  "Ancient Rome had a 'social class' of 'knights' -- equites, horsemen -- but no men like the medieval knights could have existed in Arthur's time.   Mailed cavalry, however, had played a major role for more than a century.   A question that arises is whether the accounts of the knights of Arthur, in Geoffrey [of Monmouth] and later writers, could echo some tradition of British cavalry on the late-imperial model." --- Geoffrey Ashe 1985 _The Discovery of King Arthur_ pg76

Ted Cruz defended Carly Fiorina's displacement of bright, industrious, creative USA citizen STEM professionals by cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled guest-workers with questionable ethics
"...Fox News host Chris Wallace pressed Cruz about his decision to appoint Fiorina as his running mate hopeful given her business record of laying off some 33K workers and aggressively out-sourcing USA jobs while she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard.   'Out-sourcing [and off-shoring] is a big issue in Indiana.', Wallace said.   'The company that controls Carrier Air Conditioning has announced they're going to ship 2100 jobs from Indiana to Mexico.   But Fiorina has a record as head of Hewlett Packard laying off 30K people and outsourcing many of those jobs to India and [Red China].   So I guess the question is: Will the Cruz-Fiorina team do the same thing to Indiana that she did to Hewlett-Packard?'...   Cruz then proceeded to defend Fiorina's business record, declaring: She helped HP [shift away from its core competency of designing and manufacturing high quality electronics test instruments, to branding over-priced, low-quality digital cameras, printers, scanners, and micro-computers, while eviscerating customer support]...   a 2010 Los Angeles Times report...found that Fiorina’s claim was misleading and seemed to depend upon calculating worldwide employment growth, rather than USA employment growth, which actually dropped under Fiorina's tenure...   However, steel and manufacturing plants closed across the USA for the last 40 years not [only] because of [ObummerDoesn'tCare] or regulations, but because of illict trading practices and foreign product dumping.   The effects of these trading practices have been acutely felt in Indiana.   As the Chicago Tribune reported in 2015 March, CEOs of US Steel Corp., and other industry [executives] have 'described an influx of steel imports that are taking up an increasingly larger percentage of the market, causing industry lay-offs in Northwest Indiana and across the country.   They said today's imports [from Red China], Turkey and South Korea have surpassed the amount dumped here in the late 1990s that resulted in the bankruptcies of major steel players.'..."

The hate-filled Anjem Choudary said that as far as Muslims are concerned, we want the whole of Israel, which includes what Palestine currently occupies, that he would prefer for Muslims to occupy all of Israel and that Israelis should be driven out their land.   "...Choudary ignored the existence of historic Jewish communities that have lived in Israel continuously for hundreds of years.   And he glossed over the history of Jewish refugees immigrating to Israel because they were forced to flee their homes throughout the Arab world after the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948..."

has the anti-constitutional notion of "executive action" for "Syrian" "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylum seekers"/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals/ illegal aliens thoroughly infected UNHCR
"...the relevant point is that Syrians who have removed themselves from the immediate conflict zone into safe regions such as Turkey have once again shown themselves to be something other than 'refugees fleeing violence' by their involvement in prior attacks and thwarted attacks in the places that have provided them safe haven: Turkey, Europe, and elsewhere.   That the jihadists have managed to intermingle so thoroughly with those truly in need of refuge is troubling in the extreme.   Then there is the question of many others who may not be outright terrorists, but whose motives and bonafides are open to question even as they flock across international borders, legally or otherwise, under the auspices of the 'UN High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) and other international organizations..."

USA citizens at a disadvantage as GHWBush-Clinton-Shrub-Obummer stagflation continues and USA job markets continue into worse dysfunction by the week
"Americans have a lot of bucking up to do if they are to compete effectively and reverse a $4K decline in family incomes in this century.   International supply chain companies, like Li and Fung in apparel and household items and [cross-border bodyshop and off-shorer] Wipro in electronics and 'IT', specialize in out-sourcing products designed and services managed by American companies.   Asian workers often do not enjoy the kinds of health care and income guarantees federal and state programs provide Americans.   They are simply more willing to accept alternating periods of unemployment and intense overtime work—for example, churning out millions of garments and computer games for the holiday rush.   American trade diplomats can't force all of Asia to replicate the USA [socialist concrete galoshes].   That makes essential reforming [or eliminating unconstitutional schemes like] Medicaid, [ObummerDoesn'tCare] subsidies and income support programs to encourage seasonal employment and [being sucked into the under-paid bodyshop] market.   Moving up the jobs market, many Americans often don't have the skills to do the jobs that are left.   In factories, robots have been able to lift and weld fenders onto autos for quite some time now, but machines are now moving into tasks that require far more complex thinking and subtle dexterity—for example the handling of fabrics to sew button holes and attach sleeves to shirts.   Large commercial bakeries, for example, are becoming 'closed looped'.   Soon the only humans will be those programming the machines, keeping the books and delivering the bread...   In factories and across supply chains, for example, thousands of jobs are available but go unfilled for programming and managing computer controlled machines and repairing sophisticated machinery, which require an advanced understanding of mechanics and electronics and specialized welding [which millions of unemployed and even more under-employed USA citizen STEM professionals could be doing, if only the gate-keepers weren't actively filtering them out]..."

