Lee Smith: Hillary Clinton Paid to Have Her Personal Conspiracy Theory Made Into Official US National Security Policy, and The Entire Nation Has Been Forced to Live Inside the Sick Imaginings of a Paranoiac for Three Years
Smith talks about his new book with Maria Bartiromo.
I downloaded his book, The Plot Against the President, yesterday but haven't started reading it yet. It's the #1 Amazon Best Seller in books. A correspondent writes,He literally goes through the early drafts of "the dossier" and links specific media stories (leaks) to the "dossier" sentences...As a friend in the military/security world told me from the beginning: "It's an op. It's obviously an op. I know it's an op because I used to be one of the guys running this kind of an op." Meanwhile, Trump posted an obvious (and funny) photoshop of the hero Delta Force Dog. The media and NeverTrump reacted with maturity, sobriety, and an unequaled sense of proportion and coolness of temper, as we have come to expect.

There was no such canine event on today's @POTUS schedule but there is a Medal of Honor ceremony set here for later today for an active duty Green Beret. https://t.co/NESINT9J4b
The Margaret Dumont Appreciation Society, Cosplay Conservative Wing, has decided that this silly photoshop is actually a terrible insult to the man who was actually given the award in the real picture. This is Jeryl Bier, an extremely pathetic Beta Orbiter always trying to get his Senpai -- The Bulwark -- to notice him.

RE the dog photoshop --Seriously, this goes back to what I was saying the other day about NeverTrumpers being humorless scolds. On top of having no sense of humor, they're just not all that bright. You see this over and over and over again.Yes, they're SJWs. SJWs are known for being humorless scolds who are stupid and obsessive. They're literally a bunch of nasty, venomous old ladies constantly shrieking about #MuhPropriety and #MuhScandalizedSensibilities and #MuhStarsandGarters. Their T-levels are in the single digits -- beneath that of even the BuzzFeed "boys." Exactly, Buzz:

Their entire political effort is predicated on the idea that they are intellectually and morally superior, thus they have a right to rule.

A few people that try to testify to Mueller or others were rejected, cuz it is Mueller and DeepState running the damn ops, if the true whistle blowers get to vocal, they have to incarcerate or kill them. imo, Rosenstein also was 'influenced' ... the book notes how Nunes came under full (influence operation imo) pressure when he did his announcement, and they (DS) hence put him under investigation, and he was sidelined for a little while.

New Yorkers swim in an absolute sea of hyperbole. I used to live in a place with more New York transplants than locals. Everyone understands them, they are not a literal people.
DC, being the seat of governance, thus housing the huge ass of bureaucracy, is full of pedantic fuckwits who obsess about linguistic and paperwork precision in all things
You'd think DC would be able to talk to New Yorkers, what with how close they are, geographically.
New Yorkers actually have more in common with Southerners (aside from their bizarre politics).

The MSM is not being dumb when it does these fact checks, they are weaponizing fact-checking to declare someone/some entity (e.g. Babylon Bee) "fake news" --- and fake news is used by facebook and other sites as cause to hide and/or deplatform.
They will try to say that Trump "lies" on twitter, so he needs his account de-boosted, or his funny tweets hidden, etc.

Ace-
Merriam Webster give etymology of fusilli as Italian for spindle, a device for twisting yarn into a spiral configuration
and the etymology of fusillade from the Fr. for a volley or barrage of musket fire, no mention of rifling.
FYI
Posted by: Muldoon at October 30, 2019 03:12 PM (mvenn)
And the EU would never allow this kind of thing to happen! Those words should be distinct and not sound alike because of the confusion it causes people like me who want to know what the root words for Fusilli are!

yeah, here's the etymology of the word fusil:
late 16th century (denoting a flint in a tinderbox): from French, based on Latin focus "hearth, fire"
I had no idea that's what "focus" meant.
But the word does now mean "rifle" in french. I just can't imagine that "fusilli" does not derive from the rifle, given that the characteristic shape of both is the spiral.
A rifle without a spiral is just a smoothbore and not a rifle.
A fusilli without a spiral is just a noodle.
they can't NOT be related.

Fuselage- borrowed from French, from fuselé "spindle-shaped"

The new flintlocks were especially useful for troops assigned to guard artillery because there was minimal danger of a flintlock's spark setting fire to open barrels of gunpowder used by artillery (before extending the prepacked 'cartridge' idea to cannon-shot as had been done with muskets) contrasted with matchlocks' smoldering matches.
It's very interesting though that even though these weapons were all smoothbores (for the most part) that "fusilli" has to do rifling too.

Posted by: ace at October 30, 2019 03:22 PM (PbpT7)
Not till well after Fusiliers were well established as a unit type.
The 'Prussians' called their rifleman Jagers - hunter.
Line infantry had cheap smooth bores because loading a rifle was "complicated" and it cost more to produce rifled weapons than smoothbores.
"Specialist" troops carried them, the French Napoleonic troops, not at all.

I recall reading that several rifles have been found/dug up on civil war battlefields that had 6 or 7 balls in the barrel. The belief is that the battle was so loud that the infantryman never realized his gun wasn't firing, and he kept reloading in battle even though he was just pounding in one ball of top of another.

And Frederick the Great's fusilier regiments, contrasted with the musketeer regiments and the standing grenadier battalions, were formed later from less-impressive recruits and were named "fusiliers" and given metal "mitre caps" a bit like the grenadiers' mitre caps as a morale-booster and in an attempt to deceive opponents that they were facing good-quality infantry.

It's entirely possible that those soldiers weren't capping. The ordnance surveyors who recovered rifles at Gettysburg found one with 20 charges rammed down the barrel.
As for not noticing that the gun has discharged, that has happened to me (and others) at reenactment battles. A 60gr blank charge doesn't have noticeable recoil, and if the cap misfires (which is what happened to me), you might not notice the flash from the barrel with all the noise and confusion. And that's even without all the death and blood.

That with the old smoothbores, even 'aimed' fire was complete chance whether it would hit someone or not so you weren't guilty of murder shooting them; but with aimed fire from a rifle being so much more accurate, that they thought it was the same as a deliberate killing.

How they know Trump has never owned a pet is beyond me. And I will say, I admire Trump for not forcing some little Yorkie or some big Labrador to live in a high rise in NYC , where the help would either have to walk him or he would have to crap on pads in the laundry room, getting scolded if he missed. All while Trump and family were traveling.
