ABC Fake News: John Ratcliffe Was Not Involved in the Holy Land Foundation Prosecution, Despite His Claims
US Attorney Who Prosecuted the HLF, But Was Never Contacted by ABC Fake News: Yes He Was.



It took Sean Davis just a few minutes to google the contact information for the former US attorney overseeing that prosecution and call him. And the guy called back promptly.

When asked if ABC had bothered contacting him, he said: "No."

Given that it's easy to find and contact this guy, and that he returns phone calls promptly, one wonders why ABC Fake News did not bother with the simple matter of contacting him themselves.

Are they lazy and incompetent, or did they fear that this key source would undermine the Democrat Talking Point from yesterday -- that Ratcliffe has no intelligence background -- and which the Fake News is obviously trying to support, because they attempt to support all Democrat political attacks?

34 Didn't get to add this in the previous thread, so let me just mention a couple of things the milk-chocolate messiah did during his 8-year reign of error...

1) Promised, and largely delivered, a "fundamental transformation" of the country
2) Openly violated the Constitution by writing and re-writing immigration, healthcare, and other policies that never saw legislative approval (or, in at least a couple of cases, were outright rejected by Congress)
3) Weaponized key agencies of the federal bureaucracy (IRS first, DOJ, FBI, and CIA later) against his political "enemies"
4) Urged his minions to "get in their faces", to "make them uncomfortable" to advance his agenda of fundamental transformation
Etc.

But yeah, it's Donald J Trump that's bringing us to the brink of Civil War.

Bullshit.

35 Stupid, lazy, and unconcerned with the truth.

My guess: they figured that they could just make the assertion because it suited their politics, and that by the time someone corrected it the correction would be irrelevant. The assertion would have passed into leftist folklore, much like the political parties reversing polarity in 1968, Oswald being hard right, women getting beaten up on Super Bowl Sunday, and 98% of women in college getting raped every night.

52 We have intelligence agencies that can't vet information. They think it's good enough that they can shrug their shoulders and turn to the camera and say "How were WE supposed to know that this could be Russian disinformation?"

And we have news organizations that don't bother with research. Twitchy had a story on earlier about how a Vox writer was saying that Trump had no proof that he was at Ground Zero on 9/11.

Turns out he was, because they could uncover reporters interviewing him about how things were going.

Posted by: Axeman at July 30, 2019 01:16 PM (DuZls)

53 Looks to me like the greatest risk to Ratcliffe being confirmed is Sen Richard Burr, who apparently doesn't like him very much. Now Burr hasn't said much publicly about his coming vote to confirm one way or the other, and I trust Trump and McConnell are working him pretty hard to make sure he won't cause trouble.

But it was a complicated case, with multiple defendants, and Ratcliffe was hired to focus his efforts only on a couple of them, and a potential juror bribery investigation. Since it was a terrorism investigation, much of it was not made public, and these defense lawyers would never have been told of Ratcliffe's role if they weren't representing one of the targets he was hired to focus on.

Voxed: to accuse someone of not being present

98 The founder of mythbusting website Snopes, which was recently tapped by Facebook as one of four "fact-check" organizations patrolling the site for "fake news," embezzled $98,000 in company funds before spending it on "himself and the prostitutes he hired," according to legal documents filed by his ex-wife reviewed by the Daily Mail.

After divorcing from his first wife, Barbara Mikkelson, David Mikkelson married Elyssa Young, a former porn star and current escort who now works for Snopes as an administrator, according to the Daily Mail.

100 >>Snopes Co-Founder Accused Of Embezzling Company Money, Spending It On Prostitutes


Can't be bothered to google it, but the Snopes people are messy - it was started by a couple, and then the husband had an affair with a prostitute, and they're now in some polyamorous threesome. . . or something.

Also, the young gal they hired to fact check political stories a few years ago is some Lefty feminist blogger chick with a thin resume.

These are weird people and they should not be taken seriously.

So many poor shlubs bought into the lease to own program when we had solar guys knocking on doors 24/7 10 years ago. Suddenly, they've got something that literally prevents them from selling their homes, as 95% of potential buyers don't want to take on a bunch of aging, shoddy Chinese crap in a monthly payment, or make the $20k buyout for said landfill.

