I just finished watching "A star is born" Streaming on Google $5:99 rental and I'm kinda steamed a bit. No Spoilers I can handle some of the editing decisions that struck me as odd -- probably cost a few people some oscars as well, and I can even handle the ending. But what bothers me is the crappy stunt the pos agent (rez) pulled at his last scene. I gather he was at one time an agent for Jack but then went with Addy because she was the new star, but the audience deserved to see some sort of karmic...

All indicators are in and it looks like Trump is having a banner year for the economy. Record Christmas sales, Record travel, record DNC tears. So with all these records being broken what are the intrigant reason for the end of year crash? Can we blame DNC and the left wing fringe conspiring? or do we just go a solo Soros narrative. Regardless here is my prediction. By the middle of the fourth month the dow will be back up into record territory, lead by marquee corporations. Apple, google, walmart, amazon, verizon, intel, AMD, GEFORCE. So if your favorite tec...

Hey, I'm looking for some amature astronomy / astrophotography hobbyists that can give me hints, links and recommendations to get started.and even used eqipment that may fit in with what I'm going to do. 1. I'm handicapped so my mobility is restricted I'll startiing in my driveway with pretty high light polutiing focusing on objects off in our solor system. Sun, moon, Jup, mar, saturn, uran, Merc venusm pluto, Moons of Jupiter, planets transiting the Sun and if they are resolvable, some of the bigger asteroids. 2. I would like take some time delayed photographs just for practice for upgrades...

Full Title: Republican lawmaker, NRA lobbyist challenge Florida sheriff on 'Stand Your Ground' stance in shooting. ... The incident was captured on surveillance video and drew national attention. The argument began when Drejka questioned McGlockton’s girlfriend about parking in the handicapped parking space without a permit while McGlockton went inside the store. “He told deputies that he had to shoot to defend himself. Those are the facts and that’s the law," Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri was quoted as saying. ”No matter how you slice it or dice it that was a violent push to the ground.” ...

Alright, the title gives it all away but just in case, roomba is a robot vacuum that vacuums you floor every day while you're there or not. Dog dodo is dog crap, a pile of crap. Now my brother in law usually takes his dachshund's when he goes back to D.C for the work week. Since next week is going to be a short week for him he decided to leave the dogs behind at the house. Well, they're not well potty trained and he doesn't crate them. So by the time my sister gets home they've crapped all over...

BIG WELLS, Texas (KABB/WOAI) - Authorities said five undocumented immigrants are dead following a chase involving Border Patrol agents Sunday afternoon. Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said the crash happened off Highway 85 in Big Wells at about noon. Boyd said agents were chasing the SUV when it lost control and overturned. The vehicle was traveling at more than 100 miles per hour when it crashed.

Last week's episode was horrible. This weeks episode was just a fraction better -- but still horrible. Anybody else finding it difficult to watch and to vest any interest in it anymore?

Sally Field ✔ @sally_field I like Samantha Bee a lot, but she is flat wrong to call Ivanka a [c***]. [C****] are powerful, beautiful, nurturing and honest. 3:05 PM - May 31, 2018 They flying C*** just spilled the beans on how Progressive Feminists see their sex organs as tools to manipulate men. It also zeroes in on how important the left's emasculation of men is. I wouldn't be surprised if it is why the ranks of gay men keeps growing despite the fact they pretty well much have been breeding themselves out of existence. Much like Catholic Priests. If...

Okay, I'll say that this started happening after IMDB scrubbed their forum boards -- which I found very useful. The signal to noise ratio was pretty good, but I'm sure they dropped it so's to attract advertisement dollars. Like who wants to invest their money or give advanced information to a website that's likely to get trashed in there forums? Now what's happening over at Netflix that I find upsetting? Films and television series that are not in English. Now I love asian films non dubbed with just Closed Captioning. And I understand that some people don't mind and that...

