Yes, Major, there does seem to be a God out there somewhere.  If Avenatti is convicted of a felony he can never run for president (oh wait, he is a democrat so they might change the rules for him) nor can he run for any elected office, not to mention he will lose his right to vote altogether.  Only a pardon from the governor of his state and a restoration of his rights can change that.

Of course, he will expect a trial by jury and not the travesty he inflicted on Kavenaugh. I hope they shit on him from a dizzy height.

The "she hit me first" defense will not go over well with a judge or a jury.  He keeps saying he will sue TMZ for defamation.  This man went to George Washington Law School?  It is true he was arrested.  It is true he was charged.  I hope they roast him over a slow fire.  I suppose he could try the "they're out to get me" defense.

Yes, and he lived in Canada. Far away from the rest of you heathens.

Seems a little odd when two ex wifes and girlfriends came to his add and said that he would never do that and he wasn't that kind of guy. Most men would be too scared to take two ex's to a court room to speak on their behalf even if it was for only something minor like throwing your gum out your car window. It could be a set up but then maybe not.

He will be glad either way not having Shula and the Major picked for jurors.

Why can't democrats ever accept the fact that they can actually lose an election? Following the Florida debacle, the Georgia democrat, Stacey Abrams, lost the election, has finally admitted there is no way back for her but will not concede to her Repub rival. She's blaming the election result on racism, guess what colour she is? And the dems are right behind her, with a number of them coming out and saying the same thing. Not an ounce of proof mind you, which there never is, why have proof when you can point the racist finger? Let's have the proof or shut up. Now we have what could possibly be their candidate against Trump in 2020, Kamala Harris, comparing ICE to the Ku Klux Klan. Can they get more bizarre? Yes they can.

Trump managed to make it to the California fires and is still saying if they swept the forest floors better there there wouldn't be the fires.

It stems from him seeing a fire fighter appear to be raking the ground. Trump doesn't know that forest fires will travel under ground following the root system and that's what the fire fighter was checking for. By raking the top soil you are exposing the roots and giving them oxygen and if there is a fire burning under ground it will start smoking to show you. It's part of making a fire break on a small scale. We used to use our tracked carriers to tear up the ground by doing sharp turns and circles instead of rakes.  You would be surprised how far a fire can travel just under the ground especially when dealing with 60ft pine trees and their root systems. You don't normal fight the fire at the fire wall but out in front of it at a cut line or fire break. Trouble is in California it's too hills to make fire breaks. The lack of rain in their area is probably their biggest problem.

I wonder did Trump visit the emergency centre they have set up for the people. There has been 25 cases of the Norovirus reported there so far. Most people are using their pup tents and trailers and a lot have set up a camp in a Walmarts parking lot away from the danger area. Dead total is up to 74 with over a thousand not counted for.

The Euro-Weinies are whining about Trump's Armistice Day visit & the dis-respect he has showed towards them. Le Monde reported it like a divorce between the U.S. & the E.U. & some German guy said Trump & the Americans no longer share European values such as human rights, democracy, & the free press. Can you image that coming from a German, with their history? Well, he is right to some extent, most Americans I know do not compare ourselves to Europe......we are better than that. I suspect our British friends feel the same way. Macron distanced himself from Trump & seems to be ready to take the scepter from Mother Merkel when she retires. Imagine that????

Where do I start? On a continent with some very dangerous politicians, Macron has emerged as the most dangerous. He would destroy France and see it as a victory. Here's a man who had an affair with his school teacher at the age of 15 and ends up marrying her. Imagine if the roles were reversed? He'd have been jailed for being a perv, but enough of the strange love birds. In the election for president Macron suddenly emerges as some form of independent, an unknown crusader of just 39, when he was anything but. This man is a devious, Machiavellian wheeler dealer, who was shipped in as a moderate to counteract the rise of Le Pen, when in fact, he is the ultimate insider. He was a Rothschild banker, where he went from a junior to a partner in two years and if that fact alone doesn't prick your ears up, I have more. He became a multi millionaire and began working politically behind the scenes, building up acquaintances including one with the main man at the main French newspaper, Le Monde, whose father was a communist. He was a member of an inner political circle, including ex president Sarkozy, who were promoting mass mixed marriages for the French nation and the means to bring it about by the use of mass immigration from Africa. Macron was groomed for the opportunity and when it came every globalist big wig in Europe and of course Obarmy, glowingly endorsed him against Le Pen, in yet another example of the US interfering in foreign elections, a habit which has galvanised the left since Trump got in, blaming a foreign state for doing exactly what they have been doing, the difference being, no foreign power helped Trump, he was just another victim of this globalist political coup but one man who can see straight through it. Trump praised nationalism and Macron condemned it as the very opposite of patriotism, never mind that the two words are used as synonyms of each other. Globalists fear patriotism. Now he's calling for a European army, something the EU have always said would never happen and get this, to protect Europe from Russia, China and the US. The US! The utter wanker wouldn't be there speaking in a free French nation if it wasn't for the US, it would be German or Russian. He's surrounded by the dead of the US. Macron has openly come out and said that France has a shared future with Africa, really? He believes that Europe shouldn't exist as a caucasian entity, he doesn't believe in nation states or European nations and their culture. On a a visit to Denmark he told the Danes there was no such thing as a true Dane or a true Frenchman. He blamed his own countrymen for.... a stubborn resistance to change. The wanker has never heard of the saying.... if it's not broke, don't change it. Has he ever visited the cultures and people he champions as the future for France? No, he hasn't. he's a left wing lunatic who believes all men are equal. all cultures are equal..... no they are not. European culture is the graetest culture in the history of mankind. He wants his countrymen to live under  a civilisation he wouldn't contemplate for his own family in a thousand years, no, those ideals are for others. He's told his fellow French citizens they are too stubborn for change, when actually, they are finally realising they are getting too stubborn for cultural extinction. He actually doesn't believe in nation states, there should be no France, no Holland, no Germany, no Great Britain, no fuckin thanks froggy. D'you think this shithouse will hang about to suffer the fate he's working on for the rest of Europe? How many African neighbours does he have now? The answer is none and he'll have less than that in the future, no, they are for those who will fulfil his lefty lunatic dreams. Britain has a golden opportunity to break away from this lunacy right now, to be a fully independent nation again, to make our own laws, to determine our own future and it makes me puke to watch those masochistic remainers grovelling to have their lives governed from afar. I just don't get it, I never will. Brexit arrived just in time, but the walls are creaking and we need to stay out, stay strong, stay independent, because in the future the peoples of Europe will once more look to us for their deliverence, as they did when the other despots, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Kaiser Bill and Hitler dominated and supressed Europe. You Yanks and our other old empire countries have an invitation to join us,

