According to the GoDaddy geeks, we should have a new security certificate, be no longer black-listed, and, from my end, be up to almost full operation….with some things disabled for now. The old comments are still in limbo. I will call GoDaddy tomorrow to set them free.
I intend, over the winter, to re-design this website into something more cohesive. It’s code and ad-ons over ten years is not working as well as I would like. That said, to add to my otherwise absurd schedule, I will be starting yet another Master’s program November first. So, any help with posts would be greatly appreciated as would any help with a re-design using a standard WordPress template.
Thanks for yinzes patience.
gonna clean the main page up a bit tomorrow as well
Wish I was even a little tech-savvy.
Suggestion that you add a ‘view new comments’ feature so we don’t have to reload the whole page.
So the FBI was investigating Russia and uranium bribery back in 2010. And covered it up

CW – I can try to set aside part of my day each day to give you a boost, by bringing my laptop to work and having it set to the site so I can monitor if people have a stuck comment. Also, I can set up a separate email account that could link to people with comments stuck in limbo. Let me know by email what I can do.
I could also contribute more in the threads department, I’m sure.
And really, best wishes on your tackling a new Master’s Degree. A daunting task to be sure.
I’m coming to the conclusion I need to get the hell off Twitter. I think my IQ loses 10 points just by clicking on the site.
Honest to God, we had some brainless wonder come on yesterday and say that McCain spent the Viet Nam War at the Hanoi Hilton which means he was NOT a P.O.W. I looked for the sarcasm tags. I looked for anything to indicate she wasn’t serious.
Dear GOD, she was.
Testing….
Glad to see things are back to a semblance of normal.
@ Deplorable Barbarian:
The Hoa Loa was the city jail IIRC. He would have died from his injuries there until his captors learned that he was a
Senator’s son. The USS McCain is named for his father.[Inaccuracies corrected by Dorian in comment below.]
@ Bunk X:
I’m no big fan, as you know, of McCain the Senator. But to read the crap the Twitter sewer dwellers were spewing on the thread made me want to reach my hands through and do some serious bitch slapping.
@ eaglesoars:

Also, a selfish request – any ideas for a new book to read. I thought about “Scalia Speaks” – have you read it?

Oh jeeze… Now I have to de-bunk Bunk. McCain was not a Senators son. He was the grandson and the son of two United State Navy Admirals. His grandfather and father’s were both Navy Admirals. Admiral John S McCain Sr, Admiral John S McCain Jr were Admirals, John S McCain III is the current batshit crazy traitorous Senator from Arizona.

As difficult as this has been, we have seen no indication that our partners are willing to make any changes that will result in a rebalancing and a reduction in these huge trade deficits. Now I understand that after many years of one-sided benefits, their companies have become reliant on special preferences and not just comparative advantage. Countries are reluctant to give up unfair advantage.

Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos is a paid member of the swamp and the last person that Trump should allow anywhere near the Cabinet and especially the CIA. Bezos has serious problems with his attempt to get into the Australian marketplace as he brings a reputation of playing fast and loose with tax law. Admit it. Bezos is just another One World Elitist on the make.

Re: President Trump’s Phone Call To Slain Soldier’s Widow
Slain soldier’s mom backs rep. on Trump comments
Excerpt from article:
Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof),” Trump tweeted. “Sad!”
It was shortly after that tweet that Johnson’s mother told The Post via Facebook Messenger that Wilson’s account of the conversation was accurate.
“President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband,” Cowanda Jones-Johnson told The Post. Though she declined to elaborate, she said “yes” when asked if Wilson’s account was true.

Now here’s a different article [This is where you go hmmmmm]
The lives of the 4 US soldiers killed in Niger
Excerpt:
Johnson lost his mother as a young boy and was raised by relatives.
Growing up in South Florida, he loved playing football. And during his early school years, he met Myeshia Manual, who later became his wife.
He is survived by his wife and children, Ah’leeysa Jones and Ladavid Johnson Jr. Before he died, Johnson was expecting his third child, La’Shee.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/18/politics/niger-us-soldiers-killed-profiles/index.html
And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room;
Of the four slain soldiers, three are White and one is Black.
Only one family is criticising President Trump.
