Candidate...

Everyone with a plan to tax the American people and then waste it on something is jumping in.

Politicians  who failed to run a large projects that serve the little people but neglected it are jumping in with a big promise to help the little one.

Failures to run the  NYC Subway, NYCHA, or the quick deals like the Amazon which would have displaced many low and moderate income and cause great congestion. In addition, permits for sky scrapers increased and the roads decreased and more congestion
 created.
All are welcome to run in the next Presidential hopes.

Warned...

A former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence specialist has been charged with revealing classified information to the Tehran government, including the code name and secret mission of a Pentagon program.

The Justice Department also accused Monica Elfriede Witt, 39, of betraying former colleagues in the U.S. intelligence community by feeding details about their personal and professional lives to Iran. Four hackers linked to the Iranian government, used that information to target the intelligence workers online.

Witt had been on the FBI's radar before she defected after she attended an Iranian conference and appeared in anti-American videos. She was warned about her activities, but told agents that she would not provide sensitive information about her work if she returned to Iran.

Witt remains at large in Iran, as do the four hackers.

Moderate...

Their numbers are waning,  35% of Democrats still moderates while 13%  are conservative, according to a recent Gallup survey.

Seven of the eight major declared candidates support Medicare for All, but are they really prepared to eliminate all private health insurance.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says there is no longer room for him in his former party,  considering an independent presidential run.

When Pew asked Democratic-leaning voters which direction they'd like to see their party move, 54% said "more moderate" compared to 40 % who said "more liberal."  

Of course, electability is a fuzzy concept after the surprise result of the 2016 election, and progressives and people of color have been challenging the conventional wisdom that appealing to the center is party's best strategy.

It's also unclear if moderate Democrats could coalesce around one candidate in the primary since they include a wide range of groups with cross-cutting values.

Simple...

Shrew...

Trash...

Run...

These two couldn't agree on any thing. As it was reported, "No" was the answer by the mayor staff for the Governor at all time. When it came to run the subway system in NYC both didn't care a bit.

 The past eight years they ignored the system and its need because there is more important issues to tackle. So the money was syphoned to other areas that the Mayor and the Governor would look impressive. Five million riders daily in NYC Subway are suffering with all aspects of system deterioration.

Then comes the Amazon deal where the two, all of a sudden, became side by side. Credit of 3 Billions is given to the largest corporation ever, the opinion of those who are in the area is not important. It is a done deal for the Real Estate Developer of the area that is less than half a mile of Manhattan.

So the Mayor wants to run for a larger system than the Subway, NYSH, Schools, and Amazon.

Unicorns...

Anti...

Democratic House lawmakers and former government officials are characterizing recent comments from one of their rising stars, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, as antisemitic.

The exceptional rebuke comes after Omar, a freshman member of Congress, suggested on Twitter that her colleagues have been paid off to support Israel. She later "unequivocally apologize[d]," saying, "anti-Semitism is real.


Ilhan Omar apologized under pressure from the House Democratic leadership, who issued a unified statement condemning her comments.  

Scammer...

This scammer picked the WRONG senior citizen to go after.

94-year-old William Webster of Washington D.C. and his wife, Lynda, got a call about four years ago from a man who threatened to set their house on fire or shoot them if they didn't pay him thousands of dollars.

What the guy didn't realize is . . . William is a LEGEND in law enforcement. He's the only person who's ever been the director of the FBI and the director of the CIA.

So when he got the first scam call, he immediately called the FBI. And when the guy kept calling, William and Lynda kept alerting the FBI . . . and Lynda even had an agent listen in on one of the calls.

The FBI traced the calls to a 29-year-old man in Jamaica named Keniel Thomas. And when he flew to New York in 2017 to visit a friend, he was instantly arrested.

He's been in jail ever since, and he was just sentenced to six years in prison for trying to scam the Websters and successfully scamming several other elderly people. He'll be deported to Jamaica when his sentence is over.
