NY Magazine Dramatically Edits Story from "Stop Bugging Hillary Clinton About Giving a Press Conference" to "Why Hillary Clinton is Avoiding Giving Press Conferences"
In both cases, it's an alleged member of the press pressplaining why Hillary shouldn't talk to the press and why other people in the press saying she should talk to the press should just shut the hell up.
But the original said some Mean Things about Hillary Clinton, like the fact that no one likes her and she isn't as good at lying about her lies as she needs to be. So, it looks like someone from Team Hillary called up New York magazine, read them the riot act, and had the article rewritten to be even more pro-Hillary than it originally was.@Hadas_Gold @seanmdav Discuss amongst yourselves… pic.twitter.com/SNlwWkxXap

By the way, even in the allegedly "unscripted" public interactions she has in lieu of press conferences, she, get this, scripts the questions.

I don't even want to read it. We lost a Blue Angel pilot today, and immediately after Obama's blathering to the AF Academy grads, a Thunderbird doing a flyover crashed. Thankfully, the pilot survived.
Tonight, three Ft. Hood soldiers are dead and six missing in the Texas floods.
I don't give a shit about much else. My heart breaks for the families.

In every interview when Trump is asked a hard gotcha type question, he should refuse to answer and respond with "Have you asked Hilary about Benghazi or her habitual lying about her emails? I'll answer your question once you start asking Hilary the same kind of questions."

Wife was just reading me Dan Rather's tweet about Trump's attack on the media. a friend retweeted it she doesn't read his BS.
He goes on about how the media is under attack by Trump and they are all good and shit and should defend themselves.
Now after being fired for deceptive reporting shouldn't he just STFU and be hiding somewhere w/ his huge pension and not bother us peons anymore w/ his slanted BS view of the world?

Between Her Royal Crusty Pantsuitness and the daily asswipe shitcapades of President ClownCar's administration, pulling the lever for Trump has got to be the easiest decisions ever. I hate Trump, but I can't fathom the metaphysical dimensions of loathing for Trump that would countenance the likes of Obama and HRC as an acceptable alternative..

Joe Hallenbeck, you mean you couldn't bear to hear the next president's voice - much as we both literally cannot hear the current one's voice and have avoided for years now - even if he were announcing some sort of huge shake-up at EPA, or DOJ, or the cancellation of all the noxious exec. orders on immigration enforcement, or an aggressive reversal of the hostile federal posture on energy exploration on public lands?
These are all very plausible things, though obviously not guranteed. But in those cases I'd think most of us could stand to listen to a minute or two.

My wife watched his actual words when he was attacking the press, they were shown ONCE AFAIK on Fox, never anywhere else.
He cited specific instances where they slanted things against him. One was a rally in DC, the headlines said something like...Trump disappointed in turnout at DC rally.
The actual fact was he was disappointed that they blocked off access from the Jefferson Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial. Many more would have attended but were blocked. Who ordered citizens blocked from free expression of their opinions as guaranteed by the constitution?
Now who ordered that access blocked off? No one seems interested in that, including Fox.

Don't see why anyone would be annoyed at your noting the very sad news of the day, Jane. These tragedies have been noted and discussed as details emerged throughout the day.
Saw the Blue Angels' first show of the season in El Centro, CA, their winter training home, back in March. Very sad about the crash today. It's been a while, I think, since a Blue Angel went down.

Hey Bruce! Did you see the Leaning Tower of Elon come into port today? I posted links in a couple of threads to a woman who was streaming it live. Something called Periscope which I've never heard of, but apparently it lets you upload cell phone video in real time.
As to why it was leaning, SpaceX released photos of the landing. One of the legs really got hammered.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacex/27349970361/in/photostream/
It landed dead center, but since one leg was compressed, the opposite leg was in the air, causing it to rock back and forth with the wave motion. It "walked" right to the edge of the deck. If the crew hadn't gotten it secured, it would have gone over the side.
The big yellow crane's got it now, so it's OK.

2) Only two women appear in the film: One is a barmaid at the far end of the bar when Rock Hudson receives a phone call; The other is seen embracing somebody, before Rock Hudson enters another pub.

Most ironic moment of the day.
Barry gives his blathering speech to the Air Force Academy. The Thunderbirds to a flyover, and one of them goes down almost immediately after. The pilot is okay.
Later, the Blue Angels are practicing, and one goes down, with the poor pilot.
I can't even.

