Drudge has a link to a puff piece about Paltrow “plotting” against Weinstein since 2003. What it really shows is that Paltrow *knew* in 2003, and said nothing, and was part of the conspiracy of silence that allowed Weinstein to operate.

The Cost of Bad Intentions
Progressive policies threaten a new era of urban dysfunction.
"Urban America began falling apart in the 1960s, with skyrocketing crime and worsening disorder. Vagrants and drug dealers colonized streets, parks, and other public spaces. Many once-vibrant city neighborhoods collapsed. The crisis had many causes, including the flight of industrial jobs from northern and midwestern cities. But profound changes in attitudes and government social policy played major roles, too. Crucial adjustments to welfare programs, spurred by liberal policymakers’ belief that the poor were victims of an unjust system, discouraged work and undermined families. The 1960s cultural revolution, which endorsed experimentation with drugs, brought more addiction—and more drug-fueled crime. And as the crisis intensified, policymakers lowered penalties for many crimes, seeing lawbreakers, too, as victims of society, so crime got worse still. Though such policies, championed nationally by President Lyndon B. Johnson and locally by mayors like New York’s John Lindsay, were well-intentioned, they helped produce an urban netherworld.
As City Journal readers know well, cities woke up from this nightmare in the 1990s, with smarter and more aggressive policing, tougher criminal sanctions, greater focus on quality-of-life concerns, welfare reform, and other policy changes. Crime plummeted in many cities, and many city economies surged. Some cities, including New York, became models of urban flourishing.
Yet, tragically—and bewilderingly, given such improvements—a new generation of progressive urban politicians seem intent on returning to some of the policies that cost cities so dearly decades ago. They’re pulling back on enforcement of quality-of-life infractions, ceding public space again to the homeless and drug users, undermining public school discipline, and releasing violent criminals back into communities or refusing to prosecute them in the first place. And lo and behold, crime is starting to rise, and the streets of otherwise successful cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and even parts of New York are filling up with human excrement, drug paraphernalia, and illness-wracked homeless encampments. Residents are growing fearful.
Today’s progressives don’t have the excuse of naiveté, as did their predecessors. In fact, arising as part of the resistance to President Donald Trump, they want to overturn the laws and values that support the nation’s bourgeois, strive-and-thrive culture. If their agenda makes middle-class Seattle homeowners, or businesspeople in San Francisco, or downtown merchants in Chicago uncomfortable—too bad..."

‘F’ train earns name with dozens of feces complaints this year
September 10, 2019
It’s called the “F” train for a reason.
"The Brooklyn-Queens line is among the filthiest in the subway system, tallying over 120 dirty-car complaints so far this year — including dozens for fecal matter, according to MTA documents obtained by The Post.
With complaints of gross subway cars surging citywide this year, the reports show the F is among the most offensive offenders..."
'...“The usual homeless male in a wheelchair defecated in three cars,” reads another report from the month, one of several that make reference to a loose-boweled straphanger in a wheelchair.'
"...“Sick male homeless person covered in bugs,” was the complaint in one April report.

Will anyone on earth feel safer knowing that Felicity Huffman is behind bars and not out on the streets bludgeoning admission officials with her checkbook? Let the punishment fit the crime. Call me a bleeding heart liberal but I'd opt for a heavy fine or maybe community service cleaning up the bathrooms in the women's shelters.....I read a recent New Yorker article about how some kids and their families are destroyed by college debt. The article mentioned how fast college tuition has risen compared to the cost of living, but it doesn't examine how this happened. Does it have something to do with all these new administrators and safe space counsellors? Do college profs make more nowadays than in former times? How many multiples of a maintenance workers salary does a college prez make today compared to former times. Before we start further subsiding or forgiving student debt shouldn't we gain an understanding of why tuition fees have risen so spectacularly?
They start to get nervous this time of year.

