In re "A Sign OF Things TO Come For Democrats", Harry Reid was recently called a racist by Maryland Democrats supporting Donna Edwards. His racist aggression crime was to endorse Chris Van Hollen.

I retired early because the job I had was going to kill me if I didn't.
Shoulda kept working and died early because retiring poor is a sub optimal solution.

Megyn went all out for Huck's announcement last night. More like a Huckabee infomercial, complete with his baby pictures and warm hearted stories of his life. This was then followed by a Luntz-style panel asking him questions where he babbled meaningless platitudes. Between that, and the beating Geller took from everyone at Fox, including Hume, O'Reilly and sadly, even Laura Ingraham, I was thoroughly disgusted.

So, somebody I never heard of, on a network I never watch, in a medium I see only via webclips, opined that the success of phenomenal, highly-acclaimed, self-achieved neurosurgeon Ben Carson is merely attributable to affirmative action.
Equally fascinating, someone, somewhere, thinks her gender is "sofa."*
I sort-of regret that I bothered a single brain cell with such trivia.

Just thinking: the Affirmative Action President, allegedly such a great orator, could not on his best day deliver a speech - on any subject - as well as can Dr Carson.

And I keep reading this one, but it just doesn't compute:
Senators on Tuesday blocked any future attempts to override President Obama's veto of a union election law. Senators voted 96-3 on a motion to table the president's veto message, essentially killing any further attempts to formally override the veto.
Republicans blasted Democrats after the vote, suggesting they blocked the Senate from being able to formally attempt a veto override.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said "Democrats refuse to allow the Senate to vote on overriding the veto. I voted with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to table the motion," he said in a statement. "Otherwise Democrats would be able to further obstruct our ability to deal with important issues including Iran, trade agreements and fixing No Child Left Behind."

Meanwhile Comrades, the microphone in your Corn Flakes box is here to stay:
The Senate isn't getting any closer to reforming the nation's spying laws or reauthorizing expiring portions of the Patriot Act with fewer than three legislative weeks left for lawmakers to do so.
On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would not pledge to take up legislation called the USA Freedom Act, which is expected to gain broad support in the House next week.
Instead, McConnell indicated that the starting point for his chamber would be legislation he and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) introduced to make a "clean" extension of the existing law for five years, which he would open up for amendments.
Civil libertarians have focused on the June 1 deadline as their best chance to rein in what they consider to be invasive government surveillance. But defenders of the NSA, including Republican leadership, say that allowing the provisions to expire would effectively handicap a crucial arm of America's national security.

""This is the exposure that they wanted and this is the divisiveness that they wanted to bring," said Omar Suleiman, resident scholar at the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, a Dallas suburb with a sizable Islamic community.
"We condemn obviously the attack in the strongest terms, and we are glad that the police officer is OK," Suleiman added. "This is what extremists on both sides want: whether it's Geller or whether it's ISIS. They want this all-out war. That's not what we're about.""
Hey, Omar? Fuck off.

Jammie's quote from NY Daily News was sickening. But, to paraphrase a different headline, another enemy self-identifies. Who's keeping the list for the burning times?
The ones I can't quite figure are the Hebdo survivors who are hating on Geller. Non-survivors unavailable for comment.
If piss christ had inspired equivalent response from some Christian Militia cult, no one would be blaming Mapplethorpe.
The religions of "kill the infidel" and "love your enemy"* inherently cannot co-exist.

I don't see that's what he's doing. I think he's merely stating a fact. Better economic policies would help. Better citizens would surely help. Better policing would certainly help.
Let's assume I am wrong and you are right in the interpretation.
Baltimore's murder rate has been well above the national average for years. I'm sure that's the result of excellent policing. Right?
Baltimore PD has had a long history of being overly confrontational in the wrong circumstances and not confrontational when it is certainly called for. Like most big city police forces, they're in the pocket of the Dems (and the union, BIRM). That means they tend to ignore bad behavior by the Dem's pet constituencies and instead go full Ravage on people who least deserve it.
NYC was the same, until Giuliani told the usual collection of victim groups to kiss his lily white ass and Bratton let hard data (i.e. COMPSTAT) drive policing decisions.

Like most big city police forces, they're in the pocket of the Dems (and the union, BIRM). That means they tend to ignore bad behavior by the Dem's pet constituencies and instead go full Ravage on people who least deserve it.
NYC was the same, until Giuliani told the usual collection of victim groups to kiss his lily white ass and Bratton let hard data (i.e. COMPSTAT) drive policing decisions.

