The idea that Trump’s refusal to pledge an immediate and unconditional concession to Hillary’s anticipated but still uncertain victory, is predicated on the now proven-to-be-false media narrative that his coalition of supporters is violent and incapable of tolerating political dissent. Now that we have the hard evidence that violence at Trump’s rallies was primarily the result of false-flag operations planned and approved by Team Hillary, why hasn’t the media itself conceded its own role in sowing fear and divisiveness amongst the American electorate and especially by accomplishing it through fraudulent and politically-motivated “reporting?”
There has been a lot of political violence over the last 12 months, but, contrary to the huge numbers of warnings from the media about the onrushing violence from Trump supporters, about 95-98% has come from either Hillary supporters or from groups Hillary supports: black cop killers, black rioters, Muslim terrorists, people of color attacking Trump supporters coming and going from Trump rallies, etc. etc. Some of the handful of punches thrown by Trump supporters were due to provocations by paid Hillary operatives. But the big story is that the vast majority of violence came from the anti-Trump side.
Many journalists have put so much effort into warning of Trumpian violence that they can’t remember and/or don’t want to admit it largely never went through the formality of coming into existence.
So they are off in their own Alternative Reality in which what you saw with your lying eyes since San Bernardino in late 2015 never happened and instead what they tried to conjure up with words is truth.
Any candidate, Democrat or Republican, who ignores credible reports of voting “irregularities:” whether it’s among senior citizens in Florida, independent-thinking blacks and Latinos in machine cities like Chicago, or even in districts with high numbers of working-class “white men,” endangers the expectation of fair play and justice which is the true source of political legitimacy in a democratic system founded on the principle of consent of the governed. If there are any questions of electoral wrong-doing that might tip the balance of results, candidates have a duty, not to concede at the first suggestion of defeat, but to push for the impartial investigation of what happened until the question is resolved or it becomes clear that that contest is no longer relevant to election results at large. This is one of the reasons why candidates-elect don’t actually take office until almost two months after Election Day!
I’m amazed at how the media has framed this issue; almost completely ignoring Al Gore’s legal challenge of returns in Florida only 16 years ago. On PBS, the only analogy made was to Nixon and his peaceful resignation after impeachment –an entirely different situation, the choice of which would seem to have more to do with framing a sense of guilt by association and moral aspersion than actually explaining what might happen this November. It’s difficult to tell whether perhaps some of these pundits don’t have sufficient powers of “recall” to remember Gore or whether they just refuse to mention something that might hurt their chosen candidate, but shame on them whatever their excuses!
The shamefulness of media behavior in 2016 is a big, big story.

My biggest worry is that the CIA will see fit to, ahem, “counter hack” voting machines they’ve deemed compromised by the Russians anyway.
In truth, the CIA has long supported Hillary and State’s policy of arming the Strain rebels. Evan McMullin, who is just in the race to spoil Utah, worked for the CIA for a decade too.
“The shamefulness of media behavior in 2016 is a big, big story.”
If the Trump campaign does nothing more than to expose, to those who didn’t already see it, the absolute cravenness, dishonesty, hypocrisy, etc. of the Media, it will have performed an important public service.
As The Duck (aka “Jokeocracy,” aka Pax Dickinson) implied in his final Twitter blaze of glory, the only thing that can save the country is the utter downfall of the media establishment. Then a true-to-reality worldview can be built from the ground up.
Would the media need to be so shameful if they didn’t fear Hillary was losing very badly?
Also, electoral fraud is such a certainty that they’re setting up Trump not to contest the results. Even the “intelligence community” is ready to call Trump a Russian mole should he succeed.
The whole system is rigged against Trump because they know the entire regime could crumble down in a matter of months. Many people are afraid of losing their positions and the billions to be made as insiders.
Of course, the VA, MD and DC restaurants would suffer, with similar effects in Manhattan and Hollywood.
The Left has always been violent. From the French Revolution until now. But the ends justify the means and our glorious Soviet future is just around the corner!!!
The good news is there are many that know the Left’s history. The will be no passive acceptance of their dishonest agenda due to an assumption of goodwill this time around.

CNN’s ratings collapse surprised nobody but now Fox News is losing to MSNBC here and there. A couple years ago, MSNBC’s ratings were so poor that garbage like Ronan Farrow had only 50,000 viewers. Now it occasionally leads over Fox News and CNN, whose ratings have cratered in particular. MSNBC is now the official left alternative, CNN is for hardcore Clintonistas, and Fox News is for the remnants of the #NeverTrump wing of the GOP.

