Well Trump has a wedge he can drive into the 14th Amendment argument. The salient issue is you can't deny birthright citizenship without due process of law.

It should not be difficult to show Mr. & Mrs. Immigrant had no history in the US before baby is born on a sidewalk in Dallas. No W2's, no property tax, utility bills, rent receipts in their name. No vehicle registration, drivers license, VOTER ID CARD, social security number, and on and on.

I'm supposed to believe that a 9 months pregnant woman woke up one day in Guatemala and said "Hey, Raul, let's go to Vegas for a picnic before I drop this kid!". Yeah, that's the ticket!

If people can't prove the birth was unintentional (3 months premature for example) or somehow coincidental to their arrival, then the kid should stay the nationality of the parents. The only thing you might want to do on compassionate grounds pay to fly them home. Getting citizenship just because your mommy whelped you out on the lawn of a park she likely can't even pronounce, seems like too high a reward.

Lack of previous intent by virtue of having established a life in the US for some time before the birth would denote fraudulent intent. Citizenship is null and void for the child.

I'd be curious to know how many women give birth in Mexico every year from other countries? You know, they just don't cross the finish line into the States. Are they automatically Mexican citizens? If so, I wonder how many refuse Mexican citizenship. "Thanks, but we're good. Gonna go home and stick another bun in the Juanita oven. Maybe head for the States earlier next time."

What's next? Hopefully prison. Seriously. The woman is evil incarnate. Watergate, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Humagate, E-mailgate. Even if she has actually never done anything illegal (which I would happily debate) she has shown a lifetime record of shockingly poor decision making.

She has apparently learned the ONLY lesson politicians ever need to live by. Deny everything until they find the truth. IF they DO, then walk out the microphones, say mistakes were made/you are only human/you were embarrassed to admit the truth. You ask the American public to forgive you, because you know Americans are forgiving people. You ask for privacy in this difficult time, and you will be co-operating with the authorities in the interests of making sure the truth is told.

Now you will go make a plea bargain deal, open up your blackmail file, throw a couple small fry under the bus, and the news machine will be fed for another couple weeks.

After a lengthy investigation a judge will determine there is no public interest served by sending Hildabeast to jail. She can however afford a large fine. The government will say justice has been done, the bad people were punished, that this should be an example to those trying to go around the law.

Hillary will write a book, generate a boatload more donations for the Clinton Foundation, serve on a couple boards for 6-7 figure yearly salaries, and ride off into the pantsuit sunset a free woman.

Gee, do I sound cynical. Save this post and read it in 5 years.

Ok gang, a little help. I am looking for suggestions on replacing my driver shaft. Here's my situation.

1) Male 50+
2) Club head speed 108 mph.
3) Current driver Adams Speedline Super S set at 11.5.
4) Current shaft Aldila NV 75g in 'stiff' trimmed to 45 inches.

The Problem

1) Have a very high spin rate and working on correcting strike on the face of the club.
2) Have a natural fade BUT the shaft is an 'anti-hook' shaft and therefore biases to fade the ball as well. So hit a fade, with a fade type shaft, and there she goooooeeessss into the trees.
3) Takes a fair amount of swing gymnastics to keep the ball in the fairway.
4) Best swings see total distance of 250-270 depending on rollout.
5) Can't hit a draw with the club. Several people have tried.
6) Reducing loft on the club gets a lower ball flight, but no real distance gains due to high spin rate.

Requested Solution

I'm looking for anyone who can suggest a driver shaft that has some of the following characteristics, OR has had similar problems/stats to mine and has found something useful as a solution.

1) Low spinning shaft.
2) 60-70 gram weight range.
3) Torque value of say 3.4-4.1
4) Doesn't cost $400. (lol)

Thanks!

When you have 9 billion dollars, the salary likely won't even cover your dry cleaning.

Political life was originally a philanthropic venture as only the rich could afford it as a vocation. Using family fortunes to sustain them, being a politician originally didn't even merit a salary. Of course we became 'enlightened' as to how unfair this all was, and ANYONE should be able to enter politics, and how they should be paid a wage for doing the job, etc.

