The Truth -- Barr's folly
The plot just thickened on William Barr and the Mueller report
I have been posting on FB and on various blogs my frustration with the Barr so called "summary" of Mueller's Report ruling the day. Barr clearly is a Trump lackey, does not want to make the same mistake the previous Attorney General Sessions made and is doing his best to propagandize the Mueller report to suit Trump's wishes making Trump's victory laps possible.
I have been saying
because this is so and because Barr is ignoring Congress's request and
threatened subpoena of the Mueller Report that Muller and/or his Team
should make an end run around Barr's bar and release the Report in its
entirety now, not tomorrow, not in weeks but now. The American people
want it and they paid millions for it. Clearly the Mueller Team is
springing leaks because they are consummately frustrated with Barr's
coughing up the Party line to make Trump look good and able to take his
courtly bows. Victory laps are not in order and probably will never
be. Trump is probably guiltier then his victory laps suggest.

Letter to the Fifth Circuit re: the ACA
Dear Justices. I am
writing you today because I do not know, truthfully, what to do nor how I
as an American citizen and lover of my country can express an opinion
that
could have some thoughtful influence on the case that is, I believe, due to come before you soon.
Perhaps,
it is my political philosophy I have honed for decades trying to weigh
what rightful powers government can and should possess in a free
society. I have dedicated many hours of thought into this question,
perhaps, being slightly influenced by my own circumstances and by my
father's love of this nation, its history and most especially, even
though he was Republican, his love for Franklin Roosevelt. Although I
was born during the Truman administration my father's thoughts of FDR
influenced the trajectory of my own political thought. Yes, I am
progressive on most policies but I am not progressive because I think
government should simply hand out money to all but because I believe as
FDR did that government's proper role is to help its people most
especially in extreme social circumstances like the Great Depression or
to avoid living in abject poverty when our bodies fail us and we grow
old having no money to secure our lives.
In
my own life I was one of the last who contracted polio six months
before the vaccine came out. It has had in my senior years some dire
impacts. In my youth I remember when my father, a small business owner,
could not get insurance for me because, yes, I had a preexisting
condition. Polio has been a life long preexisting condition. The
effects of the virus are not only horrifically impactful to one's body
it is also very expensive to address it in one's entire life. One long
leg brace amounts now to about $5,000. There were and are other
accoutrements of this malady including surgeries, casts, crutches,
braces, and much more. In my later years I have fallen so many times
including three femur fractures and one surgery for it that I thank God
every day for the blessing of Medicare and the blessing of living in a
country where I can get help.
My
plight is shared now by millions who will face the loss of their
healthcare entirely if the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare is struck
down. I believe the Texas Court was in great error in its opinion and I
hope and pray fervently that this Court will come to a different
conclusion and save the ACA. Why on God's earth someone so cruelly and
without empathy would deny millions health care and ensure that many
will die without it I do not know.
Therefore
I ask you, no I beg you, to consider my simple argument when deciding
this case. Without healthcare people die -- many people die. Without
healthcare even those nearest and dearest to lawyers, judges or to just
the average person will die without healthcare. Healthcare today is
unduly expensive and is costing more and more each day. People are
signing up for the ACA and it has been saving lives. As the great
orator and my hero FDR said:
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little."
Thank you for your consideration.

My Second Letter to Special Counsel Mueller
Dear
Special Counsel Mueller: I wrote to you yesterday before General Barr
released his letter on your lengthy investigation of collusion with
Russia by the president or anyone in his administration. General Barr
in his report also put forth his edict on obstruction of justice. I
wrote because I love my country and I value any person's ability to
address power.
I had high hopes yesterday of finding out that which I had been longing to find out over the past two years. In truth, I believe very little was answered and to the contrary the decision by General Barr to clear the president of obstruction of justice created more questions and wondered if you, the special counsel, so highly regarded by all, would have ever wanted more discord between factions of our nation to reach another fever pitch. I cannot believe that is what you wanted nor can I believe that you would have left in Mr. Barr's hands the very question we all knew he addressed months ago in order to secure the job of AG. Mr. Trump knew, I allege, that Mr. Barr would show allegiance to him and not to the greater American public good. I wondered, too, if you knew it would be handled as such and not be handled as it should have by Congress as it was in the Watergate era. You cannot be pleased with this besmirchment of your professional actions.
I implore you to clear this fog of discord and anger on both sides each accusing the other of destructive actions flying in the face of truth. Only the release of your report and testimony by you can rectify our angst. My fantasy would be for you to address us directly as others have done with other investigations. Perhaps, I am dreaming but in our great democracy it is right and proper that one dream to save this great Republic. Mr. Franklin said when a woman asked what kind of government the Founders had created he said: "a Republic if you can keep it." Keeping us in the dark with respect to this huge investigation serves only to continue keeping us apart.

