Indian Taliban: Diktat against marriages within 'Gotra'
The Panchayats of North Indian states have emerged as the desi versions of Taliban but their mindless acts evoke little response despite the hazard they pose to our society.
If a young girl and boy who belong to same clan marry, the Panchayats don't think twice before ordering their execution. Ved Pal and Shilpa were not cousins. They just belonged to same khap (clan).
This was enough for the elders to not just issue the diktat of their deaths. But they killed Ved Pal. This happened even after the case had reached the High Court.
In the name of honour, customs and traditions, young couples in Haryana, western UP and parts of Punjab, have been facing threats to life and are killed. Ironically this dastardly practice gets social sanction.
Police fail to act due to popular support to such regressive and barbarian traditions. The Jats and Gujjars are most vocal on this issue and don't want any intervention in their 'culture'. For them marriage within the Gotra is anathema, even if it is lawful.
In this part of Northern India, umpteen such murders take place. The administration remains apathetic and political class turns askance. Hindustan Times' Vikas Pathak and Satvir S Sarwari have covered the issue of 'honour killings'.
The report titled 'Honourable murderes in Haryana' should serve as an eye-opener to us. How thugs hijack our system. It's shameful as couples keep getting lynched, for no fault of theirs.
The growing influence of these panchayats in 21st century is a shame and the courts along with national commissions and the polity must act, to put an end to the local Taliban.

Americans speak frugality with their lips but want more spending in their hearts. Poll after poll keeps showing the same thing: when it comes to actually receiving less from their beneficent government , Americans of both parties won't have it. Of course, they will have it, when the money runs out in the long run, but in the long run we'll all be dead, and it's our kids who'll be left with the tab. Lucky them.

Same here in Greenwich … "We want low taxes!" But when asked what services the citizens want to give up, that's another story.
For the life of me I can't see why it's not ok to raise retirement to 70 and do means testing… why should people living on $100,000 a year in retirement get government help? I don't get it.
Means testing, along with term limits, is something that hasn't been seriously discussed by congress in almost twenty years.
Many republicans were against it, feeling that if they paid in all their working career but weren't eligible for the benefit, it was just another form of wealth redistribution.
Well t always was, but means testing would have exposed the myth that it was some sort of savings plan.

Personally, I think that the answer is that too many of our politicians can read polls and are not statesmen. They know if they take the high road and try to battle this, they'll end up in the private sector, be a lobbyist, etc. (which frankly, I don't really understand why it doesn't appeal to more of 'em!) Anyway – they don't have the balls to do what is necessary to explain what ultimately has to happen with such a trajectory to us.
So – they keep on passing all this crap because the illogical voters want it and it keeps 'em fat and happy – FOR NOW – and keeps the pol in office.
Yeah. Screw the coming generations. Are we the "Most Selfish Generation" or what?!?! 🙁
Are we the "Most Selfish Generation" or what?!?!
Speak for your-collectivist-self Peg.
When social security started, it was indexed above the average age – should have stayed that way. Means testing is BS. If they want it as an extra tax they should call it that – as it stands, there's an alleged trust fund and I get statements each year summarizing how much they've taken so far.
D – if they were honest about it all, people would riot. Why the lies keep coming and coming and coming……. Much of our government has become the Energizer Bunny of Distortion and Fabrication.
The Social Security Administration is 'honest about it all," Peg.
When Bismark started all this old age pension stuff, he set the age it kicked in at 67, when the average age was something like 49, thus assuring solvency. By the way, notice how despite all the horrible chemicals introduced into modern lives since Bismark's day, our life expectancy today is far higher than then – that's a bug, not a feature, for global warmists but for the rest of us, perhaps something to appreciate and wonder at.
The first national retirement system under German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck set 70 as the retirement age in 1889. German males' life expectancy then was 72 so their initial benefit period averaged two years.

The Left Coaster http://www.theleftcoaster.com/ An outside-the-Beltway perspective on current events, politics, media, and the arts. We are proud to be part of the Reality-Based Community. en-us 2016-07-22T05:51:13-08:00 Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up! http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020863.php
The excellent writer and human Paul Waldman of the Washington Post and The Week gave out a warning to our dear Republican cousins when they blocked the Supreme Court justice nominee Merrick Garland: you're abandoning another governing norm, do it too many times and you're de-evolve into something badly unrecognizable.

It can be said that human institutions reflect the personal human psyche, one is rarely in a static general state, there is either a base progression forward or movement backward. There are happy times when variables gel to a stable state, but change will eventually force adaptive growth—or a regressive fall.

Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!

Although Richard Nixon was pretty good at it, Newt Gingrich can be credibly granted as the modern American Republican knight of scorched-earth politics, anything goes in an all-out bullying swagger, rules and norms are for weakling punks. Our hapless Republican cousins have adapted to no other way since.

Thus we get shutting down the government over petty procedural rules in a brutally stupid tactic to win political concessions. Actually impeaching a President over a ridiculous personal dalliance. A rabidly partisan Supreme Court smashing Democracy with a stolen election. Starting a war with complete fabrications and a heinous whiplash of unnecessary fear. Refusing to appoint a Supreme Court justice because a cherished conservative would be lost to a liberal replacement.

As we all know Fox News and the Internet echo chamber relentlessly drove this regression with dishonesty and a total abandonment of the truth. It worked short term with pugnacious gains in red states, but start on a path of dishonesty and half-truths and one can end up in really unrecognizable, acutely uncomfortable place.

Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!

If abandoning norms becomes a casual occurrence in a regressive state with a ruthless echo chamber to reinforce it, make Hillary Clinton a criminal and endlessly chant she cheated and rigged the system. Abandon the norm and decorum of addressing her by her title and call her Crooked Hillary instead.

Keep doing it to an enclosed group of humans passionately committed to their political goals and you'll get the filthy, horrifying regression of a vicious mob that we witnessed at the Republican Convention, things have gotten so bad and gone so banana republic wrong the Republicans have actually criminalized the opposition Democratic candidate.

Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!

As of course Hillary Clinton is never locked up the whiplash of lies and anger will intensify, naturally, and we can only pray the Secret Service is now hyper-vigilant in their duty to keep her safe. Norms and decency are for punks, remember the Republican Way, and with elected Republicans like Christie egging the base mob on terrible violence is a terribly predictable regression here.

