Drudge is reporting 94 million out of work in the U.S.. Was in Austin, Texas early part of this week. Never seen so many homeless all up and down the streets. Black and White homeless. Went into several retail establishments. Nothing but Latinos working in those places. Total discrimination.

#4, Jomoter, you should visit San Diego. Then, if you haven't seen enough yet, go to Los Angeles. And if that ain't enough, work your way up to San Francisco.

[PJMedia] Sometimes life imitates fiction. It may even mimic myth. Let's suppose someone had an array of sensitive email stores that were going to be the subject of an audit. This was known because someone in the auditing firm tipped them off.
In order to protect the organization(s) they first back up the array of email databases and put them on removable media. They could then sanitize the original databases, hypothetically, by removing inappropriate entries as "private" secure in the knowledge that all past deals and correspondence could be referenced by very careful and surreptitious consultations from the hidden archive.
No data will have been lost since the archive still exists, simply placed where it cannot be found. This archive can even be accessed at need by someone physically able to physically obtain it. There is no danger because the administrator is trustworthy.
But suppose the administrator lives with someone less trustworthy, but who is pitied. Therefore his presence is tolerated. This wretched creature observes the data being accessed but has no clue as to its import. Nevertheless his sly nature leads him to suspect it is something important owing to the secrecy with which it is consulted. So he watches silently with his curiosity piqued until one day the removable media is left unguarded, perhaps only for a few minutes.
He copies its contents in that instant onto his own computer, still oblivious to its significance. Then he forgets about it, returning only to look at its hefty mass in megabytes before returning to his obsessions. But outside his little word great forces are on the move seeking something that he in his ignorance, has. They never think to look in his cave. There it lies, unremarked in his pocket until one day a stranger stumbles across it seeking something unrelated.
What is this? he is asked. But the wretch doesn't know. It just something I found, not as interesting as these pictures. He tells irrelevant riddles.
What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees Up, up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?
But the stranger who has come upon him in the dark realizes it's more than a bauble and takes it. It is strangely heavy and glowing. The election of 2016 has so far been a series of improbable events. Now in the homestretch of the campaign a series of improbable events has turned the political odds around. Pundits have look mostly in vain for a explanation to all of it. Suppose there is none? Suppose that G*d moves in mysterious ways: using a disgusting creature like Anthony Weiner to save the World is no stranger than using a horrible creature like Lavrenti Beria to save Soviet Jews.
But I digress. Ignore the gnashing of partisan hacks in the media and elsewhere. We have achieved full constitutional crisis. Hillary Clinton, Democrat candidate for POTUS, and her husband and former POTUS, are now under criminal investigation with indictments very, very likely.
Who in this country wants their new President-elect and a former President under indictment come January 2017 when the new president is supposed to be sworn in?
Who in this country wants to have Nixon to the second power, with two members of our elite POTUS club spending their time and energy fighting off the FBI and using a politicized Department of Justice (and IRS) to try and hold onto power?
Who in this country wants 4 years where nothing is done for We The People, and every avenue of government is focused on protecting The Clinton Foundation and pay-for-play??

We had a potential crisis like this back in 1960 Nixon-Kennedy election: There was plenty of evidence of fraud that gave JFK the win but Nixon chose not to contest it, for the good of the Republic, or so he thought.

Soon to be over and likely forgotten. Without a grand jury being empaneled, it's all a kabuki dance. We have now witnessed the death of the rule of law. A 'one party' system appears inevitable. Even with a Trump win, recovery will be virtually impossible.
The demographics are rapidly pushing this nation toward a post-sovereign, bankrupt, unincorporated reality. Pols and Washington insiders clearly see it and are jockeying for positions. The rest of us (the irredeemable deplorables) are little more than bitterenders stuck on post-war nostalgia. Demographics do matter.
Elsewhere:
In the end, the treacherous Kissinger felt sorry for Smith, a man he deeply respected. Compromise with the communists was set and the die had been cast. Majority Rule would bring about peace and an end to the constant conflict and bloodshed. Mugabe could be dealt with through bribes and natural resource peddling. The privileged few would suffer, but a leveling of the economic playing field could finally be achieved. The builders of the nation would have to eventually move elsewhere. Kissinger and the globalists would in the end, prevail.

You know Besoeker, I felt exactly like this in 1990es: "Camp David would be the end of Israel". And now look who's ending - they can't even feed themselves.

