<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As the SARS-CoV-2
pandemic continues to explode, hospital systems are scrambling to intensify
their measures for protecting patients and health care workers from the virus.
An increasing number of frontline providers are wondering whether this effort
should include universal use of masks by all health care workers. Universal
masking is already standard practice in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other parts
of Asia and has recently been adopted by a handful of U.S. hospitals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We know that wearing a
mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from
infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19
as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19
that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes
or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction
in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for
widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">may be different,
however, in health care settings. First and foremost, a mask is a core
component of the personal protective equipment (PPE) clinicians need when
caring for symptomatic patients with respiratory viral infections, in
conjunction with gown, gloves, and eye protection. Masking in this context is
already part of routine operations for most hospitals. What is less clear is
whether a mask offers any further protection in health care settings in which
the wearer has no direct interactions with symptomatic patients. There are two
scenarios in which there may be possible benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The first is during
the care of a patient with unrecognized Covid-19. A mask alone in this setting
will reduce risk only slightly, however, since it does not provide protection
from droplets that may enter the eyes or from fomites on the patient or in the
environment that providers may pick up on their hands and carry to their mucous
membranes (particularly given the concern that mask wearers may have an
increased tendency to touch their faces).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">More compelling is the
possibility that wearing a mask may reduce the likelihood of transmission from
asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic health care workers with Covid-19 to
other providers and patients. This concern increases as Covid-19 becomes more
widespread in the community. We face a constant risk that a health care worker with
early infection may bring the virus into our facilities and transmit it to
others. Transmission from people with asymptomatic infection has been well
documented, although it is unclear to what extent such transmission contributes
to the overall spread of infection.<sup><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372?query=TOC"><span style="border: none; color: #0b4f82;"><span style="border: none;">1-3</span></span></a></span></sup><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">More insidious may be
the health care worker who comes to work with mild and ambiguous symptoms, such
as fatigue or muscle aches, or a scratchy throat and mild nasal congestion,
that they attribute to working long hours or stress or seasonal allergies,
rather than recognizing that they may have early or mild Covid-19. In our
hospitals, we have already seen a number of instances in which staff members
either came to work well but developed symptoms of Covid-19 partway through
their shifts or worked with mild and ambiguous symptoms that were subsequently
diagnosed as Covid-19. These cases have led to large numbers of our patients
and staff members being exposed to the virus and a handful of potentially
linked infections in health care workers. Masking all providers might limit
transmission from these sources by stopping asymptomatic and minimally
symptomatic health care workers from spreading virus-laden oral and nasal droplets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What is clear,
however, is that universal masking alone is not a panacea. A mask will not
protect providers caring for a patient with active Covid-19 if it’s not
accompanied by meticulous hand hygiene, eye protection, gloves, and a gown. A
mask alone will not prevent health care workers with early Covid-19 from
contaminating their hands and spreading the virus to patients and colleagues.
Focusing on universal masking alone may, paradoxically, lead to more
transmission of Covid-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more
fundamental infection-control measures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Such measures include
vigorous screening of all patients coming to a facility for symptoms of
Covid-19 and immediately getting them masked and into a room; early
implementation of contact and droplet precautions, including eye protection,
for all symptomatic patients and erring on the side of caution when in doubt;
rescreening all admitted patients daily for signs and symptoms of Covid-19 in
case an infection was incubating on admission or they were exposed to the virus
in the hospital; having a low threshold for testing patients with even mild
symptoms potentially attributable to a viral respiratory infection (this
includes patients with pneumonia, given that a third or more of pneumonias are
caused by viruses rather than bacteria); requiring employees to attest that
they have no symptoms before starting work each day; being attentive to
physical distancing between staff members in all settings (including
potentially neglected settings such as elevators, hospital shuttle buses,
clinical rounds, and work rooms); restricting and screening visitors; and
increasing the frequency and reliability of hand hygiene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The extent of marginal
benefit of universal masking over and above these foundational measures is
debatable. It depends on the prevalence of health care workers with
asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic infections as well as the relative
contribution of this population to the spread of infection. It is informative,
in this regard, that the prevalence of Covid-19 among asymptomatic evacuees
from Wuhan during the height of the epidemic there was only 1 to 3%.<sup><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372?query=TOC"><span style="border: none; color: #0b4f82;"><span style="border: none;">4,5</span></span></a></span></sup> Modelers
assessing the spread of infection in Wuhan have noted the importance of
undiagnosed infections in fueling the spread of Covid-19 while also
acknowledging that the transmission risk from this population is likely to be
lower than the risk of spread from symptomatic patients.<sup><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372?query=TOC"><span style="border: none; color: #0b4f82;"><span style="border: none;">3</span></span></a></span></sup> And
then the potential benefits of universal masking need to be balanced against
the future risk of running out of masks and thereby exposing clinicians to the
much greater risk of caring for symptomatic patients without a mask. Providing
each health care worker with one mask per day for extended use, however, may
paradoxically improve inventory control by reducing one-time uses and
facilitating centralized workflows for allocating masks without risk assessments
at the individual-employee level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There may be
additional benefits to broad masking policies that extend beyond their
technical contribution to reducing pathogen transmission. Masks are visible
reminders of an otherwise invisible yet widely prevalent pathogen and may
remind people of the importance of social distancing and other
infection-control measures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 15.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is also clear that
masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans
that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety,
well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be
strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during
times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with
data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask, particularly in
light of the worldwide mask shortage, but it is difficult to get clinicians to
hear this message in the heat of the current crisis. Expanded masking
protocols’ greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety,
over and above whatever role they may play in reducing transmission of
Covid-19. The potential value of universal masking in giving health care
workers the confidence to absorb and implement the more foundational
infection-prevention practices described above may be its greatest
contribution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This is exactly why I don't bow down to the deep state, nor
jump off that bridge they keep telling me to jump off of. Yes, social
distancing works. Yes locking down an entire nation works, but only if you have
a cure to stop recurrence. Yes, stay home if you are sick. No, face masks don't
work. They are the band used to mark us and make us yield to their will. I know
I am going to get a rash of crap from this post, but the only reason I could
find for healthy people to wear a mask it that it is our badge that we are
caving to the will of the deep state, globalist control. We are told that a
mask only protects the other person from your germs, so why do doctors and
nurses wear them when going to an infected area? If they don’t protect the
worker, they wouldn’t be wearing them, would they? The recommendation to wear
masks by the deep state, globalist CDC is to protect the OTHER person,
according to them. It was put in place in my opinion to shame and control us by
having our neighbors scold us for not wearing one. Perhaps they are testing us
to see if we will turn each other in; perhaps when they come for our guns?
Maybe to mark us, as the Germans did the Jews before taking them to be
murdered. I, for one, am not buying any of it. [Andrew Shecktor]</div>

