  1. Oops read Heroine wrong. Thought it read something else. Another chinese secret the Virginia rally was set up by antifa supporters. Some of the people on both sides rode the same bus into town according to one eyewitness who saw them offload together from the same bus. Google the coordinator and you will see he is one of Soros' boys.
  2. Back when Mosul Offensive was going on people said that the RV would not happen until ISIS was out of Iraq. Are they out of Iraq? They are not. Back then I stated there were other cities that need to be liberated after Mosul and pointed to Hiwaji <sp?> . That appeared to be the next move. I don't like to rehash what I have said in the past when it comes to this but maybe because Daesh/ISIS is not out of Iraq and still occupies its border with Syria and Turkey no RV has happened yet. People believed that after Mosul Daesh was out of Iraq. Far from it. The fight on the eastern front still is taking place. The fear is that if the Kurds do not stay in the fight, Iraq will be in a poor situation again, especially with Maliki holding onto vestiges of power in the upper echelon of the government. Until Maliki is removed from all semblances of power he will fight tooth and nail against Iraq and its RV. ISIS was removed from Raqqa their supposed home base. This is a different type of war we face, this isn't where they have uniforms and we have uniforms. They are dressed in civies and have been long before 9/11. Its how the civilian count creeped up during the Gulf Wars as the combatants could not be told from the civilians and thus civilian casualties mounted. Not to say they used women and children as shields and stupid Hollywood types perpetuated this by standing on bridges (Sean Penn). We should have just blown the bridge up! No more Sean Penn and the world would have been better for it. Daesh is not out of Iraq and won't be for a long time to come.
  3. The war with ISIS is not over. There was a report today saying there was a tape showing Al Bagdadi still alive.
  4. I believe the only Guru that matters - Abadi. - Ask the officials in the region where the money goes oil and they seized about 900 thousand barrels of oil per day, equivalent to a quarter of oil produced in the rest of Iraq .. Why pay the salaries of employees in the region, although reduced to the minimum levels with them On the quantities of oil much higher than the proportion of the population in the province compared to the rest of the cities of Iraq, while we are here in the center and despite the great economic difficulties and the cost of the high war did not lower salaries and did not stop. - These questions about the fate of the oil money of the region and the non-payment of salaries have been offered to the officials of the region several times, and directed the financial control bodies to do its duty, but, on the pretext of independence of the region, they reject the work of the oversight and integrity and consider it interference, while the real goal is to cover corruption and mismanagement. - Public funds shall not be the property of persons and parties and shall pay salaries and gifts to supporters and leave the rest of the citizens

  6. Playboy Bunny Ranch sells for $17.25 million By Jennifer Gould KeilPublished September 16, 2017 New York Post The property is directly across the street from the famed, former Playboy Mansion. (Jim Bartsch) The ranch-style home where Hugh Heffner’s voluptuous Playboy Bunnies once lived in luxury has been sold for $17.25 million, sources told the Post. The famed Playboy Bunny Ranch, which is directly across from the Playboy Mansion, was sold to an unidentified buyer, it was revealed Friday. The five bedroom residence features a “Fudgie the Whale”-shaped pool that comes with a “cascading rock waterfall,” according to a former listing. Expand / Collapse Playboy founder Hugh Hefner celebrating his 80th birthday in 2006 with Playmates Bridget Marquardt, Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson. Shielded behind gates and hedges, the ranch sits on 1.3 acres. Inside, it features a formal dining room, and a game room with a bar. Hugh Hefner sold the ranch in high powered Holmby Hills for $4.5 million in 2001 and it went on the market in 2013 for $11 million. WILL SMITH AND JADA PINKETT-SMITH SELL HAWAIIAN ESTATE FOR $12 MILLION The nearby Playboy Mansion had recently sold for $100 million to Daren Metropoulos, co-owner of Hostess Brands. Other neighbors on the famed street include Facebook’s founding president Sean Parker, who bought his home for $55 million from Ellen DeGeneris. Sean “Diddy” Combs paid $40 million for a mansion that comes with an underwater tunnel. Google’s Eric Schmidt also bought Gregory Peck’s estate from his widow, Veronique, for $22 million.

  7. What will happen on September 23, 2017?Same thing we do every night. Pinky. Try to take over the world.
  8. Apple is going to price themselves out of the market unless its competitors match price. And to capture the dissatisfied market with Apple's pricing their competitors should move in the opposite direction. Apple is a good product but better products have fallen due to pricing themselves out of the market.
  9. Yeah so? Many contractors work in the USA and don't apply for Visas. If he came to work here to install the network and did so illegally, back of the line bud. Many Americans could do that job. Having a STEM person from another country do it, means that an American was denied the opportunity. Have no sympathy for those who take American jobs or companies who do not hire Americans first and try to circumnavigate the laws in order to avoid hiring Americans. The CEOs who say they aren't skilled or experienced workers in the USA aqre lying. Consider this, an entry level coding position put up on a job search board requires 3 years experience minimum. That is mid level not entry level. So the companies are artificially conflating the issue by demanding a higher bar of experience than what the job requires. Entry level is 0 to 3 years of experience and does not start out at 3 to 5 years experience. Thus by doing this, the CEOs can say there is not experienced workers in America and we need to look elsewhere (to H1B and O1 visas). The problem with the H1B visa program is that the work history is not verified and resumes are falsified. When this is brought up to management, management says train them. Yeah, they got this job based off their credentials and yet their credentials are proven to be falsified. An American would lose their job but not an H1B Visa individual. No sympathy for those who come here illegally to work and denied a Visa. Had they gone through the proper channels, more power to them. This guy did not go through the proper channels and therefore he earned the denial.
