Brennan: ‘I Wouldn’t Be Surprised’ if More Mueller Indictments Come on Friday (Breitbart)
Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” former CIA Director John Brennan, who is also an MSNBC contributor, said he “wouldn’t be surprised” if more indictments were to come out of the Department of Justice probe headed up by former FBI Director Robert Mueller on Friday.
Brennan, who caveated his remarks by noting he had not inside knowledge, observed the second anniversary of the probe was coming up, which could mean the end of the probe was near. He also pointed out that indictments tend to come on Fridays, and that he didn’t think Mueller would hand anything down on March 15, which is the next Friday. [Read More]
The Deep State Past and Present (National Review)
All great empires of the past created deep states.
The permanent bureaucracies and elite hangers-on adapted as imperial conditions dictated. Imperial Spain’s El Escorial outside Madrid, the courts of Renaissance Venice, and Byzantium’s Constantinople, or the thousands who lived at 18th-century Versailles, were all thronged with court functionaries. They were the embryos of nonstop dramas of intrigue and coups, and often immune to periodic changes even in autocratic heads of state. [Read More]
As a 21-year front line veteran Border Patrol agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council, I’d like to put to bed the false notion that there is no national emergency on the United States/Mexico border. I hope facts will do the trick.
Since November of 2013, I’ve been called upon to give expert Congressional testimony about various aspects of border security on 18 separate occasions. I’ve testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Committee on Natural Resources.

After customers sued Christian baker Jack Phillips all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court yet lost their attempt to force him to bake a cake to celebrate homosexuality, the state of Colorado wouldn’t let him go. The state’s unelected Colorado Civil Rights Commission strung him up again for declining to bake another cake.
This one was ostensibly to celebrate a transgender person’s coming-out party, but it could have been for any of the many lewd baking requests his Masterpiece Cake Shop received after his case became well-known. The entire case seemed like a setup to use government force to harass Phillips for being a Christian. Phillips’s pro bono attorneys at the nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom wrote this summary of the events [Read More]
Her colleagues are rushing to condemn her on the House floor this week, but Rep. Ilhan Omar has her backers among powerful progressive activist groups who say they don’t understand why Democratic leaders are going out of their way to cut down one of their own.
A draft resolution slated for a vote Wednesday doesn’t name Ms. Omar, but it condemns anti-Semitism as “hateful expressions of intolerance” and would come just days after the Minnesota congresswoman suggested other lawmakers show too much fealty to Israel. [Read More]
Churches offer ‘Ashes to Go’ for Ash Wednesday at bus, train stations in D.C. area (WJLA)
If you needed ashes for Ash Wednesday, many churches made it convenient to get it while still going about your normal day’s routine.
On what is a special religious day for Christians, many churches offered “Ashes to Go,” for example, at bus and train stations in the D.C. area, something that is becoming more and more common in today’s fast-paced culture of express delivery, instant meals and live-streaming TV. [Read More]
