Wow, Not surprising though, last article I posted shows an Emanuel connection also, he was there in Puerto Rico before Gutierrez, announced his retirement. So we have, a hud connection (money missing or stolen both US and Puerto Rico), his wife being paid a large sum of money from the campaign and Emanuel being in Puerto Rico, what could go wrong, kek
Pollsters: Trump knows ‘how to win,' would beat 2020 liberal 'decisively'
Democratic pollster John Zogby doesn’t care much for many of President Trump’s policies and thinks the man is rude, but he’s also coming to the conclusion that the Republican has something very big going for him. “Some people just know how to win,” said Zogby, who didn’t think Trump would make it out of the Republican primaries in 2016. After two years of polling on Trump, Zogby said that the president is emerging as an unusual non-politician who has confounded his critics and even his own party leaders by succeeding on an aggressive agenda that has pleased his supporters.
He compares Trump to three former presidents, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, who entered office to shock from the ruling elite. “With all three there was sense by the elites that this was the end of the world,” said Zogby. But like them, Trump has connected with many in the country by battling the ruling powers. In his latest John Zogby Strategies poll, 54 percent view Trump as one “who is fighting the Washington, D.C. establishment,” compared to 26 percent who view him as an insider. He revealed the results in his Forbes Magazine column. It is part of what Trump campaign pollster John McLaughlin called the president’s profile as the “blue collar billionaire,” a leader standing up to Washington, and last week NATO, for taxpayers and workers. “If you are a working class person, it feels to you that he is fighting for you,” McLaughlin said. “He’s their president.”
New polling from Zogby’s son Jonathan, who conducts the trademarked Zogby Poll, revealed that feeling is true even among some Hispanics and African Americans. His polling shows that a sizable portion of minorities feel positive about their lives and future finances under Trump, something that his father John Zogby said could “lessen the fervor to say, ‘We’re going to Hell, I’ve got to get this guy out of there.’ ” While Trump’s critics suggest that there has never been such a threatening president, Zogby said that the same charges were filed against Jackson, Lincoln and Roosevelt, and they won reelection. “They don’t remember that we’ve been here before. There is precedent,” he said. And while a lot can happen between now and 2020, including a trade war hit on the economy to the fallout of the Russia probe, Zogby and McLaughlin said there are signs of Trump winning a second term.
McLaughlin said that the Democrats are heading to nominating a far-left candidate that will be out of the mainstream of voters. He noted that California, home to a sizable number of left-leaning anti-Trump voters, moved up its 2020 primary to the early Super Tuesday group of primaries and caucuses to have a greater impact on picking the nominee. If they help pick a nominee who favors open borders and liberal social policies, McLaughlin predicted that Trump would be “decisively elected.”
Zogby is more cautious, but said that if the Democrats pick a fresh new candidate, Trump will win. “I think that Trump crushes a new face,” said Zogby. His pick: the Democratic Party’s elder statesman, former Vice President Joe Biden, who he said could flick off Trump attacks with humor. “I can see Biden standing up there and saying, ‘Oh Donald, don’t be ridiculous. Look what we accomplished.’”

The Meeting Between Trump and Putin Sparks Several Protests – Here Are the Most Notable Ones
The meeting between the US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Helsinki on Monday, July 16, has sparked at least 10 protests across the city.
The most notable one, where the organizers are expecting as much as 15,000 people, is named “Helsinki Calling!” The agenda of the protest is that “with international attention focused on Helsinki, we invite people to raise a strong and powerful voice in defense of human rights, democracy, peace and climate action.”
Another notable protest is called “Helsinki against Trump and Putin” and will be arranged on Monday at the Finlandia Hall. “The media center is located there, so we’re hoping to get more attention,” one of the organizers said.
Welcome Trump!
Meanwhile, The Finns Party Youth organization is arranging a welcoming protest for the honor of Trump at the Narinkkatori in Kamppi on Sunday afternoon.
“The Finns Party Youth warmly welcomes You to Finland and to Helsinki! It is a great honor for us to get the head of state from the world’s leading Western democracy for a visit to our country,” they said in an open letter. “Especially Your immigration policy pleases our members. A sovereign state must be able to secure its borders—even if it means building walls. This wise thinking is forgotten by many decision-makers of today.”

