Illinois Attorney General Candidate Robbed in Broad Daylight in Chicago
Illinois Attorney General Candidate Robbed in Broad Daylight in Chicago. OK, with regards to the “We don’t know whether to laugh or cry” thing we’re lauging our ass off. More lefty AG candidates and AG’s should get robbed. Perhaps after a bit they’ll figure out legal guns and legal concealed carry is OK.

Spike’s Tactical and Pipe Hitters Union Attacked for Anti-Antifa Ad
Spike’s Tactical and Pipe Hitters Union Attacked for Anti-Antifa Ad. Amazing how it’s OK for ANTIFA to really attack people and nary a word from the MSM, but put an ad up that in reality hurts no one and they start screeching and heading for their safe spaces.

SAN CRISTOBAL/BARINAS, Venezuela, Jan 11 (Reuters) – Hungry mobs ransacked a food collection center, and a supermarket in Venezuela’s western Andean state of Merida on Thursday and reportedly even slaughtered cattle grazing in a field as unrest over food shortages spread through the country.

Trump Alarms Lawmakers With Disparaging Words for Haiti and Africa
Trump Alarms Lawmakers With Disparaging Words for Haiti and Africa. Like Trum or not he says what he thinks and if you don’t like it too bad. Driving liberals crazy like a pro.
President Trump on Thursday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and African countries, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than people from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.
Hoyer calls Pelosi’s ‘five white guys’ remark offensive
Hoyer calls Pelosi’s ‘five white guys’ remark offensive. What to you call it when you’re racist against your own race? Race traitor? Stupid? Idiotic? Or a “Nancy Pelosi?”
“The five white guys I call them, you know,” Pelosi said, referring to five bipartisan lawmakers, including Hoyer, leading efforts to salvage the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. All five of the lawmakers are white.
81 companies announce wage hikes, bonuses, benefits in afterglow of Trump tax reform
81 companies announce wage hikes, bonuses, benefits in afterglow of Trump tax reform. We wonder what Nancy Pelosi and her buddies still think there’s no such thing as trickle down economics?

Authorities Concerned Over Gun Violence Wave On Australia’s Gold Coast
Authorities Concerned Over Gun Violence Wave On Australia’s Gold Coast. Wut? Gun-control isn’t working? Let’s face it Aussies. The only people you confiscated guns from were law-abiding citizens who for the most part would never use one for a crime. Surprise! The criminals kept theirs and continue to get more on the black market.

UNDERCOVER VIDEO: TWITTER SENIOR ENGINEER REVEALS GIVING TRUMP’S PRIVATE DM’S TO DOJ! We guess Twitter has some other definition of ‘private.’
Muslim converts to Christ beg Pope Francis to stop being an ass
Muslim converts to Christ beg Pope Francis to stop being an ass. Okay, yeah, we paraphrased somewhat but that’s basically what they said. Here’s the opening of the letter they sent him:
“Many of us have tried to contact you, on many occasions and for several years, and we have never received the slightest acknowledgement of our letters or requests for meetings. You do not like to beat around the bush, and neither do we, so allow us to say frankly that we do not understand your teaching about Islam…”
Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner call off divorce
Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner call off divorce. In our opinion this is mighty convenient. Now that the heat’s turned up they can’t testify against each other (spousal privilege).

Fusion GPS Admits They Used John McCain to Pass Anti-Trump Dossier to Obama-Era Intel Agencies. Yet more pointing to McCain as a pouting loser who is so jealous of Donald Trump he’ll do about anything to cause Trump problems.

Elon Musk launches military spy satellite with much fanfare

Elon Musk launches multi-billion dollar U.S. spy satellite with much fanfare on Sunday… but keeps the announcement of the news that the damn thing disappeared/blew up/crashed to earth/failed to thrive/whatever, much more low key on Monday.

Oprah #SheKnew
‘Nobody will ever have to say Me Too again’: Oprah reduces Golden Globes guests to tears with ‘presidential’ speech praising the women AND men leading Tinseltown’s fightback from sex abuse scandals. We don’t believe for one moment that the most powerful woman in Hollywood didn’t know what was going on in Hollywood. Perhaps she didn’t know about the abuse of females going on in her own house, but it is beyond belief to think that she didn’t know what was going on in the town she runs. As such her posturing is too little, too late for the victims her cowardice failed; but might be just enough for her own self-serving “presidential” agenda.

Black dresses, red carpet: Stars send symbolic message at the Globes
Black dresses, red carpet: Stars send symbolic message at the Globes:
Dozens of actresses (and several men) arrived at the Golden Globes in black outfits, a symbolic statement of solidarity with victims of sexual misconduct.
Hollywood had their chance to raise awareness of sexual misconduct. They opted to keep their money and jobs instead. A decision which created untold number of sexual victims of the sort these smug cowards are patting themselves on the back for “standing with” today.

Steve Bannon makes groveling APOLOGY to the president and his son – saying his ‘treason’ comments about Trump Tower meeting were meant for Paul Manafort. It appears Bannon either needs new glasses or he needs to knock off the gin, or both.

Joe Conason: Investigating the Clintons “Sells to Boobs Out there on the Right”. As opposed to the Clintons, who sold uranium to the Russians, sold ICBM nuclear delivery tech to the Chinese, and gave North Korea the bomb for free.

RIGGED: Awan Judge Appointed by Obama Delays High-Profile Imran Trial Yet Again; Swamp Running Scared. Nothing to see here except how Obama’s still screwing the country, now move on.
And Chutkan’s former law firm, where she worked until her appointment to the federal bench in 2014, currently represents Huma Abedin, the wife of disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner. The firm also is stacked with Democratic lawyers who worked for Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and Barack Obama’s White House, just to name a few D.C. insiders.
