The Latest: Trump lawyer claims up to $20m in damages
The latest episode on the Stormy Daniels and President Trump affair.
Donald Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, wants a lawsuit brought by porn actress Stormy Daniels moved to federal court, and claims the woman could owe $20 million in damages for violating a non-disclosure agreement.
The Friday court filing seeks to move Daniels’ case from a state-level court to federal court in Los Angeles.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is seeking to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement. She has offered to return the $130,000 she was paid.
The filing accuses Clifford of violating the agreement more than 20 times.
A separate filing says Trump would join a request to have the case heard by an arbitrator.
Clifford’s lawyer says it’s an attempt to have the matter decided in private arbitration, “thus hiding the truth from the public.”
A porn actress who said she had sex with Donald Trump before he became president has been threatened with physical harm, her attorney says.
Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has been seeking to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election in order to discuss their relationship, which she said began in 2006 and continued for about a year.
Clifford’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, tells The Associated Press his client had been “physically threatened,” but he isn’t providing details. He won’t not comment on whether the threats came from anyone tied to the president, the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization.
Now that Trump has his feet wet in politics he has learned how to deal with some really seamy characters. Oh yes, if stormy is telling the truth about a relationship with “The Donald” she doesn’t measure up to Mrs. Trump either in character or looks.
Somehow I think if Trump was fooling around before he married Melania, he would never jeopardize his relationship with maybe the loveliest woman ever to serve as First Lady. If she is standing by her man I think I can as well.
PS, my Helen would trump Stormy.
Free to Be…Whatever Gets Me into Harvard
by Angela Box
I’ve often wondered if liberals’ obsession with “identity” isn’t really a ruse to justify their penchant for pretending to be something other than who they are.
During the late 1960s, cretinous liberals began their never-ending journey of self-empowerment. The world was never the same.
In the mid-1970s, when the Hairy Armpits-n-Braless Women’s Lib Movement was in full swing, a wonderful album was made. It was called “Free to be…You and Me.” On a superficial level, its message was uplifting and positive. Equality—among men and women and people all shapes, sizes and colors! What a concept.
The quaint (by today’s insane standards) Free to Be…You and MeBut even as a child, I picked up on the ridiculous propaganda littered throughout the album. There was the story about William wanting a doll and getting teased for it until his grandma bought him one—because William would grow up to be a father one day (how NON-inclusive by today’s politically correct standards!).
Or, the story of Princess Atalanta, who ran as fast as the wind. Her father set up a race for her suitors to run, and whoever won the race was to be her prince. Except, naturally, Atalanta decided to run the race as well.
Spoiler alert: Atalanta won the race, and decided that she wanted to travel the world and choose for herself who she would marry. (Fun liberal fact: I vividly remember Alan Alda and Marlo Thomas narrating this story. Even as a child, I found them cringy and annoying.)
Of course, 1960s and 70s feminists and liberals—while certainly radical–are mild compared to today’s lunatics.
It seems to me, instead of “Free to Be…You and Me”, many leftists are bound and determined to be anything other than who God made them.
Case in point – The very white and highly strident Oklahoma-born, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Pocahontas – as President Trump is wont to call her–has been accused of inventing a Native American backstory in order to capture a plum job teaching at Harvard—based on those dubious credentials.
Sen. Pocahontas of MassachusettsShe has sputtered, hemmed and hawed, but has never proven that she’s actually Native American. In fact, a Massachusetts newspaper has offered to buy her a $99 Ancestry DNA kit to prove her heritage. I’ve done it, Senator! Just spit in a tube and mail it off! It’s that simple.
Naturally, this good and honorable liberal has so far refused to prove she is a truthful person. Instead, her story goes something like this: Daddy‘s grandparents (or whatever) were Native American and Mama‘s parents didn’t want them to be married because they were white, virulent racists. But they went ahead and got married anyway because #TrueLove.
Now, her idiot constituents may buy this Social Justice Warrior fake backstory, but most normal people do not.
In essence, the good Senator is simply a white woman pretending to be another ethnicity in order to get ahead.
