FBI fires Strzok after anti-Trump texts | 13 Aug 2018 | The FBI has fired Peter Strzok, the counterintelligence agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trump and other political figures during the 2016 election. Strzok's lawyer, Aitan Goelman, confirmed the firing, which took place on Friday. GOP critics say Strzok's texts with then FBI lawyer Lisa Page are clear evidence of anti-Trump bias. They argue the pair's disdain toward Trump may have influenced two of the FBI’s key probes, given Strzok's central role in both the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State and the beginnings of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's election interference.

Trump said in a tweet Saturday that he "may have to get involved," since the FBI isn't providing texts from Andrew McCabe, the agency's former deputy director, to conservative government activist group Judicial Watch.

States fight Trump on non-ObamaCare health plans | 12 Aug 2018 | The Trump administration's new policy of expanding the sale of "short-term" insurance plans as a cheaper alternative to ObamaCare is quickly running into opposition from state regulators. The Department of Health and Human Services is urging states to cooperate with the federal government, but instead, insurance commissioners are panning the new plans as "junk" insurance and state legislatures are putting restrictions on their sales. State insurance officials argue that, despite being less expensive than ObamaCare plans, the short-term plans are bad for consumers and aren't an adequate substitute for comprehensive insurance.

Decision to bring White Helmets to Canada dangerous and criminal | 10 Aug 2018 | Did Canadians get to vote on whether or not to bring potential terrorists or supporters of terrorists to Canada? No. Will Canadians get a say in where these potentially dangerous men will be settled? Highly unlikely. Ninety-eight members of the White Helmets, and a few hundred of their families, were evacuated by Israel and allies to Jordan late in evening of July 21. They will seemingly be shipped off to a few Western nations for resettlement: Canada, the UK, and Germany. So far, Canada has pledged to take 50 White Helmets and around 200 family members. Wrongly dubbed the "Syrian Civil Defense" (the actual Syrian Civil Defense has existed since 1953), the White Helmets narrative is flawed in every conceivable manner. [The White Helmets] are in reality a massively Western-funded organization with salaried volunteers...They contain numerous members who have participated in or supported criminal acts in Syria, including torture, assassinations, beheading, and kidnapping of civilians, as well as inciting Western military intervention in Syria.

Lee Johnson, whose doctors didn't think he'd live long enough to learn the verdict, prevailed Friday in San Francisco state court after jurors deliberated for three days.

Johnson, 46, alleges that heavy contact with the herbicide caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The state Superior Court jury agreed that Roundup contributed to Johnson's cancer and Monsanto should have provided a label warning of the potential health hazard.
