Dem Congresswoman Indicted After Investigation Reveals She Allegedly Used Charity as ‘Personal Slush Fund’ | TheBlaze.com

Dem Congresswoman Indicted After Investigation Reveals She Allegedly Used Charity as ‘Personal Slush Fund’ | TheBlaze.com:

"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida and her chief of staff pleaded not guilty Friday to multiple fraud charges and other federal offenses in a grand jury indictment unsealed after an investigation into what prosecutors call a phony charity turned into a personal slush fund.

Brown, a 69-year-old Democrat, and Chief of Staff Elias “Ronnie” Simmons, 50, entered pleas in Jacksonville federal court on charges of mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, obstruction and filing of false tax returns."



Hillary Clinton Blames Whites, Cops for Deaths of Young Black Men

Hillary Clinton Blames Whites, Cops for Deaths of Young Black Men - Breitbart
Image result for hillary racistHillary Clinton used a CNN interview on Friday to completely embrace the Democrats’ claim that white people and cops must change to help reduce the number of African-Americans killed in tense exchanges with cops.
“I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American  families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have ‘The Talk,’ about, you now, how to really protect themselves [from police], when they’re the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police,” Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.
I’m going to be talking to white people, we’re the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens,” she said.
...“We’ve got to start once again respecting and treating each other with the dignity that every person deserves,” she said.
The statement echoed a tweet from Friday morning. 
White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face every day.
To win in November, Clinton need a high turnout of African-American voters. 
Neither Blitzer nor Clinton suggested that African-American communities have a role in reducing police-encounter deaths, which usually occur in tense engagements between a few cops and a few suspects with extensive criminal histories.
In general, young African-American men are far more likely to commit crimes than young white men, young Asian men or young Latino men. A November 2011 report by the Justice Department showed that young African-American men are just 1 percent of the population, yet are responsible for a disproportionate percentage of murders in the nation. 

Clinton suggested that people who disagree with her agenda are racists. “There is so much more to be done… we can’t be engaging in hateful rhetoric or incitement of violence, we need to be bringing people together … we need more love and kindness.”

Stopping Taxpayer-backed Too-big-to-fail Banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley From Physical Commodities is Long Overdue

Stopping Taxpayer-backed Too-big-to-fail Banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley From Physical Commodities is Long Overdue | Better Markets:
Image result for big bank fraud"Washington, D.C. – Dennis Kelleher, President and CEO of Better Markets, issued this statement following comments by Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo calling for an end to allowing taxpayer-backed banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to engage in trading physical commodities.
“When Wall Street’s too-big-to-fail banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley lose on their big market bets, they run to U.S. taxpayers for bailouts like they did in 2008.
That’s why their highest risk activities need to be eliminated, limited, and regulated, including their massive multi-billion operations trading physical commodities like oil, aluminum, natural gas, and copper.
For example, taxpayer-backed Goldman Sachs is now a bigger natural gas merchant in North America than Chevron and ExxonMobil. 
“Making matters worse, in addition to trading physical commodities, these banks also engage in the derivatives, futures and cash commodities markets, all while their analysts regularly comment on these markets.
These multiple, simultaneous activities provide unique opportunities for these banks to manipulate the markets and otherwise take advantage of market participants, including commodity purchasers and producers who are trying to hedge genuine risk..."

Justice Department prosecuted 4 cases like Hillary’s:

"In his announcement on Tuesday, Comey said, “Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent.”

The "Heather Mac Donald" interview-----Rush Limbaugh - July 8, 2016 Full Podcast

26 police killed so far in 2016, up 44% from 2015

26 police killed so far in 2016, up 44% from 2015:
"The number of police officers shot and killed in the USA is 44% higher than at this time last year following the Dallas ambush Thursday night that left five officers dead, according to data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
The deaths of four Dallas police officers and one Dallas transit officer from sniper fire during a protest in the city Thursday raised the national total of firearm deaths among police to 26.
This compares with 18 at this point in time in 2015, said Nick Breul, director of research for the fund in Washington, D.C.
Breul said it was also the latest of 11 ambushes of police officers so far this year across the country, already outpacing the eight ambushes of law enforcement that occurred last year.
"That's certainly a concern for us.
It's troubling and it's something that we watch," Breul, a former Washington, D.C., police officer, said about the shootings.
"It's really an assassination.
You're taking advantage of an officer and you're ensuring that you're able to kill them through them either being vulnerable or through a complete surprise attack.""

