Just to let everyone know, everyone with the DNC fraud suit filed in FL tracking Shawn Lucas's regretful passing. We have not spoken about it until we are sure what exactly happened. We will comment later as to how correlated his involvement with the case may or may not have been once we gather more information.

So, Clint did an interview.

And the old guy decided to tell us that we're all far too sensitive about race and need to calm down about it. You see, things were DIFFERENT back in his day. He worked forty hours down at mill for tuppence a week...

The winners are moderate Republicans (yes, they still exist)--not Dems, of course, because it's KS. They defeated Brownback's toadies, who are Koch toadies. This is good news. Following Koch blueprints, Brownback has gutted the state's public education, along with many other public services, in the name of tax breaks, resulting in large budget shortfalls. The consequences to the people of KS have been devastating statewide.

Woot! Can't wait for the US to hear Jill Stein's policies! And looking forward to hearing Ajamu Baraka!

(CNN) — CNN announced Wednesday it will host one of its town hall events with the Green Party's presumptive presidential nominee Jill Stein and her presumptive running mate, Ajamu Baraka.

The hour-long event will be held on Wednesday, August 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET. The event will broadcast live on CNN, CNN International, CNN en Espanol and online via CNNgo.

This talking point comes via a youtube comment exchange with a Clinton supporter who believed the lie that 25 percent of Sanders supporters would have voted for Trump in the general if Bernie won the primary. What is it with Hillary supporters and identity politics? They accuse us of using all that and acting like 'special little snowflakes' when the Clinton campaign did it themselves over and over and over again.

Here we go again, folks. Our host provider is performing routine maintenance on our server again. The last time we went down on the first night of their maintenance schedule for about 2 hours, if that repeats we may be down tonight a little after 10 PM MDT.

JtC,

As part of our longstanding effort to keep our servers fast and reliable, the server hosting caucus99percent.com is scheduled for routine maintenance starting at 10pm MDT between Wednesday, August 3 and Friday, August 5. You can expect approximately 30-60 minutes of downtime while the server reboots.

Please be assured we're doing everything possible to make this a smooth transition.

Thanks,

Sorry about any inconvenience and I hope it doesn't last too long.

Over the past week, the American public have seen a great deal of Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of an American soldier, Captain Humayun Khan, who died in 2004 while fighting in Iraq. The Khans and their son are / were Muslims, and Khizr Khan gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention last week denouncing Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric and arguing his proposed immigration ban on Muslims is unconstitutional. Trump has reacted with his usual bloviating, including jabs at Captain Khan's mother, resulting in an escalating war of words with the family.

Both Republicans and Democrats have rightly denounced Trump's attacks on the fallen soldier's family. That said, all the praise for the Khans rings hollow for me. Although they were brave for condemning Trump, they have failed to call Hillary Clinton on her support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq which killed their son in the first place. They took the stage to speak on behalf of a politician who voted to send their son to his death.

My Gut Reaction: I rarely agree with the orange bigot, but he had a point when he noted that it was Hillary Clinton, not him, who voted for the Iraq War.

More below the fold...

Gun ownership. Crime. Economy. Police forces. Race. So many things intertwine together when trying to look at crime rates that it gets confusing and difficult to tell what is causing what to change, and what is being influenced by something else.
