<br />
Michael Cohen, consiglieri of the Trump crime organization, really did visit Prague in late summer of 2016 during the Presidential election, according to evidence now in the hands of the Mueller investigation. Cohen had denied this allegation of the Steele dossier, but the Justice Department's special counsel now has evidence that Cohen lied, says a report tonight from McClatchy.<br />
<br />
The purpose of Cohen's visit to Prague was reportedly to meet with agents of Russian intelligence to discuss the remuneration of east Europeans who cooperated in the hacking of emails from the Democratic National Committee, and a strategy to hide those hackers from possible detection after the fact.<br />
<br />
Cohen's denial, and the absence of publicly-visible evidence were cited by Trump supporters as a reason to disbelieve the Steele dossier. Of course, much independent evidence has come forth since then to substantiate large parts of the dossier, and Mueller has evidence that this part of the dossier is true too. Cohen is President Trump's personal lawyer.<br />
<br />
Cohen appears to be heading into even greater legal trouble after the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York seized a large volume of evidence from Cohen's home, bank, office, and other locations. To do this, the Justice Department must have had convincing evidence that Cohen has engaged in criminal acts, and that there was a danger he would destroy evidence of those acts.<br />
<br />
Because the seized evidence goes back for many years, there is a significant chance that it touches on crimes committed by the Trump business organization. Communications with Trump may reveal other criminal acts, including collusion with the Russians to influence the 2016 election.<br />
<br />
The President is said to be very worried that Mueller is closing in on him.<br />
<br />
Republicans in Congress have been extremely narrow-minded and unpatriotic in their persistent threats against the special counsel and their support of Trump in his destruction of American democratic institutions. Perhaps now they can see the writing on the wall and reverse their traitorous course of action. <br />

<br />
Reports surfaced today that Robert Mueller, the special investigator for the Russia probe, intends to indict Paul Manafort, former campaign chairman for Donald Trump. <br />
<br />
Also surfacing today are reports that the FISA court granted warrants to wiretap Manafort because of the CIA's severe concerns about Manafort's Russia contacts, long before he became Trump's campaign chairman. This suggests that evidence against Manafort is already on tape in the form of intelligence intercepts. <br />
<br />
FBI agents picked the lock of Manafort's home and knocked on his bedroom door before removing documents and copying computer files, back in June. For a FISA court order to grant this extraordinary power, Mueller must have had good evidence of a serious crime, and reason to believe that Manafort would destroy the evidence.<br />
<br />
Again, Trump's former campaign manager has been notified that he will be indicted. The pressure is ratcheting up on Trump and his cronies, the traitors who sold out the US to its Russian enemies.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1425479127437913656.post-191187231977088252017-03-30T20:58:00.001-04:002017-03-30T21:19:02.928-04:00Mike Flynn Cringes, Asks for Immunity<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Lies Catch Up to Former Trump Presidential Advisor</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">Former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn has told the
Senate Intelligence Committee he is willing to be interviewed about the Trump administration's possible ties to Russia in return for a grant of immunity from
prosecution. Flynn served as President
Trump's National Security Advisor for three weeks before resigning because of lying
to conceal his contacts with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Of particular interest to the American people is whether Flynn discussed the removal of US sanctions on Russia in return for Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and whether Trump himself was involved.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">First, Flynn told the Washington Post he didn't discuss
sanctions with Kislyak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"> Then, it was revealed that Flynn had met Kislyak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"> Next, Flynn said he couldn't remember whether they had
discussed sanctions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"> Now, Flynn thinks he needs immunity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">Flynn's lawyer confirmed that discussions had taken place
with the House and Senate Intelligence Committees Asking for a grant of immunity is a common protection
sought even by innocent witnesses, but in Flynn’s compromised situation it signals
much, much more.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why did the Trump transition team do such a poor job vetting Mike Flynn for the job of National Security Advisor? Flynn failed to disclose payments for representing Russian interests, including his appearance at a Russian Television dinner with Vladimir Putin. Then Flynn was caught representing the Turkish government. Flynn registered as a foreign agent only after being caught and fired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The DOJ warned the White House that Mike Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail for lying about his foreign contacts, before he was selected as National Security Advisor. But the White House kept Mike Flynn on the job for three more weeks. Why? Flynn should have been fired immediately as a foreign agent.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;">Perhaps soon we will have proof that the Trump administration is packed with traitors selling out America to the Russian Kleptocracy of Tsar Vladimir.</span></span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nunes’s
Bias Exposed, Confirms Need for Independent Investigation</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Congressman Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee, announced yesterday that he is backing down from his
assertion that Donaald Trump and his aides were monitored by U.S. intelligence
services. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A spokesman added that Nunes needed to obtain documents from
the intelligence community before he could assess if Trump or his associates
had been monitored. As for Donald Trump's
unhinged assertion that Obama wiretapped him, Nunes repeated what he has said
previously, telling reporters, "That didn't happen."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The allegation is merely about “incidental collection," meaning that it occurred incidentally during the surveillance of foreign
intelligence targets, not the direct monitoring of domestic targets like Trump,
his campaign, or his transition team. Electronic monitoring requires warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court if the
foreigners are in the United States or if a conversation crosses U.S.
communication systems. However, Republican
political hacks gladly lied about the matter for political gain. On Thursday, the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee sent out an email about Nunes' remarks with the subject
line, "Confirmed: Obama Spied on Trump." Now we see that the Republicans were
spreading a lie, and Nunes was merely creating an opportunity to spread the propaganda. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Nunes still has not identified the source of his
information. Also, without explanation, he canceled next week's open committee hearing and scheduled a closed session, depriving the American people of their right to know more about Trump's collusion in the Russian cyberwar against the US.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The entire role of Nunes in this affair is highly
suspicious. Without telling his
committee, Nunes rushed to the White House last week and later announced that
he had told “President” Trump that US intelligence agencies had picked up
conversations of Trump and his campaign associates as “incidental collection”
during surveillance of other targets. Nunes
is supposed to be investigating Trump, not giving him advance notice of
information to be placed before the committee.
Nunes later apologized for a bad decision, but had already exposed
himself as either lacking judgment or a Trump agent, or both. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">All of this foolishness shows that Nunes is totally
unqualified. Time after time, he makes
bad decisions, shows bias for Trump, and shows no cognizance of the gravity of the
national security matters before the House Intelligence Committee.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The only solution is an independent investigative commission,
totally out of the hands of biased Republican hacks and incompetent fools like
Nunes.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">US officials told CNN today that the FBI has evidence of

