The irrational hysteria over Trump and Putin
By Steve McCann
American Thinker
July 17, 2018
I spent a good part of yesterday watching the vast army of those incapable of generating an original thought – namely, the majority of talking heads on radio and television as well as politicians in both parties, droning on about the disaster that was the Trump-Putin press conference in Helsinki. Once the first narrative was proffered by one of this gaggle, the rest dutifully repeated the talking points as if they were ventriloquist dummies. The bottom line: Trump is a buffoon inalterably subservient to the puppet master, thus betraying his country.
Having watched the press conference, I did not come away this inane version of events.
I come to this subject matter of Donald Trump as someone, during the primary season of 2016, who was unalterably opposed to him, going so far as to write an article, "Why I cannot vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton." However, in November, when standing in the voting booth, staring at the ballot and the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency, I voted for Trump. I am still bothered by some of his mannerisms and, at times, his buffoonish governing style as well as his refusal to address out-of-control spending. But, on the whole I am gratified that he has successfully pursued a predominantly conservative agenda at home and an America First agenda overseas, despite the constant ankle-biting by the mainstream media and the Washington Establishment's determined use of its considerable arsenal to marginalize and ultimately obliterate his presidency.
Regarding the Helsinki press conference and his performance, I come to that issue from the perspective of someone who has experienced firsthand the horrors and the travails of those who survived the most devastating war in human history and the travails extant in the immediate aftermath. I do not wish to see, in my lifetime or in the future, the world again subject to a conflict of that magnitude, made possible by a careless remark or insult or the egocentricity of a megalomaniac.
There is no question that Russia and China are this nation's primary geopolitical foes. While the current Russian Federation is not as powerful as its predecessor, the Soviet Union, it is, nonetheless, a formidable adversary, particularly with Putin at the helm. There is little doubt that the Russians spied on the United States and attempted to sow the seeds of discontent during the 2016 election. Almost as soon as the old Soviet Union was born in the 1920s, it, as national policy, cast a wide net of espionage and destabilization throughout Europe and America. America responded slowly and did not fully reciprocate with its own espionage activities until after World War II and the dawning of the Cold War. This chess match is now approaching its 90th anniversary.
However, it was the Obama cabal, including the hierarchy of the intelligence services, together with the now left-wing Democratic Party in alliance with the mainstream media that changed the understanding and rules of the game. In a planned and well executed strategy highlighted by shouting from the rooftops about fictitious collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign, the old rules were discarded as the special counsel, Robert Mueller, has been forced, in order to justify his existence, to criminally indict numerous Russian nationals who will never stand trial in the United States.
This derisible tactic is not only unprecedented in the international spy and destabilization game, but foolish beyond measure, as similar retaliation for American spying is now on the table. Listening to the reaction of the rabble to Trump's performance at the Helsinki press conference, one would assume that the only acceptable course for him to take was to verbally punch Putin in the nose.
Why are those so eager to see Trump humiliated and undermined so willing to denigrate and provoke this nation's historical rival? What purpose would it have served to gratuitously insult Putin in front of the entire world? Is destroying Trump of such paramount importance that the potential of Russian retaliation could escalate into further reprisals on both sides leading to a possible lethal conflict as Putin is first and foremost a nationalist and not the most stable of international leaders?
Could Trump have chosen his words better regarding his confidence in the American intelligence community? Yes. But after nearly 18 months of unrelenting leaks and harassment, this same group, led by Robert Mueller, has made it exceedingly difficult to govern, and his annoyance and frustration bubbled out. It should not have, but, nonetheless, it is understandable, as 14 months of Mueller's investigations has revealed no criminal activity by the Trump campaign despite desperately seeking collusion under every rock.
Unlike so many others, I do not want any president of the United States to gratuitously and publicly insult an adversary, be it Russia or China, but instead to hammer out difficult issues in private. Over the history of mankind, too many conflicts and resultant casualties have occurred because of the egocentricity of the leaders over minor issues. Regardless of the hysteria, the Russian attempt to sow chaos during the 2016 election season is a minor issue, as the attempt was not only largely unsuccessful, but amateurishly executed.
Thank you, Donald Trump, for not succumbing to the rabble and instead leaving the door open for candid communication with Russia when and if a major crisis rears its ugly head.

But they don't. And opening the borders NOW means they never will. We do have to bring up Latin America. It is very much in our interests to do so. Hillary isn't wrong about wanting hemispheric free markets, free trade, green energy, and - eventually - the free flow of people. She's wrong in that she wants to start with the easy part: open borders, and she assumes that somehow that will lead to the rest.
Yes she is wrong and you are a globalist shill. Puke.

