I asked my real estate daughter, mother of Blake and Dagny above, could I post this letter from one of her clients and she said I could.  Abby has been exceptionally successful as a realtor in the Orlando area and has worked her way up the ladder because she is creative, a hard worker dedicated to giving the best service and I am very proud of her accomplishments.

In the movie 5 to 7, which I have beseeched my memo readers to watch, you have a clash between two cultures but a sweet one.

In Germany you have a culture class of another kind and one should ask is it a wake up call? (See 1 below.)

 "Yesterday, at the hospital, we had a meeting about how the situation here and at the other Munich hospitals are unsustainable.

Clinics  cannot handle the number of migrant medical emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the main hospitals.

Many Muslims are refusing treatment by female staff, and we women are now refusing to go among those migrants!

Relations between the staff and migrants are going from bad to worse.

Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units.

Many migrants have AIDS, syphilis, open TB and many exotic diseases that we, in Europe, do not know how to treat.

If they receive a prescription to the pharmacy, they suddenly learn they have to pay cash. This leads to  unbelievable outbursts, especially when it is about drugs for the children.

They abandon the children with pharmacy staff with the  words: So, cure them here  yourselves! So the police are not just guarding the clinics and hospitals, but also the large pharmacies.

We ask openly where are all those who welcomed the migrants in front of TV cameras with signs at train  stations? Yes, for now, the border has been closed, but a million of  them are already here and we will definitely not be able to get rid of them.

Until now, the number of unemployed in Germany was 2.2 million. Now it will be at least 3.5 million. Most of these people are completely unemployable.

Only a small minimum of them have any education. What is more, their  women usually do not work at all. I estimate that one in ten is  pregnant.

Hundreds of thousands of them have brought along infants and little kids under six, many emaciated and very needy. If this  continues and Germany re-opens its borders, I am going home to the  Czech Republic. Nobody can keep me here in this situation, not even for double the salary back home. I came to Germany to work, not to Africa or the Middle East!

Even the professor who heads our department told us how sad it makes him to see the cleaning woman, who has cleaned every day for years for  800 euros and then meets crowds of young men in the hallways who  just wait with their hands outstretched, wanting everything for free,  and when they don't get it they throw a fit.

I really don't need this! But I am afraid that if I return home, at some point it will be the same in the Czech Republic. 

If the Germans, with their systems, cannot handle this, then, guaranteed, back  home will be total chaos.....

You - who have not come in contact with these people have absolutely no idea what kind of badly behaved desperadoes these people are, and how Muslims act superior to our staff, regarding their religious accommodation.

For now, the local hospital staff have not come down with the disease these people brought here, but with so many hundreds of patients everyday of this nature it is just a question of time. In a hospital near the Rhine, migrants attacked the staff with knives after they had handed over an 8-month-old on the brink of death, who they'd dragged across half of Europe for three months.

The child died two days later, despite having received top care at one of the best pediatric clinics in Germany. The pediatric physician had to undergo surgery and the two nurses are recovering in the ICU. Nobody has
been punished.

*The local press is forbidden to write about it, *so we can only inform you through email. What would have happened to a German if he had stabbed the doctor and nurses with a knife? Or if he had flung his own syphilis-infected urine into a nurses face and so threatened her
with infection?

At a minimum he would have gone straight to jail and later  to court. With these people so far, nothing has happened.

> And so I ask: Where are all those greeters and receivers from the  train stations? Sitting pretty at home, enjoying their uncomplicated,safe lives.

If it were up to me, I would round up all those greeters and bring them here first to our hospitals emergency ward as attendants!

 Then to one of the buildings housing the migrants, so they can really look after them without armed police  and police dogs, who, sadly today, are in every hospital here in Bavaria."

*Is this "situation" a harbinger for America?*

What’s Next in FBI Oversight

For the public to learn what Congress knows, Trump must order the documents released.

By Kimberley Strassel

James Comey gave his follow-up testimony to Congress this week, in which he continued to profess memory loss about most of the 2016 investigation of the Trump campaign. Then again, the joke was on the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thanks to two years of dogged investigation, House Republicans already know the story of the FBI’s 2016 doings. Mr. Comey wasn’t there to provide new details. He was there to account for his actions.
That’s the crowning achievement of this 115th Congress. Tax and criminal-justice reform and judicial appointments are all hugely important. But House and Senate investigators get pride of place for unraveling one of the greatest dirty tricks of our political times, in which a Democratic administration, party and presidential campaign either co-opted or fooled the FBI into investigating the Republican campaign. Lawmakers got to the bottom of this despite partisan attacks and institutional obstruction. Congress has taken that probe about as far as was ever going to be possible. The next steps are up to the White House.
In January 2017, CNN reported the explosive news that “classified documents” from a “credible” “former British intelligence operative” alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians. It sounded bad and set off a hysteria that led to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the firing of national security adviser Mike Flynn, the launching of half a dozen investigations, and the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Senior officials, including Mr. Comey, watched all this in full knowledge of the dossier’s provenance. They said nothing.
It was left to the House Intelligence Committee, under Chairman Devin Nunes, to extract the real story: that the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired opposition-research firm Fusion GPS, which in turn retained a British gun-for-hire (Christopher Steele) to compile the so-called dossier; that Fusion injected this into the FBI, the Justice Department and the State Department; that this political dirt was a part of the FBI’s decision to launch an unprecedented counterintelligence investigation (which included human informants) into a presidential campaign; that this dirt was also the basis for a surveillance warrant against former Trump aide Carter Page; that the “credible” Mr. Steele was fired by the FBI; and that the FBI withheld the most sordid details from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which granted said warrant. And we separately know the Obama administration was engaged in the unmasking of U.S. citizens and leaking of classified information.
Congressional Republicans have the names, the actions, a timeline and the documents. The main elements are all there, and it’s thorough. Investigators tell me the only major open question is the role of Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious Maltese academic who approached then-Trump adviser George Papadopoulos in the spring of 2016. It’s unclear who, if anyone, Mr. Mifsud was allied with in that venture—the feds, the oppo players, former or current British intelligence? Congressional investigators were unable to track him down for an interview.
Yet the public doesn’t have this full story yet—because Congress isn’t authorized to tell the key remaining parts, which are classified. According to congressional Republicans, those documents—FBI interview summaries, the Page warrant application, internal Justice Department communications that explain who knew what and when—contain even more explosive revelations. More importantly, they will help answer the question of whether anyone broke laws, for example by lying to a federal court or to Congress. Some Republicans believe the release would be sufficient to justify a Justice Department investigation.
Which is why the interviews a joint House Judiciary and Oversight task force has been holding since summer are so important. The task force has been working its way through key players—former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI counsel James Baker, Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Mr. Comey and others. (One pity is that the task force didn’t make it through more of the 40 names Mr. Nunes sent it.) But these interviews haven’t necessarily been about eliciting new information. They’ve been as much about getting a formal accounting from the central actors, claims that can be held up against the information when it is finally released.
That also explains why House investigators haven’t released an official report on their findings. They know the story, but they can’t tell it comprehensively until President Trump follows through and declassifies the relevant documents. The president is said to be waiting for the Mueller probe and prosecutions to end. But why? This is about transparency. The president also owes it to these lawmakers, who began the hard work of investigating the 2016 election, to finally allow them to finish it.
