The reason I have not been posting is that I oppose the registration system. HHR for 20 years never required personal emails be used to register. Yes we had some kooks and trolls but it worked. We had threads with hundreds of posts and dozens of posters. I think it is a profoundly stupid idea if you are trying to get more posters. If you want to limit yourself to the dozen posters who want to register fine, it is not my blog.

jason, what you don’t know is that bunu wasn’t just ‘some kook’ who occasionally posted his antisemitic spam. He was peppering us with countless youtube links and links to bogus web pages, and that was a huge turnoff if we just let it go. Even with bitter, vic and myself deleting his stuff as fast as it came in, we couldn’t keep up. I didn’t want to have to do it, but we had no choice. Either let bunu win, and present this page as an anti-semitic site of kooks, or restore order by requiring a login account.

DW, I saw your comment “jason never thought Biden would be replaced”.
Profoundly dishonest without context, but maybe you thought I would never post again.
My point was always that your idea that the Dems would replace Biden with a “dark horse” was BS because as soon as the dark horse was named, it would lose luster because the Dems have no bench. You pushed this meme for months and it didn’t happen exactly for the reasons I gave even though it was obvious that Biden was cognitively impaired.
Now things do happen. Biden self destructed at the debate beyond any reasonable prediction. Trump was almost killed.
So for you to come out now and say “hey jason was wrong, Biden MIGHT still be replaced” is intellectual dishonesty.
My point that the Dems would not engineer a coup because they had no candidate was absolutely the right take. Your point that the Dems had a white knight (Mark Warner, LOL) that would immediately be the election winner was, and still is, BS.
Without the debate, Biden would have cruised to the nomination.
GFY.

As for me, since June 8, I have been posting on Facebook the 50 chapters of the book I wrote more than 10 years ago and never published or shared about what it was like growing up in my little town in WV. That has involved a great deal of time and effort. I am now working on another bunch of chapters of college shenanigans to perhaps share on Facebook.
All of this has been a good diversion for me from the political scene with positive personal outcomes.
My only drawback is that when the mood strikes to write and I am in a mood to be on a roll and productive and pleased in my writing, my wife enters and decides it is necessary to stop what I am doing and deal with this or that. Fix this or that suddenly broke. let’s go for a drive, you need to get the mailbox post painted, please deal with all the boxes of cereal that you have in the pantry, can you dig me another hole in the yard to plant something else, Hey, a plastic piece of the ice maker in the fridge just fell into the freezer with the ice, etc.
She does not understand how it is with writers, and they need to write when the urge falls upon them and the mental writing juices are flowing.
Things seem to suddenly “break” on a daily basis in this house that is fairly new. I am perplexed and astounded that yesterday my wife, while just walking by, pulled loose a 6-foot section of quarter round from the edge of the floor yesterday.

Regarding the election, as I stated before I cannot vote for a ticket with JD Vance on it.
He is an isolationist first and foremost, and profoundly ignorant of the fact that stability in Europe, Asia and the Middle East is in OUR interest, and the idea that the US is an island with no stake in the rest of the world is profoundly stupid.
He is also a believer in economic isolationism and in Trump’s trade policy based on trade wars and tariffs. I believe this to be harmful to the US economy in the long run.
As I have stated here many times before, the Republican party is now a populist party. It is my view that this the only path it has to survive, as a populist working class party. Amoral Scumbag ridiculed my idea that the 2014 election was a dead cat bounce, but that is what it was. Most R voters, at least for primaries, are primarily isolationists, not conservatives. Trump and Vance are populists first, isolationists second, and conservatives a distant third. Tucker Carlson should have been booed off the stage for being a Putin stooge, but instead he got a standing ovation. Shameful.
I would have voted for Trump because despite his isolationist views, he is pragmatic and can often be talked into doing the right thing. Vance is not pragmatic. He is dogmatic.
Bitter will be saying i support Biden in 3, 2, 1. So be it. I am not a Republican and the party does not own my vote.
In any case, I think it will be much better for the country if Trump wins. But given his age and what happened in Butler I don’t feel comfortable elevating JD Vance to a heartbeat from the Presidency.
Carry on, I will still check in once in awhile to read the comments, but until this site is open to new people and maybe some of the old posters who would like to come back, I am not really interested in posting.

It was totally about Bunu, and if you go back and read the comments, I lamented several times about the fact that it might knock out Phil, who since, thankfully, figured out how to create an account and has rejoined us.
we also pointed out that this decision might not be forever, but we needed a break from the bunu madness. There is only so much time, and I didn’t have time to spend deleting all his garbage so the site wouldn’t look like an anti-semitic paulbot site that worships zero hedge and lew rockwell.
I tried everything I could before the nuclear option. I tried banning all the keywords, but bunu resorted to “rock.well,” for instance, as a workaround. So I banned all the possible combos with periods between the letters of his keywords. He still didn’t stop. And so with great reluctance, we flipped the switch.

Jason, – This was not a Bunu only attack. He obviously passed on to his Pauliac cohorts that he was being banned and they instituted a full on attack. It went way beyond just trying to hijack our logon to this page, as they were able to extract some email addresses, including my own, and launched other attacks. Cutting him off now was necessary, despite your protestation.
I believe this is short term, and I would even suggest taking the filter off for a weekend and seeing if his cohorts return. If not, then we can leave it the way it was. We can always put it back on.

Below is an unexpected positive review of the RNC convention by democrat Doug Schoen:
”As a Democrat, I’m not sure I know how my party will respond in a month or so to the Trump candidacy. For now, it’s enough to say that the challenges it is facing have only grown larger and more substantial after this week after a speech and convention that could only be called an unqualified success. The events and address in Milwaukee will stand up well to whatever attempts the mainstream media make to discredit Trump and his speech. (And they have already begun.)
Some may say that Trump’s speech went on too long on Thursday night. And that may be true. But the American people, unlike political commentators, simply turn the television off, they don’t give the candidate demerits for being long-winded”
