Follow the money and the crooks to Detroit!-----E-mails, records show maneuvering in demolition deals

E-mails, records show maneuvering in demolition deals
"One month before the Detroit Land Bank Authority released an audit detailing an improper billing scheme involving some demolition contractors, Timothy Drakeford signed an affidavit saying he was directed by Aradondo Haskins, a former Detroit Building Authority employee, to adjust his demolition prices.
The Free Press obtained the affidavit and related e-mails Tuesday  through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The records shed new light on aspects of the city’s demolition program, which is under federal investigation, and its apparent bidding practices.
...The Land Bank audit, released last week,  is the latest complication for Detroit’s troubled blight demolition program, which is under a federal criminal investigation.
Questions about Mayor Mike Duggan’s demolition program began swirling a year ago after it was revealed costs had risen more than 60%.
...More than $250 million from the federal Hardest Hit Fund has been allocated to Detroit for its demolition program.
The money has helped the city tear down more than 10,000 blighted properties since Duggan took office in 2014.
In addition to the federal probe of the program, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority is conducting its own investigation.
...The U.S. Treasury Department suspended the city demolition program between August and October of this year after discovering problems with how federal money was spent in Detroit..."

Time bomb-----The Facts about Student Debt

The Facts about Student Debt
Who Owns All This Student Debt?

Most student debt is owed to the federal government. The federal government offers student loans with fixed interest rates and flexible repayment plans. As of March 2016, more than 92% of all student debt was owed to the federal government. Perhaps surprisingly, only 8% was owed to private financial institutions.

Attorney General is SUED to come clean on secret meeting with Bill Clinton | Daily Mail Online:

"Attorney General Loretta Lynch is facing a federal lawsuit to give details of a meeting she had with Bill Clinton days before she was to decide on his wife's fate.

The meeting in June was barely a week before the Justice Department which she heads dropped its probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server."

American hero!-----Linda Tripp: The Colossal Clinton Con

Linda Tripp: The Colossal Clinton Con:
"She’s finally done it.
The country faces a possible constitutional crisis should Hillary win the election.
With a federal criminal investigation of the possible president-elect underway, President Obama might well issue a preemptive presidential pardon on his way out the door. Imagine that.
Pardoned before inaugurated.
Or she will find a way to pardon herself for “the good of the country.”
It will simply never end.
If the past portends the future, we should ponder that which came before. 
The tale of four partners of the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas is a good place to start.
They came to Washington, DC with Bill Clinton in 1993.
You couldn’t turn a corner in the West Wing without bumping into one or all of them.

• Webster Hubbell became Associate Attorney General of the United States. He ended up in a federal pen. 
• Vince Foster became Deputy Counsel to the President and he was found dead by gunshot in Fort Marcy Park. 
• Bill Kennedy became an Associate White House Counsel and was neck deep in Filegate and Travelgate. He also oversaw the ubiquitous Craig Livingstone, the former bar bouncer personally chosen by the First Lady to head the Office of White House Security. 
• Together, Bill Kennedy and Craig Livingstone were the ones to officially identify the body of Vince Foster. 

I knew them all.
Of the four partners, only one is left standing. 
She is currently running for president of the United States.
I am struck by the “none so blind as those who will not see” syndrome..."

Pomona event teaches social justice buzzwords to dupe conservatives
A committee in Pomona College’s Asian American Resource Center organized an event to “break down activist language” and explain social justice terms.
According to its description, the AARC “works in collaboration with other ethnic groups, academic departments, and campus offices to sponsor a wide range of educational endeavors.”
Among the terms and phrases discussed were intersectionality, identity politics, structural oppression, safe spaces, “cisheteropatriarchy,” toxic masculinity, white supremacy, and privilege.
A committee in Pomona College’s Asian American Resource Center organized an event to “break down activist language” and explain social justice terms.
...“Sometimes it’s impossible to figure out what students at the Claremont Colleges are talking about, even when we’re talking about things that everyone needs to understand.
Join the AARC’s REACH committee to discuss how we can break down activist language,” states the event description.
...According to its website, the Catalyst Project believes “that racism is one of the fundamental forces keeping systemic injustice in place, and as white people we believe we have a strategic role to play in ending it.”
The author of D.A.T.T., in a description of his ideology, states that he is “interested in the complete liberation of all peoples from white patriarchy, capitalism, oligarchy, colonialism, settlement, as well as orientalism.”
Examples of definitions included “a system of power based on the supremacy & dominance of cisheterosexual men through the exploitation & oppression of women and the LGBTQIA”—drawn from D.A.T.T—for “cisheteropatriarchy.”
“Privilege” was defined as operating “on personal, interpersonal, cultural, and institutional levels and gives advantages, favors, and benefits to members of dominant groups at the expense of members of target groups”—based off a document from Harvey Mudd College’s Office of Institutional Diversity..."

