The "Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax" WAS NOT A HOAX AFTER ALL! I just got my CHECK from the Facebook / Cambridge Analytica Privacy Lawsuit. They Illegally helped Trump win the 2016 election... And that's why they're paying a massive fine!

Many people have completely forgotten about Cambridge Analytica and Targeted Russian Propaganda but... That check is proof... That Russia really helped Trump... 


In 2016, the company said that it had not used psychographics in the Trump presidential campaign.[179] Cambridge Analytica targeted potential voters with bespoke messages. Cambridge Analytica's data head, Alexander Tayler said, "When you think about the fact that Donald Trump lost the popular vote by 3m votes but won the electoral college vote, [t]hat's down to the data and the research."[180]

The head of Cambridge Analytica said he asked WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, for help finding Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails.[181][182][183]

On 18 May 2017, Time reported that the US Congress was investigating CA in connection with Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. The report alleges that CA may have coordinated the spread of Russian propaganda using its microtargeting capabilities.[184] According to the Trump campaign's digital operations chief, CA worked "side-by-side" with representatives from Facebook, Alphabet Inc. and Twitter on Trump's digital campaign activities.[185]

On 4 August 2017, Michael Flynn, who is under investigation by US counterintelligence for his contacts with Russian officials, amended a public financial filing to reflect that he had served in an advisory role in an agreement with CA during the 2016 Trump campaign.[186]

Why Hasn't Trump Been Arrested and Convicted for This Crime? 

Republican political operative Jesse Benton was convicted in federal court of funneling $25,000 from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Appeals court upholds conviction of GOP operative who steered Russian money to Trump camp

Jesse Benton played leading roles in the presidential campaigns of Ron and Rand Paul and worked briefly as Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager.


A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the conviction of veteran Republican campaign operative Jesse Benton for steering an illegal Russian contribution to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Benton, who played leading roles in the presidential campaigns of Ron and Rand Paul and worked briefly as Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager, helped facilitate an improper $25,000 payment to the Trump camp and the Republican National Committee on behalf of Roman Vasilenko, a Russian national who had approached another GOP operative, Doug Wead, about his interest in meeting an American celebrity. When he was unable to get an audience with Oprah Winfrey, Steven Seagal or Jimmy Carter, the operative suggested Trump.


Benton then arranged for Vasilenko to attend a join Trump-RNC fundraiser in Philadelphia, where the Russian took a picture with the soon-to-be president. Vasilenko used the photos to burnish his reputation in Russia “including speaking on Russian TV about President-elect Trump and his attitudes toward Russia.”

Benton — who was pardoned by Trump in 2020 for other campaign finance crimes in the final weeks of Trump’s term — was convicted by a jury in late 2022 of six felonies related to the contribution and falsified campaign finance records. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, sentenced Benton to 18 months in prison, and records indicate he is due for release in June. Both Ron and Rand Paul — the former Texas representative and current Kentucky senator, respectively — wrote letters on Benton’s behalf at sentencing, decrying the impact that a jail sentence would have on his family.

In addition to his time working for Ron and Rand Paul, Benton managed McConnell’s 2014 reelection campaign in Kentucky, helping the Senate minority leader stave off a primary challenge from his right. But Benton but left his role before the general election amid an investigation into campaign finance violations unrelated to his work for McConnell.

In his appeal, Benton argued that the government improperly charged him under a 20-year-old statute criminalizing the falsification of records to the government, rather than under campaign finance laws. But the appeals court rejected the argument.

“The government is free to exercise its discretion to prosecute under either or both statutes,” wrote Judge Karen Henderson, a George H.W. Bush appointee to the court, for a unanimous three-judge panel. The panel’s other judges, Florence Pan and Bradley Garcia, are both appointees of President Joe Biden.

Notably, the judges also ruled that McFadden did not make a mistake when he ruled that prosecutors could introduce evidence of Benton’s pardoned conviction for his earlier crimes. Though the ruling became moot when Benton opted not to take the stand, he argued that it was nevertheless an error by McFadden.

The appeals court, however, rejected that argument as well, noting that prosecutors are permitted to introduce evidence of other “bad acts” in trial under certain circumstances. And while Trump’s pardon of Benton could be seen as an “act of grace” by the outgoing president, Trump did not claim that Benton was actually innocent of the charges against him.

“Under the modern understanding of a Presidential pardon’s effect, it ‘does not blot out guilt’ or create a factual fiction that conviction never occurred,” Henderson wrote.

