Paul Ryan Says Presidential Election a 'Binary Choice,' Gary Johnson Gets on Maine Ballot, U.S. Stocks See Historic Rise After Brexit: A.M. Links

• 

  Reason TV

  At a CNN town hall, House Speaker Paul Ryan said that while presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wasn't perfect, he was better than presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, calling it a "binary choice." The Libertarian Party of Maine says it has enough signatures to get Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson on the ballot in November, bringing him closer to 50 states. Like Johnson, presumptive Green presidential nominee Jill Stein is also trying to woo Bernie Sanders voters after the democratic socialist's endorsement of Clinton. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, meanwhile, doubled down on her criticisms of Trump, calling him a "fake." Trump took to Twitter to suggest Ginsburg's "mind is shot" and called on her to resign. Attorney General Loretta Lynch defended the FBI investigation into Clinton's email abuses, which produced no indictment, in front of a House panel.

How the Tenors struck out with O Canada at the MLB All-Star Game

As The Tenors performed O Canada before the start of the all-star game, Pereira changed "With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the True North strong and free" to "We're all brothers and sisters, all lives matter to the great."

In addition to the change in lyrics, Pereira also held up a sign he pulled from inside his jacket that read: "All Lives Matter".

In my little home town, there was a funeral home on the next block from our house. When there was a funeral, we neighborhood kids were admonished to be respectful: keep it quiet, don't be riding your bikes in front of the funeral home, that sort of thing. I just can't wrap my head around people thinking to play Pokemon in the Holocaust Museum.

Don't you mean, You know who else had the slogan, "gotta catch them all?"

[Illocust]

Having read the article it is not as bad as the headline is making it out to be. The people playing the game aren't wandering through the museum ignoring the exhibits. They are waiting in line with their tickets to start their tour of the exhibits. Normally they'd just be checking facebook and email instead, now they are playing a game.

One commentor made a good suggestion. Put up a sign, please don't use your phone past this point, when they enter the area with stuff to actually look at as opposed to the lobby.

[The Fusionist]

There's a blast from the past - remember when international arbitration was going to help countries avoid war?

[Scarecrow & WoodChipper Repair]

I've never understood why they think they can claim the entire South China Sea except for the small edge strip where it borders other countries. I understood stupid politicians and all that, but what makes them think it's a good plan to push, and that the other countries who border that sea won't object and be pissed off?

[Mickey Rat]

They are a totalitarian regime. It goes with the territory

[Scarecrow & WoodChipper Repair]

I try to figure out how people do stupid things, so I can learn from their mistakes. I can't figure out their thinking. It's not like Hitler, who started taking over German speaking areas (Sudetenland, Austria) and went too far with all of Poland instead of just the German-speaking part.

What did some high muckety muck think -- well let's just say we claim all the ocean right up to everyone else's 12 mile limit? How could that even sound plausible? Was there some kind of precedent that western reports ignore? It just makes no sense.

[Unreconstructed (Sans Flag)]

Now, now, he did give part of Poland to the Soviets, so he didn't really take all of it!

[TheZeitgeist]

The reasoning and ancient maps shtick China uses to 'claim' South China Sea is just a diplomatic MacGuffin.

Chinese want military control over South China Sea because Sunda Strait, couple hundred miles south of there, is basically China's economic pipe and can be turned off like a spigot by only one American carrier group from other side of the strait - and there is not much Chinese can physically do about that presently.

That keeps Chinese up at night, and from the South China Sea bases to their sudden interest in fleet carriers they are trying to remedy that pretty glaring strategic vulnerability.

[Scarecrow & WoodChipper Repair]

Hmmmm, makes sense more than pure greed. Though I still can't understand how they thought all their neighbors would just accept it.

Thanks.

200) Tonius: What are you doing in the porch of Hit 'n' Run, Sugarfretes? Surely you cannot be concerned in a suit, like myself?
Sugarfretes: Not in a suit, Tonius. Impeachment is the word the federal prosecutors use.
Tonius: What? I suppose that someone has been prosecuting you, for I cannot believe that you are the prosecutor of another.
Sugarfretes: Certainly not.
Tonius: Then someone else is prosecuting you?
Sugarfretes: Yes.
Tonius: And who is he?
Sugarfretes: It is a she, Tonius, and I hardly know her. Her name is Katherine, of the deme of Manhattan. Perhaps you may remember her appearance: she has a beak, and short straight hair, and an ill manner.

