WATCH: Obama’s CIA Chief Says It’s 'Routine' for USA and Russia to Share Intel
posted by Hannity.com Staff

Obama’s former CIA chief continued to douse cold water on liberals determined to find evidence of collusion between the White House and the Kremlin, telling lawmakers that the USA and Russia routinely share intelligence.

Speaking to the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, John Brennan told disappointed democrats that intelligence agencies in the United States and Russia commonly share security information and intel; particularly regarding terrorism.
“First point I’d like to make is that I shared classified information with the Russians while I was director of the CIA. The CIA on a routine basis shares classified information with Russians on terrorism matters,” he told Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff.
“It doesn’t mean that it becomes unclassified, it means that it retains the classification but it is releasable then to Russia and other partners. So that in itself is not unprecedented," he added.
Democrats and liberals are hoping Brennan’s testimony to Congress will reveal a ‘smoking gun’ that ties the President to the Russian government; so far it has not gone according to plan.
Earlier in the day, the former CIA chief squashed leftist accusations that the President pressured members of the intelligence community to “drop” their investigation of Michael Flynn. When asked if he had any knowledge of the allegations made against President Trump, he firmly responded, “No Sir.”

How will 39 million people pay 400 billion dollars more than they are already paying? I don't know, ask a whacko!

The whackos are at it again! There's a story out of the Los Angeles Times (see below) headlining a single-payer healthcare plan that would cost $400 billion dollars. In case you haven't visualized that in numbers, that's  400000000000.  While you're trying to conceptualize that figure why don't we take a look at another number; 39.14 million.  That's the population of the state of California and if you divide one into the other you'll come up with a figure over ten thousand dollars for every man, woman, and child.  I don't believe every man, woman, and child receives a pay check so I guess the ten thousand number will have to increase substantially in order to pay for this so-called "human right".  Where one gets the notion that health care is a human right is beyond comprehension.  What if there were no doctors, nurses, or health care professionals?  Who would provide this right?  Would the government step in and force someone to take care of you?  Seems to me that this world full of humans had many more years without any kind of health care except that which came from friends and family long  before the modern world of medicine arrived.  So someone figured out you could make a living out of getting people well so they became doctors and nurses...not very good at first but when they got better at what they were doing so did the price.  Before we ramble on too far I should point out that the average life expectancy back in the middle ages was only 35 compared to today's almost 79 years...a contributing factor surely is modern medicine to include those 'awful' (said with jest) pharmaceutical companies . 
But here's the irony of this human rights business... Where does it say that we can steal from one group to give to another? We have a right to live...a right to speak...a right to move about...a right to think...you even have a right to defecate but not on police cars!  Human rights come from our Creator and not from the government.  The minute the government says you have a right that does not exist anywhere else it becomes a dictatorship.  You have a right to a free education...what's that you say? Who's going to pay for it? Shut-up!  You are! You have a right to health care...what's that you say? Who's going to pay for it? Shut-up!  You are! 
Meanwhile I don't know who in their right mind would be caught holding up signs that are not only ridiculous but stupid as stupid can be...unless they were paid by the powers to be...to be dictators! ~ Norman E. Hooben

Reporting from Sacramento
Single-payer healthcare could cost $400 billion to implement in California

A single-payer healthcare system in California — a galvanizing cause among the state's progressive flank — would cost $400 billion annually, according to a legislative analysis released on Monday.

The analysis, released in advance of the proposal's hearing in a key fiscal committee, fills in what has so far been the biggest unanswered question concerning the plan to dramatically overhaul California's healthcare coverage.
The analysis found that the proposal would require:

• A total cost of $400 billion per year to cover all healthcare and administrative costs.
• Of that, $200 billion of existing federal, state and local funds could be repurposed to go toward the single-payer system.
• The additional $200 billion would need to be raised from new taxes.

The analysis proposes one scenario in which a new payroll tax on employers — with a rate of 15% of earned income — could supply the new revenue. But the measure itself does not contain a specific tax proposal, and therefore would not, at this point, need a two-thirds vote to approve a new tax.
The write-up also notes that a  universal healthcare proposal would likely reduce spending by employers and employees statewide, which currently ranges between $100 billion and $150 billion annually. Therefore, the total new spending under the bill would be between $50 billion and $100 billion each year.
Under the bill, the state would cover medical care for every resident in California, including those without legal immigration status. Enrollees would not have to pay premiums, co-payments or deductibles.
The analysis cautions that the single-payer bill, SB 562 by Sens. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) and Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), would required "unprecedented changes to a mature healthcare system."
"Therefore, there is tremendous uncertainty in how such a system would be developed, how the transition to the new system would occur, and how participants in the new system would behave," it notes.

