Sen. Kamala Harris introduces $250 billion Water Justice Act targeting America's tap water crisis

On Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris introduced new Senate legislation dubbed the Water Justice Act. It is a $250 billion plan to repair, strengthen, and detoxify our nation's tap water infrastructure. A companion bill will be introduced in the House by Michigan Democratic Reps. Dan Kildee and Brenda Lawrence.

The notion that Americans may no longer be able to fully rely on municipal water supplies—as the ongoing crisis in Flint, Michigan, has demonstrated—is an especially appalling demonstration of the dangers of shortchanging infrastructure programs in the name of austerity. The plan seeks to re-invest in water infrastructure, focusing especially on:

• $50 billion in emergency funds for at-risk communities and schools to test for, remediate, or replace contaminated water.

• $10 billion toward offsetting water bills in low-income communities.

• $20 billion toward boosting the sustainability of the U.S. water supply through conservation and recycling programs.

The majority, $170 billion, would be earmarked for Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act programs. Both have been continued targets of conservative and corporate sabotage.

In the announcing press release, Harris' team noted that "at least 40 states are anticipating water shortages" in the next five years; that over a third of American schools tested were identified as having lead-contaminated water; and that household water rates have risen 41% since 2010. It calls the current state of affairs an "ongoing drinking water crisis"; there seems little room to dispute that characterization.

AOC: U.S. Must Have ‘Lifelong Commitment’ to Migrant Children—Healthcare Services for Life

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said over the weekend that the United States government must have a “lifelong commitment” to illegal immigrant migrants separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border and provide “mental healthcare services” to them “for the rest of their lives.”

Speaking at a town hall event in Queens, New York, Ocasio-Cortez, who has referred to migrant detention centers as “concentration camps,” reportedly argued that the U.S. government must make a “lifelong commitment” to migrant children because “even if you separate a kid from their parents for two days, you have already created life-long lasting trauma.”

“I believe we have responsibility to provide mental healthcare services to those children for the rest of their lives,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to a Guardian report. “And there are children who have been separated that we have reunified, and it took about a year to reunify some of these kids with their parents. Lifelong trauma for which we, the United States, are responsible… And it chills me to my core to think about 20 years from now, when these kids grow up, the story that they will have about America.”

The freshman Democrat and “Squad” member also reportedly called for a 9/11-style commission to investigate the family separations, pointing out that the 9/11 commission was “charged with the investigating and making sure they dug out every nook and cranny of what happened and how it happened in our system.”

“And I think that that kind of study is what’s going to be required in order to reunite as many children with their parents as possible. That’s the work that we have to do,” she reportedly added.

Yes!! 2020 is looking promising
 
Further proof that liberals will do anything to further their cause.

Erica Thomas, Dem from Georgia, claims a white man verbally attacked her and told her to go back where she came from. Well the guy she claims is racist denies it on the basis that he is life long Democrat, anti- Trump and Cuban. Maybe Thomas should consult with Jussie Smollett...

Trump is the President and he just told 4 American congresspeople to “go back where they came from.” Dems don’t need to do anything after that, genius.

A pair of seasoned, Los Angeles-based Black Lives Matter leaders recently traveled to Indiana to help local progressives organize residents against South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg as he contends for the Democratic presidential nomination.

NASA Says It Has Detected A Black Hole Disk Tha




Dr. Melina Abdullah, who leads Black Lives Matter’s L.A. chapter (BLM-LA), headlined a community meeting last Wednesday attended by the family of Eric Logan, a 54-year-old black man who was shot and killed by a white South Bend police officer on June 16. She was accompanied by Greg Akili, a former union organizer who was mentored by Cesar Chavez in the early 1970s. They “were invited to South Bend to organize” in the wake of the officer-involved shooting death, accordingto BLM-LA.

“What we saw with the murder of Eric Logan at the hands of police really is an opportunity to revisit and re-engage around the questions of police violence in black communities,” Abdullah told a crowd of about 75 people gathered at a restaurant in downtown South Bend.

Attendees wanted to learn from Abdullah’s experiences, explore ways to collaborate with Black Lives Matter, and advance local organizing efforts targeting Buttigieg and the South Bend Police Department.

“This was about getting everybody in a room and empowering each other and moving forward,” said Jorden Giger, founder of a newly-formed local activist group called BlackTavists, in an interview with the South Bend Tribune.

