Yeah for sure Bernard, cave living probably precludes a long life for what he had even with CIA help.

By the way, I did not tell Kaitlyn the story of her mother and the army.

Maybe some day.

Kaitlyn knows about her mother. I think someday Kaitlyn’s going to tell her story. Sometimes she talks to me about it.

Week before last she was with her paternal grandmother, who lives near me, and after this she was supposed to come visit me. Only her Uncle needed a babysitter and Kaitlyn babysits for every child in the family and is the expert at it.

While she stayed with her Uncle she did some work around the house. In the end she made over $400.

Kaitlyn works hard, always has.

So she comes back to visit me for a few days then up to visit her mother, who still lives in Delaware I wish she’d go back to Merryland.

Kaitlyn spent all that money on her mother. Because her mother had not one dime and Kaitlyn knew it. It’s why she worked so hard.

Ahhhhhhh, sometimes I might sound sad, but Kaitlyn told me last week that she knows everyone hates her mother.

But the gubmint gives daughter what she wants. 8 garbage restraining orders against her husband (who finally divorced her, btw) and 2 bogus ones against me.

She says we are mean to her, they find us guilty and take our guns.

Gubmint gets money for mistreated women.

This country is upside down.

But I think Kaitlyn’s going to surprise. She is beloved and admired by everyone.

[DanZ]

Educate me, Dan!

My mistake on the Turning Point USA. got it confused with Center for American Progres and a few others.

Interesting Sunday Shows evolution. Over the last two month or so that I have watched Maria Martiromo's Sunday show I would posit that we have a counterbalance to ALL the Sunday shows.

Could Maria be the Sunday Show version of Shawn Hannity ?

What is FOX management up to, what tea leaves do they see that we are missing.

I am seeing a build up of pressure, the uncovering - public exposure - of the Obama DOJ/FBI malfeasance. Sept. / Oct. news releases could be very interesting

[rodguy911]

Excellent post and right on.I think the cabal had bubba do the EO of retired security cleared people being able to keep their clearances for convenience sake.They simply didn’t have to corrupt the next guy coming up to get the info they needed to keep the chaos going..

[CincyRichieRich]

Right, Candace Owens and her group seems legit (despite trashing from the left, antifa and media).

If this be Communism, let’s make the most of it!
...
Find her on Twitter and see what she is all about...nothing but awesomeness and a love of the constitution and freedom.

[kabar]

The clearances are just perks that confer status and monetary benefits. It is like allowing former Ambassadors to keep their titles and diplomatic passports. The bureaucratic hierarchy rewards its own. It is just another way to maintain institutional loyalty.

[upchuck]

Thank you Alas for this thread every week.

Having said that tnv posted, “Just cannot bring myself to watch any of this garbage today.”

BUMP!! I’m trending that way myself. Bunch of caterwauling cry babies. This country is, thank God Above, finally looking up after years of despair. How can any but the mentally diseased complain about the economic, social and foreign affairs wins this country has had in the last 18 months?

Thank God for President Trump. I pray and say thanks on a daily basis for THE MAN!

Blue Wave my ass. More like a brainsick blue trickle.

[DanZ]

Yes, exactly halfway between a RINO and Pol Pot.

Well if Jane were to kill someone she would be closer to Pol Pot, until Then, she is closer to Obama and Ocasio-Cortez

Within the flight line area of what used to be Otis AFB, is Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod.

The rest of the base, which is huge land-wise, is Camp Edwards, a National Guard/Reserve base. Used to see weekend warriors of all services there from time to time.

I was assigned to the 6th Missile (replaced with Space) Warning Squadron, Cape Cod Air Force Station, a fenced off area on the Northern tip of the base, by the Sagamore Bridge. We were just a little old radar station running a giant phased array radar.

Here's a picture:

Looks like they're getting power from windmills now.

What do they do if the enemy launches missiles when it's a dead calm?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

That’s what I said.

[Jeff Chandler]

If someone in the U.S. Department of the Treasury was ‘trading’ government collected financial information to Goldman Sachs or J.P. Morgan in exchange for ‘favors’ for members of ONE PARTY people would notice and scream bloody murder.

Not if the news media covered for them; then people wouldn't even know about it.

[bray]

Fox is 75% NeverTrumpers and filled with Bushies.

[Alas Babylon!]

Good post!

Interesting, indeed.

[Laslo Fripp]

Now you’ve got me thinking about all of the current/former military installations in New England.

Westover, Otis, Loring, Pease, Portsmouth, Limestone, Brunswick, New London, Quonset Point, Hanscom, Chatham, Sandwich, New Boston, Grenier Field, Bradley Field, South Weymouth, Barnes Field, Charlestown Navy Yard (including the Marine Barracks), Hull, a few NIKE batteries, Fort Devens, Edwards, etc..

[bray]

Windmills were probably Barack boondoggles.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Bin Laden died in 2001. He was the victim of a degenerative disease known as Marfan Syndrome. It is a particularly unpleasant way to die.

I love stories with a happy ending.

[Jeff Chandler]

BOTH are rabid political operatives. Commissars if you ask me.

Nomenklatura.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The CIA chief was seen in the lift, on his way to see Bin Laden

And who, pray tell, would that be?

[Kahuna]

Thanks for taking the time to stimulate threads on Sunday morning. Although I get started a tad late due to my western location, I can rely on you folks to give me a synopsis of the left’s weekly assault on America. Several of you this week have pointed on that Trump is handling the Brannan stuff with skill and acumen. I couldn’t agree more especially when not long ago the media had a miserable 18% likeability with adult Americans. People despise the press and Trump is handing them nice new shovels everyday as they continue to dig a huge hole.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Mullin was part of the State Department Accountability Review Board headed by Amb Tom Pickering to examine what happened at Benghazi. The ARB never interviewed Hillary and was just another coverup. Mullen played a key role in ensuring the fix was in.

The thought plickens.
