The last suspect in the murder of reporter Daniel Pearl's is nabbed. A Pakistan Taliban terrorist — the last remaining fugitive sought in the 2002 murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl — has reportedly been taken into custody. In a report by The Media Line, posted by the Jerusalem Post, counter-terrorism officials in Islamabad, Pakistan, confirmed that Azim Jan, a commander of the Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan, an offshoot of al-Qaeda, was nabbed last Friday in a joint operation headed by Pakistan Security Forces.

Facial recognition technology will be scanning airline passengers in the future. One area where it will really be visible in the near future is in airports and, apparently, it won’t be long before each and every departing airline passenger will have his or her face scanned upon leaving the United States. The Verge reports that the “facial recognition system works by photographing passengers at their departure gate. It then cross-references this photograph against a library populated with faces/images from visa and passport applications, as well as those taken by border agents when foreigners enter the country.” This is part of implementing a program called a “Biometric Exit” which will “give authorities an idea of who is entering and leaving” as well as enable the government to more effectively identify people who overstay their visas in the United States. Your humble Cob is truly a white supremacist. Woke Journalist Says Owning Dogs Is Racist: They’re a ‘Tool of White Supremacy’ “The colonizers insist on colonizing.” And on the other hand Artificial Intelligence lacks diversity. H/T redc1c4 Lack of diversity in the artificial intelligence field has reached “a moment of reckoning”, according to new findings published by a New York University research center. A “diversity disaster” has contributed to flawed systems that perpetuate gender and racial biases found the survey, published by the AI Now Institute, of more than 150 studies and reports. The AI field, which is overwhelmingly white and male, is at risk of replicating or perpetuating historical biases and power imbalances, the report said. Examples cited include image recognition services making offensive classifications of minorities, chatbots adopting hate speech, and Amazon technology failing to recognize users with darker skin colors. The biases of systems built by the AI industry can be largely attributed to the lack of diversity within the field itself, the report said. Michael Avenatti is an equal opportunity rip off artist. When Hassan Whiteside of the Miami Heat wired $2.75 million to Michael Avenatti in January 2017, the pro basketball player intended most of the money to go to his former girlfriend, Alexis Gardner. Avenatti was Gardner’s attorney. An actress and barista, she’d hired him just a few weeks before to negotiate a settlement of a potential lawsuit against Whiteside. It’s unclear what she would have alleged. Avenatti quickly struck a $3-million deal, and the $2.75 million was Whiteside’s first payment Butterball power bottom has nothing to say. Sanity prevails at George Mason University. The president of George Mason University has reaffirmed the school’s decision to hire Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to teach a summer job in England after some students tried to pressure the school to reverse their decision. It seems when when sanity takes one step forward, insanity takes two steps back. Blue Lives Matter offends black employee to the tune of $100K. A county in Oregon has agreed to pay a former employee a $100,000 settlement after she sued the county for racial discrimination because a co-worker had posted a “Blue Lives Matter” flag in an office in support of local police. The former employee, Karimah Guion-Pledgure, had worked as a corrections technician for the Multnomah County Department of Community Justice since 2011 but agreed to drop her lawsuit and resign as part of the settlement, the Portland Mercury reported, although she will be permitted to apply for another county job. When do things get better? Paper towel propaganda. There is no such thing as gender. It is an imaginary social construct imposed by the patriarchy for sinister sexist purposes. No physical differences between the sexes exist. Any know-it-all scientist who says otherwise is a sexist who ought to have his grants revoked. This is why it is bigotry to say that men and women cannot switch genders at will. Some people cling bitterly to outdated views. They must be brought into conformity with the new way of thinking. Otherwise, their recalcitrance could undermine the engineering of utopia. Therefore, it is necessary to bombard people with the correct way of thinking at every opportunity, until each person believes he or she is the last one left who still doubts liberal dogma. Reeducation must be so ubiquitous that you cannot even buy a role of paper towel without being told how to think: This past week I was on a concert tour in California and I had the great honor of meeting Shorty Joe Quartuccio. He is an American Country Music legend- in the Country Music Hall of Fame for his work bridging Country Music with Western Swing. He is still alive and kicking in Sacramento and he’s a hoot and a half! This is a video documentary about his life. It may be something the Horde would like - When Shorty talks about his life, he explains why he wanted to fight in WWII: because he was patriotic. When he wins an award and gives his thanks, he thanks the US for ‘letting us in at Ellis Island,’... he’s humble and a good man...a great American. H/T Rondinella Momma Figures don't lie, but liars figure. A study claims that the medical use of marijuana has reduced work place deaths. The widespread adoption of medical marijuana laws may be having an unexpected effect: making workplaces safer. Several states have adopted medical marijuana laws in the last several years. A recent study seems to suggest that states with such laws saw a subsequent drop in the number of workplace fatalities among young adult workers. The study, by economists Mark Anderson of Montana State University, Daniel Rees of the University of Colorado, and Erdal Tekin of American University in the October 2018 issue of the International Journal of Drug Policy, looked at how fatal workplace injuries changed after states adopted medical marijuana laws. Passing out with vodka, cocaine and a toddler in the car. Genius Award Winner. A mother from Moosup has been arrested after police found her passed out behind the wheel of her car with her toddler in the backseat. Plainfield police say they were dispatched to Hank’s Dairy Bar on Norwich Road about 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Someone had noticed a woman slumped behind the wheel of a parked car.

