Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Thursday Night ONT: Stolen Thunder EditionGee, I had a big section on the SJWs driving that poor porn star to kill herself, and Ace went and wrote a whole post on it. Frankly, I'm expecting to get the 21st century version of this letter in my email any day now. A Smart Military Blog Napoleon was the Best General Ever, and the Math Proves it. Kind of interesting and wonky, a great article for historians who wish they were baseball nerds. I wasn't clear on how he determined the value for R, which is kind of key to his whole rating system. Still, worth a look and I know there are a number of stats minded people here who will eat it up. Cute! Smart little girl. Music is a great way to teach kids. They are like sponges for knowledge, a lot more than most adults give them credit for. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen was Little, when he was Wee Little, learning to manipulate his environment and establishing the relationship of different objects in it to each other. I could actually SEE him thinking.
Feel Good Story of the Day He’s 22. She’s 81. Their Friendship Is Melting Hearts. A 22 year old black rapper started playing Words With Friends with an 81 year old white retiree, and the two became fast friends. I think Ms Roz (the retiree) said it best: Ms. Guttman doesn’t know what all the fuss is about, since “people should be behaving this way with each other all the time.”Amen. People Send Me Stuff for the ONT All The Time Like this. “Celery is the toothbrush for your colon” What to make of it? I dunno. Read the Bible What the Book of Genesis Tells Us About Sexual Harassment and #MeToo Or perhaps the words of John Adams ring true: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."In any event, I've seen people claiming that everything going on in Washington is a result of the government falling apart. Maybe. But also maybe the Washington we have is the result of we the people falling apart. Dilly Dilly! Crushing it on social media: Bud Light sends Minneapolis brewery a cease and desist from the Renaissance Pretty damn clever. Also cool that they gave the brewery owners two tickets to the Super Bowl. Related: Dilly Dildo! Bills fans are at it again. If this starts to become an annual tradition (and odds look good that it might), and if in response the Bills start searching fans entering the game for contraband dildos, I shudder to think exactly how these fans will start hiding them on their persons. I'm Becoming a Big Fan of Sarah Huckabee Sanders Is she the best Press Secretary we've ever had? Dunno about that, but she's the perfect Press Sec for Trump. Not only did she tell reporters trying to gin up outrage over Trump calling Warren “Pocahontas” last week that what was outrageous was Warren falsely claiming to have Indian heritage, but then there is this: Drain The Swamp! Just a reminder that we've got loons on "our side" too. Down the rabbit hole we go: The Greatest Tradition in Sports This weekend is the Army-Navy game. Here are the Army unis, honoring the 10th Mountain Division While Navy pays tribute to the Blue Angels #GoNavyBeatArmy The Yahoo Group has been thinking about “Rum, Sodomy, and the lash”.

They haven't called a delayed start or canceled school yet. They usually wait until 5am to call, email! And text every number and email address you have ever used. I know they will delay school start times because there is a freeze until about 8-9 am and it's been snowing for hours. The roads will be icy and we aren't equipped for that.

Learning ancient languages
If you really want to get depressed, consider the fate of a language like Udi / Caucasian-Albanian. Survives in a few lectionaries dug out of Sinai (and only because someone else thought the parchment was valuable, so scraped off its text), some monuments in northern Azerbaijan, and maybe some graffiti. Here's a literate culture that might well have written down all sorts of other stuff about its history and culture... but we won't ever read it, because the texts are lost and everyone who could once read it is now dead.

