Only in NYC or SF could this commie scrunt be elected. And these communist practices have been tried over and over all over the globe. They always promise utopia and what they get is breadlines, starvation, and misery. All because the FSA loves these kinds of politicians. And yes, I blame FDR, LBJ, and the latest self-confessed communist, Obama.

It turns out that the initial reports that the illegal alien who killed Mollie Tibetts was verified using the e-verify system was false. He did not even have an Iowa ID card/driver's license. So much for initial 'reports' which mostly turn out to be pure speculation. So now the question goes to the owners of that corporate farm who employed him.

And unless Awan was some super secret double agent spy (for US) ... how the heck does he walk away from having such deep infiltration?
The whole world comes to the US and either bribes our DC corruptocrats, or gets big money by promising to be our friends, or to not cut off the oil, allow us to have an air base ... our DeepState drives us in debt but "solves their problems" by throwing our money around. (except DeepState has their own priorities, not always American interests, it would seem ... like Hillary deals with Russia/China, Obama with Iran, DWS/DNC with Awan and Pakistan?)

If we really need the workers, we could set up a real transitional system ... give real work visas, but have them pay real taxes, not be on welfare, tax remittances, etc. CoCs are fighting it every step ... and seem to usually win.
Still too much profit from hiring illegals and letting taxpayers fund their health care and other social burdens, even as their paychecks get sent back to subsidize Mexico instead of building the local community.
Employment numbers look good, but there seem to be a lot of people that took Moochelle's advice to just not work, live off welfare, so they are not in the "looking for work" but unemployed numbers.

And THIS is why it's so important for Trump to remain in office. He's doing all sorts of things like this to undo what Obama and other past presidents did. Can't imagine how much work it will be, how many various federal agencies, department disbanded it to really make a dent in this current mess.

Any Dem strategy of 're-create' 68 should have a similar negative impact. I say should. I don't have the time to tear apart every poll like I did for Trump, but old habits of pollsters of starting with a conclusion then getting the numbers they need to prove that conclusion seem to be in play again.
My prediction is the American people don't want Nancy Pelosi walking around with her 'big gavel' again.

right, and Mitch and wife collected some ~$20M from her family, as they were being friendly on China policy.
seems China is much bigger problem than Russia, but both are very busy at all the DC/NY cocktail parties, have all sorts of operations (legal and otherwise) on both coasts ... probably in every major city.
The thing that makes the Mueller/Rosie coup most disturbing, is it sends the message to any potential whistle blowers, that DeepState is still fully operational, punishing anyone that dares speak up. That is true within the agencies as well, from all I can gather.
There are only rumors that real prosecutions are being prepared, but there are real cases of people being punished/demoted for even internally speaking up about abuse/crimes of DeepState. All the hopes/promises of Huber/Wray/etc. always seem to fade as time passes.
But the top of the old FBI are largely fired and/or being investigated .... which itself is historical. Yet there sits Mueller, perhaps worst of them all. they always investigate themselves, still true.

Because it would seem that covering for federal agencies that are weaponized to support (and cover for) one political party at the expense of the other is precisely the definition of acting as "a partisan hack".
Oh, and where was all of this righteousness during the 8-year reign of terror by demonstrated "partisan hack(s)" Eric PlaceHolder and Loretta "Tarmac Meeting" Lynch?

yeah, right.
But seriously, Trump needs to unredact all the Congressional requests the DoJ has released but drowned by Sharpies.
There isn't any secret sources and methods, it is all just embarrassment for the DoJ and FBI senior players getting covered up.
It's time to fight back, using their own words against them. Make them public. Shine the light on the cockroaches.
Trump needs to drop them one a week. Start the week after Labor Day. Can't remember exactly how many documents the Congress has received, but I think it is at least 3. Drop one at a time, drag it out, and watch the Left and Press heads pop like teenage zits.
And the info would hit about the time the voting public starts paying attention for November.
Because there are a lot of brainwashed people out there, the press has been lying to them something fierce. I run into them from time to time, and they are so misinformed, it is like someone somewhere planned it that way.

Sessions has been in DC so long, easy to imagine he just blended in with the Borg over time, can't break from the comfortable little family. Plus they squeezed him when he stumbled a little on his "never met any Russians" statement in his confirmation. It was nothing, but that is the Dem talking point, and he cratered, obeyed Rosenstein.

