Welcome to the modern world of situational ethics, where what’s sauce for the goose is not appropriate for the gander. Here are students-of-color demanding that they not be paired as roomies with white students, inagine the reverse. Can’t wait until they start demanding ‘people of color only’ drinking fountains and bathrooms.

We’ve discussed the topic before. I referred to it as their Operation Himmler, false flag ops to create scenarios to their benefits just as Alinsky and Lenin did. The Left has launched its campaign to destroy the US as it is and has been, turning it into yet another People’s Utopia.
I know a number of LEA who deeply believe that Washington is instigating attacks on police, trying to seperate local police from the public it serves and replace them with a nationalized force. By whipping the malcontents into a fury so thst they’ll force LEA to respond and then chastising the policevfor doing so DC gets to have DoJ takevover and remodel their PDs – a Rat NOLA mayor got DoJ to take over NOPD and now Baltimore PD is getting Lynched.
This isn’t an election, it’s a thinly disguised coup.

I just listened to this chat with Milo on the Alt-Right 😊
Two more points where the alt-right speaks my mind. It doesn’t pussyfoot around with looking for common ground with the devil and it calls idiocy out as idiocy. They refuse to be cowed by the question which is perpetually posed to them “When did you stop beating your wife?” instead they answer with a simple response “I reject the premise of your question.” and they go on to attack the idiocy and hypocrisy of the premise of the question.
The left and the establishment right has called Trump and his supporters misogynists, racists, bigots, neo-nazis, alarmists, xenophobic, homophobic, vulgararians, white supremacists, hateful, uneducated, dumb, unwashed masses, islamophobic, violence prone, trailer trash, along with a myriad of other insults for over a year now.
When Trump describes Frank Luntz as “a total stupid fat clown” because Luntz is exactly that, then those same hypocrites who have been hurling insults at Trump and his supporters, wipe their brows with silk hankies and wring their hands with indignation that this isn’t a campaign ending faux-pas for Trump and that his mean spirited dopey supporters don’t abandon him and embrace Hillary.
I sort of feel like we are the captives openly mocking the hostage takers because we know something that they don’t know. Long enough we have been held captive by the promises of the right and the accusations of the left.
Quoth the alt-right “nevermore”. We literally have nothing to lose.

“I reject the premise of your question.” That is the perfect response to MOST of the statements put forth by the Democrat supporters. When a discussion starts, they state something that obviously isn’t true and then go on to base their argument on that. So the Rep supporter spends his time refuting the stupid lie. Donna Brazile is an expert at that and she just keeps her big mouth yakking on even when they are done with her. I mute when I see her fat face now.

We have learned again and again that the Clintons direct the narrative. So this photo has me scratching my head a bit. Why would TheBeast have SS park where she would be seen with her “too unsteady/unhealthy” to get into an SUV unassisted stool? Why would the vehicle not be equipped with a retractable step bar?
I can only come up one answer, Hillary’s health is as bad as it appears to be but she is hoping to let that distract from her money laundering Clinton Foundation and upcoming email release by Assange because those two things are going to be undeniably devastating. (Not to mention Huma’s terrorist ties and their commercial value to Trump.)
That said.
Why would Hillary suddenly care about undeniably devastating information being released about her?
When has it ever mattered in the past. “What difference does it make”
The head of the FBI stood before the American people and said HRC is a deceitful, incompetent, techno challenged dullard who endangered the lives of Americans and made vulnerable classified information to the enemies of America and if she were not HRC there would be legal consequence to her actions.
And it didn’t matter.

We punched the outgoing message traffic on a KSR-35 terminal that produced a paper copy and the outgoing message was cut on a long strip of 8-level tape. We had to hang the tape on a peg and the machine would read it at a whole buncha feet per second – sometime turning it into confetti in the process if the tape twisted or nound, making us start over from scratch.
One day we were told we had theee says off with pay as they were swapping out our system. We came back on Tuesday and there was a whole new IBM system that took up less than a quarter of the space. No migration of any data, all new, all shiny, all scheduled to be obsolete within 5 years.

FBI’s stingray quickly found suspect after local cops’ device couldn’t
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/08/to-find-suspect-city-cops-ran-stingray-for-hours-then-called-in-fbi/
OAKLAND, Calif.—According to new government affidavits filed earlier this week, the Oakland Police Department (OPD) used its stingray without a warrant in 2013 for several hours overnight as a way to locate a man accused of being involved in shooting a local police officer. The OPD called in the FBI when that effort was unsuccessful. The FBI was somehow able to locate the suspect in under an hour, and he surrendered to OPD officers.

The information on what the device is and does in theory is out there on the Internet. It just isn’t pointed to I assume. I also have heard people getting in trouble for pointing things out when other people don’t know what their looking for.
In a way it ties to what I wrote earlier; you have a general population of consumers that buy a microwave oven and can even program it to heat foods in creative ways the simulate cooking over a fire. Then you have a smaller number of people that can design and build a microwave oven based upon plans they are given, but they can’t boil water to save their lives. And finally you have very few people that are able to design and build the microwave to produce cooked food because they know what cooked food is supposed to look like in the first place.
The “stingray” is not doing anything magical. It’s just not doing anything the first group was aware could be done.