Putin looks pretty current. Don't you agree?
"I thought about something just now:The decision to nationalize this library was made by the first Soviet government, whose composition was 80-85 percent Jewish,"
Putin said June 13 during a visit to Moscow’s Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center.

How you coming along with that Average Velocity for the 75 foot segment ending at 1950 ft?It came along quite well. Anything that travels 1950 feet in 1.06 seconds travels an average velocity of 2122.64 feet per second. The formula is distance divided by time.
How are you coming along with your bullet going splat at ~520 feet ground distance from Mandalay Bay?
How did you work out that negative 33º angle?
Side a represents the vertical height of Paddock's vantage point. At the 32nd floor, and at 10.9 feet per floor, (32-1) x 10.9 = 338 feet.
The VxH specified shooting angle was -33°. This should probably be expressed as a positive angle of declination. Not all ballistic calculators will even accept a negative angle value, but specify 0 to 90 degrees.
For another calculator, see:
http://gundata.org/blog/post/223-ballistics-chart/
It appears that VxH drew an imaginary horizontal line d at a vertical height of 338 feet from the ground, and an imaginary 338 foot line e down to the ground, bringing into view a rectangle with a mirror image triangle to that above.
VxH guessed 33º as the acute angle formed at the junction of sides c and imaginary side d at point B. VxH guessed very wrongly.
With a specified shooting angle of 33º at the junction of lines c and d, the angle made by sides c and b would also be 33º, and angle ß, made by sides a and c would be 57º. (The right angle at point A is 90º. The other two angles must add up to 90º.)
With side a being 338 feet, side b would be 520.4743578 feet, and side c would be 620.5944 feet.
As may be seen, disregarding gravity, if the bullet flew downward at the specified 33º from a height of 338 feet, it would fly a straight line of sight path into the ground at ~520 feet from the Mandalay Bay at ground level.
Calculating the bullet velocity after that point may be difficult, even with secret Klingon math.

Damn, you are more screwed up than I thought.
Now you are presenting a triangle with side a being 338 feet, side b being 1290 feet 7 inches (1290.5833 ft), and an hypotenuse of 1009 ft 4 in. I positively can't remember the last triangle I saw where the hypotenuse was shorter than one of the sides. Your Klingon math is magic, and Google Sketchup is a miracle worker.
If side a is 338 ft, and the angle of elevation of 14.7º rises to that height of 338 ft, side b will be 1264.283557 feet. So, the hypotenuse is impossible, and side b is whack by 26 feet.
If the angle of elevation is 14.7 degrees, and the range is 1290' 7", then the height would be 345.0311072 feet and each floor would be over 11 feet.
Put down Google sketch and pick up a scientific calculator and do some trigonometry. You can actually get correct results with trig.

You do the math.
- - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
As soon as you publish your proof for your mathematical formula c < b.
Even a complete jackass, such as yourself, can see from your original play picture, from your #181 to which I linked, that you showed a hypotenuse of 1009' 4".
Your original play picture shows part of a circle with a radius of 338'.
Your second play picture displays the same radius of the circle as 338' on an up/down line. On a somewhat downward slanting horizontal line, you added a new measurement of the radius of that same circle at 324' 6". How the radius shrinks on one side by 11' 6" is not explained. It's a magic circle, or magic math.
1009' 4" + 338' is 1347' 4".
1009' 4" + 324' 6" is 1333' 10".
Keep changing that side radius distance, make believe it was part of the original hypotenuse, until you get your math to work.
What the magic circle with the changing radius is doing there is a mystery. The difference between level travel to end point and travel from elevation to end point is c - b, not the vertical distance of the elevation.
The 338' up/down radius of the circle indicates the elevation of the shooter, and the circle indicates you had an irresistable impulse to draw a circle and make believe the radius was something other than 338' at another angle. 338' was a stated distance of elevation. 324' 6" appears to be a figure plucked from your ass.
Given angles A (14.70°) and C (90.00°) and side a (338') —
side B and angles b and c may be readily calculated —
just not to the values you give them.
A = 14.70°
B = ?º
C = 90.00°
a = 338.00 ft
b = ? ft
c = ? ft
A + B + C = 180º
A + B = 90º
B = 90-Aº
B = 75.30º
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)
c = sin(C) * a

