So... today is 02 11 2020, 11 enclosed by 22 and it's also a MIRROR.
Bit quiet so far tho... almost like the Calm before the Storm!
In 2018, Cotton was a cosponsor of the Countering the Chinese Government and Communist Party's Political Influence Operations Act, a bill introduced by Marco Rubio and Catherine Cortez Masto that would grant the U.S. Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) the authority to create an interagency task force with the purpose of examining attempts by China to influence the U.S. and key allies.

I'm beginning to wonder if Buttigieg is being set up for the nomination rather than Bernie/Biden/Bloomberg. Harvard. Rhodes Scholar. Worked on the 2004 Kerry Campaign. They tout his military background as something great when he didn't even work for it. Direct Commision Officer. Just like Hunter Biden before he failed the drug test. Reince Priebus. Reading Buttigiegs Wiki seems like a tell all of how he was groomed for this.
ETA: He also wrote his prize winning essay on none other than Bernie Sanders.
It looks like the over-the-top sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone was a planned set-up by Aaron Zelinsky et al, to force AG Bill Barr to step-in and reduce the sentence; thereby giving fuel to those in media/lawfare who are accusing AG Barr of political influence. This reeks of Lawfare scheming.
However, Zelinsky is only departing the special assistant to DC role, and it appears he is still an assistant US attorney for the District of Maryland.
Let us state the reality upfront and as clearly as possible: When we are talking about sanctuary cities, we are talking about policies that are designed to allow criminal aliens to escape. These policies are not about people who came to our country illegally but have otherwise been peaceful and productive members of society. Their express purpose is to shelter aliens whom local law enforcement has already arrested for other crimes. This is neither lawful nor sensible.
This evening, I am announcing further actions the Department of Justice will take to protect the American people and allow for the proper and lawful functioning of our nationās federal immigration system:
The department is filing a complaint against the State of New Jersey seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against its laws that forbid state and local law enforcement from sharing vital information about criminal aliens with DHS.
We are filing a complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against King County, Washington, for the policy I mentioned a moment ago that forbids DHS from deporting aliens from the United States using King County International Airport.

This tweet from President Trump makes him seem as ordinary (and helpless!) as each of us.

I get a sinking feeling every time I see one like that.

Buttigeig and Warren, I'm not sure who supports them.
But Buttigieg is also getting major fundraising help from billionaire Hamilton āTonyā James, executive vice chair at Blackstone, one of the worldās largest private equity firms. Blackstone is an owner of TeamHealth, a hospital staffing company that researchers found to be a key culprit in manufacturing surprise billing schemes that drive up profits for health care companies and burden patients with unmeetable costs.

President Trump is having an impromptu press conference right now. He sounds pretty angry.
Former āEmpireā actor Jussie Smollett was indicted again Tuesday after he denied staging a hate hoax in Chicago last year, according to a new report. Citing unidentified sources, Fox 32 Chicago said Smollett is due in court Feb. 24 for the new indictment from special prosecutor Dan Webb.
A US regulatory agency said Tuesday it would look into acquisitions made by five Big Tech firms over the past decade -- opening the door for potential antitrust reviews.
The bombshell announcement by the US Federal Trade Commission opens the door to possible investigations of deals made by Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Google parent Alphabet since 2010.
