Hannity’s Slam on Megyn Kelly
“They’re both in their own version of a presidential protection program,” Kelly said. She said Clinton makes sure “she is not in a place where she feels uncomfortable or anything unexpected could come at her, which is why she sat for a half an hour with Mary J. Blige, the singer, which is why she did Entertainment Tonight this evening.”
But, Kelly didn’t stop there. “And Donald Trump, with all due respect to my friend at 10 o’clock, will go on Hannity, and pretty much only Hannity, and will not venture out to the unsafe spaces these days, which doesn’t exactly extend the tent.”
Note that she criticized both candidates there.
Well. It’s OK to criticize Hillary Clinton, but criticizing the great Donald J. Trump for the same thing was too much for one Sean Hannity, who ran to his computer to drop this turd:
@megynkelly u should be mad at @HillaryClinton Clearly you support her. And @realDonaldTrump did talk to u. https://t.co/vsQiNMgHut
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) October 6, 2016
This is a perfect metaphor for this general election. We have two shitty candidates running, and whenever someone criticizes both of them, an idiot Trump supporter runs up to scream OH SO YOU LOVE YOU SOME HILLARY THEN.
The country has gone insane.
No Patterico, the country’s been insane you’re just beginning to notice. Finally. When we have judges demanding men in dresses have access to girls rest rooms we are officially insane. When the president brings in “refugees” who are dogmatically dedicated to our death, that’s insane. We are now in a dispute over which nut will be the Head Nut.

I had a student a couple of years ago—great young woman, smart and kind. She told me how much she admired HRC. I asked her what specifically made her admire HRC?
She sputtered for a while.
She admired HRC because there was a constant drumbeat from the MSM and late night television that she ought to…if she was a good person.
Same sort of thing takes place on the other side of the aisle.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/6/2016 @ 8:04 amGreetings:
“The country has gone insane.” As intended.
If the essence of Propaganda is repetition, I would worry more about the near incessant drumbeat of Progressive propaganda inserted into pretty much every form of media. The unchallengeable disinformation goes on and on. Last Sunday, for instance, I mistakenly gave the CBS program “Elementary” another shot and they seemed to be doing pretty well until near the end when the Sherlock character, who supposedly is a crime fighter, decides to express the writer’s opinion of the supposed “over-incarceration rate” in today’s America without any mention of the muti-decade crime rate declines which the Obama administration now intends to reverse.
11B40 (6abb5c) — 10/6/2016 @ 8:04 am6. Yes, Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump is up about 2 points since then. Hillary is leading, someties by considerable margins, in 4 out of the 5 generally recognized swing states. All of them except Ohio.
Does 538 have Trump doing better in Pennsylvania than in Ohio? How can it more likely to be the tipping point state than Ohio. Maybe it is that Ohio may be more likely than the average state to go for Trump, so if Trump gets a bare plurality of the popular vote, he would have to carry Pennsylvania maybe to do so.
Sammy Finkelman (6e331b) — 10/6/2016 @ 8:05 am“over-incarceration” is one of those misleading statistics that nobody seems to have given a powerful rebuttal to.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/6/2016 @ 8:11 amThe odds of a nuclear war are probably no more than about 2% or 3% with Trump as president, and maybe something like 1% with Hillary. (I am not sure of these exact percentages, and maybe they’re too low. It’s hard to put a number on a black swan event.)
But I think Vladimir Putin is going to try to create the impression, come November, that the odds are much higher with Hillary. He’s going to try to escalate the carnage in Syria and provoke an intervention in Syria by President Obama.
If he can’t do that, get Obama to advocate for everyone to accept more Syrian refugees.
The third alternative he will offer President Obama is tolerance and even assistance to Russian war crimes.
Sammy Finkelman (6e331b) — 10/6/2016 @ 8:14 amBoth candidates are questionable to say the least. Bottom line, more babies[probably millions] will be killed under an HRC administration. The argument “I personally don’t believe in abortion but ” does not fly.We have one soul.
ernest duke (c9dc63) — 10/6/2016 @ 8:16 amThere are questions about Hillary’s soul.
On the main topic, I will give Hannity a pass on this. Ms. Kelly was after all pointing out Hannity is a shill/loyal mouthpiece of Trump. He was bound to react. I suppose he realizes that denying he is a shill for Trump would strain the credulity of all but the most loyal Trumpist.

