[FREEP] A former Troy city manager is seeking an early release from prison because of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... Brian Kischnick filed the emergency motion in U.S. District Court on Friday, asking to be transferred to home confinement.
The motion for release was originally filed under seal because of the personal information involved, according to a second order filed on Monday.
Kischnick was charged with bribery in federal programs after pleading guilty on Aug. 22, 2018. In January 2019, he was sentenced to 30 months of imprisonment and was recommended for the Residential Drug Abuse Program, the Bureau of Prisons' comprehensive drug treatment program.
On March 7, 2019, Kischnick's sentence began. While serving his sentence, he completed the residential phase of the drug treatment program. He is set to serve a minimum of 120 days in a Residential Reentry Center and had served 41 days as of Friday.

Bolton's exposed himself as a greedy bitter lying piece of shit
[Daily Caller] U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer denied Wednesday that President Donald Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping in June 2019 for help in the upcoming presidential election, an allegation that former national security adviser John Bolton levels in his forthcoming memoir.
"Absolutely untrue, never happened. I was there, I have no recollection of that ever happening. I don't believe it's true, I don't believe it ever happened," Lighthizer testified during a Senate Finance Committee hearing.
New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez had asked Lighthizer, a well-known critic of the Chinese government, about an excerpt from Bolton's book in which he alleged that Trump asked Xi for election help during a meeting in Japan on the sidelines of the Group 20 summit in June 2019.
"Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China's economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win," Bolton wrote in an excerpt published by The Wall Street Journal.
"He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump's exact words, but the government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise."

Lighthizer told Menendez that he was in the meeting in question and that Bolton's allegation was "completely crazy."
"Would I have recollected something as crazy as that? Of course I would," Lighthizer said.
Bolton makes numerous other bombshell allegations against Trump in his book, "The Room Where It Happened." He accuses his former boss of appeasing foreign dictators such as Xi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Bolton also claimed that top Trump administration officials, including Sec. of State Mike Pompeo, were highly critical of the president during private conversations.
The Trump Justice Department sued Bolton on Tuesday to delay the release of the memoir, which is set for release on June 23.

I used to wonder why Trump let people like Bolton, Mattis, McMasters, Kelly, Haley and Tillerson anywhere near his administration. I now realize he was giving each of them (maybe with the exception of Tillerson, who was just a bad, bad pick) a chance to come around and admit the neocon scam is finished. They all failed to come around and they all now are on the outside whining.

Bolton is just butthurt that Trump didn't start more wars.
[UPI] Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg ...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates.... said Wednesday the company is launching a campaign to register millions of voters across its social platforms.
The initiative includes creating a "Voting Information Center" with information on how and when to vote, details about registration, voting by mail and information about early voting.
The drive aims to register 4 million voters across the Facebook and Instagram platforms.
In an op-ed for USA Today Wednesday, Zuckerberg called the effort the "largest voting information campaign in American history" through which his company hopes to register voters ahead of November's presidential election.

[National Pulse] The National Pulse is today publishing a previously undisclosed "go to" list of "conservative" influencers that Big Tech firm Google uses to influence the political dynamics in Washington, D.C.
As the battle over Big Tech rages in Western capitals, The National Pulse was provided with an exclusive leak of the list of think tanks and activists who Google lobbyist Max Pappas reached out to on the back of the Federalist/Zero Hedge demonetization story.
Pappas – hired by Google in 2017 – took Google’s damage control messaging to nearly 100 influential figures on the right on Tuesday night.
The list (at the bottom of this article) includes key conservative influencers from major think tanks and publications – some of whom are believed to be beneficiaries of large Google donations.
The Heritage Foundation, the CATO Institute, Americans for Tax Reform, R Street, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and more were named. The National Pulse reached out to both Google and Max Pappas before publication, though neither responded to our queries.

"When NBC published their background conversation with Google yesterday the media outlet made a big legal mistake. NBC outlined the mechanics of a racketeering and antitrust violation, via Google’s power to control on-line ad revenue as a weapon to target NBC’s competition"

Not a good thing since it promotes the Dem Party over the Pub Party. This is censorship. There needs to be a fair playing field--not a stacked deck and players playing with a handicap. Just another example of Dem election-rigging.
[OMAHA] Nebraska Democrats are asking their U.S. Senate candidate to quit the race after he sent staffers text messages that the state party described as "sexually inappropriate."
Omaha baker Chris Janicek sent a group message June 4 to at least five people, including a female staff member who subsequently filed a complaint with the Nebraska Democratic Party. His text said they needed to "get her laid," referring to the female staffer, who has since quit the campaign.
Janicek has apologized and said he’s staying in the race.
"This is a moment in time where I made a terrible mistake in a text message," he said.
The World-Herald obtained copies of the text messages. Janicek’s texts described lining up multiple partners for group sex with the staffer and suggested that the "three guys" could be paid.
"Thoughts?!money" he wrote.
Janicek said that his texts did not come out of the blue, that his messages reflected the tone of an earlier office conversation he overheard. A lawyer for the female staffer said no such conversation involving her occurred.

[NYPOST] Sen. Tim Scott on Wednesday mocked Democrats for their kente cloth stunt after Sen. Dick Durbin ...Senator-for-Life from Illinois and Democratic Party Whip. In April 2006, Time magazine identified Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators, so what's that tell you? He was the first United States Senator to support the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, then the junior senator from Illinois... described his police reform proposals as a "token" approach.
"Y’all still wearing those kente cloths over there @SenatorDurbin?," Scott, a Republican of South Carolina, wrote on Twitter.
Durbin’s comments came just after Scott, the only black Republican senator, introduced the Republicans’ police reform proposals following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis coppers.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Durbin noted that the time is right for reforms following the mass protests nationwide over Floyd’s death.
"We cannot waste this historic moment, this singular opportunity," Durbin said. "Let’s not do something that is a token, half-hearted approach. Let’s focus instead on making a change that will make a difference in the future of America."
Scott was alluding to Democrats — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 44.53299 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... and House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... — who knelt earlier this month in the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall to note the eight minutes and 46 seconds that former Officer Derek Chauvin kept his knee pressed into Floyd’s neck.
The roughly two dozen Democrats wore colorful African kente cloths draped around their necks.
They were criticized at the time for wearing the African garb, but Rep. Karen Bass, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said the politicians wore the kente cloth in an act of solidarity.

More silliness and stupidity one comes to expect from Pelosi and crew. Instead or working to improve America, the leadership of the House throws sand into the machinery every chance they get--luddites at work.
