The reason the Underserved American continues to vote for the Republican Tea Party are innately fears of big government and the idea a real tea party can rise again. They believe their guns are going to keep them safe. To some extent the Russian spy seeking power in becoming a NRA lobbyist was also poisoning the well in that those guns would never be taken from them because even Russians recognize the need to defend against government AND that is what is missing in countries like Russia.
Many of these Americans are Red State voters. They may or may not have a high school education and some are caught up in the idea education does people no good because they attended advanced education schools that took their loan money and never provided an education that served them well. While President Obama changed the law to protect them and litigated against them the people may still be burdened.
The multiple jobs they have are always tenuous in Red States. North Carolina employers can fire you for having the wrong color eyed and it upheld. The state unemployment is something like 12 weeks now. One of the brochures handed to the unemployed is Uber facts and where on the net to sign up. North Carolina and most if not all Red States don’t care about people. They care about money.
The State of Texas’s flag should have an oil barrel in the middle of the single star because it is the only economy it can manage, Oklahoma has chronic earthquakes and regardless oil and natural gas and fracking lives on to provide the largest tax income to the state. Look at the deaths and ill health in the petroleum industry. Why?
The Red State politician offers no alternatives. The petroleum industry pays the best, so does coal. When those product demands fell and continue to fall in the USA as a measure the Republican leadership didn’t take it in the chin as a win against GHG pollution they passed legislation to export it. They don’t care about the people to even instill a sense of well being. The Red State politician offer investment in cancer research and liver transplant protocols so people can continue to to support what is left of the tobacco lobby and drunkenness.
Texas doesn’t try to change it’s immorally. It doesn’t care. It has a handicapped Governor as example of compassion and morality AND the best part is the Americans with Disabilities Act to prove there is a way to return to work no matter the problems.
Louisiana after the BP Deepwater Horizon had oil all over it’s beaches and into its wetlands and streams. There were children playing in the mess. Twenty years the incidence in cancer will tick up. The federal government has to maintain the Medicare and Medicaid into that state to maintain health care for the generations of children effected. As a country we can’t turn our backs on them because their culture of innocence and godliness is exploited by their government.
There is nothing godly about Red State governments. The TONE of religion suits them. Sacrifice and hard work will get them into heaven. The reason there are disaffected Americans is because their wealth has been removed from them and what they get in return is suffering for being the fool to the politicians that demand to do more with less.
Republican tax cuts forces more suffering on the Middle Class in years to come because there are more of them so the US Treasury will receive more from tax deductions. Go ahead, explain to them they have been robbed of their wealth. Go ahead, see what comes out of THE FACTS/THE TRUTH. Oh, yeah, the rhetoric on Fox is there more tax cuts coming for the Middle Class authored by a retired former US Senator Coburn. Sure, it is a great punch line leading into November.
The USA takes care of its own while the Trump tax cuts registered a trillion in deficit spending today from the beginning of the year. How long can the USA take care of it’s own?

Devin ”The Devil” (666) Nunes is campaigning on Fox News that the FBI wants the Democrats to win. You know the reason Democrats will win is because Fox News puts Republicans like Numes on the air screaming the sky is falling. How often can Nunes scream the sky is falling and be taken seriously. He certainly is carrying “The Don’s” message stating the FBI is doing great work.
I didn’t watch “Hannity” last night because when I am looking for facts in the news on cable it is either local, MSNBC or CNN. But, it had to be laughable on Hammity he is dressed with expressions like “The Godfather” and one of the blonds, I think it is Ingram, is dressed to match his persona. It really is Fake News.
Dear God the Curvy Couch consents to foreign governments hacking Democratic political structures. Huckabee thinks with all the investigations on the left (which one is that because the Democrats haven’t been able to get theirs to the hearing rooms) there will be a huge Republican backlash. Well, Huckabee doesn’t know what is going on either, he has been spending too much time with the President.
There is a reason Fox doesn’t get my loyalty and it is the idiocy they allow as content of the programming. There was one decent observation by the lady with the tight dress in the middle of the two men said the missing two hour visit with Putin could cause problems for the elections. I suppose that is true if the Democrats are able to get an interviewer with the translator.
Trump is a really lousy President that continually compromises the USA. The EU is now contracting with Japan for goods it has to pay tariffs on. I am happy for Japan and that trade should have existed long before Trump “the buffoon” took the White House with assistance of Russians. Japan’s economy can use some strength and I hope all goes well for the EU and Japan.

