A couple of weeks ago the whole "where are the bees?" bullshit was restarted again. Bill Maher even did his part by bringing an "expert" on his show to make shit up about it. Global Warming, of course.
So, naturally, we need to ban things and tax things, of course. Because that's what the bees are telling us.

Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate And yet somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie all our problems would be solved. Look to the cookie Elaine.

BREAKING! CHATTANOOGA SHOOTER HAD BEEN SPOTTED AT SHOOTING RANGE WITH 3 MEN BEFORE MASSACRE
so, no lone wolf, not that that matters at all, a terrorist is a terrorist
Abdulazeez was reportedly spotted with three other men who were wearing long beards like Abdulazeez. All four were reportedly practice shooting.
The claim has not been confirmed by law enforcement but several sources told WDEF the men were likely spotted at Prentice Cooper Gun Range.

She is launching an early volley in support of Obama's plans to Federalize local zoning, what Mark Levin calls "Federalizing the Suburbs."
Per the NY Post article yesterday and on the heels of the recent Supreme Court decision approving of the gross overreach of the Fair Housing act, the administration is putting together a massive race-focused Database of Everything. One outcome, among many, will be to force cities with high-density minority populations to disperse those populations into underrepresented, i.e. higher-income areas in order to continue to receive Federal Funding.

National Security Expert Slams Hillary's 'Assault' On Free Speech
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton put her willingness to defend the Constitution in serious doubt when she promised Islamic countries the United States government would intimidate Americans who violate their free speech code, national security expert Stephen Coughlin told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
As Secretary of State, Clinton promised an international Islamic organization in 2011 that the United States government would "use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming" to intimidate Americans who improperly criticize Islam or Muhammad.
"An official of the United States, in an official communique, went to a foreign land to commit to a foreign leader that the United States Government would engage in the extra-legal practice of intimidating American citizens in the exercise of what is otherwise their protected free speech rights under the First Amendment," Coughlin told TheDCNF.

*loads gun to shoot self*
Bee "societies" are matriarchal and essentially all female.
The male bees are drones, who dump their sperm into the queen and are then driven away from the hive.
Thus, The Death of Bees(TM) is an insidious plot by the Patriarchy-
to not only destroy perfect matriarchal societies but to prove that matriarchy cannot work.
Now, you too can "think" like an SJW.

Liberal Critics Loathe New Apatow Movie's 'Too Conservative' Happy Ending
looks like a must see
http://bit.ly/1JqMgBR
Here's the IMDB link
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3152624/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Having thought that monogamy was never possible, a commitment-phobic career woman may have to face her fears when she meets a good guy.
I won't trust the rating on this. I'm sure IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes will be in all out leftie attack mode.

This.
This is why that "the science is settled" shit really annoys actual scientists. No science is ever "settled," ever. Some of the apparently soundest notions of science - Newtonian mechanics, conservation of parity - were subsequently shown to be substantially in error or inadequate. Physical scientists are surprised all the time; even climastrologists are surprised, as for example by the 17 year hiatus in "global warming."
"Social" scientists, OTOH, are never surprised. Their data always bear out their original hypotheses. I guess they're just a lot smarter than we are, and were just hiding their brain power when we took hard science classes together.

Add in what we have learned about other solar systems.
Our solar system seems to be one of the quiet, stable ones, and was likely very different early in its life.
Others solar systems are like madhouses. Planets bigger than Jupiter orbiting so close to their parent stars they circle it in just a few days, for example.

A very good friend of mine from college (a math major) is now (after a stint in finance, etc.) on the shady side of the hill teaching high school math in a less than stellar area.
Apparently, it's soul-destroying. Kids are stupid and lazy, don't give a crap, don't do the work, in short, pretty much reflect their parents' values. He hates it. And being conservative, also hates the teacher's union, to which he must perforce belong and pay dues. Putting up with brain-dead liberal education majors is just an added bonus.

Feminists love bees. Bees are their spirit animals. Why? Because Bees (and certain spiders, but spiders are yucky) are one of the few creatures that living in matriarchal society.
Now, before you laugh too hard -- think about. The entire colony lives or dies based on the Queen bee. Who has many suitors and basically sits around all day controlling her minions while her minions do all the actual work.
So if bee colonies are dying off, that means the feminists spirit animals must be mad. And like scorned gods, they are sending a sign to the patriarchies of the world that they cannot survive without matriarchal creatures like honey bees, who do the important work of pollinating our flowers.

Buddy of mine did that after law school. Taught history. Wanted to "make an impact" on his community. Kind of a liberal type, more LIV than anything.
His eyes were opened very quickly. The stories he told -- I mean, I believe it!
But essentially the kids were entirely unconcerned with learning, their parents had no control over them and did not care if their kids were not learning. They also took any criticism of their children as being "racist" or "ignorant" and essentially everyone in the entire district had just "checked out". They go through the motions of teaching, but essentially they see themselves as part time prison guards keeping an eye on the yutes for 7 hours (or whatever), and thats about it.

Fire everyone and sell off the hospitals to private healthcare providers.
Hire several hundred veterans and put them in an office where it's there job to send out cards to veterans that they can present at any doctor's office, hospital, or medical center to receive treatment.
Send the medical bill to the same office where it's reviewed to make sure it's an actual veteran receiving the care and then paid.

