In response to:
WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee will vote Thursday to establish rules for hearings on impeachment, escalating the panel's investigations of President Donald Trump even as many Democrats remain wary of the effort.
The resolution is a technical step, and the panel would still have to introduce impeachment articles against Trump and win approval from the House to bring charges against Trump. It's unclear if that will ever happen, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged caution on the issue, saying the public still isn't yet supportive of taking those steps.
Even if the House did recommend impeachment charges against the president, the Republican-led Senate is unlikely to convict him and remove him from office.
Still, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler has said that the committee will move forward with impeachment hearings this fall, bolstered by lawmakers on the panel who roundly support moving forward. The vote on Thursday will set rules for those hearings, empowering staff to question witnesses, allowing some evidence to remain private and permitting the president's counsel to respond to testimony.
The committee says that the resolution is similar to procedural votes taken at the beginning of the impeachment investigations into Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.
"The adoption of these additional procedures is the next step in that process and will help ensure our impeachment hearings are informative to Congress and the public, while providing the president with the ability to respond to evidence presented against him," Nadler said in a statement. "We will not allow Trump's continued obstruction to stop us from delivering the truth to the American people."
The committee has also filed two lawsuits against the administration after the White House repeatedly blocked the panel from obtaining documents and testimony.
Pelosi has said she wants to see what happens in court before making any decisions on impeachment. She said Monday evening that she had signed off on the Judiciary vote, and "that's a logical thing for a committee to establish its rules of procedure."
The first hearing under the new impeachment rules would be with Corey Lewandowski on Sept. 17, the panel also announced Monday. Lewandowski was frequently mentioned in former special counsel Robert Mueller's report, which the committee has been investigating. According to Mueller's report, Trump asked Lewandowski to deliver a message to then- Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking him to limit Mueller's probe.
The committee has also invited two other witnesses mentioned in the report, former White House aides Rick Dearborn and Rob Porter. The White House has previously blocked former employees from testifying, but Lewandowski never officially worked for the White House.
The resolution that the committee will consider Thursday would set parameters for the panel's impeachment hearings in an attempt to give lawmakers more powers to investigate the president. It would allow committee lawyers to question witnesses for an additional hour — 30 minutes for each side — beyond the five minutes allowed for committee lawmakers. Evidence would be allowed in private session to protect the confidentiality of sensitive materials, and any full committee or subcommittee hearing could be designated by Nadler as part of the committee's probe into whether to recommend articles of impeachment.
The procedural vote comes as the panel broadens its impeachment probe beyond Mueller's report, which has consumed most of the committee's energy since it was released in April.

Never A Dull Moment In The Blogs.
Chat had toasted English muffins, Dung… oops sorry I meant Dongg make girl laugh, Unfayzed is going with the flow, 1_Spectr is on a ‘Save-The-World’ crusade and missChelli wants to be happy ever after.
On the other side of the Atlantic Lojac failed to update his diary for a few days while Caprikious appears to be the expert on lies and deception, Nice2meetyou informed one and all about their civil rights, Robrt told us what he observed while walking in the park, BadlyDrawn is exercising his right arm to bear, Miclee warns us of the impending doom, Itchy is in disagreement, and one can only hope that Chat does not go needling everybody once he’s found what he was looking for in the haystack.
Back in England
Hoober announced his intentions not to announce anything, Oldie is searching for a lost love, Willy did a survey on suicides, Faveer declared his availability to all girls, Agentbob brought us a badly drawnwritten SciFi screenplay – or so he wants us to believe; methinks it is a coded message, Faveer tried to get a foothold in the local drug trade while a confused Batman feels out of place.
Willy stated a fact about ASSumptions, Moelle has a pain in the knee where it is not fatty, Yonic is confusing reality with a dream, Daniela explains the perception of perfection and Pedro entertained us with two very interesting polls. All these on page one, free of politics, religion, or death notices… and then we still have Molly, Mercedes, Mischief, LucyMaud, Proc, Bnaugty, and a few others to make things more interesting. On top of all that, we still have Redex, Jenny, GoldenGloss, VK and a few others in reserve.
Then some people still want to complain that there is nothing to read in the blogs while I’m sulking because somebody was kicked in the nuts. Hmm, but that is politics, isn’t it?
True! Where is Kalpataru?

