I'd go with "cooked", but hmmm.
This is one of the key issues (which will go unreported) from the Obama era - the complete and utter destruction of any Federal "data". Big numbers are inherently inaccurate, but the willingness to make s*** up at the level of the current administration is breathtaking. Make Clinton the First look good.

On December 21, the Defense Ministry and the Pentagons Missile Defense Agency completed the last phase of trials.
The trials took place in southern Israel and were led by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, which is developing Davids Sling, together with the US defense company Raytheon.
Davids Sling can intercept short-range to medium-range rockets and ballistic missiles, including guided projectiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, and drones. Its range of coverage means it can destroy incoming threats over enemy territory, away from Israeli skies.

I read the below piece earlier, on the Washington Free Beacon site, and couldn't believe it, yet I could. It's in today's headlines there.
Obamacare Co-Ops Used Accounting Gimmick Approved by Feds
Failed co-ops reported net assets despite losing millions
http://freebeacon.com/issues/obamacare-co-ops-used-accounting-gimmick-approved-by-feds/
Co-ops created under Obamacare reported net assets despite losing millions because they used an accounting trick approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Tax filings for 18 co-ops, including nine that collapsed in 2015, also revealed that co-op CEOs were paid handsomely before many had to shut down.
In July 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services amended its agreement with co-ops, allowing them to list $2.4 billion in loans they received from taxpayers as assets.

LOL. Last year Feb was cold, so an ice storm in mid-March wasn't unusual. So far, we have already had 75, 78, & 80 degree days in the last two weeks of February. I just don't see conditions turning ugly weather-wise in March.

I remember that day well. I was living on the South Shore on a private lane down by the bay. We used to get a ton of ocean affect snow there and instead of 3 feet we had drifts of up to 6 feet and because it was a private lane the town didn't plow the lane.
By the time they finally started to plow there was so much snow that the plow got stuck and they had to send in a front end loader to dig it out.
We were snowed in for 3 days, without power for 2. Had to use the wood stove for heat and cooking. It was pretty fun actually.

He says people I love and have relationships with. Which is to be expected. He doesn't say his wife and family.
We have done a lot of time apart because of work/duty. Never heard anyone not mention their spouse specifically.

Honestly, this seems more like an incentive for CA and Mexico to keep pushing more illegals on us.
SPECIAL: Valley prepares for next wave of Central American children
...While that bill never passed, "We also added about $750 million to help Central America beef up its security, fight the drug gangs, provide some economic assistance," said Cuellar, "Because the more people we get to stay over there, the less people come in."
Another $80 million has gone to help Mexico secure its southern border with Guatemala, where along with Honduras, the U.S. government has mounted an ad campaign warning what to expect from human traffickers. Zamora can tick over a list of abuses, "From child molestation to raping some of these Central American women, holding them for extortion for extra money, or leaving them out in the brush to die."
We're giving them money. And you know they aren't using it to keep them out of the US.

I mean, I get it. I get the anger. I get that people are pissed. I get that people want to burn the GOPe to the ground. I get that because I'm pissed and I want to burn the GOPe to the ground. And nominating Trump, as will be more-or-less finalized tonight, will certainly accomplish that. I'll use that to salve my wounds while The Wicked Witch of Westchester is being sworn-in on 20JAN17.
I also get that the sort of anger that's out there - sort of like you've just taken a hot pineapple up the poop shoot and you can't even identify who did the inserting - can be blinding. Hence, Trump - a New York liberal who's convinced all of right-thinking America that he's the best possible mix of all things conservatives hold dear.
And while seeing The Witch take the oath of office is going to hurt something fierce, knowing that The Math of this country (and the global economy as a whole) is going to probably catch up to us in the next 2-3 years - on her watch - will be some comfort while I'm diving in my nearest dumpster for the morning's bounty.

Here we are on the culmination of roughly 30 years of fantasy gov't initiated by George HW Bush-
and the beginning of its completion over the next 8 years.
In 2 years, Reagan was able to get us out of a worse economic situation that he inherited from Carter and into a glorious booming economy-
that benefited every single American and increased American power abroad.
But, nope that wasn't good enough.
Cuz the pigs of the GOPe, DNCe and their various cronies weren't getting enough gravy-
I believe Cruz is the best hope of getting out of this situation-
he's not Reagan but he's the closest thing we've got.
Please vote wisely.
Even if you're for Trump, I think you'll agree that having Cruz and him mano a mano will keep Trump from drifting to the left.
The others- Mario, Kasich, Carson- aren't worth talking about.
Carson because he can't win at all.
Mario, Kasich - because they're simply GOPe shills and more of the same.

