Judicial Watch: Obama Administration Withholds Draft Whitewater Indictment of Hillary Clinton - Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch: Obama Administration Withholds Draft Whitewater Indictment of Hillary Clinton - Judicial Watch:
"The draft indictments relate to allegations that Clinton provided false information and withheld evidence from federal investigators to conceal her involvement with the defunct Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan, the collapse of which lead to multiple criminal convictions. Clinton provided legal representation to Madison Guaranty as an attorney at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas. Clinton’s Rose Law Firm billing records, long sought by prosecutors, were found in the private quarters of the White House shortly after an important statute of limitations had expired.
In its motion for summary judgment, the National Archives confirmed that it has located the Clinton draft indictments, stating, "

Actually, not-----Rough landing in Oklahoma City!
Oklahoma City Airport video shows moment plane was almost pushed off the runway
Heart-stopping video of a plane being pushed off the runway upon landing in Oklahoma City in 60 mph winds - but the pilot corrects it just in time
Footage taken by a helicopter Wednesday at Will Rogers Airport The United Airlines flight looked as if it would overshoot the runway
Strong winds twisted the plane as it came in to land However the pilot managed to straighten up the aircraft in time
This is the incredible moment that a pilot manages to successfully land a plane in Oklahoma City in strong 60 mph winds.
A video taken by a KFOR-TV's Bob Moore Chopper 4 shows the United Airlines flight being pushed away from the runway as it came in to land in the far-from-ideal conditions on Wednesday afternoon.
As the plane approached the runway, it is clearly thrown off course by the wind, and looks as if it might overshoot its landing.
The plane appears to be veering to the right of the runway as it sets down.
The footage shows the aircraft shaking and struggling to get on track.
However, without seconds to spare, the pilot manages to straighten the plane up, and it makes a bumpy landing.
The landing was a great feat by the pilot, given the conditions.
The video was taken at Will Rogers Airport.

Peeling the rotting onion-----City wants to pump $30 million into Detroit pension funds to address shortfall
City wants to pump $30 million into Detroit pension funds to address shortfall - Crain's Detroit Business:
"The city could set aside $30 million this year — three times as much as initially planned — to cover an estimated $500 million pension shortfall, Detroit's CFO John Hill said Monday.
Hill revealed the more aggressive plan to deal with surprise budget problem first disclosed during Mayor Mike Duggan's State of the City address in February — a problem that emerged despite Detroit filing bankruptcy three years ago and shedding $7 billion in debt.
The payment is part of an overall plan to contribute as much as $70 million in the short-term to deal with a pension shortfall that must be repaid starting in 2024.
Duggan blamed the shortfall on an unnamed bankruptcy consultant using outdated mortality tables to calculate life expectancy of city retirees.
...Meanwhile, the city is trying to pinpoint the exact size of the shortfall.
The city is close to hiring a firm to conduct pension and actuarial services.
A firm could be selected in two weeks, Hill said.
"The number is about $500 million higher than expected," Hill told commissioners.
"What we really want to come out of this contract is what that range is going to be..."

Corporate Debt Defaults Explode To Catastrophic Levels Not Seen Since The Last Financial Crisis
Corporate Debt Defaults Explode To Catastrophic Levels Not Seen Since The Last Financial Crisis
"If a new financial crisis had already begun, we would expect to see corporate debt defaults skyrocket, and that is precisely what is happening.
As you will see below, corporate defaults are currently at the highest level that we have seen since 2009.
A wave of bankruptcies is sweeping the energy industry, but it isn’t just the energy industry that is in trouble.
In fact, the average credit rating for U.S. corporations is now lower than it was at any point during the last recession.
This is yet another sign that we are in the early chapters of a major league economic crisis.
Yesterday I talked about how 23.2 percent of all Americans in their prime working years do not have a job right now, but today I am going to focus on the employers.
Big corporate giants all over America are in deep, deep financial trouble, and this is going to result in a tremendous wave of layoffs in the coming months.
We should rejoice that U.S. stocks have rebounded a bit in the short-term, but the euphoria in the markets is not doing anything to stop the wave of corporate defaults that is starting to hit Wall Street like a freight train.
Zero Hedge is reporting that we have not seen this many corporate defaults since the extremely painful year of 2009…"

