A broad low (click here) over the western Gulf of Mexico is producing widespread showers. Although the chances of it developing into a tropical depression are now low, the threat for heavy rainfall persists. Follow products by the Weather Prediction Center. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/  @NWSWPC

Kindly remember these early season storms are some of the most disastrous in this Climate Crisis troposphere. The early storms are stagnating over coastal cities and staying for days.

On Tuesday morning (June 4), (click here) the National Hurricane Center was monitoring showers and thunderstorm activity linked to a broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The slow-moving disturbance had become disorganized since Monday, but forecasters said it’s still possible it could strengthen to a depression before moving inland over northeastern Mexico later Tuesday.

Heavy rainfall is the primary weather threat. The disturbance is “likely to produce heavy rainfall over portions of eastern Mexico, southeastern Texas and the Lower Mississippi River Valley” over coming days, according to the forecast.

The disturbance has a 40% chance of developing into a depression over the next 48 hours, forecasters said....

If there are ruffled feathers in Ireland and/or Northern Ireland, there are few people able to discuss that except Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister and the delegation he lead.

He is currently in Israel and has made comments about anti-semitism in the Labour Party. In expanded comments, the former Prime Minister Blair believes Jeremy Corbyn is unaware of the anti-semitic content of such comments.

The Special Counsel did not cite law because he wanted to impress anyone. He cited law because the law of the USA has been broken. The current Attorney General William Barr is obstructing justice by undermining the Rule of Law of the United States of America.

Section 1512(c)(2) is an omnibus obstruction-of-justice provision that covers a range of obstructive acts directed at pending or contemplated official proceedings....

Currently, Donald J. Trump is interrupting the proceedings of US Congressional proceedings. He is directing personnel present or past not to not cooperate with Congress. He is breaking the law.

...No principle of statutory construction justifies narrowing the provision to cover only conduct that impairs the integrity or availability of evidence. Sections 1503 and 1505 also offer broad protection against obstructive acts directed at pending grand jury, judicial, administrative, and congressional proceedings, and they are supplemented by a provision in Section 1512(6) aimed specifically at conduct intended to prevent or hinder the communication to law enforcement of information related to a federal crime.

Constitutional defenses.

As for constitutional defenses arising from the President's status as the head of the Executive Branch, we recognized that the Department of Justice and the courts have not definitively resolved these issues. We therefore examined those issues through the framework established by Supreme Court precedent governing separation-of-powers issues. The Department of Justice and the President's personal counsel have recognized that the President is subject to statutes that prohibit obstruction of justice by bribing a witness or suborning perjury because that conduct does not implicate his constitutional authority. With respect to whether the President can be found to have obstructed justice by exercising his powers under Article II of the Constitution, we concluded that Congress has authority to prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.

These are not "IF" or "MAYBE" statements. These are the laws the president has broken to the point his own council recognizes the fact he has conducted himself unlawfully.

HIS OWN COUNCIL RECOGNIZES TRUMP'S LAWLESSNESS.


I can just hear Guiliani, "I recognize the president is a bit of a lawbreaker, but, look Bob, he is a good guy."

Guilani is not a lawyer, he is a saleman.

Under applicable Supreme Court precedent, the Constitution does not categorically and permanently immunize a President for obstructing justice through the use of his Article II powers.

The President of the United States of America is not above the law.

The separation-of-powers doctrine authorizes Congress to protect official proceedings, including those of courts and grand juries, from corrupt, obstructive acts regard less of their source.

Got that? No, let me repeat it.

The separation-of-powers doctrine authorizes Congress to protect official proceedings, including those of courts and grand juries, from corrupt, obstructive acts regardless of their source.

No one has to put up with a lawbreaker or a person that seeks to corrupt the government of the USA. No one is above the law. The Special Counsel did not use the word corrupt lightly. THE WORD WAS CORRUPT.


We also concluded that any inroad on presidential authority that would occur from prohibiting corrupt acts does not undermine the President's ability to fulfill his constitutional mission.

Any method that would to prohibit corrupt acts does not undermine the President's abilities for a CONSTITUTIONAL MISSION. In other words, when Congress acts to obtain documents and/or testimony it does not impress power on the Executive Branch so much that it changes the mission or the power or the law that the Executive Branch enjoys.

The term "corruptly" sets a demanding standard. It requires a concrete showing that a person acted with an intent to obtain an improper advantage for himself or someone else, inconsistent with official duty and the rights of others.

