There was a tornado in Alabama last night, Lee county. As of this writing, 23 have been reported dead, including three children. The tornado was classified as a F4-on a tornado scale from 1-5.
Winds were estimated at times at 170MPH.
Prayers up for survivors of this tornado.

So the newest charmer of the day has been accused of campaign finance fraud.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-millionaire-chief-of-staff-violated-fec-rules-to-hide-885g-fec-complaint-alleges
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive firebrand's multimillionaire chief of staff, apparently violated campaign finance law by funneling nearly $1 million in contributions from political action committees Chakrabarti established to private companies that he also controlled, according to an explosive complaint filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and obtained by Fox News.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Not to worry however. Cortez denies it all.
There will be no special prosecutor appointed. No committees will be set up to investigate. Of course it will not be mentioned only softly by the media.
They are liberal Democrats.
Their crimes do not matter while the Conservatives will be dug up from the grave to find them guilty of SOMETHING.

Delaware State Senator Brian Townsend, a liberal that flames, says he is not eliminating the electoral college.
The proposed bill would award Delawares two or three electoral votes to whoever wins the POPULAR vote.
An alleged Republican in Delawares house, Jeff Spiegelman, is sponsor of the bill in that state house.
.https://www.delawarepublic.org/post/state-lawmakers-could-tie-delawares-electoral-votes-natl-popular-vote-2020
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A bill introduced this week would have the First State sign on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. States in the compact pledge to award their electoral votes to the candidate with the most votes nationally.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
So if John Doe wins the popular vote everywhere but Delaware, all of Delawares .5 electoral votes got to THAT candidate, no matter who won in Delaware.
This nonsense is happening across this country and Ive asked everyone I know and not one person has broken down in sobs for begging Delaware to change its electoral system. The legislators, including that awful Jeff Spiegelman, were beat up by somebody to do this.
11 states, including Rhode Island, Maryland and, of course, California, are attempting, through no entreaty of its states citizens (except maybe California, who all so ordered in Spanish) requested such a state vote.
They are determined to change our electoral system so that THEY, the liberals and the traitorous Jeff Spiegelmans, can win elections easier with their cheating system, already in place in many states.
--------------------
If ever anyone encapsulated what is going on in that House and all those bogus investigation, it is Press Sec. Sarah Sanders.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/mar/4/sarah-huckabee-sanders-democrats-trump-probe-disgr/
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called out House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, who would oversee any impeachment hearings, by name in a scathing statement, saying his decision to request documents from dozens of Mr. Trumps former and current associates and even family members is shameful.
Chairman Nadler and his fellow Democrats have embarked on this fishing expedition because they are terrified that their two-year false narrative of Russia collusion is crumbling, she said.
Mr. Nadler said his requests are intended to protect the rule of law and build a public record on Mr. Trump in case special counsel Robert Muellers investigative report is kept under wraps.
Ms. Sanders, meanwhile, contends Democrats are trying distract Americans from a radical agenda of making America a socialist country, killing babies after theyre born, and pushing a green new deal that would destroy jobs and bankrupt America.
The Democrats are more interested in pathetic political games and catering to a radical, leftist base than on producing results for our citizens, Ms. Sanders said. The Democrats are not after the truth, they are after the president.

Its a slow news day.
https://www.foxnews.com/health/billionaire-diamond-trader-dies-during-penis-enhancement-procedure-reports-say
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A billionaire diamond trader has died during a penis enlargement operation at a posh Parisian clinic, it was reported.
Ehud Arye Laniado died at the age of 65 in the clinic of an unnamed plastic surgeon on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in the French capital.
According to local media, complications during surgery proved fatal for the Belgian-Israeli dual national and he suffered a heart attack when a substance was injected into his penis.
The billionaire, whose exact fortune is not publicly known, got in trouble with the authorities in 2013.
He faced claim for 4 billion British pounds (approx. $5.2 billion) from the Belgian authorities for tax evasion on diamonds illegally imported from Congo and Angola, Belgians GVA reported.
Laniado reportedly prevented a tax evasion trial by agreeing to pay 137.7 pounds.

I must assume this is a true story.
I am at a loss for words.

