So he was protesting Milo's message by being violent and now he wants dialog.
Sorry asshat. If you get violent, it is within the rights of the assaulted to resist with lethal force. Stop blaming everyone else for not creating dialog first after you get your dumb ass perforated with metal while performing an illegal act. You should have switched the two actions, for then the one where you whistle through a new blowhole wouldn't have happened.
[Gateway Pundit] Obama’s friend, terrorist Bill Ayers is one of the people who helped organize the violent protests in Washington D.C. during the inauguration for President Donald Trump. Skipping down.
On the list of organizers for the violent protesters is terrorist Bill Ayers, Obama’s personal friend. Boy howdy, you just never would have guessed that one...
Below is a screenshot from the Refuse Fascism website, the that organized the violent event. Notice the name at the top of the list highlighted in yellow.

Uh huh.... just like you didn't mean to give oral gratification to Hillary voters.
Seems to be you are a bit of a coward, lady. Your mouth and ego write checks your body isn't willing to cash and you run away, delete tweets and back peddle as fast as you can once the bill comes due.
Please go back to Europe and stay there. We don't need or want your material girl stick, and that we are quick sick of, anymore.

Well, the Secret Service will have to examine all phone records, emails, and social media comments to see if there is a pattern there.
Threatening the President of the United States is a serious crime and a class E felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. Depending up what you do, you can be in deep doo doo to huge fines, and years of playing rock hockey in the Big Arena.

Unlikely that Madonna herself will do anything more than flap her labia. The risk is that she will inspire some nutjob 'progressive' to take action.
[DAILYCALLER] White House press secretary Sean Spicer gave the first question of his first press conference Monday to the New York Post instead of the Associated Press. Journalists subsequently bemoaned on Twitter that the Trump administration was shirking tradition.
It's President Trump. Be grateful he let the regulars in at all.
If the Washington Free Beacon gets the first question at the next presser we'll know it's a whole new world...
Fox has just hired Marie Harf. Can't we just call it even now ?

Now we know what is going to dominate the news cycle for the next 24 hrs.
Journalists subsequently bemoaned on Twitter that the Trump administration was shirking tradition. Traditionally Obama didn't do very many press conferences.

I wonder at the forum for this type of exchange.
No room required with internet access.
I can watch 5 of these information exchanges a day via webinars.

Congratulations, Mr. Ashraf. You're now officially a member of the Oppressive White Male Patriarchy. Stop by the desk to pick up your monogrammed polo shirt and membership card.
[al-Monitor] Twenty-five House Democrats unsuccessfully wrote to President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... earlier this month to urge him to end US support for the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... before Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... took over.
The Jan. 13 letter, led by habitual Yemen war critics Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and John Conyers, D-Mich., raises concerns that the United States is abetting "war crimes" by supporting Riyadh’s imprecise bombing campaign. It goes on to argue that the fight against the Iran-backed Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... rebels is doing little more than fueling terrorism.
"These Arclight airstrikes -- which have killed children, women, doctors, newlyweds and funeral mourners -- are likely war crimes," the letter states. "We respectfully ask you to do the right thing before you leave office and stop the US refueling of Coalition aircraft that strike civilian targets in Yemen."
News of the letter comes as the Trump administration signed off on its first Arclight airstrikes in Yemen, which are separate from the Saudi campaign and target different actors. Six al-Qaeda gunnies were reportedly killed Jan. 21 in a pair of US strikes in the Sawmaa region of al-Bayda province, while a local military instructor for al-Qaeda had been killed by a dronezap in the same province Jan. 20.
Trump himself has said little of substance about the war in Yemen, but is expected to support the Saudis against their regional foe, Iran -- as long as Riyadh pays up.
"Right now if you look at right now, we ... already defend Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , right now, we’re defending them. Every time there’s a problem we go in and defend," he told Fox News a year ago. "And frankly, as far as I’m concerned, that’s all fine."
Congressional concerns about the Saudi-led effort have been growing since it began in March 2015. More than 10,000 people, half of them civilians, have been killed since then, according to the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... .