I hope with every atom of my soul the New York Times takes an honest examination to their massive contribution to this horrifying, filthy mess. Their vendetta against the Whitewater Clintons goes back decades, and for half a year in 2015 they were a happy, reliable conduit for any stupid, ridiculous innuendo and falsehood that greasy rat Trey Gowdy could feed them from that reeking Benghazi committee.

Plus that little incident where the New York Times published Hillary Clinton was under criminal investigation. If the flagship [gag] "journalism" paper in the United States relentlessly feeds a stupid, ridiculous story of nothing what signal does that send to the rest of that pack of ratings and equivalence dogs in our "journalism" corps? Go, go, go get her!

Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!

It would be extremely helpful if the rest of the woeful American "journalism" corps dropped this absolutely absurd charade that "both sides do it." No, my intrepid brothers and sisters of truth, the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton have not abandoned the truth and norms of decency to regress into the horrifying mess of Donald Trump.

No, we will not prosecute him publicly with some fool New Jersey kangaroo and then chant for his imprisonment at our convention next week. Is it finally clear what's happened to the Republican Party and their horrifying regression? The Democratic Party is not in that hellish place of lock him up!, no, we are far, far from it. Start saying so, please.

For the rest of us little people helplessly watching the dictum remains the same: totally support Hillary Clinton and do everything possible to defeat Donald Trump in this amazingly not-normal election. The Republican Party is over the cliff and smashing its way down, the United States of America cannot go with them.

 2016 Election paradox 2016-07-22T05:51:13-08:00 Giving Them a Real Choice http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020862.php
It's been said before around these parts that the GOP will run 2016 as a law-and-order election, and sure enough, you'll hear a lot of that tonight from Donald Trump. The time-tested way to jack up white people is to scare them with imaginary lawless brown people. So look for Trump and the GOP to run a replay of Nixon's 1968 strategy.

Just don't expect to hear Trump talk about "justice" and "fairness" while he is talking about law and order, unless he wants to brazenly put forward the notion of reverse discrimination, which given his base should not be discounted. Fascists need to display an image of nativism and strength with their overt racism, so the "America First" message tonight is really code for "White People Coming Home."

As for Hillary, and her VP pick, I do think the Pence selection may have changed her calculus, but that is no reason to pick the likes of Castro, Vilsack, or Perez. Nor am I particularly thrilled with a Tim Kaine selection, yet when you look at the Democrats' actual bench, there aren't many commander-in-chiefs in waiting. Obama for his part certainly wasn't himself in 2008, but he selected Biden to compensate for that. Hillary doesn't need to check that box herself, yet she needs to make a good but not pandering pick.

I simply think in this election, with a need to drive out the Democratic base while undercutting Trump's alleged concern for blue collar economics, combatting two extremist white guys with two pro-middle class women could be a smart, and energizing play. It would also help if Hillary called Trump's bluff on economics, and focused on unions, as we've said before, and make Trump go against that.

No matter what, Hillary will have a target-rich environment to go after Trump and Pence, bit it starts with the right economic message and the right running mate.

Update, Thursday evening: Trump's prepared remarks cast America in a dark place that is all Hillary's fault:

Trump's speech will lay out stark differences between his agenda and Clinton's. He asserted that the likely Democratic nominee was a "puppet" of corporations and elites, and that she would "keep our rigged system in place."

That's right, the man who is now owned by the Koch Brothers, and who has been an elite himself his entire life, is attacking the woman who came out last week for a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United.

Trump also blamed Clinton directly for the past decade and a half of turmoil in the Middle East and cast the former secretary of state as a favor-trading, self-enriching agent of foreign powers.

That's right; it was all a dream that Bush/Cheney were in the White House from 2001 until 2009. And apparently Hillary has been running our foreign policy since 2009.

"This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: Death, destruction and weakness," Trump said in the prepared remarks. "But Hillary Clinton's legacy does not have to be America's legacy."

He's now opened himself up to a 4-day exploration next week of what a Trump world would mean for America.

 2016 Election Deacon Blues 2016-07-21T09:14:10-08:00 Lies, Damned Lies, and Trump http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020861.php
You have to love how Donald Trump views party unity. Your campaign chairman picks a fight with the governor of the state hosting the RNC convention, explicitly making a threat against that governor, and then blames Hillary Clinton for the outright plagiarism committed by Trump's wife last night. Yes, Paul Manafort is definitely Vladimir Putin's man inside the Republican Party.

It's pretty bad when the RNC chairman and the departed Trump campaign chairman both agree that there needs to be accountability for the dumpster fire that was Melania Trump's speech last night. But what gets lost here are two things:
 1. The Trump family has integrity issues all around; and
 2. Trump and his supporters are the same people insisting that Hillary's alleged lack of integrity disqualifies her.

Yet there was Matthew Dowd and Robin Roberts on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning, giving golden child Ivanka Trump strokes for being a political star in the making. That's when you know ABC and perhaps other networks are in the tank for Trump, while continuing to pick away at the Clintons for their "integrity" issues.

 2016 Election Deacon Blues 2016-07-19T11:47:50-08:00 Missing The Obvious http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020860.php
It's amazing how much of the initial commentary about the Pence VP selection never mentions the real reason why he was selected over Gingrich and Christie: Pence is a bridge to Koch money and immediately solves the GOP financial disadvantage. Yet you wouldn't know this by reading the New Republic, Politico, Joan Walsh at the Nation, Buzz Feed, or other outlets.

Yet I can't blame them: the Clinton campaign dropped the ball also. I mean, how hard is it to start tying Trump and Pence to the Koch Brothers, and destroy Trump's alleged independence from GOP establishment plutocrats? Apparently it is too difficult for Team Clinton.

As for the recent coverage by mainstream media outlets about a tightening race, remember that the New York Times/CBS News poll was of registered voters, and not likely voters. Because the media wants to cover a horse race, they want to sell their narrative that Hillary was mortally wounded by the FBI conclusions about her email stupidity. Yet you won't hear the mainstream media cover other polls taken at the same time, of likely voters, that show Clinton not affected by the FBI report, but in fact leading Trump by a good margin.

And that's before the GOP gives us four days next week of Benghazi, Clinton sex crimes, and laughable Trump surrogates. What you won't hear in Cleveland from Trump's media spectacle are actual solutions to our problems, just attacks.

