A good read today in the SacBee on the slimiest candidate America has produced. Hillary Clinton.
Page 1B in today’s SacBee has a story about this woman. She and Hillary have colluded for over a year before the ambush last Monday. And Hillary paid over a half million bucks o the smearmeisters to go find the dirt. But they of course did not find the dirt on Machado. And she admits in the article she was not such a nice person. Anyway, Trump may or may not ne impacted on this attack. His numbers are holding in the polls so we will see. But it does show why a scumbag Hillary and her minions are. Who thinks like this? And do we want the kind of scummy, Jerry Springer tripe in the White House?LikeLike

Another day, another USC Dorsife/LA Times poll, and a curious thing…
The news since Wednesday is how the major phone polls have all been showing a Hillary surge from her masterful performance in the “debate”… but the USC poll has, on the contrary, shown a small but significant move in the opposite direction… with Trump gaining over a percent over Hillary, for a total of 4.7% over Clinton, 46.9% to 42.2%.
http://cesrusc.org/election/ for those who don’t have it bookmarked. It’s updated daily somewhere around 12:10AM Pacific.
What does it mean? Maybe the USC sample isn’t representative. Maybe the phone samples aren’t… are Trump supporters refusing to say “Trump” to strangers calling them on the phone? Time may tell.
My standard disclaimer… I’ll be voting Johnson because the LIB party most closely matches my political views and because Johnson is the least flawed candidate who will be on the ballot. YMMV.LikeLike

Johnson? Well, the former governor does have more executive experience than Obama ever had when he was a candidate. And Johnson would not turn this nation against itself like Obama purposely went out of his way to do. We elected a community organizer and that is exactly what we got. An organizer of exploitation, an organizer of protests, of turning one group of US citizens against the other based on race, class, and whether one watches Fox News.
Figure all in all, a pot smoker in the White House would do better than the American Apologist we have now. The only question I have now is is Gov. Johnson capable of uttering the phrase “Islamic terrorism” or even Islamic terrorist”? That is my litmus test.

How Much Energy Do Building Energy Codes Save? Evidence from California
November 2015, Arik Levinson, Georgetown Economics Department, and NBER
Abstract
Regulations governing the energy efficiency of new buildings are a centerpiece of US environmental policy. California enacted the first such codes in 1978, aiming to reduce residential energy use by 80 percent. I evaluate the outcome by (1) comparing electricity and natural gas use by California homes constructed under different standards, (2) examining how outdoor temperatures affect energy use for houses of different vintages, and (3) comparing homes of different vintages in California with similar homes in other states. The results show little or no evidence that houses constructed after 1978 use significantly less energy today than homes built earlier.
Remember all those energy audits that Sierra Business Council was pushing, how energy efficiency upgrades were going to save homeowners money and reduce CO2 emissions? According to the study energy efficient home, homes which cost more to build, are no more energy efficient than those built before the regulations, thus they use as much energy as non-compliant homes. The building energy codes were made more stringent 13 times since 1978 and still no significant results.
Another example of where the cost benefits promoted by the left-leaning legislators living in the anthropogenic warmed Sacramento swamp were nothing more than a legislative wet dream. And we taxpayers are paying the bill in higher construction and energy costs for no energy saving benefit. And, no related anthropogenic greenhouse gas savings.LikeLike

Oh Russ – by disparaging good folk trying to combat evil you commit micro aggressions with your hate facts.
The important thing is not any actual energy savings nor green house gas reductions, it’s how these new rules make people feel.
Your male, white, Euro-centric, ‘numbers’ based metrics just show how biased you are against the growing trend towards empowering people of color and those fighting for justice involving the disenfranchised groups who are trying to raise their children in a cohesive collective of like minded civic groups working towards a future that blends a diverse and vibrant mix of cultures in an eclectic rainbow of humans working for a sustainable future.

