The deficit last year was $440 billion, which is well under $1 million a minute. Rand’s trying to sort of talk rationally, but he refuses to make enough sense.
“I hope you’ll consider me at the election.” Thus endeth the Paul campaign.
No Republican has ever won the WH without Ohio, and Kasich won’t change that.

I also think Hillary (or Bernie) would win the general election. However, the GOP really needs to experience huge, crushing losses in presidential elections to have any chance at reform, and I don’t see losses of those magnitude occurring.
My recap:
Carly’s bringing Petreaus out of mothballs, but she’s going to snub Putin, even though she knows him well.
Christie’s going to hide under his bed, ‘cause those toddlers are scary, but then he’s going to bomb the shit out of everything.
Rubio is going to do…whatever it takes, or something.
Kasich is going to mesmerize all foes with his dramatic hand gestures and solemnity.
Jeb! is going to call his dad and ask, “Did I do good, Daddy?”
Cruz is going to see if he can stick his head any further up Trump’s ass, and then he’s also going to bomb the shit out of everything—carpetbombs, but not on cities, wherever the ENEMY is (good luck finding them Teddy.)
Rand is going to bask in the glory of his few minutes of coherence (5 minute rule notwithstanding) and also call his dad and ask, “Did I do good, Daddy?”
Carson is going to pat himself on the back with his “gifted hands” because he actually pronounced Mosul correctly once. Then he’s going to take a nap.
TRUMP is going to go watch all the internet polls proclaiming him the winner of the debate and all other things in the universe.

Donald Trump will take the mic at a Mesa rally on Wednesday after an introduction from another controversial political figure: Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
This is the second time Arpaio will have participated in an Arizona event for the Republican presidential front-runner. But the sheriff said he has not prepared remarks for his opening act.
“You know me, I don’t prepare,” he told The Arizona Republic on Tuesday. “I just get out there and wing it. I’m sure that the situation with terrorism is now on the forefront — especially with Trump — and, of course, illegal immigration is still there.”
The Trump rally will be held inside a private hangar at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

Doors open at 10 a.m. and the rally begins at noon.

“Targeted carpet bombing.” This is the sort of shit you get from somebody who reads a Tom Clancy novel and immediately thinks he’s a military genius. “Targeted carpet bombing” is an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms so prominent that any military officer would laugh himself silly hearing it. Carpet bombing is for when you don’t care what you hit, you just want to reduce an entire area to rubble. The only way you “target” it is in choosing the size of the area you want to unleash your indiscriminate carnage upon.

turns out he has a big patch of hair on top of his head, but he is bald all around it. he combs some from his left side up to cover the gap from the hair on the side to the hair on top, and then of course there’s that long thatch that starts way in the back that gets combed over on top of everthing else and ends up on his forehead
oh, the debate? the usual BS

I also think Hillary (or Bernie) would win the general election. However, the GOP really needs to experience huge, crushing losses in presidential elections to have any chance at reform, and I don’t see losses of those magnitude occurring.
If Trump, Cruz or Carson can’t do losses of that magnitude we are truly, deeply fucked. People completely unqualified or unhinged (or both) that they shouldn’t be elected dog catcher, and they’re not going to lose a presidential election by enough to start to fix the GOP?

Yesterday I told you all I was having trouble with my wireless router. Today, I decided to test out the wired connection with my laptop, and it seems solid. Then, I figured my WiFi was getting interference from other routers in the apartment building, probably because we were all using channel 6. So, I’m testing out using channel 1. So far, it seems OK.
But, just in case, I’ve ordered a new wireless router, a Netgear model that will have an English interface. No harm in having a back up.

Though I am not particularly welcoming to what Abrams did to ST, supposedly the Disney directive for SW kept the franchise more on point, from a fan perspective.
Disney’s operation on this is big and straight forward - 3 movies from now to 2020. Total revenues for all SW franchise streams will probably be $25 billion from this Friday through 2020. This is a major, probably the major, single franchise in the entire entertainment industry. Many thousands in the movie business will have jobs over the next 7 or 8 years because of this business.
So, that’s why this is a big deal.