a dark time in USA
"Every distinctive value on which America was founded is in jeopardy.   According to a Pew Research Center study, more and more young Americans do not believe in freedom of speech for what they deem hate speech.   40% of respondents ages 18 to 34 agreed that offensive statements should be outlawed.   [I find their behavior offensive!]   According to a series of Harvard University polls, about 47% of Americans ages 18 to 29 believe that food, shelter and health care [which exist only due to human intelligence and productivity] 'are a right that government should provide to those unable to afford them'.   That means that nearly half our young believe they have a legitimate claim on the labor and earnings of others for life's basic necessities.   More than half of 18- to 29-year-old Americans do not support capitalism, the source of the prosperity they enjoy, and the only economic system that has ever lifted mass numbers of people out of poverty.   When young Americans see pictures of the Founding Fathers, they do not see the great men that most Americans have seen throughout American history; they see white males who were affluent (now derisively labeled 'privileged') and owned slaves.   The belief that certain fundamental rights are God-based [or inherent in human beings as such] -- a view held by every American founder and nearly all Americans throughout its history -- is reviled outside of conservative religious circles, and held by fewer and fewer Americans today.   The view that male and female are distinctive identities -- one of the few unquestioned foundational views of every society in history -- is being obliterated.   Simply saying that one believes (all things being equal) a child does best starting out life with a married father and mother will ensure they'll be considered [by hate-spewing leftists to be] a 'hater'.   The ideas that America should be a melting pot, or that all Americans should identify as American, are now unutterable in educated company.   In fact, many college campuses do not have an American flag on their campus because some students regard it as offensive and representational of imperialism and capitalism.   In addition, virtually every major institution is in decay or disarray.   Religious institutions, which, for most of American history, have been the most important institutions in everyday American life, are being rendered irrelevant.   And a larger number of Americans, many more than ever before, do not identify with any religion.   The traditional family has become nothing more than one of many options open to Americans.   For the first time in American history there are more unmarried women than married women.   The number of adults age 34 and under who have never been married is nearing 50%.   In recent years, data showed just 20% of Americans ages 18 to 29 are wedded, compared to nearly 60% in 1960.   Additionally, more than 40% of American births are to unmarried women.   Among Hispanic women the percent is over 53, and among black women the rate is over 71%..."

