I think the reason why Bernie Sanders doesn't want to hear about the emails is that he wants to talk about his campaign issues.  Most all candidates are making personal attacks.  I think Bernie is different and prefers to talk about what make him different from her in terms of policy.


Movie: you have been accused of a heinous crime. You are in a court room. The prosecutor is pleading for lethal injection. Things are not looking good for you, but you have hope. Bernie is your lawyer, the prosecutor is clinton...

Do you believe, based on that exchange in the video, you would have a chance in hell escaping the needle?

Is Ted Cruz catching up with Trump?  It looked like Cruz gained ground on Trump after the Saturday elections.  Can he catch up?


The numbers that counts: 

Candidate    Delegates
Donald Trump    378 - establishment really scared of him, many endorsements from giants in the republican party
Ted Cruz    295 - establishment really, really hates him, zero endorsements from any giants, as far as I know
Marco Rubio    123 - 100% GOP establishment: the bush replacement by default
John Kasich    34 - meh



How the game is played, good enough explanation:

Mayor-Turned-Child-Sex Offender Arrested near School For 3rd Time







Former Pittsburg, California mayor Marcelino Vasquez — a convicted sex offender — was arrested outside a school last week for the third time in five months.

Pittsburg police Capt. Ron Raman stated that Vasquez was arrested near Marina Vista Elementary last week, according to the Contra Costa Times.

Vasquez was a rising political figure until 1972 ,when he was convicted for lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age. The Times reports that Vasquez served on the Pittsburg City Council and “took a turn as mayor” in the 1960s. After being caught for child molestation, his political career crashed.

The California sex offender database lists the date of last conviction for Vasquez as 1972; he was released in 1973. He is listed as a transient.

The former political figure has been charged repeatedly for violations related to his sex offender status, according to the Times. Charges include failing to register as a sex offender yearly with local law enforcement. Authorities indicated that he has been living in the East Contra Costa area and frequents a church near the school. However local school district officials say Vasquez has not actually come into contact with children during these occasions.

Vasquez was convicted for failing to register as a sex offender in 2013 and 2014. The Times stated that he received a 90-day sentence for each conviction. For the 2014 conviction, he also received probation, which ended in May 2015.

Court records referenced in the Times report show that Vasquez also had three drug-related convictions in the 1990s.

Bill Clinton's security was also apparently blocking access to the polling place so voters couldn't get in.  That's also illegal and maybe worse than campaigning illegally.  But you know they won't get in trouble for it.  It was barely even reported.

It doesn't matter whether he was there illegally or not. The thing is that the Democrat establishment will not nominate anyone other than Hitlery for the POTUS elections of 2016. So in the end Sanders is going to lose, no matter what happens during the primaries. Even if Sanders is able to secure a greater number of delegates when compared to Hitlery, the latter would still be the Democrat nominee.

Although I am pro Trump, this is disgraceful and blatantly corrupt.


This wasn't a fluke. It was by design from the get-go. All the democrats are sharing the blame. They never protested. They loved it. Can't turn the clinton machine off and cry to mummy now, unless it is mummy clinton... Yes, this is corruption, but the dnc was better prepared to create a firewall in case of a berning. People in the conservative side knew something was up years ago and lots and lots of people were very open and critical about it. Not the case with leftists, until bernie came and some saw an opportunity. Bernie had multiple occasions attacking the clinton machine, live on television. Instead he defended her:

"We're tired of hearing about Hillary's emails"
http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/bernie-sanders-were-tired-of-hearing-about-hillarys-emails/"...

Listen to her laughing at his face. What's going on here?

Do not feel sorry for them. They paid for it, knowing very well the crap sandwich they were buying. When I saw that video I knew bernie was nothing he claimed to be.

Cruz is down at 61%, while Rubio has achieved only 46% of the target. The scene will become clear by tomorrow, as the results from the four states will be declared.


Yes. It is amazing, while people thought TRUMP was playing catch up with megyn kelly, he was playing a 3 dimensional chess game with murdock...




I'm wondering what people may think of this bit of logic.

"If Trump can fearlessly take on the Republican Establishment, he is certainly qualified to take on our enemies in the world and to negoatiate with the world in our best interests."


They will think: President Donald J. TRUMP.

This is where things go south in your argument.  Pedophiles should be seen as potential predators and I don't think many people in this thread disagree with that, but they should also be seen as people that were born with a disorder to make them attracted to kids, and focus on all the possible alternatives you can give since you can't convict somebody on a thought crime.


