  7. I still think the electorate is largely un-pollable. Looking at ME-2, a tossup race where the GOP has a decent pickup opportunity. University of NH dropped a poll over a week ago where they had the Dem up 6. That Dem just released an internal poll saying he is up only 2, which means its a tossup and the Republican may well be in the lead. But clearly being 4 points to the left of a released internal poll doesn’t speak well of UNH.

    “Ashton Hamed Ellaboudy, 51, a resident of Richland, Washington, was arrested this morning and charged with attempting to provide material support or resources to the Houthis, a designated foreign terrorist organization. 

    […]

    According to court records, Ellaboudy, who was a Department of Energy employee, came to the attention of the FBI after they received information that he had purchased precursor chemicals, components, and other materials commonly used in the construction of homemade explosive devices. In addition to the precursor chemicals, the investigation revealed Ellaboudy had also purchased parts used for the construction of drones and remotely operated aerial systems.”

  28. Two thoughts.

    FIRST, you all know I love to spend lots if time watching videos of police interactions with persons who have committed traffic violations, assault, shoplifting, various misdemeanor and felony I fractions.

    For instance, the person who committed the violation/crime is absolutely guilty of driving without seatbelt on, speeding, suspended license for 3 years, having no insurance, and has outstanding warrants. Yet they will beca.e irate and insist thet they DID have their seatbelt on and the cops are just being guilty of harassment or racism.

    The law breaker is unable to process the full reality. Refuses to get out of car, fights when they tell him the car will be towed, etc.

    They insist they k ow their rights, which they don’t.

    WHY IS THAT?

    *******

    Secondly, the criminal who has violated all sorts of laws, lies to the lolice, gives the. False name, and fights, bites, kicks and spits on police officers and threatens to kill then a d their family…..AND ARE WEARING WITHER A CEOSS TATTOO OR WEARING A CROSS NEACKLACE.

    When Nixon f–Ed up and R senators went to ho. And said he had to resign and they would vote to impeach, tbat was the morally righteous thing to do.

    So.ewhere since then we jumped the track on morality.

  33.  And said he had to resign and they would vote to impeach, tbat was the morally righteous thing to do.”

    What was Nixon’s “crime” exactly?

    Nixon’s impeachment was a political, not a legal act.

    Nixon was not involved in the original crime, the Watergate burglary.

    He tried to protect people around him who were involved, had he immediately fired everyone and burned the tapes before subpoena was issued nothing would have happened.

    He was backstabbed by James Dean, a moron that still appears on TV to shill for Democrats and by “deep throat”.

    The MSM indicted Nixon and the pompous asses in the Senate went along with it.

    Nixon was narcissistic and arrogant, but in my view the greatest statesman of the 20th century as President.

    I still haven’t read one thing that convinces me he actually committed and “high crimes and misdemeanors”

  54. BL, I suppose I could obtain a letter of marque and reprisal to take some pressure off of the Navy, but I should note that Art I, Sec. 8, Clause 13 stipulates that Congress is empowered to “provide and maintain” a Navy, meaning that the Navyw as envisioned as the only standing force in the minds of the Framers, whereas the preceding Article (12), empowers Congress, verbatim, “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years.” Big distinction, standing armies were seen as a potential threat that could destabilize the nation (as they had done elsewhere), and thus the power to “raise” an army when necessary clearly implied that said army was to be temporary.