Perfect example of programming - but all those bar and pie charts were so convincing! And I like blue and green.

112 Snopes' problem isn't that they can't be reliable or check things accurately, its that whenever there's any room for wiggle or interpretation they ALWAYS interpret the leftist narrative. They also engage in a lot of "if you are wrong in any one detail, then everything you said is wrong" stuff with some topics.

For example, Trump says "nobody wants to live there" about Baltimore. So the press ran out and found one person who said they loved living there. SEE? SEE? HE'S ALL WRONG!!!

I was late to the party on this in previous thread. There are different applications for solar- you guys covered grid-tied pretty well, but there are also isolated systems that charge batteries and are not connected to the grid in any way. The batteries can then run a house or shop via an inverter (think UPS). This is a distinctly different configuration than most of the residential grid-tied systems you see in urban areas.

We're in a huge agricultural area here - and it's getting mighty third world around these parts. If you don't know Spanish, you're already handicapped. It's weird to actually hear English in supermarkets.

Of course the media has painted him as a white supremacist, and we've got to take their word for it. Even if he is, is it any wonder why? For more on how it's working here - look up Morgan Hill/Live Oak High School regarding the racial tensions they've created.

I was looking into solar panels and, IIRC, my calculations put the cost per KwH at something around 40 cents initially (with me installing everything and the rosiest of weather forecasts for the next 10 years). Something like that, including battery life and all that shit for using 100% of the electricity in place. That is comparable with the cost of running a little generator for those few times when the electricity goes out for extended periods, but electricity off the grid is only around 8 cents/KwH, here.

I will still probably get a few panels some time in the near future (used ones for cheap) just for kicks. A little bit of everything ...

There are different applications for solar- you guys covered grid-tied pretty well, but there are also isolated systems that charge batteries and are not connected to the grid in any way. The batteries can then run a house or shop via an inverter (think UPS). This is a distinctly different configuration than most of the residential grid-tied systems you see in urban areas.

If and when the next generation of batteries meets the performance specs some are touting solar will absolutely make sense in a large number of cases. The only thing holding it back is storage.

Getting solar panels to run a water heater is idiotic. Getting them to supply a family of four in sunny SoCal, not so much.

Rest assured, I did the calculations carefully indeed. Even without rate increases - which occur all the time - our break-even point was seven years (i.e., next year). With rate increases, we probably broke a year ago. (I haven't checked.)

Note, too, that a distinction must be drawn between solar collectors designed to heat water for domestic use, or pools, and solar voltaic panels designed to generate electricity. The former can often be quite cost-effective, and should last a long time, if made of durable materials.

The latter are rarely cost-effective vs utility power, but can be useful for emergency power, provided you have DC appliances and lights, or suitable inverters.

the only way it makes financial sense for the purchaser is if there's a mandate that allows the homeowner to sell surplus power back to the grid at subsidized rates. Sounds good in theory, I think it was Spain that tried to implement that a few years ago. Had to overturn the rule when it turned out that the Electric Companies were going bankrupt, because clever people were installing solar panel banks, and then running diesel powered light plants all night to shine on them so they could force the Electric Company to purchase high-priced power 24 hours a day.

Makes sense. At 10 years I wouldn't have done it. At a guaranteed 25 years, it means 18 years of free power.

Interesting fact: the power company is required to buy the power we generate at the same rate they charge their customers. Now that's really fair, since they have to pay for all the infrastructure, whereas we do not, but that's CA law. As a consequence, now that our boys have left home for work and college, the power company actually pays US.

The pics I saw of her looked a ton hotter than any of those. They must have been publicity shots from early in her porn career or something. They were smokin'. Awesome rack.

In the rest of the pics I've seen she looks "meh" to "echhh".

245 The costs get borne by other consumers. To make matters worse, solar actually promotes grid instability, meaning you need the conventional power plants but can no longer keep them running all the time.
Posted by: Someguy at July 30, 2019 01:45 PM (FC8Ev)


True. Well, truish. The costs certainly get borne by other consumers. The conventional power plants still runs all the time, albeit probably at a lower level. OTOH, the peak demand for electricity is during the day because the inland areas get hotter than hell, and everyone has their AC blasting, so there's that.

I've always used gift cards here at AoSHQ to donate, and never had a problem before.

