BAM! Trump Calls For Investigation of Clinton’s Ties to Russia

She’s in Bed with everyone BUT Bill

President Donald Trump took to Twitter Monday evening and asked why aren’t congressional lawmakers probing the various deals, transactions, and connections former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have to Russia.

“Why isn’t the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech,” read Trump’s first tweet, which was followed by, “…money to Bill, the Hillary Russian “reset,” praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!”

Trump’s assertion that then-Secretary of State Clinton “allowed big Uranium to go to Russia” and Bill Clinton’s high-dollar “Russian speech” were allegations first reported by The New York Times (NYT) and based on research from the NYT bestseller Clinton Cash, authored by Breitbart News Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer.

The facts found in Clinton Cash, reported by the NYT, and deemed accurate by establishment media reveal how Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State coincided with the influx of tens of millions of dollars from foreign sources into the Clinton Foundation which resulted in favorable actions for Russia’s government.

Indeed the Clinton Foundation had received millions in donations from several investorsin Uranium One, a Canadian-based company in which a majority stake was sold to Russia’s nuclear energy agency, Rosatom, in a lucrative deal needing approval from Clinton’s State Department and eight other federal agencies.

“The sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States,” The New York Times confirmed. 

The “deal,” as Trump points out, refers to how donations to the Clinton Foundation from executives of Russian-owned Uranium One had exceeded $145 million, according to the New York Times. In fact, those Clinton Foundation donations from uranium investors spiked just as the deal for Russia’s Rosatom to secure Uranium One was being finalized.

A troublesome series of undisclosed donations came from former Uranium One chairman Ian Telfer.

Telfer made four foreign donations totaling $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation while the uranium deal was being negotiated. However, the Times noted, “those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.”

“We made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them,” The Clinton Foundation admitted at the time. But Hillary Clinton’s failure to disclose the millions in donations her family foundation received from Teller was a direct violation of the Memorandum of Understanding she signed with the Obama administration promising to disclose all foreign donations during her tenure as Secretary of State.

More troubling still, was the $500,000 speech Bill Clinton delivered in Moscow that was paid for by “a Russian investment bank that had ties to the Kremlin” at the time of the Uranium One deal, the New Yorker confirmed.

“Why was Bill Clinton taking any money from a bank linked to the Kremlin while his wife was Secretary of State?” asks the liberal publication.

Trump’s calls for a federal investigation into the Clintons’ Russia ties come amid a partisan push to link the President and his aides to Russian influence-peddling and collusion during the presidential campaign.

Disgusting Patdown of Special Needs Boy in Dallas Airport ‘Horrified’ Mother

Watch video here:  http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/article95918157.html

A Transportation Security Administration official is drawing heavy criticism after a video that shows him patting down a boy at DFW Airport went viral on social media over the weekend.

Jennifer Williamson, the boy’s mother, posted the video to Facebook on Sunday morning, writing that she was “livid” at the TSA agent.

The two-minute clip shows Williamson’s son, Aaron, standing in a security area at the airport. The agent begins patting down the boy’s arms, back and torso before moving to the back of his shorts and the insides of his legs.

By Monday afternoon, Williamson’s video had been shared more than 22,000 times on Facebook and had more than 1 million views. Many of the 12,000 comments criticized the TSA agent, saying the pat-down was excessive.

A statement from TSA said “all approved procedures” were followed by the agent “to resolve an alarm of the passenger’s laptop.”

TSA policies, according to the statement, allow for a pat-down of teenage passengers.

Williamson wrote that her son had been detained by security for more than an hour; the TSA statement said that Williamson and her son were held at the security checkpoint for about 45 minutes.

At one point, two DFW Airport police officers also got involved, “flanking” her son on each side, Williamson wrote. The TSA statement said the officers were called to the checkpoint “to mitigate the concerns of the mother.”

Williamson wrote that she had requested that her son not be patted down because he has sensory processing disorder, a condition that can cause anxiety in children when they are touched, according to the Star Institute for Sensory Processing Disorder.

“I wish I had taped the entire interchange because it was horrifying,” Williamson’s post said. “Somehow these power tripping TSA agents who are traumatizing children and doing whatever they feel like without any cause, need to be reined in.”

Consumer Confidence Soars to Highest in 16 Years Under Trump

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

Consumer confidence in March soared to the highest level in more than 16 years, according to data released Tuesday.

The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index leapt to 125.6 in March from 116.1 in February, coming in well ahead of the MarketWatch-compiled consensus of 114.1.

The reading gave a pop to U.S. stocks DJIA, +0.58%  , which turned higher after the report.

Consumer confidence has taken off since the election of President Donald Trump, on the prospect of lower taxes and more infrastructure spending. Confidence has yet to be impacted by Congress’s inability so far to enact the president’s ambitions. The cutoff data for responses was March 16, before Republicans were forced to scrap a vote on repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Both the present situation and the expectations indexes improved in March.

The gains also cut across most regional and income groups. Perhaps not surprisingly, the higher the household income, the higher the consumer confidence reading. Only those with household income below $15,000 are less confident now than they were before the election.

Household income Oct. 2016 March 2017
Under $15,000 73 71.7
$15,000-$24,000 74.5 84.1
$25,000-$34,999 92 107.6
$35,000-$49.999 79.9 113.4
$50,000-$74,999 100.4 135.2
$75,000-$99,999 117.4 145.7
$100,000-$124,999 125.3 149.7
$125,000 and over 132.7 158.9

 

Consumers felt more optimistic about the jobs market. The percentage of consumers stating jobs are “plentiful” rose from 26.9% to 31.7%, while those claiming jobs are “hard to get” decreased from 19.9% to 19.5%.

