"A date that will live in infamy"-President Franklin D. Roosevelt describing the attack on Pearl Harbor 75 years ago tomorrow, December 7th, 1941. His speech of December 8th, 1941.


In everyone's life a little rain snow must fall. Check out the recent snow in Hawaii.

Quotes of The Day

Quote I

Now, it was not an attack on Christians or white people or conservatives. We didn’t scapegoat and stereotype them because there’s more of us. But that’s what’s so upsetting about Mr. Trump’s scapegoating Muslims or immigrants or refugees when we have homegrown terrorists who are not Muslims as well, like this animal in South Carolina who is alleged — I guess he’s accused, he hasn’t been tried yet, but this young man in South Carolina.
Paul Begala.

Jane Mr. Begala you ignorant slut talking forehead. May I remind you that the entire nation was worked into a lather about the Confederate Flag. Ebay removed the Confederate Flag. WalMart, huge retailer located in the South even took a position on the Confederate Flag and ISIS. ISIS=Good, Confederate=Bad.

Quote II

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
P.J. O'Rourke


Quote III

'I love you my son. I know they kill you for no reason.'

Mother of Abdul Razak Ali Artan, OSU terrorist. How are we to coexist with someone like this?

Quote IV

“Allah is our objective; the Qur’an is the Constitution; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish.”
Egyptian scholar Hassan al-Banna, Founder of Hammas

Donald Trump has been accused of various things during the primaries all the way through the general election. Now, if you mention his name Muslims go all stabbey or something. No wonder why CNN is taken lightly. It's hard to believe that this guy served in the Obama administration.

Didn't get enough quotes? Want to have more sayings? Odd sayings (illustrated) from around the world.


Man's best friend has been the inspiration for our safety.

The secret’s in the sniff: Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology developed a device that can detect explosives, narcotics, or human scents 16 times better than trained dogs.

Bomb-sniffing dogs have been the TSA’s preferred professionals for years when it comes to hounding out a potentially dangerous scents. But by modifying existing technology after a dog’s nose, these researchers were able to drastically improve performance.

Deer hunting seasons recently ended in the Great Lake States. From the accounts of canoe accidents here at the AOS, at one time there were a fair number of hunters here. If you were a hunter and passed on a harvest what were your reasons?


The LGBT crowd wants heterosexuals to accept and approve of their life style. But approval and acceptance is a 2-way street. Transgender San Diego cop in uniform not allowed to march in LGBT parade. Did we mention that she helped organize the event?

San Diego’s first transgender police officer was kept out of an event at the San Diego LGBT Community Center in Hillcrest last week because she was wearing her uniform.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual event to honor those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence, was held Nov. 17 at the facility on Centre Street.

Officer Christine Garcia, who publicly transitioned last year, helped plan the event and was part of the police department security detail that watched over a commemorative march down University Avenue.


There has been some Moron commentary lately about being lonely and having not been in the saddle lately. This guy has had that problem solved. Although I don't think you want to go as far as he did. The 6 Million Dollar Man has nothing on him. Technology is nice. But you may want to be careful with it when you're trying to date. Or buy drugs, allegedly.


20 weird friendships through history. No, you won't see Ace and Amy Schumer swapping spit or anything close to that.

What kind of shopper are you? Are you creative and never stumped with the perfect gift? Are you the type of person who doesn't know what the recipient likes or would want or would like but wouldn't buy themselves? Down with gift cards? Or down with gift cards!!! Benjamin's are cool, right?

The traditional idea behind giving gifts is that the giver spends time and thought coming up with just the right present for a particular person. They take into consideration the recipient’s likes, dislikes, and hobbies, search what’s out there, and then choose (or make) a gift they believe best intersects with the person’s interests and tastes. A gift’s thoughtfulness is in proportion to the sacrifice in energy the giver seemingly made in deciding on it (as well as the sacrifice the giver had been making all along in the relationship, in paying dedicated attention to the recipient’s expressed desires).

In giving a gift card, however, the giver takes the time, energy, and thought required by this process, and outsources it to the recipient. It’s now their job to think about what they’d like, comb through what’s out there, weigh different options, and make the purchase.


Tonight's Musical Interlude


pipes-1180.jpg

From Sea to Shining Sea, the infrastructure of the U.S.A is mapped out. It appears that there are quite a few pipelines. Where will the Native Americans protest next?