He is making headlines running for President but he is still the Mayor of South Bend. Mayor Buttigieg has special duties to carry out the Monday after Easter. It's called Dyngus Day. It's the 8th time Mayor Pete Buttigieg has attended the Westside Democratic Club Dyngus Day festivities. An event that started in 1920 and will celebrate 100 years in 2020. 2020 is the same year Mayor Pete hopes to ascend to POTUS Pete. Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at April 22, 2019 10:16 PM (aKsyK) 89

I don't have Fox News. I am considering the switch from Sling TV to (shudder) YouTube TV, to fix that, but the point here is that I read my news, I don't watch it. Until I took some vacation and went to a place that I could watch Fox News, and discovered that that "Buttigieg" guy has somehow transformed the pronunciation of his name to avoid having to say "Butt."

Regarding paper towels and virtue signaling.
I find myself more and more gravitating to generic brands, dollar store stuff and WalMart. When it's cheap, poorly made and imported from a China, the goal is to capture a share of the market through price point rather than marketing. For this reason, nobody puts Transgenderjacks on my Sam's Choice paper towel packaging because that would require employing some overpriced marketing firm to design it as well as adding half a cent to the cost of the packaging production. As I approach my 29th birthday again, I find the minimalist approach more appealing, It's as if they are saying "It's paper towels. Surely you are aware of what they do. These suck compared to others, but they're cheaper, so there's that." I can appreciate that. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at April 22, 2019 10:41 PM (AyutR) 201

On another note -
Has anyone else had this experience? I know I can't be the only one. Decided to clean my desk and surrounding area today. I was getting ashamed of the dust on the shelves of the hutch - it looked like a shaggy animal of some sort had taken up residence. So if I am gonna do this, I am not gonna half ass it, I'm gonna go thru all the drawers and sort and organize. I found keys to cars that went to the junkyard years ago, stuff I don't know what the hell it is or why I kept it, and stuff I needed to hang on to for a while (but a while was over 5 years ago). The thing that really bugs me is keys that are "I-got-no-idea-what-this-is-for". Some of them are very odd sized/shaped. They aren't to my freezer. They aren't to my screen doors or my tool chest. They aren't to my gun safe or to any padlocks I have. I'm afraid to toss them 'cause the moment I do I'll find the damn thing they fit. I put them in a small container and stuck them in a back corner of my desk drawer just in case. I just can't quite bring myself to throw them out. What do ya'll do? How long do you keep stuff like this? Posted by: cfo mom at April 22, 2019 10:56 PM (RfzVr) 256

The board for my kids charter school sent out an email today announcing they are looking for new members to run the school. You can fill out an application, get appointed to some committees, go to some some training classes and start learning the process if you want to be considered. But most importantly, and this will be considered throughout the selection process,"you must show a commitment to ethic,gender and race based diversity and equity and the communities we serve."
Well I guess I'm out since I kind of think commitment to a quality, rigorous education for the kids and administrative skills and experience would be most important. But those ideas are so antiquated, even racist. Diversity, uber alles! Posted by: Ripley at April 22, 2019 11:00 PM (NbRJx) 268

