    Really? FedEx is a Yes! However, if one ever doubted that propaganda works, look at #1 – #9. Yikes!! Looks like the Who’s Who of the Deep Staters!!

    1. 1st Quarter Wrap Up is back to a discussion of ESG and screening business – same issue.

  2. It is, of course, early in the reportage, but doesn’t this supposed plan to kill Democrats purportedly having been planned by a Coast Guard officer stink to high heaven? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/coast-guard-officer-accused-of-being-domestic-terrorist-with-hit-list-of-lawmakers-journalists-2019-02-20
    It seems that projection by the left now includes fake preparations to add meat to fake news. The Smollett case was an amateur attempt at something similar. This one seems to employ more sophisticated techniques. Still, it is betrayed by its failure to launch, the ready discovery of pat evidence, and the uncharacteristic behavior of the presumed guilty party. A 49 year-old Coastie is likely nearing retirement, has sacrificed much to get to that point, and is basically a committed career public servant. He wouldn’t have any more access to his alleged targets than anyone else, and therefore his scheme takes no advantage of his position. It doesn’t add up. Comments?

      I read the article. I would need to file that one under “I have absolutely no idea.” The whole thing sounds beyond over the top.

      1. I am led to liken it to the Vegas shooter incident. That one has faded away as a gnarled non sequitur into the mists of miscellany.

        1. Actually the FBI published a 3 page final report that is the kind of report that people with $70,000 conference tables right.

          1. I meant what they must have said in the 3-page report: Nothing to see here, folks. Just a lone nut. You can trust us to protect you.

          3. Unlikely. No one get that nuts without a crowd. Either egging him on or planting things. 🙂

    1. There was a whole campaign organized around that theme….including the Obama Foundation – so the pressure was on.

      1. well, that blew up in their faces. It’s promising. They are getting messy and making mistakes.

  6. Am I the only one who would ask how it comes that the Chinese have a moon presence and now the Japanese are planning asteroid mining, but we only have unmanned ‘science’ missions out there? Couldn’t the US as a minimum acknowledge that its space program has been doing the same thing? I understand that such operations wouldn’t cost $21T and that NASA’s budget has not been very much, so some ‘splaining would appear necessary, and again, the credibility gap is unmoored and growing. Even without a reset financially, the BS isn’t selling and it’s likely Washington will run out of stories before it runs out of investors. Needless to say, the two go hand-in-hand.