I don’t really think the media has been anymore shameful. Typical of them. They’ve just been exposed more with all the attention this election has brought.
OT: Trump went kamikaze at the Al Smith dinner tonight. Insulted Hillary outright while she gape-jawed fake laughs and some outraged audience members boo and yell out. Maria Bartiromo laughing and clapping for Trump was a nice visual.
It has been a big story for decades, but in 2016 the media have grown so brazen and confident that they’ve abandoned most of their efforts to throw up a shield of plausible deniability as they construct the Narrative in a manner that best suits their ideological and emotional goals.
The Narrative is like the proverbial onion.
Let’s say one day that you are looking at Facebook, and one of your loony liberal friends has linked to five mainstream news stories that are distorting what Trump said in a speech. But hey — you listened to that speech, and you know they’re taking his words out of context. Fine; you’ve stripped away the loosest, most obvious outer layer of the Narrative onion.
But then an ostensibly right-wing talk show radio host tells you that Trump’s ‘careless words’ are killing his polling numbers, so he’s got to change his campaign approach. Well, you then see an article on Conservative Treehouse showing you how those poll numbers are just another chapter in the Narrative, created by grossly-unrepresentative sample sizes. Great; you’ve stripped off another layer.
So then you start thinking that the actual election, where real people cast ‘real’ votes, might just turn out to be pretty close. So you get ready to vote, only to see a story on Breitbart explaining how voter fraud is rife across the country. Is your vote really going to get counted? If you’re submitting a mail-in ballot, is any flesh-and-blood human being going to open that envelope and make a tick next to the name of the candidate you’ve chosen? Or are the reports you see coming from your state’s election headquarters just a sidebar to the Narrative? Splendid; you’re digging deep into the onion now . . . .
And then you have a startling thought: that vote you cast in the last election — and the ones before that, come to think of it — who counted them? When was the last time you can be sure an election you voted in was completely legit? Has there ever been one? And what historical source, what book, what article, written by which historian or poly sci prof, is going to tell you the true story? How many layers does this stupid onion have?
Maybe it’s less exhausting, and more congenial, to just go back to FB, add a like to that post your friend put up, and hope for the best for the next four years. Maybe you should just trust the information gatekeepers, the authors of the Narrative, like most of your friends do. Hey, if the NYT or the BBC says it’s so, who are you to try to piss up that mighty river? Maybe nothing really bad will happen . . . .
Okay — I’m sliding into conspiracy theorizing now; I’m going to stop. But the basic issue is real: we live in a postmodern culture in which there’s no center to the onion; no logos or frame of reference from which to discern and make sense of what we read and hear and even, increasingly, see. Perhaps it has ever been thus, but as western cultures pull farther away from the Christian ideal of truth-telling, it’s going to get harder and harder to sift out what’s real from the glare of gaslight coming from all directions.
The question for 2016 is how many Americans are willing to ‘wake up’ (be ‘woke’, to use a popular term?) to what’s being done to them?
The perfidy of the media in narrative construction is so far-reaching, so multi-layered, that it seems to me most ordinary citizens still don’t really grasp its pervasiveness.
I hope I am wrong — hearing evidence of this would really make me feel better.
MY gawd, any of you watching the Al Smith dinner? Trump is absolutely fearless. I don’t know how this will play. Of course, he was booed by some; most people the camera showed were sweating bullets or their faces were frozen.
Normally, I’d say Trump just shot himself, but after this year, I realize he knows much better than I what he’s doing and why. I suspect he wanted to get to a lot more issues and what better way than having the press skewer him tomorrow and show the video. “Hillary hates Catholics.”
If you haven’t been watching, watch the re-play. I was so uncomfortable, I left the room. Yes, I was laughing hysterically, but I had to leave the room. The Bishop was about to explode.

Trump should push every one of Hillary's debacles, crimes, and malice right back down their throats. The blatantly biased media may dismiss it, but the common man does get the message.
Even if she wins the election (and I still think Trump has every chance of winning) she is damaged goods from day one.
I agree with the poster who said the media has always been this biased, it's just that they are more exposed this year. Multiple non-establishment people have united to fight for Trump. Reddit. Wikileaks. O'Keefe. All of us on the alt-right. It is the first time that we have had a candidate fight for us like this. We are fighting alongside him. The media has never been challenged and exposed in this way. Usually they are the ones who will expose something. It is not every day when the media itself gets caught out colluding with a campaign via leaked emails.
Even things like CNN lying about losing the satellite feed... it gets put on reddit. Love it.
When Hildabeast gets elected (sorry, I’m a pessimist by nature), the media will not look at their behavior as shameful. They will look at it as winning strategy. The question is, what can be done about it? I don’t know the answer, but I hope someone does.
What’s funny is what I heard from a black commentator on MSNBC after the debate was over last night. I don’t know who this individual was but he was on with Brian Williams and they were having a field day with Donald Trump’s refusal to pledge to respect the election results. They made the quite Orwellian statement that Al Gore in 2000 was an example to behold for his graciously admitting defeat after the courts ruled that Bush had won.

