The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“We’ve got to teach history based not on what’s in fashion but what’s important. If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are. I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.” Ronald Reagan


Quote II

But I respect her as an opponent – to do otherwise would be to lie to ourselves that our opponents are hopeless and helpless. She’s a tough old bird, surviving cancer and other perils and yet she always comes back to torment us with her appalling jurisprudence. You gotta give her props for never quitting. She’s the Energizer Liberal Jurist.Kurt Schlichter


Quote III

"Having my culture represented by an almost entirely white troupe of dancers is incredibly frustrating. Additionally, the director, and other representatives of the theater company absolve themselves of cultural responsibility by saying that the point of the show is to increase exposure of Hinduism and its traditions. Hinduism is not widely practiced by white people. Hinduism is not widely practiced by Europeans. Hinduism is practiced mostly by South Asian people, who are historically not white and have faced discrimination for that.”

White European dancers will never know my intersectional experience as a Hindu woman, being a brown bodied person and the other aspects of systematic racism that I, as well as other South Asian people, have experienced,”Maya Krishna

What did you major in college, Father? Why child I majored in Emotional Deficit Attention Disorder.

Social media posts from the University of Illinois campus police are encouraging students to report “acts of intolerance” to the school’s Bias Assessment and Response Team.

Our society is truly screwed. Helicopter Mom won't wean her 21 year old son.

21 Year-Old Son Buys Car, Mom Contacts Seller To Return Money


What do rude people with a complete lack of self-awareness tell themselves before sleep? ‘You miss every opportunity you don’t take.’ Or at least some version of it. Redditor /u/MetalM1ke has just sold a car to a guy for $4,000 and all seemed well until a week passed and his mom decided to go berserk. Clearly a fan of mafia movies, she contacted /u/MetalM1ke, demanding he returns the majority of the money.

“I had been trying to sell the car for the better part of a month,” /u/MetalM1ke told Bored Panda. “The 21-year-old found me on Craigslist.”

“My first impression of the kid was he had no idea about anything when dealing with BMW’s,” he added. “He really was in over his head but he was so excited I didn’t wanna spoil how great he felt… The negotiation went alright. I lowered the price a little bit ’cause he really wanted the car and he seemed like a nice kid and he said his dad was a gear head. That made me feel better about selling it to him.”

“Little did I know, his mother was a helicopter parent and refused to let her son stand on his own two feet and she was clearly a dilettante when it came to buying or selling cars.”


I guess I would have told her, "Bring it on.............

Law enforcement cannot make you use your fingerprint or facial features to open your iPhone.

A California judge has ruled that American cops can’t force people to unlock a mobile phone with their face or finger. The ruling goes further to protect people’s private lives from government searches than any before and is being hailed as a potentially landmark decision.

Previously, U.S. judges had ruled that police were allowed to force unlock devices like Apple’s iPhone with biometrics, such as fingerprints, faces or irises. That was despite the fact feds weren’t permitted to force a suspect to divulge a passcode. But according to a ruling uncovered by Forbes, all logins are equal.

Rome vs. The Vatican, Follow the money.

A row has broken out between the mayor of Rome and the Roman Catholic Church over what should happen to coins retrieved from the Trevi fountain.

Every year nearly €1.5m (£1.3m) is fished out of the famous landmark. It is traditionally given to a Catholic charity to help the destitute.

But now Mayor Virginia Raggi wants the money spent on the city's crumbling infrastructure instead.

The Catholic charity Caritas says the loss of income will hit the poor.

It appears everyone involved in this story deserves a participation trophy in this Genius Award Contest.

A 62-year-old woman ‘came back from the dead’ in a morgue and was rushed to intensive care – only to die again several hours later from hypothermia.

The grandmother had been drinking with relatives at a party in Vasilyevka, Russia, when she appeared to have passed away.

A policeman then certified her as dead and took her ‘body’ in a hearse to the morgue.

Geoff Montgomery: It's worse than horrible, because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.
Larry Lawrence: You mean like Democrats?
Interesting that the NPC phenomenon was recognized nearly 80 years ago.

26 Hinduism is designed to institutionalize racism and ensure that white/light brown people will rule over browner people for perpetuity. That is the whole point, Ms Maya.

Just understand that we are the highest caste of all, and you will achieve inner peace.

27 The bit about face unlock and compelled password disclosure is good to see. It should be like a safe with a combination lock. I can be ordered to unlock it, or to provide the combination, but I can refuse because that is a clear-cut fifth amendment problem. If they cops *really* want what I have it in, they can hire a safe cracker to open it if they have a warrant.

