[FOX] In one of the more stunning revelations contained in the report compiled by the Justice Department’s watchdog, former FBI Director James Comey claimed he doesn’t remember the moment he decided ‐ and put down in writing -- that Hillary Clinton had committed crimes.
We know that on or about May 2, 2016, Comey composed a statement summarizing Clinton’s mishandling of classified documents, concluding that she was "grossly negligent." Those pivotal words have a distinct legal meaning, and are drawn directly from a federal statute, 18 U.S.C. 793(f), which makes it a felony to handle classified documents in a "grossly negligent" manner.
Comey used the exact phrase not once, but twice.
Based on Comey’s finding, Clinton should have faced a multiple-count criminal indictment, since the FBI discovered that she had stored 110 classified emails on her unauthorized, private computer server. Other people had been prosecuted for similar conduct that jeopardized national security in violation of the law. Yet, Comey ‐ despite characterizing Clinton’s actions with the clear language denoting violation of the law - saw to it that no charges were ever brought against Clinton.

Now we understand what Obama meant by the following words: "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” from a law-abiding country to a self-enrichment criminal enterprise.
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump came into office disparaging the United Nations and appointed politician Nikki Haley as the ambassador to carry out his disruptive agenda, but she has also shown Trump how the world body serves his purposes, specifically on North Korea.
Skipping down to the bottom line:
Haley said Trump asked her what she thought of the United Nations, then 17 months into her post and after the United States became the first country to quit the U.N. Human Rights Council. She said she rattled off a litany of complaints.
"Unbelievably bureaucratic, it wastes a lot of money, it has some real biases against Israel, against us at times, it ignores a lot that’s going on that needs attention."
Haley’s relay of their phone call illustrates how she guides the president who shuns the international forums and pacts the United States has helped build over decades. When Trump took office, he called the U.N. "just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time."

[The Resurgent] We've got Soviets trying to win Congress. Putin is not an immediate concern.
According to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 56% of Americans see Democratic candidates as out of step with the mainstream. This is far higher than in 2012 and 2016, neither of which got above 48%. The polling comes as other polls show most Americans really are not that concerned about the Russia story. And why should they be when we've got Soviets in America?
Bernie Sanders wants to turn Kansas red, which would be funny except he was probably serious. He's campaigning with a dimwitted socialist the left is turning into their poster child for revolution. Meanwhile, campus radicals are threatening violence against "Zionists," universities are being overrun with bat crap crazy campus revolutionaries who can't tolerate others' opinions. Women and Gender Studies professors are on the march because they cannot get jobs in the real world. And Democrats are suing to stop tax cuts while also denying that anyone is seeing any real benefit from the tax cuts.
It is really hard to get worked up about a hostile foreign power when Democrats in 2018 seem more and more to be a hostile domestic power. Their social justice mobs are hounding people out of jobs, boycotting American businesses, and chasing their political opponents out of restaurants when not showing up at their houses.
Putin looks like a piker compared to American ANTIFA.

The Russians are in no position to overturn the Constitution and install their puppets to rule. That is exactly what the Left is attempting to do in America. So, who's the bigger threat?

That site seems a bit overexcited, Eohippus Dribble5682. Among other questions, why would an old KGB hand like Vladimir Putin out a fellow comrade? What current or future source would trust Russian if their president acted so?

The brazenness of the left is amazing. For half of my life, the Russians/Soviets funded the American left and gave them their literal marching orders. Fer crissake, the anti-fracking movement is STILL largely a Russian-funded movement.

[Daily Caller] Educational attainment might have more to do with genes than was previously thought, according to researchers who studied the link between schooling levels and genetic variants.
The study, published Monday in Nature Genetics, found a noteworthy relationship between certain genetic factors and levels of education attainment. The researchers conducted their study using a sample of approximately 1.1 million individuals and identified 1,271 genetic factors that affect how much schooling participants attained.
The researchers gathered their results by analyzing 71 data sets, which included over a million participants from 15 different countries. The participants all had European ancestry and were 30 years or older.
"Even variants with the largest effects predict, on average, only about three more weeks of schooling in those who have those variants compared to those who don’t," said one of the study’s authors, Daniel Benjamin, according to USC News. Benjamin is also a University of Southern California (USC) associate professor for the Center for Economic and Social Research. "When we analyze the combined effects of many genetic variants ... they can predict the length of a person’s formal education as well as demographic factors."
By the study’s conclusion, the researchers had identified a number of genetic factors allowing them to explain between 11 and 13 percent of the variance in education attainment.

Do veggies convey an advantage?
A savage who scavenges cabbage
Can ravage the average.
Add ramage and marriage
And carriage, and there is your Babbage!
Is there such a place? There's a California, Kentucky, but is there another in Illinois?

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.
