Hey, not sure if this was mentioned, but despite the happy-talk about the GOPe fundraising "prowess" under the new GOPe House leader, it seems he was sounding the alarm bells privately...
https://bit.ly/2GHq4fj
"They (the DNCC) are kicking our ass," warned Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
"HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP used a closed party meeting this morning to concede they are in the midst of a full-blown fundraising crisis, after the @DCCC outraised the @NRCC by $40 million in 2019. Individual Dem candidates are also smoking their Republican opponents."
Yeah, if true, perhaps the pats on the back were more than a little bit premature.

My brother was WIA in Vietnam in 1968. This past weekend he came by for a rare visit and in a night of drink he did something he had never, ever done before: talked about how he was wounded. He was hit 3 times by a machine gun and another Marine grabbed him and drug him to cover. That act cost cost the Marine his life.
I now know the name of this hero. A quick bit of googling leads me to believe that his sister is still alive. I'm very tempted to try to reach out to her or her family to pass on that her brother died a hero and my brother is alive today because of him. Or, should I just leave this alone?

interesting conundrum. I don't know if the notice of passing would have pointed out that he saved your brothers life, or if he was awarded a medal for it. maybe they already know.
but part of me says there's no harm in telling them how he saved your brother's life.

I don't know how to feel about all of this.
On the one hand, money is really important in races, especially house races.
On the other, Trump is raising a lot and won in 2016 by raising about half as much money as Hillary.
Money's not everything, but it's definitely something, so to speak. I just don't know how effective the dollars raised and used in the general election will be on either side.

Retired military myself, with family Vietnam KIA. I can say unequivocally that surviving family members are always and properly delighted to hear from those who were comrades in arms, all the more so if they bring confirmation that their loved one died as an extraordinary hero. It's not unlike meeting a grateful organ recipient who was saved by a generous and sacrificial donation, I would think.

Trump understands the value of talking to real people, not schmoozing with politicians, lobbyists, and their support industry (media, pollsters, etc.)
Social media lets him do just that, and because he's able to reach the public directly, the traditional gatekeepers and their spin doctors can't control the flow of information like they have in the past.

Here's something else to consider.
The individual Republican doesn't matter too much in the House. The point is to get a majority so that Democrats can't dictate the business of the House, like this Congress.
So, yeah, that Republican may be a RINO squish, but he's still going to vote for leadership and get a Republican speaker in place instead of Nancy or Nancy's successor.
Sure, that Democrat says he won't vote for Nancy, but 1) he will, and 2) it doesn't matter if he does or doesn't because if the Democrats have the majority at all, Nancy's gonna be speaker.

I think she'd like to know. My father died about 25 years ago from medical complications due to his service in Vietnam. He had a full military funeral and it was only then that I learned he had been awarded both a Bronze Star and Silver Star during his service because he never spoke of it. Many of his service records were destroyed in a fire at a records facility so I have never learned what he did that earned him those medals. Oh what I wouldn't give to hear from one his war comrades those stories.

They should be very *very* careful. Dragging Flynn's kids into it got Flynn to capitulate. I don't think that will work on Trump. If nothing else (and I suspect there is plenty "else," for what that's worth), Melania won't put up with it. She is pissed over the treatment of her family. If they decide to go after Trump's family with the power of the state, I suspect that Trump might just do what they all fear.
I certainly would.

If you actually click on it, you get a "404" page. If you search for it on AMC's page, you can eventually find it on their site; for unknown reasons, their page title has some ID # at the end, and the new number with the actual page for the movie is a bit higher than the one the search engine links to.

You clearly belong to the "you haven't suffered enough" school of medical advice.
Straight whiskey, with water only, is not bad for a diabetic at all.There's new "research" (term used advisedly; this is the internet) showing that straight whiskey may be good for both insulin production and blood sugar.
I get all kinds of smart-assed commentary on this from people who have one lite beer and really think they're whooopin' in up, but, I have the charts to prove it. Of course the ironic weird One Simple Fact is that many beverages of moderation are chock-full of carbohydrates, and lighter presumably healthy stomachics and cordials are really sugar syrup.