Fraternities claw back their Fourth Amendment rights in new Indiana University agreement

Fraternities claw back their Fourth Amendment rights in new Indiana University agreement - The College Fix
"Indiana University-Bloomington Greek organizations have beaten back an administration proposal to search their homes without a warrant – but not without exposing a generational divide between Greeks.
They got “95 percent of what they wanted” in a new housing contract, including explicit recognition of their Fourth Amendment rights, a recently graduated fraternity leader told The College Fix in a phone interview.
Fraternities had to overcome opposition from within their own alumni ranks, with older members using the adage “If you have nothing to hide, there’s nothing to worry about,” said Matt Shute, who led the fight as president of IUB’s Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter last year.
Redlined versions of IUB’s new agreements with “housed Greek organizations” and their house corporations show that the administration must meet stricter requirements to enter and inspect Greek houses than originally proposed.
In a complete reversal, the school is not allowed to conduct “environmental health inspections” unless specifically requested by an organization or its house corporation – and IUB will pay for it..."

Hillary’s Hubris, Weiner’s Porn and Comey’s Conscience

Hillary’s Hubris, Weiner’s Porn and Comey’s Conscience | Observer
"FBI Director James Comey’s decision to resume the Bureau’s never-quite-closed investigation of Hillary Clinton’s criminal mishandling of classified information hasn’t sent her to prison—yet—but it has crippled her campaign.
Hillary’s lashing and thrashing counter-attacks on Comey and the FBI confirm the deep damage.
Her responses are convulsions, not actions.
In the debates Hillary tried to sell herself as cool and collected.
Comey’s one-eighty shattered her mask of composure.
Her panic is the tortured panic of a guilty soul.
What will happen next in this most curious election?
If you haven’t asked that question then the coroner needs to check your pulse.
To paraphrase Scott Adams, the odds of something unexpected not happening in this election is exactly zero.
In a crack suspense novel or movie thriller, the fictional events, no matter how outrageous, display a “semblance of truth” and link with “just enough” plausible causality the audience suspends disbelief for the sake of entertainment.
Thrillers in all genres usually have a clock of some sort.
...Team Hillary certainly plotted the 2016 election, and plotted it down to commas and periods.
For example, Hillary made the final ruling on having a troll Donald Duck haunt Trump rallies.
Though her decision appears to be a complete violation of federal election laws, it certainly rates as detailed plotting.
According to Clinton operative Nerra  Tanden, (as quoted in a hacked Wikileaks email) Hillary set up her illegal server system because she thought she could evade Freedom of Information Act laws and manage to get away with it.
“Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy,” Tanden asked.
“Unbelievable,” Podesta replied.
“I guess I know the answer,” Tanden replied. “They wanted to get away with it.”...

How My Husband Ended Up in Jail After Walking Our Dog

How My Husband Ended Up in Jail After Walking Our Dog
"...In 2007, my British husband got a ticket for walking our dog Henry without a leash in Washington, D.C. The National Park Service made it impossible to pay the ticket.
So, a newly minted citizen, Peter said he’d wait for his day in court.
I told him that was most unwise and that he could end up in jail.
I was right.
Overcriminalization is a serious issue in our country, and while Peter’s experience was trivial, it describes a terrible (yet hilarious) day.
Here’s an excerpt from my new book, “Let Me Tell You About Jasper.”
This story is written by Peter, explaining how he ended up in jail while I was working at the White House. 
When he was given his “one phone call” from jail, I was in the Oval Office briefing the president. True story.
With that, I give you: my husband, the off-leash criminal..."

Spinach Can Now Be Used to Detect Explosives

Spinach Can Now Be Used to Detect Explosives:
"Scientists at MIT have successfully bioengineered spinach to wilt if explosive material is detected in groundwater, according to a paper put out in the prestigious Journal of Nature Materials.
The research paper is titled “Nitroaromatic detection and infrared communication from wild-type plants using plant nanobionics.”
“Here, we demonstrate that living spinach plants (Spinacia oleracea) can be engineered to serve as self-powered pre-concentrators and autosamplers of analytes in ambient groundwater and as infrared communication platforms that can send information to a smartphone,” the paper’s authors said their introduction.
As the plant absorbs water from the ground it will also absorb the explosive material.
Thanks to deliberately created adaptations in the plant’s leaves, the plant will wilt in response to the presence of the explosive compounds.
Fixed sensors nearby will monitor the spinach using infrared technology and will pick up on the change in the plant.
The project was funded by DARPA, the body of the U.S. military in charge of research and development.
It has an annual budget of nearly $3 billion and funds a vast array of different technologies that either have or could potentially have military application..."