Trump if he's in it for the money, will have accumulated quite the awesome Rolodex by the time his first term ends. He in theory would have access to dealmakers all over the world that he doesn't have access to now. I don't think we'll need a telethon for Donald when he leaves the WH.

Leaving the business empire in the hands of his kids, or appointed executives would not be a bad thing. He son is said to be business savvy, and his daughter has brain cells to spare, and I'm sure would be more than capable to handle the family business.

Being without real political experience didn't stop Obama, and he already had a decent sized bank account when he got to the WH, so why should the salary stop Trump from serving the country?

Man you Trump haters will whine about anything. lol

Very interesting development now as polls released say the majority of people think Hildabeast is lying about the e-mails.

She's gone to Martha's Vineyard to talk with Obama. Hmmm. Should be interesting. Wonder what deal 'citizen' Clinton is trying to get, and what she has to bargain with?

Is she looking for immunity via Obama covering her e-mails in executive privilege? What dirt does she have on him or even Biden that she can leverage Obama with? You gotta think that Obama and Clinton at some point in her tenure exchanged classified material via e-mail. "Hey, MR. President look at this info." OR "Hey, Hillary, the CIA says President What's His Name watches gay porn. Maybe let that lay on the table during your chat today, and see if we can get a deal."

Is she going to hug it out with Obama as she says on her foreign policy criticisms? She's suddenly feeling repentant? Hmmm. Maybe she wants him to act as her water carrier to the DNC with a message to blow up Bernie Sanders campaign?

So many questions....

Donald Trump simply represents the culmination of the disdain people have for decades of badly managed nationhood.

You can try to demean his candidacy all you want, and drag out the 'crazy' 'chauvinist' 'war on women' cliches all you want. The reality is that the WORLD at one time thought America was to be respected and feared for the riches it could offer its friends, and for the damage it could inflict upon its enemies.

The key was how you chose to apply the riches, and invoke the damages. These were not wisely administered, nor sparingly applied since the 70's. We tried to ingratiate ourselves to friends with untold contracts, industrial expansions, and thinly veiled levels of corruption and bribery. It also seemed that the secrecy required to administer these programs effectively dissolved upon reaching the headlines of the daily paper when those claiming altruistic intentions laid open the machinations of true power politics that no one really wanted to see.

Wars, both small and large were largely unfocused in application, and lacked the public approval so often needed to ride out the bad days of any conflict when young men and women die. We bombed people with the same mentality we use when trying to end the life of an insect. Too often the wrong tool is used, and we waive helplessly as our target ducks and dives our half hearted attempts to end their buzzing annoyances. The wars we executed badly just weren't the military kind. It's been 50 years of the war on poverty, drugs, illiteracy, teenage pregnancy, substandard housing, pollution, and yes, both racism and sexism.

Trump simply is the personification of the question "So, how's that been workin' out for ya?"

Trump is the idealistic guy who believes illegal aliens are bad. Period. They broke the law coming here. Send em' back. Very black and white.

War? You only go when you can win, AND you fight it like you WANT to win first, and not just create a stalemate for the locals to deal with. Think about it for a moment. Since WW II, SEVENTY years ago, how many times has the U.S. gone to war with a country that formally surrendered at the end of the conflict, admitting it was defeated, and didn't become violent again soon after?

Social programs? The 'war' on everything? Trump's position seems to be, we've spend hundreds of billions on people willing to sit home and cash the checks. Enough. Create jobs. Ones that offer people a living wage and self esteem. You WILL take the jobs you CAN do, and if you don't have a good reason for not taking one, you lose your benefits.

Sexism, racism? Does Donald want to live back in the 50's? I don't think so. Personally I think he wants to emulate the 60's. Why? America invented things, went to space, owned technology and harnessed it for things like entertainment and art. Women made political, social,economic and sexual empowerment advances. Racism was discussed, examined under the socio-economic microscope, and it's reprehensible nature was codified in laws of equality.

