Healey had requested the stay because she believes a parallel case against her 2016 decision to expand the definition of banned “assault weapons” should be decided first. U.S. District Court judge Timothy Hillman ruled the federal case deals with factors beyond those at hand in the state case. “The Enforcement Notice warrants constitutional review for vagueness without reaching the state law issue,” he wrote in his ruling.

Lets go for the socialist trifecta, how long till a Maduro villa on the shores of the Caspian sea, he can chose from the northwestern quadrant or the whole of the southern part coast?
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, speaking in an exclusive interview with FOX Business’ Trish Regan, is telling those on the far left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, that the root of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis is directly tied to socialism.
“It’s about a lack of information,” Guaidó said about Ocasio-Cortez and Omar on Monday. “So if you want to talk about the economy, we’re seeing 53 percent rates, 1,000 percent in inflation, lack of basic products, medication and food. If we look at the day-to-day suffering of the Venezuelan people that’s not about numbers it’s about human beings. It’s about lives, people who are suffering right now who see their lives in danger and who cannot provide for themselves as human beings to sustain a society and the world. So regarding the crisis going on in Venezuela, I invite everyone to see what’s going on in Venezuela.”
Guaidó is back in his home country after a 10-day absence and defying a travel ban imposed by the country’s Supreme Court controlled by Nicholas Maduro.
His opposition party has declared a state of national emergency as the country enters its fifth day with nearly no electricity.
Wide spread looting is causing more havoc in the capital City of Caracas and other parts of the South American country as conditions continue to deteriorate.
Guaidó said he will invoke a constitutional article allowing the Congress to authorize foreign military operations to intervene in the country’s humanitarian crisis.
“There is part of Article 187 of our National Constitution, which is not only for Venezuela, but it allows for an outside country to cooperate or to assist Venezuela in this sense,” Guaidó said on “Trish Regan Primetime.” “As we’ve stated in this article of our constitution, which empowers me, as the person in charge, to employ whatever measures are necessary to enact this cooperation and this assistance for Venezuela.”

And to think the baby killer supporters do not like being called baby killers. Ok, when a infant is out of the womb and laying on a steel tray, and then later killed, what is the name for that besides baby killers? Think a blackface distraction will make it be swept under the rug?
“So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” Northam, a pediatric neurosurgeon, told Washington radio station WTOP. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
The Democrats were the ones doing the lynching. The lynchers. The Left hates the Jews. The Left hates America. The Left cheered wildly from sea to troubled sea for legal infanticide. The Left has always been the violent ones. The Left has always been the haters. Violence and death is left in their wake. Evil people do bad things.

Hey.
Remember fellas when we used to have that wack job running over here sayin Trump was in bed with Putin, that Trump was in Putin’s backpocket,, that he had bigley concerns that Putin had blackmail stuff on Trump, blah, blah, blah. That was a couple of years ago only to have the psychosis flare up again in the past couple of weeks? Wonder where he got such crazy notions? Nobody is that stupid to come up that one on his own. Must be the new designer drugs or some cheapo rot gut Irish whiskey. You can drink yourself insane drinking that poison.
“Back in July of 2017, Pelosi promised there is “cold, hard evidence” of collusion between Russia and the Trump family.
Less than a month ago, Schiff was even more bullish on the collusion question. He told CNN, “You can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence.”
One thing is clear to any fair observer: if Pelosi and Schiff really believed their outlandish rhetoric on Russian collusion, they would be moving to impeach the president. If they believed, as they previously claimed, that there is clear evidence to show Trump is in bed with Putin, they could not move fast enough to present that evidence and force Republicans to defend an obviously compromised commander in chief.

