I feel certain the Establishment GOP Cartel will firmly reject any Obama nominee for the Supreme Court, until the 2016 elections are over.
Then I expect McConnell and the RINOs to pay off their masters by ramming through a judicial consent in the lame duck session.

Dirt.
I never realized this but paintings done before the advent of the modern camera are coated in dirt and whatever which has darkened and obliterated much of what was visible in the beginning.
Saw some examples of befores and afters of widely known paintings after their cleaning.

So I'm sitting here thinking I'm going blind--maybe some retinal problem
or a new and improved ocular migraine symptom. Keep seeing these very
fast but small flickers of black in my lower left field of vision. Then I
notice that they are appearing in my lower right field of vision too.
Kinda like a fly zipping past you...
Then I turn around and look
out the window to see about a thousand starlings zipping past the window
behind me on their way to ravage the holly tree out back. Realize that
what I am seeing is their reflections in my glasses.

And that alone shows their true allegiance.
What's been the most noticeable thing about the last few years?
The GOPe doesn't care what their supposed base supporters think. They're doing what their BUYERS/FUNDERS want and not their voters.
Because they believe that's where the money is.
Big surprise when they find out that without supporters, their buyer/funders don't care much about them anymore because the base is their power and the only reason they were of interest to the big money.
Well, Allah I don't know but Ed I had some run ins with so I personally don't care and actually expected something like this long ago. (I got banned because I said that Allah and Ed were allowing Salem too much control. Prophetic eh?)

I've noticed that the comments over at HA have really deteriorated over the past year or so. My guess is that management saw that too, and rather than deal with it, they went with the "let it burn" option.

It was a sudden thing, with no warning. And yes, I do think they wanted to get rid of the Trumpers. The comments section had generally become quite hostile to the staff writers and Salem media as an entity, and I think the FB commenting system is an effort to get rid of the "old" commenters politely, rather than going on a screaming rant and melting down and banning everybody like LGF did.

Blacklisted Words
Moderators can blacklist words. Posts containing any of the blacklisted words will be automatically placed in the Review tab. All comments are being checked via substring matching. This means if you blacklist the word at, if the comment contains the sequence a t anywhere it will be marked with limited visibility; e.g. if the comment contained the words bat, hat, attend, etc it would be caught.
Banned Users
In the tab Banned Users moderators can ban users. If a new comment is published from a banned user, this comment will automatically have limited visibility and show up in the review tab.

Nah.
I've long said here, the courts are lost--don't look to them to expand or even protect your freedom and liberty anymore.
The Court--with Scalia--gave us ObamaCare and fag marriage. Does it matter if the vote is 5-4 or 6-3? No.
If we are to regain our freedoms and liberty, it must come from the states.
The states are long overdue to protect their citizens from the federal government, to stand up and refuse to allow unconstitutional laws--whether written by Congress or the Supreme Court--to be enforced upon their citizens.

Ultimately, I agree with you. The protection must be from the ground up - in conservative fashion - not top down. But the courts do matter. The Court doesn't always get it right, but they do get many things right (when we have the proper people in power).

Well, I can never imagine a scenario where the GOP controls the Senate and any conservative being "okay" with them just letting a leftwing Supreme Court rule us all to to avoid some bad editorials from newspapers that nobody reads anyway.
It's always a hill worth dying on, the Supreme Court has simply become too important.
I would MUCH rather Senate Republicans sell us out on things like not shutting down the government versus possible 30 year control to a Supreme Court.

defended his participation in the Senate Gang Of Eight immigration reform bill, arguing that the bill that passed in the Senate as written wasnt the final draft of the law that would be signed by President Obama.
The Senate immigration law was not headed toward becoming law. Ideally it was headed towards the House where conservative members of the House were going to make it even better, he said. It was the best we could do given the fact of who was running the Senate at the time.

