Barack Obama jetted off to Indonesia on Friday with his family for another luxury vacation. However, Rep. Trey Gowdy doesn’t think it’s a coincidence that Obama has chosen to head to a country that has no extradition agreement with the U.S. right as the investigation into former Attorney General Loretta Lynch is heating up.

Mad World News reported that Obama chose to head to Indonesia right after the Senate Intelligence Committee opened an investigation into Lynch’s handling of the Hillary Clinton probe. Gowdy would now like to know when Obama plans to come back to the U.S., because he has some questions to ask him.

“Let me hazard a wild guess: that there may be something else on that server that they didn’t want law enforcement to see?” Gowdy said. “That is where you start. I don’t like speculating, but I have dealt in the past with victims who would not cooperate with investigations. Typically, the reason is, there is something else you do not want law enforcement to see.”
This comes right as Obama’s former National Security Advisor Susan Rice is preparing to testify before the House Intelligence Committee.

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS DROPPED THEIR FIGHT TO CANCEL THE TRADEMARK OF THE NFL’S WASHINGTON REDSKINS. UNDER THE OBAMA REGIME, THE GOVERNMENT PATENT OFFICE HAD CANCELED THE TEAM’S TRADEMARK TO THE “REDSKINS” NAME, SAYING IT WAS OFFENSIVE. THE TEAM THEN SUED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO KEEP THE TRADEMARK.

The move was precipitated by a Supreme Court decision in another case, which ruled that trademarks could not be canceled just because someone found it offensive. The decision indicated they would also rule to protect trademarks in other cases, including the Redskins.

A group of Native American activists who had also sued to cancel the Redskins trademark withdrew from the case, stating they believed the Supreme Court would also rule in favor of the Redskins.

President Trump had previously voiced his support for the team’s fight to keep the Redskins trademark.

NBC12.COM REPORTS.

The Justice Department is giving up the legal fight over the name of the Washington Redskins.

In a letter to a federal appeals court, the department said last week’s Supreme Court decision in favor of an Asian-American band calling itself the Slants means the NFL team will prevail in a legal battle to cancel the team’s trademarks because the name is disparaging to Native Americans.

Mark Freeman, an attorney for the Justice Department’s civil division, wrote on Wednesday to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals that the court “should reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case with instructions to enter judgment in favor of Pro-Football.”
The Redskins case had been on hold in the federal appeals court while the Slants decision was rendered.

A furious Melania Trump punched back hard against Mika Brzezinski this weekend, defending herself and her son, Barron Trump.

Brzezinski, the “Morning Joe” co-host, was the source of deep controversy this week, as President Donald Trump openly feuded with the MSNBC show over its coverage of his presidency. Trump attacked the hosts of the show personally over their intelligence and looks.

Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough responded, questioning the mental stability of the president. In the fallout of the grudge match, Mika expanded her criticism to the entire first family, going after the First Lady Melania and her son, Barron Trump.

In an interview, Brzezinski claimed Melania has “the worst job in the country” and that it was only because of Barron that she was remaining the first lady.

“I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer. I know nothing. That’s just my instinct, and I go with my gut, and my gut’s always right. I’m just telling you, Melania’s got the worst job in the country, and I don’t think she wants to do it a lot longer. I think she will do it for as long as she has to for her son, and that’s it.”

After the salacious accusation, the first lady hit back.
Melania responded in a statement, calling the “Morning Joe” co-host “sad.” Melaina said Brzezinski does not “know” her and was using the first family to further her “own agenda.”

It is sad when people try to further their own agenda by commenting on me and my family, especially when they don’t know me.

Brzezinski bringing Barron into the fray to attack the president clearly struck a nerve for the first lady. Just this month, Melania and 11-year-old Barron officially moved into the White House. The very private Barron has become his own star, captivating the White House beat with his bold fashion choices and boyish wonder.

Barron has endured his fair share of abuse since Donald Trump entered office in January. He has been:

1. Called autistic in a public video

2. Mocked for his looks at the Inauguration

3. Called a “homeschool shooter”

4. Accused of animal mutilation

5. Called a murderer

Former MSNBC television host and liberal commentator Keith Olbermann sent out a tweet Sunday morning calling for President Trump to be impeached after the president posted a video of himself beating CNN in a wrestling match on Twitter.

“Please RT if you agree the cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment, TODAY, and immediately remove @realDonaldTrump from the presidency,” Olbermann wrote.
Trump tweeted the video of himself taking down someone whose face is replaced with a CNN logo Sunday morning with the caption “#FraudNewsCNN #FNN.”

At the end of the video, the letters FNN appear with the words “fraud news network” directly underneath them.