I have lived in the same Seattle neighborhood most of my life. I truly believe that there is more wildlife in the neighborhood today, then when I was a kid. Coyotes, possum, raccoons, eagles, osprey, falcons....and recently rabbits. I never saw rabbits as a kid, and I lived near a golf course. The rabbits may explain much of the former.
It appears that raptors don't eat rabbit flesh. They gut the organs, and leave the rest. Ants love eyes.
A turkey walks into a bar, takes a seat on an ottoman and lays down down a $20 bill and orders a beer. The bartender figures the turkey doesn't know how much a beer costs so he gives the turkey one dollar in change.
(Stop me if you're heard this one!)
As the turkey is drinking his beer the bartender mentions, "You know, we don't get very many turkeys in here," and the turkey says "Well, at these prices, no wonder."

It appears that our dem/lefty/LLR's are going to continue trying to "make sharpiegate happen" in order to do to Trump what they did to GW Bush with the plastic turkey.
Do you know that to this day the vast majority of democrats and LLR's STILL think that Bush served a plastic turkey?
And that Bush allowed 9-11 to happen on purpose.

Of course, with the lightening fast collapse of 2 more democrat/LLR hoax scandals in just the last week (russian investors in Trump properties & the hilariously fast debunking of the Trump endangered a western asset in Moscow lie) it is looking as though sharpiegate, like pecan pie-gate and Titleist-gate and 2-scoops-gate and Collusion-gate and hoax dossier-gate and fish feeding-gate, will be what our lefties and LLR-lefties hitch their wagon to...with the same inevitable results.

LOL
A true virtuoso far lefty hack performance worthy of Reid Hoffman LLR's everywhere!!
On top of all the left/LLR-left corruption being exposed daily its no wonder sharpiegate is being clung to so desperately by the dems/LLR-dems.

Fake RolCon "conservatives" posing as conservatives on popular blogsites and then advancing democrat narratives while defending all leftists and undermining true conservative policies is something the dem/left/LLR-left have been working on for quite some time.

Bruce, isn't it amazing how just weeks ago the Legacy media and LLR-left media organs were full of stories of how it was Trump that was involved with Epstein and then, all of sudden, those stories (obvious and transparent lies intended to deflect from the culpability of democrats) dried up without so much as a whimper.....and then out of the blue the completely made up sharpiegate lies popped in!!!

Just like madoffs ties to schumer, allen stanford did contribute to a number of republicans, weinstein is prog in limbo.
Well, whaddya know? The DOJ "can't find" the original Flynn 302's after Flynn attorney Powell made note of the many discrepancies between the FBI's different "notes" created on different dates related to the Flynn "interview" by lefty and LLR fav Peter Strzok.
More importantly, Powell, who most certainly has the "number" of complete corrupt hack Weinstein (a huge far far far left Lawfareblog favorite) who has a long history of holding back exculpatory material in federal cases and has even been sanctioned by the courts for that very behavior, has identified other issues with the case.
Worse still, there appears to be a January 2017 DOJ/FBI memo which completely exonerates Flynn from any fake russian collusion accusations that was WITHHELD by Weinstein from Flynn's counsel. A perfect Brady rule violation for Weinstein....again!
And that was the guy who was really running the "Mueller" investigation because Mueller was too busy trying to figure out how to use a spoon to eat his pudding.
“Bastards: An attorney for Michael Flynn said in federal court Tuesday she may seek a dismissal of charges against the former national security adviser, citing “egregious conduct and suppression” of exculpatory information in the case.

Prosecutors with the special counsel’s team last year recommended that Flynn receive probation without jail time because of his substantial cooperation in several investigations.”
No one should be surprised at this. It is one of the few things that the Prosecution could do here (besides provide all the Brady information requested by the Defense). But I don’t think that Judge Sullivan appears to be the type of judge to go along with that. He is already suspicious about how the Prosecution got Flynn to plead guilty in the first place, apparently by threatening his son, who had a newborn baby, with prosecution. And having them pull that in response to a motion to show cause why they shouldn't be found in contempt for failing to comply with his standing Brady order is probably not going to sit well with him.

