      The SSM (Soviet-Style Media) is so relentless in its attacks of the people’s voted Prez that they neglect to say

      1. That a security clearance is maintained on a need-to-know basis only, and

      2. It’s the Prez’ prerogative as commander in chief.

      I wanted that said in bold letters on the record somewhere. So there it is.

        One of the massive problems of the Obama years,and still, is that too many people have security clearance.IMO any security clearance held should automatically terminate the minute they are off the federal payroll.Like the panelists mentioned,just like comissioned officers in the military,if they are needed later they can be called back.
        Another problem is the length of background checks.I was told recently the FBI background check to get a concealed carry permit is more rigorous than the one to get security clearance.

    Botched FGM in London:
    https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/08/17/3-year-old-emergency-surgery-botched-female-genital-mutilation-fgm-khans-london/
    and (same incident, original report)
    https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/girl-3-needed-emergency-surgery-after-fgm-in-london-a3914076.html
    My greatest sympathy for the little girl. However the parents should be … …

    But I wonder …
    It is reported in some circles that some 50% or more of British males were circumcised until 1948. Then the health services were nationalised by Labour (along with almost everything else) to form the NHS (our national religion it seems). Almost immediately they banned routine infant male circumcision as medically unnecessary, with GPs telling enquirers “We don’t do that any more”. And so it remained until the flood of botched private male circumcisions amongst the “Asian” muslim immigrants and consequent demand for free NHS emergency surgery became too great to manage. And so in “sensitive” areas male circumcision was and is offered by the NHS to parents of immigrant background male babies.

    The complete and utter cynic in me suggests that this case will be the opening salvo in a campaign to get the NHS similarly to offer FGM to the parents of immigrant (muslim) background female babies, regardless of the fact that it is illegal. It would be justified as a “harm reduction” measure, in the same way that in some areas druggies are offered a “safe place” to “shoot up” with NHS supplied clean needles despite the whole thing being illegal but equally unenforced by the police.

    I seriously hope I am wrong, but …

    Hey guys, I just nailed a troll with his own words on a thread about the Manafort trial.

    After I got there this troll was pumping for CNN to get the names and addresses of the jurors after the trial is over. After one comment to him he dove right into the ad hominems.

    Here was the nailing.

    You wrote “I agree that they should not face any retaliation after their verdict.”

    Yet informing the press that the names will be released after the verdict does precisely that.

    If the press has been given such information before it should stop. The jurors are NOT public figures. CNN would make them public figures. That alone is intimidation enough.

    If you really stand behind those words I quoted above, then you know this is not baseless when I call you insincere if you don’t acknowledge that threat to the juror’s privacy.

    I really wish that judges would stand by my interpretation of the limits on press freedoms, especially in these days of Maxine Waters spurring Antifa and that ilk to attack all opponents of the Left agenda.

    If you have a Disqus identity, I’d be honored if you added a thumbs up for me and a thumbs down (which don’t show numbers) for “Superba.”

            LOL. The troll is backpeddling to attack another statement of mine now that I nailed him. Denies the press is Left leaning. quoted me adding a [sic] for my choice of preposition and then went on to screw up a later sentence of his own twice in less than 6 words.

    It obviously wasn’t enough that the British Government betrayed the white population of Rhodesia. Now appeaser Theresa is supporting the “legal” “land reform” in South Africa, ie. the confiscation of white-owned land by the ANC government.

    “Theresa May is satisfied with having been told that “[the] process would be taken forward on a multi-party basis, through Parliament, and… within the bounds of the Constitution and carefully designed so as to avoid damaging food security or deterring investment”.”

    This “process” is the ANC government changing the Constitution so that they can legally seize property (this won’t stop at farms or land) from whites. May is being duplicitous, but that seems to be her nature.

    Ramaphosa, like Mugabe, is covering up his party’s failure to improve the lot of the black man by taking down the white man…….. just to get votes. Giving farms to ANC cronies has so far been a disaster as farm production and farm employment are down drastically. Apparently the first round of “land reform” resulted in more than 4 million tenant farm workers being expelled by their new black masters.

    “South Africa’s agricultural sector has been steadily in decline. Farms used to provide millions of jobs. Now they offer less than a million. Wheat planting has fallen to a third. Cotton to a tenth. A country that once exported wheat, is now importing millions of tons while its agriculture sector fails.”

    Found on Facebook. A long read but well worth it.

