Maybe it’s the way you describe all those different species of fish, but that makes me eager to get a line in the water. Been 30 years since I fished off shore, and I do miss it!
PLUS!
Get together with everyone would be awesome!
Not to be dismissive but I have found that my personal priorities over the past dozen years have evolved to:
1) Read/lurk the ‘net
2) Pray for guidance
3) Run the ‘loader (Especially since I added that Glock to my collection, adding .40 S&W to the inventory)
I’m afraid posting (like this) got dropped out of the top ten.......
Stop pretending the football players are college students, and no requirement to go to college classes.
Each team plays the other 15 teams, alternating home field advantage.
Split the 16 team league into divisions, and make up some complicated, drawn-out playoff system.
Big hoopla final, and since everybody played each other at least once, no more excuses about "woulda, coulda, shoulda but the schedule did not allow it to happen."
And the rest of the current colleges could remain in the NCAA, pretty much under current rules, except that the last real college game would be no later than the Saturday after Thanksgiving. And the coaches at "real" colleges could not be paid more than the highest-paid Dean at the college.
Then we can go back to the days when Chip Hilton and Fireball Finley were the local stars. (With a tip of the hat to Clair Bee.)
all channels key in on Flynn,Kushner,only people on our side even though there are hundreds of Mueller arrest docs out there and no one knows who they are for. Gay boy goober now talking bad on CBS about Roy Moore and how bad he is for the Senate. Now Lindsay is talking bad about the President, it never ends with the rino banda de los ochos.
The more I hear read and take in about Flynn he looks like a classic spy.
Sharyll Atkisson at 9:30 only one left other than Maria Bartiromo at 10:00 Eastern and watch the others to know your enemy.
Yeah we gotta do it. I have two friends that have party boats depending on how many go....
Posting as we do now is awesome. Under Obamba it was less effective although pointed out many of his abuses.
Now often times stuff we post actually comes true!!Thanks to the best potus we have had since Reagan.
Good article, but chances are Sessions would deny the request to setup a special counsel for Iranian nukes, just as he’s so far refused to setup one to investigate anything else related to the previous administration despite many calls for it.
The hypocrisy is incredible, since there was little evidence of a crime before Mueller’s SC was setup. As Trump’s recent tweets are saying, this is obviously a double standard, if not outright corruption on full display.
The NCAA today uses an extended football playoff system in division 2, so the argument about over-stressing athletes is not their concern. It's a flimsy excuse that affects a very small number of teams. It's money and the bowl system and sponsors that are being protected.
Expanding the championship to 8 teams and three games will not remove the controversy over who should be in the final 8.
Certainly true, but in an enterprise with 5 strong major conferences, 8 seeds is necessary and will be instituted as soon as sponsors can figure out how to monetize it. You will see, however, a conference like the MAC or others bidding to become the 6th auto seed. Rothlisberger is a prominent MAC alumni, for example.
I think we go too far saying Flynn “worked for Obama.” He was director of the DIA.
I used to work at the DIA. Did a four year tour there.
The director is a three-star appointed officer of the US Military, and revolves between a Navy Admiral, and Air Force, Army and Marines Lt Generals. While all senior flag officers are appointed by the president, it is really Sec-Def and the respective service chiefs who calls it in.
Appointments to the joint agencies like DIA are also done from the White House, but still upon recommendation of the DoD. I don’t think any president or administration that’s not DoD knows who’s who in the military anyway.
From any president or his andministration’s perspective, it’s easier to fire or NOT promote an officer who is politically or strategically opposed than to find one who is a Quisling and appoint him/her.
That's the second time you said that.
What do you mean, a "spook"?
Explain like I was five years old, LoL!
It has always been my contention that the Intel Community did not want Flynn as the NSC advisor considering him to be a loose cannon and not a team player. The Russian collusion narrative was used as a pretext to take down Flynn.
Flynn was interviewed by the FBI long before Mueller was named. The Trump campaign investigation started in July 2016. It appears that a FISA warrant was issued based on the Steele dossier. Hence the "monitoring" of the Trump campaign team by the intel community began then and continued during the transition after the election. The FBI had recordings of the Flynn conversations with the Russian Ambassador and with other members of the Trump transition team. Flynn's unmasking was the real crime along with others that we will learn about.
IMO Flynn's "lies" about the conversation primarily had to do with protecting Trump's desire to have better relations with the Russians. Obama's increased sanctions against the Russians during the last few weeks of his Presidency were meant to tie Trump's hands on our relations with Russia. It was all part of the narrative to de-legitimize Trump's election using the phony Russian collusion narrative. In regard to Russia, Flynn did nothing illegal.
As Andrew McCarthy posited about why the FBI decided to investigate Flynn,
I believe the explanation is threefold: (1) to punish Flynn, and derivatively the incoming Trump administration, for opposing Obama’s anti-Israel legerdemain in the Security Council; (2) to promote the political narrative that Russia–Trump collusion had cheated Clinton out of her rightful election victory; and (3) to tie this collusion narrative to sanctions relief, thereby making it politically impossible for Trump to roll back Obama’s sanctions once he was sworn in — a boon for the Democrats’ collusion narrative since the sanctions stand as a reminder of Russia’s election meddling.
The ongoing Mueller probe is not a good-faith investigation of suspected espionage or other crime. It is the exploitation of the executive’s intelligence-gathering and law-enforcement powers in order to (a) criminalize Trump political policies with which the Obama administration disagreed and (b) frame Clinton’s electoral defeat as the product of a traitorous scheme rather than a rejection of Democratic-party priorities.
We can stipulate that General Flynn is a very foolish man. He was not required to speak to the FBI when agents came to interview him on January 24. He is, moreover, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency: He had every reason to know that the FBI must have been monitoring Kislyak (and perhaps other foreign officials with whom Flynn was in contact). He had every reason to know that the Bureau must have had recordings of the conversations the agents wanted to ask him about. Astonishingly, he chose to submit to the interview anyway, and to lie. It is fair enough to say that he has no one to blame but himself, and that a person of such poor judgment should not be the president’s principal adviser on national-security matters.
It should also be noted that Flynn did not have a lawyer present when being interviewed by the FBI. I find that astonishing given the circumstances. His failure to report his private relationship with the Turkish government was the most egregious mistake he made.
A spy
Hey, thanks and good to see you!
Don’t be a stranger, Radix. your input and comments are ALWAYS welcome!
And by the way, you echo my exact sentiments about the Sunday shows, except for Russert. He was very partisan but extremely skilled at it. He mostly gave himself away with his body language. I used to post pictures. He was always leaning back and open when democrats where being interviewed, and hunched forward and scowling, even clutching his notes like a shield, when interviewing Republicans.
Football is under fire from the Left. They are killing it at the lower levels and this will have an effect on the college and professional level. Lower participation in Pop Warner and high school football will reduce the pool of players.
You must be really old.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Rep. Adam Schi(t)ff D-Calif.;...HAHAHA...I see what you did there....THANKS for the POST.
1.Not required to speak to FBI agents--who gets away with that,spies who have valued intel not for publication.
2.Former head of DIA,Defense Intelligence Agency,this guy has spy written all over him....Imho.
3.Submitted to interview and lied,. "Lying" is what spies do over and over.
4. Was President Trumps personal advisor on nat. Security matters, only spies know what is going on.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck even lies like a duck,most likely a duck. I think Flynn is definitely a spy.