Well, that is going to be a problem for the prosecution. Maybe a big problem. FBI rules apparently require that 302s be placed in their automated system within maybe 48 hours. Sure looks suspicious, esp with the Strzok/Page text messages strongly suggesting that DDir McCade approved the 302s. Deputy Directors don’t normally approve 302s. Esp DDirs who set up perjury traps of the NSA in the White House (and then personally approved the 302s memorializing the conversation used as the basis for that perjury trap.
I spoke incorrectly about the admissibility of 302s. If they are written while the conversation is fresh in the minds of the agents, they can typically read them into the record as an exception to hearsay, but the 302s are not admissible, per se, as evidence. Which is why the FBI requires that 302s be filed promptly - the delay in filing here, the discrepancies, and the high level approval essentially negate this hearsay exception. This means that the agents would have to testify personally about their conversation with Flynn, without the 302s in front of them. And would be subject to full cross examination and impeachment, which should be quite interesting esp in the case of Peter Strzok. And, of course, no testimony about the conversation, and no 302s read into the record, means no case for Flynn lying to the FBI agents.
*spit take* Ralph is a WOLF???

So was Donald Trump right about corruption in Puerto Rico’s use of relief funds? Kinda. The FBI arrested one of the top administrators of FEMA and the CEO of a contractor on wire fraud and bribery charges, along with a lower-level FEMA official today for fraud and bribery involving Hurricane Maria relief. The contractor got a $1.8 billion contract for rebuilding Puerto Rico’s notoriously unreliable electrical infrastructure, which the Department of Justice says came by way of bribery (via Twitchy):

They don’t have the nous to realize that HOW you conduct a war is more important than the question of whether or not to go to war.
This came from TaxProf blog:
E. Donald Elliott (Yale; Former EPA Assistant Administrator and General Counsel (1989-91), EPA Has Existing Authority to Impose a Carbon 'Tax':
A number of bills have been introduced in recent years to put a price on carbon via a federal carbon tax. These proposals generally proceed from the implicit assumption that the federal government in general, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in particular, does not already have such authority. That is incorrect. Under a federal statute that has been on the books since 1952, EPA could impose a carbon “tax” any time an Administration in power was willing to do so. That is because a charge for using the public’s air to dispose of carbon dioxide and other wastes is not technically a “tax,” but rather a “user fee.” The confusion stems from a 1990 legal opinion written by the author when he was EPA General Counsel, which ironically was intended to increase EPA’s use of tradeable permits and other economic incentives to regulate pollution. It is time to set the record straight that EPA does have existing authority to impose a reasonable user fee on releases of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs), as well as other pollutants, any time that it has the political will to do so. ...

What would Trumpkins be saying about Biden, if Biden had Sharpied a weather map, said “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know” when asked about it, and then gurgled up a noise like that, all in the space of a week?
Well, Althouse beat me to that.

I've said, because I've noticed, for decades, and I ain't that fucking old, Jeepers Creepers, all the money comes from the progs.
Early 20th Century "projects" ---not to be confused with growing up in the "projects"--- which is a novel in itself if anybody wants to write it with me, were funded by proggies for proggies but it, yes indeed, involved a lot of men working.
We all know how that worked out, just look at America vs. any other country: we could have done better against them because we are all Americans and Donald Trump is not and he is horrible and bad@@@@
"What is wrong with Trump’s basic functionality with his speech in this video?"
Isn't it interesting that at the very moment even all the democrats are making note of Biden's fundamental incoherence and astonishing inability to articulate anything meaningful and questions about Biden's mental capacity are being raised even by his friends, certain people from certain quarters decide now is the time to launch another smear campaign against the indefatigable and powerful speaker Trump?
Isn't that funny how that works.
It's almost as if some folks sit around all day and think up ways to transfer the negatives of the dems onto republicans.
It seems like it was only yesterday when some lefty poster on Althouseblog, I can't remember precisely which one, actually asserted, and I'm not kidding here, that William F Buckley had to force KKK members out of the republican party decades ago!!
Seriously! This poster literally asserted that there was such a significant KKK presence in the republican party that Buckley had to take action!!
You will notice that this ridiculous assertion is part of the far left/dem plan to transfer the historic guilt of the democrats onto the republicans.
Naturally, once called on this astonishing ahistorical and laughable assertion, lefty poster in question wisely decided to let it go and not continue with the charade.
"Our man RHard really is one of the few saying the opposite of most of the literature out there today re; fems. Especially structurally. I can't believe there isn't money being put up for my old pal RH and I and even money for writers like Laslo to own these fascists."