    To all the people who let this election break up families and friends let this sink in I think the last civil conversations we had occurred just days before November 8, 2016. You were supremely confident Hillary Clinton would win the presidential election; you voted for her with glee. As a lifelong Republican, I bit down hard and cast my vote for Donald Trump. Then the unimaginable happened. He won.
    And you lost your freaking minds.

    I knew you would take the loss hard—and personally—since all of you were super jacked-up to elect the first woman president. But I did not imagine you would become totally deranged, attacking anyone who voted for Trump or supported his presidency as a racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic Nazi-sympathizer.

    The weirdness started on social media late on Election Night, as it became clear Hillary was going to lose. A few of you actually admitted that you were cradling your sleeping children, weeping, wondering what to tell your kindergartner the next morning about Trump’s victory. It continued over the next several days. Some of you seriously expressed fear about modern-day concentration camps. Despite living a privileged lifestyle, you were suddenly a casualty of the white patriarchy. Your daughters were future victims; your sons were predators-in-waiting. You threatened to leave Facebook because you could no longer enjoy the family photos or vacation posts from people who, once friends, became Literal Hitlers to you on November 8 because they voted for Donald Trump.

    I admit I was a little hurt at first. The attacks against us Trump voters were so personal and so vicious that I did not think it could be sustained. I thought maybe you would regain your sanity after some turkey and egg nog.

    But you did not. You got worse. And I went from sad to angry to where I am today: Amused.
    As the whole charade you have been suckered into over the last 18 months starts to fall apart—that Trump would not survive his presidency; he would be betrayed by his own staff, family, and/or political party; he would destroy the Republican Party; he would be declared mentally ill and removed from office; he would be handcuffed and dragged out of the White House by Robert Mueller for “colluding” with Russia—let me remind you what complete fools you have made of yourselves. Not to mention how you’ve been fooled by the media, the Democratic Party, and your new heroes on the NeverTrump Right.

    On November 9, you awoke from a self-induced, eight-year-long political coma to find that White House press secretaries shade the truth and top presidential advisors run political cover for their boss. You were shocked to discover that presidents exaggerate, even lie, on occasion. You became interested for the first time about the travel accommodations, office expenses, and lobbyist pals of administration officials. You started counting how many rounds of golf the president played. You suddenly thought it was fine to mock the first lady now that she wasn’t Michelle Obama. Once you removed your pussy hat after attending the Women’s March, you made fun of Kellyanne Conway’s hair, Sarah Sanders’ weight, Melania Trump’s shoes, Hope Hicks’ death stare; you helped fuel a rumor started by a bottom-feeding author that U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley slept with Donald Trump. You thought it was A-OK that Betsy DeVos was nearly physically assaulted and routinely heckled. You glorified a woman who has sex on camera for a paycheck.

    You have learned all kinds of new things that those of us who didn’t willfully ignore politics for the past eight years already knew. For example, we already knew that illegal immigrants were being deported and families were being separated.

    Some of your behavior has been kinda cute. It was endearing to watch you become experts on the Logan Act, the Hatch Act, the Second Amendment, the 25th Amendment, and the Emoluments Clause. You developed a new crush on Mitt Romney after calling him a “sexist” for having “binders full of women.” You longed for a redux of the presidency of George W. Bush, a man you once wanted imprisoned for war crimes. Ditto for John McCain. You embraced people like Bill Kristol and David Frum without knowing anything about their histories of shotgunning the Iraq War.

    Classified emails shared by Hillary Clinton? Who cares! Devin Nunes wanting to declassify crucial information of the public interest? Traitor!
    But your newfound admiration and fealty to law enforcement really has been a fascinating transformation. Wasn’t it just last fall that I saw you loudly supporting professional athletes who were protesting police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem? Remember how you fanboyed a mediocre quarterback for wearing socks that depicted cops as pigs?

    But now you sound like paid spokesmen for the Fraternal Order of Police. You insist that any legitimate criticism of the misconduct and possibile criminality that occured at the Justice Department and FBI is an “attack on law enforcement.” While you once opposed the Patriot Act because it might have allowed the federal government to spy on terrorists who were using the local library to learn how to make suitcase bombs, you now fully support the unchecked power of a secret court to look into the phone calls, text messages and emails of an American citizen because he volunteered for the Trump campaign for a few months.
    Spying on terrorists, circa 2002: Bad. Spying on Carter Page, circa 2017: The highest form of patriotism.

