Blackburn: Hillary Clinton’s Russian ‘Pay-to-Play’ Uranium Scheme Top Example of Her Corruption
A senior Tennessee Republican congresswoman told Breibart News Saturdaythe dealings between the State Department led by Hillary R. Clinton, Russia, and the Clinton Foundation are a prime example of how the Clintons established a unique business model that brokered government decisions and made them fabulously wealthy.
“They’re the ones who have been dealing with the Russians,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R.-Tenn.) to Breitbart Radio host Matthew Boyle in a live interview on the SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 program.
Blackburn was referring to the attention the media has given supposed ties between the Russian government and Clinton’s GOP rival Donald J. Trump.
An example of how the linkage came to be is seen in an Dec. 21, 2015 email from former Democratic Capitol Hill aide and columnist Brent Budowsky to John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s presidential campaign:

Susan Rice's personal bio documents, including pot use, revealed by WikiLeaks
Sensitive personal data including the drug-use history of Susan E. Rice, President Obama’s top national-security adviser, has been exposed by the publication of hacked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.
WikiLeaks published information disclosing Ms. Rice’s Social Security number, passport number, stock holdings, cell phone number, and a personal history in which she acknowledged past use of marijuana. It also contains details of her medical history.
The documents include one in which Ms. Rice admitted on a security clearance form that she smoked marijuana for “recreational use” until 1990. A former Clinton administration official, Ms. Rice said that she smoked marijuana “very infrequently” from October 1982 until June 1990, according to the documents.
“Rare recreational use of marijuana prior to and in 1990. None since 1990,” she wrote on the form.
Mr. Obama also has acknowledged smoking marijuana regularly as a teen in Hawaii.
WikiLeaks has been publishing thousands of emails hacked from the personal account of John Podesta, who is Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman and served as Mr. Obama’s counselor earlier in his second term.

Stray cat patrol: Feral felines deployed in NYC war on rats
NEW YORK (AP) — Multitudes of feral cats roam New York City's concrete jungle, and some now have a practical purpose: They're helping curb the city's rat population.
A group of volunteers trained by the NYC Feral Cat Initiative traps wild cat colonies that have become a nuisance or been threatened by construction, then spays or neuters and vaccinates them. The goal is to return them to their home territory, but some end up in areas rife with rats.
Feline rat patrols keep watch over city delis and bodegas, car dealerships and the grounds of a Greenwich Village church. Four cats roam the loading dock at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, where food deliveries and garbage have drawn rodents for years.
"We used to hire exterminators, but nature has a better solution," said Rebecca Marshall, the sustainability manager at the 1.8-million-square-foot center. "And cats don't cost anything."
About 6,000 volunteers have completed workshops where they've learned proper ways to trap cats.

Podesta Find Raises Some Question

Calls, Texts Between Davis, Judge During Gray Trials Raise Questions
Some communication between Baltimore's police commissioner and an administrative judge is raising questions.
Through a Maryland Public Information Act request, the 11 News I-Team obtained records of telephone calls and text messages between Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis and Baltimore City Circuit Administrative Judge Michel Pierson, the boss of Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams, who presided over the trials of the officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray.
Both the judge and police commissioner declined to tell 11 News what they discussed.
Legal analysts agree that coordinating security on decision days is a legitimate reason for the communication, but they question contact on the weekend and on days of routine testimony.
Davis and Pierson communicated with each other at least 26 times during the officers' trials.
Davis released a statement Friday, saying, "Of course, I was in contact with the court during the trials. The community has a vested interest in addressing any potential public safety concerns before they arise. Anyone who doesn't understand that leadership requires preventive conversations doesn't understand leadership."

How Ethanol COSTS Farmers At Least $57 BILLION
A federal ethanol mandate has cost American farmers at least $57 billion dollars through increased corn prices, according to calculations by the National Chicken Council.
The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requires refiners to blend a certain amount of ethanol into fuel and has caused corn prices to rise dramatically. Corn has cost the U.S. chicken industry $57 billion since 2005, according to calculations using U.S. Department of Agriculture data.
Chicken companies have struggled to pay these high costs. “During the RFS era, at least a dozen chicken companies have ceased operations – filing for bankruptcy, being acquired by another company, or closing their doors altogether, ” Tom Super, vice president of communications at The National Chicken Council, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Other industries that use large amounts of corn have also suffered, and ethanol production may have even caused food riots and shortages in developing nations.

WikiLeaks: Clinton Political Director Wanted Hillary to Say 'Yo Mama' at Black College
Hillary Clinton’s political director wondered whether the candidate should say “yo mama” during a speech at a historically black college near Birmingham, Alabama, leaked emails reveal.
As her team rushed to revise remarks for a February 27 speech at Miles College, Amanda Renteria wrote to her colleagues the day before: “Is everyone comfortable w her saying ‘Yo Mama’?”
“No – pls let’s revise,” senior policy advisor Maya Harris wrote back.
Clinton went on to deliver remarks to a “roaring crowd” at Miles College, according to the Associated Press, without the the “yo mama.”
In April, Clinton went on a New York City radio show called “The Breakfast Club,” where black hosts asked her what she always carried in her purse:
When asked what item she always carried with her, she replied, “Hot sauce.”
“You getting in Formation right now?” asked one of the amazed hosts, citing the lyrics of the Beyoncé song about keeping hot sauce in her bag. He suggested African-Americans would likely see her comment as “pandering to black people.”
“O.K… Is it workin’?” she replied, laughing.

