After reading this steamy Article from 1995, I'm inclined to think she probably has some kinky dirt on some people. I can understand why Obama made her deputy director of the SeeEyeAye.

There's talk of having 7000 troops remain in DC until mid-March.

There has been absolutely no indication of right-wing "riots"/protests, but it fits their narrative to keep DC occupied.

Do we have a timeline of when that plane took off and landed relative to 11:48 or noon on Wednesday?
For a man to touch his hat to a woman is an insult unless he be a servant–as a coachman receiving an order from his mistress–when he acknowledges the order by touching the brim of his hat with his hand.
The origin of the Hand Salute is uncertain. Some historians believe it began in late Roman times when assassinations were common. A citizen who wanted to see a public official had to approach with his right hand raised to show that he did not hold a weapon. Knights in armor raised visors with the right hand when meeting a comrade.
This practice gradually became a way of showing respect and, in early American history, sometimes involved removing the hat. By 1820, the motion was modified to touching the hat, and since then it has become the Hand Salute used today.
In British history, in the early 1800s, the Coldstream Guards amended the British military salute custom of tipping the hat. They were instructed to clap their hands to their hats and bow as they pass by. This was quickly adopted by other Regiments as wear and tear on the hats by constant removal and replacing was a matter of great concern. By the mid 19th Century, the salute had evolved further with the open hand, palm to the front, and this has remained the case since then.
