ARE AMERICANS ORCHESTRATING THEIR OWN EXTINCTION?

Is the most advanced society in history killing itself off? It sure looks like it if the numbers are correct. 

U.S. life expectancy declines again, a dismal trend not seen since World War I

Life expectancy in the United States declined again in 2017, the government said Thursday in a bleak series of reports that showed a nation still in the grip of escalating drug and suicide crises.

The data continued the longest sustained decline in expected life span at birth in a century, an appalling performance not seen in the United States since 1915 through 1918. That four-year period included World War I and a flu pandemic that killed 675,000 people in the United States and perhaps 50 million worldwide.

Public health and demographic experts reacted with alarm to the release of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s annual statistics, which are considered a reliable barometer of a society’s health. In most developed nations, life expectancy has marched steadily upward for decades.

“I think this is a very dismal picture of health in the United States,” said Joshua M. Sharfstein, vice dean for public health practice and community engagement at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Life expectancy is improving in many places in the world. It shouldn’t be declining in the United States.”

WAS POTUS RIGHT ABOUT POOR CALIF. FOREST FIRE MANAGEMENT

Like it or not the disaster in Paradise was partly a result of "poor" management.



Rather than own up to it and promise to correct the problems the response from state officials was a cry of "foul."



That in itself is poor management.

IT APPEARS THAT COHEN IS STILL LYING

When it comes to lying; even under oath, Cohen has proven more than once that he has no problem with that. In fact he has be convicted of doing just that and is waiting for the sentence to be handed down. The Mueller folks have no problem with coercing/extorting people they have targeted in their desperate efforts to get someone; anyone, to turn on POTUS and it looks like they are at it again.

IS MUELLER TAILORING CRIMES TO FIT HIS AGENDA?

Dershowitz: Mueller Making Decisions on 'False Statements'

Mueller is desperate to find a crime; any crime, that he can implicate POTUS in. 

Now that Manafort has given him the middle finger he is left with Cohen who is is obviously legally extorting to force him to say something; anything, that would implicate POTUS in wrong doing(s). 

The problem is, he is selecting people that have lost all credibility and have a history of lying for self preservation. 
Rudy Giuliani Tries to Distance Trump From Trump Tower Moscow: ‘This Was Cohen’s Deal’

Sater told The Daily Beast that efforts to develop a Trump Tower Moscow project died because Trump secured the Republican presidential nomination in July 2016.

“Right after the Republican convention, it became obvious—obvious to me,” he said. “It was obvious that a candidate couldn’t be doing a business deal simultaneously to run for president.”

Sater, who previously had an office in Trump Tower and helped arrange financing for Trump Tower SoHo, pleaded guilty 20 years ago to fraud linked to Russian criminals. He subsequently helped the FBI with major criminal investigations, and future Attorney General Loretta Lynch praised his cooperation before Congress in 2015.

DOES POTUS HAVE A TRUMP CARD TO PLAY?

One of the reasons the Establishment has been unable to take down POTUS is that he knows how to beat them at their own game.



Donald Trump threatens to declassify 'devastating' docs about Dems



“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.

The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

“I think that would help my campaign. If they want to play tough, I will do it. They will see how devastating those pages are.”

ARE MIGRANTS TRYING TO ENTER US ILLEGALLY GUILTY OF CHILD ABUSE?

Should the parents of children being subjected to danger be charged with child endangerment/abuse? Would any responsible parent drag their children into the line of fire (tear gas and rubber bullets) in order to get themselves across the border; illegally at that.



Migrants in Tijuana Regret the Caravan: ‘I’m Done With the United States’



“I thought it would be easy,” said González, who traveled north with his wife and two children, ages 4 and 3. He said his family was planning to sign up with Mexican officials for voluntary repatriation.

“We’re here alone, hungry, unprotected. My daughter is sick with diarrhea,” he said from a street by Tijuana’s El Chaparral border crossing, where he hoped to make a little money washing cars. “I don’t want to lose my kids, lose my life.”

Scenes of migrants fleeing tear gas shot their way by U.S. Border Patrol brought condemnation and accusations of excess. The Sunday protest was peaceful, several participants told The Daily Beast. The protesters, including women and children, first encountered Mexican police, but detoured around them and headed toward the border. There, according to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, they breached the fence.

The migrants say they wanted nothing more than to ask for answers as to why they were unable to cross the border or make asylum claims.

Stormy Daniels: Michael Avenatti Sued Trump For Defamation Against My Wishes


Michael Avenatti sued Donald Trump for defaming Stormy Daniels against her wishes, Daniels told The Daily Beast in a statement on Wednesday.

Avenatti also started a new fundraising site to raise money for her legal defense fund without telling her, Daniels said. She said she is not sure whether or not she will keep Avenatti on as her lawyer.

Here is her full statement, provided to The Daily Beast:

“For months I’ve asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense. He has repeatedly ignored those requests. Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left. Instead of answering me, without my permission or even my knowledge Michael launched another crowdfunding campaign to raise money on my behalf. I learned about it on Twitter.
