BUT if you fix a race so a particular political candidate will win enormous harm can be done and often is. There are different degrees of harm...from very little to incalculable. Yet cheating goes on and the cheaters are always very proud that they "won". What is there to be proud about when you "win" simply because you cheated/stacked the deck/fixed the outcome? less

The real Genius may be in a country far away using remote control methods to manipulate. How can you tell if what you see/hear is the real deal or a masquerade to insure that you're tricked/duped/played?

Then a Russian lobbyist with ties to the Kremlin. How many more? How many Russians does it take to bring down a country? All they need are willing co-conspirators or dupes. Easy pickings. They had Donald John Jr, Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner. Who else is caught in the Russian Nyet? Stay tuned.

One week, one month one year? Defects sometimes don't show up for years. Quality Control. Quality Assurance. Safety tests. Is there a specific science behind it or is it just scattershot hoping for the best? Cars are being recalled all the time. Is that normal?

This way, when I run people off the road, I have at least one hand available to throw a "friendly" gesture their way as I leave them in the dust.Today, I had no alternative. I had an appointment which ran later than expected and by the time I left, it was 1:30 pm. I realized I hadn't eaten all day and I was famished. I ran into a local shop to pick up something small to tide me over until I got home but, the smell of chili wafted through the air and up into my quivering nostrils. I experienced one of my rare food "O"s. So, I bought a small container of chili and proceeded to drive home. Have you ever tried to drive 50+ MPH while spooning chili into your chili hole? Take it from me, it's not easy. I had to take my hands off the wheel several times but that was okay, I just used my knees to steer. It worked out fine. I never spilled a dr... less

Look, there's no better place for solar than the Mexico border -- the southern border. And there is a very good chance we can do a solar wall, which would actually look good. But there is a very good chance we could do a solar wall.One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall — so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall.And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them -- they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As cray as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs. less
