Sorry for the repeat post (I left this near the end of the ONT), but it's a nice shot of happiness on what looks to be yet another lousy day, so I thought we could all use it: Robbie Williams and Olly Murs singing "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book

I find it depressing, as I find so many things these days, that the progressives are capable of acting in the most reprehensible manner, from verbal "assaults" to downright physical violence, and there really is no significant public outcry or demand for enforcement of laws aimed at maintaining a civil society.
But, I predict, when the first bona fide "white/Christian" conservative goes on a rampage to protect his, or his families, personal safety. The entire might of the uber state, aided by the fifth column press, will come down on all of us with unbelievable quickness and ruthlessness!

We have one of these in our basement.
And truth be told, they do tip pretty easily if serious attention is not paid to weight distribution in the upper and lower shelves.
My guess is that IKEA sells more dressers worldwide than any other furniture manufacturer.
Plus the fact that IKEA furniture of this type tends to fall into the "Affordable Starter Furniture"price range.
Which attracts those who have little experience with living independently.
And now have children.

My guess on this one: the massive worldwide wave of xenophobia and racism as recently manifested in the Brexit vote caused these poor young men of some (redacted) religion or other to lash out due to the fear and backlash they feel in their peaceful communities. And Trump. That goes without saying.

Cynically, I just assumed that they were being settled in areas that some large corporations wanted them settled so as to avoid having to fill jobs with H2Bs. This would leave the H2B program available for those communities and employers that don't want them settled in their backyard.

Nope I doubt it. As I said yesterday although ISIS hates Jews and Israel and will pay lip service to that hate, it is really not their main focus. Inter arab feuds and general hate of the infidel are the main reason for almost all terror, not Israel. And the Turkey-Israel "truce" has not even been signed yet and was just announce a few days ago. I am 100% sure it had nothing to do with this.

I was thinking about that; you run a couple of wood screws into the drywall, and then sue the drywall company AND Ikea when the furniture tips over.
Or you run a couple of wood screws into the studs in the wall, which works until the kid climbing on the furniture gets to be eight or ten years old and weights fifty pounds....
Or you could use a couple of lag bolts which works until the kid climbing on the furniture causes the back panel of the dresser to pull free from the frame . . . breaks down the drawer, and falls. ..
or the two hundred pound adult standing on top of the dresser to change a lightbulb. . .

Filing cabinets are a worse problem than dressers because they are typically high and deep so a loaded and fully open top drawer really changes the center of gravity. I notice my antique dresser actually has much smaller drawers on the top so unless I put lead bars in there and extended them I would have trouble changing the CG by very much.

I dont use their little strap; I use wood screws to attach a small (6") strip of 1x2 to the top piece. Then use the expanding bolt things with a soft washer to fix it to the wall. I pre-drill holes in the 1x2 and the fiberboard backing of the furniture. You need the 1x2 to clear your baseboards. I also run a little battery powered string of xmas LED lights (the tiny kind for decorating displays, maybe 12 lights), down the back. So I can see in the drawers in the morning without waking wife. Batteries last about a year.
Big bonus - wife knows we can't rearrange the furniture.

I kind of wish that Ace would look at the morning threads, it might help his depression and blood pressure.
Suffice it to say that I think he is buying into the media narrative regarding Trump's chances and spiraling into a mind set that isn't borne out by the facts.
Anyway, in polling news we have a new poll that has entered the mix. I'm curious if Allah will bother to post about it, since it isn't a "sky is falling" scenario.
Quinnapiac released the latest in their polling series and finds Clinton leading Trump 42% to 40%. This is a very significant result, since the last time this poll was run, Clinton was leading 45% to 41%.
As I keep pointing out, Trump can't get above 40%, but then Clinton isn't sealing the deal with the voters either. She is shedding support at time goes on, despite that giant outlier ABC poll.
Let me point out one possible scenario for November. The people on the edges that recoil from both candidates could end up voting for Johnson or Stienberg in decent numbers as protest votes, allowing one of them to win with around 40% of the vote. I can guarantee that Trump will pull at least 40%, so there is a realistic scenario where that is enough to win.
One other possibility that is likely to come into play. People have a way of "getting used to" odd politicians (Boris Johnson is a pretty good example). The GOP voters are getting used to the idea of Trump. With 4 months to go, it is possible that the Independents will do the same, especially when all the "Dump Trump" nonsense is finally put to bed.
In any case, the polling numbers do not support abject despair at this point. Clinton is in a very poor position and is a horribly flawed candidate. The media narrative isn't reality.

