Interesting, as soon as the Epstein story broke Bill Clinton immediately published a statement that he had never ridden on Epstein's jet. Yet the pilots log shows he had been a passenger 26 times. Epstein will make Harvey Weinstein seem like a boy scout. The hammer could be ready to fall on the rich, famous and politically powerful. Even Nancy Pelosi's daughter indicated this may happen (democrat or republican). Have some extra popcorn: anyone want some? ----------------- Oh, Donald Trump's name never showed up on the pilots log. Epstein had frequented Trumps Florida facility but when he found out Epstein had attempted to pick up a members teenage daughter he banned him from the facility. The Florida prosecuting attorney stated that Donald Trump was very helpful in the initial investigation. I add this because some in the media are trying to connect the President with Epstein. Like all of the other mud slinging no actual facts or proof exists. Maybe you should look a little closer. A picture is better than a thousand words. Either way, nobody really knows anything about this. That much is true. But, We've already seen the likes of the slime Trump calls friends.(Sebastian Gorka comes to mind.) Some of them are in jail right now. With what we've already seen out of Trump. How he lies at the drop of a hat. It's not a far stretch to believe he could have some connection, more than we know right now to this pedo. It remains to be seen. Jeffrey Epstein Was a ‘Terrific Guy,’ Donald Trump Once Said. Now He’s ‘Not a Fan.’ "WASHINGTON — It was supposed to be an exclusive party at Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump’s members-only club in Palm Beach, Fla. But other than the two dozen or so women flown in to provide the entertainment, the only guests were Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein". http://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/us/politics/trump-epstein.html How Exactly Is Alleged Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Connected to President Trump? "On Saturday, billionaire hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for alleged sex trafficking underage girls in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005. The Daily Beast first reported the new charges against Epstein, and according to the New York Times, the charges against Epstein carry a combined maximum sentence of up to 45 years in prison. But this isn't the first time Epstein has been faced with such accusations and, what's more, the entire scandal has numerous ties to one particular leader of the free world: President Donald Trump. Below, what you need to know about Epstein's alleged crimes and how they tie back to the current President of the United States". http://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a28320376/jeffrey-epstein-president-trump-connection/ Mueller Testimony Likely Delayed 1 Week: Reports "Robert Mueller’s highly anticipated congressional testimony has likely been delayed, Politico, The Hill, and CNN reported Friday, citing unnamed sources. As of Friday morning, the discussion over when Mueller would testify appeared to still be ongoing. Politico’s Jake Sherman called the situation “fluid.” Reached for comment, spokespeople for the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee would not confirm a change in the schedule". http://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/robert-mueller-hearing-delayed-143241065.html Dems, GOP trade blame over migrant conditions at border "WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats who’ve visited the southern border accused President Donald Trump of cruelty on Friday while Republicans said Democrats were playing politics but doing little to help as the parties clashed at a House hearing over who’s to blame for squalid conditions facing migrants detained entering the U.S". http://www.apnews.com/211e647eb3b94ccca7eaadbf3ef0a64c Trump is just as responsible for this than anyone. He took a bad situation and made it worse with his policies. As president, if you can't make a bad situation better, it's best to leave it alone and not make it worse. But between Trump and his racism and "knee jerk" reactions to things, we now have an even bigger problem. Even more, expense for the taxpayer to have to bare. Vice President Pence to visit border amid outcry over conditions at migrant detention centers "WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence will travel to the southern border Friday, the same day House Democrats are holding a hearing on dangerous conditions at overcrowded migrant detention centers. Pence tweeted Monday that he is going to McAllen, Texas, home to one of the federal detention centers contributing to what federal investigators have called a "ticking time bomb." Pence said he will be accompanied by his wife and a bipartisan delegation of members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. " http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/07/08/mike-pence-visit-mcallen-texas-amid-outcry-migrant-detention/1675520001/ Mike Pence says he'll bring TV cameras on tour of border facility as lawmakers voice alarm at conditions "WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence is vowing to bring cameras along on Friday when he visits a Border Patrol facility in Texas, which he described as "overwhelmed and overflowing". http://news.yahoo.com/mike-pence-says-apos-ll-142513581.html I'm waiting to see those pictures. I'm waiting to see if he will have the balls to show them to the public. I'm also waiting to see how honest and upfront with the Truth he is. No doctored pictures or no pictures at all. It makes you wonder how fast they cleaned up the one(s) he is going too. Set up especially for him and his camera crew. Hitler did the same thing. He sent out pictures that made the jews look like they were being taken care of and fed well. When all the time he was gassing and starving them. |