President Donald Trump is setting himself up for a messy clash with the country’s 2.1 million federal employees as his administration quietly preps plans to cut the size of the government workforce. Totally unexpectedly Have you not noticed? 'Messy clashes' are DJT's forte. Bring it.
As one of his first acts Monday, Trump signed an executive order freezing most federal hiring. His team is also fine-tuning plans to shrink several agencies focused on domestic policy, according to sources close to the transition.
Now, the president is about to find out how much power these maligned workers have to slow or even short-circuit his agenda.
Disgruntled employees can leak information to Capitol Hill and the press, and prod inspectors general to probe political appointees. They can also use the tools of bureaucracy to slow or sandbag policy proposals -- moves that can overtly, or passive aggressively, unravel a White House’s best-laid plans. Do we have to guess what the author's political views are?
p.s. You're for a surprise xe.

If Congress passes a law removing unionization rights and certain civil service employee protections, those experienced corporate executives now heading agencies will know exactly what to do to root out the malingerers -- and they can guide their non-exec peers, as can the big boss.
That's the thing the maligned workers and disgruntled employees need to worry about. That Procter&Gamble CEO who did his best for President Obama at the VA can lay it ouf for them -- I'm sure he can tell them exactly what's needed.

Remember how they shut down National Parks and slow-walk passport applications when they didn't get the budget extensions in the past? Look for that but more-so. Government's not like a corporation, where the guy at the top can order something and fire people if they aren't done.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has become a national figure for progressivism, but in her home state, voters are unsure if she deserves to be re-elected in 2018.
A WBUR poll released on Monday found that only 44 percent of Massachusetts voters believed that Warren should be re-elected in 2018. A plurality, 46 percent, said that someone else deserved a chance.
Millennials were the group least supportive of Warren, despite being the most progressive. Only 30 percent of young voters felt that the Senator should be re-elected in 2018. By contrast, senior citizens were the strongest supporters of Warren with 51 percent saying she deserved to go back to Washington for a second term.
A third of Democrats and nearly half of independents also believed Warren didn’t deserve to be re-elected.
No Democrats have announced any intention of challenging Warren in a primary, but several Republicans including State Reps. Geoff Diehl and Daniel Winslow, as well as former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, are looking at a possible run in the Bay State.

If Curt can stop shooting himself in the foot and can defend his 37 Studios loan loss to the state of Rhode Island, he might have a shot. And I'd also ape Scott Brown's run against the odious Martha Coakley in 2010.
[NYPOST] Team Trump’s not wrong to think the media are gunning for it, as a bit of fake news from Politico on Steve Mnuchin, the president’s pick to run the Treasury, shows again.
The story’s headline told the horrible tale: "Steven Mnuchin’s OneWest filed to take a 90-year-old woman’s house after a 27-cent payment error." It was picked up by the Huffington Post, CNN, Vanity Fair and others, and got thrown at Mnuchin during his confirmation hearings last week.
That prompted the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Ted Frank to do some basic fact-checking. He says it took all of four minutes to prove it bogus.
The Mnuchin-founded OneWest did file for foreclosure in November 2014 -- but dropped the suit once it learned Ossie Lofton had just bungled some paperwork, and did legally qualify for the mortgage.
Then CIT Group bought out OneWest, which ceased to exist -- and lawyers for a third-party mortgage servicer stupidly filed suit after she made the 27-cent error. That case got tossed as soon as her lawyers pointed out the facts; the only question now is how much she’ll be paid for her troubles.
OneWest and Mnuchin had nothing to do with the headline horror -- and the widow will come out just fine.

