Maryland Secretary of State John Wobensmith Announces Dissolution of Deceptive Veterans Charity
Maryland Joins 24 States in Settlement
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Secretary of State John C. Wobensmith and Attorney General Brian Frosh today announced that Maryland and 24 other states have approved a settlement with VietNow National Headquarters, Inc., an Illinois nonprofit corporation, resulting in the organization’s dissolution.
Since March 2015, VietNow – which also uses the name VeteransNow – had been raising money using deceptive telemarketing solicitation scripts. In response to the investigation by attorneys general from multiple states, including Maryland, VietNow admitted that it had not funded any programs assisting veterans. In addition, other VietNow scripts claimed that VietNow provided “medical facilities and treatment” to veterans but VietNow’s response identified no such programs. According to VietNow’s own fundraising report, less than 5% of funds raised went to its charitable programs. VietNow reported raising nearly $2 million nationwide.
“Scam artists who falsely claim to help veterans actually harm reputable veterans’ charities who, in fact, provide essential programs and services that support our troops and their families,” said Secretary of State Wobensmith. “We urge potential donors to be wary. These scammers are on the lookout for ways to take advantage of donors, often preying on those who want to help veterans. If you choose to give, please donate to well-established charities. We urge donors to check our website to determine if a charity is eligible to solicit in Maryland. Remember, give wisely and be wary of sketchy charities.”
“Scam veteran charities prey upon the generosity and goodwill of consumers who choose to support our veterans and military families,” said Attorney General Frosh. “Nationwide, we’ve stopped yet another sham charity from defrauding the public.”
The settlement appoints a receiver to dissolve VietNow and also obtains injunctive relief against VietNow’s directors and officers. The settlement also requires their cooperation in investigations of VietNow’s professional fundraisers. Upon dissolution, VietNow’s remaining funds will be paid to two national and well-respected veterans’ charities, Fisher House Foundation and Operation Homefront.

Is Lenny Bruce Too Much for Brandeis to Handle?
Lenny Bruce made a career of transgressing traditional social mores with his stand-up routines, culminating in his conviction for obscenity in 1964.
Now a production of a play based on Bruce’s comedy at Brandeis University has been canceled, after students and alumni rallied in opposition. They complained about what they called the play’s offensive and objectionable content, though this time objections came from the left.
The play, Buyer Beware, written by Brandeis alumnus Michael Weller, was originally scheduled to be put on by the university's theater department this month. Following backlash from students and alumni who organized against the play, faculty members postponed the play until the spring semester. Weller has since decided to take the production elsewhere, and as a result, the university has lost the script and the rights to stage the play, Brandeis spokesman Ira Jackson said via email.
The original postponement would have aligned the play with a semester-long course “that would thoroughly and deeply explore within an educational context the many uncomfortable and provocative issues it raises,” Jackson said. That course is still set to be taught next semester.
Though Bruce died in 1966, the play takes place in the present. According to drafts of the play reported on by two student publications at Brandeis, the play’s main character discovers old recordings of Bruce’s stand-up routine and makes plans to deliver a similar performance at Brandeis, which is met with university pushback and student protests.

SCHLICHTER: Democrats Drive Toward the Cliff and Hit the Gas
Leftist madness and anti-Americanism destroying Democrat party
We’ve long called the GOP “The Stupid Party,” and it certainly deserves the nickname, but what’s the right family-friendly adjective for the Democrat Party? “The Moronic Party?” “The Mind-Bogglingly Nuts Party?”
What moniker best reflects a party you dare not trust with power? These people are to governing as Kevin Spacey is to babysitting.
Just look at the Democrats’ governor’s race in the Commonwealth of Virginia – to the extent that it’s a race and not one of those weird pilgrimages where the marchers flog themselves every step of the way. Not that Democrats don’t deserve flogging – and it’s only a matter of time before that perversion comes out in the context of some high visibility Hillary supporter/pervert in Hollywood or the media – but what’s happening in Virginia is pretty pathetic even for them. Which makes it all the more delicious.

