Off To A Slow Start

I've been distracted by our booming economy. Or to be more accurate, our booming stock market and steadily-recovering economy.

Getting ready to land in Hawaii. Looking so much forward to meeting with our great Military/Veterans at Pearl Harbor!

[David, Internet Deplorable]

Since folks here have been talking about the anniversary of the election, I am going to go ahead and shill something here. There is an anthology of stories (mostly speculative fiction) called "MAGA: 2020 and Beyond" that is being put out by Superversive Press. Despite my wife and I writing three serious historical novels in the last four years, we have yet to be published, so this anthology, which contains a silly little lightweight story called "The Magic of MAGA" is going to be my first published work. The anthology is meant to be a lighthearted and positive view of how things are likely to change now that Trump has been elected. The book is going on sale on November 8, 2017, to mark the anniversary of the election. If the mood takes you, please buy a copy. I figure I get about $.15 in royalties per copy, so I am expecting to make enough to buy a pizza. Maybe.

David, post a link to buy this book. I'm happy to contribute my $.15

You have to see the photo. Kasich speaking in front of a bunch of young guys.

[Davod]

The miscarriage of justice started much earlier when you had a two star general rule that no-one was killed while looking for Bergdahl, even thoug you had soldiers and SEALS say they were on search operations when their compatriots were killed.

Did they lie?

[henry]

I keep seeing reports (at The Donald) that our recent Mohammed Al Trucki was an intern for DWS. The first was /pol retweeting that info from CNN (shitpost?), but more posts making that claim. Seems far fetched. But most of what is going on these days seems far fetched.

[danoso]

Navy MM gets a year in prison for taking photos of the engine room.

Bergdahl gets nothing for misbehaving before the enemy.

Justice.

[narcisoyea]

It seems improbable, yes he lived briefly in Tampa, but I don't think so, I could be wrong.

[henry]

The CTH guys find a curious thread in FOIA emails regarding Hilligula and Uranium One.

Donna Brazile will be on Tucker Carlson tonight.

This signals to me that they are REALLY throwing Hillary under the bus.

Here is a link to the preorder of the Kindle version on Amazon. I think that there will be a dead tree edition you can buy on November 8. Not completely sure, I haven't actually seen what is in the anthology except my own contribution.

henry, that's the most interesting thing I recall reading this week.

[JimNorCal]

Allen West on FB, re Bergdahl
This has to be one of the most abhorrent judicial decisions in U.S. military history.
I want Clint Lorance released from Ft. Leavenworth prison NOW and Colonel Jeffery Nance removed from the bench and charged with dereliction of duty. The last thing we damn need is judicial activism perverting and destroying our military justice system.

[henry]

Clarice, stunning find. And Comey whitewashed it. WTF is Sessions recusing from this for? Who the hell is pursuing it?

[anon (AKA common man )]

Well the special election almost upon us to replace Jason Chaffetz. Maybe the Democrats are finally going to get a single victory? Not likely according to the polls as Curtis leads his Democrat opponent 46 to 19 ( not a typo ).
The House has the ability to seat immediately and Curtis supports the tax bill so expect to see another vote in the House for the bill in about a week or so.

[narcisoyea]

Look at the last paragraph

David, congratulations, I will put that book on my Christmas wishlist so one of my relatives will likely get it for me by Christmas.

I also wanted to say that the article about the gem display at the AMNH that Jack linked is great, especially knowing that it was written by the daughter of JOMers Harry and Tonto. An attorney with whom I work, a young associate, was married this past July, and in her wedding vows, she talked about she and her husband to be had their first date at the AMNH and how much they liked that room. Small world!

[Abadman]

Gus,

from last night,

I'd be happy to talk some time, you have quite the family! And good reason to be proud of them.
Sorry to hear about you parents, I lost my dad a little over a year ago, it sucks.

I cant do it now though. I'v been here, at work, for quite a spell, and while I'm sure your a fine fellow, no one tops Mrs. Abad.

