The cell grows, like all cells do.

But something is wrong in this particular cell. A signal that normally tells it to stop growing doesn’t activate the way it’s supposed to. The cell grows and divides, and grows and divides, and grows and divides.

It becomes immortal... 1/

She doesn’t know anything is wrong at first.

A year from now, when she finally discovers what grows within her, she will think back to this moment and wonder when that first cell turned traitorous.

For now, her mind is filled with the beautiful mundane. 2/

She is enjoying making plans, vacations with her family, working on some art projects she loves, spending time with her husband and kids, reading her beloved poetry.

The sands of time stretch infinitely in her mind, the edges of the hourglass hidden just out of sight. 3/

I'm not worried, because there are enough of us that IF there is still a two-tiered system of justice when Trump leaves office, we can simply refuse to recognize its validity and it will collapse.

They are few, and we are legion. I highly doubt it'll come to that, but we'll win.

You know how our Founders EXPECTED us to behave if our government ever became tyrannical? They expected us to stop paying taxes. To refuse to attend court dates. To become self-sufficient. To ignore the government.

A government requires the consent of the governed, always.

They can claim such actions are "illegal", according to their manufactured institutional chains of servitude.

But THEY are the ones who are illegal, according to natural law. We are made in the image of God, not Government.

The State is subservient.

@realDonaldTrump While this witness talks of feeling threatened, people try to make connections between me and Seth Rich (screenshot included) as well. [wrong, to put it lightly]

In the course of discussing gender relations from a Biblical standpoint, one commenter--discussing Ephesians 5--talked about men being willing to die for their wives.

And while that is part of this, that's not all there is to the husband's responsibilities.

First of all, men, you need to be honest. And I say this as someone who carries a firearm and works on a security detail at my church.

Even in my case--thank God--the chances of me needing to take (or give) a bullet for my wife are very slim.

Your Ephesians 5 responsibilities are HUGE, and--truth be told--NONE OF US gets all of these right all the time. I do these like it's a military mission, and I find myself short of the glory.

OCONUS LURES & Confidential Informants In The News

@drawandstrike

Here's what people need to remember: Obama spent 8 years trying to get that Iran Deal done. To accomplish it, he had to stay in the good graces of the Iranian mullah's #1 benefactor: Russia's Vladimir Putin.

Hence, the "Russian Reset", Skolkovo Initiative, U1, etc.

This is also why Obama dared not take any action at all to enforce that 'red line' in Syria, or speak up to loudly when Putin annexed Crimea & then invaded Ukraine.

And now we know of ANOTHER COMPELLING REASON Obama had to stay on Putin's good side.

Ambassador Yovanovitch was just testifying about this: the former unbelievably corrupt President of Ukraine, to whom the US & others were funneling BILLIONS of dollars thru IMF...was a Putin puppet.

We were essentially feeding billions to a corrupt Putin puppet gov't.

John Stoehr's Editorial Board

@johnastoehr

1. This morning saw the second stage of public hearings in the House investigation into impeachable offenses by the president. Today’s witness was Marie Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Ukraine. She was pushed out by the Trump administration.

2. I have to get this newsletter out soon, so I’ll digest her testimony later. For now, I’m going to focus on the opening statement by Devin Nunes. I won’t bore you by decoding it bit by bit, but I do want to raise awareness of a larger theme: what he’s doing is fascism.

3. I don’t mean to dismiss Nunes by using the F-word. To the contrary, I’m using that word to draw attention squarely to his statements and deeds, and to the stakes we are facing.

Okay, we're back in session at the Ambassador Yovanovitch hearing.

If you missed the morning session and want to catch up, that thread can be found here.

Feel free to mute this thread if you aren't interested...

Devin "I'm Suing a Make-Believe Cow" Nunes opens the afternoon session with a snotty, sarcastic, insipid prattle about Yovanovitch "graduating" from secret tryouts to make it to the public hearing team.

He is such an effing dunce.

It never fails to astound me just how successful Devin Nunes is at reminding you of his sheer stupidity.

You would think by the law of averages, he would someday accidentally say something semi-bright.

Nope, 24/7 dopiness.

Gonna start a new thread for the afternoon testimony. Reminder: I'm using Yov for Yovanovitch's not out of disrespect but to avoid butchering her name.

Conaway suggesting that Schiff provided paper copies of the slides from this morning bc the screen in front of the witness was not working this morning.

Nunes making much of "secret depositions." Now claiming that she has admitted not having open knowledge of issues they're looking into.

That's a gross misrepresentation of what she said.

Making my way through agent's notes this weekend and... he & his assistant are awesome. I did this thing that I have dealt with as an academic editor...

"What do you mean, you don't see it? It's right there on the page!"

LOL. Humans. Only thing we can't see is our own faces. 🙃

Me, as a PhD student: My advisor and committee are having me do the most with these methods. Isn't it obvious how I conducted this study?

Me, as an assistant prof: These journal editors are trippin. First, the methods section is too short, then it's too long. What do they want?

Me, as a PhD advisor: OK, so I know you know what you did there, and as your mentor, I see what you did there, but it's not on the page.

Me, as a research journal editor: Hey, so here's how you should refine this methods section. Give us the "news" of your research design...

As someone whose covered Donald Trump’s for at least six years, it can’t be overstated how much Roger Stone was the architect of the president’s political career

There was a time when Trump’s campaign was basically just The Donald, Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, and Sam Nunberg. Two of those men have now been convicted. If you’d like a small window into that time check out this story. google.com/amp/s/www.yaho…

I *think* this story was the first time I covered Trump and Stone together. Roger, Sam, and I went out for burgers in Union Square. I had no idea how much our lives were all about to change. talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/what-are-do…

While news of the Saugus shooting was spreading yesterday, I was deep in a four-hour conversation with a big homie who had been shot at point blank range three different times as a youth.

At age 16, a bullet grazed his spine and left him in a wheelchair. He was told he would never walk again. But then he woke up one day a year+ later with sensation having returned to his legs. So he got himself back on his feet.

Slow, in leg braces, and on crutches, he got caught in a rival 'hood not too much later. Next thing he knew, someone was standing over him, pumping bullets into him. Trying to cover his head, he took 4 bullets to the forearm that would have otherwise been buried in his brain.
