[Weasel Zippers] Detroit ‐ A Washington, D.C.-based author believes he has located the burial site of Jimmy Hoffa, 44 years after the Teamsters boss disappeared in Metro Detroit.
Dan Moldea, author of the book "The Hoffa Wars," said he spent the last year in New Jersey uncovering the last stop of Hoffa’s journey, which he says is a 53-acre dump site in Jersey City.
"This is the best lead I’ve seen on this case in 44 years," said Moldea, who began investigating Hoffa’s fate as a graduate student at Kent State University in Ohio.
Hoffa was president of the Teamsters union from 1957 to 1971, the last four years while serving a prison sentence for fraud and jury tampering. Federal investigators believe he was killed by mob bosses because he wanted to recapture the union presidency he lost while in prison.
Hoffa vanished from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township in July 1975.
From there, Moldea says, Hoffa was taken to a location in Detroit, where he was murdered, placed in a 55-gallon drum, loaded onto a Gateway Transportation truck, then driven to New Jersey.

Why take him to New Jersey, in a drum, when Lake Erie is right there?

Dan Moldea, author of the book "The Hoffa Wars," will unexpectedly commit suicide in two weeks although no body will be found. So, nothing to see, move along.
[National Review] Is this the tip of a scandalous iceberg? Or is it a signal that Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s much anticipated report on investigative irregularities in the Trump-Russia probe will be much ado about nothing much?
A low-ranking FBI lawyer altered a document that was somehow related to the Obama Justice Department’s application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for a national-security surveillance warrant. The application, approved by the FISC in October 2016, targeted former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page ‐ an American citizen, former naval intelligence officer, and apparent FBI cooperating witness ‐ as a clandestine agent of Russia. Apparently, the document tampering made at least one of the application’s factual assertions seem more damning than it actually was.
The FBI attorney, who has not been identified, is also said to have falsified an email in an effort to provide back-up support for the fabricated claim. The lawyer, who was reportedly pushed out of the Bureau when the tampering incident came to light, was interviewed in Horowitz’s inquiry and is said to be a subject of the related criminal investigation being conducted by Connecticut U.S. attorney John Durham.
The news was broken on Thursday night by CNN. That in itself is noteworthy. The FBI’s former deputy director Andrew McCabe is a CNN contributor, and the Bureau’s former general counsel James Baker is a frequent CNN guest. The IG’s probe has scrutinized the conduct of both. CNN commentators also include other former federal law-enforcement officials, who have ties to the Bureau and to some of the former officials under scrutiny. CNN’s news story about the evidence tampering is sourced to "several people briefed on the matter," who were not identified. The IG report is scheduled to be released on December 9, and witnesses have recently been permitted to review a draft of it under tight restrictions.

Is this going to be the same old same old? Find a low level puppet patsy and throw them under the bus while the puppeteers who pulled the strings go free...again?
If that is the conclusion of Horowitz's FISA abuse report, the report isn't worth the paper it is written on.

The problem with a vast sea of unelected civil service aristocrats is they are ruthlessly protective of their rice bowls. We are now facing their certainty that their rice bowl includes actually running the government despite the tiresomely noises made by the passing parade of annoying elected officials. Their certitude that they deserve to manage and govern us is now openly on display as the praetorian SES witnesses demonstrated. They have staged a coup and the outcome is not yet stymied. I thought the glide slope into the darkness would be shallow enough to allow me to get to my shelf stockage end date beforehand. Seems I might have been in error...
The man who would still be president, had he not died in office in his 4th term.
[Washington Examiner] When British Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn unveiled his country’s most expensive and radical political manifesto, with plans for a huge program of taxation and spending, he did it by invoking the spirit of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In so doing, he joins a raft of left-wing politicians in the United States who have made the architect of the New Deal and his ideas the keystone of their 2020 presidential ambitions.
From the Green New Deal to rural internet access and appeals to the working class, politicians including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have promised to finish the work that FDR began in the 1930s with government jobs, Wall Street regulation, and infrastructure.
Lawrence Glickman, professor of American studies in the department of history at Cornell University, said Democrats had long shunned the legacy of FDR as they reacted to criticism they supported big government and high taxation. That started to change after the Great Recession of 2008. Democrats "long shunned FDR"...?
"There’s a renewed faith in regulating corporations that are widely seen as becoming dangerously powerful, a faith in public spending, which for a long time Democrats as well as Republicans were reluctant to support, and a new faith in unions," he said.
FDR was namechecked across the Atlantic when Corbyn unveiled on Thursday a radical plan to hike taxation and borrowing to fund a massive program of public spending, coupled with the nationalization of the railways, water companies, and energy providers.
He compared himself with Roosevelt as he tried to head off criticism that his proposals would cripple the British economy and return the country to disastrous 1970s experiments in socialism.
"The U.S. president who led his country out of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt, had to take on the rich and powerful in America to do it. That’s why he said: ’They are unanimous in their hate for me, and I welcome their hatred,’" he said, quoting the president’s famous speech at Madison Square Garden during the 1936 U.S. election.