“[T]he face of Benton’s pardon makes no mention of rehabilitation or innocence,” the judge continued. “Benton places great weight on the accompanying White House press release but it is likewise silent as to Benton’s rehabilitation or innocence.”

Visiting all 50 states is not on my bucket list (maybe it is now) but this is fun anyway! Studies show that out of 50 states, 8 is the average number most people have visited. Sadly, many never leave the state in which they were born. Put a by all the states you have been to.
Put a where you have lived. Passing through an airport counts--but flying over doesn't. The average is 8 for Americans.

Tucker Carlson - Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire


Fox "News" fined $787.5 Million for Intentional Lying



Don't be a Sucker, Unplug Tucker


Impeach "Justice" Thomas
and on FaceBorg: Comments about Fox "News" being Fined $787.5 Million Dollars for Intentionally Lying:

OUTRAGEOUS!!!
No apology on FOX for willful misinformation. Just... 'some facts wrong' .... and 'continued commitment to highest journalistic standards! Shameful!
I was very disappointed. Do you think all of those texts that they had to bring out in the discovery process will make their way into the vision of those who watch Fox? Maybe somehow they will be exposed to that info on how Fox lied to them


... there is some modicum of pain inflicted with a $787 million settlement.... I like the precedent it sets for ALL the other lawsuits against them..... pretty soon, it could even add up to very painful expensive experience, lol...


Trial was Not even mentioned on Fox "News". Told a Trumper friend and she said they are the only ones who tell the truth!

When I hear DeSantis making comments like Disney can take a hike, I wonder if he has ever even stepped foot on the property! This is not just a factory that can pick up and move to Mexico like the Oreo factory. This place is huge! It's a city itself! This is 4 huge theme parks, 2 waterparks, 22 huge sprawling hotel resorts, acres and acres of wildlife refuge, 4 fire departments, solar plants, a recycling plant, a garbage complex, 2 LARGE bus maintenance facilities, 400 buses, Many many boats, a sky liner transport system, a monorail system, a power plant, several water and sewer facilities, a very large animal care facility for Animal Kingdom park where they care for all the animals, two train tracks with trains, all the backstage areas for the cast members and where all the magic is created out of the sight of guests. A tunnel under the Magic Kingdom. A whole area for other things like offices and all the small things like all the radios and cell phones issued to all the cast members. All the vehicles and places for all of them to be maintained and parked. The parking lot at the Magic Kingdom is larger than Disneyland in CA. Just the parking lot. The trams that take people from the parking lot for the Magic Kingdom to the Ticket and Transportation Center that is across the lake from MK. And ALL of the parks and resorts have large parking lots. So large you need trams to take people from one side to the parks. All the carefully cultivated landscaping that costed a FORTUNE to create all over the 47 square mile complex. And I'm SURE I'm forgetting something. Disney World is not just a factory. It is a CITY. It's TWICE as large as Manhattan in NY and as big as San Francisco CA. It straddles a large portion of two counties. Disney World also owns 4 or 5 apartment complexes that the young people from overseas, who work for Disney World, rent from Disney to stay in. They are located just a few miles off of the 27,000 acre main Disney World complex. And about 5 miles away is an office area with high rise office buildings for Disney World in a community called Celebration. It's on the map. AND because Disney promised to keep 30% of their land as a wildlife refuge and it is starting to exceed that on the main complex, they purchased MORE land just a few miles away, not for the public, but JUST for wildlife to fulfill their promise to the state. ALL of the things I mentioned were built, and are owned and operated at DISNEY's EXPENSE and are on the Disney property! Disney has contributed to the roads around Disney World as a partner with FDOT (Florida DOT). They have funded countless local projects mostly focused on charities having to do with children. They have been a VERY good and responsible neighbor in this area! And they employ 72,000 cast members giving this area a good tax base and so many jobs! And that doesn't include all the businesses and contractors who do business in this area only because of Disney being here! All the off property hotels, restaurants, tourist trap retail stores, the bus companies etc. Without Disney the largest employer in Florida, my area would become a ghost town and our property values would plummet. That in turn would not be good for Florida. The man is a FOOL and an idiot. And I believe he is doing this just to make a name for himself and get attention.

