A) The Senate Judiciary Committee today held off on approving subpoenas for a host of former Obama Administration officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, tied to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
B) The committee engaged in two hours of spirited debate. But Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) decided to hold off on issuing more than 50 subpoenas until the panel convenes again next week. We expect the committee to meet again a week from toda, on June 11.

CDC warns of aggressive cannibal rats facing shortage of garbage to eat
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned of “unusual or aggressive” behavior in American rats as a consequence of more than two months of human lockdown for city-dwelling rodents who now find themselves unable to dine out on restaurant waste, street garbage and other food sources.
Last month, according to the national health body, dumpster-diving rats were observed resorting to eating their young in the wake of urban shutdowns.
“Community-wide closures have led to a decrease in food available to rodents, especially in dense commercial areas,” the CDC said in recently updated rodent-control guidelines.
“Some jurisdictions have reported an increase in rodent activity as rodents search for new sources of food. Environmental health and rodent control programs may see an increase in service requests related to rodents and reports of unusual or aggressive rodent behavior.”
Elevated levels of rat aggression has been observed in New York, where there are increased reports of cannibalism and infanticide, and New Orleans, where unusual rat behavior was caught on CCTV.
“I turn the corner, there’s about 30 rats at the corner, feasting on something in the middle of the street,” Bourbon street tour guide Charles Marsala told CBS News.
Complaints in Chicago have included reports of infestations in housing blocks as rodents seek new sources of food.
Some rodent experts predicted increased urban rat aggression.

It's my mother's funeral in 12 days time. We can't have the church service she wanted and only 10 mourners are allowed. Would anyone mind explaining why? pic.twitter.com/SaZwitZRNX— Jason Veloce (@V6_Veloce) June 3, 2020
Some modelers admit the Covid 19 model projections have been way off, but insist the climate models are golden. Remarkable. https://t.co/cEoLmECzAB— Brit Hume (@brithume) June 4, 2020

The truth is: a critical mass of mainstream journalists do not want to reflect or report on anything that they might disagree with. They see opposing views as "violence" and the attempt at objectivity a cover for "white supremacy". They are a disgrace.— Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) June 4, 2020
Ellison just made it significantly harder for prosecutors to convict Chauvin. He also increased the likelihood of multiple mistrials from hung juries. Is it possible Ellison, an avid Antifa disciple, is just laying the groundwork for more violent unrest? https://t.co/tXXhtecjT7— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) June 3, 2020
Key point in Mattis statement is he appears to think rioting that has wracked the nation just isn't a very big deal. 'We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers.' Cotton view decidedly different. https://t.co/1oRxCEgCIe— Byron York (@ByronYork) June 4, 2020
Two issues. One, widespread assumption that demonstrators can do anything--block roads, etc--as long as they are 'peaceful.' And then there is the definition of 'peaceful' itself, which apparently can include significant levels of violence. https://t.co/zhcewLdX0p— Byron York (@ByronYork) June 4, 2020

The more bricks & mortar stores that go up in flames, the better for Amazon.
The more people are afraid to go outside, the better for Amazon.
You know what else is good? A water gun filled with HOT sauce. A good water gun can shoot pretty far.

Where are their PERMITS?
The Tea Party was never allowed to gather anywhere without a permit.
Arrest all protesters that are gathering without a lawful permit! Problem solved...
