There's a lot more to the Flint issue than lead in the water. There was a dam near the oldest biggest GM complex that kept heavy shit out of solution. Modern day dambusters had that removed for "natural." And, the lead is not coming from the flowing river. Lead was already in the piping; there was some actual lead piping. Something new-ish in the water is dissolving that, and spreading it evenly through the whole distribution system. Now we're taking fed-level money to fix that.

water a Federal utility. Absolutely would not put it past city-level
Dems to deliberately screw up city water to aid in that.
Reminds me of what the EPA did to the Animas river in Durango. Locals resisted the Superfund site designation for years over abandoned mines, so the EPA pressures a mine owner to let them access his mine and test it for contaminants, and instead disrupts it so that it contaminates the river. Next step, Superfund site status: approved!!

While the consensus is that Trump's playing his 9/11 card won the debating point, Cruz's gambit might still work to gain the necessary edge to win in Iowa and NH.
Social issues like abortion and gay marriage haven't gotten a lot of Republican play this cycle, which I find surprising. Trump I'm sure is agnostic on these issues, which will help him in the general if he's the nominee. Abortion will hurt Cruz, if he's the nominee.

An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years.
Upon her return, her Father cursed her heavily.
Why did ye not write to us, not even a line?
Can ye not understand what ye put yer old Mother thru? '
The girl, crying, replied, 'Sniff, sniff... Dad... I became a prostitute...'
'Ye what? Out of here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this Catholic family.'
'OK, Dad... as ye wish. I just came back to give mum this fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion plus a $5 million savings certificate. For me little brother, this gold Rolex.. And for ye Daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible that ' s parked outside plus a membership to the country club... (takes a breath) and an invitation for ye all to spend New Years Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera. '
'Now what was it ye said ye had become?' says Dad.
Girl, crying again, 'Sniff, sniff... a prostitute Daddy! Sniff, sniff.'
'Oh! Be Jesus! Ye scared me half to death, girl. I thought ye said a Protestant.

For the first time, the global organizingbody of Anglicans has
punished the Episcopal Church, following years of heated debate with the
American church over homosexuality, same-sex marriage and the role of
women.
The Anglican Communion's announcement Thursday that it
would suspend its U.S. branch for three years from key voting positions
was seen as a blow to the Episcopal Church, which allows its clergy to
perform same-sex marriages and this summer voted to include the rite in
its church laws.
I'm still new to the Episcopal church (raised Congregationalist), so I don't really get this type of church hierarchy politics.

Republican play this cycle, which I find surprising. Trump I'm sure is
agnostic on these issues, which will help him in the general if he's the
nominee. Abortion will hurt Cruz, if he's the nominee."
If you go back and read Reagan's 1980 campaign trail speeches, you don't find abortion as a marquee issue. Reagan used friendly proxies to narrowcast on the abortion issue to socon audiences. He himself often tiptoed around the edges of the _Roe_ question. Buried it in his larger critique of federal overreach.
Even once in office, Reagan maintained a wary balance regarding the abortion debate. If memory serves, Reagan appeared on taped video each year to address the March For Life on the D.C. Mall, despite the fact that on several of those occasions, he was in residence at the White House only a short distance away, and could easily have come over there to speak to the marchers live and in person.
Abortion is a difficult nettle to grasp, politically, in a society that's deeply divided on the issue, and when those divides extend even to within political parties. I know a good many country-club Republican sorts from way back for whom abortion rights are one of those things they don't much like trumpeting support for, but don't want to see taken away, either.

Yes, however Trump has done nothing to weaken his support among those groups. So would they switch to Cruz based on a NY value comment?
I wonder if Cruz untangled himself from the birther business last night. Whether or not the issue has legal standing, it is a reason for people to hold doubts about Cruz's long-term chances. There are no such doubts about Trump.

What would she have to be accused of to make you change your mind? What evidence do you need, that you don't already have, to convince you that she is a pathological liar? Most importantly, do you believe that a pathological liar would make a good president?