What was that? Oh. Others have rights besides Trump. That means others, such as Guilliani and Barr, have free will to carry out lawful acts even though Trump is demanding a loyalty pledge and unlawful acts. I guess that's why James Comey was fired. He didn't sign on to a loyalty pledge to carry out unlawful acts. Firing James Comey was a big mistake by Trump. James Comey did nothing wrong regardless of the hideous idea of a Deep State.

Trump lives the mythology of a Deep State and to him anyone else that doesn't believe in his mythology where he is god is not worthy. Trump is a maniacal lawbreaker that creates FEASIBLE fantasy and expects everyone else to abide by it. He is currently involved with Barr to imagineering a Deep State to justify Trump's lawlessness. Trump has broken so many laws he can't find a way out of them so he is creating his own world whereby everyone else is the lawbreaker and he is the victim.

The Special Counsel outlines below the fact investigation or acts to end corruption does not change the presidency.

A preclusion of"corrupt" official action does not diminish the President's ability to exercise Article II powers. For example, the proper supervision of criminal law does not demand freedom for the President to act with a corrupt intention of shielding himself from criminal punishment, avoiding financial liability, or preventing personal embarrassment. To the contrary, a statute that prohibits official action undertaken for such corrupt purposes furthers, rather than hinders, the impartial and evenhanded administration of the law. It also aligns with the President's constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws. Finally, we concluded that in the rare case in which a criminal investigation of the President's conduct is justified, inquiries to determine whether the President acted for a corrupt motive should not impermissibly chill his performance of his constitutionally assigned duties. The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the President's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law. 

There is no doubt there is a separation of powers in the USA. That separation of powers is in full display these past few days. The president is in Europe for the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, while the US Congress continues to carry out it's responsibilities in asking for documents and testimony to fulfill their constitutional duty to the people of the USA.

CONCLUSION

Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President's conduct. 

They didn't exactly determine they not to carry out traditional prosecutorial judgment. They were forced to set aside an indictment of the president because of a stupid opinion that should be challenged in court that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment. At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him

we would so state

we would so state

we would so state

Tell me how many times this has to be stated before people finally hear it?

we would so state

we would so state

we would so state

The Special Counsel did not exonerate Trump. Barr decided to exonerate Trump because he was loyal to the president. Barr decided to not only exonerate Trump from lawbreaking in the face of evidence otherwise he drew up a four page falsified document to obstruct a Congressional investigation. I remind, the release of the redacted Special Council report came AFTER Robert S. Mueller wrote a two page letter to Barr to provide at least the Introduction and Executive Summary of both volumes to Congress and the public. Barr has no intention of allowing Trump to be held responsible for his lawbreaking. If we are to follow the thinking of the Special Counsel, the lawbreaking is not an isolated issue as when it is allowed to exist it encourages more lawbreaking. It seems obvious to me that is true as Trump continues to obstruct justice after Barr so willingly did as well.

Trump's lawyers are simply carrying out strategies regardless of whether they are possible or not just to do it. This is that same stupid stuff that happens with Trump. Evidently, Sessions and McGahn were the only ones with a strong enough character to stand their ground and let the president know he will have their resignations rather than give in to his hideous demands.

Everyone else is either willing to break the law with him or sufficiently fearful of him to maintain their own legal stature. Now, we have an Attorney General that the American people can't count on to protect the country from a maniacal president.

Barr, after reading the Special Counsel report, should have insisted Congress carry out the impeachment while providing every bit of evidence possible to allow it to happen. Robert Mueller has absolutely no problem stating the president is a criminal. It is here in the report and his words upon closing the office of the Special Counsel were clear on that fact. Barr is covering up the truth and attempting to undermine The Rule of Law all over again by CONTINUING the assault on the upper echelons of the FBI and the Special Counsel that Trump started.

THE DEEP STATE IS POLITICAL RHETORIC not a reality TV show!

Statutory defenses.

