Pro Tip: Don't Hit, Run, Hide and Freeze

The punishment did not fit the crime:

Milwaukee man hides after crash, freezes to death

Mark Henderson was on parole for pleading guilty in a 2012 fatal hit-and-run

MILWAUKEE —

A Milwaukee man ran from an accident scene, hid in the bushes, and ended up freezing to death, according to a report released Wednesday by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office.

Mark Henderson, 34, blew a red light at 99th and Good Hope around 2 p.m. on December 30th causing a four car crash. Henderson ran from the scene and hid in the bushes from police.

His body was found the next day by his girlfriend and the homeowner near North 97th and Good Hope Road. The medical examiner report said Henderson was lying between a shed and wooden fence.

Henderson was on parole for pleading guilty in a 2012 fatal hit-and-run.

More on the current story here. In the 2012 hit and run he was apparently drag-racing when he struck two pedestrians, killing one. Bad karma right there.

Too late for the Titanic.

I now know what it is like to live in a house that is being renovated and where all the furniture, paintings, bath room accessories, my museum (3 large display cabinets, golf club and tennis display sets, etc. has been placed upstairs where I have to live, eat, sleep and shower, etc.

Plus I am sharing this with 3 beagles. And the dust from the plastering of all last week is piling up and the vacuum system is not working but I am dusting and dusting and dusting.

I leave on the 17th to drive back to Southampton and then the Mrs. will fly down here to continue her supervision and hopefully completing the floors, painting, installation of all the furniture that is store upstairs or in the garage. I am figuring a good 6 more months. Just in time for summer.

I think you're right, OL. It appears that the reason Byron York thinks there was at tentative FBI agreement to pay Steele is based on a WaPo story.

From Oct 25, 2017:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-after-trump-dossier-revelation-fbi-is-next/article/2638540

According to a February report in the Washington Post, Steele "reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work."

...

In the end, according to reports, the FBI did not pay Steele. But the dossier did not go away. Indeed, in January 2017, Comey briefed President-elect Trump (and President Obama) on the dossier's contents.

Of course, Judge Napolitano reported on this as well, but he's not as solid as York, and York should know that the WaPo is far from solid.

Back to doubting this until we see some facts.

[Old Lurker]

Jack, since we are such good friends, I will not remind you that that all started as a kitchen remodel about 3(?) years ago...

[Jim Eagle]

One of my memories from living in Icecland and Newfoundland as a young kid was the trips to the coast or the cliffs to picnic and watch the Icebergs come by. It was always late spring or summer. My school in St. John's was Saint Bonaventure and the brothers made a day trip up to Marconi hill to watch them come by and explain to us how the form and how they birth and the currents that propel them. Not too far away was the monster who took out the Titanic.

Never saw a moose or polar bear on one or a Boston weather lady.

[Jane]

Has TC been around? He got massive flooding where he lives. I hope he is okay.

Since Sessions have been to Gitmo, my guess is (as someone above suggested) MS 13 going there. That would be legal I suspect since they are illegal altho a bunch are DACA so who knows?

Boy that would send great message - it's perfect.

[Jim Eagle]

OL,

Actually, it started in late April 2014 when we tore out the old Laundry and some wall that needed to be taken out for the kitchen. Hey, but once you are getting it on then go all the way.

Funny story, I blame Frederick. He told us on our trip up to Southampton for the summer that wouldn't it be neat if he could start school in Southampton after Labor Day and then in January switch to Florida which gets out in late May versu Southampton in late June:)

Thinking about Mrs. thought it was a great idea and she could get more done in Florida. Its all his fault:)

[Extraneus]

Here's from the February WaPo report:

The former British spy who authored a controversial dossier on behalf of Donald Trump’s political opponents alleging ties between Trump and Russia reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work, according to several people familiar with the arrangement.

The agreement to compensate former MI6 agent Christopher Steele came as U.S. intelligence agencies reached a consensus that the Russians had interfered in the presidential election by orchestrating hacks of Democratic Party email accounts.

While Trump has derided the dossier as “fake news” compiled by his political opponents, the FBI’s arrangement with Steele shows that the bureau considered him credible and found his information, while unproved, to be worthy of further investigation.

Ultimately, the FBI did not pay Steele. Communications between the bureau and the former spy were interrupted as Steele’s now-famous dossier became the subject of news stories, congressional inquiries and presidential denials, according to the people familiar with the arrangement, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

Unsourced and unverified.

[Extraneus]

Unsourced and unverified.

Not to mention the only reason they reported it is to lend credence to the dossier, so they had motive to lie.

[boatbuilder]

The credibility of any news report based on "people familiar with the matter" or other unnamed "sources" is entirely dependent on the "journalistic ethics" of the reporter.

Think about that.

"...the FBI’s arrangement with Steele shows that the bureau considered him credible and found his information, while unproved, to be worthy of further investigation."

Well, that's one possible interpretation...

[Extraneus]

Yes, the whole point of why they reported it was to leave that impression, not realizing that they were planting a landmine under their own allies.