The Russian hacking of the 2016 elections was known by US national Intelligence since January 6th, shortly after New Years, 2017. I remember news reports stating that because of the investigation into the DNC hacking. Yet, today July 18, 2018 the American people need to be reminded of that fact.
There is some really sad propaganda that comes out of Fox News on a regular basis. One of the blurred lines about that is the idea Trump would still be president if the Russian hackers were not at work, They hold tightly to the fact there were no votes changed in any of the states without cyber -security such Illinois.
That is true, HOWEVER, Fox News conveniently forgets about the Facebook Factor. See, the issue with Comey as the frosting on the cake would not have had the same impact if all the lies and deceptions and false news of Facebook hadn’t done all that initial work, That initial work was by the Russians. So it is not just the vote count that mattered even after security breaches, it was the momentum of all the false stories that took a toll on the Clinton campaign.
In my opinion, the wrong person is in the Oval Office and Trump knows. If it weren’t for the entirety of the Russian meddling the Clinton victory would have been admirable. No one will change my mind.
The fact Donald Trump is operating way outside standard protocols and simple decency and patriotic loyalty to the USA, is all him. He has no one else to blame. Russia has something on him and it was his own doing. Unfortunately for the country, it is being lead by a man unable and unwilling to govern and only now when treason is showing through with threats to ambassadors do people realize how dangerous he is.
The Mueller Investigation has to reach completion.
The Mueller Investigation has to reach completion.
I am looking forward to Mitt Romney in the US Senate. His mannerisms can be comical sometimes but he has moral center. He will an asset to the Senate and we already know he steps up to tackle difficult circumstances for the country without a second thought. I look forward to his leadership for all the right reasons.
I just home his policy positions are more like the Romney of Massachusetts rather than the presidential nominee nutcase.

Trump is a slippery slope.
If Trump starts disregarding Americans as important, ambassadors are important, there is no end to it. First it’s ambassadors and businessmen, next statesmen and opponents and then simply people that are displeasing. It is not prudent to forget parentless children and childless parents. It is imprudent to forget internment camps that is still unknown to be safe with plenty of food and water. Capture and Release is a real answer to insure human life at the southern border yet Fox News forgets the capture part and inflames dialogue by saying it is an open border policy.
So this entire idea of allowing human beings of any status to be used as bargaining chips in a game decided in two hours behind closed doors between Putin and Trump is unthinkable, but, Trump does the unthinkable. He obviously does the unthinkable otherwise we would not be witnessing babies with blank looks on their faces when returned to their mothers.

Trump is selling Americans to satisfy Putin.
Mr. Browder acted nobly in passing the Magnitsky Act (Public Law 112-208) (Originally the Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal Act of 2012 HR. 6156). It is outrageous and treasonous to hand Americans to the Russian government for interrogation.
Russia does not allow extradition of their citizens and his agents kill people in the U.K. at will. There will be absolutely not one American handed to Russia for interrogation on US soil or otherwise.
The Trump Administration is allowing Russia to deconstruct USA laws. The Magnitsky Act is LAW in this country and no dam Russian is going to harass Americans for their own purpose. To allow American law to be deconstructed by foreign agents is treason. End of discussion.
If Vladimir Putin wants to talk to Mr. Browden, he will have to ask Browden himself and he’ll have to ask nicely. I think most everyone in the world already knows the answer.
Trump is creating a slippery slope by allowing Russia to interrogate Americans. It won’t be tolerated. By allowing citizens to become insecure in their own citizenship is treason. Law enforcement in the USA are ONLY allowed to question Americans and only after the American understand their rights to due process. Russia will NEVER conduct interrogations of Americans.
At this point the USA Executive Branch should start to consider sending Russian diplomats back to Russia for the potential threat they are to Americans.

The tough and dangerous work is being conducted by the Border Patrol.
July 13 of 2018 the HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) El Paso Border Patrol arrested 18 alien smugglers, 117 illegal border crossers. THE BORDER PATROL seized cash, vehicles and drugs.
Before “ICE” was created after 911, it was always the Border Patrol and it still is today.
It is wrong of the Republican House membership to single out ICE for recognition. The Border Patrol takes on all the same dangers as ICE.
In not recognizing all the other law enforcement along any US border, the Republican legislation is nothing more than using taxpayer money and power of the government to play politics. It needs to stop. We are in a cyber war with Russia while they misbehave with allies and the House Republicans are playing political games with the Legislative floor. It is sickening.
The Mueller Investigation has found concert evidence of Russian cyber invasion into the elections of 2018 and the only thing the Republicans can think to do is take a divisive vote about singling pit ICE for recognition. It is disgusting!
Do Republicans actually care about this country or simply use it for their own purposes like Trump does?
Dan Coates knows for a fact the Russians are tampering with the 2018 elections and it has nothing to do with the southern border, DO SOMETHING!

