  1. You left out black unemployment, which has nearly doubled since your boy took office. And thankfully it will go up by one more January 20th. But realistically it would have been hard for those other numbers not to have gone up after what the globalist GWB did to the country. And I suspect that you picked the few good numbers you could and that black unemployment wasn't the only bad number.

    If you ban killer robots only George Soros and Hillary will have killer robots. (Well, maybe some other evil nut jobs too).

    Foreign influence is only good when foreign governments (even Russia and some others that would be considered our enemies) are giving money to the Clinton Foundation to support Hillery and buy influence with her, not when they in any way might act against her.

    So Obama has not done enough harm yet to the U.S. between Obamacare and the massive importing of Illegals and the massive freeing of criminals and the invasive government actions and all the rest, now as he leaves he wants to start a war with Russia over imagined unsupported fake news Russian hacking (when even Julian Assange has taken the extra step of outright saying that Russia nor Russian actors were the source of the Wikileak files). That man really hates this country and its citizens.

    is to have a buffer, and not live "paycheck to paycheck" so to speak. I don't understand why people find it so hard to understand.

    Maybe it is because some of us have actually looked at the numbers and are hard pressed to understand where the money is going and has already gone. The money on hand keeps building and the costs just don't seem to justify this much fund raising, let alone continued fund raising after the stated goal is reached. But yes, I do understand if you don't look at the numbers and don't do the math how you could think that way.

    At their current hosting prices they have enough money to host the site for 50 years, or indefinitely if they just invest the money already donated and pay for the hosting out of interest. Authors receive nothing. But Jimmy still wants more money.

    "We understand that there is a debate over whether or not we need a testing permit to launch self-driving Ubers in San Francisco,"

    I understand that there is a debate over the legitimacy of my ordering an Uber car and then completely dismantling it when it arrives. I have looked at this issue very carefully and believe t is in my best interest to dismantle and scrap as many Uber vehicles as I can. Do you expect to get any support from the state of California in any disagreement you might have with me over this, Uber?

    While I understand that Club Fed is much nicer than the local state institutions, in what way would what I suggest be a federal crime? Remember:

    as much electricity annually as it takes to power all San Francisco's homes

    So what you're saying is that we could avoid all of this if we just cut off all SF homes from the grid? Has anyone considered this option as an alternative? I never liked those people anyway. And they seem to be exactly the kind of people who are against the free market and are likely behind this. It would serve them right to have them do without electricity.

  10. Oh boy. I can't wait to start hacking other vehicles to order them to get out of my way. A nice side benefit to this is that eventually (and likely sooner rather than later) there will be a lot less vehicles on the roads.

If your a high performer with the N.S.A., please consider applying with us. I could post a link, but if you don't already know where to apply then you're not the person we are looking for.

    Subsidies just drive up prices. What we need is to do away with insurance completely, make people pay for their own health care. Then you'll see how people start actually looking at their bills and questioning prices. When that happens there will be an end to hospitals charging $100 an aspirin and the other medical nonsense that we have now.

    Crybaby liberal. Actually, it is no surer than the HRC coronation was. My first thought on reading this was "Obamacare, direct cause and effect" (was just talking to another friend who lost his family doctor to the "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" lie). There are things in Obamacare that could explain the drop. Trump could drive the numbers back up.

  22. Authorities have said only drivers with odd-numbered registration plates can drive in the capital region on Wednesday. ....

    Great System. Rich self entitled bastards with multiple cars get to drive whenever they want, working stiffs trying to get to their jobs have another burden. Also, if people have multiple vehicles and one is a small relatively clean and efficient vehicle and the other is a large dirty low mileage vehicle, this law tells them to drive the dirty inefficient vehicle some of the time.

  23. After Criticism on Google Is Removing 'In the News' Section From Desktop Search After Criticism (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I often used the NEWS link in Google search to filter out the results I got back on a search to current item of interest. For example, if I'm concerned about a particular recent earthquake I use the NEWS link to focus my search result to just recent news rather than encyclopedia like entries about earthquakes in general. It sucks if Google is removing this feature, and it sucks even more if it is being done because of "Criticism". And all this while fake news sites like CNN and the New York Times and the Washington Post continue to operate.
