Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Rant"I'm tired of hearing news that the IG's office, or the DOJ, or some other federal agency, has determined that James Comey or John Brennan or other Obama administration officials are lying, or broke this or that law, or lied to some court or federal agency, and this is treated like some sort of bombshell. And then that's the last you hear about it. "What would be a bombshell would be seeing James Comey, or John Brennan, or James Clapper experiencing first-hand the FBI busting into their houses at 4 in the morning, getting arrested, frog-marched to the hoosegow, having to stand trial, and face jail time. As it stands now, for the first time in American History, Deep State actors have attempted a coup against a sitting president -- and are basically getting away with it. "It's gotten to the point now where every time I read that Comey did this or Brennan did that, I just kind of roll my eyes and move on to the next news item."
The "candidates child" this twitter idiot is so concerned about being "attacked" is Hunter Biden, who is, like, 50 years old and who very well could be hip deep in corruption. We're not talking about Malia Obama or Barron Trump here. I was going to give it a dumbness rating, but it's kind of beyond dumb; it's past the point where dumbness turns into mendaciousness.

That is how a deep dish is supposed to look. There is a certain ratio of sauce to cheese that is required. My local vendors put essentially the same amount of sauce on all the crust thicknesses and so it is oversauced for the thin and undersauced for the thick.

"How is it that the press is NOT following his [Biden and son's] every move 24x7 since this scandal broke."
Ha! And how is it that the press gleefully accepts Ilhan Omar's insults and stonewalling? The questions answer themselves: The press hates our living guts. They live in an insular world that excludes, ignores, and fails to understand honest traditional Americans. They are OWNED by the Democrat Party. They are not reporters, they are woke activists.

Yes, he is in hiding because the process servers for the woman who claims he fathered her child are after him. They want to force him to provide a DNA sample. I can't think of an example where Hunter hasn't f#cked up. My bet is he's trying to get to South Africa, his new wife's homeland, ASAP (if he isn't already there).

Iran has for weeks been saying "Drop all the sanctions if you want to talk! We want to talk, but you have to drop the sanctions first!!!" and Trump simply said "No." So now Iran is saying "America came to us and said they'd drop all the sanctions if we would just talk, and we said No!"

Have you ever emailed a reporter to show them something they wrote was not true or was tendentiously, deceptively portrayed?

" I don't even bother to learn all the myriad players and details of Spygate etc, because they'll never ever see justice,"
I have some hope that with enough exposure of the raw crime wave in the Obama years (and long before, really) ... they will have to take some action. Judicial Watch appears to be exposing some of it ... but AG Barr and his team don't seem to be hot on the trail of this Ukraine stuff ... it will have to be forced upon them (via overwhelming public perception that Barr also is protecting Biden/Hillary/DeepState). Manafort was put in solitary as torture to get him to lie for Mueller ... but the coup members get huge book deals and seats on CNN and MSNBC to push the coup ahead, 24/7. Tony Podesta's investigation is apparently dropped ... many of these crimes .. we could do the dawn raids but nope ... just some "mistakes were made" BS. Maybe they are going to do one big Dawn Raid ... but so far it looks more like it won't be till a second term for Trump, maybe not even then. The DeepState is for now "TooBigToJail". Also TooBigToFire, TooBig to stop them from leaking Trump's phone calls. tick tock Posted by: illiniwek at September 27, 2019 11:44 AM (Cus5s) Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler at September 27, 2019 11:44 AM (+y/Ru) Posted by: Regular joe at September 27, 2019 11:44 AM (6/uwW) 194

I liked the first couple of years of Enterprise, but the sci fi aspects were weak: it just didn't feel like early space travel and the tech was just dumb. They had a great chance to explore the gritty science fiction side of how the tech and the federation developed, and instead had some lame magic tech "polarized metal" crap and went with this dumb and annoying meta storyline of the time wars which was just awful. Huge missed opportunity, and I actually liked the cast unlike the previous two star trek shows.

>>I thought of this while writing today's rant, and I would really like to believe that he's busy behind the scenes cooking up some monster payback, but there are some things that even Trump can't do. So I don't know.
It won't surprise me if we find out this whistleblower complaint is a trap. Trump didn't just ask Zelensky for help, he specifically asked him about Crowdstrike and "a server". That's not just any old information, that is the core. And Trump got the whistleblower to put it out there in the public domain. Durham has been focusing on Ukraine according to the DOJ. Everyone knows what happened. So 1 of 2 things are going to happen. Trump will get all the information and do nothing or people will be held accountable. My money is on Trump bringing the wood.