Thank you.
I was trying to make a comment back to monsier poo poo but I couldn't get it done without profanity.
People don't understand that there are laws that could be invoked for anyone who violates a sites terms of service and who make statements with a fake name.
And yes they've actually brought charges against someone for that. They were along with other more serious charges but they included them nonetheless.
So go ahead and lie to get an account. Let me know how that works out for you. If you use it and you get their attention, I'll bet you change your tune really fast.
You do know that they can track you by your IP? and they also have the cycles to spend to do so and to find out that you are not who you say you are? Just because you've gotten away with it for years doesn't mean squat. Especially if you don't use the account regularly. It means nothing.
There's plenty of people who do stuff illegally and get away with it but eventually it bites them on the ass.
And I believe that FB will begin cracking down on that sort of thing in the near future.

1st. As states tried to practice it in the 1800s, it's a dead thing. A single state saying, "We disagree with this federal law therefore it has no bearing within our state." That'll never fly these days.
2nd. It was used by South Carolina in the 1830s against the tariff. Now, does it matter that the state used it in regards to revenue collection as opposed to slavery? Nope. South Carolina did it while it held slaves, ergo, racist (according to our betters).
I'm sympathetic to nullification as it was attempted in the 19th century, but I wouldn't support it.
Now, coming up with alternate tactics that mirror it (like no state funding, no state support) are fine and dandy, but not powerful enough to overcome to encroaching power of the federal government.
Article V is what we need, but I worry about its effectiveness and potential for blowback.

That, and I think Republicans should at least try and make the case that the Senate is an equal part of the decision making process. Everyone just seems to have this idea that the President gets what he wants and if the Senate plays a role that its somehow illegitimate.
The Senate has a record of voting down all sorts of nominees in our history, with even Obama making the case when he was a Senator that every SC pick should require a minimum of 60 votes.

Yep, most of the public thinks Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court, so it's not likely they are going to be following the confirmation battle too closely.
It's the voters who do follow such things -- i.e., the anti-LIVs -- that the politicians need to be worrying about. We are the ones whose votes the GOP will lose if they cave and let Barky place yet another dimwitted lefty loon on the SCOTUS.

2) those that are pissed off with the corruption, laziness, and ineptness of the D.C. party leadership and are pining for a real opposition party.
Just about everyone can be lumped into those two general categories.
Unfortunately, the first category is prevailing by a small majority. Hence, enthusiasm forRubio, Jeb!, Kasich, etc., a "moderate" who can win.
Category two is generally anti-Trump, because those who are actively trying to change things have been involved for a while, and Trump is a recent phenomenon.

Part of this is politics of course, trying to portray Republicans as terrible people. But the biggest part is that they know what we know: this is their chance to utterly demolish the nation and reform it into a leftist third world hell hole. With 4 radical leftist idiots on the bench, its basically a rubber stamp to every crazy idea ever that they come up with.
Because none of those present seated lefties demonstrate the slightest wisdom, restraint, or constitutional comprehension. And we know Obama would pick someone just like that, someone reliably for the cause at all costs. There would never be a single leftist idea that they would reject, question, or even examine except for ways to prove that it somehow fits some bizarre twisted fantasy vaguely related to the constitution.
So this is a fight or die situation for them -- but why? Shouldn't it just be a matter of waiting for the next president? After all, the fix is in, the media is on the job, should they not be certain that a Democrat will win?
Its hard to avoid the impression that they think they aren't gonna win in November. That this is their last shot at getting a really whackadoo leftist on the bench to replace Scalia.

Here's a better rule. One I used pretty successfully with the libtards in my life.
Elections matter. If Obama had been the great consensus builder he claims to be.... he wouldnt have lost the House and the Senate?? If he had kept both houses he could do whatever he wants. But he didnt. The People decided to put a check on his power.... remember deemed to pass, Ive got a pen and a phone, executive order this and that.
The fact that he has a hostile Congress is his own damn fault. Yes elections matters... he won his. But the midterms matter too. The Republicans won theirs.
Bottom line the Senate should be able to block his nominations.... because they can.

I do think a mistake some Republicans are making is saying he isn't "allowed" to make a pick. That does have a ring of illegitimacy to it.
I would simply say Obama can name someone as the Constitutions says, and the Senate can determine if that person can serve as the Constitution outlines.
And then of course kill that person either in committee or by a formal vote.
But Obama is going to nominate someone and Republicans are going to have to formally kill it off, they certainly are not going to bluff Obama out of trying it.
Just make the GOP look even weaker by saying "he's not allowed" and then watching as he of course does nominate someone.