There are more than 3,300 power utilities and about 7,700 power plants that produce and distribute electricity to homes, businesses and other consumers. That electricity travels through more than 160,000 miles of high-voltage electric transmission lines that reach into every nook and cranny of the country.

Experts describe the nation’s electrical grid as a patchwork of utilities, with transmission and distribution facilities — some dating to the 1800s — that will ultimately break down unless hundreds of billions of dollars are invested.


College students don't let the door hit in you in the ass when you run back to Mommy & Daddy.

The president of Montgomery College claims that the presidential election created “profound insecurity” for students, which demands a renewed commitment to “inclusion” from academia.

“Radical inclusion is an approach to higher education that I have promoted for years at my college,” Dr. DeRionne Pollard begins a recent op-ed for The Washington Blade, asserting that “Diversity is one of the pillars of our identity at Montgomery College.”

This woman wouldn't know diversity if it hit her along side the head with a frigging 2"x4".


A short post-election poem

The election is over, the talking is done
Your party lost, my party won
So let us be friends, let arguments pass
I’ll hug my elephant, you kiss your ass.

If you have a schadenboner that lasts more than 4 weeks, get medical help right away.


Is this a premature April Fool's Joke? Paste eating Uncle Joe Joe Biden says he may run for president in 2020. Bring it on Joe!! What is the average age of the Democrat leaders these days? 117?


These kids are really into diversity, hell it's The Group.


News tips, spare change and parking validation tickets can go here.


You buy them books, send them to school and they still eat the teacher they become the Genius Award Winner.

14 Not a hunter but just had a family Christmas party and a couple cousins and husbands of cousins are. One was talking about not getting any deer so far this year. He is doing Bow hunting. He wants that extra challenge of doing it that way. Also he was specifically looking for a good sized buck to shoot. So smaller bucks and any doe that came across his path he wasn't taking the shot on.

21 On Equality

Equality. It seems like such a simple word-one that in all hypotheticality would be easy to define. However, it means different things to different people, and that difference in definition can, and has been, exploited by those who know the difference. Much like those who use a twisted academic definition of the word "racism" that is very different than that used by the hoi polloi, the confusion is exploitable by some.

Yes, but when we add in words like radical and profound and then put in sentences like: Having spent immeasurable energies connecting academic achievement and

This fine, upstanding young man. Cut down in the prime of life. What a tragedy. Abul's mother is correct. There is no reason why this loss of life had to take place.

We need to take steps so that this does not happen again. We must not allow these fine young Somalis to be exposed to the vile hatred and persecution that exists in American institutions like OSU, that drives them to retaliate for the neverending water torture of microaggressions that are dropped on their sweet bald little heads. For their own safety, THEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THIS DEN OF EVIL AND HATRED KNOWN AS "AMERICA". Keep them safe. Keep them in Somalia.

Problem is the coughing...it gets bad and I have spells when I can't stop. Only thing that helps is the hydrocodone based cough syrup but I always feel like an addict when I ask for it. Nothing else works for me...I've tried them all, not even the codeine one. And I have to see my primary care person to get it. The RN at the cardiologist is a neighbor, lives a few streets over, nice because it means she'll remember me. Doctor on the other hand is a mohammud something.....

172 Watched a documentary last night about the now unclassified documents regarding the amount of info from spying and code breaking the US Gov. had that pointed to an impending attack from Japan.
And how that information was never sent to the Commanding officers at Pearl Harbor, who were then scapegoated for not knowing and not preparing for the attack.

Husband Kimmel died in 1968 and his family has been trying to get his four star rank restored , which hasn't happened even though his name was cleared later in Congressional hearings.

The authors of the book on him are once again leading a request for his reinstatement. None of the presidents since Pearl Harbor have honored the request, including both Bushes, Clinton, and Obama.

Biden has supported the restoration however, his support has not made a difference.

Here is an article with links to the book and documentary about Kimmel, which the History Channel will rebroadcast tomorrow night.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we

we did.

*winks at RU Dean*

But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a
few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame
the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is
guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in
general? I put it to you, RU PD - isn't this an indictment of our entire
American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're

Two investigators into pizzagate/Clinton foundation child trafficking have died aka been murdered. One woman was investigating Haiti and the Clinton Foundation's role in setting up Orphanages and child trafficking. She wound up dead. Family and friends have no clue how or when she does. One minute she is close to coming home with evidence and then winds up dead.

