I am going to have to side with the repubs on this one. Crooked obammy and b***h clinton should go down!

The FBI warned that releasing the repub memo could undermine the public's faith in massive, unaccountable government secret agencies.

Even the FBI has been trying to cover up the alleged misconduct by the obammy admin.

It turns out that the Trump campaign would not have been surveilled without the Trump dossier which means that Hillary campaign opposition research was used by the government to spy on the Trump team. The reason the spying was approved was because of this f**e dossier. That’s huge.

Here’s the rundown of what’s in the memo.

From Washington Examiner:

The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the intial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.

Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele’s bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.

This video breaks it all down:

Just think...None of this would have ever been exposed if b***h clinton had been elected like they had planned. Hmmm...

Do you even know what is going on? I don't think so. The FISA warrant was obtained because of the phony trumped up dossier made up by former British spy Christopher Steele. That dossier was produced and paid for by, hillary clinton and the democratic national committee. And that is much more than collusion. That is a conspiracy to commit a crime of influencing a major e******n.

All who were involved in this conspiracy need to be charged with wh**ever crime that fits and put behind bars for a very long time.

Carter Page was named in the warrant, not Donald Trump. But the f**e news media only talked about
Donald Trump. Making it appear as though it was Donald Trump that was named.

To this date, no evidence has been found to charge Carter Page with any wrongdoing. And no eveidence has been found that points to Donald Trump doing anything wrong either.

There is evidence, and plenty of it, that proves it was the DNC and hilary clinton that conspired to change the outcome of the p**********l e******n. That is a major crime.

There is supportable evidence to prove it was hilary clinton that colluded with the Russians, to ruin
candidate Donald Trump.

All this collusion, conspiracy, crimes, treason, influencing, false charges claimed by the democrats,
was to cover up their own misdeeds.

What better way to try and cover your own tracks than to shift the blame for your own failure to another.

The scope of this crime is vast, and it goes all the way to the top. Obama had to know what was going on. After all, it was his justice department that was in charge when all this took place, starting way back before the primaries.

And let's not forget, if this had not been exposed, the crimes of hilary clinton would not have ever seen the light of day.

The floodgates to the swamp have just been unlocked, and the release handle is ready to be pulled.



GO---GO----Go-----MR. Trump

Know what the #1 and #2 k**ler of American women is? It isn't terrorists or crazy i*****l i*******ts - it's heart disease and cancer. Even though these are the greatest threats to the lives of American women, we spend next to nothing on them. We spend more on theoretical threats, then we do on real threats, at the ratio of 1000:1.

Know what the #1 cause of death is for armed services personnel? It isn't IED's - it's suicide. We spend next to nothing on this as well, but we do spend a fortune on new hardware.

Why do we spend a fortune protecting Americans from POTENTIAL threats, but refuse to spend anything on real time, verifiable and persistent threats here at home? It just seems silly to spend that kind of money keeping Americans safe from foreign threats, then letting them die from preventable/treatable conditions here at home. How much research would 20 billion dollars pay for? A whole hell of a lot, potentially leading to cures and/or much more effective treatments for the things that are ACTUALLY k*****g us.

If we're going to celebrate "America first" and "Americans first", let's put Americans at the TOP of the food chain, not a thousands steps down. Don't we deserve that? We're letting politicians and political hacks convince us that spending money on ourselves and our families is wasted money, and that spending money everywhere else and on theoretical threats is a better use for our treasure. I find that premise offensive, stupid..............................and treasonous.

Let's get serious, and spend 5 billion on enhanced border security to prevent the occasional rape or murder, and spend 20 billion on finding a cure for juvenile leukemia and other child cancers and genetic disorders, more effective screenings and treatments for heart disease..............and save the lives of the Americans we're keeping safe from foreign threats.

02/02/2018 A Never-Trump Press in Near Panic Over FBI Memo

Patrick Buchanan
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/buchanan/a-never-trump-press-in-near-panic-fbi-memo-trump-republicans/

“All the News That’s Fit to Print” proclaims the masthead of the New York Times.

“Democracy Dies in Darkness,” echoes the Washington Post.

“The people have a right to know,” the professors at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism hammered into us in 1962.

“Trust the people,” we were admonished.

Explain then this hysteria, this panic in the press over the release of a four-page memo detailing one congressional committee’s rendering.

Of how Trump-h**e spawned an FBI investigation of Republican candidate and President Donald Trump.

What is the press corps afraid of?

For it has not ceased keening and caterwauling that this memo must not see the light of day.

