It ain't over 'til it's over…
The 2008 Cardinals are young, hungry, strong, tough and resilient. Their ability to improvise, overcome, adapt and bounce back from adversity has been tested over and over. It was tested again this week.
The little two-game series against the Brewers was probably the BIGGEST series the Cardinals have played this year. The Brewers are the team to beat for a team trying to make a playoff run. We could not afford to lose ground.
The first game was a humiliating 12-0 loss. Just one of those nights where everything the Brewers did worked. Everything the Cardinals did flopped. Wellemeyer kept us in it, but got no run support. Then the Brewers had a run against the Cardinals bullpen, and there was no catching up.
The second game started much the same. Good starting pitching by Wainwright. The Brewers able to eek in three runs. The Cardinals leaving runners in scoring position. In the 6th, Ryan Ludwick finally broke 14 2/3 innings of scorelessness against the Brewers with a solo home run. But, when the Cardinals had the bases loaded in the 7th and couldn't come up with a run, the game seemed lost. Then the tide turned.
The Brewer reliever, Villanueva, thought he'd really done something we he got out of that bases loaded inning. He made the mistake of gesturing toward the Cardinals dugout. Pujols took exception to the lack of respect. Villanueva then made the mistake of saying something foul in Spanish to Pujols. The umpires put out the flames, but the fire still smoldered.
The fire translated into an amazing 8th:
· Franklin's strong pitching allowed no runs.
· Pujols came up to bat and hit a lead-off double.
· Ludwick copied with an RBI double.
· After a three K night, Glaus finally got a piece of one for an RBI single.
· Molina hit behind the runner to sacrifice himself and advance the runner.
· Glaus beat the throw to home on Aaron Miles' pinch hit grounder. (Why isn't Miles playing everyday?)
· Looper came in the game to put down a sac bunt.
· Lopez scored Miles on a single.
The Cardinals lead 5-3. Would it be enough?
It might have been an even more amazing 9th:
Rookie, Chris Perez came in to shut the door. The anticipation and expectation hung in the air as heavy as would in any game 7 of the World Series.
Chris Perez slammed the door hard, fanning 3 of the 4 batters he's faced. The Cardinals fans went home happy.
Tonight the Cardinals played the kind of game that winners play. They kept themselves in the game, took advantage when the chance presented itself, and finally went for and got the kill.
Now, on to Houston! I'm looking forward to this series because will be in the stands watching Saturday and Sunday's games live! I'm excited to check out Minute Maid Park, and watch the Cardinals take the Astros.

Must Hate the Cubs
Must hate the Cubs…must hate the Cubs. Repeat with me…must hate the Cubs.
As soon as I fell in love with Cardinals, it was amazing how quickly the Cub hating began. It's like they are oxygen and carbon dioxide. You breathe in the Cardinals and exhale the Cubs. In with the good air. Out with the bad.
The loathing didn't begin in earnest until I attended a Cubs-Cardinals game in St. Louis last year. The Cubs fans that had made the trip to Busch pretty much sealed it for me. There were a number of smaller things, but my biggest objection was the booing. Maybe I'm alone on this, but when you are on the road with your team, visiting another team's park, I believe it is rude to boo the home team. When you are at home, you can boo whoever you want, but on the road you should limit yourself to simply cheering (or booing for) your own team.
Seriously, do you go to a party at someone's house and boo the host even if the party sucks? No, you don't because your momma raised you better than that.
Enough on ballpark etiquette, lets play ball!
8/8/08 Cardinals 2, Cubs 3
This was the kind of game good rivalries are made of: tight score, strong pitching, a few long balls, aggressive base-running and extra innings.
The Cardinals gave their old buddy Jim Edmonds the cold shoulder in July, not allowing him a hit in three games. Braden Looper struck him out twice. When he finally got on with a walk, Yadier Molina tagged him out soundly at home. In this game, Edmonds repaid the chilly hospitality by lifting two home runs off Looper and robbing Molina of a base hit to center.
Rookie Joe Mather answered the former Cardinal veteran with a home run ball of his own. He has been making a real case for himself as a big leaguer.
The Cardinals did some very aggressive base running, which I like to see even though it didn't really pay off. In the 5th, Izturis stretched a double into three bases on a bad throw, but was unable to score on the suicide squeeze play. In the 6th, Schumaker hoofed it to third on a Mather single, which put him in position to score a run on Kennedy's force out, tying the game. Later in the inning, Mather tried to tag up and score on a Glaus fly ball, but was put out with a perfect throw from Soriano. In the 9th, after getting on with a walk, Izturis was able to steal 2nd and 3rd, but was left there when Ankiel popped up. Pujols got caught stealing in the 10th to end the inning. So many chances…so few runs to show for it.
Other than the long balls, Looper pitched a beautiful game. McClellan gave up only 1 hit in the 8th and struck out two. Perez came in the 9th, gave up 1 hit and struck out the lead off batter. (But, remember, he's NOT "The Closer"). Unfortunately, Franklin did not get one out in the 10th, giving up two walks, two hits and the winning run.
8/9/08 Cardinals 12, Cubs 3
Game 2 of the series was a home run derby, which I sure didn't expect with Zambrano on the mound. Cubs got their two home runs and not much else. Edmonds followed up his two home run day by going 0 for 4, striking out three times. Pujols and Shumaker got solo shots. But, nobody can snap a slump like Troy Glaus.
He came into the game 0 for 29 against the Cubs this year. If I was the manager, I probably would have given him the day off. I would have been wrong. He left the game 3 for 34. Glaus hit two back-to-back home runs, for 5 RBI's and a 9th inning single.
As exciting as the home runs were, I was more excited to see the string of hits the Cardinals put together in the 9th. I can't remember seeing any team this year with more people hitting above .300 than the Cardinals. Yet, it seems like we've had trouble stringing those hits together in a way that produces runs. The 9th went down like this:
Schumaker: F-7
Izturis: 1B
Pujols: 1B (Izturis to 3rd)
Ludwick: Sac Fly (Izturis scores)
Ankiel: PH-1B (Pineiro pinch runs)
Glaus: 1B (Bases loaded)
Molina: 1B (Pujols and Pineiro score. 2 more 2-out RBI's for Molina)
Mather: F-8
Total Result: 3 runs on 5 hits
Hats off to Todd Wellemeyer. In his last two starts, he's finally seemed back to form after his injury. He gave up two long balls and not much else. Russ Springer did some fine pitching as well, giving up 1 hit and then proceeding to strike out 4 Cubs in a row. Thompson finished off the job in the 9th.
The Cubs don't lose many games at home, but it's not everyday they play the best road team. Everything came together for the Cardinals like the perfect storm of hitting, pitching and defense.
8/10/08 Cardinals 2, Cubs 6
What started out as a nice tight pitching battle, turned into a heart-breaker in 6th. Chris Carpenter was efficiently putting away batters, giving up 2 runs, only one of them earned, when he left the game with a strained triceps.
After that, the Cardinals fell apart for the rest of the inning. An error was made on a double play ball that would have ended the inning. Instead, the inning continued and the runs tallied in surmountable lead. The Cardinals finally got it together, but the damage had been done.
What about Carp? It's been such a shot in the arm having him back. We've been waiting for it FOREVER. I was just getting used to seeing him in the line-up again.It seems like the Cardinals can't catch a break.
I want to say, "Maybe, it's not that serious." But, I'm reminded of the scene in Apollo 13 when they are working to overcome all these obstacles: the CO2 problem, the trajectory correction, how to power up the command module, etc. Then, this guy says there is a typhoon warning near the landing site. He says, "Maybe, they'll miss it." Deke Slayton replies, "Only if their luck changes."
The Cards could use some new lucky cards. Maybe, they'll get them this time.