Giger organized the get-together following a Young Turks report that said Sergeant Ryan O’Neill, the police officer who killed Logan, “had a history of allegations of racist language.”

O’Neill did not have his body camera turned on when he fired his handgun last month. Authorities said Logan approached O’Neill while holding a knife and refused orders to drop it. A special prosecutor is investigating the incident.

At a Black Lives Matter rally on July 13, BlackTavists issued a list of demands for Buttigieg which included paying reparations to Logan’s family, fire or demote the police chief, and terminate Sgt. O’Neill, who went on to step down from the police force last week.

In press release posted Tuesday, the government watchdog announced that it has submitted "a hand-delivered ethics complaint to Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Office of Congressional Ethics David Skaggs calling for a full investigation into potential crimes tied to allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have married her biological brother."

Omar, who is one of the four members of the so-called "Squad" of far-left freshman Democratic congresswomen embroiled in a public feud with President Trump, has been the subject of a series of reports claiming immigration and marriage fraud.

In a statement included in the release, Judical Watch President Tom Fitton says the evidence that Omar may have violated the law is "overwhelming" and that the House is obligated to "urgently investigate and resolve the serious allegations of wrongdoing" by the freshman congresswoman.

In the complaint (full text below), Fitton states that "substantial, compelling and, to date, unrefuted evidence has been uncovered that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have committed the following crimes in violation of both federal law and Minnesota state law: perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud."


"The evidence developed against Rep. Omar was the result of a three-year-long investigation in both the United States and the United Kingdom by [David] Steinberg and his investigative reporter colleagues Preya Samsundar and Scott Johnson," the complaint reads. "It is supported by information gathered from public records, social media postings, genealogy databases, computer forensic analysis, unaltered digital photographs, discussions between the investigative reporters and the subjects of the investigation themselves, and information supplied by confidential sources within the Somali-American community."

Among the claims presented in Steinberg's investigative report is that Omar married her alleged biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, "in order to assist his emigration to the United Stated from the United Kingdom," Fitton states. That alleged immigration fraud scheme may have helped Elmi secure federally backed student loans so he could attend North Dakota State University along with Omar, he writes.


The complaint also details that the State of Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board "has already determined that Rep. Omar violated state campaign finance laws for improper use of campaign funds" and that she submitted "joint" tax returns in 2014 and 2015 "with a man who was not her husband, named Ahmed Hirsi, while she was actually married to Ahmed Elmi."

Below is the complete text of the ethics complaint:

Ethics Complaint Against Rep. Ilhan Omar Concerning Possible Violations of Federal and State Law
 
Dear Chairman Skaggs,

Judicial Watch is a non-profit, non-partisan educational foundation, promoting transparency, accountability and integrity in government and fidelity to the rule of law. We regularly monitor congressional ethics issues as part of our anti-corruption mission.

This letter serves as an official complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).

Substantial, compelling and, to date, unrefuted evidence has been uncovered that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have committed the following crimes in violation of both federal law and Minnesota state law: perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud.

Such violations would also breach the Code of Ethics for Government Service, to which all federal officeholders are subject, “Any person in Government service should uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the United States and all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion.”) Rep. Omar actions in this suspected immigration fraud, marriage fraud, perjurious statements on her Minnesota divorce filings, and falsifications on her tax returns, merit your immediate investigation.

In the words of investigative reporter David Steinberg: “The facts describe perhaps the most extensive spree of illegal misconduct committed by a House member in American history.”

The evidence developed against Rep. Omar was the result of a three-year-long investigation in both the United States and the United Kingdom by Mr. Steinberg and his investigative reporter colleagues Preya Samsundar and Scott Johnson. It is supported by information gathered from public records, social media postings, genealogy databases, computer forensic analysis, unaltered digital photographs, discussions between the investigative reporters and the subjects of the investigation themselves, and information supplied by confidential sources within the Somali-American community.

Documented-based reporting by Steinberg, et al. has developed the following information: Rep. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, a citizen of the United States, married her biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a citizen of the United Kingdom, in 2009, presumably as part of an immigration fraud scheme. The couple legally divorced in 2017. In the course of that divorce, Ms. Omar submitted an “Application for an Order for Service by Alternate Means” to the State of Minnesota on August 2, 2017 and claimed, among other things, that she had had no contact with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi after June 2011. She also claimed that she did know where to find him. The evidence developed by Mr. Steinberg and his colleagues demonstrates with a high degree of certainty that Ms. Omar not only had contact with Mr. Elmi, but actually met up with him in London in 2015, which is supported by photographic evidence. Ms. Omar signed the “Application for an Order for Service by Alternate Means” under penalty of perjury. The very document that Ilham Omar signed on August 2, 2017 bears the following notation directly above her signature: “I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct. Minn. Stat. § 358.116.”

