The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Schiff's Folly


For John, BLUFRepresentative Adam Schiff, both before and after the Articles of Impeachment, has been given to exaggeration, to hyperbole, to distortions of the truth.  This is just over the top.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Federalist, by Reporter Tristan Justice, 3 February 2020 By .

Here is the lede plus four:

Lead House Impeachment Manager Congressman Adam Schiff of California claimed during closing arguments in the Senate impeachment trial Monday that President Donald Trump will sell a U.S. state to the Russian government if not removed from office.

If “abuse of power” was not impeachable, Schiff argued, “then a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach.”

“Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election, or decide to move to Mar-A-Lago permanently and leave Jared Kushner to run the country, delegating to him the decision whether they go to war.”

Schiff’s fearmongering of consequences conceived in pure fantasy come as the impeachment case against Trump officially collapsed on Friday after the Senate declined to hear new witnesses testify at the trial.

A vote on the president’s acquittal is now expected to come on Wednesday, exonerating the president of the three-and-a-half year impeachment effort launched by the Democrats even before Trump took office in 2017.

Sell Alaska?.  Really?

Does Representative, and House Impeachment Manager, Adam Schiff really think that will persuade any Senators?  Any voters in the Heartland?  This is a very sad move.

Sad.  Very sad.