Consistent with precedent and the Department of Justice's general approach to interpreting obstruction statutes, we concluded that several statutes could apply here. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1505, 1512(b)(3), 1512(c)(2). Section 1512(c)(2)

18 U.S. Code § 1512.(b)Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant (click here)

(3)

hinder, delay, or prevent the communication to a law enforcement officer or judge of the United States of information relating to the commission or possible commission of a Federal offense or a violation of conditions of probation [1] supervised release,,[1] parole, or release pending judicial proceedings;

shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

...ls an omnibus obstruction-of-justice provision that covers a range of obstructive acts directed at pending or contemplated official proceedings. No principle of statutory construction justifies narrowing the provision to cover only conduct that impairs the integrity or availability of evidence. Sections 1503 and 1505 also offer broad protection against obstructive acts directed at pending grand jury,

(c)

(2)

otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,

18 U.S. Code § 1503.Influencing or injuring officer or juror generally (click here

(a)

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or officer in or of any court of the United States, or officer who may be serving at any examination or other proceeding before any United States magistrate judge or other committing magistrate, in the discharge of his duty, or injures any such grand or petit juror in his person or property on account of any verdict or indictment assented to by him, or on account of his being or having been such juror, or injures any such officer, magistrate judge, or other committing magistrate in his person or property on account of the performance of his official duties, or corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b). If the offense under this section occurs in connection with a trial of a criminal case, and the act in violation of this section involves the threat of physical force or physical force, the maximum term of imprisonment which may be imposed for the offense shall be the higher of that otherwise provided by law or the maximum term that could have been imposed for any offense charged in such case.

18 U.S. Code § 1505.Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees (click here)

Whoever, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance, in whole or in part, with any civil investigative demand duly and properly made under the Antitrust Civil Process Act, willfully withholds, misrepresents, removes from any place, conceals, covers up, destroys, mutilates, alters, or by other means falsifies any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories, or oral testimony, which is the subject of such demand; or attempts to do so or solicits another to do so; or

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—

There are laws.

Continued from a previous entry.

This was the last paragraph i read and it is rather important so I am going to repeat it. 

Third, many of the President's acts directed at witnesses, including discouragement of cooperation with the government and suggestions of possible future pardons, took place in public view. That circumstance is unusual, but no principle of law excludes public acts from the reach of the obstruction laws. If the likely effect of public acts is to influence witnesses or alter their testimony, the harm to the justice system's integrity is the same.

Trump is continuing to obstruct justice before our very eyes. He is telling witnesses to the US Congress to disobey subpoenas. That is a continuance of a behavior and abuse of power throughout the entire investigation into Russia's assault on the USA election system.

The obstruction of justice Trump carries out is in public view. it is still in public view. There is just no doubt he commits these crimes, but the real issue is political. By carrying out crimes in public view he confuses the electorate and today is proof of his maniacal mind and CALCULATED influence.

Interestingly enough, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is aware of these acts by Trump and is fully aware of the influence this confusion carries out on the electorate. To go forward with very appropriate measures to impeach will result in adverse opinions of the Democrats of the US House. This is why Congresspersons need to return to their districts and hold town hall meetings and push back on the effects of Trump's disruption of the people in understanding that crime is wrong.

...no principle of law excludes public acts from the reach of the obstruction laws.

This is probably the most important statement in the Executive Summary of Volume II of the Special Counsel's report. The Special Counsel validated that even though the public act of crimes is a strange occurrence, the fact they have happened does not preclude them from being crimes.

Donald J. Trump is a criminal. He publically encouraged thinking he would provide pardons to his comrades and helpers and fixers that committed crimes with him, but, are not immune as he is because of one and only one reason, the DOJ has a rule that must be challenged in court. Donald J. Trump is a criminal and currently ABOVE THE LAW.

If the likely effect of public acts is to influence witnesses or alter their testimony, the harm to the justice system's integrity is the same.

Donald J. Trump ACTIVELY assaults the rule of law. There is no doubt he wants the US House to impeach. It serves his maniacal purpose.

I DO BELIEVE TRUMP IS MANIACAL. 

It would be political suicide to launch into impeachment without the knowledge, understanding and consent of the Amerian people. The people believe in their democracy and they need to be aware of the problems, understand the profound severity of obstruction in relation to the rule of law and what the rule of law means to the American democracy.

When looking across the timeline that is Trump's life he has always been maniacal. He has left financial carnage for every dollar he claims to have earned. This is not a man to be trusted in any way.

It is wrong to not impeach, but, it is a greater harm to impeach and not have the country understand and consent. I think Congress is on the right track to educate their constituents and bring them along on this journey. I would think law students could help with political campaigns to educate the people to the ills within this presidency.

THE US HOUSE MUST NOT DO MORE HARM TO THE USA ELECTORATE.

The Rule of Law must prevail and that is paramount to protecting our democracy.

Although the series of events we investigated involved discrete acts,...

