   What we have learned this week.
   We have learned through documents that the FBI was talking to Fusion GPS’s Christoper Steele weeks before any Investigation was opened into Russian Collusion between a low tier unpaid Trump Campaign volunteer (George Papadopoulos) and the Russians. We have learned that the intelligence that the CIA was receiving, the FBI was receiving, and the information the State Department was receiving (and passing on to the FBI and the West Wing) was all from the same confidential source: Steele. Thus we have learned that the investigation opened into George Papadopoulos was just to provide cover to justify the already on going spying on the Trump Campaign here and abroad.
   We have learned that Steele solicited/approached the State Department ten days before a FISA warrant was submitted to the FISA court with the information alleging that the Russians were engaged in a spying operation on the DNC (with a mole planted in the HRC campaign) run out of Russian Consulate in Miami. This “Dossier” was stamped “VERIFIED” by one James Comey when submitted to the FISA court. We also learned that a State Department official rejected Steele’s information because there is NO Russian Consulate in Miami, roflmao. Other information Steele told the State Department official was easily disproven as well. Verified? Rightttt.

   Wrong again team lefty –
   “About a year ago, President Trump withdrew the JCPOA, you’ll recall. I’ll bet on your television station folks were talking about how oil prices would rise, they’d spike, it would be chaos in the crude oil markets,” the secretary of state told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble.
   “In fact,” he added, “crude oil prices today are lower than they were the day that we withdrew from the JCPOA. Lower. Not higher, not radically higher, not crazy higher, not chaos — but lower.”
   Pompeo is correct that oil is lower now than it was on the day the U.S. withdrew from the Iran deal.
   International standard Brent crude closed at $74.16 on May 8, 2018, compared with $70.62 last Friday. West Texas Intermediate stood at $69.06 last year then, but it ended at $61.66 in the latest session.

   Did those mutha mullahs stick with the plan anyway?
   Four commercial vessels have been targeted by “sabotage operations” near territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates, its foreign ministry says.
   The sabotage attempt occurred in the Gulf of Oman, the statement said, but the ministry gave no details of what form it took.
   There were no injuries or deaths.
   Tensions are high in the area – a crucial oil and natural gas corridor. In recent days the US has sent additional warships there.
   The UAE foreign ministry called the attempted sabotage a “dangerous development” and called upon the international community to “prevent such actions” in future.
   Earlier on Sunday, the government of the UAE emirate of Fujairah denied media reports that there had been blasts at its port.
   The alleged sabotage comes amid rising tensions between neighbouring Iran and the US, which this week deployed warships to counter what the White House called “clear indications” of threats from Iran to its US forces in the region.

   Creepy grampa joes past is catching up –
   Gates, who led the Pentagon under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, said during a Sunday interview with CBS’s Face the Nation he stood by statements made in his 2014 memoir that Biden had “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” The show’s host, Margaret Brennan, looped Gates’s prior comments into a broader question about whether Biden had the ability to “be an effective commander-in-chief.”
   “I don’t know, I don’t know,” Gates said. “I stand by that statement. He and I agreed on some key issues in the Obama administration, we disagreed significantly on Afghanistan and some other issues.”
   “I think that the vice president has some issues with the military, so how he would get along with the senior military and what that relationship would be,” Gates continued. “I just think it would depend on the personalities at the time.”

    Yet they whine about Trump. Never mind their own criminals.
    “The Obama White House kept tabs on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email accounts that the State Department improperly denied, according to newly released emails.
    The emails, which were provided to Judicial Watch, show for the first time that the Obama White House was aware of the Clinton-related FOIA request, which the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) submitted to the State Department in December 2012.
    The State Department denied the request in May 2013, claiming that no responsive records existed. That despite officials at the State Department, the White House and even President Obama himself knowing that Clinton used a personal email account for government business.”

    CNN tallied 10.9 percent of the total. Fox mustered 3 percent, finishing far below its cable news competitor. You know, the outlet that Fox News regularly trounces in the ratings.

    Train those young shooters to get them ready to be in the armed forces and have more fun!
    President Trump signed legislation Friday to created broader access to funding for state-level gun range expansion and improvement.
    The legislation is titled Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act, but is known more simply as the Range Bill. It deals with Pittman-Robinson funds, which have been compounding from ammo and gun manufacturing excise tax revenues since 1937.
    If a state wildlife agency decides to build a new recreational shooting range that cost $1 million, the state would only need to apply $100,000 of state funds to access the remaining $900,000 from Pittman-Robertson funds, instead of the $250,000 down payment currently required. It would also give states up to five years to use those funds, which is crucial when navigating the approvals for acquiring lands, permits and approvals for projects.
    The Range Bill has been pushed unsuccessfully for over a decade.

