[Breitbart] NEW YORK ‐ James Comey took to Twitter on Saturday to respond to an earlier tweet by President Donald Trump about the Russia probe, with the former FBI director exclaiming that the "American people will hear my story very soon."
"And they can judge for themselves who is honorable and who is not," Comey added.
Comey was responding to Trump’s charge that the ex-FBI chief was aware of illicit activity at the FBI regarding the probe into unsubstantiated claims of Russian collusion.
Below, in no particular order, are nine major problems with Comey’s actions in the Russia probe. This while he tweets about determining who is "honorable."

I don't give a flying f. who is "honorable" or not.
I do give one if you are not a patriot and hurt the nation!
You and the rest of the Demorats seem bent on destroying the nation. Maybe honorable enemies of the people? That said, Jean Lafitte the pirate, did is part to save the new nation at New Orleans. He wasn't honorable, he wasn't nice, he was a fricking pirate but he helped save the nation. Much more useful then the deep state coup d-etat fans the Demorats have become.
Depends on what "honorable" means in context. If it's like "what is is," then, no, we dont't care...

Boy Howdy, the media storm and spin after the IG report is released is going to be a doozy...how long before Horowitz is called a political hack and a Trump myrmidon?

I have several good Irish friends. Their friendship is overpowering as they are otherwise the most annoying people I know besides myself...

I pulled off a decent grilled 'boiled dinner' a few years ago - re-brined the corned beef overnight, cut it into 1 1/2' chunks, in went the cut cabbage, carrots, potatoes & ten cloves of garlic into a roasting pan, threw in about 4 cups of chicken / vegetable broth into a roasting pan, covered it w/ plastic and foil, 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

The explanation I always heard was that St. Paddy's Day let the Irish cut loose in the middle of Lent while still being considered good Catholics ...
[KC Star] LONDON - Russia's ambassador to the European Union has suggested a nerve agent that poisoned a former spy in England could have come from a British lab.
Vladimir Chizhov says Russia has no chemical weapons stockpiles and was not behind the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.
In comments broadcast Sunday, Chizhov told the BBC that the U.K. chemical weapons research facility, Porton Down, is only eight miles (12 kilometers) from Salisbury, where the Skripals were found earlier this month.
Asked whether he was saying Porton Down was responsible, he replied: "I don't know."
The British government says Chizhov's suggestion is "nonsense."
Meanwhile, Russia's ambassador in London, Alexander Yakovenko, called for "cooler heads." He told the Mail on Sunday that the dispute is "escalating dangerously and out of proportion."

A very interesting thing just took place, all within a couple of minutes. The title of this story as I have listed has just been changed "updated" to the following:
"Britain, Russia trade blame over poisoning of former spy"
#3
Actually, considering all the possibilities, the Brits don't have to have that particular nerve agent - all they have to do is lie about which agent was used. Of course, the idea of Her Majesty's government lying is hard to swallow.
#8
You're really out on a limb with that #3, suggesting that a newly developed Russian neurotoxin extracted from the Vodka plant is NOT the agent responsible.
In comments broadcast Sunday, Hillary told CNN that the White House is only a few miles away from the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Asked whether she was saying Trump was responsible for the murder of Seth Rich, she replied: "I don't know."

An episode of CSI that involves the Seth Rich murder would be the worst episode ever. Murder happens, police declare it is a botched robbery. No one is interviewed. Surveillance footage not asked for, bartender not interviewed. The End.
Donna Brazile said after Seth Rich was killed, she kept the blinds down to protect from snipers, possibly Russian. LOL. The Russians break every rule of engagement to start a possible WWIII with us to kill a man who...according to the DNC, didn't leak any emails.

Personal protection from the melting rays of the sun and light of day, more likely.
[Mail] When it comes to having faith in your products, few business people can match Vyacheslav Nalyvaiko, head of military equipment company Ukrainian Armor.
He showed off the capabilities of the firm's bulletproof vests by taking a shot from a Kalashnikov AKM rifle and smiling.
Nalyvaiko, in his mid-50s, stood in a snow-covered field and let a marksman shoot a round at him from about 33 feet away.
The two-year-old company's website boasts that: 'Our mission - is to create qualitative, durable, safe and reliable equipment for each customer'.

The concept for QA is valid. Now how many pres of companies doing business with DoD are willing to do something similar. And while we're at it, I'd like a vid of CEOs and pres opening those damn plastic clam shell containers they seem so keen on with our domestic products.

During WWII, my dad was a B-24 ground crewman. Sometimes,when he reported a plane ready to fly, he'd tell the pilot. The pilot would say - "OK, Sergeant. Hop aboard and let's take a test flight"

I saw an officer take a .38 round in the vest during a shooting. He acted as if the round penetrated and started digging at his skin under the vest. Apparently the vest stops penetration but the vest punches a couple of inches into the skin while slowing the round. The officer said it hurt like hell but glad round didn't penetrate. I would NOT want to take an AK round while wearing a vest...it would have to knock you on your azz.
[ALMASDARNEWS] A caucus of American politicians led by one Senator Bob Menendez have sent an official request to the US Department of State recommending sanction measures against Russia for any future sale of high-end S-400 air defense systems to other countries.
The policy initiative has pointed to a technicality in the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (2017) arguing that the sale of strategic game-changing weapons (such as the S-400) by countries like Russia to other nations can be met with sanction action as a form of punishment.
The development comes as the armed forces of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... and Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... (hiterto exclusive buyers of Western military equipment) are in talks with Russia for the purchase of S-400 systems.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar aside, the sale of S-400s to traditional buyers of Russian military hardware like China and India also now serves to provoke US concerns and the need by certain authorities in Washington to want to impose some kind of punishment.