I've had beers with Justice Thomas. On a couple of occasions. He's a gregarious, funny, self-effacing but powerful and confident man. He knows that even though he's black and came from literally nothing, all these white chillins (law students) love him as the second coming, and knows that he is a Justice of the Supreme Court of the most powerful nation the word has ever known. At the same time, he is friendly and open, and dead honest.
His most disturbing trait? Laughing really boisterously and looking you dead in the eye when he does it. It's almost a challenge to not laugh. Go ahead, he dares you not to laugh!!!

That would have been the 1973 Saint Louis fire. It's not just as simple as clicking on a site, but with some input and research, the records can often be reconstructed. It's certainly worth doing for any veteran still alive, or for those whose memories are cherished.
I'll go ahead and opine that the one fire and its notoriety has given rise to more false claims of heroism and bullshit stolen valor than all the liquor ever poured across VFW bar-tops.

Kagan is probably really stuffy, but likely friendly enough. I've met Ct of Appeals judges like her in demeanor and they are nice, but just uptight. Sotomayor I have no idea.

ghbucky,
I was once contacted by the son of an officer I'd worked for (submarines), who knew little of what his father was like as a naval officer.
I only had good things to say about him, so I related what I could. Pretty much a 4.0 fitness report.
He was appreciative of the insight.
Some people don't want old scars revisited though, and this guy died of natural causes.
Were it me, I'd inquire.

It's interesting to see that those guys are doubling down after the clip went viral - they are openly mocking anyone who was offended and "owning" them by calling them snowflakes and quoting Ben Shapiro's "f#$@ your feelings."
Sure, fair is fair in applying Alinsky #4, but. . . good luck ever getting anyone to care about Trump's or anyone else's insults to the media. We are all liberated by you ripping off the masks.

Ted Cruz just went beastmode shredding Hunter Biden and Joe and the journos went bonkers!!! LMAOOOOO
https://preview.tinyurl.com/w9oex7o
Cruz (paraphrasing): Bolton does not impact legal issue before the Senate, which is whether the President has the authority to investigate corruption. Dem House Managers have built their entire case on the proposition that investigating the Biden/Burisma corruption was baseless and a sham. That proposition is absurd; we've just seen two hours of evidence of the corruption. So an investigation was not only reasonable and justified, but the President had an obligation to investigate corruption that potentially ran to the highest levels of the U.S. government. (I am glad that this argument is being made forcefully.
In response (at 2:50), a media hack suggest jailing his 9 year old kid on the false premise that the only thing the investigation is concerned with is that Crackhead Biden got a job.
Unreal.

One commenter noted that white people can and do dance quite well -- in culturally white styles like line dancing, waltz, ballet, etc. So claiming that white people are incapable of dancing simply because of their overpowering whitenitude is inaccurate. Of course, to shore up their woke bonafides, they insisted on bashing Christianity (see I'm with you!).
They were responded to with how that didn't count because what mattered was modern hip hop "POC" dancing and so the point was moot.

There's a reason ad hominem is a logical fallacy: because it fails to make your case or defeat your opponent's argument. It may very well be right that your opponent is a stupid doo doo head, but that doesn't make his argument wrong.

For about two months, in between moving their HQ quite a few times, seeing a little shooting, and the day by day work of a rifle company, he and a squad of others typed and typed and typed all day long, in trucks and in tents, re-creating all those files.
And right about the time they'd finished, they re-captured all those files from the retreating Germans.
It was a cruel damned war, in more ways than we can imagine.

I an kind of mildly annoyed with the whole Jackie Robinson worship day in baseball each year, but the man was a pretty phenomenal person and a damn fine player. He accomplished something rather remarkable for the game, so I get it.
But Kobe was just another dude playing ball, he didn't do anything groundbreaking or unique, he was a really good player, but didn't break any barriers or do something first. His entire claim to special treatment is... dying.

Most likely based on arrest of a woman employee of some Canadian bio-lab. Lab working on at cures for SARS and MERS type viruses, not weaponizing them.
Posted by: runner at January 28, 2020 11:58 AM (zr5Kq)
To clarify, what I heard was that the spy took the strain from the Canadian lab, it ended up in Wuhan, and the Chinese proceeded to weaponize it.

