51 Once again seeing the posts and comments of people know utterly dismays me. A typically hip, well educated young woman started a thread about a NYT article on transgenders and bathrooms. She admitted it would make her feeling unforgettable with "her" in the same locker room. Then goes on to confess and discuss how awful she feels for having these biases and invites comments from others. Of course liberal lunacy ensues as one after another fall over themselves to show their openness and acceptance of insanity, and how the rest of the world should too. Another acquaintance of mine, a recent father discuses how he will teach his children early about gender. Also, get this :

" I could envision some sort of Dept of Ed program that would have to qualify
students for transgender acceptance. From there it is a teaching
process."

Supposedly intelligent people that just love freedom so much they want a govt program to shove transgender acceptance down their kids (and everybody elses) throat. F*ing incredible the insanity that is sweeping this nation.

52 This morning news is plain weird.

There was a scrum of reporters around Ben Carson citing inconsistencies in his book and how his friends don't remember him being all stabby.

He said, "that was when I was 14, and then I changed, and those people you interviewed met me after that". It went on with them questioning the stabby story and then...

"When I threw the rock that broke someone's glasses I was, um, 7 or so. I went after my mother with a hammer when I was about 13..."

It was hilarious watching him defend the fact that he'd done things. They also went after him for using pseudonyms for the people he'd hurt back then, as if no one does that.

He should have said that stabby boy was a composite.

The progs are stepping up their attacks and are planning on soaking then destroying the oil companies. Exxon-is their first target based on some obscure memos from 40 years ago before the climate warming hoax science was even established. The New York AG is going to make a test case to get things rolling. Also, one of the new themes of the Sanders campaign is a law that prohibits new oil lease on federal lands, no exceptions. I'm sure there will also be a pogrom to help the many thousands of well paid workers in the oil industry transition to the many green jobs that will be available any day now (like caulking windows)

The left has gone on a rampage. They are flooding the country with third world poverty and destroying the economy simultaneously. Remember the comments a few months ago about having reached peak left insanity? Nope. We aren't even close yet.

83 >>>A lot of communities have local codes that will take care of stuff like
that w/o having to have a HOA that turns into a busy-body. I know even
the little southern town near where I live has a code that call for
people to maintain their lot in a clean and orderly manner. And if they
don't the city can clean it up and charge the owner for the work.
.
.
.We have that where I live in Kentucky, but it has issues also. One property that is a huge problem has taken over 18 months for the Town to even start leveling fines, let alone going in and bulldozing the place. That's going to take at least six months or more to get done, and then the Town is on the hook for all of the $$$ because the property owner is broke.

84 I had a run in with my HOA years ago. They wrote me a letter announcing their intention of fining me for possessing an illegal cat. It seems a worker standing on the roof of my garage had believed he saw a cat while peering into my daughters room. My lawyer wrote a classic letter back saying, essentially, "before we discuss this hypothetical cat we would like to understand if the employee peeping tom was acting on his own or at your direction?".

That was a fun negotitation.

.

.That's exactly what they are doing here but they have to follow State Laws which is what is taking the time. Once that is done they will put the property up for auction but I doubt they will get any buyers. The house will be condemned most likely and will have to be torn down. It isn't a huge lot and I doubt anyone who buys it will actually be able to make any money in the long run, so the Town will have to suck it up, tear the house down and take ownership of the property.

113 What is it that Palestinians don't want the world to see on the Temple Mount?

To end the hysteria that's fueling Arab attacks on Israeli civilians, the United States, Jordan and Israel agreed to put cameras on the Temple Mount -- a site holy to both Jews and Muslims -- and monitor activity there. Secretary of State John Kerry called the idea "a game-changer."

Then the Palestinian Authority came out against the cameras.

Why? Well, Palestinians claim Israel is taking over the site and barring Muslims from it. Cameras would expose those vile, incendiary lies -- and also show Palestinians assaulting Israelis and smuggling rocks and pipebombs into the al-Aqsa Mosque there.

The PA all but admits it: It says Israel will use the video to "arrest Palestinians under the pretext of incitement." Pretext? As Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh notes, the PA and others have hired thugs to harass Jewish visitors and police at the site.

Cameras will "expose" this "aggressive behavior," Toameh writes. They'll "show the world who is really 'desecrating' the Islamic holy sites" and using them to attack Jews.

They'll also "refute the claim that Jews are 'violently invading' al-Aqsa Mosque and holding prayers at the Temple Mount," he adds. Because Jews are doing no such thing.

