The Real Russian Collusion – The Obama Minions
-
Documents suggest possible
coordination between CIA, FBI, Obama WH and Dem officials early in Trump-Russia
probe: investigators
(may have
to copy-paste link into browser)
-
“Newly
uncovered text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
suggest a possible coordination between high-ranking officials at the Obama
White House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and former Senate Democratic
leadership in the early stages of the investigation into alleged collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia,
according to GOP congressional investigators on Wednesday.”
-
“The
investigators say the information provided to Fox News “strongly” suggests
coordination between former President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis
McDonough, then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, and CIA Director John
Brennan — which they say would “contradict” the Obama administration’s public
stance about its hand in the process.”

'Satan 2'
nuclear missile again test-launched by Russia, as Putin brags of
'invulnerable' arsenal
“A new
intercontinental ballistic missile hailed by Russian President Vladimir Putin
as being able to fly over the North or South Poles and strike any target in the
world reportedly was test-launched for the second time Friday.”
-
-
For the
entire 8-years of Obama’s reign, Putin was developing the next generation of
intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles while Obama was busy killing
Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (Star-Wars anti-missile systems).
-
Obama then
capped off his malignant-neglect of protecting the American people by glibly
mocking Romney with his “the Cold War is history” in the presidential debates –
much to the joy and glee of his US-PravdaMedia cronies and clowns.
-
The Reality
of Survival:
Those who
pound their swords into plows will plow for those who didn’t!
-
How can an
entire administration spend 8-years focusing on global warming, men in the
ladies room, denigrating American enterprise, demonizing police officers and
downgrading our military while not only ignoring the surging Putin ‘red tide’
but playing childish ‘reset button’ games with these adversaries?
-
And to
think that now the Democrats are now claiming that Trump is ‘soft’ on Putin –
Really?
-
To add
insult to injury Obama did the same malignant-neglect with the North Korean
nuclear missile threat and gave Iran
a path to a nuclear missile threat too.

US-PravdaMedia Get An ‘F’ For Journalism – Colbert Jabs CNN
-
Respected
professor blasts 'once-proud' CNN in scathing op-ed: 'CNN lost its way'
“McCall penned an op-ed for The Hill Friday headlined, “CNN
lost its way in struggle to find an audience,” and blasted the increasingly
liberal network for its recent programming decisions, such as promoting the
anti-Trump Chris Cuomo.”
“With a
primetime lineup of Cuomo and Cooper, “CNN will have back-to-back evening
anchors representing elite, east coast, powerful families,” McCall said.”
-
-
Stephen
Colbert 'apologizes' to Trump, (with tongue-in-cheek) calls out CNN for 'lies'
“Therefore,
Colbert said he "sincerely" apologizes to Trump, admitting that there
is something the pair can agree on: "CNN lies." The comedian was
referring to Trump's repeated accusation that the cable TV network disseminates “fake news.””

The HIV+AIDs Pandemic Continues
-
Why America's South
Still Has Such High HIV Rates
“In 2015,
African-Americans accounted for 45 percent of HIV diagnoses in the United States
overall, though they comprise 13 percent of the total population. But in the
South, this percentage is much higher, with African-Americans accounting for 54
percent of new HIV diagnoses in 2014.”
“Black men
who have sex with men have a disproportionate burden of disease, accounting for
59 percent of all HIV diagnoses among African-Americans in
the South. Black women also face an unequal burden, comprising 69
percent of all HIV diagnoses among women in the South. Black transgender
communities in the South are also heavily impacted. Half of all transgender persons who are
diagnosed with HIV are black. Around half of transgender people who received an
HIV diagnosis between 2009-2014 lived in the South.”
-
The consequences of Not Safe Sex can be devastating.

Mad Dog Shot: Is Carry-Permit Shooter Now A Double Felon?
-
Dog shot
after downtown Roanoke
attack
A dog loose
on a downtown Roanoke street
attacked two people Thursday morning before a bystander shot it with a handgun.
-
-
The Good
News:
A carry-permit
person took the initiative, with his concealed pistol, to put-down a mad dog that
was attacking people in downtown Roanoke
-
The
Potential Bad News:
PETA wants
to know why he didn’t make friends with the dog and capture it peacefully.
In Virginia it’s a felony
to kill a dog, even your own (so much for euthanizing Old Yeller).
It’s a
felony to fire a gun in Roanoke unless you are
one of the multiple shooters that are committing major crimes every day in one
of the most crime-prone cities in Virginia.
-
Not clear
what will happen to the carry-permit person.
One thing
for sure, in this anti-NRA climate, the city council and the Roanoke Times are Not going to heap any
praise on this ‘vigilante gun totter’.
-
Lesson for mad dogs: only attack in "Gun-Free Zones" like school yards.

