Diary of Daedelus has an ‘expired domain’ notification. This should auto renew, our hosting service says it is already taken ( i assume by us) and cannot be renewed/purchased. I have no control over DoD, that was all Rodan and crew. I don’t even think that I have administrative access. If anyone has any ideas, lemme know! WHOIS sends me to a site, when I log in, it sends me to GoDaddy. That is fine as we use them. I’m working on it

I’ve seen claims that Flynn supposedly admitted to doing something illegal, that basically came down to treason. What are they talking about?
@ right_wing2:
The MSM is working feverishly to go with the “he admitted he lied to the FBI” which is illegal. They conveniently ignore the fact that Weissman et al. pressured him to plead or they’d go after his son. And Weissman has no problem suborning perjury or making up crimes to go after people.
Obama was, by all accounts, almost hysterical and adamant that Flynn be taken down. He went so far as to tell the Trump team that Flynn was a bad guy and they shouldn’t hire him. I’d be VERY interested to hear what Flynn has to say when this is all over. We know that Manafort and Stone have both stated that Weissman wanted them to lie about President Trump and threatened the prosecutions if they didn’t. Same with Flynn no doubt, but it was Obama that really wanted him neutralized.

They’re talking about the lie he supposedly told and I’ve never figured out what it is he’s supposed to have said. Trump and Pence both said Pence fired him because he lied but never told what the lie was. I’ve asked around and NOBODY can tell me what it was.
But the DOJ’s motion to dismiss said nothing Flynn said, truthful or otherwise, was germaine to any investigation and the only reason for the investigation was to entrap him. I copied the relevant text on the downstairs thread.
Yet all the FBI agents who interviewed him said they thought he was being truthful. The Logan Act they were going to spike him with was about the Kislyak call, that didn’t stick. Supposedly, there was also some FARA violation (Lobbying for a foreign gov’t) that I assume had something to do with Turkey because he had started a lobbying group and Erdogan’s gov’t was a client (He wrote an article in the Hill that really upset me). But he was apparently cleared on that.
So I have zero idea.

I have a legal question. Don’t know if you’ve had time to read or read about the testimony of our betters, e.g., Clapper, Fargus, et. al., but they all testified under oath that they had seen no evidence of collusion . Then they all went on TV and said Trump was colluding with the Russians. When they knew it was a lie.
So. No Sullivan protection from defamation, is there? Theoretically, Trump could sue for defamation/slander?
@ coldwarrior:
There’s a lot of good stuff in those archives, and the place gets a surprising amount of traffic – not a lot, but a few hundred hits a day – not bad considering it’s updated weekly at best.
See if you can get hold of Rodan. All I need is the email from WP and I’ll pay it.
@ eaglesoars:
Theoretically he can sue for slander. And Sullivan protections don’t apply if the individual making the utterance KNOWS that what they are saying is false and that it is said with malice.
I hope Trump does sue, because it’s time for Sullivan to go the way of the Plessy decision. Sullivan essentially created a class of persons for whom the usual protections against libel and slander do not apply, in effect denying them the same due process rights enjoyed by the average person.
And I hope Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood join forces to bring it.

Due to fears over continued spread of the novel coronavirus, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday the entire state will be asked to vote by mail in November.
The governor signed an executive order that will ensure every registered vote in the state is sent an absentee ballot prior to election day, and those who choose to vote in person will have to comply with strict physical distancing measures at polling sites
I’m sure this will be just fine

There is no reason to believe that California cannot get back to normal before November. For instance, in the nine Bay Area Counties, with 7.6 million citizens, 3 major airports that had dozens of flights from China every day from November to January, a sizeable Chinese population traveling constantly to/from China (not to mention workers in Silicon Valley), hundreds of thousands of people packed in BART trains and buses in the morning commute every day right up until March 17th, it’s interesting to note that there are less than 10,000 reported cases and less than 400 deaths.

The thing that upsets me the most looking at the criminal behavior from the top down in the Obama administration is that these assholes will NEVER pay for what they did.
They won’t plea out. Because they know they’ll be tried in a D.C. courtroom with a D.C. jury that is more than likely to be composed of a majority of Trump hating Democrats, who will be more than happy to acquit them or at least be a hung jury so they never do a day’s time for what they’ve done.

Here are just a few of the free parameters you can fiddle with in order to “make up” a result which suits your narrative. Remember there are……450 such cogs and switches to fiddle with.
All in all, this is not a clear, transparent model, based on firm ground truth data. Its a fairly arbitrary Heath Robinson machine, which over counts infections on a consistent basis.

