Where were the black Democrats? Where were the non-yuppies?
The answers to those questions on 7 November this year will go a long way to explaining the next couple of years.

President Trump signed the eagerly anticipated Music Modernization Act into law at a ceremony at the White House on Thursday, in the most high-profile event for the music industry in several years. Mike Love and Kid Rock, two of Trump’s most visible supporters in the music community, were at the White House for the signing alongside Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, country singer John Rich and the Doobie Brothers’ Jeff “Skunk” Baxter.
Intended to update music copyright law for the digital era, H.R. 1551 (formally the “Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act”) accomplishes three key things: making sure songwriters and artists receive royalties on songs recorded before 1972; allocating royalties for music producers; and updating licensing and royalty rules for streaming services to pay rights-holders in a more streamlined fashion, via a new, independent entity. Under the act, many music creators will have a more reliable way of collecting the money that they’re due.

from three days ago
https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/08/nik-lentz-ufc-brett-kavanaugh-response/?utm_campaign=atdailycaller&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter
Lentz gave a shoutout to his “homie” Brett Kavanaugh after defeating Gray Maynard on the UFC 229 card this past weekend
Naturally, not everybody was pleased.
Lentz told me the following in response to what he’d have to say to the haters and critics:
Tough fight against a great opponent I respect, who competed by the rules and had no excuses.
I gave a shout-out to Justice Brett Kavanaugh not as a cheap stunt. A moment’s research (which automatically disqualifies almost the entire MMA “media”, as well as most “mainstream” journalists as well) will make it clear my commitment to conservative values and a realistic, pragmatic approach to how I expect my Government to Govern, have been central to my online posts and discussions for many years.
and from there he really let’s them know how he feels

I had one cat years ago, and a co-worker gave me hers. The first week or so they were always growling at each other. But they ended up being great friends together.
We’re starting to house hunt. We need a little more (ok, we need a lot more) space. Which will probably be filled up with more cats. Meeting with an old college friend’s wife, a real estate agent, tomorrow. I’ve known him over 30 years, and her a little over 20.

Ha! Who knew Schumer had short hairs. I’m guessing, given what Tom Cotton has been banging on about (the entire Kavanaugh thing was a Schumer op), no one is inclined to be bi-partisan toward him right now.

good morning. we were speaking of judges. This is about the 9th Circuit, so of particular interest.
https://www.sacbee.com/latest-news/article219869925.html
WASHINGTON
After months of negotiations and delays, the White House is moving to fill California’s three vacancies on the influential 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — over the strenuous objections of the state’s two Democratic senators.
White House officials had been negotiating with Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, both of whom sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, earlier in the year about filling these and other federal court vacancies in the state. But that dialogue collapsed this past summer, Senate aides said.
[]
President Trump’s nominees for the appeals court — litigators Daniel Collins and Kenneth Lee and Assistant United States Attorney Patrick Bumatay — are all based in Southern California, are prominent members of the conservative Federalist Society, and have worked for Republican administrations. None of the three were approved by Feinstein or Harris via a process known as a “blue slip,” the senators’ offices confirmed Thursday.
let’s see if McConnell stomps them.

“I repeatedly told the White House I wanted to reach an agreement on a package of 9th Circuit nominees, but last night the White House moved forward without consulting me, picking controversial candidates from its initial list and another individual with no judicial experience who had not previously been suggested.
“The decision to move forward with these nominees without consultation or responding to my acceptance of the White House offer reflects President Trump’s desire to remake the court. I expect my blue slips to be honored as I was acting in good faith.”

oh yeah. Does anyone else find it odd that Turkey’s account of what happened to Khashoggi is seemingly being accepted w/o question?
Judith Miller was on some Fox show yesterday and she actually said this: “We know, I mean there’s no proof, but WE KNOW what happened”
I’m not naive about the Saudis, but srsly? The guy is gone for less than 24 hrs and the Turks somehow know he was grabbed inside the consulate by 15 guys and dismembered?

Sorry, doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Mohammad bin Salman al Saud is way to friendly with Trump. Therefore, he has to be destroyed.
The assassination attempt in Las Vegas failed (yes, that is what really happened in the horrific Las Vegas mass shooting, it was an assassination attempt on the heir apparent to the Saudi throne that went bad, FBI almost foiled the attempt so the assassins attacked American’s in retaliation)
The FBI thought they were engaging in a sting operation to apprehend terrorists within the United States purchasing weapons to be sent to Syria. They covered the whole thing up, because they provided the weapons used in the mass shooting, which was intended to be the assassination of Mohammad bin Salman al Saud.
Why they covered the whole damned thing up is pretty damned obvious once you realize what they almost did. Imagine the problems if it got out, FBI assists in assassination of Saudi Crown Prince and heir to Saudi throne. Talk about a political shit storm.

