Excerpts from the Guardian report:
FBI agents were looking for secret documents about nuclear weapons among other classified material when they searched Donald Trump’s home on Monday, it has been reported.

@Mark- Absolutely. I just don't understand why there isn't a howling chorus asking those very questions. It's almost as if the Democrats are afraid to meet the bastards head-on.
With respect to sweet corn, the prices are indeed much higher than in previous years. The market we use for meat and a few other products is noted for good quality but very high prices: sweet corn the other day was $1.29 PER EAR!!!
For contrast, th…
And here that's confirmed, by a report in The Guardian:
After Trump’s deposition concluded, one of Trump’s lawyers, Ronald Fischetti, confirmed that the former president had answered just one question – to state his name – and offered a statement ca…
It was noted long ago that his lawyers insisted (not recommended, INSISTED) that he take the fifth because they knew that he is incapable of consistently telling the truth, and they knew that he would trap himself with his lies.
Yeah, not great, but in the big picture, not that big a deal. There will be uses for natural gas for quite a while, including use as feedstock for various chemical purposes. It's called "compromise".

Interesting that Wells Fargo had to resort to this particular channel to raise funds. Perhaps they are still hurting from their long series of misdeeds, he said hopefully.
Pathetic it is, for sure. But there is absolutely no lower limit to the depths that Trumpists will go in order to take over this country, by force if necessary, as has been amply documented. If this sort of thing is of any help in preventing that, t…
@Derf- If I remember that situation correctly it wasn't a municipal water supply system, but a local well. If gas infiltrated the well forming small pockets, and was then pumped into the pressure holding tank, I think that it could result in that si…
Hi Ben- Yes, I'm going to hold on to ASML. One thing, though- they have such a full order book that they won't be able to increase production significantly for a number of years, barring some major change in the production situation. And as far as p…
@hank- Yes, I did appreciate that. I just meant that the difference in opinion is insignificant in the overall order of things. I also appreciate that some folks find the information that I share to be sometimes interesting or useful... that's nice …
I'm with @msf on this one: I want my news to be "fair, balanced and accurate" as I believe the PBS Newshour claims. I really don't appreciate it when a news source that I depend on slants the picture. I expect that from certain news operations on th…