Speaking of transracial fruitcakes, remember Rachal Dolezall? Oh, you remember Rachel! She was the blonde white chick who kinked her hair, frizzed it out, and darkened her skin in order to appear black. In fact, she passed herself off as black for at least a decade.
Transracial black activist Rachel Dolezal (after and before), whom I never grow weary of mocking.Her embarrassed family had to out her as – unfortunately – just another white woman. She continues to be a “black activist” to this day and claims that being transracial is actually a thing.
On March 13 in Pennsylvania’s District 18 squeaker of a special election, Conor Lamb—the Democrat who won by 585 votes–was closer to President Trump on issues than Republican Rick Saccone. In fact, he was like a Mini Trump!
Democrats can brag about the victory, but the only reason Lamb was the nominee is because this was a special election and he did not have to go through a primary process. Essentially, he was hand-picked by local party officials—who made sure to find the closest Trump replica possible.
Democrat Conor Lamb narrowly beat Republican Rick Saccone by being a Mini-TrumpIn every race Democrats can choose DINO (Democrat in Name Only) candidates who are Trump clones, they will have a chance. But when Democrats act like Democrats—or in 99% of other races, were George Soros/Bernie Sanders bots are winning primaries, the story will be different. On that note, if Lamb actually does vote like he ran as a candidate, he will be bounced by liberal lunatics in his first primary.
It proves yet again that Trump’s issues win elections.
And we can’t forget about Colin Kaepernick! Mr. Black Power, Mr. Mile High Afro, Mr. Citizen of the Year for GQ Magazine. That lying, whining, spoiled brat who was adopted as an infant out of poverty by two wonderful white parents–who undoubtedly are mortified by what their son has become. And what has he become? A racist, disrespectful, idiotic, Useful Idiot for the Left. Perhaps we should call Colin “transathletic” since he is merely a radical activist pretending to be a football player.
When you add in the scores of truly confused individuals who think they are different genders and all of the other nonsense leftists shove down our throats, it’s no wonder why “Free to Be…You and Me” sounds almost quaint today.
But you won’t hear yesterday’s feminists stand up and say: “Cut it out, willya? This was never the intent of the original Women’s Movement.”
But you won’t hear yesterday’s feminists stand up and say: “Cut it out, willya? This was never the intent of the original Women’s Movement.”
No – they never will. Because for the Left, their goals begin and end with foisting their extremist, radical philosophy onto the rest of us. These people cannot be cajoled—they must be soundly defeated.
Well…soundly defeated after we mercilessly—and justifiably–mock them into submission.
BOMBSHELL: Flynn Case Gets Crazier, Texts Show FBI Agent Was Friends With Judge
In a new explosive report by Sara Carter, the General Flynn case has gotten even more questionable.
An FBI agent, who’s been receiving a lot of attention in the Trump Russia investigation, was good friends with a District of Columbia judge who who presided over the hearing where General Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
Yes, Peter Strzok is back in the news again. This time, the texts with his FBI agent lover Lisa Page talked about U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras.
Contreras was removed from being the presiding judge on the Flynn case just seven days after Flynn’s Dec 1, 2017 hearing.
Strzok, who was removed from Robert Mueller’s team last year, was previously exposed when DOJ’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered his anti-Trump text messages to Lisa Page.
Sara Carter reports:
Newly redacted text messages discovered by congressional investigators reveal that an embattled FBI agent at the center of the Russia investigation controversy was close friends with a District of Columbia judge who recused himself from the criminal case over former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, congressional members said, and text documents show.
In a text message chain from Page to Strzok on July 25, 2016, she writes, “Rudy is on the FISC! Did you know that? Just appointed two months ago.” At that point, the pair continues to discuss other issues but comes back to Contreras, “I did. We talked about it before and after. I need to get together with him.” Then later Strzok appears to return to his discussion about Contreras.
Below is part of the text chain:
Page: “Thought of it because you had to Google FISC judges and him there. I’m telling you.”
