thedcclothesline--2020-05-26--Texas: Yet Another Jihad Attack At A Naval Air Station

On Thursday , a 20-year-old Muslim migrant from Syria named Adam Salim Alsahli drove up to the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas and , according to CNN , “ attempted to rush the security gate with a vehicle.
” Then , after “ security deployed a barrier to stop the vehicle , ” Alsahli “ exited the vehicle and opened fire…and naval security forces returned fire.
” Alsahli was “ neutralized , ” but the threat he represents has not been neutralized at all , because of the refusal of the political and media elites to face it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly every jihad attack is written off as a manifestation of “ mental illness , ” the FBI immediately acknowledged that Alsahli ’ s attack was “ terrorism-related.
” As it turned out , “ officials have identified various social media accounts , which initial reports indicate are likely associated with the shooter….Online postings by these accounts expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ( AQAP ) .
What a surprise .
And Alsahli ’ s attack came only three days after the news broke that “ the gunman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military base in Florida last year repeatedly communicated with al-Qaida operatives about planning in the months leading up to the attack.
” And he didn ’ t just communicate with them .
Attorney General William Barr noted that the Florida shooter , Mohammed Alshamrani , had “ significant ties to Al Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula not only before the attack , but before he even arrived in the United States.
” Like Alsahli , Alshamrani attacked a naval air base , the Naval Air Station Pensacola .
In January 2013 , Barack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ central goal … or have come very close to achieving our central goal , which is to de-capacitate al Qaeda , to dismantle them , to make sure that they can ’ t attack us again.
” Yet here it is over seven years later , and al-Qaeda is responsible for not one , but two attacks on naval air stations in the United States in the last six months .
Leftists will blame Trump , but that ’ s even more ridiculous in this case than it usually is , as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increased America ’ s vulnerability to jihad attack and made sure that there will be many more like those perpetrated by Alsahli and Alshamrani .
take our poll - story continues below These attacks were made possible by Obama-era policies that are still very much part of the institutional culture of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies , policies that are based on the false propositions that Islam is a religion of peace , and that any attempt to discern whether or not any individual Muslim is a violent jihadist , or sympathetic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ Islamophobia.
” Because of these false assumptions , Alsahli and the Saudi national Alshamrani were able to enter the United States .
Because of these wrongheaded ideas , no one would have dared monitor what was being taught in the mosques they attended ; to have done so would have been “ Islamophobic.
” Anyone around either one of them who had the courage to declare publicly that they were suspicious of them would have been courting personal and professional ruin at the hands of groups such as the Hamas-linked Council @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is always on the lookout for incidents of “ anti-Muslim bigotry , ” no matter how spurious .
Even worse , despite these jihad attacks on American soil , nothing will change .
Because of the establishment media ’ s indefatigable commitment to whitewashing the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat , most Americans won ’ t even be aware that they happened at all .
The TV networks are too busy broadcasting the latest documentary on the threat of “ right-wing ” violence to cover attacks of this kind .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there will be more attacks like the two at these naval air stations .
Because nothing is likewise more certain than the fact that anyone who tries to sound the alarm about these events , and to call for measures to ensure that these things don ’ t happen again , will be smeared , defamed , marginalized , and silenced .
So if you ’ re a betting man ( or a betting woman , for those of you reading who are members of the thought police ) , head to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the certainty of another jihad attack in the U.S. – oh , never mind , Las Vegas is busy committing suicide to destroy Trump .

