Were Feinstein & Blum Partners in Crime: Feinstein’s second husband died of cancer Bertram Feinstein in 1978, (m. 1962; died 1978). From the article below you can read that Blum met her in 1977 (supposedly). Blum was an Advisor to Mayo George Moscone, in 1978, the year Moscone was killed as Mayor. __Too many coincidences.

• First was Dianne dating Blum since 1977, while married to Feinstein? (She met Blum in 1977, but they ran in the same circles long before that!)

• Second, it’s rather odd that Blum advised Moscone and I’m sure Milk, and both of them were killed while Feinstein was dying to get in as Mayor; and became acting Mayor when Moscone was killed.

• Third: Did Feinstein come up with the idea for Blum to invest in China?

• Fourth: Is Feinstein a vampire? She outlived all three husbands.

• Fifth: Is Feinstein part of the Chinese Mafia in America, she was very close like Pelosi to the Chinese in San Francisco and we know she had a Chines spy driving for her years. (BTW PDJT was indicted for a non-disclosure agreement where the statute of limitations expired 4 years ago and Feinstein was not charged with treason to have a Chinese spy driving her for many years (that was not unknown, the FBI holds power of the leaders by what they find, that way they get what the want. And none of them get charged.)

• Third Husband: Richard C. Blum (m. 1980; died 2022)

Richard Blum Met Dianne Feinstein in 1977 Through San Francisco Politics

Richard Blum remained out of the public and political spotlight for the majority of his professional life. But his job in the late 1970s put him in thesame circles as his future wife. They reportedly first met in 1977.

Blum was working as anadviserto Mayor of San Francisco George Moscone. Dianne Feinstein was a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She was also married to her second husband at the time, neurosurgeon Bertram Feinstein. He died of colon cancer in 1978.

Blum and Feinsteinfound themselves in the middle of acrisisthat year. On November 27, 1978, Mayor Moscone was assassinated, along with supervisor Harvey Milk. Former Board of Supervisors member Dan White shot them both at the government offices;Feinstein wasthe first person to find Harvey Milk’s body. She also addressed the crowd at City Hall, explaining what had happened. White was later found guilty of voluntary manslaughter.

Feinstein became theacting mayorof San Francisco, then was elected to the position in 1979.

Blum supported Feinstein’s political ascent. It’s unclear exactly when they started dating, but they gotmarried in 1980at San Francisco City Hall. An engagement announcement published March 5, 1979, stated that this was the second marriage for Richard Blum. He was previously married to Andrea Schwartz, with whom he shared three daughters.

 

Richard Blum’s Extensive Investments in China in the Late 1990s Prompted Questions About Possible Conflicts of Interest For His Wife Richard Blum’s vast array of financial assets included investments in China. In 1992, his interests in China were valued at less than $500,000. But according to a 1997 report in the Los Angeles Times, Blum’s investmentssignificantly increasedin the years after his wife became a senator. In 1996, Blum reportedly invested $23 million into a steel company owned by the Chinese government, firms also acquired assets in companies that produce soybean milk and candy, according to the LA Times report, Blum’s private equity firm had investments with Shanghai Pacific, and Golden China, a technology company.

She has insisted that she was not influenced by her husband’s business dealings, telling the NY Times, “We have built a firewall.” In 1996, Senator Feinstein sat on the East Asian and Pacific Affairs subcommittee, which is part of the Foreign Relations Committee. Part of the subcommittee’s job was handling relations between the U.S. and China.

Senator Feinstein an advocate for expanded trade with China and wasinstrumentalin making China a member of the World Trade Organization in 1999. That same year, a spokesperson for the senator said that Blum had divested of his holdings in mainland China;but according to a report in 2000, Newbridge Capital, a venture capital firm supported by Blum’s firm, continued to own stock in Chinese corporations worth millions of dollars.

The senator has come under new scrutiny more recently in relation to China. In2013, the FBI discovered that a Chinese-American spy had been working in Senator Feinstein’s office since 1996, and had been reporting back to China’s Ministry of State Security. Feinstein said the staffer was immediately let go from her office after the FBI discovered who he really was, and insisted that the staffer had never had access to sensitive information.

House Republicans Tout Record During First 100 Days

By Nathan Worcester

April 17, 2023Updated: April 18, 2023

 

House Republican leaders showcasedtheir message discipline on April 17, and made their decision to reopen the U.S. Capitol a touchstone of their record during the first 100 days of the 118th Congress. “In our first 100 days, House Republicans not only reopened the House, as our speaker talked about—the People’s House, by the way, not Pelosi’s House—we passed a rules package to create a more transparent, member-driven legislative process,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) in a press conference with many GOP colleagues.

