News Item


Gross domestic product—the value of all goods and services produced in the U.S., adjusted for inflation and seasonality—rose at a 3.2% annual rate from January through March,  the strongest rate of first-quarter growth in four years, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

Measured differently, economic output rose 3.2% in the first quarter from a year earlier, the third-straight quarter of yearly growth of 3% or more.

A member of the independent counsel team that recommended the impeachment of President Bill Clinton says that President Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice are “blunter by a thousandfold” than anything Clinton did and more than justifies the House Judiciary Committee opening impeachment proceedings.

So what are the dems waiting for?

If you want to be more environmentally friendly, then we need to improve public transportation, including by building high speed trains, and we need to become more bicycle friendly with safe bicycle lanes and with bike racks where people can park and lock up their bicycles, and we also need places where people can charge their electric cars while they park, etc. There are many ways that we can help our environment.

Salute,

Tony V.

Who are you, Man from the Past?

Congress had allocated $380 million in election security grants in March after intelligence assessments detailed a coordinated and continued effort by Russia to interfere in U.S. elections.

The blocked $250 million would have covered the fiscal year 2019, which starts Oct. 1, just ahead of the midterm elections.

Republicans have argued it is too soon to allocate new money for the following year and want to see how states use the $380 million already set aside for election security efforts

Sensible.

Not the way the federal government is set up. And fiscal 2019 started LAST October 1st. Kiiid. There will be no evaluation of the current fiscal year spending until well after.

This reminds me of the way Head Start began.

Year 0, money is allocated.
Year 1, money is requested for Year 2 and distributed from the allocation. Congress demands to know if the program worked.

A program designed to change kids' lives and they want to know if it worked before it has even been distributed?!

Ditto a program to stop interference with our elections. It will take money every year, until and unless we make serious changes nation-wide.

And given that President Trump has not directed our intelligence services to pay attention to blocking the Russians and denies yet that they did much of anything, the GOP's games are stupid.

Enough Republicans to put country over party to make it plausible. Not that this will happen.

Lindsey Graham explains that a president stonewalling Congressional oversight is an impeachable offense.

https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1121822658050572288

Translation for anything Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, or Mick Mulvaney says, along with the rest of the so-called leaders of the GOP:

"We are saying and doing whatever gives us more power as a party or individually, and which benefits our wealthy supporters."

So long as you understand that it the underlying "principle" of every utterance and bill, you will see there is no hypocrisy now compared to earlier comments.

Tish James is getting the receipts on money laundering, tax fraud, insurance fraud, and a host of other crimes. It’s worth a little wait while the target criminal further publicly obstructs justice.

Has always been in favor of vaccines and is now appropriately advising that those not vaccinated AT ALL get it done.
