Heat It Up
Calamity News and Politics, is a progressive blog based on the North Oregon Coast. Calamity is here to stimulate the political conversation. A little argument is good, if it can clear the air. Some chaos is good, if it helps us re-center. Investigation is good, if it leads to the truth.
Siding Up
There is a an unsavory connection between Putin and Trump. The House Intel Committee began hearings today with some very interesting testimony. The partisan divide was immediately clear. To me at least, the Republicans were leading a campaign to ferret out the folks leaking information, while the Democrats were on a mission to uncover a Russian spy network. The questioning hinted heavily of money, sex, cyber hacking, election tampering and sabotage. My suggestion to the lawmakers is, let it go guys. For everyone concerned, we need an Independent investigator or a Commission to get to the bottom of the Kremlin-Gate scandal. As scary as it may be, it is entirely possible that there is a Russian operative in the White House. A Manchurian Candidate.
