Donald Trump says he would block the $80bn AT&T and Time Warner merger
The deal that could 'destroy democracy' between AT&T and Time Warner would undoubtedly be blocked if America elected Donald Trump as president, or so he says.
'Deals like this destroy democracy,' proclaimed Trump during a rally in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he discussed what he would do in his first 100 days of presidency.
AT&T reached a deal to buy media company Time Warner for $85.4billion.

Federal authorities warn against dangers of decorative contact lenses
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have combined efforts to make several hundred seizures totaling around 100,000 pairs of counterfeit, illegal and unapproved contact lenses. The enforcement actions, coordinated from the ICE-led National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center), were conducted under the FDA-led initiative dubbed Operation Double Vision, an ongoing effort to target the illicit importation and distribution of counterfeit and unapproved contact lenses that present a significant health and safety hazard to the American public.
“Criminal elements will capitalize on the excitement of the holiday season by selling substandard, dangerous counterfeit and illegal items with no regard for the health and safety of consumers,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations Executive Associate Director Peter Edge. “Our agents are committed to collaborating with external agencies to develop effective operations and conduct aggressive investigations into the distribution of fake goods that threaten the American public with lengthy medical procedures and strenuous rehabilitation programs.”
Mook Flustered by Fox Questions on Clinton Soliciting Morocco Donation
Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook appeared to grow flustered on Sunday as Fox News host Chris Wallace pressed him on Clinton’s solicitation of a $12 million donation from the King of Morocco to the Clinton Foundation.
According to hacked emails of John Podesta released by WikiLeaks, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin wrote to Mook and Podesta early in 2015 that it was Clinton’s idea to speak at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Morocco in return for the eight-figure sum. Given that Clinton’s own State Department called the African nation “corrupt,” Abedin acknowledged Clinton knew she’d made a “mess” for herself with her presidential campaign launch coming up.
She ultimately did not attend the conference.
“Why wasn’t that classic pay-to-play?” Wallace asked of the solicitation of the money.
Mook said it was not news that the CGI held its meeting in Morocco and that Hillary Clinton wound up not attending. Bill and Chelsea Clinton went, however.

Donald Trump: Anyone Who Supports Open Borders Should Never Be Allowed to Be President
Donald Trump said that Hillary Clinton should never have been allowed to run for president due to her crimes and open-borders advocacy.
“Anyone who supports open borders should never be allowed to be president,” Trump said. “Hillary’s plan includes an open border with the Middle East…most people don’t even know where [refugees are] going, including governors and senators. This is going to be the great Trojan horse.”
“I’m going to keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country!” Trump said.
“She has opened the door to unlimited drugs pouring into your community. Which Ohio does not want,” Trump said.
Trump vowed that his administration will make America wealthy again.

NY Political Science Professor: 87-99 Percent Chance Trump Wins; Other Polling Methods 'Bunk'
Helmut Norpoth, a political science professor at Stony Brook University in New York State, is defying seemingly all national polling data by predicting Republican nominee Donald Trump has an 87-99 percent chance of taking the White House.
Norpoth, who is strongly cautioning against our current “bunk” polling measures, has correctly predicted every presidential election since 1996. Further, his election model has predicted every presidential election winner since 1912, save the 1960 election.
“The American Voter Revisited” co-author explains that the current polling system fails on two fronts, 1.) ineffective “opinion” polling and 2.) excluding those who refuse to participate in polling surveys, citing inaccurate polling predictions by Gallop and Rasmussen in 2012.
In his column for The Hill, Norpoth first goes after opinion polls:
“To start with something basic, opinion polls are really about ‘opinions,’ not actions. At their best, they can tell us how people feel about political issues and personalities. Do voters, for instance, like or dislike candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump?” he writes.
“Yet having an opinion and acting on it are two different things,” Norpoth continues. “Barely 6 in 10 voting-age American citizens turn out for presidential elections. Ascertaining the opinions of 100 citizens is just a start. Now you have to determine which 60 of them actually take the time to mark a ballot. They are the ‘likely voters.’ They are the only ones that count. But to find them is no easy chore.”

