7 Scenarios for How the Mueller Probe Might 'Wrap Up'
Are we finally going to see the last of this guy?
IMHO it will admit the president did nothing wrong and the Dims will go ballistic.
The breaking news hit a snowy Washington, DC on Wednesday: Newly installed attorney general William Barr appears to be preparing to announce the end of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
1. Mueller sends the attorney general a simple “declination letter,”
2. Mueller compiles a detailed “road map,”
3. Mueller authors a detailed novelistic narrative,
4. He offers both a final round of “his” indictments, as well as a detailed report like in 2 or 3 above
5. He offers a report, but not the report,
6. He closes up shop but refers numerous active cases to other prosecutors
7. Mueller unseals one or more long-standing sealed indictments
Read the details @ https://www.wired.com/story/mueller-russia-probe-trump-wrap-up-scenarios/ to see which you think he will do.
Kratom Can Poison You
A herbal supplement taken to treat pain, anxiety or depression, as well as symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
I mean, what could be wrong with a harmless plant grown in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea?
In more than half of the (poisoning) cases identified in the study, the person exposed to kratom experienced moderate or serious health effects, including seizures, difficulty breathing, coma, kidney failure and cardiac arrest. Eleven of the patients died, and most of these deaths occurred among patients who used kratom with at least one other drug.
It’s not controlled by the FDA because it’s not considered to be a drug.
Supreme Court Delivers Unanimous Victory for Asset Forfeiture Challenge
And Ginsberg wrote the reason.
"For good reason, the protection against excessive fines has been a constant shield throughout Anglo-American history," wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the opinion. "Excessive fines can be used, for example, to retaliate against or chill the speech of political enemies," she wrote, or can become sources of revenue disconnected from the criminal justice system.
Many states claim stuff can be taken for being involved in a crime – without any proof. This is a real win for our Republic.
The 50 Best Movie Soundtracks
Let’s face it, ratings like this are subjective. One person’s favorite is not another’s.
America Graffiti at 43?”
Midnight Cowboy at 41?
At 30. Simon & Garfunkle nailed it.
#9 probably only because it’s the Beatles.
#1? C’mon now, gimme a break.

Bernie Sanders raves about Cuba’s murderous communist dictatorship,

Advising a foreign leader how to defeat the country he swore an oath to defend? Just what kind of American leader is that?

KELLYANNE CONWAY SAVAGES Chris Cuomo For 20 Spectacular Minutes…
(YouTube wiped the video)
“You’re Gonna Have To Be As Miserable As You Are For 6 More Years”
You can savor the video or simply check out a few excerpts below.
Cuomo asked Conway to respond to McCabe’s claim that it’s possible President Trump is compromised, and possibly even an asset of Russia. Kellyanne responded, “It’s hardly worth dignifying with a response. He’s a known liar and leaker and he has said to your colleague, Anderson Cooper, earlier today on a different network — gee, I guess it’s possible but I can’t say that it’s a fact.” Kellyanne Conway dismissed his line of questioning, asking Cuomo, “why the heck are we talking about it?”
During the interview, Conway said she’d like to “Thank the media” and that she’d “love to thank the Democrats for 2019 and 2020 because they are off to an awful start.”Cuomo attempted to interview her, but Conway persisted, “Trying to out-socialist each other. Cuomo again tried to interrupt her, Conway pressed on, “Anti-semitism…socialism.”
After destroying the partisan hack host of CNN on multiple counts, including forcing Cuomo, who repeatedly called President Trump a ‘liar’ to admit he couldn’t name one provable “lie” that Trump has told. Conway landed her best punch near the end of the interview, when she mocked Cuomo for saying about Trump that, “He may be lying, I love that. He may be lying. He may be a Russian agent. Ya know what we know for sure? Here’s something not hypothetical—He is the President. He may not, not be the President. He is the President—Deal with it. Because you’re gonna have to be as miserable as you are for six more years.”
And I still can’t believe she stays married to her anti-Trump schmuck husband.

How President Trump Broke the Left
I love this opening statement:
Whatever happens in the years to come, American politics can never return to what they were before November 8, 2016.
Why, you ask? Because a brash TV celebrity businessman from Queens broke the media, broke Washington D.C., and broke the self-appointed “elite” on both coasts. The stake he drove through their hearts will endure no matter who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And of course that brought about the attempted coup. An attempt by non-elected hacks to undo the legitimate election of the United States President.
Treason in the nth degree.
For more than 30 years, America has been held hostage by a political, economic, media and cultural elite which has been wrong on every major issue you can imagine. From foreign adventurism to trade policies; national sovereignty versus globalization; love of country to hatred of the principles upon which our nation was built—one man has broken the stranglehold of a morally bankrupt “elite” and he isn’t even a politician.
Let’s pray our president stands firm and continues to undo the damage done by these so-called professional politicians.