Obama Released 52K Illegal Alien Kids Into the US in FY2016
Anyone remember when Jeh Johnson vowed that our borders weren’t open to illegal immigration, or when President Obama promised that anyone who recently crossed into the U.S. from Mexico wouldn't be allowed to stay?
The lie detector test determined: those were lies.
According to recently released data reviewed by MRCTV, the Dept. of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement released another 52,147 illegal alien kids into the United States in fiscal year 2016, averaging about 149 per day. Processed as "refugees," these children are in many cases sent to a family member who's also here illegally.
A total of 5,203 kids were released in September alone, based on the numbers ORR released in August.
Not only is the year-end number shocking in its size alone, it’s also nearly double the number of kids the administration released in FY2015, when 27,840 unaccompanied minors were sent to sponsors in the United States.

9 Things You Need To Know About Illegal Immigration And Crime
Illegal immigration and crime became a hot topic this election cycle as soon as Donald Trump burst into the Republican primary with his call to build a wall to keep criminal illegal aliens out of the country. Such policy discussions have fallen by the wayside as the election cycle morphed into a mudslinging fight of personal insults and accusations of sexual assaults, but the link between illegal immigration and crime is still worth discussing, especially since Trump's initial highlighting of the issue fueled his rise.
Here are nine things you need to know about illegal immigration and crime.
1. Federal, state and local governments keep data involving illegal immigration and crime out of the public purview. Fox News reported in 2015 that a source from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said "that comprehensive statistics on illegal immigrant crime are not available from the federal government, and suggested contacting county, state and federal jail and prison systems individually to compose a tally, a process that would encompass thousands of local departments."
Former Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams also told Fox News that some states do readily track illegal immigration and crime, but they withhold the specific numbers from the public out of fear of backlash from the federal government or for political purposes.
However, there is still some data that can be pieced together to examine illegal immigration and crime, and evidence suggests that there is a correlation between the two.
2. Available evidence suggests that illegals are more likely to commit crimes than the rest of the population.

Clinton has 'nothing to say' about email revealing $12M deal with Morocco's king
A stone-faced Hillary Clinton refused to comment on an email a top aide sent calling a Clinton Foundation quid pro qou a 'mess' of the former secretary of state's own making.
'I have nothing to say about Wikileaks, other than I think we should all be concerned about what the Russians are trying to do to our election and using Wikileaks very blatantly to try to influence the outcome of the election,' Clinton said on Saturday.
The Democratic nominee was responding to a question posed by DailyMail.com during a media avail with reporters riding on her campaign plane.

Hogan: Side deal to keep Marriott in Md. is ‘necessary’
Marriott had been threatening to move out of the state and build its new $600 million headquarters elsewhere.
“We did not want to see them leave the state, and they were seriously considering it,” said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. Both Virginia and D.C. had been working hard to win over Marriott.
But a side deal that sweetened the pot to get the Fortune 500-company to stay in Maryland has some concerned. An incentives package offered to Marriott includes $22 million in subsidies from Montgomery County and another $22 million from the state of Maryland.
Hogan said the incentives package is necessary.

‘Don’t Vote for the Lying Witch’: Inside Donald Trump's Movement-Driven Sunshine State Effort to Defeat Hillary Clinton in Florida
MIAMI, Florida — Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump’s unorthodox campaign in Florida is still neck-and-neck with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the latest polls, despite being outmatched in spending in this critical battleground state. The race remains close in large part thanks to the “movement” he often references from the stage at his rallies nationwide.
Over the past several weeks, Breitbart News has spent time with a variety of Trump backers in Florida—ranging from his campaign’s state co-chairman and Florida GOP vice chairman Joe Gruters to grassroots activists and die hard supporters—to figure out what exactly is driving Trump’s appeal in a state with 29 electoral votes critical to either candidate’s White House chances.

Troopers Investigating Stabbing Near Laurel
The incident occurred around 9:50 p.m. Sunday October 23, 2016 after troopers were dispatched to a report of a stabbing in the 7000 block of Airport Road. Upon their arrival it was determined that a 24-year-old male and a 20-year-old female were stabbed by their roommate, who was identified as Dwight L. Shivers, 29 of that address. Emergency Medical Services began treating the two and transported the female to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, while the male was airlifted to Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) in Salisbury, Maryland where he was admitted in stable condition. The female victim was expected to be released with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Through the investigation, it was determined that Shivers was asked to leave the residence by the homeowner due to him being intoxicated and other issues that had occurred in the house. After consulting with the 24-year-old male and his 20-year-old girlfriend, the female homeowner went outside to place a phone call when she heard noises coming from inside the house and looked inside to see Shivers standing over her 24-year-old brother stabbing him. Shortly before stabbing him, Shivers reportedly removed the kitchen knife from the drawer and stabbed the 20-year-old female while she was washing dishes in the kitchen. While the homeowner called 9-1-1, the two stabbing victims were able to flee the residence and run to a nearby neighbors house.
Shivers then entered the 20-year-old female victim's vehicle and drove away. Within a half hour of him leaving, he pulled into the Maryland State Police Barrack in Salisbury, Maryland, where he was taken into custody without incident. While there, he was transported to PRMC where he was treated and released for a knife wound to his leg that occurred during the incident in Laurel and then charged by Maryland State Troopers with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol. He is currently incarcerated at Wicomico County Detention Center pending extradition back to Delaware where he will be charged with Attempted Murder 1st, Assault 1st, two counts of Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony, and Theft of a Motor Vehicle.