 

Emmer was referencing a package championed by 20 House Republican dissidents, who initially resisted electing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) Speaker of the House. “For the first time in seven years,we had a complete open rule,” McCarthy noted in his remarks at the press conference.

 

“More bills have been signed into law in this Congress than the last, even though we have divided government,” he told reporters. McCarthy also described the Senate under the leadership of Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as “unproductive” compared with the chamber he leads.

 

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) reminded Americans that President Joe Biden ultimately signed a resolution to overturn a controversial crime bill from Washington, D.C.’s city council. That marked a reversal from his earlier stance against the GOP-led effort.

 

“If he [Biden] comes out against a bill, [that] means there’s a pretty good chance he actually might end up signing it into law,” Scalise said.

Members also stressed their ability to work across the aisle in the current House—not the story told in most reporting about D.C. lawmakers in 2023.

 

“House Republicans are accomplishing a lot in a productive, bipartisan fashion,” said McCarthy, who noted that more than80 percentof the bills passed so far have been bipartisan.

 

“Every member of this conference is laser-focused on listening to the American people, keeping our promises, and delivering those results,” said

 

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who chairs the House Republican Conference. In addition to spotlighting the reopening of the Capitol, a critical and symbolic move roughly two years after the events of Jan. 6, 2021, the Republicans who spoke on April 17 frequently alluded to McCarthy’s “Commitment to America.”

 

China, Energy, COVID, Parental Rights

Emmer highlighted the creation of a select committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the current Congress, as well as the passage of a bill to prevent the sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, benefitting the CCP.

 

The House’s freshman class president, Rep. Russel Fry (R-S.C.), took issue with Biden’s “non-existent approach to a hostile China,” saying that the House was investigating financial links between the Biden family and CCP-linked individuals.

 

Scalise challenged Schumer to take up the House Republicans’ signature energy bill, H.R. 1. Today is the 100-day mark of Republicans holding the majority in the House. And one thing is abundantly clear: the People’s House is a productive House again. https://t.co/z97i0Pg9aN — Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) April 17, 2023

 

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), another freshman in the House, said that the United States’ reliance on foreign adversaries for energy under the Biden’s policies is “a clear issue of national security.”

 

House Republicans also touted their policy leadership in ending the COVID-19 national emergency and passing the Parents Bill of Rights Act, among other moves.

 

“Democrats want bureaucrats to be in charge. Republicans stand with parents,” said another Congressional newcomer Rep. Erin Houchins (R-Ind.).

De Blasio Argues ‘MAGA Extremism’ Will Be Florida’s Achilles Heel

During a debate that pitted Florida against New York, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed that “MAGA extremism” will ultimately undermine the Sunshine State, even as it attracts tens of thousands of former New Yorkers.

 

The Democrat predicted many skilled Floridians would leave the state due to policies such as a newly passed six-week abortion ban. (Good, if they don’t like the no state taxes, they can go, but 1,000s are moving their daily)

 

New Yorkers, by contrast, “feel safe from extremism” and “feel safe from intolerance,” according to de Blasio, who was succeeded as mayor by Eric Adams in 2022. (Are you fucking kidding me, they are getting mugged, shot, knifed, beat up daily and they are afraid of extremism in speech?)

 

He argued that his home city remains anunmatched place for opportunitydespite what he characterized as “overly restrictive immigration laws.” New York, a self-described “sanctuary city,” limits cooperation between local law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

 

The debate titled “Is Florida Eating New York’s Lunch?” was organized by Intelligence Squared and will air on public radio May 5. The former two-term mayor, now teaching a course at New York University, squared off against Reihan Salam, president of the conservative Manhattan Institute, and himself the son of Bangladeshi immigrants.

 

Salam presented the viewpoint that Florida is beating New York, while de Blasio took the opposing view. Salam never seriously challenged de Blasio’s culture war broadsides, which the politician did not fail to miss.

 

The Manhattan Institute president did note that New York State had been bleeding population at least since 2010 even as Florida’s population surpassed that of the Empire State in 2013. New York, he pointed out, had not become less tolerant during that period, suggesting other factors were at play.

 

Salam zeroed in onschool test scores, public disorder, and, in particular, housing costs. He argued that those factors worked to the disadvantage of New York, driving away the working and middle class even as millionaires proliferated. “We’re really losing strivers,” Salam declared.

