[WND] WASHINGTON ‐ The inquiry into whether the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign and transition team has a new surprise suspect: former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power.
The House Intelligence Committee announced Wednesday it was submitting subpoenas as part of its ongoing investigation into any Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election campaign, and sources gave more details to the Wall Street Journal.
Buried inside the paper’s account was a potentially bombshell development: The committee is seeking information from the FBI, CIA and NSA on unmasking requests made by Power. Power was likely a cutout. Like fellow Obama political appointee Susan Rice, she performed a function for the Shadow Gov't. The data went elsewhere.
Unmasking is the revealing of names within the intelligence community of U.S. citizens gathered in foreign surveillance.
The new subpoena immediately raises the question: Why would Power be seeking such information?
Why would a diplomat care about Trump officials?
It would hardly seem to have any obvious relevance to her job as U.N. ambassador.
She was, however, a close confidant of President Obama, and she served him as a foreign-policy adviser when he was a senator.
And members of the intelligence committee have previously shown concern about Obama officials unmasking Trump associates.
Sources told Fox News that Power’s role is now under increasing scrutiny by the intelligence committee.

Hillary, Obama and the Donks opened this can of worms with the Russia-Trump phony collusion scandal; now it looks like it may begin to blow back on them. Let's get into the real scandal, the one with John Podesta, Hillary, WJC and the Clinton Foundation in the pay-for-play scandal; and the one where Hillary as SOS arranged for the sale of 20% of our uranium to Russia. While at it, how about the missing $2B in Haiti relief funds too?
[AMERICANTHINKER] Civil liberties advocates who challenged Ohio's policy said it illegally erased voters from registration rolls and unlawfully disenfranchised minorities and poor people who tend to back Democratic candidates. The justices will review a U.S. appeals court ruling that Ohio's policy ran afoul of a 1993 law called the National Voter Registration Act, which Congress passed to make it easier for Americans to register to vote.
A Rooters analysis last year found that in Ohio's three largest counties, which include Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... , Cincinnati and Columbus, voters were struck from the rolls in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods at roughly twice the rate as in Republican neighborhoods under the policy.
Could it be that in Democratic neighbourhoods there are more imaginary voters, multiply-registered voters, and no longer resident because moved or dead voters?
Ohio officials argued that canceling registrations for voters deemed inactive for six years helped keep voting rolls current and accurate, clearing out those who have moved away or died. In September 2016, ahead of the U.S. presidential election, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled that the policy was unlawful.
Democrats have accused Republicans of taking steps at the state level, including laws imposing new requirements on voters such as presenting certain types of government-issued identification, intended to suppress the vote of minorities, the poor and others who generally favor Democratic candidates.

Just purge all voter rolls every four year. Therefor, no race or class is involved. Problem solved.
#4
With you Proc. Purge the rolls and require any voter registrations to come in in person with photo ID and proof of citizenship. The only exception are those who are physically unable to come in - and for them a agent goes out to their home - ID and proof still required.
If they are too lazy or stupid to come in then they probably should not be allowed to vote anyway - since they obviously are too lazy/stupid to research the issues.
Oh and you forfit your right to vote if you are on unearned government assistance (that is welfare, etc..). No - you cannot simply vote yourself more money.
[WSJ] The House Intelligence Committee issued seven subpoenas on Wednesday, in a sign that its investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election is ramping up in scope and intensity, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Republican-led committee issued four subpoenas related to the Russia investigation. Three subpoenas are related to questions about how and why the names of associates of President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... were unredacted and distributed within classified reports by B.O. regime officials during the transition between administrations.
The committee has subpoenaed the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency for information about what is called "unmasking." Republicans on the committee have been pushing for a thorough investigation of how the names of Trump campaign officials became exposed in classified intelligence reports based off intelligence community intercepts.
Those subpoenas seek information on requests made by former national security adviser Susan Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan and former United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Ambassador Samantha Power for names to be unmasked in classified material.
Ms. Power hasn’t previously been reported as a potential witness in the probe and her inclusion in the subpoenas means that Republicans are also broadening their areas of investigation. Mr. Brennan, Ms. Rice and Ms. Power didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

