A number of Hillary Clinton’s top lobbyist bundlers, who have raised millions for her presidential campaign, either directly represent foreign entities or work at firms that represent foreign entities, according to documents from the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Unit.
Hillary for America, Clinton’s campaign committee, has hauled in more than $7 million in bundled lobbyist contributions since its inception. The committee finished 2015 with $4.1 million in bundled lobbyist contributions. It has since added more than $2.9 million to its coffers from lobbyists, with $1.2 million of that amount pouring in during the second quarter of 2016, from April 1 to June 30.
Tony Podesta, owner of the Podesta Group and brother of John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign, is a top bundler for Hillary for America. Podesta has bundled $267,835 in contributions to date. Podesta was hired to work on behalf of Saudi interests.
Saudi Arabia has built an extensive lobbying and public relations presence in the United States, the Washington Post reported in April. It has also supplied the Clinton Foundation with millions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given between $10 and $25 million to the foundation while Friends of Saudi Arabia has contributed between $1 and $5 million.
A Saudi government entity, called the Center for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court, hired the Podesta Group to push its interests. Podesta personally lobbies on the group’s behalf, and his firm collects $140,000 a month for its services.

DNC PANICS AS THEY GET EXPOSED BY WIKILEAKS FOR LIES AND CORRUPTION
“Today, Friday 22 July 2016 at 10:30am EDT, WikiLeaks releases 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee — part one of our new Hillary Leaks series” said WikiLeaks in an announcement on their website. On WikiLeak’s website anyone who visits the site can look through upwards of 20,000 emails by using a search bar that allows users to put certain keywords in to see if they pop up in the emails.
One of the emails that struck a chord with me was the one where they were trying to subject Bernie Sanders and ridicule him publicly for his religious beliefs. America is built upon religious freedom, not scrutiny.
It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.

Philadelphia Isn't Removing Felons From Voting Rolls
The city of Philadelphia is not removing incarcerated felons from its voter rolls despite being hit with a lawsuit, according to a watchdog group.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based election integrity group, suedthe city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in April over its questionable voter rolls. After meeting with city officials, the watchdog group announced that the city had not removed felons from those who are eligible to vote.
“After meeting with City officials, it has come to light that the City doesn’t remove or even flag incarcerated felons who are ineligible to vote in Pennsylvania,” the group said. “The number of incarcerated felons on the rolls and ineligible to vote likely numbers in the thousands. The Foundation is requesting urgent action from the Court to rectify the situation.”
The legal watchdog group filed a lawsuit against Philadelphia earlier this year for concealing election records. The city refused to provide information on possible non-citizen voters who were discovered by the group, prompting the legal challenge.
J. Christian Adams, the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, said the city is not ensuring election integrity.

Anheuser-Busch Distributor Incentive Program Raises More Concerns Of A Stifled Craft Beer Market
The Wall Street Journal reports that the incentive program, aimed at reversing a decline in sales, could provide as much as $1.5 million in reimbursements to independent distributors if 98% of the beers they sell come from AB InBev.
If a company’s sales volumes are made of 95% AB InBev brands – like Budweiser, Bud Light andrecently acquired craft beers from Golden Road and Goose Island – they would be eligible to have as much as half of their marketing support for the products — promotions and display costs — covered by the beer giant, according to distributors who spoke with the WSJ.
AB InBev has reportedly already told its network of 500 distributors, and others, that they would qualify for the incentive program as long as craft brewers they carry produce less than 15,000 barrels or sell beer only in one state.
When AB InBev announced the three-year plan at a meeting last month, the company estimated that participating distributors would receive an average of $200,000 in benefits annually.

"For its part, AB InBev must stop its questionable practice of providing anticompetitive incentives — like covering marketing costs for distributors who kept a strict limit on non-AB InBev products."

here in Salisbury on Rt #50 , back in May. Her dogs ' collar snapped

Joe posted Alysias' heart felt request to the public to help find "Her Dog , Cali" and many came forth to help search . Animal Control found "Cali" , after 4 days, not far from the accident site. She was somewhat dehydrated & hungry---but ----Alive & Well.
People in VA have kept "Cali" for a couple of months . Alysia was unable to come and get her since she'd suffered a cracked pelvic and required a rather long recooperation period with Physical Therapy.

Trump Reveals the Truth About Cruz's Convention Speech
At a Friday morning speech to RNC volunteers, Donald Trump revealed the truth to about Ted Cruz's controversial speech. Addressing the elephant in the room, Trump noted that Cruz "got booed the hell out of the place. Then, as Townhall's Cortney O'Brien notes, he got into the specifics of things:
Trump’s Friday remarks were supposed to focus on the thank yous - and he did for the most part, spending a few particular moments thanking the secret service and the Cleveland police, but he felt compelled to respond to Cruz’s antics.
“He may have ruined his political career,” Trump said. “He’ll come and endorse because he has no choice.”
Yet, if he gives his endorsement, Trump said “he will not accept it.”
The GOP nominee then explained what happened Wednesday night.
“I saw his speech,” Trump said. His team told him it’s a "boring speech" and the Texas senator even congratulates him for his nomination.
Then, when Cruz stepped up to the podium, he added a sentence, “which could have been viewed as a nasty thing and implying something,” Trump said.
“That’s dishonorable,” he added. “To me not signing a pledge is dishonorable.”
“I don’t want his endorsement,” Trump repeated. “Ted, just stay home, relax.”
The mainstream media, which has been wrong about every single element of this election to date, is billing Cruz's speech as a victory. It might have provided small comfort to those in the American political class, but to conservative voters whose primary concern is beating Hillary, the speech was a total disaster that confirmed for grassroots voters what many in the establishment have been saying for years- that Cruz's primary interest is in promoting himself.
