Ed Note: The firing of FBI James Comey could not come soon enough. His record has criminal ties with the Clinton's cocaine drug running days, the FBI ambush murder of LaVoy Finicum, and his latest flip-flopping with the Hillary email investigation....a ruse to look official while clearing Hillary Clinton from National Security violations involving the "Espionage Act." To add pain to misery....a secret memo from the former AG Loretta Lynch to Comey "you must clear Hillary," after the meeting between her and Bill Clinton on the tarmac at Sky Harbor Airport (PHX), suggests the conversation between Lynch and Clinton had absolutely nothing to do with the meeting as coincidental, "discussing the grand children and golfing"...give me a break !
James Comey was asked about THAT memo by the latest congressional hearings last week and Comey nearly pleaded the 5th, but because he (was) the Director of the FBI, his answer was along the lines of the memo being "confidential and part of the investigation(sic)," and that my friends and associates is (probably) what brought down his house of cards yesterday.
NOW....Comey is a civilian and can use the 5th to avoid prosecution, but will bring light to the Hillary email scandal and the Susan Rice (screw-up) of revealing the ongoing "wire tapping" (electronic surveillance) of Trump and staff by the Obama administration.
The Dems are completely out-of-control with their response to Comey's firing (now) because they fear losing any and all attempts to use Russia as THEIR diversion in-order to save Hillary Clinton and Obama from being indicted. --Dave Bertrand

Comey Oversaw Drug Cartel Money Laundering Operations As a Top Executive At HSBC Bank
My best insider source states that FBI Director James Comey has absolutely no law enforcement background, and is not qualified to run the FBI. To add insult to injury, the FBI Director held an executive position at HSBC Bank, while extreme money laundering operations where being carried out by the Mexican Drug Cartel and their terrorist allies with the direct assistance of HSBC banking officials. I asked my source if Comey would have known, and he replied “he would have to have been drunk 24/7 to not know what was going on”. --Dave Hodges
As the caption indicates, Comey has a very questionable background after having worked at HSBC bank, one of the most scandalous banks in history. So, should we be surprised that Comey essentially gave Clinton a walk, despite her blatant criminality? Better yet, why isn’t he investigating Attorney General, Loretta Lynch(mob) in regard to her conflict of interest meeting with Bill Clinton, regarding Hillary’s fate. That is because the FBI Director is just ass dirty as Lynch and the Clintonistas.