Topic: Reparations from a different perspective:
The talk of reparations for the descendants of slavery is being kicked around again. It becomes readily apparent how complicated this issue becomes when figuring out when cutting checks for to whom and for how much. Obama has no slave blood in his veins, but his wife probably does. Guess he gets zero, but his wife and kids get something. What about black immigrants welcomed here over the past 100 years? They get no checks, but receive a bill instead? If we all are to blame and we all have to pay repriations for past sins, does that include the Syrian refugees we allowed into the country last week? I could be wrong, but I think all the culprits involved in our slave trade are deceased.
I do recognize that every culture on Earth throughout history took slaves in conquest. Pick any culture, “tribe.” The Mayans, Incas, Zulus, Congolese, Native Americans, Southeast Asians, Central Asians, the Ottomans, Pacific Islanders, Arabs, Persians, Koreans, Japanese, Vikings, east, west, north south and everyplace in between.
With that said, I feel the Lakota tribe should demand repriations from descendants of runaway slaves. During slavery in the US, slaves escaped to the Indian terrorities because they knew they would be safe. True, the Indians did not harm the escaped slaves and allowed them safe passage and to live their lives in safety. When the slavery period ended, the US Calvary recruited the former slaves in the Indian Terrorities and formed what was called the Buffalo Cowboys. Not mentioned in our history books is the Buffalo Cowboys showed their gratitude to the Sioux and other tribes by committing savagery against the Indians far beyond the atrocities of the US Calvery at Wounded Knee and other places. Not only did the Buffalo Cowboys smashed infants heads against trees, murdered old women, tortured old men, and fun stuff like that, the Buffalo Cowboys also gang raped the Native American women. To repeat, the Buffalo Cowboys savagery surpassed that of the “regular” US soldiers. What a way to say thanks.
I demand the descendants of runaway slaves pay the Native Americans in the Dakota Territories reparations first and foremost. Or, let’s just drop this whole reparations thang. It’s just to divisive. It tears us apart, opens old wounds of our forefathers, and destroys the healing process. The list of victims from history is endless. Let’s just bury the hatchet for the sake of sanity..LikeLike

SO 737PM What you are asking for response about is virtually all vitriol, so what is left?
As far as I can tell, Johnson siphoned off Hillary voters more than GOP and those GOP defections are probably more anti-Trump than pro-Johnson so they weren’t Trump’s from the start… either Johnson or no vote at all. While I do prefer Trump to Hillary, selling my soul to Trump won’t get him any Electors.
No, Johnson isn’t one of the most libertarian of Libertarian candidates, he does appear to be on the libertarian spectrum, but if he was there to torpedo Trump, I doubt the Hillary campaigners over at MSNBC would have been doing such a great job to torpedo him. Their gotcha questioning did a great job of bouncing him out of the debates… to the extent he had any chance at all. The Johnson as the village idiot meme is MSNBC’s doing.
The USC/LA Times poll still has no debate bounce at all for Hillary, just a mild bounce for Trump, mostly sideways over the last week. Trump over Hillary by 4.6% (47 to 42.4). Either USC or 538 have screwed the pooch this year… and given the number of folks proclaiming they’re not letting on they are voting for Trump, it may well be Silver at 538. There was NO significant social cost of supporting Obama the last two cycles, but this year, as Michael Moore said on Meet the Depressed yesterday, people are pissed and Trump is the political Molotov Coctail of today.
Look at the bright side… it appears Assange will be delivering his Clinton WikiLeak Surprise midnight tonight, Pacific time. We live in interesting times.LikeLike

I don’t know – Johnson never struck me as such a Libertarian as much as someone that just wants the label because that’s where the legalized pot heads go.
He’s certainly preferable to Hillary, although that’s a pretty low bar these days.
I wouldn’t get too excited about any revelations concerning the Clintons. Seems that the more we find out about how crooked they are, the more it just gets swept aside by the news media.
I’ll certainly upvote the ‘interesting times’ mention.

