Here’s Trumps position on the origin of ISIS
“Maybe don’t go into Iraq originally. We should have never, ever gone in,” Trump, who supported invading Iraq, said at a February town hall in Bluffton, S.C. “But we did. So we made a mistake. The country made a big mistake, and started all of this horrible thing that you see taking place, including ISIS.”
So he’s blaming Bush and the Neocons not Obama for ISIS.

All the more reason to vote for Trump, Mr. Paul. It is clear to all that liberalism is a rigid ideology. A very unkind unforgiving unyielding ideology responsible for millions of deaths.
However, this is August of 2016. In August of 2016, Trump said Obama is Founder of ISIS along with his stupid sidekick Hillary Rotten Clinton. This was necessary to clarify any misunderstandings that previous statements might have caused. It is fair to say that Trump feels that going into Iraq was bad, but withdrawing our troops from Iraq the way Obama did was worse. The vacumn caused by Obama created ISIS.

To be fair, did like it when Hunter was in the campaign press corpse and wrote about dropping acid with Richard M. Nixon on the plane between campaign stops. He had a vivid imagination and took the term “artistic license” to uncharted territory.
What we all need about now is some fun with this campaign. Know any “short circuit” jokes? Hillary swinging on a stripper’s pole or Trump tossing adorable puppies out of his 757 at 20,000 feet.

Not a scientific poll, of course. No idea if respondents are registered to vote or are telling the truth, but, after the blistering attacks on Trump supporters, including a recent battery with a crowbar on a guy for being in public with Trump logowear, how does any pollster know Trump supporters are not pulling their leg claiming to be a Hillary supporter, or voting for Nun of the Above? If I were a Trump supporter, I’d do it. As it is, I have gotten polling phone calls and I just don’t participate; if there are any Luddite Trump supporters reading this, talk to the pollsters and tell them you’re undecided or with Hillary… it’s what they want to hear.
The anonymous poll suggests a Trump landslide. Something to think about.

No place to put this post from a preeminent physicist, Steven Koonin, on climate change issues, hosted by Dr. Judith Curry on her blog:
He states that alarmist

thinking rests upon credence in projections of future climates by models that today are demonstrably not up to the task and upon an unsupported conviction that the net benefits of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions outweigh the net benefits of increasing access to affordable, available, and reliable energy for the majority of the world’s people. We can expect that in the coming decade climate observations will become more precise and complete, that understanding and projections of the climate will improve, and that putative anthropogenic impacts will (or will not) become less uncertain, despite the current IPCC’s ill-supported assertion of 95% confidence. Further, we can expect that future societies will be more resilient and that there will be benefit to taking the time to develop better technologies that can slow or even reverse growing GHG concentrations, should that be needed. All of this to say that SPSK’s certainty can be credibly questioned. In any event, all actions beyond “no regrets” will have drawbacks (by definition) so that these caveats must be folded into anyone’s risk/benefit calculation, which will further suffer the essential subjectivity of the choice of long-term discount rate.
