Melania's parents just went through the naturalization ceremony.
Pretty cool.
Lady Bird was a peculiar first lady.
Johnson was probably the most corrupt president. Harding and Grant had corrupt friends and retainers.
Johnson was more corrupt that anyone around him.
People start thread pollution. People can stop it.
What is the name of the journalist/biographer who slept with Johnson?
Doris Kearns Goodwin?
Don’t miss tonight’s Very Special Deep State Fighting Breaking News Edition of Hannity!
🤪
Michelle Obama says she is forever First Lady.
Andy McCarthy, who hates Trump as much as Chuck, fopdoodle extraordinaire, but still manages to think coherently;
"I am assuming the authenticity of the questions that Special Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly wants to ask President Trump. The questions indicate that, after a year of his own investigation and two years of FBI investigation, the prosecutor lacks evidence of a crime."
There is a First Lady, a second lady, and a gentleman.
Michelle Obama says she is forever First Lady.
Until she is President. Just ask Hilary.
McCarthy, continued:
"Otherwise, a special-counsel investigation — especially one staffed by the president’s political opponents — is apt to become a thinly veiled political scheme, enabling the losers to relitigate the election and obstruct the president from pursuing the agenda on which he ran.
That is what we are now witnessing."
LBJ was awe inspiring in his corruption. A role model for Democrats.
LLR Chuck: "Don’t miss tonight’s Very Special Deep State Fighting Breaking News Edition of Hannity!"
The jig is really up now for our "LLR", isn't it?
LOL
I'll repeat the same question I posed on another thread:
The only remaining question now is how LLR Chuck will help drag noted whitey's Tester, Stabenow and McCaskill across the finish line.
It will be interesting to see how he and his lefty allies try to pull that one off.
Isn't it strange how the Atlantic, in speaking about Hillary, perfectly describes LLR Chuck:
"“she (he) has not yet reached the point where she can sound off in a way that doesn’t reek of self-pity and bitterness”
In a funny but completely accurate way, the trajectory of beliefs, clear emotions and statements from Hillary exactly mirror those of LLR Chuck.
Makes you wonder.......
When I saw the post I thought of Chuck as the perfect person to explain the Michigan politics behind this.
And why no action by the governor?

Black Gun Owner Will Give Birth in Prison After Trying to Protect 2-Year-Old Daughter from Assailant
Siwatu-Salama Ra used a legally purchased firearm to protect her family. She was sentenced to 2 years in prison.
"A poll taken on April 22, 2018 had Trump’s approval rating among black men at 11 percent, while the same poll on April 29, 2018 pegged the approval rating at 22 percent. It should be noted that Reuters only sampled slightly under 200 black males each week and slightly under 3,000 people overall.
"Trump experienced a similar jump in approval among black people overall, spiking from 8.9 percent on April 22 to 16.5 percent on April 29."
http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/02/reuters-poll-black-male-approval-for-trump-doubles-in-one-week/
So black women approval of Trump moved from 7% to 11%.
Small sample but Kanye must be stopped.
LLRs and Leftist Collectivists hardest hit with a Clue-by-4.

Why did Bill Kristol dox Trumps new lawyer?
Nasty - not what I expected from a so called conservative.
Yesterday the Consortium News website published an article titled "Robert Mueller: Gone Fishing", written by Ray McGovern and Bill Binney. McGovern was a CIA analyst for 27 years, and Billey worked for NSA for 36 years.
The article includes the following passages.
[quote]
If there were any tangible evidence of Trump campaign-Russia collusion, [Robert "The FBI Whitewasher"] Mueller would almost certainly have known where to look and, in today’s world of blanket surveillance, would have found it by now. ...
The National Security Agency (NSA) collects everything: all email, telephone calls, texts, faxes — everything, and stores it in giant databases. ....
On January 17, 2014, when President Barack Obama directed the intelligence community to limit their warrantless data searches for analysis/evaluation to two “hops,” ... basically, it authorized them to spy on anyone on the planet. ....
“Hop” refers to one connection in a series of connections in a social network. For example, I call you (that’s the first hop); then you call someone else (second hop). Another term for hop is degree of separation, 2 hops = 2 degrees of separation. ....
Allowing the second hop to apply to government departments or to businesses ... if you include “businesses” like Google, for example ... it will not take very long before you have included everyone.
Small wonder, then, that leaders of NSA and the rest of the intelligence community were delighted with Obama’s January 2014 decision. It meant they could continue collecting and targeting anyone they wanted. In essence, this means that the FBI/NSA/CIA believe they have approval to surveil any US citizen without a court warrant. And that is what they are doing.
But when the FBI, for example, does find evidence enough to prosecute, it is has to circumvent rules of criminal procedure by creating a “parallel construction.” This involves obtaining evidence similar to that in NSA-collected data and using the new “legal” evidence in court, without telling the judges, lawyers, or defendants where they originally got it from. This, of course, can amount to perjury and applies also to any warrant requests and sworn affidavits submitted to get the warrants. ....
In a 2011 interview by Barton Gellman for Time magazine, Mueller made it clear his FBI had been using the “Stellar Wind” program since late 2001. This is the program by which the NSA has been collecting and storing domestic data on virtually all US citizens.
So, in essence, Mueller and his FBI were fine with deceiving court and defendant alike, denying defendants the right to proper and full discovery. Finally, performing surveillance on anyone in the Trump campaign or in his administration, would mean the NSA/FBI/CIA could “legally” (by their own warped standards) spy on everyone associated with the Trump administration even retroactively, going back to before the campaign began. ...

