The War Crimes Testimony Of Karen Bass

Karen Bass lies into the public record.

Karen Bass has promulgated the residuals of the peculiar institution by covering up the trafficking of tiny humans through her work in Foster Care and Adoption.

Since Karen Bass wants to claim the legacy of the Congressional Black Caucus as its principle, then she should be the one to tell the world about what they do on their servers, when it comes to trafficking tiny humans through Foster Care and Adoption.

Karen Bass was mean to my Sweetie.

Congress Must Do The Math On Foster Care

U.S. Representative Karen Bass recently commented on the Republican proposed cuts to foster care.  For more clarification, that would be cutting Title IV of the Social Security Act Chapters A, B, D, E and Medicaid Targeted Case Management.

As no specifics were presented in her statements and I have not taken the time to review the proposed cuts, I shall approach this quagmire in a general sense.

Foster care sucks.

Foster care is an entitlement program meaning eligibility is based on a state judicial determination measuring the poverty means test criteria for qualification of funding under Title IV-A standards.  Simply put, you have to be poor to qualify under abuse and neglect determination, wherefore, poverty, itself, is determined as abuse and neglect.

So here we have it.  If you cannot provide for the necessary needs of your child, then the state, funded through "foster care" will take parental responsibility of providing for your child.

Again, foster care sucks.

So, here is the logic.  If the nation is moving to gut all social assistance to the people and it has been demonstrated that the more that is gutted from infrastructure the more it leads to cognitive, emotional, physical and psychological developmental disabilities.  We are now going into the third generation of the deterioration of human capital and the industry of foster care is suppose to be the answer to this.

Now the question is begged, "How can these disabled individuals become productive members of society without governmental assistance?"  Future cheap labor.

Who will acquire this future cheap labor?  Corporations in quasi-governmental partnerships with the States to bill Social Security as a labor subsidy, or corporate welfare.  Why, because the greatest of nations have been built off the backs of the weakest in society.

Michigan has already taken policy action as the Madame Maura Corrigan is always ahead of the game.

The nation onto the third generation of the model of creating this cheap labor in order to compete with the emerging markets of a global economy has created obstacles and barriers, complete with extremely high tolls of interest payments, whereby higher and even quality education becomes impossible to achieve, furthering the agenda of cheap labor.  Innovation and creativity are not an option.

To balance out this argument, let us now look at the other facets.  Foster care sucks.  Just watch the video.


Billions of dollars are falsely claimed by child welfare organizations which are never questioned or punished, all in the name of God, where children are guaranteed a life of hell under state care and the campaign and lobbying pockets are lined with this foster care entitlement money which will never reach a child in need.

It costs tens of thousands to process a child through foster care.  It costs a few hundred to let them stay at home.  You do the math.

Democratic Rep: GOP Asking Students To Accept Doubled Rates Or ‘Forego Your Cancer Screenings’

Democratic Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) appeared on MSNBC on Tuesday where she said that Democrats opposed making cuts in programs like food stamps and the 2010 health care reform law in order to pay for programs that PresidentObama is proposing. Bass said that such cuts would be counterproductive in the long run because programs like food stamps creates “money that goes directly to small business” and stimulates the economy. Bass also said that the Republican compromise on freezing student loan rates amounts to asking students to either accept doubling rates or “forego your cancer screenings.”

When you’re talking about cutting ‘Meals on Wheels,’ when you’re talking about cutting food stamps, which actually is money that goes directly to small business – markets in communities – versus giving tax subsidies to farming corporations. These are the kinds of cuts that the Republicans are talking about, and I think that is completely unacceptable in this time period.

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts asked Bass how she would defend criticism that Democrats are criticizing the Republican budget plan while not having even proposed one of their own.

“I do think that the Democrats have been very responsible,” responded Bass. “The President has put forward a budget that certainly I support.” She said that Democrats are willing to cut portions of the budget, but would only do so as long as it is part of a “balanced approach.”

On March 28, a version of Obama’s proposed budget was brought to the House floor that was defeated 414-0. Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) brought a version of the Obama budget to the House floor for a vote to show how few votes such a proposal would receive. Bass would eventually alsovote against a Republican budget which passed the House on March 29 by 228 – 191 votes.

