(Drudge) QUID PRO NO! (The Hill) House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Thursday that acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s comments linked the withholding of aid to Ukraine to investigations into the 2016 election — and have made things "much worse" for the president. BUT SCHIFF DOESN’T KNOW WHAT’S GOOD OR BAD FOR TRUMP! “I think Mr. Mulvaney’s acknowledgment means that things have gone from very, very bad to much, much worse,” Schiff, a key Democrat in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump, told reporters Thursday. BUT IT WASN’T BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE! FAKE!
Mulvaney had earlier indicated that the Trump administration held up military aid to Ukraine in part because officials wanted Kiev to investigate unproven election interference allegations linking the country to a Democratic National Committee (DNC) server. (THAT’S WHY THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION!) “I have news for everybody. Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy ... that’s going to happen. Elections have consequences,” Mulvaney told reporters Thursday, saying “we do that all the time with foreign policy" when asked if a “quid pro quo” was involved in the eventual release of the aid. Mulvaney denied any aid was withheld to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
The comments came the same day that Sondland testified. He was expected to tell members that a text message in which he said Trump “didn’t want a quid pro quo ... didn’t want anything from Ukraine” was dictated by Trump himself. Energy Secretary Rick Perry told The Wall Street Journal this week that he had been told to talk to Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to set up a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and that Giuliani had repeatedly invoked conspiracy theories about the 2016 election and Biden. CONSPIRACY THEORIES, OOOO! IN THEIR MIND THIS IS ALL SOMEHOW SCANDALOUS.
Legal team distances itself from Mulvaney… Trump’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow issued a one-sentence statement that said, “The President’s legal counsel was not involved in acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s press briefing.” But Mulvaney said his comments which included 'Get over it'... were misconstrued. OBVIOUSLY! Trump says he still has “a lot of confidence” in Mulvaney.
NOONAN says: Mood shifts against president… SHE’S A RINO THOUGH.
(Drudge) PEW: 54% SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS… (Pew) 54% approve of House decision to conduct inquiry. THAT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE Fox News and Gallup claimed almost that much wanted Trump REMOVED! Not just investigated! Stay there and fight it out, Trump! ANYWAY… Most Americans have not changed their views on whether the House should conduct impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump since early September, before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would conduct an impeachment inquiry of the president. But about one-in-ten adults (9%) who had opposed the House opening impeachment proceedings last month now approve of the decision to conduct an impeachment inquiry. WHATEVER!
I mentioned yesterday a possible TRIAL BY THANKSGIVING? Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seems to think it may be. Mediaite founder and ABC news legal analyst Dan ABRAMS says that: Jurors Will Be Republican Senators He's Angering Now… over the Syria-Turkey situation. THAT’S OKAY THEY’LL HAVE TO BE ADULTS.
Would Trump quit? One Wall St firm looks at potential… NOPE! THEY’RE TRYING TO PRETEND THE MARKET IMPACT WOULD BE MINIMAL, OH LORD.
TDS SUFFERER Napolitano complains about Trump hosting the G7 summit at a resort he owns, Trump Doral in FL. He calls it: 'As Direct and Profound Violation of Emoluments Clause As One Could Create'... PLEASE!
TOP OF SECOND HOUR NEWS: Friday, October 17, 2019 -
Screenshot from Wash. Post-edited video of Mick Mulvaney’s comments to the press about ordinary diplomacy, which they call “quid pro quo” for political gain.
(Wash. Post analysis shared by SF Gate) Mulvaney's twin admissions put Trump at center of emoluments and Ukraine controversies. (Emoluments means a salary, fee, or profit from employment or office. They’re pretending Trump is trying to profit from the foreign leaders coming to his resort. The foreign Emoluments Clause in the Constitution says: leaders shouldn’t get “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State” — not without consent of Congress.) SO THE FAR-LEFT WASH POST WRITES: First came the lengthy infomercial touting President Donald Trump's private golf resort in Florida as "far and away the best" site in the country to host next year's Group of Seven summit of world leaders. Then, a supposed admission that Trump did, in fact, withhold aid to Ukraine because he wanted the government there to investigate Democrats. DEMOCRATS ARE THE ENEMY OF AMERICA! THEY WERE EXPOSED AS VERY CORRUPT WITH THE DNC SERVER LEAKS!
