So Minnesotans showed the fuck up tonight (like we do) - thousands in the street protesting tr*mpâs latest executive disorders. And guess what happened? The old proverb âWhat if an emergency vehicle needs to get where itâs goingâ came to life, and the sea went silent and parted to allow it through (swiftlyâŚliterally the truck was going about as fast as, if not faster than, it would have been if there had been cars it needed to go around).
Please share this. This was a rare occurrence where an emergency vehicle needed to go through the route of a protest, when usually they have predetermined alternative routes, and it went completely fine. Also for the love of god, have more respect for firefighters/EMTsâŚthey know how to do their jobs. Theyâre ready for anything, including working around protests.
So folks can stop using that tired old argument now (not that it was ever backed up by sources anyway).
In less years than you think...
We will remember 2016 as the year America had finally become so absolutely dependent on reality shows, we LEGIT elected a reality tv star as president of our great nation.
Our history remains rich and filled with controversy, as the forefathers intended.

I canât believe this actually happened. I really didnât think it could happen, I was jk.

Refugees, ISIS, and Youâre Just Not Making ANY Sense.
Ugh.
Listen. I know you think tough works. Tough on crime, tough on immigration, and tough on terrorism. The âdonât bog me down with details, I know enough to know when to put my foot downâ breed of tough. Itâs American as hell, isnât it?
But I have some bad news for you if this is as far as youâre willing to go when forming your opinion on our public policy: tough is an ingredient -- not a meal, a main dish, or even a side. Tough is necessary like oil is necessary so the chicken doesnât stick to the pan.
In America, we do tough, and we do it well. But tough means nothing if we canât back it up, and right now, weâre failing. You can be tough, sure. But you also need to be smart, strategic, and most of all: you have to know your enemy.
What can you tell me about ISIS, right now?Â
âThey hate America!â
âThey want to destroy our way of life.â
âTheyâre braindead assholes who deserve to die!â
I may not disagree with any of those statements. But thatâs not the point. The point is, if thatâs all we care to know about our enemy, this is going to be a LONG war. Unfortunately though, weâre no strangers to long wars. Because we do this a lot.
You canât talk Syrian refugees unless youâve gotten the primer on ISIS. So if you havenât yet, here it is:
1. ISIS exists to fulfill an old-as-fuck psuedo-Quaranic prophecy (that looks a lot like our violent Old Testament, but different.) They want to establish a caliphate, which is a word youâve probably heard, but also maybe donât know what it means. Letâs do that first. A caliphate is a land that operates under the rule of a caliph (a leader they believe to be a direct successor of Muhammad, who is kind of like our Jesus, except Muhammad and Jesus actually hung out according to the Quaran. Wouldnât put it past âem.)Â
This caliphate would operate under strict Sharia law (which advocates things like cutting off the hand of a thief without trial [our Old Testament does this, too], but also advocates for providing free healthcare and public services to its members, so they think itâs totally worth it.) They believe that non-believers CAN exist in this caliphate, but they must pay a tax that HAS to make them feel "utterly subdued.â
I hate that I have to say this, but pretty much every Muslim except members of ISIS thinks this is all bullshit, too. Just like we do. So chill.
2. They consider America, NATO, and all western-allied nations (including Japan -- thanks for the support!) as âcrusaders.â You know what theyâre talking about. These crusaders:
Those fuckers who also cut peoplesâ heads off a thousand years ago until they submitted to Jesus or whateverthefuck. Thatâs how they see us, and how they see our current military strategy. (Weâre not winning. We should be winning.)
3. According to their prophecy (and their English-language magazine, which we should be READING if we want to know their strategy*), they are awaiting a final battle in Syria. The original text says the Romans will fight the final war, but Christian-led Syria certainly fits the bill here.
