[Mis]Statement from Vice President Mike Pence

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-vice-president-mike-pence-4/

Statement from Vice President Mike Pence
Issued on: April 18, 2019

Today’s release of the Special Counsel’s report confirms what the President and I have said since day one: there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and there was no obstruction of justice.

After two years of investigation, conducted with the full cooperation of this Administration, that involved hundreds of witness interviews and millions of pages of documents, the American people can see for themselves: no collusion, no obstruction.

Now that the Special Counsel investigation is completed, the American people have a right to know whether the initial investigation was in keeping with long-standing Justice Department standards — or even lawful at all. We must never allow our justice system to be exploited in pursuit of a political agenda.

While many Democrats will cling to discredited allegations, the American people can be confident President Trump and I will continue to focus where we always have, on advancing an agenda that’s making our nation stronger, safer, and more secure.

CHARLESTON — Officials with teachers' and service personnel unions have called for a statewide strike starting Tuesday in response to the controversial education reform bill currently before the West Virginia Legislature.

The strike was called following proposed amendments in the Senate to the House version of the bill that would increase the number of charter schools and reimplement a provision on education savings accounts that would allow 1,000 accounts for students with special needs.

MF-45 Building His Wall

January 10, 2019

It's bake sale time!!

I remember the saying:
"It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber."

Let's fund health care and education. MF-45 can hold bake sales to build his MF'ing barrier.

We will stop them: Power and Glory by Phil Ochs

Come and take a walk with me thru this green and growing land
Walk thru the meadows and the mountains and the sand
Walk thru the valleys and the rivers and the plains
Walk thru the sun and walk thru the rain
Here is a land full of power and glory
Beauty that words cannot recall
Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom
Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)
From Colorado, Kansas, and the Carolinas too
Virginia and Alaska, from the old to the new
Texas and Ohio and the California shore
Tell me, who could ask for more?
Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of her poor
Only as free as the padlocked prison door
Only as strong as our love for this land
Only as tall as we stand
But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate
They twist away our freedom & they twist away our fate
Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry
We can stop them if we try
Songwriters: Phil Ochs
