Family statement says Cheney died Monday night, Nov. 3, of complications from pneumonia and cardiac/vascular disease, surrounded by his wife Lynne and daughters Liz and Mary. AP and CBS add his decades of heart issues, including a 2012 transplant, preceded today’s news.

...He was a very good SecDef during ODS, but after that he - and his family - completely went off the rails. I can and will sympathize with a family that had lost a husband, father, and grandfather, but that's it.

I remember how much we here at Rantburg supported him 24 years ago.
The Impulse was and still is noble -- to help the afflicted. Unfortunately the Wisdom to know when an action is doomed to failure was lacking, alas.
[ThreadReaderApp] Trump U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan files public response to James Comey's motion to dismiss his indictment for vindictive prosecution.
Exhibit 13 includes bombshell, damning evidence of then-FBI Director Comey's handwritten note--on FBI director letterhead--evidencing Comey's knowledge of--and even participation in--the Russian collusion criminal conspiracy against Trump.

Exhibit 5 gets worse.
James Comey, from his burner gmail with his alias Reinhold Niebuhr, states:
to me
No need. At this point it would shouting into the wind. Some day they will figure it out. And as Jack and Ben point out, my decision will be one a president elect Clinton will be very grateful for (though that wasn't why I did it).

In Exhibit 7, in response to planting a New York Times election-eve hit piece against Trump, then-FBI Director James Comey tells FBI special government employee Daniel Richman:
"Well done my friend. Who knew this would. E so uh fun."

Exhibit 10 shows FBI special government employee Daniel Richman (aka "Michael Garcia") is leaking--as an anonymous source--to New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt on behalf of then-FBI Director James Comey.
Comey testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee he never did this.

It would be well welcomed, to allow a plea bargin if he turned states evidence against names like Obama & The Clintons. Before he hangs himself.🤭

DDM, makes a point, and likely many will agree.
My view is we are being entertained every week with a different "Who Shot JR" episode
As we regularly being treated to a NEW ATTENTION grabbing, and deflecting issue or cause, every few weeks or so.
But! Seldom do we see any Subversive Agenda Leaders, or DC SWAMPER's criminally named, even less seldom arrested, or IF ever brought to trial.
It is like the odds are that NO Fed or State agency will ever actually deal out EQUAL & Impartial Justice, against Inter-circle Elite people, that conducted massive violations of Civil Rights, murders and/or the well documented treasonous COUP activities.
CK, Epstein JFK, RFK, MLK, COVID release, the deadly mandated C-19 Vax, or the Massive Nationwide organized Voter Fraud of 2020.
Just naming a few quick examples of the way too many out there.

[BREITBART] Joining at least two other Democrat-run states, Illinois politicians passed a bill on Friday prohibiting federal immigration agents from arresting illegal aliens near and around state courthouses.
The Illinois bill, sent to anti-Trump Gov. JB Pritzker for signing, not only seeks to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations inside courthouses but establishes a 1,000-foot ''buffer zone'' outside of buildings, Capitol News Illinois reported.
The bill also would allow Illinois residents to bring lawsuits against agents whom they allege violated their constitutional rights, including for due process and unreasonable search and seizures.
''Our communities have been living in fear — fear of being separated from their children, fear of being taken from their homes, fear of simply existing,'' State Sen. Celina Villaneuva, a reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Democrat, told the capitol news service. ''This bill is about giving people a sense of safety, a sense of humanity, and the assurance that their government sees them and will stand up for them.''
However,
women are made to be loved, not understood... one of its top sponsors, Democratic Senate President Don Harmon, is questioning whether it can withstand a court challenge, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported Friday.
''It's not just about the constitutionality of the law, which I think is sound, but it's the reality that the courts are stacked against us,'' Harmon told the wire service. ''The federal government can try to remove it from state courts to federal courts. They can try to substitute the government itself for the individual defendants, but that's not a reason not to try.''
The legislative package was passed in response to the federal immigration enforcement campaign in Illinois and Indiana known as ''Operation Midway Blitz.''
[PJMedia] It's astounding, the things we learn when the money runs out and governments actually have to start prioritizing for a change. As the Schumer Shutdown drags through Week Five with no end in sight, the country's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — aka "food stamps" — ran out of money on Saturday. And given who was taking, it's a miracle that there was any money left at all.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins reported yesterday that earlier this year, "we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused — and two SUED US FOR ASKING!"
That's because we're spending billions on benefits to illegal aliens.
My guess is that the Center for Immigration Studies — which bills itself as "low-immigrant" yet "pro-immigration" — was being a bit ironic with this headline: Illegal Immigrants To Be Hit Hard As SNAP and WIC Benefits Expire.
The organization's 2023 analysis of government data showed that "households headed by illegal immigrants make extensive use of the welfare system, particularly food assistance programs." CIS estimated that 59% of households headed up by an illegal are on one or more welfare programs, whether it's cash, food assistance, Medicaid, or housing.
Read that again. We're giving cash, food, healthcare, and housing to people who aren't even supposed to be here.
Millions of them, in fact. Even though I could have sworn that Democrats insisted up and down that sort of thing never happened. No wonder 21 blue states didn't want Rollins looking at their books.

Back when the first issue of MREs were distributed, there was an offer for a McIlhenny tabasco camo web carriers put out by the company. It fit nicely on the web belt and came with a 'cook book' of recipes in combining various ingredients across the MRE lines. IIRC, the dehydrated peaches, with powder creamer and a crumbled cracker made a OK field expedient cobbler.

That was an eye-opening statistic this a.m. to go with my black coffee.

Actually, I've seen an explanation - for MRE quality - in one of L. E. Modesitt's books. To wit, if MRE were quality, they'd be stolen and sold on black market.

#6 while in Korea, when we went out to the 'field' we were shadowed by a sutler, "Mamason", who provided snacks and food. The Katusas, Korean augmentees to the US Army, would trade their MREs for Korean food. She would then brake them down to recover the contents. Things like the sugar and coffee were highly taxed at the time.

Until you get Ham and Lima Beans or Beef Stew with "frosting" several times in a row, you have no idea about crappy. Ham and MF'ers had zero trade value except for the Pound Cake Roll.
The congealed fat that provided the "frosting" on the beef stew could be handled if you had a 1/4 ton engine running and you could open the can partially and put it on the exhaust manifold or engine block for about two minutes.

Yeah - good ol Gen 1 MREs...Beans n Baby D#cks, Beef Screw, Pork Patties, Chicken a la King (yuck). Gens 2 n 3 improved especially w/the heater. Of course the Marines wasted no time and turned the heaters into mini-WMDs.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
