America's Vast Fascistic Media Ignore Dem Crimes and Misdemeanors!!

He who must not be named: How Hunter Biden became a conversation-stopper
BY JONATHAN TURLEY, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR at the Hill:
Hunter Biden: The mere mention of his name seemingly triggers the vapors among cable TV hosts and their guests.
When President Trump turned to the Bidens and Ukraine in a speech, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace cut off the coverage, declaring she had to protect the listeners: "We hate to do this, really, but the president isn't telling the truth." When Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) tried to answer a question about the Ukraine scandal by referencing the Bidens, "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd angrily told him not to "gaslight" the nation.
The Bidens, simply, are not what well-bred people discuss in polite company, apparently. Indeed, many journalists seem to be channeling not Edward R. Murrow, the fabled CBS newscaster, but Florence Hartley, the author of "The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness" in 1872. Hartley warned her readers to "avoid, at all times, mentioning subjects or incidents that can in any way disgust your hearers."
For news shows on MSNBC, CNN and other cable networks, nothing is more disgusting than the mention of what Hunter Biden actually was doing in Ukraine.
For those brave enough to read on, I wish to dispense with one threshold issue: I was critical of claims over the last three years of "proven" crimes and impeachable offenses in the Russia investigation. However, the first day that Trump's Ukraine call was disclosed, I stated that — if a quid pro quo were proved — the alleged self-dealing with military aid would be an impeachable offense. My point: Raising concerns over Hunter Biden does not mean you are excusing Trump's actions.
What is most remarkable about the paucity of coverage of Hunter Biden's dealings is the conclusory mantra that "this has all been investigated." Many TV hosts prefer to focus on President Trump's dubious claim that former Vice President Joe Biden forced the firing of Ukraine's chief prosecutor to protect his son. I, too, fail to see compelling evidence to support Trump's charge.
There is, however, that other problem of Hunter Biden landing a windfall contract with one of Ukraine's most corrupt figures after his father took charge of potentially billions in U.S. loans and aid for Ukraine. That is what no one seems to want to discuss.
Indeed, the Biden campaign has been remarkably open in demanding that news organizations stop airing interviews or publishing articles about the allegations. Instead of calling it "fake news" (which is virtually copyrighted by Trump), the Biden campaign calls such coverage "conspiracy theories."
Thus, the campaign wrote to various networks, demanding that they stop airing interviews on the scandal with figures such as Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. Kate Bedingfield, deputy manager of the Biden campaign, also denounced The New York Times for publishing an op-ed by author Peter Schweizer on the controversy. The campaign apparently expected the Times and the networks to fall in line and bar others from even expressing a view.
Most recently, the campaign fired off letters to Facebook, Twitter and Google, demanding that they take down Trump ads referencing the Hunter Biden contracts. This normally would be viewed as unbridled hubris and arrogance — except that many TV news hosts are doing precisely what the campaign has demanded.
When Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) raised the issue on CNN, host Erin Burnett cut him off: "There is no evidence of Joe Biden doing anything wrong, and this is something that has been looked into, and I think — I want to make a point here — I think what we need to talk about right now is what did the president right now do or not do." Other CNN hosts have repeated the line of "no evidence of wrongdoing" like a virtual incantation.
Whether the energy company involved with Hunter Biden was fully investigated by Ukraine is hardly a measure of culpability. Ukraine is widely considered one of the more corrupt places on Earth, where paying the children and spouses of powerful people is routine. Indeed, it is quite common in this country, too — and I've criticized that practice for more than 30 years in Republican and Democratic administrations alike.
Yet Ukraine was a virtual gold rush for Washington's elite. Paul Manafort made millions working for Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine's corrupt former president. Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig and his law firm tapped into Yanukovych, too. Tony Podesta, Democratic powerbroker and brother of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, and Vin Weber, a former Republican congressman, were implicated in Ukraine dealings.
Hunter Biden's quest for Ukrainian gold took him to one of Yanukovych's most controversial and corrupt associates, Mykola Zlochevsky, who leveraged his post as minister of ecology and natural resources to build a fortune. Before fleeing Ukraine, Zlochevsky paid Hunter Biden and several other Americans to be directors of his energy company, Burisma Holdings. Hunter Biden had no experience in the field — but he did have a notable connection to the vice president, who publicly has bragged about making clear to the Ukrainians that he alone controlled U.S. aid to the country. A stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry also was asked to serve as a director but reportedly declined and warned Hunter Biden not to do it; Biden didn't listen. He later told The New Yorker that "the decisions that I made were the right decisions for my family and for me."
His decisions certainly were profitable, but they were not "right" as an ethical matter for himself or his father.
Joe Biden has insisted he never spoke with his son about his foreign dealings — an incredible but categorical statement. The then-vice president flew with his son on Air Force Two on an official trip to China but suggests they never discussed his son's deal seeking $1.5 billion in investments with the state-backed Bank of China. During the trip, Hunter reportedly introduced his father to Chinese private equity executive Jonathan Li, who was part of that deal. Yet Biden insists he was never told of any business linkage or dealings.
If true, Biden was, at a minimum, willfully blind not to ask his son about potential conflicts or controversies. But it does not appear to be true, at least in part — because Hunter Biden has said he informed his father about the Ukraine deal.
All of this should be of some interest to the media, which has exhaustively — and rightfully — pursued foreign deals by the Trump family. And there is no reason why the media cannot pursue allegations against both the Trumps and the Bidens.
That, however, would counter the narrative that there's "nothing wrong" with Hunter Biden's dealings and that it's all a "lie" that's best to ignore. As Hartley explained in 1872, good manners dictate that you "never attempt to disparage an absent friend. It is the height of meanness."

Leftism: THE CANCER THAT IS KILLING TODAY'S AMERICA!
The Left to America's Children: Your Past is Terrible, and Your Future is Terrible
By DENNIS PRAGER at the Stream
A rule of life is that everything the left touches it ruins: art, music, Christianity, Judaism, race relations, male-female relations, universities, high schools, elementary schools, late-night comedy, sports, liberty, journalism, the Boy Scouts, national economies, language and everything else it influences.
The left, not liberalism. (I have written a column and done a PragerU video on the differences between liberalism and leftism.)
To this list, we can now add childhood and children.
The left robs children of their innocence and has helped produce an unprecedented number of anxious and depressed young people.
Most of us are aware of how the left prematurely introduced sexuality into young children's lives under the guise of "sex education." That was just the beginning. Then the left changed same-sex college dorms, which had been the norm throughout American history, into coed dorms on virtually every American campus. Then came coed bathrooms. And just in case college students were not thinking about — or having enough — sex, the left introduced sex columns in college newspapers and "sex week" on virtually every college campus. One is more graphic than the other.
After reading a college newspaper sex column or experiencing the college's sex week, a student could easily conclude that without having experienced a menage a trois and mastering cunnilingus or fellatio techniques, life is neither exciting nor fulfilling.
There are many reasons a greater percentage of college students are more depressed than ever before. But the immersion in loveless and romance-less sex is undoubtedly one of them. That is what contributes to the especially high rate of female depression on campuses.
The left hypersexualized colleges and now laments that colleges are all filled with a "rape culture."
The left has devalued marriage.
An unprecedentedly large percentage of young Americans are not married, and more of them than ever do not consider marriage important. The left has indoctrinated a generation (or two) of young Americans into believing that marriage is unimportant — career alone is the road to a meaningful life for both men and women. Throughout American history, until the left took over the culture and universities beginning in the 1960s, it was a given, as Frank Sinatra sang, that "love and marriage … go together like a horse and carriage."
The left has devalued having children.
The left is ambivalent and often hostile to people having children. That's why people on the left have the fewest children of all political and religious groups.
The latest reason not to have children is that much of humanity is doomed if global warming is not immediately reversed. But since the 1970s, the left has offered other reasons not to have children including that the world would not produce nearly enough food and other basic resources to sustain the growing world population. Thus began the zero population growth (ZPG) movement.
Help us champion truth, freedom, limited government and human dignity. Support The Stream »
But the left's ambivalence over having children isn't just hysteria over too many people, lack of food or global warming. Many people on the left (again, unlike liberals or conservatives) just don't particularly want kids. Children are a nuisance: They interfere with one's career; they cost too much; and dogs and cats are perfectly acceptable substitutes.
In sum, the left doesn't particularly like children.
The left is ruining the childhood of many children by depriving them of the joys and excitement of growing into men and women.
The left has invented a new idea in history: that human beings are not born male or female but are "assigned" their sex at birth by sexist parents, physicians and a society that is not yet "woke" to this "fact." In schools throughout America, teachers are told to no longer call their students "boys" and "girls," just "students," lest they impose a gender identity on them. Mattel has released a doll that has no gender. A New York Times columnist whose photo shows him with a beard has requested that his readers refer to him only as "they," as he believes gender is useless.
Teenage girls who declare themselves boys are allowed to have their breasts surgically removed without their parents' permission. Divorced parents who tell their 5-year-old male child who feels he is a girl that he is a boy risk losing custody or parental rights if the other parent affirms the child is a girl. Girls who compete in sports against boys who identify as females and complain that they lose unfairly are attacked as "transphobic."
The left has convinced innumerable young Americans that their past is terrible and their future is terrible.
The left tells American children that their past — the American past — is shameful and their future is even worse: They will likely die prematurely as a result of global warming.
Whatever the left touches it ruins. The latest example is children.

