Barr: ‘Very Unusual’ For FBI To Rely On Steele Dossier Given ‘Clear Mistakes’ | The Daily Caller
Attorney General William Barr said in an interview that aired Friday that he is investigating what role the Steele dossier played in the Russia probe, and that the salacious document had “a number of clear mistakes.”
“It’s a very unusual situation to have opposition research like that, especially one that on its face had a number of clear mistakes and a somewhat jejune analysis,” Barr told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer.

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming--Jason Mamford shared a post.
OK I need help here.
Please tell me the amount of carbon in limestone (in gigatonnes), and where you got that information from.
This is very important because many people are worried about the amount of CO2 absorbed by the ocean, and claim that will cause "ocean acidification".
The IPCC and NASA simply ignore limestone completely.
It is my contention that over 99% of Carbon is contained in limestone and sediments at the bottom of the sea. It got there by sea creatures dying and their shells falling to the bottom of the sea.
Those creatures got the carbon from dissolved CO2 from the air.
I am beginning to think there is a conspiracy to ignore limestone.
They call it "Earth's crust" or "sedimentary rocks" but mostly ignore it completely.
FBI Officials Who Worked On Clinton Email Case Never Suspected Strzok-Page Affair Under Their Noses | The Daily Caller
FBI Officials Who Worked On Clinton Email Case Never Suspected Strzok-Page Affair Under Their Noses | The Daily Caller:
FBI personnel are trained to look for activity that could lead to an agent being blackmailed, which could include an extramarital affair.
A former undercover federal agent, Wayne Black, told The Daily Caller News Foundation the officials’ blindness to the affair says something about the Clinton probe, in which important leads were allegedly not followed. (RELATED: ‘If The FBI Missed This, What Else Was Missed?’ Strzok Wrote Of Email Probe).
But it also, he said, suggests Strzok used his FBI-provided training in the art of deception to become a cunning liar, a talent turned against his wife, his colleagues and investigators examining his role in the Trump-Russia investigation.

"Paid Agitators?
Deep State?
Calvin Coolidge exposes their plan to have “authority over everybody” and “responsible to nobody”.
President Calvin Coolidge warned in a speech given May 15, 1926, at the College of William and Mary: “But there is another … recent development … the greatly disproportionate influence of organized minorities.
Artificial propaganda, paid agitators, selfish interests, all impinge upon members of legislative bodies to force them to represent special elements rather than the great body of their constituency.
When they are successful, minority rule is established. …
The result is an extravagance on the part of the Government which is ruinous to the people and a multiplicity of regulations and restrictions for the conduct of all kinds of necessary business, which becomes little less than oppressive. …”
Coolidge continued, exposing the autocratic deep-state bureaucracy: “No plan of centralization has ever been adopted which did not result in bureaucracy, tyranny, inflexibility, reaction, and decline.
Of all forms of government, those administered by bureaus are about the least satisfactory to an enlightened and progressive people.
Being irresponsible they become autocratic. …
Unless bureaucracy is constantly resisted it breaks down representative government and overwhelms democracy.
It … sets up the pretense of having authority over everybody and being responsible to nobody. …”...

Chandra Levy - Wikipedia
"Chandra Ann Levy (April 14, 1977 – c. May 1, 2001) was an American intern at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C., who disappeared in May 2001. She was presumed murdered after her skeletal remains were found in Rock Creek Park in May 2002. The case attracted attention from the American news media for several years.
Following a series of investigative reports by the Washington Post in 2008, the MPD followed up and finally obtained a warrant, on March 3, 2009, to arrest Ingmar Guandique, the illegal immigrant from El Salvador identified and dismissed by the MPDC eight years earlier. He had been convicted of assaulting two other women in Rock Creek Park around the time of Levy's disappearance and was still in prison on those convictions when the arrest warrant on Levy's death was issued. Prosecutors alleged that Guandique had attacked and tied up Levy in a remote area of the park and left her to die of dehydration or exposure. In November 2010, Guandique was convicted of murdering Levy; he was sentenced in February 2011 to 60 years in prison. In June 2015, however, Guandique was granted a new trial. On July 28, 2016, prosecutors announced that they would not proceed with the case against Guandique and would, instead, seek to have him deported. In episode 3 of "An American Murder Mystery" on the case, it is mentioned that in March 2017 Guandique lost his bid to remain in the United States and was deported to his native El Salvador on May 5, 2017..."