I think like many people Trump believes the reality of western societies never came close to matching the dreams people had for it. Maybe like the rest of us, he just wants his American made atomic car and atomic house that magazines told us would be the norm.

Disturbing on so many levels.... lol

Sorry Rosie, you may have been relevant and even funny at some point, but not now. Interesting the show host fails to correct her on the timing of the 'free bleeding' runner because it fits her 'war on women' agenda.

For me Rosie will always be a hypocrite. In April 1999 she went off on the gun control issue on her show. It went in part as follows... “I don’t care if you want to hunt. I don’t care if you think it’s your right. I say, ‘Sorry.’ It is 1999. We have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison.” Ok. Fair enough, she has an opinion that guns are bad, and gun owners are as well.

A year later in May 2000 she was called out because the bodyguard of her children had applied for a concealed weapons permit. She had no problem with guns THEN, saying "I don’t personally own a gun, but if you are qualified, licensed and registered, I have no problem." REALLY? So it's ok for armed guards to be deployed around the perimeter of HER home, and it's ok for armed men to protect HER kids, but the rest of you peons? Yeah you're not famous, and you're kids aren't lesbian fashion accessories, so you can die.

So 'fat pig'? Maybe the fat part is a little harsh, but the pig part however seems bang on to me.....

Hmmm. Well I don't need your respect, but you may need someone to sue your school board if they issued you a diploma. What part of this do I need to break out the crayons for you on?

I watched a State Dept spokesman say THEY never sent Hillary Top Secret files. Ok. An extremely dubious claim, but I'll bite. Evidently if State didn't send it, then someone else did then.

In order for Hillary however to get a 'non secret' file, it has been surmised that one of her staff or personal aides scrubbed all references to any Secret tabs. Ok fine. That can ONLY happen if Hillary is NOT on the distribution list of the e-mail that is being sent to her. Whaaattt? IF she's on the distribution list,(for her own incoming email) then she IMMEDIATELY gets a copy of the 'secret' file. Duhhhh. Sending a scrubbed version later doesn't change the fact that even for a minute, she had Secret files on a server that should not have been there before the clean ones shows up.

In order for her to ONLY receive these sanitized files, she can't be sent the originals. So now HOW does a staffer. apparently of their own volition, scrub such files unless they are either willing to be prosecuted for extremely bad judgement, OR they were directed to scrub files before Hillary got them thus maintaining plausible deniability?

Of course, overshadowing all of this is simply the idea of using some common sense. Hillary knows the difference between run of the mill intel, and the 'spooky' stuff being gathered by No Such Agency, Christians In Action, or the NRO. When she opens up an email and sees hi-res Keyhole satellite pics, and other such materials with code word references, and compartmentalized CC lists, she knows this stuff won't be on a Strafor website, or the NY Times front page tomorrow. She knows its sensitive stuff. If she claims not to have realized its actual level of gravitas, and how she should have dealt with it, then that alone should give you pause in electing her. She's too stupid for the gig.

The math on the server seems pretty simple as well. She says that she turned over the server. She didn't. The FBI did not go to her house, knock on the door and have her hand an agent the server. The FBI went to ANOTHER STATE, TO A BUILDING THAT IS NOT A CLINTON HOME, and removed a server that they were told BY AN EMPLOYEE OF THAT COMPANY was blanked out back in 2013. THAT'S A YEAR BEFORE Hillary says she deleted 32,000 emails. So if a BLANK SERVER is sitting in a warehouse since 2013, what server did she delete e-mail from in 2014??

She can only delete those emails in 2014 IF THEY ARE ON A DIFFERENT SERVER, WHICH THE FBI DOES NOT HAVE IN ITS CUSTODY AT THIS TIME.

