Damn, Tom, that's about what you told me in Vietnam last year: 'Nothing Good Can Come of You Sitting Down With the FBI ' :)
Judge Andrew Napolitano repeated his word of caution to President
Trump on sitting down for an interview with Special Counsel Robert
Mueller.
"Nothing good can come from Donald Trump trying to persuade Bob
Mueller not to charge him with anything. Let the lawyers do the talking
and the negotiating," the Fox News senior judicial analyst said on
"Outnumbered Overtime," arguing Trump would be likely to give
"contradictory answers" if he talks to Mueller directly.
The president said to reporters Thursday - after signing an executive memorandum on tariffs - that he "would like to" testify before Mueller.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte
subpoenaed the Justice Department on Thursday for documents regarding
the charging decisions in the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s
private email server, potential abuses of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act and the recommendation from the FBI’s Office of
Professional Responsibility to fire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe.
Goodlatte, R-Va., who has said he
would not seek re-election in November, penned a letter to Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday, attached to the document
subpoena.
Goodlatte requested documents related to the Clinton
email investigation and noted that only a “fraction” of those documents
had been produced, with “no documents” provided related to the request
on potential FISA abuses.
A Dustoff Huey was the most welcome sight for soldiers in the
Vietnam War. Soldiers listened for the “whop-whop-whop” sound of the
chopper that was coming to take them out of the battlezone.
It’s
not a matter for debate that the Dustoff Medics saw more wartime
brutality than anyone else.
These medics were men with outsized courage
facing the most horrific wounds and injuries continually throughout
their day.
They were constantly shot at, placed under mortar and
heavy arms fire and sent into mine fields all to retrieve and heal the
injured and wounded soldiers. They truly were among the most heroic men
in the war.
“It’s very unusual for resolutions like this to come immediately to
the floor where you have 100 senators voting on it,” Senate Majority
Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, said this week. “Because frankly, not all of
us are as up to speed on the details of this, or what the unintended
impact might be ...”
Cornyn pleaded with colleagues to be patient, to let the
measure go through the committee process, where members with expertise
would have time to evaluate its consequences, or at least to read it.
For over almost 2000 years, the Roman Catholic Church was a pillar of Western civilization. In spite of bad Popes, schism, and the rise of false religions, it persevered. The Reformation was necessary, and it was accomplished by the Church, within the Church. Even with the loss of many adherents to Protestantism, the Church remained a force for good in the world.
Then came 1968 and Vatican II, which opened the sea cocks and began the scuttling of that great ship. Slowly, she foundered, but on an even keel, so many didn't even notice she was sinking. But now the water has reached the scuppers and courses across the weather decks. She lists, and those wet feet begin to notice, there's not many lifeboats.
For nearly a thousand years, England was a pillar of Western civilization. Brave little England. Home of the Magna Carta; home of the ideal of Constitutional government; home of fierce queens and heroic kings; the gallant few who defeated the Armada; who won Agincourt; and who, mainly, spread Western civilization across the world.
Gone now, lost to the Left's impossible dream of 'Diversity'. Mutts, Muslims, and mud men run amok where heroes once strode.
Europe, the other birthplace of Western civilization, home to great thinkers, philosophers, artists, engineers, architects, style and music . . . adrift on a sea of surly, snarling dark faces, hostile to all that Europe stood for, eating out her substance, grinding her history underfoot. Bringing the cradle of our culture down to some filthy mud hut village in the African hinterland.
And here, in America, madness reigns. What was right and true is turned upside down and cast away, the last pillar crumbles, though some strain to shore it up, more chip away at the foundation, intent on bringing down this noblest experiment in human freedom. Hungering for the chains of slavery and the dull existence of so many hopeless drones, they scream and and flaunt their misspelled signs. 'Indefatigable Ignorance' someone called it. Willful ignorance I say.
Sad, to me, here in the twilight of my life, to see. Destruction and dissolution of 5000 years of man's history and progress . . . by insignificant pissants unworthy to bear the chamberpot of those whom they despise.
As the Senate barrels toward the third government funding deadline of
the year, Republicans appear in the dark about one key question: What
will Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) do?
The libertarian-minded senator caused an hours-long shutdown
in February. He's yet to say if he'll give a repeat performance going
into the midnight Friday deadline to avoid a partial closure.
"Shame,
shame. A pox on both Houses — and parties. $1.3 trillion. Busts budget
caps. 2200 pages, with just hours to try to read it," he tweeted on Thursday.
Brazilian women want to be impregnated from the sperm of white
American men, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal
Thursday.
Wealthy Brazilian women and lesbian couples are requesting white male
sperm from the U.S. so their kids will have more Caucasian features,
the Wall Street Journal reported.
At least 50 percent of Brazil’s population is black or mixed-race,
but women are selecting young sperm donors who will more likely produce
children with blond hair and blue eyes. The number of American sperm
donors to Brazil surged at least 3,000 percent in the past seven years.