It started off years ago. A man. A President uttered six words that would turn out to be a lie.
"Read my lips, no new taxes"
He then proceeded to sign into law the largest tax increase in history. Betrayal after betrayal finally lead to become impeachment off the table right after an election that gave a certain political party its largest majority in the HoR ever.
Its not hard to understand at all.

I've been thinking that of that promise is actually kept in any sense than this is the way Trump will do it - dock the foreign aid to Mexico. I doubt Mexico will be writing us a check.
Anyone wondered what is likely to happen in Mexico when/if the wall is built? VDH pointed out long ago that illegal immigration acted as a safety valve for the Mexican government and helped prevent true reform there, so the long-term effect may be beneficial, but I haven't seen any discussion of what the short-term effects will be. The cartels are a bigger player than when VDH was originally writing, too.

National Review
National Review, a once-venerable conservative publication, has officially gone off the rails entirely, publishing an article calling Sen. Jeff Sessions a "prostitute" for endorsing billionaire Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination.
That abominable attack on perhaps the most revered conservative in the U.S. Senate ran in a National Review piece arguing that anyone who endorses Trump is a "rat" that is "scurrying" and is also a "sellout."
"The Rats Are Scurrying: Republican Officeholders Who Endorse Trump Are Sellouts," reads the headline of the article.

Sorry, there's no way a self-driving cars work with human driven cars. The AI follows rules while human are constantly reacting to the environment. Think of all the little things you notice and react to - not just weather, road condition, traffic, but the behavior of the driver in front of you (distracted by kid? looks lost and erratic? in a hurry and making quick lane changes?). Driverless cars do not do that, and will they ever?
The only way to go driverless cars is 100%. And THAT is something I do not want.

Populism was an integral part of the original Republican Party. Its only much much later that 'conservatism', so-called, arrived on the scene. And for that to happen, it made a populist and nationalist appeal.
Posted by: Bigby's Handbrake at March 01, 2016 09:28 AM (3ZtZW)
It started before that, but I think that was where the slide became irreversible. Reagan, for all his good points, did not shrink government. The last Republican president before him was Nixon, who wasn't exactly a Small Government Conservative.
I think it's time Conservatives stop deluding ourselves; the Republican Party has not been a small government, self-governance party in a very, very long time.
Trump, in many ways, is the acme of what the Republican Party has stood for in fact, if not in rhetoric for quite a while. Plus an unhealthy dose of narcissism. He's for Government Power wielded "in a good way." He's for expansion of Government Power "for conservative ends." He believes that the government can and should "take care of everyone."
Tell me how that's significantly different from either Bush. And that's why Team Burn it Down is so happy with Trump's presidency. If you can defend "Republicans" without admitting that Trump is a perfect example of what it has meant (in fact, if not in rhetoric) to be a Republican since at least 2000 (and really since 1988, or even before), then you're supporting the Party for its own sake, and not because it represents Conservative values.
If Conservatives want a voice in national politics - one that says "That government governs best which governs least" - then the fact is the Republican Party must be brought down to "other" status, and something else must rise in its place.

Agree. I'm trying to hang onto whatever fragments that I do like about him, in hopes of providing some sort of solace if he's our nominee.
But Trump doesn't even seem to know, let alone understand the Constitution. Why is exists as it does. Why it was written, what it all meant to the Founders. Its supreme importance in creating the greatest nation on earth. I've never heard him articulate, even poorly, his reverence for it. His ideals are all over the map and it's just so very worrisome. He's not grounded in a firm belief in conservatism, that much is true.

Trump is chemo."
chemo to the establishment ... and the globalists. But fresh air to the rest.
Cruz is great on the constitution, would be a great judge. But it takes a man that has decades of wrestling as an executive, managing large projects, dealing with advisers, lawyers, laws, etc.
Trump is more conservative than Cruz on TPP, and has been consistent on that issue since the late 1980's. Cruz is about the same as Trump on immigration. Both want a pause on the H-1Bs and green cards (as I have read it) till the Americans are filling positions and are employed first. Trump has been stronger on actually deporting people, but says most will "self deport" as in Eisenhower days.

He may have substantially the same viewpoint on issues, but the GOP views him as new money rabble to be dismissed. Trump doesn't want to listen to the GOPe...he wants the GOPe to listen to *him*. And I think that's why they hate him.

