http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/05/hi llarys_electoral_luck.html The Clintons are notoriously corrupt. Their pathological mendacity reaches back over many decades. They lie; they cheat; they bribe; they threaten. Often the Clintons seem to have almost supernatural "luck" that defies the best house odds in Las Vegas. ........ What follows is thinly veiled accusations that Clinton minions have done vote fraud. Who on this planet could possibly believe such a thing is Possible? ( ok, ok, all sentient beings and most molluscs. ) If I was a Sanders fan, and ignorant of history, mathematics, and logic, I'd still be a bit suspicious of Hillary's great fortune. I'd even suspect her of cheating. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. ( analog, conventional 12 hour ) | ||

This seems like a good idea, but is seems it is already a means to simply push the AGW agenda. Bjorn Lomborg sums it up quite well IMO...
Sounds to me like they are simply "correcting" articles to give the approved message, not what is the true understanding of skeptical scientists. Climate Feedback site allows scientists to correct media errors | ||

"In Hillary’s case, she does not seem to want to run on Ben Rhodes’s foreign policy, Jonathan Gruber’s Obamacare, Lois Lerner’s IRS, Lisa Jackson’s EPA, Eric Holder’s Justice Department, or Barack Obama’s racial healing." and "What keeps Hillary out of jail, or at least a plea-bargain, is her political viability, first as the likely Democratic nominee, and second as a presumable winner over Trump. But take either likelihood away, and she de facto loses exemption and becomes expendable — a fact that is well known to her and which cannot be an easy reality to face each morning. She is beginning to resemble a Third World caudilla who knows that the minute she loses power, so too she loses her head."

To Hillary, "Surely you understand that ending disabled-workers’ exemption from the minimum-wage requirement will make almost all of them unemployable" http://cafehayek.com/2016/05/open-letter-to-hillar y-clinton.html On the subject of raising the minimum wage, over the weekend, I saw a row of three selfservice ordering screens at a Panera. The order takers there might be thinking about how much they like raising the min wage. As has been said, the real min wage is zero. | ||

As with most progressive ideas the results are not the advertised ones. Partial government paid education raises the price tag for everyone. The same is blindingly true in health care where more and more costs increase just to do govt. Mandated paperwork. Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy applies. Now full socialist policies get you worse service and results too. But the partial socialist transition period we're in today is inevitably one of decay in service. I will say that in America even the below median working class have far better care than most of the planet and even the America of the late twentieth century. It just costs twice as much. Mostly because of well intentioned efforts to make it cheaper. (Cough, affordable care act) When labor gets expensive, either because of arbitrary rules or market forces, a company has no choice but to cut back and raise prices. Fast food has already cranked the prices up a lot in the last 7 years and since costs for consumers are up and wages dropping there's not a lot of flex left to absorb more expensive tacos. So they will install kiosks and robot taco machines and cut jobs. You can see this is a spiral of suck for employees and especially youths. Naturally, minorities and the poor suffer most. A paranoid or someone who paid attention might think wrecking poor folks lives was the real purpose. | ||

No doubt we will be seeing more and more headlines like this. Building robot McDonald's staff 'cheaper' than hiring workers on minimum wage | ||

I was just watching coverage of the email scandal on Fox News. Pretty damning of Hillary. Out of curiosity, I switched to MSNBC just to see if they were even covering it. They were covering it, but they had a big banner quoting the report where it said that use of private email by Hillary wasn't unique. While that's true, it really isn't a very important part of the report. All criminals do many things that are neither unique, nor damning. That doesn't make them innocent. | ||

Using a private server isn't unique. Using aliases to defeat FOI requests is SOP, and a felony, in the Obama Administration, at least as documented in the EPA. However, Destroying Public Documents IS A FELONY. E-mails on a State Dept. Server, which the Secretary Of State's Server IS, ARE public documents. Hillary admits to "wiping with a cloth?" over 30 thousand e-mails. She is an ADMITTED FELON. And will pretty damn obviously lie to your face any time it gets her what she wants. Benghazi was over a youtube video? Lie. We know because e-mails released have her telling people it was a lie. Hillary's actions as Sec State? How much was she bribed and what did she do for those bribes? Ask Vladimir. He appears to have invaded Ukraine because of Hillary's actions. Besides. He has her emails. So does Obama. The NSA has them. They know what total scum she is. So should you. | ||

https://pjmedia.com/diaryofamadvoter/2016/05/24/ts a-the-va-venezuela-and-bernie/?singlepage=true Chavez was a great example of a Socialist leader who destroyed a country and may have won the last legit election ( as these things go ) in his nation until the bloodbath soon to come. And it's coming. It may come next month. 2008 may be the last legit election for President we ever had. ( and for the parrots out there, did you know that the PRESS in Florida did a re-count and found out....Bush won?? Bet you didn't. ) I still have hopes for the Republic. I do suggest you have at least 2 weeks of drinking water at hand.... just in case. BTW, as a hard core Coke addict, I'd probably be shot today in Venezuela. | ||

