Juanita Broaddrick - Holy Shit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Sen. Hawley SKEWERS Sec. of Energy, Jennifer Granholm for perjuring herself in previous testimony. ENJOY !!!!

Biden Energy Secretary Granholm admits false testimony about owning stocks
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted in a letter Friday that she made a false statement when she recently told lawmakers she didn't own any individual stocks.
While Granholm divested from a variety of stocks in 2021, she acknowledged in the letter — which was sent to Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee leadership — that she maintained shares of six companies. On April 20, however, Granholm testified under oath that she had sold all of her shares of individual companies.
"As you know, as part of the confirmation process before this Committee, in 2021 I divested from assets that could be in conflict with my official duties," Granholm wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News Digital. "I did, however, retain assets that were determined by Government ethics officials to not conflict with my official duties."
"I mistakenly told the Committee that I did not own any individual stocks, whereas I should have said that I did not own any conflicting stocks. In order to make my financial holdings consistent with my testimony, on May 18, 2023, I divested my remaining stock holdings which consisted of stock in six companies, even though these assets were deemed non-conflicting," she continued.
Granholm didn't say in the letter which companies she had owned shares of — and which she divested from on May 18 — but vowed to share that information in her Annual Public Financial Disclosure Report in mid-June.
In addition, Granholm said she discovered on May 13 that her husband Daniel Mulhern owned $2,457.89 worth of shares in Ford Motor Company. Those shares were then sold on May 15, a Monday, when the stock market opened.
Granholm acknowledged she hadn't disclosed those shares in her two prior Public Financial Disclosure Reports and had mistakenly believed her family's divestiture of Ford was complete in early 2021. The Ford stock she and her husband held in their retirement accounts had been sold off on March 22, 2021, she said.
"As a public servant, I take very seriously the commitment to hold myself to the highest ethical standards, and I regret the accidental omission of my spouse’s interest in Ford," Granholm added in the letter. "This is a commitment I made to you, the President, and most importantly the American people."
"My spouse and I have double-checked our financial assets, and there are no other reportable assets that were omitted from my financial disclosure report," she concluded.
In response to the letter, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member John Barrasso, R-Wyo., criticized Granholm.
"Secretary Granholm lied to the committee about her family’s stock holdings," Barrasso said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This comes after her failure to follow basic ethics and disclosure rules. This is a troubling pattern. It is unacceptable."
Granholm noted that all of her transactions listed in the letter would be disclosed on a Public Financial Disclosure Periodic Transaction Report in July.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, an Energy Department spokesperson said Granholm remained committed to "the highest ethical standards."
"The Secretary takes the commitment to uphold the highest ethical standards very seriously, which is why, upon realizing a comment made in error, the Secretary moved quickly to divest non-conflicting assets along with an asset held by her spouse of which she was previously unaware," the spokesperson said.
"The letter submitted to Congress clarifying the record underscores the Secretary’s commitment to transparency and to leading a DOE that puts the interests of the American people above all else."
E&E News first reported the letter.

illuminatibot - Disney and Epstein connections

Disney has long been considered the kids' brand -- the company of cartoons, family-friendly films and theme park extravaganzas.
But one thing the House of Mouse has yet to offer is comment on a much-less savory issue involving children -- a scandal in its subsidiary news division surrounding a spiked story on the now-deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Project Veritas, whose controversial founder, James O'Keefe, has described himself as a “guerrilla journalist,” published footage Tuesday that included Amy Robach, an anchor for Disney-owned ABC News, claiming on a hot mic that higher-ups at her network killed a story that would have exposed Epstein back in 2015.
Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor told Fox News, “Walt Disney built the most famously family-friendly company in history,” which made ABC killing the Epstein story that much worse.
ABC NEWS' AMY ROBACH CAUGHT ON HOT MIC SAYING NETWORK SPIKED JEFFREY EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL
https://www.foxnews.com/media/....abc-amy-robach-jeffr
“To think that a division of that company wouldn't go out of its way to defend children from a monster is appalling,” Gainor told Fox News. “Even more, journalism is supposed to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. ABC protected the comfortable from his victims.”
Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cornell Law professor and media critic Williams Jacobson told Fox News that Disney “needs a full investigation about ABC News' actions in spiking a story about a politically well-connected pedophile.”
Robach called her hot-mic episode a “private moment of frustration,” and ABC News defended the decision to spike the story, saying it wasn’t up to network standards. Robach had spoken with a woman who claimed Epstein paid her for sex when she was underage and pimped her out to a member of the royal family,