former United Nations Ambassador Willem Dafoe Samantha Power
[JUDICIALWATCH.ORG] The senior Obama Education Department official who resigned this month to avoid testifying before Congress got hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses despite his well-documented failures, sources inside the agency tell Judicial Watch. The extra cash was kept off the books, away from the public, and doesn’t appear on his official government salary record but Judicial Watch has obtained the figures with yearly breakdowns. The official, James Runcie, ran the scandal-plagued Federal Student Aid (FSA) office, the government’s $1.4 trillion financial aid program. It includes, among other things, administering more than $150 billion in loans, grants and work-study funds to help students pay for college.
Under Runcie’s leadership there was pervasive fraud and corruption at the FSA, government sources tell Judicial Watch, including skirting federal rules to hire friends and family and hefty off-the-books cash bonuses despite the FSA’s documented transgressions. Just last week the Education Department Inspector General told Congress that the FSA made an astounding $6 billion in improper payments in 2016 alone as part of federal student aid programs. The figure includes $2.21 billion in improper Pell Grant payments and $3.86 billion as part of the Direct Loan program. These are disbursements that either shouldn’t have been made, went to the wrong recipient, were for an incorrect amount or were not properly documented. Each year the problem gets worse, according to Kathleen Tighe, Inspector General for the Education Department. Improper payments for the Federal Direct Loan program swelled from $1.28 billion in 2015 to $3.86 billion in 2016 and from $562 million to $2.21 billion for the federal Pell Grant program, all under Runcie’s leadership.

Education Official Got Secret Cash Bonuses asbecause Office Lost Billions to Fraud, Corruption

In the Civil Service racket, bonuses are expected. It is treated as an entitlement. They are not motivational. While the civies maybe surprised by crappy job performance being 'rewarded', it is standard operating procedure in the government. Another reason to do away with the Civil Service Act.
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] Late Tuesday morning, leaked images of washed up comedian and CNN News Year’s Eve co-host Kathy Griffin holding a bloody mockup of President Trump’s head aloft went viral. It took CNN hours before any host on the channel dared to bring her up. Following a warning for graphic content, Jake Tapper, host of The Lead, displayed an image. The members of Tapper’s panel were unfazed by the display, with Molly Ball of The Atlantic claiming that the Trump family’s outrage was just them playing the victim card. Molly who? Her fifteen minutes of name recognition have been up for five minutes, haven't they? “I want to warn you out there, especially if you have kids, you might find what we're about to show you a little bit graphic. It’s not an actual photograph but let me show you right now,” Tapper warned the audience. “It’s a depiction of comedian Kathy Griffin who does work for CNN on New Year’s Eve. She’s pictured in this new photo shoot holding a bloody Donald Trump head.”
Tapper added that “It's pretty disgusting, and I can't imagine how anybody would think that's appropriate. Donald Trump Jr. is out there saying this is now considered to be acceptable discourse by the left.”
But Molly Ball didn’t have a problem with it and argued the Trump family was just trying to play themselves up as victims. “Who is saying it's even discourse? I have a hard time bringing myself to care about something like this. I think it just speaks to the need to see themselves as a victim that they have, that they are constantly being persecuted,” she told Tapper. “The Trump people are constantly having to point to the elites who are looking down on them,”
“Of course, comedians and celebrities say dumb stuff and do dumb stuff and violence is not appropriate, but I just don't think that that's the source of President Trump's problems,” she said, trying to brush off the incident as nothing. Ball’s fellow panelists, Obama administration lackey Jen Psaki and former Trump campaign strategist David Urban dismissed it as unimportant as well.
To make Ball’s position even more ridiculous, radical leftist Keith Olbermann actually denounced Griffin’s stunt on Twitter between calls for Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner to be arrested. “Nope. Too much. By a very long distance, way too much,” he said in a reply to Griffin’s own tweet.

From the write up: I think it just speaks to the need to see themselves as a victim that they have, that they are constantly being persecuted,” she told Tapper. Trump never has been and never will be a "victim". Just because the media does, in fact, persecute him, he fights it off or ignores it and just keeps on "winning"!

