Note: Lubbock’s gun-slinger mayor Glenn Robertson has still not asked Governor Abbott for assistance from the Texas Department of Transportation (which has a vast amount of heavy equipment based in Lubbock) or the National Guard in clearing the streets after the record blizzard earlier this week. A high percentage of residential streets are still impassable to normal traffic this morning. The local Jeep club is still out rescuing stranded motorists, while the Guard’s tracks and 6x6 trucks sit quietly gathering snow in the armory yard.
re: #8 Shiplord Kirel
I can understand Robertson not wanting the National Guard on the streets for fear Obama will seize the opportunity to federalize them, take over the city, and institute shariah law, but what is the problem with TxDoT? Are they in on the conspiracy too?

Apparently “hover-priests” are not acceptable in some places.
Filipino priest on hoverboard condemned by church
A Filipino priest has been condemned by diocese authorities, after video of him gliding around church on a hoverboard during Christmas Eve mass went viral.
The priest, who has not been named, can be seen sailing up and down aisles as churchgoers in Laguna province applaud.
“That was wrong,” the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo said in a statement on its Facebook page.
It said he greeted people and sang a Christmas song on the hoverboard and he was now out of the parish to “reflect”.
Novus Ordo, a traditionalist organization within the RCC, uploaded video of the “hover-priest” to its Facebook page, but the reaction has been mixed.

Not bad. I use mine to commute to the bus stop so it had to be large enough to carry me and my backpack yet small enough to fit into the cargo bay. The only reason I am thinking about upgrading is that after 3 (or is it 4) years I have more or less ran it into the ground.

His mom should get hit with maximum sentence for hindering arrest, aiding and abetting, conspiracy, and whatever other charges a prosecutor could come up with and serve the entire time.

This is why they are working to waive him into adult court. If they can do that then it becomes a different game and he’s looking at all 10 years in prison. In addition, they could charge him, at least in Wisconsin don’t know for sure there, with the fleeing which is itself a felony. If the DA wants to, there are ways just as if the DA doesn’t want to (see the murdered Tamir Rice) nothing will happen.

Sanger, 1939: The minister’s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
Sanger says that a minister could debunk the notion, if it arose, that the clinics aimed to “exterminate the Negro population.” She didn’t say that she wanted to “exterminate” the black population. The Margaret Sanger Papers Project at New York University says that this quote has “gone viral on the Internet,” normally out of context, and it “doesn’t reflect the fact that Sanger recognized elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow south, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim.”

AP Poll: Christian Liberties More Vital Than Muslim Rights
Americans are more likely to say protecting religious liberties of Christians is important than to say the same for Muslims, according to a new poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
…
But they’re significantly more likely to say so of some groups than others. While 82 percent of Americans say that it’s extremely or very important that Christians be allowed to freely practice their religion in the United States, just 61 percent say the same for Muslims.

It’s like living in a rain forest. Without the beauty and wildlife. YUCK. It’s supposed to stop tomorrow and then clear up and cool off for a week at least.
I have a friend who just relocated from the UK to Atlanta area for the next 3 years.
She had to take her driving test this morning for her US license. She said it was “interesting”.

Given Israel’s habit of aggressively spying on everyone, spying on Israel is fair game. Not to mention the fact that the NSA spies on important nations as a matter of course, if for no other reason than in order to ensure that the president is kept informed.

Just saw a report on MSNBC that Couch and his mother are still in Mexico (detention facility in Guadalajara) and won’t be returning for 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on how fast Mexican authorities want to go.

re: #86 sagehen
Some states, like my own, don’t have a statute of limitations for felonies. I’m defending a case of alleged fraud that occurred in 2007.
Screw the assholes who are running Texas.
The State of Texas continued its scorched-earth strategy in dealing with Planned Parenthood this week by stopping more than half a million dollars in federal funding the organization uses for HIV prevention and screening across the Greater Houston area.
That money, some $600,000 every year, comes from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but is administered by state health officials. And for nearly three decades, that money has gone to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast to fund HIV testing and counseling, condom distribution and referral services to connect anyone who has the virus with specialized care.
That will end on December 31, when the organization’s current contract is set to expire, according to a tersely worded letter Planned Parenthood received late Monday from the Texas Department of State Health Services. “There will be no further renewals of this contract,” the letter states, without further explanation.

