Carrie Underwood Just Got Devastating News 4 Days After Publicly RIPPING Trump

Carrie Underwood hasn't just been a chart-topping country star, she's always been one of conservative's

favorite songstresses with her American-loving lyrics and family values.

That all changed recently when she derailed off into anti-Trump territory, joining liberal

Hollywood in their constant attack on our president.

The star didn't hold back when she took her rant public about the president, pulling

out all the stops in attacking him on everything she could think to make fun of the Commander-in-Chief

who her fans assume she supported or at least respected until her liberal vomit came spewing

out.

It's one thing for liberal actors and rappers to use every public appearance as an opportunity

to display their hate for Trump and his administration.

That's expected of this disrespectful, Barack Obama-loving crowd.

However, it came as a nasty surprise when typically conservative-leaning country music

artists went this route, totally disengaging from their Trump-supporting fan base.

We saw this take place at the Country Music Awards show on Wednesday, November 8, hosted

by Underwood and fellow country music star Brad Paisley.

Both were warned about bringing politics into the awards show and didn't listen and suffered

from that poor decision almost immediately.

But four days later, Underwood got hit particularly hard with an unexpected and shocking dose

of karma.

It's going to take a while to recover from this devastating blow.

Country music fans who are typically conservative and support our president and appreciate what

he's done to make America great again, lost all respect for Underwood and Paisley after

they decided to turn against the fans and the president on stage at the CMAs.

With total disregard for who was watching and the CMA executives orders, hosts Brad

Paisley and Carrie Underwood suggested Trump's a cheater in a song performance and put on

skits poking fun of some things he's done in the public eye.

They clearly crossed the line and the show's instant ratings plummet proved it, but Underwood

just took a really hard fall that her former fans are calling "karma" for her nasty

anti-Trump antics.

Dearly reports:

Singer Carrie Underwood recently ended up in the hospital with a broken wrist, after

she took a spill down the front steps of her Nashville home.

The accident happened just days after hosting the Country Music Association Awards with

Brad Paisley, during which the pair performed a head-turning political twist on her hit

"Before He Cheats" (changing out "cheats" for "tweets").

The song was a dig at President Donald Trump, and some believe the joke came back to bite

her.

While Underwood attempted to thank her well-wishers on Facebook after her accident, some fans

skipped the "feel better" messages and took aim at her Trump jokes.

"Did not think that you would participate in disrespecting our president.

I was disappointed.

Hope you feel better though," one person responded to Underwood's post on Facebook

addressing the fall.

"Hey Carrie, keep politics out of music.

You really screwed the pooch this time!

No one asked you in the first place!

Of course, you could always run for president if you think you can handle it," another

former fan wrote on her post.

"Winning a contest for loudmouths would certainly qualify you for the DNC.

I will never buy your music again.

If I hear it on the radio, I'm changing the station," that same Facebook user added.

Another former fan used the post to give the singer some advice:

"Not a very good way to keep fans.

We have to many liberals who feed off these comments with all the fake news.

You should retract or stay with the people who don't respect the USA or it's leader."

Sharing that same overwhelming sentiment of disappointment, one fan commented, "Don't

know what you said but if you disrespected our president even if someone " just wrote

it for you to say" that is unAmerican and I can no longer respect/follow you.

I thought you were above all of that.

Very sad."

While we would never celebrate in someone's physical accident for any reason, the comments

on this post are what's Underwood's karma.

She's facing the music of what happens when you disrespect Trump and your fans who support

our president and once supported you.

It's disturbing that not a single awards show in the eight years Barack Obama was president

ruthlessly mocked him, as almost every one of them in the past 10 months of Trump's

presidency has.

There would be outrage for days if the tables were turned on this.

These country stars didn't listen to the warnings from their show association and didn't

care about those who pay to see them and support their career.

These singers are not different than the entitled players in the NFL.

They should have learned from the demise of the NFL for going down this same path an now

Underwood's career will likely suffer a similar price

for it.

Hah-Hah!

POTUS Trump Trolls Global Warming Zealots as Record Freezing Temps Grip US

The United States is gripped in a freeze as record chill temps ravage parts of the country.

President Trump trolled global warming zealots Thursday on Twitter and celebrated the fact

that we aren�t paying trillions of dollars to fight the hoax.

Please president Trump, keep tweeting!

Trump tweeted Thursday, �In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year�s Eve on record.

Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country,

but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against.

Bundle up!�

President Trump has accurately called Climate Change a hoax.

Climate Change is a global redistribution of wealth based on junk science.

The U.S. should NEVER have to answer to foreign bureaucrats; we are a sovereign nation.

