Quote of the Day III - Life in the EU Edition The French economy is stagnant. GDP growth for the latest quarter was 0.6%. Over the past decade, growth has rarely risen above 1%. The unemployment rate is over 10% and the youth unemployment is 25%. Clearly tax and regulatory reform, including more labor flexibility, are needed to encourage employers to hire. Quote of the Day IV - Yada Yada Edition What gets reported is "Well, me and my girlfriends met at Lisa's apartment to pre- game. I had a beer and a shot there. Then we went to This Bar and That Bar and I had three shots at the first place and an Appletini at the second place plus this guy gave me half his beer. So, we were dancing and then Lisa and Cindy left. So the guy who gave me half his beer said we should go to This Other Bar to meet his friend and we did. And I had two shots and then he bought me this mixed drink. I don't remember what it was called or what was in it. And then I had another beer and we danced and I remember we were making out at one point in the bathroom and I gave him a blow job. Then I remember we left This Other bar-" And Then There Was One - The Last of the Doolittle Raiders

The German Finance Ministry advised the EU to enter into negotiations aiming at making the UK an "associated partner country" of the trade block. AK Rifle Used By Terrorists in Paris Attacks Traced Back To Phoenix Gun Owner Who was also found to be in possession of an unregistered automatic weapon....and then things get rather murky and suspicious *cough*FastAndFurious*cough: The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun's ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations - for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic-but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner's identity was "kept quiet," according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. "Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public," a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch. The Social Effects of Ethnic Diversity Not that diversity doesn't have some benefits but it definitely has social costs as well. Relying on diversity measures computed at the apartment block level under conditions of exogenous allocation of public housing in France, this paper identifies the effects of ethnic diversity on social relationships and housing quality. Housing Survey data reveal that diversity induces social anomie. Through the channel of anomie, diversity accounts for the inability of residents to sanction others for vandalism and to act collectively to demand proper building maintenance. However, anomie also lowers opportunities for violent confrontations, which are not related to diversity.

How many classic American Cars are on Cuba really? Yeah you always hear about it and how they keep them running. But that's because they have to. Because they can't afford anything new. Its not as if Japan and South Korea can't sell to Cuba.
Yeah its a big island but its still an island. I imagine that there are probably more classic American cars still running in America and are in much better condition than the ones in Cuba. But they're just spread across the country. Posted by: buzzion at June 30, 2016 12:00 AM (bMG0w) 59

Ireland was neutral and afforded the Germans a legation in Dublin for the course of the war. The Germans, naturally, used the post for all kinds of surveillance of the weather and the Western Approaches. It wasn't until 1943 that the Irish cut off radio communications with Berlin.

Posted by: qdpsteve at June 30, 2016 12:00 AM (q7T0y) Ireland was neutral, although there were many Irish who went over to fight for Britain, and I believe they even looked the other way when Brit pilots would escape detainment back to England. Remember that an independent Ireland had only been around since about 1919, and peace on the island was tenuous at best.

Bernie Sanders had an interesting op-ed in the New York Times this morning:
https://tinyurl.com/z6yanru It's a fascinating mashup of sense and nonsense. He almost kind of gets it: Let's be clear. The global economy is not working for the majority of people in our country and the world. This is an economic model developed by the economic elite to benefit the economic elite. We need real change. That is dead bang on. But then he goes on to say that we need better international cooperation. *facepalm* I definitely believe that Trump is making a play for Bernie supporters, and that is the right thing to do. Many of them are disaffected by the status quo and know they're being ass-raped by globalism. Some of them realize that Hillary is the epitome of the corrupt political insiders.

Since I pretty much missed the thread earlier on David Thatcher earlier in the day, let me relate some of the rest of the story.
Ted Lawson's plane was the seventh aircraft. But it could have been pushed overboard if the crew had reported a major defect in the bomber's electrical system that prevented Thatcher's turret from operating properly. Thatcher could only use the batteries to power the turret. Of course Ruptured Duck almost did not make it off USS Hornet because Lawson and his co-pilot forgot to lower the flaps. Luckily they had enough deck and wind over deck to compensate. But that was hardly the last of the danger this crew faced. After bombing their target, they had to escape to China. With bad weather, a setting sun, and no navigation beacons on top of rapidly running out of fuel. Like Hite's crew, Lawson tried to set down on an island off the Chinese shore. But the long sand beach grabbed at the lowered landing gear causing a terrific crash. Lawson was catapulted out of the cockpit and his leg was split wide open. His navigator who was perched behind the pilots had his shoulders broken. In fact every officer was wounded to some extent or another. So it fell Staff Sergeant Thatcher to administer first-aid and then seek out Chinese assistance. Luckily Thatcher found friendly guerrillas as opposed to Hite's crew who were turned over to the Japanese by their erstwhile Chinese hosts. For these actions, Thatcher was awarded the Silver Star. And I must note one more thing. When Hite passed away, he was the last Raider POW. Now that Thatcher has passed away, so has the last surviving enlisted Raider. In 2013 at the 71st Raider Reunion I was very fortunate to shake the hands and say thank you to Ed Saylor, Richard Cole, and David Thatcher. Posted by: Anna Puma at June 30, 2016 12:09 AM (5a2rB) 87

