No Steele, no reason for an investigation, and, there is no Steele !!!!!

WASHINGTON, Oct 4 (Reuters) - The special counsel investigating whether Russia tried to sway the 2016 U.S. election has taken over FBI inquiries into a former British spy's dossier of allegations of Russian financial and personal links to President Donald Trump's campaign and associates, sources familiar with the inquiry told Reuters.
A report compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele identified Russian businessmen and others whom U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded are Russian intelligence officers or working on behalf of the Russian government.

Editor's note: Here is the problem with the above Rueter's "report." Without confirmation, the Steele Dossier, is nothing but a propaganda hit piece designed to trash Trump on behalf of Hillary Clinton. None of the content of the Dossier can be confirmed per the report filed by the Senate committee chairmen leading the partisan investigation. We were told by this committee that the Brit who compiled the Dossier has refused any and all comment. He has never been interviewed and refuses to do so. And yet, this piece of junk mail is the center piece in the sham investigation currently under way. Who gives a rip whether Mueller is also investigating the Dossier? Without Steele, the conclusions of Mueller will be just as meaningless as the Senate's report of Wednesday, Oct. 4th.

Understand that the committee Chair told reporters, yesterday, that they had exhausted all known leads, that they had spent 250 hours doing so, and that they had come up with nothing new. All conclusions announced by committee leadership, were conclusions known for months, prior to yesterday's presser. But they are going to keep the investigation open just in case something critical comes to light.

What a waste of time and money. The fact of the matter is this: The impetus for Congressional investigation was the Steele Dossier, and, it is admittedly worthless without Steele's testimony.

In short, "they" have nothing, which is exactly what they had, 18 months ago. Did Russia try to influence our elections? Of course it did. Just ask Barack Hussein. He and his State Department knew this 21 months ago, and, refused to share this information with election authorities in the 21 states potentially affected by Russian efforts. Did Trump have anything to do with this meddling? Absolutely not. Case closed. Dems (and GOP lackeys) prove themselves to be fools, and, life moves on.

Here is some truth about automatic weaponry before the Left Out Ones get too many lies "out there."

Sean Davis / The Federalist:
Here Are The Actual Federal Laws Regulating Machine Guns In The U.S.

Reports, like those from ABC reporter Terry Moran, that machine guns are perfectly legal in Nevada and other states are highly misleading. Federal law, after all, pre-empts state law. In fact, under Nevada state law, NFA items are only legal if they have been legally obtained and registered under federal law. You can’t just waltz into the state with an unregistered machine gun and expect to walk around scot-free. This is the case in all states which allow possession of NFA items. Legal federal ownership is a prerequisite in every case. If the NFA item is not owned, registered, and stamped in compliance with federal laws and regulations, then the item is illegal under state law.

In conclusion, fully automatic weapons are highly regulated under both federal and state law. Only licensed entities are permitted to manufacture, sell, or own them. Private civilian ownership of machine guns is illegal unless the individual has been explicitly permitted by the federal ATF to own them. All fully automatic weapons must be registered with the federal government in a central registry with no exceptions. A special tax is levied on all NFA items (machine guns, suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and destructive devices) with no exceptions.

Trump owns 534 companies world wide. Of course he did business in Russia. So did the Clintons, only we call that "pay for play."

Washington Post: Trump's company had more contact with Russia during campaign, according to documents turned over to investigators

He was still only a businessman running for high office and all of it was about business. Beats having an Alinsky commie as president, but hey, that's just me.

Megan Amram, who is she . . . . . . . . . exactly my point.

Comedy writer Megan Amram jokes Las Vegas shooter fits typical profile because he is a ‘white man’

Honestly, where would we be without the white man? Answer: Its called "The Third World."

I am not for censorship, but maybe for a short period of time, it is a good thing:

Las Vegas concert shooting prompts ESPN to change its mind about airing national anthem

Fox Sports already made the decision. Sometimes censorship is a good thing.

Sometimes, even the Left Out Ones go too far:

Smartass comments sometimes gets you . . .

the big downside of American freedom is . . . .

Bill O'Reilly / No Spin News:

Mass Murder in Las Vegas — Once again, the big downside of American freedom is on gruesome display. A psychotic gunman in Las Vegas has committed the worst mass murder in U. S. history. — 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, who lived in Nevada, began firing from a hotel window about 10pm Pacific time last night.

Editor: Look, I do not care for O'Reilly. Got tired of his self-serving brand of "no spin." But, he is dead right on this one. America has an ugly downside so we all work to improve what the Founders gave us, and all benefit. Las Vegas painfully reminds us that we all live in a broken broken world.

Good cannot exist apart from evil. Just as "heads" on a nickle has a backside, so too is good with a back side of evil. God made the good; evil came attached.

There is no such thing as "heaven on earth," Nirvana, or the innate goodness of man (an Obama silliness) . . . . . no such thing and never will be. So stop whining and get on with your better-than-the-rest-of-the-world, life.

Don't you love the geniuses calling themselves "reporters?"

Sex change regret: Gender reversal surgery is on the rise, so why aren't we talking about it?

Around five years ago, Professor Miroslav Djordjevic, the world-leading genital reconstructive surgeon, received a visit at his Belgrade clinic: a transgender person who had undergone surgery at different clinic to remove male genitalia - and since changed their mind.
That was the first time Prof Djordjevic had ever been contacted to perform a so-called gender reassignment “reversal” surgery. Over the next six months, another six people also approached him, similarly wanting to reverse their procedures. They came from countries all over the western world, Britain included, united by an acute sense of regret.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
