I've lost all of my support over the last several years obviously. Nobody wants to go head to head with the Anti/XAers anymore. Seems that most have jumped off of the A.A. "bandwagon" all together. I've lost my resolve as well. Still sober 20+ years though. So there is that.

I have seen numbers up to $7.4 Billion posted as the total amount given to Ukraine through so how much is really unknown. Long story short about the well publicized parts most of us know, Hunter was placed on the board of Burisma energy, and in the recently leaked laptop emails, Burisma's #3 had met with Hunter and Biden where the Biden's negotiated an additional $25K/month for Hunters "compensation", establishing that Joe Biden knew....well of course he did we've got him on tape withholding the funds to get the Ukrainian investigator fired that was investigating Burisma and Hunter! </div><div>Before it ever happened though, many politicians hands were already in the cookie jar:</div><div><br /></div><div>[I]"Remember Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's business partner? He had previously been a top fundraiser for John Kerry, who was Secretary of State at the time. And soon after Devon and Hunter joined the Burisma Board, the company channeled $90,000 to a lobbying firm called ML Strategies, which was headed by none other than David Leiter, John Kerry's former chief of staff.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's handy because then-Secretary of State John Kerry himself has visited Ukraine with promises of U.S. aid and assistance. Well, Leiter registered as a Burisma lobbyist in mid-2014. But in the year leading up to that, he gave close to $60,000 to Democrats, including a [B]select group of U.S. senators who would later be instrumental in pushing cash towards Ukraine's energy sector, directly in line with Burisma's interests.[/B]</div><div><br /></div><div>He donated to Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., four times and to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., three times. A month after the last of those donations, both Markey and Shaheen were among four senators who wrote a letter to President Obama that said, "We should leverage the full resources and expertise of the U.S. government to assist Ukraine in improving its energy efficiency, increasing its domestic production and reforming its energy markets."</div><div>[/I]</div><div><br /></div><div>A few missing details here. Schiff, Kerry, and and several other politicians invested in Burisma through two investment companies, so they knew beforehand that Ukraine's Burisma was going to get the financial aid. The sons of Pelosi, Kerry, and Romney were also involved and "doing business" in Ukraine. </div><div> </div><div>Then there is the missing tie between the Ukrainian gov't and Burisma. Well, Burisma's owner was well connected in Ukrainian gov't, having re-directed gov't funds from Ukraine TWICE and ran off to other countries (but always pardoned under lack of evidence) Burisma was given exclusive exploration and drilling rights despite limits placed upon them for environmental concerns. Ukraine has been long known for "the golden rule" and "pay to play" so this is nothing new. [U]Burisma (and likely other UKR energy companies) sold the Ukrainian gov't junk bonds to get their hands on the billions of US financial aid.</div><div>[/U]</div><div><br /></div><div>In October of 2019, Burisma paid Hunters Seneca Group $900,000 which it recently admitted was for Joe Biden's lobbying efforts. Finally, in November of 2019. Burisma's owner, facing the public fallout from the scam, gathered up $33 million dollars and fled the country once again, this time to Monaco. Joe Biden is also on tape calling Burisma's owner Mykola Zlochevsky a "stand up guy". Dig deeper yet, and you'll find that his former partner who owned 50% interest in Burisma Holdings, Mykola Lisin, a Ukrainian politician, died in a [B]traffic accident[/B] in 2011.</div><div><br /></div><div>[B]So to sum up we've got:</div><div>-Billions in aid, US taxpayer money, going to Ukraine, arranged by those politicians who took advantage.</div><div>-Hunter Biden, and son's of Pelosi and Romney working on energy company boards in Ukraine getting paid ~600 times more than this position would pay a normal Ukrainian. </div><div>-Schiff and many other politicians invested, and receiving "campaign contributions" from the 2 companies investing in Burisma, and Burisma itself. </div><div>-Hunters Seneca group receiving $900,000 which Burisma has admitted was for Joe Biden's lobbying efforts. </div><div>-Mykola Zlochevsky's disappearance, supposedly to Monaco with roughly $33 million dollars. This "stand up guy" is wanted by the Ukrainian gov't for a long list of crimes, fraud, and "theft of government funds on a massive scale".

Antifa’s American insurgency<br />
ROSS CLARK MAY 31, 2020<br />
<br />
We are witnessing glimmers of the full insurrection the far-left has been working toward for decades. The killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis was merely a pre-text for radicals to push their ambitious insurgency. In a matter of hours, after the video of Floyd began circulating the internet, militant antifa cells across the country mobilized to Minnesota to aid Black Lives Matter rioters. Law enforcement and even the state National Guard have struggled to respond in Minnesota.<br />
<br />
Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles, Dallas and Atlanta are just some of the other cities waking up and finding smoldering ruins where businesses once operated. Nearly 30 other cities experienced some form of mass protest or violent rioting. At least three people have been killed so far.<br />
<br />
Antifa, the extreme anarchist-communist movement, has rioting down to an art. The first broken window is the blood in the water for looters to move in. When the looting is done, those carrying flammable chemicals start fires to finish the job. Footage recorded in Minneapolis and other cities show militants dressed in black bloc— the antifa uniform — wielding weapons like hammers or sticks to smash windows. You see their graffiti daubed on smashed up buildings: FTP means **** the Police; ACAB stands for All Cops Are Bastards; 1312 is the numerical code for ACAB.<br />
<br />
Last night, rioters reached the gates of the White House, possibly the most secure location on Earth. There, they chipped away at the barriers piece-by-piece while law enforcement struggled to respond. One Secret Service officer reportedly had a brick thrown at his head. Footage recorded at the scene showed him blood-soaked. Police were eventually able to repel masked rioters by using pepper spray and tear gas. That worked, for now.<br />
<br />
The militants uprising across the country want a revolution and they don’t care who or what has to be destroyed in the process. If their comrades die, they are elevated as martyrs in propaganda. Death is celebrated.<br />
<br />
At its core, BLM is a revolutionary Marxist ideology. Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, BLM’s founders, are self-identified Marxists who make no secret of their worship of communist terrorists and fugitives, like Assata Shakur. They want the abolishment of law enforcement and capitalism. They want regime change and the end of the rule of law. Antifa have partnered with them, for now, to help accelerate the break down of society.<br />
<br />
The US is getting a small preview of the anarchy antifa has been agitating, training and preparing for. Ending law enforcement is a pre-condition for antifa and BLM’s success in monopolizing violence. Those who are harmed first are the weak and vulnerable, the people who cannot protect themselves. Small business owners in Minnesota pleaded for mercy, even putting up signs and messages in support of the rioters, but to no avail.<br />
<br />
<br />
The destruction of businesses we’re witnessing across the US is not mere opportunism by looters. It plays a critical role in antifa and BLM ideology. Their stated goal is to abolish capitalism. To do that, they have to make economic recovery impossible. Antifa sees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to exploit an economically weakened America during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s Going Down, one of the most popular antifa blogs in North America, tweeted on Friday:<br />
<br />
’10 years from now, people won’t look back and ask: “Why did it explode in 2020?” Massive unemployment while the rich rake in billions from tax-cuts + bailouts, the earth on the brink of collapse + police murdering people daily. Instead they’ll ask: “Why didn’t it happen sooner?”‘<br />
<br />
Antifa are taking actions considered extreme even among their own ranks. On Thursday night in Portland, rioters surrounded a vehicle filled with passengers and shot at it, hitting one person inside. The driver was able to escape but the injured passenger had to go to hospital for treatment. In Oakland, two federal police officers guarding a government building were shot in an ambush drive-by. One was killed and the other has critical injuries. The following day in Seattle, masked antifa militants stole a rifle from a police vehicle before setting it ablaze.<br />
<br />
Media, politicians, the public — all of us — have underestimated the training and capability of left-wing extremists, who are united in purpose. All the parts of rioting serve a purpose. Looting and fires destroy local economies. Riots can overwhelm the police and even the military. All of this leads to a destabilized state. America is brave and beautiful. She is not invincible.<br />

