Tlaib frantically asked campaign for personal money, messages show, as ethics probes announced | Fox News
"The House Ethics Committee on Thursday released a trove of striking internal campaign communications sent in 2018 by Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, in which Tlaib urgently requested money from her congressional campaign to defray personal expenses -- and, a government watchdog said, possibly violated federal law in the process.
...Additionally, the Ethics Committee acknowledged for the first time on Thursday an investigation into Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings concerning a "personal relationship with an individual employed in his congressional office."
...In one April 2018 email offered as an exhibit by OCE, Tlaib wrote that she was "struggling financially right now" and was "sinking." 
She continued: "So I was thinking the campaign could loan me money, but Ryan said that the committee could actually pay me. I was thinking a one time payment of $5k."
..."With the loss of a second income to lean back on," she wrote. "I am requesting $2,000 per two weeks but not exceeding $12,000. 
...And, in a striking scene at the outset of a Rules Committee meeting last month, Hastings -- who himself was impeached and removed from the federal bench in 1989 for taking bribes -- outlined the alleged "high crimes and misdemeanors" that he said Trump had committed..."

Airport Revenues Soar After Allowing Travelers To Pay To Turn Off CNN

WORLD—Airports around the world are reporting record revenues after introducing a long-awaited feature: the ability to turn off CNN on television sets in their terminals.

For just one quarter, you can turn off CNN for a full fifteen minutes while you're waiting for your flight, leaving you with the "far superior" experience of just staring at a blank screen.

"At long last," said one man waiting for his flight at LaGuardia as he dropped a few dollars' worth of quarters into the "Turn CNN Off" slot. "Honestly, I might fly more now." He's not alone: airports expect a 426% uptick in traveling over the holidays as flyers no longer have to worry about having the droning words of CNN hosts pounded into their heads for hours on a layover..."

"A federal civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of some Detroit public school district students accuses the State of Michigan of denying them what it calls a right to be literate due to poor conditions at their schools. The complaint includes claims about teacher pay in the district that are not correct

The lawsuit claims: “To make up for the shortfall in instructional materials and other basic supplies, including books, pens, pencils, notepaper, and printer paper, teachers in all of Plaintiffs’ schools frequently pay out of their own pockets or privately raise money online. It is not uncommon for a teacher to spend more than a thousand dollars on school supplies in a single year, and some spend as much as $5000, roughly one-sixth of their annual salary.”

That would mean Detroit teachers make $30,000 a year. One-sixth of $30,000 is $5,000. The starting salary for a Detroit teacher was $35,683 in 2016-17, the year the lawsuit was filed. The average Detroit teacher salary was $57,997 in 2017-18.

Also, the state constitution, state laws and Michigan judges have required schools to pay for necessary items including “[p]encils, paper, crayons, scissors, glue sticks” and “[t]extbooks (regular or supplemental),” in the words of a Department of Education rule.

BBC Wakes Up to Sweden Bombing Epidemic Years After Breitbart

BBC Wakes Up to Sweden Bombing Epidemic Years After Breitbart:

The publicly-funded British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has woken up to Sweden’s bombing epidemic years after Breitbart News.
In an analysis article titled ‘Sweden’s 100 explosions this year: What’s going on?’, the BBC acknowledged the epidemic of gang crime, gun crime, and criminal use of explosives which Breitbart London has been reporting for years — while the mainstream media scoffed and continued to hail the country as a Scandinavial left-liberal paradise.

Pretty good summary - Here is a summary for those of you who care to know the REAL reason...

Mae B. Binnie - Here is a summary for those of you who care to...Mae B. Binnie
"Here is a summary for those of you who care to know the REAL reason why the House of Representatives are calling for impeachment of President Trump.

Hunter Biden is former Vice-President Joe Biden’s son. He is 45 years old with a long history of drug abuse. Hunter Biden was kicked out of the military in 2014 for testing positive for cocaine. Shortly after that he was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest private producer of gas.

Two weeks before he was appointed, his father the Vice President of the United States encouraged Ukrainian leaders to place him on their board. Hunter Biden has ZERO experience or knowledge in the gas industry or in the Ukraine. He was paid $50,000 a month for his position on the board and a money transfer of 3 MILLION dollars was made from the Ukraine through Latvia, Cyprus, and finally to the US into accounts owned by Hunter Biden.

The top prosecutor in the Ukraine was investigating corruption and was getting ready to interview Hunter Biden regarding his dealings with Burisma and the apparent money laundering of the 3 million dollars. Before hunter Biden could be interviewed Joe Biden leaned on the Ukrainian government and threatened to withhold over 250 MILLION in US foreign aid unless the prosecutor was fired. The prosecutor was fired. The investigation into hunter Biden and Burisma ended, the Ukraine got the financial aid.

Hunter Biden was also involved in a deal with China where his father the Vice President was working on US business. This deal netted Hunter Biden over 1.5 BILLION dollars! That story will bust wide open next. I mean what would cause China to hand over 1.5 BILLION dollars to a known drug addict who just happens to be the son of the Vice-President? Think that through America. It gets worse!!

