This is a very significant date. In 2016, within hours of Donald Trump making his "Russia, if you're listening" speech, apparently several were.
On that very day, Russian military intelligence officers initiated a cyber-attack on the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C.
Coincidence? The probability is miniscule, and so unlikely. Not only listening, they acted upon their agent's signal.
Remember this date, July 27, 2016. It will be exposed as the date a would-be American president committed treason against the United States of America.
We're witnessing the very first anti-president of the United States. - July 28, 2018 at 6:19 AM

"Russia If You're Listening Day" and "Putin's Puppet Day" have stained the month of July, and diminished Independence Day to the level of Flag Day.
The Government Of Putin has made America a global laughing stock. - July 28, 2018 at 12:03 PM
- Jefferson's Guardian said...
Yes, agreed, the Government Of Putin has really put a stain on the month of July.

You should review your time line of JULY 26th 2016 being the start of a cyber-attack on the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C. History does not support your belief.
"July 27, 2016 "Russian military intelligence officers initiated a cyber-attack on the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C." JG
"In 2016, within hours of Donald Trump making his "Russia, if you're listening" speech, apparently several were." July 27, 2016. DD
"The Democratic National Committee cyber attacks took place in 2015 and 2016, in which computer hackers infiltrated the Democratic National Committee (DNC) computer network, leading to a data breach. Some cybersecurity experts, as well as the U.S. government, stated that the cyberespionage was the work of Russian intelligence agencies."
"Cyber attacks that successfully penetrated the DNC computing system began in 2015. Attacks by "Cozy Bear" began in the summer of 2015. Attacks by "Fancy Bear" began in April 2016. It was after the "Fancy Bear" group began their activities that the compromised system became apparent. The groups were presumed to have been spying on communications, stealing opposition research on Donald Trump, as well as reading all email and chats. Both were finally identified by CrowdStrike in May 2016."
"Starting in MARCH 2016, the indictment alleges, a unit of Russia's GRU military intelligence organization began sending emails to dozens of employees and volunteers in the Clinton campaign."
"October 29, 2014
White House to Washington Post: Hacker Breach
"White House officials tell The Washington Post hackers breached the unclassified network of the Executive Office of the President sometime earlier in the month. Sources suspect Russian government sponsored hackers are behind the attack."
Summer 2015
Attackers infiltrate the DNC network
Attackers use COZY BEAR to infiltrate the Democratic National Committee network undetected and CAMPS OUT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR spying on internal chats and emails.
April 2016
Hackers attack DNC again
Hackers use FANCY BEAR in a second independent attack on the DNC network. The committee's IT team notices something is wrong and alerts executives who call in Crowdstrike. Crowdstrike identifies two separate hacker groups in the system, FANCY BEAR and COZY BEAR.
June 14, 2016
Media begins reporting on DNC attack
News organizations begin reporting on the DNC attack. The Kremlin denies Russian involvement. The DNC and Crowdstrike believe hackers stole the committee's entire database of opposition research on Donald Trump but "no financial information or sensitive employee, donor or voter information was accessed by the Russian attackers.
June 15, 2016
Crowdstrike posts report on DNC hacks
Crowdstrike posts Bears in the Midst: Intrusion into the Democratic National Committee, a detailed explanation of how it believes COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR hacked the DNC. That same day, someone calling himself Guccifer 2.0 posts on a newly created Wordpress site that he alone is responsible for the hack. He releases what appears to be the stolen Trump opposition research as well as some additional documents and spreadsheets designed to disprove the DNC's claim it hadn't lost any sensitive information. Guccifer 2.0 says Wikileaks has the rest of his yield and will be publishing it shortly. Crowdstrike stands by its assessment that Russian operatives are responsible, and other security experts agree, calling Guccifer 2.0 an intentional Russian disinformation campaign."
But what the heck, the truth never got in your way of a good story before.

Thanks for all the efforts, but what does all of your copy and pasted efforts have to do with anything I said? Trump appealed to Russia to interfere in the election. Period. Even if they did't do so, they were still invited to on July 27, 2016. THAT is the point. - July 28, 2018 at 5:18 PM
- Majormajor said...
Interesting that you are throwing JG under the bus, he said "On that very day, Russian military intelligence officers initiated a cyber-attack on the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C." Which I've shown with my "cut and Paste" with credits is wrong. BTW if I had just said you guys are wrong you would have wanted proof, I provide you proof and look what happens.
Trump was joking like Obama was with his 52 states and if you like your Dr comments,LOL. - July 28, 2018 at 5:52 PM
- Jefferson's Guardian said...
Majormajor, I was incorrect in my estimate. I heard on a television broadcast that the dates were concurrent, a couple of different times, but chose not to follow it up because I didn't want to take the time.
The point that you fact-checked me, and cut-and-paste The whole timeline for at least a year or more, tells me you're in agreement that the Russians hacked our electoral system and that Donald Trump knew it also -- yet still refused to confront Putin about it while in Helsinki.
The best is yet to be!
Can you spell T.R.E.A.S.O.N.?
Here's a joke my wife told me this morning...
Question: What's long and red and hangs down between Vladimir Putin's legs?
Answer: Donald Trump's necktie. ;-) - July 28, 2018 at 8:40 PM
- Majormajor said...
Cut and past, how awful, makes hard to disprove though doesn't it now. LOL
"that Donald Trump knew it also" Wow, what kind of dream is that? Who else knew about it and did nothing?
BTW who was President when this took place, 2014-2015-2016 and what party did that President belong to and what did that President do to stop the Russians and what proof do you have that President Trump was aware of any of this?
"Russians hacked our electoral system"
How many votes did they change?
Which President said it was impossible for anyone to do this?
"I was incorrect"...that's a positive start JG towards returning to reality and sanity, keep it up. As DD has said, "one day at a time."
Variation on an old joke that used be told about Bill Clinton and his favorite intern. - July 28, 2018 at 11:44 PM

