Second Nexus... ”REPORT: Nogales, Arizona City Council Passes Resolution Threatening to Sue Federal Government If Razor Concertina Wire Installed on the Border Wall Is Not Removed” I suspect we will see a lot of this. It’s one thing for those far away from the border to think a wall is a good idea. But they forget or ignore what the reality of the wall is for those who live along the border. I suspect if it was in their neighborhood it would become “not in my backyard “ for a lot who now support the wall. I hope they get somewhere with the lawsuit, if it comes to that, and that they remove it. The photos are just appalling... and it's not as if we have a 'no man's land' of space between our border and Mexico, where people aren't allowed to go, or anything like that. Just having coils of razor wire on a fence where people LIVE and WALK has got to be violating all sorts of federal / state safety regulations and building code regulations, doesn't it? Or does one branch of government get to just ignore regulations written by another branch of another government as long as they can say it's done for 'national security' (which we ALL know is a crock of BS, anyway) reasons? I’m sure I’m getting the details fuzzy but I think I remember photos of that wire being laid directly on the ground by the servicemen sent to the border last fall.

CNN....
“Trump furious after Schiff hires former NSC aides to help oversee his administration”
”Washington (CNN)House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has hired officials with experience at the National Security Council to help with its oversight of President Donald Trump's administration, according to a committee aide.
The aide declined to say how recently the newly hired officials worked at the council, whether they served under Trump or to identify the individuals. But the move appears to have enraged the President and some members of his senior staff, who view the move as an intrusion. It comes as Democrats prepare to wield new investigative power after winning a House majority in 2018. Trump fumed on Twitter Thursday about the recently launched investigations led by the Democratic intelligence chair and suggested he was raiding the White House staff.”

We haven’t done our taxes yet, but I am worried. We generally try to break even, we had extra withheld each month, but I do worry it won’t be enough. Hopefully this will generate enough ire that people will start to wake up? Maybe? Hopefully? Probably not. We ended up paying thousands more in federal (almost 1/2 less refund) and owing $1000 to state (meaning writing a check to pay them) in past years we usually received a refund from state up towards $500, and owing local $700 (used to break even or owe/receive under $75) —-every single expense deduction we have been able to take in all the previous years if my adult working life are gone. This administration once again, was NEVER EVER for the people it serves. I'm just going to say that DH and I got hosed. My RINO DH is pissed to put it mildly and this is a man who never even says 'dang'.

Will her duties include combating all of the disinformation that comes from Trump? That would keep her pretty busy!

I got another email and survey from Trump today. It’s interesting, as usual. Trump Pence Make America Great Again Kristin, Even before the State of the Union Address, Cryin’ Chuck and Democrats criticized President Trump’s speech. During his historic State of the Union Address he had a very clear message for Democrats like Cryin’ Chuck, who only obstruct: “Victory is not winning for our party, victory is winning for our country.” It’s called AMERICA FIRST! Here are some of the highlights from last night’s historic State of the Union Address: President Trump shared critical details about the CRISIS at our Southern Border, and finally exposed Democrats for their lies and obstruction. He described our BOOMING ECONOMY and laid out a clear vision of our plan for continued American Greatness. And he expressed a message of unity that ALL AMERICANS should be proud of. We know Democrats will criticize the speech. We know the Mainstream Media will criticize the speech. And we know the Coastal Elites will criticize the speech. But the President doesn’t care what they think. He only cares what you think, Kristin. Please take the Official State of the Union Approval Poll by 11:59 PM TONIGHT to let President Trump know what you thought of his speech. >> Official State of the Union Approval Poll 1. How would you rate President Trump’s State of the Union Address? Answer 2. Do you believe President Trump properly addressed the CRISIS at our Southern Border? Answer 3. Do you believe President Trump delivered a visionary speech of always choosing American Greatness? Answer 4. Do you believe President Trump accurately described the great State of our Union? Answer 5. Do you believe President Trump properly addressed the real danger of MS-13 gang members pouring into our country? Answer You’ve proven to be one of the President’s top supporters, and now he needs your input. Please take the Official State of the Union Approval Poll by 11:59 PM TONIGHT to let President Trump know what you thought of his speech. >> Thanks, Official State of the Union Polling Team TRUMP 2020 TAKE THE SURVEY NOW Contributions to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

I will say our return was processed lightning fast. We e-filed about a week ago and the refund was direct deposited this morning. Still not happy at how small it was, but at least we didn't have to wait long to get it. We ended up paying thousands more in federal (almost 1/2 less refund) and owing $1000 to state (meaning writing a check to pay them) in past years we usually received a refund from state up towards $500, and owing local $700 (used to break even or owe/receive under $75) —-every single expense deduction we have been able to take in all the previous years if my adult working life are gone.

