FCC Probes Liberal Nonprofits for Misuse of Government Resources to Fund Left-Wing Pet Projects
See how the left funds itself from your tax dollars. Blood pressure warning
[PJMedia] Last week, Brendan Carr, a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), sent important letters asking exactly why two liberal nonprofits seem to have abused their FCC-provided broadband internet to fund pet projects. The Educational Broadcast Service (EBS) licenses are intended to help schools, but nonprofits seem to have wasted them.

"The FCC lets schools use valuable spectrum ‐ a public resource ‐ for free to offer students educational programming. Turns out that national organizations may be siphoning off millions of dollars for their own purposes, including political activity. I've asked for answers," Carr tweeted on Wednesday with one of the letters.

#1  This shouldn't be surprising. Non-profits are generally the scum of the earth, operating for profit while avoiding taxes and employing people too incompetent for even government work. These bull**** foundations that wealthy people create to hide their money and keep generations after them wealthy during high tax regimes they encourage naturally have the side job of encouraging every liberal cause imaginable through every scummy means available.

Former Pres. Bill Clinton claims he 'knows nothing' about Jeffrey Epstein's alleged child sex crimes
[Washington Examiner] The spokesman for former President Bill Clinton issued a statement Monday denying knowledge of the alleged child sex crimes for which Jeffrey Epstein was recently arrested.

"President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York," the statement read. "In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: One to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip."

"He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein's New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail," it continued. "He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida."

Fox News reported in 2016 that Clinton went on at least 26 trips aboard Epstein's "Lolita Express," according to Federal Aviation Administration records.

With the five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, no Secret Service agent was listed as having traveled with Clinton.

#17  Ann Coulter interviewed on a NYC radio program. She's onto something - this perv's money is dubious. He's not really a hedge fund manager - otherwise we'd know all about the supposedly brilliant trading strategies that supposedly generated his fortune.

No: he's been funded by someone - maybe Wexner of Victoria's Secret / Limited, Inc. fame.

Another fascinating nugget: the perv installed cameras everywhere. He's got the goods on Bill, Andrew et al.

Is he acting as cat's paw for a blackmailing state actor?

Trump Banned Epstein From Mar-A-Lago For Alleged Assault On Underage Girl
[DAILYCALLER] Bradley Edwards, a lawyer who represented Jefferey Epstein’s victims, stated in court documents that Trump had barred Epstein from his Mar-A-Lago estate "because Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club."

Neither Trump nor Mar-A-Lago have confirmed that Epstein had been banned from the club. (RELATED: Child Sex-Trafficking Charges Against Jeffrey Epstein
...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whores sex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and has so far made 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, and some cases are ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged.....

During the 2016 election Trump alleged Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
’s might have a strong connection to Epstein, Clinton is reported to have traveled on Epstein’s plane dozens of times. Referring to Clinton, Trump stated, "Nice guy ‐ uh, got a lot of problems coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island, with Jeffrey Epstein. A lot of problems."

Court filings obtained by Fox News show that Clinton traveled on Epstein’s private plane the "Lolita Express," 26 times. On some of those trips Clinton allegedly left without his secret service detail.

Epstein was arrested in New York on Saturday for alleged sex-trafficking offenses dating back from the early 2000’s. His charges include one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
Monday to all charges.

Britain
UK minister to apologize to Ivanka over ambassador’s leaked memos
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Britannia’s trade minister said on Monday he would apologize to US President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
’s daughter Ivanka for a leak of confidential memos in which the UK ambassador describes the US administration as "dysfunctional" and "inept".

The memos from Kim Darroch, the ambassador to Washington, were leaked to a Sunday newspaper, annoying Trump and triggering demands on the British side to find out who had disclosed them.

Trade Minister Liam Fox, who is on a visit to Washington, told BBC radio he would apologize to the president’s daughter Ivanka, whom he is due to meet during his trip.

"I will be apologizing for the fact that either our civil service or elements of our political class have not lived up to the expectations that either we have or the United States has about their behavior, which in this particular case has lapsed in a most extraordinary and unacceptable way," he said.

"Malicious leaks of this nature ... can actually lead to a damage to that relationship, which can therefore affect our wider security interest."

The revelations come at a time when Britannia is hoping to strike a major trade deal with its closest ally after it leaves the Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union, an exit currently scheduled for Oct. 31.

Trump told news hounds, of Darroch: "We are not big fans of that man and he has not served the UK well, so I can understand and I can say things about him but I won’t bother."

UK offers ‘full support’ for its US envoy in Trump row

Warren sucks up to anti Israel group
[FreeBeacon] 2020 hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) told activists at an event Monday that she supported pressuring Israel to, in their words, "end occupation" of Palestinian territories
[many Paleos consider 'occupation' includes Haifa and Tel Aviv].
In a video posted by the left-wing Jewish group IfNotNow on Twitter, two of its activists approached Warren for a picture‐she poses for photos with anyone who wants them after campaign events‐and introduced themselves as American Jews with a proposition for her.

"We really love the way you're fighting corruption. We'd really love it if you also pushed the Israeli government to end occupation," one of the activists said.

"Yes, yes. So I'm there," Warren said quickly.

Warren then took a picture with the two activists.

Warren's campaign did not respond to a request for comment about her stance on the conflict.

Among IfNotNow's supporters is Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), a Palestinian-American and one of the most outspoken anti-Israel voices in Congress.

The group was co-founded by Max Berger, a Warren staffer who has taken criticism after deleting a 2013 tweet that he would "totally be friends with Hamas," the Palestinian terrorist group.

Swalwell Drops Out Of Presidential Race
[DAILYCALLER] 2020 Presidential candidate Eric Swalwell announced he is dropping out of the presidential race Monday at a presser in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.

The California Rep. began his presidential bid three months ago, and was one of 24 main Democratic candidates. During his campaign, Swalwell struggled to gain traction and his poll numbers have peaked at 1%, East Bay Citizen reported. He is the first major Democratic candidate to drop out of the race.

"Today ends our presidential campaign, but it is the beginning of an opportunity in Congress with a new perspective shaped by the lives that have touched mine and our campaign throughout these last three months," Swalwell announced Monday. "To bring that promise of America to all Americans."
