U.N. goes all-in for unlimited migration

Hillary an enthusiastic supporter of globalist plan for U.S. cities

The United Nations has cooked up a “New Urban Agenda” coming soon to a city near you.

It was unveiled this week in Quito, Ecuador, at the so-called Habitat III conference.

And part of the plan, enthusiastically embraced by Hillary Clinton, calls for unlimited migration across open borders. Migrants displaced by war, failing economies or other hardships will be seen as having “rights” in nations other than their own. Cities are seen as the key battlegrounds and the U.N. conference in Quito had a lot to say about how your city will be expected to embrace migrants of all types, from all regions of the world.

By now most Americans who follow world events are familiar with the U.N’s plan for global governance as envisioned by its “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” approved by some 190 world leaders including President Obama and Pope Francis in September 2015.

This agenda includes 17 goals aimed at ending hunger, wiping out poverty and stamping out global income inequality by “transforming our world” through sweeping changes ostensibly aimed at freeing cross-border “labor mobility,” among other things.

Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. Hires First Communications Manager

As part of its new comprehensive communications program, Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI), the 1,800-member, non-profit trade association for the Delmarva Peninsula’s chicken industry, has created a position of Communications Manager to coordinate and manage the organization’s outreach efforts. Hired to lead the effort is veteran newspaper reporter and editor James Fisher of Milton, Delaware.

Mr. Fisher has made his home on Delmarva since 2003. He has worked as a newspaper reporter and editor for 13 years, covering all kinds of stories — including many stories on agriculture and the poultry industry — for The Daily Times of Salisbury, Maryland, and most recently for The News Journal in Delaware. Examples of his science reporting were recognized with an award in 2015 by the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association. In that line of work, he has seen up close how communication among agriculture, the public, government, and other industries has evolved.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc., working in all kinds of ways — news, member communications, social media, video, and more — to tell the stories of the people who make up the region’s most significant agricultural sector,” Fisher said. “In my career, I’ve come to understand that poultry is far more intertwined in the region’s economy and culture than many people think at first glance. I’m eager to help DPI spread that understanding even further."

Trump Confronts MSM Treason

Md. troopers find 5 trash bags with 124 pounds of marijuana in Conn. man's car

WHITE MARSH, Md. (AP) -- Maryland State Police have arrested a Connecticut man after they say they found 124 pounds of marijuana in his car.

Local news organizations report that 67-year-old John Paul Demorest was arrested on drug possession and drug kingpin charges.

The incident began Saturday after state police pulled over Demorest on Interstate 95 near White Marsh due to speeding. The trooper who pulled him over called for a K-9 unit to inspect the car after noticing indications of criminal activity.

Electoral model: Trump has at least an 87% chance of winning

Not the only “fundamentals”-based model to show a likely Republican victory this year. Alan Abramowitz’s “Time for Change” model also pointed to a probable GOP win based on things like the state of the economy, the president’s job approval, and whether the party in power has been there for two terms or just one. Abramowitz disowned his own model’s prediction this summer, though, on the theory that it only explains whether a generic Republican should defeat a genericDemocrat or vice versa. When you have a nominee who’s not at all generic, who in fact much of the public deeply dislikes and has deemed unfit for office, then don’t be surprised if that affects the results. In other words, the “Time for Change” model doesn’t say who will win the election so much as which party should have won it. And therein lies the tragedy for Republicans in 2016.

SEE ALSO: Wikileaks could have a lasting impact on Hillary Clinton

This model, called the “Primary Model,” looks at different factors than “Time for Change,” although the amount of time that the incumbent party has been in power is relevant in both. Unlike Abramowitz, though, the man who developed itis sticking to his guns.

Posting Ballot Selfies: Personal Choice or Illegal Act?

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — You probably already know whether you’ll vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton on Election Day, leaving one important question to consider when you walk into your polling place: Is it OK to take a picture of your ballot?

