Scott's relatives said he didn't have a gun, but "all the credible evidence" led to the conclusion that Scott was armed, Murray said. He said Scott's DNA was on the grip of a gun found at the scene.

In other news, the Walter Scott shooting case (no relation to Keith I believe) is in the hands of a South Carolina jury today.  This was the one where video showed W. Scott being shot in the back after a possible struggle with a taser.

All of these police related shooting cases are different but one thing they have in common is a rush to judgement.  

This was similar to the sudden, similarly unexplained (other than "tabulation error," well, doh) change in a couple of counties in Wisconsin last week, after embarrassing reveal of ridiculously bad math for more voters for president than overall -- which changed its margin for Trump to 0.7 percent.

And Michigan has made some minimal changes but remains at a margin for Trump of only 0.2 percent.

I authored things before Donald Trump and I thought way back then they were great. Nothing is changing for me unless someone breaks my door down for authoring my own pages.

"Stewart described the "information laundering" as the progressive surfacing of news--fake, or otherwise--from unverified sources into the mainstream. Because second-hand reporting is so common, he said, and is often done without serious vetting of sources, even relatively reputable news organizations will report on something that a blog or platform of unknown credibility has written. While these sites may provide attribution originally, another publication may omit the original source of the news in their reporting of the report. "That piece of information [on where the news came from] has now been laundered," Stewart explained--and the original news, whether or not its source was credible, has now gained more credibility, especially if it was picked up by outlets known for their high standards. This process was recently highlighted and dissected by The New York Times in a case study of how a falsity in a single tweet became viral news in a day."

My wife drove me to the office on her way to school, which proved a mistake because the internet went down in our building while I was in the midst of transmitting a proposal to my partner in Honolulu, so I had to catch a cab back home to finish the job. I've stayed home for the rest of the day, and just finished watching Hawaii beat USC in the first round of this year's NCAA Women's Volleyball Tournament.

When The Spouse returns home in a few minutes, we're going to go out to an early dinner with Younger Daughter. She has finals this coming week, so she'll be hitting the books all weekend. She had only one more semester until graduation, but she now wants to get her certificate in secondary education so she can become a teacher like her mother, and that's another year in school.

Let me make the question more topical so you have no excuse to dodge. You assert that Kellogg is bad because they are jeopardizing their bottom line and stock prices in this case. Would you consider  Kellogg good,bad or ugly for offshoring jobs, even though not doing so would jeopardize their bottom line and stock prices?

Please show your work.

When Kellogg does that let me know and I'll answer re Kellogg.

In the meantime, what Kellogg is doing was not necessary and is just pure politics. So it is a needless action harming everyone just to make a few people feel oh so good that they have struck back at the evileeee Trump by attacking something that is connected to his staff and hated by the alt-Left and the Left in general.

The public in general won't run out and buy a Kellogg product they don't like or need because of this so there is no net gain of market share. And some on the Right will just stop buying Kellogg products. Plus there is a huge loss of good will that will linger for years.

Why? Because the whole thing has now exploded:

The company's closely-associated foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, has provided, at a minimum, $930,000 in financial support to the anti-white hate organization operated by globalist America-hater George Soros. That could certainly make a cereal less appetizing. According to Breitbart, the evidence appears on the Kellogg Foundation's website and includes a June 1st, 2016 grant to the "International Development Exchange," which processes donations for the racist BLM agitators.

That doesn't help them sell anything.

Off shoring should always be discouraged even though it probably isn't illegal. It can be argued that to save the corporation part of it must be broken off and sent to a place where a profit can be made. As noted above that is not the case of Kellogg.

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has resigned after suffering a heavy defeat in a referendum. The No vote was supported by populist parties, and the referendum was regarded as a barometer of anti-establishment sentiment in Europe.

Opposition leader Matteo Salvini, of the anti-immigrant Northern League, called the referendum a "victory of the people against the strong powers of three-quarters of the world."

The result of this referendum is a striking victory for this country's many opposition parties - led in this campaign by the populist Five Star Movement. Five Star's immediate goal now will be victory in the next general election - and a rethink of Italy's relationship with the European Union.

The referendum comes in the wake of the Brexit vote in the UK in June, and coincides with the rise of the anti-immigrant Front National in France and populist parties elsewhere. It also comes less than a month after the election of Donald Trump in the United States.

The fire broke out at about 11:00 p.m. PST Friday night during a concert / party / rave that was being held at the site, and it quickly blocked the warehouse's only exit, effectively trapping guests inside as it quickly swept through the building.

This weekend's toll now surpasses that of the tragic Oakland Hills firestorm of October 1991, which killed 25, making this perhaps the single deadliest fire in city history and possibly modern California history, excluding the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire which killed over 3,000.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the confirmed victims and the missing. Given that only 30% of the warehouse ruins has been searched thus far, the number of dead is expected to rise.
