[Whouda thought that America’s urban killings would go up after the leftwing activists started accusing the police of a nationwide conspiracy to kill blacks and other minorities. Even one of our own political leaders voiced her strong conclusion that this was the case. Well, now that the post-police-pullback body count stats are coming in, I wonder if any of these liberal loonies will step up on the public podium and offer some contritious remarks about their role in helping blacks kill more blacks. You can be certain that the marginal deaths of now minimally policed minorities can be laid directly at the feet of these pious progressive pricks. Yet all we hear from the lamestream about this is the sound of silence. (more here) gjr]

10 times the intel community violated the trust of US citizens, lawmakers and allies
http://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/366442-10-times-the-intel-community-violated-the-trust-of-americas
Here are three:
Olympic spying
In 2002, the NSA reportedly engaged in “blanket surveillance” of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, collecting and storing “virtually all electronic communications going into or out of the Salt Lake City area, including … emails and text messages” to “experiment with and fine tune a new scale of mass surveillance.” NSA officials had denied such a program existed.
Spying on Congress
In 2005 intel officials intercepted and recorded phone conversations between then-Congresswoman Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and pro-Israel lobbyists who were under investigation for espionage. In 2009, someone — exactly who was never revealed — leaked Harman’s “unmasked” name to the press. In 2011, intel officials captured private communications between then-Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and a Libyan official. The wiretapped recordings were later leaked to the press — again, by unknown sources.
Journalist “witch hunts”
Internal emails from a “global intelligence company” executive in 2010 stated: “Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources. Note — There is specific tasker from the [White House] to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda (oh my.) Even the FBI is shocked.” The name “Brennan” appears to reference then-U.S. homeland security adviser John Brennan, who went on to become CIA director.

[In short, when someone attempted to fact check the fact checker, the response was the equivalent of “it’s secret.”
It is impossible to understate how antithetical this is to the fact checking world, in which absolute openness and transparency are necessary prerequisites for trust. How can fact checking organizations like Snopes expect the public to place trust in them if when they themselves are called into question, their response is that they can’t respond]

#43 | Ranking the States by Fiscal Condition: California
On the basis of its fiscal solvency in five separate categories, California ranks 43rd among the US states for its fiscal health. California’s performance across several categories is weak. The state has between 75 percent and 154 percent of the cash needed to cover short-term obligations; this is far lower than the average in the states. California’s budgetary solvency is much stronger. Revenues exceed spending by 6 percent, and net position improved by $403 per capita. On a long-run basis, California’s net asset ratio of −0.62 indicates the state is reliant on debt to finance its operations. Long-term liabilities are 93 percent of total assets. On a guaranteed-to-be-paid basis, unfunded pension obligations and OPEB are 48 percent of state personal income.

When Larry Sabato speaks, I listen. He was convinced that the upper Midwest would break for Trump 3-4 weeks out, even when his own polling did not show it. He polls underlying sentiment several years in advance of elections and was confused when the underlying sentiment (anger at being the first generation in US history to leave our country worse off for the next generation than we inherited)….that anger and underlying sentiment did not go anywhere in the final 3-4 weeks leading up to Nov. 9. His underlying polling convinced me, again when it looked like “no way would Trump win” and Hillary in the polls had a virtual lock on the electroial college. Impossible path for Trump, 3% chance.
But, the underlying sentiment was still there. No, Trump was not a “populous movement” as neatly pigeon holed by the intellicetual lazy looking for a bumper sticker answer.. It was all about fighting and taking our last stand not to leave our country worse off than what we inherited that drove Trump’s victory……,which by extension would naturally include attacking the hideous PC culture, fighting for protection of borders, common language, unding unfair trade agreements, keeping America from getting screwed, all incapsulated in MAGA.
It’s not how you poll, it’s what you poll.
Anyway, with that long intro aside, Larry Saboto’s crystal ball for the 2018 midterms. Something for everybody, Punchy included. Sorry you speed readers, it’s a 3 minute video. Couldn’t find a transcript, yet.

Guess Boardman never heard of the latest trend. It’s called cord cutting, and that crazy new fangeled craze does not apply only to cable tv. It’s been trending that way for a few moons now.

Ditch the Dish and all that stuff…..easier now since the NFL Pqckage is not quite the status symbol it once was. Lost some of its draw and luster. 🙂

Geeze, you do sound like Punchy at times…not directed at Fish, but referring to The Other Guy. Geeze, Mr. Boardman, you came over here on Nov. 10, 2016 and first thing out of your typing finger was “what about medical care?, My Obamacare? What the Sam Hill is going to happen to health insurance??? What’s Trump”s plan. Big fret. Big, big fretting time. Well, at least you did not say that 26 million people would be dying on the streets. I had an answer ready for that one…..uh, why didn’t 26 million folks die on our streets without insurance BEFORE Bamacare?. Anyway, that was over two months away from Trump even being sworn in. Fret, fret, worry, and cranky. You get almost as cranky as Mr. Crabbman over Repeal and Replace. Take a chill pill. What, 14 months have now passed and you still got your saw bones coverage. Maybe coverance for your monocle, you grumpy old man you. I would say your hair is on fire, but I figured the receding hairline might make that phrase about hair and fire an oxymoron.
Opps, strike ALL of the above. Mea culpa. Be bad, me wrong, me lied!! Correction. The first thing that came off your typing finger the morning after was we are all a bunch of White racists. Not racists, but White Racist super duder White Supremest kind of racists. Duh, like we have heard that one before. Must have voted for My Gal, eh? No biggie. That is all in the past now.
The SECOND thing you hyperventilated about in your next post theday after Trump stood with his heel on Hillary’s neck was your worry wart concerns about healthcare’s future. “What’s the plan, tell me, tell me now”. So, it was the second thing off your typing finger, not the first.
Geritol is supposed to work for iron poor blood, but maybe some Philips Milk of Magnesia may be in order for the good GB. If you can’t find it, I think they still make Ex-Lax. Prune juice is on sale at the RX near you if you are into the organic stuff.
Punchy meet Mr. Boardman. Mr. Boardman, meet Punchy. For more on white cracker Bubba redneck intermarried racist stuff, please see my next post.

Weather outside is delightful…..but pretty frightful facing the sunrise. That’s East, FYI.
Baby it’s cold outside.

Speaking of Baby, its cold outside….that song is now the number one bad sexist song ever written…no wonder Bible clingers and gun totterssing it a Christmas. Well. I never sung it at Christmas, but the Enlightened Social Justice Warriors group it in with Jiggle Bells (racist), White Christmas (racist) and the film “It’s a Wonderful Life”(sexist). And not any ordinary sexist, but it promotes date rape! Bad juju….but I still don’t consider Baby It’s Cold Outside a Christmas carole. Maybe I be blinded to the truth or something.
Now some wacko in an institution of higher learning (teaching college and colleges of education) is teaching our kids that very song caused the 9/11 Terrorist Attack and he can prove it because the song enraged some Islamic Child Molester-pedophile-zealot-mass murderer. Yeah, he should be in an institution alright, so that makes sense. You be the judge. Beam me up, Scotty.
