Number one, there was a birth notice in the Honolulu paper that day in 1961 when our President was born. Second, when you tell African Americans the first black President in US history isn't even really born in this country, and you run for President, you end up polling, among that group, in the grass, near zero.
You could put a Black corpse up and African Americans would vote for it in overwhelming numbers...
As a group they are too ignorant to think about real choices.
That's why their non-appointed leaders (like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton) rule the roost. Their elected representative like Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7XXVLKWd3Q Or even Cynthia McKinney are prone examples of race exploiting African Americans...

O'bozo didn't get his height from white little mama, or that short drunken black dude from Kenya, who finally killed himself in a fatal car accident, having lost at least one leg in a car accident previously.

Notice how when the muzz roughed on into India, the Hindus fought, and stood their ground, the Buddhists high tailed it to the mountains, and to the east.

Islam shouldn't be considered a religion, but a death cult that panders to the very lowest instincts of the unregenerate human male.

How To Think Like Shakespeare
So how can you think like Shakespeare?
His mind was shaped by rhetoric, a term that you probably associate with empty promises — things politicians say but don’t really mean. But in the Renaissance, rhetoric was nothing less than the fabric of thought itself. Because thinking and speaking well form the basis of existence in a community, rhetoric prepares you for every occasion that requires words. That’s why Tudor students devoted countless hours to examining vivid models, figuring out ways to turn a phrase, exercising elaborate verbal patterning.
Antonio Gramsci described education in this way: "One has to inculcate certain habits of diligence, precision, poise (even physical poise), ability to concentrate on specific subjects, which cannot be acquired without the mechanical repetition of disciplined and methodical acts." You take it for granted that Olympic athletes and professional musicians must practice relentlessly to perfect their craft. Why should you expect the craft of thought to require anything less disciplined? Fierce attention to clear and precise writing is the essential tool for you to foster independent judgment. That is rhetoric....
In other words, style over substance? Wake up and read a book on how to form a logical argument and stop making a fool of yourself. Think don't emote and posture.
We find that 31% of them (Trump supporters) also support building a wall along the Atlantic Ocean to keep Muslims from entering the country from the Middle East.
-We broke down how people were planning to vote for President this year based on whether they had been to their local library in the last year or not, and found a significant divide. Among voters who have been to the library, Clinton has a 17 point lead at 54/37.
It's hard to see the value of Trump's previously proposed wall (Trump's estimate 1,000 miles) when the Mexican and Canadian borders together are about 12,000 miles long. And if you wanted to cover every nook and cranny of the coast we could be talking about 50,000 miles. And I don't think that includes Hawaii (sorry Doug).
Tough job, although Netanyahu seems to think Trumps wall idea is great though. Israel is planning on building a wall (fence, whatever) around the entire country. Of course, we are only talking about approx a 1000 miles there.
And, you will see, Quirk, if you were to think about it, most Mexicans sneak in from Mexico, not Canada.
To get to Canada, they would have to come through the USA, and what's the point of going to all the trouble of going through the USA just to sneak back in from Canada ?
The other option is to swim to Canada, but most Mexicans aren't know as great ocean swimmers.
The Rio Grande is another matter.

By Sarah Westwood (@sarahcwestwood) • 8/30/16 12:58 PM
State Department attorneys said Tuesday the agency had discovered 30 Benghazi-related emails among the records recovered from Hillary Clinton's private server.
A judge asked the agency to hasten its review of the documents in preparation for release to Judicial Watch, the conservative-leaning group that filed the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
The emails were included among the roughly 15,000 emails FBI agents said they pulled from Clinton's server in the course of a year-long probe.
Others were deleted beyond recovery after the Democratic nominee's team used a digital tool called BleachBit to scrub the hardware that was eventually confiscated by law enforcement agents.