F.B.I. Director James Comey Is Fired by TrumpNew York Times - President Trump has fired the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, over his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, the White House said on Tuesday. Mr. Comey was leading an investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. “While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” Mr. Trump said in a letter to Mr. Comey dated Tuesday. “It is essential that we find new leadership for the F.B.I. that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission,” Mr. Trump wrote.
Clinton Campaign Manager ‘Terrified’ Over Comey Firing
The GatewayPundit - Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election campaign quickly expressed their disapproval of Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey. Hillary’s campaign manager, Robby Mook tweeted about the news of Comey’s firing claiming it terrified him. That makes us even happier here at TGP! Mook tweeted out ‘Twilight zone. I was disappointed and frustrated as anyone at how the email investigation was handled. But this terrifies me.’ Comey’s firing was of course welcomed by conservatives and patriots alike. Comey was involved in one scandal after covering for Hillary Clinton. Comey’s firing came at the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Trump Nominates Ten Conservatives to be Federal Judges
Breitbart - Trump has already made one other judicial nomination: Judge Amul Thapar to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Thapar is currently a federal district judge (the trial court in the federal system) in Kentucky. But at this moment, there are 122 judicial vacancies in addition to the one Thapar will fill when he is confirmed. On Monday, Trump nominated ten additional picks to fill many of those seats, five for the federal appeals courts and four for the federal district courts (in addition to one for a specialized court, the Court of Federal Claims). Most of the public attention will go to the appellate nominees, because more than 99 percent of the time a decision from a federal appeals court is a final decision because the Supreme Court does not select it for review.
California may end ban on communists in government jobs that has been on the books since the Red Scare of the 1940s and '50s
Daily Mail - Being a communist would no longer be a fireable offense for California government employees under a bill passed Monday by the state Assembly. Lawmakers narrowly approved the bill to repeal part of a law enacted during the Red Scare of the 1940s and '50s when fear that communists were trying to infiltrate and overthrow the US government was rampant. The bill, which was authored by Democratic Assemblyman Rob Bonta, now goes to the Senate. If passed there, it would eliminate part of the law that allows public employees to be fired for being a member of the Communist Party…. Assemblyman Randy Voepel, a Southern California Republican who fought in the Vietnam War, said communists in North Korea and China are 'still a threat.' This bill is blatantly offensive to all Californians,' said Assemblyman Travis Allen, a Republican who represents a coastal district in Southern California. 'Communism stands for everything that the United States stands against.'
College Destroys Books After Digitization, Sparking Fears of 1984-Style Censorship
Kit Daniels - California universities were caught removing and even destroying library books after digitizing them, a process critics warn leads to 1984-style censorship in which only “corrected” copies of books remain. UC Berkeley in particular recently removed 135,000 books from its school library, claiming that by digitizing the books, library space can be reused for meeting rooms and “nap pods.”… “The removal of 60% of the physical collection at the science library of the University of California, Santa Cruz, for instance, caused an uproar after it was reported that many of the books removed had been destroyed,” reported the Christian Science Monitor. “A campus spokesman said that nothing had been lost from the scholarly record, since duplicates were retained in other libraries or available online.” “Given the short timeframe and seeming lack of consultation of the faculty, however, many critics expressed doubts that this was actually the case.” This, of course, draws parallels to the novel 1984, in which the protagonist, Winston, works at the Ministry of Truth altering books and important texts while sequentially destroying the original sources to hide the evidence of tampering. In reality, it’s certainly plausible that SJW student-workers digitizing books at a university could “correct for history” by altering or downright removing passages from books that don’t conform to their world view.
Fed Tech Slowed ICE Agents Tracking Visa Overstays, Report Finds
Breitbart - A recent report issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shows just how much the federal government has done to handicap ICE agents who are working to find those who are illegally in the country because of visa overstays. Estimates reveal there are 1.2 million of these individuals in the country. Two of the 9/11 terrorists overstayed their visas. Visa overstays are one of the primary causes for illegal immigrants to be in the United States. Moreover, as discussed on Breitbart News Radio in an interview with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in late January, “about 40 percent of people who come to visit our country on a visa overstay their visa, and we have no idea where they are.” The senator from Kentucky added, “On 9/11, at least two of the hijackers were here on visa. They were traveling back and forth to the Middle East, and we really had no idea where they were or what they were doing, and they were overstaying their visa. So, there are problems I think in the immigration system that need to be fixed for our safety.” The report issued by DHS last week shows that ICE investigators are given a sluggishly encumbering system, causing delays in determining whether a visa holder poses a national security threat.
15 Illegal Immigrants Arrested for Alleged Identity Theft
Breitbart - The 15 illegal immigrants were indicted by a federal grand jury for identity theft, accusing the men of “using social security numbers of actual citizens, and making false claims of United States citizenship in order to obtain jobs at the facility over the past three years,” the statement read. According to prosecutors, the illegal immigrants were working under names of actual U.S. citizens. The stolen identities primarily came from citizens living in Puerto Rico. Prosecutors said that after the illegal immigrants stole the Social Security numbers, they received state-issued identification cards from Louisiana, Missouri, Texas and Arkansas in order to work in those states. The stolen Social Security numbers allowed the illegal immigrants to get past the E-Verify systems.
"Chicago Is A War Zone": Police Suicide Rate Surges To 60% Above The National Average
Zero Hedge - “Chicago is a war zone,” said Alexa James, the executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness-Chicago. “They (officers) are seeing the worst day of everybody’s life every day.” “Suicide is killing officers, alcohol is killing officers, at a far greater rate than ambushes, but there is not the same sense of urgency around this issue,” said Christy Lopez, a former Justice Department official who led the Chicago federal probe. Chicago police’s suicide rate was 29.4 per 100,000 department members between 2013 and 2015, the report said, citing police union figures. The department disagreed in the report, putting the rate at 22.7 suicides per 100,000 members. Both estimates were higher than the national average of 18.1 law enforcement suicides per 100,000…. To add insult to injury, because of Chicago’s onerous gun laws that permanently prohibit anyone who has been involuntarily committed for in-patient mental health treatment from carrying a gun, a requirement for cops, the folks working for the Chicago PD generally refuse mental health services out of fear of losing their job.

A Tour Down Homicide Lane, As Baltimore Descends Into Chaos
Zero Hedge - According to The Baltimore Sun Newspaper, the city has logged in 118 homicides today with the projection of >400 murders for year’s end. It’s so bad here that Baltimore’s Mayor has asked the Federal Government for help in attempt to regain control. Even the police union sounds the alarm of an officer shortage leading to decrease in patrols. All of this is occurring as the Baltimore population declines, nearing a 100-year low, U.S. Census says…. The mainstream media dares not to share this with you, because it destroys the gentrification narrative to lure in the millennial generation for city life. Millennials’ are frantically buying real estate <2 miles from this high homicide area. For the sake of the millennials’, let’s hope a spillover in crime does not occur in their neighborhoods. It would be detrimental to home prices.
Govt to Grab $3M from Taxpayers to Propagandize Us Into Eating GMOs
Natural Blaze - Washington Post reports: The Food and Drug Administration will fund a campaign to promote genetically modified organisms in food under a bipartisan agreement to keep the government funded through the end of September. The deal to avert a government shutdown allocates $3 million to “consumer outreach and education regarding agricultural biotechnology,” which includes genetic engineering of food and commodity crops. The money is to be used to tout “the environmental, nutritional, food safety, economic, and humanitarian impacts” of biotech crops and their derivative food products. More than 50 agriculture and food industry groups had signed on to an April 18 letter urging the funding to counter “a tremendous amount of misinformation about agricultural biotechnology in the public domain.” But some environmental groups and House Democrats have derided the provision as a government-sponsored public relations tour for the GMO industry…. Rep. Nita M. Lowey (D-N.Y.) tried to get the measure struck from the bill last month. During a hearing she had said: It is not the responsibility of the FDA to mount a government-controlled propaganda campaign to convince the American public that genetically modified foods are safe. The FDA has to regulate the safety of our food supply and medical devices. They are not, nor should they be, in the pro-industry advertising business.
