However, I've read in several places that he always keeps the full Jack Sparrow costume with him so that he can dress up and do surprise visits to children's hospitals in character to cheer up the kiddos- and has apparently talked several of his Pirates co- stars into going with him- so I try to give him the benefit of the doubt since that garners a lot of decency credit in my book. Unless something horrific has come out about him I put him in the "Likely a moonbat, but basically a decent fellow" category.

...Socialism if done right is the best system...
----- No its not. Socialism ALWAYS fails. Do you have any idea why??? It's because the precepts of socialism goes against human nature. Its not in human nature to toil and work for the benefit of perfect strangers. People, by their very nature, want to enjoy the benefits of their efforts. The "giving and caring" nature of socialism isnt based on altruism.... it's based on coercion. The state steps in forces to do "good deeds". You know what else is in human nature???? The urge to resist and rebel against undo coercion. Rising coercion raises the populations resentment of it..... the rising resistance leads to a higher level of state coercion to enforce its doctrine.... so on and so forth. Your "system if done right" is done at the end of a barrel... because that's the only way it can be done. Posted by: fixerupper at September 16, 2015 10:03 AM (8XRCm) 225

Didn't Whataburger hop on board with the "Moms Demand" crowd and ban open carry from their restaurants?
Not that I recall. Whataburger has always been carry friendly. They have, on numerous occasions, asked pestiferous "Open Carry Texas" idiots (yeah, carrying your AR15 slung across your chest is a great way to win hearts and minds) to leave their weapons in cars. Once open carry kicks in (January, IIRC) here in TX, they have said they have no plans to ask anyone openly carrying a weapon to leave. That's the last I had heard, anyway.

Well... yes, but then again no. In theory, schools in Texas operate en loco parentis which means, during the school day, on school grounds, as long as your child is checked into school, school teachers and administrators count as your guardian. So a "parent" is not strictly required for the interview. Once he asked for his actual parent, though... that's a different story. I'm pretty sure at that point, unless they have a good reason that Dad shouldn't be brought in (and, "He'll tell his son to shut up, lawyer up, and sue our asses" is not a good reason), they're supposed to bring in Dad.

If they thought the kid might have brought a bomb to school, why would they do anything else than immediately evacuate the premises until the bomb squad got there? "Hey, that could be a bomb.

Dollhouse How about Gunslinger Girl?
I really wanted to like Gunslinger Girl but it seemed like they couldn't stick to their own fiction. Are they robots? Are they little girls that have been conditioned to be assassins?

Of course, he never spells out exactly how he'd do it, but if he took a page out of Teh Donald's book and basically said, "President Obama brags that he can do what he wants because he has a phone and a pen. I pledge to you that on the first day of my administration, I will use that pen to outlaw the IRS and the phone to issue an arrest warrant for Lois Lerner," he'd see a bump in the polls.

McConehead Plan = Republican leadership shitting their pants scared because they are beginning to realize that the base is pissed. So they are coming up with all kinds of squirrels to distract attention.
The problem is that anyone who has been following these events over the past 10 years recognizes this and discards it out of hand. Here is what it would take for me to reconsider the Republicans: evict McConehead, McCain, Graham and Corker from the Senate Remove Boner from Speaker of the House and replace him with a rock hard conservative from SC. Impeach the EPA thug for perjury. Hold Holder and Scankles in criminal contempt for the same and if the new AG refuses to impanel a GJ then impeach her to for failure to obey the law.

IIRC, in Dollhouse the story had the "dolls" (male and female) volunteering for the program. They were all emotionally damaged people who had nothing left to live for. So, technically not slaves, but techno-pimps taking advantage of vulnerable people with the promise of wiping away their bad memories (past and whatever they experience as dolls) and a big payday down the line.

Larry says that for a simple reason, it keeps your name out there. Traditional publishers have nixed any kind of money for promotion from contracts unless you fight for it, so the author has to on their own dime hit the con circuit and buy ads.

Russian state media have extolled the recent election of Jeremy Corbyn to the head of Britains Labour Party as the Kremlin continues to expand its influence among European political extremists.
Corbyn received nearly 60 percent of the votes in Saturdays leadership election for Labour, the major opposition party in Britain once led by Tony Blair. The left wing Member of Parliament has been critical of NATO and expressed opposition to imposing sanctions on Russia for its support of separatists in Ukraine. He also previously referred to members of the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah as friends when he welcomed them to Britain.

Build the Wall is just a phrase meaning "Secure the Border".
And to enable the laws and build the structures necessary to do that and then tell the DHS to enforce the laws. That will mean increasing stopping Anchor Baby's Jail space, Courts and also not waiting for countries to agree to take back their citizens. Put them on a plane and drop them off. Done and Done. Then once that's done and working, we can talk about recognizing the miscreants that are already here.