Yes, the gun-f*ckers are winning the public debate:
POLL: Most Now Oppose an Assault Weapons Ban
A majority of Americans oppose banning assault weapons for the first time in more than 20 years of ABC News/Washington Post polls, with the public expressing vast doubt that the authorities can prevent “lone wolf” terrorist attacks and a substantial sense that armed citizens can help.
Just 45 percent in this national survey favor an assault weapons ban, down 11 percentage points from an ABC/Post poll in 2013 and down from a peak of 80 percent in 1994. Fifty-three percent oppose such a ban, the most on record.
Indeed, while the division is a close one, Americans by 47-42 percent think that encouraging more people to carry guns legally is a better response to terrorism than enacting stricter gun control laws. Divisions across groups are vast, underscoring the nation’s gulf on gun issues.

A weak government and a strong leader. The key to success.
This idea that somehow we would all be safer if only we all carried a gun 24/7 everywhere we go is simply an idea that is gaining popularity by the constant repetition.
I lived in Japan for 3 years. Almost no one in the nation has a gun. I was much safer there than here in the US. And it’s not because the Japanese are not violent people. They are people like everybody else. But they have been spared a gun fetish. And there are almost no gun deaths in a country of 125 million people.
The more Trump says that he wants to ban Muslims the more Americans will accept it.
Because they will hear it over and over.
Trump knows this.
The establishment outlets are full of highly educated people who lament Donald Trump.
They say he just repeats a few simple things over and over.
Yes.
And that’s why Trump does it.
He knows - he’s made his name money on this - that by repeating something he can sell it to you.
Donald Trump is a salesman. A real estate salesman in particular, but a salesman in general.
Trump demonizing Muslims is the same strategy used by Coke to sell sugar water - simply repeat something enough and you will convince people.

Last night’s debate was such a fact-free clown show that anyone keeping track would have been overwhelmed by the deluge of derp.
From simple stuff, like knowing who the current head of state in Jordan is, to knowing that the existing US strategy involves going after Daesh and partnering/embedding with Iraqi forces.
The clowns got it all wrong.
You can’t carpet bomb Daesh out of existence, not without killing massive amounts of civilians. That’s what happens when a terror group operates in densely populated civilian areas. And you have to be specific where you’re targeting - let’s start with what countries are involved.
No fly zones to fight Daesh? Really? They don’t have any helicopters, let alone fighter jets or anything larger than a commercial drone. That’s a strategy?
Fight Daesh wherever they are? That’s a strategy?
Oh, and Gov. Christie, in your canned response, King Abdullah is the head of state in Jordan, not Hussein (who died years ago).
Paul, Cruz and others who claimed that all the terrorism in the US since 9/11 was through immigration are also wrong. One of the SB shooters was born/raised in the US. Nidal Hussein was likewise born/raised in US (and was in the US Army when he committed mass murder).
And the elephant in the room is that no one called any of them on that the PP shooter engaged in domestic terrorism, because that would destroy the Other that the GOP is fighting - Islamophobia. Admitting that there are domestic terrorists - right wing domestic terrorists at that - undercuts the threat posed by a handful of terrorists who claim to kill in the name of Islam.

The fact that not all terrorists are Muslims doesn’t even enter the conversation. See also the PP shooter. The Charleston church killer. Etc.
The GOP is determined to demonize Muslims and immigrants, all while turning a blind eye to home grown right wing ~Christian~ terrorists.

We didn’t carpet bomb Iraq. Airpower has changed significantly from where we engaged in total war and carpet bombing entire cities to where we now have ability to target with precision a single building/structure from great distances (GPS, laser- and other targeting systems). So, it’s not necessary to carpet bomb - having B-52s load up with a full load of dumb bombs and line them up in Linebacker formation bombing runs.
Cruz (and most of the rest of the GOP) is appealing to the chairborne rangers and Islamophobes who can’t get enough of the clash of civilizations, as long as it doesn’t involve them fighting directly.

“It gave us greater tools and we are seeing those tools work right now in San Bernardino. In particular, what it did is the prior program only covered a relatively narrow slice of phone calls,” Cruz added.
If that qualifies as a “best line”, then the instant raman in the vending machine at a college dorm qualifies as “gourmet food.”

Former governor of NJ comes out swinging:
The Republican Party Must Defeat Trump Now
[…]
It is no longer a stretch to compare Donald Trump, and some of the other current Republican candidates for president, to some of the worst dictators in history. Trump especially is employing the kind of hateful rhetoric and exploiting the insecurities of this nation, in much the same way that allowed Hitler and Mussolini to rise to power in the lead-up to World War II. The parallels are chilling. In pre-WWII Germany, the economy was in ruins, people were scared, and they wanted someone to blame. Today we find ourselves with a nation of people who feel under attack both physically and economically and are fearful. The middle class has never fully recovered economically from the Great Recession. Income disparity is growing, but demonizing with a broad-brush all “immigrants,” forgetting that nearly all of our ancestors were exactly that at one point in the past 400 years, is both dangerous and contrary to all this nation stands for. After Paris and San Bernardino, attacking Muslims, the vast majority of whom are peaceful adherents to their faith, has become fashionable.

