Well I hope everyone had a happy Halloween last night. It rained here for the second year in a row, but at least we got some candy-begging in. And the nice part was: without a ton of kids out there, the people handing candy out were extra-generous. So we got a good haul in without having to walk much more than a mile or so. Speaking of tricks, there was one single game on the ice last night, as Chicago fell to Vancouver 4-2. That’s it…one single freaking game the whole day. Way to go Bettman. No real other games of note, so in to the birthdays.
What has 9 arms and sucks?
Novelist Stephen Crane was born on this day. So were: sportswriter Grantland Rice, golf great and ambassador of being a happy person Gary Player, alleged evildoer Charles Koch, smut-peddler Larry Flynt, musician Kinky Friedman, rocker Rick Greech, Hello Kitty creator Yuko Shimizu, rocker Dan Peek, singer Lyle Lovett, businessman Tim Cook, pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, rocker Anthony Kiedis, drummer Rick Allen, legendary goon Tie Domi, and baseball player Coco Crisp.
Its also the day Michelangelo’s works on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel were unveiled to the public, Shakespeare presented “Othello”, so was “The Tempest”, John Adams moved into the White House, Nicholas II became Tsar of Russia, Ataturk took Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire ended, Dupont introduced synthetic rubber to the world, the first issue of “EBony” hit newsstands, Fulgencio Batista was elected president of Cuba, Jacques Plante became the first NHL goaltender to wear a mask, “Cool Hand Luke” hit the big screen, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” hit the stage, “Titanic” opened, and the Houston Astros won the World Series last year.
OK, on to…the links!
Lemon and his intellectual equal…this is CNN.
Don Lemon continues to insist that white men are “the biggest terror threat in this country”. And that terror threat, whether he’s right or wrong, is so minuscule as to be statistically irrelevant. Also, he’s a divisive asshole.
Trump surprises everyone, including the Pentagon, when he announces that troop levels at the southern border could reach 15,000. This is certainly a debate with some merit: is this a good move, is it a legal move and will it do any good?
Sorry, everyone. But the show’s dead.
I guess all those smug douchebag progressives who were going to happily tune in to see “The Conners” after Roseanne was unceremoniously removed from her show decided they had something better to do when the second episode rolled around. ABC has ordered just one more episode…probably to put a bullet in the show’s head.
A San Fran cop and paramedic were fired (well, one retired) for assaulting a patient that had been restrained in an ambulance. And charges were actually filed, which is a miracle.
What is it with businesses in big cities and their desire to be lorded over by the state? Oh yeah, this is about creating barriers to entry. Silly me for thinking there was any other motive.
Reid raising the esteem of the Senate
Trump channeled “Dingy Harry” in speech about ending birthright citizenship. And Reid fired back in his customary manner.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This all happened a couple miles from my house. Thankfully they didn’t lock down the entire area.
Tough choice on music today. Since I played the Red Hot Chili Peppers so recently, I’m going in a different direction today with this song. And this one, which is part of a great debate. OK, I couldn’t completely resist.
Go have a great day, friends.
We handed out 53 full-sized candy bars; mostly to kids from the neighborhood. After I ran out of back up candy, I tore down the front display and shut off the lights.
Wow.
Banjos’s brother in law put out a big bowl of candy on the honor system so he could get his daughter ready. He spotted two kids taking it all and literally chased them down and berated them.
Awesome.
Taking the bowl is over the line.
Tell him to fill a bowl with mayonnaise and put two layers of candy on top with a sign that says “Please take one.” He’ll have to hide in the bushes and keep topping it off, but it’ll provide a valuable life lesson to anyone that puts their hand in to try to take more.
Or who dumps the whole bowl in their bag.
It would have been 54 but I ate one of the Reese’s peanut butter cups . . . quality control, you know?
I’ve learned from this country that anything done “for the children” is above reproach, so you should be applauded for your sacrifice.
I handed out Almond Joys and told the kids they were Mounds. “But these have nuts.” STFU, kid. Those are the Caitlyn anniversary editions.
HA HA HA!
Will you be here all week?
I wish I had trick or treaters. I buy candy for them every year, but not enough kids who partake in the festivities. Aw well, time for me to mow down two bags of chocolate mushrooms and pumpkin kitkats.
Aw well, time for me to mow down two bags of chocolate mushrooms
I hope you don’t have to be productive after all that shroomin.
I hope so too, my man.
My vending machine made me some $20!
Our cul-de-sac did the second-annual micro block party (I made awesome deviled eggs) and we had a new record for trick-or-treaters – 5.
Last night there were six different houses that put their portable fire pits in their driveway and had a few drinks around the fire while handing out candy. This is the first year I have ever seen anyone do that. I’m trying to figure out what drama is going on in the neighborhood that caused the catty women to throw six of these parties so they could not invite their enemies.
My next door neighbor had one and I felt sorry for the husband. He’s not a bad guy, but his wife is friends with a few of the more obnoxious neighborhood gals and there was no way I was going over for a quick bump with him. He had to put up with them on his own.
Shoulda got one ‘Carry Out to Go” and left
Did you piss on the fire bowl to put it out? That would have been great.
It rained at the usual start time, so when the kids came around, I kept telling them to take more from the bowl I was offering than they originally intended.
Turned off the lights when looked like it was about over, with three small candy bars left (not counting the Almond Joys I’d stashed).
I’m surprised Lemon invited that Whitey McHonkeyface llama on the show.
I went to the bar. Did not see a single costume. Weather- a combination of snow / freezing rain, just like every year.
I had a bunch of asshats wearing costumes at work yesterday. Got in trouble for berating them. Maybe I should not have told the land whale trying to pretend she was a sexy witch that it was not working…
Remindes me of this joke:
A clerk is attending his register when two women with an accent approach. “Are you ladies visiting from England?” He asks. “Wales!” One of them replies beligerantly. “Oh excuse me, are you two whales visiting from England”
Pics?
You trying to get material to help you diet? Cause the general effect this view had was to make people queasy and not able to eat for hours.
Damn, you must have some serious job security.
I do admit that I have an extensive skillset in some highly valuable and highly sought IT capabilities plus an unique ability to quickly solve problems and do so well that has made me bullet proof at my current job. Makes for some real funny compensation meetings when they tell me the were thinking of docking my pay for the crazy shit I do but were worried I would just leave.
“Witch way to the beach”?
HA!
“Reinforced broomstick”
Your blow hole looks a lot like a front hole.
We had a Halloween costume party at work yesterday. Only a handful of people wore costumes. Most people just showed up for free food.
I went to a bar too. A few folks showed up in costume. I saw some folks walk past the bar in costume and among that group was a hot twenty-something in a Poison Ivy costume.
>>“Cool Hand Luke” hit the big screen
ooh that Lucille
One of the best lines from any movie
“Oh Lord whatever I done, don’t strike me blind for a couple of minutes…”
“She knows exactly what she’s doing.”
I died eating fentanyl laced gummy bears.
My condolences. But look on the bright side, would you have rather swallowed a needle?
That would have been better than my end. I had my whold house collapsed atop me by angry trick or treaters.
Who knew they weren’t offering me candy when they came to the the door.
Dressed like Antifa?
I was very careful to pick out all of the needles and razors.
‘We have to stop demonizing people and realize that the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them,’ Lemon said.
Share your plan with us, Don. Tell us how you propose to fix this. How ill you bring us all together in a harmonious rainbow of love and mutual respect?
We have to stop demonizing people
Absolutely.
and realize that the biggest terror threat in this country is white men
Wait, but you just said…aw, nevermind.
Don lemon is as dumb as a floor board. That llama is good intellectual Superior. So I give him a pass on his contradictory statement. But I think PayPal needs to halt any payments and CNN.com needs to find a new hosting solution.
+ applause +
Progressives want me, a white man, dead. As in literally. They are not demonized enough.
Ah, just got the handle. Welcome aboard.
Now fuck off, Tulpa.

