You're right, my memory is wrong.
Just to add some meat on that slander.
In August 1998 al-Qaida (remember them?) bombed two US embassies in Africa killing 224 people. The CIA was able to pin blame on bin Laden. President...

Other than professional athletes and entertainers, most seriously rich folks don't get compensated with salaries. Hedge fund managers, for example, get millions in annual long term capital gains -...
When the ACA was passed it included the expansion of Medicaid to the near-poverty segment of the population nation-wide. The CBO estimates assumed expansion to every state. When the Supreme Court...
If the proposed legislation was similar to his recommendations, it might generate bipartisan support. Ryan's bill is DOA.
Thanks, the article restores my faith in the US defense industry technology. About a decade ago I was visiting Warton Aerodome outside Preston, UK and saw some Typhoons doing touch & go's. They're...
Thought you might like this video - I think it's two years ago. Red Flag
It seems like Daniels hasn't looked for his shot the last three games, going 4-13. The guards are struggling with turnovers, shooting and defense. Today, Bonam, Zamora, Van Dyke and Barefield went...
My nephew clerked for Judge Babcock in the same district. I was hoping he could give me some observations (dirt) on Gorsuch, but he didn't know him.
nuts
yup
At times I'm conflicted about disclosures.
When is it correct for someone who has run out of official procedural options to correct a wrong to become a whistle blower?
And when does an...

Herman the German: Enemy Alien U.S. Army Master Sergeant This is a really good autobiography. His life span was amazing.

She's been in for 7 years. I don't know how that compares with comparable felons who confessed. I doubt her getting out in 7 years will embolden anyone to do the same thing.
That said, I don't...
That's a pretty interesting article. I think it points out (without explicitly saying it) that one of the linchpins of the ACA was the state Medicaid expansion mandate that the Supreme Court...
I think there's something to this. Rural folks have been ignored & when not ignored, denigrated. A few decades ago the 'American Farmer' was a political force. After that was no longer true and...
Russia's economy is about the size of Italy's. It has oil, a pretty good aerospace & defense industry, aerospace technology, and a lot of nukes. US - Russia trade is negligible. They actively work...
The defensiveness of Trump and his minions about the Russians has hurt his legitimacy more than anything a democrat has said. If he had said something simple like 'it needs to be fully investigated'...
You're right, it's good. Gerson: Trump is good. Assange helped Trump. Therefore, Assange is good?
How's this Trump’s Syria Strategy Would Be a Disaster The president-elect wants to ally with Assad and Russia to fight the Islamic State – but he’s going to end up empowering extremists and causing...
The report also states It does not state that Russian attempts to do the same thing to the RNC were not successful, as Trump claims. On the contrary, it says they did hack Republican targets and...
So here's part of Trump's statement, "there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. There were attempts...
Thanks. It's good to be with folks that cut you some slack. With advancing decrepitude, I need it.
cheers
