[PJ] The government lied, "framed," hid favorable evidence, and showed "contempt for the law at every turn" in their treatment of Michael Flynn, the retired three-star Army general and former Trump White House national security adviser.
Those charges were contained in a new filing in the government's case against Flynn. And his attorney, Sidney Powell, was just getting started.
In the 27-page-filing, an add-on to her previous motions, Powell demanded charges be dropped against Flynn based on previously withheld exculpatory documents by the government and the IG report on FISA abuse.
The net result was that federal prosecutors publicly considered, for the first time, that Flynn would get no jail time and instead be put on probation for his previous guilty plea in what we now know was the beginning of the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" operation against the Trump White House.
Powell asserted that Flynn was innocent, claiming the "IG Report is replete with exculpatory information that, had it been know to Mr. Flynn, he never would have pled guilty."

I dunno. What with one thing and another, a couple involving my family, I'm not sure I'd trust any prosecutor any time about anything.
I think I'd vote to acquit irrespective of the case presented. Hate to send an innocent person to jail.

The deep state cabals at senior levels of State, CIA and the Bureau needed to do him urgently because of what he knew from his time at the helm of DIA. This was a wicked and evil abuse of power and they did everything they could to ruin him and intimidate his family to silence him. He needs restitution and a chance to tell what he knows after declassifying enough so that Brennan. Rice and ValJar are revealed for the evil they did.
[Townhall] While many in the media are becoming more aware of the growing threat of human trafficking, they rarely cover the connection between sexual slavery and abortion. But a new documentary is doing just that.
Blind Eyes Opened: The Truth about Sex Trafficking in America opened with a limited release in theaters on January 23, and is now showing at local locations nationwide. The Christian documentary "dives deep into the sex trafficking industry in the U.S." and features politicians, law enforcement, and experts in an effort to inform the American public.
Corporal Alan Wilkett of Pasco County Sheriff's Office in Florida begins the documentary with some startling numbers. Citing the United Nations, he stressed that human trafficking enslaves an estimated 27 million people globally.
The United States, he added, is "one of the largest consumers of human trafficking."
Abortion only helps hide the abuse, according to pro-life leaders. In the middle of the film, Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director turned pro-life advocate, examined the link between trafficking and abortion.
"People ask me all the time about, you know, connections between the abortion industry and sex trafficking and, you know, providing a safe haven for these abusers, which I absolutely believe that we did that while I worked in the abortion industry at Planned Parenthood," Johnson revealed.
Arina O. Grossu, the former director of the Family Research Council’s Center for Human Dignity also chimed in.
"These poor women, sometimes they have 10-12 buyers a day. Some have reported up to 50 buyers a day," Grossu stressed. "And so, there’s a higher risk of getting pregnant and then the pimps are not interested in saving their children."
[American Thinker] Once in a while, I visit with Bob Jagers, author and D-Day veteran. I enjoy the war stories and the memories of a 99-year-old man who was present on that fateful day from World War II.
Not long ago, we spoke about Glenn Miller. He said that his three favorite things back then were getting a letter from his girl and eventual wife, baseball news about his favorite Detroit Tigers, and catching Glenn Miller's music on the radio.
We remember that Glenn Miller was born in Iowa on this day in 1904. He tragically disappeared over the English Channel December 1944. His plane was lost en route to Paris, where he was going to play for the troops who had just liberated France.
We don't know much about his disappearance, but there are some reports that his small plane may have been hit by RAF bombers dropping their bombs into the waters of channel, or the "friendly fire theory." In other words, Miller may have been at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Glenn Miller's influence went beyond music, as any veteran from that period will tell you. He was too old to be drafted at 38, but he joined the service anyway.
Miller made a huge difference in the life and times of G.I.s far away and desperately looking for some connection with the homeland.

