  • Yes, Fake News DID Affect the 2016 Election – See What Happened in Twin Falls

    Fake NewsNew York Times writes, “On a Tuesday morning in June 2016, Nathan Brown, a reporter for The Times-News, the local paper in Twin Falls, Idaho, strolled into the office and cleared off a spot for his coffee cup amid the documents and notebooks piled on his desk. Brown, 32, started his career at a paper in upstate New York, where he grew up, and looks the part of a local reporter, clad in a fresh oxford and khakis that tend to become disheveled over the course of his long days. His first order of business was an article about a City Council meeting from the night before, which he hadn’t attended. Brown pulled up a recording of the proceedings and began punching out notes for his weekly article. Because most governing in Twin Falls is done by a city manager, these meetings tend to deal with trivial subjects like lawn-watering and potholes, but Brown could tell immediately that this one was different. …” [1]

  • “45” Administration Staffers used Private Email Account

    Dysfunction in the White House

    Private EmailThere is another hypocrite in the White House.  Opponents of the “45” Administration are openly calling, “Lock Them Up”.

    To make matters worse, certain White House officials are claiming that a Private Email Account on Shared Hosting is more secure than a Private Email Server as Hilary Clinton used.

    Using the same logic as the White House used against Hilary Clinton, these emails need to be made public.

    The excuses now keep coming:

    “Mr. Kushner uses his White House email address to conduct White House business,” Abbe Lowell, a lawyer for Kushner, said in a statement Sunday. “Fewer than 100 emails from January through August were either sent to or returned by Mr. Kushner to colleagues in the White House from his personal email account. These usually forwarded news articles or political commentary and most often occurred when someone initiated the exchange by sending an email to his personal rather than his White House address.” [1]

    • ?????@kushnercompanies.com – Registered with GoDaddy.com and routed through a DNS company called DNS Made Easy which is a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC which resolves querry traffic between several name servers.
    • ?????@ivankatrump.com

    The used of Private Email did not stop with Kushner, but also included the Chief of Staff and other high level officials.

    Folks that have used private email to conduct government business now includes:

    • Jared Kusher
    • Ivanka Trump [5] – Actual emails to SBA (PDF) [6]
    • Stephen K. Bannon
    • Reince Priebus
    • Gary D. Cohn
    • Stephen Miller
