Susan Miller, a retired CIA officer who helped lead the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, refuted claims that it was fabricated. Miller stated the assessment was based on credible information confirming Russia's goal to get Trump elected, although no No collusion between Trump's campaign and the Kremlin was found. Tulsi Gabbard claimed the assessment was based on manufactured information and part of a conspiracy to undermine Trump, referencing a 2020 Republican House report. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) dismissed Miller's comments, referencing the 2020 Republican House intelligence report. A bipartisan Senate probe in 2020 endorsed the intelligence agencies' assessment that Russia spread disinformation and leaked emails to undermine Hillary Clinton and bolster Trump. read more

Introduction and Executive Summary In recent months, leading politicians and policymakers have renewed calls for mass deportations of immigrants from the United States. While similar promises have been made in the past without coming to fruition"during the 2016 presidential campaign, for example, Donald Trump pledged to create a "deportation force" to round up undocumented immigrants "mass deportation now occupies a standing role in the rhetoric of leading immigration hawks.

I wouldn't ban all personal injury ambulance chasers; just the one's who advertise on TV bragging about big settlements for their clients (Morgan and Morgan and others). I hate those creeps who cause our insurance rates to be so high. I honestly think wOur home though was undamaged as were all the rest of the homes on our street.e should return to a less letigious time when attorneys did not advertise. But, I also don't think pharmaceutical manufacturers should be advertising either.
I'm sure that the TV netwotks would disagree since they make so much money advertising for both. I live in Floida; land of hurricanes and so I oppose anything that is going to add significantly to the cost of home ownership. Well, Florida is in an insurance crisis; people are being forced to sell their homes because the insurance costs more than their mortgage and our Governor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the greedy insurance industry. But, the lawyers have created this problem by bragging on TV about big settlements.
Back in 1992 I lived in a modest house in Hollywood, Florida when Hurricane Andrew was predicted to be coming straight for our city so we evacuated abd returned the next day after the storm had turned and gone far south to South Miami where it was a huge disaster. We clraned up the yard and went on with life but then I was told by a neighbor that everyone else on the street had filed insurance claims and recieved between $5-$10,000 settlbeen contacted by the same law firmements with virtually no damage. This did upset me and then I was told most of them had all been contacted by the same law firm which was apparently assisting many, many homeowners and filing bogus claims. Realise, after Andrew all insurance adjusters were busy as hell so smaller claims were just paid without question. But our home owner's insurance rates wenr way up and, I guess, I've pretty much considered most lawyers to be crooks ever since and I have two siblings who are successful attorneys and they know what I think pf their professiion (not muvh).
Point being, if Gov. Desantis cared about Floridians he would do something about the lawyers and the insurance companies but he won't even consider it because they bought and paid for his governorship aND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.
