Clintons Threatened Attorney

General With Her Life..Page 7
House Republicans asked the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on Monday to investigate Hillary Clinton
over her private email server while serving as secretary of state and determine whether she lied to Congress. "In light
of those contradictions, the department should investigate and determine whether to prosecute Secretary Clinton for
violating statutes that prohibit perjury and false statements to Congress, or any other relevant statutes," the two congressmen wrote. Last October, in testimony to the House Benghazi panel, Clinton said she never sent or received
emails marked as classified when she served as secretary of state. She also has said she only used one mobile device
for emails and turned over all her work-related emails to the State Department. FBI Director James Comey said she
had multiple devices and investigators found thousands of work-related emails that had not been turned over, telling
Congress last week that three of her emails carried classified markings. The two congressmen also call in their letter
for Comey to answer a number of questions hovering over the FBIs conclusion regarding its investigation and how
his definition of Clintons actions, extreme carelessness, is not synonymous with gross negligence. The GOP
convention begins July 18. The Democratic convention is a week later. Referrals from Congress don't automatically
result in full-fledged investigations, but they have spurred some notable criminal probes and indictments.

Editorial

The EMERALD STAR NEWS Inc.

The Wolfes Den

Hello fellow readers. I hope this finds you doing
much better than the week before. We have been on a
circus ride of Lies and deceit when it comes from
any political agenda. The amount of news that comes
is so fast and half of it is untrue. Did you know the Govt. regulates what you see on TV
news? Exception to that is Foxx news. Same as Donald Trump, no one talks good of them
for it rubs the establishment the wrong way. But look who is speaking the truths?
Anyone else notice how many people have either come up missing or even committed
suicide when they are announced to testify against the Clintons? Even Eric Snowden was
charged for 1/10th of what Hillary has been accused of. Somehow in the statement, the
FBI stated 24 minutes of reasonable negligence of our nations security, etc, etc. Then
with the next 2 sentences goes against the evidence and advises to NOT prosecute this
Liar? Way too much video for her to deny anything she said. And those E-mails?
How many times have you seen them match up what she Lied to Congress about and the
Lies she stated to the Public and now the FBI after a year and a half of investigating
choose to do nothing? Even as a movie, this action sucks. For if the Law is written and
enforced on so many others, why not her? Rumor has it they will kill you if you step on
their shoes. I bet if they would use water-board tactics as she is an enemy of our nation,
she would sing like a bird. Probably would even send her hubby down the river too!

And now this? Military Purge: Barack H. Obama Says Obey

Him, Not the Constitution! We are in the gravest of situations. Our military
once the most powerful in the world is crumbling. Obama is purging every branch of the
US armed forces at an alarming rate. Hes deliberately crippling our military, setting them
up for failure and defeat. Through his actions he is rapidly demoralizing our troops en
masse, creating a dangerous situation at home and abroad, leaving our troops, our country
and we citizens open to attack.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, recipient of the U.S. militarys highest decoration,
the Medal of Honor, as well as other top retired officers, say Obamas agenda is decimating the morale of the U.S. ranks to the point members no longer feel prepared to fight or
have the desire to win. Our Army has not trained for six months. Meanwhile there is
tremendous domestic and foreign unrest taking place. To have the Chief of Staff of the
Army confess to the world that our Army has not trained for six months is highly disturbing, says former Florida Congressman Allen West. [It] should make us all sleep less
soundly at night.
Since Obama took office an unprecedented number of top military leaders have been removed from their posts nearly 200 generals, flag officers and other high-ranking officials. They are being removed at a rate of about one per week. Allen West, who served
on the House Armed Services Committee, is calling for hearings to determine exactly
why so many officers, especially senior officers, are being given the boot.
Sadly, it seems the greatest force our military is facing is not that of the foreign enemy but
the enemy within? The one in the White House that is actively purging our military.
One top military official, Ret. Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely has been very outspoken
on what he calls a purge of the U.S. military by the Obama administration a stunning
nine generals and flag officers relieved of duty this year alone. There have been mass
firings, suspensions and dismissals, for which Vallely also blames Obamas closest
adviser, Valerie Jarrett. With Jarretts influence there is rampant political correctness
which is permeating the military and negatively affecting everyone from top generals to
the ranks of the enlisted. It is frightening to hear what Vallely and others like him have to
say. For instance, Vallely maintains that Obama is intentionally weakening and gutting
our military, Pentagon and reducing the U.S. as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks
who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.
Now, instead of continuing with military operations as they should, senior officers have
been reduced to glorified babysitters, having to watch everything their military personnel
say and do. Its been described by those with intimate military operations knowledge and
experience as the equivalent of political commissars from the Communist era.
Military moral has hit an historic low. Add to that the $1.3 trillion thats been cut from the
Pentagon budget. Drastic cuts are resulting in the elimination or slowing of modernization
programs, reducing maintenance of worn-out weapons systems and other equipment, diminishing training and cutting back in benefits. Do you know that the Pentagon ordered
commissary privileges at all of the militarys 178 U.S. and 70 foreign bases CUT? Our
combat-ready brigades have been reduced to just two. Yes, you read that right just
two. Weve also lost an unprecedented number of lives under the iron-fisted rule of
Obama. His Rules of Engagement have resulted in very high casualty rates in Afghanistan, including the loss of 17 members of SEAL Team 6 in one incident. Think of the
thought perversion in Washington: disrespect the military, cut lifelines to active duty military and cut benefits to veterans but push for amnesty so that 11 million or more illegals
suck at the welfare and healthcare through. It is all very wrong.