Electronics should be no different. Can't crack the safe? Tough shit. The fifth amendment isn't any more optional the rest of them.

29 $4k for a used Beemer? That's not so bad. Plus the 21 year old had saved for it.

If his mom was footing the bill then, yeah, she gets a say, like how my mom (and dad) ensured I drove around in a lemon Mercury 1994-99 until I could buy a Honda. But if he's 21 and paying for his own ride then that ride is his.

In Roman decimation, one man in ten was picked and the other nine had to immediately beat him to death, right there.

I must say it would be darkly amusing watching overweight, out of shape bureaucrats attempting to beat one of their own to death. If one keeled over from a heart attack halfway through, would that count as decimation complete, or as a bonus?

I was having a conversation with some LIV acquaintances of mine - the topic ended up on Sikhs and why they have to carry knives on them at all times.


I told them it was because of generations of Muslim attempts to exterminate them in Indian and the constant need to defend themselves.

66 This letting people shut down groups and activities that 97% enjoyed by throwing mindless tantrums doesn't bode well for society. When exactly did we start that? Was it the jihadis and folks not wanting to have actual "death to the infidel" fatwas issued so they groveled and then later the nominally now adult children who were always given the cookie instead of a swat or a time-out just got in on the action? Or did people in charge start out with giving in to fucking 200 lb toddlers throwing fits?

It has been a long, slow process - but essentially it is the left taking over enough of the government the culture to start punishing people for doing the right thing.

As basic human psychology tells you if you punish people for something they will do less of it.

Said they were the coolest guys on earth but if you fucked with them they'd literally cut you to pieces. He related a story about watching them attack a Japanese position-- afterwords, another guy told him they'd found the ground in front of the position covered with the Gurkha's rifles. They'd dropped them, charged in and slaughtered everyone with kukris.

There is no difference under the law. The judge can order you to give the password or submit to the biometrics. The only difference is the practical one. They can hold you down and force you to give the fingerprints, etc, but they can't actually force you to give them the password.

So, the judge finds you in contempt and throws your ass in jail until you give in. He can afford to wait you out. He can be stubborn and go home and sleep in his own bed at night, while your stubbornness means sleeping in a jail cot. That is, if you are lucky and don't get stuck sleeping on the floor next to the toilet because they are overcrowded and don't have enough cots.

146 I hope I'm not boring y'all with my updates, but since I shared the bad news and begged for prayers, I think it only proper that I share the good news/prayer results as well.

So today Robin (youngest sister) and I went to visit Mr. Empire. He is looking MUCH better than when he collapsed Sunday, and they have him sitting in a chair and walking (with a walker at the moment, rather than his usual cane). That was a major relief to me, I can tell you!

He's also talking better, as long as he doesn't try to speak too quickly (at which point, "tongue gets over eye teeth, and can't see what I'm trying to say", but as the deyhdration continues to improve, I'm hoping that will also resolve itself.

Folks, do yourselves and the rest of the Morons a favor, and keep hydrated! I went through this last Christmas, now it's Mr. Empire, and before that it was Ace. Dehydration is Really Serious Business, and can be fatal ... so do yourselves and the rest of us a favor -- keep drinking anything that won't DEhydrate you. Water, fruit juice, sports drinks ... that sort of thing.

184 Today in the Annals of the Pookette Wars:

She needed to bring something to Show and Tell that began with a F or R. She couldn't bring a toy, since that would cause other kids to "covet." So we decided while she was in the bathtub to have her bring an American flag. A crisis emerged when it was revealed that she had broken the stick of her miniature flag and straightline winds had damaged our outside flagpole. Since she goes to a patriotic school, I told her to use the flag in her classroom to tell the others how she would respect it when she lived on an Air Force Base. However, in the aftermath of battles over Penguin and her hair choices, the idea was forgotten and she told her teacher that she didn't have anything. Now she wants to seize tomorrow with her flag pillow.

This epic saga will continue, I am sure.

battery in the trunk. It was so corroded that I had to by a new one.
They had to order the cable from Germany and take the cabin apart to run
it to the engine. Total bill, $1750.00

really good friend had a used car business for 25+ years. He would buy and sell anything, private party or auction. He would market in Japanese cars, and Audis, but no Mercedes or BMWs.

