Forged Under Fire—Bob Mueller and Jim Comey’s Unusual Friendship
Also X-RAY
OMW! Brilliant
Sky Harbor. Scene of the infamous Tarmac Crime, uh, er, Visit?
see 1336 and 1341
post# that is
What does X-RAY mean?
I am not saying I think Wray is good, I’m middle of the fence about him. Arguments that he has not given over documents and he is therefore bad don’t make sense to me because of ongoing investigatinos.
Wow, it’s 1300 plus, already? No wonder my hair is messed up, it’s like riding in a convertible at high speed.
:)
I guess we will find out soon :)
He could have chosen to do what is right. Did he? between a rock and a hard place. pressure makes diamonds
pressure can also destroy the good. skin of his teeth.
I’d say we should all form our own opinion and do what seems right to us. I wore a mask when I went grocery shopping early on. I thought that there was some benefit to the white hats and/or disadvantage to the black hats.
Last week when I went out, I refused to wear a mask. I was the only person in the grocery store without one. The store had a signs saying “wear a mask”. No one stopped me. No one questioned me. I think I got one dirty look, but I strongly suspect most of the other shoppers were “with me”.
I plan to exercise my constitutional right to freedom.
I contacted the pastor of my church to say I’m happy to attend if they choose to open. From what I can tell, the question of if/when to open is being discussed. The question seems to be whether opening is what God wants. Is staying closed part of “render unto Caesar”? Or is it denying our faith? Or something else entirely?
Most conservative people I know are thinking along similar lines and struggling to make a good decision. Only one person I know is making decisions based on “cowering in fear” and blind obedience to our “government masters”.
Easy to test positive. Even goats and fruit can do it.
BTTT!!
GOOD RECALL! TARMAC! :)
Cruising to Festival in record time.
Oookay....I checked the Washingtonian link you provided. The first thing I do when faced with a publication about which I know nothing, I do searches on it, and then the author.
Forged Under Fire—Bob Mueller and Jim Comey’s Unusual Friendship
The inside story of how the most surreal night of the War on Terror united the retiring FBI director and his evident successor.

Media Bias/Fact Check was started by Dave Van Zandt who worked at a “progressive” institution, New School. So the site Media Bias/fact check is definitely not on the ‘right’ or conservative side. Yet it says that the Washingtonian is far left.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washingtonian-bias-credibility-rating/
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy
History
Founded in 1965, the Washingtonian is a monthly magazine distributed in the Washington, D.C. area. The magazine focuses on local feature journalism, guide book–style articles, real estate, and politics. The current editor is Michael Schaffer.
Funded by / Ownership
The Washingtonian is family-owned through Washington Magazine Inc. The former CEO was Philip Merrill (1934–2006), who was succeeded as chairman by his wife, Eleanor; their daughter Catherine Merrill Williams is the president and publisher. Revenue is generated through subscription fees, advertising, sponsored content and Amazon Affiliate links.
Analysis / Bias
In review, the Washingtonian Magazine is published monthly, however the website is updated daily. Journalists cover topics in the DC area that consists of entertainment, culture, general news and politics. News reporting tends to favor the left through story selection and wording such as this: Far-Right Activists Brought Their Gripes About Social Media to a Park Near the White House This Weekend. This story is properly sourced to high factual left leaning sources such as the Daily Beast and Vox. The Washingtonian also produces long form journalism that is thoroughly researched such as this: A Murder on the Rappahannock River. The website also provides rankings that include top physicians, top places to dine, and top neighborhoods. Editorially, almost all opinions favor the left and denigrate the right such as this: We Should All Cringe With Embarrassment About Trump’s Banana-Republic July 4 Spectacle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, enough of the publication. The author, Garrett M. Graff, The Aspen Institute is about as deprish as they come, and Wired is considere left/center bias by the Media Bias site:

Garrett M. Graff (@vermontgmg) is a contributing editor at WIRED and a director at The Aspen Institute. He is the author of the No. 1 national bestseller The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11. He can be reached at garrett.graff@gmail.com.
Here’s his twitter account, he is obviously not on Trump’s side of things:

Lastly, the Washingtonian article itself: I tried to read it, I really did. It’s written like a novel, with emotional words and unncessary drively fiction-type writing stuff, I could not stomach it. It did not read like a factual report, but a psychological angle emotional story thing. I just can’t read stuff like that. Of course Meuller is very icky and Comey infinitely worse. Was there another point in that article that was relevant?
So.....
As Mueller said in a speech. Once you lose a good reputation you never get it back.
I needed some stuff so put on my cheap dust mask and went into Walmart. They’ve all got employees at the entrance who won’t let you without one, so it’s not the hill to die on here in IL. So Herr Governor and Dick Tator Jimmy “Fatboi” Prickster has decreed and so mote it be. He did put out some new guidelines, breaking the state into 11 “health regions” and laying out a five-phase stepwise approach that isn’t as bad as I expected, at least it recognizes the whole state isn’t Chitcago. Pretty much based on Trump’s recommendations.
Now if we could just find a way to build a wall around regions 7 thru 11 and make it a different state.
x is short for chris, ie x-mas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m a simple gal. So X-RAY means Chris Wray. Is he mentioned in the article? I couldn’t read it, I tried, I explain above.
If you have some good info, maybe just copy the good bits and post.