Clinton Foundation got a woman off who was busted red handed with 33 kids on her way out of the country. The Haitian kids had families.

Look into Cathy O'Brian. She has claimed to be abused and passed around the elites in DC for ritualistic sex. She had a face carved into her Vagina with a knife as a child. It's verified on YouTube ad part of the Documentary.

Look into Ted Gunderson, who was former FBI and law enforcement who investigated this stuff. He helped John DeCamp in trying to expose Boys Town, which is well documented in the book The Franklin Cover-Up.

I'm the 1980's law enforcement nation wide was told not to speak of Satanic crimes and ritual abuse because didn't want to alarm the public. A good solid Christian man that works with law enforcement the past 25 plus years with ritual abuses who speaks openly about it is Russ Dizdar.

Unfortunately, child sexual abuse and pedophilia is a huge problem that is so terrible that it is ignored. The people perpetrating these crimes are in very tight circles.

If you wish to dig, you will find evidence. But warning, it is disturbing and your Blood will boil because nothing is ever done except on very rare occations and the people at the top seem to always escape.

The exact number 72 is found mainly in Sahih Muslim IIRC and is not universally accepted in Islam. The answer to "how much p#ssy do we get in Paradise" is "a lot".

As for the raisins, that's Christoph Luxenburg's theory, but it's mostly been discredited as part of Islam. (It might be part of the Monophysite Christian subtext which helped create Islam.)

My understanding - which God knows could be incorrect - is that Arabic is written without the vowels, and so any given word depends on what vowels are introduced. The classic example is "nclr," would could be expanded to "unclear," but also to "nuclear."

That's a flip way of putting it, but you are correct.

Islam is a works based religion. You have to do this, that, x, y, z to please Allah. Prayers 5 times a day, the Hajj. But what if you miss prayers? What if you screw up? There is no guarantee Allah will forgive you and allow you into heaven. Allah is not God as Christians and Jews understand him to be. There are no guarantees with Allah, except for one: jihad. That is the one guarantee that gets you into heaven.

That's why the 9/11 hijackers were knocking back Stolis and hiring prostitutes in the weeks leading up to 9/11. They got their guarantee.

272 So today I received "The 1966 Live Recordings" box set. It's a 36 CD set containing every known live recording of Bob Dylan and the Band's 1966 world tour.

This was before his backup musicians became known as The Band. But they were all there, except for Levon Helm. The drummer was Mickey Jones, who many years later had a recurring role on the TV show "Home Improvement". True story.

Most of them are soundboard recordings, a few of them were CBS recordings for a live album that never materialized, and a few were crappy audience tapes.

The packaging is sparse but attractive. Each CD is in an individual cardboard sleeve with a set list and a concert photo. There's a 24-page booklet with information about the shows. Everything fits into a roughly cube-shaped box.

The package artwork features newspaper clippings with headlines like "Bob Dylan: Is He a Smashed Idol?", "Kook or Genius?", "Sydney's Wackiest Concert", and "Uproar at Bob Dylan's Concert".

It's difficult for us today to realize how controversial those concerts were at the time. Music critics panned them. Audiences were booing and shouting catcalls.

But today they are widely ranked among the greatest live rock performances of all time.

Robbie Robertson was once quoted as saying, "After the shows, we went back to the hotel and listened to the tapes. We thought, hey, that was pretty good. Why is everybody so upset?"

Have you tried a humidifier? I run two in the bedroom all day and it's suitably swampy up there, plus the thermostat being right near the fireplace means the living room is comfy warm during the day and the furnace isn't fighting the humidifiers. I used to get crazy nosebleeds in the winter from the dry air, but steaming up the bedroom seems to have solved that. Also I stopped doing 8" rails of coke, but it's probably the humidifiers.

322 Bear: getting into the 'Abbasid Revolution is a little beyond what I've studied, but my impression was that the Muslims killed a lot of Iranians, and ruled over the rubble like El Guapo ruling over Mexican peasants in "The Three Amigos", for a hundred years.

After all that, a lot of Iranians found ways to convert to some version of Islam, and rallied around a strange weirdo called Abu Muslim. He also allied with various Shi'a variants, including the 'Abbasids. The Umayyads at the time were fighting another one of their stupid civil wars, and so got caught with their pants down.

