CNN has long since moved on to obsessing about The Donald but The Atlantic runs a long piece detailing the search, and likely explanation, of missing Malaysian Airliner 370.
Spoiler: Highly probable it was a deliberate suicide run by the pilot. But the description of the puzzle-solving process is fascinating.

Lyle,
From the last thread:

Posted by: Jane | June 18, 2019 at 05:49 PM
From the last thread...
M-F was a firm used to cover services available to the connected, from the TBTF, plus another 450 banks, or so.
That is the interconnectedness of it all, not the Papers. They’re the keystone to the entire scheme.
Melinda,
Someone knew that Mossock Fonseca was the cover firm hiding all kinds of illicit activity. The main question I have is who hacked them and leaked the Panama Papers? We can only speculate but since the Panama Papers leak is related to the current crackdown on global money laundering scandal it would seem whoever hacked into MF and leaked the data had justice as a motive.

I don't suppose any of our JOMers are at the Orlando rally? I think it will be quite a night.
I heard a few minutes of Rush yesterday and he was discussing the polls. He mentioned the poor turnout for the "impeach Trump" rallies this weekend. He then talked about the lack of turn out for any of the dems so far - even Biden. Then compared that to the anticipated crowd in Orlando! He believes that is much more indicative of the pulse of the country than these loaded polls.

Nobody answers their phone anymore, how can a representative sample be polled? Serious statistical problem. (Yes, trained in polling stats at PhD level. No way any poll has meaning). So Rush is correct, you look tonother metrics.
Rally attendance is a good one. Thus progs bus paid attendees to rallies (and countvonnMSM to give flattering camera angles). But bear in mind so was volume of trash as a proxy for crowd size. As we know, progs are pigs (mostly to prime this measurement) and Tea Party leaves things cleaner than before,
This things may look good, but never confuse theory with reality... we won’t know reality until November 2020.

Rally attendance isn't going to tell the story, IMO. Even though none of the current Dem candidates have the charisma or panache to fill large venues, many millions will turn out to vote against Trump. His strategy has to be to depress their enthusiasm.
Perhaps his rallies help with that. :-)

One of Mrs Jim,SVL's friends sent her kid to the Middlebury Institute of Int'l Studies in Monterey, California.
Now we get occasional mail. Today was a copy of the alumni mag. The articles are a riot.
1) An alum working in "anti-terror" muses on a great-Uncle who fought with the Commies in Greece after WWII. He opines that the US has bolstered terror orgs with the policy of visa restrictions from Muslim countries. I kid you not.
2) An alum decides NOT to have children. An average American doing standard stuff to reduce carbon like not owning a car, recycling, ...) can expect to save 488 metric tons of carbon in 80 years. BUT, for each child not born, the CO2 saving is 9,441 metric tons! "I made a conscious decision not to have children. I'm not selfish, and there's nothing missing from my life."
3) An alum from Gaza volunteers with the Red Crescent and always volunteers "when there is a war." She uses her English skills to get out "our side of the story".
4) An article about how Global Warming means Monterey beaches will gone in the future.

The problem the Dems have is 2018 was based on KILL TRUMP!.
Welp, he's still kickin, more so than ever, and Nancy Menshevik is trying to corral the Ocasio Bolsheviks and they haven't even passed squat for the Senate to have to kill or Trump veto. They have misplayed and squandered their opportunity completely.
That leaves the economy. If it's good or passable Trump wins easy. If it's terrible he still might squeak through because he has, whether by design or fate, got a whole bunch of Spygate bad news queued up that he can dump if he needs or chooses to at a most inopportune time for the traitors.
