John Kerry and “O” are out of their minds. Why aren’t other muslim countries stepping up to the plate, to take in the people fleeing Syria?
You break it you fix it.
They want to ring their freedom in your neighborhood, what’s so wrong about it?
Let freedom ring……
This should make anybody angry enough to vote for the candidate that Sheldon Adelson purchased.
This is an article for the “progressives” and promoters of cultural relativism:

Thanks for the link. I could barely get through that article. Horrific.
These are our “allies” with their “boots on the ground” in Afghanistan.
This is what that yellow magnetic ribbon supports and promotes.
Lame to pin this on “progressives.” Afghan society is an example of extreme conservatism, of the sort that was popular in the middle ages.

Cultural relativism = WPA = white people apologizing.

I highly recommend the website Refugee Resettlement Watch:
https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2009/12/17/somali-youths-randomly-attacking-and-robbing-people-in-lewiston-me/
Imagine you live in a quiet New England city or town, but can no longer take a walk by yourself for fear of getting attacked by Bantu youth.
Did everyone know that organizations like Catholic Charities get federal funding to the tune of billions of dollars and that they receive money to dump refugees in otherwise decent communities?:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Charities_USA
They get paid per head to resettle “refugees” in the US. And that is why there is a Little Mogadishu in Minnesota.
“And that is why there is a Little Mogadishu in Minnesota.”
There is one in Greeley, and the local Hispanics are UNHAPPY about that. So much so that the WalMart near the college campus (AKA WalMartinez) has a 24/7 security patrol in the parking lot to keep fights (some with guns) from breaking out.
Repeat the mantra: Diversity is our strength.
It’s only 10:15 east coast time, the “progressives” won’t wake up and start posting here until noon. But until they do show up to repeat the mantra, here a repost of the 2014 Super Bowl Coke commercial:

My strong town is about 94% white. Smart people create strength.
“White” doesn’t automatically mean strong or smart. Visit your local Wal-Mart and take a good look around.
We don’t have a Walmart and I would never shop there. WMT is a moocher co.
Hello Rockstar, sharing this since you predicted it.
This is the top headline on the “progressive” Salon website right now. And why is it the top headline? Scripting a narrative.
http://www.salon.com/2015/09/21/im_a_pedophile_but_not_a_monster/
If you ever wondered what the end game of “social justice” is, this is it.
Considering the prevalance of pedophile rings in Establishment elite circles, I can see this will be the next taboo to fall.
At what age do these guys (and gals, BTW) start taking “The Treatment”?
Bwahahahah, no one ever wonders what happened to all those kiddies who crossed the border.
Jeffrey Epstein (friend of Bill Clinton), the recent Hollywood sleaze (producer of X-Men), and the alleged snuff ring in the UK Parliament (the perpetrators of which now conveniently dead), all of these stories appear, very briefly, and are then flushed down the memory hole.
This is the “progressive” agenda. This is what “social justice” is.
Sometimes, I hate being right.
Me, too.
This is the “progressive” agenda.
To be fair, the “real conservatives” like the Bush clan are no slackers when it comes to indulging in this sort of thing.
Kind of odd that “progressives” (grrr- that word!) would seek to lower the age of consent, considering that raising the age of consent was a progressive (grrr) goal, and that the age of consent is generally higher in blue states than in rural red states (marrying ‘em young being a conservative tradition). Throw in the fact that in those progressive, liberal (double grr) colleges and universities you nearly have to sign a dozen consent forms to have sex with someone who is legally an adult, and one might say that’s there’s no logical connection between “progressivism” (grr) and lowered age of consent whatsoever.
If one were to consider facts instead of reacting to dog whistles.
it’s good cover, lol.
All kidding aside, this really has nothing to do with some left-right paradigm.
What part of “scripting a narrative” do you fail to understand?
What part of “scripting a narrative” do you fail to understand?
I understand what you are doing.

Exposing the “progressive” agenda which is the normalization of any and all forms of deviant and/or nonconformist sexuality?
And to palmy’s point, it’s not a left/right thing, from the point of the participants anyway. It’s a 0.1% and 0.01% versus the rest of the unwashed rabble thing, not because the rabble are without its share of pervs, but because the 0.1% and 0.01% can get away with it.
I welcome the side effects of all of this, specifically what it has done to millennial women, you have no idea what some of these girls on Tinder are willing to do…

So you’re a willing and happy participant in this supposed debauchery? How then are you different from the pigmen? You do it in a crappier apartment?
To be fair, Catholic Charities is not the only “religious” organization involved in the “refugee” racket. So are the Lutherans.
http://lirs.org/
These “charity” organizations get billions from the taxpayer via the fed. They get paid per head to bring in refugees and migrants, they resettle (dump is more like it) them in formerly pleasant communities and then leave these communities to struggle with the fallout, because they move on to the next cattle call.
Defund Planned Parenthood? Gimme a break. Defund these bogus organizations that are really government contractors masquerading as charities.
Why is it that only the “right wing” European leaders so loathed by our political elites and their oligarch-owned media are warning of the dangers of mass migrations of unassimilable Third World invaders?