If it wasn't for fake news, we wouldn't have no news at all.
Actually it looks like the other way around. Artsy-farts libs -- The sculptor, shepherd and weaver had moved from Minnesota’s Twin Cities because she found this area’s rolling hills bucolic and welcoming, just like the French aristocracy kept cows during the brief milkmaid fad before they lost their heads. They leave the grime and crime and corruption and still keep voting the same way so the grime, crime, and corruption will follow them like a plague at their heels... [POLITICO] As Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... takes the oath of office--a phrase that still has the power to make those on the left shudder in shock--an easy way to process the election is that people in rural areas all over America loathe Washington and New York and the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... and Hollywood and finally had a chance to show it in a big way. But Pepin County is one of those rural areas, and the resentment isn’t just directed at the coasts. It’s local. Here, the urban elite isn’t a faceless, distant other: It’s the enclave of liberal, mostly Twin Cities newcomers who have moved here over the past few decades--not just an abstract political imposition, but an actual physical presence. It has spawned anger and bitterness, a simmering undercurrent of alienation among many people locally born and raised. It has made "Democrat" mean something it didn’t mean a generation ago. And it was made manifest on November 8.
Pepin County represents not only the most compelling reasons Trump won but also the reasons so many liberals were so surprised. If more people from more places had been talking to the people of Pepin County--and if the people of Pepin County had been talking more to one another--the notion of a Trump victory wouldn’t have seemed farfetched in the least. But my interviews, with Democrats and Republicans alike, started to feel to me like listening to disconnected halves of conversations that had never occurred. And still weren’t.
"We have found a whole community here," said Pat Carlson, Wally Zick’s wife, "of very like-minded--it’s going to sound elite--but bookish, artsy, I’d say compassionate ... organic foodies, the whole nine yards. It’s all transplants. It’s mostly liberals." As for this election, and the locals, she continued, "I think they thought the liberal elite was looking down on them, and I guess, in some ways, we were. Because we couldn’t believe anybody would vote for Trump."
Zick described a fault line here between the old and the new, the people who have lived in the county forever and the move-ins from over the Minnesota border, clustered primarily on the southwestern end of the county. "They don’t come here," Zick said. "We don’t go there."
"We don’t know them," Carlson, 72, said.

And it’s a struggle. You have to continue to interact with people, and you have to wonder: Do you really have hate in your heart in this way? Really?
You dope. You fell for the media line, hook, line, and sinker. Your neighbors are still the same people they were before the election. Maybe some hated your intrusion into their lives, but probably most didn't care, and I am willing to bet none of them are "haters" of liberals, or progressives, or immigrants, or even people of color. They just want to get on with life, without being bothered.
Rethink your worldview, honey, or get a farm just outside of Portland, Oregon.

Citizen of the world sees but never meets the natives. Colonist is probably a good term for the new comers. Like those white government appointees over the browns and blacks in the old colonies.

A lot of farmers in Pepin County come from longstanding Democratic families. But over time, the party has come to represent a way of seeing America with which people here have trouble identifying.
The authors of this long piece seem to stumble right over the heart of the true conflict. The Trump and Clinton campaigns were just the symptoms. It's not urban vs rural. Nor is it Democrat vs Republican. It's not even liberal vs conservative. In a word it's Progressivism. Though neither political party is immune it's just that the Liberal democrats are the most highly susceptible hosts to this virulent strain. Watch out, they've made no secret of their plans. They're coming to a local town near you. Bank on it!