"Real investigations don't happen on CNN or MSNBC.
They happen quietly and only surface when they are ready to move forward with charges or do nothing. C'mon, Trump didn't talk about this to the Zelensky for nothing. He knows. Does Donald Trump strike you as the kind of guy who would allow this to go unpunished when these people have been attacking him, his family, his friends and his administration for more than 3 years?"Posted by: JackStraw Your view is the hope, I try to keep it alive. But I don't think Barr is as aggressive as he should have been. Durham is supposedly good ... but too many times I hear that certain things are not even looked at. Maybe with the new Ukraine prez just since last May, more things can fall in place. The "concern" is that even the R's in the senate would vote to impeach if the graft machine that is DC gets threatened (and more than half would be implicated in crimes, perhaps). DeepState is willing to destroy Trump BAMN, because he is an existential threat. And THEY still have most of DC ... or at least that is an open question, who really still has control. How much more is there to look at, with Hunter and Biden. It is open crime, and we get "we are looking into it". Hillary destroyed evidence under subpoena ... nothing happens, I guess they "looked into it" and found, "mistakes were made".

But the overall tenor of the show would be about facing the vast and unknown dangers the cosmos, so a ship that's always breaking in certain ways helps increase the tension around the overall danger. No aliens in the show either. Near the end of the Romulan War, an admiral gives an old ship not needed for the war to a one-legged captain in an effort to try and reclaim Starfleet's lost mission of exploration. The captain takes the ship in the opposite direction of anything Starfleet knows, and they encounter dangers on a cosmic scale.

Near the end of the Romulan War, an admiral gives an old ship not needed for the war to a one-legged captain in an effort to try and reclaim Starfleet's lost mission of exploration. The captain takes the ship in the opposite direction of anything Starfleet knows, and they encounter dangers on a cosmic scale.

I liked the original Starship Troopers movie. And not just because of the coed naked shower. Didn't know there were sequels.

"Well, not an actual reporter, but I did email the WaPo's film/TV reviewer about a relatively minor factual error he made in one of his reviews. I tried to be polite and respectful and I got a polite response within a couple of hours thanking me for alerting him to an error he could correct before the print edition came out. And yes, he did correct his mistake using the information I had given him."
The best I've come to expect is that they correct the article without acknowledging the error, and without replying back to me at all. But usually they reply with an arrogant dodge, or even provable lies. I once wrote to an NYT "science reporter" that the girl "genius" he was reporting about had made claims that were physically and numerically impossible, and cited the girl's website as proof. Instead of correcting the error, they alerted the girl (!), who scrubbed the BS off her website within five minutes. Another time, I wrote to a local reporter, asking them why they always elide race from police suspect descriptions, and provided them a description screenshot from a citizen-reporters website. The asshole reporter wrote back "That is not police text." So I replied, pointing him to the police dept blotter, proving that the text there was EXACTLY the same as the screenshot I sent him. I demanded that he explain why he LIED to me. Never got an answer. OM, I am disappointed that you have not learned yet that the mainstream press is our determined enemy. Any given day, you can find plenty of errors to email them about. Do it more often, and you will learn that they DO NOT care about truth. They only care about woke narrative now. Our only hope now is in citizen-reporter websites, like CWBChicago, who report the truth, and who are routinely DISDAINED by the mainstream press, who have 10000X the resources that the citizen-reporters do. The other day, I saw John Sexton write that he thought the sucker-punch attacks, that have plagued America for years, were a big surprise to him! That's what you get when you trust the mainstream media, and ignore everything else, like he does. Posted by: gp's Exciting Radio Adventures! at September 27, 2019 12:14 PM (mk9aG) 445

I've thought ever since it came out that Trump is the whistleblower.
"Hey guys, watch this. You're not going to believe what I can make them do." Posted by: Moron Robbie - Far Cry 5 ignores Montana's history of fascism and its victims: alt-wrong [ at September 27, 2019 12:07 PM (nsE7Q) The reason I say now is that it's hard for us to imagine just how far into the bubble Adam Schiff and his little mob are. They are absolute true believers, and they cannot imagine their plans not working. (Like Wiley Coyote) As I said, I finally read the whistleblower complaint, and remember, it's obvious Schiff had a copy from the start, when he was agitating for its public release. Read it - it is clearly a legal document written by a group of lawyers, specifying certain laws, making interpretations; that's why Schiff was so excited, he loved something that looked like a finished committee report. But here's the mistake that any normal person spots instantly, that Schiff and Co. can't see because they're so deep in the bubble: It is clearly NOT a "whistleblower" report. People actually do know what those look like, it's "I saw this and I think it was wrong." It is NOT "I heard a report from several anonymous sources that a violation of Section 4673.25 of the Federal Code may have been contemplated." and to make it even worse, the complaint assumes the actual transcript of the call would never be released, because part of it is focused on the "coverup" of the transcript. That was all blown when the transcript was released immediately, and Zelensky agreed to it. Schiff and Co. tried to be so clever that they screwed themselves.