255 The thing that really bugs me is keys that are "I-got-no-idea-what-this-is-for". Some of them are very odd sized/shaped. They aren't to my freezer. They aren't to my screen doors or my tool chest. They aren't to my gun safe or to any padlocks I have. I'm afraid to toss them 'cause the moment I do I'll find the damn thing they fit. I put them in a small container and stuck them in a back corner of my desk drawer just in case. I just can't quite bring myself to throw them out. What do ya'll do? How long do you keep stuff like this?
Posted by: cfo mom at April 22, 2019 10:56 PM (RfzVr) Literally forever. But since watching that Japanese chick's Teevee show, I've learned the importance of having places for your stuff. So all those keys are in a Ziploc bag in a cheap plastic drawer unit on the top shelf of my closet.

Posted by: cfo mom at April 22, 2019 10:56 PM (RfzVr) A month after I moved into the house, I heard something that sounded like a coin falling upstairs. Found this little bastard right in the middle of the hallway (nothing around it that it could have fallen from). I actually said out loud "oh fuck you, this better not be some haunted bullshit right here". Which is kind of a silly thing to say to yourself, and if you are in a ghost story, it pretty much guarantees that you're going to have a pretty bad night. https://stoatnet.org/wtfkey.jpg But so far, no other odd happenings here for the last four years. So either it's not haunted or else the ~spirits~ went to torment someone who can actually deliver a convincing line.

Several states have adopted medical marijuana laws in the last several years. A recent study seems to suggest that states with such laws saw a subsequent drop in the number of workplace fatalities among young adult workers.
Possible hypothesis: You are screening out more young adult workers from dangerous occupations after medical marijuana is legalized. A lot of dangerous occupations have preemployment drug testing - either due to Federal regulation, or to protect themselves from later lawsuits. When marijuana is completely illegal, people smoke less dope, and have a better chance of passing a drug test. With legal medical marijuana, they smoke every day, and are less able to pass a drug test (marijuana byproducts stay in your system for a considerable length of time). Secondary hypothesis: More firms in dangerous occupations engage in preemployment drug testing after medical marijuana is legalized, since chronic dope smoking becomes more common in job applicants. Either way, fewer chronic dope smokers are employed in dangerous occupations, and the accident rate goes down. Posted by: The ARC of History at April 22, 2019 11:07 PM (I2/tG) 298

I don't have Fox News. I am considering the switch from Sling TV to (shudder) YouTube TV, to fix that, but the point here is that I read my news, I don't watch it.

Posted by: Misanthropic Humanitarian at April 22, 2019 11:13 PM (aA3+G) Both sets of grandparents were like this. My Dad's parents were probably a bit worse. My Dad said he had never seen his father buy a new spark plug ever. I can remember on several occasions him cleaning and then re-gapping the old ones. He had some sort of automatic cleaner thing with brushes inside it. And he soaked everything in gasoline. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at April 22, 2019 11:17 PM (Pj83y) 341
Can totally relate to the Depression-era Babies that keep every little thing "just in case" they need it later. We had to send my in-laws to Mass while we cleaned out their garage. There were multiple tubes of hardened glue, little bits of wire and other assorted items. These items were not going to be needed in the retirement home they were moving to.
And, of course, the children of Depression-era Babies can be just as bad! We learned our lessons well. Posted by: Legally Sufficient at April 22, 2019 11:18 PM (RkS3d) 342

We live in a 2 story house, (built 1937) when we first moved in had something interesting we noticed for the first couple years. The bedrooms are upstairs, wrapped around a rather large landing where the stairs are. Sometimes, late at night, i'd step out to a bathroom in the hall and smell distinct cigarette smoke right next to a little railing on that landing. Now, no one smokes in my house - no one even who visits smokes. And this would happen when the only other person in the house, my wife, was in bed asleep. I'd go downstairs to see if I could find a source - but not a hint of it down there. I'd come back up and it would be gone, like it never was. So, I'd go back to bed.
This went on for a bit, and one night it was my wife who left the room and came back, looking kind of puzzled. She said "you know sometimes I smell cigarette smoke here?" And I said let me guess, it's always right next to that little railing on the landing, isn't it? and she "yes, there and never anywhere else." and she said she didn't know why, but she had the impression that an older gentleman with a hat was just standing there, having a smoke. She didn't "see" him, exactly, but she said she felt him. Hasn't happened in a couple years - maybe he decided we were fine with this house, and he didn't have to keep an eye on us anymore.