[Just a thought not a sermon]

Tonius: No, I do not remember her Sugarfretes. But what is the charge she brings against you?
Sugarfretes: What is the charge? Well, a very serious charge, which shows a good deal of character in the young woman, and for which she is certainly not to be despised. She says she knows how the youth are corrupted and who are their corruptors. I fancy that she must be a wise woman, and seeing that I am the reverse of a wise man, she has found me out, and is going to accuse me of corrupting her young friends. If she goes on as she has begun, she will be a very great public benefactor.
Tonius: I hope that she may; but I rather fear, Sugarfretes, that the opposite will turn out to be the truth. My opinion is that in attacking you she is simply aiming a blow at the foundation of the state. But in what way does she say that you corrupt the young?
Sugarfretes: She brings a wonderful accusation against me, which at first hearing excites surprise: she says that I am a poet or maker of fiction, and that I twist the meaning of events and incite threats against high officials; this is the ground of her indictment. But wait, I perceive from far off young Wartius approaches.
Tonius: Returning from his morning visit to the gymnasium, no doubt. And with him, it seems, his friend Groovus.
Wartius (drawing near): By Herakles, it is Sugarfretes and Tonius. I am surprised to see the two of you abroad so early.

[Just a thought not a sermon]

Sugarfretes: Indeed, but we have reasons which we will explain to you shortly. You, I suppose, have been wrestling all comers?
Wartius: Yes, I have wrestled already twelve visiting Cretans, and lifted many heavy stones and other weighted objects as well.
Sugarfretes: You are the finest built of the many young men I see at the gymnasium, Wartius, but tell me, does lifting these heavy objects truly improve your bodily health?
Wartius: Indeed, Socrates, my opinion is that this art is in many ways useful to young men. It is an advantage to them that among the favorite amusements of their leisure hours they should have one which tends to improve and not to injure their bodily health. No gymnastics could be better or harder exercise; and this, of all arts, are most befitting to a freeman. Further, this sort of skill inclines a man to the love of other noble lessons. Let me add a further advantage, which is by no means a slight one,-that this science will make any man a great deal more valiant and self-possessed in the field. And I will not disdain to mention, what by some may he thought to be a small matter;-he will make a better appearance at the right time.
Groovus: That is admirable, for in the body the good and healthy elements are to be indulged, and the bad elements, the elements of disease, are not to be indulged, but discouraged. But enough of that subject, Sugarfretes, tell Wartius and me your reason for being here in the porch of Hit 'n' Run at this time.

[SugarFree]

+1 platter of swan tongues

[Just a thought not a sermon]

Sugarfretes: An accusation against me, which is a slander.
Wartius: What do the slanderers say?
Sugarfretes: They shall be my prosecutors, and I will sum up their words in an affidavit: "Sugarfretes is an evil-doer, and a curious person, who searches into things under the earth and in heaven, and he makes the worse appear the better cause; and he teaches the aforesaid doctrines to others."
Groovus: A most grievous accusation, for even if it were true, what harm does it to do to them if you speak with others in such a way?
Sugarfretes: Indeed. But see how sensitive the citizens have become; they chafe impatiently at the least touch of authority and at length, as you know, they cease to care even for the laws, written or unwritten; they will have no one over them. Such, my friend is the fair and glorious beginning out of which springs tyranny.
Groovus: I desire to hear more of your thoughts on the origins of tyranny, for as you know, I am but recently returned from Scythia, which has had the misfortune of living under a tyrant not so long ago.
Sugarfretes: Yes, so I have heard.
Wartius: Tell me, Groovus, is it true that Scythia has the most beautiful women in the world, as its reputation holds?
Groovus: That is something I have observed with my own eyes and can assure you with total confidence.

[Just a thought not a sermon]

Sugarfretes: Very good, friend Wartius. Let us turn back then to tyranny. Say then, my friend, in what manner does tyranny arise?
Groovus: That it has a democratic origin is evident.
Sugarfretes: Yes. When a democracy which is thirsting for freedom has evil cupbearers presiding over the feast, and has drunk too deeply of the strong wine of freedom, then, unless her rulers are very amenable and give a plentiful draught, she calls them to account and punishes them, and says that they are cursed oligarchs.
Groovus: Yes, that is their way.
Sugarfretes: This then and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector.
Groovus: That is quite clear.
Sugarfretes: How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant?
Groovus: I would like to hear what you think on it.