Millers plane is the only one of that type unaccounted for. News report last year discussed some fisherman who pulled a single engine wreck ip in their nets, then cut it loose. Evidently there was some identifying characteristics leading some to believe it was Millers. I believe fund raising is in play fora diveteam.
Love his music
Two members of a Royal Air Force bomber crew in World War II believe they can explain one of the unsolved mysteries of the war: the disappearance of the band leader Glenn Miller. The two say they fear the band leader's plane was downed over the English Channel by bombs jettisoned from their own plane as they returned from an aborted mission.
The two - the navigator and pilot - said their four-engine Lancaster bomber was one of some 150 returning from an aborted mission on Dec. 15, l944 - the same day Mr. Miller took off in bad weather from an airfield near Bedford, England, on a flight to Paris, where he was to give a show. The two R.A.F. crewmen said that after the jettisoned bombs exploded, they saw a Norseman aircraft fall into the sea below them, apparently knocked out of the sky by shock waves. The plane carrying Mr. Miller, who was then a Major in the Army and leader of the Army Air Force band, was a Norseman D-64.
[TAKIMAG] The president’s executive order starts from what seems to me an indisputable premise, that much if not most of the federal building carried out in the past half century has been at best undistinguished and at worst hideous. But in the 1930s and even later, federal buildings that were (and will always be) a great adornment to the city, such as the Supreme Court and the Jefferson Memorial, were built. And it is not possible that what was possible then should not be possible now.
According to the executive order, classical architecture that takes its inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome symbolizes the American founding aspiration toward democracy and the rule of law. Critics point out that both were slave societies, says the professor, and indeed that the slave-owners in the Southern states of America built neoclassical mansions on their plantations. I think both arguments miss the point, though simply to reject the classical world because it was slave-owning is to deny its other and longer-lasting legacy, and would also‐in logic‐be to reject the founding of the American republic because some of the American founding fathers were slave-owners (and not a woman among them). History is, or ought to be, more than the backward projection of our current moral enthusiasms or obsessions.
Moreover, modernism and its successors are much more tainted by fascist

Naturally, the architects hate it. They suffer no limits or bounds. Add them to the media/Democrats, and there should be quite a storm.

They suffer no limits or bounds. Add them to the media/Democrats, and there should be quite a storm. I very much disagree. After 5 years in architecture/engineering school and 40 plus years practicing both if limits are placed on design we would wind up like the architecture od the old Soviet Union or the Nazi system. If a design is submitted it doesn't have to be accepted but with limits imposed everything winds up looking alike. There would be no inovation.

[CNBC] Todd Baldwin’s net worth crossed $1 million when he was 25.
Today, at 27, he brings in $615,000 annually ($305,000 after business expenses) thanks to a mix of income from rental properties, his day job working in commercial insurance sales and the extra cash he makes as a secret shopper.
The majority of his revenue comes from the six rental properties that he owns with his wife, Angela: They earn $460,000 per year in rent. After expenses, including mortgage payments, taxes, insurance and utilities, they keep about $150,000 of that per year.
"Although our net worth is seven figures, we don’t do a lot of the typical things that most people envision millionaires doing. We are super frugal," says Baldwin, who wears a $12 rubber wedding band and shares a 2009 Ford Focus with his wife. Because he keeps his expenses so low, he’s able to save more than 80% of his take-home pay.

The wealthiest guy I've ever met (read B$+) started out life as an itinerant cowboy. Understood that land made the man.
Ended up owning property that was to have a future city or three on the SF Peninsula. Bought it in the 1930's. Leased the land out until he retired, then sold for astronomical sums.
Passed away in the late-1960's. A really really good guy.