The line in "The Flintstones" theme is not "Let's ride with the family down the street through the courtesy of friends you'll meet..." It's "Let's ride, etc. through the courtesy of Fred's two feet." I figured the friends were the sponsors of the show, who we would 'meet' in the commercials. I was eight- it made sense to me. 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

really, in these dating situations, the question is when you first get to second, when you are kissing her and grabbing her boob, do you lean back stare lovingly at her and then, with a solid hold on her boob, lean in, squeeze her boob hard then say "HONK HONK" or not.

Interesting fact:
Right after my... situation... blew up at my state job in 2010, after (yes) an attractive co-worker, I was assigned, at my counseling center, a young psychologist who was, yes, IMHO good-looking. I would have asked her out, if I thought I had any chance, I had any self-esteem left, and if she wasn't my counselor. Anyway, she was quite helpful, especially with regard to keeping me from becoming entirely bitter and hateful about women. But one thing she DID tell me is, yes, women CANNOT stay friends with men they know are attracted to them. She explained, it's way too awkward and difficult. She also told me the 'let's stay friends' thing is pretty much entirely a Hollywood fantasy. So, I owe her for telling me the truth about that, at least.

No, I'm not disappointed it didn't happen Date 2, if it takes a few more dates that's fine, but at some point if it doesn't happen I'm going to start getting overanalytical about why. It's not a conquest or something - it's just confirmation. Until it happens she might just think of me as a friend that she occasionally tongue kisses.

I am going to simplify things, or try to.
You are either on the "I want to get laid eventually" track or the "I don't care as long as you're a real live girl who will talk to me" track. Now, both tracks are valid, but you can default to one if you're not careful and it may not be the one you want. If you want to be on the "I Want to get Laid Eventually" track, you have to say that. Say that early. Say no pressure it doesn't have to be by date X and there are no certain preconditions, but this is where I want it to go." This is her chance to tell you no it's not going to go there. This will save you both a lot of trouble. You will rarely get a girl out of the "no I like you but don't want to have the sex" zone, and if you do it will be a one-off. So, don't push but set realistic expectations.

On serious note for Broseidon:
The pinnacle of technique in "seduction", (if "technique" may serve as an inadequate descriptor of chivalrous behavior)... Is when you've handled things so skillfully and adroitly that she thinks the "action" is HER idea, and acts accordingly. You can but set the stage, arrange the music and adjust the lighting.

There are college girls today who will fuck anyone out of boredom. These are not who we want. We are trying to help a nerd through a nerd thing. I am an old.

The only rebuttal my devil's advocate will proffer is that I'm horny.
.... Here's the thing. Women have more considerations than men. Could be a "I didn't shave my legs" or "it's not a good time right now" or a "I have to show some standards" or any other number of things she is taking into account. Men are more like impulse buyers. It's kinda like "she seems to not be psychotic or drug addicted, I'm all in!" type of attitude. As is, you've enjoyed each other's company, you've signaled what you'd like, so at this point, ball is in her court.

