Peaceful? Have you seen the protesters at Trump rallies? They're violent thugs. Some are PAID to be there to make Trump look bad.

Ms. Holmes said in a statement: "We will return our undivided attention to our miniLab platform. Our ultimate goal is to commercialize miniaturized, automated laboratories capable of small-volume sample testing, with an emphasis on vulnerable patient populations, including oncology, pediatrics, and intensive care."

What the fuck is Holmes still CEO? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... http://www.vanityfair.com/news...

What the fuck is wrong with investors? Well like you and me we have no say what we "invest" in. Instead banks and insurance fund managers decide for us. It's not their money. They don't care. You probably have some of your savings indirectly invested in Teranos and don't even know it, and even if you do too much work to withdraw it and transfer it to an equally incompetent fund across the street. So this shit keeps happening.

Actually it appears someone is already using the NSA and its TOOLs for the Benefit of Hillary's Troll Army Brigade, I wonder who these people are? ??

I'm having a lot of trouble believing any of that, when there's numerous articles on "sanctuary cities" (where's the alien-harboring charge for those mayors/governors, huh?).

Here are some other links that would dispute what you claim:

Poor illegal immigrants get food stamps denied to poor U.S. citizens, $2 billion worth
Illegal immigrants tell San Diego border agents that Obama said it was OK to come
Lawless immigration policies of the Obama administration
DHS quietly moving and releasing vanloads of illegal aliens away from the border

So if he catches the little sub-human piece of filth that tries this, and beats them half to death, I guess we can say the same thing: "they got what they deserved", "consequences for their actions", and all that, right? Or would you be crying in a fit of hypocrisy, claiming they're the victim?

This thread is just more evidence of the lefties being violent, non-thinking thugs. Last time commies like this got into power, there was a holocaust. If she gets her (really her puppet-masters') way, it'll be war with Russia.

Some gravy on top: here's a corrupt little democrap who was caught committing election fraud since the Clinton campaign apparently can't win an honest election.

The Hillary compaign: lie, cheat, steal, defraud. If confronted: Lie some more, buy off those in charge. Corruption is always the order of the day. It's pathologic.

Muslim and Arab are highly correlated, particularly in the minds of Islamaphobes.

You aren't offering any evidence about other people's minds. But Muslims and Arabs are distinctly different groups of people — your claim of there being a high correlation is false. With the most recent terror-attacks in the US perpetrated by Afghans, even the less educated among us know it.

The top three Muslim countries in the world — Indonesia, Pakistan, India — aren't Arabic at all. Plenty of Arabs are Christian and some are members of lesser-known religions.

Unlike Christianity, which, famously, "renders Caesar's to Caesar", Islam prescribes Theocracy as the only government order suitable to the faithful. The religion is inherently incompatible with the First Amendment.

With 51% of Muslims — of all races — already in the US favoring Sharia, an attempt to stop any further increases in their numbers may be reasonable. But even if it is not, the thought is not racist.

Do you believe the polls? Who runs the polls? Do they have a vested interest in misleading the public? Do you know that they've tweaked the polling methodology, but only once Trump started showing as leading?

Think about these things before granting a 3rd party credibility.

strange that you should mention Berlin or Munich, which are two of the nicest and most vibrant cities in Europe today.

I don't know what you mean with "vibrant". I mentioned the aesthetics. Alert me when you see something comparable to the Trevi Fountain in "vibrant" Munich.

I'm also sort-of an immigrant myself

Which explains why you're pro-EU (although many actual germans are, since they are the only europeans who have benefited from the membership), and maybe also why you have no problems with Turks flooding the country you're living in.

*Who's* national security is undermined?

Everyone's.

Really? Show me the OPLAN (Operations Plan) of a plausible scenario, with a Commander's Intent, Mission, Purpose, End State, and Scheme of Maneuver, where the Russian military would engage in a conventional attack against the continental US. Otherwise this statement is false. This is why I rank Woodrow Wilson as the worst US President of All Time: He really put into practice this idea that "Europe's problems are America's problems", and it's saturated the minds of Americans ever since.

However, if Russia has cause to believe that the USA will not honor its commitments to NATO, that could tempt Russia to try to "take back" one or more of the East European countries it lost after the cold war (similar to the way it "took back" part of the Ukraine in 2014).

