WHAT I PUT UP WITH ON THE SCHUYLKILL EXPRESSWAY

How I’ve survived the last ten years on the Schuylkill Expressway is a mystery when assholes like this are driving alongside me.

Woman caught on video texting while driving with feet

In a cell phone video sent exclusively to Action News, the female driver can be seen with her eyes glued on the phone with both hands typing.

It was a case of reckless driving so egregious Sarah and Shawn Delong had to record it.

“Someone is going to get killed, that’s why I was so mad. You see people on their phones all the time, but that took the cake,” Sarah told Action News Wednesday night.

From the passenger seat of their car, Sarah started recording on her phone.

The Delongs followed the woman’s car for quite a while, and her distracted driving continued.

“For a good 20 minutes we were in her vicinity whether it was beside her or behind her,” Sarah said.

More adult Americans live with their parents and grandparents

 

Multigenerational households have reached an all-time high

Inreasingly, two or more adult generations are living under the same roof.

Despite the end of the Great Recession, there’s been a surge in multigenerational households.

Both the number and share of Americans living in multigenerational family households has continued to rise in recent years, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, D.C. In 2014, a record 60.6 million people, or 19% of the U.S. population, lived in a multigenerational household, up from 42.4 million (17%) in 2009 and 27.5 million (12%) in 1980. Multigenerational families — households with two or more adult generations, or one that includes grandparents and grandchildren — is growing among nearly all racial groups and age groups, says D’Vera Cohn, a senior writer and editor at Pew.

There are some demographic reasons. The Asian and Hispanic populations are growing more rapidly than the white population, Cohn’s analysis of the latest U.S. Census Bureau data found, “and those groups are more likely than whites to live in multigenerational family households.” What’s more, foreign-born Americans are more likely than the U.S.-born people to live with multiple generations of family, and Asians and Hispanics are more likely than whites to be immigrants. Some 28% of Asians lived in multigenerational households versus 25% of Hispanics and African-Americans and 15% of Caucasians.

Obamacare On “Verge Of Collapse” As Premiums Set To Soar Again In 2017

Tyler Durden's picture

If Obamacare enrollments continue their current trend and insurers continue to hike premiums at alarming rates then Republicans may not have to worry about “repealing and replacing Obamacare” as it might just work itself out “naturally”.  The 4th open enrollment period for Obamacare begins on November 1, 2016 and industry experts are warning that another year of tepid demand from “young and healthy” Americans could force more insurers out of the exchanges effectively marking the end of Obamacare as we know it.  According to a story published by The Hill, 11 million people bought health insurance through the exchanges for 2016 which was drastically below the Congressional Budget Office’s initial projection of 21 million.

Well we’re shocked!  Turns out that whole “adverse selection bias” was a real thing.  So you’re telling us that young, healthy people don’t want to pay for insurance they know they’ll never use?  We guess America’s youth can actually do basic math, after all.  Apparently they were able to figure out they would rather take the lower tax associated with Obamacare penalties than the larger tax associated with buying a healthcare policy they’ll never use.  We guess Millennials are a little less enthusiastic about embracing socialism when the costs are coming out of their pockets.

Hillary, Trump, and War with Russia: The Goddamdest Stupid Idea I Have Ever Heard, and I Have Lived in Washington

T14

Don’t look for a walk-over. The T14 Armata, Russia’s latest tank. You don’t want to fight this monster if you can think of a better idea, such as not fighting it. Russia once made large numbers of second-rate tanks. That worm has turned. This thing is way advanced and outguns the American M1A2, having a 125mm smoothbore firing APFSDS long-rods to the Abrams 120mm. (As Hillary would know, that’s Armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding-sabot. You did know, didn’t you, Hill?) This isn’t the place for a disquisition on armor, but the above beast is an ver advanced design with unmanned turret and, well, a T34 it isn’t. (I was once an aficionado of tanks. If interested, here and here.)

A good reason to vote for Trump, a very good reason whatever his other intentions, is that he does not want a war with Russia. Hillary and her elite ventriloquists threaten just that.  Note the anti-Russian hysteria coming from her and her remoras.

A Nation Of Sheep, Afraid Of Words: Lies, Damn Lies, & Hillary Clinton Lies

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

I want to start this post off by taking a closer look at what Donald Trump actually said in his now infamous “2nd Amendment speech” yesterday. Here’s the part that generated all the controversy:

If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know. But — but I’ll tell you what. That will be a horrible day. If — if Hillary gets to put her judges — right now, we’re tied. You see what’s going on.