One of those 'Abbasids murdered Abu Muslim iirc, then proclaimed the 'Abbasid caliphate. These then screwed over their Shi'ite allies, but then the Shi'a are used to that.

325 Yeah, every bit of electronics and avionics aboard AF-1 is hardened against EMP.

Sacrificial test units of the radios, sat phones, data link boxes, etc., are all subjected to heat and vibration stress tests, tested against denial of use attacks from every known Russian, Chinese or other jammer, etc., ad nausem.

Smaller test jets (Gulfstreams, most likely) fly hundreds of hours of test flights with all this stuff aboard, and test the hell out of integration, fail-safe modes, partial-failure modes, etc., again.

By time a "box" is installed on AF-1, it's progenitors have seen thousands of hours of engineering, hundreds of hours of testing and all kinds of hair-pulling "what if" thinking from every nerd in the box's food chain.

AF-1 (the VC-25) can be air-to-air refuled. Carries much the same gear that Looking Glass carries, in case of worldwide nuclear catastrophe.

And you can be sure that the new versions will have defenses way the hell beyond chaff, flares and jamming.

Tactical jets are now sporting missiles that'll turn a quick 180 to take out a threat from astern. I'll wager bucks that the new AF-1 will have various missile bays discreetly secreted behind panels and doors dispersed around the airframe, carrying much the same missiles.

I'll also wager that all the 'lectronics on the new AF-1 will also data-link to accompanying escort fighters, AWACS, satellites and the whole rest of the mix that the USAF has to play with for global defense coordination.

It's basically a flying doomsday machine with some luxury suites, and mostly, good food.

ANY comparison of the VC-25 to an ordinary airplane, is like comparing a B-52 to a DC-9.

They're both jets. And that's where they diverge.

Which is pretty much what happened. The Arabs conquered Persia for a bit, and did what they always do - levy a jizya on non-Muslims, burn the scripture and holy places of other religions, etc. The Persians eventually reclaimed much of their land and culture, but by then Islam had laid roots too deep to extricate. There were also some political advantages to Persia retaining Islam. So Zoroastrianism gradually died out.

There still are Zoroastrians, but very few - a quick search shows estimates from 124,000 to 190,000.

351 So the Michigan recount is over? Or at least it will be in a day or two, once the federal decision is rescinded?

As I understand it, the MI court decided Stein (of course) was not aggrieved, so the case should never have gotten into court. The federal judge could not make that decision, so ordered the recount to go forth, but with understanding it would be reviewed if MI state court decided Stein was not aggrieved.

If the federal judge had not started the counting, Stein would have faced irreparable harm if recount had not been started, due to the deadline, and MI court decided she was aggrieved. But now the state court decided against, the order can be stopped, but still has to be taken to the judge.

I suppose Stein will attempt repeal from MI supreme, which would surely be rejected. But who knows ... Florida broke the rules at their Supreme level with Gore vs Bush. This case is much different though ... Stein at 1%, not almost tied.

And Detroit apparently can't be counted anyway, because all the votes were tampered with, count did not match election day count, so only original vote can count. ... perhaps that was part of the Hillary/Soros fraud plan ... stuffing those boxes. who knows.

My scant and glib understanding is thusly;

Persia like most of the mid-east, mid-asia, etc. has been a mix of everything and everyone for 10k years. There were all sorts of animists, buddhists, even greek Zeus cults throughout the region.

And the Temple of Zoaster wasn't so much the dominant religion of its age as it was the 'last man standing' in a period when every temple was accusing the other of being the 'Shaitan' - it's thought by some that *that* period of religious war is the origin for the Judeo-Christian concept of 'Satan'.

My understanding is that the etymology of Satan indeed comes from the Arabic Shaytan/Shaitan, meaning Devil, though the Angel that quibbles with G-d about Job is usually Romanized as Ha-Satan ('the accuser').

yeah, it's like, while you're in there for the transmission, might as well fix the clutch.

that sound intense ... I can only guess there are risks to sticking foreign objects in there, even the stents, so only want to do it if necessary. I have no idea if stents can be put in through the same pathway as the balloon, but am curious. (I'd guess yes)

50% sounds like a lot ... they apparently figure that is enough, and safer than sticking in a stent. Looking at "stent" in wiki, it seems in 2007 or so they discovered stents were being put in more than needed. Better drugs keep coming along as well, so that is apparently the choice in your case.

range - he even stuck a special gizmo into one of the bottlenecks to
measure the flow rate - but that none are bad enough to fix right now.