I usually use gift cards online while shopping, because I've had some bad experiences that led to my actual credit card being compromised and lots of stuff ordered on them before I could cancel, even if I canceled as soon as I found out. Which was usually when I'd get emails notifying me of my "purchase" of stuff I didn't order.

361 the only way it makes financial sense for the purchaser is if there's a mandate that allows the homeowner to sell surplus power back to the grid at subsidized rates. Sounds good in theory, I think it was Spain that tried to implement that a few years ago. Had to overturn the rule when it turned out that the Electric Companies were going bankrupt, because clever people were installing solar panel banks, and then running diesel powered light plants all night to shine on them so they could force the Electric Company to purchase high-priced power 24 hours a day.

It sounds like a plot line from some whacked out novel - but it really happened.
Posted by: Tom Servo at July 30, 2019 01:42 PM (Kpl3J)

Enviornmentals don't seem to understand how the grid works. Output always has to match demand. It's a super complicated system that keeps that happening, with base load generation, peaking power plants, load following power plants...

It's hard enough to keep all of that working as designed without a bunch of assholes dumping power in to the grid at unpredictable times that the electric company has to buy from people, even though it's often only marginally more expensive / much only a marginal amount of additional fuel to run a peaking power plant at 100% output instead of, say, 85% output.

congrats, that's cool, and I guess you get security of extra power in case of brown outs or worse. SW is much more efficient for sun days than midwest, but I still might get some. We had the eco-nuts shut down our Meradosia coal plant ... but electric is only 12 cents, not 40 for daytime.


The grid tie thing can make the numbers work much better than using batteries. The off grid cost of batteries alone is probably 20 cents / kWh. I mostly like the idea of having power in a grid down situation ... kinda a prepper insurance thang. I could grid tie but they want more insurance and I'd lose my heat pump discount ... so will run it completely independent, a couple batteries but mostly for daytime use.


Sure the ideal is pure nuke power in refrigerator size boxes secured under concrete in every small town (wasn't Bill Gates working on that?) ... but instead they are closing plants and bagging cow farts ... No one expects the AOC inquisition. ha

I don't know any girls who always use condoms.

I mean, many might claim they do, but... In fact, the last few girls I hooked up with seemed surprised when I pulled out a condom. Like "oh, right, that's probably a good idea."

395 A lot of people have solar water heaters in Hawaii because there's no natural gas and electricity is expensive.

Usually just a black box on the roof with pipes going through it. They would usually still have a regular water heater to get it the final temperature.

it was a good concept

there's nothing brag worthy for a female in getting laid. it's incredibly easy for us to get boinked. what on earth would be the point of "bragging" about that?

it's like bragging about eating a bag of chips

I'll pet them and tell them that they're good boys and that "snitches get scritches."

The funny part is that that's kind of true: the working fluid here, electrons, is not generated or destroyed, but merely raised in potential at the power plant and then lowered in potential at the load.

But I'd tremble to try to explain that to a lot of people, who doubtless would fail to understand the point.

I had solar hot water in Masswatuchetts 30 years ago - it was 3 black panels with black aluminum heatsink type vanes in it and a pump that circulated the water up into the panels and back into the tank.In winter we got a boost to 90 degrees F that we didn't have to heat up to for hot water. In summer I could shut the oil water heater off (forced hot water heating in the house). The only bad part was it didn't have a motor cut off and it would start cycling as soon as the sun came up even on a shitty cloudy day.

420 a good use of solar is solar thermal ... collecting heat, without making electricity. Useful for water or a whole house. The current solar panels are more efficient and last longer, with warranty ... 25 years, supposedly 80% of the power, degrades in linear timeline ... like 1%/year.


about 60 cents per watt ... used to be much more, and that is not counting the "subsidy" which is 30% still this year I think, off federal taxes if you pay those.

426 Not to wax too poetic about it all, but I've made love thousands of times, all but perhaps a handful of which were in the context of marriage or a committed relationship, and with only a handful of women.
Looking back on it all, I don't feel like I missed anything that I regret, despite starting "late" and sometimes going "long" periods without.
The satisfaction added to that part of my life, by it's having being shared on each occasion with someone who also shared in my whole life, seems easily to outweigh any immediate physical satisfactions foregone.
