Go willowed:
I post at a community car website formerly parasitically attached to Jalopnik, so it's full of deranged leftism, but one of the guys there, a professional welder, has a post up (article, really) about the reality of crime in Detroit that's worth a read: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/detroit-versus-detroit-1791760970 Eye-opening, and heartbreaking. Two of his own cars and three others stolen from a fenced lot, and his entire welding business, gone. Cops running protection rackets. Crooks posing as cops, incompetence, even a press car belonging to a major manufacturer ripped and stripped. 4% of vehicle thefts resolved...

Posted by: joe, living dangerously at January 30, 2017 09:33 AM (KUaJL) In the story, it was his faithlessness to God that caused him to lose his strength-he valued the relationship with Delilah over his relationship with the Almighty. Since the Philistines put him on display after capturing him and putting his eyes out, I'm guessing he was still buff, but lacked the ability to do anything with his strength.

Did you get a restraining order? I went down to the PD and reported the harassment, and they told me if he does it again, that establishes a pattern and I should get a restraining order. They wrote off the 3 times in one night as him "having an episode." I told him, I went down to the police station and reported your harassment, and they suggested that if you do it again, that establishes a pattern and I'll get a restraining order, and you know what that means? It means you're out of this building because just by being here you'd be in violation and you can be sure I'll report you. Leave me the f--k alone or else. You've been warned.

So Trump is going to announce his SCOTUS nominee at 8pm tomorrow? Let me throw a little conspiracy theory out there: On one of the Sunday shows, there was a reporter (maybe from WaPo? I don't recall) who said the reporters had to take turns covering Trump's twitter feed because the odd hours he was tweeting wouldn't let them sleep.
I have this picture in my head of Trump sleeping with a serene smile at 5AM when a flunkie hits the button on the tweet, knowing he had them up late and awake early. I think he's screwing with them. If he had told me he was going to apply enhanced interrogation techniques on reporters I would have voted for him twice.

I love the Samson story, both for showing how very easily we can become arrogant and vain and assume that we deserve or earned some gift that was really just a miracle. (And bonus for my stepson -- it's a great object lesson in getting led astray by chicks.) But I love the end. "And Samson's hair grew." No matter how faithless and undeserving we are, God remembers his promises and cares for us in ways we may not even notice right away.

Rubens is another of the Netherland artists, Baroque in this case, who is amazing. Look what he does with light, texture, skin tones, and placement. Even if the viewer doesn't know the story of Samson, the power of the painting still portrays deceit and a heartbreaking downfall of a hero. Knowing the story just deepens the emotional impact.
Not all of Rubens' works are dark. Look at some of his portraits of royalty, they seem to glow. I am not formally religious, although I have faith, and even I realize that people are diminished by their distance from knowing the Bible. Having that distance result from cultural attitudes and legal restrictions damages our society. Posted by: JTB at January 30, 2017 09:48 AM (V+03K) 87

I have this picture in my head of Trump sleeping with a serene smile at 5AM when a flunkie hits the button on the tweet, knowing he had them up late and awake early. I think he's screwing with them. If he had told me he was going to apply enhanced interrogation techniques on reporters I would have voted for him twice.

I recently heard someone teaching on this and they pointed out that by this point in his life Samson had broken every single Nazarite vow *except* the hair thing. Once that was gone (and I always say "Dude..really? She keeps doing whatever you say will harm you.") there was nothing setting him apart from average people any more.

Slightly O/T but art related.
A couple of weeks ago someone (sorry, don't remember who) mentioned the DVD "Tim's Vermeer". I ordered a copy and watched it Friday. It is the story of a Texan, inspired by the book "Vermeer's Camera", tries to recreate the methods that made Vermeer's paintings so different, lifelike, and detailed for the time. Convinced that Vermeer used optical technology of the day, he works out just how it was done. He chose the painting "The Music Lesson" for the test to see if the techniques would let anyone to paint like Vermeer. Sounds kind of dry, perhaps. Actually, it is a fascinating documentary. Tim learns to grind lenses needed for the devices, create oil paints, use lighting, prepare canvas, and many other matters using only materials and techniques available to Vermeer. They show the people Tim meets with to discuss the effort including, to my surprise, Martin Mull. It's a combination of detective work, innovation, and discovery. In the end, Tim is able, with months of work, to recreate "The Music Lesson" as the finale of several years of effort. (It helps that Tim is a self-made millionaire and inventor.) The production is top-notch, produced by Penn and Teller. There is also some humor such as when Tim, who plays guitar, picks up the viola da gamba and plays the opening notes of 'Smoke on the Water'. Even though I'm only marginally able to understand the technology involved I found the process to be riveting. And the actual painting process was fascinating and revealing. The attention to detail, more than most viewers even see in the painting, was eye opening. I really gained a greater appreciation of art and artistic technique. This is a Blu-Ray with DVD version and worth every penny. Sorry for the wall of words. Posted by: JTB at January 30, 2017 09:51 AM (V+03K) 107