The Russians are deeply pragmatic. What would they have to gain by annexing the Baltic states? The Russian minorities are small and their economies, while decently developed, are small in the aggregate. They can only expect unplanned 2nd and 3rd-order effects of an invasion, and probably a costly insurgency, not to mention souring their relationship with the rest of Europe. Europe is still their primary customer for natural gas exports. Even in the shoddy condition of their military in the late 90's/early 00's, there were no indications they were even *thinking* of such a course of action. It's only been the constant expansion of NATO right up to their border, combined with the US's deployment of Anti-Ballistic Missiles on their doorstep, that has led to a belligerent reaction.

Russia's nuclear arsenal is the primary tool for assuring national survival, and US attempts to undermine the MAD balance are rightly taken as an extreme national security threat. Obama won't even discuss the ABM issue with Putin. ( http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... ) The last time someone built a military alliance up to their Western doorstep, it cost the Russians 20 million+ lives to rectify the situation. Do you think they are willing to give us the benefit of the doubt and risk repeating such a nightmare? Re: Ukraine. Sevastopol is Russia's only warm-water port, which they had been leasing from Ukraine. It's a vital part of their national security strategy. Given the possibility of Ukraine slipping entirely into NATO/the EU, could they really risk hoping to maintain their base lease with a government totally hostile to them possibly in power? No. So they snatched up the whole peninsula, and with virtually-no casualties (theirs OR Ukrainian) in the process. The insurgency in the separatist eastern states is meant to a) keep some semblance of a buffer between Russia's official land border and the obviously-less-than-friendly NATO military alliance b) keep Ukraine as a whole unstable enough to make full NATO/EU integration unlikely, and a forward-deployment of NATO troops in the east even less so. It's entirely reactionary to the US's attempt to move Ukraine out of Russia's orbit (here's where Nuland affirms her quote about $5 billion spent in Ukraine "to promote democracy": http://iipdigital.usembassy.go... and here is her caught on tape playing kingmaker after the Maidan riots: https://youtu.be/r5n8UbJ8jsk ).

Russia was content with the status quo vis-a-vis Ukraine, for the most part. How would the US react if China quietly funded NGOs to "promote Communism" in Mexico, culminating in the Mexican government being overthrown and replaced with a single-party Communist state? How would the US react if the Chinese built anti-ballistic missiles in *Canada* to "protect against rogue Iranian warheads" (Note: this is the actual BS argument the US gav

More severely retarded politicians get into government and make their populations vulnerable by refusing to see blatant cause-effect relationships between a global terrorism movement and the ideology driving it. All across Europe and North America there are politicians so desperate to prove their own tolerance that they are rapidly importing into their societies people who despise the principles those societies were built upon. Then when the imported persons commiot violent acts, these same know-nothing elites lie their asses off about what happened and hide evidence, even denying basic facts after the public becomes aware.

Just look at the German government. They imported this stuff into Germany and on New Years as over a thousand German women were raped or molested by immigrants the Germena governemt exercised more effort covering it up than protecting its own people.

Look at France, where it has now been found that the French government hid the details of the tortures that happened at the Bataclan massacre.

Look at the Obama administration that tries to re-paint every Muslim terrorist attack as "gun violence", "man-caused disaster", "workplace violence" and so forth. This very same administration rushed to the nearest microphone to denounce any opponent as a racist or bigot (as long as he/she is NOT Muslim).

The truly voluntarily-menatlly-crippled are the ones that refuse to see the obvious connection between a belief system that teaches that anybody who disagrees must be subjugated or killed, that no man-made law is valid, that a woman is 1/2 or 1/4 the value of a man depending on if she is testifying in court or exercising any other right, etc. and the violent terrorism its adherents have been carrying out all over the globe. The idiots are the ones who have no solution as the bodies pile up like wood at a sawmill and who only get exercised when somebody points out that the emperor is naked (i.e. Islam is as its name indicates: a religion of SUBMISSION, not "peace") and that it has a centuries-long reputation for violent jihad pricisely because it's "prophet" specifically taugh and practised violent jihad. The complete horse posteriors are the people who would denounce somebody like Gingrich who ties cause to effect, who whine about how mean he is, or what a jerk he is, while having absolutely no solution to the problem of muslims who can, at any moment, decide to become serious Muslims and faithfully carry out the commands of their prophet to go on a killing spree.

