@ eaglesoars:
This will be portrayed by the Dems and the Media as a Trump failure. If however Obama walked away it would just prove how principaled , nuanced and fabulous he is.

Libs celebrate what they see as a Trump failure in talks with the Norks.
They get chastised by Ted Lieu, if you can believe it. Credit where credit is due.

What’s going on in Canada? Trudeau in trouble.
India and Pakistan are at war?
Netanyahu indicted?
Even alternative news sites are overwhelmed with the Cohen Show and Trump leaving N.Korea.
I’m finding news in comment sections…
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
Some company that Trudeau likes ($$$) got on the wrong side of the law, so his attorney general brought charges. Trudeau asked her to drop the charges – apparently about 10 times – and she refused.
So he fired her.
Pakistan used proxy jihadis to attack India in a suicide bombing that killed 50 people and India just flat out went to war. There was nothing ‘proportional’ about it, they just rained hell from the air.
Israel has a rogue prosecutor trying to take Bibi down before the next election. I’m not saying Bibi is as pure as the driven snow – his wife, Sara, is probably a crook – but this one looks really political. Bribery? It’s ISRAEL, fer god’s sake, that’s what they do. They’ve got half of Hamas on the payroll
Go back to sleep
Oh GOOD!! Rush is talking about Mueller’s threat to Cohen’s wife. Now it will get out there.

Bit more involved then that. A little piece of law was hidden in an omnibus budget bill that would let SNC Lavalin skate on corruption charges (DAP or Deferred Action Plan I think). Which would let them continue to bid on Federal contracts. A lot of the charges were corruption charges relating to Libya and Khadaffi.
So since she was the Attorney General who thought (for a change) to follow the law (she’s on record saying that the law needed to change after a farmer was acquited for the death of an aboriginal on his property attempting to steal a vehicle). She named names in a hearing yesterday and stated how she was asked to let things go and not to worry about how the media would react.
So, yeah, nutshell.

Okay, adviser to Dalton McGuinty and admitted architect of Canada’s environmental initiatives. He left there and was president CEO of WWF Canada. Resigned about 2015 and ran Trudeaus election Campaign and was eventually one of his advisers in the prime ministers office. Oh, and he was a good friend and fellow classmate of Trudeau at McGill university.

He’s been the power behind the throne. Chief of staff type thing and mouthpiece of the PMO from things that have been said. He tendered his resignation on a stat holiday of all things a week and a half ago. He was supposedly one of the people pressuring the former Attorney General before she was removed.

The usual ‘script’ when NORKs deal with US Presidents is to lie about everything and double cross every agreement.
Not so this time. Trump and Pompeo had done their homework and verify and examine at every step was the plan. Kim was taken aback that ‘business as usual’ of screwing as much out of US Presidents and then backtracking on signed agreements didn’t work with Trump.
The next time or the next or the time after that we’ll see progress. In the meantime the NORKs are not threatening WWIII.

@ Aussie Infidel:
and they’ve stopped testing.
I saw a piece today that was inadvertently hilarious. It was meant to imply that somehow it has escaped the notice of the U.S. that the NORKS have satellites orbiting in a North-South orbit, making them invisible to our trackers and therefore a imminent threat for our nuclear destruction.
I mean, I can’t even….
We know everything that’s up there, fer crying out loud. We know every launch that leaves the planet and if we don’t know the payload when it goes up, we figure it out soon enough.
And if we wanted those things gone, they’d be stardust.

Up to 75% of Pakistani Muslims (the largest Muslim population in the UK) marry their first cousins, which means their offspring are ten times more likely to be mentally and/or physically challenged. All of which means British taxpayers are forced to pay for costly medical care for these people for the rest of their lives. A third of children who suffer from rare recessive disorders in the UK come from this community, which represents just 1.5% of the total population. In Bradford, where 75% of the Pakistani Muslim community marry a cousin, as many as 10 % of children suffer from genetic abnormalities.
@ PaladinPhil:
Much better summary than I could have done. I watched the whole afternoon of questioning. (mostly repetitive) My jaw dropped to See Jody Wilson Rayboult expertly eviscerate the corrupt worms who hassled & threatened her for 4 months. Then Trudope demoted her when nothing else worked. He was extremely condescending & boorish. This virtue signaling creep dissed the first female aboriginal attorney general in Canada. After his bs feminism & apology tour around Indian reserves. She was splendid.