I'm nervous about the outcome as well--more than I was a few months ago when I totally believed in "the plan" (not Q's version, but JackStraw's and CTH's.) Still holding out hope that things start to fall in our favor, because I can't believe that a fighter like Trump would let them roll over him. But then I remember what Ace said about Obama's minions infiltrating his administration and I worry again. McGahn is GOPe, but then he also has Guiliani and Sekulow. Back and forth, back and forth I go.
If anything good is going to happen, it's got to start BEFORE the midterms. If we lose the House... Forget it; I don't even want to think about it

allegedly Reagan made it illegal (so it still is) to redact things just
to cover up administrative crimes, as opposed to real security reasons.
Yet we already have evidence that they do exactly that, as we see with
unredacted revisions.
Other former agents reveal they have to sue
to get evidence on why they were fired (for things like complaining
about DeepState crimes/lies) ... but the FBI will delay for years, and
redact (illegally) just to run up outrageous legal bills, and to hide
their crimes.

------------------------------
this is exactly what makes me burn.
FBI and DoJ agents are given a special status in our American society. They are entrusted with many powers. The implied deal the citizens have with them is that they must stay on the straight and narrow, and police themselves if a few go astray. The opposite is true, we now plainly see.
The facts being revealed show they have accepted corruption and abuse of power as the new status quo. And then they lie and mislead when confronted about their actions. This cannot be allowed to stand.
I think Jefferson had a statement about the required solution.

Vic, I think you got your battles mixed up. Port Dover is not Toronto and that was a tiny raid. The retaliatory operation against Washington was mounted because of the 1813 Battle of York. York (now Toronto) was the capital of Upper Canada (now Ontario) and an American force overwhelmed the small British force in Ft York. The retreating British blew up the magazine so that the powder would not fall into American hands. This caused the deaths of a large number of Americans including the commander, Zebulon Pike (what a great name). This enraged the Americans so much that they sacked the city, including the destruction of the parliament building. They even stole the mace! (Ask someone from the Commonwealth about why this was a big deal). The Americans eventually returned it, after about 150 years.
The US tried to take York again in 1814, but the defenses, including a rebuilt Ft York were far too strong and the Americans were repulsed. Many of the Ft York buildings still stand and if you're ever in Toronto, the restored fort is definitely worth a visit. Just remember that there, the Red Coats are the good guys.

Meanwhile Babs boxer had a Chinese spy on her payroll for 20 years and the GOP has sat on their hands and done nothing with that information.
For fucks sake she sits on the foreign intel committee and nobody has even suggested she step down or face reprecussions or even used this to help out a Republican President.

It's about humidity. I have x pounds of 3Fg and 4Fg Goex, in original jars in my basement. Should I have some kind of desiccant in there with them? In the jars? I could open them and check on it, but as far as I know, right now it's got 3 year old winter air in there and as soon as I open them the RH in the jars will go up by at least 50%.
FWIW Goex is the real stuff that a flintlock will spark, not the stabilized Pyrodex pellet stuff that needs percussion. So I imagine it's more hydrophilic.

Go to any watering hole on a game day and there they are.....40 year old clowns in their gear hollering.
Wonder why I never see the adult babies wearing Browns gear and hollering. Front running phonies.

Just leave them closed up and you should be fine. I have Goex black powder in the original cans that sat in my unheated garage for years and shot without a problem in both percussion and flintlocks.
Hope this helps.

This right here is the kind of thing I'm looking for. I figure I can't be the only person to have ever stored a bunch of black powder in plastic jars in a basement, but it's really distinct from smokeless or Pyrodex chemically, and good luck finding search results where people are talking about *real* black powder and not pellets.
I also have some of it in a brass flask and a priming charger now that I think about it, and those aren't 100% air-tight. I guess I could try a tap from each of those in the fireplace with a torch striker. If they still go, then the stuff that's in capped plastic should be fine.

Goex, in original jars in my basement. Should I have some kind of
desiccant in there with them? In the jars? I could open them and check
on it, but as far as I know, right now it's got 3 year old winter air in
there and as soon as I open them the RH in the jars will go up by at
least 50%.
FWIW Goex is the real stuff that a flintlock will spark, not the
stabilized Pyrodex pellet stuff that needs percussion. So I imagine it's
more hydrophilic.

Don't put anything in the can of powder. When we were doing Civil War reenacting I used to real black powder keep powder good for 3-4 years with just putting a desiccant in the cabinet I stored the powder in and never had a single issue. We would order 20 pounds at one time for the entire unit and split it up about every 3 years or so. We were in the business about 10 years and never had any powder go bad.
You should be OK as long as you don't open and close the cans multiple times. That stuff is pretty stable if you leave the caps on and just use one can at a time.

