Clinton cronies are everywhere — even the U.S. Justice Department. Now it’s clear why Justice officials are trying to undercut FBI Director James Comey at every turn.
On Monday, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik wrote to calm the increasingly ruffled feathers of ranking Democratic lawmakers over the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email probe, made public Friday by Comey.
“We assure you that the Department will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resource(s) and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” Kadzik wrote.
All of this would be little more than inside-the-Beltway butt covering — without a little more knowledge about Kadzik himself, and how this has become a game of Clinton cronies versus the FBI — and why it’s beginning to smell like a steaming pile of manure.
And here’s where recent document dumps by WikiLeaks from the email files of Clinton campaign manager John Podesta are all too enlightening. As a private attorney, Kadzik represented Podesta when he testified during the special counsel’s investigation of Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Podesta would later recommend Kadzik for a post in the Obama administration’s Justice Department as “Fantastic lawyer. Kept me out of jail.” The leaked emails also included arrangements for at least two dinners with Podesta, one the night after Hillary Clinton’s marathon testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi and a second at the Podesta home earlier this year.
The document dump also included a letter from Kadzik’s son to Podesta looking for a job with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
As head of DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs, Kadzik now serves as a liaison to Congress — a position that would give him ample access to FBI investigators and information dealing with any or all of the Clintons’ cases.
Paula D’Amore tells WSVN-TV that wasn’t how she expected to deliver her daughter, Daniella, who was born in the fire lane at Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
D’Amore’s husband caught the baby’s head as nurses ran out of the hospital to help with the rest of the delivery.
Seven months later, the hospital sent D’Amore a bill for $7,000, which is the full delivery fee. She says she planned for the birthing costs prior to delivery but since she never made it to the delivery room, she thought the hospital would adjust her bill.
The hospital did not immediately comment on the case.
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late
She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late.
I love that song. The whole time I thought it was old, like 1950's or something, but I was wrong. When I downloaded it, turns out to be the Who and that's a whole different decade. I just now looked, wrong again, it was the Guess Who, 1969. And they're Canadian. And I'm 30 years off.
So what. I still like the song very much. Even though I'm wrong about everything.
Drudge linked a poorer version of this video below where Hillary's remarks are lost to the crowd. The comments there will be mostly people who read Drudge and they're all of a kind. They're remarking on how much Hillary's body language puts them in mind of Hitler. But Hitler was a much better speaker and Hitler jabbed upwards to the sky, not accusingly at a singled out member of his audience. In my body language view, Hillary has an Evita Perón like audience-encompassing, 'I embrace you all,' 'come unto me' aspect when she is not pointing. And pointing obnoxiously.
"Stop pointing" *WHAP* I'd have my little finger smacked downward when I did. The most natural motion of all was unavailable to my toddler self. "Hey, Mum, look how fat that lady is." Jeeze, what's so bad about pointing? It's a lesson ingrained, emphasized, by being smacked.
Politicians pointing is a pet peeve with me. A long time ago I did a whole series of animated gifs of politicians pointing and some animal flying in from off frame to bite off their finger leaving a finger stub gushing blood. There were so many animated gifs I got tired of doing them. Turns out, they were all leftist politicians. It's a thing with them. No matter the country. No matter the time. But lately, I think their handlers, their advisors, instructed them to knock it off because then I noticed leftists politicians, Obama notably, doing a bent finger point. The impulse to point is still there, but it's corrected to a partial, "back at myself" kind of point. He looks like he's holding a tiny invisible conductor's baton. The impulse still irrepressible. And there is no target for an animal to suddenly appear and bite off.
A politician points and a little bird comes flying in and lands on their finger. I just got tired of the whole obsession. But Hillary cannot control herself. If she could jab the protester in the audience to death, she would. If she could jab that finger of hers up his ass and rip through his torso, she would. She does in sign language. She speaks very clearly with her hands, "I could rip right through you with my finger." In my view, in my reading, the language her body speaks is insanely obscene. It does not look like Hitler at all who is merely emphatic by comparison. Hillary's body speaks straight up hate towards a specific person, Hillary's Trump supporters are Hitler's Jews, the ones she presumes to govern even as her mouth denounces hate. So tremendous conflict bundled right there causing psychogical implosion, not explosion for all to see.
Now, the useful portion of this video is the front, and it's short, the rest is CNN panel discussing what they see and that portion is useless propaganda in the shape of discussion. (Mind, like what I do, except with reversed goal.)