Let everyone see reality, and you'd wreck the charade that's fueled the violence. No wonder Israel wants the cameras pronto.

124 Wife's family is from a Mennonite enclave. They have there what outsiders call the "Mennonite Mafia." If you let your property get seedy, neighbors will offer to help clean things up. If you deny their assistance, an informal sub-committee of city fathers offers to buy your place, with a bid just above the tax valuation. If you refuse that, there is no flurry of court orders and zoning notices. You just gradually find it more difficult to do business around town. You're...shunned.

I haven't yet seen one of these cases get to the barn-burning stage. Could happen.

I hate to believe it, but they changed rules last year to keep out insurgent candidates like Cruz & a few others from winning.

137 I continue to wonder what it would be like to once again have a free press that actually did their jobs instead of being a mere propaganda arm. If anyone still manages to believe that there is no bias in the media, all one has to do to prove it is to compare and contrast the coverage of the phony campus rape epidemic with the real rape rampage in Sweden, Germany, England, etc. In one narrative, nasty little college womynz get to ruin the lives of young men just by making weird little outcries. In the actual case of women and children being raped either by a single Muslim perpetrator or gang raped by a group of Muslims, those rapes just disappear and the victims are left bleeding in their hearts, souls, and minds. But, perhaps, the worst aspect of the Muslim rape rampage in Europe is the fact that it just reinforces what they have been taught by their religion--that they have the right to rape infidels.

158 The HOA thing with the Christmas display also highlights something I've noticed in this life. Go only with your strong arguments and leave the weak ones out. The weak ones will undermine your strong ones.

The HOA's lawyer action letter did not mention anything about possibly offending non-Christians with the display. The previous warning letter from the HOA Board itself did and look what got played up in the article.

161 When we built our house there was an HOA and some kind of rules about what color the houses had to be. The builder who owned the lots went bankrupt. We painted our shutters an unauthorized color and got a snippy letter from some idiot. My wife took the letter to her assistant's cousin, who works for the city attorney. He wrote a letter to the idiot saying "the HOA is defunct since it is bankrupt via its owner and only city housing regs and laws apply now so PAINT AWAY!" The strange thing is you can't even see our house from the street so how they knew we had painted anything was a matter of trespassing. This was years ago and we now have some zany architect's nightmare houses. One looks like a grouping of pagodas sitting next to GWTW Tara sitting next to a spaceship hovering next to a small steel foundry. Everyone in the neighborhood has bad taste including us but we have really big yards with woods so we can't see each other.

166 122 Part of the neighborhood where I live is an HOA. We live in a house that was one of the first dozen or so built in our subdivision. Just down the street from our house the HOA starts and you really can't tell much of a difference except we can have boats parked in our driveways and people in the HOA can't.



For all of the people whining about how bad HOA's are, you haven't seen shit until you run across a city zoning code enforcement officer that would make a Gestapo officer blush.

We had one that would park his city truck in the alley, and stand in the bed to look over the six foot privacy fences.

The only reason I'd ever change my name was if I was leaving the country and suspicious that there'd be an effort by some future ruling regime to track me down for doing so. Wouldn't be the first time my family did something like that.

Leaving Vic out of it (he knows better), one of the things that grinds on me incessantly is the chatter from so-called "conservative" pundits that when someone who claims to be some kind of Republican wins an election, it is somehow a finger in the eye for Choom Boy. The Witches of Salem like to say that kinda stuff.

The actual truth -- as anyone who looks at Drudge's headlines this morning -- is that the Mocha Messiah and his myrmidons have achieved damn near total victory over America.

Those of us calling for his impeachment back in '09 didn't try had enough to out-shout the "impeachment is off the table" crowd. We're now paying for that.

It's kind of a toss-up between Carson, Trump, and Cruz with me right now. Each has some pretty strong qualifications, but also has some pretty strong warning flags.

Carson's is that I worry about him with regard to immigration, which is the must-win issue. The flood has to stop before the waters can be drained. Trump's is pretty obvious, he's quite possibly more opportunist than true believer, thus has a chance of going rogue. Cruz might already be rogue, his record was flawless until TPP, but his support for it has really made me worry about him.

Hardwood is nice but for a kitchen floor it has a lot of minuses. It can scratch, dent, show wear from traffic patterns, is slippery when wet, and - depending on finish -- can easily stain.

