This news about Vanessa Trump (wife of Donald Jr.) is appalling.

Vanessa Trump taken to hospital as precaution after white powder sent to her home

by TOM WINTER and JONATHAN DIENST

President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law was taken to a Manhattan hospital as a precaution on Monday after a suspicious letter containing an unidentified white powder was sent to her apartment, senior law enforcement and city officials told NBC News.

The letter was addressed to Vanessa Trump's husband, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest child of the president and his ex-wife Ivana.

After the letter was opened, three people at the residence were taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center strictly as a precaution, the New York City Fire Department said.

There is no indication anyone suffered any injuries; the NYPD said the substance was deemed to be non-hazardous and was taken to a lab for further analysis.

"How disturbed must a person be to do what they did to a mother of five children?'' Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal attorney, said in a statement. "This dangerous and reckless act goes beyond political differences."

Well, it ought to go beyond political differences. We'll see.

Clarice,

Somewhere I read that the 302's from Flynn were changed at the direction of McCabe.

Sorry that I didn't keep a link - too much stuff to keep track of. Does anyone else remember that?

How is the free money and inflation not related,

Another question, how does this fellow not know of what his employee was doing at the time:

Probably exculpatory was intended?--

Considering the "sperm in the picture" link I was guessing "ejaculatory".

[Extraneus]

If the anonymous sources are right, he may have done it.

Investigative journalist Sara Carter reported on Fox News last night that outgoing FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe may be in serious trouble if the information she had received from FBI sources proves to be true.

"I have been told tonight by a number of sources ... that McCabe may have asked FBI agents to actually change their 302s," Carter told host Sean Hannity.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Thanks, Extraneus. As Clarice said, we don't know if this also applied to Flynn's, but as much as they hated Flynn, it wouldn't surprise me.

[Clarice Feldman]

Thnx for digging that up, Et

[jimmyk]

the story yesterday about the Senate suddenly having doubts about approving the Fed Chair based on the fear that he might focus on inflation more than free money?

Was that about Powell or Goodfriend (the nominee to the Fed Board)? I hadn't seen anything about Powell, but I know there was some trouble over Goodfriend's nomination.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Having finally read it, it seems to me there is only one rational way to read Rice's email.
She knew what they had done would be revealed and so she tried to put the best face possible on all their actions because she knew how bad they were.
Amateur hour and like all amateurs the actual motive is incredibly transparent to a third party experienced in such CYA. The more she repeats their painstaking minding of their Ps n Qs the more you know she's lying through her teeth and was almost undoubtedly instructed to write it.
Case closed.

[James D.]

How is the free money and inflation not related,
Even in introductory entrail reading ahem microeconomics that should be obvious.

You don't even need an introductory class. It's a pretty basic point that any thinking human ought to be able to grasp.

So which is worse: that our Senators are THAT stupid and incapable of understanding the simplest economic ideas; or that they understand perfectly well and just don't care?

[Jack is Back!]

"I have been told tonight by a number of sources ... that McCabe may have asked FBI agents to actually change their 302s," Carter told host Sean Hannity.

Remeber, McCabe had a long-standing personal beef with Flynn because of Flynn's support of the long-time national security female FBI agent who was performance graded down and out by McCabe.

Iggy linked this story about Two Americas:

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/02/is-california-starting-to-spiral-the-drain.php

Yesterday, in San Diego, a cop was involved in a solo car wreck where he lost control, hit the center divide and careened back across all lanes until his car came to a stop 10 feet off the shoulder of the freeway. The reporter breathlessly informed lesser Americans that the cop and the suspect, that was riding in the back , appeared to have minor injuries and it was a "miracle" that this wasn't worse. She got the miracle schtick from the verbal statement of a muckity-muck cop spokesman. "As a precaution we are transporting both by ambulance to the nearest trauma center."

As the sky camera panned to a more complete view of the single car, scrapes and bumps incident I placed a bet with my wife, "how much will you give me if there is more than 10 cop cars blocking freeway traffic for what amounts to a car illegally parked in the iceplant on the shoulder?"

We counted over 20 police cars 2 fire trucks and various CalTrans vehicles. The went ahead and unnecessarily blocked 1 or 2 lanes of traffic depending on where they parked.

They then went to the reporter at the hospital. She noted that police officers keep showing up to check on their brother and they are filling the waiting room.

So much for the long standing narrative that the city is short on staffing in the police department.

Hey Iggy, did you happen to catch that Byron York story?

