Nice yesterday, but turned into a nasty Friday out there;

guess what that means?

Professional Journalism...

Yell "White supremacist!" and they'll follow you anywhere.

Do ANY of these dickheads remember what being a 'reporter' was? 

More on the ethical people at the Do'J'

Bruce Ohr, the Department of Justice official who brought opposition research on President Donald Trump to the FBI, did not disclose that Fusion GPS, which performed that research at the Democratic National Committee’s behest, was paying his wife, and did not obtain a conflict of interest waiver from his superiors at the Justice Department, documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show.
And I'm sure someone at the Do'J' will whine that talking about this is damaging to the good people at the agency.  Just like the asshats at the EffingBI whine about bad morale because people are talking about the crap they've been up to.

Hey, morons, try cleaning house in your own agency, then people won't have to talk about all the criminals, and unethical bastards you're working with.

Few things before I start loading

The school board of Bethel District needs its collective ass kicked.


Ah, the NYeffingTimes: run by asshats.


Rolling Stone settles with some of its victims, but some of the guilty got away with their crap.


More of the wondrous NHS that Obama & Co. want us all under.


What is it with Democrats hanging out with politically-correct racists?


I think that catches all that stuff up, catch you later.

I have a chance to try something out

It requires some .357 Mag ammo, which I'm short on.

To the press!

Nothing but theft under color of law,

and they're willing to say anything to try to prevent their theft being stopped.

And this crap:
Meanwhile, sending the proceeds of forfeiture to the state's General Fund would result in fewer busts of drug and stolen property rings. What incentive would local police and sheriffs have to invest manpower, resources and time in these operations if they don't receive proceeds to cover their costs?
Ah, how about the incentive of DOING YOUR DAMNED JOB?  USING THE MONEY BUDGETED TO YOU?

Bastards.  Bastards and thieves.

When you find yourself threatening to find more reasons to put even more citizens in jail in order to protect your revenue stream, it's maybe time to take a step back and think about what you're doing.
Oh, they know what they're doing; and they don't want to be stopped.

Somewhere, ominous music is playing...

When Iceberg A68 calved off from Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf in July 2017, it exposed an entire underwater ecosystem that had been covered by the Delaware-sized chunk of ice for 120,000 years. 

Now, a team of scientists is set to travel to the remote Larsen C Ice Shelf in order to explore the 2,246 mysterious square miles that the trillion-ton iceberg left in its wake.

A Dillon story

I've got a Square Deal B press I picked up used, oh, eight or ten years ago.  I've loaded a bleepload of 9mm and .45acp with it since.  And, as you might imagine, it needed some work.

So I e-mailed Dillon and asked about getting it worked on.  "$67.95 to strip, clean, replace anything that needs it, lube, and adjust.  Includes shipping back to you.  You can send payment or we'll call when it's done."  So I packed it up and sent it, asking for the 'call when done'.

Less than three weeks later UPS dropped a box on the porch.  And the thing looks new, and is smoother than when I picked it up.  Charge sheet inside listing everything replaced and the final bill: $0.

'Nice' is understatement.

So, which one is lying this time: Rice or Comey?

We also learn from Grassley and Graham's letter that former FBI director and self-identified moral compass James Comey may have lied to Congress about this meeting with President Obama.

If Rice’s email is accurate, Comey may have seriously misled Congress about his meetings with Obama.
Dated June 8, 2017, Comey’s “Statement for the Record” provided to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, notes, “I have tried to include information that may be relevant to the committee.”
Comey clearly did not find the January 5, 2017 meeting to be particularly relevant.

In other words, on January 5, 2017, an Oval Office meeting occurred between then-FBI director Comey, the soon-to-be-former president of the United States (Obama), his soon-to-be-former Vice-President (Biden), then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice and soon-to-be Acting Attorney General Sally Yates–and Comey apparently viewed this meeting as irrelevant to congressional investigators.

I mean come on, people. This stinks to high hell.
(Yes, I know, it's probably both)


The noise about Flynn lying?  Slight problem with the narrative.


At some point, there's going to be B-52s flying low-earth-orbit missions.  Much like the Army will have a hovertank with a energy-beam main gun, but there'll still be a M2HB in front of the commander's hatch.

Remember the "Poor people can't afford to cook!" idiot?

The ILoH deals with him in the worst possible way: sics his mom on the bastard.

I've got nothing this morning

Possible bitching and yelling later.

Well, that's interesting

Can get to Bookface, so found the ATT page and asked about the web problem. 
Quick response, "Please tell us a little more so we can fix this."
Describe the problem, including having tried a different browser.
Silence.
Usually you'd get a 'We're working on it', this time not a thing.  This doesn't seem good.

Apparently the interwebs spiders are drunk this morning,

as there are holes in the webs.  Something major must be happening somewhere.

Damn, it's cold out there.

No, I don't care what it is in North Dakota, for here it's cold. 

Few better evenings come along to sit back and work on your studies.

This must be a day for stories about stupid

For her "norm" Arnold picked social media use, and for her country she chose Australia.

But when Arnold got her grade back on Feb. 1, she was shocked to see her professor had failed her. Why? Because, according to the teacher, "Australia is a continent; not a country."
Someone tell Tim Blair.

I will gladly re-examine your week 2 milestone project report.

But before I do I want you to understand that any error in a project can invalidate the entire research project.

Research is like dominoes, if you accidentally knock over one piece the entire set will also fall.

Australia is a continent; it is not a country. That error made it nearly impossible for you to accurately complete your week 2 research outline correctly.

As I mentioned above I will look over your week two paper once again and see if you earned more credits than I gave you.
Apparently a PhD in philosophy doesn't require any knowledge of geography.

This level of stupid and ignorance combined is...

well, 'amazing' is understatement.

And she wants to write laws about things of which she is this ignorant.  And stupid.

As Californicated moves further down the drain

“You can’t even contemplate getting into the housing market here,” Hancock said. “And I don’t mean just service workers, I mean highly skilled professionals. The tech elite are having a hard time affording reasonable housing in Silicon Valley. So this is difficult, this makes it very difficult for employers trying to recruit.”

Operators of a San Jose U-Haul business say one of their biggest problems is getting its rental moving vans back because so many are on a one-way ticket out of town.
Ignore the political crap and taxes, and consider this:
She plans to sell her home for about $1 million, buy a much larger place near Nashville for less than half that and retire closer to family and friends.
All by itself, that's a big incentive.  Then you throw in the tax differences, and politics, and you make that BIG incentive to get the hell out.

And I'm sure the progzis will cheer people like her leaving, and then raise taxes on everyone left to make up for the losses, and then wonder why even more people say "Screw this" and leave.

I have a message for our Attorney General:

Go fuck yourself with a splintery old shovel handle.

And those DEA agents who terrify doctors with "You're prescribing too much/too strong painkillers"?  The same.  I hope they all wind up with some horribly painful injury and not be allowed anything but aspirin.

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed about this.

Nice day, but damn! it turned cold out there

February in Oklahoma: cold, little warmer, damn cold, quite warm, cold, etc.  Which is why there's a few extra bits of data tonight; to distract from the yuck.