no this is what the ONT is like.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at April 23, 2019 12:07 AM (FSPNP) 534
I am going to simplify things, or try to.
You are either on the "I want to get laid eventually" track or the "I don't care as long as you're a real live girl who will talk to me" track. Now, both tracks are valid, but you can default to one if you're not careful and it may not be the one you want. If you want to be on the "I Want to get Laid Eventually" track, you have to say that. Say that early. Say no pressure it doesn't have to be by date X and there are no certain preconditions, but this is where I want it to go." This is her chance to tell you no it's not going to go there. This will save you both a lot of trouble. You will rarely get a girl out of the "no I like you but don't want to have the sex" zone, and if you do it will be a one-off. So, don't push but set realistic expectations. Posted by: Bandersnatch at April 22, 2019 11:53 PM (fuK7c) What about the two tracks of I just want to have fun/get laid versus I'm looking for a long term relationship/marriage opportunity? If you're in the second category the sex will have to wait for more than a few dates. Posted by: Evasiveboat42 at April 23, 2019 12:07 AM (Rz2Nc) 535
Think we might have driven by one 'a them trailer park dens of iniquity in western NV last month, somewhere between Reno and Fallon and Bishop, CA. Wasn't a situation where I could slow or look very closely, but I recall a "Truckers welcome" sign, and wondering "what's this?" - some sort of small office bldg. and rows of trailers behind it.
Sub-meh. Only regret is not stopping at the gun store outside Fallon that had a sign "We buy guns in any condition". Small town gun stores have a much higher chance of holding treasures that are under-priced, or just available at all (older models). Posted by: rhomboid at April 23, 2019 12:08 AM (QDnY+) 536

$266/oz for middling weed?
What idiot would pay that? You can grow that ounce for a 80 cents, if that. You can grow much better than middling weed for a pittance. And I don't want to hear from the so-called pot experts who always pop up to claim that growing weed is so darn difficult. It isn't.

Posted by: The ARC of History at April 23, 2019 12:18 AM (I2/tG) Societal effects of pornography are myriad, at least the claims. That is has reduced crime (rape especially.) That it is nuking Japan's birth rate. I'd say it is one of those things that may be all of these things (also influences young dude's attitude and expectations of sex- and not for the good) and more, or none of them. It is hard to judge an effect on culture from inside the culture. Like asking a rat how he thinks the maze is today. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at April 23, 2019 12:21 AM (Pj83y) 566
"Rent the Chicken" is a unique company that gives Hoosiers the opportunity to have chickens in their backyards before making a full commitment. You can rent chickens for six months while the parent company provides everything needed: mature egg-laying hens, a mobile chicken coop, food and water dishes, feed, an oyster shell and bedding. All of this is delivered to your home and completely set up. The "Rent the Chicken" standard package, which includes two hens (giving you about a dozen eggs per week), starts at $450. Their "Deluxe Package" with four hens - giving you about two dozen eggs per week - starts at $650. Those are flat fees that cover the entire six-month rental period.

Anything is difficult if you obsess over it. Posted by: pawn at April 23, 2019 12:16 AM (dPTGY) And people like to intentionally confuse industrial growing with personal growing. I don't know why but they do. People in ALaska have been growing weed in their homes for decades. It used to be legal there back when it wasn't legal anywhere - years and years ago - legal to grow up to four plants or something and lots of people did. People grow weed all over the place. What's difficult is industrial farming (of anything) to a schedule, but that's never what I'm talking about, but those who like to argue about this just don't care. Like I said, it's about the same as growing tomatoes. Weed is even easier, but ... it's close enough. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at April 23, 2019 12:25 AM (k2fed) 575

Broseidon.
Do what I did from '99 to '06. Buy a suitable boat, moor it at a local body of water and make it your domicile. You'll soon hear the phrase "oh, I've never slept on a boat before!" More than once. In sales, this is what is known as a "buying signal". More on that later, as needed. It all goes to managing the circumstances and setting, best as you're able. If you can at all cook, select suitable music, present a clean and neat setting and most of all... display interest, all while behaving properly and impeccably, you'll improve your odds by a magnitude of order. Should your skills suffice....bring all the fixin's, and cook that sensual repast in HER kitchen, by agreement. Dessert, might be more than dessert.

The "Rent the Chicken" standard package, which includes two hens (giving you about a dozen eggs per week), starts at $450. Their "Deluxe Package" with four hens - giving you about two dozen eggs per week - starts at $650. Those are flat fees that cover the entire six-month rental period.
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at April 23, 2019 12:22 AM (aKsyK) That's actually not unreasonable for a backyard flock for six months if they do all the setup. Unless you're really creative and resourceful, you could easily put $250 into a coop and run that will keep raccoons out. Easily.

