The International Socialists on the Left and the Globalist Socialists on the ‘Right’ won’t ever quit.
We won this round; long is the struggle, hard the fight

Greetings Comrades. In Socialist Solidarity we will twist everything that the counter-revolutionary
reactionary says,and lie about the criminal Trump.

A day in my life…
Yesterday I got an email at 12:21pm from a customer that a week ago bought over $8000 of our controls.
I did not reply to it. I just curled up in a fetal position and cried softly to myself…..
This morning I got another email at 9:14am
I replied an hour later….
So, how do you politely tell a customer that what they bought was designed in 2003 and remained that way and you sold them 14 year old stuff?
TLS was accepted as a standard for secure transmission of data in 2006. Shit we sold was from 2003.

The other two like curry.

Kanye West: I Want to Apologize to George W. Bush for 2005 Comment
Kanye West revealed in a TMZ interview on Tuesday that he wanted to apologize to George W. Bush for saying in 2005 that the president did not care about black people in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Kanye West said he was always told not to apologize to Bush, but that he recently saw the former president pushing his father’s wheelchair at Barbara Bush’s funeral in March, and he felt sympathy for him.
“Do you know how bad I would want to go to George Bush and say I’m sorry for hurting you. I was an artist I was hurting when I went up to the telethon,” Kanye explained. “I said something in the moment, but when I look at you as a Dad, and a family member, I’m sorry for hurting you.”
West repeated in his interview with TMZ founder Harvey Levin that he wanted to treat people like humans and spread more love across the country.
“Does God want you to love everyone? … If you start thinking about love and start feeling love and thinking about forgiveness, then you can overcome things,” Kanye said.
Love has been the theme of Kanye’s recent free thought campaign, in which he’s challenging people to break free from there “thought prisons.”
The “808s & Heartbreak” singer also slammed the fake news media in his recent TMZ interview, referring to it as “torture porn” for losers.

This isn’t going away, and not a publicity stunt.
Everybody that’s listening to what West is saying is also a click away from Candace Owens and Thomas Sowell.
No matter how small, this MATTERS.

The Hill to end attendance at WHCA dinner without ‘major reforms’
“In short, there’s simply no reason for us to participate in something that casts our profession in a poor light. Major changes are needed to the annual event,” the letter states.
Finkelstein’s letter criticized Wolf’s performance as “out of line” and said that The Hill hoped the dinner could get “back to talking about the importance of the Fourth Estate without the kind of ugly sideshow that completely overshadowed the event this year.”
“Along those lines, we will happily donate in the future to the WHCA scholarship program and hope this program can produce future journalists to fight for freedom of the press while remaining non-partisan,” Finkelstein wrote. “In the meantime, without major reforms, The Hill no longer wishes to participate in future dinners.”

In the DNC lawsuit against the Trump Campaign and, well, RUSSIA!!, a certified looney toon named David Andrew Christenson has filed a motion on 4/24 to intervene to file a RICO suit of his own against the Trump Campaign et al.

We got a live one on the loose folks! Just what this lawsuit needed.
Oh, and as of a week after their issuance, NO summons has been served on any of the Defendants.

An American woman of 40 wants to get married, but she is only willing to marry a man who has never been with a woman sexually.
After several unsuccessful years of searching, she decides to take out a personal ad.
She ends up corresponding with a man who has lived his entire life in the Australian Outback, and after a long-distance courtship, they decide to get married.
On their wedding night, she goes into the bathroom to prepare for the festivities. When she returns to the bedroom, she finds her new husband standing in the middle of the room, naked and all the furniture from the room piled in one corner.
“What happened?” she asks.
“I’ve never been with a woman,” he says. “But if it’s anything like screwing a kangaroo I’m gonna need all the help I can get”

Russia Isn’t Just Interfering in Elections Around the World. It’s Doing Something Far Worse
In recent weeks, I’ve been collecting stories of Russian dissidents who say they fell victim to exchanges of confidential information between European officials and Russian authorities. The leak of one Cyprus prosecutor’s emails in November has exposed a growing trend: in its hunt to track critics, the Kremlin is recruiting allies within Western states’ law enforcement agencies.
Do not, for one minute, think this is only w/in the EU.

@ eaglesoars:
Hmmm… Who exactly is the Atlantic Council? Besides the fact former Chairman James L. Jones retired to serve as Obama’s National Security Director, and its current Chairman is John Huntsman Jr. I do not see much that would lend them any credibility beyond being Marxist Deep State One World Government types.
Do I trust Russia? Fuck no. Well, technically I trust Russia to do what Russia believes is in Russia’s best interests. Beyond that I am well aware that every Marxist New World Order elitist asshole on earth hates and has a massive hard-on grudge against Russia for betraying Stalin’s vision of a One World Marxist Government and abandoning Marxism.
As far as I am concerned, this bullshit article stinks to high hell of the Fifth Column Treasonous Marxist Mainstream Media’s Russia, Russia, Russia hysteria. News Flash… Every Country on EARTH does this. Just ask Edward Snowden.
I hate airlines.
Just as I was walking out the door to head to the airport, I got a text saying my flight to Dallas was cancelled.
Then a few minutes later, I got one saying they rebooked me on a flight that leaves at 5am tomorrow.
Fortunately, I was able to get one at 6:15 this evening. Still sucks, but better than 5am
@ doriangrey:
I agree with every word you said. Especially this part:

The reason I posted it is because the FBI has been compromised by the Russians already – James Hanssen being the most recent that we know of – and I just thought it might be a timely reminder AND because I thought there was an odd emphasis on the EU, almost like a “Oh, look over THERE!” ploy

Record exports cut US trade deficit to $49 billion
WASHINGTON (AP) — Record exports trimmed the U.S. trade deficit in March, the first drop in seven months in a massive gap that President Donald Trump is determined to shrink with an aggressive America first policy.
The Commerce Department says the trade deficit — the difference between what America sells and what it buys in foreign markets — slid to $49 billion, down from $57.7 billion in February and lowest since September.
Trump has vowed to bring down America’s massive deficits, which he blames on bad trade agreements and abusive practices by U.S. trading partners.
Exports rose in March to a record $208.5 billion, led by shipments of civilian aircraft and soybeans. Imports slipped 1.8 percent to $257.5 billion.
The United States ran a $20.5 billion surplus in the trade of services such as education and banking. But that was offset by a $69.5 billion deficit in the trade of goods.