SO IF I TALK LOUDER AND SLOWER, DOES THAT HELP YOU NOW???? Blind loyalty will not make these problems go away, and will not change the facts as described. Sorry if it hurts you to have to even for a moment entertain the idea that Hillary may not be all sweetness and light, but suck it up Buttercup. She's continually parsed her sentences that she never sent or received documents that were classified Top Secret at the time she had them.

Here's how that works. At 9:00 her aide gets a Top Secret file. At 9:01 Hillary gets the scrubbed version of the file. At 9:02 she sends the info to someone who maybe should not have it, or makes a copy for herself called 'Brownie Recipe with Nuts'. At 9:03 the aide restores the Top Secret tabs. Now, Hillary can honestly say she never sent or received a Top Secret file in this example right? Since the aide gets the original e-mail, everyone else can honestly say they never sent Hillary a Top Secret file, right?

Legal semantics. Plausible deniability. The allies of politicians everywhere. Even those you may like, and want to vote for.

Up here in Canada Bernie seems to be operating in a vacum. I watch ABC News, CNN News, occasionally FOX and even in a pinch CBS (ack). I have yet to see any in-depth reporting on Bernie regarding the speeches he's given, or coverage of these big 25,000+ person rallies, etc.

I keep on hearing poll numbers for Bernie are going up, and how he's starting to get endorsements, but I can't recall seeing a reporter doing a stand up piece saying something to the effect of "Huge crowds gathered today to hear Bernie Sanders talk about how badly Washington works...", blah blah yadda yadda and then cut to video of 30 seconds of video with the Bern man bringing the gathered masses to their feet with some rousing barnburner speech.

Am I simply not seeing the big network coverage he gets 3-5 mins of each night, or is Bernie a sensation simply because Hillary isn't being one?

Comments?

Well I won't believe she's toast until she either officially withdraws or is not the nominee after the convention.

Clinton's are political survivors. Someone usually falls on their sword for them. They're already positioning a designated patsy based on this changing the e-mails before she got them scenario.

Based on the latest info, she may be running if for no other reason than the one I suggested, which is being able to keep herself out of jail.

Oh the "Hillarious" explanation now being offered on the 'Top Secret' e-mails, is that someone on her staff or from her 'inner circle' took the time to strip all references of Top Secret classifications from the items BEFORE Hildabeast saw them.

So here's what I'm supposed to believe.

1) The State Department puts together an intel package with satellite pics, and with analysis being provided by an analyst of an alphabet agency. The contents are according to the State Department NOT secret, because they are saying she never received ANY Top Secret files from them.
2) The NOT Top Secret package is then sent out to Clinton.
3) The routing of the e-mail magically sends it to someone who removes the 'Top Secret' tabs that supposedly WERE NOT ON THE PACKAGE TO START WITH when the State Department sent it.
4) Even though the package was supposed to go to Clinton, she apparently is not on her own distribution list, because she ONLY gets the 'sanitized' email AFTER the State Department sent it to her!

NOW, if you haven't yet choked on that load of crap, it seems we have an issue with the 'server' Hildabeast 'turned over' to the FBI. They actually picked it up from a company in New Jersey who were storing it. An employee says the server is blank because they actually upgraded the server back in 2013!

Really? That's funny, because in March 2015, Hildabeast said she wiped out the 32,000 missing emails in 2014. So those could have only been deleted from the 'new' or upgraded server, since the old one in storage was 'blanked' the year before.

Based on this information, seems to me the FBI has the wrong server, and Hillary is obstructing justice. I guess she'll need to play the "Oh you mean THAT server?" card. So it will take another year or so for us to get that one, likely AFTER she goes through the 2016 nomination and likely even the election.

IF she became President, and some intrepid investigator finds the Top Secret emails, does she just claim executive privilege and lock them up for 50 years?

Hmmmmm

Well watching ABC news tonight Hildabeast the lawyer parsed her words carefully, saying she never sent or received emails that contained classified information at the time. If the email was classified Top Secret later, (and she deleted any copies immediately) then she's claiming to be in the clear.

As I understand the U.S. classification rules, once a device has classified info on it (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) it instantly becomes U.S. government property with any and all applicable laws now governing the use of the device.