Exactly. Which is why it's so funny to watch the Establishment shart all over itself at the idea of him being elected.
He's them with the mask removed. He's them without hiding. Well, and (probably) less amnesty. And he will show the world what the Republican Establishment is all about.
And at *that point* there's some hope that Conservatives will finally quit living in their nostalgic memories of Reagan and start deciding they'd like some current representation.
I'm having difficulty accepting "Well, he'll make the GOPe really really mad" as a successful candidacy.
How does that get us to an America with more limited government, with emphasis on the principles of Federalism, a decrease in our debt/deficit, a rollback in the nanny state?
You're hiding a false premise in your question. How does ANY Republican President "get us to an America with more limited government, etc. etc.?"
Rubio is pro-Amnesty, and the Establishment's current darling, which tells me he's not actually all that Conservative.
The Establishment has already completely ruled out working with Ted Cruz for even a moment.
Who else is there?
If anything, a Trump presidency has a better chance of Congress having a "strange new respect" for actual Constitutional principles, as they move to reign in Trump's rogue executive (you know, completely unlike the last 8 years).

.Obamacare is already dead so that isn't really going to be an issue for much longer. Out of the 11 Co-op's still in existence, nine of them are on death watch by the HHS and they won't last out the year. They most certainly won't be out there subsidizing insurance policies for the 2017 CY when it opens the first week in November just when the next round of hikes start hitting people.
The rest of Obamacare will self destruct by the end of the year now that the feds can't give any more $$$ to the insurance companies to stem their losses.

Because it's not the power of the Presidency that horrifies them--it's someone they don't like having that power.
I had a response ready to go to that JWF open letter, but this says it better.
The GOPe and its apologists need to look reality in the face: we are not a constitutional republic and we will never again be a constitutional republic. Leave aside the fact that at least 52% of the people in this country are diseducated parasites whose only experience with the current government - and, in fact, the only experience they want - is "gimme mine, whitey!" Leave aside the fact that the GOPe has, for over forty years, betrayed the constitution by allowing the government to metastasize beyond the nightmares of the founding fathers into an all-invasive cuttlefish able and willing to drain the pockets of the less than 50% who actually work for a living in order to fatten themselves.
The left has no interest in a constitutional republic. They want their full-on fascism. They want us, if not poor and silenced, in camps. They will brook no dissent and view bipartisanship as the refuge of the gullible. The left is the enemy. The GOPe does not care about the constitution; they only want to be able to swill at the public trough without fear or respite. The GOP is the enemy.
The Republic is dead. Obama is our Julius Caesar. Trump or Rubio or Hillary or Sanders are Octavian. We are now an empire whose populace exist, flourish or die at the whim of the rulers.
So if we must be an empire, then give me the emperor who will destroy my enemies.

Causing rockets launched by Palestinians to explode over Palestinian territory will shower the innocent victims of Zionist oppression with deadly shrapnel. Is there no end to the perfidy of the Jews? Obviously this is a matter that needs to be taken to the UN and the World Court. Israelis must be prevented from shooting down missiles that are fired at them.

His view point was that in the nomination process that the word "Shall" had an inarguable meeting in the constitution.
My unanswered question was if this same intellectual giant would assign the same inarguable meaning to the words "Shall Not", when written in the 2nd Amendment.

Ace made a good point in the last podcast. Trump's one-liners went over well when there were 10 candidates on the stage. Now that the field has been winnowed down, he sounds like an ass whenever he asked to give, you know, details. He does not know what he is talking about. He thinks he can get by on bluster and insults.
He's cringe-inducing now and will be even worse in a debate against Hill. Hill will lie her head off, of course, but she'll also rattle off bs plans that will make she look reasonable and experienced compared to Trump - because all Trump can do is stand there and say "you're a mess" and brag about how he's a winner. Jesus, it will be awful.
Every Dem I know will crawl over ground glass to vote against him. Most of the Republicans I know will not vote or him at all. So - here comes 4 years of Empress Cankles and the final nail in the coffin of the Republic.
And Trump will be back in his luxury penthouse enjoying the high life.