Thanks To The Clintons, We Have Achieved A Full Blown Constitutional Crisis
They're just a symptom. When SCOTUS has to address who gets to use the boys and girls bathroom, it's already down the tank. The aristocracy judiciary that sits for life and is unaccountable to the people, long ago started the long march to the centralization of power and central management of everyday aspects of life when they trashed the 10th Amendment in the name of 'social justice'.
Yes indeed, little more than a visible manifestation. If you think otherwise, examine their rather large following. Spare me the trouble of looking for the Kabuki dance graphic. I fear everyone is sick of it anyway.

Well, actually, SCOTUS doesn't need to address it. The fact that POTUS and his partisans think it needs deciding, and they have enough clout to get it on the docket is the real problem

[Jpost] ...After eight years of Barack Obama’s White House, America is a different place than it was in 2008, when Obama ran on a platform of hope and change.
Americans today are angry, scared, divided and cynical.
The outcome of this presidential election will determine whether Obama’s fundamental transformation of America will become a done deal. If Clinton prevails, the Obama revolution will be irreversible. IMO, if Clinton prevails, we'll be posting "miss me yet" with Obama's kisser
...But for his supporters, who Trump is, is less important than what he represents. And what he represents is the voters’ rebellion against the American establishment ‐ not just the political establishment, but the full spectrum of the American elite. From Washington to Wall Street, from college campuses to the media, tens of millions of Americans believe that their establishment is rotten to the core. And they support Trump because he is running against the establishment.
Popular resentment and animosity towards the powers that be was enough to win Trump the Republican nomination. And as he closes the gap with Clinton in the lead up to Tuesday, chances are rising that it will be enough to get him into the White House as well.
...Since Obama entered office he has used the powers of his office to seize powers no president had ever dared to claim. And Republicans ‐ who bore the brunt of the damage his policies caused ‐ expected their presidential nominees and congressional representatives to protect them. They expected them to curb Obama’s perceived abuses at the IRS, the EPA, at the border with Mexico, the Justice Department, in the healthcare industry, the military, the State Department and beyond.
In both the 2008 and 2012 elections, millions of Republican voters were appalled by their successive nominees’ refusal to go on the offensive against Obama. In 2008, Sen. John McCain refused to mention Obama’s deep and longstanding ties with radical political and social forces, including his decades’ long relationship with his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who regularly preached hatred for America from his pulpit.
In 2012, Mitt Romney simply choked. He couldn’t make a competent case against Obama or withstand media criticism, that as the Republican nominee he should have expected.
Indeed, in both cases, Republican voters walked away from their party’s defeat with the sense that their candidates care more about what media said about them than they cared about winning.
Republican voters took an even dimmer view of their congressional leadership. In both the 2010 and 2014 congressional elections, Republicans won majorities in both houses of Congress. The voters’ clear wish was for the Republican lawmakers to check Obama. But instead, the Republican leadership lashed out at their own voters while failing time after time to check Obama’s perceived abuse of power.
...Trump was elected to be the Republican presidential nominee because Trump is the opposite of McCain, Romney and their counterparts in the GOP’s congressional leadership ranks. Trump isn’t merely running against Democrats and the liberal establishment. He is running against the Republican establishment as well. And his supporters love him for it.
...According to one analysis. 91 percent of the media coverage of Trump’s campaign has been negative.
But the negative press has only strengthened his supporters’ conviction that he is the man of the hour.
A poll taken by USA Today earlier this week makes the point clear. The poll asked likely voters, "What do you think is the primary threat that might try to change the election results?" For months, the Clinton campaign has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is interfering in the election on Trump’s behalf. Yet a mere 10 percent of voters polled said that "foreign interests such as Russian hackers," would try to steal the elections.
On the other hand, 46 percent said the news media would. Another 21 percent said "the national political establishment" was intervening in the elections to shift the vote in the direction they wish.
In other words, 67 percent of voters believe that the establishment Trump is running against is trying to steal the elections.
...The renewed investigations against Clinton are not driving her voters away from her. As Clinton herself argued hours after Comey’s decision became public, her supporters have already factored in her legal difficulties. Trump is rising because with every new report of Clinton’s alleged corruption, Republican and Independent voters are reminded of how corrupt the establishment has become.
Their view of the lesser of two evils is shifting.
By Wednesday we will know whether the Republicans and Independents who are now accepting Trump will be enough to put him over the top. But what is clear enough today is that the voters who reject the establishment and view it as incurably corrupt will give Clinton no quarter if she manages to eke out a victory. At the same time, the establishment’s hatred of Trump will foment Washington battles the likes of which we have never seen, if he wins on Tuesday.
There is a lot hanging in the balance in this election.
But only one question will determine the outcome.
If Trump wins on Tuesday, it will be the establishment he defeats. Me, I remember Pym Fortyne