I'll take a good old-fashioned slate floor with none of those issues. In the proverbial battle of pickle jar vs slate, after ten years, pickle jar has yet to score a victory.

280 An extract from Noonan's new book, from CNN article on the book titled

An old-fashioned childhood: Nobody killed us

Here's an excerpt:

People don't feel that so much anymore, and it's a real loss. (It is right here to note that life would not have been so safe for a little girl and an old woman of color; the world might not have been so kind. But the larger point, that everyone was at least a little safer, I think maintains.) Sophisticated Europe, I learned years later, had looked at our culture -- its blandness, its innocence, its babyish assumption that the good would triumph -- and saw it a culture of children. We were more appropriately understood as a culture for children. And you know, that's not the worst thing.

Here is my concern. There are not fewer children living stressed, chaotic lives in America now -- there are more. There will be more still, because among the things America no longer manufactures is stability. And the culture around them will not protect them, as the culture protected me. The culture around them will make their lives harder, more frightening, more dangerous. They are going to come up with nothing to believe in, their nerves essentially shot. And they're going to be -- they are already -- very angry.

So that is the story. When I speak of my concerns about the cultural air all around us it is not abstract to me. I will always feel America's culture saved me when I was a child, preserved my optimism, allowed me to be hopeful for the future, allowed me to become myself.

True story, one of my last trips to Meijer before I moved, we got in line behind some scrunt trying to explain to spoiled-brat tween that he had to have a Coke, not a Monster drink, because her card only worked on Cokes, not Monsters. He got up a good sulk; it's not faaaaaaaair.

307 Thirty years ago today I went to the hospital to have a scheduled C-section. We go thru the doors and right over to the registration desk inside. I pick up the pen to sign my name on the intake form, and BOOM - grandpappy winger does a faceplant right on the floor. Out cold. Nurses scurrying everywhere trying to revive him from his dead faint. Meanwhile, I - the pregnant one about to have a child - stands completely forgotten. So I went over to the reception area and read a magazine until they brought him around. What a dolt.

Because Governor Bush is the only one in the field who merges executive experience and a sharp intellect with a reasonable conservatism and the proven ability to win in swing states.

Executive experience means nothing unless, as a commenter noted yesterday, you have the willingness to cut people's balls off. !Jeb's Florida record shows he's perfectly happy to knife his party in the back and kiss the asses of the Dems.

His"intellect" is second-rate at best.

"Reasonable conservatism" is a gigantic neon sign that you don't really like conservatism at all if you have to preface it with a qualifier.

If the contest is Bush v Clinton, he'll lose in a tidal wave that will make Reagan's '84 stomping of Mondale look likea walk in the park.

333 It's probably not so much the house settled but more likely ceramic tile is not nearly as sturdy as actual slate. I've installed many ceramic tile floors and a decent life expectancy to them is five years. Even at that, I'd have to chip one out every year or two.

So last time I bit the bullet, and paid the premium for slate. Over ten years now and only repair necessary was to chip out and replace the grout along one tile recently. Fortunately I was able to purchase the exact grout I needed.

433 Muzzie terrorist who stabbed 4 people in Merced was not a terrorist. He
was a disgruntled student. So says sheriff. Why is it that authorities
go to any lengths to explain away muzzie terrorism?



This is one tactic of the government lie machine I agree with. It denies the muzzie terrorists the press they want and need to make their terrorism work. Everything they are doing needs the press multiplier to be effective. For instance if act A were acknowledged as terrorism then ALL of them would start doing act A knowing that people would be terrified of them. When it is treated as a simple local murder story - no press multiplier - so no more act A because it is not an act of terrorism. Asymmetrical warfare depends on the press for its multiplier effect - otherwise it is just weak ineffective military action.

Why not headline news, huh?

Two weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal published a fairly detailed
account of the US's massive spying operations against Israel between
2010 and 2012.

Their purpose was to prevent Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear
installations. The Journal report, which was based on US sources, also
detailed the evasion tactics the Obama administration employed to try to
hide its covert nuclear talks with Iran from Israel. According to the
report, the administration was infuriated that through its spy
operations against Iran, Israel discovered the talks and the government
asked the White House to tell it what was going on...."

We have a property that we have been trying to clean up for years. One tenant was a hoarder. In the process of cleanup, Code Enforcement cited us. We had the two weeks before our wedding to cleanup some lumber stored there.

Code Enforcement guy asked us if we'd like a wedding present. They gave us a 40 yard dumpster to use for no charge. A friend got a crew for us and filled it. We called several times to make sure we were okay but never heard back from them. It was the nicest thing the County has ever done for us.

