After the assassination of the Archduke, one of the characters has just told the protagonist: “This is our chance; we can drive the Serbs out… WAR! We’ll be in Paris within a month.” So much like the current WH occupants.

There is a story about little Donnie socking his music teacher when he was 7, or maybe it was 4. Then his parents shipped him off to military school, I suppose because he was a holy terror in whatever academy they had sent him to. He has spent his entire life free from consequences for his personal actions (aside from rumored punishments from Fred Trump). He laughs off lawsuits, because it’s only money. His second-place finish in the popular vote and the appellate court ruling against his immigrant ban may be the first times little Donnie has ever been told “no” emphatically, but he’s still not experienced any personal misfortunes. When he does, his reaction will be epic.

…You also shouldn’t be doing a classified brief in front of another head of state/government, even if it’s an ally.
I was reading about the late, unlamented (especially by his wife) Klan leader Frank Ancona and happened to learn that someone nearby has the misfortune of having the same name.
Frank Ancona Honda Owner Gets Confused With Alleged KKK Leader
Honda Frank, whose business is in Oathe Kansas, has no relationship with KuKlux Frank. The coincidence first emerged at the time of the Kansas City Jewish Community Center shootings in 2014.
Earlier this month, another man connected to the KKK allegedly shot and killed three people outside of two Jewish facilities located in Johnson County, spurring customers to inquire whether or not Frank Ancona Honda’s owner is associated with the alleged KKK leader. Frank Ancona Honda and its family has no connection or relationship to the man in Park Hills, nor does the dealership and family share his reported opinions, beliefs or any type of violent or hateful behavior.
According to Michael Ancona, president of Frank Ancona Honda, “We are deeply saddened and outraged to learn about the online mix-up and express our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the victims affected by the tragedy at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and Village Shalom. We barely knew of his existence until the shocking events. Over the past week, we have received phone calls and inquiries asking whether or not there is any association between my father or the dealership and this individual. None of us are associated, affiliated or related to this man. We weren’t even that familiar with him until the shocking events occurred in Johnson County which triggered more search results. The entire issue is horrible and extremely upsetting to our family.”
Frank Ancona Honda volunteers and participates in fundraising initiatives for many local charities including Phoenix Family, TLC, Coats For Kids and Catholic Charities. The dealership, its leadership and family have never supported or would ever support any type of extremist or hate group.
I’m sure Charles “I am not the Furby” can empathize.

Not to mention holding an official state visit at a public facility, rather than a government facility. If only there were a nice, comfortable, secure house in Washington to welcome foreign dignitaries.
For months, we were told that Hillary couldn’t be trusted with national security because somebody could have possibly read her emails. We had everybody from “experts” to members of Congress declaring that a foreign gov’t could have hacked her server and we’d never know because they were such l33t hax0rs that there would be no visible traces.
It’s great to know that all that worry about national security that the Trump campaign was pushing has been followed now that they are in office./////

On the other hand NHK is trying very, very hard to send the message that Trump and Abe hit it off, so some unfortunate editorial staff are trying to walk a very narrow path of throwing shade on Trump and playing up the importance of Abe’s relationship with him.

I sort of imagine that’s something that all of our allies are finding themselves dealing with. It was normal in the past to poke fun at our president while still respecting the office and the relationship we had as allies. Now, we’ve got a dumbass in the White House who is a goldmine of joke material BUT also has a hair trigger that could wipe out decades of good diplomatic relations in a single afternoon. How do you convey to the public just how much of a joke/horror the man is without drawing his ire?

It’s a shame that NHK has been made into an official mouthpiece. They always had to bend over backwards to appear neutral, but under Abe there has been tremendous pressure on all of the press to not contradict officials.