Trump's Border Wall Must Be Built,
380 Sheriffs Tell Congress
“Hundreds
of sheriffs from 40 states have called on Congress to fund President Donald
Trump's initiative to build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
“Without
border security and immigration reform, more Americans will continue to be
victims of crime. Now is the time to act,” a letter signed by
380 sheriffs said.
"Further
delay and inaction on immigration reform will cost more innocent lives, more
financial hardships, and an even greater decline in the public trust that is
essential to the preservation of our Republic," the letter added.”

Remove a

8-Months in jail for your dastardly crime against the people!

Obama’s Congressional ‘Resisters’ Placing Obama Above Their Oaths
-
Republicans
push to end Dems' stranglehold on key ambassadorial nominee
“Senate
Republicans fed up with the Democrats' refusal to allow confirmation votes on a
slew of critical appointments - including the high-profile case of the Trump
administration's first openly gay ambassadorial nominee – may move more
aggressively to finally break the logjam.
"It's
time to end this partisan spectacle. We have 78 more nominees for various jobs
who’ve made it through their committee hearings and are waiting for a vote on
this floor," Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said on the floor of the Senate
last week. "Most of these people have bipartisan support, they can be
confirmed easily."
Barrasso
wants to limit the number of hours of discussion (from 30-hours per nominee) down to eight - a standard
Democrats themselves supported under the Obama administration.”
-
-
The Obama
‘Resist’ Movement reinforced by the ‘Deep
State’ have chosen to
place their politics and loyalty to Obama over and above their oaths and
responsibility to our government. How
sad is that!

Next to
last paragraph pg 8: “last year China
exported $375 BILLION more in goods to the US than it bought – a record trade
gap.”
-
-
-
Did you
know that The World Trade Organization WTO determines our import-export trade
rules and management? Me neither.
They, the
WTO, have clearly aided and abetted the destruction of much of our
manufacturing companies, capabilities and jobs.
Clearly the
WTO “Globalists”, whoever they are, have no concerns for the wellbeing of our
country or our people and unfortunately our leaders have not stood up for us
either.
-
Once the
destruction of our tool & die, manufacturing equipment and manufacturing
skill base are gone we will be ‘slaves’ to those who make and market ‘tangible
and necessary things’ all resulting in a major degrading of our quality of
life.
Somewhat
like:
‘Those who
beat their swords into plows – will plow for those who didn’t.
-
Trump ran
on a platform of confronting the critical issues of trade treaties and the
shackling of our businesses at home and abroad.
Finally a
fighter for us --- and he’s winning in spite of the Obama Resist Movement,
US-PravdaMedia, Democrats and the Globalists.
The
required outcomes: FAIR TRADE and America First!

The Vanishing Obama Presidency

The
vanishing Obama presidency
By Jeff
Bergner Guest columnist Virginia
Pilot Jan 14, 2018
“ONE YEAR
AGO, Barack Obama’s presidency came to an end. His election as the nation’s
first black president was a major accomplishment for him and for the nation. Time
will never erase that achievement.
But as time
passes, this may be just about his only lasting political accomplishment; his
legislative, regulatory and policy initiatives are disappearing rapidly.”
-
-
A very good
summary of the good news that the Obama Legacy will soon be reduced to:
First black
person to be POTUS
Namesake of
the flawed and failed ObamaCare
Failure of almost
all his foreign affairs activities
Leader of
the anti-police jihad
Steward of
the ObamaNomics failed economic policy

23rd rant on Goodlatte
Roanoke Times Moves Opinion To ‘News’ –
Business As Usual
-
Republican
Congressman Goodlatte was and still is a strong supporter of “LEGAL Productive
Immigration”.
He is Not a
supporter of 12-Million ILLEGAL Immigrants.
He prefers
proper vetting of ‘productive-immigrants’, not government-dependent
immigrants.
-
Goodlatte
is reasonable and prudent given that the current 12-millon Illegals have embedded within
them violent criminals, those from Radical Muslim Terrorist countries and those
who are a major burden on our schools, healthcare and taxpayer funded social welfare
programs.
-
Strange
timing for the Roanoke Times to attack Goodlatte who is retiring. Perhaps they think that diminishing and
denigrating Goodlatte will help their Democrat candidate in November. Worked for them in falsely destroying
McDonnell on behalf of McAuliffe.

-
The
US-PravdaMedia did an outstanding job of orchestrating and covering the
children’s anti-gun demonstrations Sat. 3-24-2018.
At no time
did anyone point out that for 250-years the 2nd Amendment has been the primary
supporter of the 1st Amendment as so well demonstrated in countless other
countries without a 2nd Amendment.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/02/ukraine-and-our-2nd-amendment-and-our.html
Nor was it pointed out that we have a plethora of Gun Control in-place, at the Federal, State, and Local levels, and that the overwhelming amount of gun violence is perpetrated by illegal guns in the hands of felons who totally ignore ‘gun control’.

