How Obama's Justice Dept managed to evade FOIA laws - WND

How Obama's Justice Dept managed to evade FOIA laws - WND:

ACLJ said that having taken control of the laptops, “agreeing to severely limit its searches, agreeing to unlawfully shield the laptops from FOIA, then agreeing to dispose of the laptops, it appears the Comey FBI and Lynch DOJ did everything in their power to protect Clinton’s senior aids and lawyers from both criminal liability <and public scrutiny.”
The agreements documented that in return for temporary, brief and limited access to the computers, “no information directly obtained” will be used against the Clinton staffers.
ACLJ explained that one of its lawsuits seeking information about Obama-administration scandals, it went to court to “to force production of various records surrounding former FBI Director James Comey’s sham investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of private email servers and mishandling of classified information.”

How to make big bucks: Run a white guilt workshop | The College Fix
"Not many people go into teaching for the money, whether it be primary school, high school, or even college.
However, if you want to use an education degree to make some real money, here’s what to do: Offer your services for staff trainings centered on participants’ white guilt.
According to the Daily Caller News Foundation, leaders of such seminars can make more in one day than what the “median black household makes in three months.”

Popular (and Caucasian) “white fragility” lecturer Robin DiAngelo got a cool $12,000 — not counting travel expenses — from the University of Kentucky back in March for a two-hour session on “racial justice.” 
Tickets for a recent half-day event in San Francisco featuring DiAngelo went for $120 (adults) and $65 (kids) apiece..."

"In Canada now, political correctness trumps security. 

Flying while Muslim means you won’t be forced to uncover your face or lift up your burqa before boarding a plane. 

Are we feeling safer yet?

If facts matter, read this!-----CO2 Data Manipulation | PSI Intl

CO2 Data Manipulation | PSI Intl
"The consistent pattern of the IPCC reveals demonization and misrepresentations of CO2. 
Here are some basic facts about CO2 that illustrate the discrepancy between what the IPCC claim and what science knows.

• Natural levels of Carbon dioxide (CO2) are less than 0.04% of the total atmosphere; it is far from being the most important or even only greenhouse gas as most of the public understands.
• Water vapour which is 95 percent of the greenhouse gases by volume is by far the most abundant and important greenhouse gas.
• The other natural greenhouse gas of relevance is methane (CH4), but it is only 0.000175 percent of atmospheric gases and 0,036 percent of all greenhouse gases.
• In order to amplify the importance of CO2 they created a measure called “climate sensitivity”. This determines that CO2 is more “effective” as a greenhouse gas than water vapour
• Here is a table from Wikipedia showing estimates of the effectiveness of the various GHGs. Notice the range of estimates, which effectively makes the measures meaningless, unless you have a political agenda. Wikipedia acknowledges “It is not possible to state that a certain gas causes an exact percentage of the greenhouse effect.”...

Major Solar Storm To Strike Earth This Week As "Black Supermoon" Looms | Zero Hedge

Major Solar Storm To Strike Earth This Week As "Black Supermoon" Looms | Zero Hedge
"An absolutely massive hole has formed in the upper atmosphere of the Sun, and our planet will align with that hole later this week.  
Once the alignment happens, Earth will be bombarded by a “solar storm”, and nobody is quite sure yet how bad it will be.  
If the storm is relatively minor, we could just experience a few disruptions to satellite communications and see some pretty lights in the sky. 

But if the storm is really severe, our electrical grid could be fried and we could experience widespread power outages.  

...Since our satellites are outside our atmosphere, they are the most vulnerable during a solar storm.  If some of our satellites get fried, that could affect GPS navigation, cell phone communication, and satellite television services…

...But if the storm is powerful enough, electronic devices all over the country could be damaged and our power grid could potentially be disabled..."