I don’t understand the implication of the question even though it was asked in multiple debates. What’s Trump supposed to do in the event of a loss, commit suicide? Or raise an armed insurrection? Obviously if he thinks he was beaten fair and square he must concede, and if he thinks he was cheated he must protest. Why ask a rhetorical question expect to get the guy’s goat?
Also, electoral fraud is such a certainty that they're setting up Trump not to contest the results. Even the "intelligence community" is ready to call Trump a Russian mole should he succeed.

The media are just blowing smoke up everyone’s [email protected]@. They talk about conceding, that it’s over, and he’s still running a close race despite all of the blatant overwhelming attacks from all areas of the establishment. And it is likely that most ‘undecideds’ are Trump voters who are publicly anonymous.
They just want you to give up, to not bother supporting or pushing for Trump issues, not bother to vote. Don’t listen. They’ve been lying to you for over a year, as you know. Whatever they roll out each day ’til election is just more of the same, but amped up out of desperation.
Hillary does hate Catholics. The leaked emails show that their camp is engaging in intentional manipulation of the Catholic masses, while making crude jokes about them that, if said about a minority group, would result in firings.

OT: who are you rooting for in the NLCS, Steve? You haven’t tipped your hand, but I have to imagine it’s a tough choice for you.
Even as we speak, the Machine Media is now being overtaken as a source of major investigative news by WikiLeaks and Project Veritas. If there’s another Woodward/Bernstein in our midst, it is surely, of all people, James O’Keefe — who just might possibly bring down even a President, should Hillary be elected.
And a remarkable thing about the two new news sources is that they are dovetailing in their effects, with WikiLeaks verifying the claims made on the Project Veritas tapes.
I have a strong hunch that as the revelations pile up before the day of election, the polls are going to turn against Hillary, who loses votes like mad when she looks really corrupt — and now she’s starting to look like death-warmed-over corrupt.
But it must kill the Machine Media to be shown up by the likes of WikiLeaks and Project Veritas. WikiLeaks humiliates them, exposing them as the abject courtiers they have become, and Project Veritas shows them how sadly they have failed investigative journalism.
The information that Wikileaks and Judicial Watch has unearthed on Hillary might take longer to spread and some of it might be harder for people to wrap their heads around but it will fester and linger throughout her presidency if she wins.
Is there enough time before the election for it all to sink in to everyone's heads what Hillary has really done? If so there could be a major turnaround in the polls the very last minute as there was for Ronald Reagan in '80 and Brexit as well.

A more relevant Nixon example would be when he didn’t contest his loss to JFK despite all the ballot stuffing in Chicago (reportedly because his allies had been doing the same downstate and he didn’t want to destroy his career along with Kennedy’s).
It’s pretty transparent now that Hillary’s demand that Trump accept the outcome of the election is simply an attempt to get him to concede defeat before the fact, so that after she steals it, she can claim some legitimacy for her theft. Hillary is shrilly insisting that her well trained Republicuck subs, cuck once again.
It’s really quite brazen; I would even call it unhinged. The problem is she’s gotten away with this so many times before that she thinks it’s going to work to destroy Mr. Trump, as well. It isn’t.
I never wrote a reaction on the third debate open thread. I’ve been sick and overworked this week, and I barely had the strength to watch the debate let alone comment upon it. There is clearly something seriously wrong with Hillary Clinton. She came across as something between a glitching robot and a demon-possessed Chucky doll who wouldn’t shut up. And I’m not just saying this because I despise her as a human being and as a candidate—this is an objective assessment. There is a deeply disturbing, psychopathic, infernal vibe emanating from that woman. Her lies were as blatant as ever, and too obvious to even be worth debunking. One cannot have a rational debate with a lunatic.
I had an epiphany of sorts after the debate was over which caused this whole election and its associated social phenomena to make a new kind of sense. It no longer matters what the media say about Trump. Their questions, criticisms, and analyses have become irrelevant. They have become irrelevant. They’ve used every weapon in their arsenal to take Trump down and all they’ve accomplished is their own delegitimization. This is the bitter fruit of their many long years of obscurantism. He who diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and he who rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him. Trump is a Fact of Life now; he is a sign of contradiction, set for the fall and rising of many. The media thought they had an unassailable advantage and could lie and swindle in perpetuity—that is until the Angel of Death came to pay them back in their own coin.
If I were to sum up the third debate in one pithy sentiment or idea, I would say that this was the night when the mainstream media finally, irrevocably jumped the shark. Their emptiness, their nakedness, their lack of substance was on full display. I could feel it in my stomach that in some mysterious sense their charter had been revoked, and they no longer had the license to exist. They will stumble along for awhile longer due to sheer inertia, but the inner justification has departed them. The talking heads have become the walking dead.
The future is what we make it, and I am excluding you from the we. Oh, BTW, Samuel Adams has a message for you:
“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
I watched the tape. He was keepin’ it real. Not sure if he thought those would be laugh lines, or if he was giving a big FU to all the folks who’ve loved him, so very, very much, since June 2015.

