Feminists should worry less about being triggered and more about being harpooned.

Was It Something She Said In Her Secret Speeches?
Goldman Sachs bans employee donations to Trump, not ClintonNah. That would be dishonest.
Apparently Hillary Even Needs Help Lying
Was Hillary Wearing an Earpiece During Last Night’s Presidential Forum?Well, it's technology so she probably doesn't know how to work it.
Conservative actor James Woods: "She can't even lie without help"
BIG NEW WALL
UK to build 'big new wall' in Calais to stop migrantsHey, remember back when Greece didn't get the bailout it wanted, and threatened to flood Europe with immigrants? I sure do. Good times, eh?
Post-Brexit Economics
Boon to Britain; Stagnation to EU
Brexit 'shock' threatens to do far more damage to the European economy than to BritainIt's best to get off a ship run by fools.
"The upshot is that despite the turmoil of the last several months, it is now eminently possible that Britain will show a higher rate of growth in the post-Brexit third quarter than the Eurozone. Few if any would have predicted such an outcome.
The British economy sails on as if nothing has happened, but the European one continues to stagnate. It is as if the Brexit shock has been more powerfully felt in Europe than in Britain. Both France and Italy showed no growth at all in the second quarter, and now even the data from Germany is starting to look poor.
That the Eurozone economy is still struggling after everything that has been thrown at it almost beggars belief. In terms of stimulus, it is hard to know how much more of a following wind the euro area could have had. It’s been positively gale force. Austerity has been effectively ended, interest rates have been cut below zero, the economy has been flooded with newly printed money, the euro was devalued and to cap it all, there has been the monumental boost to disposable incomes provided by the low oil price.
ECB The Eurozone economy is still struggling
Yet still the European economy is struggling to raise itself from its sick bed. The danger is that the depression gripping large parts of Europe has gone on for so long now that they have lost the capacity to mend, a phenomenon known as hysteresis.
All this suggests that the problem with the European economy is not so much the European Union as such as its experiment in monetary union. Europe is stuck in an economic funk of its own making, where politically it can neither move forward with the sort of institutions and policies that might in the long run make the single currency work, nor backwards to the restoration of flexible exchange rates and sovereign monetary policy."

Billionaires, Tribalism, Darwinism, and Hillaryism
When you think of it doesn't it seem odd that the new billionaire class are nearly all very Leftist? Why would they not prefer liberty, small government, and individual rights?
In reading through the analyses of what constitutes the essence of the Alt-Right, I disagree with only a few points. The main point is that politics has shifted focus from ideology to identity, which of course, it has. But not at the fundamental level, I argue. At the fundamental level it long has been, and remains, money driven, power driven. How does the Left benefit from fragmentation into tribes? It's a bet, based on demographics which the Left has driven hard to work in their favor. The tribes to which they pander are growing in size, aided by open borders and midnight transfer of illegal aliens into all corners of the nation. Those tribes will be unconcerned with the US Constitution, with any reference to pay for value produced (economic considerations), yet will appreciate being accepted into the Leftist tribe, even if only on paper. History will play no part in any decision made by these insurgent tribes, because they bring their own history and it dominates their axioms, presuppositions and worldviews.
The new tribes will be agglomerated at election time by the promises and fear mongering of the politicians. When the overall Leftist tribal conglomerate is large enough, it will secure the power of the pay-to-play crony power structure which the Left has constructed and used against Mainstreet for decades.
So the tribalism tactic is now the "Will To Power" driving factor used by the Left. As they say, if the electorate doesn't support you, then get a new electorate. But tribalism in politics, law and culture is merely the tactic. The goal is always "Will To Power".
It became obvious to the wealthy that the US Government was for sale, through such arrangements as PACs and the Clinton Foundation. The billionaire found that the full force of the executive branch could be his for a trivial few million dollars. The force multiplication factor is huge; what money chaser could resist? In fact, if he did resist, his competitor would use it to destroy him. So when the government is corrupt to its core, the corruption of the movers and shakers is inevitable.
As the Left promotes tribalism, it decries any tribalistic vibrations from its enemies. The pretense that tribalism is evil is part of their borderless, multi-culti, egalitarian, biased trade treaties, and international law over constitution type of agenda. It's all driven by the siren song of wealth/power, and was fully predicted by Nietzsche.
Speaking of Nietzsche, it is obvious that nearly all philosophers of the day are Nietzscheans at their core value level. Why? Well, it is obvious that the money flow from government to university is now huge, with student debt for government loans covering outrageous tuitions financing these institutions in their glorious infrastructures. So tribalism in the universities is expected in return, and the marxists crowding the universities fit right into the overall scheme. How much more entrenched would it become if "free government paid higher education" became standard?
Is there a connection from all this co-dependent corruption to Darwinism? Of course, for two reasons. First Darwinism insists that fantasy is fact, that fantasy is science and knowledge so long as the right experts say so. That means that any story concocted by the right experts can be decreed as true. Second, Darwinism requires that humans are accidents of trivial value, meaning the morality is also trivial and only valid when it is useful. There is no need for God in their calculations, and in fact, there calculations work better without any God. Or morality from authorities other than themselves. Third, history is malleable, facts are malleable, and any contradictions are put straight into the memory hole and covered with mountains of denial.
It's all interrelated; it's all anti-rational; it's here, in spades. It all comes together under Hillary; it should be called Hillaryism.

