[KausFiles] Alabama Mad: Before Tuesday’s Alaabama Republican senatorial primary, Chamber of Commerce strategist Scott Reed said his organization had gone "all in" for incumbent Luther Strange in order to "remind [populist ex-Trump aide Stephen] Bannon who’s in charge,"
Mission Accomplished! The Chamber’s candidate lost in a 55-45 rout to Bannon’s candidate, Roy Moore, a former judge once regarded as too much of a religious zealot to make it all the way to the U.S. Senate.
Here are 5 reasons why this outcome is significant, not counting the obvious one (GOP primary voters were PO’d at what Reed boasted was the "governing wing of the party"‐ i.e. the GOP Establishment). Thence the 5 reasons.

[Daily Beast] Sen. Bob Corker announced Tuesday he will not seek re-election in 2018. "After much thought, consideration and family discussion over the past year, Elizabeth and I have decided that I will leave the United States Senate when my term expires at the end of 2018," the Republican senator said in a statement. "When I ran for the Senate in 2006, I told people that I couldn’t imagine serving for more than two terms.
Understandably, as we have gained influence, that decision has become more difficult. But I have always been drawn to the citizen legislator model, and while I realize it is not for everyone, I believe with the kind of service I provide, it is the right one for me." Corker, a two-term senator who currently chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been a vocal critic of President Trump and potentially faced an electoral threat from the right. Last month, Corker told reporters that the president has yet to show the "stability" or "competence" necessary to be a successful leader. "He also recently has not demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation," the senator added.

Hillary Clinton said Monday on Bloomberg News that President Donald Trump has "tendencies toward authoritarianism," adding that she hopes he has not "ordered the killing of people and journalists" as Russian President Vladimir Putin has been accused of doing.
During a conversation with Charlie Rose, she compared Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose relationship with Trump has particularly drawn scrutiny from Democrats and the media. Clinton discussed her ideas on Trump's view of democracy, saying she "hopes" the president is not exactly like Putin in every way.
"I don’t think he really values democracy, Charlie," Clinton said.
"He doesn’t value democracy? Rose asked. "So he’s not a ’democrat,’ little ’d?'"
Clinton replied, "No, he’s not, he’s a top-down guy."
"He’s an authoritarian?" Rose asked.
"He has tendencies toward authoritarianism," Clinton answered.
"So, he’s no different than Putin?" Rose asked.
Clinton did not say Trump was different from the Russian autocrat, instead saying he "hopefully" does not commit the same crimes as Putin.
"Well, hopefully he hasn’t ordered the killing of people and journalists and the like," Clinton replied.
Project much?

Why would someone suspect that other people who she does not know well kill people?
Is she perhaps familiar with the idea from her own experience?
Do you often think of politicians and entertainers and others as murderers? Do you often charge political adversaries with killing?
Why does she do this?

A separate category I suppose, but the list above does not include the four slain in Benghazi.

Yep - weapons grade projection here. Leave it to Charlie Rose, hyper-partisan Democrat, to allow Clinton to say shit like this without any pushback whatsoever.
[Wash Times] Photos of a West Point alumnus holding a pro-Colin Kaepernick "Communism Will Win" sign while in uniform is riling up the military community.
Images of U.S. infantry Officer Spenser Rapone reached a popular military news site on Tuesday and set off a robust debate on NFL national anthem protests, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback that started it all in 2016, and the shock of seeing an unapologetic communist from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
"I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Colin Kaepernick wasn’t protesting in favor of communism. #ThatGuy," wrote "Doctrine Man," the moderator of a well-known Facebook page frequented by active military personnel and veterans.
Readers were shocked to see Mr. Rapone, whose Twitter handle is "Commie Bebop," raising a clenched fist in support of Mr. Kapernick; another photo featured the officer revealing a Che Guevara shirt under his uniform. Appears the West Point enlisted RACE (the Rapid Application Completion Exercise) program may have suffered a hiccup.

TAH brought this up this morning. I felt no need to post it as he is in Ranger School and this will go over like a fart in church. But Screw him anyways.
Never, ever let commies lead your Children into battle.
No greater lack of Character or Courage can be faound than those that accept that bullshit as a "system".

IIRC his photos evidence at least one UMCJ violation.
Reality hit him in the face during Afghan ops and he wanted out. But he took the oath and this is a lousy way to attempt it, if he had any honor or self-respect.
Gaming the system. And lovin' on Colin K. who not only adores Fidel but is a Muslim convert, one hears. Hoping for money, attention, and an easier job from someone on the left, especially if it gets him a lot more money and attention ....
#13
I'd say ship him off to Afghanistan but if he's gonna be an infantry officer responsible for the lives of good soldiers that won't do. There must be some other highly undesirable post where he can serve out his four year hitch.

Abu, the Army got anything equivalent to the Navy's scraping of barnacles? ...how about keel hauling?

He likes communism and silent messaging. Let him complete Ranger w/o graduation. Issue him a set of earplugs and assign him to the office of the Defense Attache, US Embassy Havana while his case is pending AR 15-6 investigation.

CO Beach Clean-Up Detail at Diego Garcia?
IIRC, the US Army used to stash problem people in the Canal Zone and Gum (Sorry, Joe!) back in the Ye Olde Days.

Apparently dad is not pleased. This, along with the NFL fiasco combined with the Hollywood meltdown has focused the silent majority in a way not seen in my lifetime.

Send him to work on the staff of the US Embassy in Zimbabwe so he can endure the glories of communism (since we don't have an Embassy in North Korea).
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.
