  1. The Senate was elected for six year terms to insulate from a demagogue gaining too much power by gaining a temporary majority. It was to slow down changes to insure that they actually represented more than the emotions of the moment. More importantly, the Senators were selected by the state legislatures to represent the state's interest so that a small group of powerful people didn't override the interests of the smaller states. This started being undone by direct election which gave. Political parties greater power, the staggered election further increased the chance of changes created on an emotional push by a demagogue. Can we return to the original concepts, I doubt it. Can we at least keep an emotionally driven majority oppressing the minority and their interests.

  2. Mayor Adams blames Texas for doing exactly what he is doing except Mayor Adam's said New York City would welcome them. These towns didn't ask for them.

  3. No, not fire them all, just any who are at the top level whose ideology is socialist and who protect anyone supporting that ideology. That doesn't mean silencing the ideology, just insuring that the scale isn't weighted in their favor.

  5.  @thesciguy4823  My granduncle sat at a Thanksgiving table after President Kennedy was elected and laughed about how the Democrat Machine stole the election in Chicago and Cook County which than stole Illinois. Why was that important, he was a 28 years Democrat member of the city council of a Cook County suburb and a leader in the party in both Chicago and the county. Very little has changed but the leadership of that Machine.

  6. Depending on the classification, that will be the first element on reducing the number of people who could be the leaker. The higher the classification, the more limited are the number of people with potential access. Second who had duties requiring access to the material (possibly even limiti n g the number of actions that even received the material. I have seen it, but given what I have heard described; it probably included Top Secret and possibly (if sources or methods were mentioned) Top Secret SCI classified documents from that point AF Electronic Security Command and the other services equivalents will be able to home in on the leader. However, there is one other possibility, that the leak was from a civilian employee s with tacit permission from above. That is in a conspiracy theory realm so far; but the longer it takes to find, identify, and take action increases the odds that a conspiracy theory will be at least considered.

  8. Whether these people realize this or not, standard times provides a way to relate times to a standard. There were 24 time zones world wide and you could relate timed events or work hours. Making daylight saving times year round means that people dealing with US companies or markets will have an issue on this point.

  12.  nigel thornberry  Making Standard Time mandatory does the same thing, and continues to allow people and businesses to use a standard. This was established to provide a uniform means of operating internationally. On a personal level, you want to call a family member in another country, the 24 standard time zones allow you to determine when to call for the least issue of the day and night cycle. The US using a different time schedule than the one in 23 other time zones makes that harder. All forms of business have one more factor. If you don't want the nonsense of changing the clocks, make the existing Stzndard Time the year around norm.

  13.  @johnsonhunglo1993  Besides having the lack of civility for which you condemn the Republicans, and the dicatorship attempts of under 50% of the US population via the Dennocrat Party, the Senate is doing its job; keeping a rabid minority from dominating the nation.

  16. Actually "No taxation without representation". There actually were representatives 8n Parliament at the time, but they weren't elected in the colonies by the colonists. Parliament at the time was handled in a way that makes gerrymandering look good. You didn't have to live in the district that you represented, and candidates were selected by elites and ran in areas that they controlled.

  17.  @davidvonkettering204  By this point, hanging probably would have been the punishment. Either way the risked their lives and fortunes, no matter the cancel movement for the slave owners day, they were men of their time. It is a shame that we h a very forgotten so much of t he intent. No state was to control the Capitol, that is why the District of Columbia. It was to be a small Government controlling things that required a unified response, defense and mail. There weren't to be any political parties. The people didn't elect the President; but rather Electors who were supposed to reflect the will of the people electing them. The electors were to sit down and decide on the nest man for the job of President, today it would be the best person. The Senator were elected by state legislator and were to represent their states and have a long enough term that demagogues won't control the results. The people's direct representatives were the member of the House of Representatives. Their terms were short to allow for public approval and sentiment to be expressed but we ith the Senats to prevent a demagogue from gaining control. We lost all that though, parties were formed and the electors came to represent party candidates and the Representatives the same. Fina lly, the Senators became party candidates no longer representing the State and long term interests; but rather the party's current ideologies and leaders, made worse in some ways by a third of the Senate being elected every two years. Instead of a parttime Government the positions worked throughout the year with a permanent bureaucracy to run it. Then Administrative courts were added that didn't follow the Constitution since people hauled in front of them are presumed guilty and have to p r over their innocence. Now, we are rapidly becoming a one party state whose elected officials lie with impunity. Franklin, if I remember, said something to the effect we have give you a republic if you can keep it. The Founders are at least rollin in their graves.

