Love reading the articles and links and always thankful for what y'all do but I'm very skeptical of anything from the Washington Post or NY Times or any MSM outlet.
for instance the Polish article. Wonder if they would be so upset if a Far Left group had more power. Doubt it.
Thanks again for all you do. I try to tell lots of people about the page. Just wish there was a tip jar somewhere to help pay for things.

Basically, anything that reports an "anonymous" or "unnamed" source you can pretty much assume is fake. If a source is not identified, that means neither the "source" nor the media has the integrity to stand behind the story, so it is worthless.

Jim: Basically, anything that reports an "anonymous" or "unnamed" source you can pretty much assume is fake. If a source is not identified, that means neither the "source" nor the media has the integrity to stand behind the story, so it is worthless.

That is overly broad. There is a difference between being skeptical of anonymous sourcing and simply rejecting it as false.

Journalists develop relationships with people in government. Quite often those sources have ulterior motives, but even then, the information may be accurate. It is quite possible for journalists to be played (e.g. aluminum tubes and Iraq), but other times, anonymous sourcing has revealed information of some importance to the public (e.g. Deep Throat). There are legitimate reasons why sources don't want to be named, and journalists have to evaluate the trustworthiness of their sources.

Generally, the greater the number of independent sources, the more specified the source, the more reliable the information tends to be. The track record of the journalist or media outlet should also be considered; for instance, do they retract a story when it is shown to be false? Listen to the response to the story. If the denials are vague or non-responsive, it suggests that the story is close to the truth.

Yep, and he's voluntarily testifying to the Sente committee.

Meanwhile, Glenn Simpson, whose Fusion GPS firm has been tied to anti-Trump efforts and pro-Russian lobbying, will not talk to lawmakers in response to a subpoena, the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committe said Friday.
"Simpson's attorney has asserted that his client will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to the subpoena," Grassley and Feinstein said.

drowningpuppies: Yep, and he's voluntarily testifying to the Sente committee.

The claim was that anonymous leaks should be considered false, when, in fact, the leaks have largely been true, especially on the broad story. And the leaks have forced the Trump Administration to slowly admit to facts once those facts can no longer be denied. In particular, they had claimed for months that there were no contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians, and that was just not true.

So far there is no evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, that any collusion occurred.

" ‘Buy American’ has little meaning in today’s world of globalized supply chains." There is a lot of truth in this and it has been true for a long time.

Take it from someone who had the aggravation of dealing with Conflict Minerals legislation. The last thing you want is "Made in America" legislation that is the equivalent of Conflict Minerals, in regards to paper work. OTOH, like Conflict Minerals, it would create a new consulting industry and a lot of fake useless make work paper shuffling jobs (albeit of the electronic kind).

"A Word of Thanks from a welfare recipient"

It is a good thing that people like this feel empowered to use youtube to express their feelings. There are still too many people who buy the left wing meme that welfare is necessary to help the poor and feed the hungry. It's not. Welfare is and always was a simple trade of free stuff for votes. That is bad enough and reason enough to end it but it is so much worse as this woman demonstrates. It turns them into useless, uneducated, unproductive dregs of humanity. What the left does to the welfare underclass for their votes is inhumane and should end. It is the modern version of slavery and is disgusting.

There will always be an underclass and if we must help them than we must do it in a way that improves their lives and not destroys it. Replace welfare with workfare. Allow them to know the satisfaction of working productively and to learn what it takes to survive and become self sufficient. Save their children from being raised by these human throwbacks and instead give them real parents and role models to grow up with.

#5 GoneWithTheWind on 2017-07-24 10:42 (Reply)

workfare = job. I'm all for it. I'm all for charity. I am totally against any kind of welfare or subsidies. They are just a way of enslaving working people for the benefit of those who don't work. Why should we expect people who got that deal to have any respect for their slaves. They enslaved the rest of us and didn't even have to spend a dime. The slave owners of old didn't even get that deal!

In other words, you can't explain why it's a problem that the U.S. provided Russia with a ten-gram sample in order to determine the source of the stolen material.

Russia manufactures its own highly enriched uranium, with stockpiles of about 679 tonnes.

#7.1.1 Zachriel on 2017-07-24 13:09 (Reply)

Lets see... Compare a secret meeting to deliver uranium to our avowed enemy vs Trump telling a joke about the Russians having Hillary's emails... Hmmmmm! I can't decide which is worse. Of course knowing the back story that Hillary sold off 25% of the U.S. uranium supply to Russia for a huge kickback which the Clinton's money laundered does kinda tip the scale towards the dirt bag Hillary.

