I heard he was aiming for one person; needed more range time.

All the way back when I was in college, locals used to try to crash campus parties and got the bum's rush. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that didn't devolve into a shooting situation these days.

Gang-banger drive-by, Islamic terrorist or FF operation by remnants of the DS?
As reported in a comment last evening by our own Anomolous Sources.
Goodness gracious — however did they ever find time to work?
[True Pundit] One America News Network is reporting that Andrew McCabe had an affair with his subordinate Lisa Page who was also reportedly having an affair with Peter Stzok.
The FBI love trio set out to destroy President Trump and Gen. Mike Flynn, according to the report.
All three FBI bosses ‐ or would-be lovebirds ‐ have been either fired from the FBI or removed and are targets of a newly-minted criminal probe targeting the FBI’s role in concocting the Russia collusion hoax.
McCabe was the boss of both Page and Strzok.
The new revelations take this unfolding saga to an entirely new level of bizarre.

I wouldn't be surprised if all 'never Trumpers' attended those goat-head parties with all o' them shucking their robes and shagging each other well into the night.
I sense a new, green renaissance approaching. Leave them alone, they'll do fine.

Welcome to the third world, where neighbors will set up their own neighborhood ad-hoc electric utilities and fire fighting volunteer brigades. HINT: use natural gas for your generators until the govt shuts it off. Stand watches for the CARB police.

Note to all millennials that think socialism is a great thing. CA is the example of a near socialist state. The power company is government run. The power is off because they failed to keep the lines maintained and the transformers up to date. A lot like Venezuela. The poor are filling the streets, homeless and now sick with disease. The rich are barricaded in their castles. And the working, tax paying, middle class are leaving. Vote for Bernie or warren, this is your future...

The Democrat plan for every state in the US. Centrist and right-wing news sites and channels should shout this out 24/7. Make this the only issue, louder than the lynching on in Washington, the elections, or Syria. Expose what happens if a liberal or libertarian fool plan is allowed.

Talked to my friend in Alamo, California today. He and his wife went to South Africa and Namibia to go hunting. Went well, but Namibia is in a SEVERE drought. Was gone for a month and came home and power outages caused freezers to fail and thaw in garage. Lots of game meat, salmon, ducks, geese thawed out. Smelled like some serial killer's garage. I told him to get a standby generator running on an emergency circuit to take care of the freezers, refrigerators, and some lights. Maybe 5 to 7 kw natural gas. There is a YUGE backlog of installations to go right now. Welcome to the turd world.

[Libya Observer] Tawergha General Hospital said on Friday it had received more than 150 new patients suffering from leishmaniasis, pointing out that the number of leishmaniasis cases in the city has exceeded 950 people.
For his part, Mayor of Tawergha, Abdul Rahman Al-Shakshak said in a press statement that the National Center for Disease Control had provided Tawergha Hospital with vaccines that are hardly sufficient to address the cases until the end of this month, calling on the Presidential Council to take a serious stand and concrete steps in order to curb the spread of leishmaniasis in the city.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Algeria’s election authority has registered 22 candidates for a December presidential election, including two former prime ministers under former president Abdelaziz Bouteflika ...10th president-for-life of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and served on his third or four terms. When he announced for the fifth, or maybe it was the sixth, visibly doddering, a grateful nation rose up in its wrath and threw him out... , the official APS agency reported on Sunday.
Former premiers Ali Benflis and Abdelmadjid Tebboune had submitted their candidacies for the December 12 vote before the deadline for nominations passed on Saturday.
Both are considered front-runners in an election which however is opposed by the mass protest movement that alongside the army forced Bouteflika to resign in April
Activists are demanding sweeping reforms before any vote takes place, and say Bouteflika-era figures still in power must not use the presidential poll as an opportunity to appoint his successor.
Polls originally planned for July 4 were postponed due to a lack of viable candidates. Observers are predicting a weak turnout in December.
Benflis, 75, served as premier under Bouteflika from 2000 to 2003.
After his dismissal, Benflis ran as Bouteflika’s main opponent in 2004 and 2014, coming a distant second both times as the president was re-elected with over 80 percent of the vote.
Tebboune, 73, was a senior civil servant before serving as a minister from the 1990s.
After Bouteflika assumed the presidency in 1999, Tebboune was minister of communication, obtaining further portfolios in 2002.
Bouteflika appointed him prime minister in May 2017 before sacking him less than three months later against a backdrop of factional fighting in government.
Other Bouteflika-era stalwarts are also running, including Azzedine Mihoubi, leader of the Democratic National Rally party (RND) which was the main ally of the former president’s party, and Islamist former tourism minister Abdelkader Bengrina.
[FRANCE24] Incumbent President Filipe Nyusi was declared the landslide winner in Mozambique's election this month, despite claims of widespread cheating, the electoral commission announced on Sunday.
Nyusi of the ruling Frelimo party scored 73 percent of the vote, ahead of Ossufo Momade of Renamo, the rebel group turned opposition party, with almost 22 percent, commission chairman Abdul Carimo told a press briefing.
Nyusi had been widely predicted to win, based on unofficial results from the October 15 vote, and Frelimo had already organised victory celebrations in the capital on Sunday.
"For this election, Frelimo worked hard and our candidate Filipe Nyusi worked hard to achieve these results," Frelimo member Veronica Macamo told AFP.
"All Mozambicans like him as a president," she added.
But last week Renamo urged the Mozambique people to reject the "massive electoral fraud" it claims took place during the polls.
It called for fresh elections, accusing the government of breaching a peace deal by using violence and intimidation on voting day.
Mozambican civil society and international observers have flagged numerous alleged attempts to stuff ballot boxes and chase away election monitors, as well as hundreds of thousands of so-called "ghost voters" on the electoral roll.
[Al Jazeera] Colombians are heading to the polls to elect regional politicians, provincial governors and mayors nationwide after several months of violence and threats against candidates.
Sunday's elections will be the first at the regional and local level since the signing of the controversial peace deal between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia FARC or FARC-EP, is either a Marxist-Leninist revolutionary guerrilla organization or a drug cartel based in Colombia. It claims to represent the rural poor in a struggle against Colombia's wealthier classes, and opposes United States influence in Colombia, neo-imperialism, monopolization of natural resources by multinational corporations, and the usual raft of complaints. It funds itself principally through ransom kidnappings, taxation of the drug trade, extortion, shakedowns, and donations. It has lately begun calling itself Bolivarian and is greatly admired by Venezuela's President-for-Life Chavez, who seemingly fantasizes about living in the woods and kidnapping people himself. He provides FARC with safe areas along the border. (FARC) in 2016, which ended a bloody 52-year long conflict.
"This is the first local election after the peace agreement, so it's very important for peace-building, especially in the most peripheral territories," said Yann Basset, a political science professor at Rosario University.