Do the media not trust the people?

Can Americans not handle the t***h?

Is this the same press corps that celebrates The Post, lionizing Kay Graham for publishing the Pentagon Papers, top-secret documents charging the “Best and the Brightest” of the JFK-LBJ era with lying us into Vietnam?

Why are the media demanding a “safe space” for us all, so we will not be harmed by reading or hearing what the memo says?

Security secrets will be c*********d, we are warned.

Really? Would the House Intelligence Committee majority v**e to expose secrets that merit protection?

Would Speaker Paul Ryan and White House chief of staff Gen. John Kelly, who have read and approved the release of the memo, go along with that?

Is Gen. Kelly not a proven patriot, many times over?

The committee’s ranking Democrat, Adam Schiff, who earlier warned of a threat to national security, now seems ready to settle for equal time.

If the majority memo is released, says Schiff, the minority version of events should be released.

Schiff is right.

It should be, along with the backup behind both.

This week, however, FBI Director Chris Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein slipped into the White House to plead with Kelly to keep the Republican memo secret.

Wednesday, both went public to warn the White House against doing what Trump said he was going to do.

This is defiant insubordination.

And it is not unfair to ask if Rosenstein and Wray are more alarmed about some threat to the national security than they are about the exposure of misconduct in their own agencies.

The memo is to be released Friday.


Leaks suggest what it contends:

That the Russiagate investigation of Trump was propelled by a “dossier” of lies and unproven allegations of squalid conduct in Moscow and Trumpian collusion with Russia.

Who prepared the dossier?

The leading dirt-diver hired by the Clinton campaign, former British spy Christopher Steele.

In accumulating his Russian dirt, Steele was spoon-fed by old comrades in the Kremlin’s security apparatus.

Not only did the FBI use this dirt to launch a full investigation of Trump, the bureau apparently used it to convince a FISA court judge to give the FBI a warrant to surveil and wiretap the Trump campaign.

If true, the highest levels of the FBI colluded with a British spy digging dirt for Hillary to ruin the opposition candidate, and, having failed, to bring down an elected president.

Is this not something we have a right to know?

Should it be covered up to protect those at the FBI who may have engaged in something like this?


“Now they are investigating the investigators!” comes the wail of the media:

Well, yes, they are, and, from the evidence, about time.

In this divided capital, there are warring narratives.

The first is that Trump was c*********d by the Russians and colluded with them to hack the DNC and Clinton campaign to destroy her candidacy.

After 18 months, the FBI and Robert Mueller probes have failed to demonstrate this.


The second narrative is now ascendant. It is this:

In mid-2016, James Comey and an FBI cabal, including Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, lead investigator Peter Strzok and his FBI paramour Lisa Page, decided Clinton must not be indicted in the server scandal, as that would make Trump president.


So they colluded and put the fix in:

This alleged conspiracy is being investigated by the FBI inspector general.

His findings may explain last week’s sudden resignation of McCabe and last summer’s ouster of Strzok from the Mueller probe.

If true, this conspiracy to give Hillary a pass on her “gross negligence.”

In handling secrets, and take down Trump based on dirt dug up by hirelings of the Clinton campaign would make the Watergate break-in appear by comparison to be a prank.


Here we may have hit the reason for the panic in the media.

Trump-h**ers in the press may be terrified that the memo may credibly demonstrate that the “Deplorables” were right, that the elite media have been had, that they were exploited and used by the “deep state.”

That they let their detestation of Trump so blind them to reality that they made fools of themselves.

And that they credited with high nobility a major conspiracy to o*******w an elected president of the United States.

If trump has nothing to do with putin or russia why is he trying so hard to stop the investigation,seems trump will go to any extent to stop it ,now if he can fire mullers boss then he can stop it,if this happens he will prove his guilt.

James Comey Director Federal Bureau of Investigation discusses the impact of technology on the work of law enforcement

Issues of privacy and security are at the forefront of public debate, particularly in light of recent national security disclosures and increasingly pernicious cyber attacks that target our personal information, our ideas, our money, and our secrets. But are privacy rights trumping public safety interests? And if so, at what cost? Has the post-Snowden pendulum swung too far in one direction?
 
On October 16, Governance Studies at Brookings hosted FBI Director James Comey for a discussion of the impact of technology on the work of law enforcement. Law enforcement officials worry that the explosion in the volume and the means by which we all communicate threatens its access to the evidence it needs to investigate and prosecute crime and to prevent acts of terrorism.
 
