Portland, OR is now the country's Capital of Leftist Tantrum-Riots.
The left keeps finding new ways to shock you. Except they're the same old ways, always:Trump's kryptonite is women's blood! So send your boxes of pads & tampons to the White House! #RedResistance
— Lea Goldman (@lea) June 30, 2017
If Republican Senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately REPEAL, and then REPLACE at a later date!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2017
Trump may be beginning the process of rolling back the Title IX Secret Rape Courts. Chris Matthews suggests that Trump would do well to imitate Mussolini and murder his son-in-law. Nice media you have there, colonel. Be a shame if somethin' were to 'appen to it. Oh too bad -- something did 'appen to it. The New York Times has begun laying off copy-editors, and they're -- get this -- protesting it.
Using words including “betrayal,” “humiliating” and “covfefe” and suggesting that management had compared them to “dogs urinating on fire hydrants,” copy editors at the New York Times today let executive editor Dean Baquet and his heir apparent, Joseph Kahn, know exactly how they feel about taking the brunt of layoffs and buyouts as the Times expands its reporting ranks. The latest flare-up comes at a moment when the Times also is dealing with a libel lawsuit filed by former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin over a Times Op-Ed column erroneously linking her to violent attacks on public figures.So sad -- just some insufficiently skilled workers who have been passed by our dynamic Global Economy, angry about their inability to compete. Maybe they should just learn IT. Judges in the EU, who are all-knowing and all-powerful, have decided that it is better than an infant should be killed than risk a chance of a trip to the US to see if an experimental cure can help him. The parents want to take him to the US for the treatment; the courts told them that their opinion doesn't matter, and that he should die.
Charlie’s parents have raised enough money from private donations to fund the experimental treatment, but the court decision prohibits his removal to the U.S. Whenever they see fit to do so, the doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital can now remove Charlie’s life support.Or, as the Washington Post prefers to say:
Against his parents’ wishes, this terminally ill infant will be allowed to die https://t.co/cq4sVYaUxT

I said this the first time I heard that retarded "repeal and replace" formulation. It is guaranteed to produce much heat and no action. Everyone gets to posture that they are in favor of the repeal part, but just can't support the bill until the replace part is right. Which everyone disagrees about exactly what it should be.
I will also say that whenever they get around to the replace part, they should stay away from any kind of big comprehensive solution. Do the individual pieces one at a time. One bill for HSAs, another for insurance across state lines, etc.

Actor James Cromwell - whose credits include "American Horror Story: Asylum" and "Babe," for which he was nominated for an Oscar - has been sentenced to a week in jail for refusing to pay fines stemming from the protest of a natural-gas power plant in Wawayanda, New York.
At trial, he argued that the danger of increased carbon dioxide justified whatever means necessary. I heard an interview with him several years ago in which he discussed saving his shit for fertilizer.

Those of us who work as professional copy editors do. It's easy to say that anyone who works for the NYT in any capacity deserves whatever happens to them, but the NYT's denigration of copy editing as a specific skill set may well leak into academic publishing and similar fields. I've done academic copy editing as well as writing for over 20 years now and I can tell you that copy editing is not something that just any old hack can do. And given the NYT's appalling track record of typos as well as factual errors in recent years, they can ill afford to sack the copy editors. They'd do better to can Pinch Sulzberger and Dean Baquet.

You said "pep, I agree with Colorado Alex. Also, the phrase death with dignity
always seems to be used as a euphemism for "go ahead and let that person
die, whether they want it or not."".
Yes, but he said "Once you accept the idea that some lives just aren't worthy of
continuing, it's easy to decide that others' lives aren't worthy of
continuing ". I specifically said "provided it really is your choice". So I think we are in agreement that the state should not be in the life or death business.

This is so horrific. I just cannot fathom how this could be allowed to happen in a civilized country.
And I do agree with you as to saving your child by any means necessary, but it seems impossible at this point. The hospital will not release the baby, and because of the publicity and the legal actions, he is under guard. Also, he is on a feeding tube, at the least, and who knows whatever other life support he's on. If the hospital doesn't cooperate, the poor thing would probably die before he even got to the States.