Courageous Fan Waves Her Trump 2020 Flag!
The Frightened Old Woman with Her Trump 2020 Flag
By Lloyd Marcus at American Thinker:
Scouting a location to shoot a promotional video for my Trump Train 2020 song, my wife Mary and I spotted a lovely home with a huge Trump 2020 flag waving in the breeze on a flagpole. After knocking on the front door and introducing myself, I assured the elderly white homeowner that we would not show her address in our video.
Still, she declined our request to allow Mary to shoot video of me with her Trump 2020 flag in the background. She was terrified of being persecuted by Trump haters. It is outrageous that citizens are afraid to publicly express support for the president of the United States. The atrocious reality is Democrats and fake news media continue to instigate hate and violence against Trump voters.
Folks, we are in the process of losing our country right now, not somewhere down the road. Democrats are aggressively repealing your constitutional right to free speech. New York City will fine you $250,000 for saying "illegal alien."
The only thing standing between Democrats and fake news media implementing their insane job-killing, anti-American, socialistic, and anti-Christian agenda nationwide is Donald J. Trump in the White House.
Fake News Media and Democrats' hate-driven obsession with removing Trump from office is so over-the-top that it has literally become an episode of the "Twilight Zone." Irrefutable proof that Trump did not pressure the Ukraine president to interfere in our election is being ignored. Democrats are moving forward with impeaching Trump based solely on Adam Schiff's easily proven lies about what Trump said to the president of Ukraine.
Democrats have put all their eggs to win the presidency in 2020 into their Impeach-Trump basket. Their game plan is to sell voters their absurd lie that Trump is so corrupt that they had to impeach him.
The truth is that Trump has done nothing wrong. As a matter of fact, Trump is determined to restore power, as written in the Constitution, to We the People. He has built an unprecedented long list of remarkable achievements for America. If Trump is not reelected, Democrats will begin reversing his achievements, repealing your individual liberties, and abandoning Trump's America first agenda.
This is why my Trump Train 2020 song is so important. It is not just an ordinary nice song. I sincerely believe it was divinely inspired for such a crucial time as this. My Trump Train 2020 song will inspire, encourage, and embolden you. The song lets people know the great things Trump has done and is doing to save and restore our beloved country. Keeping his promises, Trump truly is making America great again.
Here is a bit of insider info about the recording session of the Trump Train 2020 song. My music producer and I had trouble finding Maryland singers and a recording studio willing to record a song supportive of Trump. We eventually found a recording studio. Singers from various states responded to my clarion call. We had singers black and white, old and young. Fourteen-year-old Justice, whose mom brought her all the way to Maryland from Florida, did a great job belting out her solo line, "Can you hear the whistle sound!" I love this kid.
After our awesome recording session which felt like a family reunion, the owner of the recording studio emailed me. He raved about how much fun he had and how it was a pleasure working with such a great group of nice people. Clearly, we Trump supporters were not the deplorable racist haters characterized by fake news media and Democrats.
Patriots, I cannot express upon you how important it is that we counter fake news media and Democrats' relentless 24/7 flooding the airwaves with lies designed to deceive, intimidate, and dispirit Trump and his supporters. To win in 2020, Democrats and fake news media hope to destroy Trump's character in the minds of a majority of voters.
It is infuriating that Democrats' resistance to Trump has become so deranged that the elderly white woman with the Trump 2020 flag was afraid to risk her home being seen in my video.
I shot my one-minute promotional video for the Trump Train 2020 song at the beautiful Potomac river in West Virginia.
To be reelected, president Trump desperately needs and truly appreciates the support of everyone who loves America.

Fascists On Attack in once civilized MINNEAPOLIS, MN!
LAST NIGHT, WE SAW FASCISM IN THE STREETS [UPDATED]
by John Hinderaker at PowerLine:
Last night President Trump conducted a fabulously successful rally at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Scott had a great experience that included meeting the President and hearing his reporting praised repeatedly by President Trump. The 20,000 who were lucky enough to get into the Target Center had a wonderful time; by all accounts it was one of Trump's best rallies.
But outside the arena, things were quite different. Thousands of lawless, violent Democrats "protested" Trump's appearance by committing assault, among other crimes. They battled police officers. They attacked Republicans leaving Target Center. They set bonfires and burned patriotic regalia. They carried the flag of the defunct Soviet Union.
They spat on peaceful Trump supporters. They assaulted an uncounted number of normal citizens leaving the Target Center. They struck a woman across the head with a piece of lumber. They waved a sign that said, "Blue Lives Don't F@$king Matter." The Minneapolis Chief of Police reported, "Objects containing liquid believed to be urine were hurled at some of my officers along with bottles and rocks. Police horses were also assaulted by protesters striking them with sticks."
These leftists are identical to the Nazi Brownshirts of the 1930s. But make no mistake–they represent today's Democratic Party. A sitting Democratic State Representative, Aisha Gomez (DFL-Minneapolis), was seen among the fascists, dressed in black like an Antifa hoodlum. And Minneapolis's boy Mayor, Jacob Frey, who expressed regret that he could not legally prevent President Trump from visiting Minneapolis, and then tried to do it anyway, issued an order to the Minneapolis Police Department not to use chemical irritants on the mob of criminal Democrats. [UPDATE: We have a disagreement between Boy Mayor Frey and the mob: Frey denies issuing such an order, putting him at odds with fellow Democrat Gomez.] And not a single local Democrat has condemned the violence and disorder that took place last night.
Please go here and view the many videos and other tweets assembled by Katie Fulkerson of Center of the American Experiment, the Minnesota organization (run by me) that fights the fascism that we saw in the streets of Minneapolis last night. The facts are very, very bad for the Left and for the Democratic Party. We need to bring those facts to light before it is too late.

