Got a GPS? Turn at your own risk

by Mouser The King Cat

Paraphrasing your mother, if your GPS told you to drive into a lake, would you? A woman in Bellevue, Washington, did when commanded to turn. Then there were the Japanese tourists in Australia who drove into the ocean trying to reach an island from the mainland. These wrong turns didn’t result in fatalities, but some do.

Author Greg Milner has a forthcoming book about GPS titled “Pinpoint.” An excerpt, courtesy of the Ars Technica website: The park rangers at Death Valley National Park in California call it ‘death by GPS.’ It describes what happens when your GPS fails you, not by being wrong, exactly, but often by being too right. It does such a good job of computing the most direct route from Point A to Point B that it takes you down roads which barely exist, or were used at one time and abandoned, or are not suitable for your car, or which require all kinds of local knowledge that would make you aware that making that turn is bad news.

Trying to determine what these hypnotized drivers might be thinking, Cornell University researchers found that “the process of interpreting the world, adding value to it, and turning space into place is reduced to a certain extent and drivers remain detached from the indifferent environments that surround them.” Bottom line: "GPS eliminated much of the need to pay attention.” As these devices become more ubiquitous, pray for other cars on the road.

Being a man, my personal assistant can read a map and has little use for GPS. But he still gets in trouble now and then. Like that time at Spring Training when he was correcting a wrong turn and wound up bickering with my other assistant like Tarzan and Jane in the GEICO commercial.

Hey, Pops, Guess What? Syrian Refugees Are a Comin'

by Kim D.

This morning started off pretty well until I saw this in my Twitter feed:

Syrian refugees being settled in McBee SC.

— Anthony Jordan (@FafaJordan) May 25, 2016

My first thoughts are great - that's 10 minutes down the road from where my parents live and about five minutes from the Robinson Nuclear Plant. Besides, why McBee - the heart of Bubba land? 

There are only three, main things to know about McBee, South Carolina:

1. Unless you want to be severely reprimanded or punched in the face, never call the town McBee. It's pronounced MAC - Bee.

2. Watch your speed - the town has always been known as a speed trap. It's one of those small, Southern towns that has a courthouse, a jailhouse, an old caboose as a library, a Subway, a few gas stations, an elementary and a high school, and a couple of churches. Highway 151 cuts straight through the center of town which is the main road which leads from Charlotte, NC to the Darlington 500 races and Myrtle Beach. It's one of those towns for which if you blink while driving through, you miss it. Add to that, the police have nothing better to do on most days than to sit in concealed areas and wait for unfortunate speeders to pass through.

3. McBee's main claim to fame sits on the outskirts - McLeod Farms - one of the largest peach producers in the state.

So, I ask, again, why McBee, SC? Before the trolling begins shaming me into acceptance of people who cannot be fully vetted and are coming from an ISIS-infested region of the world, please stop. This is happening in South Carolina for one reason only - federal dollars. South Carolina is one of the poorer states and it has suffered greatly under the Obama administration. 

One website describes McBee as being located "within the state’s “Corridor of Shame,” a broad swath of poor, rural South Carolina that features some of the most corrupt local governments and most poorly-run government school systems." Just down the road, folks in Hartsville would nod their heads in agreement, especially my dad. 

Well watch out Pops because they are a comin'. According to Fits News . . . 

. . .  lawmakers in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina have been desperately trying to reach Haley to voice their opposition to a new planned resettlement complex in McBee, S.C. Haley – who has been a bit, um, “busy” lately – hasn’t returned their calls.

These lawmakers say they have received word that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – is in the process of relocating more than five dozen mobile homes near McBee, S.C.The purpose of these homes?  To provide accommodations for a Syrian refugee resettlement.

Governor Nikki Haley has recently been sued for rolling over and allowing the influx of refugees into the state:

The lawsuit asks for a halt in the refugee resettlement program in South Carolina “until a full accounting of any and all federal money used in this program and specifically where it was allocated and how allocated (and) in which counties.”

The lawsuit has been filed by Attorney Lauren Martel on behalf of Walter “Brian” Bilbro, a South Carolina taxpayer. Mr. Bilbro has said he did not file the lawsuit as part of any group but as a concerned taxpayer who is worried about the security threat the refugee and asylum programs pose to his family and that the community as no way to object to these threats or the the cost imposed on the community to support the people brought into the state.  

The lawsuit would prevent the state from settling any more refugees or asylees until a full accounting of Federal, State, and County funds being appropriated for this program are fully investigated. The lawsuit also seeks to halt courts from “rubber stamping” green cards for minors claiming asylum without vetting their stories. Currently the only information used to determine if a child is fleeing violence and abuse from their home country is their own testimony.

The lawsuit comes as a response to Pres. Obama’s plan to increase the total number of refugees admitted in the U.S. from 70,000-85,000 this year, including at least 10,000 refugees from Syria.