We can no longer write off an electoral college tie

We can no longer write off an electoral college tie | The Liberty Conservative:
"It’s not likely.
We’ve been told our whole lives it’s not possible.
But here we are, a week from the general election, and we are the closest we have been in our lifetimes to a Twelfth Amendment crisis.
...Meanwhile, there’s a storm of unexpected proportions sweeping one of this country’s largest, best organized, and best funded religious minorities.
Independent candidate Evan McMullin is defying all expectations by blowing decades-old third parties out of the water in his sudden surge to the top of the polls in Utah.
...If Utah’s 6 electoral votes go to Evan McMullin, either by McMullin electors winning the popular vote outright, or Republican electors bolting the Party to vote for him, those 6 contribute to neither Trump nor Hillary.
Contrary to popular assumption, the spoiler effect does not apply at the Electoral College level, because, unlike the popular vote within a given state, the Electoral College requires a majority, not a plurality.
Therefore, if 6 votes go to McMullin in Utah, those votes will not count toward either major party nominee achieving the 270 vote majority.
...With those states, Clinton comes just two electoral votes short of winning, which tosses the election to the House of Representatives.
The question then becomes who will the Republican-led House of Representatives choose from among the top three candidates?
This question is further complicated by the Article II rule that the House of Representatives must vote “by state.”
A quick perusal of the 50 states shows a strong majority with Republican-majority delegations. 
At first glance this leans toward a Trump election.
But would Paul Ryan, longtime critic of Trump, enforce the once intimidating but lately faltering power of the Speakership to force Republican members to support the nominee?
Maybe.
But that’s a big maybe..."

Little Ice Age Has Begun, Will Bring 'Deep Cooling'

Astrophysicist: Little Ice Age Has Begun, Will Bring 'Deep Cooling'

Until radical-with-an-agenda climate change scientists entered the arena, scientists routinely believed that activity of the sun was the key determinant to earth’s weather. Unfortunately, these extremist climate alarmists shamed, belittled, and shouted down, traditional scientists. ⁃ TN Editor

A new study by a prominent Russian astrophysicist claims the “new Little Ice Age” started at the end of 2015 due to low solar activity, kicking off decades of “deep cooling” in the latter half of the 21st Century.

“As a result, the Earth has, and will continue to have, a negative average annual energy balance and a long-term adverse thermal condition,” Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov, who is the head of space research for the Pulkovo Observatory at the Russian Academy of Sciences, wrote in a recent study.

“The quasi-centennial epoch of the new Little Ice Age has started at the end 2015 after the maximum phase of solar cycle 24,” Abdussamatov wrote.
“The start of a solar grand minimum is anticipated in solar cycle 27 in 2043 and the beginning of phase of deep cooling in the new Little Ice Age in 2060...”

A year and a half ago I bumped into Democrat pollster and longtime Clinton aide Doug Schoen in the green room in London just ahead of our respective Fox News appearances. 

...Leaving the studio, I ran into Doug emerging from makeup and he upbraided me for my hostility to Hillary - which I felt bad about, because I've always gotten on well with him, and we have a shared interest in demography and whatnot. 
Twenty months later, Doug has caught up to my view:

Schoen: I'm a Democrat, and I worked for Bill Clinton, but I can't vote for Hillary

Key quote:

Russian President Vladimir Putin said (tongue-in-cheek) that we are not a banana republic.‎ I greatly fear we could become one if Secretary Clinton is elected president.

Which was my point way back in March last year.

Victor Davis Hanson tries to put together the FBI investigation, Wikileaks and all the rest and figure out what's driving Bill and Hillary:

For the Clintons, power is the narcotic of being sought out, of being surrounded by retainers, of bringing enemies to heel and enticing sycophants with benefits. Liberalism and progressivism are mere social and cultural furniture, the "correct" politics of their background that one mouths and exploits to obtain and maintain political clout — and to get really, really rich without guilt or apology.

Unlike Obama, Hillary is not a committed ideologue: 
There is no policy end she desires, there is only an urge to power, with policy and platforms as a discreet veiling of that urge..."

Fraud

By Tammy Derouin

This past week brought another round of information that would have sunk any other individual in the American political system.  In this progressive, Left leaning world we have created, anyone with a D behind their name seems to be immune to rules and laws. 

There is hope that truth and justice will finally be served now that the FBI has reopened the Clinton email scandal. Will this finally bring down Hillary Clinton?  We know she is corrupt.  The evidence has been mounting for decades.  Will this be the one which finally slaps the cuffs on her?  But, does justice even exist anymore?  Our system of justice has been corrupted and perverted just like every other branch and department in our government.

For far too many years we have watched our government ignore procedures and laws.  We have also witnessed the employment of ruthless tactics against those who dare to oppose their agenda.  The scales of justice have been heavily manipulated; calibrated to favor the liberal, progressive, Democratic Party. 

To add fuel to the fire, more examples of voter fraud are being revealed as well.......
