Being a black Trump republican seems to be more lucrative than being a black anti-Obama republican circa 2009-2015.

According to the National Association of Immigration Judges, the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) sent court employees a link to a blog post from VDare, a white nationalist website, in its morning news briefing earlier this week that included anti-Semitic attacks on judges.The briefings are sent to court employees every weekday and include links to various immigration news items. BuzzFeed News confirmed the link to a blog post was sent to immigration court employees Monday. The post detailed a recent move by the Justice Department to decertify the immigration judges union.A letter Thursday from union chief Ashley Tabaddor to James McHenry, the director of the Justice Department’s EOIR, said the link to the VDare post angered many judges.“The post features links and content that directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs and the label ‘Kritarch.’ The reference to Kritarch in a negative tone is deeply offensive and Anti-Semitic,” wrote Tabaddor. The VDare post includes pictures of judges with the term “kritarch” preceding their names....EOIR Assistant Press Secretary Kathryn Mattingly told BuzzFeed News “the daily EOIR morning news briefings are compiled by a contractor and the blog post should not have been included. The Department of Justice condemns Anti-Semitism in the strongest terms.”A former senior DOJ official said that the email in question was "generated by a third-party vendor that utilizes keyword searches to produce news clippings for staff. It is not reviewed or approved by staff before it is transmitted."
85/ So Byrne's evidence a) is actually new, b) has indicia of reliability, (c) implicates Trump's family in collusion, (d) must now be the subject of new House hearings, and e) isn't evidence we would've expected to hear earlier�as it's in an intelligence report we've never seen.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) August 23, 2019

CONCLUSION/ I wrote such a long thread because this is *confusing* stuff�not because it's fictional, but for the opposite reason: real crimes (at this level and implicating these particular statutes) are messy, confusing, and have many moving parts. It's hard to summarize things.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) August 23, 2019

NOTE5/ I think most reading this know this, but in the event you don't, the CNN report referred to in the first tweet in this thread is the interview that @ChrisCuomo conducted with Patrick Byrne on the former's hour-long CNN program tonight. Byrne also (previously) spoke to FNC.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) August 23, 2019

NOTE3/ Apologies again for the Knoxville/Nashville typo�addressed in Tweet 14�plaguing tweets 0, 12, and 13 due to my affinity for/ties to Knoxville (see Tweet 14). Note also the clarification that the NRA conference could've been either 2015's or 2016's. It's damning either way.— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) August 23, 2019

Some news: the White House has been briefed on a proposal to develop a way to identify early signs of changes in people w mental illness that could lead to violent behavior. The proposal is part a larger initiative to establish a new agency called HARPA > https://t.co/lqWujOYS4i— Jacqueline Alemany (@JaxAlemany) August 22, 2019

Barack Obama does not “direct” any companies. He basically sold Naming Rights so companies can use his name. He has very few speaking engagements, and no one hired him for any real consulting. He’s been hiding ever since he left office. His money is a scandal.
Rep. Seth Moulton is set to end his 2020 presidential bid after failing to gain traction in the polls or with donors.The three-term congressman plans to say in a speech later on Friday that he feels confident that he "raised issues that are vitally important to the American people and our future," and he will pledge to campaign vigorously for the eventual Democratic nominee.
There's actually four Koch brothers...well now three.
To recap: Gabbard has polled at 2% or more in two polls sponsored by the two largest newspapers in two early primary states, but the DNC -- through its mysteriously incoherent selection process -- has determined that these surveys do not count toward her debate eligibility. Without these exclusions, Gabbard would have already qualified. She has polled at 2% or more in two polls officially deemed “qualifying,” and surpassed the 130,000 donor threshold on Aug. 2. While the latter metric would seem more indicative of “grassroots support” -- a formerly obscure Hawaii congresswoman has managed to secure more than 160,000 individual contributions from all 50 states, according to the latest figures from her campaign -- the DNC has declared that it will prioritize polling over donors. In polls with a sample size of just a few hundred people, this means excluding candidates based on what can literally amount to rounding errors: A poll that places a candidate at 1.4% could be considered non-qualifying, but a poll that places a candidate at 1.5% is considered qualifying. Pinning such massive decisions for the trajectory of a campaign on insignificant fractional differences seems wildly arbitrary.
Then there’s the larger issue of how exactly the DNC is gauging grassroots enthusiasm, which was ostensibly supposed to be the principle governing the debate-qualifying process in the first place. Gabbard was the most Googled candidate twice in a row after each previous debate, which at a minimum should indicate that there is substantial interest in her campaign. It’s an imperfect metric -- Google searches and other online criteria could be subject to manipulation -- but then again, the other metrics are also noticeably imperfect. There is no reason why the DNC could not incorporate a range of factors in determining which candidates voters are entitled to hear from on a national stage. For what it’s worth, she also tends to generate anomalously large interest on YouTube and social media, having gained the second-most Twitter followers of any candidate after the most recent debate in July. Again, these are imperfect metrics, but the entire debate-qualifying process is based on imperfect metrics.

Trump just ordered all American companies via Twitter to come back home from China and look for alternatives. All deliveries of Fentanyl (from China and elsewhere) are to be refused by US carriers.

A source close to Kushner said there were “two streams” of people who were in touch with him about Rocky’s case. Scott and Lanier were one, and reality television star Kim Kardashian was the other. Kardashian, an advocate of criminal justice reform, has also visited the White House to push for the release of individual prisoners. The source said Kardashian was urged to advocate for Rocky by her husband, Kanye West, the rapper who controversially declared support for Trump and had an Oval Office visit of his own in late 2018.According to the source, after Kushner heard about Rocky, he “brought it to the president,” who tasked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with taking “the lead” on the issue. However, both Kushner and Trump stayed involved.
Lanier dismissed that argument. “He won the election with 8 percent of the black vote,” he said of Trump. “He doesn’t need black voters or need A$AP Rocky to get black voters. ... He did this because it was the right thing to do.”
Both Lanier and Scott were upset that Rocky never acknowledged the assistance he had gotten. Lanier attributed this to the potential blowback that an African-American celebrity like Rocky could face for embracing Trump.“One of the problems that we have as a culture — and I’m talking about black Americans — is herd mentality,” Lanier said. “Right now it’s popular for those guys to bash President Trump.”The two men said they were left disappointed that Rocky didn’t thank the White House — even behind the scenes.“All he had to do was do a two-minute call to say thank you,” said Scott. “Rocky hasn’t even called us and said, ‘Hey, man, thank you guys. I appreciate it,’ in private. Just in private.”

Thomas Overacker, executive director of cargo and conveyance security for Customs and Border Protection, told Congress in July that his agency is able to inspect only about 2 percent of cars and 16 percent of commercial vehicles that come across ports of entry at the southwest border — another major conduit for fentanyl.