  19.  @JackHartigan  Not really, or you won't have so many wanting thd change over to stop. The only question is do we want evrry country eventually using their own system or return to the Standard System. Business was a winner with the semiannual change since it did reduce requirements for energy use. It has been going on so long that unless you study history; you don't know why this particular dance was started. Too many Government behaviors started for good reason, but have continued because bureaucracies don't like abolishing things. Not related but pertinent, remember the military's super expensive hammers and toilet seats? Well procurement officials were using the same standard contract for them as nuclear weapons components which required large amounts of paperwork and compliance documentation, most of the cost actually was the administrative expense of documentation and the personal running the system. Bureaucracies are like that, tell them you need a tack and you get a gold plated one because it is easier to duplicate the requisition than right a specific one. Similarly, look at the end of year spending sprees. You have to spend what you requested for the year or next year the budget. I was overseas, and needed an item, the contract was outsourced to a special purchasing program rather than either a company normally in the business or allowing me to get a host country contractor. Two years in a row contractors under that program failed to deliver; and since I was prohibited from filling the funds over, I had to spend them and place the new request in the following years budget. The special procurement policy involved was a failure; but politics and social concerns made sure that we were stuck with it. So not all dumb things are done for power and control, but rather ideology and/or laziness.

  25.  @amberam7437  Yes, you have a point, President Biden (OBribeMe) doesn't do rallies. Considering how often he loses track, or has a loss for words during his few press gatherings and getting lost on stage (from his apparent wandering and excessive guidance from helpers) a rally with its noise and distractions would result in a disaster.

  29.  @LeadStarDude  That it gets dark too early on Standard Time is an opinion, not a fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. I can say one thing the vast majority of the population hate the time changes. I would, personally, prefer standard time, my wife's family lives on the 9ther side of the world. I do research and contact people in other countries, so my preference is the Standard Time.

  30. No police officers were murdered in the riots. Do a little research, no one has ever identified one killed in the riot. The only man that 5hey associate with that died days later from a stroke. There were some suicides later that some blame on the riots, but that makes zero sense. Check out police suicide rates, well above the national average ; perhaps anyone involved in a traffic stop where the officer later commits suicide, has a heart attack or has a stroke should be charged with murder under that logic. I suspect that you won't agree with that logic.

  31.  @a_voice_in_the_wilderness  Only a lack of historical knowledge, not propaganda, covers your comments. Go back to the 30's and the reason that Palestinians lost their lands were that the actual landowners sold the land out from under them to the Zionist movement. The fighting, actually started in the 1930's because once off their lands, there was no work or place for them. You can go back further to the British Foreign Office deal to get loans with the Rothchild family's help. They promised Palestine to the Zionist Movement despite having promised it the leaders of the Arabian Peninsula. I almost for got Syria and Lebanon were promised to France earlier and then repromised to those same Arabian leaders. So who do you want to blame; and I haven't even mentioned the UN's 1947 partition vote which actually violated its charter. That vote allowed the European nations that either helped the NAZIs or were passive to them thereby making the genocide occur. They didn't want to accept the survivors back, and didn't care about Arabs/Palestinians. There are many parents to today's Middle Eastern misery. I did notice however, that you ignored the fact that they are freer than minorities and political factions in many Moslem countries.