This White House will be the most compromised in history, with a president tweeting daily from an insecure phone and insisting he “winter” in a publicly accessible country club that he just coincidentally owns. Meanwhile, we’ve got all those advisors and Cabinet officers with very clear ties to Russia. The Secret Service and the intel agencies must be having fits every hour about keeping the nation secure.
Quite seriously, someone could easily infiltrate the wait staff at Mar-a-Lago and listen in to conversations, or hijack phone signals and WiFi signals, or hack the security cameras. It’s a data breach waiting to happen.

Just watching their body language, I can guess that Abe and Trump did not hit it off at all. Abe was being a professional diplomat, while Trump was being a schoolboy reveling in his new-found famous friends. Trump simply has no class, no clue on how to act in “civilized” company, and it shows. Abe probably came away thinking he had just met with the world’s dumbest national leader, one that he could probably manipulate to benefit Japan’s national interests.

And the media, which was absolutely obsessed last year with the security around a single email server, is treating the security situation around the Trump admin as if its a minor concern. Remember when the New York Post claimed to have evidence that Hillary had a maid printing out emails for her? This was months after they spent weeks obsessing over whether or not the tech guy that Hillary had maintaining her server had the proper authorization to view any of the emails he might see while working on said server.

Right. Where are all the veteran WH reporters, with expert knowledge of how tight security measures have been in the past, writing pieces about how porous the Trump WH is? The NYT has done some great work about the inner turmoil among the staff, but that turmoil is much less serious than foreign agents obtaining classified intel.

I suspect Abe came away from his meeting with Trump with even greater evidence that the hardliners back home are right and that Japan is going to need to further militarize if it wishes to assert its independence from America.

Because the inner turmoil sells papers/clicks. The NYT is like much of the media anymore: A tabloid that masquerades as a serious newspaper. So this Jerry Springer-esque “Who’s at odds with who” business is more important to editors than the national security of this nation.

Greets and saluts from the resistance. Trump apparently decided that his North Korean missile briefing could occur in public with a bunch of people who lack classification hanging around, because of course.
You’ve got people using their phone flashlights to shine light on the documents while Abe reads on and Trump stares blankly at the pages wondering WTF.
Does anyone in Trump’s cabal of cronies know the first thing about operational security and that any/all of those phones could be compromised? Or that you treat all those phones as compromised unless they’ve been cleared? Or that people could be listening in who shouldn’t be privy to the information.
Apparently Conway thinks that she’s not in the loop, but all she had to do is sit at the table and she’d know as much as everyone else in the room.
The same right wing security hawks who were bitching about HRC emails are silent over Flynn, Russia, Trump, and the endless supply of conflicts of interests, ties to Russia, and actions by this cabal of cronies that inures benefits not to the US, but to Russia and Trump personally.
Congressional Republicans are enabling all of this because they think that their agenda gets implemented while Bannon/Trump are in the WH, but all this shows is that they have abrogated their oaths of office to protect and defend the constitution.
Heck, these fuckers care only about making sure that their agenda gets implemented, no matter how many millions of people are screwed. You’ve got idiots claiming that Trump’s Muslim ban is legal and constitutional all because of the general welfare clause and it protects and defends the nation, but that same provision (the General Welfare clause) also should be seen as enabling Obamacare and other safety net programs that provide for the General Welfare of all citizens. The GOP is craven enough to push this nonsense because they view this as a once-in-a century opportunity to roll back a century of progress, which they view as abhorrent since they view others having rights they take for granted as diminishing their own rights.

Well, if it were the Peter Sellers version of Casino Royale, maybe.
Has there ever, in all of world history, been a MAJOR power where the government was this fucked up? (not including the crazy Roman emperors)
It also doesn’t help that it’s been reported that members of the White House staff have resurrected the Bush-era practice of using GOP-run email servers for communications. The same servers that were hacked by the Russians even though Der Trumpenfuhrer has lied again and again that they were never breached.
The amount of brown-nosing by Sean Hannity here should be a firing offense, if he worked at a responsible media outlet.
Live feed of Oroville Dam:
They’re attempting to reinforce the emergency spillway with boulders, but the main spillway continues to see additional damage. They increased the flow rate in the main spillway so that they could do some repairs to the emergency spillway, which doesn’t have reinforcement. The authorities continue to maintain the dam is okay, but continue to work on evacuating communities downstream.
There’s also expected to be more rainfall in the region later this week, which means more inflow into the reservoir.

