*Folies Bergère staged its first revue in Paris, France, on May 1, 1869, with light entertainment including operettas, comic opera, popular songs, and gymnastics. Greater success came in the 1870s, when the Folies Bergère staged vaudeville. In 1887 the Folies’ highly popular revue entitled “Place aux Jeunes” (place of the young)? established it as the premiere nightspot in Paris. When the vogue of nudity seized the music halls of Paris in 1894, the Folies elaborated it to such an extent that the theatre’s reputation for sensational displays of female nudity came to overshadow its other performances. The house was at the height of its fame and popularity from the 1890s through the 1920s.
The Folies Bergère remained a success throughout the 20th century and still can be seen in Paris today, although the theater now features many mainstream concerts and performances.

Gen. Flynn Never Violated Logan Act, But John Kerry Violated It Often
"On Wednesday evening we learned among other things, handwritten notes “written by the FBI’s former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap after a meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Fox News is told — further suggested that agents planned in the alternative to get Flynn “to admit to breaking the Logan Act” when he spoke to then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period.”"Logan is an archaic 18th century law in which no one - ever - has been prosecuted.

"“What’s very clear is according to two stories, one in The Federalist and one in The Daily Caller, diGenova said, “is someone inside the FBI is now whistleblowing by leaking to the press about what’s going on and boy, it is just fascinating to watch the claim that Chris Wray and Dana Boente did everything they could to prevent the stuff from the Missouri U.S. attorney from being given to Flynn’s attorney. That is the beginning of a very ugly story.”"Still and again, a lamp post for every single one of these fascist crap weasels.
