Posted without comment.
Another big theme of the mega-rich confab will be combating “income inequality” and how the world’s rich can pay their fair share to reduce the gap between top earners and the lower class. Admission price for Davos: roughly $40,000 a ticket.
The World Economic Forum will also feature discussions on gender equality and opportunities for women. According to the World Economic Forum’s own statistics, just 17% of all 2015 participants are women.

If all that Europe can say in condemning the despicable murders of Charlie Hebdo’s cartoonists and editors is “We are all Charlie Hebdo,” then what Europe is saying is, in effect, “We are all nihilists.” And how, pray, is nihilism—nothingness raised to a first principle, skepticism taken to the last extreme—supposed to defeat conviction, however warped that conviction is? If all that Europe can say to murderous jihadism is “Why can’t we all just get along?” its fecklessness will make it an even softer target for the kind of lethal fanaticism that recently turned Paris into a war zone.

Put bluntly, given the dynamics of our rapidly changing culture, I believe it will be increasingly difficult to be a good Christian and a good American. It is far more important to me to preserve the faith than to preserve liberal democracy and the American order. Ideally, there should not be a contradiction, but again, the realities of post-Christian America challenge our outdated ideals.
Christianity – the new counterculture

I posted this early this AM on Tuesday’s thread;
I heard about the first 5 mins on the radio in the car and I counted 6 lies. I will not be tuning in to see the rest of the lie fest.
A pox on his house!!Yup I watched about 10 minutes on the tube, he only lied when his mouth was moving. When he mentioned that more people have insurance, I about went crazy since he took AWAY MY INSURANCE, I could have kept it but I couldn’t afford the $300 a month increase………EVERYBODY’s insurance will go down by about $2500!! SPITS~ 🙁

I hope that this isn’t behind the paid/unpaid firewall; The Gaslight Presidency.
Obama’s policies have crushed middle-class incomes, and he proposes more of the same.In the 1944 film “Gaslight,” a con artist manipulates his new wife psychologically to make her doubt her own sanity in a scheme to steal her inheritance. That’s increasingly the way to understand President Obama ’s behavior toward Congress and especially the tax increase he floated in Tuesday’s State of the Union. The only plausible rationale is that he thinks he can gain politically by driving Republicans nuts.
Mr. Obama’s income-redistribution themes are familiar, though they are amusingly detached from the reality of the largest GOP majority in Congress since 1949. To Republicans who listened agog, remember: It’s not about you; it’s about him.
***
The plan is DOA, though we’ll address the merits anyway because it’s our job. But first observe the irony: The President has suddenly discovered that middle-class incomes have plunged on his watch, and he’s demanding that Congress address this with more of the same policies that have done so much to reduce middle-class incomes.
White House aides are saying their boss’s plan for $320 billion in new taxes on savings and investment to finance more transfer payments is a bid to be remembered as a Robin Hood. This would be accurate if our hero and his merry men had shaken down Sherwood Forest for the benefit of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Mr. Obama has spent six years trying to redistribute income, but all he’s done is make the income gap between rich and poor wider.
Chart
The nearby chart shows the real income of the median American household since 1984. Earnings soared 14.5% during the 1990s to $56,800, then dipped during George W. Bush ’s first term. They rebounded smartly in 2007 almost to the 1999 peak, and then plunged as expected amid the recession.The brutal difference of the Obama years is that incomes continued to fall and didn’t rebound with the recovery as they did in every other expansion. Only in 2013 did they finally pick up, ever so modestly.
Wages stagnated despite—we’d say because of—a surge of economic ministration out of Washington. The Congressional Budget Office reports that total transfer payments to the middle 20% of taxpayers increased 25.9% on average between 2007 and 2011, the latest year for which data are available. The average tax liability for this group fell 24.4%. Yet their after-tax income nonetheless fell by 1.9% over the same period. That’s what happens with years of subpar economic growth.
Mr. Obama now proposes to remedy this growing gap between the middle class and those he defines as the affluent by increasing the prosperity that flows to everyone. Sorry, just kidding. The President wants to double down on redistribution by nearly doubling the capital gains tax rate over its 2012 level to 28% for couples earning more than $500,000. The 2013 fiscal cliff deal boosted the top rate to 20% from 15%, plus the 3.8% ObamaCare surcharge on “unearned income.”