While secrecy in the voting booth has become a thing of the past for those ready to share their views and daily lives on social media, laws nationwide are mixed on whether voters are allowed to take pictures of themselves in the act or of their ballots — “ballot selfies”.

Federal judges have struck down bans on selfies in New Hampshire and Indiana, and rules have been changed in places like California and Rhode Island, but in many states it’s still a violation that carries potential fines or jail terms.

There are laws against sharing any photo of your ballot in 18 states, while six other states bar photography in polling places but do allow photos of mail-in ballots, according to a review by The Associated Press.

City Of Salisbury Welcomes New Council Member

City Welcomes New Council Member

Salisbury – For the second time in two years, the Salisbury City Council was tasked with interviewing candidates to replace an outgoing Councilmember. This month-long process, as laid out in the charter, began with a call for letters of interest and resumes, and, after interviews and an internal vote, culminated this evening in the swearing in of R. Hardy Rudasill as the new representative of the City’s 5th District.

Mr. Rudasill, who has his Juris Doctor from the Illinois College of Law, brings a wealth of experience to the Council table, having worked for Senator Paul Sarbanes, the Upward Bound Program at the University of Maryland, the University of Illinois Law Library, Wor-Wic Community College, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and the Office of the Public Defender, to name just a few. Mr. Rudasill has served the community for the past two years as a member of the City’s Housing Board of Adjustments and Appeals.

Mayor Jake Day, who, as Council President, encouraged Mr. Rudasill’s appointment to the Housing Board of Adjustments and Appeals, said that the Council has made a very wise choice.

Clinton’s WikiLeaks strategy: Doubt, delay, distract

ORLANDO, FLA. The emails are full of potential damage for Hillary Clinton. She weighed the political implications of policies. She is close to Wall Street. Her aides gathered information to discredit a woman who’d accused her husband of rape.

So how has she so far remained largely unscathed by the unprecedented release of hacked emails? It’s one part a deliberate strategy of casting doubt on the authenticity and distracting from the content of the emails, one part fatigue by Americans who already have seen tens of thousands of Clinton’s emails and one part a whole lot of luck.

With Clinton leading in both national polls and battleground-state surveys, the Democrat is in some ways trying to run out the clock on the election.

The WikiLeaks emails do threaten to reinforce voter doubts about Clinton’s honesty. But her strategy – refuse to confirm the authenticity of the emails, blame Russia for the hack and say little else – has so far successfully defused the impact by avoiding any talk that would keep voters looking at the content of the messages. Her undisciplined opponent has taken care of the rest.

“When you start explaining, you’re in trouble,” said G. Terry Madonna, the director of theFranklin & Marshall College poll in Pennsylvania. “They are handling it the best way they can. It’s about as an effective argument you can make.”

Clinton demonstrated her approach during this week’s final presidential debate.

When moderator Chris Wallace asked her about a particular email, for example, she shifted to Russia and Republican opponent Donald Trump’s praise of its leader, Vladimir Putin.

Mexico arrests ex-police chief in case of 43 missing students

Mexican authorities arrested on Friday the fugitive former police chief of the city where 43 students disappeared after officers abducted them in 2014, raising hopes of a breakthrough in the case.

Following a months-long investigation, federal police detained Felipe Flores Velazquez, 58, as he left a house in Iguala after visiting his wife, said National Security Commissioner Renato Sales.

While Flores was finally caught in Iguala, where the mass disappearance occurred more than two years ago, Sales said "he was not always" in the city.

A Felton woman received a two-year prison term for her role in the theft of federal funds from an aid program providing money for food benefits.

Joellen Edwards, 62, pleaded guilty to Theft and Official Misconduct charges.

Edwards was one of seven former employees of the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) responsible for issuing Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards arrested and indicted earlier this year.

The cards under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) replaced the food stamp program.

1,000 Clinton-Petraeus emails missing from records sent to State, FBI files show

Roughly 1,000 emails between Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus were thought to be missing from the 30,000 emails provided by Clinton’s team to the State Department in December 2014, according to the newly released FBI investigative files.

