Resistance Is Futile

The Baby Bombers are bringing it on against the hapless, overmatched Astros. OK, they're up 2-0 in the 3rd and still batting, but the freight train is rumbling through the Bronx and headed for Houston. Where Verlander will choke them out in Game 6, setting up a dramatic, climactic Game 7 in which CC Sabathia can lead the youngsters to the promised land.

I love this game!

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Power's claim cranks the whole unmasking game up several more notches.
Unless she is lying through her teeth [and if she did ask for hundreds of unmaskings for no legitimate purpose she has ample reason to lie] or she is describing what I presume is a bit of a felony someone else committed.
Either way her statement pretty much admits a crime [or more accurately several crimes] occurred.

I just ran a test on my iPad with the new IOS 11 update. Bummer, but I confirmed that I am unable to post pics or to do links anymore after having done this new update. I input exactly the proper symbols and exactly as I do like normal, and I verified that the exact same pics and links appeared properly on my laptop, but they will not work on my iPad.

If anyone has any ideas how to fix that or who to call I would appreciate it. Very frustrating.

[daddy]

That's the one, Narciso. But honestly all day it has been schizophrenic. I listen to four AM radio stations back and forth all day. The Talk Shows are all damning Hillary and Comey, but then the News Breaks come on and it's nothing but regurgitated Left Wing Talking turdpoints from a 180 degree different perspective. Then the ads finish, and back to the Shows and back to a completely different world of facts. We are living in 2 different realities. The top of the Hour and the bottom of the Hour News Breaks are reports from Blue State America, then the rest of the hour is from Flyover Country.

[daddy]

Powers either squeals or let her do the time in the pokey.

Don't forget who her husband is---Cass Sunstein, Obama's Regulatory Czar. Before Glen Beck went completely mental he used to call Cass Sunstein "The Most Dangerous Man In America."

Sunstein is another viscous and powerful America hating Leftist, so I doubt she goes down easy. Hell, he was probably the guy signing her name to those unmasking requests, and naturally being married they can't testify against each other.

I do think that whoever did the unmasking signatures in her name, whoever it was, was probably not a slick operator because once again remember that these guys hubris at the time was such that there was no way in the world that Trump was going to win, so there was no need to worry about hiding their criminality. A decent investigator should be able to get to the bottom of that swamp if he actually wants to.

To answer Miss M's earlier question, I nominate Cass Sunstein as the guy acting in her name to push unmasking. Since we have not heard hide nor hair from him in ages, I think he is eminently guilty in the court of Kangaroos.

brutal ump work.

[daddy]

Umps trying to throw the game to the Dodgers. Cubs coach to be thrown out any second now.

They got the Ump in Left field telling the Home plate ump to change the call from a swing and a miss to a foul tip. Definitely not a foul tip but regardless they just tossed the Cubs Coach.

Total Horse manure.

[Captain Hate]

Cap'n why the Cubs hatred?

Through the years they went from lovable losers to increasingly irritating and annoying pests. Then attracting dickholes like Bill Murray and Eddie Vedder cranked the hate up another notch. Finally the complete meltdown and death threats against Bartman put them in the eternal hatred category. And listening to that homo Joe Buck stroke them in last year's series added the cherry on top.

Make no doubt about it, I'm friends with some great Cubs fans. But I'm also buds with some White Sox fans, including one whose father was a Chicago Cardinal's fan (I'm old enough to remember them) who never failed to refer to the Bears as the football Cubs.

I hope I've explained myself adequately. Plus I'm in a bad mood because we won't be coming to NYC for Thanksgiving.

I loaded 11.00 on my iPad because I need file functionality for work, but I immediately noticed Jepp loading very slowly. Since then, I've read that there are a bunch of crappy problems that have caused quick, untested releases up through 11.03 and things are still awful. May be another week or two before the bigger problems get close to being fixed. Battery life is something like half on some of the phones. Ugh.

[daddy]

Man Tran,

The company had us not load it for about 2 weeks as they said they wanted to run tests to ensure it didn't have glitches. They advised us last night to upgrade it so I did. Lot of distracting features I don't want or need, and as already mentioned I can no longer post pics or do links. I also noticed that just carrying it around like normal today, when I left the Library it was down to 28% remaining Battery Power. That has never happened before (I can't ever recall going below 50 percent from normal use) and I have hauled the thing all over the planet doing much more with the machine than I did today, so sadly your perception of Battery usage jibes with mine---it is now a horrendous power hog.