*golf clap*
Usually they at least give us the courtesy of waiting for the next sentence before contradicting themselves.

something concentration something camp?
Doesn’t Don Lemon date a white guy?
But that’s like different and stuff. He’s one of the good ones…because he is a Democrat.
Institutionalized power bottom.
Wait – for real?
How much must both of guys hate themselves and each other?
You’re a bad white boy! NO! You’re a bad white boy!… Now lets swordfight.
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe we should give Lemon the benefit of the doubt and assume he was just drunk and accidentally let some of his bedroom talk slip while on air.
NSFW post OK? I got a perfect one for this.
You really think you need to ask for permission?
I suppose they can delete it if the want.
Don’t blame him. It’s the Japanese politeness kicking in. It happens to us gaijin too from time to time.

Next up – CNN will report on how terrible it is that White people have become more race conscious and voting in their best interests – while the Dems are going all-in on race politics.
Ain’t it just funny how falsely accusing people of being racist/misogynists/evil results in those people not cowering and just shutting up so you can have your way, but actually makes them angry and willing to put a stop to your shit show?
actually makes them angry and willing to put a stop to your shit show?
At the rate they are going, they (leftist racial identitarians that hate whitey) are going to create a self-fulfilling prophesy.
I wonder if that is their 5D chess agenda, but then I remember these people can’t even play checkers right.
Playing with pigeons, they just knock over the pieces and shit on the board.
Nope.
They keep using that word, but I don’t believe they know what it means..
Yeah, I didn’t see anything racist or verifiably false in anything they described about the ad.
Really guys? Did you doubt the headline was accurate, or not notice the link was CNN?
Provided by my “politically neutral” Google news feed. (In fairness it does have the Fox News story about Kavanaugh turning down $600K that was raised for him).
That is a fucking campaign ad funded by CNN.
No, no, no. This is news, because it came from a news station. It’s not a [fnord] commercial, commercials are crass things done by [fnord] capitalists who want to sell you things. We just want to educate you with the news.
Get out of my phone!
He will bring us all together when all the wrong icky people are gone. It’s just that simple.

“He died doing what he loved.”
CNN has declined to comment about Lemon’s remarks.
They’re too busy shooting the lock off a Coca Cola machine to raise the money to buy out his contract.
What’s the extension for the linking and bold and stuff?
Bold = strong. Italics = em. Link = a href.

I had an extension that did all that automatically, tho I just don”t remember the name…something monkey?

Don’t enable him, he’ll just make it a habit.
Info is on the main Glibs page
https://glibertarians.com/2017/02/monocle/
Got it, thanks
And search the thread for the Tophat extension, too. It gives you a preview option.
Preview is for the weak.
I’ve shot myself repeatedly with Monocle. Whatever you do, keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Eyepiece is the glock of extensions. Monocle is the colt 45 of extensions.
Trashy, can you roll Tophat into Monocle? It would be nice to have it all as one.
Are you the author? If so, just sign up for a gitlab account and request access to the glibertarians project. You can integrate it yourself.
If you aren’t the author or aren’t interested, I can do it.
Let this be a call to all amateur and pro web devs in the glibertariat: you are more than welcome to contribute to the Monocle and Eyepiece projects.
I don’t have nearly enough free time to maintain and update them as I’d like, and my skills aren’t kept up well enough to do the fancy stuff.
There are still many features that need to be implemented and improved.
Sorry, I’m a back-end guy (huh huh huh).
Trashy, is there a feature list? I spend most of my professional life fixing other people’s terrible JavaScript, I’ll be happy to help.
I spend most of my professional life fixing other people’s terrible JavaScript, I’ll be happy to help.
*cackles maniacally*
I think there’s a feature list hanging around on the Monocle page here on glibs, but I guarantee it’s woefully out of date.
Basically, here’s what’s on my radar:
-User and topic mute button
-getting rid of some of the quirks of the formatting buttons
-fixing the fact that the page shoots all over the place when new comments are added dynamically
-fixing the bug where the new comment button doesn’t adjust for dynamically added new comments
-overriding the post comment button to submit the comment without refreshing the page
-adding a reply button to the furthest right nested comments
Cackle all you want, there’s no end to terrible JavaScript, I’ve got a job until I die.
I’ll take a look at the source tonight and see if I can reformat it to meme extending it easier, then I’ll start on adding some of those features. Actually I’ll start by trying to fix the bugs, then move on to features. I’ll take a look at integrating top hat into monocle as well.
Let me know if you have trouble getting onto the gitlab project. Thanks for the help!
No, Rafe Long (I think I’m remembering that handle correctly) is. In your Monocle thread he gave you permission to take the Tophat code and add it to Monocle.

“Around the time Donald Trump was gobbling up tax-free inheritance money from his wealthy father and driving several companies into bankruptcy, I made a mistake” by proposing a bill to remove birthright citizenship, he said in a statement to Politico.
That was also around the time when Reid went from a podunk lawyer working as a state legislator on a modest salary to a net worth of 10 million dollars. At least the dupes who made Trump a billionaire did it voluntarily.
“Tax-free inheritance”
Oh, the fucking horror of a self-made man leaving money (that’s already been taxed once) to his children when he dies. What insane world is this where some people don’t get fucked into having to give up theirs family business to parasitic assholes like Warren Buffett, who have made a living preying on people who have to sell assets cheap in order to pay the death tax on them.
Trump should use Reid’s statement as a means to eviscerate the death tax and ask people if they’d rather the inefficient govt get their money when they die or whether they’d rather their families get it.
“Gobbling up tax-free inheritance money” is a an odd way to say “inheriting my dead father’s already taxed life earnings”
Navarre originally told media that the teenager used a semiautomatic pistol.
OK Gun guys, how similar is the sound between a semi auto pistol and carbon dioxide powered pellet gun?
Not very.
In fact they’re shockingly dissimilar.
I’m not even saying it was a bad shoot. Just that perhaps not every pellet gun shooter deserves to be shot countless times. I suppose we’re way beyond expecting the cops to hesitate even a nanosecond when they feel threatened.
The most important thing is that the cops get home safe. Second is that they get to do whatever they want. Somewhere down the line is protecting and serving the public.
*puts gammo pellet rifle behind back*
You sure you are OK with not calling the cops on me for culling the squirrel population in my neighborhood?
I wouldn’t want to get shot with one of them. It would be hard to kill someone with it, but you could definitely send them to the doctor to have pellets dug out of their flesh.
“It could lodge under the skin and cause a serious infection!”
Substantially different, both in SPL and in sound signature. But at least a CO2 pistol actually resembles a gun. That’s a step up from the usual procedure in these cases.
Furtively menacing waistband gestures
Yeah, not alike at all.
What I take issue with is the high speed chase through a neighborhood as school buses are being unloaded. That’s asinine.
Sometimes you have to flatten some children so that a cop can feel the excitement he had always wanted to.
What are you talking about sometimes you have to break a few eggs at high speed to bring those dangerous traffic scofflaws to justice!
As I get older I find myself getting more annoyed at movie action scenes. 100 mile an hour chases down sidewalks, just assuming ‘people will get out of my way’; fights with a robber in a store where the protagonist does $50,000 damage throwing the thief through coolers and display shelves etc. The cops all watch that stuff and fantasize about getting their chance. We really need every profession and job to take a modified hippocratic oath. (except the military I suppose)
First do no harm. If you freaking make things worse you are not a hero. When you shoot some kid’s dog you are not a hero. When you kill an innocent, not a criminal who may or may not have been an actual threat, I am talking about an actual innocent here, you need to do the honorable thing. take the magazine from your piece, empty it, clear the chamber, insert 1 round, rack the slide. lie down on a tarp. place barrel in mouth, cut to black.
Ain’t no bad situation a cop can’t make worse.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6340773/Avril-Lavigne-finally-addresses-conspiracy-theory-dead-replaced-clone.html
I don’t believe her.
She’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes. Like a clone’s eyes.
Exactly what a clone would do.
The best way to clear up this question is to take her clothes off for a raunchy magazine ten years ago.
Fire up the time machine!
She’s 34, not 74. She still looks pretty good. (See 2016 pic in article)

