    10 O:clock news is showing crews disassembling the P. T. Beauregard monument, they’re leaving the Lee momorial till the last, the calculated slap in the face.
    Mitch’s political career in the state’s dead, the upcoming mayoral election will be interesting as he’s hoping to influence it, the black poltical groups want their power reasserted and the Latino vote is up for grabs.
    The most proven competent candidate is a rich, white, wealthy businesman who’s proven that he can do well and improve things the regular pols said were too hard to do…and he did it on his civilian own. Of course the words ‘rich’, ‘white’, ‘businessman’ are a political kiss of death in NOLA, with ‘honest’ and ‘competent’ being the coup de grâce just in case the previous words didn’t complete the job. He would be the only mayor in a long, long time who runs a business that employs lots of people at good wages and actually produces a product, unheard of in NOLA politics. He, if he decides to run, will be up sgainst a hodgepodge of prog, Rat political parasites who’ve been infecting the city for years, and that hive of bottom feeders will be in top form.

      Hard to see how he has the time considering the Agency’s busy schedule of manufacturing phony evidence and phony experts. Then there’s that Agency program that potentially allows them to,plant phony and incriminating files on your communications and computer devices. Then they were so busy trying to massage Hillary’s email scandal…

        To be fair, the Agency is a piwer unto itself, Hoover made it above control or oversight and by using his tactics and methods it’s managed to stay that way.
        The Agency lied about the details and facts surrounding Ruby Ridge (lost big in a civil suit there) and Waco, proven lies they had to walk back. At the same time they had the evidence that 911 was afoot yet blew it and, instead of apologizing, spent years CYAing.
        Yeah, our premier law enforcement agency seems to be more rogue than anything else, a political club that answers only to itself. Hard to tell if Comey’s cause or effect.

          the second building to fall?

          What hit the third building?

          New York has interesting demolition

            I HATE 911 conspiracy theories. Please don’t start that here. Asking politely.

            Are you saying that there was something strange about evacuating the Sears Tower on 911? Do you know that all buildings in the Loop were evacuated on 911 after the Trade Center was hit, as a precaution? My SIL was evacuated, and my DD went to pick him up on the outskirts of downtown.

            Maybe not ALL buildings in the Loop were closed, but many were. Here is a report by someone who was there that day:

            I worked in the loop across from federal plaza. It took everyone awhile to realize that it was a terrorist attack. I saw the first plan hit the towers at home and by the time I got to work the second plane had hit. Everyone started to get very nervous. Then the towers fell and all hell broke loose. Buildings were evacuated with people fleeing downtown as fast as they could. People crying and scared. The city became a ghost town. I remember thinking a things were serous because even Starbucks was closed. Everyone was jumpy for a few weeks.

            There were a ton of security changes in the loop/downtown afterwards. Before 9/11 there were none of those barriers around federal plaza. You could really just walk into any building downtown and go anywhere. Now you have to go through security and show IDs etc. for a while there were no garbage cans around.

            TL/DR- people were scared, left the loop. Things are different now.

            ETA: shortly afterward Miggs field was torn up. Since Chicago was a no fly zone for awhile it was very quiet.

            What was Chicago like on 9/11?

            See my 911 post below. Note that Rick Rescorla KNEW, just as many of us who eorked AQ before it became popular, that the WTC would be attacked again. He talked on it a lot and I’m betting a combination of the first WTC attack, the Bojinka escapade and common sense made them evac the tall buildings in the Loop. Let’s not forget (OK, we did) that when Bojinka was still fresh in security peoples’ minds there was talk of buildings (especially the Sears Tower) on the AQ target list. I’m betting the folks making security decisions were professionals, not Federal, and made the CYA connection fast.
            BTW, Rescorla died in the attack…ironicish.

      Comey is in my opinion the most dangerous man to justice other than perhaps Soros due only to Soros capital.

      Obama is a joke, he is a puppet he wants the perks of his 8 year free ride and to go do “cool things,” to get paid because his dad was black and because he can can articulate things in a way that moves minions. Obama will say some nasty things about Trump but at this point he is pretty much simply out for money and a good time.

      Hillary is on her last legs, she has money, ruthlessness and would set her own grandchildren ablaze to regain her old power or gain more money, but she is universally despised by all people of knowledge wisdom. Hillary has the charm of a dead opossum lying on hot asphalt in the August heat for a week in Mississippi.

      Comey, Comey is as masterful at using small words and appealing to the common man as is Trump. Comey uses simple terms like “Something gets blown up” “We don’t want the bad guys to know what we are doing.” He speaks like that to endear himself to the common man as one of them. But Comey is very, very bright, he is always thinking a step ahead of his interviewer or the committee member questioning him. He is very good at anticipation.

      Comey is also brazen in his disregard of the law and holding his nose in the air while he boldly spits in the face of Lady Justice.

      Comey has an agenda, he is the protector of the Hillary and Obama legacy, because he believes that he is above the law and because of his knowledge of the law and his willingness to play the bumbling fool “Please don’t call us weasels!” Comey is a danger.

      I don’t know if Comey believes in the cause or is simply compromised but he is damn good at what he does.