On Thursday, a 20-year-old Muslim migrant from Syria named Adam Salim Alsahli drove up to the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas and, according to CNN, “attempted to rush the security gate with a vehicle.” Then, after “security deployed a barrier to stop the vehicle,” Alsahli “exited the vehicle and opened fire…and naval security forces returned fire.” Alsahli was “neutralized,” but the threat he represents has not been neutralized at all, because of the refusal of the political and media elites to face it honestly.
Surprisingly in these times when nearly every jihad attack is written off as a manifestation of “mental illness,” the FBI immediately acknowledged that Alsahli’s attack was “terrorism-related.” As it turned out, “officials have identified various social media accounts, which initial reports indicate are likely associated with the shooter….Online postings by these accounts expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
What a surprise. And Alsahli’s attack came only three days after the news broke that “the gunman who killed three U.S. sailors at a military base in Florida last year repeatedly communicated with al-Qaida operatives about planning in the months leading up to the attack.” And he didn’t just communicate with them. Attorney General William Barr noted that the Florida shooter, Mohammed Alshamrani, had “significant ties to Al Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula not only before the attack, but before he even arrived in the United States.” Like Alsahli, Alshamrani attacked a naval air base, the Naval Air Station Pensacola.

After months of quarantine, Americans are finally breaking free from their homes this Memorial Day weekend, despite the potential consequences of sparking a second coronavirus wave. The battle between staying sane while cooped up in a home for months versus the ongoing pandemic is a challenging situation to balance. While some are venturing outside in absolute horror, others are putting their party face on and disregarding local public health orders.
Thousands of vacationers, few with masks and ignoring social distancing rules, flocked to Ocean City, Maryland for Memorial Day weekend. This comes as COVID-19 cases in the state topped 45,000, with the number of people hospitalized leveling off in the past several weeks.
On Saturday, WJZ-TV’s Mike Hellgren documented dense crowds wandering the boardwalk, many of whom were wearing no masks nor had any intention of staying six feet apart from one another.

The High Cost Of Locking Down America: “We’ve Seen A Year’s Worth Of Suicide Attempts In The Last Four Weeks”

Locking down much of the country may have helped to “ flatten the curve ” a bit , but it has also had some very serious consequences that public health officials did not anticipate .
Humans were created to be social creatures , and forcing us to isolate ourselves from one another for weeks on end has turned out to be quite problematic .
This has especially been true for those that live alone .
Today , the U.S. has a higher percentage of one person households than ever before , and keeping those individuals totally isolated in their own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prison inmates in solitary confinement for an extended period of time .
In both cases , it can be just a matter of time before people mentally break .
And suicide helplines all over America are seeing an enormous increase in the number of people calling in… take our poll - story continues below In addition to being isolated in their own homes , Americans have also been bombarded by endless coverage of this pandemic by the mainstream media , and this has definitely helped to fuel a lot of anxiety… And of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news than ever before .
According to Comcast , the average U.S. household has actually been watching 66 hours of TV a week during this pandemic… Watching endless hours of television is one of the worst possible things that you can do for your mental health .
If you put garbage into your mind , you are going to get garbage out .
And allowing the corporate media elite to endlessly feed hour after hour of “ programming ” directly into your mind is incredibly self-destructive .
In addition to binge-watching television , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this crisis by turning to drugs and alcohol… Needless to say , this is more self-destructive behavior that is just going to fuel even more anxiety , depression and despair .
Yes , this pandemic has been bad .
There have been more than 1.7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States so far , and about 100,000 Americans have died .
But this isn ’ t the worst thing that we are going to face .
In fact , it isn ’ t even close .
So if we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now , how in the world are we going to be able to handle what is coming ?
The good news is that this pandemic is causing a lot of people to wake up and reflect on what really matters .
Prior to COVID-19 , a lot of Americans were living for their careers .

So many of the things that we once valued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and maybe that is precisely what we needed .