Two Wanted Suspects Killed By Police In Cecil Co.
(ELKTON, MD) – Two suspects who were wanted on felony warrants in Delaware and who were armed with what appeared to be handguns but were later determined to be BB guns, were fatally wounded this morning when both ignored commands of a police fugitive team and raised their guns at officers attempting to arrest them at a Cecil County motel.
The deceased are identified as Brandon Jones, 25, and Chelsea M. Porter, 25, both from Dover, Delaware. Both were wanted on warrants by Delaware State Police for four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession with intent to deliver heroin, possession of heroin, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, three counts of possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited, receiving a stolen firearm, conspiracy 2nd, possession of marijuana other than personal use quantity, and possession of drug paraphernalia
The two were believed to be traveling together and were possibly in Maryland. Delaware State Police contacted the Maryland State Police yesterday requesting assistance in the search for the fugitives. The Maryland State Apprehension team, a cooperative inter-agency fugitive task force coordinated by the Maryland State Police and the US Marshals Service, took the lead searching for the fugitives in Maryland.
Shortly before 10 a.m. today, members of the Maryland State Apprehension Team went to the New Eastern Inn, in the 200-block of Pulaski Highway, Elkton, Md. The Maryland State Apprehension team included fugitive investigators from the Maryland State Police and the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office.
Who Am I Answer
I am John Mitchell, former Attorney General in the Nixon Administration.
Unfortunately, due to my involvement in Watergate, I went to jail for corruption. While my lawyer tried to get me off, the government (and the people) didn't see me as innocent.
You can read more about my story and the Watergate scandal at this site.
For those not alive during my time in the sun, you should give Watergate a look. Hillary Clinton was fired from the investigation because she lied and stole evidence. Now, her boss wishes he had turned her into the Bar for disbarment for her own clever devious actions back in the day.
I died on November 19, 1988 at my home in DC of a massive heart attack.

"I Went To A Wells Fargo Branch... And This Is What Happened Next"
They have learned nothing.
I walked into my Wells Fargo branch to put my data backup into my safe deposit box, as I’ve been doing for a decade. This routine business turned into a wake-up call about safe deposit boxes and churned up insights into how Wells Fargo conducts to this day its cross-selling efforts: the algo makes them do it!
To clarify, I’m a happy customer. Wells Fargo handles day-to-day banking for me and my vast WOLF STREET media-mogul-empire corporation. The people are nice, and I have not yet noticed any fraudulent accounts in my name.
It doesn’t bother me that every time I call one of the national numbers with a problem or question, I have to swat away their offers of “pre-approved” credit cards, lines of credit, or other high-margin products. Having run a car dealership earlier in my life, I appreciate the art of aggressive cross-selling. However, we never-ever did it over the phone! We waited till we saw the whites of their eyes.
Yet at the counter for safe deposit boxes, I was in for a surprise. The young man – a 30-year-old employee would have looked suspiciously over-age at that branch – checked the computer for my box number. There was a problem. He asked for my driver’s license. He rummaged through a file cabinet, found the signature cards. He conferred with another kid. He came back, embarrassed. Turns out, the fact that I’ve been renting the box for a decade wasn’t in their computer system. So no-go.
I thought: That’s how easy it is to block you from getting into your safe deposit box.
He called over a “personal banker” – a young woman – to “fix” the problem. We trotted off to her desk. She said the bank had “updated” its computer system. My box rental hadn’t made it into the new version. So she got busy on her computer. Took a while. She had to set it up. There were fees and discounts to discuss. There were things I had to read, agree to, and sign. She was just about finished, when she suddenly did a mini double-take of her screen. Everything came to a halt.
“I don’t mean to sell you anything,” she said after a long pause, with an embarrassed smile, “but….”

New York Times Warns of 'the Dangers of Hillary Clinton'
The New York Times editorial page warns this weekend that Hillary Clinton is dangerous because of her “establishmentarian type of folly.”
Ross Douthat opines:
The dangers of a Hillary Clinton presidency are more familiar than Trump’s authoritarian unknowns, because we live with them in our politics already. They’re the dangers of elite groupthink, of Beltway power worship, of a cult of presidential action in the service of dubious ideals. They’re the dangers of a recklessness and radicalism that doesn’t recognize itself as either, because it’s convinced that if an idea is mainstream and commonplace among the great and good then it cannot possibly be folly.
Almost every crisis that has come upon the West in the last 15 years has its roots in this establishmentarian type of folly. The Iraq War, which liberals prefer to remember as a conflict conjured by a neoconservative cabal, was actually the work of a bipartisan interventionist consensus, pushed hard by George W. Bush but embraced as well by a large slice of center-left opinion that included Tony Blair and more than half of Senate Democrats.

