Trump delays release of some JFK assassination documents, bowing to national security concerns.
That’ll bring all the conspiracy nuts outta’ the woodwork. -
I’ve mentioned this before, and I’ve never been a conspiracy nut, but for years I’d heard various stories about the JFK assassination, that made me wonder how much of the official version was true. About 10-15 years ago, I stumbled across a book by Gerald Posner, “Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK.” and read it. I am now convinced that not only did Oswald act alone, but the whole thing was brought about by several coincidences. Oswald didn’t even know that Kennedy was to drive by the book depository until a couple of days before the event. Jack Ruby just happened to walk by the jail basement an hour late, right after he wired money to one of his strippers in Oklahoma. Posner didn’t have a dog in the hunt so he set about to find the truth by interviewing a lot of people, that were there and going over lots of documents. Anyway, if you read the book with an open mind you will be convinced. All the conspiracy folks were putting together some facts,some fiction and a whole lot of Bovine Scatology just to sell their books.
-
Oh, and Posner was on one of the Fox shows last night and dang he looks young, makes me wonder how old he was when he wrote the book.

Adam Schiff (T)erdnozzle CA, is a vile, disgusting, pile of filth.
[FOR SOME REASON NONE OF THE CONTROL BUTTONS, LIKE LINK, ARE VISIBLE TO ME RIGHT NOW]
He wants Trump investigated/persecuted because he wants the truth about the Uranium One treasonous activity to come out.

The source, who Carlson said he would not yet name, said he worked for the brothers’ Podesta Group and was privy to some information from Robert Mueller’s special investigation.
While media reports describe former “Black, Manafort & Stone” principal Paul Manafort as Trump’s main tie to the investigation, the source said it is Manafort’s role as a liaison between Russia and the Podesta Group that is drawing the scrutiny….
Manafort was, at the time, representing Russian business and political interests during the Obama era.
The source said the Podesta Group was in regular contact with Manafort while Hillary Clinton was America’s chief diplomat….
According to Carlson, “Manafort was clear that Russia wanted to cultivate ties to Hillary” because she appeared to be the presumptive 45th president.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said this morning that he’s been called upon by White House staff to intervene when President Trump is “getting ready to go off the rails, which happens, as you know, often.”
“Look, this has been building for a long time. I have had a private dinner with the president. I’ve played golf with the president,” Corker said of his onetime support for Trump during the campaign that has turned into a Washington feud. “Look, I’ve done a lot of things privately. And this has just continued to build. But I think the thing that has probably caused me to be most critical is kneecapping his secretary of State, when we’re trying to deal with North Korea in a manner that doesn’t lead us to a regional, global conflict.”
Let me translate this for you.
Bob Corker: I’m the smartest guy in the room and I should be president, not this moronic Donald Trump. I’m not running for reelection to the Senate because I have to devote all my time to organizing my campaign for president in 2020. It’s my great sacrifice to save the nation from Trump and the American people from themselves !
The U.S. Senate is an, exclusive private club of 100 people who each believe they should be president of the United States instead of whomever is in the White House.

John Cassidy is the Texas bureau chief for Watchdog.org and bids Joe Straus a not so fond farewell.
Anyone with a conscience, or an affinity for principle, might feel very different. Straus is no angel or statesman. He is a vindictive political lowlife unashamed to abuse his power. When a member of the board of the University of Texas began asking questions that would eventually uncover a massive admissions corruption scandal that led straight to Straus’s door, Straus’s response wasn’t to mend his ways, to let go of a secret perk he had arrogated to himself. It was to have that board member impeached, and when that failed, to pursue his indictment, even offering to make the criminal case go away if the board member would only shut up and resign.
and,
The narrative that’s forming in the press is that there’s no room for grown-ups in the party of Trump. This is off. Austin is not Washington, Straus is no voice of conscience, and Trump has little to do with local developments. But the popular misconception about special interests controlling Washington is actually the truth about Austin. Congress is unresponsive to voters because it is consumed by its dealings with a vast number of interests who are themselves in conflict; the statehouse here actually is run by a small lobby, and has been for decades. Straus is that lobby’s figurehead. He served their interests, and those of the Democrats that elected him, and made himself a fierce enemy of anyone who dared to hold him accountable. In particular, he turned a public agency meant to enforce campaign finance law into an attack dog that only bit his conservative critics.
and this line,
I mean he is so opposed to the conservative agenda that the smart money is on him running for governor or lieutenant governor — as a Democrat. (He is reportedly sitting on a $10 million war chest.) It was the Democrats, after all, who were the foot soldiers in his coup for the speakership 10 years ago.