Trump kept a campaign promise when he pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord which would

have robbed Americans of wealth and freedom.

The US is getting blasted with record freezing temps.

Forecasters are saying we may see record freezing temps in the Northeast for New Years Eve.

We sure could use some of that global warming!

News of the freeze dominated headlines on the Drudge Report.

BOMBSHELL From DNC… TRUMP Found It… WASSERMAN Heading To PRISON Next!!! - Duration: 24:36.

BOMBSHELL From DNC…

TRUMP Found It…

WASSERMAN Heading To PRISON Next!!!

In yet another bizarre twist, the tale of Imran Awan and his band of merry "Russian"

hackers from Pakistan just gets stranger and stranger.

The BBC is reporting the Russian hackers responsible for infecting the DNC systems used servers

directly linked to a company based in Pakistan.

According to the Daily Caller's Luke Rosiak –

"BBC says a server whose IP was hard-coded into the virus found on the DNC's server

traces to a company called Crookservers that is based in PAKISTAN, run by a guy named Usman

Ashraf."

The hacking team, originally claiming to be based in Oldham, England, was dubbed Fancy

Bear.

In June 2016, the DNC first stated that the Russian hacker groups Cozy Bear and Fancy

Bear had penetrated their campaign servers and leaked information via the Guccifer 2.0

online persona.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned as DNC chairwoman following WikiLeaks releases revealing significant

preference had been shown to Hillary Clinton, granting her the Democratic presidential nomination

despite the people's clear preference for Bernie Sanders.

These two hacker groups were the basis of the so-called "17 intelligence agencies"

that confirmed the basis for the so-called Russian collusion investigation into the Trump

campaign.It is interesting to note that the IP address in question 176.32.112.10 was notorious

long before the DNC hack/leak, as it was hard-coded into malware used in the 2015 Bundestag hack.

It was well known to all virus services as a result.

The question begs to be asked why did all the expensive resources and software used

by Crowdstrike to investigate this supposed "hack" not immediately pick up on a well-known

malware IP address?

Crowdstrike is the American cybersecurity technology company based in Sunnyvale, California

who claims to have identified both Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear.

Yet their software did not pick up on a known malware IP address.

See Bears in the Midst – Intrusion into the Democratic National Committee.

According to the BBC – When Russia's most notorious hackers hired

servers from a UK-registered company, they left a trove of clues behind, the BBC has

discovered.

The hackers used the computers to attack the German parliament, hijack traffic meant for

a Nigerian government website and target Apple devices.

[…]The group played a key role in 2016's attack on the US's Democratic National Committee

(DNC), according to security experts.

Indeed an internet protocol (IP) address that once belonged to a dedicated server hired

via Crookservers was discovered in malicious code used in the breach

But after a short period, the listing switched to Pakistan.

The BBC has seen no evidence the shop or its employees knew how the address was being used

or that Crookservers had any real connection to the newsagents.

[…]

The BBC identified Crookservers's operator as Usman Ashraf.

Ashraf claims he had no idea hackers were using the servers, except is that true?

As part of Wikileaks 'Vault 8' release in November, a series of documents were revealed

detailing how the CIA developed a code where the intelligence agency could impersonate

the Russian anti-virus giant known as Kaspersky Labs.

Naturally, the left-leaning mainstream media refuses to acknowledge or give credence to

WikiLeaks' findings and revelations.

President Donald Trump just recently signed into law a U.S. government ban on Kaspersky

Lab software.

That law prompted Kaspersky Labs to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration in

response.

In September, the US government gave federal agencies three months to remove Kaspersky's

security software, citing concerns over espionage.

It cited "the ties between certain Kaspersky officials and Russian intelligence and other

government agencies and requirements under Russian law that allow Russian intelligence

agencies to request or compel assistance from Kaspersky and to intercept communications

transiting Russian networks".

A summary of the hacking tool posted by WikiLeaks reveals –

Today, 9 November 2017, WikiLeaks publishes the source code and development logs to Hive,

a major component of the CIA infrastructure to control its malware.

Hive solves a critical problem for the malware operators at the CIA.

Even the most sophisticated malware implant on a target computer is useless if there is

no way for it to communicate with its operators in a secure manner that does not draw attention.

Using Hive even if an implant is discovered on a target computer, attributing it to the

CIA is difficult by just looking at the communication of the malware with other servers on the internet.

Hive provides a covert communications platform for a whole range of CIA malware to send exfiltrated

information to CIA servers and to receive new instructions from operators at the CIA.

The cover domain delivers 'innocent' content if somebody browses it by chance.