      Comey has been subverting justice for the Clintons since the days of Ken Starr or maybe earlier.

      All that said Comey made mistakes, he didn’t see his firing coming.

      President Trump was brilliant in this move, no replacement was being vetted, no signs to read, no tip to leak, just “You’re fired!”. Comey lost all power immediately. Every Clinton and Obama supporters in the FBI know that Jeff Sessions is breathing down their necks, they know there are loyalist to President Trump amongst their ranks, none of them know just what happened, none of them know what kind of information POTUS has on them or if he may just clean house. POTUS played the firing of Comey so close to his chest for a reason. A brilliant reason.

      A lot of people were willing to risk their lives and freedom for the Obama Clinton cabal. It is far easier when you have a known predictable, malleable, enemy, now they are in the weeds. President Trump just said hold my beer and they are all scared to death.

      As to Comey, he is stomping his feet and saying “Look at this memo! I wrote it! Trump asked me to obstruct justice! I didn’t tell anyone about it for months!”

      Gimme a break.

      The world of Comey, Clinton, Obama is crashing down around them, we don’t believe it because we have been lied to for so long and seen so many things that in an honest world would have brought these filthy, heartless, amoral people to justice that we can’t believe that it may actually be happening.

      I pray that Trump is surrounded by an army of warrior angels every moment of his day and night.

      And as an outside observance I caught a glimpse of Kieth Schiller he looks drawn and exhausted, I have no doubt that they understand what a dangerous time this is for our president and our country.

    Vladimir Putin says can prove Trump did not pass Russia secrets

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-putin-idUSKCN18D1EA?il=0

    A Kremlin aide, Yuri Ushakov, later told reporters that Moscow had in its possession a written record of the conversation, not an audio recording.

    Complaining about what he said were signs of “political schizophrenia” in the United States, Putin said Trump was not being allowed to do his job properly.

    “It’s hard to imagine what else can these people who generate such nonsense and rubbish can dream up next,” said Putin.

    “What surprises me is that they are shaking up the domestic political situation using anti-Russian slogans. Either they don’t understand the damage they’re doing to their own country, in which case they are simply stupid, or they understand everything, in which case they are dangerous and corrupt.”

        Beat me to that one. Russia may well yet become our best European ally as mainland Europe’s being infected by Moslem parasites while Russia’s strongly resisting the Internationalist’s open-borders agenda. Russia’s actively protecting the integrity of its people and culture, something the US progs are actively fighting, and the US and Russia may well be the only two nations that have the power to turn back the growing tide of Islamic cultural devolution.

          I don’t know if you read Vox Day’s site, the SF Author, universally hated by the SJWs.

          Every single country should have the right of self-determination. Nationalism is not a bad thing, it’s just a macrocosm of Family. Japan has the natural right to disallow anyone they want from living, or even visiting Japan, just as I have the natural right to disallow Drunky from visiting my apartment. Nigeria has the natural right to exclude non-Nigerians from entering their country.

          Somehow, we in the West have been denied that right.

          (out for a smoke, back again)

          I just saw three pretty young ladies walking across the parking lot in shorts and tank tops, because it’s finally warm again, and thought of the Second Amendment. I fully support the right to bare arms.

          Then I thought, morbidly and reflexively, “Which of these three girls will be raped or beaten first by a Muslim, a BLM, or La Raza?” I hate that I think that way.

            Open Borders was a concept pushed by Communidt scum and failed countries to sap the strength of the civilized West, they couldn’t convince the West to commit cultural suicide by allowing huge infusions of barely civilized dross so to push the process they tried to convince upcoming generations that letting oppressed termites in to dine on the frame of civilization was the progressive thing to do.
            Now the Communists are largely gone, imploding under their own lack of weight, we find them trying to fight off the infection of the disease they created. Ironyniscthat the Russians may be the ones riding to the rescue of Christian civilzation, saving us at the gates of Washington.

      “I spoke to him (Lavrov) today,” said Putin with a smile. “I’ll be forced to issue him with a reprimand because he did not share these secrets with us. Not with me, nor with representatives of Russia’s intelligence services. It was very bad of him.”

    Facebook joke of the day:

    The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrels. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.

    At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

    The Methodist church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide.

    But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative strategy. They baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

    Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue; they took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.

    Trump considering former Sen. Joe Lieberman for FBI director: Spicer

    http://nypost.com/2017/05/17/trump-to-interview-four-candidates-for-fbi-director/

    President Trump will interview four candidates for FBI director — including former independent senator Joe Lieberman and the acting head of the bureau, Andrew McCabe — White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Wednesday.

    Trump will also meet with Frank Keating, a former Oklahoma governor, and Richard McFeely, a former top FBI agent, Spicer said during a briefing on Air Force One as Trump returned to Washington after speaking at the US Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut.

    Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke Says He’s Joining Homeland Security

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/milwaukee-sheriff-david-clarke-says-hes-joining-homeland-security-1495059824

    Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. , a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump and a familiar face in conservative media, said Wednesday he has accepted a federal appointment as assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The move, unconfirmed by the department, drew a mixed response from law-enforcement officials.

    Congratulations Sheriff Clarke!!

