On a personal note....
.....my friend, Diane Feinstein, is talking to me on telephone. She’s not a particularly political person but she will pay attention from time to time, to impress me I suspect. And, by the way, she is NOT the real Diane Feinstein. She just looks like her.
So my friend says, out of the blue...”Who’s that female politician you talk about? From California? Diane Feinstein?”
So I smile...heh. My friend has no idea I call her Diane Feinstein.
Anyway, friend tells me that California politico Diane Feinstein has been abandoned by her fellow Democrats.
MY Diane Feinstein thought this was a hoot. I was impressed at her increasing political/news knowledge.
Yesterday, since I desperately need to get a life, I did a short binge-watch of Criminal Minds.
Man, you could go insane watching that stuff.
As an aside, the guy who plays the part of Hotchkins looks exactly like James Comey.
Both from the FBI I might add.
If we don’t have psychopaths horribly burning up their victims, they will sew their mouths shut or, my favorite...one psychopath takes live people and makes them into living marionettes.
He disjoints their knees, hands and elbows, dyes their hair, wraps them in strings with which to move them around.
I wonder if any of these stories are true.

21 Jul: Law & Crime: Here’s the 5 Important Details We Learned From Just Released Carter Page FISA Warrant
by Colin Kalmbacher

The Wall Street Journal continues to counter the liberal mainstream media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome, dropping uncomfortable truth-bombs and refusing to back off its intense pressure to get to the truth and hold those responsible, accountable (in a forum that is hard for the establishment to shrug off as ‘Alt-Right’ or ‘Nazi’ or be ‘punished’ by search- and social-media-giants).
And once again Kimberley Strassel - who by now has become the focus of social media attacks for her truth-seeking reporting - does it again this morning, as she points out - after his ‘treasonous’ outbursts, that Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan acknowledges that it was him egging on the FBI’s probe of Trump and Russia.
Great stuff from your link,priceless.
heres more:
But the man who deserves a belated bit of scrutiny is former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan. He’s accused President Trump of “venality, moral turpitude and political corruption,” and berated GOP investigations of the FBI. This week he claimed on Twitter that Mr. Trump’s press conference in Helsinki was “nothing short of treasonous.” This is rough stuff, even for an Obama partisan.
That’s what Mr. Brennan is—a partisan—and it is why his role in the 2016 scandal is in some ways more concerning than the FBI’s. Mr. Comey stands accused of flouting the rules, breaking the chain of command, abusing investigatory powers. Yet it seems far likelier that the FBI’s Trump investigation was a function of arrogance and overconfidence than some partisan plot. No such case can be made for Mr. Brennan. Before his nomination as CIA director, he served as a close Obama adviser. And the record shows he went on to use his position—as head of the most powerful spy agency in the world—to assist Hillary Clinton’s campaign (and keep his job).
Mr. Brennan has taken credit for launching the Trump investigation. At a House Intelligence Committee hearing in May 2017, he explained that he became “aware of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons.” The CIA can’t investigate U.S. citizens, but he made sure that “every information and bit of intelligence” was “shared with the bureau,” meaning the FBI. This information, he said, “served as the basis for the FBI investigation.” My sources suggest Mr. Brennan was overstating his initial role, but either way, by his own testimony, he was an Obama-Clinton partisan was pushing information to the FBI and pressuring it to act.
More notable, Mr. Brennan then took the lead on shaping the narrative that Russia was interfering in the election specifically to help Mr. Trump - which quickly evolved into the Trump-collusion narrative. Team Clinton was eager to make the claim, especially in light of the Democratic National Committee server hack. Numerous reports show Mr. Brennan aggressively pushing the same line internally. Their problem was that as of July 2016 even then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper didn’t buy it. He publicly refused to say who was responsible for the hack, or ascribe motivation. Mr. Brennan also couldn’t get the FBI to sign on to the view; the bureau continued to believe Russian cyberattacks were aimed at disrupting the U.S. political system generally, not aiding Mr. Trump.
The CIA director couldn’t himself go public with his Clinton spin—he lacked the support of the intelligence community and had to be careful not to be seen interfering in U.S. politics. So what to do? He called Harry Reid. In a late August briefing, he told the Senate minority leader that Russia was trying to help Mr. Trump win the election, and that Trump advisers might be colluding with Russia. (Two years later, no public evidence has emerged to support such a claim.)
But the truth was irrelevant. On cue, within a few days of the briefing, Mr. Reid wrote a letter to Mr. Comey, which of course immediately became public. “The evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign continues to mount,” wrote Mr. Reid, going on to float Team Clinton’s Russians-are-helping-Trump theory. Mr. Reid publicly divulged at least one of the allegations contained in the infamous Steele dossier, insisting that the FBI use “every resource available to investigate this matter.”
The Reid letter marked the first official blast of the Brennan-Clinton collusion narrative into the open. Clinton opposition-research firm Fusion GPS followed up by briefing its media allies about the dossier it had dropped off at the FBI. On Sept. 23, Yahoo News’s Michael Isikoff ran the headline: “U.S. intel officials probe ties between Trump adviser and Kremlin.” Voilà. Not only was the collusion narrative out there, but so was evidence that the FBI was investigating.
In their recent book “Russian Roulette,” Mr. Isikoff and David Corn say even Mr. Reid believed Mr. Brennan had an “ulterior motive” with the briefing, and “concluded the CIA chief believed the public needed to know about the Russia operation, including the information about the possible links to the Trump campaign.” (Brennan allies have denied his aim was to leak damaging information.)
Clinton supporters have a plausible case that Mr. Comey’s late-October announcement that the FBI had reopened its investigation into the candidate affected the election. But Trump supporters have a claim that the public outing of the collusion narrative and FBI investigation took a toll on their candidate.
And as Strassel so poignantly concludes:
Politics was at the center of that outing, and Mr. Brennan was a ringmaster. Remember that when reading his next “treason” tweet.
Wow.....Dr Michael Scheuer unloads on Brennan, Clapper etc”

