White House Animal Farm
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to @POTUS and #RobertMueller On their 1st year of #TrumpRussiaProbe and #USA on the 45th Anniversary of the opening of the #SenateWatergateHearings. Get closer and read carefully to the following.

Elected vs Selected
An unqualified individual can be elected without the popular vote. We have seen this time and again in our democracy. When someone is selected, it usually signifies they're the very best person available for the job.
Donald John Trump was born June 14, 1946, and 70 years later won the election while losing the popular vote. However, he currently is the 45th and current President of the United States. #POTUS has been in office since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and became famous by an NBC TV Show.

Working @Walmart
Why would Walmart hire a top DOJ official? The Justice Department’s third-ranking official, Rachel Brand has a job at Walmart adding trouble an agency with vacancies plus criticism from The White House?
Follow the signs and wonder what are they trying to prevent, or hide here? Four DOJ topper posts are vacant. Division heads at civil, criminal and national security, plus now #3 slot as leaves for Walmart? Thank you for shopping Walmart. https://youtu.be/g-XGv_BsAA0 https://youtu.be/CjSSj7-eyYk https://youtu.be/BV-F3lH3jO0

CSI USA
The United States of America must conduct an investigation and consider canceling special interest influence and donations. These culprits are spreading cancer and endangering our government by increasingly infiltrating our political system of government.
Special interests are the predatory animals which are devouring our democracy. Some of these toxic groups direct public policy and increasingly play a destructive part in the development of political and social systems. Special interests are demeaning and patronizing. They've gone wild and are now dangerous and out of control.
The Need to Kneel
Before anyone says athletes have nothing to do with politics or breaking barriers we have this news to share....
First of all, when some folks pray, they kneel. Following the year-old controversy that Colin Kaepernick started, more NFL players and other athletes are reacting by sitting or taking a knee before games to protest what they perceive as racial inequities in the nation’s criminal justice system.

The State of Sanctuary
A sanctuary city limits cooperation with the federal government's effort to enforce immigration law. Sanctuary cities reduce the fear of deportation and possible family break-up among those who are in the country illegally so that such people will be more willing to report crimes, use health and social services, and enroll their kids in school.
These policies prohibit public employees from questioning people about their immigration status and refuses requests by immigration authorities to detain people beyond their release date if they are jailed for breaking local law.
Paranoia and Protection
Joseph Michael Arpaio is a convicted criminal awaiting sentencing as of August 2017. He was the elected Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, from 1993 through 2016.
@POTUS says “I’ll make a prediction: I think he’s going to be just fine.” He traveled Tuesday to Arizona, where he all but promised to pardon disgraced former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio at some point.
Trump hints that Arpaio pardon will happen http://fxn.ws/2xqXAQ9 Trump strongly hints at pardon for ex-sheriff Arpaio http://nbcnews.to/2wx5aMB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5aCLkBnWV0
A War on Drugs, or Poor Americans?
American physicians are tracking prescription meds. Also the pharmacists, and, in some jurisdictions, the police. Doctors prescribe pain killers, but the government appears to be trying to control the use of medicinal, along with recreational drugs.
Failure Facts
In a stinging and dramatic defeat and disastrous deflate to @POTUS President Donald Trump, GOP Senators failed to dismantle Obamacare, falling short on another campaign promise and ending a seven-year quest by their party to gut the health care law. They had no bill, no plan and therefore not enough support for a semi secret bill that was in a crafting process. A Whitehouse in chaos does not appear to be winning like Trump promised.

Newark Burning
It was 50 years ago today that racial protests, which turned into riots began to break out in New Jersey’s largest city. It all started with fake news that a black cab driver had been killed by the police.
When it was over, dozens were dead, hundreds were injured, and city blocks were razed by fire.