The other part of the Sampson story is about the connection between the Israelites and the Philistines.
Being obsessed at one time about the Sea Peoples, the Hittites and the change between the Late Bronze age and the early Iron age, I ran across a lecture of Aren Maeir who is excavating the site of the Biblical city of Gath, which was a major Philistine city on the fontier with the Israelites. Very interesting stuff on the melange of cultural bits showing influences from across the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as DNA studies of animals, reviews of cooking equipment and so on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAZPJRtdjmk Posted by: Kindltot at January 30, 2017 10:04 AM (BVxQW) 155

Hello, fellow hordlings.
So, this morning the front page of our paper has an article devoted to the wymyn who attended the March for Death in DC. You'll be shocked to know a local Methodist church gave them a "safe space" (the words of the pastor) to speak. Then, there's an AP piece titled: "Miltary: First-known comba death since Trump took office." And so the death tally under Trump begins. Oh, and there's one more stunner. A letter writer sez under Trump we'll be killing hundreds of innocent people with our military death machine. I guess TFG's drones didn't count. /rant off Posted by: Jane D'oh at January 30, 2017 10:08 AM (PY9jH) 178

MSN runs a headline - "Papa John CEO say America is headed down path of Germany." First reaction upon seeing that? He thinks Trump=Hitler. But if anyone reads the story, he says we're becoming like Germany under Bismarck, with businesses being buried by regulations. So of course MSN tries to frame it differently with the headline.

327 By the way, I am sadly unread in the Bible.
It's never too late to read and study it. Heck, I use the YouVersion App. You can get reading plans on there, and it will send you updates and reminders. You can do a "year plan" where you read a little every day, and if you do the "chronological" plan it tries to make it so that the events are chronological order (not 100% possible, but it reads more like a story than not in that way). Posted by: GMan at January 30, 2017 10:41 AM (sxq57) I can second the appreciation for YouVersion. I'm currently about halfway through a 365-day plan to read the entire bible, Genesis to Revelations. It's great to have a gentle nudge that disciplines you to read a certain amount every day and I probably wouldn't have done it without the app. Posted by: joncelli, Fuzzy Yet Deplorable at January 30, 2017 10:44 AM (RD7QR) 342

OT-whatever the track was. ;^)
I was having a conversation with the seminary student who is on her way to school and talking on a hands free cell phone. It was hard to hear. Anyway, I am trying to organize auditions at the church for a Lenten Drama about Judas and Peter-and was asking is there were any regular meetings there so i could work around them. I thought she said. "We have a plumbers group." I said, "A plumber's group?" What is that-a support group for plumbers or AA for plumbers? She said "No; A plumbers SCHOOL." I think plumbers are very important; It is a good field to go into, but the idea of am AA group specifically for plumbers made me laugh, although I hope that they get the help if they need it.

Actually, I think the number of airframes operated by the US Military in the 80's was probably about right. F-16 for a fighter, F-15 for a multirole platform, F-14/18 for carriers, and some nasty mothers like the A-10 for CAS/Tactical stuff. The IDEA of the F-35 doesn't bother me.

I'm one of those people who go through red lights after midnight if I feel threatened. Here's the thing: Detroit has gone feral. It went feral after the riots in the 60's. The media loves to talk up the city, but it's all complete and utter propaganda. When people from out of town talk about buying houses for $100, I laugh at them. They're wasting their money. If the house was $1 they're be wasting that dollar. There are only a few groups that live in the city: 1. black criminals and welfare baby mommas 2. elderly blacks and whites that are too poor to leave 3. whites who MUST live in city because of a job/ DUI BTW...

I think both McCain and Flake are very vulnerable in AZ, particularly Flake in 2018.
Not that is matters for McCain as he's not up in 6 years and supposedly his "people" are saying its his last term. The big problem why McCain can't get knocked off is conservatives simply don't give his primary challengers any money, but McCain walks in with like a $20 million war chest every time. My plan with both of these as an AZ voter is probably to just start voting Democrat for that office if they keep getting through their primary.

-Very smart college student who's struggling with their core classes but acing that gender studies course --- I just found out that a Republican friend of mine who works for the Pistons had to go through mandatory NBA "diversity training." It was horrific. From what he told me, I probably would have gotten a "migraine" and left due to my "health". Gist: You're white and had advantages? You should feel bad about yourself. Really, really bad. And you were required to share your feelings about your guilt with the group. BTW, my friend didn't feel guilty. He's marked for the FEMA camps. What did they accomplish? They p*ssed off the white people who were supposed to feel bad about themselves. Then made the blacks who did not have the same advantages feel bad about themselves, and dislike the white employees who did things like "have their parents help them with their homework as a child." Basically, this actually made the working environment much worse, and created issues between individuals and departments that were never there before. But it made the NBA happy.

