Dems hysteria over Starbucks CEO Schultz is all about power, not political views – Tucker Carlson
Democratic outrage over Starbucks founder Howard Schultz’s presidential campaign shows they care only about power, not political agenda, Fox anchor Tucker Carlson said.
While Schulz’s political views are “indistinguishable” from those of establishment Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, his third-party campaign status is the only thing that matters, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in his latest remarks on Tuesday.
“What Democrats really want, what they’re not kidding about, at all, is political power… Poor, hapless Howard Schultz and his overfunded midlife crisis just got in their way. So, they have to crush him,” Carlson said.
Schultz, a billionaire responsible for putting a Starbucks in every strip-mall in America, quit the firm last year. The former coffee kingpin announced on Sunday that he is “seriously considering” a shot at the presidency in 2020, as an independent candidate.
Schultz was immediately lambasted by the liberal establishment and media. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg warned that Schultz would “just split the anti-Trump vote and end up re-electing the president,” while liberal think-tank head Neera Tanden announced that she would spearhead a Starbucks boycott.
Potential Democratic candidate Julian Castro appeared on television to plead with Schultz to pull out of contention.
“I have a concern that if he did run that essentially, it would provide Donald Trump with his best hope of getting re-elected,” Castro said. “I would suggest to Mr Schultz to truly think about the negative impact that that might make.”
Schultz’s positions are not the problem. Even as a self-described “independent centrist,” he does not stray too far from the Democratic orthodoxy. The billionaire candidate rejects universal healthcare and free college tuition, and has called the leftist progressive wing of the Democratic party “un-American.” Instead, he advocates fiscal responsibility, gun control, and moderate immigration reform.
“If you sincerely thought Barack Obama did a great job as president, you’d probably be perfectly happy with Howard Schultz at the helm,” Carlson continued. However, the party establishment don’t want to risk their only shot at unseating Trump.
Neither do some passionate Democratic voters. Schultz was heckled and jeered at his first public appearance as candidate in a Manhattan bookstore on Monday night.
“Don’t help elect Trump, you egotistical, billionaire a**hole,” the disgruntled Democrat shouted. “Go back to Davos with the other billionaire elite who think they know how to run the world.”
Carlson concluded that Schultz’s ‘liberal’ opponents are all eschewing the classic liberal concept of welcoming a third candidate in the hope that the best ideas win.
“You get the strong feeling they prefer to see just one candidate on the ballot,” he said. “That way they’d win every time. Voters couldn’t screw it up with their dumb opinions.”

Berlin Police Academy Rigging Exams For Migrants – Report
By Dan Lyman
The Berlin police academy is lowering standards for some new recruits in order to enable more migrants to join the force, according to German media.
An anonymous whistleblower identified as officer “Lee Roy” leveled the shocking claim in a recent interview.
https://www.bitchute.com/embed/fvDxgSY2OlRs/
“Of course it’s well known that the Berlin police are in need of personnel, and that’s why they’re trying to employ anyone at this time, and so they turn a blind eye,” says Roy.
“They want to raise the migrant quota working for the Berlin Police,” he asserts. “This is deliberately political, and so there is pressure from the top to the bottom.”
“And so they had to think about: how do we get more migrants into the agency when they can’t master the current tests? So they were given a memo with the answers on it, so they could pass the tests in any case.”
Roy claims that some applicants take pictures of the test questions and post them online or on WhatsApp.
He also says some recruits who fail the exams are allowed to take them over and over until they pass.
When asked to address the allegations, police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf expressed his frustration that “anonymous” whistleblowers are “putting accusations into the world” that are “very, very hard to rebut.”
He said concerned individuals such as Lee Roy should “explain these problems” to academy leadership – a move Roy believes would be the end of an officer’s career.
When asked about increasing the ‘migrant component’ of the police force, Neuendorf denied the existence of ‘quotas,’ but added that they do indeed employ migrants who can use their understanding of foreign languages and cultures to ‘defuse’ many incidents.
Neuendorf acknowledged that while exam takers are forbidden from bringing study aids or electronics into testing rooms, it is very possible that they might do so anyways.
“You’ll see the consequences of this in four or five years on the streets, of what’s happening right now,” Roy warns.

(THE FBI IS PART OF THE DEEP STATE) – UPDATE: CNN Hid Images and Video of Roger Stone’s 72-Year-Old Wife Being Dragged Out of Home Barefoot and In Nightgown
By Jim Hoft
On Friday the Mueller Special Counsel sent 20-29 armed FBI operatives in six vehicles and a CNN camera crew to film the arrest of Trump associate Roger Stone at his home in a predawn raid.
Roger Stone was arrested barefoot and in his shorts outside his apartment.