I read somewhere that a lot of those classic cars in Cuba are "classic"
only on the outside with newer engines and stuff on the innards./// In this show and what I saw on Cuban Chrome most of those 50s cars have some diesel 4 banger from a boat or small truck as the motor. Posted by: Willy J. at June 30, 2016 12:12 AM (wfv0g) 96

Speaking of Brexit, I popped over to Brooks England to see if it had an effect on their beautiful bicycle saddles. Don't know if this was due to the pound falling versus the dollar, but I scored a special Swallow saddle with hammered copper rivets and copper-plated (colored) rails at a price I've never matched anywhere else. Paid about 40% less than I had ever seen it priced before.
Don't know if anyone else here cares about bicycle saddles, but if you are looking for a narrow leather saddle, that Brooks Swallow is very nice. Posted by: Emmie at June 30, 2016 12:16 AM (xVuS6) Posted by: Blanco Basura at June 30, 2016 12:19 AM (T/cxb) 104

So, this morning I ran into a Brit I know, wife of a lefty cow-orker. I asked her what she thought about Brexit, trying to keep a semi-sad look on my face.
To my great surprise, she broke into a big smile and said, "Fabulous!" Went into a rant about Brussels and the preservation of traditional English independence from the Continent. Now I'm wondering whether she is in a mixed marriage, i.e., maybe she's a conservative married to a lefty. There were a lot of Labour voters who went for Brexit, to be sure, but those were mostly blue-collar types, which she decidedly is not. Who knows?

They go as far as warning students about content relating to needles, insects, food, pregnancy, eye contact, slimy things, skulls, vomit and blood. Can't wait till they graduate law school and become politicians and judges.

Something to ponder--this country, because of the principles it was founded on plus the adherence TO those principles has resulted in the most exceptional country AND people on the planet. Those principles, or precepts, if you will are these three: The Declaration of independence--the WHY. The Bill of Rights--that which is inalienable for ALL. The Constitution--the BLUEPRINT. Our bedrock--these precepts-- are still existent, under the filth and perversion deposited by the left. They can never be completely suppressed or denied. In time,this or future generations will reestablish them.Of course we'll prevail because we are Americans and as such are denied the option of failure. A cursory look at our history will show that. So hold that head HIGH and never despair. The outcome isn't in doubt no matter the present conditions. And if you cannot bring yourself to fight for this country then I hope your chains rest lightly on you. Posted by: irongrampa at June 30, 2016 12:23 AM (X35Yt) 114

Well, knock on wood, we carried me sainted mother up to the fizz-ee-key-atrists up there today, she's been home about 2 weeks, and they think she's good to go, no sign of the depression. She can't remember any of it, actually.
She's remembering bits and pieces of being in the hospital, but can't remember her state of mind, what a hole she was in and all that. They're more in a mood to speculate on what could have caused it, and their guess is what everyone else was thinking, something about the surgery, the anesthesia, shock to the system, etc., but they did say they've seen it happen with people in their 80s before. No history of mental problems, then go under a major surgery and then bam! batshit in some fashion. Now, tomorrow, I've got to carry up to the knee surgeon to check out her knee.

Garrett, I'll have to take a look at those.
My first "real" bicycle was a used, British-made Raleigh ten-speed with a saddle made by Brooks but sold under another name (don't remember what). That saddle conformed perfectly to me and I've never found anything since to compare. I hadn't splurged for a Brooks before now because, well, it's a splurge.

You should note that you were entirely correct to be alert, skeptical, suspicious, and concerned....and even if the "they" that proposed, "approved", and executed this treatment have had their case borne out by subsequent success, some of their tactics were more than a little troubling....and you should consider how best to implement safeguards for those who are close to you to avoid such railroading in the future.

Yeah, they are lightweight saddles. Those Avocet Saddles are getting hard to find. Though, they did make a Women's Model which was a bit wider and cushier in the rear. I think it was the 02w.

Tuesday, 3 November 2009 London mayor Boris Johnson has rescued a woman who was being attacked by an armed group of young girls, chasing them down the road on his bicycle.