Team Clinton Spent $26M on Battleground Ads in June. Trump Spent $0.
Check out the chart.
or the week, it's $7.5 million to $0 in the eight battlegrounds of Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia. And when you add future ad reservations, it's $140 million to $0.

The truth is that any other GOP candidate would be running away with things right now. But our voters chose Trump so he is what we are going to work with.
It is just that Clinton is so flawed that it might be that she can't win no matter who we run.
Dropping 3 points in the Q poll during what was supposed to be a "terrible" period for Trump? You have to be a terrible candidate to do that.

To them, the fact the Department labeled the facility 'temporary' excused shortcomings in the compound's physical security. A 'temporary' designation enabled the facility to skirt a host of written internal security requirements that applied to more permanent locations. We also learned it was an improvised designation not used at any of the State Department's other 275 facilities around the world."
so much we don't know
so much we'll never know
this was purposeful
(and yes, I have heard Beck's views, and the weapons running schemes)
I also read that the very people the State Dept considered our "allies" were the ones who refused to help when the attack happened.

One of the big reasons Clinton is not getting as high as a ROI is that she is in the news for Benghazi and the email scandal - that's obvious. She's been washed of all sins by the media of Benghazi at this point.
But with her endless pile of money and the media on her side, she can still win. She should be toast by now with all that is going on. The money is still helping her tremendously.
Money talks.
Hopefully Trump is waiting to hit the airwaves in battle ground states after the convention. I assume that is what is happening. The GOP is not behind him, so there is not much money to spend right now.
And ground troops. It's nice to read even some of the Cruz campaign is helping out with this. He needs to step up his game.

Different voter sets. I get pretty tired of this silly concept that the Trump Fans insist on throwing out. The strong Trump support that drove him to the nomination represents only 12% of the electorate. It was enough to get him the nomination, but it is still only 12% of the voters.

_______________________
You can love people while disagreeing with them. You can love people while abhorring their destructive behavior. You can love people while telling them "no."
If you were a parent and had a child who was screaming "I hate you!" while trying to slap your face and spitting at you, would you say "that's okay, Junior, because I love you, so you just keep doing what you're doing because it would be un-Christian of me to try to stop you"? Of course you wouldn't. You would tell Junior to go to his room and stay there until he composed himself and was willing to behave in a civilized manner. You wouldn't apologize to Junior and tell him that YOU were the reason he was so hostile and aggressive, and that you clearly needed to say more nice things about him, so that he would have higher self-esteem, and give him a more generous allowance and more expensive toys, so that he didn't have reason to feel so hateful towards you.
If you had a neighbor who screaming all over the neighborhood that you are an a-hole, and was throwing rocks into your windows, and bringing his dog over to crap on your front porch every morning, would you say "Gee, Neighbor, because I'm a good Christian and it's my duty to love everybody, I'm going to invite you to move into my house and live with me, and I'm going to give you my ATM card and password, because I obviously need to show you that we're all part of the same human family"?
Love doesn't mean becoming someone else's doormat or punching bag. It also doesn't mean becoming their slave, or their sugar-daddy. In fact, doing those things is most un-loving, because it shows that you don't respect the other person, and that you don't believe in their integrity.
If you really love someone, then you should be willing to deal honestly with them. And that means telling them when their behavior is unacceptable to you.
Islam is a misogynistic, homophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, violent, supremacist ideology. That is a fact, and it is not un-Christian to recognize and acknowledge that fact. It doesn't mean we hate Muslims, but it does mean that we strongly disagree with their belief system.
If there are some Muslims who want to come to the U.S. and they are willing to respect our culture and our laws and behave accordingly, then most of us have no problem with that. But inviting in millions of Muslims who openly loathe us and despise our culture, and who are actively working to undermine us -- or even kill us -- is simply insanity. And it is not "un-Christian" to point that out, and to oppose it.