A bit more on the hearsay exception that I mentioned before, from an article by Andrew McCarthy about Comey: Trump Was Always the Target of the Russia Investigation:
“Recollection recorded” — remember that one? That was the tell.
In June 2017, when the existence of former director Comey’s memos first emerged, he was asked why he’d made them. He explained, “I understood this to be my recollection recorded of my conversation with the president” (emphasis added). I observed at the time that, as an old prosecutor, that got my antennae pinging. To non-attorneys, this was just gobbledygook. But as any trial lawyer can tell you, “recollection recorded” is not an idle phrase. It is a term of art in the Federal Rules of Evidence (specifically, Rule 803(5), “Recorded Recollection”).
Most out-of-court statements (e.g., a news story about an event) are inadmissible as hearsay. But under some circumstances, “recollection recorded” is an exception to the hearsay rule. To qualify, the recollection must be recorded (such as in a memo) at the time an incident was fresh in the witness’s memory, so that it accurately reflects the witness’s knowledge. That’s why — if you’re not only an FBI official but a seasoned trial lawyer, such as Jim Comey — you’d want to write it down contemporaneously or immediately after the relevant event. Perhaps in a car speeding to a meeting with fellow investigators to report back to them about the investigation you’ve just done, despite telling your prime suspect, the incoming president, that you are not investigating him.
Here is FRE 803(5)
Rule 803. Exceptions to the Rule Against Hearsay
The following are not excluded by the rule against hearsay, regardless of whether the declarant is available as a witness:
...
(5) Recorded Recollection. A record that:
(A) is on a matter the witness once knew about but now cannot recall well enough to testify fully and accurately;
(B) was made or adopted by the witness when the matter was fresh in the witness’s memory; and
(C) accurately reflects the witness’s knowledge.
If admitted, the record may be read into evidence but may be received as an exhibit only if offered by an adverse party.

"...if Biden had Sharpied a weather map..."
Trump was correct in outlining areas that could potentially be impacted by Dorian based on the National Hurricane Center maps of Southeast on both Aug 29 and Sep 2, which everyone can view for themselves on the twitter feed from the NHC for Sep 2 at 5am.
Of course, at this very moment, Biden has no idea where he is, how many of his hairplugs he is supposed to massage, whether or not the young girl in front of him is asking to be fondled or not, where the nearest female Secret Service agent might be for him to undress in front of, and whether or not the word "JOBS" has 3 letters or 4! Because, you know, knowing the number of letters in a 4 letter word might just be a "big f***ing deal" to some voters.
Also, he is going to ban guns, red meat, energy production and basically anything else is advisors program into him in the next 15 minutes.

I think you got Trump now since literally no one ever suggested that Alabama might get hit by Dorian or its remnants at any time. I mean, I Googled it and I found only a dozen such instances where it was suggested, and that is as close to zero as is possible these days.
Chuck truly is the Self-Dunking Clown.

I know they don't think they want to be from what they say, but really they do.
We, Us American's, have been watching and documenting for decades and decades and decades and we find China better than pre-America >>>>>>>. Or >>>>>.

From Reason:
According to a new report on patients in Illinois and Wisconsin who experienced severe respiratory illnesses after vaping, 83 percent admitted using black-market cannabis products. While 17 percent said they had used nicotine only, some of them may have been reluctant to admit using illegal drugs, and it's not clear that any of them were using standard e-cigarettes.
These findings cast further doubt on the wisdom of general warnings about "vaping" and "e-cigarettes," which imply that legal nicotine products are implicated in these cases. Such warnings may encourage former smokers who are now vaping to start smoking again, a decision that exposes them to much greater health risks.
Don't tell the anti-smoking crowd who continue to suck public funds for profit by treating JUUL as dangerous, when vapes are the only sure way, short of "cold turkey," to eliminate cigarette smoking with no risk.
Meanwhile the FDA continues to permit the use of Chantix after reports by independent researchers that there were more reports of deaths and violence from taking Chantix than any other drug. Chantix and Zyban are anti-depressants used to nullify the effects of nicotine but these drugs caused users to begin experiencing changes in behavior, depressed mood, and suicidal thoughts shortly after starting the medication.
There were about 80,000 more votes in 2018 than tonight in that district, and 120,000 more in 2016. I suspect when this race is run again in 2020, Bishop wins by more than 12 points. Just saying, having Trump at the top of the ticket will make this seat safe in 2020, and will undermine a lot of the Democrats who barely won to flip seats in 2018. This always happens with off year and special elections- it is harder for the party holding the White House to get out the base, but that changes when it is a presidential year.
I predict you will see stories about how Dorian caused Democrats to flee the state, and so cost them the special election.
I must say : Trump missed chance to meet with Taliban on Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody to prove his point/boast.

