And it's Saturday again;

I hope you people appreciate the sacrifice of gathering all this data for your perusal

This just in: corrupt hack is really upset

at people finding out more about what a hack he is.

Comey, you're a dirtbag. 

Few days ago it was nice enough

to get out the lead pot and, using the formulae provided by Taminator, change the 30-1 and 25-1 to 15-1.  And then cast some bullets.

So I've got some more to use now, and some pounds of alloy ready to use.  Get another nice day and the time, I need to take a bunch of the pure and alloy it appropriately.  I think I've got enough tin to do about half of it, then I'm going to have to get more.

Trust? The EffingBI and the DoJ?

Page: Have a meeting with turgal about getting iphone in a day or so

 

Strzok: Oh hot damn. . . We get around our security/monitoring issues?

 

Page: No, he’s proposing that we just stop following them.  Apparently the requirement to capture texts came from [Office of Management and Budget], but we’re the only org (I’m told) who is following that rule.  His point is, if no one else is doing it why should we. . .  I’m told – thought I have seen – that there is an IG report that says everyone is failing.  But one has changed anything, so why not just join in the failure.

It’s a shockingly cavalier attitude from an attorney and high level FBI official.

I'd say the proper word isn't 'cavalier', it's 'corrupt'.  And what we've come to expect.  

What we've also come to expect: unless there's one helluva lot of pressure, not a damn thing will happen to the people behind this crap.

And it doesn't help when the idiots/malicious in Congress make it easier for the bastards by letting them keep using FISA to screw with us.  My Senator's one of them: when I wrote about this, he insisted that the bill reauthorizing it 'has strong safeguards'.  Yeah, just like the ones the corrupt ignored in the previous version.

To say I'm sick of this shit, would be a huge understatement.

Ah, Fridays,

when the data comes in and gets put together in easy-to-study form

Now for something a bit different

"The roses look wonderful!

What's your secret?"
A man who describes himself as a shy and helpless romantic at heart, a former mall Santa Claus, is now an accused serial killer who, Toronto police allege, buried the skeletal remains of his victims’ dismembered bodies in the bottom of outdoor planters and flower pots.

Parts of more human bodies may be hidden in planters or gardens at homes throughout Toronto. No one knows exactly which ones.

I didn't know OSU had so many whiny bitches attending.


Police union heads and elected officials are calling for a probe and an end to the practice.

“We need to do a full investigation,” said City Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Queens), a member of the Public Safety Committee. “It’s an insult to the people who do work for the NYPD.”
Tell you what: you stop letting people get away with stuff because they have the card, and there won't be a damned problem anymore.


New dinosaur found in Egypt.


Assuming they can find anyone in the upper reaches of the EffingBI and DoJ who isn't a corrupt political hack, they need to replace the whole leadership in both places.  And a bunch of the minions.

If they can't find anyone?  Bring in outsiders who don't give a rats ass about 'protecting the reputation of the agency'.


All those laws in those Bloomberg & Brady-approved paradises don't seem to be working out real well.

Except for the bad guys; they don't have to worry about their victims being armed.

I still don't watch political speeches, so I didn't see it;

from what I'm hearing from people who don't like Trump, apparently he kicked ass.  And Democrats.  And, as someone put it the other day, "This speech will not be given by Hillary Clinton, so the state of the Union is GREAT!"


Interesting piece on Jewish support for the Evil Party, includes this:
So here’s the question I began to ponder after poking around the Blitzer family tree. What would make Wolf Blitzer decide to shit all over the memory of his Holocaust-survivor father, for no other reason than to push for the U.S. to be flooded with unskilled immigrants? Why is that so damn important to the guy, that he’s willing to dishonor the memory of the man who raised him? 

This is a low point for leftist Jews. I would argue that this may indeed be the lowest point that any leftist Jew has ever managed to reach. Because, as sacred as the Holocaust is to the average Jew, and as sacred as Holocaust survivors are to the average Jew, apparently you can spit on the grave of a Holocaust survivor if by doing so you make it easier for a Mexican drug dealer to wreak havoc north of the border.


I want to know what all's in that memo, if only because even the threat of it being released is causing leftists to lose their minds.  And stuff like this keeps coming out:
The inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, has been asking witnesses why FBI leadership seemed unwilling to move forward on the examination of emails found on the laptop of former congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) until late October -- about three weeks after first being alerted to the issue, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

A key question of the internal investigation is whether McCabe or anyone else at the FBI wanted to avoid taking action on the laptop findings until after the Nov. 8 election, these people said. It is unclear whether the inspector general has reached any conclusions on that point.
And this on the "The messages disappeared, we can't possibly retrieve them!" crap:
A former FBI special agent, who worked extensively on counterterrorism related cases, stated they were "dumbfounded" by the FBI's original excuse that the text messages were irretrievable.