They’re attempting to reinforce the emergency spillway with boulders, but the main spillway continues to see additional damage. They increased the flow rate in the main spillway so that they could do some repairs to the emergency spillway, which doesn’t have reinforcement. The authorities continue to maintain the dam is okay, but continue to work on evacuating communities downstream.
There’s also expected to be more rainfall in the region later this week, which means more inflow into the reservoir.
It’s good to know our leader is hard at work addressing this matter…by totally ignoring it.

So I thought Trump was not too keen on the UN. Suddenly he needs someone to tell him how to handle his first international issue.
The United States, Japan and South Korea have requested urgent United Nations Security Council consultations on North Korea’s launch of a ballistic missile on Sunday.

Computers are such fickle things….
For over a year I’ve had problems with my Cox cable connection… often it works, but every now and then I get into a state where there are very many packet losses, and the average download speed drops so low that I can’t even run the Ookla online test successfully.
Happened this morning too… so I keep fiddling with my Mac settings, looking at logs (amazing to see how many strange errors pop up but are hidden from our sight by logs secreted away.)
Now, I’m not sure with what I’ve twiddled, but all of a sudden Ookla is reporting more than 30Mbs download average for me, which is unusual.
But I can never know if it was something I did or something that the Cox server just does randomly. I guess I’ll know over the next few hours as we see what happens.

There’s still a strong authoritarian streak there that champs at the bit every time a Democrat is in the White House because of Hoover’s well-ingrained belief that all liberal elements in America were in some way disloyal and anti-American. Given the choice between an utter loon who was singing all the right keys about letting the FBI go nuts with their LEO powers and a Democrat who was talking about the need for putting a leash on LEO in general, it’s not surprising they threw their lot in with the loon.

Yup. There was a dam collapse in Idaho in the 1970s where they were filling it for the first time and it began to leak. Workers tried to patch it best they could, but the thing began collapsing around them. The workers were rescued, but the equipment was lost.
In that case, it was a dam built on poor soil conditions, and the authorities/engineers decided to build it anyways.
Here, it looks like there were issues with the spillway a few years ago, and they did some repairs, but the area that was repaired now appears to be where the spillway damage occurred.

What we’re seeing now is IMAX level projection given all the Russian ties to the administration - both directly to Trump and to his henchmen like Flynn. The only questions are whether Flynn was acting on his own, or at the direction of Trump. The ones who are undermining national security are the GOP and Trump. The ones who are acting at the behest of the Russians aren’t Democrats but the GOP, who are enabling Trump’s nonsense all because they have an agenda to move.
It’s arguable that the FBI is likewise hobbled by the same issue - that they too are incapable of doing their job because they answer to an administration that plays fast and loose with reality, let alone facts.

Chilling article on Vox about the counter-jihadist movement and its influence in the White House. It features characters very familiar to Lizards such as Geller and Spencer.

I read that earlier today - even talked with a student about it. He concluded that this whole situation is an utter disaster that coule well lead to even bigger catastrophes.

A further note about the source on the “spy revolt against the WH.” It’s courtesy of The Observer, which is a Kushner paper. This may be his way of trying to rid the admin of Flynn and accumulate more power for himself, even though he took lacks any character, judgment, or knowledge of national security matters.
Everywhere you look, you’ve got craven incompetents, unknowledgeable people, and Trump is busy giving them all access based on what how it benefits him personally. Everything he does is still tied to how he has profited (and continues to profit).
The GOP continues to look the other way. They own all of this. Never let them go a moment without reminding them that they’ve enabled the Kremlin to take over the WH without even a shot fired.

