last bread:
Schiffty be sayin':
Trump did nothing for two years.
And illegal border crossings are way down. Congress considered and rejected a wall. Intel chiefs didn’t even mention the southern border.
That’s as poor a legal case for a national emergency as you can make.
Trump will need those 17 new lawyers.

Interdasting, James:
Interesting. If true, would explain the laughably overwrought #leftist bias of the media. Most of the “journalists” slithering around the bowels of #FakeNews outlets like #CNN are pinkos anyway. This is just frosting on the cake…

It was called the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act signed into law in 2016 by then-President Obama (and allowed by Establishment Republicans like Paul Ryan) that took effect in 2017 and allocated a whopping $160 MILLION taxpayer dollars over two years to pay for government-sponsored propaganda. The money is now gone and guess what? About 1000 journalists are suddenly being laid off.
Coincidence? Hah! This was classic Obama, reaching into the bottomless trough of taxpayer dollars to push his self-promoting agenda. He did it with green energy, America-last trade agreements, and his post-2016 coverage to help ensure he remained relevant in order to quickly accumulate tens of millions of dollars worth of book deals, Netflix deals, and speaking fees.
It’s enough to make even the Clintons blush.

Venezuelan Central Bank employees and other bankers should accept President Guaido’s amnesty now rather than be held accountable for plundering the country’s wealth.

As Nicolas Maduro struggles to hold onto power and speculation swirls that the regime is trying plunder Venezuela’s gold reserves, the crisis is also playing out within the halls of the central bank itself: staffers are waging a small mutiny and refusing to sign-off on key bank transactions.
Some staff members received early retirement offers Friday after disregarding orders from upper management, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter. Tensions inside the bank are brewing, as staffers fret about potential repercussions of signing off on certain operations and discontent bubbles over as Venezuela’s economic and political outlook deteriorates.
A press official for the central bank declined to comment.
Attempts by President Maduro to repatriate $1.2 billion of gold from the Bank of England and plans to ship 20 tons of the metal abroad for cash have been stymied in the past several weeks, bringing Banco Central de Venezuela’s $8.4 billion of reserves under international scrutiny. The U.S. and more than a dozen countries have condemned Maduro as illegitimate and backed National Assembly President Juan Guaido in his attempt at pushing for regime change and new free and fair elections
>two thirds of the funding allocated to the State Department under the bill meant to be transferred by the Pentagon to the State Department was never transfered. As of March 2018, the State Department has restricted counter-propoganda efforts on combating Jihadi terror groups, like ISIS
Another high-ranking officer recognizes the legitimate president of Venezuela. The U.S. urges all Venezuelan military to follow the leadership of General Yanez, and to protect peaceful protesters who support democracy today.
