COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

TIME MACHINE: 1999 - Donald Trump on How Senator Bill Bradley Wrecked US Wealth and Real Estate Values




Bill Bradley's Big, Bad Ideas


By Donald J. Trump, author of "Trump: The Art of the Comeback" (Times Books, 1997).
A l Gore has good reason to look over his shoulder. A recent Time/CNN poll shows that former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley has recently shaved 14 percentage points from Mr. Gore's once-commanding lead. That's not a good sign for an incumbent vice president 10 months before the first primary.
To date, the polls reflect Mr. Gore's weakness as a candidate, fueled by the perception that he is the quintessential Washington insider. By contrast, Mr. Bradley, who left government only three years ago after spending 18 years in the Senate, plans to supercharge his campaign by making an appeal as an outsider, one who is unafraid to tackle special interests and, above all, put forward "big ideas." There will be no pomp, no rope lines, no motorcades. Just straight talk and "big ideas."
It's a clever strategy. But it's also deeply unsettling, as Mr. Bradley's last big idea to be enacted into legislation was also one of the worst ideas in recent history.
That idea was an offense against the working man in the form of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The good parts of that legislation—it cut tax rates in half—can be attributed to Ronald Reagan. The rest must largely be attributed to Mr. Bradley, who went on to vote for major tax hikes not once but twice in the decade that followed the enactment of the act.
Among other follies, Mr. Bradley advocated the elimination of a tax shelter for real estate investments known as the "passive loss" deduction. Now, it is one thing to want to phase out tax shelters. It is quite another to do it overnight.
Businesses make billion-dollar decisions based on the tax code. When sweeping changes are abruptly enacted, as they were by Mr. Bradley, it puts those businesses in a bad spot. It's like being an unbelted passenger in a racecar in which the driver has stomped on the brakes with both feet at 150 miles an hour.
Mr. Bradley's big idea sent the real-estate markets through the windshield. People who were banking their retirement on a condominium or a house saw their dreams destroyed. It was a hard time for developers like me. Many of my competitors, as well as the contractors, builders and workers who depended on them, went under.
Even worse hit were the small savings-and-loans and banks, which had been encouraged by the tax codes to invest in real estate. With the elimination of the deduction, they suddenly found themselves saddled with unproductive assets. As a result, taxpayers were hit with a $130 billion tab, a bill almost the size of the entire Medicare budget.
And that was not all. In his zeal to destroy tax shelters, Mr. Bradley also set his sights on deductions for contributions to individual retirement accounts, eliminating deductions for those whose family income exceeded $50,000 or who were covered by an employee pension plan. The consequences were predictably disastrous. "Half of the decrease in personal savings is directly attributable to the curtailment of the IRA," William Henkel of Merrill Lynch & Co. told Bloomberg Business News in 1996. "The tax bill was an error," another financial planner added. "Now, a whole legion of retirees are marching to age 65 without a safety net."
The reform act did not even keep our taxes down. Over the past 13 years, the number of brackets—reduced to two from 15 in the original act--have crept back up, and the loopholes have proliferated. Worst of all, the tax bill precipitated the 1990-91 recession that culminated in the mass layoffs and firings that Mr. Bradley regularly deplores.
These days, Mr. Bradley spends a lot of time writing and speaking about his years as a basketball great. And no wonder. For in the years he spent in Congress he racked up a legislative record that is as embarrassing as his athletic record is impressive. It's not something he'd want the voters to dwell on.

    Now on to something that might save your life -


    Here’s how likely you are to crash into a deer based on where you live


    By Karin Brulliard October 4 at 8:00 AM

    A buck leaps across Mill Road in East Aurora, N.Y. (Robert Kirkham/Buffalo News via AP)

    Deer, with their big eyes and fluffy white tails, may look innocent enough. But they kill more Americans than any other animal.

    Not that they mean to. These deaths occur when cars driven by people crash into deer that are crossing roads. And they’re especially likely to happen during the next three months, when deer are friskily roaming around in search of mates to make fawns with.

    [The surprising reason mountain lions’ killer instincts could save human lives]

    Each year, deer in the United States are involved in more than more than 1 million collisions that cause more than 200 human deaths. They also cost a lot of money, according to State Farm, the country’s top auto insurer, which says the average claim hovers around $4,000.

    The company, in its annual effort to urge people not to smash into deer, recently used its claim data to come up with rankings for where such a collision is likely to happen. The most perilous state is West Virginia, whose drivers have a 1 in 41 chance of hitting a deer. Californians can breathe easier — their chances are 1 in 1,064. Here’s a map with the findings:

    MAP

    So what should you do to stay on the safe side of those probabilities? Definitely the basics: Buckle up, keep your eyes on the road and not your phone, pay attention to deer-crossing signs. High beams can help (but, please, don’t blind oncoming drivers). And if a deer darts in front of you, don’t swerve — that can cause you to run into a tree or another car.

