[Watching President GHW Bush’s funeral pageant this morning brings to mind that now and then we still have occasions in America that bring us all together. But such occasions can only happen in sovereign nation-states like America still is today, a unique country where we Americans can find common values and shared lives upon which we are then called to reflect and reveal the things that still unite us. gjr]

“An investigation into whether political operatives in North Carolina illegally collected and possibly stole absentee ballots in a still-undecided congressional race has drawn attention to a widespread but little-known political tool called ballot harvesting.
The groups rely on data showing which voters requested absentee ballots but have not turned them in. They then go door-to-door and offer to collect and turn in those ballots for the voters – often dozens or hundreds at a time. Some place ballot-collection boxes in high-concentration voter areas, such as college campuses, and take the ballots to election offices when the boxes are full.
In North Carolina, election officials are investigating whether Republican political operatives in parts of the 9th Congressional District harvested ballots from minority voters and didn’t deliver them to the election offices. In some cases they are accused of harvesting ballots that were not sealed and only partially filled out. Ballot harvesting is illegal under state law, which allows only a family member or legal guardian to drop off absentee ballots for a voter.”

Quotes from space and time.
Upright: “The respect you get is usually the respect you earn, and the Bush family put on a public rite of national mourning that reflected well on the character of their father and the entire Bush clan, and gave the country a moment of shared respect it desperately needs.” —The Wall Street Journal
For the record: “Two of Kim [Jong-un]‘s missile bases up in the mountains are not only failing to be dismantled but show signs of ongoing work to expand them. … The fact remains that North Korea’s dictator cannot be trusted. He’s a snake oil salesman of the first order, on top of being a murderous tyrant. He and his family have made numerous promises to western powers over the past few decades and they’ve been shown to be unapologetic liars time and time again.” —Jazz Shaw
Belly laugh of the week: “Democrats have a really hard time … connecting to people’s hearts. … We have a really hard time doing that, and one of the reasons … is that we Democrats know so much that is true. We have to kind of tell everyone how smart we are, so we have a tendency to be very left brain and we think, this — really, that is not how people make decisions.” —Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) (“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” —Ronald Reagan)
Braying Jackass: “I don’t think I would shake hands with [Donald Trump]. … I would just — nope, couldn’t do it. I’m not that big a person. … [The Obamas] showed the ultimate respect for the office. They do not have to show respect for someone who does not respect them.” —CNN’s Don Lemon pontificating on the camaraderie at Bush’s funeral
Alpha Jackass: “Donald Trump is the only person in the world who can bring down a funeral.” —Stephen Colbert
And last… “41: Bush is a lying warmonger for oil! 43: Bush is a lying warmonger for oil, and also Hitler! 45: Why can’t Trump be more like Bush.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor

The walls are closing in on team Clinton –
A U.S. judge ordered the Justice and State departments Thursday to reopen an inquiry into whether Hillary Clinton used a private email server while secretary of state to deliberately evade public records laws and to answer whether the agencies acted in bad faith by not telling a court for months that they had asked in mid-2014 for missing emails to be returned.
In a narrow but sharply worded 10-page opinion, Lamberth wrote that despite the government’s claimed presumption of transparency, “faced with one of the gravest modern offenses to government openness, [the Obama administration’s] State and Justice departments fell far short” of the law’s requirements in a lawsuit for documents.

However, The Hill reported Thursday that prosecutors working for Huber recently requested documents from a private investigative firm that also has been looking into the foundation. The firm, MDA Analytics LLC, reportedly has contacted the IRS, the Justice Department and the FBI’s Little Rock office with evidence from its own investigation.
In addition, The Hill reported that a whistleblower submission filed with the FBI and IRS in August 2017 included internal legal reviews that the Clinton Foundation conducted between 2008 and 2011. Those reviews raised concerns about legal compliance and improper mingling of personal and charity business.

Tucker Carlson is usually quick to go after critics of President Donald Trump on his nightly Fox News show.
But in a new interview with conservative Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host called out Trump himself for his boastfulness and for failing to keep his promises to voters.
“His chief promises were that he would build the wall, de-fund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things,” said Carlson, per The Washington Post.
Carlson said he’d “come to believe” Trump’s role was “not as a conventional president who promises to get certain things achieved to the Congress and then does.”
“I don’t think he’s capable,” Carlson explained. “I don’t think he’s capable of sustained focus. I don’t think he understands the system. I don’t think the Congress is on his side. I don’t think his own agencies support him. He’s not going to do that.”
Carlson said it was “mostly” Trump’s fault that he hadn’t been able to deliver on his pledges, because “you really have to understand how” the legislative process works and “be very focused on getting it done.”
Trump “knows very little about the legislative process, hasn’t learned anything, hasn’t surrounded himself with people that can get it done, hasn’t done all the things you need to do so. It’s mostly his fault that he hasn’t achieved those things. I’m not in charge of Trump,” he added.
Instead, Carlson suggested Trump’s role had been “to begin the conversation” on issues such as immigration — which the conservative TV host has frequently and fervently railed against.
Carlson criticized Trump in March for suggesting guns should be preemptively removed from potentially dangerous people, and in January for hinting at a deal to protect young undocumented immigrants.