The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.The O nonimmigrant classification is commonly referred to as:
O-1A: individuals with an extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics (not including the arts, motion pictures or television industry) O-1B: individuals with an extraordinary ability in the arts or extraordinary achievement in motion picture or television industry O-2: individuals who will accompany an O-1, artist or athlete, to assist in a specific event or performance. For an O-1A, the O-2's assistance must be an "integral part" of the O-1A's activity. For an O-1B, the O-2's assistance must be "essential" to the completion of the O-1B's production. The O-2 worker has critical skills and experience with the O-1 that cannot be readily performed by a U.S. worker and which are essential to the successful performance of the O-1 O-3: individuals who are the spouse or children of O-1's and O-2's Posted by: undocumented at September 16, 2015 12:02 PM (e8kgV) 550

LOL. What blockade? MRC came out with a study today showing that 78% of CNN's coverage of this nomination process has been directly Trump, and the 22% that wasn't directly Trump has been mostly asking other candidates about Trump. I'm sure it is similarly "All Trump-all the time" with the other news outlets. They are actively promoting him as the face of the Republican party. He isn't "breaking though" anything, he's being actively assisted by the liberal media. Trump is who they want LIVs to think Republicans are. I know all the "true cons" would love to believe that their new champion has "defeated" the media embargo on their issue, but the numbers actually show that the media is collaborating with Trump to sell him to you.

Personally, I think he may have begun his run as a spoiler of some sort. Not to benefit the Dems but to shake up the GOPe. Once he took off and he gained traction, he changed his mind and decided to do it for reals. Either way he's shown these people in DC that people shouldn't have careers in campaign consulting and that the ones that do should have a track record of wins.

The optics of tearing families apart killed the crackdown of the polygamous compounds in Utah. People are still decent enough that seeing sobbing kids being led away stings. I still think the only available offense to that is fighting fire with fire: showing the crying kids that no longer have a mommy because mister illegal killed them.

Umm hello, but Cruz was talking about illegal immigration ever since he was elected, and it wasn't in terms of 'pathway to citizenship' either.
Cruz in 2013: "Providing a path to citizenship undermines the rule of law and is an insult to the millions who have immigrated to the U.S. legally." http://tinyurl.com/m8knk6t Posted by: chemjeff at September 16, 2015 12:13 PM (lVU49) 576

They'd find something/someone else to dance around. Besides, why do you care?

Krikorian had a good comment on NRO's Corner about the correct conservative answer (IMO) for the upcoming "gotcha" question about illegal immigration: basically, say that no discussion about what to do about illegals currently in the country will be entertained at all until the borders are secure.

More importantly, they were covering the overall field of candidates. Which has completely stopped. The media is all-in on Trump. He isn't "fighting them," he's part of them. Has been for decades. I'll give Bill Clinton credit. He sure knows the actual business of politics.

This reeks of desperation on your part. So promising to enact a reasonable policy that the electorate wants, instead of stabbing them in the back and telling them to f*ck off is ringing Pavlov's bell? You are using silly rhetoric in order to short circuit a discussion of the issue. It's like, if a candidate said he'd stop civil asset forfeiture, or stop the IRS from targeting conservatives, you'd try to discredit any surge in popularity on the grounds that the candidate is merely causing the right wing to salivate like Pavlov's dog, soiling themselves with excitement that a candidate might actually support ethical measures rather than fucking us over yet again. You need to start discussing the actual specific issues Trump is raising, rather than trying to short circuit such discussion and instead trot out various vague purple-prosy conspiracy theories.

"Would we need tens of thousands of judges to accommodate all the

Attempting anything like what Trump is advocating would involve a massive increase in the size of the part of DHS that deals with immigration, and would be tied up for years, and years, and years, and years in the courts. That's why seeing otherwise reasonable people fall for this adolescent fantasizing is so frustrating. Posted by: trumpetdaddy at September 16, 2015 12:34 PM (ljZD2) 650
I like Cruz for some of what he's said and done.
I'm having trouble with his delivery though. His ponderous pauses, slow talk and the appearance that he's getting paid by the hour. Not as energetic in the last debate as I thought he would be. I personally hope Fiorina gets blown off the stage tonight. I was eager for her to rise in the polls until I actually stopped and read about what she stood for and what she's done in the past.

Here we go again...we can't deport anyone because then we'll need judges. We can't deport 11M people because it's impossible to deport every single one.
All the same version of "deporting people is hard and will cost money so instead let's do nothing". I can see you people in 1942..."go to war against Germany? Aww man that's shit gonna be hard and cost a lot of money. And we won't win 100% of the battles you know? So it's best to just not even try".