Not that I object in principle - but whatever happened to "don't make demands you can't enforce"?
Bob Menenedez and his buddies work for the military-industrial complex.

"And the 1980’s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back — because the Cold War has been over for 20 years." Obama to Romney, 2012
This reminds me of the shameless Leftist U-Turn when the Nazis invaded Soviet Russia...

Hey Menendez, you just missed a long term in the big house breaking rocks by the skin of your teeth. Stop and consider how lunatic you are sounding.
Yes. Unless you are willing to go to war, such sanctions are unenforceable. Even if you do go to war, they might not be enforceable without being extremely costly to everyone.
[atimes]China’s former anti-corruption tzar is being tipped as vice-president after stepping down last year.
President Xi, who might see him as the ideal man to shore up rapidly deteriorating trade relations with the US.
“He has an international Rolodex and stays in touch with people,” a friend told the Financial Times. “He says it’s a shame that most of his colleagues don’t do the same.”
But few have his forthright demeanor. In his 2015 memoir, Dealing with China, Hank Paulson, the former US Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs CEO, recalled a bruising encounter with Wang at the height of the global financial crisis in 2010.
“You were my teacher but look at your system, Hank, we aren’t sure we should be learning from you anymore,” Paulson recounted.
Blunt approach
Predictably, there are concerns that this blunt approach might prove counterproductive when dealing with President Donald Trump’s administration in Washington. Putting out the flames, not fanning them, would be the “fire brigade chief’s” priority. There are also other problems.
Even now, he is respected but not liked.
“This could be a figurehead job with no real power or a very important role,” Hu Ping, the editor of the Chinese-language monthly Beijing Spring in New York, said. “[But because of Xi’s backing] Wang could become the most powerful [vice-president] in Chinese Communist Party history.”
“Wang’s political resurgence could help [President] Xi serve another term,” Xie Xuanjun, a China scholar based in New York, told Radio Free Asia.
With his ‘enforcer’ back in the picture, anything is possible.
[DAWN] China's rubber-stamp parliament unanimously handed President Xi Jinping a second term on Saturday and elevated his right-hand man to the vice presidency, giving him a strong ally to consolidate power and handle US trade threats.
Xi's reappointment by the Communist Party-controlled legislature was a foregone conclusion, but all eyes had been on whether his former anti-corruption enforcer, Wang Qishan, would become his deputy.

[DAWN] Though the Peshawar Zoo, the first in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was proudly inaugurated by Chief Minister Pervez Khattak on Feb 22 this year, a life full of misery began for the wild yet helpless animals kept there soon afterward.
Some disturbing videos of visitors mistreating the caged animals like lion went viral.
Now in less than a month’s time, some animals have begun dying in the zoo.
“Life and death is a natural process. Every bird and animal has a physical age. The (dead) monkey had reached its ripe age, while the snow leopard had also reached its maximum recorded age and so, it died. We could do nothing about it,” project director of the Peshawar Zoo Mohammad Ali Shah told Dawn, exonerating himself and others concerned from the blame for recent zoo deaths.
The cold statement came from an official, who had earlier confirmed the death of a snow-leopard, too, in the same way that life and death was a natural process.
These wild animals, who lived for more than 10 years in the wild or national parks, couldn’t survive even for a month in the newly-established zoo - it is not hard to imagine the reason but the official insisted there was nothing serious in the autopsy report or mismanagement issues that caused the deaths.
The wild animals died as they had reached their maximum age, insists the official trying to cover up the fact that snow-leopard died on a day when it was 26 Degree Celsius in an enclosure having no air-conditioning.
“Yes, the wild animals are taking stress in the zoo and this could be a reason but it is just a hypothesis,” said the official trying to look for other explanations for the recent deaths.
A well-placed staff member had quite the contrary story to tell about the death of the monkey.
The monkey that Mr Shah said died of old age had in fact been attacked by the lone wolf put just in next cage to the monkeys.
The monkeys were brought in rather in hurry for the zoo as the provincial government seemed in a rush to inaugurate the zoo as its days of rule are numbered.
As the cage for monkeys was still being built, the monkey who was along with others put up in a cage next to a wolf was brutally injured and succumbed to its injuries, a staffer narrated.
A fallow-deer had died earlier.
A visit to the zoo revealed that the animals, which were known for their agility and beauty with their wilting tails and horns, seemed rather exhausted.
The black buck, spotted deer and the like were lazily huddled together under a shade as there were no trees or natural shade.
From the size of the newly planned saplings, it was sure it was going to be a long hot summer.
The National animal of the country Markhor was seen limping. It had slipped knee a month ago, a nearby staffer said who went on pointing at a deer which had been injured too. The Ostrich in the other corner has injured its wing too. The Lion, according to a staffer having injured tail, was kept inside a room –out of sight of the public whereas a lioness looked bored and seemed to have shut herself from her noisy surrounding.
