Overnight Open Thread (3-21-2016) - Édition de Surprise
Quote of the Day I - The Real Che Edition
The fog of time and the strength of anti-anti-Communism have obscured the real Che. Who was he? He was an Argentinian revolutionary who served as Castro's primary thug. He was especially infamous for presiding over summary executions at La Cabaña, the fortress that was his abattoir. He liked to administer the coup de grâce, the bullet to the back of the neck. And he loved to parade people past El Paredón, the reddened wall against which so many innocents were killed. Furthermore, he established the labor-camp system in which countless citizens - dissidents, democrats, artists, homosexuals - would suffer and die. This is the Cuban gulag. A Cuban-American writer, Humberto Fontova, described Guevara as "a combination of Beria and Himmler." Anthony Daniels once quipped, "The difference between [Guevara] and Pol Pot was that [the former] never studied in Paris."
-- Jay Nordlinger
Remaining Mysteries From the Paris Attacks
Four months after the November attacks in Paris there's still a lot that authorities don't know. The attackers apparently had crates of disposable 'burner' phones, and only activated them shortly before the attack. But none of the burner phones or the attackers' personal devices contain any emails or texts linking them to the attacks which suggests that they were using some kind of hidden encryption or have another undiscovered communication network altogether and were disciplined about using it. Furthermore the bombs used were sophisticated and showed evidence of having been mass produced which indicates there could be a yet-to-be-found bomb factory somewhere within Europe.
One of the gunmen pulled out a laptop, propping it open against the wall, said the 40-year-old woman. When the laptop powered on, she saw a line of gibberish across the screen: "It was bizarre - he was looking at a bunch of lines, like lines of code. There was no image, no internet," she said. Her description matches the look of certain encryption software, which Isis claims to have used during the Paris attacks.
...New phones linked to the assailants at the stadium and the restaurant also showed calls to Belgium in the hours and minutes before the attacks, suggesting a rear base manned by a web of still unidentified accomplices. Security camera footage showed Bilal Hadfi, the youngest of the assailants, as he paced outside the stadium, talking on a cellphone. The phone was activated less than an hour before he detonated his vest. From 8.41pm until just before he died at 9.28pm, the phone was in constant touch with a phone inside the rental car being driven by Abaaoud. It also repeatedly called a cellphone in Belgium.
The jury's decision came just hours after Judge Pamela Campbell informed the four women and two men deciding the case that Denton is worth $121million while the site is valued at $83million.Judge Campbell also informed the jury that the former editor of the site who posted the video, 41-year-old AJ Daulerio, has no assets and owes $27,000 in student loans.
He was hit even harder than Denton by jurors Monday, who ordered him to pay $100,000 of his own money despite being told about his financial status earlier in the day.
Like Baseball: Cry at Work If You Never Want to Succeed
Crying is an absolutely spiffing way to get what you want - in the short term. But once you've hosted a one-person snivel party, people tend to remember it. And nobody wants to see it again. People will start finding excuses to gently steer you away from challenging situations. They'll do your work themselves. They'll find someone else to give the hard-deadline gotta-have-this-now project.All of which means you'll become devalued and marginalized. If you want to secure the promotion, snag the bonus, make it to the top, you'll have to prove you can do the tough stuff. Women will be set back 100 years if they start believing it's OK to cry on the job.
But hey, OK, fine, if you just want to remain on the Girl Track for the rest of your life, by all means interrupt the weekly departmental meeting to fill your empty venti cup with your hot, salty tears. But take a good look around you as you do so. In my experience, women bosses tend to be even less sympathetic than men to female issues. Why? Because women bosses know what it's like to be women. They managed to make it anyway, and they think other women should, too. Bosses like employees who remind them of themselves.
Thanks to a 70s era law, the Indian Child Welfare Act, which says that native american children can only be placed with native american families.
Department of Children and Family Services agents were expected to take Lexi from her home at 10am on Sunday but postponed after a large group of protesters took a stand against her removal.The family is under 'specific orders' not to tell Lexi or their other children what is happening.
'As a grandmother, it's ripping my heart. It's ripping me apart to see Lexi has been a part of our family for almost five years, and she's not going to understand what's going on.
'The children are not going to understand the separation. This is going to destroy these children,' Tari Kelly, Lexi's foster grandmother, told ABC 7.
The Choctaw tribe has decided to place Lexi with extended non-blood relatives in Utah, who are not Native Americans and will not be living on the reservation.
So they've managed to maximize everyone's pain and suffering with no actual benefit. Good job assholes.
Welcome to the age of narcissism and indulgence, now enforced by the state.
The boy, identified only as PD, expressed that he wanted to be a boy in 2014 and was referred to the Tavistock Gender Identity Clinic with gender dysphoria.He later changed by deed poll. However his parents, who adopted PD when he was six, struggled to come to terms with his decision and called him by his previous name.
In a ruling made public today, Mr Justice Keehan said the couple's use of the wrong name had caused PD 'great annoyance and distress'.
PD came to the decision that he no longer wished his parents to be involved in his life; or receive any information about him, his assessment or any possible treatment.
His parents came to accept they should not receive any medical information but, in the hope they would one day be reconciled with their son, asked to receive quarterly updates on PD's life and welfare.
However the judge said PD, who has taken two overdoses and now lives with foster carers, did not agree with the request.
His views are held so strongly that he does not want his parents notified even if he needs emergency medical treatment.
Why You Shouldn't Let The Internet Name Things: Meet The RRS 'Boaty McBoatface'
The eccentric moniker emerged as a favourite after Britain's Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) sought input in naming the new vessel, which will be a flagship of its scientific fleet.The public were urged to find an 'inspirational name' that reflects the ship's mission, studying ice sheets, and celebrates Britain's long naval history.
Former BBC radio presenter James Hand said that while he stands by Boaty McBoatface as a 'brilliant name' for a ship, he has actually voted for RRS David Attenborough to be the new name.
...Boaty McBoatface is currently leading with 28,590 votes. The second-favourite - the RRS Henry Worsley, named after the explorer who died trying to make the first unassisted solo crossing of the Antarctic in January - has just over three thousand votes.
Meanwhile the US Air Force is asking people on Twitter to name the new B-21 bomber. Bomby McBomberface?

