{ newsmax.com } ~ Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page will be questioned in private by congressional investigators Wednesday... a day before bureau agent Peter Strzok is to testify publicly about the beginnings of the government’s Russia collusion investigation, according to two congressional officials. Anti-Trump messages between Page and Strzok during the 2016 presidential campaign, when they were involved romantically, have fueled accusations from President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers that the Russia probe was tainted early on by bias among some members of the FBI assigned to it. On Monday morning, Trump tweeted one of his frequent jibes on the matter, denouncing the probe that’s now run by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a Republican, as the “Rigged Witch Hunt, originally headed by FBI lover boy Peter S for one year & now, 13 Angry dummycrats-Democrats.”...   https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/lisa-page-fbi-trump-texts/2018/07/09/id/870721/?ns_mail_uid=29878495&ns_mail_job=1801629_07092018&s=al&dkt_nbr=010102zz6pr9

{ wnd.com } ~ The convoluted case of the murder in Washington, D.C., of dummycrats-Democrat operative Seth Rich has taken another turn... with a lobbyist who has been investigating the case claiming that there has been found a “credible” witness. The announcement from Jack Burkman, a Washington-based lawyer and lobbyist, was revealed by the Gateway Pundit blog, which posted a disclaimer that the “shocking information” was given to the blog and it will report after Burkman’s event on Tuesday. Burkman told the Pundit, “We believe that we have reached the beginning of the end of the Seth Rich murder investigation. After two long hard years of work, we have a witness who is prepared to identify the two killers of Seth Rich.” The Pundit reported Burkman gave an exclusive interview on Sunday, where he said, “One is reportedly a current DEA agent, the other is reportedly a current ATF agent.”...   http://www.wnd.com/2018/07/bombshell-hunt-for-seth-richs-murderer-turns-up-witness/.

{ propublica.org } ~ The chemicals once seemed near magical, able to repel water, oil and stains... By the 1970s, DuPont and 3M had used them to develop Teflon and Scotchgard, and they slipped into an array of everyday products, from gum wrappers to sofas to frying pans to carpets. Known as perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, they were a boon to the military, too, which used them in foam that snuffed out explosive oil and fuel fires. It’s long been known that, in certain concentrations, the compounds could be dangerous if they got into water or if people breathed dust or ate food that contained them. Tests showed they accumulated in the blood of chemical factory workers and residents living nearby, and studies linked some of the chemicals to cancers and birth defects. Now two new analyses of drinking water data and the science used to analyze it make clear the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Defense have downplayed the public threat posed by these chemicals. Far more people have likely been exposed to dangerous levels of them than has previously been reported because contamination from them is more widespread than has ever been officially acknowledged...   https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-epa-and-the-pentagon-downplayed-toxic-pfas-chemicals?utm_source=pardot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailynewsletter

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Justice Department documents released on Friday confirm that the DOJ attorney known as Robert Mueller’s “pit bull” arranged a meeting with journalists... in April 2017 to discuss an investigation into Paul Manafort. The documents show that Andrew Weissmann arranged a meeting with DOJ and FBI officials and four Associated Press reporters on April 11, 2017, just over a month before Mueller was appointed special counsel. Manafort’s lawyers obtained the documents on June 29 and revealed them in a briefing filed in federal court in Virginia. The attorneys are pushing for a hearing into what they say are possible leaks of secret grand jury information, false information and potentially classified materials from the meeting. “The meeting raises serious concerns about whether a violation of grand jury secrecy occurred,” a lawyer for Manafort, Kevin Downing, wrote in a motion requesting a hearing. “Based on the FBI’s own notes of the meeting, it is beyond question that a hearing is warranted.”...

{ spectator.org } ~ Frankly,” said Ruth Bader Ginsburg in July 2009, “I had thought that at the time Roe was decided... there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.” The great added blessing of Roe: Not only could it give women the “right” to abortion, but it could open the way for the federal government, via Medicaid, to fund abortions of children in undesired populations. That assessment by Ginsburg was provided in a July 7, 2009 piece in the New York Times Magazine, titled, “The Place of Women on the Court.” And for 25 years, succeeding a pro-life justice named Byron White, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has held the Planned Parenthood seat on the nation’s high court, where she has fought for the hopes and dreams of Margaret Sanger’s organization. In fact, she has done so in ways more in keeping with Sanger than liberals would care to admit. Sanger wanted Planned Parenthood, whose clinics are disproportionately located near African-American neighborhoods, to achieve precisely what Ginsburg alluded to. There were certain populations that Sanger badly didn’t want too many of...

Trump Supporters Compared To Cultists

{ townhall.com } ~ Bob Corker, the outgoing Republican senator from Tennessee, recently compared supporters of President Trump to members of a cult. The Washington Post quoted Corker as saying: "It's becoming a cultish thing, isn't it? It's not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation as it relates to a president that happens to be of -- purportedly -- of the same party."

Purportedly? It would be nice to know what the Republican Party stands for these days, especially when it comes to spending and debt, but I will leave that for another day.

The Post story says "...the Republican Party appears united now not by fealty to ideas or policies but to a man, who defied the odds to win the presidency and who has magnetically drawn the party's power base to himself."

Doesn't that reasoning also describe the rise to power of Barack liar-nObama and liar-Bill Clinton -- the former this country's first African-American president, the latter the former governor of a Southern state with a great gift of gab, though personally flawed in ways similar to President Trump? Why did the media not label liar-Clinton followers cultists? Why weren't people who appeared to worship President liar-nObama regarded as blind followers of a cult-like leader? Answer: because they are dummycrats-Democrats, and the standards are different fordummycrats- Democrats.

Corker is right about how the GOP focused less on ideas and more on winning, but that could describe both parties at varying points in history.

What Corker and the Post fail to grasp is the level of anger directed at both parties. Too often, dummycrats-Democrats and Republicans appear to care more about their own political careers than the careers and lives of voters. Trump supporters transcend party loyalty, as does Trump. But -- and this is key -- they believe he cares about them and so they are willing to forgive his past personal indiscretions and current lies because they think his policies and the more positive direction of the country benefit them more than it does the political and media class.

Cultists reject any evidence that proves their faith is wrong. Trump supporters believe he is taking the country away from elitist snobs who care little about Middle America, except at election time. He is channeling their anger and frustration about broken government and dysfunctional Washington. They are glad he has an opportunity with his Supreme Court appointments to undo some of the judicial activism the Founders never intended for the court to practice and to again make the Constitution central to the nation's governing life.

They have grown tired of being stereotyped as yahoo hillbillies and uneducated Bible-thumpers who, according to Barack liar-nObama, "get bitter" and "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them..." Trump is their revenge and they are enjoying it. Look at the crowds the president continues to draw from his base as he travels. Their level of enthusiasm for him is at the level of a presidential campaign.

The support the president is receiving isn't just about him. It appears to stem from a sense of gratitude from people who have been ignored by many politicians and now believe they have a champion who listens to and speaks for them. Is he a perfect champion? Of course not. What politician, what human, is perfect? But Trump supporters believe his policies are far better than those advocated by liar-Hillary Clinton and the dummycrats-Democratic Party, which seems to be trending more socialist every day.

People who embrace socialism after its demonstrated failures all over the world --Venezuela and Cuba are two examples -- are more like cultists than Trump supporters. And labeling them as cultists will only serve to drive more of them to the polls in the next two elections.