Ironically, San Manuel is Southern California's MOST Vegas-like casino, in that it's multi-level, overpacked with distractions, always crowded, and everything is placed way too close to everything else.

In this case though, I'll opt for the pre-needle days, when the Master would go out to the felled steed, and dispatch it by means of a revolver. Most often a .32, given it's less-loud and piercing report. There's a poetic justice in a "Hillary" horse, meeting it's maker by means of the flaming report of a gun sending it's copper and lead message with a loud bark and conclusive end.

I have a trick, because let's face it, we're all tempted to be different around women... When I'm getting to know a lady, I just pretend it's a dude (no homo). I mean like I just met some rando at a bar and we're bullshitting, having a cool conversation about whatever comes to mind. That way you don't come off all horny PUA, or like you're an ass kisser, or a pussy. Most guys overcompensate (in one way or another) with women that they never do with other men.

I have noticed something odd about the Shell pumps: they cut off too soon and almost will never fill the tank. Must be something to do with their vapor/vacuum/back pressure sensors that they use to do the auto shut off. Will almost always leave a gallon or so of empty space in the tank.

Posted by: Broseidon Czar of the Brocean at April 22, 2019 11:33 PM (0De39) My unsolicited advice: Remember the one-month anniversary by making something homemade for her. I made a cake and drew icing tulips (her favorite flower) on it. Remembering that one-month anniversary lets her know a) you like her and b) you're serious. If cooking is not in your skill set, a surprise quiet dinner at a non-chain restaurant will work, but only if you give her a simple bouquet when you arrive, telling her why you brought the flowers. Most married men can't remember their wedding anniversary without lots of prodding and hints, so that'll put you ahead in the game. Posted by: RickZ at April 23, 2019 02:10 AM (Y8PSl) 736

Teddy Roosevelt once famously said, in so many words, that the further a country moves away from war, from the need to FIGHT and spill blood for its freedoms, the softer, the more liberal, the dumber it gets as a whole. We are at that point now.

I was in a megalo mart tonight. Three grown men of the Millennial persuasion almost knocked me down at the turn of the aisle. They were not acting crazy or running we just happened to meet at the same place.
So this cart was one of those with a seat in the back for a kid. Instead, it had three adult M's, one crouched down in the front, one sitting in the kid seat, and the other pushing the thing. They acted like what they were doing was as normal as can be. They even made a point of sliding up to the register with a line and loudly asking if the store had "pasteurized eggs" No one knew what they were talking about, but i did. Pasteurized eggs are used by really scared people for making raw egg nog. Anyway, they acted like what they were doing was completely normal, and I am sure that was the point. Normalize our weirdness or else! Someone else in line said something to the checker and I said, "well it is 2019 and EVERYTHNG is normal now". I later said in a normal era, someone would throw them out. She countered that she only was concerned about them getting hurt. I said loudly that this is just like people in stores who allow their kids to scream and act as if it is nothing. She responded that it often works to ignore them. I told her that "back in the day" they did it other ways and you didn't see so many kids screaming at the top of their lungs in stores. This was no big thing, it happens every day. But when we try to convince people about politics or even normal adult behavior, we have to realize that many, and possibly most, don't agree there is any such thing as proper behavior. I did notice a few nods when i called out aberrant, infantile behavior by adults. But they all stood quietly and went along to get along. No one stands up anymore, it is just not worth it to them. Even stores that could get sued will never tell someone they are acting like a bunch of asses. It is better to just take it and move on. Posted by: Quint at April 23, 2019 03:02 AM (n13/j) 765