Late night, coming home after church,
A ruckus I heard from the porch.
Inside, an odd sight:
A dead cockroach, alight.
Seems her friends disapproved of her torch.
[THEFEDERALIST] The science-deniers are running the LGBTQ show over at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and dissenters will not be tolerated.
The department’s new "enhanced" policies promoting the "well-being of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) children and youth in the Department’s care" ratchet in one direction only: encouraging children towards LGBTQ identities. DCFS has drawn a rainbow-colored line in the sand, announcing it "will not tolerate exposing LGBTQ children and youth to staff/providers who are not supportive of children and youths’ right to self-determination of sexual/gender identity."
Let’s repeat that: the state of Illinois will not tolerate "exposing" the vulnerable children in its care to people who believe human beings are either male or female and cannot "become" the other. No matter that sexual difference is a scientific fact, or that billions of sane people across the world acknowledge it.
Illinois has decreed its own "truth" about the human person and served notice that it will muzzle the speech and religious beliefs of employees, caregivers, professionals, and cooperating agencies who think otherwise.

Those that continually yammer on about transgender bullshit are not merely "misguided", they are *evil*.
Yes, its tragic that a handful (less than 1 percent of our population) may have misgivings about the genetical hand they were dealt at birth. But that's no justification at all to HAMMER this "gender is whatever you say it is" agenda into minds too young to know better (and into adults too poorly educated to sift thru the bullshit they're being handed).
[VARIETY] CNN has fired Kathy Griffin from their annual New Year’s Eve program, which she cohosted with anchor Anderson Cooper.
The network made the announcement via Twitter Wednesday morning.
"CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year’s Eve program," the CNN Public Relations account tweeted.
The termination comes one day after the comedienne posted a photo and video of her holding a fake severed head of President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... . She later apologized for the photo and video, saying it went too far, and removed it from her Twitter account. She had made it as part of a photo shoot with Tyler Shields, but they did not disclose what the project was.
Trump tweeted about the photo early on Wednesday, writing that Griffin "should be ashamed of herself."
"My children, especially my 11-year-old son Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!"
CNN issued a statement on Tuesday night, condemning Griffin’s video and saying that they were evaluating New Year’s Eve plans.
While that date is far away, the network was under pressure to take action. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted at Jake Tapper.
Anderson Cooper, who has co-hosted the New Year’s Eve telecasts with Griffin for the past decade, said that he was "appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate."
Before she issued her apology, Griffin said that she was in no way condoning violence, but that it was "merely mocking the MOCKER IN CHIEF."
Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) he condemned Griffin’s video, and told CNN, "I think she did the right thing, and asking for forgiveness and acknowledging ... this was a horrible mistake."
But the Republican National Committee has noted that Franken is still scheduled to appear with Griffin at a July 7 event at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Franken said that he still plans to appear with her.
Their condemnations are just more phony virtue signalling. They are not decying her because they really disagree with notions of murdering Trump, or, more to the point, his supporters, they are decrying her because suddenly they find themselves unpopular for holding those views.
Deep down inside, these types really, truly would like to exterminate every last Christian and every last believer in limited government, intact borders, robust free enterprise, and gun ownership.
Griffin's stunt wasn't a one-off or an anecdote. It was a slipping of the mask on what goes on in the minds of virtually 100% of the left, the entertainment and education industries, and the publicly employed in the U.S.

Deep down inside, these types really, truly would like to exterminate every last Christian and every last believer in limited government, intact borders, robust free enterprise, and gun ownership.
And deep down most of us would like to wage war against them for selling out our country. When can our side "let the mask slip" and get this party started?
[PJ] The word "privilege" is starting to cause a visceral reaction in me. Class warfare is alive and well, legalizing theft is an increasingly popular idea, and criminalizing expertise is called "progressive."
The state of Illinois is considering a whopping 20 percent "privilege tax" on financial advice:
The Illinois bill would put a 20% levy on fees earned by investment advisers. It passed the state Senate in a 32-24 vote Tuesday, and backers are hoping to get it through the House before the legislative session ends May 31.
The new tax is pitched as a way to squeeze more revenue -- as much as $1.7 billion a year -- from hedge funds and private-equity firms, which purportedly get off easy on their federal taxes because of the "carried interest loophole." But under the current version of the bill, Illinois would keep collecting the privilege tax even if Congress were to cease taxing carried interest at the lower capital-gains rate.