Bass went on to say that she is wearing a blue ribbon in honor of “foster month,” and to raise awareness the Republicans are seeking to cut funding from foster care programs as well. “Cutting money to fosters on foster care month? Can’t go with that,” said Bass.

Roberts concluded by asking about the proposed freeze in student loan interest rates. Republicans have agreed to freeze loan interest rates if portions of the health care reform bill are struck as a means of paying for that compromise. Bass said that Democrats oppose this compromise.

“I think it’s completely unacceptable to tell the youth of our country that if you don’t want your student loans to double, than you need to forego your cancer screenings,” said Bass.

CONYERS v. TRUMP: DOJ Files To Certify Dismissal Of Case Violating Foreign Emolument Clause

The following is from the 9-28-2018 Order:

Accordingly, the Court finds that plaintiffs have standing to sue the President for allegedly violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause. The Court therefore DENIES IN PART the motion to dismiss and DEFERS ruling on the remaining arguments in the motion to dismiss.

The Foreign Emoluments Clause provides: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State. U.S Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8.  

DOJ motioned 10-22-2018 to certify the interlocutory appeal to "advance termination of the litigation" based on "difference of opinions".

The timing is impeccable considering that the DOJ OIG report has yet to be released and the 2018 General Election is 11-06-2018, which would be facts, not opinions.

The docket, complaint, motion and order are below.

SCOTUS is in play and so is John Conyers, Jr., because he was never removed as a party.

Nip It In The Bud: DOJ Moves To Fast Track Appeal In Trump Emoluments Case

Justice Department attorneys want to give one of the myriad lawsuits accusing President Trump of violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause a quick death.

In a court filing late Monday, DOJ attorneys sought permission to appeal immediately a September ruling that found nearly 200 members of Congress do have standing to sue Trump for violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause.

Government attorneys argue that allowing the appeal would “materially advance the termination of this litigation.”

“If the D.C. Circuit decides the issue in the President’s favor, this case would be dismissed, thereby avoiding the need to address Plaintiffs’ novel Foreign Emoluments Clause claim and preserving both the Court’s and the parties’ resources,” attorneys from the Justice Department’s civil division write in the filing.

U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan of Washington, D.C., ruled in late September that members of Congress have standing to sue Trump over the alleged emoluments violation. The members argue in their lawsuit that Trump’s receipt of gifts – through his self-branded hotel chain, foreign intellectual property rights, and The Apprentice TV licensing fees – constitute foreign governmental gifts that should be subject to congressional approval under the Constitution.

Andy Grewal, a law professor at the University of Iowa, said that “judges grant these types of requests if they can in fact speed up the end of the litigation.”

“The idea is that if you resolve this one issue, this will end quickly,” he said. “And that’s a reason to grant the request.”

Sullivan’s September ruling only rejected half of an attempt by the Trump Administration to quash the lawsuit. The judge did not rule on the other half – on whether Trump-owned companies taking money from foreign governments counts as an emolument.

Regardless, the government slammed Sullivan’s ruling as “in substantial tension” with legal precedent.

“Congress can still vote on whether to consent or to withhold consent to the President’s alleged acceptance of foreign emoluments,” government attorneys argue. “If the President’s past alleged violations cannot be adequately remedied by congressional action now, it is not clear how this Court would be in a better position to provide a remedy.”

Since Sullivan’s ruling only concerned standing and came at an early stage in the court case, the government needs permission to file an immediate appeal.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and then-Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-MI) filed the lawsuit in June 2017, along with 194 other Democratic members of Congress.

The suit alleges that foreign governments have used Trump’s businesses to exercise influence on the executive branch. It specifically cites instances like the granting of foreign patents to Trump-owned businesses and foreign diplomats renting Trump hotel rooms en masse as examples of emoluments that were accepted without congressional approval.

“Because [Trump] has failed to come to Congress and seek its consent for at least some foreign emoluments that have been the subject of public reporting, it is impossible to know whether Defendant has also accepted, or plans to accept, other foreign emoluments that have not yet been made public,” the members alleged in the lawsuit, adding that Trump’s acceptance of the gifts had “thwarted the transparency that the ‘Consent of Congress’ provision was designed to provide.”

