  1. Let’s take a romp down memory lane and review the typical Obama campaign strategy. Obama became a U.S. senator only by virtue of David Axelrod’s former employer, the Chicago Tribune, ripping open the sealed divorce records of Obama’s two principal opponents.

    One month before the 2004 Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, Obama was down in the polls, about to lose to Blair Hull, a multimillionaire securities trader. But then the Chicago Tribune leaked the claim that Hull’s second ex-wife, Brenda Sexton, had sought an order of protection against him during their 1998 divorce proceedings.

    Those records were under seal, but as The New York Times noted: “The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had ‘worked aggressively behind the scenes’ to push the story.” Many people said Axelrod had “an even more significant role — that he leaked the initial story.”

    Both Hull and his ex-wife opposed releasing their sealed divorce records, but they finally relented in response to the media’s hysteria — 18 days before the primary. Hull was forced to spend four minutes of a debate detailing the abuse allegation in his divorce papers, explaining that his ex-wife “kicked me in the leg and I hit her shin to try to get her to not continue to kick me.”

    After having held a substantial lead just a month before the primary, Hull’s campaign collapsed with the chatter about his divorce. Obama sailed to the front of the pack and won the primary. Hull finished third with 10 percent of the vote.

    As luck would have it, Obama’s opponent in the general election had also been divorced! Jack Ryan was tall, handsome, Catholic — and shared a name with one of Harrison Ford’s most popular onscreen characters! He went to Dartmouth, Harvard Law and Harvard Business School, made hundreds of millions of dollars as a partner at Goldman Sachs, and then, in his early 40s, left investment banking to teach at an inner city school on the South Side of Chicago.

    Ryan would have walloped Obama in the Senate race. But at the request of — again — the Chicago Tribune, California Judge Robert Schnider unsealed the custody papers in Ryan’s divorce five years earlier from Hollywood starlet Jeri Lynn Ryan, the bombshell Borg on “Star Trek: Voyager.”

  2. An international team of Finnish, American, British, and Swedish researchers examined data from the Finnish CRIME sample — a database of psychological tests and genetic material from 794 Finnish prisoners taken between 2010-2011.

    The findings of this study cannot be implemented for any prediction purposes, or brought into courthouses to be given any legal weight.

    Of the 794 prisoners, a full 568 screened positive for ASPD. By comparing that group's genetic material to a large control sample from the general population, the researchers identified a number of genes that may play a role in at least some ASPD cases

  3. The man accused of striking three police officers with his vehicle at a Phoenix QuikTrip early Tuesday has been identified as 44-year-old Marc LaQuon Payne.

    An angry Phoenix Police Chief Joe Yahner played a video showing a vehicle pulling out of a parking space, circling the parking lot and then accelerating toward the police officers outside the convenience store.

    In an early-afternoon press conference, Yahner said two officers were seriously injured and the driver will be booked on three charges of attempted first-degree murder.

    "I’m very proud of the men and women of the Phoenix Police Department, and I'm outraged by this incident," Yahner said.

    “Our Phoenix police officers were targeted."

  4. Why can't the WOC be promoted because she's the best one for the job? Outside of Teddy bringing up an instance which I agree isn't right, this doesn't happen so much that it actually puts a dent in what white men own.

    I posted it here a while ago, but it's like this. If you replaced every single white person with a POC, it's like 2% of the population is affected. I don't think anyone should be hired based on skin color but merit. But once again, this is what happens when your entire society's foundation is built on racism.

    And MLK fought for equal rights for everyone. I think we should all be judged as an individual, but when things like what was posted right below you are allowed, and the same folks who say they're against racism but stay silent, are part of the problem.

    So, let's see if anyone is going to step up and say this is wrong, because I'm pretty sure this is a ignorant and racist generalization.

    Oriz, you're up.

    Sorry marvin .. This you tube is right on and the BLM movement is the black version of the KKK

  5. there's no easy answer to the question of why some people end up in jails and prisons while others do not. It's a mathematical reality that the American criminal justice system disproportionately punishes poor people and black people for the same crimes as wealthier and white people.

    But at the same time, the population of people who end up in prison do share some traits. And scientists have now traced one common criminal trait to specific genes.

    Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is wildly overrepresented in prisons. Take a crowd of 100 people of the street, and chances are just one to three of them will have ASPD. Take 100 people from a prison, and you can expect 40 to 70 of them to have the disorder.

    That's significant, because ASPD has been linked with aggression, irritability, disregard for rules, disregard for other people, and dishonesty.

  6. Tent Cities Full Of Homeless People Are Booming In Cities All Over America As Poverty Spikes

    Just like during the last economic crisis, homeless encampments are popping up all over the nation as poverty grows at a very alarming rate. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, more than half a million people are homeless in America right now, but that figure is increasing by the day. And it isn’t just adults that we are talking about. It has been reported that that the number of homeless children in this country has risen by 60 percent since the last recession, and Poverty USA says that a total of 1.6 million children slept either in a homeless shelter or in some other form of emergency housing at some point last year. Yes, the stock market may have been experiencing a temporary boom for the last couple of years, but for those on the low end of the economic scale things have just continued to deteriorate.

  7. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau speaks about "diversity" at a gender-segregated mosque. Salutes "the sisters upstairs."

    As a lifelong liberal, I really struggle to understand the new left today.
    Gender segregation = "Sexism!"
    Calling out Islamist BS = "Xenophobia!"
    Excluding women = "Misogyny!"
    Calling out Islamist BS = "Islamophobia!"
    Refusing to acknowledge skin color as relevant = "Racism!"
    Holding people to different standards based on their imaginary "group identity' = 'Progressive.'
    Reminds me of when "small government conservatives" were hellbent on making laws banning gay marriage and pot smoking. It was easier when being liberal meant holding everyone to the same standard, period.
    Can't win nowadays.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    James Woolsey, who served as CIA director in President Bill Clinton’s administration, will serve Donald Trump as a senior adviser on national security, defense and intelligence, the campaign announced today.

    He seems to be very much more so than his opponent in favor of a strong defense budget and we have got a lot of space to make up, problems that have been left in defense by the Obama administration,” Woolsey said on CNN Monday, adding that Trump is more willing to keep classified information private.

    “He seems willing to keep a secret and not to blab everything to the public and our opponents. You can't go yakking about everything you're interested in. You have to keep your counsel," Woolsey said.

    Woolsey said on CNN Monday, adding that Trump is more willing to keep classified information private.

  10. Kaine: Clinton’s ‘deplorables’ characterization doesn’t merit an apology

    RICHMOND — Hillary Clinton’s assertion that half of Donald Trump’s supporters fit into a “basket of deplorables” is not something for which she needs to apologize, her Democratic running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), said Saturday in an interview.
