Thing about a deposition, is it's under oath. So, perjury is on the table unless she just doesn't remember anything at all. Which is believable in her case.

I guess it is no longer popular to blame Bush and Cheney for radicalizing Islamicists with our preemptive foreign wars. Vintage scapegoats come and go out of style.

[BillingsReport] Kari Lake has worked too hard to give up now. She has assembled a crack legal team and expects to make a case that Hobbs overseeing the election was indeed a conflict of interest and that the machine malfunctions in conservative precincts were an intentional act of voter suppression. Indeed, there were several hours that votes could not be tabulated and there were long lines with people waiting to take their turn at voting.
However, when Lake and Masters asked that the polls remain open so that everyone could vote, they were turned down. Has a Democratic request ever been denied? Of course, not. And for much lesser [problems than those found in Maricopa County.
Masters, who conceded his Senate race said in a statement:
“There were obviously a lot of problems with his election, but there is no path forward in my race.”
Lake said:
“I am still in this fight with you. For two years, I’ve been sounding the alarm about our broken election system here in Arizona and this past week has confirmed everything we’ve been saying.”
“Our election officials failed us miserably. Rest assured I have assembled the best and brightest legal team, and we are exploring every avenue to correct the many wrongs that have been done this past week.”
Arizona’s Election Day was mishandled, possibly on purpose. 70 of Maricopa County’s tabulators were not working, causing huge delays in about 30% of that county’s 223 voting places. The markings were too light to read. That happened because the ballots were 20 inches long and the machines were set for 19 inches, which compressed the image and caused the ink to be lightened and the boxes to be slightly offset.

Think of vote fraud as a kind of crime wave. Better rules don't help so long as no one is obeying the rules you've already got. Instead you take it apart, systematically, piece by piece. Note that most Republicans have 100% failed us in this effort.

I think the Republican AG and Gov will certify based on two factors:
1. What they have on them.
2. The size of the post office bag they are being offered.
People who are pointing out that certifying will end their political careers seem to have missed the point.

[FOXNEWS] House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... , R-Calif., on Sunday vowed to remove Democratic Reps. Eric I farted on national television Swalwell ... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee... , Adam Schiff ...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"... and Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... from their congressional committees when Republicans retake control in the new Congress.
During an appearance on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures," McCarthy told anchor Maria Bartiromo that he will keep the promise he made in January to remove Swalwell and Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee and Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
McCarthy said Swalwell's association with a Chinese spy, Schiff’s promotion of the Steele dossier and Omar’s criticism of Israel disqualify them from serving on their respective panels.
"One thing I said from the very beginning, Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector," he said. "Why would we ever give him a security clearance and the secrets to America? So, I will not allow him to be on Intel."
"You have Adam Schiff, who lied to the American public time and again — we will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either," he continued. "Look at Congresswoman Omar, her antisemitic comments that have gone forward. We're not going to allow her to be on Foreign Affairs."
"But we're also going to stand up to what's happening, not just in the halls in Congress, but what’s happening to our higher education institutions, the antisemitism that's going on on these campuses and others," he added. "We will investigate that as well and stop this to make sure that America does have the freedoms that we said we would keep, and we will stand up to it as we move forward."
McCarthy, who has been nominated as speaker by House Republicans, needs 218 votes when the entire chamber votes in January. Republicans are projected to hold anywhere from 220 to 224 seats, casting doubt on his chances of securing enough votes.

