How Mitch McConnell’s Betrayal Will Help Destroy the Nation

by Michael Goodwin

 Et tu, Mitch McConnell?

Just when Washington has a chance to turn the page, fresh signs emerged Tuesday that the past is not yet past. It is almost certain now that the Senate will hold an impeachment trial of President Trump next week.

Even worse, it looks probable he will be convicted of a single charge stemming from the Capitol invasion. 

The history-making event got the green light from McConnell on his last day as Senate majority leader. 

Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday, McConnell said of the Jan. 6 incident: “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”

The comments build on earlier reports that McConnell was glad House Democrats were impeaching the president and that he might vote for conviction. The speech signals he is likely a yes vote, which would open the GOP floodgates and yield at least the 67 Senate votes needed for conviction.

He spoke as reports circulated that Speaker Nancy Pelosi would transmit the House charge to the Senate later this week, with a trial to follow.

Eli Weinstein of Lakewood, Sholom Weiss of Boro Park Pardoned

President Trump on Tuesday granted clemency to 143 people, including well-connected celebrities and nonviolent drug offenders – but did not preemptively pardon himself or his family.

Two of those pardoned of most interest to the Jewish community are Eli Weinstein of Lakewood, and Sholom Weiss formerly of Boro Park. Weiss was the recipient of what is believed to be the longest-ever white-collar prison sentence – more than 800 years in prison in 2000. Trump did not pardon Former NY State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.

In a statement, the Trump Administration said:

Eliyahu Weinstein – President Trump commuted the sentence of Eliyahu Weinstein.

Upon his release, he will have strong support from his community and members of his faith.

Shalom Weiss – President Trump commuted the sentence of Shalom Weiss. This commutation is supported by former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, former Solicitors General Ken Starr and Seth Waxman, former United States Representative Bob Barr, numerous members of the New York legislature, notable legal figures such as Professor Alan Dershowitz and Jay Sekulow, former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman, and various other former elected officials.

A mom has wowed hundreds after sharing a simple iPhone hack that allows you to scan documents straight onto your phone without downloading any new apps.

The woman Brandi Mumma's post was shared on Facebook, where countless phone owners said they didn't know how to scan apps on their iPhone 'until today'.

'Did you know, if you have an iPhone or iPad you actually have a scanner,' Brandi Mumma wrote.

'Parents, if you are planning to scan any work to your teachers or teachers if you are scanning work to your students you can use the "Notes" app.'

To try the trick for yourself, she said you simply need to open a new Note, press the camera button at the bottom of the screen and the 'option to scan the document will pop up'.

'Once the document is scanned, you can email it easier than a photo, plus you can add notes to the scanned document,' Brandi Mumma said.

Hundreds who saw her post said they 'never knew this' and thanked the mother for the 'game-changing' piece of advice.

'Omg! It took me 43 years to learn this,' one woman wrote.

'I actually regularly use CamScanner on my iPhone for business as I wasn't aware of this function. Thanks for enlightening me, will try it today.'  

Another said: 'Oh my goodness! I was going to Officeworks to buy a scanner today! Thank you'.

Hillary Clinton Losing it ......suggests Trump was 'talking to Vladimir Putin on the day of Capitol riot'

 Hillary Clinton has suggested President Trump was 'talking to Vladimir Putin on the day of the Capitol riot' and said she would 'love to see his phone records'.  

In a conversation with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on her podcast 'You and Me Both', Clinton said she would be interested in obtaining Trump's phone records to see whether he was on the phone to Putin while the Capitol was under siege.

Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, said that it was clear that her former rival has a 'disdain for democracy', but that its true depths may never be known.

She claimed that the president had 'other agendas' while in the White House, and said she hopes that one day it will become clear who Trump was 'beholden to' and who 'pulls his strings'. 

We learned a lot about our system of government over the last four years with a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas,' Clinton said. 

'What they all are, I don't think we yet know. I hope historically we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol. 

'But we now know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy.'

Blind Man Regains Sight Thanks To Israeli Startup’s Synthetic Cornea

 

A 78-year-old man who has been blind in both eyes for 10 years has regained his sight after receiving the first implant of an artificial cornea developed by Israeli startup CorNeat, the company announced Monday.

The CorNeat KPro implant is designed to replace deformed, scarred or opacified corneas, and it integrates with the eye wall with no reliance on donor tissue.

Professor Irit Bahar, head of the Ophthalmology Department at Rabin Medical Center (formerly Beilinson Hospital) in Petah Tikva, performed the procedure.

Once the bandages were removed, the patient was able to recognize family members and read text.

New Squad member Cori Bush Sides With the Murderers

 

The Black Beauty Cori "I love killers" Bush 

Rep. Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist turned member of Congress as of earlier this month, was a welcomed addition to the Squad, the small but influential group of Democratic radicals in Congress led by Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

And in keeping with the ultra-progressive thinking of the Squad – especially on the criminal justice system – the Missouri Democrat looked at the Trump administration’s recent execution of convicted murderers and opted to side with … the killers.

Early Saturday in Indiana, the government put to death Dustin Higgs, the last of a baker’s dozen, to see their sentences fulfilled under President Donald Trump. News reports noted the federal government put more Death Row inmates to death under Trump than it had in the previous 56 years.

On Saturday night, Bush – an advocate of defunding the police and abolishing the death penalty – tweeted:

 “The 13 people murdered by Trump’s death row killing spree: Daniel Lee, Wesley Purkey, Dustin Honken, Lezmond Mitchell, Keith Nelson, William LeCroy Jr., Christopher Vialva, Orlando Hall, Brandon Bernard, Alfred Bourgeois, Lisa Montgomery, Corey Johnson, Dustin Higgs. Say their names.”

Rep. Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist turned member of Congress as of earlier this month, was a welcomed addition to the Squad, the small but influential group of Democratic radicals in Congress led by Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

Conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby tweeted to Bush in reply: 

“Not one was murdered. Each was convicted unanimously of 1st-degree murder & sentenced to death by a jury. Each had extensive due process of law, including years of legal appeals. The names you should say are those of their victims. Do you know — or care — who those victims were?”

Jerry Dunleavy, a reporter for the Washington Examiner, also wrote on Twitter, 

“How about we say the names of their victims too? For instance, Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered William & Nancy Mueller & her 8-year-old daughter, Sarah Powell, by shooting them w/ a stun gun, duct-taping plastic bags around their heads, & drowning them in a bayou.”

Twitter user Hawkus Aurelius did just that, replying to Bush with a tweet containing the names of 20 of the victims of some of the inmates who were put to death.
