The GOP is gambling, with some measure of certainty, that a great showing next year is all that matters. And getting the base to the polls is what they’re focused on, that they can undo any advantage Democrats enjoy with anybody who isn’t an angry white male by convincing those guys to show up at the polls.

Yes, this.
These people are not just posturing or bullshitting for votes. They MEAN it. They believe every crazy, crackpot idea they spew from their pie holes. If people bothered to read the GOP platforms they’d know the GOP run on this shit.
It’s all very, very real, and the people who insist on voting for anyone with an (R) after their name don’t get it. The power structure of the GOP really is that crazy. They really ARE that stupid and fanatical. As long as you keep voting for these idiots, nothing is going to change.

Thing about it is that the GOP the party that can’t think past the next election. All the damage done between now and next year to rile up the base is going to bite them in the ass when ‘16 comes and they’re trying to explain to moderate voters why banning abortion, repealing the ACA, telling immigrants to go fuck themselves, responding to the deaths of 22 school children by supporting the NRA over 90% of the country, and the litany of other bad decisions between now and then were good ones. Romney was already a bad candidate, but when you weighed him down with all the GOP’s accumulated baggage from ‘09 to ‘12, he never really had a chance.

Way I look at it, the GOP has tried and failed over the past three elections to hold/take back the Senate and even in the worst case scenario they’re in no danger of doing more than take a couple vote majority. That happens, then we’re left with gridlock, but now the GOP speaks all its time passing bullshit bills in the House that Democrats end up filibustering in the Senate.

And right on schedule, and copying some other state legislatures:
Idaho GOP seeks to halt cities’ anti-discrimination ordinances
[…]
On the other hand, Boise’s City Council president left no doubt how she felt about Idaho Republicans’ resolution encouraging legislators to do just that.
“It’s a sad thing, talking about institutionalizing discrimination,” Jordan said Tuesday. “It’s difficult enough that these protections don’t exist statewide, but an effort to actually take away protections that have been put in place in several cities already seems extremely ill-advised.”
On Saturday, the Idaho Republican State Central Committee passed a resolution recommending that legislators make unenforceable ordinances that expand Idaho’s existing anti-discrimination policy to protect sexual orientation.
Boise passed an ordinance in December that prohibits firing people, kicking them out of their homes and refusing to serve them in public places because of their sexual orientation or identity. At the time, Sandpoint was the only other city with a nondiscrimination ordinance on the books. Now there are six, with Coeur d’Alene, Ketchum, Moscow and Pocatello each passing ordinances. Idaho Falls is considering one.
[…]
Banning the firing of people, kicking them out of their homes and refusing to serve them in public places because of their sexual orientation or identity … oh, the horror of that.

Oh God, is this for real?
A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago.
However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down.
…
”..This team of investigators who actually handled the wreckage and victims’ bodies, prove that the officially proposed fuel-air explosion did not cause the crash,” reads a statement by the producers of the film, which will debut on cable network EPIX next month. “They also provide radar and forensic evidence proving that one or more ordinance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash.” However, the statement said they did not speculate about the source or sources of any ordinance explosions.
The whistleblower team, which includes investigators-at the time-from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), TWA, and the Airline Pilots Association, have since retired from their positions. They claim that at the time, they were placed under a gag order by the NTSB, which they charged falsified the official conclusion of the cause of the crash. They indicated they would elaborate more in a Wednesday media briefing.
So they’re saying it was shot down, just not by whom. If this isn’t a hoax and there really are six actual experts who were on the panel making the same claim the anti government conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day.

re: #26 freetoken
All I got is … that link is a Faux News story.
Here’s a CNN version of the story.
From the EPIX press release on Bloomberg:
Flight 800: A 14-Year Investigation Cracks the Case - Premiering in September
It was called “the largest aviation investigation in US and world history” by
the man who led it in 1996. But it was also the most controversial. Now, a
team of insiders from that investigation come forward in this feature
documentary to blow the lid off a multi-agency cover-up of what really
happened to TWA Flight 800. The team was brought together by an
extraordinarily persistent scientist 20 years their junior who himself spent
14 years investigating the crash. A riveting story of intense personal
journeys and a grand-scale exposé with breathtaking implications.
Tomorrow’s media briefing should shed more light on the situation and show if these six guys are legit or full of shit. Since they’re coming out in a cable channel documentary I remain highly skeptical at this point, but the story is in no way a figment of Fox’s imagination.
29 | freetoken Wed, Jun 19, 2013 12:41:22am |
If you look up the “Flight 800 Independent Researchers Organization” you’ll find it associated with bevy of fringe individuals and sites, such as Cashill, NewsMax, and so forth.
FIRO’s TWA FLIGHT 800 LINKS page links to only seven sites:
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED … um… ok… next:
Ray Lahr’s site pushes… WND and Cashill… next:
Associated Retired Aviation Professionals , which is a fancy name but was created specifically for the TWA800 issue, for it’s Other Websites, lists… WND, Free Republic, “Jesus Saves”… and so forth… next:
TOM SHOEMAKER’S “TWA CASE FILES” … is no longer a valid site/URL… next:
The NTSB TWA800 exhibits page… which doesn’t support FIRO’s claims but I guess they had to put it in there. Next:
The Newsday special section on TWA800… which is no longer a valid link. Next and finally:
Rodney Stitche’s site, which is a bad link, but still exists, which is a site dedicated to the idea that the US government has a long list of coverups over airline disasters, including the “Lockerbie Hoax”, how 9/11 could have been prevented and how the government secretly killed the FBI guy who hid the evidence, etc.
Quite a group of friends FIRO and Tom Stalcup has there.

