Trump Says He Will Use Executive Privilege To Prevent John Bolton Testimony

 

President Donald Trump said in a new interview on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that he would use executive privilege to prevent former White House aide John Bolton from testifying in an impeachment trial.

 

“Why not call Bolton? Why not allow him to testify? This thing is bogus. Why not allow Bolton to testify?” Fox News’ Laura Ingraham asked in a recent interview set to air 10 PM Friday.

 

“No problem other than one thing,” Trump said. “You can’t be in the White House as president, future, I’m talking about future…any future presidents- and have a security advisor, anybody having to do with security, and legal and other things but especially…”

 

“Are you going to invoke executive privilege?” Ingraham said.

 

“Well I think you have to for the sake of the office,” the president responded.

 

Bolton‘s possible testimony in the impeachment trial of Trump has become the subject of much scrutiny since the probe was opened by Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi in this fall.

 

The former UN ambassador said in a statement this week that he was “prepared to testify” if he was subpoenaed in a Senate trail.

 

Bolton has made a number of cryptic comments since getting fired from the White House, such as saying in November that America’s “national security priorities is under attack from within.”

The Very Unappetizing Truth About McDonald’s Hamburgers

 

On January 2, KUTV ran a story about a Utah man who is the proud owner of a 20-year-old McDonald’s hamburger. They posted in a video in which David Whipple — said burger owner — shows off the Big Mac to the world. In the video, he takes the burger out of a tin for the first time since he bought it on July 7, 1999. In what should not be a surprising find, the burger looked almost the same as the day it was purchased, and it emitted a smell similar to that of cardboard.

 

If this is the first time you’re seeing a years-old McDonalds hamburger, you may be a little out of the loop. Disturbing reports over the years show that Big Mac’s and other hamburgers that hail from the golden arches do not decompose or rot for weeks, months and even years after they’ve been cooked.

 

Part of the embalmed-like feature of the meat patty could be because of its high-sodium content. Salt is a natural preservative that has been used throughout history. But you have to admit that when something does not decompose, or even show signs of decomposing after days, months or years, it seems suspicious. After all, the hallmark of live food is that it wilts and decomposes — something that, apparently, does not occur in these burgers.

 

Up until 2011, McDonald’s admitted to using pink slime in their meat — a sludge-like ingredient made of ground-up beef “trimmings,” also known as various beef scraps and cow connective tissues, mixed with ammonium hydroxide.

 

In March 2015, McDonald's announced that by 2017, they would only be buying chicken raised without antibiotics important to human medicine. They also claimed that they would begin using milk from cows that have not been treated with the artificial growth hormone rBST.

 

While this change is a step in the right direction, McDonald’s meat still comes from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Not only are cows and other livestock in these factory farms made to live in unsanitary and inhumane conditions, but they are also given antibiotics and growth hormones to make them grow faster and become more resistant to disease. These antibiotics, along with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are transferred to you every time you eat CAFO meat — and sometimes even through the animal manure used as crop fertilizer.

Firefighter Let Out of Jail Despite ‘Serious Sex Offenses’ Arrested for Starting 17 Fires in Australia

 

From 2013-2017, the number of people imprisoned in Australia for drug crimes increased faster than people imprisoned for any other type of crime. Individuals suspected of selling or using drugs in Australia make up 15% of all prisoners. Like the United States, people of color in Australia are far more likely to be refused bail, instead being detained on remand awaiting trial. If you are a ‘serious sex offender’ and part of the system, however, you’ll be given that bail no problem, and freed to commit more crime. Such is the case with a firefighter arrested this week for allegedly setting at least 17 fires causing massive damage.

 

Since September of last year, the world has watched as fires blazed across the beautiful Australian landscape, killing dozens, destroying hundreds of homes, and reducing millions of hectares of land to ash. Tragically, it is estimated that at least a billion animals have been killed as well.

 

“The fires have burned so hot and so fast that there has been significant mortality of animals in the trees, but there is such a big area now that is still on fire and still burning that we will probably never find the bodies,” Nature Conservation Council ecologist Mark Graham told parliament recently.

 

As officials frantically searched for those who may be setting these fires, their investigation led them back to one of their own.

 

Police were able to link the firefighter to all 17 of the blazes as he wore a GPS tracking ankle bracelet as part of his bail conditions. After the 27-year-old was arrested this time, however, he’s finally being denied bail based on the seriousness of his crimes.

 

According to reports, detectives investigating suspicious bushfires under Operation Paringa arrested the man after raiding his home on Tuesday.