Trump was hard on Russia. Russia runs the USA embassy in Russia.
Trump commits human rights violations at the USA southern border while Trimp welcomes Russia women into the USA to birth their babies.
Trump says Russia is no longer targeting the USA. PROOF.
Mr. Coates says otherwise. He states the Russians are still carrying out a cyber war and not just elections. He included nuclear power plants.
Trump is lying to suit his own image and doesn’t care about the country.

She was never a harmless grad student
Maria Butina won’t be leaving for Russia anytime soon. What does she know that Russian intelligence would interested in? She was getting ready to move a large amount of cash outside of the USA.
It seems to me her attorney has no real defense for her. She has cash, the sympathies of the Russians offering her removal from the USA to Russia, she has no real ties to the USA (no family, no anticipated wedding) and only official Russian intelligence in the USA as friends.
She was using the promise of sex to top leadership of the corporations she sought to be a lobbyist. She was seeking an affiliation with the NRA to lobby with Congress. She wanted relationships with Congressional members as a lobbyist. She knew exactly what she was doing. She knows how money is corrupting our politics. She wanted the power of the NRA to influence Congress with plenty of money as a lobbyist. WOW. This is a prime example of the corrupting influence of money in USA politics. It is a very dangerous corruption. It is a corruption that assaults the USA national security.
She was very confident in her power. She was circulating among powerful Republican organizations to prove she was one of them. This level of success by a Russian operative cannot be ignored. She was successful and looking for more success as a lobbyist. She was accumulating plenty of money and she would in time seek out Democratic infiltration for her own purposes.
Russia was definitely gaining control. Russia hacked the Democrats to disadvantage them while infiltrating the Republicans to the highest office in the land.
Money. It was the leverage that worked. We don’t know how much money Trump is into Russia for, but, it is obvious the Russians wanted control of the USA government through the Republican Party. The petroleum party.
I don’t feel comfortable with this reality at all. The country is losing control of its government and money is all part of it.
I want a “Maria Butina Law” that controls campaign financing and returns the government to the people. Real return to the people, not a populous political rant that changes as soon as the election is over.

Pretty shoes.
Talking about stiffs, Democratic women Senators and US House members wear boring shoes. There is a trend, coming out of the US South, that places tasteful decorations on heels and otherwise on shoes. Think about it.
Rosenstein needs some classes on professional interpersonal relationships.
The talk about impeaching Rod Rosenstein is Congressional over reach and I believe Speaker Ryan is correct in placing any concerns about the work environment into perspective. I also find this latest outrageous movement by the political right wing mentored by Fox News very alarming considering a very unqualified assistant attorney general Brian Benczkowski was placed at the DOJ. There is too much questionable behavior by this administration including the placement of Brian Benczkowski. The USA is not going to kiss Putin’s ass as Trump does.
There is reporting by David Isakoff (spelling) that one of the first acts by Trump as president was to remove any leans or restrictions on property and homes owned by the country of Russia in the USA. Those properties were part of the USA efforts to end spying by Russia within the USA. If my
memory serves me right all those properties were acted upon by President Obama after spies were returned to Russia. By returning those properties to Russia Trump has recreated the danger and opportunity for Russia to return to it’s old activities and what seems like an open door policy to any Russian including one now on indictment.
This is the way I see it. The Republicans want to impeach Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to replace him with “Russian Alpha Bank” Executive Brian Benczkowski so Trump has control over the Mueller investigation.
Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has not done anything wrong to deserve impeachment. He has been demanding in asking for complete reports from department employees. That is Rosenstein’s job. He does it well. However he can be demanding in ways that sours the attitude of coworkers. Rod Rosenstein needs to do better and if he convened a staff meeting and there was dialogue with his staff and coworkers I am confident there would be suggestions and comments to improve the work environment at the DOJ.
This is a difficult time for the Justice Department and the USA, but, the employees of the DOJ are doing vital work the country is counting on. I thank Assistant AG Rosenstein for obvious dedication to the country and his exemplary ethical standards. His work ethic services him well, but, he can a bit of a stiff. I wish the department well in protecting the country, believe me, we are all counting on it.

