01) Trump FREAKS OUT Over Impeachment
“President Donald Trump went on a bizarre tangent during a rally Thursday night in Billings, Montana, speculating about his possible impeachment while attempting to convince his supporters to vote Republican in November’s midterm elections.
“This election, you aren’t just voting for a candidate, you’re voting for which party controls Congress,” Trump said. “I don’t even bring it up, because I view it as something that… you know… they like to use the ‘impeach’ word, ‘impeach Trump.’ But I say, how do you impeach somebody that’s doing a great job, that hasn’t done anything wrong? Our economy is good. How do you do it? How do you do it?

“Acclaimed journalist Bob Woodward’s upcoming new book, Fear: Trump in the White House, is set to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the distrust within the president’s inner circle and the chaos that reportedly consumes his White House.
According to excerpts obtained Tuesday by CNN and The Washington Post, Woodward’s book uses deep-background interviews with many Trump staffers to illustrate how Trump’s top advisers view him in a stunningly negative light and how the president’s obsession with the Russia probe has driven a wedge between him and his most trusted advisers…

“Are MLMs a cult? Multi-Level Marketing schemes like Lularoe, Young Living Essential Oils, Doterra, Kyani, Herbalife, and Amway are scams for sure, but are they cults? Here we cut past the success stories, the testimonies, and the how-to’s in order to analyze these pyramid schemes in light of Steven Hassan’s BITE model. The world of pseudoscience is closely tied to the MLM world, as essential oils, naturopathy, homeopathy, anti-vax / anti-vaxxers, cancer conspiracies, and all kinds of alternative medicine exist in both. Direct sales and network marketing are often little more than alt-med quackery.” |

“Twitter on Thursday said it has “permanently suspended” conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his InfoWars outlet, citing “new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy.” Last month, YouTube, Apple, Facebook and Spotify banned Jones’ main platforms over concerns about his content. But Twitter only suspended some of his privileges, a move that drew criticism. On Wednesday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tussled with Jones after Jones confronted and touched him outside a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. And at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey faced questions amid criticism from Republicans that big tech companies suppress conservatives online. Citation: |

“Actor Burt Reynolds, who starred in films such as “Deliverance,” “Boogie Nights” and “Smokey and the Bandit,” died of cardiac arrest, his longtime agent Todd Eisner tells CNN.”
I think my favorite Burt Reynolds movie, is City Heat. It was just a really fun movie, that also starred Clint Eastwood…and it’s kind of nostalgic for me. I was really sad to get this news, a few hours ago. This is the loss of a huge Hollywood legend. |

01) Act Now to Stop Congress from Expanding “Crime of Violence”
“Tomorrow morning the House is scheduled to vote on H.R. 6691, the “Community Safety and Security Act of 2018.” This would rewrite the definition of a “crime of violence” in the federal code, resulting in nonviolent offenses being labeled as violent offenses.
In addition to this expanded definition, the process to approve H.R. 6691 has been expedited, omitting careful consideration and debate in the House Judiciary Committee.
Contact your House member now and tell them to vote NO on H.R. 6691.
In less than a minute, you can contact your Member of Congress by entering your contact information below and reviewing the correspondence. Hit submit and you’re done! It’s that easy!”