That Ukrainian Call….and Deep State "friends?"
DEAD MEN DON'T NEED IMPEACHMENT. Swamp in Panic: Trump In Danger.
The Betrayal of Donald Trump—by one he helped most
by Howell Woltz at Pickering Post
REMEMBER, MR. PRESIDENT. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED. I'LL BE BACK TO SCREW YOU LATER!
The man on the left flew to New York to beg for Donald Trump's support in his 2012 run for President against Barack Hussein Obama.
He came to Trump again when he ran for the U.S. Senate after somehow losing the presidency to a Socialist Muslim no one had ever heard of before. Trump graciously helped him–again.
But Mitt Romney is a sorry politrickster. He let Manchurian candidate, Barack Obama, smoke him in the presidential race….but he won a seat in the Senate.
So Trump backs Romney twice, but when last week's flap over a phone call exploded, Romney was the first to condemn the President. Say what?
What had Trump done? As Executive of the United States, back in August, he had a friendly conversation with the newly elected anti-corruption Ukraine President, Volodomyr Zelenskyy, congratulating him on his election and encouraging him to look into sinister activities involving Ukraine in the American election…back in 2016.
What could possibly be wrong with that? And Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said he was already doing just that.
So when hapless Mitt Romney condemned President Trump before even reading the transcript of the call, I immediately knew something was up. When I read it, there was absolutely nothing even interesting, much less amiss.
Why was Romney worried about Ukraine?
It was clear there was more to the story, but absent Romney's baseless and immediate attack, I must admit that we never would have investigated. But boy-oh-boy, I'm glad we did.
BACKGROUND-In May of this year (2019) the Russia collusion narrative was proven a hoax by the Mueller Report. Considering the fact that all 18 of the 'investigators' were devout Hillary fans and contributors tells me that if something was 'there' we would know.
President Trump then ordered his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani—former 9/11 Mayor of New York and famous prosecutor of mobsters—as well as his Attorney General, William Barr—to find the origins of this expensive hoax that locked down the first years of his presidency. A fair question.
So just yesterday we learned Giuliani and Barr had travelled to meet with foreign leaders whose nations assisted in the attempted coup, by-passing the corrupt institutions of government that had participated in it. Why? It's rather obvious.
The CIA, NSA, DNI and FBI were compromised. It was actually these corrupt pieces of the U.S. apparatus of State that led the coup and solicited foreign nations to play a role, so this was a wise—but completely unexpected – move by Trump.
That's his specialty, and that is what will save him.
By May of 2019 it was also known that Democrats solicited Ukraine to 'dig up dirt' on the Trump campaign—which has now been admitted by Ukraine—using these same U.S. government entities as conduits to assist the DNC (Democrat National Committee) using a Ukraine-American spy, Alexandra Chalupa.
This was all confirmed by POLITICO in its rather amazing article published January 11, 2017, (they are extremely anti-Trump) but it's out there. The Ukraine admitted what was done, and apologised. (https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446)
We also showed you a video last week of Vice President Joe Biden. He was bragging to the Council on Foreign Relations back in 2014 about extorting the Ukraine government into firing its Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin.
As part of the corruption President Trump asked the new Ukraine president to 'look into', Biden forced the Ukraine through extortion (in the amount of $1.2 billion) to shut down the investigation of his son, Hunter, and Ukrainian company, Burisma Holdings. (See FAKE NEWS MEDIA TRUMPED AGAIN, September 24th, The Pickering Post, but you'll have to search for the video now…surprise, surprise…it was taken down after posting…hey Harry, we're being noticed!)
Among the corruption being investigated, Burisma Holdings was paying Rosemont Seneca, (owned by Vice-President Biden's son, Hunter), $166,000 per month to 'consult.' His partners were Secretary of State, John Kerry's step-son, and FBI murderer/Boston Gang Boss, Whitey Bulger's nephew. Hmm. Nothing to see here.
In addition, the Vice President's son, Hunter, was being paid $50,000 each month, to sit on the board of the natural gas company as its 'legal advisor' despite having no experience in Ukrainian law or natural gas.
The Democrats clearly expected Trump to either let all this go like most RINOs would; or leave it to their Deep State operatives to 'investigate'.
The Dems knew their Deep State rats would prevent any meaningful review. They would make sure that Trump's promise to 'get to the bottom of it' was enough to satisfy pissed-off Trump supporters without really getting near the bottom.
Meanwhile, they would get away with it as they had The Russia Hoax, the Hillary Clinton cover up, and the rest, including rapes, murders, and worse–treason.
No Dem ever pays for corruption in Washington, DC. Everyone knows this.
But there is a new sheriff in town folks
Donald J. Trump is not a RINO or DC insider. He's a tough-guy billionaire from Queens, New York and a street-fighter.
When the Democrats realised last week that Trump was actually heading up his own investigation rather than leaving it to their Deep State apparatchiks—and doing so directly with the leaders of Ukraine, Australia, and Italy (and perhaps the U.K.)—they did the political equivalent of starting a fire in a theatre.
House of Representatives Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, announced impeachment proceedings against the president just three hours after stating in a speech that she would not. Speaker Pelosi had zero evidence, cause, stated reason and lacked the required vote of the House of Representatives to do so, but announced it anyway.
Strangely enough…and what caught my attention… Mitt Romney jumped on the "Impeach Trump" train that same day.
How did Nancy go from "There will be no impeachment proceedings," that morning in New York to announcing impeachment proceedings that afternoon when she got back to Washington, DC?
Meet the Grand Master of the Deep State in America. Admitted Communist, John Brennan, who has some serious explaining to do now that his attempted coup of U.S. President Donald Trump has been exposed..and continues!
So why did Romney want to shut down any investigation of Ukraine's role as well?
That's the question that got this investigation started and it's shocking. Romney's National Security Advisor, Joseph Cofer Black, sits on the Board of the same Burisma Holdings that was being investigated for corruption back in 2014, and the Vice President and Obama Administration demanded be shut down. Why? Because Burisma was/is their vehicle for corrupt practices in Eastern Europe.
And CIA Director, John Brennan's 9/11 Deep State partner, Cofer Black, is still the link to all that goes on there. In fact, I can state unequivocally that Burisma is the centre of Ukraine corruption and the Democrats' shadow organisation for corrupt activities. I live in Eastern Europe (Poland) and my sources are first-hand.
And I know this matters greatly to Mitt Romney as he is not yet done with politics. If Black is busted, it will reflect on Romney, and it only makes sense that Cofer Black is the Deep State 'plant' in case Romney ever rises above polishing knobs in the U.S. Senate.
Romney wants to run for President again in 2024 and if he wins, Cofer Black will be back with his fingers on the strings either as DNI or CIA Chief of Corruption.
Burisma Holdings is the hub of U.S. Democrat activities to corrupt both Ukraine and American politics and there is proof. Ukraine President Zelenskyy's win surprised both Brennan and Black's Deep State ops as much as Trump's did in 2016 in America.
So who is this Cofer Black guy?
Joseph Cofer Black, joined the CIA in 1974 and rose to be Director of The National Counterterrorism Center, before joining Mitt Romney. If it were not for researching this article, I admit, he was unknown to me as well. What a revelation.
Black was also the Head of Counterintelligence who somehow missed the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, though according to The Economist, 16 foreign leaders and heads of intelligence agencies warned him it was not only going to happen but when. Oh well. And nothing was done about Cofer Black for this, indicating this is what the Deep State wanted.
But it goes deeper. John Brennan and this guy, Cofer Black, are how 19 terrorists got into the U.S.A. to attack the U.S. on 9/11. Editor Harry will jump on me or make Nurse Ratched give me a dose of Castor Oil if I say something I can't prove, so I'm just going to quote the CIA whistleblower at the Jeddah, Saudi Arabia CIA staff hearing, who is the source:
"According to Freedom Outpost, Brennan was the CIA station chief in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, when the 9/11 hijackers were given visas to travel to the United States.
"In September 2014, a whistleblower named Greg Ford, a former military intelligence officer, told Ground Zero Radio's Clyde Lewis that the CIA had objections to the approval of those visas but Brennan actually overrode them."
The second in command of the CIA station was directly quoted by the whistleblower as saying, 'No way, absolutely we are not going to stamp those visas.'
But CIA Saudi station chief, John Brennan, overrode the officer in charge and ordered the visas to be stamped and issued. They came, they learned to 'take off' an airplane but said they were not interested in 'how to land.'
Cofer Black ignored the reports about this strange behaviour, though it was made, I know as a fact, from the people who made it. I was also a Florida-based pilot in 2001.
You know the rest of the story. America lost over 3,000 citizens that day, and I sat for an hour trying to get past the terrorist pilots' apartment in Coral Springs, Florida.
Freedom Outpost concluded, "If it weren't for John Brennan, 9/11 may never have happened." I'd add to that, if Cofer Black weren't the head of Counterterrorism, Brennan could not have gotten his men in to do the job. It took (these) two to tango. That's an opinion, not news, but I'll bet money I don't have, that I'm right as it's a no risk bet. These are partners in crime.
"Joseph Cofer Black – the former Director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center (1999-2002) and Ambassador at Large for counter-terrorism (2002-2004). Mr. Black is an internationally recognized authority on counterterrorism, cyber security, national security, and foreign affairs." (from Burisma's website)
Brennan definitely had help in this. These terrorists had to have someone at the highest level in U.S. Counterintelligence to let their mission come to pass and succeed by ignoring all the warnings.
They even took their flight training near my home and I remember being locked down in Coral Springs, FL after 9/11 where they lived for three days while the FBI went through their apartment just a few blocks away.
And this is where Romney's man, Joseph Cofer Black, comes in. He was the partner in crime of John Brennan, (the Deep State Master), as well as being Mitt Romney's National Security Advisor. Bad news for Mittens.
And Cofer Black is the reason Romney is desperate to have President Trump's real investigation shut down. Also FACT
I thought we were talking about Ukraine?
Yes, we are. But we just learned all of this through researching why Mitt Romney wanted to hide what happened in Ukraine and was willing to trash President Donald Trump to do it. That makes this all relevant and pretty damn interesting to me.
As Obama's CIA Director, John Brennan was also in charge of the dirty tricks campaign against then-candidate, Donald Trump. FACT
All of that has now been uncovered by investigative reporters Gregg Jarrett (The Russia Hoax) and Peter Schweizer (Secret Empires) with enough references to satisfy Editor Harry and Nurse Ratched.
Amazingly, the plot was actually laid by the Deep State in 2014 before they even knew Trump would be Hillary's foil in 2016.
I found that part pretty amazing.
The Ukraine/Russia story was created for whomever was the candidate to run against Hillary Clinton.
For John Brennan, it really didn't matter to him who ran on the Republican side. He just cared that whomever it was, lost to the Deep State's choice – Hillary Clinton.
Brennan, Black, James Clapper, James Comey and a host of others were prepared to make sure of it.
It was exposed just last week that Brennan flew under a fake passport to avoid detection on his trip to set this up in Eastern Europe as early as 2015. There is no explanation for a CIA Director to do this unless what he was doing was illegal.
Now let's go back to Joseph Cofer Black. He is Romney's Ukraine man, and Brennan's long-time associate who is still covering here in Eastern Europe (from where I am reporting) for the Deep State in America.
Brennan came back Stateside from the Saudi Arabian CIA office the year after arranging for the 9/11 attackers to get into America. So what did he do? He took over CIA Counterintelligence from his partner, Cofer Black. Convenient, eh?
The Counterintelligence guy who 'missed' the 16 warnings on 9/11, and the guy who granted the attackers visas to get into the U.S. to take pilot training and do it, swap jobs, perhaps to prevent detection? Well it worked…until now.
And history repeats. The tag team is back at it
Barack Obama chose (or was told) to make John Brennan his CIA Director. Brennan then sets up the Russian hoax through the Ukraine government and intel operatives covertly in 2015 to target any candidate who might face Hillary Clinton in 2016. FACT
Once Trump became the Republican candidate, President Obama authorised illegal spying on Trump's campaign, we now know, because it was labeled a 'counterintelligence operation' which can only be authorised by a President. FACT
The script for the Ukraine/Russia hoax was actually written back in 2007 to use against Republican candidate, John McCain. It was temporarily deployed but then shut down and recycled when it was clear RINO McCain would get his ass handed to him by Obama in 2008 without CIA involvement. FACT
So, Brennan decided to use the script in 2016. The Republican's candidate would be targeted using the same plan, according to one of Obama's own secret service agents, now author, Dan Bongino, in his new book, Exonerated (just out last week).
The original script was written by Fusion GPS owner, Glenn Simpson. That's the same man and company who would be paid $12 million by the Clinton Campaign, The Democrat National Committee and the FBI in 2016 for "the Steele dossier" that caused the Russia Hoax against Trump—though actually written years earlier. Glenn Simpson simply changed the names. FACT
Unfortunately, there was a problem. Socialist Bernie Sanders was leading the Democrats side over the Chosen, Hillary, and had to be eliminated.
To achieve this, the Clintons literally did a forced takeover of The Democrat National Committee and its funds.
They immediately cut off Hillary's rival, Bernie Sander's campaign (as admitted by former DNC Director, Donna Brazille, on television) eliminating Bernie from the race.
John Brennan then began leaking the 'dossier' to Congressional Democrats, including then-House Speaker, Harry Reid and their media co-conspirators to begin the take down of the Republican candidate, Donald J. Trump.
Ironically, Brennan also leaked the fake dossier to Sen. John McCain, it's original target, and McCain leaked it back to its original source—the FBI—to apply for warrants to spy on Trump using their own laundered information.
The FBI literally paid for the fabricated information, leaked it to the media and politicians who hated Trump, then used their reports and that dossier when fed back to them, to get warrants to spy on Trump.
But then the kimchee hits the fan for real. Trump gets elected! So, who jumps over to Ukraine to protect the conspiracy from being found out?
Brennan's 9/11 partner, Joseph Cofer Black.. Within days of Trump's inauguration was immediately put in place in Ukraine to prevent anyone from talking.
The Board of Burisma Holdings—the same centre of Ukraine corruption used by Joe Biden in 2014 to enrich his kid— was the base from which to shield the Democrat origins of the Russia Hoax and its intel roots from any real investigation.
By February of 2017, Cofer Black was a voting member of the Board of Burisma

