Did SETH RICH Learn Of Duplicate
liar-Clinton Polling Stations Used To Stuff Ballots?
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Bill Still has some interesting information that he presents with the caveat that it was sent to him by an anonymous source regarding the Seth Rich murder... It purports to be from a girlfriend of Rich’s named Claudia Kash. He notes that that is not the same girlfriend who was pictured with the Rich family when they visited the scene of the crime in August of 2016. Still acknowledges that Rich could easily have had two girlfriends, “So let’s see what Claudia Kash had to say. This letter,” he says, “is dated July 21st, about two weeks after his death.” She details a duplicate set of polling locations, one for the general public which were listed on state websites, and another for liar-Hillary Clinton supporters which were identified on the liar-Clinton website. The locations listed on the liar-Clinton website were not known to the various Secretaries of State and were not on state records. Kash describes how she believes the scam worked. “While most voters looked up their location on their state website, voters who were signed up as liar-Hillary Clinton supporters would be directed to her site to find their polling place.”... http://rickwells.us/seth-rich-learn-duplicate-clinton-polling-stations-stuff-ballots/
'Direct Collision':
U.S. Successfully Destroys a Missile in Flight
by PATRICK GOODENOUGH
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ In a "critical milestone" for the program to provide a missile defense umbrella over the U.S. homeland, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency on Tuesday reported the first successful interception and destruction in flight of a target with ICBM characteristics... A ground-based interceptor launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California collided with and destroyed an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)-class projectile that had been launched from at atoll in the Marshall Islands, more than 4,500 miles away, the MDA reported. The first live-fire test of the ground-based midcourse defense system (GMD) against an ICBM-class target comes at a time of greater-than-usual tensions on the Korean peninsula, as Kim Jong-un's regime continues to test ballistic missiles and threatens to use nuclear weapons against the United States... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/direct-collision-us-successfully-destroys-a-missile-in-flight?f=must_readsby PATRICK GOODENOUGH

California Pushes Forward
$400 Billion Universal Health Care Bill
by Jack Crowe
{dailysignal.com} ~ The California Senate Appropriations Committee passed a $400 billion universal health care bill Thursday with no plan to pay for it... The committee passed the bill in a 5-2 vote, sending it to be taken up on the Senate floor next week. The bill, known as the Healthy California Act, was introduced by Democratic state Sen. Ricardo Lara, who also chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Appropriations Committee’s passage of the bill closely followed Monday’s release of the first cost assessment of the bill, which projects the bill would cost more than the state’s entire budget for the year beginning July 1...http://dailysignal.com/2017/05/30/california-pushes-forward-400-billion-universal-health-care-bill/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CapitolBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWldOa1ltUXdaR1E0TldOaiIsInQiOiJWNmxQU2xpMHV2YXVNUERlOXp2M3ZRU21Mc295TFd5OFluTURxakV5K01tTFlJQlwvSGV2Y3lhSUMzYjdDRlRMUW9KZ1MrV09sTlRFVXA4Q0ljRWR1S2JsUHVwTU0rWjNWUzJoWUhWTzNmXC9jSkl3dnVTSytYSHdlOG5pNDAxdW9VIn0%3D. {hotair.com} ~ The GOP Senate hasn’t officially given up yet but this certainly looks like a white flag waving in Iowa. It’s not clear what tinkering around the edges means but it’s clearly a big step back from repeal and replace... And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been making similar noises aimed at lowering expectations. The problem in the Senate is not unlike the one in the House. In the House you had the Freedom Caucus demanding one thing and the moderates rejecting those demands. In the Senate, you have moderates like Lisa Murkowski and Rob Portman who are looking to tone down the House bill. They have been aided by the CBO score which found the House bill would lead to tens of millions fewer people with health insurance albeit many by their own choice. Meanwhile, conservatives like Ted Cruz support the removal of some of the rules, such as coverage requirements, which they argue are responsible for the higher costs of liar-nObamacare plans. http://hotair.com/archives/2017/05/30/senators-ernst-grassley-lower-expectations-obamacare-repeal/?utm_source=hadaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

{westernjournalism.com} ~ Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton on Monday dismissed German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s criticism of President Donald Trump as motivated by both her own political concerns and Trump’s pressure on Europe to pay for its own defense.
Merkel recently expressed her dissatisfaction with Trump’s refusal to say that he would agree to abide by the Paris accord on climate change, which he had criticized as a candidate.
“The times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days,” Merkel said Sunday in remarks viewed as a direct criticism of Trump. “And that is why I can only say: We Europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands.”
She described the climate talks as “very difficult, if not to say, very unsatisfactory.”
“Here is a situation where it’s six, seven if you include the EU, against one,” she said. “That means there are so far no signs whether the United States of America will remain in the Paris agreement or not.”
Merkel said EU members wish to maintain “good neighborly relations wherever possible” with other nations, but added that “we have to know that we have to fight for our future and our fate ourselves as Europeans.”
Speaking on Fox News Monday, Bolton said Merkel, who was a close ally of former President Barack liar-nObama, was motivated by two main issues.
“There’s a German election coming up and that has a lot to do with it,” he said.
The wider issue at stake, he said, is Trump’s rejection of what Bolton called “EU theology” that calls for “greater government control over the economy and ceding of power to “institutions of global governance.”
“Chancellor Merkel has said this before,” Bolton said. “Her ire is directed not only against the United States on the Paris agreement but also against Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom, who joined with President Trump on many key issues.”
At the end of its recent meeting, the G7 noted that the United States was a holdout on the Paris accord.
“I thought it was extraordinarily unusual for the G7 to have a communiqué that isolated one of its members. I’m not aware that that has ever happened before on any significant issue,” said Bolton.
“You do not have to believe that the political approach of the Paris accord is the right way to go,” Bolton said.
Underneath it all, Bolton said, Merkel and others were “stung” by Trump’s public scolding of NATO members to pay their agreed-upon share to support Europe’s defense.
“It was the right thing to say publicly,” Bolton noted, because past administrations that have made private pleas have seen those requests ignored.