Such a sweet story. I got a kitten, Kenny, who would go into kangaroo-kicking mode whenever I tried to pet him. It was frustrating, since he was so sweet-looking.
Then he got stung by a bee on his paw, and I took him to the vet. She took out the stinger and gave him a Benadryl shot, and while I was paying, they brought out another kitten and asked me if I would be interested in adopting. Such a sweet face, a black and white. I took him with the understanding that if they didn't get along, I'd be able to bring him back.
Well, it was love at first sight. Kenny and Taz were inseparable, like yin and yang. And Kenny became very affectionate with me as well, so we were able to cuddle. Taz was a gentleman, but really only loved Kenny.

That was a serious mistake but Newt's biggest fuck-up was when he went after Mittens in the 2012 primary ... from the left!! That was just totally insane.

It was a shame because I have always liked Newt and was long a strong supporter of his. He's a smart guy and knows - really knows - conservativism. His actions in the 2012 primary were just totally weird. He was a much better conservative than Mittens ever could hope to appear to be.

I still like Newt, and I mostly trust him, but with Newt I just have to accept that he pull some totally weird idea out of left field for seemingly no reason. I'll take with the bad with the good, and all, but I wish Newt just hadn't done these inexplicable and useless things.

Zoroastrianism arose sometime between the 10th and 7th centuries BCE in the area of Iran, and was the religion of the Persian Empire and later the non-Hellenistic successor states in the area, i.e. the Parthian and Sassanid Empires. The Sassanids were the last dynasty to rule Persia before the Islamic conquest in the 650's.

Zoroastrianism was initially not suppressed, but various incentives were offered to get Iranians to convert and eventually pressure was applied. Those who didn't become Muslim fled; most of them are now in northwest India (Gujarat) or scattered in small communities throughout the world. I do not think they allow conversions at all, and there is some debate about whether the children of mixed marriages can be considered Zoroastrian. Kind of hard on the membership numbers over the long term...there are I think around 200,000 in total today. Probably.

I do have one friend who is Zoroastrian, and she married a Zoroastrian guy and they have two children, so that's four that I know of for sure. Oh, plus her parents and sisters, so I guess I know there are at least eight for certain.

443 I do not think they allow conversions at all, and there is some debate about whether the children of mixed marriages can be considered Zoroastrian.

Same thing with Druze muslims. No conversions, no marrying into it and no mixed kids.

Newt got a ton done while he was Speaker. Everything that Clinton and the dems claim credit for was nothing but Newt. Clinton had to be dragged kicking and screaming to sign most of those bills (like welfare reform, that Clinton signed but then said that he would undo in his second term - which was funny because Clinton never got any of his own legislative ideas passed, at all).

Newt was a highly effective Speaker.

451 MH, what were your impressions?
-------

Every successful politician that I have met had a firm handshake, and looked me in the eye. They learn to make you feel that you are the most important person in the world. All of them.

As someone said, "Once you learn how to fake sincerity, you'v got it made"

This does not mean that they are *not* sincere, it just means that they are politicians, and making a positive impression is important.

This why when someone tells me that they met so-and-so and they were the nicest person in the world. I mean, I've heard that about LBJ, Eleanor Roosevelt, et al. So people come away enthralled. Witness Hillary.

But anyhow, Newt was very business-like, yet warm. I had no illusions about being best friends, I was trying to get him re-elected.

BTW, I met Gary Hart one time. Nicest guy in world, or so it seemed.

The most genuinely sincere pol I ever met was Lester Maddox. Lester didn't know me from Adam, but asked if I like to sit down and have lunch with him. Not a hint of guile about the guy. He was not the ogre that the media painted him to be, at all.

459 #436: "False charisma" is the scientific term for that.

It's a common trait of serial killers and serial rapists and Democrat politicians.

When it's pointed directly at you, and you have no preconceived notions about that person, it's very compelling. You will like that person.

When you see an interaction like that from the outside, though... the charmer doesn't seem nearly so charming.

I remember one incident in particular. I met a really nice girl at a self-improvement seminar. I saw this other dude flirting with her, and I just felt this rage boil up in me at the sight. She seemed to find him pretty charming, though. I pushed down on my feelings about their interactions, figuring it was probably just jealousy on my part.

A few days later, that guy was arrested for a series of rapes committed in several states.

