Sometimes, there is something worth stealing from FB:

Also, from a pic on FB, it shows Obama wiping one tear from one side of his face, with the quote from Lillian Glass, behavioral analyst, discussing body language:

They [psychopaths] are really bad at crying.

“When [Susan Smith] gave a press conference and cried about her missing children, her fake tears were actually what raised suspicions that she was the killer,” says Glass.

When psychopaths cry, Glass says they will often wipe underneath each eye, one at a time. “When people cry genuine tears they cry with both eyes, and so they will tend to wipe both eyes at once.”

Like in the picture here – tears under one eye?

Sooooooo, tell me something I didn’t know already?

    FOXNEWS reported that the Saudis fired a missile at the Iranian embassy in Yemen today/yesterday. It appears that the match has been struck and laid to the base of the tinder pile that is the Mideast. How much longer will it be that there is full scale war between Saudi Arabia and Iran? I would imagine the insurance rates for ships entering the Persian Gulf have already gone up. If full scale war erupts the PG will be closed to commercial traffic and the price of oil will spike on the international markets. Because we can now export crude oil, that means our prices will jump as well. The net effect for most of us is an immediate pay cut as the cost for fuel will go up.

    Things are looking kind of iffy on a prospective “marriage made in heaven”.

    Extending the probe would push the EU’s final deadline for a decision into May, beyond the companies’ self-imposed April 30 date to close the deal. While the commission seldom waits until the last minute, the timing puts pressure on Halliburton to build a package of commitments that convinces the EU to give its blessing.

    The deal, which didn’t make much sense from the beginning to me, looks much more doubtful now. By my estimation, Halliburton has to cough up about $8B in cash and about 500M shares of HAL stock to pay off the BHI shareholders. Much of the funding for this was to come from the sale of assets that were redundant, underperforming, and/or troublesome from a regulatory perspective. Those assets were at one time valued at about $7.5B, but with the price of oil at 1/3 of what it was when the deal was announced, those assets are worth much less than that now. Furthermore, much of that divestiture must go to a single buyer who could operate those assets as a competitor, leaving a very short list of possible buyers: GE, Siemens, or a VC firm.

    A VC firm would be very unlikely since they usually like to see big margins, which aren’t there now, nor are likely for a couple years, plus they would likely not be sufficiently capable of operating a large international company. They also are not likely to have that kind of cash laying around, or available via bond sales.

    GE & Siemens would be much more likely, but they would demand a very steep discount on the divested businesses, since their revenues are down by several hundreds of millions of dollars per year and they are losing money at the moment and are unlikely to show decent profits for a while.

    My bet is the deal will expire and Halliburton will be forced to pay Baker Hughes the $3.2B penalty. Sometime after that, Baker Hughes will be bought by someone else (GE/Siemens/???), which would have little in the way of regulatory concern and would close pretty quickly.

    I’m still angry at the conga line of CEOs and major shareholders of oilpatch companies in the late 1980’s and 90s who didn’t have to commit corporate suicide, but did anyway, for reasons I’ll never understand. And the technology and product lines sold off to Chinese outfits for pennies on the dollar. We never heard a peep out of anti-trust regulators (who wouldn’t exist in a better world) until now.

    I don’t know of a single person in the industry who wants to see the competition come down to just two players in the world. I’ve known Schlumberger to go out on a limb and cultivate small business innovators with cold cash. They seem to be open-minded and aggressive in that regard, or at least used to be. I’ve never heard BH or Halliburton doing any of that. They’ve never struck me as originators or spawning real creativity as organizations.

    This is a fascinating story about a lawyer with a staid, old law firm in Ohio founded by a member of the Taft family in the late 1800s whose primary clientele consisted of large chemical companies being sued by defendants or regulators.

    This one young lawyer, with the full backing of his firm, took on and whipped DuPont for some of the most egregious, horrific and deliberate pollution I’ve ever read about.

    Just remember: Big Corporations are not your friend. They have no interest in smaller government since they will co-opt regulators or buy agencies outright if they have to and are more concerned with expanding laws and regulations to limit or destroy competitors rather than protecting Americans’ individual liberty.

    BH is not an innovator? Howard Hughes invented the modern drill bit and was the innovator of oil well drilling. He was not a venture capitalist however – he preferred to own the company rather than just fund it. I believe that he was actually a user of cash rather than a supplier.

    As to big corporations, most recognize that their primary allegiance is to their shareholders, and anything else is corporate malfeasance. If corporations recognize that bribing government officials (in whatever form you want to call it) is in their best interests, that’s what they will do. The only way to stop it is to limit government intervention, not to try to stop corporate activity. We are all prostitutes when it comes to deciding what we are willing to do to make a buck, whether it be did ditches or invent better ways to go to the moon – everything I have is for sale at a price.

    …and the related “regulatory capture”.

    There are some areas of some industries where I’m not sure whether the private sector has captured the regulators or the regulators have captured the companies. With the revolving door/merry-go-round from regulator to corporate VP-Government Relations to industry lobbyist, it’s pretty hard to tell whom is controlling whom.