We’ve often commented upon the similarities between the present administration and that of the Third Reich, but I’ve also found myself thinking it’s much like that of the USSR under Stalin, particularly towards the end when it was becoming obvious that The Boss was not long for the world and everybody was positioning themselves to either seize total power the moment he died or to just put as much distance between themselves and the ensuing conflagration.

I’d be willing to bet that in a real crisis, Trump will experience the same sort of paralysis that took over Josef Stalin during the first days of the 1941 German invasion.
Stalin literally didn’t know WTF to do; in a moment of supreme crisis, this can be deadly. Fortunately in Stalin’s case, the rest of the Politburo essentially told him to get his shit together.

Fourteen dams failed in 1986 in lower Michigan (including Rainbow Lake about ten miles south of my home) in one day due to heavy rains.
On September 10 and 11, 1986, a large storm passed
over Michigan’s central Lower Peninsula. Total 24 hour rainfalls ranged from 8 to 17 inches over the 60-mile wide area. The resulting runoff produced
stream flows ranging from 100 to 500-year return interval floods; inundated approximately 30,000 homes and 3,600 miles of roadways; caused failure of 4 primary roadway bridges, hundreds of secondary roadway bridges and culverts, and 14 dams; and threatened over 20 other dams, taking the lives of 6 people and causing roughly $500 million in damages (1986 dollars).Among those 14 dams that failed were the Barryton Dam, White Cloud Dam, Hart Lake Dam, Danaher Lake Dam, Hesperia Dam, Carson City Dam, Childsdale Dam, Cat Creek Dam, Bruce Norland Dam, Rainbow Lake Dam, and Luther Pond Dams. The Belding Dam was damaged during the September
flooding and failed as a result of that damage in January of 1987. The majority of these dams failed due to overtopping of earthen embankments or piping adjacent to the spillway structures

Now I’m beginning to wonder if such an attack wouldn’t just seal the fate of his administration. That his first reaction to begin attacking his opponents rather than deal with the actual crisis, alongside the revelations that would pour out like puss from an infected wound, wouldn’t just reveal how much of a joke the American people elected not two months ago.

If this weren’t Japan I would think The Onion. Valentines Day is a big deal. It’s the day when women are expected to give chocolate and/or other gifts both to SOs and to collateral men (fellow office workers, for example). Men are supposed to reciprocate in March on White Day.
FEB 12, 2017
As Japan prepares to celebrate Valentine’s Day, a cranky group of Marxist protesters has called for an end to public displays of love, claiming it hurts their feelings.
Members of Kakuhido, or the Revolutionary Alliance of Men that Women find Unattractive, unfurled a giant “Smash Valentine’s Day” banner as the party-poopers set off to try and overthrow the annual celebration of romance.
The grumpy comrades elicited curious looks from passers-by in the trendy Shibuya district where they rallied against commercialism and chanted other buzz-kill slogans such as “Public smooching is terrorism!”
“Our aim is to crush this love capitalism,” the group’s public relations chief, Takayuki Akimoto, said.
“People like us who don’t seek value in love are being oppressed by society,” he added. “It’s a conspiracy by people who think unattractive guys are inferior, or losers — like cuddling in public, it makes us feel bad. It’s unforgivable.”
Previously, the killjoy group has also protested against “housewives who control Japan’s future” as their hapless husbands work all hours at the office.
Valentine’s Day in Japan is a huge money-spinner for the confectionery business as women are traditionally expected to buy chocolates for the men in their lives — from lovers to work colleagues.
Men reciprocate a month later on White Day, a Japanese marketing brainwave dreamed up by confectioners in the 1980s to keep the cash tills ringing.
“The tradition of giving chocolates means you’re always competing,” said Akimoto, 33, blasting what his group calls the “passion-based capitalism” of Valentine’s Day.
“You’re judged by how many sweets you get. It’s a business strategy by the chocolate capitalists, it’s ridiculous.”
Valentine’s Day originated as an ancient Christian and Roman tradition and Akimoto fumed: “Religious overtones have been twisted and turned into a vehicle to make money.”
According to a recent survey, Japan is experiencing a loss of mojo with couples apparently too stressed or busy to have sex, frustrating government efforts to raise the birthrate as policymakers struggle to cope with a shrinking population.
Akimoto claims the group’s message has finally started to hit home after 10 years of protests.
“Recently you hear of more people spending Christmas alone or women growing tired of Valentine’s Day,” he said. “We believe that through our fight, we’ve helped contribute to that social shift.”
Kakuhido was founded in 2006 by Katsuhiro Furusawa, who began reading the communist manifesto after being dumped by his girlfriend and came to the conclusion that being unpopular with the opposite sex was a class issue, fueling his anti-Valentine message.
Akimoto offered some advice for would-be disciples of the spoil-sport group, which also protests White Day and Christmas.
“We’re saying you don’t have to enjoy Christmas or Valentine’s Day,” he said joylessly, adding that Kakuhido is also taking aim at Halloween.
“Just spend the day doing normal things. Our enemy is formidable, but we are ready for a long, drawn-out war.”