How about we leave the government sanctioning out of it. Let's just say that if there is a right to end one's life, libertarian or otherwise, there should also be a right for those who wish to assist, voluntarily, to help those who need the assistance.
The only role for the government should be to make sure that the person who is deciding to die has really made that decision for themselves.

It establishes a number of things:
1) It forces the legislative weasels to take an unequivocal stand one way or another.
2) It eliminates the mandates, taxes, etc (and subsidies, and payouts, etc.) that this mess created.
3) It clarifies and makes more urgent the need to actually address the issues involved.
Someone said they should tackle items piecemeal.
That is correct. Omnibus shit is just that - shit.

care' in the country (and I realize how dumb that sounds, but that's the
language they use)."
If repealing Obamacare means "millions of people will die", per the hysterical shrieking to that effect, and since repeal equates to absence, then why didn't the nation experience a huge wave of millions of deaths in the 1990s, during the Clinton administration, when Obamacare was absent due to nonexistence?
That's really how Trump should spin this.
Repeal not only Obamacare, but also Dubya Bush's various forms of federal meddling in health care, in one fell swoop, and describe it simply as a return to the status quo ante of the Clinton years.
It'll be very difficult for liberals to describe that as The Most Terrible Thing To Have Happened Since Ever, since they spent most of 2016 deep in gauzy retrospectives of the Clinton 1990s as having been an earthly paradise for everyone.

I have a dear friend from the Netherlands, whose father was suffering from Alzheimers, and deteriorating badly with dementia. He was frequently incoherent and lost toward the end.
He chose euthanasia, and it was administered last year, in 2016.
I understand the practical and personal choice aspects of this, but in the end, it is all deeply disturbing.
I have know quite a few people suffering (and later dying) from dementia. But the whole idea of euthanasia is not truly a moral idea.
It is a pretty distressing direction of where our ideas of a society are going.

I hear you my brother.
In much of the spiritual teaching I've received during my life, it has been said many times that all of us, every last one, truly know the difference between good and evil, regardless of how we comport ourselves and what decisions we make. By extension, it has been suggested that those that believe evil actions are proper and defensible, are, in some fashion, mentally ill.
Man is flawed by nature, even the Pope. It pains me to come to the realization that our Pope suffers from mental disturbances.

Pass the following...
1. Allow insurers to devise and sell any plan, to anyone, anywhere
2. Pre-tax HSAs with no monetary limit that are transferable to any other HSA holder.
Attack the supply side by deregulation, tort reform and lowering the threshold for certification of Drs and healthcare providers so you can attract more people to become Drs and providers.
The only way for something to become less expensive is for there to be more of it.
The current system does not follow this precept.

When's the last time someone dragged you to a Yard Sale or to a Flea Market?
Not my idea of a pleasant Saturday.
Posted by: Soothsayer
I used to love yard sales -- but in recent years they have been completely subsumed by cheap Chinese junk being unloaded. The "rare collectible treasures" phase of yard-sale-shopping is now sadly a thing of the past.
Flea Markets, however, have always been a different thing altogether, and I also hate them. Too predatory. The customers are the prey.

The other issue is that stuff at flea markets has already been identified and classified as to its purported value, so you can never get an undervalued "bargain." Yard sales, by contrast, can contain mis-valued stuff -- score! At least in the old days when there was any good stuff left.

California leads the nation in solar power. Nearly 14 percent of the state’s energy is generated by rooftop and utility-scale solar. And on March 11 of this year, for a brief period during midday, 40 percent of the state’s electricity was coming from the sun.
But the solar surplus comes with a problem: The state’s energy grid can’t deal with all that extra renewable energy. To avoid blackouts due to the energy glut, California actually had to pay neighboring states to take the extra energy on dozens of occasions this year.

Yes, although the more I'm around the other parents the less I mind. People are f*cking NASTY. Middle/upper-middle class folks in a good school, too. Yes, you touched something when you went in that bathroom, sir. It might have only have been the handle to get in and out, but you still touched it. I don't care if you have magical powers that relieve your hands from all contact with your body when you need to excrete waste, but you still touched the f*cking door.