Let’s get one thing out of the way right at the start: if
you’ve come to this article wondering if you should wear a mask to protect
society at large from infection, this article won’t answer that question for
you. The CDC is <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/health/cdc-considering-recommending-general-public-wear-face-coverings-in-public/2020/03/30/6a3e495c-7280-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html" target="_blank" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/health/cdc-considering-recommending-general-public-wear-face-coverings-in-public/2020/03/30/6a3e495c-7280-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html">considering
the questio</a>n because that’s what responsible public health agencies do as
evidence and circumstances change, and I’m awaiting their guidance like
everyone else. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What this article will do is discuss why the question is so
complicated—yes, it really is—what factors are at play, and what you will want
to consider in deciding whether to wear a homemade mask. It remains true that
severe <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/hospital-makes-face-masks-covid-19-shields-from-office-supplies" target="_blank" title="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/hospital-makes-face-masks-covid-19-shields-from-office-supplies">shortages</a>

millennium ago. It would be another week and a half before the WHO would even

a pandemic</a>. Both the science and the pandemic itself have shifted and are
continuing to shift. That article’s information was true at the time, and most
of it remains true now. It addressed one main question: should you wear a mask
to protect yourself from infection? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The question a month
ago was will they protect you, the wearer, and the answer is still, they
probably won’t protect you,” Eli Perencevich, the University of Iowa infection
prevention specialist I spoke to for the last article, said when I spoke to him
today about the topic. One of the biggest reasons they won’t protect the
average wearer is that most don’t wear them correctly—even when trained—and
unconsciously engage in counterproductive behaviors, such as touching the mask
frequently. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why, then, do healthcare workers wear them? Aside from
the fact that they (usually) wear them correctly (and have people telling them
when they don’t), there are other reasons I’ll get to—hang tight. Further, it’s
still possible future evidence could change what we know now and reveal that
wearing masks does protect wearers. Currently, that evidence still doesn’t
exist. </div>