 

He claimed that the city’s density, which makes it commercially and culturally vibrant, leaves it vulnerable to even small increases in crime, noise, and congestion. Unlike tightly packed New Yorkers, Floridians “can just hop in their SUVs” to get away from certain nuisances, he said.

 

De Blasio, born Warren Wilhelm, Jr., began by telling the story of his maternal grandparents, who came to Gotham from southern Italy, and whose name he adopted in 2002. He said he respected Florida and was “not here to be negative to another state.” That assertion, however, appeared tocontradicthis repeated references to “MAGA extremism.”

 

Salam, for his part, repeatedly stressed his own love of New York City, saying he personally wouldn’t choose to live in Florida. De Blasio asserted that the city’s improved tourist numbers since the end of COVID showed that it was gaining new strength. (what??? Of course it went up, but it’s not as high as before)

 

He argued that even itshigh housing pricessignaled the city’s essential vitality: “The rents are high because people want to be here.” Moderator John Donvan pointed out that the debaters were conflating New York City and New York State.

 

On Salam’s telling, that strengthened the case thatFlorida is indeed “eating New York’s lunch.” The conservative commentator argued that Upstate New York had lost out because of policies that are more to New York City’s liking. He also blamed unaffordable housing in and beyond the city, also citing suburban sprawl and long, tiresome commutes from places like the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania.

 

“Do some people end up going to suburbs? Sure,” de Blasio said, adding that New York is far from the only place in America where sprawl is a problem. He argued that Florida’s conservative politics would ultimately make immigrants feel unwelcome.

 

De Blasio disagreed with Salam’s assertion that New Yorkers’high taxesdeliver relatively poor services. According to de Blasio, Salam had offended the city’s workforce.

 

The former mayor also took issue with Salam’s emphasis on school test scores, saying they were “not the only” way to assess educational performance. (Yeah, actually it is! This guy is dumber than anyone could imagine)

I wonder if the media is freaked out because Morrell told them he coordinated with all the media to drop the story at one time. Of course the media is going to deny they knew it was a farce but they have the info directly from the prior leader of the CIA.

Ukrainian President Zelensky and Rep. Liz Cheney named JFK ‘Profile in Courage’ award recipients for ‘defending democracy’

 

By Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN

Published 12:38 PM EDT, Fri April 22, 2022

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming are among this year’s recipients of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award for the “courage they’ve shown protecting democracy in the United States and abroad.”

Michigan Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Arizona Republican House Speaker Rusty Bowers and Fulton County, Georgia, election worker Wandrea “Shaye” Moss are also being honored with the award this year, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced Thursday.

The foundation praised Zelensky, whose country is fighting off an invasion by Russia, for his “principled leadership” and marshaling the “spirit, patriotism, and untiring sacrifice of the Ukrainian people in a life-or-death fight for their country.”

“With candor and clarity, he has focused the eyes of the world on the existential threat facing Ukraine, and on the need for robust, uncompromising international engagement and cooperation to safeguard all democratic societies,” the foundation said in a news release.

The other recipients were honored with the award for standing up to former Donald Trump and his allies’ false claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election and efforts to overturn the election results.

A staunch Republican, Cheney voted to impeach former President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021, when a violent mob stormed the US Capitol building, seeking to stop Congress’ certification of the 2020 election. She was ousted last year from her leadership role in the Republican House caucus after she repeatedly called out Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election. Cheney now serves as the vice chair of the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack.

The foundation lauded Cheney as a “consistent and courageous voice in defense of democracy,” saying that – despite the death threats she faced over her impeachment vote – she “refused to take the politically expedient course that most of her party embraced.”

As Michigan’s chief election officer, Benson was threatened and harassed, including armed protesters gathering outside her home, for certifying Joe Biden’s win in Michigan. Bowers, a Republican, resisted pressure from Trump and his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani to replace Arizona’s electors with illegitimate, alternate electors that would elect Trump. Moss became the target of a false accusation that she had processed fake ballots for Biden and faced death threats and racist taunts.

“These honorees have placed their careers and lives on the line to protect democratic principles and free and fair elections,” the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation said. “They embody what President Kennedy admired most in others—political courage.”

The Profile in Courage Award, created in 1989, is presented to “public servants who have made courageous decisions of conscience without regard for the personal or professional consequences.”

Past recipients of the award include Presidents Barack Obama and George H. W Bush, Sens. Mitt Romney and the late John McCain, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the late US Rep. John Lewis.
