The continuing corruption of Puerto Rico

Outed, once again, because of focus on Hurricane Florence, about to strike the east coast of the United States near the Carolinas this week.

Whilst on Twitter, I came across the Tweet below which contains important information, attributions and series of photographs. This should make you sick on any number of levels. The human level, the compassion level, the corruption level and the incompetence of Puerto Rico.

I last wrote about Puerto Rico’s corruption involving its Leftist Demorat Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto — who lied baldly to Geraldo Rivera, on October 3rd of 2017. Soto continually claimed that she was getting no help from President Trump. We know that was a lie as documented in my post.

More information has been revealed. First, the Tweet that captured my attention.

Then there was this video from David Begnaud himself:

Here are the enlarged photos of millions of water bottles still stagnating, falling apart, on the aforementioned Puerto Rico runway.

This is, of course, a humanitarian disaster of incredible proportions. It is also a massive, rampant and continuing waste of US taxpayer dollars — money coming from your pocket — so that certain people in Puerto Rico, for political purposes or rank, naked corruption, can point their fingers in damnation at the people who tried to help.

Let’s be blunt. FEMA is not, I repeat: NOT a first responder. They only assist in the aftermath. Local agencies and authorities are responsible for themselves and for coordination with FEMA if an event can be anticipated. Once supplies have been provided, it is up to the local agencies to take the ball and run, with FEMA and other outlets as assistance.

The Puerto Rican situation wasn’t because of a DC dropped ball. It was because of localized ignorance, apathy, corruption or a host of political motivations to include the various island unions that were supposed to be tasked with the movement of aid.

Stop with the “poor Puerto Rico” crap.

Democrats conspire to obstruct Kavanaugh hearing and pay Antifa protesters

And there is evidence to prove it.

Aurally, photographically and otherwise.

But first, this statement: Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed by the Senate.

Beginning, from Breitbart.com:

Dick Durbin Admits: Democrats Plotted to Disrupt Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court Hearing

by Joel B. Pollak

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) admitted Tuesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court that he and other Democrats participated in a conference call on how to disrupt the hearings.

Durbin was responding to a question by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who cited an NBC News tweet from earlier in the morning that reported that Senate Democrats had planned over the Labor Day weekend to use protests and interruptions.

The hearing had already been disrupted several times by protesters — led by the anti-Trump and Democrat-aligned Women’s March, which claimed credit — and several senators also interrupted proceedings with interjections.

Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina asked:

“This is outrageous.” And then Durbin assumes full Deflection Mode.

Schumer Plotted Kavanaugh Disruptions in Weekend Call – Including Execution of Mob Tactics

by Cristina Laila

President Trump’s Supreme Court pick Judge Brett Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning

Democrats and screaming protesters interrupted the hearing for the first half hour.
Judge Kavanaugh has not even been sworn in yet!

It was all planned.

Democrats plotted the coordinated protest over the holiday weekend. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) led a phone call and Committee members are executing now, reported NBC’s Kasie Hunt.

Of course we know the results.

Judge Kavanaugh was heckled by screaming protesters Tuesday morning.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) unleashed on Democrat lawmakers for requesting to delay Kavanaugh’s hearing over ‘withheld documents.’

Kavanaugh gave the Senate Judiciary Committee over 430,000 documents which is two times more than any SCOTUS nominee in US history, but this isn’t good enough for the Democrats.

This occurred the very first day of the hearings last week.

People like this should be led away if for no other reason than their shrill voices break glass and injure the eardrums of small children and animals.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk made some observations about the Kavanaugh protests outside the Capitol. And protesters themselves learned something significant as well: there is a difference between “free speech” on a college campus and free speech in real life. Listen to the purposeful indifference of the police regarding the protester’s umbrage.

But wait; there’s more. Here, the Daily Caller provides an inside peek at the Kavanaugh protests.

So: Antifa and other paid to protest? Naturally.

From LawAndCrime.com:

Doctors claim they saw protesters get paid to disrupt Kavanaugh hearing

by Ronn Blitzer

Judge Brett Kavanaugh‘s Supreme Court confirmation hearing was interrupted several times by protesters who shouted over Senators who were speaking, many of whom were arrested. Now, three men from Texas who were there claim that they saw some of them get paid for their actions.

Video of their comments has been circling in conservative circles, and the men were speaking with Adam Schindler, a digital strategy consultant who is a supporter of President Donald Trump. The doctors’ story has not been verified by any official body, but Schindler has shared photos that appear to back up their claim.

It gets better. Photographically.

In one image that he posted to Twitter, a woman in a black and white top can be seen with a man who appears to be handing her cash. In another photo, an individual who appears to be that same woman is being escorted out of the hearing by officers.

That photo is above. As my professors in college would say, “compare and contrast.”

Same chick, same hair, same ugly dress, getting removed from the Kavanaugh hearing. How about a confirmation photograph?

Check the cash. But why stop there? The article continues:

One of the men, Dr. Tom Schlueter, described one of these alleged transactions.

“One thing was there were people who had come along … who had a bag of money, and people would hand them a piece of paper, and then they would give them money,” he said. “So we know money was exchanged for some of the people to be here, just to protest.”