The Special Counsel has accounted for acts by the president that are factual and realized. He goes on to state there is an overall pattern of conduct that drew the attention of the Special Counsel.

the overall pattern of the President's conduct towards the investigations can shed light on the nature of the President's acts and the inferences that can be drawn about his intent. In particular, the actions we investigated can be divided into two phases, reflecting a possible shift in the President's motives. The first phase covered the period from the President's first interactions with Corney through the President's firing of Corney. During that time, the President had been repeatedly told he was not personally under investigation. Soon after the firing of Corney and the appointment of the Special Counsel, however, the President became aware that his own conduct was being investigated in an obstruction-of-justice inquiry....

Up to the point and I think this is very important, when Trump began obstructing justice he was not at all under investigation.

GOT THAT.

Trump, for his own reasons, began obstructing justice. I think this entire "Pledge of Loyalty" statements by Trump carry a great deal of weight with him. Where he has no pledge of loyalty, he is paranoid about others and begins to defend from it carrying out obstruction in every way possible.

In that, Trump broke his oath of office. He cannot be demanding pledges of loyalty when he himself pledged to the office of the USA presidency. There is a specific pledge he made and it was to the country and not his own ideas of loyalty.

"The Oath of Office: 35 Words that are Harder than the Look" (ciick here)

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

"Best of my abilities" is not an excuse to depart from the oath of office. He would not and still today does not honor the fact there are laws in the USA that are to be adhered to, including providing whatever evidence the branches of government demand of the Executive Branch. There is absolutely no provision anywhere in the rule of law that states a president can derail his oath of office to embark on demanding others take an additional pledge to him.

Any pledge federal officials, elected or otherwise, take is to the country and not a maniacal man engaged in his own priorities within the powers of the USA.

Trump is a criminal that seeks to criminalize others.

At that point, the President engaged in a second phase of conduct, involving public attacks on the inve~tigation, non-public efforts to control it, and efforts in both public and private to encourage witnesses not to cooperate with the investigation. Judgments about the nature of the President's motives during each phase would be informed by the totality of the evidence.

The investigation into Donald J. Trump's obstruction of justice is based in far more than one or two acts. The EVIDENCE of his crimes is based on multiple and repeated acts of criminality in public view.

By attacking the very AGENCY of law enforcement by attacking the personnel it brings incredible injustice to the Rule of Law. The very people that enforce the law at the highest levels of justice were to be dismantled and ridiculed beginning with the then Director of the FBI, James Comey. The people involved in Trump's raid on the US Justice Department continued and involved the highest level of the Department. When firing James Comey didn't work to end the investigation into the invasion of Russia into the USA elections of 2016, Trump continued to demonize and fire highly qualified and long-established officials of the FBI.

Today, that same ranting public behavior continues BECAUSE IT WORKS IN HIS FAVOR, not in the favor of the USA.

Trump is amoral and only abides by behaviors that benefit him regardless of the best interests of the country. If a war with Iran will provide the political uptick he is looking for he will do it regardless of the truth or the best interests of the country.

While in Great Britain he attacked yet another major company in the USA, AT&T. He fully expects those words to matter and cause harm to AT&T. That is the second company to be adversely effected by Trump, the first being GM with his draconian tariff structure regarding Mexico.

Trump continues to build instability in the USA and global economy and he continues to build danger within the stability and any potential peace within the international community.

STATUTORY AND CONSTITUTIONAL DEFENSES

The President's counsel (his lawyers, including Guiliani) raised statutory and constitutional defenses to a possible obstruction-of-justice analysis (abuse of power) of the conduct we investigated. We concluded that none of those legal defenses provided a basis for declining to investigate the facts.

The Special Counsel, in consideration of the president's lawyers, attempt to end the investigation carried any merit and the investigation continued.

Japanese MAGLEV Experience - The FASTEST Train in the WORLD at 500km+ pe...

No emissions. It is the most sophisticated method of transportation in the world.

Any idea how many employees work because of the trains of Japan? A lot. They are highly skilled and demand perfection in their work. 

This is a high speed magnetic train. The high speed is a by-product of the magnetic rail it travels on. I think Elon Musk is working on a pneumatic system. It could work.

Americans forgot how to reach for the highest ambitions and make it happen. This does not require an enormous investment that isn't already expected. I am not talking about corporate money. There are a lot of American dollars ALREADY APPROPRIATED every year for energy and transportation. It is about getting rid of the old and bringing on the new.

