On the morning after Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., broke a record for the longest filibuster in the history of the House of Representatives - an eight-hour defense of immigrants - a Baltimore amateur genealogist named Jennifer Mendelsohn sat in her home office and logged onto Ancestry.com to begin her own form of protest. "Let's see," she said, typing in the name of a Republican congressman whose anti-immigrant comments had been controversial.

The attention has given him a powerful platform -- but it has also made him the subject of smear campaigns and demonstrably false conspiracy theories. Either he has been "coached" by his father, a former FBI agent; or he is a "pawn" for anti-gun campaigners; or, the most far-fetched, he is not a victim but a "crisis actor," paid to travel to disaster sites to argue against stricter gun laws.
Willard "Mitt" Romney was able to capture the Republican nomination in 2012 in part bu running to the furthest right of the major candidates on immigration. He proudly accepted the endorsement of Donald J. Trump, the New York City real estate grifter and reality TV star who became a major figure in the Republican Party by popularizing a racist conspiracy theory about Barack Obama.
That's the name given to the work of liberal writer Jennifer Mendelsohn, who has spent a lot of time digging into the ancestry of those who have expressed support for reducing immigration. The purpose of such activity is to shame immigration hawks with the argument that their ancestors would not have been let into the country under President Trump's proposals.
The confident pronouncements by pundits and politicians that the Nunes memo is a dud, dead on arrival, neglect to consider the main tactic of the Republican right wing for some time now. It is a conspiracy theory, and conspiracy theories carried Trump to the White House and many Republicans into Congress or state legislatures.
Chuck Todd may have had a temporary lapse where he behaved like an actual journalist for once and quit with his typical "both siderist" nonsense we typically hear from him in regard to this dud of a "Nunes memo" that was released this Friday. Sadly, that didn't stop him from allowing two of the so-called "Freedom Caucus" members to come on his show later that same day and lie and spew conspiracy theories about what the memo supposedly said and about who paid for the Steele dossier that Republicans have been desperate to use to discredit the entire Mueller investigation.
Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, who is now running for US Senate, is distancing himself from a fringe publication that promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that he's given multiple interviews to. The Republican candidate said Thursday he does not support anti-Semitism and was not aware the American Free Press published anti-Semitic articles.
Maricopa County's controversial former sheriff who's now a GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate has given several interviews to a publication that traffics in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Joe Arpaio, whom President Trump pardoned last year after he was convicted of criminal contempt of court in connection with a federal civil-rights case, declined an opportunity Wednesday to distance himself from the extremist material.

"Since President Trump has failed to reach agreement with Congress-not once, but three times since September 30-to fully fund the federal government, Federal Aviation Administration aviation safety inspectors were off the job as of midnight last night. These PASS-represented employees-more than 4,000-are responsible for the oversight, certification and surveillance of the entire American aviation system, including all general aviation and commercial aircraft, pilots and flight instructors, and repair stations both in this country and abroad.
Disney's "The Last Jedi" opened with tremendous anticipation and a whopping 94 percent positive pre-release score on Rotten Tomatoes. Unfortunately, at the middle of the film's opening weekend, the audience score hovered around 57 percent and message boards and social media apps were abuzz with disappointment from many long time Star Wars fans.
North American Aerospace Defense Command had earlier launched fighter aircraft based in Texas and Louisiana to make visual contact with the single-engine plane that had failed to land in Texas after having taken off from Oklahoma City earlier in the day. "A Cirrus S22T left Wiley Post Airport in Oklahoma City this afternoon and the pilot filed a flight plan to Georgetown, Texas" the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
Two F-16 fighter jets intercepted a private plane that was flying in air space prohibited by President Trump's visit to Florida. A North American Aerospace Defense Command spokesman tells news outlets the fighter jets from Homestead Air Reserve Base were already patrolling the area near Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence on New Year's Eve when they were alerted that the plane violated airspace restrictions.
Ford's luxury line now offers - scratch that, includes as standard equipment - a "complimentary" membership in CLEAR , which is the Department of Homeland Security's "fast" and "efficient" biometric cattle tag program, already in use at public airports and other public-access venues. But not, it's worth a mention, at private-access airports - i.e., general aviation, where the Heimatsicherheitsdeinst does not fondle and grope, nor body scan travelers rich enough to avoid public air travel.
A Vanity Fair video suggesting former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "take up a new hobby in 2018" is garnering online criticism, with some Twitter users calling for the public to cancel their subscriptions to the popular magazine. The video, posted on Vanity Fair's Twitter account Saturday, is part of a series in which staffers on the magazine's politics and business publications, with a glass of wine in hand, give politicians six New Year's resolutions.
Those skeptical of the government's involvement in the recent report about alleged military research into UFOs are now developing new theories. The news last week was red meat for conspiracy theorists eager to search for a justification to take up arms against the "deep state."
