Some wonderful music by American composers, short pieces
Robert Moran was born in 1937. His Trinity Requiem from 2011 is particularly beautiful. It was composed for the 10th anniversary of the WTC attack. Here is an aria from an earlier opera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sblg9neGhyw He wrote two requiems; the one to look for is Trinity.
Instrumental music from the same opera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnmYlUmPEq8&list=OLAK5uy_lwjhp8QVvdAudfOuF8obqwQukVqYVnIlw&index=3
Lou Harrison was interested in gamelan music and natural tuning. This is a very characteristic piece, Main Bersama Sama.

I love these pictures. I especially appreciate the colors reflected in the water, interspersed with the blue and indigo...
Living in the Bay Area, west of the hills separating the bay from the valley, we have no real sunrise to speak of. Sunset, of course. But even then, it is hidden by the city (SF) to the west. Except for the brief period of time in the summer when the sun goes down between the peninsula and Marin County.
We ran tonight up in the hills overlooking the Bay and the city. A lovely course, trails alternating with streets. View of the city, the Golden Gate bridge, the Bay bridge. When we finished, we enjoyed the sun setting and most had a beer or two. (Not I--I get too cold after I run.) I fed the dogs graham crackers.
I feel so lucky to have a group of friends who share my idiosyncratic love for running long distances with lots of climbing. And who are comfortable just hanging out with each other, engaging in desultory conversation. I have a sense of belonging.
Mueller managed to pierce the attorney client privilege 3 times!

The Three:
1. Cohen
2. Manafort
3. Flynn
Flynn was by intimidated his lawyers, with threats of what they had done to Manafort's lawyer.

Is that a snorkel in the water or are you just glad to see me?
I did not realize that FBI Director Christopher A. Wray had supervised Andrew Weissman, when he went after Enron, Arthur Andersen and the put four people from Merril Lynch in jail, by withholding exculpatory evidence. And Wray worked under James Comey on Enron. And Weissman on Enron also pierced the client / attorney privilege.

Why do I have the feeling nothing will happen to Weissman?

Posted at 5:15 pm on May 20, 2020, by the perceptive anonymous blogger Shipwreckedcrew (22 years as a federal prosecutor) on RedState:
Has Susan Rice Made Herself a “Target” for Durham Probe With Langauge in Her CYA Memo?
'False statements by Susan Rice in her January 20, 2017 “Memorandum to File” potentially expose her to criminal prosecution.
The declassification of the entire Susan Rice “Memorandum to File” dated January 20, 2017, and further “clarifications” given by former Amb. Rice about her role in the January 5, 2017 meeting which is the subject of the Memorandum, raise questions about what Rice wrote that could end up exposing her to criminal investigation and prosecution in ongoing Justice Department probes...'
'...This leads to the question “Why would she place herself in the room if she wasn’t really there?” And if she wasn’t there, who was her source for the details of the discussion about Gen. Flynn between Comey and Pres. Obama as reflected in the paragraph just now declassified?
If only three people were in the meeting, one of those three had to be the source of the details that she “memorialized.” There seems to be no chance that it was Yates or Comey, so that leaves only Pres. Obama. So what her Memorandum really reflects is Pres. Obama’s version of what was discussed between himself, Comey and [Sally] Yates.
Andy McCarthy has posited — convincingly in my view — that the true purpose of the Memorandum written by Rice was to allow Pres. Obama to point the finger of blame at Comey for whatever might happen in the aftermath of the transition into power of the Trump Administration. According to Rice’s Memorandum, Pres. Obama told Comey to do everything “by the book”, and if Comey did not do so then Comey — and only Comey — was to blame.
Did Rice put herself present in the room just so she could avoid setting forth in the Memorandum that the details she memorialized had come from Pres. Obama? Was she playing the “loyal soldier” by creating the impression that Obama’s version of the conversation had at least one supporting witness — herself — rather than have it as a “He said, He said” between Pres. Obama and Jim Comey at some future point in time?'

Inga, better just stay home forever then. Sweet dreams.
Susan Rice could be a pain point for Barr. She isn't Valerie Jarrett--Obama's BFF. She is just far enough away from the center to have some tender spots that may yield to pressure.
What about the chief of staff? Wasn't he there? And didn't he make an unmasking request? He keeps fading into the background. What was he up to?
Obama really is a loathsome individual. All the more so because he holds himself so arrogantly. I hope that he is tortured by his so-called legacy dissolving in front of his eyes. Not that his idolators will ever see him as just another thug from Chicago. But nothing from his administration will remain except tatters of his efforts to transform America. Whatever the fuck he meant by that. Who do these people think they are?.

