James Comey's leak admission may put him in jeopardy, say legal experts - Washington Times
James Comey's leak admission may put him in jeopardy, say legal experts - Washington Times:
"Critics say Mr. Comey’s use of a friend to convey the memo’s revelations to The New York Times last month is evidence that the leak was a multistep plot to take the down the president and that Mr. Comey executed a sort of political vendetta. The president has little doubt that it was Mr. Comey’s leaking — not what he leaked — that is the real crime in their conflict."

"Wonder why your flight is late?
Why planes keep circling?
Why even after you've landed, you sometimes can't deplane?
Bad weather plays a role, but flying is also nastier because American airports use 50-year-old technology.
This shouldn't surprise us.
Government bureaucracies are always slow.
That's as true on the tarmac as everywhere else.
It's not Federal Aviation Administration workers' fault.
They're just following the government rulebook that says you must not change something without getting permission first.
You must not buy anything without going through cumbersome acquisitions regulations.
The FAA's new NextGen system was designed to make the system more efficient by using satellites instead of ground-based radar.
It would let planes fly closer to each other, speeding up everything.
This technology has existed for two decades, but because of the bureaucracy, it's still being rolled out.
"By the time the government gets the equipment, many times it's no longer state-of-the-art," complains Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
Outside government, progress happens.
Uber replaces taxis because Uber is better and safer.
Waze is better than paper maps.
My laptop, on which I write this, is better than my typewriter.
Outside government, people constantly invent better computers, phones, foods, music...
Within government, people follow the old rules.
So President Trump did the right thing when he said he wants to privatize air-traffic control.
"Our air traffic control system is stuck, painfully, in the past," said the president.
"Billions of tax dollars spent and the many years of delays, we're still stuck with an ancient, broken, antiquated, horrible system that doesn't work."..."

Judicial Watch Releases New Hillary Clinton Email Admitting Blackberry Use ‘Against the Advice of the Security Hawks’ - Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch Releases New Hillary Clinton Email Admitting Blackberry Use ‘Against the Advice of the Security Hawks’ - Judicial Watch:
"In a recent court filing pertaining to the currently pending motion to compel Clinton to answer interrogatory questions she refused to answer under oath Judicial Watch argues that interrogatory 14 is particularly important:
Interrogatory 14 seeks to uncover why Secretary Clinton continued using a personal BlackBerry to conduct State Department business after being advised of the risks in doing so. This interrogatory is pertinent because Secretary Clinton’s personal BlackBerry was an integral part of the operation of the clintonemail.com system, a subject squarely within the scope of discovery. It was how she accessed her email. Without her personal BlackBerry, there likely would have been no clintonemail.com system because the Secretary did not use a desktop or laptop and a State Department BlackBerry would have linked to an official “state.gov” email account.
The questions were submitted to her by Judicial Watch under a court order on August 19, 2016, in a separate lawsuit."

The Irish slave trade began when James VI sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World.

U of M climate change study postponed due to climate change - Winnipeg Free Press: "The University of Manitoba's multi-year, multi-million dollar climate change study has been put on ice for a year -- because of climate change itself.David Barber, the university's renowned Arctic researcher, and chief scientist of the BaySys project, said 40 scientists on the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Amundsen made the decision to postpone the $17 million project until next year after two weeks onboard because they realized the ship was needed elsewhere due to the continued extreme ice conditions in southern waters around Newfoundland and Labrador.
..."It's the second most powerful icebreaker in the country and we had trouble getting through the sea ice," Barber, the Canada Research Chair in Arctic Systems Science at the university, said on Monday..."
Liberals For Segregation ...
Liberals For Segregation ...:
"It’s no secret that a lot of liberals nowadays don’t want to be called … liberals.
Can you blame them?
In recent years the word has taken a beating; conservatives would say, for good reason.
So instead of liberal, the word many of them choose is … progressive.
Who’s against progress?
But euphemisms can’t hide inconvenient truths: that too many liberals have forgotten how to be liberal – and too many progressives act more like “regressives.”
Take race.
Remember when liberals were the ones leading the fight to dismantle segregation?
When they were the ones who wanted to take skin color out of the equation?
Today, it’s progressives who sound like George Wallace.
On college campuses around the country, liberals still care about racial segregation – but not the way liberals used to care about it.
It’s the first time in the schools long history they’ve done anything like that..."

- At some schools they want a “safe space” reserved for students of color – no whites allowed.
- At Evergreen State in Olympia, Washington, students demanded a day with no whites on campus.
- At several other colleges, they’re offering segregated housing for black students.
- And a few weeks ago, Harvard held a special graduation ceremony — for black graduate students only.

UN Shocked To Find Hamas Terror Tunnels Under Its Schools After Dismissing Israeli Claims | Daily Wire:
"For a number of years now, Israel has warned the world of these terror tunnels to no avail. In the past, Israeli jets have struck sites near UNRWA precisely because of the fact that many of these schools double as arms storage facilities. These carefully coordinated precision strikes have nonetheless drawn the wrath of the United Nations, the same organization that has suggested that Israel is engaged in a campaign of gratuitous slaughter against perpetually victimized Palestinians.
But now, UNRWA’s own findings back what Israel has been saying all along."
