California Democrats legalize child prostitution

California Democrats legalize child prostitution: Beginning on Jan. 1, prostitution by minors will be legal in California. Yes, you read that right. SB 1322 bars law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the intent to do so. So teenage girls (and boys) in California will soon be free to have sex in exchange for money without fear of arrest or prosecution. This terribly destructive legislation was written and passed by the progressive Democrats who control California's state government with a two-thirds supermajority. To their credit, they are sincere in their belief that decriminalizing underage prostitution is good public policy that will help victims of sex trafficking. Unfortunately, the reality is that the legalization of underage prostitution suffers from the fatal defect endemic to progressive-left policymaking: it ignores experience, common sense and most of all human nature — especially its darker side.

Traitors Within - Spies Who Sold Out America

My guess is that the political left in the US eill engage in treason again to try and foil Mr Trump

The Electorial College


Have you ever wondered why the US has an electoral college?

Here is one reason.

Just for reference - Guam (Where I live) is a small island in the middle of the Pacific with a total of 212 Square miles so the 255 approximate square miles that make up four of the five counties of NYC that Mrs Clinton won are only about 35 to 45 square miles larger than Guam though the population here is only about 170,000 and NYC has a population of millions.


There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Mr. Trump won 3,084 of them; Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State and Mr Trump won 46 of them; Clinton won 16. We will look only at 4 of the 5 heavily populated counties in and around NYC. This was one of the states she did better and represents about 28% of the counties she won.

Ignoring the voter fraud which which is always committed by democrats and assume that every vote was honest with no votes by dead people, illegal aliens and that nobody voted more than once and accept the claim that Mrs Clinton won the popular vote by just over 1.5 million votes. She received well over 2 million more votes than Mr Trump in just the 5 counties that make up NYC. (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens. Clinton won only 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond.) Therefore, these 4 counties alone more than accounted for Mrs Clinton's edge in the popular vote in the nation at large.

These 5 counties occupy about 319 square miles, if you subtract Richmond which Mr Trump won you get about 255 square miles. This is a tiny area, not much larger than Guam, when you consider that the United States covers almost 3.8 million square miles.

When you have a country of almost 4 million square miles it would be manifestly unjust to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 255 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election and its effect on the rest of the country. I think that NYC actually needs the rest of country far more than the rest of the country needs NYC.

Happy Trumpgiving

I have read several of these the past few days and they are all wrong. (At least in my opinion) This one is giving advice to conservatives talking to leftist family members and is a little more sane but is still wrong and the ones dealing with the leftist college student going home to Trump supporting family are just a bit to histrionic. So in an attempt to set the record straight let me make a few suggestions for the special snowflake, SJW going home for Trumpgiving.

1. Be gracious. Many of the articles like this I've read start off with a person saying something like; "How can I sit there in a room when I know that they voted for such and evil man? Why are my family such bigots? I'm ashamed of them. I just wish I didn't have to go!" Two things. One you are proving you are not as multicultural as you think you are. If all cultures are equal and should be celebrated then you should accept your relatives point of view and enjoy the meal. Just don't talk about politics. If someone ask simply say "I don't want to talk about it today." Two, the family members probably feel the same way about your politics as you do theirs. They still invited you. Ipso facto they are exhibiting more tolerance to your views than you are to theirs since they want you there and are you are wishing you didn't have to go. So buck up buttercup! Graciousness goes along way.

2. Remember Godwin's Law: "The first person to call the other a NAZI or racist loses the argument. Really, your family, unless they are way, way, way out there harbor no ill feeling for people with different skin pigmentation. They probably want everyone to do well and wouldn't mind them living next door so long as they keep the lawn mowed and don't throw parties more than once a year or so. Trying to make arcane and ultimately, nonsensical (At least to them) arguments about "White Privilege" or "Structural Racism" are both inflammatory and insulting to people that actually remember the bad old days of Jim Crow and lynchings. To have a 2nd year college student (Or even a grad student) tell them that they need to feel guilty for being Caucasian or middle class is simply insulting. Bite your tongue or better yet read some real history and admit how far the US has come in race relations.

3. Learn a little humility. Realize that you may be wrong about some things. You don't have all the answers any more than your family does.

