More Noos; today is Saturday, February 3, 2018. On this day in 1913 the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, authorizing the Federal government to impose and collect an income tax. This also had the ultimate effect of shifting power permanently from the States to the federal government. When combined with the 14th amendment and a court full of nanny state leftest black robes the States no longer had any authority over anything that congress decided to get into. John Adams and the Federalists finally got what they wanted, an all powerful central government.

Appearing on "Special Report," Nunes told Fox News' Bret Baier that the motivation behind releasing the memo was protecting the rights of American citizens
He 'nicely' called Nazipelousy and the rest of the Democrats liars also and laid part of the blame there on the MFM. My personal opinion is that there are at least three people and maybe more who need to go to jail over this shit, beginning with Hillary Ass Scankles and including several Clinton aides in the FBI.

According to him, even the president cannot look at the evidence against him if he's the target of an investigation under the FISA law. And he may be right. If this is true, then I believe that FISA has to be unconstitutional. If the president doesn't have the right to see the possible evidence against him to mount a defense, then due to the FISA law, it would violate his fourth and fifth Amendment rights.
The Republicans are getting outlawyered!

I was tired of the heating elements going bad in one electric coffee maker after another. I think they make them to fail in 3-5 years. So I bought a french press and hand crank coffee grinder. Now if I can heat water I can make coffee. And it tastes pretty good too.

I got the highest electric bill I have ever gotten for Dec-Jan and that was with a wood stove running 24/7 in NoVA. My weather station posted a December 0 F reading for the first time ever and it read 8 F this morning.

Amen! Congress, in its infinite wisdom, renewed FISA without any changes. Really foolish. How you can allow American citizens the loss of their fourth and fifth Amendment rights, and the ability to amount a defense prior to being questioned by the FBI is ridiculous.

have some news for you clueless turds, nuclear torpedoes have been
around from the US and Russia for a long long time. This is nothing new.
The US first deployed nuclear armed torpedoes back in the 60s.
True, Vic, but that ain't the worst part about this weapon. It's self guiding, but much more importantly, over 100 MT in yield. That's a bigger bomb than the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuke ever lit off (by the Russkies), at a yield of 50 MT.
Yeah. But it's probably nothing.

One possible answer is all international communications are captured by NSA. Lets say for the sake of argument that domestic communications are captured too, but for forms sake, by the Brits.
"Spying" is accomplished mainly by sending queries to the databases, unless you're a person of interest (like those two clowns Page and Papadopoulos), in which case the powers that be seem to review all your communications continually.

I live just off University Place in New York City in 10003 area code, and Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin live just a block away. Before his incarceration I would see him all the time. Yet in spite of his conviction, 'Carlos Danger' has managed to stay off the public sex offender list.
This might simply be bureaucracy. Maybe they don't update the list until he's released. Or maybe it's administrative and his 'official residence is somewhere else. But given the nature of Clintonian politics, I thought it pretty curious.

After witnessing what has happened in the last year regarding elections, I don't know how any ordinary citizen without a slew of lawyers can run for office. A mish like Gloria Allred can parade a bunch of supposed victims claiming decade old misdeeds without any actual proof.
Look, I don't know if Roy Moore was a creep, pedophile or sexual assault perp, but he deserved due process, didn't he? And I'm not defending him, I'm just defending his right to a fair process.

Watching him on television, I see a popinjay who LOVES his big title and fancy office, much different than the man that campaigned w PDT. I think he is going to hold on to that position, thinking Pence will keep him, if there is an impeachment. JMHO, but I get the impression that he thinks that Rosenstein (who probably sucks up to him) is the better choice over Trump, as evidenced in his support yesterday after he would have seen the Memo.

where I'd heard the music years before
but the man there said the music wouldn't play
and in the streets the children screamed
the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
but not a word was spoken

and the three men I admired most
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
they caught the last train for the coast
the Day the Music Died.

There isn't going to be an impeachment. This entire Russia thing is bogus, completely fabricated. In fact, the only colluding with Russia that took place during the election was between Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
The memo is important for what it is, the very first small step in exposing this scam, but it is only that, the first step.
There are a lot of moving pieces here and things aren't always what they seem.

Until I see different, I'll think President Trump was far too loyal to an early political supporter. A decades long denizen of Congress (and thus having at least a toe in the waters of the DC Establishment Swamp) should NEVER EVER be appointed to an investigative position in a house cleaning administration.

I would not have known that if you hadn't sent me to look up the Outdoor Code.

I very much respect your opinion, JS, but I was flabbergasted when I saw that Stephen Boyd, asst. AG (who came from Sessions' senate office), permitted mueller's team to redact the page/strzok texts. Why?
The R's took 63 seats back in 2010 with an energized electorate; the d's only need a third of that number. I know that confidence in a strong economy will be a good thing for R's, but worried about the outside money/global factors wanting Trump to fail. And, a d House would put impeachment on the table immediately w Nadler heading the Judiciary Committee.

