The White House December 26, 2015
Statement by the President and the First Lady on Kwanzaa
Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to families across the country celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today begins a week-long celebration of African-American heritage and culture through family and community festivities. Kwanzaa's seven principles, unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith, are also shared values that bind us as Americans.
And in the spirit of the season, we reflect on the blessings of the past year and commit to building a brighter future for all our children. As families, friends, and neighbors come together today to light the Kinara, our family sends our best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.

I'm not saying they should be home loan levels but the 7-9% range is too high for a loan that is permanently attached to you.
The whole thing is a mess and the gov't has not place in it. But, based on the current stupid system, the rates don't make sense.

I won't drag this out any further than to say it's not up to a polity to say whether or not a loan for a 4-year resort that offers unmarketable skills is too high. That should be entirely between the undersigned and the lender.
I'd go a step further and say it shouldn't be up to the Feds to set the base rate for any loan, IYKWIM.

It's not too hard to pencil out who the potential Webb voters are. They're blue-collar and tieless-white-collar workers who vote Democrat not because of socialist economics or identity politics, but simply because that's what dad and granddad did, and such folk are more staunch traditionalists than they are sober analysts. They drink beer, hunt deer, fly the flag, get misty when they hear the national anthem, and believe in kicking the shit out of anyone who dares mess with the U.S.A.
Problem is, the demographic with that combination of characteristics was once very large, but it is now greatly atrophied from what it once was.
Webb might win West Virginia and certain parts of the upper Midwest, but I doubt he would carry any entire states in the upper Midwest. Other than that, bupkis.

It would be too risky.
And that reminds me, did you know Louisiana is trying to pass a measure to require students to apply for federal financial aid for college *in order to graduate high school*? That means their parents have to fill out the financial forms, something I wouldn't do for any kid of mine. I'm not going to put myself on the hook for any damn kid (well, I don't have any, so maybe that's why I feel that way...) How the hell they can get away with that, I don't know.
Anyway, it's only the crony government meddling that allows student loans to be viable anyway.

So, it's supposed to be minus 3 degrees here tonight. I don't get that. How can you have a negative number of degrees?
First of all, there is an absolute zero (besides the one who occupies the WH), so there is no truly "negative temperature".
However, the negative degrees we commonly hear about are due to the commonly used temperature scales having been defined by the melting and boiling points of water at one atmosphere pressure, and these phenomena occur many hundreds of degrees above absolute zero.

He probably put a rotor on upside down or used the wrong rotor. They have a very specific rotation pattern that must be followed. Every other motor has to be set to the counter pitch to the one next to it.

That's what I figured. Just haven't gotten around to looking at it closely. It looks like the rotors can only go on one way though so I don't know how he'd get it upside down. The wrong rotor might be it. It came with four spares. Maybe they're numbered.

Now, it turns out that they way to think of negative temperature is that it is "hotter than infinity" not colder than absolute zero. Turns out 1/T is the better way to think of it. In such a trick system, that quantity can be driven through zero into negative territory. The inverse, T, the temperature then makes an excursion through positive infinity back to negative infinity then approaches zero from the left.
You can get colder than zero, and the other way, can't get hotter than -0.

There are no shades of grey in the constitution.
The Constitution means what it means and says what it says.
The problem is that people would like and want it to say something else but trying to get a consensus that would constitutionally make it say something else is a great hurdle to climb so we get all kinds of bullshittery to magic into existence alternative meanings for what is eminently clear.
If we get a one justice swing on the SCOTUS you will see the day that the 2nd amendment is rendered opposite it's clear meaning.

Linda Sarsour, an anti-American hater of Israel, Islamic supremacist, and regular commentator on left-wing media, was not identified as such when offering her views on Trump. Rather, she was presented as an ordinary Muslim in America.
Recently, Sarsour joined MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry in lamenting the media's displaying of images of Tashfeen Malik -- the female half of the Islamic terrorist mass murdering couple in San Bernardino -- in a hijab. Sarsour also recently condemned President Obama's call for the Muslim community to help root out Islamic extremism.

