Don't Bomb Anyone. Please.

Anyone who wants to blow up George Soros's schemes should do so on Nov. 6. METAPHORICALLY!

An explosive device was found on Monday in a mailbox at a home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist who is a favorite target of right-wing groups, in a suburb north of New York City, the authorities said.

A law enforcement official confirmed that the device was found near Mr. Soros’s home. It did not explode on its own, and bomb squad technicians “proactively detonated” it, the official said.

This is actually scary, probably to the point of stupid [UPDATE has a more sensible version]:

Federal and state law enforcement officials responded to the scene in Katonah, N.Y., a hamlet in the upscale town of Bedford in northern Westchester County, after the Bedford Police Department received a call about a suspicious package at about 3:45 p.m.

“An employee of the residence opened the package, revealing what appeared to be an explosive device,” the police said in a statement. “The employee placed the package in a wooded area and called the Bedford police.”

Say what? OK, the package hadn't exploded yet but I strongly suspect that pressing your luck is the wrong play. If possible, evacuate the premises and lets the trained and equipped professionals do the carrying.

Or, if unwrapping the package activated something and the bomb might have exploded in a couple of minutes, let Soros pay for a new entrance foyer. Yike.

Anyway, yeah, yeah, no suspects have been found, no motivation is known, so it might be a false flag lefty operation, it might be a disgruntled kook with a grievance unrelated to politics or the political calendar, it might be a lot of things. But it might be a right-wing nutjob, and on the off chance this person is persuadable, let me add my voice to those saying, save that energy for organizing and voting. No bombs. Geez.

UPDATE: A new Times story has these details:

Officers from the police department in the town of Bedford, N.Y., initially responded to the Soros home in the hamlet of Katonah, at about 3:45 p.m. Monday in response to a call from the caretaker about a suspicious package, according to a police department statement. The Westchester County Police Department’s bomb squad was called, as were federal and state investigators.

“The caretaker went out to collect the mail and didn’t make it back to the residence,” a senior law enforcement official said. The device was packed in an envelope that was about 8 by 10 inches and “looked suspicious.” The caretaker “dropped it in the woods on the way back to the residence.”

In the age of Amazon Prime, what small package looks suspicious?

This story is worse than Rathergate.

That caravan is spooking a lot of people. Over on CTH they somehow think that the Mexicans intend to add 40,000 to the group and storm multiple crossing areas.

Another person is concerned with people already here being a sleeper force.

I am rooting for the hurricane, myself.

[Beasts of England]

I think the caravan is poorly-conceived agitprop and nothing more. I've tried to twist it into something more sinister, but there are no scenarios that make sense.

[jimmyk]

the Mexicans intend to add 40,000 to the group

From my comment on the previous thread, it seems Mexicans can be sent back, but Hondurans and Guatemalans (because they don't share a border with the US) have to be processed once they cross the border. But how would border agents know where they're from? That's aside from the impossibility of dealing with tens of thousands.

[Extraneus]

They must all be carrying their passports, Jimmy. It's required for international travel.

[pj]

40,000 plus the 7,000 or so already en route sure sounds like an invasion to me.

[Bernardi Dr la paz]

So Erdogan is Turkish for Geraldo Rivera, it looks like kamal ataturks vault, and his gold fish.

[Janet]

Someone here linked an article on how Hungary (I think) handled refugees. They created a sorta no-mans-land where refugees had to wait while their requests were processed. They could wait in that area or go home or move along.
They were not allowed in Hungary.

Maybe we could do that...designate some area as a territory or whatever (like the left does, just give it another name)...& make anyone crossing the border wait there.
Don't allow them to step onto US soil until they have been approved.

If anyone can find that link, I'd appreciate it. I think the country was Hungary, but I'm not sure.

[Jim Eagle]

Oh, I forgot. The bill was introduced in 1979 by (drum roll, please) Teddy Kennedy.

[Janet]

Hungary did that to get around EU laws that made them take in refugees.
Once in, the refugees had to be processed a certain way by EU law...so essentially they got to stay.
So Hungary found a way to just not let them onto Hungarian soil.

The sad part is that we are having to work around our OWN stupid, lousy laws.

DHS Spox: If You Say the Magic Words, ‘I’m Scared,’ We Let You into America

Homeland Security Spokesperson Katie Waldman said migrants seeking entry to the U.S. are essentially allowed in if they claim to have “credible fear” of unjustifiable persecution in their countries of origin. She offered her remarks on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday in an interview with Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Amanda House. Waldman said, “I can you tell you with near assurance that if you say the magic words, ‘I’m scared,’ we let you into the country.”

Migrants from Mexico and South America have been coached by left-wing lawyers on how to best obtain entry to the U.S. via asylum request.

“We’re seeing asylum claims skyrocket,” said Waldman. “Before 2013, one out of every 100 arriving aliens claimed credible fear, now it’s one out of every ten. Central America isn’t 100 times — ten times — more dangerous or economically unstable than it was five years ago.”

“These people know our immigration laws better than our own members of Congress,” added Waldman.

