Sen. Ted Cruz Shares 7 MAJOR Victories For ConservativesFascinating Idea
The New York City Subway Is Beyond Repair This is an ambitious plan to change it. I think he's about 80% there. The idea of subterranean scooters is stupid, but I could definitely see how a non-train based system could work. The way I picture it is this: electric cars, centrally controlled by computer. 2 lanes each way, a merging on/off lane and an express lane. Each station is a third lane outside the other two. A passenger enters the station, gets on the front car, and punches in their destination. The car leaves the station, gets in the merge lane, merges into the express lane and travels directly to the desired station, where it merges off. There would have to be more to it, but that's the basic idea. Clean, quiet direct subway transportation. Never happen though. There's no way New York could survive w/o its subway during the transition period. Still, if I was designing a system from scratch, I'd take a close look at the concept DC Joins Marvel

It's About Damned Time I'm not even Catholic and this bothers me.
The Catholic Church generally, and the Bishops in particular, likes to cherrypick its Cathechims. I thought I’d produce this full as it’s funny how the last line of this is routinely ignored, esp within the church. pic.twitter.com/cJeYVxFAT5

President Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie, told investigators that Clinton sometimes met privately with Monica Lewinsky but coached Currie to say otherwise, according to New York Times sources. Specifically: 1) Clinton testified in the Paula Jones case that he didn't recall ever having been alone with Lewinsky, but that if he had been, it was strictly for official business. 2) Currie says that the next day, Clinton summoned her and pitched her an account of his relationship with Lewinsky by posing and answering leading questions, e.g., "We were never alone, right?" But, contrary to Clinton's account, Currie says he and Lewinsky were sometimes alone, though she doesn't know whether they had a sexual relationship. (The Washington Post's source described Currie's report of the meeting somewhat differently: "Clinton probed [Currie's] memories ... to see whether they matched his own." He "told Currie she had always been in earshot whenever he was with Lewinsky and asked if that was right. She answered yes [but] later told investigators that she was not physically in the room with them at all times.") 3) Currie has supplied investigators with a dress, brooch, and hatpin that Clinton gave to Lewinsky. 4) According to what Lewinsky reportedly told investigators, Clinton advised her that if she didn't have these gifts in her possession, she could avoid having to turn them over to the authorities. Soon thereafter, Currie took possession of the gifts. A source close to Clinton told the Post that Clinton "was trying to confirm the accuracy of his own memory, not coaching Currie about what she should say."

Long time Catholics are well aware that many of our Bishops and Priests have failed to raise their voices when necessary over the years.
We do what we can and vote with our feet to try to find a home Parish that holds to tradition.
For the life of me I cant figure out why open and unfettered immigration seem to be in vogue right now. You'd think every now and again the staff could hold to the pro-life aspects of our faith instead. I don't think that is too much to ask. But no, it is not as important as allowing anyone into our country in all circumstances.

I've been saying for a long time that the word "conservative" has no meaning. It means a hundred different things to a hundred different people, which is to say it has no meaning at all.
And it's absolutely toxic to people who do not consider themselves conservative. That's why I facepalmed when Mitt Romney called himself "severely conservative" in 2012. There was no better way to make undecided middle-of-the-road voters run away screaming.

I heard it pitched on a podcast, it is supposed to be a P2P alternative social media site, where all the "sins" of the other social media like buying likes and paying people to follow is codified into how it is run.
Apparently it pays content producers for producing content and being followed in Etherium blockchain based tokens, which can be used, you know, for buying likes I suppose.

Winston, I urge you to keep looking. It took me years to find the right Parish but it was very much worth the search. We are not Rad Trads but at my new place, some of the young women choose to wear veils. I hadn't seen that in 40 years. Couple things like that with traditional rituals and doctrine and it feels like home again.

I was originally a Cruz guy, until I looked at the slate in the primaries and saw that Trump was the only candidate the had enough fcuk you money to run, win, and be beholding to no one as President.
The problem now, as I see it, is who is gonna be the next Trump? I get that Trump can still back Trump 2.0, but I still do not see the individual who will run like he did and win. I assume this is in 2024.

Some loudmouth who has no backing.

Someone spreading a rumor he heard from a reliable source that is likely one of the eight voices in his head.
Or a combination of the above. And I like having a passing joke before going to bed.

When I was a kid, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, one of my many aunts kept a flock of attack geese and when we went to visit (I was still in grade school) those effin geese terrorized me. They bite, they chased me all over the yard, and I got no sympathy from the adults. I think those geese would have killed me if they could have caught me. Vicious animals. those geese.