One last thing, the Drudge linked video by The American Mirror shows Hillary supporters onstage but does not show her audience nor the protester holding his sign. Still commenters over there discuss her supporters as rag tag low life commie losers based on their appearance. This CNN video below of the same episode does show the crowd and with much better sound quality. Both videos are hosted on YouTube. I suggest skipping the CNN panel discussion. I always feel IQ points draining whenever I do bother to listen to their panels, and I feel it right off. It's like listening to my friends whom I've left behind, and for the reasoning they demonstrate. It's a painful aching reminder.
I think we already ARE great (jab)

And you know I am sick and tired of the

Universities across the nation are taking steps to actively purge male students of what’s been labeled “toxic masculinity.”
Examples abound of campuses hosting training sessions, group meetings, lectures and other programs to effectively cleanse what many campus leaders and left-leaning scholars contend is an unhealthy masculinity in young men today.
“How has the concept of masculinity contributed to the perpetration of violence in our society?” asks the UNC Men’s Project website.
Duke University started a similar program this semester for male students to reflect on topics such as patriarchy, male privilege, rape culture, pornography, machismo and “the language of dominance,” Fox Newsreported.
At a mandatory freshmen orientationtraining at Gettysburg College in August, male students had to watch a documentary which stated in part that the “three most destructive words” a boy can hear growing up is “be a man.” The freshmen also went through breakout sessions in which they were told mass shooting sprees are rooted in toxic masculinity.
This is America's Test Kitchen Cook's Country, an adjunct to the America's Test Kitchen They're making a butter burger based on one that they saw in Wisconsin that they thought was just too ridiculous so they cut back considerably on the butter. They use salted butter contrary to everything else. But I don't see why they cannot simply add salt to their unsalted butter.
Here's the thing about that. Manufacturers and marketers must take greater care with unsalted butter. The salt gives them some wiggle room that is unavailable with unsalted butter. You are guaranteed that your unsalted butter is fresh.
They put the butter on the top toasted bun and let it drip down through sweated onions and American cheese. The meat patties are thin.
Skip to 2:30 if you care to watch, where they start making burgers, they're yakking it up unproductively before that.
This is Solly's Grille, the place that America's Test Kitchen based their butter burger tests on. The lithe sylphlike cook and the svelte owner insist on outrageous quantity of butter sufficient to drown any insect drawn to it right there on your plate. Pointless when so much of it drips off.
This here is a link to Food Network, a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode showing Crest's butter burger. This is the best of the lot. The cook has 1/3 LB of beef, it looks like to me, gouges out a small portion, inserts a generous pat of compound butter and replaces the gouged portion of meat, smashed the ball into a patty and grills the patty as a steak. The cook says, "broiler." The butter that the cook prepares in advance has generous fresh herbs added to it. Quite a combination here. My favorite things.
* basil
* parsley
* tarragon
* garlic
* cayenne
* salt
* pepper
So there is no butter soaking the bun. It's all inside the burger. In my opinion, this is the way to go. His is the only burger herbed up, and that combination sounds tremendous.
No cilantro. The most popular herb around here. Man, there sure are a lot of anticilantroites out there. Have you noticed that? It's actually a genetic predisposition. A lot of people just flat cannot stand it. It tastes like soap to them. One guy said, "Is that the stuff that tastes like wet socks?" And I'm all, "What?"
Former Pink Floyd bass player Roger Waters compared Trump to Hitler today in a stunning news break reported by Rolling Stone. The noted anti-Semite credits a teenaged-trip to Beirut for making him aware of injustice and inequality.
Waters was born in 1943 and was a teen between the years of 1956 to 1963.
Did anything significant happen in the Middle East between 1956 and 1963?
The latest revelation — that the town hall moderator overseeing a Democratic primary debate gave CNN contributor Donna Brazile a peak at expected questions, and Brazile then fed Hillary Clinton's campaign staff a question expected to come up in the primary debate against Bernie Sanders — confirms the too cozy relationships between the politicians and the so-called journalists and officials who are supposed to be helping Americans get unbiased information about candidates.
Bernie Sanders supporters should be outraged: We've seen time and again how the DNC was never going to allow their guy a fair shot at the nomination.
For the past two decades, the liberal media have told Republicans that they must repent their ways or risk losing the black vote and the Hispanic vote forever. There is ominous talk of white people no longer being a majority -- someday.
But if that were true -- if race is destiny -- why are Democrats in their worst shape since 1928?
The truth is Democrats have the race problem.
There is only one white Democratic congressman from the 11 Confederate states.
I prefer my holidays to be stable. Any jacking around with them I consider the frenetic work of neurotic busybodies with nothing better to do than annoy and drag everyone else into their own personal neurosis. Halloween is not "dress up" day, it is not "character" day, it is not "black and orange" day, it is definitely not sugar free, it is Halloween, you dopes, accept your horror.