The US Marine Corps was created by the Continental Congress in November 1775, even before the US was officially an independent nation. Marines are called "leathernecks" for a reason: they had leather collars on their uniforms to make it harder to behead them. They were originally sent into two struggles: (a) the fight against the British, and (b) the fight against the Barbary Pirates (Muslims who were taking American merchants as hostages) which is where the leather collars came into the story. The Marine Corps sing about the "shores of Tripoli" in memory of those early fights in Libya rescuing Americans from Muslim pirates.

The Christian Crusades started in response the the Islamic take-over of the Biblical Holy Lands and the subjugation of the Christians there and the sacking of Christian churches.

Islam has a demonstrated history of wave after wave of bloody massacres and violence ever since it was founded about 7 centuries after Christianity arose. History teaches that it

Yep. See other examples like this navy reservist.

Key points: FBI search of Nishimura's home turned up classified materials, but did not reveal evidence he intended to distribute them. He was sentenced to two years of probation and a $7,500 fine, and was ordered to surrender his security clearance. He is barred from seeking a future security clearance.

Or Petraeus who got 2 years probation along with a $100k fine. And that's just the tip of the iceburg for people who've been caught doing exactly the same thing as she did.

But you're right, defying Clinton is like defying the mob. Ask this guy who just happened to "crush his own throat" right before testifying. Then there are all those other mysterious deaths, and so many of those.

i never thought of petraeus' girlfriend as an email server, but OK.

Ask this guy who just happened to "crush his own throat" right before testifying. Then there are all those other mysterious deaths, and so many of those.

So a guy had a weird death shortly before testifying at his own trial for corruption, and he had a "connection" to Clinton because back during Bill Clinton's presidency he funnelled some illegal donations to the DNC .

Maybe he committed suicide (as people on trial sometimes do), or maybe he was murdered. Though if he was murdered you probably want to look at the corrupt billionaire who is on bail awaiting trial for the exact scheme this guy was on trial for.

So yeah, this is just like those other "mysterious deaths", an idiotic accusation containing blatant levels of dishonesty.

And I invite you to read about some up-to-date research showing that more guns = more crime.

US private citizens own something like half of all the small arms on the entire planet, with over 300 million weapons already and ~10 million weapons produced annually. (production numbers: https://www.shootingindustry.c... )

Yet we account for nowhere near half of the firearms-related deaths, and the US homicide rate is at a 50-year low: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...

If firearms and (violent) crime are positively correlated as you suggest, how do you account for MILLIONS of weapons being dumped into the population's hands every year yet murders decline?

Or are we going to say this was an act of Christian terrorism that was fortunately thwarted?

There doesn't seem to be anything tying him to Christianity, so why do yo claim that? He does appear to be progressive though.

The Latest: Chief: Armed Suspect Did Not Say He Meant Harm

The man in the Facebook page appears to be the same James Wesley Howell in a picture released by police, and the page includes several pictures of a white Acura sedan like the one Howell was arrested in on Sunday.

The page's most recent public post, from June 3, shows a photo comparing Adolf Hitler to Hillary Clinton. An anti-Clinton, pro-Bernie Sanders photo was posted in February.

That makes for an interesting tie-in to the Orlando shooter.

Orlando Shooting Suspect Identified As Omar Mateen, Registered Democrat Of Afghan Descent

I think we have the drift of your views regarding Christians. What are your views about Progressives involved in terrorism?

• He called 911 before the shooting to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State.
• In April, a speaker at an Orlando Mosque stated that all gays must die.
• He is a registered Democrat.
• Mateen worked as a security guard for G45, a company that moved illegal aliens around the country.
• Mateen had been interviewed several times by the FBI in relation to terrorist investigations.

Queue the left for appeasement of Islam while vilifying gun owners.

Well, he was a registered Democrat, so the blame has to lie elsewhere. Not saying that all Muslims are terrorists, nor that the reason he did this was because he was a Democrat. Just trying to point out how once again a mass shooting goes against the narrative that all of this is being done by Christian conservative NRA members...

