  8. They had one of these at Eastec last year which is a Machine tool trade show. This is a game changer in as much as it does not require a skilled computer programmer to operate and can easily be swapped from one task to another.

  14. Chester Alan Arthur (October 5, 1829 – November 18, 1886) was an American attorney and politician who served as the 21st President of the United States (1881–85); he succeeded James A. Garfield upon the latter's assassination. At the outset, Arthur struggled to overcome a slightly negative reputation, which stemmed from his early career in politics as part of New York's Republican political machine. He succeeded by embracing the cause of civil service reform. His advocacy for, and subsequent enforcement of, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was the centerpiece of his administration. Arthur was born in Fairfield, Vermont, grew up in upstate New York, and practiced law in New York City. He served as quartermaster general in the New York Militia during the American Civil War. Following the war, he devoted more time to Republican politics and quickly rose in the political machine run by New York Senator Roscoe Conkling. Appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant to the lucrative and politically powerful post of Collector of the Port of New York in 1871, Arthur was an important supporter of Conkling and the Stalwart faction of the Republican Party. In 1878, the new president, Rutherford B. Hayes, fired Arthur as part of a plan to reform the federal patronage system in New York. When Garfield won the Republican nomination for president in 1880, Arthur, an eastern Stalwart, was nominated for vice president to balance the ticket. After just half a year as vice president, Arthur found himself in the executive mansion due to the assassination of his predecessor. To the surprise of reformers, Arthur took up the cause of reform, though it had once led to his expulsion from office. He signed the Pendleton Act into law and strongly enforced its provisions. He gained praise for his veto of a Rivers and Harbors Act that would have appropriated federal funds in a manner he thought excessive. He presided over the rebirth of the United States Navy, but was criticized for failing to alleviate the federal budget surplus, which had been accumulating since the end of the Civil War. Suffering from poor health, Arthur made only a limited effort to secure the Republican Party's nomination in 1884; he retired at the close of his term. Journalist Alexander McClure later wrote, "No man ever entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted as Chester Alan Arthur, and no one ever retired ... more generally respected, alike by political friend and foe."[3] Although his failing health and political temperament combined to make his administration less active than a modern presidency, he earned praise among contemporaries for his solid performance in office. The New York World summed up Arthur's presidency at his death in 1886: "No duty was neglected in his administration, and no adventurous project alarmed the nation."[4] Mark Twain wrote of him, "t would be hard indeed to better President Arthur's administration."[5] Over the 20th and 21st centuries, however, Arthur's reputation mostly faded among the public.
  15. Not even the DNC is retarded enough to run Clinton again. No Way in Hell!!!
  16. Yes but the Clinton foundation only has value through the offices the Clinton's held. The same cannot be said of Trumps Hotels. As a skilled dot connector surely you can see a difference.
  17. Actually I do see a parallel. The Clinton's put their daughter in charge of the Clinton foundation which they used as a break between Hillary and Bill. The thing is Trump runs a bunch of high end hotels in New York and other cities that may already have the kind of clientele that would include heads of state and people in a position of influence who may have stayed prior to Trump winning the WH. Either way if he has no control over the day to day operations and is essentially a share holder at best it would make for a tougher influence peddling racket to prosecute than the one the AG gave a pass to against the Clinton"s.
  18. On January 20 2017 would it be fair to say? Our healthcare system is in worse shape than it was 8 years earlier and who knows how many billions more expensive? Our National debt doubled in 8 years prior? We are still actively engaged in wars that we were not engaged in 8 years prior? Is Gitmo still open after 8 years?
  19. In case you have not connected the dots yet she is James Carville in a dress.
  20. Israel already has a plan, buy them out. Jews are buying up real estate around Jerusalem in neighborhoods that are traditionally Palestinian. I give the Palestinians 10 years before they are not strong enough in numbers or political power where they would even be able to negotiate a two state solution. I think they have passed up one two many peace treaty's and now they are just going to wither.
  21. I would say it will be sometime before the left gets back on their happy meds.
  22. The FBI gave both parties a warning about cyber security early last year. The repubs spent real money to improve their security the Dems did not. My 12 year old would not have fell for the trick Podesta got played on which just goes to show the Dems only think they are the smartest people in the room.
  23. Slingers super powers to connect dots is severely hampered when a (D) is involved.
  24. Loretta Lynch is who is to blame for Comey being in a spot to make his own decisions not Giuliani. And the meet and greet on the tarmac was shenanigans.
  25. My point is Texas has a very balanced look towards energy that may have a place in the national discussion. So yes a Governor from the state of Texas might be useful.