So, snore, right? Yup.<br />
<br />
Here's a more shiny object for you then....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are 2 things that I want to address, the title of the topic AND one of the followup responses. First, the topic....Rep. Jordan indicates that Rosenstein didn't have the fortitude to stand up to the "swamp" and ultimately caved in. <br />
<br />
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/06/06/jim-jordan-rosenstein-just-caved-to-the-swamp-with-2017-special-counsel-mueller-appointment/<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Second, in reading some of the responses to the article, one individual who has put this all together, explains what he or she thinks has happened. I will cut and paste "incurablewounds" response here:<br />
<br />
<br />
ABSOLUTELY Rosenstein is the swamp!!!!<br />
<br />
Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together<br />
<br />
It smells like conspiracy and treason. Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important......<br />
<br />
From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.<br />
<br />
A Grand Jury had been impanelled.<br />
<br />
Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.<br />
<br />
Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton <br />
Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest <br />
investigator would be able to figure this out.<br />
<br />
Look who took over this investigation in 2005: None other than <br />
James Comey; Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal <br />
Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other <br />
than, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner. Isn’t that interesting?<br />
<br />
But this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?<br />
<br />
Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?<br />
<br />
No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States,<br />
<br />
Rod Rosenstein.<br />
<br />
Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?<br />
<br />
Another coincidence (just an anomaly in statistics and chances), but it was Robert Mueller.<br />
<br />
What do all four casting characters have in common?<br />
<br />
They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.<br />
<br />
Another coincidence, right?<br />
<br />
Fast forward to 2009....<br />
<br />
James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.<br />
<br />
Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal email server.<br />
<br />
The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of the Hillary.<br />
<br />
Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for <br />
America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve<br />
the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.<br />
<br />
Now you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t, America got absolutely nothing out of it.<br />
<br />
However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton <br />
goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech; then meets with <br />
Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.<br />
<br />
Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.<br />
<br />
Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame? Yep, He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.<br />
<br />
Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland?<br />
<br />
None other than, Rod Rosenstein. And what happened to the informant?<br />
<br />
The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.<br />
<br />
How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of <br />
America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole <br />
providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?<br />
<br />
Very soon after; the sale was approved!~145 million dollars in <br />
“donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities <br />
directly connected to the Uranium One deal.<br />
<br />
Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, - Lois Lerner.<br />
<br />
Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right?<br />
<br />
Let’s fast forward to 2015.<br />
<br />
Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 <br />
“investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy <br />
who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select <br />
Committee on Benghazi discovers that the Hillary ran the State <br />
Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email <br />
server.He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over<br />
when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was <br />
required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret <br />
information contained within her personally archived email.<br />
<br />
Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they <br />
floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that<br />
were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we <br />
shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover<br />
for Hillary. .<br />
<br />
Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? None <br />
other than James Comey; who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer<br />
(Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six<br />
million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer? Amazing<br />
how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?<br />
<br />
Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email <br />
Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner <br />
“Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope....<br />
couldn’t find any crimes there.<br />
<br />
In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of <br />
Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals<br />
like candy.They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury!<br />
<br />
Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a <br />
miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps <br />
out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 8th of <br />
2016, and exonerates the Hillary from any wrongdoing.<br />
<br />
Do you see the pattern?<br />
<br />
It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney <br />
General,Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks<br />
government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian <br />
Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of <br />
malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.<br />
<br />
FISA Abuse, political espionage..... pick a crime, any crime, chances are...... this group and a few others did it:<br />
<br />
All the same players.<br />
<br />
All compromised and conflicted.<br />
<br />
All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves<br />
<br />
All connected in one way or another to the Clinton's.<br />
<br />
They are like battery acid; they corrode and corrupt everything they touch.How many lives have these two destroyed?<br />
<br />
As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of <br />
operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the <br />
history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue <br />
Service.<br />
<br />
Let us not forget that Comey's brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.<br />
<br />
The person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above<br />
and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 <br />
Letter USA Agencies?<br />
<br />
Yep, that would be Hillary R. Clinton.<br />
<br />
Now who is LISA BARSOOMIAN? Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.<br />
<br />
Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller.<br />
<br />
Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.<br />
<br />
Lawrence also represented:<br />
<br />
Robert Mueller three times;<br />
<br />
James Comey five times;<br />
<br />
Barack Obama 45 times;<br />
<br />
Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;<br />
<br />
Bill Clinton 40 times; and<br />
<br />
Hillary Clinton 17 times.<br />
<br />
Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.<br />
<br />
You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?<br />
<br />
Apparently, someone does, because someone out there cares so much<br />
that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton <br />
representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 <br />
from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?). Someone out there <br />
cares so much that even the internet has been “purged” of all <br />
information pertaining to Barsoomian.<br />
<br />
Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected <br />
CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing<br />
Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence <br />
community. Although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases <br />
representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa<br />
Barsoomian at NIH.gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of <br />
Health. This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an <br />
operative by using another government organization to shield their <br />
activities.<br />
<br />
It’s a cover, so big deal right? What does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?<br />
<br />
It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and <br />
aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of <br />
California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the<br />
Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal <br />
and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana <br />
legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending <br />
investigation into collusion between the Trump team and-the Russians.<br />
<br />
Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?<br />
<br />
BECAUSE….<br />
<br />
She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE!<br />
<br />
<br />
*****************************************************************************<br />
<br />
Could be that Barsoomian is a name that will surface from attorney general Barr's investigation....<br />