Combing through a decade's worth of unanswered emails to the Mohammed Image Archive. One of them said this:
" I just want to thank you for a terrific website, that helps me as a researcher.
Appreciatively Yours,
[name]
Professor of xxx
[famous university]
and
Distinguished Professor
[different famous university]."
I was writing a quick thank-you note back, with apologies for a years-long delay in replying, when on a whim I Googled the person's name.
My oh my.
Turns out this person who emailed me literally a living legend, a "contemporary philosopher" on a par with the great philosophers of the 19th century, and has been showered with accolades, awards and positions.
And then I dug a bit deeper to find that...they are also a flaming leftist who has written treatises in praise of the Frankfurt School and "the long march through culture" to total socialist revolution, and so forth.
But, most of this stuff was written in prior decades. They're pretty elderly now, so not much current stuff online in a two-minute search.
Hmmmm.
So I kept elaborating in reply, and ended up sending this email back:
---
"Dear xxx,
Sorry for taking four years to reply -- I get thousands of emails every month to the Mohammed Image Archive and generally do not have time to answer them all. Now I am taking two months to try to catch up on a ten-year backlog of correspondence!
Thanks for writing -- glad to hear that the Archive is helpful to the academic community.
Having said that: To the extent that I can decipher your overly intellectualized and euphemized political beliefs, as typified for example at [website giving text of speech the person gave], you seem to be enthused by the whole Marxist/radical/revolutionary/leftist framework, a fact which I find more than a bit depressing. Even though I myself self-identified as a liberal/leftist earlier in life, my outlook underwent a complete reversal after the shock of 9/11 (or, more accurately, after the shock of witnessing first-hand the leftist applause for what happened on 9/11). I can only hope that you too "saw the light" in recent decades/years (that lecture you gave, after all, was from the '90s), and you are less enamored of the Frankfurt School and it heinous influence on Western civilization.
In my view, any kind of utopianism leads inexorably to coercive totalitarianism, so that all utopian fantasies and schemas, such as Marxism and its many descendants, are inevitably fascistic in their ultimate implementation. So the root problem is the urge to construct a "perfect society" in the first place. It matters not what type of society is envisioned, or by what route one seeks to achieve it. Ultimately, for the utopia to be created, individuals and individualism must be crushed, and then any evidence of the crushing be memory-holed. It is this cycle (the attempt to impose utopia, and then to suppress evidence of the horrors of such implementation) that has caused 90% of suffering throughout modern history.
Anyway, despite our possible political differences, I'm glad I could be of service!

Even though I myself self-identified as a liberal/leftist earlier in life, my outlook underwent a complete reversal after the shock of 9/11 (or, more accurately, after the shock of witnessing first-hand the leftist applause for what happened on 9/11). I can only hope that you too "saw the light" in recent decades/years (that lecture you gave, after all, was from the '90s), and you are less enamored of the Frankfurt School and it heinous influence on Western civilization.
In my view, any kind of utopianism leads inexorably to coercive totalitarianism, so that all utopian fantasies and schemas, such as Marxism and its many descendants, are inevitably fascistic in their ultimate implementation. So the root problem is the urge to construct a "perfect society" in the first place. It matters not what type of society is envisioned, or by what route one seeks to achieve it. Ultimately, for the utopia to be created, individuals and individualism must be crushed, and then any evidence of the crushing be memory-holed. It is this cycle (the attempt to impose utopia, and then to suppress evidence of the horrors of such implementation) that has caused 90% of suffering throughout modern history.
Anyway, despite our possible political differences, I'm glad I could be of service!

Well, our son filled us in on training even at 29 Palms.
Kids die. They die from roll-over accidents in armored vehicles.
We just never hear about them.

If you don't train as is it were the real thing ( or as close as a reasonable facsimile can be) then you will not be prepared when the bell rings. Don't assume "bad leadership", that really is an insult to many of the fine men and women in the Armed Forces. Training accidents have been going on since there was a Military. It is why just being in the Military carries some risk

But what is not acceptable is stupid dumb shit that causes us to lose a HANDFUL of men during training in Texas.

The military has become so politicized, and always has been.
My dad left as an AF Major in the sixties because he, a test pilot and one of the first 50 men in the U. S. to fly a jet, was fed up with the suck up political weasels he knew. How he hated them. They loved politics more than their country.