There's been some talk recently about Team Clinton getting its act together and the candidate finding her voice. I haven't seen it yet, nor have I been impressed with their ability to take what is handed to them and beat Trump over the head with it. Clinton now knows the GOP ticket and the convention agenda: a failed businessman and discriminatory governor, peddling attacks and not a positive vision of solutions to real problems. A smart campaign would spend every day over the next week driving the "Party of Koch" narrative, and blasting Trump for selling out to the plutocrats and extremists who have nothing to offer Main Street.

A smart campaign would do that. Where is that campaign?

 2016 Election Deacon Blues 2016-07-15T14:34:35-08:00 Pence = Koch Brothers http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020859.php
With Trump's VP nominee search apparently narrowed to Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie, and now Indiana GOP governor Mike Pence, you only need to remember one thing: Mike Pence is a wholly owned political subsidiary of the Koch Brothers. For a campaign struggling to gain ground against Clinton's fundraising advantage, the quickest way for Donald Trump to access $1-2 billion is for him to put Mike Pence on the ticket.

No matter how tight the polls may be getting right now, Team Clinton should want Trump to select Pence, because such a selection immediately destroys Trump's narrative of being his own man, one not tied to GOP plutocrats. Having Mike Pence on the ticket means putting Charles and David Koch in the Oval Office, giving orders to "Man of the People" President Trump.

Update, Thursday: Money wins out; Trump will pick Pence. Trump's ascension demolished the GOP establishment infrastructure to the degree that the Koch Brothers have now achieved what they always wanted: control of the Republican Party.

 2016 Election Deacon Blues 2016-07-13T16:00:39-08:00 America's Weimar Election http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020858.php
Via Hullabaloo and Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine comes a fascinating insight into the evolution of Adolf Hitler and extremely disturbing parallels to Election 2016, America's Weimar election.

Conservative Germans then, just as most Americans view Trump now, saw Hitler as rabble political trash, certainly good at mobilizing base political forces but completely hapless in his ability to organize intellectually or to practically seize power. A contemptible lightweight, soon to be easily swept away by rationality and events.

Even if Hitler wasn't to be ignored surely his appeal could be twisted to serve other political aims, and his ascendancy could mean assurance of other goals—as Chait says, think supply-siders hoping for tax cuts or abortion zealots yearning for USSC seats.

Coupled with these rationalizations was a manifestly foolish underestimation of Hitler's actual chances of success, because it could never happen rationalizations could go forth, excuses made, and hiding in plain fear of course manifestly improved Hitler's chances. It could never happen and then with just a few critical events wham, bam it really did happen and reality crashed home all at once.

How the Republican Party regressed and degraded itself to point where it nominated Trump is another very legitimate story, but in a way it doesn't matter now, it's happened, a ranting, lying racist rabble manipulator is one election from the Presidency of the United States! The American Weimar election is here, the United States is in acute political crisis!

That fact, very alarmingly, has sunk home for only a small percentage of American voters, precisely for the same reasons Hitler was underestimated—Trump is a lightweight who can't pull it off, a coup attempt could never happen, Congress would restrain him, yadda yadda. We all know how that worked out.

Amazingly enough, a ray of hope and sanity recently broke through from none other than Fox News, I kid you not, David Meyers sees the truth and the acute dangers of Trump and flat-out calls out Republicans as fools and betrayers of country of they support Trump.

Another extremely surprising Republican beam of sanity and hope comes from none other than George W Bush, who has stated he will not be supporting Trump. For a politician who so gleefully smashed Democracy in Election 2000 and started the Iraq War for lies I didn't think the loathsome political toad had it in him.

Dismayingly, most of the Republican establishment will be cowards and go along with Trump. Even more alarmingly most of the American media will play along with the charade, hey everything's normal in another election. Right?

Again, no, if Trump is elected the American experience of Democracy as we know it so over, as the righteous Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently said anything could happen. Hey Congress would restrain him, just like they restrained Bush and Cheney with torture. Right?

Currently that disgusting oaf the Republican Party nominated for President said RGB's mind is shot. How proud the Party of Lincoln bears itself this fine day, oh my god. Welcome to America's Weimar election, I'm afraid it's only going to get worse.

It will become the ultimate political nightmare if Trump is elected, an unthinkable American political scenario that must not be allowed to happen. What does that mean for us as ordinary voters and citizens?

Take absolutely nothing for granted, nothing, in no way shape or form facilitate any action that helps or encourages the election of Trump. The Democratic Party primary was an excruciatingly long, most excellent opportunity to push for change in the Party and nomination of Hillary Clinton. That window is now smashingly closed, and with our Weimar election total dedication for the election of Hillary Clinton is called for.

Again, 2016 is not a normal American election, problems with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are perfectly understandable, and there is no American voice louder than mine for individual liberty and reforming Democratic Party problems, but in this time and place they must be put aside or all could be lost.

For many of us that will not be an easy process, but it must happen for duty to country and the American Democratic experience. The Germans were absolutely sure Hitler was rabble trash with no chance and lost everything, we cannot allow that to happen here.

 2016 Election paradox 2016-07-13T07:10:10-08:00 Post E-Mail Shutout http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020857.php
FBI Director Comey did the right thing, and gave more detail behind their recommendations than the bureau would normally do in the Hillary Clinton email decision. I can quibble about the FBI's assertions as to what Clinton knew was classified or Top Secret as it was sent to her, but the truth as I've said before is that Clinton showed poor judgment and made a mistake in doing this in the first place, so she should just give a contrite and soul-baring statement and press conference and move on. Will she? No.

And the reason why she won't, and decide instead to simply ignore it and ride this out is already in evidence on MSNBC, which is breathlessly covering every rant and utterance from Donald Trump since Comey's press conference. BernieTV was already disposed against Hillary regardless of her stupidity on the email decision, so this perhaps shouldn't be surprising that they are helping drive ratings by giving Trump around the clock coverage in his outrage.

I'm pretty much done with the political coverage until the conventions now. I can't stand what the media is doing to enable Trump, so I've decided to ignore the media each night and just wait it out until later.

 2016 Election Deacon Blues 2016-07-06T16:28:52-08:00 The Don of the Con http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020856.php
There has been some background debate to the 2016 presidential campaign among political geeks and a few journalists to an unthinkable thesis of American politics: the Republican nominee is not in fact a candidate for President, he's a grifter who's only playing the part to enrich himself.

That cannot be, there is no way our world could produce such a lying twisted mind for the most noble, powerful office in the world. Even if such a mental charlatan existed it's flat-out impossible for a grifter to navigate the American political process against real politicians, it's as if to say the sun shines purple, there is no realm of possibility for a faker to run for President.

