No upgrades. M+ Exclusive.
1) Newly activated lines on Member+ (i.e., via Truly Free 2 Plan)(Please see " How to Subscribe to Member+, If You Don't Have a Plan Yet" below for details), or
2) Additional new lines activated on this Plan on accounts which have already one or more Member+ lines on the same account. Those lines don't need a Member+ subscription and can piggyback on existing Member+ subscriptions on a 1 to 1 ratio. So, one additional new line per Member+ line on the same account.
**Please note there are no upgrades available. For additional clarity, this Plan requires a new line activation, and a Member+ subscription.
Important note to mods and others. This Flash is for everyone for today but it will continue for several days for Member+ Momentum NEW LINES ONLY.
Quote :Member+ can sign up (activate a new line) when it is for new activations only. Member+ has the additional benefit of having access to Flash Promos (like Momentum) for 2 days after the flash closes. (In this case of Momentum, the re-opening period for Member+ will be announced after the close of this flash period.) When there are promos (not this one) that allow for Member+ to switch (rather than activate a new line), the text of the promo will say something like "This plan is available for Member+ Upgrades." Clearly, this promo's announcement says no such thing. No upgrades!
Overage pricing has been reduced back to 2 cents per minute / txt / MB if you exceed allotments.
Tethering Add On pricing reduced for this promo: $5.99 per month
For starters you need to check your phone at Ringplus or TING BYOSD

FED - PLEASE READ ... Important Activation Notice Regarding Prepaid Phones referred to as FED = Financial Eligibility Date (sometimes people use FEC=Financial Eligibility Check) https://social.ringplus
Starting April 17, 2016, per our carrier partner Sprint, Members and potential Members will no longer be able to activate prepaid devices which are not eligible under Sprint's FED policies (explained below). Such prepaid devices will no longer pass FED until actual eligibility date is met. This is not a new Sprint policy. It is merely a system update to the Sprint system to comply with Sprint's existing FED policies, and to close the gap in the system that allowed such devices to pass FED and be activated on carriers other than those that originally sold the device ("originating carrier").
FED - Starting 4/17, in order to activate a Sprint/Boot/Virgin prepaid phone with RingPlus, the phone must have been active with its original carrier for 12 months.
- Already activated phones are not affected because they will not trigger the rule.
- But if you deactivate a phone, you will trigger the rule when you (re)activate the phone.
- You will no longer be able to activate a new-in-box Sprint/Boost/Virgin prepaid phone (e.g., from Best Buy) with RingPlus.
- Upgrading a line to a different plan is NOT an activation, but swapping to an inactive phone will mean an FED check
A Lifetime Financing Add On for Member+ is available. The cost is $19.99 for 8 consecutive months = $160. Meaning you have to pay the Lifetime Member+ fee for 8 months in a row to gain Lifetime status. If you don't pay for a month you will lose the Member+ status and your account will be downgraded to the Truly Free 2 plan.
Roaming for non-M+ now available for $50+tax
Per minute / per MB charges still apply.
All port-ins to RingPlus during this Promotion will be Free for Eligible phones which pass the RingPlus Check Tool
Eligible phones include Sprint Network compatible phones, and other eligible phones from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile (and their MVNOs) as indicated below:

Road bike tyres: Advantages of foldable tyres
A good weight, little roll resistance, still a solid puncture protection: This is how a solid road bike tyre looks like. What's more, if it is a foldable tyre, then a few further plus points are added:
The advantage of foldable tyres is easily recognizable, instead of a metal wire, a Kevlar® wire (nylon fabric) is incorporated into the carcass. Although this is also a wire netting, it is a flexible one. This enables the folding of the tyre and thus it is definitely the more suitable replacement tyre for your road bike tour - contrary to the typical wired-on-tyre which cannot be folded. Furthermore, the foldable tyre has noticeably less weight. For a road biker, an argument he places emphasis on is saving weight on the wheels, the rotating mass. Is there any disadvantage of the folded tyres? Well, all the advantages mentioned are reflected in the price, the foldable road bike tyre is a bit more cost-intensive than the wired-on-tyre. The bottom line is, a tyre remains a tyre, the function is the same. But nowadays, mainly folded tyres are used on the road bikes in the top class - unless one is set on tubular tyres. The major deciding factors for most road bikers are the weight and transportability. To that end, one is also ready to accept a more complicated installation of the folded tyre, if required.

I like Call of Juarez the cartel, some nice actions in the game with lots of weapons... different stories with 3 different characters.. graphics is not so sharp as compare to GUNSLINGER but gamaplay was awesome.. the big problem is game saving, in game shows game is saving but actually dont.. you have to complete whole single chapter continuosly if you quit game before complete chapter you have to play whole chapter again from starting its very very irritating... anyway if you like Action dont forget to but it