Congrats on the new baby! Babies are THE BEST!
Tempted to post one more pic of Li’l Darlin’. You know, after the swelling and bruising from the birth go away, they get even prettier.
Sunshine has finally figured out what “sister” means, and is getting quite attached to the newcomer in the household. So much so that Lovely Daughter and Aggie Beau are having to protect LD2 from the attentions of her bigger sister, who hasn’t quite realized that leaning on a newborn is not a good idea, even if the object is to plant a loving kiss or pat on the tiny head.
Lovely’s getting her balance and figuring out how to juggle a newborn and a toddler. I’m touched that she’s asked me to visit again next week for a few more days. I get toddler and baby therapy again next week…so preferable to getting my work done! And Hubby is so supportive of my time with Lovely and the babies…
….makes me wonder what happens when I’m gone… 😉

That was congrats to Darren, btw. His #58 from yesterday:
I got a call a couple on nights ago from Lil’ Sis’ Katie and she’s pregnant with baby #4. I’m very happy for her and her husband. She said if this one’s a boy (again) they may try for another one. (like they wouldn’t anyway 🙂 )

In Texas, home to the largest number of teacher sexual misconduct cases in the country, investigations into alleged inappropriate teacher-student relationships has grown 27 percent over the past three years, to 179. Kentucky schools reported more than 45 sexual relationships between teachers and students in 2011, up from 25 just a year earlier. And a surge has been reported in Alabama, where the state investigated 31 cases during the year ending July 2013, nearly triple the number it had investigated just four years earlier.
That data confirmed the disturbing shift I have witnessed while working in education. In the late 1990s, I was press secretary for the Houston Independent School District, one of the largest districts in the country. In 2001, I served as chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Education. In those roles, I would hear about teachers who became sexually involved with students – but at that time, those cases seemed rare.
meanwhile, Obama’s economic policies and student loan scams are turning Texas co-eds into call girls:
The University of Texas at Austin, in particular, saw a massive growth in sign-ups between 2013 and 2014. With a 227 percent increase the growth far outpaced all other schools in the country when it came to the sugar phenomenon, according to SeekingArrangement. In fact, according to the company, last year was the first time several Texas schools even appeared on the list. (Four schools in the Lone Star State made the most recent top-50 list). So while sheer sugar-baby numbers are important, growth rates are telling, too. Here are the top-five schools in terms of growth in sign-ups between 2013 and 2014…

I love military surplus for camping gear, always have. When it comes to the combination of utility, durability, and price, its hard to beat military surplus.

#35 – As much as I’d like to blame someone other than the willing participants of the sugar daddy concept, this is one area where I don’t think Obama is to blame. They are what they are, regardless of the name applied. The UT girls used to work at the Chicken Ranch, so they have to do something else now. I think this situation has been ascribed to Winston Churchill but I’m not sure: He asked a woman if she would sleep with him for $1 million; and she responded in the affirmative. He then asked her if she would sleep with him for $10 – she responded by saying something to the effect of “hexx no, what do you think I am?” He then stated that “I think we’ve already established what you are madam, we are now only haggling over the price.”

Dang it Sarge, every place I go is now popping up ads for used military surplus underwear (although none of it is claiming to have previously been worn by Bill Clinton).

I remember going to a Civic Club meeting for our neighborhood, and seeing people signing a petition. It got to me, and I saw that it was to limit trucks in the neighborhood. Now, this is a blue collar area. People bring their work trucks home. This petition was to ban work trucks after work hours. I asked “why the petition?” I swear the woman with the clipboard almost busted a vein as she explained her neighbor’s neighbor brought home a truck every evening. “My friend has to look out her front door and see that truck every day!” she agitated. “She has the RIGHT to not have to look at that every morning!”
I would have pointed out that, really, her friend didn’t, but I didn’t feel like having my throat ripped out. I just declined to put my name on the petition and moved carefully away from the madwoman.
I think that was the last meeting I went to. Other than one where there was an outside speaker I wanted to hear.

We have a neighbor who has outside dogs (where I grew up the “outside” was implied; nobody had dogs inside the house). There’s a bunch of PETA Nazis on the warpath over that. Both dogs have a dog house. They’ve already called the SPCA and are now talking about getting Eyewitness News on the case. Of course, that cow Jessica Farrar is getting involved:
Let’s all stay focused on the health and safety of the dogs at both locations. They’re our neighbors, too.
It was all I could do to stop myself from telling her, Maybe he can just kill the puppies up to one year after they’re born, you miserable old heifer, would that be okay?

I think that by giving my computer a good dose of C-Cleaner those gross underwear ads are finally gone. Nothing else seemed to work. Of course, I now have to re-enter all my passwords etc. to go to my regular sites.

I use CCleaner every day with zero ill effects

Any of you cable cutters out there have recommendations for antennae to pick up local channels?
-
#49 – I was about 30 miles from the antenna farm and with an amplified rabbit ear set was able to get just about all the channels. I eventually put up a small outdoor antenna mounted on a 20′ 1X4 tacked up to the side of the roof, and again with an amplifier got everything. Let me sniff around and I’ll post a couple of samples, but I’m thinking the cost is around $50 for everything unless you decide to get real fancy.
As to #50, just realize that it’s written by a female and there is no need to read any further.