I have an idea! Let's appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary's/Bill's crimes and set no limits into what they investigate. Someone like Judge Jeanine Pirro who would no doubt be scrupulously honest (as opposed to Mueller who is clearly biased and out to unconstitutionally overthrow an elected president).

I like it. Trump should fire back. Hell he should get a prosecutor to investigate Obama too and Rice and Eric Holder and other's on his staff/cabinet. A dozen special prosecutors, maybe two dozen. Fight fire with fire.

The transfer of the uranium was due to cooperation between Russian, Georgian, and U.S. law enforcement, and entirely appropriate.

Katy Tur asked whether Trump had "any qualms" about asking a foreign government to hack into a U.S. system. Trump said, "Nope. If they have them, they have them. Trump wasn't kidding.

Which "U.S. system?" You mean there could have been a "U.S. system" that contained subpoenaed information (Hillary's deleted emails) that the FBI was trying to find other than Hillary's private email server that the FBI had? Since the FBI had the server, it was offline and therefore not "hackable."

This is one of the more stupid attack lines the Democrats and their sycophants have advanced.

As we know that the Russians hacked the DNC, it is possible they also had already hacked the Clinton server. Trump was clearly asking for the Russians to release emails they had stolen.

In the first place, you are taking Crowdstrike's word that it was the Russians. They were hired by the DNC and neither of us know the actual details of their agreement. The DNC hasn't allowed the FBI or any intelligence agencies to inspect their server which is suspicious. Without independent corroboration, especially from the FBI or an intelligence agency (which was under Democratic control) Crowdstrike's report doesn't actually shed any light on the situation.

In the second place:

Inviting an adversarial foreign power to interfere in a U.S. election by releasing emails they stole is a threat to U.S. sovereignty and to its democratic institutions.

You are being inconsistent. Your question presupposed Russian interference.

Whether the U.S. election was fair and open (though not its legality) is still a question under investigation. We know a foreign adversarial government surreptitiously interfered in the election. What is not known is how far they infiltrated into the Trump campaign. However, we do know that senior members of the Trump campaign met with Russians closely associated with the Kremlin as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump".

The reason this is important is because there is every indication that the Russians will continue to use cyber-warfare against democratic countries, including against the U.S. and Europe, an attack on sovereignty and a threat to democratic institutions. The Trump Administration is ignoring the importance of this issue, leaving the U.S. and its allies vulnerable to further attack.

We now the Russians were the source of the hacks of the DNC, which they were using to interfere with the election. There is evidence they were also probing voter ballot systems. We also now know that Trump Jr. was willing to collude with the Russian government.

"iGen is also growing up more slowly than previous generations: eighteen-year-olds look and act like fifteen-year-olds used to."

Interesting. My friend has a daughter who is 14 and I am frequently struck by her lack of development (very sheltered, emotionally immature, no interest in dating, never done any paid work). Her behavior and reactions are those that I would consider to be that of a twelve-year-old. It's like she should be entering seventh grade instead of starting high school in a few weeks.

I always just thought that it was due to poor parenting (Mom and Dad are her 'friends'), but apparently it's a much larger thing. Or maybe there's just a lot of really poor parenting going on.

With regard to the admissions lottery idea, I've actually thought for several years that a lottery might be a fairer system than that currently employed by elite universities as a means of selecting applicants. My aim in arguing for that--unlike the professor cited in the article above--is NOT to do away with merit as a criteria, but rather to create more transparency in the process.

In other words, rather than awarding people extra points for "cultural diversity" (or whatever the current fashionable trend may be at the moment), admissions offices would have to set concrete minimum standards for admissions.

For example, imagine if an admissions office spelled out clearly: you must have a GPA of at least X, your course work must include so many credits in these fields and we expect they would include at least so from among the following AP courses, your SAT score needs to at least be in this range, and you must meet certain requirements in terms of extracurricular activities.

This article from the Atlantic a few years ago makes a similar point, as do the comments by Jeff G. and Larry K. beneath it.

SAT score. That's what prevents your idea from becoming a reality.

Don't expect this to change.

#11.1 Assistant Village Idiot (Link) on 2017-07-24 21:58 (Reply)

I imagine you are referring to the fact that members of certain minority groups would have a dearth of scores over that threshold, whereas some groups (Asians) are over-represented at the high end of the score distribution. Of course the logic behind the sort of lottery I describe is that either the school would set the cut-off high enough so as to eliminate a number of applicants, or they'd have to acknowledge that students with a much lower score than they like to report are routinely admitted on the basis of ethnic status or because they check off one box or another (athletes, etc.).

Of course, they could do what one of the commenters on the Atlantic article suggests and have a sliding scale linking grades and SAT scores with a certain admissions percentage, but then, of course, they'd probably still end up admitting fewer members of the minority groups they want because many more students would be deemed qualified.
