[Media Matters] MIKE HUCKABEE: A five-time loser who have been deported five times kept coming back, catch and release type program and he ends up murdering a young woman filled with promise and hope on the streets of one of our sanctuary cities. That ought to be enough to churn everybody's stomach. And I pray that Kate's Law gets passed. And let me just say this, if it does, this country will have Bill O'Reilly to thank for it because he was the one who kept giving voice to it when no one else was and when people were giving up on it. And I got to give him some credit for this. If it's signed, frankly the president ought to give him one of the pens that he signs it with because that's why we will have it.
[Gateway Pundit] The MSM’s credibility took another hit today, as the New York Times quietly issued a correction about their claims that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies agreed that the Russians ’hacked’ the 2016 presidential election. The REAL number is only 4 agencies held such views.
The New York Times has finally admitted that one of the favorite Russia-gate canards ‐ that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concurred on the assessment of Russian hacking of Democratic emails ‐ is false.
In the Times’ White House Memo of June 25, correspondent Maggie Haberman mocked Trump for "still refus[ing] to acknowledge a basic fact agreed upon by 17 American intelligence agencies that he now oversees: Russia orchestrated the attacks, and did it to help get him elected."On Thursday, the Times appended a correction to a June 25 article that had repeated the false claim, which has been used by Democrats and the mainstream media for months to brush aside any doubts about the foundation of the Russia-gate scandal and portray President Trump as delusional for doubting what all 17 intelligence agencies supposedly knew to be true.
However, on Thursday, the Times ‐ while leaving most of Haberman’s ridicule of Trump in place ‐ noted in a correction that the relevant intelligence "assessment was made by four intelligence agencies -- the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community."
The Times’ grudging correction was vindication for some Russia-gate skeptics who had questioned the claim of a full-scale intelligence assessment, which would usually take the form of a National Intelligence Estimate (or NIE), a product that seeks out the views of the entire Intelligence Community and includes dissents.
The reality of a more narrowly based Russia-gate assessment was admitted in May by President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan in sworn congressional testimony.
[NY Post] A Republican opposition researcher hunted for copies of missing emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server -- which he believed had been hacked -- before the 2016 election and implied to associates he was working with then Trump adviser Michael Flynn, according to a report. Mike Flynn standing behind A.J. at Smith's graveside service provides additional evidence of the linkage.
The Wall Street Journal said that GOP operative Peter W. Smith was scouring the world of hackers, including Russians, to get the Clinton emails, which the former Democratic presidential candidate said were deleted because they were personal.
Smith considered Flynn -- who was at the time an advisor to President Trump’s campaign -- an ally in his search, according to emails written by Smith and obtained by the Journal.
"He said, 'If it's the last thing I do....’I’m talking to Michael Flynn about this--if you find anything, can you let me know?’" Eric York, an Atlanta computer-security expert, told the paper.
The Journal cautioned that it was unclear what role Flynn might have played in Smith’s email hack hunt -- which turned up nothing. Flynn did not respond to the paper’s requests for comment

As we noted late last week, Benjamin Wittes, the Brookings Institution senior fellow and noted ally of former FBI Director James Comey, took to twitter to claim that another “bombshell” story, presumably related to the multiple investigations into whether the Trump camp colluded with the Russians, was in the works. However, unlike previous warnings from Wittes, this one contained a caveat: the “fuse” on the story is of an uncertain length, and that the next salvo could arrive as soon as Monday.

Has anyone ever explained exactly to what end said collusion was initiated?
I'm looking for something beyond the dictionary "do bad things" level of specificity.
Every political campaign in the world endeavors to secretly achieve the defeat of the opponent. So, again, colluding to beat Hillary ain't gonna cut it.
#5
Russian hackers talked about how to get the deleted Clinton emails and hand them over to Flynn though a third party.
This shouldn't have been too difficult if this occurred during the time Hillary's home-brew server was unsecured and had the welcome mat out to anyone.
#6
In the interview with the Journal, Mr. Smith said he and his colleagues found five groups of hackers who claimed to possess Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails, including two groups he determined were Russians.
Who were the three non-Russian groups who claimed to have had HRC's 33,000 deleted emails?
U.S. intelligence agencies have accused the Russians of stealing emails from the Democratic National Committee and Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, and providing them to WikiLeaks last summer as part of a multifaceted operation to interfere with the election and help Mr. Trump’s campaign.
Podesta, whose emails were password-protected by the password which was "Password."
If most of the intelligence agencies were loaded with deep-state people who supported Hillary, what interest would they have in an honest investigation of Hillary's illegal server and her emails? Moreover, these same people thought Hillary would be their boss beginning in 2017.