Chopping Down the Braves
I run into a lot of Braves fans down here in Oklahoma. Much of that is owed to fact that the Braves used to be on cable TV all the time. My grandpa watched them every night while listening to whatever other game he could get on the radio. I was looking forward to seeing the great Chipper Jones, although we were probably better off with him on the DL. I hadn't heard the good ol' "tomahawk chop" in years. I still think it's one of the best battle cries ever.
With Chipper on the DL, the All-Star catcher McCann's head still spinning from a collision on Sunday, big hitter Teixeira traded to the Angels after the first game and the long awaited return of Cardinal ace, Chris Carpenter, this was a series with a lot of potential.
7/28/08 Cardinals 12, Braves 3
There's nothing like winning the hard fought close game. Unless of course you're coming off a string of hard fought close games coupled with some disappointing loses. Then, a blow out is a welcome relief for both the players and the fans.
Yadier Molina and Joe Mather teamed up for a single and a homer to get 2 runs in the second. The rookie, Joe Mather, had a big league night where he was one-oh-so-elusive-triple short of the cycle.
In the third, Troy Glaus knocked in Skip Schumaker who had walked (always bad news to walk the lead off guy). Then with Pujols on with a walk and Glaus on with a force out, Molina hit an in-the-park 3-run homer. OK, fine. It was technically a 2 RBI double, with Molina scoring on a throwing error, but the effect was the same and it was just as exciting. All those runs were two out RBIs. Very clutch.
It was great to see Izturis reach on a walk, 1B and 2B, picking up an RBI. Pujols picked up 3 RBIs. Miles got on and scored twice. Ludwick went 3 for 5 with an RBI. Wveryone was having a good night.
Looper put in one of the best starts we've seen in a while. Seven innings, 2 runs. With no walks and only 3 strikeouts, he had help from a solid Cardinals defense. Ron Villone got two outs, got in trouble, gave up a run, but was relieved by Russ Springer who with the help of centerfielder Skip Schumaker, pitched a perfect 1/3 of an inning. Flores faced three batters in the ninth giving up a hit, but getting his third batter to ground into a good old 6-4-3.
7/29/08 Cardinals 8, Braves 3
There's nothing like winning the hard fought close game. Well, it was a hard fought close game until the Cardinals put up 5 runs of insurance in the ninth.
It was a game with a little bit of everything. Good pitching. Good hitting. Good plays. Bad plays (2 errors a piece). For Wellemeyer's second time out he's proved that if you just hang with him and have a little faith, he'll finish stronger than he started and keep his team in the game.
Favorite play of the game: With Brave runners at 1st and 3rd, Wellemeyer throws a K for out number two. Yadier Molina fakes a throw to 2nd and gets the runner at 3rd to bite. Then, he throws to 3rd and the Cardinals get Kotsay in the run down. It was a HUGE play to end the inning in a 2-2 game with two runners on.
Second favorite play of the game: Albert Pujols hits a big lead off double at the top of the 8th. Then he steals third base and scores when the Braves catcher's throw went to left field. In the 6th, Pujols led off with a solo home run. Pujols is a great player, but geez does he have to do it all himself?
Both of those plays are the epitome of why I think having a great defensive catcher is so important. We are so fortunate to have Yadier Molina, and Jason LaRue for that matter.
Just like old times. Carpenter on the mound. A Cardinal win. Life is good.
Since April, 2007, most conversations about the Cardinals that go beyond the depth of "how 'bout them Cards' have included phrases like, "when Carpenter comes back" or "if we could just get Carpenter back" or "have you heard how Carpenter's doing?". To say his return was much anticipated would be an understatement.
Everyone in Cardinal's country from the front office to the coaches to the players to the fans to Carpenter himself was filled with excitement and anticipation as he took the mound. We all wanted him to succeed so badly because he's worked so hard to get there, and we need his ace arm and his leadership.
There were no disappointments. Other than maybe Carpenter's that he wasn't allowed to pitch longer, but he knows realistically that he shouldn't push it. It was a fine outing, giving up only 1 run, getting out of tight innings and the most important thing: giving the Cardinals a good chance to win. Is Carpenter the best he can be? No. But, he's still one of the best out there, and he'll be even better next time.
Carpenter seemed to be fuel for the fire that has been building in the Cardinals. Everyone seemed to up their game last night. Great hitting, great defensive plays and a bullpen that delivered. And, now we're looking forward to seeing him again in just a few days against the Dodgers.
Two nights ago, I loved the lineup with Mather behind Molina. I was excited to see it again tonight. Often, Molina often gets on base without a power hitter behind him to knock him in. On Monday, Molina and Mather tag-teamed with a Molina single and a Mather home run. They did it again tonight. If a LaRussa line up basically has two leadoff hitters, it seems like it should have two cleanup hitters, too.
Trade deadline day. I wonder if Griffey will get a world series shot with the White Sox. I wonder if California is big enough for Manny's ego. I wonder how many catchers the Yankees need. But, I know I was happy to see the trade deadline come and go without the Cardinals making a major league move. In my humble opinion, I believe with everyone healthy, we have all we need to make an October run, although it may not have looked like it tonight.
The last three games were those magical nights when everything comes together: hitting, starter pitching and relief pitching. Tonight was one of those nights that it magically comes together for the other team.
Yes, we gave up way too many runs, but with Schumaker, Ankiel, Glaus and Molina not in the starting lineup? Well, that's a lot of bat left on the bench. Even so, the Cardinals got the four runs that would have won any other game in this series.
Cesar Izturis deserves a big hand. He did a great job of holding down the lead off spot tonight going 3 for 6. It's so great to see him getting hot.