Read both links. Firstly, the catholic charities link was quite interesting, thank you. 1/2 of their funding is taxpayer based. Who knew.
The first link about somali youth thugs committing crimes against Americans (I’m assuming they leave their own alone) is just appalling. Evidently, they are entitled to be here. Just pisses me off. Thanks again.
I got home late and read your links. Busy, busy day.
The globalist oligarchs need to alter Europe’s demographics to permanently prevent the rise of nationalist movements that could be a bulwark to their looting and “fundamental transformation” schemes. Thus the Muslim refugee horde and forced resettlement in formerly cohesive communities serves the .1%’s neoliberal agenda and will be accelerated.
Racist.
Hello Inchy.

In order to raise the fed funds rate evidently the fed needs to sell treasuries and take dollars out of the reserves and so called federal funds.
The fed funds rate is the interbank rate of interest that banks use to borrow from each other to meet reserve requirements.
How can the FED really sell treasuries when basically they need to buy to make up for lackluster demand in the market?
Why is the FED so hesitant to sell treasuries?
It seems a little weird when you realize that the Fed and the Treasury are effectively two different arms of the same federal government financial system. Imagine your right arm selling baseball cards to your left arm; it wouldn’t really amount to much of a sale, would it?
The real meaning of one federal agency buying or selling debt issued by another seems confusing, but perhaps this just reflects my general ignorance regarding macroeconomic principles.
The Fed, a private banking cartel, should not be regarded as an arm of the “federal government” system. It serves only the corrupt and venal Oligopoly that installed it back in 1913. “The Creature from Jekyll Island” should be required reading for every American high school student - it would let them know, early on, “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”
Buy it. Read it. The Fed’s pernicious role in the destruction of the dollar and the productive economy will be made clear.

Texas high school football players say coach told them to hit referee
Published September 19, 2015
Associated Press
DALLAS – A Texas high school football coach directed two players to strike a referee during a game because of missed calls that had hurt the team, the players claimed Friday during a national broadcast.
During an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning, America,” Michael Moreno and Victor Rojas also repeated earlier claims that the ref had used racial slurs.
Video from the Sept. 4 game shows Rojas blindsiding Watts and Moreno diving on top of him. Watts was the umpire on the defensive side watching a play along the line of scrimmage.
Rojas alleged that Watts at one point told a Hispanic player to “speak English, this is America.” The soft-spoken Rojas said he couldn’t explain why he targeted Watts, only saying he was following instructions.
Moreno contends the ref used a racial slur directed at a black player. The teenager also said at the last moment he realized the gravity of what he was about to do and softened his blow on Watts.
“That’s not who I am,” he said. “Underneath the helmet and the pads, I’m really a great kid.”
Watts has denied using inappropriate language.
His attorney, New Jersey lawyer Alan Goldberger, told The Associated Press on Friday that the game video shows a crime was committed against Watts and now the perpetrators are blaming the victim for their actions.
“He didn’t say hurtful things to anybody and he certainly didn’t say racial epithets,” Goldberger said, adding that civil action is being considered.
Watts has officiated hundreds of football games over 14 years, but has stepped aside because he’s now under a doctor’s care for injuries inflicted by the players, Goldberger said.
What it was, was football.
More specifically, Texas High School Football.
Don’t mess with Texas.
“What it was, was football.”
Did you watch the video?
What it was, was assault and battery and those two boys should be charged along with their coach if what they say about him is true.
————————————————————–
Assault and Battery
Two separate offenses against the person that when used in one expression may be defined as any unlawful and unpermitted touching of another. Assault is an act that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent, harmful, or offensive contact. The act consists of a threat of harm accompanied by an apparent, present ability to carry out the threat. Battery is a harmful or offensive touching of another.
The main distinction between the two offenses is the existence or nonexistence of a touching or contact. While contact is an essential element of battery, there must be an absence of contact for assault. Sometimes assault is defined loosely to include battery.
Assault and battery are offenses in both criminal and Tort Law; therefore, they can give rise to criminal or civil liability. In Criminal Law, an assault may additionally be defined as any attempt to commit a battery.
At Common Law, both offenses were misdemeanors. As of the early 2000s, under virtually all criminal codes, they are either misdemeanors or felonies. They are characterized as felonious when accompanied by a criminal intent, such as an intent to kill, rob, or rape, or when they are committed with a dangerous weapon.
Intent
Intent is an essential element of both offenses. Generally, it is only necessary for the defendant to have an intent to do the act that causes the harm. In other words, the act must be done voluntarily. Although an intent to harm the victim is likely to exist, it is not a required element of either offense. There is an exception to this rule for the attempted battery type of criminal assault. If a defendant who commits this crime does not have an intent to harm the victim, the individual cannot be guilty of the offense.