‘proportion of places remaining open after closure by place type’ is one example and everyone who has reviewed the code notes that ‘hotel’ is never used.
If you read the entire link, you will see she equates the code to a “Heath Robinson machine”. That is a Brit term, in this context she means a Rube Goldberg machine.

ok, now I understand the “Flynn lie” thing. The ‘lie’ is that Flynn denied talking to Kislyak or denied talking to him about a specific subject (sanctions, maybe?).
That is based on an altered 302 that represents Flynn as saying he never talked to Kislyak about it.
A draft 302 – closer to the original – says that Flynn said he may have talked to Kislyak about it but if he did, he doesn’t remember it.
So the “Flynn lied” trope is based on a falsified 302, which apparently says he never talked to Kislyak about it.
That Flynn would lie about THAT never made sense to me because even I know those calls are recorded.
Brilliant.

Pennsylvania begins rebellion
A small but growing number of county officials are challenging Gov. Tom Wolf’s control of the state’s staged, regional reopening from the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, with majority commissioners in two midstate counties unilaterally declaring Friday that they will consider their counties in the “yellow” phase of the state’s reopening plan effective May 15.
Letters from a group of Lebanon County officials and Dauphin County Commissioner Jeff Haste echoed a similar protest from Beaver County, the only county in western Pennsylvania to be excluded from Wolf’s announced extension of first-phase reopening steps in southwestern Pennsylvania next Friday.
In addition, sheriffs in Perry and Cumberland posted Facebook notices stating that they would not be a part of enforcing business shutdown orders.

News from Kuwait
As I’ve mentioned, my husband is a contractor working in Kuwait. Covid cases were low until they repatriated expat Kuwaitis. Instead of quarantining them in restricted areas, they were allowed to go back home. They have no concept of personal space so the outcome was inevitable.
Beginning Sunday it’s a 24/7 until lockdown For three weeks, including food delivery. Kuwait has every American chain restaurant known to man which is what my husband mostly eats so we’ve spent the last hour trying to come up with meals he can prepare himself. Luckily he has several containers of frozen chicken and noodles and beef and noodles he made. He’s making beans right now with black market bacon and ham hocks that should last quite awhile. I told him to order some take out meals from cheese cake factory and other places and freeze them. order a couple of pizzas. The grocery store is a nightmare on good days, so he’s going to have to suck it up and go spend five hours trying to get enough stuff to last three weeks. What a mess.

In other words: If you can articulate conventional wisdom, and if you can go along with conformity, then everything is fine. You are that good person. “You are ratified. You can do anything you wish. It doesn’t matter in the slightest what” your ideas actually would accomplish, because it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that you have acknowledged that you care, and you are superior because of it.

I have noticed an appreciable increase in passengers on the BART trains in the morning. BART starting running trains every half hour on each of the lines starting around April 1st, because they were getting only 7% of normal ridership. Now there’s probably 50, so they may need to start running trains every 20 minutes to keep social distancing. They started requiring masks about two weeks ago, which I imagine is a prelude for opening up, where they will require everyone to wear one in the stations and on the trains.
They also suddenly started requiring masks in stores and public buildings. Not at the start of quarantine; 40 days into it.

“Devin Nunes is a patriot. And I’m glad you went through Trey Gowdy’s exquisite questions in 2017 to these corrupt officials. I guess my questions Sean would be why was it then in late May in 2018 that Trey Gowdy went on Martha MacCallum’s show and said the FBI did exactly as all of our fellow Americans would have wanted them to do and that it had nothing to do with Donald Trump. Both of those things have now been proven to be untrue and it seems that Gowdy’s brilliant lawyering back in 2017 that we’re only able to see now proves those statements untrue. The number one question I get asked from Americans is why no one has gone to jail and is held accountable. Unfortunately, when Nunes and Meadows and Jordan and I wanted subpoena power it was Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy that wouldn’t give us that subpoena power. Democrats sent out hundreds of subpoenas. When we had control and could have run this to ground in 2017 we didn’t send out a single subpoena. Not one. And that’s a failure of our Republican leadership.”