 *I know itâs probably forbidden to post links to real ISIS things. I donât give even half of a fuck. You should be reading this, and so should all of us, if only to understand the enemy.Â
4. IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE, READ THIS PART:
ISIS is probably the most predictable enemy the United States has ever faced. WHY THE FUCK ARENâT WE USING THIS TO OUR ADVANTAGE? This is what I feel like Iâm seeing in our current approach:
- âHm, ISIS is telling us exactly where and when theyâre going to attack. Looks like they want to lure us in for an ultimate battle that kills most of them, but leaves a chosen few behind!â
- âWhy donât you SHUT THE FUCK UP and stop reading terrorist propaganda, huh? How about that? What weâre going to do is go in for an ultimate battle that kills at least most of them! Thatâs an America-style victory!â
-Â âBut... but thatâs exactly what they want?â
-Â âWHAT PART OF SHUT THE FUCK UP ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING? Weâre going to kill the enemy because that is what we do.â
This strategy is killer. In the bad sense of the word killer, because itâs going to end in a lot of dead Americans. Can we not, maybe?
I get it. We should use their understanding of their own impending doom against them. Except we canât use human soldiers, because thatâs exactly what their book said we would do. So letâs use drones! For the first time in forever, Iâm a full supporter of drone warfare. There is no ancient Quaranic text about drones, and we got plenty.
NOW WHO ARE THE SYRIAN REFUGEES?
I get that you know that theyâre women and children and helpless and homeless and even in grave danger! But you know who they are to ISIS? Theyâre the apostates. That is, theyâre the non-believers in the ISIS strategy who need to get the fuck out of Syria before they themselves are beheaded. Itâs already happened to hundreds of people just minding their own business, and their religion is irrelevant. Like I said before, pretty much all Muslims who arenât ISIS think this shit is just as ridiculous as we do. Except where theyâre from, that perfectly logical belief will get you and your family massacred before you even know what hit you. Wouldnât you get the fuck out? Is that even a question?
So when a refugee asks to enter your country -- (not your home, or even your life) -- telling them no is the equivalent of telling ISIS yes. Yes you can have these people who hate you back, and yes you can cut their throats one by one to instill fear into anyone who disagrees with your asinine plans.
[insert explanation of the meticulous steps the UNCHR takes to verify the refugee status of Syrian immigrants, and mention how so far, every ISIS member with a refugee passport has stolen that passport, probably from one of the [insert number] of poor fuckers who have died on their journey to sustain life.]
So letâs do all of humanity a favor, and stop saying no to our allies. The Syrian refugees have more of a stake in ISISâs destruction than ANYONE else. No other population of reasonable people just trying to live their lives is more against ISIS succeeding. So by letting these destitute families into our nation, weâre not just going above and beyond our charitable tendencies. Weâre sending a BIG fuck you to ISIS, and weâre making our loyalties clear -- if you fuck with the Satan America, you will get droned to oblivion, and no one will feel bad.
Wanna know why ISIS burns people to death or cuts their heads off with dull knives? Itâs for the shock value.
Let us know our enemy as best we can, and only then will we defeat them.

Canajoharie by TMBG, covered by Ashley & Judson for #toomuchtmbgweek! Featuring a melodica.
The House votes to defund Planned Parenthood, and nothing happens.
WARNING: This is a long post. If youâre not a fan of my long-winded tirades, please scroll to the bottom for a tl;dr. Iâve got your back, yo.
Fuck, guys. Abortion sucks. Iâm not being sarcastic, or facetious, or whatever snarky business you think Iâm up to. Even people who have had abortions know abortions suck. They just do.Â
In preparation for this post, I started reading up on Planned Parenthood statistics. Then, something drove me to search youtube for actual footage of abortion procedures. I donât know why I did this, because the bill Iâm writing about today has absolutely nothing to do with abortions. I want to make that clear. Anyway, it was terrible and awful and abortion is just the worst. God fucking damn. The worst. :(
Moving on, letâs talk about the Defund Planned Parenthood bill that passed the House of Representatives today. First, letâs clarify that the House doesnât make laws. They just help laws get made, and thank God for that (because they are awful).Â
Itâs easy to post scandalous headlines claiming that the House has voted to defund Planned Parenthood, and therefore Planned Parenthood has been defunded. But thatâs just not how it works. Not even a little. Please unsubscribe from any newsletter that tells you that, because theyâre playing you like a dollar store melodica. And youâre smarter than that.