Since 'curating' me and I have more time on my hand than I can manage and you hate long poems, here's a long poem (I have sneaking filing I already posted this? Forgive a poet his fumbles, wont you?)
She.
.I.
It is not for this that I waited alone,
Listless afore a feeble fire,
The sun impatient to have done.
All the lighting bad no matter its source,
The coarse street shoppers shouting excitement
In fears oblivion: I was patient,
Reading horrid Milton, sipping cheap tea,
Smoking a haze of desire in troubled Pandamonia.
And those ‘after thoughts’ circling a vortex
In the blackened hole of incurable want.
.II.
To long and a chair to comfortable
Excusing the silence of passive desistance:
I claimed ignorance, then corruption,
Then the impossible greatness of the task
And so destiny: fated thus
To the eternal Ovidian whine,
Claiming sanctuary in exile.
The dark obliged, the nocturnal vigil,
The lack of vitamin D:
Cold, an empty gullet, the night.
.III.
One Sunday I ventured out:
The street was the same shabby bin
Of flowering tin and copulent flies.
I discovered the polluted sea
As I had discovered her before:
From the strand and at a distance,
Reflecting a sapien backside,
Resigned, as passive as a slave,
To complexions blare. And so,
Seeing the mutual indifference
Of man and water, I did not protest,
I certainly was not shocked,
I retreated back to my door:
Another forty days vigil
In the barrel of my bed,
Expecting Alexander
With a preprepared, laconic tongue
So to list instructions
Confused but tolerable.
.IV.
Next the eye saw around
The hostility of the times,
The self sacrifice requisite to repair
Deep holes in the fabric
Torn in an uncaring glance.
This was She who held the power to maim,
Taking what accident had gathered
In a forceful hands fine brutality.
Pain of a posterior enervation
Left the relics of charred anatomy
Scattered as an after burn
Whether the death, the caput mortuum
Of an alchemical change
Or the autograph of a miracle –
Who knows?
.v.
Who dances in the Elysian fields
Or laughs in the alley of posterity?
No songs past memories rest: all, all a ball
Of billowing winds wrapping chaos
In the cries of vulgar sentience;
Or the mechanics of bombardment
And the assorted atom contending
For upper air in feverish necessities,
Scratched epitaphs of void.
Death is a place past illusion
Where permanents and eternity
Are finally confounded
As dust across a plain
When a plain has gone.
As I write this (4:55am EDT) an owl is making quite an impression. It is amazing to me how clear the sound and how far it seems to travel.
Great Horned Owl
Moth.
Do I have a relationship,
Then, with that dead moth?
Caught in a summers evening,
Dead in the morning
Of the first, the second day?
What was allowed a nocturnal flight
Burnt by my impotent vision,
Defeated between the soured sugar,
The faded cotton,
The fantasy and boredom of gold?
Command and it will obey
Whacked by a newspaper,
Bursting upon the ceiling
The little generated warmth
Of his fossilised brethren:
Civilised brothers that sublimate energies
A continuous constancy of flame,
A standard of intemperance
Worked towards but never achieved.
The hours, with weight and measure,
Of day and night,
Finally turned their chaotic end
Broken in age.
Whose wings are, perhaps,
Prettier than I imagined,
A bulbous, pathetic fluff,
A clumsy angel
Scattered backwards,
The untragic, dying fly.
I must have pissed you off badly - I'm sorry - please forgive me.
A woman in china in prison.
They drain you of your colour so that you fit
in the colourless world - but inside - what magic!
Chrysanthemums and roses burst, bluebells in the woods,
lilies of the valley in the valley, verdant,
olfactory resonance of all that lives.
And the moon, doesn't that bleach you and yet
how free it is just to see it - a piece of moon,
making you black and white.

'False statements by Susan Rice in her January 20, 2017 “Memorandum to File” potentially expose her to criminal prosecution.
Good Luck with proving that pipedream about Susan Rice's false statements. Hell, Shipwreckedcrew doesn't offer any proof that he spent 22 years as a federal prosecutor.

This morning's advice: short skirt long socks.
Our sunrises here are marred by power lines, so they don’t make good photos, but they are still beautiful. This morning, the sun turned the tops of the trees gold and there was a rainbow descending on the top of the tree line. It was a big, fat rainbow with all its colors clearly visible. Well worth the effort of getting up early and taking a walk
"Woman on HQC for lupus contracts COVID anyway. "
I looked at the link, and fact checked it. There are no facts to check. A story was written, the source is anonymous. Its impossible to know if the person exists, if she has lupus, if she has the prescription, if it was actually taken or, if she tested positive.The story does not give dates, does not talk about the severity of symptoms, or how long the symptons, if any lasted.
Facts that do exist, documenting the media lying to set a narrative.
Seems you got snookered by the "Roe" documentary Ann. https://pjmedia.com/culture/tyler-o-neil/2020/05/21/deceptive-editing-norma-mccorvey-from-roe-v-wade-didnt-reject-the-pro-life-cause-former-lawyer-says-n411563

Is this the system of justice you want to live in?
Oh, and the Federal Court Conviction Rate is 98%.
Only 2% go to trial,

90% plead guilty,
Amazing statistics - Is Our system of justice really that good?

