I cannot confirm the numbers, but they sound right…and plausible. If you can confirm or disprove them, please do so in comments . I’d be interested.
Yeah, I know, believing this makes me a racist. Don’t care about being called that anymore….That card’ has been played so many times it is worn out.

I DO know that if the press had tried even 20% as hard to find shit on Barry the O over the last 8.5 years, they’d have found a lot. But they didn’t look, so they didn’t. (See also the whole “Birther” thing, and many other items that COULD have been scandals…..)
Or if they had tried even 10% as hard to find shit on Hillary the Pantsuit…we KNOW there was trash to be taken out there, but the press couldn’t honestly bother to look for it, nor to honestly report it if they did find it.
It isn’t the hard look they are giving Trump that bothers me….it is that they refused to give a similar hard look at Barry and Hillary and their actions that bothers me.
And that, my friends, is why the Press isn’t an honest profession anymore. Once, they kept everyone honest. Now, they give us propaganda.
And I know that the “Special Counsel” Robert Mueller, is a joke, wasting tens of thousands of tax dollars per day….He hasn’t done more than hire a bunch of his friends and other “approved” people…..He hasn’t yet secured the Server that the DNC is using as it’s main argument that “the Russians” “Meddled” in our elections….Why hasn’t such a crucial piece of evidence been secured? It is, after all, evidence in a Federeal Investigation, so the DNC no longer gets a say……And the press is letting him get away with it.
Perhaps those who say that it is not only the DNC folks, but the “Deep State” establishment that is gunning for Trump. I dunno, but I don’t like what I smell here.
Stopped for not signalling? OK, maybe bullshit, but still within the rules.
Everything else was polite and professional.
I wish half my traffic stops had been as nice and polite (to be fair, a great number of them were) and professional.
A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”
~~~~~~~~
The peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.
Climate scientists often apply adjustments to surface temperature thermometers to account for “biases” in the data. The new study doesn’t the adjustments themselves but notes nearly all of them increase the warming trend.
Odd, innit? I mean, there were ZERO adjustments down in temperature….One might think that they were trying to increase the recorded temps or something……Perhaps to “Hide the Decline”….?

The first piece of evidence in the chain of (vague) accusations that Mr. Mueller is spending inordinate amounts of taxpayer funds “investigating” and all….
Yeah, that server has never been forensically examined by the FBI….Nor any government agency. Nor is it being held in any secure state for evidence….nope. It isn’t secure at all.
The only entity that claims to have examined the server is one employed by the DNC.
Why is that the case? Why hasn’t the FBI done any examinations? Or at least secured the device in order to secure evidence that may be on it?
Either the FBI is a political hack and a joke as an investigative agency, (and Mr. Mueller is, apparently as bad, since he hasn’t bothered to do anything about this key piece of evidence either….), or they are simply outrageously inept……on the level of ineptness that the BATF folks have exhibited.
Or, as many have said, the “Russian” meme is simply that, a meme, a lie, a made up story, and the “investigation” is merely a witch hunt.
Pick one, you can’t have it both ways.
I mean, yes, I am sure that somewhere I missed that (already) checked box that said “please, send me 42 emails about your product THIS WEEK, even though I am doing business with you for the first time (and now the last).
Yes, I wanted those 42 emails, even though I got along fine without them last week….And I am SURE that I selected that box, not that it was prechecked to turn on the flood of endless emails…
And yes, it is because of that that I will shop your competitors next time. They might not be any better at screwing with me by blowing up my inbox without my permission….But I bet one of them won’t take 4 pages to unsubscribe from their emails either.
Yeah, you probably know the name. A young male child, not yet a year old. One who has a likely incurable genetic disease. A child in the care of the State….Socialized Medicine.
A child who has been handed a death sentence by that same State. The State will no longer pay for his medical care.
On the one hand, this is likely a good decision. Under State care, Charlie will never get better. They have no way to heal him, no way to improve his condition. Likely no one does. The State has chosen not to spend more money trying to save a child they know they cannot save.
That isn’t the point.
The point is that the parents haven’t given up, and have raised through donations enough money to take their child elsewhere to try other possible treatments. And, if they can do so without cost to the State, they have the right to do so.
Failing that, the parents want their child to die at home, not in a hospital. They have been denied that measure of control as well. The State Knows Better.
However, the State has decided that they cannot do that. That they cannot have their child back, that the parents do not have control over the fate of their child. That the State has chosen Charlie’s fate, and the State, with people who (supposedly) know better and who have no interest other than financial can make the decision for the child. They wouldn’t allow any transport to other countries for possible experimental treatment that might (maybe, but probably not) save this child. They cannot allow anyone to know that their medical science is inferior to any others, and they must maintain that the STATE is all powerful and has ultimate control over the fate of a child once entrusted to their care.
Their decision is likely the logical one. Desperate measure seldom succeed. But there is no cost to the State for the attempt to save young Charlie Gard’s life. no risk for the State, no cost, nothing. Nothing but loss of prestige, and loss of control.
Thus they condemn a dying child to the trash heap.
This only works in a place where the People are disarmed, however. They can do this because the People have no recourse….no way to oppose the State.
If ever there was a reason to oppose Big Government, this is one.