A visitor will not suspect that it is anything else but a normal website.

The only peculiarity is not visible to non-technical users – a HTTPS server option that is not

widely used: Optional Client Authentication.

But Hive uses the uncommon Optional Client Authentication so that the user browsing the

website is not required to authenticate – it is optional.

But implants talking to Hive do authenticate themselves and can therefore be detected by

the Blot server.

Traffic from implants is sent to an implant operator management gateway called Honeycomb

(see graphic above) while all other traffic go to a cover server that delivers the insuspicious

content for all other users.

Digital certificates for the authentication of implants are generated by the CIA impersonating

existing entities.

The three examples included in the source code build a fake certificate for the anti-virus

company Kaspersky Laboratory, Moscow pretending to be signed by Thawte Premium Server CA,

Cape Town.

In this way, if the target organization looks at the network traffic coming out of its network,

it is likely to misattribute the CIA exfiltration of data to uninvolved entities whose identities

have been impersonated.

Meanwhile, Kaspersky Lab has been producing anti-virus software for 20 years and boasts

400 million customers around the world.

After being suspected of involvement in cyber espionage, the company maintains it has been

"caught in the middle of a geopolitical fight" and is being "treated unfairly

even though the company has never helped, nor will help, any government in the world

with its cyberespionage or offensive cyber efforts."

Adding to the intrigue, the majority of the DNC emails delivered to Wikileaks are dated

AFTER Crowdstrike installed their software on May 5, 2016, and it appears all emails

were actually exfiltrated between May 23, 2016, and May 25, 2016.

The revelations from Wikileaks would lend credence to that explanation.

Many have suggested that Crowdstrike was not hired to find data breaches but instead hired

to clean up the mess left by Imran Awan and his group of IT analysts for Wasserman Schultz

office as well as many other past and current Democrats in the House of Representatives.

There have also been suggestions that there may be a connection between the FBI, Crowdstrike,

and GPS Fusion and this is all part of a much larger and more insidious picture to overthrow

the United States government while blaming it on the "Russians."

It would also explain current Attorney General Jeff Sessions decision to pursue espionage

charges against Julian Assange of Wikileaks earlier this year.

It also makes CIA Director Mike Pompeo's sudden change of opinion regarding Wikileaks

even more telling.

The former Republican congressman once applauded disclosures by WikiLeaks now refers to the

group as "a stateless hostile intelligence unit eager to do the bidding of Russia and

other American adversaries," likening the investigative group to the likes of radical

Islamic terror group, Hezbollah.

It seems the swamp is deep indeed.

BREAKING Trump Just CAPTURED Him Overnight – He's FINALLY In Custody!

This Is MASSIVE!

While the entire nation is focused on President Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort,

the Commander-in-Chief hasn't broken stride and rightfully so.

He's been quietly and diligently working at one massive mission he's secretly been

on outside the public eye and now an exceptionally key person is in custody.

It's fair to say that from here, things are about to get really bad for certain people

who have already been under a heaping dose of scrutiny.

Now, their secrets are second from coming out in interrogation as long-awaited justice

is finally within reach.

There have been some massive scandals in our country over the last couple of years, none

of which have Trump at the center of them despite what liberals would love to say.

Among the most devastating have left a number of people dead and had we not elected someone

like Trump as president, they may have been forgotten.

Hillary Clinton has been tied to a lot of sudden and suspicious deaths stemming from

what people knew and were insistent on exposing about her.

She abides by the philosophy that "dead men don't talk," which have spared her

a lot of criminal charges….until now.

There are those out there with blood on their hands who have done Hillary's dirty work

and now one of the most important people who had a key role in her biggest scandal is now

in custody.

CBS News reports:

U.S. officials say special operations forces have captured a key militant in the 2012 Benghazi

attack on a U.S. consulate that left four Americans dead, CBS News national security

correspondent David Martin confirms.

A U.S. official identified the suspect as Mustafa al-Imam, Martin reports.

The commandos captured the man in Libya just before midnight local time on Sunday and are

transporting him back to the U.S., officials told The Associated Press.

The suspect is in the custody of the Department of Justice and is expected to arrive within

the next two days on a military plane, according to one of the officials.

The officials said the mission was approved by President Donald Trump and done in coordination

with Libya's internationally recognized government.

The officials, who weren't authorized to speak publicly to the matter and demanded

anonymity, would not say where exactly he was captured.

The Sept. 2012 assault killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, U.S. State Department computer expert

Sean Smith and CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.

Had it not been for Trump in office, the victims of Benghazi would have had no chance justice

since Hillary would have swept the attack under the rug to protect herself and cover

her actions that led to this punishing attack.