"I didn't rescale the circle for the purpose of determining the angle. So - No bigee with the radius 324' 6" - the dimensions still add up for the hypotenuse."
WRONG.
Your claim of a radius of 324' 6" is just bullshit pulled out of your ass.
Your incorrect hypotenuse is still 1009' 4" + the actual radius length 338' = 1347' 4". Your newly minted hypotenuse of 1333.83 feet, using data pulled from your ass, is still WRONG.
If you change the circle to a 324' 6" radius, the 1009' 4" section of the hypotenuse would need to expand 13' 6" to 1022' 10" to reach the radius circle.
In any case, I gave you the formulas and your "calculations" leave out any calculations and all your results are wrong.
You still have both 338 and 324' 6" in your number puzzle.
On the first line you list 338 and 114244. Nobody asked you what the square of 338 is.
On the second line you list 1290.5833333333 and 1665605.34027778. Nobody asked you what the square of 1290' 7" is.
You were asked to solve for side b, not pull the figure 1290' 7" out of your ass and square it.
Use the trig function and discover that the figure 1290' 7" is mathematically impossible. An angle of elevation of 14.7° does not reach an elevation of 338' at a distance of 1290' 7". I gave you the formula. I can't help it if you are too dumb, stupid, ignorant, and incompetent to use the formula. Pulling 1290 feet out of your ass is not a mathematical solution to side b.
On your third line you list the sum of 338 squared and 1290' 7" squared.
This would be the hypotenuse if you had properly solved for side b using the trig formula b = sin(B) * a / sin(A). That does not give 1290' 7".
The hypotenuse, solved with the formula c = sin(C) * a is not 1333.83.
Indeed, your wacky diagram at the bottom shows the distance of 1333' 11" and at the top of the rectangle shows 1009' 4" and 324' 6" which adds to 1333' 10". Of course, this relied on you fudging the 324' 6" distance by 13' 6". Unfortunately, c = sin(C) * a does not solve to 1333 anything using the known, given figures of A=14.70°, C=90°, and a=338'. The three given figures dictate what the remaining sides and angles MUST be.
Side a can be 338 or 324' 6", but it cannot be both. It is 338' as the given height of the window.
324' 6" is just a bullshit number, pulled out of your ass. It does not belong to anything but your imagination.
You are a mathematically incompetent nincompoop.

GFYS Douchebag, The Sides add up.
The sides no longer add up to a right triangle, shithead. Now how, no way. What an arrogant but stupid prick who can't do simle math.
338 feet was calculated by a given floor/ceiling measurement of 10.9 feet per floor, multiplied by 31 = 337.9 feet, which would put Paddock standing on the 32nd floor.
After you shorten side a to 324.60 feet, and retain hypotenuse c at 1333.83, and side b at 1290.58 feet, it is impossible to retain a right traingle as it is a mathematical certainty that angle C will be greater than 90°. You will also have changed angle a to 14.08°, angle b to 75.36°. Angle c will be 90.56°. And Paddock will fall to the 30th floor.
As you changed the triangle so it is no longer a right triangle, the formula for right triangles a2 + b2 = c2 no longer works.
Congratulations, your spider infested mind just gave birth to a misshapen mess which I shall christen Gollum's Triangle.
As can readily be visualized, if you shorten side a by 13½ feet, and keep the dimensions of b and c, side a must leave its vertical position and fall away from point A as that is the only way the two lines remain connected. The 13½ foot shortening drops Paddock to the 30th floor, and the departure from the vertical drops him some more. Line B-C is supposed to be representing the elevation from the ground to Paddock's window. You can arbitrarily just change a figure on your cartoon, but Paddock's window did not actually move.
If you shorten side a to 324.60, and you retain the vertical side to a right triangle, and retain the angle of elevation at 14.70°, then you must get side b at 1237.30 feet and side c at 1279.17 feet. The hypotenuse, side c or line B-A has been shortened 54.66 feet.
))) I love how you think changing one measurement of a triangle does not change anything else.
There are only 3 sides and 3 angles to a triangle. All of the miscellaneous lines you drew beyond that are just surplus bullshit.
You have presented Gollum's Triangle, a misshapen pile of shit. Just because you draw it in the shape of a right triangle does not mean the associated data makes a right triangle possible.
Where's your MATH?
A = 14.70°
B = ?º
C = 90.00°
a = 324.60 ft
b = ? ft
c = ? ft
A + B + C = 180º
A + B = 90º
B = 90-Aº
B = 75.30º
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)
c = sin(C) * a

WRONG.
Get the fuck out of here.
If A=14.70°, side a = 338' and side b = 1290.58'
then angle B = 75.68° and angle C = 89.62°
and hypotenuse c = 1331.95'
Of course, with angle C being 89.62°, you have another misshapen Gollum Triangle, not a right triangle. With your given data, it is a mathematical impossibility to have a right triangle. It is impossible to have angle C be 90°. Trig does not lie. You do. Your stipulated angle of 14.70 and sides of 338 and 1290.58 cannot make a right triangle.
As you cannot possibly have a right triangle, you application of a formula applicable only to right triangles yields bullshit results.
You get two different figures for hypotenuse c, 1334.11 and 1333.83, both of them wrong.
With sides of 338, 1334.11 and 1290.58, you cannot get a right triangle with an angles of 14.70 and 75.30.
Provide 3 sides and 3 angles that are not mathematically impossible to work with each other to form a right triangle.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
You created two radii, one being 338' and the other 324.5'. All radii of the same circle are the same length. You get your choice of one.
If the radius is 338', then the hypotenuse is 1009.33 + 338 = 1347.33 as shown in your cartoon #1.
You can't fudge your figures by 13.5' by claiming two radii of different lengths.
Your figures are still a mess.
With angle A = 14.70°, angle C = 90° and side a = 338',
Angle B = 75.30°, side b = 1288.38' and hypotenuse c = 1331.98', as sure as
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)

