    Good morning Hamsters. Damp from some light rain overnight, 69 at 7am, gloomy, everything dripping, not likely to get much better today as a cold front moves toward us and squeezes rain out of the Gulf moisture as it comes.

    Super Dave’s #3 above is a hoot. Several somebodies at the Mirror obviously don’t know there’s a HUGE difference between a meter and a kilometer.

    The OC opening is hysterically clever. Great find.

    And in the realm of hysterics, the Chron scores again with this headline: How Cruz eked out his win. Conservatives in local suburbs vital to 250,000 vote margin. Really bitter losers they are. More like a red wave it is.

    On further review of my #4 above, it would be simple to conclude that the Chron’s choice of eke in their story really translates to EEEKK, Beto lost.

    Leftist ANTIFA Mob Shows Up At Tucker Carlson’s House … Threatens His Children … Demands He Flee City

    I see where Antifa has published home addresses of various conservatives, and showed up at Tucker Carlson’s house, chanting threats.

    What can be done about this fascist attempt to stifle free speech?

    #7, 8: I was just going to link to that story. If that garbage happened in Texas, the crashing into the door, there would likely have been bloodshed. These so-called anti-fascists and thier fellow travelers are the very definition of fascist, terrorist, soon to be murderous, scumbags and need to be treated as such. Both ends of the street were blocked by the terrorists according to the article and the cops showed up with in minutes; how many of these terrorists were arrested?
    Unless and until these terrorists are arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to long terms in prison, this garbage will continue. Quite frankly, I have had more than enough of coddling these spoilt brats – bring on the hickory shampoos!

    I just heard that Ruth Ginsburg fell and broke several ribs in her apartment last night and she’s in the hospital. I hope she retires soon.

    Trump needs to replace her with a fire breathing Constitutionalist. I would love to see the melt down ensue.

    Morning all. Overcast and cool this morning, but certainly not cold. Now that the mid-term is over, I suspect we will see a change in attitude from the WH concerning dealing with law breakers. Hopefully, enhanced border enforcement will continue, and hopefully the hooligans from these “protest” groups will be brought to justice. It’s not free speech when you are trampling someone’s lawn and destroying their property. I seriously think that Trump is embolden to move forward draining the swamp, including some of the swamp creatures that he mistakenly appointed the first time around. Mueller will stay because Trump needs him as a foil much in the same way he needs the Dem House to serve the same purpose.
    BTW, those of you in Harris Co might want to take a look at just exactly who you elected to serve as County Judge. Getting rid of Emmett was a good move, but this new on might be a bit of a lightweight – be real interesting to find out who is pulling her strings.
    The intern that Jim Acousta assaulted should go ahead and file charges against him just to let CNN know that they are serious about not tolerating unprofessional behavior. No problem with tough questions, but those jackals need to behave.
    And I just heard that the notorious RBG is in the hospital. Can Trump pull off the trifecta over at SCOTUS? Wouldn’t that be a hoot. All that Christmas programming interrupted by non-stop reporting on what a scoundrel the new nominee is.
    OK, you all have a good day, and remember that no matter how bad you think things are out there, hiliary is still not President.

    On to the AG. There are several good prosecutors out there, and there are a bunch of rabid dog prosecutors in government. They are a dime a dozen in DOJ. What’s needed is a politically savvy administrator who can write policy, explain that policy clearly, and sell his or her programs. Sessions seemed to be a little too “iron clad” and unwilling to listen to reason and argument, was completely politically tone deaf outside his conservative base, and was unable to champion his causes effectively. The job of each and every cabinet member is to further the President’s policy objectives. Ignore all that “independent” crap, the concept to go it alone against the President, etc. Unless the President is a complete crook, it’s his policy. How about a black women – Janice Rogers Brown for instance. She would be excellent.

    FL SEN: Something Very Odd (And In Violation Of State Law) Is Going On In These Two Democratic Counties

    Just came back from inspecting our first private money lending deal, a flip in Humble.

    The house looked nice. From what I heard, it sounded like a coupla pot heads were living there, and the house looked like it. What I saw was new tile and drywall, an improved floor plan, recessed LED lights, fresh carpet, remodeled kitchen…most of it looked great. I liked the layout.

    There were some screens in an outside porch that the flipper told me he already had on his “to do” list. I did point out that the stair handrail lacked a return at either end, which was code. When I reached up to pull down the attic access stair, it fell down and banged my hand pretty hard. Yeah, might wanna fix that, too.

    Otherwise, I was pleased with what my money had done. I’m releasing the final draw soon, and when the house sells, I’ll make a pretty decent return.

    NEXT!

    Oh, and I gotta change a lock on an apartment we’re signing a lease on today. The new tenant says he’s a contractor and he’ll fix that problem gate for us, no problem.

    They have all the rent; have already given me the full deposit. They wanted me to take the rent yesterday to seal the deal, but I refused until after their background check was completed. The woman came back on the terrorist report, but after further checking, it wasn’t her. I’m giving her the report so she can go to SS and make sure her identity is cleared up.

    Trying to FORCE money on me AND fix the gate? I think I’m gonna like these folks.

    Looks like our Senate majority may be short lived. The Dems are actively stealing the vote in Broward and Dade Counties, Flarada; and newly found votes in Arizona are putting McSally behind. Meanwhile, the Reps sit idly around with their thumbs up their _____ rather than getting down there with their big guns and start challenging some stuff. Didn’t we see this technique at play in Flarada once before? Seems like we did. The vote manufacturing machine is running full speed.
    Then Joe Straus running for governator as a Dem – having been elected Texas Speaker buy the Dems while claiming to be a Rep for years.

    I hate to tell you guys, but Trey Gowdy doesn’t have a chance in hell for AG. He screwed up too many times defending Mueller and praising him as a Special Counsel and going blah, blah, blah about what a wonderful job he was doing.