You have been visited by the ghost of journalism past. You are now cursed with seven years of bad luck for laughing at a John Oliver segment.
The entire thing is a travesty of reporting, even by Daily Show standards, which a decade of liberal fantasizing should have made you realize is nothing more than a propaganda organ. Allowing yourself to be lulled into chuckles by smug twit John Oliver, who mocked white Europeans as a dying race literally the day before the Bataclan massacre, is enormously embarrassing.
Ok I'm done telling you off. What's wrong with the segment?
The very book Oliver holds up as evidence that Trump's name is Drumpf traces the first written example of the Trump family name to 1608, when it was changed from Trumpf.
So eat a fucking dick, John, you lying limey knob.
The spat with Jon Stewart where Trump "made fun of Jon's Jewish name?" Trump said Jon shouldn't be ashamed of the name Liebowitz. Stewart's response? "You shouldn't be ashamed of your real name either, which is Fuckface Von Nervestick." This classic display of wit took place on twitter. Google it. THAT is what they were fighting about. Subtle, sinister twisting of the facts to present Trump in an unfavorable light.
Oliver claims he isn't really self-funding because he took out a loan for his campaign. Who's responsible for the loan? Donald Trump.
The rest is standard issue soundbite manipulation by the slime at the daily show. Any politician can be shown contradicting themselves. Anyone the daily show feels a need to demonize in one of their LIV spoon-feeding segments is A-OK in my book.
I know it's easier, more comfortable, to buy into the mainstream narrative, but you're better than this.

Nope, it's full steam ahead. I imagine they're still dealing with site backend stuff and that's why the page isn't updated. I'm volunteering in MA and there's all kinds of activity on the email threads etc. Check the twitter account.

He's cringe-inducing now and will be even worse in a debate against Hill. Hill will lie her head off, of course, but she'll also rattle off bs plans that will make she look reasonable and experienced compared to Trump - because all Trump can do is stand there and say "you're a mess" and brag about how he's a winner. Jesus, it will be awful.
As if Rubio would be any better. It'll devolve into a slug-match about who's going to be first down to the border to welcome in all our wonderful, law-abiding "dreamers." And he won't dare bring up Benghazi or e-mails because "bipartisanship."
Not a slam at you, Donna. I don't see Cruz surviving beyond Super Tuesday and his only hope is to be Teh Donald's VP. But I will never, never vote for Rubio.

Yeah, I fell for the daily show gig for a while. They make fun of liberals too, see! Which is technically true. They do sometimes poke fun at Hillary or Obama. The frequency is one issue, though. That's empirical. There's also the tone of the joke. When it's about someone on the Left, the charge is always "Come on, you know better than this, here's the actual liberal position." With the right, it's "Haha, look at this idiot."

So take your toys and go home, I hear all the rather let it burn than vote Trump camp rhetoric. My answer is that you are wrong. You may not like it, but we/this country can live and survive a 4 year Trump presidency, just like we survived 8 years of Obama. I cannot say the same for Hillary, the next president will have at least two supreme court appointees, possible more. I cannot begin to list how bad a Hillary presidency will be. It will make Obama look like a choir boy. Rapist in white house, selling military secrets to China, a congress rolling over to show lip service opposition, a large up tic of "suicides", an enemy's list that would make Nixon blush. All the bad policy's that Obama would have accomplished if he had not been so incompetent and lazy. Continuation of Obamas foreign policy. So the next time we/I hear a Trump presidency wouldn't be any different. My answer is "BS". The republican congress will suddenly grow a pair and fight him Tooth and nail of he steps out of line, the Dems want support him because they will be eyeing the White house in 4 years with a far better candidate than the Hildabeast.
, Trump will be the R candidate because that is who you (the Republicans) nominated, notice I SAID YOU, as a registered democrat in Kentucky I cannot vote in the R primary. Yes I'm a democrat in name only like 50% of all Ky D's . So Trump signs the pledge not to run third party, but you and other R elite feel that because of your "morals" you cannot honor that pledge! That's why I claim pox on both your houses. I find very little differences in either party. They both talk the big talk, but while they are setting in a circle j%&(*## &&f the country goes to hell!

I know I'm not the only one getting really tired of the Trump shtick, not to mention some of his really enthusiastic supporters. As this season goes on I suspect lines will be drawn and hearts will be hardened. This test salvo is only the beginning and I think it will resonate with a lot of people.

He hasn't debated Hill yet. In 2000, Lazio lost the debate because he "looked like a bullY" standing too close to the poor little lady. If Trump stands there and insults her, the media will play the "big bad man insults elderly woman" for all it's worth. Let's face it, they'll play the gender card no matter what, but he'll give them a ton of ammo.
And the LIVs will feel bad for poor little Cankles.

Because they don't want Cruz, they want Rubio. And then they have to make the case for Rubio.
Easier by far to sell "not-Trump" than to sell Rubio.