Additional documents obtained through a federal lawsuit by Judicial Watch show Clinton had directed Petraeus to send her emails at her personal address, which was used for all government work during her tenure as secretary of state.

In a heavily redacted FBI interview summary from Aug. 17, 2015, a State Department employee from the Office of Information and Programs and Services (IPS), which handles Freedom of Information Act requests, discussed how Petraeus’ records apparently were not among the work-related emails provided by the former secretary's team.

"CENTCOM records shows approximately 1,000 work-related emails between Clinton's personal email and General David PETRAEUS, former Commander of CENTCOM and former Director of the CIA," said the employee, whose name is redacted, according to the summary. "Most of those 1,000 emails were not believed to be included in the 30,000 emails that IPS was reviewing. Out of the 30,000 emails, IPS only had a few emails from or related to PETRAEUS as well as a few related to Leon PANETTA, former Secretary of Defense."

AT&T Buying HBO And CNN Owner Time Warner For $85.4 Billion

NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T is buying Time Warner, the owner of the Warner Bros. movie studio as well as HBO and CNN, for $85.4 billion in a deal that could shake up the media landscape.

The acquisition would combine a telecom giant that owns a leading cellphone business, DirecTV and internet service with the company behind some of the world’s most popular entertainment, including “Game of Thrones,” the “Harry Potter” franchise and professional basketball. It’s the latest big media acquisition by a major cable or phone company — deals like Comcast’s 2011 purchase of NBC Universal, all aimed at shoring up businesses upended by the internet.

Regulators would have to sign off on the acquisition, no certain thing. The prospect of another media giant on the horizon has already drawn fire on the campaign trail. Speaking in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed to kill it if elected because it concentrates too much “power in the hands of too few.”

Space Station Accepts 1st Virginia Delivery In 2 Years

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The International Space Station received its first shipment from Virginia in more than two years Sunday following a sensational nighttime launch observed 250 miles up and down the East Coast.

Orbital ATK’s cargo ship pulled up at the space station bearing 5,000 pounds of food, equipment and research.

“What a beautiful vehicle,” said Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, who used the station’s big robot arm to grab the vessel. The capture occurred as the spacecraft soared 250 miles above Kyrgyzstan; Onishi likened it to the last 195 meters of a marathon.

Last Monday’s liftoff from Wallops Island was the first by an Antares rocket since a 2014 launch explosion. Orbital ATK redesigned its Antares rocket and rebuilt the pad. While the Antares was grounded, Virginia-based Orbital ATK kept the NASA supply chain open with deliveries from Cape Canaveral, Florida, using another company’s rocket.

Reuters/Ipsos Poll: Half Of Republicans Would Reject Election Result If Clinton Wins

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Donald Trump has repeatedly called this year’s presidential election rigged and has coyly said “I will keep you in suspense” on whether he would accept a Hillary Clinton victory, but many Republicans are less circumspect, according to a new poll.

Only half of Republicans would accept Clinton, the Democratic nominee, as their president. And if she wins, nearly 70 percent said it would be because of illegal voting or vote rigging, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.

Conversely, seven out of 10 Democrats said they would accept a Trump victory and less than 50 percent would attribute it to illegal voting or vote rigging, the poll showed.

The findings come after repeated statements by Trump that the media and the political establishment have rigged the election against him. He also has made a number of statements encouraging his supporters to fan out on Election Day to stop illegible voters from casting ballots.

Frostburg State Warns Public After Student, Parents Scammed

FROSTBURG, Md. (AP) — Frostburg State University Police are warning the public after a student and his parents were simultaneously scammed by a caller threatening to harm the family.

Frostburg State University Police said in a statement that the student’s mother called police after his football coach reported he wasn’t at Saturday’s game. Police were speaking to the student’s parents when the parents got a call saying their son would be killed if money wasn’t wired to the caller.

Police say the student had received a call saying his father would be killed if he didn’t pay, so he went to wire money instead of going to the game.