    Rep. Trey Gowdy has been a pitbull investigator for Republicans for years. Now, he’s in President Donald Trump’s doghouse for daring to challenge the president’s unsupported claim that Democrats and their sympathizers in the FBI embedded a spy* in his 2016 campaign.

    Trump allies have been pummeling Gowdy in recent days, branding him a gullible or clueless backer of the intelligence community. Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, labeled him “uninformed.” Another Trump-tied attorney, Victoria Toensing, said Gowdy “doesn’t know diddly-squat” about the particulars of federal investigations. And Fox News host Lou Dobbs tagged him a “RINO” — a term for a fake Republican.

    It’s the latest twist in Gowdy’s enigmatic tenure in Congress. Once a conservative hero for his headline-grabbing inquisitions of the Obama administration — over the “Fast and Furious” gun-running program and alleged IRS targeting of conservatives, as well as his highly charged Benghazi probe — Gowdy has also bedeviled partisans by sometimes refusing to toe a pro-Trump line. At times, Trump himself has seemed perplexed; in the span of two years, the president once hailed Gowdy as a brilliant lawmaker before bashing him as a failure and then embracing him once again.

    Gowdy said some really stupid things before he left office, things that were easily disproven or instances where he claimed to have studied documents when he didn’t. It was sad and he was clearly ready to go back home and get out of DC.

    * This has since been proven true and correct. The DNC/CIA/FBI/HILLARY cabal did indeed infiltrate the Trump campaign with a spy. Gowdy was wrong and should have kept his mouth shut on something he was uninformed about.

    More than 1,000 registered voters in Broward County unlawfully listed United Parcel Service (UPS) boxes as the address where they live, official records show.

    According to Florida Statute 97.053, voter applicants must provide their “legal residence address.” The official Florida Voter Registration form specifically asks for “Legal Residence-no P.O. Box.” On the Broward Supervisor of Elections website, citizens are told valid applications must include, “Full Name, Date of Birth, Address of Legal Residence (address where you live), Florida Drivers License number or Florida ID card, or the last four digits of Social Security number and signature.”

    Despite the clear instructions, a Media Trackers Florida investigation found 1,128 registered voters in Broward County listed a UPS box as the place where they live.

    An aide to Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca appears to be one of the worst offenders.

    LaMarca aide Ryan M. Reiter is registered to vote at 4613 North University Drive Apt. 481 in Coral Springs, Florida. As a professed resident of precinct E021, Reiter cast an absentee ballot on November 6, 2012. However, there are no apartments at that address. 4613 North University Drive is the address of UPS Store #3748, located at the Pine Ridge Square shopping center. Forty-six people are registered to vote at this address. More than half of them voted last November.

    Also in Coral Springs, there are 20 active voters registered at UPS Store #3996 on Coral Ridge Drive. Another Coral Springs UPS Store has 40 active voters.

    A review of voter records show the problem exists at UPS Stores throughout Broward County. Sixty-three active voters are registered at a UPS Store in Hollywood. Sixty-eight active voters are registered to vote at the UPS Store in Fort Lauderdale. The Hallandale Beach UPS Store has 115 registered voters. Voters unlawfully registered at each location likely cast ballots during the November 2012 elections.

    Philip Hamburger, one of my favorite legal scholars, was the first out of the gate with a perfect nominee last week for AG before Sessions resigned.

    He picks the remarkable Janice Rogers Brown, retired judge on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. She’s a superstar and comes with impeccable credentials and unimpeachable moral and ethical standards.

    She was on Reagan’s, GHW Bush’s and GW Bush’s lists for SCOTUS. Brown finally made it to the DC Circuit via a deal cut by McCain.

    On June 8, freshman Senator Barack Obama strongly opposed the confirmation of her nomination in a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, characterizing her judicial activism as, “Social Darwinism, a view of America that says there is not a problem that cannot be solved by making sure that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” He continued:

    Justice Scalia says that, generally speaking, the legislature has the power to make laws and the judiciary should only interpret the laws that are made or are explicitly in the Constitution. That is not Justice Brown’s philosophy. It is simply intellectually dishonest and logically incoherent to suggest that somehow the Constitution recognizes an unlimited right to do what you want with your private property and yet does not recognize a right to privacy that would forbid the Government from intruding in your bedroom. Yet that seems to be the manner in which Justice Brown would interpret our most cherished document.

    Lakeisha Williams, of Broward County, said she discovered the ballot box two days after Election Day at Miramar Elementary School — where it was apparently left behind by election workers.

    “I went into the area that we use for storage and saw it in there,” Williams told The Post.

    Williams said she did not touch or look inside the box. Instead, she told the school’s principal and they decided to contact a local state representative.

    “I don’t know where it is now,” Williams said, noting that all provisional ballots needed to be received by county officials before 5 p.m. Thursday

    #64, 69 – I’ve been touting Ms. Brown for AG since yesterday, but seeing that she got her DC appointment via a McCain deal has caused me to reconsider. Anything with the McCain stain on it is cause for alarm. Rosenweasel is a McCain recommendation. No, the McCain stain will live for another generation – and that includes the newly rehabbed Linda Graham as well. Good news for McCain people – Mittens Romney will be taking his position and carrying his torch. I’m gonna have to research Ms. Brown a lot more thoroughly though.

    We were puzzled with Fox News calling the election so early for the House, now we see why.

    Fox News attributed its quick call to its new “Fox News Voter Analysis” system, launched in partnership with the AP ahead of the midterms. Rather than rely on notoriously flawed exit polls, Fox said its new methodology is based on surveys conducted across 50 states by NORC at the University of Chicago, a non-partisan research group, in combination with voting results collected by the AP.