Miscarriage of Justice
Attorney General Barr systematically made a decision on
Obstruction of Justice he had previously stated last June when nothing
had come out on it upping the chances of Trump picking him as his own
personal AG which Trump erroneously thinks the AG is. It was NOT NOT
NOT Barr's decision to make exonerating Trump of Obstruction. It is
Congress who should make that determination.
Muller needs to come out to clarify how this report was handled by AG Barr and this report needs to be made public--Not
in two weeks, not in two days but NOW!. This entire investigation
where it stands now is an obstruction of justice. Does it surprise me?
No. Much of US history is a miscarriage of justice whether it's
Vietnam, Iraq, voter suppression of persons of color in our time or this
investigation of the most corrupt president in US history. The people
are NEVER going to be heard but they ARE going to be hurt -- a LOT!
Elections have consequences.
If
you are as furious as I am about this miscarriage of justice of Mueller
and Barr then you WILL vote Democrat in 2020. It is the last hope of
justice this nation has!

My email to Attorney General Barr
Dear Attorney General Barr: The Mueller investigation as you know has been proceeding for 2 years. Two years the American public has been awaiting this nation's most well kept secretes about Russian collusion in the 2016 election and the president and his minions alleged involvement in it. It has cost the taxpayer 26 million dollars. It matters not whether one is a Republican or a Democrat these are our hard earned tax dollars at work. I will not try to hide my affiliation. I am a Democrat who came from a Republican household. I made the change because one word interests me -- justice. I want justice to be done and that can only be done through clarity, openness and truth. Wherever the chips may fall I am ready but I want them all to fall with nothing hidden from view. I could have thought of more just ways to do this and that is by not having a seeming ally of the president guarding the chicken coup. How will we know you have given us the document in its entirety and not let your Republican allegiance lean toward the president? I beg and implore you to do the right thing and not hold anything back if for nothing else but justice to be served. Whether it clears the president or impugns him I simply want the unvarnished truth. I am on the side of believing that you want the same as I do. I hope and pray I am right. My heart is with you for the most difficult task that lies ahead.

