Advocacy groups and others have called the Committee, topically, a Potemkin Village. intended to validate Trump's delusion that millions of illegal ballots caused him to loss the popular vote.  And, to lay the groundwork for legislation to suppress opposition to Republican candidates.

The advocacy group, Public Citizen, argues that the commission is violating the federal Privacy Act by designating the US Army to collect data on voter's registrations and voting histories as well as other identifying data such as partial SS numbers and birth dates.

But I think this is going to be the counterpunch, and I think it's going to miss by a mile with everyone but Trump supporters...

or maybe Mutt.  i havent decided.

i stopped in my vet this morning to pick the drugs.  damn dogs meds cost way more per month than mine.

anyway,  Bob was being dropped off for boarding.  apparently he was a stray who showed up in this guys yard.  he tried to keep him but the dog has major separation anxiety and the guy works.  so it wasnt working out.  he was destructive when left along so he had been giving him some kind anti anxiety drug that had the poor little guy totally stoned.  So he brought him to the vet to get all his shots and try to find him a home.

a.  this sounds like something i would do.  i was really moved by the guys efforts.
b.  i thought it was to strange that i walked in at the exact moment to hear this.
c.  we seemed to hit it off instantly.  i felt called.

we started talking and agreed i would take him and see how it went with the understanding i could bring him back if it did not work out.

so hes been here for a few hours.  hes fine with the other dogs and its all good so far.  but he is just beginning to sober up enough to know where he is.

"One of the things with the wall is, you need transparency," Trump said. "You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through the wall--so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall."

"And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them--they hit you in the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over," Trump said. "As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall."

"Consider yourself. I want you to imagine a scene from your childhood. Pick something evocative... Something you can remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all, you really were there at the time, weren't you? How else would you remember it? But here is the bombshell: you WEREN'T there. Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place. Every bit of you has been replaced many times over... The point is that you are like a cloud: something that persists over long periods, whilst simultaneously being in flux. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made."

In their crash report, Palm Beach Gardens police listed Williams as "at fault" in the June 9 wreck. But on Friday, citing surveillance video, police said the tennis star "lawfully entered" the intersection where the crash happened....
... Palm Beach Gardens Police Maj. Paul Rogers said the agency still hasn't determined who's at fault

Was there ever a more profound expression of familial commitment?

"My son is a high-quality person and I applaud his transparency," Trump said in a brief statement read to reporters by White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.

But he wants a potential FBI director Wray to give CBP some guidance in this area or some such whatever.

it notes what would have been the 79th birthday of Eiko Isioka

You can see what the director was trying to do: make a sweeping David Lean-like saga with mythic overtones of the history of one family scarred though being caught up in the historical maelstrom of the western Indian wars up through WWI..