    ————————-
    Quotes:
    Friendly fire: “It was important that [the Peter Strzok-Lisa Page affair] be investigated and important that there be discipline that follows it, but, yeah, it made us all look bad. Peter Strzok is a very talented agent. It’s a personal tragedy for him. But as much as I care about individuals, I care about the institution more. It hurt the institution.” —James Comey
    Friendly fire II: “I don’t know that we need to take the additional step of licensing every single firearm to every single owner. I think that may be too far.” —Beto O’Rourke
    Hot air: “There were 400,000 apprehensions at our border with Mexico last year. As you know, many of them were kids — kids who, if they were lucky, showed up with their parents. But increasingly, we are finding that those who are arriving are farmers from Honduras who are trying to plant what used to grow but does not any longer because they, too, are in historic droughts and cannot feed themselves. If you think 400,000 is bad, wait until some countries in the Western Hemisphere can no longer support human life, because that is the direction we are headed.” —Beto O’Rourke
    Tone-deaf: “The wall I worry about the most is not the president’s fantasy wall on the Mexican border that’s never going to get built anyway. What I worry about are the very real walls being put up between us as we get divided and carved up.” —Pete Buttigieg, who has no qualms about putting up a wall by vilifying Mike Pence for his Biblical views on same-sex marriage
    The BIG Lie: “In their lifetime, one in five women go [to Planned Parenthood]. And most of them are going there for contraception, birth control. They’re going there for mammograms.” —Sen. Amy Klobuchar (Mammograms are not a Planned Parenthood service.)
    Delusions: “If we do not secure our democracy and ensure that every vote counts in 2020, we will be having a very different conversation, possibly in Russian, in 2030.” —Stacey Abrams
    Non compos mentis: “There’s a kind of a calming feeling, I always tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence, in many ways, had been wiped out… I mean, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that [safe haven], in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away, right? And it was forced on them.” —Rep. Rashida Tlaib
    And last… “[Her claim] ignores the Jewish presence in the region and efforts to establish a Jewish state that predated the Holocaust, ignores that her ancestors allied with Hitler at the time of the Holocaust, and ignores decades of violence and terrorism directed at Israel both before, during, and after the Holocaust.” —Philip Klein

    Don’t belive your lying eyes, that pesky bragging video about black mailing Ukraine with a billion tax payers dollars was just a joke – Creepy gampa joe.
    So, basically the allegation is this: To protect his son’s company and that sweet, sweet $50,000 per month salary, as vice president, Biden abused his position by threatening to kill a billion dollars in aid to one of our allies if that country’s prosecutor, who was looking into corruption surrounding Hunter’s company, was not fired.
    During an appearance on Breitbart News Tonight last month, Schweizer said the prosecutor was indeed fired and pointed to reporting from The Hill’s John Solomon, who wrote that this prosecutor “told me in written answers to questions that, before he was fired as general prosecutor, he had made ‘specific plans’ for the investigation that ‘included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”

    You don’t say –
    Who says it wasn’t them [the Cuban communist regime] who killed Commander Chávez to get him out of the way and leave [the leadership of Venezuela] open to the occupation of anyone who would … serve to send their riches to Cuba – not to the Cuban people, but to continue contributing to the enrichment of the same people?” Rangel asks in the video. Chávez died in 2013 of what the Venezuelan government said was advanced cancer in Havana, where he had gone for treatment.
    Rangel says that he lived in Cuba for six years, which helped him “grasp the reality of all that the Cuban people live, the Cuban people who have been subjected to the yoke of the Castro-communist dictatorship for over 60 years.”
    “They live in conditions of poverty that they blame on the embargo and it is false,” he says of the Cubans. “They have created a cocoon for those at the top of the Castro communist regime that does not allow the resources of the country, which are many, to trickle down to the Cuban state.”
    Rangel goes on to accuse the Castro regime of using “psychoterror tactics” in Cuba “similar to what they are doing to Venezuela … they have planted in us all that psychoterror that has caused fear of participation in seeking the change we need in the people and the military.”
    Rangel concludes urging Venezuelan soldiers to, like him, publicly renounce Maduro, as not doing so is a betrayal to the Venezuelan people. He cites Article 328 of the Venezuelan constitution – which he holds in the video – as the legal basis for them to no longer take orders from the dictator.

    Ban on single family-housing in CA coming?
    “I wish that it were less restrictive,” Smith said. “But at the same time, this is quite momentous: the abolition of single-family zoning in California.”
    Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Democrat representing the East Bay Area who co-authored SB 50, said single-family zoning policies were deliberately crafted to exclude people “for economic reasons and race reasons.”
    “That’s the poster child for discriminatory zoning,” Skinner said on a recent episode of “Gimme Shelter: The California Housing Crisis Podcast.”
    “I love this inclusion of the fourplex because it allows us to get at some of that exclusion and gives other people the same type of access to the neighborhoods to have the great parks, the great schools, and other great assets,” she continued.
    Last month, the Times wrote that Wiener “intended for his bill to push high-income neighborhoods zoned only for single-family homes to make room for apartments as redress for historical wrongs.”