Perhaps You Need To Think Deeper

WHY do you think Hillary Clinton and her staff would flat out say the Russians are behind hacking liberal e-mail, yet never accept guilt to all of the illegal and corrupt findings coming out of them? It's a really good question and I mean it.

You see, here's what I think their master plan is. I firmly believe Donald Trump is way ahead of Hillary Clinton and they know it. Look, all you have to do is see who's turning out at the rallies to know who's ahead.

I believe Hillary and the Liberals are purposely passing everything on the Russians so they can come back after Trump wins and claim the Russians hacked the election as well.

Their next step will be to contest the election and perhaps stir the pot so much so that we may even see the beginning of a revolution. (not saying it might not happen either way)

Obama then claims Martial Law, stays in office and Lord knows what the final outcome is. However, the mere fact that Liberals are making such a big deal out of Donald Trump refusing to accept the final results PROVES to me there's something majorly wrong. He has every right to do what he so chooses. Funny, the LIBERALS aren't going after the other Republican candidates who signed a pledge to support whomever became the winner, Donald Trump.

Sometimes I think Americans are so stupid. They rarely take the time to really think things out, because there is an outcomes, especially when Liberals are involved.

Agree with my thoughts or not, I've started to open your minds as to what might be ahead. One thing is for sure, Trump is bringing in tens of thousands of people to rallies and there's no denying it's 500 to 1 Trump signs verses Hillary signs.

I can't wait to hear your thought and ideas on this one.

Kaine shrugs off targeted WikiLeaks threat

Tim Kaine, the Democratic party’s vice presidential nominee, isn’t letting a targeted threat by WikiLeaks bother him, even as the document-hosting website has ominously promised a forthcoming leak that would hurt the Virginia senator.

WikiLeaks tweeted Thursday that the group has a “suprise [sic] in store” for Kaine and the Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile.

And the website hasn’t let up on Kaine over the weekend, taking to Twitter on Sunday shortly after the veep nominee discussed the WikiLeaks document dumps on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Kaine, for his part, has shrugged off the threat, telling the Associated Press in an interview Saturday that he had nothing to be “overly embarrassed about” and that he was just a “regular human being.”

Publishers Notes: I love how he can say, “he has nothing to be embarrassed about, because he’s just a regular human being”! That would never fly with Donald Trump!

Clinton Adviser: ‘Seems Odd’ To Put Tributes To ‘Four Guys’ In Benghazi Statement

In an email released by Wikileaks, Mandy Grunwald, political consultant to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, suggests that it seemed “odd” to place tributes to the “four guys” that died in the 2012 terror attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in opening remarks prepared for Clinton.

An email chain entitled “DRAFT: Opening Statement” involves discussion between Dan Schwerin, David Kendall, Jennifer Palmieri, Mandy Grunwald, Katherine Turner, Jake Sullivan, Cheryl Mills and Phil Barnett according to the Wikileaks released document. On October 16, 2015 Schwerin sends an initial draft of “HRC’s opening statement based on our discussion today” and adds, “As Cheryl mentioned, we’d love to get this to HRC for a first read tonight or tomorrow, so quick feedback would be great.”

Several of those addressed respond with their input on the statement and edits. Though Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta is included in those the email dialogue was circulated to, it doesn’t appear that he offers a response in this chain.

An October 19, 2015 email from Mandy Grunwald, however, does give input in the email discussion about what to include in a statement from Clinton on Benghazi and it reads as follows:

WikiLeaks Just Drops 23,000 Of Hillary’s “C” Emails Proving She Does Know That “C” Means Classified

Isn’t it amazing that Hillary can lie so straight faced? She stated during the investigation that she didn’t know that many of the emails were classified, yet now that Julian Assange has dumped over 23,000 of them even we can see that they were clearly marked and not hard to understand.