Federal Government Pumped $15.7 Billion into Cummings' District in 2018...Where Did it Go? - David Harris Jr

Federal Government Pumped $15.7 Billion into Cummings' District in 2018...Where Did it Go? - David Harris Jr
"The federal budget allowed for 15.7 billion dollars for District 7, represented by Elijah Cummings. 
Where did that money go? 
It wasn’t spent to improve the district. 
Did any of that money go to Cummings’ wife’s company? 
That would be the first place I’d look. 
Nearly 16 billion dollars will pick up a lot of trash. 
People of Cummings’s district should be flooding his office and demand that he gives an accounting of where the money went. 
It didn’t just disappear. 
Baltimore has a long history of corruption. 
The last three mayors of the city had to resign in disgrace.

From The Gateway Pundit

The city of Baltimore received $16 billion in grants in 2018!  The city is a dump.  Where did the money go?  Does Representative Cummings know?

Great thread here covering the Baltimore mess the Democrats are facing –

AHA. Exactly like I figured. A **TON** of federal $$$ went into Baltimore under TRUMP in the last 2 1/2 years. $18 billion.

THEY TRACKED IT. THEY KNOW WHAT WAS DONE WITH IT. THEY KNOW WHO LOOTED IT. https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1155999940050485248 …

"President Trump has given $16 billion in 2018 alone to Elijah Cummings' district in federal grants."

"My question to you guys is this: what are you actually doing with the money?"

Brian Cates@drawandstrike

OK I misheard. It wasn't $18 billion over 2 1/2 years...the HUD Director said it was $16 billion **IN 2018 ALONE!

The fed. gov't pumped SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS into Cumming's district in 2018.

DB Hawthorne - JV: We hired Trump to tell the unspeakable Truth...
"JV: 
We hired Trump to tell the unspeakable Truth and break through decades of Liberal PC lies.

Truths:

The border is a disaster because the left is trying to rig elections by recruiting a new voting population. They don't care about people, they care about power. 

Baltimore is a disaster.

Liberals can't run anything well because they are corrupt. 

Corrupt regimes increase inequality. 

That's why LA, Baltimore, SF and many places have vast wealth and slums.

Liberals pimp people for power. 

They always have. 

From Lenin on.

Excellent advice!

Sonnie Johnson to Conservatives Named as Racist: 'So What?' | Breitbart

Sonnie Johnson to Conservatives Named as Racist: 'So What?' | Breitbart:

“There is nothing you are ever going to do that is going to make them stop calling you a racist,” said Breitbart News’s Sonnie Johnson, asking, “Why do we care?” in a Monday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Johnson offered her comments regarding news media focus on President Donald Trump’s characterization of Baltimore, Maryland, as “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
“There is one-party rule in Baltimore,” said Johnson of the Democrat Party’s control of Maryland’s most populous city. “If that doesn’t change, nothing on the ground is going to change. I don’t care how much Trump tweets. I don’t care how much Elijah Cummings and his ilk come back against him. The simple fact of the matter is, we are a republic.”

Walter E. Williams--Being a Racist Is Easy Today

Being a Racist Is Easy Today
"Years ago, it was hard to be a racist. 
You had to be fitted for and spend money on a white gown and don a pointy hat. 
You celebrated racism by getting some burlap, wrapping it around a cross, setting it ablaze and dancing around it carrying torches. 
Sometimes, as did Lester Maddox, you had to buy axe handles for yourself and your supporters to wield to forcibly turn away black customers from your restaurant. 
Or, as in the case of Theophilus "Bull" Connor, you had to learn to direct fire hoses and vicious police attack dogs against civil rights demonstrators.
...Today, all that has changed. 
To be a racist today takes little effort. 
For example, one can sit back in his easy chair and declare that he's for across-the-board tax cuts. 
That makes you a racist. 
If you don't believe me, think back to 1994 when the Republican-led Congress pushed for a tax-cut measure. 
Former U.S. House of Representatives member Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., denouncing the Republicans' plan before a Manhattan audience as a form of modern-day racism said: "It's not 'spic' or 'n-----' anymore. (Instead,) they say, 'Let's cut taxes.'" 
A few months later, he compared the GOP's "Contract with America" to measures in Nazi Germany saying, "Hitler wasn't even talking about doing these things."...