Looks like Wallace has his full #NeverTrump roundtable in full force to hammer hard. Not one show worth watching. What is the over/under on number of times “traitor” is said today, 50?
Very national! If Trump is successful in liberating Oregon no telling how far he can go. You can bet he won’t ignore it,just a matter of time before it gets on his radar screen.
Suppose Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man ran for president.
Or Daddy Warbucks. Or Bruce Wayne.
All billionaire/Millionaires, and somewhat playboys (especially Tony Stark).
How would the press treat them?
You know the answer.
Are they democrat or Republican?
That is the ONLY factor.
I wish Johnny Carson was still around to weigh in on the Comey Commie Clapper Caper...
No AC. We had big fans mounted in the windows.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t that hot in the dorms.
And since we drilled for hours everyday, as well as calisthenics, classwork, this and that, by the time we hit the rack we were exhausted and fell asleep like rocks.
It was hot when we drilled, that’s for sure. The worst day was when there were thunderstorms, so the TI made us wear blue rubber USAF full length raincoats. A couple of guys passed out so he relented and let us take them off.
I read that last night.
This guy Brennan is a real POS.
Some people say he should be swinging from a rope.
I do to.
I wish we lived in a time where, a side from a few innocent jokes, Late Night talk shows hadn’t become propaganda organs of the democratic-socialists.
Johnny had more class in his little finger than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien have in their collective bodies.
Pathetic aint it? But I can’t look away... LOL
Whoopi was a spectacular mess, quite the comedian...
Finally, guests worth watching!
And as a special bonus, we don’t have to hear them talking about politics!
MTP is the only watchable program with Spieth in the lead to repeat. The wind blowing should make it interesting. Sure beats watching fake News roundup.
Little Marco making the rounds.
