The Florida Senate passed a package of gun violence measures Monday. Now it is on the the Florida House and eventually, the Governor's desk.

However, the clock may run out since this regular legislative session ends on Friday.

Ralph,

While I was outside ChiTown sent me a bunch of messages about stuff being uncovered in those emails.

So I went to see what was going on and Q dropped a hint "SUM OF ALL FEARS."

I read Clancy's book by that title years ago so went to refresh my mind on the plot. It's the one about a nuke at the Super Bowl and a president manipulated by a scheming wife. Hmmmm.

Also includes Israel and Saudi special forces and Iran.

I now return to following normal news, as the Q stuff sends me into deep paranoia.

Moved from the other thread:

I read someone's comment (SBW?) that what Mueller is really up to is making himself indictment-proof.

That's a helluva theory and explains his actions and choices as well as anything.

That would be an incredibly reckless thing for Mueller to be up to. Trump IS the president and he IS the boss and he DID run on the fairly revolutionary (for the US) campaign promise of sending Hillary to prison. It's going to be WAY easier to send Bob Mueller to prison than Hillary. It's going to be WAY easier to send Hillary to prison if Bob Mueller is already in prison.

Are the Deep Staters really so out of touch that they believe that they are stronger than the president? Stronger than THIS president?

Barack Obama's trademark was apologizing to world leaders. With so much practice, Obama should have no problem with apologizing to President Donald John Trump for handing over a nuclear capable North Korea.

Chelsea Clinton To Trump: ‘Do Your Job’

The comments came Tuesday during her appearance on The View after co-host Sunny Hostin asked the former first daughter what troubled her “most about the state of the country right now” and what message she would say to the president about it.

“Please do your job. Focus on your job. And please don’t worry about the Oscar ratings,” Clinton responded. “Or how my mom is doing, although, thank you. She’s doing great.”

“Like, please worry about — you know, what’s happening on the Korean Peninsula,” she added. “Please worry about how to ensure that what the Parkland students are saying ‘never again’ is truly never again. So, we never have another school shooting in our country.”

“Please worry about, you know, what you can do from the federal government’s perspective to ensure that teachers in West Virginia and everywhere are paid appropriately,” she continued. “Whatever issue that you most care about, please, like, lead us forward on that. So, that’s what I’d say to the president. So Mr. President, if you’re watching, well, you heard what I said.”

TK: "The deep staters and the not so deep staters put an illegal alien in the oval office."

Getting Obama elected was an amazing stunt. Not because of the color of his skin. Obviously that was a huge plus.
But the negatives were obvious and stunning.
A guy with almost no achievements. No important job in the private sector held. At the beginning of his first term in the Senate. Voted "present" a lot in the IL legislature.
All that AND they had to shoulder aside Hillary who, with all her faults, had a strong support base in the Dem machinery.

Has a book been written to make sense of how they pulled it off? Or is there a stable of Muslim billionaires busily stifling the story from meeting the light of day?

Not "nice" of me, MM, just accurate. People who prayed for Hillary, or Mittens, or any other loser, found their prayers to be ineffective. Which is why it's always an eye-roller, for me, when an athlete credits their win to their prayers - the other team prayed too.

From Clarice, prev thread:
"Here's the Schweikart thread unrolled:https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/97106324577"

Three theories of what Mueller is up to. Although the key bits of evidence supporting each interpretation are provided, one item is conspicuous by its absence. Isn't the Mueller Team staffed largely (completely?) by Hillary backers? If Mueller is a white hat are the Hill-bots unaware? Complicit? Being distracted from what is happening in plain sight?

maryrose, the Dem primary in the 7th is very heated. I would expect big Dem turnout there. Republicans have held the seat since 1967 but Dems will fund it heavily this year because it narrowly went to Hillary in 2016.

Which is why it's always an eye-roller, for me, when an athlete credits their win to their prayers - the other team prayed too.

hrt, there's a difference. I can understand your presumption that God doesn't take sides in sporting contests, at least not in an obvious way. It doesn't follow that one side in a vast political and moral battle isn't more in line with what God wants than another side. Praying that your side is the "right" one in that battle is not subject to the same criticism as the one you make about sporting contests.

With lawyers and jail in her possible future I wouldn’t get too comfortable on that couch on the View.

I don't want to go all Iggy and say "Hillary will never go to prison," but unfortunately I do think it's pretty unlikely. At this point I'd settle for an end to the SC's investigation, and some prosecutions of higher-ups in the FBI that pushed the bogus FISA applications.

A long time theory was that he was being groomed by Chicago power brokers to be their mayor. Lots of their players get tied to him.

I don't think they had POTUS in mind until his 2004 speech. It was shortly after that when Dick Durbin made several inquiries as to whether or not someone with Obama's citizenship status was eligible. When it became obvious that the answer was no, they modified Obama's citizenship status and started scrubbing.

Obama actually got Michigan votes from a primary he never entered.
At a meeting on a Saturday morning they actually gave him some of Hillary’s votes.
Michigan was being punished for jumping the line with their primary.
Hillary campaigned and had her name on the ballot and Obama didn’t.
I think Hillary learned how to cheat like this and 8 years later made sure She and not Sanders got the nomination by having the Dem Party limit the debates and rig the votes and money.

MM---> this reminded me of something i took in from the book "BOLD", an entrepreneurial theme for going big in binness to make wealth and alter the course of humanity.

Here's what you said: "I now return to following normal news, as the Q stuff sends me into deep paranoia"

In "BOLD", the author recounts an infamous moment by an infamous "fake news" comedian who's now no longer on TV.