My take: We learn no new lessons. Just the same ones over and over again.
That's why the quality of training and especially NCOs is so critical.
Well, we trained a Division in risk assessment.
May they not have died in vain.

Our son had a battle buddy visiting last week from MD.
I noticed the poor kid could not control his upper body arm movements.
Seems he, too, has had issues with the VA since suffering injuries in Afghanistan with our son.
Our son has given up on the VA. After October, he'll be free of the VA and free of the possibility of being called back by Barry Soetero.
Pisses me off TO NO END. These sweet, brave, kids.

It would be a lot easier for everybody if they would just add their name at the top of the press releases and print them. It is when they try to be creative that mistakes like this one are made.

Hobart resident Carlos Villarreal squabbled with Veterans Affairs officials for months over getting an MRI to assess his nerve damage from a mortar attack in Iraq. He finally had the test done 2,000 miles away.
The disabled Marine veteran gets his care through Jesse Brown VA Medical Center on Chicagos West Side, but that facility doesnt have an open MRI, which he says he needs because of claustrophobia from his post-traumatic-stress disorder.
He tried to have the testing done locally under the Veterans Choice Act, which is supposed to allow vets to seek care in the community if they cant get treatment quick or close enough through the VA. The law was passed in response to the discovery that dozens of veterans in Phoenix had died while waiting for care.
But problems with that programs vendor for Northwest Indiana, Health Net Federal Services, have left many veterans unable to make appointments and many providers not getting paid in a timely fashion. Villarreal, 31, was one of several Region vets featured in a December Times article that documented issues with the program.
Then in March, he went on vacation to Puerto Rico.
While he was down in the U.S. territory, he stopped at a local VA medical center. He found it had an open MRI. He had the testing on the spot.

A) Were you there? Do you know what happened exactly?
B) Wars are not fought only on sunny pleasant days
Posted by: Nevergiveup at June 02, 2016 08:59 PM (Ozsfq)
A) No I was not there and no one, including me, will never know exactly what went wrong.
B) Yes, in the real world, wars are fought 24/7 independent of the weather, lack of supplies, ratio of enemy forces to your forces, etc.
C) "Train like you fight, Fight like you train!" makes sense, but crossing a low water ford in flood conditions at all costs just doesn't seem like good training.
In the end, it's a commander's judgment call (and never an easy one), but I wish someone had made a different call today!

Of course and I am sure they will do an investigation and hopefully come up with something to prevent that from happening again..my point is that in war and in training shit happens, people make mistakes, equipment fails, tactics fail, and on and on. And good leaders are not the ones that never make mistakes, those kind of leaders are usually sitting in the rear with the gear ( like me), good leaders learn from mistakes.

i was told to do many stupid and dangerous things in training...
i just ignored alien orders.
like the time i was told to drive my 113 down a nearly vertical slope on Planet Irwin...
i said nope.
sgt gave me an order, and i still said nope.
he told me to get in back and he'd drive.
i said nope, i'll just stand over there, get out my camera, and take some photos... then go see about getting an 88 and the medics
the rest of the crew said, we're with him.
the "nco" backed down and we took a sane route instead.
there's a whole lot of stupid people in uniform.

Wasn't aware of the friendly fire losses at Slapton Sands, just those caused by German torpedo attacks.
Sobering - well, most of us who know such things are already fairly sober about serious things like this - the losses in WWII. Single battles with more KIA than multi-year campaigns now.
And the US had it "easy", comparatively, in WWII.

3 - Lefites failed because candidate was too badass to let crossing a freeway come between him and making a speech.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the British regarded any training exercise where there were not 10% casualties (injuries, although occasional deaths as well) as not training hard enough.
I don't think that has ever been US policy since every injury seems to get written up and investigated but there is something to that idea of training hard so that fewer people are lost in combat.

I'm not sure being in a relationship with a woman who wants to be with 13 year old boys is a plus, unless you're 13, I guess?
Still. 20 something man + 13 year old girl = GET A ROPE!
20 something woman +13 year old boy = dude, score!
I don't get that attitude. She's a sick piece of work, no matter what she looks like on the outside.

re the LMTV: the driver is ultimately responsible for where when a vehicle goes, even if a TC or other senior person tells them to do something...
the MP's wouldn't let a civillian truck enter flood waters, so this likely isn't a training accident so much as a total screw up on someone's part... and most likely they're one of the casualties.