Sweeping the Padres
I admit that I whined more than just a little bit about the proliferation of Cubs on the All-Star team. In particular, I could make cases why Yadier Molina, Rick Ankiel and Kyle Lohse were as deserving if not more deserving of the All-Star nod than some of the Cubs that got to make the trip.
I had almost gotten over it when the American League proceeded to steal 6 out of 7 bases. I just could help but know if there had been a Molina behind the plate (any NL Molina–Yadier or Bengie), that the AL would not be so bold or successful. It was embarrassing.
I consoled myself thinking, "Fine, you bunch of Cubs all go party in NYC and wear yourselves out. We'll stay home, rest and be ready for the second half. Enjoy your All-Star honors. We're going to be ready to go all the way."
So, far…the second half could not have started off any better. The possibly hung-over Cubs got beat up by the Astros, and the fresh Cardinals swept the Padres.
7/17/08 – Cardinals 4, Padres 3
This was the game of the long ball. Four solo home runs and Lohse's magical pitching got the job done. Glaus got 2 dingers in a row. Ankiel went back-to-back with Glaus. Then rookie, Joe Mather, added the final run, which at the time was gravy, but ended up being the game winner.
7/18/08 – Cardinals 11, Padres 7
Tonight the Cards put together runs the old fashioned way. Sure, Ankiel and Ludwig both homered, but most of the runs were scored by stringing together singles and doubles. The 8th inning was huge with Yadier Molina hitting a 2 RBI single to put them over the top. Molina gets a lot of hits without a lot of glory. I loved seeing him get the big hit that makes you the KTRS Star of the Game
A rough start with a happy ending. After pitching two innings and giving up 5 runs, it looked like Wellemeyer had dug a hole that the Cardinals would have a hard time crawling out of. The bullpen had put in more than their fair share of innings the night before and with the Brewers coming to town, they couldn't afford to do it again. So, Wellemeyer went back to the mound, found his grove and didn't give up another run. It was one more example of a Cardinal just gutting it out and finding success.
His effort was rewarded when Pujols bailed him out. It seemed like it had been a while since Albert Pujols had a big day. Today was a very big day for Pujols. On a single and a double, he picked up 4 of the 6 RBI's of the day. Of course, to do that you got to have the batters ahead of you get on, and they did that. Not to leave them out, (we did need 6 after all) Schumaker and Ankiel picked up the other RBIs.
Another hard fought battle. I was driving to the Memphis Redbirds game, listening to the Cardinals game on the radio. Tied 5-5 in the 9th, 1 out, with Pujols at third on a throwing error. The Padres inentionally walk pinch hitter, Molina and Schumaker to load the bases. When Miles stepped up to the plate, I knew the game was won. He would get something out of the infield to score: a sac fly, a flare, a blooper, just something. However, I was not thinking Grand Slam, but that's what he got
If there's anything I love almost as much as good catching (and I love my catching), it's a utility player, and Aaron Miles is a good one. He impresses me all the time with his glove, his switch-hitting bat, his speed and his versatility. He says he's never had a walk-off anything. Seeing him get that big walk-off Grand Slam was just icing on a great series against the Padres. Hopefully, the momentum will carry us into the series with the Brewers.

The Second Battle of Copenhagen (or the Bombardment of Copenhagen) (16 August – 5 September 1807) was a British bombardment of the Danish capital, Copenhagen in order to capture or destroy the Dano-Norwegian fleet, during the Napoleonic Wars. The incident led to the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War of 1807, which ended with the Treaty of Örebro in 1812.

Britain's first response to Napoleon's Continental system was to launch a major naval attack on the weakest link in Napoleon's coalition, Denmark. Although ostensibly neutral, Denmark was under heavy French and Russian pressure to pledge its fleet to Napoleon. In September 1807, the Royal Navy bombarded Copenhagen, seizing the Danish fleet, and assured use of the sea lanes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea for the British merchant fleet. A consequence of the attack was that Denmark did join the war on the side of France, but without a fleet it had little to offer. [2]
The attack gave rise to the term to Copenhagenize.
Despite the defeat and loss of many ships in the first Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, Denmark-Norway, possessing Jutland, Norway, Greenland, Schleswig-Holstein, Iceland, and several smaller territories, still maintained a considerable navy. The majority of the Danish army, under the Crown Prince, was at this time defending the southern border against possible attack from the French.
There was concern in Britain that Napoleon might try to force Denmark to close the Baltic Sea to British ships, perhaps by marching French troops into Zealand. The British believed that access to the Baltic was "vitally important to Britain" for trade as well as a major source of necessary raw materials for building and maintaining warships, and that it gave the Royal Navy access to help Britain's allies Sweden and (before Tilsit) Russia against France. [3] The British thought that after Prussia had been defeated in December 1806, Denmark's independence looked increasingly under threat from France. George Canning's predecessor as Foreign Secretary, Lord Howick, had tried unsuccessfully to persuade Denmark into a secret alliance with Britain and Sweden. [4]
On 21 January 1807, Lord Hawkesbury told the House of Lords that he had received information from someone on the Continent "that there were secret engagements in the Treaty of Tilsit to employ the navies of Denmark and Portugal against this country". [5] He refused to publish the source because he said it would endanger their lives. [6]
The reports of French diplomats and merchants in northern Europe made the British government uneasy, and by mid-July the British believed that the French intended to invade Holstein in order to use Denmark against Britain. Some reports suggested that the Danes had secretly agreed to this. The Cabinet decided to act, and on 14 July Lord Mulgrave obtained from the King permission to send a naval force of 21 to 22 ships to the Kattegat for surveillance of the Danish navy in order to pursue "prompt and vigorous operations" if that seemed necessary. The Cabinet decided on 18 July to send Francis Jackson on a secret mission to Copenhagen to persuade Denmark to give its fleet to Britain. That same day, the Admiralty issued an order for more than 50 ships to sail for "particular service" under Admiral James Gambier. On 19 July, Lord Castlereagh, the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, ordered General Lord Cathcart at Stralsund to go with his troops to the Sound where they would get reinforcements. [7]
During the night of 21/22 July, Canning received intelligence from Tilsit that Napoleon had tried to persuade Alexander I of Russia to form a maritime league with Denmark and Portugal against Britain. Spencer Perceval, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, wrote a memorandum setting out the government's case for sending forces to Copenhagen: "The intelligence from so many and such various sources" that Napoleon's intent was to force Denmark into war against Britain could not be doubted. "Nay, the fact that he has openly avowed such intention in an interview with the E[mperor] of R[ussia] is brought to this country in such a way as it cannot be doubted. Under such circumstances it would be madness, it would be idiotic... to wait for an overt act". [8]
The British assembled a force of 25,000 troops, and the vanguard sailed on 30 July; Jackson set out the next day. Canning offered Denmark a treaty of alliance and mutual defence, with a convention signed for the return of the fleet after the war, the protection of 21 British warships and a subsidy for how many soldiers Denmark kept standing. On 31 July, Napoleon ordered Talleyrand to tell Denmark to prepare for war against Britain or else Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte would invade Holstein. [9] Neither Talleyrand nor Jackson persuaded the Danes to end their neutrality, so Jackson went back to the British fleet assembled in the Sound on 15 August. The British published a proclamation demanding the deposit of the Danish fleet; the Danes responded with "what amounted to a declaration of war". [10]
On 12 August, the 32-gun Danish frigate Friderichsværn sailed for Norway from Elsinor. Admiral Lord Gambier sent the 74-gun third rate Defence and the 22-gun sixth rate Comus after her, even though war had not yet been declared. [11] Comus was much faster than Defence in the light winds and so outdistanced her. On 15 August, Comus caught Friderichsværn off Marstrand and captured her. [12] [13] [14] The British took her into service as HMS Frederikscoarn.