Example:

Power plants last about 30 years. The conventional power plants. That means the monies needed for the public's best interest is going to be available every year AND the states will be planning for these expenses AND the board of trustees of public utilities already know when INFRASTRUCTURE is becoming obsolete.

When infrastructure monies are spent on conventional methods of energy that investment is planned for 30 years, which means modernization won't happen for 30 FLYIN' YEARS!

STOP IT!

The AMBITIONS of the American people REQUIRE a new direction for investments that will change the face of energy AND remove HARMFUL greenhouse gases from the troposphere.

This can be done. This needs to be done. It needs to be done NOW!

ANYONE stating it will happen in 2050 is not using current scientific knowledge, is insensitive to the losses of Americans every year, month after month and they sure don't care about how many deaths occur because the troposphere is TOO HOT!

The money is there, the plans for that money has to change and America has to stop propagating it's own problems!

The food supply for the USA is going to be lost. This year in the Midwest spells what the future will look like. It is not the problem of the US Army Corp of Engineers, ie: New Orleans and it's category 3 hurricanes. The US Army Corp wanted to plan for THE BIG ONE. It didn't happen because politicians in Washington, DC had OTHER PLANS FOR THE MONEY. Don't talk to me about the US Army Corp. They do what they can with what they are provided. It is time they and all the other agencies working within the Climate Crisis paradigm are properly funded AND LISTENED to.

The Bay of Thailand is dead. The only majority species is squid. No other fish has survived the onslaught of the squid because their reproduction outpaces every other species. Why? Because squid will reproduce according to the temperature of the water. The warmer the water the more squid. At least the people of Thailand have squid. The American Midwest may be a place of commercial fishing if the pollution in the water comes under control.

This is not a joke. This is the Climate Crisis and the world needs to be transformed by MONIES ALREADY AVAILABLE by the year 2030.

SC Maglev, (click title above - thank you) or superconducting magnetic trains, were developed by the Central Japan Railway Company and the Railway Technical Research Institute beginning in the 1970s. Maglev trains work on the principle of magnetic repulsion between the cars and the track. The word maglev is actually a combination of the words “magnetic” and “levitation.” The magnetic levitation, or floating of the train, is achieved through the use of an electrodynamic suspension system, or EDS.

California and Jerry Brown are correct.

Zero emissions is obtainable.

Get it right!

The United States of America has laws regarding air quality, water quality, protections for national forests, national parks and endangered species. We are a country of laws. We have agencies ALREADY in place that know what the Climate Crisis is, report on it regularly and are eager to end the suffering of Americans because of it.

THIS IS NOT NEW!

American scientists were among the very first to carry the warning and helped the American people develop "Earth Day."

Get over the idea this is something new, it is not. The problem is that the USA has never risen to the demand for change required to end this crisis and reverse the effects of severe and growing threats of climate.

The Climate Crisis is not about money.

The Climate Crisis is about policy.

The money is for disaster relief.

The policy takes care of itself.

Climate 2050 is too late.

I do not care who is saying it, it is wrong. There is no scientific evidence to support Climate Crisis measures in 2050.

The Climate Crisis demands all measures be established by 2030. That is ten years, six months and 27 days away.

2030 is the year all scientists agree on and it is supported by scientific fact.

The Midwest of the USA is underwater. 

California fires has seen a fire tornado 3 miles high. A California community is gone because of a wildfire.

The number of tornadoes in May was doubled the USA record.

An island off Puerto Rico is gone because of the enormous Climate Crisis hurricanes.

If anyone running for President of the USA wants to kick the can down the road beyond 2030, they need not run for the office.

I think we need reopen the Iran-Contra Affair to recapture THE TRUTH in the history of the USA.

Barr has never been detached from the Oval Office in any of his positions of power. The Attorney General's cabinet position has that "air" about it. The cabinet seat of the AG is supposed to be objective. But, in realizing the preconceived image acts as a shield for corruption to hide behind, it can't go unrecorded.

Barr changed history in the Iran-Contra criminal dealings. This is NOT about Weinberger's pardon, it is about the history of the USA and in this case, the abuse of power. It needs to be set straight and that level of "history steering" should never be tolerated again or NOW.

Bill Barr needs to be held responsible for his actions and let history record the level of corruption he was and is willing to carry out. It should be a stark example of what can happen and never should.

Why is it Robert S. Mueller was never Attorney General? Not asked? Why?

