Folks, I'm hearing that the alt-left is doing something very scary. They're getting into our Democratic Party -- used to be a great party (when I was in it), it's not great anymore, it's about to get MUCH WORSE. Because we have the alt-left pretending to be Dems. They're Fake Dems. And they're fooling people with their fake promises. Even in St. Louis, otherwise known as the home of the forgotten men and women of our country. Folks, I haven't forgotten you. And the Republican Party hasn't forgotten you. We're doing tax credits. We're doing expanded health savings accounts -- the universal healthcare I promised. And nobody can beat me on the economy (and jobs). New numbers coming out soon, you're going to see TREMENDOUS growth there. Don't get taken in. Don't waste your vote. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 🇺🇸 dailycaller.com/2018/07/23/conservative-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-rally
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE (JAPAN🍄). WE'VE CHANGED. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU, BE CAUTIOUS!!!!!!!!
So as to ensure that both sides of this decades-old conflict put a price on my head, I have - as-yet uninitialized - West Bank directories for both of Israel and Palestine.
I've devoted two solid years to trying to figure out how to list technology companies in disputed territories.
For me to list Kashmir as a territory in Pakistan is quite a serious criminal offense in India. I don't have any Kashmiri listings yet so I don't know how it will go, but quite likely I will have separate "Find a Computer Industry Job in Kashmir" for both of those sovereign nations.
The solution I eventually settled on this very night is that I will locate each company in the political location where the majority of its own employees regard themselves as citizens of.
That's quite simple for the Gaza Strip but not so simple for the West Bank: SodaFizz is located in the West Bank, and has more or less equal numbers of Israelis and Palestinians working side-by-side in peace and harmony.
I also replaced my "Buy Me A Coffee" Call To Action with:
Please Tell Us Where Your Company Is Located!
Because Soggy Jobs is a geographical index, we can't list you unless your website tells us what city your office is in. If you have more than one location, please list all of them on your site.
It usually works well for me to find all your locations on your Jobs or Careers page - but not always: it's quite common for technology firms to hire through their own websites without telling their applicants where they'll be working!
THX!

I Am Absolutely Serious: I've found lots of companies that I cannot list because they provide potential applicants with no way of determining which continent they'd be working on, let alone which timezone. Help Me.
I found absolutely none.
While Microsoft couldn't care less about Bing Image Search turning up adult men sodomizing their six year old daughters, Google is quite diligent about removing kiddiepr0n from it index. Even so it misses some, that is not hard at all for me to locate.

Do you take pride in your work?
I do; quite commonly my clients hate me for it. If you ask me for what you want, I will give you what you need.
Is There a Cause for Which You Would Give Your Life?
I'm working on that.
It is said that "Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is to act despite the presence of fear". I was once that way but now I am not courageous, but fearless. This leads me to do things that others regard as... not so much ill-advised, but damnfool ignorant if not actually batshit insane.
The man who molested me when I was a little boy collected child pornography.
In my plain sight he molested two others.
The only child pornography that he created - that I am aware of - I posed for. To the very best of my knowledge he did not sell it; many child pornographers give it away freely.
I am not real sure I will ever figure out how many psychiatric hospitals I have been in. If I tried I could count my suicide attempts but I would have to puzzle over them for a little while.
I hold the vast majority of law enforcement officers in the highest esteem. They work hard to do right by us all; more than once a cop or a deputy has saved my life.
But based on actual results I have come to regard some law enforcement officers, as well as at least some of the national intelligence agents, not just of the US but most countries, as total slackers.
Were that not the case, the Microsoft Bing Image Search cache would not be so chock full of kiddieporn. That so many sexually explicit photographs of children are hosted on Microsoft's own servers is evidenced by the availability of the images on Bing despite that their original servers are long-gone.
Quite clearly someone is taking out the child pornography servers. I remain puzzled that the kiddieporn is still available from Microsoft. It could not possibly be that Microsoft doesn't know about it, as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the International Telecommunication Union's Child Online Protection initiative, INTERPOL and the like notify Microsoft's friendly competitors when abusive imagery is hosted by such sites as Google's Blogspot
Quite commonly images served by Bing come from Blogspot, but Bing continues to display the image in search results after Google removes them.
Folks always think, "oh, Israel is a Jewish Country, it's the only Jewish Country." But, now it's official. Now it's the law. New law, they call it the Basic Law: Israel as the Nation State of the Jewish People. And it says Hebrew is the language. And Jerusalem is the capital. Officially! haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-passes-controversial-nation-state-bill-1.6291048
And you won't hear this from our Fake News Media. But I think I should get a lot of credit for this one. Because my predecessors said, "oh, Jerusalem is the capital." But they put our Embassy in Tel Aviv. And they left our Embassy in Tel Aviv. They said one thing. They did something else! Can we call that lying? I was the only guy that said, let's put our Embassy in the capital. We moved our Embassy -- for very little money. Very smart deal on that one. And maybe you're thinking, "that's not so great for the folks in Tel Aviv." Believe me, they're doing beautifully in Tel Aviv. Because we kept that one open, it's not our Embassy anymore. But it's a branch office.
