Welp – here’s where the “rubber meets the road” – suiting up to go support our young HEROs in COURT today – OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-RAH!!
and oh yea GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUBS!!!!!!! -
Good morning Hamsters. Still mostly dark and 67 with plenty of humidity. We get our hour back on Sunday so it will be less mostly dark in the morning for a while and very mostly dark at supper time.
Yea Katfish.
So we await today’s WikiLeaks breaking news and any and all news events from other quarters to further demoralize (if they had any morals) the lunatic Left. Kinda fun to watch the MSM scramble to find any shred of anything to tout to distract from the debacle’s steady growth. Just when you think the bottom has been reached, another and bigger leak appears. And the populace gets even more enraged. And shows up to vote. ๐ -
The rank and file FBI have had enough.
HEADLINE: Clinton camp questions FBI release of Marc Rich pardon files
/snip
The records are heavily redacted and donโt appear to shed significant new light on the pardon-related probe. It was widely reported at the time that Mary Jo White, then U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, launched a grand jury investigation into whether Richโs ex-wife, Denise, procured the pardon by making donations to Democratic Party accounts and the Clinton Foundation.
Despite the lack of major revelations in the documents, which constitute only a part of the FBIโs files on the inquiry, the atmospherics in the records are unhelpful to the Clinton campaign. The records repeatedly refer to the probe being handled by the โPublic Corruption Unitโ and make clear that the FBI was examining claims that Denise Richโs Democratic Party โdonations may have been intended to influence the fugitiveโs pardon.โ
โIt appears that the required pardon standards and procedures were not followed,โ the internal FBI memos said.The FBI is making it clear, in their own way, that the corruption of the first Clinton admin will be far more obnoxious in the second, should there be one.
This little tidbit should not be ignored either:The investigation was eventually handed off to Comey, who was White’s successor as U.S. attorney. Comey elected not to seek any charges in the case.
I believe that this is the same Comey who hounded Scooter Libbey about the Valerie Plame affair when he already knew that Richard Armitage was the leaker.

I’m amazed, as information continues to flow forth concerning hiliary scandals day in and day out how many people declare that they will never vote for Trump because he said something bad about Ted Cruz family or something. We get the government we deserve. Despite our wishes, there are only two legitimate candidates, and as a voter, I only get to pick one. so, with the best interest of my country in mind, I’ll do the best that I can. And let me add, regardless of the consequences, DA Anderson must be dislodged.
-
And, regardless of which side you are on, James Comey has discredited himself and the once proud FBI. He should step aside immediately. He failed to conduct a complete investigation of hiliary last summer, announced he was not going to act, and then found new evidence. That sounds like something a female DA would do or something. We are better than that.

Today, Duolingo tells me I have a flat hat.
It’s hard as heck to keep that thing perched atop this curly mop of mine. -
Oooooh, I first read that as “a flat head”. Was having troubling visualizing what you were trying to keep perched on your curls. ๐

Well now, this ain’t something we hear about every day:
HEADLINE: Saudi prince is flogged and jailed, two weeks after another prince was beheaded for murder
A prince of Saudi Arabia’s ruling family has been flogged in prison in Jeddah as a court-ordered punishment, less than a month after the kingdom executed another prince for murder.
The unidentified prince was also jailed after receiving lashes for an unspecified crime, according to a brief report in Saudi Arabia’s Okaz daily paper.
The flogging was carried out by a policeman on Monday after medical checks to ensure the prince was healthy, the paper added.Aren’t they so kind and benevolent. . . . .making sure that the prince was healthy enough to have the $#!t beat out of him. Charming folks.