“Tomi Lahren dresses up as Kathy Griffin to recreate her now infamous bloody Trump beheading photo – and the comedian is NOT amused
Wearing a red wig and blue shirt, the 26-year-old held a ghastly clown head in place of Trump’s, with a caption that tagged Griffin and read in part: ‘Kathy, where’s your head at?’
It didn’t take the 57-year-old comedian long to see the post and clap back on Twitter. ‘I’m busy on tour right now or I’d dress up as you: a dumb, racist, and talentless hack,’ she wrote.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6340695/Tomi-Lahren-dresses-Kathy-Griffin-comics-infamous-bloody-Trump-beheading-photo.html

If it is as energy intensive as he claims, then it will self-regulate. The whole argument is stupid.
It is energy intensive. That’s why most of the miners are setting up where the government gives away electricity.
Seems there’s a limit to that behavior, unless of course the miners are in bed with the government. Gee, I wonder where that might be occurring? It’s got to be those evil capitalist countries.

It is a shame, I have never been a huge Rosanne Barr fan but I liked the show. It was the only accurate portrayal of working class life ever produced on TV
The writing on the original was top notch and to be fair the show was never all about her – it was an ensemble cast. But yeah, she is kind of a required ingredient to make it all work.
Norm MacDonald mentioned writing for that show.
Which means he should be further un-personed.
Joss Whedon was a writer there too.

Dispatch from the gulag
Hundreds of Google employees worldwide are expected to walk off the job to protest the company’s treatment of women and handling of sexual assault cases.
Organizers say they expect more than a thousand employees will walk out of Google offices worldwide at 11:10 a.m. local time on Thursday. Hundreds of employees have already walked out in Singapore.
Organizers are calling for an end to forced arbitration, a commitment from the company to end pay and opportunity inequity, a publicly disclosed sexual harassment transparency report and a safe and anonymous process for reporting sexual misconduct at Google.
The employee protest comes a week after The New York Times published an extensive report on sexual harassment at the company. Andy Rubin, the creator the Android software operating system, was accused by a female colleague of coercing her to perform oral sex on him in 2013, the Times reports.
———-
Since the Times report, the company’s leadership is dealing with an agitated workforce, according to multiple reports.
“While Google has championed the language of diversity and inclusion, substantive actions to address systemic racism, increase equity, and stop sexual harassment have been few and far between,” organizers say.
The walkout is meant to inspire “real change,” they say.
Some demands relate directly to Google’s workforce gender makeup: Only 31 percent of its global work force and just over a quarter of its executives are women.
Okay, then.
How would management even know? Are all the employees down by the coffee bar or out in the playground?
Their CEO has publicly supported their walkout. Ponder that.
In ten years, google is going to be like Oracle. Just watch.
“a safe and anonymous process for reporting sexual misconduct at Google.”
Time to skip out guys.
You’d think at some point sane people would get tired of the toxic environment there and start leaving.
“Organizers are calling for an end to forced arbitration”
Except for that Damore guy right?
This is what you get when you prioritize politics over performance in the workplace. You get more of what you measure and it will come back and bite you in the ass,
I sure as hell hope it fucking wrecks them as company and pisses off their shareholders as their wokeness destroys any profitability.
So people working for the company that is hell bent in helping China do censorship and create the greatest police state on the planet are pissed about the company not being left leaning stupid enough? Oh, man this shit couldn’t be made up.
Ouroboros continues its feeding session once more.
That is one of the things employees are unhappy about.
That they don’t have this capability here in the US?
Some demands relate directly to Google’s workforce gender makeup: Only 31 percent of its global work force and just over a quarter of its executives are women.
Doesn’t this make them fairly progressive, as far as tech companies go? I’d be willing to bet their applicant ratios are way more male-biased than their workforce.
Yes
Google will go down as one of those companies that ate their golden goose. It’s going to take a while, but when it happens it will be sudden and nobody will have seen it coming.
And I will LMFAO. Who is going to want to work there now that the pay is no longer tied to talent?
Usually the medicore to bad employees who want to skate for as long as possible.
High performers will jump ship.
I bet there are a few not so woke companies ecstatic about Google’s stupidity.
“Only 31 percent of its global work force and just over a quarter of its executives are women.”
Something something self-selection bias?
“You’re a sexist, racist, just like Damore!”
If you just prog hard enough you’ll get heaven on Earth! Applying neutral criteria won’t get you where you want because the oppressed have internalized their oppression, so we need affirmative measures to promote diversity. Those affirmative measures don’t work because some of the oppressed are not woke enough to understand what we know is best for them and they don’t want to work here, so we should reeducate everyone, probably in a sort of low key rural camp like setting, where the intellectuals can get back to the purity of a peasant mindset. It is a shining path to utopia and we will make great leaps forward! Work will make you free!
Tell us how you really feel…
Letters to the Editor: Trump is another Hitler
The author is a prof at Evergreen State, no surprises there. Probably had to write that as a condition of keeping tenure.
Nah, it’s resume fodder for when that shithole finally goes under.
“silenced forever” is the creepy part
That caught my eye too. That person might be sweating in an FBI interrogation room right now. Dumbass.
Evergreen State is still in business?
It’s a public institution. Taxpayer dollars keep it afloat.
It’s literally the 2 minutes hate with these people.
There’s a lot of people who support Trump just because he causes this kind of reaction in the author of the letter
There was something posted here the other day that said “Trump doesn’t make people start being crazy, he makes people reveal they always were”.
*dingdingding*
I don’t think the lefty academic types truly understands just how much average middle class people despise them
I don’t have any particular affinity for Trump, I just think he’s funny.
I like how crazy he makes the proggies. Otherwise he is just meh.
I may be one of them 🙂
Adjectives = Argument.
Somebody needs to take a chill pill. Jeez, for being such a Hitler, Trump sure sucks at silencing media and political critics.
Let’s count all the projection!
This stupid, ignorant, disgusting piece of subhuman garbage is way beyond merely an agitator or a name-caller
American democracy — and more generally the health and peace of the world — is threatened by his very existence
Trump is a threat to the very concept of truth
Oh, and something I guarantee this loon doesn’t actually believe:
And any society that has abandoned the concepts of truth and objective reality is a society doomed to failure.
Would this type of “hate speech” qualify for investigation as a potential lead up to hate crimes, as currently being agitated for by the left?
Coming from a prof at Evergreen State, this is absolutely laughable. I doubt you could find a single philosophy, literature, or studies prof there that isn’t a postmodernist.
‘This stupid, ignorant, disgusting piece of subhuman garbage’
Literally dehumanizing.
That they can do that over and over again without any sense of shame is pathetic.
Maybe he channeling his former life as a writer for “Der Sturmer”.
Wait, he’s defending the concept of objective reality? Isn’t that white supremacist, patriarchal, white male privilege shitlord thinking? I wonder what his post-modern grievance studies colleagues think of this?
“This stupid, ignorant, disgusting piece of subhuman garbage” is exactly how a Nazi would say it.
You missed the most important piece of projection. “…his followers believe…and are inspired to act…” is the original projection that makes all the rest of the projection so damn scary to this tool. To him, politicians are leaders to be followed, and they really do inspire people to act. Trump is a figurehead to his supporters. Maybe a battering ram would be more accurate. They go to a rally and cheer him on, then go back home and tend to their every day lives.
Zombie Pol Pot has a sad.
I’m keeping this.
piece of subhuman garbage
Something something dehumanizing.
“since Adolf Hitler. This stupid, ignorant, disgusting piece of subhuman garbage”
Hunh. I’m trying to recall which historical figure categorized other human beings as subhuman so they could kill them in concentration camps?
At least they didn’t commit unintended irony in the same sentence.
This is certainly a debate with some merit: is this a good move, is it a legal move and will it do any good?
Troops on the border will certainly be able to stop the majority of the members of the current caravan headed towards the border. As some kind of permanent solution to illegal border crossing, no.
As long as there are incentives for people to cross the border, people will cross the border. Prohibition doesn’t now and never has worked. As in all things, if one is interested in stemming the flow of illegal immigrants, then one has to address the root cause of the problem- the welfare state.
Defending the nation from invasion is the primary reason for having a military.
Agree that the border needs fixing in several ways – a wall, the welfare state, and the litigious process of expelling people who are obviously not citizens or refugees.
It’s only an invasion if the invaders are not marxist asshats looking for free shit and thus reliable democrat voters.
Immigrants are not invaders. I dont think that calling them such is productive. They aren’t an army.
They are people looking to take advantage of a system that is more beneficial to them than the one they are fleeing.
Their voting habits may suck, but so do the voting habits of damn near every person in America.
In any age, a horde of thousands, consisting of a majority of military-aged men marching on your border with avowed intent to force a crossing against your will and acquire plunder would be unequivocally an army. They may be an untrained rabble, but that was a goodly number of armies throughout history. The modern image of the professional, uniformed soldier had skewed impressions a lot, so that invasions go by without being called out as such.
They aren’t here to plunder.
Oh, really? Aside from those who are, Danegeld is still plunder – welfare for the invader.
If we want to call all people who accept money from the state plunderers then ok.
But if thats the case, there is a huge contingent of plunderers already here that are a much larger problem than the ones coming over the border.
But there’s still no point in adding to the problem by not turning back the army.
Just because we have a political party that buys votes by handing out what the laws they have passed have allowed them to plunder using the force of government agency, doesn’t mean that these people coming here for that free shit are not coming here to plunder….
They aren’t here to plunder.
What would you call gaming the system?
If they were to start calling them gamers, You’d probably be able to trick a significant portion of the left into being against them.
It’s theater, I guess. A show of force to prove you’re serious
I wouldn’t say the root cause is the welfare state. People wanted to come to the U.S. before welfare existed.
I’m not an open borders guy but if I was living down in squalor in SA or Mexico, who wouldn’t want to go to the US? It looks like paradise in comparison to many places.
Yup. I can understand why they do it. I probably would too. But that doesn’t mean we need to accept it or encourage it.
If they were coming here saying America looks like paradise I would say let them all in. When they come here waving Honduran flags and burning ours I say no. I think it is pretty simple. If you want to be an American welcome to the club. If you want to change or destroy America, no thanks play your games elsewhere.
I disagree. The existence of the welfare state is why there are so many opportunities for immigrants wo do come here. The welfare state enables citizens to opt not to take the jobs that immigrants are taking. It allows bob and Tommy to sit on their ass and allows Juan and Jose to mow your grass. Absent the welfare state, bob and Tommy would be mowing grass and Juan and Jose would be at home in Mexico. Unemployed Americans living off the state is what is driving the job market for illegal immigrants.
I personally dont care if Juan and Jose come to America to work if there is work for them. There is only work for them right now because bob and Tommy dont have to work.
When the economy was in the tank back in 09 or so, we saw the amount of illegal immigration drop. It dropped because there wasnt work here. The job market is what drives immigration more than any other factor. The job market is artificially inflated due to the welfare state. Kill the welfare state. Kill it dead.
I agree except for this phrase: “The job market is artificially inflated due to the welfare state.” The job market is deflated by the welfare state (and other things, like minimum wage and high cost of living). That’s how a migrant worker (legal or otherwise) can get paid 10x or more what the same job pays in his home country.
Inflated is probably the wrong word. There are a bunch of jobs available that otherwise wouldn’t be available is what I mean.
Agreed that overall the welfare state hurts the economy. Of course it does. What I was trying to get at is the jobs that are available to illegal immigrants wouldn’t be if Americans were doing them
I don’t see how the welfare state improves the economy. The reason there are so many opportunities for immigrants is because the U.S. is an extremely prosperous country.
The fault in your logic is assuming that the free shit incentive has not completely changed the composition of those now wanting to come here.
While maybe not the root cause, it’s certainly an incentive; also, ending or curtailing the welfare state is its own libertarian goal and would solve so many other problems. People who came to the US before welfare existed were certainly not looking for a handout. When a welfare state exists then the motives of immigrants can not be externally discerned.
Try ending the welfare state and you’ll have riots and that’s if you somehow got the necessary number of politicians to go against what their constituency wants. It’s fucked.
The welfare state will end itself soon enough.
21 trillion in debt and growing every year, no matter who is power. That bill is going to come due eventually.
If that’s the only way to end the welfare state, then you probably wouldn’t want to live in an ethnically diverse area. Full economic collapse would turn into prison style race relations as people scramble to eat.
Lachowsky gets it right: the welfare state will end. The horrible thing is that the people that have erected it and have profited from it have made sure that they are position to keep power (through the use of force) after it collapses and we return to a feudal state.
I’m just struck by how the left has completely turned this around into something that Trump somehow “caused” in order to aid the GOP next week, when it seems pretty evident that it started as a trap being laid by… the left.
The welfare state is part of the problem. The biggest part? Mexico is shitty.
Modern day prohibition and the enormous and lucrative black market in the U.S. for mexican drugs certainly isn’t doing Mexico any favors.
We already have “troops” on the border. The great watery border and we call these troops the Coast Guard and they’ve been there for decades.
JFC, how is this controversial?
Yes, and Coasties, like Border Patrol, are under the purview of the DHS. Considering the Posse Comitatus Act is still in effect, there should be some discussion, at least, when DoD gets involved in what is essentially a policing function.