President Putin also is helping Israel. And we both spoke with Bibi Netanyahu, and they would like to do certain things with respect to Syria, having to do with the safety of Israel.
So in that respect, we absolutely would like to work in order to help Israel. And Israel would be working with us. So both countries would work jointly.
And I think that when you look at all of the progress that’s been made in certain sections, with the eradication of ISIS, we’re about 98%, 99% there. And other things that have taken place that we’ve done, and that, frankly, Russia has helped us with in certain respects.
But I think that working with Israel is a great thing. And creating safety for Israel is something that both President Putin and I would like to see very much.
It is quite helpful to list _all_ the locations for a few multinationals. It's even more helpful for each of those multinationals to be headquartered in a different country.
Once I've got all their locations listed, I will then put some effort into finding local tech companies. That is, once I've discovered that Sophia Antipolis is a tech hub it is straightforward to find lots of other firms that have shops there.
Now there's a page for the European Union. I do not yet list all of the EU countries, rather I currently list only those countries in which I have found at least one tech company.
However I intend to devote some work towards finding at least one such company in every EU member state. This so as to avoid insulting anyone's national pride.
I also have a page that lists African countries. So far I only list two different companies but I'll list a whole lot more by this time tomorrow.
The Wall Street Journal just published "The 25 Top Tech Firms To Pay Attention To". I've listed about 17 of them so far. When I'm done with 2018's Top 25 list, I'll move on to 2017's, 2016's and so on
About a third of the WSJ's Top 25 have more than one location. So far I've listed one multinational but likely there are more.
Congratulations to France, who played extraordinary soccer, on winning the 2018 World Cup. Additionally, congratulations to President Putin and Russia for putting on a truly great World Cup Tournament -- one of the best ever! breitbart.com/sports/2018/07/15/party-begins-as-delirious-french-revel-in-world-cup-victory
Looking forward to meeting with President Putin in Helsinki tomorrow! Unfortunately, no matter how well I do at the Summit, if I was given the great city of Moscow -- always so much fun -- as retribution for all of the sins and evils committed by Russia over the years, I would return to criticism that it wasn’t good enough -- that I should have gotten Saint Petersburg in addition! Much of our news media is indeed the enemy of the people and all the Dems know how to do is RESIST & OBSTRUCT! This is why there is such HATRED & DISSENSION in our Country -- but at some point, I will heal it! 💉😷💉
Joint Press Conference from Helsinki, Finland: pscp.tv/w/bhy5sDFvTlFs…
This is a story. And I made it into a Sub. But I'm putting it in my journal too. Due to the very sad situation with OBSTRUCTIONIST Editors blocking my Subs. Enjoy!!!
"In an early morning tweet Tuesday, President Trump wrote: 'Getting ready to leave for Europe. First meeting - NATO. The U.S. is spending many times more than any other country in order to protect them. Not fair to the U.S. taxpayer. On top of that we lose $151 Billion on Trade with the European Union. Charge us big Tariffs (& Barriers)!'
And in another tweet President Trump wrote: 'NATO countries must pay MORE, the United States must pay LESS. Very Unfair!'
................
NATO was formed to defend against the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. But the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact died in 1991 – and NATO’s original mission died then as well. Soviet tanks are no longer primed to head into Europe to conquer our NATO partners. NATO is now a world-class military alliance looking for a mission." foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/10/trump-is-right-nato-is-obsolete-and-hes-delivering-that-message-loud-and-clear.html
"In a new assessment of the NATO spending and burden-sharing issues, the Center for Strategic and International Studies called Trump's language 'uniquely divisive' and said NATO members' contributions should be measured by more than simple budget numbers. The think tank was referring to the pledge at NATO's 2014 summit meeting that members would 'aim to move toward' spending at least 2 percent of gross domestic product on defense by 2024. By its count, only four of NATO's 29 member countries met the 2 percent goal in 2017. They were the U.S., Greece, Britain and Estonia." foxnews.com/us/2018/07/10/trumps-attacks-on-nato-raise-questions-about-its-future.html
Thank you, Estonia! We love Estonia. But unfortunately, very small Country. By the way here's the link to the Report. Graph 3 has the percentage of GDP. USA has the biggest percentage BY FAR. And the biggest GDP. So unfair! nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/pdf_2018_07/20180709_180710-pr2018-91-en.pdf
Great story about Judge Brett, I made a tweet to it, no problem. 2nd tweet, big problems. Because the Website told me "404 File Not Found." I didn't say, find me the 404 File. I was trying to tweet. And it kept telling me that. Then my tweet went through -- but it went through twice! Making me look very foolish. And now I'm trying to write in my journal. And it looks so different, it looks very special. Like Arik's tweets.
BEHOLD:
Search Google for Emmanuel Olusoji Ishola.
My intended move-out has been delayed somewhat by all the hookers and blow I've been availing myself of as a result of having received my check for my completion of the Fresco Logic FL2000 USB-VGA Adapter macOS function driver.
While my driver shipped to Fresco's OEM customers about a month ago, I don't think it's available to end-users yet. Once it is, I shall ensure that you sorry lot are the very _first_ to know.
