Example please!
The secret service never spoke to Trump regarding his comment on the 2nd amendment.  CNN made up the story and then other MSM outlets picked it up.  It was made up without ANY supporting evidence.  In other words, a lie.

Agreed. The childish dick fascinations get old really fast. 

PoA went from being a good GA forum to a kindergarten run by a high school clique.
It was a great forum for many a year.  I was blessed to meet a lot of people on the forum at fly-ins and always had a great time. I'm not sure when it went to hell but it deteriorated quickly.  Funny how things haven't changed since SZ was shut down.

I left there by choice and have no desire to return, regardless of outlet.  If 6PC is there it's gotta be a train wreck waiting to happen.

At least the old line media doesn't out and out lie.  Spin I can sift through, lies means it is not worth the effort.
Would that be like CNN making up stories out of whole cloth and then a week later admit the story was without merit?

Romney winning handily.

FiveThirtyEight weighs in on the new effort to unskew the polls.
You did read the question correctly.  Thank you.

How did "unskewing" polls work out for Romney in 2012?
What did the polls look like for Romney post "unskewing"?

Why isn't Black Lives Matter down in Louisiana offering the black community assistance with the floods?

Don't those black lives matter as well?
Because it doesn't fit into the racist bastards platform.

But then we would just be setting ourselves up for an even older population which would require much more in the way of long-term care.

If we were to encourage  a riskier life style for everyone, then only the strongest would survive and the gene pool would be improved.  With a stronger gene pool comes a lower risk pool.
Henning?  ;)
Good long term plan which means it will never be implemented in this sound bite world.

Do you have kids in school at the moment? Critical thinking is not absent from the public school system. In fact, my step daughter brought home last night the yearly goals for her gifted class.  Goal #1: Critical Thinking. This is not to say I am terribly pleased with how education works at the moment. I tend to agree with the gentleman in the TED Talk video above. Our schooling is too regimented, is negatively affected by the scourge that is standardized testing, and is suffocating creativity of both the students and the teachers.
We did last year and critical thinking was non-existent.  Obviously this changes school by school and district by district but talking with others, as well as the school board, critical thinking isn't on their radar.

Yeah, but -3.  The wine in grocery stores should help us next year.


I just wish they would stop making it illegal to give my daughter a glass of wine with dinner.  The more you make alcohol "forbidden fruit" the more likely kids will abuse it.  Make it a routine and normal part of social situations, and it's no big deal.  And what I do in my own home is none of the State's business.
Agree.  It will be interesting to see what tonight's Metro Nashville Council vote is on reducing marijuana fines for less than 1/2 ounce in possession. The current bill reduces it to a civil fine of $50.  That's a good start in the right direction as any personal freedom is a positive move.

Sixth is pretty good, I'll take that as we try to move even higher.

Good on the school for posting and the parents for complying.  Critical thinking is almost absent from our public school systems.

Hillary is only being kept in this to secure a Democrat in the White House, to continue the Soros/Obama Fundamental Transformation of America.

My prediction is that following a  Hillary win, she will soon become "debilitated"and Kaine will be sworn in. You heard it here first.

BTW, if I suddenly die with a pillow over my head or am shot dead in a "robbery" where nothing is taken from me, I was killed by Clinton's goons.
Crickets from the MSM on that Clinton (inspired?) hit.
