Trump State of The Union: Oct 2017

.

Since, with few exceptions, the (corrupt) U.S. Mainstream News Media is only focused on the contrived scandals (while covering-up for real corruption and real criminal behavior), fake histrionics, and tweet wars....it seems that the only way to learn about actual policy matters is through social media.

Below is Trump's October 2017 "State of The Union" discussion with Lou Dobbs.

Twitter Bans RT and Sputnik Ads - McCarthyist Assault on #AltMedia Continues

Can't say I'm surprised by this one bit.

Twitter Inc on Thursday banned advertisements from accounts owned by Russian media outlets Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik, citing allegations by U.S. intelligence agencies that the outlets tried to interfere with the 2016 U.S. election. [..]

Election-meddling is “not something we want on Twitter,” the San Francisco-based social network said in an unsigned statement.

"Nemo" Development/Brainstorming #3: Overland and The Technology

Still having fun with this, a LOT of fun with this, so I am continuing.

So let's start with a little mood music for describing the overland adventures. I'm going with Knopfler again, because his music is evocative and also has just enough electric to be feasible in a post-industrial world.

Thursday Open Thread 10-26-2017

Morning, been thinking about insects. The Guardian article Warning of 'ecological Armageddon' after dramatic plunge in insect numbers is disturbing. Our modern life of pavement, concrete, herbicides and pesticides takes its toll on insects. Most gardening books contain a chapter on how to kill or control insects (plant pests) and buy beneficial. Very few mention providing habitat.

Move over Creationists, a "leftie" professor will top your act! It's fun with numbers.

1 + 1 = 2; 2 + 2 = 4; 3 + 2 = 5.

That's mathematics (rudimentary in the example) which is known as "the pure science" because it does not deal with actual objects although it is regularly applied to objective things, like gravity, or astrophysics or even those computer things that often plague us.

Could this finally be the nail in the coffin for the Clintons?

Apologies in advance, I'm doing this from my phone because I just saw a new story on The Hill about a confidential informant being released from a CA in order to testify about the Uranium deal with Russia.

To be honest I thought this would get buried and fall through the cracks like every other Clinton Criminal coalition's misdeeds but now?

Maybe not...