@Yugo, I don't see what your issue is with To Catch a Predator at all.  I see it as the same as trying to bait out a potential rapist in a way that the show could show things to look out for.  The key is that you wouldn't appear on the show had you not attempted to commit a crime and been caught by the Cyber Watchdog group.  It's not just some random guy showing up at the house and getting on TV, they always have extensive chat logs showing the adult knew the victim was underage, many times sending them nude pictures in the chatting process.

Like it or not, honeypotting is a completely legal method of catching criminals as long as it doesn't cross the line to entrapment.  Also, we have shows like COPS that focus on potential criminals all the time and they are just going off a random call half the time.

Mr. Wall Street Throws in The Towel – Rupert Murdoch Exits U.S. Presidential Race…



Cautious optimism is warranted.  For those who are fully immersed in the weeds of the U.S. Presidential race there is new found optimism in seeing at least one of the key globalist influencers announce he’s throwing in the towel (outlined below).

A secondary smile can now cross the faces of those who hold a comprehensive understanding of how damaging the TPP trade deal would be to the U.S. worker.






Both optimistic outlooks present themselves today as we take –at face value– the retreat of Rupert Murdoch from attempting any further influence in the U.S. presidential race.

Those who have followed closely since the GOPe constructs in late 2013 will understand the profound significance for Mr. Wall Street, Rupert Murdoch, admitting the nomination prospects of candidate Donald Trump now seem inevitable.

Remember what we previously predicted would happen if/when the “inevitability threshold” was reached?

We might just be “there”.

Murdoch tweets after every debate.  Murdoch ALWAYS tweets after every one of his Fox News debates.  Today’s post debate messaging carries some increased attention against the backdrop of a previous report where Fox, via Roger Ailes, threw in the towel of support for Rubio; accepting non-viability and accepting, finally the lift was just too much.

However, before getting to Rupert, everyone should accept what exactly Fox is doing with Rubio now.   In essence, Fox has accepted their goals are no longer in alignment with the GOPe DC goals as they pertain to Marco Rubio.

Fox News always promoted Rubio as a viable candidate.  The GOPe DC community supported that endeavor because the promotion always benefited their real goal, which was never Rubio as the “ends“, but rather Rubio as the “means” to the end.

DC GOPe was then, and is now, using Rubio’s candidacy toward their objective of anointment for a palatable and pedigreed Republican.  Originally Rubio was to be the tool to get Jeb Bush nominated.  Now, under the modified GOPe objectives, Rubio is the tool to stop Donald Trump from getting nominated.

In his former role he was a high-minded professional politician thought to be the lift and vote splitter to get Jeb Florida’s 99 electoral votes.  In his new role, they don’t care about the image of Rubio, they only want him to get close enough to Trump so he can detonate his vulgar suicide vest and damage the frontrunner’s optics and electability.

An open Ohio GOP convention is now the goal, as openly admitted by Mitt Romney.  As a consequence John Kasich, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio’s media optics must be enhanced, but not toward the nomination per se’, only as useful blockers of Donald Trump.  The GOPe goal is to isolate, ridicule and marginalize Trump, damaging him enough to eliminate his electability.   Hence, the “Never Trump” campaign etc.

So began the first signals from Roger Ailes (story here), and now Rupert Murdoch, of a disparate interest in a specific candidate’s brand, namely Marco Rubio.   The GOPe and Fox News no longer in synergy.

Fox et al can no longer advocate for Rubio, while he has to make a jackass out of himself in his suicide mission.  Fox’s own brand image could be harmed as collateral damage amid the detonation.

Having said all of that, Murdoch now is in a position of accepting the GOPe political goal (to save their own graft in DC) is a desperate one-way mission to either survive or destroy itself trying.

And so the first message from Murdoch is interpreted:



Murdoch saying what is statistically valid and evidenced within the current primary results of Donald Trump.   Sure the GOPe talking heads and professional punditry which surround the Vichy Republican brand may not vote, but that elitist segment is far smaller than the vulgarian masses who recognize the value in a blue-collar billionaire.

Trump’s appeal to a very significant base of middle-class Americans, Reagan Democrats, Blue-Dogs, rank and file union members, as well as “common sense” conservatives, will mean a much larger group of Democrats will cross over to support him, than the elitist coalition who will stay home in protest.

