Immigrant pummeled by 2 men for wearing 'MAGA' hat: Maryland police: https://www.foxnews.com/us/make-america-great-again-maga-hat-immigrant-maryland-police

"But they are doing it as well!!" That is your only comment? What are the current batch of uni-party Democrats, liberals, progressives, and socialists doing to stop this tide of spending the USA into oblivion? Initiatives like the Green New Deal sure don't seem to be it.

It's obvious Mr. Sanders should now be taxed at 70%.

Bernie Sanders Is a Millionaire. That’s Great!: https://reason.com/2019/04/15/bernie-sanders-is-a-millionaire-thats-great/ Congratulations to the capitalist Mr. Sanders on the success of his book and his subsequent millionaire status. Now which of our GID socialists out there will automatically discount Mr. Sanders as a potential POTUS due to his capitalist success?

Author and Grand Master Gene Wolfe, 1931-2019: https://www.tor.com/2019/04/15/gene-wolfe-in-memoriam-1931-2019/ Wolfe went on to write over 30 novels, with his best best-known work, The Book of The New Sun, spanning 1980-1983. The series is a tetralogy set in the Vancian Dying Earth subgenre, and follows the journey of Severian, a member of the Guild of Torturers, after he is exiled for the sin of mercy. Over the course of the series the books won British Science Fiction, World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Locus, Nebula, and Campbell Memorial Awards. In 1998 poll, the readers of Locus magazine considered the series as a single entry and ranked it third in a poll of fantasy novels published before 1990, following only The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Wolfe’s fans include Michael Swanwick, Neil Gaiman, Patrick O’Leary, Ursula K. Le Guin, and many, many more, and he was praised for his exciting prose and depth of character. Asked by editor Damon Knight to name his biggest influences, he replied: “G. K. Chesterton and Marks’ [Standard] Handbook for [Mechanical] Engineers.” In 2015 The New Yorker published this profile of Wolfe by Peter Bebergal, in which the two discussed his decades-long career—it’s well worth a read. Wolfe won the Edward E. Smith Memorial Award in 1989, the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 1996, and was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2007. In 2012, The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named him its 29th SFWA Grand Master. Wolfe is survived by his daughters Madeleine (Dan) Fellers, Mountain Home, Arkansas, Teri (Alan) Goulding, Woodridge, Illinois, son, Matthew Wolfe, Atlanta, Georgia and 3 granddaughters, Rebecca (Spizzirri), Elizabeth (Goulding) and Alison (Goulding). He leaves behind an impressive body of work, but nonetheless, he will be dearly missed. The Book of The New Sun is an impressive work, and one of my favorites. Mr. Wolfe was truly an American Icon. He will be missed.

It appears that Mr. Buttigieg isn't "gay enough" for some people on the left: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/03/pete-buttigieg-gay-diversity-white-male-candidate.html The insanity on the Left. He’s gay, but is he gay enough? He’s openly gay in an openly gay marriage, but is he gay enough? What else does he need to do, be dancing onstage during the debates in a tutu? Does the left want a mockery of a stereotype or something?

Julian Assange and WikiLeaks Deserve Our Thanks for Making Governments More Transparent: https://reason.com/2019/04/11/julian-assange-and-wikileaks-deserve-our Spot-on commentary by Mr. Gillespie.

Not a bad season opener. I expected a "moving the pieces around" episode and that is basically what it was. Getting the characters and story lines all lined up for the crap to hit the fan.

Agreed. Appears to be a database query issue: SELECT [Aff_ID] from Affiliation_Lookup WHERE [Aff_ID] = <input_paramter> instead of: SELECT [Aff_Desc] from Affiliation_Lookup WHERE [Aff_ID] = <input_parameter>

If so I learned it from the best. You.

http://reason.com/blog/2019/04/10/rand-paul-presses-mike-pompeo-on-iran-yo I doubt they will listen. A silly thing like the U.S. Constitution is just a nuisance to The Unitary Executive.

Nice dodge. And actually no, if you want to play that game this was my "original statement":

Ray Dalio's Hollow Lament: https://mises.org/wire/ray-dalios-hollow-lament Yep, sounds like a Baby Boomer.

Probably. After all I am a mental midget compared to your Baby Boomer greatness. Got some retirement cash I can borrow? And I find your backtracking on my original statement interesting. You first stated: I then responded (initial grammatically errors corrected): Your response was then: So once I pointed out your love affair with the millennial Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the "Green New Deal" you immediately pivoted your blame to Generation X. Interesting.

Fixed.

Again, I don't understand. But thank you for pointing out that I forgot the word "you" in my previous statement. Unfortunately the edit window is now very, very short for posts, otherwise I would fix it.

I'm sorry, the bolded portion doesn't seem to make sense grammatically.

I thought they were "manning up" with initiatives like the Green New Deal, championed by a very member of that generation who according to are"ruining their lives"?

They are just words. They won't hurt you.