4. Be Honest with Yourself. Realize that Mrs Clinton was a horribly flawed candidate in many ways. Admit you see her short comings. She was a candidate that has been hounded by at least 15 scandal since the 1970's. These were not simply creations of some vast right wing conspiracy. If you are honest you will realize that you supported Mrs Clinton IN SPITE of her flaws which are easily as great as Mr Trump's because of the platform she espoused. You should give your family the same right a flawed candidate because of the platform.

5. Understand that the democrats have nobody to blame for Mr Trump than themselves. My figures may be slightly off as some states have just gotten their final vote tally but basically Mr Trump received about 750,000 fewer votes on average than either John McCain or Mitt Romney. Mrs Clinton received about 8 million fewer votes than Mr. Obama did on average. If democrats had turned out then Mrs Clinton would have won. This gets back to flawed candidate mentioned above. There were a large number of people that didn't vote for either person.

6. Educate your self a bit. There have been a lot of fake stories about Mr Trump carried in news sources. Look at what he actually says NOT what has been reported he said. Often times it is quite different. He isn't quite the monster the Clinton favoring media makes him out to be. This sort of gets back to #3 but is more insidious in that you need to realize that the media was lying to you. For example; the violence at Trumps rally was almost always instigated by protesters not his supporters. We KNOW because of the Wikileaks data dumps that many of the protesters were paid by the Clinton campaign. A man was fired over this. Trump's supporters are not violent. They have generally been the victims of violence.

7. Practice what you preach. This is a biggie. I get really upset with people that make all sorts of false claims about what I am or believe based upon some form of political or sociological theory that has NO BASIS in the actual events or activities in my life. Let me give you an example that, honestly I don't like to talk about. My wife and I support 15 children through various charities that feed, cloth, house and provide education for underprivileged children from all over the world; none of them, incidentally Caucasian. If everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton did 1/2 that there there would be no starvation in the world. In fact if everyone that voted for Hillary Clinton supported just one child faithfully and steadfastly for years then no child would ever die of starvation. It is easy to go to a protest. It is easy to ride your fake moral high horse and say how much you care or how you've set aside your privilege. It is easy to spew blanket condemnations about those evil "conservatives" It is easy to agitate for governments to do more (Especially when you don't pay any taxes yourself) It is easy to ignore the fact that on average conservatives donate more of their income as both a percentage and total amount than people on the political left. It is easy to say the rich don't pay enough. If you want me to take your Social Justice Ware buffoonery seriously then put down the protest sign and start donating to charities. Put your money where your biog fat mouth is. When you, who are so concerned match the 25% of our income that my wife and I give to charities rather than the (Statistically speaking less than 2% given by leftist ideologues) then we'll have a conversation my bigotry, racism or whatever. Until that time if you are at my table then keep your politics to yourself. And, just to let you know, we've been doing this since we were first married and made $1000.00 a month or less.

8. Relax a bit. Remember that the government is a huge bureaucratic machine. It takes years and years to really change anything and nothing that is done or undone cannot be corrected at a later date.


Dear conservative reader, I'm sorry about Thanksgiving 2013. I got carried away. The Obama administration and seemingly every liberal website were putting out…

The disturbing number of apparent pedophiles surrounding Hillary Clinton

I know that some of my friends & readers don't like me talking about this but they are actually the ones that need to read it. This is a bunch of really weird stuff. It could all be a series of unconnected coincidences but I don't know how to even begin to figure those odds. At some point those that call themselves progressives need to really look at the people their leaders hang out with and ask themselves if they are comfortable with the friends of those they support?

What isn't proven in this blog, at least not in this post, is that John Podesta and Hillary Clinton are actual pedophiles but I think this shows pretty conclusively that they are associated with people who appear to be pedophiles.

Imagine if Jeff Sessions were linked to these people. The media wouldn't have to dig up a quote from 30 years ago to slander him with.

Imagine if Donald Trump, who is reputed to have a taste for junk food, just bought a pizza at one of these places? He'd be crucified.

This is either a great example of citizen journalism doing what the main stream media won't or people who've bought too aluminum foil that they made into hats. I'll let you decide which.