446 There has to be a mechanism to remove Senators that the voters elected.
The only bacon InSane likes these days is that which comes with efforts to start WWIII. Posted by: Pepe, Moar Pleaae. at January 30, 2017 11:06 AM (j8aRL) This is why our founders required Senators to be appointed by the governor of the state they represent. They could be recalled by the legislature. They were beholden to a state's legislature, not working on their next election and catering to big donors. Then the progressives convinced a large percentage of Americans that Senators being appointed was "undemocratic"(we aren't a democracy, but by then the progressive infiltration of the American mind was well under way). So the 17th amendment was ratified by 36 state legislatures after popular votes in those states, etc. And now we have the same issue in the senate that we have in the House, only on a more serious and larger scale because only two senators represent entire states. And spend the vast amount of their time catering to donors, and worrying about getting reelected for term after so they can enrich themselves.

If the people rose up and ran out the oligarchs and the narcos and then got serious about combating corruption they would have a second world country in no time.
Pet peeve ragestroke time. The Second World is (was) Soviet-dominated. See, the First World was us, the West, Anglo-American (mostly), mostly capitalist and enlightened. The Second world was the USSR and its vassals. Everyone else, that is, the potential battlegrounds or additions to either "world," was the Third World. So "Third World" isn't supposed to mean "shithole," but that's kind of how it ended up looking. Post-Cold War, First and Second World-designations don't really apply, but for whatever reason, Third World has.

Not that is matters for McCain as he's not up in 6 years and supposedly his "people" are saying its his last term.

Well they finally did it. The lefty mods over at spacebattles finally pulled the trigger and temp banned me for more then a year. The intolerent Authoritarian bastards just couldn't handle the fact that I was unwilling to roll over and go along with whatever crap they said. They couldn't deal with an open and proud Trump supporter who was unafraid to remind them about how much they have lost and how far out of power they are and will be. It was fun while it lasted. My hope is that when the ban is over I have more to taunt them over. If you are up for a good time just go there to taunt them. It is fun to watch them rage in impotent fury.

Pet peeve ragestroke time. The Second World is (was) Soviet-dominated. See, the First World was us, the West, Anglo-American (mostly), mostly capitalist and enlightened. The Second world was the USSR and its vassals.
Everyone else, that is, the potential battlegrounds or additions to either "world," was the Third World. So "Third World" isn't supposed to mean "shithole," but that's kind of how it ended up looking.

I've had problems with the direct election of Senators since forever. One of the worst things to ever happen to this country.
Posted by: Pepe, Moar Pleaae. at January 30, 2017 11:22 AM (j8aRL) Agree. It destroyed the design of the American government which was done with historical review and experience. The founders knew the House, with representatives directly elected by the people in small, close districts, often just neighborhoods at the time of farming communities, would be prone to mob rule and pressure over events and would vote emotionally and with thought of being reelected for those who were politically ambitious. Senators were to be more removed from that pressure by having an entire state to represent, with it's various farms, towns, cities, ports, borders, etc. and were to be deliberative and a "cooling off' place for hysterical legislation passed by the House. They could only be removed or appointed by a state governor, who also represented an entire state. with Senators being elected, now they only represent whatever district in their state funds their campaigns and brings them lobbying dollars. Hence why you have situations such as Michigan where we have a Rep. gov. Republican legislature, and two worthless Democrat Senators. A Republican candidate for the Senate cannot get enough funding to actually run a campaign to over come the Democrat machine. Posted by: Jen at January 30, 2017 11:32 AM (z0fov) 542

Why, exactly, is he so popular down there? I know he's pro-military, but does he go around Madonna styling handing out BJ's for votes?
Posted by: DoublySymmetric at January 30, 2017 11:05 AM (8hICw) Kinda. You know what gets politicians re-elected? It isn't their positions. It is constituent service. If you get stuff done for constituents you will get re-elected. That is the big reason why incumbency is so powerful. it isn't just money. It is that you can do stuff for people that a non-incumbent can't. Like getting somebody's mother's Medicare bill straightened out. You do that, they don't care about how you voted on this or that committee vote. Really. Graham is from roughly the same area as Strom Thrumond, and he was elected to the seat that Thurmond held. He inherited a lot of Thurmond's staff. And Strom was the longest serving Senator, ever, because he excelled at constituent service. Graham's staff continues in that tradition. And he will continue to get re-elected until he stops. Posted by: blaster at January 30, 2017 11:37 AM (tewYv) 570

