Judge Ken Starr, special prosecutor of Clintons fame, is pushing his new book Contempt that details the in and outs of the Clinton investigations. On FN last night he made the surprise announcement that he and his team almost indicted Crooked Hillary who was questioned by Starr for all her dirty doings and wasn’t able to help matters by telling her interrogators over 300 times that she had forgotten all about the salient goings on in her shady past. We know that she gathered strength from Starr’s ethical conduct – he knew she was crooked, but by his high standards for evidence that was lacking, he did not go forward with the indictment. Meanwhile, Hillary went on to embellish her reputation as a bad ass bitch who was not and still is not accountable to anyone.
Sen Feinstein has been sitting on a letter she received last July that supposedly has the telling dirt on Judge Kavanaugh. The anonymous letter is rumored to detail something from Kavanaugh’s high school years that would torpedo his SCOTUS nomination. California’s scumbag senator has been sitting on this apparently nothing-burger deciding to threaten to reveal it now that everything else the Dems have tried has not worked. So she kept this scurrilous script for a last minute desperation Hail Mary lob into the gears of the Senate, stating that she has given it to the FBI, and all things on the Kavanaugh confirmation should grind to a halt until the FBI completes its hoped for investigation. This is how scumbags operate.
Puerto Rico has been the closest thing to a shithole country that the United States has had the pleasure of dealing with since the Spanish-American War. Its culture is distinctly Latin, with all that this unfortunate baggage entails. For generations its population, US citizens all, have had one of two objectives – make it on the island’s take in corruption, or make it to the US. Nobody there considers the island and its established power structure as anything fixable. But still, our progressive elites today are convincing their light-thinking lackeys that PR’s problems started with Trump not giving enough federal aid after Hurricane Maria devastated the island – that is blatant BS. Sixty years ago it was already a place to leave as Leonard Bernstein made clear in his West Side Story.
[16sep18 update] The lyrics to 'America' that I originally posted here from a website turned out to be considerably abbreviated. As a commenter pointed out, a critical phrase was omitted. Upon further research, there were even more phrases left out. It turns out that there were at least two versions of lyrics to this and other WSS songs. Anyway, I have deleted the incomplete version and give you a link to a site that seems to have the complete versions from both the Broadway show and the 1961 film. The message re Puerto Rico remains unchanged. (Enjoy the video here.)
,,,guess what,,,Puerto Rico is part of America,,,that makes America a shithole country!!!

No "M", Detroit is part of America too but not an example for the rest of the country. You crack me up.

For those that think Academe is fair and balanced. Evergreen College has screwed itself allowing the extreme liberals on campus to run the asylum. Now they have lost one half of their freshman class.

Yes, absolutely, no question that Leonard Bernstein from 60 years ago is the go-to expert on American foreign policy today.

,,,George missed couple of lines in his transcript,,,
'''Life is all right in America,
If you're ALL-WHITE in America'''!!!

M 216pm - Thanks much. The site where I did the copy and paste must have also missed. It’s an important line to be included at the time.
TrickyM 109pm - Why would you make that outrageous assessment, I didn’t? But I do think it’s important to establish what PR was then and what it still is today, and Bernstein had the ‘then’ nailed. Finally, what does “American foreign policy” have to do with PR? Are you not aware of the role of PR in sphere of American lands and territories?
Posted by: George Rebane | 14 September 2018 at 04:15 PM
M at 2:16 - Yeah, it's just awful. That must have been why they all wanted to move here.
Hey folks - didja notice all over the world people that aren't white risk their lives and spend all their money to get away from any country run by non-whites and flee to countries run by whites?
Must be cause we're just sooooooo racist.
Right.

GR 1309 - I apologize, I’ve always considered PR to be an inaccessible island. Doesn’t that make this a foreign policy issue?
Posted by: Tricky McClean | 14 September 2018 at 06:58 PM
TrickyM 658pm - PR is plenty accessible, it is just ignored for all the obvious reasons. Ask yourself, why could they not be more like Hawaii (which itself is no paragon of free enterprise and commerce), since they are tropical with many beaches and scenic inland mountains, and super close to the most populous part of the US. Short answer, the place is a dump, and it goes down from there ...
The begging question - why is it a dump?

Re: Ken Starr
Listened to Ken Starr’s interview on the radio this morning. Interesting. Janet Reno did her job. Vince Foster’s death in Starr’s mind was 100% a suicide, no doubt in his mind. So toss that conspiracy theory out. Interestingly, Linda Tripp was Foster’s executive assistant at the time and was questioned about Vince Foster’s death.
The Feds were already on the ground investigating Whitewater before Starr’s appointment to Special Investigator. They were already investigating the collapse of Jim McDougal’s Madison Guarenty (bank) and Jim and Susan McDougal’s investment with the Clinton’s into the Whitewater development...represented by the Rose Law Firm. Years later, Linda Tripp approached the Starr team saying there is a young lady (Monica) in the White House who was applying pressure for Tripp to sign a false affidavit in the Paula Jones civil case.
Starr took the new charges to Reno, who in turn had her justice lawyers look at it, and Reno assigned Starr to investigate it. Reno, a person I have disparaged, turns out to being a good cop at that time. Did her job.
I won’t be buying Starr’s book, but for those who are interested in revisiting the Starr investigation, here is a video clip from the radio.

I get a kick out of "m" and Steve Frish's stupid racist remarks. I think all people living in America are fortunate because of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I'm not the only one. After reading Keith Richburg's book "Out of America" many years ago I thought it should be required reading in our high schools, but realized it would never happen.
Keith Richburg was thrilled to get to go to Africa on assignment to write about its progress. His family originally were slaves brought to America, and he looked forward to his ancestry....but, nothing in Keith Richburg's long and respected journalistic career at the Washington Post prepared him for what he would encounter as the paper's correspondent in Africa. He found a continent where brutal murder had become routine, where dictators and warlords silenced dissent with machine guns and machetes, and where starvation had become depressingly common. With a great deal of personal anguish, Richburg faced a difficult question: If this is Africa, what does it mean to be an African American? Well, he surmised he'd probably be dead, and would never been able to achieve what he was able to become and accomplish in America. He too realized he was an American!
In this provocative and unvarnished account of his three years on the continent of his ancestors, Richburg takes us on a extraordinary journey that sweeps from Somalia to South Africa, showing how he confronted the divide between his African racial heritage and his American cultural identity. This is an exciting terrific book...

Regarding the OMG from Frisch after M/Keachie's snide correction to the lyrics.
Rita Moreno was born in Puerto Rico and the scene from WSS that she absolutely stole was filmed when she was 30 or so. She won an Oscar for that movie (Best Supporting Actress). She also won Emmys, Grammies and Toneys. Not bad for a girl from Puerto Rico in America.
The male lead in the scene was played by George Chakiris, born in Ohio with parents who were off the boat from Greece and yes, he won the bookend Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. No, he wasn't Puerto Rican or any other Rican, but it's called Acting for a reason.
Not bad for two ethnics lost in White Amerika, eh, assholes?
Screw you, Frisch. Screw you, M.

No, Trickie Dougie, the post of 946pm was the only cathartic needed.
Screw you and the horse you rode in on.
And I mean that most sincerely.
