Time to investigate the investigators?

 

Many in the mainstream media and on the left have been salivating since the Mueller memos were released last week. They believe that the information in the memos has brought them one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal, whereby President Trump is impeached and incarcerated. As they see it, information from various individuals is trickling in, and those on the left and their media sidekicks are predicting a very ominous future for the president. However, if the media and those on the left want to critique the information allegedly being disclosed, perhaps they should use the same lens and look at some of the allegations that have been made about the investigation and how it was conducted before rendering judgment

France to impose new tax on internet and tech giants

 

France has said it will impose its own tax on large internet and technology companies from January 1.

 

French finance minister Bruno Le Maire said at a news conference in Paris on Monday that the measure would be introduced "whatever happens".

 

"It will be for the whole of 2019 for an amount that we estimate at 500 million euros [$570 million]," he said.

 

Monday's move could help Paris close a multibillion-euro hole in the 2019 budget left by President Emmanuel Macron's new measures for low-income families, which were introduced last week to appease the "yellow vest" protesters.

 

France has long been pushing hard for a so-called "GAFA tax" - named after Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon - to ensure the global giants pay a fair share of taxes on their massive business operations in the European Union.

Whatever happened to

 

Truth In Advertising

 

When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether it’s on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence. The Federal Trade Commission enforces these truth-in-advertising laws, and it applies the same standards no matter where an ad appears – in newspapers and magazines, online, in the mail, or on billboards or buses. The FTC looks especially closely at advertising claims that can affect consumers’ health or their pocketbooks – claims about food, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, alcohol, and tobacco and on conduct related to high-tech products and the Internet. The FTC also monitors and writes reports about ad industry practices regarding the marketing of alcohol and tobacco.

 

When the FTC finds a case of fraud perpetrated on consumers, the agency files actions in federal district court for immediate and permanent orders to stop scams; prevent fraudsters from perpetrating scams in the future; freeze their assets; and get compensation for victims.

Trump Was Right Again… Today’s Deep State Charges on Foreign Lobbying Could Spell Doom for John Kerry

 

The Deep State made sure these charges would be announced and linked to General Flynn ONE DAY before a federal judge will sentence the former Trump official for lying to the FBI.

 

These Monday charges could spell doom for John Kerry.

 

Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry held secret meetings in May 2018 with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

 

Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage the Iranian nuclear deal.

 

Kerry did not register as a foreign lobbyist.

 

President Trump slammed the former Secretary of State for not registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

 

John Kerry had illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian Regime, which can only serve to undercut our great work to the detriment of the American people. He told them to wait out the Trump Administration! Was he registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act? BAD!

Modi’s plans for India’s central bank borrow from the future

 

The resignation of Urjit Patel, governor of the Reserve Bank of India, is a sign the prime minister hopes to engineer short-term economic gain. What he’ll get is long-term pain

 

It has been a rough week for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi – and a troubling one for investors in South Asia’s emerging economic giant.

 

Last weekend, voters in three key states turned away from Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), choosing instead the opposition Congress party in local elections: a worrying sign for the prime minister ahead of national elections that must be held by May 2019.

 

Then last Monday, Urjit Patel, governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), resigned following an extended dispute with Modi’s government, the second boss of India’s central bank to quit his job in a little over two years.
