I saw her fugly mug on the tube this morning, commenting on the new RAT leadership, and promising that she'd be right there with them.
I heard the entire interview and the interviewee was trying to conflate illegal with legal.
I take personal affront to this because I’m a LEGAL immigrant (now naturalized citizen) who followed all the rules, paid the fee, got fingerprinted, took the test, was and still is a productive citizen, spoke the language.
Yeah, my voice would probably raise up an octave or two as well.
And your point is?
What, have you blown a plasma conduit?
Advanced military aircraft, yes. Superior beings from another planetary system, no.
I can see that it's virtually impossible for other sentient life to exist in our solar system...
BUT!
Having seen the Hubble Telescope's photos of Trillions of other Galaxies, the odds increase exponentially that somewhere out there, another intelligent life may have emerged and developed space travel....before us.
If so....they're probably also smart enough to have avoided our detection.
I cannot explain every report UFO story posted on the Internet, but I believe others can.
I'm not saying it's aliens but....
UpChuck was whining that the WH only offered a Deputy Press director for their show and he turned it down. Why go there and have your answer edited for next weeks agenda?
Brilliant Trump.
Sunday political shows
The head of the DNC-the new one-is on Meet the Press and he mentions this race in Delaware.
Perez brags and brags about the failure of John Marino in the 10th state senatorial district here in Delaware.
Chuck Todd cited a poll-NBC/WSJ-that had Trump with 44% approval, 48% disapproval.
Of course Todd, a very, very stupid man who should not have that job, says this means Trump is not liked.
They tell us these polls even though they were all freaking wrong in predicting the election and we’re supposed BELIEVE THEM ALL OF A SUDDEN???
Heh.

Heh. CBS Face the Nation, John Kasich and John Brenner, former CIA agent.
First, for what reason that makes sense is Governor Kasich of Ohio all of a sudden some kind of mouthpiece of the Republican party?
When asked about the proposed repeal and replace of the Affordable Care Act, Kasich says that…I paraphrase…”my job is to be on the side of those who will be losing coverage.”
Say what?
How is the Governor of Ohio’s job to be on anybody’s side during a national federalized health care debate?
I thought the Governor of Ohio’s job was to be on the side of…TADA….the people of Ohio!

Nancy Pelosi
The woman said absolutely nothing of any importance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1rBKCOK69w
Wow! Chris Christie! Haven’t seen him in a while.
Chris Christie, bane of every Republican administration elected, a sore that won’t heal and go away.
Christie spoke of these bogus town halls taking place across the country where rude paid protestors are deliberately interrupting speakers and stopping debate.
Christie, full of himself as always, says the Republican elect should get out there and do his job. He, the almighty Christie, had to deal with a lot of protests like these.
But if you make him mad he’ll close down a bridge to the working people, I remind yon reader.

Fox News Sunday
Gov. McAuliffe of Virginia
The corrupt Governor of Virginia says that Trump’s cracking down on Muslim refugees from a certain set of countries is essentially a ban because of religion.
Well of course he’s going to say that.
Inviting the best in a country to live in yours….nah….that takes too much common sense.