The goal of a “safe zone” is a laudable one: to protect civilians from attacks in a designated area. But despite its misleadingly simplistic name, establishing a “safe zone” in Syria would put civilians in even greater danger and risk prolonging Syria’s bloody nightmare.
Here, then, are the three main reasons so many humanitarian organizations, human rights advocates, and other experts in civilian protection warn that Washington and its allies militarily imposing a safe zone in Syria would harm, not help, civilians:
1) A safe zone would concentrate vulnerable people in one place, making them a perfect target
When one combs through interviews from United Nations officials, humanitarian aid workers, human rights advocates, and Syrian refugees regarding their concerns about a safe zone in Syria, one word will continually resurface: Srebrenica...
2) A safe zone would need consent from the warring parties to really be safe
Like the “safe areas” in the Bosnian war, a safe zone in today’s Syria would not have consent from all of the major warring parties. None of the major parties to the conflict — including the Assad regime, Russia, Iran, ISIS, and other groups — could be expected to recognize any safe area imposed by the United States. In fact, they would almost certainly be expected to violate the rules of the safe area...
3) Defending the safe zone would widen the war and make a political settlement less likely
To impose a safe zone in the absence of a diplomatic agreement, the United States would have to massively escalate its military intervention in Syria. This means Washington waging an all-out war against the Assad regime and its allies — including Russia and Iran.
Enforcing a safe zone implies an open-ended commitment to the use of military force in a designated safe area of Syria to stop air and ground attacks from the Assad regime, Russia, Iran, ISIS, and other extremist groups.
Secretary of State John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this year that it would take up to 30,000 US troops to maintain a safe zone in Syria.
If 30,000 US troops were deployed to northern Syria and attacks continued from Assad, Russia, Iran, or ISIS, it seems all the more likely that the US response at that point would simply be to send even more troops. Militarily imposing a safe zone, then, would ultimately be a colossal escalation, taking the US further down an already very slippery slope of military intervention...
'Safe Zones' and 'No-Fly Zones' in Syria were always a bad idea. Now they have become an oxymoron.
You dummy, we have been fighting over there for two years.
Where have our interventions got us in the ME? A million dead in Iraq under Bush. Four million turned into refugees there. We brought al Qaeda to Iraq. We've spent tens of billions in Afghanistan and it's worse there than before we went. We turned one of the most prosperous states in North Africa into the 'failed state' of Libya and in doing so created more refugees and terrorists. We are complicit in the civilian slaughter in Yemen. Hell, there would be a couple million more people alive and multiple millions not wandering around as refugees if the US had adopted a 'do nothing' policy.
…Although the NAM [non-aligned movement] continues to represent more than 50 per cent of the world’s population, it is decades since it was considered a body with either clout or relevance. And "non-interference" appeared to be overwhelmed by the tide of universalist triumphalism that swept the globe after the dismantling of the Eastern Bloc.
In more recent years, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2005 explicitly overrode the notion of absolute state sovereignty that underlies the principle of non-interference. And while R2P imposed strict conditions for approving outside intervention – only in cases of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity – it nevertheless fuelled the ardour of those liberal interventionists and neoconservatives who champed at the bit to impose their views on countries that did not share them, regardless of whether those states had, strictly speaking, contravened the four conditions or not.
After the chaos and devastation intervention has brought to countries in the Middle East, however – and how lightly David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy walked away from the collapse of Libya, as though they had smashed a plate and hoped no one would notice if they crept away quietly – R2P is increasingly discredited.
Non-interference, on the other hand, appears to be making a comeback. In fact, it never truly went away. It’s one of the principles of a number of other organisations, including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Southern African Development Community…
Obama's former doctor: Clinton should have neurological exam
By Lisa Hagen
President Obama’s former physician said that he believes Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton should have a neurological examination due to her history of brain injury.
During an interview on CNN, Dr. David Scheiner argued that Clinton’s note from her doctor isn’t enough. The letter details that Clinton had follow-up testing in 2013 that showed a full recovery from a concussion and that she tested negative for clotting disorders.
“I think she should have had a neurological examination, a thorough neurological examination in 2016,” Scheiner said Tuesday night. “We know what happens to football players who have had concussions, how they begin to lose some of their cognitive ability. I think both of them should release their records.”
Scheiner also critiqued Trump’s health, saying he believes the GOP nominee needs to release real medical records that include information like height and weight. He also panned Trump’s doctor''s note, which the doctor said was written in five minutes.
“I think you need real details, I think you need actual medical records,” he continued. “I’d like to know his height and weight. He looks a little bit overweight to me.”
This article argues cogently enough that we have no responsibility to protect, should embrace the chaos, and let them all kill one another, which is as I understand it the Quirkian View.
Setting up no fly zones/safe zones may be folly.
Embrace Chaos
What if Chaos Were Our Middle East Policy?
Chaos may be our best defense against the Caliphate.
This article argues cogently enough that we have no responsibility to protect, should embrace the chaos, and let them all kill one another, which is as I understand it the Quirkian View.
You moron, of course it's not the Quirkian view. You never cease to surprise with the level of your obtuseness.
This dolt argues that we've been spending an inordinate amount of time, effort, and money not to mention bombs and other ordinance trying to bring 'democracy' and 'Western culture' as well as hot dogs and apple pie to the ME and Africa and the ungrateful savages there have rejected everything we have done for them, in fact, they have handed us our asses.
So in his view the only possible alternative is to double down, launch even more aggression, fund more low intensity wars, support more militant groups, go balls out on the chaos.
