The Morning Rant
First we were told Trump broke campaign finance law. That was a dud. Next came “quid pro quo” for defense money. That was false. Then Democrats rolled out “bribery” because it polled well. That fizzled.

Today’s “high crime?” Trump didn’t give a foreigner a meeting at the WH.

If you could include the words “prayer request” in the subject of the email, that will help me distinguish it from spam emails. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, please feel free to copy and paste it and email it to me.
Updates and new requests: 10/23 - HB requests prayers for “Tikvah” for healing from serious infection of diabetic foot wounds. 10/24 - Cybersmythe requests prayers for his son, who is scheduled to have brain surgery on November 20 to ease his seizures. 10/30 - BW requests prayers for Officer Urbano Rodriguez Jr of the Denton Police Department in Texas.

Please include the grandchildren as well. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after five weeks or so unless we receive an update. This in NOT because we don’t care; It’s simply because of lack of space. Updates as well as thanks for answered prayer and new prayer requests are always welcome. Please feel free to copy requests which you see on the board and send them to apaslo@hotmail.com. I won’t know unless someone tells me! Thank you and God bless!

The Big Guy never talked talked to his EU Ambassador about a quid-pro-quo. In fact, he explicitly *denied* and desire in that regard.
But then, based on the rumor chamber that is DC and diplomatic corps, Sondland came to believe not what he was directly told by his boss but instead what he was told by others his boss purportedly said to him.
That is weak-minded and weak-spined. No one like that should be an Ambassador to anything.

Just sent a note off to our local rag.
The lead story on page 2 was a snotty "journalism" piece from the AP about Vindman standing tall and insisting on being addressed by his rank. So I pointed out that, in our democratic republic, any civilian outranks a military officer and we can call the fucker "Vindman" or even "Lying Hack Loyal to the Deep State" if we want.
The bastard ought to be court martialed. Instead, he'll probably get a promotion.

What I find amusing about Anna Karenina is that many women read it in college (including my wife who recommended it to me). Occasionally the subject comes up when discussing books (not something I often do but this one was a fav), I like to point out that Tolstoy was on record as saying he conceived of Anna as a fallen woman not, as was becoming the thing with the rise of communism, as a heroine. Some women who read it in college want to argue with me about it, but I'm always impressed by the women who did not know this and I get to see the lights come on. Many felt the exact same way as Tolstoy but were intimidated by their teachers to believe that they were wrong.
Posted by: WTP at November 20, 2019 11:08 AM (66rlH)
It takes a certain level of obtuseness, regularly found at the old folks home called kollidge, to consider Anna a heroine. Tolstoy was quite a cockster as a young man; doubtlessly he banged a few Anna types and, once he'd extricated himself, thought "maybe I should write a book about a grasping skeezer".

That is the biggest thing I have gotten from this farce. People like me and many others here have always asserted that the Deep State - that is, the permanent bureaucratic/diplomatic/administrative corps - believes that they are entitled to run the country as they see fit and view the citizens as, at best, an irrelevance or, more generally, they view them with contempt.
They finally said it themselves. In congress. Under oath. On national television.

NEW: @VP's office strongly denies Sondland ever talked aid w/Pence.
"The Vice President never had a conversation with Gordon Sondland about investigating the Bidens, Burisma, or the conditional release of financial aid to Ukraine based upon potential investigations."
"Ambassador Gordon Sondland was never alone with Vice President Pence on the September 1 trip to Poland. This alleged discussion recalled by Ambassador Sondland never happened," says @VP's chief of staff, Marc Short.

I heard on Rush or Levin or somewhere that when Obama came in, he fired the entire diplomatic corp. All of them were gone and although they could reapply, he ended up putting the clowns we see today in place because they were of like mind. Then , the rules to fire these people were changed so the next president could not do the same. I only heard part of the discussion, so don't know the details, but that is why we have Obama loyalists still in place, helping to reinforce the resistance.

Sadly, the LIV aren't getting that.
I caught the today show first 5 minutes on the way out the door, where they were talking about the hearings yesterday.
the entire vindaloo segment was about his service, his patriotism, his letter to his dad, and how brave he was for coming forward and telling the truth - despite the "danger" to himself.
there was 0, Zero, NADA, ZILCH, about any actual substantive testimony he may have had yesterday.
that was the ENTIRE takeaway - a "patriot" risked his life to come testify in front of the congress of his fathers adopted homeland.

So you have the President of The US saying there was no QPQ.

Years ago, I read a book called Literature Lost about the decline of literature and English teaching in high school and college. His theory was (in addition to just stupid, lazy teachers) that teachers just got bored teaching the same things, even if those things were effective. So they played with lit classes in cereal box writing or sight reading or whatever in an attempt to do something new and different.
It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case with the drag queen story hours -- it's different, it's "edgy," it gives bored and stupid librarians something to chatter about.

Bill Mauldin when he was out-processing to finally go home from Italy in WWII. "Downy-cheeked fugitive from a junior internship" giving him an interview asking about how he got a Purple Heart. LT asks if he had regained full use of his arm and hand.
Mauldin goes "Huh?"
LT, "It says here gunshot wound right shoulder."
Mauldin, "Oh, no I never lost use of my arm or shoulder."
Goes on about hospitalization and scar. Mauldin says no to either. Now the LT is shocked that he got a Purple Heart.
So another voice in the line pipes up after losing his temper, a guy who has obviously been stitched together after getting shot in the gut. "Christ lieutenant, he didn't make the rules! We take what we are given and do what we're told!"

I agree on Trump. I do not agree on the Republicans.
Had Ryan and his caucus spent two years legislating in accordance with the will of their constituents and ideally in a way that furthered the president's agenda instead of spending that time impeding progress and playing little games in back rooms, the Dems wouldn't hold the house and all of the relevant committees.