  32. Lets see: Some Democrats consider 16 year olds are mature enough to vote (deciding who should control the military forces of the US. Most Democrats support even younger minor to obtain permanent alterations to their bodies, effectively neutering them since while the cosmetic change can be undone the actual reproductive damage can not be undone. Many Democrats want minors to obtain abortions without parental approval, yet at the same time hold them responsible in some states for the minors actions. Some Democrats require the minor to be unable to have a regular drivers license until 18, or have time of day or other restrictions. Do the Democrats seem to have a different idea of mental maturity based on the Democrats political beliefs rather than science ? The Democrats use the word "science" as a fighter leaf to hide their hypocrasy.

  33. First question are schools open? Was the young lady going to school? Why was she out at 11:30 on a school night? Does her uncle have any involvement with criminal elements, either opposing them or part of them? Answer those questions before you use the term gun violence. There isn't gun violence in most of the country its gang violence which the Progressives never call out.

  40.  @KatrinaRoseT  You seem to have missed a key point, the US was never meant to be a Democracy. One quote from from one of the founders is something to the effect that they had give the people a republic if they could keep it. The point is that one of the potentially worst forms of government is democracy. It is inherently unstable subject to the whim of the mob and the current rabble router leading it; think the French Revolution that led to the Terror which saw the mob turn on one leader after another and finally resulting in Napoleon'sFrench Empire. Under your plan a popular leader could sieze power by controlling a few large population centers which that leader effectively buys off (think the Democrat Dynasties in New York (mostly through control of New York City and the area around it; Illinois due to Chicago and C(r)ook County; or California by control of LA and San Franciso and the areas around them). People outside of these areas in the state have to live with policies that can be failing in these cities. Is oligarchy what you want be cause that is what you see out democracies descend into before dictatorship of some form (call it kingdom, empire or people's republic.

As to likening them to Southern Democrats of old, which party supports resegregating the US? If you guessed the Progressive Democrats, you were right.

  56.  @larry6601  i am not going to say open source. My problem is the programmer, their ethics and the country/company that hires them. How many of the hacks come from countries that provide large companies with their software engineers? How many have designed various forms of mallard or ransomware? You assume that everyone is honest and ethical; I don't. Some years ago one of the major voting software originated in Venezuela, Madero was in charge. Do you think that a communist dictator won't have his hands in the mix. I have lost track of exactly where the software is written now, but I worry; not about programming skills; but rather, as I said, the morals, ethics and political beliefs of the sources.

  57.  @larry6601  That is where we will have to agree to disagree. Arizona this last was set for 19 inch ballots and the ballots, and from a third to a half of polling places had 20 inch wide ballots delivered. This was a software glitch, but it could easily have been changed by a software adjustment. In 2020, there was a software update shortly before the election that was improperly installed. The issue was verified to have occurred, but no neutr al party check of that update was made to my knowledge. I would agree that most voter fraud does take place by other methods; but data driven systems are only as honest as the people do who develop and run it. I have very little faith that an industry which predominately supports the Democrat Party or the Left and feels like arson and physical assault are acceptable forms of protest won't misuse their abilities would not use them believing the ends justify the means. This isn't just paranoid thinking, I was around. Special and Psy Ops communities, and have some idea of what is possible from that angle.

  58.  @larry6601  Ranked choice and open primaries are abominations. The open primary means that the top two or three vote getters run against each for the office. Which means in California, no Republicans or Conservative stands a chance at state wide office. You run enough candidates in the primary dilute the vote and there usually the choice is between the two most left candidates. As electronic voting, the weak point is how politically lopsided that we find both programmers and firms are. Your basic assumption is that there will be enough review to insure an algorithm that adds, subtracts or alters votes can't be inserted into the software without being discovered. My position is that it can be done. Not strictly analogous, but we have seen the social media copies place there thumbs on the scales of an election by either suppressing news or hyping it for their preferred candidate. Run this scenario in your head. Company X is run by a firm believer in socialism (or venal enough to be bribed or weak enough to submit to threats). He/she hires socialist believers for whatever reason to write or update election software; and they modify it to alter the vote count in someway. This altered software is than provided to voting districts or states who support the cause. An alternative is sending people from the company to update software immediately before an election. In districts supporting their side no one will be allowed to challenge the election and the company will refuse to allow the software to be checked. This defeats all of your safeguards because from the company to the user all are in on the scheme. In other words, a computer can only do what its software tells it to do. Hacking the program while running may be impossible, but corrupting the software is very doable if a group desires it.

