AND I HAVE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT REP. SCOTT PERRY (R) HAS ROCKS IN HIS HEAD

GOP congressman claims ISIS is responsible for Vegas shooting — and they infiltrated ‘through the southern border’

In a Thursday night interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania claimed he has “evidence” that suggests the Islamic State is responsible for the deadly shooting in Las Vegas last October.

“I smell a rat like a lot of Americans do,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) told Carlson.

“Recently, I have been made aware of what I believe to be credible evidence, credible information regarding potential terrorist infiltration through the southern border regarding this incident,” the congressman told the Fox News host.

President’s lawyer jumps into racial controversy by forwarding inflammatory email

 

President Trump’s lawyer on Wednesday fanned an already-incendiary racial debate by forwarding an email advocating protection of some Confederate monuments and claiming that the protest group Black Lives Matter had been infiltrated by terrorists.

THE FUNNY STUFF:

Trump’s lawyer John Dowd told The Washington Post he “shares a lot of things with people” and said it was unfair to equate forwarding an email with espousing its contents.

Dowd stressed he was a history buff who has studied Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose role in the Civil War is memorialized by statues around the nation.

YES, WE KNOW. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

U.S. Energy Secretary Duped Into Fake Interview With Russian Comedians

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry optimistically discussed expanding American coal exports to Ukraine and other energy matters during a lengthy phone call this month with a Russian prankster who Perry thought was Ukraine’s prime minister.

Perry actually was talking with comedians known in Russia for targeting celebrities and politicians with audacious stunts, Energy Department spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes said in a written statement.

PRIVILEGED PECKERHEAD PENCE

It is the greatest privilege of my life to serve as vice president. The president is keeping his word to the American people.

-MP

OTHER GREAT MOMENTS IN THIS PECKERHEAD'S CAREER:

During Pence's term in office, the Republican-controlled Indiana General Assembly "repeatedly tried to roll back renewable energy standards and successfully ended Indiana's energy efficiency efforts.

In 2014, over the opposition of Indiana school organizations, Pence signed a bill which allows firearms to be kept in vehicles on school property.

Beginning in December 2014, there was an HIV outbreak in Southern Indiana. In 2011, Planned Parenthood ran five rural clinics in Indiana. They tested for HIV and offered prevention, intervention and counseling for better health. The one in Scott County performed no abortions. The Republican-controlled legislature and Pence defunded Planned Parenthood.

As governor, Pence routinely used a personal AOL email account to conduct official business, according to public records. In 2016, Hackers compromised the account and used it to send fraudulent emails in an attempt to obtain money from Pence's contacts. Cybersecurity experts and government transparency advocates were surprised by Pence's use of a personal email account to conduct public business, given Pence's past attacks on Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while U.S. secretary of state.

Pence has said that homosexuals should not serve in the military, saying, "Homosexuality is incompatible with military service because the presence of homosexuals in the ranks weakens unit cohesion."

Pence "does not accept the scientific consensus that human activity is the primary driver of climate change." In 2001, Pence wrote in an op-ed that "global warming is a myth," saying that "the earth is actually cooler today than it was about 50 years ago.

During 2014, Pence sent a letter to United States Attorney General Eric Holder, saying that Indiana would not comply with federal prison rape elimination standards because they were "too expensive."

BLOCKHEAD CONGRESSMAN IN FOR A SURPRISE

CNN Anchor Completely Dumbfounded When Republican Congressman Tries to Make Comey Testimony About Hillary

 

BLOCKHEAD:

 

CNN host Alisyn Camerota found herself utterly baffled on Wednesday when Rep. Francis Rooney (R-FL) told her that the real story about former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony involved former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Despite the fact that Comey is widely expected to testify on Thursday about his interactions with President Donald Trump, Rooney insisted that the big news coming out of Comey’s big day on Capitol Hill will revolve around Lynch’s meeting with former President Bill Clinton last summer while his wife was still under investigation by the FBI for using a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

“I hope they get into Hillary Clinton and the whole thing about Loretta Lynch meeting on the airplane, and all that,” he said. “That’s the big story here.”
