Heard in a church:

God, please help us prevail against our enemy, ISIS...

The statolatry is powerful. Did he mean "our enemy, satan"?

The smart thing to do. Don't worry statists, they'll start reavin' and rapin' again shortly.

To evade more government BS. A "Trans" Idea that actually sounds useful to me.

Figures out the "AGW gon kill us" crowd are idiots, and hurting real science. And their motivations are less than pure. Figuring out that the lysenkoism that dominates is just another facet of the crony scam that is our protectionist economy is a bitter pill for many.

Losing the whig view of history (always progress) is also a hard feat for many to pull off, being so heavily indoctrinated into believing it by public schools. Bad ideas do take root, and sometimes they can bring society into dark ages.

Nova points out that the entire trillion-dollar industry of climate change policy rests on a single hypothetical assumption, first advanced in 1896, for which to this day there is no evidence.
The assumption is that modest warming from carbon dioxide must be trebly amplified by extra water vapour—that as the air warms there will be an increase in absolute humidity providing “a positive feedback”. That assumption led to specific predictions that could be tested. And the tests come back negative again and again. The large positive feedback that can turn a mild warming into a dangerous one just is not there.

I remember saying to friends years ago that "radiative forcing" was impossible. Water vapor concentrations due to evaporation go up roughly linearly with temprature until you get to boiling. That's a far cry from "triple".

Doesn't appear to work too well, eh?

"The only ones"

For showing the visa/passport system as the crony scam that it is.

The AP found that 72% of the 500 companies had adjusted profits that were higher than net income in the first quarter of this year, and that the gap between those figures had widened to sixteen percent from nine percent five years ago. They also found that 21% of companies reported adjusted profits that were 50% more than net income, up from just 13% five years ago.

Talk about "creative accounting".

This time a microphone activator.

Very interesting if replicable.

Way to stick it to DuPont and mordor after all these years.

Nothing could possibly go wrong

Best take yet. This is THE reason for blacks to be pro gun, as Po Po ain't coming to the rescue, ever.

Well, that and blowback, but the US doesn't care about the people they drone. Scratch that, Uncle Sam doesn't care about the soldiers either.

Would make sense, as they are closest to a good windows clone can be.

Could be interesting

I'm considering starting to use this thing, since I'm in a neighborhood I actually like now.

You can’t have people walking around with guns. I used to tell people when we did Bosnia, Kosovo anything like that, you get enough people with weapons around and there will be unintended consequences...

It's as if he's read John Ross' book!

Not surprising.

Interesting to see. Must mean shekels aren't what they used to be :P

Bank runs have been going, default probably fait accompli at this point (as if it ever were anything else).

As if we expected any less.

The FraudFather part 2

A mere two days after our April shipping announcement, DD's longtime payments processor PayPal abruptly began refusing to process our orders and froze up many hundreds of thousands of dollars in our account while they invented a "terms of use review" for our product.

Many Ghost Gunner customers were personally emailed in the week thereafter and actually asked by PayPal for what purpose they intended to use their machine. I found both of these actions outrageous and condemned PayPal with the strongest language when I spoke with their risk department at the end of April, ending our relationship.

Now, PayPal is known to not be friendly to gun-related companies, this is true. And like our payments processor before them they acted like their hands were tied, but rather than cancel our accounts, they froze DD's funds and then demanded a ten million dollar reserve before they'd process any more payments. This happens to be the exact sum for which the company was recently fined for their deceptive trade practices. Coincidence? I'll let you decide. For my part, I told them to go to hell and refunded many of your orders.