She has amazing gall. Fraud seems to be her specialty. The reason they say she married her brother is to emigrate to the US they posed as members of the Omar clan. They’re actually Elmis and the father was propagandist to the murderous communist dictator. Why they had to flee. Her second marriage was to a British guy, also Somalian refugee with the same last name. In photos he’s clearly gay and resembles rep. Omar. The ceremony was quiet. He attended college and then back to Britain. She divorced him. Remarried her original Muslim husband until recently. In Aug last year she was denying sneaking around with Tim Mynett, a campaign vendor who she diverted some $400,000 to for campaign “services”. By October announced her divorce to the Hirsi dude after being caught by him with Mynett. Now she’s married to Mynett (who dumped his wife for her) and the benefactee of her campaign’s business. How convenient. Now she’s soliciting donation money on someone else’s behalf which no doubt would have disappeared into her coffers. She operates right out in the open because the NY Times and the WaPo and “fact checkers” all proclaim there’s no evidence of any of this. When Trump points out this common knowledge they proclaim Trump the liar and conspiracy theorist. Rinse, repeat, etc.. And Google has promoted the whitewash articles and suppresses the articles with the truth. There are still PLENTY of articles proclaiming her an American immigrant success story and champion of righteousness, freedom and hard work.

Matt Gaetz said that on Hannity last night. He was on the next segment after Gowdy spoke his usual fiery rhetoric to Hannity. Like Graham, what he says doesn’t match his endless excuses for inaction and “letting the process play out” or whatever. They (Ryan and Gowdy) clearly didn’t mind giving up the House and letting President Trump twist in the ill wind of bogus Russian accusations and then bogus impeachment for years. Ryan clearly just hated Trump because the latter was not immediately impressed with him. Gowdy may really think giving up the House was a way to give balance and let the Dems get it out of their system. If so, that’s awfully naive.

Well here in Harris County Texas ( a.k.a Houston ) wearing of masks in stores is mandatory and after a visit to Walmart I noticed a very strange event.
Most of the people not wearing masks were of one race, a few people of another race were without masks and I did not see a single unmasked pink person.
Now, although wearing masks in stores is mandated it is not enforced by the police. If it were enforced strictly in that particular Walmart you would observe there would be a very large bias towards ticketing people of colour/minorities. Basically because the people breaking the rules are of colour or Hispanic.
Most of the unmasked people were male or female young adults. Again an indicator of who in the population tends not to care about authority or others.
So I call bullshit on inflammatory articles such as the one linked. There is not a disproportionate percentage of black and hispanic people being ticketed as compared to white people.
There is a disproportionate percentage of black and hispanic people breaking the rules.

The UFOs or UAPs are similarly a settled matter for Reid, who has been working on this subject under the covers for decades. He told Motherboard that the number of credible people who have reported such encounters is not in the tens or the hundreds. It’s in the thousands. He also became one of the few elected public officials I’ve heard admitting that one of our nuclear missile sites in the Dakotas was effectively shut down when “something” was hovering over it. Reid further gave a nod to the accuracy of reports stating that communications systems among our carrier groups in the Pacific have similarly been temporarily lost when the Tic Tacs were in the vicinity.

Current trend here is small cats think it is cool to ambush the big cats and try to take them down like a lion takes down an antelope.
So far the big cats ( and one of them is big ) have been quite nice about it. But I have a feeling it will not last much longer.
Boris Stroganoff and Princess Natasha Katinski have done an awesome job helping me raise Glenn and Georgie from being two days old and helpless but…
Now comes the time where the small cats have to realise they are now regarded as just cats and they will have to respect their elders.
Experiencing the transition from kitten to cat is fascinating to watch 24/7
Now the bad news. Boris is FIV positive. Transferred by bites, but not sharing water dish, food dish or litter box.
Got to let kittens go before they are big enough to get into a cat fight with Boris. Even the best of friend cats occasionally get into a fight.

You think I’m kidding. I posted a link the other day about the manufactuers of ankle bracelets saying they had rec’d queries from gov’ts asking about how their tech could be modified.
Contact trace me yesterday for example.
I went to a Foodarama store. Used a basket, bought meat and cat treats and a bottle of wine. Wore a mask as is required by Harris county judge Lina Hidalgo.
So, how many people did I “contact” ?
I was there and I could not tell you how many people I was near and their names and addresses.
Only record there is of me being in that store was the fact I paid by credit card. So OK, I admit that it is legitimate I had some type of contact with anyone that paid electronically say 30 minutes after I left.
Or someone that left the store 15 minutes before I checked out.
That sound reasonable? It does to me. It identifies who I may have been in contact with. Great!
Oh…. did anyone pay cash?
Oooops.. so using credit card data is not 100% reliable as I at first assumed.
So, point is. Take a one hour time window at that store and try to discover who was in contact with who and you have close to fuck all chance of doing it.
Now try contact tracing the nearly 5 million of us in Houston.
However if COVID-19 was sexually transmitted then contact tracing would be useful in identifying persons at risk.
But it was not done with HIV because it was a violation of something to do with civil liberties, the constitution or unicorns.
@ eaglesoars:
I agree a sexually transmitted virus could be ” knocked down ” via contact tracing but that is not acceptable, a violation.
An airborne virus and the state demands to know where we went, who we breathed near and what we touched.

