“These are really bad facts if you believe in an impartial Department of Justice and FBI,” he said.

PBS Suspends ‘Tavis Smiley’ Following Sexual Misconduct Investigation
AND ANOTHER …
Variety is reporting that PBS has suspended late-night talk show “Tavis Smiley” amid misconduct allegations. This is the second PBS host in as many months to be accused of sexual misconduct. PBS cut ties with longtime host Charlie Rose in November over allegations he sexually harassed several women. According to Variety sources, the investigation found credible allegations that Smiley had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinates.
PBS has suspended late-night talk show “Tavis Smiley” amid misconduct allegations against its host and namesake.
“Effective today, PBS has indefinitely suspended distribution of ‘Tavis Smiley,’ produced by TS Media, an independent production company,” the public broadcaster said. “PBS engaged an outside law firm to conduct an investigation immediately after learning of troubling allegations regarding Mr. Smiley. This investigation included interviews with witnesses as well as with Mr. Smiley. The inquiry uncovered multiple, credible allegations of conduct that is inconsistent with the values and standards of PBS, and the totality of this information led to today’s decision.”
Sources close to the production told Variety that PBS hired attorney Sarah Taylor Wirtz of the firm MSK to oversee an investigation into Smiley’s behavior after receiving allegations of misconduct by Smiley, who hosts and produces the talk show. Wirtz declined Variety‘s request for comment. According to sources, MSK took reports from 10 witnesses, a mix of men and women of different races and employment levels in Smiley’s organization, most of them former staffers.
The investigation found credible allegations that Smiley had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinates, sources said. Some witnesses interviewed expressed concern that their employment status was linked to the status of a sexual relationship with Smiley. In general, witnesses described Smiley as creating a verbally abusive and threatening environment that went beyond what could be expected in a typical high-pressure work environment. Several expressed concerns about retaliation.
Tavis Smiley responds to allegations on Facebook:
On the eve of the 15th season and 3,000th episode of my nightly talk show, I was as shocked as anyone else by PBS’ announcement today. Variety knew before I did.
I have the utmost respect for women and celebrate the courage of those who have come forth to tell their truth. To be clear, I have never groped, coerced, or exposed myself inappropriately to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career, covering 6 networks over 30 years.
Never. Ever. Never.
PBS launched a so-called investigation of me without ever informing me. I learned of the investigation when former staffers started contacting me to share the uncomfortable experience of receiving a phone call from a stranger asking whether, I had ever done anything to make them uncomfortable, and if they could provide other names of persons to call. After 14 seasons, that’s how I learned of this inquiry, from the streets.
Only after being threatened with a lawsuit, did PBS investigators reluctantly agree to interview me for three hours.
If having a consensual relationship with a colleague years ago is the stuff that leads to this kind of public humiliation and personal destruction, heaven help us.
U.S Government Collects Record Taxes $443,715,000,000 Through November and Still Run $201.8B Deficit
HOW IS THIS FRIGGING POSSIBLE … WHEN ARE THESE DIRT BAG POLITICIANS GOING TO ADMIT WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM?
CNS News is reporting that the federal government collected record total tax revenues of $443,715,000,000 in the first two months of fiscal 2018 and still ran a deficit of $201,761,000,000 for those same two months. WTF!!! How is this possible? What the hell does Washington DC expect from We the People? The answer can’t be let’s just tax the piss out of the people and business even more. The fact is that because the economy is booming, more and more revenues will be coming into the government and they will still be under water. This is a pox on all of your Houses, Democrat, Republican and so-called Independent socialists. Enough is enough!
How is it that private sector businesses are doing more without these days through innovation, yet the federal government just keeps growing and growing? Why is it that families in the United States have to make ends meet and do without when they can’t afford things? But not the out of control federal government. This cannot continue to happen. There have got to be spending cuts in government. Pensions for government employees, other than military need to go. Every department needs to but their budgets by 30%, except military. Honestly, how did we get to this? Sadly, there will never be any tough changes because of the nature of dirty opposition politics. Because neither party, nor both together, is willing to do the right thing for the country. It now seems that both parties just want to collect more and more monies and redistribute it to others and in the process continue this out of control spending. The government has got too big and it is time to regulate government, not business or We the People.
The federal government collected record total tax revenues of $443,715,000,000 in the first two months of fiscal 2018 (Oct. 1, 2017 through the end of November), according to the Monthly Treasury Statement.
Despite these record tax revenues, the federal government still ran a deficit of $201,761,000,000 for those same two months.
That is because the government spent $645,476,000,000 in October and November.
The $443,715,000,000 that the federal government collected in taxes in the first two months of this fiscal year was $12,873,120,000 more in constant 2018 dollars than it collected in the first two months of fiscal 2017 and $11,352,180,000 more than it collected in the first two months of fiscal 2016.
Prior to this year, the $432,362,820,000 in total taxes (in constant 2018 dollars) that the federal government collected in the first two months of fiscal 2016 was the greatest amount of taxes the federal government had ever collected in the first two months of a fiscal year.

