    It may well be but inflation is growing much faster than common wages.......so it maybe smoke & mirrors. Then there is the national debt......ballooning.

    Yes, he has. Brennan is an American patriot that has served the American citizens in both R & D Admins.

    Please post where the " fake" dossier was released prior to the election or any of the information obtained from your imaginary spy in the Trump campaign. Or actually for that matter post any evidence you have that the FBI released any information or documents to help Hillary. The only person helped was Trump with the stupid Comey memo about the Hillary Emails that proved later to be nothing.

    Here I will aid your education by posting the definition of news:

    news
    n(y)o͞oz/
    noun
    1. newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events.
      "I've got some good news for you"
      • a broadcast or published report of news.
        plural noun: the news
        "he was back in the news again"
        synonyms: report, announcement, story, account; More

      • informal
        information not previously known to someone.
        "this was hardly news to her"

        Don't thank me. Helping educate Conservatives is done as a public service.

    Well I am sure they are going to post the documentation that shows all the information released by the FBI to help Hillary. Or maybe not.

    Going to be hilarious waiting for the conspiracy theorists on this forum to find any proof that the Steele dossier supposedly fraudulently paid for by the deep state was released prior to the election To damage Trump's campaign

    Debating with Conservatives is like " taking candy from a baby". You almost feel bad doing it cause it is just so darned easy.

    It would be interesting someday, if we all compared notes and decided who the "true conservatives" were on here... I don't have a formal list, but I have 5-6 accounts I believe fall into that category....the rest?? Meh....

    Uranium One deal led to some exports to Europe, memos show
    TheHill.com




    After the Obama administration approved the sale of a Canadian mining company with significant U.S. uranium reserves to a firm owned by Russia’s government, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission assured Congress and the public the new owners couldn’t export any raw nuclear fuel from America’s shores.

    “No uranium produced at either facility may be exported,” the NRC declared in a November 2010 press release that announced that ARMZ, a subsidiary of the Russian state-owned Rosatom, had been approved to take ownership of the Uranium One mining firm and its American assets.

    A year later, the nuclear regulator repeated the assurance in a letter to Sen. John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican in whose state Uranium One operated mines.

    “Neither Uranium One Inc. nor AMRZ holds a specific NRC export license. In order to export uranium from the United States, Uranium One Inc. or ARMZ would need to apply for and obtain a specific NRC license authorizing the exports of uranium for use in reactor fuel,” then-NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko wrote to Barrasso.
    The NRC never issued an export license to the Russian firm, a fact so engrained in the narrative of the Uranium One controversy that it showed up in The Washington Post’s official fact-checker site this week. “We have noted repeatedly that extracted uranium could not be exported by Russia without a license, which Rosatom does not have,” the Post reported on Monday, linking to the 2011 Barrasso letter.

    Yet NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium — the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons — from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.

    NRC officials said they could not disclose the total amount of uranium that Uranium One exported because the information is proprietary. They did, however, say that the shipments only lasted from 2012 to 2014 and that they are unaware of any exports since then.

    NRC officials told The Hill that Uranium One exports flowed from Wyoming to Canada and on to Europe between 2012 and 2014, and the approval involved a process with multiple agencies.

    Rather than give Rosatom a direct export license — which would have raised red flags inside a Congress already suspicious of the deal — the NRC in 2012 authorized an amendment to an existing export license for a Paducah, Ky.-based trucking firm called RSB Logistics Services Inc. to simply add Uranium One to the list of clients whose uranium it could move to Canada.

    The license, reviewed by The Hill, is dated March 16, 2012, and it increased the amount of uranium ore concentrate that RSB Logistics could ship to the Cameco Corp. plant in Ontario from 7,500,000 kilograms to 12,000,000 kilograms and added Uranium One to the “other parties to Export.”

    The move escaped notice in Congress.

    Officials at RSB, Cameco and Rosatom did not return repeated phone calls or emails seeking comment.

    Uranium One's American arm, however, emailed a statement to The Hill on Wednesday evening confirming it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia, stressing all the exports complied with federal law.

    “None of the US U308 product produced to date has been sold to non-US customers except for approximately 25% which was sold via book transfer at the conversion facilities to customers from Western Europe and Asia," executive Donna Wickers said. “Any physical export of the product from conversion facilities to non-US destinations is under the control of such customers and subject to NRC regulation.”

    The United States actually imports the majority of the uranium it uses as fuel. In 2016, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 24 percent of the imports came from Kazakhstan and 14 percent came from Russia.

    The sale of Uranium One to a Russian state-owned firm, however, has created political waves that have led to multiple congressional investigations. Republicans say they want to learn how the sale could have been approved and whether there was political interference.



    “The more that surfaces about this deal, the more questions it raises," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement released after this story was published. Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has launched an investigation into Uranium One.

    "It now appears that despite pledges to the contrary, U.S. uranium made its way overseas as a part of the Uranium One deal," Grassley said in the statement. "What’s more disturbing, those transactions were apparently made possible by various Obama Administration agencies while the Democrat-controlled Congress turned a blind eye.

    “Americans deserve assurances that political influence was not a factor in all this. I’m increasingly convinced that a special counsel — someone with no prior involvement in any of these deals — should shine a light on this ordeal and get answers for the American people.”

    It's hard to say. They can't believe anything without trumps approval and they must defend everything that he says and does. I think they fall somewhere outside of the political spectrum. And I think they'd be proud of it.

    Yes that proves that none of it went to Russia or the enemies of the US. Guess we are done with another piece of anti Hillary nonsense. Unless of course it is now treason to supply raw materials to our allies in which case we better stop selling coal, and oil overseas.

    Gee another person trying to duck a legitimate issue by hollering troll. If the pro Trump people on this forum aren't Conservatives where are they on the political spectrum? Or are they just poor pathetic gullable fools following what they think is an alpha male.

    That belief cannot be logically supported. And therein is the problem here.

    If russia can actually make the difference in who becomes president, we are giving russia much more credit than they deserve. For unless they hacked voting machines, and changed votes, without us knowing about it, there is no way in hell russia is that powerful. Rationality, logic, reason, which is sorely missing in this matter. It has been taken into the realm of hysterics. Driven by nothing but politics and sore losers.

    And that is what we are actually looking at.

    That makes the obviously ridiculous assumption that the only way to influence the vote is to actually change the vote tally.

    Sorry, there is no way to determine the amount of influence Russia did or didn't have on the election. However, it is clearly established that they did influence.
