I am abandoning this blog because the idiots at Tumblr keep messing around with the design

It is beyond annoying. Buncha morons at Tumblr HQ. Visit me at ALTERVISTA and AARON HILL’S NOTEBOOK instead.

Why we still need AM radio

“According to the media tracking firm Nielsen 92% of the U.S. population tunes into terrestrial radio — both AM and FM — more than any other medium. The National Association of Broadcasters points out that nearly 50 million Americans still tune into AM radio. In many rural parts of the nation AM radio is one of the few, if not the only option available to listeners.”

Obama’s Racism

“What set off the quarrel that precipitated the end of the couple’s relationship was Obama’s stubborn refusal to condemn black racism. While acknowledging that Obama’s embrace of a black identity had created some degree of distance between the couple, she insisted that what upset her that day was Obama’s inability to condemn Cokely’s comments. It was not Obama’s blackness that bothered her, but that he would not condemn antisemitism.”

A Non-Pretending Discussion About Barack Obama

THE OLIGARCHS AND THEIR SERVANTS “I doubt that in the long run, Obama’s foreign-policy failures are going to be seen as the most important part of his legacy. I think future historians are going to look at the Obama presidency and see it as the moment when this new oligarchy merged with the Democratic Party and used the capacities of these new technologies and the power of this new class of people, the oligarchs and their servants, to create a new apparatus of social control. How far they can go with it, what the limits are … you see them trying to test it out every week or so.”

“They are prepared to ruin this country and come to the brink of a civil war because they hate Donald Trump.”

Is this controversial? I honestly do not know why Media Matters has this on their site. Because I agree with everything Dennis Prager says.

Desperation Creeps In

“There is only one way to explain this shambles: Every one of these crises traces back to the Democratic Party’s obsession with taking and holding power more or less indefinitely to suit its hubristic, end-of-history ‘narrative’ of righteous liberal triumph.”

The indictments are boosting Trump

“We have plenty of evidence to show that these indictments are doing nothing to send Republican voters away from Trump. Nor are they boosting Biden’s approval rating, which remains the worst at this stage in a presidency since Jimmy Carter. The likelihood that anyone is going to be shifted away from Trump by some new revelation is essentially nil.” “What Biden’s team is calculating, despite private warnings from people like Barack Obama, is that Trump is the least formidable candidate for them to take on next autumn.” (Hillary and her team thought the same.) “We’ve been told time and again by these Biden Democrats that Donald Trump’s threat to the country is existential, that he cannot in any way be allowed back to the White House. Yet with their legal strategy lived out through a partisan justice department and a cheering media horde, they are ensuring Trump gets one large leap toward that goal.”

The latest Trump indictment isn’t just wrong...

It’s reckless.

Trump actually has pretty good odds of beating Biden...

Apparently National Review’s Rich Lowry just figured this out.

Forensic Genetic Genealogy

“If you have, just for an example, a third or fourth cousin relative that’s identified, you can be five, six, seven thousand people away from who your actual suspect is. With that you have to whittle your way down to who your actual suspect name might be.”
