Laura Ingraham: Newly Released Email Shows Obama's White House Meeting With Ukranian Prosecutors to Discuss... Hunter Biden and Burisma
And the fake "whistleblower," Eric Ciaramella, checked the Ukranian officials into the White House?
Politico reporter Ken Vogel contacted the White House for comment on a story he was working on. It's this email that has just been revealed.
On May 1, 2019, Vogel contacted State Department official Kate Schilling about a story he was working on regarding an Obama administration meeting in January 2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and mentioned the name of the CIA analyst believed to be the whistleblower whose complaint sparked impeachment proceedings that led to two articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Ingraham did not state the name of the alleged whistleblower — Fox News hosts are banned from doing so until the identity is confirmed — and blacked out the name when showing excerpts of documents. However, she likely was referring to Eric Ciaramella, who some Republicans and conservative media figures believe is the whistleblower. In the email, Vogel wrote, "We are going to report that [State Department official] Elizabeth Zentos attended a meeting at the White House on 1/19/2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and embassy officials as well as ... [redacted] from the NSC ... the subjects discussed included efforts within the United State government to support prosecutions, in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, of Burisma Holdings, ... and concerns that Hunter Biden's position with the company could complicate such efforts." ... Using archived Obama White House visitor logs, Ingraham said her team was able to corroborate details of the January 2016 meeting, showing on the screen the names of Ukrainian officials checked into the White House by Ciaramella, who was Ukraine director on the National Security Council.
EXCLUSIVE: Why did the Obama White House host a meeting for Ukrainian officials where the Bidens and Burisma were discussed? Organized by the person many have pegged as the whistleblower no less! https://t.co/BWJaNXzbCL

Kinda like how DC freaked out when Trump originally tweeted Obama had wiretapped him (sent 3/2017) when no less than the NYT said as much on its front page the very day he was inaugurated.

IMO Trump is a Master of Chaos.
He thrives in it and allows his enemies to drown in it.
I don't believe Trump ever wanted the impeachment crap to go forward, but he may very well use it as a campaign issue as he tries to get back control of the House.
All the Repubs have to say is, do you really want two more years of this crap?

First, the Prosecution lists the Charges made, and in it's opening statement, the Prosecutor lays out a Road Map for the Jury. He explains what the charges are, he explains what evidence he has to back up the charges, he tells the jury what witnesses and/or documentary evidence he is going to present to them to verify his claim that he has evidence. The rest of his case will be the Prosecutor showing the jury what he told them he would show them in his opening statement / road map.
After he's done, the Defense gets its turn. The Defense will dispute the Prosecutions evidence; the Defense may say "We will show you that the Defendant was in South America the day this happened!" or whatever. After both sides present, they make closing statements, and the Jury makes its decision.
BUT... if the Prosecution presents no evidence, then the Defense doesn't have to do anything. It's over right there. This happened most recently in the big Exxon Trial brought by the New York State's Attorney General. At the close of his phase of the trial, the Judge ruled that New York had presented NO evidence of any kind to support their allegations, therefore case dismissed, no need for a defense of any kind by Exxon.
So - what has Schiff been doing for the last 2 days? Does anyone see any evidence of a "Road Map" at all? Does anyone have any idea of what kind of evidence he wants to present that he knows would prove his claims? (Hint - "lets talk to this guy and MAYBE he'll say something that kinda supports my side" is NOT evidence.
If we treat this as a real Trial, the way the Left wants - this thing is dead already.

Forget trading witnesses period. Republicans are under no obligation to give the Democrats squat.
If Republicans want witnesses they have the votes and they don't have to allow the Democrats any witnesses.

Lisa Murkowski to @jeremyherb on concerns about a court fight over witnesses delaying trial: "The House made a decision that they didn't want to slow things down by having to go through the courts. And yet now they're basically saying you guys gotta go through the courts.

And repetition. Need a lot of that. Not just for the dunces in the Senate, but for the dunces in the Press. The basic argument would take five minutes:
"There are no crimes listed in the articles. The articles are inscrutable and vague. The claim of 'obstruction' is absurd and an overreach of congressional power over the executive per the president's established constitutional authority. This was a railroading in the other chamber. They provided no evidence. They provided no witnesses. They have no case. This is political hackery. They should all be ashamed, but they're bad people and so they're not."
Take all the time. Be mean. Be repetitive. Call out everyone. Flay them alive, repeatedly, until it is over.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Historian Slams Greta Thunberg: "I Don’t See Her in Beijing or Delhi"
“60% of CO2 emissions since Greta Thunberg was born is attributable to China… but nobody talks about that. They talk as if its somehow Europeans and Americans who are going to fix this problem… which is frustrating because it doesn’t get to the heart of the matter,” said Ferguson. “If you’re serious about slowing CO2 emissions and temperatures rising it has to be China and India you constrain,” he added, noting that while Greta travels to New York and Davos, “I don’t see her in Beijing or Delhi.”And this is coming from Niall Ferguson, who is a bit of a turd and happily accepts the premise of AGW! So the appropriate response to any of these shrill anti-progress lunatics is to laugh, and point at China and tell them to fix that country first, before they start on the smaller carbon footprint of the USA and Western Europe. But there is a non-zero possibility of getting tossed out on their asses, or maybe even worse. China doesn't take kindly to internal criticism, especially from entitled foreigners blogging from their luxury hotel rooms. Does anyone else dream of a time when the Gretas of the world get knocked on their asses by people who are truly offended that she has all of the benefits of carbon energy and wants to deny it to everyone else?

No, I'm not saying it's copying it, I'm saying that your soul would be temporarily in two places at once. Or a better way to look at it would be that your soul would occupy a discontinuous volume while the transportation happens. Maybe.

That point being that *many*, if not most, public figures and institutions that in some way oppose the AGW nonsense accept, or fail to explicitly reject, the very dubious hypothesis.
Including some key ones. When Trump properly trashed the Paris Accord, it was because it was a "bad deal" for the US. I guess it just needed some work, like NAFTA becoming USMCA.
And just this week, Crenshaw (TX) beclowned himself on the topic, talking about a "third way" that avoided "inaction". "Inaction" on what, warrior-scientist?

sobering call to action. Nobody speaks truth to power as she does."
She is like a pet to them She is no different than the activists groups in the US who play sue-and-settle with like-minded federal bureaucrats.
-- Step 1: Billionaires want to implement "green" policies that allow them to reduce all but them to serf-like lives (live in pod in the city, public transportation, eat bugs, etc.).
-- Step 2: Get daughter of activist actors to attend perform her climate change hysteric rage at Davos, EU, UN and "scold them" into implementing green policies.
-- Step 3: Pretend to be convinced by this stunning and brave child that we all must - it is imperative to little Greta's future!- that we implement the green policies they all wanted in step 1.

shot dead by masked assailants in front of his house in southwestern

recently assassinated Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani, reports state

I looked this up yesterday - I think domestic, especially since his unit had killed maybe a couple hundred protesters over the last 2 or 3 months, so he had a LOT of enemies who wanted his blood.
It was a very slick hit, shows that the simplest plan is the best plan. Clearly someone was doing surveillance and knew when he'd be home. He was in front of his house, 2 guys wearing masks zoomed up on a motorcycle. Each one had a rifle and opened fire, then they instantly zoomed away and disappeared in traffic. Quick getaway, almost impossible to defend against. Sounds local to me.

had vegimite once when a co-worker that spent time as a computer programmer in New Guinea with vacation time meant flying to Australia. He moved back to the states and would order it from Australia He developed a taste for it. I believe it was Kraft Vegimite.
Vile stuff. This coming from a guy who was around homemade head cheese and blood sausage.
Now, you can order it from Amazon. An Amazon review
Vegemite is dreadful, let's just get that clear. If you took a can of beer, dumped it into a pot, added a cup of salt, and boiled it down to a thick, black sludge, you would get something very much like Vegemite. It is concentrated evil. When you spread a very thin smear of the stuff on a piece of toast and bite into it, the amount of flavor that hits your tongue is enough to short circuit your brain. You will instantly hate it. But then you will take another bite because the full horror of the taste can not be processed all in one go, and you will want to double check that it really was as bad as you had originally thought. You will then finish the piece of toast and probably make yourself another one. Such is the mystery of Vegemite. God help me, but I think I actually love the stuff now.