@ eaglesoars:
Economic news for one thing. John Williams, the highly respected source of “Shadow Stats, says that the REAL rate of inflation is 10%.
For most people prices of food, shelter, utilities, and other necessities are going up. The affluent don’t notice, but the average working person is stretched to pay the bills.
Also opening the borders of Western nations to Muslims is accelerating the invasion. Not one in a thousand Canadians could tell you that 30% of Trudope’s cabinet are muzz. Those would be Brotherhood muzz and radical Sikhs. Not a “moderate” in the bunch.
Just these 2 examples transcend party lines and there are others. (as soon as I make them up. lol)

@ eaglesoars:
True enough. However the OPEN acceptable loathing of Trump gets worse, not better. Dan Bongino said that people need to advise their kids not to be too vocal about conservative views. That’s not exactly what he said but close enough. Being able to track every elementary school fight in a society with cameras and spyware is going to make people subject to lifelong scrutiny. Kavanaugh was an opening shot in permanent public records being exposed. The Chinese ‘good citizen’ score is already a reality.
From zerohedge comment (which I advise people to never read)

That anti-Saudi source for the Khashoggi stories seems to be one Khaled Saffuri.
Saffuri was a long time aid to the U.S. fundraiser for Al Queda, Abdurahman Almoudi
Almoudi is in fed prison, convicted of being the bagman for the Libyan/AQ plot to assassinate the Saudi Crown Prince
Saffuri and Almoudi arranged the first Iftar dinner for the Clinton WH
Patrick Poole is the source for all this, I’ve found him to be reliable in the past
Supposedly, Khashoggi was wearing an Apple watch that recorded his interrogation, torture and murder. His cell phone was his back up device, slaved to his watch. He gave his phone to his fiance, who was waiting for him outside the consulate.
He went to the consulate to apply for a marriage license.
what?
If you are so concerned about your safety in the consulate you pass your backup to a trusted person “in case anything happens”, are you really going to put yourself in that position for a marriage license? No.

If you’ve ever picked up a video game that features other characters that are controlled by the computer, then you’ve run into non-player characters or NPC’s.
NPC’s serve a host of different functions depending on what the program you’re playing with needs them for. They’re the villagers in Skyrim, Toad from Super Mario Brothers, and the ghosts in Pac-Man. NPC’s may have dialogue, patterns, and personality, but at the end of the day, they’re just a program with pre-set behavioral patterns decided for them by a developer.
Now let’s pretend we’re taking this article from the top…
If you’ve ever stepped onto a college campus or a protest demonstration that features people with neon colored hair screaming at the top of their lungs about identity politics or a social concern then you’ve run into a social justice warrior or SJW.
If you won’t engage in civil debate, and instead scream tired phrases at people when you run out of things to say, then there’s no person there, just a shell that somebody else is speaking through.

JAMAL KHASHOGGI BLAMED 9/11 ON US SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL
There’s a reason that the media loved Jamal Khashoggi, the Muslim Brotherhood member and Osama bin Laden pal. And there’s a reason that it’s mourning his supposed disappearance.
Here, after September 11, Jamal Khashoggi blames the Muslim terrorist attacks on America’s support for Israel.

It was Yasin Aktay — a former MP for Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development party (AKP) — whom Khashoggi told his fiancée to call if he did not emerge from the consulate. The AKP is, in effect, the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. His most trusted friend, then, was an adviser to President Erdogan, who is fast becoming known as the most vicious persecutor of journalists on earth. Khashoggi never meaningfully criticised Erdogan. So we ought not to see this as the assassination of a liberal reformer
https://spectator.us/2018/10/jamal-khashoggi/
This article assumes that Khashoggi was murdered in the consulate by the Saudis, but it does have good background material on the guy

Mark Brunson, a emotional disturbed, mental deficient individual posing as a Christian Pastor in the rightful Turkish Islamic Caliphate, was violently and ruthlessly ripped from the loving arms of his benevolent Islamic saviors by the evil Trump administration.
Flown to Germany where he was obviously brainwashed into becoming a Nazi White Supremacist and forced to kiss the American Flag should be denied entry to the United States as he is obviously a dangerous domestic terrorist preparing to engage in deadly terrorists activities.
And guess what?
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) is not currently available in Turkey.

which is REALLY COOL when you consider that the watch doesn’t have any fingerprint function/sensor