Old Def Leppard did not suck
Yeah, they kinda did. ; )
You are wrong. Watching Angie Coleman shake her 13 year old money maker to “Pour Some Sugar On Me” in the 7th grade talent show, dancing a dance that only needed a pole and every male in the place making it rain with greenbacks is indelibly imprinted on my memory and proof that Def Leppard was great at one point.
As long as there are incentives for people to cross the border, people will cross the border.
“It’s a shithole. Turn back!”
Maybe that’s why all those progs are busy saying how “America was never great” and all that white male patriarchy stuff. They’re just method actors playing 27-D chess. Shit man, I need to have a few drinks.
TheBern! calls to tamp down the heated rhetoric and work together to find common ground for a better future for all.
Just kidding.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday went after President Trump, calling him “the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history” during a campaign event for Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous (D).
Campaign staffers “are working to make sure that the agenda of the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history will go nowhere because Democrats will control the House and the Senate,” Sanders said of campaigns across the country.
Mendacious or historically ignorant?
Yes.
LBJ wins – or at least places – for that prize.
Save some love for Wilson.
“the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history”
But not transphobic? Bernie has no love for them? And how does Trump feel about Hemophages?
Nobody likes mosquitos, Leon, not even mosquitos.
Your anti-hemophage rhetoric is…just so… Facistic.
Both
The 80 year old guy who wrote a tract about how all women secretly want to be raped thinks the pussy grabber in chief is the biggest sexist in history. I #believehim
the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted
Objectively verifiable examples, please. Or STFU.
This really goes to the rather obvious observation that the left doesn’t have arguments, they have epithets.
Memes.. That is why they love Twitter.
Trump is worse than Woodrow Wilson?
What’s sad is that Sanders is old enough to have read about the Trail of Tears as it was happening. Yet he still makes this statement.
Pshaw – Andy Jackson butchered Indians out of love, not because he hated them!
They’ve been trying to get Sanders to go woke since the end of the election, because he represented genuine left-wing non-woke opposition and thus was a threat. Looks like they’ve succeeded.
(genuine in the sense that the threat was real, not that Sanders himself per se is genuine, what with his multiple houses and all)
Mendacious or historically ignorant?
Given his stubborn incuriosity, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say the latter.
the most racist
FDR (internment camps), Wilson (segregating the bureaucracy), John Tyler (joined the Confederacy), and Andrew Jackson (Indian removal), for starters
homophobic
Nixon (tapes), Eisenhower (expulsion of gays from the bureaucracy), among others
bigoted
U.S. Grant (expulsion of the Jews from occupied territory when he was a general)
I’m sure there are many other examples as well, but that’s just off the top of my head.
Bitcoin essentially converts electricity into cash, via incredibly complex math problems designed to eliminate the need for government-sponsored currencies.
And thus is the true sin revealed.
It’s always a problem for marxists when government doesn’t get to control who wins and who loses.
Question for the glibertariat, what is it about statist GOP assholes like Max Boot and Jazz Shaw that causes them to have horrible taste in headwear?
I have an Aussie style waxed cloth hat. I wore it out yesterday and the bartender asked if I was supposed to be Indiana Jones. ::sigh::
He didn’t offer to act out that South Park episode about the whole Spielberg rape, did he?
Plus, I love Shaw wearing a hat inside when protocol requires men to remove hats inside.
There’s no need to fear, She Guevera is here.
“Six days from now, we can defeat the brutal white supremacist forces of anti-Semitism, anti-immigrant nativism, and racism,” says the famed socialist. “We can hold accountable the cold-hearted monsters who have repeatedly attacked our health care. We can send a message to the bigots and billionaires that this country belongs to all of us. We can win if we show up on November 6. We must end Republican control of Congress and begin to reclaim our nation.”
“A Democratic majority will not bring back the eleven Jewish people in Pittsburgh, massacred while they prayed. Or the two Black people gunned down days before at a Kroger grocery store in Kentucky. It won’t fully stop the relentless attacks against immigrants in America.
But on Sunday evening, Pittsburgh mourners—angry and broken-hearted like us—chanted ‘Vote! Vote! Vote!’ They understand the magnitude of the midterm election six days from today: that it affords us the chance to forge a powerful bulwark against Donald Trump’s hate and hold accountable the Republicans who have been complicit in every step of his toxic, self-serving, and destructive agenda. We must offer a path out of the darkness.
This is our chance to take action in solidarity with everyone whose lives are threatened by the hate-filled policies of Trump and the GOP.
Our chance to push back against white supremacist forces across our nation, against the xenophobes who are militarizing the border, against the bigots who seek to erase our transgender families, against the apologists for sexual assault and the Islamophobes who sow hate to divide us.”
Someone is being a bit disingenuous.
Bear in mind this is a woman who endorsed Linda “stop humanizing Jews” Sarsour.
OUR healthcare? Sorry, other people as well as my myself don’t wanna be in any way financially responsible for whatever medical conundrums and woes you and your relatives get into. If I care about you and yours enough, I’ll send you some money on my own will and time. What a disingenuous concern troll.
“Sorry, other people as well as my myself don’t wanna be in any way financially responsible for whatever medical conundrums and woes you and your relatives get into. ”
I’ll take it further,I don’t want nags to have an excuse for why they get to direct how I live my life and choose to eat or do.
I’ll drink to that, good sir.
Do these fuckers want a race war? Because shit like this is how you get a goddamn race war.