I agree. As the gov't becomes even more involved in aspects of everybody's lives, people will become even more polarized to the other side because the other party, if elected, means a direct threat to their livelihood. See, for example, grandmas pushed off cliffs, abortions in "back alleys," etc. etc. ad nauseam.

The Volvo Ocean Race is an around the world sailboat race that started in Alicante, Spain last year and will finish in Gothenburg, Sweden later this summer. They make 8 stops a long the way at various ports along the way and do inshore racing and lots of partying.
The left Itajai, Brazil about 17 days ago and it looks like they will finish in Newport, RI early tomorrow morning. Then there will 2 weeks of partying. There are a few locals scattered amongst the teams including on Team Alvimedica and Team SCA. Should be a blast.
You can track the finish here for any who might be interested.

There is no hypocrisy involved here. The Left clearly believes in free speech except when it offends a group that is likely to respond with guns. It also explains why the Left so wants gun control.

There's no evidence that he had an illegal switchblade. At best, they found a knife with a spring-assisted blade on him, which isn't illegal under Maryland law and, according to the portion of the city code they posted in the article, isn't even illegal under the City code. Also, what's the source indicating that they arrested him on an outstanding warrant? Honest question, I haven't seen anything that says he had an outstanding warrant, just previous arrests.
Further, the police themselves have stated that the reason they chased and arrested him was because he saw them and ran. Running from the police, without anything else, isn't criminal activity.

Note this: the state has not stopped new water hookups. That's right, we're supposed to destroy the porcelain in or toilets by not flushing & let our landscaping die while they shoehorn more illegal aliens & barking moonbats in. Gotta increase the tax base. Not to mention how the fcuk do you cut consumption 25% when the majority already have low flow everything & only water every other day? Thanks fcuktards that re-elected governor moonbeam, the guy that cancelled the last phase of water projects in the 70s that would have prevented this.

Retirement More Myth Than Reality Survey Finds
I once did an 8 year stint in QA. One of the senior VPs gave us a lecture on how to do an inspection. He said survey's do have a place at times. But more often than not they were worthless because the only thing you got out of a "survey" was opinion. If you are looking for "opinion" then by all means, do a survey. If you want to check how many people are actually going into retirement then check SS data and company retirement plans,

I don't get how so many people here are happy that a guy who was not committing a crime ended up arrested and dead.

That was my take, too, but someone here linked a LegalInsurrection piece about how the pursuit and arrest can be justified under Terry. Which is still bullshit, but it's the current state of the law.
I don't get how so many people here are happy that a guy who was not committing a crime ended up arrested and dead.

Because Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are upset that he ended up arrested and dead, and we just have to be on the opposite side of everything always forever.

Fenelon Spoke: "The power of persevering prayer"
Thanks for following up from last thread. Opening that link in bg tab to read. Read read read. The thread's over 100 (as I start this) and I'm up to #7. I remember now how hard it is to type and read at the same time on a busy thread.
♥
Fen, re persistence: I often think of that father with his epileptic and demon-infested son (I think the kid had both) who came to Jesus begging for healing. The father, who had watched his son suffer for so long, must have followed Jesus and the gang around until he tracked them down. He was then teased by the apostles' failure to help the boy. Even after Jesus arrives, the father has to wait while Jesus goes through his chiding the apostles. Even then, at the very gates of healing, the Dad is admonished by Jesus to have more faith, until he's in tears. (That magnificent line about "I do believe! Help my unbelief!" Mk 9)
If everything was set down from the Beginning, immutably, what is free will? why pray? Even whether one believes or not, it's all set and settled, some are chosen and some are not... that's the Calvinistic stuff, isn't it? as well as the hopeless determinism of materialism. Why would we ever bother sneaking up to touch the hem of the Lord's robe, or get our friends to lower us down through the roof? Otherwise, we are not just creations, but really are given the chance to be co-creators. Like all things in time and space, we have to work on it, though.
It doesn't really matter externally, I hope, because Jesus isn't physically around to go visit lately. Rather, as Jesus advised the woman who touched his robe, it's internal. Outward motion can inSpire us, but persistence, within, completes the journey. (Reminds me of the army training video I posted this morning. The powers that be are rooting for you when you fall, cheering you on, but you have to get up and cross that finish line on your own.)