  59.  @larry6601  I am no professional programmer, but on several occassions I have worked closely with them in developing programs/record systems that I needed. 8n at least one case, I caught the assumption that the programmer made that turned an existing data base into garbage when forgot that those entering the data did not all finish an entry the same (some added a space). The affect was cumulative, throwing each next entry off by an additional amount, the NRC wasn't happy with the results and it rolled down hill. I have done some simple programming myself after I bought my first computer back in 1982. So I do brave great respect for those with the patience to work at it. My work involved command and control, planning for, responding to, and recovering from various emergencies and disasters (man-made or natural). As a result I have a strong belief that a certain percentage (usually small thank God) are totally unethical, will cut corners or try to cheat. So, I am routinely assume the worst and hope for the best. If you've planned on the worst, anything less is easy. Also effecting my beliefs is the fact that I have spent a great deal of my military time around special ops and electronic security units. Some thing that makes it easy to accept that there are people out there ours and theirs who are willing and able to do not so wonderful things. Not bad when it happens to an enemy, not so much when your side is on the receiving end. Something to remember is that the system used in Arizona (and some other states in 2020) fought releasing information on their system because it was proprietary, not an open system. It was in Arizona where someone from the company made a software upgrade after the machines were certified according to some sources. We'll never know for sure because the court cases never got to discovery. So, to me, these were two red flags that should have been checked and resolved. If you have nothing to hide, why hide.

Screws up a person's biological clock leading to possible increases in accidents until the sleep cycle is renewed. It does cause business and personal time issues.

They have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic; and portions of any socialist program violates that Constitution. Their support for socialism violates their oath and in my opinion renders them unfit to hold office. They have a right to their beliefs, and the method to change the Constitution is amendments not oath breaking or betrayal. I will not stop them from trying to legally change things but I will stand in the way of violating the C o nstitution.

Violating the Constitution should be a crime, and in some cases, it is. Etoile are sentenced for violating someone's rights. Think Federal charges for civil rights violations. Antifa and BLM have repeatedly violated individuals' rights and some Congress people (in both Houses) have conspired to violate citizens' rights by passing unconstitutional laws. We are not going to see them held to account;but yes we can avoid electing them and impeach those who don't honor their oaths.

  86.  @pk7ghalm23  If it hasn't changed, that Guard unit was tied to AF Special Ops, so it is conceivable that it could have received the material; my problem than is how he could have seen and copied or duplicated the material unless he was either in the intel shop or someone sc--wed up badly. I suspected some other people either were negligent in their responsibilities or complicit. I saw people separated for far less.

  87.  @pk7ghalm23  Another source indecated that he worked in the Intel Shop. Some other individuals' careers are potentially at severe risk even if they weren't directly involved.

  88.  @pk7ghalm23  An Airman 1st Class, someone above him dropped the ball or was involved. He had to be very low in the chain of command.

  89.  @brrjohnson8131  Possible, but more likely some long service NCO or Officer wasn't keeping their eye on their duty and personnel, and someone who shouldn't have been able to get away with misconduct did. Not at the same level, I took over a function that the previous command hadn't been concerned about. The people doing that job did the minimum or less. It took changing the duty uniform to st andout to keep some of them from being anywhere than where they were supposed to be. The officer that I replaced had been fired (sent home a little over a year into an accompanied three year tour) because of the damage to an aircraft that shouldn't have happened.

  90. It has gotten weirder. A 21 year old Airman Basic with at least a Top Secret Clearance; and the way the article phrased it, he may have had Sensitive Compartmented Information access as well since the comment was the highest level top secret information and SCI is the only thing higher that I know. So, how did he obtain that level of clearance? Did his duties require access to the information that he released? Was his supervisor paying any attention to what he was doing?
