Hiya, AB!

One name is conspicuously absent from Hogg-ing the microphone this Sunday. Maybe it is related to his foul language, or perhaps his complaint about clear backpacks interfering with the "1st" Amendment right to privacy.

Maybe he has some school homework due Monday...

Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

Let us not forget this thread founder and overseer, for as many years as I can remember. Alas Babylon! He has pretty good commentary beyond his role as thread leader.

Tuesday Date-3/20/18

So I've been wondering just what is an Inspector General because I hear about them all the time.

Who are they? How are they appointed? What is their job?

There is an Inspector General about to get famous, a Horowitz, IG for the FBI in some form or fashion.

And what better place to find what is this IG we are hearing about but Wikipedia.

>>>

Office of Inspector General (OIG) is a generic term for the oversight division of a federal or state agency aimed at preventing inefficient or illegal operations within their parent agency. Such offices are attached to many federal executive departments, independent federal agencies, as well as state and local governments. Each office includes an Inspector General (or I.G.) and employees charged with identifying, auditing, and investigating fraud, waste, abuse, embezzlement and mismanagement of any kind within the executive department.

From

>>>>>>

These positions were established in 1978 initially in an effort to stop Medicare/Medicaid waste and abuse.

Some IG's are appointed by the President, most are appointed by the head of their respective divisions.

Below, an interesting tidbit.

>>>

Inspectors General have also been criticized for being, rather than guardians of whistleblowers, instead, ineffective, inactive, or at worst, instruments by which whistleblowers are persecuted. One example is from the Securities and Exchange Commission OIG. In a 2011 article by Matt Taibbi, SEC whistleblowers said that complaining to the SEC OIG was "well-known to be a career-killer."[89] Another example is from whistleblower Jesselyn Radack's book Canary in the Coalmine, in which she describes her experience complaining to the Department of Justice OIG; instead of helping her, the IG office helped the DOJ get her fired and restricted from practicing as a lawyer.[90] Another example is from the Thomas Andrews Drake case, in which several complainants to the Department of Defense OIG over NSA's Trailblazer Project were later raided by the FBI and some threatened with criminal prosecution.[91]>>>>

Note that whistleblowers (those most likely to contact an IG with problems in the work envionment. Note that the DOJ OIG got a whistleblower fired, one Jesselyn Radick.

And guess who helped her get her job back. MICHAEL FLYNN!!!

And first thing, ole honest Comey, Mueller, McCabe and the rest of those corrupt zeroes in the FBI was to FIRE FLYNN!!!

Folks, they are the KGB.

And trust that they will take down my Blog, this Facebook page….they are really after me.

Wednesday Date-3/21/18

Peter Schweizer wrote a new book that looks like a good one. Schweizer is the guy who wrote "Clinton Cash" and a few other exposes of our government servants getting rich on the taxpayer dime.

This book, as I am to understand, reveals some intriguing information about former VP Joe Biden and a most amazing deal he made for his son, Hunter, with the Chinese government.

Also, and this astounds….there's some questionable financial activities involving, of all people, Majority Leader McConnell!!!

No wonder that guy always votes with the Democrats.

------------------

There was another bomb went off in Texas, this time at the Fedex building.

No one was seriously hurt when this bomb went off but as of this writing, there has been four bombs exploding in the area around Austin, Texas.

There's always some nut, somewhere, isn't it?

Keeping eye upon.

Thursday Date-3/22/18

So they found, and caused to die, the Austin Bomber.

Last name is Conditt and this early in the case the media is trying to make him into a Conservative that hates abortion and loves the death penalty.

Kid's a nut job, simple as that.

For nut jobs are out there, shooting people from Las Vegas hotel windows and bombing people in Texas.

--------------------------

The stock market goes up and down from day to day. The Russian investigation, biggest waste of time on the planet, continues on.

And it's snowing here in Delaware and the old people in Sussex county are having cows.

Friday Date-3/23/18

Here's an interesting tidbit. Seems that Seth Rich, a DNC staffer who was murdered, so some folks think, for being about to reveal information about Hillary's email.

Rich was taken to the hospital in reasonably good shape, after being shot but NOT robbed. He died in the hospital, oddly.