Even before this pandemic came along, the suicide rate in the United States Even before this pandemic came along, the suicide rate in the United States was already soaring , and now the number of suicides is spiking like we have never seen before. Just consider what Dr. Mike deBoisblanc of John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California says is happening in his area
“We’ve never seen numbers like this, in such a short period of time,” he said. “I mean we’ve seen a year’s worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks.”
And suicide helplines all over America are seeing an enormous increase in the number of people calling in…
take our poll - story continues below Completing this poll grants you access to DC Clothesline updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Many crisis centers are reporting 30% to 40% increases in the number of people seeking help. The helpline at Provident is experiencing a tenfold increase compared with this time last year, when no national disaster was occurring.
In addition to being isolated in their own homes, Americans have also been bombarded by endless coverage of this pandemic by the mainstream media, and this has definitely helped to fuel a lot of anxiety…
In all, 66% are watching and consuming more news than ever before, which is particularly puzzling considering that 68% also admitted that COVID-19 coverage gives them considerable anxiety. It’s not just anxiety either; 65% said they feel overwhelmed by coronavirus news, 56% just get plain angry, 67% feel burnt out, 59% experience fearfulness, and 50% can’t help but feel hopeless after hearing the nightly news.
And of course Americans are not just watching more news than ever before. According to Comcast, the average U.S. household has actually been watching 66 hours of TV a week during this pandemic…
New research from telecomms firm Comcast has revealed viewing time has soared as a result, with households watching an extra eight-plus hours of TV each week – equivalent to the time spent on a full days’ work shift. This means the average household now watches 66 hours of TV a week, up from 57 hours a week in early March.
Watching endless hours of television is one of the worst possible things that you can do for your mental health.
If you put garbage into your mind, you are going to get garbage out.
And allowing the corporate media elite to endlessly feed hour after hour of “programming” directly into your mind is incredibly self-destructive.
In addition to binge-watching television, many Americans have also been dealing with this crisis by turning to drugs and alcohol…
Findings by The Recovery Village, a Florida-based network of addiction treatment facilities, reflect an “expected” increase in substance use during the pandemic, with Americans reporting a 55% rise in alcohol consumption in the last month. When it came to illicit drugs, 36% of Americans reported increased use of marijuana and prescription opioids, among others.
Needless to say, this is more self-destructive behavior that is just going to fuel even more anxiety, depression and despair.
Yes, this pandemic has been bad. There have been more than 1.7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States so far, and about 100,000 Americans have died.

The poll of 800 high school students and 800 post-secondary students found that 67 percent said they’re either praying more often or thinking about spiritual issues more compared to the time before the virus.
There is hope, but it won’t be found on a television screen, at the bottom of a bottle or at the end of a needle.
So please don’t give up. Despite all of the craziness in our world today, the best chapters of your life can still be ahead of you.

Media Wants America To Stay Closed Forever: It Has Americans Right Where It Wants Them – Trapped In Front Of The TV

CNN doubled its audience in April , while MSNBC hit its best total-day ratings .
Network news programs rose 39 % since last year , gaining over 8 million viewers for their best numbers in over a decade .
Cable news networks have become the most watched channels on cable and network news has been beating prime time programming .
The pandemic is the next best thing to Walter Cronkite rising from the dead .
The New York Times is up to 6 million subscribers with an increase of 587,000 digital subscriptions that it attributes to “ widespread interest in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Last year the paper was struggling to make it to 5 million subscribers .
Digital subscriptions are up across the industry .
Digital subscriptions rose 29 % at the Dallas Morning News , 17 % at the Honolulu Star-Advertiser , and the Poynter-FactCheck ’ s Tampa Bay Times boasted of tripling the rate of digital subscriptions .
With 87 % of Americans saying that they ’ re closely following news of the coronavirus pandemic , while many of them are trapped indoors , the media is experiencing an unprecedented boom .
And with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s even begun launching new ventures to exploit the pandemic like NBC News ’ coronavirus newscast for kids .
It ’ s a terrible time for Americans , but a great one for the media .