Climate change: Oceans ‘soaking up more heat than estimated’
So “the system” is working as intended?
No, we are further along in the full capacity of the water to hold it, so now is the time to panic!!
OMG! We’re going to boil the oceans!
Free seafood, already cooked?
I would agree with that except for the fact that I am now certain that they have no clue about the system (they don’t even care what it really is like because it just a means to an end) and they only see it as working if it allows them to push global totalitarian government on us all.
“People are noticing that our predictions aren’t coming true. Quick, spin some BS to cover our tracks while we write another grant application do to a bamboozling study!”
Of course the oceans haven’t actually heated up, so they claim the excess heat is in the deep ocean where it can’t be measured. Where it somehow manged to get to without warming the shallow ocean or the atmosphere. In defiance of the laws of physics. Because science.
I do not get how most of CO2 warming would be soaked by the oceans… Why would that happen? This is a serious question
The oceans will turn into soda water. (Some) Whiskey drinkers will rejoice.
Actually I mean it. Lets say the CO2 over the oceans reduce the rate of cooling of the oceans. But I would still see atmosphere holding more. Sunlight warms oceans, the oceans radiate the heat, the atmosphere traps it. So it stays in the atmosphere not the oceans. So if more goes in the oceans it means that it is not radiated. So how is CO2 doing it? As far as I can tell it seems the oceans radiate heat, it stays in the atmosphere and the in get back into the ocean and stays there but I am not sure I understand the mechanism,
It’s not.
If they had actual temperature readings for the ocean showing heat being retained there, they’d be crowing it from every mountaintop and mastpole. They’re fighting a retrograde action against the truth that the basic premise is faulty and needs to be re-evaluated.
Actually the two most important points when you consider this system are that the oceans are able to retain a massive amount of heat/energy – whether it be directly or as a sink when it absorbs other entities as impurities – and that the real and most powerful greenhouse gas is water vapor. Nature is a beast and it will balance itself out over time because this is not a closed system. Those that pretend otherwise are just evil fucks preying on other people’s lack of knowledge and fears to fuck them over.
Oceans are able to retain a massive amount of heat/energy but this IMO has more to do with ocean circulation and cycles thereof rather than CO2 in the atmosphere
CO2 is nothing but a red herring, Pie. The people peddling marxist global government chose that particular trace gas because they could blame that on man. The true and most abundant greenhouse gas by far (upwards of 90% of the atmosphere) is water vapor. But the global marxist could not use water vapor and then blame man to peddle their agenda. Shit most of the evidence out there points that CO2 is not a lead indicator of warming, but a lag indicator (it happens after warming occurs).
I don’t think they are saying heat is going into the oceans necessarily, but that water is retaining more CO2 and thus eliminating warming to a degree.
No, they are saying the that content of the oceans increased. How they know this, by how much and since when is a mystery to me.
Scientists base their predictions about how much the Earth is warming by adding up all the excess heat that is produced by the known amount of greenhouse gases that have been emitted by human activities.
This new calculation shows that far more heat than we thought has been going into oceans. But it also means that far more heat than we thought has been generated by the warming gases we have emitted.
This seems contradictory to me. If we add the heat generated by known gases how can that be more than we though?
It’s a case of start with the conclusion “plant food is bad and causes warming” then crunch some numbers to ‘prove’ it, then find some excuse when those numbers fail to reflect reality.
^^^THIS^^^
If you start with a false premise and then “massage” the data and facts to support it, you are not doing any fucking real science and should be ignored.
The gist of the statement is this:
Our predictions based on CO2 emissions show that the atmosphere should have warmed by a certain amount.
The atmosphere has not warmed by a this amount. Therefore it must be in the oceans in a such a way that can’t be verified. In summary, our predictions are true and, if anything, conservative even though unverifiable.
Wait, I thought that electric cars were the panacea for all that ails our climate. Am I environmental justice-ing wrong?
This is what passes for science nowadays. They didn’t measure anything. They didn’t test anything. They didn’t conduct any experiments. There is no falsifiable hypothesis. There is nothing recognizably scientific about it. They pulled numbers out of their asses but because they did it with a fancy Rube-Goldberg computer process, it’s legit.
They say it means the Earth is more sensitive to fossil fuel emissions than estimated.
I think it means the opposite.
That’s what I was thinking. Turns out the oceans are a bigger heat sink than we thought, and so the climate is more stable than we thought.
Assuming this is true. I think they worked backwards from their model/predictions, to try to explain why they failed, and this is what they came up with.
What bunch of stupid friggin idiots ABC. Just really dumb. I’m increasingly getting annoyed that people are getting paid to be incompetent buffoons.
Don Lemon is another one. That guy is running amok spewing unproductive, vapid racist garbage. But when people point out the ‘cold hard fact’ on black crime it’s racist.
Fack. Aff.
It’s preposterous people lose their jobs for far less and this idiot jerk off still works albeit for a clown organization.
I’m keep waiting for that tipping point where the outrage mob lose their fake power. When will people realize their teeth are not sharp and made of rubber?
It’s easier than that: almost everything broadcast is dreck. Unproductive vapid garbage is all we have anymore.
It would easier to simply list the shows worth listening to. I watch a few experts lecture on C-SPAN. What else is worth my while ?
Or, gasp, quit watching. I know it is crazy talk, but read a book or go on a hike, spend time with your kids.
I don’t have kids. Whose should I spend time with?
Do the OMWC strat and spend time with OTHER people’s kids.
Paging OMWC…
He pretty much says he did quit watching…
I’m training my wife to not watch that shit on the ‘news’. I haven’t watched in over 20 years.
The fact people like Don Lemon have jobs only cements my decision further.
It’s amazing how the internet has rendered ‘traditional cable news’ as completely pointless. In fact, I know people need the income, but it’s almost depressingly comical if they think their ‘anchor person’ jobs mean anything.
ABC News, NBC, CBC, BBC – whatever. All fucken jokes.
I bet you get your news from PUTIN rather than wholesome news manufactured here in AMERICA.
Manufactured by people that make Putin look decent?
Say, whatever happened to that surefire treason allegation? They were parroting all manner of convoluted theories involving Russian collusion, yada yada yada, nobody mentions it anymore.
Once they couldn’t dig up enough bullshit to keep that lie floating because the evidence started showing that what really happened was that the Obama administration got away with actually using the US intelligence apparatus to spy on the political opponent of the democrat candidate (Nixon only asked to do this and got run out of office), and that both Obama and Clinton had been behind orchestrating that move, the story had to be abandoned.
“Around the time Donald Trump was gobbling up tax-free inheritance money from his wealthy father and driving several companies into bankruptcy, I made a mistake” by proposing a bill to remove birthright citizenship, he said in a statement to Politico.”
I saw that video. Lol.
Anyway. Does this qualify as him ‘evolving’ on the issue?
Democrats follow where the votes go and their principles follow that. They don’t let their principles drive their party. That’s why they seem to shift so much.
That last sentence was meant to extend to progressives in general. Hence, why the NPC meme is so perfect. Some of those memes are amazing.
And their mindless followers will quickly do a 180 on any issue where their leadership tells them too. And then shriek “whataboutism” when someone points it out.
Exhibit A is how many people suddenly became against things because Trump was for them. I am telling you, Trump should come out tomorrow and say he is for a complete overhaul to make us a marxist nanny state, and the left would immediately stop peddling their fascist/communist shit and denounce him for wanting that.
In wanting to smash authoritarianism the left want Trump to act like an…..authoritarian.

