DOE Rick Perry & Team Visits Underground 'U1a" Facility in Nevada

Statement from Secretary Perry on NNSS Visit

AUGUST 1, 2019

NORTH LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - Today, U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, Deputy Secretary Dan Brouillette, Under Secretary for Nuclear Security and Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Lisa E. Gordon-Hagerty, and Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak visited the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) near Las Vegas.

The DOE leadership team provided Governor Sisolak both unclassified and classified briefings on the critical national security work accomplished by the 3,000 Nevadan men and women who work there. Over $900 million dollars a year are spent directly in Nevada because of NNSS. In addition, $190 million is also awarded annually to small businesses, and 1,500 subcontract jobs are made possible in southern Nevada through the work conducted at the Site.

During the visit, the group toured the Radioactive Waste Management Complex, the Device Assembly Facility, and the underground “U1a” facility where the United States conducts vital national security work to maintain the Nation’s nuclear deterrent.

Following the day-long visit, Secretary Perry stated, “I appreciate the Governor taking the time to learn more about the vital national security missions being performed by the dedicated patriots who work at the Nevada National Security Site. The Department remains committed to working closely with Nevada state officials in an open and transparent way to support this great resource and maintain our trust and credibility with the people of Nevada.”

Ben & Jerry's founders unveil new ice cream flavor in support of Bernie Sanders

The founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream are once again showing their support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield unveiled on Friday a new, limited edition flavor, along with a contest that people can enter to win a pint. The new flavor, named "Bernie's Back!," is cinnamon and features a chocolate disc on top with "a (very stiff) butter toffee backbone going down the middle."

Cohen and Greenfield are long-time Sanders supporters. During his presidential run in 2016, the founders made a flavor called "Bernie's Yearning." Similar to "Bernie's Back!," the ice cream featured a chocolate disc on top to represent the 1%.

Woman who threw drink at Matt Gaetz pleads guilty

A woman reportedly pleaded guilty on Thursday to assault after she threw a drink at GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) at a town hall event in June.

Amanda Kondrat’yev, 35, pleaded guilty in Pensacola, Fla., CBS Miami reports. Kondrat’yev faces up to a year in prison and will face sentencing on Oct. 17.

Kondrat’yev was part of a group of protesters outside a June town hall that Gaetz attended, and she reportedly held a sign that read “Gaetz wipe the blood off your hands, A+ rating NRA, save our kids vote Gaetz out 2020,” Roll Call reports.

When Gaetz, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, left the event, a drink came flying out of the crowd and appeared to hit him in the arm.

It was unclear from video whether the drink actually spilled on Gaetz, but the congressman is seen reacting to being struck from behind and turning to point to one of the protesters.

Gaetz said after the incident that he was pressing charges out of fear that similar things would happen to him or his staff in the future.

“If there are no consequences, then maybe it's me getting hit with a drink one time, but what if it's a member of my staff. What if instead of a drink it's acid or urine?” he said during a Fox News appearance.

Over 100 infected as Tuberculosis OUTBREAK hits German school

Health officials have been scrambled to a school in southwestern Germany where dozens of children have been infected with lung-choking tuberculosis.

A total of 109 students, teachers and other school employees at the Michael Ende non-denominational school have found themselves in the grip of the disease, following an outbreak in the town of Bad Schönborn.

Authorities revealed that four people, including two students, have active cases of tuberculosis, meaning they could be contagious. The four have been removed from the school and are receiving medical treatment.

“We cannot rule out the possibility that there will be new cases of active illness,” Ulrich Wagner from the Karlsruhe health department said to the Badische Neueste Nachrichten newspaper.

The outbreak comes after two children in two separate schools in Bad Schönborn were found in early July to have active tuberculosis. The disease has since continued to spread in the Michael Ende school. The eighth grade class has been particularly badly affected, with 56 students –88 percent of the entire class– contracting the illness.

Local broadcaster SWR is reporting that health officials are now examining the school building to determine how the bacteria was able to infect so many people.

TB was virtually eliminated here in the US until open borders were declared… Germany experiencing a similar result.

When are politicians going to put the TWO together?

Former Sheriff of Philadelphia Sentenced to Prison

The former Sheriff of Philadelphia John Green, 72, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was sentenced today to serve five years in prison followed by one year of supervised release, and ordered to forfeit $76,581 by U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

John Green was convicted of conspiring to defraud the citizens of Philadelphia of his honest services as Sheriff of Philadelphia by receiving and accepting a stream of hidden personal benefits from co-defendant James Davis in exchange for giving Davis millions of dollars of business at the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office. From 2002 to 2011, Green accepted hidden bribes and kickbacks from his co-defendant Davis totaling over $675,000. The bribes and kickbacks that Davis gave to Green included: (1) a move-in ready home in Philadelphia for Green and his new wife in 2003, with rent-free living and then Green’s purchase of the home at a discount; (2) employment of Green’s new wife as a subcontractor when she started a new business in 2004, paying her over $89,000, and being the primary and at times sole employer of Green’s wife; (3) facilitation of over $65,000 in hidden campaign contributions to Green’s 2007 re-election campaign through others; (4) payment of over $148,000 in advertising for Green’s 2007 re-election campaign and falsely reporting the payments on the campaign finance reports; and (5) over $320,000 in payments to Green to assist him with the purchase of his retirement home in Florida in 2010. In exchange, Green gave his co-defendant Davis over $35 million of business at the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office in the sale of homes at sheriff’s sales.

“Sheriff Green sold the business of his office for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Today’s sentence holds him accountable for his near-decade-long betrayal of the public trust.”

“Public officials hold office to serve the public good, not to line their own pockets” said U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. “When public servants abuse their authority and flout the rule of law, they disgrace themselves and the offices they hold. That is what Green did here and he is now paying the price. Every public official should be on notice after today’s sentence: federal law enforcement is watching and we will hold you accountable to the law and to the public that you are supposed to serve.”

“This type of corruption erodes the faith of citizens in the city's ability to function and causes people to question the honesty, integrity and efficiency of how the city is run,” said City of Philadelphia Inspector General Amy L. Kurland. “This case was especially significant to the city and this sentence sends a strong message that we will not tolerate employees or officials using their positions to enhance their own wealth at the taxpayers’ expense.”

Green left office at the end of 2010, over one year before the expiration of his term, after the City of Philadelphia, Office of the Controller had issued an audit report in October 2010 expressing concern about potential irregularities with respect to the funds held by the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office relating to Sheriff’s sales. The Controller’s Office hired Deloitte Financial Advisory Services, which conducted a forensic investigation of the Sheriff’s Office. Deloitte issued a report in October 2011 that revealed the extent of the hidden business that Green had given to co-defendant Davis. Deloitte provided its findings to the government. Green pleaded guilty in April 2019.

The case was investigated by the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, and the City of Philadelphia Office of Inspector General. Trial Attorney Jennifer A. Clarke of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sarah L. Grieb and Christopher Diviny of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania prosecuted the case.