In US, poverty dampens genetic influence on IQ
An analysis of data gathered from 14 independent studies indicates that the influence of genes on intelligence varies according to people’s social class in the US, but not in Western Europe or Australia. The findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
Research suggests that genes and environment both play a critical role in shaping a person’s intelligence. A longstanding hypothesis in the field of behavioral genetics holds that our potential intelligence, as set by our genes, is more fully expressed in environments that are supportive and nurturing, but is suppressed in conditions of poverty and disadvantages. While some studies have provided evidence supporting this hypothesis, others have not.
[…]
Tucker-Drob and Bates analyzed data from a total of 24,926 pairs of twins and siblings who had participated in studies conducted in the United States, Australia, England, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands.
The researchers found that the relationship between genes, socioeconomic status, and intelligence depended on which country the participants were from.
“The hypothesis that the genetic influence on intelligence depends on socioeconomic status was not supported in studies outside of the US,” says Tucker-Drob. “In the Netherlands, there was even evidence suggestive of the opposite effect.”
Importantly, the meta-analysis did not show any evidence that other factors - such as age of testing, whether the tests measured achievement and knowledge or intelligence, whether the tests were of a single ability or a composite cognitive measures - influenced the results.
The researchers suggest that the stark difference between the US and other countries might be explained by differences in how low socioeconomic status in experienced in the countries. That is, the relatively robust healthcare and social-welfare programs in Western Europe and Australia may buffer some of the negative environmental effects typically associated with poverty.
According to Bates, a primary question for future research will be to identify the specific aspects of a society that “break the link between social class and the expression of genetic potentials for intellectual development.”
“Once such characteristics are identified, they could inform policies directed at narrowing test score gaps and promoting all of the positive consequences of higher IQ, such as health, wealth, and progress in science, art, and technology,” he concludes.
The title of the PR I think is not worded very well. If I understand this research properly, what is being shown is not a dampening of genetic influence by poverty but rather but rather just an effect. In other words, is the glass half full or half empty, i.e. perhaps a better way to state the research is the lack of poverty allows genetic influences to be more prominent.

Attention, all you couch potatoes:
Lifespan — genetic background and physical activity
[…]
Adulthood physical activity did not increase lifespan
Vigorous physical activity in adulthood did not increase lifespan neither in animals nor in human twins, even though physical activity is well-known to have various positive effects on health, physical fitness, and physical function. Based on both our animal and human findings, we propose that genetic factors might partly explain the frequently observed associations between high physical activity level and later reduced mortality in humans. Our finding covers vigorous physical activity started at adulthood, hence physical activity started during childhood may have different effects. Thus, it will be critical to determine whether physical activity has a positive effect on lifespan when commenced early in life.

There was the famous quote about how the amount of time that running adds to your like equals the amount of time you spend running.
I agree that physical activity can help improve the quality of life: when I ran a lot, it took me a lot less time to fall asleep at night, for example. And in general, I just feel a lot better after having physically exerted myself for around 40 minutes, even if it is just brisk walking or cycling.

BREAKING: San Bernardino shooters did not post support for jihad on social media: FBI

So, all the talk about how they radicalized and talked about their radicalization or used social media turned out to be complete BS/supposition.
Gun control, ammosexual style.
Indian-American woman visited by police after asking to buy AR-15 ammo at Dick’s Sporting Goods
Sim Sangha, a 24-year-old firearms instructor from Fremont, asked an employee of Dick’s Sporting Goods about buying eight boxes of ammunition for her military-style rifle, reported KNTV-TV.
Two days later, police visited her home for questioning after that store employee alerted them.