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of

<br />
This is a bio-engineered virus, and has been predicted for some time. Yes, it is a truly dangerous disease, not to be taken lightly, but I am pretty certain this was either created or weaponized to derail Donald Trump and the Republican Party by eliminating all rallies and campaign events, causing a severe loss of funding. The Republicans will lose the Senate, but Trump will still win. Then, as soon as he is put in office for his second term the Democrats will impeach and remove Trump (now that they have both Houses), then impeach and remove Pence. It will be tough to prevent this from happening.<br />
<br />
The virus originated in the U.S. and was sold to a research lab in Wuhan China. Was it intentionally released in retaliation for Trump's sanctions or was it accidentally released initially? Doesn't matter, the results will be the same.<br />
<br />
I have spent 4 years researching information provided by 4 whistle blowers, 2 now "missing" and one in seclusion.<br />
<br />
One whistle blower lost her job as a science journalist for taking action against the deep state plot. In her lawsuit in 2009 against Baxter Pharmaceuticals whistle blower Jane Burgermeister alleges that a manufactured flu pandemic "is part of a long term plan by the [deep state shadow government] syndicate, who have built large numbers of FEMA concentration camps with incinerators and prepared mass graves in states such as Indiana and New York to quarantine people and dispose of the bodies of the people who are killed by the bio-weapons attack." I interviewed her 3 years ago for my book, just published, on the same topic, "Dark Water: Game Over."<br />

In 2016 we presented all the delegates and their allegiances on this page. I am not sure where this project is headed this year.<br />
<br />
I do know, however, that the Democrats are conspiring to keep Bernie Sanders out of the running, and that in Pennsylvania the GOP is looking turn the state blue again. There is also possibly a conspiracy to usurp Trump at the convention in August and put in another candidate (looking like Marco Rubio.)<br />
<br />
The PA GOP set up a confidential list of delegates back in June of 2019. They were to be endorsed by the state GOP and have all their expenses paid.<br />
<br />
The 2016 Delegation and others have been working to kill this effort and put in place delegates who support Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
The movement was set in place by turncoat Ted Christian and his cohort Bernie Comfort. They put the PA GOP National Committeeman, convicted felon and deep state globalist Bob Asher in charge of selecting the delegates. He also offered to pay all their expenses. Their goal it to see that Donald Trump does not win Pennsylvania, not for the benefit of the Pennsylvanian's, but for their own deep state nefarious purposes.<br />
<br />
Rather than reinvent the wheel, those who wish to vote for Trump supporting delegates in Pennsylvania can find the list and those endorsed by the 2016 Delegation at:<br />

First, it really adds no rights that victims don't already have. Second, it usurps the constitutional rights of the accused. Remember, VERY many people are falsely accused, particularly when the alleged crime involves a domestic dispute or is a crime of passion. Also remember YOU may become the victim to a false accusation. This bill takes away the right of the accused to deposition of the alleged victim. This is a guaranteed right in the U.S. Constitution! Please READ the law, and Vote NO in November!</span><br />

The Montana Constitution requires a separate vote by Montana voters on each section that is amended. Therefore, CI-116 is unconstitutional because only one vote occurred for multiple amendments. Under the new CI-116 amendments, victims’ rights will be compromised and defendants’ rights will be eroded. In addition, Constitutional guarantees such as a fair trial, due process, effective counsel, the right to know and the presumption of innocence will be compromised.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Family members would be ‘victims’ with a group right to be fully informed and involved in every decision. This removes the right of privacy for the traditional victim if, for example, a rape victim is deciding whether to obtain an abortion, or when family members pressure an abused spouse to drop charges and return home. CI-116 robs victims of the decision whether and when to involve their families, and instead gives that power to the state. The new definition leaves victims less empowered and less safe.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This blocks the ability of the defendant to understand the charges brought against them and obstructs the press and the public’s ability to be informed.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