He said he lost his butt on every German car except an Audi or a VW.
Guy made a lot of money and is now living in Hawaii, and walks the beach every day for entertainment. His wife manages the 3 rental houses.

267 Seems that it would be fairly easy to install a deadman's switch on an iPhone.

You can already set up your iPhone to auto-wipe if the wrong password is entered ten times in a row, and you can set up your iPhone so you can wipe it remotely, upon your signal.

Doesn't seem like much of an extension to have an app that would wipe your phone if a certain amount of time had passed since a valid login. So, if you don't log in for twelve hours, say, the phone auto-wipes.

If the cops complain, shrug, and say that you are worried about thieves getting your information.

274 I've done the German car thing, four times now. One Benz, three BMWs.

Only the Benz suffered a cracked cylinder head at 235k ish miles. And that was due to a failed thermostat, not an inherent flaw in the head itself.

One 735i BMW ate it's driveshaft center-bearing. That one required a drive shaft rebuild, which as I recall, cost about $300 in 1995 dollars, vs. a new BMW shaft and bearing, at roughly $1,200.

That's about as bad as it got on expenditures. The Benz (300d), cried out for all new vacuum lines, but I really didn't need the pneumatic door locks or cruise control that badly.

I'd kill for a "new" 1978 Toyota Corolla SR-5. With air conditioning, cruise and no other power accessories.

If anyone knows of a more dependable ride than were those, I'd love to know about it.

Main concern is getting Mr. Empire1 back up and running. Definitely look forward to running with you, but am also a big believer in family being priority.

Of course, but there's nothing I can physically do to help him in the hospital (except maybe warn the nurses about his smart-alecky sense of humor, which is back in full force)! The pets need fed, and I'm taking advantage of stress/boredom to do a spring cleaning a bit early. The download needs no attention except for re-starting it in the morning and shutting it down before bed.

So I spend 3-4 hours a day with him, then come back home to do maintenance and prepare for his return.

Which reminds me -- need to check the level in the propane tank tomorrow.

I think this is where the Left is going. The Constitution is too constraining, and if they get enough power, they intend to jettison the Constitution, without going through that pesky amendment process.

They'll just announce the inauguration of the Second American Republic, and come up with a new set of guiding laws that they find more congenial.

Mahomes Pop was a pro baseball player. He told the kid and taught the kid how to act when you lose, and when you win.

The kid has that part down pat.

I don't know a whole lot of youngsters in the NFL that do.

I'd quit the NFL 2-3 years ago, and this kid MADE me go back to watch.

He's fun.

Also, our defense seems to be ignoring our defensive coach, and are getting more aggressive.

294 Not saying it's a fact or claiming any sort of supremacy for anyone.

But so many who claim they are treated poorly because of their skin color apparently never consider that perhaps some other trait sets people off that is also coincident to their skin color.

Or it could just be that what they believe to be bigotry is just plain old dislike at first sight of other people with no cause ignited by their skin color. It happens.

When someone is watching for bad behavior, it's usually easy to find or at least claim they found it.

And since humans are not perfect nor universally likable, it's quite possible certain races have traits that other races find objectionable.

The notion of equality is misconstrued. All persons should have equal opportunity but since humans are faulty, that is not guaranteed. Just like justice is not guaranteed.

Equal outcome cannot be guaranteed without threat of violence brought about by oppressive regulation. And even then many will disagree with the outcomes.

Meanwhile so many are oppressed unto death it becomes obvious that guaranteed equal outcomes can never be worth the price paid by too many.

301 I've done the German car thing, four times now. One Benz, three BMWs.

Only the Benz suffered a cracked cylinder head at 235k ish miles. And that was due to a failed thermostat, not an inherent flaw in the head itself.

One 735i BMW ate it's driveshaft center-bearing. That one required a drive shaft rebuild, which as I recall, cost about $300 in 1995 dollars, vs. a new BMW shaft and bearing, at roughly $1,200.

That's about as bad as it got on expenditures. The Benz (300d), cried out for all new vacuum lines, but I really didn't need the pneumatic door locks or cruise control that badly.

I'd kill for a "new" 1978 Toyota Corolla SR-5. With air conditioning, cruise and no other power accessories.

If anyone knows of a more dependable ride than were those, I'd love to know about it.

She was, like very other Disney princess, a highly idealized version of American high school girls. With a grass dress. Still,the idiot SJW were able to work themselves into a frenzy about supposed cultural appropriation of some trick-or-treaters.

Beto isn't bright enough to propose getting rid of the Constitution on his own, so someone has put him up to it.