Beyond Incompetent; Far, Far Beyond
EmailGate and the Mystery of the Missing GAMMAMuch more at the SITE
Hillary Clinton’s 'unclassified' email included highly classified NSA information—why didn’t the FBI mention this fact?
"Last week’s Federal Bureau of Investigation release of materials relating to their investigation of Hillary Clinton has reignited the political firestorm surrounding EmailGate. How the Democratic nominee mishandled her emails while she was secretary of state is again front-page news, which is bad news for Hillary. Particularly because the FBI’s data dump demonstrates clearly that Clinton is either dumb or dishonest—and perhaps both.
Although Team Clinton has responded in their customary fashion, with lawyerly lies and evasions—nothing was “marked” classified, this is really about over-classification, classification is too complex for anybody to understand anyway—the FBI’s assessment has thoroughly debunked all of them. Hillary’s professed inability to even recognize classified information, thinking the C (for Confidential) meant alphabetical order, will now enter the pantheon of laughable Clinton infamy, alongside her husband’s debating the meaning of “is” while under oath.
The Bureau’s assessment establishes once and for all that there was classified information—and lots of it—on Hillary’s email server and bunches of Blackberries, many of which she lost. In fact, the FBI concluded that roughly 2,000 of her “unclassified” emails included information that was Confidential, the lowest level of classification.
The FBI examined 81 Clinton email chains, determining that they included classified information relating to the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, NSA, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency or NGA. In other words, Hillary compromised classified materials representing the full range of American espionage: human intelligence or HUMINT from CIA, signals intelligence or SIGINT from NSA, and imagery intelligence or IMINT from NGA.
Of those 81 classified email chains, the FBI assessed that 37 of them included Secret information while eight included Top Secret information. Worse, seven email chains included Special Access Program or SAP information, which is tightly protected by the Intelligence Community and shared on a restricted, need-to-know basis only.
Three more email chains contained Sensitive Compartmented Information or SCI, which was almost certainly SIGINT from NSA. SCI always requires special protection and handling. In fact, you’re only allowed to access it inside a specially-built Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, a SCIF (pronounced “skiff”) in spy-speak. Any exposure of SCI brings severe penalties—at least if you’re not named Clinton.
It’s nice to see the FBI finally confirm just how much highly classified information got exposed here, but I reported this many months ago from Intelligence Community sources, including that Hillary’s “unclassified” emails included Top Secret SAP information from CIA and Top Secret SCI information from NSA.
Which leads to a troubling matter: What the FBI did not mention in its big data dump on EmailGate."
University Equates Gorilla With Blacks
UMass RA's rail against 'crude' Harambe references
Over the Labor Day weekend, Resident Assistants at the University of Massachusetts purportedly released an announcement stating that “crude” references to the deceased gorilla Harambe will be considered racist attacks against African Americans.
Demand For Voluntary Black Segregation is Served
Cal State LA offers segregated housing for black students
"Cal State LA joins UConn, UC Davis and Berkeley in offering segregated housing dedicated to black students. While these housing options are technically open to all students, they’re billed and used as arrangements in which black students can live with one another.

Meanwhile, at Cal State LA, campus leaders took down much of the online information on the new housing that it posted in late July. And university housing officials and other campus officials rebuffed requests by The College Fix for more details.
If campus leaders are proud of the new housing, they appear disinclined to talk "
Shut It Down!! He’s getting a shawl!
Why would we possibly need alternative media when we have the MSM?
The MSM will not be reporting on their own behaviors. So go ahead; depend on the MSM if you don't want to know.
“Shut it Down!”: Reuters Orders Cameraman to Kill Positive Trump FootageOf course the black community is NOT captive to Leftist lies. Except that they just exactly are.
Shock example of media censorship caught on tape
A shock example of anti-Trump media censorship was caught on tape when Reuters ordered its cameraman to cut live footage of Trump receiving praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit.
The incident occurred as Jackson presented Trump with a shawl, a bible, and offered his prayers as the black audience cheered and clapped.
Perhaps aware of the devastating impact the optics of this moment would have on the media’s efforts to demonize Trump as a racist bigot, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!”
The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?”
“Shut it down,” insists the director,” followed by another voice asking, “Shut this down?”
“Yes Michael, do it,” orders the director.
We then hear the word “blackout” and the camera shakes before the live feed is cut.
“Reuters was primary video feed for the event, all other video delivery services were coming from the Reuters feed. When Reuters shut down, all other outlets lost the broadcast,” reports the Conservative Treehouse.
Right Side Broadcasting responded to the controversy by offering the cameraman a job, promising to pay him much more than Reuters.
The MSM will not be reporting on their own behaviors. So go ahead; depend on the MSM if you don't want to know.

No One Ever Ever EVER Could Have Predicted This....Right?
Riiight.
U.S. investigating potential covert Russian plan to disrupt November electionsIt's all part of Hillary's Reset/Smart Diplomacy. She gave Russia all that uranium, and Putin owes her.
Actvity At Gaia Site
I have issued a challenge to an Atheist commenter at Gaia. He showed up here as "anonymous" and then ran off. I have decided to debate Atheism with him over there. Here's the address: CHALLENGE TO ATHEIST So far he has not shown up, even though the challenge was issued in his comment chain at a different thread. He told me to go away, set up another topic thread. And I did. Now it's up to him. He's fond of not having to defend Atheism by saying merely that it is nothing. It has no content, and thus can't be debated - as I understand his position.
If that link doesn't work for you, let me know.

Social Security
"Young Chuck, moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, “Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.”
Chuck replied, “Well, then just give me my money back.”
The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I spent it already.”
Chuck said, “Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.”
The farmer asked, “What ya gonna do with him?”
Chuck said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
Chuck said, “Sure I can Watch me.. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, “What happened with that dead donkey?”
Chuck said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.”
The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Chuck said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.”
Chuck now works for the government, in the Social Security Administration."