They are. Enforcement must improve and those responsible for enforcement must be held accountable. Creating a duplicative law in no way ensures that enforcement of these statutory protections will improve.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

It will impact every community in the state and, seven months after it passed, we still do not know how much it will cost to implement. The ballot initiative had no fiscal note and as an unfunded initiative, it never had a funding mechanism in place to finance its implementation. Now, local governments must respond to CI-116’s undefined staffing, compliance and procedural requirements. To do this, state and local taxes must be raised or services cut to fund Marsy’s Law.

This will create an administrative quagmire. Furthermore, the initiative gives victims the right to be “present” and “be heard” before bail or release is granted, even for misdemeanors. By requiring notice to all victims for bail hearings, CI-116 effectively prohibits cite-and-release signature bonds and “set amount” bail procedures. This means that a Montanan who wrote a bad check at a Pizza Hut would remain in jail, without an option to post bail, until anyone identified as a “victim”—even a corporate representative from Pizza Hut—could exercise their right “to be heard.” |<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This time we can’t point a finger at elected officials. We passed this law, actually a constitutional amendment, in November, with 66 percent of the voters saying yes. Now Montana crime victims have new constitutional rights in our state. That sounds reasonable, even desirable. Except for the unintended consequences. In Cascade County, we’ve learned that Marsy’s Law may mean that law enforcement will no longer release the identities of homicide victims. In the past, as is the case with all deaths, the deceased’s family members are notified and then that person’s name is released publicly.”<br />Because the law requires notice be provided to <u>all</u> alleged victims, the press and the public’s constitutional right to know is irrevocably compromised.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

If an alleged victim (in particular for a specific intent crime like assault or fraud) is presumed the victim of a crime before a jury returns a verdict, then the accused is not presumed innocent. The presumption of innocence and right to a fair trial are further diminished by allowing crime victims’ counsel to participate at each and every legal proceeding, which has the potential to further clog our judicial system. As a result, both Montana and Federal Constitutional law may require that charges against the defendant be dismissed or may require a second trial — the victims’ rights notwithstanding. This could cause a case where the defendant is guilty to be overturned, harming the victim. That, obviously, is the last thing a crime victim needs.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Oprah 2020: Do we need another glitzy amateur in office?</h1>

If being a watchable TV personality selling fantasy qualifies one to be president, we might as well prepare ourselves for the Kardashian dynasty.</h2>
<div>
<div class="speakable-p-1 p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Oprah Winfrey’s stirring Golden Globes’ speech electrified America and left some of her closest friends hinting she just might run for president. I, for one, hope she doesn’t.</div>
<div class="speakable-p-2 p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
She would not be the first relatively inexperienced political figure tilted toward the Oval Office by a well-delivered speech. In 2004, Barack Obama, then a 42-year-old state senator from Illinois, brought tears to many watching the Democratic National Convention with his uniquely American story. It began with a Kenyan father who “<a href="http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=76988" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration-line: none;">grew up herding goats</a>.” Four years after that speech, the story climaxed with Obama’s election as president.</div>
<div class="p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Oprah also has a powerful, personal story. Hers begins with a mother who came home “<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/08/entertainment/oprah-globes-speech-transcript/index.html" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration-line: none;">bone tired from cleaning other people's houses</a>” to an impressionable young daughter watching TV. On that small screen, Oprah witnessed the spectacle of a black man — an impossibly elegant Sidney Poitier — winning, for the first time ever, the best actor Academy Award. Her heart filled with joy and wonder.</div>
<div class="p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The most beautiful part of Oprah’s Sunday speech was her message about ordinary people. She sang the praises of domestics, farm workers, laborers, waiters, athletes and soldiers. Oprah does that extremely well. She helps people see the potential and beauty in themselves and in others; and in helping us to see that, she elevates us all. She is bigger than this silly notion that only she, or some other celebrity, can lead us to paradise — or even should try.</div>
<div class="p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
As Trump has proved, celebrity glibness and glitter don’t mean there is gold in their promises. There is more likely disappointment. And why would Oprah want to be a party to that?</div>