I'm just not sure where to get more Goex when I run out, since the local

in Kentucky and Missouri - actually Toronto, but I'm not anxious to

Like Skip said. I have used Goex that had been in a brass flask and some 4F in a little brass primer for years. No problems. Same with powder horns. And northern Virginia gets more than its share of humidity.
Also, I would never put anything, including dessicants, in with the powder.

IIRC it's classified as actual explosive, so it's more restrictive than
smokeless or cartridges. The dealer that stopped carrying it had to
have a magazine with a blowout vent installed in the exterior wall for
it and I think the cutoff for requiring that was some relatively small
amount like 20lb.

The Maine Powder House ships to anywhere in the Continental US. It goes UPS ground with adult signature required. Except for the one time the UPS guy left that big box on my front porch with the "Explosive" label where everyone could see it and no one was home.
You have to fill out a form and send them a copy of your DL before you can order.
You can call them up and ask how much shipping would be. I can't recall what it cost but we got the whole unit together so we would only have to order it every two or three years.

Yeah, Sleepy has no taste for conflict or the job, but-
that would've been hard to predict.
A-a-a-a-and, this is where we see the basic weakness of the Middle Class politically.
We're all rule followers and hold jobs - that's how/why we're members of the Middle Class.
That's why we need honest representatives, who represent us honestly, have honor, are tough, and will fight for us when we give them our vote.
In all honesty, the Dishonorable Sleepy could probably be easily forced from office if, like the Democrats' Brown Shirt Division, we had crowds of unemployed crazies, trust fund a-holes, and redeployed uniontards to go chant at Sleepy's house every day.
He has zero stomach for the fight and would resign tout suite.
Bu-u-u-ut, we Middle Class types follow the law and hold jobs.
Not that I recommend that action anyway. In the end, it's profoundly unAmerican.
That's where we're headed though, if street violence and lawfare works, if the Dims aren't fully renounced at the ballot box this Fall.
Third World here we come.

Trump Subpoena

Posted by: Lizzy at August 25, 2018 07:04 AM (W+vEI)
----
Each Trump tax return has thousands of pages and requires of months of negotiations and meetings with the IRS to produce. Any errors or misrepresentations would reflect poorly on the IRS since they have been involved all along. If there were anything illegal in there the (leftist, politicized) IRS would have already acted on it.
The real goal of making the returns public is to identify people and organizations Trump does business with as targets for harassment, and to find pathways for infiltration and sabotage of his businesses. Trump knows this and it's why he won't release them.

The smart thing for Trump to do would be to say "You know, I've been hard on this guy for his work as AG, but his work on tackling the drug crisis has been absolutely stellar. He's a great guy, but just in the wrong job, which is why I'm pleased to transfer him to the position of Drug Czar."
It'd be a "sideways promotion", but it wouldn't have the stigma of being fired, and should assuage some of his buddies in the Senate.

But you CAN get a MSR Whisperlite stove and a short fuel bottle into an ALICE buttpack and still have room for a bunch of MRE nut cake pouches. The short fuel bottle is key, if you can find one. When I carried mine around about *koff koff* years ago, it was tough to find the small bottle, but I got lucky with a local outfitter in Anchorage. Probably a bit easier to find something suitable now.

Last time I took ScoggDaughter on a family trip ... she invited a friend to go along with us to the Smokies.
Two teen girls, and my ol' lady chiming in, really gets on the nerves. So - when they insisted on "going on a hike" - I marched their pampered asses up about ten miles. That really shut up all the "girl talk" for a while.
Seemed like a great idea - I really enjoyed it. Until it started looking like I was going to have to carry them all back down.
Still ... when I finally got 'em all back to the cabin ... silence, baby. I've never enjoyed a cold beer and quiet more.

Scaggs was on at least the first couple Steve Miller Band albums, which were very good. Frankly after Scaggs left Miller's music got incredibly boring imo. If I ever have a classic crock station on the car radio and "The Joker" comes on, I hit the presets so hard I almost break them. "Jet Airliner" or "Keep Rocking Me Baby" don't get as immediate of reactions but it's still paint by the numbers generic filler compared to "Living in the USA".