Cargo Cult Science
by RICHARD P. FEYNMAN
Some remarks on science, pseudoscience, and learning how to not fool yourself. Caltech’s 1974 commencement address.
During the Middle Ages there were all kinds of crazy ideas, such as that a piece of rhinoceros horn would increase potency. (Another crazy idea of the Middle Ages is these hats we have on today—which is too loose in my case.) Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas—which was to try one to see if it worked, and if it didn’t work, to eliminate it. This method became organized, of course, into science. And it developed very well, so that we are now in the scientific age. It is such a scientific age, in fact, that we have difficulty in understanding how witch doctors could ever have existed, when nothing that they proposed ever really worked—or very little of it did.
But even today I meet lots of people who sooner or later get me into a conversation about UFO’s, or astrology, or some form of mysticism, expanded consciousness, new types of awareness, ESP, and so forth. And I’ve concluded that it’s not a scientific world.
Most people believe so many wonderful things that I decided to investigate why they did. And what has been referred to as my curiosity for investigation has landed me in a difficulty where I found so much junk to talk about that I can’t do it in this talk. I’m overwhelmed. First I started out by investigating various ideas of mysticism, and mystic experiences. I went into isolation tanks (they’re dark and quiet and you float in Epsom salts) and got many hours of hallucinations, so I know something about that. Then I went to Esalen, which is a hotbed of this kind of thought (it’s a wonderful place; you should go visit there). Then I became overwhelmed. I didn’t realize how much there was.
I was sitting, for example, in a hot bath and there’s another guy and a girl in the bath. He says to the girl, “I’m learning massage and I wonder if I could practice on you?” She says OK, so she gets up on a table and he starts off on her foot—working on her big toe and pushing it around. Then he turns to what is apparently his instructor, and says, “I feel a kind of dent. Is that the pituitary?” And she says, “No, that’s not the way it feels.” I say, “You’re a hell of a long way from the pituitary, man.” And they both looked at me—I had blown my cover, you see—and she said, “It’s reflexology.” So I closed my eyes and appeared to be meditating.
That’s just an example of the kind of things that overwhelm me. I also looked into extrasensory perception and PSI phenomena, and the latest craze there was Uri Geller, a man who is supposed to be able to bend keys by rubbing them with his finger. So I went to his hotel room, on his invitation, to see a demonstration of both mind reading and bending keys. He didn’t do any mind reading that succeeded; nobody can read my mind, I guess. And my boy held a key and Geller rubbed it, and nothing happened. Then he told us it works better under water, and so you can picture all of us standing in the bathroom with the water turned on and the key under it, and him rubbing the key with his finger. Nothing happened. So I was unable to investigate that phenomenon.
But then I began to think, what else is there that we believe? (And I thought then about the witch doctors, and how easy it would have been to check on them by noticing that nothing really worked.) So I found things that even more people believe, such as that we have some knowledge of how to educate. There are big schools of reading methods and mathematics methods, and so forth, but if you notice, you’ll see the reading scores keep going down—or hardly going up—in spite of the fact that we continually use these same people to improve the methods. There’s a witch doctor remedy that doesn’t work. It ought to be looked into: how do they know that their method should work? Another example is how to treat criminals. We obviously have made no progress—lots of theory, but no progress—in decreasing the amount of crime by the method that we use to handle criminals.
Yet these things are said to be scientific. We study them. And I think ordinary people with commonsense ideas are intimidated by this pseudoscience. A teacher who has some good idea of how to teach her children to read is forced by the school system to do it some other way—or is even fooled by the school system into thinking that her method is not necessarily a good one. Or a parent of bad boys, after disciplining them in one way or another, feels guilty for the rest of her life because she didn’t do “the right thing,” according to the experts.
So we really ought to look into theories that don’t work, and science that isn’t science.
I tried to find a principle for discovering more of these kinds of things, and came up with the following system. Any time you find yourself in a conversation at a cocktail party—in which you do not feel uncomfortable that the hostess might come around and say, “Why are you fellows talking shop?’’ or that your wife will come around and say, “Why are you flirting again?”—then you can be sure you are talking about something about which nobody knows anything.
Using this method, I discovered a few more topics that I had forgotten—among them the efficacy of various forms of psychotherapy. So I began to investigate through the library, and so on, and I have so much to tell you that I can’t do it at all. I will have to limit myself to just a few little things. I’ll concentrate on the things more people believe in. Maybe I will give a series of speeches next year on all these subjects. It will take a long time.

