"I'm no good with secrets. I cannot walk around with it any more 'cause it's like I'm running out of excuses, you know?" Ozzy Osbourne
Quote II
“Now think about that for a moment. ‘Executive privilege and other nonsense.’ Mr. Nadler, it is not ‘nonsense.’ These are privileges recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States. And to shred the Constitution, on the floor of the Senate. To serve what purpose? The Senate is not on trial. The Constitution doesn’t allow what just took place. Look what we’ve dealt with for the last, now 13 hours. And we hopefully are closing the proceedings, but not on a very high note.” Jay Sekulow
Quote III
The Davos Crowd and their vast armies of apparatchiks, toadies, apologists and technocrat flunkies don't understand why we would cheer their teleportation to a distant moon. Their right to rule (droit de seigneur) is so obvious and well, just so right that those doubting it must be sadly delusional. Charles Hugh Smith
Quote IV
Still, Americans seem to disagree with each other more and to dislike each other more than they have in the lifetime of most of us. One wonders: How does it all stay together? And for how long?Patrick J. Buchanan

No offense to New Jersey Morons and a certain Cob. Reason #1,984 not to live in the State of New Jersey.
Well, it seems the state is banning “realistic” toy guns. Governor Murphy signed a bill on Tuesday that would restrict the sale of realistic toy guns and ammunition, in response to the fatal police shootings of Tamir Rice and Tyre King several years ago. … The bill has several stipulations for toy gun manufacturers, which say toy guns cannot be blue, black, silver, or aluminum, the barrel of the gun must have an orange stripe on it, and the barrel of the gun must be made with the same material as the rest of the toy gun.

Please pass the popcorn. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard sues Hillary Clinton for
2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard filed a defamation suit against failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Gabbard filed the lawsuit over comments Hillary made in October 2019 on the Campaign HQ With David Plouffe podcast: She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. And, that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset.
It's good to see the United Nations in a huff about something other than 'Climate Change'. Looks like they are all huffy at Saudi Arabia.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — U.N. experts on Wednesday called for an immediate investigation into the “possible involvement” of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the hacking of Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos’ iPhone in 2018. “The alleged hacking of Mr. Bezos’s phone, and those of others, demands immediate investigation by U.S. and other relevant authorities, including investigation of the continuous, multi-year, direct and personal involvement of the Crown Prince in efforts to target perceived opponents,” U.N. experts said in a statement. “The information we have received suggests the possible involvement of the Crown Prince in surveillance of Mr. Bezos, in an effort to influence, if not silence, The Washington Post’s reporting on Saudi Arabia.”
As Rush Limbaugh once said, "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society." He nailed it. I wonder if he had Pam Keith, a verified Democrat on Twitter, who ran for Congress in Florida in mind?
Legislators in Olympia have introduced some alarming “Trojan Horse” bills to raise our taxes that you’re not going to hear about this anywhere else. As the name implies, a Trojan horse bill seeks to hide a piece of potentially controversial legislation under the guise of legislation that sounds more agreeable to all involved. Bills like the ones I’m about to tell you about are just another example of why our tax tabs are so high. My thanks to listener Mark in Port Orchard for this awesome tip.
Senate Bill 5130 purports to be about raising revenue to remove state fish barriers. The bill writers maintain that this would help save the salmon, which in turn helps save the orcas. It sounds good, right? But then you go down a ways in this bill and learn that they want to raise the money by charging an excise tax on every real estate sale — thousands of dollars when you sell your home. Alright, but it’s for the good of the salmon, isn’t it? Read down a little further. I know it’s a little wonky, but no one else covers this, and you need to know what is truly going on in Olympia this Legislative session. What is the Legislature going to do with all the money raised from the real estate excise tax? It will go toward helping the salmon, right? Wrong. Here is how it will be spent: 2 percent to a public works assistance account
4.1 percent to an education legacy trust account
1.6 percent to a city-county assistance account
16.7 percent to the motor vehicle fund
75.4 percent to the general fund — where it can be spent on whatever the Legislature wants I did not see anything in there about funding the removal of salmon barriers; that’s only in the title of the bill. If the legislators — and the constituents — don’t bother to read the contents of the bill, they will be none the wiser. And the truth is, the majority of that money is just going to the general fund to be blown.
Coca-Cola hasn't gone completely woke. Yet. They still plan on using evil plastic for their bottles.
Coca-Cola says it has no plans to stop using single-use plastic bottles. Speaking with the BBC at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Bea Perez, Coca-Cola's senior vice president for sustainability and public affairs, said the company wouldn't ditch the bottles because consumers still wanted to use them. "Business won't be in business if we don't accommodate consumers," she said. "So as we change our bottling infrastructure, move into recycling and innovate, we also have to show the consumer what the opportunities are. They will change with us."
COTTAGE GROVE, Minn. (AP) — A struggling Minnesota church is asking its older parishioners to leave in hopes of making it more attractive to young families. Grove United Methodist Church in the St. Paul suburb of Cottage Grove is closing in June, with plans to relaunch in November. The present members, most of them over 60 years old, will be invited to worship elsewhere, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. The church is asking that they stay away for two years, then consult the pastor about reapplying. “I pray for this church, getting through this age-discrimination thing,” William Gackstetter said at church on a recent Sunday as the gray-haired heads around him nodded in agreement. But church officials said the congregation needs a reset and the best way is to appeal to younger people. The Grove United Methodist Church is the product of a 2008 merger with a larger church in Woodbury
A Denver Post columnist says he was fired after disputing the idea that there are more than two sexes. Jon Caldara, president of the libertarian Independence Institute, announced that he has been fired from the Post, chalking it up to "a difference in style" that his editors found "too insensitive." "My column is not a soft voiced, sticky sweet NPR-styled piece which employs the language now mandated by the victim-centric, identity politics driven media," he said in a Facebook post. "What seemed to be the last straw for my column was my insistence that there are only two sexes and my frustration that to be inclusive of the transgendered (even that word isn’t allowed) we must lose our right to free speech."