British children since the 70s have been indoctrinated that FDR fought the great recession rather than the truth which is that he significantly extended it.
[The Federalist] The latest Emerson College poll is out. The Democratic impeachment witch hunt is officially a huge failure that has blown up in the Democrats' faces. Overall, 45% oppose impeachment versus 43% who support impeachment. That's a 6-point swing -- in President Donald Trump's favor -- since impeachment hearings began. Quite amazing.
But much more importantly, independents (the only voters who really matter at this point -- everyone else has made up their mind) overwhelmingly oppose impeachment. Forty-nine percent oppose impeachment versus 34% who support it. That's not just a landslide 15-point margin in favor of Trump. It's a 24-point swing in Trump's direction since the hearings started. That's what you call a disaster for Democrats.
The same Emerson poll found Trump's job approval up to 48%. That's a 5-point jump since October. Trump is more popular since the impeachment witch hunt/hearings began.
And don't forget, Emerson poll results are based on "registered voters," not the "likely voters," who are far more friendly to Trump.
But I'm going to switch gears. Smart minds understand impeachment is dead. Trump won. To paraphrase the late O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran, "If the glove doesn't fit, the Senate will acquit."
Trump is sitting pretty. Now he needs to make one simple announcement to guarantee reelection by an electoral landslide. He needs to announce a massive middle-class tax cut.

[American Thinker] Here is the nub of ECL Buttigieg's black problem. Black people generally do not feel the need to virtue-signal. They believe their virtue lies in their unique history of suffering in America. They have been taught by the left-wing educational, media, and political establishments their virtue is a birthright forever. Black Democrats are certainly not going to relinquish that singular place of virtue in American history to LGBTs.

Most African-Americans are devout Christians whose social views place them closer to white evangelicals than to the people who fight for the right of trannies to teach kindergarteners about the joys of anal sex.
[Epoch Times] It’s official. The once deep-red Commonwealth of Virginia is now a blue state. As a result of the Nov. 5 election, Democrats now hold all three of the statewide constitutional offices, both U.S. Senate seats, the majority of its Congress members, and both chambers of the State House.
Laura Ingraham of Fox News says it’s because of "changing demographics." That’s only partially true. Virginia went blue because a handful of well-organized pro-Chinese communists made it happen.
The group in question, New Virginia Majority (NVM), has exploited Virginia’s changing population and "liberal bleed out" from the Washington area to flip not just Northern Virginia but also districts across the state. Based in Alexandria and Richmond, NVM has sent hundreds of paid workers and volunteers out across the commonwealth to register and send to the polls hundreds of thousands of new voters‐all under the nose of the Virginia Republican Party.
MAOIST GROUPS
NVM is led by longtime FRSO/Liberation Road cadre Jon Liss of Alexandria. Several FRSO cadres have served in NVM over the years, as have many activists from two NVM satellite groups, LeftRoots and the Virginia Student Power Network.
FRSO/Liberation Road comes out of the militantly pro-China American Maoist student movement of the 1970s. While it’s more discreet about its Chinese loyalties these days, several of its leading supporters maintain close ties to the People’s Republic.
Fred Engst is a longtime FRSO supporter. Born to U.S. communist parents and raised in China, Engst was educated in the United States, where he became immersed in Maoist politics. He returned to China in 2007 and is now teaching at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.
Alex Tom, a leader of LeftRoots and the pro-Beijing San Francisco-based Chinese Progressive Association, in 2012 formed the China Education and Exposure Program to “build a deeper analysis of China for US progressives and leftists and to build relationships with the grassroots movement in China,” according to his 2013 LeftForum speaker’s bio.
John Marienthal, a San Jose-based FRSO member, has been a leader of the pro-Beijing U.S.–China Peoples Friendship Association for more than 40 years and has taught in several Chinese educational establishments since the 1980s.
Steve McClure is a former Washington resident who, in the 1970s, was active in the pro-Mao Revolutionary Student Brigade. He has close ties to FRSO and NVM. Since 2010, he has worked with the Geography Department of Wuhan University in China, and he is a research associate with the State Key Laboratory of Engineering Information in Surveying, Mapping, and Remote Sensing at the university.
Jesus, Mary 'n' Joseph... it really feels like the early 70's again: "F--- the police" rioters in Berzerkely. A Weatherman spawn running for and winning the DA office in SF. Politicians being attacked, shot at by left-wing madmen. Domestic spying by the CIA.
And now Maoists. I have to think that the 2020 election will reveal the strength of the Silent Majority the same way that the law-and-order election of 1972 did.
[NationalReview] A battle with gunnies in Gazoo is a preview of Jerusalem’s tactics in the next, larger conflict.
Commuters on Route 4, driving toward the Israeli coastal city of Ashdod on November 12, were shocked by a kaboom, a rocket impact next to a major intersection. Had it fallen on a car or one of the many trucks plying the route, there would have been deaths, and the road would have been closed. Instead, police and Israeli Home Front Command units came and cordoned off the sidewalk, and drivers went about their day. Twenty-five miles south of where the rocket landed, other rocket teams from Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... (PIJ), an Iranian-backed terrorist group, were preparing to fire more than 400 rockets at Israel during a brief flare-up in fighting. Most of them would be intercepted by Israel’s high-tech air defense.

