Says The Guardian.     My kind of politician    

The Illinois Primary is coming up this Tuesday and D. Trump was in Chicago to speak. His rally got shut down by a mob. At least in ’68 the mob had sense enough to go after its own. One of those cheering the protestors had this to say: MAZEL to everybody who made this happen.…

I was looking at trivia and found this:     One cup of coffee contains over 100 chemicals.     How many chemicals are in two cups of coffee?

With the rise of Trump and Sanders we see the authoritarianism that has become currency in America unmasked. It is ugly. The problem is that they ALL do it. But in this election cycle it is nakedly on view. I had this to say about it in a comment I made elsewhere in a discussion…

I’m enjoying the irony of American Sanders supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of Socialism and what it really means! Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and…

The video is about 30 seconds. It doesn’t get good until about 20 seconds in. Mark Kirk (R) is running for US Senate reelection in Illinois. He is running on “Muslims need to be vetted and the government has no way to vet them.” In other words – Trump has coat tails. This is probably…

Let us assume (not a foregone conclusion) that Trump gets the Republican nomination. Can he get a win in November? Scott Adams – Dilbert – thinks so. As of this writing, 60% of the voting public views Donald Trump unfavorably. In the 2D world, you assume he is doomed in the general election. But let’s…

The video is about 35 seconds.   From the New York Daily News. Donald Trump’s been knighted by racist David Duke. The former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan told his bigoted followers that not voting for Trump would be “treason to your heritage” and implored them to volunteer for the…

Some one asked if I would vote for Trump, and why? Here is my answer (revised and extended). I HATE Hillary Clinton with a Purple Passion. I voted Libertarian last time. And a few times before (Ron Paul ’88, Harry Browne ’00). This time I want to vote AGAINST a candidate. I mean can you…

We are in a classic end of a Kondratieff cycle. The incumbents try to protect themselves because the upstarts are hurting the incumbents but are not yet strong enough to overthrow them. Just one data point. Cannabis cures cancer. That is worth $100 bn to the Medical industrial complex in the US. World wide maybe…

This is fanciful. I wonder if it can be translated to reality? Attack On A SWAT Team I also liked –> Trends in domestic intelligence I saw the links on a report on the government’s desire for a backdoor for all encrypted communications. That backdoor would be easy to get around. There is lots of…

There have been some developments in Syria. The overall strategic situation is this. The Kurds have taken the territory between Azaz and Kobane called the Azaz Corridor. This is Turkey’s supply route to their proxies in Syria. First some history. And a map. Larger map image. From January 15th, 2016: Arab Weekly — Syria: The…

You can find out more about the performers at An average girl named Jane finds herself sharing an apartment with four deities and prophets. On offer at the site is Aphrodite’s Bra for $1,500. No mention of cup size. I probably should add that I am personally acquainted with one of the performers/writers. Just think…

It looks like Hillary is having a media problem. Earlier this week, we learned from Gawker that at least one U.S. reporter traded content in his article for information from Hillary Clinton’s staff while she was Secretary of State. In what is an almost hard to believe exchange, Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic, agreed to…

The woman in the video describes what the Muslims have done to her town, Calais. She talks about how the residents are not allowed to defend themselves. Home invasions. And more. The comments to the video are very interesting. It fits in with the video I posted yesterday. Who Will Protect The Women In A…

Fortunately it is some European women making this point. It is ironic though. Maybe fish do need bicycles. The left has been working on feminizing men for a very long time. The epitome of that is our current president. OH?Bummer! The video is a fine example of how fast all the gains of the leftists…