Greetings, applicant. There is a wrong answer to "What is your sexual/gender identity?"
So just write it down here, so we can have a record in HR that you're a cross-dressing married man or bisexual or not sure whether you're male or female. It will live in our archives and it will never be put to misuse by anyone in our organization whom you piss off -- or by anyone else who happens to get hold of it. Of course it's your private business, but we feel we have a right to know the bedroom habits of our employees -- or even our job applicants.

This is always the goal of the aristocracy. There's no point being an aristocrat if the hoi polloi have it good, too. It isn't about good for them, it's about wildly, almost incomprehensibly better for them than it is for you. Even if they aren't actually objectively that great, it is the gap that matters.
Like all Leftism, environmentalism (and progressivism, and all of its bedfellows) is about undoing everything that has happened since the 18th century and returning the world to its proper place - a place where they run things by divine right and everyone else sleeps in a pile of crap.

Greta's media attention proves that propaganda works,here we are commenting on her...Ipso Facto she is comment worthy????
She has the attention of the Education Machine that indoctrinates our youth, so yes it's comment worthy. It's a heads up to readers here about what propaganda they will be hearing from the yutes in their network. They will be prepared to counter it.
All the AGW/Climate Change shit isn't supposed to convince OK Boomers. It's there for those born 1964 and later. The DNC and their Globalist/Commie enablers and directors have all the statistics on when the Boomer cohort will no longer be a problem for them. They ALWAYS play the long game.
The propaganda is also directed to any GOP squishes who they can draw into their web.

It's not. These are the descendants of the people that hated and killed the kings. There are no aristocrats left and your impression of aristocrats is simply people who aren't aristocrats trying to act important (i.e. noveau riche.)
It's manifestly ridiculous that someone would even deign to call these people in any way their 'betters'; they merely happen to have access to certain powers at the moment, and are doing what people who have no class do with power; act like apes.

We've managed to keep the Germans under control, and our efforts in NY and MA have been successful but the US as a whole is fractious (ha ha) and it may be difficult to achieve total control even with a Democrat President.
China and India are less susceptible to our efforts at thwarting national energy development, and their growth is such that they will remain solid markets for us and our allies for many years.

They are the descendants of the king-killers, but they are of the same mental cloth as the kings their parents killed. They want nothing more than to be your betters, and to be your betters by inscrutable right because they have access to the real meaning of things.
They act like apes. So did the aristocracy of old, when we get right down to it. They were genteel and had protocols they followed and there were rigidly-enforced standards of decorum and practices, but this was to keep them from killing each other all the time and stop intra-caste bloodshed. The rules of decorum in the European aristocracies were entirely practical and maintained order within their group.
Their system was fancy but brutal. The relative position of their caste and the masses of rightless peasants over whom they ruled was only polite and classy from one side of the transaction, and only if you don't look at what they did those outside the caste.
If these people get their way, the first few intra-aristocratic wars will result in the same outcome. The source, the root of their behavior, is destroying the world of free men and reimposing a world where only their will matters, modulated by their relative positions within the ruling caste. Progressive they aren't. They want the system of old, with themselves as rulers.
They may be the children of king-slayers, but they lament it and want to be remade as the kings their parents destroyed.

The key is how do you define success? It used to be a hereditary title, which made you wealthy through controlling land.
Now, its stock, which controls companies.

I agree, Grammie. The weather here has been cooperating for a change, and I've been able to wear my vintage or vintage-style fedoras nearly every day to work.
The problem today is that there are no longer hat-check stations in restaurants and other places. The museum I went to this weekend had a hat-and-coat check station, but normally if I wear a hat into a restaurant, we have to sit in a booth so I can safely put my hat on the seat next to me, or on the next chair if we sit at a table.

It was chilly yesterday, and I wore my black wool/cashmere topcoat, dress shirt and trousers, a red muffler ("scarf" to some of you), and my cream-colored thin-ribbon fedora from the early Sixties (think Robert Ryan in Bad Day at Black Rock). The clerk at the pharmacy told me she liked my style.

Caillebotte is giving us a quick "impression" of modern life in one of the most modern cities on the planet. The lines are straight, the colors are clean, the lighting is bright. There is steel and concrete everywhere. Wide paved roads, skyscrapers, a train I think (the absolute symbol of advanced technology at the time), and construction continues on the right.
But there are also hints at some negative aspects too. There is an overwhelming tone of grey. Every person is alone. The two people at the focal point aren't actually together; she's a few steps behind the man. So the illusion of companionship is false. This may be part of a larger message that the modern world seems great but an examination of the details lead to a different conclusion.

That's pretty close. I'd quibble with the idea that a fedora's brim is slightly wider in front than in the back or sides, though. Most fedoras have 2-3" brims, true, usually 2.25 to 2.75, but the brims are usually the same all around. Some exceptions exist, such as the Indiana Jones models where the sides are shaved a little, but usually the brim is an even width all around.
Historically, men's hats were often sold open crown, just a tall dome (think Indian "reservation hat"!), and the seller or the buyer himself shaped the crown to his liking. I've done that with several of my hats, and it's always fun.

She may be in mourning. As late as the 1920s, there were very precise rules for mourning attire, particularly if the deceased was a spouse or parent. Black for six months to a full year, then dark gray for another six months. Gentlemen wore black bands on their hats or jacket sleeves. The 1929 edition of Emily Post's Etiquette spells it all out.

Here in Da Swamp, it's just too steamy hot for even panama hats from April to December. When the weather actually dries out a bit, or cools off, I slide several of my fedoras out of their boxes, dust 'em off, shape 'em, and wear 'em (One at a time, of course.)

A couple of years ago at a mall I spotted a black gentleman wearing a collared shirt, jeans, and a cream-colored Homburg . . . with a snakeskin-patterned band or ribbon on it. It startled me, but then I realized it looked pretty sharp.

That's the common idea. But statistically, hat-wearing had been declining since 1945. When GIs came home from the war, they doffed their helmets and caps, and were reluctantly to put anything else on their heads. They wore hats, yes, but they no longer felt underdressed if they went out without a hat.
Cars had gotten lower, too, with lower rooflines, and so climbing into your Chevy could knock your hat off. And it was hard to drive wearing a hat.

Good eyes, I had not noticed the train. And what you note was my first reaction as well - the design of the bridge might seem rather old fashioned to us today, but in 1876 this was the hot new wave of construction. 13 years later, this new skill would produce the Eiffel Tower.

My dad loved wearing hats and looked good in them. When I asked him why he stopped wearing fedoras and went to caps, he said it was because cars used to have plenty of headroom, but when it changed and men had to take off their hats and put them on the car seat next to them, caps were more popular.