Monty Python's Terry Jones RIP
Monty Python star Terry Jones has died at the age of 77, his agent has said. Jones was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2016. A statement released by his family said: “We are deeply saddened to have to announce the passing of beloved husband and father, Terry Jones. “Terry passed away on the evening of 21 January 2020 with his wife Anna Soderstrom by his side after a long, extremely brave but always good humoured battle with a rare form of dementia, FTD.”
So, according to the UN I can be an illegal immigrant to Fiji then. I would be a climate refugee.
This judgement has implications for US border control, as unskilled illegal immigrants who attempt to enter the USA are starting to claim they are really climate refugees. Climate refugees can’t be returned home, says landmark UN human rights ruling Experts say judgment is ‘tipping point’ that opens the door to climate crisis claims for protection It is unlawful for governments to return people to countries where their lives might be threatened by the climate crisis, a landmark ruling by the United Nations human rights committee has found.What utter Bull Shit.
In the wake of the Virginia gun rights rally on Monday, Democrats in the Capitol are not slowing down their push for tyranny. They are moving a bill through the legislature that would effectively criminalize dissent against Governor Blackface Northam and other state government officials. House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.”

The ONT Is Always Looking Out For YouTM
Everything you wanted to know about brewing a better cup of espresso but were afraid to ask.
Skilled baristas know that achieving the perfect complex flavor profile for a delectable shot of espresso is as much art as science. Get it wrong, and the resulting espresso can taste too bitter or sourly acidic rather than being a perfect mix of each. Now, as outlined in a new paper in the journal Matter, an international team of scientists has devised a mathematical model for brewing the perfect cup, over and over, while minimizing waste. "A good espresso beverage can be made in a multitude of ways," said co-author Christopher Hendon, a computational chemist at the University of Oregon. "The point of this paper was to give people a map for making an espresso beverage that they like and then be able to make it 100 times in a row."

English bass guitar player Pete Overend Watts and founding member of the 1970s rock band, Mott the Hoople died from throat cancer aged 69. Watts helped start the Buddies with guitarist Mick Ralphs, a band that evolved into Mott the Hoople after periods in which it was known as the Doc Thomas Group, the Shakedown Sound, then Silence. They became Mott the Hoople after Ian Hunter joined in 1969. Watts continued with Dale Griffin, Morgan Fisher and Ray Major in the Mott successor British Lions. He later became a record producer, producing albums for artists including Hanoi Rocks and Dumb Blondes. via thisdayinmusic.com
A homeless man was rescued from inside the hopper of a garbage truck after the dumpster he was sleeping in was emptied into the vehicle, South Carolina police report. According to Myrtle Beach cops, Mark Mencini, 62, yesterday morning “had been in a dumpster and when the truck picked up the dumpster, he had become trapped in the trash compartment.” Around 4:20 AM, officers responded to a 911 call from a witness who was near a T.J. Maxx store. The caller told police dispatchers that he “heard someone yelling for help from the truck’s trash compartment.”
Many of us here on The ONT have said "F*ck Cancer" over the years. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Researchers at Cardiff University have discovered a new type of killer T-cell that offers hope of a “one-size-fits-all” cancer therapy. T-cell therapies for cancer—where immune cells are removed, modified and returned to the patient’s blood to seek and destroy cancer cells—are the latest paradigm in cancer treatments. The most widely-used therapy, known as CAR-T, is personalized to each patient, but it only targets a few types of cancers and has not been successful for solid tumors, which make up the vast majority of cancers.
I'm sick and tired of politicians. I'm sick and tired of "Impeachment". I'm sick and tired of our forces being stuck in the Middle East. I'm sick and tired of most of the current events. I found this today and for just a brief moment my faith in mankind was restored. Until some scold laments about it.
A neat way to finish The ONT tonight.

