Kushner-Kislyak meeting: did US decrypt a Russian signal or was Trump Tower bugged?

Alexander Mercouris at The Duran - 1 hour ago
The claim US intelligence learnt of the meeting between Jared Kushner and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak by intercepting Russian communications looks implausible, leading to the possibility US intelligence obtained details of the meeting because - despite denials - Trump Tower was bugged. The post Kushner-Kislyak meeting: did US decrypt a Russian signal or was Trump Tower bugged? appeared first on The Duran.

So, today, we will turn our thoughts back to Vicksburg, Mississippi... which gave the country enough corpses to remember... and from where we've just returned. We were born south of the Mason-Dixon line. More importantly, we were born south of Pratt Street in Baltimore, giving us Southern tendencies from the start.

*My favorite hotel in Taormina was once a nunnery* I once spent the better part of a month driving around Sicily; I loved it. And, even though it's really touristic, Taormina was one of my favorite places-- stunningly beautiful well-kept little town south of Messina, the perfect place to head after the half hour ferry ride from Reggio Calabria on the mainland. Now that Trump has sullied it though... Nah, Taormina has too much to offer to be permanently damaged by the memories of the Trumpanzee presence.

Polls Predict Defeat For Paul Ryan In His Home District

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 5 hours ago
The GOP has worked to denigrate Pelosi for over a decade. Nationally her approval rating is an abysmal 30%-- with 50% disapproving of her. That's godawful! It has made her a liability for many Democratic candidates. But you know who's even more disliked-- and with no set-up by the Democrats? Flimflam Speaker Paul Ryan. The same new Quinnipiac poll that looks so devastating for Pelosi is even worse on Ryan. Only 27% approval and a 54% disapproval. He's in much worse shape, politically, than McConnell of Schumer.

The naked & the nudes

Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 5 hours ago
I spent the weekend with several dozen nudes. it was thrilling! There were women and men, big and small, young and old. They were bathing, washing, dancing. There were groups picknicking, drinking, playing. One (or two?) were sitting strangely in armchairs. One was trying on hats. Another caressing a dying young hero. One woman was even lying down as a fish. And there was a couple kissing, or about to. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Flesh-like marble. Intertwined and interlocking. Erotically charged. Moving and alive. Only a true master at the top of his game cou... more »

Are We Fighting Terrorism, Or Creating More Terrorism?

Ron Paul at 5 hours ago
[image: undefined] When we think about terrorism we most often think about the horrors of a Manchester-like attack, where a radicalized suicide bomber went into a concert hall and killed dozens of innocent civilians. It was an inexcusable act of savagery and it certainly did terrorize the population. What is less considered are attacks that leave far more civilians dead, happen nearly daily instead of rarely, and produce a constant feeling of terror and dread. These are the civilians on the receiving end of US and allied bombs in places like Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, and ... more »

Following the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, the Vietnamese refused to return their French POWs unless Paris agreed to pay financial compensation for the war.
