[DallasNews] My tabulation of Judicial Watch's state-by-state results yielded 462 counties where the registration rate exceeded 100 percent. There were 3,551,760 more people registered to vote than adult U.S. citizens who inhabit these counties. What was Hilly's popular vote margin? Among some 2,500 U.S. counties for which Judicial Watch had data, these 462 counties (18.5 percent of those studied) exhibit this ghost-voter problem. These range from 101 percent over-registration in Delaware's New Castle County to New Mexico's Harding County, where there are 62 percent more registered voters than living, breathing adult citizens. Eleven states gave incomplete or inaccurate information.
Washington's Clark County is worrisome, given its 154 percent over-registration rate. This includes 166,811 ghost voters. Georgia's Fulton County seems less nettlesome at 108 percent over-registration, but for the 53,172 Atlantans who compose that figure.
But California's San Diego County earns the enchilada grande. Its 138 percent over-registration translates into 810,966 ghost voters. Los Angeles County's 112 percent rate equals 707,475 over-registrations. Beyond the official data that it received, Judicial Watch reports that L.A. County employees "informed us that the total number of registered voters now stands at a number that is a whopping 144 percent of the total number of resident citizens of voting age." Ah...RESIDENTS! There's the rub!

Here's a solution to the Left's "too many white people". Oh wait, never mind.
The State's appetite for your personal property is insatiable:
Another failed Australian Gun "Buyback" You should read the text, as overseas guns smuggled in are to blame for the increasing number of firearms. No mention of the registration rate from the Gun Ban in 1996 being less than 20 percent.
California Senator Kamala Harris this past week tried to rally her Kommie Troops by calling for a long overdue Assault Weapons Ban. The Australian Gun Ban, the River Incidents, and Harris show why you should never register your firearms. You should never buy firearms with anything other than cash, and never, ever buy firearms through the FFL system.
Ever.
Why? Because the Kommies are arming up. And they are like the state in their lust for the personal property of others.
Loads.

[Townhall] From Day One, Republicans coming into office said they would repeal and replace Obamacare. Obviously, they forgot that for the past seven years they had promised that very thing. They should have been prepared to present a viable plan.
Turns out they really had no idea what was in the plan they claimed they had. And it appears they had no need to understand what the plan was all about and how to debate its specifics because they knew it would never come to fruition. I can only conclude they lied to voters by giving the public the impression they were ready to repeal.
Because a repeal-and-replace didn’t happen on Day One or Day 50 or Day 200, Republicans proved to the American voter once again the depth of their lack of leadership. Frankly, Congress--Republicans in particular--has shown us just how dysfunctional they really are.

[Daily Caller] Chelsea Handler suggested on Friday that U.S. generals should carry out a military coup to replace President Trump, who she called "our idiot-in-chief."
"To all the generals surrounding our idiot-in-chief...the longer U wait to remove him, the longer UR name will appear negatively in history," the TV personality wrote on Twitter.
Handler’s comments come as the Trump administration, including the Defense Department, are on heightened alert over a rhetorical battle between President Trump and North Korea.
Handler, a Hillary Clinton supporter who cried when the Democrat lost in November, frequently makes controversial statements about Trump.
Earlier on Friday she posted a picture of herself at an airport with "Sorry about our president," written on it in English and 14 other languages.
[The Hill] CNN counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd warned that President Trump is agitating the government, saying during a Thursday afternoon interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper that the U.S. government "is going to kill this guy."
Mudd, who served as deputy director to former FBI Director Robert Mueller, said Trump's defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin has compelled federal employees "at Langley, Foggy Bottom, CIA and State" to try to take Trump down.
"Let me give you one bottom line as a former government official. Government is going to kill this guy," Mudd, a staunch critic of Trump, said on "The Lead."
"He defends Vladimir Putin. There are State Department and CIA officers coming home, and at Langley and Foggy Bottom, CIA and State, they’re saying, 'This is how you defend us?' " he continued.

....defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin has compelled federal employees "at Langley, Foggy Bottom, CIA and State" to try to take Trump down.
Nothing to do with budget cutbacks, 'drain the swamp', or Trump's desire to move away from mindless foreign engagements,' regime change' exercises, and 'endless wars.'
Where would the Klingons be without a Putin? He and his ilk are much needed.
[WeeklyStandard]. On November 12, 2015, officials in New York and New Jersey thought they had struck it rich. They had arranged a 50-50 deal with the federal government in which the feds would pay for half the cost of a new tunnel under the Hudson River, the renovation of Penn Station, and a lot more.
An announcement said the “new federal commitment” included creation of a “development corporation to leverage billions in federal grant and loan funding.” With the estimated cost of the project now at $29 billion, that would mean $14.5 billion coming from Washington. The government loans would come on top of that. The corporation is known as the Gateway Project.
A half-dozen ecstatic officials were quoted in the announcement. Anthony Foxx, then Transportation secretary in the Obama administration, declared himself “ready to roll up my sleeves and use all the tools at my disposal to move this critical project forward.”
But there was less to the announcement than met the eye. The agreement was not signed into law. It wasn’t binding. No contract obligating the parties was signed. The “commitment” to share costs evenly was merely an expression of intentions. The announcement itself was all that existed—a press release. Foxx never had to roll up his sleeves.
From the Trump administration, the agreement gets less respect. It’s beginning to be seen as a giveaway program to two of America’s wealthiest states. Neither President Trump nor Department of Transportation officials have endorsed the 50-50 arrangement, nor are they expected to. The officials scoured DoT files in search of documents that might spell out any obligations they have. No such documents have been found.
The New York and New Jersey crowd isn’t happy. They were alarmed when Transportation secretary Elaine Chao quit the Gateway board as a potential conflict of interest. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, New York governor Andrew Cuomo, and New Jersey senator Cory Booker have lobbied her. They got nowhere, but Cuomo at least got along well with the secretary (in contrast with Schumer). She told them they’d have to wait for Trump’s decision this fall on his heralded infrastructure initiative. That comes first. More at the link

See if Schumer is more interested in power games or a 'deal' in the interests of tens of thousands of union jobs (and Donk party funding). Any 'deal' should be like funding for the Army, done on a year to year process. Pass the popcorn.
The 'Design and Implementation' teams will end up being mostly filled with unqualified appointees and 'diversity' folks, having little knowledge about scheduling, budgets or actual construction.
The total scale on these projects is so huge that Boston's experiment would look cost-saving and efficient in comparison.

No, no, no! That was the TSA and IRS. This will be different.
[Wash Times] Al Qaeda is about to take on a new target -- America’s trains -- in an upcoming edition of its terror magazine, Inspire.
Issue No. 17 is headlined, "Train Derail Operations," and will spell out ways to create rail disasters in a transportation system that lacks the stiff security procedures of airline travel.
It’s competing Sunni extremists group, the Islamic State, for more than a year has advocated using vehicles to mow down innocents. Its murderous followers have weaponized vehicles in Nice, Berlin and London, creating hundred of deaths and injuries.
Adding trains to the terrorist’s priority list would put at risk virtually every mode of transportation and placed added pressure on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) put out a report on Friday saying al Qaeda has teased the Inspire articles with a trailer appearing on Telegram app channels operated by its fans.
"The trailer highlights that derailments are simple to design using easily available materials, that such a planned attack can be hard to detect, and that the outcome can substantially damage a country’s transportation sector and the Western economy in general," MEMRI said.
[DAWN] IT is the greatest leader’s greatest speech.
Seventy years ago today, Mohammad Ali Jinnah took to the floor of the Constituent Assembly as its first elected president and delivered the iconic lines, "You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this state of Pakistain. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state."
He added: "We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one state."
Seventy years later, Mr Jinnah’s founding vision and direction for the country have yet to be realised. Indeed, an argument can be made that this nation has drifted further than ever from the one that he had envisioned. The founding father had warned that the "first duty of a government is to maintain law and order, so that the life, property and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the state", but society itself has fallen prey to extremism and an infrastructure of hate.

Problem is Pakistan was created out of Muslim bigotry. A land of the pure. No place for others in a pure nation. No place for the wrong kind of Muslim either. No place for the impure, the impious. Whatever claptrap the bacon and eggs for breakfast and whiskey in the afternoon ,English educated ,MA Jinnah espoused in 1947, he had already released the Jinns of Muslim bigotry to get his own state.