Likewise, set up a twitter account, randomly follow people who do not have many followers and will likely follow you back, and retweet articles using social media buttons.

4. they sit in their cars blocking roads conversing with people on the street,

6. they do not clean up after or properly train their dogs
7. they do not respect neighborhood norms dealing with noise, street parking, crowds, auto regulations, lawn care, fishing rules, and trash disposal

Short story – while attending high school at the impressionable age of 16, I became a ‘certified’ ‘diversity training facilitator’ with an Alinskyite group of ne’er-do-wells with the ominously Soviet name of ‘National Conference for Community and Justice’ (NCCJ). Once upon a time they were called the National Coalition of Christians and Jews, but the Cultural Marxist Gods quickly demanded a sacrifice on the alter of social justice and, soon enough, the only Gods prayed to were named Bell Hooks or Mumia Abu-Jamal. Anyway, this group routinely trained us in ‘media’ and ‘journalism’, and there were *so* many MSM patrons of this group. I (horrifyingly) witnessed the transformation of people like myself – who genuinely wanted to help the ‘underprivileged’ – into, basically, a cadre of useful idiot shills incapable of independent thought outside the Narrative (anti-white rage and nonwhite victimhood). Basically, it was a baptism by fire into the reality that, very sadly, only the brightest and/or most intellectually curious individuals will ever hope to escape the Diversity Machine inflicted on American kids. It’s solely the degree to which individual personality, mental health and skin color intertwine that production of uniquely destructive individuals (like Obama) might emerge from this toxic environment – like morally confused young caterpillars transforming into adult SJW butterflies! It’s all so sickening.
Bottom line, I was really disgusted and really horrified as a teenager to learn that it’s all about power (the eternal who?, whom?), and that one’s task as a conscientious journalist is solely to promote the Narrative ABOVE ALL ELSE. These peoples’ lives and sanity depends upon Narrative promotion at the expense of truth and morality.
So, when I read about people like Yglesias actively working to cover up the fact that they’ve been polar-bear-hunted (and instead openly fantasizing about future impending martyrdom at the hands of fictional WASP hate mobs), it’s really infuriating and yet kind of sad to witness. Maybe the alt-right could sponsor a few cult-deprogramming workshops for these folks…

The most important question is whether Trump has the balls to cross the rubicon come November 9th if he loses? Will he call for a coup? Or some sort of violent resistance?
I don’t think so.
Even if he did white Americans would lose. White people lose regardless of how it goes down. Another civil/race war would primarily involve two separate factions of white men going at each other. Cue the popcorn.

What if he tells NYT to take a hike or commits to spending much less than what the Sulzbergers want?

I think independents and especially the right are now fully aware and fully in tune with how biased the current media is.

Fox News is for the remnants of the #NeverTrump wing
Yeah, I don’t get how they see this working out for them. I’ve stopped watching Fox News lately because when they cover a Trump story, “fair and balanced” consists of a Democrat Trump hater debating a Republican Trump hater (Goldberg, Hayes, Will, etc).

The reason for the protests is 10 to 15 French “youth” (that’s what they call anti-white criminals in France too!) from a housing project surrounded two police vehicles with officers in them and tossed in Molotov cocktails. Two of the officers are near death and presumably will be permanently and severely scarred and disabled even if they survive.
That’s Hillary’s vision for the USA.

Another thing. I live in a nice suburban neighborhood and a well-to-do black family lives across the street. Every other week we put our recyclable container out for pick up. All our neighbors do so as well except for the black family. I have never seen them put out recyclables. Is this a black thing?
I was a bit disappointed Trump did not distance himself from the GOPe on environmental protection. The GOP masses have been basically brainwashed that global warming is a big hoax.