In other words, yes, teh wimminz, they are PHYSICALLY attractive. They were designed to be that way, by the Lord our God.

Men, on the other hand, were designed to be providers. We were built to be strong and resourceful, and for women that makes us desirable as mates, not necessarily for our physical traits (some of us more than others of course), but for all that other stuff.

Is it any wonder that you can find research evidence that women find women physically attractive? No! Of course not. Don't be silly. But again, we're talking about women noticing the thing women are designed, by God, to be: physically attractive.

Not setting the stage per se. But what they are doing was predicted long ago.

It is my belief that the leftists aren't smart enough to accomplish what has been transpiring on their own. No one made of flesh is really.

I believe that their efforts are being guided, nudged, and pushed by a diabolic hand.

When you burn a hydrocarbon, there is water formed as a product of that combustion, and that water did not exist as such prior to the combustion. Obviously there was water consumed in the creation of that hydrocarbon (and oxygen liberated), but the odds that the hydrogen and oxygen that made up that water will be reunited days, years, or centuries later are pretty slim.

I think that a collapse of the communications network would be needed. TV, Internet, smart phones, those are the strings on the puppets. Once folks have to look around them and think for themselves instead of relying on the hive mind in the digital cloud, we see who can and can't be salvaged.

That makes sense from an economic standpoint. But for smaller, unintrusive government to work, there has to be a shift from external control (government laws and constraints) to internal control (morals and values). My point is that you cannot have an operating conservative small government with maximum individual freedom without internal self-control. And I think by and large we are losing that.

That's why I keep saying they're insane. They are literally incapable of processing this. In their pathetically stupid belief system, Western Civilization is what makes the world unfair. Why? Because we've been on a winning streak since the Trojan War. They think all they have to do is destroy it, to get rid of us greedy usurpers who are robbing them of the eventual winnings they'll get if they keep playing on a true roulette wheel, and their utopia will eventually come to pass.

They don't understand that life isn't fair, and that dad wasn't angry at them for not letting them believe and do stupid things. They don't understand that the bars aren't there to protect the tiger. Their belief structure immunizes them to all evidence to the contrary. They are insane.

588 To give Ace money without giving up more of your money:

Buy stuff on Amazon though this blog.

There is an AoSHQ Amazon Store link on the main page, but it doesn't have many items. It's a good place to look for books written by Morons and friends of the blog, though.

Above that link is an Amazon Search box. You can type your search item and click Go, or you can click the black box that says "Search New and Used Amazon..."

How much he gets depends on how much people buy and other variables. It's not really knowable by us. (You can research the rules for Amazon Affiliates if you really want to.)

There are other rules about how long stuff can stay in your cart while still giving him credit. The most important one, IMHO, is that if you click a link from another blog with an affiliate program (e.g., Instapundit), they will get the $$ until you go through this blog's link again.

596 Erosion can be the another source of sea rise. There is enough water to completely cover the Earth - if you were to shovel land into the Ocean bottom the sea would rise on the remaining land. However, since is erosion is a slow natural process one can't blame it on global warming. Wait that is it: as the seas heat up the water expands - hence global sea rise from global warming.

The noise in the system is about 66 db greater than the signal you are looking for, and that is with 1 meter peak to peak waves that are perfect and don't fluctuate from cycle to cycle - which of course - they do. About the only way of reducing that noise would be to amplify the common mode signal by having multiple measuring stations. Doubling the number of stations improves the signal to noise ratio by 3 db so to reduce the noise to 10 db below the signal would require a common mode gain of 76 db. That would take 2 raised to the 25.33 power or about 4,200,000 measuring stations.

My guess is the alleged rise is computer simulated and not actually measured.

America has overall been pretty damn resistant to the hard left, because as a nation we have a huge, prosperous, independent, reasonably well-educated middle class with (primarily) Christian, free-market values living in a very safe environment.

Obama and his group have been very successful (with GOPE cooperation)-

in damaging every single one of those traits.

Plus,and I think this is a big part of it,

it takes away our safety at home(by virtue of an ocean) and makes any action in the ME, uh, problematic.

Leftists don't CARE about the ultimate outcome. The only thing they are interested in is destruction. They think it's going to be FUN to shoot kneeling kulaks in the back of the neck. That's their focus, the destruction and slavery of millions of people, and the mass executions that inevitably result.
