My oh my oh my.
Lindsay Graham takes a path I’d not yet foreseen.
You heard it here first.
On CNN, the home of “shithole.”

By the way. I live in a shithole state.

James Comey 2020: oh please
Just when you thought shite couldn’t get more “off-the-hook,” shite gets more off the hook.
To my distinct pleasure and amusement.
From the WashingtonExaminer.com:
James Comey feeds the rumor he’s running for president in 2020
by Christian Datoc
James Comey posted yet another photo of himself in Iowa Saturday, prompting social media users to argue about a potential 2020 presidential bid for the former FBI director.
“So good to see new growth in Iowa and across the country,” Comey captioned a photo of himself standing in what the Washington Examiner assumed to be a corn field.
At 6’8″ tall, Comey can equal a corn stalk for at least a few minutes.
Iowa traditionally hosts the first caucuses of the presidential cycle and is often a campaign hotbed for White House hopefuls.
Please oh please oh please.
Please run for president, Jimmy The Leak.
Stand up for gnomes nationally and globally.
This will be such fun.

Church to never call police again
BZ’s summary: fine. Don’t. Just make sure you stick to your policy.
From the LATimes.com:
A California church flirts with an unusual social experiment: to never call police again
by Jaweed Kaleem
Standing on the front steps of First Congregational Church of Oakland late last month, Nichola Torbett issued a declaration.
“We can no longer tolerate the trauma inflicted on our communities by policing,” Torbett, a white church volunteer, said in front of churchgoers who held photos of African Americans shot dead by law enforcement. The church, she promised, would never call the cops again in nearly every circumstance. Dozens of members had agreed to do the same.
“How do police help? They often don’t,” Torbett later said in an interview. “So, especially as white people, why call them?”
Right. White people never need cops. Why call them?
As videos of the aftermath of white Americans dialing 911 on African Americans for taking part in innocent activities have repeatedly gone viral — two black friends meeting at a Starbucks in Philadelphia, a black grad student napping in a Yale dormitory common room, a black family having a barbecue just blocks from the Oakland congregation — members of this small church are taking extreme measures in response.
But wait. Like Leftists everywhere they want what they want when they want it.
“We’re taught to turn to police for so much, even simple disagreements between people,” said church member Sarah Pritchard, who is also white and is setting up trainings such as the July workshop. “Why can’t we resolve issues among ourselves?”
“We need to be there as a community for one another so we can provide safety for our congregation without police,” she said. Pritchard said the ban wouldn’t apply if there was a shooting or other life-threatening violence. But nearly everything else is fair game.
What about the homeless, the transients, the mentally unbalanced? You can talk your way out of these situations, can’t you? Just make sure you don’t call the Oakland Police Department.
The church, which sits on a small hill just north of downtown Oakland, frequently opens its doors to the homeless, mentally ill and those who struggle with drug addictions. It offers a food pantry, transit cards and a place to nap. But it draws the line at hosting people overnight.
The conversation turned to another aspect of policing: deterring and solving crime. Church leaders said they could prevent crime by forming better relationships with neighborhood residents. Their theory, put simply: Friends won’t steal from friends. But if crime still happened, church members prayed they could make peace between victims and perpetrators directly without police or courts.
Just remember, you can always reason with criminals and the insane when you speak calmly and rationally to them. What could go wrong? Hell, nothing.
The department itself indicates it doesn’t mind conserving its resources.
The Police Department has not responded publicly to the church’s stance. A spokeswoman said Chief Anne E. Kirkpatrick was unavailable.
But Barry Donelan, president of the Oakland police union, said he wasn’t bothered by the church.
“If this particular group doesn’t want to call the police, that’s their position, that’s their view,” Donelan said. “But my members are happy to respond to the tremendous need for police services elsewhere. If they take this view, it makes it so more police can be directed to those who ask for them.” He added that he would “never discourage people from calling police” if they changed their minds.
Let’s just see how this grand Leftist Experiment works out.
Oh wait. If it tanks, you won’t hear anything about that.
Will you?