ANOTHER VIEW--WHAT THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION ACCOMPLISHED
My Comment:
I still want to see the Trump syndicate locked up! We'll see what the
report discovers and if it will be open for the people to see what 2
years and millions of bucks later has uncovered!
MUCH HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
By Matt Zapotosky and Rosalind S. Helderman WASHINGTON POST
WASHINGTON
— He pulled back the curtain on a sophisticated Kremlin hacking
operation — identifying by name the 12 Russian military officers who he
said sought to sway a US election.
He
exposed a Russian online influence campaign, bringing criminal charges
against the 13 members of a Russian troll farm accused of trying to
manipulate US voters and sow division through fake social media
personae.
And
he revealed how those closest to President Trump defrauded banks,
cheated on their taxes, and, time and time again, lied to deflect
inquiries into their ties with Russia.
After
22 months of meticulous investigation, charges against 34 people —
including six former Trump aides or confidants — and countless hours of
all-consuming news coverage, Special Counsel Robert Mueller Friday
submitted the long-anticipated report on his findings to Attorney
General William Barr.
Barr
said in a letter to lawmakers that he may be able to inform Congress of
Mueller’s ‘‘principal conclusions’’ as early as this weekend.
But
through legal documents and court hearings, Mueller has already
revealed rich details about the Russian attack on the US democracy in
2016 — and his investigation has triggered unpredictable ripple effects.
The
special counsel indirectly helped expose hush money that Trump’s lawyer
paid an adult-film actress, shed new light on secret foreign-backed
lobbying efforts, and helped force a reckoning at major technology
companies over how social media can be used to divide and inflame.
Mueller’s
investigation also severed the bonds between Trump and some of his most
loyal confidants, brought down a national security adviser, and spawned
spinoff criminal probes that appear likely to live on, even after the
special counsel’s office disbands.
“He’s
almost like a venture capital incubator who has spun out multiple lines
of business,’’ said David Kris, a former Justice Department national
security division chief and founder of the consulting firm Culper
Partners. ‘‘He’s shown us an awful lot, and yet I think there’s an awful
lot more to come.’’
From
the start of his investigation, Mueller and his team followed a
consistent pattern. They would toil in silence for months, and then —
often on a Friday — they would reveal indictments packed with more
detail than needed to substantiate the charges.
Mueller
struck first at the heart of Trump’s campaign, charging its former
chairman, Paul Manafort, and deputy campaign chairman, Rick Gates, with
crimes related to their work for a pro-Russian candidate in Ukraine.
The
infractions Mueller alleged were not related to possible coordination
with Russia, a fact that Trump and his allies were quick to seize on.
But the October 2017 indictment sent a message: Mueller was alleging
that the president’s campaign had been led by people who had engaged in
serious criminal wrongdoing.
Mueller
also revealed that another campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, had
secretly pleaded guilty earlier that month to lying to the FBI about his
contacts with foreigners claiming to have high-level Russian
connections.
He was one of at least 14 Trump associates who had contact with Russian nationals during the campaign and transition.
Papadopoulos’s
plea agreement described his extensive efforts to try to arrange a
meeting between Russians and the Trump campaign. And he said that in
April 2016, a London-based professor claiming to have Russian
connections confided that he had ‘‘dirt’’ on Hillary Clinton, including
‘‘thousands of e-mails.’’
That
same month, Mueller would later allege, Russian hackers had accessed
the networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the
Democratic National Committee.
The
plea deal previewed what Mueller would show over and over: Those
surrounding the president sought to hide or downplay their dealings with
Russia.
One of the persistent mysteries has been why.
In
December 2017, former national security adviser Michael Flynn admitted
that he lied to the FBI about his conversations with Sergey Kislyak, the
Russian ambassador. Flynn had claimed the two did not discuss Obama-era
sanctions directed at the Kremlin, when in fact they had.
Nearly
a year later, Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen similarly
pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his efforts to pursue a
possible Trump Tower project in Moscow.
When
longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone was indicted in January, accused of
making false statements and obstruction, he became the sixth Trump aide
ensnared by Mueller’s investigation.
Earlier
this month, Manafort was sentenced to a total of 7½ years in prison for
conspiracy and fraud. Cohen is set to start serving a three-year prison
sentence in May.
‘‘These
aren’t bit players; these are people who were part of the heart and
soul of the Trump operation,’’ said Douglas Brinkley, a history
professor at Rice University.
One
of Mueller’s core assignments from the start was to dissect exactly how
Russia sought to influence the 2016 presidential campaign.
Four
months before Mueller was appointed, the US intelligence community laid
out in a terse 14-page report how it said Russia — on the order of
President Vladimir Putin — had waged an online campaign to help Trump
win the election.
The
special counsel added to that 66 richly detailed pages of his own,
outlining in two indictments the specifics of the cyberoperations.
In
the first, which accused 13 Russians of waging a social media influence
effort that ran afoul of US law, Mueller revealed he had access to the
group’s internal communications, including an e-mail from September 2017
in which one of those charged wrote to a family member: ‘‘The FBI
busted our work (not a joke).’’
Mueller
also described how the group worked offline, visiting states to gather
intelligence on US politics and enlisting unwitting Americans to hold
rallies in support of Trump, providing the clearest window yet into
Russia’s covert efforts.
In
the second, which charged a group of Russian military officers with
hacking Democrats’ e-mails and laundering them through fake online
personae so they could be posted online, Mueller identified by name
those he asserted were responsible for the attack. The indictment
expanded considerably on the intelligence community’s assessment.
Notably,
the indictments did not accuse any Americans of conspiring with Russia,
one of the main questions the special counsel was asked to examine.
Mueller’s impact has gone far beyond the work of his own prosecutors.
His
revelations have fueled calls for greater government oversight of
Facebook, Twitter, and Google, following years in which the tech
industry grew into one of the nation’s wealthiest and most important
economic sectors while facing little regulatory scrutiny.
Mueller has also referred additional investigations to at least three US attorney’s offices.
One
of those cases, a handoff to prosecutors in Manhattan, led to a guilty
plea from Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney, for tax evasion,
bank fraud, and campaign finance violations that he told a judge were
directed by Trump.
That
case ruptured a key personal relationship for the president, spilling
into public view embarrassing details about Trump’s efforts to pay off
the adult-film actress known as Stormy Daniels and allowing prosecutors
to pry into Trump’s personal business.
The
Cohen case appears to have been the spark for yet another
investigation, this one related to Trump’s inaugural festivities.
Prosecutors in Manhattan issued a wide-ranging subpoena in February to
Trump’s presidential inaugural committee seeking records related to its
fund-raising and spending.
Meanwhile,
this summer in Virginia, prosecutors will try a former business partner
of Flynn, the former national security adviser, on charges that he
acted as an illegal agent of Turkey. The case underscores how the
Mueller probe shined new light on a lucrative and largely unseen
American lobbying industry financed by foreign interests.