WikiLeaks is a wonder machine for all of us to be able to force our government to be honest and no matter how many times Hillary lies or blames the emails on Trump or Putin the cold hard fact is regardless of how they came out they are in fact her emails and she will have to answer for it all someday.

Remember when Comey said this about Hillary’s ability to know what the C meant?….. “No, not that she would have no idea what a classified marking would be,” Comey responded. “It’s an interesting question whether she … was actually sophisticated enough to understand what a C in [parentheses] means.”

Trooper Struck On Shoulder Of I-495

(GREENBELT, MD) — A Maryland state trooper and the driver of a passenger car remain hospitalized this afternoon following a crash this morning that occurred as the trooper was monitoring traffic on the shoulder of I-495 in Prince George’s County.

The trooper is identified as Trooper First Class Robert Cearfoss, who is assigned to road patrol duties at the College Park Barrack. TFC Cearfoss was flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center where he continues to undergo treatment.

The other driver involved is identified as Elwin J. Cedilloz, 23, of Washington, D.C. He was transported by ambulance to Prince George’s Hospital Trauma Center.

Shortly before 8:00 a.m. today, TFC Cearfoss was parked on the shoulder of inner loop of I-495, near Rt. 1. He was monitoring traffic on the beltway and was in a marked 2016 Ford Explorer patrol vehicle. For reasons unknown at this time, a 2016 Dodge Dart, driven by Cedilloz, left the travel portion of the inner loop of I-495 and struck the rear of the State Police patrol vehicle.

The force of the crash trapped TFC Cearfoss in his vehicle. He was extricated by responding fire and rescue personnel.

Charges are pending at this time. The cause of the crash has not been positively identified, but troopers are investigating the possibility that alcohol was involved.

MDOT State Highway Administration personnel responded to the scene to close lanes as needed for scene safety, rescue, investigation, and the landing of the State Police medevac helicopter. All lanes of I-495 were reopened at about 11:30 a.m. today.

The investigation is continuing.

Trump: A better candidate than Reagan

Exclusive: Scott Lively sees worldwide impact in 'populist vs. globalist' war

Many of the people announcing an intention to vote for Donald Trump are adding a disclaimer to distance themselves from his unsavory comments or actions of the past. I’m not going to do that. In my view Donald Trump is today a far different and better man than the one who threw his hat in the ring at the start of this election cycle. I credit that to the unprecedented level of public vilification – the “borking” of Donald Trump – he has endured and appears to have been transformed by.

Whatever his worldview and the context of his past experience might have been, and regardless of the level of his sincerity at the beginning of his campaign, this man has made himself the spokesman for numerous positions and values that Christian conservatives (at great personal cost) have advocated for years. He hasn’t just pandered to us, he has walked in our shoes these past months, going far beyond the minimum necessary to align himself with us, and he has learned firsthand what we have endured at the hands of the Marxist elites. And through it all he hasn’t been intimidated into caving and pandering to the left like every other champion we’ve put our hopes in – including the otherwise stalwart Mike Pence in the Indiana RFRA debacle. Trump’s transformation is the best example of personal growth and maturity in a public figure that I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Porn Star Becomes Latest Trump Accuser — Day After Launching Online Sex Store

Donald Trump’s latest sex accuser has launched her own online store to sell adult videos, toys, and sexual equipment. She announced the opening of the store one day before going public with her Trump allegations.

Jessica Drake, an adult film actress, appeared with feminist attorney Gloria Allred Saturday at a press conference, alleging that Trump tried to sleep with her after allegedly touching her. Variety reported:

She said that she met Trump ten years ago at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif.

She said Trump invited her to his suite after the tournament, and she went with some women friends. When they arrived, she said, he grabbed each of them tightly and kissed them. After they left him, one of his representatives called to invite her to his room alone, but she said she declined.

Then Trump himself called and asked, “What do you want? How much?” After she declined his invite, he eventually offered her $10,000, she said.

Anonymous Message To The Corrupt Media, (watch all the way through to the end)

28 Things Donald Trump Promises to Do as President

Donald Trump is laying out delivered a long list of things he would do if elected president.