Strzok: “….She brought up a good point about being circumspect in talking to him in terms of not placing him into a situation where he’d have to recuse himself.”
Page: “I can’t imagine you either one of you could talk about anything in detail meaningful enough to warrant recusal.” Page then goes back to discussing a different issue saying, “Anyway, maybe you meant to, but didn’t.’
Strzok: “Really? Rudy. I’m in charge of espionage for the FBI. Any espionage FISA comes before him, what should he do? Given his friend oversees them?”
Page: “Standards for recusal are quite high. I just don’t think this poses an actual conflict. And he doesn’t know what you do?”
Strzok: “Generally he does know what I do. Not the level or scope or area but he’s super thoughtful and rigorous about ethics and conflicts. (redacted) suggested a social setting with others would probably be better than a one on one meeting. I’m sorry, I’m just going to have to invite you to that cocktail party. Of course, you’ll be there. Have to come up with some other work people cover for action.”
Page: “Why more? Six is a perfectly fine dinner party.”
On Twitter, there’s been a massive amount of outrage, Donald Trump Jr. even tweeted “Wow. This just keeps getting better and better.”
How do you feel about the Flynn case? Was he framed?

Oh ok. So explosive text messages reveal that the FISA court judge, who recused himself from General Flynn’s case, who was an Obama appointee is friends with the anti Trump corrupt FBI agent Peter Strzok..
The deep state is one giant web of deceit where everyone is connected.

NFL Player: Gun Violence, Abortion, Sex Trafficking All ‘Connected’
Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson (82) scores a touchdown against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 3, 2017, in Baltimore. (Al Tielemans via AP)NFL player Benjamin Watson said school shootings, human trafficking and children losing their lives “before they get a chance to live” are tragedies that call for lawmakers and the general public to reassess how they “value life.”
“Anything we can do to protect life and understand that life begins at conception and ends at death; I mean, I think obviously we vote on different things and we have to respect what people desire, that’s part of the reason the laws are the way they are now, but any way we can protect life. A lot of the time when we talk about being pro-life, when you look at what’s happening in our country, when you look at the shootings, sex trafficking, you look at mass incarceration issues, you look at all these things, they are all connected, in my opinion,” Watson, who played for the Baltimore Ravens last football season and is currently a free agent, said during an interview with PJM at a recent Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) conference on Capitol Hill.
“It’s all about how we value life and not just life before it’s born but also once it is here,” he added. “So for me, it’s always about taking a holistic view of it. So it’s not tied just to abortion, but it’s also about how we value life for those that are already here, as well – because I think when you do that, you also protect life before it’s born.”
Watson, who delivered a speech at the March For Life last year, said that 60 million children have been aborted since Roe v. Wade, calling it an “atrocity” that largely “happens in the shadows.”
“And since we can’t really see what’s happening, a lot of times, not just with this but with a lot of other things that are happening around the world, if we can’t see it, we somehow don’t feel like it’s urgent and important,” he said.
Watson, who plays tight end and began his career with the New England Patriots, said his goal is to bring more public attention to issues such as abortion, violence tearing apart local communities, sex trafficking and mass incarceration.
“This is tragic, what’s happening in these schools. It’s tragic what’s happening in our communities when it comes to any sort of violence and it’s tragic what’s happening to victims of, as I mentioned before, trafficking and those sorts of things – what’s happening around the world when it comes to these regimes in places like Syria and Nigeria and things like that,” he said. “And it’s also tragic what’s happening right around the corner from us in places where children are losing their lives before they get a chance to live it.”

Trump’s Revolving Door Is Good Policy, Not Chaos
By Dick Morris
Sometimes, President Donald Trump’s endless cycle of hirings and firings seems like a White House in chaos.
And sometimes it is.
But this current round of musical chairs is intentional, needed, and a wise response to the changing atmospherics surrounding the Trump presidency.
When he took office, Trump needed to appoint reassuring figures who would calm the financial markets and the international community.
With a reputation of a bull in a china shop (or a China shop), he needed to appoint Rex Tillerson as secretary of state and Gen. H.R. McMaster as national security advisor so as to tell jittery NATO allies that he was not about to upset the alliance and radically change our foreign policy.
