I can resist anything except temptation and this headline is too much:
Zinke: One-third of Interior employees not loyal to Trump
Ahh! I don't want or expect a bunch of career civil servants to be loyal to Trump. I expect them to be loyal to our Constitution and to respect the electoral process, but by way of comparison, I would hope that under Obama a few troglodytes and knuckle-draggers hung around to slow the pace of change we didn't all believe in. Oh, well - let's see what he really said:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said Monday that nearly one-third of employees at his department are not loyal to him and President Donald Trump, adding that he is working to change the department’s regulatory culture to be more business friendly.
Zinke, a former Navy SEAL, said he knew when he took over the 70,000-employee department in March that, “I got 30 percent of the crew that’s not loyal to the flag.”
In a speech to an oil industry group, Zinke compared Interior to a pirate ship that captures “a prized ship at sea and only the captain and the first mate row over” to finish the mission.
“We do have good people” at Interior, he said, “but the direction has to be clear and you’ve got to hold people accountable.”
Zinke’s comments echo complaints by some White House allies that a permanent, “deep state” in Washington has sabotaged Trump’s efforts to remake the government.
Zinke did not go that far, but he lamented a government culture that prizes analysis over action, saying: “There’s too many ways in the present process for someone who doesn’t want to get (a regulatory action) done to put it a holding pattern.”
What does it mean? If two-thirds of the careerists at Interior are loyal to Trump I am stunned, since that exceeds his national approval margin by a wide margin. On the other hand, if only two-thirds of the newly appointed regime are loyal, well, who is vetting these appointments?
Baffling.

Trump as always has set Alabama up as a win-win.
If his endorsed candidate (an obligatory endorsement) wins, that is more political capital for him and one more senator who personally owes him.
If Moore wins, Trump will be just as happy, maybe even more happy, because Moore is much more Trump-like than Strange is. Since Trump will throw his support to the primary winner no matter who it is, Moore will also owe something to Trump.
Trump has solid support among both candidates' voters. They're not going anywhere.
And the seat won't go blue.
So, no problem.
There is no "message" Trump will receive if Moore wins. It has already been gamed out.

I believe Heather Mac Donald had a meeting with Sessions about a week ago. She was previously offered virtually any slot she wanted in Justice (she has a law degree from Stanford). Although she doesn't want to join the Administration, she does touch base with them frequently. As you all probably remember, she was shouted down and threatened at the Claremont Schools awhile ago.

Hey there is a benefit--housing costs are significantly lower in those places and there are decent public universities their children could attend in each of those states.

Mixed feelings about this. I suppose given that the feds have gotten so heavily involved in education at all levels, even private universities, better this than what Obama was doing. But ideally universities could dig their own graves without the AG taking the shovel away from them.
Also, hasn't Sessions got more important things to do, like going after Power, Rice, over the unmasking and spying, just to name one item?

Villanueva came close, but not close enough. He has the least excuse of all because he knows what sacrifice and teamwork really are. He knows that in the real game of life there is a far greater price to pay and that if you do your job well, your brothers get to go home alive when the battle is over or at the end of watch. No lucrative salary. No hideously, monstrous ring encrusted with diamonds. Just your life and the knowledge that you were one of the few who stood between your countrymen and chaos.

Tonto, my impression is that building has a lot of wealthy hedge fund types--it's very expensive--many orthodox Jews, but not so much Lubavitchers, who don't tend to be so wealthy. I looked at Streeteasy.com, and there's a 3,750 sq ft apartment available for $32,000/month.

"The problem is it is their own politicians doing it. Not whitey"
It might go a bit deeper I think.
The worldview they adhere to guides who they elect.
It may be simplistic, but in the 10 commandments there are some along the lines ... shall not covet ... shall not bear false witness ...
The American experiment to a great extent requires that as prerequisite for success. And the combination brought prosperity to those who can practice them.
What is the left all about now? ... covet and blame. Who and what do they hate? That Jews and "privileged" whites and Asians make the American experiment it work for themselves.
But it doesn't work for the covetous and blamers. Instead they insist on being "who they are" and not "acting white" or "selling out". And so their Cargo Cult imitations and Finnegan's Rainbow ideas don't work out. Because racism.

Steve Hayes says some good things about President Trump wrt North Korea.
President Trump in Rose Garden again stated the mess he inherited from Obama.
But he said"We will fix it"
I can't tell you how impressed I am with Rex Tillerson at State and Heather Nauert
As spokeswoman.
After the Hildebeast and the Fop he is a person you can have confidence in.

Ext, I believe they have real hair under the wigs. Sometimes they wear headscarves instead of wigs to cover their hair, which is obviously there under the scarves. There might be some real extreme sects where the women shave their heads or keep it real short, but that's not the norm.