Now I can see the buttons. I am using Chrome now and before I was using FireFox.
I’ve just reset my Firefox due to audio problems. On certain websites – and the list kept growing – I couldn’t hear audio. I found a web page that said that resetting Firefox would solve that problem, but I lost all of my extensions and add-ons.
I just got through adding them back in, but I, like you, don’t see the edit buttons above this entry screen.
I may also have to move to Chrome. I agree with the user on the forum page that asked “Why hasn’t Firefox fixed this issue?” I like my Firefox, but this is irritating.
Are any of y’all using other browsers besides Chrome and Firefox?

Twitchy chalks one up for Ben Shapiro.
From anti-family Cecile Roberts:

@CecileRichards
Replying to @CecileRichardsIn a leaked memo, it came to light that the administration wanted to move to “natural family planning” — like the rhythm method.

I’m not one to link anymore to Breitbart, but this is a fascinating 3 Part expose on Hollywood by an old colleague of Andrew Breitbart who is one of the rare conservatives in Hollywood. Good stuff.
Excerpts from Part 1:
The level of disdain towards conservatives needs to be experienced firsthand to truly be appreciated. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. My wife and I have Hollywood homies, incredible mentors for our daughter, and regularly interact with “celebrities” who all happen to be tolerant liberals. We don’t care about their politics. But like citing Fox News as proof that liberals don’t dominate the media, these exceptions prove the rule.
Being of Mexican descent, my wife likes to say that we were initially shielded from knee-jerk bigotry by our brown cards. So I didn’t really feel the full force of the hate until a few years after the birth of my daughter – when my wife and I began butting heads with some prominent members of this monolithically liberal society.
Our first major run-in seemed like a no brainer – confronting a grown man who cuddled other people’s kids…in bed. It was slam-dunk material.
or so they thought,
We’d faced Hollywood bigotry towards conservatives before – dating back to my early days with Breitbart News. The morning after my first appearance on Fox News as a Big Hollywood contributor, I was gifted with a keyed car – which was later graduated to a tire slashing. The vitriol reached a peak when a neighbor came to our front door with a bat. Then during the 2012 campaign, a lovely liberal TV exec used my daughter to attack our politics – opening the door for another Hollywoodian to joke about her being raped. Yes…rape jokes…about a five year-old. Back then, the instances of aggression were done by anonymous cowards or people that didn’t really know us well. But this time we were feeling the bigotry from some highfalutin Tinseltown players that we interacted with regularly. Sane people had suddenly gone mad.
and,
The film inspired me to delve into this subject on a more personal level – by not just hearing from the thoughts of industry players, but also talking to “common folk” and chronicling my own encounters with some of the more triggered bubble dwellers. Mr. Green only lived six months as a Jew in anti-Semitic New York – I’ve spent eight years as a right-winger in bigoted Hollywood. I also want to get an understanding of how we got here, and far from the victimhood plaguing every corner of society – I’ll show how the deplorables are punching back…and winning.
This particular topic was near and dear to Breitbart News’ founder, Andrew Breitbart. And if this company town thinks disrespecting conservatives has no impact on its business, it’s spending too much time at the green pharmacy.

New detailed inspection reports reveal dozens of violations of health and safety standards by Whole Woman’s Health (WWH), a chain of abortion clinics that says it is “committed to changing the culture around abortion stigma.”
The new documents, inspection reports between 2011 and 2017 from the Texas Department of State Health Services, were obtained by And Then There Were None (ATTWN), a nonprofit group that “exists to help abortion clinic workers leave the abortion industry.”
The documents show a widespread problem of health violations at WWH clinics. Staff failed to properly disinfect and sterilize equipment used on multiple women, and were not properly trained in the sterilization of surgical instruments. In 2011, the Beaumont, Texas, clinic did not have a registered nurse on staff, in contravention of legal requirements.

