“How About Pardoning Someone Alive?” Base Upset Trump Pardoned Susan B. Anthony Instead of Assange, Snowden or Flynn

President Trump is facing criticism from his own base after pardoning long-dead Susan B. Anthony instead of pardoning Julian Assange , Edward Snowden or his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn .
Many of the president supporters said that while the Anthony pardon was still noble , he had built up the pardon to sound like he was giving it to someone alive who ’ s still fighting in the geopolitical arena .

This is the big pardon?! I mean…it’s great. But I don’t think anyone thinks of Susan B. Anthony as a criminal at this point. Hell, I didn’t even know she had a conviction.

Millions of Renters Face Eviction

Tiana Caldwell of Kansas City , Missouri , is one of approximately 40 million Americans who are in danger of being evicted from their homes by the end of the year ; a direct result of the economic slowdown and massive job losses caused by the coronavirus outbreak , according to a national housing group .
Caldwell lost her job and was in treatment for ovarian cancer when she and her family were evicted — in 2019 .
“ We had gotten back on our feet , we were doing good , and then I got cancer … again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ So , I was actively in treatment when we were being evicted .
… It was a bad experience.
” Now , unemployed and barely able to pay rent , Caldwell is organizing protests with KC Tenants , a group advocating for affordable housing in Kansas City , Missouri .
The National Low Income Housing Coalition , which earlier this month announced that 30-40 million Americans face eviction in the coming months , is a group that focuses on low-income housing policy and trends , and analyzes data to create a forecast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. Like most of the country , Missouri was already experiencing an affordable housing crisis when the pandemic hit .
Currently , nearly 50 % of renters in the state are at risk of eviction because they can ’ t pay their rent , KC Tenants Director Tara Raghuvee told VOA via Zoom .
“ There were already tens of thousands of renters in the state of Missouri who were paying over 50 % of their income to rent before the pandemic , and now…hundreds of thousands are unemployed or have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the debt that has amounted in the meantime for a lot of poor and working class families is simply insurmountable , ” Raghuvee said .
Many Americans have been receiving financial assistance through state and federal unemployment benefits .

Suburban Americans are showing up to beat down the Antifa myth .

Tiana Caldwell of Kansas City, Missouri, is one of approximately 40 million Americans who are in danger of being evicted from their homes by the end of the year; a direct result of the economic slowdown and massive job losses caused by the coronavirus outbreak, according to a national housing group.
Caldwell lost her job and was in treatment for ovarian cancer when she and her family were evicted — in 2019.
“We had gotten back on our feet, we were doing good, and then I got cancer … again,” she told VOA via Zoom. “So, I was actively in treatment when we were being evicted. … It was a bad experience.”
Now, unemployed and barely able to pay rent, Caldwell is organizing protests with KC Tenants, a group advocating for affordable housing in Kansas City, Missouri.
Facing eviction
The National Low Income Housing Coalition, which earlier this month announced that 30-40 million Americans face eviction in the coming months, is a group that focuses on low-income housing policy and trends, and analyzes data to create a forecast for the needs of low-income housing across the U.S.
Like most of the country, Missouri was already experiencing an affordable housing crisis when the pandemic hit.
Currently, nearly 50% of renters in the state are at risk of eviction because they can’t pay their rent, KC Tenants Director Tara Raghuvee told VOA via Zoom.
“There were already tens of thousands of renters in the state of Missouri who were paying over 50% of their income to rent before the pandemic, and now…hundreds of thousands are unemployed or have been unemployed through some period of this pandemic, and the debt that has amounted in the meantime for a lot of poor and working class families is simply insurmountable,” Raghuvee said.
Federal assistance
Many Americans have been receiving financial assistance through state and federal unemployment benefits. But the supplemental federal assistance of $600 a week lapsed in late July, putting millions in jeopardy of not being able to pay their rent.
“So people are about to be in the depths of a crisis unlike anything we’ve seen before,” Raghuveer said.
Housing rights advocates are calling for rent relief and an extension on eviction moratoriums, an issue that was recently addressed by President Donald Trump.
“I’m signing an executive order directing the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HHS (Health and Human Services) and CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to make sure renters and homeowners can stay in their homes,” he announced during a press conference from his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, August 8.
But attorney Gina Chiala says there is no eviction moratorium to be found in the order.
Chiala heads the Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom, which provides legal advice about housing to low-wage workers in Kansas City, Missouri.
“Most of the people we represent who are facing eviction do make less than $15 an hour, and so this is a problem that preceded the pandemic,” she told VOA via Zoom. “And now it’s only going to get worse, and we must all come together and fight for Congress to do something about this, not just to stem the bleeding now, but to permanently fix both our wage problem and our housing problem.”
Compassion versus commerce
Chiala and other affordable-housing advocates are calling on the federal government to implement long-term policy initiatives to tackle the low-wage and affordable housing problems.
In the meantime, they are encouraging landlords to work with their tenants and negotiate whenever possible.
But with 40% of the nation’s rental units owned by mom-and-pop landlords, many cannot absorb the losses from unpaid rent.
Tracey Benson is president and founder of the National Association of Independent Landlords. Founded in 1998, the association provides help and support to its 200,000 members nationwide.
“It’s unprecedented times right now for our association, because we’re getting constant calls by worried landlords that are worried about losing not only their rental homes, but also their (own) homes,” she told VOA via Zoom.
Association member Kathy Phillips, a landlord in North Carolina, owns 10 rental properties that she depends on as her only source of income. One of her tenants has been falling behind on the rent.
“She has rented from me for six years and has always been a good tenant,” Phillips said. “She’s a single parent and I don’t feel comfortable evicting a single parent in this climate of COVID.” COVID-19 is the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Phillips offered her at-risk tenant 50% off her rent for three months and doesn’t expect her to repay the difference.
“She’s looking very desperately for a job and we’re hoping she’ll get a job in those three months. … If I don’t have the rental income, then I can’t pay my bills.”
Federal relief
And while moratoriums and rent relief would help tenants in the short term, many say what’s needed is implementation by the federal government.
Phillips also said she believes the federal government needs to do more for both tenants and landlords.
“I don’t think there’s a lot of answers until we have income for all these unemployed people. It would be nice to have some sort of help from the government for the landlords, but right now there’s not, and you’ve got to be empathetic.”
Caldwell, of Kansas City, would agree. While she was able to make her August rent, she is fearful about the future.
She said having been evicted twice “felt like a personal attack.”
“Because it’s like, ‘Well, what did I do that was wrong? What did my family do that was wrong, because they wanted to take care of me?’ We need our government to show up for us, and it could do that for all of us, landlords and tenants, so that our country can get back to being better,” she said.
Until that time, and until talks resume among lawmakers for more financial relief, Caldwell said she will continue to fight for the right to be heard.