<br />
[Bloggers note: Why doesn't this group of sick losers just pack up and take their show to Canada... Or better yet, Syria?]<br />
<br />
In what seems to be a regular routine, the View trashed President Donald Trump following his first international trip to several Middle Eastern countries, a visit to the Vatican, and participation in the NATO conference.<br />
<br />
Whoopi Goldberg specifically highlights the exchange between Trump and German Prime Minister Angela Merkel, echoing Merkel’s comments that “Europe can’t depend on the United States anymore.”<br />
<br />
Goldberg angrily remarks, “I don’t care if his supporters care,” Trump is “endangering the world.”<br />

Briebart<br />
by Daniel Nussbaum11 May 2017<br />
<br />
ABC has cancelled its Tim Allen-starring sitcom Last Man Standing after six seasons, the network confirmed Wednesday.<br />
<br />
ABC and production partner 20th Century Fox TV had reportedly usually negotiated over licensing fees for the comedy series before each season; this time, according to Deadline, there was no negotiation, and the network simply pulled the plug on the show.<br />
<br />
The sitcom starred Allen as Mike Baxter, a marketing director for a sporting goods store who happened to be politically conservative, and his relationship with his wife Vanessa and his three teenage daughters. The show was one of the few (if not the only) broadcast network sitcom to appeal to conservative, blue-collar America, a true oddity since Allen has noted in interviews that the program was written by liberal writers.<br />
<br />
A sixth-season episode found Baxter blasting politically correct “microaggressions” and drawing up a speech for his daughter’s graduation: “To quote future Nobel Prize winner Lee Greenwood, ‘I’m proud to be an American.’ Not just because I have the right to speak my mind or carry an awesome gun, but because it’s the land of opportunity. Some whiny babies might not think so, but in America, if you work hard, anyone can be successful.”<br />
<br />
Allen himself is also conservative, and has in the past expressed support for President Donald Trump. In March, the actor told Jimmy Kimmel he had attended Trump’s inauguration and that conservatives in Hollywood need to be “real careful” when discussing their political beliefs.<br />
....<br />
<br />
Last Man Standing fans took to Twitter Wednesday and Thursday to urge another network, perhaps Netflix or CMT, to pick it up, while some accused the ABC of axing the show for political reasons.<br />

<br />
Some conservatives say it’s time to begin attacking Sen. Elizabeth Warren, hoping to dent the liberal icon’s political ascent as she begins a book tour widely seen as a testing ground for a 2020 presidential bid.<br />
<br />
Republicans have been divided over how to handle Ms. Warren, a first-term senator from Massachusetts and one of the Democratic Party’s biggest draws. Some prominent leaders have sought to boost her profile, figuring she’d be an easier opponent to defeat in 2020 than others.<br />
<br />
But America Rising Political Action Committee says Ms. Warren needs to be taken down a few pegs, so the group is beginning an initiative to put her under the microscope as she kicks off a tour in New York Tuesday for her latest book, “This Fight Is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America’s Middle Class.”<br />
<br />
“Our goal is to make sure there is a lot of negative information flowing around Sen. Warren,” said Colin Reed, executive director of America Rising PAC. “We view this book launch as the soft launch of her presidential campaign, and what I don’t want is for her to have a 2018 re-election to the Senate that she then parlays into the start of the presidential run without any roadblocks in her way.”<br />

03/05/17 02:10 PM EST<br />
<br />
A conservative radio talk show host slammed the Obama administration on Sunday over<br />
<br />
claims of spying and wiretapping, saying, “the evidence is overwhelming.”<br />
<br />
Mark Levin, who is also a constitutional lawyer, told “Fox & Friends” that the focus should not be on President Donald Trump’s tweets alleging the wiretapping, it should be about the Obama administration overreaching with its spy program.<br />
<br />
“The evidence is overwhelming. This is not about President Trump’s tweeting. This is about the Obama administration spying, and the question is not whether it spied,” he said.<br />
<br />
“The question is who they did spy on and the extent of the spying that is the Trump campaign, the Trump transition, Trump surrogates.”<br />
<br />
Levin listed his reasoning and offered evidence, including saying his sources tell him “the FBI sought and was granted a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court” order.<br />
<br />
“This is spying.”<br />

