The Quotes of The Day


Quote I


"We will be working the U.K. They'll have a new prime minister soon, which is a good thing and we'll be working with the U.K., but we have no written agreement, but I think we have an agreement, which is longstanding," Trump said. "This only goes to show what I'm saying about Iran—trouble—nothing but trouble." President Donald J. Trump


Quote II

Again, by all means his opponents can, if they so wish, ridicule, caricature, and blast Trump and hope he fails. But after trying for nearly three years to destroy the president and prematurely remove him by any means necessary before a scheduled election, please do not appeal to the better angels of our nature—while deploring the new “unpresidential” behavior of Donald J. Trump for lashing out at those who sought to reduce him to a common criminal, pervert, traitor, dunce, and Satanic figure. Victor Davis Hanson


Quote III

“There’s all sorts of different ways to do capitalism. There’s the kind of maximization of shareholder value. There’s the more stakeholder value perspective… that fundamentally affects how public and private come together. That’s what I think needs completely rebooting rather than to start calling things socialism.” Mariana Mazzucatos

I'm sure you have heard, "Why don't you go play in the freeway." We all knew it what it meant. Meet the "child" who took that advice.

In 2017, Flores filed a lawsuit against the driver, the city and county of San Diego, the University of California, San Diego, and the UC Board of Regents.

Flores's attorney, Jerold Sullivan, argued that while his client accepted her responsibility for the accident, others shared blame as well. Sullivan claimed that according to Flores, campus officials had encouraged the protest, did not control it, and failed to warn students of the danger of walking onto the freeway.

According to the UC San Diego student newspaper, the Guardian, the lawsuit stated, "The protest continued all over campus for hours and was never stopped, controlled, or refrained by the County of San Diego, City of San Diego, State of California, University of California Regents, or the University of California, San Diego."


Too stupid not to play in the freeway, perhaps too stupid to attend college. Just thinking out loud.

Not only is he a fat f*ck. He's a whiny fat f*ck.

Bob Beckel says his departure from Fox News wasn’t all it appeared to be.

The former Fox News contributor claimed over the weekend that his termination from Fox News in 2017 was actually orchestrated to get him out rather than the result of an insensitive remark he had allegedly made.

Beckel spoke about his firing on “The Weekend Report” on St. Louis-based KFTK 97.1 FM Saturday, acknowledging that he was violating his confidentiality agreement in doing so even though he had told producers ahead that he wouldn’t be able to answer questions about his termination due to legal reasons.

“I figured he wouldn’t be able to talk about it, you know,” TWR host Tony Colombo told The Daily Caller.

I have new found respect for Northwestern's football coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald isn’t a big fan of phones and social media.

The rising coaching star went viral over the weekend after Rick Tarsitano posted a video from Big 10 media days. In the video, the Wildcats leader ripped into social media and people addicted to their cell phones when talking about the decline in attendance.

Quite the wedding reception crasher. President Trump pops in at wedding reception.

President Donald Trump crashed a Make America Great Again-themed wedding at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club Saturday night.

The wedding was complete with red hat-wearing guests and “Trump 2020” flags in the reception hall.

PJ Mongelli and Nicole Marie, who tied the knot at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, are both “huge Trump fans,” TMZ reported. Nicole Marie reportedly sent several invitations to the president hoping he would come, “including a booklet that showcased encounters that she had with him, including rallies and Trump parties,” according to TMZ.

Every woman has the right to a wax, of her scrotum.

Biological women will never understand the struggles trans women face every day. Have they ever had another woman turn her nose up at the mere sight of their big hairy ball sack? Of course not. Cis women need to learn to know their place.

One of the great things about America is the right to pick up and move where you want to. Wealthy New Yorkers are fleeing in numbers to Miami.

Call it fight and flight.

Affluent New Yorkers, financially distressed by recent changes to the nation’s tax laws, are bucking the Big Apple’s high costs and heading for an economic paradise — Florida’s Miami-Dade County area.

