This may be off topic here...please for give my newb-ness. This site has some very interesting data on where state and federal money is going. What I found very interesting is the map that shows all California state employees that make $100K plus a year.

As Twitchy has reported, there hasn’t been much in the headlines about a story broken by The Hill on Tuesday that essentially confirmed something Donald Trump suggested throughout his campaign; that is, Russian nuclear officials routed millions to the Clintons’ charitable foundation and ended up capturing 20 percent of America’s uranium supply during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.The Hill reported: Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes...

In two tweets on Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump returned to the subject of former FBI Director James Comey, once again showing frustration with his own Justice Department. "Wow, FBI confirms report that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete. Many people not interviewed, including Clinton herself. Comey stated under oath that he didn't do this-obviously a fix? Where is Justice Dept?" Trump asked. "As it has turned out, James Comey lied and leaked and totally protected Hillary Clinton. He was the best thing that ever happened to her!" Trump added in a third...

What has happened to Bill Clinton? Is he not doing any more rallys? I find it strange. Anyone know?

Live going on now.

No men's room for her. For now. How insane have we become when it’s major news that one - count him, one - liberal Supreme Court Justice is willing to kinda sorta almost acknowledge that a 17-year-old girl doesn’t stop being a girl just because she says she wants to? Pretty darn insane, and actually Steven Breyer didn’t even do that yesterday. He did join his conservative colleagues in a 5-3 ruling that declines to order the Gloucester County school board to let “Gavin” Grimm use the men’s room. But according to Reuters, Breyer “he did so as a courtesy...

I was driving from Sarasota, Florida, to Washington in the pre-dawn hours Sunday morning when my iPhone chirped a news alert. More than 50 people dead at a nightclub shooting in Orlando. The deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. And later, news that the gunman reportedly called 911 to declare his loyalty to Islamic State before committing the act, investigators said. The preceding Monday, less than a week earlier, I had returned to the United States for only my second visit in about two years. In the intervening time I had been on the front lines in Ukraine, in Iraq,...

Where Is Your Government? The Constitution is solely about how government functions within the enumerated legislative powers it grants Congress. The Constitution is not about what the people can and cannot do; the Constitution is about what the government can and cannot do. America’s founders documented their vision for a free people by limiting legislative powers to the Congress. The founders’ words are clear concise proper English grammar. Article 1. Section 1 says that All legislative Powers shall be vested in a Congress. The word “all” means all, not most, and not some; it means all. The founders’ wisdom limited...

This is just not right.

Let's play where is Vicky!

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff: Matt will embark on his 10th trip around the world starting on Nov. 7, and viewers will once again ponder one of television's greatest mysteries: Where in the World is Matt Lauer?

In the past year alone, First Lady Michelle Obama has spent 42 days on vacation, costing taxpayers upwards of $10 million. $10 million. In taxpayer funds. For vacations. Taking full advantage of Air Force Two (costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars), Michelle has criss-crossed the world to destinations from Spain to Hawaii and Vail, CO to Martha's Vineyard. Indulging in lavish hotels, top-shelf alcohol, and Secret Service-arranged sight-seeing tours, Michelle has not been shy about putting her any and every whim on America's tab. When was the last time you took a six-figure vacation? Probably never, if you're one...

Why is the SEIU focusing all its energies on intimidating banks? Do you think maybe they have a larger agenda than just representing their members at their place of employment? Given that the SEIU is so closely aligned with the Obama Administration, what do these tactics say about the President's own views?

As of 9:50 p.m. EDT, The Post & Email has just spoken with LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III, who was arrested today at his home on a charge of “failure to appear” at a hearing last Friday of which he claims he was not notified. Fitzpatrick is being held in the Monroe County detention facility.

Dan ‘what’s the frequency kenneth’ Rather was set up ... with a look - alike copy of document that rich armitage and joe ? scrubbed from the base . i hope this is not a set-up from the other side

Though Thursday's new economic figures indicated the nation's recession is technically over, there didn't seem to be anyone singing "Happy Days Are Here Again." Certainly not in the state's employment offices. "The crisis isn't over," said Annie Young as she filled out applications on-line at a Nebraska Workforce Development career center in Omaha. "We still have a long way to go." At the office of the state's laborers' union, the latest economic news was greeted by Tami Tietsort with a "Yeah, right." "I don't mean to be sarcastic, and I hope we're coming out of this," said Tietsort, a clerical...

Not the greatest image, but there aren't very many of this place. Nonetheless, it is both geologically and geographically significant. So: where is it, and why is it noteworthy? (After guesses, answer will likely be posted Friday evening 05/01 or Saturday 05/02). I've scattered a couple of nebulous clues in this text. Super great cudos if you can name this place. Good luck!

WILL DIRTY CHICAGO POLITICS BE THE UNDOING OF OBAMA? CATEGORY: Decision '08, Obama-Rezko Where is the wisdom of Mike Royko when you need it? Royko was by far Chicago’s most beloved political columnist. His scathingly brilliant, uproariously funny writings on the Chicago political machine not only shone a light in the dark corners of corruption, favoritism, and mobbed up businesses of Richard J. Daley’s City Hall, he had fun doing it. A small sample: Several theories have arisen as to what Mayor Daley really meant a few days ago when he said: “If they don’t like it, they can kiss...

Has anyone seen Joe Biden? He seems to have vanished after the convention?