Donald Trump is not running for President, he's using the process to make money for himself and his family while puffing up his pathetic, flabby brand. He has no plans or expectation of beating Hillary Clinton, of course not, when he loses by his own personal lights he's still vastly ahead will all kinds of exposure and mailing lists to glean gobs and gobs of money from the unsuspecting rubes that he suckered in the first place.

That truth and reality is becoming starkly clearer every day. Incredibly, the Republican nominee for President of the United States has no money for his campaign, he really doesn't, he winged it in the primary with massive amounts of free exposure from the often-putrid American media swamp and then lied about his personal fortune being a handy backup.

Money is everything in American presidential politics, without one is completely doomed against an opponent with funds, my god it's been a huge swirling issue for years how our system is smashed by money, yet this clown waltzes onto the 2016 campaign stage essentially broke while his son solicits cash from elected foreign politicians? What?

The answer to that incredible fact is that he's not a candidate, he's a liar and a charlatan playing his own game.

The weekend of the Brexit vote Trump went to Scotland, stupidly tweeted about Scottish results and then, amazingly, said not a word about any implications of the vote and marketed his obnoxious elitist golf course instead. Huh?

Donald Trump isn't running for President, he's using the exposure to promote his brand and hotels, that's how that disgusting Scotland evolution occurred.

On our American Fourth of July weekend the Republican nominee for President spent the entire time lying about a grossly offensive Star of David graphic he used about Hillary Clinton, which in fact he or his staff lifted off a white supremacist site. Excuse me, say again?

Donald Trump isn't a candidate, he used that graphic to cultivate the racist followers of his politics for future gain.

Oh there's a politics to Donald Trump, all right, the very fact he's the nominee means something worked on a political level. The absolute worst political tactics of racism, nationalism and bullying were used by Trump in classic authoritarian domination to secure the Republican nomination.

The willful stupidity and ease of manipulation of the Republican base is a morbidly fascinating subject, of course Trump never would have been the nominee without their votes, but going forward the main fact to keep centered is that Trump isn't a nominee, he's a con man.

Naturally we will continue to see amazingly stupid and grossly backfiring political stunts like lying about using the Star of David, get used to it, Trump's so-called political world bangs around the minds of the Republican base with intentions of future grift, not present political votes.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous, horrifying candidate for President I have ever seen or imagined, defeat this man and his terrifying implications for our country with everything at your possible personal disposal. Talk to your friends and family, register, vote, donate to Hillary Clinton, work with the local campaign if you can, 2016 is a special election, do not is any sense slack it or fling a protest vote. I order my yard sign today.

Watch the Republican base and Party closely. Lied to and manipulated for decades naturally many will not see the con Trump represents, but oh my god defeat they will understand, defeat to Hillary Clinton, and if they smash apart and implode dangerous, powerful forces could lash out to the country in ways we can't see yet.

Initially I had started to gleefully knife the Republicans this morning, they have so richly earned all the fun ridicule so easy to stab their soon-to-be political corpse with, but personal experience of the con stopped me.

Betrayal is of course a terrible occurrence, but when it's overlaid with lying and deception to get suckered intellectually and with cash, ah, that's a very special acid to horribly burn with the betrayal wound. When our Republican cousins truly comprehend what's happened and how they've been suckered, well, then an American evolution of political anger we will truly see.

 2016 Election paradox 2016-07-05T06:53:43-08:00 If Hillary Clinton Had Illegally Solicited Foreign Politicians…. http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020855.php
Cruising my Twitter feed this morning I came across the interesting statement that the Republican nomination of Donald Trump represents a general, totalistic diagnosis of the United States, just his very existence means an extreme, alarming sickness is upon the entire Republic, the place has officially gone to hell.

Well, yes and no. Certainly beyond all doubt Donald Trump represents outright total regression of the Republican Party, they made their choices to obdurately obstruct (instead of building something, anything), to racially exploit and incite (instead of healing for a real inclusive future) and most disastrously set up a vivid, deafening media echo chamber, the truth now completely alludes them, the Republicans now a wandering, stupid Party led by an intellectual, lying banana slug.

For the country as a whole, though, no, I don't think just the nomination of Trump means we're doomed to failure. Just the fact one is reading this is a radical, tremendous leap forward with amazing potential still, there are vast areas of hope in solar energy, and one can accurately look at the implosion of the Republican Party as a rightful rejection of their stupid, lying, authoritarian repression, God the country wants nothing of their hollow greedy perverted meanness.

There are other variables of optimism, of course, but after yesterday morning all significantly dimmed after watching the disgusting, vapid pack attack on our esteemed and respected Attorney General Loretta
 Lynch.

As a Republic we desperately need a professional media to accurately convey the truth and when it comes to the Clintons our media cousins are still the same stupid, infuriating, obnoxious buffoons of idiocy they were 16 years ago, my god, they have learned nothing and still are ridiculously clueless in the awful spectacle of gory regression.

Very humorous in its base absurdity, yes, but these media idiots still yield vast attention power, how they perform still matters a great deal. Oy we are in trouble as a country with these media morons still mentally masturbating about how they can take down the Clintons, I'm afraid that's very much the truth.

To briefly recap, Bill Clinton had a brief personal impromptu chat with Attorney General Lynch at an airport. In a beyond-ridiculous conflation of mental sickness our media dogs then decided this was a vicious, searing conspiracy detrimental to the health of the Republic, conspiracy to cover up Madame Clinton's allegedly nefarious use of an email server.

That stupid, ridiculous story of outright hounding obsession is bad enough, but to then watch our media cousins so stupidly, rabidly take off in a baying pack of we've got something on the Clintons, we've got something on the Clintons with Loretta Lynch! was beyond disgusting, it's an outright sign of troubling regression that bodes darkly upon the future health of the Republic, oy vey.

This, my stalwart fellow citizens, this on the very same day it's been revealed that the Trump campaign has been illegally, embarrassingly and stupidly soliciting elected foreign leaders, my god, for cash.

One can only imagine the orgasmic glee at the New York Times offices should Hillary Clinton pulled such an illegal disgusting stunt, they would instantly lead the way out of hounding her out of the race, not an exaggeration at all after yesterday, a relentless daily pounding into oblivion, you embarrassing illegal Clinton person, you!