"Where I think political correctness got in the way of what we all knew as reporters and didn't fully deliver was how hated the Clintons were in the heartland," the "Meet the Press" host admitted Thursday to former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer in a interview for the "1947" podcast.
"And I think it was a fear of, 'Oh, is it going to look like it's sexist, anti-woman if we say that?'" he added, pointing out that on the hustings he saw numerous "Hillary for Prison" signs adorning the front yards of rural America. "I think we underplayed it a little bit out of political correctness fears," Mr. Todd said. "No member of the press corps wants to look like they're singling out a group and making a group feel bad, right, whatever that [group] is. "If we sort of were straight-up honest and blunt about hey do we understand the level of hatred that's out there and you know, all the Hillary for Prison signs that are out there, we certainly would have at least made the viewer know, hey, you know, she's not well-liked in some places in this country in ways that's times 10 when it comes to Trump," he said. --- Chuck Todd "'Hillary for Prison' signs adorning the front yards of rural America" There is a subtle message in those signs that just isn't expressed in "she's not well-liked". It's the message that these folks don't like her not because she is a woman, perhaps not even because she is a Democrat, but because they believe she acted in a manner as Secretary of State that is described by the US Code as illegal.

Hello, pixelated friends.
Got the call this morning. There's a hole in the universe where my eldest brother (73) used to be. (Been waiting for this for a week and a half since he was sedated. Cancer -- and apparently enough related med malpractice complications to make him untreatable.) He had eyes that looked right through you. Never see them again in this life.

A couple of weeks ago someone (sorry, don't remember who) mentioned the DVD "Tim's Vermeer". . . . I really gained a greater appreciation of art and artistic technique.

Immigration during that stretch '29 - '65 was very very low. Yes, there were some what we now call "family unification" exceptions that kept up a trickle.
It baffles science, but during that period, especially of course the latter half, the US not only produced the greatest economic and technological booms in human history, but some of the greatest social "progress" as well. Why, it's almost as if every single myth and trope about immigration being required for x, y, and z - regardless of everything else, in context - is, dunno, ignorant nonsense? Hard to imagine.

In the Screen Actors Guild we make it work by insuring everyone a vote and by keeping everyone informed. I believe that, as Thomas Jefferson put it, if all the American people know all of the facts they will never make a mistake."--Ronald Reagan, before treason was normalized The SAG Awards Show last night was like a Klan Rally with tuxedos, swag bags and better plastic surgery.

I didn't see a link to who in Mexico said they might send in their armed cartel armies, but I did hear some official there saying the drugs were not their problem, it was our fault because we buy them.
Yet they are against the wall. They are a narco state, more and more. And dems like Holder seemed happy to supply them with weapons. Dems are the party of organized crime, as far as I can tell. At some point we will have to confront the various mobs ... Chinese, Russian, MS-13 ... there is no reason these should be functioning in this country, except that they have roots deep in government. Maybe we cleaned up some of the most violent elements, but at the same time perhaps they also infiltrated more deeply into our cities. And speaking of such crime/terrorism. Any "protest" organized by wealthy "donors" with intent to cause economic destruction (blocking highways or airports) is not free speech, it becomes criminal very quickly. The left feels if they can create enough "chaos" (by detailed planning to obstruct and break things) that our government must yield and obey them. This has been the leftist plan of subversion for decades ... it is their version of jihad. Lizzy Warren may have just destroyed her presidential hopes (she's too old anyway) by claiming Trump's actions were unconstitutional.

And their attorney should be sued for malpractice. He should have told them once DJT was elected: GET YOUR BEHINDS OVER THERE NOW. Instead they celebrated the holidays with family in Syria before getting on the plane to join their relatives here. So I'm not laying this one at DJT's doorstep.

Posted by: Deplorable Male Logic at January 30, 2017 12:31 PM (lKyWE) ===================== I lived in Rome for a little more than a year, and my first exposure to real protests was there. I didn't use much public transportation because I was poor, so I walked everywhere. When I couldn't get through a Piazza to get to work because hundreds of dumb college students waving Soviet flags were blocking everything due to the idea floating at the time that college students should pay SOMETHING for their education, I lost all sympathy. If I were a voting Italian, I would have determined to never support them ever. I think that experience is analogous to low information voters in America who don't really know what's going on, but who DO have the power to vote.

This covers short-term business/pleasure travel visas, claim they're not able to compile data on student visas (where is probably where most of the overstays are from places like India, China, Saudi, etc.) The places with very high percentages generally seem to have very low numbers, indicating that 10-25% of the short-term visa admittees had fraudulent intent from the beginning. The Visa Waiver Program countries with the highest overstay numbers and percentages are - not too surprisingly - failed European economies: Italy, Spain, Portugal. The problem places with high numbers seem to be in the 2.5-10% range. Canada's tourist-overstay rate is higher than China's, and Mexico's is only 1.45%.