Letter to the EDITOR:

"Call To Action" Let's face it, if our leaders in Congress can't
come together around Donald Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton,
we don't need them. They are a liability and there legacy will
be nothing. We should completely get rid of them, all of them.
If we loose this election it will be on there backs. We have
given them our candidate, Donald Trump! If they dont unite
behind him and they cause us to loose the most important election in history, WE DO NOT NEED THEM! They become
dead weight because all is lost. If it comes down to the end in
November and they don't stand up and fight hard for WE THE
PARTY we should not vote for them. Do not donate to any
canidate who doesn't enthusiastically endorse Donald Trump or
show up too the people's convention. We should pull the lever
for Trump and not vote at all for Congressional seats. We have
got to send a lasting lesson. You work for us. You serve the
people. We need to let them know now where they stand and
what we expect from those who serve.
There will be consequences.
Ret. Msgt J. Helms USAF

Can Pokemon Go improve your mental health? Maybe.

The game, which was released
last week, has quickly become a
viral social phenomenon, and
already, dozens of players
called trainers have taken to
Twitter to tell the world how
much better they feel after
spending hours walking around chasing the virtual creatures that pop up
on their smartphones.HiRez David, it turns out, is a 26-year-old year
events producer for a video game company in Alpharetta, Ga. He
describes himself as a textbook introvert who needs time to mentally
psych himself up before hanging out with other people. A few years
ago, he says he went through a rough patch and needed regular
prescription meds to help him deal with some crippling anxiety.
So when he spent hours outside this weekend walking around and
playing Pokemon Go with friends, it was definitely out of character.
I spend more than 80% of my weekends at home, usually, he says.
Its really weird to think that I spent more time out of the house this
weekend than I spent in the house.How does it work? The game is a
free app thats designed to be downloaded to a smartphone. It uses GPS
and the phones camera to direct players, called trainers, to the Pokemon creatures that appear to pop up in the real world. Once alerted to a
location, the game requires trainers to walk to capture the creatures.
Many fans say theyre already addicted, logging miles each day on a
quest to catch them all. Others are complaining about sore muscles
from all the exercise theyre getting.

Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) to

address a third legal change affecting Floridas
workers compensation system. This amended
filing increases NCCIs initial proposed combined average rate increase from 17.1% to 19.6%.
Individual projected rate impacts for all three
recent legal changes include the following:

A 2.2% projected rate increase for the June

9th Florida Supreme Court decision in the case of
Westphal v. City of St. Petersburg (Westphal), in
which the Florida Supreme Court found the 104week statutory limitation on temporary total disability benefits in Section 440.15(2)(a), Florida
Statutes, unconstitutional because it causes a
statutory gap in benefits in violation of an injured
workers constitutional right of access to courts.
The Supreme Court reinstated the 260-week limitation in effect prior to the 1994 law change.