Yeah, but only because the guaranteed vote to dismiss DID NOT pass. Otherwise, it wouldn't even have been a trial.
The House manglers keep demanding the Senate cannot choose the option that the Clinton proceedings left to them.
And on top of that, Schiff called the idea of giving into Trump's terms on the House proceedings "Trump running the impeachment". How is it much different Nancy Pelosi demanding terms, and the House demanding that the Senate's duty is to run the Senate proceedings the way the House manglers want.
The President has a *power* of veto--not a *charge* to veto. The House has the *power* to impeach--not the *duty* to impeach. The Senate was given the SOLE. POWER. TO. TRY. along with other *powers* it does not make it a *duty* to exercise that.

There are already laws on the books about threats and harassment. It has never been Constitutional free speech to do that. What does this bill bring to the table that isn't already Virginia and Federal law?

This is a great subject to argue. I think people realized that in order to try to overcome the ferocious firepower of the weapons, they needed mobility rather than trying to get bogged down in either attacking a fortified line, or having to fall back and wait for the enemy to attack your fortified line.
Which is why I think cavalry still had such a large role (or tried to make it play) in military thinking.
Technology had advanced to a point where infantry were very, very screwed, but had not advanced to a point where they were unscrewed (tanks and mechanized personnel carriers.)

Razorfisk -language warning. Heh. Had a relative in a school for kids with probs. They had a stage show. One kid with Tourette's was told he couldn't be on stage if he cursed. Held it in, struggling like a gal in a long line for the bathroom, through all the show, the final song and dance, then after the final bow, burst out with "F*** YOOOU!"
An audience of parents & friends of those kids was appreciative and amused.

This is a great subject to argue. I think people realized that in
order to try to overcome the ferocious firepower of the weapons, they
needed mobility rather than trying to get bogged down in either
attacking a fortified line, or having to fall back and wait for the
enemy to attack your fortified line.
Which is why I think cavalry still had such a large role (or tried to make it play) in military thinking.
Technology had advanced to a point where infantry were very, very
screwed, but had not advanced to a point where they were unscrewed
(tanks and mechanized personnel carriers.)
Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at January 22, 2020 10:09 PM (2B9A/)
It is endlessly complicated and i am glad you brought it up. I can reccommend the Hess book if you want to delve into it further.
There is no way to argue that the weaponry outpaced the tactics as that is s consistent theme in warfare. Someone comes up with a new weapon, and only later does the opponent have to come up with a way to defend against it.
But what bothers me is most people today look at those who "dressed in the same colored suites, in a line, and fired by volley, as somehow quaint and at worst idiots. The history is much more complicated. Just as an example, these people could not use modern fire and maneuver because they did not have radio technology. They needed the troops to be in live so they could control them. And the fire these people put down was from hell, they knew what they were doing.
The Civil War lasted over four bloody years. If the casualties were lower, would that mean it would have lasted longer? I also came at this with the idea these guys were clueless. But I cam to my own conclusion that it was was much nuanced really. What it really comes down to is whether you think people from the 21st century know better than people from the 19th century did on how to conduct a war.
Again, I am not taking shots. I used to believe they were clueless not that long ago. But something about that bothered me. These guys served in the Mexican War. These guys went to West Point. For sure the technology advanced ahead of the tactics, but they did adjust their tactics.
If you look at the Civil War lines in 1865, they look a lot like the trenches of WW1.,
The real thing that changed warfare was the radio. When you could communication from places you could not see, it changed artillery and everything. Fire and maneuver really only came about when an individual could lay down massive fire on his own.
Again, i don't have all the answers, I am just giving you what I have learned. This is an amazing subject and well worth discussion. No doubt the Civil War would be about the worst war possible to be involved in as an American.

Black Betty was a song from old negro hymns, and first recorded by "Lead Belly" Ledbetter in 1939, but earlier versions are noted to exist.
The words to Black Betty are rather, um, suggestive to describing a certain type of woman.
By far and away, the Tom Jones version recorded in 2002 confirms this.
And to think that in June, Tom Jones, excuse me, Sir Tom Jones, will turn 80.