I placed this comment on the American Thinker site, host of that article:
"I understand the reason for your concern, but I see the outcome very optimistically. This case went to the most liberal, most friendly Appeals Court, the 9th Circuit, in the entire nation, and even THEY couldn't find in favor. All that verbiage is just them saying how much they wished they could have done so - well of course, it's the 9th Circuit. But even they had to admit that it wouldn't work - it would have required the Courts to set themselves up as Emperors, with powers of command and control over every single person in this country. Of course that's what the left wants, but they're not going to get away with it.
You mention other cases coming - but this is Precedent for all of the others coming down the pike. (there are some other precedents as well in the last couple of years - the San Francisco case, for example) Bottom line - now we know that no matter how many future cases they file, their lawfare offensive has failed."

Good point. And I do leave my fedora of the day in the trunk if I'm not sure there'll be a place to put it in the restaurant or shop.
As well as fedoras, I have a couple of the Open Road style hats, the kind LBJ was known for (he was a Resistol man), but I wear mine with the front brim snapped down. In all my time in Da Swamp, I have *never* seen another man wearing that style. Western hats, and now and then a real fedora, but never an OR. Dunno why.

I have two gray fedoras, but they don't fit quite properly. Once, when I was in London, I bought a deerstalker, but you simply can't wear it without someone cracking wise about Sherlock Holmes.
Usually I wear either a tweed flat cap, a Brooks Brothers cap or my old Fred Thompson for President cap. Since I work at home, I don't really need to go out anymore. And I don't have any particular reason to dress up anymore.

Amazing, that items fashioned 60-70 years ago, and which sold for $5-10, are still serviceable today. I have a vintage Borsalino which is purported to be from 1938. It does not fit me firmly, so I don't wear it often, but it is a great style and is in fine shape.

I was trying to find detail on how those trusses were supposed to unload their stresses, ha ha, so to speak, know what I mean, also I suspect they are iron straps not steel, and we had to have that flopped onto the bar in front of me.

It's interesting that modern bridge designers have actually rediscovered the efficiency of the overlapping x-braces. The so-called Butterfly bridge in Austin is a modern example.
Can't probably do a proper explanation here, but they are an elegant solution that we just ignored for decades.

I think so. It's basically a fedora, except the pinches run along the sides, high up, and the brim (usually about 2.75") is worn snapped up. Almost always in the cream color.
It's been described thusly: "Cowboy hats are worn by the guys who work on the ranch. An Open Road is worn by the guy who *owns* the ranch."

A good tool to begin understanding an art work is to change something in your mind's-eye or eliminate something. How does it look different? What does the change do to the piece? You begin to understand why artists do the things they do.

Fifty or sixty years ago it would have been. A vintage 7 3/8 hat is hard to find; there are lots of 6 7/8 and 7 hats to be found, but not so much the larger sizes. Nowadays 7 3/8 or 7 1/2 is pretty average.

Have you read "Rape of the Masters" by Roger Kimball? From Amazon: "In "The Rape of the Masters: How Political Correctness Sabotages Art," Kimball, a noted art critic himself, shows how academic art history is increasingly held hostage to radical cultural politics--feminism, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, the whole armory of academic antihumanism." It's very good, and kinda funny.

Interesting. I wear mostly adjustable ball caps so my measurement was when I was a teen fitted for a cowboy hat . I have to look at my fitted ball caps to see what size they are.

I've done Italy. Florence is great but a quite town. However if you use Florence as a base camp and then go on day trips (make sure Venice is one of your day trips) I'd do 4 nights in Florence otherwise 4 in Rome.
My two cents.

Marty Robins. Brings back memories. I used to walk to my Great grandfathers house. After I cut the grass with the rotary blade mower, He'd give me a grape soda and he'd drink a Leinenkugel's and we'd sit on the porch, he loved Marty Robins. Everytime I hear El Paso I think of him. he was a great guy.

Almost immediately after Chief Justice John Roberts gaveled in Wednesday's session of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, bored and weary senators started openly flouting some basic guidelines in a chamber that prizes decorum.
A Democrat in the back row leaned on his right arm, covered his eyes and stayed that way for nearly a half-hour. Some openly snickered when lead prosecutor Adam Schiff said he'd only speak for 10 minutes. And when one of the freshman House prosecutors stood to speak, many of the senator-jurors bolted for the cloak rooms, where their phones are stored.

Instead, he took a personal swipe at the 17-year-old, saying she was in no position to give advice on climate change because she hasn't been to college yet.
At a press briefing at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss town of Davos, Mnuchin dismissed Thunberg's suggestion that governments and companies need to cut back dramatically on their use of fossil fuels.
When asked how that would affect the U.S. economic model, Mnuchin was swift and condescending in his response.
"Is she the chief economist? Who is she? I'm confused," he said. Then following a brief pause, he said it was "a joke."

I agree. The problem is, someone is going to take an art critics word as gospel long after the artist themselves are gone and there's no corroborating evidence other than the critics opinion. The artist can't defend, deny or agree.
Look up "Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln" In his 1926 biography of Lincoln, Carl Sandburg alluded to the early relationship of Lincoln and his friend Joshua Fry Speed as having "a streak of lavender, and spots soft as May violets".

Yep, he loved White Sport Coat. He had a record player on the front porch in the summer. Still called it a Victrola. He would sit out there for hours smoking cigars and drinking Leinenkugel beer listening to music. He lived to the ripe old age of 93. And he was spry as hell till his last day. It took us days to find all the money he had stashed around the house. (Banks and all!) I am convinced we missed some.

Most sci-fi isn't sci-fi, but techno fantasy.
Star Trek, as a whole (there are individual episodes that get close) is not science fiction. Transporters were created not because they were scientifically feasible, but because they needed a cheaper way to get the crew to the planet than building a shuttle. So they used a cheap optical effect.
Science has gone on to try and justify it, but it doesn't change the fact that in the early 60s, the idea of a transporter beam was pure fantasy with a techno twist.

Yeah. I've thought something like this for a while, not just about Schiff, the whole establishment. It's not that they're dirty; I expect that. It's not that they scratch each others' backs and hook up each others' kids and scheme against the people they supposedly represent; I expect all of that. What really gets under my skin is that they suck so badly at it-- they can't even be crooked without fucking it up.
This is who runs the machine-- these are the people on the governing body of the most powerful country on the planet, basically immune from prosecution and they still trip over their own shoelaces.
Now of course I should be thanking my lucky stars. If these people were geniuses they'd have turned this country into North Korea. I guess that sort of goes to explain why they are the way they are-- they're all walking, talking personifications of Dunning-Kruger and they think they're super smart and totes covert. They're dishonest and lazy and they think they're a lot smarter than they are, which is why they go crooked in the first place.
Or maybe I'm just thinking in circles and I need more coffee.

Star Trek, as a whole (there are individual episodes that get close) is not science fiction. Transporters were created not because they were scientifically feasible, but because they needed a cheaper way to get the crew to the planet than building a shuttle. So they used a cheap optical effect.
Science has gone on to try and justify it, but it doesn't change the fact that in the early 60s, the idea of a transporter beam was pure fantasy with a techno twist.

Matter transmitters had appeared in SF before -- on analogy with "sound, converted into electrical impulses and sent to a destination, where they are converted back into sound" (the telephone). Georges Langelaan's The Fly used the idea, albeit for a horror effect.
It's possible to say that a lot of the tropes used in SF are fantasy, as far as we know now. Faster-than-light travel, for instance.