The British troops under General Lord Cathcart were organised as follows: [15]
Cavalry Brigade: Major General von Linsingen, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Light Dragoons King's German Legion
Artillery & Engineers: Major General Blomefield, 84 field guns and 101 siege guns
First Division: Lieutenant General Sir George Ludlow
Guards Brigade: Major General Edward Finch, 1/Coldstream Guards, 1/3rd Guards
1st Brigade: Brigadier General Warde, 1/28th, 1/79th
Second Division: Lieutenant General Sir David Baird
2nd Brigade: Major General Grosvenor, 1/4th, 1/23rd
3rd Brigade: Major General Spencer, 1/32nd, 1/50th, 1/82nd
4th Brigade: Brigadier General Macfarlane, 1/7th, 1/8th
Reserve: Major General Sir Arthur Wellesley
Brigadier General Stewart, 1/43rd, 2/52nd, 1/92nd, 5 coys. 1/95th, 2/95th
KGL Division: Major General van Drechel
1st Brigade: Colonel du Plat, 6th, 7th, 8th Line Batts.
2nd Brigade: Colonel von Drieburg, 3rd, 4th, 5th Line Batts.
3rd Brigade: Colonel von Barsse, 1st and 2nd Line Batts.
4th Brigade: Colonel von Alten, 1st and 2nd Light Batts.
The Danish forces in the city amounted to 5,000 regular troops and a similar number of militias. Most of the civilian inhabitants of Copenhagen were evacuated in the few days before Copenhagen was completely invested. [16]
On 26 August, General Wellesley was detached with his reserve and two light brigades of British artillery, as well as one battalion, eight squadrons and one troop of horse artillery from the King's German Legion (KGL) to disperse a force which had been sent to relieve the beleaguered city. On 29 August, at the rivulet of Køge, this significant British force swiftly overpowered the Danish troops, which amounted to only three or four regular battalions and some cavalry (see Battle of Køge). [17]
The Danes rejected British demands, [18] so the British fleet under Admiral Gambier bombarded the city from 2 to 5 September 1807. In addition to the military casualties, the British bombardment of Copenhagen killed some 195 civilians and injured 768. [19]
The bombardment included 300 Congreve Rockets, which caused fires. [lower-alpha 1] Due to the civilian evacuation, the normal firefighting arrangements were ineffective; over a thousand buildings were burned. [21]
On 5 September, the Danes sued for peace, and the capitulation was signed on 7 September. Denmark agreed to surrender its navy and its naval stores. In return, the British undertook to leave Copenhagen within six weeks.
Peymann had been under orders from the Crown Prince to burn the Danish fleet, [22] which he failed to do, though the reason for his failure is unknown. [lower-alpha 2]
Thus, on 7 September 1807 Peymann surrendered the fleet (eighteen ships of the line, eleven frigates, two smaller ships, two ship-sloops, seven brig-sloops, two brigs, one schooner and twenty-six gunboats). In addition, the British broke up or destroyed three 74-gun ships-of-the-line on the stocks, along with two of the ships-of-the-fleet and two elderly frigates.
After her capture, one ex-Danish ship-of-the-line, Neptunos, ran aground and was burnt on or near the island of Hven. Then, when a storm arose in the Kattegat, the British destroyed or abandoned twenty-three of the captured gunboats. The British added the fifteen captured ships-of-the-line that reached Britain to the British Navy but only four – Christian VII 80, Dannemark 74, Norge 74 and Princess Carolina 74 – saw subsequent active service.
On 21 October 1807, the British fleet left Copenhagen for the United Kingdom. However, the war continued until 1814, when the Treaty of Kiel was signed.

The news of what happened did not reach Canning until 16 September. He wrote to Rev. William Leigh: "Did I not tell you we would save Plumstead from bombardment?" One week later he wrote: "Nothing ever was more brilliant, more salutary or more effectual than the success [at Copenhagen]" and Perceval expressed similar sentiments. [23] The Times said that the confiscation of the Danish fleet was "a bare act of self-preservation" and noticed the short distance between Denmark and Ireland or north-east Scotland. William Cobbett in his Political Register wrote that it was "vile mockery" and "mere party cavilling" to claim that Denmark had the means to preserve her neutrality. William Wilberforce MP said the expedition could be defended on grounds of self-defence. Thomas Grenville wrote to his brother Lord Grenville that he could not help feeling "that in their [the government's] situation we should very probably have given the same order without being able to publish to Parliament the grounds on which we had believed in the hostile mind of Denmark". [23] Lord Erskine condemned it by saying "if hell did not exist before, Providence would create it now to punish ministers for that damnable measure".[ citation needed ]
The opposition claimed the national character was stained and Canning read out in Parliament the previous administration's plans in 1806 to stop the Portuguese navy falling into the hands of France. Canning and Castlereagh wished to hold Zealand and suggested that when the British evacuated it as part of the peace they should immediately occupy it again. This was strongly opposed by Sir Arthur Wellesley, however, and it did not happen. [24] The opposition claimed that the attack had turned Denmark from a neutral into an enemy. Canning replied by saying that the British were hated throughout Europe and so Britain could wage an "all-out maritime war" against France without worrying who they were going to upset. [25]
The opposition did not at first table a vote of censure on the battle and instead, on 3 February 1808, demanded the publication of all the letters sent by the British envoy in Denmark on information regarding the war-readiness of the Danish navy. Canning replied with a three-hour speech which Lord Palmerston described as "so powerful that it gave a decisive turn to the debate". Lord Howick said the speech was "eloquent and powerful" but that it was an "audacious misrepresentation" and "positive falsehood" of the correspondence between himself and Benjamin Garlike. The three motions on this subject were heavily defeated and on 21 March the opposition tabled a direct motion of censure on the battle. It was defeated by 224 votes to 64 after Canning made a speech "very witty, very eloquent and very able". [26]
The British bombardment frustrated the first attempt to publish a modern edition of the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf as the subsequent fire destroyed the 20-year work of scholar Grímur Jónsson Thorkelin. Two manuscripts, however, were recovered and Thorkelin eventually published the poem in 1815. [27]
A horse foaled in 1808 (the year following the battle) was named "Copenhagen" in its honor, and was eventually sold to Wellesley and became his favored mount, most notably at the Battle of Waterloo.
126 ships, large and small, were involved at Copenhagen, included those named below. [28]
In addition to those named here, there were another three dozen smaller frigates, sloops, bomb vessels, gun-brigs and schooners (e.g.HMS Rook attached to the British fleet), and a very large number of merchant or requisitioned ships carrying troops or supplies. [lower-alpha 3]

