The Inside Story of Trump's Pardon of Angela Stanton-King | Newsmax.com
"When best-selling author and BET reality TV star Angela Stanton-King received word on Tuesday that President Trump had just granted her a full pardon, she was literally overcome.
...“I was just crying like a baby. People thought someone had died.”
...“When I was released from prison 15 years ago,” she told Newsmax in an exclusive interview, “I was given a $25 check and a bus ticket and told to start my life over.
“I came home to four children, and I came home to two tombstones,” she said. “My mother was in one and my grandmother was in the other. “They’d both passed away while I was in prison.

Billionaire oligarch Mike Bloomberg is running as the “anti-Trump,” casting President Donald Trump as a “bully.” “I bill myself as the un-Trump,” Bloomberg told a campaign rally last week.
But as mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013, Bloomberg behaved like the authoritarian many Democrats believe Trump to be, changing the rules to allow himself to run for a third term, then voting to change them back.
Even if the 2019 coronavirus ends immediately -- and it is still growing -- it will have already altered the way our interconnected civilization works. Here are some challenges it has already posed....
The need for contingent telecommuting. "The unprecedented quarantines – which have put 60 million people in China’s hardest-hit cities under lockdown – hopes to help reduce transmissions across the country. So instead of offices filled with workers, and shopping centres serving customers – millions of people are working from their apartments, in what’s been dubbed the world’s biggest work-from-home experiment."
The need for backup logistical systems to supply communities under lockdown. "Around 500 million people in China are currently affected by policies put in place restricting movement, to contain COVID-19. That's more than the entire population of the United States and is equivalent to roughly 6.5 per cent of the world's population."
The need for interlocks in the travel stream to safely move people from one environment to another without passing a pathogen. The U.S. is establishing quarantine sites on military bases. Australia is considering turning outback mining towns into isolation centers.
The need for failover arrangements to replace critical processes knocked out by the disruption. The effect on the supply chain caused by events in China has affected many areas of manufacturing but, ironically, none more than the pharmaceutical industry.
Stacey Abrams is one of the Democrat Party establishment’s top picks to be their presidential nominee’s running mate. Just like clockwork, the Oprah-endorsed Democrat showed up on The View to be promoted to the public and anointed by Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and the rest of the shrews.
Strangely, the segment where Abrams talks about the jerry-rigging was cut from the main show.
.@staceyabrams explains why she says the electoral college is a "classist racist system whose time has passed and we need to get rid of it." https://abcn.ws/37BnEK7

Former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan accused 2020 Democrats of “pandering to the left” when discussing changes in their immigration positions.
Homan reacted during a Tuesday appearance on “Fox & Friends First” to several Democratic presidential candidates appearing to have shifted leftward on immigration enforcement over the years. Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Vice President Joe Biden previously held more hawkish views on border security, according to old footage and quotes presented during the segment.
STT has run several stories over the last few months about wind power outfits being paid very handsomely to NOT generate electricity.
Perhaps it’s the sense of outrage that comes with knowing a group of unscrupulous thugs are being paid for doing nothing that’s prompted a flurry of articles, including this one.
...Wind turbines generate more cash when they’re switched OFF than when they’re working – with customers shouldering nearly £650 million in payments over a decade..."
Former Vice President Joe Biden told event-goers Monday in Nevada why he didn’t win Iowa’s Democratic caucuses.
“One of the four most difficult states for me to win was going to be in Iowa because … they are good people — it’s all white, it’s all Midwesterners and a lot of farming, and it was going to be but it — we did OK if you take a look at what happened there. I mean it was kind of a unusual thing that I hope doesn’t happen here,” Biden said.
Harvard prof calls Trump a ‘neo-fascist gangster’
"Harvard philosophy professor Cornel West referred to President Donald Trump as a "neo-fascist gangster" at a campaign rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders Monday night in New Hampshire.
...The professor elaborated on his description of Trump as a “neo-fascist gangster” by claiming that he keeps ordinary people fighting amongst each other rather than confronting elites at the top.
West also claimed that Trump believes in the “rule of big military and big money” and aims to divide people by their class, color, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs..." Read all.
The Roger Stone Case is a Clear Peek into the Totalitarian Police State - America Out Loud "Those who truly see, understand the Roger Stone Case is a clear peek into the odious apparatus of the totalitarian police state needed by Socialism to stay in power.

Stone hasn’t been shot yet, but a long time in a gulag is in the offing! This is the America the Democrats are promising to bring us, apolice state with them in charge! You can bet on it!
The one-sided conduct of the Stone trial is now seriously being questioned..."
