Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [Wow!  Didn't mean to let the last sandbox overfill with over 300 comments.  But lots of important stuff to discuss and provide links for, among the unfinished ones being the asymmetrical Cambridge Analytica turmoil and the latest findings surfacing about Mueller's doings at the FBI.  gjr]

  • [The Miami bridge collapse embarrasses me as an engineer – such screw-ups are supposed to occur only in third world countries.  And then we find that this was a 'shovel ready' project from the past, designed by the nearby university, that took five years of bureaucratic buffeting before being awarded to a problem-plagued construction firm. …

  • [Time to revisit the national education scene with the just published critique Common Core by Nicholas Tampio (review here), and also enjoy the comedy of ‘Doomsday Climate Scenarios Are a Joke’ by Oren Cass (more here).  Of course we can also re-circle the Trump and Stormy imbroglio a few more times.  gjr]  

  • [The corruption of the FBI is detailed by former federal prosecutor and US attorney Joseph Digenova in the feb2018 issue of Imprimis.  Entitled ‘The Politicization of the FBI’, this summary of the 2016-17 ongoings with the Clinton and Trump campaigns is the most clear, concise, and complete recounting I have read.  It totally corroborates the…

  • [I think I pushed all the liberal hot buttons in my 16feb18 post on school shootings.  So gather your continuing thoughts on the topic there.  And please use this fresh sand for dissecting Mueller's latest indictments and Trump's latest travails.  gjr]

  • [This is your Happy Valentine's Day sandbox in which we may pursue all the divers love affairs that ended badly with sexual harassment and abuse and … which are now the newly preferred weapon in the armory assembled to destroy President Trump's administration.  I'm sure when this has run its course, a new one will already…

  • [We'll keep the 2feb18 sandbox open for some residual Nunes memo discussion until an update post on the now dueling memos.  Mea culpa for not have a general purpose sandbox open during this interval. gjr]

  • [The Nunes memo is out and may be read here on Politico and other sites.  I've added a link to download Kim Strassel's 2feb18 WSJ column 'Memo Reading for Nonpartisans' here - Download Memo Reading for Nonpartisans.  Lots to consider and discuss.  gjr]