"'that Donald Trump knew it also' Wow, what kind of dream is that?" ~~ Majormajor
How typical of you. You took part of a larger sentence that I wrote and completely took it out of the context; the meaning as intended. Here it is once again: "...the whole timeline for at least a year or more, tells me you're in agreement that the Russians hacked our electoral system and that Donald Trump knew it also -- yet still refused to confront Putin about it while in Helsinki."
You ask, "What kind of dream is that?" I'll answer that for you: It's Trump's worst nightmare. It's what prompted his ridiculous "wouldn't for would" walk-back. Remember?
"...what proof do you have that President Trump was aware of any of this?" ~~ Majormajor
His own, hand-picked, intelligence advisors told him -- prior to his trip to Finland. Remember? Are you disputing this?
He was told this prior to putting his necktie between Putin's legs. Remember? ;-)
Of course...you already knew this. Didn't you?
"'I was incorrect'...that's a positive start..." ~~ Majormajor
Yes, once in the last eight years for me. I still have 7,999 more times before I catch up to you. LOLOL
Your whole existence is a monument to incorrectness. - July 29, 2018 at 6:55 AM

Chuck, can you spell T.R.E.A.S.O.N.?
Mueller's investigation is getting closer and closer. There have been 35 indictments to date, and as I've said, "the best is yet to be."
Trump's scared sh**less. He's doing everything he can to distract, but Mueller and his team of crackerjack prosecutors march on.
The noose is tightening. Trump's going to f**king flip when one of the next upcoming rounds of indictments name Donnie Jr. and Kushner. He'll be tearing paintings off the walls of the White House. ;-)
Once that happens, he's next. - July 29, 2018 at 7:14 AM

Are you really pinning your hopes on the convection of Manafort to impeach President Trump? Crimes Manafort committed BEFORE the 2016 election or Trump announcing he was running for office?
So the Trump joke did not cause the Russians to hack Clinton or the DNC before July 27th? As you can see from the above the Russian had been hacking the White House and the DNC as far back as 2014 when who was President? - July 29, 2018 at 3:58 PM

"the case against Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump's former campaign chief, will delve into Mr. Manafort's personal finances largely before his work on the campaign."
Aruna Viswanatha - July 29, 2018 at 4:22 PM
- Jefferson's Guardian said...
Chuck, Paul Manafort is only one. There were 34 other indictments. I'm disappointed that Fox News doesn't cover these very significant details.
When the rule-of-law prevails, and Donald Trump is convicted of treasonous acts against the United States, will you back your president or support the Constitution? That's really the only two choices you have.
Which one? - July 29, 2018 at 5:50 PM
- Majormajor said...
"34 other indictments" And the indictments are for what crimes?
Collusion, nope.
Obstruction, nope.
Just what are the crimes these people committed that will lead to the charge of treason or impeachment?
I will always support the Constitution, the question is when it is shown that President Trump has done nothing wrong will you? I am convinced that if Mueller had anything on President Trump that could lead to impeachment he would have played by it now or Schiffe would have leaked it by now. All the Mueller investigation is doing now is causing division in the country and giving false hope to an already enraged left upset because Clinton lost. - July 29, 2018 at 6:36 PM

"And the indictments are for what crimes? Collusion, nope. Obstruction, nope." ~~ Majormajor
Collusion? Not known yet. Obstruction of justice? Not known yet, either.
We'll have to wait and see.
"Just what are the crimes these people committed that will lead to the charge of treason or impeachment?" ~~ Majormajor
That's what we'll have to wait to find out. The indictments only tell the charges. Now the revelations begin.
"I will always support the Constitution, the question is when it is shown that President Trump has done nothing wrong will you?" ~~ Majormajor
When a resolution is reached, of course. Not a moment before.
"All the Mueller investigation is doing now is causing division in the country..." ~~ Majormajor
The only ones divided are those who despise democracy and the rule of law. Otherwise, the rest seek justice and hope that truth will prevail.
Ironically, it's only Donald Trump dividing the nation. He caters to his imbecilic base and the elitist corporatists, while crapping on everyone else. - July 29, 2018 at 9:00 PM
- Majormajor said...
Are any of the 34 indictments against President Trump?
Nope. You just hope that if the indictment goes to trial the accused to save their skin will say President sent Putin millions of dollars to help him win. Kind of like the last president sent millions in cash to Iran.
"The indictments only tell the charges."
What, is this your answer to my question "And the indictments are for what crimes?" It's you JG who said there have been 34 indictments issued. So what are the charges? Collusion, Treason, Obstruction, come on man, there are THIRTY FOUR INDICTMENTS,,for WHAT. What are the crimes these indictments are charging was committed?
Do we know the charges against Manafort? YES
Has his trial stated yet? NO.
"That truth will prevail." "The truth is there is no there there" P.Stzrok!
"He caters to his imbecilic base and the elitist corporatist, while crapping on everyone else."
How very elitist, authoritarian of you to say those who disagree with you are the problem by calling them imbeciles. Who are you to call any one less than intelligent, what is the basis of your belief? Cause they idn't vote your way? That's crazy.
This is the typical actions of the left who view themselves as the one who know best how others should live, think and act. Totalitarianism at it's best by the left.
Do you realize how derisive, how demeaning your comment is to 62,984,825 of your fellow American citizens? Yours is the arrogant of the left that is dividing America, and you have expressed it best with this little comment, "Now the revelations begin." You will hold out that the left didn't lose fairly till the day to die.

People really should be up in arms that the Mueller team was able to get a warrant on Carter Page based on oppo research and speculative newspaper articles and no direct evidence of any actual collusion which is required to get the warrant.

WASHINGTON — The trial of President Donald Trump's onetime campaign chairman will open this week with tales of lavish spending, secret shell companies and millions of dollars of Ukrainian money flowing through offshore bank accounts and into the political consultant's pocket. What's likely to be missing: answers about whether the Trump campaign coordinated with the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential election, or really any mention of Russia at all. Paul Manafort's financial crimes trial, the first arising from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, will center on his Ukrainian consulting work and only briefly touch on his involvement with the president's campaign.

It starts tomorrow. But you already knew this, didn't you?
"Who are you to call any one less than intelligent, what is the basis of your belief? Cause they idn't vote your way?" ~~ Majormajor
The basis? There are two reasons, actually: (1) the imbeciles constantly, election after election, vote against their own economic self-interests, and (2) they backed Trump because he's a racist and a race-baiter, and once again, just as they always do when they vote against their own economic self-interest, they bought into Trump --
hook, line, and sinker.
One thing H. Clinton was right about, they're truly a deplorable lot.
By th way, Chuck, hardly anyone voted "my way".