Here's a clipping from a FreeRepublic post:

>>>>>>>>>>>

Jack Burkman, the leader of the controversial investigation into the murder of former DNC staffer Seth Rich, was shot twice in the back and run over by a man who claimed to have worked as a special agent in the Department of Energy, authorities say.

Burkman was attacked in the Rosslyn Marriott hotel parking garage in Washington, D.C. on Mar. 13, lured to the spot by promises of secret documents on the Clintons by an FBI whistleblower.

From

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wow. People are now dying, or attacked, oddly.

---------------------------------

President Trump's lawyer for the infamous Russian collusion joke of an investigation, John Dowd, resigned, yesterday.

There are, as these things go, much speculation as to why but we think the appointment of one of my favorite pundit lawyers, Joe DeGenova, might be the reason why.

Because this Mueller guy, and STOP TELLING ME HE'S A GOOD AND DECENT GUY…HE's A CROOK….won't give it up. He's already bankrupted American Patriot Michael Flynn.

He's trying to bring down a lawfully elected president, whether you like him or not.

I love Joe DeGenova. Let's see how this pans out.

Saturday Date-3/24/18

John Bolton, he who is handsome with a magnificent mustache, is our new National Security Advisor.

By me, this is a magnificent pick. I love this guy and am proud of President Trump for picking him.

President Trump signed the omnibus budget yesterday and there's plenty of very unhappy Republicans.

The problem seems to be that no "wall" was budgeted for and a silly rule that as much money must be spent on social service activity as on defense.

The only way I can defend this is, I dunno, maybe a deal was made to avoid shutting down the government, to allow the congress critters to go home for Spring break….I dunno a deal.

Then the promise was made that after Easter the Mueller joke will be stopped and then Trump can work the budget with deep soul without bother of worry about the nut jobs out to get him.

Just a guess and I'm probably wrong.

On a Personal Note-Matthew Fish

It would seem my nephew, Matthew Fish, son of my late husband's brother Michael, is again on a roll.

Matthew, now at age 15, is quite the political junkee and he swears he is going to be President when he is 35. He and I love to talk politics.

He lives in Massachusetts and is very active in various political activities, most recently he attended a quasi-UN conference.

NOW HE IS GOING TO CHINA!

My mother-in-law is a wreck. I told them no matter what do not let him go to North Korea for truth is, Matthew would probably go.

It's an extension of that mock UN thing, with certain original participants chosen to go overseas. Matthew has a choice of either Bejing, China or Warsaw, Poland. So far he leans toward China.

This will not happen until this upcoming August and I am vague about how this all works.

But Matthew's Mom keeps the world updated on Facebook and it turns out that my granddaughter's family is friends with the Fish people from Massachusetts, who knew? Someday, who knows again, that granddaughter might be First Lady.

Keeping an eyeball on future President Matthew Fish.

Hey Walice!

I do not need to be lectured by some teenage millennial-moron RAT on why they should disarm the public because some violent freak was ALLOWED to shoot up their high school.

*CLICK*

Good morning everyone!

I think the Left is talking the Democrats right out of winning the House. Despite the hype, most Americans are not interested in backing this latest assault on the 2nd Amendment by the Anti Gun Jihad.

Just finished watching the softball interview of the students by Wallass. No hard questions about how to secure the schools. Interesting that they want to restrict the sale of rifles to 21 and above yet they want 18 year olds to get out to be more politically active and vote. So you can vote and serve in the military at 18, but you are not qualified to own a weapon. The majority of 18 year olds go directly into the workforce from high school. They are adults.

I have always opposed raising the drinking age to 21. I remember the days growing up in NY when you could drink at 18. This is part of infantilizing our youth, e.g., staying on your parents healthcare until age 26.

Where did all those millions of dollars go? Good question.

“They’re being directed by people with knowledge of how to responsibly spend this money and it’s going to be very transparent. Every penny is going to be accounted for,” Jeff Kasky, the father of one of the students, claimed.

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) broke from President Donald Trump’s policy to ban most transgender people from serving in the US military citing “gender dysphoria.”

Ernst said, “I support allowing those transgenders that can serve I believe they should serve.

Be sure to vote Republican next election. In a pig's eye.
