Finally... Here's the SHAME LIST of NATO Freeloaders

Finally… Here’s the SHAME LIST of NATO Freeloaders

"These countries have collectively cheated US taxpayers of $134 billion!

So here it is. The complete list NATO countries not meeting their defense funding commitments. And it’s US taxpayers making up the shortfall.

[list]

"Who are the freeloaders? The 23 include nearly all of the richest Western European nations. Germany — Europe’s wealthiest NATO member with a $4 trillion GDP — is $38.2 billion short on its $80 billion spending bill by only investing 1.18 percent of its GDP on defense. Italy is $23.1 billion short; Spain is $18.8 billion short; Canada is $16.7 billion short; NATO host Belgium is $5.6 billion short; France is $5.5 billion short; and Luxembourg — which has Europe’s greatest average annual income per person at $102,000, contributed less than 0.5 percent of its GDP for defense. There may be an excuse for the newest members from Eastern Europe with developing economies for not being able to meet these funding levels, but there is no excuse for the wealthy nations."

Trump pitches GOP leaders on solar-paneled border wall

Great proposal. Watching heads spin if it passes.

Trump pitches GOP leaders on solar-paneled border wall

"At a White House meeting with Republican Congressional leadership on Tuesday, President Donald Trump pitched the idea of a southern border covered in solar panels that could generate electricity to help pay for the cost of the wall.

Trump’s idea of using solar panels on the U.S. – Mexico border wall comes amidst global criticism of Trump’s withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris climate accord.

Ideas for how solar panels on the border wall could pay for itself include leasing parts of the wall to solar utilities and selling some of the energy produced to Mexico and the U.S. grid. ...."

Special Counsel On Russia Should Be Shut Down Based On Comey's 'Deliberate Manipulation'

I totally agree with this. Does congress have the spine to shut it down?  Once upon a time I would have said yes but many are like blobs of hot jello.


Newt: Special Counsel On Russia Should Be Shut Down Based On Comey's 'Deliberate Manipulation'

"Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich had some harsh words for former FBI Director James Comey, and called for the dissolution of the special counsel on the Russia investigation on the grounds that it was based on Comey's 'manipulation' - calling it 'poisoned fruit.'

    The idea that the Federal Bureau of Investigation - [the] top person, man who's in charge of criminal investigation for the entire federal govt. That he would go outside the system deliberately manipulate the system, and that's what he's done.

    And I think what that brings into question is whether or not the congress should shut down the independent counsel because it is poisoned fruit. ..."

If You Get a Check Like This From Walmart, Here's What It Means

If You Get a Check Like This From Walmart, Here’s What It Means

".....The Illinois Sheriff’s Department has just issued a warning to the public about a new scheme where a victim receives a letter in the mail with a check. The letter reportedly tells the recipient that they have been accepted into the “Quality Control” at Walmart. It goes on to inform them of their new “responsibilities.”

The check included requires activation with a user id and a password which is supplied in the letter. Once the recipient tries to deposit it into their bank account, the thugs responsible have access to their bank account. ...."

Lynch Successfully Pressured Comey To Mislead Public Using Clinton Campaign's 'Inaccurate' Talking P

Interesting choice of words in the last paragraph, as I smooth out wrinkles in my tin foil hat. Jester

Lynch Successfully Pressured Comey To Mislead Public Using Clinton Campaign’s ‘Inaccurate’ Talking Points

Peter Hasson

"Loretta Lynch, the former attorney general under Barack Obama, pressured former FBI Director James Comey to downplay the Clinton email server investigation and only refer to it as a “matter,” Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.

Comey said that when he asked Lynch if she was going to authorize him to confirm the existence of the Clinton email investigation, her answer was, “Yes, but don’t call it that. Call it a matter.” When Comey asked why, he said, Lynch wouldn’t give him an explanation. “Just call it a matter,” she said.

Comey added later that he was concerned about that direction as it was false. He was further concerned because it aligned with the Clinton campaign’s spin on the investigation....."

Comey complied, in his words, because it “wasn’t a hill worth dying on.” In February 2016, the FBI confirmed in a letter that the agency was “working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”