Not one response that addressed my posts, just more babel talk. Trump needs to be impeached because in your view he is "racist, xenophobic, sexist, white-nationalist". LOL Those are grounds for impeachment??

Based on what evidence?

- Dave Dubya said...
Giving materiel to Russian agents just might be a crime:
Carter Page met with a Russian intelligence operative named Victor Podobnyy, who was later charged by the US government alongside two others for acting as unregistered agents of a foreign government.
The court filing includes a colorful transcript of Podobnyy speaking with Sporyshev about trying to recruit Page.
"[Male-1] wrote that he is sorry, he went to Moscow and forgot to check his inbox, but he wants to meet when he gets back. I think he is an idiot and forgot who I am. ... He got hooked on Gazprom thinking that if they have a project, he could rise up," Podobnyy said. "I also promised him a lot ... This is intelligence method to cheat, how else to work with foreigners? You promise a favor for a favor. You get the documents from him and tell him to go fuck himself."
Page confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Monday that he is "Male-1" in the court filing and said he had been in contact with Podobnyy, who was working at the time at Moscow's UN office in New York City under diplomatic cover, although he was really an SVR agent - July 30, 2018 at 12:21 PM

"Giving materiel to Russian agents just MIGHT be a crime:" When is the trial, what are the charges?
"Sporyshev about trying to recruit Page." What did Page do wrong, he allowed someone to TRY to recruit him, that's a crime? Are you sure it wasn't past due library book fines?
What are the acts President Trump has committed while in office and while running for office that are impeachable? When is the crack, highly paid Mueller team going to do something other than indite people for things not related to President Trump, that took place back in 2014? Where is the evidence of collusion, of obstruction of justice?
Face it, the DNC ran a terrible candidate, who ran a terrible campaign, on the shirt tails of an Administration that said the days of great economic growth were over, that no one could just wave a wand and create jobs, that there was no American exceptionalism, against a candidate who out worked, out thought and said he would MAGA and won. Since in office Trump has keep his promises. And the left hates it because they must not want MAGA, hate those who they call imbeciles and despicable. Speaks volumes.

"'they vote against their own economic self-interest' clearly you are aware of the economic growth and return to prosperity under President Trump..." ~~ Majormajor (aka "wool over his eyes" Chuck)
Actually, Chuck, "prosperity" was here all along. Yeah, sure, the unemployment rate continues to drop under Trump -- which started under Obama, who brought it out of the gutter after Bush. No great shakes.
But it's all relative, you realize. Here try this one on for size...
Did you know real wage growth was higher in Obama's last 18 months in office than it was during Trump's first 18 months in office? Yes, it's true.
The bottom line, Chuck, is adding more low-wage and slave-wage jobs to lower the unemployment rate, doesn't make America great again.
As Clara Pella asked, "Where's the beef?" That's easy...it went right into the portfolios of the wealthy and the corporations. The stupid bastards who voted him in, though, are now able to super-size their Wendy's order each week...

"Everybody's gotta be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say … I am going to take care of everybody, I don't care if it costs me votes or not."
"Draining the swamp." Pruitt, Devos, Zinke, etc. Putting corporate foxes in the regulatory role is the swampiest.
Taxing the rich:
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE, NBC: Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy?
DONALD TRUMP: I do. I do – including myself. I do.

The United States of America's sovereignty has been compromised and infiltrated. Its borders were crossed and an adversary's military was responsible. This is factual -- not conjecture.

Three things the Left will never accept, no matter what.
1. FBI agent Peter Strzok, who displayed an intense dislike for Mr. Trump in text messages to his lover, started the investigation based on hearsay from an Australian diplomat who shared a drink in London with Trump campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos.
To date, after wiretaps and multiple interrogations, no Trump person has been charged for the reason the investigation started: Did the campaign coordinate with Moscow to interfere in the election?
The drink in London may have started the inquiry, but it was the Democratic Party-orchestrated dossier that would fuel it with an unsubstantiated tale of an "extensive conspiracy" between Mr. Trump and the Kremlin.
Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Monday, July 30, 2018
2. But according to a new report from the Associated Press, they're (liberals and the left) likely to be disappointed as the trial will focus on Manafort's business dealings and lavish lifestyle, not collusion.
Katie Pavlich Jul 30, 2018
3. The driving force behind Trump's winning for America is his powerful patriotism. Patriotism is a virtue that our politicians talk about a lot, in utterly empty ways. Many Democrats think it is a vice. The left wing of the Democratic Party mistakes it for white nationalism. Trump lives American patriotism. It is the reason he ran for president and the reason he won. He knows we are a great country.

Sure, Trump's patriotic -- in the same way as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

"Three things the Left will never accept, no matter what." - MM
1) This is verifiably not true.
2) Why wouldn't "the left" accept this? I don't even know what point you are trying to make here.
3) This was a fantastic series of words strung together that absolutely means nothing. "The driving force behind Trump's winning for America is his powerful patriotism". A) Patriotism isn't something you can codify and call 'Weak' or 'Powerful'. This statement is objectively meaningless and simply meant to give you, MM, the warm and fuzzies for picking that particular team to back with your full, unwavering faith. B) What patriotism? The lipservice he gives the VFW? The NRA? Or the complete inaction or inability to keep in-check our international advasaries? What good is that "powerful patriotism" when N.

I am sorry, MM. I was looking for news sources, not random wordpress blogs. Breitbart isn't exactly credible, but I ventured over to Breitbart at the expense of my ad-blocker and malware defender. Even the list that Breitbart provides doesn't even back up your statement. We're counting Cory Booker saying supporters of Kavanaugh are "complicit in evil" as one of "over 538 attacks against Trump supporters"? Someone defacing an inanimate object with Trump's name on it is a violent attack on supporters? Offensive shirts advertised on a random facebook account? Spitting on a MAGA hat? A vandalized golf course sign?
Truly all that talk of Snowflakes by "The Right" was projection of their own inadaquacies and insecurities.
You know what's funny about the Breitbart list? They cite MSNBC did this or CNN said that and their citation isn't even to MSNBC or CNN. It's good thing they count on people like MM not bothering to go through that long list and actually checking for first hand, primary sources.