“in early 2017 when senior officials offered Trump charts and graphics laying out the numbers and showing a “hockey stick” spike in the national debt in the not-too-distant future. In response, Trump noted that the data suggested the debt would reach a critical mass only after his possible second term in office.
“Yeah, but I won’t be here,” the president bluntly said, according to a source who was in the room when Trump made this comment during discussions on the debt.”
So good to know we have a POTUS looking out for the country. Trump’s concern for the economy is about as informed and competent as his concerns for climate change.

His role is to try and intimidate people who disagree with Rebane into going away so the circle isn’t exposed to the truth and can waller in their alternate reality undisturbed. This serves up Rebane’s classic crickets defense. The truth is, George (knowing parts of this post taken out of context may end up on RR) few are willing to wade through the bullcrap in order to ‘discuss’ the issues. It works, Paul Emery is about the only left leaning person who consistently posts there any longer. My hat is off to Paul for his perseverance.

I would say that the actual count of Left v Right commenters is about the same. The rightwing commenters post more frequently due to their desire to expand on my commentaries and their ability to very successfully counter the positions offered by the Left in these pages. Leftwingers have a more difficult time contending here, and the weak ones leave under the guise of referring to this blog’s content as “bullcrap” and other niceties. That, of course, is understandable because they run out of reasonable responses very quickly.

And what if Trump had actually done something about debt?
Every lefty that posts here would be screaming at the top of their lungs about what a monster he is.
You can’t have it both ways, boys.

The chain of custody of the ballots is the vulnerablity here. Oh, the evil that lures in the heart of man. A major concern that should be adesssed. Selll ballot harvesting as making it easier for the voter? Of course, and easier for a lot of other folks as well. The heart is desperately wicked. Good thing the R’s did it or else it would not.make the news for discussion.

It can’t happen here? Nope, it can’t happen here. In California, we call that “democracy”
“California works to ensure every ballot is counted properly and every ballot is accounted for. In the most populous state in the nation — and the state with the largest number of registered voters — this takes time. In California, we believe in an inclusive and accessible democracy. We provide voters as many opportunities as possible to cast their ballots.” ——our buddy Alex Padilla……the guy who blocks all inquires…all.

Q: In our quest to make it easier for the voter, are we destroying trust in the process by making it easier for those who have nefarious intents? Chain of custody just got broken. Who knows what darkness lures in the heart of man.

Yep, played with the Intersectionally Slide Ruler myself and made me the most oppressed creature imaginable standing at the apex of pecking order. Then I devolved into the lowlelst ugliest opposer of all time. Self-indenify is the key. Thus, Mr. Scott, I did not cheat either. 🙂
I got stuck on Fish’s second commmet this morning as Miss Piggy was wondering where all of Fish’s friends were. Mostly, outside doing stuff. What a moron, what a ninconpoop. What an unsufferable fool. I think sometimes that man needs a hug.. Fish likes to pick that scab, a rather light hearted amusing quirk of his.

No doubt.
It’s interesting how those arguments fall along party lines, I suspect it’s true in every country with voting. The liberal party (ie. the folks interested in government-based income redistribution) will always favor voting by sketchier members of society, plus there are more opportunities for chicanery in urban areas. You simply can’t steal that many votes in rural areas for a given amount of trouble.
The Surveillance Society’s needs aside (ie. Paul’s 17 intelligence agencies and their own agenda), one thing you’ll run into more and more is the problem of properly ID’ing a person, most notably in the case where their chop is used remotely for important doings. I’ve yet to see a satisfying solution to the problem, and anything used for ballots has to be simple as all get-out given the innate abilities of the desired cadre of voters.

Look, Bill “Tozer” posted 3 times, he must be lonely! And he even posted recently in the dead of the night at 3 something in the AM! Quick, get that civil alarm horn repaired on top of City Hall.
If Miss Piggy…er…His Lardship would just simply open up his blog to Fish, Todd, and others, then maybe folks could directly discuss issues of import with him over on the FUE’s site instead of using 3rd Party intermediators and homing pigeons to reach here. Like passing get notes down the row in class.
I am sure Boardman or Crabb would post only a time two a year, moi zero, and others less often than not, all in all.
Seeing pictures of a the most perfect glass of crystal clean water with a beautiful slice of citrus set perfectly just on the rim jus right and placed perfectly on the perfect plate is nice, but not something I am not inclined to pull out the camera and start snapping away, not to mention start writing half a page about.

That was the most refreshing glass of water in all of Europe, I bet. Whatever floats his boat. It seemed very important to him that his friends and readers shared his joy.

Mueller’s latest today looks like he is desperate. He has Cohen on the ropes but can’t use him as a witness since he is a liar. And all the crap Mueller lists in this latest are not even crimes! Dershowitz is ripping Mueller a new one even though he is a Hillary voter.

He’s going to jail forever unless he’s pardoned, which would be a great gift to the Democrats. Cohen likely gone for a few years. Sure is great being part of Trumps inner circle.