Let’s take one example that McCarthy and Republicans are getting ready to propose: the imposition of “work requirements” for the tens of millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid for health insurance or food stamps to feed their families. If you’re looking for big government, work requirements are it.
This is just one way that the push to have government spend less money can wind up making government more punitive and intrusive in people’s lives.
Now, let’s consider some of the other things Republicans have been doing lately:
Making it illegal for women to get abortions in Republican-run states, including trying to ban minors from traveling to another state to get an abortion
Trying to stop women in every state from accessing medication abortions
Outlawing medical care for transgender youth that their parents want for them
Outlawing medical care for transgender adults
Banning drag performances
Banning websites Republican legislators don’t like
Banning books from schools and public libraries
Forbidding discussions of systemic racism in schools and universities
Banning diversity efforts in higher education
Attempting to make it illegal for fund managers to consider environmental, social and governance goals in some investment decisions
Making it unlawful for liberal cities in conservative states to pass their own laws according to their residents’ wishes
Going after individual companies that don’t toe the conservative line

Most of the street fentanyl in the U.S. is distributed by the Sinaloa cartel, which operates in every U.S. state and in 47 countries. This cartel used to be led by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who began serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison in 2019 after Mexican authorities arrested him and extradited him to the U.S. Now four of his sons run it: Ovidio, Iván, Joaquín, and Alfredo, who are known as the “Chapitos.” DEA administrator Anne Milgram said they took their father’s “global drug trafficking empire” and “made it more ruthless, more violent, more deadly—and they used it to spread a new poison, fentanyl.”
According to the DEA official, the Chapitos started the manufacture and trafficking of street fentanyl and are behind the flood of it into the U.S. in the past 8 years. It is a global business. While illicit drugs used to be plant-based, newer ones like street fentanyl are made with synthetic chemicals. The cartels import the chemicals necessary to make fentanyl from China into Mexico and Guatemala. Then they manufacture the drug, distribute it in the U.S., and launder the money, much of it through cryptocurrency.

"SAVE ACT" A certified copy of a birth certificate typically costs between $10 and $35 for the base certificate fee if ordered directly from a state or county vital records office. However...

There is a problem if the name on your birth certificate does not match the name on your driver's license... For example: Traditionally Married Women do not match... Trump's main plan is to keep women from voting because they should be at home making babies and raising a family and not worry they're pretty little heads about questions or thinking... Just let their husbands do that... 

JD Vance's birth certificate does not match his driver's license because he changed his name three times... Who Does That??? 

Why is there a bullet hole in the forehead of BJ Vance?

Voting by Mail is Great! I find that hiring a LYFT Taxi to go to the polling booth would cost about $50.  I simply would not spend that money... 

IF THE "SAVE ACT" PASSES:  What documents would actually qualify? A valid U.S. passport or passport card, a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID... 

A standard driver's license alone does not qualify in most states. A REAL ID alone does not qualify. A military ID alone does not qualify. A tribal ID alone does not qualify...

For most Americans, qualifying requires one of the following: a valid U.S. passport or passport card, a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID, a naturalization certificate, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. If your name does not match across those documents, additional paperwork such as a marriage certificate would also be required. https://www.vote.org/save-act/

"A Fierce Green Fire" movie: a of the ecology movement...
http://www.afiercegreenfire.com

A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle for a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement – grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. Directed and written by Mark Kitchell, Academy Award-nominated director of Berkeley in the Sixties, and narrated by Robert Redford, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, Isabel Allende and Meryl Streep, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2012, has won acclaim at festivals around the world, and in 2013 begins theatrical release as well as educational distribution and use by environmental groups and grassroots activists.
Inspired by the book of the same name by Philip Shabecoff and informed by advisors like Edward O. Wilson, A FIERCE GREEN FIRE chronicles the largest movement of the 20th century and one of the keys to the 21st. It brings together all the major parts of environmentalism and connects them. It focuses on activism, people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future – and succeeding against all odds.

We are not going to hand the reins of running this state over to a reality TV star, a radio talk show pundit nor a real estate broker. I agree that Gavin has made mistakes, however, they do not rise to the level of being fired from office. Vote NO on the Republican Recall!

Sign the petition: Support National Popular Vote Now. END THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Hillary Got MORE VOTES but we got Trump. Al Gore Got MORE VOTES but we got Bush Jr.

Clearly The Electoral College is a BAD system that Allowed The Two Worst Presidents Ever to be Elected! Write to Your Elected Representative and SIGN THIS PETITION...

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-the-petition-support-national-popular-vote-now

It's time to ensure the candidate with popular support is actually elected. How? With the National Popular Vote Compact.

What's required? States just pass a law awarding their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote. Once states that add up to 270 electoral votes join, then we guarantee that the popular vote winner always becomes president!

We're already 60 percent of the way there. Let's up the pressure.

Sign the petition to all 50 state governments: Join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact so that in the United States we can finally elect our presidents by national popular vote.

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