Hard, dangerous, yet intelligent training is a requirement for a professional military. Goes back as far as Rome. There's that quote from Josephus I believe, about how among the Legions, "their drills were bloodless battles, their battles bloody drills".

I don't think there has ever been a Thunderbirds and a Blue Angels crash on the same day. At least I've never heard of it. Talk about a one in a million shot.
I've seen the Blue Angels numerous times, all the way back to F-4 Phantoms. There used to be a Naval Air Station just a couple of miles from my house. They would be there for the weekend, and we would usually go to the show one day and sit in the front yard the other day watching them fly over the neighborhood.
I've only seen the Thunderbirds twice. One day it was very windy and I was worried about them flying in close formation. The announcer said that it wasn't a problem because the wind affected all the planes simultaneously. On low passes I could actually see it. The tight formation was buffeted as a unit.

But is not my place to question any of the decisions made today. Today, by the way - we know absolutely zero facts about what went down. Let's give it some time?
And we probably won't ever hear much.
It is tragic, no doubt. But let's mourn before we point fingers and call for heads on platters, maybe.

"i was told to do many stupid and dangerous things in training...
i just ignored alien orders."
My dad has told me stories about refusing stupid orders when in the Army. Nothing ever really happened to him as a result, but, it usually involved some idiotic training exercise.

My heart breaks for the families getting The Worst News Ever.
It's one thing when you get the Worst News Ever when your only child is at war. You pretty much know everyone in your community will be out in force waving flags and lining the highways.
If your only precious child is killed in an awful training accident, he or she will come home in a coffin to (probably) no crowds lining the highways and roads.
It's terribly unfair. Dead is dead.

I wasn't blaming him He's 13. Teen boys are crazy. I'm blaming her. She's an adult-supposedly An his teacher.
But i would still like to think that some men having been told a 24 year teacher old raped (because that's the way it's described) a 13 year old who could be their son on a friend of their son wouldn't look at her big breasts and decide they'd definitely "do her" if given a chance

I struggle, as a Christian, with Hillary Clinton as a person. I am not to hate anyone - Jesus Christ likens hatred of someone to being a violation of the commandment on killing. I am called to love my enemy, to treat them with compassion and care.
But she is the single most wholly despicable, horrific, evil human being I have been confronted with in my life. There have been worse people, there are probably worse people in the world right now. But she's in my house, she's in my face. And she will probably be my president.
That's really difficult for me to deal with. I end up having thoughts about her and fury that I know isn't proper. Even President Obama, as much as I dislike his policies, I find things about him to admire, like how he is with kids. Hillary seems completely devoid of any thing admirable at all, no positives, not a single aspect except hard, cold villainy.
And all those "more evil" people I can think of? I can easily see her doing all that they do and more in their place. The only thing that restrains her is opportunity and situation, not any moral code. God help me I despise this woman. I cannot think of anything bad happening to her that wouldn't make me smile a grim, cold grin.

I don't know jack, but river crossing are risky enough operations in the real world in good weather with hostiles trying to take you out before you get to the other side. So I really doubt this was a river crossing exercise in itself - total screw-up.

They don't have the gear to do what they need, and they're being so battered with lunatic crap like sensitivity training and non-military teaching that they can't even do their job. things haven't been this bad since the late Vietnam years.

like an idiot, i did.
got my ass chewed for that, because i was expected to have known better.
he also got a talking to, but it wasn't on the same subject... more like "this isn't AD, and we expect our troops to use their brains."

Well, that's honest and probably the way many people here feel who happen to be Christians. I find her a disturbing person and she's the only person I have ever prayed about "Please Lord for the sale of those who love you, please don't allow her to be President." I also pray for her conversion and that "Justice might roll down like water on her and righteousness like an ever flowing stream" and that she will be held accountable but she may only be held accountable in the life to come.

Our son is dealing with the suicides of two of his friends last summer (one of them, one of his BEST friends).
The problem they had with the VA was the VA wanted to drug them into some sort of state, and they refused. Their parents tried to talk to the VA. Nothing.
Son wears a black wrist band in honor of his dear buddy who killed himself, an no one saw it coming. Son stays in touch with dead buddy's dad. The family never saw it coming.
So, son is active in his school vet organization fighting suicide, among other things. I'm proud as hell of him for his hard work.

