It will not go down in a tremendous bang for all to see. It doesnt work that way. It will be well over and done before the world is cognizant. I'm good with that.

I dont expect POTUS pick to be named in any way before he announces, but here goes:
Matt Schlapp: Brett Kavanaugh Would Be a ‘Bold, Brilliant Supreme Court Justice’
Schlapp wrote, “Too many times, conservatives have been burned by Supreme Court nominees who lack a judicial record that demonstrates their approach.” In contrast, the ACU chairman contended Kavanaugh has consistently applied a robust originalist approach to his court proceedings.
“Over his 12 years on the D.C. Circuit, Judge Kavanaugh has consistently, boldly, and fearlessly applied textualism and originalism to a striking range of legal issues,” Schlapp contended. “Even more impressive is that, during the past decade, the Supreme Court has adopted Kavanaugh’s position an astonishing 11 times.”

Confusion as China ports delay U.S. cargoes, disrupting trade
-
Some major Chinese ports delayed clearing goods from the United States on Friday, four sources said, potentially disrupting imports worth billions of dollars as the world's top two economies head toward an outright trade war.
News of the hold-ups came as Washington imposed tariffs on $34 billion of Chinese imports from 0401 GMT on Friday.
Beijing had said it would retaliate with punitive measures on U.S. products worth a similar amount, including soybeans, pork and cotton, but it had not officially confirmed on Friday that they had taken effect.

EU Steps In to Help Iran Foil US Sanctions
Iran is receiving unexpected help in its efforts to crawl out from underneath tough sanctions stemming from the United States' decision to pull out of the Iran deal.
Both the European Union and the British government have taken the first steps. Meeting in Strasbourg on Thursday, the European parliament voted to give the European Investment Bank (EIB) permission to conduct financial services with Iran for the first time.
Financial experts say this will easily open the door to the EIB — conducting full-scale operations in Iran and making significant loans to Iranian businesses from its estimated balance of $500 billion.

Kethledge gets 11th hour push as potential consensus pick for Supreme Court
Boosters for the Michigan-based judge are portraying him as eminently confirmable.
As Donald Trump moves to finalize his Supreme Court pick, Judge Raymond Kethledge is getting a behind-the-scenes push portraying him as the consensus choice of conservatives.
Former aides and supporters of Kethledge, a Michigan resident who moves outside Washington circles and is considered the least known of the leading contenders, are quietly circulating positive information about the judge’s personal life, political profile and reassuring record on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. The tacit message: If Brett Kavanaugh is a well-connected D.C. insider, and Amy Barrett is a grass-roots favorite but lacks experience, Kethledge is a down-to-earth Michigander who checks all the boxes for conservatives.

What is Devin Nunes up to? House Trump-Russia probe expands as Intel chair focuses on informants
Devin Nunes is up to something. The House Intelligence Committee chairman has been writing letters lately, asking that two other House chairman — Bob Goodlatte of the Judiciary Committee and Trey Gowdy of the Oversight Committee — pick up parts of the Trump-Russia investigation that Nunes started. It's as if Nunes, who shook loose some of the key publicly-known facts in the probe, is having a grand going-out-of-business sale. But that's clearly not the case. So what, in fact, is going on?

Mueller’s Powers Could Be Decided by Trump Supreme Court Choice
Donald Trump’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court could cast a deciding vote on constitutional challenges arising from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, and Democrats say that creates a potential conflict of interest that should be resolved.
The court may be asked to decide whether the president can be subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury if he refuses to comply with Mueller’s long-standing interview request, or resolve other constitutional matters stemming from the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Memos detail FBI’s ‘Hurry the F up pressure’ to probe Trump campaign
Memos the FBI is now producing to the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general and multiple Senate and House committees offer what sources involved in the production, review or investigation describe to me as "damning" or "troubling" evidence.
They show Strzok and his counterintelligence team rushing in the fall of 2016 to find "derogatory" information from informants, or a "pretext" to accelerate the probe and get a surveillance warrant on figures tied to the future president.
One of those figures was Carter Page, an academic and an energy consultant from New York; he was briefly a volunteer foreign policy adviser for the GOP nominee's campaign and visited Moscow the summer before the election.