The Education Department tweets this weekend were likewise full of grammar/spelling errors.
First, they got W.E.B. Du Bois’ name wrong (tweeting it as DeBois).
Then they apologized by tweeting wrong spelling/tense.
Education requires precise knowledge, and if you don’t get the basics right, everything else falls apart too (hey, I’m sensing a theme here).

We’ve often commented upon the similarities between the present administration and that of the Third Reich, but I’ve also found myself thinking it’s much like that of the USSR under Stalin, particularly towards the end when it was becoming obvious that The Boss was not long for the world and everybody was positioning themselves to either seize total power the moment he died or to just put as much distance between themselves and the ensuing conflagration.
This is what I’ve been pointing out all along!

I would have killed to be in that position at age 30, but I knew back then that someone in that position needed a lot more experience than someone my age - they simply don’t have all the experience (life) or education to know what they’re talking about.

Rich, entitled, and who get to play with the family’s money (and who have likewise been bailed out by dad).

Miller’s the kind of kid that pundits sigh wistfully about and talk up how he’s a “bright future” because he’s a Republican, but if he were a Democrat they’d be talking about how he’s too young to be trusted with a box of matches let alone a political career.
How White House advisor Stephen Miller went from pestering Hispanic students to designing Trump’s immigration policy https://t.co/ZGLnFnTNe8
— Dr. Matt (@DrMatthew) February 13, 2017
In liberal Santa Monica, students in the city’s largest high school tended to hold progressive ideas, to be environmentally conscious and open minded.
But Miller went the other way. He quickly stood out as a contentious and provocative student whose conservative and ultra-nationalist politics put him continuously at odds with teachers, administrators and students.
Univision Noticias spoke with several classmates who said Miller had few friends, none of them non-white. They said he used to make fun of the children of Latino and Asian immigrants who did not speak English well.
Early on, Miller began to write opinion columns in conservative blogs, the local press and the high school’s own newspaper, The Samohi. He also contributed at times to the national radio show of Larry Elder, a conservative African American, and once invited him to speak at the school.
Displaying his hostility toward minorities, Miller complained to school administrators about announcements in Spanish and festivals that celebrated diversity.
In his third year at the school, the 16-year-old Miller wrote a letter to The Lookout, a local publication, about his negative impression of Hispanic students and the use of Spanish in the United States.
“When I entered Santa Monica High School in ninth grade, I noticed a number of students lacked basic English skills. There are usually very few, if any, Hispanic students in my honors classes, despite the large number of Hispanic students that attend our school,” Miller wrote.
“Even so, pursuant to district policy, all announcements are written in both Spanish and English. By providing a crutch now, we are preventing Spanish speakers from standing on their own,” he added. “As politically correct as this may be, it demeans the immigrant population as incompetent, and makes a mockery of the American ideal of personal accomplishment.”