For 39 minutes Thursday, White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney turned the press briefing room into a sort of confession chamber, openly admitting to several acts that could deepen the legal predicament for the president. Trump is facing an impeachment inquiry into whether he has abused his office for personal and political gain. NOPE, HE’S HELPING THE COUNTRY. WASH. POST IS ABUSING THE TRUTH FOR PERSONAL AND POLITICAL GAIN.
Mulvaney said, "Did [Trump] also mention to me in the past the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely, no question about that. But that's it, and that's why we held up the money." The reference to the supposedly hacked Democratic National Committee's email server elevated a Trump-backed so-called conspiracy theory that Ukraine was involved in election interference in 2016, something U.S. so-called intelligence officials have repeatedly attributed to Russia WITH THEIR UNPROVEN CONSPIRACY THEORIES, WE’VE SEEN NO EVIDENCE!
(Drudge) Mexican govt captured El Chapo’s son -- but a cartel gunman forced his release…! WHAT! (L.A. Times) Mexican security forces captured and then released one of country’s most powerful drug lords Thursday after apparently being overpowered by heavily armed combatants who laid siege to the northern Mexican city of Culiacan. Security Minister Alfonso Durazo told Reuters that officials were trying to protect lives when they decided to free Ovidio Guzman Lopez, a leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel and the son of notorious drug boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Gun battles sweep Culiacan… (AP) — An intense gunfight with heavy weapons and burning vehicles blocking roads paralyzed the capital of Mexico’s Sinaloa state Thursday after security forces located one of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s sons who is wanted in the U.S. on drug trafficking charges. Mexican security secretary Alfonso Durazo said 30 members of the National Guard and army were patrolling in Culiacan when they were fired on from a house. They repelled the attack and inside the house found Ovidio Guzmán López. “With the goal of safeguarding the well-being and tranquility of Culiacan society, officials in the security cabinet decided to suspend the actions,” said Durazo.
Ovidio was not one of the jailed Mexican drug lord’s best-known sons - Iván Archivaldo Guzmán and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán are known as “los Chapitos,” or “the little Chapos,” and are believed to currently run their father’s Sinaloa Cartel together with Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. But Ovidio Guzmán was indicted in 2018 by a grand jury in Washington, along with a fourth brother, for the alleged trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.

(Drudge) China growth slows to a 27-year low… WOW, they need to make a deal with America! (Sky News) The world's second-largest economy grows at its weakest pace in decades, blaming "complicated and severe economic conditions". The trade war with the US has hit the Chinese economy, with China's imports down in September for a fifth consecutive month and exports also down.
Although tensions have eased slightly with the announcement of the first phase of a deal a week ago and the suspension of a planned tariff hike, little has changed for now.
(Drudge) Two Americans detained… in China! (AFP via Yahoo News) - Two Americans from an English-teaching business in China have been detained and bailed in the east of the country on suspicion of "organising others to illegally cross the border," the foreign ministry said Thursday. Alyssa Petersen and Jacob Harlan, a father of five, were taken into custody in Jiangsu province on September 27 and 29 and then released on bail, said foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang. Their Idaho-based company China Horizons, which arranges for Americans to teach English in Chinese schools, said in a post on its Facebook page on Saturday that the charges were "bogus".
China Horizons said on Facebook that "their families are working on getting them international lawyers to help them get back home to the States." Harlan, the founder of China Horizons, was being held in a hotel under police surveillance in the city of Zhenjiang, according to a separate gofundme.com page set up for his legal fees. Police detained him while he was with his eight-year-old daughter at a hotel in Weifang, Shandong province, on September 28 and took away his phone and computer, according to the post. His daughter was finally allowed to briefly call her mother, and she later took an international flight with a family friend.
Harlan frequently travels from the United States to China to help teachers in the China Horizons programme, according to the company's website. Petersen, who is the assistant director of China Horizons, was detained around September 27 and was not heard from for two weeks until the State Department located her, according to her gofundme.com page.