I too enjoy Elementary (particularly Lucy Liu) and they do that often. They’ve commented about guns, racism, sexism and many other topics all from the leftist view. Unfortunately too many otherwise good shows have been ruined for me because of the leftist desire to turn every event into an opportunity to advance their narrative with propaganda. Like nobody notices because if you’re not a leftist you must be stupid. Deplorable in Killary’s words.

And that’s just a local version of the presidential race: we have to elect Donald Trump, because he isn’t Hillary Clinton, or we have to elect Hillary Clinton, because she isn’t Donald Trump.

Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 10/6/2016 @ 10:31 amBut Hannity was shilling for Trump when Rubio, Walker, Cruz, Jindal, and Fiorina were available.
DRJ, Rev Hoagie has said he he does not like Trump, but will vote for him to keep Hillary away from the WH. He understands this is the choice of the lesser of two demons.
When it comes to that, I will probably vote for Trump, even though my opinion of him is about the same as yours. I’ve simply decided that a Trump appointed Executive branch will be better than a Hillary. But I am under no illusions that a Trump presidency will not result in bigger government, more authoritarianism, and a weaker US in foreign affairs. Not to mention possible economic disaster.

Following the Hoboken train crash, both CNN and Fox were just non-stop coverage, even when there was nothing new to add, with no new information anticipated. Yes, the story was important, but it wasn’t the only story of the day. Other than that, CNN has become a total cheerleader for Hillary Clinton, while Fox remains a committed campaign arm of Donald Trump’s. The only decent daytime coverage was CNBC.

My grandfather’s planning skills, when he was very old, may or may not have been that good, but the planning he had done before that was excellent, and as a result he had little to worry about in his last years.

like MH370, the missing airplane?
I did read a few things, both now and earlier. Tell me if they are new to you.
1. This almost was missed in the coverage, but accounts of passengers indicate that the train actually sped up when it got to or into the station. This is the most important fact about the crash.
2. There were previous accidents at the station, in 1985 and 2000 and (maybe also 2011? No, 2011 was a PATH train on different tracks)
3. This “positive train control” that they are talking about is a too big, over the top government program. There are other much cheaper things that could be installed much faster.
4. Every alternative is being postponed because they don’t want to do the work twice, and as for PTC, they seem to be doing this very methodically, rather than installing it at dangerous points like curves, and maybe where the tracks end – which is actually left for last. (and I am not sure if they prioritized railroad crossings – I think there’s a different program for that – to stop the cars and not the trains.)
5. It’s being installed in the order it is probably because the overall cost will be somewhat higher if they do things in order of importance. (my opinion)
6. They also didn’t install a cheaper and old something at the station because it would make operations very bad and maybe make the station unfunctional (false alarms? Stop trains too much? This was not further explained in the article which I think was in the New York Times. I can’t find the article – not enough key words maybe.)
7. We’re told the engineer has no memory of the crash – although he was not badly injured, and that the first black box, permanently installed on the train in 1995, did not work, and they had all thsi diofficultly supposedly getting the second black box.
I passed through that station a few times in 1985/86 from the PATH train to New Jersey transit. It was one way to get to Upper Montclair, New Jersey, where I took some tests. I tried several ways.
The PATH tracks and the New Jersey Transit tracks and station are quite separate, but not too far apart.