You remind of a gripe I had about a next gen episode, yet another one where they never even try to examine the implications of their story line, and then they forget about it forever. It's the one where they discover a Duplicate Riker living on a planet, one that was created by a transporter malfunction years earlier.
Well, if you can create duplicates with the transporter, then on any hazardous mission why don't you just send down duplicates, and if they they get killed, send down more duplicates? Why wouldn't the entire crew on a starship just be duplicates of originals who could safely stay at home?
Well they resolved the issue by never talking about it again.

Depending on how they chose to portray the transporter, it might not. The way it looks, the transporter doesn't completely destroy the first part before starting to assemble the copy, and it doesn't just do it top to bottom or button to top either. You see the entire body sort of "phase" in or out at once. It might be the case that there's continuity of consciousness that for a time is divided in two discrete locations, in which case it doesn't seem like it'd be killing you and making a copy.
That being said, I don't think I'd be interested in taking that risk, since it would be impossible to know if there's actually a continuity of consciousness or just the illusion, because the person on the other end has the same menories of the transport event as you would have.

I read a book on the physics of star trek, it would probably be a million years before ever seeing something like that. The memory required to store the pattern of a human body, which is every atom in the human body, the X, Y, and Z positions, and the state of the electrons of each atom IF stored on floppy disks would make a stack 10,000 light years tall. You would also have to heat a human body to a million times the temperature of the core of the sun, and expend more energy in a single machine than all of humanity presently uses.
yeah, not going to do it any time soon.

Which reminds me of the end of Wolf in the Fold - after Mr Hengist has been sedated, Kirk throws him into the transporter and sets it on wide dispersal to bring an end to "Redjack."
HOWEVER - as we saw through the episode, "Redjack" possesses people in order to kill, and did it with Scotty, the Enterprise computer and Hengist. So in trying to destroy the entity, Kirk was really murdering poor Mr Hengist, who had been possessed and wasn't really himself responsible for the murders on Argelius.

My standard theory of Star Trek: It all goes back to ST6. Once word got out that Starfleet had conspired with the Klingons and Romulans to keep hostilities going, there was a public backlash. It would be as if the US military was conspiring with the Soviet Union to keep the Cold War going for their own benefit. The result was the election of a Bernie Sanders/Ralph Nader type administration in the Federation, who promptly spent the next 70 years trying to demilitarize Starfleet and purging all the old guard officers. Hence why in ST Generations, Kirk is shocked that the Enterprise B left Spacedock without torpedoes or shields: for officers of his generation it wouldn't have been considered that you would go out unarmed and unprepared. However, the new captain is younger, probably a political appointee, and the whole thing is supposed to be nothing more than a PR stunt. By the time of TNG, the Federation has expanded so much that SF can barely control its territory, and there are plenty of colonies which fall into chaos and violence, and are subsequently cut off rather than trying to fix them. Meanwhile, the Federation cannot even win a border war with the Cardassians, instead settling for a low-level conflict that drags on.

Not really. IIRC the Federation has a ban on cloning, and there are
morality issues with the idea of either a) sending down sentient
duplicates on suicide missions, or b) constantly creating copies of the
same person who won't have access to that person's life once the mission
is over.
a) the ban on cloning was clearly promulgated by the unions. if you were allowed to clone people at will, there would only be one laborer; he would be instantiated as necessary to handle the task at hand, then disposed of when the task was complete (think mr. meesix from rick and morty or "can o'man" from the tick).
b) mission success could be ensured by waiting to dispose of the original until the mission was complete. until success, copies can be sent as required. after success, the original is disposed of so that the successful copy retains the memories needed for the after-action report.

That said, it's inspired a lot of interesting research into things like quantum teleportation, which although useless for transporting matter for the foreseeable future, may have practical applications in long-distance communication.

I don't care what anyone says, this is canon in my head now. This would explain so much of TNG.
The Feds can't even win a war against the wildly technologically inferior Cardassians who could not even maintain dominance over a backwater world like Bajor? How?!
This explanation is now canon in my head, and I thank you for your work in improving the lore of Trek.

It makes very few assumptions, and the conclusions are plausible. The public reaction to the conspiracy in ST6 would have been enormous, and even if the sitting President won a sympathy vote for his near-assassination, the pacifists would probably sweep the next election with enough force to set the agenda no matter who was in the big chair.
The demilitarization of Starfleet might even have survived contact with the Borg, who'd be seen as a one-off aberration, after which to return to business as usual, but the Dominion War following so quickly after would swing the pendulum the other way.

Looking to where the real crimes happened, Michael Flynn's lawyers are arguing for probation. Pause, to contemplate the outrageous treatment of an innocent man while vile treasonous traitors like Andrew McCabe are on television, pontificating instead of dangling from the hangman's noose. Also, a developing story that alleges MBS of the KSA was behind the hacking Jeff Bezos to supposedly verify the Steele Dossier. As I stated, we need to kick them to the curb the minute the Iranian regime crumbles and becomes stable and non-anti-American.

SHAM-PEACHMENT FOLLIES
Again, Schiff-for-Brains droned on endlessly about the same old tired, debunked myths from the Mueller fraud and cover-up and, once again, he actually played and made a huge deal out of the sound-bite of Trump allegedly asking the Russians to find Hillary's missing e-mails. Um, that was a joke. I mean, he is conspiring with a foreign government to commit a crime... in the open, in front of thousands of people with cameras rolling?! Sheesh. Elsewhere, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch and several other pundits shred the pencil-neck's arguments and expose his lies, Josh Hawley on Roberts smacking the Dems down for their hideous theatrics in the Senate, the debate over whether or not witnesses will be allowed continues. Allegedly a "quid pro quo" (heh) of Bolton for Bribem is in the works but Gropin' Joe is digging in his heels on that. Personally, I'd rather no witnesses be called because none are warranted. But I don't see a downside especially since the Cipollone, Sekulow and team will destroy Bribem and expose the real crimes he committed which are the ones Trump is accused of. I also want them to call Schiff-for-Brains himself since he is a material witness as well as a co-conspirator vis a vis manufacturing the testimony of Eric Ciaramella. Message to McAssKill: get some towels for the underarm sweat stains, toots. Also, Rand Paul says the more Schiff talks the more he unifies the Senate GOP, and Alan Dershowitz edjumacates Palsi-Von Poligrip on what label history really has in store for the President after all of this.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

I don't think they'll do it again.
There are those in the House who will demand it, but I don't think the Democratic caucus as a whole will be willing to do impeachment again.
Then again, the Democratic leadership did force every one of their reps (minus the one rebel) to vote for the first one. So it really depends on what leadership wants.

The downsides are that by not rejecting this garbage outright, Cocaine Mitch and the RINOs have set a horrible precedent: they've given the made-up and laughable "crimes" and "impeachable offenses" named in the two impeachment articles legitimacy -- setting a horrible precedent that will allow any future House of one party to impeach a President of the other party simply for being of the other party.
As Dennis Prager repeatedly says: "The Left ruins everything it touches."

