1. As a NC resident, I get the #Florence is a big deal. But still I think the media has been hyperbolic and dishonest in its reporting on anticipated effects on outlying areas. I have a friend who's convinced our area would have 80mph winds and 20 inches of rain by 2 am this a.m.
2. So convinced, he packed up his family and drove to Tulsa OK to wait out the storm, posting on FB during the trip on how bad it was going to be in my area.
Here is the current hourly forecast:
3. We had worse sustained winds in SoCal when the Santa Ana's came through. The rainfall forecast in my area is a couple inches per day. My friend evacuated to Tornado Alley for this. The media needs to cut the ratings game and be accurate with it's reporting. It's ridiculous.

1. I have to say that I have some sympathy for Christine Blasey Ford. I can't imagine the emotional scars inflicted on her by the debauchery she was immersed in during her formative teen years at Holton-Arms Academy. archive.is/vXwjV
2. The effects of early promiscuity on women have been well studied.
1.I was taking some tech geek professors to LAX after they had made a presentation to the Los Angeles JDIG on some new software they had developed. On the way, one of them got a call from his wife that the first plane had hit the tower.
2. We turned on the radio and listened as the second plane hit. I dropped them off at LAX and raced back to the office, only to have to return to pick them up and check them back into the hotel when all the planes were grounded.
3. That being done, we began a six week marathon of digging into cell phones, identifying associates and contacts and conspirators, passing the information on as leads for the JTTF to follow up on.
1. Before I retired, the FBI was host agency to the Joint Drug Intelligence Group, under the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program. We supported drug investigations in the 7 counties surrounding Los Angeles.
2. We also crunched the information from all the investigations in that area to identify associates and criminal organizations. We had a world class telephone toll analysis team that had been very successful in identifying individuals involved with the Sinaloa Cartel
3. as well as violent gangs such as MS13 and Crips. Recently, when I was working with a local LEA, I reached out to the LAJDIG for some Intel, only to find they were now considered a Fusion Center, and they were no longer conducting the ground breaking case support and analysis
1. The whole idea of the FBI placing a mole inside the Trump campaign infuriates me. It goes against everything laid out to Federal investigators in the DOJ investigative guidelines in dealing with public political figures.
2. The DOJ guidelines rightfully contained special directions in dealing with allegations against political figures, particularly to ensure that politicians and their supporters could not use the justice system to attack and undermined their opponents.
3. The first limitation was that we had 90 days verify the validity of the complaint. And we could not use intrusive methods to achieve that verification. In other words, no search warrants, no wiretaps, no undercover operations. We could conduct interviews and subpoena records.
1. Some observations regarding the hacking of @SharylAttkisson's computer in late 2012. She has just confirmed that forensics shows that the hack originated from the FBI.
2. The Benghazi attack commenced on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2012. The hack on Attkisson's computer occurred in the late 2012 while she was investigating the Benghazi attack. FBI Deputy Director McCabe and ASAC Strzok both had leadership roles in the FBI investigation.
3. Also in 2012, SA Robyn Gritz, worked under a McCabe, received a negative Personnel review from McCabe, allegedly with no basis in reality.
