A terrorist who set off an explosive in Chelsea last year shared bomb-making instructions in jail as part of an attempt “to radicalize fellow inmates,” according to a federal prosecutor. Ahmad Khan Rahimi also shared books on jihad, lectures by Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki, as well as issues of an online magazine published by Al Qaeda, according to  The  New York Times . Rahimi, of Elizabeth, N.J., was convicted of several terror charges in October for planting homemade bombs in various locations in New York and New Jersey. Thirty people were injured on Sept. 17, 2016, when a pressure cooker bomb filled with ball bearings and steel nuts detonated on 23rd Street, crumpling a dumpster while shrapnel flew through the air and shattered windows as far as 400 feet away. Allegations of Rahimi’s activity at the Metropolitan Correctional Center came in a letter Friday from the office of acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim to Judge Richard Berman, who is due to sentence th...

President Trump got to open his Christmas present early. Trump signed the sweeping GOP tax overhaul bill, his first major legislative victory, during an abruptly arranged Oval Office ceremony on Friday before jetting off to Florida for the holidays. The President applauded absent Republicans and sang the praises of the $1.5 trillion bill, which provides permanent cuts for businesses and the wealthy and modest temporary cuts for the middle class. He said he was moved to rush the signing after watching news reports about the legislation. “I was going to wait for a formal signing sometime in early January, but then I watch the news this morning, and they were all saying, ‘Will he keep his promise? Will he sign it by Christmas?’ ” the President said. “I call downstairs and said, ‘get it ready, we have to sign it now.’ ” Trump promised the law will be a boon for the middle class and again repeated the false claim that the bill is the largest tax cut in American history. ...

As more and more leftist activist was accepting the idea for pressing charges for defamation on President Trump for his alleged “insults” in some of his tweets, the court of appeals decided that it is time to react before they take advantage of the “holes” in the system to get to the President beside his innocence and in some cases objectivity in the context of the tweets. On Tuesday, a New York appeals court ruled out a bill that you cannot press charges for defamation on President Trump for his statements on Twitter. These are not insults, these are statements. Via The Daily Caller: “The decision was made after Republican strategist Cheryl Jacobus accused the president of sending a “virtual mob” to attack her after she went on national television and questioned whether he was fit for office. In response, Trump called her a “real dummy!”, “major loser” and claimed she “begged” him for a job on his campaign, despite her insistences that she didn’t. Jacobus was seeking $4 mil...

The signature achievement of Elizabeth Warren while in the Senate has been the creation of the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau, or CFPB. It was created to act as a watchdog for the financial industry following the 2008-09 financial crisis. Now it’s all coming out what she’s allegedly responsible for doing and it’s not good. Trump has appointed Mick Mulvaney to head the agency, a man who has called the agency a “joke” before, and said that he doesn’t believe it should even exist. I’m sure Warren must be thrilled. It’s a good thing too, because it means a man aware of the reality of the situation at the bureaucratic nightmare that if the CFPB. According to an explosive Wall Street Journal piece last year titled the “Consumer Financial Protection Racket,” the paper’s editorial board takes an ax to the law. Instead of protecting consumers, the CFPB “has complied record of abuse rivaling that of Washington’s most entrenched bureaucracies and may be operating outside of the...

Special Counsel for Trump-Russia Investigation Robert Mueller has been all the time politically incorrect and totally indifferent how he came on top. This dishonorable man with no integrity is nothing more but part of the shadow government that has our President as a target to overthrow him and has complete control over the whole country. Now things are beginning to come worse for Robert Mueller. LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions in which he openly accuses Robert Mueller “and other Federal Bureau of Investigation employees in the commission of treason and less-included offenses.” These offenses that Fitzpatrick is referring to were all done with the goal of pushing President Donald Trump closer to impeachment. In his letter, Fitzpatrick “formally” accuses Robert “Bob” Swan Mueller of treason. He explained that Robert Mueller is leading the “criminal racket” which is actively pursuing extremely aggressive attempts at ...

There’s absolutely nothing that’s off limits when it comes to liberals attacking the president and vice president. Personal life events are no exception and are in fact their favorite targets to tear either of these men and their families down. They see no shame in the game of getting ahead by making other people look and feel bad and this sudden death is their latest ploy. The Pence family tries to maintain their personal privacy as much as they can for a couple in their very public position. You can’t blame them either since even the most honorable details of their relationship become a big point of criticism and used against them. We saw this when Mike Pence wasn’t afraid to say that he and his wife Karen Pence have an agreement in their marriage to never dine alone with another woman, out of respect for his wife. This proved to be good decision since there was no way he could be tied into the recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations that have swept...

In a friendly interview with CBS News financial analyst Mellody Hobson, President Obama suggested we could have an American genocide akin to what happened in Nazi Germany with Donald Trump as President. The former president was speaking to the Economic Club of Chicago when he made the caustic remark,  in comments captured  by Crain’s Chicago Business political columnist Greg Hinz. According to Hinz, Obama warned Trump’s “nativism” and distrust of the press would cause our “democracy to fall apart quickly.”  Obama then made the connection between Trump and Hitler, warning “60 million people died,” when the world got “complacent.” Hinz summarized Obama’s comments directed at Trump, as follows: Obama moved from that to talking about a nativist mistrust and unease that has swept around the world. He argued that such things as the speed of technical change and the uneven impact of globalization have come too quickly to be absorbed in many cultures, bringing...
