WTH? This Is Bizarre.
A used car dealership known as ‘CIA’ in northern Virginia is the latest detail of intrigue in the bizarre investigations into the Pakistani family at the center of the House IT scandal involving former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

It's NO coincidence that the unelected public servants who have seen the details behind Trump/Russia that are hidden from the public are the ones who are sounding the alarms

Will The Tax Bill Punish Puerto Rico?
Why, Of Course, It Will!
The hits just keep coming for Puerto Rico.
As the U.S. island struggles to climb out of a $70 billion debt crisis and recover from the devastation of Hurricane Maria, House Republicans voted Tuesday to impose a 12.5 percent tax on intellectual property income made by U.S. companies operating on the island and a minimum 10 percent tax on their profits in Puerto Rico. The Senate passed the measure early Wednesday.

It was revealed that the Pentagon had a top secret program to investigate UFO’s and aliens. Which is why Trump announced plans to build a dome over the earth and make E.T. pay for it. - Jimmy Fallon

Time To Deflate Photo

This beautiful house is about 300 meters from my house. This is the 2nd time this year that this house's fence has been hit by obscene graffiti. I have no idea who lives there. The only cars I have seen there belong to the landscaper. My first thought when I saw it was -- what did he do to her?

Peace.

Close Encounters Of The Second Kind?
A former military intelligence official who ran a Pentagon program analyzing unidentified flying objects (UFOs) said Monday that there is "compelling evidence" that "we may not be alone" in the universe.

AHNC Personal Trivia: I've witnessed several UFOs over the years, some I believe were U.S. experimental aircraft but others I saw, no.

One of the cartoon contributors to AHNC in the early years was Steve Bradenton (an alias), who was a retired CIA artist from the 70s to the 90s. He said he saw photographic proof and documents that UFOs and alien beings exist and the military knows it, and believes it privately, not publicly. I asked him about the Roswell Incident, Area 51, etc...he laughed and said that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Steve died several years ago ending his second career as a successful painter.

Here's one my favorite toons of Steve's

I miss you, buddy.

Legislated Silence For Congressional Sex Abuse Settlements
The Senate’s Office of Compliance on Monday rejected Sen. Tim Kaine’s (D-Va.) request for information about sexual harassment settlements in Congress, citing the Congressional Accountability Act’s confidentiality rules.

While announcing plans to trim the size of the regulatory code, President Trump today cut a red ribbon with an oversized scissors that was draped across stacks of paper. Then, because of all the regulations he repealed, the scissors fell apart, a dolphin choked on the ribbon, and the paper burst into flames.- Seth Myers

Bitcoin Cofounder Calls Bitcoin Useless
Bitcoin.com is one of the world’s largest bitcoin sites, having grown its profile this year thanks to the remarkable price surge of the cryptocurrency. But its cofounder and CTO, Emil Oldenburg, a Swedish native, is extremely skeptical when it comes to bitcoin's future.
”I would say an investment in bitcoin is right now the riskiest investment you can make. There’s an extremely high risk,” he says in an interview with Swedish tech site Breakit.

Mueller team denies accusations it 'unlawfully' obtained Trump transition emails
A spokesman for special counsel Robert Mueller has denied accusations by Trump transition lawyers that Mueller's team got unauthorized access to thousands of transition emails.

Obama Was Right About Citizens United
The landmark Citizens United case and related campaign finance laws may be facilitating Russia’s attempt to subvert U.S. democracy, the Dallas News reports.
According to an analysis of public campaign finance reports, a group of Russian-linked political donors with ties to Vladimir Putin funnel money to Donald Trump and the GOP through legal campaign contributions that have, thus far, faced little-to-no scrutiny by the federal government.

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections."
— Barack Obama on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 in the State of the Union address

Was The Washington Post Pranked With Fake News?
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald on Sunday addressed a report that President Donald Trump’s administration had banned the CDC from using seven words or phrases in next year’s budget documents.
The terms are “fetus,” “transgender,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “evidence-based” and “science-based,” according to a story first reported on Friday in The Washington Post.
But Fitzgerald said in a series of tweets on Sunday said there are “no banned words,” while emphasizing the agency’s commitment to data-driven science.

Well, You Can Take Doug Jones Out Of Alabama BUT You Can't Take The Alabama Out Of Doug Jones
After all the celebrating last week, Democrats got a big dose of reality on Sunday, when Alabama’s newly elected senator, Doug Jones, made clear he won’t always toe the party line. “I’m going to talk to people on both sides of the aisle, try to figure out what I think is in the best interests of my state and in the country,” Jones said on CNN’s State of the Union. “I don’t think anybody should depend on, be able to count on my vote for anything.”
Jones differentiated himself from many in his party by saying he doesn’t think President Donald Trump should resign over the numerous sexual misconduct allegations against him. In fact, he thinks it’s time to stop talking about the issue.