Rough total for Trump's July Fourth extravaganza: $5.4M
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s July Fourth extravaganza — featuring tanks, a military flyover, and a Trump speech at the Lincoln Memorial — cost an estimated $5.4 million, according to rough figures Thursday". http://www.apnews.com/9f6183e985d64171854416503a6faeff The Latest: Barr won’t recuse himself from NY Epstein case "Attorney General William Barr has consulted with Justice Department ethics officials and will not recuse himself from overseeing the case of billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein by federal prosecutors in New York. That’s according to a Justice Department official who spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday. The official could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. But the official says Barr is recused from any review of a 2008 plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges in Florida. That’s because Barr’s former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, had previously represented Epstein". http://apnews.com/878bdad339a749509b675d85c86f91df |

Sebastian Gorka at the center of Rose Garden ruckus following Trump event
"Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka accused a journalist of "threatening" him in the Rose Garden of the White House, moments after a President Donald Trump gave remarks on a controversial citizenship census question". http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/video/sebastian-gorka-gets-in-tiff-with-media-at-trump-event/vp-AAEc3uy In a 2007 video, Gorka declared his support for the Magyar Gárda (Hungarian Guard), a paramilitary group described by various sources as neo-fascist and anti-Semitic. In 2017 Gorka appeared on Fox News on the evening of the U.S. presidential inauguration wearing a badge, tunic, and ring of the Order of Vitéz. This has given rise to claims that Gorka himself is a Nazi sympathizer. The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, the National Jewish Democratic Council, and the Interfaith Alliance have called for Gorka's resignation over his ties to Hungarian far-right groups. There's no doubt in my mind that I should have millions and millions — I have millions of people, so many people I wouldn't believe it, but I know that we’ve been blocked,” Trump said. Ladies and Gentlemen here is your President of the United States. So, only news media that provides a Trump positive message will be allowed access to Trump going forward? Is this where the 1st Amendment becomes obsolete? We will only get news from a Trump sanctioned outlet? The founding fathers would be deeply concerned if they saw where our country is heading under Trump. Another one of those "best" that Trump has in his cabinet.

The 2020 front-runners are pulling away from the field
"The top tier of the Democratic presidential primary is now reshaped around five candidates. The latest fundraising numbers prove it. Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have raised about $100 million in the past three months combined.

Why Trump’s Census Play Is Blatantly Unconstitutional
"Trump already suffered one stinging defeat when the Supreme Court invalidated his effort to add a “citizenship question” to the 2020 census. Now he’s decided to try again, threatening to issue an executive order commanding the Census Bureau to add the question to its survey, and ordering the Justice Department to defend his action in ongoing legal proceedings". http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/07/11/trump-census-history-227353 |

Trump ends fight to include the citizenship question on census and unveils new plan
"President Trump officially dropped his controversial bid to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census on Thursday. Instead, he announced at a Rose Garden ceremony that he was issuing an executive order that instructs federal agencies to report data to the Commerce Department in order to better tabulate the number of U.S. citizens". http://news.yahoo.com/trump-ends-fight-to-include-citizenship-question-on-census-and-unveils-new-plan-232435216.html Thomas Hofeller of North Carolina played a role in getting a citizenship question added to the 2020 Census. Hofeller helped facilitate the question after arguing in a 2015 study that getting a citizenship question on the Census would be an essential step toward being able to draw districts based only on the population of voting-age citizens, not the total population. Such a switch, Hofeller wrote, “would be advantageous to Republicans". Busted: Evidence reveals effort to rig census for white Republicans "Asked on Tuesday if he thought he would be impeached, President Trump replied, “I can’t imagine the courts allowing it.” It was a bizarrely ignorant thing to say, since the courts have no say whatsoever when it comes to impeachment " http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/30/busted-evidence-reveals-effort-rig-census-white-republicans/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5477186a41df Documents expose political motivation behind census citizenship question "With the Supreme Court thought to be weeks away from ruling on whether a citizenship question can be included in the 2020 census, newly discovered documents suggest that the reason the Trump administration sought to add it in the first place was to provide political advantage to “Republicans and non-Hispanic Whites". http://news.yahoo.com/documents-expose-political-motivation-behind-census-citizenship-question-211855430.html |

