The trove further confirms that US leaders knewvast amounts of money was being wasted in a futile attempt to "Westernize the nation". Watchdog groups commonly estimate total US spending on the war has hit $1 trillion by end of 2019. More importantly, America's 'endless war' has cost at least 2,351 American lives and over 20,000 wounded. “What did we get for this $1tn effort? Was it worth $1 trillion?” one retired Navy SEAL who had advised the Bush and Obama administrations observed in one of the documents. “After the killing of Osama bin Laden, I said that Osama was probably laughing in his watery grave considering how much we have spent on Afghanistan.”

A video tour of the damning new 'Afghanistan Papers' revelations and their significance:
Democrats are consulting with Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Tribe, who has pushed for impeachment since before Donald Trump took office in 2016, as they prepare articles of impeachment.
The New York Times reported Saturday: “Laurence H. Tribe, the constitutional law professor at Harvard, planned to travel to Washington on Saturday to discuss impeachment with Democratic members, kept in town over the weekend for two lengthy prep sessions.”
The clip features kids from Bewsey Lodge Primary School imagining themselves in the role of Prince Henry, who wants to profess his love for and gay marry his man servant ‘Thomas’. “This school teaches children about LGBT relationships from an early age,” explains the BBC, “This class of 6 year olds is learning about gay marriage…all ages take part in LGBT lessons.”

The Justice Department Inspector General report released Monday vindicated long-held Republican concerns over Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuse when it came to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s surveillance of a member of the Trump campaign.
House Intelligence Committee Republicans released their findings of potential abuses in a February 2019 report that found a “troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process.”
Chesa Boudin, a one-time deputy public defender who has never tried a case, was elected in a close race, and will assume office in January. Before he had a chance to decide if the new drapes in his office were going to be socialist red or blue state blue, Boudin announced that he would not prosecute quality-of-life crimes such as “public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc.” We assume public defecating on streets and sidewalks, today’s San Francisco “treat,” will also go unprosecuted.
Then the Connecticut State Legislature abolished the death penalty – but for future cases.
Then in August 2015, in a final blow to the husband of the woman killed and the father of the young girls killed, the Connecticut Supreme Court defied the State Legislature and ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional, then commuted all death sentences to life-in-prison, even if that sentencing took place prior to the date that the death penalty was abolished.
Now is where it gets mind-blowing. Taxpayers are now on the hook to not only cover the costs of Stephen Hayes’ incarceration (6 life sentences), but they are also footing the bill for Hayes to move forward with his newfound desire to transition into a woman. One of the men convicted of killing a woman and her two daughters in the 2007 Cheshire home invasion Hayes allegedly has only recently realized he is transgender and is undergoing hormone therapy in prison.
The ongoing, rolling fact is – “green energy”…is neither green nor energy.
“Green energy” sources – are all demonstrably worse for the environment than the traditional energy sources (like coal and oil) they seek to replace.
Wind farms – are bird blender fields. And the turbines – are uber-toxic.
So too are solar panels unnatural environmental disasters.
And the alleged energy produced by “green energy” – is a tiny fraction of the energy produced by traditional sources. So the respective costs-per-kilowatt-hour – are ridiculously inefficient.
Wind Turbine Costs More than It Saves
Solar Uses More Energy to Manufacture Than It Produces
Which is where the government money enters the picture.
Canada Loses 71,000 Jobs After Trudeau And Liberals Reelected | The Daily Caller:
The Canadian economy lost over 71,000 jobs in November — the worst decline in a decade.
The news from Statistics Canada was released Friday, just as the House of Commons resumed sitting after October’s federal election. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau barely retained power with a minority government that is largely dependent on the socialist New Democratic Party voting with Trudeau’s Liberals on key legislation.
Venice Flooding Caused by Gas Stoves? | National Review "Venice suffered some historic floods in November, and we all know what the cause is: not its proximity to this strange, heaving body of liquid some call “the sea,” or the fact that Venice admits “the sea” into its city limits with a series of picturesque canals, or the fact that the entire city rests on logs and has sunk a bit over the years.
No, it’s your gas stove.
Also your shower.
And your hamburger.
The solution? Stop letting women control the temperature in the house. It’s the only logical conclusion, but we need to set this up..." Read all!

Democrats Used Deceptively Edited Video of Trump in Judiciary Committee Impeachment Hearing | Breitbart:
Democrats used a deceptively edited video of President Donald Trump in Wednesday’s first House Judiciary Committee hearing on impeachment, using “experts” in constitutional law to claim, falsely, that he believes he has absolute power.
As Breitbart News White House Correspondent Charlie Spiering pointed out Friday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) misquoted Trump when she made the case for articles of impeachment on Thursday morning.