Needless to say, this explanation did not go over well with my family at Christmas.
re: #55 lawhawk
Yeah, this would be karma. He got a slap on the wrist for killing four people in DUI, blaming his upbringing. His mom should get hit with maximum sentence for hindering arrest, aiding and abetting, conspiracy, and whatever other charges a prosecutor could come up with and serve the entire time. I’m sure prosecutors will see what they can do with the mom’s charges.
I bet the little creep freaks out big time just with 120 days Just think how many times he will be pissing his pants when others in the jail give him shit. That kid has never had to be around anyone other than the elite most likely so, this could be a huge penalty to him. I agree it is not enough…but I have a feeling he will screw up again and get no breaks in the future. I hope he doesn’t kill anyone in the meantime.
Mom should be hit hard. She and daddy created the little monster. And mommy took off with junior to hide him. I bet she is the biggest excuse maker for her little darling so time to pay for poor parenting momma. I wish they could charge the father with something too. The whole family needs a good swift kick in the ass.

And now the mom and killer are reportedly fighting extradition. Good luck with that one.
Ethan Couch and his mother, Tonya Couch, filed a “legal writ” to remain in Mexico after being caught in a resort town south of the border this week, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Wednesday morning. The pair, who had been on the run for several weeks after it appeared Ethan may have violated his parole, had been set to be shipped back to Texas on Wednesday night.
“They’re trying to fight being brought back somehow,” Sheriff Dee Anderson said. “It’s just a continuing string of what we’ve seen all along. We’re patient people. We’ll be waiting.”

Nor does he feel the need to answer simple follow up questions on how he plans to actually enact all these promises…
Did you know that NOBODY talked about building a wall until The Donald said it?
re: #230 Backwoods_Sleuth

re: #214 ObserverArt
I’ve been thinking that for a couple months now.
Some are saying he is purposely saying this crap to get out of the race, but it works and his numbers and popularity go up. Who knows…I find all of this surreal.
I do think it is a bad sign of the mental health of our country.
I have been amazed ever since he started rising in the polls. It’s not just “he’s not a politician”. His speeches are nothing but crude, ignorant, arrogant self-promotion.
I cannot grasp how anyone can hear him say, “When I’m President, we’ll be winning so much you’ll get tired of winning!” and not just laugh.

My rule is “All Hitler quotes on the Internet are fake unless you have a direct link to the original document”
I’m also not liking Hitler quotes in general unless you can put them side by side with an in-context quote from a contemporary person, and document each one.
There’s another wingnut meme with a fake Hitler quote and a fake Hillary quote next to each other. But both quotes are fake.
Addendum: I have placed relevant info in the metadata of the original.

I had not thought this many Americans were so easily duped, so hungry to be led by a Strong Man who promises to hurt all the people they’re afraid of, so easily swayed by such a ridiculously over-the-top buffoon.

My opinion on his supporters is they are abject cowards. Afraid of everything. Even as they are armed to the teeth. They need protection.

And he stuck by that right until he decided to say wages needed to be higher. The flip-flopping goes unremarked upon by his low-info/fact-free supporters.

The GOP electorate have been primed for years to blame the press for asking ‘Gotcha’ questions when they try to hold politicians to what they’ve said, or ask them about discrepancies. We’re now seeing the effect of unmooring a large chunk of the population not only from fact, but also from questioning.

Some time during this month of Our Lord, December 2015, I have allowed myself to think, have been forced to consider the possibility, that The Donald might actually win the nomination.
It’s a big step for me.
