Cat hair helps nab woman accused of mailing bombs to President Obama and Texas Governor Abbott.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A Texas woman is accused of sending homemade bombs to President Barack Obama and Texas Governor Greg Abbott that prosecutors say could have maimed or killed the two leaders.

They matched the DNA of the cat hair found in the bomb packages with one of her cats. I would have liked to have seen that warrant application.

Texas congressman Joe Barton says police investigating after nude photo surfaces. Joe Barton was the schmuck who apologized to the CEO of BP for his treatment by the Obama administration just because one of BP’s oil wells was pumping millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Flynn’s legal team cuts ties to Trump lawyers. It appears that Flynn is looking for a deal after concluding that Trump isn’t going to pardon him, or he is facing state charges in addition to Mueller’s possible charges.

A video report on the news that Trump SoHo Hotel owner pays Trumps to leave as business flounders. The Trump Organization had a marketing & management contract with the hotel/condo building. The building has major problems, many related to being associated with the Trump brand. Not only does Trump not own the building, it isn’t in SoHo.

That stupid woman needs to be locked up and away from general population! Thank goodness for the cat hairs.

She was apparently angry because someone discovered that she was attempting to cheat Social Security and refused her claim.

3 Kryten42 { 11.26.17 at 7:48 pm }

Yes! I tweeted about that. The crazies are getting even more crazy! *sigh*

Bryan… As you know I do a lot of work with petitions. Mostly Australian of course. But now & then for other countries. One popped up for Miami, though you might be interested. 🙂

Stop Donald Trump by recalling Mayor Carlos Gimenez

4 Bryan { 11.26.17 at 9:11 pm }

What he needs is the signatures of registered voters in Miami to start the recall process. Miami is an international city with immigrants and citizens from all over the world, not just Cuba and Haiti. Gimenez got elected with the support of the Calle Ocho [Eighth Street] conservative Republican machine. It is experiencing an influx of Puerto Ricans, and those pushing for recall should get them registered in the county so they can vote. Puerto Ricans are not going to vote with Drumpf after his treatment of the island and as American citizens they can register and vote when they move to the mainland.

Thanks Bryan. I figured from past discussions it wouldn’t be that simple. 😀

Here… I think you need a treat! Watch this new NZ Police recruitment video! 😆 Love it! (It was posted by NZ Police on FB)

NZ Police Recruitment

Well, I needed that! May even move to NZ. Though I think my LEO days are way behind me! 😉 😀

6 Bryan { 11.26.17 at 10:40 pm }

That is a major hoot 😆 You have to watch it a couple of times to get all of the jokes.

And they just elected a Labor female prime minister with a sense of humor, after boring conservatives with flag fetishes.

7 Kryten42 { 11.27.17 at 3:40 am }

I love the Police Kitty! But too short. need Mooowar! 😆 😆

Made my day! Month even!

8 Bryan { 11.27.17 at 8:49 am }

That was one of the things I was talking about when I suggested watching it twice, because I wanted to be sure I saw it.

9 Kryten42 { 11.27.17 at 4:31 pm }

The purse snatching dog was a nice touch too. Even the bloopers during the credits. 😀

It was quite well done I thought. I hope they all had fun doing it. 😀

10 hipparchia { 11.27.17 at 7:27 pm }

cops who do parkour! that video made me want to move to new Zealand too.

11 Bryan { 11.27.17 at 9:19 pm }

if any of my local LEOs tried to run more that a block they would collapse. Except for the earthquakes it would be a great place to retire. The people looked like they were having fun, and the bosses who approved it are obviously not of the “law and order” absurdity that we have to put up with in the US.

12 Kryten42 { 11.28.17 at 12:44 am }

Here, for another laugh (closer to home!)

Obama, not Donald Trump, may be invited to Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Well… I think it’d be hilarious!🤯💥🤣

13 Kryten42 { 11.28.17 at 1:24 am }

Well… At first I thought this was a surprise. But then I realized no. They just realize what will happen. Ie: less income!