and you are saying the republicans who would vote for anyone OTHER THAN Trump will vote democrat.
and you are ignoring the open primaries where democrat voters did vote for Trump
and you are ignoring the democrats who won't vote for Hillary.

I think Ace hated it. I'm not a protectionist, so I'm not a fan of what he wants to do. However, I have to admit that the themes and points he was making are persuasive. They would make really good sound bites in commercials, and would attract voters who are suspicious of China in particular.
They are tactically good points for an election, even if they aren't good policy (IMO).

We're in a trade war, but the belligerent is the US government. It's true that China is an enemy, but it's beating us mostly through stealing our patents and tech. That must be stopped.
The only thing tariffs do is tax the American consumer and line the pockets of the cronies who pay the stooges in Congress to enact them.

This is hardly "killing Trump" in the swing states. Those are pretty weak numbers for her. Yeah, she is winning, but not by a lot. And those are head to head numbers and don't account for the Libertarian and Green candidates drawing voters off.

She's been running ads unopposed and the best she can get is 43-44%? That is pretty bad.

Disagree completely. All tariffs do is tax the consumer and make sales of our goods overseas harder.
The best thing we can do for the economy is cut the life out of the IRS, EPA, OSHA, BLM, DoE, etc. and unleash industry and entrepreneurs. Then, let competition from within and without decide where the chips fall.

Step 2) Confuse the issue by talking nonsense for a few posts
Step 3) Throw out "Hillary is leading by +6 in most polls"
Step 4) Hope no one notices the fallacy

No they aren't an economy killer. Up until about 50 years ago we've always had tariffs of some sort. Free trade among diverse countries is a utopian dream. It might work as a mental exercise, but in reality it fails. Let's say, the US made one item (the super widget) each year, that was made by one person, that we traded overseas and represented our entire economy. Then we had to import everything else. Would we have a healthy economy? An economist will look at the GDP number and tell you yes.
Smoot Hawley wasn't the reason for the depression. We had far less trade then and the change in trade was only a couple of points.

You can't cut the life out of those agencies. It would require congressional action. You could encourage China to institute those same agencies because some of them actually have value. But they're never going to do that.
Or, you could calculate the price advantage that China has by polluting their air, water, and people unfettered. Then build it into their cost In some punitive way.

Remove the friggin' tariffs, open up markets and let producers compete. Tariffs are in effect taxes on consumers. They invite retaliation from abroad. You're not in command of your facts.

Once upon a time long ago, when I lived in NYC, I rented a car. I knew gas was like $1 cheaper in NJ, so before I returned the car I drove across the river to fill up. I just pulled up, started pumping, no big deal. And 30 seconds later this guy comes running out of the little office screaming no, no, no, stop, stop. And I'm like huh, what? No thanks man, I don't need you to pump for me, I'm goof. He was acting as if I'd just killed someone, in committing this horrible crime of pumping my own gas. It was kind of funny since I had no idea what the fuck he was saying (accent) and he was getting really upset that I wasn't listening to him.

He got called out on all sorts of terrible jobs, but the worst was when he got a call to what looked like a simple field fire started by a cigarette.
Nope. Got to the center and discovered a "log" that would not go out no matter what they did. They finally got it out and...yeah it was a woman.