Teachers Reportedly Shot ‘Execution Style’ With Pellets In Active Shooter Drill
They lined teachers up against
the wall facing it. It was a "drill" with teachers unaware of either
the drill or who the shooters were? Is 1/2 of our nation certifiably
insane? I guess the school board sanctioning of this crackpot idea is
to show how much teachers need to carry guns. Just how would that work
in a room full of screaming frightened children facing live ammunition
of terrorists?
New Zealand's response to 50 people slaughtered by a right wing Trump-influenced terrorist was to make assault weapons, AK 15s and the like, extended ammunition magazines illegal. Why does sanity exist in this small nation and insanity rules in a nation with over 350 million people and over 300,000,000 guns?
Law enforcement and the military should be the only ones to carry assault type weapons. If it were up to me I would love to repeal the Second Amendment. Fat chance. Think about it when our Founders wrote the second amendment into the Constitution they were thinking of 18th century muskets that only kings possessed. They were not thinking of modern-day military rapid fire assault weapons with extended magazines in a democratic nation.

Trump’s Acting Defense Secretary Faces Ethics Investigation Over Boeing Ties
"Patrick Shanahan, the Pentagon’s acting chief, allegedly touted his former employer while disparaging competitors."
Conflict of interest? Naturally, of course he is Drumpf's pick:
If he knew he should be tried
and executed for murder if he left this flawed plane in action!!! Over
300 human beings were killed on two similar if not exact flaws in the gd
tech system that keeps the plane straight up except it failed and the
planes went down. The pilots did not know how to bring it up because
Boeing never told them about a problem of the known flaw.
They
did not
ground the planes after the first crash and did not make a statement of
the investigation of
this flaw. The US was the last nation to ground the planes after the
second crash! Yet another Drumpf
CORRUPT BEAST IN POSITIONS OF POWER THAT CAN KILL US! Shame on
Shanahan and most of all shame on Drumf. What did they know and
when did they know it in this corruption plus administration.

Condolences to the Muslim Community
Dear Brothers and
Sisters: I want to express my sincere condolences to all those who
suffer and are in mourning because of murders in the two mosques in New
Zealand by a right wing white supremacist racist.
I,
a Jew, am struck by the senselessness of the demented perpetrator and
the deep sadness he inflicted on Muslims and, indeed, on all the world.
It is clear both of our peoples should be allies to fight
discrimination and hate wherever it exists because we both have suffered
from it. Count me as one of your allies with the hope that the better
angels of our nation and the world will come together for our mutual
security and love for the humanity of us all.
As-salamu alaykum

Boeing Crashes
Statement from the former Commissioner of Consumer Protection 2-13-18
"After the 2nd crash I could not believe that the Max planes were not grounded. And even though there was an Israeli, Israel will continue to support Trump.
Even though there is now a temporary grounding in place, can we trust President Trump, knowing Boeing’s president was one of the parade of supplicants who visited him at Mar-a-Lago, knowing that he has installed a former Boeing executive as the acting secretary of defense, and knowing Boeing gave $1 million to his inaugural committee?
That is where
we are in this country right now. The Republicans who have controlled
the federal government these past two years have been so maniacally
focused on “deregulation’’ that they refuse to see how critically
important federal safety regulations are to each of us individually and
to our economy as a whole. And in their zeal to deregulate, they have
allowed the very industries most in need of uniform safety regulations
to take over the federal agencies formed for the purpose of protecting
consumers.
The result is stark:
We no longer trust the words or actions of our federal safety agencies to protect us in the ways we have come to expect over the past many decades. The chaos in the White House and Congress over the past two years has provided a distraction from the administration’s steady and frighteningly effective destruction of consumer protections in most of our federal agencies, whose very purpose for decades has been to protect American consumers. The foxes are definitely in charge of the hen houses; the regulated control the regulators...
...Marietta S. Robinson was commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission from 2013 to 2018...."

White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots--By Adam Serwer in The Atlantic--A must read + My Comment
A long-overdue excavation of the book that Hitler called his “bible,” and the man who wrote it
https://www.theatlantic.com/ magazine/archive/2019/04/adam- serwer-madison-grant-white- nationalism/583258/
My Comment: After you read this historical
analysis of race in America, if you read it, stop and think on why our
nation today is having convulsions over race and why our nation has
become, especially on the right, so imbued with hate, cruelty and
violence with laser focus on immigration. There are historical American
roots of reasons for this. Think on the early authors mentioned by
this historian and what they said about Eugenics and the movement of it
that followed. Think then on films like Scorsese's "Gangs of New York"
or D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" starring Lilian Gish.
Think
on who composes this nation. The citizenry of this nation comes from
every continent on earth; from western Europe, Eastern Europe, the
Baltic, Russia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, South America, North
America, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is an amalgamation of gold
leading to greatness.
See our history in this piece as a rationale for what is happening now. Then resist and refuse to repeat it.