[The Hill] Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk says he will quit President Trump's business advisory council if the U.S. leaves the Paris climate agreement.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, sits on the President’s Strategic and Policy Council of business executives.
Reports on Wednesday said that Trump is planning to pull the U.S. out of the Paris accords.
Musk tweeted that he has tried to convince Trump to say in the climate pact. And he added that he would have no choice but to quit the president's business advisory group, if Trump went ahead and left.

Let's see how good an entrepreneur he is when the Trump admin takes away the taxpayer paid $7500/electric car subsidy and the 30% solar subsidy. That's not counting state and local subsidies (I'm looking at you California who doesn't have the infrastructure to support mass produced electric cars).
#3
Tesla and Its Subsidies
Less well-known are the hidden subsidies that flow directly to Tesla, thanks to “zero-emission vehicle” (ZEV) credits. ZEV credits are a mandate dreamed up by the bureaucrats at the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which requires manufacturers to build and dealers to sell an arbitrary number of “zero-emission” vehicles each year. (Note that these vehicles are actually “zero-emission” only in the unlikely event that the electricity used by the car comes from a zero-emission source — which, of course, would also be heavily subsidized.)
Tesla’s Model S generates four credits per unit sold. This means the company can sell $20,000 in ZEV credits to other manufacturers for each Model S sold — a cost borne by purchasers of other cars.
And that amount used to be even higher. Because ZEV law is so arcane, Tesla was able to game the system for additional credits; for example, it was able to generate an additional three credits per vehicle when it demonstrated to CARB that its batteries could theoretically be rapidly swapped. But in fact the battery-swapping pilot program is more than a year late getting started. Nonetheless, those extra credits netted the company an additional $15,000 per car sold — and the company is now trying to get them reinstated.
In 2013, ZEV credits to Tesla totaled $129.8 million — to a company that lost $61.3 million for the year on its actual manufacturing and selling operations.
In 2014, Nevada lavished the company with one of the biggest corporate-welfare packages in history: In exchange for building a battery-manufacturing facility near Reno, Tesla will pay no payroll or property taxes for ten years and no sales taxes for 20 years, and will receive $195 million in cash via “transferable tax credits,” which can be sold to other companies to satisfy their Nevada tax bills. All of this amounts to a $1.3 billion giveaway.

Tesla Is Hemorrhaging Money Despite Billions In Gov’t Subsidies
Liberal entrepreneur Elon Musk’s business ventures have benefited from nearly $5 billion in government subsidies in the past few years, but apparently that’s not enough taxpayer support to stop his electric car business from losing $4,000 on every vehicle it sells.

It simply *amazes* me how many grown adults buy into the "settled science" of global warming.
I get it that some PRETEND to buy into it--those people are being handed checks and/or power to do so.
But so many Joe-&-Mary Sixpack types buy into this nonsense as well, and they get NOTHING from such foolishness but higher taxes and higher consumer prices.

Lexcorp CEO threatens to quit... oh, hold on. Elon isn't *nearly* as good of a supervillain as Lex Luthor. One crumby boring machine does not an Injustice Society member make.
[Breitbart] Wednesday in Ranchos Palos Verdes, CA at the annual Code Conference, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said the barrage of "fake news" and hacked emails released during the 2016 presidential campaign had to have been from the Russians and "guided by Americans." You remember, it's the 'Right Wing Conspiracy' thingy.
Clinton said, "I think it’s fair to ask, how did that actually influence the campaign, and how did they know what messages to deliver? Who told them? Who were they coordinating with, and colluding with?"
Clinton continued, "The Russians in my opinion -- and based on intelligence and counterintelligence people I have talked to -- could not have known best how to weaponize that information unless they had been guided...Guided by Americans." Talking to John Brennan I take it? He's certainly an expert on the 'weaponization' of bullshi*.
When asked if she believed the campaign of President Donald Trump could have been involved she said, "Yes, I am leaning Trump. I think it’s pretty hard not to."
The DNC using email via a custom configured MS Exchange email server for proprietary communications is a no brainer very insecure platform. And you knew it. That is why you had your own email server off site thinking your insecure state department related system being off site would be more secure.
If anyone was of great help to rogue elements, it was Hillary Clinton.