Good article. I would suggest that Israel also needs an Iron Dome against incoming Democrats.

^No invasions. Line up a couple artillery regiments. Start shelling - say 1 shoot per barrel per 10 min (cannon barrels cost money). Keep it for couple days.
[ScieNews] So it will look like most office workers in 2040
Imagine a large, spacious room bathed in sunlight, which penetrate through the large, panoramic Windows. Dozens affected by the rays of a rising star and the aroma of morning coffee. I hope you were able to imagine a spacious office, which millions all over the world. Now try to imagine employees working in this glorious place. If your imagination draws a slender, athletic men and women, I hasten to disappoint you and meet Emma ‐ the prototype office employee of the future. How are you?
What office job can transform a person.
The Model in life size shows how office workers can look in 20 years. Emma was the result of a new report called "Colleague" (The Work Colleague Of The Future), based on the study of the health effects that threaten for days and years spent at the table. According to researchers, up to 90% of office workers in the future will suffer from back pain, varicose veins and persistent challenges to performance. Emma is based on the study, which involved 3 003 people from France, Germany and the UK ‐ 50% of polled office workers have suffered from eye pain 49% back pain and 48% of the headaches. The study also showed that problems with vision, weight gain and constant headaches were the main problems reported by office workers in the UK. And with some health problems I had to face you? To discuss these and other issues related to your office work can .

Very few jobs require you to be in the office. Within a decade it will be considered cruel & unusual and work from home options will be better. Layoffs will also be safer as disgruntled employees will have not know where HR or their bosses are.
[Red State] If you’re looking for evidence that the culture ‐ and science ‐ have come a long way from the beginnings of the HIV scare, glance no further than a new write-up at Queerty.com.
Not long ago, HIV was a short waiting game, followed by AIDS as a swift death sentence. And in the early days of the disease’s discovery, mere talk of it was often drenched with fear.
But for many, it would seem, those days are in the rearview mirror ‐ dramatic advances have been made.
As per Healthline, in 1996, the life expectancy of a 20-year-old who contracted HIV was 39. By 2011, that number had leapt to 70. And, at least in some circles, the culture has similarly jumped.

Haven't seen much lately about how Red Cross said there would be a catastrophic blood shortage unless HIV testing for donors was outlawed.

If the infected had taken it upon themselves to act like whores with other infected but be careful outside of that group the infection would have mostly died out in the 80s.

..you know that in the less than enlightened first half of the 20th century, they confined carriers of infectious diseases to institutions to stop the spread of said disease among the population. That was before a 'disease' got 'human rights' before the more enlightened judiciary.

We are going down to the Mud Club in lower Gotham around 1980 to hear a group and there was a parked trailer on Washington St, parallel to the West Side Highway. My friend and I, while waiting at a light, saw a flow of men going in and out of that trailer...I guess they couldn't afford The Anvil or Crisco Disco which were near by.

I just saw an ad for a pill that enables you to just pass an HIV lab test, Dovito...something. For what purpose would such a drug be needed and what kind of FDA approves such a thing ?
#10
California decriminalized knowingly spreading HIV. On one hand gays and gay rights have done well lately, then they take two or three steps backwards and make their lives more difficult/deadly.
#11
I’m sure the FDA did not approve the pill you saw advertised, Dron66046. The level of testing they require in order to get approval verges on the absurd.
