[There is a lot happening in the world while our federal govt is focused on the attempts to remove President Trump from office before his term is up next Wednesday.  Haven't heard much discussion of how our 'friends' and declared enemies are preparing for the new Harris/Biden administration.  There's some serious stuff going down as they anticipate a new TBD foreign policy from Washington.  Usually the bad guys pull off some kind of test to gauge the measure of America's new Big Kahuna.  gjr]

    Democrat o’ the Day Award Goes To!!!:
    “Antifa supporter Daniel Alan Baker was just arrested for plotting an attack on Trump supporters on Inauguration Day.
    He trained in Syria in 2017 with the YPG, was featured on VICE, and in 2020 participated in the CHAZ insurrection in Seattle, per DOJ documents”

    You do have to wonder about the training:
    “18. On October L4, 2020, BAKER authored another Facebook post
    advising of his training. The post states: “did 30 min jiujitsu, 30 min forced march
    with full medic backpack and weapons and then ashtanga yoga. The enemy is
    training.””
    Maybe he could do a set of classes like Sonny Puzikas.

    “The only good thing about progressives inviting 100 million stray cats into the country is that there’s no longer need to pay any attention to their patently false but ostentatiously presented “concern” for the environment.”
    It would be interesting to see the average greenhouse gas cost of moving a single person from the Third World to the First. Sadly, any study like that would ruin your tenure track.
    Oh well, there was a time when the Sierra Club was an ecology-minded group rather than yet another immigration lobbyist.

    Somehow this figures.
    “President-elect Joe Biden has appointed Thomas Zimmerman as a Special Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel as part of a raft of new appointments announced on December 30.

    Recently, Zimmerman worked as a visiting scholar at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, focusing on Afghanistan, Somalia, and Chinese regional policy.”

    ” Since at least 2014, the FBI has assessed that Chinese intelligence officers have used SASS affiliation as cover identities.”

    Question: Just how easy is it to get a security clearance nowadays? One friend of mine had a heckuva time getting one just because his wife was a (Western) European foreign national.

    30 minutes……? Impressive….an efficient method for achieving combat readiness….like “7 minute abs”!

    I refer a quick run through of Brazilian Butt Lift work outs. Love to swing open the door and run through their class as all the young ladies in spontaneous combustion screech “ It’s a man, it’s a man!” Reminds me of the streaking fad or the collegiate panty raids.
    Thanks for the gift at 9:27 am. This one made my top five list. Hard to whittle it down to just today’s winner. So, top 3-5 will do. Thank you.

    You just know it’ll be a successful administration when the run-up includes this kind of thing.
    “Federal prisons on lockdown in run-up to Biden inauguration
    The lockdown decision is precautionary, no specific information led to it and it is not in response to any significant events occurring inside facilities, the Bureau of Prisons said.”

    ‘First Trump declassified Russia document: Christopher Steele’s 2017 confession to the FBI’
    Steele told FBI he leaked Russia collusion story to help Clinton and Great Britain, and was connected to his primary dossier source by former NSC staffer and impeachment witness Fiona Hill.
    “The 26-page report also discussed in detail Steele’s reliance on his primary sub-source, an Eastern-Europe-born academic who had worked at the U.S. liberal think tank the Brookings Institution.
    The FBI recently released documents showing that the sub-source had been the focus of an FBI counterintelligence probe back in 2009-11 and that the bureau assessed he had posed a possible national security threat to the U.S. and had Russian intelligence.
    The FBI was seeking to obtain a FISA warrant against the man when he fled the U.S., causing the FBI to close down its probe.
    The most explosive revelation about the sub-source in the newly declassified documents was that former Trump National Security Council Russia expert Fiona Hill, an impeachment witness in 2019 against Trump, had introduced Steele to his sub-source in 2011, well after the FBI had opened up its probe on the source.”