Chinese president’s state visit is an opportunity to calm markets, U.S. official says
By Greg Robb
Published: Sept 18, 2015 6:19 p.m. ET
Reuters
President Obama with Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2014.
Chinese President Xi Jinping could use his state visit to Washington next week to calm fears in markets and elsewhere about the health of his nation’s economy, a senior U.S. Treasury official said Friday.
The official spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity.
If Xi can make clear that China is going to stay on the path of reform, that would be reassuring to people who care about the country’s long-term health, the official said.
Conversely, any sense that Chinese government officials might be backing away from letting the market have more sway in the domestic economy would have negative long-term implications on growth in their economy, the official said.
A host of important strategic and economic issues will be tackled at the meeting next Friday between Xi and President Obama, the official said.
China’s economy is in transition from being reliant on heavy industry and exports to consumer-driven. This process is not always going to be smooth and the market will sometimes send important signals about the direction or health of the economy, the official said. Governments can’t intervene after every such signal, the official said.
The official said there was no concern about the Treasury market given China’s recent sale of U.S. Treasurys as part of its interventions in the currency market.
Turning to domestic matters, the official said the U.S. is a source of strength for the global economy and Congress must not sew anxiety in coming days and weeks by shutting down the government or not increasing the debt ceiling.
…
Turning to domestic matters, Seattle-area traffic will be extra-nightmarish when The Chez (AKA Chinese President) is in town. He’s getting the Full Obama treatment, including dinner at Bill Gates’ house.
Yeah — extra security on MS campus, etc. I’m sure the East Side will be a fun mess!

Heh, years ago I read a piece by Wayne Madsen describing an orgy at the Mayflower Hotel where Karl Rove actually WAS the pig. Lol, I was only looking for background on the guy and got way more than I bargained for. I could only read so far before I got the dry heaves.
But, when you think about it, why should this surprise anyone, really? The US is following the path of Rome and the debauchery was very much a part of the decline.
Fellini was a visionary.
Your post alone is enough to give me the dry heaves. Is this what goes on in these frat houses and secret societies? No wonder I was a social outcast.
Heh, frat house stuff is mild compared to what goes on later on in life for these walking turds of humanity. Even their own children are not safe.
It would appear that the movie Eyes Wide Shut has a lot more truth in it than we want to acknowledge.
Today is X-Rated day on the HBB, apparently.
Lol, hardly. I think we’re being quite circumspect about the issue.
Actually, I’m glad to see people are actually discussing it without fear of being judged as far out conspiracy theorists. Because it certainly illustrates the depths of insanity and depravity prevalent in the ruling class and demonstrates why we find the political and financial things they do so insane. Look who is doing them.
When I wuz a pup, my parents came home early from a socialite party in NYC. Both were white as a sheet and very tight lipped. Years later, my mother had a drop too much to drink and spilled the beans a little. If I mentioned the name of the hosts, some might recognize it. You have no idea how far down the rabbit hole this stuff goes. And how far up the ladder.
The fish rots from the head first. If you have morally debauched Pigmen like Cameron and quite a few others I could name running the show for the benefit of their equally debased and sociopathic Oligopoly cronies and patrons, it might not end well for the 99%. Even if 95% voted for the corrupt status quo and are therefore accessories to its corruption and kletocracy.
Always remember these things go in cycles, Ray K. The pendulum swings one way and then it swings the other. Rome had to end the way it did to purge this stuff. Decadence is not good for survival, nor is it good for the future generations.
Rome and Greece never recovered, and now they’re the I and G in PIIGS, and are FUBAR till the end of time. We’re going down the same road. I don’t see how we can recover now that we’ve reached the point in IDIOCRACY where a full 95% of our electorate, if not our population writ large, are morons who willingly vote for their own buggering at the hands of the Oligopoly that owns our political elites.
Remember when it was argued about Clinton that his “morals don’t matter”?

