The Trump Foundation Lawsuit: Donald, Eric, Donald Jr and Ivanka accused of Criminal Fraud, Misuse of Charity Funds and Illegal Conduct.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/14/politics/new-york-lawsuit-trump-foundation/index.html
The New York attorney general on Thursday sued President Donald Trump's charitable foundation along with its directors -- the President, his sons Eric and Donald Jr. and daughter Ivanka -- alleging they violated state and federal charities law.

Attorney General Barbara Underwood alleges a pattern of persistent illegal conduct over more than a decade that includes extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign.
"As our investigation reveals, the Trump Foundation was little more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump or his business to nonprofits, regardless of their purpose or legality," Underwood said.

The attorney general is asking a court to dissolve the Trump Foundation and wants $2.8 million in restitution plus additional penalties.

She seeks to ban Trump from serving as a director of a New York not-for-profit for 10 years and the remaining board members -- Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric Trump -- from serving for one year, or until they receive fiduciary training.

According to the lawsuit, Trump signed a false filing dated October 20, 2016, saying that the foundation held the fundraiser to raise money for veterans organizations.

"This statement was false because, in reality, the Fundraiser was a Trump Campaign event in which the Foundation participated," the suit said.

The lawsuit also says Trump perjured himself when he signed the foundation's incorporation paperwork because of the IRS prohibition of charities participating in political campaigns.

Underwood says Trump wrote a foundation check for $25,000 that was donated to the political committee for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in September 2013. The contribution was not noted on the foundation's federal tax return.

The suit notes the Trump Organization said the donation was "an inadvertent mistake."

Great Book:"Leadership: In Turbulent Times" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. What we can learn from Great American Presidents. Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson

https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Turbulent-Doris-Kearns-Goodwin/dp/1476795924 Biography
In "Leadership", Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely—Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)—to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their first entries into public life, we encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope.

Even Now when Everyone Agrees that the War In Iraq was Astonishingly Stupid Idea... Candidates are criticized for Protesting Against The War.

It’s 2018 and Candidates Are Still Running Attack Ads Against Iraq War Protesters...
Perhaps it’s time for a new strategy.

Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally, both current members of Congress, are locked in a tight contest in the race to succeed retiring Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake. McSally, who touts the endorsement of President Donald Trump despite refusing to say whether she voted for him, has represented a Tucson-area seat since 2014, and long before that was the first woman ever to fly combat missions as an Air Force fighter pilot. Sinema has grown increasingly conservative since coming to Congress in 2012, but she got her start in Arizona politics as a Green Party spokesperson and vocal anti-war activist.

Republicans #RunAway from Trump and his Flying Monkeys... Peter Kopf of Delaware resigns from GOP Leadership...

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/407478-top-republican-in-delaware-resigns-from-party-in-fiery-letter
Top Republican in Delaware resigns from party, blasts GOP Senate nominee. Peter Kopf, who has served in the state party's executive committee since last year, explained his decision to resign in a letter to his fellow members last week that was obtained by the news site.

“Mr. Arlett lacks the character and integrity needed to lead our Ticket and receive my support,” wrote Kopf, according to The News Journal.

What if Trump declares himself "Glorious Leader" and stays in the White House as CZAR? Do elections count anymore? He got fewer votes than Hillary in 2016.

Trump’s Final Days: One day, whether next year, or in 2021, or in 2025, he’ll be asked to leave the White House. What if he won’t go?

What if, after having moved into the White House and gotten comfortable, Donald Trump refuses to check out when his term ends?

Preposterous, you say. No president, not even Trump, would dare to defy 200-plus years of political tradition—not to mention the Constitution—to illegally overstay. But how sure can we be that our norm-busting president won’t attempt to shatter this inviolable standard, too? He and his lawyers have already advanced the specious legal idea that the chief executive can’t be charged with obstruction of justice, thereby placing him above the law. Who’s to say that Trump’s legal advisers might construct some pretext—a national security crisis or charges of election fraud—that would place him above the Constitution and cement his place in the Oval Office?

What if Putin Likes Wants him to remain... as a obedient servant?

But they don't want truth... they just want this anti-choice whackjob confirmed before the Midterm elections... when We The People throw them out of office...

There’s one person Christine Blasey Ford says was in the room when she was allegedly sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh while they were in high school ― and he appears to publicly back Kavanaugh’s denial that any sexual assault took place.

