Podesta: 'Something is deeply broken at the FBI’
A top aide to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said Thursday the FBI’s response to Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election shows the agency is “deeply broken.”
“The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets,”...


I find it interesting that the CIA confirmed the Russians hacked the election while the FBI is still standing around stepping on its ________.

Obama's Opening Salvo To USSR Russia
President Obama vowed that the United States will “take action” in response to Russia's believed interference in the presidential election.
"I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections, that we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing,”

Trump Inserts Knife. Turns.
Donald Trump's barnstorming tour across the states that won him the White House continues to feature far more taunts of triumph than notes of healing after a bruising election.
Thursday's rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, found the president-elect calling for the mostly white crowd to cheer for African-Americans who were "smart" to heed his message and therefore "didn't come out to vote" for his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

A federal agency that helps states select voting systems may have been breached by a hacker.

Well, Well, Well, Comey Broke Federal Rules In His Rush To Find Something On Hillary. Lock Him Up.
Huma Abedin, the longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, asked a U.S. judge on Wednesday to allow her to review a search warrant the FBI used to gain access to emails related to Clinton's private server shortly before the Nov. 8 presidential election...In their letter, Abedin's lawyers said she was unable to evaluate the issue as neither she nor Weiner was provided the warrant itself, despite federal rules requiring authorities to provide a warrant to a person whose property was taken.

Aleppo Destroyed By Assad, Putin and Iran
Watching the fall of the ancient Syrian city of Aleppo has been excruciating.

Thousands more are trapped with no food, water or shelter. “This is a message from someone saying farewell and who could face death or arrest at any time,” a medic wrote on a messaging service. The United Nations called the catastrophe a “complete meltdown of humanity.”

My friend Yvonne left this world last night. She was an extraordinary woman, unlike anyone I have ever met.

Yvonne was Swiss and grew up in hard times during the depression. After her basic schooling she studied nursing and became a midwife, she went on to help our boys in Vietnam courtesy of the Swiss government. The Swiss government also sent her to North Africa where she fell in love with Marrakesh in Morocco. Oh, how she loved Morocco.

She traveled many oceans blue and married a US Army officer and had two children and a grandson she all adored.

Yvonne spoke several languages. She settled in the northeast US for awhile and eventually moved to the Florida Keys where she continued her nursing, including trudging through waist deep water to help injured victims during hurricanes. That is one reason she left Florida for Costa Rica-- too many hurricanes. We often joked that we traded hurricanes for earthquakes and volcanoes.

Ten years ago she settled in Costa Rica and loved the beauty and adventure of the country.

I met Yvonne in 2012. I am a recent friend of hers. Her neighbors, Vicky from the US and Candy from Canada were so helpful to her. Her friends are like reading an international dinner menu. She adored Donato and his mother Ileana who are Italian and took such good care of Yvonne after her surgery and in the recent weeks. She missed her friend Christof who returned to France a few years ago but she still kept in touch with him. And I cannot say enough good things about Yerlin who had been staying nights with her the past few weeks.

One of my last conversations with Yvonne she told me how grateful she was for the loving care she received not only from the medical community but from her Tico friends and I will vouch for that. Costa Rica hearts swell with love naturally, but especially in a time of need.

My long time viewers may remember me posting photos of the time Yvonne and I got stuck on the backroad to Playas del Coco. Or her 80th birthday. Or the time I turned her onto Hawaiian pizza at the Portofino restaurant on Tamarindo Beach. Or our lunch at Capitan Suiz, an elegant resort in Playa Lagarto where the monkeys were dropping "things" on people. I will miss her laugh. Ah, Yvonne, I am not ready for you to leave.

Bon voyage, mon ami, bon voyage.

Je suis de tout cœur avec vous.

Peace.

Abracadabra. AllHatNoCattle is 16 years old today

Sixteen years ago I bought the domain name allhatnocattle.net because I wanted my Florida vote recounted. I was horrified it wasn't in such a close election.  I never dreamed that sixteen years later our voting rights would have been so greatly reduced due to gutting the Voting Rights Act and the constant Republican interference in making it more difficult to vote in state after state after state. No wonder they won.

I feel under siege since the CIA said the Russians hacked into the Democratic National Committee, and more.

And the icing on Trump's cake is convincing America that Putin is our friend by a bunch of his billionaire buddies.

I need to take my AHNC antidepressant pill on her 16th birthday. Thank you everyone for keeping me sane. 😘

Abracadabra.


Did Russia Spy on Donald Trump When He Visited Moscow?
With the Washington Post's bombshell report that the CIA has assessed the Russian hacking of Democratic targets was done as part of a Kremlin operation to help Donald Trump win the election, here's an intriguing question: has Russian intelligence spied on the president-elect and, if so, what private information has it collected on him? A counterintelligence veteran of a Western spy service in October told Mother Jones that he had uncovered information—and had sent it to the FBI...


I can only imagine how YUUUUUUGE the dossier on Trump is and is neatly packed away in Putin's pocket.
