On Luara Ingraham's Show she plays this clip of Sessions responding earlier to Tucker Carlson, then asks Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows for comments:
Sessions replying to Tucker: I'm confident that deputy Rosenstein, 28 years in the Department of Justice, did not improperly threaten anyone on that occasion, but we do believe that we have tried to be cooperative with them and have made progress as the months have gone by, and in fact have had some good relationships with the Members of Congress.
===================
Laura Ingraham; Jim, what do you think about what you just heard from the Attorney General (Jeff Sesions)?
Jim Jordan: I was flabbergasted. What is the Attorney General saying? Rod Rosenstein hasn't complied with Devin Nunes's Subpoena, hasn't complied with Chairman Goodlatte's Subpoena. We've caught them hiding information in the Strzok-Page text messages, redacting the fact that Peter Strzok was friends with Contreras, one of the FISA Court Judges. They tried to hide that from us, and today we learn in Katherine Herridge's report that in essence the head of the Justice Department, Rod Rosenstein, was threatening members of the House Intelligence Committee for doing their job, for trying to get answers for the American people. And the Attorney General says "That's OK, we're doing just fine." I didn't know he said that. You just played it. I'm like, "Are you kidding me?" This report of Herridge's is unbelievable. When you have the Head of the Justice Department, Rod Rosenstein saying he's going to go after Staff Members E-Mails and Communications---we're doing our Constitutional Duty. That's scary.
Laura Ingraham: Congressman Meadows, what I think he 's saying is that if you guys hold him Contempt, he's going to have to defend himself. And part of the defense will be he wants Discovery, he wants to know who you've been talking to, who Jim's been talking to, he wants to know your text messages. (jokes) Maybe they won't redact your documents like they did to Page and Strzok.
Mark Meadows: There's two problems with this Laura. One, is that we're a separate branch of Govt. They don't have the right to do that unless we're coming under some kind of Criminal Investigation. And for the Attorney General to say "he's confident that Rod Rosenstein did everything right," well I'm confident he doesn't know what he's talking about! I'm here to tell you we're fed up with it. We've been working on a resolution (holds it up) we've got a resolution here tonight that we're putting the finishing touches on. We plan to file that tomorrow.
Laura: (interrupting) What is it?
Meadows: It is all about compelling the DOJ to turn over documents so that we can do proper oversight. You know if they have nothing to hide turn over the documents. Jim is exactly right, this is inexcusable.
Laura: So what is the Resolution? Tell us what it is.
Jordan: We're putting together a Resolution we'd frankly like to bring to the Full House and have the House vote on it. It's one thing for us to say, it's one thing for Chairman Subpoena, it's another thing if the House of Representatives would actually go on record and say "Mr Rosenstein, we of the House, a majority of the House say you're not giving us the information we need, and frankly now that we have found out that you were threatening members of the Committee staff, a standing Committee in the House of Representatives...
Laura: ...He's going to defend himself against your threatening to hold him in contempt. How does he defend himself?
If he wants to defend himself, let let him come on tomorrow night with Jim and I and he can lay out his talking points. You know why he doesn't come on, they'd rather do 'Private Press Releases' to spin the narrative at Midnight and try to act like they are complying. We've had a document out since December 3rd of last year, we still don't have the documents...
Laura: ...Are we talking Impeachment?...
Meadows"That is on the table...I'm here to tell you we are going to have a vote in the House up or down, and we are going to have those documents...
=================
Ran out of tape but it turned into comments that both men talked with Ryan and Gowdy very recently and Ryan and Gowdy are not on board with the Resolution---Big surprise.

Regardless of THE MYTH of OBAMA....the DUDE is a complete and utter FUCK UP. His life's history is clear. He's an emotionally fucked up pussy, with SEVERE Mommy/Daddy issues. He is a worthless piece of shit, and history will bear that out.
His upbringing was fucked up, and he was a kid, who was spoon fed, MARXISM, and we know who his PATRON was. Frank Marshall Davis. Though it is difficult to PROVE that Opie Bi-Obama was born.....ELSEWHERE...... who he is, and HOW HE BECAME a MARXIST MUZZ LOVING FREAK.....is easily seen.

KK, there are entire industries being regulated right out of existence in CA.
And there are many more people leaving and staying left than those who find they can't live without Jerry Brown and Maxine Waters.
There is a lot of money to be made in CA in many areas of endeavor but there is a lot of money to be made elsewhere also along with many fewer regs, much more freedom and far fewer Californians.
I'm still here as a fourth or fifth generation fornian but I don't begrudge anyone leaving for greener, or more accurately, less Green pastures.