Guess what? The Equal Rights Amendment did not pass. It won the two-thirds vote from the House of Representatives in October 1971. In March of 1972 it was approved by the Senate and sent to the states for ratification. It failed to achieve ratification by 38, or three-quarters, of the states. It was not brought to a vote again.Because of that rejection, sexual equality, with the exception of when it pertains to the right to vote, is not protected by the Constitution. However, in the late 20th century the federal government and all states have passed legislation protecting women’s rights. These protections are not amendments to the Constitution. They, too, can be wiped away with the swipe of a pen.

Haven’t seen an identification—did read a couple of stories that mentioned Melania and Mrs. Abe speaking through a translator, but not sure if that’s him—and not sure why he’d be sitting next to Kraft. And, if it’s the same guy who’s in the Super Bowl party pics, that wouldn’t make sense.

At this point, I imagine the GOP leadership could come out and say aloud “Trump can break the law however he likes, because he’s a Republican and that’s all that matters” and the public would still say “Hey, at least they’re honest.”

Right now, if Trump were to show up on the Senate floor dressed like Julius Caesar and playing showtunes on the kazoo, Susan Collins might have second thoughts about handing the EPA over to Scott Pruitt, but that would be the extent of the Republican resistance…the Republicans declared party-over-country a long time ago.

Apparently Trump’s various golf clubs allow reciprocity, so if you’re at his location in Bedminster and want to go down to Florida, it’s possible that you could get in without any additional costs (and therefore the fee is not the same as the supposedly jacked up $200,000 going rate).
I don’t know what the guest policy is either, but most golf courses allow members to bring in guests in accordance with the rules.

Gun industry seeks to ease restrictions on silencers https://t.co/37R5TQFLC3
— Dr. Matt (@DrMatthew) February 13, 2017
Now, emboldened by the election of Donald Trump as president, the industry has renewed a push in Congress to ease those restrictions, arguing that it’ll help preserve the hearing of gun users.
“We look at this as a Second Amendment issue. We look at it as a health issue,” said Erich Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America. “The decibel level of a fired gun, even the lowly .22-caliber, can cause hearing damage.”
Since the 1930s silencers have been regulated under the National Firearms Act, facing the same paperwork, $200 tax and background checks required to buy a machine gun.
[…]
U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan, a Republican from South Carolina, is a sponsor of the “Hearing Protection Act,” the latest attempt to pass such legislation. It’s previously been met with resistance, especially under President Barack Obama and among Democratic lawmakers who view it as a gun-promotion issue.
It doesn’t hurt now that Trump’s son Donald met with SilencerCo and was videoed trying out their products.
“I’m cautiously optimistic,” Duncan said. “Don Junior, who is an avid hunter himself, has come out in favor of this particular legislation. And so he gets it. That gives us a little bit of juice within the White House and the executive branch. And hopefully we can tap that energy and have it transfer over to the legislative branch.”

I was reading a book by Michael Chabon, The Adventures of Cavalier and Clay, set in the 1930’s, about two Jewish kids (one a refugee from the Prague ghetto) who try to break into the booming comics industry: their specialty is anti-Hitler comics.
Their big hero is “The Escapist”, whose power is the ability to break out of any enclosure.
You can see the salesmen now. “Hey, would you like a silencer for that a AR-15? After all, we wouldn’t want you to suffer hearing damage when you’re ‘hunting.’ And if you’ve got any other guns that don’t have silencers, we’ve got a sale on conversion kits. And if you don’t feel safe doing the work yourself, our gunsmith is available 7 days a week.”

