TRUMP AND EPSTEIN

I was laughing my ass off when the Epstein story broke this week because the Trump-ites on Facebook said, “Oh wait until the stuff comes out about Bill Clinton! Then it was revealed that their sainted Diaper Don knew and parting with Epstein. Crickets on Facebook. Here’s what aol had to write.
President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the 66-year-old hedge fund manager charged this week with sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, were the only other participants in a party that consisted of roughly two dozen women at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, according to a New York Times report.
The women were reportedly flown in for a "calendar girl" competition that was requested by Trump, The Times said. "I said, 'Donald, this is supposed to be a party with VIPs. You're telling me it's you and Epstein,'" a former Trump associate recalled having asked.

In 1992, the women were reportedly flown in for a "calendar girl" competition that was requested by Trump, The Times said.
"At the very first party, I said, 'Who's coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming,'" former Trump associate George Houraney reportedly said. "It was him and Epstein."
"I said, 'Donald, this is supposed to be a party with VIPs. You're telling me it's you and Epstein," he recalled saying.
Houraney claimed to have warned Trump about Epstein's behavior and said the real estate tycoon did not heed his notice. Houraney, a businessman, reportedly said Trump "didn't care" about how he had to ban Epstein from his events.
My question is this. What can two old guys do with 28 women? Bet you there was a lot of Viagra being passed around then. (LuLac, AOL.mail) 

CASEY REVEALS THAT ADMINISTRATION ABRUPTLY DENIED PA VETS ACCESS TO VA CAREGIVER PROGRAM

BETWEEN FY 2017 AND FY 2018, PENNSYLVANIA SAW A 62% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF VETERANS DROPPED FROM THE CAREGIVERS PROGRAM

U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) revealed that the Trump Administration abruptly denied Pennsylvania veterans access to the VA Family Caregiver Assistance Program. A new report, issued by Casey, shows that veterans across the country have been cast out of the program despite growing need. Casey also introduced the Supporting Veteran Caregivers Act, which would require the VA to evaluate these discharges and ensure that Veterans and their caregivers were not deprived of assistance.
“As we head into Memorial Day, it’s clear the Administration is falling short on ensuring that our veterans have access to this program,” Senator Casey said. “If the Administration won’t get its act together, Congress should. My legislation would ensure our veterans have access to this program. We owe them this and so much more.”
More on Casey’s Report:
The report issued by Senator Casey examines how the VA failed to establish standard processes for eligibility redeterminations and discharges in the VA Family Caregiver Assistance Program. This failure has resulted in thousands of Veterans and their caregivers being abruptly discharged from the program or receiving reduced support. After recognizing these inconsistencies, the VA has failed to reevaluate the cases of the thousands of Veterans that were discharged from the program or had their benefits reduced. The report is accompanied by data provided by the VA detailing discharges that occurred between January 2017 and March 2019.
More on the Supporting Veteran Caregivers Act:
In Pennsylvania, there was a 62% increase in the number of Veterans discharged from the Caregivers program between FY 2017 and FY 2018. The legislation introduced today would require the VA to reevaluate the cases of all Veterans and their caregivers that were discharged from the program or had their benefits reduced on or after January 1, 2015. Where the VA’s evaluation reveals that a discharge or downgrade in benefits was improperly made, the legislation directs the VA to offer that Veteran and their caregiver reinstatement in the program or renewal of benefits, and ensures that that the Veteran and their caregiver receive the assistance that they were entitled to during the period that they were improperly denied assistance.

One of the Soviet Central Television networks gave viewers "their first look at nude movies and sex magazines", unprecedented in the network's broadcasting and a shock to Russian society's normally prudish attitudes toward sex. Western observers concluded that the late evening show was intended for propaganda purposes, and that "Its apparent aim was to put America in a bad light by shocking puritanical Russians". Nude scenes from the recently produced off-Broadway play Oh! Calcutta! were shown, along with the recent film Che!, along with photographs of "sex magazine covers with unclad men and women" that "appeared to have been photographed through the windows of midtown bookshops in New York City". The show's narrator informed viewers that "The American public loves this." The narrator also described Oh! Calcutta! as "the most repulsive" example of the "erotic revolution" in the United States. The final vestige of the penny arcade era was quietly retired as the last known one-cent machine, a "fortune teller" that dispensed tickets for one penny, was removed and replaced by newer version that cost five centsPitcher Tom Seaver of the New York Mets kept 25 consecutive Chicago Cubs batters from reaching base and needed just two more to record what would have been only the tenth perfect game in Major League Baseball history. With one out in the ninth inning, little-used rookie Jim Qualls connected on Seaver's first pitch and reached first base for the Cubs' only hit of the game at New York's Shea Stadium….Hall of fame rock group Vanilla Fudge arrived four hours late for their concert at the Blossom Amphitheater at Northampton Township outside of Cleveland, after driving to North Hampton, Ohio, population 489, and located 200 miles away. Vocalist Mark Stein told a reporter later, "You understand, man, that the promoter kept telling our agent about Blossom Center in Northampton Township. Only we were up in Montreal, and looking at a map to find the place and sure enough — there's this town, North Hampton, near Dayton somewhere. We figured, that's a weird place for a concert, but if that's where peoples' heads are at in Ohio, fine — that's where we'll wail." The sellout crowd remained until the band began playing at 12:30 in the morning. Nearly four months after its cancellation by the American NBC TV network, Star Trek was introduced to British television viewers. Its run on BBC-1 began with the pilot episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (unlike the original US run, which had opted for "The Man Trap"). Filling in as a summer replacement for Doctor Who between the Doctor's sixth and seventh seasons, the programme was shown in the Doctor Who 5:15 p.m. time slot between afternoon sports and the 10-minute BBC news and weather update.[ The Soviet Union launched the unmanned lunar spacecraft Luna 15, three days before the scheduled liftoff of the American Apollo 11 manned mission to the Moon, with the objective of performing a sample-return mission and bringing back the first lunar soil (a "Moon rock") ahead of the United States Course corrections were done to place Luna 15 into lunar orbit at 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) altitude and on a different orbital plane than the Apollo 11 16.9 kilometres (10.5 mi) altitude above the lunar surface, and to land at the Mare Crisium after the American lunar module's landing at the Mare Tranquillitatis to depart first. However, what an author would describe later as something that "would have been an engineering triumph if it had worked" failed when Luna 15 crashed upon landing. One month before the Woodstock Festival rock concert was to take place, the zoning board of the town of Wallkill, New York, banned Woodstock Ventures from using land that the organizers had leased and had cleared [65]. The legendary rock concert would take place instead at a farm near Bethel, New York, 40 miles (64 km) away.[66]. A the time that the event had been barred from Wallkill, advance tickets had been sold at prices of up to $18.50 for all three days (equivalent to $128 in 2019), and the plan was to have music only during the hours between 2:00 in the afternoon to 2:00 the next morning. By the time Woodstock took place, most of the 400,000 people in attendance had gotten in without paying.
