Today is the PA-18 election for Congress for a seat vacated by a long time GOP rep Tim Murphy who got caught up in #MeToo…Anyway, the polling data is all over the place and some of it really creative like the Monmouth Poll that uses a Surge Model with GOP -4% of the Dems 50% and 4% Neither.. I have a MS in Applied Statistics and I have never heard of this kind of model. I’m not even sure that this sample is legitimate, does it reflect the reality on the ground? We’ll see today.
And, like I said, Pigs Flew Today. They did. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette endorsed Rick Saccone…No, for real, the Party Organ for the Democrats in Pittsburgh endorsed the GOP candidate! I’m not sure what to say about this. I am, frankly, shocked by this and had to make sure that I wasn’t having a some sort of flashback that was causing me to hallucinate.
Should be an interesting night after the polls close.
“I’m not sure what to say about this.”
I would venture a guess that the internal polls for democrats in fly-over country look pretty damn bleak. It isn’t like the dems have a deep bench and a full war chest these days.

There is another consideration. If Mr. Lamb, 33, wins, it could well be the start of a Democratic wave. The prospect of a Democratic House may please partisans, but it might be bad for the country.
The Democrats in the House have only one agenda item at the moment, and it isn’t health care or jobs. It is impeachment. Regardless of whether one likes this president or his policies, one must ask what the consequence for the country will be if we dive into so great a distraction.

The scuttlebutt on the social media platforms is that Tillerson was out for calling out Putin yesterday as the mastermind behind the UK poisoning. Sarah Sanders says Trump asked for his notice back on Friday.
Personally, I think Trump was pissed that Tillerson didn’t clean the damn house over at Foggy Bottom. I look to Pompeo to be shopping for brooms at Home Depot in the near future.
So the new girl does wet work? Hey, I’m down – Helen Mirren’s “Victoria” was my favorite character in the “Red” series. Old girl with a gun. Love it.

https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2018/03/13/good-riddance-is-this-why-rex-tillerson-was-fired/
Free Beacon reports Tillerson was engaging in a rogue bid to SAVE the Iran Deal.
I said “good riddance” when I first read the news this morning. If this is true I say “be grateful Trump didn’t personally plant his boot in your ass out the door.”
Oh, and a smarmy little snake at State decided to challenge White House reports on HOW Tillerson was notified. He’s also packing up his desk today. With the added bonus that I have no doubt Pompeo will make strong efforts to clean out Foggy Bottom – here’s a thought. If the emails and documents still exist on Benghazi, he’s now going to have access to them.
@ Deplorable Barbarian:
that doesn’t sound rogue. It DOES sound stupid
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-trump-nominates-new-pro-life-secretary-of-state
Not that this is particularly relevant.
But Tillerson’s deputy Goldstein was also fired last week in a clearing of the decks exercise at State and Pompeo is the broom that has been given the job of ridding the Department of State of not only Obama holdovers but 70+ years of highly partisan leftist politic. Pompeo has his work cut out for him as State attempts to maintain the status quo in Korea and with Russia and especially in the Middle East namely Iran. Trump is a wrecker by nature where ‘constructive destruction’ is a mythology to enable great change over short periods. Read the Art of the Deal!

Being a ‘she’ will also threaten some of the PC dead wood inside the agency from attacking her personally.

As far as attacking Haskell, I doubt you’ve seen him but there’s a ‘former CIA agent’ by the name of Phillip Mudd that gets carted out to all the hate-Trump media. His contempt for Trump wafts thru the screen like week-old garbage in the summer heat. He couldn’t trash the N.K. announcement enough, talking about how stupid Trump is and how he’s being taken for a chump. I imagine he’ll be doing the rounds again talking about how un-American Haskell is for waterboarding people and how this makes Trump an accessory to war crimes or something. Keep an eye out for him, he’s very entertaining. Also, I don’t know what ‘former agent’ means in his case, he doesn’t seem like the kind of personality that could actually run agents. If they picked up the wrong fork, he’d probably burn them.

I just caught the tail end of this as I sat down and didn’t have context to understand exactly what he was talking about. Trump is thinking about a new military branch – for space. Very cool. This should finish bankrupting Russia and give China a good, hard shove.
———-
President Trump told a military crowd near San Diego on Tuesday that he believes the U.S. may need to create a new military branch for outer space, providing a boost to an idea that has so far struggled to gain momentum in Congress as well as the Pentagon.
“My new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea. We may even have a space force, develop another one: Space Force.” Trump said in a speech at the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station

As horrible as that is, if an airline employee told you to stuff your child in the overhead would you do it? No. Rules for the flight should have been understood in advance. I would have left the plane with my dog if I were told to put her in the overhead. The responsibility for the dog belongs to the owner, which is why I won’t put my dogs on a plane, period.
That being said, the attendant should be fired just on the basis of animal cruelty. Name and photo, complete doxing is warranted for the entire cabin crew. Charges should be filed for animal cruelty against the airline and crew. FOR FUCKING MILLIONS.

Saccone ran a horrible campaign, and leaned on the NRRC for ads, who went completely negative and basically badgered people while Lamb used that to project a positive image, using his veteran status as a springboard.
The only ads I saw linking Saccone to Trump happened in the last three days.
All of the GOP sponsored ads focused on ‘Nancy Pelosi.’
I can guarantee you that most of the independents and Dems that voted for Trump don’t give a rat’s ass about Nancy Pelosi. They care about PA.

Our efforts included preconditioning, muscle stress standing and ‘gravel sitting’ positions in ‘the tank’ with full sensory denial. Four core interrogation techniques, Harsh (tricked our mind attack and simulations) soft (the most effective after conditioning) , Repetitious (more conditioning than an actual technique) and Technical Attack (quite successful using stool pidgins manipulated environments, directional mics, total darkness and ploys). We also used stage managed ploys often using the GC (which by the bye is so full of holes it can be compared to Swiss Cheese) attaching ethnicity, religion, race, sex, core moral imperatives and character. These were protected by STANAGS so that we didn’t permanently damage our own personnel. That said we were operating right on the edge of known psychological theory and the doctors and psychologists were making judgement calls all the time. I know for a fact that several subjects suffered semi permanent physical damage and a few were accidentally psychotically damaged by the process. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was recorded and we maintained serious and complete control of our staffs at all times because the techniques used had effects not only on the subjects under interrogation but those who were dishing stout and the guards controlling the process. Any personnel who showed ANY true anti-social tendencies or personality defects were immediately removed, and we had a few of them including an undiagnosed true sadist.

His childhood was HORRIFIC. It’s a wonder that he survived. He spent days at a time locked in a tiny cupboard and was subject to terrible beatings, bouts of starvation and burning attacks. I became suspicious when he and I were carrying out ‘Mutt & Jeff’ attacks (hard/soft) and he seemed to be really enjoying it. I pulled him off these ploys when my suspicions resulted in a report to a psychologist on site. At one stage he opined…, “gee Sir we make a great team” whilst smiling broadly. I needed a shower ! We also had non involved staff rotating in and out ‘watching the watchers’, like me and other control staff. I told my good lady wife that I knew that I was still OK because I was still having nightmares regularly during ‘Interrogation Training’ season.
The ‘Guard Force’ were recruited from Naval Staff so that there was less chance that the subjects wouldn’t know them. ALL of the Interrogators were fully trained and prior to the end of their course, had to undergo the same ‘inoculation experience’ as the subjects under training, including a surprise ‘shock of capture experience. by a very robust SAS ‘snatch squad’ at zero Dark thirty out of barracks, transportation to the Interrogation site, Processing and the full monty interrogation right to the edge of the governing STANAG.