Edit Article
How to Become an Ultimate Anime Fan
Are you interested in anime, but envy people who are really into it? This article will help you be a better anime fan.
1Decide which kind of anime you want to watch based on general type, demographic or themes.
2Start by researching. If you don't have a favorite anime series or movie, find out what that is first and then surf the web for fan-sites so you can learn more about it and find out about similar anime. Go a little further in your research than just the plot or characters. If it's a historical anime, research the period in history. Find out what style it's in as well (Wikipedia has a good article which breaks down the different anime genres).
3Consider buying some. After you have an idea of the anime you like, start investing some serious time into it...and cash. Most rental stores have an okay selection of anime now, and often Adult Swim has a decent anime lineup, but you'll probably have to buy most of what you watch (or, if you're lucky, you can borrow from or trade with friends). Price shop as much as possible, and go for box sets whenever you can. Don't forget about graphic novels!
4Cover your room with anime posters and toys. Get posters from a local comic shop or online.
5Subscribe to or buy magazines like Anime Insider and Newtype. They show Anime in Japan and what will be hot in the U.S. Knowing more about upcoming anime makes you a more well-informed fan.
6Watch with subtitles. Learning to watch anime in Japanese with subtitles is essential.
7Stop downloading once licensed. There are many great scanlation sites out there to get anime and manga that's only available in Japan in English! It is important to support your favorite mangaka (Manga artist) and type of fandom. Be sure to stop downloading from these sites once the anime is licensed. See tips below.
8Buy accessories including t-shirts, plushes, keychains, stickers, model kits, soundtracks and even weapons (such as Kenshin's reverse blade sword). Even more time and money goes into this stage. Don't forget music and graphics for your computer.
9Develop your own anime persona. There are plenty of online quizzes which can let you know which anime character you are - so find out! You may even find an RPG to help you live your fantasy out with. Most characters have a signature technique or phrase, so try thinking up one of your own and sprinkle it into conversations or battles.
10Start a fan site. This is where you can write plot summaries, put up pictures of your collectibles (and yourself in costume if you wish)and start message boards. Choose your clever domain name before it's gone!
11Start drawing Anime! It's always good to know how to draw it too!
Community Q&A
My parents don't allow me to cosplay, but I am still an anime lover, is this still considered as an anime fan?wikiHow ContributorYes, if you won't able to cosplay that's all right. You don't really need to cosplay animes just because you are a anime-lover. You can try developing some habits like them instead of changing/transforming yourself into them. Don't worry if you aren't able to cosplay, you'll still be considered as anime fan. You can also try out the other things mentioned in articles.
When teaching little kids how to become anime fans, should I show them the sub or dub first?wikiHow ContributorIt depends how young the kids are. If the kids are very young and can't read well, they might prefer the dub. If the kids are older and can read well, they might appreciate the sub.
Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- If you have Comcast, go to the Funimation channel On Demand. It is under the Cutting Edge section. There is a ton of new hot Anime titles including School Rumble, Monster, Strike Witches, and more!
- Downloading fan-subbed episodes is just as illegal before licensing as it is afterwards. Japanese companies have started to crack down on illegal fan-subbers. *Consider: Being the ultimate fan is way more than watching whatever Adult Swim is playing. Try watching many different anime to find a genre that's best suited for you. There are many different types, so there's a guarantee you'll find one you'll like.
- Make sure to keep up to date on popular shows like Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
- Sites like : www.animenewsnetwork.com ; axiumanime.ucoz.com ; www.theotaku.com ; www.theanimenetwork.com ; www.funimation.com - are the places you can socialize with other anime fans . Also when chatting , try asking the person what anime he thinks you should watch (after telling them what anime you like). It helps !
- While it can be financially risky and on questionable legal ground, a lot of anime can be found in the form of bootlegged DVD sets on eBay and websites like Sphiatt.com. Check legitimacy against other buyers before giving out your credit card information.
- If your favorite genre turns out to be Hentai, Yaoi, or Yuri, proceed with steps 3-5 at your own peril. These can be considered "Adult Anime".
- Don't overdo it when you don't need to. For example, don't reference an anime event or character when you answer a question the teacher asks at school. As an example, don't write something on an assignment like, "George Washington was determined to win the war against the British, just like Naruto won't stop on the road to Hokage."
- Many people unconditionally believe that all anime are stupid. If you are an anime fan, they will, by extension, think you're stupid. Be ready for that.
- Anime is sometimes considered a subset of geekdom. Be prepared to hear the words geek and nerd used to describe you in a non complimentary way. Remember that this doesn't change who you are - you can still be a football quarterback and be "into" anime.
- Most people will look at you oddly if you're overly enthusiastic about anime in inappropriate contexts. Suppress your power level.
- Do not invest life funds in anime. If you are young you may find yourself getting bored with anime after a while.
Things You'll Need
- DVD player (optional if you have the next one)
- Computer and Internet Access
- Extra cash or a benefactor