Try it with trig when you learn how. The figures actually work.
Side b is not 1290.5833 if the angle of elevation is 14.70° or you do not have a right triangle. You have yet to describe how you determined the length of side b is 1290.5833 feet.
Hypotenuse c is not 1334.1099.
Nor is hypotenuse c is 1009.33 + 338 = 1347.33' as per your first cartoon.
Nor can you even make believe hypotenuse c is 1009.33 + 324.5 = 1033.8 as per your revised cartoon with two different radii.
With a 324.5' radius you lose your right triangle.
With a 338' radius your bullshit cartoon yields a hypotenuse of 1347.33.

With a 338' radius your bullshit cartoon yields a hypotenuse of 1347.33.BZZZT!
324.5+1009.33= 1333.83
324.5+1009.33= 1333.83
324.5 is the imaginary radius of a circle in your cartoon when the radius is not 338 on the other side of the cartoon circle. It is useful to obtain imaginary results.

Very well shithead. Here is the math which confirms you are a mathematics illiterate shithead. The mission was to find a right triangle with Angle a being 14.70 degrees and side a being 338 feet long. You look like you are monkey, standing in a crowded stadium at centerfield, fucking a football. You FAILED.
The problem is given an elevation of 338 feet and an angle of elevation of 14.70 degrees, find the right triangle which accurately depicts the given two pieces of data, with accurate angles and accurate lengths of the remaining side and hypotenuse.
There are only six data points. They are the three sides of a right triangle representing length, and the three angles of the triangle. All else on your cartoon was surplus bullshit.
For the given data of 338 feet and 14.70°, and 90° for a right triangle, the other three data points are a calculated mathematical certainty. The certainty is that your stated results are incompatible with the given data points.
To make this simple for those not mathematically inclined, one may use CoSinCalc.com and enter data and let them present a triangle with all sides and angles presented. CoSinCalc.com gives results to two decimal places, plus the mathematical formulas used to derive the unknown data.
At the link is their depiction of the triangle that results from entering angle A 14.70° and angle B 90°, and side a 338 feet.
Angle B = 75.30°. Side b [AC] = 1288.38 feet. Hypotenuse c [AB] = 1331.98 feet.
http://cossincalc.com/#angle_a=14.7&side_a=338&angle_b=&side_b=&angle_c=90&side_c=&angle_unit=degree
Just hit the "Calculator" button to reset for data entry of whatever you choose, such as the VxH imaginary data. It does not work for a reason — it is bullshit.

For the more mathematically inclined,
The sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent values of an angle are constants, not variables.
To find sin(14.70) on a scientific calculator
- press the button marked sin.
- the calculator displays sin(

- the calculator shows sin(14.70)
- press the button marked =

sin(a) = opp/hyp
With a right triangle, the length of the side opposite angle a, divided by the length of the hypotenuse, equals 0.253757945.
cos(a) = adj/hyp
tan(a) = opp/adj
csc(a) = 1/sin(a) = hyp/opp
sec(a) = 1/cos(a) = hyp/adj
cot(a) = 1/tan(a) = adj/opp

sin(14.70) is always 0.253757945
cos(14.70) is always 0.967267753

csc(14.70) is always 3.940763319

sin(75.30) = 0.9672677528
sin(90.00) = 1
In a right triangle, one with a 90° angle, given the length of one side, and either acute angle, one may accurately calculate the remaining angle and the lengths of the other two sides.
With a specific acute angle, such as 14.70°, the sides are always in a specific relational proportion. Knowing the length on any one side absolutely dictates the lengths of the other two sides, to be compatible with the given angle.
Point A of our triangle is at ground level. Point B is represents the stated elevation of 338 feet. Point C is at represents level directly below Point B.
A line drawn from point A rising at 14.70° will eventually rise to a height of 338 feet. Walking along the horizontal line AC eventually leads to the point where a vertical line upward would transect the rising line AB precisely where the elevation of 338 feet is reached.
The line BC ends at the given elevation of 338 feet.
The results from CoSinCalc.com were:
Angle A = 14.70
Angle B = 75.30°
Angle C = 90.00°
Side a (B to C) = 338 feet
Side b (A to C) = 1288.38
Hypotenuse c (A to B) = 1331.98
- - - - - - - - - -
Using the scientific calculator to more decimal places, the same calculations are:
Angle B = 180° - 14.70° - 90.00° = 75.30°
side b = sin(B) * a/sin(A)
side b = sin(75.30°) * 338 / sin(14.70°)
side b = 0.9672677528 * 338 / 0.253757945
side b = 326.9672677528 / 0.253757945
side b = 1288.500613 feet
side c = sin(C) * a/sin(A)
side c = sin(90.00°) * 338 / sin(14.70°)
side c = 338/0.253757945
side c = 1331.978 feet