The dark side of a dangerous radical leftist elitist has been exposed as it seems JG supports the attacks on those who he politically disagrees with. Since, as he has admitted, most people didn't vote as he did, that would mean most Americans per his own words are imbeciles and subject to his attacks.

No, your conclusion doesn't mean that at all. It only means that those who voted for Donald Trump are imbeciles -- and, by the way, most did not vote for Donald Trump.
Chuck, did you vote for Donald Trump? If so, draw your own conclusion.
"Is he saying that people who didn't vote as he did are not voting in their best interests?" ~~ Majormajor (aka comprehension-challenged Chuck)
No, "he's saying" that uneducated and low-information voters, like yourself, who continue voting for either major political party -- election cycle after election cycle, expecting a different result -- are only fooling themselves.

CNN reports and NBC confirms that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has just referred Tony Podesta along with a collection of other cases to New York federal prosecutors for potential prosecution for failing to register properly as a foreign agent.
The cases referred include Podesta and his work for the Podesta Group, as well as former Minnesota Republican Rep. Vin Weber and his work for Mercury Public Affairs, according to the report.
The report also said that the source named former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig, a former partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom is also part of the inquiry.

And Hillary lost and Bernie was cheated out of the nomination.
"Private payrolls boom in July, increasing by 219,000 vs 185,000 estimate: ADP
Jobs in the U.S. increased by 219,000 in July, while economists polled by Reuters expected a gain of 185,000.
July's job gains were the best since February, when 241,000 jobs were added.
Meanwhile, the goods-producing sector saw payrolls increase by 42,000, led by a 23,000 gain in manufacturing jobs and 17,000 additions in construction.
"The labor market is on a roll with no signs of a slowdown in sight," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "Nearly every industry posted strong gains and small business hiring picked up."
The question is are you going to follow the left's orders and ignore this or give Obama the credit?

Ok DD you got me, Mueller isn't hunting for witches. A Werewolf maybe?
Like I said, I never heard of Q until today so I really have no dog in that fight.
Roseanne told Hannity on his show that she didn't know Valerie Jarrett was black. Honestly, I was never sure of Jarrett's race and never really cared. So I can see Barr's point. Regardless, Barr is paying the price for her comments as she should.
I find Barr a mixed up person, on the one hand in July 2009 she posed as Adolf Hitler in a feature for the satirical Jewish publication 'Heeb magazine', called "That Oven Feelin'". Not funny in my view. Then she goes after George Zimmerman for killing T. Martin in her tweets, yet in March of this year, she tweets David Hogg gave a Nazi salute in a march. I doubt her boat is tied up tight to the dock.
Barr liking Q makes me even more wary of it/him/she/them.

"Do your friends TB3 and Dave know of your love of conspiracy theory's [sp] like 911 was an inside job and now Qanon?"
I hardly call my thoughts regarding what occurred on 911 as "love", no more than I consider my thoughts on global warming as "love" or my thoughts about Trump's treasonous activity as "love".
It's just basic knowledge about physics and science.
Evidence proves steel-frame buildings do not fall into their footprints due to, basically, normal office fires. Until that day, none ever did. Since that day, none have either. On that day, three did. Three.
They had help.
My "conspiracy theory" is backed by basic scientific principles -- the United States government's "conspiracy theory" isn't.
As far as QAnon, I wasn't familiar with it until Trump's campaign rally in Tampa on Tuesday. The place was crawling with Trimpies with "Q" signs. I just assumed you knew all about it.

"While it was intended as satire, I deeply regret that I mimicked the language of my harassers," she wrote.

I can understand how hurtful these posts are out of context, and would not do it again." - August 2, 2018 at 6:44 PM

Tell that to Roseanne Barr. She apologized, remember? She intended it for a joke, remember? Tell that to Sean Newcomb, Trea Turner, Josh Hader they were in high school when they made their comments.
"If it were not for 'Dumba** F***ing Black People', there would be no Democrat Party."
"If it applies to Dumba** F***ing of all races, it's not racist. If applied consistently and selectively to one race or minorities it could be racist." DD
As I've said before, the left has it's own standards for what is racism, and the fact that you and JG are not offended by her tweets and readily accept her excuses, just highlights it even more.
BTW, what white male has ever tweeted they "got joy from being cruel to old black men"? Her explanation is she is just "mimicking the language of my harassers", who is harassing her? She seems to have left that out.

"I. The media encourage violation of the law
A. The liberal media are pushing for a quiet coup to get President Trump removed from office. Right after President Trump made a few admittedly goofy comments in his summit with President Putin, many newspapers immediately labeled him a "traitor" and openly encouraged his Cabinet to resign to push him out of office. The media constantly try to undermine the presidency by claiming that Trump is a traitor or a puppet, without a shred of evidence. The media are seeking to undermine and remove a branch of government they disagree with.
B. When Obama used nonexistent "discretion" to stop enforcing our immigration laws, the media hailed him as compassionate.
C. When President Trump decided to enforce existing immigration laws, he was criticized as a "hardliner" who hates Hispanics.
D. When Trump withdrew from a nonexistent treaty with Iran, which was never submitted for confirmation, Trump was called a war-monger.
E. The media generally insist that laws exist where none applies (such as abortion and redefining marriage and now for the "transgendered") and insist that constitutional rights for the Second, Tenth, and (for their enemies only) the First Amendments be abridged.
continued... - August 3, 2018 at 11:35 AM
- Majormajor said...
part 2
II. The media whips up hatred among classes, races, religions, and exactly two sexes.
A. The media constantly publish stories showing that white people are racist. In the past 48 hours alone, the New York Times has published stories showing that white people are racist in hotels and at public swimming pools. It's like "Green Eggs and Ham." Are they also racist on a train? Are they also racist on a plane? Nearly every day, the media write an article that reads, "White people are racist in [kind of place or circumstance]." This repeated emphasis whips up racial resentment and encourages violence against white people.
B. Not a day goes by without some gleeful account of how the non-white population of America is increasing, eagerly looking forward to the day when whites are in the minority. This "in your face, white people!" mentality stirs up understandable resentment among white Americans.
C. We are constantly told by the media to hate the rich, that if they have a lot of money, they must not have earned it legitimately, that "their" money should be "our" money. The resentment built up by this kind of storyline encourages lawmakers to enact theft by higher taxation.
D. Muslims are constantly told that white people hate them and discount any reasons why white people might legitimately fear them. This encourages Muslims to be angry and commit acts of violence – though to be fair, some of them don't need much encouragement to begin with.
E. Women are constantly told that most men are rapists or harassers who don't respect them. Women are encouraged to turn against men and see rape in every dorm room and every janitor closet.
F. A tiny, tiny portion of the population who are mentally ill insist on playing Peeping Tom in girls' bathrooms and dominating women's sports. Instead of calling for this fractional number to get mental help, the media portray people who stand up for women's rights as bigots.
G. We are repeatedly told that the police are racist. As a result, fewer people cooperate with the police, and sometimes a crazy person assassinates a policeman.
The results of this incitement are easy to see if you live in a far-left place like Oakland, Berkeley, or San Francisco, but all over America, this poison infects the body politic and encourages violence and lawlessness. Just ask the members of the Trump administration who have been harassed in public places or even outside their own homes. When Jim Acosta of CNN whined about being labeled an enemy of the people, Sarah Sanders reminded him that media incitement had required her to get a Secret Service bodyguard because unlike Acosta, she actually has been threatened in public.
The liberal media take no responsibility when they falsely shout "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater. Instead, they see threats in every corner whenever someone speaks against them. I don't agree with Trump on everything he does, but it's refreshing, for once, to have a president unlike George W. Bush who doesn't passively let himself be used as a punching bag by the liberal media and fights back. - August 3, 2018 at 11:36 AM