The infantry used to deride the cavalry as Chicken thieves. No doubt the infantry won battles in the end. But Cavalry had their place for sure. The artillery did their thing as well. In the end, to hold a place, you needed infantry.
The cavalry on both sides did major damage, that can not be challenged. And Hunt's artillery alone at Gettsyburg did as much to win a battle as any other arm.

right, as was done at Gettysburg, cavalry put you in a position of advantage. People argue on an on about frontal assaults but no Civil War leader ever wanted to lead a frontal assault. A frontal assault meant your maneuver did not work. But on both sides they led them. And the funny thing is, Gettysburg aside, many of them worked.

IIRC, in 1864, Union officer Emory Upton got permission to attack a rebel trench at Spotsylvania with a dense column rather than the typical line abreast formation. The initial column formation breached the rebel defense line, but the follow-up troops got lost or misunderstood orders and didn't follow. The rebels were then able to contain the breach and eventually forced the bluecoats to retreat. The Army of the Potomac command never really understood the whole thing, and I don't believe the column attack was used again, except maybe in the Battle of the Crater, Petersburg.
As in WW1, the higher commanders in most Civil War corps and armies were not highly imaginative or receptive to tactical innovations.

communication from places you could not see, it changed artillery and
everything. Fire and maneuver really only came about when an individual
could lay down massive fire on his own."
I agree. If you look at WWI, the key element is the fact that the powers-that-be had the power to put millions of men into motion, but not the power to maneuver or stop them: once the machine was turned on, it had to run until it succeeded or broke down.
The Somme is a classic example: hundreds of thousands of men set into motion, all moving to a plan that could not be adjusted. The only communication they had were runners or telephones - and the latter were almost always knocked out by shell fire. So, the timetable could not be adjusted for the fact that heavy rains had made no-man's-land a quagmire. Now, I will blame the generals for their blunder with wire: they assumed that HE would blow the wire apart, but instead it simply tumbled the wire into an impenetrable mass. They should have tested HE on wire to see what happens, rather than just guessing. That careless blunder cost a lot of brave men their lives.

THIS is almost as interesting a discussion as tactics vs equipment.
Both suck pretty hard, but I think I would rather be in the Civil War than WWI. You have the same thing as the civil war, but staying on the same ground (at least on the Western front.) Add Mr Maxim's invention. Add miserable trenches. Less mobility. Gas. Slightly better medical care.

maneuver did not work. But on both sides they led them. And the funny
thing is, Gettysburg aside, many of them worked."
Really? Fredericksburg worked? (And by the way, Burnside *chose* that assault, and got his men slaughtered by the thousands.) Cold Harbor worked? The Crater worked? Vicksburg worked? Off the top of my head, the only frontal assault that actually worked was Missionary Ridge - and that was an accident.

Nor did the Europeans ( who had many military observers) understand that The American Civil War was the first modern, industrial war with some technology.
Everything that happened on the Western Front 1914-1917 was clearly visible in 1864.
Posted by: Miklos, actual SCV at January 22, 2020 10:35 PM (QzkSJ)
The un-learned major lesson from the Civil War was that it's extremely difficult for approximately equal-sized infantry units, in contact, to get around one another's flanks in time to gain a significant tactical advantage. Good cavalry screens on the flanks made it about impossible. (Apologies to Lee and Stonewall Jackson!)
Hence Grant's long and essentially failed attempt to turn Lee's flank in 1864, the German failure to flank the Allies near Paris in August 1914 (many factors involved, though), and the following "Race to the Channel" flanking attempts by both sides.

pretty damn awful. And if I seem to defensive of Civil War leaders and soldiers, it is simply because i have so much respect for them. There is also something about our moden day hubris. So often we just assume we are better. I am not saying that about anyone here.
But what really kills me is that we think they did not know their own weapons. That would like someone in the future saying we didn't know the net was out to get us. lol.
But seriously. This is an important subject. But these men on both sides took the charge seriously. Sure many fell and it often looked like slaughter.
But two Civil War facts. The average soldier shot down was killed at 50 yards. That is is about the same as the American Revolution. Why is that? WE can get into it. or just read Hess.
Very few people were ever killed by the bayonet in the Civil War. way more met their end that way int the American Revolution. Soldiers talked endlessly about "giving them the cold steel", but they didn't do it.

The civil war presaged WW1 in many ways - one of them was that Artillery had become far more devastating throughout the 19th century, and was responsible for a huge number of casualties. Picket's charge at Gettysburg was cut down by the Federal cannon repeatedly firing loads of cannister into the lines like giant shotguns, taking out 20 - 30 men with each blast.

WW1 was in a class by itself as far as people getting ground up in combat.
But more to the point, the Spanish Flu wasn't a war disease. It was an airbourne virus. It could just as well have sprung onto the scene in 1896 when nobody in particular was fighting, except Boers.