"I've seen the Blue Angels numerous times, all the way back to F-4 Phantoms."
Love the Blue Angels. They are beautiful. Five-six F-18s flying in tight formation make a special sound.
What's almost as impressive as their formation flying is watching them try to regroup after a particular maneuver. Say a "fleur de lis." Once they come out of it they are scattered all over the place but they have a regroup point. The guy closest to that point is dragging flaps, maybe gear, while the guys who came out farthest from that point are absolutely hauling balls to get back to it. It's all also quite the show.

Yeah, its hard to imagine its completely unrelated, for me at least.
Even Jesus had limits....
But when Jesus went off, it was because His Father was being disrespected and His temple being treated like trash. I have no hesitation being angry when God is mocked. I don't have to defend God, though. He will deal with it; His own son took care of things that time.

Love the Blue Angels. They are beautiful. Five-six F-18s flying in tight formation make a special sound.
What's almost as impressive as their formation flying is watching
them try to regroup after a particular maneuver. Say a "fleur de lis."
Once they come out of it they are scattered all over the place but
they have a regroup point. The guy closest to that point is dragging
flaps, maybe gear, while the guys who came out farthest from that point
are absolutely hauling balls to get back to it. It's all also quite the
show.
Chicago has a pretty nice Air and Water show in August. I wish I knew more to appreciate it like that.

But I think Hillary is a deeply unhappy and very very angry woman in need of massive emotional, physical and spiritual healing. I think people who have been deeply unhappy and have felt betrayed for so long often turn against others, but its only God who can feel that void in her heart ad soul, and she doesn't think she needs God so she's as rich as Croesus, so at the same time I dislike her I pity her.

250 "Unlike our muslim friends who fly into a homicidal rage when a mere mortal like mohammed is mocked. "
Well, I'm no biblical scholar, but it seems Jesus' actions were when he saw extreme blasphemy. I don't remember Jesus getting mad at someone drawing a picture of God and then go cutting off heads in a blood lust.

the lesson I take from that, is that while Anger should not be your first response... there ARE things that all good Men SHOULD get angry about.
Just like Moses throwing down and breaking the original Tablets....
There is Righteous Anger.... and some of us are PAST that point.

back in the late 80's, my then unit went to Ft Hood for AT, in support of the TXNG.
there was an engineering unit who had a much loved member who got bounced out of the back of a truck on the tank trail, who suffocated on his plug of chewing tobacco.
the unit was demoralized, so the CO arranged Huey flights for all.
a chalk gets on one of the birds, it takes off, then looses it's tail rotor, crashes back to earth and explodes into flame, killing everyone on board.
my next to last chopper ride was on my 30th birthday. i was holding a bag of urine samples, and the Huey i was in got caught in a downdraft in the San Jacinto pass near Palm Springs...
our pilot managed to get us turned around (Nam Vet), and we wind surfed our way back to Palm Springs Int.
when we got on the ground, the air speed indicator was reading 75 knots and we weren't moving, except to bounce up and down on the pavement.
my last ride in one was the next morning, when we flew home in instruments through the fog.
i'm never getting on another.

So she's not even officially yet The Chosen One(tm) and the media are already falling-over themselves licking her boots. Plus her "opposition" just nominated a bombastic leftist authoritarian to run against her. Swell.
The only thing we (and by we I mean the rest of the world who may not be totally on board with LiB) have going for us is that if anyone could manage to cock this up it's most certainly The Wicked Witch of Westchester.

Unless they're gay or an idiot, this was every 13 year old boys' dream come true. He knew exactly what he was doing.
He was too young to know what he was doing, and I don't mean mechanically. At 13 you aren't prepared emotioanally or intellectually to handle sex. He wasn't old enough to make rational, proper choices in the situation. That's why we say "too young." because he is, you know, too young. It doesn't matter what fantasies people have or had.
It doesn't matter how physically pleasing it might be. Its like eating that entire bucket of Halloween Candy in one sitting. Mom says not to do it because its a bad idea, no matter how much you like candy. When you're 9, that makes no sense and is horribly unjust. You're too young to make that call.

Uh, SS was never designed as a "retirement program", Mr. Constitutional Scholar. But of course you already knew that. More boob-bait for the bubbas.

