Heard she may get some competition from Barry. He's up for the Profile in Courage Award also. The selection committee pointed out. "Due to the strength of his convictions (reelection), not one US serviceman was wounded attempting to save these 4 in Benghazi."

A woman who clearly has a problem differentiating between reality and fantasy.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) announced Monday that she is nominating Christine Blasey Ford for the John F. Kennedy Library’s “Profile in Courage” award. Ford accused now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct at a party when they were both in high school. She testified before the Senate detailing her accusations during his confirmation hearings.
Dr. Blasey Ford, a psychologist who teaches at Palo Alto University, testified that Kavanaugh groped her and attempted to rape her when he was drunk at a high school party over 40 years ago. Kavanaugh denied the allegations.
A lengthy report from the Senate Judiciary Committee showed that none of the claims of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, including those made by Blasey Ford, could be backed up by hard evidence or corroboration.
Despite the lack of hard evidence backing up her claims against Kavanaugh, Blasey Ford has been honored as a hero by many liberals and some in the media.
In addition to the nomination for the “Profiles in Courage” award, whose past recipients include three former presidents, Blasey Ford was on the shortlist for Time magazine’s Person of the Year and presented Sports Illustrated’s “Inspiration of the Year” award in December.
The abortion advocacy group NARAL applauded the nomination.
Their support of the nomination is unsurprising given that the group tweeted out in October that they still believed Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick despite the fact that Swetnick herself walked back the initial claims that she had made in her sworn testimony against Kavanaugh.

I have never seen this video before and cannot vouch 100% for its authenticity. So assume it's real and Bernie's drunk. Do I give a damn? No. It's not a big deal because it's Bernie. But I can guarantee you had this been Trump in 1988 and someone dug up this video it would have been the lead story on every television network across the globe!
I'll give you more proof of media bias. Ask anyone on the street who Chelsea Clinton's father-in-law is. Bet they couldn't tell you.

A man and woman are facing child neglect/homicide charges in the death of their 4-month-old baby boy.
According to The Associated Press, Unified police arrested Jessica Lujan, 20, and Jose Ramirez, 21, on Friday afternoon after their infant son was found dead in a Midvale, Utah, motel room.
Lujan told police that the baby had been screaming as she argued with Ramirez, KUTV reported. She said she became enraged, struck the boy "several times" and used her fingernails to scratch him, according to court documents. She then "placed the child into his car seat, upside-down" before she went to bed, court documents said.
Ramirez told police that he and the baby eventually fell asleep, KUTV reported. When Ramirez woke up, the boy was not breathing, he said.
"He did not call 911 despite having several options for doing so to get help for the now unresponsive child," court documents said, according to the TV station.
After Ramirez attempted to give the child CPR, Lujan called 911, put down the phone without speaking and walked out of their room, police said. Ramirez grabbed the phone and spoke to dispatchers, KUTV reported.

Remember the Hollywood assholes who couldn't get enough of Chavez as he was destroying the country?
Where are they now?
Her mantra:
"Striving to make America Venezuela"
What I don't understand is this. Name me one country in the world which is run under the principle of socialism which is more prosperous than the United States? When the Venezuelan people were told this is free, that is free, it was music to their ears.
Until somebody had to pay for it.
-------------------------------------
Venezuela was once the wealthiest country in South America, but in recent years millions have fled the country amid mass starvation and violence after socialist policies were enacted and government seized private industries.
Now, as Venezuelans struggle against the country’s current dictator, some Venezuelan exiles in the U.S. are desperately warning Americans to avoid going down a similar path.
“Socialism not only takes away from people the access to basic food and medicines but also creates an environment in which life is worth nothing,” Giannina Raffo, who fled Venezuela in 2016 but who still works with activist organizations there, told Fox News.
Despite that situation in Venezuela, polls show Americans warming to the term “socialism” in recent years.
Venezuelans who have fled their country warn that their country’s history shows what others must watch for and avoid.
Venezuela’s journey to disaster began in 1992 when a Venezuelan lieutenant colonel named Hugo Chavez led several army units in a coup against the government. More than 100 people were killed in the fighting, but his coup was defeated.
However, in the name of national unity, the government released Chavez from prison after just two years.
Chavez made many positive statements about socialism after his release from prison. Almost immediately after his release, he went to Cuba and spoke before the Cuban parliament and Fidel Castro, telling them: “I do not deserve this honor. I hope I will deserve it one day... We are committed to the revolutionary work.”

