AG Barr mocks Speaker Pelosi with some contempt humor or (Let lightning strike me down!) some ghastly, kinky innuendo.

Barr asks Pelosi at event: 'Did you bring your handcuffs?'

I'm hoping for 'contempt'.

Regarding Scooter Libby: I always thought it was crap that Bush 43 only commuted his sentence. The lack of a pardon meant he lost his law license, if I remember correctly.

The Bushes really look out for nobody beyond the family. Powell and his tubby little catamite, Armitage, should've been drawn and quartered for causing this for which Saint Blocked Colon has never uttered a peep of contrition.

I assume that film is being released in the US. I'll have to ask my son in law about it. The Sikhs are very hard assed.

Captain Hate,

The policeman whose brother spoke today at the police memorial was named Singh, I believe. Would he have been a Sikh? (I know nothing about the names.)

[Captain Hate]

Singh is a Sikh name but other castes can use it. If he didn't have a beard, which I don't think he did, he probably wasn't a Sikh.

Thanks. Recommend finding the clip of that brother speaking and thanking the President. It was very moving, and he said the White House had contacted them multiple times. I think I posted the clip which Gateway Pundit had.

Huwei to take pledge not to spy. To suggest it is to admit it.

You can't have babies, they said.

You can't have an opinion on abortion, they said.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I understand these damned whippersnappers just get worse and worse.
But is it possible a small part of that observed devolution is due to a change in the observer's perspective?
IOW, the further off the youngsters are from the observer perhaps the poorer the perception; especially if he has cataracts, a relentlessly hypertrophying prostate and they're on his lawn.

Einstein doesn't know how babies are made? Unlikely

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Seems to me pretty simple for the pro death people on these heartbeat bills; they need merely show the woman has two hearts. If she does then it's her body and she can do what she wants with it.
If however, the second beating heart is the fetuses then they have a problem.
After all, they may hate men and boys, but half of those tiny beating hearts they wish to snuff out are girls, so who are the misogynists?

Ext @ 8:25

If you have an open mind there is new info coming out that indicates Comey’s version of the story is correct while Brennan’s is the lie. The theory is that Comey knew everything the Obama criminal cabal had done and was still doing after the election and he spilled the beans to Trump and told him everything to include that the White House was bugged. Consider it similar to a plea bargain deal. I pointed out recently Comey has either gone insane or he is subtly telling the American public of all the crimes committed by the Obama administration. If the latter is true it supports the theory that Comey is making up for past sins perhaps to get a pardon.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Comey is self evidently a nutjob.
It makes one fear for the nation to stop and think that a guy as hopelessly and undeniably as mental as he is has been promoted time and again to the highest echelon of Federal LE.
That he lacks sufficient self examination to understand how bizarre his behavior is doesn't explain the blind eye his colleagues' and superiors' turned to a guy either out standing in a corn field like some mesmerized stork honking cryptic sermonettes into the scouring wind or waiting for someone to shout Ollie, Ollie Oxenfree so he can emerge from the shielding presidential drapery without having to talk to the boss.
I'm starting to think he's setting up a pretty plausible insanity defense should an actual prosecutor ever take up his case.

Sikhs have a reputation as fierce warriors.

Some in the US do cut their hair and are clean-shaven. I worked with one years ago who did that, he still wore the bracelet and had a miniature dagger hanging from a chain on his neck.

If I remember correctly a baptized Sikh is known by the five K's - uncut hair, wooden comb, usually worn under a turban, iron bracelet, dagger and special cotton underwear.

Underwear, shades of Orthodox Jewry and Mormons.

[jim nj]

Rich, been on the unemployment line more than once in my life.

Better to move from one job to another without it, but it does help subsidize a full-time job search is you have some savings.

Last time I was unemployed, circa 1989, they paid for computer classes at the local community college. Thay's back when being computer literate was still a big deal.

Main thing to worry about right now is your mental health. If you're not happy that will effect everything in your life.

[jim nj]

Talking about trees some more I recently read that the largest single organism on Earth is an Aspen grove. They start with a single seed. The root system allows new trees to grow up from the common root system. Those new trees expand the root system and the process continues.

Let's go to Wiki for a quote:

"Aspens are also aided by the rhizomatic nature of their root systems. Most aspens grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling, and spread by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 m (98–131 ft) from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason, it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands. One such colony in Utah, given the nickname of "Pando", is estimated to be 80,000 years old,[3] making it possibly the oldest living colony of aspens. Some aspen colonies become very large with time, spreading about 1 m (3.3 ft) per year, eventually covering many hectares. They are able to survive forest fires, because the roots are below the heat of the fire, and new sprouts appear after the fire burns out. The high stem turnover rate combined with the clonal growth leads to proliferation in aspen colonies. The high stem turnover regime supports a diverse herbaceous understory."

80,000 years old! Damn.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-15/china-s-economy-lost-momentum-even-ahead-of-trump-s-new-tariffs

"China’s economy lost steam in April, underscoring the fragility of the world’s second-largest economy as it girds for an intensified face-off with the U.S. over trade.

Industrial output, retail sales and investment all slowed more than economists forecast."

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-china-options/no-easy-options-for-china-as-trade-war-u-s-pressure-bite-idUSKCN1SL0OU

"The medium- to long-term ramifications on supply chains are being deeply underestimated. I would be severely concerned if I was China,” Robert Lawrence, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, recently told journalists in Beijing, where a group from the think-tank met with senior Chinese officials."

Let the hostilities get out of hand and the people using the Chinese supply chain are going to go elsewhere.

Take the next with a grain of salt as the NYT spins a little here.:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/world/asia/china-propaganda-trade.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

This last one has me confused. China feels a need to unleash the press over this? Why? To bleed off anger ahead of a trade deal? Or do they think that an anti-American outburst will scare the US.

Personally, I think that if this got wide coverage in the US that the American people would be less motivated to buy Chinese products.

Trump hasn't played this card here. It's a shame Xi feels the need to play this at home. China as victim?

I don't understand this at all.

Indonesia defending it's fisheries from Vietnam. Also mentions Chinese incursions on their economic zone.

This part intrigued me:

"The warning by US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson to his Chinese counterpart in January conveyed the Pentagon’s resolve to treat coastguard and maritime militia the same as the Chinese Navy: ‘I made it very clear that the US Navy will not be coerced and will continue to conduct routine and lawful operations around the world in order to protect the rights, freedoms and lawful uses of sea and airspace guaranteed to all’, Richardson said."

I read that as don't expect the US to give the benefit of doubt to Chinese ships, not formally part of the Chinese Navy, when they try to coerce our warships. It's not accidental and we will no longer consider it accidental, but deliberate.

[jim nj]

https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2019/05/15/iran_seeks_to_cement_legitimacy_of_shia_militias_114425.html

It's a large network of Shiite combatants in many countries.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-iran-iraq-idUSKCN1SL0F6

I think the message here is if Shiite groups in Iraq are hosting Iranian missiles and the central government can't stop it, we will.

We're probably pointing out that these groups should be reined in now.