Re: Your regurgitated Ed Straker Article:
You really, really, need to be more analytical towards what you ready. In nothing you C&Ped, did Ed Straker cite anything to back up his assertions. I) Where? Nothing in A - E support this statement. A) What flipping paper in the generic "many newspapers" claim labeled the President a traitor? B) Obama used discretion to priortize violent offenders over non-violent and productive members of our society. C) He was criticized as more than a "hardliner", actually. And it's because he wasn't enforcing existing laws, he was instituting a policy that wasn't technically against the law. D) And...? I think he was called a warmonger long before that Iran business. E) This is a non-statement. The blathering of a person who thinks women's rights and non-hetero orientations are icky. Also someone who doesn't actually care about the Constitution or what it says. II) Nothing listed A-G actually backs up this assertion. A) But are they true stories? Maybe people should stop being racist and stories would stop making the news? This dude is legit whining that people are being told about racism? Boohoo. Maybe society should, instead, see these published stories and tell their racist brothers and sisters to knock it off? B) This is absolute projection. I challenge anyone to find me a mainstream publication "gleefully" bragging about the minority population increasing. Holy Cow the projection. C) When and where does this ever occur? Oh, right. Ed Straker doesn't actually provide examples. This was solely written to inflate the "conversative" bubble. D) When and where does this ever occur? I'll check the Nightly News tonight and double-check. Maybe Lester Holt throws that in at the very end after their fluff segment. E) No. Just... no. This doesn't happen. Without examples of citation, just saying it doesn't make it true. F) This is just insulting. G) We are not repeatedly told that the police are racist. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong and Ed Straker right.
"When Jim Acosta of CNN whined about being labeled an enemy of the people, Sarah Sanders reminded him that media incitement had required her to get a Secret Service bodyguard because unlike Acosta, she actually has been threatened in public."
Actually, she was asked to leave a restaurant after her entire meal had been comped. You are free to say many things in our country. You, however, are not free from the consequences of saying those things.
"The liberal media take no responsibility when they falsely shout "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater."
More projection. Remember when the Conservatives changed their tune about 2nd Amendment Solutions after Gabby Giffords was shot in the freaking face by an easily influenced mind? No? Right. Get back to me when the "Liberal Media" actually starts using that kind of rhetoric. That whole article you seem to agree with was simply the ramblings of someone scared with a lot of aspects of the world around him. - August 3, 2018 at 2:08 PM

And that will keep Straker's lunacy out of the discussion. MM certainly cannot prove anything he readily believes from his Right-wing authoritarian propagandists.
It really is all about their beliefs, and they are based on feelings. Anger and resentment must be fed regularly.
People like MM cannot see Trump's calling the press the enemy of the people and "terrible horrible people" as threatening. That's how much they care for the First Amendment, and for people who seek facts and dare dissent.

What was I thinking?? Thanks for straightening me out.
I finally just remembered all the polls and figures were FAKE before Trump took office.
That's something else he fixed. He's the "Only One". In fact this is how I should think of him, and call him, from now on. Just to remind me of the Good News of our National Savior. - August 3, 2018 at 3:06 PM

I'm afraid of everything and everyone around me.

They do this with their Alinsky-Globalist-You're-the-real-nazi tactics. Is it really so bad that I want to pretend to live in a world that never existed where there were no gay people, no such thing as transexuals, women knew their place, black/brown/whatever color people were second class citizens and happy about it because 'MERICA? Maybe I just need to come to terms with the fact people are more aware of these things that have always existed and live my life with empathy for others and using the morals I pretend to believe in and practice? Screw that, It's the Liberals/Leftists/Globalists/Feminists/Minorities/Media that's the problem! DON'T FORCE SELF REFLECTION AND RECONSIDERATION OF MY BIASES ON ME. IGNORANCE IS BLISS.

This... is not how voting works?" Tell that to JG.
Leftist claims that Trump supporters are racist, not so much.
Highs light of research:
1. A Columbia University sociologist (Musa al-Gharbi) recently published a study showing that much of the academic research into President Trump's voters is marred by prejudicial designs, distorted data, and outright misrepresentations.
2. Musa al-Gharbi points out, for instance, that one data set used in a Washington Post article to accuse Trump voters of racist motivations actually shows that Trump voters were less racist than those who voted for Mitt Romney.
al-Gharbi admitted that he was motivated to research this topic "in part to help Trump's opposition do better next round." This uncharitable misrepresentation of data is one of many ways that Trump voters are marred by researchers, al-Gharbi says, asserting that the "evidence suggests that the role of race has been widely overblown and misunderstood with respect to Trump's victory."
"Gabby Giffords was shot in the freaking face by an easily influenced mind?" You forgot to add the shooter espoused conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks as does JG. Which some would say explains his easily influenced mind.
Oddly enough the congressional baseball shooting gunman James T. Hodgkinson had filled his social media accounts with political rhetoric against Donald Trump and Republicans. He expressed support for Democrat Bernie Sanders, even making Sanders his cover photo. Did he also possess an "easily influenced mind"?