Ilhan Omar mocks Jews while Democrats defend.
The big story this week is regarding Michigans Representative Ilhan Omar.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Omar supports the movement to boycott Israel and has been critical of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. She has also been vocal in her opposition to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington that nearly always aligns with the Israeli government.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
But of course the Democrats are nervous. They get a lot of money from the Jewish lobby here in America.
Though goodness knows why American Jews support the Democrats. To no ones surprise, many Democrats have come out in support of the lovely and sweet Omar, born in Somalia and ready to destroy America.
This woman has not been timid about her criticism of Israel and its almost a snort to have the Democrats defend her. To include my childhood friend Nancy Pelosi, who is about outta there as any kind of leader.
Omar has criticized Israel for wars with Hamas, always looking for the Lincolns .on and on. She makes lame apologies but she doesnt mean them.
Everyone knows the Muslims and Israelis are bitter enemies. And the Israelis always win, the only democracy in the Middle East.
But the Democrats defend her.
Heh.

Jerry Nadlers son works for firm suing Trump.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
His son (Michael Nadler) got a job with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP in 2018. Thats convenient because Jerry Nadler and the Democrats just won control of the House in 2018. Gibson Dunn & Crutcher hire Jerrys son and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher are the main Nemesis against Trump and the Trump Administration on numerous lawsuits. Now the Nadler family will gain access to thousands of Trump documents via Jerrys subpoenas!, our insider stated.

A Teacher is really this stupid?
One of the bigger cultural stories of the day involves a teacher who sent a little boy home with the demand he get those ashy smudges wiped off his forehead.
I got my doubts about this urban tale
. The kid went home, all upset because he made his teacher mad but he doesnt know what he did.
At some point all persons in charge were contacted and the teacher sent a profound apology with a box of candy.
But seriously, this person teaching our children never heard of Ash Wednesday? For it WAS Ash Wednesday. By coincidence.
This person teaching our children didnt know about Ash Wednesday and further, she didnt bother to ask someone?

Democrats Study Gun violence with appropriations of $50 million.
You can believe that if they can, the Democrats will find a way to have a health worker take away ones gun based on their health.
For if you have heart palpitations, then you shouldnt have a gun. Your hearts likely to go crazy one day and you pull a gun and start shooting people. Should one have cancer then hey, they have no reason to remain law-abiding. Cancer-ridden folks are likely to pick up their gun and start shooting up the world.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Democrats in the U.S. House are likely to approve spending $50 million in taxpayer funds for public health research on gun violence. While that may sound like a good idea at first glance, it really wouldnt do anything to reduce gun violence in our country.
It should go without saying that everyone opposes gun violence. But its important to take effective measures to deal with this problem and not simply take actions that sound appealing but wont really save lives.
The idea behind the $50 million in research funding is to have medical professionals apply tools they developed to study cancer, heart disease and other diseases and use them to study crime, accidental death and suicide. But to state the obvious, gun violence and diseases are two very different things. The National Rifle Association regularly demonized in the media and by many Democrats has been blamed for preventing academics from doing research on firearms. So supporters of the bill that would spend $50 million to research gun violence as a public health issue say their bill is needed to stop the NRA from blocking vital research that will save lives.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
They will not be stopped. They will take away our guns if we are ugly, if we are stupid, if we have vertigo. Give it time and none of us will have guns.
Then they can take over the country.

Manafort sentenced for crime of knowing Trump
I dont know what this guy did, something about lobbying for the Ukraine without notifying the gubmint.
Or something.
Allegedly he is going to jail for almost four years.
Does this type of crime ordinarily involve jail time? I mean I understand that broken laws need punishment but arent our jails already too crowded. And now we got all the Muslims here and room has to be made for them.
Wouldnt this crime ordinarily involve a huge fine, maybe time in home confinement?
But Manafort spent 90 days or so on the Trump campaign. For that he should suffer solitary confinement, four years in jail and probably huge fines as well.
Where has justice gone in this country?
More than anything
WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?????
Lee county is the next over from me and the tornado devastation was about 30 miles as the crow flies to the East. Could’ve passed over me...
I took a nap during the thunder storm—or cold front pushed threw. Slept through the whole thing. Didn’t even know about it until a relative out-of-state called me to ask if I was okay...
Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar...
Great post fish AOC claims she didn’t squirrel away almost a million for her guy pal and all the sudden it’s all over media won’t cover it anymore who knew?
Big storm here-power and all systems down for the most part. Will check later in day and look forward to you posting sites for the programs today.
I think your missing the counts Manafort pled guilty to.
