President Trump plans to sign an executive order that would remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S. soil, he said yesterday in an exclusive interview for "Axios on HBO," a new four-part documentary news series debuting on HBO this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT. Let that sink in for a moment. #DonaldTrump and his conservative allies are going to try and overturn a Constitutional Amendment via Executive Order. If the #GOP allows this to go unchallenged then the grand liberal experiment known as Democracy has failed and Donald Trump's will have the authority to override any and all portions of our Constitution. #TrumpNation https://www.axios.com/trump-birthright-citizenship-executive-order-0cf4285a-16c6-48f2-a933-bd71fd72ea82.html

Just in time for my homelessness. Trying to figure out how to block out the windows in my truck so no one can see through them. The big side windows in the cargo area are the ones I'm most concerned about. Otherwise, I have my sleeping area made up and it may actually be somewhat comfortable. I have my 10° sleeping bag and my comforter so that shouldn't be too bad. Now to find a "safe" place to park. A friend had a great idea for when the weather gets really bad. He suggested paying for underground parking in an underground lot. The temperature, while cold, will be more even and I'd be out of the wind and snow. I was looking for a parking garage but didn't even think about an underground one. There isn't enough light to take a picture of my setup, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Far-Right extremism and anti-Semitism coming from a Conservative political ad agency? One must wonder if the ad agency is funded by Putin's interests. The page has repeatedly linked to a site called __learnaboutgillum.com_ , which was registered only two days before the Facebook page was launched. The site attacks the candidate on multiple issues, calling him a socialist who “is currently under a cloud of FBI investigation.”​ According to the analytic tool Trendolizer, the site shares an IP address with Harris Media, a Republican ad agency based in Texas. As reported by BuzzFeed, Harris was instrumental in developing digital strategies for several high-profile Republican campaigns, including Ted Cruz’s 2012 Senate campaign and Mitch McConnell’s 2014 Senate campaign, before moving on to promote far-right extremism in Europe._ https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/10/23/Facebook-page-running-anti-Semitic-ads-for-Florida-gubernatorial-race-has-links-to-major-G/221786

I see these every day and, yes, I've made a few. Sometimes I knowing make them wondering if anyone will catch the fallacy and sometimes I don't. But what really strikes me is when i call other people out of their false arguments and they go ever deeper into them. This can happen with both sides of of the Political spectrum as well as with nearly every social issue that makes the news. I'm not saying you can't be right while making a logical fallacy, but if you're going to put your opinion out there you need to try to be as reasonable and objective as possible. And be able to take the criticism. I'm constantly surprised at how many people cry "troll" when all the other person is doing is breaking down their logical fallacies. https://www.boredpanda.com/bad-argument-false-fallacies-dummies/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter

So, about that "doom and gloom" ... The authors behind an earlier study predicting a negative impact have all-but recanted their initial conclusions. However, the authors still seem perplexed about why they went awry in the first place.... The increase was an "economic death wish" that was going to tank the expansion and kill jobs, according to the sages at conservative think tanks... Despite their dire forecasts, not only were new restaurants not closing, they were in fact opening; employment in food services and drinking establishments has soared... Turns out, giving more money to people, not 2%ers, really does do an economy good. https://m.slashdot.org/story/347667

Alright, you Saturday-night owls, I need some technical assistance: I'm having a weird problem on my Android. As some of you know, I recently purchased a new phone but the problem persists. Here's the story: My three year old Android's microphone stopped working while making calls. That is to say, while the phone was in phone mode. If I switched to speaker it worked fine, as well as by audio recording app which I always used in a speakerphone mode. But during calls? Nothing. I just thought it was because the phone was old. The power button had already stopped working and it was seriously dragging some butt as it struggled to keep up with modern apps. But, with this new phone, which I've only had since Wednesday, I'm having the same problem. I'm thinking it's an app or setting somewhere as I imported all apps and settings from cloud and so have all, or at least most, of the same apps with the same settings. It doesn't seem to have the same problem when I...

If you haven't heard, Google is shuttering the quaisi-popular service: Google+. They gave a flimsy excuse and a deadline for everyone to get off-board and go find a new online home. Most people, like myself, have been trying out other options: MeWe , Cake.co , Diaspora/Pluspora , Minds as well as others. I thought I might spend more time Blogger'ing and so attempted a few posts from the Blogger app as the real appeal to G+, aside from the social aspect, was the easy by which one could post on the go. So, I turned to the Blogger app, which hasn't seen any developer love from Google since 2016. That's two years for those of you paying attention to such things. Here's what I've learned: The Blogger app needs some developer love. One cannot post pictures using the Blogger app. Either from the cloud (Photos) or from the Android. In fact, even attempting to do so will crash the app for some ungodly reason and prevent the draft post from saving to Blogger. Dr...

