But to Noah vail.

Apparently there is a Russian partisan/resistance group inside Russia that was trying to assassinate Dugina (Putin's philosopher who cooked up justification for Putin's invasions of Chechnya and Georgia as well as Ukraine). Dugina and his daughter were supposed to go in one car but at the last minute they separated into two cars, and the explosion killed the wrong person. Shortly thereafter Dugin suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital. The Russian FSB (successor to the KGB) refuses to admit the existence of an internal resistance and immediately blamed the Ukrainian intelligence service.

Speaking the truth is NOT gonna get Jean Charest elected as PC leader. Brave of him to say this out loud though.

Michael Cohen Predicts Trump To Use Files To Blackmail FBI Michael Cohen makes wildly impossible-sounding predictions which then come true. Michael Cohen promised Congress that Trump would never peacefully give up power while we said, “Yes, but he’ll have no choice but to peacefully give up power.” We were wrong. So when Michael Cohen says that Trump is going to try to blackmail the FBI to keep himself out of jail. We should probably at least consider that it is a possibility, no matter how absurd it sounds. “He’s gonna use it as a get out of jail free card. It’s a way to extort America turn around to say if you put me in jail, if you go after me — he’ll even say his children — I will have my loyal supporters who you do not know who has copies of information that may have been, and again this is my conjecture, that i would take those documents, I will release them to Iran, to China, to North Korea, to Russia. You want to take me down? I’ll take the whole country down.” “Remember, and I’ve said this with you 1000 times, Mike, Donald Trump doesn’t care about this country. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything other than himself.” It does sound like perfect Trumpian logic. And it may very well be what Trump plans to do with the files, though it seems unlikely that he would only use them for that purpose. They are, after all, worth a lot of money. But it would be a fairly bad calculation on Trump’s part. There is a dawning awareness and appreciation now that this is more than domestic law enforcement and political problem. Given that the entire international community knows that these documents pertained to American nuclear secrets, this is a global stability concern, as well. Even if Trump threatened to release the documents through his own contacts if arrested, the FBI would know that Trump could release some or all of those documents down the road anyway, perhaps just selling them.

In a Sociology class I took in the early 1980's, we spent the whole time looking at the roots of the Nazi emergence in 1920's- 1930's and how it related to the typical German family life and values of that era. We did not compare it to the Reagn-Bush-Trump era but in retrospect, it sure as hell does.

Not if they stick with Mitchell at QB. He is done like dinner.

We have to be cautious about Collaros' health, not panic-stricken. I'm pretty sure that some of the Rider fans are wishing on end of ill on Collaros, and I would feel a heckuva lot better if we had the o-line we had last year, but you go to war with the army you have, not necessarily the army you want.

Sure looks like it, but they better keep Collaros in bubble wrap. Realistically, he is the last standing premier quarterback in the league. Also really sucks for Rourke, the Lions and the owner who has made a great start in returning the Lions to respectability. Guess he won't be auditioning in the NFL this winter.

This is a correct attribution, but it is to be remembered that this was a form of atonement for LBJ: For two decades in Congress he was a reliable member of the Southern bloc, helping to stonewall civil rights legislation. As [biographer Robert] Caro recalls, Johnson spent the late 1940s railing against the “hordes of barbaric yellow dwarves” in East Asia. Buying into the stereotype that blacks were afraid of snakes (who isn’t afraid of snakes?) he’d drive to gas stations with one in his trunk and try to trick black attendants into opening it. Once, Caro writes, the stunt nearly ended with him being beaten with a tire iron.

If you look at the upside for Calgary, they would shed about $250,000 in salary and probably pick up a draft choice. Its not as if the Riders pose any kind of threat to the Stamps- their problems was way beyond their quarterbacking. With Mitchell, they might beat the Elks out for the crossover, but even that is a long shot.

I'm thinking they will start Mitchell but with a short leash. It would make sense for Riders to acquire him but cut Fajardo ASAP. That would be an upgrade for both teams.