[Janet]

Here's one article on it. They call the area, 'Transit Zones'.

https://www.dw.com/en/could-hungarys-transit-zones-for-refugees-be-a-model-for-germany/a-44511989

[Extraneus]

“We never tracked the caravan migrants from the one back earlier in the summer,” noted Waldman. “Shockingly enough, of the nearly 100,000 family units apprehended from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in 2017, 99 percent remain here today.”

Waldman added, “Of the 34,000 unaccompanied alien children from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador we apprehended in 2017, nearly 98 percent remain in the country today.”

Catch-and-release policies incentivize immigration to the U.S., said Waldman: “We have these wide open catch-and-release immigration loopholes that act as a pull factor for individuals — economic migrants — like we’re seeing in this caravan come towards the United States.”

Waldman continued, “Day in and day out, we see caravan-size apprehensions at the border. There are 2,000 people apprehended almost every single day at the border. This is a crisis.”

2. Next, we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.
3. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.
4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured, so it will be ‘free-of-charge’ to them.

As a follow up to yesterday’s discussion of assisted care living, particularly Clarice’s mom’s situation, I have good friends in Cowlumbus, specifically Dublin right next to our old shop there, who have moved to a lovely new complex along the river. The hubby was Chief Engineer of Timken and we even did a paper together over four decades ago that still gets referenced.

Anyway, this new complex is like a cruise ship. You could spend the rest of your life there and never step outside, if you chose to. It has everything to keep you comfortable and busy. Hobby/workshops, grocery, pharmacy, exercise, the works. Obviously, the assisted part is provided as necessary. The couple had done the typical progression from large suburban home to condo to this. Both are still healthy and active, but wanted to remove the overhead from their daily time commitments.

We aren’t likely to do anything like that, but I can see eventually needing live in care at our place, if we can continue to afford it. Of course, Jane would have to give up the lease on the Treehouse. :)

Google is facing increased pressure from the U.S. government to share location information, possibly on thousands of innocent people, Forbes can reveal. That’s because of a string of so-called “reverse location” orders.

As of this morning the RCP House analysis has 205 seats for the Dems, 200 for the GOP, and 30 TCTC (if TCTC is not a known acronym, I'm patenting it). So, Dems need to win 13 of those 30 seats to win control of the House. Do I think they will? Nope, no way, I don't think so.

Man Tran, that retirement community sounds great (though probably expensive). But to reiterate my dim view of assisted living: It works for such a small fraction of people and for such a short window of time, that it seems almost like window-dressing or euthanasia. In my admittedly limited experience, people in assisted living in all likelihood die from complications of a fall, because the "assistance" is always just down the hall.

Similar to Clarice's story, after my father had a non-catastrophic fall, we quickly realized the only way to keep him alive was 24/7 aides. It is expensive of course, and he's drawing down his assets, but gradually enough that he's unlikely to run out of money.

How many people over the age of, say, 80, need "assistance" but aren't at risk of falling?

[Extraneus]

My father lived in a retirement community in Apache Junction, AZ, which was pretty nice.

Donald Trump Announces $6 Million Ad Buy; at Least 10 More Midterm Campaign Rallies

I ran a toss an interesting theory, on a podcast I watch( Brendon M. Dilley on Periscope.). He cusses a lot and is a younger guy, so not everyone's cup of tea.)

I thought this was interesting, and made some sense since I watched that Jared Kushner interview this morning.

Dilly believes that Kushner and various military people have a number, a metric, which indicates enough public support for Trump and his movement that, once passed, indicates that they can proceed with arrests without causing massive amounts of civil unrest.

This is why big rallies, voter turnout, and the Walkaway movement are all important.

I thought this was an interesting idea and possibly why things seem to be moving slowly in that area, which is not normally how Trump does things. Kushner made a point in that CNN interview of saying how his father-in-law likes people to move quickly.

Very very little polling and most have NO recent polling. Several have only one poll, TOTAL, most of them old.

IA3 - last poll 9/30, two polls total
KY6 - SINGLE poll 9/8
UT4 - several polls, all with Love ahead, outside MOE, except one on 10/11 showing a tie - why is this even in the tossup category, should be Leans GOP.
WA8 - two polls total, last poll on 10/9 has R+ 10, prior poll on 9/26 had D+1. Should be leans GOP.

STATE DEPARTMENT EMAILS SHED NEW LIGHT ON CLINTON CRONY’S PITCH FOR AFRICAN COMPANY

While serving as secretary of state in 2011, Hillary Clinton visited a power company in Africa at the urging of former Ambassador Joe Wilson, a longtime Clinton friend who happened to serve as a director at the company Symbion Power.

Emails released by the State Department since 2015 have showed Wilson lobbied Clinton heavily on behalf of Symbion, which he joined in June 2009. By September 2010, a foreign aid agency chaired by Clinton awarded Symbion a nearly $47 million contract to build a power plant in Tanzania.

But while Symbion and the agency, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), have downplayed Wilson’s influence on Clinton, an email recently released by the Department of State shows Clinton heard of the company through Wilson, the former ambassador to Gabon and São Tomé and Príncipe. Clinton also paid a diplomatic visit to Symbion’s facility in Tanzania at Wilson’s request.