Democrats Abandon Due Process

Democrats Abandon Due Process
by KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON June 23, 2016 1:50 PM @KEVINNR
First the First, second the Second and the Fifth Amendments In September of 2014, Senate Democrats voted to repeal the First Amendment. They were enraged by a Supreme Court decision holding that ordinary constitutional protections for free speech prohibited the government from punishing political activists who had shown a film critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election. This was a straightforward case of classical political speech critics of Mrs. Clinton arguing that shed make a poor president and distributing a film making that case and Democrats, including every single Democrat in the Senate, insisted that that isnt what the First Amendment is intended to protect. They started at the beginning, and are making their way down the Bill of Rights, with the Second Amendment and the Fifth Amendment. The Second Amendment holds that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, while the Fifth provides that no one may be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
These are what are known as civil rights, meaning the rights associated with citizenship, rights having to do with the relationship between people or the People as the Constitution puts it and their government. Many Americans do not think of the right to keep and bear arms as a civil right, but they are mistaken. It helps to understand things from the point of view of the Founders and the 18th-century radical liberals whose ideas shaped our republic. Prior to the American founding, the right to keep and bear arms was generally limited to the aristocracy; it was, like the possession of a title or a coat of arms (coat of what?), a bright and dramatic dividing line between the ruling class and the ruled classes, between the Whos and Whoms of society. Arguments about licensing the carry of weapons are hardly new: Caravaggio was arrested for carrying without a license (a sword, in his case) in 1598 near the Piazza Navona in Rome at 3 a.m.
The bearing of arms is a sign of citizenship, which is to say, of being a full participant in government who acts through it, as opposed to subjectship, the state of being a passive being who does not act through government but who is acted upon. In that sense, it is like the ability to vote or to be eligible for service in government. Frederick Douglass understood this linkage perfectly, inasmuch as these ideas were much better understood in those more literate days. A mans rights rest in three boxes, he said. The ballot box, jury box, and the cartridge box. Let no man be kept from the ballot box because of his color. Let no woman be kept from the ballot box because of her sex. The militias contemplated by the Second Amendment were armed citizen volunteers who could act to use the force of arms to keep the peace in an emergency; they are entitled to act in the peacekeeping role generally reserved for the state because, being the citizens of a republic, they are the state, the very seat of its sovereignty. The formal government is a provisional arrangement (hence regular elections) constituted as a convenience. While the Second Amendment may not codify a right of revolution, as some put it, the idea of armed citizens pushing out a government that had become inconvenient, a burden on their liberties rather than a guarantor of them, could hardly have been alien to a group of men who had just risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor doing just that.
The Democrat party has abandoned the notion of procedural justice in pursuit of substantive outcomes demanded by its supporters, the rule of law be damned. The Fifth Amendment, with its emphasis on process, is an expression of the republican ideal of justice, which is oriented toward process rather than outcomes. The classical liberal view is that justice has two components, a procedural one and a substantive one, and that the law is organized to ensure procedural justice, i.e., that all men are treated equally and that no one is penalized without the formal criteria of the law having been satisfied. This is why even the worst criminals, caught red-handed in the act, are given trials with legal representation, the presentation of evidence, a robust defense, and the consideration of a jury rather than being torn to pieces in the street. Lynching a child molester might satisfy substantive justice in that the offender did indeed deserve to die for his crimes, but it does not satisfy procedural justice, which is what the law concerns itself with. Because mobs are prone to error and easily misled, one of the functions of procedural justice is to protect substantive justice (beyond a reasonable doubt and all that), but it also exists to ensure the orderly functioning of a society under the rule of law, which is why we generally accept the enforcement of unjust or unwise laws (e.g., the prohibition of marijuana) while we work to change them.
It is a measure of the corruption of the Democratic party and its ability to inspire corruption in others that John Lewis, once a civil-rights leader, is today leading a movement to strip Americans of their civil rights based on secret lists of subversives compiled by police agencies and the military. Perhaps it has not occurred to Representative Lewis that his mentor, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., also was on a secret government list, as indeed was Lewis himself under the watchful eye of J. Edgar Hoover. The Democrats demand that Americans be stripped of their Second Amendment rights with no attention paid to the Fifth Amendment, to due process. They propose that Americans be stripped of their legal protections under the Bill of Rights even when they have not been charged with, much less convicted of, a crime. They propose that this be done on the basis of a series of secret government lists, whose contents, criteria, and keepers are treated as state secrets. You cannot call yourself a liberal and endorse that. You cannot call yourself a liberal and endure that.
The Democratic party in 2016 is not a liberal party. It is a party that is working diligently to rescind free-speech rights on one front and to undermine due-process protections on another. It has abandoned the notion of procedural justice in pursuit of substantive outcomes demanded by its supporters, the rule of law be damned. There is a term for the armed pursuit of justice, real or perceived, outside the rule of law, and that term is lynching. The Democrats have lynching in their political DNA, and they seem to be unable to evolve past it. Ironically, their abandonment of due process and their flirtation with tyranny are reminders of one of the reasons why the Founders believed it necessary to have an armed citizenry. That is an unpleasant thing to contemplate. Better that all of us, conservatives and the genuinely liberal alike, should demand the rule of law, due process and all, even for our political opponents, even when we do not like the outcome.