A 15% projected rate increase for the April

28th Florida Supreme Court decision in the case of
Castellanos v. Next Door Company (Castellanos),
which found the mandatory attorney fee schedule
in Section 440.34, Florida Statutes, unconstitutional as a violation of due process under both the
Florida and United States Constitutions.

A 1.8% projected rate increase related to

updates within the Florida Workers Compensation Health Care Provider Reimbursement Manual (HCPR Manual) per Senate Bill 1402. The
manual becomes effective on July 1, 2016.
NCCI is proposing an effective date of October 1,
2016 for new and renewal workers compensation
policies and that the 19.6% rate increase apply to
all workers compensation policies in effect as of
October 1, 2016 on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of each policys term.
The Office has scheduled a public rate hearing
for August 16, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. to give NCCI an
opportunity to discuss the filing and interested
parties and other stakeholders the ability to provide testimony or comments. The hearing will be
held in the Jim King Committee Room, 401 Senate Office Building, 404 South Monroe Street,
Tallahassee, Florida. A media advisory with more
details will be released at a later date.
NCCI is a licensed rating organization authorized
to make rate filings on behalf of workers compensation insurance companies in Florida. For
more information about the amended rate filing,

Greetings from the Mayors office..

Hope everyone is staying cool these days, only a couple of more months
until it begins to cool down a bit.
The Veterans Memorial Committee is working very hard to raise money
for the new added addition to the existing monuments, they are adding the
Heros Walk to the backside of the existing monument, bricks can be
purchased for veterans and the applications can be picked up at city hall
and the dedication of the new monument will be at this years Veterans
Memorial Ceremony in November.
The city council will begin in the near future to work from Ipads for the
council meetings reducing the cost of paper that is currently being used as
we become more tech savvy moving into the future. The city audit has
been completed and all seems to be in place with their findings, we will be
reviewing it at the next council scheduled council meeting. The next scheduled budget workshop is scheduled for July 21, at 6:00 pm, at the city hall,
anyone who would like to come and hear the budget being discussed for
the departments is welcome. The council had the reading of the Watson
Freeport Large Scale Amendment and Re-Zoning. The reading and adoption of the Fire Assessment Tax Ordinance was read and adopted and the
county will be assessing the bills beginning October 1. Contract updates
on the 331 project was presented by the city engineers and the search is on
for finding funding for this project. The city of Freeport received a grant
for $32,000 from the Department of Economic Opportunity for the recreation department and we are most delighted for being chosen to receive
this.
Councilwoman Cuchens is currently working on a Florida Community
Trust Grant up to $10 million for land acquisition and we hope this will be
something that we can be a part of as well so that we will be able to acquire some land for future projects. The Shops of Freeport is moving with
great stride and the plantings are being installed in the parking lot as well
as the faced being completed on the front of the building. There are a couple of business that have been announced to come into the shopping center
one being Great Clips and the other DiLishi Yogurt and Coffee Shop. We
will make announcements as we learn more. Please remember to take advantage of the city pool they are open every day except on Wednesdays
and Sunday. Any questions or comments please give me a call or drop by.

The Florida Department of Health in Walton County (DOH-Walton) today advised residents there has
been an increase in mosquito-borne disease activity in areas of Walton County. A horse has tested positive for Eastern
equine encephalitis in North Walton. The risk of transmission to humans has increased. Walton County Mosquito Control
and (DOH-Walton) continue surveillance and prevention efforts. DOH-Walton reminds residents and visitors to avoid
being bitten by mosquitoes and to take basic precautions to help limit exposure.
To protect yourself from mosquitoes, you should remember to Drain and Cover:
DRAIN standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying.

Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected. Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances
and other items that aren't being used. Empty and clean birdbaths and pet's water bowls at least once or twice a week.

Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that dont accumulate water. Maintain swimming pools in good
condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
COVER skin with clothing or repellent.
Clothing - Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who
must work in areas where mosquitoes are present. Repellent - Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing.
Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para-menthanediol, and IR3535 are effective. Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
Tips on Repellent Use Always read label directions carefully for the approved usage before you apply a repellent. Some
repellents are not suitable for children. Products with concentrations of up to 30 percent DEET (N, N-diethyl-mtoluamide) are generally recommended. Other U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-approved repellents contain
picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para-menthane-diol, or IR3535. These products are generally available at local pharmacies. Look for active ingredients to be listed on the product label. Apply insect repellent to exposed skin, or onto clothing, but not under clothing. In protecting children, read label instructions to be sure the repellent is age-appropriate. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mosquito repellents containing oil of lemon eucalyptus
should not be used on children under the age of three years. DEET is not recommended on children younger than two
months old. Avoid applying repellents to the hands of children. Adults should apply repellent first to their own hands and
then transfer it to the childs skin and clothing.
If additional protection is necessary, apply a permethrin repellent directly to your clothing. Again, always follow the
manufacturers directions.
COVER doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on
windows, doors, porches, and patios. For more information on what repellent is right for you, consider using the Environmental Protection Agencys search tool to help you choose skin-applied repellent products: http://cfpub.epa.gov/oppref/
insect/#searchform. The Department continues to conduct statewide surveillance for mosquito-borne illnesses, including
West Nile virus infections, Eastern equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, malaria, chikungunya and dengue. Residents of Florida are encouraged to report dead birds via the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissions site http://legacy.myfwc.com/bird/default.asp.

Happenings in DeFuniak Springs

Clintons Threatened Attorney General With Her Life
Attorney General Loretta Lynch was threatened by Bill Clinton, according to a Department of Justice
source, which then set in motion an obvious and ridiculous chain of events that culminated in
Hillary Clinton being let off the hook, despite FBI Director James Comey essentially stating that she
broke the law.
The chain of events was so ridiculous that the beleaguered Attorney General Loretta Lynch even
attempted a joke, saying that she wished she knew where the lock on the plane door was when Bill
Clinton was striding along the tarmac toward her plane.
Loretta was shitting bricks after that meeting. Suddenly we had a whole new strategy, and things
moved fast.
I cant believe people cant see it for what it was, its so obvious and ridiculous, the Department of
Justice insider said.
It was just a f***ing mess in the Department. Everybody, including the FBI, did a U-turn.n addition, Congressman John Mica also referred to the fishy nature of the chain of events while questioning FBI Director John Comey about the scandal in the House of Representatives.
My folks think there is something fishy about this. Im not a conspiracy theorist, but there are a lot
of questions on how this came down.
he moment the unwanted meeting between the Attorney General and Bill Clinton was over, the
wheels started whirring at high speed and the mechanisms to get Hillary off the hook were set in
rapid motion.
The FBI interviewed Hillary Clinton without placing her under oath and without recording the interview. Obama campaigned with Hillary on Air Force One to distract attention. Then the FBI cagily
said Hillary was guilty in their eyes, but recommended against pressing charges.
Less than a week after the Attorney General was allegedly threatened, Hillary was free to continue
her White House push, despite clearly being guilty of some of the same crimes Edward Snowden has
been charged with.

Parrish, Heather has consistently shown patience and persistence in her interactions with

HRMC Chief of Operations Gerald Beard agrees. Heather performs her duties without fanfare or a brass band. She quietly goes
about her business in a professional and efficient way. In todays
health care climate, anyone who can interact with multiple health