With Pearl Harbor we were so bored with the romantic plot in the first half that we were kind of glad when the Japanese finally showed up -- and when we realized that there was going to be EVEN MORE of that goddamned movie after the titular battle, we just took it out of the DVD player and sent it back to Netflix.
Avatar was even more tedious. At no point did it surprise either of us. Finally, around the halfway point, we looked at each other and realized that we both knew exactly where the movie was going and had absolutely no interest in seeing it get there. Back to Netflix it went.
Bear in mind that we both watched Battleship all the way to the end, and actually saw Cowboys Vs. Aliens in the theater. We have very low standards, but Avatar failed to meet them.

I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am Kwanza-reform, and we are not that observant. Kwanzaa, celebrated exclusively by white liberals, is a fake holiday invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI stooge, Ron Karenga -- aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. In the annals of the American '60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, pawn of the czarist police.

I am wondering what the thinking is there in Oakland (or wherever the Raiders call home these days). In St. Louis, all anyone wants to talk about, it seems, is the jerkwad owner of the Rams ripping the team out of town, and taking them to LA.
Even though the city and state appear to be doing everything in their power to keep that from happening. The mood is sour, and yet when I compare what St. Louis is doing with Oakland (and San Diego), it doesn't seem to make any sense moving this team to LA, while the Raiders and Chargers founder in their hometowns.

349 RE that list of Obama's constitutional violations... just this year... just two thoughts.
1) He's going to top it next year.
2) The constitution is a relic, its a tattered old rag nobody even pretends to follow any more. Neither party gives a crap about it except as a bludgeon to hit the other party with, not to follow or obey. Its pointless to even talk about people being unconstitutional. Its utterly irrelevant now.

A friend of mine did that for himself, his wife, and their two kids.
Still trying to figure out why he did the two kids - was he trying to tell us something?

Long, long ago, when the world was new and before I became a Peace Officer, I worked for the Hospital Association's in-house security force, and was assigned to a major metro hospital. When males come in with that particular problem, we could always tell when they walked from the entrance to the Triage Desk. Knock-kneed, pigeon-toed, on the balls of their feet. As if they were trying to levitate.
What the docs hated was light-bulbs, which actually were fairly common. The reason they hated them was the sequalae of one breaking while they attempted to remove it.
But my favorite case was a middle-aged, very straight looking businessman type, suit and tie, who came in one afternoon with "the walk". It turned out that he swung both ways, unbeknownst to his wife. He had been engaged in some afternoon delight.
What they found was a jar of Skippy Chunky on the wrong side of the anal sphincter. A copy of that x-ray stayed on a light board in the radiologists lounge for quite a while.
But that was not all. His wife had called the office to reach her husband for something. The secretary told her that she had heard that he was at the ER of our hospital, did not know why. Wife, assuming that hubby dearest had either had a heart attack or was in a car wreck comes roaring into our ER, screaming like a ruptured Bann Sidh wanting to know where he was. Intercepted by us, and the ER staff, it fell to the lowest ranking intern to tell her, before she went to the treatment room: "Lady, your husband's got a jar of Skippy Chunky up his a**.". Kind of a new definition of "scut work".
She went in. It got REAL loud for a short period of time [loud enough that a couple of the deputies from the Sheriff's sub-station that ran the holding cells in the ER came over in case we needed backup], then she left at high speed and high volume. I think she had intentions of contacting an attorney.

Honestly, I don't think you can necessarily take a bunch of young males, throw them together for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and just expect them all not to get hard ons.
Now, I don't know, maybe some of those guys were, but of a while there, I wasn't. And I don't think it was because I was too tired.
Honestly, if it is real, it's to prevent guys from trying to use the darned things where they shouldn't. And if you are the military, you probably calculate some number of them who will try, and you do whatever you can to get that number as close to zero as you can.

The screenplay 'resolved' everything with a big rock concert at the end, 80s-style; but I can't say that it earned that resolution.
The stakes are just higher when you're the 57 year old matriarch of a family, than when you're the 17 year old girl going to the prom.
The screenwriter must have been not much older than 17 years old him or her self.

Its the first time the US has had its back against the wall with the kind of culture we now, uh, enjoy. In the past there still was a "can do" spirit, a pioneer attitude, the love of freedom over comfort, the view of difficulties as a challenge and an opportunity. Now its just one more reason to cry foul and beg for daddy government to fix everything.
This culture is the problem, not the government, and even if by some act of God we ended up with 100% true blue conservatives in ever single office and judicial position, the culture would still rot out from under them.