Similarly, he needed to name Gary Cohn as his top economics adviser to calm Wall Street and send a message of continuity.
But those needs have now passed. Everybody has adjusted to the fact of the Trump presidency.
Now it’s time to move ahead with his agenda for change.
So it makes perfect sense to replace Tillerson with current CIA Director Mike Pompeo to encourage a tougher policy toward North Korea on its nuclear weapons, China on its dismal record on trade and intellectual property, Iran on its support of terrorism, and Russia on the long reach of its KGB into foreign countries.
Likewise, if Trump replaces McMaster with the likes of John Bolton, what a strong message that will send to our adversaries!
On domestic policy, he has gotten the best out of Gary Cohn. His aide’s skill and wisdom were essential in crafting the tax reform bill that is saving his presidency.
Now, he can pursue a more explicitly conservative, free market economic agenda with Larry Kudlow.
A change like this is not reshuffling, but updating his administration to meet the needs he now has.
When he fired Steve Bannon or Reince Priebus, it was an indication of early chaos in the White House.
But the replacement of Tillerson, Cohn and, hopefully, McMaster is the outcome of a deliberate and wise policy initiative.

Six Lowlights from Globalist, Pro-Islam H.R. McMaster’s Career - Trump Should Dispatch Him ASAP
by AARON KLEIN
JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty
NEW YORK — Amid widespread reports that National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster is expected to lose his job within days, it is instructive to recall the troubling ideology and concerning connections of the man who has been serving in one of the most powerful U.S. national security positions.
Below, in no particular order, are six Breitbart News exposes authored by this reporter that unearthed McMaster’s disturbing ties and ideology.
1 – McMaster repeatedly minimized the religious motivations of Islamic terrorist groups.
As Trump’s national security adviser, McMaster has faced controversy numerous times for repeatedly minimizing the religious motivations of terrorist groups, including referring to the ideology of Mideast jihadists as “irreligious” in an interview last December.
In November, after Sayfullo Saipov plowed into a crowd of pedestrians and bicyclists in Lower Manhattan, killing eight people, McMaster referred to the attack as among a grouping of “mass murderers.”
This despite reports Saipov left behind a note declaring that the attack was perpetuated in the name of the Islamic State. And witnesses heard Saipov shouting “Allahu Akbar!,” Arabic for “Allah is great,” during the terrorist assault. IS claimed responsibility for the attack.
One month earlier, McMaster labeled the September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks “mass murder attacks,” instead of calling them acts of terrorism.
Last February, CNN cited a source inside a National Security Council meeting quoting McMaster as saying that use of the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” is unhelpful in working with allies to fight terrorism.
In May, McMaster spoke on ABC’s This Week about whether Trump would use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” in a speech that the president was about to give in Saudi Arabia. “The president will call it whatever he wants to call it,” McMaster said.
“But I think it’s important that, whatever we call it, we recognize that [extremists] are not religious people. And, in fact, these enemies of all civilizations, what they want to do is to cloak their criminal behavior under this false idea of some kind of religious war.”
Breitbart News unearthed a 2014 speech about the Middle East in which McMaster claimed that Islamic terrorist organizations are “really un-Islamic” and are “really irreligious organizations” who cloak themselves in the “false legitimacy of Islam.”
Delivering the keynote address at last April’s Norwich University ROTC Centennial Symposium, McMaster criticized “modern-day barbarians like Daesh and al-Qaeda who cynically use a perverted interpretation of religion to perpetuate ignorance, incite hatred, and commit the most heinous crimes against innocents.”
2 – McMaster endorsed a book that advocates Quran-kissing apology ceremonies, and frames jihad as largely peaceful.
Breitbart News reported that McMaster endorsed and touted a book that frames jihad as a largely peaceful “means to struggle or exert effort,” such as waking up early in the morning to recite prayers. It argues that groups like al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations have hijacked the concept of jihad to wage warfare using such tactics as suicide bombings.