According to the company, VylyV are the first smart pelvic training shorts in the world.

And they claim wearing the piece of clothing can improve the strength of an erection , sexual stamina and even lead to multiple orgasms.

A promotional tongue-in-cheek video, available on YouTube , shows the shorts, similar to biking shorts, worn by a model.

At one stage a female model wearing red stilettos steps into a car and asks the man wearing the shorts: "Is there anything you're hiding from me?"

Holocaust Museum to visitors: Please stop catching Pok?mon here

But there's at least one place that would really like to keep Pok?mon out: the Holocaust Museum.

UK Parliamentary Report Finds US Allies Are Covertly Funding ISIS

In evidence submitted to the foreign affairs select committee, the Ministry of Defence said: "[There] is historical evidence of financial donations to Daesh [IS] from within Gulf states. Furthermore, it is understood that family donations are being made to Daesh, through the unregulated Alternative Value Transfer Systems (AVTS)."

AVTS include ways of globally transferring money that includes little information about the individuals involved in the transaction ? examples include the open source online currency Bitcoin.

The MoD cited as evidence an incident in September 2014 when an IS official was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department after receiving a $2m donation "emanating from the Gulf".

This school makes it nearly impossible to fail

It's hard to fail at one Queens school ? where the minimum grade for course work has been set at 55 even for students who skip quizzes and homework.

The high failing floor at top-rated Marie Curie MS 158Q in Bayside is a lifeline for students who tank some exams but can eke out 70s or 80s on other tests to pull up their overall grade to 65, the minimum needed to pass.

Educators said the thinking behind the policy is that a student who gets a very low score on a single exam or assignment ? such as a zero for not doing the work ? has almost no way to reach a 65 passing mark.

The growing gender divide over Ghostbusters: Why movies starring women get slimed by male critics

After months of fanboys arguing over a movie no one has even seen, critics finally got a peek at Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" reboot, in which comedians Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Melissa McCarthy suit up to fight the supernatural. And much to the relief of everyone who has spent months preparing themselves for the worst, the consensus is mainly positive: The film currently holds a 77 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

There is, however, a growing gender divide over the film's reception. As of the time of writing, the film's scores from female reviewers are considerably higher, with 84 percent of women giving the movie a thumbs up. Time's Stephanie Zacharek comments, "The movie glows with vitality, thanks largely to the performers, who revel in one another's company." Meanwhile, the New York Times' Manohla Dargis writes that it's "cheerfully silly" and Kate Muir of U.K.'s The Times says it's a "rollickingly funny delight."

On the flip side, 77 percent of the critics who gave the film a thumbs down are male.

[Idle Hands]

or alternate theory it could suck, and it sucking could have nothing to do with the fact women star in it.

[Just a thought not a sermon]

I wonder if there was a gender divide for criticism of Steel Magnolias, Thelma & Louise, etc.?

[LynchPin1477]

Subtle switch of statistics: 84% of women give it a thumbs up while 77% of those who give it a thumbs down are male. But that does *not* mean 77% of mean give it a thumbs down, and my guess is that there are more male critics, so it may not be surprising that more men than women disliked it. My guess is a majority of those who gave it at thumbs up are men. An apples to apples comparison would say what percentage of male critics give it a thumbs up.

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

Another important way to read the stats: 16% of women critics are gender-traitors.

[Illocust]

I was interested by that. Even with heavy pressure from feminist, they couldn't get 90% of women to fall in line and sing the things praises. That sounds like a crap movie.

[WTF]

On the flip side, why are women giving "thumbs up" to a movie that sucks?

[straffinrun]

It's true, those women have no dicks.

[NebulousFocus]

That's what I heard!

[Atanarjuat]

"To get what we want we need to start a gender culture war, just like the one the race hustlers have."

[Illocust]

They've tried. They'll always fail because women unlike people of a particular ethnicity are always born surrounded by the people that is being demonized. Often they have loved ones of the opposite gender. I'm pretty sure this problem is the main reason for places like safe spaces and constant talk about how dangerous and sexist it is for strange men to say Hi to women. You've got to isolate people from the other if you want them to hate them.

[Lee Genes]

I know, let's take a classic comedy film that wasn't about gender at all and redo it, but this time we'll insert a needless gender switch and make that the focus. Then when anyone complains that the film sucks, we'll accuse them of being misogynists. Instant media coverage.