I am too, because its not a right, and its written down. The president may nominate, the senate may consent or refuse to consent. That's all the constitution says. It doesn't say how fast a justice must be appointed, it doesn't even say how many justices must be on the court.
It says President is given the power to nominate justices, and the Senate is given the power to consent or not. That's it.

I think that's a better way to go about it then saying "he's not allowed to make a pick and only the next President is"
It should be explained that it's a lot like how a bill becomes law (or is supposed to anyway), you need both branches to sign off on it.
Obama can also propose any other sort of bill he wants but it still has to pass Congress.

They always have and always will until their subsidies are in danger. That's why they fear Trump. As President Trump could cut the subsidies of any one group he didn't like. Any one group (not them all). Obama can't. GOPe can't. W couldn't even take out PP. The left will be lining up to kiss Trump's ass if he wins the Presidency. They will act like contestants on his show.

Yea, but the Democrats still did block nominees regardless and they kept control of Congress every time they did.
But when the GOP owned the Executive Branch, it was definitely a time conservatives wanted more power for that branch of government and we're paying the price for it with Obama who has no problem crossing all sorts of lines that Republican Presidents never dreamed of.

Constitution doesn't specify number. FDR tried to get more justices on the court because they kept shooting down his radical leftist agenda on constitutional grounds (but not enough; too much got through). He figured, add 3 or 5 more people that agree with him and he can just get anything he wanted! Congress wasn't willing to play along, even though they were Democrats, too.

I just think this is one of those issues that people on both sides will always play to win and will never compromise on.
I personally hate the uncertainty because if the Democrats win the next election, that's it, it's game over.
But if a Republican wins and we can name 2-3, very little will change in this country.
You won't recognize this country if the Democrats get something like a 6-3 majority.

What could possibly be driving your confidence though? Have you seen the polls from South Carolina?

A test problem I used when I worked on electro-mechanical calculators was to multiply 12345679 (no eight) by any number divisible by 9 between 9 and 81. The result would be a solid string of the other factor.
for example 12345679 x 36= 444444444 or 12345679 x 81= 999999999

They should change the name of Facebook to Doxxbook.
What liberals want is to "out" every conservative, publish your name and address and photo, in the hope that their Muslim brethren will break out the scimitars.
They did it after the 2008 election in CA (posted the name and address online of everyone who donated to Prop.
, with the overt statement that now you must all live in fear.
Liberalism's core ritual is "public shaming," which is intended to quickly escalate to Kristallnacht-level doxxing.

The mechanical complexity of those things was staggering. I am amazed that the engineers were able to design things that could be mass produced. Toward the end, of course, the thrust was to compact them as much as possible. I fussed around with innards of a Monroe, and came away hugely impressed.

He wrote a 38-page paper that to me looked like one long equation. The upshot was that he said it could predict the occurrence of primes.
He is on the fringes of academia, so he can't get any traction with it, though, and the rejection is literally driving him batty.

And Facebook is a supporter of Catatlyst.
Thus, everything piece of info you write... everything you say, is monitored by Facebook, and is then put into Catalyst, where it is used by Progressive causes.

Well, it's difficult -- all the primes have already been named and discovered out to a zillion places. One needs supercomputer time to look for as-yet un-found primes. So it's difficult to prove that you have an equation that can predict one.

I think one of the major issues for VA hospitals now is people not getting appointments in a timely manner. The decision to allow Veterans to receive care outside the VA, under certain conditions, lends itself to the notion that eventually the cost-saving will HAVE to include closing facilities.
It seems like a no-brainer to me. Might take them 30 years to figure it out, but I think it's coming.

I know a guy who claims to have disproven that using the Reimann Zeta Function.
He wrote a 38-page paper that to me looked like one long equation.
The upshot was that he said it could predict the occurrence of primes.
He is on the fringes of academia, so he can't get any traction with
it, though, and the rejection is literally driving him batty.
Posted by: zombie at February 15, 2016 12:44 PM (jBuUi)
If he had really disproven the Reimann Hypothesis, he would have been able to claim over a million dollars in prize money. I think if your guy didn't suddenly start living large, he was either deluded or Walter Mitty.
It would be ubercool, though, if you met someone who solved one of the Millennial problems.