If you walk through any arts event in Scum Scamfrisco, you will find variations on the iconic Che photograph either on display as artwork, or for sale as merchandise.
These people are so vacuous that their skulls must contain a harder vacuum than any now recognized by physics. In reality, Che Guevara HATED the arts. Thought they were bourgeois and a waste of time and energy. He even prohibited turgid Soviet "socialist realism" in Cuba while he was alive.

Che perfectly illustrates my pet theory about the left, that they aren't interested in building a socialist utopia, they're just interested in death and destruction. As long as they personally get the opportunity to shoot kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck, they're happy.
Similarly, Che was happy when he was shooting people, but once the major part of the killing was done after Castro took over, Che decided "fuck this" and split for the Congo.

While in the jungle on his last attempt to overthrow a country he forbade his men from having sex (yes with women).
Yet in camp he was regularly hooking up with a woman who was actually a KGB agent.
Oh, that beard of his? That was to cover up a scar. The buffoon accidently shot himself during the Bay of Pigs invasion. This was after marching his men to a part of the island where a rowboat playing sounds of gunfire was floating. Yes, a decoy.

Castro, an astute student of Stalin's methods, was aware that Stalin had found it prudent to regularly rotate in new heads of the Cheka. Giving the old heads a carefully administered dose of a few grams of lead as he did so. The better to reduce the risk of palace coups.
It's really hard to figure a scenario under which Castro wouldn't have discreetly ratted out his former chief executioner. To eliminate any future lethal threat to the person of the capo di tutti capi, and to create a revolutionary martyr for agitprop use, in one fell swoop.

Not at all. Just pay it forward.
See something cheap & cool at a swap meet that some random Moron may like? Pick it up, send it on.
Glad you like it. I thought of you the instant I saw it, really. I perused it, and while I couldve tossed it on the shelf to flip through occasionally, i doubt I'd get half the enjoyment (or useful info) out of it than you would.

They say he was adopted at age six. You have to wonder what went on in his life before then. May not be pretty.
I feel for his parents who obviously care about him.
Or her. Or whatever.

Just a terribly sad story all around. The bright spot is that PD is definitely young enough that a turn-around and eventual reconciliation with the parents wouldn't be terribly shocking.

