If anyone watched the first episode of Les Miserable tonight, how much of that was in the book? I read an abridged version and only remember the part with the priest.
I watched it, thought it was very good. As far as I know, much of tonight’s narrative was in the novel which is very long and detailed. I didn’t read the entire book but had to translate sections of it in high school and college French classes. It was a good way to learn French. Check out the wikapedia article on the novel for a pretty good synopsis of the plot.
Brennan, the police-state tyrant, is terrified. He’s terrified because his role in organizing the most disturbing abuse of government power in modern times is about to see daylight. He’ll be recognized by history only as a stain, and a blight, on our Nation. Bank on it. John O. Brennan ✔ @JohnBrennan

Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only.... 96.5K 4:51 PM - Apr 12, 2019
Since Trump is reported to be a noted germophobe, the fallout from this news is that Ted Cruz, David Letterman and Jullian Assange will probably not be invited to visit the White House.
""I think that there's nobody in the country who knows better that he should not be president of the United States than Donald Trump," Pelosi said when asked to describe the president." Said Pelosi tonight on CBS . Now how would she know such a thing? Surely Pelosi has no reputation for keen insight on human character. This is a vicious insult directed at the nearly 63,000,000 Americans who voted for Trump (unlike Chuck, I did not vote for Trump. My conscious is clear).
Well khashoggi actually is of Turkish roots as are not a few of the leading clans like the rhunayans but the kingdom is where the last Jewish settlement was conquered around 641 ad (dont quote me)
Unlike Unknown at 10:44, I am both white and overwhelming . . . somewhat overwhelming . .. more whelming than average, anyway. And the Nat Geo Helix test says my wife and I both have less Neanderthal ancestry than most people as white (not to mention whelming) as we are.
Not sure what to make of that . . . I wonder if people with high levels of Neanderthal might want to form networks and support groups, and have conventions? Something to think about.
Narr Always thought my wife's butt was Sicilian, but it could be Etruscan P.S. No robot genes.
I was watching a mighty heart about the Daniel pearl story and Marianne pearl (jolie) had to listen one of the villains of the story blaming 9/11 on the jews.
If one recalls as late as one months after September 11th khashoggi was openly dismissive of the tragedy and was positive bin laden hadn't done it. But then again ita like like raylan givens and boyd crowder.
I luv Jack Nicklaus but maybe he should have an asterick on his name. Two of his majors were Amateur Championships. Yeah, yeah, it was a "big deal" back then, uh huh, but then Woods gets no credit for his College Championships. One more major and Tiger has as many of the pro wins as Jack.

So you've read the famous "buttered buns" scene?

how can a Semite be anti-Semitic?

I’m all in favor of using the term anti-Jewish. Or Jewophobic
The @AnnAlthouse commentariat is overwhelmingly white. She'll need to be more inclusive going forward. I trust she will be.

This again? Haha Howard nice troll.
@Scott, I’ve been listening to Jonathan and Darlene for years, but that one is new to me. Thanks so much!
I encourage Howard to go to any Arab country and tell them they are just like the Jews- Semites.
Howie could bring the snark there as a stand up.
Might lose his head though.
