Lee Hart dies at 85: The betrayed wife stood by her husband Gary Hart as his 1987 presidential campaign collapsed when his affair with model Donna Rice was exposed and they remained together until the end

#1  Back when there were still real liberals in the party and had a traditional concept of conscience. Talk about ancient history.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 04/12/2021 7:41 Comments || Top||

#2  He didn't have an affair with Donna Rice. That story was just the least worst alternative to having to explain the phone call from his senate office to a very specific location in Grenada immediately after his committee was briefed about the immanent invasion shortly after midnight.

At that point the 82nd and Rangers were in the air, it being surmised by the Reagan administration correctly that they couldn't trust senators and their staff with classified information. After said phone call a Soviet style anti aircraft quad 12.7 was moved.

For the first time in 18 months.

In the middle of the night.

Thus pouring fire into the first C 141 and causing the remainder to wave off and come back in at 400'. Oh, the first sticks of Rangers were also stranded in place until the aircraft coordinated and came back around.

Gary Hart? That's only the tip of a very brown iceberg.

#9  #7 The piece refers to the study commissioned by the group that was led by Hart, the Senate's "military reform" caucus. They asked Michael Lind to prepare the report that Dan Bolger* analyzed and critiqued superbly in this paper.

FYI "military reform" was Hart's #1 issue during his career. It was touted in the early 1980s by what was called the "neoliberal" wing of the Democratic Party. That movement, the precursor to Clinton and Tony Blair's "Third Way" politics of the 1990s, produced a new generation of Democratic politicians who rejected the old union-based leadership-- Ivy League educated young centrists such as Senators Bill Bradley, Al Gore, Paul Tsongas and centrist governors such as Birch Bayh, Mike Dukakis and Bill Clinton.

* Dan Bolger is today a superb teacher and professor of Soviet and Russian History at NC State. Delighted to find this superb analysis by a young ex-paratrooper and U Chicago grad student who went on have a distinguished career as a scholar and teacher.

Thank you, Skidmark!

#13  Though no specific sources were given for the report, Lind remarked that he had garnered much of his information from paying close attention at various officers’ clubs. Sounds like ease dropping, or espionage.
There were issues, some big. Comms was terrible, the 82d had their combat CEOI locked in the safe so they went with the training one. Services had issues communicating as well. With that we must remember the US military was less than 10 years out of Viet-Nam. We had not invaded in a combined Arms effort in a long time. The military was going through a transformation, Blackhawks were relatively new and we had stableator issues causing a two aircraft crash. All things considered, it was very successful. It could have been worse. We learned a lot from this event, lessons that carried into the Gulf War.

#14  Well g(r)omgoru, I sincerely doubt I can tell you anything that will suffice. It certainly would not for me from some guy in internet discussion.

As generically as I can put it, I heard from 4 discreet individual sources that that this was the case. This was post invasion and prior to the senator's unhappy boating trip. 1-3 specifically mentioned the post briefing, post midnight call to Grenada. They also mentioned he was being offered a way out, just as long as out really meant out.

The 4th had knowledge through a boyfriend of the way out, kinetic aspect of the deal but was uninterested in the which of the why of it all.

To my knowledge and the way they all stated it none were involved, and professionally would not have had any reason. But from my acquaintance it was credible that 1-3 would know about this kind of thing at the time. 4 was a complete outlier, somebody I grew up with who was unaware of the Grenada aspect and although fragmented the rest of her story dove tailed with the first 3.

What I cannot do is put you there in the moment or provide longer relationships with any of these people that might remotely provide credibility to what they said. Large parts of what they said, including specific verbiage came very much to pass, in very much the way they had said it would.

#18  Hillary Clinton is a very-multi multimillionaire or billionaire, and has worked as a senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate while her husband, the former president, arranged speaking engagements and meetings for both of them... not to mention overly lucrative work for their more moderately talented daughter. Ms Clinton has been amply recompensed for standing by her man.

UN Ambassador's Acting Chief of Staff Has Her Security Clearance Revoked
[Red State] In a little-noticed story that broke on Friday night, it was reported that Jennifer Davis, Chief of Staff to UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield (pictured above), has been reassigned because her security clearance was revoked.

According to the Politico article, Davis is a career foreign service officer, having worked for 18 years in the State Department with previous assignments in Mexico, Turkey, and Colombia.

The decision to revoke Davis’s clearance came after a three-year administrative investigation conducted by the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which conducts security background investigations to assess whether an individual should have access to classified information.

Davis "strongly contests the determination" and is "going to aggressively appeal this decision as quickly as possible," a person close to her said.


According to Politico, the issue involves an interview Davis gave to a reporter, Amberin Zaman of the Middle Eastern-focused news outlet Al-Monitor. At the time Davis was serving as General Counsel in the US Embassy in Istanbul, and one subject in the interview involved questions about US officials in Turkey being "hassled and detained" by Turkish government authorities. In his article, Zaman called it a pressure campaign that would likely cause the United States to prevent Turkish government officials from visiting the U.S. in the future. Zaman reported that a list of officials likely to be affected had already been drafted, and in doing so he cited "sources close to the Donald Trump administration."

Davis has apparently acknowledged that the reference is to her, as she has claimed through a third party speaking on her behalf that the information given to Zaman was not at all sensitive at the time, and was declassified soon after her discussion with the reporter.

Unfortunately, that acknowledgment contains two subjective judgments that were not hers to make — as to the level of "sensitivity" about the information given to a reporter, and that there was no harm in sharing it because it was thereafter declassified.

It was either "sensitive" or "not sensitive," and that was not a judgment for her to make. And by her own admission, it was classified at the time she disclosed it to the reporter.