Right now , the media has the American public right where it wants it , trapped indoors , and closely following whatever combination of reporting , propaganda , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And the polls show that it ’ s working .
Most of the country is afraid .
A not insignificant percentage of the electorate is convinced that it will die if its cohort leaves the house without a mask , and would like to keep receiving government checks forever .
Media hysteria not only trashed the economy , but sold millions on the socialist lifestyle .
After the Russia hoax , a botched impeachment , and more hit pieces than even historians will be able to count , the media is achieving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s reelection .
All the media had to do was scare the public within an inch of its life into crawling under the bed .
To quote the nation ’ s first Republican president , “ you may fool people for a time ; you can fool a part of the people all the time ; but you can ’ t fool all the people all the time.
” That ’ s always been the problem with the media ’ s business model .
It has a core audience that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it can ’ t have any real power unless it reaches beyond the urbanites and suburbanites concentrated in a few blue areas .
As the warmer weather swept in , social distancing began to collapse , accelerating reopenings in red states , and putting pressure on blue states to step up .
Even New York and California have been forced to move up their timetables while struggling with the crowds headed to the beach or socializing in parks .
Every state has now moved toward lifting their lockdowns to one degree or another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waiting for the politicians to act .
The median distance people have been traveling , based on cell phone data , doubled from half a mile to a mile .
The shutdown is being shut down .
Now it ’ s the media ’ s turn to be afraid .
The Atlantic condemned Governor Brian Kemp ’ s decision to reopen Georgia as an “ experiment in human sacrifice ” .
But , Coronavirus cases have dropped 20 % since the reopening .
So , the media has doubled down on its false @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Georgia and Florida numbers .
After a Florida state employee who had been inputting numbers into the state ’ s virus dashboard was fired , the media insisted that she had been silenced for refusing to cover up the “ real ” numbers .
The media neglected to mention that she had been arrested for cyber-stalking and revenge porn .
It has since moved on to suggesting a cover-up at the CDC .
In a matter of weeks , the media has gone from urging evidence-based policymaking that follows the numbers , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ readers to ignore the numbers because it ’ s a conspiracy .
They ’ re out to get you… out of the house .
And away from your TV .
CNN has taken the lead in spinning conspiracies about Georgia , Florida , and the CDC , while failing to disclose to its viewers and readers that it has a major vested interest in maintaining the lockdown .
Politicians have wrongly deemed the media to be non-essential .
That means that CNN can remain in business while calling for lockdowns of countless small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as its ratings soar because all the people it put out of work are at home watching TV .
Beyond the ideological conflict of interest , CNN has a huge economic conflict of interest .
So does the rest of the media .

Now the nerds at the news desk are able to beat everything else .
All they had to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ professional sports league was still playing in the USA .
If only they ’ d thought of that back when they were working on the high school paper .
And yet , at no point in time , has the media bothered explaining this simple fact to its viewers .
The media is resisting any effort to lift the lockdowns because the closure rules don ’ t apply to it .
They never did .
CNN was able to keep its staff working even while the pandemic was ravaging New York City .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ working from home , that was as much of an illusion as Chris Cuomo ’ s quarantine .
The anchors stayed home , but much of the rank and file workforce did not .
Another way of looking at the lockdowns is that they act as media rent-seeking programs , providing a lifeline to a struggling industry by shutting down its rivals and creating a captive audience .
The media wants America to stay closed forever .
And if it were up to it , that ’ s what would happen .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the rest of the corrupt media cartel have nothing to gain from the country reopening and everything to lose .
And the cartel is corruptly influencing public policy with propaganda , with disinformation , and with conspiracy theories in order to serve its own interests .
The pandemic has been a disaster for America and a huge gift for the media ’ s fear-based programming .
Americans look out at a country that they no longer recognize .
They see a place where the Bill of Rights doesn ’ t apply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been indoctrinated by the media to fear each other , and where the recent economic boom seems like a distant memory .
But the media sees a vast captive audience and it has no intention of releasing its # StayAtHome captives without a fight .
Every media article , segment , and story against the lockdown is nothing more than digital slave owners fighting to keep its captive audience on the plantation .
The reopenings are a liberation , not only allowing people to go back to work , to school , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but freeing millions of people hiding indoors , in thrall to the media ’ s fear campaign , and releasing them into the light .

A not insignificant percentage of the electorate is convinced that it will die if its cohort leaves the house without a mask, and would like to keep receiving government checks forever. Media hysteria not only trashed the economy, but sold millions on the socialist lifestyle.