True, the odds of these guys breaking a real story are thin verging on anorexic. I’m guessing the whole thing is going to come down to some severe selective editing of the six review panel member’s interviews and will be followed by a rash of denials and mutual recriminations.

A true rocket scientist. In other words, he’s saying climbing planes slow down. I recall from my flying lessons ages ago that increasing the airspeed increases lift, and the plane therefore gains altitude. Less throttle means lower altitude. You can control airspeed with flaps and the attitude of the plane, too.

I got stuck there an extra day due to thunderstorms closing the St Louis airport and causing my flight to get cancelled. So I had to get a different flight yesterday morning (6am flight - be at airport at 5:15am). Got to St Louis with no problem, but weather delayed the flight into Philadelphia’s landing for about an hour - so I basically lost a day at work.

Will check. Brunetti has only a nostalgic ethical sense—Republican Rome vs. modern Italy. He loves his wife (a communist contessa), kids and food. There is a companion Italian cookbook. I remember firing his pistol once, after drawing it for a nasty case. Her first book is the poisoning of the conductor at La Fenice opera house.

Speaker Boner says he won’t bring an immigration bill from the Senate to a vote if most House members don’t believe it will “secure the border.”
Meanwhile, here is our House of People’s Deputies working to “secure the border.”
While the Senate was working to amend the bipartisan immigration bill on the floor, the House Judiciary Committee was busy late Tuesday night passing its piecemeal approach to immigration overhaul.
First step, making it a federal crime (misdemeanor) to be in the United States with undocumented status and repealing DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), better known as the DREAM Act, that provides temporary status to people brought to the United States as children and were younger than 31 as of June 15, 2012.
Yeah, that’ll secure the border, alright.

The House hasn’t passed any laws under Boehner without Pelosi and the Democrats’ help. Every other piece of legislation is meaningless. 37 repeals of Obamacare? Worthless. Their latest abortion ban? Worthless. Meaningless. Not even symbolic.
The only thing Boehner can do, and has done, is allow the sequester. Congress holds the power of the purse. And beyond their ability to fuck over Americans, they have nothing if they don’t work with the Democrats.

Norquist: CBO Report Shows That Immigration Is ‘Key To Economic Growth’
Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist responded to the Congressional Budget Office’s Tuesday report that projected the Senate immigration reform bill would increase U.S. population by 10.4 million and would decrease federal budget deficits by $197 billion over the next ten years.
“Today’s CBO score is more evidence that immigration is key to economic growth,” Norquist said in a press release Tuesday afternoon. “Immigration reform will jumpstart America’s economy and reduce our national debt. And because CBO employed the type of dynamic analysis conservatives have long clamored for, we have a full accounting of both the costs and benefits of reform. I urge Congress to fix our broken immigration system for the sake of the American economy.”

Investigation of the 2011 crane collapse in Washington DC concludes:
The crane collapsed because the Crane Service Company operated the crane at a radius well beyond its load chart. At the time of the collapse, the radius of the load was approximately 344 feet, and the telescoping boom was at an angle of approximate 63 degrees. The jib attached to the telescoping boom was almost horizontal. The load chart does not go beyond 260 feet, with the boom making an angle of 75 degrees.

A new film claims that the government accidentally shot down the plane down and then covered it up. They claim that NTSB investigators were silenced and cowed into concocting the internal fuel tank explosion theory, and that they have evidence showing that the US Navy had accidentally shot the plane down.

My mother and I were discussing that yesterday, after we saw a report in the local news. Her view was one I imagine a lot of people have taken these days, which is that it’s a waste of time and money to keep looking for him after all these years.

