“The number of employed Americans has now set a 14th record under President Trump. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by 84 cents, or 3.2%. Participation Rate hits Trump-Era High.” CNS NEWS. And we will do even better with new trade deals and all else!

Hey, it's all good. They paid lawyers, coughed up court costs, paid fines...
Those Cowboys are job MAKERS!

I just tried to move my mother’s phone from one side of her retirement community to the other.

Can do it online if you have Verizon internet. Have to call if you do not.

Why is Verizon still in business?

Once again, there appears to be a virtual media blackout on New Year’s Eve car torchings by Muslim youths in France, but according to the Sydney Morning Herald the Yellow Vests, though reduced in numbers, were out again in Paris causing damage: Yellow vest violence surges with attack on French government building

Paris: The first Yellow Vest demonstration of the new year reached a new level of violence Saturday as a government ministry building was attacked and the minister evacuated out the back door. What started two months ago as a protest over fuel taxes has turned into a more general attack on the French government.

The Colts won over the Texans, 21-7.

The city is thrilled. Now on to Kansas City.

I wonder what the Carbon output is of 1,000 Citroen's burning on one evening at the home of the Paris Climate Accords?

Nothing wrong with Kearns Goodwin that a good throat slashing couldn't cure. Preferably after one of these holiday cheers:

I haven't seen the Cowboy's lineup in a while but I'm calling 'Cultural Appropriation.' Cowboys don't tuck six shooters in sweat pants.

I would hate to be on the Jury because this psycho is so personally repulsive looking to me she makes me feel like vomiting: Race-faker Rachel Dolezal to appear in court on welfare fraud charges after claiming she was living off 'a few hundred' dollars a month yet deposited $80,000 during same period

---Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, was charged in May with welfare fraud for allegedly illegally receiving $8,747 in food assistance

---During that same time, it's said she deposited $80,000 while claiming she was surviving on 'a few hundred' dollars a month that was being donated by friends

---Prior to Dolezal's outing, she was the head of the NAACP in Spokane

The Trial will begin in Spokane on March 4

March Madness!

I need to find the video of the two old black retired football players giving the (black) rookies 'The Talk.'

The gist is, you need to designate a patsy to take the fall for all the illegal guns and drugs when your Ramge Rover gets pulled over...

See, it's stuff like this that makes me eschew discussions of astronomyhttps://phys.org/news/2019-01-catastrophic-galactic-collision-solar-space.html

[clarice]

And never mention dark matter around me.

[Narciso79]

I think 2 billion years is a good margin of error, didnt they prove dark matter is theoretical.

[daddy]

didnt they prove dark matter is theoretical.

I think Einstein said "There's no there, there."

Or was that Gertrude Stein?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Dark matter.

[Narciso79]

This is perhaps the most recent take

The milky way is so large even if it contacted another galaxy what are the odds that it would strike this particular spiral arm what they call the alpha qadrant.

Don Surber on comedians.
Im unimpressed by Louis CK but this is sensible.
https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2019/01/who-stands-by-roseanne.html
Louis C.K.'s bit was about David Hogg and the Parkland shooting survivors. He said, "They testify in front of Congress, these kids? What are they doing? You’re young! You should be crazy! You should be unhinged! Not in a suit. You’re not interesting. Because you went to a high school where kids got shot? Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way, and now I’ve got to listen to you talking?"

AP-NORC POLL: “Immigration among the top concerns in 2019.” People want to stop drugs and criminals at the Border. Want Border Security! Tell the Dems to do the inevitable now, rather than later. The wait is costly and dangerous!

He's twice as popular as Paul Ryan!

In Europe you must live in fear, apparently. You're not allowed to defend yourself.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/01/austrian-police-charge-woman-for-hitting-migrant-who-molested-her/

Austrian police have changed a young woman with inflicting bodily harm for defending herself against a sexual molester, local newspapers report. The incident took place during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Vienna’s landmark City Hall square, where a 21-year-old Swiss woman pushed back an Afghan migrant who tried to assault her.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Why are intellectuals and weirdos so uniformly homely?

[sbwaters]

Our son and DIL just gutted a kitchen and living room to redo them. Down to the outside walls. A triumph of will. Proud of their resolve to make it happen.

Nice up-and-coming generation.

[sbwaters]

Proud of how USA played hockey.

Winning matters.

But if the gods don’t allow you to win, how you play matters. It hurts but they can hold their heads high.

I thought Kev lived in "Nuclear Free" Berkeley, not Oakland.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

IDK, thought he had mentioned living in the Oakland Hills near where the fire was.

[MissMarple2]

Ignatz,

My opinion is that homely people are drawn to leftism, feeling that they are outcasts and will derive benefits from their policies.

[Narciso79]

Wait what?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

That seems like a credible hypothesis, MM.
I'm surprised some sociologist hasn't devised a double blind study to test it, but then all sociologists are leftists so they're not gonna like the outcome, are they?
A conundrum.

[MissMarple2]

I really recommend watching the video linked in this Twitter post. Iran bothers me because I remember how it used to be.