Yet Republicans are adamant about not calling conservative writer Mark Judge to testify at a hearing set for Monday, resisting Democrats’ demands for additional witnesses, beyond Blasey and Kavanaugh ― even though Judge has backed the Supreme Court nominee’s claim that the accusation is false.

Police Murder ANOTHER Unarmed Black Man. "I was confused..." says Amber Guyger, Killer Cop

https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/9/18/17874868/ted-cruz-beto-orourke-botham-jean-shooting-dallas

The shooting of Botham Jean, a black man who was killed by an off-duty police officer in his own home in Dallas earlier this month, has made its way to Texas’s Senate race.

Democrat Beto O’Rourke recently agreed with calls by Jean’s family and some in Dallas’s broader community for Dallas officer Amber Guyger to be fired. “There has to be a full accounting for how young black men continue to be killed in this country without accountability, without justice, without these full investigations, without respecting their civil rights,” O’Rourke said during a Friday campaign rally. “This cannot continue.”

Sen. Ted Cruz had a different response, arguing that people were rushing to judgment on the case and that O’Rourke and other Democrats were “quick to always blame the police officer.”

“It may well be that two lives were destroyed that night,” Cruz said. “That obviously the individual that was at home in his apartment and found himself murdered — that is horrific and a nightmare.”

He added, “She may have been in the wrong and if a jury of her peers believes that she behaved wrongly then she’ll face the consequences. But I don’t think we should jump to conclusions.”

Hillary Clinton and Helen Keller could soon be out of Texas classrooms... Moses gets to stay in.
The Texas Board of Education’s vote to revise its curriculum is raising eyebrows.

The Vast Majority of American Voters OPPOSE Kavanaugh for Supreme Court. Republicans "Shoot themselves in the Foot" by rushing his confirmation thru The Senate.

Did you ever notice that there were 200 people protesting against Kavanaugh during the hearings but there were ZERO people protesting in Favor? That's a HINT... Elections are coming and Republicans are going to lose.

Another Republican Swamp Monster: Secretary of Agriculture Perdue...

Trump originally promised a 12 Billion Dollar Bailout for Farmers, now it's 6 Billion for Soybeans only... Promises Made, Promises Broken...

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/23/politics/usda-agriculture-department-emails-food-industry-lobbyists/index.html The USDA, under the Trump administration, has moved to roll back a series of regulations opposed by industry, to the chagrin of health and food safety advocates.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has formed a 14-person committee to study how much salt and potassium is safe for Americans to eat. The study is known as the review of the Dietary Reference Intakes for sodium and potassium. The USDA is one of six sponsors for the committee and its study.

Emails from late January show that USDA official and former industry lobbyist Tkacz, other top USDA appointees and a team from Food Directions, which has lobbied for the National Restaurant Association and Grocery Manufacturers Association, got together for an in-person meeting. Following that meeting, the group's senior director of food policy writes to USDA'S Tkacz, "As promised, attached to this email is the list of potential names and bios, all of whom, we feel, would bring more balanced perspectives to the DRI committee in order to ensure robust debate of all of the science. This updated list includes the two additional names I mentioned in the meeting."

Harm to the environment. Perdue has been called a climate-change skeptic, and the Environmental Working Group released a statement Wednesday night saying, “It’s certainly hard to imagine that a former fertilizer salesman will tackle the unregulated farm pollution that poisons our drinking water, turns Lake Erie green, and fouls the Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.” He fought the EPA’s attempts under George W. Bush to enforce the Clean Air Act, and once wrote this in National Review: “Liberals have lost all credibility when it comes to climate science because their arguments have become so ridiculous and so obviously disconnected from reality.” When Georgia was hit by an epic drought in 2007, his response was partly to summon lawmakers to a prayer vigil on the Capitol’s steps.

Since the US Military has not actually defended the Country since 1945, there is no real NEED for people to become soldiers... It's an all Volunteer Army now and it's easy to let some OTHER brainwashed fool go fight for corporate profit...

The Military/Industrial Complex needs Forever-wars in order to increase sales... Can anyone explain why we are fighting in Afghanistan? The "Bad Guys" (Taliban) are located in Pakistan... a different country... 9/11 was done by people from Saudi Arabia... also a different country... and Osama Bin Laden is Dead... President Obama killed him in Pakistan.

Remember History? We have fought many wars since WW2 and none have been about defending the USA. The Mission was always Corporate Profit... using some lame excuse... Fighting Communism... Fighting Terrorism... Fighting the Monsters that Live under Your Bed...