[Kurt at Town Hall] - You would have thought that the vibe at CPAC this year would involve stressing about our November election prospects, but even as the market dipped over the coronavirus scare the general consensus was that whether we face Vermont Stalin or that miserable monied midget, we got this.
The common image of conservatives is one of dour pessimism, but that is less due to some inherent doom-mongering on the right than to the decades of failure by Conservative Inc. Under the wise, steady guidance of our establishment betters, all we did was lose, but Donald Trump gave the cons a taste of winning, and they like it. At CPAC, you could feel the excitement. In contrast, just down the road, the Losercon remnants held their "National Summit on Principled Conservatism," oblivious of the fact that if you abuse yourself with too much principled conservativing you will go blind.
...It is not a bad idea to take your opponents seriously, and anyone who gets a major party nomination can theoretically win. But if you look at someone like Bernie Sanders, a crusty anti-American weirdo who wants to take your money and give it to his doofus supporters, and you have to imagine that next year at CPAC, with Trump safely re-elected and the House back in our hands, we will be wondering what the hell the Democrats were thinking nominating Marxist Mondale.
Lots of Dem-leaning voters fashionably despise the president and enjoy their progressive posing, but Sanders actually believes the nonsense he’s spewing. He totally would take their doctors and SUVs, jack up their taxes, and hand them the bill for other people’s kids’ Oppression Studies degrees. Liberalism is all fine and dandy with them until they have to actually live it. Get ready for even more secret Trump voters as folks with fading "I’m With Her" stickers on their Teslas walk into the voting booth with their still-strong 401(k) numbers on their minds and flip the lever for The Donald.
...Those folks probably would have been perfectly happy to submit to the furry shackles of the soft fascism of Soda-Banning Frodo. Bloomberg would keep their status and wealth intact and if the price is their freedom, well, okay. Some people are just pathetic submissives. And they might have the chance to sell out their liberty for a little fake security because the Democrat establishment totally gets that Sanders is not only a loser at the top of the ticket but his gooey commie ichor will trickle down defeat all the way to the bottom of the ballot. So, mark my words - they are going to try to steal the nomination that Sanders is winning fair and square and toss it to the tiny tycoon who will open his massive wallet and make it rain to make that happen. China favored candidate
Yes, they are trying everything they can to derail the Trump Train. We’ve seen RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA 2.0 happen and then quickly unhappen. There’s the ridiculous attempt to blame Trump for the coronavirus, as if he went to China to make the locals slurp bat soup and lick pangolins. The pandemic meme won’t pan out. In a couple of months we will likely have forgotten it and moved on to new hyped-up atrocities. In the meantime, Trump will be getting us out of Afghanistan, a move the Dems will denounce because of Trump’s magical power to make liberals even stupider.
The 2020 vibe is good. We’re winning. We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Instead, we should run up the score and send Nancy Pelosi back to Scat Francisco for good.

Does anyone else remember the Hillary Care laws that Clinton tried to pass?
The biggest explosion came when people realized that this meant government control of doctors as in how many there could be in each specialty and how many could graduate and how much they would get paid.
You never hear about that with Bernie's plan but I figure that all that s#it is in there and I never see anyone questioning it.

Just take into account - Trump is not the Stupid Party. He also plays the game from the same playbook the Donks have used for decades and is not 'shamed' to play that game.
[SultanKnish] Early Saturday morning, a bearded perpetrator in a hooded jacket, wearing gloves, smashed the glass door and windows of the Humboldt Republican headquarters with rocks. He poured an unknown liquid into the storefront office before escaping on a bike into the streets of Eureka in the pre-dawn hours.
There was one obvious clue. The bike had a giant BERNIE sticker on it.
One would snicker, but the tale continues...
When police caught up to the alleged perpetrator, Michael Valls
Lost Coast Outpost has a photo of the miscreant here.
attempted to escape on his bike, then he tried throwing the bike at the cops, and, when he was finally taken into custody, gave authorities a false name.

[NationalReview] Donald Trump has at least five strong historical arguments for his reelection.
One, he is an incumbent. Incumbent presidents have won 14 of 19 reelection bids since 1900.
The few who lost did not enjoy positive approval ratings. In a Gallup poll from earlier this month, Trump enjoyed his highest approval rating since his inauguration, squeezing out a 49 percent favorable rating vs. 50 percent unfavorable.