No doubt. Yet our regressive media cousins ignored that amazing Trump story, just as they basically ignore the Trump University story. Again, ask yourself what CNN would do if Hillary Clinton had set up a sham shark University, the coverage would be non-stop for months until they obliterated her, of that there is no doubt either.

New York Times, CNN, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, Fox, absolutely no one has forgotten the absolutely sick persecution of Bill Clinton in the 1990's, the absurd impeachment, Citizens United, Ken Star and all the rest of the regression that eventually led to the election of the worst of all time, George W Bush.

It is amazing, our media cousins walk around with no memory, the past and their behavior means nothing to them, really. They were complete obnoxious idiots with the Clintons 16 years ago and after yesterday it's empirically obvious they're still the same stupid, obnoxious charlatans of truth they've always been. Way to go on the growth curve, guys.

This election, however, the truly evil specter of Donald Trumps looms upon us all. Grow up fast, American media, help foist this idiot upon the country and we every well may not survive as a Republic, it is that serious.

 Journalism paradox 2016-07-02T03:51:51-08:00 Boris Johnson Passes on Being PM http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020854.php
We've been hearing for the last two days from Brexit proponents that fears of economic harm from the vote are overblown, and that the "Leave" campaign leaders are optimistic about what lies ahead. And then Justice Minister Michael Gove kneecapped Boris Johnson in the last 24 hours:

Boris Johnson was still the favourite to be Britain's next prime minister at 9.01am, as he prepared to launch his campaign at an upmarket hotel near St James's Park.

But unbeknown to him, Michael Gove, his key ally and Brexit running mate, had made the decision to run against him at least 12 hours before then.

Gove had thrown his lot in with Johnson after they won the referendum together, planning to run on a "dream ticket" with the man long tipped to succeed David Cameron. For years, Gove had said he had no ambitions to be Tory leader and there would be better choices for the job.

However, those close to Gove say he changed his mind about Johnson after days of trying to negotiate with him about how to run the campaign. Along with fellow Boris backers, Dominic Raab and Nick Boles, Gove came to the conclusion late on Wednesday night that the former mayor of London did not have the right qualities to lead the country.

And with that, Gove decided that he and not Johnson was the man for the job of negotiating England's exit from the EU, and in all likelihood presiding over the dissolution of the United Kingdom.

Johnson absorbed that betrayal, and then decided that he wanted out of the running to be the next prime minister, leaving it to his fellow wrecking-ball operators to handle the mess they created. As a result, observers are fuming at the realization there never really was a plan for "taking back control" of their country, and that petty politics has caused the rats to turn on each other.

In other words, America is getting an advance look at the aftermath of a Donald Trump election this November.

 Foreign Policy/War Deacon Blues 2016-06-30T09:23:49-08:00 What We Know Today http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020853.php
Amongst several different stories in the news, this is what we know today:

2016 Presidential Race
 After seeing two different polls over the last several days, taken largely during the same period of time, we know that Hillary has between a 5 and 12-point lead over Trump amongst registered voters right now. Again, these are not likely voters, but registered voters. However, the trends for Trump, buried in the details of the ABC News/Washington Post poll don't look good for him.

Brexit
 Proponents of the "Leave" movement, those who wanted to exit the EU, flat-out lied in the campaign, and were never fact-checked by the British tabloids, many of which are Murdoch rags. And now the snakes behind those lies, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, are walking back those selling points, hoping that the electorate will let them get away with a heinous trashing of democracy. The EU, for its part, wants Great Britain out as soon as possible, so Mr. Johnson will come into office as Prime Minister with the responsibility of negotiating his own demise, as more and more ill-informed "Leave" voters realize they voted against their own self-interest.

Trumps Lies About Clinton
 During his attack against Hillary last week, Trump flat-out lied that Clinton steered $55 million of State Department funding to Laureate Education because of their connections to Bill Clinton. So given his endorsement of Brexit last week while he was in Scotland as something good for Great Britain, shouldn't Clinton's team start comparing Trump to the liars who just foisted Brexit upon that country?

 2016 Election Deacon Blues 2016-06-27T11:26:37-08:00 Brexit Fall-out http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020852.php
The four-point victory by Brexit proponents in yesterday's vote in Great Britain, to leave the EU will have ramifications far beyond David Cameron's departure as Prime Minister this fall. First, and as important as anything else, the vote in all likelihood signals the end of the United Kingdom, because both Scotland and Northern Ireland have already called for their own referendums to leave the UK to stay in the EU.

Second, Donald Trump impostors Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage will now get their chance to destroy Great Britain financially amid an anti-immigration bloodlust these next two years. You can count on London losing several major international banks and thousands of jobs to Ireland, Scotland, and/or the continent, something that Farage and Johnson can explain to the sheeple who probably didn't even know what the hell they were really voting for.

This may also lead to more unraveling of the EU, with other members likely wanting out over the coming months. Russia and China are quite happy about all this.

And Trump himself demonstrated today, in Scotland no less, why he is an embarrassment and a flip-flopper. To actually say in Scotland that he applauded the UK's exit from the EU, at a time when Scotland wants to stay in, on the basis that the decision will make more money for his local golf course only reinforces why the man has no business getting near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But since there are millions of stupid voters here in America like demonstrably there are in Great Britain, there is no guarantee that the United States won't destroy itself with a terrible decision this November.

And all this because demagogues demonize brown people, and Barack Obama was short-sighted about Syria.

 Economy/Finance Deacon Blues 2016-06-24T12:10:00-08:00 Goodbye Merrick Garland http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020851.php
For every white voter the GOP and Trump try to scare to the polls this November with a call to lock in long-term anti-immigration efforts through a whiter Supreme Court, there will be several other voters that Democrats can also drive to the polls, thanks to the deadlocked SCOTUS ruling today blocking Obama's executive order.

Trust me, it will be quite easy to drive millions of Latino voters to the polls knowing that a Texas circuit court's ruling is the law of the land, and forces the deportation and breakup of thousands of families across the country. All this decision does is ensure even more overreach and ugliness from Trump and the GOP against brown people. I don't expect Beltway pundits to acknowledge that, but the actual political effect of today's ruling will be quite stark this November.

Make no mistake: I think Obama was wrong in what he did, and overreached himself here. But if anyone thinks this will help the GOP and Trump win the presidency, they're delusional.