Md. woman chooses sleeping outside with pets over homeless shelter
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) - Allyn Sweet lost her Mount Airy home in June 2016, but she was more concerned about what would happen to her six pets.
With a lack of pet-friendly homeless shelters and the costly prices of pet-friendly hotels, Sweet decided to sleep outside with her animals.
“The shelter system is set up for people with families," said Sweet, "not people with pets.
She spent the summer camping in a tent and with the help of an acquaintance has taken shelter in a hotel through the end of the month.
But colder weather is coming and she is hoping to find something a little more permanent.

Former Pa. Attorney General Sentenced To 10-23 Months In Jail For Perjury
Pennsylvania's former attorney general, Kathleen Kane, has been sentenced to 10 to 23 months in jail after she was embroiled in a scandal that shook the state's political establishment.
Kane, who was once viewed as a rising star within the Democratic Party, was "convicted on all nine counts – including perjury, obstruction and official oppression – in connection with a complicated case in which she leaked grand jury information about an investigation in retaliation against a political rival and then lied about it under oath," as The Two-Way has reported. She resigned from office a day after her conviction in August.
She was also sentenced to eight years of probation "by a Montgomery County judge who said Kane's ego drove her to take down enemies and break the law," as The Associated Press reported.

Early voting set to start this week in Maryland
BALTIMORE —For voters who missed last week's voter registration deadline, there is another chance for them to sign up.
Voters still have the opportunity to register and cast their ballots, during early voting this week. To do so, voters must bring proof of residency, like a driver’s license, ID card, paycheck or utility bill to register on site this week.
As early voting is set to get underway, election judges are needed in Baltimore City to ensure the process goes smoothly.
“It seems as though a lot of people are not motivated for this election,” Baltimore City Board of Elections director Armstead Jones said.

Dems Squirm On Sunday Morning Talk Shows As WikiLeaks And O'Keefe Promise More Surprises
Clinton strategist Joel Benenson was squirming in his seat for just about every second of the following interview with George Stephanopoulos this morning on ABC. We suspect Benenson didn't expect to be pushed quite so hard by a long-time Clinton loyalist like Stephanopoulos. Of course, the interview came just a ABC released a poll this morning showing a 12-point national advantage for Hillary which is perhaps why Stephanopoulos feels a little more comfortable actually doing his job in an impartial way.
The interview starts out with a review of O'Keefe's Project Veritas video exposing efforts of the DNC to incite violence at Trump rallies which prompts the following question from Stephanopoulos...
Stephanopoulos: "This is pretty shocking stuff. Now I know there have been questions about these O'Keefe videos in the past. Yet, both of those operatives who were in those videos have now resigned and they did receive money from the DNC, they were subcontractors. Isn't this exactly the kind of behavior you all have been talking about?"
...and then the squirming begins.

NY Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney: Hillary Clinton 'Destroyed' New York as Senator; Imagine What She'd Do to Country as President
Republican New York Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney is warning voters against supporting Hillary Clinton citing Clinton’s “failed” record in New York state.
“[Clinton’s] failed policies– NAFTA, pay-to-play, corporate welfare– all those things have destroyed central New York,” Tenney told listeners on Breitbart News Saturday. “Can you imagine if she’s President what’s going to happen to the country? It’s going to be terrible NAFTA deals on steroids, pay-to-play, the entire White House is going to be for sale. It’s a nightmare. Those policies have caused this problem right in our area.”
Tenney, who is running for the U.S. House seat in New York’s 22nd Congressional district, explained that Clinton “promised 200,000 jobs when she was running for Senate” in 2000, but Tenney says Clinton failed to deliver. Instead “we’ve lost probably three or four hundred thousand manufacturing jobs out of the state,” Tenney said. “We have the largest out migration of population. We have some of the highest taxes, probably the highest taxes in the nation. We have the second highest energy costs. We are the least free state in the country.”
Tenney told Breitbart that there are “very few manufactures left in central New York” as a result of the trade policies backed by Clinton such as NAFTA.

Thousands of California soldiers forced to repay enlistment bonuses a decade after going to war
Short of troops to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan a decade ago, the California National Guard enticed thousands of soldiers with bonuses of $15,000 or more to reenlist and go to war.
Now the Pentagon is demanding the money back.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers, many of whom served multiple combat tours, have been ordered to repay large enlistment bonuses — and slapped with interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens if they refuse — after audits revealed widespread overpayments by the California Guard at the height of the wars last decade.
Investigations have determined that lack of oversight allowed for widespread fraud and mismanagement by California Guard officials under pressure to meet enlistment targets.

