Advice for the Loyal Opposition


by Mark Steyn  Steyn on America  
"The object of Parliament," observed Winston Churchill at election time in 1951, "is to substitute argument for fisticuffs."
How's that holding up after November 8th? The object of at least a proportion of those on the streets is to substitute fisticuffs for argument, and indeed for Parliament: The less self-aware even chant "This is what democracy looks like!" - by which they mean not the election but the post-election riots and looting and assaults. Some among these self-proclaimed champions of women and immigrants wish to substitute rape for argument, a cause of such broad appeal that the ideological enforcers at the monopoly social-media cartels breezily permitted the hashtag "Rape Melania" to "trend" on Twitter.
The object of the food-delivery company Grubhub, meanwhile, is to substitute unemployment for argument. The CEO, Matt Maloney, wrote to all his employees advising any Trump voters among them to take a hike:
Please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here.
Ha! What a wimp. Why fire your political opponents when you can fire at them? Substituting assassination for argument, Matt Hartigan:
Getting a sniper rife and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the whitehouse that suits you motherf**ker. I'll find you.
Who's Matt Hartigan? Some unemployable lippy slacktivist with a master's in transgender and colonialism studies? No, he's President and CEO of a cool high-tech cyber-security company called PacketSled. The sled has now decided to move on without its lead dog.

APNewsBreak: US releases Haitians coming from Mexico


SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A surge in border crossings and a lack of immigration jail space have prompted the federal government to start releasing Haitian immigrants who have been entering the country in large numbers in recent months, backtracking on a pledge to jail the migrants.
A U.S. government official told The Associated Press that the decision to free Haitians arriving in Arizona and California is in response to a lack of jail space. The official said releasing immigrants with orders to report later to immigration court is a tactic used when detention space is scarce, under certain humanitarian conditions or as part of efforts to keep families together.
Before the Haitians are released, they are subjected to a criminal background and national security check. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on speaking on condition of anonymity. [Good luck with that!]

War On Cash Intensifies: Citibank To Stop Accepting Cash At Some Branches

 by Tyler Durden Nov 17, 2016 

Submitted by Simon Black via SovereignMan.com,
Less than a week after India’s surprise move to scrap its highest denomination cash notes, another front in the War on Cash has intensified down under in Australia.
Yesterday, banking giant UBS proposed that eliminating Australia’s $100 and $50 bills would be “good for the economy and good for the banks.”
(How convenient that a bank would propose something that’s good for banks!)
This isn’t the first time that the financial establishment has pushed for a cashless society in Australia (or anywhere else).
In September 2015, Australian bank Westpac published its “Cash Free Report”, suggesting that the country would become cashless by 2022.
In July 2016, Australian payments firm Tyro published an enormously self-serving blog post touting the benefits of a cashless society and saying, “it’s only a matter of time.”

The Answer to the Question is: TO HOLD UP THEIR DIAPERS

Now the posed answer to the Question:

Why people are posing with safety pins after the presidential election

By Jennifer Earl CBS News November 11, 2016

Days after Donald Trump was named president-elect, Americans are spreading a message of unity with a simple symbol: a silver safety pin.
The object may seem confusing to many in the U.S., but to those who lived in the United Kingdom during Brexit, it’s a sight they’re very much used to.
In June, millions voted for the U.K. to leave the European union, and to their surprise, they won -- with 52 percent of the vote. But while some celebrated, others were left shocked and afraid the break would cause a divide.
And they had a reason to be concerned.  ...

Tell me, Why are we subsidizing elite's super car again?

Being able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 sec. maybe cool, but Tesla should be able to make and sell these cars for the elite on its own, without a big lift from US taxpayers. The "Climate Change" Hoax has supported some nice toys for the rich. m/r

Tesla’s Future in Trump’s World

Elon Musk is up against a starkly different agenda, but the energy transition he invigorated can’t be stopped.

by   11-11-16

What will Donald Trump actually do?
It’s a question many Americans are asking themselves now that the U.S. has wrapped up one of its least policy-specific elections ever. The president-elect has offered only the loosest of legislative prescriptions, including whatever plans he may have for the energy industry.
The mystery hangs over turbine manufacturers like Vestas Wind Systems, which fell 12 percent since the election, and coal companies such as Peabody Energy Corp., which soared 73 percent. In his only major energy speech, Trump, 70, said he would rescind “job-destroying” environmental regulations within 100 days of taking office and revive U.S. coal. It’s terrible news for efforts to slow the pace of climate change, but the impact on the renewable energy revolution may be limited. Here’s what it could mean for America’s clean-energy darling, Tesla Motors Inc.: ...

NEW BALANCE Named Itself Appropriately


New York Mets Star Defends New Balance Against Anti-Trump Backlash

Curtis Granderson: 'If you like the shoes, buy the shoes'

BY:   November 16, 2016

New Balance has found a defender in New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson, who said that he will continue to wear the company’s shoes no matter what its executives say.
New Balance has faced a wave of outrage after an executive voiced his opinion that things would “move in the right direction” under President Donald Trump given his position on trade deals—a position that was shared by both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
“The Obama administration turned a deaf ear to us and frankly with President-elect Trump we feel things are going to move in the right direction,” said Matt LeBretton, New Balance’s vice president of public affairs.
People began burning their New Balance shoes over the comment, but Granderson will continue to wear them.

Google’s Eric Schmidt Wore ‘Staff’ Badge at Hillary Clinton Election Night Party

Hacked memo revealed Schmidt was working directly with the Clinton campaign

BY:   November 16, 2016

Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, Inc., was spotted at Hillary Clinton’s “victory” party last Tuesday wearing a staff badge, according to a picture recently submitted to Politico.
Google came under fire earlier this year for allegedly altering search results to paint Hillary Clinton in a more favorable light than Donald Trump. Schmidt stated at the time that Google did not pick sides in the presidential race.
“We have not taken a position on the American election and nor do I expect us to,” Schmidt said at the time.
Despite this assurance, Schmidt provided funding to a tech startup called The Groundwork, one of the Clinton campaign’s biggest vendors.

Our most Divisive President Who Spent His Term Dividing US Now Warns About What He's Done

Just plain Hypocrisy. Obama again shows his contempt for the American people. m/r

Obama warns against ‘a crude sort of nationalism’ taking root in the U.S.


ATHENS — President Obama warned Tuesday that Americans and people around the world “are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism, or ethnic identity, or tribalism” taking root amid the populist movements that are gaining currency around the world.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras by his side, Obama refrained from criticizing President-elect Donald Trump directly as he discussed the impact of his electoral victory last week. But the president made it clear that he sees a dark side to the kind of populist movements Trump's campaign embodied — ideals that other conservative leaders are advocating in Europe and elsewhere.