Heh!! I was stationed at MacDill AFB in Tampa during the mid-late 90s. I'm from Pennsylvania. I thought to myself one weekend "gee, Key West doesn't look that far". and drove down there on a Saturday morning. Got there late Saturday evening. Didn't see much of it since it took 9 hours to get there and 9 hours back. I stayed at the campgrounds at the Navy base there. Still, I did go again and planned ahead to give me a few days to enjoy the Keys. Key West is a tourist trap but I liked it (Hemmingway's cats were cool).

I sold cars for nearly ten years, and made my way up to Internet Sales Manager, with every Ford certification you could get.
Along the way, I'd worked with GMC, Pontiac & Buick, as well as Honda and Toyota.
Selling on a truck-heavy inventory is the only way to really make steady money, and though the job itself (the process of working with the customer, working the deal, selling the vehicle, doing the paperwork) does not suck....hell, it's actually fairly easy and usually nearly fun.
The fact that your financial fate is in the hands of whoever the store has hired as a General Sales Manager is the First Sux, and the ungodly hours are the Second Sux.
And that's before you get to cheating sales managers, who shuffle the gross profit to the back end of the F&I desk, or who take a dislike to a given sales rep, and make sure the poor SOB can't sell fire extinguishers to a burning man.
Those are the parts of the job that kill your soul.
Probably the easiest conversion to less stressful money, at least on straight commission, is to hook up with a highly reputable residential roofing company in your area.
Your normal commission, even starting out, will be right at +/- $1,000, vs. the usual "mini" of a tight car deal. Bigger houses, higher roofs, steeper ones, all pay more. You don't have to climb and measure like the olde days, that can all be done via satellite now. (Eagle View).
And you'd be far more in control of your own hours, can run those errands you need to run, too.
Other than a few later deals to meet homeowners after work, you're usually home for dinner. At least, most nights per week. Yeah, you might work a weekend or three, but it's all a tradeoff.
Just don't do like I did and fall though a commercial skylight. Good thing I'm not a horse, cause that one would've put me in the glue factory.

Even states that don't look that big or long on the map take longer to drive through than you'd think they would. I have heard the Apostle Islands on the northern, Lake Superior shore of Wisconsin are beautiful. I've never been there though and probably never will because it's a 7 hour round trip to get up there from here. It's easier to fly to NYC or Florida than it is to visit the northernmost part of my state.

That is usually after chiding Americans because they have not traveled outside of the US.
Why would you need to? Every type of geography is located within our borders.
Want to ski? We have world class skiing areas.
Want to go to the tropics? We have Florida and Hawaii.
Want to go to the mountains? The Rockies and the Appalachians are awesome.
Want great cuisine? New Orleans, Memphis, Kansas City, Miami, NYC, Chicago, San Fran, Dallas, Austin are all awesome.
Why go out of country when you can see what Europeans have to go all over Europe to see?

I'm not even Cuban, but that's always been my view of Castro, growing up in FL during the 80s and 90s. He's basically every evil Socialist dictator rolled into one, just far less capable of being a genuine threat if he doesn't have a USSR to send him missiles.
His government still deserves to be destroyed and sent to The Hague for crimes against humanity tribunals.

You understate the matter.
The papers in the Soviet archives confirmed that Castro urged the USSR to launch a first strike on the US during the '62 event.
So, no, Castro wasn't just another 3rd world client of the soviets.
He actually entertained the kind of global nuclear war lunacy that the Let insists was a infection in the US leadership.
If Castro and his crew had the ability to kill millions in the free West, they would do so without a second thought even today.

I've driven across Texas a couple times. Best time was when I was stopped by a state trooper. "Son, you're from out of state and you're driving 20 mph over the speed limit. You'll have to go see the judge." I follow the trooper into town and I meet the sweetest old lady that you could imagine. "Young man, the trooper says you are very respectful and you've got a nice short haircut. I'm only going to charge you $10 if you promise to slow down a little bit." I sure was glad I still had a govt issued haircut and $10 in my pocket. And that they never found all the guns in my car.

I was expecting an ardurous process of comparing different vehicles, features, prices, and whatnot. I had never set foot in a dealership before, nor had I ever bought a new car. I went into a dealership to look at a car that was on sale, took it for a test drive, and said, "OK, I'll take it". I signed the paperwork, showed up the next day with a check from the bank, and drove home. Bang. Done.