I love Planned Parenthood-- I should get that out of the way right now. For the past 5+ years, Planned Parenthood has been my sole womenâs health clinic. Theyâve smeared my pap in all their freezing-cold speculum glory. Theyâve tested me for STDâs one hundred thousand times (Iâm a nervous person, okay?), and theyâve provided me with a yearâs supply (every year!) of 28-day birth control pills which have successfully kept me out of the olâ abortion room for almost a decade.
I know. Itâs weird to hear me talk about my vagina, because Iâm basically a dude most of the time. But ignoring oneâs vagina has always seemed like an unwise idea to me, so I care for mine pretty closely. Itâs working out so far.
Itâs hard for me to stop talking about abortion, because the majority of the debate on the House floor this morning focused on the horrors of abortion. But I have to remind myself that the federal proposal to defund Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with abortion. Let me explain why.
Planned Parenthood is funded under a federal provision called Title X, which is an equally badass and ominous name for the Family Planning Program, started by our very own Richard Nixon. Not kidding. Look it up.Â
Nixon created Title X funding primarily to issue contraceptives to those with human urges who really shouldnât be having kids. It was an overwhelming success, partially because human urges are surprisingly common. But also partially due to the fact that Title X prohibits funding of âabortion as a means of family planning.â Maybe if you or the baby was actually in danger of dying from uncontrollable circumstances, the procedure would be treated as a necessary medical one and funded. But since the majority of abortions are voluntary and societal-pressure based, almost all abortions are discounted from any type of federal funding.
This means that your tax dollars do not, and have never, funded abortion. Moreover, in the more than 820 Planned Parenthood clinics, only 3% of the Planned Parenthood services performed are abortion-related. The majority of Planned Parenthoodâs services are split between providing contraceptives (35%), and STI (STD) testing and treatment (also 35%). 16% of that funding is cancer screening and prevention, and again, 3% is abortions. That sector is doing pretty well without our funding, mostly because Planned Parenthood is not a fucking abortion clinic.Â
If you get nothing else out of this writing, please, please, PLEASE for the love of GOD, hear this: Women who go to Planned Parenthood for an abortion pay for their abortion themselves. Much like lunches, there is no such thing as a free abortion.
You may have seen the 3 or 4 âleakedâ videos of âundercover whistleblowersâ conversing with Planned Parenthood employees about fetal tissue sales âfor profit.â (what?! that part didnât even happen, but I still hear about it constantly on the House floor.) Take what you want from those, but know this:
In the first video, there are no less than FORTY cuts and edits that leave out vital words like, âWe would never do this for profit,â or âWe are only recovering our costs.â Isnât it crazy what we learn once we get our hands on the unedited footage? So crazy. So crazy that itâs almost suspicious.
Each one of the undercover Planned Parenthood videos circulating the web was edited so heavily, that combined, they created an uproar of epic proportions. For those not familiar with slyly-added cuts and edits, the video reads as if Planned Parenthood doctors were talking poor, confused women into going through with the procedure so they could carefully remove intact body parts and sell them to the black market.Â
But what actually happened when the full, unedited footage was released, was this:Â
Nothing. Nothing happened. Several federal entities investigated, and based on the raw data, found that no laws were broken, and there was no reason to blow more taxpayer money on a foolâs errand. I really want you to remember that.
For the abortions that do happen, I will tell you that some good does come of them, as horrible as they are. You can be 100% anti-abortion and still see my point on this one, so here it is: Stem cells.