Denial Dies in Dallas

Denial Dies in Dallas
By Richard Fernandez July 7, 2016
Beware, really beware
The dry branches were piled high on the forest floor waiting for a spark. The City Journal wrote:
Violence in Chicago is reaching epidemic proportions. In the first five months of 2016, someone was shot every two and a half hours and someone murdered every 14 hours, for a total of nearly 1,400 nonfatal shooting victims and 240 fatalities. Over Memorial Day weekend, 69 people were shot, nearly one per hour, dwarfing the previous years tally of 53 shootings over the same period. The violence is spilling over from the citys gang-infested South and West Sides into the downtown business district; Lake Shore Drive has seen drive-by shootings and robberies.
The crime wave in Chicago illustrates how politicians trapped themselves in a vise of conflicting expectations from which there is no escape. It has proved impossible to do something and its opposite simultaneously, in this case withdraw the police and protect the community. It may prove just as impossible to require transgender bathrooms and guarantee no sexual harassment takes place or open the borders while promising there will be no terror attacks. When one thinks of it, making health care "affordable" while opening it to high risk groups was always a unlikely proposition.
Impossible, yet Big Tent constituencies are routinely green-lighted on both ends of a one way street and told to floor the pedal. For a while they could spin it with smoke and mirrors. But in the end, illusion does not last.
What if I told you, asks a Matrix-themed photo meme circulating on Facebook, that you can be against cops murdering citizens and citizens murdering cops at the same time? To that one might reply that the America in which that was possible might have died in Dallas, Texas in the last few hours. The age of the zero sum game may have arrived with a vengeance.
Dallas police say four officers have died after at least two snipers opened fire during protests downtown. Seven other officers were wounded.
Police Chief David O. Brown said police have a suspect cornered in a garage and are negotiating with that person. He says the snipers fired upon officers "ambush style."
Brown had said three officers were killed, and police issued a tweet later saying a fourth officer had died. Brown says snipers shot from "elevated positions" during a protest over two recent fatal police shootings.
Was terrorism involved? Were the ideas of Ferguson taken to their final, frightening conclusion? While the individual culprits of the shooting have yet to be identified, the factors which have turned the summer of 2016 into a witches' brew were clear for all to see. It is the culmination of decades of identity politics, the fruit of open borders, the outcome of an unwarranted disdain for Islamic extremism, the destruction of everything once held in common. Most of all it is the product of a collapse in legitimacy that has soured the public on nearly every institution: the political parties, the Supreme Court, the presidency, the police and the FBI. Now at the very moment when the public needs to trust someone the question is: whom can you trust?
The security system of America is trust, which manifests itself in legitimacy which in turn makes it possible to govern a huge nation largely on consent. The mistake was to believe it was possible to play the identity card endlessly, to set one against another, to destroy trust -- without consequences.
The public is suddenly face to face with the realization that the solid status quo is a fragile facade that might at any moment dissolve into something unrecognizable. It's a veneer masking a crumbling structure. Donald and Hillary are not freaks. They are monsters from our Id. If any proof were needed that the discontent sweeping Europe and the United States is all too real, that the can has reached the end of the road, it may be provided in the next few weeks.
Dallas leaves the Narrative with no place to go. What'll it be? Withdraw the police from the streets? Crack down on the usual suspects? Announce this was the work of that Jayvee team, ISIS? Close the borders? Confiscate the guns? Call in the FBI?
Or maybe we can listen to another speech about how hatred is on its last legs? There's nowhere to turn without admitting failure. Or perhaps we can just change the subject and talk about the war on women and Christian hatred? What'll it be? It's always worked before, maybe it'll work again.
For once the Narrative will find this can't be spun, though it will try, this time in the growing realization that lies may only make it worse, as the former lies have worsened things till now. The roots of discontent run deep. The status quo has been living on borrowed money and borrowed truth. It is now living on borrowed time.
Denial will no longer work. That is the single most important thing to understand.
Dallas chief of police David Brown described the motive of one attacker. He "wanted to kill white people", especially police., as the Washington Post reports. It's a sad outcome. The Narrative truly has nowhere left to go.

Agree 100%.
That still doesn't solve the domestic, multicultural problem. People simply do not ave the same values, and people on both sides of that have ceased valueing life because they know that it's cheap.
What to do with them? It isn't just fringe people either. It is people on both sides of the law.... both actively speaking about how people on the other side of the law should be killed, depending on who they are or what they've done. Violence begets violence. Always has, always will.
Theeconomy is one of the best ways to solve this.... People becoming rich goes a long way in quieting that masses.
It's all a matter of perspective.

Cognitive Dissonance of the left, Socialism for the Uninformed, Thomas Sowell

I have a feeling all the people who really need to read Thomas Sowell regularly don't. For one thing Hillary, socialism and all your Bernie inspired policy proposals are anti-science and anti-economics, a denial that incentives and disincentives affect behavior and outcomes.
Socialism for the Uninformed
Thomas Sowell
By Thomas Sowell
Published May 31, 2016
Socialism sounds great. It has always sounded great. And it will probably always continue to sound great. It is only when you go beyond rhetoric, and start looking at hard facts, that socialism turns out to be a big disappointment, if not a disaster.
While throngs of young people are cheering loudly for avowed socialist Bernie Sanders, socialism has turned oil-rich Venezuela into a place where there are shortages of everything from toilet paper to beer, where electricity keeps shutting down, and where there are long lines of people hoping to get food, people complaining that they cannot feed their families.
With national income going down, and prices going up under triple-digit inflation in Venezuela, these complaints are by no means frivolous. But it is doubtful if the young people cheering for Bernie Sanders have even heard of such things, whether in Venezuela or in other countries around the world that have turned their economies over to politicians and bureaucrats to run.
The anti-capitalist policies in Venezuela have worked so well that the number of companies in Venezuela is now a fraction of what it once was. That should certainly reduce capitalist "exploitation," shouldn't it?
But people who attribute income inequality to capitalists exploiting workers, as Karl Marx claimed, never seem to get around to testing that belief against facts such as the fact that none of the Marxist regimes around the world has ever had as high a standard of living for working people as there is in many capitalist countries.
Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of the left. What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated.
When Senator Sanders cries, "The system is rigged!" no one asks, "Just what specifically does that mean?" or "What facts do you have to back that up?"
In 2015, the 400 richest people in the world had net losses of $19 billion. If they had rigged the system, surely they could have rigged it better than that.
But the very idea of subjecting their pet notions to the test of hard facts will probably not even occur to those who are cheering for socialism and for other bright ideas of the political left.
How many of the people who are demanding an increase in the minimum wage have ever bothered to check what actually happens when higher minimum wages are imposed? More often they just assume what is assumed by like-minded peers sometimes known as "everybody," with their assumptions being what "everybody knows."
Back in 1948, when inflation had rendered meaningless the minimum wage established a decade earlier, the unemployment rate among 16-17-year-old black males was under 10 percent. But after the minimum wage was raised repeatedly to keep up with inflation, the unemployment rate for black males that age was never under 30 percent for more than 20 consecutive years, from 1971 through 1994. In many of those years, the unemployment rate for black youngsters that age exceeded 40 percent and, for a couple of years, it exceeded 50 percent.
The damage is even greater than these statistics might suggest. Most low-wage jobs are entry-level jobs that young people move up out of, after acquiring work experience and a track record that makes them eligible for better jobs. But you can't move up the ladder if you don't get on the ladder.
The great promise of socialism is something for nothing. It is one of the signs of today's dumbed-down education that so many college students seem to think that the cost of their education should and will be paid by raising taxes on "the rich."
Here again, just a little check of the facts would reveal that higher tax rates on upper-income earners do not automatically translate into more tax revenue coming in to the government. Often high tax rates have led to less revenue than lower tax rates.
In a globalized economy, high tax rates may just lead investors to invest in other countries with lower tax rates. That means that jobs created by those investments will be overseas.
None of this is rocket science. But you do have to stop and think and that is what too many of our schools and colleges are failing to teach their students to do.

