    Kamala Harris Admits To Being Discriminatory

    I'm certainly no fan of Kamala Harris, but I think she is simply stating the truth in this case.

    Primaries vs smoke-filled rooms

    It's also possible that because of the modern primary system, centrist candidates and those who differ from the "bulk" of their party (liberal Republicans, conservative Democrats) do poorly in primaries for the reasons I gave above. So they gradually disappear from their parties. In other...

    Primaries vs smoke-filled rooms

    I've been saying this for some time. Another way of framing it is to say that primaries are usually low turnout, and dominated by more motivated voters. As a result, a candidate has to appeal to more extreme voters to win the primaries, and then triangulate back to the center to win the general...

    Ryan Routh found guilty in Trump golf course assassination attempt

    I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure that most of these murderers (or attempted murderers) of political figures have some kind of delusional mental disorder. In such a case, trying to ascribe a partisan motive for what they do (which both "sides" have done on this thread and other threads)...

    Ted Cruz compares FCC Chair Carr to Mafia boss over Jimmy Kimmel

    You've mentioned the bolded part a couple of times. Is there some documentation of these conversations between Kimmel and his employer? Because it makes some difference. Still, Cruz is right. Carr's comments were over-reach. As sickened as any of us might be by the glee with which some people...

    Free Speech being attacked by Trump and it is losing the battle

    So threatening to punish private organizations is "caring about the Constitution"?

    ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

    Sure they do. Pretty much agree with the rest.

    Trump on Fox News: "We won in 2020 big." Do you think its true?

    No, it's not true.

    Body of 21 year-old black Mississippi college student found hanging from a tree

    The only alternatives are "jumping to conclusions" and not giving a shit? No, there's at least one other reasonable reaction. Don't know for sure what happened, hope the investigation uncovers it if there was any foul play.

    ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

    No, that's not correct. https://www.usa.gov/wrongful-termination

    ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

    That's simply untrue. People murder for all kinds of reasons, political causes included.

    ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

    There's no basis for a lawsuit against Disney. Kimmel was an employee, now he's not. The 1st Amendment applies to government.

    Body of 21 year-old black Mississippi college student found hanging from a tree

    This is a sad thing, under any circumstances. If there is any indication of foul play, I hope the perpetrators receive quick and severe punishment. We'll see. So far there's reportedly no indication of foul play. Just vultures circling.

    ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

    What Kimmel said was, in my estimation, stupid and certainly unfunny. But it is grossly inappropriate for the FCC to have taken any position on it. Much less to threaten to pressure ABC affiliates. Most (though not all) of the disgusting reactions to Kirk's murder fall into the realm of...

    (CNBC) Fed approves quarter-point interest rate cut and sees two more coming this year

    I've been wondering about that. Normally, rate increases are intended to offset inflation by reducing the money supply. But that doesn't always work, and can be counter-productive. The inflation in the 70s was primarily due to shortages (oil and crop failures). Increased rates only made...