StephenFearby said...According to Rice’s Memorandum, Pres. Obama told Comey to do everything “by the book”,
--
There's been a lot of talk about that.
Which book did he have in mind?
Sorry to be all black-pilly this morning (the gloomy weather here fits my mood), but:
"nothing from his administration will remain except tatters of his efforts to transform America. Whatever the fuck he meant by that. Who do these people think they are?"
Obama was just the face of the effort, not the motive force. That force is still extant and very strong, and those that represent it still mean to take this country and rework it into their progressive dystopian fantasy. Of course they mean to "rule well", by their lights, but they definitely mean to rule.
Great photo! Nice contrast with good color too, not easy to do at sunrise, with water in the picture too ...
I don’t often comment on your photos, but I like them and I like that you put them on the blog every day, it’s a nice visual break among all the text. Especially sunrise photos, they’re a special type of photo, showing the promise of a new day, and we get new ones from you every 24 hours! :-)
And congrats on keeping up with the running at sunrise commitment. Discipline with endorphins is a good way to start the day. Not that I do it, but still.
"Woman who took hydroxychloroquine for 19 years for lupus still got Covid19"
Then, by Gawd, the science is settled!!! Except, maybe if she omitted the zinc. Maybe we should ask her. Oh, that's right she's anonymous so we can't ask her. Never mind.
I keep looking at that photograph. Is that the periscope of an enemy submarine in the middle distance?
I hope you can reassure me on this.
Jersey Field - yes!
It's easy to be 'proud' and rediculous - imagine if you were in that prison, what they do to you. It's easy for men - just go round back of the shead, shoot you in the head! But women, oh women, my loves...
I'll repeat it because it's a bloody good poem but drawing attention to that evil regime

HOC isn't a vaccine; it is is supposed to reduce the severity of your case when you catch covid and the sooner you take it the better off you are.
I write the best poem of 2020 - who cares - might as well die - vogon bs
I love you, Althouse - the fact you're 'balanced' - why 'balanced'? - what did Austin say 'a woman of good sense' which sounds very patronising, and I don't want to be. To tell you the truth, I don't know anything about women - nothing - zero - zilch. I use my 'empathy' to 'realise' them but that's useless. We are the same yet so different that is a bridge it's impossible to cross. 'What is a man?' a question I can answer, sort of. 'What is a woman?' I have no idea.
I’m quite sure that if her story is fake some sleuth would’ve uncovered it by now and reported on it. You aren’t a fact checker, you didn’t even find this article stating dates and severity of hef infection.
“The story does not give dates, does not talk about the severity of symptoms, or how long the symptons, if any lasted.”

Woman with lupus took hydroxychloroquine for 19 years, still got COVID-19
An Oconomowoc woman is warning people that the anti-malarial drug, hydroxychloroquine, will not protect someone from COVID-19
“She said by mid-April though, she started feeling coronavirus symptoms.
"Weak all over. Coughing, fever. The fever was very high," Kim said. "It just went downhill from there. I couldn't breathe no more."
Kim said her primary doctor prescribed antibiotics, but her conditions worsened.
She said when she went to an urgent care days later, nurses said her oxygen saturation levels were at 78 percent, when they need to be at 95 percent or higher.
Kim said after arriving at the Aurora Medical Center emergency room in Summit, she tested positive for COVID-19.
Kim said she was in the hospital for seven days.
She said she was on oxygen and received plasma.
Kim is mostly recovered now, but is still on oxygen at her home.”