Chicago would be a real-life real-time
example.
-
While
watching these very well meaning youngsters demonstrate, for diminishing their
own 2nd Amendment rights, one might wonder about doing a follow-up review of
their situation 10-years from now when they are 25.
Some key statistics
to gather, ponder and place in perspective:
How many
died from:
- ‘legal’ guns?
- illegal guns?
- muggings and physical attacks?
- suicide?
- abuse of drugs and alcohol?
- auto accidents?
- texting while driving?
- And how
many girls terminated their babies with abortions?
-
There’s emotional group-psychology and then there’s reality and perspective on those rights designated in our Constitution with wisdom and determination.
-
Clearly
this is NOT a study the US-PravdaMedia would ever do!

The Russian Interactions: Trump vs. Obama

more than we know --- Peter Hain is a retired CIA officer. He lives at Smith Mountain
Lake
This op-ed
responds in part to Gerry Scardo’s letter to the editor, March 8 (“GOP weak
against Russian threat”).

-
This op-ed
is a very insightful view, by a retired CIA person, of the current US-Russia
interactions and Democrat politicalization of that interaction.
-
-
What the US-PravdaMedia and the
Democrats don’t want to talk about is:
How did Obama handle Russia for 8-years that brought us to this point?
Who did the
Putin “Reset?”
Who stood
by while Putin took Crimea by Force?
Who stood
by while Putin took major portion of Ukraine?
Who stood
by while Putin built major military facilities in Syria?
Who stood
by while Putin’s puppet gassed his own people in Syria?
Who stood
by while Putin attacked our US
surrogates in Syria?
Who
knowingly stood by while Putin intruded into the 2016 election?
Who gave
20% of our Uranium ore to Putin?
Answer: Obama and his political minions!

Roanoke Times Moves Opinion To ‘News’ – Business As Usual
-
The RT
moved an editorial commentary of 1,028 words
from the opinion page to Va ‘News’ page 1 and 4 and no one noticed.
Of course
no one noticed – its business as usual at the RT.
-
This commentary
in support of Crooked-Hillary and Obama is wrapped in an anti-Trump banner with
Republican Congressman Goodlatte as the boogeyman ribbon.
-
A thousand
words about Goodlatte? Really? All Goodlatte has done lately was:
“If the FBI
does not turn over more than one million
missing documents related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s
use of a private email server, House Judiciary Committee chair Bob Goodlatte
plans to subpoena the federal spy agency.”
-
The RTs
view: What difference does it matter now?
All
involved have been given immunity and key evidence destroyed.
Something about Obamas-AG Lynch with Bill in his plane.
-
Perhaps the
commentary is a carry-over from Goodlatte’s participation in the ‘contempt of
congress’ designation of Obama’s AG Eric Holder’s lies in Congressional
testimony.
AG Holder,
Our Chief Law Enforcement Officer, Lies Again To Congres

“Is Goodlatte
providing cover for President Donald Trump?
Rep. Bob
Goodlatte is threatening to subpoena the Trump Justice Department if it fails
to turn over 1.2 million documents regarding the FBI's closed investigation
into Hillary Clinton's email server. But there's too little time left in the
retiring lawmaker's term for the House Judiciary Committee to do a complete
investigation. What's Goodlatte up to?”

Happy Birthday: Grand Coulee Dam: March 22, 1941
-
Today In
History, March 22: Grand Coulee Dam
-
History and purpose
History and purpose
“Grand Coulee (map) is the largest dam in the Columbia River Basin
and one of the largest in the world.”
“The total
generating capacity is 6,809 megawatts and its average annual energy output is
about 2,300 megawatts, or enough power to continuously supply the needs of two
cities the size of Seattle.”
“Hydropower
accounts for 79.7 percent of Grand Coulee’s
authorized purposes, the others being irrigation and flood control. While
hydropower is the primary purpose of the dam today, the public desire for
irrigation was the driving force behind its construction.”
“The
federal project not only conformed with New Deal principles, it also conformed
with Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes’s intentions that public relief
projects should help the national recovery and create a valuable product able
to pay for itself. Grand Coulee met all of the
tests.”
“In 1948,
for example, Vice Presidential candidate Earl Warren remarked: “Probably Hitler
would have beaten us in atom bomb development if it had not been for the
hydroelectric development of the Columbia, making possible the big Hanford
project which brought forth the bomb.” Pitzer comments in his book, Grand Coulee: Harnessing a Dream:”
-
-
Not
everyone is celebrating The Grand Coulee’s birthday.
-
In today’s
negative environment the focus is to disparage the dam and its positive effects
of renewable power, irrigation, flood control, recreation and jobs.
Let’s focus
on the negative least anyone even think about building another renewable and
sustainable power dam in the US:
The dam
flooded major Native American lands
The dam
inhibits the upstream migration of fish and ells
The lack of
down-stream flooding is not natural
The
irrigation of the ‘Cascade desert’ has modified its natural state
-
One of the
last significant US dams to be built was
almost abandoned based on the home of the Snail Darter fish in Little Tennessee River.