Near the end of the Romulan War, an admiral gives an
old ship not needed for the war to a one-legged captain in an effort to try and reclaim Starfleet's lost mission of exploration. The captain takes the ship in the opposite direction of anything Starfleet knows, and they encounter dangers on a cosmic scale.

The plot of the episode is a giant in-joke; a TV producer is going to come in and make a TV special using the Stargate program as a basis, and they start pitching ideas to him, and do a lot of 5 minute pieces based on other shows. One of the best is when they all show up in FarScape costumes, and the director taking pitches says "no, that's too obscure, never heard of that one." and the last one is the Marionette seen - I don't know anyone who can watch that without falling down laughing!

"My money is on Trump bringing the wood"Posted by: JackStraw
many things coming together that make that plausible. But Trump is dependent on a whole team in the administration to make it so. Some concern is how many more sleepers can be awakened to keep leaking or that will "stand down" at the most urgent times? (thinking of the last boxer in Diggstown, that takes the fall) The Qanon type vision is that Trump has his own team the whole time ... remember the time Trump was pictured with a bunch of mostly military, and he said it was the calm before the storm, or some such? Reporters asked "what storm", Trump said "you'll see". So is Trump The Storm? we hope so ... a team of the white hats from NSA (Mike Rogers old home) that have their own intelligence? idk, that would be nice, haven't seen it happening yet, but Trump is still alive at least.

This is my big problem with Stranger Things. The women aren't alpha bitches, but the females are always the one's saving the day while the guys are either being rescued or standing back and watching it happen. It makes sense when we're talking about Eleven, but Nancy? Come on. Just once I'd like to see the MALES step up and rescue everyone.
Posted by: MWR, The Public Intellectual (aka Beth) at September 27, 2019 12:21 PM (rP4OC) It took me a while to realize this, but Jessica Jones had this as well (the first season anyway, I didn't watch the later ones). In that show, the only male characters of note were: the psychopathic villain Luke Cage (whose personality is that he's a beefcake) The druggie dude who lives in the apartment near Jessica who is completely dependent on her to get his life together The boyfriend of Jessica's friend who turns out to be controlling and abusive.

More press lying trying to force Pelosi's hand. Yesterday they were saying that there were 218 votes for impeachment in the House.

Posted by: DamnedYankee at September 27, 2019 12:23 PM (37IEG) Yeah, I bet Nancy has a better sense of the vote count in the House than all of the Taters of the press do.

Has any reporter asked Sheila Jackson Lee how many pounds an AR-15 actually weighs, or what cartridge they usually fire?

Among all the terrible things about Voyager is how the Borg were utterly bitchified as antagonists.
They started out an unstoppable foe that wiped out Star Fleet with a single ship. By the end of 'Voyager,' it was Janeway and the Borg Queen swapping catty soap-opera lines with each other. Posted by: Victor Tango Kilo at September 27, 2019 12:31 PM (O7MnT) 591

Diogenes,
He HAS to do something, because when he leaves office, whether after one term, two, or impachment and conviction, the democrats will destroy him, his family, and his businesses. He knows this, and so do Melania and the kids. Note how Melania, Don Jr., Kim Guilfoyle, Ivanka, Jared and even Tiffany were there, along with a lot of cabinet and the VP. Only Eric and Lana were missing and I would bet they were kept away for business reasons. He didn't go into this without a family council ahead of time. All of them were on board. So he is not about to let them be persecuted by Hillary and the rest of the goon squad, which they would do in order to make the Trumps " A Lesson to Us All." No way!

Although, how would they know how utterly isolated they would be? That they would no longer be able to speak a word that wouldn't be twisted and used to ruin their and their children's lives.

As minority leader, Kevin McCarthy can bring privileged motions and things to the floor for votes.
He did it Wednesday, I think it was Wednesday, and got a whole bunch of Democrats to sort of vote in favor of Impeachment. He did force a vote and Nancy responded by calling for a vote to hold the vote. All dems + Justin Amash voted to not allow the vote so basically they all endorsed impeachment by voice vote by not allowing a record vote.

You must be a real moron if you thing that is deep dish pizza in those two pics!! Everyone knows real deep dish has crushed tomatoes on top of the cheese to prevent it from burning. Reason being is because the crust is relatively thin so that the inside can contain lots of mozzarella cheese. In order to melt all that cheese, the pizza has to stay in the oven a long time-thus burning it if left unprotected. Amateurs!!
