Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
My cousin Kabar will often post thoughtful and up-to-date commentary. Check it out.

I don't know this Michelle Wolf character but what I do know is she is NOT funny.
Even IF the routine mocked people, it should still be a little bit funny.
Below, a quote about the alleged comedic routine.
"Wolf added that she was not sure whether Sanders was going to divide the reporters into softball teams, or tell a “bunch of lies,” or a give a press briefing.
“I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. Like she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye,” she said. “Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lice … It’s probably lice.”
Wolf told the audience that she wasn’t sure what to call Sanders, questioning whether she should call her “Aunty Huckabee Sanders” or “Cousin Huckabee.”
“What is Uncle Tom, but for white women who disappoint other white women?” she asked. “I know. Aunty Coulter.”
The audience in the room was noticeably uncomfortable as Sanders sat at the head table without smiling.
Some White House staffers at the dinner walked out, and some even shared their disgust at the comedy routine on Twitter."

How they caught the Golden State killer
I am a bit of a true crime buff and the way the Golden State killer was caught is just plain intriguing.
Back in the 70's and 80's when this fine man went on a murder rampage, killing 14 people and raping 45 women, they didn't have the DNA analysis that they have today.
They had plenty of DNA on this guy, as he tended to help himself to food and drinks after raping his victims, he left smoked cigarettes….etc.
Only the DNA science back in that day was not as sophisticated as it became after the turn of the century.
So while the DNA saved over the years was plentiful, and while the analysis involved in identifying the owner of a DNA sample, unfortunately there was no DNA on file for the Golden State Killer. In other words, they had his DNA identified and if there was another DNA sample available from the man, he could have been identified.
What they did was go to one of those Ancestory DNA sites and using the DNA collected from many years ago, matched to someone who used this service to, I don't know, find out if they are from Finland or some such.
THEN it was a matter of investigating all of this person's close relatives with a close match of the DNA collected from the Golden State killer many years ago.
It took a while, but they found the guy and got yet another, current, DNA sample out of the guy's trash and boom, a MATCH!
So if you use those ancestor match things know that your DNA could be used to find your brother guilty of crimes from many years ago.
It's not illegal and the legal papers signed for this thing specifically state that you DNA can be used to solve a crime.
Fascinating.

I have very mixed emotions about Mark Levin. He's a smart man and a good writer. Most times he hosts a pretty good radio show.
But his new show "Life, Liberty and Levin", airing on Sunday nights on Fox News at 10 pm, is simply an awful show.
One week he had Ed Meese as a guest! Bear in mind that Mark sits and talks with only one guest for the entire show.
At times this might work, like when the guest is currently in the news. James Comey, at this point in time, makes a pretty good single guest.
But Ed Meese? Who the hell remembers him?
Understand that I kind of remember him and Mark did work with the guy during the Reagan era.
Boring, man…boring.
I've watched Mark's show three times now.
Never again.

Some political cartoons for a smile.
On a personal note…..
A famed FreeRepublic commentator, very active on this thread in fact, recently posted a missive to start a march on Washington D.C. It was posted under Breaking News and was, and still is, an object of discussion.
Because folks, we are sick of those bunch of Feeble Reprobates trying to take down our fairly elected president.
So I sit and wonder ….are we just going to let this happen?
Because I remember Richard Nixon and the Scooter Libby joke, two people whose lives were ruined due to stupid FBI research with a little help from the evil media.
Nixon just sat around, like a typical Republican, and did nothing until time came for him to just quit.
Scooter was VP Cheney's Chief of Staff and Cheney needed to be punished. So the awful Fitzgerald prosecutor had him arrested for something he knew Libby did NOT do.
President Trump, thank goodness, recently pardoned Libby because George Dubya Bush, one of the biggest presidential disappointments in our history, pardoned Libby so he wouldn't lose his law license but never fully gave a pardon.
George Dubya….a real loser-burger.
Because Scooter Libby did not call CIA cafeteria worker a secret spy, which she is not.
Even though Richard Armitage it was revealed told about Valeria Plame and her famed spaghetti dinners, Fitzgeral did not care about the truth.
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH!!!
They want to take a President down and Trump will be going down soon.
Are we going to sit and take it?
I love Rush Limbaugh, but he's chickening out, one leader who can create national bake sales overnight and who loved George Dubya, by the way.
But Rush, he wants his fame. He's not getting involved in any citizen protest.
We've got to stop these people and I have some ideas.
For now, carry on.
