Excerpt:
[The Hill] Creating a separate record system in the FBI is a mortal sin, and with good reason. Every newly minted agent at Quantico learns this as part of FBI 101. Anytime an FBI agent, to include the director, collects information in an official capacity, that information must be documented, associated with a case file number and entered into the FBI’s case management system. Comey never did that. In fact, his now infamous memos weren’t entered into the official FBI system until after he was fired.
Having one system of record ensures that all information collected by the FBI is searchable, discoverable and transparently linked to the authorities that allow that collection. A separate, hidden record system gives rise to suspicions and disrupts the economy of trust that the FBI has worked hard to maintain with the American people.

Yes. They are going to make him have breakfast with Trey GowdyDoodie, Jason "Tim Curry" Chaffetz and Loogie Gomer every day and Comey always has to pay the tab...

Until Comey actually goes to prison,it's all just kabuki theater.

The teapot dome people basically got to keep the money. I'm sure the opprobrium hurt a lot. The Keating Five didn't even have to retire after the scandal broke.

Talk is cheap. Show us the money. Otherwise, I see a bunch of D.C. swampers protecting their arses and those of their pals--it's called cover-up. Toss out the game-playing and do something to clean up the mess that has been created by Washington.
Meanwhile, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin wants to "burn down the GOP" to "purge" it of Trump supporters.

Political psychiatry has a permanent nasty smell thanks to its history in the Soviet Union. A psychiatrist who fails to recognize this suffers from a pathological lack of self awareness. Jennifer Rubin looks exactly like the angry woman shouting during the two minutes hate in 1984. Looks. Exactly. Like.

Read this. Jennifer Rubin praises the 'antibodies fighting Trump'. Juxtaposing the 'body politic' with the human immune system, she suggests the media and the anti-democracy activism against Trump is somehow saving the polity of America.

Yes, the Left increasingly uses disease metaphors to describe Americans. The same as the Nazis described the Jews. That's why they used rat poison to cleanse them, they were ridding the world of vermin.

And, Herb. I basically like you. I hope you meant "the nazies thought they were ridding the world of vermin." That missing qualifier changes what you said a whole lot.

Sounds like this guy needs to be committed and given hourly ECT until he realizes what reality is.

I hope you meant "the nazies thought they were ridding the world of vermin."
That’s how I read it, M.Murcek.
Incidentally, M., last night you submitted The Hitler Thing... without a URL in the Source box or the name of the website in square brackets, so it was deleted. Please resubmit, it looked like an interesting addition to the Rantburg conversation. Thank you!
#15
Oh, so now I'm a nazi? Jeez, you people are just like the Left. It's sad, when did you lose your way?
If that was in response to my comment, the answer is no, I don't think that at all. When it comes to discussing the Holocaust I think it behooves us who are not on the left to chose our words carefully as opposed to the HitlerHitlerHitler chanting from the "progressives." I said I basically like you Herb. No BS. I'd expect to be checked if my verbiage maybe made me look like I was saying something really awful that I didn't mean at all. I respect the daylights out of your stance against stupid and needless war. Keep telling it, brother. It needs to be heard. But don't bash the very people you are trying to convince. Nobody digs that...

Herb, reread what you wrote and realize they are giving you the benefit of the doubt, not condemning you, but that goes along with an honest assessment of what you wrote and admitting yes, you missed a word.
[Studyfinds.org] SOLNA, Sweden ‐ Who is most likely to have a memory like an elephant? A woman or a man? When it comes to specific events, a new study backs the claim that women have better recall.
But researchers say memories come in many forms, and men do have some advantages. While a female may have the edge when it comes to remembering a conversation or where she last left her keys, a male is more likely to find his way back to the car. That’s because women fare better when it comes to episodic memory.
Episodic memory is the ability to remember events, such as what we did last week or whether we took our medication this morning. One of the most sensitive memory systems, it is impacted by lack of sleep, depression and aging.
A research group with the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden looked at numerous episodic memory studies conducted over three decades to uncover the truth behind the anecdotal reports of men being unable to remember as well as women such matters as who they met, who said what or where they last saw a missing object.

They remember everything you have done wrong as though it happened yesterday. In that their memories recall perfectly. The anger and emotion are equally recalled as well.
#15
Every rule has exceptions, I suppose. Mr. Wife is the one who better remembers conversations and events, between the two of us, though I’m the one who finds misplaced keys — Big Man Mighty Hunter doesn’t notice things that aren’t moving. ;-)
He is much better at geography, though, which fits the stereotype... But probably so are 90% of females. The invention of GPS has been life changing for me.

TW, sounds like the relationship me and my wife have.
She has the inter-uterus tracking device. I have a photographic memory of events and movies.
She can't figure out a map or where things are and I can see them in 3D in my head.
But she can negotiate like a boss with car salesmen. It is funny to see them look at me like, "Dude, she is asking too much!" and I'm, "She knows the value. Match it or we go elsewhere."
#19
I admit to being a slow learner. My wife (God rest and keep her) always dropped her keys in completely random places. I didn't help myself at all by wisecracking "well, the fraction of a second you saved when you did that is gone now." When I finally learned to say "Don't worry, I'll find them" Bhudda smiled...

Well learned, that. "I find them so easily, dear, because I know you so well. I really do pay attention in my inscrutable way." Read somwehere that Jo Hopper said something like, "It took me forever to realize that when he was just sitting there looking out the window, he was actually hard at work."
[Federalist] The Supreme Court will hear a pivotal case in October on sex, gender identity, and discrimination: R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. As both sides build their cases, numerous influential organizations and individuals have filed amicus (friend of the court) briefs to aid the members of the Supreme Court in their understanding on this topic.
One brief in particular stands out. It’s so powerful, it should not only persuade the Supreme Court but influence people on both sides of the transgender debate, particularly the mainstream media.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GENDER FLUIDITY
The brief examines the personal testimonies of the following people, all of whom identified as transgender at one point, then reverted to affirming their sex: Walt Heyer, Jamie Shupe, Linda Seiler, Hacsi Horvath, Clifton Francis Burleigh Jr., Laura Perry, Jeffrey Johnston, Jeffrey McCall, and Kathy Grace Duncan. While regular Federalist readers may be familiar with regular contributor Heyer, the other names may be unfamiliar. Yet their stories are just as powerful.
For starters, each of these people now believes, due to counseling, therapy, and personal experiences, that there is no such thing as gender fluidity or transgender. They now believe it is a fantasy many people try to make real.

There is a similar psychological condition in which a person believes their limb doesn't belong. The medical field decided this was a sickness and that it would be immoral to amputate healthy limbs.
When it comes to changing gender things are suddenly different how? Just because you can't pin it simply to being a limb doesn't mean it's not a similar mental issue. The suicide rates remain the same before and after suggesting that gender reassignment is not curing the problem, and playing along with the infinite gender game is discouraging active searching for solutions.
In a decade or two the psychological and medical fields will look back in shame at all the lives they wrecked by cow-towing instead of standing firm with the facts.

Every time I was tempted to get a 'cool' tattoo what stopped me was the thought: "Will I really, Really want this on my arm 20-30 years from now?" ...and a tattoo is chicken feed compared to elective surgical body modification
