Made in the USA! Or, Catch a Wave. But let's not go surfin' now...
UPDATE: Since Jessica Simmons of Alabama manned up (with her hubby) to swim out and haul in bodies, Roll, Tide! Ms. Simmons offers props all around in her Facebook account:
At the end when we got the last person in, our chain grew to 70 strangers holding hand in hand to save these people.
The Chinese people keep bowing their head to me telling me thank you. The son of the grandmother shake my hand and told me thank you for saving us. I had people telling everyone who was involved thank you over and over again! Had we NOT had the surf board, the boggie boards, the HUMAN chain of over 70 inspiring life saving people and just staying calm to get out of the rip tide, we would have never been able to bring them to shore alive.
OK, I had Clemson for two years running but I could re-think that for next January...
Just a great story. And no bureaucracy needed.

I am glad they are safe, but were they in the water with red flags?
Had conditions suddenly changed and the flags in that part of the beach had not yet been changed? Usually only the fire dept can change the flags even as conditions change.
Over the ten years I spent all summer at the beach maybe ten miles from this stretch, I was cussed out so many times trying to warn people there was a rip tide.
"I am on vacation and I am going to get my money's worth" was and is the dangerous attitude too often.

Apologies for going OT so soon, but...
A question for the crew here: Bottom-line, is there any evidence, speculation, proof, or credible suspicion that anyone working for Team Trump sought anything at all from Russia or Russians during the campaign?
Posted by: Another Bob | July 11, 2017 at 04:42 PM
I think I just caught Dem Representative Schiff in a lie 10 seconds ago:
Schiff: "Here I think you have quite direct evidence that the Russian Government had damaging information, communicated that to the Campaign...
Where is the proof of that? Is there some actual "proof" that the Russian Government had damaging info? I heard about the Russian dossier and the peeing on the bed, but I thought that was about Trump and was paid for and ginned up by some Brit Agent. Where is the "quite direct evidence that the Russian Government had damaging information"?

Panama City Beach is about 45 minutes east of me. The flags on the beach were red much of last week here, which means riptide. Even a strong swimmer may not be a match for a the rip current, although its usually easy enough to head parallel to the beach for a short distance and escape. Amazing to me how many folks get in the water without understanding the meaning of flags posted by the County.

Daddy - the Dems/MSM continue to occupy/foist on the still-sentient world the position that (a) there was and is no damaging info about HRC et al, yet (b) Trump's peeps are guilty of collusively releasing damaging info about HRC. No?
Posted by: exdemocrat | July 11, 2017 at 05:09 PM
Something like what happened to DTJr--the phony set up-- once almost happened to me. A govt official said if I put him in touch with an environmental law firm , he'd hire them, they didn't have to do anything and they could turn the money over to us--the UWA challengers. I told him that was illegal and I would never do that. Sometime later I read that he was quoted saying we had received govt funds under the table--which we had not. Even later I was at some conference where he was representing his dept..he couldn't look me in the eye. The govt is and has been for years full of people like this.
Posted by: Clarice Feldman | July 11, 2017 at 05:13 PM
One thing has become a little clearer to me, at least, is that what the left/MSM means by 'collusion' is substantively different from what i do.
To them, DJr 'colluded' by being open to receiving material from a non-US party that would help his father's campaign.
Is that what you'all believe impeachable collusion is? (assuming, for a moment, that DJr's actions were directed by his dad.)

