9 Members of Mormon Family in Mexico Are Killed in Ambush

Six children were among the victims in a massacre attributed to organized crime, relatives said. Other children were rescued, some of whom hid along a roadside.

Sessions’ chances of winning the GOP primary are 100% if Trump endorses him or 0% if Trump endorses someone else. I guess we will find out soon if Trump’s comments about Sessions were kabuki or his true feelings.

Putting myself in Sessions’ shoes, he has to know he won’t win the GOP primary if Trump endorses someone else. I can’t see him running for his old seat without already knowing upfront that Trump will endorse him. Why voluntarily put yourself thru a humiliating defeat at his age?

Nunes is on Tucker right now. This is multiple times I have seen him as a guest on Fox shows with farm tractors in the background. I know he has a farming background but isn’t he in DC now sitting on Schiff’s shit show hearings? Curious where Nunes is going to in DC that has these tractors and why?

OMG I'm finally able to post here again.

Thanks so much Jane for the 'near miss' visit. We finally got to the hotel at 8:30 Friday night. 11+ hours from ATL to Port Charlotte. Four hours in traffic. I'm so sorry you went to all that trouble for dinner, but I hope you found some friends to share it with. When we finally made the hotel, it was full of asshole baseball kids and their parents rampaging... the hotel clerk asked a parent to rein in the kids and the parent's response was they couldn't control them. We ended up doing take out from the Waffle House.

We made the final destination in the Keys about 10:30 AM Saturday and the weather here is perfect. 86 degrees during the day and sunny. Woot!

I've been following along on JOM since Saturday, but today is the first day my login worked. Geesh!

ENRDV:

Nice to hear from you, and thanks for responding to my election concerns. Hope you're still checking in! I too think we cannot take anything for granted. All of us here follow news from non-traditional sources and thanks to Miss Marple and Henry we follow the President's tweets too. Most people don't. Considering what President Trump is up against he does a nearly miraculous job at getting Republican ideas out there. It would be nice if our Congressional Republicans were even half as energetic.

I wouldn't put too much stock in suburgan women being particularly offended by Trump's lingistic improprieties. In fact, it seems to me that we hear a great many more complaints from men on that score — unless that's just the NeverTrumpers' pet peeve. Democrats have almost always done better with women, Republicans with men; and the urban/ex-urban divide I began noticing more than a decade ago, has been growing so steadily that it almost qualifies as conventional wisdom these days.

You may be right about the current dynamics, but the thing that really chaps me about how Trump voters are described is not really a gender based things, although it might have seemed that way in my response to Mom22's comment. It's not so much that people leave educated women out of the pro-Trump equation. It's that Trump supporters are framed as disgruntled downb-and-outers who feel like they've gotten the short end of the stick for too long. It's really a class based assumption. Condi Rice can sympathize with the psychologically disenfranchised, as the natural constituency of a populist "rabble rouser," without essentially giving Trump voters any credit for the intellectual rigor or the coherent political philosophy which drives a very big chunk of Trump voters. That's not just true of his educated supporters either. It seems to me that almost across the board, his voters are in it for MAGA, not just for themselves.

jim_nj,

You seem to post a lot over night, especically on military stuff.

I like military stuff.

I scroll thru your posts every morning, picking the things I find interesting for further reading while a down the first few cups of java.

Because of that, I'm gonna give you an update on the F-35b.

I have a BIL who is on the Rolls Royce F-35b lift program.

I got a chance to pick his brain on the aircraft this past weekend while he was in town for a funeral.

He did a ten week stint as a civilian contractor on USS Wasp earlier this year during testing, in case issues arose

In those ten weeks he got called in one time.

For an oil change.

He says he's worked other programs but he says the F-35b is hands down the greatest aircraft he's ever worked around from a mechanical standpoint.

Wasn't that way 5 years ago but it's now the perfect mechanical platform.

He was there when DJT was and said it was electric.

It was also the first time he'd been quartered on a naval vessel in 15 years(?) and that he forgot how shitty it was being on a naval vessel.

I probably get half of the JOM postings read each week, so I miss a fair amount of stuff. I do agree that the MSM/lefties very effectively and consistently paint us all as mindless deplorables, mostly wearing aluminum foil hats. That’s one of many reasons why I hope that the Horowitz report and Durham’s efforts come out with such compelling and straightforward proof of Democratic Party/MSM lying, cheating, and illegality that it can’t effectively be brushed aside. Then we’ll see a lot more good guys elected, and a much better, more fair, more constitutional direction for the country. Otherwise, ....

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

From Sean Davis's twitter feed;

The Democrats' star witness [Bill Taylor] admitted under oath that the sole source of information for his claim that Trump wanted a quid pro quo to get Biden was the New York Times.

Astonishing that our country is being turned upside down by these fools, rakes and crooks.
These things blow up because normal people don't react and so the provocateurs are increasingly emboldened and fooled into thinking there will never be an explosion no matter how blatant their provocations.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

I won't link it but I see Baby Face Continetti has an NYT op-ed where he advises Trump he has to choose between the "circus" and the WH and that "He can’t win on Republican votes alone, and what he does to whip up the base hurts him with independents".

If this is true then I guess Trump is not now the president because he's running pretty much the same circus he was 3 years ago, when he wasn't even the incumbent. Were I a more industrious loather of chipmunk-cheeked, cherubic chowderheads like Matt I'd go back to 2016 and almost certainly find him telling us that Trump was going to lose then too because he was failing to follow the sage advice of shiny, brilliant little turds like Master Matt.

Full article at the WSJ.

I don't like plea bargaining under certain circumstances. Two come to mind.

Most states haven't implemented bail reform yet. Many accused of a crime can't afford to pay even minimal bail amounts and are stuck in jail awaiting trial. This gives prosecutors too much leverage over the accused with a trial to come who knows when, better to take a plea for time served.

It's not a fair contest when the government has unlimited time and funds to use against a non-millionaire.

Sounds like he is being forced out. If he waited until next April he would be vested in his position, so he's going to take a financial hit to his pension.

No great loss for Chicago though as this guy isn't much of a leader.

Then again, if he's like a typical NJ police chief he may have six months worth of unused sick days and vacation days saved up. He could announce his April retirement and stay home using his allotted time off.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/11/06/gop_critics_aba_faces_senate_action_after_suspect_vandyke_rating__141670.html

I think we should recognize that the ABA is just another special interest group now and not a professional organization.

As such, we should remove them from the process of commenting on the ability of nominated judges to do their jobs fairly.

[jim nj]

The above seems to be part of the problem with the elites.

We defer to them for expertise and all we get in return is an agenda.

Any advisory group the government relies upon becomes suspect in that light.

And it's a conundrum, an advisory group seems eminently logical. Like the Manhattan Group who collectively developed the atomic bomb project.

But what we get now are groups who seem to be impelled by self-interest.

Abolish them all? No, but I think they all need to be looked at. They do not suffer elections open to the public.

Even some of the appointed commissions should be looked at, especially the FEC, where a member whose term has expired, is still serving.

The Obama budget sequestration wreaked havoc on our military capabilities. I watch defense news to see how we are recovering from that. Not well in many areas.

Keep in mind he wrote that out. It wasn't an offhand remark, he considers a marriage between one man and one woman anti-homosexual.

I haven't actually been following politics much but I did see the Whistleblower in the group picture of Obama staff on PDJT's first day. Was that Stacey Abram standing in front of him?