For 2020 Democrats, it's all Roe, no Wade
"Is the decision to terminate a pregnancy an inalienable personal right? Or does the government and society have a compelling interest in the outcome? That question has been a political fault line in the U.S. in the 46 years since the Supreme Court decided that access to abortion was protected by the Constitution. The volume and urgency of the abortion debate have varied over those years but is now as high as it’s ever been. With Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh shifting the court to the right, the votes exist for an overturn of Roe v. Wade, which would effectively send the abortion question back to the states". http://news.yahoo.com/for-2020-democrats-its-all-roe-no-wade-090000790.html |

A pot high and a booze high are two totally different things. With booze, you get drunk and act like an idiot. This idea that pot kills brain cells, it's a myth. Booze, besides making you act like an idiot if you drink too much. It also damages your kidneys and bladder.
Since my last post on this thread, it's been a year or more since I started. The "old" me is back. My brain is actually working better since I started the pot. In all honesty, right after I smoke you may as well leave me be for a little while. Right after I smoke I'm addled for a little bit. But in a little while that goes away. And I'm up to going. What it is to the best of my limited knowledge, Pot effects certain receptors in the brain. For me, it's pain receptors. So, for about an hour I stay away from driving. The simplest way I know how to explain it, I know when I'm buzzing a little. So, I wait until that is over. But you take a person who is high on booze, he thinks he can do everything better when he's drunk. He's a menace on the road. The booze fogs the brain so badly that they don't realize what they are doing. They can't talk and make sense. Every day down in my shop I have to deal with people. I'm never foggy. I guess what I'm trying to say is, booze will take your life away from you. It will kill blood cells. It kills brain cells. It kills people. I do not know of one person who ever overdosed on the pot. If you use it like I do it's a Godsend. The thing about pot, If you try to push it too far, you're either going to pass out and sleep for the next 12 to 14 hours. Or you will get sick from the dizzy it brings on. But if you smoke it in a responsible manner, You may get a buzz for a little while, but that buzz will go away. For me, the buzz goes away in about an hour. And I'm mostly pain-free. And able to think much clearer than before.] Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn't Damage Brain "July 1, 2003 -- Long-term and even daily marijuana use doesn't appear to cause permanent brain damage, adding to evidence that it can be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diseases, say, researchers". http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20030701/heavy-marijuana-use-doesnt-damage-brain#1 |

How one freshman congresswoman plans to save the Affordable Care Act
"WASHINGTON — Nobody in Washington seems to like the Affordable Care Act. Republicans, who opposed it unanimously when it passed in 2009 and 2010, want to repeal it altogether, claiming it gives too much power to the federal government. Democrats argue the law doesn’t go far enough: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wants to replace the ACA with Medicare for All, which would get rid of private insurance entirely". http://news.yahoo.com/how-one-freshman-congresswoman-plans-to-save-the-affordable-care-act-090000857.html Guatemalan mother brings AOC to tears with account of harrowing conditions at border detention facilities "WASHINGTON — In powerful testimony before the House Oversight Committee that brought Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to tears, Yazmin Juárez described the conditions on the U.S. border with Mexico that led to the death of her 19-month-old daughter Mariee in May 2018". http://www.yahoo.com/news/guatemalan-mother-brings-aoc-to-tears-with-account-of-harrowing-conditions-at-border-detention-facilities-225607895.html Amy McGrath announces bid for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat "WASHINGTON (AP) — Amy McGrath, a Marine combat aviator who narrowly lost a House race to an incumbent Republican in Kentucky, has set her sights on an even more formidable target: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell". http://www.apnews.com/fd2f738e59974dad9ec227bd1d7ad132 "Crusty" McGrath has an interesting life. A very hard-working, Naval Academy Graduate and retired Marine pilot. She appears to be a disciplined person, who could likely mount an impressive campaign against the Senate Majority Leader. If I lived in Ky, she'd likely get my vote. She's very impressive. |