    “Hit the damn deer,” a Wisconsin auto body shop owner who does lots of business in deer-damaged cars told Slate last year. “If you have time to stop, then stop. But don’t swerve and risk your neck over a deer — or worse yet, over a dog or a squirrel. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen.”

    You could also hope for the continued spread of cougars in the United States. As we wrote recently, researchers have determined that if the big cats repopulated the eastern United States, they could kill and feast upon enough deer to prevent about five deer-vehicle collision fatalities in the region each year.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/10/04/heres-how-likely-you-are-to-crash-into-a-deer-based-on-where-you-live/


    The very worst road I've ever been on for deer risk is US Highway 12 from Lewiston, Idaho to Missoula, Montana.

    Watch out, particularly at dawn, dusk, and night !!!!

    It follows the rivers most of the way, both over the mountains and down the other side.

    They invariably come down from those beautiful wooded hills to drink from the rivers.....

    Hey, Timmie, you really showed us deplorables...
    By Russ Vaughn

    ...what a rude jerk you are.

    If the best casting director in Hollywood went in search of the perfect actor to play a typical know-it-all, smug, smarmy liberal to represent the Democratic Party on the vice presidential debate stage Tuesday night, he could not possibly have made a better selection than Tim Kaine.  

    This was my first opportunity to see this potential president-in-waiting in action, and all I can say is that this sneering motor-mouth, who immediately began a pattern of repetitive and, I believe, intentional interruptions of his opponent and continued it as long as the moderator would let him get away with it, was woefully less than impressive.

    Kaine was a squeaky-voiced, unctuous reminder of far too many of the self-righteous liberals I've had to contend with in my long life.  You know the type: rolling the eyes, shaking the head to deliver their not so subliminal message that we're just so totally smarter than you are that you can't possibly understand what we're saying.  We've all seen it, in the past mostly within our own families, but in the last few years it has become the standard form of public liberal discourse.  

    There is only one side, and that is theirs.  They know it all, and if you disagree, you are a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal, and they're entitled to smirk snottily about it.

    That is exactly the role Tim Kaine played on his opening night on the world stage, and I must say he did it flawlessly.  Not everyone can play such an irritating jerk so convincingly, depicting to perfection the arrested adolescence that is the defining characteristic of liberalism, and do it so well before such a huge audience.

    I guess congratulations are in order: hey, Timmie, you really showed us deplorables, kid!

    1. The planned migrant house has caused serious tensions in the town before, leading to meetings about the issue to be closed due to bomb threats.

      In response, the local voter’s association issued a statement last month, arguing that the village was the perfect place to house migrants.

      “Oersdorf is being talked about, and not in a good sense… There is a great effort to intimidate, seemingly because the committee wants to make a decision about housing for asylum seekers,” the association stated.

      Adding: “If we could offer a new home in our village for a refugee family, we would gladly seize the opportunity, and in doing so could as a community provide people who had to flee their homeland with new prospects.

      “And where would be a better place than in the heart of our village where people live so well with one another?”

  29. CNN anchor Jake Tapper acknowledged Wednesday that there's a big discrepancy in the way the press covers Donald Trump's adult children compared to how they treat Hillary Clinton's only daughter, Chelsea.

    It's an idea that's been said before, but Tapper drew new attention to it on Wednesday.

    "It's true," Tapper said on Twitter in response to a colleague who said that Chelsea is never "grilled" the way Trump's adult children have been.

    Tapper noted that Chelsea doesn't do as many media interviews as the Trump children, but said "there's no reason to treat one adult child of a nominee with kid gloves while others get tough questions."

    Media critic Jack Shafer made a similar point about Clinton's treatment by the press in February.

    "The press covers her, of course, attempting to ask her substantive questions, but mostly she exists to grace the covers of magazines — Fast Company and Elle most recently — and be treated to lighter-than-air puff pieces," he wrote.

    Trump's children, by contrast, are often asked in their own interviews to answer for their father's controversial remarks and to any criticism his campaign may be facing that day.

    In early September, Trump's daughter Ivanka was asked to answer charges that her father is a sexist, but some have noted that Chelsea Clinton is not being asked about her father's attitudes toward women.

    Also in September, Donald Trump Jr. was asked to answer for his father's tax history, but Chelsea has escaped similar questions.

  35. Here, though, is the most inconvenient fact of all. The rise of actual bigotry in Europe is being exacerbated by two EU policies: the euro, which has caused needless poverty and unemployment, especially among southern European nations who have found themselves growing ever closer to the breadline; and the Schengen agreement on open borders, which has left countries unable to regulate migratory flows.

    This has meant that the hundreds of thousands arriving in Europe from Africa and the Middle East have to a large degree been able to travel northwards and westwards unhindered.
    So, far from soothing national antagonisms, it is Brussels that is stoking them. When we leave, we shall be a more global, more outward-looking and, yes, more tolerant country.

