At the moment? Nobody.
Luap Dnar is too in favor of open (or at least loose) borders. Cruz has been trying, but he's got some problematic votes and some wiffle-waffling on a couple issues. Walker can't seem to make up his mind on immigration. Etc.
And none of them understand what Trump is doing, anyway.
Trump is, more than anything else, the F*ck You candidate. That's why he can get away with minimal policy statements. It's why he can get away with apparent contradictory positions. It's why no one acts terribly surprised at whatever latest "revelation."
We're not actually supporting Trump. We're supporting "F*ck You!"

Yep, given a choice between burning it down or accepting that people with wrong-thoughts might actually like (and write) Science Fiction, the folks at WorldCon decided to burn it down.
Now, if the Sad Puppies want to take it all the way, the could blow up the industry. It'll be interesting to see how vocal the Puppies are in the next year.

AllenG, this strikes me as a Political Urban Legend. Yes, Trump is saying little of substance, but how exactly does that differ from Shrillery "College Must Be Freeee!" Klintoon, Bernie "We Hafta Make the Middle Class All Better!" Sanders, Ted "I'm Against Anchor Babies...no, wait, that was yesterday" Cruz and the ever-popular Scott "Who, Me?" Walker?
If Trump's message is "We Gotta Do Stuff," it's okay with me. I see (judging from Breitbart headlines) that the other GOPe wannabe Preezys are "embracing faith" which is, IMO, the last refuge of scoundrels.
Posted by: MrScribbler at August 24, 2015 08:43 AM (SNBrO)
Walker's waffling last week was particularly pathetic. Cruz was a close second. Those used to be my top two choices.

I'm not sure that's an either/or situation. I think it could go either way. If Trump hangs on (and he seems to be becoming more serious as the campaign goes on), then we'll have a style-over-substance election- one that Trump has a very good chance to win.
If Trump does not hang on (and it's way early in the season), and one of the actual Conservative candidates (likely Cruz or Walker, in my estimation, but I'm making zero predictions) takes the nomination, then we *should* get a substance election (since the Dems don't have anyone with a good image). That, again, gives the Republican candidate a very good chance.
If Trump does not hang on, and some DOPe shill becomes the nominee (Jeb!, or Kasich, or Christie, for instance), the the Democrats win their first 3rd-consecutive-term in very, very long time.

The difference is that Republicans are typically held to a higher standard by the MFM (delenda est). Usually, a Republican trying to run on "hope and change" (which, functionally, is what Trump is doing) would be peppered with all kinds of policy questions with the intent of destroying their credibility and/or image.
Indeed, the MFM (delenda est) is trying to do that with Trump.
Trump, however, is shocking them by saying, "FYNQ" and Conservatives (and conservative-leaning LIVs) are eating it up.

I really feel they would rather lose than ever let Trump be the nominee.
You can see that now with the Kevin Williamsons comparing Trump supporters to neo-nazis and fascists.

I've been using the AdBlock thingy with FF for about a year now. I've seen a noticeable improvement in my blood pressure. The more ads are "targeted," which is one of the worst legacies of the Rise of Google, the better I feel.

Under President Trump all our needs will be taken care of. Once he gets ei of 3rd worlders there will be plenty of money to support real Americans. No more mortgages, no more medical bills, no more tuition costs and the ferals will be put back in quarantine zones.

That's one of the most bogus arguments the left makes. Mexico's constitution explicitly provides that Mexican children born in the U.S. are Mexican nationals, and are eligible for Mexican citizenship (which Mexicans get when they reach age 1
. So American-born Mexican kids sent back home to Mexico have the exact same rights and privileges in Mexico as Mexican-born Mexican kids have.
And the same is true for many other illegal alien kids. When that "surge" of illegal alien kids from Central America started a few years ago, the CA governments were building re-patriation processing centers for when their kids were sent back home. Saw the photographs of one of the centers in Honduras; it was quite nice . . . and very empty.
It's not that we can't send these kids back to their home countries; it's that our government won't.

Satan worshipers launched a counter-protest against pro-lifers outside the Detriot and Ferndale, Michigan Planned Parenthood locations Saturday.
Clad in black robes, members of the Satanic Temple of Detriot drenched bound women with milk, simulating water-boarding to 'illustrate the theocratic agenda imposed upon female bodies.' The milk symbolized breast milk, one of the protest organizers explained on Facebook.

I think he was referring to votes-for-passage.
Of course, we know that's not the limit of support. There are also those who "hear the call of history," and all sorts of other things.
The fact that the DOPe and DOPe favoring media don't want us to remember is that the entire thing could have been derailed at several points, and Republicans didn't (indeed- threatened to punish Republicans who were about to step out of line) do any of the things they could have.
Heck, all that had to happen was for one Senator to withhold "unanimous consent" to waive the reading of the bill. They yanked one amendment rather than let it be read, they almost certainly would have done the same for the full bill.

That's a word they use to describe themselves. Like calling an unpatriotic law "patriot act."
A correct label would be "regressives," although that suggests they are regressing to a state as bad as our primitive ancestors, when really they seem to be finding ways to be worse than our most barbaric ancestors.
Perhaps "degressive" might be better applied. (Yes, AFAIK, I just made that up.)

One of the things that has kept me away from the stock market -- well, aside from abject poverty -- is fact that it has become a rigged toy of the Investment Elite and political hacks. Nothing in it relates to what I consider real value; instead, it's all smoke, mirrors and bullshit.
In the Old Days people would invest in stocks for long-term payback. The values would climb with profits and dividends.
Now, if you can't become a bazillionaire within days, you feel cheated.

