How The FBI Set Up Donald Trump

How The FBI Set Up Donald Trump



comment:



I didn't read anything but the intro to the video.  However, consider that this whole Russian business was based upon a complete fabrication that may have been aided and abetted by the FBI.  Then consider how they hyperventilate over the slightest thing they consider wrong about Trump.



These guys accuse Trump of being a liar, and goodness knows what else.  They take the friggin' cake.

Seems like Ace is on the Never Trumpers in the GOP.  Yeah, there does appear to be this strain of righties who "just don't like Trump."  Ask me if I give a poop.  I look at results.  Something that they never get.

Would they feel better if Hillary was POTUS?
 
Don't tell me that failure to repeal Obammy care is because Trump makes them feel ashamed.

Puhleeze.

Betsy seems to think presidents are really these high-toned kind of people.  But ask yourself if that is really so?  Clinton?  No.  Bush?  Not really.  Obama?  No.  Maybe Reagan was.  Maybe the first Bushie was a decent man.  But Nixon?  Johnson?  Even Kennedy?



These guys are more typically a bit roguish.  These aren't fine upstanding gentlemen, here.  Let's not kid ourselves.



Actually, I note that the media tears down GOP politicians.  If Trump wants to fight back with Twitter, then so what?


Focus Fusion video

If you are into a lot of facts and figures, pie charts, and graphics, this is for you.

I like Focus Fusion as a possible space drive.  Imagine a space drive with an ISP of a million.  Such a drive would enable interplanetary voyages.  Interstellar voyages will require something more advanced.


POTUS speech on Energy Policy

It was yesterday.  I read the transcript, and it looks good.

It is "balls to the wall" on energy development.  This is something I have preached for the history of this here blog.

Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.  Damn straight.

There was something about this on Limbaugh today.  Could it be that these people only do these things for attention?  They had to know that Trump would respond as he did.  Why should they be surprised at how he responded?

More fake stuff, I'm afraid.  All for the attention.  All for the clicks.  No substance, no meaning.


The original post follows below:


The media has been so dishonest for so long that I stopped taking them seriously for a long, long time.  It preceded Donald Trump by decades.

So, for them to call Trump a liar means nothing to me.  Actually, I really don't know what the heck they are talking about with respect to his alleged lies.  If they had credibility with me, I would look it up.  But I won't waste my time.

The Coming Breakup? - by Robert Ringer

The Coming Breakup? - by Robert Ringer: Back in the early eighties, when I was publishing my newsletter The Tortoise Report, the thought crossed my mind that the crumbling American Empire might eventually break up into smaller pieces — similar to the path chosen by the Roman and British Empires. When it comes to maintaining control over your subjects, bigness tends to …

One commenter had an opinion that follows my own:  that leftwing politics is centered in the cities, whilst the rest of the country is far more conservative.  In such a case, how can they "secede"?  They get they food from the countryside.  They probably get their water from the countryside.  In fact, they get just about everything from the countryside.  City states are not sustainable politically.  How would they pull it off?  In the end, they would have to come under the influence of some more powerful political entity.



If they had to choose between other countries and their own, would they really decide to go with the others?



I guess you can say "we'll see".




Did The FBI Pay For Hillary’s Negative Research On Trump? Lunch Alert!!

Did the FBI actually use taxpayer money to play politics?  Isn't that against the law?




Obligatory, 6.28.17

Clearing out my van this morning.  There was a 5'x8' unassembled trailer kit in there.  Yes, it was heavy, but I moved it on out.  Plus a lot of other things.  It has some trash in it to clean out, but it is nearly ready for sale.

I will attempt to sell it for 3500 bucks.  This will help pay down some debts, and relieve me of the obligation to insure it.  Not to mention that the car gets much better mileage than the van.

If I cannot get 3500 for it, I just may keep it.  I really hate to sell this van.  It is a pretty decent vehicle that will be hard to replace, should I choose to do so.

There shouldn't be any such thing as hacking

These people won't let the so-called hacking accusation end.  However, one may ask what is being referred to by the term.

My understanding of it is to gain unauthorized access to computer information.

If computers were secured, then how would there be any hacking?

Also, why are computers not secure?

Surely, they are not behind unlocked doors.

Since that is not the case, then what we are talking about is online access.  Then the online security is weak, no doubt.

Why is online security weak?  That's the 64k dollar question.  But the answer is that with any security scheme, it is only as good as who is in charge of it.  If somebody is really sharp, you aren't getting by them.

Hence, the only reason that there is hacking is that not enough people seem to think it important that it be stopped.

Therefore, we will have hacking until the cows come home.  Nobody cares enough to stop it.  I conclude by saying that all hacking references are bravo sierra.

Lie harder. Yeah, that is the ticket.

Five things everyone is ignoring about the Russian-DNC "hack".

Mainly that it wasn't one.  Was it a cover story for a murder?  Oh, yeah.  We can't ask that question.



original post follows:...



According to an article in the Hill webpage, Democrats say that Obama should have communicated better about the extent of the "hack".

In the first place, it should be remembered that the so-called Russian hack of the DNC emails allegation was already attempted.  What probably didn't make the news, was this "FBI" investigation was just a rehash of a paid "investigation" done by the DNC.  The FBI never had access to the alleged DNC hacked servers.  A question arises:  maybe the servers weren't even hacked, and that is why the DNC refused to turn them over to the FBI.  In other words, it was a lie.

What should be asked is why Comey's FIB (FBI) put the news out there to confirm that there was a hack even though the FIB didn't do any of their own investigating?  This story was hearsay.  It wouldn't hold up in court, but it is good campaign material.  Why is the FIB engaging in politics?

Other questions arise, as well.  But we can't ask those.  Oh, no.  We can't do that.  We must continually beat this dead horse for as long as we can.  /sarc





Terrestrial Energy begins siting study for commercial molten salt reactor

This is David LeBlanc's enterprise.  This blog has been following his work for five years or more.

Progress seems slow, doesn't it?

Actually, the earlier posts went over the reasons why.  Our government is stupid.



SpaceX reflies booster for second time this year

An old phrase that I use to hear a lot applies here:  "they've got it down to a science".  It so happens that there is no intention to refly these particular boosters after the first recovery.  Instead, these boosters are for learning how to do it.  Eventually, they intend to make a new model which will be recovered and re-flown numerous times.

There was another article which seems to suggest that Elon Musk is well on his way to becoming the world's richest man.  For whatever you think of the guy, he seems to have very grand ideas.

Obligatory, 6.25.17

Been busy around the place today.  After nearly ten months, I still haven't completed the move from Houston.  Although I have had all of my stuff out of Houston since December, some of it was in various places around here where I am now.  Slowly, I am consolidating it all in my trailer, and once that is done, the move will be complete.

After that, I can sort things out!  Stuff is still pretty mixed up and disorganized.

Besides all of that, I am still working on the goal of not using any a/c. It does appear at this point that, in order to reach that goal, I will have to put a cover over the top of this trailer.  On hot days, you can just forget about it.

As of now, I haven't scanned the news.  So, I am in a good mood.  Ay, I must be a glutton for punishment.  After finishing this short communication, I will begin getting caught up on the news.