I'd be willing to bet that the stock market isn't representative of the actual economy and is being kept afloat by accounting magic (read: bullshit). If the next president has the wrong letter next to their name, look for everything to tank.

Well the amazing thing is that the tax hike was like a bolt out of the blue, they are always talking about hiking the gas tax but I didn't think they would actually do it.
I guess it's the fat mans gift to NJ on his way out the door.
Basically my tank just went up 2.30 every fill and the knock on effect from businesses hiking transportation fees to cover increased fuel costs as well as municiplaities jacking property taxes to cover the now massive new fuel expenditures is going to be felt far and wide.
This is a freaking catastrophe.

Yeah, that too...
You know, after watching a variety of charts the past few days (and beyond - didn't just start last week), it's really starting to look as if the MSM completely punted (surprise, surprise) the impacts.
I mean - look at the Euro vs PS vs Dollar vs other commonwealth currencies, oil and NG, and actual (not predicted) trade dollar flows - and it's very clear that GB did NOT take a beating of any sort. In fact, one might (I'm tempted to write up an analysis that no one would read) be able to assert that Brexit "hurt" the EU "more" than GB...

Should I shoot at the swat team that comes to kill my dog and take my guns or submit meekly to proper legal authority?
Is Bill Clinton a crook that got away with his crimes by bribing people with illegally diverted tax money or a savior of the US way of life by electing Republicans and implementing Republican policies?
Was George W Bush a patriot who lead the country through trying times or a war monger who enriched his family and friends by starting wars all over the world based on a false flag attack?

They keep screaming their god is the greatest. But their 'chosen' son - Ishmael - lost his birthright to a younger half-brother. Then there is Esau's lost birthright. They deny a human can ever 'know' any bit of their god, he is beyond this world yada yada yada... then when a righteous person of Islam dies and ascends that thread to face judgement, their god can still say 'nah, to Hell with you.'
Is it any wonder they have plenty of issues? They are Zathras with bomb vests.

We do some of you insist we either implement tariffs, which never work, or do nothing? Is this how you do business, either you let me do something stupid or I do nothing!
Businesses do deals every day around the world. They are forced to negotiate deals that are mutually beneficial or they don't do a deal. They don't just say, sure, bone me in the ass or I'll do something stupid.
We have an excellent example of tariffs implemented during Obama's term. Obama accused the Chinese of dumping tires in the US so he implemented a tariff on Chinese tires. The most comprehensive study I've seen said it worked! If you consider that at most the tariffs "saved or created" 1200 jobs (a dubious claim) and only cost US taxpayers about $1.1 billion dollars. Super.
http://tinyurl.com/hwvxumf
Tariffs represent a fundamental manipulation of capital and resources. They don't happen in a vacuum and they don't come without consequences.
The reason we have so many bad trade deals is moron lawyers like Obama and his team have been negotiating them for decades. The choice isn't status quo or tariffs, the choice is status quo or putting someone in the job who understands how business actually works and letting them negotiate better deals.
This was one of Romney's biggest selling points. It should be The Donald's but he's off to a bad start. I'm hoping his rhetoric on this has a shelf life no longer than his muslim ban or some of his other dumb ideas.

"Trump has corralled the support of 33 per cent of Hispanic voters, a number that outperforms Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008"
So the "Build a Wall" guy is doing better with Hispanics than the "Amnesty for All" guy? It's almost as if Hispanics don't just vote blindly based on racial issues.

Guess what? They have (or should have) a right to do what they want with their business. I believe it's called "freedom." You have a right to purchase from that company or another.
And maybe if we reduced all the regulations and labor costs that drive the cost to do business up, they wouldn't leave in the first place.

A lot of the working and voting hispanic immigrants hate watching illegals come, pay no price, pay no taxes, get tons of benefits, jump lines in front of relatives, avoid laws, avoid compliance of laws, and basically get to live free while certain members that a lot of the legal immigrants came to the US to escape, have not come here to terrorize these neighborhoods as well.
