    We shall see.  Somehow I think the country will get sick of these loonies.

    On a different note I hopped and hobbled my transiently bad leg around a field yesterday.  I jumped 3 quail at a bad angle but managed just some tail feathers from one that I should have hit.   It was great to be outside though.

    Just imagine what kind of reaction this would get if this video showed  people plotting against a Hillary Clinton Inaugural Ball.

    The double standard makes me concerned for our country. These pussies should be locked up.  Now.

    Totally agree, in fact I think they are consolidating Trumps base. Anyone that had misgivings about voting for Trump is losing those second doubts with each antic.

    Being outside is always a good thing.

    I was coming to RIco to post this and was happy to see it got here already.

    This one has a doubled edged take now. If  anything happens the FBI is screwed for not stopping it. I expect these guys are being talked to right now in a very beige room with harsh lighting.

    Nothing succeeds like pre exposing failure in the world famous Intelligence Community. Operation Pre CYA is underway with a vengeance.

    The fun part will be to trace the Federal taxpayer money Obama funneled to these groups. That should not be too hard to come by, if we had reporters instead of a media.

    Mr O’Keefe is a treasure. I hope he has protection.

    They should, O’Keefe took it to the FBI so I guess it’s a question of whether any laws were broken todate. Discussing disruptive activities is not the same as doing them, but then again, this whole terrorist stuff puts a completely different wrinkle on it all.

    I am not so sure.  From what I can tell about half the country are these loonies.

    My youngest and I went hunting on Saturday, brought home 18 quail, just one of those days when it all came together. It was a beautiful day. I’ll be back in the field week after next. They’re having an English Pheasant throw in the property adjacent to where we are hunting so hopefully we’ll get some of the “spill over”.

    Here’s a pic of the last hunt just after Thanksgiving, 15 quail, two chuckers, one pheasant. This was the first hunt for the father and son in the picture. They had a blast (so to speak).

    You and I should try to coordinate a Ricochet Bird Hunt next year with some of the other members. If you time it right you can hit Denver on Thursday, pull down a hockey game on Friday, hunt on Saturday, and do football on Sunday, fly out Monday.

    What a delightful multi-generation photo!

    I’d love to hang w you sometime Jim.

    It is at the beginning of this post. However it is called “Project Veritas” and you can subscribe to their videos on numerous different subjects.

    Depends on who is plotting.  When you are on the Left it is just free speech.

    It just cracks me up that they met at Comet Pizza. Although if I suspected a member of my cell was a mole, that’s where I’d suggest we meet, so you could pass the whole thing off as a joke.

    I find it depressing that this may the more important takeaway from this important work.

    Conspiracy to commit terrorism, if any one of them committed an overt act to further the crime.  Just talking in bars isn’t a crime, thank goodness.

    EDITL:  Let me walk that back a bit.  Making terroristic threats may be a crime in and of itself.  Not sure this would count.

    Nah.  These are the semi-extreme left – probably less than 10 percent.  O’Keefe probably doesn’t have access to the truly extreme left.

    Conspiracy, with an action in furtherance thereof, that is he went and scouted the building to determine if the actions were feasible and if they could escape.

    At least he said he did.  I think O’Keefe got punked.  He’s used the same m.o. a few too many times.  Not surprising that someone no the left actually has more than two brain cells speaking to each other and was watching for him, or someone like him.  Or the FBI.

    I’m guessing it would easily be proved or disproved by video surveillance from the press club building.

    While watching the video you posted, I lost the link to Ricochet and Windows had to recover – that’s a first. I have heard O’Keefe and others within the covert and law enforcement community speak on talk radio when I am driving around for work – and most of the time I have to drag my jaw off the floor just to get out of the car.  Everything that O’Keefe and others have talked about has been verified. Yes, I am thankful for these guys – that take great personal risk, but this is just the beginning – they’ve been warning about it for awhile that these groups are everywhere, and they are cowards. I am glad they are exposing this ugliness.  I will have rosary in hand on Inauguration day. So much for all the “Love Trumps Hate” signs at rallies…..

    I haven’t confirmed this, but I was listening to Chris Plante this morning and he said the FBI determined this is not a federal matter. Planning terrorist activities to disrupt inauguration events is not a federal matter??

    I believe his videos did have an effect on voters.  Just because politicized DOJ ignored them doesn’t mean we ignored them, too.
