let’s follow the reaction and coverage of the press and the politicians to Hurricane Florence and compare it with that of Hurricane Katrina.
New Orleans is “Chocolate City” -Mayor Nagan’s Words, and heavily Democrat.
NC and SC coastal areas are golf clubs and republican white bread. OF course, the press wont give a whit about the inland rural poor in the low-country/piedmont as they are conservative (black and white).

Hiya Guys and Gals.
Great news from Down Under.
Grandson born this morning via emergence C-Section. Bonny little guy with blonde hair and big blue eyes. His mum had laboured marginally for 36 hours and nothing was happening and little Rohan was getting tired and distressed so the specialist decided that it was time to step in. Both the new Mum and her wee man are both well. Rohan took his first breath and then dozed off as he was tired. The new Dad is due around here for a late breakfast. Both he and his big brother, uncle Ben were chatting all night during proceedings. We are truly blessed. Aunty Bi-bi (going by her nickname given by Chloe #1 grandchild) will speak only Italian to Rohan so that he will be naturally bi-lingual as she did with Chloe. The Italian? She’s really good at it that’s all š
Great thanks and happiness in our whole family.

Trump is ‘complicit’.
Yet when it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humansā role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earthās systems to produce disasters.

wait. I’m confused. Didn’t somebody tell us that Jews control the weather? Some D.C. councilman or something?
I really wish they’d make up their minds. If I knew who really does control the weather, I’d never have another bad hair day.

Beware of PBTech stores worldwide. They are Chinese tech sales and distribute tech enabled Chinese government surveillance cameras that down road to embedded online Chinese spy agencies.

Nah…. just me being paranoid, move on, nothing to see here.
… Another field in which a Chinese company is a global leader is consumer camera drones ā the camera-toting quadcopters that have become increasingly ubiquitous.
More than two out of every three consumer drones sold this year was made by Da-Jing Innovations, better known in the West as DJI.
The company’s drones were increasingly being used by military and police forces around the world until August last year, when the US Army banned them due to “increased awareness of cyber vulnerabilities”.
In the months leading up to the US ban there was reporting by security researchers that DJI was collecting audio, visual and telemetry data on every flight of every single one of their drones, and the potential for the Chinese Government to leverage that collection was significant.
The Australian military responded to the US action within days, banning the drones.
“There were some concerns regarding the cyber security characteristics of the device,” the deputy chief of information warfare, Major General Marcus Thompson, told a Senate hearing in October.
The Australian military ban was lifted two weeks later following the introduction of “revised operating procedures”.
Defence declined to describe those new procedures to the ABC.
At the time of last year’s ban there were about 40 DJI drones reportedly in use by the Australian military.

One of my best friends got involved via the internet with a woman from the mainland who said she owned her own company and she was going to come visit him.
If you knew him and his family connections, you’d understand why I pitched a screaming FIT. I’ll just say that his sister still works for the CIA and they are of Japanese ethnicity. My friend is the most politically naive person you will ever meet and he didn’t believe me. It took his sister to tell him “Not a good idea, Sparky” to put the kabosh on that.
As much as I admire a great deal about their culture, I don’t trust those people as far as I can spit. They ARE the enemy. I’d trust an individual Russian before I would a Chinese.
So if I get, I don’t know why our so-called ‘intelligence’ doesn’t.

ALWAY and eventually the Chinese will turn ANY association into a spying operation and an IP theft opportunity for themselves. Such is the reach of the Chinese security services operating as they do in a State tyranny where the rules are what they say they are!

Nagan was such a f*cking incompetent turd, but New Orleans was always a criminal, corrupt shit hole. Remember all those cops (IIRC about 180) who didn’t show up to work during Katrina— just to find out they didn’t exist, but their paychecks were cashed none-the-less. Yeah.
I never heard much regarding what happened to residents during the hurricane and the aftermath– was it a rapefest hell hole at the stadium as claimed or was it pretty tame? Never got the verdict on that.
well since this is trumps hurricane, I am so glad he is dialing it back
Florenceās nighttime winds were down to 110 mph (175 kph) from a high of 140 mph (225 kph), and the Category 3 storm fell to a Category 2, with a further slow weakening expected as the storm nears the coast. But authorities warned it will still be an extremely dangerous hurricane.

Already the Chinese tyrants of the CCP can track watch cross reference biodata files and allocate a citizen’s ‘reliability score’ in real time, as that unaware citizen walks down a street in Shanghai or any Chinese city.
This no less than Google creating the IT tools of George Orwell’s fictional book 1984, that in 2018 has become all too real.
Google is a socialist supporter of a Chinese fascist version of socialism with a blend of quasi liberal economic opportunities for the party compliant combined with the iron hand of communist dictatorship complete with slave labour camps (are you listening Nike) and massed murder.
Behind the smiling face and propeller head hats, Google is a powerful powerful monopolistic tyranny that is challenging liberal democracy everywhere through the capture of information flows.

