Flint -- The new woman (click here) in charge of Flint water prosecutions says she needs more time to assess the strength of at least two of the pending criminal cases before she’s prepared to defend them.
Michigan Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud told a Genesee district court judge Thursday, March 7, that she’s not ready to press the cases against former emergency manager Darnell Earley or former Flint Department of Public Works Director Howard Croft and won’t be ready by next month either.
“The people are currently evaluating all the evidence in these cases, specifically the defendants that are ... in front of the court today...,” Hammoud said. “We are doing our due diligence in this case ... to evaluate and re-evaluate the evidence in this case and the charges on all defendants.”
Earley, the state-appointed emergency manager in charge of Flint at the start of the city’s water crisis, faces charges of false pretenses, conspiracy to commit false pretenses, willful neglect of duty and misconduct in office....
Yo Yo Ma's Day of Action seems to bring out the character of Flint.

It’s been 1,774 days (click here) since the city of Flint, Michigan, has had drinkable water, and now Jaden Smith is helping residents affected by the crisis.
On Saturday (March 2), the actor’s company, Just Goods, donated a portable water filtration system to Flint’s First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church called the Water Box, which mirrors the system Just uses to bottle its own Just Water, Michigan Live reports. The box was created in collaboration with the church and Smith’s mother, Jada Pinkett-Smith, said she would also be donating a second Water Box to the city.
“We don’t want to disrupt what’s happening with the donation of bottled water to Flint,” Smith told those assembled at the box’s unveiling. “We just want to be the backbone in case something happens to that supply of donated bottled water.”...

Flint — At age 5, (click here) Phil Hagerman started stacking soda bottles for 2-cent deposits at the family pharmacy in Flint. While other children watched cartoons on Saturday mornings, the little boy joyfully went to work with his father.
He knew he would become a pharmacist one day.
“I’m kind of a boring guy,” Hagerman said on a snowy afternoon in February. “I’ve lived within 10 miles my entire life, except for college.”
After a stint at Ferris State University just two hours west, Hagerman returned to the bedroom community of Fenton, where everything began. He partnered with his father and built a health care network specializing in complex diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis. Their private company went public and made a fortune.
All those millions? He takes abandoned buildings rich in history and brings them back to life. He invests in young people launching companies. He makes dreams come true.
Others think of him as the angel investor of Flint....

Let me see if I get this right.
Paul Manafort, a proven criminal, receives sympathy from Trump knowing Manafort never told the truth to the Special Council or the American people.
Michael Cohen, a proven criminal, receives ridicule from Trump knowing Cohen came forward to cooperate with Congress and telling the truth to the American people.
If I had to assess Trump's moral content, it would be that Trump is a criminal that likes other criminals, especially those that lie a lot.

Any war in the Caribbean won't be conventional for long.
Russia and China do not have major staging areas in the Western Hemisphere, at least that I am aware of.
Maduro is backed by Russia and is supplying weapons to him for a tidy price, but, it is my understanding Russia already has soldiers on the ground in Venezuela, albeit a small number at this point.
Any conventional warfare in the Caribbean will be to provide a sense of security from nuclear confrontation with the USA. If the USA has it's guard down, the assault by every ally Putin can find will launch and perhaps not receive any missiles in return, especially with Trump in office.Trump and the only people he cares about, his family, will be down a rabbit hole waiting for Putin to call the all clear.
Now, that might sound strange and delusional, but, Putin wants to end the USA domination in regard to global security and with Kim itching to be part of the big picture, there is no better time than now.
Putin and China are communists and the USA is freedom and democracy. At least that is what the US Constitution demands.
The game is set now, it is a matter of winning that matters.
Oh, one other thing. So much for "If Hillary wins there will be a nuclear war."

What is going on in Venezuela?
Elliot Abrams, the human rights abuser, was put in charge of the USA's efforts in Venezuela. China is screaming no foreign interference and the lights are out all over the country.

A massive power outage hit Venezuela (click here), sending the country into darkness. President Maduro says the United States is to blame for an "electrical war." Yahoo Finance's Zack Guzman and Jeanie Ahn discuss.
This is exactly what I worried about with Trump. He is going to cause an international near border war. I swear, he and Putin are attempting to find ways to invade this country and end our democracy. I would not put anything past Trump if he thinks he can be king.
The United Nations needs to convene about Venezuela and Trump's focus on invasion rather than diplomacy.

Is helping women to have babies socialism?
The province of New South Wales in Australia doesn't think so. I don't want to hear that this is a political football, because, the government has already made the financial support known. There is nothing political about it.

Manu O'Connor tried for four years (click here) to have a baby but it was only when she was 20 weeks pregnant, and her baby the size of a mango, that she began to enjoy the experience.
In that four year period, Ms O'Connor, 40 from Croydon, had been on an "emotional rollercoaster", suffering several miscarriages and dealing with the mounting costs of IVF treatment.
"I had three miscarriages and another two while having IVF so it was only when I was halfway through pregnancy I could be happy and allow myself to get attached," she said on Friday while cuddling 14-week-old Sita.
The government says it wants the IVF process to become easier and has announced a $42 million package to increase access and ease the financial burden.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said if re-elected her government would provide a rebate up to $500 for for IVF prescreening tests which are used to determine whether a woman is likely to experience a positive result.
"Pre-screening tests are often an expensive and emotionally challenging experience for women," she said.
"We will also make IVF an option for more women who previously may not have been able to afford it by expanding the number of NSW government-supported IVF clinics."...
No more Tay-Sachs? Wow. Is the future already here? Is New South Wales leading the way? I know the USA isn't. The testing that is subsidized by NSW with $500 will be the key to the need and viability to IVF for a couple.

The global in-vitro fertilization market size (click here) is expected to reach USD 36.2 billion by 2026, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. The market is driven by the increasing incidence of infertility owing to lifestyle changes, government initiatives to provide better reimbursement policies, and the continuous efforts by the industry contributors. Expansion of fertility procedures for treating male infertility such as ICSI, is projected to positively influence the growth in near future.
Moreover, availability of genomic testing with the ability to prevent the transfer of genetic disease during IVF procedure is expected to drive the market. Increasing number of IVF treatments has encouraged more insurance providers to cover these procedures. This has ultimately led to competitive pricing and has moderated the treatment costs, driving the market with more treatment standardization and automation....

Most NSW voters (click here) are still opposed to the state government funding a new Sydney stadium, polling reveals, as Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Friday launched her first vigorous defence of the $730 million policy.
The new poll, taken two days after Labor leader Michael Daley sensationally told 2GB broadcaster Alan Jones that he would sack most of the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust if elected premier, shows more than 52 per cent of voters oppose or strongly oppose the government's stadiums policy....

So, Trump is screaming no collusion, huh?
To prove further corruption, there is the issue of LIMITING speech within the prosecution. The judge would not allow the words Russian Collusion in the courtroom. The reason could be because there is no specific law that uses the word collusion as it's stated statute.
I have to wonder with or without new evidence if an appeal to the restrictions of language is a possibility?
When Trump starts screaming NO Conspiracy it might get more interesting.
We already know there was a conspiracy with the testimony of Michael Cohen. There was definitely men, including Trump, conspiring to hide the truth from the American people. He can say it was to protect his wife, but, if that was known to the American people at the time the conspiracy was taking place, the election would have had a different outcome.
The women that were conspired against were coming forward to speak to the people, not Mrs. Trump.