Aside from this one issue, I would have liked Trump to come up with some easy to understand and specific plan, like have the government provide to increase the electric car tax credit for electric cars from $7500 to $10,000 if the car is made in America, or have a lottery that gives 10,000 American homeowners every year a free $20,000 to buy solar panels.Replies: @Sid, @Anonymous, @JSM
“My biggest worry is that the CIA will see fit to, ahem, “counter hack” voting machines they’ve deemed compromised by the Russians anyway.”
There is a way the Russians could hack the election without hacking individual voting machines, and without hurting anyone in the process. I could think of a way to do that. In fact, I’ve never heard my scenario mentioned anywhere before, either in print or on the screen…so I’m sure that it would come as such a huge surprise that the CIA/NSA wouldn’t be able to act quickly enough to stop it once it started. However, the downside is that it would become extremely obvious very quickly what had happened and that a state actor was at play. It would require Trump’s ego to immediately declare himself the winner and refuse to participate in any re-votes, which, to my knowledge, aren’t provided for in the US constitution anyway, so Trump would be correct to refuse. If it didn’t work, it might mean a massive retaliatory act by the intelligence services of the US, likely leading to a military conflict because Putin is so popular in Russia that he’d withstand anything less than that. I guess it depends on how dangerous the Russians believe Hillary could be and, therefore, how far they are willing to go to stop her…and it also depends upon whether the Russians just want to sit back and let the CIA attack them the way that buffoon Joe Biden has been publicly bragging about or strike first.
Basically, they shut down the power grid in heavily-black voting areas in swing states on the day of the election. Rural people, spread out over the country, would still be able to vote for Trump because it would take the CIA shutting down the power grid of the entire country to even things up. Just a few cities going dark in Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania would be enough.
I also do not think Russian hackers can selectively shut down our power grid.
Swing states with Republican government already discourage black voting with voter ID laws and keeping the number of polling places low, creating lines.
The US, Russia and China are generally seen as near-equals when it comes to hacking, and they're similarly vulnerable to each other's attacks. Messing with another country's power grid and infrastructure is generally seen as a huge no-no, whereas acquiring intel is what everyone does. The US is peeved because Russia is releasing compromising information, whereas China must surely have all the same information, but is keeping it hidden.
(Unlike a lot of people here, I do think it's likely the Russians released hacked information to Wikileaks. I just think that Hillary has no right to complain because her cybersecurity was absolutely dreadful, she's taken millions from Saudi and Qatar and has let them run amok, and she gave 1/5th of America's uranium to Putin for donations to the Foundation.)
Didn’t Trump supporters invade Georgia a while ago?
I guess they consider recycling to be like tipping the environment.
Caring about the environment is very much a white thing. Whites want to save the last few hundred rhinos left in the wild, Africans want to eat them, and Chinese want to grind up their horns to make BS voodoo “Chinese medicine” cures for impotence.

Interesting, but I think if voting is shut down in an area because of power failures the government simply extends the time to vote until afterward, and if it refused to do so initially would be forced in an emergency order by a federal judge.

The nadir of the MSM’s derelict coverage of Obama was their treatment of Joe the Plumber. Bad as Palin Derangement Syndrome was, at least she aspired to an office that could possibly entail responsibility. Joe the Plumber is just a guy who asked a question. He did the media’s job for it, in fact, and coaxed the most headline-worthy quote of the campaign out of him.
So what did they do? Go deeper on Obama, push him until he explained himself, dig into his past for an explanation? No, they looked into Joe’s tax returns. Tried to catch him in lies about his livelihood. Generally ignored Obama and aimed at a plumber the investigative journalism that should have been saved for subjects that matter, like the next president of the United States.

Unlike most people, I actually support global warming. In general, human civilization has done better when the world is warmer. (Everyone from the Egyptian Old Kingdom, to the Indus River Valley Civilization, to the Ming Dynasty collapsed when global temperatures fell.)
However, global warming is not the only result of burning hydrocarbons. Lots of other junk besides CO2 is released, especially with coal.
While the USA itself does not import much middle east oil anymore, the market for oil is global, and our consumption enriches our oil-exporting enemies just as surely as if we paid them directly. It also hurts our our-importing allies like Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and South Korea who pay higher prices because we waste so much gas with our overpowered and oversized auto fleet. Therefore I'd still like to reduce our use of "global warming" activities.
Between non-CO2 chemicals released by hydrocarbon combustion and the handing over money to the Saudis, that's a pretty good argument for us trying to reduce our oil and coal consumption as fast as we reasonably can without economic disruption.
NatGas seems like a good compromise on both fronts, much cleaner than coal and increasingly found all over the USA and other parts of the world.Replies: @JSM, @Sid

I wouldn’t call myself an environmentalist or say that I really care about the environment even though I recycle. It’s just sort of the thing to do, and it’s actually generally less convenient not to recycle these days. Mixing waste with recyclables is generally inconvenient because recycles take up lots of volume. We don’t even have to sort recyclables into paper and plastic and glass. They all go in the same bin and the waste management facility has a machine that sorts it.
As for the rhinos, whether you want to eat them, take them as medicine, or view them or contemplate the thought of them being there, they have to be there in the first place in order to do any of these things. It would seem that whatever purpose you had in mind, you’d have an interest in them being there.