Most cities and counties are funded by grants and property tax. And some states like Oregon have no sales tax at all, and just about everyone I have asked figure the only reason the gov'ment would adopt it would be to tax everyone even more.

All of the parishes in my area are SJW ones with kumbaya masses. They make me cranky. Real cranky.
We regularly go to a little Anglican Catholic church where at least we can get a solemn, God-oriented liturgy and traditional Nicene doctrine.
Then 4 or 5 times a year we travel to someplace where there is a Latin Mass.

I agree. The evil thing about property taxes is that you don't own your property; you only rent it from the government.
This also had to do with why only property owners were allowed to vote in early America.
A consumption tax makes sense on many levels. I think environmentalists would support it if it was done right. The smaller your footprint, the less tax you pay. And the virtue-signalling Hollywood leftists would have the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is.

Horror movies, which I don't like; don't like being frightened out of my wits - don't think it's fun and entertaining for the whole family. You have to be psychotic to enjoy that.
Bloody, gore-filled action movies with no discernable plot.
Revenge movies, tired old revenge movies - tired old actors playing the same character they have been playing for fifty years.
Animated feature-length movies for adults - cartoons for adults. Seriously!
Superhero movies, the ant and the wasp and spiderman XXIV and a VW beetle that transforms into a sensitive and caring robot that has to fight other evil transformer robots for some reason.
And there are a whole bunch of Sci Fi fantasy movies that are just not entertaining.

I am no expert on the "Fair" tax either. Some of the ideas are great, but once you get the govt involved in *tweaking* it, well you know what happens.
A high sales tax should have to be contingent on a statewide ban/amendment on property taxes. And if the state raised your income taxes, at least they should not be able to
I just have a real problem with the idea of the state saying you have to pay them every year or they will confiscate what you already bought and paid for.

I go to an FSSP parish that's an hour's drive away. The awesome Tridentine Mass. The women in hats or chapel veils. Silence in the sanctuary. No politics in the pulpit. Large young families in the pews. A serious matter taken seriously.
Went by necessity to Mass at my local parish one Sunday. What an embarrassing show. I wasn't sure whether I had wandered into a revival meeting. At least the services at the Protestant congregation I went to for years was dignified

Ya know, I've never had goose. I hear it's a real fatty meat. Duck, to me, is too greasy. There used to be a Chinese place where you could get pressed duck. Deboned meat, pressed into a patty and lightly fried.
I got that dish every time I went there. Alas, they quit carrying it, and now the closest I can find is duck spring rolls. The Peking duck is meh.

There was a time when I was young and pretty and went to nude beaches that were full of young and pretty people.
I think most of them are decomissioned now, so this might be a generational thing.

I'm not a fan of consumption taxes. I've heard the arguments for them, but I don't buy them. My gut says that it would end up either highly regressive or a nightmare or exemptions and fraud that would be no bwtter than the current system.
And I certainly don't want a Value Added Tax in any form. Sure, it may sound like a small amount to tax, say 2%, but that tax gets collected from everyone in the supply chain, so multiplication.
What I do want is a flat 10% tax on income coupled with a balanced budget amendment. And that amendment would have some teeth to it, because it'd have an automatic sentence of 10 years in prison for even daring to suggest any deficit spending and 20 years for bringing such a budget to the floor for a vote.

If I only have $10,000 to spend on a car and the tax is 10 percent, I pay $1000. The guy buying the $100,000 car pats $10,000. The rate is equal to my observation. Am I missing something? (No snark, honest question.)

With a straight-rate sales tax, the poor pay the same rate of tax as the rich, which some people see as "regressive". I see it as fair, especially seeing as the poor usually benefit directly, cash-in-pocket from government programs funded by, wait for it, taxes.

OK, as I've admitted I think the good ones are decommissioned.
Nantucket, between Surfside and Miacomet. Internet says access not so much anymore.
Martha's Vineyard had two. Gay Head, now called Aquinnah, had amazing natural clay baths that are now off limits due to enviros. Basically you had natural grey and red clay and people would wallow around naked and paint themselves in red and grey stripes. It feels really awesome when the clay dries and squeezes your skin and then you go into the water and it feels awesome when it comes off.
The other one on the Vineyard I think still works, Lucy Vincent Beach in Chillmark. Carly Simon lives in Chillmark but I've never seen her there.
Echo Lake in Maine had a great one but I went back later and nobody was naked.
Jones Beach on Long Island was amazing, the spot where it turned from state to federal land marked the transition to nekkid, but that's gone away.
Same with Fire Island.
You can still get nekkid with a girl who likes you on a couple of the beaches on the outermost part of Cape Cod, it just takes walking a mile or so, but it's not like being around a bunch of people who are comfortable being nekkid in public.
Stop me if I'm oversharing. I'm a fan of nekkid. I have some Krautish implications and I appreciate their free body culture, which also isn't quite what it used to be.

