Oh wow, do we need to close the airport because the authorities stopped $12.8 million drug entry into the US? A two-year undercover drug investigation led to the arrests of 85 people, including six leaders of a drug-smuggling ring, according to a Florida sheriff’s office. “Operation Flying Ice,” which involved agencies in Florida, California and Tennessee, led to the seizure of over $12.8 million in drugs, including 268 pounds of methamphetamine and 31 pounds of cocaine, according to an Aug. 19 news release from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation started in September 2020 with the seizure of 1 pound of methamphetamine in Winter Haven, about 50 miles southwest of Orlando, Florida, acco... nordot.app/933843336319877120 |

Sleep well tonight... I just want to be clear, fealty to Trump is still the number one thing among GOP base right now and not apologizing for anything that happened in the Trump years or any idea that he has come up with over the last few years," Collins noted. Marjorie Taylor Greene is like a rising store in these spaces," Collins reported. "I think people are shocked when you hear that Marjorie Taylor Greene has some real power in this space now, but she does. She is a tremendously powerful person among the GOP base right now, she has a way to reel people in, and on these Trump forums they view her even, more so as a vice presidential candidate than someone like Mike Pence at that point."www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-2024-vp/ |

Because of those trying to protect I don’t know what, we will never know the entire story involving trump and Russia. The fact that Mueller was told not to follow the money in his investigation says a lot. Then there is the Barr memo that apparently undercut the Mueller Report. Add to the attack on the FBI for investigating it.
And the biggest irony in all this “protection” crap the right did and is doing is trump has got to be the lease deserving individual to receive it.

Yes...
This ensures that the issue will be resolved on an expedited basis and will not allow for lengthy delays.

What do you think about the rumblings that CNN is moving to the right? Full disclosure, I typically watch CNN because I find MSNBC too far left for my taste...shocker right  I'm bummed about CNN moving right. I don't think they are center as far as political spectrum and are definitely more left but I don't think they are what I would call radical left. If CNN starts moving right and supporting the GOP, I'm out and I really don't want to watch MSNBC. Jake Tapper supporting/promoting Jared Kushners book just might be the beginning of the end for me. |

I read somewhere today that Brianna Keillor and John Berman would be the next to go from CNN. That makes me sad. They seem a good pair. She digs in when asking questions! She did State of the Union a few Sundays ago. *** Just found a video of Brien Stelter talking about his show yesterday was his last. He apparently was told on Thursday. Wishing the best for CNN. He said it very unusual to allow a host to be on after being told he was cut... |

Interesting....? On Monday, WRAL reported that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the highest-ranking Republican in the state, called for eliminating science and history classes from elementary schools. Robinson said he’d work to keep history, science and a number of other subjects out of first through fifth grade curricula and instead prioritize reading, writing and math," said the report. "'In those grades, we don’t need to be teaching social studies,' he writes. 'We don’t need to be teaching science. We surely don’t need to be talking about equity and social justice.' Robinson also reaffirms personal views on climate change that became a major issue in the 2020 election. 'Guess what? Most of the people of North Carolina know global warming is junk science,' he writes." *** He has become highly controversial for his past statements, including that gay people are "devil-worshipping child molesters," that transgender identity is a "mass delusion" designed "to turn God’s creation ... into a sickening image of rebellion to glorify Satan," that the Parkland school shooting activists are "silly little immature media prosti-tots," that Michelle Obama is secretly a man, that Muslims in America are "invaders," and that the film Black Panther is a Jewish plot to grift money off of Black people. While vehemently anti-abortion, he has also admitted that he once paid his wife to have one before they were married. www.rawstory.com/mark-robinson-2657896870/ |

Lawrence Tribe... On the filing. "Then, finally, it's strange, not so much what it says but what it doesn't say," he continued. "It doesn't really give any good reasons for thinking this warrant was illegal. In fact, one of the amazing things that I agree with is a statement on page 13 that President Trump, he still calls himself President Trump, should not be treated differently from any other citizen. Finally, he gets that right. Any other citizen who took top-secret material to not just a private home but a resort, like Mar-a-Lago, which has been penetrated by Chinese spies and perhaps by others, would be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. So, he is sort of asking Merrick Garland to prosecute him. Thank you, Mr. Trump, I won't call him President Trump."*** "If he's being treated not as president but as a citizen, he's got to be indicted," Tribe explained. "Otherwise, the rule of law just doesn't mean anything." www.rawstory.com/laurence-tribe-trump-failed-court-filing/ |