I'm impressed with the quality of the production. Looks like a lot of time on the vomit rocket. They've made some deviations from the books but, that's ok for film.
In the books, I found Miller to have far more depth/interesting than Holden.
I also agree that the third book could have been the end. Subsequent books should have been a different series with Miller sleuthing out what happened to the gate builders.

Dem operatives in the water arena always have to find a way to blame old industry, or farmers, for problems that were always there but now suddenly appear worse because they spent the water improvement money on pretty things. Watch them.
The new model for electricity appears to be the end of the "fleet" of power plants, with everything de-centralized into green stuff. Of course, this is only possible with massive government subsidy. I look for daily water deliveries by government vendors, and the end of pipe networks. Quick and easy to shut off a malcontent, and it instantly converts suburbs into remote mountain fastnesses, prohibitively expensive to maintain. So move into the city like a good citizen.
If you think this is crazy, you've never seen a sharp city manager pull an annexation on a township. The water is how you get them. Dirty business.
Can't wait for this to catch on with sewage services. Third world here we come.

Yeah, there's really no reason for Miller to manifest if he isn't communicating with Holden. If there was a way to show the Protomolucule performing it's function, then it would be a cool story, though I'm not a strong enough storyteller to think of a way to do that.

1) Santorum's IA victory wasn't even known until 3 WEEKS AFTER the caucuses! By then, he'd already lost NH!
2) Both Santo & Huck had no money! After winning IA, both men had to start from scratch-- to build a war chest and an organization in states other than IA.
3) Trump & Cruz have money already. Cruz had an outstanding 4th Q FR haul, & you probably heard the rumor that Trump can self-fund. Cruz has an organization in the OTHER early primary & caucus states right now that Santo & Huck couldn't even wet dream about.
So, in sum, anyone who compares either Trump or Cruz to Santo & Huck is a stupid, braindead, sub-delta IQ, drooling idiot cocksucker.

Chief Briels observed two men in the armory; he followed them and decided to pull them over and ask questions. The men were very evasive and Briels became concerned about their intents and purpose - so he took a picture of the vehicle and tag.
Briels called in the tag number to the county LEO dispatch who ran a check of the plates and informed him the vehicle belonged to two undercover FBI agents. Briels then went to the county judge, Steven Grasty.

When Chief Briels told Judge Grasty about the undercover FBI agents posing as militia, the fire chief was told to shut up and back off. Fire Chief Briels told Judge Grasty he would not keep quiet and he was going to tell the public what was happening.

The agency released its "most wanted list" on Wednesday, a laundry list of policies it would like implemented nationally. The list includes recommendations to reduce the current 0.08 blood alcohol content limit and outlaw all cell phone use while driving, even hands-free technology.
I wonder how long before they want to outlaw radios in cars, which undoubtedly distract drivers more than cell phones or anything else. And then they'll move on to outlawing any conversations in cars, since they are no different than hands-free cell phones.
And finally, they'll just outlaw cars.

Episcopalian church is part of the Anglican Communion, worldwide. Its best to look at them as constantly splitting, IMHO, so some part of them have left in the 70s, another part in the 90s, etc . but the Episcopalian church itself values staying within the larger communion.
Giving them a time out is a punishment in that regard. It's not the same as being excommunicated or anything.

But I may be remembering wrong.
=====
He was part of it but not subsumed by it. That's how he was able to project himself in the Slow Zone and also help them shut off the defenses and open the gates.
Because the main-and only--program of the Protomolocule was to build gates at the other end of habitable systems for the aliens. That and kill anything on the other side that was a threat. Without his consciousness being independent, I don't see there's no reason for it to explain to the humans how to disable/shut off the defenses.

I jumped into a fight with cat ladies on this Nextdoor app last night, and am enjoying it a bit too much. Argument started with a simple alert from the city about a rabid cat that had been put down, but was known to have contact with humans.
Turned into a TNR holier-than-thou rant by some spinsters...
I couldn't help offering to buy them a cup of coffee at the next PP demonstration - seeing how they want to protect innocent little lives and all...

