I thought structural engineers and building demolition experts may just qualify as experts wrgt commenting on the collapse of the WTC buildings? Or do you know better in your capacity as a dowser?

I would have thought you know better.

If they are commenting in a magazine, blog or some other non-peer reviewed source of commentary there is a very good reason for that! Usually money, fame or lunacy!

By the way, Christopher Monckton is a Lord, or so he claims! :o

Cookie, Can I recommend a podcast: Left, Right & Center

Very balanced take on US politics, both left and right, avoids the hysterical/lunatic fringe.

It must be good as apparently they got referenced on a recent episode of The Simpsons.

Thanks Bear, I'll have a look at that.

Besides the political Left, Right & Center there are a whole bunch of NPR Podcasts worth listening to;

Here's The Thing (Alec Baldwin, surprisingly good!)
Intelligence Squared US
Invisibilia
Note to Self
Radiolab
Radiolab Presents: More Perfect (US Supreme Court stories.)

LOL. The hack was internal, the pedo was the successful target of a phishing scam, who simply failed to implement  a 2 step authentication.
Its funny how his name doesn't get mentioned anymore, its just simply "the russians influenced the outcome of election" in globo
60+ million voters were influenced by what? a discovery that former secretary of state had a private server whereby classified information was being stored and CF "business" was being discussed?
Perhaps the voters may have decided  this and many other things, that she wasn't trustworthy? Perhaps it could be argued that the only colluding and influence applied to the general election, was from the corrupted media and their misrepresented 20 and 30+ point margins in polls? Perhaps it could be argued that they inadvertently successfully convinced dems to stay home and relax as margins were so great they were not needed?
The only crime i can see, is media colluded with the DNC to influence the outcome the election and it failed - spectacularly.
The baying dogs found nothing. If there was something, it would be on the table. The only thing on the table are FISA "hacking' warrants that give rise to more questions, as to why they were issued, and kept using them, more than what they found.
If you believe and think the last 3 sitting presidents were clean and honest and acted only in the best interests of the american people, I have some land to sell you.

LOL BTW  if you find these russian hackers, tell em the scoreboard locations of our games. We can use all the help we can get.

How about this dumb *#^~ ...

Trump Voter Shocked To Find That Her Meals On Wheels Could Be Cut, HuffPost, 18/3/17.

Linda Preast has used a wheelchair since she had a stroke two years ago and now relies on Meals on Wheels, a service that provides food to millions of people with disabilities and the elderly. The 56-year-old Georgia resident never envisioned when she voted for President Donald Trump that he’d propose slashing funding for the programs.

“Are you surprised?” CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller asked Preast at her home in Jones County Saturday.

“Yeah,” Preast said. “Because he was told ― I was under the influence that he was going to help us.”

She really thought a billionaire who hates losers was going to look after those who are reliant on welfare?  The stupidity of some people is amazing.

I could understand poor people hoping that Trump will make the economy improve and bring back jobs to the US and that they will benefit from that.  I don't think that's going to happen, but at least there's some method to their madness.  But this woman is disabled and she's not going to get a job even if the economy improves. 

More likely she liked Trump because he was going to put the blacks back in their place, deport Latinos, and bully gays like they did in the good ol' days.  If life has screwed you over, it's nice to see other people being screwed over too. But it's backfired badly on her and those of her ilk.

I find it hard to believe people are so stupid, but they really are! :o

Good to see Trump models himself on totallitarians from both the left and the right  8)

Zeig Heil, Comrade Trump!

The Manchurian Candidate should be re-titled "The Siberian Candidate"  ;D

If only Trump had persuaded the Pentagon to provide tanks for his Inauguration Parade.  The photos of that would have been very useful now.  He's the West's version of Kim Jong-Un.

Quite similar hair styles! ;D

How stupid people vote, Part II ...

She Voted For Trump. Now, Her Husband Is Being Deported, Huff Post.  She thought only bad hombres were at risk  :

I wonder how many drug addicts voted for Duterte in the Phillipines ...
