Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is voting for Brexit because EMU is the greatest economic crime of modern times

From his remarks, here, where it's everywhere else a wonder that he was able to work up the nerve to side with the Leavers:

There has been no truth and reconciliation commission for the greatest economic crime of modern times. We do not know who exactly was responsible for anything because power was exercised through a shadowy interplay of elites in Berlin, Frankfurt, Brussels, and Paris, and still is.

Why Trump will win: Idiot typist at Fortune, Daniel Gross, blames poor May 2016 jobs report on . . . Donald Trump!

And Trump's not even president yet.

Did Obama ever get blamed for anything in eight years?

Not by Daniel Gross, here, a striver of the Democrat sort who's getting a head start on the return of making the future Republican president responsible for everything:

Donald Trump seems to revel in fomenting uncertainty. Trump has consciously set out to violate or alter the norms surrounding political campaigning, and has succeeding [sic] (beyond everyone’s wildest expectations) in doing so.

As a result, all of that uncertainty is likely to give pause to a large number of companies and employees in a range of industries. In fact, it’s possible that May’s poor jobs numbers – only 38,000 payroll jobs were added in the month despite the fact that there were a record 5.8 million job openings at the beginning of the month – have something to do with this trepidation.

The Obama trifecta in Orlando

His beloved queers, slaughtered.

His beloved Muslims, the perpetrators.

His beloved anti-gun zealotry, now unexcelled in history for impotence.

Hillary the Lawless, Schoolgirls & Co. at the State Dept. acted as a law unto themselves: Expect worse as president

From the New York Post here:

But the coverup goes beyond Team Hillary. Marie Harf, State’s top spokeswoman under John Kerry, started lying the day the scandal broke: “There’s no prohibition on using this kind of e-mail account,” she said.

That backs Clinton’s repeated claims that “It was allowed.” Yeah — by her. As the IG report notes, Hillary never sought an OK for her e-mail setup from State’s legal professionals — who never would’ve given one.

“Harf is implying that State approved this practice,” John Bellinger wrote his successors at State’s legal department. He urged them “to defend the credibility” of the legal staff and not let Harf give them “a bad name.” State ignored him.

Trump isn't off-message: Right now Trump IS the message

No one gives a damn about the off-message until things get serious, like two months before the election . . . you know, like October.

Meanwhile, Trump is makin' 'em JUMP!

It's the Trump Jump. 

NYT: Tens of thousands of American workers lose their jobs to H-1B temporary visa abuse by American employers, some start to speak up

Does anyone read The Times on Saturday?


According to federal rules, temporary visas known as H-1Bs are for foreigners with “a body of specialized knowledge” not readily available in the labor market. The visas should be granted only when they will not undercut the wages or “adversely affect the working conditions” of Americans. But in the past five years, through loopholes in the rules, tens of thousands of American workers have been replaced by foreigners on H-1B and other temporary visas, according to Prof. Hal Salzman, a labor force expert at Rutgers University.

Wow, first time ever surveyed by Rasmussen by telephone

It took almost nine minutes.

Lots of questions about gender and sexuality, nothing about Trump or Clinton.

Ickkkkkkkkkkky.

Obama drives sales of firearms over 141 million with half a year left in his tenure: About 51,000 everyday he's been president!


Obama's Justice Sotomayor is the total and complete racist Americans should be worried about

New York Times transcript of 2001 Sotomayor speech, here, where she says physiological differences may and will make a difference in the administration of justice and make decisions better:

Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, a possibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O'Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.

Senate Republicans Alexander, Bond, Collins, Grahamnesty, GreggTARP, Lugar, Martinez, Snowe and Voinovich voted to confirm her, 68-31.

The only way Hillary hasn't clinched it is if ordinary delegates were awarded strictly proportionally by popular vote

Clinton has won 56.7% of the total primary popular vote, and Sanders 43.3%.

So if you award ordinary delegates according to that ratio, Clinton gets 2297 and Sanders 1754, both of which fall short of the 2382 needed to win.

But then there's those darn 712 superdelegates . . ..

Divide those up the same way and Hillary clinches it with 2701, and Sanders still falls short with 2062.

As things stand Clinton actually gets 2184 plus 571, Sanders 1804 plus 48.

Sanders remains the plausible alternative if the FBI recommends charges against Hillary, but that's about it.

Hey Paul Ryan, I got your textbook racism right here!

Trump cleans up, sweeps California, New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota averaging 74% of the popular vote

David Somebody thinks he has to explain why he's not running for president

And you thought Trump was a narcissist.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams uncovers the bloodthirst causing Hillary Clinton's chronic cough


This past week we saw Clinton pair the idea of President Trump with nuclear disaster, racism, Hitler, the Holocaust, and whatever else makes you tremble in fear. ... [O]nce you define Trump as Hitler, you also give citizens moral permission to kill him. And obviously it would be okay to kill anyone who actively supports a genocidal dictator, including anyone who wrote about his persuasion skills in positive terms. (I’m called an “apologist” on Twitter, or sometimes just Joseph Goebbels).

Conrad Black: Trump evicting the entire leadership of the Republican Party is unique in US history

The current very strong El Nino now extends to 14 months, averaging 1.5 on the index

We now have three back to back periods of 1.9, 1.6 and 1.1 on the index, indicating the El Nino is winding down rapidly from its high point in November-December-January at 2.3.

Year over year, abnormally dry conditions and worse have been reduced by El Nino rains from 50.73% of the country at the end of May 2015 to 31.82% of the country now, an improvement of just over 37%. Central and southern California remains hard hit.