A video out of Portland shows a shirtless man attempting to charge at police before being drenched twice with pepper spray.
The man was apparently upset about cops arresting his girlfriend.
At first he walks away from riot police but returns with a vengeance while removing his shirt.
The man is screaming something about wanted to kill police if they touch his girlfriend, but he is met with a deluge of pepper spray.
He then takes the odd decision to try to charge at cops yet again but is soaked with pepper spray for a second time.
The man is then hit with what appears to be a rubber bullet as he falls to the ground.
As the man and his friend try to run away, they are both chased down by police, tackled and arrested.
They´re not sending their brightest.

Goodyear is facing calls for a boycott after a slide outlining the company ’ s “ zero-tolerance policy ” said Black Lives Matter and LGBT attire was acceptable but that MAGA attire and ‘ All Lives Matter ’ slogans were not .

“But at the same time, if someone’s not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that’s discriminatory. If we’re talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it’s discrimination.”
Numerous people took to Twitter to call for a boycott of the company, although Goodyear is just as likely to get a boost in revenue from the free ‘woke’ advertising the controversy will generate.

California is once again experiencing rolling blackouts and the media is acting like the cause is a giant mystery.
From Politico, “California has first rolling blackouts in 19 years — and everyone faces blame”:
The exact root of California’s rolling blackouts is still unclear as more power outages loom, and that’s allowed everyone to point fingers. Energy experts Monday cited a litany of potential causes for the rotating outages that affected hundreds of thousands of California residents Friday and Saturday nights: ballooning demand, inadequate transmission, an overreliance on renewable energy and natural gas plant challenges during hot weather. While California braced for another round of rolling blackouts Monday night, the state’s grid operator held off for a second straight night, citing cooler than expected weather and widespread conservation. It also came as Gov. Gavin Newsom questioned all of the state’s electricity players about why the outages occurred and faced blowback from frustrated residents. Still, the state says more blackouts affecting millions of residents could occur this week as a historic heat wave endures. California has endured planned blackouts in recent years as a wildfire prevention measure. But it was the Golden State’s first round of rolling blackouts related to supply since 2001, when Enron and other energy traders manipulated California’s market. Earlier Monday, the California Independent System Operator blamed Friday’s outages on “high heat and increased electricity demand.” Yet some energy experts noted that demand wasn’t particularly higher than normal, as is typical for weekends, and CAISO had predicted it would have adequate reserves on hand for the 80 percent of California’s grid that it manages.
The New York Times acted similarly puzzled.
They ran an article on Sunday titled, “Rolling Blackouts in California Have Power Experts Stumped.”
The “mystery” was revealed in the body of the article (surrounded by obfuscations):
The California Independent System Operator, the nonprofit entity that controls the flow of electricity for 80 percent of California, said it acted after three power plants shut down and wind power production dropped. It also cited a lack of access to electricity from out-of-state sources.
Wind shortages are a major issue few even knew existed until just a few years ago.
Regardless, California has been shutting down nuclear and other power plants relentlessly while their population has been exploding due to both legal and illegal immigration.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is planning to shut down the last remaining nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, in 2025 even though it could easily run for decades longer.
“Diablo Canyon Power Plant, which sits on approximately 1,000 acres on the Pacific coast, has operated safely since 1985 with its two Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) units that are licensed until 2024 and 2025 respectively,” according to PG&E.
“The two units produce a total of 18,000 gigawatt-hours of clean and reliable electricity annually, which is enough energy to meet the needs of more than three million Northern and Central Californians (nearly 10% of California’s energy portfolio and 20% of the power that PG&E provides throughout its service area).”
Mike Shellenberger has been banging the drums on this issue on Twitter.
Hi @KamalaHarris – Berkeley, Calif. resident here We are in 3rd night of blackouts b/c of our over-reliance on unreliable renewables & the closure of nat gas & nuclear plants Genuine question: why should the rest of the U.S. follow our lead? https://t.co/X7VpXQ2fZ2 — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 17, 2020
Also, California’s climate agenda resulted in power prices rising 6x more than in rest of US Don’t economists on the Left and Right broadly agree that making energy more expensive is highly regressive — even more so than making food expensive?https://t.co/iX5GtvGpeF — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 17, 2020
Only nations that use a lot of nuclear have significantly replaced fossil fuels Why, then, didn’t you follow-through on the glaring evidence of criminal activity leading to the closure of a Calif. nuclear plant, which spiked emissions & prices?https://t.co/CBMW9t0svn pic.twitter.com/ecqDZZaHEC — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 17, 2020
Would you please consider investigating California’s mystery gasoline surcharge now? It’s costing the average Californian family an astonishing *$1,800* per yearhttps://t.co/m32mlpi69K — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 17, 2020
To manage our increasingly unreliable grid, California will need to a) keep our last nuclear plant operating, b) build more nat gas plants, or c) pay ever-more money annually to reserve emergency electricity supply from its neighbors. Which do you favor?https://t.co/1GB9i0zDIo — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 17, 2020
Correction: To manage our increasingly unreliable grid, California will need to do TWO of the following: a) keep our last nuclear plant operating, b) build more nat gas plants, c) pay ever-more money annually to reserve emergency electricity supply from its neighbors. — Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) August 17, 2020

