  • The Trump-Russia Collusion Case
    The Trump-Russia Collusion Case Updated to August 2020 Source: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/trumptraitor.html For those who have been following this page for a while: my main target is not Trump, my target is Putin. Putin, not Trump, is the most dangerous person in the world. Trump is just a lackey, a small-time crook and bit-time liar whom Putin is using to attack the USA. The problem is not that there is no evidence of Trump-Putin collusion, the problem is that there is too much of it. I have added some background about the motive of Russia's interference in US politics. In my opinion, it was not only a general attempt at undermining US institutions (that came later) but originally it was a determined effort to make sure that Hillary Clinton did not become president. Putin feared her more than anyone else. For those who have NOT followed this page from the beginning: this website was one of the first to talk about the Trump-Russia collusion at a time when few dared mention the Steele dossier. Just to be very clear: this is not about whether Russia's interference changed the results of the election (i personally think that the FBI investigation into Clinton's email server had a much bigger impact). It is about Putin's strategy to attack the USA, and, secondly, it is about the extent of Trump's collaboration with Putin. And, just to be fair, Putin's Russia is not the only country that ever interfered in US politics.

  • Compilation | Coronavirus 7-8 May 2020 As of 1630
    COMPILATION | CORONAVIRUS 7-8 MAY 2020 AS OF 1630 Overview: Leading coverage today was the Department of Labor monthly jobs report showing the U.S. unemployment rate hit 14.7% in April, the highest since the Great Depression. Also generating coverage was news that Vice President Pence’s spokesperson Katie Miller has tested positive for coronavirus, with outlets referencing yesterday’s news that one of Pres. Trump’s Navy valets also tested positive. While limited primarily to defense and Beltway publications, Operation Inherent Resolve commander Lt. Gen. White’s media availability and remarks on COVID-19’s impact on U.S. operations generated coverage from several outlets in attendance. OIR commander Lt. Gen. White’s remarks on ISIS attempts to exploit the pandemic generated attention, including CNN and Military Times noting he said ISIS attacks, though “failing miserably,” have increased in recent weeks amid disruptions in coalition operations. Meanwhile, Military Times and Politico highlighted his comments acknowledging that the pandemic has caused a slowdown in troop rotations to and from the region. In a separate Washington Post piece, Iraqi officials attributed the increased attacks in part to operational changes as a result of COVID-19. Of note, The Hill covered the “escalating war of words” surrounding Sec. Esper’s letter to SASC chairman Sen. John Inhofe (R-OK), which addressed criticism by Democratic senators of the Pentagon’s slow response on COVID-19. The outlet highlighted Sec. Esper’s defense of the DoD as being “ahead of need at every step” and his disappointment “that some, especially committee members, would argue that the Defense Department has demonstrated a ‘failure to adequately respond to the ongoing coronavirus disease.” Other DoD-related news: • CNN published a firsthand account by the Javits Center’s deputy director, a Marine Corps veteran, of the rapid transformation of the medical facility into one of the city’s largest COVID-19 hospitals and overcoming seemingly “insurmountable” challenges in an effort to save lives.