Stubbekjøbing had been destroyed by a mortar fired from the land at Svanemølle Bay on 26 August.
Four barges (stykpram), floating gun platforms each with 20 cannon, were incapable of being moved far and so the British scuttled the barges during the British occupation of Copenhagen. Of these four barges (Hajen, Kiempen, Lindormen and Sværdfisken) only Hajen was not raised and refurbished by the Danes after the British departure. A further "unsinkable" floating battery (Flaadebatteri No 1) of twenty-four 24-pound cannon was rendered inoperable and decommissioned the following year. [lower-alpha 5]
List of ships captured during Battle of Copenhagen
↑ Various accounts say that between 10,000 and 120,000 rockets were launched. Congreve, who was present in Copenhagen, stated that "only 300 were fired"; [20] other documents agree with these numbers.[ citation needed ]
↑ The order came from the Crown Prince because the King, Christian VII of Denmark, was not mentally stable.
↑ All were awarded prize money at the rate of £3 8s per able seaman and £22 11s per petty officer for their presence on 7 September 1807 at Copenhagen.
The initial listing in the London Gazette names almost all of the ships, once one adjusts for ad hoc translations of names from Danish to English, and for transliterations. This initial list does not include the frigate Nymphen, the two brigs Allart and Delphinen, the schooner Ornen, or the gunboat Stege. Though it mentions that twenty-five gunboats were taken, it does not list them by name. [29]
In this list, ships' names and number of cannon are as recorded in the individual ship's record cards by the Danish Naval Museum Orlogmuseet Skibregister
↑ In 1809 there was a plan to give almost all of captured vessels more traditional British warship names, but this plan was later cancelled, and most Danish vessels retained their original names, or at least, anglicised versions thereof, until they were broken up.

The Battle of Copenhagen of 1801 was a naval battle in which a British fleet fought a large force of the Dano–Norwegian Navy anchored near Copenhagen on 2 April 1801.
Admiral of the Fleet James Gambier, 1st Baron Gambier, was a Royal Navy officer. After seeing action at the capture of Charleston during the American Revolutionary War, he saw action again, as captain of the third-rate HMS Defence, at the battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794, during the French Revolutionary Wars, gaining the distinction of commanding the first ship to break through the enemy line.
During the Napoleonic Wars, the Anglo-Russian War was the phase of hostilities between the United Kingdom and Russia after the latter signed the Treaty of Tilsit that ended its war with France. Anglo-Russian hostilities were limited primarily to minor naval actions in the Baltic and Barents Seas.
The Gunboat War was the naval conflict between Denmark–Norway and the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. The war's name is derived from the Danish tactic of employing small gunboats against the conventional Royal Navy. In Scandinavia it is seen as the later stage of the English Wars, whose commencement is accounted as the First Battle of Copenhagen in 1801.
Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st Baronet, GCB was an officer of the Royal Navy, serving during the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, as the Governor of Newfoundland during the War of 1812, and a member of the British House of Commons during his semi-retirement. Duckworth, a vicar's son, achieved much in a naval career that began at the age of 11.
The Battle of Lyngør was a naval action fought between Denmark-Norway and the United Kingdom in 1812 on the southern coast of Norway. The battle ended in a Danish defeat, and the end of Danish involvement in the Napoleonic Wars.
The Dardanelles Operation was the Royal Navy's unsuccessful attempt to impose British demands on the Ottoman Empire as part of the Anglo-Turkish War (1807-1809).
The Battle of Anholt occurred during the Gunboat War, a war between the United Kingdom and Denmark-Norway. It was an attempt by the Danes to recapture Anholt, a small Danish island off the coast of Jutland, which the British had captured in 1809. The Danish army had a larger fighting force than the British, but a lack of planning and supply failures led to a devastating defeat and many Danish casualties. After the battle, the British occupation of Anholt continued until the peace treaty in 1814. There is a monument commemorating the battle in Anholt village.
HMS Edgar was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, that saw service in the American Revolutionary, French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Launched in 1779, she fought in the battles of Cape St Vincent and Copenhagen, two of the major naval engagements of the wars.
HMS Mutine was a Royal Navy 18-gun Cruizer class brig-sloop, built by Henry Tucker at Bideford and launched in 1806. During her career she was under fire in Danish waters, in the Bay of Biscay, and at Algiers. She also visited North America, South America, and the West Coast of Africa. She was sold in 1819.
HMS Turbulent was a Confounder-class 12-gun gun-brig in the Royal Navy. She was the first ship to bear this name. Built at Dartmouth, Devon by Tanner, she was launched on 17 July 1805. The Danes captured her in 1808. She was sold in 1814.
HMS Belette was an 18-gun Cruizer-class brig-sloop, built by King at Dover and launched on 21 March 1806. During the Napoleonic Wars she served with some success in the Baltic and the Caribbean. Belette was lost in the Kattegat in 1812 when she hit a rock off Læsø.
Vice-Admiral William Lukin, later William Lukin Windham was a Royal Navy officer who rose to the rank of Vice Admiral and served with great distinction through the Napoleonic Wars. Eventually he inherited the house and estates of William Windham.
The Battle of Saltholm was fought on 9 June 1808 during the Gunboat War. Danish and Norwegian ships attacked a British convoy off the island of Saltholm in Øresund Strait near Copenhagen.
Samuel Hood Linzee was an admiral of the British Royal Navy who served during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Rear-Admiral Edward Sneyd Clay was an officer of the Royal Navy who served during the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Jochum Nicolay Müller was a Norwegian naval officer who, as a midshipman, excelled at mathematics. As a junior lieutenant he met Horatio Nelson, and as a captain commanded the Finnmark squadron. He finally rose to the rank of Vice Admiral in the independent Royal Norwegian Navy.
HDMS Allart, a brig launched at Copenhagen in June 1807, was amongst the ships taken by the British after the second Battle of Copenhagen. In British service, she was recaptured by Danish-Norwegian gunboats after venturing too close inshore. Her subsequent service was in the Dano-Norwegian Navy's Norwegian Brig Division, which harried enemy frigates and convoys in Norwegian waters. On the separation of Denmark from Norway in 1814, Allart transferred to the Norwegian navy, who sold her in 1825.
The second British Invasion of the Danish West Indies took place in December 1807 when a British fleet captured the Danish islands of St Thomas on 22 December and Santa Cruz on 25 December. The Danes did not resist and the invasion was bloodless. This British occupation of the Danish West Indies lasted until 20 November 1815, when Britain returned the islands to Denmark.
HDMS Friderichsværn was a Danish frigate built at Nyeholm, Copenhagen, in 1783. The British Royal Navy captured her in 1807 and took her into service as HMS Frederickscoarn. It sold her in 1814.