He should use it to predict a prime. Post it somewhere. Give it to Drudge as a tip.

Facebook/Disques comments are nothing but trolls and work from home scams.
Arguably, it drives page views, since a lot of the spam posts have scripts and OCD types behind then generating hits. But it makes the comments pretty much worthless. Kills stay time, because you can read or scan content quickly, but an active comment section can engage people for an extended period.

Just a note: don't copy and paste directly into the comment box without 'washing' it through Notepad. IE don't copy something from a website and paste directly into the comment box. Copy and paste to Notepad, then re-copy in order to paste it in a comment. Don't copy anything from Internet Explorer, or Word/excel/etc. Notepad or other plain text editor only.
Also this system doesn't like most special characters like smart quotes. It will give you an error screen if you do. Special characters include ones like the curved quotation marks, aka smart quotes, that many news sites use. Those have to be replaced manually; change the curved quotes and apostrophes to the straight ones ' " .

Funny thing. At college, being a very worldly-ignorant kid, I asked a girl if she could sew a button back on a shirt for me.
She replied: No, but I can show you how to do it.
Married her. Still together, three grown kids later.
And, usually, she sews the buttons, but at least I can do it if I have to.

If he had really disproven the Reimann Hypothesis, he would have been able to claim over a million dollars in prize money. I think if your guy didn't suddenly start living large, he was either deluded or Walter Mitty.
It would be ubercool, though, if you met someone who solved one of the Millennial problems.
Posted by: redbanzai
To him, he HAS disproven it. The proof is right there on the paper.
But it doesn't do any good unless you get official acknowledgment and confirmation from the mathematical community. Without that, no one would care or believe what you are claiming.
It's way beyond a layman's understanding. Way way way way way beyond. Probably only few people in the world can grasp what's going on in the 38-page-long equation/function (or whatever the hell it is). I certainly don't.
His problem is this:
-- He's from overseas, and hardly speaks a word of English. (or any other lingua franca.) So he's excluded from the international community. He had to use auto-translate software to render the textual part of his paper into English, but it's stilted and badly translated, so it is ignored.
-- He doesn't have a professorship. Hence, he is regarded as a fringe kook. He DOES have a PhD in math, but it is not from a top school. His only official "position" is as a "postdoctoral fellow" (i.e. a guy who sits around thinking) at an undistinguished provincial university in a non-first-world country. In other words, he's a nobody.
-- There are other ACTUAL "fringe kooks" who sometimes make similar grandiose claims, and they've "poisoned the well" with their idiotic kookery, and this guy feels he is being unfairly lumped in with the kook brigade. As a result, he can't rally get the attention of the Big Boys he'd need to confirm his discovery.
You may remember the amazing case of Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian amateur math-doodler with NO education who on his own made incredible breakthroughs -- which were totally ignored by and unknown to the math community until he wrote letters to the math department at Cambridge and FINALLY got their attention.
This could be a similar situation.
Personally, I believe him, but I'm not a mathematician, so I don't really know for sure.

Yeah, Phil Helmuth is a master at "blowing up" after losing a hand in poker (that he "should have won") and making his opponents think he's gone out of control, off the rails, big time tilt.
That's when his opponents think they have him right where they want him.
They misread him.
And he eats their lunch. BIG TIME.
It seems to me that Trump plays a similar game to great effect.
It explains why he keeps kicking everyone's ass.

Could be that his proposal has some flaw that's glaringly obvious to serious mathematicians, but not to him. Sort of like perpetual motion cranks.
If the guy is on the up and up, and not a crank, he should try to hook up with at least one individual who has cred in mathematical circles, and work jointly to rewrite and co-publish the paper. If he thinks that his idea has worth beyond his getting recognition for it, he should not object to that tack.

It was half a good attack. The problem is, having a brother who was president doesn't recommend you at anything. Jeb is a hapless wretch who can't even campaign well.
Mocking Trump for making a reality show: good tactic
Praising your brother by contrast: stupid
He should have talked about what he was accomplishing (if anything) while governor during that time, showing he has skills and presidential characteristics as opposed to being a showman.
But he even failed at that and left himself wide open.