(Drudge) Extreme Police Brutality Documented… NO SUCH THING AS POLICE BRUTALITY! But… (Breitbart) A Hong Kong group called Netizens Organizing Police Abuse Investigation Data (NOPAID) this week published an extensive report on the excessive use of force by police against protesters. They want reforms of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). They complain there’s not enough independent oversight of the police.
They have photos and videos documenting reported police abuses, that supposedly broke statutory guidelines on the use of police force, obstructed journalists, hindered medical assistance to the injured, or was conducted without the police displaying a proper warrant.
NOPAID also noted when the police treated Hong Kong citizens rudely, which they once had a good reputation for avoiding thanks to a strict code of conduct.
The archive of “evidence” in the report runs back to June 10 and currently fills about 250 pages of Google Documents. NOPAID argued the conduct of the police during the current crisis has “severely shaken the foundation of the rule of law, and eroded the public confidence in the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ principle and the Basic Law.” I’M NOT SURE I BUY THAT, THE PROTESTORS WERE THROWING BRICKS AND SWINGING STICKS AT THE COPS.
Drudge shares a WSJ article asking: Did a Muslim Slave Make Your Chinese Shirt? U.S. Customs and Border Protection accuses Hetian Taida Apparel Co. in China’s Xinjiang province of using forced or prison labor, and last month the agency banned U.S. imports of the company’s garments. China, the world’s largest cotton producer, has built the world’s largest prison system to provide the labor needed to sustain cotton production. This cotton gulag, AS WSJ CALLS IT, is primarily based in Xinjiang, home to most of China’s Uighurs and other Muslim ethnic groups.

I saw more footage and Kathy Griffin is still a liar.
MINOR CLARIFICATION: I saw the original fight scene from Kingsman: The Secret Service with Colin Firth. In that movie that character does swing an ax at a woman. But the moment was apparently CUT from the edited scene that shows Trump and the liberals. So she falsely stated that she’s shown being “murdered.”
DNC Leaks - see no evil
Wasn’t the DNC Leaks from Wikileaks showing how corrupt the media and Democrats are? How did they turn it around to make everybody pretend Russia was so influential? They don’t see Trump’s wisdom and power. They think Trump supporters are as idiotic as Democrat supporters and RINOs.

Earl from Michigan wonders what more JLP needs? He called Jesse’s show earlier and Jesse hung up but James doesn’t recall. Earl says James is scared and that he has to go around defending Jesse. James hits Earl with a “baby Farrakhan” and that makes him chuckle a bit. Earl moves on to the Fort Worth shooting. Earl also has issues with Mulvaney’s comments. James admits he’s a fool for Trump. Earl can’t find peace and lists off things he has issues with including the famous swamp Trump said he would get rid of.
Samuel from Sweden calls in talking about the women having the first all-female spacewalk. Samuel made a comment at work about the story after everyone was praising these women. He was reprimanded at work and told to treat women equally. It’s clear as day to Samuel; men have made women their Gods.
Russ from Virginia has heard Jesse say that black people want free stuff so he wonders if James thinks the same and if he considers a black man that collects disability such as himself to be someone that just “wants free stuff.” Take it if you need it says James just try to rehabilitate because those kinds of things spoil you.
Scott from Chicago wants James take on the headlines “Trump Impeach Blockade is Falling Apart.” James knows what that headline means, they are just referring to backstabbers that are talking. Scott is outraged considering the Ukraine transcript was already released. Scott is sure that the Democrats are just going crazy trying to cover up for the criminals in their own camp.
Daniel from Phoenix wants to comment on what JLP touched on about being mindful. Daniel remarks on the New Age people and how they take prayer and take out God and turn it into yoga or meditation. He touches on these four young guys that showed up to his workplace and he describes them as a “microcosm of today’s America.”
Maze from Dayton, OH fires back at James saying “I don’t care if you call me negro.” Maze also fires back at a viewer, Blaze n’ Hawgs who asked Maze to spell Caucasian, and so she does.