There are two large public high schools in the city where I live. One is the affluent one; the other is more, cough, "urban". The teachers I knew worked at the urban one.
They were completely hamstrung by their administration. They'd gotten a new principal, who had noticed that the down market school had a much higher suspension and expulsion rate than the up market one. She decided this Needed Fixing.
Her solution was... To stop suspending and expelling students. The students, who aren't smart but are very gifted in feral cunning, realized that they now effectively wouldn't be punished for anything they did, and became basically uncontrollable.

Now that they've been visited, we know that each one is utterly unique and individual. They all have rich and complex histories, which cry out for further exploration.
All of this has happened during my lifetime. All of it. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have lived during the first great Age of Exploration of the solar system.
Here's a great video made before New Horizons encountered Pluto, which recaps the first encounters of all the planets. It's best viewed in HD on a big screen:

But I later found out that asexual isn't a single orientation. It's a spectrum.
Sure, it includes some crazies like "tri-gendered robosexuals" or something like that, but here's something else it includes...
"heteroromantic demisexuals".
This means, people who are attracted to the opposite sex, but won't actually have sex with someone unless they're in a committed relationship.
In other words, exactly the sort of people social conservatives should be supporting, and holding up as examples of how people should live in general.
It's a shame that such people have to play lefty identity politics to avoid "prude-shaming" on the modern college campus, but the world is what it is.

Twitter's "syntax" such as it is, sucks donkey balls. Needs some sort of threading hierarchy.
Also, I would like to see somebody set up a Web site that would automatically create "burner" Twitter accounts. Go to the site, log in, get a "burner" account, and go post "You, poor, stupid c*nt." as a response, to say, Jess X. Chen, and move on. Of course it will get deleted, but if enough people did this, eventually the be-c*nted might just get a clue. Or not. But it would be fun in any case.

Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land,
That from her western shores
Those beautiful worker bees journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease,
On their wings were painted signs.
To the East Africa was a neighbour,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is
But a remnant of The Matriarchal Bee culture.
The antediluvian bees colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.
Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out swarms to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The bee, the bee, the other bee, another bee,
The Queen and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the Patriarchy of our time chooses to remain blind
Let us rejoice
And let us buzz
And wiggle dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!

I'll give them credit for a clever tactic. And, as I've said before, I fully expect Jeb to win the nomination. He's who the rulemakers want, and they have the whole process gamed out pretty extensively.

Worker bees are female so is the queen only drones are male, their colonies are threatened. Fact!
Now you see, these bees are orange and black, orange and brown, mostly brown sometimes. Bees are female creatures of color, nobody much cares for having those stingy things around yet they're needed so they're pushed to the edges where they can keep to themselves and be tended without hurting anybody, they are marginalized, and their colonies are threatened, fact, and not sustainable.
Bees and bee colonies are the exact same thing as people considered in separate groups, female, color, marginalized, and I mean EXACTLY the same thing. Cept differnt.

If any school disciplines a "disproportionate" number of blacks, they will get their federal funding cut. This means that white and Asian students are disciplined for teeny-tiny infractions and blacks get a pass on anything short of a violent felony. Living hell.
The people I feel for the most are the minority of blacks in these neighborhoods who really DO want their kids to get an education. The whites and Asians can survive, albeit with difficulty. But the decent black kids are caught between idiotic government policy and the pressures of the "don't-act-white" thugs. They are screwed.

So far they are equally mean to each other though the women are meaner than the men. By mean I mean game playing and dumping people for no discernable reason. Then again, this is just a TV show. But the body language of the women is weird. It's so like "get away from me" I realize there are all sorts of taboos about touching but still if there is a couple of feet between you, why cower in the opposite direction?
Also, if you are divorced but sleep with your ex, you are considered married and have to go thru another divorce.

New Horizons is expected to encounter another KBO on its way out. There are two potential candidates near its current track, and they will have to pick one and use the spacecraft's thrusters to alter its path slightly. I don't know how far away they are; presumably it will take a few more years to get there.

"Marginalized communities are not sustainable"
Of course not, that is why they are rotting away no matter how much money you throw into them.
"People of color are not sustainable"
They seem quite capable of reproduction at rates higher than people of pallor, so I guess she means not the people themselves, but their culture is not sustainable.
"Colonizing women are not sustainable"
Not aware of any attempt to send women off on their own to colonize, so I suspect she is right in that they would not be able to establish a colony on their own.

Authorities in the U.S. and abroad are working to figure out what might have motivated the 24-year-old to shoot up a recruiting center in a strip mall in Chattanooga and then drive to a Navy operations support center about 7 miles away and stage another attack. He died in a gunfight with law enforcement.
[...]
Jordanian sources said he was able to freely travel to and from Jordan and had no known record of criminality or anything in his background that would suggest he was radicalized in his Islamic faith.

It is in complete opposition to how I have encountered police on the wrong side of the law (speeding). When I was pulled over for speeding, the single cop held me at gunpoint on the ground for over half an hour while 5 additional cop cars, carrying two police officers each arrived all pointing guns at me face down on the ground. Only then did one of them lower their gun and come over and cuff me. All for simply speeding at 20 mph over the speed limit.
