The DoJ is only stiff-arming Congressional committees. We don;t know much beyond that. I don't trust the press reports about "why" and what the FBI is sharing with Mueller, if anything.
How 'Bout That Tribe?
Obviously we deplore their insensitive name but go, Cleveland! On to 22! I suppose that since I am a Yankee loyalist a brief explanation is in order. The last few baseball regular seasons have not ended with my guys in the payoffs so I made it a habit to jump on the bandwagon of some other Ameri...
See President Trump's Full Interview With Lester Holt - May 11, 2017, which the press chronically misrepresents. In that interview, President Trump says he wants the investigation to continue, hence it is nonsense to say that Trump admitted in the Holt interview, that he fired Comey to make the investigation stop.

Marlene - when licking the frog just isn't enough. Watch your fur baby for more hallucinations than usual.
Say What? Fair And Balanced At The NY Times?
OK, the charity case NY Times is trying to keep me off balance with off-speed pitches. Or something. NYTimes staff writer Bari Weiss delivers a calm, thoughtful assessment of Ben Shapiro's upcoming Brawl to Settle It All at Berkeley. OK, she sometimes merely alludes to points that, in my well-th...
FWIW, a trick I sometime use to get past the paywall (works great on NYT) is to visit the site with "lynx," a text-only browser.
WaPo and NYT should experiment increasing readership using a trick akin to the trick liberals use to increase employment - increase the minimum wage. Why I'll bet if NYT cost say a buck per article, their revenue and influence would skyrocket. No more failing, no more charity.

The Russians Were Coming!
Scott Shane of the Charity Case NY Times covers the breaking news from Twin Falls Idaho, where Russian interference led to a four person rally in a state Trump won by 31%. Mr. Shane omits the "four person" detail, which admittedly is based on a Facebook guess, not crowd photographs or even a pho...
Well isn't that great timing. I'm in Toulouse all next week. Look at the bright side, the attack is "out of the way."

The thing about Hillary, is that her mind set is typical among the professional political class. She just lacks charisma. And the smidgen of smarts it takes to hide sociopathy.
Wha' Happened - Quotes From Beyond The Grave
Ace compiles some instant classics from the new Hillarity whinge, "What Happened". I think this should be disqualifying, although of great interest to followers of The Omen: Hillary claims to be a Christian yet can't distinguish between a vampire and the AntiChrist? Boy, that's a revelation. B...
GUS - Ayup. "Dear FBI, 'Integrity' doesn't mean what you think it means."
RHIP, and they all have rank.

The professional political class finds NWO to be an inevitable and good thing. "Nationalism" is considered a dirty principle. This political evolution has been going on for hundreds of years. In the US, manifested by ascendancy of FedGov over state govs starting in earnest with Woodrow Wilson.
At the same time, all claim to be "pro-America." The open borders advocates assert their preferred policy is pro-America. Some with single payer health care, "pro-America."

I'm not confident that Ms. Awan is any big catch, immunity or not. She probably likes living in the US better than living in Poke-ee-stahn, and got a "good deal" to return. Not saying she isn't a criminal, just saying she may be in the dark about her hubby's espionage. She gets immunity, and he gets tagged with theft of services and equipment - BFD.

Hurricane Watch
This National Hurricane Center page is updated every three hours as it tracks Irma and projects the five day cone. As of 5PM on Thursday, this is terrifying. Sunday seems to be Judgment Day.
Going to be messy, and not just the storm. A substantial number of criminals being displaced when clearing Miami and certain points nearby. There will be a surplus of looters - at least to start.

LOL at wisdom from kids. A future negotiator in there, "If you want a kitten, start out by asking for a horse." Okay, well, what if you want a horse?

It's too bad the old knowledge about universal suffrage has been lost, replaced with holding it to be good and valuable. Stable societies are stingy with the vote, not generous with it.
Schadenfreude Overload, or, "RESIST!"
I don't know if the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" crowd is capable of embarrassment but this headline blows me away: Hurricane Irma just slammed into Trump’s Caribbean estate — and is headed toward his Florida properties I guess when life hands you lemons, make gin and tonics, amirite? And isn't ...
Maybe Irma can flood the swamp. More than one way to eradicate the parasites.

Rickie Lee Jones remembers Walter Becker
It is September now. That fall will never come. I cannot tell you why his death has hit me so hard. I have seen a few friends go, but they are not close. People I go to see often. Something about this passing hurts.
Back To The DNC Hack
The Nation recently ran an article noting some technical reason to suspect that one of the the alleged DNC "hacks" was really an inside leak. A key point - the apparent transfer speed of the hacked files exceeded the capabilities of a conventional internet connection but were well with the range...
"Not on the field" or "off the field." There are a few people who hang out there. Coaches, ball/bat boy, next up batter, umpires.
The rest of the players are in dugouts or "the pen" where pitchers are warming up. The spectators are in the stands.
North Korea With A Better Bomb?
North Korea with a missile ready hydrogen bomb? OMG. With that in mind this hardly seems like the time for the US to walk away from its trade deal with South Korea. However, in an odd way this could develop favorably: if the US relationship with South Korea seems rocky China might see a diplomat...
MM - thanks. I was going to ask about text of statement. This has a sort of "Cuban missile crisis" feel to it. At some point, events are going to spiral out of control. I don't foresee NK backing down.

Donald Fagen's Tribute to Steely Dan's Walter Becker - Rolling Stone
He concludes ...
I intend to keep the music we created together alive as long as I can with the Steely Dan band.

Thanks for that "Peg" music theory piece. I can't recall watching anything of Fagen explaining while at the keyboard, and that was both musically fascinating, and technically impressive as he naturally switches between scales and chords to make his points.

Matt Labash, writing in the Weekly Standard, spends time with a right-wing provocateur and meets the antifa. Berkeley As white supremacists go, Joey Gibson makes for a lousy one. For starters, he’s half Japanese. “I don’t feel like I’m Caucasian at all,” he says. Not to be a stickler for the rul...
Ext - I have a huge respect for SD music. many people dislike it, but that's music for you. Perfectionists, and often played pros "against each other" until they had the track that suited them.

Ignatz - exactly. NK isn't truly isolated, any more than California is. It is approximately a state of China.
Westerners have little appreciation for the eastern mind and culture. Generally, they do not see or act as "individuals." Many things abhorrent to western thought (e.g., massive loss of life in service to the hive) are natural and normal to eastern thought.

MM - Fox and the rest of them are trying to put Trump on the hook of NK only understanding military force - as saber rattling. It's part of insinuating that Trump drew a red line and didn't enforce it. Then they will say Trump is a hypocrite for criticizing Obama.