Of particular importance are archived photographs taken during a widely reported trip by Ilhan Omar to London in 2015, posted to her own Instagram account under her nickname “hameey”, in which she poses with her husband/presumed brother, Ahmed Elmi. These photographs from 2015 are documentary evidence that in fact she met up with Mr. Elmi after June 2011 and before the date she signed the divorce document in August 2017, thereby calling into question the veracity of her claim that she had not seen Mr. Elmi since June 2011.

Rep. Omar’s potential crimes far exceed perjurious statements made in a Minnesota court filing.

Rep. Omar’s conduct may include immigration fraud. It appears that Rep. Omar married her brother in order to assist his emigration to the United Stated from the United Kingdom. The same immigration fraud scheme may have aided Mr. Elmi in obtaining federally-backed student loans for his attendance at North Dakota State University. Mr. Elmi and Rep. Omar simultaneously attended North Dakota State University and may have derived illicit benefits predicated on the immigration fraud scheme.

The State of Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board has already determined that Rep. Omar violated state campaign finance laws for improper use of campaign funds. She was forced to reimburse her campaign thousands of dollars. More significantly, the Board discovered that the federal tax returns submitted by Rep. Omar for 2014 and 2015 were filed as “joint” tax returns with a man who was not her husband, named Ahmed Hirsi, while she was actually married to Ahmed Elmi.

Under federal law, specifically, 26 U.S. Code & 7206.1, “Any person who willfully makes and subscribes any return, statement, or other document, which contains or is verified by a written declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury, and which he does not believe to be true and correct as to every material matter … shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100,000 ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.”

Rep. Omar’s federal tax returns must be examined to determine whether any additional falsifications were made.

Mr. Steinberg, et al. have engaged in meticulous research and reporting over a period of years. They have demonstrated with a high degree of probability that Rep. Ilhan Omar has violated House Ethics Rules, federal and state laws.

We call upon the Office of Congressional Ethics to launch an investigation into Rep. Omar’s conduct immediately.

Sincerely,

Tom Fitton, President, Judicial Watch

Trump Surges In Polls After Facing Off With Ocasio-Cortez’s #Squad
July 23rd, 2019

President Donald Trump polled better than ever after his fight with AOC. (Daily Caller)


President Donald Trump had the highest poll numbers of his presidency last week after his protracted war of words with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the “squad,” which also includes Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar.

Today on Bullet Points, host Anders Hagstrom goes over why Trumps’ tweets helped him politically, even if they were racially charged.

Gold would be an interesting survivalist currency. You can't eat it, wear it (except in a high-fashion way, which is kind of the opposite of "survivalist"), or burn it for heat or energy. In a real survivalist situation, the really valuable items will be multi-tools, fishing gear, and sunscreen.
 


Let’s Add FGM To The List Of Things Ilhan Omar Refuses To Condemn Like Al Qaeda and Hamas

Posted at 9:00 pm on July 23, 2019 by Elizabeth Vaughn

Does anyone recall Rep. Ilhan Omar’s exchange with Elliott Abrams, the U.S. Special Envoy to Venezuela, during a February hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee? It was difficult to forget. Just one month into her term, and Omar was on the power trip of her life.

During the questioning, Abrams tried to explain his answers and Omar repeatedly cut him off, with a sharp, “Yes or no.”





“Yes or no. Do you think that massacre was a fabulous achievement that happened under our watch?,” she asked Abrams.

“That is a ridiculous question, and — no!,” Abrams answered.

“I will take that as a yes,” Omar said.

(The clip can be watched in the video below. The relevant portion begins at 2:10.)

It was with this same sense of moral superiority that she answered Ani Zonneveld, president of Muslims for Progressive Values when she had the temerity to ask Omar, “Will you be able to make a statement against FGM? Because that’s an issue in Detroit, and it would be really powerful if the two Muslim Congresswomen, yourself and Rashida, would make a statement on this issue.”