Of that there can be no doubt! Slim ball is in every protest there is, he'll stop at nothing for his open boarders.
Protests Are Becoming Carnivals in Finland, And It’s Really Ineffective
Festival: A day or period of celebration, typically for religious reasons.
Carnival: An annual festival, typically during the week before Lent in Roman Catholic countries, involving processions, music, dancing and the use of masquerade.
Protest: An organized public demonstration expressing strong objection to an official policy or course of action.
A few months ago, I attended a protest that was held at the Railway Square of Helsinki in support of refugees after an asylum seeker’s attempted suicide. To my surprise, the attempt was cheered (yes I repeat, cheered) on by members of an anti-immigration Neo-Nazi group. My faith in humanity is lost on a daily basis as a result of such incidents. Then I became almost convinced that I was at the wrong place, hardly expecting to see a DJ on a stage, a crowd swaying to the music and people handing out candy at a rally for such a somber cause. Sure, it was great to see the biggest museum in Finland, in front of which the demonstration was organized, display a banner welcoming refugees. It was moving to see the refugees dance excitedly to the reggae beats spun by some DJ who was the main act at the demonstration. But for me, this is exactly the problem. That a DJ is the main act of a political rally rather than the representatives of political parties only serves to demonstrate one of the ways that entertainment has infiltrated the ranks of politics. This wasn’t a protest. It was a protestival.
In European traditions, from ancient Greek and Roman festivities like Dionysia and Saturnalia, festivals have been occasions for inversion, escalation and transgression. The word is often used interchangeably with “carnival,” a season of festive events culminating in massive street processions with roots in Roman Catholic pre-Lenten festivities that permitted a release from the limitations and pressures of the social order, allowing relationships of comity even amongst strangers and indulgence in tabooed excesses. Neither of these words would appear to have much in common with “protests,” especially if one consults the Oxford dictionary definition for the meaning of these terms. But around the world, the carnivalization of protests or the movement of “protestivals,” to use the term coined by John Jacob, is gaining momentum. Considered to be sites of creative resistance, protestivals are not a recent invention but come with a history dating back to the ’60s where they found expression in counter-cultural movements attempting to forge alternative lifestyles. The main commitment of the protestival was to simply come together and display an empathetic sociality, transgressing and subverting official culture. Those who endorse the idea of the protestival elevate it beyond the status of an entertaining show to a temporary autonomous breach of norms, empowering its participants to forge “a new world” while getting jiggy with it. And yes, for a temporary period, one can see how hierarchies, ranks and norms were suspended during the protestival where asylum seekers mingled with locals, both old and young, shook their legs, raised their hands and came together.
Yet, a sustained change, which is usually the goal of a protest, is hard to bring about through a protestival where the focus is all about being together in the here and now. The asylum seeker whose suicide attempt was cheered on deserves more than a street party held on the pretext of solidarity. He and others in his situation deserve a real and carefully considered discussion of their futures by those who control them. They deserve a guarantee not to face discrimination and xenophobia in a country like Finland that supposedly values equality. They deserve to know that after risking their lives by crossing oceans to attain peace, peace will be given to them. Entertainment has always been used as a form of escapism. From the mundane realities of life, from work, from stress . . . . But unleashed in politics, it permits a distraction from engaging in the conversations that the public need to be part of and leaves no one accountable. After all, once we get home from our day out at the protestival, upload those sanctimonious “I attended a protest for a good cause” photos, once the good deed for the day is done, escaping with some more light entertainment, this time from the television, is an option.
Meanwhile, those whose rights were at stake in the protest go to their makeshift home and contemplate their options but it turns out, they weren’t given any.

Putin over an hour late to summit with Trump

President Trump and Putin to Meet at the Presidential Palace on Monday – Here’s the Schedule
The manhole covers have been welded shut at the Northern Esplanade, the street paved with cobblestones, in front of the Market Square in Helsinki. There won’t be any blueberries, strawberries, vegetables or souvenirs available on Monday, July 16. The whole Market Square stays shut as the Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, arrive for their meeting at the Presidential Palace in the afternoon. Before this historic meeting is to take place, the Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and his spouse, Jenni Haukio, will welcome President Trump and Mrs Melania Trump at their official residence in Mäntyniemi in the morning. While Niinistö and Trump talk politics, Mrs Haukio and Mrs Trump will have breakfast together. Then, about 13:00, Trump and Putin will be welcomed by Niinistö at the palace and the bilateral discussions can begin at the impressive Gothic Hall under the 22 decorative paintings of provincial and civic coats of arms bordering the ceiling. The exact agenda of their talks is still unknown.After that, the presidents will sit down for a working lunch in the Hall of Mirrors. After lunch, the presidents will hold a press conference and then Niinistö will meet his Russian counterpart.
2,000 Police Officers
The summit will bring about 2,000 police officers to Helsinki from all police departments, even from Lapland. Many are returning to work in the middle of their vacations. There will be roadblocks, but how many is still unsure. According to the Helsinki Police Department, at least Mannerheimintie in the city center and Tuusulantie leading to the Helsinki Airport will be blocked and emptied when the presidents are on the move.
President Niinistö said earlier to Finland Today that offering good services like this is ultimately about “enhancing peace.” Finland will offer a neutral meeting ground for two of the most powerful world leaders. The meeting is also good for the city’s economy—especially for hotels where they are already seeing spikes in reservations. “Usually we are aware of conferences that involve thousands of taxis years before. This, however, was organized in two weeks,” said Laura Tarkka, CEO of Kämp Collection Hotels. “That’s also why Helsinki was such a good option [for the summit] because there aren’t many places that maybe could do this even if they had more capacity.”

Very true did you see what lengths they went to for security? Interesting, seems as though they went all out.
Thanks, want to investigate that angle a bit further.