Then in the very next sentence will exclaim how angry, or stupid, or crass or ignorant he is.
If it's an act, then it's all an act. If he's being real then it's all real.
You can't figure out that a lot of what he says is strictly to get his name out there in the headlines and make his foes say stupid stuff and not be able to talk about what they want to because the media is too busy asking about what Trump just said?

I've had to read a lot about Trump's business strategy in the past to understand what he's doing now. I believe this is Trump rattling his saber as a way to make the GOP piss their pants and compel them to stop attacking him. I don't think he would go third party, but he has to make them believe he would. You really have to know Trump through and through so these reports don't make you piss your pants either, which is difficult given how much we hear or read about him is filtered through a bigoted media and even the GOPe itself.

The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech, and
walked out into the lobby of the convention center where he was
introduced to a United States Marine Corps General.
As they talked, the Iranian said, "I have just one question about what I have seen in America."
The General said, "Well, is there anything I can do to help?"
The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show called 'Star Trek' and in it there is... Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov who is
Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is black, and Sulu who is
Japanese, but there are NO Muslims. My son is very upset and doesn't
understand why there aren't any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians,
Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on 'Star Trek'.
"The General leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador, and whispered in his ear, "That's because it takes place in the future..."

Yeah it's Trump derangement syndrome. Guess what: he doesn't need the whole conservative base. He's already reaching out to the left, look at the stupid asinine shit he said about George W. Bush. That pisses me off, but Obama proved it's a viable electoral strategy, so... reap the whirlwind. It's the Republicans' fault for letting their brand get so damaged, not Trump's for exploiting it.
To me the issue is: what amount of non-conservative squishery am I willing to accept in the name of detonating the GOPe?
As long as he holds firm on amnesty, well, pretty much anything. Social issues are off the table for me. It's not worth the energy. And that's the main fixation of the average leftist. Coherent foreign policy is a must, but I think he'll do that. Honestly, who fucking cares who we ally with? We're at the end of 20th century power alignments, let's do the best thing for the US, whatever that ends up meaning.
The important thing is leeching support from the left among the 18-35 demo. If they can be convinced to change their minds even a fraction, even just for a week, and suddenly see what it's like to be on the outside of the leftist social structure looking in - they'll never go back. And that's what's needed. If it takes the reality of Donald Trump in the oval office to make that happen, so be it.
War.

This is what folks do.... they take a simple statement, and then LOAD it with meaning....
Trump is not being treated fairly in by the Party in the way they are stacking the debate audiences....
Nor is Cruz being treated fairly.
So.... a statement about not being treated fairly is blown out of proportion to mean he is running third party and the SKY IS FALLING!

You're the one with the out of control caps lock.
Nobody is saying the sky is falling. Well the owners of Hot Air might be but not about this issue.
Trump made a very big deal early on about keeping his 3rd party options open. He then relented and made a very big deal of signing the pledge that he would not go 3rd party. It's not a huge jump in logic to assume that because he is now saying the RNC broke the deal that he would be referring to the one and only thing the deal controlled, namely that anyone who participated in the Republican primary would pledge to not run 3rd party.
Yes, it is an observation.

Trump could. *Could.* There's a possibility. I'm not saying he will, I'm saying he *could*
Cruz just couldn't. The left will hang his senate record around his neck and drive ever young person into the arms of Sanders. Aside from whoever's directing his commercials he lacks the panache to appeal to the soft coddled tapioca brains of the contemporary American center and left.

Exactly. The leftist notion that we need an "elite" to run things is poisonous. Any average person not Of the Washington Body is all that is needed. That person also needs to the wealth and pure, simple crossgrainedness to resist being pressured or bought once in office.
Trump's a long shot but he's the only shot, in my opinion. To reiterate:
1) Can the GOP candidate attract blue collar dem voters?
2) How much leftist squishery can we tolerate in the name of destroying the GOPe?
If 1 is your primary concern, Trump is your man. If 2 is your primary concern, you're going to go with Cruz and hope 1 isn't what will end up deciding whether our country continues to exist.

He left with the dems holding a supermajority in the House and giving up the White House to a friggin Indonesian, America-hating dog-eater who isn't even eligible for the job, and, on top of that, Bush had people in his own friggin cabinet shilling for Barky.
As to Barky, the fact that he won re-election in 2012 after having the most pathetic, anti-American, insane loser of a treasonous first term and was shielded from impeachment by the Vichy GOP says all one needs to know ...