  10. No. No. No. Black people cannot be racist! I've heard them tell that to me many many times./sarcasm
  11. Not a word of white nationalist gut before the election except the stint about how Trump didn't denigrate the KKK fast enough. Par for the course, Hitlary takes stock in which way the winds are blowing and attaches the narrative to her "oh woe is me" story. Hitlary and Gore will go down in history as the two biggest sore losers in American politics.
  12. His son committed suicide the day after Bolling resigned. Lets hope Bolling heads back to either commodities trading or OANN.
  13. And to top things of with a trifecta Hurricane Jose is doing clockwise loops in the Atlantic waiting for Irma to finish what she started. Coastal Watches/Warnings and Forecast Cone for Storm Center Forecast Length* Forecast Track Line Initial Wind Field Full Forecast 3 days On Off On Off * If the storm is forecast to dissipate within 3 days, the "Full Forecast" and "3 day" graphic will be identical About this product: This graphic shows an approximate representation of coastal areas under a hurricane warning (red), hurricane watch (pink), tropical storm warning (blue) and tropical storm watch (yellow). The orange circle indicates the current position of the center of the tropical cyclone. The black line, when selected, and dots show the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast track of the center at the times indicated. The dot indicating the forecast center location will be black if the cyclone is forecast to be tropical and will be white with a black outline if the cyclone is forecast to be extratropical. If only an L is displayed, then the system is forecast to be a remnant low. The letter inside the dot indicates the NHC's forecast intensity for that time: D: Tropical Depression – wind speed less than 39 MPH S: Tropical Storm – wind speed between 39 MPH and 73 MPH H: Hurricane – wind speed between 74 MPH and 110 MPH M: Major Hurricane – wind speed greater than 110 MPH NHC tropical cyclone forecast tracks can be in error. This forecast uncertainty is conveyed by the track forecast "cone", the solid white and stippled white areas in the graphic. The solid white area depicts the track forecast uncertainty for days 1-3 of the forecast, while the stippled area depicts the uncertainty on days 4-5. Historical data indicate that the entire 5-day path of the center of the tropical cyclone will remain within the cone about 60-70% of the time. To form the cone, a set of imaginary circles are placed along the forecast track at the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h positions, where the size of each circle is set so that it encloses 67% of the previous five years official forecast errors. The cone is then formed by smoothly connecting the area swept out by the set of circles. It is also important to realize that a tropical cyclone is not a point. Their effects can span many hundreds of miles from the center. The area experiencing hurricane force (one-minute average wind speeds of at least 74 mph) and tropical storm force (one-minute average wind speeds of 39-73 mph) winds can extend well beyond the white areas shown enclosing the most likely track area of the center. The distribution of hurricane and tropical storm force winds in this tropical cyclone can be seen in the Wind History graphic linked above. Considering the combined forecast uncertainties in track, intensity, and size, the chances that any particular location will experience winds of 34 kt (tropical storm force), 50 kt, or 64 kt (hurricane force) from this tropical cyclone are presented in tabular form for selected locations and forecast positions. This information is also presented in graphical form for the 34 kt, 50 kt, and 64 kt thresholds. Note: A detailed definition of the NHC track forecast cone is also available.