[Jim Eagle]

Beside congressioal leaders he had Mattis, Pompeo and Nielsen. So, more than their legislative agenda.

Trudeau Government Making Summer Job Program Contingent On Supporting Abortion

Canada’s Trudeau government is forcing pro-life groups to say they support abortion in order to access a federal summer jobs program.

As the National Post reports, a pro-life group in Toronto is taking the federal government to court over the policy, saying their right to respect the rights of the unborn are being squashed by the Liberal government’s insistence that they support “reproductive rights” if they wish to apply for a grant to hire summer students.

Groups applying for the Canada Summer Jobs program must now answer “yes” to the question of whether their group supports “individual human rights” — except for the Trudeau government those human rights include abortion.

“The government recognizes that women’s rights are human rights,” the application form states. This includes sexual and reproductive rights — and the right to access safe and legal abortions.”

[derwill]

There were many years when I was a LIV, so it's highly possible that it's been done before--but has any president ever gathered the leaders in Congress and in his administration together in one place and mapped out a strategy for what they want to accomplish in the coming year?

This is very much a CEO type thing to do. Set goals and priorities and a rough roadmap of how you plan to achieve them.

Also, JiB, I think he' finally got the GOPe on board with his agenda. (Pence and Scalise had this look of . . . I don't know--a mixture of pride and awe, maybe?--on their faces while he was speaking.) After years of letting themselves get kicked in the teeth by the Dems and the MSM, they're finally winning and I think they like the feeling.

First he changed the party during the election by realigning the electorate. and now he's changing the party leadership--by showing them how to play the game to win. That's what a great leader does. As Scott Adams so rightly put it. He gets people to imagine the impossible.

Good evening! Hubby and his cousin golfed today. Despite the cool temps,they saw five "cute" baby gators enjoying the sun on the edge of a pond.
An 18 year old Greek Orthodox man found the Epiphany cross in the annual dive at Tarpon Springs. The 67 men were allowed to wear wet suits this year.

[Neo]

Decades ago, I learned a fundamental property of politics ... politicians don’t like to be made to feel powerless. Back then, the new threat ... voice stress analysis. The idea that a machine could listen to anybody’s voice and tell you they are lying, terrified politicians. In my state, they banned it’s use.
Today, the idea that some psychologist or psychiatrist could cause a politician to be removed from office is just as terrifying.

While waiting for jury duty, I once got to watch a guy get committed to a mental hospital. His crime ? He had an alternative theory to the Kennedy assasination and had attempted to contact a US Senator. What was amazing was just how easy it looked to send this poor soul to a mental hospital.

The Democrats have got to remember that the slippery slope only goes one direction. If they even try to go the “mental route”, whether they manage to remove Trump or not, they open the door to their own demise.

Right now, there are more wacky mental cases on Capitol Hill than there ever will be in the White House. Maxine Waters comes to mind immediately, but there are enough wackos in the Democratic caucus to fill at least a full sized school bus.

Elizabeth Warren Is ‘In Favor’ of Some of the Results of the GOP Tax Bill

"Look, I am glad when I read that there are companies that have given out thousand dollar bonuses," Warren replied.

But...

"Let's keep in mind, the giveaway was $1.4 trillion, and it was given directly to the biggest corporations and the billionaires in this country," Warren said.

That should be asked of Mueller, and if Mueller says he hasn't started drafting it yet, it should be demanded of him "Why Not?" since that's the way the FBI has done it in the past.

Playing catch up, having gone down to Philly for our annual meetings. Had lunch with an old friend who quoted a mutual acquaintance, a successful trader on Wall Street, which I paraphrase as follows: "I've been talking to CEOs at US companies who say the atmosphere this past year versus under Obama is like night and day. Under Obama they were getting besieged every week with letters ordering them to comply with this or that new regulation. Since January 2017, it just stopped. Complete silence. They can actually just go about running their businesses."

Dow 36,000 anyone?

And my friend who was a vocal NeverTrumper, said: "I have to tell you, this last year has been better than I ever could have expected."

And if that excerpt on Reddit of the Wolff book is legit, I almost think Wolff is going to announce that the whole thing is a spoof. The gorilla stations thing sounds tame and plausible compared to what's in the book.

Also, being a grammar scold, I couldn't help noticing how badly it's written. Like this: "... Mr. Manafort's passing mention of a woman in a white muumuu whom had been in attendance."

C'mon, this guy is a professional writer and he makes clunkers like that? If he doesn't fess up that the whole thing was a joke, I'm going to be sorry I ever said anything positive about him.

[Marlene]

A group of newly hatched alligators is called a pod. A larger group of alligators,the gator "family" is called a congregation. You learn something new every day!

[Jim Eagle]

Dow 36,000 would be the greatest creation of wealth ever in this country and every 401K, trust and thrift funds would explode. But where to you get the people to fill the skilled positions created? Robots or Humans?

That is the big question.

When hubby told me about the baby gators,he called them a litter. I said,no they aren't called a litter. What are they called?