Here’s what voter fraud looks like in 23 states
Trump: 'Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!'
Republican candidate Donald Trump is making accusations that the election is “rigged” against him, even suggesting the possibility of voter fraud.
Trump leveled this accusation in a tweet early Monday morning that read, “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!”
Many others strongly push back against claims of voter fraud. The Brennan Center for Justice says that voter fraud is “myth” and the Washington Post maintains that voter fraud isn’t a problem.
As the debate rages, here are examples of voter fraud in 23 different states, as compiled by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Virginia
Just a few weeks ago, Harrisonburg, Va., claimed about 20 voter applications were submitted for dead people. A voter registration group called “HarrisonburgVOTES” is responsible for the applications, and the group is reportedly headed by Joe Fitzgerald, chairman of the Democratic Committee in Harrisonburg.
An investigation has been launched.

A voter registration group called “HarrisonburgVOTES” is responsible for the applications, and the group is reportedly headed by Joe Fitzgerald, chairman of the Democratic Committee in Harrisonburg.
An investigation has been launched.

RNC Chairman Priebus: Hillary Is Going to Lose, 'She's Too Risky for This Country'
Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will lose the election because, “She’s too risky for this country.”
When asked if Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will win, Priebus said, “Yeah, he is going to win, and he’s going to win because I think people in this country have had enough and he’s the change agent. When it comes down to risk in this country, Hillary’s been tested and she’s failed. She’s the risky candidate. You look at Russia, the uranium deal giving them control of 20% of the world’s uranium. Her pocketing hundreds of thousands in speeches, Russian reset, Libya, you look at Iraq and the mess she left there. What I’m saying is she was tried and tested. She failed. She’s too risky for this country. That’s why she’s going to lose.”

Former Prosecutor: The Clintons Are So Corrupt, Everything ‘They Touch Turns To Molten Lead’
Obama’s Department of Justice “created a double standard for justice – one for the Clintons and one for the little guy.”
Pithy former federal prosecutor Joe diGenova believes the recent Project Veritas video by James O’Keefe featuring DNC contractors explaining their dirty practices to foment violence at Trump events, is a prima facie case of federal and state criminal activity.
DiGenova says prosecutors should investigate everyone in the video, including Illinois Democrat Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky’s husband, Bob Creamer, who suddenly retired last week.
In this exclusive 26-minute video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, diGenova explains why many former and current FBI officials believe James Comey, the director of the FBI, is a “dirty cop.” When Comey refused to recommend prosecution of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for her misuse of classified government information in July after “a fake and sophomoric” investigation, he bred cynicism and tainted the premier law enforcement agency.

Unreleased Impeachment Era Evidence Against Bill Clinton Still Sealed By Congress
Tens of thousands of pages detailing the case for impeachment against former President Bill Clinton have remained locked away from the public for almost 20 years.
Although many believe that the report issued by then Independent Counsel Ken Starr revealed the final findings of his investigation of Clinton in the late 1990’s, around 60,000 pages of documents seen by only a few people describe the House Judiciary Committee’s case against the 42nd president.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde hired Chicago attorney and Democrat David Schippers to be the Chief Investigative Counsel to help prosecute the committee’s case against Clinton. Schippers described to American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios Friday how the evidence against Clinton was stored and studied by Congress at the time.

2016 election rigged? More so than Watergate
Exclusive: Joseph Farah declares, 'Fraud has been perpetrated on the American people'
Where’s the special prosecutor?
Where are the House and Senate hearings?
Where are Woodward and Bernstein?
Yes, the 2016 election has been corrupted. Fraud has been perpetrated on the American people and the rule of law. The multiple scandals – provable now through prima facie evidence – actually make this political year, from primaries through general campaigns, represent something bigger than Watergate!
Do I exaggerate?
You be the judge.
First of all, let me begin by saying I am old enough to thoroughly understand Watergate. It was the political development that inspired me to enter journalism as my profession. I followed it carefully, meticulously, methodically – from the early newspaper reporting to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

EPA Spends $10.8 Million For Green Teacher Training
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is spending $10.8 million training teachers on the fundamentals of “environmental education.”
EPA will fund the training of 4,400 educators annually and “deliver high-quality environmental education in formal and non-formal education settings.” EPA officials declined to tell CNS News what the program would actually teach or how it would explain topics, like global warming.
“Environmental educators help learners of all ages understand and value the ecosystems around them,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said in a statement. “The teacher training program gives educators access to the best classroom and out-of-classroom materials and professional development opportunities, focused on using the environment as a platform for learning science, technology, engineering and math skills to improve decision-making.”