I can not count the number of times Iâve yelled âSTEM CELLS STEM CELLS STEM CELLS!â at C-SPAN radio today. Maybe you can ask my saintly boyfriend, who had to sit through each overly-vocal rant.
Stem cells are cells that can become anything. Weâre still learning what it is that helps them realize their purpose, but itâs become very clear to us in recent years that they will serve a huge role in not just treating, but curing devastating diseases like MS, Cerebral Palsy, Alzheimer's, and a thousand other afflictions. Stem cells are truly the most incredible kind of cell, and theyâre very hard to find in nature. Most stem cells that end up in top scientific laboratories, endlessly searching for a cure to these ailments, come from fetal tissue.
So you can hate abortion more than anything. You can consider the start of life as the moment of conception, and cringe at the thought that this practice is legal in any form. But you would be remiss to ignore the above.
The fact is, no matter your feelings, early-term abortion is legal in every state in the US. And the earlier the term, the more useful the stem cells. So while itâs happening, and while you live in a nation where people are free to decide to have such a procedure, you can at least hope that tissue, person, or whatever you call it, will serve a higher purpose. And stem cell research is an incredibly noble one. To deny that is to deny reality. Really.
UGH! Iâm talking about abortion again! Fuck you, the House. I wanted to write about how the fact that this bill passed the House of Representatives doesnât make it a law. The Senate very likely wonât pass it (the Senate is where awful bills go to die), and the president will certainly not sign it. But the government may very well shut down if we donât get our budget in on time, and the last time that happened, it cost our nation over $100 million. So we ought to be a little upset if that happens.
Anyway, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act is 100% unrelated to abortion, because abortion is never allowed to be funded by the federal government. Itâs the law, and it has been since 1970. Planned Parenthood funding goes to people like me, who use it to not have babies before theyâre ready. And if what you just read infuriated you, Iâll bet youâre pretty glad that an ignoramus like me isnât reproducing. (I will though. Iâm going to have a thousand babies someday, when Iâm rich. Get ready.)
Thanks for sticking with me through this, if you happened to. Iâll include a tl;dr at the end in case you simply could not even.
tl;dr: The bill to defund Planned Parenthood does not concern abortions, because abortions were never funded. The woman has to pay for hers. Also, itâs not going to become law because itâs not going to pass the Senate or the presidentâs desk. But it sure may shut down the government! More on that soon.
Ask Me Why I Love Chris Christie.
Itâs not because heâs easy to make fun of, though that will always be true no matter what else happens.
Itâs not because he allowed his team to shut down two of Fort Leeâs three toll lanes in an insolent effort to lash out at a political opponent. Although, that was pretty fucking funny.
Actually, Iâm gonna touch on this real quick, because I donât think anyone has explained it well enough yet. Letâs say you have great political ambitions, and you end up working as an aide to Chris Christie. Awesome, right?! Fuck, youâre so powerful. Youâve been trusted to deal with the mundane in order to clear the way for the big-picture governor who gave you that trust. So what do you do? You make enemies, and you love it. You concoct a dastardly plan with your cohorts to make your enemies squirm, and you require no oversight from the big guy himself. You got this. Chris Christieâs gonna be so proud of you. Heâll totally think this is a good idea. Once he finds out about it. After youâve already done it.
Damn. Heâs mad at you now.
Now that weâve squared that away, letâs resume my maybe unexpected explanation of a candidate few would expect me to endorse. And remember, this is only my second endorsement in the 5+ years Iâve been waxing politically. This is bigger for me than you might think.
Chris Christie is running under the GOP. I fucking hate the GOP. But you wanna know how I know my love for Christopher Christie is real? Because even though Iâm me, Iâm gonna vote for the GOP if he ends up being their candidate. I really, really am, and Iâm not scared of whatâs gonna happen if people know that. Because Iâve thought about this, long and hard, for years. For about four years. Which is a whopping 15% of my life, because I am but a baby politico.