Polish ambassador to Israel assaulted and spat on in Tel Aviv
Warsaw, Poland – A 65-year-old man spat on the Polish ambassador in Tel Aviv, Israel, Marek Magierowski on Tuesday while he was sitting in his car. According to his lawyer, the man had just been turned away from the embassy after attempting to ask for information about the restitution of Jewish property.
Although he apologized for his gesture, the accused said he didn't know the man he spat on was the Polish ambassador to Israel, and claimed embassy guards had previously insulted him and called him a "little Jew". Police are currently investigating the incident.
Government condemns "racist attack" against Polish ambassador in Israel
Polish authorities quickly condemned the attack, with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki calling it a "racist attack" and "xenophobic act of aggression". "The violence against diplomats or any other national will not be tolerated", the Polish Premier added on Twitter.
While Israel's ambassador to Poland Anna Azari was summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry following the incident, the Israeli Foreign Ministry expressed its "fullest sympathy to the ambassador" and said it was "chocked" by the aggression.
Poland's president Andrzej Duda went one step further, claiming the incident showed the "hatred" fostered by Jews against Polish people.
The controversial issue of Jewish property restitution
This incident comes amid growing tensions between the two countries over demands, pushed by Israel and the United States, that Poland pay reparations for former Jewish properties that were looted by Nazi Germany and nationalized by the communist regime after the war.
But the nationalist ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has repeatedly refused to pay any kind of compensation. Last week, thousands of people marched in the capital Warsaw to oppose the restitution of Jewish property and "attempts to steal Polish property".
Bilateral talks between Poland and Israel, due to be held this week, were cancelled at the last minute by Poland's Foreign Ministry, which declared that the changes to the composition of the Israeli delegation "led us to assume that the return of the property of Holocaust victims was to be the main issue", prompting the summit's cancellation.
Long-standing tensions between Poland and Israel
But tensions between Poland and Israel have been rising for some time, and reached their peak when the Polish government passed the so-called "Holocaust law" criminalizing the attribution of Nazi Germany's crimes during World War II to Poland and Poles, including the use of the phrase "Polish death camps". Although the bill was eventually watered down under pressure from the U.S. and Israel, many observers highlight the continued rise of anti-Semitic and Holocaust revisionism discourse from Polish officials.
In February, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki cancelled a trip to Jerusalem, where he was supposed to attend a summit with Visegrad Group leaders and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the latter's controversial remarks about the collaboration of some Polish people with Nazi Germany during the war.
This issue has remained at the forefront of Polish public debate in recent months amid mounting controversies. In March, a right-wing Polish newspaper faced backlash for running an article on "How to Spot a Jew" on its front-page. In April, the World Jewish Congress (WJC) slammed a Polish town's Good Friday ritual lynching of a Judas effigy, labelled as a "ghastly revival of medieval anti-Semitism".
To warn of the rise of anti-Semitic rhetoric in Poland, a Warsaw theatre recently staged a play based on 'Mein Kampf', "to show that the language used by politicians, by everyone in Poland, is worse that the language of Hitler".

Q: ReactJS - TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'createPortal') - Why? I am getting the following error when trying to display the modal:

My code is the following:

What i am doing wrong?

A: For react v18 and above  the import statement does have client included
so replacing
import {ReactDOM} from 'react-dom'

with
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';

is advised
as per docs on react portals

A: The mistake is in import statment.
Replace
import {ReactDOM} from 'react-dom'

with
import ReactDOM from "react-dom"

Reason : As there is no  named export of ReactDOM from "react-dom", it is not imported and the reference will be undefined. So, you are getting the error. ReactDOM is default export.
UPDATE
Replace
import {ReactDOM} from 'react-dom'

with
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client"

Reason : Now react does't support importing ReactDOM from react-dom instead it supports importing ReactDOM from react-dom/client

Lux Prima is the name of the album by the fabulous frontwoman Karen O and celebrated musician/producer Danger Mouse. The closest musical reference to understanding Lux Prima is Air's Moon Safari, reflecting a fascination with 1960s French pop and late 20th century space age and R&B pop, although less dependent on electronic sounds and synthesizers. Overall, Lux Prima is a chill, almost atmospheric experiment with some sophisticated upbeat interventions just to break calmness. I don't think this will be the only time Karen O and Danger Mouse will work together.
Something else from the press release:
Karen O And Danger Mouse are excited to share their new collaborative album Lux Prima, which will be the first partnership from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' singer and the acclaimed musician-producer. The duo became friends after meeting in 2007, and decided to enter the studio after the birth of O's first son in 2015. While containing elements that could be found on other straight-ahead rock tracks from Danger Mouse-affiliated groups like Broken Bells or The Black Keys, Karen O's distinct vocal style cuts through to create and exciting and entirely new merging of talents.
RIYL: Air's Moon Safari, Massive Attack, Françoise Hardy, Nile Rodgers, Parquet Courts & Daniele Luppi's Milano.

Baseball is life. One minute you're up; the next you're down.
I know this. You know this. Boy, does Christopher Ratte know it.
And we all know that taking your kids to a ballgame is the quintessential American rite of passage . . . to be celebrated, cherished, protected.
Just be careful buying the kids lemonade at the game. Your loved ones' very well being may depend on it. Give 'em a soda loaded with caffeine and high-fructose corn syrup instead.
It's safer than lemonade, but only because some lemonade is hard — spiked with 5 percent alcohol. There are commercials for this stuff on TV.
I know this. (At least, now I do.) You know this. But Chris Ratte didn't know.
Ratte doesn't watch television. And yet he dared to take his son Leo, seven, to the Detroit Tigers April 5 game against the Chicago White Sox. As a Tiger fan, I can tell you nothing went right. The Tigers lost 5-3.
But here's the other thing that was problematic. On the way to Section 114, down the right field line, just as the seats jut out closer to the field in Detroit's beautiful new ballpark, Chris stopped to get refreshments. I don't know what he got himself. No one's been forcibly confined over that decision. But he bought his son some lemonade.
Mike's Hard Lemonade, to be exact.
"Lil, they have lemonade, do you want that?"
"Paul, that's hard lemonade," says my brother. "It's got alcohol in it."
"How 'bout a Sprite, Lillie?"
Chris Ratte may want to start going to games with my brother.
Luckily no one thought Ratte was purposely getting his son sauced or anything like that. Somehow that's not been a strategy parents often employ for child management. Especially at the ballpark, there are many better alternatives.
Folks might be more skeptical if we weren't talking lemonade. For instance, if the 7-year old were smoking a Marlboro and the father said he thought it a candy cigarette, no one would buy that excuse. But lemonade is another matter.
The Comerica Park security guard certainly understood it was all a mistake. He saw the kid and "the bottle" in the ninth inning and asked the father about it.
The nurses and doctors at Children's Hospital, where father and son were rushed via ambulance, were not concerned about mistreatment. They drew blood and found nary a trace of alcohol in the little boy's system. The resident who examined Leo wrote on his chart, "Completely normal appearing. . . . He is cleared to go home."
A policewoman interviewed Ratte and his son at the hospital and was absolutely sympathetic as well. But her supervisor insisted the case be turned over to Michigan's Child Protective Services.
So CPS came to the hospital to take Leo from his father. And mother, too. So that this 7-year-old could top off his trip to the ballgame with three days in state custody.
Only then did a judge order the 7-year-old returned to his home, with his mother, over CPS's request to hold him until their investigation was complete. But as part of that order, Leo's father, Chris, was forced to leave the home. To stay at a hotel. It was five more days before the family could legally reunite.
It shouldn't matter, of course, but it might interest you to know that Mr. Ratte is a tenured professor of classical archeology at the University of Michigan. His wife is also a UM professor. Wonder what might have happened had he been a ditch-digger? Had he been a widower?
Leo might still be in foster care. Far from home.
Maybe life isn't baseball. Baseball makes more sense.