My view is we've been spending an inordinate amount of time, effort, and money not to mention bombs and other ordinance trying to bring 'democracy' and 'Western culture' as well as hot dogs and apple pie to the ME and Africa and the people there have rejected it because they see the hypocrisy behind it. They see we support their exploitation by a bunch of dictators and monarchs because it forwards our perceived interests and those perceived interests certainly to not include their interests.
I see we have launched numerous wars of aggression by choice not because our critical interests were involved but because we wanted to and we could. I see that though we say we are doing it for 'humanitarian' reasons somehow we end up killing multiple times the amount of people we 'save'. I see that our efforts have devastated populations and turned countries into failed states, that the towns and cities we have 'saved' are now rotting hulks being reclaimed by the desert. And I see that despite employing the greatest military force the world has known on numerous occasions, being allied with nominally huuuugge coalitions, in some cases using armies of nearly 200,000 troops, our best and brightest, we have been fought to a standstill by a few tens of thousands of militants riding around in pickups and SUV's.
Unlike our learned friend from frontpagemag, my solution is not to double down on solutions that haven't worked, it is to quit digging the hole.
The chaos will continue in the ME. That doesn't mean we have to play a part in it. Do no harm.
ISIS (and the other terrorist dicks over there) do not pose an existential threat to the US. There are enough powerful players in the ME and Africa to stop them from forming any kind of caliphate. And they are not about to launch an invasion of the US. We have seen what they can do here, lone wolf and even coordinated attacks that can cause serious damage and loss of life but which do not threaten this nation. That is what we should be concentrating or efforts on. And of course, cracking down on their sources of funds and influence. That and continuing the Humint and Sigent efforts to locate their key leaders and take them out with informed and targeted mission. We do not need to be indiscriminately dropping bombs all over the desert or on wedding parties hoping we get someone important.
GOP Gets Higher Turnout Than Dems During Florida Primary
Kerry Picket
Reporter
11:16 PM 08/30/2016
Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton (Getty Images)
The Republican Party attracted more voters to the polls Tuesday night than Democrats during Florida’s primary.
With 99 percent of precincts called, Republicans attracted more than 1,429,000 voters to the polls for GOP candidates running for an open Senate seat, while Democrats attracted more than 1,127,000 voters to choose the party’s nominee for the Senate run.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio easily trounced his competition on the Republican side, garnering just over 70 percent of the GOP vote, while Florida Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy won his primary with almost 60 percent of Democratic support.
Florida is seen as a key state in the general election and both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are fighting to win favor of voters from the sunshine state.
Quirk's a dick and a moron. He called me a warmonger for wanting to protect the Syrians even though they are moslems and don't deserve it. Trump will keep them out! I hate Hillary. Go Trump!!!
The Republican presidential candidate made a last-minute trip Wednesday to Mexico in his first visit after becoming the nominee to meet with a world leader -- one who has publicly insulted him and criticized his immigration and border policies. Peña Nieto began his remarks in Mexico City alongside Trump by saying the two held a constructive exchange of views even though "we might not agree on everything." He then launched into a detailed explication of US-Mexican trade and the benefit to both countries delivered by the North American Free Trade Agreement -- a common punching bag for Trump on the campaign trail. Trump, who listened to his host's long remarks with a somber look on his face while a woman stood beside him at the podium translating for him, said that Mexicans were "spectacular" people when it was his turn to talk.
Trump spoke respectfully and as if he was already president.
Trump’s speech was substantial but Nieto scrambled a bit realizing that Trump was speaking as if he were in office and Nieto went out of his way to say he invited Clinton as well.
I give Trump an “A” for his political audacity, a “B+” for delivery and an “A+” for holding to his convictions and not doing the usual political weasel.
Hillary is making an election losing mistake in backing sanctuary cities, advocating open borders, and even mocking those who wish to enforce current immigration law.
Do you label yourself a member of the LGBTQ population?
Some people like cake, some people like ice cream. I like cake and ice cream.
Are you a Taoist, Catholic or what?
I am a student of daojia, or philosophical Taoism. Religion doesn't come into it.
Do you support the Iran deal that Hillary and Obama accomplished?
I support the deal, because jaw jaw is always preferable to war war.
Do you support Israel's right to Jerusalem?
Jerusalem was to be administered by a multi-party entity. Israel conquered Jerusalem in the 1967 War. I do not recognize Israel's "right" to J-lem, but accept it as fait accompli.
Do you support an independent Palestine with the right to Iranian support and confederation?
I support an independent Palestinian state, should they choose to build one. If that state attacks Israel, I will support Israel's right to defend itself.
Do you support an Independent Kurdish state?
I welcome the day when we recognize Kurdistan as an independent state, especially in light of Erdogan's recent moves.
Do you approve of Obama's ACA (obamacare)
It doesn't go far enough. I support the model of the health co-op that I belong to (a kind of Credit Union, but for medicine) as the national system, where doctors and patients are co-owners, and not answerable to stockholders.
Do you support the integration of all military members ( and private contractors) to be part of the Obamacare market place/ (governmental subsidies for those within the military of course) and the elimination of the VA hospital system?
The VA system is killing people. See the above answer with respect to my HMO (Group Health).
Do you support school choice (i.e. vouchers) or are you a Obama/hillary supporter of the current educational system?
I will not subsidize schools that teach that evolution is a myth, genetically modified food is poison, and vaccines are unsafe.
Deporting 11 million immigrants would cost around $400 to $600 billion and harm the economy by reducing national output by another $600 billion. That's on top of the cost of building the damn wall, since the Mexican President said he won't pay for the fucking thing.
Dude went to Mexico and had a photo op with an unpopular president then lied about what they talked about before flying to Arizona and giving a speech that would have Leni Riefenstahl creaming her jeans.