JUDICIARY: AAG Matt Whitaker Meets The "Legal Geniuses" Of The U.S. House Judiciary Committee - We Are Almost In Detroit

John Conyers, Jr. sees and hears everything!

For your historic pleasure, in the spirit of fuchsia, I have provided my "Colored" commentary, because I am quite sure there are going to be numerous media outlets, political scholars, and "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) out there who are going to claim they know everything about everything that has gone on in this hearing.

Here, is almost, but not quite, everything you want to know about Matt Whitaker.

Why are some of the members so contentious and way outside the scope of the hearing?

Well, it is because the U.S. House Judiciary Committee is under the purview of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Yes, boys and girls, that is correct.

Judiciary was mean to my Sweetie.

That was not very nice because it gave me Saddy face, right Perry?

But, have no fear, there is always the original plan...by the original source.

It is just a shame that the Members of the Committee did not take the time to address the items of the national agenda that Trump outlined in his State of the Union 2019 speech.

• child trafficking;
• child sex trafficking;
• human trafficking;
• women trafficking;
• drug trafficking;
• slavery;
• civil rights;
• jobs;
• justice;
• peace.

But, then again, when you are facing prosecution of war crimes, you tend to forget about the children.

#perkinscoiesucks

STATEMENT OF MATTHEW G. WHI... by on Scribd

The following is my "Colored" Commentary of the Oversight of the U.S. Department of Justice Hearing, where I have extracted my comments in conversation for a more pleasurable experience, via the castigation of the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed.

Yes, this is about Detroit.

Perry put this hearing together because I smell the fear.

Collins just put forth a motion to dismiss the hearing.

10 - 12 motion to adjourn does not pass.

Nadler is trying to find out if he is part of the Special Investigation!


Matt just smashed Nadler when asked for the umpthenth time of what the special counsel investigation was about. He said "I believe your 5 minutes are up".

A bit of fun you can take with you. Look at the portraits in chambers on the wall. Who are they?

Lofgren asked if his views were based on conversations with the Trump Administration. Whitaker said his comments on the special investigations were made before, as a private citizen.

"In your capacity as Acting Attorney General, have you ever been asked to approve any request or action to be taken by the special counsel?" House Judiciary Chair Nadler asks.

"Mr. Chairman, I see that your five minutes is up," Acting AG Whitaker answers. https://t.co/Ukgp5FywxQ pic.twitter.com/y4e9gkQeTh

Chabot said "Conyers" and mentioned their work on the opioid crisis.

Whitaker is trolling Her Flatulent Boviness. CoS physically stood up behind her. They are terrified.

The Her Flatulent Boviness (Sheila Jackson Lee) tried to as Whitaker about his background in Voting Rights cases. Her time expired. She was trying to get into the Russian Interference. Instead, he said voting fraud, which is his investigation of Detroit.

Cohen is about to break down in tears trying to get Whitaker to say this is a russian investigation. This is so romantic.

If anyone runs across any articles or *youtubers/investigative jounalists* running their own analysis, please drop the links so I can put them on the list.

Deutch asked about the interview to become CoS. This is going to be relevant to other CoS.

Karen Bass asked about Whitaker's background with FACT. Collins challenged that it was outside the scope of the hearing. Nadler was forced to take a vote. They tabled the issue. Karen Bass is the head of the Foster Care Caucus. Need I say more? Bass is going after FACT because she is part of CREW. I told you, Melanie Sloane is coming back.

Nadler: "we taking a 5 minute recess for lunch". Whitaker: "only 5 minutes for lunch"? <=== I need a meme.

McClinton tried to compare the Stone raid and Medenez case arrest procedure. Whitaker said there are ongoing investigations. FBI will brief in closed session,

Cedric Richmond is throwing the Civil Rights Act creation of the DOJ. Yes, who was behind creating the DOJ. #sayhisname

Richmond is standing up for the "Colored" Revolution. He is throwing the race card. DUCK!

Lesko (cannot see her name she is new) is asking about coming together. She is asking about the new infantcide laws. DOJ is looking into it. She is talking about infant mortality.