Interesting Michael Sylvester, this was the same stellar wind that comey threatened to resign over back in March 2004, and take a good chunk of the justice department with him.
The Moon of Alabama website has been debunking the British government's accusation that the Russian Government poisoned Sergey and Yulia Skripal. Sergey is a former Russian Intelligence officer, and Yulia is his daughter.
They were poisoned on March 4, 2018. Maybe they suffered food poisoning, following their meal in a seafood restauant. Or maybe they were poisoned deliberately.
In 1995, while Sergey Skripal still was an Intelligence officer in Russia, he was recruted to work secretly for MI6 by a British Intelligence officer named Pablo MIller. Skripal was caught, convicted and imprisoned, but in 2010 he was released to the UK in a spy-swap.
Miller subsequently continued to be Skripal's handler until Miller retired from MI6.
Miller now is employed by a company named Orbis Business Intelligence, which employs also Christopher Steele.
The poisoning of Skripal has caused some people to wonder whether he might have helped Steele write the notoriouis dossier about Donald Trump. If so, then perhaps he was poisoned because of a fear that he might talk publicly about how the dossier was concocted.
For more information, see the recent Moon of Alabama article titled:
The Silence Of The Skripals - Government Blocks Press Reports - Media Change The Record
http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/04/the-silence-of-the-skripals-government-blocks-press-reports-media-change-the-record.html#more
They would have to be the Russian version of Johnny english Miller supposedly lives in Salisbury, were told they had monitored the skripals for years, apparently specially trained and picked the pperaives who may be the daughters fiance or some team back in Russia. They preferred three different scenarios open air contact contaminating the doorbell and/or their cars air conditioning
Drudge has a breathless headline that Rudy admitted that Trump repaid Cohen $130K for the money Cohen paid to Stormy Daniels.
This is an outrage.
$130K to make it with a whore?!?!
It violates the ironclad economic law of supply and demand. Stormy supplies her massive bosoms and men demand then. But the price should be a dinner at IHOP, a few beers, bowl a few frames, and not much else.
So, I am outraged.
She was asking 200 k for her stories from various outlets they weren't buying so that was 35% discount.
Awkward isn't it:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-immigration-border/canadas-trudeau-grilled-on-efforts-to-turn-back-asylum-seekers-idUSKBN1I24L8
The amazing legal adventures of Trump continue.
About Trump “paying some Stormy Daniels woman one hundred and thirty thousand,” Giuliani declared that “is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. That money was not campaign money. Sorry I’m giving you a fact now that you don’t know. It’s not campaign money. No campaign finance violation.”
An incredulous Hannity—outed in a federal courthouse last week as one of Cohen’s clients—interrupted: “They funneled it through the law firm?”
Giuliani barreled on: “Funneled through the law firm, and then the president repaid it.”
Said Hannity: “Oh. I didn’t know. He did?”
The apparent admission came less than a month after Trump categorically denied knowing about Daniels’ pay-off, and a week after he admitted that Cohen had represented him in negotiating her nondisclosure agreement.

Women's history month quiz from Imus, March 4 2009
When did the first woman operate a vacuum cleaner?
What date did the first woman get on the business end of a mop?
What was the name of the person who invented the dust rag?
Johnson made millions from political influence, but it was personal and local; he did not have anything like the Clinton Global Initiative - an industrial scale transnational influence peddling organization .
There was a popular joke at the time, the punch line of which was, "The bad news is that it's Lady Bird's handwriting."
A splooge stooge strikes again!
http://www.dw.com/en/german-man-ordered-to-pay-child-support-after-ex-wife-forges-signature-for-ivf-pregnancy/a-43629011
Did not most of Johnson's wealth derive from "securing" broadcasting rights for radio and TV stations in Texas in Lady Bird's name? That is relatively innocuous as far as influence peddling goes, i.e.,taking money from others in return for favors. Johnson used his influence to benefit himself.
He also was FDR's bagman for West Texas, but that was FDR's corruption, no?
(And FDR collected money not for himself, but for the Democratic Party so that was just leveling the playing field for the poor Democrats against the filthy rich Republicans and not really corruption corruption, no?)

......................
Andy McCarthy has been defending the Trump charges that government police are the criminals and Trump didn't do nothing because there is no evidence of collusion. But he doesn't know what evidence Mueller has, but he does know that criminal charges have already been leveraged and he has to know about 32 meetings between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
The only honesty seems to be coming from the Justice Department so I have to think that that the additional evidence obtained from Cohen should seal the deal. As for the 49 questions, the source has been determined to be Trump lawyers, not Mueller.
I toured the LBJ library last year. Loved it. Love him or hate him, LBJ was y’ugely responsible for shaping our current world. Maybe more-so than any other modern president.
gadfly,
When did the meaning of "has been determined" become "has been guessed to be"?
Thanks in advance.