There have always been and probably always will be those in any group who will side with an aggressor to benefit themselves, if only in theory. There were Jews (mostly lawyers, alas) who helped the Nazis round up other Jews in Germany and elsewhere on the promise that they themselves and their families would be spared. However, as soon as their usefulness was at an end, they were put ontot he trains to Dachau. In wartime England, Edward the 8th, who abdicated to marry and American divorcee, let the Germans know that he was willing to be their puppet ruler of England should they decide to conquer it. So it is in modern-day America. This is directly connected to Blacks, Hispanics, Semites, Asians Jews and women who support Trump and all he stands for to gain privilege for themselves and doom everyone else. And BTW: one of the Koch brothers died about a year ago, so he has gone to his "reward". Hope he dressed lightly.

GOP Governor Nominee: Having Baby Could Be 'Healing' For Teen Rape Victims Michigan candidate Tudor Dixon has said she would not support legal abortion for a hypothetical 14-year-old rape survivor. Michigan’s Republican gubernatorial nominee said she does not support abortion being legal even for child rape victims, suggesting that having the baby could be “healing.” In a segment aired Friday, Fox 2 news anchor Roop Raj asked Tudor Dixon, who has been vocal about her anti-abortion views, where she stands “when it comes to rape, incest and life of the mother.” Dixon said she supports exceptions if a woman’s life is in danger, though she added that the “health of the mother and life of the mother are two different things.” Raj then asked specifically about rape and incest, providing the hypothetical example of a 14-year-old girl who has been raped. “Why not allow that person to have an abortion?” he asked. Dixon replied that her stance came from talking to rape survivors who have given birth, as well as people who are the children of rape survivors. “I’ve talked to those people who were the child of a rape victim, and the bond that those two people made, and the fact that out of that tragedy there was healing through that baby — it’s something that we don’t think about,” she said. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tudor-dixon-abortion-rape-healing_n_63012ce6e4b035629bfb84f4

Apparently you CAN fool some of the people all of the time. And they will pay handsomely for the privilege of being conned.

Bethel-Thompson has reverted to his usual form. Maier not much better. The game is rather dull.

Riders have to clean house after the season. If they promote Maas, they will get more of the same- he has shown sweet bugger-all as a head coach and not much more an an OC. Even their GM should not be spared. With the dearth of good head coaches and GMs, it is not going to be easy to find a winning combination. On another front, it looks like the Argos have managed to put together a decent team and even Bethel-Thompson is out-quarterbacking Mitchell who looks very beatable this season. The curtain is descending on a once-great QB in Calgary.

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (AP) — Actor Gary Busey has been charged with sexual offenses at a New Jersey fan convention this month. Busey, 78, was charged Friday with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment, Cherry Hill police said Saturday. The charges stem from offenses at the annual Monster Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel on Aug. 12-14 in Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb, police said. Busey, who lives in Malibu, California, was scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event. Police did not immediately respond to a message seeking details. It also wasn’t clear whether Busey has an attorney to comment on the charges, and a representative didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Saturday. Busey is widely known as a character actor, largely in supporting roles, though he came to attention and was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for playing the title role in the 1978 film “The Buddy Holly Story.”

This game marks the end of Fajardo's career as a starter, even if he leads the Riders out onto the field again. The Riders would have a hard time coming out of the East even if they make the crossover with this quarterbacking, but the Riders have few options. Fine is already better than Fajardo but does not look like a premier pivot. If it wasn't for Morrow's running and good kick returns, the Riders would have been even more embarrassed.

The "theft under" is a Canadian legal concept, but anyone who chooses to loot a 7-11 can be safely assumed to be stoopid.

Trump Is Taking On The DOJ With Apparently The World’s Worst Lawyer Former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor said that when Trump lawyer Christina Bobb worked with him, she wasn’t trusted to use the copier. Taylor said, “I’m not a lawyer, but I would tell you right now, it looks to me like Donald Trump is going into the major leagues with some minor league lawyers…That lawyer that you just featured was planted by the White House to work under me while I worked at the Department of Homeland Security, and I will say, we did not trust that individual in some cases with a photocopier, let alone handling a federal case like this. So, if I was Donald Trump, I’ve had that employee before, I wouldn’t feel very good going into court with that person as your defense at the moment. I don’t feel very good going into court with that person as your defense at the moment. I don’t feel convinced by the arguments Christina Bobb made on television.

The cherry on top is that the Riders are laying an egg in front of their deluded fans.

ByeBye Fajardo.

Good to see Riders get exposed for who they are.

Have to admire Rourke's composure and throwing mechanics.

Rider defence and special teams better win this game, cause Fajardo ain't gonna do it.