That same book calls Hamas an “Islamist political group” while failing to categorize the deadly organization as a terrorist group and refers to al-Qaeda attacks and anti-Israel terrorism as “resistance.”
One section of the book calls on the U.S. military to respond to any “desecrations” of the Quran by service members with an apology ceremony, and advocates kissing a new copy of the Quran before presenting the Islamic text to the local Muslim public.
The book’s author further demanded that any American soldier who “desecrates” the Quran be ejected from the foreign country of deployment, relieved of duty and turned over to a military judge for “punishment.”
“Desecration” of the Quran, according to the McMaster-endorsed book, includes such acts as “letting the Quran fall to the ground during a search, or more blatant instances.”
3 – McMaster worked at a think tank backed by George Soros-funded group that helped Obama sell the Iran nuclear deal.
From September 2006 to February 2017, McMaster is listed as a member of International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), where he served as consulting senior fellow. The IISS describes itself as a “world-leading authority on global security, political risk and military conflict.”
It is more than that. IISS is financed by a controversial, George Soros-funded group identified by the Obama White House as central in helping to sell the Iran nuclear deal to the public and news media.
The IISS has been supportive of the Obama administration-brokered 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, and the group has repeatedly hit back against charges that Tehran has violated the agreement. McMaster himself has been accused of purging the National Security Council of hardliners on Iran.
AN IISS donor is the Ploughshares Fund, a grantmaking group identified by the Obama White House as central in helping to market the Iran nuclear deal to the news media.
The involvement of Ploughshares in selling the Iran agreement to the public was revealed in an extensive New York Times Magazine profile of Obama’s former deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, titled, “The Aspiring Novelist Who Became Obama’s Foreign-Policy Guru.” The article contains interviews with Rhodes and scores of top Obama administration officials.
Robert Malley, then a senior director at the National Security Council, expounded on the genesis and execution of the marketing plan to sell the Iran deal.
Malley explained to the Times that “experts” were utilized to create an “echo chamber” that disseminated administration claims about Iran to “hundreds of often-clueless reporters” in the news media.
Times author David Samuels wrote:
In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. “We created an echo chamber,” he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”
Rhodes told Samuels that the marketing strategy took advantage of the “absence of rational discourse” and utilized outside groups, including Ploughshares.
When I suggested that all this dark metafictional play seemed a bit removed from rational debate over America’s future role in the world, Rhodes nodded. “In the absence of rational discourse, we are going to discourse the [expletive] out of this,” he said. “We had test drives to know who was going to be able to carry our message effectively, and how to use outside groups like Ploughshares, the Iran Project and whomever else. So we knew the tactics that worked.” He is proud of the way he sold the Iran deal. “We drove them crazy,” he said of the deal’s opponents.
Ploughshares says it has awarded hundreds of grants “whose aggregate value exceeded $60 million.”
A previous investigation by this reporter showed Ploughshares has partnered with a who’s-who of the radical left, including Code Pink, the pro-Palestinian J Street, United for Peace & Justice, the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation and Demos, a progressive economic advisory group where Obama’s controversial former green jobs czar, Van Jones, has served on the board.
The group says its mission is to support the “smartest minds and most effective organizations to reduce nuclear stockpiles, prevent new nuclear states, and increase global security.”
Ploughshares is in turn financed by Soros’s Open Society Institute, the Buffett Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Rockefeller Foundation.
Another Ploughshares donor is the Tides Foundation, which is one of the largest funders of the radical left. Tides is funded by Soros.
Ploughshares has donated to the Institute for Policy Studies, which calls for massive slashes in the U.S. defense budget.
It has also financed the International Crisis Group, a small organization that boasts George Soros and his son, Alexander, on its board and where Malley now worksas vice president for public policy.
4 – McMaster’s former group scrubbed — then re-added — Soros financing from its website.
Soros’s Open Society is also a direct donor to IISS.
The IISS re-added Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the Soros-financed Ploughshares group to the list of donors on its website following a request from this reporter on the matter.
