CD6 = Strange bedfellows indeed.
Personally I would rather have to fend off the Trump endorsement over the Ralph Reed one.
The NYT reported that Trump’s son-in-law advisor Jared Kushner personally asked Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson to reduce the price of a radar system so that Saudi Arabia could afford to include it in an arms deal.
That news followed Bloomberg reporting that the Saudis had invested $20-billion in a U.S. infrastructure fund managed by Balckstone Group LP, soon after Kushner personally negotiated the $110-billion arms sale to the country. For those that don’t know, Blackstone is a Kushner family business banker. Blackstone has loaned more than $400 million to finance four Kushner Co deals — two of which have not been reported.
We now can surmise why Trump said of the trip “I think we hit a home run.”, when our NATO allies thought very little of the trip.

Mayor asks for censure of 6th District Alderman Tony Thomas… For calling a reporter a bad word. In the past 2 years, he has been investigated for ‘misbehaver’ with a minor, so drunk the city could not legally allow him on the ST. Pat float (before 10:00 AM), harassing citizen through Facebook, and a whole load of other publically noted and recorded events, and now the Mayor finally thinks about censure…
couldn’t believe what he called that reporter, but
until this recent episode, a lot of what tony’s accused of would
not be easy to make an issue of before the whole council.
this was caught on tape and was not as easy to laugh of as being drunk on st patricks day
Im hard pressed to believe he will actually be censured. If he has been able to get away with everything else that he has done, which are just as egregious in my opinion, why is this time going to be any different.
admittedly i was only half listening, but if i heard correctly on the news last night the law or ordinance that exists to allow a censure vote for the savannah city council has only existed since 2015…
Hannity fights back against efforts by Soros group to get him fired. Good for him! “What’s good for the goose…”
