I’d never heard of this one, but it’s rather interesting…
The first car directly marketed to women…
It was a special order, based on the Dodge Royal, and yes it was a real car!
It was marketed in 1955 and 56, based on results from the 1954 car show circuit car called La Comtessa. Less than 2500 were made over the two year (55-56) run.
No Comment, FEC Won’t Say If They’re Allowing CLINTON TO WEAR AN EARPIECE During Debate, from HERE.
Well, now we ‘seem’ to have that answer…
The only question is, wired or wireless…
Looks like they both had wireless mics in addition to the lectern mics… Interesting… Still a question about a possible earpiece.
Also interesting, online snap polling right after the debate shows Trump the winner in most cases HERE and HERE. However, the MSM, primarily led by CNN and the pundits are claiming that Clinton won by a mile…
Seems to be a ‘slight’ disconnect between the ‘people’ and the talking heads…
All I can say about last night is that is two hours of my life I’ll never get back…
I’d call it a draw to a slight win for Hillary.
On the bright side, nobody shot the TV! 🙂
It will be interesting to read the papers this morning and see who spins what in which direction…
Apparently there is a big hurrah over making sure Trump gets fact checked…
But will the same apply to Hillary?
And more to the point, WHO is going to fact check the fact checkers???
The bias in the MSM has pretty much proved the so called fact checkers lean hard left…
Did or both sides or any side get advanced copies of the questions?
Will Hillary or Trump be wearing an earpiece? Will they be checked for one? If one is found, who will be on the other end of it?
What’s the best guess on the level of cheat? 5%? 6%?
What if Trump wins the debate? Or he starts getting a big lead in the polls?
Will he ‘suddenly’ have an ‘event’ that will end his run? At this point, as desperate as the Dems are, I wouldn’t be surprised…
I’m bringing the popcorn, either way it will be interesting to watch.
The military rank and file has come out for Johnson and Trump in an almost equal split, Hillary came in a distant third. Watch for the military votes to be ‘delayed’ again this year, especially in Florida…
The other question is what ‘else’ is going to pop up in the news to take the spotlight off the candidates? Last week proved interesting, with Charlotte pretty much wiping out any coverage of either candidate. Hillary was pretty much off the trail with surrogates out, but Trump wasn’t…
John Shaw was inspired by the work of artists such as William S. Phillips, R.G. Smith and Robert Taylor, he volunteered to create artwork promoting various WWII aviation events in the area.
When a local Military Museum located at a former WWII Primary Trainer base near Fresno, CA planned to host the legendary Doolittle Tokyo Raiders in 1994, John volunteered to create what was to become his first major WWII aviation painting to honor them and raise funds for the museum. The result was The Hornet’s Nest, which was met with warm acclaim by not only the Raiders themselves, but also the aviation art world. Following this print release, the enjoyment and success of working with these legendary vets served as motivation to begin publishing more military and aviation scenes to help preserve history…thus was born Liberty Studios, link HERE.
Hillary once again conflates terrorism and gun ownership…
“But I’m looking at violence broadly,” Clinton added. “It’s also why I’ve advocated gun-safety reform, like comprehensive background checks, closing the gun-show loophole, closing the online loophole — because, you know, it’s not only terrorists we need to be worried about.
Read the entire article HERE, at the Washington Examiner.
And yet ‘another’ failure of the background check to stop a criminal from getting a gun…
New York bombing suspect Ahmad Rahami passed a background check to acquire the handgun he used to shoot two police officers as they closed in on him September 19.
The gun–a Glock 9mm–was acquired from a retailer in Salem, Virginia, in July.
Full article HERE, from Breitbart.
But Everymom, etc. keep calling for MORE background checks…
The MSM apparently thinks IT should be kowtowed to like the NYT, HERE… Really???
A number of the talking heads are incensed, yes, incensed that Charlotte PD refuses to release the videos of the shooting in Charlotte. Some are even accusing CPD of ‘hiding things’ by not releasing the videos, saying the ‘people have a right to know’…
Who the hell died and made them God?
Just because you have a 24 hour news cycle, doesn’t mean people have to violate the law just to curry YOUR favor. So what if the family released a video that has some ‘suspicious’ language on it (the “Don’t you do it” comment repeated more than once).
To the NYT and others… Screw you. You aren’t the kings of the world. There are policies and procedures that have to be followed. Your ‘right’ to the video doesn’t trump the rights of others to a fair investigation and not compromising the jury pool…
Now where did I put the GOOD BP meds…
After three days of watching the rioting going on in Charlotte, I’m saddened, frustrated and really sick of the TV talking heads… BLUF, if the perp had obeyed the police commands, he’d be alive today. Period. End of subject.
But nobody is willing to step up and say that publically, other than those nasty right wingers…
The pandering to the ‘family’ and their story line (probably false) did nothing to reduce the rioting, if nothing else, it actually accelerated it. The soft pedaling it as a ‘peaceful’ protest pretty much went out the window the first night with the looting of vehicles and stores (big screen TVs and Ipads), and then the looting of a CVS and damage to a number of businesses including at least one Hyatt hotel.
The Chief of Police has not released any video of the crime, sighting ongoing investigation, but apparently did show the family the video sometime yesterday. The MSM is calling for the Chief to be prosecuted for NOT releasing the video to them… Really???
There is also still footage showing a gun lying on the ground in proximity to the body.
But the family claims it’s a book… Funniest looking book ‘I’ have ever seen.
The other frustration is the apologists getting up there and blaming the police for ALL the deaths of blacks, but when any of them are asked, and it was interesting to note that most of them were, they couldn’t name a SINGLE black shot in Chicago, Baltimore, Philly, Atlanta, or NYC. So ethnocentric foot stomping and finger pointing is all good for the left.
When asked by one commentator yesterday if he thought the police woke up every day wanting to kill someone, the talking head himmed and hawed before finally saying no, but in the next breath said it’s the ‘rogue’ police departments like Chicago and Baltimore that are to blame. When confronted with the fact that the police chiefs were black, many of the city council were black, and they were democratic strongholds, he STILL blamed the police rather than saying people were responsible for their own actions.
Peter put up a good post HERE, on what to do if you’re caught up in a situation like Charlotte.
I can’t help but wonder what would happen if this was tried in a place where people were fed up and were armed…
This is from the LA riots…
None of these Koreans were ever prosecuted, to the best of my knowledge. There were Koreans who defended their stores with AR-15s and shotguns, their stores weren’t looted or burned.
What if one or more people with suppressed .22 rifles and good scopes were up 2-3 floors with a good view of the rioting and started taking out the leaders. One wonders how quickly those ‘professional protesters’ nee rioters would decide they needed to be somewhere else?
That couldn’t be blamed on the cops, and I doubt they’d ever manage to find the shooters, if they even realized it was happening. And before you say a .22 wouldn’t work, think about what the Israelis have done over the years with .22s
I find it interesting that this has blown up like it has, taking ALL the MSM away from Hillary… Strange…
Sigh- Kicking the soapbox back in the corner now…
YMMV, Do not try this at home, INAL, etc…
Some old school Chevy ads… 1962, the sporty version!
I’m trying to find the Ford and Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth versions too…
