LinkSwarm for March 16, 2018

  • Democrats want to end ICE. Because illegal aliens do the jobs Americans won’t do: voting for Democrats.
  • The shoe drops: “Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was charged with ‘massive fraud’ by the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday, a downbeat coda to a once high-flying Silicon Valley start-up that promised to revolutionize the blood analysis process.” Snip. “She will pay a $500,000 penalty, be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 10 years, and return 18.9 million shares she amassed during the alleged fraud. Holmes also cedes her voting control of the company she founded in 2003 at the age of 19 after dropping out of Stanford University in order to pursue her start-up.” Remember when Holmes was held up as the poster child for a bold new wave of female Silicon Valley CEO’s?

  • “Wat ho, goatee’d man? Thy skinnee jenes hath byrn’d my corneyas.”