MUST READ of the DAY!-----Heather Mac Donald Talks About Her Essential Book: The War on Cops - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Heather Mac Donald Talks About Her Essential Book: The War on Cops - The Rush Limbaugh Show:
"...MAC DONALD:  Well, let's look at some of the numbers. 
I know numbers are sometimes tough over the radio, but a larger proportion of white and Hispanic homicide deaths are the results of police killings than black homicide deaths. 
That is, 12 percent of all whites and Hispanics who die of homicide are killed by police officers.  Four percent of all blacks, homicide victims, are killed by police officers.  
So if we're going to have an Anti‑Cop Lives Matter movement it would make more sense to call it White and Hispanic Lives Matter.
The fact is that over 6,000 blacks die of homicide each year.  
That is more than white and Hispanic homicide victims combined, even though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population. 
And the reason they are dying of homicide at a rate six times higher than whites and Hispanics combined is because they commit homicide at eight times the rate higher than whites and Hispanics combined. 
And that type of crime disparity means that when the police are trying to save lives, they are in minority neighborhoods confronting people engaged in drive‑by shootings, killing children... "

Lots of FACTS here!

Special election for a 7 week term? Strange!-----Gov. Rick Snyder calls special election to fill seat of Rep who died hiking

Gov. Rick Snyder calls special election to fill seat of Rep who died hiking | MLive.com
LANSING, MI -- Gov. Rick Snyder on Tuesday called a special election to fill the seat of Rep. Julie Plawecki, D-Dearborn, who died suddenly while hiking in Oregon last month.
A special primary will take place on Aug. 30 and the general election for the remainder of Plawecki's term -- which runs through Dec. 31, 2016 -- will take place Nov. 8. Candidates must file for the special election primary by July 12.
Meanwhile, Democratic precinct delegates in the 11th House District will select the primary candidate who will run for the next term, which begins in January.
Plawecki did not have a challenger in the Democratic primary, meaning the party's delegates can fill the ballot vacancy by selecting somebody to run against the Republican primary winner.
The election for the next term, beginning Jan. 1, 2017, will also take place on Nov. 8 along with elections for all House members.

New book reveals Ice Age mariners from Europe were America's first inhabitants

New book reveals Ice Age mariners from Europe were America's first inhabitants | Smithsonian Insider
"Some of the earliest humans to inhabit America came from Europe according to a new book Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America’s Clovis Culture.
The book puts forward a compelling case for people from northern Spain traveling to America by boat, following the edge of a sea ice shelf that connected Europe and America during the last Ice Age, 14,000 to 25,000 years ago."
...Through archaeological evidence, they turn the long-held theory of the origins of New World populations on its head.
For more than 400 years, it has been claimed that people first entered America from Asia, via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea.
We now know that some people did arrive via this route nearly 15,000 years ago, probably by both land and sea.
...Groundbreaking discoveries from the east coast of North America are demonstrating that people who are believed to be Clovis ancestors arrived in this area no later than 18,450 years ago and possibly as early as 23,000 years ago, probably in boats from Europe. 
...In “Across Atlantic Ice,” the authors trace the origins of Clovis culture from the Solutrean people, who occupied northern Spain and France more than 20,000 years ago..."

Pay for New Ann Arbor Teachers Up 24-44 Percent in Four Years [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"In a speech before the Ann Arbor Board of Education this May, teacher Dan Ezekiel painted a bleak picture of compensation for teachers.
Ezekiel, a science teacher who also is involved in local politics by serving on various county and city boards and commissions, was concerned about the pay of starting teachers in the district.
He said he makes $3,000 less than he did eight years ago.
Michigan Capitol Confidential put in a Freedom of Information Act request for teacher salaries in Ann Arbor for the years 2010-11 to 2014-15.
...Ezekiel’s salary in 2010-11 was $79,830 and $79,177 in 2014-15, a $653 reduction over a four-year span.

