The U.S. Senate has passed a bill boosting oversight of companies based in China and other nations that could lead to their removal from American stock exchanges.
The vote on the measure, introduced more than a year ago by Sens. John Kennedy, R-La., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., comes as Congress and the Trump administration seek ways to punish Beijing for its initial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
First identified in the Chinese province of Wuhan, the disease has infected 4.9 million people and killed more than 324,000. Efforts to curb its spread have halted global growth and sent unemployment in the U.S. spiking to nearly 15 percent, the highest since the Great Depression.

NEVER trust government to protect...ANYTHING!-----'Hundreds of millions’ in bogus jobless benefits paid out

'Hundreds of millions’ in bogus jobless benefits paid out
"OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Impostors have used the stolen information of tens of thousands of people in Washington to fraudulently receive hundreds of millions of dollars in unemployment benefits, the head of the state’s Employment Security Department said Thursday.
...a U.S. Secret Service alert issued last week identified Washington as the top target so far of a Nigerian fraud ring seeking to commit large-scale fraud against state unemployment insurance programs...

It gets scarier!-----The Obamagate Scandal Just Got Even Dirtier

The Obamagate Scandal Just Got Even Dirtier
"British spy Christopher Steele was offered money by Obama’s FBI to dig up dirt on Michael Flynn. 
The proposal came in the weeks before the 2016 election. 
Image result for obama coupThis offer hasn’t received any press until now and was first reported by The Daily Caller. “The inspector general’s report, released on Dec. 9, 2019, said that FBI agents offered to pay Steele ‘significantly’ to collect intelligence from three separate ‘buckets’ that the bureau was pursuing as part of Crossfire Hurricane, its counterintelligence probe of four Trump campaign associates.”
...The Obama administration never had any empirical evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to testimony from top Obama officials.
The revelation adds a new layer of intrigue to the Obamagate scandal. 
...Prior to this revelation, it was not known that Steele had investigated Mike Flynn.
...Steele’s dossier on Donald Trump was filled with mostly bizarre, unsubstantiated claims, but was ultimately used by the Obama administration to justify a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign...

How they "think"-----Trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You.

Trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You. (from 7/15/2019)
"The president is a racist, in his words and his actions. 
Before you go clutching your pearls and extolling the virtues of “civility,” let me say this: put a sock in it. 
This is not a new revelation, nor is it something that we can continue to ignore as though it were coming from a drunk uncle at the family barbeque. 
Image result for oprah everyone racistBigotry is dangerous and, in the hands of our nation’s commander-in-chief, it can mean an inability to recognize individual humanity and a failure to act with moral authority in times of crisis. 
...His “Make America Great Again” campaign was always about catering to our lowest common denominator-- a hateful sector of the electorate that believes themselves culturally superior by skin color and religion.
...Trump is not a fine person.  
His words Sunday were not racially “charged,” “fueled,” or “tinged.” 
They were unapologetically racist. 
And, if you support him, so are you. "

"We'd be fools to think this group just started their political spying when Donald Trump came into the picture.
How long has this been going on?

"I think there's a major fallacy in focusing on the 2016 election without understanding the bigger part of the picture: *why* bad actors in intel community were so desperate to not have Trump elected. 
It's about what could be discovered about the past 10-20 years. 
Not just 2016. "

3 Weeks Before Dam Break, Mich. AG Sued to RAISE Lake Level to Save Mussels

  • Our propagandist media reconfirming their roles as Goebbels' disciples.
  • Not one word on morning TV or radio today, when the story would normally be "hot".
  • Imagine if the gov. was republican..
3 Weeks Before Dam Break, Mich. AG Sued to RAISE Lake Level to Save Mussels
"In her ongoing audition to be Joe Biden’s veep pick, Michigan Governess Gretchen Whitmer all but convicted a private dam owner for the disastrous floods that struck the middle of the state last Wednesday.
However, it wasn’t the dam company that was trying to save a few clams—it was Whitmer’s radical attorney general, Dana Nessel.
Nessel was suing the dam company to raise the lake level three feet in order to save mussels—both endangered and common—and in their response, the dam company cited safety as a reason for not doing so...
For decades, federal regulators demanded changes to the design of the Edenville Dam to make it more likely to withstand heavy rains and avoid flooding.
So when Michigan regulators assumed oversight of the dam in late 2018 after its owners lost their federal license to generate energy, they took action.
To protect mussels...The dam’s owner, Boyce Hydro Power LLC, claims Michigan pressured it to raise lake levels before the flood and the company took steps to lower them because “mis-operation could pose a significant risk to the Village of Sanford, Northwood University, the City of Midland, and other downstream areas,” according to a lawsuit last month...
See the source imageThis is not the first time that Attorney General Dana Nessel’s priorities—and propriety—have come into question.  
At the height of Michigan’s COVID-19 lockdown, she treated the state to this insightful tweet:
Am I the only one who regrets not totally liquidating my 401K and investing the whole thing into the business that manufactures Real Dolls?

Maybe Dana just needs to learn when to clam up."

You know they'll NEVER be satisfied!


He gets to decide?