I'm Sorry These Are Called "FACTS"

Great speech by Ben Shapiro...

If you don't have time for the full speech, which was interrupted by some bimbos, check out the Q & A part beginning around 58:30 on the counter...some great stuff here! No time for that? Then move on to 1:30:00 or close by to get his final remarks.  We should all have some of this in are lives. ~ Norm

Kris Bauman...a piss poor excuse for a colonel in the United States Air Force

An Assessment Of An Assessment

The United States Air Force Colonel pictured below wrote a 237 page dissertation for his thesis paper at the University of Denver…with that and among other things, the university awards him his so called PHD.   We all know that a thesis paper is just another way of expressing an opinion or as I say, “An Assessment”.

My assessment of  Colonel Bauman’s 237 pages can be summed up in a few sentences.  His title, “Understanding Multiparty Mediation in the middle East Peace Process” is obviously an attempt bring about change but his dissertation clearly shows he knows nothing about Middle East history.  To blame Netanyahu for ‘inciting’ Palestinian terror is an obvious left-wing  propaganda statement that would please Colonel Bauman’s Commander in Chief, the notorious anti-American ever to con his way into the White House, Barack Hussein Obama (The thesis was written in 2009).  No matter how many so-called multi-party mediators attempt to solve peace in that area they will always amount in failure.  The Palestinians will always hate the Jews, the Jews have capitulated altogether too much of their sovereignty such that an ounce more would allow them to be eliminated from the face of the earth a promise made by those who support the Palestinians…and possibly Colonel Bauman.  The only way peace will ever be brought to the middle east is when one faction eliminates the other.  If Netanyahu took on the role of the Palestinians they would have been eliminated years ago.  So wake up Colonel and put in your retirement papers before Trump fires your insubordinate ass.  ~  Norman E.

NSC official blames Netanyahu for ‘inciting’ Palestinian terror

Colonel Kris Bauman

Kris Bauman, the newly appointed Israel adviser on the H.R. McMaster-led National Security Council, has a plethora of radical views when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict, siding mostly with extremist elements in Palestinian leadership over America’s closest Middle East ally.

In early May, Bauman joined the National Security Council. An Air Force colonel, he has rarely openly expressed his opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian divide, or other international affairs matters. Bauman previously served as chief of staff to Obama appointee General John Allen. He replaces Yael Lempert, who supporters of Israel claim has done immense damage to America’s relationship with Israel.

Conservative Review has acquired a copy his 2009 237-page Ph.D. dissertation from the University of Denver.
In his dissertation, Bauman blames Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for “inciting Palestinian violence,” claiming the sitting head of state “derailed the peace process almost completely.”
For Bauman, the terrorist (Hamas) and terror supporting (Palestinian Authority) leadership of “Palestine” are not to blame for the lack of peace, but instead, the elected leader of a free, democratic society. On countless occasions, he places Israeli “settlers” and Palestinian suicide terrorists on equal moral footing in discussing the lack of peace between the two sides.
Concerning the U.S.-designated terror group Hamas, Bauman blames Israel for the Islamic jihadi group’s radicalism. Israel “refused to engage with Hamas and instead turned Gaza into an open-air prison,” Bauman writes of the failures to “moderate” Hamas.
Hamas, which stands by a charter that calls for the killing of Jews worldwide and the annihilation of Israel, “has signaled that it is prepared to operate with moderation,” the new NSC adviser adds, suggesting that Israel and the Middle East Quartet “should find a way to positively respond” to the terrorists.
Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Mag has explored several segments from the dissertation in more detail, highlighting the NSC adviser’s conspiratorial views on the so-called “Israel Lobby,” and his insistence that the U.S. should engage the terror group Hamas and include it as part of a future Palestinian state.
Greenfield points out that Bauman “extensively quotes Robert Malley,” the pro-Hamas Obama administration Middle East NSC official. Conservative Review has exclusively reported that Malley has been attending NSC meetings under McMaster.
Bauman is far from the only anti-Israel appointee to infiltrate the Trump administration, which has promised to “drain the swamp” of Obama holdovers. Michael Ratney, a John Kerry confidant who is one such example, is in charge of the State Department’s Israel-Palestinian portfolio.