Jefferies tried to rip Whitaker about responding to a statement and a question. Now Jefferies is throwing out numbers on indictments, pleas, sentencing. He is bringing up Wikileaks, Stone, Manafort, Flynn, Cohen.

Cicilline is asking about Presidential privilege. They keep harping on if Whitaker talked to Trump or his legal team about the Mueller investigation. If Cicilline was part of this group, or just read my cases, or signed up for my blog, he would know.

Reschenthaler raised good questions in the scope of the hearing, appropriate questions.

Swawell asked if Mueller was honest and conflicted because Trump said he was running a witchhunt. He wants Whitaker to repeat his "terms and words" to the president. That was a cute set up for a violation of law.

Armstrong is asking about the First Step Act. He asked commended the pretrial release program and asked to work with DOJ for a Second Step Act.

Armstrong asked about universal understanding of "gross negligence" even under the Espionage Act.

You do know, there is a strong possibility that when they take a break, walking into the back office, they are on the phone, calling #perkinscoiesucks . There is also a distinct possibility that, due to the investigation on Judiciary, that everything has been wired up.

Raskin. Oooo, he read Whitaker's wikipedia page!

Raskin is getting fiesty! Smells like fear. Israel?

Whitaker tries to run out the clock instead of answering @JacksonLeeTX18's extremely straightforward question about if he's testified during an oversight hearing before.

"Mr attorney general, we are not joking here and your humor is not acceptable," she admonishes him. pic.twitter.com/LP0aaikYre

Jayapal is lying. She keeps talking about the leaked draft immigration family separation policy memo. That is a lie. The States take over. Bethany Christian. Michigan. Where is Betsy DeVos. She is using a fake memo to attack Whitaker.

The States hand out the contracts to private corporations. Jayapal has said absolutely nothing about foster care and adoption. They do not even track in the U.S.

Demmings asked about private conversations with Trump about Cohen or, District of Virginia and SDNY personel.

She is getting on him about drugs coming in from the border or ports of entry.

Correa is on white supremist out numbering islamic extremist attacks.

Scanlon is getting hard on undocumented immigrants but he cannot comment due to ongoing litigation. She is clarifying. Garcia is asking about Zero Tolerance policy. Whitaker said Sessions implemented it. These people refuse to say foster care and adoption. The states take those kids. Michigan has the national contract. No one is even mentioning termination of parental…See More

She asked about dropping the ACA litigation. Why? He cannot discuss that. That is the decision of the president.

Neguse is asking about medical cannibis research. Whitaker said there are international treaty challenges.

He asked about confidential communications with the president. He is asking about RR being next in line to be appointed. Sessions resigned. Sessions was not fired.

https://beverlytran.blogspot.com/search?q=jeff+sessions+ballad&fbclid=IwAR2pQAQ8BtQf1YfLKFQ6NLF72cEa4SkaMoZ6ObcRIOLwbTIsgFXTk50HGJY#axzz5egWbwTZU

McBath is asking about the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression, and evidence. The 2016 election had a VRA complaint filed before the election. Grand Juries were called before the election, in Detroit, which threw the state, which threw the entire general election.

Stanton asked about the Religious Liberty Task Force. Sessions set it up. Whitaker has said he would follow up.

Stanton brought up foster care and discriminating against a jewish adopter by a contracted agency.

Dean is asking about his private life statements on the Mueller investigation.

The Committee is setting up for impeachment hearings, from both sides of the aisle.

Mucarsal-Powell must be new because she is not very versed on 501c3s. I am calling it out now. They are prohibiting 501c3s from engaging in political activities. They are going to file charges. This is #perkinscoiesucks set up because the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) are behind the development of line of questioning.

They are going to throw Mucarsel-Powell under the bus. She is reading "their" questions under the guise that she is going to rise as a power star. I can spot grooming a thousand miles away.

Escobar is trying very nicely to tell Whitaker how to answer. She is not his legal counsel. She is new and was set up to get thrown under the bus. She dropped dead kids. Yes, she brought up the 2 kids who died at the border but refuses to speak upon the fact that congress makes law, not DOJ.

Only Congress makes law, not the Attorney General.

You would think the members of House Judiciary would know this by now.