    I was working with a rig manufacturer when the bust came in the 80’s, they sold zero rigs domestically for several years there. The Chinese came calling and they bought I believe one hundred units over a two year period under the condition we would hand over all the technology, drawings and manufacturing processes and manpower to help them set up to build their own rigs. And the company did it.

    Just as Lone Star Times was singing its swan song I was supposed to write a piece about my first visit to the museum. Ultimately I decided I just wasn’t a good enough writer to do it justice. It’s similar to my experience visiting Dachau in Germany. I never could write about that either.

    Hubs was off early this a.m. to see his ophthalmologist on the edge of TMC, a trip that always takes about half a day. I used to see a different eye doc in the same practice, but couldn’t hack the round trip time. My guy has relocated to private practice on the West Loop. I should go see him pretty soon — he is an expert in what I have.

    Anyway, I got up early to see Hubs off, then went back to bed and overslept. I am bad, bad, bad. 🙁

    Good early afternoon Hamsters. Gloom of early morning has scattered, sunshine chases the clouds, and it’s 65 on the front porch. So it’s a brief up day sandwiched between speeding El Nino storms. Got about an inch of rain last night so a few shallow puddles hang around.

    Shannon 20. I couldn’t either. The documentaries of Nazi death camps I’ve seen over the years, and the gut-wrenching scenes of the liberators as they broke into them leave one speechless. The images suppressed any ability for my brain to form words in viewing the horror, much less any ability to write them down in any coherent manner. For me it was and is something to try to absorb in literal and figurative profound silence.

    I wonder if that ship is still sitting out in the Gulf.

    This is a pretty interesting article by the highly excitable boys over at Zero Hedge. They do some good background research over there even if they are given to some imaginative conspiracies sometimes.

    The Kurds’ move to sell crude independent of Baghdad stems from a long-running budget dispute. Without delving too far into the details, Erbil is entitled to 17% of Iraqi oil revenue and in return, the KRG is supposed to transfer some 550,000 bpd to SOMO (Iraq’s state-run oil company). Almost immediately after the deal was struck late last year, Baghdad claimed the Kurds weren’t keeping up their end of the bargain and so, only a fraction of the allocated budget was sent to Erbil during the first five months of the year.

    This was simply a continuation of a protracted disagreement between Erbil and Baghdad over how much of the state’s crude revenue should flow to the KRG. For its part, Iraq has threatened to sue anyone that buys independently produced Kurdish oil. For instance, when The United Kalavrvta – which left Ceyhan last June – prepared to dock in Galveston, Texas a month later, a SOMO official told Reuters that Iraq’s foreign legal team was “watching closely the movement of the vessel and [was] ready to target any potential buyer regardless of their nationality.”

    You get the idea. Erbil wants a bigger piece of the pie, Baghdad doesn’t want to give it to them, and so some time ago, the KRG decided to simply cut the Iraqi government out and export crude on its own. The dispute is ongoing.

    Trump claims he’ll put a 45% tariff on Chinese imports. This has always worked in the past, of course.

    The Smoot-Hawley Tariff was more a consequence of the Great Depression than an initial cause. However, its passage did not help end the Great Depression and in fact caused more suffering. It provoked a storm of foreign retaliatory measures. It also became a symbol of the “beggar-thy-neighbor” policies (policies designed to improve one’s own lot at the expense of others) of the 1930s. This and other policies contributed to a drastic decline in international trade. For example, US imports from Europe declined from a 1929 high of $1,334 million to just $390 million in 1932, while U.S. exports to Europe fell from $2,341 million in 1929 to $784 million in 1932. In the end, world trade declined by about 66% between 1929 and 1934. In less monetary terms, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff fostered distrust among nations leading to less cooperation in either the political or economic realms.

    Yep, this doc said that he specializes in the back of the eye, and the referral is to a doc who specializes in the front of the eye. Hubs has had some retinal repairs done in the past, but I guess this is the first time he’s been told he has the early signs of cataracts. I’ve been told that for several years, but I can not sense any way in which it affects my vision.

    How’s that vise feel on the ol’ family jewels, boys?

    Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) endorsed Maria Espinoza for Texas’ 7th Congressional District and in the process dropped 28 Republicans from their endorsement list. According to their December 23rd press release Congressional Representatives John Culberson (TX-CD 7), Kevin Brady (TX-CD8), and Pete Olson (TX-CD22) are among 28 Republican lawmakers removed from ALIPAC’s standing endorsement list and transferred to ALIPAC’s Cantor List.