Nasty Women Want Wonder Woman to Have Hair On her Pits

Not even close to Wonder Woman. Nasty Woman for sure.

Set to debut in theaters on June 2, the new Wonder Woman film will be the first female-centric superhero motion-picture to grace the big screen in some 12 years. The public has been endlessly teased with glimpses of the film, from the special first-look trailer released at Comic-Con, to a quick guest appearance by the Amazonian princess in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. All in all, we know relatively little about this modern embodiment of the Justice League’s only female member, other than she has some seriously powerful theme music.

With palpable excitement surrounding the film’s release, the latest trailer, which can be viewed below, has sparked new controversy. Through careful analysis, the internet has exposed a perhaps, not-so wonderful aspect of DC Comics’ newest incarnation of the classic, girl-power superheroine: She has no armpit hair.

While the moment lasts all of a millisecond — not to mention the reason we can see her armpits is because she’s throwing a truck over her head like a ragdoll —  it’s a millisecond that has set off a heated debate.

In the continual race for onscreen domination, it seemed that with the release of Wonder Woman, DC Comics had finally pulled ahead of Marvel Studios, which has yet to produce a superhero film with a female protagonist. But, as Refinery 29 pointed out in a scathing review of the new trailer, the lack of body hair on the female warrior makes us wonder if feminism was swept aside in favor of achieving the ideal female aesthetic. “It’s really hard to believe that Wonder Woman, who has been on an island filled with strong women her entire life, is worried about waxing and then bleaching her pits,” Refinery29 explained, “That is a time-consuming process and she’s a little too busy training ‘10 times harder’ with the Amazons so that she can, you know, save the world.”

Yes, it’s hard to argue that having been brought to life by Zeus and raised in a secluded sorority of warrior women, shaving would be high on the priority list for Wonder Woman. As Forbes pointed out, “In fact, one could venture that Wonder Woman’s armpits at the 1:47 mark represent the entire struggle with which a modern woman must grapple daily: I am woman, hear me roar, but so I don’t freak you the you-know-what out, let me take away everything I am so I can be everything you want me to be.”

While the fear that this new Wonder Woman is a false-feminist and yet another male-generated, unattainable beauty standard for a new generation of women, one cannot forget that as a comic book hero, Wonder Woman’s image has, like her male counterparts who often wear their underwear outside of their pants, always been highly stylized and more fantasy than reality.

Female superheroes are strong, capable and in most cases lethal, but they aren’t exactly known for having the anatomical proportions of the “average woman.” For some reason catsuits and modified leotards tend to come off better when you’ve got a figure that would make Barbie jealous. In a counterpoint to the argument, the National Review explains, “There is no room for debate about what Wonder Woman should and should not look like, because DC Comics already decided what she looks like when it created her in 1941.”

Superheroes are by their very nature romanticized versions of humanity. Even Gal Gadot, the Israeli-born actress who plays Wonder Woman, pointed out in an interview right after she landed the role and before the release of  Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, that not only do superheroes set impossible physical standards, but in many cases they have no physical relationship to their mythological origins, making it somewhat of a moot-point to criticize an onscreen interpretation. “The true Amazons had one boob so it won’t bother them in their archery. So it’s not going to be like real Amazons. We always try to make everyone happy but we can’t.” After all who really knows? Maybe demigods are born without body hair; did we ever stop to consider that?

Watching the clip, one would think that another woman’s personal grooming choices shouldn’t be an issue of contention. Wonder Woman is an Amazonian warrior capable of saving the world but she is still a woman. Who really cares if she also owns a razor? What do you think? Vote in our poll below.

One Sentence Bill To Repeal Obamacare Introduced By Alabama Congressman

Yes dumbasses. It takes one sentence and two nuts to repeal Obamacare.

Rep Mo Brooks, a Republican from the 5th Congressional District in Alabama, has filed a bill simply titled the “Obamacare Repeal Act,” and it contains just one sentence.

The bill simply reads:

“Effective as of December 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.”

“If the American people want to repeal Obamacare, this is their last, best chance during the 115th Congress,” Brooks said. Those Congressmen who are sincere about repealing Obamacare may prove it by signing the discharge petition.

“At a minimum, the discharge petition will, like the sun burning away the fog, show American voters who really wants to repeal Obamacare and who merely acts that way during election time,” he added.

Books, a member of the House Freedom Caucus that opposed the GOP healthcare plan – which he called Obamacare 2.0 – had announced Friday that he would be submitting such a bill as soon as his staff finished drafting it.

Ooooh Scary Shit: Maxine Waters is Out to Get Trump Impeached

Don’t say it. Just go do it to yourself.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) said in an interview with Elle magazine published Monday that she “is out to get” President Donald Trump and wants to ensure that he will be impeached.

While at Elle‘s 2017 Women in Washington event, Waters discussed her political engagement with millennials and her goal of Trump’s impeachment.

Elle asked Waters about her March 21 tweet, when she wrote, “Get ready for impeachment.”

Waters said she has used the word impeachment “to the dislike” of her Democratic colleagues, as they believe the declaration is premature. But Waters claimed impeachment is her goal.

“But that’s my goal. My goal is impeachment,” Waters said.

Waters said she was so outspoken about her dislike for Trump because she “could not live with the way he treated other people.”

“I’m out to get him,” she said. “And when he talked about grabbing women? Okay? I’m out to get him. I’m gonna see him out of office. And I think it’s going to happen. Get ready for impeachment.”

This is not the first time the congresswoman has been outspoken about impeaching Trump. Waters has frequently used her social media accounts to bash Trump, declaring that he and what she calls his “Kremlin clan” colluded with Russia.