Which leads directly into Murdoch’s second point:




Remember, they don’t call Rupert Murdoch “Mr. Wall Street” because he is inaccurate in predicting markets.  Exactly the opposite.  He’s called Mr. Wall Street because he has tentacles intertwined in global finance and knows exactly when to make a move.

He’s a statistician.  A global finance and media statistician who uses massive amount of insider data to make business decisions.

What Murdoch is highlighting here is exactly what we, through Nick H, have previously presented.  Old political electoral models which are based on left/right politics don’t work when the person campaigning is represented by the ” / “ part.

Donald Trump is running up the populist “America-First” center of the political continuum.  That’s why he’s drawing in massive interest, massive crowds, massive debate audiences, and gobsmackingly YUGE primary turnout results.




Trump has center-left, and center-right “fiscal conservative”/”social moderates” as his base of support.

Murdoch tells Nate Silver to reset his paradigm to reflect this reality.  It means building entirely new statistical models.  [*SITE NOTE* Nick H is working on updated stats right now to reflect the turnout of Super Tuesday.  Remember, Nick accurately predicted 1.3 million GOP voters in Georgia using his formulas.]

So where does all of this leave Mr. Murdoch?




G’day and Good bye.!




Just a Reminder, this is an insurgency. – The modern enemy of Wall Street is Main Street vulgarians. The enemy of the RNC/GOPe is not Democrats, it’s Grassroots Conservatives, more vulgarians.

Mitt Romney thinks climate change is one of the nation’s greatest challenges

MARCH 4, 2016

And we’re supposed to listen to his warnings about Donald Trump? Romney thinks human activity contributes to global warming. He thinks it is urgent that global action be taken to solve this non-problem. He cites climate change as one of those issues that political leaders in Washington are failing to address.

And we’re supposed to listen to his warnings about Donald Trump? “I’m one of those Republicans who thinks we are getting warmer and that we contribute to that,”  said Romney at an investment management conference in Utah, the Associated Press reported.

In his 2010 book, No Apology, he wrote of this belief and added that he was “uncertain how much of the warming, however, is attributable to man and how much is attributable to factors out of control.”

The Donald is not alone in his skepticism. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are also climate-change skeptics. “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it,” Rubio said in an ABC News interview last year. As to Cruz, he told CNN last year:  “The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that …  they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened.”

Words are free and people like reality TV. Any politician who can whip up crowds, through whatever means necessary is successful at the first step. The second step is where you really distinguish the cutthroats, those who cross the line and are happy to alienate anyone who isn't Mr. Bog Standard American Joe. They know the core swing vote is still heavily populated, albeit diminishing, amount of white middle class voters. Hillary Clinton, for all her misdeeds, seems to be leading the polls for the Democrats (from a very distant, unknowledgeable & foreign observer). It will be a close race, just wish there were more democractic parties involved as I only ever hear about two or a radical offshoot like the Tea Party.

The republicans have candidates. The democrats have a queen. Of course she's leading.

A feminist glaciology



Many readers will be familiar with the famous Sokal hoax paper, in which physicist Alan Sokal wrote a nonsensical article on the “hermeneutics of quantum gravity” and got it published in a sociology journal. Other more recent examples of accepted papers include a completely computer-generated mathematics paper and a repeated request to be removed from a mailing list.

Now it seems that climate science has fallen for a similar joke paper. The journal Progress in Human Geography (impact factor 5, which is quite high) has published an article Glaciers, gender, and science: A feminist glaciology framework for global environmental change research.

Excerpts below are taken from just the first 3 pages of this 24-page masterpiece, plus a final quote from the conclusions.

“Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers – particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied.”

“Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.”

“A critical but overlooked aspect of the human dimensions of glaciers and global change research is the relationship between gender and glaciers.”

“Through a review and synthesis of a multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging literature on human-ice relations, this paper proposes a feminist glaciology framework to analyze human-glacier dynamics, glacier narratives and discourse, and claims to credibility and authority of glaciological knowledge through the lens of feminist studies.”

“A combination of feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology provide the intellectual foundation for feminist glaciology.”

“Feminist glaciology is rooted in, and combines, both feminist science studies and postcolonial science studies to meaningfully shift present-day glacier and ice sciences.”

“The response to simplistic ‘ice is just ice’ discourse is not merely to foreground or single out women and their experiences – that would simply perpetuate binaries and boundaries and ignore deeper foundations. Rather, it is a larger integration of human approaches and sensibilities with the existing dominant physical sciences. Global environmental change research must pluralize its ontologies, epistemologies, and sensibilities.”
