Untangling Pileup of Miscues in Giants’ Loss

Sometimes football can seem so simple: Throw the ball, catch the ball, kick the ball.

Sorry, it’s Eli’s and Couglin’s loss.

Either could have locked up the win.

Argh!

LIBERTY: The Separation of Education and State

Poll Results: When Should Schools Open?
Because Labor Day was a bit late this year, some schools, including South Brunswick, opted to open before the holiday.

Frankly, the Government should not be involved in education at all. Hence the discussion of the terms and conditions of schools and “education” would not be a matter of public concern; it would be between the privately run school and the parents or guardians. 

“We, The Sheeple” have accepted the Progressives contention that “school is too important to be left to parents”. Remember that the Prussian model of education that was brought to the US from Germany had three goals: cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite. Note that today’s elite NEVER send their children to public schools. With Jimmy Carter as the notable exception.

It will admittedly take decades to unravel this immoral, ineffective, and inefficient system that has developed over the last 70 years or so. But that doesn’t mean we should shirk away from the hard task of rescuing the children from the slavery of Gooferment propaganda and the tyranny of low expectations.

I’ll have to find or recreate my 40 year proposal that I created for the Hands Across New Jersey tax revolt group in the 80’s. If I could have “sold” that plan then, we’d be five years from a truly free market in education.

Argh!

HARDWARE: In praise of Chromebooks and Chromeboxes

Wednesday, September 16, 2015

From FACEBOOK

{Privacy Invoked} #1 · Seaside Heights, NJ · 

Ok Facebook world. My laptop died but it is IMPERATIVE that I have a computer, I’m in Grad school. Is a Chromebook good enough for writing papers, printing out papers coupons and the like and surging the web? I’ll b using a flash drive or google docs too. Help!?!

# – # – #

I have several. I use them for most computing chores. Bought one for {Privacy Invoked} as a gift to replace her old windoze box. She loves it.

  • As long as you use the cloud and the inet, it’s perfect for light weight computing use.
     
  • Cheap. I’ve seen them as low as 199. 
     
  • By using the cloud, you’re forced to keep your data backed up.
     
  • Should you lose it, destroy it, or have it stolen, it’s trivial to get a new one and not miss a beat.
     
  • Also no malware can infect you.

# – # – #

{Privacy Invoked} #2

We have chrome books, Windows desktop and MacBooks. All are good. But, you can only save to the cloud on a chromebook. So, if internet access is interrupted, you can’t get to your files. Also, it’s difficult to print from the chromebooks. I would suggest a Windows or Apple machine.

# – # – #

FJohn Reinke

You can add local storage via usbdrive or and sd card.

Also, many of the “apps” have an offline capability. 

I use google cloud printing capability even on my mac and windoze machines for universal printing (i.e., from anywhere to Virginia, Kendall Park, or Staples). 

Should not be a problem. Sign up for my “platinum support” plan and I can help you. The “gold” plan you get {Privacy Invoked}; “silver” {Privacy Invoked}; “bronze” {Privacy Invoked}; or “lead” {Privacy Invoked}. Laugh! 

Seriously, chromebooks are the way to go for lightweight computing. And, most smartphones allow you to tether them for universal inet access. 

I have Optimum at 51F and that gives me access to Optimum wifi. Most inet service providers have that capability. McDonalds, Starbucks, and Panera have free wifi too. 

I like chromebooks for their utility and no required complete refreshes / reinstalls every so often as windoze and mac get “crud build up”.

Lot positive to be said for the Chromebook / Chromebox. I usually leave one in 51F for {Privacy Invoked} to use when we’re there.

# – # – # – # – # 

So let’s sum it up: cheap; simple; and worry free.

I laughed when some clowns hijacked a truck of about 1,200 MacBook Airs destined for a school worth more than a million bucks.

This revealed the waste at Gooferment Skrules that the taxpayers are paying for.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Case against Temple physics professor after making evidence error

America drops sale-of-secrets-to-China case against Temple physics professor after making embarrassing – and crucial – evidence error

  • Dr Xi Xiaoxing had been accused of sharing sensitive American-made technology with China
  • The FBI said he had sent details of a secret sophisticated device known as a ‘pocket heater’ to Chinese scientists
  • The federal agents claimed they had the blueprints for the heater that Dr Xi had passed on as a ‘spy’
  • It now turns out the blueprints weren’t for the pocket heater at all
  • All charges against Dr Xi have been dropped –  four months after he was led away in handcuffs, his career on the brink of ruin   
  • On Friday he lashed out at the FBI for putting his family through hell for no reason whatsoever, saying: This is not a joke. This is not a game’

An American scientist who was accused of being a spy for China has had all the charges against him dropped after the FBI admitted it had made a massive mistake in arresting him in the first place.