You sure about that? $16m property selling for nearly $70m in just under an hour a few weeks ago is just an example. Last year a house in Toronto(under 600sqft) sold for $2m. The median wage is around $70k in Toronto, On., it's $67k in Vancouver, BC.

"I just came from a meeting, today, in the situation room, in which I’ve got people who we know have been on ISIL websites living here in the United States — US citizens. And we’re allowed to put them on the no fly list when it comes to airlines, ..."

Based on browser history - pardon? What the president just confirmed is that someone from the government is noting everyone's browsing history, determining which websites are not to be visited, and furthermore, if someone does visit the website for whatever reason they get put on a no fly list.

Sounds like you invested in them, financially if not emotionally. 10 secs of searching shows they're under federal investigation for fraud, and have themselves invalidated 2 years of tests basically admitting it was all bogus.

How do you know that today's prices aren'y medium, and that truly high prices are yet to come?
That's the great thing about the future, it has a habit of making fools of anyone.

Really want to know? This will help you out. You can also look up bulk goods and durable goods orders. Top that with it income not keeping pace to the housing prices, much like in years past you're in for a serious correction. That means that houses even down payments are pricing out people. Remember, when the housing bubble went in the US and Europe went, wages weren't keeping pace. After the crash happened, wages actually declined. Some economies(especially nordic) are in a deflationary spiral still from 2008.

I was going to hunt around and dig up the charts, but I can't be bothered right now because I'm too tired. But feel free to dig around ZH, and you'll find the peak vs mean numbers on housing prices are mirroring 2008. We're at the peak.

If you would inform yourself a little bit than you would find out that the EU did not so much pay Greece, but the banks who invested in Greece - that is, instead of having to cut their losses for a bad investment these banks and their investors (mostly French and German, btw.) got EU tax money. The scheme sounds familiar, doesn't it?

If things would have been done right, Greece would have defaulted in 2010.

Because Russia invading a sovereign country is perfectly acceptable because they weren't doing what Russia wanted them to do. Of course, pointing to another country doing something kind of the same excuses what Russia is doing, it is all perfectly acceptable to annex the territory of another country.

Great Powers do it all the time. I don't expect it to change. But I do aim to point out the hypocrisy and/or naivete of anyone who thinks the US's foreign policy has altruistic motives or that the "Other Guys" are inherently evil.

Yeah, screw those other countries, China has a huge population, so they should just be able to steal territory that they have no valid claim to.

Might makes right. Just ask any sovereign nation that's been subject to a US invasion. As an aside, note that no nuclear-armed state has suffered a regime change at US hands. And yet Americans are surprised when antagonists pursue nuclear arms? As for "stealing territory they have no valid claim to"....the validity of their claim stems from their ability to enforce their will. Hence the fortification of their man-made islands. Also note that the US has progressed to a uniquely insidious alternative to directly "stealing" territory: the Petrodollar system. But it requires constant enforcement by the US, and controlling/manipulating central banks, financial institutions, and the exchange of oil are all aspects of this enforcement.

2000: Saddam was planning to switch sales of Iraqi oil from dollars to Euros. Within 3 years he was deposed.
2009: Gaddafi was doing his best to reconcile with the West. Unfortunately for him, he also planned a gold-and-oil-backed Libyan currency. He was dead within 3 years of shaking Obama's hand. And the "rebels" sure were quick to set up a Central Bank (less than 2 months into the civil war).
2012: Iran was planning to sell oil in exchange for gold. Despite having them bracketed with bases in both Afghanistan and Iraq, the US military was in no position to invade. So Iran instead found themselves promptly disconnected from global financial institutions: http://www.reuters.com/article...
2014: Ukraine has a revolution....and suddenly all the gold is missing from their central bank. Now they are stuck with fiat currency and IMF obligations. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... Meanwhile, Russia and China are buying up gold like crazy ( http://www.mining.com/china-ru... ), and started their own alternative-IMF (the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank). Both have stated intentions to end the US's hegemonic influence. These are two nuclear-armed Great Powers that are closing the conventional military gap, and despite shaky economies, having been consistently moving to eliminate US dollar influence across their entire sphere of influence. Which, IMO, will eventually be a good thing for everyone, including the average (productive) American citizen.

Oh, let us ignore all the people Assad was murdering, and that a large percentage of the population wants him out of office.