"Even though the servers 'lost' the text messages of Strzok they would still be on his actual device, even if he deleted them," stated the former FBI special agent, who asked to speak on background due to the sensitivity of the case. "That's how we catch bad guys, we forensically search their phones. Nothing disappears off the device, nothing... unless they take a hammer to it or microwave it. The question is, the FBI knows this, so why did the bureau say they couldn’t retrieve them -- why did they mislead Congress."
Well, you've got two choices: trying to cover-up their actions, at least enough to buy time, or(in some cases) misguided clowns following their programming to try to protect the sacred Bureau from more bad publicity.  Or a mix of both.  Either case ought to lead to people being fired at the least; I'm pretty damned sick of LEOs- especially high-ranking ones- getting away with crap that would put a plain old citizen in a cell.

One gripe I've heard about releasing the memo is that it might damage the possibility of prosecuting some of the lawbreakers.  I don't know if that's really a worry or not; I do know that if it causes enough people to blow  up and kick the ass of their congresscritter to actually get something DONE about it, it might be worth if.

Dammit! I just found out

someone made a stuffed honey badger that, when you squeezed its paw, made appropriate comments!

And they don't make it anymore...

There's trouble in Obama-worship land

Faculty at the University of Chicago have joined a growing chorus of Chicagoans voicing alarm and anger over the planned Obama Presidential Center, set to be built in a sprawling historic park in the south side of the city.
Wanting to take over the park, plus the costs and other problems.  One of the 'We'll fix it' ideas is to make the parking an underground garage; I wonder how many millions that'll add to the price?


How'd it happen?  Besides the general 'abuse of authority because we hate Trump' crap?  Yep: they figured they'd get away with it, and be rewarded for doing it.  Hell with a few people resigning, if there's not a MAJOR cleaning-out of both the EffingBI and DoJ, they'll just be papering over the problem and telling people "You can't trust us."

One of the Joe Leaphorn novels, he's reflecting on working with the FBI and thinks that there's only two things that'll really get an agent in trouble: doing anything that brings even a tiny bit of bad publicity to the Bureau, and having an original thought.  From the evidence of the past while, the 'bad publicity' part wasn't a big problem anymore, as long as you were doing it for the right political party.

Pretty soon we just might be singing "Another one bites the dust"

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was forced to resign Monday, just as the House Intelligence Committee is expected to vote on the public release of a classified memo this afternoon revealing extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse under the Obama administration, sources told this reporter.
Seems to be some argument between 'forced' and 'retired'.  Considering the level of crap we know he's been involved in, if it was 'forced' it's because the current Director hoped to start trying to limit the damage.  If so, too damned late, dumbass.

Current and former FBI officials said McCabe’s resignation is the beginning of more resignations to come.
That would be good, but best would be 'resigned just before their arrests'.
“There are people lining up in the bureau to go after McCabe,” said a former FBI official, with knowledge. “There will be a clean up at the Bureau of his cronies.”
A: I'll believe it when it happens.
B: What about all the OTHER corrupt bastard's cronies?

A printed suppressor, with an unusual shape

This could be real interesting.

More I read about Jordan Peterson, the more I like him.


This asshole is a teacher.  Wonderful.


Standing firm on the principle of supporting constitutional rights such as free speech and due process, one will invariably be called the nastiest words the SJWs can muster, the worst of which is Trumpkin. After all, that’s what any heretic who fails to confess their sins and succumb to the overwhelming emotions of the progressive scolds must be. It’s infected colleges. From there, society. And that includes the law.


Never forget: we're a moving target in the biggest shooting gallery of all.


Why?  Because both ladies are on the wrong political side; therefore the 'feminists' would happily see them destroyed.


Crap.  Is this "A really odd occurrence" or "Oh, crap, who turned it back on?"


Sounds like a bunch of officers need to lose their rank.  At the least.

And now, I'm tired and need to clean up and fall over.

Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day

And it needs to be remembered.  It also needs to be subtitled 'Remember that it was Socialists who did this'

Saturday night, and a bit chillier

But no rain, dammit.  Ah well, time to get to the new material

I never find stuff like this in the attic

An important twelfth-century Japanese sword, discovered hidden in the ceiling during a 1939 refurbishment of the treasure house at Kasuga Taisha shrine in Nara, will now be put on display.
And a lovely thing it is.

Looks like the situation in Sweden is getting harder and harder to gloss over

Sweden is among the world’s safest, richest and best-run countries enjoying steady growth and rising employment. But it has been experiencing an unprecedented surge of bombings and sexual assaults.