Attorney Generals from 21 States are urging the Senate to reject Impeachment. They say the Articles have legal & factual problems, and the Democrats case sets a dangerous historical precedent."EVEN AN UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT UNDERMINES THE INTEGRITY...
OF THE 2020 ELECTION BECSUSE IT WEAPONIZES A PROCESS THAT SHOULD ONLY BE INITIATED IN EXCEEDINGLY RARE CIRCUMSTANCES, AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED FOR PARTISAN PURPOSES." @HeatherChilders @FoxNews The Democrats are trying hard to damage Republicans prior to the Election!
@realDonaldTrump 12 minutes ago
The Democrat House would not give us lawyers, or not one witness, but now demand that the Republican Senate produce the witnesses that the House never sought, or even asked for? They had their chance, but pretended to rush. Most unfair & corrupt hearing in Congressional history!
No matter what you give to the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, it will never be enough!
The Democrats & Shifty Schiff, whose presentation to the Senate was loaded with lies and misrepresentations, are refusing to state that the Obama Administration withheld aid from many countries including Ukraine, Pakistan, Philippines, Egypt, Honduras, & Mexico. Witch Hunt!

That means they will be working full time against PDJT, no matter who the Democrat nominee is. Bloomberg's own role as nominal "candidate" will be as minimal as required to satisfy the rules, I'm betting, while he spends close to a billion dollars to support the Democrat and against Trump.

I think Rand Paul is making a good estimation of how this is going. Schiff and Nadler were supposed to be making a solid, reasonable case that would convince the public, and make it easy for the squishy Republican Senators in the center to get on his side. Instead, they've putting out screeching, far left bombast designed to only appeal to their base - and consequently, they've making it very easy for Collians, Murkowski, and even Romney to go along with McConnell and just dump this schitt-show as quicly as possible.

The Prager corollary is "The GOP Establishment screws up almost every important task it deigns to accept!"
From now on, every Republican (or disfavored conservative leaning) President (that has a Progressive House and/or Senate) will face special prosecutor analysis, and a plethora of impeachment attempts because this Senate blinked. They (Mitch's Senate) should have done a scholarly legal/Constitutional analysis of the actual submitted Articles, published the results, and rejected them outright.
The behavior of both the House and Senate in this debacle will haunt the remains of the almost Constitutional Republic that they were entrusted with.

Either way, how does running ads demanding a $25 minimum wage help the Dems overall? Everyone knows that any Dem would want that anyways, and outside of the West Coast and NYC, everyone knows that such a move would completely destroy the nation's economy.

I believed you the first time. It seemed reasonable given the way the Democrats compete on giveaways. And the primary beneficiaries of a minimum wage increase are state gov't workers, at least in NJ, where wages are often figured from the base of the statutory minimum wage.

That's been my belief for a very long time. The US spends an incredible amount of money in international aid, often with extremely loose or in some cases virtually no oversight. Billions and billions of dollars all over the world through multiple agencies.
It is a system that is ripe for corruption and has been abused for years.
Whenever you hear a politician talk about spreading democracy or building civil society read that as sending an assload of US tax dollars to some 3rd world shithole where much if not most of it disappears and rare if every reaches the people we are told it is designed to help.
This is exactly what Ukraine was all about and it was largely run by George Soros. You want to know why Democrats are freaking out so much right now and running this obviously fake impeachment? Because Trump is right over the target.

After Evan Thomas and Newsweek released their "bombshell" story about Gitmo guards flushing the Koran (which incited 11 deaths directly attributed to the charge including an Italian nun) and it was proved false, he said, "the fact it didn't happen doesn't matter; we know they wanted to. It's the narrative that matters." Playbook never changes.

Mini Mike Bloomberg is playing poker with his foolhardy and unsuspecting Democrat rivals. He says that if he loses (he really means when!) in the primaries, he will spend money helping whoever the Democrat nominee is. By doing this, he figures, they won't hit him as hard....
....during his hopeless "presidential" campaign. They will remain silent! The fact is, when Mini losses, he will be spending very little of his money on these "clowns" because he will consider himself to be the biggest clown of them all - and he will be right!

The prosector was really the corrupt one and even the Ukrainians wanted him gone (Here is a context-free Ukrainian on the street protest interview as proof)

Trump is really good at stirring up trouble within the Democrat party.
First, hammering away at Bernie supporters about how the DNC will shaft him (and he's been doing this since 2016 - reminding them how Bernie was shafted back then). Now, he's reminding them their party is allowing to billionaire vanity candidates to be prominent nominees (at the expensse of others). There were people angry with Steyer for choosing to spend his money on running rather than saving The American Prospect (a publication he had financially supported in the past).
Trump fights, and he is excellent at finding just the right weak spots to punch repeatedly.

the other thing is - ok so story about San Antonio blocking an airport Chick-Fil-A. which is annoying but a commenter on Insta had an interesting idea - what if this lawfare using taxpayer dollars is ANOTHER way of laundering our money and giving it, essentially, to leftists? Most lawyers are leftists, city pols are either lawyers or will return to law firms locally after they "retire" or their wives/friends/relatives are local law firm employees... it's a smaller scale but a similar grift.

She is like a pet to them She is no different than the activists groups in the US who play sue-and-settle with like-minded federal bureaucrats.
-- Step 1: Billionaires want to implement "green" policies that allow them to reduce all but them to serf-like lives (live in pod in the city, public transportation, eat bugs, etc.).
-- Step 2: Get daughter of activist actors to attend perform her climate change hysteric rage at Davos, EU, UN and "scold them" into implementing green policies.
-- Step 3: Pretend to be convinced by this stunning and brave child that we all must - it is imperative to little Greta's future!- that we implement the green policies they all wanted in step 1.
The key is to make it look like you were forced to do it.

Counterpoint: the Virginia Senate is proceeding full speed on every gun bill there is. Except for the total ban which had some hinkiness in committee and got dropped but I expect it's coming back.
And not just guns the whole Leftist agenda is being enacted here. Stuff California would blanch at.
Like making mere criticism of Virginia politicians actionable.
I went Monday because the situation required a stupid and futile gesture on somebody's part.
I said before last time I participated in a political protest was on the Capitol lawn before the Obamacare vote. We have Obamacare, the Tea Party not so much.
I think that the rally was not the awakening of a people but the last struggles. Yes it is pessimistic but these people on the Left mean it. They have been keeping score and they are coming for us. That isn't hyperbole or conspiracy theory or whatever. The masks are off and the wine moms are okay with it.

I think there's a curve you could apply to campaign spending and the size of a voter base.
Really small, say family unit, and money spent probably doesn't do that much (minus bribes).
As the races get bigger, the voter base larger, the distance between voter and candidate grows, money makes more of a difference.
I would estimate the top of that to be somewhere between a typical federal House race and a typical federal Senate Race (maybe something like a typical governor's race). It's at that point that increased spending doesn't do that much and you get diminishing returns.
Then you get to the presidential election, and it's covered by every newspaper and every news channel and on every bit of the internet, and ad buys suddenly don't mean very much.
That's just about ad buys, though. And since that seems to be where most of the campaigns spend their cash, it seems like a decent corollary to general spending.

Which reminds me, as a follow-up to the story about the poor Iranian colleges student who was prevented from returning to Boston by ICE 'with no explanation' -- found this: https://preview.tinyurl.com/t9oar47
Shahab Dehghani is the son of Kamal Dehghani Firouzabadi, a member of Iran's Majlis (parliament) who has very close ties to senior Iranian regime officials, including@JZarif, Majlis speaker Ali Larijani and even Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
Such individuals in Iran are termed as "aghazadeh," meaning the children of senior officials who enjoy special privileges. They live luxurious lives abroad with vast riches stolen from the Iranian people. . .
Much more at the link, including how this "student" has been agtating for Iran within the US and that Lizzie Warren has gotten involved in trying to get this Iranian agent "student" back into the US.
I am glad ICE prevented his return. It indicates that they are actively rooting out and stopping hostile foreign agents who are working within our country to destroy us.