Weather 2050
America is warming fast. See how your city’s weather will be different in just one generation.
To answer this question, we looked at the average summer high and winter low temperatures in 1,000 cities in the continental US, comparing recorded and modeled temperatures from 1986 to 2015 to projections for 2036 to 2065. This offers us the best possible estimate on how much winters and summers will shift from 2000 to 2050.
Weather isn’t climate except when it is.
comparing recorded and modeled temperatures from 1986 to 2015 to projections for 2036 to 2065
They compared made-up bullshit to made-up bullshit. Time to panic!
I never see a good argument made from the side pushing for massive changes, why they aren’t being conceited. 1. You have to assume pre-industrial temperatures are optimal, a silly assumption because obviously there are winners and losers. 2. You have to assume that your tampering isn’t harming the system even more.
You have to assume pre-industrial temperatures are optimal, a silly assumption because obviously there are winners and losers.
Especially since the pre-industrial climate was within an event known as the Little ice Age, which caused much hardship and suffering around the world. Warmer weather is generally better for humanity, less energy needed for heating, longer growing seasons, food crops viable further north, etc.
America is warming fast. – is it though?
Is that a joke or trick question?
So, I looked up Madison, WI, saw they had a rise of about 6 degrees.
So then I looked up St Louis. Apparently in 30 years, Madison might
become just slightly cooler than the current temperatures in
the blistering hellhole of St Louis. I have no idea how we’ll survive
such a calamity.
I’m curious how much concrete these 1,000 cities have poured during that time frame ?
Check this ‘fake news alt-right- person challenging a BBC producer:

And these are the people, like Lemon, ‘reporting’ on the news.
Rufus, the reason that people like Lemon have stopped hiding their bias and beliefs and have gone 200% progtard is that they no longer have the ability to control what is and isn’t news. That is what the marxists masquerading as unbiased reporters hate the most about things today. The good old days when they could ignore stories or outright misreport it to suit their own agenda are gone, and that kills them. Especially when you now have people that are pushing back against their bullshit. Trump is hated because he is not stupid enough to think that if he took the high ground and avoided going into the pig sty to wrestle these fucking pigs he would be find, and instead goes in and kicks their asses and shows them for the cunts they are.
I heard him call them the ‘far left’ the other day.
Perfect.
Just in case anyone missed the previous post; SF’s last Subaru Theater was his best work to date IMHO.

T”his is certainly a debate with some merit: is this a good move, is it a legal move and will it do any good?”
Yeah, right. The purpose of the military is a jobs program for General Electiric shareholders and bombing the Middle East.
No offense but the very fucking purpose of a military is to defend a nation’s borders. You know a nation. What we used to have.
So no, you are wrong. Sending the military to the border is fucking not debatable.
Wouldn’t General Dynamics be a better target than General Electric?

U.S. declines in internet freedom rankings, thanks to net neutrality repeal and fake news
Government control of the networks that interoperate to form the internet and censorship of content to prevent people from being deceived = more freedom. This is literal War is Peace type of shit.
I was thinking active censorship by the major internet players as being more of a threat, but hey, what do I know?
The thing is we libertarians have freedom all wrong. Freedom means never having to think for ourselves, or act for ourselves, it means others giving us ideas and taking care if us so that we are free from worries.
Yup. The freedom to post lies it’s not really freedom. Whatever. Everything for the party, nothing outside the party.
I remember the great sigh of misery when Net “Neutrality” was repealed. I think 5 million people died that day or something like that.
5 million literally could not even deal with the sudden and traumatic repeal of NN.
I heard Thom Hartmann on the radio a few days ago point out that Comcast can monitor every keystroke you make and read all of your encrypted emails and IMs, all because of the repeal of Net Neutrality.
That is…unfortunate.
Oh, well then we should totally give that power to the institution that can throw us in prison.
Never trust a man who spells Tom with an H
Thom McAnn shoes were shit!
And they use that info to force you into making gay p0rn, right????.
It’s good to know that Thom Hartmann is an ignorant fuckstick that I can now ignore completely.
Puting Germany high on any internet freedom ranking invalidates any top
Freedom is having a system where you have a social score that determines what and how you can participate like the Chinese now do..
“the lower number, the better a country ranks”
I’m glad they felt the need to explain how ranking works.
Welp, crosses FH off list of sites I used to trust.
Due to the repeal of Net Neutrality I can’t even post comments at this site.
Nor can I check the core of the Cal game.
Why did the kid die? Abuse? Diagnosed condition?