President Dumps Fascistic Dem's Impeachment Farce
TRUMP REFUSES TO PARTICIPATE IN IMPEACHMENT FARCE
Today, President Trump's White House Counsel, Pat Cipollone, directed an eight-page letter to Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, et al., declining on behalf of President Trump to participate in the Democrats' sham impeachment proceeding. The letter, embedded below, is excellent. Some would say, brilliant. It attacks the Democrats' constitutionally defective and politically motivated proceeding at its root. You should read it all. This is the letter's introduction:
I write on behalf of President Donald J. Trump in response to your numerous, legally unsupported demands made as part of what you have labeled–contrary to the Constitution of the United States and all past bipartisan precedent–as an "impeachment inquiry." As you know, you have designed and implemented your inquiry in a maimer that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process.
For example, you have denied the President the right to cross-examine witnesses, to call witnesses, to receive transcripts of testimony, to have access to evidence, to have counsel present, and many other basic rights guaranteed to all Americans. You have conducted your proceedings in secret. You have violated civil liberties and the separation of powers by threatening Executive Branch officials, claiming that you will seek to punish those who exercise fundamental constitutional rights and prerogatives. All of this violates the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent. Never before in our history has the House of Representatives–under the control of either political party–taken the American people down the dangerous path you seem determined to pursue.
Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen. Many Democrats now apparently view impeachment not only as a means to undo the democratic results of the last election, but as a strategy to influence the next election, which is barely more than a year away. As one member of Congress explained, he is "concerned that ifwe don't impeach the President, he will get reelected."1 Your highly partisan and unconstitutional effort threatens grave and lasting damage to our democratic institutions, to our system of free elections, and to the American people.
For his part, President Trump took the unprecedented step of providing the public transparency by declassifying and releasing the record of his call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. The record clearly established that the call was completely appropriate and that there is no basis for your inquiry. The fact that there was nothing wrong with the call was also powerfully confirmed by Chairman Schiff's decision to create a false version of the call and read it to the American people at a congressional hearing, without disclosing that he was simply making it all up.
In addition, information has recently come to light that the whistleblower had contact with Chairman Schiff's office before filing the complaint. His initial denial of such contact caused The Washington Post to conclude that Chairman Schiff "clearly made a statement that was false."2 In any event, the American people understand that Chairman Schiff cannot covertly assist with the submission of a complaint, mislead the public about his involvement, read a counterfeit version of the call to the American people, and then pretend to sit in judgment as a neutral "investigator."
For these reasons, President Trump and his Administration reject your baseless, unconstitutional efforts to overturn the democratic process. Your unprecedented actions have left the President with no choice. In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the Executive Branch, and all future occupants of the Office of the Presidency, President Trump and his Administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.
Well said! There is lots more good stuff, some of a more technical nature. Here are just a few more paragraphs:
The Committees' inquity also suffers from a separate, fatal defect. Despite Speaker Pelosi's commitment to "treat the President with fairness,"6 the Committees have not established any procedures affording the President even the most basic protections demanded by due process under the Constitution and by fundamental fairness. Chairman Nadler of the House Judiciary Committee has expressly acknowledged, at least when the President was a member of his own party, that "[t]he power of impeachment … demands a rigorous level of due process," and that in this context "due process mean[s] … the right to be informed of the law, of the charges against you, the right to confront the witnesses against you, to call your own witnesses, and to have the assistance of counsel."7 All of these procedures have been abandoned here.
It is transparent that you have resorted to such unprecedented and unconstitutional procedures because you know that a fair process would expose the lack of any basis for your inquiry. Your current effort is founded on a completely appropriate call on July 25,2019, between President Trump and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. Without waiting to see what was actually said on the call, a press conference was held announcing an "impeachment inquiry" based on falsehoods and misinformation about the call.21 To rebut those falsehoods, and to provide transparency to the American people, President Trump secured agreement from the Government of Ukraine and took the extraordinary step of declassifying and publicly releasing the record of the call. That record clearly established that the call was completely appropriate, that the President did nothing wrong, and that there is no basis for an impeachment inquiry. At a joint press conference shortly after the call's public release, President Zelenskyy agreed that the call was appropriate.22 In addition, the Department of Justice announced that officials there had reviewed the call after a referral for an alleged campaign finance law violation and found no such violation.23
Perhaps the best evidence that there was no wrongdoing on the call is the fact that, after the actual record of the call was released, Chairman Schiff chose to concoct a false version of the call and to read his made-up transcript to the American people at a public hearing.24 This powerfully confirms there is no issue with the actual call. Otherwise, why would Chairman Schiff feel the need to make up his own version? The Chairman's action only further undermines the public's confidence in the fairness of any inquiry before his Committee.
For the foregoing reasons, the President cannot allow your constitutionally illegitimate proceedings to distract him and those in the Executive Branch from their work on behalf of the American people. The President has a country to lead. The American people elected him to do this job, and he remains focused on fulfilling his promises to the American people. He has important work that he must continue on their behalf, both at home and around the world, including continuing strong economic growth, extending historically low levels of unemployment, negotiating trade deals, fixing our broken immigration system, lowering prescription drug prices, and addressing mass shooting violence. We hope that, in light of the many deficiencies we have identified in your proceedings, you will abandon the current invalid efforts to pursue an impeachment inquiry and join the President in focusing on the many important goals that matter to the American people.
The Democrats won't do that, of course. They care only about power, and are determined to bully their way back into the White House in 2020.
Finally, a personal note: in 2010, I tried a $200 million case against Pat Cipollone in Denver. He is a good, tough lawyer. I am glad that he is now putting his talents to use on behalf of President Trump as White House Counsel.