Another point: Consider thirty years ago, the climatologists were Chicken Littling about the next Ice Age. They dropped it when the global warming hysteria became the more grant-lucrative idea.
But, what if the old-timey Ice Age Cometh hysterians actually are correct, but the higher CO2 levels have (temporarily) held back the worst of it? If the Ice Age Cometh, Bangladesh's big problem won't be rising sea levels, but invading White People.

Yes it is but it will only have an impact if Trump wins. The elite feels that time is on their side like the Rolling Stones sang so the media has the green light to do anything to stop a candidate who might interfere with the elite’s plans. All the elite needs to so is step up their censorship of the web and the majority of people will not have any access to pesky facts that conflict with the chosen narratives. Being banned from jobs and driven underground will take care of the plebs who don’t go along.

The French revolution wasn’t started by leftists, and Hillary Clinton isn’t a leftist either. She’s a technocratic liberal centrist who believes in free trade, financial deregulation and mass immigration to satisfy the needs of the free market – which technically makes her someone on the liberal right. And no she didn’t start out as a tofu-eating hippie on a commune, she started out as a business orientated career girl supporting the proto-neoliberal candidate Barry Goldwater.
Please stop dreaming about being an 18th Century aristocrat and enter the 21st Century. A lot has happened since the dreaded bourgeois stormed the Bastille.
Rather like how the Democrats are using BLM and other "activists" to cause disruption and violence during the present campaign.
But you are right about Hillary Clinton. She is not a leftist, but a fully bought-up asset of Goldman Sachs. She is a Neoliberal who follows the mantra of Free Trade, Open Borders and Financial Deregulation. These matters have been fully dealt with by another contributor to this website, Pat Buchanan, in numerous books.
However, many commenters continue to misrepresent Clinton as some form of Marxist. She and her ilk do use aspects of Cultural Marxism when they feel it will be of advantage to do so. It's like Hillary Clinton's faux feminism. A genuine feminist would have left Bill Clinton years ago, probably never married him. By contrast, Hillary over the years has character assassinated the numerous women who have claimed sexual assault at the hands of Bill.Replies: @Opinionator

This is the lady who wants to "go where the money is" to subsidize our insane Welfare State, from each according to his ability. Except from her rich buddies, who can get around it.
Banksters are not Goldwaterites, by the way. Just like Big Business isn't for free enterprise. Wanting Free Trade doesn't make you a libertarian. Yet we lump libertarians and frankly socialist Big Business and High Finance into one lump with the term "neoliberalism." Which I consider an all but useless term.

COUNTERPOINT
The fathers of the two candidates seem pretty similar. Fred Trump was more successful than Hugh Rodham, but Hillary’s dad did pretty well for himself.
My wife’s uncle lives in Park Ridge, IL where Hillary grew up. It’s a very nice suburb conveniently close to O’Hare airport and on the Kennedy expressway to the Loop, although not as upper class as some North Shore towns. The average home in Park Ridge is about 400k. (Chicago seems pretty affordable lately. 400k to live 3 miles from O’Hare, but not really under the flight path, and 15 miles from the Loop in a suburb that’s 90% white is not bad.)
Fred Trump’s kids seem to have been pretty successful, other than the alcoholic. Hillary is obviously smart, hard-working, and frugal, but her two brothers are kind of ne’er-do-wells who have gotten into various influence-peddling scandals that have been a source of grief for Hillary and Bill. Hugh always favored Hillary over her two younger brothers, although you can see why.
It surprises me to think it but I actually enjoy immensely Trump’s maybe-maybe-not approach to “accepting democracy,” lol. Haven’t heard such howling since, ummm, that birtherism press conference (quelle scandal!)… The hair-on-fire MSM reax prove it to be a direct Draymond Green crotch kick to the collective journalist ego, the people who consider themselves 4th Estate partners with the real government and drafters of authorized history. It’s the logic flowing from their protests, right? Even funnier, they aren’t embarrassed to identify as courtiers instead of newsman. Oh– and it’s changed the theme of Le Narrative from lecher back to Hitler, btw.
Kausfiles put it best: the will-u-accept Controversy is a how-many-angels-fit-on-a-pin argument for intramural consumption. It’s a solidarity exercise for the chatterhead class, a crisis of manners.