At the same time, the data underscores the lasting damage that the Great Recession did to the majority of American families. U.S. households are still earning essentially the same that they did in 2007 just before the Great Recession. And their inflation-adjusted median income remains slightly below the record in 1999 of $62,000, the Census Bureau said.

Secretary Pompeo should advise him that his U.S. Passport is revoked and DOJ should immediately begin an investigation into his violations of the Logan Act.

Let me look her up. Gloria Allred, of course, was disgraced over her representation of that woman in Alabama, who’s claims about the “diner” were very sketchy and Allred refused to turn over documents prior to the election for review by the press. I imagine they’re looking for a new hero to parade so-called victims around in the final hours.
Why does she need representation? Statute of limitations has run out. Apparently the letter has been turned over to the White House. Feinstein needs to explain why she has been holding on to this information since JULY and why she has never shared with committee.
Also, Kavanaugh has a right in any circumstance to face his accuser. Her grandstanding is deplorable and I see this completely blowing up in her face. Supposedly the FBI said “pffft” and gave the letter to the White House, who I hope leaks it. They don’t owe the letter writer ANY confidentiality.
Katz pretty much seems to represent whistle-blowers. It may be that she agreed to represent her simply because she wanted to have a lawyer in the DC area in case she was called to testify. Katz doesn’t appear to be anything special, but I’m sure the media will inflate her C.V. and bona fides to make her appear the most powerful woman lawyer on the Eastern Seaboard and is here to protect this client from getting the “Anita Hill” treatment.
@ The Barbarian:
Someone has already edited Wikipedia to show her as taking on “Brett Kavanaugh”
This is all so American, Kavanagh cannot even confront his accuser. The woman chooses to remain anonymous, and
what exactly is the accusation. Finestein allegedly had the letter since July and. drops it now?
Just vote and confirm him next week.
@ The Barbarian:
thanks for the research, much appreciated. The blurb about Katz being a #metoo rep came from a Daily Mail article, I don’t know where they got it from.
The timeline as suggested by your new info looks like:
1. anon. allegation in letter to DiFi
2. DiFi gives letter to FBI
3. FBI investigates, finds nada, gives to WH.
If DiFi has had this letter and the FBI and WH have had this letter, why hasn’t Grassley seen it? If the WH has it and Grassley doesn’t, has Kavanaugh seen it?
Why is DiFi spewing this now if it’s already been put to rest?
I is confoozed.

Feinstein got the letter from Anna Eschoo, a Congress Critter and Pelosi confidant. IN JULY. At no time did she question Kavanaugh about it or ask that the FBI make it part of the vetting process.
My guess? The girl is going to say she didn’t consent to having sex with Kavanaugh when they were both in high school, essentially trying to imply that he “raped” her. Because teenagers just having consensual sex in high school has been around since….well, forever.

His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: “Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.”
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
“First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:
If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, “that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you” and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true…Thus, hell is exothermic.”
@ Aussie Infidel:
You are correct about the Socialist madness of Google. I’ve watched the former CEO Eric Schmidt on TV and he makes my flesh crawl. The slogan should have gone from “Don’t Be Evil” to “Don’t Be Evil. We’ll Do it For You.”
Too much perverted scandal has surfaced about Schmidt that he has dissociated himself by first forming ‘Alphabet’ and then keeping his name out of the media. Taking bets that he sleeps in a crypt.
We have got to get out of this neighborhood. What sounded like half a dozen or so shots fired about an hour ago, right behind us. Called the cops but didnāt want a follow up just in case someone is watching.

So she remembers this incident from what – 25 years ago and that it was Brett Kavanaugh? Sounds to me it’s one of those pussy hat wearing looney birds that thought making this allegation would derail him by insinuation. Supposedly the woman was found by another news source and refuses to talk about it. Sorry, but if the bitch won’t go on the record, smarmy Feinstein had no business bringing it up.

@ eaglesoars:
And Feinstein didn’t think this was important enough to pursue in JULY when she first received notice of this? And it apparently never showed up on any of the three FBI background checks done on this man?
This is now the Democrat playbook. Bring forward a sex allegation at the last minute.
And sorry, but this bitch needs to be dragged into the sunlight. You don’t get to make this sort of allegation against someone and then go “I don’t want to to discuss it.”
Did she report this to her parents or tell the police?
The Barbarian wrote:
yep
A couple things about this:
Feinstein’s people took this to Ronan Farrow to give it the weight of the Weinstein bombshell. Nothing against Farrow, he earned his bones.
The person other than Kavanaugh who was said to be involved says he has no recollection of the incident.
Kavanaugh denies it
And the bitch is insisting she doesn’t want to be named

@ The Barbarian:
Lemme see here, Kavanaugh is at a party with girls from a nearby school. He went to a boys Catholic high school, and I am betting that hers was a Catholic high school. The scenario is very familiar to me and none of us would have had the nerve, we were far too awkward around girls. I don’t buy it.