[Rocco]

Every year we'd have to be re-certified in certain training procedures like CPR/First Aid, Fire Safety, Handguns, etc and quite often our instructors would tell us off the record, to write reports and send them to ourselves, leaving them un-opened in case they're needed to save our ass down the road. The reason being reports often disappear when they could help you defend yourself from corrupt bosses who would rather see you holding that bucket of shit than them holding it. And that's exactly what they taught...that policies and procedures written by higher-ups are there to protect them not you. Don't get caught holding that bucket of shit.

I was questioned by the FBI for an incident at work once and asked why the officer in question mailed a report that he wrote to himself. And that's the answer I gave them. Gotta run, hope all is well.

[Thomas Collins]

The letters from Graham and Grassley have the flavor of those two already knowing the answers to the queries in the letters.

This is not 4-D chess, or even 2-D checkers. This is far better. This is Columbo like investigatory work by the Senate and House gumshoes, and nifty politics by Nunes, Graham and Grassley. Since there will ultimately be a political solution (no one goes to jail, and many folks in Justice and the intel agencies decide to spend more time with their families) based on gumshoe work, it's a great unfolding show.

[Thomas Collins]

I think the most likely case is the one set forth in the article linked in CH's 7:05 AM post (at thenation.com, of all places).

OL, someone should have explained to Goodfriend that he needed to get every R, including Paul, or pivot left and pick up a few Dems. By going down the middle he did neither.

Jordan Sekulow: Again, two weeks and a day later, her last act as National Security Advisor on the day President Trump is being inaugurated, the minutes she has left in the White House, she memorializes a meeting from two weeks ago. I tend to believe Shannon, this is my honest belief on this, is that this was Susan Rice’s attempt to blunt someone who either saw this meeting taking place. It may have been someone on the outskirts of the meeting, not a principal but someone who attended and ultimately this would come up. So she wanted to memorialize it so it did not look like something the White House under the Obama administration was trying to hide.

[Extraneus]

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/joni-ernst-disappointed-with-trumps-message-on-domestic-violence-abuse-is-never-ok/article/2648934

“I think he (Trump) needs to send a stronger message,” Ernst said on CNN Tuesday. “We need to send a very clear signal that it won’t be tolerated and it won’t be tolerated with our employees,”

“I am extremely disappointed in this situation,” Ernst said. “Abuse is never OK.”

When asked about the White House plans to set up a briefing for Porter to share his side of the story and justify a photo recently released of Porter’s first wife shown with a black eye, Ernst slammed the idea.

“You can’t justify that,” Ernst said, adding she believes the women in their allegations of abuse against Porter.

She believes. Well that should be good enough for me I guess.

Could it have been the result of a drunken scuffle, where the wife in the picture fell and hit her eye on a piece of furniture? Accidental contact with an elbow? Is it possible she was the aggressor?

No. The man stands accused of punching his innocent wife in the face and is therefore guilty as charged, even though he wasn't charged.

Btw, judging by the color of her eye, the picture was taken at least a day after whatever happened.

[Extraneus]

She's not even willing to let the guy tell his side of the story.

Guilty as charged.

California AG Threatens to Sue if Trump Administration Places Citizenship Question on Census

What the Trump Administration is requesting is not just alarming, it is illegal. The Constitution requires that, every 10 years, we accurately count every person in our country, regardless of citizenship status. This is a sacred responsibility.

Actually it's not. It's a legal responsibility. So how is adding the question not counting the people?

[GUS]

So this moronic fuxstix Christopher Wray is telling me that MOST OF THE FBI agents work hard, in fact one lady had an accident and got 12 stitches in her face, yet she worked the next day. Most of our agents are brave super humans!!!

[Extraneus]

So in Rice's letter to herself, she indicates that Obama contemplated hiding intelligence from Trump. Is that even legal?

"The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book," Rice wrote, according to an excerpt included in the senators' letter.

"From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming [Trump] team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia."

Does this indicate that they did in fact hide information from Trump?

[Threadkiller]

The Constitution requires that, every 10 years, we accurately count every person in our country, regardless of citizenship status. This is a sacred responsibility.

Dipshits.

The first censuses counted the population and provided information on population by county. In 1790, the census also categorized white males by age: those under age 16 and those age 16 and older. Over the years, Congress has authorized additional questions, enabling us to better understand the nation's inhabitants and their activities and needs. In fact, one of the nation's founders, James Madison, suggested that the census takers ask additional questions that would help lawmakers better understand the needs of the nation..