<br />
[This guy really has to go - Along with George Soros!]<br />
<br />
ET on line reported: "Obama's backwards hat was the talk of Twitter, with one [liberal] tweet reading, ‘Obama got his hat to the back like it's 1990 and trump isn't president. GET YO A** BACK HERE… with respect, sir.'"<br />
<br />
Liberals don't have to worry: Obama intends to be the most politically active ex-president in modern times. He's tossing out the old rule book that says former presidents should remain silent for a decent interval to give their successors in the White House time and space to govern.<br />
<br />
Spurred into action by his two significant others—Michelle and Valerie Jarrett—the 55-year-old ex-president is preparing to lead the progressive charge against President Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
"He's planning to make speeches and speak out forcefully against Trump," said one of his friends. "He's going to fight Trump's executive actions, fire up the leftwing resistance to the Trump administration, and pave the way for the Democrats to retake Congress.<br />
<br />
"He's been given assurances by George Soros and other liberal money men that they will make a mighty war chest available for his crusade against Trump," the friend continued.<br />
<br />
"Among Democrats, there is no one on the national scene with the status and popularity to match Obama's. He's a towering figure on the left, with a constituency that is angry and begging for a leader to steer them in the right direction.<br />
<br />
"And he has every intention of answering their call."<br />

Democrats boycot HSS, treasury nominees<br />
<br />
(CNN)In a surprise turn of events, Senate Democrats announced Tuesday morning that they are boycotting a committee vote on two of President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees, drawing fury from Republicans across the aisle.<br />
<br />
The Senate Finance Committee was set to vote on the nominations of Rep. Tom Price to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Steve Mnuchin for Treasury Secretary.<br />
But minutes after the vote was scheduled to take place, Democrats on the panel convened an impromptu news conference to announce that they refused to participate in the proceeding, all as their Republican colleagues were waiting in a hearing room down the hallway.<br />

<br />
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday was gracious to first lady Michelle Obama, yet he countered her suggestion that the United States has lost "hope" since Trump's November victory, saying Obama must have been talking "about the past."<br />
<br />
"Michelle Obama says there is no hope,” Trump said at a rally in Alabama. “I assume she was talking about the past not the future. I honestly believe she meant that statement differently than the way it came out.”<br />
<br />
Alabama Supreme Court Justice Tom Parker was even more blunt during his opening remarks for Trump, speaking directly to Obama: "Yes, Michelle, we have hope again."<br />
<br />
Obama said in an excerpt of her final White House interview, conducted by Oprah Winfrey: “We feel the difference now. ... Now we’re feeling like what not having hope feels like. … What do you do if you don’t have hope, Oprah?”<br />

Featured Contributor<br />
The Political Insider<br />
10/31/2016<br />
<br />
Judge Andrew Napolitano has long been leaning towards the possibility that Hillary Clinton could face a recommendation of indictment by the FBI over her handling of classified information.<br />
<br />
Napolitano has previously stated that Clinton is at “the vortex of a perfect storm of legal misery.”<br />
<br />
Now he’s upping the ante, however, saying he’s not only 100% certain that the FBI has enough evidence to indict the former Secretary of State, but that he’s 100% certain there is also enough to convict her.<br />
<br />
“The evidence of her guilt is overwhelming,” Napolitano told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly.<br />
<br />
He also revealed that the FBI is in the final stages of their investigation, suggesting a decision could be right around the corner.<br />
<br />
Will we actually see the untouchable Clinton’s pay for their alleged crimes?<br />

Updated 2:13 PM ET, Fri October 28, 2016<br />
(CNN)<br />
<br />
FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers Friday the bureau is reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal email server, a surprise development 11 days ahead of the election.<br />
<br />
After recommending earlier this year that the Department of Justice not press charges against the former secretary of state, Comey said in a letter to eight congressional committee chairmen that "recent developments" urged him to take another look.<br />
"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote the chairmen. "I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."<br />
Comey said that he was not sure how long the additional review would take and said the FBI "cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant."<br />
Law enforcement sources say the newly discovered emails are not related to WikiLeaks or the Clinton Foundation. They would not describe in further detail the content of the emails. It's also unclear whether the emails in question are from Clinton herself.<br />
Clinton's campaign learned of the news while they were aboard a flight to Iowa.<br />

