IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: DC bar restores status of convicted ex-FBI lawyer who deceived the FISA court during Russia probe. “Typically, a case like Kevin Clinesmith’s would end in disbarment, but not this time.”

WELL, HE’S RIGHT: Manchin yells at reporter: ‘You’re bull—-.’
“This is bullshit. You’re bullshit,” Manchin yelled at Arthur Delaney, a reporter for HuffPost Politics, who asked him to confirm the report that the child tax credit has become a major sticking point in talks with the White House.
“I’m done, I’m done,” Manchin fumed, his voice rising, after Delaney asked whether the senator could support continuing $300 monthly payments to families with young kids.
The testy exchange followed another contentious back-and-forth between Manchin and a group of reporters, including CNN’s Manu Raju.
Raju reported that talks between Manchin and Biden were not going well because Manchin wants to cut the child tax credit out of the bill.
Manchin denied the report and said members of the media are hearing “a lot of bad rumors.”
“I’m not opposed to child tax credit, I’ve never been opposed to child tax credit,” he insisted.
Manchin also made clear that he’s getting sick and tired of being grilled about his position in the negotiations with Biden.
A US Senator is being bullied by the press over a partisan vote. That is most certainly bullshit.
IT’S NOT A “WATCHDOG REPORT,” IT’S A PRO-CENSORSHIP REPORT: Google still running ads for anti-climate change content, watchdog report says. From the “Center for Countering Digital Hate.”
WELL, THAT’S GOOD BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WILL EVENTUALLY GET THEM: Breakthrough infections generate ‘super immunity’ to COVID-19, study suggests.
THE DEVIL HATES TO BE MOCKED: Adam Carolla mocks the Covid tyrants.
HMM: CDC panel votes to recommend preferred status to Moderna, Pfizer vaccines over J&J.
What ever happened with Novavax’s non-MRNA vaccine? Oh: “Bureaucracy has created a mess.” Though the production problems seem mostly of Novavax’s own making.
THE FBI IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY: The FBI Said It Busted A Plot To Kidnap Michigan’s Governor. Then Things Got Complicated. “The case seemed like a lock — until an informant and one FBI agent were charged with crimes, another was accused of perjury, and a third was found promoting a private security firm. And that wasn’t all.”
Plus: “Those issues may well affect the course of the trial. But beyond the integrity of the case, the problems are serious and widespread enough to call into question tactics the FBI has relied on for decades — and to test the public’s trust in the bureau overall.”
Flashback: “I’d rather have a sister in a whorehouse than a brother in the FBI.”

THIS IS A BIG DEAL: Researchers discover water in expansive canyon on Mars. “Alexey Malakhov, a researcher at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences who co-authored a study on the findings, said in a statement that the unexpected amount of water is ‘very much like Earth’s permafrost regions.’ Water in these regions is stored in ice that permanently persists under the dry soil because of cold temperatures, he said.”
YEAH, THAT’S A REAL MYSTERY: How is there no public record of Congressional insider trading?
SOMETIMES I ENJOY TILTING AT WINDMILLS: Stick It to the Man: Get Yourself on Washington’s Terrorist Database. “It’s like something right out of George Orwell’s 1984 — if Oceana had bothered with niceties like buying a woman a drink before intimidating the hell out of her.”
MARK JUDGE: The Kavanaugh War and the End of Honor Culture.
THE METAVERSE IS TURNING OUT EXACTLY HOW I EXPECTED: Meta alerts 50,000 users to targeting by ‘surveillance-for-hire’ companies. “Targets included journalists, dissidents, critics of authoritarian regimes, families of opposition, and human rights activists, the post said. The surveillance was uncovered in a monthslong investigation in which Meta identified spying groups and removed them from the platform.”
