Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (12/13/16)

Let us continue to fight for our 1st Amendment rights. Europe is afraid of their own shadows at this time. Appeasement is not working. Give the Muslims an inch and they will take a yard.

As Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said, "These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it." There are extremist Muslims and non-extremist Muslims, but there is only one Islam.

Free speech is no longer free in Europe. And Islam is used as a crutch to rationalize criminal behavior.

.... man charged with a crime has the right to the best defense he can make, but his lawyer ought not to offer preposterous arguments in mitigation when he is convicted.
Michael Coe was a violent and persistent criminal, who, under the influence of a jihadist, converted to Islam while serving an eight-year prison sentence for having shot at a policeman during an arrest. He became an associate of Anjem Choudary, an extremist preacher born in Britain who was recently jailed for his support of ISIS. For Coe, Islam was merely the continuation of violent crime by other means—or for other ends

Maybe if Europeans developed a better relationship with God Allah they would have a better life. German politician supports introduction of Sharia Law.

On the other hand, Socialism works doesn't it? Dammit!!!! You will have a Merry Christmas!!!

Kreisel’s two managers were arrested and accused of fraud and economic boycott. Sundde is also calling to ban them from leaving the country.

Venezuela is currently struggling with the highest inflation in the world, estimated at 475 percent by 2016, according to the IMF. Its Bolivar lost 75 percent of its value since last September.

The toys imported to Venezuela between 2008 and 2014 were stored in Kreisel warehouses to be sold with surcharges of up to 34,000 percent, Contreras said.

Last week, the government ordered stores to slash prices by 30 percent, with business owners complaining that the move pushes them to bankruptcy. However, many customers welcomed the decision.

We don't have a perfect form of government. Then again nothing man does is perfect. But, The ONT will take a capitalistic , representative republic form over any other form of government.

Quotes Of The Day

Quote I

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

Are you paying attention sniveling/sobbing/whining Hillary voters?

Quote II

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing you can do is keep your mind young. Mark Twain

Quote III

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. H. L. Mencken

Unequal gender justice or A closer look at the special snowflakes. Its about time disappointment be taught and that schools of higher learning get the hell out of the relationship biz.

‘A cry for help’

The relationship between Smith and Doe was far from perfect.

In October 2014, according to court documents, Smith emailed Sarah Bolton, then dean of Williams College, claiming she had an argument with Doe. The argument, in which Doe allegedly called Smith “selfish” and told her he couldn’t even look at her, caused Smith to request a week off from classes to recover. At no point in the email did Smith allege that Doe had physically hurt her.

On this day, December 13, 2000 Al Gore conceded the presidency to George W. Bush. Although Bush had his faults, our country was better served by him than the manbearpig former VP and global warming Climate Change Huckster.

Baby boomers aging. Life spans becoming shorter. There still is no cure for the common cold. Per Med Students racism is a public health crisis. The ONT guesses that the black on black crime in this country is a myth.

“The election this week has left us angry, upset, and afraid,” the group wrote in a statement shortly after Trump’s upset victory over Hillary Clinton. “The racism, misogyny, xenophobia, transphobia, and homophobia that catapulted Donald Trump to the White House have pervaded our country and our health care system for hundreds of years.”

So the med students are worried about the racism crisis. Why not worry about a real crisis? The ONT may have been born at night. But, it wasn't born last night. Or here's another lie about The Affordable Care Act Obamacare.

Have a hankering for an unusual meal? Tired of the same old menu at home? Be the first on your block to travel to eat at a Dutch Restaurant That Serves Up ‘My Little Pony’ Burgers Made From Actual Pony.

A restaurant named the Unwanted Animal Kitchen, located in the Dutch city of Breda, is a “creative breeding ground for conscious citizens and radical ex-hippie squatters,” as Vice helpfully explains. The food truck, apparently started by an artist duo, has an unusual take on the concept of waste — basically, that humans shouldn’t treat animals like disposable products, and that one obvious fix is to turn them into food when they stop being so “useful.” The truck boasts a one-of-a-kind menu highlighting the “wild flavor” of animals otherwise doomed to die, like old horses, pigeons, canal crayfish, and parakeets. Twice a year, it hosts a five-course “Big Pest Dinner” that might feature coot or some rats. Goose croquettes and something called Bambi Balls were also early favorites, but the big-ticket item has always been the $18 My Little Pony burger, seen up at top-left with its pink-ribbon pony flag.

There is something to be said for meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans or a hamburger jazzed up somewhat. Some interesting combos for your next burger.

What are you partial to? Did you see anything here you would like to try?

The ONT is curious if this study was funded by government. Spending by AAA doesn't scream out at us here at The ONT.

The U.S. has a treasure trove of historic sites to visit, but geography makes it nearly impossible to visit them all in one trip—or does it? Led by University of Waterloo professor William Cook, a team of researchers used Google Maps and the famous “traveling salesman" mathematics problem to figure out the shortest route to see every single site on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, as Travel + Leisure reports.

The trip covers more than 217,605 miles and includes more than 49,600 sites, ending back at the original starting point. To put that into context: the distance from Earth to the Moon is 238,900 miles

Like father, like son. Shocked that a Democrat would find his way to prison. Shocked.

Three of Fattah’s associates have already received convictions on racketeering conspiracy.

Fattah represented Philadelphia for 22 years before facing defeat in his Democrat primary this April. He resigned in June after his conviction.

His son Chaka Fattah, Jr., is currently serving a five-year prison sentence on bank and tax fraud charges.

Could another Dem be in legal trouble? Harry Reid investigation into bribery? If I were a betting man, I would bet that the Reid story is more plausible than Russian election hacking.