That came at the end, and it was actually a largely US Army transmitted flu. It was called "Spanish " flu, because Spanish newspapers first wrote about it. W. Wilson (D) had censored US newpapers.
A young Army Captain was put in charge of handling the matter, quietly, and although he had no medical training, did an excellent job of understanding the transmission vectors, and shutting them down.
That young Eisenhower fellow turned to be pretty good at organization, logistics and whatnot.

There is strong evidence that the prior Vice President of the United States was being bribed by a foreign entity, via his son. (Bribing a powerful official by directing payments to a family member is the oldest trick in the book.)
It is, however, apparently an impeachable offense for the current President of the United Starts to investigate the former Vice President's bribe-taking.

Posted by: Ace's liver at January 22, 2020 11:03 PM (wGeit)
that is a complicated subject and for sure I don't have all the answers, or even half if them. Most soldiers on the line were still using muzzle loaders even if they were percussion cap. Looking back on it, the troops, regarldess of orders, stood firm and shot it out.
There was something about plunging a bayonet, which they all had, into a fellow American. They didn't do it, that that is proven.
Since i brought up the 50 yard kill zone thing I will go a bit further with it though this is not my research, It is only what I have read mainly by Hess. The Rifle -Musket of that day was very accurate with the famed Minnie Ball. But the weapons lobbed the round like a parobala. It would make the old m16 sited toward 300 yards blush. It lobbed a huge chunk of lead at a slow speed. And that meant it had to travel like a quarterbacks's bomb throw.
Most of these troops got little live fire training as the Army's were created from whole cloth. i believe it went from 5,000 one year, to one million, to 15,000 on the Union side alone. These men engaged at the standard range where they would hit what they aimed at. In many ways, that reduced the importance of the rifle musket and Minnie's design. Not saying it didn't matter. But what actually happened often differs from what we are told happened.

Very few people were ever killed by the bayonet
in the Civil War. way more met their end that way int the American
Revolution. Soldiers talked endlessly about "giving them the cold
steel", but they didn't do it.
Posted by: Quint at January 22, 2020 10:55 PM (n13/j)
Isn't that just a function of volume of fire? By the civil war you
have percussion cap revolvers and cartridges of various types. My
impression, modern charges notwithstanding, the whole bayonet thing only
made sense because muzzle loaders take so long to reload.
Posted by: Ace's liver at January 22, 2020 11:03 PM (wGeit)
that is a complicated subject and for sure I don't have all the answers, or even half if them. Most soldiers on the line were still using muzzle loaders even if they were percussion cap. Looking back on it, the troops, regarldess of orders, stood firm and shot it out.
There was something about plunging a bayonet, which they all had, into a fellow American. They didn't do it, that that is proven.
Since i brought up the 50 yard kill zone thing I will go a bit further with it though this is not my research, It is only what I have read mainly by Hess. The Rifle -Musket of that day was very accurate with the famed Minnie Ball. But the weapons lobbed the round like a parobala. It would make the old m16 sited toward 300 yards blush. It lobbed a huge chunk of lead at a slow speed. And that meant it had to travel like a quarterbacks's bomb throw.
Most of these troops got little live fire training as the Army's were created from whole cloth. i believe it went from 5,000 one year, to one million, to 15,000 on the Union side alone.

This is why we can't have a flat legal proceeding here. They have shown no will to presume innocence, no effort to try to *prove* any negative interpretation on any action in this interpreted chain of events. Somebody who isn't involved thinks that the investigation and the aid is linked, so he shoots his mouth off that they are, and later testifies to his 4th-hand knowledge and his opinion.

Second, Ambassador Sondland sent a false e-mail that PDT wanted no quid pro quo. Where's the proof, especially when Sondland told Republican Congressman Mike Turner of Ohio that he effectively assumed there was a quid pro quo, but no official actually told him so. This reminds of the famous courtroom scene from the TV sitcom The Odd Couple, when To y Randall says that when you Assume, you make an Ass out of You and Me.
Finally, that after the military aid was released, the White House sought to create false after the fact justifications for it. Zoe Lofgren claimed that the WH has withheld e-mails that prove that the aid was released because they "got caught." I will be interested to see what Cippolone and Sekulow's response to this will be.

There have been more than a few arguments about whether the USA , AKA North, AKA union should have issued repeaters to the main line troops. It might have made a difference but I as a luddite, doubt it.
At Antietam they had 23,000 casualties. They say they had more than any battle in a day but I don't have those numbers. I wold like a repeater, and they made a difference in particular engagements of that war. But in no way did these weapons make a difference. As the well known historian G, Galagher has said. In on battlelield did a gatttling gun make any difference.

