jmowreader's JournalBeating a moldy dead horse: Hillary ordered to provide ANOTHER email deposition
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/02/hillary-clinton-email-deposition-118800Larry Klayman, America’s favorite vexatious litigant, has filed ANOTHER suit against Hillary’s email server. And hard-right sycophant Senior Judge Royce Lamberth has ordered her to provide a deposition.
This shit needs to end. What is this, the 350th time this crap has been dragged into court?
Watch Vicente Fox's entire presidential announcement here
"A lot of people ask me, 'Vicente, how can you be president? You're a Mexican!' And to those people I have three words: Donald. Fucken. Trump. If that worn-out baseball glove tightly gripping a turd can be president...then amigos, anyone can!"
The SEC tracks short selling, right?
Why do I get the impression that Trump is doing everything in his power to destabilize the stock market because he's up to his mushroom in short positions?

https://www.tmz.com/2020/02/22/daredevil-mad-mike-hughes-dead-dies-rocket-crash-land/You knew this was gonna happen.
Dear friends, it is my sad duty to report that Flat Earther "Mad" Mike Hughes, who gained fame a couple years ago by attempting to fly a steam-powered homemade rocket high enough to prove the earth is flat, tried it again today. This time, he was attempting to fly to 62 miles altitude apparently so he could photograph the absence of curvature. Unfortunately for Mad Mike, his recovery parachute ripped off the rocket shortly after he left the launcher. The parachute's deployment caused an "instability" in the vehicle that made it wave around in the breeze for its several-hundred-foot ascent. It then flipped over and dove straight into the ground near Barstow, Calif., where the event occurred. Mr. Hughes did not survive.
He was 64.
Why does it feel like Trump is on the verge of fleeing the country?
Presidents don't issue as many pardons as Trump just did in the middle of their terms. They just don't. They wait until the end of their terms and pardon a bunch of people just before Christmas.
I have a not-very-slight suspicion that Trump is going to issue one more batch of pardons that'll contain Roger Stone and everyone else he still likes, and then he'll resign and flee to Russia before his legal problems catch up to him.
The most important company in the vinyl record industry burns down
On February 5, 2020, the Apollo Masters facility was gutted by a huge fire that seems to have started in their chemical mixing area.
Apollo Masters is one of two companies in the world (the other is Japan’s MDC) that made the lacquer-coated aluminum discs used to cut record masters. From what I’m reading, 70 to 80 percent of the lacquers used in the music business were made by Apollo...and MDC says they can’t increase their production any.
I suspect that if Apollo reopens it won’t be in California; lacquer is a very environmentally UNfriendly product. The state had grandfathered in the old factory, but they won’t do the same for a new one.

NASCAR: Ryan Newman's injuries not life-threatening following scary Daytona 500 crash

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR driver Ryan Newman was involved in a horrific crash on the final lap of the 2020 Daytona 500.
Newman was wrecked while leading the race and crossed the finish line with his car on its roof, engulfed in flames.
Newman's car flipped, rolled, and was hit on the driver’s side by another car, before it slid across the finish line upside down.
Newman was taken to Halifax Health for treatment. Roughly two hours after the crash, NASCAR read a statement from Roush Fenway Racing that said Newman is in “serious condition, but doctors have indicated his injuries are not life threatening.”

I can just imagine the Chiefs' White House visit
After eating enough cold hamberders to at least look polite, the Chiefs gather around Our Grate President...
"Mr. President, it is now time for the presentation ceremony. Under ordinary circumstances, we would have had an official jersey prepared with your last name and the number 45 on it.
"These are not ordinary circumstances. We received millions of emails and letters from residents of our beautiful state. Let me read one of them: 'Dear Coach Reid, I went out and bought a computer just so I'd be able to send you this...' and that's not the only message we got that said this very thing.
"Our fans and friends all across the state begged us, pleaded with us, to present to you what we are about to present.
"Mr. President, this is a map of Missouri with Kansas City circled in bright red Sharpie, and with a Chiefs logo right where Arrowhead Stadium is. We ask you to study this map and learn from it, so you might be able to learn that, regardless of the name of the city we are in, we don't play football in Kansas."
