Statement from the Press Secretary on Libya’s Successful Destruction of its Chemical Weapons Stockpile
Issued on: January 11, 2018
The United States congratulates Libya for destroying the last remnants of its Qadhafi-era chemical weapons stockpile and satisfying its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. We also gratefully recognize the key contributions of Denmark, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, Finland, Italy, Malta, France, and Spain, and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, in ensuring the proper destruction of these dangerous chemicals and protecting the integrity of the Convention. This achievement demonstrates the great progress the international community can make when all nations work together. There is more work to do. The United States calls on Syria to eliminate all chemical weapons, to dismantle fully its chemical weapons program, and to ensure that these weapons can no longer be used against the Syrian people.

Blue states are nullifying federal laws prohibiting marijuana but angry that Trump would ease Obamacare mandates on Medicaid. And the use of private tax collectors by the IRS is turning into a financial disaster for the bureaucracy and more abuse of taxpayers. Callers join David Knight to comment.

Trump Accuses FBI Agent of ‘Treason’ - straight from Alex Jones/Roger Stone U.S. is taking steps to ensure Russia doesn’t interfere with future elections, president says WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Thursday that an FBI agent once involved in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason,” and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump, unprompted, labeled as “treason” a text message written by Peter Strzok, an agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who was removed in July as a top investigator on the special counsel’s team investigating whether Russia colluded with associates of Mr. Trump to influence the 2016 presidential election. “A man is tweeting to his lover that if [Democrat Hillary Clinton ] loses, we’ll essentially do the insurance policy. We’ll go to phase two and we’ll get this guy out of office,” said Mr. Trump, giving his interpretation of Mr. Strzok’s text message. “This is the FBI we’re talking about—that is treason,” the president said. “That is a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.” Aitan Goelman, an attorney for Mr. Strzok, said: “It is beyond reckless for the president of the United States to accuse Pete Strzok, a man who has devoted his entire adult life to defending this country, of treason. It should surprise no one that the president has both the facts and the law wrong.” [...] https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-accuses-fbi-agent-of-treason-1515710206

A dazed global political and business elite spent last year’s World Economic Forum meeting in Davos—held on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration—wondering aloud what the future might hold.
One year later, the future is here. Literally. Donald Trump and a U.S. delegation led by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin are set to arrive in Davos. America’s populist-in-chief will surely make news, but there will be several storylines worth following this year.
"...some statistics to make you sit up and take notice:"
"Statement by the Press Secretary on Iran Protests"
Casual Observation
by BooMan Sat Jun 30th, 2018 at 12:28:13 PM EST
Here's are some statistics to make you sit up and take notice:
--- Turnout among black voters soared in last month’s Georgia primary, a show of strength that could bode well for Democrats in this year’s contests for governor and other statewide offices.
The number of black voters rose 43 percent in the May 22 election when compared with 2010, the last time there was a competitive race for governor, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution analysis of demographic data released this week by the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office.
The data show the broad majority of African-American voters pulled Democratic ballots, which could bolster the hope of Stacey Abrams, who is racing to be the nation’s first black female governor. Her Republican opponent will be decided in a July 24 runoff between Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
At the same time, the proportion of white voters continues to decline. White voter participation in last month’s primary was down 9 percent from 2010. And white voters are more likely to be conservative, making up 93 percent of the GOP primary vote — and just 30 percent of the Democratic support. ---
I assume some of this is purely related to the enthusiasm around Stacey Abrams and the prospect of electing the first black governor in the nation's history, but it could indicate a higher degree of political engagement for the black community in this year's elections in general. One thing the Republicans cannot rationalize is the decline in participation from their base.
