[PJMedia] Just a heads up if you are one of the many who together donated over $13 million to the effort, dear Reader, and if PJ Media is not one of your regular stops. Continued on Page 47

...my guess, the nexus would indicate that GoFundMe may have an internal problem, either plainly very poor automation security or its an inside job. Given the number of breaches in corporations in the past few years, you bet the credit card companies are doing their damnedest to prevent repeats. That would imply the breach has to go back to the point of centralization.

Good. Maybe it'll teach those Carbon Criminals with their primitive kerosene-powered rockets a lesson about how important it is to protect the atmosphere.
[Red State] One would think it is rather cut-and-dried. Article 6 of the US Constitution reads, in part:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
This is not all that hard to understand. But, for progressive Democrats, an orthodox Christian causes a reaction much like Lucifer coming into contact with Holy Water. When Amy Coney Barrett was being grilled by Dianne Feinstein at what was supposed to be a confirmation hearing but looked more like an atheist auto-da-fé, there was this remarkable exchange.
When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for for years in this country.

[The Hill] Call it the tranquil shutdown. As the government careened toward a partial closure Friday night, lawmakers in both parties did a peculiar thing: they started heading home.
The absence of urgency ‐ and the utter disregard for the bad optics of conceding failure before the clock ran out ‐ strikes a sharp contrast with spending impasses of the past.
Previous debates were marked by a fierce scramble to find agreement right up to the deadline ‐ complete with marathon midnight meetings and wee-hour floor votes ‐ followed by hours or days of frantic negotiations to reopen the government, if only as a public demonstration of congressional competence.
Not this time.
As roughly a quarter of the federal government went dark at midnight Friday, there were few signs of life in the Capitol. The halls echoed with emptiness as leaders in both parties had departed hours before and many rank-and-file lawmakers were already on planes back home for the December holidays.

The troops will be paid. From An Nahar yesterday:
About three-quarters of the government, including the military and the Department of Health and Human Services, is fully funded until the end of September 2019, leaving 25 percent unfunded as of Saturday.
Most NASA employees will be sent home, as will Commerce Department workers and many at the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, Agriculture and State.
National parks will remain open, but most park staff will stay home while Washington is unable to accomplish one of its most basic tasks -- keeping the government up and running.
[The Hill] Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Saturday called for congressional salaries to be furloughed during the next government shutdown.
Roughly a quarter of federal agencies closed when Congress failed to meet a midnight funding deadline on Friday. Lawmakers arrived Saturday at the Capitol as congressional negotiators try to find a path forward on a deal to end the funding lapse.
"It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
"Have some integrity," she added, calling for salaries to be furloughed for the next shutdown.

She is right, but I would stop their pay until they pass an actual real budget, not these COR. Do your real job schmucks or no money for you. And no breaks either. Hell, we should start fining them as well. $10,000/day sounds right. Paid toward the debt.

Next constitution, in the legislative section, decree that if appropriations for the following year are not passed by the fiscal year end date, all members of congress are barred from elected or appointed government positions for 10 years. You better believe they'll get it done with a lot of compromising regardless of party.

She is an idiot, but like stopped clock getting the time right twice a day, she is right on this one.

Anyone even leftist can observe an unfortunate situation, the problem is that the left's "solutions" are worse than the problem itself and caused by their deep ignorance/dunning kruger problems.
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.