Not really regressive. Folks like the Kennedy's protect their wealth from US taxes by setting up foreign trusts in countries with less or no taxes on those instruments. The Kennedy clan gets their money, and Uncle Sam doesn't.
With a consumption tax, it doesn't matter if the Kennedys hide their income and assets overseas, every penny that they spend on Scotch and Percocets gets taxed.

A consumption tax is regressive in the sense that 10 percent is a bigger chunk for the poor than for the rich. 10 percent of $1000 is significant for the poor and chump change for the wealthy, for example. That's why the Fair Tax has the prebate built in.
I go back and forth on sales taxes; without a fairly robust mechanism for blocking other taxes, it just amounts to another way to scoop dollars into the maw of the beast.

@ Weird Dave.
Hate to bear the bad news, but the teak veneer/laminate woodwork there is pretty much kaput. You can sand and refinish what's there, but the delamination has begun, and there's nothing really able to stop it.
At a minimum, you're going to buy a 4'x8' sheet of Teak & Holly top-layered plywood, from which you'll cut out a new cabin sole to install.
I would though advise, to also cut out the befouled wood above the sole, up to the same level as the seating throughout the boat. Every cabinet, every locker, every bulkhead.
It's not hard then to somewhat "camo" the join-line between the new and old. And instead of trying to scrupulously "match" the new and the old, I'd go for contrasts such as a much darker veneer for that lower 16" or so, or conversely, even a different material altogether, such as using Corian as a vertical surface in those areas.
Also, plan on a complete replacement of all the upholstery belowdecks. Cushions and covers alike.
It's NOT as bad a job as it seems. Cardboard templates are your friend, and it's like eating an elephant... "one bite at a time", or in your case, one hanging locker, get that done then move onto the galley cabinets, etc.
More good news.
While you have the old cabin sole finally ejected from the hull, you can freshen, renew or just generally do service on every single component found under said sole.
This is a once in a lifetime chance to do "zero hour" maintenance on all of those hidden systems aboard ship. So, do them.

Posted by: Bandersnatch at June 15, 2018 11:31 PM (fuK7c)
One of Jackson's problems was that he tinkered with every album so much, that by the time they were released and the videos recorded, he was so deep in the red, that they had to have sales of 15M to break even.
Jackson was living off the value of the Beatles song rights that he bought when Thriller came out. Not on the income, but he borrowed against the value of it.
He had no cash when he died, and his death, like Elvis', got his Estate back into the black and a profit machine again.

Bingo, this is argument. It boils down to this:
- Poor people spend all of their money
- Rich people do not spend all of their money
As a result of these two facts, the poor person will in all likelihood spend a greater proportion of his total earnings in percentage terms than the rich person will.
I am generally fond of the idea of a consumption tax *if*:
- Only on the final value of goods and services sold (not a VAT)
- Only on *new* goods and services. Taxes have been paid already on used goods.
--> This prevents double-taxation and enables an opt-out. If you want to withdraw consent, you can limit your consumption of new goods and services (grow your own food, etc.)
- No exceptions. New house? 10%. New car? 10%. New jet for you to fly around? 10%.
--> Yes, this would devalue new goods over used to some degree. Those new products better be damn good and built to last.
- I am not sure I love the idea of the prebate, but I am open to it.

East Europe commie bait for the couple of people who like that.
Right after Communism I was driving around East Germany in a rented BMW. I had more than the correct number of whiskeys. It was raining.
Also, they still had roads made out of cobblestone. They had frickin Autobahns made out of cobblestone, but this wasn't one of those. This was a local road with a really sharp turn for which I was unprepared.
I slid into a ditch a little bit. A Trabi driver showed up and said "I have a tow cable". I said, that's awesome you have a tow cable. He said "Trabi drivers have everything".
Unfortunately, despite everyone's best intentions, a rented BMW weighed about 3,000 pounds and a Trabi with a tow cable and a friendly driver weighed about 500.