[PULSE.NG] Bolivia's President Evo Morales claimed on Sunday his political rivals were "preparing" a coup d'etat next week as strike action and protests against his controversial reelection continued.
[The Hill] Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) admitted Friday that his stance toward China was wrong.
Gingrich told Hill.TV that like many conservatives at the time, he was initially in favor of the country joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, but argued that China gradually started playing by different rules that were "driven by fundamentally different beliefs than we thought they were."
"We thought getting them into a rules-based system would gradually permeate their culture and that’d be a big step in the right direction ‐ that was all wrong," Gingrich, who served as House Speaker in the 1990s, told Hill.TV. "The Chinese, in fact, decided to corrupt the WTO rather than be changed by it."
Gingrich said it was this realization on China’s approach to trade that served as the inspiration behind his new book, "Trump vs. China: America’s Greatest Challenge."
"I decided I really wanted to put together a book ‐ partly for myself ‐ but also because I thought it was useful to have somebody who had been part of the consensus on China to say, ’Wait a second, here’s what went wrong, here’s people like me to change their opinions and this is how big the challenge is going to be,' " he said.
The conservative figure also expressed confidence in Trump’s ability to reach a trade deal with China, predicting that the president will refocus his attention on the issue if re-elected.
"I have every confidence about the year two or three of his next term he’ll be right back at the Chinese again," he told Hill.TV.

This is significant.
A member of the Uniparty admitting he was wr-...
uh, wro-.... [darnit! can't quite get the word out!]
EFFING WRONG about the central postulate of the 30+ year reign of foolish Globalism.
No, Virginia, there is no Democracy Fairy that will magically transform the world's oldest, proudly non-democratic, anti-Western cultures (Chinese, Persian, Russian) into Norman Rockwell pictures of New England town halls.
Clue: They don't want to be like us - except in the sense that we're very rich and very powerful.
Clue #2: wealth & power to them are part of a zero-sum game.
In their reading of the last 80 years, we gained at their expense. They now believe it's their turn to gain - at our expense.
They don't believe in "win-win." Doesn't translate into mandarin, Farsi or russkii.

Sam Huntington told youze.
But ya didn't listen. How you tried to set them free...
How you suffered for your sanity..
They did not listen - they did not know how...
Perhaps they'll listen... now.... tra-la-la

getting them into a rules-based system would gradually permeate their culture
The hubris inherent in this attitude is clearly amazing.
As far as term limits go, the one big down side is that it would increase the power of the bureaucrats as they'd be the only source of institutional memory.
I'm coming around to the idea that the first thing that needs to be done is a total revamp of the Civil Service system.

They don't want to be like us. They sneer at our concepts of human rights. They guffaw at our stupid Hollywood movies. They have nothing but contempt for our identity politics.
History did not end in 1991. To the Chinese, Persians and Russians, it has never ended.
Their histories are long, as are their memories, and unlike us, they are not impatient people. "Winter will come."

It's the typical embarrassing naivete only an academic can master and wield like a club. In that sense, Newt was just doing the same harm on the legislative side that people like Rice (Condi and Susan) and Samantha Powell did on the NatSec side. The only academics who have ever on balance done more good than harm in our government are Kissinger (almost a break even, could tilt either way) and George Kennan (more like this one please.)

WASHINGTON (AP) ‐ President Donald Trump’s low-profile appearance Sunday night at Game 5 of the World Series came at a high-profile moment of his presidency. Yet he still drew loud boos and jeers when introduced to the crowd.
Wearing a dark suit and a tie, Trump arrived at Nationals Park just before the first pitch of the Houston Astros-Washington Nationals matchup. Hours earlier, he had announced that U.S. forces had assaulted the hiding place of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed in the raid in northeast Syria.
A military success against a most-wanted enemy of the U.S. and its allies could have provided the president a rare moment of bipartisan comity, especially amid a divisive impeachment inquiry.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump entered a lower-tier box to the left of home plate as the game got underweay. At that point his presence wasn’t formally announced, but baseball fans in the section just below Trump’s suite turned to look toward the box as he arrived. Some waved at the president as he smiled and gave a thumbs-up.
At the end of the third inning, ballpark video screens carried a salute to U.S. service members that drew cheers throughout the stadium. When the video cut to Trump and his entourage and the loudspeakers announced the Trumps, cheers abruptly turned into a torrent of boos and heckling. Chants of "Lock him up!" broke out in some sections.

F--- these people.
I have nothing but contempt for those who would politicize the World Seies and openly disrespect the nation's president when he Honors this national event with his presence.
Landslide 2020 = the best revenge. Get out the vote next November.