Obama Flies to Argentina... Look at the Unbelievable Item He Took With Him
Obama Flies to Argentina... Look at the Unbelievable Item He Took With Him:
"President Barack Obama stopped in Argentina on his way back from a controversial trip to Cuba, and decided to bring along one special item just for his enjoyment.
The president took not one but two Air Force One planes to Argentina, according to The Washington Times.
The first family traveled aboard the presidential aircraft sometimes known as “baby” Air Force One to go sightseeing in Argentina just days after a terrorist attack rocked Brussels, Belgium."

Obama Doubles Down on Syrian Refugee Policy During Easter Address
Obama Doubles Down on Syrian Refugee Policy During Easter Address | PJ Media:
"President Barack Obama used an Easter Weekend radio address to double down on his promise to admit 100,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees into the United States this year.
He also vowed to "root out" and "defeat" the Islamic State, but obviously it will be be up to the next commander in chief to fulfill that promise.
Via the Washington Examiner:
"We have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counterterrorism work, and our diplomacy," Obama said.
"And that's the power of our example.
Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence.
Our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda – a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause."
...Obama's Syrian and Iraqi refugee program has become a divisive issue in the U.S. in recent months, with most polls showing a majority of Americans opposed to bringing in legions of Muslims from terrorist-infested countries."

Why Are Millennial Men Such Wimps?
Why Are Millennial Men Such Wimps? | PJ Media:

Ladies -- sick of posturing hipsters still living in mom's basement while they role-play their lives away, in between trying to pick up chicks with somebody else's money? You're not alone:
Last week, Tomi Lahren, a 23-year-old political commentator for The Blaze, ended her show by raising the following question:“Is it just me, or have men gotten really soft these days?”She goes on:“This has nothing to do with sexuality. It has to do with the helplessness of today’s young men. It seems few can change a light bulb let alone fix a flat tire or change oil, and that makes for pretty slim pickings for the females out there looking for a match.
Chivalry is all but dead, and so is manliness. And by the way, wearing a flannel shirt and having a beard doesn’t make you a man if you still can’t change a tire and are scared of the dark. It seems like millennial men either don’t have jobs or are still using their parents’ credit cards to buy us drinks at the bar…So whose fault is it? Is it our fault, ladies? Are we getting too strong? Nah, I don’t buy that. See, a real man knows how to handle a strong woman, so this isn’t our problem. Maybe it’s the way boys are raised these days: fatherless homes and no male role models. It’s hard to learn how to be a man with no man around.”
“Please teach your sons to be men, because the women of the world are tired of the boys.”
Islands trying to use 100% green energy failed, went back to diesel
Islands trying to use 100% green energy failed, went back to diesel:
"The islands of Tasmania and El Hierro tried to power their economies with 100 percent green energy, but both islands eventually went back to diesel generators after suffering reliability problems and soaring energy costs.
These islands may be on opposite sides of the Earth, but they became poster children for environmentalists campaigning for countries to ditch fossil fuels.
The fact remains that Tasmania and El Hierro saw their energy sectors become costly failures after going green, according to the free market Institute for Energy Research (IER) published Thursday.
“One of the biggest reasons that natural gas, oil, and coal are the world’s most-used energy resources is because they are incredibly reliable,” Daniel Simmons, vice president for policy at IER, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“By the same token, wind struggles to compete with conventional fuels because it is inherently unreliable.”
...El Hierro was supposed to be the poster child for 100 percent green energy.
The island, located in the Spanish Canary Islands, replaced its diesel power plant with a hybrid wind power and pumped hydro storage system worth $94 million in 2014.
The system has only been active since June of 2015.
The expensive system, however, provided an unpredictable amount of power and couldn’t even electrify the entire island.
...The sheer unpredictability of the system damages the island’s electrical grid and forces the island to rely on the diesel power it was supposed to replace..."

