Stone will no doubt appeal for a new trial based on the circumstances of this case , if President Trump doesn ’ t pardon him before that .

Whoopi Goldberg on Ocasio-Cortez: “Sit still for a minute and learn the job…before you start pooping on people” Like if you think AOC should sit still.

Mental Capacity
Goldberg even slammed AOC for pulling the race card on Pelosi in the past. This might be difficult to remember now that every member of the Democrat party is an extremist like Ocasio-Cortez, but there was a time the two didn’t get along.
AOC even insinuated at one point that Pelosi was racist for daring to criticize her and her anti-American “squad” of freshman representatives.
“When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,” Ocasio-Cortez said at the time.
“But the persistent singling out … it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful … the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.”
Goldberg called BS.
“I have a problem with how all these young women started out, when they were accusing older Democrats like myself of not getting what needed to be done in the country,” Whoopi fumed. “They started saying ‘you haven’t done this.’ I don’t think this had to do with color, I think this is more BS.”
Lucky for her, mama bear Pelosi and AOC have mended ways, with the House Speaker bowing to the New York congresswoman’s every whim.
Now, Ocasio-Cortez only mocks former vice president Joe Biden for being old and having a limited mental capacity, while unironically having her own limited mental capacity and acting as a surrogate for the 78-year-old curmudgeon, Bernie Sanders.

A new ordinance issued to police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, instructs them to stop arresting unlicensed, illegal alien drivers.
“We Need to Protect Our Community”
The “Welcoming City” ordinance was unanimously passed by Cambridge town hall authorities, declaring that “all are welcome” in their city. It tells police that if they encounter an illegal alien driving without a licence in Cambridge, then they should issue a court summons instead of arresting them:
When taking action against a person who is found to be driving without a valid driver’s license, officers of the Cambridge Police Department shall, whenever possible in the officer’s discretion and if there are no other violations causing the person to be arrested, issue a summons to court instead of taking the person into custody. In such circumstances, the law enforcement officer taking action shall endeavor to provide the driver a reasonable opportunity to arrange for a properly licensed operator to drive the vehicle before seeking to impound the vehicle, unless the violation is one subject to a statutory or regulatory requirement of vehicle impoundment.
The ordinance also stops police from questioning somebody about their immigration status.
“We need to protect our community members from a federal government that’s out of control,” Cambridge City Councilor Quinton Zondervan told Fox 25. “There are no other reasons for the police to arrest someone, give them a court summons instead which keeps them out of the clutches of the Trump administration.”

Cambridge seems to be taking its lead from the state governments in Virginia and New York, with the former having just passed legislation that would allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licences, and the latter implementing similar legislation in December. With New York’s “Green Light” law, not only do illegal aliens have the ability to obtain licences, but they actually have more rights than American citizens, as ICE and the DHS are prohibited from accessing information from a vehicle owned by an illegal alien if they have just run their plates.
This frustrates me to no end. Yet another group of pro-migration imbeciles are putting ordinary Americans at risk. What problem do you have with someone who broke, and in this case, keeps breaking, the laws of this country being investigated by the relevant authorities? I think I know the answer – it’s because they have to protect their voters somehow! I wonder if illegal aliens voted Republican, if these same people would be as inclined to protect them?

During a public appearance alongside Susan Rice , who had his same role in Barack Obama ’ s White House , Bolton said that his own testimony would not have changed the entire outcome of the Senate impeachment trial , according to the Associated Press .
Despite what Democrats who wanted him to testify said , Bolton does not believe his testimony would have made a difference in the final impeachment vote .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ should have said and what I should have done , ” Bolton said .

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton finally spoke out this week, slamming Democrats for their “grossly partisan” impeachment effort against President Donald Trump.
During a public appearance alongside Susan Rice, who had his same role in Barack Obama’s White House, Bolton said that his own testimony would not have changed the entire outcome of the Senate impeachment trial, according to the Associated Press. Despite what Democrats who wanted him to testify said, Bolton does not believe his testimony would have made a difference in the final impeachment vote.
“People can argue about what I should have said and what I should have done,” Bolton said. “I would bet you a dollar right here and now, my testimony would have made no difference to the ultimate outcome.”
He also said that the way Democrats handled the impeachment trial “drove Republicans who might have voted for impeachment away because it was so partisan.”

Rice disagreed with him, saying that nothing could have led her “to refuse to share information with Congress or the public that I thought was of national import.
“I can’t imagine withholding my testimony, with or without a subpoena,” she said. “I also can’t imagine, frankly, in the absence of being able to provide that information directly to Congress, not having exercised my First Amendment right to speak publicly at a time when my testimony or my experience would be relevant.”
Bolton, however, stood his ground, saying that the reason he didn’t “spill his guts” about Trump’s business dealings with Ukraine was that doing so would have led to him being prosecuted criminally. When asked if he would have complied with a subpoena from the White House, Bolton brought up the White House review process that is determining whether the contents of his upcoming book about working in the Trump administration can be disclosed.

“I’m not here to speculate on that with the pre-publication review process under way,” Bolton said as the audience laughed. “Laugh all you want. This is the judgment of my counsel, somebody I worked with 35 years ago, 30 years ago at the Department of Justice.”
Bolton is correct that his testimony would not have changed anything because it was clear from the get-go that the Senate would be voting along party lines. The only senator to break from his party was Mitt Romney (R-UT) who had his own personal vendetta against Trump. No other senators were swayed by the Democrats’ nonsense, as they saw right through their partisan effort. Nothing Bolton could say or not say would have had any impact on this.

John McEntee, the new head of the Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), has asked for a list of suspected anti-Trumpers in the administration.
McEntee is “Ultimate Trump Loyalist”
McEntee has been brought back into the administration as the new head of the PPO, the office tasked with vetting new appointees. The 29-year-old was fired as a “body man” for the President in 2018 by John Kelly, the then-Chief of Staff. His return suggests that President Trump is getting serious with draining the swamp, a task that his voters are desperate for him to do.
According to three separate sources, in an introductory meeting with White House cabinet liasons on Thursday, McEntee asked them to identify which appointees in the administration have anti-Trump tendencies. McEntee has the power to root out any appointees who are working against the agenda of the President, and assured staffers that anyone who does will not be promoted, instead being shifted around various agencies.
The President considers McEntee to be one of the “originals,” a core, loyal group of supporters that have been with the President during his time in the private sector and the early days of his Presidential campaign. Cliff Simms, a former White House aide, told Breitbart News that McEntee is “the ultimate Trump loyalist” and “exactly the kind of guy” that anyone who supports President Trump’s agenda would want as head of the PPO.
“This is a huge win for the MAGA movement to have him in that job,” Simms added.

Some of the other originals, such as Hope Hicks, the former White House communications director, and Dan Scavino, the White House’s director of social media, have also recently returned, suggesting that McEntee’s appointment is not a one off. However, we may not see instant change, as it looks like McEntee will save most of the big scalpings from after the President hopefully wins the election in November of this year, after they return to the White House.
