On this day in 1911 Chevrolet officially entered the automobile market in competition with Ford. This sparked a rivalry that continues to this day.

However, it was fortunate that the police had left the dash cam on and recorded the whole thing. They had stopped her and cautioned her to walk on the side of the road as she had been strolling blithely down the center of the road without a care in the world. http://fxn.ws/1WvxZus Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:06 AM (t2KH5) 6 I will go awaken the others, what few may be there. Posted by: Gmac - IP banned at home - #twoweeks at November 03, 2015 06:06 AM (4pjhs) 7 Obama really is a stupid SOB: President Obama mocked Republican presidential candidates for demanding a series of changes to the format of their televised debates, saying they would not be able to deal with Russia or China if they can't handle a bunch of CNBC moderators. Oh how he would scream if a news organization treated him the way NBC treated the Republicans instead of constantly kissing his ass. And it appears to me that the candidates are able to deal with NBC's crap, they refuse to hold any more debates with them. http://fxn.ws/1l5u644 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:06 AM (t2KH5) 8 O'Turd's latest foray into pen and phone has directed all federal departments to remove the requirement for disclosing a criminal record from federal job application forms. So I guess the feds will have to spend millions getting all their forms revised. Yes, he is stupid. http://fxn.ws/1MdOZUM Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:06 AM (t2KH5) 9 Two corrupt VA officials took the 5th amendment when questioned about their job manipulation to enhance their benefits. Rubens, director of the Philadelphia regional office for the Veterans Benefits Administration, and Graves, director of the St. Paul, Minnesota regional office for the VBA, face possible criminal prosecution Never happen while Obama is President. And I would lay odds that will not even be fired. If these two clowns had been working for my old company they would already be on the street. http://fxn.ws/1izxuST Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:06 AM (t2KH5) 10 The EPA has charged Volkswagen with cheating on emissions test software on a bunch of additional vehicles. http://fxn.ws/1izxuST Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:06 AM (t2KH5) 11 The corrupt Obamanite government tried to punish schools in NH for opting out of the stupid Mooch lunch program by threatening to reclassify the schools as a food processing plant subject to massive federal regulation. After being exposed by the media the thugs backed off. http://fxn.ws/1Q2UtEn Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:07 AM (t2KH5) 12 A leaked Obama document reveals that the corrupt Obama plans on ignoring the court ordered injunction on his illegal amnesty. Recall his lawyers have already been chastised by the judge for continuing to let in illegals after the court order. The problem is that the judge has not thrown any of Obama's senior executives in jail for contempt yet. I think it is past time. Once again imagine the outcry from the MFM if a Republican had flaunted the law like this. The calls for impeachment would be deafening. But for Obama it is "off the table". http://bit.ly/1H0JWqn Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:07 AM (t2KH5) 13 Besides amnesty Obama is defying congress on his negotiations for the global warming scam. http://bit.ly/1OIUtZK Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:07 AM (t2KH5) 14 US satellite detected a "heat flash" over the Sinai desert when the Russian aircraft went down. http://cbsn.ws/20phVzr Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:07 AM (t2KH5) 15 The pope is now arresting people for leaks of his controversial stuff and opposition to it from the Vatican priests. http://on.ft.com/1H1s0Mb Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:08 AM (t2KH5) 16 "Peaceful" Ferguson protestor arrested for arson and other charges.

Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at November 03, 2015 06:16 AM (HMt16) 30 Liberal sister was watching a documentary recently on PBS (of course) about the Orson Wells radio broadcast of War of the Worlds and the panic it caused. This is the first she has heard about it in her 50+ years on this planet so of course she posts about it on Hatebook about how dangerous media manipulation can be and, of course, how stupid Americans are. Let me emphasize, this is the first she has heard about an event that has been written about, discussed and analyzed endlessly for the past 70 years, she is just hearing about it on PBS which makes her smart as she hints in her post about it and the rest of us are the stupid ones. Fing incredible. Posted by: George Orwell de Leon at November 03, 2015 06:16 AM (1BQGO) 31 23 Stupid question. Military recruitment....

I have one of those too. Worse yet, one of those wealthy, socialism for thee but never for me types. She's easily the most successful of all my sibs. We made a solemn vow years ago to not discuss politics, period and we've mostly kept to it for many years. I do admire her success. She did it all on her own. We don't come from money and she didn't marry into it. She worked her way up the corporate ladder on her own.

It's a plan we may truly need: The�Post�quotes NASA as stating there's a 12% chance of a giant solar flare in the next 10 years.'' I think their math needs checking, or somebody put the decimal point in the wrong place. I'd estimate odds, based on hundred plus year history at 1.2%. Sure, there could be a giant solar flare, but we're zipping along at about 70, 000 mph, not exactly a sitting duck. That being said, there could be better overload protection of the grid against the almost inevitable Iranian emp. .