My first ONT in forever, and a selfish visit.
Prayers please, for my husband's mother. If she makes it to Christmas I think it will be a miracle. She lives in an unscale retirement community outside ATL, and refused to move into an assisted living apartment from her way too large "cottage" (3,000 sq. ft.) a few months ago. She keeps having spells due to BP dropping, and needs nearly round-the-clock care now, which she can well afford but doesn't want. My husband went up briefly, but he's a business owner dealing with a million things and couldn't stay. His ATL siblings are pretty useless. In comes D'oh Boy, who finishes exams tomorrow and has offered to go up and stay with her indefinitely. I love my kid. Two of his younger cousins have offered to help as needed as well. Anyhow, MiL is 93, has lived a very blessed, incredible life. I wish for all our sakes the old girl would make it through Christmas. /rant/letting go of stuff Posted by: Jane D'oh at December 07, 2017 10:19 PM (ptqGC) 92

I'll draw parallel to the August Ames girl being driven to suicide on social media. First, you can't run away from social media so you are trapped. I empathize and sympathize with her on a personal level
The second parallel I'll draw is that humans have to be conditioned and trained to kill other humans. See our military or any military/fighting force for that matter. Same can be said for psychopaths who target individuals hoping that they try and harm themselves. Suicide is not natural and is not an easy choice to make. I'll leave it with that and walk away. Y'all have a peaceful night. Posted by: Monk at December 07, 2017 10:22 PM (g4lFK) 102
60 He analyzed individual battles, not the results of campaigns or wars.
In other words, he is claiming that Napoleon was the greatest tactician ever. --- I think me misses the boat in at least one sense. If you win a battle big enough, there isn't another battle in a few weeks as the other guy surrenders. The fewness of Alexander's battles compared to the territory won is itself a measure of greatness. Posted by: James MacArthur at December 07, 2017 10:22 PM (vChNs) 103

If Napoleon had just hunkered down and stuck to fending off invasions he might have made Germany Carolingian again... then those Frenchmen who, in our timeline, died in Russia would have lived happy long lives porking blonde German and Polish women instead

Napoleon as a winner?
Lost Egypt. Lost in Russia. Lost at Waterloo. If that is one dude's metric for winning, hate to see his metric for losing. Posted by: Anna Puma (HQCaR) at December 07, 2017 10:04 PM (mB06r) I think the metric that was used was how much the commanding general added or detracted from the balance of each sides forces. He rates Napoleon highly because Napoleon's armies usually won while being the underdog (on paper), while other generals who always won were less rated because their armies were also already superior. The fact that the number of battles has such an impact on the rating makes the ranking suspect. Posted by: The Six Star General at December 07, 2017 10:25 PM (itfg0) 115

First, you can't run away from social media so you are trapped.
You can... and can't. It's just that the SJWs get off of twitter, notify news outlets, and generally try to hound you out of a job. Which unfortunately works because HR departments are full of SJWs too, and companies are scared of them. Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at December 07, 2017 10:26 PM (6FqZa) 118
So they ambush-interview Mike Flynn without his lawyer. The guy who interviews Flynn is Hillary's Counter-intelligence operative and is canned for hackery. They hide this fact until Flynn pleads guilty, in violation of all rules of evidence.
And now Flynn's judge recuses himself. Guess what? He's a FISA Court judge, perhaps the one who permitted the Trump family to be wiretapped for the Clinton Campaign. I would guess that the Mueller/Clinton/Media Party will co-ordinate to bring back out the women who accused Trump. Mueller will probably go after Trump's businesses and his family members, trying to bait Trump into firing him. Throw in the phony Obstruction of Justice charge for firing the corrupt hack Jim Comey and there's your Impeachment Soup. It won't work, of course. but It's What's for Democrat Dinner.

What the Book of Genesis Tells Us About Sexual Harassment and #MeToo
======== The last paragraph should've been more specific: As Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks--somewhat prophetically--wrote last year, "When a society loses faith, eventually it loses the very idea of a sexual ethics, and the result in the long term is violence and the exploitation of the powerless by the powerful. . . . So it was the days of the patriarchs. Sadly, so it is today." That should be "When a society loses Judeo-Christian faith". Muslim society has great faith, but their sexual ethics are about on par with that of the average congressman. Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at December 07, 2017 10:28 PM (/qEW2) 125

'Hmmm' on the list of great generals. This model is... problematic. On the one hand, I see no mention of Nathan Bedford Forrest- which is a huge oversight.