[American Thinker] The phrase, "Women can do anything men can do," seems at first to be a rather harmless sentiment. As with all such, it has its uses, if not taken too far. If men can be surgeons, then so can women. If men can run a hardware store, then so can women. If men can be linebackers in the National Football League -- uh, too far.
Unfortunately, for leftist ideologues, there are no moderate positions on anything. You either agree with them in every detail, or else you are evil. Can we discuss our differences? No!
By now, you have surely read about the firing of James Damore, a software engineer at Google. He was fired for writing a thoughtful memo that questioned the wisdom of Google’s diversity policy. There is no need to repeat all the arguments, pro and con, of what he wrote, or whether it justified his firing. That has been done elsewhere.
The point of this commentary, is to remark on the insanity of it all. According to leftist ideology, there are no legitimate reasons, legal or social, to distinguish between men and women. Ever. Well, we can set quotas that favor women, but that’s only because women are treated so unfairly. Otherwise, we must pretend, as the late Betty Friedan claimed, that aside from external appearances (she called it, "packaging"), men and women are exactly the same in every relevant category. All of them.
The left seems never to ask why it is that women have, historically, been given roles that are viewed as subservient to men. If they would analyze the facts, then perhaps they could help fashion better policies for a society in which the roles and status of the sexes are being transformed. Jumping from medieval concepts of chivalry, to a sexless society, cannot be done in the one fell swoop of an Equal Rights Amendment -- if ever. To deny that is to deny reality, both biological and social.
The continuation of human life as a team effort. I've got to agree. Aside from that, far too much effort goes into fanning the flames of division by the left.

On Thursday morning, for the second time in so many days, North Korea threatened to attack the US territory of Guam with nuclear weapons. Taken together with Pyongyang’s two intercontinental ballistic missile tests last month, and the US’s Defense Intelligence Agency’s acknowledgment this week that North Korea has the capacity to miniaturize nuclear bombs and so launch them as warheads on missiles, these threats propelled the US and the world into a nuclear crisis.
...Unfortunately, neither the State Department nor the US media seem to have noticed. Rather than consider the implications of North Korea’s threats and its nuclear capabilities, the major US media outlets and Donald Trump’s political opponents on both sides of the political aisle have opted instead to attack Trump.
...For his part, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told the media on Wednesday that Trump’s statement was not a threat to use force, per se. It was, rather, an attempt to speak to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in a language he can understand, "since he doesn’t seem to understand diplomatic language."
Tillerson then said that the administration’s policy remains the policy of its predecessors. The US seeks to renew nuclear talks with North Korea if it will just step back from the brink. Last week Tillerson said that the US is not seeking to overthrow the Kim regime. This was an extraordinary unilateral concession to a regime that is developing the means to conduct nuclear strikes against US cities.
What Tillerson’s statement along with the response of the media and Trump’s political opponents all make clear is that at a moment when the US is in critical need of a serious strategic discussion about North Korea, no such discussion is taking place.
And North Korea is not the only threat that the foreign policy elite in Washington ‐ both in and out of government ‐ is failing to address realistically or responsibly.
The absence of serious strategic discourse in the US is just as striking in everything related to Trump’s handling of the Iranian threat.

...Unfortunately, neither the State Department nor the US media seem to have noticed.
Oh they 'noticed' alright, but regime change campaigns have well defined boundaries. Foggy Bottom and the Media are in charge of the.... 'destruction from within' mission. The two assigned missions have historically worked hand-in-hand.

I'd rather not see it. Don't look up at any sudden bursts of light in the sky. That's what I told my little brother during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The company my dad worked for in the Detroit area closed down for a week & the employees got as far away from their local Ground Zero as they could get.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Among some 2,500 U.S. counties for which Judicial Watch had data, these 462 counties (18.5 percent of those studied) exhibit this ghost-voter problem. These range from 101 percent over-registration in Delaware's New Castle County to New Mexico's Harding County, where there are 62 percent more registered voters than living, breathing adult citizens.