A great read on how the brain works and, more importantly, how it doesn't. This is why, as Sir Frederic Bartlett demonstrated in his book Remembering(1932), no two people will repeat a story they have heard the same way and why, over time, their recitations of the story will diverge more and more. No ‘copy’ of the story is ever made; rather, each individual, upon hearing the story, changes to some extent – enough so that when asked about the story later (in some cases, days, months or even years after Bartlett first read them the story) – they can re-experience hearing the story to some extent, although not very well (see the first drawing of the dollar bill, above).

Swung by Costco to get some moving bins, gas and a bite to eat. As I'm getting gas i see this younger guy (college aged?) going through the garbage looking for food. So, I ask him, "Hey man, are you hungry?" "Yes," he says. "Give me a minute to finish getting gas and I'll take you into the store to get a bite to eat." "Cool, thanks," he says. I tell him to wait by the front door. I finish getting my gas and head up to the doors. He's not there. Thinking Costco sent him packing (he smells horrible), I look around. Lo' and behold! he's at the deli counter ordering his own food. I walk up to him, "Hey man, I said I'd buy.' "It's okay," he said. "Thank you for the offer."

One political scientist claims what we've all known for a couple of years now, #DonaldTrump supporters, #TrumpNation, are racists. Or at least terrified of losing their perceived privilege. Meanwhile, a few things did correlate with support for Trump: a voter’s desire for their group to be dominant, as well as how much they disagreed with Clinton’s views on trade and China. Trump supporters were also more likely than Clinton voters to feel that “the American way of life is threatened,” and that high-status groups, like men, Christians, and whites, are discriminated against.

At least my new cell phone arrived. It's brand new, but a year old model, making it new to me. A OnePlus 5T. Why the 5T , you ask? Because it still has a headphone jack and I need one to connect my truck's radio to my phone. My radio is too old for Bluetooth.

How many people does it take to have an agreement?

A church is now using the RFRA to discriminate against other religions. And they're asking the #DonaldTrump administration to "OK" this behavior going forward. “I’ve never felt that sort of discrimination before,” she said. “Once they get [the children] in one of their group homes, they don’t let non-Christian Protestants mentor them, foster them, or anything.” Lesser couldn’t recall the name of the Miracle Hill representative, but White confirmed the exchange to The Intercept, saying that they were explaining Miracle Hill’s policy, and that his agency, FGI, does not itself discriminate. Miracle Hill did not respond to a request for comment.

Originally shared by Isaac Kuo Say no thanks to MeWe I do not understand the enthusiasm with which many users being abandoned by a "good" corporation's closed garden are running toward a newbie startup corporation's closed garden. Oh sure - a startup promises everything and seems very responsive to the customers. They all do. They're not being funded by the customers, they're being funded by VC cash. They try to lock you in while they can, so they can extract value from you later. This is what always happens, because sooner or later the VC's always want their money back and then some (a LOT some). And you know what? MeWe is going to fail. I mean...there's a small chance it won't, but most startups fail. From the VC's perspective, that's just the price of doing business. Most investments fail, but you get a big payoff from the one that doesn't. That's cool for the VC's, but...

I am an American, a combat veteran and a gun owner. I also tend to side on the liberal side of issues, voting for Democrats more often than not. Hell, I even worked on Obama's campaign. In the USA gun ownership is a right, unlike driving which is a privilege. The Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights, makes is clear what our rights are: free speech, free press, not to be bothered by religions, due process, warrants, etc. And of course, the NRA's favorite Amendment, the Second - a right to bear arms.  What the Constitution does not say is what constitutes _arms_. For the NRA and other gun nuts, it means pretty much anything they can get their hands on, to include ICBMs, M1A1s and gatling guns. To people who have actually read the Constitution - or the so-called, Constitutional purists - _arms_ could mean bows and arrows, swords, knives, or a trebuchet. But this isn't a post about gun owning philosophy, this is a post about the research into the claims of defens...

However, with the advent of the digital age and the relative inexpensive method of digital manipulation we have at our disposal, I think many photographers have taken to compensating their lack of camera skill/knowledge with being adept photoshop users. A crutch. However, I do agree that many photographers took on HDR as a gimmick. They saw how popular HDR processed images were and in order to stay in the game, took on that method for their own work. I can't fault anyone for that as many business that plans to stay relevant has to adapt to current market trends, or find their niche. And , I also agree, HDR does have it's place and that one and only place, in my opinion, is when trying to capture those ranges that camera sensors just ...