Diversity: History's Pathway to Chaos
Victor Davis Hanson
Posted: Aug 25, 2016 12:01 AM
Emphasizing diversity has been the pitfall, not the strength, of nations throughout history.
The Roman Empire worked as long as Iberians, Greeks, Jews, Gauls and myriad other African, Asian and European communities spoke Latin, cherished habeas corpus and saw being Roman as preferable to identifying with their own particular tribe. By the fifth century, diversity had won out but would soon prove a fatal liability.
Rome disintegrated when it became unable to assimilate new influxes of northern European tribes. Newcomers had no intention of giving up their Gothic, Hunnish or Vandal identities.
The propaganda of history's multicultural empires -- the Ottoman, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian, the British and the Soviet -- was never the strength of their diversity. To avoid chaos, their governments bragged about the religious, ideological or royal advantages of unity, not diversity.
Nor did more modern quagmires like Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Rwanda or Yugoslavia boast that they were "diverse." Instead, their strongman leaders naturally claimed that they shared an all-encompassing commonality.
When such coerced harmony failed, these nations suffered the even worse consequences of diversity, as tribes and sects turned murderously upon each other.
For some reason, contemporary America believes that it can reject its uniquely successful melting pot to embrace a historically dangerous and discredited salad-bowl separatism.
Is there any evidence from the past that institutionalizing sects and ethnic grievances would ensure a nation's security, prosperity and freedom?
CARTOONS | Steve Breen
View Cartoon
America's melting pot is history's sole exception of E pluribus unum inclusivity: a successful multiracial society bound by a common culture, language and values. But this is a historic aberration with a future that is now in doubt.
Some students attending California's Claremont College openly demand roommates of the same race. Racially segregated "safe spaces" are fixtures on college campuses.
We speak casually of bloc voting on the basis of skin color -- as if a lockstep Asian, Latino, black or white vote is a good thing.
We are reverting to the nihilism of the old Confederacy. The South's "one-drop rule" has often been copied to assure employers or universities that one qualifies as a minority.
Some public figures have sought to play up or invent diversity advantages. Sometimes, as in the cases of Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal and Ward Churchill, the result is farce.
Given our racial fixations, we may soon have to undergo computer scans of our skin colors to rank competing claims of grievance.
How does one mete out the relative reparations for various atrocities of the past, such as slavery, the Holocaust, the American Indian wars, the Asian or Catholic exclusion laws, indentured servitude, or the mid-18th-century belief that the Irish were not quite human?
Sanctuary cities, in the manner of 1850s Richmond or Charleston invoking nullification, now openly declare themselves immune from federal law. Does that defiance ensure every city the right to ignore whatever federal laws it finds inconvenient, from the filing of 1040s to voting laws?
The diversity industry hinges on U.S. citizens still envisioning a shrinking white population as the "majority." Yet "white" is now not always easily definable, given intermarriage and constructed identities.
In California, those who check "white" on Orwellian racial boxes are now a minority. Will white Californians soon nightmarishly declare themselves aggrieved minorities and thus demand affirmative action, encourage Viking-like names such as Ragnar or Odin, insert umlauts and diereses into their names to hype their European bona fides, seek segregated European-American dorms and set up "Caucasian Studies" programs at universities?
Women now graduate from college at a higher rate than men. Will there be a male effort to ensure affirmative action for college admissions and graduation rates?
If the white vote reaches 70 percent for a particular candidate, is that really such a good thing, as it was considered to be when President Obama was praised for capturing 95 percent of the black vote?
It is time to step back from the apartheid brink.
Even onetime diversity advocate Oprah Winfrey has had second thoughts about the lack of commonality in America. She recently vowed to quit using the word "diversity" and now prefers "inclusion."
A Latino-American undergraduate who is a student of Shakespeare is not "culturally appropriating" anyone's white-European legacy, but instead seeking transcendence of ideas and a common humanity.
Asian-Americans are not "overrepresented" at premier campuses. Their high-profile presence should be praised as a model, not punished as aberrant by number-crunching bureaucrats.
African-Americans who excel in physics and engineering are not "acting white" but finding the proper pathways for their natural talents.
Being one-half Southeast Asian or three-quarters white is not the touchstone to one's essence and is irrelevant to one's character and conduct.
No one is impinging on anyone's culture when blacks dye their hair blond, or when blondes prefer to wear cornrow braids.
Campuses desperately need unity czars, not diversity czars.
Otherwise, we will end up as 50 separate and rival nations -- just like other failed states in history whose diverse tribes and races destroyed themselves in a Hobbesian dog-eat-dog war with one another.

