Report: Hillary Clinton Needs to Be Worried About Informant’s Testimony Tuesday
Independent Sentinel "William Campbell, the FBI informant who will testify on Tuesday, will be able to show that the Uranium One scandal went far beyond the sale of the U.S. mine and its assets. The Russian conspiracy is part of a larger plot.
"If it were not for Sen. Chuck Grassley and Campbell’s attorney Victoria Toensing, this information would have remained secret. The gag order would have put Mr. Campbell is jail had he revealed the information he collected.
"There are documents, video recordings and more to show the Obama administration and the FBI were very well aware of the depth of the Russian conspiracy to control the uranium market, even in the United States. The former president wanted a reset with Russia at all costs.
"Circa news reporter Sarah Carter was asked if Hillary Clinton should be worried about what we learn Tuesday and her one word answer was, “Yes.' ” . . .

Trump Renews Feud With CNN. Petulant? That's my word for Barack Obama
But please, please stop the tweeting! Now Trump has lost RedState, no fan of the Democrats.
Red State "President Trump renewed his feud with CNN on Saturday, taking a swipe at the network that has kept him pressed to the wall for the past year.
"Trump fed his daily red meat to his famished base on Twitter:
"That he’s singing the praises of Fox News is no surprise. Trump is the most petulant, petty, and vindictive president in modern history. He has done the Herculean task of making a corrupt Obama look mature, by comparison. He is an embarrassment of immeasurable proportions.
"Fox News gets a pass because the majority of the on-air talent for the network grovel and snivel at Trump’s feet, tossing softball interviews and cooing with doe eyes over anything he says, no matter how bizarre and unhinged.
"So what’s the latest beef to get Trump’s Depends in a knot?

"Trump fed his daily red meat to his famished base on Twitter:
.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!

The tweet comes amid tensions over a potential merger between AT&T and Time Warner. The Justice Department allegedly told AT&T to sell off either CNN’s parent company or DirecTV as a condition of approving the merger. The department formally sued AT&T to block the $85 billion merger on Monday, arguing that it would hurt competition and consumers. AT&T has denied it has offered to sell the cable network, or that it would in the future. The Justice Department move has drawn criticism from observers who note that Trump is often critical of CNN.. . .
Do not admire CNN, however. Never forget this penetrating question asked of Obama by CNN's Dan Lothian:
Protecting Pregnancy Centers
Point of View
"The Left is attempting to force California pro-life pregnancy centers to promote abortion services they don’t offer and find immoral. These centers exist to help women facing unplanned pregnancies understand they have life-affirming alternatives to abortion. Crisis pregnancy centers help young women who are often afraid and sometimes facing outside pressure to abort. Most of these centers are operated by Christians who are motivated by their faith to affirm and protect the sanctity of human life.
"Abortion activists are putting the squeeze on these centers by getting laws enacted that would dilute their message and deprive them of the right to operate according to their beliefs.
"A California law, the Reproductive FACT Act, orders pregnancy resource centers to instruct women on how to obtain free or low-cost abortions through the state’s Medi-Cal program. FACT is an acronym for Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency. Ironically, enacting this law would deprive pregnancy centers of these very qualities.
"The FACT law comes with draconian fines for centers that don’t comply. The law also forces non-medical pregnancy centers to post large and prominent disclosures, in up to 13 different languages, stating they are not medical — an attempt to undermine a pregnant woman’s confidence in them.
"Courts have struck down similar laws in Texas, Maryland, and New York. A California superior court judge ruled that the law violates the “freedom of mind” protection in the state’s 1949 Declaration of Rights. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit disagreed and permitted the statute to stand.
"Now, thanks to this split in circuit court decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to take the case and will make the final call.
"Requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to promote abortion violates their constitutional rights of conscience and free speech. The nation’s 400 pregnancy resource centers have helped countless women to choose life for their babies and the High Court now has the opportunity to affirm their right to do so." Penna Dexter

Republicans need to learn the lesson of Clinton and Kennedy
Don Surber "Scott Adams of Dilbert fame thinks Roy Moore is toast, I don't. The allegations of sexual impropriety are specious at best, and overwhelmed by the shoes elsewhere dropping like a shoe store in an earthquake.
"The election comes down to whether Republicans want to limit government, cut taxes, and Make America Great Again -- or whether they would like to please the news media. We cannot risk the disapproval of Charlie Rose, can we?"