Now let us examne the VxH nonsense. His original angle of elevation was 33°, but I pointed out that would mean Paddock's shots would have been closer to his own big toe than the fairgrounds. Then the angle of elevation was changed by proclamation to 14.70°
VxH has never explained how his side b distance of 1290 feet 7 inches or 1290.5833333333 feet was derived. Although asked for, no calculation or explanation has been provided.
Using side 1290.583333333 and 338, and an angle of elevation of 14.70 degrees, the trig functions reveal that, at said angle of elevation, the elevation itself is not reached at a distance of 1290.583333333 feet, but at 1288.500613 feet. The side b length is whack by 2 feet.
https://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=56433&Disp=53#C53
His hypotenuse is calculated as a2 + b2 = c2 or 1334.1099430998. This is calculated using the mysteriously appearing side b data, which is whack by 2 feet.
Then it is alternately stated as 324.5+1009.33 = 1333.83
What 324.5 or 1009.33 represent is left a mystery. Added together, they equal 1333.83, representing nothing in particular.
The cartoon has a circle with radius 1 and radius 2; and a triangle with hypotenuse 1 and hypotenuse 2; and a side just dropped in with no explanation of how it was calculated, or if it was calculated or just proclaimed. In any case. the claimed side b length is whack by 2 feet.
When drawing a right triangle with side a of 338 feet, angle A of 14.70 degrees, and side b of 1290.5833333333, CosSinCalc.com provides the resulting Gollum Triangle:
As one may see, with Angle a specified as 14.70°, and sides a and b specified as 338 feet and 1290.583333333 feet,
Angle B is 75.68° and
Angle C is 89.62°
and the triangle contains no angle of 90°
Oh shit, that's not good.
Hypotenuse c becomes 1331.95 feet, as opposed to his stated result of 1334.1099430998 feet. This is because his sides, combined with the specified angle of 14.70 degrees, requires that the 90° angle b change to 89.62°, and what was a vertical line to transect the hypotenuse is now tilted toward point A, shortening the length of the hypotenuse.
As I previously pointed out, a2 + b2 = c2 only works for right triangles. His length of hypotenuse c is calculated with an inapplicable formula as his side b, and when combined with the stipulated angle a of 14.70°, is incompatible with a right triangle.
We can try to fix this using angles 14.70° and 90° and side 1290.583333333 feet.
Oh dear.
As one may see, with Angle a specified as 14.70°, and Angle c specified as 90°, and side b as 1290.583333333 feet, the right triangle is forced by data entry of the 90° angle, but side a, the elevation of 338 feet is now impossible and must be raised 7 inches.
When solving for an angle of elevation of 14.70° and an elevation of 338.00 feet, results incompatible with 14.70° or 338.00 feet are shit.
Well, hell, let's just try the three VxH sides:
Entering side a=338 feet and side b=1290.583333333 feet and hypotenuse c=1334.1099430998 feet we get,
Angle A = 14.68°
Angle B = 75.32°
Angle C = 90.00°
Oh shit again! The resulting triangle is incompatible with the angle of elevation of 14.70°.
When solving for an angle of elevation of 14.70° and an elevation of 338.00 feet, results incompatible with 14.70° or 338.00 feet are shit.
The VxH Gollum Triangle is incompatible with the specified angle of elevation, the elevation itself, or the necessity of a 90 degree angle to make a vertical line and a right triangle.

I can observe the truth is that wormholes are all around us, only they're too small to see. Wormholes are very tiny. They occur in nooks and crannies in space and time. You might find it a tough concept, but stay with me.
Nothing is flat or solid. If you look closely enough at anything you'll find holes and wrinkles in it. It's a basic physical principle, and it even applies to time. Even something as smooth as a pool ball has tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids. Now it's easy to show that this is true in the first three dimensions. But trust me, it's also true of the fourth dimension. There are tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids in time. Down at the smallest of scales, smaller even than molecules, smaller than atoms, we get to a place called the quantum foam. This is where wormholes exist. Tiny tunnels or shortcuts through space and time constantly form, disappear, and reform within this quantum world. And they actually link two separate places and two different times.
But this is only introductory to the theory that "time is a derivative function of state-change which progresses relative to E within the inertial frame(s) it is observed in."