Anna Puma.
Yep, that's it, but with a different cover, of course. Bookmarked, and I'll order it next week. I highly recommend it to everyone here. Everyone at AoS, period. In fact, I'll put it like this. If anyone here has kids of sufficient reading prowess to handle the book, have them read it, just as soon as you can. It's not a preachy book at all. Not even in the slightest. But it will amply illustrate what being a Man is supposed to look like, and all the while being a humble man and gentleman, the whole while. Think of if as anti-snowflake vaccination. I'd strongly suggest you line your kids rooms with shelves, and fill 'em with such anti-snowflake tomes. And we could tip-over the Book Thread with our collected recommendation as to what needs be on those shelves! Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at June 30, 2016 12:50 AM (v5iqM) 172

I'm sure everyone has seen the newsreel clips of the Doolittle raiders taking off from the carriers. It was amazing to watch. Some of those planes reacted like they were airborne sitting on the deck. As soon as they started moving, they were in the air.
In a related story, the Alaskan Bush Pilots have (or had) and annual contest for shortest take off and landing. There was a young kid in a J-3 Piper Cub (I think) and he brought that plane in to land, and it looked like it stopped in mid air and then settled down to roll about ten feet. When it took off, he got it in the air in what looked like five feet. Amazing thing to see. Posted by: Shellie Longpier at June 30, 2016 12:54 AM (+HRXN) 179

Dear Morons,
One of my wishes during this 7 /2 year durge march to socialist utopia was for Mooch's wighat to blow off. It almost happened in Madrid as her fat repulsive arse descended the plane stairs (walking on very odd shoes, I might add. Her tranny skillz are improving). Lots of wind, and, for once, not from her. She and the gurls were holding onto their dresses. Actually, after studying the UK Daily Mail's fabulous photos, Mooch appeared more concerned about wighat than her billowy dress (which, thank heavens above, did not show the world her nether region). Anyway!!! One photo shows a sort of black band on the top of her ear. It almost went gone with the wind, leaving her to whatever lurks under there. Now, if Obarfy should fall either up or down the stairs of AF Won (I will take either, not picky), I will be one happy Queen with evil check list complete. Oh, and I am wondering if Huma cut a deal for immunity with the email fracas. Let's not forget she was investigated for criminal double dipping with salary a few years ago. I know, it is hard to keep up. I read the column on Daily Mail about the Clinton Foundation's swinging door of paybacks, and those numbers boggle the mind. Something in the sum of $200 million unaccounted for. G' night. Sleep tight. Don't let the zika's bite. xoxo Posted by: ChristyBlinky, Infidel Queen at June 30, 2016 12:58 AM (jRWGg) 187

Doolittle was a fine gentleman in all the best ways that is true. When he lead 8th Air Force, it was his orders that released the fighters to go prowling beyond the bomber stream to hit the Luftwaffe fighters before those planes found the bombers. He was also the man who saved the B-26 Marauder from cancellation. He also deeply regretted keeping one promise to his Doolittle Raid flight engineer because the man was later killed in action.

My husband and I see the same new Internist since moving. I had a check up yesterday and he went today. The doc and I talk politics more than my health (which is basically good though need fat shaming and threats. Or poster of Mooch on fridge). Doc and I are of same political opinions, so no bloodshed. He thinks I am funny or something. His first comment was if my BP was a little high due to someone scraping off my Bernie bumper sticker. I think he may be a Moron, which unsure if that is good for someone who may have my life in his hands.
Today husband came home with message from doc that he had forgotten to ask me about a Trump VP pick. He said "Adam West." I looked bewildered at husband and said, "Batman?" Husband finally figured out it was Alan West and told him, yeah, wife would approve. I am thinking Batman would be pretty awesome vs Pokyhauntus.

A function of the condition of both parties, and the electorate. And the civic culture, mostly collapsed and faded away. Posted by: rhomboid at June 30, 2016 02:14 AM (QDnY+) 244

I was suggesting a strategy, not an actual event. Even though impeachment for felonious acts is unlikely, it has been my experience that people vote on fear and loathing, and the other deadly sins, mostly, I think, and besides, I'm for throwing gas onto the witch at every opportunity. Facts, reality, boring stuff like that, won't get her sandbagged. Fear of Liz the native American might.

Every year on the 4th, some folks think it's patriotic to set off major fireworks (i.e. mortars) when they don't fully get what they're doing. This is a standard suburban subdivision, built with wood shake roofs 60 years ago....about one roof in every five is tinder, waiting for the slightest spark.... A few years back, a construction worker left a torch, it burned up a building on Satanic Row, and an ember fried a shake-roofed apartment building -- could have easily been us, if the wind had been in a different direction. So popping sounds -- could be gunfire, could be fireworks, whatever -- merit caution. But not if they're ascribed to earthquake faults. Posted by: cthulhu at June 30, 2016 02:40 AM (EzgxV) 262
We have firework stands up and are hearing some peeps that can't wait. It's startling because it sounds so different from the usual target practice.