Dems' Chronic Liar Schiff Sells Their Derangement
On Impeachment, Democrats Have Schiff For Brains
by Derek Hunter at townhall:
All the Democrats have to do is act sane, for a little while, to have a chance at holding the House and winning the Senate and White House. It's not a tall order – don't be a drooling fool arguing with a mailbox and you have an even shot at winning in 2020. For Democrats, even if that bar were so low it was buried, it wouldn't be low enough for them to clear. As if they wanted to drive home the idea that impeachment is a tumor made of Trump Derangement Syndrome, they've chosen to make Congressman Adam Schiff the face of it all.
Schiff is the type of Congressman who would be marginalized to the point of irrelevancy if Democrats hadn't metastasized into the media. His lies are constant, many of them are childish in nature. But mostly they're obvious.
Every lie that perfectly fit the liberal narrative about President Trump, even if it didn't originate with him, has passed through Schiff's lips. No Democrat with a press credential questions his words anymore and he won't go anywhere near where the few honest journalists who might. Even the awarding of four Pinocchios this week by the Washington Post has impacted his ability to lie.
The four Pinocchios, by the way, were for saying he and his staff had not spoken with the so-called whistleblower when they had, and he knew it. That is a blatant lie, not a misstatement, misremembering, or oversight: a lie. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was awarded four "for repeatedly hiding the truth" that he was on the call. That "hiding" consisted of not volunteering that fact to reporters asking about the whistleblower complaint which he'd not read at the time he was asked.
Pompeo wasn't asked if he was on the call and he gets the same verdict as Schiff. It's good to be a Democrat.
To illustrate just how good it is to be a Democrat, Schiff was even defended by one of the "reporters" he lied to on national television.
The Daily Beast is about as much of a journalistic outfit as MSNBC, which is why the Beast's politics editor, Sam Stein, is also on the MSNBC payroll as a Morning Joe regular. Schiff lied directly to Stein about his office's contact with the whistleblower, saying his office has not spoken with the registered Democrat. When the truth came out, likely leaked by Schiff's office to the New York Times to get the best possible spin on it (and it really was a gentle story considering), Stein downplayed Schiff's lie.
"Schiff did appear to lie," Stein tweeted. Then he accused people being bothered by Schiff's lie of being "a hack." The next day he wrote a slobbering kiss of a story entitled, "Trump's plan to save his presidency: take a hatchet to Adam Schiff." In it, Stein quotes Schiff as saying "I regret I wasn't much more clear." He was crystal clear, there is the truth and he knowingly said the opposite of it. Stein the referred to this lie as "nuance."
Again, it's good to be a Democrat.
Schiff didn't even have to ask. Every liberal outlet snapped to his defense. Going on the word of an admitted liar, NBC declared there was zero evidence Schiff or his staff had any hand in drafting the complaint and reaching out exclusively to one of the most partisan Democrats in the Russian witch hunt was "routine." Were journalists honest people themselves they'd be embarrassed.
Now we have reports of a possible second whistleblower considering filing their own complaint about the same non-event call. The reason they're considering this is to obtain the legal protections that come with whistleblower status. This person is allegedly closer to the call, which means they're one of the people who illegally leaked it to the original whistleblower. That would be an illegal leak of classified material, which makes this an attempt by this second person to protect themselves from the consequences of breaking the law to start this hoax in the first place. It also stinks of Adam Schiff-advised strategy. Can't wait for the New York Times story on that in a couple of weeks; wonder how they'll spin this one.
From his constant declarations of "proof of collusion" to his denials of any knowledge of the whistleblower before Congress was notified, Adam Schiff has a history of not only of lying, but of being caught doing so. Yet he has been chosen by Nancy Pelosi to be the face of impeachment: a dishonest man chosen to make a dishonest case to the American people. It's like OJ Simpson being asked to give the keynote address at a marriage counseling seminar.
It's a testament to just how weak the case is that they've chosen someone with a shameless willingness to tell the public that up is down, that wet is dry, to be the mastermind of impeachment. That Adam Schiff is the one coordinating this attempted coup shows just how crazy Democrats are; that they lost that argument with the mailbox. That ultimately, the Democratic Party has Schiff for brains.

Fascistics at CNN in Over Drive to Keep Creepy Dem Bidens 'Clean Enough'
THE AD THAT CNN WOULDN'T RUN
CNN refused to run this Trump ad on the Biden Ukraine scandal. Why?
"CNN is rejecting the ad, as it does not meet our advertising standards," a network spokesperson told The Daily Beast. "Specifically, in addition to disparaging CNN and its journalists, the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets, including CNN."
I have no idea what "assertions" have been "proven demonstrably false." That is a characterization that I would apply to probably 75% of Democratic Party advertising carried by CNN and other networks, but what they have in mind here, I don't know. Here is the ad:
I AM DRAINING THE SWAMP!
191K people are talking about this
Free speech: in today's America, you can't buy it.
(NOTE: Fascists NEVER care about Truth! Fascist care about POWER TO RULE THE MASSES WITHOUT INTERFERENCE, without competition!
Most Americans under age 40 have no clue about Fascism. In public schools, universities, colleges and the PRESS Leftist Fascism has become sacred. They have overtaken the name LIBERAL.
Fascism now owns the Schiff wing of the fading Democrat Party…..WHERE POWER, NOT TRUTH COMMANDS MERIT.
Feminists are the most aggressive in selling their own fascistic wears. They are not good at problem solving. They love to hate. "Power" makes them feel tough! ghr.

Fascism Is Invading Our Once American Democratic Party
After Trump, We're Next
By William L. Gensert at American Thinker:
The Democrats in 2016 graciously gave Americans the opportunity to do as we were told and vote for Hillary Clinton. And just as we so many times disappointed Barack Obama, we failed them as well, proving our illegitimacy as a citizenry.
Electing Trump was the last straw for them – plastic, of course, paper is for us rabble. They used to want only our money, but since we elected Trump, they've decided to come for everything else we enjoy as free citizens of the Republic.
Trump is all that stands between the America we cherish and the left's policies for "fundamentally transforming the United States of America." They know that for us, 2020 is a "Flight 93" election and impeaching Trump on what is the thinnest of gruel, and arguably the finest example of projection today, is a last-ditch effort to either depose him or damage him enough politically to make him unelectable come next November.
With the media, their unctuous allies in scurrility, the left knows every specious allegation will be portrayed as fact in every article, on every news panel, and in every talking-head utterance. It used to be the "big lie." Now it is a million little lies told by a camarilla of politicians and skirling media that they hope will rid the left of their Orange Man bane.
The left must make sure that someone like Trump never happens again, should they succeed at deposing Trump, or better yet, damaging him to the point where he loses in 2020, for defeating him at the polls can be trumpeted as the "will of the people."
They will take our citizenship. Citizens have the right to vote and that is something they can't fully rig until they accumulate enough power to implement democracy as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan understands democracy: "One election, once." Instead, they are honing the art of cheating and weakening election integrity efforts while flooding the country with enough illegal aliens to negate our vote and guarantee eternal leftist primacy. In short, they will replace us with a more compliant citizenry.
Note: Living in the Bronx, it is now illegal for me to use the "derogation" "illegal aliens." Should I be afraid? Am I Spartacus like Cory or like Kirk?
They will take our guns. A well-armed, regnant populace believing the "right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" cannot so easily be forced to give up their liberty to an all-knowing clerisy intent on saving us even if it kills us. It won't affect them; they will keep their armed guards and walled estates. And if blood must be spilled to disarm us, they won't mind. It won't be their blood — or so they think. As my mother used to say, "They have another 'think' coming."
They will take our cars, our large homes, inexpensive fuel for heating, and our affordable electricity. A mobile population is a free population, and a citizenry warm in their homes with electricity cheap enough to afford is too comfortable to need their "solutions" and too free to be constrained at their whim.
They've decided that no one needs more than 300 square feet per person; large private residences are wasteful, and we are selfish and greedy for working hard to buy them. Our avaricious self-interest must be eliminated, not only to save the planet but to build a better world for all. We must be forced to live within "stacked" cities in tiny apartments, cantilevered around mass transit hubs close to our jobs with no hope of escape. No hope in general.
"Try to say, 'No,' now, you deplorable bastards."
People think the Green New Deal is about saving the planet — it's not; it's about control; it's about socialism. Saikat Chakrabarti, Sandy O's pappy-puppeteer, admitted as much. We're not supposed to notice our elite will keep their cars, and their 5,000-plus square feet multiple mansions. Our ruling elite will be able to afford fuel and electricity at 10x today's price while enjoying the added benefit of no traffic to impede the progress of their limousines. Ala Al Gore, the porcine prophet of climate doom, they'll buy carbon offsets to maintain their Thunberg purity.
They will take away our right to say what we want when we want without fear of government reprisal. Because a people allowed to speak freely can "stand athwart history and yell, 'Stop!'" Folks allowed to have their own opinions will eventually disagree, however minor the deviation. And they can't have that.
They will take our children, something they've been trying to do for generations. Despots have always known that controlling youth creates controlled adults. Any freedom from an anti-American curriculum we now enjoy will be eliminated, including home-schooling, private schools, and magnet schools. When you start them young, they're yours forever.
Impeaching Trump is their way of telling us to get in line, or else. If you think of Trump, not as Trump, but as one of us, it becomes clear. Destroying him is a way of telling us, "You're next."

