    West Virginia Governor Jim Justice confirmed Cline’s death on Twitter but offered no details on how it happened. “Today we lost a WV superstar and I lost a very close friend. Our families go back to the beginning of the Cline empire - Pioneer Fuel. Chris Cline built an empire and on every occasion was always there to give. What a wonderful, loving, and giving man,” Justice said. “Cathy and I are praying for his family and all those involved in this tragedy,” Justice said. Cline died the day before his 62nd birthday and was a native of Beckley, West...

  • Va. delegate apologizes to Sarah Huckabee Sanders for rudeness of 'Meryl Streep's cousin'

    A Virginia state delegate for the town where Sarah Huckabee Sanders was refused service Friday night criticized the restaurant owner with the ultimate Trump-country insult — she has ties to Hollywood. Del. Ben Cline, a Republican who also is running for the U.S. House this November, dropped the “Meryl bomb” Saturday in a tweet apologizing to Mrs. Sanders, the chief White House spokeswoman. “On behalf of my hometown of Lexington, I want to apologize for the rudeness of one liberal New York transplant (who also happens to be Meryl Streep’s cousin),” he wrote of restaurateur Stephanie Wilkinson, who since Friday...
  • John Brennan’s Plot to Infiltrate the Trump Campaign

    s Trump won primary after primary in 2016, a rattled John Brennan started claiming to colleagues at the CIA that Estonia’s intelligence agency had alerted him to an intercepted phone call suggesting Putin was pouring money into the Trump campaign. The tip was bogus, but Brennan bit on it with opportunistic relish. Out of Brennan’s alarmist chatter about the bogus tip came an extraordinary leak to the BBC: that Brennan had used it, along with later half-baked tips from British intelligence, as the justification to form a multi-agency spy operation (given the Orwellian designation of an “inter-agency taskforce”) on the...
  • FBI working to soften potential blow if top-secret informant is exposed: report

    The FBI has been working in recent weeks to soften the blow if the identity of a top-secret informant who fed information to investigators early on in the Russia investigation is revealed. The Washington Post reported on Thursday that FBI officials have been taking steps to reduce the potential damage to other investigations the informant is involved in and protect associates, in the event that the source is outed. The scramble to mitigate the potential harm comes as allies of President Trump hone in on the informant's role in the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia....

    "The founding of the United States was among the most dramatic and glorious events in history. For the first time, a nation was founded on the principle of individual rights. Those interested in learning about America’s founding and its cause may turn to history texts. But history texts, even when their content is accurate, tend to be dry accounts of events. They lack the excitement of an adventure novel. Yet most novels set in the Revolutionary period are not good sources of information: Being works of fiction, they may take liberties with historical fact; and they often employ the American...

If I'm correct in my research his direct ancestor Abraham Honaker made the gorgeous flintlock rifle I've talked about in other threads. Don just uploaded this video, it's worth watching. Don is another old curmudgeon, and us curmudgeons stick together, blood kin or not.

    Matthew apparently reached out for help on iFunny, a mobile app with comedic photos and videos he often frequented, posting on July 16 that he was going to take his own life. According to Matthew’s mother, a girl named Ana was perusing the site when she saw the teen boy’s post. Ana immediately called the Suicide Prevention Hotline, whose operators said that without Matthew’s address they wouldn’t be able to help him. They advised Ana to find out which city he lived in and call local police. The girl was able to trace Matthew’s iFunny post to his Facebook account,...

    The Cline Shale is huge, liquids-rich and deliciously sweet The Barnett Shale? That’s so last week. The Eagle Ford? Been there, done that. Not that there’s anything wrong with these two fields in Texas, of course. It’s just that much of their initial “boom” has already come to pass. Now they’re just about churning out steady and rising production. For many E&P firms — and investors — finding the field in its “boom” phase is key to getting amazing growth and portfolio returns. Luckily, a little-known field in West Texas could be the next hot ticket for energy producers —...

    This happened last month, but I just learned of the case because the trial court decision was just posted on Westlaw; Cline is appealing the removal. The decision is here; a newspaper article on the subject is here; the statute authorizing the removal, N.C. Gen. Stats. § 7A-66(6), provides that a D.A. may be removed by a court for “[c]onduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the office into disrepute.” ... partly because it comes on the heels of the ouster of D.A. Nifong — Cline was the first D.A. elected following Nifong’s ouster, and had worked for...

    The CIA's search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has found no evidence that former president Saddam Hussein tried to transfer chemical or biological technology or weapons to terrorists, according to a military and intelligence expert. Anthony Cordesman, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, provided new details about the weapons search and Iraqi insurgency in a report released Friday. It was based on briefings over the past two weeks in Iraq from David Kay, the CIA representative who is directing the search for unconventional weapons in Iraq; L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civil administrator...

    ST. LOUIS--On March 30, a national veterans’ organization called for the removal of President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney for crimes the group charges were committed during the invasion and occupation of Iraq. In a letter sent to each member of the US House and Senate, Veterans For Peace (VFP) stated that “...This administration’s war on Iraq, in addition to being increasingly unpopular among Americans, is an unmistakable violation of our Constitution and federal law which you have sworn to uphold. In our system, the remedy for such high crimes is clear: this administration must be impeached.” David...

    At first, the estimate was grim, a subway rider's nightmare. It could take up to five years to get the A and C trains running normally after a fire in an underground signal relay room last month. Then the forecast improved: transit officials said it would take only six to nine months to fix the disruptions. Now the estimate has come down once more. The new prognosis for restoration of most service on the subway lines? Today. Just nine days and 15 hours after the fire. The president of New York City Transit, Lawrence G. Reuter, announced yesterday that C...

    Didn't Rush Limbaugh used to be pro-law and order? Now that the once conservative commentator finds himself on the wrong side of a police investigation, he and his lawyers are accusing prosecutors and other members of the law enforcement community of concocting a vast, politically motivated conspiracy against him. Not even the most linguini-spined liberal would have the gall to spew such irresponsible nonsense. Limbaugh recently completed treatment for an acknowledged addiction to prescription drugs, and Florida prosecutors are investigating evidence that he may have broken the law by going "doctor shopping" to acquire his massive supplies of OxyContin and...