And yes, this dooms the Merrick Garland nomination, because the GOP will now hold out to wait for Trump to (hopefully) nominate a desired white guy. But when Hillary rams someone else down their throats next year who is less to their liking, they will look back at this time as a missed opportunity to let a moderate through.

 Immigration/Border Deacon Blues 2016-06-23T16:10:35-08:00 Ryan's Obamacare Alternative is a Fraud http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020849.php
I could write a long piece about Donald Trump's attack upon the Clintons today, wherein he called Hillary a "world class liar", which coming from Trump is the pot calling the kettle black. CNN, the NYT, NPR, ABC News, and others have already called out Trump himself for lying today in his attack, but this it is standard Rovian political theory to attack your opponent from your own position of weakness in an effort to keep them on the defensive. Nothing new there, except that Donald Trump himself is nothing more than a pathological fraud and liar.

What's just as interesting however is that Paul Ryan finally rolled out the GOP alternative to Obamacare today, 6 years late. Needless to say, it is nothing new but a rehash of standard GOP scraps that would destroy our healthcare system and throw millions off of coverage. And did I mention that Ryan had the gall today to once again call for block-granting Medicaid, a recipe for GOP governors to throw thousands of people into the abyss, while Ryan also called for a Medicare premium support model, which is GOP dog whistling for destroying Medicare too.

Note that Ryan rolled this out at a time when health care insecurity is at a record low, due in large part to Obamacare. Yet Ryan and Donald Trump call for the immediate repeal of it, during Trump's first 100 days.

If you are looking for evidence that the GOP is a dead and bankrupt party, it is too easy to look at Trump's ascension as Exhibit A. Ryan's sad and intellectually dishonest "cure" for our health care system has no costs or numbers of affected Americans tied to it, even though the GOP's purported main policy wonk (Ryan) has had years to develop this. The truth is that the GOP hates government healthcare and doesn't care if "those people" die in the streets. It's also true that like Ted Cruz, who was also regarded by the media as a very smart if not brilliant mind inside the Beltway, Paul Ryan is just as overrated as a supposed "policy wonk."

If Paul Ryan is the intellectual cornerstone of the GOP establishment, and Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are the GOP's "faces", then the Republican Party is truly dead.

 Healthcare Deacon Blues 2016-06-22T14:16:21-08:00 Running on Empty http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/020848.php  Image courtesy of NPR
Yes, it is mindboggling to see that Donald Trump's fundraising is virtually nonexistent, and that he starts the general election campaign flat broke. However, despite claims to the contrary from the center-left media, Trump has poured $46 million of his own money into his campaign, and claims today that he is willing to put more money in. It's just that the fundraising machine needed to run a countrywide effort in tandem with the RNC needed to be in place and generating some funds by now, but clearly it isn't.

Perhaps it is just one more sign of the emerging yet obvious conclusion: Trump never thought he'd be in this situation a year ago.

Lastly, when you antagonize the national papers and exclude them from covering your campaign, you only motivate them to go after you even harder, and get quotes from insiders that make you look bad.

Update: One of Trump's lines of attack against Hillary and Bill are his allegations today and previously that she used her official position as Secretary of State to benefit the family, a claim that has already been debunked. Given Trump's own enriching of himself through the campaign, that line of attack is now kaput.

Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by quikin: Drat! We're back...sigh
Overall Member Rating
Drat! We're back...sigh
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We are just back from the Carnival Triumph 3/8/09 - 3/15/09 cruise to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
We flew in directly from Atlanta. I think this is the last time we are going to do this. I'm just getting too old for that long travel day. I'll spring for the hotel for a night from now on. We took the Carnival shuttle from the Ft. Lauderdale Airport to Miami. It was a perfectly good shuttle. The Carnival staff member who greeted us at the airport was very friendly and helpful. The shuttle itself was a bus.
We arrived at the port around 11:30 and were on the ship at around 12:20. The embarkation process was smooth since we had our fun pass already filled out online and had printed out our documents and brought them with us. We had all of this information in hand and ready to go by the time we got to the counter. We had some lunch in the Lido restaurant and were able to get into our room by 1:30.
John, our room steward, introduced himself by More midafternoon. He agreed to put the beds together and bring us extra pillows without blinking and eye. John was great. He always had our room taken care of but we rarely saw him.
People always talk about the public rooms on a ship. The decor and colors and whatnot. I barely notice this kind of stuff. This ship looked as fine as any of the other ships I have been on. We are true believers that a cruise is largely what you make of it. We are there to relax and be pampered, not be interior design critics.
The Paris Dining Room was great. Juan and Maynarld, our waiters were wonderful and Aris the bar waiter had a Diet Coke waiting for me every night. The food was great as always. My favorite was the lamb chops and the GF really loved the Flat Iron Steak. Then there is the chocolate melting cake. The GF's favorite. Unfortunately, it seems that it is more melting than cake. It just seems like a bowl of really hot batter anymore. It's tasty batter but I would prefer more cake and less molten. The food on the Lido was good too. I've gotta say though, the pizza - not good. It's undercooked and it seems that the cheese is very possibly "cheese-food" Honestly, the pizza at Cici's is better. The deli though. Really good. I had corned beef, pastrami, and grilled ham and cheese. The GF was all about plain old turkey on white bread and she loved it.
We spent some time in the casino. Nothing too exciting happened in there. We both gave a donation but we enjoyed spending it. We ended up winning $500 playing Bingo so it all worked out.
I understand from my tablemates at dinner that the shows were good, but to be honest, there is something about being on a ship that just plain rocks me to sleep. I'm usually crashed out by 10ish.
Debarkation was smooth and painless. Monday morning came way too soon.
It was sad on Sunday night when we walked into the bedroom and there was no towel animal - no turndown - no mint on the pillow. Reality is the pits. We're booking our next cruise now. Less

