Former Sen. Jeff Flake on why Republicans aren’t disavowing Trump’s ‘awful’ words

"It's been a tumultuous week in Washington, amid fallout from President Trump’s racist attacks on four members of Congress, all women of color. On Thursday, Trump held a rally in North Carolina, where his words -- and the crowd’s -- took the controversy to a new level. Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake joins Judy Woodruff to discuss what he calls Trump’s "awful" rhetoric and the Republican response".

As AG Barr's spygate investigation proceeds democrat's and their news media outlets are squealing louder and louder.

Barr's investigation will begin to unearth illegal activity by the rich and politically powerful.

No doubt Barr's probe will cross lines with the Epstein investigation finding some in Washington DC (past and present) were involved with his sick activities.

These two cases will, no doubt, have a strong effect on the 2020 election.

Question: why are there more protests against the spygate investigation by democrat's than republican's?

Republicans distance themselves from Trump’s ‘Spygate’ conspiracy theory

"Reporting from Washington — The air seems to be going out of “Spygate.”
While President Trump still touts the unfounded claim that the Obama administration improperly spied on his 2016 campaign, senior Republican lawmakers have steered clear of the conspiracy theory since they received classified briefings last week on the role of an FBI confidential informant in an investigation aimed at unmasking Russian interference in the election.

Trump’s Skimpy Health Insurance Plans, Coming to a Market Near You

" Trump’s efforts to rein in prescription drug prices aren’t going very well. His attempts to erode the Affordable Care Act are going just fine.

A federal judge on Friday upheld an administration rule that expands the availability of short-term health-insurance plans that don’t have to abide by Obamacare regulations.The ruling is excellent news for companies that sell those plans; they’ll feel more confident in expanding their offerings and marketing. It’s not positive for just about everyone else, potentially saddling more people with shoddy insurance and making good coverage more expensive than it already is",

Trump Bets Race Tweets Energize GOP While Independents Unmoved

"(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump’s attacks on four minority congresswomen have stoked a backlash in the media and condemnation in Congress. But he’s betting the political benefits are worth it -- and that the comments fire up his base more than they drive away independents.

One reason: Trump’s insults raise the profile of the most liberal members of the Democratic Party, playing into his hopes of making the 2020 campaign in key battleground states like Wisconsin into a referendum on socialist policies. Polls show that the term “socialism” is a big loser for Democrats.

By Republican Standards, Almost Nothing Is Racist

"Most of the time, conservatives and Republicans want the bar for what constitutes bigotry to be set extremely high. When President Donald Trump tweeted last weekend that four nonwhite Democrats in Congress should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” he offered a textbook example of racism. Trump’s own Equal Employment Opportunity Commission uses the phrase Go back to where you came from as one of its examples of discrimination based on national origin. Yet Trump insisted that “those Tweets were NOT Racist”—even as he doubled down on them by launching an attack on Representative Ilhan Omar that prompted rally-goers in North Carolina on Wednesday night to chant “Send her back!"

The three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued the order, which included a reprimand of U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan for not adequately addressing key legal questions before him and thereby abusing his discretion to deny the appeal merely because the case would proceed quickly".

Trump Donates His Salary. But Where Does It Go?

How about he applies the $400,000 to the cost of his frequent field trips to the golf course.

Donating some money to causes that don’t even exist, yet?...and giving to parks that he plans to drill on?

The Deep State tried to destroy Trump through three unprecedented actions:

1) To find compromising information to pin on Trump, there was massive unmasking of the identity of American citizens gleaned from the National Security Agency’s “incidental intercepts of Americans abroad search protocol,” with a focus on those who interacted with Trump and Russians — an initiative largely authorized and facilitated by National Security Advisor Susan Rice;

2) There was a false anti-Trump narrative created with contractual help from former British MI6 intelligence officer Christopher Steele (paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC) in the form of dossier to be leaked to the media to destroy Trump’s reputation;

3) Then there was a political weaponization of the FISA courts using that same dossier to authorize U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on Trump and his people.

In the near future all of this, and more, will become common knowledge and those responsible will be held accountable.

... and it's all beginning with Jeffrey Epstein!

If Donald Trump had been involved with Jeffrey Epstein the news media would have plaster this on the mainstream media in 2016.