Since winning the Nevada caucus the pro-Trump forum on Reddit has grown from ~15,000 subscribers to 40k (that's in two weeks) with over four times the activity of the SandersForPresident subreddit (which has >130,000 subscribers) and pushback re:the David Duke narrative, in the form of pictures of Hillary kissing Robert Byrd, made the front page of the whole site, r/all.
Sander supporters play SJW speech-police games and beg for donations and phonebanking volunteers. Trump supporters post stupid memes like the below and "I've donated $0.00 to Trump's campaign, match my contribution and I'll triple it."
One group is a bunch of desperate socialists and the other are having fun.

That is a fact. Trumps family name was changed, but you're missing the point. He's not playing the immigrant angle. He's attacking the premise that Trump is this wonderful winner. He goes point by point with facts to back up his assertions. Now given that the argument is about perception one can't say one or the other is lying.
But you can't deny that this is classic Alinsky tactics, isolate, freeze, and ridicule the target. Hell, Trump's been playing this game against lowly Republicans. Like I said before Repubs are pikers at this stuff. The Dems INVENTED this stuff. If a guy like Marco Rubio can get under Trump's skin then you haven't seen nothing yet.

This is how COD won the 2010 Delaware Senate primary.
Our betters attacked her, and she came off as sympathetic.
They lied about her, and the Smartest Man in Delaware felt that he was owed it.
he even ran his mouth about favoring cap and trade BS.
And the people here tried to warn everyone else, especially since Delaware went last and we had seen what had happened elsewhere (Utah, Ind?). But we were ignored and insulted.
And a witch beat the Smartest man in Delaware by 7%. And then was trashed in the general. After the Party stabbed her in the back, and Castle walked away with $4 million in campaign money. And refused to endorse her. Oh, and the weaponized IRS went after her DURING the campaign.
We think tat the shit started in 2012. It started in 2010, and the Stupid Party seems to have been complicit.

The book that Oliver held up on his show as the source for his assertion that Trump changed his name in fact disproves that point. Documents from Ellis Island show the name as Trump and the family is featured in documentation from Germany as "Trump" as far back as 1608.
It's horseshit.

Preacher asked me Sunday night what was best way to carry. Told him there were many paths to perfect carry method, some paths (holster/style) work but are not 'perfect'. Even Presbyterians like us have a suitcase (50 years worth) of holsters, different firearms and different styles of carry. He asked what about a fat guy? Told him '2 words, belly band'. Or for some guys 'belly bra'. Did not say the last out loud.

B. My assumption is that the sight of any gun is likely to deter anybody who is not too high or crazy and the sound of any gun going off, coupled with the collapse of one of their companions with one or more holes leaking blood ought to deter any rational person in the bunch but you just never know.
Any way, I am not trying to argue, just letting you know my reasoning process.

Good for you. I have seen a number of gun purses made with a top opening and two inside compartments for normal purse stuff and a central compartment reached from the side and held closed with velcro for the gun.

I wear long tunics, and am sadly clumsy (my fine motor skills are good, but gross-motor skills are sad), which makes an under-shirt holster less than ideal. I also figure that the motion of getting something from my purse would be less suspicious than my hand going under my shirt.

As I have become more portly, I have found that carrying in the strong side front pants pocket seems to be easier. I have tried a number of pocket holsters but what seems to work the best is a drink koozey turned inside out so that the cloth is next to the gun and the sticky rubber is in contact with the cloth of the pocket. Any PPK/S sized gun seems to work pretty well this way and reaching into your pocket is generally less suspicious than reaching around to behind your right hip.
I have found that other gentlemen of excessive girth seem to use this method as well after trying various alternatives.

All the polls I've seen show Trump getting slaughtered with Millenials, but truthfully that's nearly every Republican. But Trump does even worse with that demo.
If Trump wins the Presidency, it will have to be from a large section of the population that is not currently politically engaged.
If I were running Trump's campaign, I would say don't spend a penny on Tv advertising, spend it all on signing up new Trump voters.

What ever you are comfortable with is the right choice. The important thing is to practice to develop the muscle memory. Every day for a month, unload your gun, put it in the purse the way you will carry it and stand a few feet in front of a mirror. Pick out some spot on your chest, like a button. Pull the gun out of your purse and point it at that button so that the sights are lined up on the button. Do this a dozen times. As I said, keep doing it every day for a month. Don't try to do it fast. Just try to do it smoothly and over a month you will keep getting smoother and faster.
A lot of people practice shooting, and that is important, but they never practice getting the gun out for when they need it.