Several candidates have already proposed exactly those things. Rand Paul, anyone? No. I use the language I do about Trump's appeal because of what Trump is intended to do to the Republican primary process by those who are pushing him in the media. There are two responses to deal with being jacked this way by the media/DNC complex. Accept that you are having someone attempting to jack you, and resist it.

Absofreakinlutely. The "electability" card would be played again as well. The entire 2016 primary was configured to ensure that Jeb Bush would receive the nomination.

You mean the Congress that has more conservatives from more districts elected today than ever? Does that mean they get everything they want all the time and get to piss all over the leadership? No, because adults don't do shit like that. How about all the state legislatures where conservative laws are being passed every day? Are they being "shut out?" Or this presidential field, which is the strongest and most conservative field since Reagan was running for re-election by himself. Most of these guys were being slobbered over by the regulars on this board for how awesome they were as conservatives for months before Trump showed up. Are they all-of-a-sudden not accomplished conservatives now? Who, exactly, is being "shut out?" Immigration extremists? Yeah, them.

The Icelandic capital of Reykjavik has announced that it will boycott all products made in Israel "as long as the occupation of Palestinian territories continues."
The boycott not does limit itself to Judea and Samaria, but instead targets all of Israel. An explanatory memorandum claims that it is merely a symbolic gesture, though, and there is no list of specific Israel companies or products included. Björk Vilhelmsdóttir, an outgoing councilwomen representing the Social Democratic Alliance, introduced the bill. This is expected to be her last major action as part of the city council. Vilhelmsdóttir says, "I believe that the city is sending a clear message that it will not purchase Israel products as long as Israel oppresses another people on the basis of their ethnicity and race, and the continued existence of a wall within Palestine." A spokesperson for the Israeli foreign minister responded by stating that "a volcano of hatred has erupted in the Reykjavik City Council building. For no reason or justification, aside from pure hatred, there are calls to boycott the State of Israel. We hope that someone in Iceland will come to their senses and stop the one-sided blindness against the State of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East." Israel is the only country being boycotted by Reykjavik, a point that some claim is unconstitutional. A local lawyer, Einar Gautur Steingrímsson, argued in an article on visir.is news site that the city has no place making foreign policy decisions. He also added, "This is as illegal as refusing to do business with red haired people and it makes no difference whether they justify their decision with references to some alleged actions by the Israelis."

It's why they started screaming bloody murder when Jeb dropped 8 points and couldn't get arrested for dancing naked on stage. (if we could wake him up from his torpor). they planned on getting to the nomination without the base so they could give the finger to the base. their plan failed. Which is why Kristol is out there crying and moaning about how he's going 3rd party. I'm just surprised they haven't started saying they're moving to Canada if Trump wins.

Nine months into an effort to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels to fight against Islamic State militants, U.S. defense officials acknowledged that they have only four or five on the battlefield now and only a few dozen more on the way.
The statement drew gasps and laughs of horror from members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, and a swift indictment of President Obamas foreign policy from several Republicans on the panel. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Christine Wormuth acknowledged that there have been setbacks along the way in the U.S. response in the region, but insisted that progress has been slow but steady.

There is so much graft in DC even the local teacher's union prez. was caught embezzling millions from union dues. You'd think someone might have wondered how a local union prez could afford 20+ fur coats, ST. John suits and a variety of wigs.

Correction.
Via the Cato Institute, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, Washington D.C. schools per pupil/per year expenditure: $29,409.00 This is total dollars spent divided by the number of students.

Who, exactly, is being "shut out?" Immigration extremists? Yeah, them.
The "deport them all today" crowd is a minority of a minority of a minority. If your particular pet cause is being ignored perhaps you should consider that it is for a good reason. Yes, if you love America and want it not to be turned into a south american socialist shithole you're a tiny minority of a minority and there's no reason your opinion should ever count for anything. So sit down, and shut up all you pathetic loser proles. And pay no attention to the fact that your guy in the race is completely obliterating all the candidates of respectable real people.

Posted by: jwest at September 16, 2015 12:57 PM (Zs4uk) The problem is -- and I have some experience with this -- what happens is when these vouchers get created, a ton of wealthy cronies jump in to get grants to set up charter schools / private schools to take advantage of said vouchers and the new influx of students looking to utilize their vouchers. And of course the charter schools end up just as shittily managed and run as the public schools, and essentially act as money laundering schemes to give donors / cronies money from the public treasury.