The famed resort is luring the disgruntled urbanites with the prospect of a considerable annual tax and cost-of-living savings of between $20,000 to $120,000 for high earners.

One tongue-in-cheek sales campaign for 5,000 residential units and other properties in a tony Miami suburb has even posted the letter of resignation New Yorkers can sign and deliver to family.

“After careful thought and consideration, I’ve officially decided to leave the Big Apple to move to the true apple of my eye: Downtown Doral in Florida,” states the boilerplate letter on the Unhappy New Yorkers website of Downtown Doral.

Will the new immigrants vote themselves the tax and spenders into office?

The Commandant of the Marine Corps Just Changed the Game

When one’s life is spent thinking about American Seapower—specifically, its importance to the security and prosperity of the nation and how best to provide more of it more effectively—a great number of articles, papers, speeches, doctrines, concepts, and statements must be digested and sometimes produced. The overwhelming number of these efforts are pedestrian, self-evident, banal, controversial for the sake of being so, and or repetitive. And while the cause of American Seapower is advanced by some of them, the gains made are glacial and incremental. Until now.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General David Berger, recently issued the single most consequential bit of thinking to guide American Seapower since the series of articles and briefings that accompanied the Maritime Strategy of the 1980’s. Known as the Commandant’s Planning Guidance, the document is by definition, Berger’s statement of intent for the next four years, and the kind of thing new service chiefs promulgate in order to align their services behind their vision. If that were all this document is, it would be worth reading, if for no other reason than as is customary with the Marine Corps, 180,000 plus Marines and their enablers will read it and cite it as gospel. But that is not all it is. This guidance is a roadmap for the embrace of Integrated American Seapower, considerable Department of the Navy reform, tectonic shifts in the Marine Corps narrative, and innovative capability evolution. As soon as the new CNO (VADM Mike Gilday) is in office, he, Berger, and Secretary Spencer should head off to some secluded hideaway for ten days and figure out how to expand this guidance into authoritative vision for the entire Department. It is that good, it is that insightful.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Mis. Hum. and I moved in the last year. But if we hadn't I could see moving here.

Anyone in the market for an offbeat, one-of-a-kind home that will have friends and family talking for years should look no further than the former gun tower for sale in Pembrokeshire, on the southwestern coast of Wales.

It’s in need of a little work – okay, a lot of work – but it could be a unique, three-story waterfront home for someone with a little vision and a whole lot of elbow grease. The property is going for a relative song, a mere 70,000 pounds; usually a vacation home on the water goes for many time that amount and is being marketed by Zoopla.com

The gun tower was constructed in 1851 to defend the Royal Dockyard from potential invaders. It has three levels, and the guns mounted on top are original. The possibilities for renovations are limitless.

Remind me again why we are allies of Turkey.

ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey would retaliate against what it called an unacceptable threat of U.S. sanctions over Ankara’s purchase of Russian S-400 missile defenses, its foreign minister said on Monday, adding he thinks President Donald Trump wants to avoid such measures.

Turkey began receiving deliveries of the surface-to-air S-400 systems earlier this month, prompting the United States to begin removing the NATO ally from its F-35 stealth fighter program over security concerns.

“If the United States portrays an adversarial attitude towards us, we will take retaliatory measures, as we’ve told them. This is not a threat or a bluff,” Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with broadcaster TGRT Haber.

Nothing says "We are serious about crime" unless you are a Genius Award Winner.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in British Columbia have apologized after livestreaming a press conference on the murder of an American woman and an Australian man on Facebook Live with an augmented reality “cat filter” turned on, per the Daily Beast.

According to BuzzFeed News, Sergeant Janelle Shoihet said during the conference on Friday that police had determined the deaths of 24-year-old North Carolina woman Chynna Noelle Deese and her 23-year-old Australian boyfriend, Lucas Robertson Fowler, were “suspicious.” The couple was found shot and killed near their 1986 Chevrolet van alongside Highway 97 on July 15, with Canadian authorities calling for anyone who saw the couple, the van, or were in the area at the time to contact them for help with the investigation.