EXCELLENT job!
With synopsis and commentary...
Perfection. You have the job forever!
Listen again at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgPtxXCP0D4
That segment. Pay particular attention to 10:46. 11:33, 12:00, 15:57, and them come back and say you are sorry.
I meant to say foreign born. He said 34% in Virginia are foreign born.
Not good
thanks,its easy to get overwhelmed in this stuff.
Likely lots of truth there but Soros was 15 during WWII so his function as per the Nazis is not too great.
First of all, we have Astronomer Frank Drake, who came up with the famous Drake Equation in 1961:
Drake was trying to come up with a solution to the famous Fermi Paradox, which basically is, "If there's intelligent life out there, then where are they?".
Some observers believe Drake's Equation is still compatible with observations due to the anthropic principle: No matter how low the probability that any given galaxy will have intelligent life, the galaxy that we are in must have at least one intelligent species by definition. There could be hundreds of galaxies in our galactic cluster with no intelligent life whatsoever, but of course we would not be present in those galaxies to observe this fact.
Enrico Fermi assumed the existence of only one extraterrestrial civilization capable of intersidereal travel (at a speed lower than the speed of light). He assumed that this civilization would be interested in the conquest of the Galaxy and that it progressed by jumps, colonizing a planet during a few hundred or thousands years, then sending tens of vessels towards new conquests. The problem is that after only a few million years, the whole of the Galaxy is under the influence of this extraterrestrial civilization (the low rate of travel being largely compensated by the exponential increase of the vessels number).
Simulations of an expansion show that it is possible for one civilization to colonize the whole galaxy in about 10 million years, a short time compared to the age of the Galaxy (ten billion years). The question then arising, and famously formulated by physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950: since only one extraterrestrial civilization could spread in a relatively short time, how is it possible that that we never saw the extraterrestrial ones and that our radio telescopes never collected signals of suspect origin?
I am not one to call speculation “crazy” so I will just say that one is beyond strange. There is no base at either pole.
Un, no. The logistics and rationale for such a thing are virtually impossible and absurd.
I have seen no credible evidence that Brennan is a Moslem.
That would put him around 20 or so at the end of it and made a pretty good living taking valuables from the Jews he turned in.
Arg.... Did not mean to click Post.
So, continuing on:
In other words, Fermi was asking, “So where are they?” The Sun/Earth system is about 4 billion years old. Any space farers should have been here long ago. Some speculate that they were, and left some garbage behind, and life on Earth came from some microbes in the garbage!
I’m not buying it, but it would be a great story.
The biggest issue to me is the age of the Universe, and how the various elements were created. Assuming the Big Bang occurred, we have evidence of it. One indicator is the red Doppler effect discovered by Edward Hubble in the 1950s. This shows that everything in the universe is moving AWAY from us, that is, the universe is expanding. How long has this been going on?
At the far distant reaches of space, the farthest we can see—using radio telescopes—is the cosmic microwave background, which is 13.9 billion years old. This was discovered in 1965.
After the Big Bang, there were no elements except hydrogen. No stars, no light, just a thick soupy fog of hydrogen at thousands of degrees. Eventually, the hydrogen in this soup gathered together in big clumps through gravity, and after about 200 million years, enough hydrogen was lumped together to form the first stars. Let there be light!
A star is just a mass of hydrogen atoms so dense that the are fused into another element; helium. This process is known as fusion. So that is what initially occurred through the first few generations of stars. We had a universe that started with one and only one element, but now we had two elements.
How long did it take to form the other, higher elements?
I think billions of years. Only a supernova can bring forth the massive pressures to fuse hydrogen into the heavier elements: Oxygen, Iron, Carbon, Silicon, Nitrogen, Gold, etc,, etc.
To have enough of these elements in the universe to actually form a rocky planet must have taken many billions of years. It could have taken almost 8 or 9 billion years, up to the point of the formation of the Sun Earth system. And even here, it took another billion years for life to evolve.
Then (and no offense to Biblical Christians) to even get multicellular life took another 2 and half billion years, and finally, from the first worms and trilobites, through the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, mammals, monkeys, apes and us; intelligent life here, in what the past 100,000 years?
These are all well documented as part of our learning. I do not mean belief—faith is something that cannot be proven to be or not to be. I’m not making a Darwinist versus Creationist argument here; just going with the science of life in the universe and how it could be out there...
so it is possible that we are the first. Perhaps it will actually be us who Fermi described as the one extraterrestrial civilization capable of intersidereal travel!!!
And the logistical impossibilitys of such a thing are overruled by using levitation to get the thousands of people necessary to build huge bases? Slave labor built those in Germany and the numbers required are enormous. Far too large to transport via submarine and not practical for large ships which would be easily detected and sunk by the Allies.
