Well...that didn't take long




Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters Split 12 Days After Secretly Getting Married

When I fertilize my lawn it takes longer to turn green than they were married.




It's over between Pamela Anderson and A Star Is Born producer, Jon Peters.

The famed Baywatch actress officially called it quits with her husband, whom she married 12 days ago in a secret wedding ceremony in Malibu, Calif.

After news broke that the two decided to go their separate ways for a second time—they previously dated each other 30 years ago—Anderson explained part of the reason for their split.

"I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon and my union," she shared in a statement to E! News. "We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another."

"Life is a journey and love is a process," the statement continued. "With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process."

"Thank you for respecting our privacy," she said in her closing statement.

Terrorist leader in Yemen is killed in air strike after bragging to Trump about killing




Even through impeachment proceedings Trump finds the time to kill terrorists.

And the Democrats? They haven't done one damn thing because 100% of their time is devoted to sabotaging Trump!

-----------------------------





The United States carried out an airstrike in January that killed a leader of Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen after months of tracking him, according to current and former government officials. 

Qassim al-Rimi, 41, was killed in the January strike but officials had been waiting to confirm the information before making public statement, the New York Times reports. 

The Yemen branch, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, has been keen to attack the U.S. and Europe. Confirmation of al-Rimi's death would mean a significant blow for the group.

U.S. officials have taken the gentle approach when announcing the success of this particular drone strike as they have learned in the past that they were too-quick to do so for other CIA drone strikes. 

While military officials said they weren't aware of any other attacks, both the CIA and the National Security Council would not comment. 

In November, CIA personnel learned of al-Rimi's location from an informant. The government then started using surveillance drones to track him, according to an U.S. official who was briefed on the strike. 

Local news in Yemen reports that the strike killed two militant suspects in the area of Wadi Abedah in central Yemen, but did not identify who those people were. 

Al-Rimi is a veteran of the Queda training camps in Afghanistan and whose 'terrorist pedigree traces to the era before the September 11 attacks,' NYT reports. 

He then returned to Yemen and was sentenced to five years in prison there for plotting to kill the American ambassador there. 

Al-Rimi broke out of jail after only a year and quickly rose in the ranks of the Qaeda affiliate. 



A $5million reward for any information leading to his capture was offered by the State Department. It was late doubled to $10million as al-Rimi was linked to numerous plots against the U.S. 

In 2017, al-Rimi notably sent President Donald Trump an audio message taunting him for a Special Operations Forces raid on an al Qaeda compound in Yemen that led to the first military combat death under the Trump administration, CNN reports.

Another whopping lie




Schiff says Obama would have been impeached if he asked Russia to investigate Mitt Romney



Sure he would. So if Schiffless is telling the truth (something he's incapable of doing) and forgetting about Romney for a moment, how come Barry didn't get impeached over the myriad of scandals he was involved in. I won't get into the weeds touching on all of them but just imagine this. Trump calls the IRS and tells them to target liberal groups. Or at the very least, he knew full well what was going on at the IRS. The perpetrators who committed the crime plead the 5th and not one went to jail. Along with that think of the astronomical odds 7 computers simultaneously crashed at the IRS... its beyond comprehension! Then suddenly in Clintonesque fashion critical emails into the investigation are deleted. 


I can see Trump claiming on FOX news, "The first time I heard about the IRS scandal was when I heard it on the news." I'm sure Schiff would have said...case closed right?

Lead House impeachment manager Adam Schiff answers a question from Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz at the Senate trial of President Trump.

House manager Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Wednesday said former President Obamawould have been impeached if he had done what President Trump has been charged with in the first article of impeachment

Schiff was responding to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz’s argument that a president can’t be impeached for a quid pro quo if he believes it’s in the country’s interest.

Schiff called the defense’s example of Obama being caught on a hot mic in 2012 telling former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he would have more “flexibility” after his re-election a “poor analogy” and “whataboutism.”

“But let’s use that analogy and make it more comparable to today and see how you feel about this scenario,” Schiff told the Senate.

He suggested the hypothetical example of Obama telling Medvedev, “I know you don’t want me to send this money to Ukraine cause they’re fighting and killing your people. I want you to do me a favor though,” Schiff said, echoing wording in Trump’s July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which he allegedly asked him to investigate the Bidens.

“I want you to do an investigation of Mitt Romney and I want you to announce you found dirt on Mitt Romney,” Schiff continued with his hypothetical. “And if you’re willing to do that quid pro quo, I won’t give Ukraine the money to fight you on the front line. “

Schiff then asked senators if there is any question Obama would have been impeached for that kind of conduct.

“That’s the parallel here,” he said.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked in the hypothetical whether or not Obama would have had the authority to seek an investigation into Romney's son if he had evidence he was earning $1 million a year from a corrupt Russian company and Romney had acted to benefit that company.

Republicans have alleged former Vice President Joe Biden used his White House position to help his son, Hunter, while he served on the board of a Ukrainian oil company, but no evidence of wrongdoing has been found.

Schiff answered that “for a president to withhold military aid from an ally [or] to benefit an adversary to target their political opponent is wrong and corrupt. Period. End of story.”

He added that “rationalizing” that conduct is impeachable.

Earlier, Dershowitz argued that even if there was a quid pro quo by withholding $391 million in military aid to Ukraine it wouldn’t matter because “if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”

Perhaps Putin has been hanging with Khamenei a little too long







Supreme Ruler Putin? Kremlin Non-Committal on Proposed New Job Description


Trump accused of 'American Collusion' in the Russian election process.





MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin had no view on a proposal that would see his job description change to Supreme Ruler from head of state after a government commission said it was considering the idea.


The title change is one of an array of possible alterations to the Russian constitution put forward by members of a government commission set up after Putin earlier this month said he wanted to change the Russian basic law.


Putin, 67, proposed his own constitutional changes, which were widely seen as giving him scope to retain influence once his current presidential term expires in 2024, though he has said he does not favor the Soviet-era practice of having leaders for life who die in office.


The overhaul, which triggered a change in government, also cemented Putin's control of the transition process and was seen by some as an attempt to reduce intra-clan infighting between now and 2024, while allowing Putin to show he is responding to public discontent after years of belt-tightening.


The State Duma, the Russian lower house of parliament, has already given its backing to his reforms in a preliminary vote. The government commission is considering further possible changes.


"There are... some very curious proposals among those put forward. For instance, they proposed renaming the position of head of state to 'Supreme leader'," Pavel Krasheninnikov, the government commission's co-chair, told the Rossiiskaya Gazeta government newspaper.


When asked about the idea on Wednesday, the Kremlin was non-committal, calling it a "new initiative" and one of various proposals that may or may not be implemented.


"Right now all this is at the discussion stage," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "President Putin has no view on this."


Other proposals include formally recognizing Russia's status as a "victorious power" in World War Two and recognizing Orthodox Christianity as the country's main religion, the Kommersant newspaper reported.


"Naturally some (of the proposals) will be eliminated, some will be accepted and from this the commission's sought-after result will appear," Peskov told reporters.


Russia's TASS news agency said Vladimir Zhironovsky, leader of the nationalist pro-Kremlin LDPR party, had suggested the president be known as the Supreme Leader many times in order to move away from job titles derived from foreign languages.