The Epoch Times<br />
<br />
The belief that Lt. Gen Michael Flynn was set up by the FBI has been backed up by a string of evidence in documents released by the Department of Justice.<br />
<br />
Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in 2017 to one count of lying to the FBI.<br />
<br />
On May 7, however, the DOJ dropped the case against him, saying that when the FBI interviewed Flynn Jan. 24, 2017, the investigation into him was “no longer justifiably predicated” and “seems to have been undertaken only to elicit those very false statements and thereby criminalize Mr. Flynn.”<br />
<br />
The motion to dismiss the case was accompanied by more than a dozen documents substantiating the decision.<br />
<br />
The FBI opened a counterintelligence case on Flynn Aug. 16, 2016. The stated reason was public information that Flynn was an adviser to Trump, had “ties” to some entities “affiliated” with Russia and visited Russia the year before.<br />
<br />
After four months of investigating, the FBI couldn’t find any “derogatory” information on Flynn.<br />
<br />
On Jan. 4, 2017, William Barnett, one of the agents managing the Flynn case, drafted a document to close the case, saying there were no more investigative leads to follow.<br />
<br />
That afternoon, the former head of FBI counterintelligence operations, Peter Strzok, reached out to Flynn’s case manager, urging him to keep the case open. The documents indicate the case manager was likely Barnett. <br />
<br />
Former FBI Director James Comey later said in a meeting with lawmakers that he authorized the closing of the Flynn case, but that it was kept open because the bureau learned about Flynn’s calls with former Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak.<br />
<br />
“I think I had authorized it to be closed at the … end of December, beginning of January. And we kept it open once we became aware of these communications,” Comey told the House Intelligence Committee March 2, 2017. “There were additional steps the investigators wanted to consider.”<br />
<br />
But what steps?<br />
<br />
Flynn’s calls coincided with new sanctions imposed on Russia by former President Barack Obama in late December 2016. Flynn’s lawyers were never given the transcripts of the calls, but the DOJ said he requested from Kislyak “that Russia avoid ‘escalating’ tensions in response to” the sanctions. Russia responded by holding off on its retaliation for several months.<br />
<br />
The morning of Jan. 4, 2017, Lisa Page, special counsel to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Strzok’s mistress, sent an email to former FBI General Counsel James Baker.<br />
<br />
“Code section at question,” the email’s subject read, with “18 USC 953” in the body.<br />
<br />
The number refers to the Logan Act, a 1799 law that prohibits Americans from conducting diplomacy on their own with countries that the United States has a dispute with.<br />
<br />
Less than 10 minutes later, Strzok emailed Page the text of the statute – writing “because I am awesome” – and attached a 2015 document about Logan Act from the Congressional Research Service.<br />
<br />
“All the legislative history they cite does not involve incoming administrations,” he said in the email, quoting from the document that “viability” of the statute may involve “constitutional issues, such as freedom of speech and right to travel.”<br />
<br />
“You are awesome. Thank you,” Page replied, and a few hours later sent the text of the statute to McCabe without any mention of the constitutional issues.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon, Strzok texted another FBI staffer about the need to keep the Flynn case open. <br />
<br />
“We need to decide what to do with him w/r/t (with regards to) the (redacted),” he said.<br />
<br />
The “seventh floor (was) involved,” he said by text, referring to the FBI top leadership.<br />
<br />
But there seemed to be no appetite at the DOJ to pursue a Logan Act violation. No one has ever been convicted of breaking the law, and only two people were ever charged, the last one in 1852.<br />
<br />
Mary McCord, former head of the DOJ’s National Security Division, said she was not thinking about a criminal investigation at the time, according to a report from her July 17, 2017, interview with the FBI and the Special Counsel office.<br />
<br />
“It seemed logical to her that there may be some communications between an incoming administration and their foreign partners, so the Logan Act seemed like a stretch to her,” according to the report from the interview. <br />
<br />
“The feeling among NSD attorneys was Flynn’s behavior was a technical violation of the Logan Act, but they were not sure this would have a lot of jury appeal, or if pursuing it would be a good use of the power of the Justice Department,” according to an Aug.15, 2017, FBI report from an interview with former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.<br />
<br />
“Yates had the impression the FBI was more eager to pursue prosecution initially,” according to the report.<br />
<br />
McCord did call the Kislyak calls “concerning” and Yates labeled them “problematic.” Yet neither of them clearly explained what was “concerning” or “problematic” about them.<br />
<br />
“Indeed, Mr. Flynn’s request that Russia avoid ‘escalating’ tensions in response to U.S. sanctions in an effort to mollify geopolitical tensions was consistent with him advocating for, not against, the interests of the United States,” Timothy Shea, interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, in the motion to dismiss the Flynn case, said. <br />
<br />
In any event, with no Logan Act charge incoming, the Flynn case seemed dead in the water. But it still wasn’t closed. Nobody seems to have provided a good explanation why.<br />
<br />
“Nothing, to my mind, happens until the 13th of January,” Comey told the House committee.<br />
<br />
‘Flood is coming’<br />
<br />
In fact, the week after the scramble to keep the Flynn probe open was one of the most consequential in American history, with national repercussions rippling out for years to come.<br />
<br />
The FBI, and Comey in particular, played a central role.<br />
<br />
On Jan. 6, 2017, Trump was briefed by the former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper as well as the heads of the FBI, National Security Agency and CIA on their “assessment” that Russia meddled in the election. They also said the Kremlin favored Trump in their influence campaign, though the NSA partially dissented from that assessment.<br />
<br />
A declassified version of the report was released the same day, “a virtually unheard-of, real-time revelation by the American intelligence agencies that undermined the legitimacy of the president who is about to direct them,” according to The New York Times.<br />
<br />
As an annex to the assessment was attached a two-page summary of the Steele dossier, a collection of unsubstantiated claims about supposed Trump-Russia collusion.<br />
<br />
The dossier was supposedly written by Christopher Steele, a former British spy. He was paid through intermediaries by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of former State Secretary Hillary Clinton. Both Steele and his employers had for months peddled the dossier to the media, the FBI, the State Department, the DOJ and Congress.<br />
<br />
Right after the Jan. 6 meeting, Comey privately briefed Trump on the most salacious allegation from the dossier. He didn’t give him the summary.<br />
<br />
“I said there was something that Clapper wanted me to speak to PE (President-elect) about alone or in a very small group,” Comey said about the meeting in an email Jan. 7, 2017, to senior FBI leadership, according to a May 21, 2018, release by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.<br />
<br />
“I then executed the session exactly as I had planned,” Comey said, adding, “I said media like CNN had them (the dossier content) and were looking for a news hook.”<br />
<br />
As it seems, the FBI was aware that information about the Trump-Comey briefing was in fact the hook CNN would use.<br />
<br />
“Flood is coming,” McCabe said Jan. 8, 2017, in the subject of an email to senior FBI leadership.<br />
<br />
“CNN is close to going forward with the sensitive story. … The trigger for them (CNN) is they know the material was discussed in the brief and presented in an attachment,” he said in the email.<br />
<br />
Less than an hour later, McCabe emailed Yates and then-Principal Deputy Attorney General Matthew Axelrod with the subject line “News.”<br />
<br />
“Just an FYI, and as expected, it seems CNN is close to running a story about the sensitive reporting,” he said.<br />
<br />
On Jan. 10, 2017, Strzok wrote to other senior FBI officials, “Per Rich, CNN to publish C material today between 4 and 5.”<br />
<br />
That afternoon, CCN ran a story saying (incorrectly) that Trump was presented with a “two-page synopsis” of the dossier during the Jan. 6 briefing. Shortly after, BuzzFeed released one of the versions of the dossier itself.<br />
<br />
Within hours, the collusion narrative was imprinted on much of the nation’s psyche. More leaks were coming that would build on that foundation.<br />
<br />
On Jan. 12, 2017, The Washington Post’s David Ignatius published a column where he said a “senior U.S. government official” told him that Flynn called Kislyak multiple times Jan. 29, 2016. Ignatius suggested that if Flynn talked about the Russia sanctions, he may have violated the “spirit” of the Logan Act. Other media followed with their own stories, repeating the Logan Act narrative.<br />
<br />
Under the enormous pressure to distance themselves from anything Russia-related, several Trump team members, including the incoming Vice President Mike Pence, questioned Flynn about the calls. Flynn said he didn’t talk about sanctions and that’s what the team told the media.<br />
<br />
The calls “had nothing whatsoever to do with the sanctions,” Pence told CBS News Jan. 15, 2017, in an interview the network almost wholly dedicated to questions about Russia.<br />
<br />
With this denial, the FBI effectively had Flynn trapped. The officials knew that Pence, a man known for closely guarding his reputation, told a lie on national television and that Flynn was responsible.<br />
<br />
Yates and some others from the intelligence community wanted to inform the Trump team of Flynn’s predicament, she said. Her take was that the lie made Flynn “compromised” because the Russians would know he lied.<br />
<br />
It would have possibly led to Flynn’s firing, but the outcome was uncertain. After all, Trump held Flynn in high regard.<br />
<br />
Comey seemed aware that the “compromise” angle was weak.<br />
<br />
It was “possible,” he testified, that the lie made Flynn blackmailable, but “that struck me as a bit of a reach, though, honestly,” he said.<br />
<br />
Comey blocked the idea of informing the White House. The Kislyak transcripts were the FBI’s information and he had the last word on who gets it, Yates said.<br />
<br />
Instead, Comey had a more ambitious plan – to have Flynn interviewed by his agents.<br />
<br />
“For some reason (Flynn) hasn’t been candid with the Vice President about this,” Comey explained the need for the interview. “My judgment was we could not close the investigation of Mr. Flynn without asking him what is the deal here. That was the purpose.”<br />
<br />
Yet, if the bureau really wanted to know why Flynn may have lied to Pence, it took step after step that seemed to defeat that purpose.<br />
<br />
The officials didn’t plan at all to confront Flynn about what he told Pence. They instead went to great lengths to cast the interview as a friendly chat between fellow government officials. If Flynn was to say something they knew wasn’t true, the agents would ask again, slipping in some words from the call transcripts, Strzok later told the FBI and the Special Counsel office. If Flynn didn’t catch on, they wouldn’t press again. They were not to confront Flynn about any discrepancies directly or show him the transcripts.<br />
<br />
This approach didn’t sit well with Bill Priestap, former FBI head of counterintelligence.<br />
<br />
“What’s our goal? Truth/Admission or to – get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” he said in his notes dated Jan. 24, 2017, arguing the team should “rethink” its approach.<br />
<br />
“We regularly show subjects evidence. With the goal of getting them to admit their wrongdoing,” he said. “I don’t see how getting someone to admit their wrongdoing is going easy on him.”<br />
<br />
The bureau was risking its reputation, he said.<br />
<br />
“If we’re seen as playing games, WH (White House) will be furious. Protect our institution by not playing games,” he said in his notes.<br />
<br />
His concerns were dismissed. What’s more, Comey went forward with the interview without consulting or even informing the DOJ, which later angered Yates, she said.<br />
<br />
When McCabe called Flynn Jan. 24, 2017, to set up the interview, Flynn readily agreed to have the agents over for a talk about the Kislyak calls. He said that the FBI probably already knew what was said anyway.<br />
<br />
“You listen to everything they (Russian representatives) say,” Flynn said, according to McCabe’s notes from that day.<br />
<br />
McCabe said he told Flynn he wanted the interview done “as quickly, quietly and discretely as possible.” If Flynn wanted anybody to sit in, such as one of the White House lawyers, the DOJ would have to be involved, McCabe told him.<br />
<br />
It was some “egregious” behavior, according to Marc Ruskin, a 27-year FBI veteran and Epoch Times contributor.<br />
<br />
“To affirmatively go ahead and say that you don’t need to have an attorney present really goes beyond the bounds of anything that most agents in the past would have considered an acceptable behavior,” he said in a phone call.<br />
<br />
Still, Flynn agreed to talk to the agents alone.<br />
<br />
About two hours later, Strzok and Supervisory Special Agent Joe Pientka showed up at the West Wing of the White House for the interview.<br />
<br />
Flynn was “relaxed and jocular” with the agents, “unguarded” during the interview and “clearly saw the FBI agents as allies,” Strzok later said.<br />
<br />
As part of the rather sprawling interview, Flynn denied talking to Kislyak about sanctions. The agents asked again: Did he ask for Russia to not engage in “tit-for-tat?”<br />
<br />
He seemed less sure. <br />
<br />
“Not really. I don’t remember. It wasn’t, ‘Don’t do anything,’” he said, according to the agents’ report from the interview and their notes. <br />
<br />
Flynn said in a Jan. 29 declaration to court he still doesn’t remember talking to Kislyak about sanctions.<br />
<br />
“I told the agents that tit-for-tat is a phrase I use, which suggests that the topic of sanctions could have been raised,” he said.<br />
<br />
The FBI and the DOJ seemed none the wiser after the interview.<br />
<br />
The agents came back with the impression “that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying,” Strzok said.<br />
<br />
“Do you believe that Mr. Flynn lied?” Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., asked Comey during the committee meeting.<br />
<br />
“I don’t know. I think there is an argument to be made that he lied. It is a close one,” he replied.<br />
<br />
DOJ prosecutors were skeptical that Flynn just didn’t remember, according to Yates. They asked the FBI if it wanted to interview Flynn again – a common practice in cases where it seems the interviewee lacked candor.<br />
<br />
But the FBI not only didn’t want another interview, but Yates “recalled them being pretty emphatic about it,” the report from her interview said. She said she didn’t know why.<br />
<br />
Despite previously insisting on the opposite, Comey was suddenly all for informing the White House of Flynn’s situation.<br />
<br />
He “said it was a great idea” for Yates to talk to the White House counsel, “and agreed a ‘lawyer to lawyer’ talk made sense,” according to Yates.<br />
<br />
Yates and McCord met with Don McGahn, former White House counsel, and his associate Jan. 26, 2017. They told them that Flynn lied to Pence and that the FBI interviewed him in the White House two days before.<br />
<br />
McCord described McGahn as “shocked” by the news. Flynn was fired two weeks later.<br />