State Department: ISIS is 'greatest terror threat in the world'
Annual report finds ISIS remains the greatest worldwide terrorist threat, while Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism.

And Fredo just gave them the Bomb?

285 Some years ago the Blue Angels were featured at an air show in my locale, which we made sure to experience. I had to work during the week prior, but my boys, old enough to stay home alone, spent a glorious week watching them practice their maneuvers almost directly over our house.
Posted by: Pug Mahon at June 02, 2016 09:55 PM (jf492)
Yes, as I said earlier, I was very lucky to see them flying right over my house on a number of occasions.
One time I also saw a B-17 and two B-25s fly directly over my house. I couldn't get over how tiny they looked. I just checked Wikipedia, and an F-18 is 56 feet long, while a B-25 was 52 feet.

I will dare to disagree.
Thirteen year old boys might fantasize about a sexy older woman but some o the shier ones would be scared of her in real life. And I do think many would be confused and troubled by the teacher's behavior.
So I don't think "all" would want to trade places with that kid, except maybe in fantasies.

Two can play this game: Nikki Haley's refusal to remove the confederate flag led to the murder of 13 people. Sure, she removed it afterwards to deflect from her own pathetic performance in office.

Modern fighter-type aircraft are big and heavy. A B-25 could haul, say, 6-8k on a mission. An F-18 can do that and also carry AAMS, ECM pods, loiter, act as fighter escort, etc.

The problem with this attitude is that when you flip things around then you have the "filthy whore wanted it" defense. That 13 year old girl was partly to blame for when the adult raped her!

Mid-twenties man impregnates a 13 year old girl? Rape!
Mid-twenties hot woman rapes a 13 year old boy? Wow! Lucky kid!
That's kinda sickening to me. And yes, 13 year old girls can be very flirtatious, and sometimes even aggressive. Does that make it OK?
Not by any stretch of the imagination.
BTW, I thought it was established fact that girls mature sooner than boys. Boys at 13 couldn't make the decision to change their underoos without Mom reminding them to. They are much less prepared (capable?) of making the decision to have sex.

This could get me some flames, but I don't think you can just flip genders on this type of situation and have it come out the same.
I think preying on children sexually is monstrous no matter what the gender combination is.
Imagine a boy with a 20 something man if you have to, to get this straight.

When I moved to a safer place, it was *too* quiet for me to sleep.
The gunshots, sirens, and street action were masking a lot of other noises.

BlackBerry immobilized for days at a time, she refused to use a
government-issued BlackBerry because of her fear of the Freedom of

technology of having documents read aloud to her.

That every adult male thinks they should be envious of a 13 year old blowing a load and impregnating a teacher is indicative of other societal rots.
The law is pretty clear here.

And yes, 13 year old girls can be very flirtatious, and sometimes even aggressive. Does that make it OK?
Right, and they're doing so because they don't understand their sexuality, their beauty, and the power they wield. Making a 20 something guy flustered and nervous by vamping on him makes her feel really good and really powerful and really excited. But she doesn't know what it means - or if she does something awful has happened to her in the past.
That's the whole point. They're young. They're still kids, teenager or not. They aren't grown up yet or ready for anything of the sort. They're just beginning to learn and test the boundaries and find out how it works. Only a monster takes advantage of that.

They are not the same situation, and the laws need to be written differently.
Adult male > pubescent female: Obviously rape, statutory or otherwise. Throw the book at him.
Adult female > pubescent male: I don't know what to call it, but it isn't rape. I don't know what the proper penalty should be, but it shouldn't be as severe as the above case. Clearly she has no business teaching and should lose her license at a minimum.
One-size-fits-all laws do nobody any good.

That every adult male thinks they should be envious of a 13 year old blowing a load and impregnating a teacher is indicative of other societal rots.
The law is pretty clear here.

Agreed about the law, but a bunch of guys wishing they were in his shoes with her isn't necessarily indicative of societal rot. We have plenty of other evidence of that.
It's guys being guys, just like they've always been.

Okay, maybe Trump's people will get this.
Refuse, absolutely refuse, to answer any question about illegal immigration that does not precede "immigration" with the modifier "illegal". If asked about "immigration" or "immigrants", wax eloquent about how immigrants have built America, etc. DO NOT discuss illegal immigration outside of a context that clearly specifies it as a crime. Play dumb with them, until they come clean about what they are really asking, and DO NOT let them conflate being against illegal immigration with zenophobia, racism, etc.
DAMMIT MAKE THEM MIS-QUOTE YOU TO GET THE "QUOTE" THEY WANT, AND THEN GUT THEM!