"The feds charge that $20M was obtained fraudulently in an immigration scheme that involved hundreds of Asians, and that part of the scam involved a geographic area that our government has ruled to be economically depressed.     Sounds like another EB-5 scandal, right?     Wrong!     Most of the money, according to an indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia, came out of the H-1B program, with lesser sums being obtained from Small Business Administration [SBA] benefits.     The whole thing started out on what I -- if not the feds -- regard as a romantic moment.     Reading between the lines of one of those stolid, just-the-facts-ma'am indictments, we find that the principal conspirator, Raju Kosuri, organized in 2000 what sounds like a rent-a-programmer corporation, EcomNets, Inc., which either had then, or secured later, a tenuous tie to Danville, VA, a tired old factory town that was losing its furniture manufacturing business.     (A reporter for the local paper, the Register-Bee, told me Monday that Kosuri's firm maintained a very small operation in Danville, though it had proclaimed much larger ones in the past.)     Back to the romance: In 2001, Kosuri used his new corporation to file an H-1B petition for Smriti Jharia to work for the firm as an H-1B.     She was either then married to, or later became married to, Kosuri -- the indictment is not helpful in this area.     Kosuri, at the time of the indictment, is a lawful permanent alien, but probably did not have that status in 2001 when he used H-1B to bring his bride to this country.     Had he had a green card in 2001 it would have been far easier, faster, and cheaper to cause her migration as a spouse.     (The indictment can be seen in the PACER system of electronic court documents as case 1:16-cr-00043-LMB.)     Perhaps operating on the well-known premise that a couple that preys together, stays together, the two apparently remain married to this date, and both were indicted together, as were 4 others.     This was no one-off offense, like a solitary bank robbery.     This was crime on a massive, industrial, assembly-line scale.     There are, in this indictment:     6 defendants,     7 different federal crimes charged,     27 counts in the indictment, involving     800 illegal aliens, resulting in     $20M in ill-gotten gains to be forfeited.     The scale is breath-taking, and the feds' ignorance of it for years is as if the Confederacy had not noticed Sherman's march to the sea.     The 7 crimes are: visa fraud per se, conspiracy to commit visa fraud, aggravated identity theft, international money laundering, making false statements to the Small Business Administration [SBA] per se, conspiracy to make such false statements, and unlawful procurement of naturalization.     The indictment closes with a list of 'assets [that] are proceeds of the offenses charged here or property involved in the offenses charged herein and are therefore subject to forfeiture'.     The list includes a 2010 Mercedes 400S sedan, 3 pieces of real estate, and 29 bank accounts held by the defendants and companies that they control.     The total value of all this swag is noted as $20.7M, but there are no statements about the size of each individual asset.     Amongst all this immigration-related financial fraud there are some purely immigration matters.     Kosuri's wife and another defendant, Sanchita Bhattacharya, are both charged with unlawful procurement of naturalization; if they are convicted of these charges they would cease to be citizens and would be subject to possible deportation.     Kosuri's brother-in-law, Vikrant Jharia (brother to Smriti), who joined his sister in Virginia in an act of chain migration, may also be illegally in this country (the indictment is often vague about such things); he certainly is charged with committing immigration fraud regarding other aliens.     Some of the defendants are also charged with fraud in connection with one of the many programs operated by the Small Business Administration.     SBA seeks to bring more federal money into Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones), which is a term for the downtowns of Rust Belt cities, which most certainly covers places like Danville.     That city, with a population of about 42K and declining, has a median household income of $30,188, less than half the average for the state of Virginia.     Certain businesses in HUBZones get breaks when they bid on federal contracts or seek loans from banks.     Kosuri made successful, but fraudulent, applications for HUBZone benefits (35% of his workers, for instance, were not employed in a HUBZone as they were supposed to be -- they were scattered around the country while Kosuri and his wife lived and worked in an affluent part of Northern Virginia, Loudoun county).     The indictment notes two benefits that Kosuri secured from the HUBZone identification: an SBA-guaranteed loan of $150K and federal contracts (with unnamed agencies) for at least $47,472...     The first of the three major problems with the indictment is the way it completely ignores the fact that the conspirators were bringing 800 illegal aliens to this country, thus denying jobs to 800 people who are here legally.     And was there an attempt within the grand jury to at least list these fellow conspirators, or to mention this gaping hole in our immigration system?     The chances are that Homeland Security [DHS] will not make any effort to deport the 800, but may simply deny citizenship to some of those who apply for it.     Second, there is only the slightest mention that defendants, as employers, were engaged in racial discrimination in their employment practices, hiring virtually nothing but Indians in their schemes.     (OTOH, the defendants were, as earlier migrants often do, grievously exploiting this same group of their countrymen.)..."

the rotten truth behind the push for criminal justice/ sentencing perversion
"Former assistant-US-attorney Andrew McCarthy recently described the sentencing reform bill currently working its way through Congress as 'the worst combination of bad elements coming together'.   McCarthy, currently a senior-fellow at National Review, told SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon that the bill was sponsored by an alliance of groups including the [so-called] 'Black Lives Matter' movement.   However, as bad as the bill is on its face, it's really just a step in a wider plan that the [USA's extreme] left has been working on for five decades: the release of all prisoners.   As bizarre as that sounds, the truth is that it wants to release as many prisoners as possible because for the left, opening the the prison doors door is the key to set the revolution in motion.   If you want to understand the revolutionary left's zeal for prison [sentence reduction], a man named George Jackson is the place you need to start...   By the time he turned 18 years old in the year 1961, Jackson had spent years in California's Youth Authority Corrections Facility for a series of burglaries, assaults, and robberies..."

