>>>My take is he hurt her and his clearing her did not undo the damage, though I suspect he was trying to.

two things left out ... the creep factor in the Podesta email dump (and that was a lot more important than people generally assume-especially in minority communities*) and the creep factor in finding a partial archive of her 'secret server' on another creep's computer (which also had ## on it).

[*anecdotes aren't evidence, but i know a few people, minority, hard-working, who were horrified by some of what was revealed there]

i'd like to read some good explanations for why she lost PA, MI, and WI that aren't conventional wisdom.

another incident was the bizarre 9/11 'fainting spell' then her staffers sent out a ringer to shake a little girl's hand (a kid of a campaign staffer) ... then the media in their soviet best puffed up "pickle strong" ...

yeah, someone who has to have a beefy black guy with a rescue kit tooling behind you by about 3 feet is in the pink of health and totally ready for the rigors of president.

I’ll allow it, counselor. But watch yourself.

Now I ain’t no Big City AGW Scientist, but my research suggests that ideal Jim habitat lies in a thin band between the 37th and 41st N parallels.

Du Berrier also told the apparently true story of the Hindenburg – a report we now retrieve from his newsletter files and that you won’t find elsewhere. According to du Berrier, the man behind the disaster was the mysterious Moe Berg: Princeton graduate, major league baseball player, master of languages, Zionist, and like du Berrier, OSS agent. Several biographies of Berg have been published, but none have discussed his connection to the Hindenburg

I thought of referring to my daughter as Pinette but she’s not gay, fat and dead.

Just rewatched The Punisher.

SILLIEST PROTEST EVER?

It's going to be a rainy weekend. I can tell it's meteorological Spring in MN because yesterday I swapped out the snow thrower for the lawn mower. I had to clean out the orifice embedded in the fastener that holds the carb bowl in place before it would run. The mower is 18 years old.

Anybody have Bill Barr's address? Anybody's in DOJ or FBI?
This link narc posted last night will save them tons of investigative time:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/apelbaum.wordpress.com/2018/03/17/the-mechanics-of-deception/amp/

Skimming it refreshes one's memory to a huge degree. Makes the rumors that the IG report is going to blame "the media" understandable too.

Fusion GPS---and whoever paid you, HRC, DNC, Perkins Coie---you are SO going down!

That vid of Annie the cow dog made my day and it’s only 0632 hrs. Looked a lot Tensleep, WY where I did a roundup with my Dutch uncle.

hoyden, pardon me if you just slept in this morning, but in case you are traveling and on Pacific Time--I can't remember when you were heading out that way.

Thank you, anonamom. I was deep in your 5:34 link. Now I will go make a third cuppa and settle in for some serious TWIP. I'm heading west Tuesday evening on Amtrak.

[Jim Eagle]

That Aplebaum analysis was pretty damn well-done for an amateur sleuth. The amount of work that went into that would take the CIA/NSA thousands of manhours to replicate. But then why do I call him an amateur?

I did a portion of my reserve duty in Air Intel at Bolling and I can't remember ever working (with others of course) on something that detailed and connected. If Barr isn't in contact with him, he should be.

This is why I dumped gmail for a service I pay for.

Lots seem to have lost the plot re. Google - it’s a private NSA.

If they are real they would be very useful. A cruise missile then can pulse microwaves over a 700 mile path frying electronics in its' range. Shocking?

Anybody else heard of, or believe this?

I'd like to believe that, if our military officials are talking openly about that, that we've got stuff far more powerful ready to go that they're NOT talking about.

[James D.]

my 2024 ticket (and if things keep up, 2020) is

Cthulhu-Ronan

I'd put Ronan first. At least he'd have a strong foreign policy.

From TWIP, this just touched my funny bone: Engineer humor, in a way.

Well the kree are no slackers we are given to understand, like the peacekeepers in farscape or the necromongers in Roddick (yes they were supposed to be a substitute for crusaders)

I think apelbaum has mentioned he has done some intelligence work, maybe he was unit 8200 (signal intelligence)

I didn't know voting was compulsory in Australia.

Good we don't have that here. 90% that are voting already are knuckle draggers.

Deplorable Don has been tweaking Vichy GOP lately.
https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2019/05/national-review-is-now-against-socialism.html
National Review's editors stunned observers this week by coming out against socialism. Its embrace of capitalism is surprising as in its 63 years as a publication it never showed a profit. It relies on handouts from rich men, which while it may not be socialism surely it isn't capitalism

[Rocco]

Congrats Matt, my daughter chose wisely too!

Good morning, I like Barr but I'm a bit concerned about why he let the "Russia hacked the DNC," narrative slide, totally whitewashing the Seth Rich connection.

And regarding the IG report I've also had my doubts, not about Horowitz, I believe he's honorable, but because he doesn't have access to all the players who have left their jobs for various reasons. I question how the truth can be told when you can't interview the most important witnesses.

[Rocco]

I had read that article about CHAMPS the other day and this jumped out at me.

Known as the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), the missiles were built by Boeing's Phantom Works for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and tested successfully in 2012. They have not been in operation until now.

The microwave weapons are fitted into an air-launched cruise missile and delivered from B-52 bombers. With a range of 700 miles, they can fly into enemy airspace at low altitude and emit sharp pulses of high power microwave (HPM) energy that fry computer chips, disabling any electronic devices targeted by the missiles with causing any collateral damage.

I'll bet those B52's flying over Iran are equipped with them now.

[Narciso79]

Well I'd they are still relying on crowdstrike/fire eye analytics.

[Momto2]

Robin - My tote just arrived this morning and I *love* it! I am now in the process of loading it with books for the beach. It is lovely and so well made. I am sure I will need another one before the fall. Teachers can never have too many totes!

Thanks for the Apelbaum link, anonamom! He did an amazing job.

TK being dishonest again.

https://twitter.com/dawsonsfield/status/1129463166872838146?s=21

DawsonFields and others are trying to identify an associate of Christopher Steele whose name is now public. Note he clearly said he doesn’t want to make the mistake of identifying the wrong person in the picture.

How TK tries to misrepresent what was actually written to discredit Dawson Fields, someone obviously better informed on Spygate than him.

A conversation between two "investigative reporters." One of which wants to doxx someone. Quality stuff.

Shameful