Bernie liberals are so mad that he won't go at Hillary. Trump will, and they know it. And at the end of the day, the problem with the US is that we're only against things, not for them.

People NOT being afraid of Barack Obama is partly what got him elected.
I am not afraid of Trump. I AM afraid for America. If not for Scalia passing away, I might be more willing to entertain a Trump candidacy. Between that, Trump's dem past (and apparently present), not anymore.

He did try really hard to make more cuts and be more fiscally lean. He warned congress over a dozen times about the housing crisis looming and how fannie/freddie were playing fraudulent games. He sent in budgets that slashed deep into various agencies. His vision of the DHS was a small clearing house to connect intel operations, not a gargantuan mega agency.
So yeah, he did try, but he had three faults.
1) he held the separation of powers doctrine so strongly that he was very loathe to veto or even criticize what congress did
2) he really believed he could work with Democrats to create things and govern, when they were treasonous hateful enemies
3) He was terrible at selling his ideas and reaching out to the people.
I've come to the conclusion that nice guys make terrible presidents.

There are not nearly as many blue collar dems as there was in 1980, when they became Reagan Democrats. That is one reason why the Dems do not even pretend to be the party of the "little guy" in the same sense they were in 1935 and 1960.
So betting on them to carry Trump to victory in Nov. is not, IMO, a very good bet.

You think Cruz is unelectable, I think he is not (as proved by him being elected). Even in your (and I don't mean you personally, I mean Trump supporters in general) defiance of the GOPe, you are still buying into their notion that only moderates are electable.

ahole @ # 1425,
I don't visit Hot Air very often, and I have never commented there.
But to the non-argument "oh for fuck sake" comment re: Cruz's Constitutional INELIGIBILITY, I sometimes ARGUE like this:
Though I am a staunch conservative, I will NEVER place ideological preference in a candidate above the Constitution. N.E.V.E.R.
That's what the left does. And I won't do it.
But feel to believe that being born in Canada is not a direct contradiction to the Constitutional REQUIREMENT of being a "natural born" citizen.

I really dislike the idea that the "only path to success is to attract moderates"
The
problem with that is the assumption that the natural default state for
moderates is to be Democrat. So, if the only route for a Conservative victory is to act like a liberal, in fact not just act, but adopt liberal policies to attract possibly wavering Democrats.
But why should they switch? The "Democrat Light" policies don't offer anything different from the actual Democrats, and are insincere on top of that.

We're gonna need more master debaters, if Cruz's eligibility for the office of president is going to be an issue.

Yeah.... because the Founder's intended for a Guy born in Canada, of
TWO Canadian Citizens, should be President (Mom was a Dual Cit at his
birth according to Canada).

That is bullshit rumor DQ. Bullshit that you have no backing for other than the word of that nut Alan Grayson. Cruz's mom was American, is American and has never been anything but American.
This right here is why your "concerns" are crazy and birtherism.

Your concern is noted but the definition of 'natural born citizen' does need to be adjucicated. As it hasn't to this date been clearly defined.
Which is the real problem, not whether Cruz is or isn't.
Plus ignoring the question doesn't get you or him anywhere because Democrats have said outright that they will sue if Cruz is the nominee.
This question isn't going away any time soon.
What bothers me most is that if Cruz is such a constitutional scholar, then why did he try to ignore this question or try to resolve it before he ran?

Speaking of old times, there was another troll in here about four years back who posted under the nickname "curious". She was from the NYC area, had a thing for cats snd would post seemingly innocuous questions to cover for her leftitude. She was notorious for posting a link to a gay porn site, among other things. As she branched out to other nicks, the warning "cat pee"! was thr signal she was in a thread.

You couldn't get approval to build a tractor plant on the west bank of the Hudson.
The tractor is a 1948 Allis-Chalmers Model G. Wouldn't pass NIOSH.
Both owners are in their 70's; met at IBM. One is a Jewish-named Cuban expat, the other an old N.C. muleskinner. I wish them well. I also wish they could do business here. I have a couple Troy-Bilts bilt in Troy, and a Gravely.