[commoditous]

Once again, I have to ask: how is it empowering for women to take a franchise originally featuring men, cast women in their place, and release it as if there's something novel or significant about the film except Hey, vagina? Isn't feminism about demonstrating that women are more than just T&A? Or is it like modern racial theory, you count for nothing except your skin color and you're nothing except whatever you're hiding in your pants.

Racist Baristas Responsible for Surge in U.S. Soccer Fandom

This is a downright doozy of a lede:

For the stunted American male, frustrated with the changing demographics of the country and gripped by the belief that his days on top are coming to an end, there may be no form of pornography more satisfying than watching a bunch of hard-drinking, pub-singing soccer fans with thick brogues beat the hell out of one another.

Yes, this article is about soccer, but stay with me.

A proxy server seems like more what you are asking about. They allow fairly anonymous internet use by making it hard to track anything back to your actual IP address. They can also be used in places that censor the internet to get to blocked sites.

VPN allows connection over the internet to private networks. It's what you'd use if you were working from home and needed access to the company network.

I'm afraid I don't have any specific recommendations for proxy servers.

It makes it very easy to change the IP we show up from. They have an app for both Windows and Mac, and all you have to do is select the country you want to appear from. Use it to watch the wonderfully/horribly cheesy German New Years Eve shows, the Irish sporting events, and Six Nations rugby. Once you are finished using the proxy, just disconnect and you are back to normal. Overplay does a good job keeping the servers updated, and they have proxies all around the world.

Clinton Losing On Honesty In Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds

FLORIDA: Trump 42 - Clinton 39
OHIO: Clinton 41 - Trump 41
PENNSYLVANIA: Trump 43 - Clinton 41

With a drop in grades on honesty and moral standards, Democrat Hillary Clinton loses an 8-point lead over Republican Donald Trump in Florida, and finds herself in too-close-to-call races in the three critical swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today.

Clinton loses ground on almost every measure from a June 21 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. The Swing State Poll focuses on Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania because since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states.

GOP draft platform will include Trump's proposed border wall

The Republican platform committee included language calling for a border wall along the U.S. and Mexican border in the draft party platform, getting behind one of presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump's keystone proposals.

The group wrapped up drafting the plan Tuesday in Cleveland in advance of the convention there next week, when the platform will officially be voted on by the full convention's 2,472 delegates.

The proposed platform will express support for a "border wall" that must cover "the entirety of the Southern Border and must be sufficient to stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic."

The measure was proposed by Trump supporter Kris Kobach, the secretary of state from Kansas.

"This is why we support building a wall along our southern border and protecting all ports of entry," the measure says. "The border wall must cover the entirety of the southern border and must be sufficient to stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic."

Dallas police sniper was shunned by New Black Panthers, says group's leader

Dallas sniper Micah Johnson was shunned by the New Black Panther Party after he began encouraging fellow members to take up arms, the hate group's leader X claimed Monday.

Houston-based New Black Panther Party leader Quanell X told radio station KTRH he "excused" Johnson when the Army veteran encouraged the group to stockpile guns and ammunition.

"I knew brother, and brother had spent some time with us in New Black Panther Party nation and he also worked some security details for me in events that we had," X said in the radio interview with host Mike Patrick.

It was not clear if X considered Johnson a member of his group, but he said he told Johnson "to excuse himself" from the group about three years ago after Johnson questioned why the group was not buying guns and ammunition to fight the government.

Illinois seeks to shut down state Obamacare insurer; 49,000 to lose insurance

The state said it will allow policyholders to buy coverage from a different insurer before their Land of Lincoln plans are terminated, but it's unclear when the policies will lapse.

"It's a bad day for the marketplace in Illinois and our consumers," said Jason Montrie, president and interim CEO of Chicago-based Land of Lincoln. "This is the end."

The Department of Insurance said the decision was based on the startup company's deteriorating financial condition. Land of Lincoln is required to pay $31.8 million to other insurers under a complex formula in the Affordable Care Act, which aims to keep premiums stable by balancing risks among insurers.

But the payment placed too much financial stress on Land of Lincoln after it lost more than $90 million last year.

Hillary's Left Turn

With Bernie Sanders's decision yesterday to formally endorse Hillary, the last potential threat to her nomination has been eliminated. In any normal election year, a candidate in that position, especially one running against an opponent as divisive and unqualified as Donald Trump, would begin to pivot to the political center. Instead, Hillary continues to move further and further left. Having apparently decided she can't run as herself ? the slogan "Hey, at least I wasn't indicted" is less than inspirational ? she is doing her best to morph into the Democratic candidate that some people actually liked.