"Lawyers for Fusion submitted a new request for a temporary restraining order preventing its bank, TD Bank, from producing records requested by the House panel regarding records of its transactions “with any law firm, ‘media company’ or journalist with which it has worked.”

The filing raises the possibility that Fusion has paid journalists."

Hey Another Bob. Dave's I in LaCrosse is a top notch guitar spot. But check out this YELP review.
Spent 35 minutes in the store. Six guys working, not one even said hello. The only reason I give it two stars is because of the selection of instruments. If you could only get someone to sell you one.

Just dropping in to mention when I sent out RG's column to all my pals, I happened to mention the erudite conversation between sbw and RG where I'm sure they were holding their pinkies extended while sipping their tea. Something about their mommas as I recall. :))

Damnit! I am going to have to remind myself to check dates!

WHY do people post these old links without alerting people they are from months ago? It isn't helpful at all!

The early anecdotes in ed Klein's book are very good they show how the grishenko narrative came into being

Every Sunday morning I send Clarice's Pieces to my sons and now I'm honored to say I just sent them RG's article too. Congrats RG, Well Done Sir!

This is from a reddit thread on the latest JFK dump. Note the date, and in light of tomorrow's expected riots, kinda creepy.

Thanks for the info re: appeal in the Bergdahl case, Davod.

David, please send a reminder about the book on the 8th!

No confirmation that Sessions recused on U1. Hannity is saying his DoJ sources say it's untrue.

[anonamom]

so, I'm thinking I've actually been able to pull something up from a narciso link maybe twice. Otherwise "this page does not exist."

What's the secret?

Don't know, sometimes ibhave to attach the http, sometimes period gets left on the page.

Danny trejo cameos as a multide0inentional bounty hunter, who was not amused by Cisco the resident tech genius dating his daughter.

narciso, there's this thing called copy and then this thing called paste.

[Frau Mit gegangen, Mit gefangen, Mit gehangen]

This very week, Tim Kaine lied on CNN and was not corrected. He needs to have his lips sewn shut. As it is, this lie is with evil intent and falls under the Catholic heading of a mortal sin. But, hey! He's a Catholic democrat.

KAINE: If you’re asking about the dossier, that was funded by an online conservative publication in Washington, The Washington Free Beacon--

CAMEROTA: At first, then the Hillary campaign, right?

KAINE: Let me finish — and they hired a firm with a British secret service agent.

[Frau Mit gegangen, Mit gefangen, Mit gehangen]

I'm off to read the Klein book even though it is depressing.
Sleep tasty...

[Threadkiller]

In the cass of the Poop Scoop link, "trump" was spelled "twrump."

My guess is that some links you get on one computer and transpose them, by hand, onto another computer.

Am I close?

[Catsmeat]

Narciso is not interested in intelligibility, thus copy and paste are too un-numinous. Cheers to narciso on general grounds, though intelligibility is also a nice thing.

[Threadkiller]

In the case...

[Catsmeat]

Nytol myself--or should I first share my v. modest adventures with the press? I'll share, assuming that everyone is about to hit the virtuous sheet and thus that no one will pay attention: today in my inbox was a request from the higher education specialist at the Lincoln Journal-Star wanting to talk to me about the recent controversies as he had heard that I was a conservative, and the point of the interview, as he framed it, was to help point out that the department is not "monolithic" in its point of view. But of course it is monolithic--there's no question about it, so I replied that I appreciated his inquiry, but that being interviewed on this score would be for me both dangerous and unwise, and that I requested that he not report my refusal to be interviewed, as even that could be no good. He replied that he understood and all was well. Hear late in the day from another colleague, an administrator, who had gotten the same request and was thinking about talking to the reporter off the record. I didn't know this colleague was not a liberal until that moment--a nice surprise. We had a v. nice conversation--and I couldn't give counsel, because what to do is so entirely situational. We will see. Hope you are all asleep--I tell you you don't mess with these people...

[Account Deleted]

I've started in on the Klein book about Trump. But not making headway. Busy making spreadsheets with Excel.