coordinate the release of information damaging to the presidential campaign of Hillary
Clinton.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This evidence constitutes a part of the investigation into
the Trump campaign’s links to Russian intelligence, announced by FBI Director
James Comey in his testimony Monday to the House Intelligence Committee. Comey testified that the FBI had "a
credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American
may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">One law enforcement official told CNN the FBI has evidence

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This shows that there is indeed “more than circumstantial

the US have evidently coordinated their actions with the Russian bot-attack, in
which automated comments were placed in volume on Democratic and other social
media to further the divide between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and to
falsely vilify them to the American people.

<br />
"Secretary of State" Rex Tillerson has announced that he will skip the meeting of NATO foreign ministers and will instead make a visit to Moscow in April to congratulate the criminals who conducted the cyberwar operation against the 2016 US presidential campaign.<br />
<br />
The truth about the Trump administration could not be clearer: Trump is rewarding his Russian supporters by weakening NATO and legitimizing Putin's criminal regime in Moscow.<br />
<br />
NATO has been the most effective military and foreign policy instrument of the United States since the end of World War II. It has participated in and enables our wars in the Middle East, just as it always provided a bulwark against the aggressive Soviet Union. NATO continues to save US taxpayers uncounted billions of dollars, and lives of US soldiers, by multiplying American military might and economic power. <br />
<br />
In NATO, we are allied with democracies and advanced economies who share our values and support our international interests. Their modern armed forces multiply our American might, and their territories provide bases from which we conduct our own operations in the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and elsewhere. The soldiers of their armed forces have given their lives alongside our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in the fight against terrorism.<br />
<br />
By snubbing our NATO allies, Tillerson is sabotaging the interests of the United States and giving aid and comfort to our enemies in Russia. <br />
<br />
This is the same Rex Tillerson who, as the chairman of Exxon, used a false email name to coordinate his strategies with US regulators, who hid his own company's findings about the impact of fossil fuels on global climate change, and who used lies and propaganda trying to hide the scientific truth that burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Tillerson has proven himself to be an enemy of the future of the human race.<br />
<br />
And now he has proven himself to be a traitor to the United States. What could be more despicable and hateful to the American people?<br />

