Green Party's Jill Stein Says She'll Happily Testify About Her Support For Putin's Ideas

Politico writes that the Green Party candidate has no regrets, even as she's coming into the spotlight over questions about her own presence at Putin's Mike Flynn table at the RT dinner.

Congressional Dems want to talk to her as well, and given the insidious level of lies and treachery in the 2016 Congressional election -- and the Russians' co-opting Berners on social media -- we want to know why she was celebrating RT, owned by the Russian govt. Was she paid as Flynn was?

For the Congressional investigation to be valid, all stones must be unturned. That includes Stein and anyone else involved with the Russians, no matter what party.

Stein can shrug it off all she wants. Stein is a traitor to us -- not for Hillary, but for Trump. Only a truly narcissistic personality could sleep at night over her actions, after Hillary won the primary. ~ Anne

Trump Courts 'USA Freedom Kids,' Then Crushes Them With Broken Promises

The “USA Freedom Kids,” a caught my eye at a Trump rally last summer and became an instant sensation. True, their perky, cheerleader enthusiasm seemed a bit out of sync with the quasi-fascistic undertones of their lyrics (such as “Deal from strength or get crushed every time”). "Jeff Popick, the group’s (adult) manager, told Claire Landsbaum he was attracted to Trump not only for reasons of customer synergy but also personal conviction — “[Trump] knows what he's doing, and he makes the right decisions,” Popick explained."

You’ll never guess what happened next. Trump lived up to his reputation. “My whole life I’ve been greedy, greedy, greedy. I’ve grabbed all the money I could get,” the Republican candidate said at a debate last year. “I’m so greedy. But now I want to be greedy for the United States.” Because for Trump, greed is good . . . the best form of winning.

Yes, the kids got stiffed, reports Philip Bump. The USA Kids were told they could have a free table to sell CDs instead of the $2,500 fee, and they accepted the deal. No such table was provided, according to Popick. When they were asked to fly to Iowa to support veterans at a Trump rally, not only were they not paid, but Trump stiffed the kids on the cost of their travel.

Nice guy, this man who wants to make America great again.

African American Heavyweights Rep. Jim Clyburn, Clyburn Women & Morgan Freeman Embrace Hillary

US Rep Jim Clyburn, the third most powerful Democrat in Washington, acknowledged the influence of his wife and daughters in his decision to endorse presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ahead of the South Carolina's Feb. 27 primary. The females in Clyburn's family are all in for Hillary. 

Previously, Clyburn has remained neutral with endorsements until after the primary, although he tangled with an angry Bill Clinton in 2008 over what the highly-regarded politician perceived as use of racially-tinged comments from the former president in the 2008 battle between now president Obama and Hillary Clinton. 

Clyburn joins his close friend Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, who has also endorsed HIllary Clinton and her commitment to the African American community since the days of America's civil rights movement. 

Jim and Emily Clyburn have three daughters, Mignon, Jennifer Reed, and Angela Hannibal; two sons-in-law, Walter Reed and Cecil Hannibal; and three grandchildren, Walter A Clyburn Reed, Sydney Alexis Reed, and Layla Joann Clyburn Hannibal. Speaking yesterday about his decision to support Hillary Clinton, Clyburn explained that the women in his family pressed him very hard to put his heart and head out there in a public embrace for Clinton. 

Clyburn's daughter Mignon is a Commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, nominated by President Barack Obama, nominated in June 2009 and sworn in on August 2009. Jennifer Clyburn Reed, Ed.E is a professional educator in Columbia, South Carolina. Angela Clyburn Hannibal is an assistant program coordinator at Benedict College in Columbia. 

Previously this month, Hillary Clinton received the endorsement of the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, and yesterday actor Morgan Freeman endorsed Hillary and released a very special campaign ad. 

Morgan Freeman for Hillary

“Her life’s work has been about breaking barriers and so would her presidency, which is why for every American who’s not being paid what they’re worth, who’s being held back by student debt or a system tilted against them, and there are far too many of you, she understands that our country can’t reach its potential unless we all do," Freeman explains in the ad, which the Clinton campaign confirmed as new. "Together. A stronger country.”

Freeman was candid about his unflinching support for Clinton, telling CNN's Don Lemon that he has absolutely no trust issues with Clinton. 

"Not with me, she doesn't," Freeman said in an interview that aired Friday on "CNN Tonight." "I can't say that she doesn't, because all you need in some cases for people is to say it. Just put it out there and it gets legs. The Clintons have been being beat down ever since way back, so she just was going along with that legacy that she's inherited over the amount of time she's been in politics, which is a long time."

Freeman added, "I think this is just made-up stuff, just, you know, it's political hogwash."