Former porn star Jenna Jameson has attacked Bill Maher for criticizing President Trump over his infamous "grab them by the p****" remarks, claiming she saw Maher at the Playboy mansion and he "fits right in with us ’p**** grabbers'".
[ABCNEWS.GO] A Central Texas sheriff's announcement her agency will be scaling back its cooperation with federal immigration agents has prompted Gov. Greg Abbott to say his office will be cutting funding for the county.
Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez announced last week she is scaling back the amount of aid her department provides federal immigration agents in detaining suspects who might be in the country illegally, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
Effective Feb. 1, sheriff's officials will honor so-called immigration holds or "detainers" placed by federal authorities only when a suspect is booked into the Travis County Jail on charges of capital murder, aggravated sexual assault and "continuous smuggling of persons."
Otherwise, federal agents must have a court order or arrest warrant signed by a judge for the jail to continue housing a person whose immigration status is in question.
Hernandez's announcement came as Texas Republicans are gearing up for a new fight to ban so-called sanctuary cities in the current legislative session.
In response to Hernandez, Abbott tweeted his office "will cut funding for Travis County adopting sanctuary policies."
"Stiffer penalties coming," Abbott's tweet said.
Abbott has pushed the issue to the front of his unofficial agenda for 2017, pledging in interviews and on social media to sign into law a "ban" on cities and local governments that are seen as protecting people in the U.S. illegally, with sanctions such as cutting state funding. Civil rights groups say the threat from the governor could lead to racial profiling.

Alternatively, she may be tired of paying for Fed housing out of her own budget.
[CBSNEWS] President Trump signed three executive memos on trade Monday morning -- one withdraws the U.S. from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), another reinstates the Mexico City Policy dealing with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and abortion access, and a third freezes federal workforce hiring.
Asked about the ethics lawsuit filed against him, Mr. Trump said only, "Without merit. Totally without merit."
TPP was an enormous trade deal that would have aligned the U.S. and 11 nations in the Asia-Pacific region including Japan, Australia, Vietnam, Canada and Mexico under an agreement that would have eliminated thousands of tariffs and streamlined regulations. The countries involved in the deal collectively conduct 40 percent of global trade.
"Everyone knows what that means, right? We’ve been talking about this for a long time," Mr. Trump said as he signed the order withdrawing the U.S. from the TPP. "Great thing for the American worker, what we just did."
As he signed the federal workforce hiring freeze, Mr. Trump noted that the military was exempted from the hiring freeze.
TPP also would have required ratification by Congress, and President B.O. had hoped to see it ratified before he left office.
The Mexico City Policy was originally announced by President Reagan in 1984 and required nongovernmental organizations to agree as a condition of receiving any federal funding that they "would neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."
Then-President Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... rescinded it in January 1993 upon taking office, and George W. Bush reinstated it when he took office. And then Barack Obama My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it... rescinded it again in 2009.
On Friday evening, President Trump signed one executive order that cancelled an FHA mortgage premium cut that helps low-income home buyers and another that waived provisions of the Affordable Care Act that impose a financial burden on states or individuals.

[CNBC] President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... told business leaders on Monday he believes he can cut regulations by 75 percent or "maybe more."
At the White House with 10 senior executives, he repeated his campaign pledges to roll back corporate rules, arguing that they have "gotten out of control." A White House front man did not immediately respond to a request to elaborate on which rules Trump will target or how the 75 percent was calculated.
"We're going to be cutting regulation massively," but the rules will be "just as protective of the people," Trump told news hounds at the meeting that included Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk and Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank.
Democrats and interest groups have expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... about Trump's plans to roll back B.O. regime environmental protections and pull out of the landmark Gay Paree climate accords, among other regulatory pledges.
In the wide-ranging statement Monday, Trump also reiterated campaign promises to cut taxes for businesses, saying he aims to get the business rate "down to anywhere from 15 to 20 percent" from the current 35 percent. He also said he wants to reward companies that manufacture in the U.S. and impose border taxes on products that American companies make abroad.

I guess some regulation has already been removed - bleach bottle labels no longer include the % active ingredient. I need a certain concentration for my sewage system and can't tell if the 8% I need is now called 'concentrated' or is the plain 'bleach' bottle.
#3
Glenmore,
Normally household bleach is 5% by weight.
The basic equation translated from metric is
V1 x C1 = V2 x C2, where
V1 is the volume of what you want to measure in gallons
C1 is concentration in decimal
V2 is volume of chlorine needed in gallons
C2 is concentration of cholorine 5% or 0.05 or 5x 10^-2.
Solve for the unknown and there ya go.

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.