The video meme is taken from an event in 2007 where Trump bodyslammed WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania XXII.

Various Trump supporters edited the video to show the president tackling his many foes, including CNN.
Liberals, including Olbermann, were not amused by the meme. In his tweet, Olbermann referred to the efforts by congressional Democrats to deem Trump “mentally unfit” to serve as president so they can pass a bill that would allow Congress remove him from office under the 25th Amendment.

The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967 shortly after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, addresses the issue of what to do when a president becomes unable to perform his presidential duties. It allows the vice president to assume the presidency in case the president resigns or the cabinet removes him from office because he is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

Olbermann has called for Trump to be impeached several times within 24 hours.

The first time, Olbermann alleged that Trump “attacked freedom of speech” and called for his impeachment
Then, he tweeted that the vice president and the cabinet should use the 25th Amendment to get Trump to resign:

The FBI has had a difficult time of it for several months. That’s the sort of thing that happens when one gets involved with corrupt individuals such as the Clintons and Mr. Obama. Of course, it’s the FBI’s job to “get involved” with corrupt people, but that should be from a position of enforcing the law, not one of letting things slide to benefit political interests.

To add to the problems the agency is dealing with as a result of Mr. Comey’s questionable actions, it has now been revealed that another crime appears to have been covered up.

The Daily Caller is reporting that an FBI agent has been charged with obstruction of justice and making false statements in a shooting incident, and that he faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

“An FBI agent was indicted Wednesday on allegations of lying to cover up his role in the shooting of militia leader Robert “LaVoy” Finicum in Oregon last year.

“Agent W. Joseph Astarita, a 40-year-old Hostage Rescue Team member, allegedly lied about firing twice on Finicum, who was shot to death in the course of an attempted arrest related to the militia’s occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in January 2016, reported the Oregonian. While Astarita’s shots missed, two state police officers shot and killed Finicum just moments later, possibly triggered by Astarita opening fire first.”

Unfortunately, we’ve been down this road before with a member of the Hostage Rescue Team shooting a civilian.

“Finicum is seen getting out of the truck and walking through the snow with his hands up in surrender. He then makes a move to reach into his jacket, where the FBI said he was carrying a gun. At that point, one of the authorities walks up out of the woods and shoots Finicum dead from behind.

“The state police officers were deemed justified in shooting Finicum, a verdict which remains unchanged by Astarita’s indictment, according to Oregon U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams.”

If, indeed, Mr. Finicum was preparing to open fire on the police they were completely justified in shooting him while defending themselves. On the other hand, FBI agent Astarita’s indictment clearly demonstrates that he did something for which he felt it necessary to cover up.

And this is why it’s always a better idea to give panhandlers food instead of money. A homeless man who spends his days begging for money at a Brighton, Michigan intersections actually turned down a $10.00 and hour job a car dealership offered him.

A homeless man who spends his days begging for money at a Brighton, Michigan intersections actually turned down a $10.00 and hour job a car dealership offered him.

Dealership management was so in awe by the reason the homeless man gave for not accepting the offer that they did what any hard working American would have done. They let the world know about it by posting a sign which read “Please Do Not give anything to this Panhandler. We offered him a full-time job at $10.00/HR. He said: ‘I make more money than any of you, and he did not want a job. Please donate to a more worthy cause.” Good for them!

23 Amazing Panhandling Statistics
May 22, 2017
When you see a panhandler out on the street, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Many see panhandlers as lazy people, alcoholics perhaps, and definitely a freeloader. What if everything that society thought about panhandlers happened to be wrong?
In a recent survey, 94% of panhandlers use the funds that they get from the donations of others to simply purchase the food they need.

Some panhandlers do have the ability to make upwards of $80,000 per year, but those are the exception instead of the rule. In San Francisco, for example, the average daily intake for a panhandler is just $25 per day and some people have been living this way for 5 years or more. Many must opt for the cheapest food options available, which mean high fat, low nutritional content foods so that they can stretch their money further.

Three Fast Facts About Panhandling

1. Only 3% of panhandlers don’t want some form of permanent housing that would help to get them off of the street.
2. 48% of panhandlers are African American.
3. 1 out of every 4 panhandlers in the United States has served in the military at some point in time.

Takeaway: There will always be people who try to take advantage of others and panhandling is no different. The problem is that an uncaring attitude toward all panhandlers because of the actions of a few creates future problems that will ultimately create even more panhandlers. When more than 60% of panhandlers make less than $25 per day and when more than 60% of them are disabled in some way, that is not a life that anyone would wish on their greatest enemy… yet there is an expectation that panhandlers should crawl up out of the mess unassisted and contribute to society because a few take advantage of others.
