{bizpacreview.com} ~ Now that dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s fruitless “Russia collusion” investigation is wrapping up — with no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion... a bombshell new probe suggests there was election collusion between scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and Ukraine. Manafort Tax Files Were Intentionally Leaked. Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Yurii Lutsenko, told The Hill‘s John Solomon that his office launched a criminal investigation into a scumbag/liar-Clinton-Ukraine collusion plot to rig the 2016 election in scumbag/liar-Hillary’s favor. “Lutsenko says he has an audio tape recording of a top Ukrainian official admitting that his agency intentionally leaked financial records about former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign in order to sway the election in scumbag/liar-Hillary’s favor. Lutsenko accused the scumbag/liar-nObama-era U.S. embassy in 2016 of interfering in his ability to prosecute corruption cases, saying the U.S. ambassador gave him a list of defendants that he would not be allowed to pursue and then refused to cooperate in an early investigation into the alleged misappropriation of U.S. aid in Ukraine.”... 

{thefederalist.com} ~ Key Democratic operatives and private investigators who tried to derail Donald Trump’s campaign by claiming he was a tool of the Kremlin... have rebooted their operation since his election with a multimillion-dollar stealth campaign to persuade major media outlets and lawmakers that the president should be impeached. The effort has successfully placed a series of questionable stories alleging secret back channels and meetings between Trump associates and Russian spies, while influencing related investigations and reports from Congress. The operation’s nerve center is a Washington-based nonprofit called The Democracy Integrity Project, or TDIP. Among other activities, it pumps out daily “research” briefings to prominent Washington journalists, as well as congressional staffers, to keep the Russia “collusion” narrative alive. TDIP is led by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator, scumbag/liar-Clinton administration volunteer and top staffer to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Fein-stein. It employs the key opposition-research figures behind the salacious and unverified dossier: Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Its financial backers include the actor/director Rob Reiner and billionaire activist scumbag-George Soros. The project’s work has been largely shrouded in mystery. But a months-long examination by RealClearInvestigations  (RCI), drawn from  documents and more than a dozen interviews, found that the organization is running an elaborate media-influence operation that includes driving and shaping daily coverage of the Russia collusion theory, as well as pushing stories about Trump in the national media that attempt to tie the president or his associates to the Kremlin...

{americanthinker.com} ~ Congressman Garret Graves of Louisiana said at a press conference about the Green New Deal, "I've heard Democrats over and over again accuse Republicans of denying science. ... There is another type of science that is being denied here, and that is economic science." Ideological corruption of economics has a long history. John Maynard Keynes was one of the most influential economists of the early 20th century. He wrote that giving people money to dig holes and fill them would increase employment and be good for the economy. He had a point. As long as the government can print or borrow enough money to pay people to dig holes, they will create jobs; however, those jobs will not produce the food needed to feed the hole-fillers, nor will it build them a home to go to after they finish filling their last holes of the day. Basic economics teaches us that printing or borrowing the money to pay for unproductive work will result in inflation. The result will be that the money of those who do productive work will lose value, so farmers who would normally produce the food that would feed these hole-fillers will find it more and more difficult to pay for the resources they need to do so, including workers whom they will have to lay off. Left-wing Keynesian thinking if you can call it that is not far removed from the Democrats' conception of how they will pay for the Green New Deal. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the Green New Deal will create many jobs. Certainly, building energy-efficient high-speed trains and retrofitting buildings to require less energy and building giant solar farms will require a lot of labor. There is no doubt that the Green New Deal would create many jobs in the short term, just as the government paying for people to dig and fill holes would create many jobs in the short term. Perhaps the major selling point Trump has for re-election is the number of jobs he has created. The Green New Deal gives the Democrats an answer to that. They can claim they will create jobs and save the Earth from climate catastrophe in the process. In fact, the text of the Green New Deal guarantees a job for everyone. The problem is that the contribution to the economy of the Green New Deal would actually be less than that of digging and filling up holes, since even though it might reduce energy use of buildings and transportation, it would replace cheap energy with expensive energy. Replacing fossil fuels with solar cells and windmills will cause the cost of energy to go up. As the cost of energy goes up, the cost of production of useful goods will go up as well, with the result that Americans will buy cheaper goods from countries that do use fossil fuels. The result will be that fossil fuels will still be burned, the only difference being that they will be burned overseas. Just as with paying people to dig and fill holes, such a policy will result in inflation...