    “ALIPAC activists are being asked to contact these 28 lawmakers to inform them that they are no longer supported by Americans for Legal Immigration PAC and that their names are being added to The Cantor List. ALIPAC has 49 remaining endorsements found at http://www.alipac.us/campaign/

    ALIPAC’s Cantor List is being used as a targeting device for Americans that oppose illegal immigration and amnesty. Lawmakers on The Cantor List are more likely to face a GOP primary challenger and removal from office like Eric Cantor was removed. ALIPAC played a role in Cantor’s defeat and the campaign manager that dethroned Cantor, Zach Werrell, is now searching for more challengers to help in 2016. Werrell also has a book out to help insurgent GOP candidates called “How To Bag A RINO“.”

    Good idea to leave retinal problems to retinal specialists, and even that specialty has several subspecialties. Cataract specialists also have subspecialties.

    Barring other health or eye considerations or complications, the golden rule for determining when to have cataract surgery is the point at which the cataract (which is opacity or clouding of the lens of the eye) becomes bothersome to the point that it interferes with a person’s normal daily activities. And the patient is usually the expert in determining when that point has been reached. However regular eye examinations as one ages is prudent.

    Adee, like most women I am very, very good about getting all my checkups! I have been extremely lucky to find that the Sears optical shop closest to me has a therapeutic optometrist as their main practitioner. When I go in for my annual eye exam (for glasses), I also get imaging done there. This doc is the one who is telling me he sees signs of cataract formation.

    Actually, my main eye issue is MGD, Meibomian gland disorder, which is a malfunction of the oily component of tears. Leads to one of the types of dry eyes. I use Restasis eyedrops to treat the symptoms, but there is no “cure”. I have an ophthalmologist who is an expert in MGD and I follow his guidelines for daily eyecare.

    From where I sit, support for Trump isn’t that hard to explain. The upper twenty percent in America have insulated themselves from the economic and cultural consequences of the last fifty years. Meanwhile, those in the bottom half must live in disintegrating communities and endure the consequences of declining social capital. They sense, intuitively, that our leadership class has a narrow, materialistic view of life and a ruthless, managerial approach to “diversity” that undermines social solidarity, which is why they resonate with patriotic rhetoric that actually envisions all of us together, committed to a common good. Meanwhile, they see that their “betters” have rigged the game, so much so that even the slightest dissent from political correctness brings fierce, disciplining denunciations. – R.R. Reno

    Missing U.S. Missile Shows Up in Cuba.

    Inert Hellfire missile sent to Europe for a training exercise makes mysterious trip, sparking concerns over loss of military technology.

    The missile was sent by its manufacturer, Lockheed Martin Corp. , after the company got permission from the State Department, which oversees the sharing of sensitive military technology with allies.

    A Lockheed Martin spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter, referring queries to U.S. government officials.

    State Dept. spokesman John Kirby said the agency “is restricted under federal law and regulations from commenting on defense trade licensing and compliance issues.”

    The people familiar with the case said the missile was sent to Spain and used in the military exercise. But for reasons that are still unclear, after it was packed up, it began a roundabout trip through Europe, was loaded onto a truck and eventually sent to Germany.

    The missile was packaged in Rota, Spain, a U.S. official said, where it was put into the truck belonging to another freight-shipping firm, known by officials who track such cargo as a “freight forwarder.” That trucking company released the missile to yet another shipping firm that was supposed to put the missile on a flight originating in Madrid. That flight was headed to Frankfurt, Germany, before it was to be placed on another flight bound for Florida.

    At some point, officials loading the first flight realized the missile it expected to be loading onto the aircraft wasn’t among the cargo, the government official said. After tracing the cargo, officials realized that the missile had been loaded onto a truck operated by Air France, which took the missile to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. There, it was loaded onto a “mixed pallet” of cargo and placed on an Air France flight. By the time the freight-forwarding firm in Madrid tracked down the missile, it was on the Air France flight, headed to Havana.

    He tried to escape, and then opened fire at security forces using the Spectre M4 Falcon sub-machine gun in his possession, which he also used to murder his victims in Tel Aviv the previous week, the Shin Bet stated.

    Agents and special forces “returned fire and killed” the suspect, the Shin Bet said. “There were no injuries among our forces.”

    Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, commenting on the counter-terrorism raid, said that it “proved once again that the State of Israel will pursue until the end those who seek its harm, anywhere, within the country, along its borders, and far from them, and it will place its hands on them. This is our commitment to the security of Israeli citizens.”

    Taking care of business, one terrorist at a time.

    re my #72: We have a different sort of problem, but it comes from the same root.

    HEADLINE: Sources: Suspect Confesses To Shooting Officer, Says He Did It In the Name Of Islam
    PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer is recovering after he was shot several times during an ambush late Thursday night in West Philadelphia.

    Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross says the officer was sitting in his patrol car around 11:30 p.m. at 60th and Spruce Streets when a gunman fired 13 shots through the driver’s side of the car.

    The article has a photo capturing the event. 13 shots from less than 3 feet at the cop survived PLUS he managed to return fire and hit the perp 3 times.

    How long will it be before the bulk of the people realize just what a scourge on humanity that islime represents? How many more incidents like this, the one in San Bernadino, the gang rapes in Germany, etc before people realize the problem is islime???