By November we are going to be so far down the road with this whole process that what is happening now will be a memory.

"Re: Looking for a fight, all I can say is that everyone I talk to is increasingly looking forward to a real fight. I used to be an outlier, but now everyone (almost) is kinda looking forward to a real fight. "
it caused me to reflect, there appears to be some kind of tension buildup that happens in societies, that makes them explode every 100 - 150 years. Maybe it takes that long for everyone to forget how bad it was the last time they all did something like that.
Europe
1630 - 1660: 30 years war, Europe blows itself up and burns most of its cities down.
(120 years of relative peace)
1788 - 1815: Revolution plus Napoleon, Europe blows itself up and burns most of its cities down
(99 years of relative peace)
1914 - 1945 - World War, Europe blows itself up and burns most of its cities down.
English speaking world:
1640 - 1660: Civil War, England burns, thousands are executed
(116 years of internal peace)
1776 - 1784: Sparks of the old Civil War reignite, becoming the American Revolution.
(76 years of internal peace)
1860 - 1865: Civil War, over a million killed.
(150 years of internal peace.)
2018: We're past due for another reckoning.

I don't know how much of it is planned, and how much is unplanned. Those people keep exposing themselves.
You want to be the Party of women? Great! Yell and scream about what Trump said, then make all sorts of excuses for Al Franken and others on "your" side.
Want to be the Party of minorities? Yes, tell us how dreamy the illegal mexicans are, but when somebody dares to suggest that maybe kinda sorta helping poorer black Americans have decent jobs, is a dream worth having, and that makes you worse than Hilter...
Want to be the Party of government solutions? Fine, let's have a bureaucracy that helps keep the executive in check, but as soon as you start showing those unelected bureaucrats are lawless pricks, and that means you're playing partisan politics!!
People see the truth for themselves.
I don't think Sessions has anything to do with how this looks, and frankly, I don't think Trump does either. This government, the one that is oversized and in EVERY city, completely run by Democrats, IS the problem. And people can see that more clearly every day.

I think there is a book called "The Four Turnings" about this cycle.
The Horde version is
The Four Seasons of Civilization
Hard times create strong men;
Strong men create good times;
Good times create weak men;
Weak men create hard times!
(https://twitter.com/stefanmolyneux/status/805466202600591361)
The Heinlein version is
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck"!

I'm talking mostly about professionals, with years and years of narrow thinking enforced within their tightly controlled points of view.
Any new information that trickles in... like this memo thing, it'll bounce off, because the relentless sources of information they get, it tells them this is nothing. It allows them to safely dismiss the facts, without ever having it thrust at them with any sort of force that will make them see it.

While those happened, none of them became widespread and were rather easily put down. (and the Glorious Revolution was political and involved no bloodshed at all)
The Jacobite and the Irish rebellions were the closing phase in the millennia-long war by the Norman-Anglo-Saxon English to dominate every other group in the British Isles, which they won.
What I point to are those times when society itself fractures and becomes a war of all against all, with not just towns but even families splitting in half and trying to kill each other. Rather than being rare, it looks like this happens on a pretty predictable cycle.

clean water act that define what 'federally protected waters' are.
Remember the act intended these to be navigable water ways or streams
that fed the navigable waterways. Under Democrat autocratic rule, and
especially Pharaoh Obama, dry land became navigable waterways. The Trump
lawyers expect there to be significant litigation by the watermelons on
this despite the fact that Obama severely abused the intent of the act.
That's because you can sue a hamburger in the US.

Oh that is kewl. My best ever sixth grade science project is one I did for No. 1 Son. (I found that my forties was the correct age for me to be good at sixth grade science).
To prove that salt made water electro-conductive I set up an Estes rocket (Saturn V) with an electric fuse and a battery and two diodes in a jar of water.
Nothing happens until you pour salt in the water and then there's a circuit and whooooooosh!

Guarantee he and Boehner were as complicit as the Dems in the IRS scandal. He and Graham have their fingers in the Benghazi scandal. It's not difficult for me to believe that McCain would play bagboy for the Dems to deliver the pee dossier.
McCain is dirty and compromised, but what the hay, Trump is crude, rude and uses bad words.
Rant over.

Yes, I must admit I cannot wrap my head around this duct tape concept. I mean, I think I know what is being suggested, but I can't picture how it works.

If Nunes is telling the truth, and I have zero doubt he is, then either the FBI materially lied on their FISA warrant application or the FISA court is corrupt. That is the net of what came out yesterday and it is only a small piece of what they were doing.

