Items the Hunters spent stolen Republican Party campaign funds on worthy of special mention:

• plane tickets for their family pet, Eggburt the rabbit

• “Couples” vacations. (quotation marks helpfully provided in the DoJ press release)
.
Last Week Tonight covered Duncan Hunters’s wife pleading guilty and cooperating with authorities after they allegedly misused Campaign funds on flights for Eggert the Rabbit et al. The funds used on Las Vegas travel spending was for the “couples” weekend.

Hunter’s lawyer objected to a focus on “spending of campaign funds for extramarital infidelities & excessive drinking.” Individuals 7 & 14-18 “had personal relationships with Duncan Hunter.” He blamed his wife for improper spending. She’s now flipped.

Line of the day from @TheJusticeDept: “willfully used campaign funds as their personal bank account for years, spending lavishly on things they could not afford, such as expensive trips...and even plane tickets for their family pet, Eggburt the rabbit.”

In the early 1970s, a new idea began to spread like wildfire through the US Protestant evangelical right - that the social and political upheavals which beset America during the 1960s had been caused by a literal geographic invasion of demons. amazon.com/Invasion-Demon…
I own this book. In it John Hagee - whose political endorsement was heavily courted by John McCain in the 2008 presidential election primaries - describes personally casting out demons, in the style of the movie "The Exorcist".
Hagee has fallen under the influence of the 1948 Latter Rain revival which proposed the Gnostic paradigm that when Adam & Eve had been cast out of the Garden, God also withdrew his protective force field from the Earth and that allowed a literal invasion of demons which...

Time has come for the lesson, "Who killed Anne Frank".

The lesson was originally taught by Doris Bergen, author of "Twisted Cross: The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich".

Do you think Hitler was the most responsible for the death of Anne Frank ?...
Who killed Anne Frank ?

It was an exercise Bergen designed for teachers in a course she was leading, for schoolteachers, that was called "Teaching The Diary Of Anne Frank", to raise their awareness of the "chain of complicity" that led to the Holocaust...
Bergen wrote out, on cards she passed out one by one to the teachers, "identities" of different people who each played a part in the death of Anne Frank - Hitler, Himmler, the person who snatched a scrap of bread from Anne Frank's hand in the concentration camp...

The Noor Salman trial resumed this morning with brief testimony of FBI Special Agent Ricardo Enriquez, who was on the stand all day yesterday.

Defense attorney Charles Swift showed news coverage thought to fit what Enriquez testified he saw on the day of the attack. #SalmanTrial
Ultimately, Enriquez testified he can;t be sure which news articles he read or which press conference he caught on television before conducting his interview with Noor Salman.

The defense appears to suggest he knew more than he admits going into that interview. #SalmanTrial
The next witness the prosecution brought on the stand is Aisha Muhammad, the mother of "Nemo."

Nemo is the friend Omar Mateen allegedly told Salman he was having dinner with the night of the attack. #SalmanTrial

So, Tzvika Brot and the #BudapestBridge.

Look at this, @ninaandtito @brazencapital @LincolnsBible @ushadrons
2/ Republicans Overseas Israel’s chief strategist was Tzvika Brot. So, yes, it's about Trump, but another important detail to note.