Urban Sanctuary Designation Sought For Popular Offshore Fishing Canyon
OCEAN CITY — The National Aquarium on Monday announced it is seeking the public’s support in its effort to nominate the Baltimore Canyon off the coast of Ocean City as the nation’s first Urban National Marine Sanctuary.
The Baltimore Canyon, a 28-mile long and five-mile wide submarine canyon off the coast of Ocean City lies at the center of the resort’s multi-million dollar fishing industry and contains fragile deep sea corals rarely seen anywhere in the world along with habitat for countless species of marine life. The National Aquarium has launched a petition drive to have it designated as the nation’s first Urban National Marine Sanctuary, presenting a unique opportunity to connect an urban population to the ecological treasure using cutting edge deep sea exploration technology.
“The Baltimore Canyon is not only a fascinating ecosystem, but also a natural classroom and living laboratory that we can use to expose our children to a new world, our next frontier,” said National Aquarium Chief Conservation Officer Kris Hoellen. “We hope that with a groundswell of support from our community, we can designate this untapped aquatic treasure as our nation’s first Urban National Marine Sanctuary. It is time to invest in our deep seas and in Baltimore.”

WSJ: No Hillary, The Heller Decision Does Not Endanger Toddlers
In a fact-check on the gun claims Hillary Clinton made during the last presidential debate, the Wall Street Journal reports that she “misleadingly suggested” the District of Columbia v Heller (2008) decision endangers toddlers.
WSJ goes on to show that Heller was not about toddlers but about the Washington, D.C. handgun ban, which took effect in 1976.
The discussion of Heller arose after debate moderator Chris Wallace pointed out that in 2015, Clinton said, “the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment.” Her statement was in reference to the Heller decision, so Wallace asked if she would explain why she believed the decision was a mistake.
Clinton said:
I disagreed with the way the court applied the Second Amendment in that case, because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns. So they wanted people with guns to safely store them.
Clinton also admitted being “upset” by the decision and reiterated her suggestion that toddlers would be endangered by it.

Jill Stein Slams Hillary Clinton's 'Disturbing' Laughter at Lynching of African Ruler
Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein blasted Hillary Clinton’s “laughter at the lynching of an African ruler” as “disturbing,” referring to a 2011 CBS video clip of Clinton laughing about the death of Muammar Gaddafi.
Clinton “left Libya in bloody chaos,” Stein wrote.
Hillary's laughter at the lynching of an African ruler was frankly disturbing. She left Libya in bloody chaos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlz3-OzcExI …
Liberal blogger Mickey Kaus has similarly written about this clip of Hillary Clinton extensively, describing it as “devastating” to Clinton’s campaign.
New Podesta Email Exposes Dem Playbook For Rigging Polls Through "Oversamples"
Earlier this morning we wrote about the obvious sampling bias in the latest ABC / Washington Post poll that showed a 12-point national advantage for Hillary. Like many of the recent polls from Reuters, ABC and The Washington Post, this latest poll included a 9-point sampling bias toward registered democrats.
"METHODOLOGY – This ABC News poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Oct. 20-22, 2016, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 874 likely voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 36-27-31 percent, Democrats - Republicans - Independents."
Of course, while democrats may enjoy a slight registration advantage of a couple of points, it is nowhere near the 9 points reflected in this latest poll.
Meanwhile, we also pointed out that with huge variances in preference across demographics one can easily "rig" a poll by over indexing to one group vs. another. As a quick example, the ABC / WaPo poll found that Hillary enjoys a 79-point advantage over Trump with black voters. Therefore, even a small "oversample" of black voters of 5% could swing the overall poll by 3 full points. Moreover, the pollsters don't provide data on the demographic mix of their polls which makes it impossible to "fact check" the bias...convenient.

Prepare For The Unthinkable
Red Ink
Growth and profits mask a variety of problems. They hide business inefficiencies and the money suck of corporate adminis-trivia. They also conceal unproductive staff.
But most of all growth and profits obscure the extreme value subtracting forces of bloated management teams. During good times it is unclear what these smug fellows do. During bad times it is lucidly clear that most of them ain’t worth a darn.
When the profits inevitably recede, the senior executives, with their silly 24 point project reviews and cumbersome project execution requirements, appear lost. They’re left exposed, with their pants down, and without a clue in the world as to what business it is they’re actually in. What the heck have they been doing all this time?
Where does the money come from? How is it spent? Over time, and in the absence of a watchful eye, the rising tide of growth gradually submerses the answers to these questions.
Then, when the answers are needed most, it is too late. While management was busy developing mindless risk management protocols and clumsy 9 step work flow approval processes the answers had drowned. But instead of drowning under the rising tide of growth, they’d sunk below a hemorrhaging sea of red ink.