<br />
Not because it's this predatory place of "religious Cult", but quite the opposite.<br />
<br />
A.A. has been infiltrated by liberal left leaning Democrap atheisitic radical Snowflake feeley touchy Antifa loving George Soros loving adult-children, that I just figured to give up, and guess what?<br />
<br />
I'm better off and I annoy them because although they already have destroyed the Blamestream Lamestream Fakestream mainstream media, Hollywood, the NFL, SNL, academia, the "intelligence" agency, a slight majority in the House of Representatives, and even some RINOs in the Senate, they want more.<br />
<br />
I walked away, turned my station, and pissed them off.<br />
<br />
For example, Nancy Pelosi, first she was Russian for Impeachment, now she's just Stalin.<br />
<br />
Keep this in mind, your President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, has the lowest approval rating in the History of Approval Ratings... for Radical Islamist Terrorists.<br />
<br />
:)<br />
<br />
Have a nice day.<br />
<br />
Oh, my old buddy from A.A. who was/is also an author of this blog, the reason we had a falling out is because I told him about my politics. He told me his thoughts about that President in the White House and other politicians to his credit. Then I told him he might as well start hating on me because according to "his" people, I'm a white racist homophobic misogynistic xenophobic redneck. Then he told me how America did in fact create this nation on shame and genocide and etc. and blah blah blah… then I set him straight with some facts... which I'll include down below, then he pretty much told me we should no longer speak.<br />
<br />
I'm fine with that. …<br />
<br />
Here's a History Lesson for Y'all…<br />
<br />
Who started the Republican Party? Abraham Lincoln. The Democratic Party? In 1820, Andrew Jackson.<br />
<br />
Jackson screwed over the Native Americans for the Democrats’ vote – Indian Removal Bill.<br />
<br />
National Republican Senator Frelinghuysen opposed taking Indian land by violence. National Republican Congressman Davy Crockett also opposed this.<br />
<br />
Democrats passed it, Jackson signed it into law.<br />
<br />
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French observer of Early American History describes the air of destruction of most celebrated and ancient American Peoples a “Trail of Tears.”<br />
<br />
Besides stealing land of the Indians, Democrats also embraced slavery on plantations.<br />
Jackson owned hundreds of slaves. He had Betty receive 50 lashes for washing neighbors’ clothes without his permission.<br />
Jackson, in 1804, ran an add for the return of a runaway slave, offering $50.00 for the return, and $10.00 for each 100 lashings, up to 300 lashings, essentially a death sentence.<br />
Jackson didn’t just steal their labor. He raped young women.<br />
<br />
Republicans formed to end slavery and to free runaway slaves.<br />
<br />
John C. Calhoun was one of the most notorious Democratic defenders (and Senator) of slavery. He said that slavery benefited both parties.<br />
<br />
Today, Democrats duck responsibility by trying to blame the South. But Northern Democrats tried to protect slavery. One such advocate was Illinois Senator Steven Douglass. He thought each state should decide for/against slavery. He wanted slavery all over the world, not just here.<br />
<br />
Republicans wanted to end the spread of slavery. Republican Senator Charles Sumner (1856) denounced slavery. <br />
Preston Brooks, Democratic Congressman, physically attacked him from behind with a cane, nearly killing him.<br />
Lincoln considered slavery a “form of theft.”<br />
“You work, I eat.”<br />
Democratic Propaganda states the Civil War as being a contest between anti-Slavery North vs. the pro-Slavery South. This is a lie. The Civil War was about a war between the Abolitionists and those who wanted Slavery.<br />
Lincoln said, “The judgment of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”<br />
<br />
But didn’t some Republicans own slaves? No. All the slaves at the time of the Civil War were owned by Democrats.<br />
<br />
So, the Civil War is best known as a contest between the anti-slavery Republican Party and the Pro-Slavery Democratic Party.<br />
<br />
Lincoln wanted to give freed slaves citizenship, equal rights, and the right to vote.<br />
The Democrats couldn’t believe it.<br />
Lincoln was assassinated.<br />
<br />
Democratic Party Legacy: <br />
Oppression<br />
Indian Massacres<br />
Broken Treaties<br />
Slavery<br />
But they claim to be the party of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.<br />
But that was just an Act. There already was a Civil Rights Movement lead by the Republican Party from back in the 1860s.<br />
<br />
The 1960s Act merely tried to claim laws that were already put into the Constitution 100 years previously by the, that’s right, Republicans.<br />
A little known fact, more Republicans than Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.<br />
Today’s Democrats take credit for Civil Rights legislation.<br />
So what’s their contribution? They finally agreed to stop filibustering it so it could pass.<br />
<br />
“40 Acres and a Mule”<br />
The Republican Party set aside 400,000 acres of confiscated Confederate land and began dividing it to give freed slaves 40 acres and a left-over army mule.<br />
Democratic President Andrew Johnson gave the land back to its former plantation owners.<br />
<br />
Democrats claim to be the “Party of Economic Opportunity”, but they opposed the 13th Amendment.<br />
Slavery Abolishment: Republicans were 100% for, Democrats were 77% against.<br />
Democrats claim to be the Party of “Social Justice”, but they fought the 14th Amendment, which gives citizenship to Blacks and established equality of rights under the law. <br />
14th Amendment: Republicans 94% for, Democrats 0% for.<br />
Democrats lecture Republicans over Racial Equality.<br />
Racial Equality: the Democrats voted against the 15th Amendment, refusing to give slaves the right to vote.<br />
15th Amendment: Republicans 100% for, Democrats 100% against.<br />
Republicans also gave women the right to vote. Suffragettes were virtually all Republican, Democrats opposed Suffragettes. They fought it and lost in Congress. Then they fought it in the States where they lost again.<br />
<br />
Democrats New Plan: Carol Swain from Vanderbilt Law School is an expert on Race Relations and Civil Rights; After Civil War in 1865, the Democratic Party was in ruins and they needed a New Plan.<br />
The Ku Klux Klan was founded by Nathan Bedford Forrest. He was the first Grand Wizard and a pledged delegate to the Democratic Convention.<br />
The whole purpose of the Democratic Party was to reestablish White Supremacy.<br />
1868, the party platform was “This is a white man’s country, let a white man rule.”<br />
Black Republicans and White Republicans were its targets.<br />
Congressman James Hinds was the first sitting member of Congress assassinated. <br />
During the Klans’ long reign of terror, they killed over 3,000 blacks and over 1,000 white Republicans.<br />
The Ku Klux Klan was the military arm of the Democratic Party.<br />
<br />
Why has all of this been swept under the rug? To cover the tracks of the Democratic Party.<br />
<br />
The violence of racism carried well into the 20th Century, at other times, it merely changed forms.<br />
<br />
Ida B. Wells refused to give up her 1st Class train seat to a white man. She was a Republican, working for a Republican paper. She fought for a Black Man’s 2nd Amendment right and wanted a Winchester in their home to defend themselves against the KKK.<br />
<br />
Early Democrats opposition to the 2nd Amendment had a racist motive. In fact, almost every thing they did had a racist motive.<br />
<br />
Why did the KKK have a revival in the early 20th Century? <br />
Another fan of the KKK was President Woodrow Wilson. “The Birth of a Nation” by D.W. Griffith, -the first movie screened in the White House.<br />
<br />
In 1914, Ida B. Wells confronted Woodrow Wilson for his racist views.<br />
She called him out for removing black officials from top jobs and putting them in menial jobs, janitors, etc.<br />
He said segregation is good for both.<br />
He continued to segregate the Federal Government.<br />
<br />
1924: Democratic National Convention: “The Klan Bake”<br />
10s of 1000s of Klansmen marched on New York City shouting racist slogans and burning crosses to celebrate the Democratic Party’s refusal to condemn the KKK in their platform.<br />
<br />
The New Deal:<br />
FDR didn’t have the votes to pass the New Deal program, so he promised the Democratic Party that he would block any anti-lynching legislation and he would exclude blacks from most New Deal programs.<br />
White farmers were paid to not grow crops which meant many Blacks lost their jobs.<br />
So most blacks, if they worked on the land, if they worked as maids, if they were paid in cash, they couldn’t get Social Security.<br />
Johnson knew he had the Black vote, but privately, he knew the Black voters outnumbered the White voters in Texas.<br />
Called the Negro Bill, he said, “We got to give them just enough but not enough to make a difference.”<br />
Democrats are still trying to use Black Peoples’ vote for their own gain.<br />
<br />
Deny, Deny, Deny, Shift Blame, Shift Blame, Shift Blame. That’s all they do.<br />
<br />
Bill Mahr: “If you are racist, you’re probably a Republican.”<br />
<br />
The Big Switch:<br />
Senator Strom Thurmond was a racist Democrat who became a Republican.<br />
But wait a minute. The Blacks switched to the Democratic Party in the 1930s, based on the promises of the New Deal.<br />
They didn’t do it due to Race. They knew they were joining the party of the KKK and the party of segregation.<br />
Southern Whites moved over to the Republican Party much later, during the 1970s to 90s, as the South became much more prosperous.<br />
Racism had declined dramatically in the South. So as the South became less racist, it became more Republican.<br />
So Blacks and Whites switched parties for economic reasons.<br />
The proof of this is in Byron Shafer and Richard Johnson’s book, “The End of Southern Exceptionalism.” It shows the poorest, most racist Whites never switched.<br />
The Whites that did switch from Democrats to Republicans, “were the non-racists, who were attracted to the Republican Party’s message of opportunity, prosperity, and upward mobility.”<br />
<br />
So, besides Strom Thurmond, who else switched from Democrat to Republican?<br />
Leaders of the KKK?<br />
Leaders of other racist organizations?<br />
Democratic Congressmen?<br />
Democratic Senators from 1860-2000?<br />
All who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964?<br />
14 of 1600, so less than 1%<br />
<br />
The Big Switch is a Big Lie.<br />
<br />
The Democrats didn’t switch from being the Bad Guys to the Good Guys, the simply found a new and better scam.<br />
<br />
Millions of Southern Blacks moved north, joined by millions of immigrants, from all over the world. So the Democrats got an idea; Let’s recreate the plantation, but now do it in the inner city.<br />
Obama- Dreams from my Father, “Seemed like we’d always be second-class citizens. Plantation Politics.” So evidently, Plantation talk was coming from Barack’s dad.<br />
Black people in the worst jobs, worst housing, police brutality rampant, but when the so-called black committeemen came around election time… “We’d all line up and vote the Straight Democratic Ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas Turkey. White folks spitting in our faces, and we’d reward them with a vote.”<br />
So what has Obama done to get rid of the Democratic Plantation? Nothing. <br />
That’s because he’s running it.<br />
These plantations weren’t just for Blacks, they were also for other minorities and immigrants.<br />
When these groups arrived, they found waiting for them a Democratic Welcoming Committee.<br />
They helped them out, got them a place to live, got them jobs.<br />
The immigrant plantation had their own names; ghettoes, slums, barrios.<br />
Welcome to America!<br />
The Democrats built them, put these vulnerable people in them, and made sure no one left them.<br />
Nothing’s free. They made sure these folks voted for them.<br />
<br />
Gangs have bosses who control them. The Democrats invented the “Big City” Boss.<br />
They didn’t just control politics, they also controlled industry, Unions.<br />
Once in power, they steal the city treasury and shake-down businesses.<br />
This makes them the “Original Community Organizers.”<br />
Inner City racket.<br />
Research Richard J. Daley<br />
Johah Goldberg is an editor at the National Review. “Democrats used to like to be called Liberals.”<br />
Today, it’s Progressive. What does Progressive mean? Social engineering, social control.<br />
U.S. : Progressivism<br />
USSR: Communism<br />
Italy: Fascism<br />
<br />
The Holocaust started off as progressive ideas, experimentation, planning, eugenics. <br />
<br />
Margaret Sanger – Silver Lake New Jersey 1926. – Planned Parenthood.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
in short, I think he's just so shamed and stuffed with deep seated resentment because deep down in his gizzards, he knows what many duped democrats know, especially those minorities and immigrants who were pimped out by the "Democrat" elite who traded their crumbs and broken promises for a vote.<br />
<br />
For a vote! <br />
<br />
Meditate or Chair Yoga on that for a month or two.McGowdoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866948381728741656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-7590143997433399412020-01-04T14:24:00.000-07:002020-01-04T14:24:29.971-07:00Sober 16 years today and still don't want to drink a bourbon and coke...Sixteen years sober, took me 26 or 36 years to get it, depending on how you look at it.<br />
<br />
I have a host of friends. I am not a prey to misery and depression. I am employable and have a satisfying career, I am making a living. I am of use to people.<br />
<br />
I've not gone to A.A. but about one time a year over the last few or several years, sort of forget exactly. When I do go to that meeting, it's my old homegroup which is still a great place with solid A.A. stepworkers. One guy has bad ALS over the last several years and still rides his bike to the meeting. He had to trade his Harley in for a Harley trike. It's pretty cool.<br />
<br />
But, I had to leave. It is not for me now. If what I'm doing stops working, I know where to go back to. Haven't needed it so far. <br />
<br />
I used to have drunk dreams, or nightmares if you will. Now I have occasional A.A. dreams, or nightmares if you will. In this dream, I dream I went back to A.A., then wake up in a cold sweat, then say, "Ah, I'm still sober... and still free from meetings! Thank God, it was just a dream."<br />