A narrative is no basis for conviction.

That's actual fact, not paraphrases with the worst connotations possible.

Also, AMTRAK, MBNA, who knows who else. Having watched other political dynasties evolve, Joe was hoping to get Hunter on the same track, even trying the Military Service ploy. But, Hunter, being a worthless, sel-indulgent, spoiled little fuck, just couldn't be bothered to be a worthwhile human being. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I expect Joe was especially glad that Hunter got hooked in with Kerry's son, but Hunter is just a wormy little perverted toad, who apparently couldn't even just maintain decent behavior.

No. Not from what we've seen. The transcript is the best evidence, aside from timeline of events and Ukrainian official statements. All of it points to no quid pro quo and acquittal.
Dems are running on innuendo, hearsay from partisan actors (and in some case with criminal exposure), and so-called "expert" opinions that impeachment is proper for abuse of power.
They have nothing on motive or intent other than mind-reading and insinuations.
And as pointed out, a legit function of POTUS cannot be an impeachable offense, just because you want to insinuate an improper motive. Especially when there is a mountain of proper motive, contemporaneously stated, to justify the POTUS actions.

Grant wasn't really trying to turn Lee's flank. That was just a tactical approach to the real strategic objective, which was to maneuver Lee back and pin him against Richmond (the one place he could not abandon). That left Sherman free to finish the war on the western front.
Grant was a brilliant strategist. Tactically, his vision was impeded by a host of mediocre or incompetent subordinates, but he still managed to get the job done.
Sherman, on the other hand, was a great grand tactician, which is how he was able to carry out Grant's plan in the West so effectively.

What is: what the Dems are doing for Trump by impeaching him?
Posted by: Average Guy at January 23, 2020 12:04 AM (BaHwF)
According to that DM article, Ghislaine, like Hillary was using a private email server. Her email address got (accidentally) released in some court document dump, revealing the domain name. That server was immediately breached.
One of the benefits of rolling your own email server (and anyone with a Linux install can run their own email servers, and even Windows. I remember playing with some free-ware or shareware email server program for Windows years ago) is that it makes it a little harder for the cops to get at it.
They are generally a much greater hacking risk, though, if you're not on top of the latest security stuff.

AOP said that he met at a Studebaker owner's convention at LeMay in the parking lot in 2018, but didn't take the tour. Because he didn't have enough time to do the tour properly.
AOP is one very smart guy. You need to plan more time than the Skipper planned for the SS Minnow's 3-hour tour, to properly absorb LeMay.

Grant's plan in the West so effectively.
Posted by: HTL at January 22, 2020 11:56 PM (on1DJ)
Grant was extremely underrated. Yes he kept trying to flank Lee's right and he kept getting challenged. What Lee did there and many other places was amazing. Probably the greatest thing Lee ever did was get his army back from Gettysburg intact. That is not known to many but is still studied in armiy colleges around the world.
Grant was not a butcher as his own people called him. He only became a butcher when he went against Lee. He tried to maneuver but it usually did not work. What he did was stick it out, what he did was do what he had to do to win. Grant has been lost to history.Most people could barely tell you what war he fough in.much less why he matters.

Horses are a big target and can't low-crawl.
Q: What do you call cavalry that has engaged with machine guns?
A: Infantry
Even more important was that the European armies were focused on movement and open field action. When they (and the Civil war AND the Sino-Russian war) bogged down into trench warfare they just sat and killed each other for no real gain.
Small highly mobile groups could be used to really tip things, and that was what cavalry was best at during the Civil war. Some groups, like Cpt Mosby's troopers were geniuses at it. They could hit and disperse and join again to hit again before anything could be brought to bear on them.
One of the other reasons lines and volley fire were important was that the rate of fire for each individual weapon was very low, and the hit rate at normal engagement ranges was low. You needed volley fire to guarantee sufficient hits to make a difference.
With the Minee ball the firepower was increased and with the magazine rifles it became even higher, as was the accuracy.
With quick firing guns it was easier to hit mobile units like cavalry. With machine guns it was a Bad Idea for big horses to go to the front, but they were used in other theaters where the lines hadn't set like in France.

I'm working on a paper to submit to the Methodist Church. I may even nail it to the front door. Central to the theme is the fact (nod to Andrew Breitbart) that the Church should not be downstream of culture, but rather the other way around.
The clergy are almost entirely to blame for the degenerate direction that the church has taken. I have every intention of holding their feet to the fire. So far, all of the debates are rooted in ecclesiastical/Biblical argument. I intend to move it into the sociological realm.