Ray Lewis' makeup was running.
OPINION: It was eye black, actually, that dark, oily greasepaint football players smear under their eyes to cut down on glare, but which Lewis has begun using to fashion a fearsome facemask for himself. And somewhere amid all those hugs on the field and a few tears in the locker room, it had already turned into a mess.
Lewis was sitting on a table in the Ravens' training room following a 28-13 win over the Patriots that punched his ticket back to the Super Bowl. He pulled off his gloves first, then the nylon skull cap he wears under his helmet, staring straight ahead, enjoying a quiet moment by himself.
Then Terrell Suggs, his sidekick and fellow linebacker, burst into room bellowing, "The Ravens are going to the Super Bowl!" It was as though somebody threw a switch.
"Say it again," Lewis looked up and said, just above a whisper.
Suggs complied.
"Again!" Lewis hissed, a little louder this time, and began clapping his hands over his head in accompaniment.
Then he rubbed his eyes - as if checking to make sure he wasn't just imagining the scene. And just like that, the eyeblack that began the night covering his cheekbones now adorned his chin like a beard.
"We're built a certain way and we've got each other's backs, through it all," Lewis said. He savored the moment, remembering how the Ravens left New England a year ago, eliminated in this same AFC championship game after former kicker Billy Cundiff's 32-yard field goal attempt hooked wide left.
"Last year when we walked up out of here, I told them, I said, 'We'll be back. Don't hold your heads down because we've got something to finish.' "
That won't be for two more weeks, at the Super Bowl against the 49ers in New Orleans, but win or lose, Lewis will be finished. A tough guy playing a position where toughness is a given, he defied the odds by lasting 17 seasons and all of them with the same club that drafted him.
Lewis doesn't dominate games the way he used to, crushing running backs and making every tackle sound like it does on a video game. Yet the numbers don't lie, and just as he has throughout Baltimore's improbable run, Lewis led the Ravens in solo tackles and assists, 14 combined on this night. At 37, he's also been on the field for more snaps than any other defender.
Yet Lewis' leadership is more than his stats, more than his awkward dance out of the tunnel, more than the hoarse pregame speeches he gives in the last huddle before leading his teammates onto the field.
"There's so many things you can say about Ray, but the thing you don't see just watching the games is how much work he puts in," backup linebacker Paul Kruger said. "And not just his own business. He wants the kickers to be pros in how they go about their business in practice, the linemen, the skill guys - it doesn't matter to Ray.
"A lot of guys outside this locker room have been talking about how we're all playing for Ray, and that's true," he continued. "But playing for Ray means playing for yourself, too, and playing for the team, because that's what he cares about most.
"So yeah," Kruger said. "You could say we're playing for Ray. But what that means to us is that nobody wants to be the guy who lets him down."
That wasn't a problem yesterday, at least not once the Ravens took the Patriots' measure. After nosing in front 13-7 by halftime, Baltimore's defence stiffened and held New England scoreless the rest of the way.
"Second half, baby, was 21-0!" Suggs screamed in the next locker over from Lewis. "My wife told me, baby, quit watching tape and come to bed, you're going to win by 10. And she was only off by five points!"
Lewis looked over at his teammate and covered his mouth to stop from laughing out loud.
Though it wouldn't hurt, Lewis doesn't need another Super Bowl, let alone another Pro Bowl, to secure his legacy. At least not the football portion of it.
Lewis won the NFL's biggest prize once already, in 2000, and was named MVP in that game to boot. He's been picked for the Pro Bowl 13 times.
But a trip back to the big game will carry echoes of his last trip there, a year after Lewis was charged in a double murder after a Super Bowl party at an Atlanta nightclub a year earlier. Under an agreement with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice and testified against his two former co-defendants. Neither was convicted, and Lewis eventually reached undisclosed cash settlements with the victims' families.
Lewis worked hard to rebuild his reputation, eventually working his way back into the graces of the NFL. Humbled, he volunteered to speak at rookie orientation sessions and slowly won back the kind of respect that had nothing to do with his play on the field.
"Ray's a guy that's turned everything over," coach John Harbaugh said. "He's surrendered everything and he's become the man that he is to this day. He's a different man than he was when he was 22 or 15 or whatever. I think everybody sees that right now. I think it's a great thing for kids to see. It's a great thing for fathers to see. It's a great thing for athletes to see.
"It's," Harbaugh said, "a very special deal."

Safety Cheat Sheet
If people didn't fall for online scams, online scammers would take up another line of work. And really, it isn't terribly hard to protect yourself. If you do one thing today, print out the following list and tape it to your computer. (lol)
- Be wary of any financial solicitation from a stranger, especially if there's a sense of urgency involved. Scammers always want you to act without thinking too hard about it.
- Be very clear about what you're buying from an auction site, and what such items typically cost. Be wary of goods sold "as is" or sellers who claim products are authentic but refuse to provide proof. Check the seller's reputation score carefully before you bid.
- When you get an e-mail from your bank, never click the link inside it. Always open your browser and type your bank's Web address manually.
- When you log in to your bank account, make sure you're doing it on a secure site; the Web address should start with "https" and you'll see a tiny lock icon in the bottom right corner of the browser.
- Be suspicious of all contests and giveaways, and read the fine print before filling out any online forms. Pay COD for shipping and handling, if you can.
- Don't believe all return addresses. Though an e-mail message may claim it's from your bank, your ISP, or even your boss, that doesn't mean it is. Spammers and virus mailers generally spoof the "From" address field in their messages with a legitimate address that they've stolen. You may even have received spam from yourself as a result of this clever technique.
- Don't open e-mail attachments--unless you absolutely, 100-percent trust the sender (e.g., it's someone you know well sending an attachment you've been expecting). Most viruses and worms arrive on your PC in the form of e-mail attachments.
- If you think you've been taken for a ride, contact local law enforcement in your area. Then file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.

CORD becomes a Linux Foundation project
Central Office Re-architected as a Data Center (CORD), an open source integrated solutions platform for service providers leveraging merchant silicon, white boxes, and open source platforms such as Open Network Operating System (ONOS), OpenStack, Docker, and the cloud operating system XOS, is now part of the Linux Foundation as a new independent project. The Linux foundation is already home to many open source networking projects, including OpenDaylight and ONOS, so CORD is a natural fit for the non-profit foundation.
Google beefs Linux up kernel defenses in Android
Future versions of Android will be more resilient to exploits thanks to developers' efforts to integrate the latest Linux kernel defenses into the operating system. Android's security model relies heavily on the Linux kernel that sits at its core. As such, Android developers have always been interested in adding new security features that are intended to prevent potentially malicious code from reaching the kernel, which is the most privileged area of the operating system.
Fork YOU! Sure, take the code. Then what?
There's an old adage in the open source world – if you don't like it, fork it. This advice, often given in a flippant manner, makes it seem like forking a piece of software is not a big deal. Indeed, forking a small project you find on GitHub is not a big deal. There's even a handy button to make it easy to fork it. Unlike many things in programming though, that interaction model, that simplicity of forking, does not scale. There is no button next to Debian that says Fork it! Thinking that all you need to do to make a project yours is to fork it is a fundamental misunderstanding of what large free/open source projects are – at their hearts, they are communities. One does not simply walk into Debian and fork it. One can, on the other hand, walk out of a project, bring all the other core developers along, and essentially leave the original an empty husk. This is what happened when LibreOffice forked away from the once-mighty OpenOffice; it's what happened when MariaDB split from MySQL; and it's what happened more recently when the core developers behind ownCloud left the company and forked the code to start their own project, Nextcloud. They also, thankfully, dropped the silly lowercase first letter thing. Nextcloud consists of the core developers who built ownCloud, but who were not, and, judging by the very public way this happened, had not been, in control of the direction of the product for some time.