( Natural News ) Online free speech is under attack like never before , and President Donald Trump has vowed to take action in its preservation .
In a recent tweet , Trump called out the culprits by name and indicated that his administration is working to address a problem that has been escalating for years .
“ The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook , Instagram , Twitter , and Google , ” the president tweeted .
“ The Administration is working to remedy this illegal situation.
” Along with this tweet , Trump shared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin , who likewise has been taking a stand in defense of free speech online .

The internet will quickly become an echo chamber for leftist ideologies with no room for alternative voices .

Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams , the Health Ranger , discusses the relentless attack by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Will the White House actually deliver on its promise ?
Many readers will recall that the White House announced last spring the unveiling of its “ Tech Bias ” portal , which allows Americans to report online censorship directly to Washington .
Since it was launched , however , the silencing of free speech online has only gotten worse .
“ The Trump Administration is fighting for free speech online , ” the official White House Twitter page announced .

This is promising and could suggest that the hammer is about to drop on Big Tech .

thedcclothesline--2020-05-26--Omar on Biden Accuser: ‘Justice Can Be Delayed But Should Never Be Denied’

Rep. Omar says that if it were up to her , Biden wouldn ’ t be the Democratic Nominee .
In an interview with the U.K. ’ s Sunday Times , Congresswoman Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) said that she believes the sexual assault claim made by Tara Reade against presumptive Democratic Nominee , Joe Biden .

She says that Biden pinned her against a wall and inserted his fingers into her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was made in late March , the Media ( D ) and high-profile Democrats have rushed to Biden ’ s side dismissing the claims as a “ nothing burger ” while turning their backs on their Fall 2018 “ I Believe Survivors ” stance that they used to bludgeon Supreme Court Nominee , Brett Kavanaugh .
Those same Democrats and their co-conspirators in the Media ( D ) were quick to print any and all accusations against Brett Kavanaugh as Gospel Truth no matter how ludicrous .
Now , these political hacks are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credible of Kavanaugh accusers , the non-credible-but-sympathetic-to-some , Christine Blasey Ford .
Omar , a former Bernie surrogate , has joined with several other far-left Democrats along with a handful of NeverTrumpers and MeToo celebs in not dismissing Tara Reade ’ s accusation out-of-hand .
The freshman Congresswoman told the paper , “ I do believe Reade .
Justice can be delayed , but should never be denied.
” Earlier this month , AOC admitted in an interview with NPR that the Reade accusation is not “ clear cut ” and that she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not sure , it “ seems as though something has happened.
” She calls this a “ messy moment , and I think we need to acknowledge that — that it is not clear-cut.
” At least these Congresswomen are keeping their Believe Women standard consistent .
The true test for them , however , would be if a “ Democratic Socialist ” was accused of sexual assault .
Perhaps they ’ d change their tune then .
Despite AOC ’ s concern that Biden may have sexually assaulted a woman , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Recently , Biden named Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) as co-chair of his Climate Committee .
The difference in coverage between the accusations against Kavanaugh and Biden is the story regardless of the truth of accusations themselves .
Frankly , in many of these He Said/She Said cases , we may never know the truth .
There are problems with Reade ’ s claims–they ’ ve shifted several times and some of her “ corroborating evidence ” just indicates that there was some problem that prompted her departure from working for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexual assault .
That said , the Media ( D ) and Democrats still hold on to the claim that Justice Brett Kavanaugh almost sexually abused Christine Blasey Ford at a party when he was a drunk teenager , despite no evidence that the pair had ever met .
Now , these same feminist activists who hashtagged MeToo , Believe Survivors , and Believe Women , who stormed Capitol Hill and harrassed Senators in hallways and elevators , and insisted that Kavanaugh not be confirmed because some of them had been sexually assaulted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now trying to gaslight us by saying that “ Believe Women ” wasn ’ t a demand that all women must be believed no matter what .
That ’ s precisely what they meant in 2018 .
The Reade accusation has exposed the political grifters who were more than willing to weaponize MeToo to punish their opponents under the guise of “ Believing Women ” when it suits them then suddenly shifting to defending due process and the presumption of innocence when it doesn ’ t .
The worst example of this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presumption of innocence when he is accused , but doesn ’ t want to extend that same courtesy to college students .