He came onto his daily show (hint hint) and was flipped out crazy about a news story he'd just seen. Played a clip from the story on "Asteroid Mining" (a project announced back in 2012 by the "BOLD" author himself).

The host came back on after the clip and said: "THAT is my idea of what news should be about in 2012!"

Really. I think I feel the same way. With all the discovery and leading edge thought coming down the pike--- and we get Hillary Clinton, the foulness of the Deep State, and silly birds tittering without a view to anything EXTRAORDINARY.

Imagine a major network being devoted to NOTHING but news of the EXTRAORDINARY, with a special subchannel focused on nothing but that trend in innovation in Amerka.

TK---> "A prayer answered is equal to a prayer unanswered."

That principle rests within one of the Seven Aspects of God we were taught in grade school.

God is Principle. As well as Truth, Life, Love, Infinite Intelligence, Spirit, and Principle.

In keeping with that, a corollary we were taught under "Infinite Intelligence": "Praying *IS* the answer." When done properly, that is *not* using it as a 1-800 number to "Big Ernie's Wish Hotline", PRAYER is the Golden Key.

The order to the madness from which we seek deliverance lies behind the madness---> prayer will reveal it by giving us "eyes that see". In turn, the resulting focus reveals meaning quite possibly rooted in Capital T Troof.

Then we know what to do.

The software that runs Twitter cannot be too complicated, minus all of their algorithms for screening people and bumping preferred customers up.

I have a Gab account but the site for some reason is sort of clunky. Maybe if they would tweak it a bit, or if Peter Theil could devise something new, it would be a good thing.

" President Trump is strong, but based on everything we've seen to date, he can count his actual loyal, reliable allies at DoJ and within the FBI on his fingers, while his enemies there number in the thousands."
Posted by: James D.

James---> true dat, logistically anyway.

POTUS enjoys the tactical advantage of asymmetrical warfare, however.

While his enemies there number in the thousands, POTUS is wracking up an enormous body count whenever any single enemy acts.

They leave trails and end up under investigative exposure. Sure, that exposure or investigation aren't featured on the Nightly News or on We Are The World type of blogs.

Nevertheless, the exposed become radioactive to the subterranean brain trust that is as deep underground as it is diffuse in location, status, and expertise.

Losses are mounting. And still no indictments, traction on impeachment, and the mid-terms are impending.

By racking up the body count, the opposing force begins to see what they thought was an easy victory (because they were "ahead 50 points" in the polls at one time--- manner of speaking) slipping away. Comey is dust. That Gerbil McCabe is dust. etc etc.

POTUS is attacking their will to fight. And once that begins his enemies begin to do insignificant things to feign superiority. ("We won't charge Flynn just yet. But don't leave town, Buddy!"

Decimation of their will includes relentless attacks on the egos of the Lyin Swine Media. The younger dawgz coming on the scene are wondering why they can't "do journalism" like Cheryl Atkisson. LOL

Well, hon, if ya gotta ask that question you just might never know. Amirite?

If will to fight goes to ZERO-ty, dialed down from ELEVENTY (when all of em were with 'Her')
then the #Resistance goes to Zero, despite their mighty resources.

POTUS understands the mathematical equation of war--- war of any kind: Resistance = Resources x Will (to fight). Reduce either Resources or Will to ZERO and the fight is over.

It's clear to me asymmetric warfare advantages the out-resourced warrior. And we elected one.

MAGA!

As to the 2nd and 7th districts in Texas. I live in the 2nd having been redistricted out of the 7th. Ted Poe (R-2)is retiring, he has had some cancer problems. There are six republicans running in the primary. The only problem is there might be a runoff. John Culberson (R-7)is running again. If you remember, he is the guy who asked Chris Matthews if he still had a tingle running up his leg. While the district went slightly for HRC in 2016 it has returned a Republican to Congress every time since GHWB won it in 1967. An interesting note in the Democrat primary is that the national party is trying to sabotage on of its candidates because they consider them as too liberal for the district

I read a story last week about some Mexican illegal pleading guilty to having stolen 360K from some American citizens by collecting Social Security checks. The Americans apparently did not know it was occurring due to not yet having applied for Social Security.

Because of that and my identity and mail theft problems, I called into the Social Security number and logged on to the Social Security website and tried to see if I could find out if that has happened to me. The phone number site and the website are un-navigable if you are trying to simply find out if you have been defrauded, so I came down to the Social Security Office in town and took a number and have been sitting for an hour waitning for my number to be called. I only have another 40 minutes on the parking meter so my guess is I will not be called.

You always get a FredXpress to Bal'more and go visit the main office. No waiting there but you'll probably need an introduction. My bet is that everyone in front of your in Anchorage are disability applicants. Biggest fraud in America today.

A DOSSIER PLOT TO GET TRUMP TO RESIGN?

The week before Thanksgiving, Wood briefed McCain at the Halifax International Security Forum. McCain was deeply concerned. He asked a former aide, David Kramer, to go to England to meet Steele. Kramer, a Russia expert who had served at the State Department, went over the dossier with Steele for hours. After Kramer promised to share the document only with McCain, Steele arranged for Kramer to receive a copy in Washington. But a former national-security official who spoke with Kramer at the time told me that one of Kramer’s ideas was to have McCain confront Trump with the evidence, in the hope that Trump would resign. “He would tell Trump, ‘The Russians have got you,’ ” the former official told me.

Sure, it was Kramer's idea, not McCain's. Very believable.

Thanks, Miss Marple.

If I don't get called soon I'll leave but come back in future with an entire pocket of quarters. Quite the experience.