Do we need a new government program to give us free cars?-----New Cars Are Too Expensive For The Typical Family, Says Study

New Cars Are Too Expensive For The Typical Family, Says Study - Slashdot:
"...A new analysis from Bankrate.com found that a median-income household in the U.S. could not afford the average price of a new vehicle in any of the 50 largest cities in the country, though cars are more affordable in some cities than others.
The average price of a new car or light truck in 2016 is about $34,000, according to Kelley Blue Book.
Image result for can't afford car cartoonThat's in part because new cars are loaded with helpful but expensive safety features like collision-avoidance systems.
Bankrate calculated an "affordable" purchase price for major cities, using median incomes from U.S. census data, and factoring in costs for sales taxes and insurance.
In San Jose, California -- the heart of Silicon Valley -- the median income is about $84,000, and an "affordable" new car purchase price is about $33,000 -- close to, but still below, the average new car price.
In lower-income cities, however, affordable purchase prices for a typical family are far below the average cost of a new car.
In Hartford, Connecticut, where the median income is about $29,000, an affordable purchase price is about $8,000 -- about a quarter of the average new-car price.
...The average loan amount topped $30,000, with the average term for a new-car loan in the 68-month range -- some stretch as long as seven years."

Congress Buys the Navy a $400 Million Pork Ship

Congress Buys the Navy a $400 Million Pork Ship - POLITICO Magazine
"...“The ship is not reliable,” the Pentagon’s operational test and evaluation director said in a report released in January, only the most recent such judgment it has made.
During 113 days of testing on one ship last year, some of the engines and water jets responsible for propelling the ship forward were out of commission for 45 days.

...But lawmakers on Capitol Hill—provoked or perhaps inspired by a steady stream of contractor donations and unusually determined Navy lobbying—are now on the verge of ordering the Pentagon to build more than Carter wanted.
...According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonprofit spending watchdog based in Washington, D.C., the House bill passed on June 16 contains at least $6.7 billion worth of research and armaments that the Defense Department’s leaders did not request in their February budget proposal. That’s even higher than the $4.6 billion in unwanted expenditures that Congress approved last year, the group says.
The House bill, for example, includes

  • $1.5 billion for an unrequested modern “amphibious” warship for dual land and sea missions, 
  • $400 million for four unrequested C-40 aircraft to carry cargo and commanders, and 
  • $1 billion worth of unrequested National Guard equipment, a perennial pork-barrel favorite, the Taxpayers for Common Sense report said..."

Obama & Co's Ugliest Spin: Uptick In ISIS Attacks Means We Got 'Em Right Where We Want 'Em

Obama & Co's Ugliest Spin: Uptick In ISIS Attacks Means We Got 'Em Right Where We Want 'Em:

"When it comes to watching innocent people slaughtered by Islamic State animals in the name of Allah, the Obama administration and its dutiful media minions can be downright cheerful.

Because when Muslim barbarians open fire in American nightclubs, leaving 49 dead, when suicide bombers blow themselves up in Turkish airports and take hostages in Bangladesh who are shot to death because they can’t recite Quranic verses, there’s a supposed upside Americans less attuned to the nuances of Obama-style internationalism might not appreciate.

The rampant violence of Islamic fanaticism spreading murder and mayhem across four continents in disparate attacks can mean only one thing to Secretary of State John Kerry & Co.: We’ve got ‘em right where we want ’em."

All about MONEY!-----Obama Admin Effort With Companies To Bring In Refugees

Obama Admin Effort With Companies To Bring In Refugees | The Daily Caller:
"The White House announced last week that it is launching a “Call to Action” asking private businesses to help with the resettlement of refugees.
This could be done without regard to the government cap of 85,000 total refugees, including 10,000 Syrian refugees, in 2016.
Fifteen founding corporations have teamed up with the Obama administration on the effort.
These are: Accenture, Airbnb, Chobani, Coursera, Goldman Sachs, Google, HP, IBM, JPMorgan Chase & Co., LinkedIn, Microsoft, Mastercard, UPS, TripAdvisor, and Western Union.
Image result for All about MONEY...The three main facets of this private partnership program are: “education,” “employment,” and “enablement.”
...Through those two parts of the initiative refugees can be settled in the United States without limit as they wouldn’t fall under the purview of the government cap on refugee resettlement.
Through work and education visas refugees would not actually be considered as refugees for their immigration status.
...“These refugees will be coming outside the refugee resettlement program so they would not be counted under the government cap of 10,000.
These ‘alternative legal pathways or sponsorships’ will be under employment visas, training, student visas and scholarships, visiting scholars etc,” Nayla Rush, senior researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Caller.
Rush added, “remember, the aim is to bring as many Syrian refugees as possible. 10,000 is the limit this [Fiscal Year] under the refugee resettlement program.
No limit to these ‘private sponsorships’, more importantly, to traceability.”
At a United Nations summit on September 20, Obama is going to push for “double the number of resettlement slots and alternative legal pathways for admission that are available to refugees, and increase the number of countries accepting significant numbers of refugees.” 