I have a dear (but aggravating!) friend, barely past 50, feeling sorry for herself a lot lately, and just posted this:
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
So I got my doctor’s permission to
Join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But,
By the time I got my leotards on,
The class was over.Awwww, I love her anyway.

‘Possums – a while back there was talk of the nastiness of possums and what they
will eat, etc. I’ll agree with how nasty they are…great childhood memories of going hunting at night for rabbits, etc. in the country – but if you had a dead cow anywhere – you could count on finding at least two to be there every nite.However, just found out that there is a usefulness of them – seems that they eat a lot of ticks and will keep your backyard free of them and, at times, they will even kill/eat copperheads. Interesting, but I’m not getting one as a backyard pet….

Given that he has a very strong chance to win Utah if he runs, what would the chances be that he’ll think he’ll need to be president? 🙂

I’m teeing this one up for El Gordo.
The U.S. Navy on Wednesday rescued two American women and their dogs who had spent five months lost in the Pacific Ocean.
Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava of Honolulu had planned a trip in their small sailboat from Hawaii to Tahiti. However, the duo and their dogs experienced a slew of bad circumstances beginning when a cell phone fell overboard on the first day. The engine lost power a month into the trip, the mast was damaged due to bad weather, and as they drifted on across the Pacific, their water purifier stopped working, an NBC News affiliate reported.
The women had thankfully prepared with a years worth of food, and after sending a distress call everyday with no response, they were rescued by a U.S. Navy ship about 900 miles southeast of Japan, thousands of miles off course from their intended destination of Tahiti.
For less than $500 and about $12 a month, you can buy a marine gps distress beacon that will communicate to satellites from anywhere on earth and let authorities know exactly where you are.
Why in the world would anyone take off across the Pacific Ocean without one ?

Welp i had to officially “unfriend” my cousin on facebook. He lives in the fire zone in California and posted this picture. That ain’t the bad thing, but he posted a song by the band that shall remain unnamed and their song about flaming trees and brush in high places. Sad really. I liked my cousin too. -

I just knew you would want to know this…
A common point of confusion is “Where’s Marshall Tucker?” There is no actual such person in the band; they got the name off the key to the door to the warehouse they rented to practice in. Marshall Tucker was the person who had rented the warehouse before them and his name was still inscribed on the key. Just think, they could have named their band “Yale” or “Master Lock!”

Part 2 of Tinseltown Travelogue has been posted.
After a quick perusal of his social media posts, we deduced it was intended to be a Trump impersonator dressed in drag. Ironically, the screenwriter for one of the biggest conservative movies in years was glaringly anti-Trump. Mr. Hall followed the post with the outrageous claim that I was trying to “kill the arts.” Either he didn’t peruse my NEA article, or reading comprehension doesn’t come default in screenwriters.
Fast-forward a few months, and it was Mrs. Hall’s turn to take a few unprovoked punches at my wife…and our daughter. Having just received news from our doctor that my wife had no new tumor growth, my better half posted on Instagram how she felt privileged to watch our daughter grow up. When you’ve battled near death and come out on the other side, you gain a new value for time. Mrs. Hall, who at times is embarrassed of her white skin color, responded to the post by mocking my wife’s “privilege” – and suggested my daughter would fall on bad health due to Trumpcare. Politicizing a post about our daughter was low, but par for the course for the triggered left. Ridiculing a brown woman’s “privilege,” whose parent literally sold gum at the Tijuana border, when you’ve grown up in a mansion surrounded by global music superstars…well, that unlocks a whole new level of clueless. Daddy’s money couldn’t save Mrs. Hall from the beast lurking inside my wife. The beast delivered the same verbal uppercut that propelled her out of da hood, and that was the end of that. Mrs. Hall has since been seen hangin’ out with Mrs. Creepy.

Yup Mr. Ed can do away with all the curbside parking downtown, turn NRG and the Astrohole into parking garages. Charge a premium to ride the toy train into town and maybe collect enough money to get a running start on fixin the flood control problems in Houston. -