The actual Truth is: The Donks face a Trump Landslide. Get used to it. You can smell it in the air.
We are going to rip your lungs out and spit down the hole.. Obama sure turned out to be the Messiah,the Smartest man in the room, didn't he? Where is his "Legacy" now?
You figure it out. What is the Donk Future worth ? What will the Midterm Elections give Trump? What are Pelosi and Schumer's Job prospects ? Think hard....Spit.

Don't. Get. Cocky. I've seen the GOP pull defeat out of the jaws of victory too many times. We (the people) expect, nay deserve, 110% commitment to the mission until the polls close.

Well, some of the Y2K issues were averted by actually updating the coding. Yeah, there was hype. Expect nothing less than dooms day from the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises. However had they done nothing you probably would not have liked living in interesting times.
Dr. Shawn Smith, PsyD, summarizes his book (The Tactical Guide to Women: How Men Can Manage Risk in Dating and Marriage) and discusses the powerful idea of a driving mission that men need to have to function well and find fulfillment and the sobering idea of resentment as a roadblock to personal development.
Please share this with young single men you know. Either send it to them or repost it where they'll see it.

Just don't date. That's the current trend in the industrialized world. Just look at birth rates. Just look at single households. Men have not changed. Women have. Poor women have children. Say three but from three different men. Child support and refunds they are making the bucks. I know several women 13-15 thousand in refunds. On food stamps also.

book has a Christian perspective on the subject
personally I think a man who is thinking of marriage should date at least one feminist at least once; maybe it will be to his taste, maybe not
and there are all kinds of feminists; some are more into widening opportunities for both genders (e.g., we need more female welders and more male nurses) others are horrible people with little intellectual honesty and no manners

When you speak of Feminists, there are 4 waves of feminist. I think most folks on this board would have no issue with those from the first 2 waves.
I'm not sure about the 3rd but the 4th wave is batty, that's the modern one that we're talking about here.

Videos very often don’t show up in posts when first published — a quirk in Rantburg’s code. All it takes is a passing moderator to open it in an Edit window without changing anything to make the video happy. So that's what I just did.

The latter far outnumber the former, and there's no telling how many of the former are telling the truth about what they qant.

I always wanted to meet a man-hating she wolf like people keep finding. Some renowned ball kickers I did encounter were surprisingly kind to me. Thank Gawd I guess.

It has long been known that the woman a man marries will make or break him, and vice versa — that is the underlying theme of every novel Jane Austin wrote back at the end of the 18th century. In different generations what exactly that means has changed, but not the need to choose more carefully than, “Ooooooh, she’s hot!”
I downloaded the Kindle sample of Dr. Smith's book. Thus far I approve. If Herb McCoy chooses to be what the author describes as a “high value man” and follows the author’s directions to find a nice, high value woman to marry, he’ll be much too busily happy to want programmable blow up dolls.
For what it’s worth, when I was young I fancied myself a feminist, arguing that I had as much right to be a garbageman or an engineer as any man. Certainly my father expected I would follow the pattern of my mother and both my grandmothers, becoming a leader in my chosen profession — preferably, from his perspective, on the academic/research side. Daddy was as surprised as I that I was happier as a most traditional housewife/soccer mom/trailing spouse. Mr. Wife, who would have been just as happy to adjust had I been a career woman, was only surprised that it took me so long to realize what he recognized in the first weeks of our acquaintance.
"His attitude was fairly simple, as he explained it to me one day when he confessed that the lady I had seen leaving was, indeed, an expensive import from Madam Frances’ establishment.
“Why would you do a thing like that,” I said, “when all you have to do is whistle? Or grin?”
“That’s why,” he said. “I can pay her to go away. The others stay around, want a big romance, movie lovemaking. I do not want to be the world’s great lover and I don’t like being put on that spot.”