Where I lived the first 11 years of my life in Centerville, OH we lived on a semi-rural road (Clyo road). In the fields around our house lived ground hogs. There was one incident where a ground hog had gotten overly agressive in guarding it’s hole and my dad felt it was a danger to we kids and our animals (a dog and cats). So he went out and dispatched it with his service pistol. He wasn’t an outdoorsy guy but had hunted with his father and uncle in his teens. So he dressed it and cut it up and put it in the freezer. My mom made a stew with it. Pretty good! Another time one of the ground hogs got hit by a car (why I mentioned the road). My dad examined the still warm body and determined it was a head shot and the meat was fine. They tend to stand up on back legs to see what’s going on so I’m guessing it stood up to peer at the car bearing down on it. Same routine. I think I recall my mom frying some in a skillet like chicken. And that was pretty good too. Free delicious meat.

“Lord Of The Flies” is still a great book, though. So are “A Clockwork Orange” and “Heart Of Darkness.” Let’s not get all kumbaya, just because some young honkies managed to survive a shipwreck without eating each other.
quote of the mornimg
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis
Great quote! C.S. Lewis has a lot of great things to say, on a variety of topics.
“Of all the bad men, religious bad men are the worst.”
This is in line with something I’ve long noticed, which is that religion is generally good for good people. Unfortunately, it also attracts con artists and greedy lechers. Sanctimonious twits, too.

Real love fest going on there. Nobody brought up the fact that the request for dismissal stated the DOJ admitted it was an FBI entrapment scheme and that maybe it’s the FBI’s rep that is garbage

Obama pardons James Cartwright in leak case
President Obama on Tuesday pardoned retired Gen. James Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff accused of lying to the FBI about his conversations with reporters regarding U.S. efforts to cripple Iran’s nuclear program.
Cartwright pleaded guilty in October to one felony count of making false statements during the FBI’s investigation into leaks about the government’s role in a highly classified operation known as Operation Olympic Games.
The clandestine effort — untaken with Israel — deployed a computer virus known as Stuxnet that destroyed Iranian centrifuges used in creating nuclear fuel.
New York Times journalist David Sanger exposed the operation in 2012, sparking the federal investigation that led to Cartwright.
When the whole Russia hoax first started and I was researching everybody, I ran across this because…Cartwright is related to Peter Strzok via marriage.
Cartwright’s daughter, Mariana, is married to Peter’s brother, Mark.
So Obama’s concern-trolling about somebody ‘getting off’ for ‘perjury’ (which Flynn was never charged with, he wasn’t under oath) is bullshit. Cartwright actually leaked Stuxnet info to the media and Obama pardoned his ass.

Dozens feared dead as Iranian destroyer accidentally SINKS one of the country’s own warships after opening fire on it
According to local media, an Iranian battleship was accidentally hit by the destroyer during military exercises, causing it to sink.
ELINT News reported that the Iranian Jamaran frigate accidentally fired on the Konarak support ship with an anti-ship cruise missile during exercises.
‘The Jamaran is a Moudge-class frigate armed with 4 C-802 (Noor) anti-ship cruise missiles. This is likely what was launched,’ they wrote on Twitter.

@ eaglesoars:
WTF kind of ships were involved?
Just in that excerpt, they used the terms destroyer, battleship, frigate, and support ship (each of which is a different type of ship).
Who wrote this crap?

like that………
@ eaglesoars:
Iran doesn’t own any battleships. Neither does anyone else, these days.
Apparently, the Iranians refer to the Moudge-class ships as destroyers, but they’re actually classed as frigates. The Jamaran is one of two that are currently operational (there was a third, but it ran aground in 2018 and did so much damage to the hull that it will likely be scrapped). There are supposed to be about 4 more either planned or under construction. It’s a domestically-produced design.
Still no idea what the Jamaran sunk, though.