Joined a Christian and Missionary Church (a denomination from Baptist roots, but focused on missionary work to the far-east, mostly China), which was near to me.
Parted from them when I joined the USAF in '76. Found a new church home in San Antonio in late '78, more of a Charismatic formula, but still tracing roots back to a Baptist lineage.
Here's the thing.
I never bought into the Dispensationalism of any of their theology. Bible either said what it said, or it didn't.
And that's how I still see it, today.
Theological nuances and difficulties?
I can worry those out over prayer and study.
I've not $0.02 to give as to what Rev. Dr. So & So from Eclesibabpistical Semitary says about it.

Give a listen to Gordon Lightfoot's compilation of hits, "Gord's Gold, VOL. 1"
You'll hear a lot of Sea Chanty in much of the rhyme and meter of many of his songs.
That, and the man is a soul-moving poet of the first order.
Music to enjoy after two-too many drinks. And counting.

That was Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). She always looks confused. On the scale of confusion, she's pegged the meter.
That clip just proves we have decrepit morons who vote for laws that that tell us how to live. One comment on that twitter thread said something interesting about a pharmacist friend from DC who said people would be badly surprised at the prescription drugs these politicians take. Watching Schemer talk to an empty chair on the Senate floor, waving his hands to get that invisible person out of the chair, I believe what that pharmacist said.

I really don't understand why churches think it's okay to change doctrine in response to the times. As a church you're telling people "These are the unchanging facts of life. What we're telling you is literally the Word of God."
If your doctrine changes, it's perfectly reasonable for people to ask if any of it is divinely inspired.
I mean, sure, change the music. You can even change the traditions (though I hate that), or the wording of prayers in your service. But if you told my grandfather sodomy is a quick trip to hell, and now you're saying it's not a sin at all... what am I to think?

Added bonus? Do some research into Lightfoot's history as a musician.

Here's the thing. I've lived one HELL of an un-believable life. And I'm not a pimple on the ass of the life L'Amour lived.
Humbly? Buncha you Morons here, too, MASSIVELY out-class me in the un-believable life category.

Funny bit of history about the longbow:
We all know the 'peace sign', two fingers in a 'V' with the thumb holding the curled fingers facing away. When Winston Churchill was holding his fingers in a 'V', the thumb holding the curled fingers was facing toward him, a mirror image of the peace sign.
That Winston Churchill hand gesture comes from the days of the longbow men. They needed strong fingers to pull back on that bow and it took years of training to be a competent longbow man. They were deadly on the battlefield and, if captured, the French (it was always the French who fought against the English in The Longbow Wars), would cut off those two fingers so that the man was never able to wield a longbow again.
So, to taunt the French Monty Python-style, the longbow men would hold up two fingers in a 'V', with the curled fingers inward as they did when puling back the bowstring. That gesture translated as 'Fuck you, come and get them' (the fingers). So while we think Churchill is saying 'V' for Victory with his hand sign (as I remember being told as a young 'un), Churchill was actually telling Hitler, 'Fuck You'. Just like when we extend our middle finger.
The more you know. CBS cares.

I found this today and for just a brief moment my faith in mankind was restored. Until some scold laments about it.
Preach.
The world is a fairly miserable place, in my opinion. It was a perfect Garden of delight and innocence until we decided that we should run it ourselves.
Most of us still have a soul memory of what is good and true and holy and wonderful and it makes our inner beings ache for what is lost and anger at what is coming. We hold on to what is good and decent and try to pass it in to our kids and our kid's kids in hopes that it can be restored, and every time we engage in this it's like flicking a lighter in a cave and we can see for a minute and we think, if only for an instant, that with illumination we might be able to find our way out, our way back to goodness.
But we fear and know that the relief is only temporary because we have limited fuel. But if we can show that light to everyone, they get their own lighter too and there is power in that, because we recognize that all those lights together could illuminate the world. And we grieve each time one of the brightest lights, the torches if you will, leave us and join the Eternal, because we know our world is darker and that light will not return. And we rejoice because they found their way home.
But we can not despair. It is our duty to bear that tiny insignificant light, seemingly useless in the thick, black darkness. It seems useless and hopeless, but each flicker is showing another, teaching, offering hope.
Will we ever show everyone and drive darkness from our world? No. Only the return of the loving, immortal Lord has the power to do that.
But we can show another. We can lead a brother, a daughter or a friend to embrace the illumination over choosing to succumb to a life in darkness, to settle for a fate and stop trying, stop searching, to forget what is good.
And that, my friend, is what you writers do here. You illuminate, you lead, you protect, you offer a shoulder for those that cannot see you grasp hold of as the stumble in darkness. Are you angry and sarcastic and pessimistic at times while you do so? Of course, you are human and who could not grow weary in the midst of such inequity. But you also show backbone and determination and you use humor and sheer grit to pass that light on, the light for freedom and goodness, tradition and righteousness, family and God, and you make that flicker shine for many.
God bless you all and embolden you to continue to shine until you find your way out. You give hope to those that think these thoughts they too have are burdens that must be borne alone. You develop community and alleviate in this place the utter hopelessness.
Great and inspiring you are, take pride in that friends.

