Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  The parking lot is in Rothschild, Wisconsin. The picture was taken about 90 minutes before Ted’s rally.

Soon to be millions.

Obama lawyers would deny free speech to climate change skeptics. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch [is] investigating whether the Justice Department can and should sue scientists and others who question the human-caused climate change assumptions. Last week, Ms. Lynch testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that she has discussed the potential for bringing civil action…

The most viewed category by women in Australia and the US is lesbian. The link is to the Daily Mail, UK. So it may be safe for work. Except if you are reading it you likely are not working.

The Daily Mail has the story ( 6 Feb 2016 ) and lots more pictures. Here is a picture from Australia. I think it is a clue on how Trump will get the women’s vote.     “To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is…

That was an Imperial Probe Droid , It’s A Good Bet The Empire Knows We’re Here.

Here is a report. The interesting thing is that there was a police drill going on at the location at the time. And that got the commenters to thinking about other police and military drills that went on in the vicinity of other mass death events. One commenter said: “Wasn’t there also a drill in…

Well Rush doesn’t exactly say that. What he says is Let’s face it, Trump’s abortion answer was “hugely damaging” to the cause of beating the Democrats. Yes it is Rush. And I have been saying it for years. “If the Republicans would give up the culture war and focus strictly on economics they would be…

I have been visiting pro-Trump and pro-Cruz sites. And the cognitive dissonance is amazing. Both sides name the same group of on the air personalities as in the tank for “the other side”.

I was visiting a right wing site and a comment from what seemed to be a woman claimed that women are the victims of abortion. Women either initiate or consent to having an abortion. How does one get to be a victim and an initiator at the same time? Well other than, “I’m a victim…

Donald Trump just called out abortion foes on their hypocrisy. He said if abortion is a crime, women should get punished. Eric noticed it as well. Trump is correct. According to all my anti-abortion friends “abortion is murder”. Premeditated at that. We can’t just let the initiator of the crime walk. Can we? The anti-abortion…

For the bankers to get rich America HAS to run a trade deficit. The bankers job is to recycle the money. For which they get a cut. They get a bigger cut if the trade involves illicit substances.

Four Cartel Gun Battles in Four Days near Texas Border. Alex Jones? Yeah. So why am I linking to an Alex Jones site? Because of a comment Frank made to one of my posts. The first of the four recent gun battles began on Friday in the border city of Matamoros where Mexican soldiers killed…

Donald Trump says whatever he wants, without regard to consequences. Generally, only artists are allowed such freedom of self expression. (They can erase things, try another color, or scrap it entirely.) Such style has enormous appeal, but traditionally in politics there are negative consequences. What remains to be seen is whether that is changing.    

I got parts of his speech on a live feed. He was always mentioning the military in the part I watched. Not unusual for a politician. But what I found really interesting was the time he spent on bikers. He talked about all the guns they had and how he wanted to pose with them.…

At about 30 seconds into this video a BLM supporter at a Trump rally throws a punch and immediately gets pepper sprayed. The news will be, “Trump protester violently attacked”. Everybody has a video cam these days. Lying is harder. (About a minute and a half) I wonder if she will be filing assault charges?…

Eric’s recent post ADA Nazis got me looking around. And what did I find? A book by Oleg Atbashian. Shakedown Socialism. I discussed a recent post at ‘American Thinker’ that was authored by Oleg: A Former Soviet Discusses Trump. A typical review of Shakedown Socialism. The stories are real: this man lived in the Soviet…

About 14 1/2 minutes An interesting discussion (centered around Bernie Sanders) about who owns politicians. Also how money is raised in politics. Basically it is about who owns the government. Hint: it is not the people. There is also discussion of Donald Trump. My take is: Trump is panicking the people who own the government.…