The Cariaco Basin lies off the north central coast of Venezuela and forms the Gulf of Cariaco.  It is bounded on the east by Margarita Island, Cubagua Island, and the Araya Peninsula; on the north by Tortuga Island and the Tortuga Banks; on the west by Cape Codera and the rocks known as Farallón Centinela; and on the south by the coast of Venezuela.

Description
The Cariaco Basin is an east-west trending pull-apart basin located on the continental shelf off the eastern coast of Venezuela. It is a deep depression composed of two sub-basins, the eastern basin and the western basin, each of about  depth, separated by a saddle of approximately  water-depth. To the south, the basin confines with the wide (~50 km) Unare Platform.

It is connected to the open Caribbean Sea through two shallow (around ) channels, to the north the (Tortuga Channel) and to the west the (Centinela Channel). Water circulation inside the basin is restricted, which, combined with the high annual primary productivity of the region (~500 gCm−2yr−1), causes the basin to be permanently anoxic, below ~250 m. This naturally occurring anoxic basin allows for sediments to be deposited without bioturbation, forming varves of alternating light and dark color, which correspond to the dry or rainy season. Its unique geography and undisturbed sediment record provides an excellent history of tropical climate change and is particularly sensitive to shifts in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)  and has been the subject of extensive paleoclimatological research, amongst other sedimentological studies, geochemical studies, with alkenones, Mg/Ca, and micropaleontological, with foraminifera,  pollen and spores, dinocysts and coccoliths.

Anoxic basin
Because of its anoxia, the Cariaco Basin has also a unique chemistry. Bacteria inhabit both the oxic and anoxic portions of the water column, with a maximum around the interface where oxygen disappears. This 'interface' oscillates between 200 and 300 meters. As such unique location, the Cariaco Basin has been the site of a variety of studies since the mid-1950s. Since 1995, an international (Venezuela and United States) program has expanded the research in the basin. The CARIACO (Carbon Retention in a Colored Ocean;  ) program consists of a time series station in the eastern deep of the basin which is visited on a monthly basis to collect hydrographic, nutrient and primary productivity measurements. A suite of other measurements, including a sediment trap mooring, microbiological studies and current measurements are also conducted at this site. The work that has resulted from the CARIACO ocean time series program has demonstrated that this anoxic basin is quite dynamic and has helped understand the paleoclimatic record stored in the basin's sediments.

Ecology

The Cariaco Basin is an example of upwelling zone ecosystems.
The seasonal upwelling cycle and sea surface temperature changes are linked to the intensity of the trade winds, and cause events of high primary production that support a very high biomass of plankton, fish, and marine birds and mammals. The seasonal productivity drives the abundance of sardines and attract dolphins. The waters are also home to several species of whales (such as rorquals and humpback), and orcas.

Four boxes of graham crackers in one is a bonus of having our Sam's Club membership. My son loves graham crackers (and so do I), but the day came when I had to tell my 2 year old that we were out of crackers! After the disbelief and tears of a cracker-less kitchen passed, I though "well gosh darn it, why not make them from scratch". Entering stage left, Pinterest, with its wonderful pins of graham cracker recipes.
This recipe has: nutmeg, butter, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and baking soda.
This recipe has: egg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and milk.
After completing both recipes a few times, I had my trusty taste testers choose our go to recipe.
Overall, we decided on the recipe from Completely Delicious. We especially think the dough taste great baked or raw; and for those parents who don't want their kids eating raw egg, this recipe is also a bonus.
Three tips I have are: (1) make sure you roll out thin, thinner than you think you should, (2) check them in the oven at the shortest bake time to make sure they don't over bake. The edges can get rather crispy quickly.
With one batch of graham cracker dough and rolling fairly thin, I was able to get 55 crackers (minus a few that were eaten raw by the family).
Leave a comment below if you have a different graham cracker recipe you like!

Louis C.K. Circling David O. Russell's Next Film
Jeremy Lebens	 January 12, 2013 Leave a comment
Director David O. Russell must be loving the press as of late. His latest film Silver Linings Playbook has been gathering a lot of Oscar nominations, which means it's now time to change focus on his next drama, which is sort-of titled American Bullshit.
There's been a lot of news regarding that one, with a cast (as of now) that consists of Christan Bale, Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper.
The newest piece of information reports that comedian Louis C.K. is joining the film, which would make this already must-see an even more important film to seek out. C.K. is kind of one of the funniest people around and pairing him with such an all-star cast can only lead to good things.
Here's all we know about O. Russell's next film:
"The Untitled David O. Russell Project is based on the true story of a notorious financial con artist (Bale) and his mistress/partner in crime (Adams), who were forced to work with an out of control federal agent (Cooper) to turn the tables on other con artists, mobsters, and politicians. At the epicenter of the entire tale, is the passionate and volatile leader of the New Jersey state assembly (Renner) who is also the local hero and mayor of impoverished Camden."

Q: injecting a filename containing content hash into html generated by html-webpack-plugin I'm working on a project that uses the html-webpack-plugin (plus the handlebars-loader) to render a handlebars template into an index.html. Straightforward enough.
We are also using a different plugin (the svg-spritemap-webpack-plugin, but the specifics are unimportant) to generate an SVG map file.
We would love for the generated svg map to have a content hash in the filename, and for it to be included via <img> tag in the index.html. That way all the svgs are not directly embedded into the html, reducing the html size and facilitating cacheing. Change the svgs and the content hash will change, browsers will then fetch a new copy. Great.
The issue is: How can we figure out what this svg map will be called so that we can inject the link into our html?
Our first thought was to try and write a handlebars helper which would look up the filename after it has been generated. We thought we could use the webpack-manifest-plugin or even just look in the build directory with a regex. Unfortunately, by default the html-webpack-plugin runs quite early, long before the svg file exists. Even writing a custom plugin which uses an compilation.hooks.processAssets.intercept({...}) to change the tap.stage of the HtmlWebpackPlugin to something like PROCESS_ASSETS_STAGE_REPORT, or even just a really large value like 20k, doesn't help. The svg file still don't exist to be found when the html is generated.
I feel like this should be a super simple task and that I'm just missing something really obvious... any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got some vacation time coming up soon, and I'd love to see the country, and make a ton of money at the same time.
So… anyone know how I can get in on this? I'm willing to travel, just like all the other "outside agitators".

Stand with Sweden in it's darkest hour
February 20, 2017 February 20, 2017 Jim Reeves Uncategorized
Bowling Green. Atlanta. Sweden. The toll continues to climb, and only Donald J. Trump can save the world.
I'm just not sure which world that is, exactly.
I stopped by the White House web site this morning, and found this little gem on the biography page: "Likewise, his entry into politics and public service resulted in the Presidential victory in, miraculously, his first ever run for office." Except for that run in 2000 as a Reform Party candidate. Perhaps that's another one of those "alternative facts" we've heard so much about lately.
Back to Sweden, though. Our thoughts, and the prayers of the religious among us, are with the Swedes today. We urge them to stand strong in the face of whatever it was that struck last week, and to know that we are with them. I would suggest they contact our embassy, but, as far as I know, Hair Furor fired the ambassador last month. I suppose a cultural attache will have to do for now.
Perhaps the survivors of Bowling Green and Atlanta can join together to offer support and guidance as the Swedes struggle to recover.
Special shout out to Fox News, for keeping the President informed of such tragedies. It's clear the CIA and the NSA dropped the ball on this. No wonder the President's Daily Briefings are held in such low esteem in 45's White House.