Bannon: ‘The Middle East Is on a Knife Edge in the Last 48 to 72 Hours’
Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steve Bannon analyzed the dramatic weekend events in Saudi Arabia on Monday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily on the SiriusXM Patriot Channel.
Bannon said a driving force behind the transformation of Saudi Arabia and other major events in the Middle East is the recognition by many regional powers that “President Trump and the United States of America have had enough of it and are just not going to tolerate anymore this financing, the exporting of radical Islamic terror into Western Europe and the United States.”
He recalled Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s giving a landmark speech several years ago about “how Islam had to reform itself internally to Islam, just like Christianity went through a huge reformation.”

Poll: Views of Democratic Party hit lowest mark in 25 years
Washington (CNN)Favorable views of the Democratic Party have dropped to their lowest mark in more than a quarter century of polling, according to new numbers from a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Only 37% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Democrats, down from 44% in March of this year. A majority, 54%, have an unfavorable view, matching their highest mark in polls from CNN and SSRS, CNN/ORC and CNN/USA Today/Gallup stretching back to 1992.

6 Tips to Prevent Hearing Loss
Millions of Americans go through their daily lives without hearing well, particularly as they grow older. But there are ways to keep your hearing sharp, a top expert says.
“Hearing loss is a bigger problem than people want to admit. Hearing loss impacts not only you, but also the other person you need to communicate with as well,” Dr. Sreekant Cherukuri tells Newsmax Health.
About 48 million people – 20 percent of the U.S. population – report some degree of hearing loss. For people who reach the age of 65, this number rises to one in three, the Hearing Loss Association of America (ALAA) says.
Hearing loss is defined as not being able to hear as well as normal. It ranges from mild (being able to hear others in one-on-one conversations but not well in a crowd) to profound (unable to discern loud conversation without a hearing aid.)
“Hearing loss can come with aging, but too often it’s assumed that most people with it are over the age of 65. This is a myth,” says Cherukuri, an ear, nose, and throat doctor and founder of MDHearingAid, a direct-to-consumer provider of hearing aids.

17 Cases of Multi-Drug-Resistant TB Reported in Minnesota
An outbreak of 17 cases of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) has been reported in Ramsey County, the second most populous county in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Health confirmed to Breitbart News on Monday.
“The outbreak has primarily affected elderly residents in the Hmong community, with 10 cases linked to a senior center where the first case was detected in 2016. Four other Hmong residents were also infected. So far six of the 17 people have died, three as a direct result of tuberculosis [TB],” the Star Tribune reported on Monday adding:
“It’s important to remember that most of these are men or the close relatives of men who fought for us in Laos during the Viet Nam War,” the Minnesota Department of Health spokesperson told Breitbart News.

Clinton Loyalists At Foggy Bottom Are Outraged Over Tillerson Push To Fulfill FOIA Requests, Here's Why...
Nearly a month ago, in an October 17th email to all State Department employees, Rex Tillerson announced his decision to ramp up FOIA processing to clear a backlog of requests. As part of the new effort, Tillerson set an ambitious—some say implausible—goal of clearing the massive backlog by the end of 2017.
Of course, while more transparency, rather than less, from government entities is generally considered a positive thing, the army of Clinton loyalists still occupying career positions at the State Department are suddenly concerned about efforts to speed the disclosure of documents from the Clinton era and say it's nothing more than a political witch hunt. From Politico:
Tillerson says his goal is transparency. But many State workers fear the real reason is political: expediting the public release of thousands of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s official emails.
"It's a remarkable misuse of resources to advance what is at its core a partisan political aim," one affected State employee said. "We all know what's going on. And, of course, we're all unhappy that we're being made a part of it."
Tillerson’s email, among other things, said the department’s FOIA backlog stretches back roughly a decade...ironically, that's about how long ago Hillary Clinton took over as Secretary of State...though we're certain that's just a coincidence.
According to Judicial Watch, the State Department has yet to process around 40,000 pages of at least 72,000 records which contain Clinton emails. However, State Department officials have indicated they believe that many of those still-unreleased documents are duplicates of information already shared with the public.

