Bad hombres??? I just keep seeing Heroic Hombres

Two volunteer rescuers killed in Harvey floodwaters after bringing families to safety-

HOUSTON — On Monday morning, as floodwaters were rising fast in their neighborhood in northeast Houston, three brothers and two friends set off in a small boat to rescue anyone they could find.

In two trips, they brought two families — seven people in total — to safety, then went out a third time.

“Everybody told them to stay, that they had already done their part,” said Stepheny Jacquez, 25, a family member. “But they said, ‘No, we have to go back, there’s a lot of people in danger.’”

On their third trip out, around 3 p.m. Monday, they lost control of their boat in strong currents and drifted toward downed power lines throwing off sparks.

“They all jumped in the water and got electrocuted, and the current took them,” Jacquez said.

Felix Sater's emails look pretty damn damning

“Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Sater wrote. “I will get all of Putins [sic] team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected,” another email said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The deal in Moscow, spearheaded in 2015 while Trump was already running for president, was originally reported by The Washington Post on Sunday.

Total eclipse pics from near Corvallis Oregon

We drove about 30 miles north to get in the totality path. Found a field with about 100 other watchers and enjoyed the show. One of the few times in my life I was truly in awe...