"Democrats have no such problem. They would vote for a yellow dog if he were a Democrat, and they have.
"Ted Kennedy drove drunk, let a woman die, and not only kept his Senate seat but almost became the party's 1980 presidential nominee.
"Bill Clinton was a perjurer and abuser of women.
"In both cases, Democrats stood by their man as if they were in a Tammy Wynette song.
"Republicans will say we should not lower ourselves to their standards.
"That's loser talk.
"I love my country more than I love my party -- so I say vote for Roy Moore. If guilty, you can remove him. But if innocent, you cannot install him if he loses to super-liberal Doug Jones.
"The fate of the country is too important to give Democrats a Senate seat.
"Oh sure, Democrats are willing to sacrifice Al Franken only because Democratic Governor Mark Dayton will appoint a Democrat to succeed him.
"I don't think Franken likes the job any more." . . .

" 'I grew up with guys who did decades (in prison) and it had as much to do with their fathers not being in their lives as it did to do with any system,' he told Reuters."
Gov. Jerry Brown: California should be able to reduce public employees’ pension benefits
Leslie Eastman
Potentially a more meaningful legacy than the one that earned him the “Moonbeam” moniker.
"As Professor Jacobson recently noted, California Governor Jerry Brown occasionally has moments of sanity and clarity.
"In what can only be described as a Thanksgiving miracle, it is being reported that Brown is endeavoring to tackle the looming employee pension crisis by reforming the pension benefits for current government employees.
Gov. Jerry Brown got most of what he wanted when he carried a proposal to shore up the state’s underfunded public employee pension plans by trimming benefits for new workers.Five years later, he’s in court making an expansive case that government agencies should be able to adjust pension benefits for current workers, too.A new brief his office filed in a union-backed challenge to Brown’s 2012 pension reform law argues that faith in government hinges in part on responsible management of retirement plans for public workers.“At stake was the public’s trust in the government’s prudent use of limited taxpayer funds,” the brief reads, referring to the period when he advocated for pension changes during the recession.
"Brown has been battling the public employee unions in California over the 2012 pension reform measures, and his office this month supplanted the attorney general in defending Brown’s pension reform law court. Legal Insurrection readers will recall that the state attorney general is Xavier Becerra, who has spent much of his time in office overseeing the states War Against President Trump.
"The numbers behind California’s current pension woes are staggering." . . .
SICK! April Ryan Hurls Racist Insults at Diamond and Silk Over #PieGate
The Gateway Pundit "Diamond and Silk were racially attacked by April Ryan following an appearance on Fox and Friends Weekend on Saturday morning in which the Trump supporting black female duo talked about several topics, including the ginned up by liberals controversy over White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Thanksgiving Day chocolate pecan pie. Diamond and Silk, while harshly critical of Ryan, did not attack their fellow black female in racial terms, making the responding racist attacks on them by Ryan more disturbing.
"Sanders was accused on Friday by April Ryan, a CNN analyst and White House reporter for American Urban Radio Network, of faking a photo of the pie and demanded that Sanders bake her a pie to prove herself. However, Ryan said she would not eat the pie, accusing Sanders of wanting to poison her because she is a reporter.
"The photo of the pie posted by Sanders has been proven by Gizmodo to not have been previously posted to the Internet." . . .
“As I watched Man Tan, Sleep and Eat, Aunt Jemima, Li’l Nigger Jim, Sambo and Rastus, along with a band called the Alabama Porch Monkeys (played by the Roots) cavorting and lazing about in their watermelon patch…”
"Liberal White House reporters like April Ryan are allowed to use racism to attack Trump supporting black women because why, CNN?"
Linda Tripp: 'It's a Day Late, and It's a Dollar Short'
The Weekly Standard
"Monica Lewinsky's confidante has a lot to say to the women who have finally acknowledged that Bill Clinton is a sexual predator."
. . . "Tripp has a quiet life in Northern Virginia horse country, avoiding the public attention that was so unwelcome in the late 1990s. But the unending flow of headlines about the bad behavior of powerful men, she says, “is forcing me to relive a lot of it.” She’s unconvinced by recent calls in the press for Clinton’s deeds to be reconsidered in a more critical light. “They have nothing to lose, and this is now permissible,” she says. “The fact that the Clintons are dead in the water gives [the media] tacit approval to act like human beings. . . . It’s disingenuous.”
"She finds it particularly galling to hear former Clinton defenders attributing their latter-day awakening to evolving social mores. In a November 16 interview with the New York Times, New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand said that she now believes that Bill Clinton should have resigned because of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. “Things have changed,” she said.
“ 'What information do they have at their fingertips today that they didn’t have 20 years ago?” Tripp asks. “What information has changed?' ” . . .
