Only a wave good sweep garbage like those two worthless conservatives into the Senate. And Schumer is counting on just that. On the other hand, Schumer has worked hard to successfully recruit the most electable Democrat in Tennessee for a seat few thought the Democrats had any chance to win: popular and well-respected former governor, Phil Bredesen.

US Special Forces: time for their own Pearl Harbor moment?

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 13 hours ago

The consequences of such neglect were also visible in the accidents suffered by several US Navy Seventh Fleet warships over the past year, and the removal of several senior and Flag officers as a result. However, not everyone is familiar with the devastating critique of US Special Forces that was released about ten da... more »

On November 21, 2001, President Bush askedDefense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to start revising the war plan for Iraq. Rumsfeld was unhappy with the plan because it was largely a replay of the 1991 Gulf War. The Pentagon chief believed the war could be implemented much more quickly and with a smaller force than the hundreds of thousands the military wanted. This caused a large controversy within the Defense Department, which spilled over to the rest of the administration and ex-military men as well.

Peter Heine Nielsen, a Danish chess Grandmaster, summarized it quite well. "I always wondered, if some superior alien race came to Earth, how they would play chess. Now I know". The architecture that beat humans at the notoriously CPU-impervious game Go, AlphaGo by Google Deep Mind, was converted to allow the machine to tackle other "closed-rules" games. Successively, the program was given the rules of chess, and a huge battery of Google's GPUs to train itself on the game. Within four hours, the alien emerged.

With higher wages, they purchase more goods and services. These purchases motivate companies to expand and invest, and create more and better jobs.

Religion: The Koran (Qur'an)

The Koran is an excellent example of channeling from the other side. It includes the natural dangers of the channeling process and is reflected in the fluidity observed during Mohamed's lifetime. We have observed this phenomena in many other cases. Because it is impossible to confirm identity of the spirit source unless it is called by name and that was not happening here, the door is open for other spirits interpolating material at odds with the intentions of the prime spiritual sources.

British IS fighters 'should not be allowed back into the UK' per BBC News

Not a sheep at Not a sheep - 21 hours ago

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Gavin Williamson said: "Quite simply, my view is a dead terrorist can't cause any harm to Britain."' Hard to argue with that? The BBC of course find someone, but I won't dignify their opinion by repeating it here. BBC article here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42260814

The rallying cry of their classroom is "carpe diem," popularized as "seize the day," although more literally translated as "pluck the day," referring to the gathering of moments like flowers, suggesting the ephemeral quality of life, as in Robert Herrick's "To the Virgi... more »