As her façade drops, and people see she is no longer a power-to-be, just a bitter, delusional, harpy, and the money stops flowing, and the CGI and Foundational sinecure jobs dry up, the truth will begin to surface about so many things, dark things long ridiculed or unknown, stretching far back and people will see what a disaster they dodged because of those of us who saw what was lurking beneath the spin....
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Former House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner ... the occasionally weepy former leader of House Republicans... walked back comments from last week where he called the Trump presidency's opening months a "complete disaster," and claimed he was talking about the execution of his agenda rather than his policies.
"Let me address this because some people have gotten carried away in their interpretation of what I said. Listen, Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... is my friend. He was my supporter. I play golf with him and frankly I like the president. I voted for him. I want him and frankly I want the country to succeed," Boehner said of his comments last week. "But I've seen some people write -- I think they've gotten a little carried away in their interpretation of what I said."
"I did not say that the president's policies were a disaster. I did not say that the president's agenda was a disaster," he said in an address before the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers Employee Leadership Forum in Colorado Springs. "What I was referring to was the execution of the president's agenda and the president's policies. And frankly I think there have been a number of missteps, unforced errors that the president has made and I think the White House would agree that they've had their share of mistakes as the president learns to be the president."

[RT] A New York politician is leading a campaign to allow women in the US state to treat menstrual cramps with medical marijuana.
Linda Rosenthal, a member of the New York State Assembly, has called for painful periods to be placed alongside epilepsy and multiple sclerosis on a list of conditions whose sufferers are eligible to buy medical marijuana.
"This is a woman’s health issue," said Rosenthal in an interview with Newsweek. "Men have really been [the ones] who’ve run state houses, governorships, presidencies, and some issues that are just about women have gotten shortchanged."

Really, if there was any real medical use for Cannabinoids (of which THC is one), we would already see it available in pill form. Since such pills are not readily available, I conclude that there's no such thing as "medical marijuana",but rather, it's just another excuse to get high.

There are all sorts of edibles, even before legalization - brownies, butter, so forth.
One problem is that they take time to kick in, so people OD. Also, pets and kids getting into them.
I don't know enough about how much the active ingredient can be refined and concentrated. I guess the best parts of really potent strands could just be ground and capsuled.
dunno gorb; I have a hard enough time tracking as it is. Perhaps the week afterwards.
"Men have really been [the ones] who’ve run state houses, governorships, presidencies, and some issues that are just about women have gotten shortchanged."

If the feds will get out of the way with their Schedule 1 BS and the states will get their collective heads out of their arses, you'll see your CBD pills in no time (though medicinal users prefer oils). There are plenty of legit medicinal applications. Oh yeah, and telling me when I can/can't get high is not the government's job (and not an effective deterrent, anyway). Didn't Prohibition teach us anything? /libertarian rant
That's what ISIS and the Taliban believe, too. They just define peaceful study differently.
[CNSNEWS] Here is the minority leader’s full statement:
"The Holy Month of Ramadan is a sacred time for peaceful study and contemplation, an opportunity for spiritual renewal and a call for leading lives of greater compassion and generosity. This month is also a special occasion of joy, festivity and celebration with loved ones.
"Ramadan reminds us of the rich diversity of our nation, and of the many contributions that Moslems have made to our country as public servants, members of our Armed Services, scholars, artists, athletes and engaged citizens. This month recalls our founding creed ‐ ’E Pluribus Unum’ ‐ and reaffirms the fundamental truth that in our nation’s diversity, we find strength.
"As we begin this blessed month, millions are observing Ramadan under the scourges of war, poverty and persecution. At home, the dangerous, discriminatory Moslem and refugee ban slams the door in Moslems’ faces and dishonors our deepest values as a nation. In a time marked by a shameful rise in hateful attitudes toward Moslem Americans, let us affirm the duty of all Americans to speak out against bigotry and to uphold the dignity of all. May this Ramadan bring the blessings of joy, peace and wisdom. Ramadan Kareem."
