Omarosa Manigault Newman (click here) is good at secretly recording conversations with her employers. She’s a savvy operator who knows how to create a media splash and can trade insults with the best of them — including the president of the Untied States. But, for me, regardless of how I may feel about her reality TV antics, there’s something relatable in her increasingly contentious battle with the White House....
Now, there is Rod Rosenstein recording the craziest president the USA ever had. Amazing. How can all these people feel so threatened by Trump that they fall back on recording his words and deeds?
Wait, let me guess; hmmmm? Could it be because he is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR? I betcha that is it!
When he retires (click here) in January, Ryan will give up his $223,500 salary as speaker of the house, which is $49,500 more than U.S. congressmen who do not hold leadership positions make. But according to celebritynetworth.com, Ryan is already worth $7.8 million.
...As a candidate, (click here) he’s spent $47.6 million since 1997 and pulled in even more, raising nearly $58.1 million. A large chunk of that money — $19.8 million to be exact — came rolling in the 2016 election.
Coming from a state known as a hub for outside spending, a large portion of Ryan’s funds have come from individual donations. Over the course of his career, he’s received $23.7 million in individual contributions. In 2017, Ryan raised $563,412 from small donations — the seventh highest among House candidates....
The McConnell household is not much different. They are pulling in a cabinet level salary for his wife and the salary of the Senate Majority leader. When are we going to set term limits? Maybe we would get something done if there were term limits rather than allowing the USA's elected officials the opportunity to amass huge wealth and turn their backs on the people.
Did you know that 50% of Millennials are college educated? They are. I am certain they know enough about the government that abandoned them in "Occupy Wall Street" to know what is best for the USA economy. As far as foreign policy; I am confident enough of them have great educations and experiences from abroad to man the battle stations of the State Department.
We need to have our younger generations involved. The Climate Crisis is spinning out of control far to fast to ignore the hopes they have for their lives. It is time for a major changing of the guard.

Washington — The deputy attorney general, (click here) Rod J. Rosenstein, suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House to expose the chaos consuming the administration, and he discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit.
Mr. Rosenstein made these suggestions in the spring of 2017 when Mr. Trump’s firing of James B. Comey as F.B.I. director plunged the White House into turmoil. Over the ensuing days, the president divulged classified intelligence to Russians in the Oval Office, and revelations emerged that Mr. Trump had asked Mr. Comey to pledge loyalty and end an investigation into a senior aide.
Mr. Rosenstein was just two weeks into his job. He had begun overseeing the Russia investigation and played a key role in the president’s dismissal of Mr. Comey by writing a memo critical of his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. But Mr. Rosenstein was caught off guard when Mr. Trump cited the memo in the firing, and he began telling people that he feared he had been used.
Mr. Rosenstein made the remarks about secretly recording Mr. Trump and about the 25th Amendment in meetings and conversations with other Justice Department and F.B.I. officials. Several people described the episodes, insisting on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The people were briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by F.B.I. officials, including Andrew G. McCabe, then the acting bureau director, that documented Mr. Rosenstein’s actions and comments....