Here's the latest Hill story from John Solomon about Grassley requesting that Toensing's FBI Informant client come testify: Senate seeks to interview FBI informant in Russian nuclear bribery case

Here's a bit of that:

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa), sent a letter Wednesday night to Toensing seeking to interview her client, saying he was troubled that the Obama administration in 2010 approved the Uranium One deal giving Moscow control over 20 percent of America's uranium supply when the FBI knew of corruption inside the Russian nuclear industry.

"It appears that your client possesses unique information about the Uranium One/Rosatom transaction and how the Justice Department handled the criminal investigation into the Russian criminal conspiracy," Grassley wrote. "Such information is critical to the Committee’s oversight of the Justice Department."

The senator specifically cited the earlier story by The Hill in his letter, saying among the issues he hoped to explore with the undercover was whether any political pressure was exerted during the probe.

[daddy]

Meanwhile, OAN (One America News) has a good TV update on Senator Menendez's Corruption and Bribery trial. Their update of Wednesday's Courthouse testimonies says that the Prosecution blew big holes in the story of the woman that Team Menendez trotted out to explain how Menendez's work was just good friendly "business as usual" goings on for her boss, the currently convicted and incarcerated Eye-Doctor.

Using a chain of uncovered E-mails, the Prosecution apparently showed her accounts to be fictional, and appeared to be building a damning case against Senator Bob.

Finally I'm optimistic about something:)

Meanwhile, this short link from Instapundit leads me to thinking that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle ain't for certain: Pilot Wave theory suggests Trumpet shaped Emdrive would have more thrust

Currently, the majority of physicists subscribe to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which states that particles do not have defined locations until they are observed.

Pilot wave theory, on the other hand, suggests that particles do have precise positions at all times, but in order for this to be the case, the world must also be strange in other ways – which is why many physicists have dismissed the idea.

Pilot wave theory says that an object radiates a wave field, and it is then pulled or attracted to regions of that field that have higher intensity or energy density. In that way, the wave field is actually ‘piloting’ the object, hence the name.

I am so pissed: Black Lives Matter is demonstrating at Boston College over what is likely faked hate "crimes" A poster was vandalized as someone wrote in the word "don't" between the words Lives and matter. The other racist incident was a ridiculously stupid snap chat that compared slavery to a philly cheese steak. Now my son is being pressured to boycott classes over this total bullshit. Vile.

peter, welcome to the club. Defacement of the portraits of the black faculty at HLS--well, putting a piece of black artist's tape on them; nothing at all was damaged--most likely by the "activists" students who demonstrated for days after this horrible event themselves, as the perpetrators were never named, and there is video coverage of the hall where the portraits hang---resulted in my son having a diploma from there with a crest that has been declared "racist" by the school administrators, following talks with said activists, and subsequently replaced.
My son wrote and requested a new diploma, as he doesn't want to display a racist crest in his office, being the well-raised child he is,but never received a response. So, all that tuition money for a diploma he can't display without offense???

And HLS prof Laurence Tribe is still a hair-on-fire Twitter mess over the election of Donald Trump, just yesterday threatening to punch Gorka over his statement at Values Voters that he and Bannon can cause more damage as private citizens. (I thought Twitter banned people threatening violence?)

They just don't get it do they?
Tribe--and his favorite student ever, Obama-- et. al. are WHY we have Trump. And if this keeps up--why we'll have more Trump.

[daddy]

Roger Simon adds his voice to those demanding Mueller step down, and smacks Jeff Sessions around to boot:

Uranium One Means Mueller Must Recuse Himself from Russia Probe

Senator Grassley asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions: “What are you doing to find out how the Russian takeover of the American uranium was allowed to occur despite criminal conduct by the Russia company that the Obama administration approved the purchase?"

Evidently, not much. At least so far. In fact Sessions said that Deputy Attorney General Ron Rosenstein, who led this long-hidden investigation, should "investigate himself."

No, Jeff. You may have properly recused yourself from the Russian investigation, despite Trump's criticism, but this one is your job. You run the Department of Justice and therefore the FBI. Something is rotten as much as it ever was in Denmark. Indeed it's worse, since nuclear weapons were not even dreamed of in Hamlet's time. So don't be like Hamlet. Act now.

The more the media (Forbes is very mainstream) says, "well it was Hillary working with Russians, but Mueller is pure as driven snow," the more certain I am that Mueller is performing a whitewash of Treason in which he was a featured conspirator. Sessions entire career was DoJ and Senate. He is happy in the swamp. This unpleasantness can only mean he used his "asset forfeiture tool" for evil (which is likely), and he doesn't want to face that. So his only instruction to Rosenstein must be "whitewash faster, they are on to us!"