  14. 29 of the Best Politically Incorrect Vietnam War Slang Terms TOPICS:Vietnam FacebookTwitterPrintEmailMore POSTED BY: JAMES BARBER SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 BY BLAKE STILWELL – WEARETHEMIGHTY.COM Every generation of veterans has its own slang. The location of deployed troops, their mission, and their allies all make for a unique lingo that can be pretty difficult to forget. American troops in Vietnam (Pixabay) That same vernacular isn’t always politically correct. It’s still worth looking at the non-PC Vietnam War slang used by troops while in country because it gives an insight into the endemic and recurring problems they faced at the time. Here are some of the less-PC terms used by American troops in Vietnam. Barbecue from a “Zippo Monitor” in Vietnam. (Wikimedia Commons) Barbecue – Armored Cavalry units requesting Napalm on a location. Bong Son Bomber – Giant sized joint or marijuana cigarette. Breaking Starch – Reference to dressing with a new set of dry cleaned or heavily starched fatigues. Charles – Formal for “Charlie” from the phonetic “Victor Charlie” abbreviation of Viet Cong. Charm School – Initial training and orientation upon arrival in-country. Cherry – Designation for new replacement from the states. Also known as the FNG (f*cking new guy), fresh meat, or new citizens. Coka Girl – a Vietnamese woman who sells everything except “boom boom” to GIs. “Coka” comes from the Vietnamese pronunciation of Coca-Cola, and “boom boom” can be left to your imagination. Disneyland Far East – Headquarters building of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. It comes from “Disneyland East,” aka the Pentagon. Donut Dolly – The women of the American Red Cross. The Donut Dollies. (From “Cherries: A Vietnam War Novel”) Fallopian tubing for inside the turrets of tanks – Prank used by tankers to send Cherries on a wild goose chase Flower Seeker – Originated from Vietnamese newspapers; describing men looking for prostitutes. Heads – Troops who used illicit drugs like marijuana. Ho Chi Minh Road Sticks – Vietnamese sandals made from old truck tires. Ho Chi Minh Road Sticks (from “Cherries: A Vietnam War Novel”) Idiot Stick – Either a rifle or the curved yoke used by Vietnamese women to carry two baskets or water buckets. Indian Country – Area controlled by Charlie, also known as the “Bush” or the “Sh*t.” Juicers – Alcoholics. Little People – Radio code for ARVN soldiers. Mad Minute – Order for all bunkers to shoot across their front for one minute to test fire weapons and harass the enemy. Marvin the Arvin – Stereotypical South Vietnamese Army soldier, similar to a Schmuckatelli. The name comes from the shorthand of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam – ARVN. Number-One GI– A troop who spends a lot of money in Vietnam. Number-Ten GI – A troop who barely spends money in Vietnam. Ok Sahlem – Term American soldiers had for villagers’ children who would beg for menthol cigarettes. Real Life – Also known as Civilian Life; before the war or before the draft. Remington Raider – Derogatory term, like the modern-day “Fobbit,” For anyone who manned a typewriter. Re-Up Bird – The Blue Eared Barbet, a jungle bird whose song sounds like “Re-Up.” “Squaaaaak! Talk to your retention counselor! Squaaaaaaak!” Search and Avoid – A derogatory term for an all-ARVN mission. Voting Machine – The nickname given to ARVN tanks because they only come out during a coup d’etat. Zippo Raids– Burning of Vietnamese villages.

  15. Not fake news at all. As I know several people instrumental in getting the entire family back home and doing the fundraising for this. So call fake news all you want and you be wrong all you want. This happened just like the article stated. It's one to be outside of the story and another to be a part of it while it's happening.
  16. Everything you touch, everything you do, everything you rely on has an oil related component beyond transportation. Oil is such a vital integral part of all technologies (technologies does not just refer to computers) we could not function as a society today without it. Oil is so deeply embedded into the infrastructure of our lives removing it completely would make the world come to a standstill. Think about this, before we extracted that bubbling crude from the ground, we used various other types of oil, olive oil, whale oil etc., for various technologies going all the way back to the BC era. You think I exaggerate, name a product, any product, that is used today and you can find a non-transportation component of oil used in the creation and/or use of that product. To say oil is only used in transportation is so banal that people would believe anything. We will never get rid of oil even if we eliminate it from its transportation use.
  17. If the dinar were to rv at any amount as a float and there was a run on the banks, this could cause a dip (a sharp dip, in all likelihood) initially in the price point. Better to let the run happen and wait out for the currency to move upwards again using Fibonacci to gauge where the price point is headed, provided you are at the bottom of the dip, before the price drops again.
  18. It's the whiners and complainers that get left behind... sorry you got left behind because all you do is whine and complain about Trump. It's a new world get used to it or get off the train. Radio Shack still exists? Whiners and complainers...like the NFL stars (if you want to call them that), Kap who others demand to be put on a roster but yet he whines and complains during the Anthem, when looking at his stats shows he is a mediocre player at best. Kap couldn't do anything for the 49'ers (some of the worst plays in 49ers history where when Kap was at the helm) . Where was all the support for Tebow who was a much better QB stat wise than Kap. Ah so the complainer, Kap, got left behind as he is yet to grace an NFL roster. Or the player who came out and never to be seen or heard from again on the NFL roster. See how that works. The NFL is a business and businesses and franchises have brands, when the brand is damaged then the business must reformulate and remove that which is damaging the brand. Kap was damaging the brand and all players who kneel are damaging the franchise brand. NFL had a dismal opener since 2009 and most have claimed to stop watching/supporting it because the denigration of America by players who get paid more than the people they are denigrating. The NFL is going to denigrate itself out of relevance in America, which is what the left wants anyways, because its players are damaging the brand which used to be very patriotic and that has since slipped. One thing that will always remain true of this country, you mess with the patriotism of Americans and you will slowly removed from the limelight and wonder what happened. Kap will not be heard from again in five years. It won't be because of football if he does get mentioned. More like he will be arrested for drugs or robbed a liquor store like other NFL washouts have made the news for. Yeah the country keeps moving...in the wrong direction.
  19. What is a "passing fade" is that like Moochelle's bbq ribs she tells everyone else not to eat but eats them every chance she gets, they pass in front of her and fade into existence?
  20. Your comeback is about as good as Maliki's. Save the routine, because you so bad that you are in a dead heat with Maliki.