I’d ask you now where you stand with these questions today… and what you’re doing spiritually to treat them or how has God blessed you already in these areas;<br />
• We were having trouble with personal relationships<br />
• We couldn’t control our emotional natures<br />
• We were a prey to misery and depression<br />
• We couldn’t make a living<br />
• We had a feeling of uselessness<br />
• We were full of fear<br />
• We were unhappy<br />
• We couldn’t seem to be of real help to other people<br />
It may be that you’ve recently been through a set of steps and God has restored you and given you power in these areas and given you solutions to these problems.<br />
<br />
Or maybe you’re like me and been through a set of steps and see some issues still lingering here.<br />
<br />
My question is what’s your current or recent experience in these areas and what are some examples where God’s taken you to better things.<br />
<br />
• We were having trouble with personal relationships<br />
Well, I’m kind of new to this Thing, this Entity that we all call God. I either forget that God has me and the world in His best interest and that He already knows what my purpose in life is and how I can best serve the world. I’ve offered myself to God in the 3rd Step and asked God to take away my difficulties. Do I remain in this proper “relation” to God? Well no, not exactly. I lack faith. I rely on self and go to fear. When I don’t sense God, I go back to playing God. And as the book says, “It didn’t work”. I forget that from time to time.<br />
Relationship with self. A little too much, if you know what I mean.<br />
Relationship with spouse/significant other; It may be that you’re so situated that you’re widowed or single or dating or married. I’m married, so… my experience tells me that I could use God’s guidance in this area. Sex; she’s not at her “optimum weight for me, I’m no 22 year old stud, so it could be better. We have all this exercise equipment, but it collects dust. At minimal, we could go for walks together and eat healthier. Or I could sweep it under the rug and bitch about it in inventory later this year. Could be worse. Somehow, I’m missing how God could help me in this area. Advice from others has always sucked really hard. Advice from others’ has not shed one once from her ass, nor has it shed a pound of fat off my gut. At least the spouse still wants to spend time with me. We’ve come a pretty good way in 9 years, but she makes 3 times what I do. I’m the Man here! I’m supposed to be the King of the Castle. More on this later.<br />
Relationship with my spiritual peers; I go to lunch on Friday, but not so much fellowship with guys around my 5 years of sobriety. I have opportunity for this with another group, but it’s too social and not enough spiritual. I do, after all, have a wife to go home to. I need to work out a compromise with my peers and wear the pants with the wife too.<br />
• We couldn’t control our emotional natures<br />
In a meeting on Friday, I yelled at my boss and he told me to clear out my desk and go home. So I did. Then 15 minutes later, he apologized and owned up to his part and asked me to go back to work. My emotional nature seemed to spike that morning and I started with rage and wound up with self-pity. I spent the rest if the weekend in fear, but I’ve got my resume handy. I guess I could use God in this area.<br />
• We were a prey to misery and depression<br />
I’m not big on misery and depression, that I’m aware of. Despite the current worldly situation, I’ve got a job to go to and I’ve got my bills to date; albeit sometimes 2 weeks late. I’m well fed, clothed good enough, have pretty good health, and am working with a new man who’s in step 4 and hangin’ in there with going to meetings. I don’t do much other service work but I’ve got a pretty good balance of AA, seeking God through steps 10, 11, and 12, family, recreation, hobbies, chores, etc. If I get off my otherwise lazy ass and do something, I’m pretty content and happy.<br />
• We couldn’t make a living<br />
Well I don’t make any less money than I did two years ago, but I don’t think I’ve earned a pay raise nor have I received a review in two years. I’ve been here for over 5 years now. Year before last I got a big bonus, but this year, I spent the 100 bucks buying the Boss’s family Christmas gifts. It was a wash. My bills have increased in amount and I don’t make no more money. I have credit dept. It’s holding steady, but look at the money I’m throwing away there. The wife makes 3 times what I do. Who wears the fucking pants here? According to our salaries, I wear the fucking dress and ought to be in the fucking kitchen making her pot fucking pie. If it weren’t for her, I’d be poor. Then again, I pay near 50% of the bills and she drives the better car and has the bigger savings, checking, and retirement account. If it weren’t for her, I’d have no fucking medical insurance. Thank God she’s willing to help me. I should pray to her every night. She’s become my sugar-momma-God. <br />
• We had a feeling of uselessness<br />
My company is a small and growing company. We’ve slowed in our business and I’ve been trying to find ways to charge money and bring in capital for my expertise. We used to make the bulk of our money off flooring installs, but other companies are so broke, they ain’t buying new floors. I need to get creative here find a way to “carry my own weight”. I could use God’s help in this area.<br />
• We were full of fear<br />
I’m getting a little pissed watching the stock market slide and unemployment grow. Where’s the fucking bottom? We haven’t been living high on the hog for a couple of years now. What if I lose my job or my wife loses her job? Yeah, fear. It’s bad enough when I have to look at my own family, but what about our city, state, country, global economy? God does not intend for us to live in fear. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. I want to not suffer, and I ain’t crazy about pain. Need I just wake up, show up, put the gloves on and ask, “How can I help?”<br />
• We were unhappy<br />
I’ve been pretty darned spoiled, to be honest. I look at my oldest brother Chris, who’s a paranoid schizophrenic. He hears voices, smokes a cigarette every 3 minutes and slams Dr Peppers and coffee and takes his strong medication every day just to function. It seems like he’s existing to breathe tobacco smoke, ingest caffeine and mood altering meds, pace the floors in a ritual manner, and once in a while, reminisce about something that’s happened 50 years ago. I’m glad to just be an alcoholic who hasn’t lost his mind yet. Then there’s my nephew who’s back in prison for using meth, stealing a woman’s purse, and dragging her 50 yards with his car as she tried to reach into it to grab her purse back from him. He was supposedly “spun out” for about 8 days straight when it happened.<br />
• We couldn’t seem to be of real help to other people<br />
Well I show up at meetings and share my experience with the topic and stuff… I’m glad that I belong to a strong group that does all 12 steps, but our group has seen no new members that have stayed longer than about 2 meetings. I’m the newest member of our small meeting of 4 or 5 or six people. My five years is it! I’m the newcomer! I’ve had to send new guys I meet to our rival group for one reason or another. What the fuck is wrong with this picture? Why can’t we work with a guy who’s taking meds for manic-depressive? Why do women ask if we’re a stag group? Is it me? Is it the group as a whole? Could we use God in this area?<br />
<br />
Anyway… Just looking for a topic that will challenge our little group a bit tonight.<br />

<br />
What happened over there? Did Terry snuff or something. Hope not. That would break my fucking heart or something.<br />
<br />
Anywho, I went to the bottom of the page to see when it was last updated. 2016 or something.<br />
<br />
Here's what I found at the bottom from some dork who decided to "keep the site going."<br />
<br />

<br />
I AM NOT ORANGE - I just preserved the site when orange-papers.org disappeared.<br />
<br />
The Facebook groups named after the Orange Papers are moderated by crusty jackboot nazis who like to shun and ban just as readily as any asshole stepper. I do not recommend associating with the Orange Papers group on Facebook or "Leaving AA." Pretty much, youll find new friends and find support, then be banned for no fucking reason -- you've been warned. They even banned me for christs sake. Get a therapist, get a dog, find people on meetup.com with common interests, literally do anything but interact with evangelical steppers or evangelical EX steppers, they are ALL miserable worthless cunts.<br />
<br />
Don't e-mail me with corrections or gripes, I didn't write this content, it's not mine to curate or take over, and arguing about whether or not AA "works" or is a wacky cult is more boring to me than Christians and atheists arguing on Usenet thirty years ago. I have a life, fuck off, I won't answer your email.<br />