April 17, 2019
By Greg Walters

Washington - Weeks before (click here) former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger’s criminal trial over his role in the 1980’s Iran-Contra scandal, then-Attorney General William Barr dropped a bomb on the prosecution.

“People in the Iran-Contra affair have been treated very unfairly,” Barr told USA Today in December 1992, blasting the charges as illegitimate. “People in this Iran-Contra matter have been prosecuted for the kind of conduct that would not have been considered criminal or prosecutable by the Justice Department.”...''

The people in the Iran-Contra affair was not treated unfairly, the people of the USA was treated unfairly and cheated out of the truth and justice.

It is important the history is correct and the corruption evident all the way to the AG's office.

Barr is under the impression the Executive Branch of the USA is a free for all, so long as it can be sold to the people. I don't think so.

The US House Intelligence Committee needs to find out why George Nader was arrested a second time.

I find it odd that while the Middle East is a focus of Trump's war secretary and Bill Barr is allowing a parallel story to be constructed regarding a Deep State, this arrest takes place.

Additionally, things are not going well for Benjamin Netanyahu. He has been unable to form a government due to his insistence of having all religious students in Israel serve in the defense forces. These students have never been required to enter the Israeli military before now. There are also multiple investigations occurring.(click here) that the Prime Minister is supposed to appoint qualified persons in order to carry them out. But, the Prime Minister is dragging his feet hoping other matters will occupy the country and all the investigations will go away.

There are a lot of questions that need to be answered regarding this arrest and unfortunately, oversight falls to the US House once again. The arrest is relevant to the current House investigations. Barr is in contempt of Congress and this is a very curious arrest.

15 March 2018

Washington - It was a few days (click here) before the one-year anniversary of US  President Donald Trump’s inauguration and a Lebanese-American businessman was on his way to Mar-a-Lago.

George Nader, an international fixer whose long history included intrepid back-channel mediation between Israel and Arab countries — and a 15-year-old pedophilia conviction in Europe that has not been previously reported — was transiting through Dulles International Airport outside Washington.

It was hardly his first far-flung journey to see top aides of the world’s most powerful leader, as Nader had met the US president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and chief strategist Steve Bannon in the days before they stormed the White House.

But he encountered an altogether different scene awaiting him at the airport.

There, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators stopped Nader, people familiar with the case said. His electronics were seized and he was then allowed to go to his lawyer. Nader later agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation, said the people with knowledge of the case as it pertains to Nader. They weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the case and demanded anonymity....

The US House needs to do more than pass bills to deal with disasters.

The US House should let the country know if it weren't for a Democratic majority the bill still would not have passed. But, the US House has to include initiatives to deal with the climate crisis whenever it passes a disaster bill. 

Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change (click here)

Jurisdiction includes the Clean Air Act and air emissions; all matters related to soil, air, and water contamination, including Superfund and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the regulation of solid, hazardous, and nuclear wastes, including mining, nuclear, oil, gas, and coal combustion waste; emergency environmental response; industrial plant security, including cybersecurity; the regulation of drinking water (Safe Drinking Water Act), including underground injection of fluids (e.g., deep well injection or hydrofracking); toxic substances (Toxic Substances Control Act); noise; and all aspects of the above-referenced jurisdiction related to the Department of Homeland Security.

That description is great, however, it does not go far enough. The Subcommittee has to develop a national policy to be included in these disaster relief bills that actively evaluates the causes of the disaster and the means to end them from occurring again. There has to be a national overlay to any government spending that demands climate assessments and actions that resolve the problem of the Climate Crisis in rehabilitating the USA following the disasters.

If the assessments are included in the bill, the solutions at the grassroots will follow.

June 3, 2019

The House has approved a $19.1 billion disaster (click here) aid package despite earlier objections from Republicans.

The legislation was approved 354-58. All those who opposed it were Republicans. The Senate already passed the bill overwhelmingly and it heads to the president's desk for his signature.

President Trump has said he backed the measure, even though it did not include border money he urged Congress to add. He said he would continue pressing for that as part of separate legislation.

With Trump's signature, the legislation would help speed relief funds to communities hit by tornadoes, wildfires, volcanoes, drought, flooding and other disasters. It also includes money for Puerto Rico, which is still rebuilding after 2017 hurricanes devastated significant portions of the island....

Child protection legislation in the UAE is relatively new to the Kingdom since President Obama took office.