"This... is not how voting works?" Tell that to JG."
Why? I was responding to something you said.
"1. A Columbia University sociologist (Musa al-Gharbi) recently published a study showing that much of the academic research into President Trump's voters is marred by prejudicial designs, distorted data, and outright misrepresentations."
I am interested in reading more about this study. Where did you find this study?
"2. Musa al-Gharbi points out, for instance, that one data set used in a Washington Post article to accuse Trump voters of racist motivations actually shows that Trump voters were less racist than those who voted for Mitt Romney."
I am really interested in this study now.
"al-Gharbi admitted that he was motivated to research this topic "in part to help Trump's opposition do better next round." "
So let me get this straight. Research into Trump Voters is marred by bias and distortions, but the person who conducted this study admits to doing it because of bias? Now I really, really, want to read more about this study.
"Did he also possess an "easily influenced mind"?"
Yes. I would also describe that individual as deranged. Now, what does asking this question have to do with... oh, right. Deflecting. Nevermind the fact that you're using this as a counter example, except you're countering an example I used where Conservatives literally advocated using "Second Amendment Solutions". No such example of outright violence advocacy can be pinpointed for Hodkinson. - August 3, 2018 at 4:20 PM

MM deflecting to the "not racist card" is a routine defense mechanism. No real racist would vote for an honest birther like Trump.
And there's no way MM's linked site is biased. The "news team" are from Blaze Radio Network, The Daily Caller , Digital Grassroots Director for Marco Rubio, Washington Examiner, The Drudge Report, Americans for Prosperity Foundation, "president of the pro-life club on her campus", Fox News Radio, digital volunteer for the Dr. Ben Carson presidential campaign, Youth Director for Ed Gillespie's gubernatorial bid.
The "Senior Campus Correspondent" declared it "actually shows that Trump voters were less racist than those who voted for Mitt Romney".
Actually, al-Gharbi said this:
"According to Wood's own data, whites who voted for Trump are perhaps less racist than those who voted for Romney," al-Gharbi explains, adding that "not only were they less authoritarian than Romney voters, but less racist too!"
From "perhaps" to certainty, in the blink of an eye! Very impartial and considered.
After playing the Victim Card, al-Gharbi shows us how unbiased he is.
"But I also take umbrage at the villainization of Trump supporters," he added, noting that he "grew up in a conservative, religious, military community in Arizona along the United States and Mexico Border."
He could have have saved a lot of trouble and simply noted that a few fringe-type Blacks voted for Trump. That should be more than enough proof that no racists voted for him. - August 3, 2018 at 7:03 PM

At Wednesday's event, dubbed "Meeting with Inner City Pastors," many of the pastors who attended expressed sympathetic views toward Trump, with one pastor -- the Rev. Darrell Scott, of Cleveland -- calling Trump "the most pro-black president we've had in our lifetime." The Rev. Phillip Goudeaux of Calvary Christian Center in Sacramento, Calif., and the Rev. John Gray, head of Relentless Church in Greenville, S.C., came under fire from critics who say Trump's policies have harmed the black community. Scott slammed former President Barack Obama for not trying to "prove something to our community" because "he got a pass."
These black pastors get it, they see how much the lives of their church members have improved under President Trump. They have seen members of their church no longer needing food stamps because they are no long unemployed. They know how much the left is lying about President Trump. They know how the left plays the race card. They aren't fooled by the fake news of the NYT. - August 4, 2018 at 8:24 PM

We looked at the traditional (and painstaking) water bath poaching method for inspiration, but designed the Poacher for modern cooks with a little more on their plate. The high-heat resistant silicone body cradles the eggs while the funnel shape guides them into the water to prevent the yolk from breaking. A carefully designed hole pattern optimizes water flow around eggs for even cooking. When they're ready, use the handy tab to safely remove the Poacher from the water. With helpful fill lines show just how much water to use and collapsible, compact storage, you're sure to make eggs that are as pretty as a picture.

Two government entities are investigating the Bush administration over the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Christian Science Monitor reports the US Interior Department is reviewing the scientific integrity of decisions made by a political appointee, Julie MacDonald, who recently resigned under fire. Fish and Wildlife Service employees complained that MacDonald bullied, insulted, and harassed the professional staff to alter their biological reporting. The inspector noted that although she has no formal educational background in biology, she nevertheless labored long and hard editing, commenting on, and reshaping the endangered species program's scientific reports from the field. Last week Fish and Wildlife announced that eight decisions MacDonald made under the ESA would be examined for scientific and legal discrepancies.
Meanwhile Congress is investigating evidence that Vice President Dick Cheney interfered with decisions involving water in California and Oregon resulting in a mass kill of Klamath River salmon, including threatened species. As the CSM reports, both episodes illustrate the Bush administration's resistance to the law. Earlier, the Washington Post ran the story of Cheney's personal interference in the water decision that killed the salmon in 2002:
In Oregon, a battleground state that the Bush-Cheney ticket had lost by less than half of 1 percent, drought-stricken farmers and ranchers were about to be cut off from the irrigation water that kept their cropland and pastures green. Federal biologists said the Endangered Species Act left the government no choice: The survival of two imperiled species of fish was at stake. Law and science seemed to be on the side of the fish. Then the vice president stepped in. First Cheney looked for a way around the law, aides said. Next he set in motion a process to challenge the science protecting the fish, according to a former Oregon congressman who lobbied for the farmers. Because of Cheney's intervention, the government reversed itself and let the water flow in time to save the 2002 growing season, declaring that there was no threat to the fish. What followed was the largest fish kill the West had ever seen, with tens of thousands of salmon rotting on the banks of the Klamath River.
Or, in the words of Bruce Barcott in MoJo's piece, What's A River For?:
On the morning of September 19, 2002, the Yurok fishermen who set their gill nets near the mouth of the Klamath River arrived to find the largest salmon run in years fully under way. The fish had returned from the ocean to the Klamath, on the Northern California coast, to begin their long trip upstream to spawn; there were thousands of them, as far as the eye could see. And they were dying. Full-grown 30-pounders lay beached on shore-line rocks. Smaller fish floated in midriver eddies. Day after day they kept washing up; by the third day, biologists were estimating that 33,000 fish had been killed [since revised upward to 70,000] in one of the largest salmon die-offs in U.S. history. The Yurok knew immediately what had happened. For months they, along with state experts and commercial fishermen, had been pleading with the federal government to stop diverting most of the river's water into the potato and alfalfa fields of Oregon's upper Klamath Basin. But the Bureau of Reclamation, the agency in charge of federal irrigation projects, refused to intervene.
The CSM reports the House Natural Resources Committee has scheduled a hearing next week to investigate political influence on agency science and decisionmaking. As reported in the Blue Marble scientists are aware of the persistent unsciencing of their work. Thirty-eight prominent wildlife biologists and environmental ethics specialists recently signed a letter protesting a new Bush administration interpretation of the Endangered Species Act. They're concerned for the future of animals such as wolves and grizzly bears. If Interior Department Solicitor David Bernhardt has his way, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will have to protect animals and plants only where they're actually battling for survival, not where they're in good shape. That means, for instance, that Bald Eagles would never have been protected decades ago since they were doing fine in Alaska, although practically extinct in the lower 48.
During Bush/Cheney, the listing of endangered and threatened species has slowed to a fraction the number the Bush senior made in only four years (58 new listings compared with 231), and most of those were court-ordered, according to the CSM. New funding has been cut as well, and only 278 candidate species are waiting to join the list of 1,352. Mother Jones' recent piece, Gone, detailed why the presence of many kinds of life on earth is important to the survival of life itself. Seven of 10 biologists believe the sixth great extinction currently underway is a greater threat to life on earth than even global climate change.
It's ephemerally comforting to think George W. Bush might go down in history as the worst of all U.S. presidents. More realistically, Dick Cheney will get the honor. . . Assuming there's a history to come. JULIA WHITTY