"... when these vouchers get created, a ton of wealthy cronies jump in to get grants to set up charter schools / private schools to take advantage of said vouchers and the new influx of students looking to utilize their vouchers. "
My plan with the $25,000 vouchers was always the complete elimination of public schools in the targeted cities. On top of that, I proposed this plan for Detroit with the option that the voucher could be used for home schooling, provided the student pass a test each year. As I said at the time, if this plan was instituted, it would be next to impossible to purchase a home in Detroit within a short period of time. The city would be repopulated almost immediately and through the natural order of gentrification, it would be one the best places to live within a year or two.

To clarify on Freedom Munitions 230 grain .45: it's $331.92 after shipping.
Now, I've never shot it, but I've never had a problem with any of the thousands of .40 I've shot from them. I haven't had great luck with their 9mm, but it's fine for practice ammo. Thanks to advice from the Moron's, I'll probably start reloading towards the end of this year when I join a new range where I can save my brass, but for now, these guys are pretty good.

Nine months into an effort to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels to fight against Islamic State militants, U.S. defense officials acknowledged that they have only four or five on the battlefield now and only a few dozen more on the way.
The statement drew gasps and laughs of horror from members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, and a swift indictment of President Obamas foreign policy from several Republicans on the panel. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Christine Wormuth acknowledged that there have been setbacks along the way in the U.S. response in the region, but insisted that progress has been slow but steady.

I don't get the support for Carson.
Someone yesterday referred to him a Dr. Colin Powell. His positions *in this campaign* are establishment-y or to the left of that, and maybe he'll do something on Obamacare. And he doesn't have any semblance of "Trump, smash" going on. He's just 'nice'. Which apparently has a constituency. I don't get it, but they're there.

About that minority of a minority of minority of a minority immigration extremists. There was a poll done that gave respondents 7 choices, ranging from the ultra hard line to full open borders lunacy.
Deport them all NOW and stop ALL immigration, legal and illegal gets 24.4%. Your minority of a minority is about 1/4 of the population. Deport all illegals and allow only a small number of highly skilled legal immigration to continue gets you 13.8%. That gives us 38.2% that want to deport all illegals. Yep, that's a real minority. Now, next step, secure the damn border for real and admit no one else but skilled immigrants and you get another 17%. You now have a fucking majority that basically agrees with Trumpus Maximus. How much does Open Borders Uber Alles get you? 4.7%. The Trump position is the mainstream position. The elite position is the minority of a minority of a minority.

"Yeah... but don't even get me started on the Navy's 'Force for Good' crap...."
The head of recruiting for the USN admitted that the "Global Force For Good" came out of their focus groups with millennials. The special snowflakes like the whole see-the-world and wear-spiffy-uniforms stuff, and they like the action-adventure part with submarines and jets and stuff, but the war-and-killing bit? SUCH a buzzkill. So you see all this stuff in commercials about the Navy delivering humanitarian aid in the Third World. Going to be a real surprise for the snowflakes once they're haze gray and underway, and they realize that there are people out there in places like the PRC who are intent on the whole war-and-killing bit. Killing _them_ personally with weapons specifically designed for the job. Posted by: torquewrench at September 16, 2015 01:39 PM (noWW6) 985

Last night's Drunk History was in New Orleans.
One story was about Jean Lafitte the pirate. What ruined it for me was that all I could think of was the bar "Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop" in NoLa, which is famous for being a bar without power. The only problem with this? It has those stupid iced drink machines behind the bar. So basically, I'm sitting in the dark like a rube drinking stupid expensive beer in the heat.

Heh. Reminds me of when I was working for an international co. in DC - we had people from all over the world working in our office. Some event happened and we were forced to attend a full-day "Diversity Training"....which consisted solely of discussion about black/white relations. All of the foreigners who've had their own cultural sh%t to deal with (South Africans, Irish, Europeans and Africans who have spent years working in Saudi Arabia and Dubai, etc.) scratching their head asking "so when do we get to the "diverse" part of this training?"

Unless Ahmed (sp?) the clock maker is a African American, I don't think you can call it "race baiting" as Muslims aren't a race, but it is whatever equivalent "religion baiting" is. I wouldn't be surprised if the day he leaves office, Barack Hussein Obama doesn't hoist an Muslim flag above the WH and say "Allahu Akbhar" as he leaves on Air Force One.

Barky talks economics:
"There's not a country out there, including China, that wouldn't look at us with envy right now," Obama told members of the Business Roundtable in Washington. "Our problem is not that China will out negotiate us or [Russian President Vladimir] Putin will out-strategize us. Anybody take a look at the Russian economy lately? That's not our problem. Our problem is us, typically." Barky, I agree. The problem is you and your administration. Posted by: The Great White Snark at September 16, 2015 01:48 PM (XUKZU) 1025
