Midnight, Republicans and Americans in general really better wake dafuck up soon, or we’re going straight into Civil War.
The socialists have roughly a 10% movement, bought and paid for by people like Soros. There aint enough of these scumbags to fill a Jail cell. Yet they have declared open warfare on all things connected with President TRUMP’S Vic-tree. General Flynn was first. Bill O’Reilly was next. Fox News and Sean Hannity are now in their cross hairs. Yet no one has the balls to tell these ass clowns to gofuck themselves…

IIRC Glen Beck so much as said so, after O’Reilly resigned, that Hannity was next.

Rush said something the other day that probably makes as much sense as anything. He hinted that Murdoch’s kids are looking to make new in-roads, somewhere possibly in Europe or some such place. Then insinuated that FOX’s reputation needed to be cleaned up (moved left) in order, for these more lucrative deals to go through…

FOX has collapsed since O'Reilly left and they don't GAF. So Hey if that's the case screw em' Maybe everyone else needs to start another News Channel. Conservative to the max…News, Movies, Opinions, and some NRA Shows, maybe a NASCAR race on Sunday…

I’d run out for a box of DEPENDS and wouldn’t leave the RECLINER…

6 or 8 weeks ago someone told me Roger Ailes was preparing to stand up his own conservative network that would be ready sometime next year.I don't know whether it was true or not, and if true, how his death affected that plan.
Mark Levin's CRTV has been running the last year and a half and from all appearances successfully but it's not traditional TV.

How convenient

Another false headline.

He is not THEE Asst. US Attorney.

He is AN Asst. US Attorney, one of perhaps hundreds.

If he was in charge of The Office he would be OuT of a job . Trump has asked them all to resign

2 D.C. hospitals shut down questions about Seth Rich murder
'I am not permitted to reveal any information'
Published: 3 hours ago

WASHINGTON – Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was likely treated at one
of two hospitals near the Washington, D.C., intersection where police
found him shot in the back in July 2016, but those hospitals are
refusing to answer any of WND’s questions about the unsolved crime.

WND contacted MedStar Washington Hospital Center and Howard
University Hospital – two hospitals located within a one- to two-mile
radius of the 2100 block of Flagler Place NW, where Rich was shot in the
early hours of July 10, 2016. Howard University Hospital is three
blocks east of the shooting site, and MedStar Washington Hospital Center
is less than two miles to the north.

When WND sought an interview with hospital officials and a media
representatives of MedStar Washington Hospital Center, administrators
refused to answer questions and instead summoned security guards. WND
also called and emailed both hospitals.

MedStar Washington Hospital Center


MedStar’s director of media relations, So Young Pak, would not
confirm whether Rich was treated at the hospital. Pak also said the
hospital cannot release information about any patient and cited the
federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996,
also known as HIPAA.

“I am not permitted to reveal any information about any patient of
this hospital, whether that patient is living or deceased,” Pak told
WND. “Journalists are not permitted in any hospital in the nation unless
escorted by a director of media relations.”

Pressed to merely confirm whether Rich was admitted and treated at
MedStar, Pak said, “All information is subject to federal privacy laws,
and thus we cannot respond to the question.”

Howard University Hospital also declined to respond to WND’s
multiple requests for confirmation that Rich was treated in
its facility.

Instead, Howard University spokesman Sholnn Freeman told WND by phone, “Um, I’m not prepared to answer this right now.”

When WND inquired about whether Freeman would have the information at
a later time, he simply replied, “You can follow up with me.”
Government watchdog group Judicial Watch confirmed that filing
Freedom of Information Act requests with the hospitals would be
unproductive, particularly when dealing with private medical facilities,
due to strict patient privacy regulations.
As WND reported,
Jack Burkman, the head of the Profiling Project investigative
team, filed a lawsuit Wednesday to push the Metropolitan Police
Department to release information in the Rich case, including the
medical examiner’s report, video footage of the shooting and ballistics
reports. In the past, the department has regularly released surveillance
video related to unsolved criminal investigations and often posts footage of persons of interest on its YouTube account. However, police have not released any footage related to the Rich murder case.