Now, this is a blue collar area. People bring their work trucks home.
My subdivision isn’t blue collar but a rent house here was let to a guy who drove an 18-wheeler home on occasion. 🙂
The friggin thing was so long that when parked at the curb, it blocked the driveways on both sides of his rental. Blocking driveways is against the law, so it was easy to get the police to handle that.
That whole block is smaller houses on smaller lots, and half of them are people with 5 or 6 cars and trucks parked all over the place.

PMC has got to be the second most filthiest ammo I have ever cleaned. Thirty rounds though an AR-15 clone and two hours of scrubbing. My Enfield black powder musket is easier to clean. The worst is the Monarch sold in Academy from Russia. The Serbian stuff is not too bad.
In other guy stuff. I was drilling and tapping some 3/8″ holes to mount something on a machine. The tap broke, as always, in the last hole. I thought those things are brittle and break easily so why not try a hammer drill, roto-hammer, and see what happens. Put a masonry bit in and it worked. Broke the tap up and punched the last bit of it out of the hole. Wear safety glasses though.

Good tip Goatman, I’ll have to try that. We always have someone a little too gung ho with a tap. Just a regular bit?

Never mind I see you said masonry bit.

Nextdoor.com. It’s a social website set up for specific neighborhoods. You have to be a verified resident of the neighborhood to see posts from other neighbors. In theory it’s a good idea. Share info on crime. Classifieds. Recommendations. Event announcements. In practice, not so much. There are a lot of petty little people everywhere in the world. And they’ve all got a cause that is the most important thing in the world and if you don’t agree with them you’re a jerk. We even have a group of militant breastfeeders in our ‘hood. Stupid hipsters.

Currently on the “bloggernacle” (web posts between LDS scholars) there has been a focused controversy on the historicity of the Bible. There are some who view the ancient Israelites as not keeping “historical records” and even making up their sources for what we have today as many accounts in the Bible. LDS scholar and Egyptologist, John Gee has written a very insightful response to these critics. Here’s one of his latest:
Apparently, Israelite society was wholly different from its ancient Near Eastern neighbors. You see, according to this line of thought, Judah just was not sophisticated enough to have annals:
The first evidence of an inland Canaanite script appears in Israel during the 10th century BCE. We have alphabetic writing and official seals from what would have been the period of this United Monarchy (if the Biblical account is correct that such an entity existed). Hebrew doesn’t exist as a written language until the 9th (perhaps 10th, depending on how you classify “Hebrew”) century BCE. This means that during the time period of biblical heroes such as Samuel, Saul, and David that a written form of Hebrew was only beginning to take shape. So the stories about these men do not stem from a contemporary written royal record.
The northern kingdom of Israel seems to have developed a fairly advanced society during the 8th century BCE. During this time, the southern kingdom of Judah was much smaller and far less articulate. By the end of the 8th century, however, Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians (think of the famous “lost ten tribes”). Twenty years after the destruction of Samaria, the Israelite elite had established a significant presence in Judah, and that presence changed everything, including the development of scribal texts that would eventually find their way into our Bible. During the century or so between the Assyrian destruction of Israel and the later Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem, the kingdom of Judah followed Israel’s lead and developed an extraordinary literary culture. By 586 (the year Babylon destroyed Jerusalem), the Judean scribes had created their own literary texts that developed Judean authority. And these texts would eventually find their way into our Bible. This is the basic historical background for the development of writing and literary sources in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. This is the historical background that must be taken into consideration in a study of “historical reliability” in the scribal works that appear in the Bible.
This line of argumentation is problematic. I think that this line of argument is wrong about what epigraphy says about the development of writing in Israel and Judah, but I will save that for another post. The fact that the response to my post cites only a portion of Kitchen’s book that I quoted and the disgruntled review of someone whose position was demolished by Kitchen and the characterization of Kitchen as “an Egyptologist (who also deals with Mesopotamian texts)” makes me wonder: Could it be that the author of the response has not read Kitchen’s book and is even familiar with Kitchen’s vast and varied output.

Interesting stuff, but I’m too tired tonight to delve in to it. Perhaps tomorrow. Be aware there are more disagreements on all these subjects among Jewish scholars than all the combined Christian anthropologists, historians and linguists in the world.
Put three Jews in a room and you get 5 opinions and 9 arguments…etc…etc…

I wouldn’t doubt it. My understanding is this is where the current bloggernacle controversy stems from. These scholars have the same Hebrew training as any other scholar.
