FBI Resumes Hillary E Mail Probe

The big story of the day is Hillary’s E mails.  The FBI has decided to look into them again because some brand new ones turned up on the computer of the wife of Antony Weiner.  They were investigating Wiener’s sexting activities and showing photos of himself to a fifteen year old girl.  (I don’t know if this is a new incident)   FBI Director James Commee made the decision to resume the investigation of Hillary eleven days before the election.  Right away someone pointed out that the Dow Jones Industrials had been up a hundred points and promptly dropped 150 points on this news.  This means the stock market is uneasy with the prospect of a Trump presidency.   Kuma Abideen or whoever it is (Wiener’s wife) is a high ranking woman in the Hillary campaign organization.  Now Trump is proudly saying “We’re going to right this ship”.   Even before this bombshell hit Trump had been rising and Hillary had been decisively falling in the polls and this event may well make them dead even.  So much for the Hillary celebration of victory ahead of time.   Dire things will happen if the Democrats don’t take the Senate.  My previous blog post was almost prophetic in its warnings about over-confidence. 

First, the context in which the issue of war against Russia has been raised- and if you can’t go along with this backdrop, then you won’t like the coming war.  Syria’s government is allied with Russia’s government, and ‘The West’ is trying to overthrow Syria’s government and is bringing into Syria, and arming, tens of thousands of jihadists there, as the footsoldiers to do it. Syria and Russia are bombing the people that we are bringing in.  The Presidential candidate of the U.S. Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, is a longstanding and ardent proponent of the U.S. establishing a “no-fly zone” over at least the parts of Syria where non-ISIS jihadists — the jihadists that are financed and armed by the U.S. and its allies (mainly by the Sunni fundamentalist royal families who own Saudi Arabia and Qatar) — have conquered territory from Syria’s (legitimate and internationally recognized) government. It’s conquest of Syria, that the U.S. is backing. The U.S., in both law and fact, is already participating in an invasion of Syria.  Syria’s government is run by the ideologically committed anti-Sharia-law and non-sectarian Ba’ath Party, under President Bashar al-Assad, who happens to be nominally an Alawite Shiite (and fundamentalist Sunnis hate Shiites, and all of the jihadists are fundamentalist Sunnis, just as the royal Saudi and Qatari families are), and Assad has always crushed jihadists in Syria — until Barack Obama became the U.S. President.

it was Gary and Shannon doing Proposition 63, the firearms and ammunition initiative.  The many regulations make it seem like a pain in the ass but I guess we need regulations like this to save lives.  I’m voting for it even though Law Enforcement is against it, and I don’t know why.   You’d think cops would want to do everything they could such as get cleared to buy ammunition- to cut down on gun violence.  Then it was Days of our Lives.  Orphius was the mystery magitian at the hospital Halloween party.  Someone passed a note to John Black saying “This is to give to Marlena” and John read it and it said “Orphius is the body that was stolen from the morgue, and he is alive”.  John opens up the disappearing box and nobody is there.  Meanwhile across town- -Hope dressed as Cleopatra was to be honored for her police work.  But then Andre arranged for a tape to be played on a loop of Hope’s voice saying “I killed Stephano - - I killed Stephano”.   This is why Andre was so enthusiastic about throwing this party charity fund raiser.   The moral is never trust a snake. 
We had our resident’s council meeting at two.  I came in a little late because I was wandering around outside looking for the snacks cart.  He didn’t come till later and he came inside also.  They were discussing needed repairs and I requested that someone unclog the sink, which has been getting steadily worse.  Under food services I mentioned the smaller portions they’ve been having the past month however said the last two days were the exception to that rule.  I also mentioned the continued lateness of the breakfast, with the exception of yesterday.  There were lots of requests for tacos and lasagna and tostatas.  Patty covered all of the other categories and several of us mentioned this strange guy who walks down the halls and goes into every room that’s unlocked.   At one point Patty had to excuse herself and go sign something for her sister waiting outside but then came back in because Josie didn’t feel competent to complete the meeting herself.

More evidence comes in that Republicans are dishonest liars.  Now Ted Cruz and other Republican senators are saying that they’re going to go four years of a Hillary presidency and not approve a single supreme court justice.  So they lied when they said “Let’s not make any decisions now but let the American people decide in November”.  And there is a maximum effort to remove Democratic voters from the rolls.  There are fifty thousand here and fifty thousand there.  Greg Palest has been on the full hour with Thom Hartman on this very subject.  Also in the news a woman complained in 1999 about being sexually groped by Justice Clarence Thomas.  Judy was saying how she’s going to vote for Trump “because the packaging isn’t very good but he has the substance”.   What happened to their distaste for interrupters like they accused Joe Biden of doing in 2012?  Now suddenly far worse interrupting in debates is fine.  One issue off the front page now is the fact that Trump said “I want to release my taxes but they’re being audited and I can’t do it”.   How long has this “auditing” been going on?  A year in a half, or ever since Donald Trump has been running for President.  Now there is another new trend because Asians used to vote Republican but now they have “turned Black” and eighty percent of Asians vote Democratic, so they are subject to caging, too.  They’ll contact you knowing full well you are serving in Iraq or some place.   For white people they have ‘mentally challenged” people scrape off the back of the ballots for hanging chad removal but for Black voters they just leave the hanging chads on.