Diversity is a loaded word, maybe the most loaded word we have
today. The left is not stupid, it is difficult to argue against diversity. And many of us have no issues with diversity in a normal, libertarian world. We want the best no matter who they are or where they come from. I once postulated an all too real Army platoon that was very diverse. They had Vietnam vets, guys from the Old Guard, Marines, vets from Grenada. They also had college kids and kids from the farm. Now that platoon was diverse and it helped them. These people could draw from other's experiences and improve their overall effectiveness. It is a generalization, but the average active duty platoon is much less diverse, mostly high school grads and some NCO's with more experience. The point it is that diversity can improve results and I doubt many here would disagree. OTOH, if you had a group of the ten greatest rocket scientists. Would you believe that cutting five from the group to create an arbitrary diversity would help the mission? If you already have the best, would warping the thing on political lines make it more effective? I could go on and on but wont. What the political left want's is to use diversity as a cudgel that gives them power. If that cudgel doesn't give them the power they want, they will use another. They don't want diversity they want the destruction of opposing opinions. We were a national that said e pluribus unum. We were to make one of many. Now the left wants us to have no unity of spirit and no unifying cause. We are supposed to be a weigh station of divided groups and divided interests.

These people don't want us to be tolerant they want us to be servile. There was a time not long ago when al the left claimed to want was equality. No, they want our views smashed and thrown on the ash heap of history. What are our options today really? We could win a few elections in a row but the real work would be getting patriots into education, entertainment, and themedia en masse. Does that seem likely? Has anything ever moved forward on that front? Even the Tea Party was snuffed out by whatever. What I envision is a peaceful separation with a more libertarian central government. We can come together on some things like defense; but the rest we leave to the states and various regions. I hope there is a change of heart where Americans come together, that would be the best outcome for sure.

I would like to learn more about what Eisenhower was really warning against. Somehow it doesn't add up that he was against defense contractors per se. He did just win a world war based mainly on the economic might of this country.
It might be worth deeper research to find out what the man was really concerned about. I would guess it was political influence but even there I have doubts he was against the Cold War. It is kind of like Washington and "foreign entanglements". Yet he was pretty quick to align with Britain against France. Posted by: Quint at April 23, 2019 08:02 AM (n13/j) 916

Sorry to say but @foxandfriends is by far the best of the morning political shows on television. It rightfully has BY FAR the highest ratings, not even close. Morning Psycho (Joe), who helped get me elected in 2016 by having me on (free) all the time, has nosedived, too Angry... ....Dumb and Sick. A really bad show with low ratings - and will only get worse. CNN has been a proven and long term ratings and beyond disaster. In fact, it rewarded Chris Cuomo with a now unsuccessful prime time slot, despite his massive failure in the morning. Only on CNN! ==== Are you not entertained?

really warning against. Posted by: Quint at April 23, 2019 08:02 AM (n13/j) He explains it in the speech. Firstly, he warns that perpetual high military spending is a drain on the nation's wealth ... by outlining the equivalent things that could be done with the money. For example - one bomber equals one school. Secondly, he warns that the military would seek to keep spending levels high even if the need for high levels didn't exist .... as the military wanted the power and industry wanted the contracts. Eisenhower was no free market guy ... he didn't really talk about government not spending the money at all. But he did talk about other things government could use the money for.

Posted by: creeper at April 23, 2019 08:07 AM (cXTEt) I am going to do more research on the subject. Eisenhower was a great leader and president, there is no doubt there. It is pretty obvious that people pluck out specific quotes and use them to their own devices, just look at the 2A and "militia". I could see Eisenhower being concerned about the dawning nuclear age for good reason. I studied this guy a bit but not this specific quote. My guess is that context is king here.

The problem was the tire itself! Apparently the tread was about to part company with the rest of itself. They replaced just the one, since we were in a time crunch (needed to check out of the hotel and the dealer service people weren't moving very fast) and put the last old tire on the back left instead of front where it had been put when I got two new tires a month ago. Did I mention both trip and story were long? About 400 miles later, just south of Oklahoma City I decided I didn't like how the van was still bouncing, but in the back, so pulled into a Walmart with a tire service and asked them to replace that last old tire. Service guy said the interior belt (?) had broken. He said it was unusual but had seen it from that company on tires for his personal vehicle. He recommended keeping the tire and seeing if there was a warranty, but we weren't packed in a way to make adding a dirty tire to the interior work well. So that's why the trip was *even longer* but not exciting. Trying to limp along at progressively slower speeds would have been horrible, and the potential for final disaster in Dallas construction where there *is* no shoulder would have been high. Glad to be home. Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at April 23, 2019 12:19 PM (uquGJ) 940