The problem with the Libertarian Party in general is that if you put three average activist Libertarians in a room, they’ll get into an argument about who among them are pure libertarians at heart. I really don’t care what a true libertarian is and I’d be pleased as Punch to have a big tent with left-libertarians, right-libertarians and centrist-libertarians (and a Democrat and Republican or two) getting together to govern from a standpoint of being as freedom-friendly as possible under the circumstances. No, I don’t expect to be as pleased as Punch in November.
The folks Scott link to are more about having a standard bearer who is as pure as Caesar’s wife. I really don’t care about that. Johnson and Weld are decidedly left-libertarian, centrist on some issues and while they wouldn’t be my first choice, they are when on this years Dem, GOP, GREEN and LIB offerings.LikeLike

“….and what is Aleppo”? Certainly didn’t help him. And he should know better than to let himself be interviewed by notorious Obama fellatrix (yes I know it’s the “feminine”….it was intentional) Chris Matthews…..what the hell was he thinking?
Still puzzled about his support of the TPP (and even more puzzled about ardent Johnson supporter Paul Emery being so enthusiastic about him in spite of it). Nothing that bureaucratic and convoluted agrees with libertarian principles.LikeLike

OBAMA: NSA not rifling through ordinary people’s emails…
Another lie exposed: YAHOO secretly scanned ALL emails for NSA, FBI…
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yahoo-nsa-exclusive-idUSKCN1241YT
Yahoo Inc last year secretly built a custom software program to search all of its customers’ incoming emails for specific information provided by U.S. intelligence officials, according to people familiar with the matter.
The company complied with a classified U.S. government demand, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said three former employees and a fourth person apprised of the events.
Some surveillance experts said this represents the first case to surface of a U.S. Internet company agreeing to an intelligence agency’s request by searching all arriving messages, as opposed to examining stored messages or scanning a small number of accounts in real time.
If Yahoo did it, can we assume so are the other email providers: Apple, Microsoft, and AOL? Welcome to the world of 1984, though a few years late!LikeLike

Thomas Frank: How the Democratic Party Betrayed and Abandoned the Middle Class
“The Democratic Party has turned its back on working people and now pursues policies that actually increase inequality.
The first piece of evidence is what’s happened since the financial crisis. This is the great story of our time. Inequality has actually gotten worse since then, which is a remarkable thing. This is under a Democratic president who we were assured (or warned) was the most liberal or radical president we would ever see. Yet inequality has gotten worse, and the gains since the financial crisis, since the recovery began, have gone entirely to the top 10 percent of the income distribution.
This is not only because of those ‘evil Republicans,’ but because Obama played it the way he wanted to. Even when he had a majority in both houses of Congress and could choose whoever he wanted to be in his administration, he consistently made policies that favored the top 10 percent over everybody else. He helped out Wall Street in an enormous way when they were entirely at his mercy.
He could have done anything he wanted with them, in the way that Franklin Roosevelt did in the ’30s. But he chose not to.
Why is that?

Some writer once said that it is a very good thing women can’t read men’s minds.
Being civilized doesn’t necessarily mean men don’t have prurient thoughts and lewd fantasies, they do because are wired that way, it simply means they know enough to keep it to themselves.
“Why don’t you clean yourself up.” sounds like a pretty innocuous statement, unless it was said by a governor of a small southern state to date rape victim.
Men can be beasts, add money and power to that and you get a Trump, a Clinton, or a Weiner.
So, all this gasping and pearl clutching by the media over what some rich little mental homunculus said back in the nineties is hypocritical.
We still have two odious presidential candidates and one of them will likely rule our country for the next four years, but probably not for eight.
The time to begin to find two decent candidates for 2020 is now.

I have been in a lot of locker rooms Judith, and engaged in a lot of “man talk” if by that you mean talk between men, but I have never condoned this sort of objectification of women, or the aggressive and criminal behavior that goes along with it, to any man. It is my responsibility to object when such things are said in order to keep them from being approved of amongst men and acted on.
Mens locker rooms? ….because he didn’t specify?LikeLike

On other news, a witness has come forward for the horrific marathon sexual assault that occurred 30+ years ago, with no one coming to the poor woman’s aid.
A now retired Brit, a man who witnessed the whole thing, has come forward. The complainant was in fact the aggressor and Trump did nothing inappropriate. So much for Democratic Party diversionary tactics… and back to WikiLeaks.LikeLike