This is Iran before 1979. Before Sharia law & the Islamic Revolution. Today women are oppressed, having their rights taken away, reduced to little more than property. This is the transformation you're seeing take place in Europe, right before your eyes. pic.twitter.com/hrRUQNtn1t

Could somebody give me a thumbnail scetch on:

1. Property Tax Arrears

2. I Pay Them

3. ?

4. Profit!

[Captain Hate]

Property taxes are the Deep State's argument against freedom. They're an 18th century concept when only male property owners voted. They should've been shitcanned a long time ago.

Well I know that in certain cases you can take possession of property if you go down to the courthouse and pay them. I see an opportunity to also possibly help a semi-crazy but nice hoarder lady with a large West Nashville corner lot.

Pin,

Investing in property liens is popular and viable, but you'll be up against very savvy buyers.

Find an auction. Go. See if you can figure out what's going on.

If not, you need to educate yourself.

[Pinandpuller]

Interesting, jim. My parents had this crazy neighbor. Lawyer and confirmed bachelor, like Lindsey Graham you might say. Before he got carted away to a rest home they found him in the basement in the very back room of the house. It got condemned and bulldozed and now it looks like a park.

Interesting take on Turkish strategy.

[Narciso79]

Yes it is, most who think Turkey wants to fight Islamic state are just ignorant of sectarian geography or just are engaging in wishful thinking.

Criminal gangs acting up in Fortaleza. Brazil sending in troops to knock it down.

I expect to see lots of this in the near future.

Brazil's army is the largest "gang" in the country.

[Narciso79]

Yes the strongest tribe, their police squads are also pretty impressive,

[jim nj]

Narciso,

Agreed, I think both Russia and the US are trying to keep Turkey out of Syria.

I suspect the Turkish military is also inclined that way. What Ankara thinks it can be able to accomplish may be at odds with what the military thinks is more likely to happen.

I read yesterday that Turkey wants significant US help to go after ISIS. I also read an article that suggests that the Turkish army is a mass force bludgeon without the sustained ability to fight a foreign insurgency.

[jim nj]

Narciso,

I think the urban gangs have been left alone because it's too dangerous for the police to do a ground attack.

Add in the army with their ability to do an aerial envelopment and the odds change biggly.

[jim nj]

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-usa-base/brazil-military-uneasy-with-bolsonaros-openness-to-u-s-base-source-idUSKCN1OZ0IW

I don't know if we need a base in Brazil, but it is interesting that the offer was made.

Maybe we could just help them with urban combat training.

[daddy]

Well if this ain't the very definition of "progress" I don't know what is:

Saudi women to get divorce confirmation by text message

A new regulation in Saudi Arabia is set to stop Saudi women from not knowing about their own divorce.

Starting from Sunday, courts will be required to notify women by text on rulings confirming their divorces.

...the measure will end what are known as secret divorces - cases where men end a marriage without telling their wives.

"The new measure ensures women get their [alimony] rights when they're divorced," Saudi lawyer Nisreen al-Ghamdi told Bloomberg. "It also ensures that any powers of attorney issued before the divorce are not misused."

Whoa! Next thing you know they'll be able to open their own bank accounts, and even get elective surgery.

[daddy]

Jim in Sunnyvale,

Sorry, but I have no input on the History Channel or on that topic. Narciso?

[jim nj]

https://spectator.us/europe-continent-high-vis-jackets/

"Europe is a continent in crisis – where lo-vis people now wear high-vis jackets.
Outside their prosperous cities, the hinterlands of France, Germany, Italy and beyond are hitting back."

The hinterlands are bleeding away people and businesses. Sounds like parts of the US.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/01/04/the-blob-is-lying-about-trumps-sudden-syria-withdrawal/

Writes about the process of our withdrawal from Syria which began with internal discussions back in April. It infers that this was not a spur of the moment decision by Trump.

Strange that it takes this long for this analysis to air.

[jim nj]

Daddy,

The "Blob" is what caught my attention to click on it. I guess they mean the MSM. Think of it as Narciso speak.

[jim nj]

Daddy,

Maybe it's even more inclusive so as to include anonomous "sources."

Oh, BTW, thanks to whomever mentioned Malwarebytes. My PC was acting funny in wake up mode. It didn't follow the same procedure as usual. Random differences going through start-up.

Malwarebytes found 12 things it didn't like and I quarantined them, now it's back to normal.

And Firefox is adding new privacy options

https://download.cnet.com/news/firefox-review-heres-why-you-should-switch-to-this-free-secure-and-hecka-cool-web-browser/

I block third party trackers.

See here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/private-browsing/

and here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/adblocker/

I've been playing around with the new features and have been getting a better browsing experience.

The only problem I've found so far is that some sites want you to white-list them to see content. I right click on Adblocker and disable filtering on the site and re-load the page. I see content and then the blocking message re-appears. It's either a problem with me not following their exact white-listing process, or their cookies are too stupid to realize that Adblocker is now off.

At that point it's not worth further effort to see their content so I just close the page and move on.