DeleteState finds 30 deleted Clinton emails on Benghazi
ReplyDeleteBy Sarah Westwood (@sarahcwestwood) • 8/30/16 12:58 PM
State Department attorneys said Tuesday the agency had discovered 30 Benghazi-related emails among the records recovered from Hillary Clinton's private server.
A judge asked the agency to hasten its review of the documents in preparation for release to Judicial Watch, the conservative-leaning group that filed the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
The emails were included among the roughly 15,000 emails FBI agents said they pulled from Clinton's server in the course of a year-long probe.
Others were deleted beyond recovery after the Democratic nominee's team used a digital tool called BleachBit to scrub the hardware that was eventually confiscated by law enforcement agents.

ReplyDeleteA "safe zone" in Syria sounds like a great idea. In reality, it would be a disaster.
The goal of a “safe zone” is a laudable one: to protect civilians from attacks in a designated area. But despite its misleadingly simplistic name, establishing a “safe zone” in Syria would put civilians in even greater danger and risk prolonging Syria’s bloody nightmare.
Here, then, are the three main reasons so many humanitarian organizations, human rights advocates, and other experts in civilian protection warn that Washington and its allies militarily imposing a safe zone in Syria would harm, not help, civilians:
1) A safe zone would concentrate vulnerable people in one place, making them a perfect target
When one combs through interviews from United Nations officials, humanitarian aid workers, human rights advocates, and Syrian refugees regarding their concerns about a safe zone in Syria, one word will continually resurface: Srebrenica...
2) A safe zone would need consent from the warring parties to really be safe
Like the “safe areas” in the Bosnian war, a safe zone in today’s Syria would not have consent from all of the major warring parties. None of the major parties to the conflict — including the Assad regime, Russia, Iran, ISIS, and other groups — could be expected to recognize any safe area imposed by the United States. In fact, they would almost certainly be expected to violate the rules of the safe area...
3) Defending the safe zone would widen the war and make a political settlement less likely
To impose a safe zone in the absence of a diplomatic agreement, the United States would have to massively escalate its military intervention in Syria. This means Washington waging an all-out war against the Assad regime and its allies — including Russia and Iran.
Enforcing a safe zone implies an open-ended commitment to the use of military force in a designated safe area of Syria to stop air and ground attacks from the Assad regime, Russia, Iran, ISIS, and other extremist groups.
Secretary of State John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this year that it would take up to 30,000 US troops to maintain a safe zone in Syria.
If 30,000 US troops were deployed to northern Syria and attacks continued from Assad, Russia, Iran, or ISIS, it seems all the more likely that the US response at that point would simply be to send even more troops. Militarily imposing a safe zone, then, would ultimately be a colossal escalation, taking the US further down an already very slippery slope of military intervention...
'Safe Zones' and 'No-Fly Zones' in Syria were always a bad idea. Now they have become an oxymoron.
.
Your 'do nothing' policy is a proven winner.
Delete500,000 dead later....
.
DeleteGive me a break.
Do nothing?
You dummy, we have been fighting over there for two years.
Where have our interventions got us in the ME? A million dead in Iraq under Bush. Four million turned into refugees there. We brought al Qaeda to Iraq. We've spent tens of billions in Afghanistan and it's worse there than before we went. We turned one of the most prosperous states in North Africa into the 'failed state' of Libya and in doing so created more refugees and terrorists. We are complicit in the civilian slaughter in Yemen. Hell, there would be a couple million more people alive and multiple millions not wandering around as refugees if the US had adopted a 'do nothing' policy.