I asked my brother:
What did your kids do for halloween?
Did you pass out good candy at your house, or are you a pisser about all that sugar?
(He mentioned earlier they are trying to cut back.)
Do they get to eat all the candy they collect?
Were they little monsters?
Have any pictures?
He responded simply with this photograph and no text.
Bless.
They're in their playroom, containers of toys all around. The eldest is a SWAT cop, the younger is a ninja. They have a modest amount of candy and the younger doesn't even care that his pile blends into his brother's. I love this so much.
Man, would they be amazed at Halloween on air bases. In some places the houses are close together, a lot of kids running around. It's a marathon house to house. We collected entire grocery bags filled with candy. Imagine that. Five kids, and five grocery bags filled heavily with candy. Momote Village was our greatest haul. Absolutely tremendous. Can you imagine five kids high on sugar for a whole month?
Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Five times a day for a whole month.
My costume at that age was a flat red flannel devil suit. After Halloween I threw away the mask and the costume became my favorite pajamas. I pretended the arrow point red devil tail was really a monkey tail. I slept in it every night until the tail fell off and the pants disappeared somehow. Just gone. I don't recall how. Looking back, I think my mum tore off the tail so she could throw them away, tired of me pretending to be a monkey. That must have been it or else I'd still have them. That was the best costume ever. I bet this kid keeps his costume and keeps right on being a ninja.
But Halloween is definitely not this.
Look if you like, but it's awful and not the least bit interesting.
(CNN)The relentless bullying became too much to handle for an 11-year-old girl with a "crooked" smile, her mother said.
At 3 years old, Bethany Thompson was diagnosed with a brain tumor and battled through radiation treatments. Though cancer-free since 2008, treatment caused nerve damage that changed Bethany's smile. That, and her curly hair, led to bullying, said Bethany's mother, Wendy Feucht.
So this nasty twat goes into a bodega and sees a cat sleeping on a case of Bud. What does she do? Tries to make a Federal case out of it. She posted this on Yelp:
Diana D wrote "I've ordered from SK before and the sandwiches are pretty good. Today, however, I decided to stop in and grab a sandwich. To my dismay- there was a cat, perched upon some cases of Budweiser in the middle of the store!! Besides being allergic to cats, I wonder what the health code say about this?"
Now I have had plenty of problems on Yelp. People think they can say anything they want to destroy your business. I was talking about it with Nino from the bakery yesterday. Some twat wrote a bad review because she felt she had to wait too long to get a box of cookies. He was freaking out . He was screaming that people like that are not his real customers. Which is true. It is always the assholes who try and destroy a small business.
This woman didn't know what hit her. She thought she could just spew and nobody would say anything which happens all the time. She had over 7,000 retweets of people smashing her for attacking the pussy. I guess if you attack the pussy you get destroyed.
Nelson who has the bodega next door and he has a cat that I hate. It hates me too. He is always trying to sneak into my store. I am always chasing him. I don't let anybody know about it though. I know better. That stupid cat is the most popular thing on Court St. Kids pet it. Hipster girls go gaga. They just don't get that it is a working cat. Sometimes Nelson locks it out of the store. Sometimes on freezing nights. He runs across the busy street all the time. Freaks out passing busybodies. I just laugh.
Sometimes you just have to keep your thoughts to yourself. Doesn't mean you can't be subtle and chase the smelly bastard into ongoing traffic with nobody being the wiser. You have to fly under the radar.
Sports broadcaster Joe Buck lavishes so much praise on 23-year-old Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber during this year’s World Series, it prompted one fan to open up a wedding registry for the two at Bed Bath and Beyond.
The much maligned Buck often criticized as detached and robotic in his announcing displayed enough flattery about Schwarber’s performance during the Cubs-Indians contest, fans began mocking him, according to NBC Sports.
Purchased so far, a $10 sugar bowl, will serve as practical accouterments for the unlikely and certainly reluctant couple. For those who just can’t decide on what to get them, flatware and some Riedel wine glasses are still available.
Virginia has printed 1 million provisional ballots, an unprecedented number that could allow a large number of previously disqualified felons to cast ballots for president in the potentially crucial swing state.
So says Reagan George, the president of the Virginia Voters Alliance.
“The claim that it is for contingency planning is bogus,” George said in an email. “In 2012, Stafford County used less [sic] than 500 provisional ballots — in 2016 they received 30,000. In 2012, Loudoun County used 700 provisional ballots. In 2016, they received 84,000. In 2012, Fairfax used 2,500 provisional ballots; in 2016, they received over 265,000. This is ridiculous.”