New Report: Evidence for Pre-K is Sketchy at Best

New Report: Evidence for Pre-K is Sketchy at Best | Intellectual Takeout:
"A couple months ago, the Brookings Institution came out with a paper questioning the evidence on pre-K’s effectiveness.
As author Dale Farran noted:
“The proposition that expanding pre-K will improve later achievement for children from low-income families is premature. 
Premature as well is the presumption that solid research exists to guide the content and structure of pre-K programs.”
Farran’s observations were recently underscored by another report from the American Enterprise Institute.
 In the report, authors Katharine Stevens and Elizabeth English take a look at the ten most commonly cited studies in the world of early childhood research. 
Image result for good parentsThe authors discover that while some early childhood programs do show positive results, those results are often for programs far different from the universal pre-K programs policy-makers are touting as a silver bullet.
Stevens and English also note that there is little evidence that short-term gains exhibited by some pre-K students – such as kindergarten success –translate into long-term gains.
But while there’s much to be desired in the area of preschool research, the authors note that there is one element which research consistently shows makes a difference in the lives of young children. That element is a novel thing known as… parents:
“The leading science and strongest research to date indicate that the clearest avenue to help disadvantaged children is not to send them to school a year earlier but to improve child care and support parents in better fulfilling their role as their children’s first teachers. Our current knowledge is insufficient to justify a large expansion of pre-K as the best path forward. And the growing pre-K push may well do more harm than good by diverting attention and scarce resources from other more effective approaches.”
Until we have more reliable evidence on the benefits of pre-K education, do we need to reconsider the rush to pull children out of their homes, away from their parents, and into the institutional environment of the education system?

Stunning: Obama and Comey Clinton Email Comments Sound Eerily Similar

Stunning: Obama and Comey Clinton Email Comments Sound Eerily Similar | PJ Media:
Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh argued that the fix was always in to protect Hillary on EmailGate and presented a video montage comparing comments made by President Barack Obama in April regarding the investigation to the statement made by FBI Director James Comey during his press conference on Tuesday.
So back on April 10th, Obama appears on Fox News Sunday. That doesn't happen very much. He was on with Chris Wallace, and he just happened to use -- as we've gone back and looked here -- exactly the same words that James Comey ended up using yesterday.  There's an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal pointing this out on April the 11th by Cleta Mitchell: "President Obama chooses his words carefully, so it was startling on Sunday when he chose to opine on the Justice Department's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server. All the more so in the way that he phrased his defense of the Democrat he wants to succeed him as President in January."
As you'll see, their rhetoric and phrasing are stunningly similar.
OBAMA: Hillary Clinton was an outstanding secretary of state. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.
COMEY: We did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws.
OBAMA: And she's acknowledged that there's uh, a carelessness in terms of managing emails.
COMEY: There is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.
OBAMA: I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations. I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations.
COMEY: I have not coordinated this statement or reviewed it in any way with the Department of Justice or any other part of the government.
OBAMA: I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI.
COMEY: What I can assure the American people: Only facts matter, and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way.
Next page: Watch the video montage of Obama and Comey and see why Rush thinks the fix is in. 
Rush is arguing that Obama's April and October comments on the email investigation, coupled with the Lynch/Bubba tarmac summit, may have influenced Comey.
So here's the president, very powerful, intimidating guy, Comey works for him, the president's been out there saying he didn't think Hillary did anything wrong. And Lynch meets with Bill Clinton. I mean, the message was sent to Comey in every possible way.  Make no mistake that that's what this is all about. Make no mistake, Clinton getting on the plane with Loretta Lynch, all that's meant to send a signal to Comey..."