Daily quotes from our space in time. Especially yummy today. The last quote explains the glum lot. 😦
Friendly fire: “Earth to Democrats: Republicans are telling you something when they gleefully schedule votes on proposals like the Green New Deal, Medicare for all, and a 70 percent marginal tax rate. When they’re more eager to vote on the Democratic agenda than we are, we should take a step back and ask ourselves whether we’re inadvertently letting the political battle play out on their turf rather than our own. If Trump’s only hope for winning a second term turns on his ability to paint us as socialists, we shouldn’t play to type.” —Rahm Emanuel
If work is irredeemable, what does that make socialist handouts? “To me capitalism is irredeemable.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Non Compos Mentis: “We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work. We should be excited by that. But the reason we’re not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem.” —Ocasio-Cortez
Oh, that must be it: “I don’t think our colleague [Rep. Ilhan Omar] is anti-Semitic. I think she has a different experience in the use of words, doesn’t understand that some of them are fraught with meaning that she didn’t realize.” —Nancy Pelosi
Trafficking hate: “Absolutely not. … One is human the other is not.” —Ilhan Omar asked if Barack Obama and Donald Trump are the same (“Anti-Semites who dehumanize their opponents? Who could have predicted that?” —Ed Driscoll)
“I think Islamophobia is very much among the Democratic Party as well as the Republican Party. And I know that’s hard for people to hear, but there’s only been four members of Congress that are of Muslim faith. Three of them currently serve in this institution. More of us need to get elected, but more of us need to understand as we come into this institution that I have a lot of work to do with my colleagues.” —Rep. Rashida Tlaib
Dezinformatsiya: “I think the question should be, is Fox [News] state-run TV or is the White House state-run government by Fox TV? … The fact is [Fox anchors] work at a place that has done tremendous damage to this country.” —CNN President Jeff Zucker
The jack of all trades: “I’m trans. I’m a person of color. I’m an immigrant. I’m a lesbian. I’m a gay man. I’m the disabled. I’m everything.” —Alyssa Milano (You’re also a nut.)
The BIG Lie: “Women aren’t the only people who get pregnant or the only people who need to access abortion. The fight for reproductive freedom is a fight for ALL.” —NARAL
And last… “I remember a time when you could enjoy — or not enjoy — a movie based on its merits. Now we have to worry about the politics of casting, the social implications of the film and even the validity of the reviewing process. The joy is being sucked out of pretty much everything.” —Pat Sajak

In recently released research by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), analysts discovered that about 63 percent of noncitizen households, those who live legally and illegally in the U.S., use some form of public welfare while only about 35 percent of native-born American households are on welfare.
Likewise, roughly 50 percent of naturalized citizens — those who legally immigrated to the country and became citizens — use taxpayer-funded welfare, as well as about 55 percent of all households headed by legal immigrants, those who are naturalized citizens and those who are not yet citizens.

Time to fill the judiciary slots and cut the leftists crap! BAM!
Rule XXII is designed to force debate on legislation. Historically it has generally not been used on presidential nominations. You can amend legislation, but a nomination is a simple yes-or-no proposition.
Article II of the Constitution specifies that all federal judges require Senate confirmation, as do senior positions in the administration. Currently, 1,200 positions out of 4,100 political appointments in a presidential administration are “principal officers” that are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
Theoretically, the Senate could use its confirmation power to keep seats on the federal judiciary – including even the Supreme Court – open indefinitely. Senators could also employ it to hamstring a presidential administration by denying a vote to presidential nominees for key positions in the government.
In fact, that is what Senate Democrats are doing now. Judges are being slow-walked, with more cloture votes being required in two years for President Trump’s picks than all the judicial nominations of every previous president combined since the filibuster was created in the late 1800s. Similarly, hundreds of the 1,200 Senate-confirmed positions in the Trump administration are still vacant.
After two years of debating what to do about this unprecedented obstruction, Senate Republicans now appear to have the votes to reinterpret Senate rules to rein in this practice. It takes a two-thirds supermajority vote in the Senate (67) to change the chamber’s rules, but it only takes a simple majority (51) to reinterpret existing rules.
Under a reinterpretation proposed by Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), nominees for the Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, the Cabinet, and certain commissions can still receive 30 hours of post-cloture debate. However, nominations for federal trial courts – called district courts – and all other administration posts will be limited to two hours.

