Tomi Lahren "patriotic" yoga wear? Yeah. Made in China!

Conservative TV host Tomi Lahren turns model to sell $90 yoga pants claiming that they embrace true American freedoms despite being 'made in CHINA'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7392903/amp/Conservative-TV-host-Tomi-Lahren-sells-American-freedoms-pants-despite-CHINA.html

One Twitter user Robyn Pennacchia retweeted a conversation about someone selling a separate piece of Alexo Athletica clothing online who quizzed the buyer about the materials used.

The response was: 'It's 95 percent polyester and 5 percent spandex. Made in China though.'

This left many unhappy, with user MurDogg wrote: 'Having a hard time finding where these clothes are made. Looking on the website and can't find "made in USA" anywhere.'

Another added: 'Why is it made in China though? You guys must hate America or this would have been manufactured in MURICAAAAAAA!'

*facepalm* Space Force, newest branch of the military, will launch Aug. 29

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/08/20/space-force-launch-aug-29-vice-president-mike-pence-says/2061062001/

Speaking at Tuesday's meeting of the National Space Council, Vice President Mike Pence and Pentagon officials announced that the newest branch of the military would be established Aug. 29.

The Space Force is being created out of what's now the U.S. Space Command, a division of the Air Force. Air Force general John Raymond has been tapped and confirmed by the Senate as its first leader.

"The United States Space Force will ensure that our nation is prepared to defend our people, defend our interests, and to defend our values in the vast expanse of space and here on Earth with the technologies that will support our common defense for the vast reaches of outer space," Pence said.


They certainly are space cadets....

Any DUers heard *this* one?! Dear gawd!

Under Trump, Witness Protection has been infiltrated by the Russian Mafia
https://thesternfacts.com/under-trump-witness-protection-has-been-infiltrated-by-the-russian-mafia-f6e4825f10a5

In October 2017, Curt Weldon joined the board of advisors for Monarch Air Group, which had just completed its first contract with the Justice Department’s Witness Security Division.

Monarch Air is a known Russian mob front. This is such an open secret that a Conspiracy Theory website made up a story about how Monarch Air worked with the FSB to transport 370 Spetznetz troops to the United States to protect the Trump inauguration.

It was actually somewhat believable given the presence of a South Florida biker gang literally named after the Spetznetz with ties to Trump properties.

Why would the Trump Administrations Department of Justice allow a company that operates as a front for the Russian mob anywhere near the sacred halls of Witness Protection, not once, but twice? What was going on in June 2017 and January 2018 that warranted these contracts?

Is this why Fox News hasn't tweeted in months and months?!?!

Democracy Forward

@DemocracyFwd
NEW: Emails we uncovered show Trump administration officials revising Fox News tweets and Fox News rewriting stories to suit the administration’s whims. That isn’t journalism, it’s propaganda.


https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/youre-man-fox-news-emails-trump-treasury-team-reveal-coziness-1231461

A trove of Treasury Department emails released to the non-profit organization Democracy Forward and provided exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter this week paint a picture of a close, friendly bond between the Trump administration agency and two news organizations, Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

...

On April. 25, 2017, Fox Business Network host David Asman appeared to advise then-Treasury Department spokesman Tony Sayegh (a former Fox News contributor) on how the administration should pursue a key policy goal: achieving a major tax cut. After sharing a quote from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Asman wrote in the email, "Take the BIG TAX CUTS NOW ... a long-term deal with small cuts is useless. NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN WASHINGTON. Big tax cuts now give the economy the push it needs."

After Sayegh thanked Asman for "these thoughts," the Fox Business host congratulated him on his recent Trump administration appointment. "How exciting!" he wrote. "This is a great chapter of your life, Tony. Congrats!" ("Thanks David!" Sayegh responded. "Miss all of you up there.&quot

Four days later, Asman wrote to Sayegh to tell him that a significant block of a Fox Business show would focus on the administration's tax policies. "You'll like it," Asman told him. "Awesome David," Sayegh wrote back. "You're the man."

Ghislaine Maxwell been living in mansion outside Boston??

EXCLUSIVE: Ghislaine Maxwell's respectable new life: Jeffrey Epstein's long-time consort and the alleged procurer of his underage victims has been living with 43-year-old tech CEO at his secluded $3M oceanfront mansion outside of Boston
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7352813/amp/Ghislaine-Maxwell-consort-Jeffrey-Epstein-living-mansion-outside-Boston.html

Ghislaine Maxwell, long-time consort of Jeffrey Epstein and the alleged procurer of victims in his underage sex trafficking ring, has been laying low in a New England beach town, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

Maxwell, 57, is in a relationship with Scott Borgerson, 43, and has been living with him at his secluded oceanfront property at the end of a long private road in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts.

The British socialite has been loath to leave the $3 million mansion, a source told DailyMail.com amid heightened focus on Epstein's alleged co-conspirators following the convicted pedophile's apparent suicide on Saturday.

'She's become a real homebody, rarely ventures out. She's the antithesis of the woman who traveled extensively and partied constantly with Epstein,' said a source familiar with Maxwell's new life.

Could Epstein's death shine light on previously sealed docs?

They didn't pay Microsoft for Office365. They didn't pay Google for the Gmail suite. They didn't pay any other entity to host their email that I can find.
They paid Ron.
Ron's email offering was hosted in Moscow.
Are we ready to put 2 and 2 together? Would be a very concerning 4.
