Judge Moore lost in deep deep red Alabama to a Democrat. I honestly can say that I am surprised. I assumed that the Evangelical Vote was there just enough for him to pull it out. Let’s face it, this election should not have been even close. Moore was the wrong candidate, Strange or Mo Brooks would have won this thing going away and Trump knew it. Strange or Brooks would have voted 99/100 the same as Moore in the Senate. Bannon’s power play failed. and now there is a Democrat Senator From Alabama. A Democrat Senator From Alabama.
Instead of an easy win with a great candidate, the Moron Bannon decided to push a pedophile, frankly, into the election. Honestly, if I were a ‘Bama voter I would have sat on my hands yesterday. Moore had a thing for teenie-boppers when he was in his 30’s (and I don’t care if they were ‘of age’). I have 3 daughters, if a 30-something showed up to date one of them in their teens he and I would go downstairs to the bar, share a scotch and even a cigar, and then we would have a discussion. We would talk about which would hurt worse, bird shot/rock salt to the balls or 00-buck to the thoracic cavity, would it be worse to be castrated with a a red-hot bolt-cutter or have the jewels repeatedly smashed with Louisville’s Finest Maple Baseball Bat? We would also discuss various bursting pressures of the male testicle when placed in different anatomical positions while using a hand-cranked vice; there may even be a discussion of the finer more violent points of Pecak Silat. All of this wide ranging, erudite banter would occur whilst I cleaned one of the AKs.
My assumption about the Evangelicals was wrong. They did what exactly I would have done. They stayed home and I give them kudos for that. Moore was the wrong guy and all of his bluster and stunts yielded nothing. So, what have we learned? We saw this happen a few times before. We need to run Trump/America First candidates who aren’t puritanical firebrands with a hangup for teenie-boppers (or any other bizarre predilections). We also learned the Trump was right again, and Bannon was wrong, again. And Bannon is too close to Lyin’ Ted Cruz for my liking.
The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/12/in_final-hour_order_court_rule.html
In final-hour order, court rules that Alabama can destroy digital voting records after all
This is crazier and crazier every second. Why destroy the records at ALL?
Sad to hear — Mo Brooks has announced on the House Floor that he has prostate cancer. Prayers for his recovery. Had HE been the candidate, I think Doug Jones would be sitting at home in his underwear and his ugly mug in front of the TV looking like the guy in the “Lending Tree” commercial.
McConnell worked overtime to taint Mo Brooks in the primary, pulling his oh-so-fabulous race card and other garbage, as I recall. I think he thought his candidate Strange would be able to beat Moore handily in a runoff. When that didn’t happen, I think he orchestrated the write-in campaign.
Oh, and isn’t it interesting that a Jeb Bush operative is the one that gave the WaPo reporters the head’s up on the Moore allegations. Wasn’t Jeb one of McConnell’s FAVORITE candidates back in the day. The establishment guy with the donor money. I don’t think this is a coincidence. I have a sneaking feeling it was McConnell who set this whole business in motion and used one of Jeb’s guys to do it. Because Luther didn’t win the run-off.
All because Alabama wouldn’t kowtow to McConnell. Dude has to go.
HOWEVER, if McConnell thinks the defeat of Moore is a validation of his agenda and establishment policies, he’s more full of crap than a septic tank.
To his credit, Trump sent out a gracious tweet congratulating the pie-faced baby killer on his win in Alabama.
Of course, let’s thank Jeff Sessions for resigning a deep red seat to become an ineffecutual recusal-machine of an Attorney General.

Allred may not have a law license by the time the 2018 elections roll around. I don’t know what she’s going to do if the GOP works overtime to find themselves qualified WOMEN to run for those seats. Her smear campaign against Meg Whitman in California involved an illegal not paid for overtime which in essence exposed to “client” to deportation.
But we need to VET these candidates folks. And more importantly, if the Dems and media are going to dig up dirt on our candidates, it’s time WE headed to Home Depot for some shovels of our own.

Like it or not, the lesson any potential GOP candidate is going to take away from this is that unless the GOPe support is there, your opponent can destroy you and your family for a generation and you will have no recourse.
People are throwing dirt on Bannon’s grave and they’d better hope they’re right. Because on his good days, he’s formidable, piss him off and the best you can hope for is a grave somebody can find.

He would be wasted on the 9th. Too many liberals on the Court for him to even make the slightest difference. There are maybe four originalists on the Circuit. Even if a Constitutional cause wins at the hot bench level, the court invariably grants a petition for hearing en banc so that the rest of the liberal justices can neuter it.
I know he is not the most popular around here – mostly for failure to follow up when it has meaning, but for what it’s worth, Trey Gowdy nailed that wolf in sheepskin’s clothing Rod Rosenstein today.

Johnson supported Trump, and I think he wants the spotlight on THAT.
I think that Matt Drudge, like all of his neighbors, though that Trump was going to lose FOR SURE, and anything supporting him that he may have linked to pre-election was a feint to the majority of his traffic.
Heck he was linking often to Infowars, which, when taken in context could be seen as a veiled insult which merely raised eyebrows back then.
In short, I don’t think Drudge cares much for Trump, or the people who voted for him.

Horowitz, writing to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, said that his office obtained the Strzok texts after asking the FBI to produce communications from bureau-issued phones for a select group of employees who worked on the Clinton email probe.
If this is the case, it doesn’t make him any less stupid, it just may explain his faulty thinking.

I didn’t catch that nuance – but now that I think of it, yes, you’re right.
Jackie’s mother, Janet Auchincloss, was a nasty piece of work. Everyone knows the story of how she manueuvered it so BlackJack Bouvier would be too drunk to get up and walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day to Kennedy, which meant Hugh Auchincloss, with a “better” pedigree, would be on Jackie’s arm.
I also learned that on the night of the assassination, she made Caroline’s nurse tell her that her father was dead. Jackie had told her mother that SHE wanted to tell them when she returned from Bethesda Naval Hospital after escorting the President’s body, but that if the children were hearing of it, yes, someone should tell them. Janet took it upon herself to order the nurse do it – “Jackie wants you to tell Caroline.” When cornered about it, her excuse was “oh, I just wanted to spare my daughter this awful task.” Horses**t – she didn’t want to find herself in the position of doing it herself if it came down to it.
That’s right Janet. Two children get to learn their father is dead not from their Mother, who would be there to comfort them, but from the hired help.

I used to have to read The Federal Register every day. I still do every now and then if we need to submit comments which I usually get to write.
I can tell you a big percentage of the drop – is the EPA. That place had the regulatory version of diarrhea. If you look at today’s issue, for example, there are 90 docs averaging less than 10 pgs. You have no clue what a freaking miracle that is. the EPA doc count is down to 3 and one of them is a notice of reopening of the comment period because they got asses kicked.

Thoughts about going public?

does ScottTrade have a twitter account? You didn’t copy it.
turn on Hannity. He’s got the original Comey draft letter.
Well, this is interesting. Aussie and I talk a lot about the Marxist Pope Frank and now a book has been written by a journalist under a pseudonym. He was interviewed by LifeSite news and there’s this tidbit
The book is well researched and heavily footnoted, but not where you speak of allegations that the Vatican made financial contributions to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Why did you include these allegations in the book?
This accusation was made to me unambiguously by a contact in the Vatican, whose identity I have to protect. However, the allegation is quite well known to journalists. With this and other scandals I mention, my desire was to encourage further investigation by researchers who are better qualified than I am to delve into financial matters.

If I were Strzok’s wife, I’d start divorce proceedings now and get all the assets I can before he needs to start liquidating to pay lawyers.
