I never thought I’d appreciate the goodness and humor of a set of YouTube comments, sorted by Top Comments.
I was wrong.
The upvote/like/ratings system on most online platforms which allow commenting, from YouTube to CBSLocal sites to Yahoo News — those sites which are non-partisan, but still SJW-converged — has made it plain to see that WE ARE THE MAJORITY.
At least among people who can be bothered to comment on a forum.
There is a reason New York Times doesn’t allow comments.
They know we would dominate their comment sections with our version of events.
Our version would outweigh theirs, and they know it.

Ther were some posts yesterday about revolution/dissolution in Mexico and problems in DHS. I lost the thread as myiPad starts acting strange when there’s a large number of posts in a thread.
Anyway, it should be of no surprise to anyone in the government when Mexico melts down, there are any number contingency plans thst have been done on exactly that theme over the years by a number of agencies.
Of course if some members of the government were planning on using the meltdown and resultant tsunami of immigrants flooding the border for their own purposes, welllllll…..
As for DHS being….troubled…it was a gimme it would be. I was assigned to Customs when it was folded into DHS. All or part of 22 agencies were folded into DHS and most had problems. Actually, thry had problems at close of individual business the day before DHS was formed, as of opening (most showed up on time) it was a new day, a new agency and all problems were forgiven as the old agencies either didn’t exist any more. Those agencies that only gave up a fragment of their being received a bye as they ‘touched’ a virginal entity and could also blame their problems on that portion of them that was transferred….you know, that portion whose sins were forgiven. Neat, no?
Errors created for a period (undetermined) after DHS was formed can be blamed on the learning curve needed to adapt to a new mission though a lot can be hidden under the closk of nstionsl security.
I’d posted this before next door (saying that a lot lately) years ago, nothing startling about this, it just how the Feds ‘work’. You can bet that when that Mexican meltdown occurs and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of immigrants fleeing the mess hit our border the government will feign surprise as they flow over. Nothing will be done to stop or return them, on the contrary the government will be mobilized to feed, cloth and shelter them, then find them places to stay here on humanitarian grounds. The US will get its 51st state, or 53rd if Puerto Rico and DC get their green cards, and we’ll get….well, you know.

She me things will get better eventually, but some are going to get worse first. You have to tear things down to rebuild, and you have a lot to do to even get to rebuild when things are so bad.
I expect some things might move faster as Trump does not accept the D.C. excuses and logjam, and he just takes his case bluntly to the people. But that does not mean instant fixes.
We have a deeply corrupt government with entrenched civil servants protected by law. That alone is fearsome.

She says she can’t tell if she’s head up or head down, but she’s getting some relief. I never carried one sideways, so don’t know how it feels, but she says it’s painful.
They say it’s dangerous if they stay sideways, because although possible to have one butt or feet first, no way to have one sideways without a c-section and even then a c-section is a bit more difficult.
I guess it’s really dangerous if your water is to break while they’re transverse because it can rupture the cord.
Hopefully if she has definitely turned, she has turned head down and will keep her little self that way.
I’ve tried not to dwell on all the bad stuff the doctor has said, but it’s hard not to. It’s been stressful on me with all the worry of premature labor when she was head down in the birth canal then with her being sideways and all the bad stuff that could result, so I can’t imagine the stress she’s been going through.

I know she’s concerned and she has a little of the worry wart from her Mama.
She didn’t stay in that position long. My daughter told me about 30 minutes ago she felt her rolling again and is back to her favorite position.
I had to go to town and was talking to this lady who was telling me that her second child was transverse and they had scheduled a c-section at 39 weeks because they did an ultrasound at 38 weeks and she was still transverse. Then on the day of the scheduled c-section, she told them she thought she had moved and the doctor felt and thought so too and they did another ultrasound to confirm and sure enough she was head down.
They told her they were going to go ahead and let her go into labor on her own and canceled her c-section and sent her home. As she was leaving the hospital her water broke and she gave birth to her 2 hours later.
So I guess you can’t ever count them out from getting in the right position. The doctor had told her there was no way she would be able to turn because she was too big and didn’t have enough room.
The doctor had also kept telling her that because she measuring so small she would only weigh about 5 lbs, although the ultrasound was measuring her to be 6lbs. 8 oz, she ended up weighing 8lbs 1oz.

A federal judge is allowing key parts of a lawsuit against Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, brought by five of the six police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, to move forward.
U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis ruled that claims including malicious prosecution, defamation, and invasion of privacy can move forward against Mosby and Assistant Sheriff Samuel Cogen, who wrote the statement of probable cause.
Mosby’s attorneys had said she has absolute prosecutorial immunity from actions taken as a state’s attorney. But Garbis noted that her office has said it conducted an independent investigation.
“Plaintiffs’ malicious prosecution claims relate to her actions when functioning as an investigator and not as a prosecutor,” Garbis wrote.
Other counts, such as false arrest, false imprisonment and abuse of process, were dismissed, as Garbis had signaled he would do at an October hearing. All claims against the state were also dismissed.

‘I’ve felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now,’ Springsteen said of Trump and the administration he has been building over the past month.
‘It’s as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Forget about where they are ideologically. Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility?’
Screw you, Bruce. You suck. Blinded By the Light sucked even before you made it worse.

So far the MSM’s still rather silent on the US, in particular the State Department, interfering with Putin’s 2012 election as a motive for his messing with Hillary’s election. Pure payback.

A take on the Ft Lauderdale airport shooting. The MSM’s been whining tonite on flyers actually getting to fly with guns checked as baggage. They were saying that the ability to do so should be reviewed.
I fly with firearms frequently though there’s generally on one pistol and one rifle I’ll fly with as they are both registered to me. My AR with one upper goes with me as I can UPS seperate uppers to my destination and be assured they get there. I can’t send the receivers, have to fly with it as I’m prohibited from shipping them except to someone with a FFL.
The problem comes in when I disembark the plane, I have to make a mad dash to the baggage claim as my gun case as it goes onto the baggage carousel along with all of the rest of the stuff from the hold. It’s obviously a gun case, no mistaking it, and if I’m just traveling with a pistol the pistol case looks like a pistol case or some sort of case for electronic equipment. You have all of this special crap you have to go thru when you check in but once the airlines get it it’s treated like you suitcase with the dirty undies in it.
I’ve tried to get them to move the gun case to the office to be picked up – no go. Once, going to Denver, my luggage and gun case were put onto an hour earlier flight as the flight I was on was overbooked and there wasn’t enough room for all of the baggage. I didn’t know until I got to Denver and a note on the board in the claims area told us that some of our baggage, no specifics, had arrived earlier and was available at the other end of the claim area. I had to wait and see what baggage of mine was being offloaded just in case my gun case made it. Nope, suitcase did but no gun case. I take my suitcase and walk to the other end where the eary arriving crap’s stacked and yup, there it is, along with another rifle case, dozens of packed ski sets and not an airline or other security person in sight.
It’s at the point where I am looking at leaving a rifle and pistol at the homes of friends and family where I hunt, it’s easier than legally trying to travel with one.