During an appearance in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he vows to act on them in the first 100 days in office.

“On November Eighth, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our country, secure our communities, and honesty to our government,” Trump says. “This is my pledge to you and if we follow these steps we will once more have a government of, by and for the people and importantly we will make America great again. Believe me.”

Here is the list of the “Contract with the American Voter” policies detailed by Trump:

1. Propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress

2. Institute a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health)

3. Require for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.

We all know the BLS artificially suppresses the CPI through bullshit substitution adjustments, quality adjustments, and various other incomprehensible hedonic adjustments made by government apparatchiks at the behest of their politician bosses. Some obscure theoretical academic calculation called owners equivalent rent accounts for almost a quarter of the CPI weighting.

It has no relation to reality as it has increased by only 12% since 2012, while the Case Shiller Housing Price Index is up 52% over the same time frame. The median price of existing home sales is up 30% over the same time frame. It also has no relation to rent increases, as they have gone up 22% nationally since 2012. It’s essentially a made up number by goal seeking bureaucrats doing the bidding of their establishment masters.

Prior to Greenspan and his cronies getting their grubby little non-callused academic hands on it in the 1980s, CPI reflected measuring the cost of maintaining a constant standard of living, as measured by a fixed-basket of goods. The purpose of all these adjustments and calculations has been to systematically repress the reported level of inflation as a way to keep the Social Security system solvent, allow the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates falsely lower for their banking cartel owners and the biggest debtor on the planet – the U.S. government, and to conceal from the average American how far their standard of living has fallen. It ain’t working.

The average household might not know real median household income is at the same level it was in 1989, but they know they are treading water on a daily basis – using credit cards to sustain themselves while paying 15% interest to the Wall Street banking cartel.

They know their wages are stagnant and their every day costs relentlessly rise. Real hourly wages, using the fake CPI, are up just 1.4% in the past year. In reality, using an accurate measure of inflation, real wages are falling. The government can tell them inflation is only up 1.5% in the last year, but they know better. Their real everyday inflation is north of 4%, as measured before the 1990 coverup began. Now, even the BLS is starting to lose control of the narrative of no inflation.

NSA Whistleblower: US Intelligence Worker Likely Behind DNC Leaks, Not Russia

During the third and last presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, debate moderator Chris Wallace pulled a quote from a speech Clinton had given to Brazilian bankers, noting the information had been made available to the public via WikiLeaks.

Instead of answering the question, Clinton blamed the Russian government for the leaks, alleging “[t]he Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans,” hacking “American websites, American accounts of private people, of institutions … in an effort, as 17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed, to influence our election.”

Following the claim, Clinton criticized Trump for saying “[Clinton] has no idea whether it’s Russia, China, or anybody else,” repeating her assertion that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies had determined the Russian government had been behind the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hack.

Despite her claim, reality couldn’t be more different.

Instead of 17 agencies, only the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have offered the public any input on this matter, claiming the DNC attacks “are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.”

Without offering any evidence, these two — not 17 — agencies hinted that the Kremlin could be behind the cyber attack.But saying they believe the hacks come from the Russians is far short of saying they know the Russians were behind them.

During an interview on Aaron Klein’s Sunday radio program, former high-ranking NSA intelligence official-turned-whistleblower, William Binney, discussed the alleged Russian involvement in our elections, suggesting the cyber attack against the DNC may not have originated from the Russian government. Instead, Binney says, a “disgruntled U.S. intelligence worker” is likely behind the breach.

Meet The Man Who Can Expose "The Real Hillary Clinton Scandal"

We have written frequently about the internal Clinton Foundation power struggle between Chelsea Clinton and Doug Band over the previous couple of weeks (see here, here and here). It all started back in 2011 when, as Chelsea started to take a more senior role at the Clinton Foundation, she became increasingly concerned about an internal audit that exposedglaring conflicts of interest throughout the Foundation with an emphasis on Doug Band and his company, Teneo, who she thought had inappropriately sought favors from the State Department during Hillary's tenure as Secretary of State. A Politico article from March 2015, summarized Chelsea's rise at the Foundation and how it threatened some long-time Clinton allies who had grown quite accustomed to the status quo.