Ooh, I heard a conspiracy theory that they stole a virus from a Canadian lab and weaponized it at Wuhan. Maybe it's not so crazy a theory after all.
Posted by: joncelli, because somebody had to at January 28, 2020 11:52 AM (RD7QR)
My theory? This is China's Chernobyl.
They have a relatively new Level 4 viral research facility in Wuhan. They probably were studying the Coronavirus in question, and it got out - either an employee accidentally brought his work home with him, or animals from testing were improperly disposed of (such as sold to a local butcher).
The Chinese government knew exactly what it was after reconstructing events, hence the sudden lockdown and attempt to contain it.
Right now, they're downplaying it and blaming natural causes to try to save face.
The truth is likely very inconvenient for the Communist Party, pointing at either incompetence or corruption as the cause of the release.

I would probably like to eat Chinese with Kagan, and then take her out for some actual Christmas dinner, because being a Jew is no reason to miss out on a perfectly nice feast. If trapped in a room with Sotomayor, though, I would scream and toss the burrito bowls at her before making my escape.

That is what I suspect as well. I have long suspected that China deliberately slips diseases into our midst to weaken Americans, its a pretty classic Chinese kind of maneuver, and I would be shocked if they didn't have a lab somewhere brewing up nasty stuff. All it would take is one lunatic deliberately or one shoddy screwup to disease a city and spread from there.
Its not like Chinese contractors or engineers are world renown for their meticulous care or excellence.

They stick it out into the middle of some God-forsaken bit of Siberia. Every now and then you fly a reconnaissance plane over the facility; if it's surrounded by eviscerated human bodies and dead wolves, napalm the place and start over 10 km away. That's the nice thing about having Siberia.

Y'know CRT, I often wondered that living in Oregon. It would seem like every year there woud be a weird cold that would either last longer, be more annoying, or just different from usual, and that it had come down from Seattle (from hearing friends there getting sick first). I'm sure that China does this shit, too.
This year's weird cold lasts two full weeks and turns into a sinus infection for some extra fun. What the everloving hell?

>>>The Palestinian leadership is expected to announce several resolutions
at its meeting on Tuesday, including the boycott of the U.S. government,
reported Lebanese Al Mayadeen news agency.
=========
Between direct aid to the Palestinian Authority and money given via the UNRWA the United States has donated in the aggregate over $11 billion over the last 25 years. That's an average of about $430 million per year, every year, for decades.
Since they are now saying they don't really need that money, that's a tidy savings for us.

You really need to talk to your brother first.
The questions that come to mind are why was nothing acknowledged about the event at the time?
If your brother was too incapacitated to report it, why didn't he after he recovered?
Too many questions, and this is on your bro to take care of or at least give you the go ahead.

The student came from a very tough home situation. Oldest of several siblings. Parents with drug issues. She managed to be a great student, care for her siblings, and still be involved via a dramatic juggling act that she mostly kept quiet about until it could no longer be hidden.
When she accepted the award, there was a dinner in Washington, D.C., which was of course covered by the foundation. A key donor and their wife/significant other were seated at each table (there was only one award winner per table, along with those that accompanied them). My student sat next to Clarence Thomas and his wife. The student was not overly politically active at the time, and had not been taught in her history course about his confirmation process. As a result, he was an unknown to her.
Mr. Thomas and he wife were incredibly gracious. He talked with her about her life, and its struggles. He shared his own as a young, impoverished boy who had to find a route in life. He told her how he does not take part in much of the Washington social world, but when he does, it has to be meaningful - hence is activities with the foundation. At the end of the evening, he gave my student his personal phone number (direct line) and told her if she ever needed someone to talk to, or needed help as she encountered challenges in her academic career and life, don't hesitate to call him. In addition, her gave her a small silver cross he kept in his pocket. He said it was something he had carried since his youth, a a sort of a reminder to keep struggling, keep trying, and always keep the faith, no matter how dark the days were.
My student was incredibly touched by how Mr. and Mrs. Thomas treated her, and it stuck with her as she continued on her education journey and on into her professional life.
I just wanted to share this story. It is probably so far down the comment chain no one will read it. But I hope some do. These are the kind of things that many political people package to be said about them to advance their career. But few are like Thomas, where they due it because they believe it is the right thing - and they do not make their actions and issue of public consumption.

I have found reading Justice Thomas's rulings to be a pleasure. Very well reasoned. Sometimes intense. So of course the racists on the left allude that his reasoning and writings are the opposite of that.