Documents found were allegedly of a SI/TK/NOFORN classification series. The sequence denoting 'SI'-Special Intelligence as a source usually under alphabet organization control like No Such Agency (NSA). This info is only supposed to be stored at a SCIF rated facility (Special Compartmentalized Intelligence Facility). Essentially a very high security room which has highly restricted physical access, and cannot be electronically penetrated. TK-Denoting a platform the intel was generated from. In this case the 'T'alent providing the intel was a 'K'eyhole satellite platform. The NOFORN designation is that the intel is only eligible to be seen by U.S. citizens. So in theory even U.S. allies would not have access to this information unless approval is given to 'read in' a foreign national on the material.

This sound like yoga e-mails to you? Bridesmaid dress e-mails? Clinton Foundation stuff? So as noted above, if the material as described was on her server, she lied, and she broke the law since her computer was then U.S. government property, and not her personal server.

Hmmmmm.

Have seen some of the videos online that people were taking from their bedrooms or living rooms at the time of the explosions.

These were massive detonations by any standards. Looks like LNG (liquified natural gas) storage facilities based on the structures I saw in the vids.

Extremely high pressure shock waves collapsed the adjacent storage tanks, breached the contents, and created an instantaneous mass detonation.

I'm going to suggest hundreds may be dead based on the obvious effects of fire, high speed shrapnel, larger falling debris, collapsed buildings, shattered windows and doors, etc.

It's one of those things you look at, and are astonished at the brutal power of what an industrial accident can do in a couple seconds. There is no fire safety program that prepares people for what happened here.

Feel the Bern...What you do in a bath house to a guy named Bern.

Anyway, the premise of this thread is completely valid. A Dem writes this stuff and it's 'art' or 'fiction'. A Conservative writes it, and it would be proof of the 'war on women' by Republicans. Ah, the smell of rampant hypocrisy, it smells like...victory.

Bernie should now gain a couple more polling points and send the DNC looking for a better alternative now that Hildabeast has been found to have actually had 'Top Secret' documents on her server. Of course she'll play the "Oh it was an honest mistake." card or the "File was mis-classified" option. She could also just go nuclear and accuse her political enemies of 'planting' the files on her super secret, more secure than the State Dept server.

I'm so hoping this is the beginning of the end for Clinton influence over Washington, and that Hillary gets dragged from the courtroom screaming "I want to negotiate!" while staring down 20 years to life upon conviction.

The dirt the Clintons have on people, and I'm sure what others have on them, could end in an orgy of leaks, recriminations, and character assassination that could cripple the DNC for a decade. It could also force America into its 'Come To Jesus' moment on how politics are performed in their names on a daily basis, and how it will need to change.

Interesting stuff. If you can prove that attorneys moved to suppress and even ignore clearly exculpatory evidence, these cops walk on the murder charges and a mistrial will be declared.

You can then follow up with a federal civil rights trial, or maybe even a wrongful death civil trial, but with a clearly tainted investigation, you can easily squash all evidence gleaned from it.

The lawyers telling investigators to ignore evidence? They get disbarred.

If these cops walk out the door untouched because the system tried too hard to appease the black community and convict them at all costs, it will restart the riots 10 minutes after the announcement is made.

Bet on it.

Well the 'unmarked' van was reported to have had red and blue emergency lights activated upon arriving on scene, so there is no doubt it was the Po-Po. No word if the siren had been activated.

When you bust caps at Five-O, they tend to get a little annoyed and will shoot back. (Dur)Pretty sure this kid understood the game before he decided to play it. Said to be a friend of the late Michael Brown, you would think he would have exercised a couple more brain cells than to shoot at the cops.

As you would expect any family member to say, his innocence is being touted, and the police excoriated. Once again though, no body cams on the cops. Gun recovered was allegedly stolen, and family says the kid doesn't pack heat when he leaves the house. May very well be he met up with someone who armed him for another reason other than the march. Maybe the cops will be able to pull other prints from the gun, the magazine, or the ammo which would back up the family a little.