"Not to mention how the fcuk do you cut consumption 25% when the majority
already have low flow everything only water every other day?"
Just wait until you start seeing no-flow urinals everywhere, if they aren't already. F*ing disgusting things, I'd rather piss in the bushes. Can't wait to see the general use version for the home. Oh, and ultra-low flow fixtures will be the next step after people get used to the crappy low flow versions already mandated. Don't like it ? You are a wasteful hater of the environment.
Just one more benefit of massive, uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration.

I haven't read Terry v. Ohio in a long time, but my understanding is that the touchstone is there must be a reasonable, articulable suspicion of involvement in a crime for the infamous "Terry stop" to pass Constitutional muster. In theory, it's not supposed to be based on the subjective belief of the officer(s) involved, but an objective standard. Otherwise the police would have free rein to stop and frisk everybody on a whim.

Hillary Clinton is the favorite U.S. presidential candidate among millionaire voters and would win a head-to-head contest with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, according to the third CNBC Millionaire Survey conducted in March that was released today.
Of course, these millionaires aren't necessarily looking to make the country any better.
They are looking for business as usual, with tax hikes that can be avoid.
Just the kind of thing Hillary can do for them.
In fact, she has actual experience.
What other candidate can say that ?

In virtually all of the previous incidents of Cops vs. Black guy, the initial reports by the press and local officials have turned out to be massaged if not utterly false, no reason to expect different this time. The prosecutor couldn't even get the cops names right, don't tell me she has been giving us correct information as to the circumstances of the arrest.

That was NOT my point. The way to decrease crime in high crime districts, as proved in NYC under Gulliani, were programs like stop and frisk and broken windows. It decreased crime, neighborhoods prospered, and job opportunities went up. Either let the Cops do their jobs or take them off the streets and let them burn.

I can't say I'm happy about his death. Frankly, I don't care. One less heroin dealer doesn't give the sads.
But I do not know what if any crimes he may have been arrested for because no information is being released save for information from the prosecution. I'm also more sympathetic than some to the job inner city cops have to do in the cesspools liberals have created in those cities. So I'll wait and see what the police have to say before making a decision as to whether or not this was a good arrest.

Hi, MWW
Thanks, as always for your thoughts. I was trying to link to the actual section of the whole book which is the sixteenth lesson-"The power of persevering prayer." I'm not really a Cavinistic. I weren't to a Calvinistic seminary but they didn't confer me t I go along with John Wesley who said something like, "Predestination is a pernicious doctrine." (No offense to the Calvinists here. It's just something we can disagree on). Our focus- whatever our particular slant of Christianity should be "Looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith." I think God being omniscient is not the same as determining beforehand who is going to be saved and who is not. The purpose of prayer, IMO is to so that God's will can become our will as far as possible in this life, so that we might become more like Christ, that God be glorified and that his Son be magnified and yes, like growth in anything it takes persistence. There's a whole lot of depth to the Lord's prayer that we don't get when we just say it by rote at church. Murray's book covers that too.
I like your thoughts particularly your last paragraph and thanks for the video.
Please pray for me. I want to glorify God in the place he has called me to, and my life is changing soon.
Grace and peace be with you.

>>Michelle Obama: Museums And Concert Halls Just Don t Welcome Non White Kids
WTF? She should stop by our local Nature and Science museum on ANY weekday and see ALL the kids there - from public, private and home schools. Think the museum even has a program where the help fund the transportation for the schools to get them there. And then there are the families that make the trip into Denver from nearby states (Wyoming, etc) to take in our museums, zoo, etc.
If she ever lived outside of Chicago or DC she would know this type of stuff occurs. Or if she wanted to do something other than racebait....

I suspect Greece's decision to tax withdrawals will boost the use of crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, and push the use of credit.
Of course, it would also look like, for example, Rhode Island taxing withdrawals. Anyone close enough will go to the next state, and a there should be a rise in the number of black-market banks and "check cashers" that would basically give access to outside banks.
(followed by crackdowns on the same by the goberment)

We're not in a court room here. I was just making the general point that he was probably up to no good and by running from the police he proved it. There is a difference between convicting someone in a court of law and policing on the street.