Ubuntu and my rebellion against MicroSoft

I am in day three or four since switching from Windows to Linux after the Microsoft update fried the hard drive in my aging computer. I’ve now used the Ubuntu 16.04 operating system enough to have some non-knee jerk reactions that I thought I’d pass on.
The good
1. Stability: The Ubuntu version 16.04 that I am using seems to be stable and boots up just fine. It seems to boot a lot faster than Window.
2. Cost: You can download Ubuntu for free but the download site does a only slightly pushy job of asking for a $25.00 donation. Since Windows 10 is about ten times that much that’s fine.
3. Complete system: The download came with Firefox and Libra Office (Open Office) that includes a word processor, a spreadsheet and various other programs so you have information processing ability right off the bat. I’ve actually used Open Office for many years, in fact I typed the PhD dissertation on Open Office and it is my favorite word processor. Microsoft Excel is a better spread sheet but if you are just typing Open Office does everything you need. I can confidently say that there is almost nothing MS Office can do that Open Office can’t. Open Office will open Microsoft documents without any problem so there is really no reason to to use MS Office in a home environment. Open Office formatting and options like footnotes and line spacing are done a little differently but not so much so that you’ll have a hard time figuring it out. Given that Windows 10 here on Guam is $269.00 and Micro-Soft Office is another $250.00 or so this is a pretty big deal. Running Ubuntu with Open Office will save enough money to almost pay for the cost of a new computer if you don’t need a new monitor or fancy gaming machine.
4. Easy to install: I downloaded Ubuntu on my laptop and transferred it to a CD and it installed itself without a hitch. Just make sure you get the proper version for the machine you are installing too. The only issue was that I clicked the wrong option. I wanted to install the dual boot option so I could use a Windows XP or Windows 7 to run some games. Instead I got straight Linux. But, like I said that’s my fault. The option was there I just selected the wrong one. If I want I can probably go back and reinstall with the proper option or create a virtual Windows machine.
5. You don’t need antivirus software. There is anti virus available for it but it really isn’t needed
6. I’ve had no problems with connecting to the Internet, video settings or sound. I can watch ML Baseball games, and TV shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix as well as You Tube video with no problem.
7. My portable HD and Thumb Drives work as expected with no problems
How Does Ubuntu look and work?
1. The basic screen is a purple to orange fade. It is neither more or less attractive than the Windows blue background but it definitely has a different visual ambiance. When you look at the screen you know right away this is not a machine running windows. Other than that there are a few differences that you need to be aware of.
2.There is no “Start” button” at the bottom left. There is one but it is a tiny round wheel looking thing in the top right corner. You can turn the machine on and off there and click on various functions.
3. There is no “System Tray” at the bottom right. Instead some of those features are placed just to the left of the start button at the top right.
4. In Microsoft systems you have “close” “diminish” and “full screen” buttons at the Top right. Ubuntu places these at the top left but they are sometimes hidden by text until you mouse over them This was sort of frustrating because it took a while to figure out how to close programs.
5. There is a stack of icons along the left edge of the screen that functions like the start menu at the bottom of a a Windows system. Due to the propitiatory nature of computer operating systems these often have different names than the equivalent Windows operation but they are pretty easy to figure out This stack is a lot easier to manage than the buttons at the bottom of a Windows system and you can easily add or remove buttons
The Problematic
1. Compatibility: Because it dominates the market there are just a bunch more programs available for Windows machines. If all you want to do is type, cruise the Internet and watch video then Ubuntu does just great. But like all Linux systems it fails miserably if you want or need to install a program that was not written for it and that does not exist in a Linux format. There is a Linux program called “WINE” that helps with this some but it mainly works on productivity programs. It hasn’t worked on any of my old games. The only real answer to this problem is to have either a dual boot system so that you can use either a LINUX or Windows system or run a virtual Windows station inside LINUX. To me these solutions kind of defeat the purpose of having a non Windows machine. However, if you don’t need a proprietary windows program the issue doesn’t come up. I, being a rather dedicated gamer have been unable to play any of my games on the main computer and have to use the aging laptop instead. I can access Steam from Ubuntu but because my account is setup as a Microsoft PC account I can’t install any of the games I’ve purchased through Steam.
2. Installing programs. In both MicroSoft and Apple products if you want to install a program you insert the CD or click “Install” after it downloads. That is sometimes the case in LINUX but you often find yourself having to type long strings of command lines that are case and space sensitive. This can be really frustrating and is something I haven’t had to do since the days of the Commodore 64. If you are not comfortable typing something like: sudo apt-get VmX-Positive-Video-Control:ppa essential-build-Kernal.01.06.008* -y then maybe Ubuntu is not for you. An example of what I mean is using Netflix. Netflix won’t work on Firefox using Ubuntu because it requires the MicoSoft “Silverlight” plug in which is not compatible with FireFox in LINUX. In order to make it work you have to download a LINUX equivalent called “Pipelight” and spend 20 minutes carefully typing out command lines to solve the problem. In this case there is a simpler work around – use the Google Chrome browser. (I discovered this after fiddling around trying to get Pipelight to work.)
3. File structure: If you are used to working with Windows then you are used to the various named drives on your computer. LINUX has no “C:” drive or any other named drive. A lot of LINUX devotees seem to think this is a good thing but I do not. Having discrete, named drives or partitions on a hard drive is a true aid in organizing data. If you store data on CD’s or thumb drives make good and sure you have those disc and drives named because it makes them easier to see when you need to access information from them or to save to them.
Conclusion
There is a secular proverb; You get what you pay for. Ubuntu is not as easy to use and runs far fewer programs than Windows or Apple machines. It is also exponentially cheaper, in fact sine you can down load it for free it is infinity cheaper. If all you are doing is email, typing and reading or watching things on the Internet Ubuntu is a great choice. If you want to play a MMORP game like World of War Craft or Uncharted Waters Online you may be in trouble. (If you want to keep your kids from playing those games then you should already be using Ubuntu.) It isn’t a perfect system but it is very usable.
A good way to try Ubuntu would be to load it onto an old computer that you don't use much. Because it takes up less memory than Windows 10 it will work just fine on an older machine. This would let you play around with the system in a real electronic environment without making a huge commitment. Ubuntu has an option boot off a CD which also might be useful but I find that using the program loaded on a an actual HD is a better way to evaluate it. I can see using this system for a low cost homework computer in a child's room because they'd have a difficult time loading programs that parents might not want their kids accessing.
I still haven't decided if I will continue to use it but I'm glad I tried it.