The Vice-President Joe Biden took his son Hunter on Air Force Two with him to China in 2013. Ten DAYS after that trip, the Bank of China signed this deal with Hunter Biden’s company for over a 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS!! Some of this money went to a company called Henniges who makes very sensitive military equipment for the US military.

Wanna know who else was involved in the China deal as Hunter Biden’s Partners? You can’t make this stuff up people! While John Kerry was Secretary of State his stepson Chris Heinz and mob boss Whitey Bulger’s nephew Billy Bulger we’re partners in the company along with Hunter Biden. Wow right? The sons of the two most prominent decision makers in America!! How did that escape scrutiny!!

Amazing how the media isn’t even a tiny bit interested in this, and how as soon as it starts getting reported, they start impeachment proceedings against President Trump! They are hoping no one is paying attention, that the American people are too stupid, lazy, indifferent, and apathetic to pay attention. Don’t be one of those Americans. For goodness sake wake up and start actually thinking again instead of letting the media tell you what and when to be outraged about. Good grief what has happened to critical thinking?? Do most people even know they are merely pawns?

AND
I won’t even be a tiny bit surprised if Facebook removes this post so you might want to screen shot and/or share it quickly if you want to.

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Illinois) raised eyebrows when he defended the testimony of House Democrats' "witnesses" during the first day of public impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump on Wednesday, arguing that "hearsay can be much better evidence than direct."
What are the details?

Next Generation of Americans Will Embrace Socialism If We Lose ‘War on History’

Next Generation of Americans Will Embrace Socialism If We Lose ‘War on History’:

Sadly, that isn’t clear from the perspective of many young Americans.
The Victims of Communism poll demonstrates a disturbing combination of historical ignorance and a concomitant embrace of a radical, destructive ideology.
“We need to redouble our efforts to educate America’s youth about the history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today,” said Marion Smith, the executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

IG Complaint: 'Whistleblower' May Have Broken Law by 'Weaponizing' Leaking to Make Money | Breitbart:

A complaint recently filed with the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) reportedly alleges that the “whistleblower” who triggered the partisan impeachment inquiry may have broken federal law by indirectly soliciting money from mainly anonymous sources, potentially including foreigners, via a GoFundMe page.
The GoFundMe page in question has raised over $227,000 so far. In collaboration with impeachment whistleblower lawyers from the Compass Rose Legal Group, Whistleblower Aid helped start the GoFundMe page in question back in September.

Venice mayor declares disaster as city hit with 2nd-highest tide in history - National | Globalnews.ca

"Venice‘s mayor called the city a disaster zone on Wednesday after the second-highest tide ever recorded swept through it overnight, flooding its historic basilica and leaving many squares and alleyways deep under water.
...City officials said the tide peaked at 187 cm (6ft 2ins) at 10.50 p.m. on Tuesday, just short of the record 194 cm set in 1966.
...Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said the situation was dramatic. “We ask the government to help us. The cost will be high. This is the result of climate change,” he said on Twitter.
...A flood barrier was designed in 1984 to protect Venice from the kind of high tides that hit the city on Tuesday, but the multi-billion euro project, known as Mose, has been plagued by corruption scandals and is still not operative..."

DO PATIENTS GET A SAY IN THIS?

Instapundit Blog Archive DO PATIENTS GET A SAY IN THIS? 
"Google’s ‘Project Nightingale’ Gathers Personal Health Data on Millions of Americans.

"Don’t be silly. 
Of course patients don’t get a say.

Google began Project Nightingale in secret last year with St. Louis-based Ascension, the second-largest health system in the U.S., with the data sharing accelerating since summer, according to internal documents.

The data involved in the initiative encompasses lab results, doctor diagnoses and hospitalization records, among other categories, and amounts to a complete health history, including patient names and dates of birth.

Neither patients nor doctors have been notified. At least 150 Google employees already have access to much of the data on tens of millions of patients, according to a person familiar with the matter and the documents.

Yours is not to wonder why, yours is to cough up data and die.

Related (From Ed): “It’s uncanny how closely the Western elites have come to resemble their unlamented Soviet counterparts,” Richard Fernandez tweets, regarding the suitably Orwellianly named Project Nightingale. “Mass surveillance, propaganda, special academies, secret perversions, etc. But how could it be otherwise? Power creates one face with minor variations.”---Posted by Stephen Green"

Trump: Open Borders Threatens the Wage Gains of America's Lowest-Income Workers | Breitbart:

President Donald Trump touted the wage gains for Americans in the lowest income brackets, adding that that the open borders policies of the Democratic Party threaten those gains.
“Since the election, real wages have gone up 3.2 percent for the median American worker,” Trump said in a speech Tuesday to the Economic Club of New York. “But for the bottom income group, real wages are soaring. A number that has never happened before. Nine percent.”

"...These are times that call for us to do those things that we believe in, and to march, and not just to march, cause that's important to show solidarity, but then to do those things such as voter registration, get people out to vote, so that we can have people here who are truly committed to human rights, environmental rights -- climate change...believe in climate change as though it's a religion, it's not a science-- and all the things that need to be done, and there is a lot," Sen. Hirono told the crowd.