This certainly what Wall Street and the rest of the PTB thinks. They’re concerned with what the government actually does.

In other words, rent increases are outpacing wage increases, especially for elderly minorities. Even worse, this is household income, not single income. Many rentals are 2-4 incomes, especially among minorities.
force declare it a “crisis”
then force taxpayers to subsidize

hc
you name it
Yes, I have said this before. If the private sector raises the price of a need high enough, the government will eventually subsidize it.
It would be nice to not subsidize something, thus forcing the landlord, college, health insurer etc to lower prices or lose business. But we know it doesn’t work. Those business owners can survive without business longer than people can survive without college or a place to stay. And the private sector knows it, and takes advantage accordingly.
Doubtful rents are doing anything but falling. Rental rates are still half the cost of buying at current grossly inflated asking prices.

You say that like it’s a BAD thing….
if you make concealed carry a national all or nothing, it makes banning concealed carry at the national level easier as well.
Legislation on these topics (and pretty much as much as possible) should be kept local/to the states. The only reason this should be done at a federal level is if it’s to be a constitutional amendment.

Wow, the early morning reactionaries are having a field day, a festival of Social Intolerance. No wonder, they are egged on by conservatives with their toxic behavior:
- Fiorina openly lies about non-existent Planned Parenthood video
- Ben Carson says a Muslim can’t be president, despite the Constitution’s prohibition on religious “test” for higher office. Never has a smart man been so dumb.
- Trump goes full demagogue and won’t say Obama is not a Muslim
- War on the Pope! Vilifying JFK for his Catholic faith didn’t work in 1960, why do conservatives think it’ll work now?
Gay-hating, immigrant-hating, muslim-hating, Catholic-hating, black-hating, women-hating, Hispanic-hating, science-hating haters gonna hate.
Don’t hold back, tell ‘em how you REALLY feel.
Screw the pope anyway, with his one refugee family in the Vatican. Silly old man.
The Catholic Church is historically slow to accept science (e.g., Galileo). If the Pope accepts the reality of climate change, what’s that say about the GOP?
Who cares? Silly old man.
I think Carson is watching Trump and is thinking, “Hey, they want full cray-cray? I can give them full cray-cray!”
The thing is Trump knows how to do it and get away with it, most of the others following his lead don’t.
It’s rather entertaining as they take turns alienating a new sector of voters every week.
Like those voters were going to vote for them anyway.

@drumminj
Just a heads up, the JT doesn’t seem to be marking posts I’ve read as read, and when I hit refresh, posts I’ve already clicked through are presented as new posts. It just started about an hour ago.
Hrm…working fine for me over here. If you open the JavaScript console (menu->MoreTools->Developer Tools, then choose “console” at the top), then hit “next” or “previous” as you navigate the posts, if it shows any error that’d be helpful.
Given the code hasn’t changed at all, I’m surprised you’re seeing a change in behavior.
I’m not given “console” as an option. Elements, Network, Sources, Timeline, Profiles are the options at the top of the developer’s tools page.
I’m on a chromebook.
Alright, found the console option. Here’s what it says:
Uncaught Reference Error: tick is not defined

(There’s more if you need it.)
My tick is apparently not defined. I think that’s my big problem.
This code will always come up on the HBB;
[rapidly/depreciating/housing]
That error is saying that the amount of data stored has exceeded the quota — either in total, or for the day (as far as I can tell).
I’m using sync’ed storage so you can browse on multiple machines and not lose your place (I read on my home computer in morning and at work during the day) so that works well. However, the amount of synced storage is far more constrained than just local.
I’m guessing the issue is the # of posts you are storing the comment count for. Have you modified the post history length setting? (defaults to 3 days). If not, try setting it to ‘2′ and see if that fixes things. When you change the setting it will automatically delete the older items.
I’ll have a look at changing the approach to avoid this issue.

I haven’t changed anything on it that I’m aware of. It froze up for a few seconds this morning and I think that’s when it quit marking already read posts as read.
I’m also getting a lot of:

Ultimately the only way this kind of overreach and coersion is going to be curbed, is if enough citizens say, “Enough!” and become active members of the ACLU, Rutherford Institute, or other groups that are battling back against the erosion of our basic rights and liberties. But since 95% of the electorate continues to bend over for the Republicrat Constitution-tramplers, that is a forlorn hope.
Looks like Bullard, one of the prime Fed villians in ZIRP and QE-to-Infinity, is now trying to distance himself from the Fed. Hmm. Is he thinking ahead to the post-collapse Pecora Commission-type investigations and trying to build a defense that he was less guilty than his Fed accomplices?