I would not want to distress anyone, it is an aspect of the Roman and Spartan character I respect though.
Simply put we are an unserious nation coasting on momentum, and I frankly loathe the little assholes who have been programmed to make it so to the point it will be best for all concerned's emotional equilibrium that I pull the fade and focus on things within my control and secure my progeny's character.
I can't save the world, and I suspect I can't save myself but I can try to save my dignity.

Anyone who wants to trade the experience is welcome to it.
She was thanking me for English lessons, and helping her study civics.
It hurt, I was not a stallion and if I recall correctly my pipes were not opened completely and I bled a bit.
I gave in because of peer pressure in the welfare project I grew up in.
Hindsight being 20/20 I would have enjoyed a hike 13 miles to the state park more.

The difference is in the consequences for the young person once the news gets out. The 13 year-old girl who has sex with the 23 year-old male teacher is going to be regarded as either a rape victim, or a slut. Either way, a stigma is attached. And if she gets pregnant, there's that to deal with, too.
The 13 year-old boy who has sex with a 23 year-old female teacher might get mocked a bit as a 'teacher's pet", but most of his classmates will be saying "dude..."

He might be a bit confused but he's probably thinking of this quote in the Anderson Cooper interview with Gary Johnson
You know, coming from New Mexico, a border state, what he's saying is just incendiary. New Mexico is one of the four minority majority states. Fifty percent of the population of New Mexico is Hispanic, so what does that mean when we're going to deport 11 million illegal immigrants? Well, arguably, half the state of New Mexico is going to be subject to door-knocking and house searches and paper-checking.

Tilikum, I hope not.
Every loss of a member of the horde hurts.
I am not as nihilistic as I likely sound, and I do not wish to succor a dolorous pallor in any of you my friends.
I simply do not like this nation anymore, and my love of this nation is what allowed me to escape the welfare trap, stay relatively sane, and mostly sober.
The Democrats have robbed me of my anchor.

Thanks Sven, but If Hillary wins it is likely a done deal. Especially if what I think will happen does.
We share a mood because I see the same things you do.
My mother came here to get away from Castro. Not only have the same type risen to power here, her other son is rather Alan Grayson like.

Now that's the 800 lb. gorilla in the room.
Because that has been going on from time immemorial, from ancient Greece to modern (if you can call it that) Afghanistan.
That is pretty obviously rape. What 13 year old boy fantasizes about getting fucked in the ass? Pretty much no one, unless his father was doing it to him at age 6.
But no, we can't talk about that, because homophobia.

The difference is in the consequences for the young person once the news gets out. The 13 year-old girl who has sex with the 23 year-old male teacher is going to be regarded as either a rape victim, or a slut. Either way, a stigma is attached. And if she gets pregnant, there's that to deal with, too.
The 13 year-old boy who has sex with a 23 year-old female teacher might get mocked a bit as a 'teacher's pet", but most of his classmates will be saying "dude..."

I think Hillary is a deeply unhappy and very very angry woman in need of massive emotional, physical and spiritual healing. I think people who have been deeply unhappy and have felt betrayed for so long often turn against others, but its only God who can feel that void in her heart ad soul, and she doesn't think she needs God so she's as rich as Croesus, so at the same time I dislike her I pity her.

All of us,each in his/her own way must work to bring them to the forefront. Doesn't matter how insignificant it may seem, you gotta keep fighting.

Well, since we're just hanging around waiting for the ONT I can give a sneak peak at tomorrow's EZ Dog diary:
June 3, 1944
We moved CP to Velletri today - in a beautiful villa (running water and electric lights) on the side of a very beautiful hill. There is very little sign of war here - a welcome relief. Velletri itself is badly torn up but we are about a mile out of town. Our villa was formerly occupied by members of the German high command. They moved out day before yesterday. This morning our wire crew captured a Kraut 1st Sgt in the air raid shelter that goes with the house. The front is moving forward so fast we hear only faint sounds from the front. Lanuvio was cleaned up today and troops move on to Genzano, below Lake Nemi, and Rocca di Papa north of the lake. II Corps advanced within 7 miles and probably less of Rome. Our armor was last reported South of Lake Albano. Today the front as a whole has moved farther than any other since the 3d Div took Cori.