This is our chance to take action in solidarity with everyone whose lives are threatened by the hate-filled policies of Trump and the GOP.
Seriously. Who could ever have conceived of a 21st century America in which the federal government pays bounties for the scalps of Jews, homosexuals and brown people? Where news reporters are used as target practice by the secret police? Where plutocrats exercise their power of prima nocte in industrial scale rape camps? Where thousands of poor people are forced from their homes to make room for polo fields?
>>thousands of poor people are forced from their homes to make room for polo fields?
I could get behind this idea.
It doesn’t even have to be polo fields as long as we get to force poor people out of their homes.
You consulted for Nelson Rockefeller didn’t you?
Yeah, “forcing poor people out of their homes” was the modus operandi throughout urban America for pretty much the whole 20th century.
Just let them stay in their homes and bop them in the head with a polo club.
Because I hate all of you

I believe it is pro-soc since looking at the channel in general, most of their content seemed to be pro-socialism/anarchism and anti-capitalism. Of course, the whole channel itself could be a demonstration of Poe’s Law, but fuk me man I’m too tired to use my almonds right now. Enjoy your booze and thanks for the Kazakhstan article btw.
Thanks!
Should be submitting Part 2 tonight.
pro-socialism/anarchism

What we learned from the Yoder-Davids debate about health care, the EPA and Trump
I watched the entire debate. Davids has no idea what she’s doing or what she supports. She is just running on that guy is in the same party as Trump! If this is a national trend Congress is fucked.
I thought it was clear from the commercials she doesn’t know what she’s doing.
New picture now that Halloween is over, huh?
One day into November and I’m hearing holiday ad spots. Chris Isaak is doing a Christmas tour, apparently.
That is why I hate Christmas. Its so commercialized it makes me want to vomit.
Yup. I’mma be Lilith till it gets closer to Christmas.
Not specific to the debate, but… the EPA has become a symbol rather than a government agency. It doesn’t matter what they do, a whole swath of people will believe it’s good and necessary because it’s the EPA doing it. Never forget that Richard Nixon, alleged voice of the “silent majority”, created that monster.
…the EPA has become a symbol rather than a government agency. It doesn’t matter what they do…
If this is true, a clever pol could use it to their advantage. Keep it, as a symbol. Disempower it, reduce it’s staffing, but praise its good work and appoint some silver-tongued lay-about to “lead” it by traveling around the country giving warm-and-fuzzy speeches. Give it the same treatment as the Senate of Imperial Rome or the monarchy of the present-day UK.
The EPA serves the same purpose in American society that the Islamic Religious Police serve in Saudi Arabia. For both groups, their job is to promote virtue and suppress vice by means of harsh punishments in a mistaken belief that if they fail to do so, their respective supreme deity will destroy their nation.
I apologize if I’m going off-topic, but I was looking up different American folk songs/state songs I could play with a classic guitar for the yutes I work with. I figured it would be nice for them to hear some authentic old school murican folk music while they got a boy like me around. Any suggestions? So far I’ve really only been looking at Stephen Foster songs.
Is Marty Robbins’ music the kind you are looking for?
That can work as well. I for one relished Big Iron.
U. Utah Phillips. He was a filthy anarcho-syndicalist, but credit where it’s due the old school labor unionists (IWW) had some catchy tunes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkDVYqEvqnU
Also, this is not technically “folk” because it is not a song passed down through generations, but Chicago Farmer has a catchy tune called “Illinois Anthem”. Pretty good
Woody Guthrie has a huge amount of work beyond the “This Land is Your Land” song. Some of the songs are the same tune with different lyrics though. He was a pro-union guy but not a stooge.
Would Hank Sr. fit the bill?
Thanks for the suggestions, y’all. Noted them all down and I’ll be looking to see if I can scrounge up some of their sheet music. Thanks again, y’all.
Colter Wall is a young Canadian who plays a lot of traditional cowboy ballads. Could probably find some good old songs on his albums.
I don’t know what counts as folk, but there are things I wish the kids heard.

TW: Ezra Klein
A bit of health policy history is necessary here. In the early 2000s, it looked like Democrats and Republicans were converging around an approach to health care both could live with, built atop some of the Republican ideas offered in response to Bill Clinton’s 1994 proposal.
These Republican proposals, in a bid to show that costs could be contained using regulated markets and individual responsibility, included an individual mandate alongside regulations stopping insurers from discriminating against the ill or the old. The theory was that you brought everyone into the market and forced insurers to compete for their business by offering higher-quality plans at lower costs, not by separating the healthy from the unwell.
I realize expecting Ezra to make sense is a fool’s errand, but insurance, if it is to be considered as such, must be based on risk.
I suppose “robbing Peter to pay Paul’s doctor” just doesn’t have the same altruistic ring as “Look everybody, free health care!”
*not applicable to all definitions of “free”. Or “health care”.
How can anyone still be alive after tax cuts, repealing net neutrality, and Bret Kavanaugh getting on the Supreme Court? I literally have to walk over bodies to get to work

The reversal in the poll results between nations who view religion as important to their national character and those who would accept someone of another faith into their family pretty much tells the whole story
Is it wrong now to not be supportive of a family member marrying someone outside of your faith? I don’t see how this is different from not wanting a family member to marry someone outside of your political beliefs.
Muslim does not mean “Arab or Persian” and Christian does not mean “white person” (especially since Christianity is growing the fastest in Africa).
It’s telling me that the EU is owned and operated by the western European countries. Every one of those Eastern positions is rejected by the EU.
Well, yeah. That’s been going on for a while. It also explains why eastern Europe is a constant thorn in Brussel’s side
I mean say what you will about Romania but at least we are better than those fat stupid ignorant backwards Americans.
2 out of 5 ain’t bad.
Well, actually it’s only 40 percent. That’s only good if you’re a batter.
The first poll is fascinating. Notice the closer a country is to Muslim countries (with the exception of Spain), the less likely they’re willing to accept one in their family. Familiarity breeds contempt?
Meanwhile, the countries further from them geographically tend to be more open to the idea – ie the whopping numbers in Sweden and Norway.
France, well, we all know why France is at 66%?
Romania has a significant Turkish minority which creates little trouble, but I can imagine plenty of orthodox Romanians would not want one as relative. But the legacy of the Ottoman Empire is not fully extinguished. There are also lots of Turks, Arabs, Syrians coming here with business and are received with various degrees of acceptance.
I know. I have a lot of Greek friends. They absolutely are against over their dead bodies allowing Turkey into the EU.
I think the French and Germans have felt the same way. In fact, most European nations feel this way, but they keep paying lip service. At least that was the way it seemed until Erdogan got on the =scene and Merkel fell in love with his authoritarian ways. He must remind her of a youth harttrob those East German girls had back in the good ole days or something.
I think Eastern Bloc countries are less accepting of foreign influence in general. They spent decades having their identity subordinated to the Soviets and don’t want to compromise on it now.
Too bad that as actual victims of communist oppression they don’t qualify for proggie victim status.
The Soviets and/or Tito.
Fair enough, since Tito did stand somewhat outside the Bloc.
They’re not hipster enough.
I’m going to take the racist position and state that classical liberal Western culture is superior in every way to Arab and African culture save one, it’s loathsome tendency towards self-destruction.
Liberal being the operative element, rather than geography. Liberalism, or proto-liberal ideas at least, have done wonders when applied just about anywhere.
The Japanese are more Western than most of South America, so I’ve never understood how believing that Western liberalism is superior to other cultures is racist
I don’t think it’s racist at all.
It’s a simple fact in my view.
Western liberal culture is what accords losers like Lemon to act like dip shits and get paid for it.
I agree. I’m not a racist (other than having the biases that are built into human nature), but I am a culturalist.