Schlueter then described instructions that these people supposedly received.

“They were actually told, we heard them say this, ‘when you go in, we want you to yell, to scream, and even possibly to get arrested.’ So that was some of the processes we saw happening,” he recalled.

Good ol’ American grassroots protests. Uh, by people who otherwise wouldn’t be there unless they knew some coin was in the offing. Here is the audio.

Then this from the GatewayPundit.com:

CONFIRMED: Organizer Vinay Krishnan Who Was Caught Paying Off Kavanaugh Protesters — Works for Soros-Linked Organization

by Jim Hoft

On Tuesday several Texas doctors attended the Kavanaugh hearing in Washington DC. After the hearing the doctors told reporter Adam Schindler that they witnessed organized activists with a bag of cash paying the rent-a-mob protesters.

So perhaps you’re wondering, “who is Vinay Krishnan”?

Vinay is an organizer of civil disobedience” who works for a George Soros-funded group, the Center for Popular Democracy.

I’d like to end the post with this, in what is likely the most revealing thing said during the Kavanaugh hearings, spoken by young Two-Fer Kamala Harris, a rising star for Demorat consideration in the 2020 presidential election. Listen to this interchange.

“That book that you carry” is only the US Constitution. But who holds that dear? Her? Leftists? Demorats? The American Media Maggots? Of course not. Kamala Harris couldn’t be more smarmy, dismissive, alienating, snide, smug, berating, self-righteous, arrogant and plastered with what she fervently believes is her inherent intellectual superiority.

But four very important bottom lines are these:

  1. President Trump is just that: the President of the United States of America, and
  2. Neil Gorsuch was confirmed and sits on the SCOTUS bench, and
  3. Judge Brett Kavanaugh is going to get confirmed as a sitting member of SCOTUS, and
  4. I’ll wager President Trump is going to be afforded the opportunity to nominate a third SCOTUS member before the end of his first term or early in his second term.

FISA court documents about to be declassified?

And it couldn’t come at the worst time for the LDAMM.

Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots.

First, from SaraACarter.com:

Lawmakers Call on Trump to Declassify Carter Page FISA

by Sara A. Carter

Lawmakers are asking for 20 pages of the FISA, along with other classified documents

epublican lawmakers called on President Trump to declassify the highly redacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant that allowed the FBI to spy on a short-term Trump campaign volunteer. They are asking for 20 pages of the FISA, along with other classified documents and footnotes, they say the Department of Justice has withheld from their ongoing investigation into the bureau’s handling of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The lawmakers are also asking that Trump declassify the DOJ’s Gang of Eight briefing notebook that was presented only to a select group of lawmakers in the Senate and House this summer, who have access to classified material, according to numerous congressional sources. The third bulk of documents consists of 12 interviews the FBI conducted with DOJ official Bruce Ohr in 2016 regarding his communications with former British spy Christopher Steele, who compiled the anti-Trump unverified dossier. Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for the now embattled research firm Fusion GPS, that was hired by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign to investigate alleged ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Steele was hired by Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, who among others has testified to Congress about his role.

There aren’t but a handful of actual journalists working today. Sara Carter is one of them, along with my highly-principled advocate Susan Katz Keating. I should also care to include John Solomon, Gregg Jarrett, Catherine Herridge, to name but a very select few. Continuing:

President Trump is expected to declassify the documents within the next several weeks, sources tell SaraACarter.com. On Wednesday this news site reported that Trump is listening to lawmakers who complained the Justice Department has been stonewalling and failing to provide Congress with the documents necessary for appropriate oversight.

With this as well:

Over the past month, lawmakers also discovered that Ohr was a backchannel for Steele, who had been removed as a confidential source by the FBI after it was discovered that he was shopping around his dossier in the summer of 2016 to journalists.

The unverified dossier was used by the FBI as evidence to the secret court to obtain a warrant on Carter Page, the short term volunteer for the Trump campaign. The FBI obtained the initial warrant on Page and then three subsequent renewals, of which the final renewal signed was signed in the Spring of 2017 by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Lawmakers say Rosenstein’s involvement presents a serious issue since he signed off on the final FISA warrant and would have had access to all the previous warrants that failed to provide the secret court with the necessary information and led the court to grant the warrant.

Representatives Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows have asked President Trump to declassify the FISA/Carter Page documents.

This information seems to be mirrored by former US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Joseph diGenova, as interviewed by Tucker Carlson last week.

Further, apparently Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — the titular head of the US Department of Justice since Jeff Sessions recused himself back in January of 2017 — is finding himself appropriately under the microscope as well.

This from the Sean Hannity Show, as he discusses the situation with Sara Carter, Gregg Jarrett and Joseph diGenova:

Continuing from SaraACarter.com:

But lawmakers, specifically the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, along with the aide of the government watchdog group Judicial Watch discovered among the troves of documents that they have obtained over the past year that the FBI failed to provide significant exculpatory evidence to the FISC judges and other major discrepancies in the application and the way the FBI handled its investigation.

Can you imagine the state of these United States if it is proven, beyond any doubt, that the allegations are correct?

Can you say “soft coup against a presidential candidate, a president-elect and a sitting president?”

I knew you could.