Paul Krugman, Rapid growth normal out of steep decline,1983-1984 (not 2009-2016)
Reply #779 on:
August 29, 2016, 03:10:15 PM »
Pure, hypocritical nonsense, published for the ages.
The secret of the long climb after 1982 was the economic plunge that preceded it. By the end of 1982 the U.S. economy was deeply depressed, with the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression. So there was plenty of room to grow before the economy returned to anything like full employment.
The depressed economy in 1982 also explains ''Morning in America,'' the economic boom of 1983 and 1984. You see, rapid growth is normal when an economy is bouncing back from a deep slump.
- Nobel winning economist Paul Krugman
The recovery was robust because the policy change was bold and pro-growth.
This is exactly what DIDN'T happen under Obama. Why not? TARP, QE, cash for clunkers, Solyndra and 'don't do stupid shit' is not a bold, pro-growth economic policy. More like a walk to a grave.

"The Reformation and Counter Reformation mostly ended the selling of penances. Only something similar will end our pathetic version, perhaps when the public tunes out at the tired boilerplate of racist, sexist, and nativist; or when we quit sending money to the safe space, trigger warning, micro-aggression Ivy League; or we flip the channel when NFL gladiators playact as robed philosophers; or we laugh off celebrity activists as the new John D. Rockefellers tossing out a few of their shiny new dimes."
As long as the LEFT can keep dipping into taxpayer pockets and buying votes with wealth distribution I don't see any Reformation or Counter Reformation anytime soon. If ever. Till everything collapses.