[Teams] Inter Milan vs Tottenham: Confirmed Line-ups
Tottenham are in Italy to face Inter Milan in the second leg of their Europa League last 16 tie with the Londoners looking to defend a commanding 3-0 lead following the first leg at White Hart Lane last week.
Goals from Gareth Bale, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jan Vertonghen gave Spurs the advantage ahead of tonight's defining second leg but the Premier League outfit are red-hot favourites to progress to the last eight.
However, boss Andre Villas-Boas will have to make do with Bale tonight after the Welsh winger picked up his third booking of the campaign last week and is therefore suspended. Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe both start. Here are the confirmed line-ups:
Inter Milan Team
Handanovic; Jonathan, Juan, Chivu, Zanetti; Gargano, Kovavic, Cambiasso; Guarin, Cassano, Palacio
Subs: Belec, Alvarez, Ranocchia, Benassi, Pasa, Colombi, Belloni.
Tottenham Team
Friedel, Naughton, Vertonghen, Gallas, Walker; Sigurdsson, Parker, Livermore, Dembele; Adebayor, Defoe
Subs: Lloris, Caulker, Huddlestone, Assou-Ekotto, Carroll, Holtby & Lennon
Now we've seen the teams whats your predicted score for the game? Get involved in the comments section below.

New Act to improve railway service
New Act supposed to improve railway service
CTV Saskatoon
Published Wednesday, December 12, 2012 9:56AM CST
The federal government has introduced legislation that is supposed to make Canada's main railways more accountable to their customers – like grain and mining companies.
Bill C-52 follows a five year review of rail service in Canada, that was launched after complaints of poor service from CP and CN Rail.
"The importance of an efficient and reliable rail system, cannot be overstated," said federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz in the House of Commons. "Last year alone over three-billion dollars in agricultural products were transported by rail in this country."
The new Act requires the railways to offer a service contract within 30 days to a potential shipper. If negotiations fall through, companies can seek arbitration through the Canadian Transportation Agency. The railways could be fined up to 100,000 dollars if they violate an arbitration agreement.
Ritz believes it will work. "What this does is make sure that both entities come to the table prepared to act in the best interests of the overall contract," he said.
The railways are questioning the need for the new regulations. But organizations like Pulse Canada welcome the government's move to improve accountability in rail service.
"In our sector we're looking at containers, container shipment lines, stuffing facilities and all of the people involved at the port," said Gordon Bacon with Pulse Canada, an organization that represents those who produce and process pulse crops like beans and lentils. "You can understand why it's important that we have consistency and reliability."
To become law the legislation requires approval from the House of Commons and the Senate. Ritz hopes the bill will be enacted in time for the 2013 shipping season

Read any good books lately?
The Hood River County Library Foundation is looking for readers to pick out a favorite book and then pledge money anytime anyone else checks it out.
Proceeds will go to the library expansion fundraising campaign. The project is called "20-20 Vision." It starts March 2 and is open to readers of all ages.
The 20-20 Vision goal is to raise funds for the library as well as to create interest in books and provide an enriching reading experience, according to library director June Knudson.
"This is a way people can contribute to the library as well as help create a kind of community-wide book circle," Knudson said. "It will be fascinating to see what books people like to recommend to others."
Here's how 20-20 Vision works: participants sponsor a book title, for $20, and pledge to pay $1 every time the book is checked out of the GorgeLink system -- up to 20 book loans. That way, sponsors are committed to no more than $40 per book. An individual or family can sponsor a book. Children can sponsor a book for $1.
Starting March 2, go to the library and write down your name and the title of a book you love, on sheets provided at the front counter. On March 9, the Hood River News will publish the list of books and sponsors' names. The library will count each book's loans.
On or about May 1, the Hood River News will publish the "results" up to that point; the final tally will be published in the June 5 edition of the Hood River News. Sponsors will voluntarily send in their pledges.
The Feb. 27 Kaleidoscope feature is "Beloved Books," a sampling of favorite books -- from Amazon reality to African adventure -- chosen by five Hood River County readers. Linked to this article are reviews by two of the readers.

Robert Kraft says Logan Mankins extension 'probably' coming soon
|08.10.11 at 2:20 pm ET
FOXBORO — An emotional Robert Kraft met with the media on the field at Gillette Stadium Wednesday, remembering his late wife Myra as "the real deal" and discussing the future of the Patriots.
One notable bit of information shared was that he was confident the team would sign two-time All-Pro guard Logan Mankins to a longterm extension. Kraft said the team planned carefully to lock up key members of the team including Tom Brady, Vince Wilfork and Stephen Gostkowski prior to the lockout and bring in other veterans on shorter deals in order to make it feasible to retain or add the players they desire.
"I hope that after locking up our core veterans and bringing in these seasons veterans as I call them, and probably you'll see our good friend Logan Mankins will be signed up soon hopefully to be a Patriot for life," Kraft said.
Though it hasn't always been smooth between the Patriots and Mankins' camp (he did not report to the team until Week last season over a contract dispute), Kraft said the team plans to keep the former 32nd overall pick around.
"If I have a vote it will get done," Kraft said. "The other side's got to want it too, but it's our desire — it's always been our desire — but'¦ you can't sign everyone you want, so you need to plan, and I think we did our planning knowing the kind of environment we were coming into, and we tried to position ourselves so we had our core veterans and we could continue to sign the people we want to sign. We very much — we think that Logan is among the best there is at his position. We drafted him and we want him. "
Kraft also downplayed any hard feelings between Mankins and the team.
"All I know is any face-to-face discussions I've had [with him] or private discussions have all been positive," Kraft said. "I just hope that he'll be a Patriot long-term."
