Hillary, Trump, and War with Russia: The Goddamdest Stupid Idea I Have Ever Heard, … …
… … and I Have Lived in Washington
By Fred Reed
August 13, 2016

*** begin quote ***

A good reason to vote for Trump, a very good reason whatever his other intentions, is that he does not want a war with Russia. Hillary and her elite ventriloquists threaten just that.  Note the anti-Russian hysteria coming from her and her remoras.

*** and ***

Letting dilettantes, grifters, con men, pasty Neocons, bottle-blonde ruins, and corporations decide on war is insane. We have pseudo-masculine dwarves playing with things they do not understand. So far as I am aware, none of these fern-bar Clausewitz’s has worn boots, been in a war, seen a war, or faces any chance of being in a war started by themselves. They brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, and Isis, and can’t win wars against goatherds with AKs. They are going to fight…Russia?

*** end quote ***

For all Trump’s flaws — not the least of which is that he’s a Northeastern Rockefeller republican who might actually be a Democratic operative, at least he doesn’t seem to want to start yet another war.

Amazing all the chicken hawks that we have in the “District of Corruption”!

Those “goat herders with Aks” have a pretty good track record of draining the blood and treasure of Empires for decades. 

Argh!

New Jersey Among Most Lax On Drunk Driving In Nation, Analysis Says – South Brunswick, NJ Patch

Not in my opinion, I know several folks who have been snagged.

And as a little L libertarian, unless you cause damage or injury, many of these “arrests / convictions” are about raising revenue; not protecting the public.

POLITICAL: What happens to these companies if Trump wins?

Tech Companies Apple, Twitter, Google, and Instagram Collude to Defeat Trump
There is no such thing as Pro-Trump free speech as Clinton corporate allies serve up a carefully curated view of the campaign
By Liz Crokin • 08/12/16 8:30am

*** begin quote ***

Apple isn’t the only corporation doing Clinton’s bidding. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Clinton made a deal with Google and that the tech giant is “directly engaged” in her campaign. It’s been widely reported Clinton hired Eric Schmidt—chairman of Alphabet, the parent company of Google—to set up a tech company called The Groundwork. Assange claims this was to ensure Clinton had the “engineering talent to win the election.” He also pointed out that many members of Clinton’s staff have worked for Google, and some of her former employees now work at Google.

*** end quote ***

For shame, Google, for shame!

I hope people remember this and “do no evil”.

Argh!

GUNS: Gun Prohibition will be done like Drug Prohibition

Indeed. Any constitutional scholars out there who have a different point of view?

I am NOT  “constitutional scholar”; nor do I play one on TV.

That being said … … …

Unfortunately, the ATF makes the diktats that take guns away. There was a Constitutional Amendment to have alcohol prohibition. BUT NONE was required to have drug prohibition. Why should guns be any different than drugs?

The only defense is for juries to nullify on non-violent drug and gun cases. That’s what ended alcohol prohibition.

Clinton’s top aide Huma CLEARED of ethics breaches – despite emails revealing how she took orders to open its doors to Foundation donors

  • Rudolph Giuliani said the emails should form the basis of a RICO investigation – the same legislation he used against the Mafia

In 2010, it was discovered that Chagoury had been added to the U.S. No-Fly terror list and barred from boarding a private jet in New Jersey. He was able to obtain a ‘waiver’ to fly, and was later removed from the list and received a written apology from the U.S. government.

Chagoury pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative in 2009 and has contributed between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.

How can this be possible?

Why isn’t everyone up in arms about this fraud?

RANT: The Olympics in the shadow of the poor

The Olympics: An Olympic-Sized Scam
By Jack Perry
August 11, 2016

*** begin quote ***

So, no, I’m not watching the Olympics. And I don’t care about them. The world should be embarrassed by them. Especially holding them in a city with an astonishing poverty problem. So, stop lecturing. Haven’t you guys got another music video you can make millions off of and donate that money to a charity where the CEO makes a $500,000 per year salary? Didn’t think I knew about the “compassion scam”, did you? Oh, yes, I know what you liberals pay yourselves to guilt us into giving you money to “help” people you exploit the very real suffering of. I won’t name names, but there are several charities that are supposed to help the poor but help themselves even more as far as salaries go. Who do you think you are? The Pentagon?

*** end quote ***

What a shame. For TV ratings and “national pride”?

It’s an idea who’s time has past.

There is no peace during the “games”. No honesty — see doping and bribery. And, no “pride” in our pros beating their pros.

Or, how you can explain to the poor boy, who was in the opening parade, can’t get a ticket.

Or to the poor who see the opulence while they live in squalor.

Nothing to See Here: Mainstream Media Dismisses Concerns About Hillary Clinton’s Health Issues
By Daisy Luther
The Organic Prepper
August 9, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Regardless of the coverup, we do have the right to know the truth about Hillary Clinton’s health, but truth and HRC never seem to be close companions. Not only is the campaign itself covering for her, but the mainstream media is as well. Aside from a few influential media outlets like Drudge Report, Zero Hedge, and Breitbart, you are only hearing this from bloggers who are screaming it from the rafters.

*** end quote ***

This could make Kaine the President!

“We, The Sheeple” have a right to know about her health, BEFORE the election.

TECHNOLOGY: A cardboard small house

Tuesday, August 9, 2016

Published on Feb 28, 2016
A special little house, made out of cardboard. Sustainably built to last. And suit all your needs.

Most impressive. Cheap, small, and apparently long lasting.

Could solve a lot of “housing issues”.

Better than a shanty or a mcmansion!

imho.

FUN: Sir Paul @ Metlife

Monday, August 8, 2016

Mccartney

AFTER ACTION REPORT

Concert scheduled for 8PM. Traffic getting in SOOoo bad, I assume Sir Paul delayed until 8:30. (Lot of complaints about the traffic, patterns, and drop off points.

Made it at 8:15PM.

Great seats! (Anna Marie Henno is a great seat picker.)

They make you always go up 35+ rows instead of down 2 to the floor level concessions. Argh!

Traffic from shore disaster. 1015 traffic was late saying that 33 was closed. GSP, 9, and 34 were all mess. Argh.

And despite $11 beer and $10 wine, everyone was having a great time.

I think that Metlife stadium bureaucrats need to reexamine their traffic planning.

  • Taxis and limos had to drop in the K lot 15 minute walk from the stadium.
     
  • Buses were only a few step closer.
     
  • Tailgaters had the close in lots “occupied” with each taking several spots.
  • Seems like taking the train in is the best strategy with the least walking.

TECHNOLOGY: I just refuse to buy anything that’s “locked”

Monday, August 8, 2016

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/08/drm-you-have-right-know-what-youre-buying

AUGUST 5, 2016 | BY CORY DOCTOROW
DRM: You have the right to know what you’re buying!

*** begin quote ***

Today, the EFF and a coalition of organizations and individuals asked the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to explore fair labeling rules that would require retailers to warn you when the products you buy come locked down by DRM (“Digital Rights Management” or “Digital Restrictions Management”). 

*** end quote ***

Clearly, it’s a “devil’s bargain” to buy anything that has “DRM” on it.

At the very least, this has to be disclosed well in advance of the purchase of “crippled wares”.

Argh!