    And that white, male patriarchy that you were convinced would strip away basic rights and silence any opposition after Trump won? That fear has apparently been washed away as you hang on every word uttered by James Comey, John Brennan, and James Clapper. This triumvirate is exhibit “A” of the old-boy network, and represents how the insularity, arrogance, and cover-your-tracks mentality of the white-male power structure still prevails. Yet, instead of rising up against it, you are buying their books, retweeting their Twitter rants and blasting anyone who dares to question their testicular authority. Your pussy hat must be very sad.

    But your daily meltdowns about Trump-Russia election collusion have been the most entertaining to observe. After Robert Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel, you were absolutely convinced it would result in Trump’s arrest and/or impeachment. Some of you insisted that Trump wouldn’t last beyond 2017. You quickly swallowed any chum tossed at you by the Trump-hating media on MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post about who was going down next, or who would flip on the president.

    For the past year, I have watched you obsess over a rotating cast of characters: Paul Manafort, Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner, Carter Page, Reince Priebus, Jeff Sessions, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Sam Nunberg, and Hope Hicks are just a few of the people you thought would turn on Trump or hasten his political demise. But when those fantasies didn’t come true, you turned to Michael Avenatti and Stormy Daniels for hope and inspiration. It will always be your low point.
    Well, I think it will be. Each time I believe you’ve hit bottom, you come up with a new baseline. Perhaps defending the unprecedented use of federal power to spy on political foes then lie about it will the next nail in your credibility coffin.

    The next several weeks will be tough for you. I think Americans will learn some very hard truths about what happened in the previous administration and how we purposely have been misled by powerful leaders and the news media. I wish I could see you as a victim here, but you are not. I know you are smart; you chose to support this insurgency with your eyes wide open.

    Now, I shall sit back and enjoy your pain.

      Growing up we had a neighbor who lived through Pearl Harbor.He was a civilian shipyard worker and was called in the morning of the attack while the attack was still in progress and stayed with the rescue effort for nearly a week after,then had the task of helping put the fleet back together.

      This man looked to be in his 50’s,but was infact 82 when we first met him.My mother asked him how me managed to look so young.He said “simple,don’t worry,just do.There are two kinds of things people worry about,things they can change and things they can’t change.You simply change the things you can and leave the rest to God because those are things outside of your control”

    It would appear that we are in the last days of Malcolm Turnbull as Chief Waffler – sorry, Prime Minister.
    Immigration Minister Peter Dutton launched an unsuccessful challenge earlier in the week, but the numbers were hardly in Turnbull’s favour. 48 to 35.
    This morning three senior ministers withdrew their support for the Waffler. Finance Minister Mathias Cormann was among them, and if Cormann has left the dark side it’s just time on for Malcolm from here.
    Dutton has shown some spine as Immigration Minister. If he took the wheel it would bring a lot of people back to the government. No surprise that all of a sudden questions are being asked about eligibility to sit in parliament. GetUp and the Greens despise him.
    But there are moments of comedy amid the drama. Opposition leader Bill Shorten said to the media that the Liberals look like ‘a family headed for divorce’. Not the best metaphor to throw at your opponents, Bill, considering that you walked out on your wife and kids to hook up with the former Governor General’s daughter.

          And whaddaya know, he just won it. The Australian reports that the scumbag Bishop was the voter’s choice, too, so she’s almost a certainty for deputy. Ugh.

            The West Australian supported Bishop too. Well, there is such a thing as home town loyalties – but giving Miss UN the nod stretches the issue too far. Calling her the voter’s choice is putting lipstick all over the pig.
            As for Morrison PM, just call him Mini-Mal.
            I thought highly of him as Immigration Minister. He was very effective in stopping the boats. But the change from Abbott to Turnbull showed the citizens a very different Scott Morrison. I don’t expect much to change for the better under our new PM.

    Mark Latham on today’s events in Canberra.