Is the Trump administration getting into industrial espionage as well: NASA scientist detained at US border until he unlocked his phone.
A US-born NASA scientist says he was detained by US border police, until he agreed to unlock his phone and let the agent copy or examine the phone’s contents. The phone was NASA property, but the US Customs and Border Protection—another wing of the federal US government—seemingly didn’t care.
…
While the CBP does have authority to search devices, you aren’t obligated to unlock your device. The problem is, if you don’t unlock your device, you could be detained for a longer period of time. “I didn’t really want to explore all those consequences,” Bikkannavar said. He handed over the device and its PIN, and then the officer took the device away for 30 minutes.
Bikkannavar said he doesn’t know what happened during those 30 minutes, though he told The Verge that “the cybersecurity team at JPL was not happy about the breach.”

It already has I think. I have read that most encounters with Iranians are professional. Cold, but disciplined. Of course the occasional provocation should be taken seriously, and understood for the baiting and posturing it really is. Coped with accordingly.
So what other bits of the National Firearms Act will the NRA-owned GOP decide must be done away with in the name of the gun lobby’s bottom line? Short-barreled rifles and shotguns decriminalized as better for “home defense”? Decriminalizing machine guns because hunters have an easier time if their AR-15 has burst-fire?

I’m not surprised. I’ve said before that if I was Poland, I’d be looking at starting a nuclear weapons program, because NATO is a dead letter as long as Trump is President.
To the suggestion that they just pass a bill requiring hearing protection, you know how the wingnuts would respond. “That’s pussy nanny-statism!

It doesn’t provide the host with any benefits, it is detrimental to the host’s health, and it can kill the host if they’re not careful. You’re doing damage to your own damned position by using such terminology.
re: #394 A wild WITHAK appeared!
Nope, but that’s one of the reasons Charles went so hard against Hoft and other right wing liars - their lies change public opinion and become accepted as fact (even though they’re still lies).
That this fucker gets to sit among actual journalists and ask questions is unconscionable.

I may be out of the loop on this, but have we ever figured out exactly what the white-supremacist “OK” hand gesture is supposed to symbolize?
I believe a W for White (three fingers) and the loop is a P for Power.

W is also for “Wotan” (old Germanic variant of “Odin”) or for the German Widerstand (reisistance)

Completely off topic. I didn’t watch the Grammys, usually just pick up the highlights the next day. Or not. So I’m not really plugged in to much pop music, though a few do catch my ear. Ed Sheeran has had a few good numbers. So if you saw his performance last night, that looper he was using is a creation him and his tech guy came up with. I’m impressed. Trying to configure a looper live can be tricky to say the least. He used a Boss Loop Station before. Now this. Not only creating music, but the effects too. Earworm for me right now. I actually heard this for the first time yesterday morning on a 3 hour drive in the rain, I had YouTube playing through my iphone and hit “Down” by Marian Hill, (because that damn commercial) and the mix had this number, “Shape of You” and then I wake up today and see his performance and see that pedal and dig a little and…..

For those that care about such things, I crossed the 2k threshold in Twitter followers. Nice round number. Woo. And I’m averaging more than 110,000 tweet impressions a day.
That’s far greater than the number of people who read my blog regularly or commented there.

President Donald Trump cancels planned visit to Northeast Ohio https://t.co/GZnq3WBhPb
— Sabrina Eaton (@sabrinaeaton) February 13, 2017
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will not visit Northeast Ohio this week, Ohio members of Congress have been told.
The White House put out an advisory last week last that indicated Trump would visit Vienna, Ohio on Thursday to sign a bill and deliver a speech. The White House has not indicated why the planned visit was scrapped.
The Vindicator of Youngstown had reported Saturday that Trump would visit Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Trumbull County to sign a bill that reversed an Obama Administration “Stream Protection Rule” intended to keep coal mines from dumping waste into streams.
The newspaper - and other media outlets - now report that the 910th Airlift Wing at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station attached to the airport said the trip is off.