Lisa Page testimony released:
“According to Director James Comey, Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code … and, in essence, in order to give Mrs. Clinton a pass, the FBI rewrote the statute.”
It was previously reported that a chart had been shared inside the FBI which did not include “gross negligence” on the list of potential criminal violations that Clinton could’ve been charged with. In front of Congress last year, an email containing the chart was reportedly shown to the assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division Bill Priestap. He testified that he didn’t know why the email said, “DOJ not willing to charge this.” Page’s testimony indicates that the decision not to charge Clinton with gross negligence came directly from the DOJ.
Page’s testimony raises further questions related to the decision not to charge Clinton with any crimes, including gross negligence, following a lengthy FBI investigation into her email practices that potentially put classified information at risk. After the revelation that then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with former President Bill Clinton on a Phoenix tarmac in June 2016, while Hillary Clinton was running for president, Lynch refused to recuse herself from the case while also saying she would accept Comey’s decision on what charges to bring against Clinton. But Page’s testimony indicates that DOJ had shut the door on gross negligence.

John Solomon: Did we need a special counsel probe?
“It’s a reflection of us still not knowing,” Page told Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) when questioned about texts she and Strzok exchanged in May 2017 as Robert Mueller was being named special counsel to take over the Russia investigation.
With that statement, Page acknowledged a momentous fact: After nine months of using some of the most awesome surveillance powers afforded to U.S. intelligence, the FBI still had not made a case connecting Trump or his campaign to Russia’s election meddling.
Page opined further, acknowledging “it still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing” to connect Trump and Russia, no matter what Mueller or the FBI did.
“As far as May of 2017, we still couldn’t answer the question,” she said at another point.
It might take a few seconds for the enormity of Page’s statements to sink in. After all, she isn’t just any FBI lawyer. She was a lead on the Russia case when it started in summer 2016, and she helped it transition to Mueller through summer 2017.
For those who might cast doubt on the word of a single FBI lawyer, there’s more.
Shortly after he was fired, ex-FBI Director James Comey told the Senate there was not yet evidence to justify investigating Trump for colluding with Russia. “When I left, we did not have an investigation focused on President Trump,” Comey testified.
And Strzok, the counterintelligence boss and leader of the Russia probe, texted Page in May 2017 that he was reluctant to join Mueller’s probe and leave his senior FBI post because he feared “there’s no big there, there.”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general asked Strzok shortly before he was fired from the FBI what he meant by that text, and he offered a most insightful answer.
Strzok said he wasn’t certain there was a “broad, coordinated effort” to hijack the election and that the evidence of Trump campaign aides talking about getting dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from Russians might have been just a “bunch of opportunists” talking to heighten their importance.
Strzok added that, while he raised the idea of impeachment in some of his texts to Page, “I am, again, was not, am not convinced or certain that it will,” he told the inspector general.
So, by the words of Comey, Strzok and Page, we now know that the Trump Justice Department — through Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — unleashed the Mueller special counsel probe before the FBI could validate a connection between Trump and Russia.
Which raises the question: If there was no concrete evidence of collusion, why did we need a special counsel?

Looks like the “insurance policy” if Trump won was most likely Meuller. Had all the bases covered.

Move will be revealed……can’t wait for the IG report to be released. A lot of things were set in motion a day or two after two ships passed in the dark on a hot summer’s day on a Phoenix tarmac….like the rejected FISA warrant…

This college admissions story just does not grab me. Like, this is something new? You could line up the two actress mothers and I couldn’t tell ya which is which or who is who. Heck, all these actresses and actors that make the news because of their tweets….I never heard of them before. What does grab me is the amount of money. $500,000 to bribe a kid into college. That one actresses’s daughter said she was only interested in parties, partying, and game day parties, ROFLMAO.
It’s Thursday night, weekend started. Suck it up, bro!
Glad the FBI is taking this seriously. That private tennis coach that the Obama daughters use…well, they went after him with a vengeance. Swat teams flooded the streets, rappelled from the roof smashing through the second floor windows, used C4 explosives to blast through the front door, pulled the wife out of the shower and threw the naked harridan on the floor with assualt rifles pressed against her head, and shot the dog. I always like it when they shoot the dog. Makes for a good story.
Adding insult to injury….