If the Dims win in 2020, it'll get hot simply because they'll crash the economy so hard it'll pop out in China.
And then, there's their brilliant idea to seize all 401K, etc for "fairness", which they wanted since the first weeks of Oblabla, so that's coming.
Between those two things, there will be a lot of people looking for them to...uh...take responsibility.
They won't want that. It'll probably split the military and then it is on.
Sad.
But that appears what they want.
If Trump wins, they'll still try to wreck the economy.

it also makes it a class 6 felony to posses an "assault weapon" as defined.
and any long gun that has a detachable mag and any number of common attachments qualifies.
or a shotgun that holds more than 7 rounds.

He didn't, really.
He asked for an investigation into Ukraine's involvement in the 2016 election.
The Biden thing is/was something that was on the margins of that investigation. The fact that he pointed that out is meaningless.
There was NO detail in the conversation.
Merely a mention of the Biden / Biden's Son thing, in passing.

requirements should be clear. I think overall that is still the case as I

saying the shady stuff did not happen over the decades and wars, but I
think they may be overstated at times for whatever reason.
It is
true that military award requirements seem to differ by war, era, and
even service. At Gettysburg, in three days, 64 people earned the Medal
of Honor. No one doubts the sacrifices there, but we can go many wars

Former national security adviser Michael Anton suggested Wednesday the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump looks "like an inside job" lawmakers unhappy with the president manufactured.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff interrupted Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's testimony during an impeachment hearing Tuesday and cited an effort to protect a whistleblower.
"It looks like an inside job of a bunch of career bureaucrats getting together and saying, 'We've wanted to impeach this guy for three years. How do we do it? Oh wait, I think we've found a way,'" Anton, a former National Security Council (NSC) spokesman, said to WMAL's "Mornings on the Mall" co-hosts Vince Coglianese and Mary Walter Wednesday. "Here's the issue."
"It just looks phony, and that's what they're trying to avoid coming out," he added.

I am not up to getting into the detail here at this time. But there seems to be two different types of Bronze Stars these days. Way back when, it was considered just below the Silver Starr, which is just below the Medal of Honor. But there seems to be a new, non combat V type of bronze star. That is too bad as it only diminishes the medal. If someone earned it fair and square that is fine. But the impression many have about the Bronze Star is it is for valor in combat and only below two other medals of valor.
The purple heart is no bronze star. If certain services want to expand the issuance of bronze stars that is fine. But you can't expand the Purple Heart. Getting shot is getting shot.

the error could be on my side. Even a quick check shows that the award was not originally given for specific valorous acts. The combat V award is the one I recall that people had to do a hell of a lot for. Again. I am not disrespecting anyone who earned a medal. But yeah, there have been a hell of a lot of Bronze Stars issued. Lots of dead guys never got one. That is all I am going to say about it.

We'll see which side of this moral divide wins in the end.

Very likely, and a constellation of other affiliates. Atlantic Council and ANTAC are probably on the list.
Freaking Soros. Naming his organization designed to squeeze graft out of Ukraine via influence peddling the "Anticorruption Action Center" is downright Orwellian.

611 585 The LGBT community are often frenemies with each other, not allies.
They have a tenuous partnership. I always find it fascinating when the
seams in that alliance openly start tearing.
The "T" was added only during TFGs reign of error. Even the LGB folk know mental illness when they see it.

It is true that military award requirements seem to differ by war, era, and even service. At Gettysburg, in three days, 64 people earned the Medal of Honor. No one doubts the sacrifices there, but we can go many wars without that many awarded.
I am not saying bad purple hearts have not been issued, they likely were. But I am saying most deserved it and the medal should never be diminished in any way. Many had their physical lives changed forever for that piece of ribbon.
Posted by: Quint at November 20, 2019 12:36 PM (n13/j)
So true about many people's physical lives changed forever for their Purple Heart.
My grandpa was badly wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a scout with the 25th cavalry - I think. All I know is he got shrapnel in his arm, head, and back, and was in a hospital in England for a few months.
Once or twice he mentioned he received a Purple Heart.
But he never talked about what is was like being in that battle. One can only imagine how horrendous it must have been.
It's maddening when some arrogrant SOB like Lt Colonel Lardass cheapens it.

The G's too, if they don't like a dude without a wang.
The B's are considered lazy and wanting it both ways, and disliked by both G's and L's. Which is really hurtful to the friends that I have that are bi.
And yes, T's are disliked by LGBs. But they are all in the same car, as Chapelle said, and have to get along for now even if they hate each other.

QEII doesn't say a lot in public.
But you know she's fuming like mad over Randy Andy's latest peccadillo, and she's given him an old-fashioned dressing-down.
She seems like the only reason just about any miscreant in the British Royal Family will temper his or her behavior.
If Charles doesn't completely wreck things after the Queen passes. the only hope that monarchy has - tenuous as it is - will be William and Kate. And that's not saying a whole lot, IMHO.

Repeat an an infinity loop forever and that is civilization in a nutshell. America is in the "good times create weak men" stage of this cycle, bleeding into the next stage.

The actual name of the procedure is quite a few latinate words. This is one of those procedures where they don't ask you to tell them what you are having done because nobody can remember its name. Instead, you try to describe it and they go "close enough."

This notion confuses me. Not even necessarily the drag queens part - that's just revolting and evil - but the group storytime thing.
Is this really common? It is something I didn't experience and I am not that old. I had some group story times in kindergarten and group reading exercises in first grade.
Beyond that, every story time was with mom or dad (usually dad) and rarely with my older brother reading to me.
The idea of schlepping out of the house to a group story time somewhere else is totally outside of my experience. I didn't even know this kind of thing existed until the drag queens got involved.
