Wait–Obama White House Hid Intelligence On Iran To Push Through Nuclear Deal - Matt Vespa
Wait–Obama White House Hid Intelligence On Iran To Push Through Nuclear Deal - Matt Vespa:
"So, Guy has been very prolific in dissecting and documenting the highly flawed Iranian nuclear agreement, which gave the Obama White House some breathing room regarding possibly using military options to prevent this state-sponsor of terror from acquiring nuclear weapons. Well, as negotiations were occurring between the Iranians, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, and the four other nations that make up the permanent wing of the United Nationals Security Council, the Obama White House hid information that Iran was transporting militants to Syria in order to push through the agreement"

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin won’t commit to Harriet Tubman on $20 bill | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV:
"Maybe putting Harriet Tubman on the new $20 bill isn’t a done deal after all.
Back in April 2016, Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, said that the black abolitionist hero would appear on a new version of the bill.
It would be the first time a woman has appeared on U.S. paper currency in over 100 years – and the first time ever for a black woman.
In a CNBC interview that aired Thursday, however, current Treasury leader Steven Mnuchin was asked whether he supports putting Tubman on the $20 bill.
He responded, “Ultimately we will be looking at this issue, [but] It’s not something that I’m focused on at the moment...”

Trump confuses 't-o' and 't-o-o' during Thursday tweet storm:"WASHINGTON (AP) — Should President Donald Trump thumb through a dictionary before putting his thumbs to work on tweets?
Trump confused “to” and “too” during a series of tweets Thursday morning, getting it right after two tries.
He also replaced “their” with the correct “there” in the same two-part tweet.
Over the weekend, Trump was tripped up by “heel” when he meant to write “heal” in comments about dueling rallies in Boston."

Blog: Charlottesville false narrative crushed by DHS warning:
"Governor Terry McAuliffe's efforts to evade responsibility for the shocking violence at Charlottesville just got even more implausible. He and local authorities were warned, and yet allowed, if not forced, the two violence-prone parties into such close proximity that violence was a near certainty."

"...Is it possible that Los Angeles high schools are simply not giving their students the academic skills that they need in order to make it in higher education?
This seems plausible when one looks at the numbers coming out of the district.
In the 2015-16 school year, 77 percent of Los Angeles seniors completed high school.
This means that three in four high school seniors were proficient in reading, math, and other subjects, right?
Not exactly.
When tested for proficiency in reading and math during their 11th grade year, only 42 percent were able to pass muster in English, while 31 percent did so in math.
...Unfortunately, this state of things may not be limited to Los Angeles.
As former New York City public school teacher and principal Bernard Gassaway recently noted in Education Week, public school officials routinely find loopholes through which they inflate graduation rates.
These loopholes include allowing failing students to receive course credit for minimal effort, and also “reclassifying general education students” as those with disabilities in order to “become eligible for a lower graduation threshold...”

James Comey started drafting statement exonerating Hillary Clinton before FBI interviewed her, aides:
"Former FBI Director James Comey started to draft a statement exonerating Hillary Clinton in the bureau's investigation into her use of a private email server before the FBI interviewed her or her key witnesses, the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday.
"Conclusion first, fact-gathering second — that's no way to run an investigation. The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy," "