Napoleon basically kicked the shit out of every nation in Europe for 15 years. It's generally when he ventured outside of Europe that things got dicey (yes, in this context I'm counting Russia as outside of Europe).
His biggest strategic failing is that he believed that the only way he could stay in power was to keep feeding France with glorious victories. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at December 07, 2017 10:31 PM (eXA4G) 135

After the disasterous BRAC "Peace Dividend" era, the adjoining Kelly AFB logistics base was dissolved. The East side of the base, was sold and/or gifted to various civilian commercial enterprises. The West side of the base was absorbed by Lackland AFB, and is now the Active Runway at said Air Force Base. Prior to this, the only "runway" at Lackland was the asphalt paved "runway" immediately in front of the reviewing stand at the Base Parade Field. That is all. Carry on.

The big problem with Napoleon wasn't his good or bad points as a general. The problem was his inability to check his own martial instincts. As he himself said, his legitimacy as a ruler was based on nothing but his ability to win in battle and bring France glory. The very nature of his power compelled him to keep pushing warfare to the point where it turned against him, and then he had no way (in his opinion) to stabilize his rule.
It's a good example of being a great general but not a great statesman. Posted by: T at December 07, 2017 10:41 PM (MmeCn) 173

The general rating system is an interesting try, but deeply flawed. Even the author admits Napoleon gets the edge because he fought so many more identified set-piece battles than anyone else we have data for. I think a better judgment combines the qualities of daring and innovation, together with the ability to avoid disaster.
And bear in mind this ever prescient quote from Sun Tzu: "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy''s resistance without fighting." also "What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but who excels at winning with ease."

As soon as one faction gets up too far the rest gang up to pull them down. War of all against all. Their only common enemy is free people.

Looks like Brexit is getting interesting... and potentially bloody.
Ireland wants to keep it's "soft border" with Northern Ireland, and both Ireland and the EU want to keep Northern Ireland de facto within the EU, with an internal UK border running down the Irish sea. The UK gov't said all the UK entered so all the UK leaves. Further, the N. Irish unionist party (DUP), who are propping up the Tory minority government, said hell f**king no to any of that. In response, the IRA and Ireland are trying to trigger an election (as per the peace agreement) to get Northern Ireland to rejoin Ireland an stay in the EU (a vote which they'd would likely win). However, any such move would most likely mean that Ulster unionist forces just any and all peace agreements and get violent. And remember, the unionist paramilitaries were always far, far more vicious than the IRA. Any bets that weapons are being stockpiled, and bombs made, right now?

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 200.
let's see. i = 9 + r = 18 + e = 5 but there are 2 of them, so moving the 5 over 2 places = 50 and n = 14, but we reverse and get 41. So 50 + 41 = 91, minus the 9 from i = 1 + 18 = 19, which is just the 91 in reverse. So the number you're thinking of is 10.

@180 Napoleon wasn't even the most successful French general...if we define success as looking after 1815...that would be Bernadotte...who managed to get himself crowned King of Sweden...
-------------------- And fought against his former boss, Napoleon, at the Battle of Nations. Amusingly, the story goes that when Bernadotte was offered the throne, he asked Napoleon for advice.

Although it's completely unsubstantiated speculation, I wonder if the Flynn judge's recusal was caused by the OIC investigation getting too close-- like if this judge WAS the one who approved the Flynn surveillance in the first place, and it was supposed to be a Mueller railroad op that couldn't go on with the OiC looking over their shoulder...

The general rating system is an interesting try, but deeply flawed. Even the author admits Napoleon gets the edge because he fought so many more identified set-piece battles than anyone else we have data for. I think a better judgment combines the qualities of daring and innovation, together with the ability to avoid disaster.

