I CALL BULLSHIT: Federal agency says wearing 'Don't Tread on Me' hat could be racial harassment.

Now if it was a 'Black Lives Matter' hat, I might be persuadable.

PowerLine has more.

GOP V. DEMOCRATS: Social experiment proves Republicans are nicer.

Unexpectedly, of course.

Not.

THE LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATES speak out.

I saw their townhall meeting on CNN the other night; I wasn't impressed.

HILLARY’S CRIMES VERSUS TRUMP’S MOUTH: Trump only 'talks awful' -- Hillary actually 'does awful'.

MARILYN MOSBY: If 'playing by the rules' doesn't win, change the rules.

"HILLARY CLINTON": the case for Trump in two words.

BREAKING: Navy to build USS Thanks Obama for deployment to every disaster.

Yes, it's a parody. Thanks to Instapundit for bringing the website to my attention.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: When A War Went Worldwide.

War starts when weak but aggressive nations are deluded into believing that they are powerful -- and wrongly conclude that the truly strong and rational are somehow weak.

Obama should have taken note 7-1/2 years ago. The next President must take note.

HEH: There are no advanced civilizations in the universe because we're the first.

If there's a God, maybe He will reconsider....

SHOCKING: Fighting crime causes global warming. From the Klimate Klowns of the New York Times.

IEEE SPECTRUM: the scary efficiency of autonomous intersections. Watch the simulation and understand I've driven in countries where those intersections are the norm for human drivers. 'Scary' is an understatement.

THOUGHTS FROM A LIFE-LONG REPUBLICAN:

From the time I was able to vote I have voted Republican, and I am in my 70's.

Recently I received a questionnaire and request for money from the Republican Party and strongly agree with every question, as I have since Obama was elected.

Unfortunately the one question that was missing is: What have the Republicans done for the American people lately?

We gave you a majority in the House and Senate, and you never listened to us. Now you want our money, my money, more money. You should be more concerned about our votes, not our money.

You are the establishment which means all you want is to save your jobs and line your pockets.

Well guess what? It's not going to happen.

TRUMP hasn't asked me for a dime.

You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self-destruct course, but look beyond Washington and listen to the masses. Nobody has achieved what he has, especially in the state of New York.

Here's why I want Trump. Yes, he's a bit of an ass; yes, he's an egomaniac; but I don't care.

The country is a mess because politicians suck.

The Republican Party is two-faced and gutless, and illegals are everywhere.

I want it all fixed!

I don't care that Trump is crude.

I don't care that he insults people.

I don't care that he has changed positions.

I don't care that he's been married 3 times.

I don't care that he fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell.

I don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorist.

Our country has become weak, bankrupt. Our enemies are making fun of us. We are being invaded by illegals. We are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hassid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in, "AND I JUST WANT IT FIXED."

And Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.

I'm sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and sick of illegals. I just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money controlling him; he doesn't have political correctness restraining him; all you know is that he has been very successful; a good negotiator; he has built a lot of things; and, he's also not a politician. And, he says he'll fix it. And, I believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

I don't care if the guy has bad hair.

You are welcome to pass this on, or not.

Thought for the Day "No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive!"

P.S. No Borders, No Language, No Culture = No Country.

TECH HISTORY: The man who invented intelligent traffic control a century too early.

WHOOPS! Vox just disproved the gender pay gap by accident (while trying to prove it).

Milo Yiannopoulos very accurately describes Vox as follows: "Vox is a website staffed by people who think they are the elite guard of social justice, but who are in fact some of the dumbest people ever to have been awarded an internet connection and a WordPress login."

LAST CALL for Frederick Weller.

DEREK HUNTER: Four days in hell.

The Democratic National Convention was ... meaningless pap designed to make people feel something so they wouldn’t think. Having spent four days among the trained barking seals serving as delegates, I can attest to the fact there was little risk of thought happening.

Read the rest.

IN A CROWDED CITY, PERHAPS: Robots could fulfill online orders in minutes.

Bonus points, though: you don't have to tip a robot.

HILLARY PLAYS the 'finger of sincerity' card.

CHINA INTRODUCES a Boeing 737-sized seaplane. I'm sure it will be handy as China moves to dominate the South China Sea.

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES are due to – government incompetence?

Surprised?