While wandering through free over the air TV stations some months back, I watched a show which explained that many, if not most blacks cannot trace their lineage back to any tribe because their records were all erased by their masters after being purchased.
Supposedly rare it is or was that someone could go back to the ancestor who was brought here, or beyond.
Just my recollection of the show anyways.

The Bactrians on that Silk Road kept detailed records of the slaves they got. Because if a slave was defective, they wanted to know why. A whole sheaf of Bactrian-language records has turned up and among them were "warranty deeds".
So I'm calling bullshit that American slaveholders wouldn't want to know where their slaves came from.

Instead of figuring which tribe in Western Africa captured your ancestor in a raid and getting an oral history of that, or looking for receipts from the Arab traders that got your ancestor to the coast, or finding shipping records from the English who ferried your ancestor to the markets of the New World, or locating auction receipts from when your ancestor was sold in New England before the ban, or records from the "Second Inner Passage" when your ancestor was "sold down the river" to the South in anticipation of the ban, finding out what plantation your ancestor was in when emancipated.....you could just find out where your closest cousins were and skip a whole bunch of steps.

So if I am reading you right, we need to have more people pay attention and of those people, not look to the govt. for answers, but themselves. In fact, we need them to punish those who push the corrupt business as usual. We need people who actually want to do what is right for America, and in large numbers. Lastly, we need people who will not tolerate the PC BS the left has significantly advanced.
Is this your point in changing the culture?

The Bactrians on that Silk Road kept detailed records of the slaves they got. Because if a slave was defective, they wanted to know why. A whole sheaf of Bactrian-language records has turned up and among them were "warranty deeds".
So I'm calling bullshit that American slaveholders wouldn't want to know where their slaves came from.

I would believe that there were good records kept at each stage at the time.....for liability reasons. But with 10-year warranties, how long do you keep warranty records? A century? Two?

Africa has the largest amount of human genetic diversity of all the continents (crucial support to the "out-of-Africa" theory of human evolution). It has also been extremely diverse culturally and linguistically before colonial periods. Certainly there may be pockets where some tribes ended up with many members in Carolina together....but I don't believe that can be extended to any large numbers.

Well I thin it could stand that if records were kept the best you could do is who was the slave brought from Africa what year the ship sold him and maybe the African port/tribe they acquired them from. But yeah I doubt most of those records exist.
However that wouldn't have much connection to the DNA test where I would think they have enough DNA sequences that you can determine which Region and possibly tribe most of ones dna comes from.

The Court said that was explicitly in the Constitution for the federal Senate, but the same constitution mandated the states not do that with their own senates.
They got 34 out 35 states needed calling for a convention to overturn that via amendment.

No, it doesn't. All it does is allow for the proposal of amendments. They still have to go through the ratification process. An Art V convention could propose an amendment that installs Hillary as emperor for life, and if it doesn't pass 3/4 of the states, it's meaningless.

Re: MWNP's question about what other legal options there are, the correct answer is...NONE.
Posted by: Blano at December 27, 2015 01:47 AM (C3E0x)
"Other" meant other than Article V. I said that because YOU asked the question above somewhere about what other legal options there might be besides Article V. I replied that there were none AFTER ANY ARTICLE V.
If you misinterpreted my point, well excuse me. But it sounds like you're getting a couple of your rants mixed up as well. Go back and read maybe.

There are some people with the will to fix things the hard way that won't until they are convinced all other options have been exhausted. This exhausts those options.
There a great many more who never will under any circumstances. They ought to be ignored.
There is an outside chance that the resolve of the vast majority of states is a sufficient lever to put a stop to the powers in DC. Imagine being those people and realizing they are moments away from not being able to set foot in 75% or more of the states in the union without the threat of (at least) imprisonment (as absent Constitutional order, no one in the federal government is anything more than a bandit). That may stop the necessity of 'other means'.
Economic collapse from where we are and the resulting mass starvation of the FSA are entirely unavoidable at this point, so I won't waste effort trying to avoid them.