"Stevens and Smith died in the burning diplomatic outpost despite efforts to rescue them.

Woods and Doherty died nearly eight hours later in a mortar attack on a nearby CIA complex,"

CBS added.

This is another step toward the damning answers that Hillary has been trying to hide from

as another of the terroristic killers was caught on the president's watch who has

made this investigation a priority.

"Earlier this month, another man accused in the attack, Abu Khattala, went on trial

in federal court in Washington.

Khattala has pleaded not guilty to the 18 charges against him, including the murder

of an internationally protected person, providing material support to terrorists and destroying

U.S. property while causing death, CBS News explained.

"The attack was the fodder of multiple congressional investigations to determine what went wrong

and whether the Obama administration misled the public on the details of the bloody assault."

Ahmed Abu Khattala

"Initial accounts provided by administration officials, notably former U.S. Ambassador

to the United Nations Susan Rice, said the attack had grown out of a protest against

an anti-Muslim internet film.

Later, the administration said it was a planned terrorist attack."

"A two-year investigation by a House Benghazi committee focused heavily on Clinton's role

and whether security at the compounds and the response to the attack was sufficient.

It was the Benghazi probe that revealed Clinton used a private email server for government

work, prompting an FBI investigation that proved to be an albatross in her presidential

campaign."

This comes at the start of a new week for Hillary who had a particularly rough weekend

when her crimes stacking up against her, particularly after she was suspected in the death of another

victim in the ever-increasing body count covered in her fingerprints

Information hounds have their paws deep in the dirt as they dig up ghosts of Hillary

Clinton's past and search for any and all evidence linking her to the death of a prominent

figure in American history.

Truth seekers look for evidence that could lead to her to indictment and incarceration,

but those who seek are coming up with mixed results.

The hottest trending controversial conspiracy slithers back into relevancy in the wake of

JFK's classified files being released, even though numerous items were redacted.

This theory plots Hillary Clinton against JFK Jr. and suggests that she's directly,

or indirectly, responsible for the plane crash that left JFK Jr. and two others dead, thus

paving the way for Clinton to win an easy seat in the Senate and further her career.

Look back to 1999 when numerous New York residents fancied JFK Jr. the front-runner in the Senate

election taking place in the year 2000.

A young charismatic man like his father, JFK Jr. would've had an easy victory over Hillary

Clinton if he had run for Senate in 2000, but any possibility of him entering into the

election was halted mid-air with the crash of the aircraft he was in.

A midnight flight and an unfortunate demise of a budding personality who could've carried

on the legacy of his father had it not been for that harrowing flight that ended it all.

Many sources say JFK Jr. was not 100% set on running for Senate, but if he did, it would've

been an overwhelming victory.

Sources like Your News Wire point to Hillary Clinton as the reason JFK Jr's plane exploded

and crashed.

The website suggests that Hillary had no intention of returning to Arkansas and her only goal

was to win a seat in the New York Senate, no matter what it took.

The source allows readers to believe, without truly saying so, that Hillary Clinton was

responsible for the murder of JFK Jr.

Based on the details of the event, in which it's believed that JFK Jr. was flying the

plane in the night time and he had called the radio tower for something, then randomly

exploded, one has to wonder what caused the explosion.

The website then discusses the possible events that suggest the Clinton's covered this

up very quickly by preparing a Navy funeral service, even though JFK Jr. did not serve

in the Navy.

This all happened after a search located JFK Jr. and his passenger's bodies in the water.

Whether that death is proven to be connected to the Clintons or not, there's no denying

the part that Hillary played in Benghazi.

Now, one of the terrorists doing the killing just might provide clues, but at least will

be held accountable in a way that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton would have never done.

China SLAMS Trump over North Korea crisis as relations CRUMBLE: 'NOT how presidents behave - Duration: 2:47.

North Korea crisis as relations CRUMBLE: 'NOT how presidents behave

CHINA has launched a furious retaliation at Donald Trump after he claimed it had been

caught "red handed" helping North Korea.

The US President hurled a scathing attack at the communist country on Twitter after

they were caught smuggling oil into the Hermit State.

Daily Star Online published pictures appearing to show Chinese boats lining up alongside

nuke-nut Kim Jong-un's vessels to transfer oil.

It was all caught on US spy satellites, happening behind the world's back and against United

Nations sanctions.

"Caught RED HANDED - very disappointed that China is allowing oil to go into North Korea,"

Trump wrote on Twitter.

"There will never be a friendly solution to the North Korea problem if this continues

to happen!"

