CNN NYC offices evacuated after a suspicious package found.

Certainly could be a far right crazy doing this, but the timing has me suspicious.

It could be anybody.

 

[Mike S]

a package mailed to the White House has been intercepted as well.

I find this line from a CNBC.com article interesting......

It is not clear if the incidents are related.

Ok.

Ok.

Now they are saying no package at the WH.

My cynical side thinks the left may be sending packages to themselves to undo the damages from their previous behavior. Not saying it is so just I know how desperate the dems are to win the mid terms.

Makes sense, there's no better way to make up for past behaviors and to get moderates to vote Dem & fire up the base than numerous rudamentary bombs. Certainly seems like something they'd do.

 

[WesL]

Either way, I'm sure it is a busy day over at FBI's Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center over at Redstone Arsenal.

Looks like one was sent to Maxxine Waters as well

Dems will stop at nothing, and I do mean nothing if it is politically advantageous. Illinois Congresswoman Jean Shaheen's husband who is a dem operative hired people to pretend to be Nazis at Trump rally's. Hillary recently said civility could not return to our politics untol dems win. This is a play right out of their playbook. The dems are taking a beating over their treatment of Kavanaugh and Republican pols.

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi!

 

[Kory]

This is rich.

any one from the lock her up crowd care to opine?

WASHINGTON — When President Trump calls old friends on one of his iPhones to gossip, gripe or solicit their latest take on how he is doing, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese spies are often listening — and putting to use invaluable insights into how to best work the president and affect administration policy, current and former American officials said.

Mr. Trump’s aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls are not secure, and they have told him that Russian spies are routinely eavesdropping on the calls, as well. But aides say the voluble president, who has been pressured into using his secure White House landline more often these days, has still refused to give up his iPhones. White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from discussing classified information when he is on them.

He’s an idiot. Lock him up!

The rest of his admin is stupid too:

 

[Matt]

Looks to me like the dems have phoned in a bomb threat to get out of a midterm exam! We shall see.

Fake News!

 

[Matt]

The police have a suspect !

 

[Kory]

Senate Judiciary Committee recommends prosecution for Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick to the DOJ.

Big news.

That is big news. It could be just as ugly for Kavanaugh ad for swetnick, depending on who was lying.

This could also end avenatti’s run for President very early.

Hopefully we will truly find out who is lying.

There is no doubt who was lying and it was not Kavanaugh!

Looks like Avenatti is putting up a bold front from this tweet...

"Maybe if Grassley was actually a lawyer that knew something about the law, he would realize what he has done. He just opened up Pandora’s box as it relates to Justice Kavanaugh’s conduct. It is Christmas in October!"
