Boston mob boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, 89, was murdered by a fellow inmate with ties to the mafia in a West Virginia federal prison shortly after he was transferred there. According to one congressman, Mueller and those serving under him in the FBI aided Bulger in eliminating mob competitors and recently Mueller turned over an alleged scheme to pay off women to fabricate sexual assault allegations against him to the FBI.

The murder occurred outside of the field of vision of security cameras where Bulger was beaten with a lock in a sock and had his eyes gouged out.

The Daily Mail reports on law enforcement sources that confirmed that Bulger was about to out FBI officials of the informant program.

If congressional legislators are committed to letting out transnational drug traffickers from prison next week, can they at least give pain patients consuming prescription drugs some relief too?

One could not possibly conceive of a more perverse, unjust, and counterintuitive policy than what government is doing with drug traffickers and pain patients. The federal and state governments are inviting in criminal alien drug traffickers, protecting them with sanctuary cities, releasing hardened traffickers of illicit drugs from prison, and then attacking doctors and pain patients who prescribe and consume legitimate pain medication. It’s immoral, it’s built upon a lie, and it’s time for it to end.

"Almost every part of President’s life under investigation… Threatens to dominate third year in office"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Investigations now entangle Donald Trump’s White House, campaign, transition, inauguration, charity and business. For Trump, the political, the personal and the deeply personal are all under examination.

Less than two years into Trump’s presidency, his business associates, political advisers and family members are being probed, along with the practices of his late father. On Saturday, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke became the fourth Cabinet member to leave under an ethical cloud, having sparked 17 investigations into his actions on the job, by one watchdog’s count.

All of this with the first special counsel investigation against a president in 20 years hanging over Trump’s head, spinning out charges and strong-arming guilty pleas from underlings while keeping in suspense whether the president — “Individual 1” in prosecutor Robert Mueller’s coded legalese — will end up accused of criminal behavior himself.

"Forensic Investigators Reveal Clinton Foundation Should Have Been Registered as Foreign Agent"

By Jim E |

Céline Dion has denied trying to shift gender norms with her controversial children’s clothing line.

The Célinununu range, a collaboration with Nununu, is a new gender-neutral line that supposedly ‘liberates children from the traditional roles of boy/girl, and enables younger people to grow on values of equality with the freedom to strengthen their own power of personality based on mutual respect’.

Skulls, stars and crosses feature heavily in the largely monochromatic range, as do baggy trousers and oversized tops.

Its launch last month was promoted by a bizarre commercial in which Dion can be seen blowing black glitter into the air in a neonatal unit, at which point the babies’ clothing is transformed from the traditional blue and pink into black and white.

We are each entitled to our own personal world view.

Unfortunately, when it comes to interpreting information and making objective sense of reality, human brains are hard-wired to make all kinds of mental mistakes that can impact our ability to make rational judgments.

In total, there are 180+ cognitive biases that mess with how we process data, think critically, and perceive reality.
Flawed Human Reasoning

There is no simple way to get around these basic human instincts, but one thing that we can do is understand the specific mistakes we make and why.

Today’s infographic comes to us from School of Thought, a non-profit dedicated to spreading critical thinking. The graphic describes 24 of the key biases that warp our sense of reality, providing useful examples along the way.

"“I Know Where All The Bodies Are Buried”: Clinton Foundation CFO Spills Beans To Investigators"

The CFO of the Clinton Foundation, thinking he was “meeting an old professional acquaintance,” admitted to investigators that the charity had widespread problems with governance, accounting and conflicts of interest, and that Bill Clinton has been commingling business and personal expenses for a long time, reports The Hill‘s John Solomon.

.....Kessel told MDA “There is no controlling Bill Clinton. He does whatever he wants and runs up incredible expenses with foundation funds, according to MDA’s account of the interview. “Bill Clinton mixes and matches his personal business with that of the foundation. Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him.”

You Won’t Believe What This World Leader Said
By Clarion Project

When a world leader speaks candidly — especially with issues having to do with Islamism — do we judge him based on the truth of his words or if his words are politically correct?

Speaking at the World Youth Forum held in Egypt last month, Egypt’s President Adbul Fattah el-Sisi participated in a session where he answered questions from the floor.

The following is an extremely candid answer from el-Sisi to the question: Why are world leaders closing their doors to immigration?

His answer speaks volumes to the problems of the growth of Islamism in the West and the lack of integration by Islamist immigrants in Western countries.