FBI, DOJ roiled by Comey, Lynch decision to let Clinton slide by on emails, says insider
The decision to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for mishandling classified information has roiled the FBI and Department of Justice, with one person closely involved in the year-long probe telling FoxNews.com that career agents and attorneys on the case unanimously believed the Democratic presidential nominee should have been charged.
The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity, said FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic July 5 announcement that he would not recommend to the Attorney General’s office that the former secretary of state be charged left members of the investigative team dismayed and disgusted. More than 100 FBI agents and analysts worked around the clock with six attorneys from the DOJ’s National Security Division, Counter Espionage Section, to investigate the case.
“No trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute -- it was a top-down decision,” said the source, whose identity and role in the case has been verified by FoxNews.com.
A high-ranking FBI official told Fox News that while it might not have been a unanimous decision, “It was unanimous that we all wanted her [Clinton’s] security clearance yanked.”
“It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted,” the senior FBI official told Fox News. “We were floored while listening to the FBI briefing because Comey laid it all out, and then said ‘but we are doing nothing,’ which made no sense to us.”
Note: This unrest within the FBI was told to you a couple of months ago, but many said it wasn't true. Now you're seeing, it is true! Dare to be informed!
WSJ: Wikileaks Raises Questions on When John Podesta, Russia Stopped Doing Business
In an article titled “John Podesta and the Russians,” WSJ’s James Freeman writes that the question “When did Clinton’s top aide stop doing business with Moscow?” is not an easy one to answer, given the latest information we have from Wikileaks.
From the Wall Street Journal:
Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta has responded to the WikiLeaks publication of his private emails by suggesting they were stolen by the Russians to elect Donald Trump. What he doesn’t like to talk about is the business he’s done with a Kremlin-backed investment firm and the lengths he’s gone to avoid scrutiny of this relationship.
The emails published on WikiLeaks show that around the time he was returning to the White House, Mr. Podesta wrote to Joule requesting the transfer of his shares to an entity called Leonidio Holdings, LLC, which had been created just weeks earlier.
Leonidio shares an address with Mr. Podesta’s daughter Megan Rouse, a financial planner who lives in California. When reached by telephone on Tuesday, Ms. Rouse told us that she did not have time to discuss the issue, thanked us for the call, and then hung up.

‘Jeopardy’ host Alex Trebek says Maryland contestant’s favorite music genre is for ‘losers’
A Maryland librarian and “Jeopardy” contestant has gone viral after host Alex Trebek said her favorite type of music is for “losers.”
Maryland Department of Legislative Services librarian Susan Cole of Bowie was featured on Wednesday night’s episode of “Jeopardy” and revealed that one of her favorite genres was “Nerdcore hip-hop.”
When Trebek said he had never heard of it and that it “doesn’t sound like fun,” Cole explained: “It’s people who identify as nerdy, rapping about the things they love, video games, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners, you know. It’s really catchy and fun.”
“Losers, in other words,” Trebek said.
The crowd erupted in laughter. Trebek noted that he was just teasing, but video clips of the moment have since been shared on Twitter and Instagram in humorous posts, with people surprised with Trebek’s timeliness.
Through a co-worker, Cole declined to comment.
But her nerdiness paid off. The librarian won the competition, racking up $20,600.

Malpractice Lawsuit Against University of Maryland Medical System Results in $10M Verdict
A Baltimore jury awarded $10 million in damages against University of Maryland Medical System late last month, in wrongful death lawsuit filed over a medication error.
The family of Dennis Allen brought the medical malpractice case against the hospital, alleging that the drug Kayexalate was improperly administered after Allen was admitted for kidney problems in 2013.
Side effects of Kayexalate caused damage to his colon and resulted in Allen’s death.
Kayexalate is classified as a sodium polystyrene sulfonate and is used to treat patients with high levels of potassium in their blood. The prescription medication is taken orally usually between one and four times per day to allow the body to bind potassium in the large intestine so it can be removed naturally. High levels of potassium in the blood can cause heart rhythm issues.

