On the election, Trump, the future of the Left, and politics in general. Give the old guy a few minutes of your time, if you can.

The Fading Glory of Bowling

Fading maybe, but still the most popular participant sport in the US. A fine thing about bowling is that you can join in even if you are terrible at it.  Where I grew up, bowling was a routine winter Saturday night outing. Very popular for kids' birthday parties too. In summer, old Italian guys would do their lawn bowling game in the parks.

A brief history of bowling. Martin Luther was a fan.

As far as I know, there was never any "hacked election."  That is complete bullshit, a non-story. The story is the non-story.  All I know is that Podesta got stupidly hacked from a phishing effort which resulted in some embarassment, and rightly so, to him and his team. All of the wikileaks info was true and accurate, and nobody disputes that.

Powerline asks  Who in the United States intelligence community has created the hysteria about Russian hacking, and what is the evidence of means and motive?

I like this: Trump Doubles Down: "Are We Talking About Same Cyberattack That Revealed Illegal DNC Coordination"

Whatever went on - if anything - it's just ordinary spy games that all spies play. Putin is still reportedly pissed about the CIA messing with his last election. How's this:

Come on, America. It is time for normality. A tune for the Hillary-bereft:

A commenter on Russian Hacking Hysteria -The Left can't stop blaming the vast Russian conspiracy:

They tried many things, such as:

1) Rioting on the streets
2) Intimidating Electoral College Voters (ECVs)
3) Still trying to persuade ECVs to change their votes
4) Demanded vote recounts
5) Blamed Fake News for their humiliating defeat
6) They labelled people as Alt-Right and K K K
7) Are now blaming hacking by the Russian government.

What will be next?

I have seen that eye-roll that he refers to, too many times. It's infuriating. If you want to see it, ask somebody if they have considered how much global warming would benefit the earth, and humans too.

This is the most cruel and insensitive piece I can find: Laughing At Liberals As They Lose Their Minds.

It's not cool to laugh at half the voters. The article is amusing, however.

From a commenter to a WaPo piece:

Here's what I told my 15 year old daughter: "Hillary's loss does not mean that your hopes and aspirations can't be fulfilled. And the path that Hillary blazed is still the best path for achieving those hopes and aspirations. So go to college, find a man who is bright and engaging and ambitious. Do everything you can to help him reach those ambitions. Stick with that husband, no matter how badly he treats you, because it is through his successes (and the credit that you deserve for those successes) that you can achieve your own success. "