Near as I can recall, there's a lot of suspicious shit being swept under there. Specifically, the ballistics reports.

Almost all stocks have prices that have been way overinflated by the the Fed's insane monetary policy. All that money they created out of thin air had to go somewhere and, this time, it wasn't into the general economy.

Wal Mart announces big number of stores to close, says most are short drive from other stores, then says needs to reevaluate place re competition from Amazon.
I sense this when I go through any store. Macy's. Nordstrom. REI. Cabela's. Boot Barn. You name it.
Everyone in the stores carrying a smart phone. The stores all mostly offering free Wi Fi. The shelves cannot carry it all, the manufacturers offering so much that the boxes cannot have enough space for everything.
So you go to Amazon. If you are like me, and live in a state without an Amazon distrubution center, you don't pay sales tax.
If you are a prime customer, there is no shipping. I know, yeah, it's embedded in the price, but usually the sales tax more than offsets the delivery cost.
Say you want a simple $20 hand mixer for the kitchen. How many are on the shelf at WalMart, at Target, at Macy's? How many can you choose from at Amazon?
It's a no-brainer. For me, a WalMart is a 10-mile round trip and an hour, when I tally it all up. 10 miles costs me at least $5 in car ownership. My hour costs me something.
And who is out there to compete with Amazon?

So leaders in Germany are willing to blame the victims (the evil idiot mayor of Koln), blame any political group not affiliated with them, will use water cannon on groups that dare question unrestricted migration, and now they are cancelling traditional festivals to appease the mohammadans and hopefully avoid more attacks, which they will do nothing to stop.
Yeah, that's a recipe for success.

That's what I think is happening.
You can't support absurdly high stock values by making blue-sky claims about how many bazillion dollars the companies are worth. Show me net profits, minus government handouts, and we can talk.
One silver lining: if it goes on, this will wipe out some of the Wall Street Greedheads that Crazy Uncle Bernie wants to squeeze to Level the Playing Field for those hurt by the "rigged economy."
Of course it will also result in bankruptcies, lost jobs, and smaller political donations from the Liberal Elite, so there's that.

Germany cancelling things or changing in any way because the Musloids might find it haram is only going to make them bolder.
Their victory in Germany is already sealed - just have to wait a decade or two: From Gates of Vienna
So, in five years, of the 23 million residents in this country between
20 and 35 years old, 11.5 million would have an immigration background.
That is half. And that is not considering the higher birth rate of at
least the first generation of immigrants.
Just think thirty years into
the future, when the majority --- over 50% of those now living in Germany,
and these are the older people --- have died out, and now imagine the
future composition of the population of the Federal Republic. There are
some uncertainties in this extrapolation --- the volume of immigration,
the residence permits granted and the family reunions in coming years.
Nonetheless, it is very probable.
So sad.

Competition is good, but using stock money to sell at a loss is not how "capitalism" is supposed to work. At least not when interest rates are forced lower by the fed, to prop up the stock market.

Because today it's no more than a leftist property management company in vestments.
My diocese left a few years ago but allowed each parish to make its own decision as to whether to stay with the national church or go with the diocese. The diocese also issued quitclaims so that those who stayed with the national church could keep their buildings; contrast this with the national church, which sues any congregation that leaves but wants to keep its own building, which when they win leaves them with empty churches that they can't pay for, because the people who agree with the politics of the national church don't go to church in the first place.
Of course, leftists being leftists, the national church cannot tolerate having people leave and tried (and continues to try) to sue my diocese into oblivion by claiming that a diocese cannot leave the national church, that the national church owns all of the properties, and that the national church owns the name "Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina", despite the fact that the diocese predates the national church! Of course they lost in court but that didn't stop them from pouring even more money into an appeal, because leftists cannot abide the notion that someone, somewhere doesn't agree with them.