ReplyDeleteNon-interference vs Responsibility to Protect?
…Although the NAM [non-aligned movement] continues to represent more than 50 per cent of the world’s population, it is decades since it was considered a body with either clout or relevance. And "non-interference" appeared to be overwhelmed by the tide of universalist triumphalism that swept the globe after the dismantling of the Eastern Bloc.
In more recent years, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2005 explicitly overrode the notion of absolute state sovereignty that underlies the principle of non-interference. And while R2P imposed strict conditions for approving outside intervention – only in cases of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity – it nevertheless fuelled the ardour of those liberal interventionists and neoconservatives who champed at the bit to impose their views on countries that did not share them, regardless of whether those states had, strictly speaking, contravened the four conditions or not.
After the chaos and devastation intervention has brought to countries in the Middle East, however – and how lightly David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy walked away from the collapse of Libya, as though they had smashed a plate and hoped no one would notice if they crept away quietly – R2P is increasingly discredited.
Non-interference, on the other hand, appears to be making a comeback. In fact, it never truly went away. It’s one of the principles of a number of other organisations, including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Southern African Development Community…

ReplyDeleteObama's former doctor: Clinton should have neurological exam
By Lisa Hagen
President Obama’s former physician said that he believes Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton should have a neurological examination due to her history of brain injury.
During an interview on CNN, Dr. David Scheiner argued that Clinton’s note from her doctor isn’t enough. The letter details that Clinton had follow-up testing in 2013 that showed a full recovery from a concussion and that she tested negative for clotting disorders.
“I think she should have had a neurological examination, a thorough neurological examination in 2016,” Scheiner said Tuesday night. “We know what happens to football players who have had concussions, how they begin to lose some of their cognitive ability. I think both of them should release their records.”
Scheiner also critiqued Trump’s health, saying he believes the GOP nominee needs to release real medical records that include information like height and weight. He also panned Trump’s doctor''s note, which the doctor said was written in five minutes.
“I think you need real details, I think you need actual medical records,” he continued. “I’d like to know his height and weight. He looks a little bit overweight to me.”

