Government Shutdown Avoided After House Votes To Aid Flint
The Head
Of Justice Department’s National Security Steps Down
JOHN P. CARLIN
The head of the Justice De- partment’s National Security Di- vision is stepping down next month to pursue a career in the private sector, the Washington Post reports.
John P. Carlin, 43, is the youngest and longest-serving head of the NSD. He oversaw the prosecution arising out of the 2013 Boston Marathon bomb- ing, and his department initiated the first case combining charges of hacking and terrorism.
Carlin’s departure was an- nounced Tuesday, as NSD marks the 1oth anniversary of its creation in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Carlin previously served as chief of staff to former FBI Di- rector Robert S Mueller. Car- lin was named acting assistant attorney general in March 2013, and he was confirmed in the spring of 2014.
Carlin is leaving to pursue a job in the private sector. His last day is Oct. 15.
Hillary Clinton Goes To Church To Take Her Message To Black People
HILLARY CLINTON
Congress approved Wednes- day a deal that could provide assistance to Flint’s lead-cont- aminated water crisis and helped avert a shutdown of the federal government later this week.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House voted 284-141 Wednesday evening to ap- prove a measure that author- izes spending $170 million on infrastructure improvements under the Water Resources Development Act for commu- nities such as Flint with public health emergencies due to contaminated drinking water.
The Michigan delegation voted for the amendment, sponsored by U.S. Reps. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township, and John Moolenaar, R- Midland, with the exception of Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cas- cade Township, who voted “present.”
The House then voted over- whelmingly to approve the un- derlying water resources bill, which will be reconciled after the Nov. 8 election with a piece of Senate legislation contain- ing up to $220 million in Flint- inspired aid, including $100 million for infrastructure as- sistance for which Flint would qualify.
Moolenaar called the Flint aid vote a great victory, saying it reflected “a story of Michi- gan delegation effort.”
Gov. Rick Snyder said congressional action moves
Michigan a step closer to fed- eral funding to help Flint.
Late Wednesday, Congress sent President Barack Obama a bill to keep the gov- ernment operating through Dec. 9 and provide $1.1 billion in long-delayed funding to bat- tle the Zika virus.
The House cleared the meas- ure by a 342-85 vote just hours after a bipartisan Senate tally.
The hybrid spending meas- ure was Capitol Hill’s last major to-do item before the election and its completion al- lows lawmakers to jet home to campaign to save their jobs.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In a humble church with a familiar name, Little Rock A.M.E. Zion, Hillary Clinton on Sunday made a passionate case for po- lice reform and a direct appeal to the city's Black voters, whose support she needs to win this swing state.
Less than two weeks after the death of Keith Lamont Scott, a Black man killed by police, Mrs. Clinton arrived Sunday morning with a mes- sage of sympathy for a grieving community and political promises, including “end to end reform in our criminal jus- tice system — not half-mea- sures, but full measures.”
She acknowledged that when it comes to understand- ing the plight of Black families in America, she will never be
able to replicate the symbolic empathy of President Barack Obama.
“I’m a grandmother, but my worries are not the same as Black grandmothers who have different and deeper fears about the world that their grandchildren face,” Clinton said. “I wouldn’t be able to stand it if my grandchildren had to be scared and worried, the way too many children across our country feel right now."
Clinton’s visit to Charlotte was critical — she was so eager to visit that the campaign an- nounced a trip last Sunday, when the city was still grap- pling with violent protests and looting. The trip was ulti- mately delayed by a week at the request of local lawmakers.
Trump’s New D. C. Hotel Vandalized
Trash Keeps Flowing From Former New York Mayor’s Mouth
In the newest edition of petty politics, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giu- liani claims Hillary Clinton doesn’t possess intellect to be president, and used Monica Lewinsky, the infamous for- mer White House intern who had an affair with Bill Clin- ton, as proof of her inade- quacy to potentially do the job.

RUDY GIULIANI
Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton violated her that
she was telling the truth, then you’re too stupid to be presi- dent,” Giuliani said.
The tasteless comment came after Monday night’s de- bate, (Sept. 26) which CNN re- ports as the most watched debate in U.S. history, bring- ing in a total of 80. 6 million viewers.
Giuliani came to Trump’s defense by stating the Republican presidential candidate was too much of a gentlemen to bring up Clin- ton’s past sexual scandal, and claims by not talking about Lewinsky, Trump is in fact a feminist.
The brand spanking new Trump Hotel in Washington D.C. just got a paint job cour- tesy of those who believe that Black Lives Matter, most likely in the wee hours of the morn- ing Friday night or Saturday morning.
The words “Black Lives Mat- ter” and “No Justice No Peace” were spray painted at one of the entrances of the new hotel. Workers at the hotel covered up the messages with pieces of
plywood on Saturday morn- ing, giving the classy hotel a rundown, Skid Row kinda look.
The new Trump hotel in Washington officially opened less than three weeks ago in the Old Post Office space.
The Republican candidate for president has said in the past that the Black Lives Mat- ter movement has been “a fuse-lighter in the assassina- tions of police officers.”
