Wife had Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter to read for a book club. We listened to it on CD on a car trip. Thought it would be penance for all my past inequities. Incredible, so I read it after I heard it. Great writing and just the kind of cynicism I like. Discovered Jess Walter got his start as a rep...

Whether they are US born like the San Bernardino Jihadist Farouk or imigrant/refugees like the Boston Jihadast Tsarnaev, if you leave the US to travel to any of those places you need to be rescreened. And monitored if the story doesn't add up.

This is a long war.

Not on the precedent, not on the law, but on some 3rd party rights sham to protect Starbucks and Udub so they can import people to work for them. Apparently not a sham after all...... Weird how when you do your homework, things have nuance and complexity. Open to your insight. The travel ban issue ...

This might be a good time for all you Hilliary/Obama fans to start working out more, find a new hobby, or just go EMCON. As I suspected the Obama DOJ sought a criminal warrant for a Wiretap, and were denied. Then a FISA warrant. Again no dice. Then they got a FISA warrant for Trump Tower in October,...

Once we get confirmation that the Obama DOJ surveilled a political opponent, completely in their Pattern of Life by the way, this is over. He is continuing to Troll you. And you keep losing.

Good.

And if the FISA court did what is reported, Trump wins another week. are you saying it would be wrong for u.s. intelligence agencies to try to listen in on the russian ambassador, when we know the russians are fucking with the election thru the email hacking--and perhaps more? Let's stop being cute...

Trump colluded with the Russians, he is going to never show his tax returns because they will reveal how deep he is in with them, and this wiretap bullshit is just Conspiracy Theory President feeding raw distracting meat to the faithful. He is exactly the batshit crazy President I expected. No. He ...

Didn't watch.

I am deeply disappointed the Left voted in Perez. Ellison would have been the last nail in the Socialist Coffin.

But props where they are due, Perez was a better choice. But he has a big job ahead. My prediction is he doesn't last much longer than midterms.

Buggers all.

Looks like George Takei just stepped in the same pool.

Oh my.

Buggers all.

Will do. Be a few more months of bureaucrats and paperwork then a refusal. I don't miss the USAPL, and I doubt they miss me except to take tests to protect others. Portland Beer Festival pretty left coast awesome too. Those PTown hippies can make the fuck out of some food. if you're ever there, I d...

Every city from Vancouver to San Diego on the west coast has some real gems. Love downtown Sacramento. Like San Fran coffee better than Seattle's...and renewed my fanboydom of sourdough everything. Need to go try KC barbecue. Not that impressed with Memphis Rub style barbecue. Jax Florida has a fami...

Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum section of Dallas is best barbecue I have ever had by a good margin. My neighbor's garage in New Orleans suburbs for Cajun. Pike Place Chowder Downtown Seattle for Soup. Well damn...I forgot about the chowder. Next time you're in town, go to the fish throwers and the brass...

Whether I like the process or I don't, it is the process we have. I will not be taking to the streets either when I like or dislike the outcomes. In this case I don't think the law is hard to discern. I think some judges are looking for ways around the law and precedent. We will see. What is a bit p...

In the end the Constitution, case law, and Precedent will prevail. Really? Like Roe V Wade?...or are you just confident that in THIS case, your view of the law will prevail? You could be right. I don't know yet. But I'd really like to see if you're capable of being so sanguine when you disagree wit...

American's interest. . . . what is in america's interest? How about we start with form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity? No mention I ...

Any news from Court on how this EO is fairing? Fascinating weekend. The Seattle judge's ruling was weak even by the NYT and WSJ standard, who both called it thinly reasoned. But when a Federal judge argues that the rights of a university or company are infringed when they can't import workers and t...

Why not do what both sides can agree on? Start a transition to natural gas from coal, expand solar and wind, and build some nuke plants. But which side will continue their opposition to these changes?

As long as they stay on liberal college campuses, Democrat run cities, and on highways in blue states, they will be fine.

I strongly suspect the violence will, as it always seems to do, be confined to blue voting counties. But if those folks are feeling froggy give some other places a try. See how that goes.

UAE sent terrorists for 9/11. Surprised they aren't banned. Oh wait... http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/uploads/2017/01/23/post_main_cover/962e9e009c84ccab770213daa1e34a3120507cf7.jpg A simple question: If after today's UAE jihadi attacking the police at the Louvre, if the Trump administration puts...