  38. The Department of Justice moved to drop charges against arms dealer Marc Turi because federal prosecutors are convinced his defense would expose then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s secret arms running to the radical al-Qaida-affiliated militia in Libya in 2011, contended Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano in an interview with WND.

    ...

    Kristi Clemens Rogers, the wife of then-House intel chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., was an intermediary on the ground who received the weapons and transferred them to militias in Libya opposing Gadhafi, Napolitano said.

    ...

    WND first reported in June 2015 Napolitano’s concerns that Turi was being set up for prosecution to continue a cover-up of the secret war on Libya the U.S. decided to wage despite well-documented offers by Gadhafi to abdicate peacefully.

  41. U.S. and allied officials say the final training for Iraqi forces will be done by the middle of the month, clearing the way for the long-anticipated campaign to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city and a key stronghold of Islamic State.

    ...

    The end of mission training for Iraqi forces heading into Mosul is the latest indicator the highly anticipated operation is imminent. The White House in September approved an additional 615-troop deployment into Iraq to support the Mosul operation.

    ...

    Separately, The Associated Press reported that a tribal leader said Wednesday that an airstrike killed 19 pro-government tribal Sunni fighters south of the town of Mosul, which is held by the Islamic State group.

      Modafinal

      Modafinil (INN,[6] USAN, BAN, JAN) is a wakefulness-promoting agent (or eugeroic) used for treatment of disorders such as narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea.[7] It has also seen widespread off-label use as a purported cognition-enhancing agent. In English-speaking countries it is sold under the brand names Alertec, Modavigil, and ((((Provigil)))). In the United States modafinil is classified as a schedule IV controlled substance and restricted in availability and usage, due to concerns about possible addiction potential. In most other countries it is a prescription drug but not otherwise legally restricted.

  47. "Q"Nit of the Day: Islamic Child Sex Trafficking In USA

    President of ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America) Arrested for CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING

    By Pamela Geller on October 5, 2016

    Islamic law in America - Sex Slavery in Islam - Women and children in Islam

    If you recall, the Florida youth leader of the terror-linked CAIR was arrested  for child sex crimes. Now another major Muslim terror-tied group — ICNA. And while widely lauded in the press, this particular ICNA story garnered no American press. Shane Yoder was heavily involved in dawah (proselytizing for Islam) with the ICNA, and often appeared in the media.  Yoder attempted to engage in sexual criminal activity with a 9-year-old girl — the same age as Muhammad’s favorite wife Aisha when he had sex with her. Yoder agreed to pay for sex with multiple girls 8 to 12 years of age. Yoder also boasted of having sexually abused a 2-year-old girl in the past.

    Child sex trafficking, and the sharia-complaint American media doesn’t even report on it. The Daily Mail, UK is the only media outlet to report the story.

    There are thousands of Muslim sex trafficking gangs of infidel little girls in the UK. This is systemic in the Muslim world.

    ICNA is an Islamic organization that has been probed by the FBI for ties to terrorism.

    Daily Mail: SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Federal authorities in Puerto Rico have arrested a California man who allegedly traveled to Puerto Rico to have sex with a minor.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Wednesday that 38-year-old Shane Yoder of Fairfield told an undercover agent he was going to the U.S. territory to have sex with a 9-year-old girl. He has been charged with attempted sexual trafficking of minors. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

    Yoder was the president of the Islamic Circle of North America chapter in Sacramento, California.

  54. "On Thursday – as pressure mounted for the international community to do something to ease the al-Assad regime’s devastating siege of eastern Aleppo – Russian President Vladimir Putin drew his own red line: Russia’s military warned that any U.S. air strikes in the country would be considered a threat to the Russian servicemen based there, and that sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons would be used in response.

    In other words, the Kremlin owns Syria’s airspace and won’t let U.S. and allied planes stray from their United Nations-approved mission of targeting the so-called Islamic State. It’s a threat backed by S-300 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems deployed around Russia’s military base in the northwest of the country, as well as Russian warplanes that control Syria’s airspace, carrying out daily sorties in support of President Bashar al-Assad’s army."

      It's my opinion that the recent plague of clown sightings can be attributed to the clown archetypes embodied in Trump and Clinton.

  55. Obama Shifts Blame From Assad To Global Warming As The Cause Of The Syrian Civil War

    President Barack Obama said global warming “contributed” to the Syrian civil war, shifting at least some of the blame for the deadly conflict from the repressive Assad regime to people driving gas-guzzling SUVs.

    “There’s already some really interesting work — not definitive, but powerful — showing that the droughts that happened in Syria contributed to the unrest and the Syrian civil war,” Obama said during the South By South Lawn event at the White House Monday.

      Just think of all those injurious greenhouse gasses.