It's commercial (he was a hobby chemist, so I had to ask). It's locked in a good safe. It's up to 30 years old, but not "ancient" formulas. And it's in its original cans.
The thought came to her that, should someone really go after the place, they might try to burn through the safe door. Well, how much can there be in there anyway? "About 300 pounds."

I had a carbide miner's lamp back in the day. Bought new, too, at Payne Hardware on Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver, BC. One of the great old-time hardware stores. Yes, they sold dynamite, too.
But this lot came to me much later, a result of TDG rules making it uneconomic for small carriers to transport small quantities. Used to be, you wanted to check "lag time", defined as the time it takes for gas from the depth of the drill bit to get pumped back to surface, you'd wrap an ounce or two of carbide in a piece of toilet paper, and drop it into the drill pipe when the roughnecks were making a connection. Now the internal volume of the drill pipe is known, to better than two decimal places. And pump rate and efficiency are known, too. So you can calculate darn near exactly how long it takes for that carbide, and the gas it generates, to be pumped down the drill string, and out the jets in the bit. So you drop the carbide at 14:25, and see the gas peak or Acetylene peak on the chromat at 15:13, and you have calculated your down time is 3.3 minutes, you know your bottom-up lag time is 44.7 minutes.

To recap, there are rumors the NSA actually has a working quantum computer. Many don't think it's possible. If they did, they would be sitting on a lot of advanced knowledge and skill that they've managed to keep utterly secret and out of the public domain. So many don't believe that's possible. But, those guys are good. They've been at the sneaky, lying, backdooring, deception business since WWII and before in one form or another.
However, it is highly likely, almost certain, that the NSA can break most encryption in common use. That includes VPNs and HTTPS and just about any "secure" traffic over the internet.
There are weakness in the implementations of all these protocols. I wonder why? That's those NSA moles all over the private sector tech companies, of course.
Here, you don't put a backdoor proper in. You just put in a weakness. A subtle weakness. One that no one will easily notice, and even if they do, think it's so complex, no one can really exploit it.
I was reading one long explanation of this. It's in the standard Diffie-Helman key exchange protocol. Not in the protocol itself, but in how everyone implements it. He demonstrated that someone determined, someone who drop $100s of millions here and there in specialized equipment, could easily exploit that weakness.
And guess who that someone is? Ol' Bob at the NSA.
All of this shit with Apple and similiar is just Kabuki theater, I'm now convinced. It's about law enforcement and that. The super spooks, if they wanted to, could have owned that particular Apple phone. They probably have. But LEO, the FBI here, doesn't get the benefit of that. They operate at a different level, one of court warrants, admissible evidence, and trials and jail time.
The FBI doesn't have a clue what Bob at the NSA can do. And Bob wants it to stay that way.

Naw, just the cheap-ass stuff that turns to pulp and won't plug the jets in the bit. There's enough time that even lazy carbide will react. And if you get two peaks? One much sooner than expected? You have a washed-out joint in the string. Get 'er out of there, or plan on going fishing.
Nowadays, they use oil-base mud so much, and also down-hole motors and survey tools, that putting any solids into the drilling fluid is a no-no.

I used to have one bumper sticker on my old F250. A plain white sticker with big black letters:
Annoy A Liberal.
Work. Succeed. Be Happy.
This elicited a one finger salute from many commuters - either a thumbs up, or the other one. The ugly ones far outnumbered the happy ones, and were usually accompanied by very nasty, red-faced tirades from grey haired commies at various rates of speed.

Suppose you have a VPN tunnel set up. The NSA owns that. If they want to listen it, you're encrypted traffic is copied and sent to the Death Star facility out in Utah. Bob sees it all if he wants to.
Their budget, which is black and hidden, is estimated to be billions of dollars per year directed at attacking computer networks the world over. A special project, a lump sum to do something special, well that can be arranged any time they need it.

He bought up the rights to a bunch in the 50's, and would go around with a small tank truck every once in a while to collect, just to keep his hand in. Then in the 70's oil prices did what they did, and he was making significant money. All the relatives called him "Cousin Arnold the Oil Baron." In his career, he saw crude go from 3 cents to over 100 dollars.