 

The still unnamed firefighter had been granted bail despite multiple alleged sex offenses, which police referred to as “serious.”

 

The attorney representing the firefighter denies his client’s involvement in any of the fires and argued the prosecution’s case was “obviously circumstantial” – and that the firefighter had actually been battling the bushfires he has been accused of lighting, according to the report.

 

However, on Wednesday, the judge struck down the firefighter’s application for bail after receiving 33 pages of alleged facts compiled from data collected by his tracking device.

 

Now, he will not be granted bail again and is not due in court until February.

 

Australian authorities have taken legal action against 180 people for the fires across the country since November but the consensus is that most of the fires are caused by drought conditions. According to the New South Wales Police, not all of the legal actions taken are for arson either.

 

Since Friday 8 November 2019, legal action – which ranges from cautions through to criminal charges – has been taken against 183 people – including 40 juveniles – for 205 bushfire-related offences.

 

Of note:

 

24 people have been charged over alleged deliberately-lit bushfires

53 people have had legal actions for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban, and

47 people have had legal actions for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land.

 

In the case of the firefighter, however, his 17 alleged fires could’ve been prevented. If his sexual assault case was indeed as “serious” as they say, allowing him to roam freely and only tracking him after the fact, was not a very good idea. Sadly, however, it is par for the course when it comes to sex offenders.

Lawyer argues that his $220,000 student loan debt is so huge he shouldn't have to repay it — and a judge agrees

 

The case could make it easier for other student loan debtors to dismiss their debt

 

A lawyer argued in court that his $220,000 student loan debt was so massive that he shouldn't be expected to pay it back, and a bankruptcy court judge agreed.

 

Navy veteran Kevin J. Rosenberg argued that the debt constituted an undue financial hardship because at the time of the filing, his annual salary was $37,600, and he would not be able to make payments to lessen his debt.

 

Rosenberg borrowed $116,500 to obtain a bachelor's degree and also a legal degree.

 

But by 2018 when he filed for bankruptcy, the amount had ballooned to $221,400 including the interest charges.

 

Judge Cecilia G. Morris in New York bankruptcy court ruled in his favor and said he did not have to pay the massive debt.

 

She said that banks had been misinterpreting a rule for dismissing debts, and that she would rule against that interpretation.

 

"This Court will not participate in perpetuating these myths," Morris said in her ruling.

 

The company holding the loan argued that he had not met the test for dismissal because he did not make a living as an attorney and thereby did not make use of the education that he paid with those loans.

 

Student loan debt has become a key political issue, with many politicians on the left promising to dismiss the loans, while critics have bemoaned the massive price tag that such a policy would incur.

 

Others argue that such a policy would mostly benefit those who are already socio-economically privileged.

Dean of the Syrian captives in the Israeli occupation jails liberated

 

Quneitra, SANA_ Dean of the Syrian captives in the Israeli occupation jails Sedqi al-Maqat was released on Friday after 32 years of detention, and arrived at his hometown of Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan where he was welcomed by large crowds of locals.

 

Al-Maqat saluted President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Arab army.

 

“Just as I was released today without conditions, the occupied Syrian Golan will be liberated also,” he said.

 

Al-Maqat confirmed that he will continue the march of his struggle until the liberation of all occupied Syrian Golan.

 

Prior to his arrival at Majdal Shams, al-Maqat had stopped in the towns of Masaada and Ein Qunya in the occupied Syrian Golan.

 

The captive Amal Fawzi Abu Saleh arrived last night to his birthplace, Majdal Shams, after he was also released from the Israeli occupation prisons.

 

Earlier, reliable sources in the occupied Syrian Golan, in a statement to SANA reporter in Quneitra, had confirmed that the dean of Syrian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons Sedqi al-Maqat will be released this Friday after 32 years of detention.

 

According to those sources, al-Maqat will be released without any conditions and will return to his hometown in the occupied Syrian Golan.

 

It is worth mentioning that al-Maqat had previously rejected his release on the condition of deportation from the occupied Syrian Golan and his hometown Majdal Shams, emphasizing his belonging to his homeland, Syria, adherence to the Syrian Arab identity and to his right to live in his native home.

 

The occupation authorities released al-Maqat in August 2012 after 27 years in prison and arrested him again on February 25, 2015 after assaulting his family’s house in Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan. They accused him of documenting the Israeli occupation forces cooperation with Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists.

 

On May 16, 2017, Israeli authorities issued 14-year imprisonment sentence against al-Maqat after postponing his trial dozens of times.

 

Sedqi al-Maqat was born in Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan on April 17, 1967.