Rep. Omar says that if it were up to her, Biden wouldn’t be the Democratic Nominee.

In an interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar(D-MN) said that she believes the sexual assault claim made by Tara Reade against presumptive Democratic Nominee, Joe Biden.
Reade claims that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 when she was working for then-Senator Biden as an aide. She says that Biden pinned her against a wall and inserted his fingers into her vagina without consent.
Since the accusation was made in late March, the Media(D) and high-profile Democrats have rushed to Biden’s side dismissing the claims as a “nothing burger” while turning their backs on their Fall 2018 “I Believe Survivors” stance that they used to bludgeon Supreme Court Nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Those same Democrats and their co-conspirators in the Media(D) were quick to print any and all accusations against Brett Kavanaugh as Gospel Truth no matter how ludicrous.
Now, these political hacks are ignoring more corroboration than even the most credible of Kavanaugh accusers, the non-credible-but-sympathetic-to-some, Christine Blasey Ford.
Omar, a former Bernie surrogate, has joined with several other far-left Democrats along with a handful of NeverTrumpers and MeToo celebs in not dismissing Tara Reade’s accusation out-of-hand.
The freshman Congresswoman told the paper, “I do believe Reade. Justice can be delayed, but should never be denied.”
Earlier this month, AOC admitted in an interview with NPR that the Reade accusation is not “clear cut” and that she thinks that, although she’s not sure, it “seems as though something has happened.” She calls this a “messy moment, and I think we need to acknowledge that — that it is not clear-cut.”
At least these Congresswomen are keeping their Believe Women standard consistent. The true test for them, however, would be if a “Democratic Socialist” was accused of sexual assault. Perhaps they’d change their tune then.
Despite AOC’s concern that Biden may have sexually assaulted a woman, she’s still standing by the man.
Recently, Biden named Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(D-NY) as co-chair of his Climate Committee.
The difference in coverage between the accusations against Kavanaugh and Biden is the story regardless of the truth of accusations themselves. Frankly, in many of these He Said/She Said cases, we may never know the truth. There are problems with Reade’s claims–they’ve shifted several times and some of her “corroborating evidence” just indicates that there was some problem that prompted her departure from working for Biden, but doesn’t indicate sexual assault. That said, the Media(D) and Democrats still hold on to the claim that Justice Brett Kavanaugh almost sexually abused Christine Blasey Ford at a party when he was a drunk teenager, despite no evidence that the pair had ever met.
Now, these same feminist activists who hashtagged MeToo, Believe Survivors, and Believe Women, who stormed Capitol Hill and harrassed Senators in hallways and elevators, and insisted that Kavanaugh not be confirmed because some of them had been sexually assaulted by someone other than Kavanaugh, are now trying to gaslight us by saying that “Believe Women” wasn’t a demand that all women must be believed no matter what. That’s precisely what they meant in 2018.
The Reade accusation has exposed the political grifters who were more than willing to weaponize MeToo to punish their opponents under the guise of “Believing Women” when it suits them then suddenly shifting to defending due process and the presumption of innocence when it doesn’t.

The worst example of this is Joe Biden himself, who wants the presumption of innocence when he is accused, but doesn’t want to extend that same courtesy to college students.

“This is an absolutely alarming and disheartening picture of the level of illegality in the Sicilian health system, where systemic corruption has allowed very large illicit profits,” the magistrates’ arrest warrant made available to Reuters said. The police also seized seven companies based in Sicily and in the northern region of Lombardy, as well as some 160,000 euros in bribes allegedly already paid. […] “Those who steal public money, if the allegations are confirmed, do not deserve the esteem of so many honest people. Everyone must know that healthcare is not a business,” Sicily’s regional president Nello Musumeci wrote on Facebook.