Inside the Beltway: 'The Clintons are done in politics'
On Tuesday, the rest of America can get their own copy of Donna Brazile’s 288-page tell-all book when it is released by Hachette Books. Excerpts from “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That PutDonald Trumpin the White House” already have blasted the political landscape, leaving several large craters and plenty of pockmarks. Since her book project began, Ms. Brazile has maintained that even as a lifelong Democrat, she considers herself “an American first” — ready to tell the truth about crisis in her own party, whether it was financial woes or the role Hillary Clinton’s campaign played in compromising the presidential primary process in 2016, specifically directed against Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders.
The book’s caustic effects took root way before the publication date.
“The damage has been done already. Hillary is now involved in a third big scandal. First, there was the Russian uranium deal, the Russian dossier was deal No. 2, and now, No. 3, rigging the Democratic nomination,” summarizes Fox Business Network anchor Stuart Varney.
“It’s hard to tell why Donna Brazile did this. By telling all, she’s divided her own party. Maybe she’s selling books with dramatic headlines. Maybe. But perhaps she’s fed up with all the excuses Hillary and the Democrats are using for their loss to Donald Trump. Either way, the Clintons are done in politics, and the Democrats are going to struggle to unify behind a winning message, and a winning candidate — if they can find one,” says Mr. Varney.
Indeed, there have been many dramatic headlines about the book in the last 24 hours. Just a few of the many: “Democrats shaken and angered by Brazile book” (Politico), “Brazile revelations stir confusion, anger among Democrats” (The Hill), “By waiting a year to tell all, Donna Brazile gets tongues wagging” (The Daily Beast), “Brazile breaks Hillary’s spell over Dems” (Fox News).

Saudi Purge Goes Nuclear: Over 1,200 Bank Accounts Frozen
One day after we reported that Saudi Arabia has started to freeze the accounts of the dozens of arrested royals, ministers and businessmen, in the process allowing Mohammed bin Salman to further cement control over the Kingdom, the Kingdom has taken its "money laundering" crackdown to the next level and on Tuesday, Saudi banks have frozen more than 1,200 accounts belonging to individuals and companies in the kingdom as part of the government’s anti-corruption purge, bankers and lawyers told Reuters, adding that "the number is continuing to rise."
Since the "countercoup" on Sunday, the Saudi central bank has been expanding the list of accounts it is requiring lenders to freeze on an almost hourly basis, a regional banker told Reuters, and while he did not name the companies affected , he said they included listed and unlisted firms across many sectors.
The banker also said that if the freezes stayed in place for long, they could start to hurt day-to-day business activities such as paying staff and creditors or making other transactions. A second banker said, however, that most of the frozen accounts belonged to individuals rather than companies, and that banks were being allowed by the regulator to continue to fund existing commitments.
In an e-mailed statement, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, or SAMA, said suspension of bank accounts of “persons of interest” is in response to Attorney General’s request pending the legal cases against them, according to Governor Ahmed Abdulkarim Alkholifey says in emailed statement. SAMA clarified that individual accounts, rather than corporate businesses, have been put in suspension until final court rulings, and explained that - for now - corporate businesses remain unaffected, which means that are no restrictions on money transfers through proper banking channels. Assuming, of course, one isn't an "individual" on MbS's black list, and the money in the bank has effectively been nationalized.