https://www.foxnews.com/media/....abc-epstein-cnn-main
NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News that the optics for ABC and Disney couldn't be any worse.
“Not only did they quash what would have been a huge story and thus threw basic journalistic ethics out the window, the alleged crimes were as heinous as one could get, aside from murder,” Houck said. “Disney has a mess on their hands.”
Project Veritas, which has framed itself as a conservative whistleblower watchdog group, previously released what it claimed to be hidden camera footage of network news producers, federal politicians and members of private political organizations making statements while unaware they were being recorded.
ABC News downplayed the significance of the Project Veritas video. “At the time, not all of our reporting met our standards to air, but we have never stopped investigating the story. Ever since, we’ve had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it," an ABC News spokesperson told Fox News. "That work has led to a two-hour documentary and six-part podcast that will air in the new year.”

Meltdown is a four-part investigation into a world of greed and recklessness that brought down the financial world. The show begins with the 2008 crash that pushed 30 million people into unemployment, brought countries to the edge of insolvency and turned the clock back to 1929.
But how did it all go so wrong? Lack of government regulation; easy lending in the US housing market meant anyone could qualify for a home loan with no government regulations in place. Also, London was competing with New York as the banking capital of the world. Gordon Brown, the British finance minister at the time, introduced "light touch regulation" - giving bankers a free hand in the marketplace.
Meltdown moves on to examine the epidemic of fear that caused the world's banks to stop lending and how the people began their fight back. Finally, it asks how the world can prepare for the next crisis even as it recognises that this one is far from over.
We hear about the sheikh who says the crash never happened; a Wall Street king charged with fraud; a congresswoman who wants to jail the bankers; and the world leaders who want a re-think of capitalism.

Cool comment encapsulations our current condition:

‘I don’t want to rattle the kids’: The moment George W Bush learned 9/11 had happened
George W Bush’s reaction – or lack thereof – upon learning that terrorists were attacking the United States is now infamous. But even though it was caught on video, most Americans didn’t see it until years later.
On that September morning, the relatively new president was at a photo-op with first-graders at a school in Florida, participating in a reading exercise called The Pet Goat (often erroneously referred to as “My Pet Goat”).
Before Mr Bush entered the classroom, he was told that a plane had crashed into one of the Twin Towers – although at this point many believed it was an accident. As Mr Bush listened to the children read, an aide whispered in his ear that the second tower had been hit. It was now clear that the country was under attack.
Mr Bush did not, at this point, leap up and take command of the situation. Instead, he stayed in his seat and finished the reading exercise, sitting there for seven minutes. Then he spent some time complimenting the children on their reading skills and took some photos with them and their teachers. When a reporter asked if he’d heard about the attacks, he replied, “I’ll talk about it later”.
Three years later, this muted reaction became a liability for Mr Bush when Michael Moore included it in his 2004 documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11. After years of being presented to the public as a strong, decisive leader, the footage of Mr Bush sitting inertly with schoolchildren as Americans were being massacred was a major embarrassment.
“Not knowing what to do, with no one telling him what to do, and no Secret Service rushing in to take him to safety, Mr Bush just sat there,” Mr Moore said in his withering narration.
Even after his presidency, the former president and his team have tried to dispel this narrative. Mr Bush himself has said he stayed with the children to show strength.
“I didn’t want to rattle the kids,” he said. “I wanted to project a sense of calm.”
The White House press secretary at the time, Ari Fleischer, insisted in 2016 that after leaving the school, away from the cameras, Mr Bush was full of resolve and bravado. In allegedly contemporaneous notes that Mr Fleischer says he hid in a bank vault, Mr Bush was recorded saying things like “We’re going to get the b******s” and “Somebody’s going to pay”.
One person who did take command of the situation, meanwhile, was then-vice president Dick Cheney. In recent years, research has shown that Mr Cheney spent the day of the attacks in a bunker below the White House, making calls and telling other officials what to do.
The Atlantic has reported that one of his first calls was to Mr Bush, who he told not to return to Washington (in order to avoid leaving both leaders vulnerable to the same attack). He also, astonishingly, ordered the Air Force to shoot down a suspicious passenger plane headed toward DC. (Mr Cheney has said he cleared this order with Mr Bush first, but according to The Atlantic, evidence shows the order came before the permission.) That order, fortunately, never made its way to any fighter pilots.
Three days later, with more time to prepare, Mr Bush famously spoke through a bullhorn atop the rubble of the World Trade Center. Standing in plainclothes among firefighters and first responders, the president projected the kind of take-charge machismo he had lacked on the day of the attacks.
“I can hear you!” he told the crowd, which couldn’t hear him through the bullhorn. “The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.”
For years, that was the image that many Americans had of Mr Bush after 9/11 – decisive, resolute, brave. Pundits spoke ad nauseam about his “resolve”. Even though video footage of it existed, almost no one saw Mr Bush’s in-the-moment reaction to the terrorist attacks.
Then Fahrenheit 9/11 came along. In the years since then, despite all the efforts at historical revision, the image of this commander-in-chief that sticks out in many American minds is of him sitting in that Florida classroom, reading with children about a goat.

