@marcthiessen Hell, yes!

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@GadSaad They just keep manufacturing (oops, I mean “counting”) votes until the Democrats win.

@elonmusk Isn’t Tillis retiring at the end of this year?

@BuzzPatterson @ChadBianco @BuzzPatterson - It would help you to learn how elections work in California. What we have now is NOT a winner-take-all situation. The top two (likely Hilton and Becerra) will be on the ballot in November. No one has been elected already.

I used to cast my lot with those protesting the demotion of Pluto to "Dwarf Planet"... "ripping out the very heart of my '9 planets' childhood!"

But after reading the excellent Smithsonian book The Planets, I've changed my mind and made my peace. The division is *not* arbitrary, it turns out. A regular planet is one whose gravity is sufficient to sweep its orbit of debris; not so the Dwarf Planets. And besides, Eris' diameter is a full **twenty kilometers** more than Pluto's—were we just supposed to promote this later-comer to planetary status? Everyone's childhoods gets shattered either way, so much better to shatter on the side of objectivity.

And btw, speaking of planetary debates... 2 moons, Ganymede of Jupiter, and Titan of Saturn, are both bigger than Mercury. And SEVEN moons are bigger than Pluto (and Eris.) So maybe just be glad we aren't being told to call them "Dwarf Moon Planets" or such.

So go spend time worrying about world events, make peace with Pluto's status, and learn about its sister Dwarf Planet Eris!

So heartening seeing the British people fighting back against the insanity into which their country has descended. #ForHenry

@TulsiGabbard Best wishes for a full recovery.

@danieljmitchell What makes you think they care?

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@BuzzPatterson @ChadBianco Sorry, but combined GOP vote totals are nowhere near 50%. This race was going to a run-off in November whether there was only one Republican in it or not. We would *not* “have a Republican governor this morning” in either case.

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@BuzzPatterson @ChadBianco Makes no difference (fortunately). No one will get 50%, Hilton will make the top-two runoff, and the race will be decided in November. The bad news is that the *combined* total is still strongly Democrat.

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@ZeekArkham I have no idea, but my guess is probably not, because many Republicans disdain mail-in voting. Anyway, Hilton doesn’t have to win the primary, just finish in the top two. As long as no one gets over 50%, the top two go to a run-off in November.

@ChadBianco Your ego trip is going to hand the election to Marxists.

The Carroll case rested on a sequence of legal maneuvers with no precedent in American civil litigation. Democratic legislators passed a retroactive temporary law eliminating the statute of limitations for decades-old accusations that could not be dated, located, or defended with alibis. The day the temporary law took effect, Carroll filed her pre-prepared lawsuit, the first in the state to do so.

A Democratic mega-donor secretly funded the plaintiff’s legal costs through a nonprofit. The arrangement stayed hidden until one of Trump’s lawyers discovered it. A Clinton-appointed judge then sealed all records so the jury never learned the billionaire backer had publicly committed to Trump’s political destruction. Every participant in the legislative, funding, and judicial steps operated inside the same political network, and each decision produced the same cumulative result.

The jury explicitly checked “no” on the verdict form’s specific rape question. The judge ruled rape proven anyway, claiming the jury had used a common rather than statutory definition… an impossibility, since their rejection under the common definition precludes rape by any standard. Trump’s team was barred from arguing innocence before a second jury, which awarded $83.3 million ($65 million punitive) on the rape finding the first jury had rejected.

A defendant was sued for defamation over denying an accusation, prevented from asserting that denial as a defense, tried before a judge who concealed the plaintiff’s political funding, and hit with a nine-figure verdict built on facts the jury itself refused to find.

No comparable sequence exists in recorded U.S. civil litigation history.

@GadSaad Where we disagree is over whether she is being empathetic, or is a power-lusting monster. The rank-and-file are duped by suicidal empathy, no doubt. But not the leaders. Was Hitler an empath? Stalin? Mao?

This is a perfect example of why it's probably already too late to stop the inexorable takeover of the US by Muslims. They've used the same playbook since the Dark Ages, when their cult was founded by the warmongering anti-Semitic, misogynist, homophobic, sadistic, schizophrenic, pedophile Mohammed: if you can't take over militarily, you take over demographically. Due to the large donations now being made to politicians of any stripe that are in charge, there will be no practical way realistically to stop the things like: mass prayers impeding daily events; loud broadcast calls to prayer; demands for things like halal slaughter and bans on pork; restrictions on dog ownership; demands to tolerate burquas; and on and on. Where they've taken over local councils, they impose their religious restrictions on the community. (There is no conception whatsoever of "individual rights" in Islam) You see the outrageous disproportionate exposure Ilhan Omar gets on her public pronouncements. Etc.

It's *not* a conspiracy driven by some secret central authority; it is openly prescribed in Islamic texts and openly preached by its Imams, including in Western Mosques. "Death to America" is not some meaningless catchphrase; it literally means: "Replace America with an Islam State." And wealthy Muslims around the world want to help in every way they can, especially by defusing potential opposition by likely politicians such as a blue-state governor of TX. The money works its magic in untold ways, from denying prominent chairmanships to outspoken critics of Islam, to whispers to withdraw bills contrary to Islamic expansionist interests, and so on. Every once in awhile a "trial balloon" like that proposed TX all-Muslim city will get knocked down; but it will just re-emerge again later, with less opposition.

Most Americans are too naive to understand this process, and may reject it for its conspiratorial tones. But that's because most Americans really have no idea how basic ideas operate and drive events.

Yet it is happening...

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@bradaisa And then you have people who *do* understand how basic ideas operate, such as @AynRandInst, who still maintain that we should welcome with open arms all the Muslims who want to move here.

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@BuzzPatterson You would think any reasonably bright high school student could figure this out. The math isn’t that difficult.

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@GadSaad @GretaThunberg She also has moderately severe mental health problems.

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@marcuslemonis I wish I were, but no. I’m retired and I think it would be better if you found someone starting his or her career.

[Mark Wallace @Mark92691]

@guypbenson You would think this would be obvious to any reasonably bright high school student. Just do the math.