Chris Christie is the most refreshing thing Iâve had the pleasure to absorb since I started following politics in elementary school. All my life, Iâve known three things about my ill-advised topic of obsession:
1. Politicians lie. They lie for job security. They lie to save face. They lie because they want you to love them. Because they can never love themselves, because they know theyâve done wrong, and they canât stand to have you mad at them.
2. Even when our votes matter, we will vote irresponsibly according to a delicate equation that is based on the amount each candidate spends on our love. We are sugar babies, and most of us are okay with that. Entertainment is its own currency, and thereâs nothing inherently wrong with that. Itâs disgustingly American and I love it.
3. Almost every Washington politician feels helpless in their own right. Thatâs something almost nobody thinks about. But think about it right now. If a candidateâs funding determines their employment, and their funding comes from less-than-reputable sources, how do they keep their jobs? There is only one real answer to that question, it makes everyone uncomfortable, and itâs also completely true. They skeez.
Now let me tell you what I know about Chris Christie:
1. Chris Christie does not give a flying fuck what you think about him. Never will a day go by when a person like Christie wakes up, and asks himself, âDo the people still love me?â He truly does not give a single fuck. This means that he has no motivation to lie so youâll like him. Your approval of his mandates has never made him feel a thing. You may as well not exist. And that is the beauty of Chris Christie.
2. When Chris Christie talks, people listen. Just like when the owner of your favorite bar comes out from the back room to tell you about his day, you donât interrupt him. This a fucking good story. This is not the kind of story that needs a well-funded ad campaign around it. Itâs just a good fucking story, and youâre listening.
3. Some people entangle themselves into systems that they know can never justify their actions. Chris Christie was born with a pocket full of wrenches to throw into these systems. He is just not fucking having it. Seriously, try him. He wants you to fuck with him. Go ahead, try it.
But although he has zero tolerance for your nonsense, there is one remaining selling point that I promise youâve never seen exalted in your entire adult life.
Christie loves compromise. The ability to reasonably and responsibly sit down with your opponent, and work some shit out. That raw, unbridled agreement to hash out your differences, see eye-to-eye, and make a god-damned decision for once.Â
When Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast, and the GOP, Christieâs own party, overwhelmingly voted against relief funds, here is literally what Chris Christie said about that:
"There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims-- the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner. This is not a republican or a democratic issue. National disasters happen in red states and blue states and states with democratic governors and republican governors. We respond to innocent victims of natural disasters, not as republicans or democrats, but as Americans. Or at least we did until last night.â
This is a real excerpt of Chris Christie talking mad shit about his own party. Go ahead and find me a Hillary Clinton quote that even peripherally resembles that.
Go on, Iâll wait.
Hey, I saw your post about Adam Schiff. He's my representative too, but I was wondering if you've heard of his opponent Steve Stokes. I just discovered him tonight and I was pretty impressed so I wrote this: [can't post the link but it's my most recent post] -- I'd be really interested to know what you think! :)
hi,Â
I read your post.  I didnât realize Adam wasnât for labeling GMO products. I just read an article about a state being sued by Monsanto because the state, i think it was Idaho, wants to start labeling their products.  The sad part is Monsanto is such a wealthy company that it actually might win over the state, due to lack of funds.  Iâm think fresh meat is the way to go in congress. Members of congress have been in serving for 15-30 years and I think thats he problem. This country needs fresh views, younger people, and there should be a limit on how long a congressman or woman should be in the senate. They can move state to state as serve until they retire.  Congress as it stands doesnât reflect the younger view, our generation.  We need more people who passionate about change.  And if Steve Stokes is passionate, he may be who i vote for.  I respect that you re interested in politics. our generation stays away from that subject because they think they canât make a change but, I think as a group we really can⌠now i sound like obama.. lol
ciao dear
i just saw this! I like the way you think :) Happy election day, and keep fighting the good fight!
Meet Steve Stokes.
If you've ever read my stuff, you'll know that I rarely (read: never) endorse candidates for any election. I try to always keep things informational, and even when I do get opinionated, I generally stay away from outright endorsements and instead just ask you to please vote. For anything.