Not that it matters by this point, the “wait for all the facts!” crowd has already been running for weeks with the insistence that these two were ISIS operatives pulling off the first successful act of “radical Islamic terrorism” on US soil in ages. Any information now that contradicts that will be brushed off as shadowy forces in the administration forcing the FBI to lie to cover up “the truth.”
Prokop writes:
But the fact that elites aren’t yet even trying very hard to block a likely disastrous Trump or Cruz nomination is still pretty weird, and there seem to be two main reasons for it. First, there’s a sense of complacency, bred by the long-held certainty that Trump’s long-held lead will vanish, that has lasted far too long by now. Second, elites just really don’t know what to do — if money and endorsements won’t work, they may be genuinely unsure what does.
He adds this graph to support his case:

Because Trump is a Winner:
Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump makes plenty of controversial statements, but his poll numbers keep climbing. According to Trump Winery’s General Manager Kerry Woolard, so do sales of Trump wine.
“Overall we’re seeing about a 300-percent increase in our business across the board,” Woolard said. “Particularly as it pertains to online, which I think is directly indicative of the exposure that we’re getting from him being on the campaign.”
Woolard also credits some of the growth to awards won by Trump wines and several recent national magazine articles.She says some winery patrons express appreciation for Trump the candidate, while others express dismay, or just stay away.

Wut.
Seriously, what?
It is some how Obama’s fault that, after the GOP has been exaggerating the threat of terrorism for a decade, and particularly ramping up the scare-mongering during the GOP nomination, it is somehow his fault for a decision made by the authorities in a State?
I literally can’t even.
Did the FBI come out and say that the Farook and his wife made FB comments about jihad? Or was it just sources said?
re: #440 lawhawk
Christie has been fighting ISIS and terrorism for his whole life as a federal prosecutor, so he should know.

re: #445 Danack
We’d just have to ignore the near daily Swatting and bomb hoaxes occurring on Christie’s watch in NJ. It got to the point where the Asbury Park Press has stopped reporting on these for fear of spurring copycats.
Heck, this past weekend there was a bomb threat made against the Shops at Riverside in Hackensack NJ (one of the high-end malls in the nation), causing a shutdown for a couple of hours while bomb squads searched the place.

Most of Christie’s career was built on busting mid-level organized crime guys. One of the Jersey papers had a story about that some time ago. Never got the big fish, however.
re: #446 Jenner7
Did the FBI come out and say that the Farook and his wife made FB comments about jihad? Or was it just sources said?
It was almost entirely “sources say.” You know, like “sources said” Biden was gearing up to run…right up until the day he announced he wasn’t. Then all the “moderates” who’d developed wood over a potential Biden/ Clinton showdown accused anyone they could think of of forcing him out of contention.
Contrary to previous reports that suspected San Bernardino mass shooters Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik posted their support for jihad on social media, the FBI announced Wednesday that the pair, in fact, did not. The agency’s chief, James Comey, told the media on Wednesday that the couple only established their jihadi support in private emails and messages. “We have found no evidence of a posting on social media by either of them,” Comey reportedly said.
re: #450 SteveMcGaziBolaGate RN
Christie was an effective federal prosecutor, but in highlighting his criminal prosecution of terrorists he actually suggests that the crime-fighting approach to terrorism works.
That’s the opposite of what he’d want to say, which is killing/stopping terrorists overseas.
Of course, the other issue is that most of the terrorism prosecutions took place not in NJ, but over in the ED or SD of NY - particularly in Mary Jo White’s SDNY office.
re: #451 Targetpractice
Thanks for answering.
I can’t believe this. We had a three hour debate about how his wife was posting support for jihad and we couldn’t do anything about it because Obama. Damn. Our media blows.
Morning Joe is apparently spinning some conspiracy theory about Cruz and Trump making a deal before the debate.

No, you didn’t learn that from Patton Oswalt, it’s a bunch of bullshit that you made up to attack Patton Oswalt.
What I learned from @PattonOswalt today: (1) All Jews who aren’t left are neocons; (2) Socialism means being really rich and voting Sanders.

US businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday lost his bid before the British Supreme Court to stop a wind farm from being built off his Scottish golf resort.
Trump had argued that the 11-turbine offshore project, approved by the Scottish government in 2013, would spoil the view from the links at his resort at Balmedie, but he lost two attempts to put a stop to it in Scottish courts before Supreme Court justices unanimously dismissed his appeal Wednesday.
re: #526 ObserverArt
I suppose this all falls under Republican trustworthiness. Right?
No, it falls under “Restoring Fear”, in this case the fear most senators need to have about crossing their party leadership if the chamber is to function.
re: #535 The Vicious Babushka
From what I understand (from my years at FreeRepublic), all Jews are genetically and traditionally liberal, and the only Conservatives are recent converts, hence the “Neo-Conservative” label.
I think that’s a good summary. I actually think it’s sort of cute that there are these Bush I era guys who are AGHAST at the turn their party has taken towards internment camp stylings, and may in fact be accurately recognizing the inchoate form of a “stab in the back” myth taking shape.
I mean, who could have predicted?