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Thursday, 6-14-18, with very special guest TARZANA JOE
Featuring Right thinking from a left brain, doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, embracing ubiquitous, sagacious perspicacity and broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Fornicalia from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the Bill Mill in Sacramento, Fornicalia, I continue to proffer my thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to utilize their studio and hijack their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, thanks to my shameless contract — as well as appear on the Sack Heads: Against Tyranny Show every Wednesday night.
I introduced the show by revealing that Charles Krauthammer, a true gentleman whom I’ve listened to and watched for years, issued a statement indicating that he has roughly two weeks to live, due to abdominal cancer.
In the first hour BZ was lucky enough to speak to TARZANA JOE, poet laureate for the Hugh Hewitt Show on the Salem Radio Network, where he reads a pertinent poem every Friday for the haughty Hugh himself. You too can commission Joe to write a personalized poem for any and every occasion according to your poetic needs.
Other than the fact that I called TARZANA JOE “Jersey Joe” two times — a former SHR Media radio host — I somehow managed to not mess up too much more of the interview. Sort of. Boy, am I embarrassed about the screw-up. Sorry, Joe. Heavy sigh.
We learned that the town of Tarzana was named after a fictional character by author Edgar Rice Burroughs who had purchased hundreds of local acres with the proceeds of his writings about John Carter and Tarzan. Joe has actually met the great grandson who sold off the rest of the acreage a few years ago.
For hour two, I delved into the newly-released Inspector General report on the Hillary Clinton email issue. As I indicated, it was less than I expected, more than I expected and more corrupt than I expected. Please listen for those details.
For DISH subscribers: your Hopper has recently been wired to play YouTube videos. You can now toss ol’ BZ onto your massive flatscreen TV and watch him in all of his obese, biased and politically-execrable potty-mouthed goodness. Quarter in a hat.

Aircraft: if it’s digital it can be hacked
Did that title wake you up yet?
From RT.com:
‘Catastrophic disaster’: Aircraft hack only matter of time, US agencies warn
by Benoit Tessier, Reuters
It is “only a matter of time” until a commercial aircraft is hacked, the Department of Homeland Security and other US government agencies have warned. Most planes lack cybersecurity protections to prevent such a hack.
Motherboard obtained internal DHS documents through a Freedom of Information Act request which detail vulnerabilities with commercial aircraft and risk assessments. A number of the documents are still being “withheld pursuant to exemption”of the FOIA.
The release includes a January presentation from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), part of the Department of Energy, outlining the group’s efforts to hack an aircraft via its wifi service as a security test.
If that doesn’t send a chill up your spine as a potential commercial airline passenger, then prepare for another chill. It has already occurred.
From the UKSun.com in November of 2017:
Boeing 757 controls HACKED remotely while on the runway, officials reveal
by Margi Murphy
The passenger jet failed a security test when a group of experts managed to take over its flight controls
Robert Hickey, a US Homeland Security cyber sleuth, managed to take over the commercial passenger aircraft at Atlantic City airport in New Jersey.
The plane was hacked in 2016 but Hickey revealed the chilling details during his speech at the CyberSat Summit this week, Avionics reported.
He said: “We got the aeroplane on September 19, 2016.
“Two days later, I was successful in accomplishing a remote, non-cooperative, penetration.”
Hickey said the details of the hack were classified but they used a combination of radio frequency communications to break in.
But wait. It gets better.
“[Which] means I didn’t have anybody touching the aeroplane, I didn’t have an insider threat.
“I stood off using typical stuff that could get through security and we were able to establish a presence on the systems of the aircraft,” he added.
Hickey said that following testing, experts advised that “it was no big deal”.
But in March 2017 he was shocked to learn that seven airline pilot captains from American Airlines and Delta Air Lines had no idea that their aircraft could be hacked.
From Fox and Friends.
That was theoretical, and on the ground. The following is reality and has already occurred in the air.
Which buttresses what I’ve said for a few years now: if it’s digital, no matter the alleged “security,” it can be hacked. I also say that, in 20, 30, 40 years or so the entire planet is going to rue the day it “went digital.” If it survives, that is.
