Who are the Dems going to run in 2020?

[babe]

Besides your ***, what are good news sources to you? What websites, people or organizations do you feel provide the best quality honest news to the best of your knowledge?

Breitbart????

I don't think there are any, really. I subscribed to The New American for a while, the JBS official rag, but when William Norman Grigg resigned and did some radio rants on how the Founding Fathers got it all wrong on Eminent Domain, I sorta felt left out. I like highways and damns, really, and how we gonna do stuff like that without some high level planning. Then there's Lyndon LaRouche's little band with 20th Century Science and EIR, but even if I love Leonardo Da Vinci I'm just not that Catholic or that socialist, and I think Martin Luther put the Bible back into public circulation, and all that philosophical jazz about Humboldt, Lincoln, and FDR and geometric solids sorta went over my head.

I look for a couple of things in whatever I pick up. Point of View, and axiomatic underpinnings. I reject Politico and most "progressive" rags today because I don't agree with the premise of top-down governance driven by experts however numerous or however deeply sunk into "consensus" views. I don't think college profs or their smooth-cheeked acolytes know how we should talk or think, and it's a howling blight on humanity to have that class holding forth on how others should live.

social justice is a fine notion at first glance, but it's meaning is lost when someone, anyone is assuming the authority to define it. defies the premise of equality right off. Assumes state-managed populace is "free" while denying the most basic human right. . . . to be authentic.

I will read almost any report from almost any news or information source, and walk away with my own opinion.

maybe Siro is right, or close to it. I've been told opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and they all stink.

At the most fundamental philosophical level, what humans believe is their own dreams, and in that respect, that is the most wonderful and redeeming thing about humanity.

I don't really agree, but GREAT post!

It has been a while since you've said anything I haven't heard from 100s of different sources 100s of different times.

Once upon a time? Sure. You'd say stuff I hadn't heard before. Or at least that I hadn't noticed. Then I started paying closer attention and there it was.

I really liked his post. A lot Less arrogance and misinformation than usual, and more sincere sharing of perspective.

Why are you so intolerant, and disrepectful of others opnions not like yours?

You cant claim to be a man of the people when you treat so many people like trash.

Just saying bruh.

What the hell is wrong with that person?
[MENTION=970]babe[/MENTION] gave examples of why he thinks like he does an admits it is anecdotal an [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION] comes out of left field with a **** you?

Do they have unsettled previous beef or is this just the way Siro treats anyone he disagrees with? My view is the latter and some deep psychological issues relating to religion.

I imagine the only way we can generate stats on voting by any grouping is by exit polling or looking at concentrations of those groupings. I have no way of identifying "false" stats because I have no direct data. But I believe it is reasonable to believe that a lot of blacks and latinos voted for Trump, more than was for Romney or McCain. My hunch would be 10-15%, and 25-30%, respectively, for those groups, because I sense from my own contacts those rates in those groups. But my "sense" is anecdotal in character and reflects my own little slice of life. Articulate black conservatives like David(?) Webb who has a late night gig on XM125, and Dr. Ben Carson actually warm the cockles of my heart.

I spend some time in the truck stops because I drive a lot and find those places friendly and safe places to take a break. Truckers watching the TV in the lounge come in all kinds, but they are all concerned with the prospect of immigrants taking their rigs for less pay.

Trump makes sense to them because he promises to stabilize their status quo.

I've heard Bannon's successor Alex Marlow several times but I've never listened to Bannon on air before he went over to join Trump. The "news" they serve is definitely contrarian to the mainstream, and provocative to "The Way Things Are". They claim to have affiliates on the ground gathering news in many places, like real news organizations and journalists used to do business, and lots of times their facts prove out pretty good.

I confess to God practically every day the fool that I am, and I could flesh out the notion that I'm a nitwit with thousands of anecdotes. Takes one to know one, I guess. I'm old enough to be somewhat comfortable with all that, and I remember being a young Turk of a kind who believed I knew everything everyone should know, and was willing to tell them so. But that gig has definitely lost it's charm. Maybe I've had a relapse here on JazzFanz, but I think my comments are more intended to warn the uninitiated of the path they seem to be starting out on.

Int it kinda funny how people always will try to protect there wellbeing through government an then claim it as a nother purpose. I know plenty of people in construction in Utah an Arizona that hate illegal Mexicans cause they undercut there labour. Not saying they do not have good reason. Paying no tax no FICA no unemployment an cash can save a lot of money. Back when I was cleaning up scrap drywall my customers told me Muddy Boys got busted for paying one guy in California for all there illegals an that guy would pay the labour. That way Muddy Boys claimed they subcontracted an had no clue.

People always wanna protect there own. That is why Blacks hate Mexicans so much to.