Truth!
While it may be hard for diehard Democrats to swallow, it is the truth. In a recent World Leaders Poll, 77% of the countries polled wanted Donald Trump to win the presidency. Conversely, Clinton's only votes came Middle Eastern countries where she's made many 'bargains' to continue aid and arms while profiting from those deals through the Clinton Foundation.
The leaders voting for Trump know, especially with her campaign rhetoric (i.e. blaming Russia when no intelligence agency has ever said they were responsible), we will have World War III started by her administration within a very short time. None of these leaders promote this action because the repercussions would be catastrophic to the entire world - not just America.
Furthermore, to most leaders (and their cultures) view Hillary Clinton's history in public service as her being a traitor to her country even when they benefited. Her actions to date, in most countries, not only carries heavy jail terms but also punishment by death.
It is time for people to wake up because the facts are indisputable at this point!
In a recent interview with CNN, Vladimir Putin stated the following, which given the above poll, falls in line with over three quarters of the world leaders:

CORRUPTION? NOTHING TO SEE HERE. MOVE ALONG.
Look inside your soul. Look inside your mind. Look to your gut. What does it say about you if you would KNOWINGLY vote for a politician who has evidence against them for corruption and lies.
And worse, what does it say about you if you trust that politician to do what they say? Look inside your soul, mind and listen to your gut.
Do you believe someone you know to be a liar in everyday life? Why would you believe a politician who has on so many occasions lied?
Hil-LIARy is obviously corrupt and a liar…the alternative and a possibility is that she is corrupt and mentally ill. Either way, she does not deserve your vote.
Let’s play a little game here. Psychosis or Lie.
Hil-LIARy said that when she flew to Tuzla,Bosnia in 1996 as first lady she came under sniper fire in Bosnia. In case you’ve forgotten, she gave a campaign stump speech using her experience there as an example of her “battle tested experience.” She gave this speech in the 3rd week of March 2008, when running against now President Obama.
Except it never happened. Yes, she went to Tuzla, but…there was no sniper fire. In case you’ve forgotten, here’s a report from CBS News dated March 25, 2008. 12 years after the alleged event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZHO1vo762c
She doubled down on her claim. Then when shown to be a liar, she claimed that she “misspoke.”
Now, was it her propensity to lie? Or was it psychosis?
Can you really trust her? Do yourself a favor. If you are leaning toward Clinton, watch her lying for 13 minutes in a row from various comments in compilation. Watch it, then look at yourself again and ask yourself if you support corruption and lies. Here’s the video… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY77j6uBHI
So ask yourself…do you support corruption and lies? Are you gullible enough to believe her? If you are, are you responsible enough to vote?
If you’re a Clinton supporter, there is another candidate you should look at. Jill Stein. Send a message. Don’t vote for lies and corruption…you’re better than that.
Let me know what you think. Comments either way are appreciated.

Another grower applicant cries foul on Maryland medical marijuana licenses
Head of Maryland medical marijuana grower licensing defends decisions, says scores were tightly bunched
A key figure on the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission defended the panel's decisions on who received licenses to grow marijuana for medical use amid accusations that politically well-connected applicants were selected over better-qualified companies.
Cheverly Police Chief Harry "Buddy" Robshaw, who chairs the growers subcommittee of the commission, said the differences in the scores of the top applicants were very small. The top 15 applicants — which received preliminary growers licenses — were "about interchangeable," he said.
"They really were very close up to [No.] 30 or 40," Robshaw said.
The commission has not released the scores, which guided officials as they picked which companies would receive the potentially lucrative preliminary licenses to grow and process marijuana.

Terminally ill mom denied treatment coverage — but gets suicide drug approved
Stephanie Packer wants to be the face of a Right to Live movement — for as long as she draws breath.
“I just want to spend every last second with my kids,” Packer, a terminally ill, married mother of four kids, ages 7 through 13, tells me.
Nearly two years ago, Brittany Maynard, at just 29 years old, became the face of the Right to Die movement now sweeping across the United States. In Oregon, surrounded by loved ones, she took her own life, legally, before a brain tumor could do it for her, with a self-administered overdose of physician-prescribed barbiturates. I supported her choice to end her agony.
But at what cost?
Packer struggles to open her eyes each blessed morning. And the cultural landscape to which she wakes has shifted dramatically of late into one of pro-death. In June, her home state of California enacted a law permitting doctor-assisted suicide. And something terrible happened.

“I just want to spend every last second with my kids,” Packer, a terminally ill, married mother of four kids, ages 7 through 13, tells me.
Nearly two years ago, Brittany Maynard, at just 29 years old, became the face of the Right to Die movement now sweeping across the United States. In Oregon, surrounded by loved ones, she took her own life, legally, before a brain tumor could do it for her, with a self-administered overdose of physician-prescribed barbiturates. I supported her choice to end her agony.

