George Webb has been covering Awan brothers from the beginning

If you don't know about the rapidly unfolding story of how these foreign nationals had access to ‘All the Communication of the Foreign Affairs Committee,’ were paid millions by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, smashed hard drives, and one of them was just arrested and charged with bank fraud before trying to flee the country, you might be too reliant on the mainstream media because none of them are talking about it, except occasionally Fox News. But George Webb has been on their tail for nearly a year. Here's his latest video.

They're all in bed with each other at the Hamptons!

You'd think the division in the press and between the parties was greater than ever, wouldn't you? But it's all one party, and you ain't in it. Spotted at Lally's Washington Post fête: Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Stephen Spielberg, Charles Koch, George Soros ...

Happy 270th!

War is a Racket: Selected Quotes

[If you haven't read this short pamphlet by Major General Smedley Butler, you should get around to it sometime. What was true a hundred years ago is just as true today.]
WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives...

In the World War a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows...

Of course, for this loss, there would be a compensating profit – fortunes would be made. Millions and billions of dollars would be piled up. By a few. Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators. They would fare well.