Posted by: OldDominionMom at June 30, 2016 02:46 AM (GzDYP) Based on nothing in particular, I suspect that young ladies in radical Islamic households are persuaded by their families to attach themselves to losers who can barely pass as assimilated for a set number of years, to be their houris from paradise, to provide their son to carry on the family name, and to ensure their "martyrdom operations" are carried-off successfully. San Bernadino was very similar, except that westerners could easily be fooled by the wife looking like Brian's mom in Monty Python's "The Life of Brian".

I would take that story about a Fast and Furious gun turning up in Paris with fist sized chunks of salt.
There is no reason to ship a semiauto only AK knockoff that was originally imported from Eastern Europe for the American domestic market from Mexico where it has some value, to Europe. European arms dealers have access to shit tons of genuine full auto war surplus AKs from war zones much closer to Europe. Libya, the Balkan wars, the Ukraine, Syria... Just seems unprofitable and therefore improbable. On the other hand, just the juicy bait that can then be proven false and used to discredit all the good work done by JW on the Administration's other misdeeds.

I'm reasonably certain it's actually a guy named Jon who has a wife named Suze who lives rather close to me. Reading between the lines in his wife's Facebook postings, she's a high-tech Sputtering Engineer and he's pretty much her psychotic pet. She travels all over the world with her girlfriends and takes pictures with exotic locations....she has pictures of him drinking coffee in local campsites.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, June 30, 2016. On this day in 1934 Adolf Hitler sent his Brown Shirt goons to kill his political rivals. This later became known as the Night of the Long Knives and it should have awakened the world to what kind of man he was. But he still had supporters in the US such as Henry Ford who continued to do business with him up until the US entered WWII. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at June 30, 2016 05:39 AM (mpXpK) 320
The Democrats are not just political opponents.
Democratic members of the Federal Election Commission, in a decision to be made public on Thursday, voted last month to punish Fox News over criteria changes for the network's first Republican presidential primary debate, but were blocked by Republican commissioners. No, they are in fact evil SOBs and would eliminate opposition just like Hitler in the night of the long knives if they thought they could get away with it. And Scankles is the worst of the lot. http://tinyurl.com/jbbnebq Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at June 30, 2016 05:40 AM (mpXpK) 321

But that will never happen as all the teachers in NJ are protected by the unions contrary to the MFM who says the fat man killed the teachers' unions.

I continually hear disparaging comments about so-called baby boomers which is absolute BS. Here is a statistic that should alert you to the difference between those evil baby boomers and today's yoots. But I will say today's yoots are working under an Obamaconomy, which is worse than the Carterconomy that boomers had to struggle under. But then again, today's yoots are not sitting under the onus of the "draft" which impaired their job prospects. http://tinyurl.com/hdjzgo8 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at June 30, 2016 05:42 AM (mpXpK) 331
Obama goons tell FL police to not release any info on the Orlando shooting and want to be notified of ANY info request so they can stifle it. And the liberals went after Nixon for a tiny fraction of this kind of illegal shit.

And speaking of illegal activity by Obama's goons, one of the guns used by the Paris attackers came from Holder and Obama's illegal fast and furious operation. Yes, it keeps cropping up all over and yet nobody has ever been held accountable for this disaster even though it involved multiple felonies.

Despite States complaining about falling revenues from gas taxes due to people driving less and higher gas mileage, Scankles wants people to drive even less and swelter in heat to prevent non-existent global warming. Expect her to enforce that kind of shit with her pen and phone if she is elected. And if you think congress will stop her just turn around and look at the past 8 years.

IBD asks if the cover-up is worse than the crime in Scankles' e-mail affair. My response, no it isn't. The cover-up is trying to sweep multiple major felonies under the rug once again. The crimes they are covering up are indeed much much worse. IOW, there is a reason for a cover-up so lets not let that fact become drowned out. And where do they get these stupid looking pictures of Scankles. They should publish a magazine with a collection of these.

Most likely you will see something to the order of "Friends of XXXX" and that IS legal.

I suspect the media is upset with Lynch because her "seemingly" reckless and irresponsible meeting could mean that when Hilary is not indicted some people might erroneously assume that the fix was in. So the story will take just a little longer to fade away. As anyone who is anyone knows, the focus at that time, should be on the coronation of Princess Powersuit.