Chicago’s migrant crisis in spotlight as Democrats prepare for convention
The buses full of migrants arriving from Texas have disappeared. But the tensions in Chicago over how to handle thousands of newcomers are still evident.

CHICAGO — The buses full of migrants arriving from Texas have disappeared. Shelter beds are increasingly empty. And homeless newcomers with nowhere else to go are no longer crowding airports and police stations.
But as Democrats prepare to gather in Chicago, the strain of taking in tens of thousands of new arrivals bused in from the border in recent years is still evident and will be difficult for Vice President Kamala Harris to escape as she accepts her party’s nomination for president.
Immigration activists are expected to protest the Biden administration’s new measures restricting how many people can enter and apply for asylum. The city is facing criticism after clearing several homeless encampments ahead of the Democratic National Convention. And tensions persist among local Democrats over how much the city has had to spend on the newcomers in the absence of more federal dollars.
4.1 million migrants
The Washington Post analyzed more than 4.1 million U.S. immigration court records from the past decade to find out where migrants come from and where they live once they arrive in the country.
The friction here reflects a broader struggle in the Democratic Party over how to deal with immigration. While Harris is expected to emphasize border security and highlight the declining number of illegal border crossings, other members of her party are upset at what they see as the Biden administration’s increasingly heavy-handed approach.
“The Democrats have every incentive to get these intraparty debates off center stage,” said John Sides, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University. But he noted party leaders can’t prevent protesters from raising immigration concerns. “What goes on in the streets outside is a different story.”
Chicago became a ground zero for the migration crisis two years ago, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) started busing migrants north as part of a program relocating them to sanctuary cities. Chicago has received more than 46,000 new arrivals since August 2022, most of those arriving...