Posted by: Threadkiller | July 11, 2017 at 05:17 PM
I would like to point out that an early set-up of the trump campaign was not simply because they worried about losing.
Let me go back to that infamous tweet that the Obama guy posted on Twitter:
"Donald Trump should not only be defeated but destroyed, so that his kind shall not rise again."
They were going to drag this story out even after he supposedly lost, and take apart his empire and probably jail some of his family. They would have been able to do it with the full force of the government behind them, and with their capabilities for manufacturing evidence and the corrupt people in the FBI and the CIA, they would have gotten away with it.
What did Admiral Rogers tell President-elect Trump when he went to new York to see him a week or so after the election.
And Adam Schiff is calling Donald Trump Jr. a liar and saying nothing any of the Trumps did can be believed.
They are running the same plan with a much-diminished arsenal.
Posted by: Miss Marple the Deplorable | July 11, 2017 at 05:21 PM
to me, the questions begged by such a position are endless. for example: would DJr's actions be AOK if he had merely been open to obtaining the same material from a US person instead? If not, why not?
i've asked this question elsewhere without receiving a remotely coherent response. my guess is that the real answer from leftists is that it would not. because the behavior here that is actually 'unacceptable' and 'unforgivable' is doing anything to prevent HRC's righteous coronation.

Posted by: Tom Maguire | July 11, 2017 at 05:26 PM
Thanks Tom. To my point and also what is clearly common man's experience, the fire dept has not been willing to let others change the flags. For a wide county like walton where I was or the bay county where pcb is, the conditions commonly will have changed long before the flags get changed.
Good thing there were clearly some tourists with common sense in this case.

Posted by: henry | July 11, 2017 at 06:17 PM
The first reported FISA request was in June 2016. Timing wise, that could easily have been in response to the Don Jr Goldstone and Russian lawyer, who met in early June if I'm reading the emails right. But that FISA request was allegedly denied as being too broad.
The later, narrower, allegedly-granted FISA request to monitor the Trump Tower server was in October 2016. On Halloween, the Clinton campaign seemed to have coordinated "breaking news" of the server with Slate. TNR was skeptical:

MM ... your 5:35 is spot on. Novice Trump campaign, associates, family were overwhelmed at times, in the "swamp arena" of politics and how corruption accountability depends on whether you're "inside" or "outside" the imbedded structure of the last 25+ years.
But, this includes---to the dismay of many who supported the Republican Party---the Bush's, Romney and Mc Cain types, who submit to lefties in control.
In a way, they are worse than the vampirism of Clinton/Obama types--I knew immediately they would feed off my blood--I hoped the others might be a surprise--but--No!

Why Donald Trump Jr. is Innocent. Period. | Law News
Donald Trump Jr. took a meeting from someone claiming evidence of foreign corruption by Hillary Clinton. The meeting proved useless. Donald Trump Jr. released the emails leading to the meeting. It is clear from the documents and statements of all involved that Donald Trump Jr. did nothing wrong. He broke no law. This isn’t like Hillary Clinton’s husband soliciting donations disguised as speech payments, travel costs, and charity work, while Hillary was Secretary of State. Based solely on the fact the source of the information was a Yeltsin-era prosecutor from Russia, a few anti-Trump lawyers falsely accuse Trump Jr. of a crime.

Jack,
I posted that story this morning before I heard about the airplane crash. I got called away and got distracted by the numerous posts and didn't notice if anyone else posted about it. TM may have gleaned it from my post this morning.
We can walk and chew gum, so I think give him a chance and don't depend on him to post all of the news. I should have posted an article about it once I saw it, but assumed someone else had done so. TM was probably in the same boat.
The story about the human chain saving people is not a bad one. It's not more of the Russia crap, and it does show the good side of America, something those Marines were defending.

"We can confirm that we have taken into custody a person of interest in regard to the bombing at the USAF Recruiting Center last night," the FBI's field office tweeted.
Authorities initially said they believed the explosion late Monday night that damaged the doors of the recruitment center to be an act of domestic terrorism.
But a federal agent later said authorities were investigating the incident as a criminal act, according to News on 6 in Tulsa, Okla.
The facility in suburban Tulsa was closed at the time, and nobody was harmed by the detonation.
The FBI did not name the person of interest or say how the individual was connected to the incident.
Security cameras at a nearby restaurant in the same plaza as the recruitment center reportedly captured surveillance footage of the explosion.