Holistic Doctor/Professor Found Stabbed To

Death In Her Home
Dr Rasmussen, who taught classes on the subjects of biology (and
nutrition as described below) was stabbed more than thirty times and found
dead in her Plymouth home this past week. She was 76 and a devoted
grandmother, and former foster mother to at least 20 kids, said her daughter.
This case reminds us, in some ways, of the very recent tragic case of Dr Han.
He and his family were found dead in their home just weeks ago, and soon
thereafter authorities said a young, white male was the suspect. That particular
suspect (now arrested) had no prior record either, and lived with his father who
was EX CIA.
Then there was the case of the Osteopath who was also stabbed to death in her
Pennsylvania home just months ago. There are allegedly no suspects in her
death and, as in this case, no motive.
In regard to the tragic death of Dr Rasmussen, police are searching for suspect
Tyler Hagmaier, 24, who was a neighbor. It has been alleged that he is
mentally unstable, though at least one relative of Hagmaiers said that she,
had no information about any mental health problems he may have dealt
with.We are trying to see if Hagmaier has ever had a record of being violent
with anyone in his past or what possible motive he would have to murder such
a great Professor and chiropractor. The Boston Globe said authorities
stated he was never arrested or charged with anything in the past.
We will continue to report on this and are so sorry for the loss of a woman
who sounds like she was a wonderful Professor, chiropractor, grandmother
and mother to many. The entire holistic doctor death series Ive written as
there have been over 30 mysterious deaths in well under a year.

Obama signs EXECUTIVE ORDER To Take Over

America
President Barrack Obama signed the Patriot Defense of
Liberty Enabler Act which is his latest in a series of Executive Orders to bring the U.S. in compliance with the
United Nations Agenda 21 The President says that this
plan will allow the Federal Government to assume control of all Federal territory in case
of a National Emergency or Civil Disobedience. In addition, this act will allow the U.N.
Troops to assist U.S. Forces when needed on domestic soil.

Five Governors Declare All Out War On

Obamas Executive Tyranny
President Obama is well aware that there is no way for him to force Congress to put rules
in place for global warming on America. In fact, many Democrats dont even support
these rules, and many Republicans dont believe that global warming is a true scientific
concern.
Of course, thats not going to stop Obama from getting his way.
Recently, Obama talked about implementing an unconstitutional executive order placing
a limit on carbon emissions. As soon as he made this announcement, five Republican
Governors banded together to say they will oppose any such action.
The Governors involved include Greg Abbott of Texas, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Scott
Walker of Wisconsin, Mike Pence of Indiana and Mary Fallin of Oklahoma. All of the
above say they will refuse to carry out these rules in their states.
This could once again pose a huge clash between federal and state authorities, and undermine Obamas efforts to urge other nations to enact similar plans this year as part of a
major United Nations climate change accord.

Shop Local
By Rian Lyday
To go along with our summer savings, I was
thinking about how my family has changed to
shopping locally in order to both help our
neighbors and buy fresher, better products.
Why should you shop locally? Our community is growing in leaps and boundslook at
the construction going on. We want to keep
supporting the people that have been the foundation of our community for so long. How can
you help? Here are some ways to stay local:
START WITH, this paper. It is given to you
free of charge but filled with community information. Do you own a business? Buy an
ad from Frank. BUILD COMMUNITY!
When you run into people at local businesses
and the public spaces around them, you are
building relationships and community cohesiveness. Theyre the ultimate social networking sites! STRENGTHEN YOUR LOCAL
ECONOMY! Did you know that each dollar
you spend at independent businesses returns
three times more money to your local economy than one spent at a chain? Lets keep the
money in our community. SHAPE OUR
CHARACTER! Independent businesses help
give our community its distinct personality.
CREATE A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT!
Independent, community-serving businesses
are people-sized. They typically consume less
land and carry more locally-made products.
LOWER TAXES! More efficient land use and
more central locations mean local businesses
put less demand on our roads, sewers, and
safety services. They also generate more tax
revenue per sales dollar. The bottom line: a
greater percentage of local independent
businesses keeps your taxes
lower. CHOICES! A wide variety of
independent businesses, each serving their
customers tastes, creates greater overall
choice for all of us. INCREASE WEALTH
OF RESIDENTS! The effect created by
spending locally generates lasting impact on
the prosperity of local organizations and
residents. CREATE JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES! Not only do independent businesses
employ more people directly per dollar of
revenue, they also are the customers of local
printers, accountants, wholesalers, farms,
attorneys, etc., expanding opportunities for
local entrepreneurs. Try keeping your business
within our community. The benefits will
continue to enhance the beautiful area we are
lucky
to call
home.
