Regarding the FBI and "right-wing extremists".
The FBI currently defines "right-wing" as "anti-goverment". Anarchists have always been defined as anti-government. Ergo: Antifa and their ilk are right-wing.
Jim Geraghty On Impeachment
Strong stuff from Jim Geraghty.
As I read it, even Thomas and Alito would not have granted the relief sought by TX, but would have heard the case.
They Like It!
The FDA advisory panel pondered the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID vaccine and recommended an Emergency Use Authorization by a 17-4 vote. I'd be curious to know what prompted four No votes. since this vaccine looks to be safe and effective in what is clearly an emergency situation. Let's roll up those sl...
A ball very few have kept their eye on: by 12/18 the Intelligence Community owes Trump its assessment of foreign involvement in the election. Gina?
Nuke The President!
The State Dept has concluded, in a no-longer-secret report, that some of our diplomats abroad were nuked: WASHINGTON — The most probable cause of a series of mysterious afflictions that sickened American spies and diplomats abroad in the past several years was radiofrequency energy, a type of ra...
Just read that Sidney Powell blew through the UNC undergrad program in less than two years - PBK. Earned her UNC law degree at 23. Working class kid.
Just A Head Fake
Hmm, the kraken appears to have been released from a hamster cage. In scathing opinion, federal judge dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania Republican party "leaders" are continuing their slow-rolling intervention. Rep. Senator Toomey of PA praises the Federal judge as "a longtime con...
Anyone interested in triangulating from the Sydney Powell dot and the Michael Flynn dot to the Frankfurt server dot might want to do a web search for "defense intelligence kraken".

Apropos of something (I'm pretty sure) Trump made an intriguing comment at a rally 2-3 weeks back. In the middle of one of his signature riffs, totally out of context, he said "Whatever happens, I want you to know that Bob Barr is a wonderful human being. He doesn't want to hurt anybody." I'm confident that my recollection here is nearly verbatim.
Is There A Winner?
Seems like its Contention 4, America 0, but who knows? Biden been declared the winner, there are too many states that aren't that close, but Trump hasn't quit. Maybe Trump will follow the Hillary 2016 playbook - after conceding the race she joined a no-hope recount effort just to assure her supp...
Don't recall who here mentioned Judge Ada Brown for SCOTUS yesterday, but I like her chances. I don't see any downside with her (although there must be one) and as a nominee at this moment in history she would be the Dem's worst nightmare: Female, Black/Chocktaw, Mensa, and recommended by the Federalist Society, the ABA, and Ted Cruz. Bring it.
Kind of a BFD
Eli Lilly's new monoclonal antibody therapy for COVID seems to succeed at mitigating COVID when administered early: A single infusion of an experimental drug markedly reduced levels of the coronavirus in newly infected patients and lowered the chances that they would need hospitalization, the dr...
He was training his juvenile daughter to be good Antifa.
Deficits As Far As The Eye Can See
The NY Times ponders the national debt, which is poised to surpass 100% of GDP. But even long-time deficit hawks admit that this is the srt of economic emergency that ought to be met with deficit spending (I agree!). But why do deficits matter? Well, if Biden is elected Republicans will trot out...
BTW Ted Wheeler is a Trust Fund Brat with three very nice homes. Used to be a Republican. His dad and grand-dad were huge in the timber biz.

I live 12 crow-miles SW of Antifa Central. There has been a major escalation of Federal presence this week. I think the Guv is tacitly on-board.

Portland's Antifa hit man reportedly shot and killed by U.S. Marshals.

There are reports this evening (Andy Ngo, et al) that Trump has deputized Oregon State Police as Federal Marshals and sent them into Portland to enforce Federal law. Smooth move, if true.
Self Defense In Portland Shooting?
Per the Times video analysis, it may be the case that the shooter was about to be maced by the victim. But who drew first? The livestream shows the man in white walking by himself toward the Justice Center and crossing the street one block south. One minute and 43 seconds later, Mr. Dunlap turns...
Anyone here surprised to discover that Althouse is more sensible and centered than Maguire?

Shooter hasn't been publicly identified yet, but Andy Ngo says he knows who he is. APPEARS to be a cold-blooded execution of an obvious Trump supporter.
Shooting It Out In The Streets
One man, a right-wing Trump supporter, fatally shot in Portland.
Could be a special Saturday night in Portland. A "Trump Cruise" caravan of as estimated 500 vehicles (including big rig tractors) is currently headed for downtown.
Please Let This Be A Slow News Day
Here we go again. Do Let Me Add: The quote du jour comes from Marcus Aurelius by way of Andrew Sullivan: In the current chaos, I’ve come to appreciate Marcus Aurelius’s maxim that “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insa...

Only one still flying, apparently. Impressive ship.
Can't Fight The Establishment
The final Senate report on Russian Collusion does not help Trump. With time I'd try to figure whether this is mostly serious or mostly a lifeline by Mitch to endangered swing-state Republicans. Senate Intelligence Committee Releases Final Report From Russia Investigation Committee made DOJ refer...

"Huge orange flying boat rises off the lake, thousand year-old petroglyphs do a double-take."

jim nj @ 0205 AM (!)
That article triggered one of my pet hobby horses by focusing on just the "American" slaves. Given that "we" imported a mere 4-6% of the TransAtlantic slaves, the inferences are silly.
Biden's VP Pick
Per Politico there is no obvious pick for Biden's as VP. Instead, its the "Yes, but..." list. Biden's VP shortlist comes up short Plenty of the contenders are fine or even good. But all of them come with a “but” attached. “There is no one ideal home run choice,” one adviser says. I find this ins...

Are you not at all concerned about QT interval?
Away We Go
It feels like 100 degrees out there and baseball opening day is coming soon!
7.62 NATO (AKA .308 for the partially initiated). From your earlier post, I thought that's what you recently bought.
Keeping NYC Safe For Birdwatchers
NYC saw a shocking spike in shootings and killings over the 4th of July weekend but the Manhattan DA has kept his eye on the ball: Amy Cooper, who called police on Black Central Park bird watcher, to be prosecuted, Manhattan DA says Phew! If Ms. Cooper gets an all-white Upper West Side jury she ...

Memories. Many moons ago, I owned a Model 88 in the same caliber. Great deer rifle.

Occasional CV-19 update from Oregon. Still looks like we hit peak hospitalization around 20 March. Death total now at 48, with 46 positives currently on ventilators. New hospitalizations holding at 1-2 per day.
Good Friday
Another somber day.