Putin needs to stop harassing Western Europe and the Black Sea and the Baltics. NATO is not going anywhere and it’s newest members are wonderful. Russia revealed itself as a very hostile country. That reality cannot be ignored. NATO countries do not want to live under Russian oppression and is more than evident today. Taking Trump as a POW won’t effect the USA’s commitment to freedom and countries that seek it. Quite frankly, Russia can keep Trump in Moscow and the USA would be all the happier. Trump and his administration are security risks.
Tuesday, July 17, 2018
Retired General Barry McCaffery has stated President Trump has seriously eroded the deterrents of Russian aggression in Europe. The Baltics and Poland are under active military threat by Russia. He also states Russian generals have been threatening Western Europe with nuclear weapons. Russian aircraft have been making hostile attacks on US naval vessels in the Black Sea and the Baltics. There were Russian mercenaries (supposedly deniability by Russia) in Syria that targeted USA troops. Those 200 Russians aren’t alive anymore.
The point is President Trump is embracing an actively hostile country, namely Russia, while calling NATO allies foes. There is a lot wrong with the Trump presidency in regard to Russia, NATO and USA national security. He is building walls and committing human rights abuses at the USA southern border while spurning NATO. Nothing is in balance. What don’t we know?

Illinois State Board of Elections was hacked by Russians in the 2016 presidential elections.
The Illinois legislature passed a bill to remove Illinois from the controversial multi-state voter registration system. Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner vetoed the bill that would have secured Illinois from any danger by Russian hackers or other hackers as well.
Hopefully there is a veto proof majority in both Illinois houses. Illinois citizens need to form a concerned citizens group to sue the Governor.
It is surprising the Governor would act against the will of the people because the Russians now have the full identity of the citizens in this multistage voter registration system. There is nothing stopping Russians from mailing in voter ballots. Even if there are duplicate ballots, chances are there will be some that are not.

Impeachment does not have the same status as treason. Treason is defined by the Article III, Section 3 of the USA Constitution.
Treason is a crime and requires at least two witnesses to the event. It requires no assembly of Congress. Treason is prosecuted in front of a judge and jury no different than any other crime.
Witnesses do not have to be Americans, nor are Americans excused as witnesses.

Minority Leader Pelosi is an asset to the Democratic Party. Do Democratic US House members need a new leader? I doubt it.
There are ways to bring along a younger House Leader and perhaps Minority Leader Pelosi should bring the younger members of the Democratic House more to the forefront. There is no profit for Minority Leader Pelosi to put younger members in the background. Experience is important, but, House leadership has to be sensitive to the ambitions of new and younger members.
I also believe Minority Leader Pelosi is an excellent guard of American’s entitlement. She needs to realize younger members of the Democrat’s see the future of retirement differently. That is important and that needs a plank in the Party platform so it also protects entitlements they have already paid into. The Democratic leadership needs to bring interesting ideas of their younger members forward. The future belongs to them, there has to be room for the future in the Democratic platform and there needs to be a voice for their ambitions from among current and successful members.
There are a lot of topics the younger members bring to enhance the strong morality instilled by Minority Leader Pelosi. Those topics include college loans that should not burden Americans all their lives that can ultimately deprive them of SSI and Medicare benefits. Another issue is the support of excellence in teaching future generations. Also at issue is the southern border and the best way to govern it going forward, including clearer and appropriate work for ICE. ICE played a role in human rights violations along that southern border by removing children from their parents. I think the US House needs to pass legislation that clearly defines their jobs without human rights issues. There are health care troubles as well as the empowerment of women.
The US Democratic House has to bring truth to Trump’s lies. Today in walking what he said to the Russians it was stated the tax reform was going to made permanently for the Middle Class and Small Businesses. It was stated as if the Republican tax reform was actually benevolent to the Middle Class and Small Businesses. Those are HUGE lies. Never before in the history of the USA have the wealthy and Wall Street been so indulged by the USA federal government through tax reform that at the same time places enormous tax burdens on the Middle Class and Small Businesses.

I find it laughable that Putin would not touch the copy of the indictment of his very own agents. I think Putin might be worried about Novichok.
But, Mr.Wallace was brilliant in carrying those copies to the interview and presenting them, It is unfortunate Mr. Putin was afraid of paper. It would have been interesting to see his response to facts on paper. The practice of law, yet alone international law, is not within President Putin’s expertise. That is true of Trump as well. But, I think Putin was afraid of the actual paper.
I think Lisa Page should insist on public disclosure of her testimony except for redacted national security statements. She is an attorney and could have ethic issues or more facing her through a state professional organization. I don’t think she needs to be dragged into a public hearing at Congress. No one needs the circus of the Strzok hearing. A redacted copy of Ms. Page’s testimony in a secured hearing room is all needed to the public.