The United States has issued a formal apology to the United
Kingdom for President Trump’s claim that
UK intelligence services helped former President Barak Obama spy on
Trump with a wiretap.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apologies were made by two talking heads – press secretary
Sean Spicer and national security adviser McMaster – but so far there is no
word of an apology through official
diplomatic channels. Such official
channels are under the direction of “Secretary of State” Tillerson, who seems to
have abandoned diplomacy in a deliberate attempt to destroy the international
influence of the United States. So far,
the blustering demagogue Trump has not apologized personally.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last week, Trump accused former President Barak Obama of
using wiretapping to spy on Trump during the 2016 election campaign. FBI chief James Comey and former CIA chief
James Clapper both denied Trump’s wild claim.
Yesterday, the senate intelligence committee published a statement
saying they had no evidence for Mr. Trump's claim.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After those claims were officially refuted, Trump accused GCHQ,
the headquarters of UK intelligence, of spying to help Obama. But now, Britain has denied those wild
claims, and the White House has apologized for the wild lie.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trump will say anything to stir up trouble against his
political opponents. His constant lies
show an utter disrespect for the American people and the office of the presidency. Trump is a demagogue and is not qualified to
lead the nation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
Members of Congress who support Trump also show their disrespect
for the Constitution and the American people. By repeating his lying rhetoric and supporting
his hateful policies, they have positioned themselves as traitors to America
and enemies of the American people, who will know what to do in the next
Congressional elections. The fascist
ideologues of Congress had better wake up and do something to rein in the liar
Trump before he destroys America and the American people utterly.<br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Republican Platform Gutted in Return for Russian Cyberwar against the Democrats</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort,
worked with a Russian agent to forge a deal with Putin: In return for Russian interference in the US
presidential election, Trump removed criticism of Russia’s stance in the
Ukraine from the Republican party platform.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The operative, Konstantin Kilimnik, came under scrutiny from
officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the State Department
partly because of at least two trips he took to the U.S. during the
presidential campaign.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The news site Politico announced yesterday that, after a
late summer trip to the U.S., Kilimnik suggested that he had played a role in
gutting a proposed amendment to the Republican Party platform that would have
staked out a more adversarial stance towards Russia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kilimnik’s relationship with Manafort traces back to 2005.
That’s when Manafort hired Kilimnik to work for him in Ukraine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Manafort was already actively helping a pro-Russian
political party in the Ukraine, and received payments of millions of dollars
for helping the Russians in return.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mounting scrutiny of Manafort’s work in Ukraine, and alleged
cash payments from a pro-Russian political party in the Ukraine, forced him to
resign from the Trump campaign.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the proof is coming out:
Donald Trump bought the election by selling US security in return for
Russian cyberattacks on Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is disgusting that Republicans in Congress lack the patriotism to force Trump to come to justice. All they ALL traitors?</div>

<br />
Trump's insanity went totally out of control this weekend when he accused former President Barack Obama of ordering a wiretap of Trump and his presidential campaign. The total chaos of his administration has seized control of Trump's sick mind, and the Orange Demagogue has totally lost it now.<br />
<br />
The accusation has no more material substance than than its origin in the rantings of a right-wing radio idiot, repeated and amplified by the fascist goons at Breitbart. The orange goon is trying again to govern the country with lying propaganda, and it isn't working.<br />
<br />
<b>FBI Director Comey Says That Trump Is a Liar</b><br />
<br />
FBI Director Comey has rejected Trump's claim as totally false, and has asked the Justice Department to refute Trump's claim. Comey investigated Trump's opponent, Secretary Hillary Clinton, endlessly and threw the election to Trump by resuming the investigation only days before the election. Trump is obviously a liar, because he cannot claim that Comey is biased against him. <br />
<br />
<b>Former CIA Chief Says That Trump Is a Liar</b><br />
<br />
Former CIA head James Clapper, who served as Director of National Intelligence for six years under Obama, rejected Trump's claim in an interview on "Meet the Press" Sunday. Clapper said of the agencies that he oversaw, "there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, the president-elect, or against his campaign."<br />
<br />
<b>Not without Reason</b><br />
<br />
Of course, a court would have to authorize a wiretap, which means that there would be evidence of a crime, which means that a wiretap would not have been without reason. Trump's claim implies that he is guilty of something.<br />
<br />
<b>Trump Is on the Way Out</b><br />
<br />
Trump is out of control and a danger to the United States. For this and many other reasons, the Congrass has no other option than to impeach Trump, convict him of one of his many crimes, and get him out of office. The safety of America depends on it.<br />
<br />
A good way to start would be to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the collusion of the Trump campaign with Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential election. Trump's insanity is another place to start.<br />

Justice Department officials announced that the infamous
fascist hate-monger, Jeff Sessions, presently the Attorney General of the
United States, acted as intermediary between Donald Trump’s presidential
campaign and officials of the Russian government, at a time that Sessions was
an active member of Trump’s campaign team.</div>

