Flint - Hundreds of Flint residents (click here) may receive lead inspections, assessments or help to address lead risks in their homes through a $2.2 million federal grant.
The Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction grant reduces residents’ exposure to lead from sources other than water, such as paint in homes built before 1978. City Council moved the resolution accepting the $2.2 million to its Monday, July 22, special affairs meeting....

It all makes sense.
Within the last couple of weeks; I don't remember the exact day; there was a report about covert tanks breaking sanction rules and smuggling oil out of Iran. Supposedly, the tankers were "going dark" as they approached the ports where they were being loaded with oil and would resume their standard running lights after they left the port full of oil.
Such a report means that "Iran got caught." Now, to CYA it's Iranian butt the Revolutionary Guard is claiming to capture oil tankers that are in violation of sanctions. It is political. The crew should be returned to their home and the Iranians should offload the oil back into it's oil storage facility. The real sticky issue is the owner of the tanker and answering the charges of smuggling oil. The crew is innocent and simply doing their job for the owner of the tanker.
This one incident will probably stop significant ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. It will also curtail the sale of oil from Iran. Count on a hike at the gas pump.
All parties involved need to be meeting right now at the United Nations with the Security Council.

Iran says that its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (click here) has seized a foreign-flagged oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, alleging that the ship was smuggling 1 million liters (264,000 gallons) of fuel. Iranian state news outlets report that the ship had a crew of 12 aboard.
The vessel was seized south of Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the state-run IRNA news agency. The island sits less than 20 miles off the Iranian mainland, south of the city of Bandar Abba.
Iran's military, as quoted by the semiofficial Fars news outlet, said in a statement Thursday that the tanker was on its way "to deliver the smuggled fuel received from the Iranian dhows to foreign ships in farther areas but it failed thanks to the IRGC Naval forces' vigilance."
The military says the vessel has a cargo capacity of 2 million liters — making it a small vessel when compared with supertankers that can carry 2 million barrels of oil.

Who were the Senior Lawmakers that spoke to Pence about their discomfort with the chant?
...Republicans (click here) by and large stood by him, casting his criticism as of the lawmakers' far-left policies and not based on their ethnicity or religion....
This is more the practice of the Republicans; they white wash the hate Trump spews.

Bill Barr, under the orders of Donald J.Trump, is in the middle of the investigations of the Southern District of New York.
I don't accept any other assessment.
Civil lawsuits can be filed against both these men. Trump has violated civil rights of at least four Congresswomen, there are Trump cabinet officers before the US House for Contempt of Congress. The trend with this administration is more and more of an exposure to anti-American PRIORITIES it holds.
Russia is very involved with Trump. The irrefutable evidence may lie with the mountain of documents of the Special Counsel investigation.
I believe with Bill Barr abandoning the criminal charges against 20 Russian agents and there is contempt of Congress, he can be impeached. The problem is the Republican majority in the US Senate and a Majority leader just as corrupt as Trump and Barr.
Michael Cohen stated clearly that Donald J. Trump was authorizing the expenditure of Hush Money. I don't know any attorney that would carry out such activities without the explicit permission of the client to do so. Additionally, Stephanie Clifford's life and her daughter's life was threatened because of her affair with Trump.
There are many women already stating they have been sexually assaulted by Trump. Their silence for decades is directly related to their professions which would have been hurt by any complaint filed at the time it occurred. The secretive reality of these women is across the spectrum of all their lives. It is consistent from one to another. That was premeditated by Trump because he knew there would be silence to his crimes.
Trump is not loyal to the United States of America. He values only the power and not the country itself.