I've met Adam Schiff, and I've even had the pleasure of interviewing him when he visited Glendale College in 2011. He's a smart guy and a great politician, but he's a staunch Democrat in a House of partisan politics he just isn't trying very hard to fix. This is Schiff's voting record:
The reason Congress is so laughably inactive is because both parties-- Democrats and Republicans-- refuse to budge when voting according to the party line. As great a guy as Adam Schiff is, this would be his 14th consecutive year as Representative, and that alone is a poisonous factor.
On its own, incumbency is definitely not a good enough reason to kick someone out of office. But their record certainly is. And in the last 13 years, Rep. Schiff has been a consistently unilateral presence, acting only in the interest of other staunch Democrats who urge him to stay the party line-- sometimes outright defying logic.
I left the Democratic party when I was 21, realizing how hypocritical it was to align myself with 50% of the problem. I may have my personal beliefs, and a good lot of them might even align better with the left than the right-- but I wanted to pledge my allegiance to facts, not immensely flawed parties.
If you're still not convinced that no party is better than any party, I'm not going to change your mind. But if you're tired of both sides refusing to compromise on even the simplest issues, read on.
Steve Stokes is running against Adam Schiff for California's 28th district seat. And this is me choosing him as my first-ever endorsement. This time, instead of just asking you to vote, I want you to vote for Steve Stokes. And I'll tell you why, at the risk of you trusting me less if you disagree.
When I think of the ideal Congressional candidate (Congress' current state considered), I want fresh meat. But doesn't experience breed competence? I used to think so too, until I started paying attention to the daily lives of politicians.
This is how a typical "broken-in" House rep's workday goes:
⢠Make your way to the House floor.
⢠If you have something to say, you approach the speaker and debate, using already-prepared remarks instead of responding to the opposition directly. If you have nothing to say that day, you generally leave during debates and come back when it's time to vote.
⢠Vote on a bill you very likely did not read in its entirety. Your intern says they did, but they probably didn't either. Some bills are over five hundred pages long.
⢠Once the proverbial bell rings, you dash across the street to a special building used specifically for calling wealthy donors and asking for their generosity to help keep your political career alive. They do this in a separate building, because it's technically illegal to do it from the Capitol building.
If you think this is a pathetic way to do your job, I can assure you that most Congressional reps agree with you. But for the ones who have been around a while, they know it's just the way it goes, and they strive to be better at it than anyone else.
This is why we need fresh meat to challenge the system. And Steve Stokes is the freshest.
Steve Stokes is not affiliated with any party, which I already love. I want to link you to his website, but it's horribly designed, so I'll give you some bullet points instead.
⢠Stokes believes that GMO's should be labeled. I also believe that, and I even did a video about it in 2012. Simply put, I personally do not fear GM foods, but I have absolutely zero qualms about informing anyone about what is in their food. I still can not even believe this is a question. Adam Schiff voted Yes on HR 933 last year, affectionately called the "Monsanto Protection Act." For a guy who openly opposes Monsanto's takeover of America's food supplies, that's a little depressing.
⢠Steve Stokes believes that the Dodd-Frank was a toothless excuse of a knee-jerk reaction to the '07-'08 US financial crisis-- and so do I. Schiff was in full favor of the resolution, because it looked a lot more effective than it was.
⢠Stokes favors term limits of 10 years. That's a bit generous IMO, but it clearly doesn't factor into Schiff's plans. There's a reason James K. Polk makes my list of top-5 presidents of all time-- he knew when to step down, scandal-free. I've already said what I could about what negative effects decades-deep incumbents suffer. We are not better off for their years of experience.
There's a lot more to say, so screw it-- I'll link to his poorly-designed website.