In a country of 10m people, more than 320 shootings and dozens of bombings were reported in 2017, along with more than 110 murders and 7,226 rapes — a 10% increase on 2016. More than 36% of young Swedish women say they feel unsafe at night.
Whyever might that be?
The crime surge is mainly confined to so-called “areas of social exclusion”, a code for neighbourhoods such as Rosengard that are predominantly populated by immigrants. They are not classic ghettos — the infrastructure and services are better than in areas of central London — but these communities are plagued by high crime rates and unemployment.

In Malmo, where a fifth of the 340,000 inhabitants are under 18, children as young as 14 roam the streets with Kalashnikov assault rifles and bulletproof vests.
In Sweden.  Multi-culti 'all cultures are equal' and 'They have solved the gun problem!' Sweden.


From another article:
Last month, even the New York Times got into the act. Sort of. On December 10, it reported on a Molotov cocktail attack on a Gothenburg synagogue. Of course, being the Times, it managed to sidestep the words Muslim and Islam even though it was clear what was going on: “about 10 young people...began setting fire to objects and throwing them at the synagogue”; the cops “arrested three men in their 20s”; this followed an anti-Israel protest in which participants waved “Palestinian flags” and “yelled that they were going to shoot Jews” and threatened a Malmö “intifada” in Arabic.

Wonder how long the "There is no problem, and anyone who says there is will be arrested!" crap is going to continue, with stuff like this happening more and more?

Interesting...

This looks like Trump is about to kick the Democrats in the ass again.  Those under DACA would not get to pass legal immigrants to get in, they'd have to keep their record clean, no chain immigration, and more border controls...

He wasn't my choice, but I'll admit he's been a lot better than I'd hoped, on a number of things.

And he drives the progzis nuts on a number of subjects; I swear, if he said 'Drinking more water is good for you!' there'd be a flurry of "STOP DRINKING WATER!  TRUMPHITLER LIKES WATER" screams going around.

Friday night, and we'll see how the weather goes

In any case, more study material has arrived

Judges and prosecutors who need to be flogged, then hanged

The criminal justice system's treatment of Tigano is appalling. During his nearly seven-year pretrial incarceration, Tigano loudly and repeatedly invoked his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. Because Tigano kept bringing up the Sixth Amendment, he was forced to undergo three separate court-ordered examinations to determine whether he was competent to be tried. According to one of the prosecutors involved in the case, "Mr. Tigano III had been sort of demanding his speedy trial, which is part of the prompting for the Court sending him out for this evaluation." Tigano passed all three exams with flying colors.
For demanding the 6th be followed?  Mental exams?
Tigano's ordeal illuminates a much bigger problem. Consider what Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Duszkiewicz had to say about the third competency examination that Tigano was forced to undergo. It was sparked "not necessarily [by] the competency question," Duszkiewicz said, "but [by] whether there is some other psychological problem that's going to prevent [Tigano] from understanding the difference between what he potentially looks at as far as a conviction as well as what's being offered by way of this plea."

Translation: Federal prosecutors piled on the charges expecting Tigano to plead guilty to a lesser offense and save everybody the trouble of going to trial. The prosecutors also let it be known that if Tigano rejected their deal, they would throw the book at him and he would forfeit his shot at "what's being offered by way of this plea." In short, sacrifice your Sixth Amendment rights and you'll do less time.
Hang the bastards.  Every damned one of them.

I keep seeing former EffingBI agents saying

"The Republicans just want to damage the Bureau", or "are harming the Bureau's ability to do its job", and so forth.

Be nice if they made some statements about the slimeballs in the sacred Bureau who are the CAUSE of all this crap.

Because enough idiots are in Denver, and they're led by fools

who probably "Praise Science!" but think they can legislate changes.
The Green Roof Initiative, or Initiative 300, mandates new and existing buildings, 25,000 square feet or more, include a green roof or a combination of green roof and solar energy.

Brandon Rietheimer, the campaign manager who gathered signatures to get the Denver Green Roof Initiative onto the ballot, says he was inspired by Bernie Sanders's climate message.(well, there's part of the problem- and evidence of stupid- right there) According to Rietheimer, the initiative is designed to combat the Urban Heat Island effect where rooftops, pavement, parking lots and roads absorb the sun's rays.

"What we're trying to do is really return the city to pre-development conditions by adding green space and that will lower temperatures," he said.
'pre-development conditions'.  He actually thinks roof gardens will do that...

And the stupid continues:
Both sides of the issue acknowledge up-front costs of green roofs are expensive. According to estimates from real estate and construction experts, green roofs in Colorado could cost $25 to 35 per square foot (not including plants, water costs or maintenance), compared to $15 a square foot for standard, thermoplastic polyolefin single-ply (TPO) roofing with flashings.
Note: that's to build a new roof, NOT to retrofit a new one.
But Rietheimer said there is a return on investment of six years for green roofs and roof longevity is doubled, or even tripled.
Maybe.  ON NEW ROOFS.  And I'm wondering where he got those numbers, because they sound like bullshit.

