[Washington Times] British ex-spy Christopher Steele spread other accusations against President Trump not included in his well-publicized election dossier, according to the Justice Department’s recent report on FBI misconduct.
The report by Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz shows at least three little-noticed Steele assertions that went to Crossfire Hurricane, the bureau’s Trump probe headquarters. And like 13 of his dossier’s accusations of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, those three didn’t pan out either.
The three allegations had to do with supposed Trump campaign cash from Moscow via Azerbaijan, a Russian intelligence officer, and a purported intervention by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the next secretary of state.

One hundred percent of sixteen unverifiable-because-false accusations? It’s time for the government to get our money back from the man. The contract as written was for verifiable information, no matter what the unspoken wink wink might have been.

..we need to end the duplicitous judicial ruling that there are two classes, private and public, in direct contradiction to the 14th Amendment's equal standing before the law.

[KRQE] New Mexico governor’s office responds to sexual abuse allegations.
A shocking allegation against the governor was made tonight from a longtime democratic political operative. The governor’s office is responding to sexual abuse allegations by former employee James Hallinan.
Hallinan, who last served as media contact for Attorney General Hector Balderas, tweeted on Wednesday that he and other staffers had been sexually assaulted by Governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham.
His tweet did not offer any other details about when this allegedly happened but said he would reveal more information when he’s back in the country.

With his poll numbers on the rise, Democrat insiders are reportedly murmuring that he could actually win the nomination this time, and they don’t seem particularly thrilled with the prospect.
Suddenly, Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign is being taken seriously.
For months, the Vermont senator was written off by Democratic Party insiders as a candidate with a committed but narrow base who was too far left to win the primary. Elizabeth Warren had skyrocketed in the polls and seemed to be leaving him behind in the race to be progressive voters’ standard-bearer in 2020.

Joe Stalin gave communists a bad name so now they call themselves Democrats. Sanders is just more honest about it than any of the rest of them which is why they fear he can't get elected. Nobody will admit it but that's really what they are, even Hillary and Biden. All of them favor more government control over every aspect of human life. Even Trump will only hint that some of them might be socialists. But in the old Soviet Union, the words communism and socialism were interchangeable.

Didn't we hear how Obama would speak up to stop Sanders from becoming the Democratic presidential nominee?
Whatever happened with that

We have term limits for state legislators in California. It hasn't worked very well. The legislature is still controlled by a super majority of Democrats and they're running the state into the ground. Their plan is to make it all just like San Francisco and Los Angeles; crowded, expensive, dysfunctional and shitty.

[Victory Girls] Last week at his Battle Creek rally, President Donald Trump pondered whether late Congressman John Dingell, Jr. was in Heaven or Hell. The legacy media, social media, and his widow, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, all reached for their smelling salts. How dare the President insinuate that the recently deceased, great man was not singing with the choirs of angels in Heaven. The Dingell family has ruled Detroit for nearly a century. Is it really wrong to take a deeper look at the Dingell family and what they have gained from their inherited privilege?
I had never heard of any member of the Dingell family until the Bush/Gore debates during the 2000 Presidential election cycle. During one debate, Al Gore bowed up next to George Bush and asked, "What about the Dingell-Norwood bill?" Apparently, it was a Patients Bill of Rights, but I found the phrase "Dingell-Norwood" hysterically funny. Nineteen years later, I can crack myself up just by thinking "Dingell-Norwood". Laughing now.
Watching C-Span hearings (Yes, I am that girl.), I found John Dingell, Jr. to be a nasty piece of work as head of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. I knew nothing about the family history. Until now. Daniel Greenfield has an article in Front Page Magazine that is devastating. It is titled "The Hellish Legacy of the Dingell Family", and you MUST read it. Here are the opening paragraphs:
A decade ago, Time Magazine unveiled an in-depth article on the death of Detroit. One of the politicians whom the article blamed for Detroit’s woes was Rep. John Dingell.
The Dingell clan has held a congressional seat outside Detroit since 1932. Their 87-year tenure has not coincidentally coincided with the decline of a thriving industrial city into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
But it’s been good for the Dingells, three of whom have sat in their congressional seat since the days of Herbert Hoover, the rise of Hitler, and the radio age, and fattened their pockets on its sinecures.
Nearly one hundred years. Let that sink in. I have always had a huge problem with inherited positions. The concept is antithetical to our Republic. Elected officials were supposed to serve and then return to their homes and resume their jobs as teachers, landowners and plumbers. They were not supposed to make a career out of public service, enrich themselves and their families, and become permanent swamp dwellers.
The Dingells have done well in public service. Again, from the article:
By 2014, Dingell Jr. was listed as the third richest member of Congress from Michigan with a net worth of $3.5 million. When Debbie took over for him next year, her net worth was up to $3.6 million. The salary for House members was $174,000. The median household income is $57,000 in the 12th.
Not bad for a family whose business was and is the 12th district from western Detroit through Ann Arbor. Much of the Dingell money came through GM. And Rep. John Dingell had vocally fought for the GM bailout. The GM couple, which had millions in GM stock, had a lot riding on taxpayers bailing them out.
Yes, the sordid, filthy lucre. In case you have forgotten about the GM bailout, although the government was repaid and the shareholders did well, the bondholders got screwed.

...I shall once more propose the 28th Amendment:
"ARTICLE ONE: No person shall be appointed to the office of United States Congressman or United States Senator who is related by blood or marriage to the previous officeholder."

Sinecure = synonym for rent-seeking?
Reminds me a song by Chip Taylor and The New Ukrainians titled "F#ck All The Perfect People."
First couple of verses lyrics:
To be or not to be
To free or not to free
To crawl or not to crawl
Fuck all those perfect people!
To sleep or not to sleep
To creep or not to creep
And some can't remember, what others recall
Fuck all those perfect people!

More on the tragical Mr. Isentrout. If I disappear with the New Year, I died of homesickness... for a city that killed itself just as I was getting to know it.
[Redstate] Democrats refused to tell anyone, even Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee who the Ukraine whistleblower is.
According to House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA), even he doesn’t know who he is (despite the fact that his aide met with him, the whistleblower wrote Schiff a letter and Schiff has allegedly had to police the whistleblower’s name from being mentioned during the hearings or being set out as such in transcripts. It would be impossible to do that without knowing who he was, but that’s what Schiff represented to the American public during the hearing.
The media doesn’t know who he is, either, that’s how they know not to set forth his name in any accounts of the events and how they can scold any mention of his name, because they don’t know who he is (inset sarcasm here).
But despite that, now we’re hearing reports that the man no one knows has received a security detail, for how long is not clear.
But how is this possible that someone detailed security for him, since no one knows who he is? And how does media know the whistleblower has this security if they don’t know who the whistleblower is?