I'm not happy about Gray being dead. Pretty sure that I haven't seen anyone here (but there are always trolls) being happy about it. But that doesn't mean that I should take what the media, the government, or the police say at face value. I posted a link to Legal Insurrection's analysis that said the knife in question was illegal. You can argue whether or not gun and knife laws make sense (hint: they mostly don't), but that's irrelevant. And you can favor an actual of investigation of the facts in the case and still think the cops are responsible for Gray's death.

All potential NoVaMoMee attendees, listen up!!
There is a payment involved.
If you did not follow the process to the point where you made a payment in one form or another, I suspect that you are not truly registered yet.
And the effort to use your credit card instead of PayPal is a study in frustration, as it seems no matter what you try...it comes back to PayPal.
I was able to register several weeks ago using a credit card.
But, it taxed every ounce of patience I possessed to not just say F'It, and quit trying.
The bad thing?
I can't tell you how I ultimately did it.

Greece is set to introduce a surcharge on withdrawals and financial transactions in an effort to raise cash amid fractious negotiations with creditors.
'set to introduce' ... damn, that is stupid
This is sort of like getting a warning before a heart attack.
My guess is that withdrawals accelerate.

Cops are people, they act based on their experiences/expectations. If Baltimore Cop "A" knows that 99% of the time he sees a heroin dealer fleeing at the sight of a police car, then he probably has a warrant or is in the midst of committing another crime, then that experience would lead him to pursue, no? How that fits the legal framework in this case, I don't know yet, but the Cops reaction to a fleeing known felon seems natural enough to me. Certainly not malevolent or racist.

FWIW, I haven't liked much of Williamson's stuff the last couple of weeks. Usually I think he's pretty good, but he seems a bit 'off' lately.
As for his "reverse incarceration" idea... I actually kind of see the point and what it's based in (move someone out of their home area, and they won't be able to hang out with the same crowd which encouraged whatever lawlessness got them arrested in the first place). But it's completely unworkable as a practical matter- unless you have a fullyFederalized Weaponized National Police force.

At a Clinton Global Initiative event in Marrakesh, former President Bill Clinton was asked why he isn't defending the Clinton Foundation from increased scrutiny. "I just work here," Clinton replied. "I don't know."
The extended question to Clinton came from billionaire Mo Ibrahim who said, "I opened the newspaper and I was shocked to see these attacks on the foundation."
The billionaire continued, "I didn't see anybody from the foundation standing up and really having a go at that. I don't know what your board members--I know my daughter [a board member], she's useless. Because you should have stand up and really take issue. What is this money for? What have you done with it? And that's what people should ask."
"I just work here," Clinton responded. "I don't know."

Lincolntf @ 249: I've heard cops brag about how they throw a handcuffed suspect into a paddy wagon, then take him to the police station by driving fast along a bumpy path. Did the police do this to Freddie Grey? Maybe, maybe not. But the murder charges certainly seem appropriate.

NYC used to do that very thing and it did reduce crime. But the current commie mayor stopped it as soon as he entered office.
And as far a the chases of that perp foes don't you folks know that this guy was well known to the Baltimore cops? When he took off running that was an open admission that he was likely carrying drugs. Especially since he has a long history of dealing drugs.
I used to run around with Oakland cops when I was out in CA. I can tell you that they knew every dealer and pimp in the city. And if they came up on one in the parking garage of the what used to be the downtown hotel there at corner of Broadway and 6th street and he ran when they showed up I guarantee they would chase him.

Apparently because 'you're a fan' I've pissed you off by not liking an article before. Heavens! Because pixy sucks I can't quote it but the whole bit about just moving people 200 miles away instead of incarceration stuck me as particularly ill thought out.
You haven't pissed me off. It takes more than a dispute about a writer to piss me off (I have three brothers and a sister who's tougher than all of us).
As far as the "200 miles away" stuff, it seems like a (possible) lame parody attempt to me, along the lines of J. Swift, but it's also a really small part of the point he's trying to make. He likes cops to have strong leadership and more aggressive community-based policing, including stop-and-frisk. This article might not have made the point very well, but I think that's his complaint with Baltimore cops.

"Yeah no. Manslaughter maybe. Murder no - For Murder you have to show intent from what I am hearing."
First degree murder - definitely not.
Second degree - maybe. All that needs to be proven is a depraved indifference to human life. (That's how it is in New York, at least according to some "Law & Order" episodes I've seen.)
From everything I've seen, this case is totally different from Ferguson. I might very well be wrong, but it sure seems that the cops behaved very badly.