80 There's all sorts of different ways to do capitalism. There's the kind of maximization of shareholder value. There's the more stakeholder value perspective... that fundamentally affects how public and private come together. That's what I think needs completely rebooting rather than to start calling things socialism

I invested MY money in mutual funds. Mariana Whatzername sounds like a freeloader who wants to benefit from other people's hard work and money. The capitalist companies don't owe her jack shit. If she, and the rest of the public, want to be stakeholders, they can take money out of their bank accounts and buy stocks.

Trump for lashing out at those who sought to reduce him to a common criminal, pervert, traitor, dunce, and Satanic figure.

If one person ever spoke to or about me the way hundreds of people talk about Trump, I'd be triggered. Traumatized.

154 I'm just an observer but is it really necessary that the Marine and Navy command become operationally intertwined again? Does the Navy have to be involved in Stryker brigades and Tank battalions? Seapower isn't as important as it used to be and I don't think it's a bad thing that the Marines have become an elite land force.

Now I don't know the political advantages of eliminating the independence of the Marines and going back to the way it was but I assume that's a consideration since there was talk of reducing the footprint of the Marines.

166 I dont see those new Yorkers moving to Doral Miami. For one, the place seems as overcrowded as a NYC in which everyone and I mean everyone insists on driving for the slightest errand. Getting caught in the slow as frozen molasses rush hour in Doral is an absolutely maddeningly frustrating experience. Haven't been back in eight years. Same with Miami Beach. I avoid those cities like the plague.

There are much nicer areas south of the city of Miami like Pinecrest and East Kendall. Coral Gables is nicer than Doral too. But then again, there are a multitude of better locations in Florida than Miami.

I honestly dont see where in Doral they plan to fit all those people.

I would like to see some cutbacks on different programs around the armed forces, but it would only be to give maximum funds to the Navy.

We're in peace, and we're a country that sucks ass at wars of conquest, and excels beyond all except possibly Russia at wars of national survival.

I think it makes sense to "over" build our Navy at the expense of our ground capabilities while we can, as it will determine our position in the next major war with regard to force projection. Our Navy should be able to ruthlessly pummel any nation from air and sea to prepare the battle space, while at home we can force men into uniform at will and divert funds to them, if the time comes for the Real Deal.

B-2s would have had to tank at least once. BUFFs are at least theoretically capable of doing ASC-Falklands-ASC on internal fuel. I suspect that BUFF mission planning would have had a refueling at a thousand miles out, just to provide fuel for a divert if ASC was weathered out.

392 The central premise of Mazzucato's work is about the role of the state in innovation. She is an ardent believer that governments should do more than play a passive role in fixing market failures, and be allowed to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit to steer the direction of innovation and economic growth.

That's totally retarded.

The only role government has ever played in innovation has been in defense work and, even there, government isn't exercising any sort of "entrepreneurial spirit". Government has no "entrepreneurial spirit". Government has no concept of profit and loss. Government has no concept of private property of its own, since it has none, by definition.

The phrase/concept I was taught was 'source documents'. Read them for the unfiltered story, not what someone wrote about someone's book on what someone said about a particular issue/event.

It's like the Trump 'pussy tape'. What the lefty media says Trump said is now the narrative versus the unabashed Truth of Trump's statement: "If you're rich enough, women let you grab 'em by the pussy." Not politically correct but then, no Truth is ever politically correct.

The other thing I was getting at was that you should never 'trust' the sources, especially when they are out of living memory.

A professor used an example of an account by a fur trader (diary) which was being used to see the effect of measles and other diseases on Indian tribes.

First person account are often regarded as the most valuable and 'closest to the event'. However, these are the ones that are the most perilous because you receive the writers bias whole cloth and without any contradictory material- indeed it is filtered out. You get their version and nothing else and that might well not be reliable.

Another example I can think of was a WWI mini series where they used a Belgian child's diary to expound upon the atrocities there. One, he was maybe 11 (maybe younger.) Two, Belgian.