In South Carolina Sanford is trailing Katie Arrington. Shannon mentions Trump's tweet saying "Sanford would be better off in Argentina", and then plays a clip moments ago of Sanford saying "It may have cost me this Election...I'm going to lose this race."

A-Bob:
Please show me where i was "looking down my nose at people..."
Being of assistance to people who want to be more prosperous financially is what i do for a living. i show them the proper way to fish, a way they can copycat and then make there own.
Our next venture is targeting 70,000 home-based aspiring entrepreneurs defeat their greatest enemies: themselves.
It's the great equalizer. And the moment we believe we don't have to get up in the morning and win that battle is the day profit becomes theft.
Final point, with that attitude in tow each and every day, it is near difficult looking down my nose at anybody. Those losing the battle of the balance sheet are a reflection of me at age 25, the age when i first read something that showed me in my present condition and how i was the reason for the threadbare season.
i never looked back and stopped looking down at anybody who reminded me of me in my quiet desperation.

"I don't begrudge anyone leaving for greener, or more accurately,"
Ig:
Nor do i. In my business i listen to people talk, sometimes all day long about their "story" and their searches for "the magic financial bullet" after decades of following industries around the country.
The single common denominator in all of the thousands of stories that i hear is about the accumulation of debt. The whipsaw in those stories is based on leaving a state like California, and going to "where the gettin is good", while not resolving their debt issues.
One of our pre-screening qualifiers is for the candidate to develop a financial plan for paying off debt. No amount or caliber of opportunity where the individual is trading their time for money will safeguard their financial INDEPENDENCE if they are in consumer debt.
So far it's "looking down" the nose at people, and "begrudging" people their decisions to seek opps elsewhere.
I was pretty clear: there is something that sets people apart as citizens in this critical time of our history: indebtedness-- with the flip side being savings and investment, no matter what scale.
That was all.
Appreciate the point about California's regulating industries out of existence.
It's one of the reasons why i am intuiting a sea change for states that are choking on regs like California....this state is so dependent on DC that Trump is going to whip the table cloth right out from under the Democrat machine.
California needs to get back in the game.
Peace. And congrats on your new found love.

He became a national name when his extra martial affair was revealed when he said he was hiking the Appalachian Trail but was actually in Argentina...

'Bless his heart, but it's time for Mark Sanford to take a hike — for real this time,' Arrington said in one TV ad.

I'm a little surprised (probably shouldn't be) about how much negativity is being expressed in newspaper articles and editorial pieces on the summit.
Trump got played by the NoKos. All he brought back was a piece of paper. He met with the devil incarnate. Why didn't he do x, y, or z, as I would have done. What's up with the hokey 4 min. video? And on and on and on. Just pick one little thing and make a big deal out of it.
All of this, before Trump is even back in the States.
And the only concession from our side was a halt in military exercises and Mattis knew that was on the table if you look at the link below.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/pentagon-mattis-consulted-on-trump-move-to-halt-us-south-korean-war-games/ar-AAyycxr
What were these people, who had continually asked Trump to seek peace, not war, expect of this meeting.
That he would hire Daddy's FedEx to bring home all of the NoKo's weapons immediately?
What's the point of this bitchery? Are they all so Mal-adjusted that they can't give him any props? That they need to undermine every thing he does, so as not to encourage the American public to see his greatness?
It is to my mind, disgusting, and the only ones who will believe this crap, have been lost to us, and will always be lost to us because they still believe the press is being honest. And we here know this.

Hi Manny,
I was there in I think 1995 or '96. I just looked at a bunch of Google pics of Taiyuan today and boy does it look different now with all the skyscrapers than it did back then. I recall it being extremely rustic and the 3 of us had a free day so we walked for miles site-seeing the town but we wound up being looked at way more than looking at stuff. The Captain was a Black guy and the 3rd guy had a big pipe and kept filling it and smoking as we walked along, and children seeing us stopped gape mouthed, staring in disbelief. We might as well have been martians:)
I suppose like so much of the rest of China it's gone through some super rapid building spurts with skyscrapers popping out like ice cubes from an ice maker. I'm glad I got to see it in its ancient fallen down undeveloped drabness. It makes a quaint memory.

