    The Trump Card...

    That's not really a viable option for the general public. The media and the public are far more intertwined and mutually implicated than either chooses to acknowledge. As Brooke Gladstone argues in her graphic book "The Influencing Machine," maybe all we can really hope for is is more explicit...

    I don't need to. Her Facebook page was deluged with that very sentiment. False equivalency much?

    Kansas "Bloodbath" Terror Attack By Christians Foiled

    Yes it is, assuming you are into straw man hypotheticals. But rather then go off on a wild tangent, which requires fantastical speculation, it might be better to stick a little closer to the facts and circumstances as we currently know them. "How were these terrorists radicalized ? Was it...

    He was protesting for Trump (and very likely against Dittmar who is a big gun control advocate), so having Trump signs displayed shouldn't seem all that odd. No reports that he stood there and and stared for the entire 12 hours into the campaign office. The only reference of that was in Su...

    I condemn it, too, of course, But I'm not sure sarcasm should be off limits as a mechanism to deal with it. It's such a retarded and despicable act that it's easy to look at it, shake your head, and make a joke. No one was hurt, which is the main thing. Unfortunately, Trump will be blamed for...

    ?? EnerBurn (DPF) ??

    There really isn't any magic bullet to get rid of the DPF. Better to learn it well. EnerBurn is basically 90% light aromatic naptha and 10% ferrocene, which is an iron-based additive. It leaves behind little red deposits in the combustion chamber, which is iron oxide. This causes a catalytic...

    Media coverage in and of itself is not the whole story. It's what the media does with that coverage. Once we got it down to the two presumptive nominees of the major parties, things changed dramatically in the way the press covered the two candidates with regard to tone. This article from the...

    Aren't you going to condemn this event?

    Wow. I wonder what retard of an editor wrote that headline. He wasn't "caught" nor was me "menacing." He was standing there for 12 hours. It was't like he was trying to get away with standing there for 12 hours without getting caught. And in order to be menacing you have to serve or act as a...

    Kansas "Bloodbath" Terror Attack By Christians Foiled

    That's the problem with the Westboro Baptist Church, and the problem many (tho certainly not all) Christians (and especially Baptists) who are not members of that church have, in that they are, in fact, Christians. They certainly don't represent all Christians, or even a majority of them, just...

    There will never be any hard evidence that her email server was hacked (other than that one time in 2011 when her tech guru saw someone using the computer, moving the mouse and opening and files, and it wasn't him, so he quickly shut it down - there was a second time where Hillary thought the...

    Kansas "Bloodbath" Terror Attack By Christians Foiled

    Good job on finding a way to connect these guys and Trump. Because that doesn't come off looking like you're pushing an anti-Trump agenda at all. The article doesn't mention Trump, or Christianity for that matter. Or did you make the leap from the name of their little militia group, The...

    It comes down to likelihood and probability. As Comey noted, "Hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact." And the fact that she took her BlackBerry everywhere she went, including “sending and receiving...

    Podesta or anyone in the Clinton campaign actually claiming that one or more of them are actually faked or altered would be the first clue. That hasn't happened yet.

    Original article at the Charlotte Observer Virtually the same article at the Daily Mail, but with better picture layout. No suspects, yet, but I'm guessing that they aren't hard core Republicans. Especially since they scrawled "NAZI REPUBLICANS LEAVE TOWN OR ELSE" on the building next door...

    NM GOP Resorts To Voter Intimidation With Threats

    It is true that whether or not someone has voted is public record (though how someone voted is not). And the concept of insinuating that your neighbors will find out if you don’t vote isn’t new (vote shaming). A field study experiment (“Social Pressure and Voter Turnout: Evidence from a...

    If, in fact, that is a fact, then it might call into question the accuracy and authenticity. But not necessarily. The story above does not call into question the accuracy or authenticity of the leaked emails. It only exposes how one of the emails was altered after the fact for a "news" report...

    Here's a pretty interesting read on why the leaked emails shouldn't be ignored by the press, even though the press is thus far pretty much ignoring them. It plainly states why they're being ignored, as... "But who’s going to wade through thousands of emails, when a hot mike on Access Hollywood...