Here's my wish: when I come back here again I want to have idiot savant levels of competence and skill building spreadsheets in Excel.

Have friends who can crank em out while multi-tasking. Me? I feel like I am a banana-fingered, hungover, derelict with the attention span of a marmot.

[Porchlight]

Catsmeat, I can relate. That is a pleasant surprise about your colleague!

[Miss Marple]

Catsmeat,

For some reason. I woke up, so read your post. Glad you found an ally!

[Catsmeat]

Yes, Porch and MM, it was something of a pleasant surprise--we're to have lunch soon. There are certainly here and there conservative grad students and lecturers, but really as far as the department's view goes, everyone is with the "woke" program (sillies).

Or 'Asia', as the last guy claimed.

[joan]

Catsmeat,

wonder how the reporter had 'heard' that you are a conservative.

[Dave (in MA)]

How are the Donks going to decide if it's going to be Bergdahl/Manning '20 or Manning/Bergdahl '20?

[joan]

Dave (in MA):

Ick. What a pair. Throw in the communist who just graduated from the military academy, and you shudder at the swine the democrats have to offer. And, they never seem to be ashamed of anything they do or any of their political stars.

[joan]

This makes me shake my head at the blind, ignorant, and foolish hypocrisy of the New Orleans Saints -- they are disappointed this veteran chose to decline their award 'in such a public fashion' -- but they don't mind their players kneeling in 'public fashion' during our national anthem.

Before I go nighty night, I read narc's 12:23 link and was further interested in this:

https://www.popmatters.com/184681-the-sonny-rollins-new-yorker-controversy-and-jazzs-image-problem-2495629647.html

I'm pretty tired, so much so that I didn't dig too deeply into it, nor any of the subsequent links, but I think the article in question fails mainly for being extremely unfunny. Don't get me started on how so many elements of jazz richly deserve a satiric skewering and the cult around Sonny Rollins is a primary target; but this fell far short of what it could have been. And the man himself, even though I've stopped listening to his music for subjective reasons about which I won't bore anyone, is a class act and, as usual, acquits himself well when quoted in the link.

[Ralph L]

I was looking to see who she played on Boardwalk Empire, as I did not recall her.

I'm thinking someone with the nickname Crazypants might just not be who you would normally want as a your witness in a rape trial---but times, they are a changin'...

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Not sure at this point if Sessions not recused is a good thing or bad. :/

[danoso]

He sure does come across as inadequate for what the times demand. He seems to insist on playing by the rules that are stacked against him.

[danoso]

Not a lawyer, but that Kaine quote sure seems to reveal how much trouble they’re in hiring a foreigner as part of the campaign. And going through Elias - yeah, that’ll throw them off the trail.

[James D.]

I really haven't missed the NFL at all, which would be very distressing to a well run organization.

It really is mind blowing (or maybe not) that people who were for the most part good enough businessmen to amass billion dollar fortunes, have ompletely forgotten everything they ever knew about running a successful organization.

[James D.]

Re: Sessions

he may not be a total swamp creature, but he's definitely blind to the nature of the progs. He sees the hard-leftists at DoJ and the Clintons and the rest (wrongfully) as peers. He may disagree with them on everything but they're basically decent people. People like him, just with different politics. Respectable people. Not as the toxic, destructive monsters they are.

That 7:11 is worth a repost and definitely worth reading. This is what Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey, McCabe, Holder, and Lynch shut down.

[henry]

Narrative Change Alert: The Economist on Twitter now claims Mueller is trying to make it harder for foreigners to influence US elections, not trying to remove Trump.

Mueller's coup failed. This is the spin.

Mark Shields turns on Obama
"it’s proof, ... to me of how little Barack Obama cared about the Democratic Party or about politics."

To excuse H's money grubbing:
" He was leaving the party $24 million in debt, therefore, vulnerable to Hillary Clinton’s coterie of big givers."

[henry]

Woodruff, Shields, and Brooks. That qualifies as "Lamentations of their women." Good to hear.

[mockmook]