I've often worried at the repercussions we might see from the actions of the likes of McConnell, #DonaldTrump and others who seem to believe the rules and norms do not apply to them. What precedent are they setting and what affects will those precedents have on future iterations of our government? But, and this is very important, that won’t be McConnell’s sole or even his most important legacy. Indeed, when history is written on McConnell’s tenure as Republican leader, there will be a more profound and unsettling conclusion: McConnell broke the Senate and hurt the country, and the sad fact is that he couldn’t care less. #TrumpNation https://www.thedailybeast.com/mitch-mcconnell-is-going-to-kill-the-united-states-senate

We knew Google was keeping G+ around for GSuite customers, which mean's it's not really dead , just mortally wounded. It also means Google could change it's mind about the closure, but we'll have to see about that as time moves on. https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/11/google-for-g-suite-lives-on-and-gets-new-features/

But will anyone see it? Originally shared by Joseph Milan My new goal is to post the very last post on Google+

A great story about #DonaldTrump and a sneak peak behind the curtain of #TrumpNation. “So,” Trump went on, “it would be great to have an accurately written story, because we do have — when you walk in here, I think you see, if you read something, it’s totally different than the fact.” Originally shared by Chris Kim A What a great story! New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi was summoned out of the blue to meet with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. He began talking and talking and then he talked some more. It is a stream of conscience that says everything about where we are today. https://www.newsandguts.com/link/ny-mag-private-oval-office-press-conference-trump-pence-pompeo-kelly/

The FBI Director, Steven Wray, admits his agency was limited by they White House in what they could investigate and how much they could investigate during the sham Kavanaugh investigation. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/10/fbi-kavanaugh-background-investigation-was-limited-and-standard.html

I don't plan on leaving the Ploos until they pry it from my cold dead hands, but in the meantime: https://pluspora.com/people/d3c6dfd09e580136459c005056268def I'm also on Twitter (not good for conversations), LinkedIN, (not good for personal), Instagram (not good for non-images) and Facebook (not good for anything). https://pluspora.com/people/d3c6dfd09e580136459c005056268def

Google won't let me share from the "Rediscover This Day" feature in #GooglePhotos so I'm sharing this the ol'fashioned way. This is Rufus, five years ago this week at what I can only assume is post-dog park nap where he decided to get some sleep in my bed. He's not dirty so I question the whole dog park thing ...

What the flock? Google finally has its excuse to shutdown the Ploos! Noooo! https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/08/google-plus-security-breach-wall-street-journal

I agree with nearly every statement in this piece. In fact, with much smaller words, I came to be conclusion years ago (during the GWB admin). When talking to an opposing viewpoint it's best to use their own terms - frame your idea in their words - to have them take your position seriously. The foundation to any discussion resulting in a consensus of ideological viewpoints is always in the common understanding of the concepts being discussed in the simplest forms. I've even tried this here and other social media outlets, but usually end up with people ranting back at me or worse, blocking me. It's why I tend to start many interactions with questions or laying a base of acceptable facts and working from there. But, as I previously stated, zealots opinionated people aren't interested in the discussion but rather in pushing their own beliefs on others. Which is not the goal of any debate or discussion. The sharing of ideas and influence are. I call this ubiquitous cause...

In #TrumpNation all standards of decorum and decency have been ironed out of the #GOP. “I hope the president can come to the realization that he should really stop insulting people,” Powell continued. “I used this two years ago when I said I could not vote for him in the 2016 election. Why? He insulted everybody. He insulted African-Americans, he insulted women, he insulted immigrants. He insulted our best friends around the world—all of his fellow candidates up on the stage during the debates. I don’t think that’s what should be coming out of a president of the United States. But I don’t see anything that’s changed in the last two years.” https://www.newsweek.com/colin-powell-donald-trump-america-we-people-madeleine-albright-constitution-1157119

Could you shut down a robot you've recently collaborated with, especially if it begs to be left on? As human beings we tend to anthropomorphize things around us and therefore treat non-living things as cognizant emotional beings. Will we extend that same courtesy to robots? https://www.popsci.com/humans-killing-robots?con=TrueAnthem&dom=fb&lnk=TA&src=SOC&utm_campaign&utm_content=5bb8f12904d3013e2275af76&utm_medium&utm_source

#GooglePhotos reminded me of two years ago when Rufus and I went and looked at the pretty colors.

New evidence has come to light that the FBI and the DNC may have worked in tandem to defeat #DonaldTrump giving #TrumpNation more to cry about with the so-called #deepstate. Of course, we won't know for sure until the documents are all released and we can have a public review. The growing body of evidence that the FBI used mostly politically-motivated, unverified intelligence from an opponent to justify spying on the GOP nominee's campaign - just weeks before Election Day - has prompted a growing number of Republicans to ask President Trump to declassify the rest of the FBI's main documents in the Russia collusion case. https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/409817-russia-collusion-bombshell-dnc-lawyers-met-with-fbi-on-dossier-before