    THE MALCOLM MORRISON GOVERNMENT

    Malcolm Turnbull knifed Peter King to become the Member for Wentworth.
    He knifed Brendan Nelson to become Liberal Party Leader.
    He knifed Tony Abbott to become Prime Minister.
    To hear Turnbull in his final press conference complain about “insurgents, wreckers and vengeance” is the greatest hypocrisy you will ever hear.
    Turnbull in effect has handed over government to his right-hand-man, Scott Morrison, who as Treasurer only had one economic policy: massive immigration numbers, with their negative impact on urban congestion, housing affordability and wages growth.
    Like Turnbull, Morrison also knifed Tony Abbott to get ahead personally.
    This will be a Malcolm Morrison Government.
    Josh Frydenberg developed one of the worst energy policies imaginable and today the Liberal Party rewarded him by making him Deputy Leader.
    For the past three years the Liberals have been a public policy disaster for Australia.
    Today nothing changed.

        As you said earlier, this has a uniparty smell to it. The Lib leadership gets along far better with the other side of the aisle than they do with anyone who still holds principles.

        The word I used before GOPe became a better, more revealing word than RINO, was SKUNC: Statist Knowingly Undermining National Charters. An eraser of borders, constraints, and patriotic ideas; a vassal to foreign interests.

        It is a creature universal across the West. It pretends to be the in opposition to the Left, but its commitment to a nation’s principles is as a destroyer by actually pursuing the Globalist agenda with slightly less speed.

            There are several earmarks to tell us who they really are.
            1. The Prog slogan: “No enemies to the Left” as demonstrated when contrasting their frequently nasty comportment towards members of their own party (knifing as in the case of Turnbull et al.) versus their willingness to compromise with the opposition.
            2. Even within Labour there are tolerated elements so extreme that they complain that those slower to move Left may as well be Liberals. So there, even when ministers are receiving heat to move right from their supporters back home, its members are feeling constant pressure to move Left. (Although there are counterpart pressures to move right within the Liberal party, such pressure is not tolerated there.) Again “no enemies to the Left” rules both parties.
            3. So, as long as members of both parties clearly abide by that rule, then the extreme Left will always be home to the agenda setters.
            4. From the earliest days of the Prog movement, it gave a special French label to the radicals: Avant-Garde. Yes, the term is usually reserved to the artsy types, but amongst Progs it was always a metaphor associated with those who forged new frontiers.

            And occasionally they admit to it:

            “Tuomas Nevanlinna looks at the Russian avant-garde movement under Stalin and demonstrates how surprisingly alike art and politics behaved in their relentless pursuit of destroying the ‘old world’.”

            Please remember that quote.

            As long as Westerners continue to tolerate parties run by those like Turnbull, they should expect nothing to change.

              Jordan Peterson just posted a link that exemplifies number 2 above:

              Left-wing liberals who are opposed to the identity politics developments on the left increasingly find ourselves accused of being right wing, referred to as “right wing” and scornfully urged to admit that we are right wing by identitarian lefties.

              While we here might find schadenfreude in “they’re eating their own,” it still serves the Prog agenda and not ours. What happens in the Right is that we tend to want to go back to what was once the status quo and are reluctant to challenge the one currently being dismantled by Leftward forces. In fact the GOPe is fond of saying “why you are just like them” when we challenge them.

              No, it is not sufficient to find satisfaction in the disarray shown by the Left. What is needed is wide recognition that the status quo will not stay where it is but will move further Left if we don’t eliminate the SKUNCs within. Admittedly solid revolt is not an easy thing to achieve amongst conservatives.

                Just so. Conservatives are hoist by their own virtues, in a sense.
                Liberty and individual responsibility mitigate against collective resistance and favour fragmentation.

      Love the thought KG. But not even hinted at in the link are at least two questions:

      1. To what extent will this have to wait until there is a visible and reliable Attorney General?
      2. And can that person get confirmed?

        One of the things that has characterised this DOJ under Sessions is the lack of leaks. Mostly, we do’t know what or who they are investigating. While it is frustrating for us to not know, that means those investigates don’t know either.

        Another advantage is that cases are not tried in the media and must rely on evidence presented before a Grand jury for an indictment.

        Trump did tweet yesterday telling Sessions to investigate all the corruption on the “other side” listing the suspects after Sessions said the DoJ was not going to be influenced by political pressure.

        Two damn good questions, Pascal.
        1. Then it will be a long wait.
        2. not a chance in hell, in my view.

        Not a chance in hell of that, either.

        You said above:

        Just so. Conservatives are hoist by their own petard, in a sense.

    So, John McCain has decided to discontinue treatment for his brain cancer. While I will not mourn his passing nor speak well of him afterward, I will not rejoice in consideration for his family. None of us is innocent to a level that would make such an act justifiable.