I see it as the last legal option available before very bad things happen. If anyone has any other legal remedies, I 'm all ears. That very especially includes you, Cooth. Whatcha got?
Posted by: ManWithNoParty at December 27, 2015 01:44 AM (YLidQ)
1. Very bad things are happening now, every day. For example, https://www.washingtonpost.com /news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23 /cops-took-more-stuff-from-people -than-burglars-did-last-year/
2. The fact that Jon Corzine, Lois Lerner, and Eric Holder are walking around free, with government pensions, is a very bad sign. Arguably the same is true regarding Hillary Clinton.
3. The government, and the political parties, are gathering more information about all of us in realtime than ever previously imagined possible. In the Bay Area, there is a system called FasTrack to pay your bridge tolls across a dozen toll bridges and another dozen toll express lanes.....it has more than 10,000 sensors -- many in areas far removed from bridges. There exist special computer languages to data-mine your personal information across the the full spectrum of online activities. Internet and phone traffic is monitored as never before.
4. If you read the Declaration of Independence, it gives reasons for a People to rid themselves of a foreign government. How many of the cited wrongs are true today as regards to Washington? (e.g. "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance." or "He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.")
As far as legal remedies.....I am legally preparing in ways great and small for the time when we get our Todd Beamer saying, "let's roll". I'll bet you an ounce of three-nines silver that will happen before an Article V -- 'cause a dollar won't mean shit either way when we find out.

I understand the paranoia about 2 much info in other hands, but what on earth is anyone going to do w/ my DNA ancestry analysis?
Round me up and put me in a camp w/ people that are totally white? BTW, I'm also under 1% Jewish so do I get to go to 2 camps?
Believe me, at the costs of these tests someone like Ancestry isn't going to run more than what they need to. They are looking at your genetic background, not your specific chromosomes.
Anyone's well more versed than I is welcome to correct me.

The states can have as many delegates as they want. They can declare every citizen of the state, and every illegal, delegates if that want. What they don't get is more than one vote.
This isn't new stuff, the Constitution has been amended 27 times already (in reality for our purposes (this discussion) 1
The biggest fly in the ointment is how do we make the Feds obey the new amended Constitution when they aren't following the old one?
In that I think our secret weapon is Ted Cruz. If he wins, he's likely to have the opportunity to wipe out the 4/4/1 SCOTUS split we have now, and with his background I'll bet that the justices he proposes will be Constitutionalists like he is, not a Roberts or a Souter or a Kennedy. That could give us the 50 years we need to unravel the judicial bullshit of the last 50 years.
Do I want to retry Roe or Kelo with a 6/3 split in our favor? You bet I do.

I'd say either, but I was seriously overstocked on drinks 12/31/14.

Whether it is viable or not remains to be seen, as it has never been tried, right?
What is indisputable is that this is a final option written into the Constitution.
Do we need to debate this point?

I mentioned upthread that I consider Article V to be a hypothetical. Care to prove to me that it's viable?

You're saying that the manual for the Ship of State (the Constitution) says that you need to do this bunch of undefined, untried procedures in the event the ship needs to be put on the right course. We're saying that Washington looking like King George 99-44/100% of the time (Declaration of Independence) is reason enough to scuttle. Come over and convince us we're wrong -- 'cause telling us we need some slight rudder adjustment isn't getting you very far.

The story about economic illiterate Bernie Sanders lamenting that
student loans have higher interest rates than mortgages, followed by
widespread ridicule of his ignorance -- does anyone remember this exact
same thing happening a couple of months ago?
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at December 27, 2015 03:26 AM (/f6Nd)
Thing is, he's got a point -- student loans cannot effectively be discharged in bankruptcy and attach to the humans involved like indentured servitude.

Well, aside from Holy Word Salad to make not much of a point, fine.
You are trying to have it both ways. Convince me we need what a scuttle would look like and why. Go!

I understand that, but my point is that I could swear this story already happend once. Does anyone remember that?
(And I don't think he understood the principle of risk driving interest rates on loans at all, based on other things he's said -- he just thinks education is a noble pursuit and interest rates should reflect that.)

It was in late October. He made the same point, was ridiculed for not understanding the effect of collateral, and then deleted the tweet. And now is making the same point again.

The seven [the five you know, plus Public Health and NOAA] Uniformed services of the United States take an oath of office as follows: "I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
So declare Progressives to be enemies of the Constitution of the United States by an EO like those that they're so fond of. Declare entire cabinet-level Departments the same -- like the fewer than 5000 Communists, Statists, and pederasts that comprise the Department of Education.
It should be noted that the oath for other Federal officials (besides the President) is "I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I
take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose
of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of
the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
I can't see it as a bad thing if these oaths were taken seriously.