Federal agents had claimed they had evidence that Dr Xi Xiaoxing sent the secret blueprints for a sophisticated U.S. device called a ‘pocket heater’ to Chinese scientists.

But months after the physics professor was led away in handcuffs from Temple University, where he works, the FBI admitted the blueprints they found were not for the heater at all – but for a totally innocuous gadget.

On Friday night, Dr Xi, 57, said in a phone interview reported in the New York Times: ‘I don’t expect them to understand everything I do. But the fact that they don’t consult with experts and then charge me? Put my family through all this? Damage my reputation? They shouldn’t do this. This is not a joke. This is not a game.’ 

*** end quote ***

Maybe the agents have been listening to the Donald and his anti-Chinese rhetoric?

In actuality, the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. And here’s an example.

Black Eye for the FBI.

Guess they have to go back to setting up fools for charges.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Florida Cops Arrest of DUI Lawyer

Florida Cops Unable to Turn Off New 360 Degree PINAC Cam During Arrest of Fair DUI Lawyer
Carlos Miller  

*** begin quote ***

Ever since PINAC’s Jeff Gray rode through a DUI checkpoint earlier this year with his drivers license hanging out the window in a Ziploc bag – along with a Fair DUI flyer from South Florida attorney Warren Redlich – the flyers have generated tons of media coverage as well as threats of arrests from tough-talking sheriffs.
But it was only until last month that the flyer got him arrested.

And we were there to capture that arrest with several cameras, including a new 360 degree camera we are now selling that was attached to the dashboard of my car, the PINACmobile, which he was driving.

Police tried their best to turn the camera off, but were unable to do so as you can see in the video below.

*** end quote ***

They’re not going to react well to having their “criminal activities” disrupted.

“Inventory” the car, my <synonym for donkey>; that was a warrantless search.

And, how many “deputies” were deployed at the DUI checkpoint and who’s paying for their time.

Argh!

INTERESTING: “Direct Care” delivers staggering cost-effective results

Capitalism vs. American Health Care
7th September 2015
Tom Woods

For episode 481 of my show I talked to Dr. Josh Umbehr, whose practice in Wichita, Kansas, will knock your socks off, for reasons you’ll see below. The cost savings he and his patients enjoy because they stay away from insurance and government are absolutely staggering.

Today Dr. Umbehr wrote to say, “I’ve been on NPR, Fox News, TIME, Sean Hannity’s radio show 8x…and none have resulted in as many emails, or social media responses as yours. Your following is nothing short of outstanding and I’m very grateful for the impact it will have on spreading the word about direct care.”

“Strangely enough, whenever an NFL representative proceeded to the New England sideline to shut down their headsets, the Steelers headsets cleared. Then as the representative walked away from the New England sideline, the Steelers’ headsets again started to receive the Patriots game broadcast.”

Once again the NFL isn’t doing their job.

Investigation: The US government’s 9/11 secrets (VIDEO)

*** begin quote ***

Lynch says, “It gave names of individuals and entities that i believe were complicit in the attacks on september eleventh. They were facilitators of those attacks and they are clearly identified. How people were financed, where they were housed, where the money was coming from, you know the conduits that were used and the connections between some of these individuals.”

Individuals, he says, who were never brought to justice. But who are they? And why would the U.S. government want to keep the information secret?

Fourteen Incredible Facts About 9/11
Kevin Ryan 
Washington’s Blog 
September 10th, 201564

*** begin quote ***

5.  Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger was caught stealing documents from the National Archives that had been requested by the 9/11 Commission. The Commission had previously been denied access to the documents but the White House reluctantly agreed to turn them over just as Berger was trying to steal them.

*** and ***

9. News agencies, including BBC and CNN, announced the destruction of WTC 7 long before it happened. One BBC reporter announced the collapse while viewers could see the still-standing building right behind her in the video. Years later, after claiming that it had lost the tapes and then found them again, BBC’s answer to this astonishing report was that everything was just “confusing and chaotic” that day. Of course, one problem with this is that the news agencies predicted the exact building, of the many damaged in the area, that would collapse. Another big problem is that no one could have possibly predicted the collapse of WTC 7 given the unprecedented and unbelievable official account for how that happened.

“Move along citizen, nothing to see here.”

I can’t believe that “We, The Sheeple” are so believing of the <synonym for excrement> that the Gooferment palms off on us.