Huma, meet the underside of the Clinton Bus:
HEADLINE: Uh oh: Hillary now calling Huma Abedin โone of my staffersโ; Bill soon to be known as โsome guy I met a while backโ
from the commentary:
Truesoldier BoomerNuke โข 18 minutes ago
Exactly. She knew exactly what she was getting into and has been the Clinton “Gate Keeper” for quite some time. She is knee deep in this mess.
And her ties to the MB brings up other questions. Hillary said she deleted 33,000 emails and turned over aprox 22,000 more for a total of 55,000. Podesta’s Wikileaks emails are roughly 65,000 in total according to Wiki leaks. That account for 120,000 out of 650,000 emails, meaning that there were 530,000 emails left. Let’s assume that Weiner accounts for say another 50,000 and Huma had 50,000 no work related (high number I know but just for the sake of argument). That still leaves 430,000 emails.
So did Hillary lie about how many emails she deleted (probably)? But even that would not account for an additional 430,000 emails. Jihad Watch reported that in the FBI email notes State Dept personnel said that Huma was forwarding emails to her personal gmail account. So what were in those emails? She had a security clearance so it is quite possible that she was forwarding classified information to her gmail other than that already found in Hillary’s emails.
And that brings us back to her ties to the MB.It is noose tightening time now for Clots as the FBI has all the files. Comey can no longer protect the CCF no matter how much they bribe/threaten him. The career FBI agents will not let this go and even if Clots (or Soros) manages to steal the election, this will not go away. Lynch is in jeopardy as well, even if she is still AG under a Clots admin. We could be on the cusp of a political bloodbath.
We are living in interesting times indeed. -
If you have Adobe Flash Player enabled on your computer, please TURN IT OFF.
Just consider having Flash Player on the same as leaving your front door unlocked when you leave home.Microsoft says that a vulnerability in Windows made public by Google has been exploited by a hacking group with links to Russia. The group — known variously as Strontium, Fancy Bear, and APT 28 — has executed several spear phishing attacks, the company says.
Google discovered this and published it without notifying Microsoft. The patch won’t be ready till next week.
Threat Intelligence
Recently, the activity group that Microsoft calls STRONTIUM conducted a low-volume spear-phishing campaign. Customers using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Anniversary Update are known to be protected from versions of this attack observed in the wild. This attack campaign, originally identified by Googleโs Threat Analysis Group, used two zero-day vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash and the down-level Windows kernel to target a specific set of customers.
We have coordinated with Google and Adobe to investigate this malicious campaign and to create a patch for down-level versions of Windows. Along these lines, patches for all versions of Windows are now being tested by many industry participants, and we plan to release them publicly on the next Update Tuesday, Nov 8.It’s fairly easy to do in the Chrome browser and even easier in Firefox.

Thinking that way is what got us into the problem we’re in now. -

RE: Spear phishing attacks
You would be better served by not using your email. The bad guys have to trick you into going to as website to install malware surreptitiously onto your computer to identify your computer to use flash in a bad way.
The next best thing is to get a Mac. I can pick and choose what sites I can use flash on. All banking sites require flash WHICH IS STUPID. They should be using HTML 5. Youtube requires flash. As you can see getting rid of flash is really problematic. Oh and in Windoze 10……………. flash is bolted to the operating system now as is edge and other proggies. You no longer have the choice to install it or not.
The absolute best thing a person can do is throw out all their computers and smart phones and game machines, telephones tvs refrigerators electricity meters to protect themselves. Welcome to 1984 -
Poor Hillary. She woke up to find out VA, NH, and CO had moved into toss up states while GA moved from toss up to Trump and now this:

Flash can be disabled on a Win7 computer. Then anything that wants to run Flash has to prompt you to specifically start it up manually, from a right-click menu. I’ve been setup that way for a couple of years. Flash used to crash all the time in tabs that weren’t even in the foreground, then I’d have to go close or restart them.
-
Hmm. My little ole bank doesn’t require flash.
-
YouTube hasn’t required flash in some time.

Hamous says:
Hmm. My little ole bank doesnโt require flash.
Oh dang did i say all? Many still do. A lot of government city type web sites still require flash too. Point is many sites we depend on still require flash.
/Note to self…. remove the word “all” from your lexicon.
Hamous says:YouTube hasnโt required flash in some time.
Did I say that? My hamous.org account has been hacked!!!! Dang those hackers.

Flashplayer is turned off on all our devices. The only time it is ever turned on is when Her Highness receives a Jacquie Lawson e-card who, unfortunately, still uses Flashplayer.
I never turn it on for my use and none of the 3 bank sites I have to go to use it. Chase Bank does require online check deposit customers to use Explorer which, to my great irritation, is incredibly stupid. I was on a conference call with these Chase people at installation and when I asked them what they were going to do when IE becomes obsolete, they descended into a group chorus of “Um, er, uh, hmm, well, uh, we don’t know.” -
After I disabled Flash, I was amused by the number of embedded edge ads in an innanet page that were transformed into blank gray squares — sorta like those famous paintings in the Rothko Chapel. Blank square with a plea to use rt-click to start it.
Over time, more and more of those ads are running their video w/o flash. At least I can keep my speaker on zero volume so I can ignore them. -
HEADLINE: Top Democratic Donor at Ross Fundraiser: Blacks Are โSeriously F***ed in The Headโ
In the video, prominent Ross donor Benjamin Barber expresses his opinion about blacks who vote Republican by comparing them to Nazis.
โHave you heard of the Sonderkommandos? Jewish guards who helped murder Jews in the camps. So there were even Jews that were helping the Nazis murder Jews! So blacks who are helping the other side are seriously f***ed in the head.Isn’t that almost exactly what noted criminal George Soros did in WWII, help the Nazis kill Jews??
Why izzit that Godwin’s Law only applies to Rs? -

Texpat said……..Chase Bank does require online check deposit customers to use Explorer which, to my great irritation, is incredibly stupid.
VINDICATED
Seriously, it is absolutely insane that flash is used anywhere. Because of flash my wife’s computer got zapped with ransomware and all she did was go to a website she trusted for years. I found out that the web page sold ad space. The bad guys bought the space and placed an ad with injection software that is triggered by flash. It is crazy. I had to erase and reload her computer she was sick about it. I am glad I could “fix” her computer. Sometimes you cannot. -

More bad news for the lying succubus – PA is now in play.