From an NYT article about yesterday's special Congressional election in North Carolina:
"Mr. Bishop defeated Dan McCready, a moderate Democrat, one day after Mr. Trump made a full-throated plea for support for the Republican at a rally on the conservative end of a Charlotte-to-Fayetteville district, which the president carried by nearly 12 points in 2016.
With most votes counted on Tuesday night, Mr. Bishop was ahead by about two percentage points, according to the Associated Press."
Ah, yes, the elusive "moderate Democrat," nearly as common as the spotted zebra or the unicorn.

As General Patton said, you don't win a war by dying for your country, you win a war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his. More, please!
Although to be honest, trying to "win" a war in Afghanistan is a fool's errand. You would need to nearly depopulate the place to do so. This was why nation-building in places like Iraq and Afghanistan were doomed to failure. In order to change the behavior of a nation, like we did with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, you have to defeat it so thoroughly that the people are living in rubble, and the former politics and way of life are disavowed by the defeated people. We didn't have problems with postwar Germany or Japan because the destruction was so widespread and the people had to devote all of their energy to just staying alive in the aftermath. We, of course, were not willing to unleash that level of destruction on Iraq or Afghanistan, fighting surgical strike wars, and as a results, your average Mohammed didn't feel defeated like your average Fritz or Hiro did after World War II. And then we learned that, no, there really wasn't a tolerant, pluralist American just waiting to break out from inside every Middle Easterner. Trying to remake them in our own image was doomed to fail. All people are not alike, and culture matters. In the future, we should avoid nation-building, and if someone messes with us again like another 9/11 that happened 18 years ago, we should unleash destruction on them, but not bother with boots on the ground, and just let them clean up their own mess. Lather, rinse, repeat.
With most votes counted on Tuesday night, Mr. Bishop was ahead by about two percentage points, according to the Associated Press."
It looks like Bishop's victory is larger than the margin of fraud, at least fraud in NC
Bishop won by promising that he would be "in lock step with President Trump"
I think we can ALL AGREE that this show the failure of Trump? He will HAVE to step down now!
Oh, Wait a minute; Bishop WON, promising that he would be in lock step with President Trump?
But CNN said! they said!! They DID!!!
Re: Yelich, I guess the ESPN Body Issue Curse is the new Sports Illustrated Cover Curse.
The Brewers won the game last night, but a Pyrrhic victory indeed.
"...and if someone messes with us again like another 9/11 that happened 18 years ago, we should unleash destruction on them, but not bother with boots on the ground, and just let them clean up their own mess. Lather, rinse, repeat."
Of course, Afghanistan didn't "mess with us." It was a band of mostly Saudis, and the plot was put together in various places in the world. The flyers obtained their flight training here in the US. The Taliban had zilch to do with it.
And, also of course, Iraq was even further removed from any complicity in 9/11.
We just used the 9/11 attacks to justify our own geopolitical desires, in the doing of which we have killed, injured, rendered homeless, and brought misery to vastly more people than were murdered in the USA. And we are still doing so 18 years later.
The Taliban harbored Al Qaeda.