Last weekend, for instance, she moved closer to adopting Bernie's health-care plan. She hasn't gone all the way ? Berniecare's $38 trillion price tag is still a bit high for her ? but she will push for a so-called "public option" for Obamacare.

Islamic State reportedly preparing for end of its so-called caliphate

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2.....phate.html

Islamic State terror leaders are reportedly preparing for the fall of its so-called caliphate after the U.S.-led coalition and Russian-backed forces made significant gains in recent months in Iraq and Syria.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the terror group's leaders in Syria are bracing for its strongholds to fall, but vow to continue its wave of terror attacks abroad. U.S. counterterrorism experts believe the recent large-scale attacks in Istanbul and Baghdad are a sign that its reign in the Middle East is dwindling.

Experts still believe that even if the terrorists affiliated with ISIS start to move underground, the group will still remain dangerous abroad.

"Where Al Qaeda was hierarchical and somewhat controlled, these guys are not. They have all the energy and unpredictability of a populist movement," retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden told The Post.

ISIS officials still believe that its vision of a "caliphate" across the Middle East is still viable despite its losses across the region it claims. One also insisted that the group had "shifted some of our command, media and wealth structure to different countries."

They mentioned that many of the speakers there, including the mother of an African American mentally disabled man who had been shot by police, made mention that this was a problem that could happen to anyone of any race, and that the problem of police violence needed solving from everyone, because anyone could be victimized that way.

Being Baha'is, the emphasis on what we talked about was focused on the concept of Unity.

Though I thought some of you might like to know: Thankfully, not EVERY group out there protesting police shootings is playing up a racial narrative. There apparently ARE people out there who openly acknowledge that the victims of police brutality are of many races and ethnicities.

That's why BLM will go nowhere. Their counter-productive actions hurt chances for reform. It just invites everyone to double down while laying in their bunkers.

They have no interest in reform. They have no interest in black lives. I looked at the personal blogs of some of its top activists and found 'destroy capitalism' in all of their screeds.

They are, as have been described here by one commenter (my apologies, I cant remember who), as disgusting ghetto brownshirts. That is exactly what they are.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Same with the climate change cultists. It's not about climate. All about system change.

[Thymirus]

I think the cops in that photograph might be wearing rigid body armor. They look like their backs are being kept painfully straight.

[Stormy Dragon]

So the cop was spying on their conversations, speculating about what they might be up to, and then inserts himself between them and their waiter to monitor what they're ordering. Sounds like the couple was exactly right about wanting to be as far away from them as possible.

Why Guns Won't Be Allowed at the Republican Convention

Delegates to the Republican national convention would do best to leave their guns at home.

The Secret Service and the Quicken Loans Arena hosting the convention next week are both barring firearms within the convention, though state law allowing open carry will still apply to unsecured areas within the convention's event zone.

The arena has long banned firearms under an Ohio law that allows private properties to do so.

"In accordance with the Ohio's 'concealed carry' law and the right for private entities to ban handguns on their premises, firearms and other weapons of any kind are strictly forbidden on the premises of Quicken Loans Arena," states the Q's policies and procedures webpage.

The Guardian's view on Venezuela: both bad luck and bad management

[Lee Genes]

The odds are stacked high against good government in many Latin American countries. Most are deeply divided by race and class and feature a privileged, wealthy and largely white elite with a narrow view of its interests. Such groups cannot usually bring themselves to tolerate for long, let alone work with, progressive movements which want to make society fairer and more equal.

So the white elites are the reason the well-intentioned proggies failed in Venezuela. Gotcha.

[Domestic Dissident]

Now Hugo Chavez was a "white elite", just like George Zimmerman.

File this as item number one billion under media leftists are insane.

[Injun, as in from India]

This is in line with the link that I posted yesterday about the Cornell professor who equated capitalism with white supremacy. These people are stupid, but get to orally defecate nonsense.

[Injun, as in from India]

make society fairer and more equal.

"more" equal
Fair-er

Both superlatives point to only one thing: the Left's desire for more power.

[invisible furry hand]

You can have a society that's fair, or a society that's equal, but you can't have both.

[Zeb]

The elite (as in people who have some money and higher social status) in Venezuela is largely white. They clearly aren't talking about Chavez and the people running the government.