“Don’t Cut Our Taxes,” Say 400+ Very Wealthy Americans. “Raise Them.”

14 Kryten42 { 11.28.17 at 8:02 am }

Soooo… This!

Basically, the entire World will now be completely f*cked because some group of thoughtless, inconsiderate, greedy morons in the USA want to make more money?!

Oh… DUH!

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the GOP puppet Ajit Pai was complicit, at the least!

How a bot made 1 million comments against net neutrality look genuine

15 Bryan { 11.28.17 at 11:57 am }

A friendship developed between Harry and Obama over the years and they have been present together at several of Harry’s Invictus events. Ms Markle has been staying in Canada to keep away from Drumpf, so she for damn sure would veto any attempt to include him in her wedding, even if there wasn’t the problem of security.

Things like the US infrastructure need to be fixed and that can’t happen without tax revenue. Two-thirds of US GDP is based on consumption and people without money don’t buy things. If the purpose is to boost the economy, you target tax reduction at the bottom, because people at the bottom will spend the extra money and boost the GDP by increasing demand for products. If you are at the top, you will get a bigger boost over a longer time frame by tax cuts at the bottom and improvement in the infrastructure that is used by the upper half.

A US Twitter friend created this website to collate all relevant info, documents & data about all the crap going on in the USA (a lot more than most people think!)

Also, this was posted on SCRIBD. It’s long!

Russian White Paper

17 Bryan { 11.28.17 at 9:41 pm }

Someone, possibly in a comment to Trump’s slur directed at Senator Elizabeth Warren, said that the Navajo Code-Talkers should have given Trump the name “Dances with Putin”. I can’t find it again, but it is a thing of snarky beauty. 😆

18 Badtux { 11.29.17 at 3:24 pm }

Regarding your Florida cops and running — they don’t have to be fast. They just have to be faster than their natural prey, the barbecue sandwich and the donut.

Given all the “Florida Man” headlines out of Florida, obviously the cops there are too busy hunched over laughing hilariously to be running anyhow. Though today’s headlines are none too funny. Sigh. Cutting the tails off of kittens?!

19 Kryten42 { 11.29.17 at 7:52 pm }

Here… the laughs continue!

Trump Falls Flat On His Face By Attacking The Wrong Theresa May On Twitter

Actually… it’s not even funny anymore. Just add it to the huge list of “What has the moronic f*ckwit done now?”

Dammit! I’m full of morphine & typing on my little tablet without glasses, I forgot to bring them. So many errors… Nurse is kindly fixing them & laughing! Typical. 😉

20 Bryan { 11.29.17 at 9:28 pm }

Over here it is deep fried something with sweet tea and more hush puppies than doughnuts, but you have to keep up with the dogs for a block before you collapse.

As for the guy cutting off kitten tails – cut off something from is front to remind him he did wrong.

Yeah, the fool has annoyed Piers Morgan and Boris Johnson, as well as Theresa May. My personal guess is that Mueller is starting to become real and he realized things are not going to blow over. When Mueller teamed up with New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman the ‘yogurt’ got very deep. Schneiderman can prosecute any financial misdeeds making Presidential pardons worthless. No matter what his attorneys are telling him, Trump has to know he’s in trouble.

Apparently, Dotard45 is going to spruik for Moore in Mobile & Pensacola. Lucky you.

Trump plans to campaign for Moore in the ‘airwaves’ of Alabama

22 Bryan { 12.01.17 at 7:17 pm }

I hope that Pensacola NAS can handle a 747, because if it can’t they will land at Eglin and make life miserable for people who want to get holiday stuff done. I don’t quite understand why he doesn’t go to Alabama and annoy those people. Pensacola and Mobile are the same media market. The local TV stations are listed as Pensacola or Mobile based on the location of their business offices. Their transmitters are lined up midway between the two cities.