And listen-- Steve Stokes is almost definitely not going to win next month. But if you vote for him, I vote for him, and we support the remedies he could bring to the seat he deserves, we can absolutely make him our next representative. Doing what's right, even when it's not what's popular, has always been the smartest way to approach a political conundrum.Â
If you have any questions, obviously hit me up. And if you read this entire thing, I am genuinely impressed. Together, we can give a shit.

THIS is why ISIS is growing exponentially.
ISIS, (which is what I'm going to call that group of maniacs probably forever, because unlike good people with pronoun preferences, these fuckers don't deserve constant name-change recognition), is not winning hearts and minds by droves in the Middle East like you've heard.
The western media (and the UN) will have you believe that it's ISIS's ideology that's infecting Middle Eastern youth, causing the group to expand and grow more rapidly than anyone had expected.
Well, ISIS is for sure growing. But it's not because they're right, and it's DEFINITELY not because they're inspiring. It's because they're insanely wealthy.
ISIS is wealthy because of its oil reserves, mostly. They claim to represent the best interests of all Muslims, which is bullshit because roughly 99% of all Muslims deplore their actions. I can throw around figures in the nineties, because there are 1.6 BILLION Muslims in the world, and MAYBE 30 thousand ISIS fighters. But even then, most of those aren't gung-ho for ISISÂ ideology.
They're mercenaries.Â
Because ISIS is so god damned rich, and because so many citizens of isolated nations in Eastern Europe and the Middle East are so god damned poor, ISIS continues to grow.
They're growing because ISIS will pay you 60 Euro per DAY to fight on their behalf. And as a resident of an isolated nation, you likely aren't aware of the gruesome atrocities being committed on ISIS's behalf.
It makes about as much sense as working for a corporation you don't really believe in, but it's a job and it feeds your family. And once you arrive to the training camp, they get you so pumped about the freedom fighting you're gonna do, you try to convince yourself your job can maybe be okay if you try to make it feel kind of fun. Like we all kind of do at our jobs, but with much, much more dire consequences.
An 8-year-old boy from Kosovo (a STRIKINGLY pro-American nation) was secretly taken from his mother by his father several weeks ago. His father took him to Syria so they could join ISIS as mercenaries for 60 Euros a day. While his father trains to be a fighter, the boy is living with Albanian families among other ISIS kids whose families needed the money. There are pictures of him on social media doing the ISIS gang sign with his pals, and he called his mother and uncle to ask them to come join. His uncle said that the 8-year-old suddenly sounds like a tortured adult when he speaks, from just weeks of being around the training camp in Syria.
We can stop ISIS. We will stop ISIS. But we need to understand why ISIS exists before we can destroy it.
Poverty breeds desperation.
Desperation breeds violence.
Violence breeds prejudice.

The Marijuana Debate.
My response to NYT readers against the legalization of marijuana.
Levy Thamba fell from a hotel balcony after ingesting 6 x the normal dose of a marijuana cookie and then standing on the edge of a balcony. The marijuana is slightly less at fault than the person trying to balance after eating a frat houseâs worth of weed cookies.
Richard Kirk shot his wife after eating some weed candy, and taking opiate painkillers. Coupled with a likely pre-existing mental condition like schizophrenia, and that drug cocktail can make you almost as crazy as too much beer.
Marinol and Epidolex both exclude the cannabinoids that are being studied for their use as a tumor deterrent, mood improvement medication, and many other potential uses.
Drug trafficking in a black market is an unregulated catastrophe whose worst victims have nowhere to turn for protection. This article is about legalization. Itâs not drug trafficking if itâs legal.
"Permissive drug culture" has existed in the United States since the early 1920s when "magic bullet" pills were being discovered for use in medical and patent medications. Â
The group that we came to call âISISâ and currently calls itself âthe Islamic Stateâ has gone through a number of name changes in its short history. Are we obligated to honor its current name?
A short and reasonable answer is that, no, ISIS is a bunch of tyrannical psychopaths, and we donât owe...