Four years after that, Chavez ran for the Venezuelan Presidency. During his run, he downplayed his previous radicalism – telling people that he was ''neither for savage capitalism, nor socialism, nor Communism''. Instead, he claimed to support a "third way" -- a balance between socialism and capitalism.
Chavez won the election. Maria Teresa Romero, a Venezuelan who fled to the U.S., says Chavez’s softer rhetoric was all about seizing power.
“Hugo Chávez deceived people by blatantly using lies,” she told Fox News.
News reports from when Chavez won the Presidency in 1998 state that some Venezuelans sent their valuable property to Miami to protect it from potential confiscation.

But in the short run, their property was safe. Chavez didn't implement many socialist policies immediately.
His first priority was instead to re-write the Constitution. He was direct about it, telling the Venezuelan congress in 1999: "The constitution, and with it, the ill-fated political system to which it gave birth 40 years ago, has to die. It is going to die, sirs -- accept it."

Chavez succeeded in re-writing the Constitution, which came with new rights to things like free government-provided health care, college, and “social justice”. The constitution passed a popular vote easily, with 72% of the vote.
The basic structure of both the old and new constitutions followed the U.S. model – with a Presidency, a legislative branch, and a Supreme Court.
However, after several Supreme Court rulings went against Chavez, in 2004 he “stacked the court” by passing a law to add 12 new justices to it – justices that he got to pick.
A similar move was once proposed in the United States by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the idea has also been proposed recently by professors angry about President Trump’s nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the court.
Only once Chavez had control of the courts and the legislature did he begin to fully advance socialist policies.
“A series of changes started to show us the terrifying truth,” Giannina Raffo said. “Constant attacks on private property, the implementation of very harmful economic policies, criminalization of dissent, censorship, etc,”
In 2006, Chavez ran for election on an overtly socialist platform, and soon after he won, he began major seizures privately-owned property.
Thousands of private businesses were nationalized – including media outlets, oil and power companies, mines, farms, banks, factories, and grocery stores.
One video shows a shop owner in tears as his business is confiscated for charging higher prices than were allowed.
Through the nationalizations, Americans from Michael Moore to Nobel-prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz often applauded Chavez’s regime. In beginning, Chavez had shown some progress in reducing poverty – something experts say was possible by spending Venezuela’s vast oil wealth.
“They were able to fund a lot with the oil money, and when oil prices went down, the rest of the economy had been just destroyed,” Tom Palmer, Executive VP at the Atlas Network, told Fox News.

America may be a long way from Venezuela’s tragedy, experts say. Polls show that many of the 37 percent of Americans who say they support “socialism” actually have in mind the generous welfare states seen in Europe, rather than the traditional definition of socialism – the nationalization of production.
Giannina Raffo personally experienced the effects of Chavez’s economic policies, which caused massive shortages and hyperinflation.
“Just before coming to the U.S. in January 2016, my family and I used to make +8 hour lines to buy basic goods.”
Food was her biggest worry.
“It’s the same that Cuba has – basically you can only buy a certain amount of food per week (2 pastas, 2 milks, 1 chicken, etc).”
She noted that, often, even that amount was not available. Surveys show the average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds.
Her family was fortunate and was able to move out of the country.
“'Living' in Venezuela was not living anymore. [My family] only spent their time trying to find food and medicines to survive. The apartment that [my family] left behind – my home for 24 years – is now empty. They are not coming back.”
She continues to be an activist and tries to help Venezuelan pro-freedom groups from the U.S.
My advice to people, especially to youth, is to never stop fighting for their freedom. Never let your country be ruined by a "Chavez" or anyone,” she said.
“Don't let someone ruin your next generations with absurd ideas of socialism. Educate and disseminate ideas of freedom as far you can.”
How socialism turned Venezuela from the wealthiest country in South America into an economic basket case
Let's be honest. This bitch should be behind bars right now.

The ringleader
The quandary is in some cases the criminals needing to be indicted are one and the same as those ordering the indicting... as in Tarmac Lynch. As you can see a lot more work needs to be done and this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Of course, the one in the red square is immune from prosecution even if they had the video of Putin giving her the sack of money for the uranium.
Remember when Barry said this..."Nobody in my administration got indicted"
To her point remember Trump is asking for only $5.7 billion. That's pocket change under Washington standards. Wasn't it Barry who spent a trillion dollars (that's trillion with a T) on his beloved "shovel ready" stimulus package then laughed off his debacle with his Republican pal on the right Jeffery Immelt who did for GE what Barry did for America?

Fucking disgusting!
He was as flippant about losing a trillion dollars of YOUR money as losing $20 bucks in a slot machine.
Think about this for a second. The annual budget is $4 trillion dollars, right?
