Upstate One's JournalCordray slams Kucinich over lack of income tax disclosure
Source: Columbus Dispatch
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dennis Kucinich released part of his recent income tax information Monday, but an opponent said it was too little, too late.
Two of the other main four candidates in the Democratic field — state Sen. Joe Schiavoni of Boardman and Richard Cordray of Grove City — last week made available copies of their last three years’ tax returns, complete with schedules showing deductions and sources of income. Former state Supreme Court Justice Bill O’Neill released last year’s taxes, saying the two previous years were similar.
Kucinich’s spokesman said he’s requested an extension to file a return for 2017 and on Monday, his campaign emailed only the first two pages of his 2016 and 2015 returns, making it impossible to know from where he and his wife have received their income.
Kucinich’s spokesman, Andy Juniewicz, noted that Cordray’s campaign hadn’t distributed copies of his returns to reporters, instead making them available for inspection at his Columbus headquarters. The Dispatch would have to go to Cleveland to see the rest of Kucinich’s returns, Juniewicz said.

I want to know how much he was paid by Fox News, RT, and pro-Asssad groups.
By the way, Kucinich was in RT Sunday talking to Larry King.
Same pollster saying millenial support for Dems. is waning has Dems +11 in generic ballot
Pundits today are going gaga over a Reuters/Ipsos poll pretending that millenial support for Democrats is "waning".
https://www.axios.com/millennials-voters-support-democrats-republicans-poll-bd5317ed-71b1-4f72-ab38-62fc0cd0eeb4.html
But the same pollster gives Democrats the largest lead of any pollster (11%) over the GOP ahead of the midterms, a lead way larger than what's needed to retake the House majority.
a
Analysts say Democrats need about a 6% lead to gain a House majority. This 11% lead should be among the top news in every newspaper and political website. But they go with the anti-Democratic line because it's the mainstream media we're talking about.
Chris Cillizza, who once said Hillary should drink "Mad bitch beer", criticizes Michelle Wolf
Chris Cillizza, who was once stripped of his video segment in the Washington Post for calling Hillary Clinton a mad bitch, has a column criticizing Michelle Wolf, comedian who roasted Sarah Huckabee Sanders in the WH correspondents dinner:
There are LOTS of way to go after Sanders. I personally think that she is overly antagonistic to the reporters who cover the White House and misleads on the regular. But to make fun of Sanders' makeup? ("I think she's very resourceful, like she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies," said Wolf.) Like, really?
I know lots of liberals will -- and already have via Twitter -- painted the attacks on Sanders as the press secretary getting what she deserved. I don't subscribe to that idea. Sanders showed up, sat on the dais and played along. She knew she was likely to get made fun of. But she would have no reasonable expectation that Wolf would go after her looks and refer to her as an "Uncle Tom, but for white women who disappoint other white women."
I'm stunned that Sanders sat five feet away from Wolf and just took it.

MSM journalists are out for revenge against Michelle Wolf on Twitter
Mainstream pundits are pretending to be outraged by what they say was a mean performance by comedian Michelle Wolf at the White House correspondent dinner. But in reality, they are butthurt because Wolf said the media is secretly in love with Trump:

Dennis Kucinich says he is returning $20,000 speaking fee to pro-Syrian government group
Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer
Former U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat running for governor, said on Thursday he is returning a $20,000 speaking fee he received from a group sympathetic to the Syrian government.
Kucinich initially failed to disclose in state ethics filings that he received $20,000 in 2017 for a paid speech in London from the Association for Investment in Popular Action Committees , which includes the pro-President Bashar Assad group Syria Solidarity Movement. Kucinich received widespread criticism, including from former Gov. Ted Strickland , though some voters seemed unconcerned .

Dennis Kucinich: "There are polls out there that show me leading" (BS)
In a podcast published today (April 20th), Pro-Trump Democratic candidate for Ohio governor falsely stated that there are "polls" out there that show him leading:
In fact, a review of polls shows that Kucinich leads in zero polls (He's tied in one poll, and the most recent poll has Cordray leading him by 15%):

Ohio Sen. Portman might oppose bill to keep Trump from firing Mueller
Source: Dayton Daily News
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, suggested he would oppose a bill that would prevent President Donald Trump from firing former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who as a special counsel for the Justice Department is investigating possible links in the 2016 presidential campaign between Russia and Trump campaign officials.
In an interview today on CNN, Portman said “the president has the constitutional right to be able to hire and fire people who work for him. As my lawyers have looked at the legislation….they believe it is not consistent with that constitutional right.”

Several House Republicans endorse bill to protect Mueller
Source: Politico
A handful of House Republicans have endorsed legislation that would protect special counsel Robert Mueller from any attempt by President Donald Trump to remove him, even as GOP leaders insist that such legislation is unnecessary.
Rep. Charlie Dent introduced a version of the bill on Friday, and on Monday, fellow Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick signed on as a cosponsor. Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) signed on to an identical version of the bill that Democrats introduced last week.
The new GOP support for the bill comes despite continued assurances from Republican leaders in the House and Senate that Trump wouldn't dare fire Mueller.
"We do not believe that he should be fired. We do not believe he will be fired," Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday morning.

This is good news, but we need more than a "handful" of Republicans to pass this. I hope more jump in.