I have "familial" ties (for lack of a better term), to some Officers in the Police Service of Northern Ireland. And bunches of folks who reside in the Six Counties.
So, I'll send an inquiry to a certain Officer, who is all too familiar with both sides of those "festivities". Such as I can learn, I'll pass along.

If Franken had been more handsy with his staff, coming close to raping someone, for example, the Senate needs a way to deal with it. But, the stuff Franken is accused of 1) happened before he was elected, and 2) was pretty lightweight stuff.

The IRA was an entirely COMMUNIST front, using "The Church" as cover. Take a bus tour through the areas behind The Wall in Belfast. Damn near every mural, features World Communist Icons. Castro, Che, Pol Pot, Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Mugabe, etc. Though a novel, read Leon Uris' book "Trinity". Does a damn good job of 'splainin things. Much like his book "The Raj" nails EXACTLY the origins of the Israel / Palestine mess. The Venona Papers, reveald after the fall of the Soviet Union, document the USSR funding of the IRA, in no small detail. Commies are commies are commies, everywhere.

A smart opposition party could truthfully counter that false claim by pointing out the Republicans who were ousted in the past 20 years or so for far less egregious reasons than sexual assault. Many of those were driven out by the Dems. The RNC could rightly claim they were far ahead of the Dems. But we don't have a smart opposition party. We don't have an opposition party at all.

Thank you Shibumi.
--- You're welcome Doctor. It's a really really hard decision to make, and most people don't understand it. But the only way to saver yourself-- and your family-- from being miserable is no contact with the bad person. Honestly, it was the best decision my Dad made, and I appreciate it. The decision is hard, but... not every woman who has a child is fit to be mother from an emotional standpoint. And exposure to those kind of hyper toxic people is really, really hard on everyone. Best to walk away. Until you're in that situation yourself, you can't understand it. Posted by: shibumi at December 07, 2017 11:35 PM (aT+Bx) 365

Well, I got armored up in the covvies, and went out and changed my flat tire. Couldn't put a plug in it, as my plug kit was not in the basket where it belongs. But the jack and wheel wrench were there, and I was able to carry out the tire change without a struggle. Spare is a touch low on air, but I will hook up the little compressor later, and air it up. But it's able to roll any time.

The only problem with that is Senators are elected by the people. As long as we stick with that, then a recall election should be the way to recall them. But, it should maybe be limited to one shot midterm - the 3 years mark. Don't want a case of an evenly divided state with a controversial Senator (say Trump) that is constantly running recall elections.

Let the Governor appoint a U.S. Senator, with NO State Legislature approval. No "process freeze" in legislative process, which led directly to the 17th Amendment. A state elects a Governor?

Posted by: The Inexplicable Dr. Julius Strangepork at December 07, 2017 11:47 PM (bCF6k) Actually, one of the main drives to ratify the 17th Amendment was because the legislators were too easy to bribe , and it was thought that direct election would make it harder for to buy a seat. The shenanigans that happened in Delaware in the 1890's and 1900's was infamous. Let us not also forget that state Legislatures can be plenty corrupt on their own, and being able to elect Senators would give them an in to funnel graft and $$$ to themselves.

"382 Until you're in that situation yourself, you can't understand it."
I understand it. Luckily, most of my family (including my mother!) is quite sane and healthy, but I have one female relative whom I try to be close to and take of to a certain extent, but she has a full blown personality disorder. And I'm not being hyperbolic, I mean the real thing - emotions go from warm and friendly to intensely hateful within 2 minutes, and then back again. I think I have enough other stability in my life to deal with her a little bit - I feel sorry for her, she is very lonely since she works so hard at driving people away from her.

Since repealing the 17th is long way off, I have an interim solution. The House should cut funding for Senate staff. The State's would be required to provide the staff for Senators as State government employees, paid for by the States. It's not about saving money - its about returning some control and communication to the State governments. There would still be a few Senate employees keeping the lights on, etc., but the personal and committee staff would be employees of the several States.

