Trump's Budget Excludes Funding For Bomb Sniffing Dogs
New Yorkers could see fewer bomb-sniffing dogs at the city’s airports and train stations if President Trump gets his way.
Trump’s proposed 2021 budget released to Congress last week includes plans to eliminate a program that deploys dog teams to detect explosives at crowded travel hubs across the country.

I want to be clear how utterly despised Blagojevich was in his own party in Illinois (a Democratic powerhouse).

He was impeached 114-1. He was convicted in the IL Senate 59-0.

*He tried to sell Obama's Senate seat for profit. He does not deserve commutation. - Bradley P. Moss

* That's probably why Trump is commuting his sentence.

Making Sure Sham Educational Institutes Thrive
Led by Secretary Betsy DeVos, the U.S. Department of Education in 2018 revived a Washington, D.C. accrediting agency, just two years after it was shut down by President Barack Obama’s administration. Now, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) is back to determining the viability of higher education institutions, and has reportedly approved Reagan National University, a college which doesn’t appear to exist at all.

The Whistleblower of Russian Hacking Petitions Trump For Her Release
Supporters of Reality Winner, a National Security Agency whistleblower who leaked classified information about Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, petitioned Donald Trump on Monday for her early release from prison...Winner was sentenced to five years and three months in August 2018 after admitting breaching the espionage act by passing top secret documents to an investigative news website about the Russian hacking of voting software and its efforts to disrupt dozens of local election systems ahead of the 2016 election.

I Watched This Stadium Being Built. The Chinese Workers Used Bamboo Scaffolding. BTW China Also Built Wind Farms in Nicaragua at the Same Time.
A $10 million donation from China to the Costa Rican Institute of Sports and Recreation (ICODER) will help fund renovations to the National Stadium, Costa Rica’s largest and most modern sports venue...While a giant Costa Rican flag waves on the western side of the National Stadium, the “Jewel of La Sabana,” as it was deemed by former President Oscar Arias, was constructed by a staff of entirely Chinese workers.
In June 2007, Arias severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan to officially establish Costa Rica’s new partnership with China. As a token of appreciation, the Chinese government offered Costa Rica a new National Stadium as “a gift” and spent an estimated $100 million on its construction...During a visit to San José earlier this year, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Costa Rica against allying itself too closely to China.

Bill Barr ouster demanded by over 1,100 ex-Justice Dept officials in scathing letter

Bill Barr ouster demanded by over 1,100 ex-Justice Dept officials in scathing letter
According to a report from the New York Times, over 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials have signed on to a letter calling for Attorney General Bill Barr to step down.
The report states the letter insists, “Each of us strongly condemns President Trump’s and Attorney General Barr’s interference in the fair administration of justice,” adding those actions “require Mr. Barr to resign.”

To the men and women of DOJ/FBI: do NOT resign, stay strong, in all your actions be true to the oath you have sworn, report wrongdoing. The era of Trump and Barr will pass-their slander, insults and corrupt acts will end. We - the American people - respect & believe in you. - Eric Holder

More Charges Possible Against Giuliani's Associates

Prosecutors with the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York are considering whether to charge Giuliani associate Lev Parnas and at least one of his business partners with misleading potential investors for Fraud Guarantee, the Florida-based company that paid Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal attorney

Vindman Vindicated
The Army will not investigate Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the former National Security Council staffer who testified in the president’s impeachment investigation, the service’s top civilian said Friday.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy made the announcement at an event just days after President Donald Trump said he imagined the military would “take a look at” whether Vindman should face disciplinary action for the “horrible things” he told House investigators about the president’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last July.

The contractors he hired trusted him.The women he married trusted him.The donors to his scam charity trusted him.The students - incl vets - in his fraud online University trusted him.

The Latest Push To Make D.C. a State
A bill that would make Washington, D.C., the 51st U.S. state was approved by a Democratic-led House committee last week, setting the stage for a vote by the full chamber in the near future. If it passes, as expected, it will be the first time the campaign to bestow statehood on the nation’s capital has been endorsed by one of the chambers of Congress.
Republicans in the Senate are expected to swiftly reject the bill, however, continuing a legacy of partisan sparring over the District of Columbia that has been going on for more than two centuries.

Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history. - Barack Obama tweet

Sorry to say this on Valentines Day, but I think it's time we start seeing other presidents.

Trump tweets about Barr interview after AG complains about Trump tweeting
The president asserts that he has a “legal right” to ask the attorney general to intervene in a federal criminal case.

I Imagine Trump Supporters are Furious! Good!
The Department of Justice (DOJ) will no longer pursue criminal charges against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, closing a high-profile case against the former official whose conduct during the 2016 election came under intense scrutiny.

McCabe not being indicted is not the real story.

The Attorney General tried to use his power to punish one of the President’s adversaries.

That’s why yesterday’s play-acting in his ABC interview was such obvious BS. - Rep. David Cicilline

Trump Lies About Vet At State Of The Union
Tony Rankins, a formerly homeless, drug-addicted Army veteran, got a standing ovation at the State of the Union after President Donald Trump described how he turned his life around thanks to a construction job at a company using the administration’s “Opportunity Zone” tax breaks targeting poor neighborhoods.
But that’s not completely true.

Not only did Trump support Stop and Frisk; he wanted to take it nationwide.
AND Trump was the only 2016 candidate to call for confiscating guns from Americans. Look it up. He did it in a debate.
And #maga men voted for it.