<br />
The U.K.-based Smartmatic company has provided voting machines for 16 states, including important battleground states like Florida and Arizona. Smartmatic Chairman Mark Malloch-Brown is a former U.N. official and sits on the board of Soros’ Open Society Foundations.<br />
<br />
If Malloch-Brown’s Soros ties weren’t troubling enough, he also has ties to the Clintons through his work at two consulting firms.<br />
<br />
Leaked emails courtesy of WikiLeaks have shed further light on the deeply incestuous relationship between Soros and high-level Democratic Party players. The discovery that the man in control of voting machines in 16 states is tied directly to the man who has given millions of dollars to the Clinton campaign and various progressive and globalist causes will surely leave a bad taste in many voters’ mouths.<br />
<br />
Malloch-Brown’s ties to Soros stretch far beyond his position at OSF. In the mid-1990s, Malloch-Brown was part of the Soros Advisory Committee on Bosnia. Malloch-Brown is also a member of the executive committee of the International Crisis Group, an organization he co-founded in the 1990s and built primarily with funds from George Soros’ personal fortune.<br />
<br />
Whilst working for the U.N., Malloch-Brown rented an apartment from Soros when on assignment in New York. In 2007, Soros appointed Malloch-Brown vice president of his Quantum Funds, vice chairman of Soros Fund Management, and vice chairman of the Open Society Institute (the former name of OSF).<br />
<br />
If Malloch-Brown’s Soros ties weren’t troubling enough, he also has ties to the Clintons through his work at two consulting firms known for their Clinton connections.<br />
<br />
Malloch-Brown was a partner with Sawyer-Miller, the consulting firm where close Clinton associate Mandy Grunwald once worked. She ran the firm’s communications contract with the 1992 Clinton campaign. Malloch-Brown was also a senior adviser to FTI Consulting, a firm at which Jackson Dunn, who spent 15 years working as an aide to the Clintons, is a senior managing director.<br />
<br />
Malloch-Brown’s ties to George Soros and the Clintons are enough to elicit fear over Smartmatic’s involvement in the U.S. election — but when combined with Smartmatic’s dismal track record of providing free and fair elections, their involvement in the U.S. presidential election becomes downright terrifying.<br />
<br />
A 2006 classified U.S. diplomatic cable obtained and released by WikiLeaks reveals the extent to which Smartmatic may have played a hand in rigging the 2004 Venezuelan recall election under a section titled “A Shadow of Fraud.” The memo stated that “Smartmatic Corporation is a riddle both in ownership and operation, complicated by the fact that its machines have overseen several landslide (and contested) victories by President Hugo Chavez and his supporters.”<br />

undeserving as Hillary Clinton run for U.S. President. While she stands on the
threshold of being elected to the White House, she quite literally belongs in a
prison cell. This article lays out the case against her, chapter and verse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is a controversial character. But there’s no denying the emails he has picked up from inside the Democrat Party are real, and he’s willing to expose Hillary Clinton.<br />
<br />
Now, he’s announcing that Hillary Clinton and her State Department were actively arming Islamic jihadists, which includes the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria.<br />
<br />
Clinton has repeatedly denied these claims, including during multiple statements while under oath in front of the United States Senate.<br />
<br />
WikiLeaks is about to prove Hillary Clinton deserves to be arrested.<br />
<br />
JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, WikiLeaks has become the rebel library of Alexandria. It is the single most significant collection of information that doesn’t exist elsewhere, in a searchable, accessible, citable form, about how modern institutions actually behave. And it’s gone on to set people free from prison, where documents have been used in their court cases; hold the CIA accountable for renditions programs; feed into election cycles, which have resulted in the termination of, in some case—or contributed to the termination of governments, in some cases, taken the heads of intelligence agencies, ministers of defense and so on. So, you know, our civilizations can only be as good as our knowledge of what our civilization is. We can’t possibly hope to reform that which we do not understand.<br />
<br />
So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates. So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails. There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection, that we have released, just about Libya alone.<br />