Makes sense - we have been inundated with piecemeal denunciations of parts of the Constitution since Trump was elected - it makes sense that eventually this would all meld into a fundamental denunciation of the document.

I'm sure the argument will be that the Constitution gives small states too much power, and it is impossible to fix that through the amendment process (since small states can block amendments), so the Constitution as a whole needs to be annulled.

Reading through the left-wing denunciations of the Senate and Electoral College, one would never guess that seven of the ten most populous states voted for Trump, and five of the ten least populous states voted for Hillary.

I saw Milo on facebutt giving full support of Owen Benjamin, and Vox Dei (another person with a hate-boner for Peterson). Milo called Peterson a marxist, and said that he would give evidence. A week later he gave a non-apology. I don't know what this fuckery is, but it is not worth my time.

we had a constitutional law professor who was a huge proponent of the living document Constitution. He was seductively evil. He would present both sides of a case in a very evenhanded way. Then in almost down home way he would say, something like "but, you know that was written a really long time ago and you really cannot expect any document to go unchanged that long and meet the needs of the people.", or some variation thereof.

for young people without experience it was convincing.

really, for him it was completely deceitful. he never suggested that we should consider whether or not we would want to sign contracts without fixed meaning. he never suggested simply using the tools for amending the Constitution.

he is ultimately an evil fellow.

Meh. They saw you coming. Cut back the corroded battery cable to where it is good (usually less than a foot), and splice a new end on it. There are mechanical splices made for that purpose. Install an Optima battery, which is unlikely to leak, about $140, and you are done.

Hardly anything critical seems to pop up in their search results.

A few weeks ago, there was someone who posted something comparing Google searches to the other engines, with something like "Hillary email" or something like that, can't remember exactly.
All the other search engines brought up the Hillary investigations in some sort of order, Google didn't even bring them up at all, even when the entire negative phrase was typed.


Pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ bigger than their shoe size that Google searches are crooked and Leftist.

Six flag raisers.


Extra kid in the photo (tho it's quite cool).


And then there's con-TRA-versy, as the Brits say, about the exact ID of the six. A Shultz is argued by some to be in the photo. But we know 3 of the conventionally ID'd six died within a week or two on Iwo, and the the other 3 famously came back and did a bond tour. Dunno about Shultz.


Still the most produced/reproduced photo in history, I think. Though I've always wondered about Neil Armstrong's flag salute on the Moon - just through population increase and global comms and development by 1969, seems that pic would have outdone Rosenthal's famous pic.

Dorcousa.com
Dorco is Korean, and half price of the Gillettes.

And once you buy from them, a couple of time a year they have a 50% off their regular price email, so you pay about a quarter of Gillette.
Stock up with 6 blade razors, with lotion strip and a nice, heavy handle, for cheap.

Open world space games are hard. Starflight took many man-hours; and Starflight 2 was basically just a mod of SF1. Star Control 2 went famously over-budget. SC3 was famously ass.

And don't get ANYONE started on the lawyer circus that is SC:Origins.

This is the game that was supposed to replace the cancelled Visceral Studios Star Wars game. The game that EA whined was too much of a linear single player experience that no one ever wants to play anymore.

I still have that undying love and belief in this country, that it is the most exceptional country on the planet, populated by an extraordinary people.

Nothing will ever shake that belief.

We have prevailed in similar perilous times throughout our history because we are Americans, by virtue of a political system unique in the world.

Like Jim in Galveston, I and so many others took that oath with no expiration. It is clear to me that at some point we'll be called on to fulfill it.

What form it will take is unknown to me right now, but there will be no hesitation.

There is no doubt we'll prevail, no matter the cost--because we ARE Americans, and as such are denied the option of failure.
Never forget that.

MoMe, there are quite a few lurkers in east Washington and Idaho. Posters are mostly Wet Side as far as I know. Plus some kind of a big deal posters are trapped Behind Enemy Lines in west Oregon...

Barbasol is excellent shaving cream never a wrong choice. The higher-end version of gillette's twin-blade has worked well for me for many years. As good as anything more expensive. The cheaper versions do not do as good a job for me. Lots of scrapes and nicks. Of course it may not be the razor's fault. It may be the hideous pustules and suppurative gangrenous erosions due to infection by The Warp that leaves my skin so easily damaged.