Dems Are Becoming Lefty Schiff Fascists….What's the Anti-Trump GOP Wing Becoming?
What is the Purpose of the GOP?
By Richard Moss at American Thinker:
A year ago I was locked in a political race for the Republican nomination for Congress from Indiana's 8th district. I was running against then four-term incumbent, Larry Bucshon. I had also run in the prior election cycle in 2016. And I had run in 2014 against Mike Braun (now U.S. Senator for Indiana) for state representative (HR 63).
Among issues popular among conservatives, I also had what I thought was a compelling platform regarding the incumbent: Bucshon and his family had moved to Washington D.C. I had hoped that this factor combined with his generally weak voting record could propel me to an upset victory, which is never easy against an incumbent. I started early and ran hard. I had raised money and traveled extensively throughout the 18 counties of Indiana's 8th district, meeting and interacting with voters.
Despite a vigorous, hard-hitting campaign, we came up short –- actually worse than the prior election. I had dropped from 35% to 26%. I also observed that many in the 8th district county level GOP establishment were upset over my criticism of Bucshon for moving to D.C. I contended, however, that a representative and his family must live, work, and attend schools in the area he represented. In this era of an increasingly centralized federal government, far removed from its constituents, Bucshon's decision to move to Washington exemplified a D.C.-centric mentality that defined perfectly what was wrong with our political system — and why I had run.
Having lost in three political campaigns, I can report that it is wonderful not to run for office. The reasons for running in three separate campaigns, however, have not disappeared. Our "one party" system in Washington remains profoundly corrupt and self-serving. It consists of career politicians from both parties, special interests, donors, and lobbyists, all of whom agree on one thing: growing the size of government.
The Republican Party, in its budgeting and voting, is a left-of-center party; it is, as I often referred to it as, the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. With an increasingly Marxist Democratic Party, and no serious conservative opposition from "soft-progressive" Republicans, the trajectory of the nation is all to the left: more spending, more programs, more socialism, and ultimately more tyranny.
Rather than promote a constitutional, limited government agenda that would actually expand liberty and shrink the power of the federal government, the GOP, in effect, embraces the tenets and policies of the Democrats (other than occasional, meaningless rhetorical flourishes to the contrary). Thus, there is no active force to thwart the mortgaging of the nation and future generations by politicians seeking short-term political gain.
Thanks to our federal government, for example, we have annual trillion-dollar deficits, a national debt approaching $22 trillion (larger than our GDP), and $200 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. The actuaries of Medicare and Social Security indicate both programs will be bankrupt in 2026 and 2035 respectively. The Republican Party, allegedly a stronghold of fiscal prudence, is, in fact, handmaiden to profligacy and insolvency.
The GOP remains hapless on the issue of immigration. It has done nothing to curtail and reform legal immigration to reflect the national interest (i.e. to make it meritocratic, limited, and diverse; to end chain migration, the "diversity" visa, birthright citizenship, and lawless "sanctuary cities," among many critical issues); it has not secured the southern border nor prevented the influx of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, virtually all of whom are impoverished, uneducated, and unskilled, and who will burden our schools, hospitals, courts, and public systems. Many of them are disease carriers, drug dealers, criminals, and terrorists. Thanks to feckless Republicans, our immigration system has become a giant welfare magnet for the world, a threat to our sovereignty, the rule of law, and national security.
Utterly feeble on the cultural front, the Republican Party has meekly accepted the cultural Marxism of the left rather than push back against the nihilism and degradation of our popular and politically correct culture. It has failed to promulgate a conservative "narrative" to confront the anti-Christian, anti-family, anti-American narrative foisted upon us by our cultural overlords.
Today's Democrat Party, overtaken by the radical French Revolutionary Left, is not the Democratic party of your grandfather or father, of Truman or Kennedy. This bunch, should they come to power, is preparing the ground for future gulags not unlike their Marxist predecessors of the 20th century.
In effect, the conservative movement lacks a political vehicle with which to enact its agenda, policies, and narrative, hence the nation is at the mercy of liberaldom. Absent effective and principled resistance from a fighting Republican Party, the leftward tilt of the nation, its decline into socialism and bankruptcy, its fragmentation into tribalized, warring identity groups, and the continued breakdown of its culture, is unavoidable. The Trump years, like the Reagan era, will represent temporary but minor respites in the downward spiral of the country.
We live in treacherous times and the fault lines dividing us may be insurmountable. But conservatives must continue to uphold our priorities that the nation may return to its foundational principles and beliefs. We must reassert the religious and cultural underpinnings of the country, the central role of the two-parent family, faith, and the Judeo-Christian tradition; we should foster an appreciation of our unique history and heritage, of liberty, individual rights, the rule of law, free markets, and the principles of our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. We, the believers, must remain the vanguard defending Western and American civilization — with or without the Republican Party.

Pipe Expansion Joint Design Specifications
Pipe Expansion Joint: Design Pressure of 65 PSIG and Design Temperature of 1076ºF
A design specification shall be prepared for each pipe expansion joint application. Prior to writing the pipe expansion joint design specification it is imperative that the system designer completely review the piping system layout, flowing medium, pressure, temperature, movements, and other items which may effect the performance of the pipe expansion joint. Particular attention shall be given to the following items.
The piping system should be reviewed to determine the location and type of pipe expansion joint most suitable for the application. Both the EJMA Standards and most reliable pipe expansion joint manufacturers' catalogs provide numerous examples to assist the user in this effort. The availability of supporting structures for anchoring and guiding of the piping and the direction and magnitude of thermal movements to be absorbed must be considered when selecting the type and location of the pipe expansion joint. Torsional rotation of the bellows should be avoided or special hardware should be incorporated into the design to limit the amount of torsional shear stress in the bellows.
The bellows material shall be specified by the user and must be compatible with the flowing medium, the external environment, and the operating temperature. Consideration shall be given to possible corrosion and erosion. The 300 Series stainless sheets of steel may be subject to chloride ion stress corrosion. High nickel alloys are subject to caustic induced stress corrosion. The presence of sulfur may also be detrimental to nickel alloys. The material chosen shall also be compatible with the environment surrounding the pipe expansion joint, water treatment and cleaning materials. In some cases, leaching of corrodents from insulating materials can be a source of corrosion.
Internal sleeves shall be specified in all applications involving flow velocities which could induce resonant vibration in the bellows or cause erosion of the convolutions resulting in premature failure.
The system design pressure and test pressure shall be specified realistically without adding arbitrary safety factors. Excess bellows material thickness required for unrealistic pressures will often produce an adverse effect on the bellows fatigue life or increase the number of convolutions required which may reduce the stability of the bellows. In the case of high-temperature applications, it may not be possible to test the expansion joint to 1.5 times the equivalent cold pressure rating of the system. This results from the various materials employed in the construction of the pipe expansion joint, temperature gradient utilized in the design, pressure stability criteria, anchor strength, etc. The manufacturer must be consulted.
The maximum, minimum and installation temperatures shall be accurately stated. Where the ambient temperature can vary significantly during pipeline construction, pre-positioning of the pipe expansion joint at installation may be required.
The pipe expansion joint manufacturer shall be advised if the pipe expansion joint will be insulated. Insulation details shall be furnished to the manufacturer in order to properly design the component parts.
The movements which are to be absorbed by the pipe expansion joint shall include not only piping elongation or contraction but also the movement of attached vessels, anchors, etc. and the possibility of misalignment during installation. Unless included in the design requirements, misalignment of the pipe expansion joint must be avoided. Where movements are cyclic, the number of cycles expected shall be specified. Similar to pressure, the movements specified must be realistic. An excessive safety factor can often result in an expansion joint which is unnecessarily flexible; thus its stability under pressure is unnecessarily reduced.
If the flowing medium can pack or solidify, provisions shall be made to prevent entrapment or solidification of the material in the convolutions which could result in damage to the pipe expansion joint or pipeline.
Internal sleeves are usually installed in the direction of flow. If the stagnant flow medium trapped behind the sleeve is undesirable, drain holes in the sleeve, purge connections, or packing shall be specified. Where backflow will be encountered, an extra-heavy sleeve shall be specified to prevent buckling of the sleeve and possible damage to the bellows.
The predicted amplitude and frequency of external mechanical vibrations to be imposed on the bellows, such as those caused by reciprocating or pulsating machinery, shall be specified. A resonant condition in the bellows will result in a grossly reduced fatigue life and must be avoided. The pipe expansion joint designer will attempt to provide a non-resonating design; however, the ability to always assure non-resonance is impossible. Therefore, field modifications to the pipe expansion joint or other system components may be necessary.
The piping system drawings shall specify the location of all anchors, guides, supports and fixed points. Both the anchors and guides must be suitable for the highest pressures to be applied to the system. IN MOST CASES THE TEST PRESSURE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE SYSTEM OPERATING PRESSURE.
The system designer shall specify those special features which best accomplish personnel protection in his particular system. Piping systems containing high pressure and/or hazardous materials which are located in close proximity to personnel shall be provided with additional safety features which will protect such personnel in the event of a failure in the system. Pipe Expansion joints can be furnished with special features including, but not limited to, the following:
Extra-heavy covers which could serve to impede the effect of a jet flow produced by a failure; however, such covers will not prevent the escaping medium from expanding and filling the surroundings in which it is located.
Limit rods designed for dynamic loading can be employed to restrain the longitudinal pressure
Thrust in the event of anchor failure. Such rods would normally remain completely passive until the anchor restraint is removed.
A two-ply or two concentric bellows design may be employed with each ply or bellows designed to contain the full line pressure. The annular space between the plies or concentric bellows can be monitored continuously for leakage by means of suitable instrumentation. A change in pressure in the annulus could be used to detect bellows leakage.
The system designer shall provide for the accessibility of components (anchors, expansion joints, guides, etc.) in the piping system for periodic inspection after the initial startup.
PIPE EXPANSION JOINT DESIGN
The pipe expansion joint design shall conform to the requirements of the EJMA Standards, the ANSI Piping Codes and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes as applicable. The design of structural attachments shall be in accordance with accepted methods, based on elastic theory.
PIPE EXPANSION JOINT MANUFACTURING QUALITY
The pipe expansion joint manufacturer shall be required to furnish, on request, a copy of their Quality Assurance Manual.

