CapitalistRoader suggests keeping an eye on Mika Brzezinski in this video. (About 7 and a half minutes) She does look very unhappy every time the camera cuts to her. The Republican “war on women” is one thing. A rapist back in the White House is quite something else. The Democrats have made rape a BIG…

In Iceland the Pirate Party looks likely to win the next election. The Pirate Party of Iceland will receive a major funding boost from the state as a result of its high levels of public support. As the Pirate Times site explains, a total of around £1.6 million is allocated to Icelandic political parties based…

Spengler makes a comment to a post supporting Trump. He was responding to a comment about Jody’s article “A Catholic’s Case for Same-Sex Marriage”. I wrote a response to Jody’s same-sex marriage article, which which I disagreed, and observed that one learns more from Jody’s errors than from most writers’ correct points. I responded: What…

I have written a bit on the Kondratieff Cycle over at Hot Gas. I talk about he politics of the INs vs the OUTs. There is also a nice graph.

(About 12 minutes)     I should preface the rest of my remarks on this topic with the admission that I’m not a Christian. When I fill out my forms I say I’m Jewish. Which is how I was raised. But my actual religion does not conform to any religion known to any other man.…

Hew Hewitt – not a Trump supporter – says near the end of this video that Democrats are bringing the Republicans together. I think he is on to something.   (About 3 minutes and 40 seconds)

Well some one(s) at the network are not doing their job. (About 4 minutes) There is no Truth in Pravda. There is no News in Izvestia.

You will pardon the vulgarity. But they deserve it. Here is the New York Times story on how Trump supposedly treats women. Here is what one of the women featured in the story has to say. The short version: Trump was a gentleman. Compare and contrast that with Bill Clinton.   New: Woman featured in…

Hillary is going to put Bill in charge of the economy. Presumably she will be in charge of transgender bathrooms, laughing at raped 12 year olds, and starting wars.

Another reason Trumpers don’t care. A commenter at the Dilbert blog said: “Most Trump supporters are trying to elect a hand grenade to lob into Congress. No one is trying to put lipstick on the hand grenade before throwing it.” I’m looking forward to the second hand grenade. His VP choice. Rumors are it might…

Maggie Thatcher speaking (starts at about one minute in)     (About two and a half minutes)   Hillary speaking     (About 13 minutes – if you can stand to watch the whole thing)    

(About 4 minutes) This is a shortened and more animated version of this post: The Fake False Comfort OF Democrats.

    Time to start believing in Trump’s rhetoric.    

    What is with Obama and his bathroom fetish?    

(About 10 minutes) Clinton was not a public defender. Her decision to defend the rapist was her choice. And then there was husband Bill, flying on the Lolita Express. Bill Clinton jumped aboard disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ plane for junkets 26 TIMES in just three years Financier Jeffrey Epstein drew a light…

And he likes plant food. U.S. Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer of North Dakota – a major oil drilling state – is writing a white paper on energy policy for the New York billionaire, Cramer and sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Cramer was also among a group of Trump advisers who recently met with…

Wendy’s fast food has seen the future. And it doesn’t cost $15 an hour. Wendy’s fast food restaurant chain says it will begin offering self-serve kiosks at its 6,000-plus locations across America, making them available to costumers by the end of 2016. The fast food giant’s decision to move toward automation comes just as “Fight…

Yes, aluminum foil has its uses: The legal debate over whether police need a warrant to search a suspect’s cellphone is more than just raging on — it’s headed to the Supreme Court. But even if the nation’s highest court decides a warrant is needed, the authorities could still block you from remote-wiping your phone…

      Remember this post? Which Way Is The Hospital?. Now think. H –> ER. The image was cribbed from the comments at Dilbert – Scott Adams.

From Heavy. Janna already had a successful career when she and Paul met when she was 30, CNN reported. She was a well-known tax attorney and corporate lobbyist, and a graduate of Wellesley College and George Washington University Law School. Some were surprised that they hit it off so well, since she was a champion…
