Love the Blues but right now I'm more bruise than anything. Apparently I had a seizure yesterday afternoon and ended up in ER until almost 2:30 a.m. Still not sure what caused it but they are trying to tell me I can't drive for 6 months. I'm trying to get into a neurologist to see if that can be changed. I am a caregiver after all.

This is what I look like and why I'm trying not to go outside where people can see me.

There are no news stories, the world ran out of them, all the new pie tastes like the old pie. All the proofs are in the pudding, but with all the pie, I have to throw up when I look into the pudding for proofs. What the difference between pie and pudding anyhow?

Enjoy your vacation time and don't forget to come "home" one day. Smile

I switched to DuckDuckGo for my searches a long time ago. DuckDuckGo doesn't track its users and isn't selling information about them. Google's top results seemed often to be sponsored. I would have to go to the 2nd page to get regular results. I haven't regretted switching.

Cigna-Anthem Deal: Connecticut Gov. Malloy Signs Secrecy Bill That Could Shield Insurance Information From Public Release

Liars should never write books. Books are a real problem. Because liars always have to be ready to change their stories, and once a book is released, there’s no changing it. The book says what it says, and it’s out there for people to read. If you now want to say something different, how do you deal with the fact that your own book is floating around contradicting you?

But Hillary Clinton has to change her story because that’s what she does, so the fact that she wrote a book in 2014 bragging about getting other nations to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership cannot stop her from pretending it never happened - a must now that she has changed her position from calling TPP the “gold standard” of trade agreements to opposing it entirely.

According to this Inquisitr article, the California count is going well for Sanders, but buried deep in the story was this little tidbit:

Clinton is still ahead in delegates and super delegates, but nine more superdelegates are now showing in the most current update from The Green Papers as having dropped Hillary Clinton. She now as 545 superdelegates who say they will most likely vote for her at the convention in July. The New York Times still shows 577.

The Green Papers that the article references, however, is currently showing the SDs at 543. Granted that there were 10 invisible, anonymous--perhaps non-existent-- SDs announced by the AP, but there seems to be even more who are evaporating. The Green Papers show Sanders with 47. The source I usually follow for the delegate count shows HRC with 545 and Sanders with 49 in one chart and 544 to 47 in another. Seems numbers cannot be kept straight even within the same source..

With so much variance in numbers, one would have to wonder just how much of HRC's SD count is real. Some time back I wondered about this as HRC had around 428 and all of a sudden with no new endorsements announced, it was 500 something. Although, I had read of several who had un-endorsed her. They may have both been from Puerto Rico, but at least one for sure was.

Thanks for the musical interlude, Joe.

My so-called progressive representative is a superdelegate for Hillary. I'm going to call him about it and just tell him (his office) how undemocratic is was for him to commit his vote to Hillary before anyone even voted. This is Colorado which easily went for Bernie. I'm going to see if I can find out the caucus result numbers for his district. My precinct went overwhelmingly for Bernie, and I think the whole district did. I'll throw in how he helped the press influence the election by adding in superdelegates like him who did not listen to their constituents and announced their loyalty prior to voting.

He is up for reelection too, so I'll let him know I won't be voting for him for the first time. He does not have a primary opponent on the ballot, but I'll skip him on the General.

hard to find her public speeches as her site scrubs a lot of things. . Maybe I just don't know how to find a particular public campaign speech, but I can't find it.

I saw a short clip of her on some corporate media station speaking at a pathetic "rally" several months ago where she said that Trump and each Koch only get one vote just like everyone else.

She's so full of shit with that statement because of all the super delegates she lined up before Bernie even announced his candidate -- these super delegates get TWO votes, one where they voted in their state's primary, and then another vote at the convention.

Yes, this is a right wing site I'm linking to, but nowadays, I find that's one of the best places on google to find actual news.

The story revolves around big-bucks Clinton Foundation donor and Democrat fundraiser Rajiv K. Fernando, a Chicago securities trader who somehow landed on the International Security Advisory Board during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, despite having absolutely zero experience. The position gave Fernando “one of the highest levels of Top Secret access.”

...

No doubt he is busy with other activities, such as being one of the super-delegates Clinton has been relying on to secure the Democrat nomination for president.

except for Fox will soon be defunct because of late the only place I can find facts--vs opinion--is at Fox (in regard to the Clintons crime acts). How sad is that!!??

For searches, I often find it helpful to type in as closely quoted or paraphrased as possible something from the speech to find something on it.

if you read between the lines, pro-regime and pro-party “epistemic closure” is now mandatory.

http://www.salon.com/2010/01/15/sunstein_2/

Thus any medium that is not right-wing like Fox is currently suffering from the “state of emergency” self-censorship switch having been thrown (Gleichschaltung), compelling them to go 100% pro-Hillary until the anti-Trump “state of emergency” has been lifted, in mid-November at earliest.

Sounds like a jobs program to me /s

He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called “independent” credible voices to bolster the Government’s messaging

I wonder if it pays better than Brock's disinformation program. Which reminds me...Correct the Record seems to have expanded its services to right-wing media now as I am seeing a lot of pro-HRC comments against Trump supporters there now.

Thanks for the link.

Don't worry about your source. This has been reported by ABC News, CNN, Slate, Time, etc. Took a quick search just now because I had seen it reported elsewhere.

Ha. Good point about the 2 votes. That had not occurred to me, that of course they get their regular vote too. I'll add that into my comments to my rep. Thanks.

closely, but I know Bernie was against this deal and Hillary was "for it," pass it and then fix it crap again.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to revive a Puerto Rico debt-restructuring law, putting the U.S. territory at risk of a messy default unless Congress this month passes legislation to help the Caribbean island survive its crippling fiscal crisis.

The justices ruled 5-2 that Puerto Rico's 2014 statute, which would have let it cut billions of dollars in debt at public utilities over creditor objections, conflicted with federal bankruptcy law. The justices left in place a 2015 appeals court ruling invalidating the law, called the Recovery Act.

buy another company for 26.2 BILLION dollars.

Something is very wrong here.

In its quest to become the world’s productivity hub, Microsoft announced today that it’s buying LinkedIn, the largest professional social network in the world.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced the $26.2 billion acquisition in a Tweet, quickly driving LinkedIn stock up 48 percent.

And then spend billions buying back their own stock, which will raise the price of the stock and make millions for the CEO and his pals.

If I can figure out how. Never been useful to me anyway. Never responded to LinkedIn's legal team email to reset my password, so maybe that is a done deal.