Families no longer live in cities.
Richard Florida hardest hit.
I remember reading some of his stuff years ago. What was his main shtick again?
That what cities needed to do to revitalize themselves was appeal to the “creative class”, which is basically childless hipster leftists and gay people.
Add in homeless drug addicts to that list and I’d say it was a smashing success.
Tips hat…
Well said Q!
He also advocated that taxpayer funds be used to appeal to the interests of the so called “creative class”. That’s how you got government financed “artist” lofts and subsidized condo developments and brewpubs.
The guy became a millionaire by advocating for rent-seeking
Like a hipster Matthew Lesko?
Think more douche-y and less useful
Probably not as well dressed.
Ah yes. Yes. He even claimed Toronto was a hub for the ‘creative class’.
Richard Florida is an utter charlatan. He’s taking an actual phenomenon that happens within cities and trying to suggest that the process holds for metropolitan areas as a whole. Yes, the leading edge of gentrification (the less euphemistic term for revitalization) is Florida’s “creative class”. They move into crappy areas because, well, they’re cheap. That, in turn, does tend to eventually bring in the more upscale residents (doctors, lawyers, bankers, businessmen) because the neighborhood is fun. That, in and of itself, is fine as far as it goes. And if Florida had noted that, well, he wouldn’t have really been saying much. Instead, he pushed the idea that that gentrification phenomenon was symptomatic of large-scale growth of cities as a whole. But, it isn’t. It’s just certain professionals opting for certain downtown neighborhoods, rather than moving out to inner ring suburbs or formerly fashionable neighborhoods.
And a certain class of politicians were only all too happy to buy into his bullshit. Mostly because it was what they wanted to hear, anyway. It meant that they could brush off the day-to-day details of what their job is supposed to be (decent schools, low taxes, a good business climate) in favor of “hanging out with the cool kids”.
A big reason why Florida’s hypothesis is going to hurt cities more than help is that replacing families with singles means that you have a more transient population who are less likely to be homeowners. If and when trends reverse, you’re kind of screwed as you’re then locked into a demographic death spiral.
But, it was totally a smart move to subsidize the creation of all those condos.
*rolls eyes* I know Rochester, and it’s not some smaller version of NY or SF like the author seems to think. It’s rust belt, meaning that’s where all the poor people live. There are few jobs and no shopping left downtown. And crime is out of control. The population has been in a nosedive for decades – nobody is moving there and raising the cost of housing. Stupid.
Yeah, I noticed that too. All of this cities are only manufacturing towns (except Hartford which was textile town, I believe).
The useful part is looking at the data (which they don’t provide here, but other studies have noted) showing how cities with a stronger economy are losing families at an alarming rate.
https://www.city-journal.org/html/childless-city-13577.html
This was an article on the topic from a few years back.
FTA:
“Demographic trends seem to bear out this vision. Over the past two decades, the percentage of families that have children has fallen in most of the country, but nowhere more dramatically than in our largest, densest urban areas. In cities with populations greater than 500,000, the population of children aged 14 and younger actually declined between 2000 and 2010, according to U.S. Census data, with New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Detroit experiencing the largest numerical drop. Many urban school districts—such as Chicago, which has 145,000 fewer school-age children than it had a decade ago—have seen enrollments plummet and are busily closing schools. The 14-and-younger population increased in only about one-third of all census-designated places, with the greatest rate of growth occurring in smaller urban areas with fewer than 250,000 residents.”
WTF? Cleveland is too expensive for families? No one lives in the downtown area (except for some areas that are gentrifying), we all live out in the suburbs. Fuck, my house cost under $120,000 for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,440 square foot house on a ~9,000 square foot lot. How is that expensive?
Suburbs are evil. You’re supposed to give up your cars and walk everywhere from your matchbox-sized apartment in the urban core.
Damn, who knew Cleveland was that much more affordable than Richmond. Your house is very similar to mine but about 40% cheaper.
You live in the suburbs. I bet it’s even cheaper in many parts of the city proper. He’s trying to spin the idea that Cleveland proper is emptying out because it’s too expensive rather than because of crime or jobs, and that’s just silly.
Yeah… no. You can get a house for under $50,000 in same parts of the city proper. I wouldn’t want to live there, but it’s not even in the worst part of the city. However, right at the border of the gentrifying areas, you can get cheap houses again. Of course most of the jobs in this area are for a hospital, call center, insurance company, or the government. The biggest issues are the public schools are shite, the roads aren’t taken care of, public corruption (to the point that even the alt-lefty papers are calling for resignations), and there’s very little to draw young couples into the city. Fuck, the city has been trying to decide what to do with lakefront property for decades, and it’s just sitting there doing nothing.
Hartford? I don’t think anyone actually lives _in_ Hardford. It’s just a place where insurance companies have their offices. They roll up the sidewalks at night.
“Nearly 30 Percent Of Anti-Semitic Online Attacks Are Bots
Anti-Semitism and hate crimes have surged in the U.S. over the past couple of years, and almost 30 percent of accounts repeatedly tweeting against Jews on Twitter appear to be bots, according to a recently released study from the Anti-Defamation League.
Researchers at the ADL analyzed 7.5 million Twitter messages between Aug. 31 and Sept. 17. Billionaire George Soros, who is Jewish, was a leading subject of anti-Semitic tweets, according to the researchers.
The study reports that while human users still account for the majority of derogatory Twitter traffic in the lead-up to the midterm elections, “political bots—which explicitly focus on political communication online—are playing a significant role in artificially amplifying derogatory content over Twitter about Jewish people.”
The individuals behind the automated bots remain a mystery. “The facelessness of the people who are targeting the Jewish population is a major problem,” said Sam Woolley, an author of the study and director of the Digital Intelligence Lab at the Institute for the Future. “It’s something that has to be addressed, because it makes it impossible to either stop or report.”
The ADL study was released a day before a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue killed 11 people.”
https://www.npr.org/2018/10/31/662630534/nearly-30-percent-of-anti-semitic-online-attacks-are-bots
What percentage are NPCs?
The other 70% from progressives.
I see two groups of anti semites.
Group 1 are the obvious daily stormer types. Mostly white males, uneducated, un or under employed chronic losers who are desperate to blame some magical force for the mess that is their life and as good traditionalists they blame the JEWS. Every once in a long while one of these people snaps and does something horrible, but the rest of the time they have less than no influence on the world. If these people said the sky was blue you could get a 65% majority to vote to release chemicals to dye it pink. They have no economic, political, intellectual, or even mob influence. When they hold a ‘rally’ it would be hard pressed to mob a phone booth.
Group 2 are our progressive betters. They hold most of the bully pulpits in the western world. They are professors, media moguls, reporters, politicians and policy makers. They explicitly disclaim any animus for the oppressed Jewish people, they just hate those Nazi’s that occupy saintly Palestine. They breathlessly report every casualty (even the one’s that appear to be sneezing under their shrouds) in gaza as an innocent protestor or bystander, carefully aim cameras away from the thugs with guns, bombs, torches, axes etc. to properly frame the narrative as brutal jackbooted Netanyahu troops (never Jews), butchering the peace-loving innocents.
Which group is a threat?

Dirty tricks!
… Libertarian Rick Breckenridge, who has no chance of winning the race, took an unprecedented step in Montana politics and endorsed Rosendale, saying he’s taking a stand against “dark money” in politics.
The move came after an anonymous campaign mailer from an unknown group, which is a violation of state and federal election laws, went out to people in a bid to garner support for the Libertarian candidate and thus undermine Rosendale’s election chances.
“Matt Rosendale wants to use drones and patrols to spy on our private lives,” the mailer read. “Rick Breckenridge is a true conservative and opposes government intrusion into Montanans’ private lives.”
It remains unclear who’s responsible for the mailer, but the tactic resembles the efforts by Democratic groups that supported Tester’s 2012 bid, where a mailer was sent out to promote another libertarian candidate.
Tester won that race by 4 percentage points thanks to the Libertarian candidate who received over 6 percent of the vote – just enough votes to swing the election if the votes had gone to the Republican candidate at the time.
Damned lies, funded by dark money. The Democrats will get bad money out of politics. I know they will.