Survival at the White House
By now, anyone who knows anything about politics understands that President Trump’s arrival on the American scene has totally destroyed the stability established by decades of anonymous bureaucrats. This article delves into this and is worthy of being read.
Besides the Washington press and pundit corps, Donald Trump faced a third and more formidable opponent: the culture of permanent and senior employees of the federal and state governments, and the political appointees in Washington who revolve in and out from business, think tanks, lobbying firms, universities, and the media. Or as the legal scholar of the administrative state Philip Hamburger put it: “Although the United States remains a republic, administrative power creates within it a very different sort of government. The result is a state within the state — an administrative state within the Constitution’s United States.”
Since the U.S. post-war era, the growth of American state and federal government has been enormous. By 2017, there were nearly 3 million civilian federal workers, and another 1.3 million Americans in the uniformed military. Over 22 million local, state, and federal workers had made government the largest employment sector.
The insidious power of the unelected administrative state is easy to understand. After all, it governs the most powerful aspects of modern American life: taxes, surveillance, criminal-justice proceedings, national security, and regulation. The nightmares of any independent trucker or small-business person are being audited by the IRS, having communications surveilled, or being investigated by a government regulator or prosecutor.

An American Epidemic: Toxic Imbecility
Another awesome essay by this source. This is definitely a must-read for anyone who wants to understand what is going on in our nation right now.
President Abraham Lincoln ominously noted, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” And Mr. Lincoln wasn’t just talking about Jussie Smollett paying for his hoax hate crime with a check.
Oh boy, was he ever right.
Symptoms of toxic imbecility include but are certainly not limited to the following:
A febrile fever (colloquially termed, “feeling the Bern”), which leaves one seized with prehensile fingers grasping for other people’s money.
A feeling of irrational gratitude when 25,000 jobs won’t be coming to town to enrich your neighbors.
A delusion that Chicago is “MAGA country,” where Trump supporters brave sub-zero temperatures to accost celebrities whose shows they don’t watch because they’re racist homophobes.
A persistent aching for open borders everywhere except in your gated community.
A paranoid belief that President Trump, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, U.S. Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the NRA, the GOP, the NRCC, the NRSC and, hell, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are all Russian assets.
Conflating contrary views with violence and hate speech; demanding safe spaces from such differing ideas; and a generalized, free-floating anxiety about the dangers of free speech.
Being possessed by Trump Derangement Syndrome (a disorder in and of itself), often manifested by espousing one’s chilling sense that the Putin-sponsored, illegitimate imposition upon America of President Trump means we are all going to die sooner than climate change can kill us.
Gallup: Liberals Outnumber Conservatives In Only Six States
Care to guess which states they are?
C’mon, we all know without having to look at a list.
If this be the case, how did the Dims pull of such wins in the House?
Once again, you don’t have to read the article to figure it out. Vote mining and outright voter fraud with people voting who were not entitled to do so.
However, the survey still shows a large swath of red and pink states bookended by the liberal West Coast, New England, and the mid-Atlantic, including the Washington, D.C. area.
So, basically, where there is filth, crowding, and poverty, liberals rule.
“The only Midwest state shaded light blue, which signifies ‘less conservative than average,’ is Illinois.
“The residents of most U.S. states are more likely to identify as conservative, than as liberal in their political ideology. In 25 states, the conservative advantage is significantly greater than the national average, including 19 ‘highly conservative’ states in which conservatives outnumber liberals by at least 20 percentage points,” said Gallup.

President Trump nominates Kelly Craft to replace Nikki Haley as UN ambassador
Not much about her on Wiki except that she’s on her 3rd marriage to a billionaire coal-mining executive for Alliance Resource Partners, L.P., the third-largest coal producer in the eastern United States.
That ought to really endear her to the Leftists in the Senate.
She’s currently the ambassador to Canada and George W sent her to be an alternate delegate to the UN. She clearly knows her way around. Apparently no kids.

Members of Congress taking Alzheimer’s Meds
Wanna bet Queen Nancy’s one of them?
The original post about this came in Oct 2017 via Rush Limbaugh.
Three headlines from the Drudge Report. Here’s a link to one of them:
A pharmacist says he has filled Alzheimer's prescriptions for members of Congress @ https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/11/16458142/congress-alzheimers-pharmacist
Her story, which you can read in full here, includes a relatively alarming passage in which the pharmacist casually mentions that some members apparently have Alzheimer’s:
Mike Kim, the reserved pharmacist-turned-owner of the pharmacy, said he has gotten used to knowing the most sensitive details about some of the most famous people in Washington.
“At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. And these are the people that are running the country,” Kim said, listing treatments for conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
“It makes you kind of sit back and say, ‘Wow, they’re making the highest laws of the land and they might not even remember what happened yesterday.'”
And these are the people writing our laws!!!!
Also note that there hasn’t been a peep out of the LSM about this. Not a word!

Waste In Afghanistan
Let’s forget the almost 1 trillion dollars spent on that farce. Let’s consider that, as of Jul 27, 2018, we’ve had 2,372 military deaths and 20,320 servicemembers wounded in action.
American blood is a hell of a lot more precious than dollars that really have no value based upon something solid and real.
This article points out something very important:
We think of Afghanistan as a nation, but it is not, at least not by our western understanding of the term reports Dan Rather. In truth, Afghanistan is a collection of provinces inhabited by tribes,. Although no ethnic group has a majority, Pashtuns and Tajiks make up roughly 40 and 30 percent of the population, respectively. Hazaras and Uzbeks constitute another 10 percent each. That said, many of the tribes have subsets, and even some of the tribal subsets have subsets. 1
Although civilization here is very old, civility is not. Fiercely held tribal and ethnic loyalties have given rise to grudges, hostilities and hatreds held for centuries, if not for millennia. These are coupled with a split-second readiness to settle quarrels in a deadly fashion.
And the Taliban won’t even talk to the central government because they know what a farce it is.