The President later admitted he found out about the pictures through Fox News, which

has gone down badly with Beijing and delivered a big blow to US-China relations.

In a furious comeback, China's state-media accused Trump of "not behaving how a US

President should".

Global News said Trump's tweet was "met with mockery and criticism in China", adding

that the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied the claims it has been helping

North Korea.

It wrote: "Trump's tweet is one of the strongest responses from the US and South Korea.

He concluded that China was caught before the truth was clarified and commented in a

strong tone.

This is not how a US president should behave."

The state-run publication added, citing a local expert on North Korea: "I don't know

what's more absurd: That we are seeing the president of the world's most powerful country

conducting diplomatic negotiations on Twitter or that we know the US president is getting

information from fake news reports instead of the most powerful intelligence apparatus

in the world under his control."

The crumbling in US-China relations come after a whole year Trump has spent rallying to get

China's leader Xi Jinping on-side in tackling North Korea.

The Hermit State continues to boost its nuclear weapon capabilities while threatening to wipe

out the US in a "sea of fire".

BREAKING!!! No More Free Money - President Trump Cuts Off Millions in Military Aid to Pakistan - Duration: 4:50.

BREAKING!!!

No More Free Money - President Trump Cuts Off Millions in Military Aid to Pakistan

The Trump administration announced on Friday it will not be sending military aid totaling

$255 million to Pakistan.

The monetary aid was denied to the Pakistan government in response to its ineffective

action against terrorists and militants on its soil.

The Hindustan Times reported:

The Trump administration on Friday announced the United States will deny Pakistan military

aid amounting to $255 million as it expects Islamabad to take decisive action "against

terrorists and militants on its soil".

"The United States does not plan to spend the $255 million in FY 2016 in Foreign Military

Financing for Pakistan at this time," said a spokesperson of the President's National

Security Council in a statement to Hindustan Times.The President has made clear that the

United States expects Pakistan to take decisive action against terrorists and militants on

its soil, and that Pakistan's actions in support of the South Asia Strategy will ultimately

determine the trajectory of our relationship, including future security assistance.

"The Administration continues to review Pakistan's level of cooperation."

The statement reflected and sealed the administration's complete disillusionment with Pakistan, which

had sought to brazenly disregard the explicit warnings issued by President Donald Trump

personally and leading members of his cabinet, such as secretaries James Mattis and Rex Tillerson.

"This could be the severest blow dealt to Islamabad by this administration if it indeed

decided to withhold it," said a leading US expert on Pakistan, who did not want to

be identified.

"There is more coming," the expert added.

First reported by The New York Times, the move to withhold the money, which may not

be large but would have signaled US backing, is reported to have come shortly after Pakistan

refused to hand over to the Americans an operative of the Haqqani Network apprehended during

the rescue of an American-Canadian family in October.

The Haqqani Network is an affiliate of Afghan Taliban and works out of Pakistan, inflicting

massive casualties on US-led international coalition in Afghanistan.

Frustrated by Islamabad's reluctance to give them, the United States has tied large

portions of military aid payments to Pakistan to its actions aimed at debilitating the network.

Pakistan, however, has chosen to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in such payments over

2015 and 2016, instead of kicking out the terrorists.

And it has lost equity.

The Trump administration was clear from the start it wouldn't countenance continuity

in ties and aid without real changes.

"We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars at the same time they

are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting," President Donald Trump had said

unveiling his new South Asia strategy in August.

"But that will have to change, and that will change immediately."

But there was no marked change in Pakistan's behaviour, as was publicly attested by a top

US military commander, General John Nicholson, in November, three months after Trump's

unequivocal warning.

There have been signs, instead, of resolute defiance, such as the release of Lashkar-e-Taiba

founder Hafiz Saeed from house arrest, An outraged White House used unusually harsh

language and tone to demand his rearrest, with a warning that failure could have "repercussions"

for bilateral ties.

Saeed remains free, and Pakistani officials have sought to shift the blame for it on the

independence of the country's judiciary, when law enforcement and prosecution remain

with the executive branch.

And they sought to blame India for providing insufficient incriminating evidence — in

connection with the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks carried out by Saeed's Lashkar-e-Taiba.

There is a US bounty of $10 million for the man's arrest.

Denial of aid, many critics of Pakistan argue, will unlikely make an impact on Islamabad

and they have called for harsher measures.

Stripping Pakistan of the status of a non-NATO ally, for one, which could cost it military

aid in terms of money and equipment.

And, more punishing perhaps, would be to declare Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism, such

as Syria and North Korea, which could severely cripple Pakistan.

That's the impending "more" indicated by the South Asia expert.