I had a yard sale a few years after my parents died, and one of the items was a ceramic rooster that had been sitting in the dining room when I was a kid.
I wasn't trying to make money, I just wanted to get rid of some of the clutter in the house that I had no use for.
I think I sold it for a dollar. I could see the woman who bought it's face light up. I talked to her a bit and she said she collected them. I asked her what it was really worth and she said $25-$30. I smiled and said, "Good for you!"

Selling ivory is totally illegal in California, now, and they DO enforce!
I inherited some ivory statuettes from a relative who passed away, and who has long treasured them as "valuable," but I quickly learned that anything made of ivory is now valueless, because it is unsellable. I eventually hooked up with an unethical dealer who agreed to sell them under-the-table to rich Chinese collectors, for about 20% of their pre-ban "value." It was the best I could do.
Three months after this transaction, the dealer was busted for selling ivory, and went to jail as a result!

I heard something like that. I'm hoping, because I got a chunk of fossilized mastodon that I was going to use to make a few appointments on 2 guitars I want to build, because the wood I have is 50,000 years old. I figure keep as much of the damn thing ancient as I can.

I yoked that they should put up the average net worth, too. Probably astronomical.
It is beautiful in that area. Thankfully, Santa Barbara continues to act as a filter, and very few of the teeming LA masses seem to ever go beyond.
Leaving CaliGirl's area still wonderfully quiet.

She made E5 via a meritorious selection board back in Q1, and was told she could wear the rate but her pay wouldn't kick in until Q3. Apparently they're gonna get a visit from the CNO and he's gonna pin her rate so she'll get paid effective the day she puts it on.

Bertram, that solar figure is impossible to believe.
It was from a radio show today. I heard the promo spot for it but didn't listen to it. Here's the link. It's an NPR Science Friday program so I'm skeptical. I retired from an electric utility and we had NO solar stuff.

Brad Pitt owns a beachfront house right on the south side of El Capitan state beach. He's owned it since he was married to Jennifer Anniston.
He got in trouble with the locals for driving quads on the beach. He also is fighting a hiking trail that I think the state wants to build right next to his property. He's fighting it big time.

I know that I have asked for prayers too much recently a nd hopefully my life will calm down so that I don't have to anymore, but I need prayers for 2 possible big things that may happen within the next few weeks in my world of work. One is funding from one of the top 5 big givers among foundations that fund conservative causes. The second likely won't happen but it's a meeting with a VIP that could open all kinds of doors for me.
Please pray for those 2 intentions if you're able to?

Yeah, they pulled it out of some prehistoric bog in new Zealand. A shit ton of it. It wasn't expensive either, and was all preserved. I think for a classical guitar the wood to make the back and sides was around $115. I bought 2 sets just to see how it worked out. Nice stuff, looks a little like cherry.

He zoomed up behind me, changed into the left lane, then swerved back in front of me and slammed on his brakes. It's a miracle I didn't hit him, but my reflexes are pretty good.
There was absolutely no reason for him to do that. WTF?

People assume that if someone "wrongs" them it was done out of malice or stupidity.
In such a case they feel 110% justified in retaliating.
He pulled out in front of me even though there was no one else on the 3 lane road. Heck, I just figured that maybe he misjudged what lane I was in before pulling out. I went to pass (signaled first, checked for rear clearance) moved into the lane,and that is when he cut me off. He signaledAS he moved over.

Plenty of poor drivers with excessive energy, a deep sense of entitlement and diminished judgement assume that they are never to be inconvenienced by another driver. They are primitives who have not adapted to civilization. Any other driver causing them to take action is treated as a personal insult.

If he had taken one step more I would have. Thank God he did not.

I was about to pull out of a shopping center onto the main road. A woman was behind me in her car. I started to pull out, then saw a pickup truck come flying through the red light.
I slammed on my brakes, and the woman rear-ended me. We both got out, and she was all apologetic. I said, "It wasn't your fault! Did you SEE that?"
She hadn't. And of course the pickup truck who caused the accident was long gone.

This story is really about Big Government acting to crush them and take away their choices. They raised the money for this experimental treatment, and they really wanted to try it (even if it might not work). They were blocked by their socialist health "care" system precisely because, if the treatment proved successful, it would make said socialist health "care" system look inferior by comparison. Can't have a socialist program look bad! Wouldn't be prudent.