The rest is pretty idiotic, though. I'm pretty sure that their lack of tolerance for the socialists has a lot more to do with having their money and property stolen and the destruction of the economy than with race.

[Lee Genes]

I get what they're saying, but the whole article reads like a Comey non-indictment statement. Here's all the flaws with socialism, but it's totally the capitalist white elites' fault it failed.

[Zeb]

It is terrible and weaselly. I just like to give everything a fair reading.

[Injun, as in from India]

Using racism works very well when your audience is desperately looking for a boogeyman, and is simple-minded enough to believe it.

The Guardian is blaming "white elites".

An Indian equivalent would be blaming "upper-caste elites".

You always need an outgroup scapegoat, and ethnic grouping of some sort - whether it is race, caste, or religion - is the simplest thing to latch on to.

[Adans smith]

"The president of Venezuela put the armed forces in charge of the new food supply system."

Just yesterday I predicted that there will be some kind of forced labor enacted soon, most likely on the pretense of producing food, a la Pol Pot.

Chavez and Maduro seized all of the private farms and they fell into ruin because the non-farmers won't work them, at least they won't as long as a rifle is not pointed at them.

[straffinrun]

I'm not sure which book nails that situation better, Atlas Shrugged or Road to Serfdom.

Yes. You are exactly right.

This is PRECISELY what would happen to all dipshit, faux-intellectual North American writers who defend socialism, bash capitalism, prop up communist regimes, and who find all sorts of things to gripe about in a free and advanced civilization. That is, the people they 'admire' would eventually either turn them in indentured servants to the state or line them up and shoot them.

[Suthenboy]

My favorite line from memory: "When they see the reality of their world of social justice and equality they won't like it very much. They will become dissidents and dissent cannot be allowed. They will be squashed like cockroaches."

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded ? here and there, now and then ? are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

[Suthenboy]

"When the oil money was flowing in, things did not work that well in Venezuela. But a great deal that was worthwhile was achieved, in spite of a lot of waste and misdirection. Above all, the expectations of ordinary people ? their sense of what the state owed its citizens ? was changed for ever by Hugo Ch?vez. They knew he was on their side and they knew their welfare was at the centre of his endeavors."

Good fuckin' grief, what a steaming pile that is.

A forum that I frequent:

My home has been designated a Pokemon Go hotspot...Help?

For the past two days, people on my lawn, behind my house... by my cars, in front of the house. I started counting today, at 35 I stopped. A private residence. Never a church, or any other public place. It has always been a home.

This is happening at 1-2 am as well.

I have a Son with severe autism who is getting pretty wigged out by all of the people with their smart phones wandering about the place.

I have heard the makers do not grant removal requests.

Last night someone went around my car with a key. Just for fun I suppose while chasing an elusive pokemon.

BREAKING NEWS: The D.B. Cooper case has baffled the FBI for 45 years. Now it may never be solved.

Out of all America's skyjackings, only one remains unsolved.

The case has confounded FBI investigators for decades ? its astonishing details, clues and alleged participants have become the stuff of American criminal lore.

The story has inspired songs, T-shirts and books, and the main character has, at times, bordered on American folk hero status.

Now, after one of "the longest and most exhaustive investigations" in FBI history, the agency is finally moving on from the search for the notorious skyjacker known as D.B. Cooper, according to a statement released by the FBI.

This just in from a dusty old evidence locker that hasn't been opened in 45 years... the case may never be solved! OMG I'm shocked.

[Injun, as in from India]

The FBI should check with Trump. He has evidence that Ted Cruz's father is D.B. Cooper.

GOP Platform Committee is worried some people may not realize how much they hate homosexuals:

Donald Trump's Platform Committee: Gay Sex Deadlier Than Smoking

[Suthenboy]

Pathetic smear campaign is pathetic.

[kbolino]

So...

not Trump,
not the platform itself,
but some of the people who wrote the platform

... by this standard, Hillary Clinton's Platform Committee: As Socialist As the Sandinistas

[Calidissident]

I'm pretty sure there's plenty of stuff in the platform for gay people to dislike. Ignoring the obvious fact that the GOP is a homophobic party is just stupid denial.

And sure, there is plenty of crazy in the DNC platform/committee too. Wasn't Cornel West involved?

[kbolino]

the GOP is a homophobic party

No, the Muslim Brotherhood is a homophobic party. The GOP is a party with some homophobes in it.