Kishnevi (1a529d) — 10/6/2016 @ 11:50 amBTW, I saw Lehigh Valley Hospital from the interstate in May, when I took that trip to the Shenandoah. Looked impressive.
According to both Donald Trump and Sean Hannity (if you think about it) in the winter of 2002-2003, Sean Hannity wanted Donald Trump to enthusiastically back the Iraq war on his show, but he wouldn’t agree to do so, and so he didn’t interview him at least about Iraq. Trump says they argued (on the telephone presumably) quite a bit.
So he maybe hasn’t always been pro-Trump. He may not even be now. He’s anti-Democrat.
Trump’s actual position in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war seems to have been that you don’t place an army somewhere and just keep it there, and you couldn’t just walk away because now Saddam had been made more dangerous, but maybe the sanctions could make him comply with the disarmament provisions of the 1991 Gulf War, and that that was his hope.
And if he’d been in Congress, he’d have voted to authorize the war. He might not have endorsed having a confrontation but he was never asked about that.

The New Yorker tells the story of how Obama gave up the fight to halt the rise of the oceans and how he did not believe in it, and was not willing to work for it and fight for it:

Is there any evidence Hannity put an embargo on other candidates?
As I recall, he offered Cruz an hour and got the old “scheduling conflict.”
It’s not like super debater Ted Cruz wouldn’t run over Hannity, right?
Pinandpuller (e2e35f) — 10/6/2016 @ 5:22 pmSuper Freakonomics tells of a simpler way to fight hurricanes – which would actually work:
http://freakonomics.com/2012/11/06/another-look-at-an-unorthodox-hurricane-prevention-idea/
There are some other ideas.
There are some objections to this – there might be some unanticipated consequences of this geo-engineering.
But limiting the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is also geo-engineering!
I think if geo-engineering causes problems, we could fiddle around a little bit more.

The dems aren’t the only ones who won’t let a crisis go to waste.
Hurricane Matthew is going to be Trump’s big GOTV.
Hillary may think it’s Palm Sunday but one frond would high center her.

I don’t know, man, Barack sure did thump his chest a lot about how he was going to make the waters recede and heal the planet. But … “He didn’t heal that!” (LOL)
People die in hurricanes. Others have their homes and livelihoods wiped out.
Why would Barack make such promises if he knew he couldn’t follow thru on them?
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 10/6/2016 @ 5:59 pmMaybe he thinks Hurricane Matthew is merely part of the JV team of hurricanes.
because he was thought to have magical power, in truth he was alinsky’s sorcerer’s apprentice,@ I came up with that notion,

Could you try to lower the volume of comments a bit? Over the past 2-3 days there have been dozens and it tends to drown other people out a little. I’m not saying don’t comment, but just asking if you could try to be a little more surgical about the points you make.

narciso (d1f714) — 10/6/2016 @ 6:19 pmnarciso, I am watching Chicago Med and they wheeled an illegal into the ER sick as a dog. They didn’t know what was causing it. So the “doctor” said well with global warming and immigration we don’t know what diseases are being brought in. Global warming is now responsible for sickness in America. I guess we should be happy they at least mentioned the fact he came from a third world craphole. They don’t even have a person who speaks this guys language. Where is he from, Mars?

narciso (d1f714) — 10/6/2016 @ 6:31 pmChicago just had a doctor find a prostate in his female patient. He looks puzzled until in a deluge of tears she blurts out “I’m a transgendered woman”. He nods compassionately. I would have said “Hey idiot, I’m a doctor trying to save your life can you please tell me the truth? And BTW, the prostate says you’re a male with a bunch of fake woman parts slapped on.”

Pinandpuller (e9530b) — 10/7/2016 @ 12:36 amKelly drawing a supremely false equivalence betrays her bias.
She is all about becoming the next Baba Wawa. The only way that happens is if she is careful to not offend the power and winning side. This cycle, that is HRC.
Pence destroyed Kaine in the debate and Kelly bent herself into a pretzel trying to minimize the impact of any VP debate, after having spent an hour building it up beforehand. Often, she referred to each candidate having interrupted the other. No fair assessment could indicate, again, such an equivalence.
Kelly’s target audience is the brothers’ Murdoch, who themselves, are beholden to the massive equity in their company held by those who run the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. never forget, nor doubt, this.