Trump to issue new executive order on healthcare and organ transplant; https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/trump-to-order-overhaul-of-organ-transplant-and-kidney-dialysis-systems/ar-AAE5dCo?li=BBnbfcL From the link you posted. "President Trump will order a broad overhaul of the nation’s organ transplant and kidney dialysis systems Wednesday in an executive order designed to prolong lives and save the government billions of dollars, according to people familiar with the plan. Trump will outline proposals to keep people with kidney disease off dialysis longer and make treatment less expensive; encourage more live donation of kidneys and livers, and force the 58 nonprofits that collect transplant organs to improve their performance, people briefed on the plan said. He also will try to reduce discards of less-than-perfect organs by transplant surgeons". In other words, Let more people die so Medicare/Medicaid doesn't have to pay for these sick people while they wait for a kidney donor. This is something I'm very familiar with. When someone needs dialysis, They need it. NOW. They can't wait. Waiting means dying. Doing this is not going to increase the number of donors. It just means more people will die waiting. If a doctor gives a patient a less than perfect donor, What's the point in operating on the person? Why give them a kidney that may decide to quit working? Sounds like another dump Trump idea to me. So if there are ways to slow down the disease and keep people from needing dialysis as soon, that is a bad thing? As for using a less than perfect transplant organ, you would prefer to do without and resort to dialysis while waiting for a perfect kidney that may never arrive? There is an ongoing shortage of transplant organs so you have a way to grow replacements? At my age, I'm sure mine aren't perfect but they do seem to work and might give someone a chance for a better life. I guess better to throw them away than use an imperfect part!! I did. It came straight from the link you posted. Words right out of Trump's mouth apparently. If a person has gotten to the point that they need dialysis, There is no slowing it down. If your kidneys have gotten to the point that they have dropped below a certain %, You need dialysis. They will not even put you on a machine until you reach that percentage. If Trump tries to change that percentage to an even lower number, A lot of people will die. If I remember right, once the kidneys hit around 20%, It's time for the machine. Too much fluid and poisons are starting to build up in the blood. Fluid and poisons that can kill you. Dialysis "You need dialysis when you develop end stage kidney failure --usually by the time you lose about 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function and have a GFR of <15. http://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/dialysisinfo Immigrants contribute most to these U.S. states http://news.yahoo.com/immigrants-contribute-most-u-states-230000770.html?.tsrc=jtc_news_index Here we go again. Once again Trump stands up for some slimeball. Most presidents with just a little common sense would be trying to distance himself from any part of this. Including the bigger slimeballs lawyer. It may not be surprising if it turns out when everything is out in the open; that Trump might have played a role in using his friendship status and maybe his own involvement as well helped in getting the sweet deal for Epstein during his trial. Then as Trump assailed himself to the illegitimate presidential status, he rewarded Acosta by making him Labor Secretary. It is ironic that one who couldn’t fully and honestly prosecute crime involving children and prostitution, in other wards; child labor is overseeing labor laws in this country. This can only happen in Trumpland. We will find out how that man’s friendship with Trump will dig out more dirt about Trump’s affairs with women in his past activities. Exposures of everything will make it clear and sensible why Acosta has that job. Donald Trump defends Acosta role in a plea deal involving accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein "WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump defended his embattled Labor Secretary Alex Acosta Tuesday after Democratic lawmakers urged his resignation over a plea agreement negotiated with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein years ago when Acosta was U.S. attorney in Florida". http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/07/10/jeffrey-epstein-labor-secretary-alex-acosta-defends-role-plea-deal/1692807001/ Calls mount for Labor Sec. Acosta to resign over plea deal for alleged pedophile Epstein http://www.yahoo.com/news/calls-alex-acosta-resignation-jeffrey-epstein-plea-deal-160711696.html This is one of the sickest cases I have read. I am tired of affluenza. I have no problem with people working hard and becoming millionaires or billionaires in this country but they all need to abide by the same laws. |

