Report: Missing $1.8 Billion in Aid Linked to Corrupt Oligarch Who ‘Bankrolled’ Ukraine Revolution – American Greatness
"In a live video presentation, Thursday night, conservative radio host Glenn Beck accused the Obama administration of funneling $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars to Ukraine in order to fund the Ukrainian revolution against Russia.
Calling the scandal bigger than the Reagan-era “Iran Contra” scandal, The Blaze founder said that his research team made the discovery while looking into the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, which spurred the Democrats’ now-failed impeachment charade.
Beck explained that there were “things in the phone call that just didn’t make sense to us” and that prompted them to do a deep dive into what happened to the $1.8 billion in aid that went missing in PrivatBank, the largest commercial bank in Ukraine, which is owned by the corrupt oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.
After former president Barack Obama made then-Vice President Joe Biden his “point man” in Ukraine, the Veep sent $3 billion in aid to Ukraine, and Burisma Holdings—where his son Hunter sat on the board—was implicated in the disappearance of $1.8 billion of that money..."

Glenn Beck unveils money laundering scheme linked to Hunter Biden and Burisma - TheBlaze
Glenn Beck unveils money laundering scheme linked to Hunter Biden and Burisma - TheBlaze:
During the special, Beck explained that in 2014, $23 million was sent to a bank in London via wire transfer by Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma. British authorities immediately froze the accounts and began tracing the funds back to their origins.
According to Beck, the evidence suggests that the money had been laundered through the minimally regulated Latvian banking system and transferred into an array of shell companies.
"Not only did Biden not seem to care about his new company being investigated for stealing and laundering money," Beck said, "he also apparently didn't mind that the primary owner of Burisma [Valeriyovych Kolomoyskyi] was on a U.S. visa ban list for — get this — murders and beheadings."

Great Lakes Water Levels Too High? Too Low? For 60 Years Newspapers Answer: Yes – Michigan Capitol Confidential
"...The newspaper describes Whitmer’s proposal to spend $40 million on what the budget calls “Local Climate Resilient Infrastructure Grants” as a response to “the negative impacts of Michigan’s changing climate conditions.”
The Free Press adds that this is what has caused record high water levels.
Around the region, newspapers are reporting that water levels are high and are causing damage.
Over the past six decades, regional newspapers have had a lot to stay about Great Lakes’ water levels. Here are some examples:
- July 29, 1964
“The conference was prompted by record low levels of the lakes which have been falling steadily since 1960 – due primarily to a lack of rainfall in the Great Lakes basin.”
- May 21, 1975
“When the IJC [International Joint Commission, US – Canada] study began nearly a decade ago, he noted, the Great Lakes were plagued by low-water levels and as it comes to a completion, high waters have become the chief concern.”
- Jan. 26, 1987
“All the Great Lakes are either at or near their highest levels on record, with erosion and flooding causing millions of dollars in damage to coastal properties and erasing huge sections of the shoreline.”...
- April 11, 1996
“Water levels in the Great Lakes and Lake St. Clair have declined steadily over the last decade, Environment Canada statistics indicate.”
- May 17, 2000
“What makes the dropoff particularly remarkable is that it comes only three years after lake levels reached near-record highs. Then, beaches and even houses were swept away.”

‘The Most Radical Piece of Immigration Legislation’: Experts, GOP React To Democratic ‘New Way Forward’ Bill | The Daily Caller
‘The Most Radical Piece of Immigration Legislation’: Experts, GOP React To Democratic ‘New Way Forward’ Bill | The Daily Caller:
“It’s clear that House Democrats care more about illegal aliens than law-abiding Americans and view criminals as victims,” Tragesser added.
The decriminalization of illegal immigration was already becoming a more mainstream position with the Democratic Party. In fact, before the introduction of the bill, Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren both came out in support of the proposal. Sanders, a clear frontrunner in the nomination contest, has also voiced support for virtually ceasing all deportations.
The New Way Forward, however, takes these positions even farther.

Obama's real legacy can be seen in two places... ---Fans of Best of the Web Today
Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith"They are diminishing in quantity, but there still are progressive partisans who still claim that President Trump's economic success is due to Obama's policies and that the recovery was underway when Trump took over.
The latter is true - America was experiencing a recovery in Obama's second term - the slowest recovery in the history of the country.
Economies are never flat, they are either trending up or trending down, so if you want to understand who did what to whom, you look at the slope of the data to see its rate of increase or decrease.
There is no comparison in the changes in slope of the Trump years versus anything during the Obama years.
Trump wins that one hands down and he shows no sign of growing tired of winning.
...Obama's real legacy can be seen in two places - 1) the rise of the radical left wing of the Democrat Party and its increasing power and 2) the ongoing disintegration of the party organizational command and control structure.
Obama killed the Democrat Party...
...Obama's legacy is not winning two national elections or destroying American healthcare.
The merging of the Communist Party USA and the Democrat Party is."

Pelosi gets irritated when asked about ripping-up SOTU: 'I don’t need any lessons from anybody' - TheBlaze
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) got slightly heated during her weekly press conference Thursday when asked about ripping up a copy of President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech Tuesday night.
During the question-and-answer portion of the press conference, the speaker was asked, "You often counsel new members to be dignified in their response to the president, take the high ground; did you step on that message by tearing up the state of the union?"

- Victor Davis Hanson (American Greatness). It says a lot that the best and most powerful journalist in America today writes mostly for conservative and relatively small-circulation journals like American Greatness. A classicist, farmer, and university professor, Hanson has for several years been laying waste to the media-academic complex, home to much of the country’s most tiresome people. For this reason alone, he will never win a mainstream journalism award.
- Mollie Hemingway (The Federalist). The second-best journalist in the country...

"...“there is growing evidence that taxes can affect the geographic location of people both within and across countries.”
If we want to make smart policy for our state, looking at the data is not a bad place to start.

Bob Collins--@MyLittleBloggie
As soon as I got to the paragraph about the influx of low income people (code for people of color), I knew it had to be from the Klan-robe crowd at the Center of the American Experiment.
Migration out of Minnesota is on the rise. http://strib.mn/2UnfVw7
Here is exactly what I wrote about ‘low-income’ folks:
The IRS database has just been updated with the addition of two more years of statistics on the movement of taxpayers across state lines, covering the years 2016-17 and 2017-18.
Unfortunately, these new data show that the trend that existed as of 2016 continues: Minnesota gains low-income residents from other states, but loses middle- and upper-income residents, generally to lower-tax states.
..What was I supposed to say?
....Was I supposed not to say anything at all?
A cynic may say that that is exactly the intention..."