Since repealing the 17th is long way off, I have an interim solution. The House should cut funding for Senate staff. The State's would be required to provide the staff for Senators as State government employees, paid for by the States. It's not about saving money - its about returning some control and communication to the State governments. There would still be a few Senate employees keeping the lights on, etc., but the personal and committee staff would be employees of the several States.

I'm guessing sodomy and the lash, because I never hear WD talking booze.
There is a system of huts at high altitude around CO named for the 10th Mtn. I've been to one, twice, above Aspen (around 11,000 ft I think). There's some interest in organizing an "historically accurate" biathlon - snowshoes and mountaineering skis, Mosins and Finn Mosins and Springfields and K98s, and steel profile targets at realistic ranges, engaged from cover. No fey fancy Anschutz 22s, high-camber competition skis, or gay little disks at short range. Actually the biathlon has become watchable and exciting with lots of TV cameras, pretty dramatic. Key is the leverage of the shooting - one miss for a top 10 racer, in the latter stages, and bye bye. The historical biathlon wouldn't be watchable in that sense, but much more interesting to compete in. Posted by: rhomboid at December 08, 2017 12:24 AM (QDnY+) 469
Skyfall was the last Bond movie I went to see. But it was Quantum of Solace that in my mind is the worst of the Craig films. Completely skipped the last one Spectre because of the hack job they did to the whole Bond universe just in the trailer.

@460 You wouldn't plug a captured laptop (or whatever it is) into your network without a thorough check first?
--------------------- I've got a friend who runs his own retail store. I was talking to him one day and explaining why I dislike Skyfall so much, and mentioned the hacking scene (among other things). A few days later, I was back in his store chatting with him. He told me that not long after I left on the previous day, he noticed an unfamiliar flash drive plugged into his cash register. He asked the guy at the register what it was doing there, and was told that the guy had found the drive, and wanted to see what was on it. /facepalm As for the scene, you wouldn't put the laptop on your network even after a thorough check. You might have missed something, after all. Instead, you'd put it on a closed network that only goes to an isolated computer that isn't connected to anything else, and you'd use that isolated computer to examine the contents. That way, if there's something hiding out on the machine that your anti-malware scan didn't catch, the only machine that gets infected is the one that you're using to examine the system.

One of the distressing things about being a stepmom was that my stepdaughter's mother is a truly perverse person. There was no way for me to protect my stepdaughter (or husband) and I worried so much about her.
I did try to persuade my husband to go back to court and get more defined visitation rights, but he wouldn't consider it even though he wanted more visitation. One good thing about my son-in-law (the fellow that I was concerned about my stepdaughter marrying) is that when the mom tries to impose her insanity on everyone else, he has a wonderful way of rebuffing her that she seems to respond well to. He's not mean but he makes it clear that the rest of the family is not going to participate in whatever neurosis she is peddling.

The P-38G and H were visually identical with only some equipment differences. With the introduction of the J, the radiators were given a more forward location that resulted in that flat profile under the spinners.
A P-38F can only be distinguished from a G or H by looking at the superchargers, on the F they were more buried in the upper booms.

Hammer, CG,
Dog is doing slightly better. Meds have had some time to get into her system and get some traction. She is eating a little but that is much improved over nothing and trending in the right direction. We have started her on anti-nausea meds and some appetite stimulants as of this evening. Hopefully that helps move things along in the right direction more quickly. Thanks for asking and, I presumptuously assume, your well wishes for the dog. Naturally I will understand if they are only for the dog.

Posted by: yankeefifth at December 08, 2017 01:17 AM Yeah, it's very important. As is the theme tune/song. A great opener, plus a killer tune does often lead to a better movie... or maybe it gets you pumped enough to overlook the weak aspects. With the songs, it baffles me how the producers get it so wrong, so often. Particularly over the last couple of decades. Get a great theme, FFS.