23 Percent Of Americans In Their Prime Working Years Are Unemployed
23 Percent Of Americans In Their Prime Working Years Are Unemployed:
"Did you know that when you take the number of working age Americans that are officially unemployed (8.2 million) and add that number to the number of working age Americans that are considered to be “not in the labor force” (94.3 million), that gives us a grand total of 102.5 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now?
I have written about this before, but today I want to focus just on Americans that are in their prime working years.
When you look at only Americans that are from age 25 to age 54, 23.2 percent of them are unemployed right now.
The following analysis and chart come from the Weekly Standard…
Here’s a chart showing those in that age group currently employed (95.6 million) and those who aren’t (28.9 million):
“There are 124.5 million Americans in their prime working years (ages 25–54).
Nearly one-quarter of this group—28.9 million people, or 23.2 percent of the total—is not currently employed.
They either became so discouraged that they left the labor force entirely, or they are in the labor force but unemployed.
This group of non-employed individuals is more than 3.5 million larger than before the recession began in 2007,” writes the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee.
...What are we to make of all this?
For both men and women in their prime working years, the inactivity rate is even higher than it was during the last recession and is hovering near the all-time record.
All of these people neither have a job nor are they looking for one.
So what in the world is going on here?
Are they independently wealthy?
Have these people found rich spouses to marry so they don’t have to work?
No, the truth is that the middle class in America is steadily eroding and poverty is absolutely exploding.
Credit card debt has soared to a new record high, and 48 percent of all U.S. adults under the age of 30 believe that “the American Dream is dead”.
The issue isn’t that people don’t want to work.
The issue is that people cannot find enough work..."

Armed Services Chair Exposes Obama's TREASON... We Are ALL In Danger:
"It’s wholly inconceivable that, after being given massive amount of time to submit a congressionally required report on how they plan to defeat the Islamic State group, they delivered a seven-page document five weeks late.
That’s 1.4 pages for every week late. At only seven pages, I’ve written longer papers in one night for my 6th grade social studies class. Not only that, I bet they were better.
The inattention to the Islamic State group — and to the congressional committees practicing oversight on on it — that the Obama administration is engaging in is tantamount to treason. Just this week, two Americans died in the attack on Brussels carried out by terrorists connected to the Islamic State group."

Gotta bum out the hysterics-----California's largest reservoir filling too fast thanks to El Nino, must release more water
California's largest reservoir filling too fast thanks to El Nino, must release more water - LA Times:
The El Niño-fueled storms that have swept through Northern California in recent weeks have swelled some of the state’s largest reservoirs to encouraging levels even as the state's drought persists.
One of the biggest beneficiaries has been Lake Shasta, a keystone reservoir of the Central Valley project, which serves California growers.
To make room in Shasta for water from last weekend’s storms, the Federal Bureau of Reclamation ramped up releases from 5,000 cubic feet per second to 20,000 cubic feet per second on March 18.
“We just slowed how fast we were gaining.”
Lake Shasta, he added, is “still gaining storage and will continue to do so.”
On Thursday, Shasta was holding about 3.9 million acre feet of water, or 87% of its capacity and 110% of average for the day.
Lake Shasta is California's biggest reservoir and a key source of water for the state.

BREAKING: Ex-Obama Intel Head Defects, Reveals Sick Obama Plan for America
BREAKING: Ex-Obama Intel Head Defects, Reveals Sick Obama Plan for America:
"A former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency struck back this Wednesday against what he believed to be an inordinately misguided plan by President Barack Obama to force America to bask in “multicultural appeasement.”
The retired director, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, made the case that Obama’s purposeful appeasement of Muslims was placing America at great risk, though he also noted that this appeasement was a problem in Europe as well."