To recap, there are rumors the NSA actually has a working quantum computer. Many don't think it's possible. If they did, they would be sitting on a lot of advanced knowledge and skill that they've managed to keep utterly secret and out of the public domain. So many don't believe that's possible. But, those guys are good. They've been at the sneaky, lying, backdooring, deception business since WWII and before in one form or another.
However, it is highly likely, almost certain, that the NSA can break most encryption in common use. That includes VPNs and HTTPS and just about any "secure" traffic over the internet.
There are weakness in the implementations of all these protocols. I wonder why? That's those NSA moles all over the private sector tech companies, of course.
Here, you don't put a backdoor proper in. You just put in a weakness. A subtle weakness. One that no one will easily notice, and even if they do, think it's so complex, no one can really exploit it.
I was reading one long explanation of this. It's in the standard Diffie-Helman key exchange protocol. Not in the protocol itself, but in how everyone implements it. He demonstrated that someone determined, someone who drop $100s of millions here and there in specialized equipment, could easily exploit that weakness.
And guess who that someone is? Ol' Bob at the NSA.
All of this shit with Apple and similiar is just Kabuki theater, I'm now convinced. It's about law enforcement and that. The super spooks, if they wanted to, could have owned that particular Apple phone. They probably have. But LEO, the FBI here, doesn't get the benefit of that. They operate at a different level, one of court warrants, admissible evidence, and trials and jail time.
The FBI doesn't have a clue what Bob at the NSA can do. And Bob wants it to stay that way.

There was something I remember reading, something the Euroland data guys were spooked by. Back, hell, it's 20 years now, in the 90s or so, the NSA was going ape shit about all the encryption they were starting to use. A lot of their traffic would get routed through equipment here. The NSA was bitching about them encrypting that traffic.
And the US govt started using all it's carrots and sticks to try to throw a monkey wrench in that.
ANd then, all of the sudden, they stopped worrying about. Hey guys, encrypt all you want. We give up. Why? Well, if you just did something like break Diffie-Hellman, that's exactly what you'd do.

A non-mathematical explanation of how Diffie-Hellman works is this. In the lingo, we have A and B, Alice and Bob, who want to send secrets between them. Alice and Bob want to be able to be anywhere in the world, and a send a secure message.
Now, they could have each other's keys of some sort. But that is dangerous. Bob could lose the key, or someone could steal and duplicate it, and thus open anything Alice sent him.
So, Alice locks up her secret message in a box and secures with a padlock that only she has the key to. She sends it to Bob. Bob can't open it. What Bob does is take a second padlock of his own, any padlock, and lock it second time, say on a second clasp. He then sends it back to Alice. She unlocks her lock, then sends it back to Bob, who then unlocks his lock and retrieves her secret message.
Diffie-Hellman is the mathematical equivalent of that process. THe secret being sent is an assymetric encryption key that will be used to encrypt the actual real messages being sent. It would take too much computing time to do a Diffie-Hellman for every piece of info being sent.
It is almost certain now that the NSA has broken that process. It can open that key that Alice sends Bob. That's what they do out in Utah.

There are only a couple of mechanical engineering crews in the world up to the task of designing a 7-speed manual for a powerful engine. I'd guess ZF?
For as robust as US-made manuals were in the golden age, the big hold-up in getting 5-speeds was that no firm was willing to develop a shop for new designs. We kind of lost a generation there, because everything we had was "Good enough." That used to make me grind my teeth, because a smallish US sedan with a small-block V8 in those days was just crying out for one more gear.
Your only choices to improve matters were Laycock and Bendix, and people would look at you funny just for saying the names. Not as bad as asking for a Quaiffe cluster for your Sturmey-Archer, though...

Those stump-puller firsts are very common on modern minicars. Not all of them have a smooth move to second, either. Make me think bad thoughts about the designers' notion of one's driving needs.
Now, on a big truck, it's different. First could be way down in the corner, with two or three moves to the rest of the pattern, because you really were pulling stumps, or pulling a load up out of the hole. All the time in the world. Foot-long throw.
Studebaker had a 7-speed with every damn gear in a different spot on the pattern. Unscrew the engraved knob, and it was virtually theft-proof. Nobody could drive it away.

There you get to operate and engine for prolonged periods under WOT (wide open throttle) conditions. You are geared low, and that torque is being used to drag a heavy load up a hill.
Some of us would have our own sort of races with that. It was not speed. Oh no, you don't want to get too fast with a heavy load at all. It was to get up a steep hill with as much speed as possible, and see who would lag behind and who could make first or lose the least speed.
It's different than racing. But it's just as fun. And you get to hear and feel engines running WOT at max torque.
Your gearing is critical. But also the skill of the driver in knowing when to downshift and how.