It is also illegal to pay men for their sperm in Brazil, which allows
American donors more opportunity in the market.
The carefully vetted process of selecting American sperm and then the in vitro fertilization process starts at around $7,000.
The rationale for wanting white children is reportedly due to racism
and tense race relations throughout Brazil’s history. Brazil took in 10
times as many slaves as the U.S. and it was the last Western country to
make slavery illegal in 1888. Now, 80 percent of the richest one percent
of Brazil’s population is white, according to WSJ.
“It’s an atheist’s way to achieve immortality,” computer scientist João Carlos Holland de Barcellos,
told the Wall Street Journal. Barcellos has blue eyes and light hair
due to his German and English ancestors is now freezing his sperm and
giving it to Brazilian couples who desire more Caucasian-looking
children. His wife manages their practice and transfers the sperm
nearly-daily to women at their home.
Citigroup announced Thursday it’s implementing
restrictions on client firearm sales, making it the first major bank to
impose such gun control measures.
In an email to employees provided to Infowars, Citigroup Chief
Executive Officer Mike Corbat detailed new policies applying to “small
business, commercial and institutional clients, as well as credit card
partners.”
The policy is ostensibly “designed to respect the rights of
responsible gun owners while helping keep firearms out of the wrong
hands,” Corbat claimed.
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence voted along
party lines on Thursday to formally end the panel’s Russia investigation
and to release a report about the probe to the rest of Congress.
The 150-page report will now undergo a classification review by the
intelligence community to determine what information must be redacted in
the document. After it goes to Congress, the report will be made
public. That is expected to happen within the next several weeks.
No matter who you are, you don’t want to get caught in the crosshairs of Benghazi hero Kris Paronto, an Army Ranger.
Paronto unleashed a fiery Twitter takedown of Obama-appointed Deep
State agents Andrew McCabe, James Comey, and John Brennan. And they’re
going to need some aloe to nurse those sick burns.
Benghazi hero Kris Paronto shut down fired FBI employees James Comey and Andrew McCabe. (screenshots)
Paronto started off by blasting McCabe, who whined to the media that his firing was an attempt by the Trump White House to “slander” him and the entire FBI.
For the record, President Trump has repeatedly praised the
rank-and-file members of the FBI as hard-working patriots. Trump’s issue
is with top-level political appointees, most of whom are Obama
holdovers that have been working nonstop to undermine his presidency.
Paronto tweeted: “Slander the @FBI and Law Enforcement?! You’ve got
to be sh*tting me, Andy. You , James [Comey] and your @BarackObama
appointed syndicate brought nothing but lies, politics, corruption & disgrace to a once great FBI.”
Paronto then slammed fired FBI director James Comey, who allegedly
tried to pin “excessive force use” claims on Paronto and his team after
they returned from Benghazi. “You all are the worst scum of human[ity],”
Kris tweeted.
The House passed “right to try” legislation on experimental drugs largely along party lines Wednesday, sending a bill backed by President Trump to the Senate.
Last
week, House Republican leaders put the bill on the floor under
suspension of the rules. Democrats objected, expressing safety concerns
over how the measure would bypass the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), and it fell short of the necessary two-thirds support it needed.
But
leaders made clear the House would take up the bill again. On the
second try, the House only needed a simple majority to pass the bill,
and easily did so in the 267-149 vote.
Mark Zuckerberg had all but disappeared after a report emerged over the weekend that a data analytics firm allegedly harvested 50 million Facebook profiles
of U.S. voters and used them to construct a software program to
influence the 2016 presidential election. But he finally emerged on
Wednesday to say this, in effect: Mistakes were made.
"We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if
we can't then we don't deserve to serve you,” Zuckerberg said in a
legalistic statement posted, of course, on Facebook. “I've been working
to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn't
happen again."
After a community is seared by
unthinkable violence, the shock and grief usually give way to the
impulse to carve the memory into stone.
A memorial is a community’s
attempt to punctuate tragedy, to close it with a period, or perhaps an
exclamation point or a question mark.
Public memorials have honored the
victims and shaped the storyline of terrorist bombings in Oklahoma City
and New York City, of a president assassinated in Dallas, and of mass
shootings across the country, including in Killeen and Austin.
“We had more time on station than the
big fighters and unlike them we could operate under cloud cover and in
tough terrain that might have deterred a larger jet.”
The light attack concept has been under study since the 1950s, but in
the opinion of many the Air Force only got it right once – during the
Vietnam War with the Cessna A-37B Dragonfly.
A group of Republican senators wants to press the button on a new “nuclear option” that would limit debate time on President Trump’s nominees.
The
controversial move would hasten the pace of the president’s nominees
getting confirmed and curtail Democratic power in the upper chamber.
Senate leaders have twice used the nuclear option to facilitate action on nominees in recent years.
In 2013, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
(D-Nev.) stripped the minority of the power to filibuster executive
branch and judicial nominees below the level of Supreme Court.