No it doesn’t. If this salacious smear had been made against, say, Corey Booker, CNN would have already got her name, DOXED the lady, and shown up on her front door, asking her how she could make such a claim against Spartacus.

I don’t know why I am getting so bent out of shape over this maneuver by Feinstein. Maybe it’s my sense of right and wrong. This is effing outrageous on her part – a blind, disgusting accusation that apparently should be given full credence. She held on to that for six weeks and never mentioned it. Her excuse? Oh, I promised her “anonymity” and “confidentiality” – since when you allow an accusation of this sort to be made against someone and not give them the chance to face their accuser?
What bothers me most is that she’ll get away with it, and the voters of California will probably return her demented ass to the Senate in November. Where she’ll lie in wait for the next Supreme Court nominee to emerge so she can destroy him on a national audience.
When Judge Alito was nominated by George Bush, one of the partners at my firm was very excited because he had clerked for Judge Alito. He became so incensed and angry at the behavior of the Democrats during the confirmation hearing – he felt I was the only one he could turn to to express his anger. I looked at him and said “don’t you know, Jim? If you’re conservative it’s open season.”
I hope Breitbart, or Gateway Pundit or someone gets the identity of this woman and plasters it all over the internet.

Bill Kristol building ‘war machine’ to challenge Trump in 2020 primary
Kristol told the network that he’s preparing “for a primary run against Trump,” adding that Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) is on his shortlist of possible candidates.
Kasich was unsuccessful in his 2016 bid for the Republican presidential nomination, only managing to beat Trump in his home state.
Kristol also said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) are also being considered.
Kasich and Flake and ‘war machine’. I dunno, it’s missing a beat somewhere

@ eaglesoars:

Kristol is effing demented. I’ll never forgive him for foisting the Tasty Breakfast Sandwich.

Are you KIDDING??!! That’s the best thing Kristol has ever done! He totally destroyed his own credibility all by his lonesome in one fell swoop. His worst enemy couldn’t have done it.

@ yenta-fada:
Thanks, Yenta.
I didn’t have the privilege of meeting her until she was three. My wife went through the divorce of her first husband with her, and in many ways Bailey helped her through. Her ex came to her parents where she was staying, wanting to “share custody” with the dog. Her Dad, an ordained minister and Salvation Army officer now retired told him point blank that he should have thought about that before he f*cked around on his daughter.
So despite all our time together, she was still more my wife’s dog than mine.
I was getting worried that I was going to have to override her on the whole “it’s time” thing, but she came to it on her own at the right time. She had never had to make a decision like that before, and it sounds stupid but I’m proud of her.
Bailey may have been lucky, but we were luckier.

It was most probably a brain tumor. It was clear it wasn’t an ear (or any other kind of) infection, or any other kind of condition that was treatable with any efficacy.
The vet suggested a pet neurologist about a month and a half ago, and I had ANOTHER very hard conversation with my wife about what exactly that would entail with a 15 year old dog coupled with a history of increased seizure activity and vestibular syndrome . Pretty much three grand to image and tell us what we already pretty much knew.
We opted to take her home and manage her care.
I KNOW I made the right call there, but my grief is second guessing it today.
(I have many anecdotal stories of people giving older dogs radical treatments, and I don’t feel it’s fair to the animal in many cases. Like you said, the animal doesn’t know why you’re putting it through terrible things like radiation or dialysis, and it has no consent. Not to mention the debt. I’ve heard horror stories.)

The one blessing was that she wasn’t in any physical pain, but her fear and confusion was evident in her last two days. Up until then, she could still get to her dishes to eat and drink (with a little difficulty) when she wanted. Two days ago I had to bring her water to her because she couldn’t steady herself enough in front of her dish to get a drink. That was my line.
This is the first time I’ve really had to deal with neurological issues with a pet, and in a way it made it difficult because all of her other physical systems were working fine. She ate, she drank, she peed, she pooped normal. She just couldn’t get around. The way she was moving, had she been a larger dog, I think the decision would have been made earlier. Not regretting, just noting.
While I’m here, I’d like to note that I’ve been trying to get a NeverTrump perspective by listening to Ben Shapiro’s podcast, given that he’s stated he’s going to give Trump a fair shake and only “call balls and strikes.”
He’s a piece of garbage that is only going smell worse as time goes on. He hates Trump even more than any NeverTrump guest he interviews. He DRIPS with elitist hypocrisy, and is spiraling.
Klavan and Knowles podcasts are both excellent, but I can’t help but think there will be a purge coming at the Daily Wire. (When’s the last time I saw a Salena Zito piece there?)
Digenova on Ingraham Angle announced a Grand Jury is underway, testimony is being given about McCabe, Strzok, Page and others, and the reason why we know is because James Baker, former general counsel of the FBI, has turned state’s evidence and is fully cooperating with the Inspector General and with the Federal Grand Jury.
