[The corruption of the FBI is detailed by former federal prosecutor and US attorney Joseph Digenova in the feb2018 issue of Imprimis. Entitled ‘The Politicization of the FBI’, this summary of the 2016-17 ongoings with the Clinton and Trump campaigns is the most clear, concise, and complete recounting I have read. It totally corroborates the arguments presented and debated here during the indicated period. I strongly urge you to read it. H/T also to a prominent RR commenter for beating me to the punch in his alerting our readers to this piece. gjr]

Chuck.E”cheese” Schemer got what he asked for.
” In October, the Senate minority leader vowed to block two of Trump’s commerce nominations on the grounds the president had not delivered on tariff promises he had previously made to American metal producers.”
OK,, Tariffs are now here.
Now what does he say?
” “A trade war is not what we want.” ”
Proggys are never happy. Ignore those new Trump tax cuts, and pay the old rate. That would really frost Trump’s nuts if you refused his generosity.

The case against liberal compassion:
Do something, anything, about the suffering of others to make ME feel good about ME.
Pity is about how deeply I can feel,” wrote the late political theorist Jean Bethke Elshtain. “And in order to feel this way, to experience the rush of my own pious reaction, I need victims the way an addict needs drugs.”
It follows, then, that the answer to the question of how liberals who profess to be anguished about other people’s suffering can be so weirdly complacent regarding wasteful, misdirected, and above all ineffective government programs created to relieve that suffering—is that liberals care about helping much less than they care about caring. Because compassion gives me a self-regarding reason to care about your suffering, it’s more important for me to do something than to accomplish something. Once I’ve voted for, given a speech about, written an editorial endorsing, or held forth at a dinner party on the salutary generosity of some program to “address” your problem, my work is done, and I can feel the rush of my own pious reaction. There’s no need to stick around for the complex, frustrating, mundane work of making sure the program that made me feel better, just by being established and praised, has actually alleviated your suffering.

Listening to KFBK news, I was just astounded by Sacramento mayor Darryl Steinberg comparing today’s ICE actions against illegal immigrants with deportation orders to the roundup of Japanese-Americans during WWII. The chutzpah of the comparison, that rounding up of people here legally, BORN IN THE USA, forcing entire families to move to hastily built and unfinished concentration camps, and forcing the sales of real and personal property for pennies on the dollar could be compared to picking up an illegal alien national that has already had their day in court and faces the end of the line, going back to their only legal residence… somewhere else. Not California.
Angry, I googled a friend’s name, a fellow I worked with at Hughes Aircraft Satellite Ground Equipment Division for five years who grew up in the Manzanar camp, only to find he’d died last year. Damn! Rest in peace, Frank.

National Figures
The FBI states that there were 15,070 deaths by firearms (not including suicides and accidental shootings) in the United States in 2016, the most recent year that FBI data and gun trace information from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms were available.
Nearly 75 percent of those deaths were committed using a gun, but rifles — meaning any rifle, not just AR-15s — were used in just 374 of them. That’s about 2 percent of all them and 3 percent of all deaths in which a gun was used (again, not including suicides and accidental shootings).
Overall, more than 38,000 people died from gunshot wounds in the United States in 2016, according to preliminary mortality data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly two-thirds of those were suicides.

What did Trumps lawyer pay Stormy $130,000 for? Or you deny that he paid it. There is an unsigned place in the contract that Trump didn’t sign. that means there is no agreement. Yet Trumps lawyer admits paying the $130,000. Can you explain that?

Evidently, the leading causes of death in America are caused from drug overdoses and suicide. Second are deaths from auto accidents and third are from guns. Interesting how it’s being played by those who would like to make us helpless, when it’s obvious we have a moral problem and need to protect ourselves from normal and deranged drugged preditors.

“About name recognition, it’s been said tonight I am prince Richard. I would prefer Richard the Lionhearted” Cordray said, apparently referring to the 12th century English monarch, during a Democratic primary debate in Toledo, Ohio, Wednesday.”