Leofb Posted by: teej at November 03, 2015 06:24 AM (1Zi6N) 38 The calls for impeachment would be deafening. But for Obama it is "off the table". Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:07 AM* It will be interesting to see the reaction of the GOPe "media" to this. Seems quite possible they will pay no attention, being totally focused on the Eeeeeevils Who Must Be Destroyed that are Shrillery and Teh Donald. Since calling for Choom Boy's impeachment -- IMO, given his felony count, we should skip straight to "arrest" -- would violate the off-the-table pledge taken by members of Conservative Journolist (they know who they are) I expect the loudest noise will be some polite tut-tutting, perhaps accompanied by mild hand-wringing. Posted by: MrScribbler at November 03, 2015 06:27 AM (qiCMH) 39 NASA hasn't been worth a shit in decades. They became a political organization long ago and with a Grade "A" asshole in charge their politics is lacking. We are at the point where we need to eliminate NASA and turn over space stuff to the Air Force where it used to be. And then fire everybody in NASA.

Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at November 03, 2015 06:20 AM (HMt16) Ditto. Lib sister is very successful and hardworking. Easily in the 2% but spews all the OWS hate about the 1%. Apparently the cutoff point for greed is slightly more than whatever she is earning. Also Joe six-pack owning a bass boat to go fishing on weekends is a huge waste of energy and resources but flying around the country 10 time a year to hippie music festivals is her just reward for her hard work.

Unfortunately, a one year old child was hit and killed when a vehicle fleeing from police knocked another car into the baby carriage. And investigative reporting shows a trend of Hospital ER wait times increasing again. Despite ObamaCare being intended to amongst other things, cause wait times to decrease.

Near-term predictions call for continued dry weather and slightly above-average temps. Guess I shouldn't complain, as we had well over 110 inches of snow last winter.

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at November 03, 2015 06:34 AM (VPLuQ) It was supposed to lesson wait times by giving free health care to the FSA so they would not use the ER for normal health services. But as we have seen it is only "free" for Obama's chosen people. The rest of the people who don't get it free had their costs increased and have moved back to the ER. I have had my experience with "wait times" in the ER when I had my heart attack. The ER was full of migrants from South of the border getting free health care. Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:38 AM (t2KH5) 48 If Obama had instituted O'care for all from Day One, it would have hit the shitcan years ago.

Posted by: Grey Fox at November 03, 2015 06:56 AM (bZ7mE) 62 So the president who whines about FOX News thinks the Republican candidates can't handle the CNBC moderators? He must not have been paying attention - the candidates handled the moderators very successfully. The issue is having debates that benefit the primary voters by allowing the candidates to state their positions on various issues, rather than having debates that create soundbites for Dems to use against Republicans.

MoonBat Commentater decried the attitude of only wanting single families living in the houses in the neighborhood as not all creative and blended families can afford a house on their own and may need to bunch together to enjoy the suburban lifestyle. I looked up Ms. MoonBat. She's the wife of my next door neighbor. He's a good guy but she creatively spelled her first name on NextDoor so I didn't recognize it right off. Wave and smile.

Recall his lawyers have already been chastised by the judge for continuing to let in illegals after the court order. The problem is that the judge has not thrown any of Obama's senior executives in jail for contempt yet. I think it is past time. Once again imagine the outcry from the MFM if a Republican had flaunted the law like this. The calls for impeachment would be deafening. But for Obama it is "off the table". http://bit.ly/1H0JWqn Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 03, 2015 06:07 AM (t2KH5)" What Vic has said here is actually the key strategy. Yes. Hillary is too big to jail. So is Obama. Since they are untouchable, stop trying to prosecute them for giving illegal orders. Prosecute the people who obey the illegal orders. They are not too big to jail. When federal employees are afraid that they will go to jail or at least be fired and loose their pensions if they follow illegal orders, fewer illegal orders will be issued and obeyed.

We get to enjoy filthy racist types who have posted black panther wannabes at election sites in town to harass and intimidate the undesirably melanin deficient. And Savannah isn't generally like that in most places but election time brings out the worst in desperate rabble raisers who have no skill sets but leaching from the tax base. In their interviews with the local rag they all talk about how eager they are to get their hands on SPLOST and all the wonderful things they plan to do with SPLOST. After a few nights with hookers and blow you feel really SPLOST and that's where my money goes, to their crony friends to invest in hookers and blow. The local government is corrupt as can be but not a single candidate ever says, "hey, maybe this whole SPLOST tax grab is the reason for the corruption". Their all, "PICK ME! PICK ME! I'N NEXT!". But I'll vote, write in a few names of people that are decent but were forced out, a few that aren't perfect but better and at the end of the day see that nothing changed.