California's governor wants to pay residents a data dividend
Molly Wood Feb 22, 2019
https://www.marketplace.org/2019/02/22/californias-governor-wants-to-pay-residents-data-dividend/

Earlier this month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed that tech companies, which make lots of money collecting and monetizing our personal information, should share that wealth. He said people who live in California should get paid a data dividend.
Host Molly Wood talked with Owen Thomas, business editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, who recently wrote that the data dividend idea was overly simplistic and has been tried before. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.
Molly Wood: Let's start with the concept of a data dividend that the governor has proposed. What's the overarching thought here?
Owen Thomas: It's a really old idea that goes back to some of the earliest business models that people tried out in the first dot-com boom. If there's some value to your attention, why can't you, the consumer, directly monetize that attention instead of someone else making all the money? But it takes a twist when you try to apply that idea, that your personal data has this abstract guaranteed value, and you should get a cut of that.
Wood: It's true, this is not a new idea. Recently, Microsoft researcher Glen Weyl started proposing the idea, again, that we are all increasingly becoming unpaid data laborers. We are contributing all of this and the bargain is unfair. You're arguing, essentially, good luck with that. Is it partly because it's so hard to figure out a flat rate, a value?
Thomas: I think the companies would say you are getting something of value. If you are posting your photos on Instagram, you get an audience. You're able to connect with your friends. You're able to use their filters. They would argue it's an even exchange. But I want to go back to this idea that data has some value that you can extract. If you could share or exchange your personal data, it might turn out to not be worth that much. I think that would be shocking to people because these companies are clearly making a lot of money. But they're making the money through an alchemy of some amount of personal data that you have, a lot of data that they have and data that advertisers themselves have contributed, including targeting information. Budweiser might know exactly where its ads are most effective, and they use that information to place ads online. Where did the value come in and where does the value go out? I think these are really hard questions.
Wood: If we look at this as a process of starting a conversation, do you think anything could come of a proposal like this?
Thomas: I think that if you're looking at this and saying these companies are unfairly profiting from society at large, we have a system for extracting that value. It's called taxes. Why don't you tax their profits and then apply that to any number of public goods that you might need?

Despite the skepticism over data dividends — and there's plenty — a company called Ant Transaction Machines, ATM.com, launched right after the governor's speech. It promises to help people control their online information and, hopefully, also get paid for it.
I'm not telling you to go sign up at ATM.com, but I am kind of curious about it. It says it's started by a longtime financial markets and micro-investing entrepreneur, a physicist and behavioral economist. I'm gonna have to call them up.
The idea seems to be almost like a data union. If enough people participate in this platform, it'll be able to negotiate for a revenue-sharing agreement with data buyers. Whether that means third-party data companies or advertisers or platforms is unclear. But it shows that this conversation is not going away. Ultimately, it's about control and fairness and people feeling like these companies aren't running roughshod over our lives, doing whatever they want without us knowing about it.
Here are some developments on that front from this week alone: Children's and privacy advocacy groups are asking the FTC to investigate charges that Facebook knowingly enticed kids to spend their parents' money on games and digital goods, refused to reimburse parents and in internal documents even called one underage girl a "whale," like in Vegas, because she spent so much money on the platform.
Also, I don't think we can understate how insane it is that Google's Nest alarm system had a built-in microphone that the company didn't tell anybody about.
And no one really would have realized that YouTube was letting actual pedophiles post all kinds of gross comments on videos featuring kids if a YouTube creator hadn't done a video about it and started a campaign to let advertisers know their ads were running on these videos full of gross comments.
This is more than a trust problem. This feels like the start of a reckoning.

Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of deep relaxation and focused attention. We often go in out of this natural state of mind many times during the day, such as when engrossed in a good book or television programme, whilst day dreaming or before we drift off to sleep at night.
Hypnotherapy is used once you are in a deep state of relaxation, your subconscious mind comes to the forefront and the critical part of your mind can be bypassed allowing positive changes to be made. Hypnotherapy is natural and safe and can be used to treat a wide range of different issues, such as stop smoking, weight loss, anxiety, fears and much more.
Yes anyone can be Hypnotised provided that they want to be- as long as you are willing to go into trance then it can work for you.
Will I remain in control during Hypnosis?
Yes you will remain in control whilst in hypnosis, a hypnotherapist role is to guide you to make positive changes, you can't be made to do anything you do not want to. During Hypnosis you can share as much or as little information as you desire and you will be alert, aware of your surroundings and in control at all times.
The number of sessions can vary - for a simple issue such as stop smoking only 1 session is needed, other issue's usually require more than 1 session. It's best to budget for around 4 sessions however it may take more or less than this, we can discuss this in more detail during your free 30 minute consultation.
How frequently will I need to come for treatment?
I recommend that you come weekly to start with and after a few sessions the frequency may be adjusted so that you can leave more time between sessions.
How long does a Hypnotherapy session last?
Stop smoking sessions last up to 90 minutes, all other sessions last up to 60 minutes. The sessions can vary and may run over from time to time depending on what we are working on during the session. It's best to take this into consideration and give yourself plenty of time.

