5 Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, March 05, 2016. On this day in 1770 the Boston Massacre occurred in which five colonists were fatally shot by British troops in an event that would contribute to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War five years later. Most school children are not taught that the crowd that the British troops shot into instigated the event.

6 We have a busy day today.

Saturday caucuses will be held in Kansas, Kentucky, Maine and Nebraska along with a primary in Louisiana. On Sunday, Maine holds a caucus for Democrats, while Republicans duke it out in a primary in Puerto Rico.

Mostly worthless caucuses though.

The United States is sending nuclear-capable B-52 aircraft to drop bombs on the Islamic State terror group, defense officials confirmed to Fox News Friday.

"Nuclear capable". We used B-52s extensively in Vietnam and I never heard anyone describe it as "nuclear capable". Most aircraft in our inventory are nuclear capable.

13 A knife that was found buried at the old O J house by construction workers has been finally turned into the LA police for testing. It had been turned into an off duty cop who decided to keep it for a souvenir. It was only retrieved after he called in to get the case number so he could put in on a plaque he intended to mount the knife on. Simply incredible.

14 On a November morning in 2013, Erica Hammel learned over the phone that her 1-year-old son Wyatt was near death, hospitalized with a skull fracture and brain damage after being violently shaken by a woman trusted to care for him.

Hammel would later learn the woman had twice been convicted of child abuse, a revelation that led the Michigan mother to fight for a state-wide child abuser registry, which, if passed, would be the first of its kind in the nation.

Hillary Clinton told CNBC's John Harwood she'd been the most transparent public official in modern times during an interview in Detroit Friday.

When pressed about the classified e-mails she had this to say.

No, no, because let's be clear about this, Clinton said. There wasn't a single one of those that was marked classified, either sent or received.

Only because she directed that the classified markings be removed. That is how the Clinton's always parse their statements. Note that she did not deny that they were classified, she said they were not marked.

It is good that Cruz reversed his position on vastly increasing the H1B visas. But I don't believe him since he didn't change his position until after Trump came along and was slaughtering everyone on the immigration/illegals crap.

And I asked the question yesterday; if Trump is going to abandon his position on illegals and immigration in general what reason is there for anyone to vote for him.
Cruz would indeed make a better conservative even if he does have a lot of blemishes.

94 Vic:

My point was that Cruz got his mind right about H1-B and yet he's a liar and not to be trusted, but Trump reverses himself and takes Cruz's old position yet no one, except Megyn Kelly at the debate, is calling him on it.

Every candidate has blemishes to be sure. No one will be 100% perfect for 100% of us 100% of the time (except the Good Lord, but He's busy). But for me, the most solid candidate - despite his blemishes - to come along in a long long time is Ted Cruz.

There is no Classified status for gov documents. When Hillary says she
sent or received nothing marked Classified, she is correct.

Posted by: Quinn the Eskimo at March 05, 2016 06:53 AM (msVAP)

I don't know how it is in the State Department but in the Navy anything that we wrote, sent, or received that was classified had to done on classified paper stock which had the level of classification clearly marked at the top.
I recall one case where a guy had a bunch of that shit in his car driving home from a school. He had a wreck and the papers got scattered all over the highway. A State Patrolman brought the stuff back to the base and the guy I got into a heap of shit for carrying it off the base.

Also, the word on the street is that Hilary DRIECTED her minions to remove those markings.

98 If I was made tzar of primaries I'd condense into regions, rotate order every 4 years. So NE, SE, Middle West, NW, SW. So SE from Virginia to Mississippi would go first say but first one maybe two would be proportional. That's how I would do it.

They have been able to vote for Federal offices for a long time, just like other territories. And since they are almost guaranteed Democrat you can guess which Party made that come about.

The best was when the shuttle was visiting as it was that much brighter. Also looked for longest time it was in sight, they website is spot on on times and angles.

Posted by: Skip at March 05, 2016 06:11 AM (fizMZ)

Been a while since I've seen the ISS pass over, but on that occasion it was...interesting. First you had the space station, very bright object, scooting right along across the sky. Then trailing it a bit was another bright object; one of those Russian unmanned freighters, scheduled to dock at the space station the next day. And trailing that was a third bright object, which was one of the space shuttles, launched earlier that day, carrying people and supplies, and scheduled to dock the day after the Russian ship did.

Both candidates accomplish the GOPe destruction... Cruz just does a better job and has already been battle tested in that regard. He called the republican majority leader in the senate a liar ffs.

Speaking of PR -- you'll love this one:

Thousands of prison inmates lined up across Puerto Rico on Friday to cast early ballots in the U.S. territory's Republican primary.

At least 6,500 of the island's 11,500 prisoners are registered to vote, and government officials said this year's turnout was strong. Even prisoners not registered are allowed to participate in the open primaries,

Puerto Rico has allowed inmates to vote since the 1980s. On the mainland, only the U.S. states of Maine and Vermont let inmates vote.

126 Clinton's continued lawyerly defense of not sending anything "marked" classified is so maddening. I like this bit of speculation about the Pagliano immunity deal, though:

Finally,
the most damaging potential testimony that Pagliano might offer, and
perhaps the reason it has taken this long to do an immunity deal, is
that he offers the FBI a chance to make a case on the basis of
obstruction of justice and conspiracy. Pagliano is usually described as
the IT guy that set up Clinton's private server (which is true) but as a
State Department employee he did double duty for
Clinton and the government between 2009 and 2013. Thus he was not only
around to set up the private server, but to delete emails from it when
Clinton left office, and possibly prepare it for shipment to Platte
River, the company Clinton eventually contracted with to store the
device. I've long believed that successful prosecution of
Clinton is pairing evidence of obstruction of justice with the
classified documents and federal records violations. Evidence of
obstruction, means evidence of direct intent and a guilty mind, that
cannot be sloughed off mere carelessness, honest mistake, or the foibles
of various underlings.