..Through the decades, the census has collected data on race, ancestry, education, health, housing, and transportation. An examination of the questions asked during each census illustrates changes in our nation's understanding of race, the impact of immigration, growth of the Hispanic population, and computer usage. As a result of the census's evolution, the constitutionally mandated census has grown to provide important information about the U.S. population and its housing. Coupled with data from the economic and government censuses and demographic and economic surveys, the U.S. Census Bureau provides governments, scholars, planners, businesses, and individuals the data they need to build schools, plan highways, open businesses, and distribute the billions of dollars in federal spending that sustains a growing population.

The NYT "art critic" says that the Obama portrait radiates "gravitas." He goes on:

Mr. Wiley depicts Mr. Obama not as a self-assured, standard-issue bureaucrat, but as an alert and troubled thinker. Ms. Sherald’s image of Mrs. Obama overemphasizes an element of couturial spectacle, but also projects a rock-solid cool.

I would suggest the NYT give that writer a drug test.

"The only enemy here is overreach," Schumer said. "Now is not the time nor the place to reform the entire legal immigration system. Rather, this is the time for a narrow bill" -- which Democrats have said would help the Dreamers and provide some money for border security.

Democrats finally realizing that Trump has seized the day and was about to repeat the lesson of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ...

The party of the POTUS who signs the bill, gets the credit

LBJ took the credit for the Civil Rights Act and the Black community shifted to the Democratic Party, even though most of the votes were from Republicans.

I'd love to have a comparison to the Obama administration's transition period .

From Obama's election until his swearing in...what foreigners did HIS team meet with, talk to, or correspond with?
Did the IC monitor THEM?
Did the IC dig into the past of everyone on Obama's team & then monitor those that had ever interacted with a foreigner or a foreign business?
Did the Bush administration withhold info from them?

So many accusations against the Trump admin. are not even big deals...the MFM try to make regular things sound nefarious because the general public doesn't know the process.
The MFM did it with Trump making his own appointments in the State Dept.. Like it was somehow evil to ask Obama appointments to step down. That's how it ALWAYS works.

Here's from the Constitution:

“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers…The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”

Anyone who has received the American Community Survey knows how intrusive it is, and how far beyond "enumeration" it goes. (That's the super census that asks much more personal questions of randomly selected victims than the usual 10-year one.) I refused and was harassed and threatened over it, and ended up daring them to prosecute me before a guy on the phone agreed to accept a bunch of "not applicable" answers. Of course, I'm a citizen, so that was all kosher. I wonder if they'd harass and threaten a non-citizen in such a fashion. (Just kidding.)

I'm pretty sure the "in such Manner as they shall by Law direct" wasn't originally intended to go beyond the methods for counting the people, such as whether by mailings vs. door-to-door, etc.

Mr. Wiley depicts Mr. Obama not as a self-assured, standard-issue bureaucrat, but as an alert ignorant and troubled thinker psychopath with a delusions of submediocrity.

Yes, Janet, the attempt at a pretext for withholding information from the incoming administration is as big a story as the "by the book" hand-waving.

RNC: Sen. Elizabeth Warren, ‘FAUXCAHONTAS,’ is a no-show at tribal conference

The Republican National Committee is poking fun at Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s absence from the National Congress of American Indians Tribal Summit in Washington — asking where is “FAUXCAHONTAS.”

Ms. Warren’s claims of Native American ancestry without solid evidence has dogged the Massachusetts Democrat since her successful 2012 Senate bid and provided ammunition for President Trump to mock her on various occasions as “Pocahontas.”

Mike Reed, a research director at the RNC, noted that several members of Congress — including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, as well as Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota — are set to speak at the summit, which kicked off Monday and runs through Thursday.

“Notably absent from the list is the only current U.S. Senator who has claimed minority status as a Native American, Elizabeth Warren,” Mr. Reed wrote in an email blast. “To this day, Warren claims to be ‘proud’ of her Native American heritage and speaks of how her family ‘spoke more forcefully than ever about the importance of not forgetting our Native American roots.’”

Parents Battle Court To Stop Transgender Teen’s Hormone Treatment

Parents are battling in an Ohio court to gain custody of their child, who alleges that her parents have not been supportive of her gender identity.

The biological girl, 17, identifies as a boy and alleges the lack of support at home drove her to suicidal tendencies. The teen now lives with her grandparents and sits under the legal guardianship of a family services center.

The teen and parents — who’ve requested to remain anonymous to protect their privacy — have taken their case to court after medical experts deemed her case as a possible “life-or-death situation,” resulting from the father’s refusal to call his daughter by her chosen name and their rejection of her male identity, court records posit, according to CNN.