My old Morris Minors had 4-speed transmissions, and first gear was a granny gear, and unsynchronized. It wasn't until years later that I learned that you were expected to start in second, except on steep hills. Which was why it was unsynchronized.

I imagine it was the "invisible hand" of the engagement unit. But when I was coming up, every auxiliary overdrive was called a Bendix Unit by truckers. And every auxiliary gearbox was a Brownie-Box.
Those Crosleys were still built as marine engines until the 70's. Some versions claimed to be all stamped parts. Not even as much of what we'd call a "car engine" as Jeep's Go-Devils, but, pretty good motor for what they were. I think everybody, but especially performance drivers, ought to learn on something as comically underpowered as that. You really learn a lot, and you have a lot of time to think about it too.
You'd know, but others may not, that the Cooper Climax was a fire-pump engine when it started. What a lifetime that block had! Guy down the street used to rebuild odd factory motor equipment, and had a small airport snow-blower taken apart, complaining to me how long it took for parts to come in.

I understand they also were used to power truck reefer units for many years. I tore down one that came from a military genset. Said "Aerojet" on the block, but it was a Crosley engine. Four-ring pistons, on pistons that would be too small for a weed whacker. Forged crank, too.

Ah, rotary engines! Now there's an engine that needs lots of gears in the box. Huge horsepower at higher RPM, but little torque at low speed. I swapped a Mazda 12A engine and tranny into a Triumph TR7. If my friend still has the car, I'd buy it from him. It was a hoot to drive. Headers, we built them. Glow red hot, they would.

The human mind just wants to think linearly and can't grasp the behavior of exponentials. There are a couple of common examples to illustrate the behavior, the "lily pads on the pond" and the "rice on the chessboard" parables.
The lesson is an that a runaway exponential is already too late before you know it. With linear growth, you can tell something is getting out of hand, and have time to stop it. With exponentials, it's too late before you notice it. The last chance mark occurs well before you see anything is wrong.

I have a '48 Crosley Panel Delivery with a running engine, which is a little tired. Burns oil, it does. Also have a complete, supposedly low-miles engine and tranny on a cart, pulled out to make a hot rod. Thinking, swap the spare into the car, see if it's as good as was advertised. If so, leave it there, overhaul the takeout, and use it to build a 5/8 scale T-bucket hot rod, with exposed engine, just to fuck with peoples' heads.

I was recently recruited for a job in Sacramento, which would be a 700 mile or so daily commute.
By coincidence, whenever I get an offer like that the recruiter almost always has an Indian name. I suspect these guys are not even in the US but I can map a commute between two addresses in India, so why can't they take a moment to see if the commute is even within the realm of reason?

But what does that depend on. It depends on younger people keeping you up. You may protest that you'll love on your savings. That is true. But how does that work? You use your savings to buy the things you need to keep living without working for them yourselves. And what if there aren't enough people to make all the shit the retired people need to live?
That is the basic demographic crisis we are all facing. The Baby Boom was followed by a baby bust, with Western birthrates falling hard. It's too late. If everybody started making babies like crazy now, it would still be too late.
If you're wondering why Western govts seem so damn suicidal, wanting to import all these barbarian immigrants, well there's your answer.

I was mulling this over recently -- everything beef is steaks now. Used to be, you'd braise or stew lesser cuts to make them palatable....
.....as a matter of fact, much of the art of cooking in olden days was attempting to improve the edibility of sketchy inputs. Funny how that's undergoing a resurgence since top sirloin has pegged to $7.99/lb.

It seems to be "critical theory" of the left being applied to Trump, who has been consistent on fighting the globalists' export of our manufacturing, since at least 1990. Trump was praised in testimony to congress by R's and D's way back then, for his deep understanding. Now he is deemed a stupid poopy head by young bucks in Conservatism Inc.
Giuliani and many others think he would be much better than Cruz (at winning and governing), yet only the most extremist language about Trump AND his supporters is used now, by those demonstrating their true allegiance to ... to WHAT? To conservatism?
America First is what the founders believed ... these globalists are the enemy, not just the leftist Democrats. The globalists are "organized crime" at the highest level. These European bombings are a wake up call to one of the problems with their multi-culti plan to break down our western culture.