D.A Mishani is an Israeli literature scholar who specializes in the history of detective fiction. And recently he became a novelist as well — his debut, The Missing File, was published in the U.S. in March. Its hero is police inspector Avraham Avraham, a lonely character who, on most nights, eats dinner in front of his TV. Only Avraham's parents call to wish him mazel tov on his birthday, and he can't solve the case at the center of the story because he refuses to suspect anyone. He is also one of the few detectives ever written in Hebrew.
I talked to Mishani on the phone on a Thursday night, close to midnight his time, about why there are so few Israeli detective novels, whether writing about crime can make you paranoid, and why it was important to him to write a detective who believes everyone is innocent.
Why are there so few detective novels written in Hebrew?
"Israeli literature, when it emerged in the mid-19th century, started very much within the Jewish national project of reviving the Hebrew language. So the literature was really connected to national issues. It had to deal with Jewish identity, Jewish past, Jewish future. The detective is the most global and universal of genres — it deals with violence, with urban existence — which didn't have anything to do with those national themes. In the 1930s, when the first translations of the Sherlock Holmes stories were published, they were denounced. Because Hebrew is a sacred language and even when we're secularizing it, it should still be used for national purposes.
"There's also another, sociological reason. In the States, when you think of a protagonist, you can think of Dirty Harry. Or the sheriff in Westerns. But in Israel, the protagonists have always been 'the soldier' or 'the spy.' Traditionally members of the police in Israel were Sephardic Jews. They often came from lower classes. It was — I think maybe it's changing now — but it was very difficult to conceive of a police officer as a hero."
Where is your police officer from?
"He is from a family of Sephardic Jews. He comes from a suburb of Tel Aviv. It's not a poor suburb, but lower middle class. He's not glamorous."
So in a way, your novel is political.
"In a way. It was not what I intended to do. I wanted to write the detective that I like in Hebrew, and to try to see if it's possible to bring this genre that I admire to Israel."
In The Missing File, Avraham, your detective, says Israeli writers don't write detective novels because there are no mysterious crimes in Israel for detectives to crack.
"The detective novel emerged in the middle of the 19th century in London, New York, Paris. One of the main reasons is that people were living in urban communities. The detective is the guy that goes around in the city where nobody knows each other. When there's a serious crime going on and nobody knows who did it. In Israel, you have less ways to disappear. It's supposed to be a community where everybody knows each other."
Do you think that's changing?
"I'm sure. The fact that there are more and more crime novels in Israel — original and in translation — is one of the symptoms of a society that is changing from communal to a society that is more urban."
So are detective novels symptoms of an unhealthy society?
"I don't know if it's a question of moving from a bad system to a good system or the other way around. It's two different social control systems. Israel is moving from a more communal social control system to a more, I would say, modern, Western system. And ... it's for sure good for a crime writer."
Does spending so much time thinking about detective novels make you paranoid?
"[laughs] I teach a class at the University of Tel Aviv about the history of the detective novel. On the first day, I warn the students that they should be aware that to every student who takes this class strange things happen. I've had students that things were stolen from them during class. You know, very, very strange things. It is part of the detective's world. The detective — one of the things that he teaches us is to be paranoid. The detective tells us: 'Look around you. Everyone around you is a suspect.'
"In a way, it's something I'm trying to write against. When I started The Missing File, I told myself that instead of a detective who frames people, I want a detective who acquits people — who sees people as innocent, not as guilty. This is, in fact, Avraham's problem. He believes everyone is innocent. Sadly, he's mistaken. In the second novel [Possibility of Violence, coming out in the U.S. next April], he's traumatized. His lesson was, 'Don't trust anybody.' I hope that in the end, he understands he shouldn't be like that. It's something — if you read too many detective stories there is that danger."
Do you think that there are certain rules that you have to follow as a detective novelist to stay within the tradition of the genre? Raymond Chandler, for instance, made a list of commandments.
"I didn't read the commandments. But writing in a genre, the greatest thing about it is that you don't have to pretend that you are original all the time. You can pay tribute to other writers. I always wanted to add my own detective to this crowded stage of literary detectives. But I didn't want him to dance there by himself. I wanted him to join this ongoing dance of hundreds of wonderful detectives that were written in all languages."
I'm bad at reading detective novels. The ending always shocks me. Do you have any tips? Do you make Excel spreadsheets?
"Maybe I'll surprise you, but I'm bad at it too. I never know who the murderer is. When I watch movies on TV with my wife she always asks me, 'So you're the expert. Who's the killer?' And I never know. I always go for the craziest thing. Probably the guy that we saw for one second in the third minute of the movie. And normally she's right and I'm wrong. That's the embarrassing thing."

