THE QUOTES OF THE DAY


Quote I

“Because I was like talking to James Corden earlier saying yeah and I told him I said look, my father’s a black panther my mother got arrested for the sit-ins at age six.

“They were fighting for us to have the right to our opinion- not the right to vote for whoever the white liberals said black people are supposed to vote for,”Kanye West


Quote II

“I’m not a bad guy,” he said. “I’m just an honest guy that says I don’t like Oprah Winfrey or Joy Behar.”Kid Rock


Quote III

I am SO DAMN TIRED of your blathering on and on about politics. Come on and debate me. Light me up big guy. Let’s see what you got, away from your keyboard or the safe confines of friendly cable nets. Up your game Georgie~ Eric Bolling


Quote IV

"If you want to be part of the solution, go out and find ways to make the problem better. Don't go out and attack individuals who are just doing their jobs,"Jeremy Staat


Quote V

“This was a fruition of a courtship between the press and Page for a while that guaranteed it would make her look like the victim to evil, evil Trump,” Gutfeld said. “The people who boosted this piece instantly are the same group of people that have been saying this stuff forever, so it was all planned.” Greg Gutfeld

Even states want to be part of the swamp. And they wonder why we disdain them as we do.

The courts have long held that laws can't be copyrighted. But if the state mixes the text of the law together with supporting information, things get trickier. In Monday oral arguments, the US Supreme Court wrestled with the copyright status of Georgia's official legal code, which includes annotations written by LexisNexis.

The defendant in the case is Public.Resource.Org (PRO), a non-profit organization that publishes public-domain legal materials. The group obtained Georgia's official version of state law, known as the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, and published the code on its website. The state of Georgia sued, arguing that while the law itself is in the public domain, the accompanying annotations are copyrighted works that can't be published by anyone except LexisNexis.

Georgia won at the trial court level, but PRO won at the appeals court level. On Monday, the case reached the US Supreme Court.

NYC has always has some of the most restrictive gun laws on the books. NYC reasoning? Must keep the serfs citizens safe. Except when they aren't.

For decades, New York City enforced uniquely onerous regulations that effectively prohibited licensed pistol and revolver owners from taking their weapons outside their homes, even when they were unloaded and stored in a locked container, unless they were traveling to or from one of seven gun ranges in the five boroughs. When several gun owners challenged those regulations, the city successfully defended their constitutionality for five years, obtaining favorable rulings from a federal judge and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. But after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of that decision, the city rewrote its rules, backed a state law that eased restrictions on transporting guns, and urged the Court to drop the case, arguing that the regulatory and statutory changes made it moot. During oral arguments today in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York, several justices seemed skeptical of that claim, which is transparently aimed at avoiding a Supreme Court decision that could clarify the contours of the Second Amendment.


Some very pointed questioning by Justice Alitio.

The Progs always think, "We have to do something. Even if we don't think it through."

Over the past few years, reusable plastic shopping bags began showing up in grocery stores in many parts of the world. They are sturdier than the flimsy plastic bags that have become a symbol of the global movement against disposable plastics, and so can be used many times, lending to their marketing as the ethical choice for the environmentally conscious shopper.

But of course, these thicker bags require more plastic to make. That means they could only improve the overall situation if they led to stores handing out overall less plastic, by volume, than they would without them—by, say, replacing thousands of single-use plastic bags a shopper might otherwise use over the years. Because no matter the style of plastic bag, it will still contribute to the global problem of forever-trash entering the environment, and the greenhouse gases associated with manufacturing the bag from fossil fuels in the first place.

Regular readers of The ONT know that this Cob is a "Law & Order" kind of guy. Charging a 4th grade boy who is a 10 year old is Bull Shit!There are other ways to address this behavior.

A ten-year boy has just been charged as a sex offender as a result of a schoolyard game of tag that got out of control. As reported by the local CBS news affiliate: “the fourth-grade students were playing a game of tag that escalated when a boy began making inappropriate comments and movements toward the girls. One of the boys also wrapped his arms around one of the girls.”

Obviously, this incident should not be dismissed as a “boys will be boys” prank. The comments were very sexually aggressive. The boys should be disciplined, and, even more importantly, taught the error of their ways. But charging a 10-year-old as a sex offender is a devastating, merciless response. The boy has been charged with a fourth-degree sexual offense. Even if he avoids prison time, under Maryland law someone convicted with a fourth-degree sexual offense will be put on a sexual offender registry for fifteen years. This casts serious doubt on whether he will ever go to college or find gainful employment.

Yesteryear, when riding the rails and hunting hobos a Moron would get hungry.
There was some pretty good chow served on those trains.

RA SILVERMAN WAS ALWAYS ON the go. In the late 1960s, the train enthusiast enrolled in Northwestern University’s Transportation Center in Evanston, near the great national rail hub of Chicago. This proximity gave young Silverman and his classmates opportunities for research, adventure, and unparalleled feasting.

As graduate students in railroad transport, they regularly hopped on privately operated railroads that carried them to distant cities. But they always made sure to catch the evening return train, so that they could relish meals in a dining car while watching the shifting American landscape. With standard fare such as charbroiled steak, lamb chops, and fresh filet of sole, the experience probably far surpassed eating on campus.

They must have purchased French Dressing by the barrel.

Duke Psychiatrist: Trump 'May Be Responsible for Many More Millions of Deaths' than Hitler, Stalin and Mao. How can we take you assholes seriously?

Psychiatrists with the World Mental Health Coalition are soliciting signatures in a campaign to support the impeachment of President Donald Trump predicated on claims that he is mentally unstable. This campaign arguably violates the ethics of psychiatry, mimicking a historic attack on another Republican presidential candidate who successfully sued for libel after psychiatrists declared him unfit for the presidency.

In an email forwarded to PJ Media, three psychiatrists with the coalition ask other psychiatrists to sign on to a petition to the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee to include a statement on Trump's supposed mental instability into the official record of the impeachment inquiry.

Hey Mister, you need your nourishment if you are going to be a Genius Award Winner.

When a female driver sought to apologize for her role in a road rage confrontation, a Florida Man responded by giving her a mouthful.

A mouthful of food that he spat from his mouth into hers, according to a police report.

Investigators say that David Wipperman and the female victim were involved in a “road rage incident” on October 29 in Pinellas County.

Following the confrontation--which is not further described in court filings--Wipperman, 61, exited his Chevrolet truck and approached the driver’s side of the victim’s Kia sedan.

The woman, cops say, rolled down her window and “apologized to the defendant.” Wipperman allegedly responded by spitting food he had been chewing at the woman. “The food struck the victim in the face and entered” her mouth, according to an arrest affidavit.


Pancreatic cancer is a bitch. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

However, this new Tel Aviv University study finds that a small molecule has the ability to induce the self-destruction of pancreatic cancer cells. The research was conducted with xenografts—transplantations of human pancreatic cancer into immunocompromised mice. The treatment reduced the number of cancer cells by 90% in the developed tumors a month after being administered.