<br />
So has the second special prosecutor phase of the coup to abort the Trump presidency failed. There are many elements to what in time likely will become recognized as the greatest scandal in American political history, marking the first occasion in which U.S. government bureaucrats sought to overturn an election and to remove a sitting U.S. president.<br />
<br />
Preparing the Battlefield<br />
No palace coup can take place without the perception of popular anger at a president.<br />
<br />
The deep state is by nature cowardly. It does not move unless it feels it can disguise its subterranean efforts or that, if revealed, those efforts will be seen as popular and necessary—as expressed in tell-all book titles such as fired FBI Directors James Comey’s Higher Loyalty or in disgraced Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s psychodramatic The Threat.<br />
<br />
In candidate and President Trump’s case that prepping of the battlefield translated into a coordinated effort among the media, political progressives and celebrities to so demonize Trump that his imminent removal likely would appear a relief to the people. Anything was justified that led to that end.<br />
<br />
All through the 2016 campaign and during the first two years of the Trump presidency the media’s treatment, according to liberal adjudicators of press coverage, ran about 90 percent negative toward Trump—a landmark bias that continues today.<br />
<br />
Journalists themselves consulted with the Clinton campaign to coordinate attacks. From the Wikileaks trove, journalistic grandees such as John Harwood, Mark Leibovich, Dana Milbank, and Glenn Thrush often communicated (and even post factum were unapologetic about doing so) with John Podesta’s staff to construct various anti-Trump themes and have the Clinton campaign review or even audit them in advance.<br />
<br />
Some contract “journalists” apparently were paid directly by Fusion GPS—created by former reporters Glen Simpson of the Wall Street Journal and Susan Schmidt of the Washington Post—to spread lurid stories from the dossier. Others more refined like Christiane Amanpour and James Rutenberg had argued for a new journalistic ethos that partisan coverage was certainly justified in the age of Trump, given his assumed existential threat to The Truth. Or as Rutenberg put it in 2016: “If you view a Trump presidency as something that’s potentially dangerous, then your reporting is going to reflect that. You would move closer than you’ve ever been to being oppositional. That’s uncomfortable and uncharted territory for every mainstream, non-opinion journalist I’ve ever known, and by normal standards, untenable. But the question that everyone is grappling with is: Do normal standards apply? And if they don’t, what should take their place?”<br />
<br />
I suppose Rutenberg never considered that half the country might have considered the Hillary Clinton presidency “potentially dangerous,” and yet did not expect the evening news, in 90 percent of its coverage, to reflect such suspicions.<br />
<br />
The Democratic National Committee’s appendages often helped to massage CNN news coverage—such as Donna Brazile’s primary debate tip-off to the Clinton campaign or CNN’s consultation with the DNC about forming talking points for a scheduled Trump interview.<br />
<br />
So-called “bombshell,” “watershed,” “turning-point,” and “walls closing in” fake news aired in 24-hour news bulletin cycles. The media went from fabrications about Trump’s supposed removal of the bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office, to the mythologies in the Steele dossier, to lies about the Trump Tower meeting, to assurances that Michael Cohen would testify to Trump’s suborning perjury, and on and on.<br />
<br />
CNN soon proved that it is no longer a news organization at all—as reporters like Gloria Borger, Chris Cuomo, Eric Lichtblau, Manu Raju, Brian Rokus, Jake Tapper, Jeff Zeleny, and teams such as Jim Sciutto, Carl Bernstein, and Marshall Cohen as well as Thomas Frank, and Lex Harris all trafficked in false rumors and unproven gossip detrimental to Trump, while hosts and guest hosts such as Reza Aslan, the late Anthony Bourdain, and Anderson Cooper stooped to obscenity and grossness to attack Trump.<br />
<br />
Both politicos and celebrities tried to drive Trump’s numbers down to facilitate some sort of popular ratification for his removal. Hollywood and the coastal corridor punditry exhausted public expressions of assassinating or injuring the president, as the likes of Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp, Robert de Niro, Peter Fonda, Kathy Griffin, Madonna, Snoop Dogg, and a host of others vied rhetorically to slice apart, shoot, beat up, cage, behead, and blow up the president.<br />
<br />
Left wing social media and mainstream journalism spread sensational lies about supposed maniacal Trump supporters in MAGA hats. They constructed fantasies that veritable white racists were now liberated to run amuck insulting and beating up people of color as they taunted the poor and victimized minorities with vicious Trump sloganeering—even as the Covington farce and now the even more embarrassing Jussie Smollett charade evaporated without apologies from the media and progressive merchants of such hate.<br />
<br />
At the same time, liberal attorneys, foundations, Democratic politicians, and progressive activists variously sued to overturn the election on false charges of rigged voting machines. They sought to subvert the Electoral College. They introduced articles of impeachment. They sued to remove Trump under the Emoluments Clause. They attempted to invoke the 25th Amendment. And they even resurrected the ossified Logan Act—before focusing on the appointment of a special counsel to discredit the Trump presidency. Waiting for the 2020 election was seen as too quaint.<br />
<br />
Weaponizing the Deep State<br />
During the 2016 election, the Obama Department of Justice warped the Clinton email scandal investigation, from Bill Clinton’s secret meeting on an airport tarmac with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, to unethical immunity given to the unveracious Clinton aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, to James Comey’s convoluted predetermined treatment of “likely winner” Clinton, and to DOJ’s Bruce Ohr’s flagrant conflict of interests in relation to Fusion GPS.<br />
<br />
About a dozen FBI and DOJ grandees have now resigned, retired, been fired, or reassigned for unethical and likely illegal behavior—and yet have not faced criminal indictments. The reputation of the FBI as venerable agency is all but wrecked. Its administrators variously have libeled the Trump voters, expressed hatred for Trump, talked of “insurance policies” in ending the Trump candidacy, and inserted informants into the Trump campaign.<br />
<br />
The former Obama directors of the CIA and National Intelligence, with security clearances intact, hit the television airways as paid “consultants” and almost daily accused the sitting president of Russian collusion and treason—without cross-examination or notice that both previously had lied under oath to Congress (and did so without subsequent legal exposure), and both were likely knee-deep in the dissemination of the Steele dossier among Obama administration officials.<br />
<br />
John Brennan’s CIA likely helped to spread the Fusion GPS dossier among elected and administrative state officials. Some in the NSC in massive and unprecedented fashion requested the unmasking of surveilled names of Trump subordinates, and then illegally leaked them to the press.<br />
<br />
The FISA courts, fairly or not, are now mostly discredited, given they either were willingly or naively hoodwinked by FBI and DOJ officials who submitted as chief evidence for surveillance on American citizens, an unverified dossier—without disclosure that the bought campaign hit-piece was paid for by Hillary Clinton, authored by a discredited has-been British agent, relied on murky purchased Russian sources, and used in circular fashion to seed news accounts of supposed Trump misbehavior.<br />
<br />
The Mueller Investigation<br />
The Crown Jewel in the coup was the appointment of special counsel Robert Muller to discover supposed 2016 Trump-Russian election collusion. Never has any special investigation been so ill-starred from its conception.<br />
<br />
Mueller’s appointment was a result of his own friend James Comey’s bitter stunt of releasing secret, confidential and even classified memos of presidential conversations. Acting DOJ Attorney Rod Rosenstein appointed a former colleague Mueller—although as a veteran himself of the Clinton email scandal investigations and the FISA fraudulent writ requests, Rosenstein was far more conflicted than was the recused Attorney General Jeff Sessions.<br />
<br />
Mueller then packed his investigative team with lots of Clinton donors and partisans, some of whom had legally represented Clinton subordinates and even the Clinton Foundation or voiced support for anti-Trump movements.<br />
<br />
Mueller himself and Andrew Weissmann have had a long record of investigatory and prosecutorial overreach that had on occasion resulted in government liability and court mandated federal restitution. In such polarized times, neither should have involved in such an investigation. Two subordinate FBI investigators were caught earlier on conducting an affair over their FBI-issued cell phones, and during the election cycle they slurred the object of their subsequent investigation, ridiculed Trump voters, and bragged that Trump would never be elected. Mueller later staggered, and then hid for weeks the reasons for, their respective firings.<br />
<br />
The team soon discovered there was no Trump-Russian 2016 election collusion—and yet went ahead to leverage Trump campaign subordinates on process crimes in hopes of finding some culpability in Trump’s past 50-year business, legal, and tax records. The point was not to find who colluded with whom (if it had been, then Hillary Clinton would be now indicted for illegally hiring with campaign funds a foreign national to buy foreign fabrications to discredit her opponent), but to find the proper mechanism to destroy the presumed guilty Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
The Mueller probe has now failed in that gambit of proving “collusion” (as even progressive investigative reporters and some FBI investigators had predicted), but succeeded brilliantly in two ways.<br />
<br />
The “counterintelligence” investigation subverted two years of the Trump presidency by constant leaks that Trump soon would be indicted, jailed, disgraced, or impeached. As a result, Trump’s stellar economic and foreign policy record would never earn fifty percent of public support.<br />
<br />
Second, Mueller’s preemptive attacks offered an effective offensive defense for the likely felonious behavior of John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Peter Strzok, and a host of others. While the Mueller lawyers threatened to destroy the lives of bit players like Jerome Corsi, George Papadopoulos, and Roger Stone, they de facto provided exemption to a host of the Washington hierarchy who had lied under oath, obstructed justice, illegally leaked to the press, unmasked and leaked names of surveilled Americans, and misled federal courts under the guise of a “higher loyalty” to the cause of destroying Donald J. Trump.<br />
<br />
The Palace Coup<br />
All of the above came to a head with the firing of the chronic leaker FBI Director James Comey (who would lie to the president about his not being a target of an FBI investigation, lie to House investigatory committees by pleading amnesia and ignorance on 245 occasions, and repeatedly lie to his own FBI bureaucrats).<br />
<br />
In May 2017, acting FBI director Andrew McCabe took over from the fired Comey. His candidate wife recently had been a recipient of huge Clinton-related campaign PAC donations shortly before he began investigating the Clinton email scandal. McCabe would soon be cited by the Inspector General for lying to federal investigators on numerous occasions—cynically stooping even to lie to his own New York FBI subordinates to invest scarce resources to hunt for their own nonexistent leaks as a mechanism for disguising his own quite real and illegal leaking.<br />
<br />
The newly promoted McCabe apparently felt that it was his moment to become famous for taking out a now President Trump. Thus, he assembled a FBI and DOJ cadre to open a counterintelligence investigation of the sitting president on no other grounds but the fumes of an evaporating Clinton opposition dossier and perceived anger among the FBI that their director had just been fired. In addition, apparently now posing as Andrew McCabe, MD, he informally head counted how many of Trump’s own cabinet members could be convinced by McCabe’s own apparent medical expertise to help remove the president on grounds of physical and mental incapacity under the 25th Amendment. This was an attempted, albeit pathetic, coup against an elected president and the first really in the history of the United States.<br />
<br />
At one point, McCabe claims that the acting Attorney General of the United States Rod Rosenstein volunteered to wear a wire to entrap his boss President Trump—in the manner of Trump’s own attorney Michael Cohen’s entrapment of Trump, in the manner of James Comey taking entrapment notes on confidential Trump one-on-one meetings and leaking them to the press, and in the manner of the Department of Justice surveilling Trump subordinates through FISA and other court authorizations.<br />
<br />
McCabe was iconic of an utterly corrupt FBI Washington hierarchy, which we now know from the behavior of its disgraced and departed leadership. They posed as patriotic scouts, but in reality proved themselves arrogant, smug, and incompetent. They harbored such a sense of superiority that they were convinced they could act outside the law in reifying an “insurance policy” that would end the Trump presidency.<br />
<br />
The thinking of the conspirators initially had been predicated on three assumptions thematic during this three-year long government effort to destroy Trump:<br />
<br />
One, during 2016, Hillary Clinton would certainly win the election and FBI and DOJ unethical and illegal behavior would be forgotten if not rewarded, given the Clintons’ own signature transgressions and proven indifference to the law;<br />
<br />
Two, Trump was so controversial and the fabricated dossier was so vile and salacious, that seeded rumors of Trump’s faked perversity gave them de facto exemptions to do whatever they damned pleased;<br />
<br />
Three, Trump’s low polls, his controversial reset of American policy, and the general contempt in which he was held by the bipartisan coastal elite, celebrities, and the deep state, meant that even illegal means to continue the campaign-era effort to destroy Trump and now abort his presidency were felt to be moral and heroic acts without legal consequences, and the media would see the conspirators as heroes.<br />
<br />
In sum, the Left and the administrative state, in concert with the media, after failing to stop the Trump campaign, regrouped. They ginned up a media-induced public hysteria, with the residue of the Hillary Clinton campaign’s illegal opposition research, and manipulated it to put in place a special counsel, stocked with partisans.<br />
<br />
Then, not thugs in sunglasses and epaulettes, not oligarchs in private jets, not shaggy would-be Marxists, but sanctimonious arrogant bureaucrats in suits and ties used their government agencies to seek to overturn the 2016 election, abort a presidency, and subvert the U.S. Constitution. And they did all that and more on the premise that they were our moral superiors and had uniquely divine rights to destroy a presidency that they loathed.<br />
<br />
Shame on all these failed conspirators and their abettors, and may these immoral people finally earn a long deserved legal and moral reckoning.<br />

