What Is Surefire Intelligence And Why Does The Phone Go To Jacob Wohl's Mom?
This is a really weird story and I am not quite sure where to start, so I will begin in the most logical place:
Earlier today news broke about a plot launched by a GOP operative, Jack Burkman, to manufacture and pay off at least one woman to lie and say that Robert Mueller sexually harassed her back in the 1970's while she worked for him as a paralegal at a private law firm. As soon as the story hit the news, the Special Counsel's representative confirmed that upon learning of this false story, they referred it to the FBI for investigation.
Jacob Wohl is another player in this story, a moron (or a "child" as Elle Magazine correctly describes him as) and failed hedge fund manager (who was reportedly banned for life from the National Futures Association early in his career).
Even though he denies it, Jacob associated with a company called "Surefire Intelligence", a shady company that states it was “founded by two members of Israel’s elite intelligence community” and that they can be hired for “counter intelligence,” “private spies,” and “ethical hackers.”
WUT.
Ok, let's take a look at the staff of this "company":
The Managing Partner, Matthew Cohen, sure looks a lot like...Jacob Wohl

FBI Investigating Fabricated Sexual Harassment Claims Against Mueller
Republicans are really desperate to discredit Special Counsel, Bob Mueller. How desperate? The latest stunt appears to be an effort to capitalize on the MeToo movement of holding powerful men who are accused of sexual harassment accountable and bringing them to justice years, or even decades, later.
But in this case the story appears to be completely false.
The Atlantic is reporting that the alleged scheme involving women lying about sexual assault and harassment allegations against Special Counsel, Bob Mueller has already been sent over to the FBI for investigation. Peter Carr, the spokesman for the Special Counsel's office said:
“When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation.”
The scheme was brought to the attention of Mueller's office by a woman who said that she had been offered money to make fabricate sexual harassment claims against Mueller. In addition to the woman's claims, numerous journalists also reached out to the stating that the woman had contacted them, claiming that she had been offered $20,000 by a person claiming to work for a GOP operative named Jack Burkman and that she was supposed to "make accusations of sexual misconduct and workplace harassment against Robert Mueller."

GOP's McSally Whines: 'I'm Getting My Ass Kicked Over My Repeal Obamacare Vote'
Republican Senate candidate Martha McSally (R-AZ) complained in a recent interview that she is getting her “ass kicked” because she voted to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.
McSally made the admission during a recent interview with conservative radio host Sean Hannity, AZCentral reported.
“Well, Sean, I did vote to repeal and replace Obamacare on that House bill — I’m getting my ass kicked for it right now because it’s being misconstrued by the Democrats,” she said. “They’re trying to, you know, invoke fear in people who have family members or loved ones with pre-existing conditions.”
McSally has repeatedly voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which is known as “Obamacare.”
In 2017, she voted for a Republican plan called the American Health Care Act. The bill would have repealed the existing health care law, allowing insurance companies to reject people with pre-existing conditions. The Congressional Budget Office determined that the legislation would have resulted in 23 million fewer Americans having health insurance.

After Trump's Massive Tax Cuts For The Wealthy, Stock Market Gains For 2018 Collapsed
On America's Newsroom, co-host Sandra Smith was horrified that this month's stock market sell off is the worst month the U.S. has had since 2010, when the country was climbing out of the Great Recession.
This is alarming," Smith worried. "The Dow is on pace for its worst month since 2010. It has not been a good October."
"It has not been a good October," Charlie Payne agreed. "We've had one hell of a run, we're under some pressure right now."
Charles said he felt shakier yesterday, but today is a new day.
Then Payne tried to spin the huge decline in the markets away from Trump, his self-inflicted trade wars, and his massive tax cuts for the wealthy to say investors were nervous the Democrats might take back the House. (Hint: He must not know the word "TARIFFS")
It's odd how Trump and the GOP rarely mention during the run-up to the midterms how their massive tax cut giveaway to the rich has been such a success. It hasn't.
And they aren't helping all Americans like they promised. Instead he's touting the stock market from two years ago, when Barack Obama was still president.
The Stock Market is up massively since the Election, but is now taking a little pause - people want to see what happens with the Midterms. If you want your Stocks to go down, I strongly suggest voting Democrat. They like the Venezuela financial model, High Taxes & Open Borders!

Fox News Panelist Wants Feds To Pay To Arm Places Of Worship
Fox News' Rachel Campos-Duffy, wife of Rep.Sean Duffy and a supposed conservative who shills for the NRA wants the feds to pay for churches and synagogues to be armed if they can't afford them.
After Trump said the Pittsburgh synagogue should have had an armed guard to prevent 11 people from being killed by an anti-Semite with an AR-15, Duffy-Campos thought it was a splendid idea for the federal government to foot the bill for guns and guards.
Campos said, "I think it has to be up to the church or the synagogue with the temple to go we want this -- I think the federal government should step in for churches and synagogues who can't afford that kind of protection, let's give it to them."
In Christianity Today they report there are as many as 384,000 religious congregations in 2012.
Just imagine arming all other congregations, temples churches offshoots while also wanting to arm every school in America. It's crazy talk from stupid people.