Because of his business contacts with the rich, famous and Hollywood Donald Trump has known that the sex trade would be the door opener to the deep state downfall.

Jeffrey Epstein and the deep state made videos of the people involved in this illegal sex trade to be used for blackmail. Be prepared for the rich and famous who were involved to claim that the videos the FBI now has are Deep Fake AI generated videos. However, the DOJ has technology to determine whether they are fake or real.

The deep state is counting on most Americans being more interested in the TV game shows than the spygate investigation. However, as the sexgate and abuse of children becomes common knowledge Americas attention will become focused and the deep state players are in a panic. The main stream media is attempting to deflect the full impact of everything. There will come a day when they will be forced to report the truth.

Within 24 hours of Jeffrey Epstein's arrest from New York, Washington DC and Hollywood big name personalities have appeared saying they were deceived. Aa Shakespeare wrote,

"He doeth protest to much"! Funny how the guilty have been accusing President Trump of the very illegal activities they were involved in.

The next year is going to be very interesting.

18. Proposed relaxing Obama-era requirements that companies monitor and repair methane leaks at oil and gas facilities. E.P.A. |
19. Proposed changing rules aimed at cutting methane emissions from landfills. In May 2019, a federal judge ruled against the E.P.A. for failing to enforce the existing law and gave the agency a fall deadline for finalizing state and federal rules. E.P.A. said it is reviewing the decision. E.P.A. |
20. Announced a rewrite of an Obama-era rule meant to reduce air pollution in national parks and wilderness areas. E.P.A.

It's so shocking the difference in what the national news media reports and what I hear every morning on this farm program called AgDay. AgDay is a program aimed mainly to the agricultural community.

TV station WNDU and Purdue University produce AgDay. The news broadcasts for the farming community are significantly more up beat than the network news. They give actual numbers on harvest of grain, corn as well as live stock. No politics at all. Interesting that exporters and turning away from China to sell to countries like VietNam. VietNams business imports have increased. In 2000 they exported 1 billion dollars worth of products. In 2017 that went up to 40 billion. China may go away but other countries are standing in the wings waiting for America to divorce China and connect with new partners who arn't so quick to rape our industries and workers.

If the average American heard the true story from the farmers and cattle ranchers themself they'd have a much different view of what President Trump is doing. Purdue University has performed polls of farmers for the last year and 75% of the agriculture sector supports the President 100%.

The Jihad Gang of Four won't win any votes in the farming heartland in 2020.

Apologize to America,' Trump tells Democratic congresswomen

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday stepped up his attacks on four Democratic congresswomen who have criticized his policies, calling on them to apologize as he himself faced charges of racism.

"I don't believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country. They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible (hateful) things they have said," Trump said in a Twitter post".

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-democrats/apologize-to-america-trump-tells-democratic-congresswomen-idUSKCN1UG0J2

"Our allegiance is not to the president. Our allegiance is to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the American people."

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country.

Theodore Roosevelt

Why should they apologize because they criticized Trump or the government or the government's policies? The constitution says in the 1st Amendment that any criticism is free speech.

DEMAGOGUE FASCISM - 1 often capitalized: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control, early instances of army fascism and brutality.

That ‘Deep State’ You Keep Hearing About? It Doesn’t Exist

"Michael Hayden really, really doesn’t like it when people talk about the Deep State.

Well, of course! is what you’re probably thinking. Hayden is a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a former director of the National Security Agency, and a former deputy director of national intelligence. If anybody embodies what President Trump, numerous right-wing Trump acolytes, and all too many progressives refer to as the Deep State, it would be Hayden. But in his just-released book, The Assault on Intelligence, Hayden patiently—and, at times, not so patiently—makes the case for why the Deep State".

"WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are pledging tough questioning of special counsel Robert Mueller when he testifies before Congress this week as Democrats plan to air evidence of wrongdoing by President Donald Trump in a potentially last-ditch bid to impeach him.

Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on House Judiciary Committee, said the American public is growing weary of the Russia investigation three months after the release of the special counsel's 448-page report and that "any thought of impeachment is waning." He said Republicans will be focused on making clear that the report represents a "final episode" in the Russia probe, which he described as flawed".
