Don Lemon Brings on a KKK Member to Share His Feelings
So tonight CNN thought it would be newsworthy to have Don Lemon interview a KKK member about the SAE fraternity racism.
There are no words.

What’s next, asking a Neo-Nazi about a four letter k word in regards to Jews?

Why on earth would anyone give a fuck what someone from the KKK has to say?
4 | HappyWarrior Mar 11, 2015 8:36:05pm |
I never watch CNN anymore but I watched on Presidents Day because I’m a presidential history buff and wanted to challenge myself. Lemon was one of the anchors playing for charity that night and he just struck me as a very unintelligent man. This was after I had heard him of course suggest a woman bite her rapist’s penis off. CNN can be fucked up as FNC when they want to be and Lemon pulling this just re-enforces that belief but I don’t even know if FNC would do something this pathetic.

I know, I was taking a shot there because I’ve been told that Graham just acts like a raging right wing lunatic since he needs to stay in office to prevent someone really nuts from taking his seat over.

And all that crap about how he had to act wingnutty to win his primary was just that—crap. He was never really in any danger, and when all was said and done, he didn’t even have to have a runoff.
Graham had 57 percent of the vote, well ahead of second-place finisher Lee Bright, a state senator, who had 15 percent. The Associated Press called the race about two hours after polls closed. The five other candidates were in single-digits. Graham needed to win more than 50 percent to avoid a top-two runoff.

They are actively working to undermine the American union. This should be the first question asked of any Republican leader, of any Republican candidate, and certainly of obvious anagram Reince Preibus, the emptiest suit in American politics.
They should be asked, every day, in every forum, if they believe in the Supremacy Clause, the Reconstruction amendments, and the federal union. These are yes-or-no questions.

Sadly, Chuck isn’t the only person tossing about their purported IQ as an argument from authority. I get the “I’m in MENSA, my IQ is high, therefore Austrian economics” floating across my other social media platforms. One libertarian friend, and I get this window into all the posturing and shoddy logic. It’s tiresome, but I feel it’s important to read the other guys…especially when they’re how bad their reasoning is.
Not surprised Chuck went full Moldbug, though. He’s just searching for the special community that will tell him he’s special and nobody else is or ever will be…with a side order of social conservatism.

So, I wake up to continuous coverage of 2 cops being shot in Ferguson, not life threatening, but “serious” wounds. I wish them a speedy recovery (neither were Ferguson cops but others who were brought in from STL and another town).
This is going to garner far more news time than the dead victim who brought the racist Ferguson PD and govt into the spotlight.
I’m not excusing the misguided, stupid shooter, but of course, we’re already hearing the derp, including the implication that he was in the crowd of protesters.

WASHINGTON — Two senior Secret Service agents are under investigation for allegations that they crashed a government-issued car into a White House barricade after a night of drinking last week, prompting a new inquiry into personal misconduct by employees of the widely criticized law enforcement agency, officials said Wednesday.
“The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service, is investigating the March 4 episode, according to a Secret Service spokesman. Officials said the two agents may have been drunk as they ran their car through security tape and then careened into a barricade at one of the entrances to the White House grounds.
“The two men are Mark Connolly, the second-in-command on President Obama’s personal protective detail, and George Ogilvie, a top supervisor in the agency’s Washington field office, according to an official familiar with the investigation who was not authorized to talk about it publicly.” More

“Tony Rice, a Ferguson resident and protester, said: “The shots came from up Tiffin Avenue” - an upwards-sloping street directly opposite the police department. DeRay Mckesson, a prominent leader of the Ferguson protest movement, agreed that the shots were fired from “the alley or street” behind where protesters stood.
“I’m 100% sure on that,” Rice told the Guardian. “Clearly no one shot a gun close to me.”
“Yet, when asked to confirm that the shooter or shooters had not been among the protest, Belmar [police chief] said: “I don’t know who did the shooting, to be honest with you right now. But somehow they were embedded in that group of folks.” The police chief said he had no details on descriptions of suspects or on the weapon or weapons used.”

re: #135 Justanotherhuman
The cops are naturally going to suspect the protesters, but I can’t see how someone “embedded” in a group of people can shoot over their heads at someone further away. It makes more sense for the shooter(s) to be in an elevated position, either on a hill or in a building’s upper floors.