Hopefully that helps move things along in the right direction more quickly. Thanks for asking and, I presumptuously assume, your well wishes for the dog. Naturally I will understand if they are only for the dog." Posted by: yankeefifth at December 08, 2017 01:30 AM (MTjB1) 605

My dog is 14 now. I ran across some pictures of him when he was about 6 months old. My how he's changed. A lot more gray in his muzzle now, and no more brown fur on his feet, it's all gone gray.

So, was looking at new beds for a while. Considered everything. Some new company saatva is out there and makes a very compelling internet site argument for their bed. they and some other internets only mattress companies are battling it out by arguing who has the most ant the highest percentage of positive reviews. Either it is their strategy or some shrewd targeting that every advertisement they ran for me had some lbfm sitting on their bed. not that I am really a lbfm guy but would never say that they are unappealing.
So, the point of everything before was simply to say that as attractive as their marketing and advertising people can make their product online all it takes is one beat up old pickup pulling up next to you with one of their mattresses, soiled, stained, piled high with crap to ruin the image they have so carefully cultivated.

Checking out the competition for the cookbook. There's some interesting titles. There's something called, "Thug Kitchen" and another called, "What the Fuck Should I make for Dinner." Yeah, I think my Grandma had that last one when I was a kid.
There's also one called "Vegans save the Worldlant-based Recipes and Inspired Ideas for Every Week of the Year ". This makes me want to find the authors and meet them in person.

Tintin is by a Belgian, iirc. Probably the best thing to ever come out of that country (and may the fleas from a thousand camels infest Steven Spielberg's armpits for that travesty of a movie).
The movie "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Doors" is also apparently based on a long-running French comic. Though since I haven't seen the movie of the comic strip, I can't comment on it. Posted by: junior at December 08, 2017 01:28 AM (ZZYK1) Valerian and Laureline is a good comic. It started out more conventional space opera, but ended up doing some very original things (a good chunk of Star Wars was stolen from it). In it's later years it got kinda political, but the '60's and '70's stuff is good. Posted by: The Temporal Hat at December 08, 2017 01:44 AM (itfg0) 629
So, in HS we had alternating captains on our baseball team.
Each week's captain had to do the Warm-Up portion of Practice. This usually started 1/2 hour before the Coach got there and ended when he showed up. My week I brought a TV, VCR, a bunch of extension cords and a box of giant leg warmers. When the coach showed up I had everyone doing the Jane Fonda Workout. Ran a lot of laps that week.

IIRC, Duran Duran was a character in the only Jane Fonda movie in which she displayed her talent.
She showed glimpses of that talent here and there in a couple of movies. The one where she showed more was a French movie, La Curee, that she made with first husband Roger Vadim.

AOP: what kid of samples do you get? i wasn't aware oil rigs brought up cores
Posted by: redc1c4 at December 08, 2017 03:51 AM (huVNL) Well, they sure can cut cores, but that is a special (and expensive) operation these days, and normally only done on exploration wells. And the routine these days is to sleeve the core in an aluminum sleeve, cut it into 4-foot lengths, put caps on the ends, and hot-shot it to the lab in a refrigerated container. I don't even get to look at it, barring a few small slivers that fall out as it is being cut into lengths. But the samples I normally examine are drill cuttings, caught off the shale shaker. Washed and dried, it looks like kitty litter. And indeed, cuttings of actual shale work just fine for that purpose; or as floor-dry. I often save my excess dried cuttings to use that way.

Posted by: redc1c4 at December 08, 2017 04:17 AM (TQ41L) That's about right. They use the cores to do mainly petrophysical analysis, porosity and permeability, and of course, breakdown of any petroleum contained therein. The cuttings are more than sufficient for us to tell that we are in the right target formation, and even can give us a fair clue to reservoir quality. On a horizontal well like this, my role is mainly to make certain that the wellbore remains in the desired layer of the formation, and that indeed it is still there at all. Sometimes we will encounter a place where the target formation was eroded away, or never deposited.