Pat Caddell: U.S. Anti-Establishment Uprising Getting 'Stronger, Not Weaker'
Pollster and political analyst Pat Caddell joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Tuesday to discuss the 2016 election and politics in America today.
“I think it’s actually a bigger revolution than the Trump revolution,” said Caddell. “I think he’s the most obvious example of what I wrote a year ago … when I said the real November surprise was the uprising of the American people.”
“That uprising,” he continued, “is continual. It’s never covered. It’s never discussed. When I look at the data on this, it is, if anything, stronger, not weaker, and it is continuing to metamorphosize.”
Caddell pointed out that America unites around the feeling that the establishment has rigged the system against them. President Trump’s victory proved to people that they could beat the establishment and actually win.

Fusion GPS official met with Russian operative before and after Trump Jr. sit-down
The co-founder of Fusion GPS, the firm behind the unverified Trump dossier, met with a Russian lawyer before and after a key meeting she had last year with Trump’s son, Fox News has learned. The contacts shed new light on how closely tied the firm was to Russian interests, at a time when it was financing research to discredit then-candidate Donald Trump.
The opposition research firm has faced renewed scrutiny after litigation revealed that the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid for that research. Congressional Republicans have since questioned whether that politically financed research contributed to the FBI’s investigation of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – making Fusion’s 2016 contacts with Russian interests all the more relevant.

Raiders Line Let Carr Get Hurt?
Wife Of NFL Player Claims Raiders Let Derek Carr Get Hurt Over Anthem Protests

Miko Grimes made an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” where she emphatically claimed the star quarterback’s views on the anthem protests led to his offensive line allowing him to get crushed. She even went further and said his views led to locker room fights.
“A lot of people don’t know, but the reason Derek Carr got injured was because the Raiders offensive line allowed him to get injured,” Miko explained as she launched into her story.

Doctor Burnout Big Health Threat
Complaining of burnout and job dissatisfaction, many U.S. doctors plan to reduce their work hours or leave medicine altogether, a new study reveals.
"Our findings have profound implications for health care organizations," according to the researchers from the American Medical Association (AMA), the Mayo Clinic and Stanford University.
The study found that about one in five doctors intends to reduce work hours in the next year. And about one in 50 intends to leave medicine for a different career within the next two years.
The demands of electronic health records were among the challenges leading to job dissatisfaction.
If only 30 percent of those doctors follow through on their plans to leave medicine, that would mean a loss of nearly 4,800 doctors. That's about the same as losing the graduating classes of 19 U.S. medical schools in each of the next two years, the researchers explained.

McAuliffe: ‘Nobody Cares’ Whether DNC Rigged Primary
Monday on MSNBC, Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) dismissed the allegations laid out by former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile in her forthcoming book, “Hacks.”
In her book, Brazile said the 2016 process for choosing the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, which was Hillary Clinton, was rigged.

Ditching Smartphones: ‘Dumbphones’ With Basic Functions Appealing To Some
These days, our smartphones can do it all.
“Track my sleep, track my workouts,” said David Dahan of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
“I use it a lot for mobile banking,” added Megan Killea of Philadelphia.
“Snapchat,” laughed Alicia Dyson of North Philly.
Gone are the days when phones are used to simply talk or text. But, what if we could go back to just that?
“Disconnect for a while, stress-free,” said Patrice White.
Christina Colon of Brooklyn, New York wasn’t so sure. “I don’t think I’d be able to function going back,” she said.
As Apple and Android release $1,000 smartphones, with more features than ever, could dumbphones be the next big seller?

Stephen Hawking: AI Could Be 'Worst Event in History of Civilization'
Physicist Stephen Hawking reportedly warns that artificial intelligence (AI) could be the "worst event in the history of our civilization."
He urged creators of AI to "employ best practice and effective management," CNBC cited him as saying.
Hawking, a British cosmologist who was diagnosed with motor neuron disease aged 21, said technology could transform every aspect of life but cautioned that artificial intelligence poses new challenges.
He did say that technology can hopefully reverse some of the harm caused to the planet by industrialization and help end disease and poverty, Reuters reported.
He said artificial intelligence and robots are already threatening millions of jobs - but this new revolution could be used to help society and for the good of the world such as alleviating poverty and disease.