During a Breitbart News investigation in August, neither the Open Society or Ploughshares were listed on the IISS website page titled “Our Funding” despite this reporter finding literature from those two groups documenting their financing of IISS.
Following a request for comment, both the Open Society and Ploughshares groups were added back to the IISS donor page.
As well as the Open Society Foundation, we also accidentally removed the Carnegie, McArthur, and James Foundations, as well as a number of governments and corporate supporters, when we updated the page ten days ago. Your question brought this to our attention and the listing has now been corrected.
5 – McMaster’s former firm is funded by Sharia-ruled Bahrain — up to 25% of its total income.
Besides direct Soros funding, IISS also quietly took in about $32.5 million in funding from Bahrain, a country whose constitution explicitly enshrines Sharia Islamic law as the governing doctrine. The funding from Bahrain, a repressive regime with a dismal human rights track record but also an important regional U.S. ally, reportedly amounted to one quarter of the think tank’s total income.
A significant portion of the Bahraini funding reportedly pays for the think tank’s annual conference in Bahrain, the Mamana Dialogue. The original agreement between IISS and Bahrain to finance the conference contained a clause calling for the memorandum of understanding to remain confidential, according to the document, which was leaked by a watchdog and published by the Guardian newspaper last year.
As a member of IISS, McMaster participated in the Sixth Mamana Dialogue summit in Bahrain from December 11 to December 13, 2009, Breitbart News found. He is listed in IISS literature as being part of the Mamana Dialogue’s four-person panel that year on “military transformation, intelligence and security cooperation.”
6 – McMaster served at a group financed by multinational corporations doing billions in Iran business.

Andrea Tantaros Re-Surfaces After Fox Separation… Here’s What She’s Doing Now
After vanishing from Fox News under some seriously mysterious circumstances, Andrea Tantaros is popping up again in the public eye. We are finally hearing from her again, but it is not us she is talking to, it is Donald Trump. She wants him in the White House come January and she has some pretty smart advice to give him to ensure he gets there…
From the Examiner:
One of those strategies Trump has hit on already, but Tantaros suggests that he keep it in the headlines. That strategy would be to harp on the escapades of the Clinton’s in the ’90s.
She suggests that Trump keep the ’90s alive and well during his campaign. This way the millennial women can become familiar with how Hillary chose to handle this scandal, which was turn it around on the women!

Tantaros has suggested another brilliant strategy when it comes to Trump reeling in the votes of the women in the Midwest burbs. Bringing up baby is a very important job, but at one time it was dismissed by Hillary in a very condescending way. Tantaros writes “he (Trump) should remind suburban women of Hillary’s infamous insult to stay-at-home moms.” This is something that Tantaros has been suggesting for some time now. In an interview in the beginning of May, she suggested that Trump bring up Hillary’s stay-at-home mom commit, as seen on News Max back then.
Another strategy is plain and simple… “More Ivanka!” Like most folks out there, Tantaros sees Ivanka as a very strong person in the Trump campaign. She suggests that the proud father to continue to bring out more of his intelligent and well rounded daughter for his campaign.
Tantaros writes: “To young women, hearing Ivanka tout how her dad elevated her to the highest levels of the Trump organization and entrusts her with far more than just his American Express is the best evidence that he puts his faith in females who earn it.”
Tantaros offers four ways for Trump to make even more headway with women voters than he already has. Another suggestion she has for Trump is to get some of the women who hold those higher positions in his businesses out there for people to meet. Women who have risen to the top in a Trump business are who he might want to introduce to folks to as he continues on his campaign trail.
Well, after reading this, it makes it pretty clear what Fox News is really missing out on. One smart woman, who isn’t afraid of making waves to do some good. I’d say Fox News is doing their viewers a great disservice by keeping her off the air, but maybe this new path as a political consultant, that seems to be forming, is her next big thing. We shall see.
Guess who is with Hillary again? Yup, Huma Abedin. Remember her?
Hillary is the babe with the broken arm...Huma on right.
G’ day…Ciao…Helen and Moe Lauzier