Champions of the Poor

A while ago, there was a discussion somewhere here about the accumulated wealth of Chavez, Sanders, Clinton, et al., whom are "magnates" of the "people."
I promised GM a list on this a while ago, but here is some of what I have come up with. Throwing it here, because I'm not sure where to put it. I'll admit that I have limited the list to Democrats, due to the fact that Republicans operate under a different philosophy and don't claim to be champions of the poor and oppressed. It bears mentioning, that several politicians, David Koch and Michael Bloomberg for example, either lean heavily left on social issues (as with the former) or in the latter case, started as a Democrat, and registered as a Republican in a traditionally blue state, just to be able to run, therefore, I have also included several RINOs and the sort.
Hillary Clinton $31.3-111 million - Methodist
John Kerry $193 million - Catholic
Al Gore $100 million - Baptist
Ted Kennedy $163 million - Catholic
Nelson Rockefeller $1 billion (deceased, Republican, stated as such on Wikipedia, the idea of any Rockefellers being considered Republican is a joke, but their influence cannot be left out of the discussion and they are widely considered liberals). In fact, Jay Rockefeller will be listed shortly as a Democrat. - Baptist (however they are listed on the list of Jewish Billionaires site)
Mark Dayton Minnesota $1.6 billion - Presbyterian
Jared Polis Colorado $388 million - Jewish
Mark Warner $243 million - Presbyterian
Nancy Pelosi $29 million - 101 million - stated wealth come from "consulting," (for what?) and public relations. - Catholic
Jon Corzine New Jersey $300 million - former Goldman Sachs CEO Comey worked for HSBC, HSBC is connected to the Clinton Foundation (James Comey is a board member of the Clinton Foundation) through a number of initiatives, including its Building the Corporate Coalition, Scaling Rainwater Harvesting for 21st Century Mexico, Investing in Management and Leadership in Vietnam, and other projects. Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, and a number of transnational corporations, also participate. Clinton has given speeches at Goldman Sachs, refused to release the transcripts of speech.
He was charged by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in connection with MF Global's bankruptcy, due to his mismanagement, in 2011. - United Church of Christ
Michael Bloomberg $41.2 billion - Banking industry - A Democrat before seeking elective office, Mayor of New York City - Jewish
David Koch $44.2 billion - Republican/libertarian, but is an admitted social liberal, supporting every hot topic there is, including gay marriage, stem cell research, etc. - Donate to Catholic schools, many think are Jewish. Religion maintained private
Michael McCaul $294 million - NOTED Republican, 2nd wealthiest member of Congress, connected to Clear Channel Communications (as is the bush family), Bush connections to Clear Channel pushing war -
(there is a dead link in the article that was supposed to state where Bush made his money), which Clinton also endorsed "On October 11, 2002, Clinton voted in favor of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq," but a pattern is there, that perhaps all of the politicians are in bed together. An interesting point would be, how did Clinton manage to enrich herself from it? "Campaign 2016: Hillary Clinton Pitched Iraq As 'A Business Opportunity' For US Corporations"
McCaul also voted in favor of the war "Voted YES on declaring Iraq part of War on Terror with no exit date. (Jun 2006)
Point being, this guy is probably about as Republican as anyone, but it is still interesting to see what business ties (making money off of conflict right along with the Democrats) they all have in common (another subject altogether), getting back to Democrats... - Catholic
Rep. John Delaney Democratic Maryland $111.92 million - Made money off of the healthcare and banking industries - Catholic
Sen. Jay Rockefeller Democratic West Virginia $108.05 million - The name speaks for itself as far as involvement in finance and politics goes - Presbyterian - Jewish
Sen. Richard Blumenthal Democratic Connecticut $62.06 million - 80.1million - married to the daughter of Peter L. Malkin, and who's wife's brother has net worth of some $10 billion - Jewish.
Rep. Scott Peters Democratic California $45.04 million - "He served as an economist on the staff of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), then earned a law degree from the New York University School of Law. Peters served as a deputy city attorney in San Diego from 1991 to 1996. Prior to his election to the City Council, Peters worked as an attorney in private practice." How one amasses that much money in being a public servant and a lawyer, is beyond me. -Lutheran
Sen. Dianne Feinstein Democratic California $43.72 - 47.2 million - but is married to Richard Blum who is worth perhaps more than a $1 billion
, much of which accumulated to the way his wife votes. At the age of 23 in 1958, Blum, who is currently 81, held a job working for Sutro & Co., becoming a partner 7 years later. In 1975, he formed his own business, Blum Capital, five years later, marrying Pelosi, who at the time was mayor of San Francisco. When attempting track down Blum's worth in 1980, it is difficult to peg. What is clear; however, is that there has been no shortage of scandals between the two, and that Blum has run his own business as well as chairing CBRE, collectively worth billions, and in no uncertain terms, has used his wife's position to his great advantage. ODDLY, Goldman Sachs pops up here as well. It's probably a coincidence.
Rep. Suzan DelBene Democratic Washington $37.89 million - self made, Microsoft. - Episcopalian
Rep. Chellie Pingree Democratic Maine $34.47 million - Pingree shot up the list this year after her marriage to hedge fund manager Donald Sussman. Sussman has been described as a billionaire by some sources. Sussman himself has donated more than 10 million, the majority to Democrats, 103K to Republicans
- Lutheran-Jewish
Rep. Alan Grayson Democratic Florida $26.18 million - Grayson worked as a law clerk at the Colorado Supreme Court in 1983, and at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals from 1984 to 1985, where he worked with two judges who later joined the U.S. Supreme Court: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia. He was an associate at the Washington, D.C. firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson for five years, where he specialized in contract law. In 1991 he founded the law firm Grayson & Kubli, which concentrated on government contract law. - - Jewish
Rep. Joseph Kennedy III Democratic Massachusetts $20 million - Catholic
Sen. Claire McCaskill Democratic Missouri $18.38 million - Insurance and law - Catholic
Sen. Tom Harkin Democratic Iowa $11.85 million - Military, lawyer, politics - Catholic
Rep. Brad Schneider Democratic Illinois $11.71 million - Business and Insurance -Jewish
Rep. Lloyd Doggett Democratic Texas $11.51 million - Not unlike Sanders, he has only ever worked in politics, left school roughly 1970, since 1973 has been a politician ever since. - Methodist
Rep. Jim Cooper Democratic Tennessee $11.51 million - After getting his law degree, he spent two years working for the law firm Waller, Lansden, Dortch and Davis in Nashville, then ran for Congress in 1982 -Episcopalian
Rep. Nita M. Lowey Democratic New York $11.48 million - Life long career in government and public service - Jewish
Sen. Kay Hagan Democratic North Carolina $9.12 million - Law, Finance and since 1999, politics -Presbyterian
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney Democratic New York $7.73 million - she worked as a teacher and an administrator for the New York City Board of Education, In 1977, she obtained a job working for the New York State Legislature and held senior staff positions in both the State Assembly and the State Senate. She's basically, since being a teacher, worked in government since 1977. -Presbyterian
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (deceased 2013) Democrat New Jersey $56.9 million - Succeeded by his crony, Jon Corzine (mentioned above), Lautenberg entered office at the age of 58, and after founding ADP (one of the most used payroll services in the country). Though little is clear about any wrongdoing by Lautenberg, he was very much friends and working partners with Corzine, who has so much dirt on him, that even Liberal New Jerseyans, hate him. - Jewish
Digging into this, there are several relationships that are uncovered, for example, Goldman Sachs, who is primarily run by Democrats, many of whom, go on to become politicians, such as; Timothy Geithner - United States Secretary of the Treasury - up to $6 million per CNN, Bradley Abelow, Treasurer and Chief of Staff to Jon Corzine (his name just keeps coming up), Josh Bolton - Whitehouse Chief of Staff under G.W. Bush, William C. Dudley - president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York (who was preceded by Geithner by the way), Rahm Emanuel - Mayor of Chicago (who was preceded by Josh Bolton - listed just previous to this, with Emanual also serving as WH Chief of Staff previously), Judd Gregg (who's father also was governor of the same state)- Former New Hampshire governor and senator (listed as a Republican, but nominated by Obama to serve as Secretary of Commerce), Jim Himes - sitting Democratic Representative for Connecticut (net worth 4.5 million), Arthur Levitt (deceased 2001) - Chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under Bill Clinton, Evan McMullin - Independent Candidate for US President 2016 (former chief policy director for the House Republican Conference in the U.S. House of Representatives, former CIA operations officer), Henry Paulson - United States Secretary of the Treasury (preceded Geithner and was preceded by Corzine), Robert Rubin - Chairperson for the Council on Foreign Relations (which helps sitting politicians decide how they're going to make more money in foreign matters).
When seeing just the amount of interaction between politics and Goldman Sachs, there's no wonder why the banks weren't allowed to fail.
In fairness, even Trump's name come up in this with Stephen Bannon, a former Goldman Sachs employee being the former executive officer of Breitbart News and the CEO of Trump's presidential campaign, not to mention, he is the co-founder and executive chairman of the Government Accountability Institute (which touts itself to be a is a conservative nonprofit investigative research organization).... we'll just sit back while they all scratch each others backs. Bannon isn't the only one from Goldman Sachs to jump on board with Trump either. Steve Mnuchin joived even before Bannon did.