When I’ve been in successful groups that local media groups decided to interview and cover, they will always seek out a minority in the group, no matter how small the role that person had, which gives the viewer at home the impression that it was black success, or hispanic success, etc. What’s funny is that even the minorities being targeted recognize the blatant bias and find it to be annoying to be constantly under the spotlight while everyone else is ignored.
The MSM has no one to blame but itself for it’s downfall, with it’s bald, biased lying. Who wants to waste time to see or read most of what they have to say?
The Bastille was not stormed by the bourgeoisie, but the Paris mob, directed by Provincial lawyers who made up the majority of the French Revolutionary elite.
Rather like how the Democrats are using BLM and other “activists” to cause disruption and violence during the present campaign.
But you are right about Hillary Clinton. She is not a leftist, but a fully bought-up asset of Goldman Sachs. She is a Neoliberal who follows the mantra of Free Trade, Open Borders and Financial Deregulation. These matters have been fully dealt with by another contributor to this website, Pat Buchanan, in numerous books.
However, many commenters continue to misrepresent Clinton as some form of Marxist. She and her ilk do use aspects of Cultural Marxism when they feel it will be of advantage to do so. It’s like Hillary Clinton’s faux feminism. A genuine feminist would have left Bill Clinton years ago, probably never married him. By contrast, Hillary over the years has character assassinated the numerous women who have claimed sexual assault at the hands of Bill.
the (((French Revolutionary elite)))?
I was a bit disappointed Trump did not distance himself from the GOPe on environmental protection. The GOP masses have been basically brainwashed that global warming is a big hoax. That's not true, but the more subtle point that global warming is not such a big deal, and may benefit cold areas white people live in in Europe and North America, is too politically incorrect to say. And there really is no established dog-whistle turns we can turn to either. We know what "support the police" and "thugs" means, wink wink, but do not have a vocabulary to say "warmer weather will reduce heating costs and extend growing seasons in the Upper Midwest and New England, tough luck for Bangladesh tho."
Aside from this one issue, I would have liked Trump to come up with some easy to understand and specific plan, like have the government provide to increase the electric car tax credit for electric cars from $7500 to $10,000 if the car is made in America, or have a lottery that gives 10,000 American homeowners every year a free $20,000 to buy solar panels.Replies: @Sid, @Anonymous, @JSM

Dude, simply by holding that global warming is a hoax, get us our Upper Midwest and New England warming, without letting our *real* agenda out of the bag.
However, global warming is not the only result of burning hydrocarbons. Lots of other junk besides CO2 is released, especially with coal.
While the USA itself does not import much middle east oil anymore, the market for oil is global, and our consumption enriches our oil-exporting enemies just as surely as if we paid them directly. It also hurts our our-importing allies like Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and South Korea who pay higher prices because we waste so much gas with our overpowered and oversized auto fleet. Therefore I'd still like to reduce our use of "global warming" activities.
Between non-CO2 chemicals released by hydrocarbon combustion and the handing over money to the Saudis, that's a pretty good argument for us trying to reduce our oil and coal consumption as fast as we reasonably can without economic disruption.
NatGas seems like a good compromise on both fronts, much cleaner than coal and increasingly found all over the USA and other parts of the world.Replies: @JSM, @Sid

*THIS* is the reason to reduce oil consumption. We should be making our own Synfuel out of our own domestic coal supplies. We should be building thorium-burning molten-salt cooled nuclear reactors as fast as the concrete will dry. http://energyfromthorium.com/lftr-overview/
Another point: Consider thirty years ago, the climatologists were Chicken Littling about the next Ice Age. They dropped it when the global warming hysteria became the more grant-lucrative idea.
But, what if the old-timey Ice Age Cometh hysterians actually are correct, but the higher CO2 levels have (temporarily) held back the worst of it? If the Ice Age Cometh, Bangladesh’s big problem won’t be rising sea levels, but invading White People. And *everybody* knows that when White people get roused up to go colonizing, the indigenouses get decimated.
So, us White Folks fleeing south from the mile-high walls of ice will pose a FAR greater threat to the Precious Brown Folk than flooding.