Assuming the DTJr thing was a set-up, or even assuming that it wasn't, one question I have is--Why now?
Why did they wait so long? They've already thrown every scrap of any even remotely plausible connection between Trump and "The Russians" out there and tried like hell to turn everything into the "proof" of the meme they are so desperate to believe (or to get the public to believe).
So why this Goldstone thing at this point in time? Are they just completely out of ammo? Did Mueller get the word out that he's going to shut things down? I am assuming for purposes of this question that there are no real secrets in DC and that Goldstone or someone else has been shopping this thing for a long time. What gives?

Curiosor and Curiosor – Natalia Veselnitskaya Pictured With Obama Officals in DC on June 14th, 2016…
Posted on July 11, 2017 by sundance
This is oddly interesting.
( h/t GWP ) At the heart of the current media Russian narrative du jour is a story about Donald Trump Jr. meeting with a Russian attorney named Natalia Veselnitskaya. That meeting took place on June 9th 2016 in Trump Tower.
Now it is discovered via video and images, that only 5 days later, June 14th 2016, Ms. Veselnitskava was a guest of former Obama administration Russian Ambassador Michael McFaul in Washington DC for a House of Representatives hearing on U.S. Policy Toward Putin’s Russia. [Video HERE – and Video HERE]
Ms. Natalia Veselnikskaya is pictured seated in the front row directly behind former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Mr. Michael McFaul at the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This is June 14th, five days after the reported meeting with Donald Trump Jr.
It should be noted that Ambassador McFaul was very publicly discussing the ‘Muh Russia’ conspiracy narrative in the media and appeared on numerous NBC and MSNBC broadcasts during the 2016 campaign, and immediately after the election.
It should also be noted that Ms. Natalia Veselnitskaya was initially denied an entry visa into the United States in 2016 and appealed her situation to the U.S. District Court of New York. She was granted a parole letter allowing her to enter the United States on behalf of a client.

Good catch. you got me. I don't think I ever made to the infield. I was a catcher and terrible hitter. But it something how the Latins have taken over baseball, not totally but if you don't have them on your team, you don't survive.
If anyone here thinks the Donjr. escapade is going nowhere then you weren't here for Plamegate. Its so similar of making a mountain out of a molehill its silly. Don Jr. is our designated ham sandwich.

Using spell check on Chrome is an exercise in futility.

jimmyk,
Yeah, and Marichal and the others is why I work out every day and do PT every week. Keep moving and be fit. Lessons to all. Move.
You don't have to do more than move. Sitting is the new cancer.

Thanks to all friends for many prayers. My boys surgery went well. I'm taking the train home while Mrs Peter sleeps in Columbia Presbyterian

A new trial balloon (editorial in today's WSJ):
That's what we need: more government! How about we shut down programs/agencies 2:1 for every expenditure of this new, and probably useless, department?
I'll listen to Ella: "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off."

Well I am giving it one more try on restart, if this doesn't work I am going to bed,, if I have to post on my phone do not look for links from me.
If my PC is shot I am going to be bereft and on my phone only,

Glad to hear about your son, peter!

If my PC is shot...
Your PC likely is not shot, but some important files got corrupted. It happens. Without more symptoms, it is hard to diagnose from afar. But it can be fixed.

"Probably," DrJ?

Great news, Peter!
Posted by: lyle | July 11, 2017 at 09:17 PM
Fair enough, lyle.
I tire of the attitude that if there is some problem, any problem, that exists here or overseas, that the solution is more government money/agencies/people/whatever.
Posted by: DrJ | July 11, 2017 at 09:20 PM
Dr J,
No fixing unless someone gives me directions. No money. That is just how it is.

Peter,
Wonderful news about your son's surgery! I am so happy things went well!

MM,
Do you have a backup?
Posted by: DrJ | July 11, 2017 at 09:23 PM
Going to bed.
Nytol.

Dr J, I have a laptop which grandkids got goofed up playing games. It is still on windows 7 or 8 I believe. Granddaughter will be here tomorrow so maybe we can load it with Windows 10..
I don't like to use it but you have to work with the hand you are dealt.
Good night.
