Just a couple of thoughts going forward...

Since Mueller was the conduit for the Clintons during the Uranium One deal, is it possible he wasn’t aware of the true nature and depth of the Clinton’s duplicity? Was he then an unwitting pawn in the Russiagate investigation? He has been strangely silent since the synopsis has been releasaed. If Barr had mis-characterized the report, wouldn’t he have said something like he did when BuzzFeed floated the Trump Jr. indictment?

Rosenstein looked like a guy who has already been informed of his pending indictment and since he stands to lose a very lucrative pension, has already agreed to tell all to Barr. If you look at the press conference, there was absolutely NO EMOTION on Rosenstein’s face. He looked straight ahead like he was contemplating how his life behind bars could be. Something is afoot and Mr. Rosenstein is up to his eyebrows in it.

I think the appointment of Barr changed the dynamic of the players. I also believe Barr, Horowitz, and Huber are further along with peeling back the onion of corruption than most people know.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump isn’t playing a game of rope-a-dope. He lets the Democrats pontificate about impeachment, lets Schiff and Nadler make bigger fools out of themselves and sends “fo-five” into the looney bin. He then drops the hammer at the appropriate time and the rats are all scurrying to play “Let’s Make A Deal.” Remember, there are some members of the main-street media who could find themselves in legal hot water for their bribes to FBI officials.

It will be interesting to see what develops.

Even the excerpt is incomprehensible

“”Unfortunately, it’s impossible to read the article on that site. Signal to noise ratio is far too low.””

I don’t know how many times this complaint has been lodged. It truly is annoying to TRY to read the full article. Why do these threads alternate between full or excerpted? I won’t click to read the full one as it’s impossible to navigate. I don’t think we’ve ever gotten an explanation so I’ll do without reading any of it.

I am working with the advertiser to improve the content, but to be honest, it is far, far less intrusive than I see on most other site. No pop-ups, for instance, which I’ve refused to take on even though they would be much more lucrative.

My alternative to ads is to make it a pay site, and if I did that, people would gripe about having to pay. I can’t please everyone, but to be honest, I really don’t get many complaints by people who actually read what I write.

Good.

I actually read what you write and would be happy to see ads and might even click on a few.

The way it is now, the ads get in the way of the content, at least for me. I can’t tell the difference between ads and content mixed vertically.

It’s great that you aren’t getting complaints. Maybe it’s fine as is.

I won’t bring this up any more on FR.

Good luck!

Ok, I’m going to through this one more time (I’ve done it several times here before):

Every Sunday, I do a Week in Review, which consists almost solely of screenshots of Tweets. I’m not going to spend the 2 hours it would take to convert 40-50 tweets into code on this ancient platform used here.

Thus, for the Week in Review and other pieces I post that have a lot of video/photo content, I post excerpts. If the extra click is just too much for you to bear, well, sorry.

ON ALL OTHER pieces, I post the full piece here. That’s about 9 out of 10.

Honestly, I get ZERO complaints about this from anywhere else other than FR. You are the whiniest bunch of people on earth.

I watched that man and he didn’t even blink. The other man behind Barr was behaving normally but Rosenstein looked like a mummy...I kept waiting for him to blink and he just didn’t - the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen..

The content of your writing is not an issue - it’s not being able to navigate through the muddle on the site. Why do you post the whole thing at times and other times just excerpts? I’ve always enjoyed reading your threads and passing them on but I can’t get through the site. If you go back to posting your entire articles, we’ll all read them as you’re always on the money - bad pun?

You are “too kind” to Mueller. He should be prosecuted for what he did as well! He full well knew that there was “no there there” a few weeks after starting his “investigation!”

I’m not defending Mueller, or at least didn’t intend to, I’m just noting that he’s still not at the level of jeopardy as Rosenstein is...not even close.”””

IF Mueller is part of Uranium One, he is in great jeopardy.

IMO, this is the worst scandal of the Obama/’Hillary SOS years.

I love your writing. I also understand your posting the “weekend update” as an excerpt. It is perfectly fine that way.

Not sure exactly why people are complaining about your site. it looks fine in my browser. Perhaps it is because I use adblock plus and uBlock in my browser. Using these the format is great and everything looks neat and tidy.

Of course it does defeat the purpose of the ads. I get 11 blocks on adBlock and 6 blocks on uBlock.

So I went back and turned off all the ad blockers to see what the fuss is. Couple of ads showed up but site still looked the same to me. Main difference was the buttons on the side that link to facebook, pinterest, etc. but they seem formatted correctly and off to the side.

Please keep up the good work

That is all 80)

No, keep bringing it up - just do it in a private message or a reply to me on the site. I responded positively to two PMs here just this morning, and made changes as a result.

‘IF Mueller is part of Uranium One, he is in great jeopardy...IMO, this is the worst scandal of the Obama/’Hillary SOS years.’
‘You are “too kind” to Mueller. ‘

I hear you guys, and I guess that I am being easy on Mueller, probably because I’m so used to Democrat operative doing things like Uranium One, giving China ICBM capability, running guns, etc... Just expected by me, at this point, when we elect Democrats. I guess.

But plotting to throw an election, and then, when that fails, being part of a COUP ATTEMPT by framing a president for TREASON. That is new territory...even by Democrat standards. So, I was using that as my new yardstick. I doubt even most leaders on our side yet comprehend what we’re looking at.

With that kind of attitude, I take back the compliments I paid you on your writing and will be sure to stay away from your threads from now on.

I believe I replied to a post of yours BEFORE you made any explanation of why the difference in postings...but it doesn’t matter now.