Democrat Doug Jones Defeats Republican Roy Moore in Alabama Special Election Senate Race
WHEN THE CARDS ARE ALL STACKED AGAINST YOU … THIS IS THE RESULT.
Fox News is reporting that Democrat Doug Jones has defeated Republican Roy Moore 49.9% to 48.4%. The onslaught from the liberal MSM, outside liberal money, a lack of support from establishment Republicans and the last minute accusations by women of alleged sexual assault more than 40 years ago was too much for any Republican, even in the deep South, to overcome. A deep RED state where Donald Trump won 63%-35% in 2016 … now finds itself with a liberal Democrat Senator. Nice job Mitch McConnell and the GOP.
As the liberal media cheers over their coup, I would ask the question, who thinks if the rolls were revered and last nights election was in say Massachusetts, New York, California, Vermont, Illinois or any other deep Blue Democrat states … would the Republican have won? I doubt it very much. By the way, Jones said he was a uniter, does that mean he is going to reach across the aisle and support Trump’s agenda? Let this be a reminder to the GOP in 2018, the Democrat party is snaky and not to be trusted. What they just did in Alabama, don’t let it happen in your state in 2018 or 2020. You have been warned.
Democrat Doug Jones has pulled off a major upset in Alabama by defeating Republican Roy Moore in Tuesday’s special election, becoming the first Democrat to win election to the Senate from the deeply conservative state in 25 years.
“We have come so far and the people of Alabama have spoken,” Jones said during a victory speech in Birmingham late Tuesday.
But in a late-night speech to supporters, Moore refused to concede. Moore told the crowd that when the “vote is this close…it’s not over.”
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent to Moore’s 48.4 percent.
Don’t let the liberal media, Democrats or even Senate-elect Doug Jones define the outcome of this special election that was unfortunately far more special and dirty than any election should ever be. The liberal and anti-Trump WAPO would have you believe that this was a referendum on President Trump and the GOP agenda. Really, Trump actually supported Luther Strange. ABC News would have you believe that the Democrat party is better off than the Republican party is in Alabama. Seriously?
Let’s cut through all the bullshit and call this for what it was … Doug Jones did not win the race, Roy Moore and Mitch McConnell lost it. In a special election where voter turnout was low, and especially low with Republicans who could not get beyond accusations were not proven facts, a Democrat won. Doug Jones’ liberal, far left policies are not representative of Alabama. Jones won because of the last minute sexual allegation from some 40 years ago and the MSM hammering that message hone every day. Even with that, with the LEFT, MSM, Democrats and establishment Republicans against him, Moore lost by just 1.5%. Fox News last called it at 10%, thanks guys.
Here is a prediction … Doug Jones will be a 2 year Senator as this seat is up for reelection in 2020. Jones is just filling out the remainder of Session’s term. In 2020 the Senate seat will go back to the GOP and the deep RED state of Alabama will have proper representation again. Jones is a pro-abortion, open borders advocate, even Mitch McConnell’s GOP can find a decent candidate between now and then to run and win.

Special U.S Senate Election Day in Alabama for Conservative Republican Roy Moore and Ultra-Liberal Democrat Doug Jones
MY ADVICE TO ALABAMA VOTERS IS, YOU CAN UNDO A MOORE VOTE IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY, YOU CAN’T UNDO VOTING FOR A LIBERAL, ANTI-TRUMP DEMOCRAT WHO WILL SIDE WITH THE RESISTANCE ALL OF THE TIME …
It is special election day in Alabama and all eyes are on the U.S. Senate race between Republican Roy Moore and liberal Democrat Doug Jones. The LEFT, the MSM, Democrats and establishment Republicans have thrown the kitchen sink at Roy Moore with allegations of sexual misconduct; even though many of those accusers have had their stories discredited. What ever the case may be, it is up to the voters of Alabama, not the liberal media, not the outside liberal Democrat PAC money, not people from other states, but those from Alabama to make their choice. As Lynyrd Skynyrd sings in Sweet Home Alabama, “Well, I hope Neil Young (replace with anyone not an Alabama voter) will remember, A southern man don’t need him around anyhow.” Its up to you Alabama, only you.
Is a state who voted for Donald trump and his agenda 63%-35% really going to vote for a member of the liberal, Democrat resistance?
At RCP, the polls show everything from a 9 point Moore win to a 10 point Jones win. How can this be? Some one is going to be really wrong. How on the same days of polling can you get results different by nearly 20%? Some believe the FOX News poll is skewed. Could that be? Could establishment Republicans be just as much in the tank as Democrats to sabotage Moore and the Trump agenda? What do you think?
The fact of the matter is, much of this reeks of dirty Democrat and establishment GOP politics. Why did the women come forward now? If they did not want Moore to win and they claim to be Trump voting Republicans, why didn’t they make these allegations prior to the special GOP primary election? This certainly isn’t Moore’s first rodeo. Why not prior to any of his other state elections? If this was so well known about Moore, certainly the establishment GOP opposition research could have known about this. Why would those making accusations have felt the need to lie so much and withhold key pieces of information like having accused 3 other pastors of sexual misconduct, forging the year book, etc.
I have no idea is Judge Roy Moore is accused of doing what others claim. I also don’t know if the female accusers are lying. Because that has never happened before, see Duke Lacrosse and University of Virginia fraternity false rape accusations. Knee jerk reactions are never good. Do the people of Alabama really believe the Democrat party cares about them? Do they really think that Doug Jones is going to be some bridge between the GOP and Democrats? C’mon man, you know better than that. If you want a Senator who will oppose Trump, then vote for Jones. If you want the Trump agenda, then vote for Moore. You have outs if the accusations are proved true. You have zero outs with Jones.
This has been politics at its worse. The polls are open Alabama, it now all up to you.