Legislators in Olympia have introduced some alarming “Trojan Horse” bills to raise our taxes that you’re not going to hear about this anywhere else. As the name implies, a Trojan horse bill seeks to hide a piece of potentially controversial legislation under the guise of legislation that sounds more agreeable to all involved. Bills like the ones I’m about to tell you about are just another example of why our tax tabs are so high. My thanks to listener Mark in Port Orchard for this awesome tip.
Senate Bill 5130 purports to be about raising revenue to remove state fish barriers. The bill writers maintain that this would help save the salmon, which in turn helps save the orcas. It sounds good, right? But then you go down a ways in this bill and learn that they want to raise the money by charging an excise tax on every real estate sale — thousands of dollars when you sell your home. Alright, but it’s for the good of the salmon, isn’t it? Read down a little further. I know it’s a little wonky, but no one else covers this, and you need to know what is truly going on in Olympia this Legislative session. What is the Legislature going to do with all the money raised from the real estate excise tax? It will go toward helping the salmon, right? Wrong. Here is how it will be spent: 2 percent to a public works assistance account
4.1 percent to an education legacy trust account
1.6 percent to a city-county assistance account
16.7 percent to the motor vehicle fund
75.4 percent to the general fund — where it can be spent on whatever the Legislature wants I did not see anything in there about funding the removal of salmon barriers; that’s only in the title of the bill. If the legislators — and the constituents — don’t bother to read the contents of the bill, they will be none the wiser. And the truth is, the majority of that money is just going to the general fund to be blown.

COTTAGE GROVE, Minn. (AP) — A struggling Minnesota church is asking its older parishioners to leave in hopes of making it more attractive to young families. Grove United Methodist Church in the St. Paul suburb of Cottage Grove is closing in June, with plans to relaunch in November. The present members, most of them over 60 years old, will be invited to worship elsewhere, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. The church is asking that they stay away for two years, then consult the pastor about reapplying. “I pray for this church, getting through this age-discrimination thing,” William Gackstetter said at church on a recent Sunday as the gray-haired heads around him nodded in agreement. But church officials said the congregation needs a reset and the best way is to appeal to younger people. The Grove United Methodist Church is the product of a 2008 merger with a larger church in Woodbury
A Denver Post columnist says he was fired after disputing the idea that there are more than two sexes. Jon Caldara, president of the libertarian Independence Institute, announced that he has been fired from the Post, chalking it up to "a difference in style" that his editors found "too insensitive." "My column is not a soft voiced, sticky sweet NPR-styled piece which employs the language now mandated by the victim-centric, identity politics driven media," he said in a Facebook post. "What seemed to be the last straw for my column was my insistence that there are only two sexes and my frustration that to be inclusive of the transgendered (even that word isn’t allowed) we must lose our right to free speech."

In the wake of the Virginia gun rights rally on Monday, Democrats in the Capitol are not slowing down their push for tyranny. They are moving a bill through the legislature that would effectively criminalize dissent against Governor Blackface Northam and other state government officials.

The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.”

Everything you wanted to know about brewing a better cup of espresso but were afraid to ask.
Skilled baristas know that achieving the perfect complex flavor profile for a delectable shot of espresso is as much art as science. Get it wrong, and the resulting espresso can taste too bitter or sourly acidic rather than being a perfect mix of each. Now, as outlined in a new paper in the journal Matter, an international team of scientists has devised a mathematical model for brewing the perfect cup, over and over, while minimizing waste. "A good espresso beverage can be made in a multitude of ways," said co-author Christopher Hendon, a computational chemist at the University of Oregon. "The point of this paper was to give people a map for making an espresso beverage that they like and then be able to make it 100 times in a row."

T-cell therapies for cancer—where immune cells are removed, modified and returned to the patient’s blood to seek and destroy cancer cells—are the latest paradigm in cancer treatments. The most widely-used therapy, known as CAR-T, is personalized to each patient, but it only targets a few types of cancers and has not been successful for solid tumors, which make up the vast majority of cancers.
I'm sick and tired of politicians. I'm sick and tired of "Impeachment". I'm sick and tired of our forces being stuck in the Middle East. I'm sick and tired of most of the current events. I found this today and for just a brief moment my faith in mankind was restored. Until some scold laments about it.
A neat way to finish The ONT tonight.

Yeah, but only because the guaranteed vote to dismiss DID NOT pass. Otherwise, it wouldn't even have been a trial.
The House manglers keep demanding the Senate cannot choose the option that the Clinton proceedings left to them.
And on top of that, Schiff called the idea of giving into Trump's terms on the House proceedings "Trump running the impeachment". How is it much different Nancy Pelosi demanding terms, and the House demanding that the Senate's duty is to run the Senate proceedings the way the House manglers want.
The President has a *power* of veto--not a *charge* to veto. The House has the *power* to impeach--not the *duty* to impeach. The Senate was given the SOLE. POWER. TO. TRY. along with other *powers* it does not make it a *duty* to exercise that.
All this disingenuity drives me up a wall.

There are already laws on the books about threats and harassment. It has never been Constitutional free speech to do that. What does this bill bring to the table that isn't already Virginia and Federal law?

This is a great subject to argue. I think people realized that in order to try to overcome the ferocious firepower of the weapons, they needed mobility rather than trying to get bogged down in either attacking a fortified line, or having to fall back and wait for the enemy to attack your fortified line.
Which is why I think cavalry still had such a large role (or tried to make it play) in military thinking.
Technology had advanced to a point where infantry were very, very screwed, but had not advanced to a point where they were unscrewed (tanks and mechanized personnel carriers.)

I know. But the key is to simultaneously shame the Senate in its exercise of the sole power to (decide to) try, for "impugning" the House's process, which as a judge clarified is whatever the House wanted it to be.

There is no way to argue that the weaponry outpaced the tactics as that is s consistent theme in warfare. Someone comes up with a new weapon, and only later does the opponent have to come up with a way to defend against it.
But what bothers me is most people today look at those who "dressed in the same colored suites, in a line, and fired by volley, as somehow quaint and at worst idiots. The history is much more complicated. Just as an example, these people could not use modern fire and maneuver because they did not have radio technology. They needed the troops to be in live so they could control them. And the fire these people put down was from hell, they knew what they were doing.
The Civil War lasted over four bloody years. If the casualties were lower, would that mean it would have lasted longer? I also came at this with the idea these guys were clueless. But I cam to my own conclusion that it was was much nuanced really. What it really comes down to is whether you think people from the 21st century know better than people from the 19th century did on how to conduct a war.
Again, I am not taking shots. I used to believe they were clueless not that long ago. But something about that bothered me. These guys served in the Mexican War. These guys went to West Point. For sure the technology advanced ahead of the tactics, but they did adjust their tactics.
If you look at the Civil War lines in 1865, they look a lot like the trenches of WW1.,
The real thing that changed warfare was the radio. When you could communication from places you could not see, it changed artillery and everything. Fire and maneuver really only came about when an individual could lay down massive fire on his own.
Again, i don't have all the answers, I am just giving you what I have learned. This is an amazing subject and well worth discussion. No doubt the Civil War would be about the worst war possible to be involved in as an American.

Black Betty was a song from old negro hymns, and first recorded by "Lead Belly" Ledbetter in 1939, but earlier versions are noted to exist.
The words to Black Betty are rather, um, suggestive to describing a certain type of woman.
By far and away, the Tom Jones version recorded in 2002 confirms this.
And to think that in June, Tom Jones, excuse me, Sir Tom Jones, will turn 80.