The realization hit me on November 7, 2012. It is not going to get better again after Obama is gone. The same people who reelected him will still be the majority of the population and the millions or illegally admitted but newly registered voters are even more enthusiastic to recreate the banana republics they came from. Posted by: Obnoxious A-Hole at November 03, 2015 07:52 AM I "woke up to this" in 2008. Earlier, actually. I remember the Clinton era. And -- though some staunch Republicans still disagree with me -- the Nixon years. And LBJ. But Choom Boy has brought the American system to a new low, in which a nation that was founded to live in freedom now willingly accepts rule-by-thug. One reason for punishment being included in the law codes is to remind those of weak character that crime does not pay. We've turned that notion completely on its head. Too many cheer the most egregious lawbreaker in D.C. while still paying lip service to the idea of America. Impeachment might not hurt President Historic First as much as I'd like, but it would serve as a wake-up call to those who think of following in his corrupt footsteps.

Sometimes, the social justice episodes were so inept, they ended up making the opposite of the point they intended. The Next Generation's single most boringest episode ever, The Outcast, was an hour-long lecture on LGBT issues, that, oddly enough, ended with the "homosexual" alien being cured through psychological treatment. Or Voyager's single-payer health care propaganda piece, "Critical Care," in which a state-run medical system gave the rich and elite top-shelf treatment while letting the poor suffer and die.

Posted by: Pappy O'Daniel at November 03, 2015 08:11 AM I don't think so. IMO, there's a line -- albeit sometimes a fine one -- between being a Real Leader and heading a personality cult. The former encourages people to do things (hopefully, the right things) while the latter mesmerizes them. It's a difficult concept to define. I guess the best I can do is point up the contrast in "leadership" between Ike and Choom Boy.

There's a scene near the beginning, just after Saavik has failed the Kobiyashi Maru test, where either she and Spock or Kirk and Spock (I forget) are talking, and in the background is a fellow with a floor buffer cleaning the Academy floors. I immediately thought, "if there's no money in the Federation, why is this guy doing such a menial job?" It's like the old joke about the worst job on a starship is to be the guy who has to squeegee the holodeck - if the economy runs without money, how do people survive and how do you get people to do the jobs Terrans won't do?

While she made some CEO calls that are controversial for some, I don't hold that against her. What I want to know, clearly spoken - is where she stands on H1B visas, illegal aliens, and border security. Where does she stand on the hoax of AGW?

I think Houston needs to turn a moral, ethical and social corner in how the disadvantaged are treated!! Number 1 in sex trafficking and animal abuse! There is a DIRECT connection between animal abuse and abuse of people, we can all work together. I say spend 50M, build the best shelter, refuge, animal and care centers in the country!"

The plane sat around on some 180 degree runway for too long, then shot up into below freezing temperatures too quickly. Now they had to climb fast to cruising altitude quickly to get out of range of terrorist missiles. Being the mideast and all. It's going to be an interesting investigation.

Posted by: Anna Puma at November 03, 2015 08:37 AM (L/cgw) 249 CBS News' national security correspondent David Martin reports a U.S. infrared satellite detected a heat flash over the Sinai at the time the Russian plane went down. The data is still being analyzed in an effort to determine what caused the flash. One possibility is a bomb, but an explosion in a fuel tank or engine as the result of a mechanical failure is also possible. Some aviation experts raised the possibility that a bomb on board the Metrojet Airbus A321-200 brought it down, while others cited an incident in 2001 when the aircraft grazed the runway with its tail while landing.

Fuji. Some 12,000 flights prior it had suffered a tail strike on landing that damaged the aft pressure bulkhead. The repair carried out by Boeing was done incorrectly, the patch panels were only riveted using a single line of rivets instead of the required two lines. So as the 747 climbed to altitude the aft pressure bulkhead finally failed. The sudden decompression blew almost the whole vertical stabilizer off and destroyed all the flight control hydraulics. Amazingly when rescuers finally arrived, there were still four people alive out of the 500 or so on board. Posted by: Anna Puma at November 03, 2015 08:42 AM (L/cgw) 261 "Stupid question.

On the contrary, I think the existence of insurance actually drives up the price of care. My primary care physician charges $800 for annual physical.

On the first supposedly-real Anonymous list (which is apparently only emails and phone numbers at this point), the FIRST item is: "invisibleempireofalabama@gmail.com" This is news. The guy using "invisibleempireofalabama@gmail.com" is, get this, a Klansman. You hear that, everybody? The owner of "invisibleempireofalabama@gmail.com" is in the Klan. Whoopdie-fucking-do.