ADL blasts Alice Walker over ‘shocking’ new book
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker “has taken her extreme and hostile views to a shocking new level” in her latest book on intertwined personal, spiritual, and political destinies, according a review of the book by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
…In The Cushion in the Road, Walker describes Israel’s actions vis-à-vis the Palestinians as “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,” “crimes against humanity,” and “cruelty and diabolical torture.”
According to the ADL, the book also devotes 80 pages to a “screed on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict replete with fervently anti-Jewish ideas and peppered with explicit comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany.”
The ADL claim twelve essays of the section, entitled On Palestine, are full of comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany.
The lobby organization also accuses Walker of denigrating Judaism and Jews. In a statement, Foxman said Walker’s descriptions of the conflict are “grossly inaccurate and biased.”
“It seems Walker wants the uninformed reader to come away sharing her hate-filled conclusions that Israel is committing the greatest atrocity in the history of the world,” Foxman said.

The host where I was staying this weekend went off on a longish rant about the Illinois FIDO card while we were driving somewhere. So I went and researched it a bit.
Illinois residents are required since 1968 to apply and get a card from the Illinois State Police (ISP) if they want to own a gun. Applying will trigger a database check and the ISP are required to process the application within 30 days. (Currently having a massive backlog and taking 40-50 days, big surprise.) And they can rescind the card (and thus legal gun ownership) based on a felony conviction, assault conviction, etc. etc.
Illinois also is one of the few states with no legal concealed carry at all. Though given recent lawsuits and proposed laws this might change within the year.
A wikipedia search for “repeal FIDO in Illinois” turned up the expected sites and groups.

Isn’t that a sort of ‘duh’ thing? If the technology makes considerable sense for patrolling areas remotely (as compared to manned helicopters, etc.) then you should expect it to be used.
It seems that a lot of people simply view the word “drones” as meaning missile-armed Predator or Reaper variants are circling above their homes and will destroy them once their registration as Republicans or Libertarians is confirmed and the button is pushed.

re: #157 Feline Fearless Leader
The host where I was staying this weekend went off on a longish rant about the Illinois FIDO card while we were driving somewhere. So I went and researched it a bit.
Illinois residents are required since 1968 to apply and get a card from the Illinois State Police (ISP) if they want to own a gun. Applying will trigger a database check and the ISP are required to process the application within 30 days. (Currently having a massive backlog and taking 40-50 days, big surprise.) And they can rescind the card (and thus legal gun ownership) based on a felony conviction, assault conviction, etc. etc.
Illinois also is one of the few states with no legal concealed carry at all. Though given recent lawsuits and proposed laws this might change within the year.
A wikipedia search for “repeal FIDO in Illinois” turned up the expected sites and groups.
FOID… ;)
Original deadline for CCW was June 6, but the Illinois Atty Gen. granted a 30 day extension.

That’s what I was thinking too. The word “drone” brings out the paranoia. You’d think libertarians and Republicans who claim to be “fiscally conservative” would be partial to something like that since it’s more affordable than manned vehicles but of course these are people who act like government surveilence on US citizens is something developed and started by Barack Obama.

Man accused of threatening Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston man is accused of threatening to kidnap, murder and burn U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and his father and also to “blow up” the sun if he wasn’t paid $3 million.
Nick Gates was being held Tuesday in the Harris County jail on a $10,000 bond. He’s charged with making a terroristic threat.
Investigators allege threatening phone calls made June 5 to Cruz’s offices in Austin and San Antonio were traced back to Gates.

Far too often, unless someone is killed, drivers in vehicle-caused injuries do not get prosecuted. Most drivers speed well above the posted speed limit (and all too often 10+ over the speed limit), and police enforcement is nonexistent. It’s just not prioritized.
Instead, the NYPD and media outlets focus on bicyclists and the new citibike program for their ire - along with changing street use patterns to focus less on cars and more on other modes of transportation.

The World Bank issued a report highlight just how devastating climate change and global warming will devastate those who are least able to withstand the effects - particularly in Africa and South Asia.
Already by the 2030s, 40 percent of the land used to grow maize in sub-Saharan Africa will be unable to sustain that crop because of droughts and heat, the report said. Also by that time, sea level rise coupled with more intense cyclones could inundate much of Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, it said.
“At the World Bank Group, we are concerned that unless the world takes bold action now, a disastrously warming planet threatens to put prosperity out of reach of millions and roll back decades of development,” Kim said. “In response we are stepping up our mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk management work, and will increasingly look at all our business through a ‘climate lens.’”
In a conference call, bank Vice President Rachel Kyte said the World Bank doubled its lending aimed at adaptation efforts to $4.6 billion in 2012.
She said that money was separate from the adaptation funds transferred from rich to poor countries in U.N. climate talks. The developed countries have pledged to ramp that financing up to $100 billion annually by 2020. Critics say that won’t be enough, pointing to the New York’s recently announced $20 billion plan — for that city alone — to stave off rising seas with flood gates, levees and other defenses.

