The latest Clinton Corruption update pushed the LinkSwarm to Monday:<\/p>\n
The poll with the best track record over the last three presidential elections gave Donald Trump a 2-percentage-point edge over Hillary Clinton on Saturday.\t \t <\/p>\n
The Investor\u2019s Business Daily\/TIPP tracking poll has Trump with 42.1 percent and Clinton at 39.7 percent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Thoughts on #NeverTrump<\/a>: “They are putting a great volume of energy into bringing about a disaster, for which they will not take any ownership.”\n No one trusts the media anymore<\/a>. “Only one in nine Americans believes that Hillary Clinton is ‘honest and trustworthy.’ They don’t trust the media’s cover-up of her misdeeds, and the cover-up of the cover-up of the cover-up.” (Hat tip: Director Blue<\/a>.)\n “Why I Now Feel Compelled To Vote For Trump<\/a>“:
\nMore than anything, I can\u2019t sit idly by and allow these perpetrators of fraud to celebrate and leak tears of joy like they did when they helped elect Barack Obama in 2008. I have to know I weighed in not only in writing but in the voting booth. The media needs to be destroyed. And although voting for Trump won\u2019t do it, it\u2019s something. Essentially, I am voting for Trump because of the people who don\u2019t want me to, and I believe I must register my disgust with Hillary Clinton.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And speaking of media bias, the Rolling Stone<\/i> campus rape hoax case goes to trial<\/a>. (Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ<\/a>.)\n Here’s a New Yorker<\/i> piece on the failure of the Euro<\/a>. It provides a good, but incomplete, overview of the Euro’s failure (nowhere does it note that Europe’s cradle-to-grave welfare state is unsustainable, and it fails to note that none of the nations practicing “austerity” in southern Europe have cut outlays to match receipts). And the myopic policy prescription offered is, of course, more central planning. But there are some good bits. Like this:
\nThe U.S. unemployment rate hit ten per cent for a single month in 2009 and is now below five per cent; the eurozone unemployment rate hit ten per cent around the same time, and is still in double digits. In some European countries, youth unemployment is more than forty per cent. America\u2019s economy is bigger than it was when the crisis hit. The eurozone\u2019s is smaller. To take just one example, Italy, the third-largest economy in the eurozone, has a per-capita G.D.P. that\u2019s lower than it was at the end of the last century. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Also this:<\/p>\n
Stiglitz observes that if the countries that committed to the single currency in 1992 had known what they know now, and if people had had the chance to vote on the proposal, \u201cit is hard to see how they could have supported it.\u201d That\u2019s a hell of an indictment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hey, remember how we were told California’s assisted suicide law would only apply to terminally ill people who wanted to die? Now insurance companies are enouraging suicide<\/a> rather than pay for life-extending drug treatments.\n Even The New York Times<\/i> figures out that new gun laws wouldn’t prevent most mass shootings<\/a>.\n Russia is conducting nuclear survival drills<\/a>. (WSJ<\/i> hoops apply.) Good thing we have Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama running things rather than that warmonger Bush… (Hat tip: Stephen Green at Instapundit<\/a>.)\n College isn’t for everyone<\/a>:
\nBut if you\u2019re not sure yet what you want to do, then take time to decide before you spend $30,000, $50,000, or $100,000 you don\u2019t have for something you don\u2019t need. In the meantime, start working. You\u2019ll probably only find low-paying, hard-working jobs at first, but guess what? If you go to college, you\u2019ll be working those same jobs when you get out, only you\u2019ll be four years older and fifty grand poorer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee have discovered a chemical reaction to turn CO2 into ethanol<\/a>. Better idea than corn subsidies…\n The Large Hadron Collider “nightmare scenario<\/a> has come true:
\nFor the last ten years you\u2019ve been told that the LHC must see some new physics besides the Higgs because otherwise nature isn\u2019t \u201cnatural\u201d \u2013 a technical term invented to describe the degree of numerical coincidence of a theory. I\u2019ve been laughed at when I explained that I don\u2019t buy into naturalness because it\u2019s a philosophical criterion, not a scientific one. But on that matter I got the last laugh: Nature, it turns out, doesn\u2019t like to be told what\u2019s presumably natural.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hamilton County, Tennessee doesn’t monitor parole tracking devices outside business hours<\/a>. A good thing people never commit parole violations nights and weekends… (Hat tip: Fark<\/a>.)\n This just in: Democratic Representative Shelia Jackson Lee is still an idiot<\/a>.\n AT&T trying to buy Time Warner<\/a>. I’ve got a bad feeling about this…\n Internet-connected CCTV cameras made by Chinese firm Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology seemed to make up the heart of the botnet used in Friday’s DDoS attack<\/a>.\n Yuan hits all time low against the dollar<\/a>.\n Microsoft Surface sucks<\/a>.\n Texas is goat country<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The latest Clinton Corruption update pushed the LinkSwarm to Monday: National Review published Victor Davis Hanson’s endorsement of Donald Trump.
