  1. Who are "you guys"? I do not know much about Kanye, so I have no opinion on him.
  2. If you are referring to "blexit", it is the first I heard of it, hence the question mark.
  3. Concealed carry permit...and a working firearm.
  4. Blexit? https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-28/kanye-west-designs-blexit-apparel-urging-black-people-leave-democratic-party
  5. They have had a socialist government for 19 years. Prior to that they were the richest country in South America. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-36319877
  6. Health care crisis "Worse off than war zone." http://www.irinnews.org/news-feature/2018/10/25/worse-war-zone-inside-venezuela-s-healthcare-crisis
  7. I just poured an eagle rare. Cheers!
  8. I have not seen any data on the New SAT. Have they published anything? Let's start at the beginning...there are 2 possible causes of the racial test score gap; environmental causes, and biological ones. Biology is pretty easy, how good a brain did you inherit from your parents. Environmental ones are very messy and include, but are not limited to, home, neighborhood, culture, quality of education, and test bias. These causes are not mutually exclusive. I think some of the gap can be explained by pretty much everything in my list. I think testing bias is somewhere between small and negligible.
  9. https://nypost.com/2018/10/17/harvards-gatekeeper-reveals-sat-cutoff-scores-based-on-race/?utm_campaign=iosapp&utm_source=facebook_app&fbclid=IwAR1coamvzhhgyuy6qOtE-bYMTX3Hgt0UG0roZHbxJm_Z5bAhj-pNGfVZwAE Seems like discrimination to me.
  10. Kind of depends on how many people agree with him.
  11. The evidence for this is very weak. The SAT is a good predictive test. It actually slightly over predicts black academic performance. If it was biased it would under predict performance.
  12. Yes, a blog I read (instapundit) has had several links to stories about this during the last couple of months.
  13. Article about the next CBA. https://www.spectorshockey.net/2018/09/the-two-biggest-potential-issues-in-the-next-nhl-cba-standoff/
  14. Pope Francis takes action!
  15. Trade talks to resume next week: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/31/trade-talks-with-canada-will-restart-next-week-as-trump-seeks-a-deal-in-90-days.html I think that new trade deals are the end game on the tariff issue.
  16. Mr. Mercedes, season 2, directv, audience channel. 8/22/18.
  17. Power ranking
  18. Judge allows release of printed 3D gun blueprints
  19. Part of the gerrymandering is "natural". Big cities tend to be Democratic, rural areas Republican. New York City is heavily Democratic and has 9 million people. That is 12 congressional districts right there. Other big cities are similar.
  20. https://lidblog.com/memes-explain-ruissiagate/ I found this amusing. YMMV.
  21. Can unions be sued for Janus Claims? http://reason.com/volokh/2018/07/19/can-unions-be-sued-for-janus-claims