Media sector gets $595-million package in Ottawa’s fiscal update DANIEL LEBLANC PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS REPORTER OTTAWA The federal government unveiled a $595-million package over five years to help Canada’s media sector, including measures to facilitate fundraising by non-profit news organizations and tax breaks to fund the production of original content. In addition, the government is proposing a temporary 15 per cent tax credit for Canadians on online subscriptions to some media outlets. An independent panel comprised of members of the news and journalism industry will flesh out the application of the moves announced in Wednesday’s fall economic statement. In particular, the group will decide which journalism jobs and which news organizations are eligible for the new funding. The federal government said it wants to assist Canada’s news industry, which is struggling to adapt to new media consumption habits and the migration of advertisers toward foreign digital platforms. In a speech in the House, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the goal is to “protect the vital role that independent news media play in our democracy and in our communities.” The issue of federal funding for news organizations has divided Canada’s media community and sparked heated political debate, with the Conservatives arguing new funding to the media should not be awarded in an election year. “The media should be independent from the government,” Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre said. “We should not have a situation where the government picks a panel that then decides who gets to report the news. That is very dangerous.” The funding will start flowing slowly, starting with planned spending of $45-million next year before ramping up to $165-million a year by 2023. The costliest new measure is a refundable tax credit to support “labour costs associated with producing original news content” that will be offered to both for-profit and non-profit news organizations. The tax credit will take effect on Jan. 1, 2019. In terms of fundraising, the federal government will allow “non-profit journalism organizations that produce a wide variety of news and information of interest to Canadians” to get charitable status and issue official receipts to donors. This would encourage philanthropic support for non-profit organizations by allowing donors to deduct approximately half of the value of their donations from their income taxes. In addition, charities could also start giving money to these non-profit organizations. The government said the package will aim to help “trusted” news organizations, but will leave it to the media industry to define the application of the new initiatives. After being briefed on the package, representatives of some major news organizations said the government has found innovative ways to support the media without interfering in the reporting process. Along with other media organizations, Globe and Mail publisher Phillip Crawley said the newspaper is set to launch a foundation that will receive donations to support specific forms of journalism. “At a time when some of the traditional sources of revenue are fading, like print advertising, it is important to tap into a new funding source like philanthropic funding,” he said. “It could be millions of dollars.” Regarding the tax breaks for employees, he said the key will be defining eligibility criteria. “It depends on the industry handling this responsibly," Mr. Crawley said. "The definition of what constitutes a journalist is important.” Brian Myles, the director of Montreal-based Le Devoir, said the proposals will help attract donations and subscribers to his daily, in addition to paying for newsroom costs. “All of this will have a significant impact and help us weather the effects of the digital transition,” he said. The NDP offered its support to the moves in Wednesday’s economic update, while calling

Over here the EU has today formally accepted Theresa May's EU Withdrawal document, all she has to do now is get it through Parliament. The current figures are against her with many Conservatives ready to vote it down. That vote will be held around 10 December, if she fails, as seems likely I think she will resign and hand the poisoned chaice to someone else. I half hope it is Boris Johnson just so we can see what a useless bag of wind he is.

The border with the Republic. At the moment the border is all but invisible as we're both in the same Customs Union. After Brexit the rules will no longer apply to us and therefore customs tariffs etc will apply, but that will mean a physical border that no-one wants, in fact the lack of a physical border is part of the NI peace document signed in 1998. As I've said before a full Brexit is IMPOSSIBLE due to the NI situation.

Mark, don't let your TDS diminish your otherwise flawless grasp of real statistics. The employment figures in the US for women, Blacks, Hispanics and men are at record levels. Just try to see beyond the red mist. The US economy is booming, surely you must know this? Have you any idea just how many companies he's bullied into returning back to the US? Bringing manufacturing and prosperity with them? He told the big companies when he got into office.... you made your millions on the back of American workers and then you desert them? Not happening. He threatened them, cajoled them and now many US companies are returning back to the States. Manufacturing jobs are at records not seen possible in Obarmy's time, but hey, didn't he say the jobs have gone and will not be coming back? Those were his very words and he accepted tham. Well nobody told Trump that and he didn't.

Russia has been bullying again. Ramming Ukrainian boats on purpose and then capturing them. The UN including the States is voicing loud condemation while Trump says, " Well they speak Russian there anyway don't they." They will be walking in and taking over the Ukraines fully next. Maybe, just maybe the Russian are seeing the Brexit break up with the EU and the Americans distancing themself's from NATO and not applying the sanctions on Russia hard enough that it is a sign of opportunity for them. Maybe, just maybe the Russians won't just be satisfied with taking the Ukraines.

Now, if Trump suddenly gets real aggressive with the Russians, you'll be telling us he's going to get us all killed. So, what would you want the President to do?