“Where the rubber hits the road in Federal Courts, Manafort, Flynn and Cohen either admitted to or were found guilty of multiple crimes- Manafort in two separate courts. What else matters in our justice system? Some charges were never brought but could be brought against Mikey Flynn for lying to a judge in court while under oath.”
Not really. Charges are brought at the federal level by the DOJ. They moved to dismiss all charges against Flynn on the grounds that he wasn’t guilty. They had no way of proving materiality, since the supposed lies that Flynn told couldn’t have interfered with an ongoing investigation. First, it didn’t interfere with a investigation because the FBI (likely illegally) knew the contents of the phone call better than Flynn did (they had the transcript and didn’t show it to him). Secondly, there was no legitimate investigation ongoing at the time to interest with. This became esp apparent over the last week or so, with Comey apparently justifying his investigation of the incoming National Security Advisor for talking with the Russian Ambassador too much.
That was Flynn’s job as incoming NSA, to talk to and build working relationships with his future foreign counterparts. Esp with counterparts representing major powers like Russia and China. And of course, the reason that tensions were running high at that point with Russia, is that the Obama Administration had decided to use them as a scapegoat for not prosecuting Crooked Hillary for her private email server, as well as the DNC having had its emails dumped on Wikileaks, embarrassing Clinton (if that were possible). We now know, of course, that the entire Russian Collusion, as well as Russian interference, stories were completely fabricated by the Obama Administration. Not even Crowdstike ever saw any evidence of Russians having hacked the DNC server. They guessed, and the Obama Administration, Mueller investigation, etc all treated Crowdstrike’s wild assed guess as gospel truth. Because they wanted to believe. Because it was convenient for keeping their Russian Collusion fable alive for so long. No one should be surprised that Flynn was doing damage control with the Russians in the weeks between the election and the Inauguration. He was assuring them that it was the Obama Administration that had expelled their diplomats over something that they had fabricated in order to harm their domestic political opponents. In short, he was doing damage control for damage in our relationship with the Russians engineered by the outgoing Administration to harm the incoming one. That was Flynn’s job right then, and the frequency of his calls to clean up this mess was almost the entirety of Comey’s justification for the FBI to be investigating him.
This ties in with the “by the book” CYA memo. It very much tries to place the blame for investigating the incoming Administration, and in particular incoming NSA Flynn, on FBI Director Comey, and exonerating Obama himself.
“Where the rubber hits the road in Federal Courts, Manafort, Flynn and Cohen either admitted to or were found guilty of multiple crimes- Manafort in two separate courts. What else matters in our justice system? Some charges were never brought but could be brought against Mikey Flynn for lying to a judge in court while under oath.”
Adding to that, the only way that Flynn is going to be criminally charged is by another Administration. It isn’t going to be done by the Trump DOJ. PERIOD. And they are the only ones who can bring criminal charges against Flynn here. The Comey FBI engaged in egregious behavior to entrap Flynn in the perjury trap. And the Mueller prosecutors too engaged in egregious prosecutorial misconduct. Absent the political angle, any FBI agent, or DOJ prosecutor doing what was done to Flynn would have been fired. We ca still hope that at least Brandon Van Grack gets disciplined by the DC bar when this is all over. Moreover, the entire Mueller team should be charged with Obstruction of Justice by obstructing Congressional and OIG investigations by preventing witnesses from speaking to these investigations due to the Mueller investigation, long after they had exhausted their mandate.
In any case, the only thing that could happen adversely to Flynn at this point is if Judge Sullivan holds him in contempt for lying to him in court. But that is extremely dicey for a number of reasons. First, and foremost he was induced and coerced into making the false statements by the federal prosecutors, led by the odious Van Grack. They drafted the documents that Flynn signed that said that there was no coercion, nor any side deal, using the coercion that everyone was mutually disclaiming to force and induce Flynn to agree. Why is it legitimate for prosecutors to lie in court, and force defendants to lie in court, with impunity, while charging the defendants to make the lies in the first place?
And that gets into the other part of this. It exposes the wink, wink nod, nod, aspect of federal plea bargaining. Flynn isn’t the only person forced to lie to a court by unethical prosecutors, in the process of doing a plea deal. Many, if not most, plea deals involve defendants entering a guilty plea that the government would have a hard time proving beyond a reasonable doubt. Often to a charge, as here, that they actually didn’t commit. Maybe, technically, that is perjury, if done under oath. But it is perjury knowingly engineered most often by the prosecutors. They tell the defendant that they will drop this list of felonies that they may be able to prove in favor of a guilty plea to a minor charge that they ay not have committed. That is just the way the game is played, in courthouses, at the federal, state, and even local, level, every working day, across the country. And Judge Sullivan is threatening to blow up this practice by holding Flynn in contempt for accepting the plea deal offered him, for the lying required by the prosecutors to obtain the deal.
It takes a special type of ghoul to spend each and every moment of your waking day to search for the worst, possible news about the virus. And then celebrate it.
The excitement to day, far, is that a three judge panel of the DC Circuit has apparently ordered Judge Sullivan to justify his actions in refusing to dismiss charges against Gen Flynn, after the government moved for dismissal. This was in response to counsel for Gen Flynn (led by Sydney Powell) petitioned for a Writ of Mandamus to force the judge to do his legal duty and dismiss the charges against Gen Flynn.
This should prove interesting.