    Now for some what might even be better news, Clarke told Walker Scott “A few months ago” that Clarke would be joining Trump’s administration but when Clarke’s assignment came he did not inform Walker. Clarke went on conservative radio and casually mentioned that he had not yet told Walker tithe was leaving WI.

    Now IMO that is significant, Clarke has inside information on Reince, Walker and Ryan, Clarke didn’t tell Walker he was leaving and made it know to the public for a reason. My bet is that Reince’s days as the gate keeper are numbered, President Trump did not become a billionaire mogul by surrounding himself with saboteurs. Clarke is as bold and as straight a shooter as Comey is brazen and crooked.

    Milwaukee may burn to the ground without one sane person there but…Clarke has a bigger calling.

    Robert Spencer Poisoned In Iceland

    http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/05/robert-spencer-poisoned-in-iceland.php

    I was quickly recognized: a young Icelander called me by name, shook my hand, and said he was a big fan. Shortly after that, another citizen of that famously courteous land likewise called me by my name, shook my hand, and said “f*** you.”

    We left.

    Back in my hotel room, I began to feel numbness in my face, hands, and feet. I began trembling and vomiting. My heart was racing dangerously. I spent the night in a Reykjavik hospital.

    A hospital test confirmed that I had been poisoned — Ritalin mixed with MDMA (Ecstasy).

    Apparently, it’s okay to poison a “climate change denier”.

    Sorry, I mixed up Robert Spencer (anti Jihadist) with Dr. Roy Spencer (the climate change denier).

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen

    http://www.topix.com/city/south-haven-mi/2017/05/south-haven-city-council-approves-fireworks-show

    The reason for this decision, and even this deliberation, is not elucidated in the article at Topix.

    The reason is the yearly influx of dindoos who do do, lots of mayhem and violence and intimidation, on the night of the fireworks. Acting loud and violent and intimidating on purpose, all of them from other towns and cities in Michigan, and even out-of-state. Last year was almost the last straw. The city had to call in 6 other police departments and completely shut down our North Beach. Dindoos were acting like the whole beach was a Denny’s or Chuck E Cheese, throwing punches, throwing coolers into the air, on a beach packed with mostly white folks.

    Two years ago, they were running up and down the streets in this small town, most of them from out of town, as I said, and literally running ON TOP of all the cars gridlocked and trying to get out of town, yelling things that speak of conquering and being conquered. And all the drivers, every single one, cowered.

    Three years ago, they came in, on a normal, non-holiday Saturday in the Summer, and took over one side of the street, one block. All black, all loud, all trying to act scary and intimidating. It worked. Nobody in our restaurant left out the front door, and everyone on the street walked quickly and pertly to the other side of the street. They did it on purpose. Probably a stupid Black Studies college prank, I’m guessing. Scare the white folks.

    We’ll see what happens this summer.

    Today was exceptionally warm in SH. Three busloads of college students went to South Beach, and proceeded to get into a brawl. I heard sirens today for 20 minutes. They were coming from at least 5 towns.

        I grew up one town south, in Covert. Went to school there.

        My great grandfather lived there, as did my grandfather and his brother, who both served in WW2 Europe, so did my dad, and so did I.

        It was a booming white farm/highway town, on M140, until 1965 or so, when the Great Society said we have to import a whole lot of people from Chicago and give them free housing and positions in the town and school system.

        Now you don’t want to stop there, or get out of your car.

        My grandpa and his bro, after the War, built an entire neighborhood at Thunder Mtn.

        When they built the interstate, I196, Covert proper died, and became a welfare dindoo ghetto, where you lock your doors and blow through stop signs, for reasons of personal safety.

        Mailboxes and old barns. We had to make a mailbox that was removable, and take it in each night, after we built our house. Baseball bats. I suggested to my Dad that we make one and fill it with concrete, but he was a pacifist like that.

          And I don’t mean SH (in my avatar pic), I mean the town just south. The school system is about to be shut down. Even as they throw more money into it. Class D, and somehow has two Olympic-sized indoor swimming pools. Only had one when I went there. Maybe one is for the minorities and one is for the blacks and latinxs now.

      Wow.

      If you ever get a chance to go see Shen Yun, Go!

      I can never find a video of it because they must keep on top of youtube and everything is an advertisement. I think my daughter was 16 when I took her, one of the few times I heard her gasp and sit there with her mouth hanging open. It was mesmerizing and they explained the dances in-between routines so it really brought the story of the dance home.

      This is the best I can do;

    I’m up watching to see if they burn Tulsa down or just keep screaming, “No Justice No Peace.” The jury came to the correct verdict of Not Guilty for officer Betty Shelby in Tulsa.

    One lady though keeps making me laugh with her white wig, black wife beater shirt with her boobs hanging out and her yoga pants with different color peace signs all over them and what looks like a dog on her butt.

    BTW, I’m still alive and kicking, just been really busy, we’re remodeling our entire downstairs, lots of painting, pulling up floors and moving furniture. We’re finally finished and made our deadline for the flooring guys who come in the morning. We took the lazy way out on installing new flooring and paying their labor costs. I am so ready for my house to be put back together.