On Monday Roger Stone told Judge Napolitano in a FOX Nation interview that his 72-year-old wife was also forced to stand outside barefoot and in her nightgown.
For some strange reason this was not aired on CNN who had a camera crew at Stone’s home during the arrest.
The Gateway Pundit wrote CNN for comment — It would be completely irresponsible if they hid this from the American public.
UPDATE— The Gateway Pundit wrote several CNN executives for comment on this report and why they decided to hide this from the American public.
As of this writing we have not heard back from any of our requests.
We spoke with Roger Stone’s associate who told us Roger’s wife was brought out into the yard in her nightgown and barefoot during the raid.
This is police state tactics.
CNN did not report this.
They knew what the reaction would be.
Roger Stone: I was wearing a Roger Stone did nothing wrong T-Shirt. You can get those at 1776.shop. The proceeds go to my legal defense fund. I was wearing a pair of shorts but I was bare-footed. They said who else was in the house. I said my wife. They said, “Who else?” I said, “My wife. That’s it.” You sure? I said, “I’m positive plus two dogs and three cats.” I’m a dog lover. I’m an animal lover. You can read my activities on animal welfare on Daily Caller. I was afraid they would go upstairs and my wife was not complying with an order she cannot hear.
Judge Napolitano: Did they take your wife out of the house, Roger?
Roger Stone: They did. I was made to stand in the street, handcuffed and in bare feet. They brought my wife out in her nightgown and also in bare feet to stand next to me even though she’s not accused of any crime.
POLL: Should President Trump Pardon Roger Stone?
It works: Salvini’s border control policy reduces migrant arrivals by 95 percent
By EMMA R. 30 January 2019
Under the migration policy of Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, migrant arrivals in January 2019 are down by around 95 percent compared to January 2018.
–
Official data shows that 3,176 illegal immigrants arrived in Italy in January 2018 under the leadership of the Democratic Party which had told Italians they were actively working to reduce the number of landings and had reduced the number somewhat compared to 2017.
–
Much of the credit for the reduction of illegal migrant arrivals rests on the policy of Salvini who, last year, told migrant transport NGOs that they would not be welcome to dock in Italian ports and drop off migrants in what many referred to a “taxi service”.
–
“For the first time, returns are superior to arrivals”, Salvini said following the release of the new statistics. After closing the ports, Salvini and the Italian government have focused on increasing deportations and, as a result, have seen more deportations of radical Islamists than any other country in Europe in 2018.
–
While the number of migrants has been significantly reduced both in the Mediterranean and on the land border with Slovenia, the migrant transport NGO Sea Watch has continued attempts to land in Italy, with their vessel Sea Watch-3 currently off the coast of Syracuse with 47 migrants on board.
–
Last week, Salvini ordered Italian authorities to investigate the vessel and the NGO and demanded that the Dutch government take in the migrants due to the fact the ship had been flying under the flag of the Netherlands.
Illegal Busted for Selling Child Porn in Louisiana
By Peter D’Abrosca
An illegal alien in Houma, Louisiana was arrested and charged with multiple crimes related to child pornography, according to that state’s attorney general.
“Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry today announced the arrest of an illegal alien living in Houma on numerous counts of Internet crimes against children,” said a press release.
“Jose Juan Hernandez, 42, illegally living in Houma, was arrested on 1 count of Pornography Involving Juveniles Under the Age of Thirteen (Distribution) and 17 counts of Pornography Involving Juveniles Under the Age of Thirteen (Possession),” the release continued.
Hernandez has been booked into the Lafourche Parish Detention Center and ICE has placed a detainer on him.
Landry blasted the United States’ broken immigration system.
“Yet again, our office has arrested another illegal immigrant accused of exploiting children,” he said. “This man who should not be in our country has been picked up for possessing and distributing pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13.”
“Too many Louisiana families have become victims of crime because of our Southern border in name only,” he continued. “So I again urge the Congress to support President Trump, build the wall, and help us make our communities safer.”
Saturday, President Donald J. Trump made a deal with Democrats to reopen the federal government for a period of three weeks to continue negotiating for the wall, while federal government employees get paid. In the event that Congress will not fund the wall, he will likely declare a national emergency to get it done.
Stone Goes Off on Mueller, CNN, FBI in Breitbart News Interview Who Approved 5am Raid? Claims FBI Framed Shots for CNN ’This isn’t about me. It’s about the president.’
By Robert Kraychik
Roger Stone told Breitbart News that CNN coordinated with the “Mueller investigation” in producing “great footage” depicting him as “some sort of criminal” in order to “taint the jury pool.” He offered his remarks in a Tuesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Stone recalled last Friday’s events when he was arrested by FBI agents at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a CNN production team in tow.
