dreams said...: The flood.

"As residents of Houston grapple with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, we recall the Great Flood of 1937, which put 27 square miles of Louisville under water in what – until now – was the widest and most destructive flood in U.S. history.

Above is a video from the Federal Works Agency showing the devastation, which flooded more than 150 cities along the Ohio River, drove hundreds of thousands from their homes, and contributed to 500 deaths.

Below, you'll see more of what Kentucky and West Virginia looked like after the "Mad Ohio.""

Mike Sylwester said...: We see how much James Clapper and "Crazy Comey the Leaker" hate Donald Trump and want Trump to be removed from his office by any means possible.

In that regard, Robert "The FBI White-Washer" Mueller is no different from Clapper or Comey. Mueller will try to remove Trump from office by any means possible -- just as Clapper or Comey would do if either of those two were the Special Counsel.

When Hillary Clinton and the Trump-hating mass media were making a big deal during the Presidential election campaign about Trump not respecting the judgement of "all 17 Intelligence agencies", Clapper and Comey both refrained from informing the US public that Clinton's accusation was total bullshit. Clapper and Comey both knew that all 17 agencies did not participate in making the judgement.

Clapper and Comey did not consider themselves to be serving the entire US public. Rather, they served only the Democratic Party and its Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Since the accusation that Trump was ignoring "all 17 Intelligence agencies" was working for the Democrats and for Clinton, the accusation was not corrected by either Clapper or Comey.

Mueller has exactly the same attitude toward Trump.; 8/29/17, 11:59 AM

Michael K said...: "I wonder where Robert Mueller lies in the various groups explained by Victor David Hanson?"

Max Boot in the LA Times today is in a group he describes well.

They wrote him off and bet their reputations for wisdom on their opposition to Trump, and in some cases they even ventured to support the sure-thing Clinton administration. After November, they became orphaned for their wrong-headed wagers, without a constituency among their own, and increasingly deemed less useful by the Left, MSNBC, or NPR. When Trump won, they doubled down and swore that he would implode from sheer incompetence or crudity, or would finally reveal his Manhattan liberalism, in league with Senate Democrats.

Shoot, you don't even need WF for that--there are dedicated Instacart fridges & freezers at my local Publix in a less-than-pricey neighborhood. The future, man!
I used Amazon Prime Now a bunch when it first came out but the surcharges now are a bit much. I got a mailed ad the other day for some Google delivery service (Google Express, maybe?) but I haven't tried them out.
The bad part about Prime Now is that if you have anything frozen they have to hand it to you...which means hearing a doorbell and actually seeing another person...which, you know, if I'm interested in doing that I'll put on pants and go tot he store myself! At my next place I'll get one of those expandable, lockable delivery boxes and find one that's refrigerated...then my isolation will be complete.

(I've never used Instacart although my sister loves 'em. I had a free delivery and $10 or $20 off from them once, but I was put off by their puffery--they advertised delivery in a day but when I went to order they needed either 24 or 48 hours lead time...but I was hungry then!

Commenting on the furor over:

Paying the price for breakdown of the country's bourgeois culture

by Amy Wax & Larry Alexander

http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/commentary/paying-the-price-for-breakdown-of-the-countrys-bourgeois-culture-20170809.html

The problem, as I see it, is calling civic virtue bourgeois.

Over the centuries the term "bourgeois" has morphed into various and sundry meanings. The authors chose one that differs significantly from the Marxist perspective.

An ambiguous, unfortunate label for an otherwise well thought out analysis.; 8/29/17, 2:26 PM
Michael K said...: That was an interesting piece about missile interception.

But the piano loves me back. Sometimes I can play something just the way I meant to do, and it says, Bob, that's as good as you can do. Lift your hands off the keyboard and remember what you did with me. Come back later, and we'll go for it again.

The Times' editors didn't seem to have the opinion Obama contributed to the shooting, which as you point out is equally as likely. To further the point, the Times' editors didn't have the opinion that it was the Editors of the NYT who caused the shooting, which was equally plausible.

walter said...: From Tom Perez, having done his obligatory support Texas email:

Friend --

There are just a few short weeks until Election Day, and we have a chance to hand Donald Trump a big defeat in Virginia.

The Republican candidate for governor, Ed Gillespie, is Trump's chief lobbyist. He touts his support for Trump on the trail, he's embracing the agenda of Betsy DeVos, and he invited Mike Pence to campaign with him. When Trump threatened to take hundreds of thousands of Virginians' health care away, Gillespie was silent.

The GOP is pulling out all the stops to win this race -- they're calling in their billionaire donors like the Koch brothers. And earlier this week, Virginia Republicans launched a vile, racist attack on Democrat Ralph Northam because he's standing on the right side of history after Charlottesville. They'll say and do anything to win.

He wanted to go skydiving, wearing nothing except a harness, and play a couple of violin pieces on the way down.

Etienne said...: I flew out of Riyadh Military, and King Khalid during the Gulf war. Our first SCUD attack was after we landed from the first day of the air war.

They wanted us to go into the basement of a building, but I decided to stay and watch. Which was a good thing, because it was fascinating.

The first two Patriots launched out of their tubes. One went up, and the other came right for us, and exploded downtown, making a huge mess. It smelled like sulfur everywhere.

Then we watched the other Patriot and just then we could see a small meteorite looking thing coming down. The Patriot exploded and the SCUD warhead was knocked into the desert. Technically it missed, but it had a good effect.

Then there was the sonic booms. So it was a full feature show: smell, sound, and visual.

My greatest fear, was getting a SCUD attack during a take-off. I thought maybe the Patriot would cut through our plane first, on the way to the SCUD.

Wouldn't that be unlucky?

What was really neat though, was watching a SCUD launch in Iraq. As we orbited around (half-way between the border and Baghdad) we would see a bright flash under the clouds. Then the rocket would pop out of the clouds headed to either Israel, or Saudi. We would announce the missile launch, and that would cause the air raid sirens to start going off in either country.

I really liked rockets after that. Technically, they are really neat. Course if they really had nerve gas in the warhead, that would have been a bummer.; 8/29/17, 5:40 PM

One, who had never been in combat before, confessed it was the most scared he had ever been in his life.

The other had had 500 missions in Vietnam and was not supposed to fly because he was the Group Commander. He flew 60 missions anyway and it cost him his star.

He retired, went into business and sold his company two years ago for 23 million. The Marines missed out.; 8/29/17, 5:50 PM
Michael K said...: The dam appears to be leaking in DC, as well.

Will the DNC files released by Guccifer 2.0 be analyzed to determine if they were, as VIPS has concluded, altered to give the false impression that the Russians had hacked the server? If so, will Mueller pursue those responsible for the adulteration? If, as appears likely, the server was not hacked, will Mueller investigate why Hillary Clinton and the DNC claimed it was? Will he investigate whether the DNC files were stolen by someone who had direct physical access to the DNC server? Will he try to determine who at the DNC had a motive to leak the files? Could it be someone who wanted to make public Clinton and the DNC’s underhanded treatment of Sanders?

I hope your right, but I have a gut feeling he seems to be of the group of win at any costs. And what scares me, is basically once the government goes after you, your guilty, unless you have a huge amount of money. Even if you win, your life is ruined and the process is a form of punishment. And if you don't have a huge amount of money, your bankrupted with lawyer costs. So it's a lose lose.

Donald Trump is an exception to this I hope, since he's been involved in 3500 lawsuits and understands the legal system, and it's biases.

Anyway, God bless you, my young friend, and God bless the people who hate you. And God bless the people who do not hate you.
