And from a NY perspective and its managing to get traction –
The allegation, part of the long-running FBI investigation into the 45th president, is at the center of a new filing by special counsel John Durham — in which he alleged that the Clinton campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House to try to make the Trump-Russia connection stick.
Clinton herself amplified the claim on social media, tweeting on Oct. 31, 2016: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”

The company took offline its 100-megawatt Moss Landing battery facility after a safety system activated late on Sunday, according to a statement. It’s the second incident at the plant in less than six months.
In September, Vistra closed the plant’s 300-megawatt facility after some battery modules overheated. An investigation found that smoke from a failed bearing in an air-handling unit in the building triggered a heat suppression system to improperly spray water on battery racks, causing damage and some to overheat, according to a statement from Vistra last month.
Early findings from the most recent incident indicate that water hoses leaked and some batteries shorted, causing smoke in the building, similar to what was observed with the prior issue, Vistra said.
The cause of the latest outage is under investigation, the company said. No injuries were reported.

Revealed: Clintonworld takeover of Black Lives Matter
“Black Lives Matter filings reveal prominent Democratic lawyer Marc Elias and another longtime ally of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have taken on key roles in the charity amid scrutiny over its leadership and finances.
Elias, best known for his funding of British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier while he served as Clinton’s 2016 campaign general counsel, appears to be representing the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation through his recently formed Elias Law Group. BLM’s national organization repeatedly lists the Elias firm as one of its addresses and states in its short-year 2020 Form 990 that its books were now in the care of the Elias Law Group……
Elias wrote on the fifth anniversary of Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump that “I am still with her.”
Elias was punished by a federal appeals court panel in March for a deceptive, duplicative Texas court filing, and the judges shot down his effort to wriggle out of the sanctions in January.
He benefited from “dark money” for years with his Democracy Docket Legal Fund, a “fiscally sponsored project” of the Hopewell Fund, whose board hired a left-wing dark money firm (Arabella Advisors) to manage its fiscal sponsorships.
While at Perkins Coie, Elias represented Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and the DNC in 2020 and was the general counsel for now-Vice President Kamala Harris’s failed presidential bid. He also represented the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and multiple other PACs.
Elias has testified before a grand jury set up by special counsel John Durham.
Moore is listed as a top leader at the Dewey Square Group consulting firm. She has a long history in Clintonworld, including serving as an assistant to President Bill Clinton and as the director of White House political affairs, where she advised both Bill and Hillary Clinton. She went on to work as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee.“

BT 9:56 – “Now, lets work on that name ‘Idaho’.”
I researched how this state got the name ‘Idaho’ and it’s actually pretty amusing. The word Idaho was fabricated out of whole cloth by a huckster who was hoping to get the (then) territory of Colorado named Idaho in the early 1860s. He claimed it meant ‘jewel’ or ‘gem’ in some imaginary Injun language.
Linquists familiar with native dialects pointed out there was no such word spoken by any tribe in the Americas and they actually had no concept of such a thing. But the campaign to try and name Colorado by that faux native term had legs and as we are aware – tell a story oft enough and the rubes will go along.
When it came time to name the territory that had been separated from the Northwest Territory, miners originally from Colorado who were now seeking gold in this new territory pushed for the name Idaho. It stuck and we’re now stuck with it.