DeleteThis article argues cogently enough that we have no responsibility to protect, should embrace the chaos, and let them all kill one another, which is as I understand it the Quirkian View.
You moron, of course it's not the Quirkian view. You never cease to surprise with the level of your obtuseness.
This dolt argues that we've been spending an inordinate amount of time, effort, and money not to mention bombs and other ordinance trying to bring 'democracy' and 'Western culture' as well as hot dogs and apple pie to the ME and Africa and the ungrateful savages there have rejected everything we have done for them, in fact, they have handed us our asses.
So in his view the only possible alternative is to double down, launch even more aggression, fund more low intensity wars, support more militant groups, go balls out on the chaos.
My view is we've been spending an inordinate amount of time, effort, and money not to mention bombs and other ordinance trying to bring 'democracy' and 'Western culture' as well as hot dogs and apple pie to the ME and Africa and the people there have rejected it because they see the hypocrisy behind it. They see we support their exploitation by a bunch of dictators and monarchs because it forwards our perceived interests and those perceived interests certainly to not include their interests.
I see we have launched numerous wars of aggression by choice not because our critical interests were involved but because we wanted to and we could. I see that though we say we are doing it for 'humanitarian' reasons somehow we end up killing multiple times the amount of people we 'save'. I see that our efforts have devastated populations and turned countries into failed states, that the towns and cities we have 'saved' are now rotting hulks being reclaimed by the desert. And I see that despite employing the greatest military force the world has known on numerous occasions, being allied with nominally huuuugge coalitions, in some cases using armies of nearly 200,000 troops, our best and brightest, we have been fought to a standstill by a few tens of thousands of militants riding around in pickups and SUV's.
Unlike our learned friend from frontpagemag, my solution is not to double down on solutions that haven't worked, it is to quit digging the hole.
The chaos will continue in the ME. That doesn't mean we have to play a part in it. Do no harm.
ISIS (and the other terrorist dicks over there) do not pose an existential threat to the US. There are enough powerful players in the ME and Africa to stop them from forming any kind of caliphate. And they are not about to launch an invasion of the US. We have seen what they can do here, lone wolf and even coordinated attacks that can cause serious damage and loss of life but which do not threaten this nation. That is what we should be concentrating or efforts on. And of course, cracking down on their sources of funds and influence. That and continuing the Humint and Sigent efforts to locate their key leaders and take them out with informed and targeted mission. We do not need to be indiscriminately dropping bombs all over the desert or on wedding parties hoping we get someone important.

ReplyDeleteGOP Gets Higher Turnout Than Dems During Florida Primary
Kerry Picket
Reporter

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton (Getty Images)
The Republican Party attracted more voters to the polls Tuesday night than Democrats during Florida’s primary.
With 99 percent of precincts called, Republicans attracted more than 1,429,000 voters to the polls for GOP candidates running for an open Senate seat, while Democrats attracted more than 1,127,000 voters to choose the party’s nominee for the Senate run.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio easily trounced his competition on the Republican side, garnering just over 70 percent of the GOP vote, while Florida Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy won his primary with almost 60 percent of Democratic support.
Florida is seen as a key state in the general election and both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are fighting to win favor of voters from the sunshine state.

ReplyDeleteThe Republican presidential candidate made a last-minute trip Wednesday to Mexico in his first visit after becoming the nominee to meet with a world leader -- one who has publicly insulted him and criticized his immigration and border policies.
Peña Nieto began his remarks in Mexico City alongside Trump by saying the two held a constructive exchange of views even though "we might not agree on everything." He then launched into a detailed explication of US-Mexican trade and the benefit to both countries delivered by the North American Free Trade Agreement -- a common punching bag for Trump on the campaign trail.
Trump, who listened to his host's long remarks with a somber look on his face while a woman stood beside him at the podium translating for him, said that Mexicans were "spectacular" people when it was his turn to talk.
