Open House

And feast your eyes on this-

A shiny new Woodpile report is up

The Quote of the Day comes from Brett Stevens over at Amerika:

Civilizations fail because they succeed. When they get wealthy and powerful, they start trying to make themselves “safe” and in doing so, breed a bumper crop of idiots. These idiots form an Idiot Defense League which demands democracy, and at that point the deal is sealed: the society will go down and die in the pocket, going to bed as an empire and waking up as a third-world slum.

November 8,2016

That date will be a test,the result of that test will determine whether we succeed or fail,where there are enough of us or too many of them.I’m not going to let my guard down or my hopes get too high,but there are slivers of light shining around the edges of of the current storm clouds.One of them is what appears to be a major mis-calculation of Trump’s base-

From the New York Post-

“These Trump supporters are not the kind you find on Twitter saying dumb or racist things; many of them don’t have the time or the patience to engage in social media because they are too busy working and living life in real time.

These are voters who are intellectually offended watching the Affordable Care Act crumble because they warned six years ago that it was an unworkable government overreach.”

I hope and pray that what Trump has done is awaken a sleeping giant

Whodda thunk it?

“Report shows no group of Americans are more law abiding than concealed carry holders”

PJ Media has it-

“We find that permit holders are convicted of misdemeanors and felonies at less than a sixth the rate for police officers,” the report says. “Among police, firearms violations occur at a rate of 16.5 per 100,000 officers. Among permit holders in Florida and Texas, the rate is only 2.4 per 100,000.10. That is just one-seventh of the rate for police officers.”

  • Modifications and task orders were awarded to a company owned by the spouse of the State Department official managing the $52 million contract. The contract’s file was missing documentation reflecting those modifications and task orders, an IG investigation uncovered.
  • A State Department contracting officer on a contract valued at $100 million falsified technical review information and provided the contractor with advance pricing information.
  • Forty-eight of the 82 files the IG reviewed related to $2.1 billion in contracts supporting the U.S. mission in Iraq lacked required documentation.
  • None of the files reviewed by the IG for eight contracts issued by the department’s Bureau of African Affairs and valued at $34.8 million contained required documentation.