Restraint Deaths and Cover-ups of Abuse of the Disabled
Jonathan Carey was developmentally disabled and had autism and only 13 when he was killed by his caregivers, Jonathan was illegally restrained
The shocking statements regarding the use of restraints by Jay Kiyonaga who is the acting Executive Director of the fraudulent New York State Justice Center are quite disturbing.
— Michael Carey
DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jonathan’s crime or offense was that he unbuckled his seat belt in a parked van. The New York State employed caregiver who was Jonathan’s one to one aide and who was to be in arms length of Jonathan to assist him and protect him left him for over twenty minutes to do a personal banking errand. The other NYS caregiver in the van, who had worked 197.5 hours within the two weeks, immediately put Jonathan into an illegal physical restraint restricting his breathing. Jonathan is my son and Jonathan should never have been restrained in any way. Jonathan was the most loving person that I have ever met and you should get to know him and some of the horrific things he endured. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/nyregion/boys-death-highlights-crisis-in-homes-for-disabled.html - http://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html

How to get a job in Clinton's world
Hacked Podesta emails reveal flattery, insider connections for job seekers.
If you're wondering how to get a job in a Hillary Clinton White House, start by reading campaign chairman John Podesta's hacked emails.
From a billionaire plugging a federal official for a cabinet appointment to Podesta himself plugging the daughter of a friend for an internship, the trove of Podesta’s correspondence posted by WikiLeaks is a portrait of Washington insiderism, showing powerful people turning into supplicants using connections and flattery.
A new president has 4,000 political appointments to dole out. And as Podesta went from running a think tank to serving as a counselor to Barack Obama to joining the Clinton campaign, everybody from high-ranking officials to college undergraduates jockeyed to get themselves or their friends onto his radar.
One tip: Have someone well-connected float your name.

Obama’s Cabinet Was Built By A Wall Street Banker
Well, well, well, what do we have here?
It seems that the President who claimed he was all for Main Street, and was willing to take on Wall Street was telling bold-faced lies the whole time.
It turns out that Barack Obama’s Presidential Cabinet positions were filled not by an everyday layman, not at the advice of someone who can relate to the average middle-class American, but by a Wall Street Executive of Citibank. And the best part about it is that he made these recommendations while holding an executive position!
Zero Hedge reported:
Perhaps the most startling discovery of the WikiLeaks dumps so far didn’t come from the most recent emails surrounding the various Hillary scandals, though there are many great ones, but from 2008 when John Podesta served as co-chair of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team. The email came from Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, who single-handedly built the entire cabinet of what was supposed to be the “main street” President.
The email in question was even sent from Froman’s Citibank email address (rookie!) and includes “A list of African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, broken down by Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant level, plus a list of Native American, Arab/Muslim American and Disabled American candidates.”
Apparently Obama wasn’t as worried about placing women in senior-level positions but Froman decided to offer up some suggestions anyway.

Medicare at age 76!
If you don't read this, and do nothing about it, don't complain when it affects you or your loved ones! This is the second Judge to have read the Obama Care document comments. More highlights of Nancy's "pass it and then find out what's in the bill"! Show this to everyone nearing the ripe old age of 76. These are just a few of the things that we seniors are going to have to deal with which started in 2014.
Even far left Democrats will not like these.
MEDICARE AT AGE 76, IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - ANYONE WHO DOUBTS THIS IS TRUE CAN DOWNLOAD THE NEW OBAMACARE AND LOOK UP THE PAGES
MENTIONED. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING....
THIS should be read by everyone, especially important to those over 75....... If you are younger, then it may apply to your parents. Your hospital Medicare admittance has just changed under ObamaCare.
You must be admitted by your primary Physician in order for Medicare to pay for it! If you are admitted by an emergency room doctor, it is treated as outpatient care where hospital costs are not covered. This is only the tip of the iceberg for Obama Care.
Just wait to see what else went into effect in 2014. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS... At age 76, when you most need it most, you are NOT eligible for cancer treatment...
* see page 272. What Nancy Pelosi didn't want us to know
until after the healthcare bill was passed. Remember, she
said, "We have to pass the Bill so that we can see what's in
it." Well, here it is.
Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number THE CARE BILL HB 3200 JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL.
Judge KITHIL of Marble Falls, TX highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200. Please read this...... especially the reference to pages 58 & 59. JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the
government) for all union members, union retirees and for
community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).
Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.
Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration
care according to the patient's age.
Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)
Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify
which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:
"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress.
No wonder they did not see the need to read it....doesn't apply to them!!! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP TO WASHINGTON
.....
I don't know if we can do anything, but awareness helps.
Winds Of Change -- Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn, ask each of those to do likewise.
At least 20 if you can.
It has to stop somewhere.