...That said, the tweet on its own terms is alarming. It’s a statement of intent to issue a specific investigative demand of the Justice Department for entirely self-interested and overtly political reasons. And Trump published it in the absence of a shred of evidence that might support the demanded action....

... Clovis, who made the final decision in March 2016 to bring both Page and Papadopoulos onto the campaign, had no inclination that Halper was spying on Trump associates. Clovis and Halper met for coffee on Aug. 31 or Sept. 1, 2016 near Washington. Clovis said the conversation was innocuous, focusing mostly on foreign policy issues, including China, one of Halper’s areas of expertise. ... I've always have been suspicious of both Page and Papadopoulos and still am. I'm adding Clovis to the list. Thinking he's now a contender for the campaign plant. Halper just has that "That was easy"...

American politics has become “almost all accusatory and all bombastic,” the former secretary of state told those gathered Sunday, arguing we are at the point where we can’t even “agree on what the facts are.” Oh the irony. Honestly, I think they are baiting Trump to do something about the increasing belligerence that Trumps being shown. It's psyops stuff meant to be demoralizing. They think they might goad him into arresting them or some other shtf decision. But there are other ways. There's alway the "leave the gun, take the cannoli" solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=yHzh0PvMWTI

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Yale University’s graduating class she’s “still not over” losing to President Donald Trump in the 2016 election. What a turn off. Giving a commencement speech and then just whine about losing the election. Those students should have been pissed off. What an egotistical conceited witch 'It's all about me' political mob boss. I can only shudder when I think what it would have been if she had won. There are more choice quotes further on and a video. tn;dw: Too nauseating; didn't watch.

Anybody have experience taking this drug? It's interaction with morphine sulfate? Does anybody take this for Sciatica?

Not a big hockey fan but I came across this on the web. It's total pure pwnage. https://twitter.com/NHLonNBCSports/status/984642064305524737/video/1

An interesting moment I caught during Ted Cruz's excellent grilling of Mark Zuckerberg. Cruz: "Of the 20 thousand people you say monitor the content of users ... do you know any of their political affiliations"? Zuckerberg: "Senator we 'GENERALLY' do not hire people based on their political affiliation". Here's the link to the particular moment: https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=3712 Generally merely means 'not the majority' totally avoiding the question of the facebook minitors. This is something Ted Cruz wouldn't pass up to follow up on the use of 'GENERALLY'. Next question is why didn't any of the Senators ask Zuckerberg of how much...

Late night I'm watching a movie on Amazon Prime -- "Vengeance a love story". It's typical Nicholas Cage material these days. Somewhere between junk and a good movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5460530/?ref_=nv_sr_1 It is about a vigilante cop drawn to a case that involved a single mother brutally gang raped in front of her 11 year old daughter. 1/3 into the movie at which we can consider the start of the second act. The daughter is alone in her house looking for her cat which has gone missing and eventually found hung on her front porch. I happened to notice that the 11...

I was trying to figure out what would be so shocking that it would literally bring down the DNC, Horrify house members who've seen the memo and fit in with the current pre-cognitive stream of information coming from Q. Here's a theory worth consideration. The FBI has intercepts from either Seth Rich or various players regarding Seth Rich. Perhaps they have proof embedded in the Fisa fiasco that reveal Seth Rich wass murderer?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sparked a backlash within her own party after she criticized the “white guys” negotiating a DACA deal between Republicans and Democrats. Pelosi took issue with the fact that five of the men leading the DACA negotiations are white. Two of them, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer and Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, are leaders within Pelosi’s own party. The other three “white guys” are Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and White House chief of staff John Kelly. .... [snip]

"....But Mr. Trump has also spent a lifetime as a real estate mogul and television personality seeking to be accepted by the financial and media elite in New York and around the world. His decision to travel to Davos as president may represent his desire to prove that he has achieved that goal...." Good Grief. Trump gets off on stadiums of 25k people, not potemkinesq meeting elitists on their annual ski trip.