The teenager responsible for the death of a man at a Maryland Fair has been sentenced to probation and an anger management course after delivering a fatal blow to a local man after a verbal argument over a dollar .
A 16-year-old pleaded guilty to the brutal assault at the Great Frederick Fair where a group of teenagers surrounded 59-year-old John Weed demanding a dollar .
When Weed failed to comply , the group punched him in the head repeatedly , with the 16-year-old in question landing the fatal blow .
After Weed fell to the ground unresponsive , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before dancing around his unconscious body , hollering excitedly .
Weed died the next day in hospital after never regaining consciousness .
Police were called to the scene around 5:30 pm on September 20 last year after dozens of witnesses saw the unprovoked assault culminate in the death of the Mount Airy resident .
Owen is joined by Tom Pappert of National File to react to what has been the Democrat response to President Trump posthumously pardoning Susan B Anthony .
National File previously reported on the initial incident where “ Frederick County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the attack was not a hate crime , against police recommendations.
” “ We see no facts in this particular case that would lead anyone to believe there was an intent to kill , an intent to murder the victim , ” Smith said , adding that he would be recommending manslaughter charges instead of first–or even second-degree murder .
Smith also denied that the attack was a hate crime : “ Right now , what we know , it was over a dollar bill , it was not over race.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dollar bill .
Now , obviously there was some degree of dialogue that occurred after that and it was negative dialogue , who said what ?
We don ’ t know at this point in time .
The sheriff is still asking for people to come forward .
This was not about the knockout game…this was all over kids asking for a dollar and there was something that broke bad after that , ” Smith said .
Smith then added : “ There ’ s been a lot of people on social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as adults .
I can tell you I don ’ t make the law , I just prosecute people who break it .
So the law does not permit states attorneys offices across the state of Maryland to charge a juvenile as an adult with manslaughter , with second-degree murder , with first-degree assault.
” The teen ’ s attorney Stacey Steinmetz and Judge Julie Stevenson Solt both agreed to make the case closed to the public , given the teenager ’ s past contained details too sensitive to be publicized .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assault charge handed to the teenager after a plea agreement was reached , reported Frederick News Post .
Judge Solt then demanded for the unnamed 16-year-old to complete an anger management course , among other commitments , and to be placed on probation .
A follow-up deposition has been scheduled later this year to ascertain whether the teenager has complied with his probation agreement .
Prosecutors had initially pushed for the teens responsible to be tried as adults and for the case to be moved to an adult court , but the court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what that tells you is there is some concern about this young man ’ s ability to complete rehabilitation programs out in the community , ” Smith said .
“ It ’ s tough to not want some measure of punishment for this young man , but in the juvenile system that ’ s certainly not the ultimate goal ; it ’ s rehabilitation.
” “ I think that the judge ruled fairly and with compassion for all the parties involved … we want to move forward , I think justice succeeded in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the family of Mr. Weed , ” Steinmetz said after the hearing .
“ All along my client and his family have expressed sympathy and regret .
I think [ both families ] have acted with compassion towards one another.
” The perpetrator ’ s younger brother , who was also involved in the fatal beating , pleaded guilty to a single charge of manslaughter in April , and was “ ordered to remain in a juvenile detention facility to complete a behavioral modification program , ” according to Frederick News Post .
