-Lurid Crime Tales-
Susan Rice cancels public appearance
[Surber] There was fallout this weekend from the pending criminal investigation of Susan Rice for her role in Barack Obama's illegal espionage of President Trump.

Just a few hours before her scheduled appearance on Saturday before the Greater Rochester Area Branch of American Association of University Women, Rice canceled her speech.

Cheryl McKeiver, a financial adviser and developmental vice president of the club, explained to the press:

"GRAB of AAUW was very much looking forward to hosting Ambassador Susan E. Rice in Rochester to inspire young women who are soon to embark on their chosen careers. Unfortunately, we regret that we must cancel the conference originally scheduled for Saturday, April 8, due to a ticketing error. We apologize to the many young people and members of the Rochester community who were planning to attend tomorrow, and we look forward to welcoming Ambassador Rice, who has graciously offered to speak to our organization in the coming months."

McKeiver forgot to add: if she is not indicted.

The chapter scrubbed any mention of Rice from its web site.

#1  GRAB of AAUW

wasn't Trump accused of using this slur gratuitously?

#2  Tip of the iceberg. Where is that popcorn ...?

#3  "the pending criminal investigation of Susan Rice for her role in Barack Obama's illegal espionage of President Trump."


Didn't know there was a pending criminal investigation that involved Rice and Obama. If true, it's about time. If that's the case, I'd say Susan Rice is most likely heading for Peru or French Polynesia.

#5  "...due to a ticketing error." Seriously?!

Trump Derangement Syndrome Alive and Well at Colgate University
[Daily Caller] A Colgate University program is advertising courses for the fall semester with a poster depicting a uniformed Vladimir Putin holding an illustration of President Donald Trump as a small child.

"Say what?" asks the advertisement posted by Colgate’s Russian and Eurasian Studies program. "For greater understanding, take a course in Russian & Eurasian Studies."

A student photographed the poster hanging on a bulletin board of Lawrence Hall at the private university in Hamilton, N.Y.

"I believe that this is yet another example of people, who are angered by the Trump victory, trying to further delegitimize him," the student, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "It’s a shame that these professors, making six-figure salaries, have to result to such better jabs in order to feel that they are accomplishing something."

#1  Taking a course in Russian & Eurasian Studies is a good idea (assuming - probably wrongly - it is an honest class); using a common current perception as a promotional tool is fine - assuming (again probably wrongly) it is considered a tool and not a given truth.

#2  Given the poster, i'd say it probably isn't an honest course.

MSNBC's O'Donnell: Putin 'Might Have Orchestrated' Syria Strike to Help Trump
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] We might need a new category, labeled "Cranks" or maybe "Dipshits."

#1  In my opinion I would hope some contact had occurred. Putin or any Russian leader will never give up on Syria. The radical mussy is the enemy of both countries. I believe the faith is organized terrorism myself as the Democrats have become.

#3  It was done to test Trump's reaction. Now they know they don't have another Obama.