LOLDo the Math OComrade Donkey Breath.
A Squared + B Squared = C Squared.
EPIC FAIL. Your Dr. Math shows you how to do a2 + b2 = c2. It does not show you how to create a right triangle with acute angles of 14.70° and 85.30°. Your grammar school math does not work for that.
You still provide no means by which you derived side b of 1290.583333333 feet. Given only one side, 338 feet, it is not possible to derive either of the other two sides using a2 + b2 = c2. So you just made up 1290.583333333 which looks impressive with seven decimal places, but what did you use to "calculate" it. Don't be bashful. Do tell. Show us the "math" that you used.
Your right triangle, with those sides, is incompatible with the given angle of elevation of 14.70°. So, still, all you have is a pile of incorrect shit. At a 14.70° angle of elevation, and at a distance of 1290.583333333 feet, the altitude reached in not 368 feet.
Keep fucking that football while the stadium looks on. Keep trying with the grade school math, super genius. And remember you have specified angles of 14.70° and 90° and opposite the 14.70° angle you have a specified side of 338 feet. Those are given data, not variables.
As you know all about "Time is a derivative function of state-change which progresses relative to E within the inertial frame(s) it is observed in," surely you have the math skills to find the sides and angles of a right triangle.
Let's see your three rib-tickling sides again:
Entering side a=338 feet and side b=1290.583333333 feet and hypotenuse c=1334.1099430998 feet we get,
Angle A = 14.68°
Angle B = 75.32°
Angle C = 90.00°
Still fucked! The resulting triangle is incompatible with the angle of elevation of 14.70°. Your triangle is the wrong size and shape.
When solving for an angle of elevation of 14.70° and an elevation of 338.00 feet, results incompatible with 14.70° or 338.00 feet are shit. You've got shit.
The VxH Gollum Triangle is incompatible with the specified angle of elevation, the elevation itself, or the necessity of a 90 degree angle to make a vertical line and a right triangle.

Yawn, as has been explained multiple times - the model was a SKETCH with left over elements that were not re-scaled when I updated the model with your 338 elevation.
Given angle A [14.70°] and side a [338 feet], you state side b at 1290.583333333 feet. Provide the calculations for that one without trig, Mr. Mathematical Super Genius.
VxH - mathematics super genius
The only mathematics super genius who
- is fluent regarding Einstein's General Theory of Relativity
- is fluent regarding Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity
- understands what he means when he says, "Time is a derivative function of state-change which progresses relative to E within the inertial frame(s) it is observed in."
- understands what he means when he says, "I've moved on with a revised curve that reconstructs time from Velocity and Distance, ..."
- understands what he means when he says, "the next step in the quest is to explore methods of deriving Time relative to the slope of the DIFFERENCE between Vmin and Vmax for a given vector segment."
And with all the mathematical super genius horsepower that implies, he has not a mathematical clue how to derive the sides and angles of a right triangle, given angle a and side a. It summons a vision of Einstein faced with the same problem, sitting there utterly stumped by a problem requiring nothing beyond high school math.
With angle a stated as 14.70 degrees, and side a stated as 338 feet, VxH simply summons side b at 1290.583333333 feet, an impossible value with the given, stated values and a right triangle. VxH did not use trig, and offers no explanation of how side b could be mathematically derived without trig. Indeed, he offers no explanation or computation regarding how side b was derived.
And jackass continues to make believe he has not been proven to be absolutely full of shit.

The average velocity of any object covering 1950 feet in 0.86 seconds is 1950/0.86 = 2267.4419 feet per second. It could be a flying refrigerator. If it goes 1950 feet in 0.86 seconds, the average velocity is 2267.4419 [feet per second].The object could have sped up and slowed down between 0 and 1950 feet in any manner and it makes no difference. If the object covers the 1950 feet in 0.86 seconds, the average velocity for the 1950 foot distance is 2267.4419 [feet per second].
Recall the Khan Academy video you previously referenced:
Video transcript- [Instructor] Pretend you are a physics student. You are just getting out of class. You were walking home when you remembered that there was a Galaxy Wars marathon on tonight, so you'd do what every physics student would do: run. You're pretty motivated to get home, so say you start running at six meters per second. Maybe it's been a while since the last time you ran, so you have to slow down a little bit to two meters per second. When you get a little closer to home, you say: "No, Captain Antares wouldn't give up "and I'm not giving up either", and you start running at eight meters per second and you make it home just in time for the opening music. These numbers are values of the instantaneous speed. The instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment in time.
And if you include the direction with that speed, you get the instantaneous velocity. In other words, eight meters per second to the right was the instantaneously velocity of this person at that particular moment in time.
Note that this is different from the average velocity. If your home was 1,000 meters away from school and it took you a total of 200 seconds to get there, your average velocity would be five meters per second, which doesn't necessarily equal the instantaneous velocities at particular points on your trip.
In other words, let's say you jogged 60 meters in a time of 15 seconds. During this time you were speeding up and slowing down and changing your speed at every moment. Regardless of the speeding up or slowing down that took place during this path, your average velocity's still just gonna be four meters per second to the right; or, if you like, positive four meters per second.

