"The Podesta-Russia connection also could rekindle a new round of questions about Clinton relationships with foreign figures — in this case, Chubais.
Chubais, Russia’s deputy prime minister in the 1990s, owed his personal fortunes to Bill Clinton, who embraced him as a “reformer” in former President Boris Yeltsin’s government. Clinton’s ally instead created a new generation of tycoons who today rule Russia.
Podesta’s role at Joule was largely unknown until last year when the nonprofit Government Accountability Institute (GAI) published a highly-detailed report on Russian ties to Podesta and the Clintons."
• Chart: Forget Tech Stocks! You Should Have Invested in Pizza | Statista "...Well, here’s another what if. What if you had literally put your money where your mouth is and invested in Domino’s Pizza instead? (Not the actual pizza but the company behind it.) In that case, you would be looking at a return of more than $20,000 right now, happy that your love of pizza finally left you with more than a guilty conscience. So what happened that made Domino’s outperform some of the most successful companies in the U.S. this decade and earn the company a $9 billion valuation? Well, it appears as if Domino’s quite literally found the recipe for success in 2009, when it changed the fundamental ingredients of its pizza in late December. Since then, the company’s stock price rose by more than 2,000 percent. In 2016, the company made a profit of $215 million on $2.5 billion in revenue.
This chart shows how much a $1,000 investment in selected U.S. companies' shares would be worth today.

"The United States is descending into such an abyss, as politics now seem to govern whether existing laws are enforced.
Sociologists in the 1980s found out that when even minor infractions were ignored — such as the breaking of windows, or vendors walking into the street to hawk wares to motorists in a traffic jam — misdemeanors then spiraled into felonies as lawbreakers become emboldened. "
Pre-school suspends four-year-old terrorist « Hot Air:
"...Here’s the latest chapter in scary school silliness.
In deep southern Illinois this week, Kristy Jackson went to pick up her four-year-old son Hunter from pre-school. She was greeted by an extremely unhappy teacher who said the little boy had brought to school a dangerous “shotgun bullet.” Never mind there’s no such thing. Jackson was shocked, but also puzzled because her son had just spent a bonding afternoon learning the beginnings of gun safety from his grandfather, a police officer. The stern teacher led Hunter’s Mom to the principal’s office.
There, she was handed the evidence that had condemned her son, a tiny empty .22 shell casing. According to Jackson’s reasoned account on Facebook, she was also silently handed a piece of paper.
It explained that Hunter’s behavior warranted a sentence of a seven-day suspension from school.
“I still was expected to pay tuition, of course. And a threat that if his enthusiasm for guns continued, he’d be permanently expelled.”... Read on!
"As our friend and colleague Warner Todd Huston says at Breitbart:
If health care became a right, it would require the labor of doctors, nurses, and other care providers. Therefore, we would essentially turn healthcare providers into slaves of the state, forcing them to care for people despite their personal desires and feelings on the matter. After all, if it is our right to get health care, how can any doctor refuse us?"
Is Canada in Tatters? | Diane Bederman- Your Passionate Voice of Reason
"Is the Canadian government pushing Motion 103 to accommodate the following Islamic views?
Will Canada end in tatters?
The fight for Islamic prayers in public schools is dividing Canadians.
Much ado about something is taking place in Peel region; one of Canada’s largest and fastest growing multi-ethnic areas.
...concerns about the practice of Jummah, a Muslim congregational prayer held each Friday, around midday, that is taking place in Peel Public secular schools A prayer that condones hate against Christians and Jews.
I share these prayers with you later in the article.
Once again “Progressive” Canadians are calling out other Canadians for not being appropriately accommodating, tolerant, and inclusive of Islam as they, the self-appointed righteous ones.
The Muslim students also wanted the right to pray not only on Fridays, but every day of the week, if it is convenient for them.
Student Shahmir Durrani explained “’The board should not be policing religion’ and that the policy is unjust because it specifically targets Islam.”
Well, he’s right. The board is targeting Islam because only Islam has had the audacity to demand that their religion, ...be allowed in the public sphere while Christianity which was part of the secular curriculum has been removed.
...“On Fridays, the noon congregational prayer (Jummah) substitutes for the regular noon prayer, and it includes the Khutba, or the Friday sermon, by the imam (religious leader) who gives the congregants guidance in Islamic teachings.
The purpose of the prayer is to demonstrate a total submission to Allah and a commitment to follow his path unconditionally.
This mandatory prayer attacks all Christians and Jews.
“The path of those you bestowed favours upon, not those who have incurred [Your] wrath and those who have deviated.” from urah (chapter) al-Fatihah..." Lots more, read on!
The first group, the prophet (pbuh) has identified as the JEWS (اليهود), and the second group ‘those who have deviated’, the prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, has identified them as the Christians (النصارى)..."