    California does not want to build the kind of houses that millennials want.
    Contrary to reports that the recession has left Millennials disillusioned about owning a home, 75 percent believe homeownership is an important long-term goal and 73 percent see real estate as a good investment. About a quarter already own a home and 60 percent plan to purchase in the future. According to estimates, Millennials aged 25-plus account for 15 percent of new home shoppers. Lending constraints, student debt and down payments are still hurdles, but as the economy and jobs improve, substantially larger numbers of these buyers will shop for homes. Over the next five years, Millennials are expected to account for about two-thirds of new households, increasing to 21.6 million households by 2018.
    [. . .]
    Millennials have long been touted as the generation that prefers city over suburbs, but multiple recent studies show that city living only appeals to a small portion, from 5 to 16 percent (depending on the study), while 55 to 66 percent say they prefer the suburbs. On the other hand, younger Millennials who are renting definitely favor urban settings.
    Because the generation is so large, even the small percentage opting for city dwellings — 10 percent, according to 2014 data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) — translates into big numbers, observes Rose Quint, NAHB’s assistant vice president of research. And if they can’t quite afford that first home, respondents to NAHB’s survey would sacrifice extra finished space or drive farther to work, schools or shops. One compromise they won’t make is on quality of materials.
    Three-quarters want a single-family home. When asked about home size, 2,475 square feet is what a majority would like to have. Two-story homes (52 percent) and open concept floor plans (78 percent) were also preferences in NAHB’s research. For bedrooms, 81 percent said they wanted either three or four and two or two and a half baths would be fine. Emphasis Added

    If they cannot buy one in CA, they will move to a state where they can. California is shooting in self in the foot with A-21 rack’em and stack’em zoning. The untethered generation will move to get what they want, a single family home.

    Stealth force multipliers are a real thing!
    He said that the group also discussed fielding the drone as a wingman to both the F-35 and F-15 no later than calendar 2022. That could mean a potential large order not long after the Valkyrie completes its planned demonstration flights this year, as Kratos said it would take about 15 to 20 months from order to delivery as it ramps up production.
    The company also believes it could book an order for the Gremlins project, in which it is a major subcontractor, either this year or in 2020. Gremlins is a project launched out of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency that calls for a swarm of small, reusable drones that can be launched midair from a C-130 air transport.

    Well that just confirms what we already knew –
    Social events captured on Weissmann’s calendar include birthday parties that seemed to be planned monthly, but took place less often as work bore down on the office last year. The calendar also shows the office favored “potluck” meals for holidays, including a “progressive potluck” holiday party on Dec. 13, 2017.

    The story comes into focus –
    The current ramping up of U.S. military posturing against Iran was triggered by U.S. intelligence that showed Tehran-backed militias in Iraq moving rockets to locations that could hit bases where American troops are positioned in the nation, according to sources familiar with the intelligence.
    Trump administration officials have said the Pentagon’s bumping up of the deployment last week of a U.S. aircraft carrier and bomber group to the region was justified by intelligence on threats of a potentially imminent attack by Iran on U.S. interests in Iraq, but have provided no specific details publicly.
    However, a report on Wednesday said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s surprise trip to Iraq earlier this month came after U.S. intelligence had picked up communications related to the movement of rockets in Iraq by Iran-backed militias there.
    Mr. Pompeo told top Iraqi military officials during a sudden visit to Baghdad on May 7 that Iraqi forces needed to keep the Iran-backed militias in check, according to the report by Reuters, which cited two Iraqi security sources as saying the secretary of state warned that Washington would respond with force if the militias weren’t contained.
    “The message from the Americans was clear. They wanted guarantees that Iraq would stop those groups threatening U.S. interests,” a senior Iraqi military source with knowledge of Pompeo’s trip said, according to the report. “They said if the U.S. were attacked on Iraqi soil, it would take action to defend itself without coordinating with Baghdad.”

    Guess who has stepped over the line to trash yours truly.
    Writing in the comments for the Hits&Misses that he started the hassling of Mrs. Rebane, he wrote, “The Union newspaper just praised our business last month. “Grass Valley’s Chamber welcomes Sierra FoodWineArt, the classy magazine published by Jeff and Shannon Pelline”
    https://www.theunion.com/…/lorraines-lowdown-walking…
    Did it ever praise your business? Come to think of it, what is your business other than spending time spitting like a camel in these forums?”
    The column he held out as being praise for him and his business was filled with submissions (about 50 by my count) largely submitted by people who wanted a bit of free publicity… meaning he or his wife Shannon or his kid (whatever their name is) made the submission.
    Way to go, Jeff!