I've been meaning to write on this, but this more or less nails the way I feel on the ever-"evolving" title of the most brutal ragtag group of murderers I've seen in my lifetime.
The story broke when I was on a BBC kick, which calls the group ISIS. This, of course, evoked thoughts of television hit Archer, and made me a little uncomfortable, but willing to deal.
When the president took notice of the group publicly, he called it ISIL from the get-go. I had to look that up, since the Levant was something of a new concept to me. In reality, though, the Levant has been recognized in the English-speaking world since 1497. According to Wikipedia, it's Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and part of southern Turkey.
When they changed recently to IS, and our media changed along with them, I had to wonder why we as a nation were more ready to accept a ruthless murdergang's name change than that of a drag queen on Facebook.
Who gives a fuck what they want to be called this week? They're garbage, this week and every week after that.
C-SPAN, no.
C-SPAN online has joined the ranks of those requiring an account with a major cable provider in order to view live content.
Congratulations, Big Cable, on taking away my favorite fucking thing on the Internet.
How convenient that you should drastically limit access to live coverage of major political events like net neutrality hearings right before a major decision on the matter.
How convenient that the citizens most involved in the net neutrality debate are also those with the biggest qualms against major cable providers, many of whom don't have cable subscriptions.
How convenient that your massive Washington influence was able to strong-arm America's only long-form public affairs programming station into requiring a subscription to your outdated cable services, just as it was reaching the age of HTML5-level modernization.
And how unfortunate that I and others must now look at C-SPAN and see the ugly influence of Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, and the others, where we used to see hope in the shadows of raw accountability.
I am very sad.

An Open Letter to Bob Latta of Ohio.
Hi Mr. Latta,
I'm a 24-year-old go-getter from New York, living in Los Angeles, and I want to have my own TV show someday. Only, I don't want it to be on TV. I want it to be online, so that I can have control over its content, which is something a television network can't really allow.
Ambitious, I know. But can you blame me? Ever since I was 10 years old, I've had access to some sort of Internet. And ever since I was 10, I've known my future would be made by this strange new tool. It was clear that open access to my peers and beyond would do a much better job at making this weird kid successful than the tools we had laying around when I was born.
Bob, I don't like government regulation either. I help run a very ambitious small business, in California of all places. I can't think of a more overregulated place than Los Angeles county for a business trying to make its mark. The permits, the licenses, the fees we clearly can't afford as a new enterprise. And the mandated LCD recycling fees? It's beyond absurd.
But there is one thing I fear more than the authorities of Los Angeles county, and it's the telecommunications companies that control our Internet infrastructure. I and my business are both mandated to use Time Warner Cable as our service provider of choice. Why? Because each town and city is relegated to a government-allowed monopoly of Internet service, and that's bad enough.
But you know what's worse? That government-allowed monopoly being allowed by the government to charge my blog and my website and my 9-year-old YouTube channel a premium to reach my viewers. I'm 24 years old and as broke as you'd expect. How do you suspect I'd make my way to my viewers without a special interest investment under the lack of regulation your bill encourages?
Bob-- can I call you Bob? We are more similar than we are different. I may be a struggling Los Angeles youth, but government regulation has added more burden to my life than anything else has in the past 2 years. I am by no means a liberal democrat. I'm just a kid trying to make it, and I hope you understand that by pushing to refute the reclassification of Internet as a Title 2 service, you are directly threatening my future, and the future of literally millions of my peers.
Don't believe me? Go to YouTube, and look at the most viewed videos of the day. How many of those content creators could have afforded a fast lane?
Bob, the right thing to do almost never comes from the same place as the money that funds you. I won't purport to know who paid you what, even though I could look it up if I wanted to. That's accusatory, and I don't intend to fight with you. I just hope that you and your staff understand the massive impact that this bill will have on our nation's youth, its future, and its impact on the world as formidable creators of the Internet we all share.
Please do the right thing, Representative Latta. We are watching, and we expect you to do what's best for our nation. Thanks for your time.