"...if Biden had Sharpied a weather map..."
Trump was correct in outlining areas that could potentially be impacted by Dorian based on the National Hurricane Center maps of Southeast on both Aug 29 and Sep 2, which everyone can view for themselves on the twitter feed from the NHC for Sep 2 at 5am.
In TrumpWorld, it seems that the story is all about some scientists at NOAA being in opposition to some other scientists at NWS Birmingham.
That's not it at all. There are no competing groups of scientists. The story is about political hacks in the Department of Commerce, forcing statements out of NOAA, and NWS scientists standing strong against the Trumpist pushback, and with the grievous regrets of NOAA's acting chief who acceded to Wilbur Ross' pressure to put out a pro-Trump statement.
Where are the scientists who say that Trump was right to scare the wrongly scare the people in Alabama about effects of Dorian "harder than anticipated"? Where are the scientists (in NOAA?) who say that the Birmingham NWS scientists were wrong?
Again; there may be answers to these questions but it appears that the White House will not help answering them.

Turkeys are a common sight in my new-to-me neck of the woods. Last Fall, large flocks of them would traverse the wooded back yard. This Summer, I often stop the car to let a hen with babies safely cross the country road. We've observed, too, that they seem to be communal animals. There are three hens with about twenty young ones that visit regularly so they must have nests nearby, possibly in the meadow next door. They are pretty animals but still a joy to watch. (My two Labs don't seem bothered by them at all, and vice versa.)
”The Taliban harbored Al Qaeda.”
Do you know they knew what bin Laden was plotting? Give that the planning and training took place in many different places, I’d guess they did not. We certainly didn’t wait to discover the Taliban’s knowledge before invading their country, which was sold as merely a means to capture bin Laden. He escaped, so we had no further purpose to remain.
When the prorogation of Parliament business began, I assumed that Mr Johnson and his people had a plan: am beginning to wonder how thorough the plan is, how many contingent developments were taken into consideration. Lots of sound and fury, perhaps (the Johnson people assure us that the UK Supreme Court will vindicate the prorogation's legality).
Reid Hoffman "republican" (He Who Shall Not Be Named): "In TrumpWorld, it seems that the story is all about some scientists at NOAA being in opposition to some other scientists at NWS Birmingham."
The documented and widely distributed National Hurricane Projections which clearly show potential impacts to Alabama on both Aug 29 and Sep 2 are disputable.
They exist.
Anyone who desperately tries to assert otherwise is simply attempting to run interference for the democrats and is likely the sort of person given to insane mutterings such as the KKK was such a large part of the republican party in the 1950's!
Anyone arguing the National Hurricane projections do not exist is just that sort of person......

It appears there is a very very grumpy LLR who is having a difficult morning after the 2 republican special house election victories yesterday in NC.

"Do you know they knew what bin Laden was plotting?”
Mullah Omar told bin Laden to ratchet down the terrorism or leave as Omar was trying to improve relations, but bin Laden told Omar that he had one operation he had to complete or it would devastate his followers. Omar assented.
This is all well documented. I know you prefer to shoot from the hip because it makes it easier to summon your customary dudgeon in criticizing your own country.

It doesn't matter if he was lying. He knew that 1972 is coming again next year.

It's a jungle out there, folks. Plan accordingly.
“Turkeys are a common sight in my new-to-me neck of the woods. Last Fall, large flocks of them would traverse the wooded back yard.