And, hey, Colorado is a place where you can be fined for catching rainwater in a barrel; I wonder how they're going to deal with buildings trapping all that rainwater on the roof(until they collapse, at least)?

Jeez.

Because all the actual problems are solved.

Or it's just that Californicated is run by effing idiots, which is far more likely.

Hey, Zuckerbitch, part of the plan or just some minions overstepping?


"I didn't mean I should pay more in taxes!"

Things like this are why someone announcing 'Child Protective Services'

should result in locking the door and calling a lawyer.  Possibly opening fire.

EVERY idiot involved in this, from the cops to the CPS clowns, should be fired.  And the CPS clowns should then be flogged through the town, and then hanged.
“The social workers did not have reasonable cause to believe the children were at risk of serious bodily harm or molestation,” a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit wrote. “Therefore, viewing the record most favorably to the Demarees, the defendants acted unconstitutionally in taking the three children away from home without judicial authorization.”
And just how did that happen?
...Anticipating child exploitation charges to be brought, she decided to take the children into emergency temporary custody. Though she lacked a court order or warrant, her supervisor approved the decision. The two older children were driven to one foster home, the 18-month-old to another, according to court documents. Eventually, they were moved to their grandparents’ house.
Whipping post.  Whip.  Noose.  CPS clowns; some assembly required.

How effing stupid and 'sensitive' are people? (Link fixed)

This effing stupid.

Few days ago

rolled the bike out, because the next couple of days would be good riding weather.

Find nail in back tire.

Hunt around, find new tire, get installed.

This morning, drop tire gauge.  Then find it's reading wonky. 

Joy.

Ma Nature's about to give a reminder

of who really runs the planet.

I once read some idiot claim that 'man can do more damage to the environment than any natural event can!'  I asked if that included, say, the Deccan Traps, or Toba; never got an answer.

Is there ANYONE at high level in the EffingBI who isn't a corrupt bastard?

Court documents recently filed by the government further rock the credibility of Russia Special Counsel Robert Mueller because they show that as FBI Director Mueller he worked to cover up the connection between a Florida Saudi family and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The documents reveal that Mueller was likely involved in publicly releasing deceptive official agency statements about a secret investigation of the Saudis, who lived in Sarasota, with ties to the hijackers. A Florida journalism nonprofit uncovered the existence of the secret FBI investigation that was also kept from Congress. 

Under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI tried to discredit the story, publicly countering that agents found no connection between the Sarasota Saudi family and the 2001 terrorist plot. The reality is that the FBI’s own files contained several reports that said the opposite, according to the Ft. Lauderdale-based news group’s ongoing investigation. Files obtained by reporters in the course of their lengthy probe reveal that federal agents found “many connections” between the family and “individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.” The FBI was forced to release the once-secret reports because the news group sued in federal court when the information wasn’t provided under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
This is the piece of shit the Democrats and never-Trumpers are so desperate to keep running the 'collusion with Russia' investigation.

I'll throw in: is there ANYONE running ANY federal agency(especially IRS, FBI, ATF, NSA, CIA) who can be trusted about ANYTHING?

Well, isn't she a wonderful little islamist?

A former St. Catherine University student charged with setting fires on the college’s St. Paul campus told police she did it because she’d “been reading about the U.S. military destroying schools in Iraq or Afghanistan and she felt that she should do exactly the same thing,” according to a criminal complaint filed Friday.


So the Democrats have come up with a lovely idea—sure, we’ll let you pay the troops. Just give us DACA. Or, to translate this so it’s unadorned—we’ll let you pay the people who protect America as long as you institute a key policy for destroying America. If the Democrats were laying siege to a castle—which in some ways is exactly what they’re doing, since they seek, essentially, to starve our military into submission— this would be something like saying “we’ll be happy to break our siege, as soon as you open the gates and let us in”.


Heard about this interview the other day, and if you want a fine example of why 'journalist' has become a cuss word, here it is.  It's... amazing.  The title is "Why Can't People Hear What Jordan Peterson Is Saying?", and the answer is 'Because the journalists don't like what he's saying, and lie about it.'

San Francisco PD: "We don't care about you, but

someone steals from Apple and all stops are off!"

Really, you morons?  And if one of your idiots had killed one of the family, would we hear "I saw his hand move and felt we were in danger" or some other excuse?

So now "Make those messages disappear before anyone sees them!" is now

'failed to preserve the messages'.

Is there anyone out there who still trusts the EffingBI about anything? 
And if there is, what the hell is wrong with them?
