From one of the commenters: "As of 2012, The UN boasted 193 members, and the U.S. provided economic assistance to 184 of them or 96% of the countries in the world.

Now that we have seen the corruption of a US vice president in Ukraine, the question has to be asked as to how much of the foreign aid to the other 183 countries finds its way back to the DC swamp year after year? Are we seeing just the tip of an iceberg?"

"How else would the vast majority of Congress critters, their families & friends, become multi-millionaires while in office if not for corruption such as this? Why else would any sane person who is not already a billionaire, spend millions to campaign for a Congressional job that pays at most 200-300 grand a year?"

This is for all you gamer's watching the Washinton version of Game Of Thrones. Thank You, Sundance.

Several progressive groups, including Allied Progress and Demand Justice, two liberal dark money groups, have set a target on Justice Brett Kavanaugh as they aim to have him recuse himself from the case involving the constitutionality of the Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB).

This is a rather odd story. You may remember that the CFPB was created during the Obama Administration. It has a curious legal structure in that it is independent of the Government as a not-for-profit. So it is not accountable nor regulated by either the Executive branch nor the Congressional branch. Several States have also created structures like this, so the unconstitutionality of the CFPB might very well affect the existence of these others.

"Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology, Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes outlined. The complexity also helps the media avoid discussing, and as a result, most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the issues. So we’ll try to break down the language."

The article's comments are also worth reading.

Good News is always welcome. Thank You, Sundance.