We have turkeys in the neighborhood here. They go behind the house across the street. Probably don’t go through our property much because the vacant lots to the south and east are so densely wooded. We also have them down by the highway. Probably the same flock.
Back when my kid was young, and we were living in the mountains west of Denver, we had a flock in the neighborhood. Their numbers would fluctuate between maybe 6-8, to over 20 every year. Assume there was some predation going on. Maybe black bear. Maybe mountain lion. As you noted, the mothers with babies are fun to watch. Also, the males blowing themselves up to display their plumage.
The two species I could do with less of here are the pre-venisons and the geese. Both are traffic hazards, but we are now beyond goose pâté, and into venison time of the year. Baby venison is supposed to be more tender, and this is right after the time of year that this year’s crop of bambinos learned that asphalt is slippery. They really haven’t learned that they have to be careful of cars and esp trucks. We do have bear coming through the neighborhood on a routine basis, which is probably because of the deer. In the past, we always had a doe with a fawn or (usually) two sunning themselves in the front yard. They seem to have moved to the small patch of grass on the south side. The one apparently gets into staring contests with the cat in the window. Guy across the street has a buck browsing in his front yard every afternoon. I wonder whether it is because he has real grass, and we have natural grass. The buck almost looks like a lawn sculpture, until a vehicle comes along, and he majestically turns his head a bit. Maybe he picked that yard because it is probably the most ornate in the neighborhood, and he presents better there.
This is part of why we really prefer the mostly rural lifestyle. You are much more in tune with the cycle of life. And you have wildlife as a natural part of the environment. It is so quiet here at night, except when the Montana Link/BNSF trains come through, and for my partner, even they are soothing. Far better than our house in PHX, with a major road a block away, and traffic until 2-3 AM Fri and Sat nights, and starting about 6 AM weekdays. Here you hear crickets, and are woken up by birds chirping.
And, of course, no testimony about the conversation, and no 302s read into the record, means no case for Flynn lying to the FBI agents.
That plot is thickening. Now questions are being asked about Wray and his behavior.
Ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes, R-CA, said his committee was stymied by the FBI when they attempted to retrieve McCabe’s communications.
“The House Intelligence Committee tried to get the McCabe texts in the last Congress, but we were stonewalled,” Nunes told SaraACarter.com on Monday. “This is the kind of issue that really needs more transparency. There’s been too much unnecessary secrecy surrounding the entire Russia investigation -- the American people deserve to know exactly what happened.”…
And
Christopher Wray may also be suffering from his own lack of candor in his reasons for hiding McCabe’s text messages. We saw a typical deep-state bob-and-weave in his reaction to Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails

I haven't seen turkeys in Tucson. Probably too hot. You do see them south, at higher elevation near Sonoita.
We have a covey of quail that I have watched grow up from little yellow chicks to kids the size of the parents. They live in an agave clump outside the bathroom window. That seems to protect them from the coyotes. I did see a deer in the front yard last spring. We are in the foothills above the city and have quite a bit of wildlife and very little traffic noise.

For reals? I'm tempted to envision really small dinosaurs hunkering down and gradually becoming … chickens?
Narr
Help me out here
(Smile) Your “envisioning” is good but an insufficient start.
Here's a summary of the situation. Basicallly, one of the major lineages of dinosaurs, the theropod (a principally carnivorous) sub-group of the principal saurischian (so-called “lizard-hipped”) line of dinosaurs, evolved feathers — apparently initially for insulation (like fur for mammals) — while the other principal dino lineage, the ornithischian (“bird-hipped”) dinosaurs (ironically, given their name) did not learn how to cloak themselves in feathers (or thereafter, become birds).
Now, the enormous, gaping-mouthed, terror-ific tyrannosaurs, together with allosaurs and the like — just as a fur (or feather!) instance — were indubitably members of the theropod dinosaurs, but there were also many smaller, and even quite small, theropods as well.
A sub-group among lesser theropods thereupon built airfoils out of their limbs + (what we call) “flight” (pennaceous) feathers: learning and evolving how to employ them in aerodynamic flight.
Initially, these were still (non-avian) “dinosaurs.” For instance, a close relative of the famous velociraptors (members of a group together with velociraptors called dromaeosaurs or just “raptors”), known in this case as microraptors, actually flew on two banks of (4) wings, a veritable biological biplane, simultaneously preserving clear aspects of their reptilian heritage: spine continuing into a bony tail — no beak, but still teeth in the mouth — grasping claws on the finger bones of (both sets of) wings.
Here's a (Wikipedia) image showing various feathered dromaeosaurs including the foregoing two types compared for size.
The sub-lineage actually leading to modern birds — e.g. archaeopteryx et al. — for ages maintained many such lingering reptilian traits, but a long-time evolutionary process of simplification and aerodynamic perfection eventually led not only to use of only a single (“monoplane”) bank of wings (anchored in the upper limbs), but also to loss of all teeth, the (bony) tail, and (upper-limb) claws. (The recurrence occasionally seen of the proverbial “hens' teeth” however shows that the overall bird genome still incorporates [inactive] genes for teeth at least!)
The rest — including the great bang at 65 megayears, which killed all land animals larger than about 10 kg — is paleontologic not to speak of geologic history.
Spooked a Turkey hen with poults. The hen flew off, the poults took one jump in 10 different directions and then took turns beeping. High frequency hard to track sound, I could imagine a fox trying to track one being distracted by the others.
