Overthinking the Dem nominee for 2020 ...
It won't be Biden. Since 1980, they've had 2 successful candidates. Clinton won because of significant dissatisfaction of Republican voters who split with Perot. Obama was because he was historic plus a dose of GOPe fatigue. Hillary was to be another historic. Trump polls 89% support of Republicans. Without historic at the top of the ticket, the Dems have no motivation And they'll never get Obama level turnout and support from blacks again--even if Obama endorsed him, they weren't voting for Biden then or now Posted by: RoyalOil, Vicroy Canadian Territories at July 16, 2019 09:54 AM (k81AA) 143

Latino? Gay? My current thinking on this: The Dems would never admit it, but after a semi-black President, a brown President just doesn't excite them.

@realDonaldTrump
Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don't have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show "weakness" and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat..... Congresswomen, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our Country. Get a list of the HORRIBLE things they have said. Omar is polling at 8%, Cortez at 21%. Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party. See you in 2020!

A man arrested after federal law enforcement officers found more than 1,000 guns at a home in one of the richest areas of Los Angeles has been charged with 64 felony counts, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.
I don't believe there is an unlawful quanity of guns, so the "1,000 guns" is click bait. Los Angeles police said at the time of the seizure, which it called one of the largest recoveries of weapons in LAPD history, that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives received information that a person was selling and manufacturing illegal guns, which led to the search warrant. This is a big flag .. LAPD is notorious for "loosing" seized guns .. which end up in the collections of members of LAPD Posted by: SMOD at July 16, 2019 10:20 AM (QkjLD) 297

*looks up history of Bu No 122179*
It was a F4U-5P photo Corsair. Only about 30 were built though 39 Bu Nos were allocated for the -5P. Went to Honduras as FAH-604. Was one of the Corsairs returned to the US where it was damaged in a crash. This plane should have been saved instead of another -5N. F4U-5P Bu No 122169, first -5P built, of VC-62 off USS Leyte was shot down over North Korea. The pilot was rescued but then the H-5H rescue helicopter ran out of fuel, killing all aboard. https://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/f4u/122169.html Posted by: Anna Puma at July 16, 2019 10:23 AM (UVPuB) 312

Communists have been trying to use race as their entry card into the
U.S. for 100 years. Richard Wright, a communist at the time, wrote extensively (in the 1930s and 40s) about their goal to use race and white guilt to grow and fortify communism in the United States and how it would work. In his most famous book, Native Son he wrote about the criminal "Bigger Thomas," who despite being a rapist, a murderer, and an abuser, is excused by the communists and defended because he's such a clear example of what the US "society" creates by being racist. What's going on now is EXACTLY this same scheme, or maybe they really believe it, I don't know. It's sorta amazing to watch this stuff and see the Frankfurt school, WEB Dubois, Richard Wright (Obama hero) and global communism advancing the same exact plot they've been using for a century and no one seems to recognize it--except maybe Lindsey Graham, for the love of God.

337 Communists have been trying to use race as their entry card into the
U.S. for 100 years. -------------------- The Rothschild's weren't commies. "The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed... Therefore they sent their emissaries into the field to exploit the question of slavery and to open an abyss between the two sections of the Union." Bismarck.

Who doesn't have a void in their life to one degree or another, though?
Plenty of non-basement-dwellers have followed what they were assured was the path to meaning and fulfillment, only to find it was a lie. So they sunk years and years of their lives into the effort of it, for nothing. That's pretty sad. I can only surmise that "looking for meaning" means that somewhere along the line they missed developing an ontology based on anything beyond the physical, aren't interested in learning skills, don't care about learning for the sake of knowledge, and think fulfillment comes from the outside, not internally from self-respect.

People have nothing in their lives that give them meaning, so they attach themselves to memes ironically in order to fill the day. So, when a show they like features talk of a McDonald's sauce that hasn't existed in 20+ years, they latch onto it and scream at McDonald's to bring it back. They do this in the internet space and in meat space. The idea is that there's ironic fun to it, but you can tell that it stems from some kind of void in their lives. Modern life is really sad in many ways.

317 'American Pickers' found and fixed Aerosmith's 1970s tour van
.. What did they pay for it? Posted by: HA at July 16, 2019 10:28 AM (MAstk) $25,000. Have watched all the episodes about this, including the finale last Sunday, where Mike, Frank, and Danielle present the van to Aerosmith. I'm not 100% sure how much it cost to preserve the van( Aerosmith and the pickers didn't want to fully restore it, just make it safe to drive and replace and age some of the non salvageable metal on it. Inside, the drivers seat still is bolted to 2 x 4's , etc.) The pickers were going to do it at cost only, but Aerosmith ended up giving them an additional $10,000 grand as a reward for their efforts. Well worth watching the episode, although man, the guys in Aerosmith close up really are showing their age. Posted by: Jen the original at July 16, 2019 10:48 AM (FMlhO) 483

I find the perceived lack of meaning to be a self-inflicted wound. It used to be, my parents being vile outliers, that raising a family, living a moral life and participating in basic community activities gave life "meaning". Now the left has so debased the idea of family and morality, and expanded community to include "the world", that many people are left grasping. The most depressed patients I ever had were ones who threw away any semblance of traditional life, chose a self-centered, hedonistic one, and became hopeless when they were left alone.

Biden: I'll Challenge Trump To A Push-Up Contest If He Questions My Age Or Mental State

God doesn't "hate."
Posted by: dagny at July 16, 2019 10:50 AM (nRWPy) I disagree. He hated Esau. Hates evil. Hates divorce. There are plenty of direct examples from the Bible of God hating. Posted by: Insomniac at July 16, 2019 10:52 AM (NWiLs) I think the most charitable reading of such things is to suggest that humans cannot contemplate the mind of the Creator, so we attribute to Him such notions as "hate" and "love," when in reality, we have no clue how that works. It's an open question, as far as I'm concerned, as to whether the Creator has any affinity for us at all, or that the Supreme Being is even remotely interested in our comings and goings. I believe God is God, and He does love us. I don't fear His hate. What scares me is His indifference.

Hard to understand the Old Testament properly without the New and vice versa. As for OT and wrath, Jonah's story mentions how He tends to be more forgiving than he represents himself. He presents himself as a Father, and that involves discipline. Posted by: Someguy at July 16, 2019 10:59 AM (p997d) 537

I disagree. He hated Esau. Hates evil. Hates divorce. There are plenty of direct examples from the Bible of God hating.
Posted by: Insomniac at July 16, 2019 10:52 AM (NWiLs) No. God is all good, he IS "good." Evil is the choice of the irrational in opposition to the rational movement toward the Good. Esau chose his own path by choosing the irrational, evil is the opposition of the good, divorce again is a free will choice to move against the objective good. Those are all things that man chooses in opposition to the rational, the Good which is, who is God. God allows men the free will choice to not choose Him and objective goodness and the consequences of those choices, but He doesn't "hate." He only loves and wants what is good, but doesn't stand in your way when you choose.......poorly (or even forgive the poor choice without your recognizing it, asking for forgiveness, doing penance, and accepting the consequences). The supra-mundane mind of vast intelligence does not hate, it only allows the action of the free will. Being subject to the consequences of sin isn't because God hates.