Looking back on that, I really should've acted on those feelings, and stepped in and told that piece of shit to leave that girl I liked alone. But, I didn't, because I told myself I was just being jealous.

On the bright side, he was arrested before he had a chance to do anything to her. That's the most important thing, really, but... I still feel a lot of regret about that. Had I acted on my feelings, I'd have been a hero to that girl.

Instead, I was a wimp who'd failed to act on a potential threat to her. No way was I gonna win her heart after that.

So, yeah, you other guys around here... you find yourself in a situation like that, act on it. Tell that guy to leave that girl alone.

470 Well, I found Antenna TV in my cable smorgasbord, which a Moron last night mentioned is running "Newhart" (Bob's second show) at 1AM.

And so it was, and I got to watch two episodes. I think I'm going to start going there every night. It's been a good while since I've seen it, and I enjoyed being reacquainted with the characters and the devices and running gags.

We had Larry and his brothers Daryll, or of course. He would always come in and do that "Hi I'm Larry, and this is my brother Daryll, and my other brother Daryll". That never got old somehow. I remember watching some show about the show where talked about how it never got old. Mostly.

And Mary Fran. Joanna. She was pretty hot.

481 Yeah but that's not "heard" or infowars that's the actual total. You can download it play with the data. The precincts where the recount numbers are empty haven't been tallied yet but most of Milwaukee has been and those numbers are nuts. Even Trump being off 3.5k is crazy but her being off 32k is even more nuts. Half the recount is done and he's jumped from %48 to %53.

There's another case in Florida with 10s of thousands of ballots being opened and a witness saying she saw people marking absentee ballots but that's still can treated to the Chewbacca Defense. These are solid numbers.

510 Well crap, it looks like the Antec P50 mATX case I was building a new system in has a broken power switch. Either there is a break in the line or the switch itself is bad. Substituting the reset connector and pressing that button brings up the system and shows all else is good. The construction is such that I cannot see any way to get closer to the case innards to see if it is within my skill set to repair.

The added PITA is that I bought this about a year ago during a really great deal and so I cannot easily exchange it. I'll have to buy another and return the bad one as if it were the new one, which means two trips to the store. At least it isn't too far out of the way coming and going from the current job site.

It's a huge drag to get this far in a project and be at a standstill because the stores don't open for hours. Could be worse. If it was the motherboard that was bad, I'd have to go much farther out of my way to do a same day RMA with Newegg.

The BBs were finally in port after a long series of at-sea exercises. THey were planning an assault on the Japanese Marshall Islands. We dodged a bullet at PH.

The Marshall Islands plan could have lost the entire US Pacific fleet to a underestimated enemy with significant advances in long-range aircraft, torpedoes, and pilot training.

516 I appreciate the stories of unlikely friendships; I think the grace of God made some some of those friendships happen.

517 Traditionally, every President leaves a note for his successor or a gift. In TFG's case he will likely leave little caches of pot all over the office. Trump will probably be finding weed for months. Check the closet Donald, there's probably a smelly old bong in there.

518 Piss be upon Paul Begala and his liberal crap. The "confederate flag" had nothing to do with that asshole shooting those blacks in Charleston. Hell, we have "home grown terorists carrying and flying the US flag too. Should we ban it. Should we take it down from all public displays? Yes, even some liberal places are saying that too.


But the fact is that the NAACP plotted the removal of ALL vestiges of confederate history from the public decades ago. And they have conducted a war on all those monuments since then. The flag (which is most often the "naval jack") is only one of them. They still have a "boycott" of SC based on the flag being on the Statehouse dome when it was removed under a "compromise" decades ago.


But my big question is "how does removal; of that flag help black people"? That is what the name of the NAACP implies although they haven't done anything to advance black people in decades.

520 Traditionally, every President leaves a note for his successor or a gift. In TFG's case he will likely leave little caches of pot iPads full of his own speeches all over the office. Trump will probably be finding recorded bullshit for months.

*Suggested edit, although your way is probably more accurate*

As it turned out, Dylan Roof didn't have any particular animus toward blacks that could be documented. Many of those interviewed later later as his friends were black and didn't seem to think he was motivated by racism. Roof himself said the primary reason he chose that church was the likelihood that nobody there would be armed and stop him quickly. The race of the congregants didn't appear to influence the choice.

522 Time magazine will of course remind us that Adolf Hitler was "Man of the Year" once upon a time.
