[The NCAA now allows transgender females to compete in women's track events, and soon other sports. The big concern that needs to be addressed is not that the transgenders are setting new records for women, but that this makes no never mind to the officials now fashioning this new sports world, “Focusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant because this is a rights issue. We shouldn’t be worried about trans people taking over the Olympics. We should be worried about their fairness and human rights instead.” (more here) gjr]

The bad news about Trump, our Liar in Chief just keeps gushing out. Here’s the latest:
“Trump Lied About Not Ordering Jared Kushner’s Top Security Clearance: Report
The president previously said he had no role in securing the top-secret clearance for his son-in-law.
“President Donald Trump ordered a top-secret security clearance be granted to Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser, last May despite objections raised by intelligence and White House officials, four people familiar with the matter told The New York Times.
The Thursday report contradicts previous statements Trump made claiming he had no role in giving Kushner his clearance. Ivanka Trump, Kushner’s wife and a senior adviser to her father, reiterated that claim earlier this month.
Kushner lost his initial security clearance, which gave him access to some of the country’s most closely guarded secrets, last February after reports that he and others were operating with the clearance even though their background checks were not finished. It was restored to Kushner last May when the president overruled a decision by then-White House Counsel Don McGahn, the Times reported.
John Kelly, who was White House chief of staff at the time, was so infuriated by Trump’s demand that he wrote an internal memo stating he had been “ordered” to give Kushner the clearance, according to the Times’ sources.”

Lost Spirits Distillery
Abomination-Sayers of the Law
They name these peated whiskeys after chapter headings from The Island of Dr. Moreau. Very apt.
Lost Spirits are the folks who patented a supercharging of the aging process… weeks rather than decades. For about $40, they sell a very boggy Scotch that fooled my palate into thinking it was a 16 year old Lagavulin. They start with an Islay white lightning, unaged. They bring it to Los Angeles where they sell its soul to the devil and do the sciency ageing thing.
My son had a bottle of it in his pantry when I was visiting over the last weekend… very yummy. Cask strength, so a splash will do it justice.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/how-house-republicans-are-making-life-difficult-for-democrats-pelosi
House Republicans are driving Democrats crazy, and driving a major wedge through the majority party.
GOPers are using a garden-variety procedural tool to goad Democrats into taking challenging votes on the floor – and risking the defeat or alteration of legislation which is on the verge of passing.
The parliamentary gambit is called the “Motion to Recommit,” or MTR as it’s known in congressional shorthand. MTR’s must be “germane” and tied directly to the legislation at hand. In short, an MTR can’t deal with cats if the bill deals with dogs.
At the end of almost every debate, just before the House votes on most major legislation, the majority provides the minority a parliamentary option, which, depending on how it’s drafted, could either change or possibly kill bills. In its purest form, a MTR is just that: an effort to “recommit” legislation to committee, whisking it off the floor.

“Those prisons are rough, they’re rough places and bad things happened. But I don’t believe he knew about it,” Trump said. “He tells me he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been caught spreading a lie about Donald Trump Jr. being part of a “criminal conspiracy.”
“But all Ocasio-Cortez is doing here is spreading a lie told by the prison-bound Michael Cohen during his congressional testimony this week.
All of this nonsense surrounds the perfectly legal hush money President Trump paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. She blackmailed the president during the campaign and threatened to go public with the claim the two of them had a one night stand a dozen years ago.
He ended up paying her off, which is not illegal.”