It is easily noted that these laws came into effect and not just a draft while the Former First Lady, Former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in service to the USA.

In 2008 a federal child protection law was drafted, (click here) but never enacted; this will serve as the framework for a new child protection system. Currently Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai is rushing to draft and pass a federal child protection law as a result of a case that shocked the nation. It was recently reported that a father is suspected of killing his 8 year old daughter and torturing her younger sister. The Sheikh visited the younger daughter in the hospital, realizing this situation highlighted the current law’s inadequacies. The new child protection law will be tailored to children instead of the current general penalty code, under which killing a child is no different than killing an adult. A second proposal is also currently being drafted, which seeks to cover child pornography and criminal penalties for the mistreatment of children. The federal law could seek to merge both proposals....

We know the Child Protection Laws of the UAE are in effect because people are being arrested and serving jail time. The penalties are not what they are in the USA, but, these laws do exist.

A man who was caught with hundreds of child pornographic films (click here) on his computer devices, and was also distributing the illegal material to small children, has been given six months in jail.

Abu Dhabi Appeal Court has upheld an earlier ruling by the Criminal Court of First Instance that handed down the sentence to the man from Philippines after he was found guilty of possessing child pornography and distributing it among children.

The court has also fined him Dh50,000.

Official court documents stated that the man in his 30s had downloaded the indecent and illegal content from pornography websites.

After downloading the porn films using proxy software, the man allegedly sent them out to mobile phones of children aged aged below 11 and to some adults....

George Nador is not insane, he is a pervert. One of Trump's perverts.

I want to know if George Nader was ever at the Teen Miss USA pageant to tour the dressing rooms with Trump.

Probably one of the most decent things Nader did was to testify to the Special Counsel. A child porn addict is capable of testimony. This strange obsession with child porn is a sexual obsession issue, not a cognitive one.

This arrest just proves one more time that the affiliates of Donald Trump are not mainstream folks, ask Mar-a-Lago. If only the staff could talk. Maybe subpoena them as to how many Chinese spies frequent the place.

The arrest of George Nader makes the illegal pursuit of prostitutes by Robert Kraft look like something grown-ups do.

Figures associated with President Trump (click here) have been charged with everything from lying to the government to violating federal campaign finance law to just about every financial crime imaginable. Add trafficking child pornography to the list.

George Nader, a Middle East fixer who advised the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates and whose connections to Trump drew the attention of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, was apprehended on Monday and indicted on federal child pornography charges. According to federal prosecutors, he was arrested upon landing at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York and charged with “transporting visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct....

Trump arrives in UK and attends welcome ceremony - live

"Morning Papers"

The Rooster

"Okeydoke"

The people of the USA provide a great jet along with a couple of helicopters and all the needed and highly qualified staff to facilitate a trip to a trusted ally, the United Kingdom.

What do we get in return?

Trump called the Duchess of Sussex, a new mother with a beautiful baby boy, nasty. He did this all on hearsay. REGARDLESS, if it is hearsay or not there is absolutely no reason to aim lousy remarks at this wonderful lady.

We get the London Mayor nearly declaring war on Trump and rightfully so.

Praising the “very fine people on both sides” (click here) when torch-wielding white supremacists and antisemites marched through the streets clashing with anti-racist campaigners. Threatening to veto a ban on the use of rape as a weapon of war. Setting an immigration policy that forcefully separates young children from their parents at the border. The deliberate use of xenophobia, racism and “otherness” as an electoral tactic. Introducing a travel ban to a number of predominately Muslim countries. Lying deliberately and repeatedly to the public....

Here again, rather than rising to the occasion to make lemonade out of lemons rather than resorting to 3rd grade intellect, Trump says of the Mayor, "He is a "stone cold loser," "very dumb and incompetent," and short."

SHORT? OMG. I'd say Trump wants to take the London Mayor into the back alley, but, I already know Trump is too chicken to show.

He is not welcome in the UK. His itinerary is more that of a tourist.

l.  Lunch with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry.
2. Lay a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior
3. Tour the World Heritage site
4. Have tea with Prince Charles and Camilla at their residence at Clarence              House
5. Attend a state banquet at Buckingham Palace
6. Meet with the Prime Minister Theresa May

The Brits seem to have accomplished something few others do, silence the mouth and minimize social trauma. That is what the President of the USA has come to, a trauma riddled mouth that seeks to destroy the social fabric of most if not all civilized nations.
