Trevor Noah is a tool. He is used by whoever pays him to shame and guilt folks into believing the lies he is peddling for that particular day. He will move on to the next paid endorsement soon enough. Who is paying him to race bait is important. Who is the puppeteer controlling Mr. Noah?

Johnathan Turley on Swalwell.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy filed a resolution aimed to remove Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The privileged resolution will force a vote (if only to table to resolution) and members will have to go on record on the scandal. Swalwell reportedly had an intimate relationship with a Chinese spy who raised money for him and helped place individuals in his office. However, he has insisted that he did not reveal classified information and that the FBI found no wrongdoing. Two striking narratives will emerge in the vote. McCarthy insists that the seal file shows disqualifying conduct while Democrats have portrayed Swalwell in more heroic terms, including one leading Democrat actually saying that Swalwell deserves to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for the affair. Putting aside the manifest ineligibility of Swalwell on both a technical and credible basis, the immediate question is why the file remains sealed in its entirely since the Chinese and its spy already know what happened. So does Swalwell. The only people in the dark are most voting members and, of course, the voters themselves. The closed file raises a difficult question balancing the need for an informed vote for members against the need for privacy for an accused member.
The two-page resolution states that Swalwell “has not denied public reporting that a suspected Chinese intelligence operative helped raise money for Representative Swalwell’s political campaigns” and “other troublesome elements of public reporting.” In response, Swalwell denounced the resolution as pure “McCarthyism” for not mentioning that the FBI found “no wrongdoing.”
It was an ironic moment for Swalwell how has been previously denounced for denying basic due process to others in past investigations and supported the surveillance of the Trump campaign under the Obama Administration.
Yet the most curious element will be that most members and the public will not know what is in this file when the vote occurs. Why? While there may be a legitimate basis for redactions, the basic facts can be disclosed on the involvement of the Chinese agent Fang Fang in raising money or pushing hires or interns in Swalwell’s office. Moreover, the nature of the relationship remains sealed and Swalwell refuses to answer basic questions on that relationship…

And their divorce didn't hurt him.
We have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals.
You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited
period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we're not bound by that same limitation? -Reagan.
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.
From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be
managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of
the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the
capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the
burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher
price. _Reagan
Kek.
Thought i'd put up a partial reminder of when someone in Government actually said what was wrong with the government itself.

Flynn case verdict reversed.
New - Rafiekian (Flynn Intel Group) case update.
Last year, the trial judge acquitted Rafiekian of all charges after a jury conviction.
The judge cited insufficient evidence to convict.
The 4th Circuit has reversed the judgment of acquittal.

Sorry, correction; Reopening case against Flynn's associate
At that time, Rafiekian was an executive at the now-dissolved Flynn Intel Group— an eponymous consulting and lobbying firm that he co-founded with retired Lt. Gen.Michael T. Flynn. Within ten days of the failed coup—and just six days after DOJ rebuffedTurkey’s initial demand for Gulen—Rafiekian and Flynn began dialoguing with EkimAlptekin, a Turkish businessman.
Thanks for the correction, Baker.