Mia Love needs to become a Governor and get some Executive experience so she'll be positioned for 2024. Let the Democrats go against a black woman and see what happens to their coalition.
#6
Let the Democrats go against a black woman and see what happens to their coalition.
They'll announce she's not really black or properly female, and that will be the end of it. Look what they did to Clarence Thomas, among many, many others.
And no, she's serious. Caught via AOSHQ which rips it to shred in short order. "About the Author: Chimamanda Adichie is the author of Americanah and, most recently, We Should All Be Feminists." Surprised?
We do not see, often enough, the people who love Hillary Clinton, who support her because of her qualifications rather than because of her unqualified opponent, who empathize with her. Yet millions of Americans, women and men, love her intelligence, her industriousness, her grit; they feel loyal to her, they will vote with enthusiasm for her. whether they're alive or dead Especially dead.
Human beings change as they grow, but a person's history speaks to who she is. There are millions who admire the tapestry of Hillary Clinton's past: the first-ever student commencement speaker at Wellesley speaking boldly about making the impossible possible, the Yale law student interested in the rights of migrant farmworkers, the lawyer working with the Children's Defense Fund, the first lady trying to make health care accessible for all Americans.
There are people who love how cleanly she slices through policy layers, how thoroughly she digests the small print but can't remember anything under oath. They remember that she won two terms to the United States Senate, where she was not only well-regarded but was known to purchase get along with Republicans. They have confidence in her. There are people who rage at the media on her behalf, who see the coverage she too often receives as unfair. There are people who in a quiet, human way wish her well. There are people who, when Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman to be president of the United States, will weep from joy.
Hillary Clinton was guilty immediately when she stepped into the view of the American public as the first lady of Arkansas. Her predecessor wasn't, but she was.
She was a lawyer full of dreams. She had made sacrifices for the man she loved, waived her plans, and moved to his state. But she also dared to think herself her husband's equal, to assume herself competent enough to take on expanding access to healthcare and reforming the Arkansas public education system. She was guilty of not being a traditional first lady. She offended the old patriarchal order. The conservative media loathed her There's more if you dare...

"These Ivy Leaguers full of dreams
Of get-rich-quick and deeper schemes,
If loved enough," laughs Chimamanda,
Will fuck us like they did Rwanda."
She is widely loved because the Obama coalition is still intact.
It consists of:
1. NPR-listening pseudointellectual SJW social anarchists
2. Public employee/welfare recipient thugs who value their magic checks more than the businesses, liberties, and lives of their private sector neighbors
3. Owners of/employees of rent-seeking businesses in industries like the law profession, lobbying, and regulatory compliance that depend on government regulation for demand for their services
4. Owners of/employees of a few large industries like IT, education, entertainment, and banking/finance/investment houses which have bribed Democrats and RINOs for indulgences from the regulatory leviathan.
Add to this a new twist - women who want another woman put into a position of power where she can tell men what to do and then harm or kill them if they don't comply, and enjoy that vicariously.
Believe otherwise at your peril.

What they don't comprehend is that for it all to collapse is for the despised male to just stand by and not infer with those outside who would do us serious harm. "Aren't you going to save us?", No. "But you'll be harmed too", no more than what you have already done to us and by any record in the book, will more likely recover something rather than the nothing you offer us.

Same kind of people who stood at the train station in Germany with "Welcome" signs for so called "refugees". They simply don't care what the results are - they believe they will never have to pay the price and dont care that others will - as long as they can feel good about themselves for appearing compassionate and loving. Like Soros they would gladly feed their neighbors to the monster as long as they can take what they want from the remains -even if it's only a temporary feeling of "I did good, I fed the poor thing.".
They are pathetic, but very dangerous in large numbers. And we have them in very large numbers indeed.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