One of the biggest arguments against the Democratic Party is centered around racism, so we ask the question, are the Democrats racist?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Through-out the years, their members/affiliates have made blatant and also subtle racist remarks which the party does not deny (mostly). The interesting part, though, is that their main line of defense is a claim that doesn’t really have any grounds to it. The claim is that the Democratic and Republican parties have at some point switched stances in terms of racism.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
A Democrat with a long laundry list of racist actions, including Federal Segregation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Wilson rounded up the black vote by telling them that he would be fair and help them advance their interests. Many black voters left the Republicans and voted for Wilson instead. Less than one month after his inauguration he pushed forward for federal segregation in the Department of Treasury and Post Office Department.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1913</strong> Ultimately blacks had to use separate restrooms, lunchrooms and some were even “screened” off out of public sight if their job (clerks) entailed them to be around whites.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Eventually, in 1914, Wilson made it mandatory that applications have a photo attached to them in order to make the discrimination process easier.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Jim Crow laws essentially were a continuation of the Black Codes and segregation brought up by Democrats. In 1896, “Equal but Separate” was upheld in the Supreme Court and amounted to public racial segregation. This also discriminately included poor education, meager jobs/job choices and trespasses against social rights.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
This went on until the Civil Rights Act of 1965.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Shortly after the Civil War and into the 1920’s, lynchings were used by the Democrats as a form of intimidation against mostly Black Americans, but also against other races. There was a supremacy factor implied in the lynchings that made the lynchers appear stronger and more powerful while making the victims appear “lesser.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Between 4,000 and 4,700 people were lynched in this time frame, predominantly Black Americans. Roughly 75% of lynchings after the Civil War happened in the Democrat-controlled South.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1963- 1969 LYNDON JOHNSON </strong></h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
The Democrat President who signed the Civil Rights Act in 1965 and the Great Society program in 1964- 1965. Sounds good, right? That is, until you read what he has been quoted as saying.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
These quotes arguably show the true demeanor of the Democratic Party at the time of passing these bills. When you say:</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 244, 244); border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(113, 191, 67); color: rgb(203, 33, 39) !important; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; margin: 10px 0px 20px; padding: 30px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”</em></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
and then implement a program that would be supported predominantly by white tax-paying citizens while providing care, food and other things to poor folks, predominantly black citizens, people would have to be hypnotized not to ask questions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
To put the icing on the cake, Johnson was quoted as saying:</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 244, 244); border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(113, 191, 67); color: rgb(203, 33, 39) !important; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; margin: 10px 0px 20px; padding: 30px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years.”</em></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Keep in mind, this is after his famous Great Society programs were implemented, programs that included housing, food stamps and other welfare supplements. Single-parent homes were rewarded with extra benefits, a measure that assisted in breaking down the black family.</div>

They had fought long and hard to try and uphold their feelings of supremacy and way of life. It was becoming clearer to them that the battle was being lost as people were seeing through the words and into the true intent; they were waking up. At this point it is my belief, based on the facts and order of events as they unfolded that this group pivots from being blatantly against Black Americans to covertly against Black Americans. It seems to go from physical enslavement with chains to mental enslavement with dependency. </span></div>

This section will touch on a subject that has been controversial ever since its origins: modern-day welfare. Although it is certainly handy for those who need it, it can be morally deadening for those who continually receive it but don’t actually need it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
I consider this subject to be a “not-so-obvious predicament” just because of the sentiment it has acquired by sympathizers and the persuasiveness of its pushers throughout the years.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">SLEIGHT OF HAND</strong></h3>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Let’s dive right in to the main attraction, President Lyndon Johnson.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Lyndon Johnson, a known racist, signed off on the Anti-Poverty laws in 1964-65. These laws included programs of many kinds, including: Job Corps, Model Cities Program, Food Stamp Act, etc.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
He was also quoted saying:</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 244, 244); border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(113, 191, 67); color: rgb(203, 33, 39) !important; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; margin: 10px 0px 20px; padding: 30px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it,” he said. “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”</em></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1988/11/13/what-a-real-president-was-like/d483c1be-d0da-43b7-bde6-04e10106ff6c/?utm_term=.e3d7c8550d41" rel="noopener" style="color: #af3276; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Johnson’s opinion on White psychology</a></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
That’s quite the odd outlook for a sincerely motivated person, especially when you put that in conjunction with this quote, also from Johnson:</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 244, 244); border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(113, 191, 67); color: rgb(203, 33, 39) !important; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; margin: 10px 0px 20px; padding: 30px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
“I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years.”</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=lJz-yIZNE2sC&hl=en" rel="noopener" style="color: #af3276; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Johnson’s opinion on Black psychology</a></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
With these two quotes, you have a clearer picture of his outlook, although his racist agenda is already known.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Some will argue that the context of the first quote is in regard to another situation that he had seen earlier. This may be true, but he has provided us with an opportunity to see inside his head; we now know that he understands the psychology of manipulation and, in conjunction with other known actions and other statements, he will use it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
In 1967, the Government did some analysis in regard to the programs and found that only 50,000 people out of 7.3 million (less than 1%) on welfare were capable of getting off of the assistance and returning to work.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1967/04/20/archives/us-finds-only-1-on-welfare-lists-are-employable-aide-to-johnson.html" rel="noopener" style="color: #af3276; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Government analysis on welfare programs</a></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
With this new information, we had empirical evidence of the program’s failure to bring the poor out of poverty. At this point, the clear solution was to either scrap the deal or use the new data to start from scratch and try something else. This did not happen, but why?</div>

Next, let’s look at some statistics to see how Black and White American families held up to these programs.</div>

(We are using the years between the 1950’s and 1980’s because data is readily available. For some reason, later years compiled the data differently so we would not be able to compare apples to apples)</div>

We can see that most of the moral breakdown started to occur shortly after 1965 when the Anti-Poverty laws were passed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
The breakdown of the families and crime rates went up almost right on cue.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
It seems pretty obvious that the negative effect of these anti-poverty laws was pretty harsh on the American families, especially black families.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
This really makes one wonder why these laws were never revoked.</div>

<span style="color: #71bf43; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Author’s Note: </strong>An extremely important note to make at this point is in regard to the belief of “white privilege.” It would appear that if this concept is true in a systematic sense, it’s simply because of these laws, although, I wouldn’t label “white privilege” a cause because white families also suffered from this legislation.</span></div>

Lastly, there is a perceived notion, a baseless argument, that if you oppose any type of welfare that you are instantly racist.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Defamation attacks like this hardly prove any argument, but they are more effective at ending a debate while still feeling a false sense of accomplishment.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
What needs to be realized is, like Thomas Sowell points out:</div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 244, 244); border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(113, 191, 67); color: rgb(203, 33, 39) !important; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; margin: 10px 0px 20px; padding: 30px;">

In other words, the war on poverty, which forces able-bodied workers to pay extra taxes on their hard-earned money that go towards unable bodied non-workers (nothing wrong here) and able-bodied non-workers, is actually a fairly new concept to America.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
The “welfare” and other forms of assistance have always been through the community: families, friends, relatives, churches and so on.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Consideration for this being a government-provided service was not brought up simply because it was common knowledge that the government should not be intimately involved with families.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
In the beginning of the anti-poverty programs, the notion was “a hand, not a handout.” This is considered acceptable by most.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
But these programs do not actually lift the poor out of poverty, and there is empirical evidence to support that claim, which means there is no real war on poverty.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
By tax-paying citizens giving money to a program that essentially does not help to create a level playing field, we are literally giving out free money.</div>

We answer, that the courts are in many instances under the control of those [Democrats] who are wholly inimical to the impartial administration of law and equity. What benefit would result from appeal to tribunals [courts] whose officers are secretly in sympathy with the very evil against which we are striving? . . . I will say that in the State of South Carolina, there is no disturbance of an alarming character in any one of the counties in which the Republicans have a majority. The troubles are usually in those sections in which the Democrats have [control]. . . . I say . . . to the entire membership of the Democratic Party, that upon your hands rests the blood of the loyal men of the South. Disclaim it as you will; the stain is there to prove your criminality before God and the world in the day of retribution which will surely come.”</em></div>

Slavery, black codes, KKK violence, lynching, civil rights, Amendments 13-14-15; all things that Republicans voted for (a majority of them) were with the sole fundamental that blacks were Americans too.</div>

CONCLUSION</h2>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Democrats have roughly <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">150 years</strong> of history of defiantly and aggressively attacking the rights of Black Americans, along with suppressing the rights of women.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Then we are to believe that they fundamentally changed all of a sudden?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Not to mention this pendulum shift was to occur under the authority of an outwardly racist President like Lyndon Johnson?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
I believe the facts speak for themselves and that we see more of a “switch in strategy” instead of an actual switch in perspectives.</div>