Not in so many words, of course, but it was basically a non-hostile takeover. Lots of bad feelings on our part.
A few of the members had been young children when ground was broken on that church, and had been there for 50+ years.

I see a set up, depending on RBG and one more on SCOTUS.
Then the misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment will be gutted.
The Supremes have never actually ruled on that. The Wong Kim Ark case was based on the parents being legally resident in the US, and before any real immigration laws.

What scares me the most about Schiffty is that he's a former Federal Prosecutor from California. If he had been my prosecutor and I was convicted, I'd be digging knee deep into his history for my appeals. The amount of lying he's done in the past couple of years just did not happen out of the clear blue; there has to be a history of lying and twisting 'facts'. Schiffty being a former Federal Prosecutor is really frightening.
I also see from Wiki that he went to Harvard Law. Now that's a shockah! Not!

14 the amendment section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the
state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Aliens who get a temporary VISA to visit the US for the purpose of delivering a child who will then be a citizen with the right to start chain migration are not legal residents of the US. Wong Kim Arc was a BS
ruling but the current interpretations of it make it totally
outlandish.

Under Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes the same Congress who had adopted the Fourteenth Amendment had enacted into law, confirmed this principle: "All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States."

"provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if"
So, it appears to simply make Richmond the venue for any crimes of threatening the governor, etc. Threats and harassment are *already* crimes. That includes threatening and harassing gov't officials.
This just forces the trial to be held where it's convenient to those state officials. (Maybe this also prevents venue-shopping.)

Won Kim was regularly invoked by many to support their very own definition of "natural born citizens" (NBC) going so far as to INSIST they are quoting it with excerpts that are not anywhere in it and not admitting they were loosely paraphrasing it. Then use that to justify anyone born anywhere in the US is a NBC.
Another significant case used dealt with enrolling children of illegal aliens into public schools. Loosely paraphrasing that and the declaring children of illegal aliens are NBCs. That case, if I recollect correct, basically said even if you think a child is the spawn of illegal aliens, since the case hasn't been adjudicated, you cannot deny them equal access. That is my loose paraphrase.
So you have a couple of cases everyone invokes that actually do not declare that anyone is a NBC being used to declare any baby dropped in the US is a NBC.

keep watching trying to come up with some explanation. So far, I got
nutthin'....
I think Schumer is losing it.
First he tries to get the court reporter to get out of her seat,
McConnell then says something to him and then, either he's making a joke
to cover for his weirdness or has really lost it but he tells an
invisible person to get out of his chair.
Watch the looks on Sen. Feinstein and Sen. Murphy faces...They're behind Schumer:

Maybe to North Korea.
The NORKs could use the economic stimulus.
And maybe the new building could be built by North Korean contractors.

Hmm, I never thought of that. Considering where we are and what's happening in the culture wars (and isn't the Methodist Church particularly guilty of morphing right now into being proponents to a lot of these SJW positions?) It sure has validity, VIA.

Their starting point was a river that was pretty well dried up. Clarkson was talking about it being due to climate change, and I didn't sense his usual sarcasm. But then after talking about it for a minute, he also mentioned that the Chinese had dammed the river.
Kind of salient, I'd think.

An absolutely perfect example of IowaHawk's adage about identifying and killing a respected organization, then skinning it and wearing the skin suit. All while demanding the respect that the original organization was afforded.

I would add they have perverted the law to be "guilty unless proven Democrat".

Ah...I believe that structure is formally named 'The great People's Climate Change Dam'
Or...
Climate Change, for short.

If a religion has an ever changing doctrine du jour it will be seen as not worth learning. Our synagogue essentially did the same thing. It didn't ask people to leave but made it a bastion for lgtbq crap and diversity/anti-white supremacy. We went from history and ritual to an insistence that the leftist policies of Obama were "the right thing to do" (we are in love with that expression, even with no proof).
They still wanted our money though for their "vital" (though very anti-traditional) programs. We said FTS and left.
I don't think anyone wants to go to a religious service to hear that they are inherently evil. White is not the original sin.

With the "climate change" hysteria, you can note that they will always say "oh terrible drought! That's because of climate change!!!" except next year, when there are floods it will be "oh terrible floods! That's because of climate change!!!" They've set a nice little religion where EVERYTHING that happens "proves" them right.