This bolded line in the 3rd paragraph of a Politico story on Sanford's defeat tonight startled me because I consider it so false:
In the end, it wasn’t the Appalachian Trail that brought down Mark Sanford. It was President Donald Trump.
The South Carolina congressman’s stunning defeat in Tuesday’s Republican primary effectively ended the turbulent two-decade career of a political icon who once harbored presidential aspirations.
From his time as a congressman in the 1990s, to his eight-year governorship, to his unexpected House comeback that followed, Sanford had long established himself as a figure who cut against the grain — the rare politician who loved to break with his own party. Yet in taking on Trump, his friends and political allies say, he took it a step too far.
Rare?
Ever heard of John McCain? Of Lindsay Graham? Of Jeff Flake? Of Paul Ryan? Of Mitch McConnell? Of Rand Paul? Of Lisa Murkowski? Of Kelly Ayotte? Of Bob Corker? Of Susan Collins? Of Jim Jeffords? Of etc, etc, etc? Hell, 90 of the problem with the Republicans is that politicians who break with the party aren't rare any more, they're a dime a dozen.
The rare Democrat who loves to break with his Party is a statement much closer to fact since those scoundrels all read from the same page, but the idea that Republicans all march in lockstep except for the rare maverick is nonsense on stilts.

Anonamom,
Agree with you and TK. Don't feed the trolls. It's a basic rule, PIN, pay attention, love you man, but don't engage the trolls.
Everybody download killfile. If you're not using Firefox, which allows that add-on, switch from your favorite browser to Firefox to view JOM and download the killfile app.
When you killfile the trolls, the thread is so much easier to read, because you can ignore all of the "Blocked by" comments.
Don't argue with the trolls, most of us can't see their comments, so we don't even know why you're arguing against them.
Killfile is your friend, use it liberally, the advantage is that threads are shorter and troll free.

My political representatives didn’t want me to get involved in the Mark Sanford primary thinking that Sanford would easily win - but with a few hours left I felt that Katie was such a good candidate, and Sanford was so bad, I had to give it a shot. Congrats to Katie Arrington!
=================================
A nice welcome home present for President Trump.

The 5 living ex President's silence on the North Korea Summit speaks louder than their silence on North Korea during their administrations! #HorriblePresidents

He's not the only one who has noticed this. Not one gracious statement from any of them. Not even a "glad he tried, we will see what happens." Nothing. What a bunch of small-minded people.

Congratulations to Corey Stewart for his great victory for Senator from Virginia. Now he runs against a total stiff, Tim Kaine, who is weak on crime and borders, and wants to raise your taxes through the roof. Don’t underestimate Corey, a major chance of winning!

Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!

Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight!

Jordan Schachtel Retweeted Carrie Johnson
"McCabe said any lapses in his memory or mistakes in his interviews w/ the IG & others were mistakes derived from the chaos inside the FBI under siege from President Trump & his allies"
Yes, Andy McCabe lied 4 times under oath & he's blaming it on Trump.

This is a perfect example of how entitled those people thought they were.

Good Morning! Shawn Moody (R) easily won the primary for governor. The Dems will have to wait six days for the ranked choice vote tabulations. ME-2 will probably be decided by ranked choice also. I honestly don't understand the process. Math is hard. :)

2022: Thousands of season ticket holders and millions of viewers walk away from the NFL, unable to sympathize with players in the only industry IN THE WORLD annually maintaining 1000+ Black millionaires, striking for better pay.
===================================
This is to the rumblings that there might be a strike in 2021.
They (NFLPA) better wake the hell up, T-Wigg.

That last phrase about waking the hell up was RG's and should go above the dotted line with the rest of his comment. I goofed up the formatting. Need more coffee.

NeverTrumpism is a Twitter/old media phenomenon. It doesn't meaningfully exist in real world. So we should not be surprised that groupthink that gets you Twitter attaboys isn't the path to success in GOP primaries. This message is brought to you by the years 2016, 2017, and 2018.

This is an old article from February of 2017 which reminds me how creepy Sanford is and why I am so glad he got defeated.

And the Libtards were banking on this as an issue in November.

Tom Maguire has a business here. He will allow the SICK FUCKER to stay, so long as business does not suffer.
This is quite unfair. TM has a large family and a busy life. It takes time and attention to police trolls. What little income he might derive from this blog has nothing to do with it.
I don't like the infestation either but to suggest it is happening because our host is greedy is ridiculous and totally unsupported.
