  1. Homeland security is getting gamed by both the immigrants and the opposition party.
  2. The media is simply doing its job or at least the job they feel is theirs. Take the faux outrage offered by their lefty political partners and run with it. Run with it until it looses steam and then find the next similar opportunity. It's breathtaking to see how quickly dozens of media outlets can spin up the same news and in some cases the same talking points within hours or even minutes of one another. Even more amazing is that much of the public eats it up and that these "news" outlets can generate billion$ in ad revenue annually with this simple business model. Millions of viewers/readers is clear evidence to the advertisers that these outlets can promote their products to a very gullible audience.
  3. Charlie the Butcher overrated IMO. The sandwich is good but the restaurant itself is a dump, they haven't put a dime into it in decades unless they've done so recently. No beer either as I recall. Just a couple miles from there is the Creekview or the Glen Park Tavern both on Main Street in Williamsville. Buffalo Brew Pub nearby too. Good beef with much better atmosphere and bar at each of those. Lots of places though to get a good beef on weck and that is an absolute must for first time Buffalo visitors.
  4. The separation story is just the latest media diversion to take attention off of the strong economy, the positive meeting with North Korea and the wrongdoings of the FBI. These children aren't being harmed. Let's not take the bait.
  5. The children at the border are hardly being held in cages.
  6. It is tasty but a terrible hangover the next day if you have several glasses. Like getting hit on the side of your head with a shovel.
  7. That is some great work and deserves to be seen by many more.
  8. You know duct tape has 1001 uses don't you?
  9. The real question is why we even detain illegal immigrants coming over the border at all. We should adopt a 180 policy. Turn around and get the hell out of here. That will keep the families together.
  10. Guys with large guts have to wear them long.
  11. That's quite a leap. You should get into the olympic training program as a long jumper. You could destroy the world record.
  12. I agree. Single payer in that every single person should pay for themselves and their own insurance. When that happens people will be more health conscious, more judicious in what they spend, the medical providers will have to find more cost effective solutions and we can actually have a health care marketplace which we don't have today.
  13. Lentils are bad, in the legume family. Full of lectins. Don't eat them.
  14. Trump and his charity aren't being charged with anything criminal. The AG is saying there was a misuse of funds and wants to fine them. They'll look at the books and make a determination. They aren't guilty yet. Now if Michael Cohen somehow represents Trump in this it'll be quite a sideshow for ya, but that's not happening.
  15. You cannot call anyone here an idiot without a licensing agreement.
  16. Point being if she hadn't used her own servers no "investigation" ever happens and she avoids the problem altogether, but that would have required her to subject all her doings to FOIA which could have been another downfall.
  17. What hurt her was the decision to manage her email independently on her own servers.
  18. How the Clinton email and Trump campaign investigations were or weren't done had to be dictated by people above Comey. Some in the FBI and other IC may have easily played along due to their own political biases but for the most part they must have been following marching orders. Right now a lot of people are catching **** for their loyal to Obama and Lynch work. Comey was/is in a tough spot.
  19. Very interesting. Sort of related..... I've hired 2 former felons that were jailed for a few years each. The first one worked well for us for a few months and then after the "newness" of the job and freedom wore off we saw him sliding into some bad habits, unreliability and poor job performance. Try as we did I had to fire him for doing something pretty bad. The second person started working here about 2 years ago and is an absolute jewel and now an important member of the team. A real keeper and we've been able to bring him along in terms of responsibility and compensation. He and I couldn't be happier with how this has progressed. Both were incarcerated but had very different experiences in prison. The first one described it as very rough and tumble among the inmates and bragged about biting off a guy's pinky finger in a fight. The other was one of the lucky ones and got hired by the in-prison company and worked a job in the distribution of prison supplies for 2-3 years and learned a lot. Came in the door to us with some unexpected business skills. Obviously staying out of the criminal system and working toward productive goals is best but I have often said that jail time for many should be much shorter, harsher initially and then much more rehabilitative leading up to release. The person in the first example left prison no better than when he entered. The second completely different.
  20. Comey actually kept it close by playing along with Lynch and Obama and not actually running a real investigation. Had he done otherwise, there would have at the very least been reports of a grand jury looking at it or even charges filed. Comey and co. kept her in the game while walking a political tightrope between the truth and Obama's desired outcome.
  21. We can't be too far from mind controlling drugs that will make that training unnecessary. The next dem congress and pres can simply make them a mandate under the remnants of Obamacare.
  22. Started watching with no expectations of watching for more than a few minutes. Watched all 4 entirely. This lays it out quite well. It doesn't address Clinton's pay to play stuff with the foundation at all which would make it even more damning, but that subject isn't well developed yet AFAIK.
