He did at least give the North 4 more years to industrialize.
Andrew Jackson was the only President who could have prevented the War Between the States. On John C. Calhoun long after the nullification kerfluffle , "I should have hung bastard when I had the chance"

So when a real human being who is kind of a buffoon but not a sociopath starts winning presidential primary elections the sociopaths start going NUTS!
[WASHINGTONPOST] President Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... says his trip to Buenos Aires "is a new beginning" between the United States and Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... Obama is being honored at a state dinner in Argentina by President Mauricio Macri. He says the world has noticed Macri’s eagerness to re-engage Argentina with the world community.
Macri says Argentina recognizes Obama’s visit as a gesture of friendship. He says Argentina developed with the same values as the U.S.
The dinner is taking place at Latin America’s biggest cultural center, overlooking the Buenos Aires waterfront.

Probably another message given behind closed doors.
[IsraelTimes] Bernie Sanders was the only presidential candidate who opted not to speak at AIPAC’s 2016 conference, citing campaign commitments elsewhere. Here’s the address he says he would have delivered
Since I posted links to the texts of the speeches Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton made to AIPAC the other day, I thought I'd post the Bern's for comparison. I suspect he decided not to go after he wrote the thing, choosing to avoid the predictable AIPAC reaction.
[PJ] Gov. John Kasich of Ohio on Tuesday cautioned against monitoring Muslim-Americans after the attacks in Brussels, saying that such a step would create division and harm the country’s ability to gather intelligence.
His comments came after one of his rivals, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, called for law enforcement "to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized."
Mr. Kasich told reporters in Minneapolis, "We are not at war with Islam; we’re at war with radical Islam."
"In our country," he said, "we don’t want to create divisions where we say, ‘O.K., well your religion, you’re a Muslim, so therefore we’re going to keep an eye on you.’" He added that "the last thing we need is more polarization."

Thats why Ted isnt popular in the senate. He doesn't change from his core values. Unlike spineless McConnell and McCain and Gang Of 8 Rubio. All Kasich is doing now is making sure that the race goes to Trump by dividing the anti-Trump vote, so he can get a job in the Trump administration. Shame of it is, Trump is going to lose bigger than anyone since Mondale based on the latest RCP polls.
#7
The ugly truth. Trump loses massively to Clinton and that is before the progressive and liberal media goes after Trumps already historically massive negatives - Trump backers are suicidal. Cruz is close but still loses - Cruzers can argue, but when the press gets done, Hillary will probably beat him.
Here is the kicker: Kasich wins vs Clinton. WTF? Is Kasich going to be the establishment guy that steals the nomination if Trump does not win it outright?

I wish I could see into the future the way Knuckles and Flating do. I wish I was clairvoyant like that. I wouldn't bother with politics. I'd make my fortune on Wall Street. Then I could buy and sell the politicians like Soros does.
#12
I can't believe anyone on this site, especially contributors, believes the polls. Shame on you.
If Trump is the best we can do then vote Trump. If we get Cruz, then vote Cruz. Vote for the best person available.
Anyone would be better than Hillary.
The problem is she should not even be there. She should be indicted. The Obama InJustice Dept refuses to prosecute. Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed had nothing on this bunch of corrupt bureaucrats. They are Chicago machine all the way. Rostenkowski, George Ryan, Blagojevich, Mel Reynolds, the Crouthers family, all of them the Chicago Democrat contemporaries and forebears of Obama.
#15
Polls have been fairly accurate in predicting the rise of Trump. Why would they not be as considered for his fall? Its the media that is shaping all this.
#17
At what point can we start calling Kasich a Democrat? I mean he came in 4th in a 3 person race in Arizona because his policies are so out of line with the base.
#18
The only poll that counts is the one on election day.
With rampant voter fraud like this event back in 2012, that's what I'm worried about the most.

Kasich and his supporters need to feel continuous heat for why they haven't folded their campaign. All he's doing at this point is taking up space (and votes) that belong elsewhere--he can't win, and if the "establishment" were to attempt to install him at a brokered convention there would be outright rebellion.
#21
It's sort of like those preachers who designate a date of the end of the world which then comes and goes, but they still believe what they have to say.
#22
GOPe rumor says if they can get to a contest convention, nobody with a first ballot majority, then Kasich gets the VP nod with Walker as a compromise Presidential nominee.
Im not sure how that works. Walker would be a good president in all likelihood, and he could beat Hillary simply be not being as abrasive as Trump. But he did sell out in his campaign by hiring establishment guys to run it and they ran him into the ground. Who is to day Rove and company wouldn't repeat that in the general election.
The GOP needs a giant enema, and right now, that appears to be what it is getting in Trump.

At a run-down strip mall in the neighborhood known as Little Arabia, flags from a half-dozen Muslim countries flap in a stiff breeze. Flying above them is a giant American flag.
After Sen. Ted Cruz called for increased surveillance of Muslims in the U.S., many people in this community and others like it either challenged the Republican presidential candidate or dismissed his comments as mostly meaningless rhetoric.

The key word is "increased" surveillance. Believe it or not, currently there is ongoing targeted surveillance in muslim communities. Problem is the FBI's Civil Rights division appears to have more clout then their CT division. Perhaps, Cruz will clarify.

According to wiki, The overall number of mosques in the United States quietly rose from 1,209 in 2000 to 2,106 in 2010, an increase of 74%. Through 2014, a building boom for mosques has been going on.
If so damn many of them weren't immigrating to the U.S., they wouldn't need all these mosques.

The "rest of us," also known as members of no particular politically favored minority, have been told for years that "if we are not doing anything wrong, we have nothing to worry about" with respect to loss of privacy, heightened scruitiny, etc. Interesting...

[Free Beacon] The Obama administration has spent three years engaged in secret talks with Iran that resulted in the payment of nearly $2 billion in taxpayer funds to the Islamic Republic, with more payouts likely to come in the future, according to a recent letter issued by the State Department and obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon.
The administration’s disclosure came in response to an inquiry launched in January by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.), who was seeking further information about the Obama administration’s payment of $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to Iran, which many viewed as a "ransom payment" for Iran’s release that month of several U.S. hostages.
The administration’s official response to Pompeo was sent earlier this week, just days after a Free Beacon report detailing a months-long State Department effort to stall the lawmaker’s inquiry.
"We apologize for the delay in responding," Julia Frifield, an assistant secretary for legislative affairs, states in the letter’s opening.
Obama administration officials first began talks to settle a number of outstanding legal claims leveled against the United States by Iran in 2014. The administration predicts that more taxpayer-funded payments are likely to be granted to the Islamic Republic in the future, according to the letter.

Maybe one of the smarter people here can explain why our judicial system allows nations with whom we don't have diplomatic relations can avail themselves of redress in our courts?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