Investment Basics – Understanding Your Gains And Losses
When you're reviewing your investments, it's important to remember that income and returns come from two main sources, Capital Gains and Interim Income.
Capital gain (or loss)
This is the difference in the overall value of your investment between when you purchased it and now (or the date that you sold it.) You can work it out as:
((Current or sale price per unit – purchase price) * number of units) – fees and taxes
For example, let's assume that you purchased 100 shares of Amazing Blue Widget Co. for $50 each and then sold them for $80 each. You had to pay $10 to buy, $10 to sell and 15% tax on the profit, this would work out to: (($80 – $50)*100) – $20 – $450 = $2,430 or a return of 48.6% on your original $5,000 investment.
Interim income (dividends, interest etc.)
This is the amount that you've received in interim payments over the life of your investment. It's calculated as:
(Interim % * value of investment) – taxes
You would need to work this out for each interim payment that you receive.
For example, let's assume that you've held 100 ABWC shares for three years, and that they paid dividends of 3% a year; in the first year the shares were $50 each, in the second, $60 each and in the third $80 each. Your return would be: 3% of $5,000, $6,000 and $8,000 less tax; this works out to: $485.
Your total return
This is equal to your capital gain (or loss) plus your interim income. You can then compare this to your original purchase price to understand what percentage gain or loss that you've made.
For example, your purchase price of ABWC shares was $5,000; over three years, you've made $2,430 in capital gains and $485 in interim returns (dividends) for a total of $2,915. That's an increase of 58.3% over three years, or 19.4% a year – Not bad!
You should compare your total return to your targets and life goals. This can help you decide if you should keep your investments, or if it would be wise to sell them.

Prop. 19: California Marijuana Legalization Measure Loses
In a contest that pitted the legal establishment against activists that have long sought the measure's approval, California voters snuffed out a proposal that would have legalized recreational marijuana for adults over age 21 and permit the state to tax commercial sale of the drug.
California was the only state with a measure on recreational pot, but South Dakota and Arizona ballots included medical marijuana initiatives, South Dakota's Measure 13 went down in flames, 63 percent to 37 percent. Arizona's Proposition 203 was statistically on the fence, though no-votes were ahead by about 7,000 with 92 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday morning. There are currently 14 states, and the District of Columbia, with forms of medical marijuana laws.

The FIFA 2014 World Cup in Brazil has so far been the biggest and most expensive tournament in soccer history. With ticket sales almost reaching full capacity and an estimate of over 500,000 visitors from around the world, the economic impact of this year's World Cup has reached an all-time high. However, keeping this incredible event eco-friendly has been a daunting task with large amounts of pressure from environmental protection agencies around the world.
This year's World Cup has exceeded CO2 emissions of the last World Cup in South Africa by over 1 million tons of CO2 with a total of 2.7 million tons. According to a study done by FIFA, and estimated 60% of the CO2 emissions are produced by transportation of personnel, equipment, teams, and fans coming from all over the world. Measures have been made to help prevent and offset the environmental impact such as building stadiums that run on solar power, rainwater collection facilities, and a large recycling program, but with any event on a scale and this grand is always a large environmental toll.
UNEP and Brazil's Ministries of Environment, Sports, Tourism, and Social Development have teamed up to create and promote Green Passport Tours which promotes sustainable tourism specifically for World Cup 2014. FIFA's head of corporate social responsibility, Federico Addiechi, pledges to offset 100% of the 2.7 million tons of CO2 emissions starting next summer with programs in reforestation and investment in wind energy and hydroelectric power.
Even with the changes that have been made to create a more sustainable World Cup, significant environmental improvements need to be made when hosting an event like the Olympics or World Cup; which emissions can equate to having 560,000 cars on the road for a year or the burning of 1.46 million tons of coal. Aside from emissions, the materials that were needed to improve Brazil's infrastructure, build the stadiums and other buildings, power all telecommunications and TVs around the world, which has reached up to 3.2 billion viewers according to Bloomberg, also added to the degradation of the environment. With over $4 billion in untaxed revenue FIFA received for this World Cup alone, more time and money should be allocated towards the sustainability of our environment.
Environmental improvements for future World Cups have great potential if more leadership and requirements from FIFA were to be made. With hosting the World Cup being highly desirable for countries around the world, requiring more and stricter environmental standards for the host country would drastically improve environmental quality for these events. FIFA holds great power with its sponsors and host country and has the ability to use that leverage with changes such as requiring an amount of funding specifically for environmental health, eco architectural standards for all new stadiums, positioning all new stadiums to be near public transportation for less vehicle carbon emissions, or requiring an environmental advisor to assist the planning process for stadiums, hospitality and transportation.
All of these changes have the potential of making a large positive impact on the environment along with creating more awareness to the importance of sustainability. With great the support of FIFA, the World Cup could become an event not just for the love of soccer, but for new sustainable ideas that could be showcased to the world.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Ideal Boiler Questions
An F1 error code is a common problem and, the error code means that the pressure on your boiler pressure has fallen and that it needs to be increased before the system will run again.
One of the most common reasons for a lack of hot water is a boiler fault. Contact a GSR Engineer ASAP if your boiler is faulty. Other causes could be low or high water pressure, an interruption to the power supply, an issue with the timer or a piping issue.
This is most likely cause is the comfort feature being active and this would be displayed on the screen with a c symbol. If you turn the hot water control all the way to 0 then back to your desired temperature, the c symbol will disappear.
If your boiler is heating water but not your radiators, then the cause could be a faulty boiler pump or your central heating controls. Check that the thermostat or timer is working correctly as this may be the issue.
Most newer boilers have sensors that will measure the pressure of the water in the system. If the pressure drops, the sensors kick in and display an error code and a red light may display on the board. This simply means the boiler is not firing correctly.
Anywhere between 1.0 and 2.0 bar is ideal. The exact recommended pressure level will depend on the boiler manufacturer. When heating your home or having the hot tap on, the boiler pressure level will rise, but it should stay below the upper-pressure limit of 3 bar.