WOW!
The judge handling the Flynn sentencing has recused himself because he was on the FISA court. He must have been the judge that accepted the Flynn plea agreement. Also someone stated here a couple of days ago that he Giglio rule for exculpatory evidence doesn't apply to plea agreements, but all criminal defense lawyers know this. So defense lawyers have the prosecution declare under oath that they have no exculpatory evidence. So either Flynn can say he had negligent representation or the prosecutor lied under oath.

Well JackStraw , I read a Don Surber post that information is coming out through a Trump hired investigation, he posts a quote from Trump from earlier in the year where Trump states he has his lawyers looking into the people Mueller hired.
So the IG may not be the instigator of these revelations. Posted by: MAGA at December 08, 2017 06:45 AM (LnOh3) 784

Everything is starting to fall into place now.
Posted by: JackStraw at December 08, 2017 06:39 AM (/tuJf) That made me chuckle. Not because you're wrong. I trust your research. But there's something called 'paranoid illumination' which is when someone with paranoia ties all the pieces of the puzzle together and the light goes on in their brains. They're totally wrong, of course. I shouldn't chuckle at that. But if you've ever seen someone do it firsthand it is tough to not initially laugh.

Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at December 08, 2017 06:41 AM (XGGts) Seems to me that Roy Moore had a 19th-Century concept of courting and marriage. Waited until he became financially secure, and then "interviewed" prospective wife material in rather innocuous "dates". I suspect he wanted a virgin bride, and any gal who suggested putting out before marriage got red-penciled right away. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that the two "complainers" were either spurned by him, or turned him down, and are now angry about missing out on what could have been.

Frankly, after much consideration, I approve of the Moore plan for getting a wife. Hit on younger women until some bite, be above board with parents, and go through a lot of them until you find a winner.

Sure. I've seen people do it all the time. We call them liberals who were sure that Trump was a Russian agent and have been banging that drum for over a year. They were wrong and nothing they said ever came true. What I've been saying has been coming true. Posted by: JackStraw at December 08, 2017 06:52 AM (/tuJf) 791

I wouldn't surprise me if Roy Moore's accusers were initially contacted by someone from the Uniparty and paid for information; even paid to make an accusation. The presence of Gloria Allred is a key performance indicator. Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at December 08, 2017 06:54 AM (XGGts) 793

Posted by: JackStraw at December 08, 2017 06:52 AM (/tuJf) Today's latest illusion from the left is that in a speech (which I've seen on YouTube) Trump is clearly stroking out. He then proceeds to sign a document in about a 300 point signature -- that's about two inches in height. It doesn't work like that.

>>Do you really want the OIG leaking information?
Not leaking but someone is outing guys like Strzok and Ohr. They are being removed from positions where they can affect the investigation and put on ice. But I also think there is someone behind all of this running a counter op on the investigations from the inside. Posted by: JackStraw at December 08, 2017 06:57 AM (/tuJf) 797

Exactly. Never said it was the DOJ exclusively, The OIG is in charge of the investigation and I'm sure that office is finding lots of obvious stuff but I think they are being assisted from someone who has more access than anyone but the president over intel issues and has been there the entire time, hiding in plain sight. Posted by: JackStraw at December 08, 2017 07:02 AM (/tuJf) 803
JackStraw -
The possibility (read that as high likelihood) that someone is inside running a counter op is interesting in that it indicates there is known malfeasance and criminal activity yet no one in Congress could/would make hay with it. I suspect the fruits of Mueller, et al were beneficial to members from each side of the aisle and that's why no one has openly pursued it.

Hey-maybe Donald Trump-who is, after all, a 70 year old man was tired at the end of the Jerusalem speech? I slur my words sometimes and I'm not 70 with a schedule like that of Trump. ; I haven't had a stroke and am not drunk. It's because I'm tired and didn't get much sleep.
