  1. I did my part here in the Piedmont region and voted for Nikki Haley. Open primary here. No reason to waste my vote in an uncontested Democratic Party primary. If it was a closed primary, I would have registered as a Republican. 

    Your mileage may vary, but something to consider. Make your voice count for something.

  2. It looks like Egypt is preparing for the inevitable exodus of Palestinians from Gaza. I think it is highly unlikely that Gazans will ever be allowed to return to Gaza if they cross the border into Egypt and out of harm’s way. Israel has given Hamas an ultimatum of releasing all hostages by Ramadan—or else. The “else” is likely to occur regardless of whether the hostages are released. 

    The collective punishment of those in Gaza for the heinous acts of Hamas will reverberate through the region for decades. American interests will not be immune from the rage generated by the Israeli government’s campaign against Gazans.  It’s the dismal tide.

  3. Today the Supreme Court will take up the issue of whether the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, after losing the Civil War, was barred by the Fourteenth Amendment from serving as President of the United States. 

  4. Trumpers are nihilists. It’s not that they believe in nothing; they don’t believe in what exists.

    Their point is they don’t have point. Their cult leader praises their lead-addled brains—so they worship him. They adore “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

    They are the lumpen-proletariat; the dismal tide. They celebrate the end of our fragile republic and welcome an authoritarian state.

    They shall not pass.

  5. I am sure it is not lost on FSU (and Clemson) they are hitched to a lower tier conference when compared to the SEC and Big 1G. The top 4 this year will be playing in the SEC and Big 1G next year. The power 5 is the power 2 next year. Clemson and FSU need their JP Morgan banker friends to scheme out a way to get them out of the ACC.

    And with a tip of the hat to @washparkhorn, there’s nothing at all “centrist” here. 

    You are right—they are right wingers and anti-Semitic as fuck. The organizer, Nerdeen Kiswani, is a Hamas apologist.  But of course, they must be commies . . .

    The idea that there’s a strain of antisemitic thought on the far left is unfounded. The idea that any antisemitism on the far left is even remotely in the ballpark of the far right — or anywhere else on the political spectrum — is just absurd bullshit. 

    Antisemitism exists. But the far left is the group least prone to it.

    Repeated for emphasis.
     

    The horseshoe theory of politics is manure for mediocre moderate minds—and, unfortunately, emboldens the far right where antisemitism seethes as a catalyst for irrational hate. The fishhook theory of politics illustrates antisemitic reality more accurately.

  8. Example of our broken system. 

    >We have an obesity epidemic in the United States.  
    >Preventive or curative obesity treatment would save Americans trillions in costs associated with obesity.
    >New drugs that curb overeating are so effective that we now see food-associated enterprises revising revenue numbers to reflect a reduction in US obesity. 

    Our broken system—charge overweight Americans more for the drugs:

  9. Delusional:

    Oprah pitching a White House run with Romney;

    Manchin trial balloon as third party candidate;

    Nancy “let me tell you about my husband trying to raw dog me before this prayer conference” Mace suggesting she is a perfect VP for Trump;

    Cenk “I was born in Turkey” YoungTurks announcing his pretend candidacy and dumbfuxks this this opens the door for Elon Muskie to become President.

    This nation has a celebrity hubris epidemic.

  10. The Pete Peterson debt cult scaremongering has poisoned any serious conversation regarding public investment in this nation and her people. 

    Household debt ≠ US Govt. debt

    As rightfully pointed out by bozo cass for decades, there is massive mal-investment by the US Govt. Those who own the legislative process ensure the Spice continues to flow to these poor investments—much of it to bad actors pushing the Pete Peterson narrative. 

    tldr-the call is coming from inside the house.