"...McCarthy [nailing Trump's, Cruz's, Scott Walker's, Rand Paul's, and certainly Marco Rubio's fundamental weakness] settled on: I don't trust him on immigration..."
Sure, we have all been hoping that every one of them would firm up their positions on border and port security, visas, and immigration, that they would refine and improve their positions... and then, unlike congressional Republicans (RINOs) over the last 35 years, stand tough, principled, consistent, and practical rather than abjectly surrendering to every new vile twist of the left. Where has been the considered discussion of ending the visa waiver insanity?   When have they pointed out the need for conscientious, diligent, industrious background investigations of every visa applicant?   When have they advocated or sponsored legislation to explicitly require the DoD to join in armoring up to defend the ports and borders, to turn back invaders, while properly processing asylum and refuge applicants?   98.

Richard A. Viguerie: Trump will have massive election victory if he...
"Viguerie was an active Ted Cruz supporter, but said Trump won the Republican field by acknowledging and responding to the deep frustration Americans have toward Washington.   'How he did it was to ride the anger that a high percent of Americans feel toward the political establishment, Republicans and Democrats.', Viguerie told WND and Radio America.   He said that anger burned especially hot among Republican primary voters.   'There is white-hot anger among conservatives at the grassroots level toward Republican leaders who have lied to them and betrayed them for too many years.', Viguerie said.   'This campaign was an opportunity to send them a message.'   But now that Trump has a clear path to a first-ballot nomination, Viguerie said the first and most important priority is to unite the party, which he says has not truly happened since 1988..."
And he will win re-election if he keeps his word on border security, visas, job markets, and related issues.

Hitlery Rotten Clinton's secret weapon
"...We know that the FBI is getting closer to Hillary Clinton, because Bill Clinton had not addressed her email issues publicly before last weekend.   The defense he offered belies the facts and the law...   His argument is unavailing for two reasons.   The first is that it is untrue.   [E-mail messages, twits, conversations, letters, and artificats] are confidential, secret or top-secret at the time they are created, whether marked or not.   The second reason is that Mrs. Clinton signed an oath on her first full day as secretary of state -- after she received a 2-hour tutorial from 2 FBI agents on the proper care and lawful handling of state secrets.   In that oath, she acknowledged that she had an obligation to recognize and protect state secrets on the basis of the sensitive nature of the information contained in them -- whether they bore classified warnings or markings or not.   State secrets are materials that, if revealed, could harm the national security of the USA...   Perhaps she now recognizes how hard-pressed she will be to claim to the FBI or to a jury that she did not know that satellite photos of a North Korean nuclear facility or transcripts from wiretaps of Yemeni intelligence agents' cellphone calls or the itinerary of the late USA Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens in the days before his murder or true names of American under-cover intelligence agents -- all of which were in her emails — were state secrets.   Perhaps she knows now that this is not a game."

  "Among all the war-horses so highly prized by the Assyrians, none was more sought after than the famous thoroughbreds from the region of Kush, south of Egypt, along the upper Nile.   These Kushite horses were considered the best for chariots and are mentioned in Assyrian texts -- as gifts or purchases -- from the days of Tiglath-pileser iii to Ashurbanipal.   Starting in the late 8th century BCE, when Assyrian commercial centers had been established in Philistia, along the southern coastal plain, the Assyrians obtained their Kushite horses by direct trade with Egypt.   A few decades later Egypt was at least nominally conquered by Assyria, and the great Assyrian kings of the 7th century BCE -- Esarheddon and Ashurbanipal -- obtained their Egyptian horses not through trade but through the imposition of an annual horse tribute.   However, in an era before official Assyrian presence in the cities of Philistia and later in Egypt, the long-distance horse trade between Egypt and Assyria -- so vital for military purposes -- would have been indirect.   Here we may have the link between the Megiddo stables, the Assyrian records, and the Solomonic tradition.   Throughout most of the 8th century BCE, it seems probable that the northern kingdom of Israel gained great prosperity by being the main importer and intermediary between the famed Egyptian -- and especially Kushite or Nubian -- horses and Assyria.   The horses were bred and trained at the stable complex at Megiddo, the largest known anywhere in the ancient Near East, and were then sold to Assyria and possibly to other clients during the reign of Jeroboam ii.   By the time of Manasseh there is no evidence of horse trading in Judah." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2006 _David and Solomon: In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition_ pp164-166

do the governments' adjustments to the global land+ocean surface temperature data always decrease the reported "global warming rate"? Why don't they publish the actual pre-adjustment data, precisely describe the adjustments, the amount of each adjustment, and the post-adjustment data? And why isn't more known of their method of aggregation?