It looks like the Fed’s currency-manipulation racket has started up again following the last FOMC meeting and no-go on rate hikes.

same old bs out of them.
I have a question for ALL of you…..
Have any of you received a notice from the Census Bureau lately?
I have received 4 separate notifications telling me if I don’t respond - two things are gonna happen - a visit from an agent of the CB and/or a threat of imprisonment.
Chime in if you will.
I just read a post over on Investment Research about a guy in WA who had a visit from a supposed agent to his girl friend’s place there - the thing is the agent has a name that is really suspect and the agent was from the “LA region” of the Census Bureau.
My reaction to all this is - Yeah right - this is a ruse or more of pinhead Obama’s creeps drifting about trying to collect data.
It is just really creepy to me.
Call the Chicago Region at 1-800-865-6384 and ask them to verify the notices you got are legitimate.
Sounds like a scam. My FiL got something similar that turned out to be bogus.

lol “I read on the internet”
Dont let them scare you.
Did they actually use the word imprisonment? That sounds highly unlikely. What would the charge be?
You can in theory be fined for not complying, but in reality they apparently never fine anyone.

Worse meaning rents will keep going up or the world will end ??
I’ll eventually be camping in a tent halfways up Saddleback Mtn in Orange County California if rents continue to go up.
Is another government shutdown looming? Once again, ‘Muricans will see the clowns they elected at their partisan finest, and then re-elect them or worse alternatives.

The average body weight of an adult American female is now 166 pounds.
Why are fat men acceptable but plus-size women are not?
That said, are these fashion designers willing to foot the bill for the underlying medical problems for which obesity is a symptom?
“Underlying medical problems”? Is that what we’re calling gluttony and lack of pride or self-discipline these days?
If there’s an underlying medical condition, get it diagosed and deal with it instead of eating your feelings.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.
“Why are fat men acceptable?”
They are? That’s news to me. Then again, if the ladies find fatsos to be acceptable, whose fault is that?
How sweet would it be to have THIS as our First Lady?

“Mandatory Breathalyzers Could Soon Be in Every Car If Feds Have Their Way”
That’s ridiculous. What if you are, say Ahansen and just got attacked by a bear after having three beers… just sit there and die?
How often does that happen? Looks like a NEW market for “can of breath.”
I would never buy a car with a breathalyzer in it. Free market and all…

I hope half the state of California leaves. That would take us back to the 1960s.
But then they will turn the states of Texas, Arizona, and Nevada into nanny states. They are used to big government. Just like the Asians moving to California in droves. They become instant FSA Democrats.
The idea is to go to where few people want to go. Alabama. Too redneck for Californians who swear they are escaping lieberals but bring lieberal votes with them.
I’ll be doing tequila slammers in my computer driven car, waving to the cops.
Another would-be Oligopoly errand boy finally faces up to reality, and the Establishment GOP clown car is lightened by another departed stooge.

VA Accused of Silencing Whistleblowers
“This is a pattern where whistleblowers who disclose wrongdoing often face trumped-up charges…”

The White House is currently being pressed to look into Veteran’s Affairs eagerness to punish and silence whistleblowers, while failing to adequately discipline employees for endangering the health and safety of veterans.
For example, following a food services manager with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Philadelphia blowing the whistle on a fly infestation, he was reassigned to cleaning a morgue and they attempted to fire him for eating $5 worth of old sandwiches.
“This is a pattern where whistleblowers who disclose wrongdoing often face trumped-up charges but where employees who put vets’ health at risk or engage in misconduct that endangers vets are going unpunished,” Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner told the Washington Post. “The bottom line is, you can’t discipline whistleblowers for coming forward but not discipline those who have done wrong.”
A senate hearing on VA whistleblowers set to take place on Tuesday will feature testimonies from Lerner as well as several whistleblowers.
One of the whistleblowers set to speak is Brandon Coleman, a decorated veteran from the VA Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.
During the course of one week in January 2013, five suicidal veterans left their emergency room without receiving any help. When Coleman reported the alarming information to his supervisor, he was suspended from his job.
“The lack of accountability in these cases stands in stark contrast to disciplinary actions taken against VA whistleblowers,” Lerner said in a letter to the White House. “The VA has attempted to fire or suspend whistleblowers for minor indiscretions, and often for activity directly related to the employee’s whistleblowing. While OSC has worked with VA headquarters to rescind the disciplinary actions in these cases, the severity of the initial punishments chills other employees from stepping forward to report concerns.”
The VA told the Washington Post in a statement that they are committed to creating a work environment where employees feel safe sharing what they know, whether good or bad, without fear of reprisal.
