For more than half a year, we have seen a non-stop barrage of “news” reports that Russia has corrupted the American political process and more than a few people in the Trump administration. Now, all of a sudden, we’re being told that there are Nazis everywhere – be very, very scared!
If the MSM started reporting that Martians have infiltrated high offices in the U.S. government, using mind control to hide their identity, how many Democrat supporters would believe it? No less than 75% I suspect.

Pandora’s Box
Can you imagine the environmental impact study on this?
One already defunct idea was to use water to cool down the supervolcano.
NASA believes drilling up to 10km down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.
Despite the fact that the mission would cost $3.46 billion, NASA considers it ‘the most viable solution.’

We all knew this was coming.
IT staffers may have compromised sensitive data to foreign intelligence.
Investigators now suspect that sensitive US government data — possibly including classified information — could have been compromised and may have been sold to hostile foreign governments that could use it to blackmail members of Congress or even put their lives at risk.

Another Antifa riot
Lurie reports that the anti-fascist group set off fireworks, lit a garbage can and a flag on fire, threw bottles at police and threw chairs. He said the far-right demonstrators, who had a permit for their rally, responded by heading into a government building.

Well, what do you know.
Art galleries, coffee houses, and software companies don’t actually bring all that much to cities after all. They just move problems elsewhere, foster gated communities, and exacerbate income divides.

A few minutes in a young woman states that a fellow with a Trump shirt has no right to be on the grounds of city hall. That reminded me of how an NDP thug once told me that I had no right to be at a Conservative Party rally on the grounds of the Vancouver Public Library. But the Left are the angels and the Right are the haters, eh?!
Heh.
Yes, let’s rethink free speech
We have an array of differing views in this country, but I think we can all agree that nobody could be better suited to that oversight role than Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump, and the thousands upon thousands of state-level Republicans who have been recently swept into office by the infallible will of the people.

Good Job Boston
By all accounts Boston did a good job of supporting everyone’s First Amendment rights and keeping any potential flash-points for violence minimal.