Comey: Hillary Clinton Gave Classified Info to Un-Cleared Lawyers

Comey: Hillary Clinton Gave Classified Info to Un-Cleared Lawyers
FBI director James Comey admitted to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had given classified information to her personal lawyers, among others, who lacked security clearance.
Comey was being questioned, late in the fifth hour of the hearing, by committee chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), after the FBI director had been pressed repeatedly about his claim that there was insufficient evidence of “intent” to prosecute Clinton.
Chaffetz zeroed in on the question of whether people without security clearance had access to her e-mails, which included not only her attorneys, but also the administrators of her private e-mail servers.
Image result for hillary lies
Chaffetz: Yes or no: were there, or were there not, classified emails that Hillary Clinton’s attorneys read?
Comey: I don’t know whether they read them at the time.
Chaffetz: Did Hillary Clinton give non-cleared people access to classified information?
Comey: Yes. Yes.
Chaffetz: What do you think her intent was?
Comey: I think then it was to get good legal representation and to make the production to the State Department. I think it would be a very tall order in that circumstance — I don’t see the evidence there to make a case that she was acting with criminal intent in her engagement with her lawyers.
Chaffetz: And I just — I guess I read, in criminal intent, as the idea that you allow somebody without a security clearance access to classified information. Everybody knows that, director. Everybody knows that.
Shortly beforehand, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) continued his attack on Comey’s use of “intent” as a legal standard, which Comey admitted was not in the federal statute, but was based on the past practice of the FBI and Department of Justice.
“You are reading a specific intent element into a gross negligence statute,” Gowdy said.

It's all happened before 12/13/1995-----REV. AL'S CAUGHT ON PROTEST TAPE CALLED MART OWNER A 'WHITE INTERLOPER'

When the president splashes racial gasoline in all our cities ya gotta expect a big fire gonna happen. BLM and its chief spokes "man". 
He just needed someone to light the match.
A despicable person.
REV. AL'S CAUGHT ON PROTEST TAPE CALLED MART OWNER A 'WHITE INTERLOPER' - NY Daily News:
The Rev. Al Sharpton apparently referred to the Jewish owner of Freddy's Fashion M art as a "white interloper" in a rally three months before the Harlem massacre, newly revealed tapes show.
Speaking at a separate rally, Morris Powell, who later led the protest against the W. 125th St. store, specifically mentioned Freddy's, saying he would not let a "Jewish person" drive black businesses out of Harlem and vowed, "We are going to make that white cracker suffer.
Image result for al sharpton obama" The tapes, recorded off radio station WWRL by the Jewish Action Alliance, were at odds with statements made by the men in the wake of Friday's massacre, in which seven innocent victims and the gunman-arsonist died.
Sharpton, who also was video-taped meeting with protesters Dec. 2, has said he was a mediator in the dispute over a black church's plans to evict the black-owned Record Shack so Freddy's could expand. He also has said he was unaware of any racial or anti-Semitic statements made in the dispute, which he has characterized simply as an argument over a lease.
Powell has denied claims by clothing store owner Fred Harari and a black Freddy's employe killed in the massacre that he and other protesters made anti-Semitic remarks and threats in front of the clothing store.
Yet in a tape of a broadcast from a Sept. 9 rally, Sharpton said, "I want to make it clear to the radio and audience and to you here that we will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business on 125th St.
" Sharpton does not name Freddy's but mentions the lease dispute and calls his audience's attention to "brother Sikhulu," referring to the Record Shack owner, Sikhulu Shange.
In a tape recorded at an Aug. 19 rally, Powell said, "We are not going to stand idly by and let a Jewish person come in black Harlem and methodically drive black people out of business up and down 125th St. If we stand for that, we will stand for anything.
" In a tape of a Sept. 23 broadcast rally, both men specifically call for a boycott and protest of Freddy's, according to the tapes.
..."According to affidavits filed by Harari and other store employes, the tragedy followed increasingly strident protests and death threats.
..." Yesterday, the Record Shack's Shange denied threatening Harari and denied acting jubilant moments after Smith began his deadly rampage.
Freddy's manager Harry Latchana told police and the Daily News that on Dec. 7, the day before the massacre, Shange said, "Freddy's dead, and tomorrow I'm going to put a casket in front of the bus stop.
" Another employe, Steve Brodski, said in an affidavit that on Dec. 2 Shange and Powell called the church an "Uncle Tom, and they will burn with Freddy's.
' " "There is a systemic and methodical strategy to eliminate our people from doing business on 125th St.
It started with the vendors . . . Now they are going to the actual merchants . . . We are asking the black community to go down there and do what is necessary to let them know that we are not going to stand by and let them turn 125th St. over to outsiders . . . We should not under any circumstances sit by and allow this to happen without a major reaction and major protest from us . . . It is clear that there is the intention of the Giuliani administration to change the color of New York.
" -- The Rev. Al Sharpton
