Tuesday Evening Coat-of-Arms Puzzle

Where are they from, and why are there three?

For extra points, discuss their colours and their symmetry groups. Note especially the relative placement of the sword and the key in the first (leftmost) one.

What is the animal on the third one? What is it carrying on its shoulder? What is its significance?

Truck Billary and Fump

Lately I've been hearing that some folks are going to vote for Trump to stop Hillary. Well, not me. I refuse to play into the narrative that voting for the Alt-Right and 'mainstream' right's darling (They're just mad he's saying what they've been yelling at us in code for decades) will save the country. I'm sorry, but I won't give any quarter to any of those morons. Not in a million years.

Death rattle of the frackers

Two years ago the shale oil fracking industry was on top of the world.
Oil was expensive and the frackers were riding a decade-long boom. The United States have surpassed Saudi Arabia in oil production for the first time in half a century.
The only party-poopers were environmentalists, who complained about poisoned ground water and earthquakes, but no one was going to let them stand in the way of progress.

Climate Change - Systems Overload - Deer in the Head Lights

PREFACE
This is part 2 of my multi-part (lol) Series of Essay's on Climate Change. Again, this was originally published at TOS, but I have cut the up original, edited it and have changed some things a bit editorially (broadened vocabulary, less expletives). I'm just being upfront about it's "content" differences with the original at TOS.

West Chicago

I guess all portents indicated my first essay upon returning from a bout of sickness would concern some death. The Lady Chablis died. Alexis Arquette.

But we're left to believe those were from natural causes. Chablis died after a month in a hospital fighting pneumonia. Alexis was in a coma at Cedars Sinai for four days before passing while listening to David Bowie's Starman.

Guccifer 2.0 has released a new trove of documents

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/guccifer-2-0-dnc-docs-228091

“The hacker persona Guccifer 2.0 has released a new trove of documents that allegedly detail the Democratic National Committee’s network infrastructure, as well as more information on the DNC’s finances and Democratic donors, Forbes reported.

How different is creating a 'Basket of Deplorables' from building a wall?

When Hillary Clinton spoke to the mega-donors (her preferred audience), she suggested dumping nearly 30 million people into a basket – undeniably a trash basket – due to their misfortunes, ignorance and vulnerabilities. So Donald Trump would deport 11 million and Hillary would put 30 million into a virtual trash can.

Hill IS running out the clock

So that's what this "pneumonia thing" is all about! Just read a Chris Cillizza post in today's Washington Post about how Hillary Clinton's sudden (but not too serious, although it is mildly contagious) case of "pneumonia" may have her out of commission for six or more weeks, perhaps through October. What an absolutely convenient way for her to run out the clock and avoid pesky debates and press conferences (yet free her schedule up for fundraisers).

The internet stole my life and my death

So, basically I can't die on the internet, right? My words have been indefitnitely stolen from my control, my mind has been manipulated and I can't escape it, if I want to die, I live on. If I say, I don't want to live anymore on the internet, it doesn't care, ignores me and lets me live forever. So, I become immortal.

If I kill myself and my body is gone, my words remain and they will hurt my loved ones. They will suffer for my words. And I can't do anything about it.