[Calidissident]

So it doesn't count unless you go full-blown "kill them all" ala radical Islamic extremists? That's absurd. A majority of GOP members/voters do not approve of homosexuality and this is reflected in the party's platform and actions. Yes, they're not nearly as bad ISIS or the Taliban and equating them (as some on the left do) is idiotic, but that doesn't mean there's no problem. There is a reason why gay people overwhelmingly vote Democrat and why most gay Republicans have been trying for years to significantly alter the party's platform, with a lot of pushback.

[kbolino]

Also, I missed the part where any actual facts were presented in the article to contradict the committee member's claim.

[Broswater]

Long story short : My brother met this Brazilian girl (girl A) on Tinder. Didn't worked out mostly because of the distance but the girl is a really nice and fun person, so they kept in touch. She happened to live about a mile from my place. She got a boyfriend, my bro went back to tinder. And everyone moved on.

Last weekend she was supposed to match him with a friend of hers (girl B) that got dumped by her husband, and that is in need of some vitamin D. But since my bro wasn't seeing anyone and girl A's new boyfriend sucked, they ended up hooking up together again.

While I was originally supposed to be just wing-man to my bro that night, to my great surprise, it seems that girl B, well... find the stupid fat hobbit to be funny and the pen pusher rich O-4 she was to be matched with to be boring and probably a bit pretentious. And tonite, girl A invited me back to her place (where girl B lives until she go back home in a few weeks) for a few drinks and dinner.

So, here is my question, any recommendations on do's and don't's with brazilian girls? My evening will probably end up with my browser in incognito mode, but hey, I guess I'm an optimist.

[Lee Genes]

Brazilian women are just like other women. Stare at their breasts for an uncomfortably long time and you'll do fine.

''You... you do know I was making fun of your shitty country right?''

Oh and hum... they are more white than me, a guy that was born between two Laurentia mountains next to a freezing cold lake, so I'm thinking they are not from the favelas...

[Injun, as in from India]

Whatever you do, be tactful. And remember this old proverb:

A dick in the bush is better than two in the hand.

[Suell]

They are like women everywhere, continue to be funny and confident and interested in her and you are more than halfway there. Learning a few words in Portuguese wouldn't hurt your chances, even if you mangle it somewhat. It is customary to greet them with a kiss on each cheek (sometimes it is only one, and in some parts three). One sign of how much she likes you will be how much she turns her head when getting those pecks. Letting you closer to the lips is better for your chances. Oh, and they seem to be more kissing focused than American women. The beijo is revered in Brazil.

[Broswater]

I'm french-canadian. We go french with greeting women (peck on cheeks, unless it's in a professional environment) and canadian with greeting men (we beat each other up, unless it's in a professional environment, then we break each others hands, that's our way of telling who is the best lumberjack.

Somewhat OT:

Less than a month after Gary Johnson stabs the LP in the back regarding heroin and opioid addiction, Team Red and Team Blue make him look like an outdated fool on the subject by approving a bill with the nominal aim of; developing, implementing, or expanding a treatment alternative to incarceration program.

I agree, the bill is in no way perfect and generated largely as the result of scare tactics; there's lots of free shit and plenty of places for bleeding hearts to draw paychecks. However, a bill on the President's desk nominally aimed at softening prosecution and moving addiction away from being a moral issue makes Gary's "I'm all about pot and only pot." stance seem like a big shit-sandwich for the LP and/or libertarian principles.

[Zeb]

Was he saying that pot was the only thing he would think about at all when it comes to drug policy in general, or just when it comes to full legalization?

[Chip the Chipper]

I got hit with the "a vote for Johnson is a vote for Hillary" bullshit yesterday from my boss. I told him "No it is not. It is a vote for Gary Johnson."

"You know he has no chance in winning, right"

"I don't care."

This is coming from the guy who is commiserating over the "fact" he has to vote for Trump.

[Injun, as in from India]

Speaking of which, what do you guys think are the odds of a delegate revolt?

Heavily Armed Drug Cops Raid Retiree's Garden, Seize Okra Plants

"Okra busts like these are good reason for taxpayers to be skeptical about the wisdom of sending guys up in helicopters to fly around aimlessly, looking for drugs in suburban gardens. And that's not to mention the issue of whether we want a society where heavily-armed cops can burst into your property, with no grounds for suspicion beyond what somebody thought he saw from several hundred yards up in a helicopter."