First of all, I agree that this is an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing for a Presidential candidate to say. So while I don’t think he should’ve said it, I also don’t think it’s the biggest deal in the world. Moreover, mainstream media and pundits across the land are unanimously interpreting it as a call for the assassination of Hillary Clinton. I didn’t read it that way at all.

For instance, he starts off his thought by creating a hypothetical scenario “if she gets to pick her judges.” So at that moment he seems to be thinking about a post-Clinton presidency; a time after which she has already picked the judges. If the judges are already in place, what would an assassination of Clinton accomplish? Absolutely nothing.

SHE COULD BE MY DAUGHTER

Shouldn’t her Secret Service detail have arrested her? Isn’t this a crime? Obama and his Feds do everything they can to stop pot from being sold in Colorado. It would be hypocritical of him to not prosecute her. Will she turn herself in to the local police?

Next there will be video of her eating junk food. Fat ass Moochelle would be devastated.


Question of the Day, Aug 11

I wanted to thank everyone for keeping Admin busy with all the questions yesterday. Luckily, he still had time for that beer.

From one of the facebook lefties…“So…Obama founded ISIS, according to Trump. Up until now, I’ve believed this guy will say anything to get attention. Now, I truly believe this man is mentally unstable and needs a psychiatric evaluation. Really? ISIS?”

A couple different things to address in there. Assuming you would respond to that, what would you say?


How Donald Trump Can Win in a Landslide

Guest Post by the Bionic Mosquito

I have worked with and for people like Donald Trump.

You see, such people have minds that move very fast through mountains of information and are satisfied if they capture about the most relevant 20% of the key points that convey 80% of the story. They then have no problem telling you how much they know about the subject, while messing up on the 80% of the points that tell only 20% of the story.

Their minds can move faster than their mouths at times; while delivering a message to an audience, they might forget about the specific angle that should be taken with that audience – not that the message is different, but that different points need be emphasized or minimized.

They will move to tangential subjects if asked – even if not as prepared on these; they do this for all of the aforementioned reasons, plus they believe they are the smartest person in the room.

Such people can be great successes at business – the most successful people focus on the 20% that give 80% of the value; handling the rest is why they hire others.

FLEAS

Guest Post by Eric Peters

I haven’t posted here in a few days – chiefly because in between writing the rants (and responding to your comments) I’ve been playing the role of Marshall Zhukov vs. a Wehrmacht-like swarm of fleas that invaded my house as suddenly and relentlessly as the German swarm back in June of ’41.

Unternehmen Flea-arossa...fleas 1

One day, my wife noticed a few – a few! – fleas on one of our many cats. Within 48 hours, there were fleas… everywhere. Upstairs, downstairs. In the garage. On the concrete pad outside the garage. If you walked outside, you’d have fleas peppering you calves. I went to the basement and found thousands of them.

Apparently, a single flea can lay 50 eggs in 24 hours. Do the math.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“In an age where everything is for sale, ethical accountability is rendered a liability, and the vocabulary of empathy is viewed as a weakness, reinforced by the view that individual happiness and its endless search for instant gratification is more important than supporting the public good and embracing an obligation to care for others.

Americans are now pitted against each other as neo-liberalism puts a premium on competitive cage-like relations that degrade collaboration and the public spheres that support it.”

2016 Will End With Economic Instability And A Trump Presidency

 Hat tip itjustmakessense

Political and economic events tend to swing like a pendulum, or move like the tides.  What you think you know today, according to the mainstream mood, can swiftly change tomorrow.  Sometimes this is mere random coincidence, but often it is engineered by the powers that be.  When discerning coming trends, the only assumption I recommend people operate on is that the globalists will play the long game; the short game is only relevant as far as it serves the long game.

What is the long game?  The globalists have openly admitted their goal in numerous mainstream publications, but my favorite example is the January 1988 issue of the Rothschild run magazine The Economist.  The issue pronounces boldly that investors should “get ready for a global currency” by 2018.  I examine this issue in detail in my article The Economic End Game Explained.

The Economist article mentions the sacrifice of “some” economic sovereignty of nation states, the end of the dollar’s world reserve status and the rise of the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights basket currency mechanism as a “bridge” to a single global currency.  None of these changes can be accomplished without certain parts of the world suffering severe financial instability first.  Not only is this a mathematical inevitability, such crisis is also a useful tool for elitists to mold the public’s collective psychology.