It is wholly irresponsible to sweep Russian interference with US elections in 2016 under the table. Vladimir Putin stated he wanted Trump to win a presidential election in 2016 while he knew nothing about him except he was a rich guy.
Today, Paul Ryan states interference in elections is common practice by Russia. It seems to me the US Congress has an obligation to end that practice by Russia. Sanctions are only one way to end these practices. Sanctions have had minimal effect as exampled by the 2016 elections. The US Congress needs to hold a security summit with all US allies to bring about resolve TO RETURN THE VOTE TO THE VOTER without exception!
Donald Trump held a two hour secret meeting with Vladimir Putin. THAT is a threat to the USA national security. Pence is blowing smoke in his propaganda about America first with Trump.
Fox News is speculating about a grand jury due to Strzok and Page emails, etc. favoring Hillary Clinton’s emails and the lack of prosecution. The USA doesn’t need more partisan measures.
I have stated over and over on this blog there were LAWS LACKING to govern such activity. Former Secretary Clinton, no different than President Obama, are among the first elected officials to indulge the use of electronic communications. Wired communications are different than emails. Wired communications are already secured. Emails and text were new to USA national security by elected officials. There is no there there to seek a grand jury. There were no laws or protocols at that time to govern those using such communications.
Former Secretary Clinton is a prime example of a patriot who got caught up in a paradigm shift involving a new technology without laws for governance. She has been the First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the USA, a lawyer, a young woman in service to children as her first passion as a lawyer, she went on to be Secretary of State and a dedicated woman to attempt to shatter the last, hardest and highest glass ceiling in the USA. She has tried twice to win the nomination for President and once to win the presidency. She never had national security concerns until the use of emails and texts became an acceptable way of communication between government officials.
Hillary Clinton is the wife of a Former USA President. She used a server within her private residence. She was used to a grest deal of national security in her everyday life. It never occurred to her emails would be the issue it became. Her responsibilities regarding such technology issue were left to other professionals including private attornies. She is completely guiltless of any wrong doing in regard to any emails OF ANY KIND any time of her life.
Mr. Strzok had a very easy assessment about the Forner Secretary Clinton and her emails and server that was given to an IT professional to care for and store. We all know about the storage of the Clinton server. That only goes further to prove the lack of laws and policy regarding the technology at the time.
There is no way the government has a case against Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page. I will caution the idea that there is actually a remote case against these two well educated and practiced agents, in that the federal government had bled it’s finest professionals under the Trump presidency and the more the mistreatment of intelligence officers exist the fewer and fewer people will see these agencies as a career option.
There was no bias by Mr. Strzok or Ms Page in face of their personal political passions.
Enough is enough.
Today, Paul Ryan states interference in elections is common practice by Russia. It seems to me the US Congress has an obligation to end that practice by Russia. Sanctions are only one way to end these practices. Sanctions have had minimal effect as exampled by the 2016 elections. The US Congress needs to hold a security summit with all US allies to bring about resolve TO RETURN THE VOTE TO THE VOTER without exception!
Donald Trump held a two hour secret meeting with Vladimir Putin. THAT is a threat to the USA national security. Pence is blowing smoke in his propaganda about America first with Trump.
Fox News is speculating about a grand jury due to Strzok and Page emails, etc. favoring Hillary Clinton’s emails and the lack of prosecution. The USA doesn’t need more partisan measures.
I have stated over and over on this blog there were LAWS LACKING to govern such activity. Former Secretary Clinton, no different than President Obama, are among the first elected officials to indulge the use of electronic communications. Wired communications are different than emails. Wired communications are already secured. Emails and text were new to USA national security by elected officials. There is no there there to seek a grand jury. There were no laws or protocols at that time to govern those using such communications.
Former Secretary Clinton is a prime example of a patriot who got caught up in a paradigm shift involving a new technology without laws for governance. She has been the First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the USA, a lawyer, a young woman in service to children as her first passion as a lawyer, she went on to be Secretary of State and a dedicated woman to attempt to shatter the last, hardest and highest glass ceiling in the USA. She has tried twice to win the nomination for President and once to win the presidency. She never had national security concerns until the use of emails and texts became an acceptable way of communication between government officials.
Hillary Clinton is the wife of a Former USA President. She used a server within her private residence. She was used to a grest deal of national security in her everyday life. It never occurred to her emails would be the issue it became. Her responsibilities regarding such technology issue were left to other professionals including private attornies. She is completely guiltless of any wrong doing in regard to any emails OF ANY KIND any time of her life.

Trump is a treasonist and a traitor.
If Mr. Brennan won’t say it then I will. Trump is not only giving comfort to a USA enemy he is threatening NATO as a foe. I think Trump emotionally brutalizes his staff to the point where they don’t care about the country and are silent partners to Trump’s treason.
The majority Republicans are just as cowardly and are afraid their elections would not go well if treason and impeachment were an issue.
THE CONGRESS took an oath of office TO THE COUNTRY not the elections. The Congress is patheticly spineless!