In particular, officials worry that the emergence of default encryption settings and encrypted devices and networks – designed to increase security and privacy – may leave law enforcement in the dark. Director Comey will talk about the need for better cooperation between the private sector and law enforcement agencies. He will also discuss potential solutions to the challenge of “going dark,” as well as the FBI’s dedication to protecting public safety while safeguarding privacy and promoting network security and innovation.

Recalling the news reporting of Missouri, Governor, Eric Greitens extramarital affair, the reports never failed to refer to him as "Republican" Governor, Eric Greitens. Watching this morning's news reporting of Nashville, Mayor, Megan Berry's extramarital affair, I never heard it mentioned which political party she's affiliated with.

I think it's safe to assume that when the media reports on a political figure's questionable actions, and there is no mention of political affiliation, one can, in most cases, safely determine that person's party affiliation is Democratic.

It was fun to tune in to ovommit's speeches just to see and hear a con man tell more lies about how great he was for our country. We bet on how many times ovommit would use "I" in his speeches and I would always go high and win a lot of money. Every speech he gave would top the previous one with lies, rhetoric and h**e America blasphemy. That is why he had an audience, people wanted to see how much hatred this imposter had in his heart and he never failed to let us down. Once the memo is released ovommits popularity will wane and be shot down like a Russian mig being shot down by an American fighter pilot. It is going to be tough to follow the POS when he and Hitlery are locked away in prison for their treasonous activity and the only people following ovommit then will be the prison cell homosexuals.

The Impact Of Immigrants On State Medicaid Budgets

The Impact Of Immigrants On State Medicaid Budgets

What is the impact of immigrants on state Medicaid budgets?

Medicaid, which is jointly funded by the states and the federal government, is the chief source of state financing to pay for the health needs of low-income residents. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation study, it represents $1 out of every $6 spent on healthcare in the US. The Pew Charitable Trust analyzed state Medicaid data. Examining budgets from 2000—2013, it found that the percentage of states’ own funds spent on Medicaid in fiscal year 2013 was higher in 49 states.

In 2014, A report by the Center for Immigration Studies analyzed government data, and found that immigrants and their children accounted for 42 percent revealed that of the growth in Medicaid enrollment from 2011 to 2013. Among the report’s findings:

"The number of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) on Medicaid grew twice as fast as the number of natives and their children on Medicaid from 2011 to 2013 — 11 percent vs. 5 percent.
About two-thirds of the growth in Medicaid associated with immigrants was among immigrants themselves, rather than the U.S.-born children of immigrants.
The increase in Medicaid enrollment among immigrants and their children can be roughly estimated as costing $4.6 billion annually. By 2013, 25 percent of immigrants and their children were on Medicaid, compared to 16 percent of natives and their children.”

Those immigrants who enter the United States illegally present special, and potentially costly, health care concerns. Officially, I*****l a***ns are not eligible for Medicaid, other than limited emergency services, and Obamacare omits coverage for them. However, their U.S.-born children are eligible. It should also be noted that individual states may choose to use their own resources to pay for the health care needs of i******s.

A 2007 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study reported:

“State and local governments incur costs for providing services to unauthorized immigrants and have limited options for avoiding or minimizing those costs […] Rules governing many federal programs, as well as decisions handed down by various courts, limit the authority of state and local governments to avoid or constrain the costs of providing services to unauthorized immigrants […] The tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants.”

People entering the United States illegally from less developed areas present health care challenges.

The Southern Medical Association (SMA) reports that there’s a growing health concern over i*****l i*******ts bringing infectious diseases into the United States. Approximately 700,000 i*****l i*******ts enter annually, and three-quarters of these i*****l i*******ts come from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Those entering the U.S. legally are required to be screened for infectious disease. One thinks of those vintage images of people being screened on Ellis Island. But similar examinations are not similarly performed on those entering the nation unauthorized. SMA notes:

“I*****l i*********n may expose Americans to diseases that have been virtually eradicated, but are highly contagious, as in the case of TB […] Immigrants coming here have been documented as having communicable diseases such as tuberculosis and swine flu […] individuals coming in contact with people with these diseases are at risk of becoming infected. Those most vulnerable to contracting illnesses from i******s are the first responders such as the Border Patrol agents. In turn, they may pass diseases and conditions on to their children, spouses, seniors and those with whom they come in contact who have c*********d i****e s****ms […] It isn’t the diseases that we have been v******ted against that are the most concerning, but ones like TB, which have developed multiple drug resistance, or tropical diseases such as Dengue fever that doctors may have difficulty diagnosing and for which there is no treatment.”
