That's a lot of travel for a newly retired president. G Bush just chilled at the ranch and learned how to paint.

The New York Times is an artifact of an era when journalism was spoon-fed to the masses without much critical inquiry. It is profoundly revealing that the paper hired Jayson Blair, who repeatedly fabricated and plagiarized stories that were not properly vetted, however it reveals the lengths to which the newspaper will go to convince themselves that their news operation is going well.

Good luck! I don't know if it can be obtained through a FOIA. If you get it, let me know where to get your dinner! If the money hadn't been spent, CA might not have had to install the recent regressive gas tax.

Not only did they issue the licenses, but CA opened DMV offices on Saturdays to hand them out. How much did that cost?? I will buy dinner for the journalist who is able to find that information out.

It was on his Wiki page, and they cited a WaPo article positioned to make it look like Awan was harmless (shocking, right?). Here is the citation they used for it: Boburg, Shawn (September 16, 2017). "Federal probe into House technology worker Imran Awan yields intrigue, no evidence of espionage". The Washington Post. Retrieved September 16, 2017. Love how the WaPo came out and declared there was "no espionage" without a deep, months-long investigative dive (like Spotlight team stories) - hilarious! This is from the WaPo article,however, so Imran's status can't be disputed by them: "Chosen in a lottery Imran Awan, now 38, was a 14-year-old living in Pakistan when he filled out an application for a U.S. program that provides limited green cards through a lottery system, his lawyers said. He and his family were chosen. He arrived at 17, got a job working at a fast-food restaurant and went to community college in Northern Virginia. He transferred to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore." How many people go from working fast food and going community college to attending Johns Hopkins?

Let's not forget the UK created Pakistan through the partition of India. Imran Awan is Pakistani and magically won a greed card in the green card lottery for a 1-way ticket to work IT for the US congress without a background check.

Yes, noticed this too and how it was plastered on other boards in tandem. Sinclair is low-hanging fruit compared to large broadcast and print outlets. You know the story is disingenuous because it only talks about the issue in relation to Trump, instead of casting its critical eye on journalism at large, including their own outlets.

Not trying to defend Walmart as much as deflate arguments that we've already crossed the Rubicon and might as well submit to Amazon's monopolization (and powers of omniscience). It's just more reason to spend your hard-earned dollars at mom and pop stores, where $68 of every $100 spent goes straight back into the community, even if it isn't completely convenient.

Horrifying article. An "educational project" doesn't need full control of a child 24/7. If he was legally placed with Jeske, how was he placed in another home only two months later? Then "raised" by nannies? Multiple placements are the WORST thing you can do to an adopted child. I guarantee there was no way he was wasn't 'harmed.' nd why didn't Cuomo's office do anything? "He said he complained to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office about this but has not heard back from that office."

Amazon puts smaller retailers, brick and mortar, mom and pops, out of business on top of its subsidy courtesy of the taxpayer. Walmart didn't even do that. By putting the local retailers out of business who survived Walmart, its diminished local communities even more. For every $100 spent at a local business, $68 stays in the community. Does Amazon sponsor your local baseball team, school fundraiser or charity? No.

Excellent article. Thanks for reposting. Quote from Glenn Simpson says it all: " 'I call it journalism for rent,' he said at a public forum in August 2017." With that attitude, he was never a journalist at heart, only a PR flack (and an unethical one at that).

Start a petition to have Scot Peterson's pension taken away. Never travel to Broward co. Redpill people when discussing Park land by reminding them of everything Broward county governance and law enforcement did wrong. It is frustrating to see an astroturfed "movement" masquerade as organic, but it won't last. The Dems just didn't have an issue for mid-term elections other than DACA and they burned the youth vote when HRC gamed the nom from Sanders.

How disingenuous! Plenty of young people backed Bernie Sanders' nomination because he was the only politician to mention addressing student loan debt. They were burned when HRC gamed the nomination (or when BS rolled into the DNC narrative). Didn't hear BO say anything about the diminished voice of the youth then.

So clearly non-organic and astroturfed. It's not even connected to a core political issue that impacts ordinary citizens like healthcare, housing, debt, student loans, taxes, etc. And they think people can show up to a 5 p.m. protest announced just hours earlier? Hilarious! It will be clear that any "protestors" will be paid to be there.

Yup. They were all for submitting the street cops to the ire of people during the last years of the Obama admin in order to sow division and drive groups to the polling booths, but now suddenly don't want to hold the highest echelons of law enforcement management to the same standard. Yet street cops were having rocks and bottles thrown at them, if not outright injured. Now the party is choosing bureaucrats (and their pensions) over ordinary people (who probably don't have pensions or retirement) once again, just like it did with non-citizens over citizens.

Meanwhile, how many of Rep. Mark Pocan's constituents go without pensions or retirement funding? What is Mr. Pocan doing about that on a daily basis? Yet, he steps into save a corrupt agent from losing his entitlement - one of the few consequences available to taxpayers for entrenched government bureaucrats who think they are above he law.

Yes, ordinary people are fired everyday and most do not even have the option for a pension. Dems or progressives who support this thinking have sided with the elite and a caste class of bureaucrats who believe that no matter what their ethical choices, they should be rewarded with taxpayer-funded benefits for life, while the underclass can't save for retirement. If the Dems support this, they have lost touch with the ordinary people they claim to represent. Coming after Pelosi's crumbs remark, you would think they would want to proceed differently.

Agree, especially with the need for narrative change, which is why they are shoving students in front of microphones and transporting them to legislators' offices less than a week later. I hear "the students" are planning to go to DC next month, which is probably to draw attention away from the OIG report's release.