If the shooter was more than 100 feet away, as the protestors are saying, then he likely wasn’t using a handgun. That’s either a pistol-caliber carbine or a full-on rifle. The longer barrel and the stock are normally needed for accurate fire at that range.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I see that the news brings bad tidings from Ferguson as two cops were shot overnight and that the facts of the shooting are still under dispute.
I am withholding judgment as to what exactly happened, but also have no trust in the local police to conduct an investigation of any sort. Not the FPD. Not the county police. Not the local prosecutor. None of them.
Could it have been a protester? Possibly.
Could it have been an agent provocateur? Possibly.
Could it have been someone who used the protests as cover for carrying out violent acts? Possibly.
The motives are uncertain because we still don’t know much about what transpired.
But even more basic than that:
What is the condition of the officers (where were they shot)?
Where did the shots come from?
How many shots were fired in total?
What kind of weapon was likely involved?
Those who have been involved in the protests have been pretty good in avoiding violence with the cops, so why would someone shoot a bunch of cops on the day when the police chief announces he’s resigning (and getting a golden parachute too)? That comes days after other city officials announced their resignations.

BB60? The USS Alabama… Nice!
Yep. Have been down in Pensacola and Mobile. Spent a few hours in a museum at NAS Pensacola yesterday. :)
The park with the USS Alabama also has a sub (USS Drum - Gato class) a hanger with a bunch of warbirds in it, and a number of tanks and artillery pieces as well.
The tour of the Alabama is self-guided and you can get on 8-9 different decks. You can enter the after-parts of all three 16-in gun turrets, and even a few of the 5-in gun turrets. However, you don’t get to go down into the main barbettes or engine spaces. (In comparison, you can get down that far in a tour of the USS North Carolina.)

re: #196 Justanotherhuman
I hope the fix is easy, car is just broke in!! saturnfans.com
I had my Service Engine Soon light come on about two weeks ago. I scanned it and got a P0440 which is a generic “Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction”. The auto parts stores will try to sell you a replacement gas cap when this code shows up, and it could be a leak at the gas cap, but that’s not what I found.
There is a very simple emission system diagram on a sticker under the hood. It shows two vacuum lines going to the throttle body (one from the fuel pressure regulator and one from the a purge solenoid.
I capped off the port on the purge solenoid (vented the fuel vapor into the air), reset the code and drove the car. The light never came back on. Therefore I knew that the problem was not at the purge solenoid.
There are two components to the emissions system: canister purge solenoid and canister vent solenoid. The canister purge solenoid (or purge valve) is located between the right end of the engine and the right strut tower. The purge solenoid is normally closed. But when ordered to do so by the PCM, it allows the fuel vapors that are stored in the EVAP canister to be drawn into the intake manifold, where they’re mixed with intake air, then burned along with the normal air/fuel mixture, under certain operating conditions. The PCM-controlled EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve also controls this vapor flow.
The canister vent solenoid is located near the top of the fuel filler neck is part of the EVAP system’s leak diagnostics. The vent solenoid is normally open to allow outside air to flow through the vent, through the EVAP canister and into the fuel tank which maintains atmospheric pressure inside the fuel tank. But when energized by the PCM the vent solenoid closes and seals off the EVAP system for inspection and maintenance tests and for OBD-II leak and pressure tests.
I found that the vent line going from the fuel filler neck to a rubber hose that goes to the tank (or charcoal canister?) was rusted. In fact it was rusted enough that apparently there was a hole in it. I bought some 5/16 brake line and used my tube bender and replaced the rusted tube. I reset the code again and it hasn’t come on since. The rusted line runs right next to the plastic filler tube that goes from the fuel filler neck to the tank.

Private memorial company that solicits donations. The Navy decommissioned the ship, struck it from the lists, and then donated it to the state of Alabama (IIRC). The state probably paid towards moving it and some initial docking - but it’s a separate firm now. If no one wants the ship and is willing to pay towards it, it gets scrapped.
Some of the memorial companies are fairly well off. The USS Midway in San Diego, for instance, is well funded. Some of scraping by, like the one that has a destroyer escort moored in the Hudson at Albany, NY. The better funded ones generally have more extensive tours as they can afford to fix up access to more areas of the ship and then maintain it.