Ya, Ben doesn’t share a philosophy with Kristol…other than wanting to start preemptive wars in the middle east…
But Buchanan’s favorite targets are what he calls neoconservatives (read: mainstream conservatives), who are “bent on reckless wars, global free trade and open borders.” In the latest issue of his magazine, Buchanan also weaves in his favorite anti-Semitic canard, that neocons are driven by concern for the Jews and want “to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel.” “We believe the great conservative movement has been hijacked and put into services that would appall the Founding Fathers,” Buchanan told the Washington Times in an interview about the magazine. “Neocons are the useful idiots of the liberal establishment,” Buchanan reiterated in his Dec. 30, 2002, column.

But first, he will “target carpetbomb” the wind farm. Then he will annex Scotland and invade another country, to be named later (following a focus group by his new BFF, Frank Luntz, who at one time was a loser and a slob) for being mean to him.

I don’t think we should hold that passage against Ben Shaprio, though, as it was in service to the righteous cause of smacking down Patrick Buchanan. Bad as Shapiro is, Buchanan is even worse. I find its best to hold fire on the lesser of two evils when said lesser evil is attacking the greater evil instead of you.
So, what’d we learn from the GOP debate last night?
Christie still thinks the year is 1999 (thinking Hussein is still king in Jordan).
Cruz thinks it’s 1972 (thinking that carpet bombing is a thing).
Trump thinks he’s in Braveheart and wishing that prima nocta is a thing.
Fiorina thinks everyone has forgotten her stint at HP and LU from 1995 to 2005.
Jeb wants people to forget his brother was president from 2001 to 2009.
Let’s do… the time… warp… again.

Ben Shapiro hating on Pat Buchanan makes him (Ben) a NEO-CONSERVATIVE.

My point was that he was defending neoconservatism and saying that it was mainstream conservatism back in 2003, but now he’s claiming that he isn’t a neoconservative.
The funny thing is if anyone wrote that column today, they would be ran out of the party as a RINO. Take this paragraph:
Buchanan holds immigrants in contempt. Not just illegal immigrants — even some who immigrate legally are not fit to be Americans in Buchanan’s eyes. In his book, “The Death of the West,” Buchanan writes that Mexican immigrants are problematic because they are “not only from another culture, but of another race,” and that “different races are far more difficult to assimilate than different cultures.” This is plain un-American. The color of your skin or the racial background of your parents should never disqualify you from becoming a true American. This is the most diverse nation on Earth, even if Buchanan would prefer that it not be.
re: #531 iossarian
Do I have it right that there is now a little war going on between different right-wing factions over whether the term “neo-conservative” is an anti-Semitic slur?
I don’t know, but it’s always been so IMO. Back in the bad old days of Bush The Deciderer, about seven times out of ten when some leftist would rant about “Neocons” they were into THE JUICE CONTROL OUR FOREIGN POLICY11! a couple of sentences later. It’s always been a gateway drug to Jew Hate for some.

That’s odd. I never saw it that way. “Neocons” referred to the folks on the Right whose foreign policy was interventionist, while “Paleocons” were isolationist. Neocons bought into the common postwar Liberal belief that our job was World Cop and Making The World Safe For Democracy. I consider Dick Cheney a neocon, same for Condoleeza Rice.

“We only do (everything) to protect Israel (read: Jews).”
There’s two ways to read Neocon, the rational way, and the emotional way. Journalists and academics wrote about the former, which is what you’re describing. People ranting on political forums were in the latter camp often enough to notice.

This seems right to me (I know this won’t be seen since there is a new thread). There was a lot to do with Francis Fukuyama’s “End of History” position that placed America as the last remaining superpower. Neo-cons wanted to use that position to reinvent the world in their image.

The fact that not all terrorists are Muslims doesn’t even enter the conversation. See also the PP shooter. The Charleston church killer. Etc.
The GOP is determined to demonize Muslims and immigrants, all while turning a blind eye to home grown right wing ~Christian~ terrorists.
I know. It’s like saying “Not all Catholics are IRA terrorists, but all IRA terrorists are Catholic, so why should we trust The Pope when he says he believes in peace?”
