MAGA...

Michael Avenatti was arrested in New York City on charges of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to reveal claims that company employees had authorized payments to the families of top high school basketball players.

Avenatti also was charged in a second federal case in Los Angeles with embezzling a client's money and  "defrauding a bank in Mississippi," prosecutors said.

Avenatti gained widespread notoriety for representing porn star Stormy Daniel's  $130,000 hush money. He was in the News all the time.

Embraced by the Democrats, Avenatti announced that he was considering running for president as he was embraced by Democrats .

Daniels, in a statement, "Knowing what I know now about Michael, I'm saddened but not shocked regarding his arrest."

Darling...

The darling of CNN, Michael Avenatti had it all. He represented the Porn Star Stormy Daniels and since she had something with Trump [you call it the way you see it] the Media gave him all the time in the world. He is the guy that will expose the secrets that didn't exist. 

 For month he filled the stories of CNN empty slots with talk back and forth.

Yesterday he was arrested and CNN didn't discover a conspiracy behind it yet.

Ferry...

Ask what de Blasio is doing to address the city’s transportation being deteriorated by the minute, but he’s likely to focus on one initiative in particular:

the city-subsidized ferry service launched at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, which carried fewer than 10,000 trips per day in 2017.

The city’s bus system, meanwhile, carries about 2 million weekday trips but is hemorrhaging riders, and the subway system deterioration during his time.

De Blasio announced that he’s pouring more money into ferries, with another $300 million in capital spending on top of the $325 million his administration has already put into the system. The city also spends $30 million annually on ferry operations.

De Blasio’s press conference, at the just-opened Bay Ridge docks, was at least the eighth ferry-related public event he’s held since the beginning of 2017, compared to two such events for buses.

Riders pay $2.75, the same as a subway or a bus fare. The ticket is subsidized by the city at an estimated $6.60 per trip. The subsidy costs the city about $30 million a year. That could rise as the ferry service becomes more popular, according to city officials.

The mayor said "the money is in the wrong hands."  

Collision...

Its not collusion, its collision of fakeness.

Get 'Em...

President Donald Trump declared he would reverse new sanctions on North Korea that his administration rolled out just a day before.

“It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea,” Trump tweeted.

 “I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!”

In a follow-up statement explaining the reversal, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn’t think these sanctions will be necessary."

President Trump knows that sanctions cripple the economy of NK, a move that will not bring peace as he desires. 
Just a thought.

Non believer...

Police in Germany arrested ten people on suspicion of planning a terror attack. The arrests were made after some 200 police officers carried out raids in the states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.

The men had plotted to "kill as many 'non-believers' as possible" using a vehicle and guns, prosecutors said.

A 21-year-old man from Offenbach and two 31-year-old brothers from Wiesbaden are the main suspects.

"They had already made contact with different arms dealers, rented a large vehicle and collected financial assets to use for the purchase of guns and the execution of the planned murders," a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said.

The men have been detained on charges of terror-financing and criminal conspiracy.

Germany has been on high alert following several jihadist attacks in recent years.

The most deadly was in December 2016 when a man drove a lorry into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people.

Afternoon...

Justice Department officials notified Congress that they had received Mueller’s report. Barr is expected to summarize the findings for lawmakers as early as this weekend.

The special counsel has not recommended any further indictments.

A furious political reaction from the Democrats vying for the presidential nomination in 2020 demanding a public release of the findings.

Mueller’s report was delivered Friday afternoon to Rosenstein’s office at Justice Department headquarters.

The Comic Media now have three days to spin the wheels with their consultants and panels for something with no materials as usual.

Hands...

"I'll change my name to Amazon Cuomo if that's what it takes," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters at an event, referring to his determination to land Amazon's second headquarters. 

New York state will provide Amazon up to $1.7 billion in grants and tax breaks to lure the major online retailer and cloud-computing giant to the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, making it the largest incentive package ever provided to a private company by the state. New York City is set to provide $1.3 billion in tax breaks on top of the state's incentive package.

“I say, there is plenty of money in this world, plenty of money in this country. But it's in the wrong hands,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) declared.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat who is running for president in 2020, has proposed a plan to break up the largest US tech companies, including Amazon, Google, and Facebook, her campaign announced. 

So, from one side the Dems dyeing to give the incentive to the largest cooperation in the world and to the other end Warren is trying to run on breaking large organization instead of using anti trust laws.

Is the money really in the wrong hand or we have some misguided politicians looking after themselves? Just a thought.