LISTEN:
Stone said, “[FBI agents] walked me out in the middle of the street to make sure the CNN camera could get great footage of the whole thing. The street was sealed off, so how CNN had a camera right outside the door; that’s very hard to understand, because nobody else was allowed on the street.”
CNN denied being tipped off by sources within Robert Mueller’s team or the broader FBI, crediting “reporter’s instinct” with its decision to have a camera crew on-site during the pre-dawn raid of Stone’s home.
President Donald Trump tweeted about CNN’s presence at the scene of Stone’s arrest:
Stone continued, “They then took me to the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale where I was shackled, hand and foot, in heavy metal shackles, and put in a holding cell for three hours with three African-American gentlemen who, by the way, all support President Trump’s recent justice reform package, and I waited to go in front of a judge who released me on the bond that we’ve discussed.”
Stone went on, “So this was meant to do two things. One, to taint the jury pool, to paint a picture for the American people that I’m some sort of criminal, even though I’m charged with non-violent process crimes, and also to send a message to others.”
Stone added, “Reading the indictment, there are several people who are preparing to lie on behalf of the Mueller investigation and bear false witness against me. So they want to let them know that this will happen to them unless they say what they’re told to say.”
Last Friday, CNN’s Jake Tapper said of Stone’s possible imprisonment, “He might like it.”
Stone considered Tapper’s comment as innuendo-laden. He said, “Look, I’m a libertarian. I think people know that. I’m a long-time supporter of same-sex marriage, of the legalization of marijuana. I’m a libertarian conservative. I’m not a social conservative. People know that. My private life is my private life. I’m married and I have two children, five grandchildren, and our business is our business.”
Stone went on, “I don’t know what those implications are. I mean, Jake Tapper looks light in the loafers to me. I don’t know what implication he’s making about me, but I think most people found the whole thing repugnant. Yeah, I like to dress well. I have a fashion site; Stone on Style. You can go there, now. I’ve written books. ‘Stone’s Rules for Men’s Style.’ I’ve been the men’s style correspondent for the Daily Caller and I still am. What’s the implication there?”
Stone described harassment and threats directed at him and his family.
“The hatred, the death threats, the threats against my children, the threats to disfigure my wife,” said Stone. “I’ve had people call the house and say, ‘We know where your children go to school,’ and hang up. The left is sick in this country. They are mentally ill.”
Stone stated, “For two years, now, I’ve been unable to go out in public to a restaurant or through an airport without ugliness and people threatening to kill me and people saying, ‘You’re a Russian spy.’”
Stone described the financial burden of combating the Mueller-led operation’s charges against him.
“It’s destroyed my consulting business,” explained Stone. “I lost my health and life insurance in December, because I could no longer pay the premiums. I had to sell my car. I had a small fund set aside for the college education of my children which I had to liquidate, which had come from the proceeds of my books sales.”
Stone continued, “The internet censorship of my show on Infowars and my Facebook page where — I’ve written five books; two of them New York Times best sellers — strictly through Facebook promotion, because I understand targeting. I can no longer do that because I’m censored and shadowbanned on Facebook.”
Stone invited Breitbart News patrons to support his legal defense fund.
“I had to set up a legal defense fund: StoneDefenseFund.com,” said Stone. “Or you can go to WhoFramedRogerStone.com. They both go lead to the same place. That’s the only authorized place if you want to help me and my family.”
Stone pleaded, “I’m broke. I’m looking at $2 million in legal bills to try to not spend the rest of my life in prison on some kind of trumped up phony political charges because I supported Donald Trump for president, and because I helped bring down the most evil, corrupt, foul-mouthed, self-centered, short-tempered kleptocrat in American history: Hillary Rotten Clinton.”
Stone pondered FBI Director Chris Wray’s possible involvement in the FBI raid of his home.
“Obvious question: Did the FBI Director Christopher Wray approve this raid?” asked Stone. “And if so, why? There’s a question for the president. Who approved this? They have to have spent half a million dollars. Who approved this? Christopher Wray may be the president’s worst appointment. He’s a deep stater. He didn’t vote for Donald Trump. He doesn’t support Donald Trump. Why is this guy the FBI director? I don’t really get it.”
Stone went on, “Matthew Whitaker seems to me to be a good man. He’s got authority to act, right now. He has an out of control federal prosecutor who he could limit to Russian collusion based on previous legal decisions, but he doesn’t seem to do so.”
Stone concluded, “This isn’t about me. It’s about the president. They’re coming for him. Anybody who doesn’t see that is naive, and they want me out of the way because I will speak out against it. They want to silence me because I see the big picture.”
