Reporter...

The arrest of a onetime reporter, fired last year for fabricating quotes, was a bizarre twist in the threats against Jewish facilities.

Even after Thompson was taken into custody in St. Louis, Jewish groups and officials remained on edge about the threats that are still unsolved.

Thompson's Twitter page is full of rants about white people and President Trump.   He was charged with cyberstalking and is accused of communicating at least eight threats to Jewish Community Centers, which an FBI complaint said were “part of a sustained campaign to harass and intimidate” a woman with whom he had been romantically involved. Enjoy the process if you did that.

Wise up...*

After an eight-month probe started when police received an anonymous tip, search warrants were served in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Authorities sought evidence of suspected visa and tax fraud. A court affidavit claimed the website You Win USA Vacation Resort was used to specifically attract pregnant Chinese women.  The women paid $15,000 to $50,000 for housing, food and transportation to medical services as well as visas allowing them to stay in the US legally. The healthcare cost wasn't mentioned, and assumed paid by US Citizens.

"People who come from China to the United States for the sole purpose of having their children born as American citizens," said Claude Arnold of ICE and Homeland Security in Los Angeles. "These people are told to lie, how to lie, so that their motives for coming to the US wouldn't be questioned."

Authorities also said, according to The Associated Press, that the women were instructed to hide their pregnancies under loose clothing and told to lie about the reasons behind their traveling.

Linda Trust, a resident of one complex involved in the raid, said she'd seen groups of pregnant Chinese women and people bringing food to them.

Estimated that since 2013, 400 babies born at one hospital had been linked to the alleged scam.

The scammer cashed in $ 4 millions and the tax payer paid the healthcare cost of $40 Millions.

Just a thought.

Desperate...*

Addressing a luncheon of Republican governors and donors, Rove warned that Donald J. Trump’s nomination would be catastrophic, dooming the party. 

In dozens of interviews, elected officials, political strategists and donors described a frantic, last-ditch campaign to block Mr. Trump  and the agonizing reasons that many of them have become convinced it will fail. Behind the scenes, a desperate mission to save the party sputtered at every turn.

Despite all the forces arrayed against Mr. Trump, the party has been gripped by a nearly incapacitating leadership vacuum and a paralytic sense of indecision and despair, as he has won smashing victories in South Carolina and Nevada. Donors have dreaded the consequences of clashing with Mr. Trump directly. Elected officials have balked at attacking him out of concern that they might unintentionally fuel his populist revolt.   Republicans have lacked someone from outside the presidential race who could help set the terms of debate from afar.

The endorsement by Mr. Christie, a not unblemished but still highly regarded figure within the party’s elite, a former chairman of the Republican Governors Association, landed Friday with crippling force. It was by far the most important defection.

Opposing him fueled more anger and more success for Trump. So Let it Go James Bay . [written 3/15]

Session...

No One in this administration should be talking or saying hi to the Russians. Talk to any body else.

A Flaw...

Clear...?

Recently, the western German town of Bornheim has banned adult male asylum seekers from its indoor public pool after some German women complained of sexual harassment by groups of young men, and this has prompted some women to leave the premises, the town’s deputy mayor said.

Bornheim, as it turns out, is just a stone’s throw away from Cologne where a wave of sexual assaults allegedly perpetrated by men of “Arab origin” at a New Year’s Eve festival has mushroomed into a bloc-wide scandal.

Switzerland has adopted an Austrian cartoon flyer for its upcoming  Lucerne carnival. The pictogram lays out various instances of accepted behavior such as kissing and praying, while making it clear that flying into a mad rage and open-hand slapping women and small children is frowned upon in polite society.  Good luck with that.   Just a thought.