Posted by: Pappy O'Daniel at November 03, 2015 09:11 AM (oVJmc) 309 Drudge Headline--- "Climate Change" kills mood: Economists warn of less sex on warmer planet. So funny, i don't know where to start. Maybe the joke about how much sex economists get in an ideal climate. How about pointing out what the birth rates are in the warmer climates of the world compared to those less warm..... Doesn't really seem like the tropical turd-worlders are having a tough time keeping their numbers up. Warmists really are at the "say anything' point to sell their issue I guess. Posted by: OneEyedJack, looking for minions to rule at November 03, 2015 09:12 AM (kKHcp) 310 I confess to the guilty pleasure of watching the imitation-TOS series Star Trek Continues. Mostly, it's fun to see James Doohan's son playing Scotty. The fourth episode (I think) starts off with Kirk getting a brain disease and being cured of it (instant cures a specialty!) using an experimental non-approved drug. (Take THAT, FDA!) Kirk then remembers a gal that Spock had mind-melded him to "forget... forget...." So instead of watching the Continues episode, we hauled out the original - "Requiem for Methuselah." I thought I had all the old ones memorized, from back in the college days when we got them from three different TV stations. But apparently I had blocked this one out, alllll out. Boy, was it bad! Kirk falls in love with an android within about five minutes. I mean love, not his usual lust. Then he and the Lazarus Long character - the andorid gal's "father/lover" (!!) physically wrestle over her and she dies because love. Made me not want to watch the follow-up Continues episode now. Did they ever do a real "wagon train to the stars" episode (as Roddenberry sold it to the network)? I can't think of one. Those old half-hour westerns used to have some great tales. The lost art of TV drama. Posted by: mindful webworker - beyond the farthest star at November 03, 2015 09:14 AM (dLr9j) 311 >>>>My Obamacare policy is going up from $77/month to $165/month next year. (Having said that, I must note that it will still be better and less expensive insurance than what I had before Obamacare.) Healthcare prices are just insanely out of control, and I doubt that any insurance regime can help control them. On the contrary, I think the existence of insurance actually drives up the price of care. My primary care physician charges $800 for annual physical. That consists of one minute of auscultation, and nine minutes of typing (actually copying-and-pasting) sh!t on a computer. That kind of price-gouging is the norm, and it is the very root of the problem. . . .I get my Nexium through Kroger using TRICARE from my Retired Navy and I just got a "statement" from them. Kroger charges $800 for a 90 day supply of Nexium and TRICARE actually paid them $600 of that, they pay Kroger $2,400 a year just for my Nexium. That is criminally insane. I can go to COSTCO or Sam's Club and get the very same thing for $48 for 90 pills. The whole thing is a huge scheme and everybody from the Federal Government on down through the Insurance Companies and drug makers are in on it. Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at November 03, 2015 09:19 AM (iONHu) 312 FenelonSpoke, if you're still around: I was just kinda joking about getting depressed. I highly value Vic's news. And views. The cynics and curmudgeons don't bother me - and often they have some great points to make behind the cloud of Doom. I also greatly appreciate your upbeat stuff, and just because it may not get the same response as downbeat news, don't think you aren't read and appreciated. Sometimes there's just less to be said to the good things. Tolkien had a line about that, sorta. In any case, sounds a little like you're letting the snark and grump get you down. That's worrisome, since you are the official beacon of light around here. Have a chocolate chip cookie, ponder Jesus saying what does it matter to a believer if the whole world should pass away (where is that, I want to find the verse), smile a big smile, then plow on through the mud like it's fun. And I'll try to take my own advice on that. Posted by: mindful webworker - coffee must've kicked in at November 03, 2015 09:27 AM (dLr9j) 313 FenelonSpoke: P.S. Thanks, MWW for your righteous rant on morality, yesterday, MWW. You're a good man! Naw. But I play one on AoSHQ.

LED/super bright traffic lights, needless warning lights around turns, extra/stupid signs for every church and every residence of a deaf or retarded kid, zebra sidewalk stripes, extra-ugly new bright yellow lines on any road over 20 mph, bumpy "weatherproof" ramps on every sidewalk? Its not just that they "waste" money, but the money they spend makes things actively worse --because all the "standards" and "codes" are written by do-nothing, teat sucking bureaucrats with "mo safety" in mind, who care nothing about the look and feel of a city. Happy election day! Posted by: Ex NYC Peasant at November 03, 2015 12:47 PM (3Rr8K) 320 What's this crap about no money in ST? "The Trouble With Tribbles": "The price is 20 credits." I read that to mean that all exchanges on major Federation world's and bases are done electronically, with a credit card. Just like most transactions today. Maybe the more primitive world's used items as a medium of exchange.