Given that WaPo is the PR arm of the Dem party, I’m inclined to believe this.
House Democrats explode in recriminations as liberals lash out at moderates
House Democrats exploded in recriminations Thursday over moderates bucking the party, with liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatening to put those voting with Republicans âon a listâ for a primary challenge.
In a closed-door session, a frustrated Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lashed out at about two dozen moderates and pressured them to get on board. âWe are either a team or weâre not, and we have to make that decision,â Pelosi said, according to two people present but not authorized to discuss the remarks publicly.
But Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, upped the ante, admonishing the moderates and indicating she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election.
Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, said she told her colleagues that Democrats who side with Republicans âare putting themselves on a list.â
âShe said that when activists ask her why she had to vote for a gun safety bill that also further empowers an agency that forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs, theyâre going to want a list of names and sheâs going to give it to them,â Trent said, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
There’s a lot more at the link, specifically about a neat little procedural rule the Rs are using called ‘motion to recommit’.
Also, the article seems to show Pelosi siding with the barn burners, not the moderates. I don’t know what to make of that.

all part of the plan. run a bunch of dems who pretend to be moderate, let them vote a few times with the gop, then pretend to threaten them and then they fall back in line with the left.
there is no such thing as a moderate dem anymore. i’m not fooled by this posturing
@ coldwarrior:
no. I showed this to Hubby first thing this morning. He confirms. He’s hearing/seeing some disturbance in the force (altho he was not aware of the meeting described in the article). There are more than a few “…and the horse she rode in on” remarks flying around.
ABC just reported that Osama bin Laden’s son is married to Atta’s daughter.
Do these people know ANYTHING?? Atta never married nor did he spawn. Jeezus.
@ eaglesoars:
when these moderate dems keep voting with gop on some big items, i’ll believe that there is a real disturbance.

@ coldwarrior:
you will note who Pelosi is siding with. AOC and her ilk. That puts the people who are trying to represent their districts in quite a bind, as Pelosi can withhold assignments, etc. It’s not a linear situation.

SCOTUS just ruled that the World Bank has no immunity
The Supreme Court of the United States has rejected World Bank claims of complete legal immunity, ruling that one of its arms can be sued in relation to lending activities.
The 7-1 ruling could also open other American-based international organizations to the threat of lawsuits over financing overseas development.
For the World Bank, it means that it now faces having to defend against a suit by members of a fishing community in Mundra, India, who contend that their homes and livelihoods were damaged by pollution from a coal power plant that was financed by the bankâs private sector lending arm, the Washington, D.C.-based International Finance Corporation

Maybe I’ll do a series of posts on it.

Please do. Would like to get a perspective on putting together a long-range rifle
@ AZfederalist:
It’s not going to be a super high-end custom job or anything. I’m curious to see just what you can do with the new Savage 110 platform and decent off-the-shelf components. I’m going to take it apart and put everything back together to the proper torque settings, probably glass bed the Picatinny rail, install a set of matched Vortex scope rings, lap them (if necessary, which it’s not supposed to be according to them), and make sure everything is properly leveled. Then I’m going to break the barrel in properly.
After all that, it will be time to see what it can do.
@ lobo91:
I would find that informative. Understanding what can be done with an off-the shelf platform and off-the-shelf components.
I had put a Timney trigger on my first Ruger SR-556 and found that it made a world of difference in accuracy. Haven’t put it on the replacement SR-556 yet; this one seems to have a bit less “grit” in the stock trigger.

I need expert opinion. Mrs coldwarrior needs a simple purse revolver.
She’s too fumbly with her makarov (ppk). Sadly.
Ideas before I go buy. As I know nothing about the revolver market.
@ coldwarrior:
Hard to go wrong with an S&W J-Frame. Pretty much defines the category.
They do come in a variety of materials, though. Personally, I’d stick with the steel frame, particularly for full-power loads. They make them in an alloy frame, as well as scandium (very pricey), but the extra weight of the steel frame makes them easier to shoot.
https://www.range365.com/handgun-review-sw-j-frame
@ coldwarrior:
One that I don’t recommend is the Bodyguard line. I had several students bring them to class, and they all wanted to trade them in by the time we were done. One of S&W’s biggest mistakes, in my opinion.
lobo91 wrote:
that is what i was thinking
classic
@ coldwarrior:
About the only other suggestion I’d have is the Ruger LCR. Similar size and quality, might be a bit cheaper.
There’s also the Taurus 85, which is essentially a J-Frame clone. I’d recommend test-firing one (meaning that actual gun) before buying it, though. Their build quality can be variable. I’ve had one for years with no problems, but not everyone has had the same experience with them.
@ lobo91:
i have a taurus in .357 with a barrel that is too long for carry. the build is fine, i’ve put through a few hundred round with no prob. it sits in the concealed bedside table drawer

mine is an S&W .38/642 and it’s perfect. It IS heavy for something so small. One of the reasons I like it is because the hammer is hidden so it doesn’t catch on anything if you insist on putting it in a purse. You’d think it wouldn’t be all that accurate with a barrel so short, but you’d be wrong. Also easy to clean