Hm. Somehow I doubt old Soviet navy guys are going to drop money on a ship owned by a Chinese bank, or a Russian bank, for that matter.
The ship Minsk in Shenzhen does not have guided tours, but still charges about $25 to let you walk around the flight deck and poke around the few places below deck that are open. The ship needs paint everywhere and the few aircraft on display have seen better days, too. I think the Soviets unloaded it on some South Korean with more money than sense, who sold it to some Chinese investors with the same problem. I’d wager it hasn’t had any real maintenance since it was first sold in 1998.

It’s a lot of work. Need to keep everything painted, restrooms and display/museum rooms maintained, and also have lighting and safety equipment installed. (And A/C running in at least part of the ship.)
One reason the big museums are running towards hangers/large buildings for displaying aircraft and tanks is that you cut down on the weathering and can display in accurate paint jobs rather than more and more coats of gray or olive drab paint.

re: #203 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate
The Navy ship museums are generally operated by private foundations/charitable groups.
Here in NYC, the Intrepid is a private foundation, and had to raise a ton of money to repaint and renovate spaces a few years back (they had to pull the ship out of the muck in the Hudson River so that they could bring her to drydock for doing the repairs, but the first attempt failed so they had to get assistance to dredge the water around the hull).
Other ships around the nation face similar issues - the need to raise funds to maintain the ships and keep exhibits current. Never ending tasks.
But that’s better than sending these historic ships to the scrappers. And more than a few have ended up there - most recently the USS Ranger since there was no one with the financial backing to take it off the Navy’s hands.

Good morning from a relatively sane corner of Texas!
I have a strong philosophy that you don’t look away. You bear witness to the Holocaust, the genocide around the world, the beatings and blood and deaths here in the U.S. I don’t shy away from even the worst of the pictures because I am going to be a damn witness to the suffering of those people. I am not going to say, “I see no reason to trouble myself with that.” There is every reason in the world to trouble myself with that.
But, I am torn between my determination to witness and absolute exhaustion with these racist assholes. It’s also personal…spousal unit is a basketball coach and we have his team with us constantly. Sunday dinner (Walking Dead, dude!), crashing with us during the week as needed. 15 young black men. We are lily white. They’re our kids. They’re very aware of Ferguson and OU and we are very aware that part of having them with us as much as possible is a form of protecting them too. I hate that having white people with them all of the time affords them a certain kind of protection. HATE it. But, I won’t deny it. Neither do they.
However, I see the looks we get when those players are being trailed by 7 white kids who think they hung the moon and they’re picking them up and holding their hands and playing tag. When they call me “mom” and throw an arm around me. It makes people happy to see us all together. So, I guess that’s our way of shutting this crap down…proving it’s all bullshit. We WILL be a family and all of those idiots can kiss my ass.
Anyway, I’m rambling. Good morning. The whole pray for your enemies goal isn’t going down too well right now. Or else my prayers are not of the forgiving kind.

This event should have had the African American citizens a little more calm in their protests because the did get the DOJ findings and a bunch of people getting kicked out of jobs.

I once had a book written by a couple who believed in preventive maintenance for cars. They had recommendations for when various components should be replaced before they crapped out. Their rationale was a properly maintained car should run for at least 100,000 miles. It was written about 25 years ago, or maybe further back than that, when 100,000 miles for a Detroit make was considered unlikely.

re: #223 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)
One thing I learned early on being a single white mother in the early 60s was that I had a lot more in common with poor women of color in the same boat than even other divorced white women in the suburbs or married ones, either, with whom I had a kind of uneasy relationship. When Black women were finally “allowed” into the same office workforce as I was, they were the ones I cultivated and encouraged and cheered on to do better things because I knew it wasn’t as easy for them as it might be for me, even up into the 1990s. I remember the racist slurs for doing that, also. One guy at the local gas co said to me, “Only G and n****** ride the bus.” When I finally got a car through the credit union, I made it a point to give the young teen who was in a DE program (HS) a ride to her bus every day. She was the only Black person in our office and she was a kid. Then I got in trouble for posting an EEOC notice on the bulletin board. After 5 yrs, I’d had enough, and was ready to get real political, in 1969, so I quit. You have to remember that I was in the South and born in the South, and had been trying to overcome my racist upbringing for some years at that point.