Cognitive Dissonance of the left, the Obama deficits are eternally 'bearable'
Reply #788 on:
October 15, 2016, 12:37:54 PM »
"Now, the Congressional Budget Office is predicting deficits will, more or less, remain in the $600 billion range for the next several years. Those are eye-popping numbers to the average person, but they represent about 3 percent of the size of the economy, a level many economists say is bearable."
Deficit spending rate is twice the (artificial) 'growth' rate. (What growth?)
Deficits in a stable environment don't remain in that range when the wheels fall off.
Under these economic policies, this is the new full employment. Growth cannot happen without growing our capital base or workforce. Without a change of policies it only gets worse. Revenues stopped climbing; spending keeps increasing, and virtually none of it went toward rebuilding our infrastructure or modernizing our military.
The debt doubles in one Presidency, more accumulated deficits than the first 43 Presidents combined. And the proposal going forward is MORE OF THE SAME. Best case. As national healthcare and every other HRC program builds and the private sector diminishes, the real trend is to see national debt hit $40 trillion in 8 years. That is assuming a continuing plowhorse economy, and not the financial and economic collapse that is far more likely.

We Conspire To Produce An Unaware And Compliant Citizenry
BY Herschel Smith
2 days ago
PJ Media:
One of John Podestas emails released by WikiLeaks this week exposes how progressive elites seek to exploit the unwashed masses. The email features one of Podestas colleagues from the Center for American Progress admitting that the institutional left conspires to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry, ostensibly to impose their radical agenda on us without much resistance.
The correspondent is Bill Ivey of Global Cultural Strategies, the online representation of the ideas, writings, and affiliations of author/consultant Bill Ivey. He is an author trained in folklore and history, a trustee of the Center for American Progress, a former team leader in the Barack Obama presidential transition in 2008, and the former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts in the Clinton administration.
In the email from March of 2016, Ivey expresses concern about the rise of opinionated blowhard Trump and frets because the citizenry seems to be awakening.
Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isnt all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process.
Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and were off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his George magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious.
How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? Im certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not.
And as Ive mentioned, weve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.
Im not insulted. I actually feel a bit sorry for your ignorance. Mr. Ivey, you make the same mistake that most other progressives make. Oh, theres a lot of couch potatoes around who like to watch night time sitcoms, wear stupid clothing and cheer for their favorite band of criminals on Sunday.
But youre missing the larger point. The NRA is blamed for rousting the masses of gun owners, for telling them what to think, and for getting in the way of common sense gun regulations. You see the world this way because progressives need their leaders to tell them how to think and what to do. To the extent that the NRA fights the Senate, Congress and President, theyre doing what we tell them to do. To the extent that they dont, they are being recalcitrant. In the total absence of the NRA, our views wouldnt change one iota. We dont look to them for our world view.
Similarly, messaging wont change things for us. When I say us, I mean more people than you know. Donald Trump is a symptom, not the disease. The only other candidate who had any chance of winning was Ted Cruz, and he was as hated by the establishment as Trump is. Trump didnt ascend to the top because of his television persona, but because its all being burned down by the people. Trump is the vessel. The people threw gasoline and lit the match.
As for the goal of conspiring to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry, youre far too late for that. America is the most heavily armed nation in the world. Ive seen your plans.
The legislation has already been written. H.R. 4269 would enact a national, permanent ban on the manufacture and sale of so-called assault weapons and all firearm magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. The bill, introduced last December, already has149 Democratic co-sponsors (218 are needed to pass the House).
H.R. 4269 would ban all AR-15 and AK-type rifles and all civilian versions of military rifles produced anywhere in the word within the past 60 years or so. The bill would also ban all parts kits, stripped receivers, bump-fire stocks, thumbhole stocks, trigger cranks, so-called compliant rifles, and any characteristic that can function as a [pistol] grip. Law enforcement is exempt from the bills provisions.
H.R. 4269 is not a kick down the door and confiscate em bill. Existing rifles and magazines are grandfathered (but the transfer of existing magazines is permanently prohibited). Gun banners know that it is literally impossible to perform a door-to-door gun confiscation in a nation of 300 million people, and that any attempt to do so would certainly be met with violence. Consequently, they have pre-empted the Come and take it crowd by employing a long-term strategy. Once the manufacture and sale of certain weapons is prohibited, it is only a matter of time before the legislation would be amended to outlaw the transfer of grandfathered rifles as well as magazines, thus enacting a de facto confiscation within a generation.
This wont work. No one will comply. You dont honestly think were going to spend our hard earned money on guns and ammunition, teach our sons to shoot and fend for themselves, and then turn the guns over to you in our wills, do you?
As I said. Its too late. There is an inevitable split coming to America. Your plans for collectivism cant control the American spirit. Every turn of the screw by you will only make matters worse and the people more ungovernable. But since your world view works from the top down, I dont expect you to understand this. That bodes darkness for the near term.

I hope HRC apologizes and recognizes this was inevitable given her hate-filled rhetoric.