Meaning Of “Blinded By The Light” By Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
By Liam Flynn
December 19, 2023
It is quite unusual for a cover of a song to become a larger hit than its original. But it is not impossible. The British rock band, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, managed to accomplish this feat in the 1970s with Blinded By The Light.
The track, originally written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen, was released on his Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. album from 1973. Manfred Mann had bought this album based on a recommendation by a local disc jockey from Philadelphia. He was one of a modest number of people who had bought the album as that was before Springsteen made it big with the mega-hit album Born To Run in 1975.
Meaning of Blinded By The Light Song Lyrics
According to Springsteen, the song was written when he looked through a rhyming dictionary and searched for appropriate lyrical wording. Blinded By The Light is about the ups and downs of a young musician’s life. However, the message always subtly reflects that the downs are the source of the struggles that bring talented musicians to the pinnacle of success.
Its music track is high-energy, and the lyrics talk about the thrill and hope only found in adolescence. Blinded By The Light reflects the invincibility of a youthful attitude that is filled with immeasurable hope and optimism that, in life, anything is possible.
The lyrics are reminiscent of an early Bruce Springsteen, the days when he was just beginning his career. In doing so, he had the good fortune of meeting unique and interesting characters when introducing his music across the Jersey Shore and the local music markets of Philadelphia and New York City.
The first line of the song, “Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat” is likely an autobiographical reference:
“Madman drummers” refer to a drummer, Vini Lopez, who had several nicknames, including Mad Man and Mad Dog.
“Indians in the summer” pertains to the Little League Team of Springsteen.
“Teenage Diplomat” is a reference to Springsteen himself.
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin’ kinda older I tripped the Merry-go-round
The first line is a reference, according to his Aunt Dora Kirby, to the fact that Springsteen refused to take off his baseball hat.
A “merry-go-round” refers to baseball slang in which the pitcher consistently walks batters.
The song continues, adding other unrelated events, such as the beginning of verse 4:
Some silicone sister with her manager’s mister told me I got what it takes
She said I’ll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break
Blinded by the Light Lyric Controversy
When Manfred Mann’s Earth Band covered this Springsteen tune, the track became a super hit, despite the fact that the revised Blinded By The Light meaning was draped in controversy.
Springsteen originally wrote:
And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce
Another runner in the night
These were changed to:
Well she was blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Note that the word ‘deuce’ references a 1932 Ford Model 18 with a V-8 engine, often called a Deuce Coupe, a two-seater hot-rod car, by automobile collectors and enthusiasts.
The controversy surrounded the fact that fans of the song notoriously misheard the lyrics, believing the “Wrapped up like a deuce” line sounded like “Wrapped up like a douche,” which references a feminine hygiene product.
Note that Mann wanted Springsteen to contribute to the record by singing the last part of the song. He even tried to reach out and ask him directly, avoiding the lengthy manager or publisher route.
But in the end, he sang the part he hoped Springsteen would have sung. Ironically, this part of the track is apparently the only time Mann’s voice can be heard on the recording of Blinded By The Light.
Blinded By The Light: Life as a Hit Record
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s cover of Blinded By The Light climbed slowly and steadily on the British rock charts but was outperformed in the United States. Its success was in spite (or perhaps because of) the attention the lyric controversy created.
In 1977, the cover by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band hit no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It also reached the top ten in Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Mann, when attempting to explain the source of the controversy, notes that the recording machine’s azimuth (something about how the tape head angles on the recording tape) created a sound that many believed were the word ‘deuce,’ ‘douche,’ and even, ‘dooce.’
And just like that, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s no.1 song hit a controversial road bump. Quickly, radio stations from the southern parts of the United States (a.k.a., the Bible Belt) complained they couldn’t play the song on air because it sounded like the lyrics include words about a vaginal douche.
The irony of the lyric controversy was not lost on Mann or Springsteen.
What Makes a Great Song Cover?
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s cover of the song Blinded By The Light is likely to be more well-known than the original recording by its songwriter.
Perhaps, it was the band’s unique style and sound that created the difference, although Springsteen’s raw, brilliant lyrics and vision remain at the core.
What makes a great cover song is the talent that shines through. Both Springsteen and Mann are distinct and hugely talented musicians, with each of their versions completely unique and terrific musical compositions.
Blinded By The Light is pure evidence that a cover can rise to the level of the original if done with a balanced blend of creativity and a healthy respect for the songwriter’s original ideas.

"The `Iddah (the 3 month waiting period) is made up of cleanliness and
the menstrual period. So he divorces her while it is clear that she is
pregnant, or he does not due to having sex, or since he does not know if
she is pregnant or not. This is why the scholars said that there are
two types of divorce, one that conforms to the Sunnah and another
innovated. The divorce that conforms to the Sunnah is one where the
husband pronounces one divorce to his wife when she is not having her
menses and without having had sexual intercourse with her after the
menses ended. One could divorce his wife when it is clear that she is
pregnant. As for the innovated divorce, it occurs when one divorces his
wife when she is having her menses, or after the menses ends, has sexual
intercourse with her and then divorces her, even though he does not
know if she became pregnant or not. There is a third type of divorce,
which is neither a Sunnah nor an innovation where one divorces a young wife who has not begun to have menses, the wife who is beyond the age of having menses, and divorcing one's wife before the marriage was consummated.