Hey, remember when listening to the local radio station at 7.40am was how you found out about school closures? Good times.
Today, things are much more complex. The public sector has the tools to talk to people directly. Information and also counter-argument. It is not enough to tell people with words. In the days of fake news you have to use video or images. I've blogged examples of video here.
Well, if a picture can paint a thousand words then use more of them.
Macclesfield Police were involved in a rescue of a couple who took their baby for a ride and then got stuck in sub-zero temperature. The shot taken on a smartphone shows just what they are up against.
A shot posted quickly by a frontline officer to the web can be shared swiftly.
While the best content is outside the office there is a way to stay in the office and get something usable. Images of road conditions taken from traffic cameras acts as a warning. And you get to stay in the warm.
For all engaging image can attract attention 80 per cent of people in an emergency just want text. This screenshot does just that and drives traffic.
Snow and ice on the ground show the conditions people are up against.
This shot of the North Yorkshire moors to anyone with common sense shows a picture of an impassable road. It works well on Facebook.
Shots of ambulance crews facing the odds reminds people that the service is still there and working hard.
The irony of this NHS image is that it is shared on a council website. Which is the intention of making something sharable.
There is one truly brilliant thing about Harrogate copper @hotelalpha9 on Twitter.
It's not the fact PC Ed Rogerson has a truly cool Hawaii Five O sounding name online.
It's not even because the police are using social media. Although, that is great.
What's really brilliant, is that he has succeeded in putting a human touch on what is by definition a large organisation.
In North Yorkshire there are 1,500 police officers serving 750,000 people. @hotelalpha9 is able to connect with his beat particular brilliantly.
It's stuff specific to a small area. It's in effect hyperlocal blogging for an organisation.
The debate about whether or not police should use digital is a short one (answer: yes).
On that topic there is an inspiring and groundbreaking blog by Chief Inspector Mark Payne of West Midlands Police – on Twitter as @CIPayneWMPolice – that deserves a special mention: Police and social media: Why are we waiting?
But what it really opens up is how best to use this stuff to connect.
By all means have a central presence with a corporate logo on.
However, in Twitter 2.0 shouldn't we start putting the individual to the fore?
If we call a council, government – or a big company for that matter – you are often met with a name when you ring or write. Why not do that with social media too?
Recently, when Walsall Council contacted a protest group on Facebook an officer set up a dedicated work profile to make contact. It wasn't a logo. It was a real person that made that connection. On behalf of the council.
So, isn't there a case the closer we get to an organisation hyperlocal blogging we start allowing the individual to be the organisation's face? They are in real life over the phone and at other contact points. Why not in social media too?
This may well create new headaches. Would staff be prepared for the potential for brickbats, for example?
How about if they leave?
But let's not forget that these dilemmas also apply offline too.
1. THE CORPORATE VOICE WITH NAMED INDIVIDUAL. Eg @anycouncil. Biog: news from Any Council updated by Darren info@any.gov.uk. Content: general tweets.
2. THE SERVICE AREA. Eg @anycouncil_libraries Biog: updated by Kim. Kim@any.gov.uk. Content: niche tweets from a specific service area. More specific info for fans of that subject. Eg author visits, reminders to take out a holiday book.
3. THE HYPERLOCAL INDIVIDUAL Eg @artscentreguy Biog: Bob from Any Arts Centre. Content: More personal updates from an individual first and foremost who just happens y'know to work for a council. Eg. Twitpics of rehearsals, behind the scenes shots and listings info.

Not news to anybody, but I recently became so fed up with Comcast's service (It truly is unbelievable how bad it is) I switched to another provider.
Comcast is the classic antithesis of David Meerman Scott's The New Rules of Sales & Service: How to Use Agile Selling, Real-Time Customer Engagement, Big Data, Content, and Storytelling to Grow Your Business. It appears to me Comcast is still defending the sales & service status quo and they are paying the price. Because I recently read Scott's book, I could not help but think about my recent, blood-pressure raising, Comcast experience.
For those of you that regularly read my blog you know I disdain the status quo and I am always looking for ways to shake up the status quo in industrial marketing. Many industrial marketers love to defend the status quo, much like Comcast.

97-95: Real Madrid win their 27th Copa del Rey
GalleryVideo
REPORT | 19/02/2017 | Edu Bueno (Vitoria) | PHOTOGRAPHER: Víctor Carretero
They beat Valencia Basket in the final and won the title for the fourth consecutive year. Llull, MVP (22 points and 22 PIR).
Buesa Arena
The cup kings continue to add to their title, winning the 27th in their history, the fourth consecutive in an unprecedented feat, and the fifth in six years. A massive achievement for Real Madrid who don't know their limits, after being against the ropes in the quarter and semi-finals, they stood up to beat Valencia Basket in an even final in which Llull shone again with 10 points in the last two minutes (22 and 22 PIR). A great performance from Randolph (20 and 26) and Ayón (18 and 24). A second MVP for Llull after the one against Barcelona in 2012.
A great final between the two teams with the best rating in the League, began with a Madrid marking their territory after a few minutes of toing and throwing on the scoreboard with a great offensive display from the Llull-Randolph duo against San Emeterio-Dubljevic. The Whites knew how to move the opposition defence in order to find good shooting opportunities, limiting the offensive contribution of Valencia to the forward and the pivot. But it was another pivot, Randolph, the star of the first quarter. His 10 points allowed his team to earn a +6 (22-16, 10mins).
High tempo
In the second quarter, the game became more dynamic in attack. Valencia Basket challenged the Whites from the perimeter with Sastre and Rafa Martinez scoring. But Madrid responded with the same weapons with Carroll (8 points). His second three-pointer counteracted the defensive change made by Pedro Martinez and put the white 10 up at 43-33 in the 27th minute. However, when they seemed to have it under control, Oriola's contribution to a 12-4 run before the break saw equality restored (47-45, min. 20).
"Llull is the MVP with the highest scoring average in the last 20 seasons (22.3 points)".
Despite it being a final, Madrid had not found the intensity and toughness that they needed in the semi-finals, a situation that the opponents looked to take advantage of, especially around the basket. Valencia Basket, with Dubljevic on form from close up, were up against a team who were aware of how their rebound could get them in to trouble.
Ayón and Carroll
The good thing is that they were solid in attack, thanks to Ayón (12 points in the quarter finals), which was a fundamental reason for his team staying ahead during the third quarter, with the help of Carroll's three-pointers and Llull, who prevented the Valencia comeback (74-71, min 30).
Imperial Llull
Madrid could not solve the problem in the defensive rebounds nor did they know how to stop Dubljevic. But the Valencia push did not get the desired results. Carroll, Doncic and Randolph replied but they could not get away from their opponent. Sikma pushed the scoreboard up to 87-85 in the 38 minute. Once again they were made to suffer...Time for the best Llull moment. Eight points in an active spell. Three-pointers, steals and baskets before another unlikely three-pointer to put the scored at 95-87 with just over a minute to play. Madrid had a cold head despite the final pushes from Valencia Basket in another pulsating final (97-95, min. 40).
REAL MADRID 97 (22+25+27+23): Llull (22), Rudy (2), Taylor (5), Randolph (20) and Reyes (1) -starting five- Draper (0), Nocioni (0), Doncic (9), Maciulis (3), Ayón (18), Carroll (14) and Hunter (3).
VALENCIA BASKET 95 (16+29+26+24): Van Rossom (6), R. Martínez (7), San Emeterio (17), Sikma (6) and Dubljevic (28) -starting five Diot (2), Sato (5), Vives (2), Oriola (6), Sastre (12), Kravtsov (0) and Thomas (4).

Happy Birthday Stewart McKimmie
First posted on Facebook on October 27th, 2016
Happy Birthday also to Stewart McKimmie who will turn 54 today. Stewart was a great attacking full back who played for Scotland from 1989 to 1996. Stewart won 40 caps in total, all during his time with Aberdeen. His first cap came in a 2-0 defeat to England at Hampden in the Rous Cup of 1989; his last cap would come seven years on, in a 2-0 defeat to England at Wembley in the 1996 Euros Finals. In between Stewart played in two games in Italia '90 making a subs appearance against Costa Rica and playing the full ninety against Brazil.
He would also play in all three games of the 1992 Euros in Sweden; his Scotland swansong would be the two opening games of the '96 Euros.
However, there is one moment we all remember Stewart for and it was his stunning goal to give Scotland victory against Argentina in March, 1990.
Happy Birthday Stewart and all the best.


Activists worldwide have been organizing, educating, protesting, writing, and sharing stories and videos to tell the citizens of the world just how bad the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal is for people. After all, anything written in secret by 600 multinational corporations can't be good for us.
This Wednesday– June 3, 2015– is another national day of action against the TPP. Organizers are calling on us– all of us– to call our representatives in the US House of Representatives on Wednesday and tell them to vote NO on the fast track authorization for the TPP.
Kyrsten Sinama: She has been a Wall Street darling since she went to Congress, but a recent anti-TPP protest at her office may have sparked a no vote on the TPP. Let's encourage her to stand with us this time– instead of Wall Street.
Most Democrats are against the TPP because it is bad for workers (to put it mildly), while most Republicans– ironically– are aligned with President Obama, who has been a TPP cheerleader and who is responsible for the secretive nature of the TPP.
No one can read it. What's up with that? The TPP has 29 chapters, and to date, only a handful of chapters– intellectual property, environment, investment — have been released to the public by WikiLeaks– not by President Obama.
Check out this recent Democracy Now interview with Julian Assange of WikiLeaks here.
And this one about copyright laws under the TPP here.
The PDA Tucson website here also has several other TPP videos. #StopFastTrack and #FlushTheTPP. Let's stop this deal because it is bad for people and bad for our planet.
More that you might like to consider.
For all the "hair on fire"…. And Jim, sorry, but you have it exactly backwards.
Would that be Barney "I need a sell my book now" Frank?
Barney Frank explains why progressives are against TPP in a Boston Globe op-ed piece. Basically, corporations are loving it, but workers get nothing in return. Obama just doesn't understand (or care) about the lopsided nature of the deal.
