Pausing...

I'm not intrigued by any news stories this morning. It seems the papers are full of non-news. Did Biden make a gaffe? Did Trump draw attention to himself? Is the news on vacation?

Elizabeth Warren

@ewarren

5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on.


Kamala Harris

@KamalaHarris


Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system.


And these people are lawyers. And liars. What kind of "justice" will be have in America if one of these ________ become president?

I could almost excuse Pocahontas. She supposedly taught bankruptcy, or something akin to it. Harris though has no excuse. She knows the difference between legally justified self defense, and murder. Officer Owin Wilson was found, by a jury of his peers, to have killed Brown in justified self defense. That makes it defamation on both their part, and esp Kammy who worked for years in the criminal justice system, ultimately rising to be CA AG. I know that science is hard for both of them (and, hence, their fervent acceptance of AGW/AGCC). But the forensics were very clear - Brown’s blood on the inside of Wilson’s Tahoe corroborates that Brown tried to take Wilson’s gun away from him, and the path of blood spatter and empty shell casings shows 295 lb Brown repeatedly trying to close the distance with Wilson, and Wilson repeatedly double tapping and retreating in order to maintain their separation.

Ingachuck..... They dropped an adjective from that story. He championed rights for "illegal" immigrants. Sad way for a valid point to be made about illegals. Miguel's first act in this country was to enter illegally. That his presence here merely was "undocumented". He was a drunk driver who didn't complete his sentence for that first DUI conviction, and was driving drunk when he killed the Family man. He was to be deported before all this. Kharma IS a bitch.

The 18 year old "gentle giant" Michael Brown also had been awake and moving for a day and a half and had just come from robbing a convenience store for a box of cigars and some stuff with some violence involved. Something was very wrong with that kid.
The cigars he had in common with Trayvon Martin, except that Martin bought his. These kids hollowed out the cigars and filled the empty space with marijuana and smoked them that way. It is suspected that there is something about the combination of nicotine and marijuana that may cause a bad reaction in some people, especially teenagers, and turn them violent.

We listened to the Gregg Jarret book on the Russia Hoax today driving back from California. It is very detailed and very lawyerly. I'm going to send a copy to my FBI daughter and see what she thinks. Pretty damning for the FBI. It's a year old and a little out of date (pre-Mueller report) but very detailed about Comey.

Man, no news but look what I've missed, 215 comments!

Today is our 39th wedding anniversary. Went for a swim with Mrs. stevew, also a tandem runabout on Sebago in a kayak. Went down to Portland, Maine, for a quiet afternoon wandering around the old port, and then a lovely dinner out at a wonderful corner Italian place. We agreed that it's been a wonderful marriage and we would do it all over again.

All the other not news stuff really didn't matter today. Does it ever, really?

From Breitbart: “Hong Kong police officials on Friday announced that former Deputy Commissioner Alan Lau is coming out of retirement to accept a temporary position as second-in-command of the force, with a focus on controlling the enormous anti-government protests that have rocked the island.”...“Other observers speculated Lau’s return is a sign that Hong Kong officials, or their bosses in Beijing, no longer trust Hong Kong’s current police leadership to handle the protests – either because they think the police have behaved in an excessive manner and made things worse, or because they doubt the current leadership is prepared to get as rough as Beijing wants them to be.“

I know which way I’m betting.

Bruce Hayden said...

“Officer Owin Wilson was found, by a jury of his peers, to have killed Brown in justified self defense.”

A couple corrections. It was Darren, not Owen, Wilson. Owen Wilson is the blond Wilson brother, one of 3 Wilson brothers who are all actors. Also, apparently, the case only got as far as the grand jury, which refused to indict, and then, later, the Obama/Lych DoJ decided not to indict either.

"We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids. Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids, no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”

Now, this sentence itself is kind muddled, but the second sentence probably was meant by Biden to be fully attached to the first one.


No, you really need to HEAR it. "...wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids" sounded very ad libbed, not part of any prepared speech".

ken in tx: An active shooter has not been stopped yet. What's so hard to understand about that? From a police point of view, it makes perfect sense.

Ken, I agree that that would be a logical definition of the term, and - as I said - I think that's exactly what it originally meant.

BUT! Fernandistan linked to an FBI-produced paper which is titled "A Study of the Pre-Attack Behaviors of Active Shooters in the United States Between 2000 and 2013" and which begins by saying, "In 2017 there were 30 separate active shootings in the United States..."

They are not using it to mean a shooter who hasn't been stopped yet.

Sean F on the issue of how to define "active shooter" has the best of the argument. It's clearly a term that has been redefined to mean "a shooter that is really really bad". In a similar way "assault rifle" has been redefined to mean "a rifle that is really really bad".

you know how I am

slide through my hands.

Wild, wild horses

couldn't drag me away.
I watched you suffer

a dull aching pain.
Now you decided to
show me the same.
But no sweeping exits or offstage lines

could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.

Re Trump and Hong Kong:

Yesterday, a reporter asked President Trump, “Are you concerned by reports that the Chinese army may be preparing to intervene in Hong Kong against the demonstrators?” Trump answered as follows:

“Well, something is probably happening with Hong Kong, because, when you look at, you know, what’s going on, they’ve had riots for a long period of time. And I don’t know what China’s attitude is. Somebody said that at some point they’re going to want to stop that. But that’s between Hong Kong and that’s between China, because Hong Kong is a part of China. They’ll have to deal with that themselves. They don’t need advice.”


Has anyone else, other than the Chinese leadership, referred to those protests as "riots?

"Trump is making Democrats reveal themselves by proposing red flag laws.

If they reject the proposal, it shows they only care about one thing: erasing the 2nd Amendment altogether.
He's just baiting them to turn down another grand compromise. Makes the left put illegals over gun control, plays terribly for them."

RE: UK power outage.

Last night there were reports the outage was caused by a failure of one gas power station and a major wind farm at the same time.

There was a major power outage in Australia recently.

It seems wind farms had something to do with that, too.

Contradicted by:

Weed, fights and guns: Trayvon Martin’s text messages released | Miami Herald
MAY 23, 2013

'In the months and days before his shooting death, Trayvon Martin was getting into fights, getting high on marijuana, getting suspended from school and talking with friends about getting a gun, according to cellphone text messages that defense lawyers for shooter George Zimmerman released Thursday.

Trayvon’s chronically misspelled, slang-filled messages — as well as pictures of a semi-automatic pistol, marijuana plants and Trayvon flipping his middle fingers — are all part of Zimmerman’s defense plan to put the Miami Gardens 17-year-old posthumously on trial.'

'...In between these messages, he appears to flirt with a girl and talk extensively about smoking marijuana, or “kush.” One friend called him a “WEEDHEAD.”'