Actually, his reasoning was cynically good. After years of staying out of the market, individuals have gone back in because inflation has made "chasing returns" necessary. I know, we don't have inflation, but prices keep going up, but anyways, his rule that when the mechanics and plumbers get in, it's time to get out, because the system is designed to vacuum money off the bottom and send it to the top.
I don't know if that's right, but three out of three crashes fit that pattern.

As far as the HUGOs went, the SJWs have basically just proven the Puppies correct. They're so insular and opposed to any outside views that they were willing to torpedo not just conservative authors and editors, etc, but also liberal ones simply because some conservatives thought their work was worthy. It's absurdity in stilts, but that seems to be the norm in SJW world.

I am sorry that it was such a stressful day for you.
Perhaps you should speak to your pastor about the issue. Having been a new pastor at a number of churches I know it may just be that your pastor doesn't want to deal with really contentious issues right now. I don't know the content, of course, but were they speaking of the future of Your individual church?
I think that unless people are pushed to the wall and/or and heresy is being preached it's best to stay at a a church you've gone to with people you know, who know and love you. That support is important at contentious times like this. Wait and see what the new pastor has to say and what happens in your church regarding this. It's hard for new pastors to make transitions. Pray for your pastor. We need it and appreciate it and keep reading the word, going to Bible study and focusing on Jesus Christ during the service. "Our hope is built on nothing less..." Do you know that hymn?
An let us know how things goes. I will keep you in prayer, Agent and your church as well

The DAX is down 558 points (-5.51%).
The Hang Seng is down 1,158.05 points (5.17%).
Nikkei is down 895 points (-4.61%).
Looks like the possible correction to the Dow and Nasdaq will be to the 5% range, which is where it is hovering.
By the way, has anybody here seen a circuit breaker? I know someone left one here from 1987.

Pastors like to meet the members of their new church. Perhaps you can make an appointment to see the pastor, introduce yourself and talk about your interests and talents and see where the new pastor is coming from? That might lessen the anxiety about a topic that wasn't addressed.

Ever since I was a kid I've loved science fiction. I grew up reading the works of the Triumvirate (Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein), as well as the likes of Sturgeon, Leinster, Ellison, Blish, Bova, Niven/Pournelle, a long list. (And I have to tell you Harlan Ellison was never anywhere near as good a writer as his ego told him he was.) And I continued to read it throughout my life. But in recent times I started noticing a change in SF, that I did not like.
Some years ago my wife was a nationally recognized online reviewer of SF and fantasy, hence for a good while we got a steady stream of books from a couple of publishers for her to review. And I read a lot of them myself. Or tried to. The fact is that in recent years a lot of the so-called SF out there has become, at least to me, unreadable.
This is because the SJWs, as they are known here, had moved into the genre, and some (not all) of the publishing houses started putting their work out there. And without notable exception, their "work" was crap. SF, at least a fair amount of it, stopped being about aliens, time travel, spaceships and such, but became just hackneyed, hateful leftist polemics.
An example of this was a supposed SF anthology edited by "Connie Willis", whom I'd never heard of, and you never saw such dreck in your life. And hate? For a group of people who are always going on about how bad "h8rs" like us are, these people hate with the heat of a thousand suns, especially if you are a white heterosexual male who does not bow down before the Great God Marx/SJW GLBT/female/PoC orthodoxy. Most of their stuff is downright vicious in this regard.
I've long felt that the main reason the whole "Sad Puppies" thing got started was that those writers who did not pray before the SJW idols got a bellyful of the hate (and bad writing) and decided to rebel. They were not entirely successful, but at least they made their presence known.
Frankly, I don't see SF as a genre surviving much longer. For one thing, as was even noted at Worldcon, the SF fan base is rapidly aging. The young, so thoroughly dumbed down by the Left, is not coming in. Unsurprising, I suppose, since nothing seems to hold the millenial's attention longer than 30 seconds, unless it's Kim Kardashian's well-f*cked ass.
Sad, really...

It's a little more than that. The original point wasn't even especially political; a few authors started noticing that the Hugos were just a giant Big Publisher circlejerk, and the barrier for entry into that circlejerk happened to be SJW lunatic politics. If you were not an inducted SJW cultist, you simply weren't getting in. So Sad Puppies (and the LIB variant, Rabid Puppies) was basically formed to shed light on this fact. After that, it morphed into an effort to return the Hugo voting to actual, yannow, SF fans rather than professional victims who would otherwise be forced to go on hipster welfare. (Patraeon)
Well, the SJWs are having none of that nasty democracy, not in THEIR circlejerk, no sir! The sheer amount of salt over the fact that they brought this on themselves
has the cultists in whipped up into a self-righteous frenzy (then again, when is the Perpetual Outrage crowd ever *not*?) and they're all double-timing their defense of The Narrative on Twitter, Facebook, and so on. It's amusing and yet pathetic at the same time.
It's a good sign, though. The more these talentless imbeciles beclown themselves publicly, it's a step closer to public meltdowns which will hopefully send them back under the rocks they'd scurried out from under.

My opinion is that the DOW is not worth anymore than the bottom out price back in 2009 (about 8,000). If the Fed signals it will not raise the interest rate then maybe the fall will not happen.
Really though the stock market is a completely rigged game.