MSRs are a pain in the ass, IMO. You have to pre-heat the burner, or else it turns into a flaming mess. their big advantage is that they'll burn almost any liquid w/BTUs. We use a small, fordable burner head that threads into compressed propane cans, available at any camping/sporting goods/bait shop. It's so simple and clean.
Regarding instant coffees, Starbucks (yeah, I know...) has some tolerable instants, already portioned out. i'm sure there are like-for-likes in other brands. Maybe Black Rifle Coffee makes some?

Cohen paid porn actress. Trump tells him to get the money from his company B. Trump does not consider it a campaign contribution. Money comes from company B which is a Trump company. CFO /company B tax returns do not report it as contribution. Cuz it wasnt. But Cohen now claims it was campaign contribution and CFO gets immunity and pressure to agree. And then they think they have on campaign finance violation or tax fraud.

This is true. My kids went through the orchestra program at Entitled HS. My wife now works for the program; we've taken kids to Carnegie Hall, Dallas, Chicago. It's an amazing program, it starts kids off in the 3rd grade and they get near professional quality out of the top flight kids, but I'm into a $3K violin and $5K cello that likely will gather dust for the foreseeable future.

No joke, I've been working on a browser plug-in for #twoweeks. Annotating commenters is one of the planned features. It's not quite ready to ship. The comment page DOM tree is... creatively designed.
The comments and the block that has the nick/timestamp/hash are two separate siblings that alternate throughout the center column, for example. A hash isn't an attribute of a comment. Imagine going to a grocery store with one aisle full of food on shelves and on the next aisle over, all of the price tags. Kind of like that. So that's nice!
It goes slowly.

My boys are growing/grown. Fledged. A couple of years ago I wanted to capture a good Bander Boys experience and proposed a camping trip with a hike up my father's favorite mountain, Mt. Monadnock.
Twenty years prior I had scattered his ashes from the summit. I remembered it as more of an uphill walk than a serious climb. We went up in a couple of hours, let the winds take his remains, and walked down the hill.
So in the end only No. 1 Son could make this trip, but we had a successful camping adventure and set out to walk up the hill. On the way up someone looked at us and said "you'll need more water". I accepted it out of only politeness. I think I even remembered a spring coming out of the rock near the trail. Ain't no thing.
Well, the hike went on an on. I kept thinking it was around the next bend. There were stretches that went straight up. Have I lost that much in 20 years? I have to take stops to rest. We achieve the summit and No. 1 says "so where did you scatter his ashes?". I point randomly and say "over there".
Now, when this has all passed I call Mommy and tell her what we did. She asks, "which Monadnock?" I say "Monadnock, silly, the one that the geological formation is named after". She says "there's a Big Monadnock and a Little Monadnock".
So, I checked and it turns out that the walk up the hill was Little Monadnock, 1900 feet. No. 1 Son and I had hiked Big Monadnock, 3,200 feet.
No wonder it didn't look familiar.

I'd just like an app that let's me know which commenters are actually,
a room full of coked up spider monkeys pounding on keyboards edited by Gordon Ramsey
and those who are
actually a room full of LSD microdosing tapirs.
Now, that would improve my HQ experience.
I'm pretty the Steve and Cold Bear nick is a ruse by macrodosing tapirs to throw us off track.

We donated all our own instruments -- the only caveat was that if a kid wanted to play, they could use one of the donated instruments. That way, the school had usable instruments that allowed even poor kids to join.

We have a nicely blackened aluminum pot that was part of a kit. That's what we use for everything, boiling water, making noodles+tuna. The stove and fuel nest perfectly in there. Just need a spork and camp mug. I think titanium is crazy expensive v. aluminum. I guess the weight savings makes sense if you're climbing K2, but I don't think it's worth it.

Any Dem strategy of 're-create' 68 should have a similar negative impact. I say should. I don't have the time to tear apart every poll like I did for Trump, but old habits of pollsters of starting with a conclusion then getting the numbers they need to prove that conclusion seem to be in play again.
My prediction is the American people don't want Nancy Pelosi walking around with her 'big gavel' again.
Posted by: Forgot My Nic at August 25, 2018 06:49 AM (LOgQ4)
Pollsters are fraudsters simply based on sample size.
Each demographic is large enough to require on the order of 10000 samples to get to 95% confidence with a +/-5% spread. So just doing D/R and M/F gets you into 40K sample size. The pollsters operate on 1-2K sample sizes. Then and "magic" to claim theirs is accurate.

I know conventional wisdom is that you need larger calibers to stop a bear. But I wonder, if one had an automatic that shot smaller rounds, like .223, could you at least wound or chase off the bear?