The fact that it was later declassified is irrelevant. The only relevant consideration is that she cannot be trusted with knowledge of classified information because she has demonstrated a willingness to substitute her judgment on disclosure for the judgment of the classifying authority which classified the information to begin with. That is a red-line over which persons with security clearances are to not cross.

Davis had been serving in the position informally as Acting Chief of Staff, but Politico’s story says she has been doing so without a security clearance which had been revoked at some point earlier. Without the clearance, Davis has not been able to work in the Ambassador’s Office and has been working from her home instead. The existence of the security investigation against her had prevented her from formally being hired into the position until the matter was resolved and her security clearance restored. But it appears now that the revocation is final — subject to her right to appeal — and that finality led her to stop working for the Ambassador even in a limited role early last week.

Zuckerberg group gave Detroit $7.4 million to 'dramatically' expand vote in city key to Biden win
[Just The News] The Center for Tech and Civil Life (CTCL), a voter advocacy group funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, donated $7.4 million last year to Detroit to, among other things, "dramatically expand strategic voter education and outreach" in a blue city key to Joe Biden's 2020 election win, according to memos obtained by Just the News under an open records request.

Detroit received three grants in 2020 from CTCL for $200,000, $3,512,000, and $3,724,450, according to the records released under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The reach of Zuckerburg's money has created a backlash in some GOP states like Georgia and Arizona, where lawmakers have moved since November to ban private money from being donated to election administrators.

Phill Kline, head of the nonprofit Amistad Project, which has contested private financing of election administration in several states, said the Detroit memos show another instance in which Zuckerberg money was allowed to influence a key battleground during the 2020 election.

"The records obtained in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan show the Zuckerberg monies were used to buy off government officials dictating the manner in which the election was conducted and using government to target Democrat strongholds to turn out the vote for Mr. Biden," Kline said. "Such action is wrong, unlawful and dramatically undermined the integrity of the 2020 election. We must not let a shadow government run our elections to the benefit of favored candidates and political parties."

The amount augmented by more than half the city's $13 million election budget, and dwarfed it the $6.3 million in grants that CTCL gave five Wisconsin cities, a series of donations that has generated accusations that private money was wrongly used to influence state and local election judges and administrators.

#4  Why spend so much?

It is just a little walking around money. Elections don't buy themselves after all, and this one had a lot of moving parts who all want to get paid.

I would not expect much from Antifa in Detroit. The currently established grifters are much too well entrenched. The one Antifa action I know about was quickly quashed by the city police.

This is the same Detroit that was unable to do a recount after the 2016 election due to some 60% of the precincts sampled having fatal discrepancies between the number of votes recorded and the actual number of ballots.

Biden to name former NSA deputy director to lead CISA: report
[FoxNews] John C. Inglis, the former deputy director of the National Security Agency, is expected to be tapped by President Biden to head the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency, according to a report late Sunday.

The Washington Post reported that the post is a White House position. The paper said Inglis, who spent eight years in the position at the NSA, is expected to be confirmed with ease. The position was created at the end of last year and will likely have to face growing security threats posed by foreign actors.

The expected Monday announcement comes weeks after reports surfaced that suspected Russian hackers gained access to government email accounts, including one belonging to former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, the Associated Press reported. The accounts were accessed by what is known as the SolarWinds intrusion.

An inquiry by the AP found new details about the breach at DHS and other agencies, including the Energy Department, where hackers accessed top officials’ schedules. At least nine federal agencies were hacked, along with dozens of private-sector companies.

Congress to hold historic vote on slavery reparations bills next week amid movement's increasing success at state and local levels
More House kabuki for the rubes. Even if the House bill is passed, nothing will happen unless Senator Chuck Schumer can find a majority in the Senate.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Democrat-led House of Representatives to consider bill studying reparations

  • The bill was first introduced more than 30 years ago but never advanced
    So hoary rather than historic. Yay.
  • Move is aimed at possibly repaying descendants of slavery in America

  • House Judiciary Committee to debate bill for the first time on Wednesday

  • Move was announced by committee chairman House Rep. Jerrold Nadler

  • President Biden has expressed support for creating the commission

QUESTIONS:

Since the US CONGRESS was the one that legalized Slavery. Shouldn't members of Congress be the ones that pay the Reparation IF Passed?

If Reparations become a Taxpayer paid benefit and since Black-African America Community pays taxes. Wouldn't they be paying their own Taxes?

Using the 40 Ac and a working mule illegally made promise, by a UNION General (Sherman), that equaled $355.00 in 1865 according to newspaper records. Adjusting for Inflation that would equal about $5,500.00 in 2020 US Dollars. That $5,500.00 being a payment for wrongs to a person done 160+ years ago, would be DIVIDED among living ancestry of those that could provide their GREAT GREAT Grandparents was a former Slave.

Also should the already 500,000 +/- free prior to 1860 slaves, in Northern and Southern states be covered by reparations at all, since they were already free?

Should persons who immigrated here after 1865 be taxed to cover something they had no part in?

How will the SCOTUS legally rule the taxation of every race except those with African Slavery Ancestry?

Why should the family decadents members of the Union Military of the 2,128,948 that fought and/or died to abolish slavery between 1861-1865 be required to contribute to the Reparation Tax?

That payment would ONLY be for those AFRICAN Imported Slaves NOT all Black Americans. NOT for those arriving after 1865.
So roughly 4% to 6% of the Black Community might qualify.

Now the question proving you are of a AFRICAN SLAVE Bloodline.

Note: I have about 25 more than listed here. That I wrote years ago in a article to tick off Race Baiting Liberals.