.@ksdknews @USATODAY as though the county police is any better? The STL County PD has as bad a record on racial profiling as FPD!— lawhawk (@lawhawk) March 12, 2015
Chief Belmar also said that they were lucky they didn’t lose two cops last night. And Ferguson protesters are lucky that the cops didn’t kill a bunch of protesters because the FPD simply can’t help itself to using excessive force whenever it suits them.
Moreover, any talk of a takeover of the FPD by the County Police ignores that the county PD is just as bad as the FPD. The numbers bear witness to the disproportionate policing of minorities by the county PD (that’s the MO AG motor vehicle stop report from 2013). It’s actually worse than FPD.
The disparity index for minority stops by the County PD: 1.5
The disparity index for minority stops by FPD: 1.37.
Numbers greater than 1 indicate over-representation. So, the County PD is even worse
Every way you cut the County PD data, they give minorities the shaft. 29% are given a warning versus a citation. 62% are given citations. For whites, the numbers are: 33% given warnings, 60.7% given citations.
The County PD isn’t the solution to Ferguson’s problem - a wholesale consolidation and elimination of all the local police departments in the area, firing top officials throughout the region, and installing new officials who aren’t putting revenue generation as the key factor in policing but community policing and public safety.

Is he psychic or just a bullshitter?

UpChuck referred to that report in his blog, without mentioning specific figures. He only said that Ferguson’s record was best in Missouri (??). If that’s true, then Missouri is a mess.

People don’t get why this is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s just brilliant.
“That is not a plan. It’s barely a concept.”
There are so many great one-liners in GotG that you have to watch it several times to catch them.

“I am Groot.”
“Well that’s just as fascinating as the first 89 times. What is wrong with Giving Tree here?”
“Well he don’t know talkin’ good like me and you, so his vocabulistics is limited to “I” and “am” and “Groot,” exclusively in that order.”
“Well I tell you what, that’s gonna wear real thin, real fast, bud.”

Is this an attempt to escape the influence of the pot-smoking libertarian college students influencing this political event?
Iowa Republicans Shake Up The Famed Straw Poll
The famous Iowa Straw Poll will have a new location in the Hawkeye State for the first time since the poll was created in 1979, the Republican Party of Iowa announced Thursday morning.
The Central Iowa Expo Grounds in Boone, Iowa will host this year’s event on August 8th.
[…]
Or maybe the GOP just doesn’t want to be seen in on the grounds of a university with a bunch of science geeks?
Anyway, Boone is only a few minutes drive west of Ames, so I don’t know if the attendance will be any different. It is west, though, and that starts getting into wingnut-land (Steve King’s district), away from the Democratic party dominated Story county (home of Ames.)
Anyway, I find it sort of ironic that the Republican governor admits this event isn’t so important to the GOP anymore.

It’s hardly the best in the state, it’s worse than average on racial profiling. Several communities around STL are as bad or worse, and the County PD is involved in that discussion as well.
But anyone claiming that the FPD is best is clearly delusional or thinks best means something other than what it really means.
Or, Chuckles thinks that FPD is best at being a bunch of racist cops who use their positions of power to subjugate and keep minorities in their place. Which, in light of his recent tweets, seems to be exactly what he has in mind.

Or maybe it’s just a matter of a university not wanting a bunch of idiots on their campus?

With Iran letter, Tom Cotton emerges as leading GOP national security hawk
From the article:
Cotton’s views on national security appear to have been shaped in large part by his military service.
“I certainly haven’t forgotten that Iran killed hundreds of troops in Iraq,” he said.
I wonder how he feels about Germany. Or Japan. Or Italy.

St. Louis police chief: No long-term injuries for 2 officers shot in Ferguson during protest - @AP
see original on twitter.comGlad to hear that the police officers won’t suffer any long lasting injuries. Hope they catch the perpetrator soon. These shootings, in my mind, do not sully the protests. People have a right to speak out when they feel wronged. That’s the American way.