And Farmer, thanks for giving me the chance to repeat my astonishment, and disgust, with Dir. Wray's press event yesterday.
We're not talking some fixable PR or communications issue here. The attitude - and understanding - he displayed was bizarre, idiotic, and revolting.
Combined with the contents - and the cowardice and almost comical mendacity of the IG report's findings (not factoids) - I'd say the problem at the FBI is far worse than even most feared. And Trump (for now) seems to think Wray is the guy for the job. Disaster!

Fact-heavy presentation of the story, which left no doubt serious crimes were committed (if you know the law and the systems), followed by ..... totally incongruous "but no prosecutor would prosecute" nonsense. IG findings/body of report have the same relationship.
But it's worse, in a way. The IG report (haven't finished it) actually buys the rationales given for the "team" not doing almost anything normally done, and obviously logical to do in such a spectacular case of systematic wrong-doing at the very pinnacle of the federal structure.
Given how cowardly and unpersuasive this IG report is, I'm not holding my breath that the likely equally brazen criminality involved in the FISA process will be treated seriously in the next one.
But Wray is a complete disaster, taking him at his word. Unbelievable. The defiant, snarky

Sounds kind of a macro-particle analog to a cyclotron. But if the rocket is attached to, say, a huge Ferris wheel, and spun at a peripheral velocity of 5000 mph, there are going to be huge G-forces on the whole structure. Huge. And the wheel will have to be balanced. If you dump the rocket off the upgoing side of the wheel, you are going to have dump an equal amount of ballast off the downgoing side, or else the wheel will try to tear itself out of its bearings.
If it can be made to work at all, I can't see it being used for manned spacecraft, because of the G-forces.

The Germans called it the "centipede" or had the code name "High Pressure force pump" I believe. It was a multi-chamber gun and they had trouble getting the chambers to fire precisely on schedule. I think they used it to bombard an English port and since it was not mobile, the RAF took it out.
V-3 was the designation.
Bull was going to build one to get payloads into orbit, had worked one design out in Canada, and figured to use solid state electronics encased in resin or something for the payload.
He lost his funding but Sadam Hussein was interested in developing it - either as a long range bombardment weapon or as a satellite launch system, supposedly he had felt the lack of reconnaissance during the Iran-Iraq war.
It was to be built into a mountain.
Embargo ended that because they couldn't get the high pressure tubing to build it, and Bull wound up being shot in the head.

demonstration of centrifugal force (that power which governs and controls the
universe and regulates and impels the motion of planetary bodies round the
sun), this most efficient engine stands without a parallel; commanding wonder
and admiration at the simplicity of its construction and the destructiveness of
its effects; and is eventually destined to inaugurate a new era in the science
of war."
Sad it is that the day where such purple prose would be employed to raise needed capital to forward the goals of manufacturing new and impressive ways to kill people who likely need it.

Once I lost control in the rain and spun out into the grassy median. (I've told this story before. It happened when two geese strolled in front of me and I swerved to avoid them.)
A tow truck happened to be passing and the driver saw the whole thing, and he stopped. Yes, I had to pay for the tow, but I didn't have to wait.

Thanks for giving me something to research.
It broke my heart when at a young age I lost faith in my church.
When I was homeless, I went back to church.
I went to Sts. Peter and Paul Church at 800 Kaheka St, Honolulu, HI 96814. I cried and prayed. Said the Holy Mary prayer in the front of her statue in the back left of the parking lot and put a necklace someone gave me around the statue's neck. I went over to the statue of St Joseph to the back right of the parking lot. Never knew of any prayer for him so just did the Lord's Prayer. At the end of all that, I was exhausted. All during this time, a fellow homeless man named Wes sat and waited for me. So I get done and we walk across the street to Don Quijote. We sat down at one of their outdoor tables. I just collapsed and fell asleep. Wes looked after me the entire time. So I don't know where I was going with this... maybe God answered my prayers by having Wes there. Maybe it all meant nothing.

Bishop creates viral meme highlighting frustration laity have with weak bishops
This guy is from Australia, where another bishop (Pell) was recently defrocked because of his involvement in a pederasty scandal. So I'd like to think this bishop is talking about issues like abortion or pedophilia, but the quotes in the article are kind of vague, as is the meme. For all we know, he may be thinking of global warming or open borders.