I have an occasional use a straight razor for fun but not practical for use in the shower for speed cleaning to get the day started

And I have noted McCarthy's incredibly brazen contempt for GOP voters (apparently well founded) as reflected in his 11th hour frenzy about "border security" - something he and his leadership (both sides of the Hill) did nothing to 1) advance, or given Senate Dem obstinacy/risk-taking, 2) politicize, in 2 years of GOP control of both houses.

For several years now I've used some heavy stainless safety razor, either a Merkur or cheaper knock-off, with Feather blades (sort of an Axis shaving system, if I use an Italian shaving cream ....). Domestic brand of shaving soap, with badger-bristle brush.


And I stockpiled so many disposables from hotels during past travel-heavy years that I use those at the gym and pool.

I saw Milo on facebutt giving full support of Owen Benjamin, and Vox Dei (another person with a hate-boner for Peterson). Milo called Peterson a marxist, and said that he would give evidence. A week later he gave a non-apology. I don't know what this fuckery is, but it is not worth my time."

This is not unlike certain preachers and the "prosperity message".

I know of one, who in the late '70s, was cautious as to this, and taught James 4:3 "Ye ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

But now he flies Lear Jets, and teaches "Name it and Claim It", as it seems to be a far more effective in the filling of his mega TV church coffers.

Peterson isn't fully unlike said preacher. Much of what he teaches is truth, but undermined by the corrosive soul of collectivism, which like the sin of materialism....like the core of all sin, actually... is selfishness.

And I, chief among sinners, sure do know it when I see it.

An Indiana lawmaker wants anyone under 18 to be required to wear a helmet if they're riding a bicycle, scooter, skateboard or a pair of skates.

The bill proposed by State Sen. Jim Merritt, a Republican from Indianapolis, would allow police to impound children's bicycles, scooters or skateboards if they are riding without a helmet.

While we all yearn to earn a living above our supposed Pay-Grade, our actions speak for themselves and the Work we leave behind it testament to our efforts.

Jordan Peterson is a Rhetorical Figurehead whose tantalizing proffers offer no more than what his efforts thus-far have left behind.

500 >> When 600A service isn't enough.

Heh, I remember when I saw my first real electric service. I worked with a local electrical contractor all through college during the summer. It was natural, because electric power systems are one of my favorite things. I love it like a ficus.

Anyway, I had only seen dinky residential services, and I was soon confronted with a 5000A 480V service for the local Sherwin-Williams plant in Fountain Inn.

I saw a 5000A main breaker for the first time, and a 5000A switchboard. There were current limiters before the breakers on that switchboard. The fault current of the transformer,coming off its on little substation for the plant, well it was a wee bit more than 10kA. They make breakers with 100kA+ fault withstand and interrupting capacity, but they ain't cheap.

I stood there in awe, and my boss laughed his ass off, saying I was worshiping the thing.....

Then I did like it was a ficus....

Vox Day, Owen Benjamin and my own common sense.

When someone asks you a question about God and the answer is, "It depends on what you mean by "God", you get a pretty good sense about the speaker.

"Jesus Christ", to him, is a Fictional Character and he admits as much in his early YouTube talks. He often refers to him as anything other than the Son of God.

His rhetorical quality depicts intelligence, yet he cannot be "pinned down" in an interview when asked Direct Questions.

If some broad draws blood, she is No Longer "A Lady".

Once I see blood, she is now a "combatant".

I care not if she carries a weapon. She has proven herself not to be a "lady".

I will act accordingly and subdue the aggressor. God knows it is easy enough to bend an arm behind the back.

One, with a simple takedown and arm lock hold. She was yelling Uncle before her tits hit the deck.

The other? She took a swing, which was easily dodged.

My counter jab was fast, powerful, effective and final.

Bitch's eyes rolled up into her head on the way down.

She woke up in the USAF E.R., handcuffed to the bedrails.

Her formal complaint as to brutality, was dismissed after a 20 minute interview. But again, that was the '70s. Today though, I would have enlisted as a plumber, learned a 100k + trade where WAFs are few, and kept my head down.

Do not really have much to comment on. Got new a new prescription done a couple weeks ago. The glasses came in first. I had had the last prescription (contact) for a good ten years. Now, this is the first time I have worn glasses for longer than a couple hours since I got contacts, which was *coughthirtyyearsagocough*.

It is amazing how bad my vision got without noticing a huge difference until I had something to compare it to- especially driving at night. 'Has it always been this bright?' 'Were those lights always there?'

It is kind of funny. To me at least. Plus even with the heavy prescription, they managed to get the glasses light as hell, so they are comfortable.