Apparently Michigan is now in play as well. Michigan does not have early voting. All the garbage coming out against Clots may have a big effect. I think NC, Fla, and Ohio are going Trump.

Since I quit drinking, I won’t be able to evaluate this drink recipe. Maybe some of you sots can try it and get back with me:
Hillary’s Bitter Tears
18 parts vodka. Any kind of vodka. VODKA!
3 parts Binaca to disguise the vodka smell
4 more parts vodka
Pulped Whitewater Billing records
a few more parts of vodka in case you were drunk before and miscounted
Three drops of BleachBit extract
Olives pre-soaked in vodka. Squeeze the vodka out of the olives into the drink, then throw away the olives.
Rub the drink’s lip with the dried genetic material of a former US president recovered from a befouled cloth. Then wipe that genetic material off the lip because, eww. Man-stuff.
Pour into a large empty “Energy Drink” can and pretend you’re just getting you’re caffeine on because all the Millennials will think that’s cool or whatever.
Serve chilled with Provigil and an epipen filled with Armour Thyroid.H/T AoSHQ

RE: 29 & 37
The Johnson Brothers do not kill blogs, although, they are opposed, more or less, to capital punishment. Not that we are necessarily objecting to the state killing someone for capital crimes, we’re just suspect of the so called due process.
Nevertheless, when all has been said, there is simply nothing else to say (except, of course, for Squawk, who always has something to say, no matter what). -

I was only referring to the death penalty for blog threads.
Personally, I’m for executing all kinds of evil things and creatures. -

Not really.
I am opposed. -
I liked it a lot more and thought it was far more dignified and manly to have a chew of tobacco in your jaw back in the more civilized days of American baseball.
Nowadays, we have some idiotic moron with 12 pieces of bubblegum in his mouth looking like some crazed, hyper-steroidal chipmunk on television in front of 50 million people.

I’ve been laid up for a month in the house with what I think is a brand new, second fully herniated disc. I barely drive anywhere and can’t walk very far at all. I haven’t had 6 hours of relief from sciatica since the end of September.

Just got a newsletter from the USO announcing the opening of a new and much larger USO installation at Incirlilk. Families had been sent home some time ago, and at the time it was raising funds to build it I was wondering if that would be a mistake given the events in Turkey and the coup attempt and strained relations.
Well, it’s open now and doing a lot of good for those service folk still there, but I can see it being turned over to the Turks if things continue to go south in the relationship. -
Oh crap the Indians just tied it up

RUTRO!
7th game high drama afoot -
I told Chapman not to put that ball into golf swing territory. The short, thick, powerful guys can hit it out from down there. Nobody ever listens to me.
-
That guy who tied it up better watch out if he comes back up, with all that grandstanding while running the bases.
-
One of my little old lady friends Over Yonder linked to this book and its reviews.
-
Why would you throw it where they can drive it like that? High and away is what keeps ’em going down.
Chapmans pitches aren’t leaping because he” tired. Even if he is still throwing super heat. -
Seventh game. Tied in the ninth. Raining.
What more could you ask for.
I’m sweating. -
And now it is raining
Anybody’s game now -
Type of game every Little Leager dreams about.

Nice thing about the World Series is we in Texas get to see that earlier Trump commercial – going for Hillary’s corrupt jugular. It WAS a beautiful thing.
I couldn’t come up with single Republican from the primaries that would run that ad.
Except maybe – maybe – Cruz. -
Don’t leave out HRC’s commercials too…

I missed those somehow
-
I’ll be. They did it.

My grandmother was born two years after the last time the Cubs did it.

Cubs win. Is Chicago burning yet?
-
The NFL is rigged and outcomes manipulated for the greatest revenues. Meanwhile America’s purest game just happens to go a full seven games at the most extreme odds and just oozing drama with the poor Cubs finally back in it. And extra innings to boot. Hmmm.
J/K Great game and series, I didn’t have a dog in there but it was great entertainment. Congrats Cubs and MLB, maybe the game is making a comeback. -
Wake up Slackers!