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Combined with earlier reports of contacts between Trump’s campaign team
and the Russian government, it is now totally clear that the Trump campaign was
involved from top to bottom in collusion with the Russians. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Sessions absolutely denied any contacts with Russian
officials during the campaign. Sessions
deliberately misled the committee and the nation about his seditious and
treasonous behavior.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many have already called for Sessions to recuse himself from
investigations of Russian cyber-war in the Presidential election. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recusal is not enough.
Sessions must be removed from office.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There can no longer be any doubt that Trump collaborated
with the Russians to rig the US election.
As a dupe and agent of the Russians, Trump must be impeached and
convicted of treason, along with the other fascist criminals who abetted him.</div>

<br />
The Department of Education has taken down the website that formerly informed teachers, administrators, and the families of disabled students of their options and rights for accessing education under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA).<br />
<br />
Trump publicly displayed his hate for the disabled during the Presidential campaign, and is following through with a full-blown war on disabled Americans.<br />
<br />
This move is consistent with administration policy that substitutes "alternative facts" (lies) of alt-right ignoramuses for the basic facts instilled by public education. DeVos is infamous for her dishonest campaign to destroy public education with so-called "charter schools". America entered the modern age thanks to public education, and it will decline into third-world status through the ignorant hatred of right-wing hatemongers like DeVos.<br />
<br />
By confirming DeVos's appointment, the Republican hatemongers of Congress have demonstrated their allegiance to hatemonger Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the fundamentalist hatemongers of the alt-right.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1425479127437913656.post-28500082963851356492016-12-12T22:03:00.002-05:002016-12-12T22:03:23.648-05:00FBI Covered Up Russian Manipulation of the US Presidential Election<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Continued surveillance of the earth is the only way mankind
can track climate change and its impact on the living systems that sustain our
lives. Now the astoundingly ignorant
demagogue and President-elect, Donald Trump, wants to end NASA’s vital program
of climate change research.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Robert Walker, a lobbyist appointed by Trump to lead the
NASA transition for the new administration, has said there was no need for NASA
to do missions that he previously called <b><i>“politically correct environmental
monitoring”</i></b>. Walker, who was the
chair of aerospace research under George Bush, said the “interference” of
politicians in climate change research was preventing scientists from
discovering the “reality” about climate change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now the political
hacks define “reality”<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Walker is blatantly illogical and prejudicial. This lobbying hack has decided <i>a priori</i> that he already knows the
“reality” about climate change, meaning that he is trying to peddle <i>preconceived</i> <i>notions</i>. How misleading and
pernicious of him to accuse scientists of hiding “reality” when their data and
methods are public knowledge. Scientific
data are public knowledge that anyone can review and interpret. If someone wants to disagree about global
warming, all he needs to do is publish a paper with the relevant data,
analysis, and conclusions. The reality
is there for all to see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Walker is an ignorant
liar with no credibility<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How can “monitoring” be “politically correct”? Monitoring means observing and measuring. Observing a system is the first step in
understanding that system and what makes it tick. It is a part of the scientific method, which
Walker obviously does not understand. He
is shockingly ignorant and malicious. <i>Is this responsible governing? </i>Walker is a self-contradictory
propagandist like his boss Trump. This
crawling creep places ideology over truth, and will drive America to climate
hell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trump wants manned exploration of space at the expense of
understanding planet earth. Such are the
<i>fevered dreams</i> of an infantile,
narcissistic demagogue. Trump would
substitute grandiose dreams of space exploration for the practical
understanding of planet earth -- understanding that “enables us to live better
lives and actually save lives.” "While deep space exploration enables us
to have big dreams, understanding planet earth enables us to live better lives
and actually save lives," Malte Meinshausen, director of the Climate &
Energy College at Melbourne University, told the Sydney Morning Herald.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist and the head of NASA's
Goddard Institute for Space Studies, believes that Trump won't be able to fulfill
his promise to make such drastic cuts. The federal bureaucracy's size and
complexity makes it impossible to change course so swiftly and radically,
Schmidt argues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The same NASA systems that enable climate research also
enable weather forecasting and detection of environmental hazards. Trump cannot eliminate NASA climate research
without also eliminating weather observation and environmental hazard
detection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ongoing operations of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard depend on awareness of the immediate environment, and planning
future forces and operations of the uniformed services requires an
understanding of probable future climates and their impact on human
activities. The US military already
incorporates anthropogenic climate change into its planning for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His attack on NASA earth science is just another way Trump
has shown that he does not care about the loyal Americans who serve in the
military. <i>Narcissistic egotists are like that</i>. After all, Trump refuses to refer to American
POWs as “heroes”. <i>He only likes winners</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Humanitarian relief and peace enforcement are two of the main
missions of the US military, which is one of the first organizations called on
to respond to humanitarian disasters around the world. As cities sink beneath the waves, as deserts
replace croplands, as millions of refugees surge across national borders – how
prepared will we be? And of course, the
US is not immune to the human impact of continued anthropogenic climate change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