U.S. Justice Department trying to quash Mueller team testimony -report
"WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - The Justice Department is trying to prevent two former members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team from testifying behind closed doors as Mueller prepares to make a public appearance before lawmakers next week, the New York Times reported on Wednesday". http://www.yahoo.com/news/u-justice-department-trying-quash-123519904.html "Mueller issued a report in April that found Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and that Republican President Donald Trump’s campaign team had had multiple contacts with Russian officials. But the report found insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Moscow. Show me where in here do you read "no collusion"? So Did we go from Trump trying to obstruct the Mueller investigation to OUR DOJ trying to obstruct Congress? Here he goes again. Let's poke the sleeping bear just a little bit more. This is another one of those things that wouldn't be going on if Trump wasn't in the office. UPDATE 1-Trump: sanctions on Iran 'will soon be increased, substantially' "WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump accused Iran on Wednesday of secretly enriching uranium for a long time and warned that U.S. sanctions will be increased soon, as the U.N. nuclear watchdog held an emergency meeting on Tehran's breach of a nuclear deal". http://www.reuters.com/article/mideast-iran-usa-trump/update-1-trump-sanctions-on-iran-will-soon-be-increased-substantially-idUSL2N24B0NV This is another one of those "small" things that show just badly the general public wants Trump gone. Trump takes to Twitter to support Home Depot: 'Fight for Bernie Marcus and Home Depot!' "President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday night in support of Home Depot after social media calls to boycott the home improvement retailer. Shoppers have been taking to Twitter and other social media platforms to call for the boycott following news that co-founder Bernie Marcus plans to back Trump's re-election bid". http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/07/09/home-depot-boycott-trump-tweets-support-co-founder-and-retailer/1689850001/ If FOX wishes to be "Republican", fine, be Republican. Either way, it's about time, past time for FOX to wake up and see the reality of Trump. See him for What he really is. Fox News Cuts Into Trump Speech To Deliver A Brutal Real-Time Fact Check "President Donald Trump’s favorite news network not only cut into his speech on Monday, but it also fact-checked him on live television. Trump on Monday attempted to tout his administration’s environmental record, but Fox News host Shepard Smith interrupted to say those policies have been “widely criticized by environmentalists and academics.” The Fox News host cited a New York Times report that found that more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed and/or rolled back, including multiple regulations regarding drilling, air pollution, and wildlife. Then Smith listed some of them". http://news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-fox-news-fact-check-041215307.html?.tsrc=jtc_news_index |

Top 10 Donors to the Trump Campaign (FB, WWE)
"Donald Trump doesn't want to be seen as anyone's puppet.

But that didn't stop supporters from donating millions to pro-Trump super PACs this last quarter.

What does Justin Amash's GOP defection mean?
"On July 4, Rep. Justin Amash announced he was leaving the Republican Party to run for reelection as an independent. In an op-ed on his decision, the Michigan congressman decried the two-party system as an "existential threat" to American principles, saying "modern politics is trapped in a partisan death spiral." Amash has repeatedly argued that President Trump's conduct is grounds for impeachment, something no other prominent Republican has done. Amash said high-level members of the party have privately thanked him for his stance. Trump responded to Amash's announcement by calling him one of the "dumbest & most disloyal" members of Congress. http://news.yahoo.com/what-does-justin-amashs-gop-defection-mean-191623967.html Exclusive: The true origins of the Seth Rich conspiracy theory.

Kamala Harris Proposes $100 Billion Plan to Close Racial Homeownership Gap
"Speaking at the 25th annual Essence Festival, Senator Kamala Harris announced her plan to close the racial homeownership gap that has historically prevented minority families from purchasing homes. Harris’s proposal would allocate $100 billion in downpayment and closing cost assistance to families living in historically red-lined communities, administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. That would be enough to help at least four million become homeowners". http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kamala-harris-close-racial-homeownership-gap-856142/ |