"As the higher Church authorities have failed in their duty in I hereby decree that everyone holding a bishopric or higher in these countries will join a monastery and do penance until told otherwise. The dioceses will be ruled by caretakers until I can find worthy priests to fill the posts.
To the good people who are under this decree I ask them to be patient, we will study your case and restore you to your position if possible. To those who refuse to comply, you will be excommunicated"

For a brief time, I was the happiest eleven year old in the world when my dad told us we were moving to Hawai'i.
Then I started sixth grade soon after arriving. Hated it.
Seven years later, I was so desperate to get away from Hawai'i (and the folks), I joined the Army after high school.
The Good Idea Fairy over at the Five-Sided Nut House thought it would be an excellent idea to...station me in Hawai'i.
Fortunately, the GIF assigned to me knew what she was doing.

Oh, and for all you haters of soccer/the World Cup, yesterday's 3-3 draw between Portugal and Spain was one of the best World Cup games I've ever watched. Portugal up 1-0 on a PK, then tied 1-1, then up 2-1 just before the half. In the second half, Spain came back to take a 2-3 lead midway through before Ronaldo (the best player in the world at the moment) scored his hat trick on a curling free kick over the wall from just outside the box late in the game to tie. End to end action. A game to watch on replay if you hate the game. You might be surprised.

Every National team has what is considered their 'golden boys' team, a team that is fondly remembered as the best produced and makes an impact. This is Iceland's golden boys team which I'm sure will be remembered on that island for generations to come. Italy, the Netherlands and Ireland didn't make the World Cup, but tiny (in geography AND population) Iceland did. It's the real 'feel good' story of this tournament (so far). Portugal winning their first ever World Cup with Ronaldo would, of course, overshadow that.

Well, I'm the oddball Yank as I've loved football ('affectionately' called kickball by some here) since I was a wee lad in the 1960's, way before it got any coverage at all, print or tv. I started watching one hour edited games from the English First Division and the Bundesliga on the local PBS station. I was hooked by age 12, well before soccer moms were a thing.
So far, I've seen live:
Cosmos-Peru, 1982 (a tune-up for Peru before the Cup Finals that year)
USA-Colombia in a small US tournament in 1995;
USA-Mexico and Ireland-South Africa in a friendly doubleheader in 2000;
Saudi Arabia-Morocco in the 1994 World Cup at the Meadowlands;
Ireland-Italy, 1994 World Cup;
Mexico-Bulgaria, 1994 World Cup round of 16;
Germany-Bulgaria, 1994 World Cup quarterfinals.
I love me some football.

Go ahead, sign the Amnesty bill. Then I won't have to bother voting in November. OR in 2020 OR ever again as the Democrats with your help will surely usher in a system whereby anyone Devoted to the Constitution can never ever be elected.
I'll let nature take it's course.
If Trump won't keep his promise and the GOP won't stop committing suicide, why vote?
They
want that for the country; fine. I'll just hunker down and try to stay
out of the way of the 2nd Civil War which those actions will make
inevitable. Or when the new population pushes older citizens out of their homes and property.

The gasoline in a bottle was named for Molotov in 1956. The Finns didn't call it that.

I never should've been with the class I was thrust in.
They were all bigger, smarter, more active and I was constantly berated and shoved around. Even the dummies of their year were looked on better than me.
Now if I'd gone with the year after, I'd have been the star. I was smarter and better looking than that entire class. They were the lowest of the low overall in school but that would mean I was above them.
My entire life would be different if I'd been put in that class.

The Finns were the only people who managed to use the Brewster Buffalo as an effective fighter plane.
The Brewster factory was only a couple of miles from where I live.
And who thought "Buffalo" was a good name for a fighter plane? There was the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang, Lightning, Wildcat, Hellcat, and... Buffalo?
One of these things is not like the others.

The name "Molotov cocktail" was coined by the Finns during the Winter War, called in Finnish: polttopullo or Molotovin koktaili. The name was an insulting reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was one of the architects of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed in late August 1939. The pact with Nazi Germany was widely mocked by the Finns, as was much of the propaganda Molotov produced to accompany the pact, including his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbors. The Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts. When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".

I've tried them a couple of times when they are in the hotel rooms. Biggest complaints, you can't make the coffee as strong as I like it unless you don't use as much water. And you go to the "work" of brewing a cup, one cup. of coffee with the promise of doing it all over again for a second cup

We must have different opinions of what constitutes "work". If I can put a cup in the tray, mash the 'start' button like a spastic ape, and have coffee ready when I get out of the shower without having to wake up 100%, I can't call it work.
My only complaint is that it's so effing wasteful, so I don't use it if I'm already awake enough to tie my shoes or remember my name.

That's why the work was in bunny ears. Let's see, I need to put water in the machine, put coffee in, hit start with either machine. One machine rewards me with one cup of coffee, the other rewards me with however many I want and keeps it hot until I want another cup.