Until Next Time

I just lost my country

A hypothetical situation.

I am driving my Mazda CX-5, listening to Bob Dylan really loud, singing along, with my eyes closed and not paying attention. My speed creeps up from the Guam limit of 35 mph to 65 mph. I don't see a school zone (because my eyes are closed) and I run over seven little kids killing six of them and crippling the seventh for life. I then fail to stop and continue on home dragging the body of one of the dead brats under my car for three or four miles. Can I now avoid prosecution for speeding, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, manslaughter and possibly murder by claiming there was no intent to break the law? If so I can thank Mr Comey the FBI director because this the excuse he just gave Hillary Clinton and set it as a precedent in US law.

Ignorance of the law has never been a defense in breaking the law. Neither has a lack of intent to break the law been a defense in avoiding prosecution. In the vast majority of reckless driving cases I would imagine the bad driver will claim "I never meant to hurt anyone!" and it is probably a true statement but they go to jail anyway. Well not anymore baby, not any more!
Hillary Clinton broke up to 14 Federal laws, multiple times. She is the most corrupt and venal politician in the history of the United States. She makes Richard Nixon look like a Saint. She makes Bernie Madoff look like a Saint. In fact she makes Donald Trump (as flawed as he is) look like a Saint.

If she is not prosecuted because the FBI could not find "Intent" then I should not be prosecuted for running down seven children in my SUV as per the hypothetical situation above provided I claim I had no intent to break the law.

Using Wittgensteinian logic we can see that my hypothetical crime and Hillary Clinton's actual crimes are exactly the same thing (Notice the FBI did not say no laws were broken but rather there was no intent.) If one is prosecuted the other should be too and if one is excused then the other should be too. This is true regardless of your political affiliation.

Either the rule of law has just been perverted though political corruption or there are two sets of laws, one for most people and another for high level politicians. Neither of these is a good thing.

If you disagree with my conclusion you are a fool or a fascist. The rule of law has just been destroyed in the US by the FBI. If you support Hillary Clinton you are supporting fascism and tyranny.