The infantry used to deride the cavalry as Chicken thieves. No doubt the infantry won battles in the end. But Cavalry had their place for sure. The artillery did their thing as well. In the end, to hold a place, you needed infantry.
The cavalry on both sides did major damage, that can not be challenged. And Hunt's artillery alone at Gettsyburg did as much to win a battle as any other arm.

right, as was done at Gettysburg, cavalry put you in a position of advantage. People argue on an on about frontal assaults but no Civil War leader ever wanted to lead a frontal assault. A frontal assault meant your maneuver did not work. But on both sides they led them. And the funny thing is, Gettysburg aside, many of them worked.

This is a great subject to argue. I think people realized that in order to try to overcome the ferocious firepower of the weapons, they needed mobility rather than trying to get bogged down in either attacking a fortified line, or having to fall back and wait for the enemy to attack your fortified line.
Which is why I think cavalry still had such a large role (or tried to make it play) in military thinking.
Technology had advanced to a point where infantry were very, very screwed, but had not advanced to a point where they were unscrewed (tanks and mechanized personnel carriers.)

>>>>>
IIRC, in 1864, Union officer Emory Upton got permission to attack a rebel trench at Spotsylvania with a dense column rather than the typical line abreast formation. The initial column formation breached the rebel defense line, but the follow-up troops got lost or misunderstood orders and didn't follow. The rebels were then able to contain the breach and eventually forced the bluecoats to retreat. The Army of the Potomac command never really understood the whole thing, and I don't believe the column attack was used again, except maybe in the Battle of the Crater, Petersburg.
As in WW1, the higher commanders in most Civil War corps and armies were not highly imaginative or receptive to tactical innovations.

communication from places you could not see, it changed artillery and
everything. Fire and maneuver really only came about when an individual
could lay down massive fire on his own."
I agree. If you look at WWI, the key element is the fact that the powers-that-be had the power to put millions of men into motion, but not the power to maneuver or stop them: once the machine was turned on, it had to run until it succeeded or broke down.
The Somme is a classic example: hundreds of thousands of men set into motion, all moving to a plan that could not be adjusted. The only communication they had were runners or telephones - and the latter were almost always knocked out by shell fire. So, the timetable could not be adjusted for the fact that heavy rains had made no-man's-land a quagmire. Now, I will blame the generals for their blunder with wire: they assumed that HE would blow the wire apart, but instead it simply tumbled the wire into an impenetrable mass. They should have tested HE on wire to see what happens, rather than just guessing. That careless blunder cost a lot of brave men their lives.

Nor did the Europeans ( who had many military observers) understand that The American Civil War was the first modern, industrial war with some technology.
Everything that happened on the Western Front 1914-1917 was clearly visible in 1864.
Posted by: Miklos, actual SCV at January 22, 2020 10:35 PM (QzkSJ)
The un-learned major lesson from the Civil War was that it's extremely difficult for approximately equal-sized infantry units, in contact, to get around one another's flanks in time to gain a significant tactical advantage. Good cavalry screens on the flanks made it about impossible. (Apologies to Lee and Stonewall Jackson!)
Hence Grant's long and essentially failed attempt to turn Lee's flank in 1864, the German failure to flank the Allies near Paris in August 1914 (many factors involved, though), and the following "Race to the Channel" flanking attempts by both sides.

giving you what I have learned. This is an amazing subject and well
worth discussion. No doubt the Civil War would be about the worst war
possible to be involved in as an American.
Posted by: Quint at January 22, 2020 10:23 PM (n13/j)
THIS is almost as interesting a discussion as tactics vs equipment.
Both suck pretty hard, but I think I would rather be in the Civil
War than WWI. You have the same thing as the civil war, but staying on
the same ground (at least on the Western front.) Add Mr Maxim's
invention. Add miserable trenches. Less mobility. Gas. Slightly better
medical care.
Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at January 22, 2020 10:41 PM (2B9A/)
pretty damn awful. And if I seem to defensive of Civil War leaders and soldiers, it is simply because i have so much respect for them. There is also something about our moden day hubris. So often we just assume we are better. I am not saying that about anyone here.
But what really kills me is that we think they did not know their own weapons. That would like someone in the future saying we didn't know the net was out to get us. lol.
But seriously. This is an important subject. But these men on both sides took the charge seriously. Sure many fell and it often looked like slaughter.
But two Civil War facts. The average soldier shot down was killed at 50 yards. That is is about the same as the American Revolution. Why is that? WE can get into it. or just read Hess.
Very few people were ever killed by the bayonet in the Civil War. way more met their end that way int the American Revolution. Soldiers talked endlessly about "giving them the cold steel", but they didn't do it.

The civil war presaged WW1 in many ways - one of them was that Artillery had become far more devastating throughout the 19th century, and was responsible for a huge number of casualties. Picket's charge at Gettysburg was cut down by the Federal cannon repeatedly firing loads of cannister into the lines like giant shotguns, taking out 20 - 30 men with each blast.

WW1 was in a class by itself as far as people getting ground up in combat.
But more to the point, the Spanish Flu wasn't a war disease. It was an airbourne virus. It could just as well have sprung onto the scene in 1896 when nobody in particular was fighting, except Boers.

That came at the end, and it was actually a largely US Army transmitted flu. It was called "Spanish " flu, because Spanish newspapers first wrote about it. W. Wilson (D) had censored US newpapers.
A young Army Captain was put in charge of handling the matter, quietly, and although he had no medical training, did an excellent job of understanding the transmission vectors, and shutting them down.
That young Eisenhower fellow turned to be pretty good at organization, logistics and whatnot.

There is strong evidence that the prior Vice President of the United States was being bribed by a foreign entity, via his son. (Bribing a powerful official by directing payments to a family member is the oldest trick in the book.)
It is, however, apparently an impeachable offense for the current President of the United Starts to investigate the former Vice President's bribe-taking.

that is a complicated subject and for sure I don't have all the answers, or even half if them. Most soldiers on the line were still using muzzle loaders even if they were percussion cap. Looking back on it, the troops, regarldess of orders, stood firm and shot it out.
There was something about plunging a bayonet, which they all had, into a fellow American. They didn't do it, that that is proven.
Since i brought up the 50 yard kill zone thing I will go a bit further with it though this is not my research, It is only what I have read mainly by Hess. The Rifle -Musket of that day was very accurate with the famed Minnie Ball. But the weapons lobbed the round like a parobala. It would make the old m16 sited toward 300 yards blush. It lobbed a huge chunk of lead at a slow speed. And that meant it had to travel like a quarterbacks's bomb throw.
Most of these troops got little live fire training as the Army's were created from whole cloth. i believe it went from 5,000 one year, to one million, to 15,000 on the Union side alone. These men engaged at the standard range where they would hit what they aimed at. In many ways, that reduced the importance of the rifle musket and Minnie's design. Not saying it didn't matter. But what actually happened often differs from what we are told happened.

Second, Ambassador Sondland sent a false e-mail that PDT wanted no quid pro quo. Where's the proof, especially when Sondland told Republican Congressman Mike Turner of Ohio that he effectively assumed there was a quid pro quo, but no official actually told him so. This reminds of the famous courtroom scene from the TV sitcom The Odd Couple, when To y Randall says that when you Assume, you make an Ass out of You and Me.
Finally, that after the military aid was released, the White House sought to create false after the fact justifications for it. Zoe Lofgren claimed that the WH has withheld e-mails that prove that the aid was released because they "got caught." I will be interested to see what Cippolone and Sekulow's response to this will be.