VxH simply summons side b at 1290.583333333 feet[VxH #65] I didn't summon it, I sketched it.
Given angle A [14.70°] and side a [338 feet], you state side b at 1290.583333333 feet. Provide the calculations for that one without trig, Mr. Mathematical Super Genius.
HOW DID YOU DERIVE THE LENGTH OF 1290.583333333 FEET, Super Genius????
The resulting triangle is incompatible with the angle of elevation of 14.70°. Your triangle is the wrong size and shape.
Try CosSinCalc.com Why do your shit numbers NOT WORK?
When solving for an angle of elevation of 14.70° and an elevation of 338.00 feet, results incompatible with 14.70° or 338.00 feet are shit. You've still got shit.
Show us your math, shithead. Dazzle us with your brilliance using Google Sketchup. Show how you used that renowned mathematical tool.

Your bullshit example here says,
REQUIRED DATA ENTRY
sin A = opp/hyp = a/c
sin B = adj/hyp = b/c
Where did you get the value of B which was data entry on this bullshit?????
You can draw whatever you want with your etch-a-sketch, but that does not mean it reflects reality.
Your right triangle calculator states that you must enter the values for TWO sides and one of the two angles, a or b. Your chosen calculator automatically enters 90 degrees for angle c, and is not subject to user modification.
Your problem is that you are given angle A of 14.70 degrees and side a of 338 feet, and you must solve for sides b and c. You cannot just pull 1290.583333333 out of your ass to nine decimal places, and just enter it and make believe you just solved for it.
With number of decimal places set to 1, the value of side b of 1290.583333333 is OBVIOUS DIRECT DATA INPUT.
With side a of 338 feet and angle A given as 14.70, the 90° angle C is impossible, as is the 75.30° angle B. As you have here used a calculator which does not calculate angles based on trig functions, it does not recognize angle incompatibility. On the bright side, your new calculator does give you the trig tables they say are needed for side and angle functions of a right triangle, as when you only know one side value. Try using them. If you can figure out how to use them, you will not look like such a fucking yukonesque idiot.
As you have chosen to use a CALCULATOR OF RIGHT TRIANGLES, the value of angle C is forced to 90°. Your chosen calculator makes it 90°. Your calculator assumes the jackass operator is actually inputting data for a right triangle.

What you excised from your calculator.
http://www.csgnetwork.com/righttricalc.html
Right Triangle Angle And Side CalculatorThis calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers.
This calculator is designed to give the two unknown factors in a right triangle, assuming two factors are known. This calculator is for a right triangle only! The factors are the lengths of the sides and one of the two angles, other than the right angle. All values should be in positive values but decimals are allowed and valid. Fill in two (only two) values then click on Calculate. The other two other modifiable values will be filled in, along with the angle 3 field. In a triangle, all interior angles total to 180 degrees. No two angles can total to 180 degrees or more. Angle C is always 90 degrees; angle 3 is either angle B or angle A, whichever is NOT entered. Angle 3 and Angle C fields are NOT user modifiable.
Again, this right triangle calculator works when you fill in 2 fields in the triangle angles, or the triangle sides. Angle C and angle 3 cannot be entered.
In case you need them, here are the Trig Triangle Formula Tables, the Triangle Angle Calculator is also available for angle only calculations.
The problem presents sides b and c as unknown factors and cannot be solved by using your Right Triangle Angle and Side Calculator.

Only one conclusion is possible. You fucked up again.

So you scraped your known approximate distance off an outhouse wall, where the approximate distance was given to nine decimal places, or measured to the billionth of a foot. Get the fuck out of here.

As for 1290.583333333 feet being a known approximate distance for the shooter, what source, or sources, did that figure come from, and why do you consider it so authoritative that you assume it as a given measure????
Did you scrape it off an outhouse wall at MIT, Rensselaer, or Cal Poly?
A Google search of "1290.583333333" hits nothing but the three current threads on Liberty's Flame.
Without quotation marks is the same.

The only apparent source of your magic number, inaccurate to 9 decimal places, is yourself doing direct data entry of the bullshit magic number you invented.