A very good morning to one and all. Roger Simon notwithstanding, this is a great beginning to the day out on the Faith and Patience Portico. Just in case y'all aren't putting together the importance of that twitter link MM posted, let me help you (yes, I'm looking at you, henry):

Why is Rod Rosenstein compromised or conflicted in the slightest regarding Mueller's investigation? Pay attention to the timeline: the illegal Russian activity seems to have begun around 2009, Clapper is reported to have curiously "disbanded" the intel community's advisory group for CFIUS in 2010, and the approval for the purchase was also granted in 2010. The case against Vadim Mikerin wasn't initiated by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland (Rod Rosenstein) until July 25, 2014.

Victoria Toensing's assertion yesterday:

The information her client possesses includes specific allegations that Russian executives made to him about how they facilitated the Obama administration's 2010 approval of the Uranium One deal and sent millions of dollars in Russian nuclear funds to the U.S. to an entity assisting Bill Clinton's foundation. At the time, Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of State on the government panel that approved the deal.

Can you say BUSTED !?! She is *not* going to skate. And this last night from Jim Rickards:

I led CFIUS advisory for intel community for years. Was "disbanded" by Gen. Clapper before Uranium One. Just sayin' https://t.co/75kBxRJoRs pic.twitter.com/9ZGTnCfMCo

— Jim Rickards (@JamesGRickards) October 19, 2017

Hmmmmmmmmm. So Rickards is publicly stepping out there; this will be hard for Clapper to deny or contest.

Another reminder: not only was Rosenstein the responsible United States Attorney for the case, the primary litigator of the case was Andrew Weissman, serving then as Chief of the Fraud Section, Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Maryland.

Of course, Weissman is on Mueller's investigatory team. All of this action was taken, mind you, while the officials at the top of the DOJ carefully managed (and shrouded) the damage. Prosecutor's would have certainly noticed this. Prosecutor's forced to go easy don't forget who forced them to do so.

If you think that's good for Hillary, you're crazy. Clinton, Inc. is very clearly the target, perhaps even Obama (Tell Putin I'll have much more flexibility after the elections) too, and they are in deep, deep trouble.

Trump has outmaneuvered them and everybody on Lurker's Ledge.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Hi, RG! Thanks for explaining the significance of that tweet!

Here's another shoe to drop. Linda Bloodworth-Thomason ("Designing Women" writer from Arkansas) warned democrat higher-ups about Harvey Weinstein multiple times.

https://bluntforcetruth.com/clinton-confidant-i-warned-top-level-democrats-about-weinstein/

All of this "shocked, shocked about Harvey" BS from the democrat beneficiaries of his money is simply lies to cover for their total disregard about anything except donation money and Hollywood influence.

Here's an interesting thought: What does Harvey know and IF (as I heard on radio this morning) he might be facing 25 years in prison, does he have information he would be willing to give to a federal investigator?

[RattlerGator]

Trump owning the downside means (it seems to me) either Rosenstein and Weissman do their job, or they go down too.

The same thing applies to Mueller. In terms of duty, the Trump Administration effectively controls all three of them right now, professionally speaking.

[henry]

RG, Rosenstein is neck deep in the Uranium One mess:

a: he was lead prosecutor on the abandoned investigation.

b: he was on the committee that unanimously approved the deal

c: he approved the deal knowing the level of bribery and corruption leading to it, as well as knowing who got bribed (as in the Sec State)

This, however, fails to explain things like why Koskinen is still at IRS. There's much that Trump could have done by now that remains untouched.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Well, I am not going to say anything for a while. I am just going to do links. It's not worth arguing over, because sooner or later we will know what's going on.

[Another Bob]

Out, in the sense that we know of it.

Sure, MSM mostly ignores (but WaPo had a surprising editorial), but that's not how news is reported anymore.

[Another Bob]

No need to get defensive MM. We're all just chatting here.

Keep on keepin' on. I'd love for you to be right.

CH - Sticks & stones...

this is huge if Trump is now all in on making a stand on this hill. A win here and the swamp is like the bugs in a "Raid" commercial.

Sorry Gus that I got you mixed up with CH

If, henry. Did you honestly just write "if" -- man, please !!!

[RattlerGator]

You know, some of y'all have been battered so long you're hesitant to wake up to the obvious.

But it's okay, you know? You can consider and embrace the possibility. Quit being scared.

[RattlerGator]

Actually, embrace the probability.

And be happy about it.

[henry]

RG, the possibility is nice. However a tweet storm better not be the full arsenal.

St Helena tortoise has a gay old time

He is the oldest resident of St Helena, though age has not dimmed his ardour. Even at 186, however, Jonathan, a giant tortoise and probably also the world’s oldest living creature, has not seen everything.

The female he has been wooing these past 26 years, is, it seems, not the Frederica he loved, but Frederic.

The same St. Helena, in the middle of the South Atlantic were Napolean was exiled.