There have been more than a few arguments about whether the USA , AKA North, AKA union should have issued repeaters to the main line troops. It might have made a difference but I as a luddite, doubt it.
At Antietam they had 23,000 casualties. They say they had more than any battle in a day but I don't have those numbers. I wold like a repeater, and they made a difference in particular engagements of that war. But in no way did these weapons make a difference. As the well known historian G, Galagher has said. In on battlelield did a gatttling gun make any difference.

A narrative is no basis for conviction.
It's been narrative, narrative, narrative. And they *seldom* if ever use words directly from the transcript.
That's actual fact, not paraphrases with the worst connotations possible.
This is why thinking whether Trump did something "wrong" is a non-starter for me.
These people have no argument. And everything in the Schiffshow to Nadler to the House manglers has shown different.

Also, AMTRAK, MBNA, who knows who else. Having watched other political dynasties evolve, Joe was hoping to get Hunter on the same track, even trying the Military Service ploy. But, Hunter, being a worthless, sel-indulgent, spoiled little fuck, just couldn't be bothered to be a worthwhile human being. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I expect Joe was especially glad that Hunter got hooked in with Kerry's son, but Hunter is just a wormy little perverted toad, who apparently couldn't even just maintain decent behavior.

Posted by: Zettai Roshia-no Asetto at January 22, 2020 11:31 PM (QHxmP)
No. Not from what we've seen. The transcript is the best evidence, aside from timeline of events and Ukrainian official statements. All of it points to no quid pro quo and acquittal.
Dems are running on innuendo, hearsay from partisan actors (and in some case with criminal exposure), and so-called "expert" opinions that impeachment is proper for abuse of power.
They have nothing on motive or intent other than mind-reading and insinuations.
And as pointed out, a legit function of POTUS cannot be an impeachable offense, just because you want to insinuate an improper motive. Especially when there is a mountain of proper motive, contemporaneously stated, to justify the POTUS actions.

Grant wasn't really trying to turn Lee's flank. That was just a tactical approach to the real strategic objective, which was to maneuver Lee back and pin him against Richmond (the one place he could not abandon). That left Sherman free to finish the war on the western front.
Grant was a brilliant strategist. Tactically, his vision was impeded by a host of mediocre or incompetent subordinates, but he still managed to get the job done.
Sherman, on the other hand, was a great grand tactician, which is how he was able to carry out Grant's plan in the West so effectively.

According to that DM article, Ghislaine, like Hillary was using a private email server. Her email address got (accidentally) released in some court document dump, revealing the domain name. That server was immediately breached.
One of the benefits of rolling your own email server (and anyone with a Linux install can run their own email servers, and even Windows. I remember playing with some free-ware or shareware email server program for Windows years ago) is that it makes it a little harder for the cops to get at it.
They are generally a much greater hacking risk, though, if you're not on top of the latest security stuff.

Grant was extremely underrated. Yes he kept trying to flank Lee's right and he kept getting challenged. What Lee did there and many other places was amazing. Probably the greatest thing Lee ever did was get his army back from Gettysburg intact. That is not known to many but is still studied in armiy colleges around the world.
Grant was not a butcher as his own people called him. He only became a butcher when he went against Lee. He tried to maneuver but it usually did not work. What he did was stick it out, what he did was do what he had to do to win. Grant has been lost to history.Most people could barely tell you what war he fough in.much less why he matters.

Horses are a big target and can't low-crawl.
Q: What do you call cavalry that has engaged with machine guns?
A: Infantry
Even more important was that the European armies were focused on movement and open field action. When they (and the Civil war AND the Sino-Russian war) bogged down into trench warfare they just sat and killed each other for no real gain.
Small highly mobile groups could be used to really tip things, and that was what cavalry was best at during the Civil war. Some groups, like Cpt Mosby's troopers were geniuses at it. They could hit and disperse and join again to hit again before anything could be brought to bear on them.
One of the other reasons lines and volley fire were important was that the rate of fire for each individual weapon was very low, and the hit rate at normal engagement ranges was low. You needed volley fire to guarantee sufficient hits to make a difference.
With the Minee ball the firepower was increased and with the magazine rifles it became even higher, as was the accuracy.
With quick firing guns it was easier to hit mobile units like cavalry. With machine guns it was a Bad Idea for big horses to go to the front, but they were used in other theaters where the lines hadn't set like in France.

I'm working on a paper to submit to the Methodist Church. I may even nail it to the front door. Central to the theme is the fact (nod to Andrew Breitbart) that the Church should not be downstream of culture, but rather the other way around.
The clergy are almost entirely to blame for the degenerate direction that the church has taken. I have every intention of holding their feet to the fire. So far, all of the debates are rooted in ecclesiastical/Biblical argument. I intend to move it into the sociological realm.

Joined a Christian and Missionary Church (a denomination from Baptist roots, but focused on missionary work to the far-east, mostly China), which was near to me.
Parted from them when I joined the USAF in '76. Found a new church home in San Antonio in late '78, more of a Charismatic formula, but still tracing roots back to a Baptist lineage.
Here's the thing.
I never bought into the Dispensationalism of any of their theology. Bible either said what it said, or it didn't.
And that's how I still see it, today.
Theological nuances and difficulties?
I can worry those out over prayer and study.
I've not $0.02 to give as to what Rev. Dr. So & So from Eclesibabpistical Semitary says about it.

I really don't understand why churches think it's okay to change doctrine in response to the times. As a church you're telling people "These are the unchanging facts of life. What we're telling you is literally the Word of God."
If your doctrine changes, it's perfectly reasonable for people to ask if any of it is divinely inspired.
I mean, sure, change the music. You can even change the traditions (though I hate that), or the wording of prayers in your service. But if you told my grandfather sodomy is a quick trip to hell, and now you're saying it's not a sin at all... what am I to think?

Of course Welshmen don't yield, it's the sheep which yield.

I heard that from another performer. I think audiences would like it just as much as the performers.

Read his novels. KNOW his Biography.
He was a Moron, before his time.
Here's the thing. I've lived one HELL of an un-believable life. And I'm not a pimple on the ass of the life L'Amour lived.
Humbly? Buncha you Morons here, too, MASSIVELY out-class me in the un-believable life category.
And I'm GRATEFUL for that.
It lets me know I'm not an aberration, a fluke, an one-off or a freak.
I'm among kindred, here. It's not a competition.
It's family.

Lyrics from the movie and traditional lyrics are different.

That's correct. They wrote a set of lyrics especially for the movie.

I have the short-lived album 'Sit Down Young Stranger', before it was re-titled 'If You Could Read My Mind'

Tough to say, whether he's more Poet or Musician.
I think with him though, they're both eternally intertwined.
With Lightfoot, the whole is indeed, greater than he sum of the parts.

Ask me how I know.
And I haven't been back to ANY Methodist church since they pushed my congregation out of our long time home.
Funny thing is, they still can't figure out why their attendance numbers keep declining.

If I ever make it to the TX Mome, I'm bringing song sheets for The Whiffenpoof Song. I figure that after a few drinks, the Morons could tune up and serenade the 'ettes.

No music, but a massive lightning storm to serenade me to my slumber.
The thunder is my lullaby.
Pounding rain on the roof above, whispers me to my sleep.
Hasta la nite nite, Horde!
