What Hillary Will Do

      No Comments on What Hillary Will Do

Imagine: We already know that Hillary is the third Obama term. She will continue what he has started. This means, in no specific order: – Further mid-east adventurism, spilling blood and spending treasure with no clear goals. – Further degrading our relationship with Russia. Funny how four years ago Russia was no big threat when Romney brought them up, but… Read more »

Rain, Rain, Go Away (And Health, and Taxes)

Ugh There’s been more rain lately than articles on CNN and WaPo about how crazy we are to wonder about Hillary’s health. Fortunately my area has not flooded, but I feel for the folks in neighboring Louisiana. It was a good move for Hillary to visit them over the last we- oh, she didn’t? She went to a Hollywood fundraiser?… Read more »

DNC E-Mail Leaks

      No Comments on DNC E-Mail Leaks

I wanted to take a few days to let the information settle and see how the Convention started before commenting on the DNC’s leaked e-mails. I have a few thoughts: It won’t impact the election. While people are rightly outraged and Bernie supporters are swearing up and down they won’t vote for Hillary — this won’t make a dent in… Read more »

Post-RNC Thoughts

      No Comments on Post-RNC Thoughts

Despite Media, A Good Week for Trump Let’s just do this the way I do book reviews: Good, Bad, Ugly. The Good Trump’s Family — young, healthy, energetic, well-spoken. His kids gave great speeches without any major (or really, minor) glitches or trip-ups. Despite the media focus on Melania Trump’s “plagiarism”, the speech itself was good and well received —… Read more »

Intent, Cowards, E-Mails

      No Comments on Intent, Cowards, E-Mails

Many times I’ve written that intent is important for many crimes, and it should be — the concept of mens rea, “guilty mind”, is common in western laws. While not encoded as a constitutional protection it should well be: breaking a law a reasonable person wouldn’t think is a law, on accident and resulting in no harm… why waste time… Read more »

Polls Are Rigged

      1 Comment on Polls Are Rigged

Math Wins Update: I have received searches related to “are the polls rigged for hillary clinton”. Yes. Yes they are — at worst, Trump is tied with Clinton. Expect this bias to go away as the election approaches and nobody wants to be the poll that was wrong by 10-15 points. (Note, rather than link to each poll individually I… Read more »

Game of Morons

      No Comments on Game of Morons

Everyone on this show is retarded A follow up to yesterday, for a bit of humor: Stark Morons: Ned Stark is a moron for how he handled the revelation that Joffrey was not the legitimate heir. He confronted Cersei, he didn’t go with Renly’s plan, and he left himself exposed. Because of this: he died, his wife died, his eldest… Read more »

Optics of the Obama Endorsement

      No Comments on Optics of the Obama Endorsement

Rotten, Denmark, etc Obama should not have endorsed Hillary Clinton. His decision has a negative impact on the rule of law in this country. The White House has confirmed that the FBI investigation into the e-mail servers is a criminal investigation. The President of the United States has endorsed someone under criminal investigation by our government’s foremost investigative branch. That… Read more »