But Chelsea Clinton’s rise at times has seemed to threaten some veteran Clinton aides who had carved out influential—and lucrative—positions after long service with her parents. She is blamed in some quarters formarginalizing both Lindsey and Doug Band, who rose from the president’s body man to build and help run the foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative. A third Clinton veteran, Ira Magaziner, saw his portfolio at the foundation diminished during Braverman’s tenure, and sources say Magaziner’s role remains under scrutiny.

Now, new WikiLeaks emails reveal additional details behind the the man, Eric Braverman, who was brought in as CEO by Chelsea to change the controversial practices of the Foundation but abruptly resigned a short time later after being pushed out by long-time Clinton loyalists who had apparently grown very comfortable with the status quo.

Below is the new email exchange which begins when Neera Tanden warns John Podesta to "keep tabs on Doug Band" who she assumed was the insider who told NBC to "follow the money and find the real HRC scandal." Interestingly, John Podesta writes back quickly to identify the real source as former Clinton Foundation CEO Eric Braverman which seems to be shocking to Tanden who replies simply, "Holy Moses."

Md. Senate President condemns Gov. Hogan’s ‘my way or the highway’ approach

WASHINGTON — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot lashed out Friday at critics of a new executive order preventing school systems from beginning their academic year before Labor Day. But one powerful lawmaker said the governor, through his executive order, is picking an unnecessary fight.

Maryland Senate President Mike Miller said Governor Larry Hogan didn’t have to do an end around the legislature to change the school calendar.

“The general assembly didn’t push back on it,” Miller said. “We could have gotten it passed if the governor had had his act together.”

A bill mandating the change stalled in Annapolis even after a state task force recommended the change. At an event Friday in Bethesda, Hogan ripped lawmakers and education leaders who were upset by his executive order, which has already been revised once to close loopholes in his original order.

Clinton "Fixer" Memo Unveils 24 Years of Cover-Ups and Sex Scandals

The National Enquirer has released an in-depth interview with one of Hillary Clinton’s so-called fixers on Wednesday, unveiling documents that show 24 years of collusion with the Clintons to cover-up Bill and Hillary’s sexual affairs and how officials from the White House were complicit!

The fixer said that he worked with the Clintons to cover-up 12 incidents, including Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky. All 12 incidents are revealed in the documentation given to the Enquirer.

“I arranged a meeting for Hillary and a woman in an exclusive Beverly Hills hotel. She had come to the studio to see the filming of a movie in 1994,” he said in a preview of the interview that the Enquire has posted online. “While I was there, I helped her slip out of a back exit for a one-on-one session with the other woman. It was made to look casual, leaving quietly [rather] than being caught up in the melee, but really it was for something presumably more sordid.”

Breitbart News Editor-at-Large, Clinton Cash author, and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Matthew Boyle on Saturday, “The Podesta emails show stunning facts that are very troubling and that show that pay-to-play was widespread in the Clinton Foundation.”

Schweizer said one of the most stunning revelations uncovered by the WikiLeaks email dumps was that found in the internal review of the Clinton Foundation, ordered by Chelsea Clinton, in which auditors noted that “some interviewees reported conflicts of those raising funds or donors, some of whom may have an expectation of quid pro quo benefits in return for gifts.”

“That the word of the internal review, that there was this expectation with donors that they were going to a quid pro quo,” Schweizer said.

Schweizer also noted that WikiLeaks emails provide proof that the “Clintons have a long and lucrative history of financial deals with the Russians, particularly with the Russian government.”

Schweizer explained the “deep ties” the Clintons have to Russia, specifically how in 2010 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale and transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium output to the Russian government:
