Call The Saudis What They Are: Barbarians
The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi was no aberration. A Vanity Fair investigation reveals how Saudi Arabia attempts to abduct, repatriate—and sometimes murder—citizens it regards as enemies of the state.


Gilroy police said they engaged the shooter within one minute. In that time, he shot 16 people, killing a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. That's the power of automatic weapons. There is NO scenario where a troubled 19-yr-old should be able to buy a weapon of war. - Jennifer Hayden tweet

“I made my way about a mile or so into Badwater Basin around 7:00 p.m., looking for these interesting salt polygons. The temperatures were still well over 100 degrees and the winds were blowing like crazy. Clouds had been hanging around Death Valley all day so I knew there was a good chance for a nice sunset, but I wasn’t expecting anything like this. As the sun started to set behind the distant mountains the sky exploded with colors I’ve never seen at sunset. I was so beautiful that I was having a hard time even taking pictures. Eventually I just had to stop, smile and take it all in.” Photo courtesy of Brandon Moore.

Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal

Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal
President Trump on Friday lashed out at Democrats over their ongoing investigations into his administration, suggesting there should instead be probes into former President Obama's book deal and other activities under his predecessor.



What in the world is Trump going to probe about Obama's book deal? The font size?


Imagine Obama, while running for President, was secretly working to build a hotel in Iran that would make him millions. And imagine Obama repeatedly lied to the American people & denied he had any business deals with Iran.

Imagine how pissed off Republicans would be. - Joe Walsh, Former Republican Congressman

Louisiana Schools Data Held Ransom
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) declared a state-wide emergency this week following cyberattacks on several school districts.
The declaration comes after three local school districts were hit by what local media have described as ransomware attacks, where hackers take over and encrypt vital cyber systems and demand a ransom to release the data.


Those attacking Robert Mueller’s style rather than the substance of his report are doing so for a reason. - Josh Campbell

Mitch McConnell Blocks Legislation That Would Make It Harder For Russians To Vote. - Andy Borowitz






The Russians Had The Ability To Change Voter Data in 2016. Do You Think They Did? 
A Senate Intelligence Committee report on Thursday indicated that Russian hackers “were in a position to delete or change voter data” in Illinois in 2016, but found no evidence that such a thing happened.
The report also found that Russia targeted election systems in all 50 states.






If you're wondering how batsh*t-crazy Trump's 2020 campaign is going to get, please keep in mind that he is running for re-election with full knowledge that losing means he'll likely be prosecuted for crimes he committed as the sitting president of the United States. - Jon Zal