She was presumed murdered after her skeletal remains were found in Rock Creek Park in May 2002. The case attracted attention from the American news media for several years.
Due to a miscommunication, the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPD) failed to follow its own search parameters in Rock Creek Park, leaving Levy's body to decompose for a year. Further, the MPD had been informed, but soon dismissed the information that Ingmar Guandique, already arrested for attacking women in Rock Creek Park, had confessed to attacking Levy. The MPD instead put much of its focus on the revelation that Levy had been having an affair with Congressman Gary Condit, a married Democrat then serving his fifth term representing California's 18th congressional district, and a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Condit had an overwhelming alibi (he was in meetings with the Vice President), was never named as a suspect by police, and was eventually cleared of any involvement in the disappearance. However, due to the cloud of suspicion raised by the intense media focus on the missing intern and the later revelation of the affair, Condit lost his bid for re-election in 2002.

World Leader’s Ignorance About Climate Change Continues Despite Simple, Obvious Evidence. | Watts Up With That?
World Leader’s Ignorance About Climate Change Continues Despite Simple, Obvious Evidence. | Watts Up With That?--Guest opinion Dr. Tim Ball
What can you conclude about western leaders listening to and, worse, heeding Swedish teenager, Greta Thuneberg about climate change who claims she can see carbon dioxide in the air?
“To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization.” Arnold Toynbee
Until Trump, and very obviously with his exception, weak, ignorant, pandering, people lead the western nations.
They want leadership positions but with no intention of doing the job, or, for that matter, any talent to do it.
We are a long way from Toynbee’s “last product of civilization.”
Worse, we are moving further away every day.
What can you say about America, supposedly the most advanced civilization in the world, with a regular TV program about 600-pound people in prime time?
Is that filling leisure intelligently?
What can you conclude about western leaders listening to and, worse, heeding Swedish teenager, Greta Thuneberg about climate change who claims she can see carbon dioxide in the air?
This skill may be because she is a 16-year old child who, regrettably, has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Asperger’s Syndrome.
...None of this is surprising as the world moves past madness into insanity.
- A US Senator, Elizabeth Warren, is running for President. This after admitting she claimed a non-existent native heritage to jump the line at Harvard Law School and to get called to the Bar.
- There is another Senator also a lawyer, Richard Blumenthal, sitting on the Judiciary Committee where he cynically sits in judgment of other people’s truth and credibility. He claimed involvement in live combat in Vietnam when he was never even in the country. How can such exposed and admitted liars continue to retain positions of power?

Regulated Enough? Bill Imposes Licensing Mandate on Hunting, Fishing Guides – Michigan Capitol Confidential
Regulated Enough? Bill Imposes Licensing Mandate on Hunting, Fishing Guides – Michigan Capitol Confidential"A proposal to enact sweeping new licensing requirements for hunting and fishing guides in Michigan has been introduced in the state House.
The proposal, contained in HB 4442 and sponsored by Rep. Gary Howell, R-North Branch, would impose:
- A $500 (3-year) licensing fee on those who guide hunters and anglers for pay on state forest land.
- A requirement that guides be certified in first aid and CPR.
- A prohibition on licensure for anyone convicted of any felony or a misdemeanor involving fish and game regulations.
- A mandate that hunting and fishing guides file regular reports on their activities and the game or fish harvested.
- A requirement that guides maintain $1 million in liability insurance.
The new licensing regime would replace a patchwork of regulations that are generally less onerous and minimally enforced, and place Michigan guides among the most highly regulated in the nation.
...“In general, it sounds like a horrible idea,” Fraley said. “I’m not sure what they’re trying to do.
But if they want to stop bad actors, they should enforce (the rules) we already have. Right now, there’s absolutely no enforcement.”...

Steele Identified Russian Dossier Sources, Notes Reveal | The Daily Caller
Steele Identified Russian Dossier Sources, Notes Reveal | The Daily Caller:
The notes contain several inaccuracies, including that Russia was running operations out of its consulate in Miami. As Kavalec pointed out, Russia does not have a consulate in Miami.
Trubnikov and Surkov are not identified by name in Steele’s dossier, which the FBI used as part of its investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. But the information that the former British spy attributed to the two Russians involves the dossier’s most salacious allegation: that the Russian government had sexually compromising material on Trump.