Las Vegas shooting: Answering 4 common questionsLucas M Thomas, lthomas@dvtnv.com
Published 1:48 p.m. MT Oct. 5, 2017 | Updated 1:58 p.m. MT Oct. 5, 2017[excerpt]
How far can rifle bullets travel, and how far away from the Mandalay Bay was the concert?
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said the weapons found in Paddock's hotel room ranged in caliber from .223 to .308. The concert venue for the Route 91 Harvest Festival was approximately 1,100 feet away from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay.

The trigonometry of terror: Why the Las Vegas shooting was so deadlyBy Geoffrey Mohan
Los Angeles Times
Oct 04, 2017 | 9:54 AMArthur B. Alphin is well acquainted with the trigonometry of terror.
The retired Army lieutenant colonel and West Point graduate, who has a mechanical engineering degree and specialized in ballistics, has testified in many multiple-shooting cases.
What he sees so far about Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock is a patient, well-trained gunner who did not pick and choose his targets, but held to a steady kill zone centered in the middle of thousands of concertgoers.
Once the trigger was pulled, simple laws of physics and trigonometry sealed the fate of more than 500 people who would fall wounded in the ensuing fracas — 59 of them fatally.
"He had a huge area of three, four or five football fields with people standing shoulder to shoulder," Alphin said. "He was not aiming at any individual person. He was just throwing bullets in a huge 'beaten zone.'"
Beaten zone is an infantry term dating to World War I. Shaped like the area a searchlight casts across a flat surface, it represents the area where bullets can strike, and moves substantially with tiny changes in the tilt of the gun.
If the shooter shifted by about 1 degree, or the width of two fingers held at arm's length, Alphin said, the beaten zone would fall outside the crowd.
"That's all the distance you have to move and you aren't hitting anybody," Alphin said. "So he had to be pointing or aiming at the very center of mass and then bouncing all over with the recoil."
From a perch 320 feet above ground in a hotel whose base was about 1,050 feet from the concert venue, Paddock was firing down the 1,098-foot hypotenuse of a right triangle — and would have to adjust his aim for the arc of the bullet over that distance.

How the Las Vegas mass shooting happened — hundreds of shots from 1,200 feet awayBy Jason Silverstein
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Oct 02, 2017 | 4:38 PMThe gunman who killed at least 58 people and injured more than 500 at an outdoor Las Vegas concert Sunday fired hundreds of rounds from an automatic rifle within mere minutes — and from more than 1,000 feet away.
[snip]
- - - - - - - - - -
The second lesson from Las Vegas is that the geometry of Paddock’s attack rendered security measures ineffective—even those of Las Vegas, a city with thousands of armed police and security guards on duty around the clock, surveillance cameras covering nearly every inch of ground, and a sophisticated police department with a robust SWAT capability. Paddock apparently fired on concertgoers from a room on the 32nd story of the Mandalay Bay hotel, across the street and approximately 400 meters from the concert.
400 meters is approximately 1312.3 feet.

Gunman’s Vantage Point and Preparations Opened the Way for Mass SlaughterBy C. J. Chivers, Thomas Gibbons-Neff and Adam Goldman
Oct. 2, 2017
From his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Stephen Paddock would have looked down upon a crowd of more than 20,000 people, surging to the final sets of a country music festival.
He opened fire late Sunday, killing at least 59 people and injuring 527 others in one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history, the authorities said.
But what may have seemed like a difficult feat, firing across an urban area and into a crowd from about 500 yards away — the equivalent of several football fields — appears to have been offset by Mr. Paddock’s preparations, which made it possible for him to inflict mass carnage.
[snip]
About 500 yards away is about 1500 feet away.

For an actual KNOWN distance, where angle A is 14.70°, and side a of a right triangle is 338 feet,
tan A = tan(14.70) = 0.2623450889 = opp/adj = a/b
0.2623450889 = 338/b
b = 338 / 0.2623450889
b = 1288.379369
- - - - - - - - - -
Or,
tan B = tan(75.30) = 3.81177328 = opp/adj = b/a
3.81177328 = b/338
b = 338 * 3.81177328
b = 1288.379369
- - - - - - - - - -
side b is not approximately 1290.58 to any number of imaginary decimal places.
side b is 1288.379369.
For someone who claims abilities in Einstein's General and Special Theories of Relativity, Calculus, and the theoretical physics math of time travel, you exhibit an inability to do basic high school math when called upon to calculate the sides and angles of a right triangle with angle A of 14.70° and side a of 338 feet.
Your donkey sure has a hard time with details and decimal precision settings.
What a congenital fuckwit. You make up an incorrect side b to 9 decimal places of inaccuracy and imprecision, and fail to realize you still look like a monkey fucking a football in the middle of the stadium. Keep fucking that football. Keep demonstrating you can only talk about math but can't do it.
Approximate to 9 decimal places of inaccuracy! Approximate to the billionth of the wrong foot! You are good for comic relief.