Hopefully the kid pulls through and we can get some answers on his side of the story.

Yeah, I'm betting her parents are soooo proud. Running and bleeding. Hmmm. Kinda mastered that at about 9 months learning to walk. Step, step, fall, *crunch*, get up, "waaahhh!" run to parent with a split lip, forehead, whatever. I didn't have the skills to do a marathon at that age though, but I bled like a champion. By the age of 6 I was a member of the 300 stitch club. Lifetime total is 500+. I'm lookin' for a frickin' trophy people.

I will admit though, she did raise my awareness of third world feminine product shortages. Silly me. I assume through the thousands of years of recorded history, women had found ways to cope before the Kotex company simply sprang into existence, and solved the problem. I understand though Kotex has edited a recent commercial to remove running as something women can do on their periods. Unfortunately ladies all that's left is yoga, horseback riding, bike riding, beach volleyball, and posing in bikinis with your friends. Good luck with that!

You gotta admit, she's gonna be a great one to introduce the family. You know how some women maybe have a funny laugh, or they are terminally perky, or maybe have noticeably bad driving skills? How many women have you brought home and introduced to the family as a 'public bleeder'?

Although the jokes on her. Go ahead, try to turn down your boyfriend for sex! Ha! "Oh I'm sorry Pumpkin, you have a headache? Roll the tape boys! HOURS of bleeding and cramping! I just want like 5-10 minutes!" he says. Throw those legs up in the air Snowflake.

In the end though running and bleeding? Not a challenge. 18 bean burritos and 6 Ex-Lax? There ya go Princess, set the bar high for next year.....

Kudos to the reporter for having some ethical standards. The whole reality genre has played itself out. I DON'T CARE if some non-celebrity broke a nail, had sex with a rapper, or just ate a Cheeto and has run to the toilet to purge herself.

I never understood the allure of spending endless hours watching other families live their lives instead of you living yours. Man, talk about get a life!

Same as the 'selfies' posted billions of times a day by people begging for acceptance and positive reinforcement. Your self worth should NOT be measured by whether or not a guy from Peru clicks 'Like' for you.

We have become so detached from the skills required to socialize on a personal 'real world' level, that I have seen people vapor lock on trying to answer the simple "So how's it going?" from the coffee shop employee making your non-fat, half caf/half decaf, low foam, soya milk, nuclear free, dolphin safe, frappamochaalpacino.

Get you collective heads out of the internets a**, and try to do something with your life while you are here. Counting yourself as having achieved the illustrious title of 'ongoing member of the human race' isn't quite the big deal you may think it is......

Well my question was if you had seen 'in-depth' coverage on these events, not the simple reporting of them having happened.

I don't consider Google and Yahoo my personal choices as repositories of hard hitting, analytical, long form interview news sources. I'm thinking more the CNN's, MSNBC's, FOX's, etc.

With a body count similar to the Charleston killings, and arguably just as brutal a circumstance, (innocent people in church vs. innocent people in their home, handcuffed and shot.) I'm trying to understand why there isn't more media 'outrage'.

Normally one could at least rely on a Nancy Grace interview where she tries to ramp up the fear, and tries to contextualize the terror. "Those poor babies hearing mama and daddy being shot." or conversely, "Those defenseless parents, handcuffed, and no way to protect their babies being shot by this man." You know, playing the gore card.

Where's Don Lemon of CNN on this? Rachel Maddow? How is it possible in our 24 hour news cycle THIS STORY loses out to Donald Trump talking about where Megyn Kelly is or isn't bleeding from? REALLY?

My assertion is frankly that the media does NOT give a rat's a** about 'black lives' unless it meets a narrative for THEM that will envelop issues of racial strife, killer cops, or gun control (assault rifles/high capacity magazines/background checks) or the simple body count. If it's horrendous black on black crime? The media's reaction?

'Meh. S*it happens.'