FWIW, I've been having an interesting time trying to nudge a progressive that I know to the right.
She is 50-something, and very 'Progressive' She had mentioned that she was concerned about the invasion of our lives by computers and data-gatherers.
In a rare moment of insight, I sensed an opportunity. I tucked a copy of 'Ctrl-Alt-Revolt' into the truck, and the next time I ran into her, I casually mentioned that after our last conversation about computers invading our lives, she might find this book an interesting read.
I didn't expect her to even finish it, but a week later she told me, 'Wow, that was a great book'. Heh. I was surprised. So a week or so later, I gave her a copy of 'An Act of Self-Defense'. I really could not imagine that she would read it, but, another week goes by and (with concern) she asks, 'Do you think these things are actually happening?'
I assured her that the powers-that-be have very little regard for the population (whatever their rhetoric), and a great deal of concern for their own power and position, all of which is derived from control of the people.
This week, I dropped 'Shelleys Heart' on her. This is getting interesting.

Apparently they were supposed to have a guitar for that main lick but the guy didn't show up so they had a sax fill in and... well, history.

Helium walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Hey, we don't serve noble gases in here!"
Helium doesn't react.

"The Big Lebowski" without the cursing is pretty funny. The scene where Walter is smashing the windows of the car, shouting "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!" was changed to "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!"

Saw that once on TBS or whatever. it was a group of beefy men enjoying a very quiet meal. Made no sense. I also recall them censoring Lilly von Schtupp. It was Lily von (blank). Blech.
I miss Cleavon Little and Madelyn Khan.

Me and Mrs. Mahon were on a road trip last weekend, and the one station that we got on thr radio was classic hits. heard some great, cheesy old timey stuff. Steely Dan, Elton John, jerry rafferty, even Michael Jackson. it was more fun than I would have thought. Some things stand the test of time.
"..great, cheesy old timey stuff."
Well said.

Good thing the guitar guy didn't show. It would have hurt the song IMHO. And I was still in the single digits age wise when that song came out.

Bruce, thanks for the link on Hillary's very serious classified info violations. Just one thing to note, the article says the situation is "reminiscent of the Valerie Plame scandal".
Jeebus. There was *no* scandal involved in that - apart from the bizarre and still inexplicable behavior of the WH in reaction to the stupid op-ed, and also the fact that George kept his job as DCI even after that nth confirmation that his agency was packed full of stupid unprofessional sorts.

Hillary has stopped giving press conferences for the same reason since she entered the national scene running up to the '92 election. People fucking hate her, even her supporters. They like the idea of her all right but Hillary in the flesh is about as appealing as toe fungus.
Every time she opens that piehole of hers and screeches out at everyone, her ratings go down. Happened all the time in the 90s. She'd disappear, her approvals went up, she showed up popping off about something, and bang, down they went again. The MSM literally carried her across the finish line in that NY Senate race.

850 million Chinese walk in to a bar.
Bartender says "we don't see many Chinese in here".
(that's it)
Muldoon - was your dad's unit not involved in much fun n' games after Rome, or you suspending diary entries for another reason?

I've never effected a philosophical shift of a Lefty before... but this may actually work. We'll see.
Thanks for the diary entry. Always very interesting.
As an aside, some notes from Verdun, 100 years ago now:
--
They must be crazy to do what they are doing now: what a bloodbath, what horrid images, what a slaughter! I just cannot find the words to express my feelings. Hell can not be this dreadful. People are insane!
- Alfred Joubaire (???- 1916), French soldier (last diary entry)
-----
There is nothing as tiring as the continuous, enormous bombardment we lived through, last night at the front. The night is disturbed by light as clear as if it were day. The earth moves and shakes like jelly. And the men who are still at the front line cannot hear anything but the gunfire, the moaning of wounded friends, the screams of hurt horses, the wild pounding of their own hearts, hour after hour, day after day, night after night. (anon German soldier at Verdun)
------
You could never get rid of the horrible stench. If we were on leave and we were having a drink somewhere, it would only last a few minutes before the people at the table beside us would stand up and leave. It was impossible to endure the horrible stench of Verdun. - a French survivor of the battle

That song inspired Al Stewart to include a sax solo on "Year of the Cat", which also became a monster hit.