While this drama plays out, remember again that the proposed refugee resettlement complex in McBee is just down the road from a nuclear power plant. Knowing not all refugees can be 100% vetted is it worth the risk? It only takes one ISIS jihadi to make things go BOOM!

Trump Vince Fostering Hillary - Of Course He Went There

by Kim D.

Conspiracy theories are sensational when the focus of their intended target has led a questionable public life.  For this reason, only the Kool-Aid drinkers believed that Ted Cruz had multiple affairs or that his father was somehow involved in the killing of JFK. These allegations were pulled out of thin air and sloppily put together in a manner only meant to rally the troops and place doubt in the minds of undecided primary voters. Perhaps this was simply practice for Donald Trump in preparation for taking on the leviathan oftentimes known as the Hildabeast.

CNN Host Rips Trump for Floating 'Shameful' Vince Foster Conspiracy Theory 'Unt... https://t.co/pZFGhuCfHF via @theblaze #NEVERTRUMP

— Valentine Cotton (@vmpcott) May 25, 2016

Floating shameful conspiracy theories are a part of Trump's strategy. Among low information voters, his poll numbers skyrocket each time he floats a scandalous rumor. Why would he stop especially now that he has his sights set on Hillary Clinton? 

The Clinton family drips scandal and the Vince Foster suicide/murder is a perfect weapon to hurl at Hillary and Bill before the general election begins. For those willing to investigate the entire story, even if they conclude Foster committed suicide, they have to admit he was depressed and driven to take his life because of his association with the Clintons. 

One of his first jobs in the White House was to try to make sense of the Clintons' false tax returns concerning the Whitewater land investment. A note in his hand-writing, found much later, warned that Whitewater was "a can of worms you shouldn't open." 

Another "can of worms" that landed on his desk concerned the collapse of a bank called Madison Guaranty. To his consternation, allegations were being made that funds from the bank had been illegally diverted to Bill Clinton's campaign for governor in the mid-Eighties - and that Bill and Hillary had intervened with state regulators to help keep the bank solvent. 

Foster was also fretting over the "excessive" sums Hillary was lavishing on redecoration of the White House. In the end, though, it was the firing of seven staff - following pressure from the imperious First Lady - that "drove Vince batty," according to White House counsel Bernie Nussbaum.

Apparently, Foster was to do Hillary's dirty work and he was hounded to rid the White House travel office of long standing employees in order to plant Clintonites to these positions. The firing of these employees was a scandal in itself which caused a huge uproar about alleged cronyism. In the end, none of the charges leading to the firings were substantiated. Hillary was proven to be a liar when she denied any involvement:

She now insisted that the firings were not her fault. Others had misconstrued an "off-hand comment": she had meant only to suggest that the staff should "look into" questions about mismanagement. Hillary also insisted she didn't know the "origin of the decision" to remove the employees, and that she "did not direct that any action be taken." An official report issued seven years later concluded that her statements had been "factually false."

Working for a corrupt administration and an overbearing and equally horrid FLOTUS, is it any wonder Foster would want to permanently sever ties? Could dealing with day-to-day corruption and Hillary Clinton drive one to suicide?

At the time, Vince Foster felt deeply responsible for the imbroglio and was worried that Congress might investigate. White House aide David Watkins remembers Foster saying to him "My God, what have we done?" and expressing concern that Hillary's role in the firings would come to light. He urged Watkins to protect "the client" at all costs. Foster knew that in shielding Hillary, he might have to mislead congressional investigators under oath - a grim prospect for a man who took pride in being a straight arrow. 

By mid-July, he had lost more than a stone in weight and seemed unusually subdued. He twice told his wife that he felt under pressure and was thinking of returning to Arkansas. Talking to a colleague about his dealings with Hillary, he said: "It's not the same." On one matter after another, he confided, she would bark "Fix it, Vince!" or "Handle it, Vince!" and leave him to pick up the pieces. 

On July 16, Foster and his wife drove to an inn in Maryland for the weekend. At dinner that night, Foster cried when Lisa asked him "if he felt trapped." Three days later, he called his doctor, who gave him a prescription for the antidepressant Desyrel. The following night, July 20, he was found dead.

However, was it really suicide? The problem with the Clintons is that even moderate supporters would have some doubts. They have been at the heart of so many scandals that involvement in the murder of Vince Foster is plausible. The FBI was the one key thread that led each formal investigation to conclude the death was suicide - the same FBI under the Clinton administration. 

To put things in perspective, of all the Obama administration scandals, who believes the Department of Justice has acted impartially to impart transparency? Or, the IRS has acted impartially and treated all Americans fairly? If answering affirmative to either of these questions, it's way past time to lay off the Kool-Aid. You have a drinking problem.

Much evidence has been submitted that questions the death of Vince Foster and concludes sinister forces were involved and the FBI and others participated in a cover-up to protect the Clintons. Could this evidence be skewed? Of course, that's what conspiracy theorists do best. However, whether it be suicide or murder, Vince Foster's death can be directly associated with Hillary and Bill which makes it the perfect weapon.