1.WTH were 11-year-old girls doing at the mall unsupervised at night?

2. I feel bad for that guy, since he was trapped in a no-win situation. Ignore it, get jumped. Walk away, get jumped. Defend yourself, get arrested.
3. To the lady recording the video-why do you sound so shocked? They were deliberately provoking him and one got hurt. You sound older than those girls, so why didn't you put down your phone and try to diffuse the situation? Oh, that's right-the attention was more important than any damage done.

569 here used to be a small libertarian Blog that I used to read often. I can't remember the name of it, but the proprietor went Full-Bent-Capital-L-Libertarian.

I'll find the name....

"SooperMexican".

He was like Glenn Beck. He "Crossed-Over" from Never-Trump to Okay Trump, but still kept his "Capital L" bent.

I still can't remember the name of the Blog.

570 The Shit-Sore that the MSM had against Trump buying Fast Food for the Clemson players was so ridiculous that I hope it keeps spreading upon their collective skins.

The Non-Story and their contempt for Middle-America shows with every elitist character they type.

I typed about Juan Williams earlier in the day and I "said":
"Juan Williams never misses a chance to shit himself and wave his pants like a flag."

Those dudes loved a Fast-Food Smorgasbord and Trump knew it.

The whole, "Women make salads"- thing is even one-step off from the Sammiches I expect.

601 One prediction among the Brexit discussions:

Basically the EU will piss and moan, but apart from some level of disruption from the usual French troublemakers, things will continue.

At some point an actual deal will be signed with very little press coverage in the EU and little fanfare in the UK which allows trade to continue in a manner similar to pre-Maastricht (i.e. pre-1992)

Life will go on.

Of course there are a variety of opinions about the role of Jesus but no reputable historian thinks Jesus never existed. Even Bart Ehrman who started out as an Evangelical and is now either an Agnostic or Atheist and who writes books on Scripture believes that there was an actual person named Jesus. Much for evidence for him than there is for Mohammed.

That thread has now grown to well over 300 comments.
And as importantly, if you go to the bottom where the comments link is, you will find links to four updates.

I encourage you to take the time to read both the comments from Sals Front Porch crowd (The moral equivalent of Teh Horde), but go to the update links as well.

Having served a sea duty tour in the 7th Fleet, there is nothing that I read concerning manning, mindset, qualifications and tasking that is out of step with my experiences.

The story of the FITZ is pretty much the story of the Navy, right now.

Maybe it is just a reflection of our society. Never served but spent 7 years on Navy bases. Heard a CO go into a long winded speech about how what used to be outside his base is now inside. Drugs, rape, incest, spouse abuse....

Like the whole toxic masculinity thing. So 45% of boys are raised by mothers and 72% of teachers are women. I think we can all agree that they have failed to raise men. Look at their hero, Bhuessein raised by a single mother and grandmother who was afraid of every Mohammedan thug!

My wife never went through any of that. But from Day One of our marriage she has never been satisfied with the temperature. I've asked her repeatedly the exact temperature she is comfortable at. Just give me a number. There is no correct answer. It is always either too hot or too cold.

She'll walk into a room, after walking up and down a flight of stairs and say, "It's too hot in here." Five minutes later, she's grabbing for a sweater to put on because she's too cold.

The rioting in Paris, I was thinking about last night. Macron 'was' a socialist then ran as a moderate. Who then pushed up taxes, and initiated a bunch of so-called 'green' initiatives. Who is now being rewarded with riots because people feel scammed.

A lesson for the Democrats here. Don't pick a 'moderate' to run against Trump from the center. Pick the most outrageously unapologetic socialist you can find. Go 'balls to the wall'. Go 'big or go home'. Just 'do it'.

This testimony accords with that of many. You are in good company.

754 Gillette stock has seen no punishment for its stupidity (yet). Thanks to the vast reservoir of stupidly in this country I doubt there will be anything besides a couple days of outrage and a short, small boycott.

^^^^ This.

As a former court clerk, I can tell you that too many otherwise good Americans do everything they can to get out of jury duty. It's really not fair to the litigants to be left with the dregs of society deliberating their case.

I understand how difficult it is for the self-employed because they truly suffer financial hardship, but for the rest of us, we should just be honest and serve if chosen.

Who would you rather have on a jury judging you? AOC or Ace?

Okay. Let's have that Hawaiian judge or the 9th Circuit decide all cases. That 7th Amendment is BS, and besides, it was written eons ago by dead white men, right?