“MPD has released 12 videos in the last week alone, to include
unsolved murder investigations,” the Daily Caller’s Ted Goodman reported
Tuesday. “Their habit of transparency with unsolved cases raises the
question as to why they’ve been so tight-lipped about the Rich case.”

As WND reported, Rich was murdered in his affluent neighborhood in Washington. He was shot in the back multiple times with a handgun at 4:18 a.m. a block from his home,
and although the police reported it as a robbery, nothing was taken
from him. He was transported to an unidentified local hospital and was
pronounced dead at 5:57 a.m. On July 22, just 12 days after Rich’s death
and days before the Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia,
WikiLeaks released 20,000 emails from DNC officials.


A police report issued by the Metropolitan Police Department (full
report included at the end of this article) indicates that Rich was
“conscious and breathing” when law-enforcement authorities arrived on
the scene. However, the report doesn’t name the hospital where Rich was
treated or name the physician at the hospital who pronounced Rich dead.
The report states:

CIC reports the sound of gunshots at 2134 Flagler Pl. NW.
Upon arriving to the scene, the decedent was laying in the Southwest
corner of the intersection of W. St. and Flagler Pl. NW. The decedent
was conscious and breathing with apparent gunshot wound(s) to the back.
The decedent was transported to local area hospital and was pronounced
dead by attending physician at 0557 hours.

The Metropolitan Police Department and Washington, D.C., mayor’s
office maintain that Rich was killed during an attempted robbery, even
though the murderers left behind his wallet, credit cards and other
valuables.


One America News, a budding independent TV news company, reported
that Rich was alive and talking to police and EMTs before being
hospitalized, raising questions about what he may have been able to tell
them. If he told them it was a botched robbery, that evidence has not
been made public. Rich’s murder is one of 65 unsolved cases in D.C. from 2016. His
was the only murder last year in the quiet, well-to-do Bloomingdale
neighborhood. There have been a total of five homicides in Bloomingdale
since 2012, according to the Twitter feed DCHomicideCount.
Meanwhile, Americans have been hunting for clues and searching for
answers to a myriad of questions surrounding the unsolved murder. Rumors
and speculation are running wild in online chat rooms, social media and
websites. Some social media users have even speculated that Rich was
killed at a D.C. hospital.

Dr. Jack Sava, MD, MedStar Health


One America News reported that the attending physician who treated
Rich was Dr. Jack Sava, a donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, who
visited the White House six times before the day of Seth Rich’s murder.
Dr. Sava is in a relationship with Lisa Kountoupes, a lobbyist for the DNC in 2016 who reportedly visited the White House 23 times during that same time period. They both reportedly visited the East Wing, reserved for then-first lady Michelle Obama and her staff.

WND called Dr. Sava, one of 80 doctors who specialize surgery at MedStar Health,
multiple times to ask him if he operated on Rich. But WND was unable to
reach the physician, and his office has not returned messages.

WikiLeaks emails reveal Kountoupes co-hosted a Feb. 22, 2016, fundraiser with Tony and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 national campaign chairman. Kountoupes and Dr. Sava were also listed on a guest list attached to a Feb. 7, 2016, email to John Podesta. Kountoupes is listed among Clinton Foundation contributors in the $10,0001-$25,000 donation bracket. 

Ever hear of the HIPAA law? The hospital would be in deep do do if they released any info.I think most people know that.

So one of the attending physicians was a Hillary supporter. So what?

Numerous police officers also responded. My guess would be there was one or two Trump supporters present.

WND says it is a "quiet , well to do neighborhood."

The Neighbors
The Neighbors: Income
How wealthy a neighborhood is, from very wealthy, to middle income, to low income is very formative with regard to the personality and character of a neighborhood.