Well duh!
That is the problem with businesses like coal companies, they come in and trash the place make no attempt to fix what they trashed.
From the article..
“Now 59 people who live in this narrow hollow hope to hold Blackhawk Mining and its subsidiary Pine Branch Mining, which together operate a nearby coal mine, accountable. On Monday, they filed a case in Breathitt County Circuit Court: the first large-scale lawsuit against a coal company since the historic flooding late last month killed at least 37 people in east Kentucky.
The area is a poverty-stricken region with a long history of and economic ties to coal mining, and it bears the scars of strip mining and mountaintop removal that many believe can worsen flooding. The plaintiffs allege that the failure of the companies’ silt ponds, aggravated by the mining operation’s damage to the land, led to the widespread destruction of their community and the contamination of their drinking water. “

There were over 300 classified documents at MAL according to the NYT. Former went through the boxes by hand in late 2021, before returning the first set of boxes. Wonder what he hid and still has?!? Just shows greater guilt! Not only were boxes stored in the basement and come to find out there more boxes stored in the closet in his office. Attorney Christina Bobb is the one who signed the document stating that all the documents were turned over in June. NOT true, as we know now.. www.rawstory.com/trump-300-classified-documents/ |

Headlines . Was the secret Service tring to protect former or themselves... Is the Secret Service protecting Trump or itself? Sarah K. Burris July 18, 2022 Former senior adviser to Ted Cruz, Amanda Carpenter, wrote for the Bulwark that she's not quite clear on who the U.S. Secret Service is protecting given what has been uncovered about their behavior on Jan. 6. Among the things that have been uncovered, it turns out the Secret service informed the president about weapons that participants at the Ellipse rally had on Jan. 6. They didn't arrest anyone, despite it being illegal to have firearms on federal property like the Washington Monument. In fact, the Secret Service didn't report the weapons they discovered from rally attendees to the DC Metro Police or the Capitol Police as those rally goers began marching in that direction. www.rawstory.com/secret-service-text-2657690585/ |

Court says Barr lied.. Maddow began by talking about the Office of Legal Counsel that penned a "policy" that a sitting president can't be indicted while in office. But according to Barr, that OLC opinion didn't matter, because special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Donald Trump was innocent. The three-judge panel of the Federal Appeals Court ruled that was false. You might remember William Barr released a statement about it," Maddow recalled of the Mueller report. "And in that statement, he said, I've reviewed this report from Robert Mueller, and as attorney general, I have carefully reviewed all the evidence that Mueller and his team have presented here, all of the evidence they have presented as to whether or not Trump committed crimes. Barr said, specifically that he was disregarding the Justice Department policy that said a sitting president can't be charged with crimes. He said, I'm not paying attention to that. He said regardless of that policy, just ignore that policy, regardless of that rule, I, William Barr, have reviewed all of the evidence, and I have determined that no way should trump face any charges, not just because he's president, not just because of this rule that says no charges can be brought against a president, but regardless of that, Trump shouldn't face any charges because in my, William Barr, review of the evidence in this report indicates that Trump committed no crimes." *** But Barr mischaracterized the report in his infamous memo, as Maddow noted, "he signed his name to it.""The evidence developed during the special counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense," Barr wrote in his memo. "Our determination was made without regard to and is not based on the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president." "That's what Barr did. That's what Barr said," Maddow quoted. "Turns out that was a lie. At least a federal appeals court in Washington has just ruled that that was a lie. According to a unanimous ruling from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, a three-judge panel, when Robert Mueller turned in his report to the Justice Department, Attorney General Bill Barr and the Justice Department never actually considered at all whether or not Trump committed crimes or whether Trump should be charged. They literally never even looked at that possibility despite what they said they were doing publicly. Barr lied according to the Appeals Court and told Congress and the public that the Justice Department did consider that, and after that careful consideration, they definitely concluded Trump committed no crimes and shouldn't be charged. But the Appeals Court says that Barr lied about it." She closed by asking what Congress will do about it and what the next steps are to hold Trump accountable for those ten examples of obstruction of justice. What's next after court declares Bill Barr lied about Trump's crimes www.rawstory.com/bill-barr-lied-about-trump/ |
