Bernie And Bloomberg

Bern, baby Bern is in the Dem 2020 race. Mike Bloomberg may be dialing up his contemplation. As to Bloomberg's prospects, is the nation ready for a brash self-made New York billionaire?

Wow. Would have thought this would be the kind of high profile case they effectively couldn’t settle.

The Redpill Mill is running 4-10's for the Holiday.

From a henry link several threads back:

The rate of violent crime in Nashville-Davidson County is 1,102 per 100,000 residents.

In 2016, FBI data said 81 people were murdered there.

Usually, high crime rates correspond with low income levels and high unemployment rates. But Nashville is an anomaly. It had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, at 3.6 percent, in 2016.

Another Bob,

Pope Che has driven me away from the Church. I joined under Pope Benedict.

I don't know what to do. The Protestant denominations around here are mostly just as liberal, if not worse. I guess I am going to have to investigate independent churches.

Sad.

Ig, if everybody in the world would just do what my youngest sister and I see so clearly what they should do , we would all live in peace and harmony. ;-)

(You know damn well I've posted links for MM at her request at least five times in the past three years. I am entitled to what is known as ritcheous anger at having her moan about being all on her own today, even though I do get what she's saying is that her doctor is not on top of things, so she can't look to him for support or advice. What else is new?)

anonamom,

Please drop your anger. All I meant was that I was going to have to go to your links because my doctor was clueless.

I thought I had made that plain when describing what was on the television in the waiting room, as well as him not knowing about keto or anything else.

I have paid attention to what you said, or I wouldn't have asked him about it!

Why do you think I flagged you about what happened?

I am sorry you are upset, but I was NOT pissing and moaning, but rather trying to point out that doctors often don't know what's going on.

I apologize for getting you upset. I didn't mean to do so at all.

For the Lord only knows how manyth time---Undoctored by William Davis MD tells you all you need to know to take care of yourself. Get a copy from the library if you can't buy your own. You can join his online group if you want his company on your journey.

Yes, very few practicing physicians are on top of how to stay healthy. They are too busy being compliant with government and third party payer regulations to do much reading. Look at yours as your employee, not your parent, and adjust your expectations accordingly.

(4)
(A) accepting, serving in, or performing the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after attaining the age of eighteen years if he has or acquires the nationality of such foreign state; or (B) accepting, serving in, or performing the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after attaining the age of eighteen years for which office, post, or employment an oath, affirmation, or declaration of allegiance is required; or

(6) making in the United States a formal written renunciation of nationality in such form as may be prescribed by, and before such officer as may be designated by, the Attorney General, whenever the United States shall be in a state of war and the Attorney General shall approve such renunciation as not contrary to the interests of national defense; or
(7) committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow, or bearing arms against, the United States, violating or conspiring to violate any of the provisions of section 2383 of title 18, or willfully performing any act in violation of section 2385 of title 18, or violating section 2384 of title 18 by engaging in a conspiracy to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, if and when he is convicted thereof by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

They are not just reluctant - it's a political hot potato. The EU doesn't want its' people back. It wants somebody else - like the US - to hold on to them or kill them.

They'll then accuse us of barbarous acts.

What they should do is arrange for a swap in custody from the SDF forces to Syria and pay the Syrians a few dozen million Euros to feed , house, try them, find them all guilty and shoot them with EU supplied bullets.

[clarice]

Yes, jimnj they want us to be the bad guys. Have the Syrians take custody--I don't think we'd need to pay them anything.we just let them know where they are and tell them we/re leaving..come and get them.

This is audio of Gorka interviewing Sara Carter. Worth the 11 minutes of your time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=qf9VIZj2hNM

Among other things, at the end they talk about why the unmasking investigation has been stymied: Obama converted en masse political appointees into civil servants so that they couldn't be pushed out. They are the "fifth column that is countering, that is slow rolling the congressional oversight function that is required by law of the intelligence community," says Gorka. Carter is very determined to stay on them, and she seems convinced that this will blow up within the year. I hope so.

Selling assets to pay down debt is usually a bad idea, unless the buyer pays more than they’re worth.

Well, not really, especially if the debt was for the acquisition of the asset, and the asset is no longer needed.

But, interestingly for the discussion of selling a state, there was some talk about Nevada during the Bundy standoff. Apparently Nevada was allowed into statehood before it qualified, and there was not much homesteading allowed, because the federal government was supposed to SELL those vast federal lands and the funds raised were specifically targeted to pay off debt from fighting the Civil War. Instead the feds just held on to the land, and the debt. And they weren't charging the Bundys enough rent ever through generations because the government is a terrible landlord and should have just sold the land to the Bundys.

We joke about selling a state to the Canadians, but the federal government selling off enough land (to Americans) in the western US so that the percentage of government ownership in the west were brought to be equal to the percent of government ownership in the east, that would make a damn good down-payment on paying off the federal debt. (Although the cronycrats would manage to steal a lot of it. Isn't it Diane Feinstein whose husband has the contract for selling off excess post office property, and has managed to become a mega-gazillionaire from the skim? Maybe when Trump retires in 2024 that can be his post-president job to bust heads and get the maximum amount of money for the Treasury.)