I'm okay with doing this to the crazies from both sides.
[MarketWatch] For the first time ever, rich nations, including a top-polluting U.S., will pay for the climate-change damage inflicted upon poorer nations.
These smaller economies are often the source of the fossil fuels CL00, -0.91%, minerals PICK, -0.20% and other raw materials behind the developed world’s modern conveniences and technologicial advancement, including many practices responsible for the Earth-warming emisisons. And yet the developing world shoulders the worst of the droughts, deadly heat, ruined crops and eroding coastlines that take lives and eat into economic growth.
The deal, called "loss and damage" in summit shorthand, was struck as the U.N.’s Conference of Parties, or COP27, gaveled to a close near dawn Sunday in Egypt. Official talks ended Friday, but negotiations extended into the weekend.
It was a big win for poorer nations which have long sought money — sometimes viewed as reparations — because they are often the victims of climate-worsened floods, famines and storms despite contributing little directly to the pollution that heats up the globe. It took last-minute, pre-summit negotiations to even get the topic on the official agenda.
"Three long decades and we have finally delivered climate justice," said Seve Paeniu, the finance minister of island nation Tuvalu, according to the Associated Press. "We have finally responded to the call of hundreds of millions of people across the world to help them address loss and damage."
Pakistan’s environment minister, Sherry Rehman, said the establishment of the fund "is not about dispensing charity." Pakistan, hit by devastating drought and more, dominated climate-change headlines this year.
"It is clearly a down payment on the longer investment in our joint futures," she said, speaking for a coalition of the world’s poorest nations.
According to many conference participants, the U.S. was a late-stage roadblock to establishing this official payout language, though it signed off in the end. U.S. participation was also impacted once chief climate negotiator John Kerry tested positive for COVID-19, although he continued to work from his hotel.
How does COP27 ’loss and damage’ work? And where’s China?
According to the agreement, the fund would initially draw on contributions from developed countries and other private and public sources such as international financial institutions, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
While major emerging economies such as China wouldn’t automatically have to contribute, that option remains on the table. This is a key demand by the European Union and the U.S., who argue that China and other large polluters currently classified as "developing" countries have the financial clout and responsibility to pay their way.
The fund would be largely aimed at the most vulnerable nations, though there would be room for middle-income countries that are severely battered by climate disasters to get aid.
GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT METHANE
Attention on methane, a more-potent but shorter-lasting greenhouse gas than carbon, was considered a major win at the summit. Some 150 countries have now signed on to the voluntary Global Methane Pledge, an official effort to cap the release of the GHG whose reduction presents perhaps the easiest way to reduce the global warming.
With the pledge, countries representing 45% of global methane emissions have vowed to reduce their emissions by 30% by 2030. If methane-reduction pledges are met, the result would be equivalent to eliminating the GHG emissions from all of the world’s cars, trucks, buses and all two- and three-wheeled vehicles, according to the International Energy Agency.
China, the world’s largest polluter by some measures, has not signed the deadline-based pledge, but has agreed to reduce methane emissions.
Still largely voluntary
COP27 talks wrapped without concrete progress on the contentious issue of shifting an overall 1.5 degrees Celsius temperature limit from a voluntary marker to an established requirement of nations. Most voluntary pacts among nations and private entities, including a vow by Amazon.com AMZN, -0.75%, Ford Motor F, +0.58%, Apple AAPL, +0.38% and others signing on to a "First Movers" pledge, loosly use the 1.5-degree limit set in 2015 when talks took place in Paris.
Private banks, insurers and institutional investors representing $130 trillion said they would align their investments with the goal of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, toward a pledge to net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050. Advocacy groups cheer the pledge and its expanding roster but are also keeping up pressure on the signatories to speed up progress toward this goal and to stop undermining the pledge with fossil-fuel investment.
The Egypt pact was also void of firmer language on emissions cutting and the desire by some officials to target all fossil fuels NG00, -1.71% for a phase-down.
Natural gas, which is relatively cheaper to produce than other fossil fuels, has been the major alternative to more-polluting coal in electricity generation. Still, it has its own emissions risk.
In the U.S., for example, electricity is the most common energy source used for cooking — electricity often powered by gas. Still, about 38% of U.S. households use natural gas directly for cooking, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Natural gas providers also own an established pipeline infrastructure that may serve alternative energy, and is pushed by the industry as a viable alternative alongside solar, wind ICLN, -0.15% and other means. The industry also promotes its efforts to cap methane leaks.

No, I think these scams are getting easier by the day as Democrats continue to remain in office.

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.
