Facebook Charges Variable Fees To Send Messages To People Whether You Know Them Or Not
Merriam-Webster defines social media as “forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos).” Social media was sold to all of us as the great connecting force where we’d all be able to interact regardless […]
Zionists Have No Reason To Lie To Promote Their Agenda, Right?
(I have to put a disclaimer in posts like this because the purveyors of dialectical perfidy will attempt to spin it in the most diabolical way possible if I don’t. Therefore, I am in no way supportive of terrorism on any side of any conflict. Also, there are plenty of outlets regurgitating the story that one side would have […]

Jennifer Emick: Stalker - By Her Own Definition
Earlier today, the “patriot hactivist” known as The Jester (@th3j35t3r) tweeted a series of lulz about the behavior of one Jennifer Emick (@asherahresearch). Hiding behind plants and recording someone’s movements isn’t weird at all. 1 of 3 - Two years ago @asherahresearch decided I was Tom Ryan, so she hid behind a plant & ‘secretly’ filmed him: youtube.com/watch?v=5R_KlJ… […]
Updated: 2 Black Teens Arrested - Was Antonio Angel Santiago the victim of integration-related violence?
Steve Bogira, a white reporter at the decidedly left-leaning Chicago Reader, asked if a murdered black six-month old wasn’t gunned down by just some black gang banger — no, he postulated that the killer might have been ‘segregation’ [Was Jonylah Watkins the victim of segregation-related violence?:Gangs aren’t the only problem in Woodlawn, Chicago Reader, 3-20-13]. Well, […]
“Are you not sure you don’t wish to cancel?” – The Problem With Offshore Development
I often share the story about the image above. This image is a replication of a dialog box within a software application that was developed by a team of Russian offshore developers. On this side of the pond, our internal team joked about this for weeks. Our foreign friends, initially embarrassed by the garble, came […]
Contrasting Tweets of the Day - The Swede, Rand Paul, and Pablo Neruda the Communist Poet
My good pal Tom (@FreedomJedi on Twitter) is on the ball today. How very anti-Lagom of him. Yes, he’s Swedish. Moments before Rand tweeted something along the lines of a used car salesman with regard to his position on illegal aliens, Tom pointed out a post by the daily caller’s Neil Munro that highlights Rand’s recent […]
Homosexuality Isn’t Conservative
Last week, Cliff Kincaid, Director of Journalism at Accuracy In Media (AIM), wrote a piece about the recent whinefest gripping pseudo-conservative circles regarding why GOProud, a rather boorish homosexual identity politics organization, wasn’t allowed to be a co-sponsor of CPAC 2013. His piece went largely unnoticed for several days until people started tweeting about it a day ago. In […]
Filibusters and (f)ederalism
After finally getting a chance, over this past weekend, to listen to Senator Rand Paul’s entire epic 12+ hour filibuster, several things jumped out at me that haven’t been widely reported. So, I’d like to share my take with the readers of The Trenches and, hopefully, help to bring into focus the larger picture. As […]