Nunes: Flynn is in good. Trump: Flynn's fired. Spicer: Flynn quit
What a difference a day makes.
"House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) says he expects embattled national security adviser Michael Flynn to keep his job amid controversy over his talks with the Russian ambassador." – The Hill, 2-13-17
Nunes told Bloomberg News on Monday, "there's a lot of nothing there".
Monday night, Trump fired Flynn, then Tuesday the White House basically changed the story and said he resigned, so I suspect it was a case of Flynn saying "you can't fire me, I quit!"
Either way, Nunes isn't going to investigate Flynn or the Russians, but is hot to find leaks in the FBI, and why calls to the Russians are monitored (maybe he's not up on the legacy of the Patriot Act?). He's not going to go after the collaborator, but he will go after those charged with catching them.
One thing is for sure – Nunes has been left holding the bag by the Trump administration, and it certainly doesn't contain Hershey Kisses.
I keep seeing images in my head of a Keystone Cops movie, set at the White House and Capitol Hill.

Nunes to SSI recipients: It's OK to keep your money from you, but not your gun
Some SSI recipients are incapable of managing their own affairs, and often those reasons are related to mental illness. In such cases other people are authorized to receive and disburse their benefits, basically stepping in to make sure the recipient has someone providing them with at least a minimum of care and supervision.
On December 16, 2016, the Social Security Administration issued new rules requiring notification be made to the Attorney General of the United States, for inclusion on National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the names of those individuals who have been deemed unable to manage their own affairs for "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease". This would have the effect of preventing such individuals from purchasing a gun. (This rule was first proposed in July 2015, as part of ongoing actions after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. It wasn't a last-minute decision by an outgoing administration.)
The NRA has, of course, taken a stand against this rule, saying it was part of the Obama administration's "politically-motivated gun control binge", "stripping individuals of their Second Amendment rights". Those against the ruling posit that people who are forgetful, who cannot balance a checkbook, or have an eating disorder will not be able to own guns.
Playing right into the NRA's hysterical hand-wringing though, liberal media have chosen to play up the possibility that a seriously mentally deranged individual would be able to buy a gun (assuming, of course, that their payee cut loose with enough of their SSI check to do so). The NRA points out that "the federal prohibitions on people who have been subject to involuntarily mental health commitments or subjected to "adjudications" of "mental defectiveness" remain on the books". The technicality of that is, of course, that it takes an actual commitment or "adjudication" to prevent a seriously disabled person from purchasing a firearm. At that point, it's often the case that a crime has been committed, and the courts are dealing with the aftermath.
Ever diligent in their desire to see more guns on the streets, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives on February 2, 2017, passed H.J. Res 40, repealing the Social Security Administration's rule. This resolution is not part of some other bill, tucked in as an amendment. This is a short, single purpose bill, with only one action. The bill now moves to the Senate.
Congressman Devin Nunes voted in favor of this bill. This means the Congressman is fine with giving a SSI recipient's money to someone else because they're unable to take care of their own affairs, but doesn't think they need supervision when it comes to purchasing a firearm.
Such individuals don't need their money, but they do need access to guns. I feel safer already.
Visalia's Avenues of Heroes – The Brave Project
February 7, 2017 Jim Reeves Uncategorized
Have you noticed the banners mounted to street lamp posts on Akers Road and on Caldwell Avenue? The ones listing a name and military branch? Ever wonder where those came from? Well, this is where.
The Brave Project Visalia's Avenue(s) of Heroes places 6′ x 3′ banners to honor Visalia residents who are serving in the United States Military. Installed at the request of families (or the service members themselves), each banner costs $450 to purchase and have mounted on a lamp post.
At this week's Visalia Pride Lions meeting, a presentation by The Brave Project Visalia explained the program and it's costs. The speakers told the Lions Club members and guests how the organization accepted donations to help offset the costs for families who want to honor the service of their loved one, but might find it difficult to absorb the expense.
Other service groups interested in underwriting the cost the banners can contact them directly for details.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for redress of grievances." First Amendment, U.S. Constitution
In the first two weeks of the Trump administration, the President or his staff have taken actions against, or complained about, the expression of each part of the first amendment. It's like they've never even read it.
Police departments in large cities have had to deal with protest crowds for years, and most of them, most of the time, do fairly well. Now, in the Trump era, departments in even small towns have had to engage in a crash course in how to respond. Most of them are also doing fairly well in respecting their citizen's first amendment rights. Visalia held a protest recently, where organizers expected maybe 80 or 100 people to show up. Imagine everyone's surprise, especially the Visalia Police Department's, when an estimated 500 were on hand to express themselves. VPD must have done a good job, we've not heard of any issues arising from the peaceful protest. (a lot of nonsense on Facebook about it, but that doesn't really count)
I think the protests are the only good thing I've seen happen as a result of Trump winning the Presidency. He's reminded the American people of their basic civil duty, and their right to engage in defending their country. I doubt he thought it would be in response to his actions (or just his presence), though.
We're going to be seeing a lot of this kind of thing in the future. I have no doubt that instigators will try to inflame things by engaging in violence and destruction (as we saw in Berkeley), and of course the Fox News and Breitbarts of the country will try to lay the blame on liberals and liberalism. They'll ignore hundreds of peaceful demonstrations, and focus on the few outliers. After all, that's how they drive their ratings and page clicks. I have no doubt that Robert Reich was correct when he stated on CNN that outside agitators invaded the Berkeley protests, set fires and broke windows, and that they are linked to right-wing organizations. Peaceful protests don't suit their agenda, so it's not unexpected that things like that happen.
I expect more events like Berkeley will happen, as the right wing begins to recognize how badly they're losing the hearts and minds of the public.

The Bowling Green Massacre wasn't covered by the media, according to Counselor to the President of the United States Kellyanne Conway in a Thursday interview on MSNBC. Shame on them, right? Two Iraqi men in America became radicalized and carried out a massacre, and not a peep from what Sarah Palin (remember her?) calls the "lame-stream media". Heck, even President Obama slapped a ban on immigration for six months because of it! A big deal!
Except for one little detail. It never happened.

Bowling Green. That's in Kentucky, if I'm not mistaken. (I'm not. It is. I checked.) Two Iraqi men who had been living there were convicted of making IEDs while they were in Iraq, and later attempting to send money and weapons to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, from Kentucky. Here's the info on that. (You may want to check that link quick, the way things are disappearing from Federal websites these days it might not be there much longer. Especially once the administration realizes that it exists.)
Example of Fake News: Bowling Green massacre.
Example of Fake News source: Kellyanne Conway.
Two weeks in, folks. Two weeks in.