<br />
James Baker, a cormer top FBI official, told investigators there is another source feeding info to the FBI ahead of probe into the Trump Campaign.<br />
<br />
This is going to pop the lid on FBI-DOJ collusion.<br />
<br />
Michael Sussman is the guy.<br />
<br />
It's alleged that Sussman was feeding info via thumbdrive etc. directly to Baker, using him as a channel to the F.B.I. prior to any FISA warrant. <br />
<br />
[url]https://youtu.be/yAh0-tLwl5c[/url]<br />
<br />
This goes all the way back to Brennan. I bet he's leaving hickeys on his rocking chair seat about now.<br />
<br />
Sally Yates. Isn't she special? Tried to pursue Logan Act charge on Trump staff while being perfectly fine with John Kerry. She'd better get accustomed to the color orange.<br />
<br />
We will find that Comey lied when he said there was no coordination between Loretta Lynch and the FBI Investigation. There's also proof they narrowed the scope on the Clinton Investigation. Who? FBI? DOJ? What difference does it make? That's the crux of the problem here. Worst case, Comey gets busted for lying to Congress. :)<br />
<br />
My theory, Strzok and Page texts are devastating. But their just a couple of stupid lovebirds right?<br />
<br />
The redacted hidden stuff is confirmation of wrongdoings directly from the hands of those FBI DOJ CIA etc. criminals.<br />
<br />
Example, there is supposed to be an email from the DOJ on how to articulate how to exonerate Hillary Clinton. How? By narrowing the scope.<br />
<br />
Who's raisins are immediately at stake? James Comey, John Brennan, Clapper, senior officials of the DOJ. :) Rosenstein? Jeffy? For what? Misrepresenting the FISA warrant.<br />
<br />
Sidney Blumenthal, Cody Shearer, Hillary Clinton Campaign officials, get ready.<br />
<br />
Here's what's up...<br />
<br />
The AG Loretta Lynch, her deputy Sally Yates, the head of the National Security Division John Carlin, Bruce Ohr, and other senior officials of the DOJ, and lying attorneys violated the law, committed and covered up crimes of a presidential candidate, but "more than that, tried to frame an incoming President" with Russia Russia Russia.<br />
<br />
Bill Priestap! Search that little name. E.W. Priestap. CounterIntelligence, I believe he is/was one above Peter Strzok. [url]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UYEDZ0V7iww[/url]<br />
<br />
GPS and Crowdstrike, two contractors that our government may have allegedly colluded with to take down Republican presidential candidate and President Elect Donald J Trump, not for National Security, is a crime.<br />
<br />
Good luck with that. We are on this thing now like a coon-hound on a rib bone.<br />

"Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge much about his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI."<br />
<br />
People! These are all undisputed facts. This happened already. The things that are blacked out aka redacted on these documents are the names of the contractors and the FBI DOJ etc. officials.<br />
<br />
The blacked out information will come out soon.<br />
<br />
Does this not concern you?!?<br />
<br />
Mike Rogers of the National Security agency is a hero here. His technician brought to his attention a little 702 trouble. The crackhead FBI was sharing info not with foreign agents, but DNC private contractors.<br />
<br />
Naughty naughty.<br />
<br />
Admiral Mike Rogers realizes the FISC had been lied to. The FBI discovered Rogers started an audit, so to get ahead of him, they go to the fisa court first. This is all in early 2016 mind you. Then fisa puts out a 90 page document none of us have probably even heard about yet. It's not even classified anymore.<br />
<br />
So, as soon as NSA Rogers finds out Trump is the target, he goes to Trump in Trump Tower and warns him he's being spied on, this is November 17th, 2016.<br />
<br />
So Trump moves out of Trump Tower along with his transition team to Bedminster New Jersey and accuses Obama of wiretapping him, then y'all laugh.<br />
<br />
He who laughs last, yada. Yada. Yada.<br />
<br />
This is where John Carlin comes into play. He quit in October of 2016 right after the FISA Court found out the government had broken the law.<br />
<br />
Where'd you go Johnny?<br />

Eight big problems for Christine Blasey Ford’s story<br />
By Paul Sperry<br />

Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Brett Kavanaugh are serious. She is accusing him of violent attempted rape. “I thought he might inadvertently kill me. He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing,” she told The Washington Post, recounting the alleged incident at a high school party “one summer in the early 1980s.”<br />
<br />
But her story is also growing less believable by the day. Here are eight reasons why it’s hardly “anti-woman” for senators to question her account at Thursday’s hearing:<br />
<br />
1) For starters, Ford still can’t recall basic details of what she says was the most traumatic event in her life. Not where the “assault” took place — she’s not sure whose house it was, or even what street it was on. Nor when — she’s not even sure of the year, let alone the day and month.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ford’s not certain how old she was or what grade she was in when she says an older student violently molested her. (But she doesn’t plead inebriation: She described having just “one beer” at the party.)<br />
<br />
2) Ford concedes she told no one what happened to her at the time, not even her best friend or mother. That means she can rely on no contemporaneous witness to corroborate her story.<br />
<br />
3) Worse, the four other people she identified as attending the party, including Kavanaugh, all deny knowledge of the gathering in question, including Leland Ingham Keyser, who she calls a “lifelong friend.”<br />
<br />
Keyser’s lawyer told the Senate Judiciary Committee: “Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with or without Dr. Ford.”<br />
<br />
<br />
The other two potential witnesses — Mark Judge and Patrick “P.J.” Smyth — also deny any recollection of attending such a party. The committee took their sworn statements “under penalty of perjury.” “These witnesses directly contradict Professor Ford’s allegations against Judge Kavanaugh,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley advised Ford’s attorneys last week.<br />
<br />
In her original letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Ford claimed that Kavanaugh talked to Keyser and Smyth right after he assaulted her. Yet neither shares her memory.<br />
<br />
This is, to say the least, highly problematic for her case. No witness corroborates any part of her story.<br />
<br />
4) Her own immediate family doesn’t appear to be backing her up, either. Her mother, father and two siblings are all conspicuously absent from a letter of support released by a dozen relatives, mostly on her husband’s side of the family.<br />
<br />
<br />
The letter attests to her honesty and integrity. “Why didn’t her parents and brothers sign the letter?” a congressional source familiar with the investigation wondered.<br />
<br />
5) This summer, Ford tried to reach out to old friends from high school and college to jog her memory. They couldn’t help her. “I’ve been trying to forget this all my life, and now I’m supposed to remember every little detail,” Ford complained to one friend in July, according to an account in The San Jose Mercury News.<br />
<br />
6) Yet she still pushed forward with her bombshell charge, contacting The Washington Post tip line and Democratic lawmakers, while hiring a Democratic activist lawyer. Ford is also a Democrat, as well as an anti-Trump marcher, raising questions about the motive and timing of the allegations along with their veracity.<br />
<br />
7) Ford contends that notes her therapist took in 2012 corroborate her account. But they don’t mention Kavanaugh.<br />
<br />
They also point up inconsistencies in her story. For instance, her shrink noted that Ford told her there were “four boys” in the bedroom, not two as she now says. The notes also indicate Ford said she was in her “late teens” when she was assaulted. But Ford now says she may have been only 15.<br />
<br />
8) In another inconsistency, Ford told The Washington Post she was upset when Trump won in 2016, because Kavanaugh was mentioned as a Supreme Court pick. But Kavanaugh wasn’t added to Trump’s list of possibles until November 2017, a full year later.<br />
<br />
On top of all that, Kavanaugh “unequivocally denied Dr. Ford’s allegations . . . under penalty of perjury” during a Sept. 17 interview with committee lawyers, Grassley said, adding he was “forthright and emphatic in his testimony” and “fully answered all questions.”<br />
<br />
The sworn interview will no doubt be used to test the consistency and veracity of his public statements Thursday.<br />
<br />
Yet Democrats have already tried and convicted Kavanaugh of sexual assault. Without hard evidence, without substantiation, some even go beyond Ford’s claims to call him an out-and-out “rapist,” “sexual predator,” even a “child predator.”<br />
<br />
As a result, Kavanaugh and his family, “including his two young daughters, have faced serious death threats and vicious assaults,” Grassley said. “And they’re getting worse each day.”<br />
<br />
Ford, who also has received threats, is by all accounts a respected scientific researcher in the field of psychology with an impressive pedigree. While that makes her credible, the same can’t be said for her story. Unless she can fill in the many holes, Kavanaugh still deserves the presumption of innocence.<br />

<br />
You know the progressive media's Charlottesville narrative: "Hey, look at those racists in MAGA hats! This proves that, whatever the history of Democratic Party bigotry and racism today is in the Trump column. Bigotry now is on the right."<br />
<br />
But this narrative is a lie. First of all, no one has ever conducted a valid, empirical survey of neo-Nazis or Ku Klux Klansmen to prove they voted for Trump. This is why the media needs visual images that seem to confirm an unproven thesis. In the aftermath of the initial Charlottesville, I was struck by a solitary white supremacist in a MAGA hat being interviewed by more than a dozen reporters. This one guy—otherwise culturally and politically impotent—was portrayed as visual proof that white nationalism is a malevolent Trump phenomenon.<br />
<br />
In my new book, Death of a Nation, I examined the lives of the leading white nationalists in America today. Virtually without exception, they are on the left. Let’s start with Jason Kessler, organizer of last year’s Charlottesville rally. The Southern Poverty Law Center looked into his background and was astounded to discover that he had been an Obama supporter and active in the left-wing Occupy Wall Street movement.<br />
<br />
What could be more interesting than to examine why an Obama supporter could become a white supremacist? Or how an Occupy activist transitioned into a defender of the white cause? Yet the progressive media went dead silent on this one. Only one local Charlottesville newspaper, The Daily Progress, bothered to dig into this, noting that Kessler’s previous tweets, his neighbors and several of his friends “attest that he held strong liberal convictions.”<br />
<br />
Laura Kleiner is a Democratic activist who dated Kessler for several months in 2013. According to the article, "She said Kessler was very dedicated to his liberal principles, and that he was a strict vegetarian, abstained from alcohol and drugs, embraced friends of different ethnicities, and was an atheist." Kleiner added of Kessler, "He broke up with me and a lot of it was because I was not liberal enough. I am a very progressive Democrat, but he didn’t like that I’m a Christian."<br />
<br />
I mentioned Kessler’s leftist background on social media and he lashed out angrily by releasing a video denouncing me. The video itself is rambling, incoherent and laced with obscenities. The most interesting thing about it is that Kessler attacks me as a rich, brown-skinned guy who only stands up for big business and special interests. In other words, notwithstanding his disavowal of my portrait of him, Kessler sounds just like the left-wing racist I made him out to be.<br />