"2008 may be the last legit election for President we ever had. " Now you sound like one of the Gore supporters... Drama much? | ||

There are pundits who point out the narrow, but interesting gap in the vote counts, and having the person in charge of counting votes be a massive supporter for one side, ( the one that get 37.5% of the vote vs. 37.3% ) makes me a bit, cynical. Of COURSE it's the End Of The World As We Know It... it always is. My hypothesis, is that Hillary has cheated, I don't know if her minions have actually stolen the election, but it would not surprise me. The fact that I am very biased against her should be taken into account. I also don't KNOW that Obama won his first Presidential bid by fraud, but I'm willing to bet $25 that his second term had a lot of fraud. Of course, the second term election had him running against Romney, so you may put the blame on the Republican Establishment for making it easy to cheat. And it may be that Romney just annoyed too many Conservatives, who them stayed home and let Barry win. You were aware they ( Independent Press ) did recount the Florida votes, and Gore lost? | ||

From my experience in vote counting, a LOT of people would have to be involved in that particular conspiracy to make it happen, so I never thought there was one. Miscount? Maybe, but they recounted so many times that one lost wind too. That is one thing I think people kind of forget when it comes to conspiracies and fraud. When more than 2 humans are involved, the secret will get out eventually. Humans have not been known to keep secrets very well, even under threat of death or imprisonment. As far as the last 2 elections, you only have to look at who the republicans put forth, which is the same reason Bush won twice. Not any back doors conspiracy. I think something similar will happen this time. Too many Dems hate Hillary and (despite what others think) can't see putting an independent socialist in office. Too many Reps hate Trump, but hate Hillary more. I am curious to see what the actual voter turnout will be for all parties. Wonder how many votes the Independent party will get this time? I love the fact that a San Diego newspaper is telling people to write in Reagan instead of voting for Trump. hehe, this has got to be the most comical election cycle EVER! | ||

....you only have to look at who the republicans put forth.... And people wonder why the Anointed One, Jeb, got zero traction. It's because the Voters didn't want another Bush. We didn't want another guy who's "turn it was". We really didn't want anyone associated with Boehner, the Crying Guy. While the Republican Leaders have been "getting along" despite what CNN tells you, they pretty much give Barry whatever he wants, most of us have been wanting NOT to spend more money we don't have then ever before in human history. WW2 was cheaper than Barry's spending, and after the first year, there has been no legal budget. Barack Obama has never signed a legal budget, just a series of emergency spending bills to tide us over until after the next election. A growing number of Americans want Congress in prison for not doing it's job. Harry Reid wouldn't even let a budget from the House go to a vote. He did allow the President's budget request go to a vote, and it never passed. So since 2009, the United States has had no restriction of spending, until the "sequestration" deal Obama made to spend more, and since that kicked in Obama has cut the military. He has never stopped rewarding those who bribe him. So if we were hypothetically going to burn the bad guys at the stake in the reflecting pool as a warning to the next generation, it would be a very bipartisan fire. | ||

A lot of people are very, very stupid. We can’t forget that. I think that young people, especially those that are lost and weren’t raised, you know, with any kind of moral foundation of any kind, you rebel against things just because they exist and you go for something else just because it’s different. I think the third thing is the saddest reason . . . that we’ve lost . . . the young generation has lost what I think should be an instinct, to kind of want to go out on your own, make your own way in life, be independent, be free, you know, self-determination. These are things that a lot of people in my generation aren’t inclined to. | ||

I do suggest you have at least 2 weeks of drinking water at hand I purchase it 2 pallets at a time from Costco. Kirkland water is bottled by Niagara. It's quite good. 3840 bottles costs me about $315 with tax, and it's enough for 5 bottles per day for my family and 5 other people (neighbors or anybody else in need) for over a year. In addition to this, I have 20 food grade buckets with tap water in them, for washing or other utilitarian purposes. | ||
| Airbozo |
Water is not my concern right now. My community was originally on a local well, which is still viable and would only take about an hour to reconnect to our 22 or so houses. (one house is still using it and it tastes good). My concern is with fuel. I can log the forest around me for many years to come so I have heat and cooking fuel, but gas for the generator and vehicles would be scarce/expensive. The SO stockpiles toilet paper knowing that she can use it for currency if anything were to go south. "Can you spare a square?" | ||

I always laugh at the radio ads telling me to buy Gold for the end times. HA! Good trading materials include Bic Lighters and Feminine hygiene products. "excuse me, can I trade this Gram of Gold I bought for $1000 for a days rations? No? How about 50 rounds of .22 Long Rifle? Deal!" | ||

If you come to my house with that suggestion, you'll get the reality in return. You will need a large, strategically deployed group of like minded "comrades" to take what you want with mere threats. After all, to paraphrase Samuel Colt, it is a great equalizer. |
