Compared to June, results are mixed.  Visits and Bandwidth are up.  Uniques, Page Views, and Hits are down.  It could still be a lot worse, given all my medical mayhem last month.

ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can’t be easily traced to a location..

Here are our top five articles:

We had 7 sites  with 2 or more referrals, down 3 from June.  Putting blogs’ links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this “linkey love” is our thank you for their referral support.

As of midnight August 1, we had 7,546 articles and 91,021 comments.

Congrats to SoINeedAName (Nameless) for posting the 91,000th comment.

I recommend using your own avatar. Go to Gravatar.  Sign up using the email address you use to post comments here and upload the image you want to use as your avatar.  Whenever you comment under that email address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that image will become your avatar.

Your Administrators are Lynn Squance, aka Sasquatch or Squatch, SoINeedAName, aka Nameless, and I, aka TomCat, the Founder.  Your Editors are Joanne Dixon, aka JD the Erynator and Lona Goudswaard, aka Lona the Napster.  I  promoted them from Author in August to give them the ability to add graphics to comments and the ability to correct my innumerable typos.

This is our policy on links.  We do not embed links to extreme Republican websites, like Faux Noise, Breitfart or World Nut Daily.  However I leave notes in square brackets when I delete such links, (example: [faux noise delinked]) so readers, who wish to follow them can click through to the source article.  I also remove topical links.  Finally, I blank the target on all links, so they open in a new tab or window. 

I expect things to stay relatively slow through the summer as I will be devoting a lot of time to medical mayhem.   We have survived seven months of Putin’s Puppet and his Republican Reich.  During that time he has failed almost across the board.  That’s your fault.  Your efforts to educate others and expose his treacherous dealings to the light of day have frustrated him at every turn.  Kudos to you all!  And special kudos to you for saving the ACA from a Republican onslaught that almost succeeded! Keep up the fantastic work!  Thank you for all that you do, here and elsewhere!

Poll Results – 8/2/2017

Here are the results of our “Republicans in Hellfire” poll.  Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories.   Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population.  Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect thinking of the majority of those who actually do think.

Since our polling site no longer enables us to copy and paste your poll comments, you may read them here.

I voted for all equally.

Well, after a couple polls that were all entertainment, the new poll brings up a very serious subject.  Illustrating your choices with examples would be ideal.

91-SoINeedAName

This is Nameless’ eighth Big Mouth Award, having won in September 2010, May 2010, July 2011, August 2011, December 2012, January 2015 and July 2015. And this is the first he’s won since becoming a Politics Plus Administrator with authority equal to my own. He regularly publishes hilarious "Friday Fun" articles. His comments add to the content of my and others’ articles with many useful links and graphics. His sense of humor is superb!  We could not be anywhere near as good without him

So, please heap all the praise and kudos on him that he so fully deserves!

PS. We won it discussing his porcelain throne!

What can I say?  I’m the only one that chose Ben & Jerry Cherry Garcia.  I’m sorry, but all you folks made the wrong choice. Winking smile

The new poll is up, so don’t forget to vote.  The consequences may be eternal.

This is our second Monthly Report for 2017.  There was no Report for May, because I had to go to the hospital for Pancreatitis, but the stats are mixed.  It could certainly be a lot worse, given all my medical mayhem this year

I voted both.  Opposing Trump and the Republican Reich is imperative, and so is presenting a strong progressive agenda.  While we must all stand together on its core elements, candidates need to emphasize those elements that resonate with their own constituents.

The New Poll is up and kudos to Nameless for the idea.  It’s guaranteed to challenge you all to the limits of your intellectual capacity and political knowledge.

After you vote…

90-Lona

Lona is still a denizen of Care2, a daily participant here, and a multinational treasure, who spends her time in the Netherlands and Queensland, Australia,  This is her fifth award, the first on 8/6/2015, shortly after she started commenting here, the second on 3/11/2016, her third on 4/4/2016, and her fourth on 7/30/2016.  Her knowledge of US Politics remains far greater than that of the average American voter. She enjoys sending me naps, when I am tired. She has also become an Author here, at Politics Plus, writing her "A View from Afar" series, in which she puts a European twist on current events, until she flips herself upside down, and switches her viewpoint to Oztralia, Before long, that will be a permanent flip.

Because the comment Lona Posted was an even multiple of ten thousand, I will be sending her a Politics Plus coffee mug.  She just sent me her shipping address, so I shall be customizing and ordering it later this week.  We ask that when she receives it, she will send us a picture of herself holding her mug.

Please join me in inundating her with hugs and kudos. I look forward to her sixth.

I voted All of the above, because he does have the right to declassify material, to do it was completely incompetent, and giving it to Russia did betray America.

The new poll is up.  After you vote…
