[Daily Caller] The video had all the markings of a pre-dawn "knock and announce" arrest warrant on a meth lab somewhere in the United States. There were some two dozen federal agents donning tactical body armor and toting long guns. Surely, they were going in with overwhelming force to take down armed and violent criminals. Yet, what was CNN doing there and why were they being allowed to film in such a dangerous environment?
In the light of day, the situation began to make itself clear. This raid was not a message by law enforcement to one of the Mexican cartels or MS13, it was not intended for ISIS or "the mob." In fact, it was a visceral message, as former federal prosecutor Paul Butler so aptly put it, sent by Mueller to Roger Stone, former Trump campaign strategist, and his deaf wife, "This is personal."
To witness the bureau being hijacked by Mueller’s office and forced to flex its muscles in an inordinate show of force against another harmless and purportedly white-collar criminal was perplexing. The manner, timing, resources and manpower used to effect Stone’s arrest bordered on the surreal. And while Mueller and his minions may have been within their right to execute an arrest warrant in such a manner, their indifference to the optics of this "reality show arrest" is baffling.

Fo the Discovery Process can we start by demanding *all* memoranda and communications justifying a Nicht und Nebel raid at the pre-dawn by armed, repeat Armed agents.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump expressed scepticism on Sunday that U.S. lawmakers seeking to avoid another government shutdown could reach a deal on border security that he would accept, as he renewed his vow to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico.
[GatewayPundit] The Democrats aggressively block the President’s desire to protect Americans and build a border wall on the southern border with Mexico. Democrat attempts to block the wall in spite of significant evidence that it is needed indicate there is an unknown reason for their defiance.
In May of 2016, US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visited the President of Mexico along with other Congressmen, including little known Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke. Pelosi stated about the meetings ‐
Discussing the delegation’s meetings in Mexico City, Pelosi said [emphasis added]:
"We come here as a bipartisan and large delegation to express our respect for the people of Mexico and the country of Mexico; to acknowledge our shared border and our shared values and to learn more about how we can work together for the bright future for not only our two countries but for our hemisphere."
Pelosi said the delegation had a busy time in Mexico City.
"When we arrived, we had our country team briefings; we had the privilege ‐ some of us ‐ of going to mass in the cathedral and hearing the sermon on Labor Day on the importance of workers in Mexico, a view we shared. We’ve met with members of the American Chamber of Commerce. We had the privilege of hearing from members of the civil society here in Mexico. We had a very beneficial meeting with Director General Zapata on the subject of the economy and on the subject of TPP especially. And then we had a glorious meeting, a really very thorough exchange of subjects and views ‐ again about our shared values and our shared border ‐ with the President [of Mexico]. Just now we finished a lunch, as you know, with Members of the Federal Deputies ‐ Mexican Federal Deputies ‐ and Senators. And this evening we will have a dinner meeting with the Foreign Minister," Pelosi said.
Who knows what the discussions all entailed but since this date, the Mexican President has been aligned with Mexican cartels. As reported earlier this month he’s accused of taking millions from the cartels ‐
RUSH: Have you seen this? El Chapo, the Sinaloa cartel chieftain… El Chapo paid a $100 million bribe (the latest news story here) to an ex-Mexican president while he was president, and everybody’s acting like, “Oh, my God! Oh, my!”
[Breitbart] Veteran country rock star Charlie Daniels took New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to task over the passage of a new law in the Empire State legalizing abortion into the third trimester under some circumstances.
"Watch the wrinkles on Cuomo’s face lengthen as the ramifications of the thousands of murders he has sanctioned come to bear on him," Charlie Daniels said in a social media post Saturday.
"The NY legislature has created a new Auschiwitz dedicated to the execution of a whole segment of defenseless citizens. Satan is smiling," the "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" singer said.
[GatewayPundit] Newly-elected Democrat Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema wore a highly inappropriate mini dress paired with over-the-knee boots on the Senate floor this week.
Sinema looked like she was ready to hit the (strip) clubs, not cast a vote as a US lawmaker from the Senate floor.
Tell me, if you ran a successful business where positive public interaction was essential, would you permit either of these losers access to your customer base ?

So, we can stop hearing all this high minded crap about "comity" in the senate now?

I thought strippers were a natural constituents of her party?
All show no action for the money.
Promises, promises, promises.
And redistribution of wealth.

She'd probably be happier with rolls of quarters, gorb.

#1 The Republican party just voted out its miserable leader and replaced him with Dr. Kelli Ward. The internecine battle between Rinos and Conservatives continues.
The pubbies threw away the governorship of Kansas to some carpetbagging cat lady, who immediately starting calling for a $15/hour minimum wage, rather than support Kobach.
Y'all ready for Senator Sebilius? Pubbies are working on that.
[FoxNews] A new prohibition-style speakeasy that opened last month in Chicago will bar Chicago Cubs fans and people who support President Trump, according to rules the establishment posted Tuesday.
The Hyde Chi, located 6 miles south of the Chicago White Sox’s Guaranteed Rate Field, posted its list of rules on Instagram in hopes to keep the "negative people" out.
"These are the rules of the house making their rounds. There’s no room for negative people in our house," the post’s caption read. "If you don’t understand the industry and are ignorant to the humor in this then do us a favor and hit that unfollow button. We don’t want you to rub your negative vibes on us."
The post was met with mixed reviews, as some users supported the bar’s rules while others questioned the business model.
Jovanis Bouargoub, the bar’s owner, told the Chicago Sun-Times the Cubs and Trump rules are supposed to be funny -- but noted that coming into the bar with Trump gear or Cubs gear would be grounds for ejection.
"Some people don’t really see the humor in it, which is disturbing," he told the newspaper.

Interesting business model: "Let's Piss on half of our potential customers! HA-Ha-Ha! Won't that be hysterically funny!"
Are they following what has been the trend in Fantasy and Science Fiction publishing over the last decade? Funny that the rise of the Indie publishing of e-books in that field, eh?