I wish I could transcribe the whole Rachel Maddow show tonight. This Jeff Bezos thing has tentacles that are quite the rabbit holes.
Here’s the short version:
*Bezos owns Washington Post *Trump hates WP therefore Bezos *AMI (Enquirer) had cahooted with Cohen & Trump to pay hush money to women, violating campaign finance laws *AMI struck deal with SDNY to tell all in exchange for non-prosecution of campaign finance violations *AMI/SDNY included “if you break the law in the next 3 years the deal’s off” clause *AMI tried to blackmail Bezos with pictures & texts *Blackmail is a crime
It’s a whole lot more complicated than that & involves more Trump & WAPO stuff & a Saudi financing thing but that’s probably over my head.
Anyway....interested to hear more on this.

Oh holy shit. Ok she’s explaining the saudi thing.
*Khashoggi worked for WAPO * Bezos pissed about JK murder & starts investigating *AMI guy Pecker has business interests in SA and with prince *Trump did that campaign violation thing with AMI (And much more) *AMI prints crap about Bezos affair *Bezos goes after AMI with investigation *AMI tries to pull nuclear action on Bezos (see above post)
Side note: Now we know why (at least one reason) Trump wouldn’t go after Saudi Prince (AMI/Pecker)

Anyway....interested to hear more on this. Well, since extortion is a crime, this may lead to an investigation of AMI. And during the investigation of a crime, lots of material will be available for the authorities to review. Wonder how much they will find out about the hush money that they don't know from Cohen already?

“NEWS: Here comes Bernie Sanders - announcement this month, confidence that he can dominate in a crowded Democratic field and take on Trump’s attack on socialism”
“Sanders, Bernard - (I - VT)Class I 332 Dirksen Senate Office Building”
It would seem Sanders is getting ready to toss in his hat to run for President. So I checked to see his political party. According to the list of current US Senators he is an independent. Which means he is going to, again, re-register as a Democrat and run as a Democrat. Such a blood sucking leach.

Mika and Joe talked about the Saudi / AMI thing a bit this morning on their show...
Back in the day, Trump was paying CASH for real estate deals in the neighborhood of $400 million and also boasting about being 'the King of Debt' which don't really go together. So where did the $$ come from? He was getting Saudi and Russian money.
Don Jr. and Eric boasted about getting all that $$$ from Russia for their businesses (but then tried to take it back and said 'nope, just kidding.') No US banks would lend him money any longer, and neither would Deutsche Bank. So where did they get all their money, pray tell?
And now that he's the President, who are DT's best friends? Putin, the Saudis, and the crown prince. funny how that works, isn't it?!?
it's ALL about the money.

“Washington Posts @roigfranzia says Bezos' team thinks it's possible that the text leaks were politically motivated and that a "government entity" accessed the Bezos texts and hoo boy that's certainly something”
With trump, the president, publicly mouthing off against Bezos and the Washington Post, it is entirely possible that the “government entity” is this government.

What is on trump’s mind this morning during his “executive time”?
”The mainstream media has refused to cover the fact that the head of the VERY important Senate Intelligence Committee, after two years of intensive study and access to Intelligence that only they could get, just stated that they have found NO COLLUSION between “Trump” & Russia....
“...It is all a GIANT AND ILLEGAL HOAX, developed long before the election itself, but used as an excuse by the Democrats as to why Crooked Hillary Clinton lost the Election! Someday the Fake News Media will turn honest & report that Donald J. Trump was actually a GREAT Candidate!”

Such a blood sucking leach. then Democrats are idiots if they ‘fall’ for that twice. And it will be the end of them. Way way too far left. Because the radical right is more steadfast, organized and they already have gerrymandered districts all wrapped up. & now they have ‘thier’ SC so the gerrymandered districts will be upheld. If Bernie left the Democratic Party after he failed to get the nomination then he is NOT a democrat. Which is true he’s way further left than most of the party. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Mystery grows over AMI-published pro-Saudi magazine"Why would American Media, best-known for publishing salacious stories of sex and scandal, sink money into printing 200,000 copies of a magazine with a grinning Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman splashed across the cover? The crown prince is no household name in the U.S., especially in states like Nebraska where the magazine showed up. And at $13.99 a copy and with no advertisements, the publication seems unlikely to be a money-maker." hmmm... this isn't suspicious at ALL, is it? What possible reason would AMI have for publishing a pro-Saudi magazine with NO input from the Saudis whatsoever?? And on whose orders? why? I doubt there's a huge population of potential Saudi tourists floating around out there, just wanting to know more about the country-- I can just see the scenario, it's totally plausible to me! <sarcasm> Someone in the checkout line goes to grab the latest issue of the Enquirer, and sees the Saudi magazine, and thinks to themselves: "oh, hey! I was just wondering what life was like in Saudi Arabia!" <grabs magazine> "Here, Junior- put this $14 magazine in the shopping cart next to the Enquirer and the Ding Dongs." Sure sounds like political influencing to me: "See? The crown prince isn't such a bad guy-- who cares that he ordered the torture and beheading of a 'fake news' journalist? He wasn't a US citizen, anyway." (TOTAL sarcasm)
