Poacher Gets His Due

Posted By Mel Maki
Maybe you haven't thought this through. Without that rhino the Asian population will plummet and an already declining world economy will have even fewer buyers.

I liked the idea that they are now shooting to kill these poachers.   No more arrests which does nothing, shoot to kill them.  That might deter a few.    

How in the world can a Rhino horn be worth half a million dollars.  

Disgusting.  
It is maddening that any culture thinks this horn is more important than the animal's existence. Maybe if the market was flooded with fake horn. If the substance looked the same, they will not be able to tell another way, either. It would at least drive the price down.

Poacher Gets His Due

Posted By Mel Maki
Scientific American is claiming China and Vietnam are the biggest users and only a small number use it as a sexual aid. Those few are in Vietnam. It is more commonly used as a general health aid and status symbol. A few docs in Vietnam have claimed it is useful against cancer. A lot of the blame goes to Vietnam and their recently wealthy looking for ways to spend their money. Some of their government officials have also been implicated. I think they lost their last rhino in 2010.

How Long Can the Dems Run With This?

I think the Dems will lose votes, at least votes from independents, if they hammer this until the elections.  Some Dems will not want another year of this. I'm thinking Swalwell, Nadler, and the others will really start to wear on everybody.    
The Dems took some big swings at this but failed. They would not have made it this far without the media hatred of all things Trump.

People are saying this but does that sound right to you? Trump was trying to do things that would have got him into trouble but his guys disobeyed him and these things just did not get done! But boy, oh boy, if he could have found a way to get that guy fired or that guy to change directions...he wasn't smart enough to realize he could do these things himself. If the guy wouldn't do it for him, it did not get done so his job was safe.
Seems like the prosecutor would have made the case if he thought it was there.
Don Lemon is having fun reliving the glory days of Watergate.

Amazing. Cooper and friends pushed this bs for two years. Never has a news network been so wrong about something for so long. They hold the record and now they are yucking it up. And Toobin has been one of the laughing fools that has been the most wrong! Perfect.

I will not forget those clowns looking into the camera and saying Trump is a Russian agent.

Rod,
The US can survive the election of a bad president. You don't see that the forces against this president that pushed this fraud are a bigger problem. They are.
CNN, yes CNN, and MSNBC perpetuated a fraud on their viewers for more than two years with the parade of idiots pushing this nonsense. I watched them every day.

The MSNBC anchor just informed me, "...the scariest reading out there..." is about Russia's efforts to under mine our democracy.
And people say FoxNews is hype. MSNBC is not letting up. Seems like this won't help the Dem's election chances. Won't take long to find out. Maybe their ratings aren't high enough to make much difference.

Rod,
You often mention the meeting Don Jr. had with Veselnitskaya. Are you aware this was a set-up involving Clinton operatives? She had dinner with Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson the day before and the day after. Lots of links on this including some work from the Wa. Post if you are ever interested.
Somehow, with all the effort Mueller put into writing about this meeting he forgot to mention this.

So he knew that nothing could be verified about the Document, he knew that it was His DUTY under the law to make sure that the evidence they presented to courts to get FISA warrants was corroborated as True, and yet he and others used the Dossier anyway, systematically misleading the Judges who signed off on those FISA warrants. 

Rod and CNN never ever mention that do they Mel.  
The whole thing smells. He said he couldn't exonerate Trump. Is that the prosecutor's place?
Has anybody answered your second paragraph? Seems kinda important.