Corrupt, somnambulant, or functioning as designed?
A quick hit of the googles shows 0.3% of FISA warrant applications denied. Let's assume that's off by an order of magnitude and only 97% percent of FISA warrant applications are granted.
Do you blame the members of the court, or the institution. It looks to me like something designed to give the government unfettered spy power and it's working quite well.

From what I recall, Nunes was accused of major security breaches after he saw the WH scif and was rather astonished. He had to jump through all kinds of hoops to prove that he did not violate any security.
He is really trying to get to the bottom of the intel abuses.

The Jacobite and the Irish rebellions were the closing phase in the millennia-long war by the Norman-Anglo-Saxon English to dominate every other group in the British Isles, which they won.
What I point to are those times when society itself fractures and becomes a war of all against all, with not just towns but even families splitting in half and trying to kill each other. Rather than being rare, it looks like this happens on a pretty predictable cycle.
The Glorious Revolution did involve a pretty fierce war in Ireland, which I suppose could be rolled into the early Jacobite wars. The Jacobite Rebellions were much more than an English versus Scottish war - a number of highland clans supported the Hanoverian dynasty (most notably, the Campbells) and there was a lot of Jacobite sympathizers in England during the '45 rebellion, which we may recall cam every close to succeeding at one point. It was a political conflict, not an ethnic one.
Also, the Scots-Irish and Anglo-Irish were involved in some of the Irish rebellions. Not just ethnic conflicts.
Basically, I think your timeline is too simple (what was going on in Britain from 1660 till now, for example?) to be a useful tool of analysis.

When the last of the 3rd/4th generation dies off, it appears to be pretty predictable that whatever wisdom they accumulated also dies.
One of the reasons why NaCly's friend dying is significant (aside from love). I used to know elderly ladies who were college-educated in the 'hard' sciences and had successful careers and families. One youngster was amazed that her grandmother's degree was in biochemistry and she just could not imagine that women could and did do those things. The takeover of the institutions.

Two weeks ago a small liquid-fueled rocket launched from New Zealand also reached orbit. I don't know if it was the smallest liquid-fueled rocket, but it was probably close. (The Japanese rocket was solid-fueled.) It featured some advanced technology like carbon-fiber construction and 3D printed parts.
We've been doing robotic exploration for 60 years now, and they keep getting more capable and more reliable. Robots are preferable for exploration and things like asteroid mining, but I still think there will be human colonization at some point.
By an odd coincidence, the next scheduled launch is on Tuesday afternoon from the Kennedy Space Center. If successful, the Falcon Heavy will become the largest rocket in the world.

It also sounds like made-up bullshit, with no practical military value. Do you really want a weapon that takes weeks to reach its target? What if it became known that Russia had launched such a device, and aimed it at NYC? First, there would be time to evacuate most of the people, and second, it would be a license for America to order all the ICBMs in the silos to be launched at Russia.
Sounds to me like it's simply a boogey-man weapon, with little to no chance of ever being actually constructed, like that nuclear ramjet cruise missile idea from 40 years ago.

Trump isn't a grand champion chess player with the Dems.
But he is tenacious and he is shrewd enough to work the parties over to get what he wants. I remember a story when he was building Trump Tower, he needed permission from the neighboring buildings to construct his sky scraper in their sightline (NYC for you). He presented two plans. One was for some Gawd awful ugly building and the other was for his building that he wanted.
That was the deal he gave the dems during the SOTU.
What Trump is, however, an old school patriot who doesn't buck and loves the US.
He spent the last 50 years or so, making his business work in NYC, a decidedly hostile environment towards anything constructive.
He doesn't bow down to outside pressure.
And this is why it serves him well against the Dems and the Democrat Media Complex (BIRM)
They are so reflexively against anything Republican and use to them saying, "Thank you sir, may I have another!" (Look at the last 30 years of the GOPe for examples. Primarily, Maverick, Mittens, both Bushes, on down the leadership line) than when Trump punches back, they don't know what to do. They are the bitch now when they use to tell the bitch what to do.
It's not really Nine Dimensional Chess he is playing but just an intrinsic love of the Country and recognizing America Exceptionalism. And the progressive reflex is to take the opposite position so their mask slips and falls off. And they will double down.
It's due to Trump's ego why that plays out so well. He's the f--king president, he won.
And without it, he (and the nation, by extension) wouldn't be where we are.

I think he is the Grand Master, he can fight the tactical battle very well, but his strategy seems to be a full five moves ahead of his opponents as well. The Dems, the GOPe, just keep walking into the kill zones almost as if he drives them there.
I suspect that Wray and Sessions are fully onboard with what the President is doing and are playing their parts. Rather than acting as the third-world dictator, Trump has set the conditions for the truth to emerge and leaving no question as to the appropriateness and legality of Wray and Sessions perp-walking a few folks. Especially, a less than clever, former president.