In the wake of Trump’s electoral victory, commentators of all
political persuasions are castigating the Democratic Party for ignoring the
concerns of rural voters, the flyover states, and working-class Americans in
general. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The irony is that it was the Democratic administration of
Barak Obama that relieved the gravest concerns of these constituencies, who
lost jobs and homes in the wake of the 2007-2008 Bush Financial Crisis, and
regained them under the Obama Recovery. <o:p></o:p></div>

If concerns remained, it was only because the Democratic
Party and the campaign of Hillary Clinton failed to deliver this winning economic
message. Left to the mercies of a lying

The George W. Bush Crash was the worst financial crisis
since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Because of deregulation and lax oversight by the Republican
administration, investment houses lied about the riskiness of their securities,
covertly traded unrated securities in the shadow banking system, and accumulated
debt without regard to risk. Risky
mortgages were pushed on ordinary consumers, who piled on more debt, and risky
securities were represented as gilt-edge to unknowing consumers and managers of
public finances. Then the crisis hit: <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Interior Department today finalized a regulation to capture emissions from the flaring and venting of natural gas in drilling operations on public lands. Studies have shown that methane released from these operations is a significant component of overall global emissions of methane, including intentional burning and venting by operators, accidents, and leaks not detected by operators. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Methane is a major contributor to global warming through the greenhouse effect.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The rule would require close monitoring of Melania Trump's frequent emissions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Trump administration is anticipated to review and nullify the rule. "The fate of the world's children is no concern of ours," said an ill-informed member of the transition team. "If you hippies are so concerned, go kill some cows."</span><br />

The security of the United States was dealt another blow
today when President-elect Donald Trump named infamous nuclear-energy denier
Myron Ebell to plan the Trump administration’s dismantlement of the strategic
nuclear deterrent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ebell is not a scientist.
Despite his ignorance and shameless illogic, he has been a thorn in the
side of physicists. Ebell spreads
propaganda questioning the overwhelming scientific consensus that nuclear
fission and nuclear fusion are the basis for the technology of the A-bomb and
the H-bomb.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“These are merely <i>so-called</i>
nuclear weapons”, Ebell said in response to questions from the press. “The scientific establishment has perpetrated
a hoax on the American people that invisible things called nuclei are
responsible for the big bangs made by our missiles and thingies.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We all know that coal, oil, and natural gas do a much
better job of blowing things up. We will
build very big gas bombs and Melania will release them after a White House dinner.” Ebell denied any ties to the coal, oil, and
natural gas industries.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ebell also scoffed at reporters’ references to the work of
Einstein and Fermi. “You’re talking
about wetback foreigners”, he sneered.
“Einstein and Fermi will be among the first three million rounded up by
the Deportation Police”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Besides, isn’t Einstein the dog in <i>Back to the Future</i>?”
Ebell seemed disoriented as he sneered “What kind of animal is a Furby,
anyway?" The interview ended when Ebell humiliated himself by peeing
his pants and throwing a tantrum, screaming “You’re trying to
confuse me with facts!”</div>

<br />
The AP did the research and found records proving that she entered the US and did modeling work without proper papers. She earned income during that time. This is based on internal records from the modeling firm that employed Melania.<br />
<br />
Several months ago, Donald Trump announced that Melania would hold a press conference where she would produce her visa. She never did, and has said nothing on the subject since.<br />
<br />
Trump lied about Melania's work status, and he lied again when he said that she would produce proof of her legal work status.<br />
<br />
Melania was an illegal alien stealing jobs from Americans. She DID NOT have a legal work visa.<br />
<br />
This is immigration fraud, and she covered it up. It could still get her in trouble.<br />
<br />
President Trump would have her deported.<br />
<br />
If Donald is so concerned about immigrants stealing jobs, he should have Melania volunteer to be deported back to Russia. As if the self-centered little boy was truly concerned for America.<br />
<br />
Donald Trump once again shows what a hypocrite he is.<br />
<br />
They are all rapists, says the demagogue and hypocrite. Coming from an accused rapist it could be funny, but for America it's just pathetic.<br />