1. They blast obscenity laden music from their cars
2. they rudely walk around and block public rights of ways
3. they bother others on public transportation
4. they sit in their cars blocking roads conversing with people on the street,
5. they interfere with policing and stick their camera-phones at officers trying to do their jobs
6. they do not clean up after or properly train their dogs
7. they do not respect neighborhood norms dealing with noise, street parking, crowds, auto regulations, lawn care, fishing rules, and trash disposal

I would also add they intentionally walk in a completely insouciant manner in the middle of the road or intentionally walk at a snails pace at cross walks to prevent cars from making right or left turns.
I’m sure this is a rhetorical question, but one thing is quite clear. Hillary Clinton would have to microwave a puppy on live TV to get anything even remotely like the bad press she deserves from here to 8 November, and even then, I’ve no doubt all the talking heads on the Idiot Box would scold anyone who’s horrified as “prejudiced” for not guessing she might simply be in a Chinese restaurant, “ignorant” of other cultures and “racist” for thinking we should apply our own cultural norms to… our own candidates. (Oh, and “sexist” for criticizing the assertive behavior of a woman…)

Old story. The Money Honey would occasionally come to my office for an interview after she did the market open from the NYSE (this is the 90s–20 years ago, now). During the set-up for the camera and sound, I “discovered” the visual you describe, where upon she buttoned up her blouse–having noticed what I was noticing… LOL.
So-called journalism, like education, is merely one step removed from social work. Journalism and education put into practice the ethos of the SJW that emanates from the school of social work.
Almost as soon as the French Revolution began deputies in the National Assembly who stood with the king and the Church sat on the king’s right, while those who stood for revolutionary change up to republicanism and anticlericalism sat on his left, and this was the origin of the left-right distinction. The issues and policy positions of the day were different but the attitudes and sentiments of the modern “critical peace studies” secular democracy libertine intelligentsia show remarkable continuity with the most thoughtful instigators of the French Revolution.
Basically: yes, the French Revolution most certainly WAS started by leftists, and yes, Hillary Clinton most certainly IS on the political left.
Fascism has always been pretty big in Australia, for some reason. Am I wrong?

Steve’s roots are in SoCal, and he’s blogged about the ’60s Dodgers, so the money would say he’s a Dodgers fan. OTOH, a low probability/high return bet would say he spent many years in the Chicago area, so maybe some of the “Lovable Losers” aura of the North Siders rubbed off on him and he’s a Cubs fan. Or, could be none of the above.

I agree that natural gas is the best compromise. I think that oil will become increasingly concentrated in transportation, as there are plenty of alternatives for power generation, but replacing our auto fleet with LNG vehicles, for example, will be hopelessly expensive for the foreseeable future.
It will be interesting to see what automated driving will do for US autos. American cities are more or less designed for cars, and only a handful of American cities have convenient public transportation systems. But once firms like Uber have automated driving systems, it wouldn’t surprise me if American car ownership declines over the decades.
I tend to agree. The way I look at it is that Trump took a nosedive due to the sexual assault allegations and the Billy Bush tape. These are the kinds of allegations though that low-information voters can understand and has a swift impact on the polls. But if Bill Clinton is an example, the impact may only be temporary on Trump as well.
The information that Wikileaks and Judicial Watch has unearthed on Hillary might take longer to spread and some of it might be harder for people to wrap their heads around but it will fester and linger throughout her presidency if she wins.
Is there enough time before the election for it all to sink in to everyone’s heads what Hillary has really done? If so there could be a major turnaround in the polls the very last minute as there was for Ronald Reagan in ’80 and Brexit as well.

If I’m correct about what “temperament” you’re referring to, it’ll only reveal itself in the manner of the hard-hat riots. That is, after enduring endless provocation by the left and the left’s pets (i.e. blacks), Trumpians could strike back. Then they’ll be blamed for starting it in the first place, because anybody who shows any belief in anything and is not a good progressive or an obvious eunuch scares the crap out of the left.
That’s because the left knows what it would do to get in and/or keep power, and they project those dark thoughts and actions onto the enemy.
She’s most certainly a leftist. To the left of me,anyway, which is what’s important. Politics isn’t entirely about economics, you know. Social Justice can kill Western Civilization as surely as She’s not a Marxist, but she is a Free Trade communist. “It takes a village.”
There’s plenty enough economic red meat for lefties. This is the woman who nearly ruined her husband’s presidency for the sake of “single-payer” healthcare. This is the lady who wants to “go where the money is” to subsidize our insane Welfare State, from each according to his ability. Except from her rich buddies, who can get around it.
Banksters are not Goldwaterites, by the way. Just like Big Business isn’t for free enterprise. Wanting Free Trade doesn’t make you a libertarian. Yet we lump libertarians and frankly socialist Big Business and High Finance into one lump with the term “neoliberalism.” Which I consider an all but useless term.