Geez, I got cornered at an embassy source during the Paris Air Show by a Soviet Colonel who wanted to talk cars and loose women...does that mean I colluded too?
I suppose that since I voted for DJT I should expect a call from Mr. Mueller.
#8
SPOD, you been talking to me in the 'burg for years. And my maternal grandfather not only been with the Red Army from 1918 (as a tailor), he once tailored a greatcoat for Leon Trotski.* If you're lucky, Mueller will send you a subpoena - instead of sending a SWAT team.
*Lived in fear until the day Stalin died - why not, people disappeared for less.
[PatriotRetort] Oh, brother. Has Chelsea never heard the old saying, "’Tis better to be thought a fool, than to tweet out 140 characters and remove all doubt."
I’m telling you, Chelsea’s twitter feed is the gift that keeps on giving.
So desperate is she to glom on to the Victim Group du Jour that Chelsea has to rewrite her own family history.
But there are some glaring problems with Chelsea’s moronic argument. Continues...

Who knows who her daddy is... Really. Bill never tagged her mom. There are rumors of some desperate dem party dude, and rumors of her paying for men. Any one of them could be her dad....

Every tweet can and will be used against her if she ever runs for office.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole "relationship" thing was cooked up by our legal betters (stop laughing!) and was *not* part of Trump's executive order.

"I had no idea Chelsea was Muslim"
Now, see, here and I thought that she was just a dipshit, but I guess she decided to go all in.
(They do need to give her her paper bag back, though... you know, over the head.)

[Victory Girls] I’m not a big movie fan. Typically summer blockbusters come and go, and my reaction is "meh."
However, there’s a movie coming out in July that I want to see, especially since I’m fascinated by World War II history. Besides, it’s British history, and I’m a sucker for British epics (Lawrence of Arabia, anyone?)

If the focus is "too white", the SJMs are missing the point of this historic evacuation of those who would later free Europe and the world of the yoke of fascism.
#2
I never thought of myself as sexist because I didn't want to see Fried Green Tomatoes or racist because I didn't want to see Straight out of Compton. There's no need to be racist or sexist about it. If you're not interested in a movie, don't go to see it.
IMHO, regardless of race or gender, Hollywood produces a helluva lotta schlock these days but they've finally made a movie I want to see.
I can't wait to see Dunkirk.

Think of it as a study in white privilege SJWs; help ya get started 'White people get free cruises in yet another study of hyper-masculinity and gun culture'.
[Medusa Magazine] In a progressive society, it is often white families that stand in the way of equality and justice. Systemic white supremacy depends, first and foremost, on the white family unit. When white conquerors forcefully penetrated the indigenous, egalitarian homeland of the Native peoples of America, they were quick to replicate their white societies, initiating their parasitism by establishing white plantations, headed by white fathers, submissive white mothers, and, most critically, white children, with full dominion over the enslaved and oppressed people of color that were forced to uphold these micro-fiefdoms.
It is no surprise, then, that America’s fascination with the white family unit has gone hand-in-hand with the historical proliferation of white supremacy. After Bacon’s Rebellion, white micro-fieftans thought it necessary to expand the definition of white family to encompass the entirety of white society, so as to coerce the working class to fight amongst itself based on racial lines. Whites are embedded from birth with the sense of common white identity, and this identity conditions them to replicate the white family unit, thus furthering the cycle of white supremacy in America. That is why the white family unit must be destroyed.
In 1973, the Supreme Court, consisting entirely of men, eight of whom were white, ruled that the termination of pregnancy was constitutional up until the third trimester. For decades, progressives have championed this decision as a victory for the cause of women’s rights. However, it is time we challenge this problematic notion.
First of all, it is critical to understand that the appeal to abortions being "Constitutional" reinforces white supremacy. There is no way around it. The Constitution was drafted and signed by white men, for white men. Slavery was Constitutional. The "right" to terrorize citizens through the bearing of arms is Constitutional. So-called "due process," in which white juries condone the murder of innocent black men, is a Constitutional process. Being Constitutional does not make something progressive or innately valuable. In fact, Constitutionality is often synonymous with "exclusively beneficial to the white race."

white supremacy - new code word for classical democracy. Not to be confused with "the People's Democratic Republic of.."
Remember this is the Left who in the 60s and 70s demanded Black Majority Rule in South Africa. What's wrong with the same principle applied to America? /rhet question
[US Naval Institute] It is a big ocean. Until you have been far into it, it is really hard to appreciate just how big. Bringing a ship back from Japan to Hawaii, I once went ten days without seeing another ship, either by eye or radar. That is a long time to be alone in the world, especially if you are moving in a straight line and at good speed.
On the other hand, you would be surprised at how crowded the ocean can get in certain places. The Strait of Malacca, for instance, divides the island of Sumatra from Malaysia. Not only is Singapore at the southern end--one of the great maritime ports of the world--but most of the shipping moving between Asia and Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, travels through this increasingly narrow, 600 mile-long passage. Every year, 100,000 ships transit this strait. By the way, these confined waters are infested with pirates and literally thousands of fishing boats. While a chart may make the strait seem wide, the passable channel for big ships is only a couple of miles wide.

Somebody must have mentioned keelhauling. Just, you know, casually, as a sort of historical note or something.
Because I haven't seen a single report claiming to be sourced to the boys and girls on the Fitz.

Bobby, if you're in the military, the people above you have more powers than in the civilian world.
I saw an email from some admiral telling people NOT to openly speculate about the collision while the investigation is underway. Looks like people are listening.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
