Stop...

This must stop no matter what.

Muller's..

The Dems had hoped for a good outcome of the Muller's report. Yet that hope is dashed.  Now they are fighting for the aftermath, knowingly that they are getting nowhere.

The goal is really to avoid doing anything of value fo the bebefben of the American people.

"We are looking for the truth."  "We will the request the unredacun-Report." Etc.

List...

Mayor de Blasio is defending his move to expand the list of crimes that let the city turn suspects over to Immigration Customs Enforcement.

Seven additional offenses that include child sex trafficking and patronizing child prostitution were added.
De Blasio said the change remains in line with the original 2014 bill, which was meant to only impact those convicted of serious crimes.

"We do not believe for minor offenses that anyone should be torn away from their family, but if someone has committed one of these serious and violent crimes and has gone through the full legal process and is convicted, that’s would be grounds for cooperation with ICE."

Child sex trafficking and child prostitution were not the first on the list?

A day late and a dollar short. 

Just a thought.

Fraud...

​

Cuomo said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved overtime hours for workers but “we never authorized fraud and theft and criminality.”

He went on to question why MTA management ​did not step in and put an end to the practice of billing for excessive overtime costs.

​This is not a new issue for the MTA. They have been criticized for years on lack of an effective time and attendance system. Why didn’t they change it? Why didn’t they fix it? There’s no excuse in my opinion​,” Cuomo said, adding he agreed with MTA chairman Patrick Foye for the need to appoint an independent investigator.

​”Find out A- the extent they can, how widespread the fraud, or possible fraud, is, and B, explain to the MTA what management system has failed that has allowed this to go on and didn’t catch it​,” he said.

Cuomo has been in the office for eight years, neglected the MTA as much as it deteriorated to that level, and now pointing the figure at someone else.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI have released a joint security advisory warning of a new strain of malware being used in North Korean cyberattacks.

Dubbed Electricfish, the malware was uncovered while the departments were tracking the activities of Hidden Cobra, a threat group believed to be state-sponsored and backed by the North Korean government.

Hidden Cobra has been connected to a variety of attacks against financial institutions, critical industrial players, and targets chosen for valuable intellectual property worldwide

The description of Electricfish is based on one malicious 32-bit Windows executable. After reverse engineering the sample, the malware was found to contain a custom protocol which permits traffic to be funneled between source and destination IP addresses.

"The malware can be configured with a proxy server/port and proxy username and password," the advisory reads.

Collude...

Colorado is one of 44 states that filed a lawsuit against generic drug manufacturers alleging they violated state and federal laws by conspiring to fix prices and stop competitors, resulting in generic drug costs significantly going up.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Connecticut, alleges that 20 pharmaceutical companies — including Teva Pharmaceutical, Sandoz, Mylan and Pfizer — “embarked on one of the most egregious and damaging price-fixing conspiracies in the history of the United States.”

Teva and other companies raised prices between July 2013 and January 2015 on about 112 generic drugs some with price increases of more than 1,000 percent, according to the complaint. The lawsuit called it an overarching conspiracy that attempted to thwart competition in the generic drug industry and resulted in inflated drug prices.

There are more ways to solve this problem. Just a thought.

Yuma...

So far this fiscal year, there has already been over 40,000 illegal migrant arrests according to Yuma Border Patrol, which is almost double the total of all of the fiscal year 2018. In FY 2018, there were over 26,000 illegal migrant arrests with around 20,000 being families and unaccompanied children.

And in comparison, in 2017 there were 12,867 illegal migrant arrests, with around 10,000 of those being families and unaccompanied children.

Yuma Border Patrol agent Jose Gaibay said they need more manpower to deal with the “large influx”. Agent Gaibay said even though they do background checks, they don’t have criminal history in their country of origin so they rely on what the migrants are telling them.

They have concerns with some migrants abusing the US immigration system that they’ve found criminals bringing kids over, hoping to get released into the community.

Any voice of the politicians? Schumer with his Dolce Ice cream?

The cost of seeing and hearing former President Bill Clinton and his wife talk about their political experiences live on stage has dropped to as little as $20 on the secondary market “as their 13-city adventure continued to struggle to find an audience,” The New York Post reported.

At Seattle’s WaMu Theater reportedly went for $829.

That’s quite a drop from the $1,785 that the former first couple fetched when the tour was announced back in early November of last year. Event organizers were then forced to cut prices — and even offer discounts through Groupon to boost sales.
The official prices for Friday’s appearance ranged from $66.50 to $519 

The former first couple kicked off the speaking program in Las Vegas in mid-November of 2018.

Live Nation Entertainment described the event as “joint on-stage conversations with the two leaders sharing stories and inspiring anecdotes that shaped their historic careers.”

Is the people''s opinion shifting?  Just a thought.

Prices...

Pharmaceutical companies will have to reveal the price for many prescription drugs in TV commercials, under a new rule announced by the Trump administration. 

The requirement is part of President Trump's efforts to crack down on drug costs  one of his few initiatives to earn wide bipartisan support.

Under the rule, which is set to go into effect over the summer, drug makers will have to disclose prices in ads for any medication that costs more than $35 for a month's supply. It's similar to the current requirement for drug companies to spell out a drug's side effects in TV ads.

"Historic transparency for American patients is here," the president tweeted. "If drug companies are ashamed of those prices lower them!"