That’s horrific. This is why I call the current GOP the American Taliban. The sheer lack of humanity it takes to write and vote for a bill like this is frightening.

The results aren’t in their favor, so they think that changing the parameters and goalposts will arrive at their predetermined outcome.

True, but the RWNJs have been chest-thumping all week that this was going to be the biggest teabag rally ever. Yet, Glenn Beck could announce that he’s going to take a public crap in the woods, and his demented followers would still show up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah…and Beck’s last effort was supposedly like 80k strong, until the park service people said…uhm, no…nowhere near that.
That this many people can take the time to bitch about (fill in the bitch du jour), one which is almost assuredly wrong, stuns the senses.

Texas pastor: Donate to fix my helicopter and get a new car from God
A Texas pastor is being accused of “blasphemy” after he sent out a fundraising plea promising that God would give a new car in “52 days or 52 weeks” to anyone who chipped in $52 to fix his helicopter.
“Do you need better transportation?” New Light Church Bishop Ira V. Hilliard asks in a letter obtained by The Smoking Section. “Do you have a dream vehicle or luxury automobile you long to purchase?”
“We have an urgent transportation need that the Lord said can be an opportunity for you to see His favor and His wisdom released to help you,” he continues. “Scripture teaches when you give to a Kingdom need God will raise up someone to use their power, their ability and their influence to help you.”
Hilliard says that he was excited when the “small voice of the Holy Spirit” told him that God would “release favor” for anyone who helped upgrade the blades on the church’s helicopter.

re: #230 Dr. Matt
A big “as many as 55” people from Atlanta’s suburbs boarded a bus yesterday to head to the big rally. This was appearantly very newsworthy since it was on the local ABC affiliate at least half a dozen times since they left yesterday. The film of the happy protest goers on the bus showed them as all white and most likely over 60, I saw no younger people in the group. I’m half surprised that WSB (which has a wingnut radio station with the same call letters) didn’t send a reporter to cover the big news, though they did tell us today that Glenn Beck was speaking to the crowd RIGHT NOW at lunch time. This is one thing that drives me batshit about the local news here, it’s either “OMG it’s raining, break out the Storm Chaser 2 truck” or big time coverage of anything a conservative does, unless of course a democrat (usually an african american) does something wrong. Meanwhile, when our governor, Nathan Deal was being investigated while he was a member of congress for corruption, the local news said barely a word and fell all over themselves to cover his campaign for governor. Ack.

Since the HPV vaccine was made available in 2006, the infection rate has dropped 50%. And that’s even with a low enrollment.
That’s amazing progress is a short period of time, and indicates that a higher enrollment rate would further reduce the spread of HPV and reduce incidence of cervical cancer.

Autopsy On GOP Social Issues Is ‘Grossly Overstated’ Say GOP Lawmakers
Republican lawmakers have a message for those who want the party to soften its emphasis on social conservatism in hopes of reaching a wider national audience: Not so fast.
House Republicans flexed their cultural and conservative muscles Tuesday, passing the most restrictive abortion measure in years. They also advanced legislation to crack down on immigrants living illegally in the country, even as senators pursue a plan that would offer those same millions a shot at citizenship.
The actions reflect a roiling debate among Republicans over why they lost two elections to President Barack Obama, and how best to rebuild a winning formula.
Many Republicans in Congress and elsewhere think the party’s establishment erred in concluding the GOP must embrace “comprehensive immigration reform” to attract Hispanic voters. And they dismiss the notion that Republicans should soft-pedal their opposition to abortion, a subject on which they say public opinion is moving their way.

Fischer: Liberals Support Immigration Because Conservatives are Outbreeding Them
On his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer explained that liberals support immigration reform because they are being out-bred by conservatives and so “ten, twenty years down the road, they’re just going to be outnumbered.”
“We are breeding our own voters,” Fischer said of conservatives, whereas liberals “have got to import them … so that’s why they’re so enamored with illegal aliens and amnesty for them is they’ve got to find some way to get these people on the voter rolls to just maintain numerical parity with conservatives”:
Yeah, because Conservatism is passed genetically, and if you’re born a conservative, you’ll never change.

Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, was accused of developing the mobile device and attempting to sell it to Jewish groups and then to a southern branch of the KKK. A second suspect was also arrested Tuesday. The charging document was unsealed Wednesday.