New Zealand shooter called Donald Trump 'a symbol of white identity' as he murdered 49 people
These Nationalist right wing killers exist all around the world and sadly have been inspired by the Nationalist swill of which Donald Trump is an advocate. They are cruel, fanatical and brutal. There is zero humane policy behind their beliefs and they will ultimately kill anyone who opposes their white supremacist philosophy. The fact that our so called president plays footsie with them to protect the only supporters of him -- his base -- is sickening.
Trump and his administration are a threat to all people of humanitarian, democratic and egalitarian ideals. They must be stopped -- no crushed -- electorally by the Democratic Party and those moderates in the former Republican Party who have left it after the Trump authoritarian takeover of it.
RESIST AMERICAN FASCISM AND RIGHT WING EXTREMISM OF ALL STRIPES ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Ask yourself what kind of a nation do you want to leave the generations to follow. Certainly right wing fanatical Trumpian politics of the far right would not be your choice!
Mass Shooting At 2 New Zealand Mosques 49 People Dead--The face of White Nationalism

Maybe there is a God
Beto O’Rourke Is Running For President
"The 46-year-old former congressman brought the state of Texas into play for Democrats for the first time in a generation."
OMG
I'm speechless. Maybe our national nightmare is heading to an end.
With all the evidence mounting against Drumpf, with investigations up
the ying yang of corruption everywhere including his rotten family, with
the Southern District of New York and even other states going after
those bastards that Drumpf cannot pardon, with Mueller the Great first
responders coming to the rescue there is hope, I think, for the first
time in two long very long years I am dizzy with enthusiasm.
The
west and the south are being devastated by a weather cyclonic blizzard
snow bomb yet another proof of climate change (as if we needed anymore
proof) that science is our best approximation of truth. The House has
been taken by Democrats who care about leadership, intellect and
veracity and our nation may rise again from the depths of insanity!
There are protestors in front of gd Fox No News News -- the real Fake
News!
Okay,
I know I've been enthusiastic before and it's come to naught but I
think, I hope and yes I pray this is different. Maybe just maybe there
is a God and so many infinite prayers have been heard by some force in
the universe. For once I wake up with guarded optimism.
RESIST
fascism and the hate of Trump and help Democrats anyway you can. I
don't care if it's Beto for president and some smart Dem VP or if it's
Biden/Beto whoever is the Democratic choice HELP them, contribute,
work, phone, smoke signal do anything you can to beat the Beast!

Jews and the GOP -- With all your heart, with all your soul, with all your might
It cannot be true that a man like Trump who sees the fascist Nazi white
supremacist Nationalist element of the GOP and the Charlottesville
killing as good people and further that Jews will accept him and the GOP
as the proper Party for whom to vote. This will never happen. Trump's
moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is a Trojan
Horse for which Jews will not be fooled. Trump is as antiSemitic as
those Nationalists who support him profess to be.
Trump and the Republicans many antiSemitic tropes will not be lost on most Jews. This Jew, as most Jews, will vote overwhelmingly for humane policy, humane Democrats and against hate. Jews will see and have seen Trump and his GOP self identified Nationalists as the conduits for lies, cruelty, racist inhumanity and violence. The GOP's philosophical reflection, to the extent they have a cogent one, is wholly unacceptable to most Jews. Most Jews and I know as well that the extremes on a political spectrum always spell danger for the Jew.

This man Trump who allegedly has the speeches of Adolph Hitler on his
night table and pays homage to Hitleresque authoritarians will be
repulsive to most Jews. Hitler the killer of 6 million Jews and the one
responsible for 50 million others slaughtered during WWII is, I allege,
the authoritarian image Trump in his heart of hearts wants to emulate.
Authoritarians like Kim Jong-Un and Putin who subjugate and murder
millions are the ones admired by the perpetrator of evil and the
slaughterer of hope, Trump.
Jews who make up millions of members in the ACLU, who fought along side of those who marched at the Emund Pettus bridge, the Schwerner Goodmans and Cheneys who died so that civil rights in the south would live will NEVER support in great numbers the GOP and Trump.
May Donald J. Trump and the poisonous GOP he created be crushed like no other American political Party in history has been crushed. RESIST this menace to our democratic way of life with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
