It is F!%k Cancer Friday.
I am happy to report my mom is still kicking cancer's ass and we have two more rounds of treatment to go until we get the clearest picture yet of how much ass kicking we have really done. We are feeling good and staying positive. Mom has been a trooper.
During the last couple weeks, I have gotten a bit more involved with certain cancer support groups and the like. It has helped me gain tremendous perspective and has helped me cultivate gratitude. In the last couple weeks I also had a friend inform me that his dad...
Has developed cancer & his prognosis is very hard to hear. He has a tough path before him. The way the news rocked his world... the fear... the anger... the frustration... now he is going through it all too. Another friend, 2 yrs younger than myself, was also diagnosed this wk
And he is shellshocked by the news. We spoke and hearing the same words fall from his mouth that fell from mine when my mother was diagnosed in Jan...it is surreal.
Cancer makes life surreal. It speeds it up and slows it down all at once. It is truly jarring.
But all of us are marching forward with cautious optimism. And we all have each other to talk to. Some folks with cancer may not want to talk about their problems with other ppl. And that's their choice. But having friends and family to see you through...
it really can ease the burden. A bit of encouragement, levity, a bit of commiseration... it helps. It makes it all feel less insurmountable and the perspective is priceless.
So, if you dont have cancer but know someone who does...
check in today. Just shoot a line, say hi. Offer a helping hand. Offer your time. Just listen as they talk, if that is the only thing you can do for your friend. Not all ppl with cancer want the same things or need the same things but it never hurts...
To reach out and say, Hey. I am thinking about you today and just want you to know - if you want to just vent for a few minutes about anything, I've got your back.

The little things in life, like a friend being generous with their time, is a beautiful thing.

As we round out the week, let’s talk about Bijan Kian, Michael Flynn’s former business associate who was indicted by the U.S. gov’t on allegations that he caused Flynn Intel Group, the company they operated together, to falsify its FARA registration.
Tuck in.
THREAD:
What happened last month: during a status conference at USDC EDVA, where Kian will face trial in July, Kian won access to attorney files belonging to FIG’s former counsel at Covington & Burling.
The contention between the govt and Kian was that much of the information Kian wants to prepare for trial in July is protected by atty-client privilege, which belonged to Flynn and FIG.

The Climate Action Now bill has passed in the House, 231-190.
It will likely die in the Senate and even if not, Trump has already said he would veto it. But as the first piece of climate legislation to hit the House floor in 10 years, this is still significant day.
I'll have a story coming up for @CourthouseNews.

AG Barr has refused to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, citing issues with the use of an outside atty for questioning. His refusal, according to committee chairman @RepJerryNadler, means he might be held in contempt of congress. Hearing on deck for 9AM ET.
The chairman of this committee has what appears to be a bucket of KFC chicken placed before him., which, one can safely assume, will be used as a prop when Barr is called a chicken for not testifying.
This is an affront to delicious fried chicken everywhere! (I'm kidding, dont @ me)

#TheReal911Report #The911CoverUp
The videos and pictures from the last series of threads were mostly done to grab everyone's attention. Some of what was previously posted even I would consider to be circumstantial evidence. This is NOT. These are prosecutable criminal offenses
I got so pissed off going though my research in order to put this together. Everyone please get this information out! The work has already been done. This isn't open to interpretation, these are documented facts. We need to find attorneys with the balls to take on these murderers
Those responsible for 9/11 are the same ones that did the investigation and forensic analysis to determine who was responsible. Lets start with this. The D.O.E. withheld sensing equipment for three weeks so an accurate temperature reading couldn't be taken. (Boots were melting)

Thread: On Rules of Engagement Plus More, Part II

1. Bad rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq got people killed, needlessly. Part I of this series provided an overview of what ROEs are in general, with some expert commentary on bad ROEs, etc.
2. Part II continues commentary from a couple of folks who wish to remain anonymous (special ops, covert CIA contractor, Marine) on Iraq ROEs and the politicization of both the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns. I then wrap up the series with a short summary and conclusions.
3. <begin quotes> Same-o for Iraq, but by then the FBI had honed their skills at causing grief. I hate to say it, but I once let three guys get away that had lit me up with a PKM at night, landing me (alone) on the side of the road.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I was about to call it a night, but okay since you're here bear with me.

First, let me start out by saying that I respect you as a veteran and thank you for your service to the safety of our country.
As the son and grandson of two vets, I can't say enough about the sacrifice that you guys make. So thank you. That said, I bet there's stuff that we agree on and perhaps more that we don't. But that's life amongst humans.
But what I take most exception to is the way that you've attacked pros, calling for companies to fire some, going after them in ways that go beyond the personal. I know you think it's just a light roasting and why do they take it so seriously and sperg out?

(THREAD--7 tweets). Yesterday I said that I agreed completely with the tweeters who approved of the decision of Michael Schmidt at the NYT to let Trump free associate, without challenges, at the “impromptu” interview at Mar-a-Lago. tinyurl.com/yd49823x
1/ Now we have WaPo reporting that WH staff and advisers were “surprised,” “frustrated,” and “embarrassed” by that freewheeling interview, where none of them were present. tinyurl.com/yaggqz5c
2/ The article doesn’t say what the staffers and advisers were “frustrated” and “embarrassed” about, but the interview gave them plenty of reason to feel that way.
