I am well aware all this stuff changes but this is the first time since I mentioned it that fox was at the top. So, glad to see it before I go OTH. about bias.

Thanks for pointing that out, appreciate the follow up so I could clear my head.
I will keep watching though.

FOX made it through the algo this time because they put TRUMP and SCANDAL in the headline

McCabe, Republican is 49 and retiring? Our tax dollars at work.
Usual path- college-->law degree--->swamp
http://freebeacon.com/issues/andrew-mccabes-pension-worth-1-8-million/

"McCabe took early retirement, which he was eligible for after serving at the bureau for over 20 years"

Career in Gov't. He was "forced" to work at real job outside the swamp for 2 years per the wiki. lol.
As though he could not stand working as a real lawyer?

"Because of a hiring freeze, McCabe spent three years in a private law practice before joining the FBI in 1996 in Philadelphia."

Wife a pediatrician (I guess not a busy one or liked her job either), democrat, runs for senate office, loses.

"giving him an annual pension of $55,230."

Wall Street Journal revealed his wife received over $600,000 for her failed Virginia state senate campaign from political groups tied to Terry McAuliffe, a long-standing ally of Hillary Clinton. McCabe oversaw the investigation into Clinton's misuse of classified information.

McCabe received the statement drafted by Comey exonerating Clinton months before she was ever interviewed for the investigation. He was also referenced in text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the anti-Trump FBI officials who discussed an "insurance policy" if Trump won the presidential election.

Perfect illustration of the Swamp. Never kept a real job, questionable ethics to the country gets to retire at what most other people would dream of

I hope you are wrong. Do you watch this search behavior? I am going to start now.

Another thing, I just went to c n n com, the site is soooo slow to load, the script even timed out. Worse than fox loading a bunch of crappy ad's and nonsense. Yet they remain at the top of search rank, yet I read in this SEO stuff that google penalizes slow loading sites- I suppose only "nobody" sites are scrutinized.

Just an algorithm. Bad Fox SEO.

The carousel changes to show most recent - Right now, Fox News insider is first for me on that query.

CNN, Washingtonpost and nytimes all have higher DA than foxnews = more link equity = higher rankings (generally). It's not Fox doing anything "bad", they just have better link profiles.

Actually, pages with a lot of ads do get “dinged” for it. Ad types which are defined as “intrusive” by the CBA (an industry group.) Fox’s home page might fall into that on some devices (search results are different for mobile and desktop) because ads look like they take up >30% of the initial screen for me on here. (Their article pages may be ok.)

It’s. An. Algorithm. You’re have a preconceived opinion and are cherry picking to confirm it without understanding how these things work. Don’t do that !

Why do you not think government jobs are “real jobs?” They’re as “real” as similar positions in the private sector.

I see nothing wrong with it. The bride the best looking person in the pic, as it should be

This might be the last time cops ever officially guess what happen

After she was released in the city of Huntington Beach, Vallejo police called the kidnapping a hoax and erroneously likened it to the book and movie "Gone Girl," in which a woman goes missing and then lies about being kidnapped when she reappears.

‘Curious’: Vanessa Trump hires a criminal defense attorney to handle her divorce from Donald Trump Jr.

Yes, interesting choice...

Also interesting timing that the divorce was filed right after her husband’s family business was subpoenaed...

I wonder if there will be a quick and amicable transfer of assets?

 

[johname]

It suppose to be an uncontested divorce. If Trump JR transfers practically all 'his' assets to his wife that would suggest he is try protect money.

If it is a pure pre-nup divorce that would be different

The weird thing is she could easily sail through three more years, then get a divorce, so the timing either ultra nutty or a legal dodge

Exactly, since word is they were living separate lives for a while. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

I guess the criminal defense lawyer could be a friend or relative, but odd choice for an uncontested divorce nonetheless.

McCabe fired. Just announced. Excellent News. Indict Hillary Next!!!!!!
Hope criminal charges and no federal pensions for all the leakers.


Same day $21 Trillion in debt USA. Drain more of the swamp, cut the pension liabilities.
Privatize TSA again, defund California Fed Fund and other non compliant states with Sanctuary states.

In 2024, maybe Trump will have managed to anger every Liberal institution in the bloated wasteful bureaucratic system.

They Fired the FBI guy

Just announced. Great News. Maybe other heads will roll.

 

[offthehandle]

This will help probably clean out the rest of the gang of Hillarys protection team, and hopefully expose the lack of charges and investigation into Obama’s attempted Sabotage of President Trump’s smooth transition into office. Charge Comey and others if they can determine this entire undermining and politicizing of the FBI.

 

[JB Lions]

Shameful. Serve for 22 years. Trump corruption just doesn't stop. But his time his coming. Plus, McCabe will eventually get his pension anyway.

McCabe responds:

"This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said. "It is part of this Administration's ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel's work."

------------------------------
Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago


This tweet is now evidence in an ongoing federal criminal investigation into Obstruction and Witness Tampering.
McCabe's firing will haunt Mr. Trump just as Comey's firing did, and will eventually help unmask Trump as the unrepentant, risible criminal he is and always has been. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/974859881827258369 …

There’s this thing in the military called “unlawful command influence.” That’s when commanders attempt to interfere with legal action or investigations undertaken by a subordinate agency.

Does this sound like a Democrat shill?

"The Wall Street Journal published on October 20, 2016 an account of Justice Department and FBI internal deliberations regarding an investigation of the Clinton Foundation that began in 2015. Four FBI field offices — New York, Los Angeles, Washington and Little Rock — were pursuing the investigation, with some field agents advocating that it be aggressively continued, while some supervisors and prosecutors believed there was insufficient evidence and that the investigation was too expansive. In July 2016, McCabe decided that the New York FBI office would continue investigating, with assistance from Little Rock. The Journal reported that a senior Justice Department official called McCabe to express his disagreement with this decision, with McCabe reportedly asking, "Are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?," to which the unnamed official replied, “Of course not.

Hands down, the dumbest President we've ever had.

Huge Swamp Monster cleanup. It could be beginning tonight.

Shameful to destroy your career for Hillary.
Shameful to get $55k a year Govt retirement at only 49.
Shameful to be a top official AND be a leaker and political operative to sabotage the president.
Shameful to lie under oath and cover up for Comey the leaker and his political games and Hillaries email server investigation in cahoots with other soon to be exposed leakers and Swamp rats.
Shameful to be put on leave in January now several months collecting checks at tax payer expense I suppose riding his bike around.
Shameful to be ethically challenged and mixed up in his wife’s democratic campaign Financed with donor money from the Clinton cronies and he purposely ignores the email server investigation.

Can’t wait to see the Inspector Generals report.
They may need more than a shovel to get rid of the crud, probably a dredge.

He will sue. He politicizes his firing (which only makes him look political) and violation of internal affairs and ignorantly sends the press that rant accuses the President like everyone. Takes no personal responsibility for his actions as usual. Like all loyal swamp gov’t employees. He should keep his mouth shut.

JBL, Why don’t you become a donor?, I hear they started a collection plate. I am sure Hillary will send him a check though.

Maybe his wife might actually need to work as a Pediatrician now.

You obviously didn't read my last post. I even put it in bold for you. I think you continue to use bad sources, that's why you continue to make uninformed posts. And what's wrong with working for the government and retiring early? You know people in the military do that all the time, you have a problem with that? And it's funny reading you complaining about the swamp, forgetting Trump's cabinet has been fleecing America.