Hack Cummings
I want to point out very clearly: Elijah Cummings “passionately” spoke out against the investigation into Obama’s Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi failure. He protected evil Hillary. Everybody knows she’s evil. Pro-abortion. Lying. Feminist. Horrible at foreign policy. Co-founder of ISIS. Fake with the blacks. Pandering. Evil. BUT, Elijah Cummings endlessly went after Trump.
He was a partisan hack, and he was partisan for evil. The evil party is the Democrats, and unfortunately most of the good party has nobody good for the most part. Except Trump, Jesse, Allen West, Joe Arpaio,
Syria - Democrats are just as bad as RINOs
(Drudge) Erdogan threw Trump's Syria letter in trash… (BBC) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump's letter "in the bin", the BBC has been told. In the letter dated 9 October, and sent after US troops were pulled out of Syria, Mr Trump told Mr Erdogan: "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!" I’D THROW THAT AWAY TOO! President Trump was urging Turkey not to launch a military offensive against Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria, but Mr Erdogan ignored this request. US Vice President Mike Pence is now in Ankara to push for a ceasefire. WHICH I THINK THEY GOT BUT DUNNO IF EVERYONE IS COMPLYING. The US has faced intense criticism for the withdrawal of troops, which critics say gave Turkey the green light to launch the military attack. SO WHAT! In recent years, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance has SUPPOSEDLY been a critical ally to the US in the fight against the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria. SOME PROBABLY HELPED OUT.
In his letter to President Erdogan, Mr Trump wrote: "Let's work out a good deal! You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy - and I will. History will look upon you favourably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen. Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool! I will call you later." SOOO, "President Erdogan received the letter, thoroughly rejected it and put it in the bin." LOL
In a rare bipartisan (RINO) rebuke, 129 members of the president's Republican Party in the House of Representatives joined Democrats to formally denounce Trump’s move in a vote on Wednesday. The joint resolution also called on President Erdogan to immediately cease military operations against Kurdish-led forces, and was voted in by 354-60.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also held an apparently explosive meeting with President Trump on the issue, which led to her and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer walking out of the room. Republican leaders said Ms Pelosi's behaviour was "unbecoming", and criticised her for "storming out". Ms Pelosi and Mr Trump also each accused the other of having a "meltdown", with the president later tweeting a photo of their confrontation. The image has been praised by Democrats (kissing up to women), who said it was "iconic" and showed Ms Pelosi's "finest moment". Ms Pelosi made the photo her top image on Twitter. Trump also tweeted the photo saying: “Nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown!” DON’T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEAD, LIBERAL WOMAN.
Earlier on Wednesday, President Trump said the US should not be intervening in Turkey's military operation in Syria because it is "not our border", and called the former US allies the Kurds "no angels". "They have a problem at a border," he told reporters at the White House. "It's not our border. We shouldn't be losing lives over it." The president also said he thought the situation on the Turkey-Syria border was "strategically brilliant" for the US. "Our soldiers are out of there. Our soldiers are totally safe. They've got to work it out. Maybe they can do it without fighting," he said. On the Kurds, he added: "They fought with us. We made a lot of money for them to fight with us, and that's okay. They did well when they fought with us. They didn't do so well when they didn't fight with us."

(Drudge) '5 Day Ceasefire'... (Daily Mail) Donald Trump hails five-day ceasefire deal in Syria as 'a great day for civilization' and boasts of 'incredible outcome' claiming 'great leader' Erdogan and the Kurds are happy - but Turkey hits back that they have only agreed to a PAUSE
Vice President Mike Pence announced the United States and Turkey have reached a deal to suspend Ankara's operations in northern Syria for five days
'It's really a great day for civilization,' Trump said of the agreement
Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spent more than four hours meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in order to get a deal
Ceasefire will reportedly last for 120 hours to allow a withdrawal
Turkey will also get a 20 mile buffer on its border that Kurds much avoid
Kurds were not part of the negotiations but Pence said they signed on
'They couldn't get it without a little rough love,' Trump said of the agreement. 'This is an incredible outcome'
But Turkish officials downplayed agreement and said it's 'not a ceasefire'