Statement
On the morning of Saturday 7th September 2019, I arose at approximately 05:30. I prepared and ate breakfast, after which I attended to several domestic matters which needed my attention. At approximately 08:00. I left my residence at ..........ADDRESS REMOVED......... and drove directly to Tesco, Wath-Upon-Dearne to do my weekly shopping. The selection of avocados was particularly disappointing. On completion of my shopping, at approximately 09:30. I called at the on site fuel pumps to replenish my vehicle’s fuel tank, where I also purchased ten small cigars. I then proceeded directly home, arriving at approximately 10:00. Apart from taking a bag of rubbish out to the bin, at some time between 16:30 and 17:00, I remained inside for the rest of the day. I did nothing of significance for the remainder of the evening and retired to my bed at approximately 22:30, where I remained until approximately 05:30 the following morning. I do not possess a pair of binoculars, and neither have I possessed any since January 2015.
Sulking Lovers
Sulking is a nurtured anger combined with a refusal to discuss the cause of that anger. When we sulk we need our partners to understand and to refrain from doing anything to get us out of it. 
(We're not talking about chronic sulkers today and I'm concentrating on sulks where the anger was not caused by the partner but by an external source, maybe work-related, and as such not aimed at the partner. Although the sulker needs time to work out the anger alone, he/she may not need or want to be alone.)
Do you get uptight or worried when your partner goes into a sulk? Don't. You should feel honored when at the receiving end of a sulk. It means that your partner trusts you enough to believe that you understand his or her unspoken hurt without having to explain it. That is one of the gifts of love.
Sulking can be traced back to our earliest childhoods; the silent understanding. In the womb, we never had to explain. Our every need was catered for and this continued well into our first few carefree years. We didn’t have to ask; caring and loving grown-ups guessed what we needed. They found the reasons for our discomforts while we were unable to put it to words.
That is probably why even the most eloquent among us may prefer not to spell things out when our partners fail to understand us properly. Only when we don’t have to explain do we feel certain that we are properly understood and only then do we believe that our partners fully understand us.
We may be adults living in an adult world but deep inside we remain infants; needing our partners to be our parents. We need them to correctly guess what is troubling us, as our parents did when we were babies; the time when our concepts of love were first formed.
We do our sulking lovers the greatest possible favor when we are able to handle their tantrums as we would handle those of an infant.
Now don't sulk; here is a banana for you.

In the news...
Every day, there's at least one Trump 'something' the media finds important to post about the president. There are way too many to remember all of them, but some highlights of the past few weeks:
Buying Greenland.
King of Israel.
Wanting to be allowed more than 2 terms.
Giving 'made up awards' to himself.
Having distanced himself from anything related to Jeffery Epstein for more than a decade, he told the media they should be looking at Clinton.
Ending the week with the best one I've heard all year...
Trump suggested we fire nuclear weapons at hurricanes to stop them hitting America.

No Such Thing as a Good Dog
People often tell me how lucky I am to have such a good dog but they’re wrong; there is no luck involved. My dog’s good temperament is the product of years of work. And if more people understood this, more people would have had ‘good’ dogs.
I’ve put a lot of effort into exposing him to other dogs, kids, loud motorcycles, noisy power tools, popping fireworks, loud music, and many other disturbances when he was still a puppy; and took him for regular rides in my car. I allowed him to see, hear, smell and feel these influences at his own terms and it paid off. He is comfortable with such disturbances around him and he loves kids.
It is easy to train a puppy. He responds to his name, you give him a treat. He comes when you call him, you give him a treat. He sits when he’s told, you give them a treat. And after a few months, you have a dog that knows simple commands. But this is when many fall off the bus. You have to keep it up as your dog matures. You have to keep your dog stimulated and it also helps him to keep up with you as circumstances change. A dog's training never stops.
A dog needs plenty of love and attention. When given enough of that, he will bend sideways trying to please you. He will protect you with his life… or lose it in an effort to do so.
Regular exercise is another must for your dog. A restless dog is often a sign of not enough exercising. When the weather allows it, I walk instead of driving the 2 km to the supermarket. He knows that he may not go into the shopping center but he also knows where to wait for me. That took a bit of training but eventually, he did learn to wait until I returned. He understands that the word ‘wait’ means that I’ll come back for him.
So, a ‘good’ dog is not the result of some lucky genetic draw; a dog requires a good owner and a lot of work to make him a ‘good’ dog.
So have you taken your dog for his walky, walky today?

Keeping It Up
It is easy to start something new. Anybody can become an entrepreneur, singer, writer, designer, illustrator or whatever. But few can keep it going. 
Many people start businesses but they don’t exist after a year or two. It appears that people put too much emphasis on starting something and do not always know how to keep it going. Look at our aspirant writers; they start off at breakneck speed; writing for days, weeks or even months. Then, suddenly they drop everything to do something else and blame it to a lack of inspiration but that is not it. The truth is they don’t know what to do next.
Most of our stress is born from the uncertainty of the future. What will happen tomorrow, next week, next month, next year? Friends and family can spend the entire day to convince you that the world will not end tomorrow but you won’t listen to a single word if you are in the wrong frame of mind. The answer is to concentrate on the present. Think about what to do next. Not next as in the next few months but next such as in immediately now. Forget about the past and disregard the future. Make the best of NOW! So okay, maybe the world will end tomorrow but don’t waste your time on shit you cannot control.
Don’t set goals that you cannot achieve on your own. You don’t want other people to control your destiny. It is your life; drive it yourself. Don’t give the wheel to somebody else. Focus on the things you can control. Be flexible. Shift the goalposts if you must. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Keep on experimenting and adjusting. If it does not work you can always fall back to the old ways. The secret is to keep going, never to let up.
Now make your day worth the while.
