What You Think You Know About America's First Thanksgiving Is Probably Wrong
Whether we feast on turkey, seafood, or barbecue, may Thanksgiving 2019 enable us to count our blessings today, give thanks for the good in our past, and strengthen us for tomorrow.
What Kids In Portland Public Schools Learn About Thanksgiving: 'War Crimes' And Racism
Eighth-graders in the Antifa epicenter have the notion drummed into them that Thanksgiving really is a celebration of the genocide of the Indians by greedy capitalist Europeans.
NBC Writer Claimed Trump Rejected Native American Heritage Month. It Was A Lie
Like most matters the media seizes upon with President Trump, this allegation was simply untrue. But that dishonesty didn't stop the lie from spreading while the NBC writer doubled down.
The 1519 Project: How Early Spanish Explorers Took Down A Mass-Murdering Indigenous Cult
Five hundred years ago, Hernando Cortez and his native allies put an end to a gruesome regime with one of the greatest underdog victories ever recorded.
The Pilgrims Didn't Invent Thanksgiving, So Stop Blaming Them And Be Grateful
We should celebrate Thanksgiving as our ancestors did, a moment to reflect on the extraordinary blessings of our time.
The North American Martyrs Offer A Way To Atone For Historic Sins
The relationship between Europeans and the indigenous American peoples is often not reducible to the simplistic paradigm of aggressive colonizer and peaceful natives.
Cherokee Nation Blasts Elizabeth Warren For DNA Stunt: 'Inappropriate And Wrong'
'Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. . . Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.'
It's Not Laura Ingalls Wilder Who Is Prejudiced, It's The Librarians Smearing Her Legacy
In Laura Ingalls Wilder's books, her family shows entirely reasonable fear plus charitable, patient treatment of people whom long experience indicates may rape and scalp them. This is the opposite of racism. It is remarkable.
'Wind River' Grippingly Portrays America's Crime-Ridden Indian Reservations
'Wind River' isn't just a typical crime drama, it's also the story of how isolation changes people, both for the better and the worse.
In 'Hostiles,' Scott Cooper Offers A Grown-Up Western
Scott Cooper's 'Hostiles' accepts history's brutal realities rather than substituting political cant. Cooper is what historians used to be: one who doesn't fashion history to fit a political agenda.
Media Are Wrong To Say Trump's 'Pocahontas' Insult Of Warren Is Racist
These are not insults of Native Americans, but of people falsely claiming to be Native Americans. And one need not be that smart to understand that.
The First Thanksgiving Was Nothing Like What You Were Taught
Most Americans were taught a cartoonish version of the first Thanksgiving, but the history of the Pilgrims and Indians was far more complex—and harrowing.
Why 'Indigenous Peoples' Day' Is Far Worse Than Columbus Day
If we really want to commemorate horrifying, unspeakable violence and oppression in the Americas, I've got the perfect holiday: 'Indigenous Peoples' Day.'
Don't Get Fooled By Silly Comparisons Between Andrew Jackson And Donald Trump
When people compare different actors on the historical stage and express themselves from a political viewpoint, we can expect to end in the realm of the absurd or the downright ridiculous.
As 'The Highest-Regulated Race In The World,' Native Americans Suffer Horrors
After reading Naomi Riley's 'The New Trail of Tears,' one wonders: How many more American Indians have to be beaten, raped, and burned before we are ready to talk about why?
Refusing To Call The Cleveland Indians By Their Name Is An Absurd Idea
It wouldn't be out of bounds to ask sensitive Toronto folk to cast their eyes west and tell us why 'Eskimo' gets a pass while 'Indian' doesn't.
How Washington Is Regulating American Indians To Death
U.S. policies have turned Indian reservations into 'small third-world countries,' Naomi Schaefer Riley claims in her latest book.
Feds Invade Native American Gathering, Grab Property, Threaten Jail
No, it's not the 1800s. It's a twenty-first-century government with apparently nothing better to do than threaten Native Americans over owning molted eagle feathers.
The Redskins and The Wrong Side of History
The fight over the Redskins' name is a fight not just about how we make decisions, but how we decide what needs to be decided, and who will do the deciding.

A Cumberland man has been arrested on assault charges.
Police say they received a call about an assault in progress and when they arrived on the scene they found people coming out of a house of Gephart Drive yelling for help. When officers went inside, they found two men who were hurt, but didn't need medical attention.
After speaking to the victims and other witnesses, police determined that Christopher Peter Butler, 29, accused the victims of stealing from him, then attacked them.
Police arrested Butler and he is being held on $2500 bond.

Wrathion?General Discussion
With the removal of the cloak questline, Wrathion's only in game appearance is in the legendary dagger questline.Since then they've added him into the Betas of both WoD and BFA only to then remove him.My thought is that they want to return him, but since they removed the cloak quest, new players have no idea who he is or why he's important. And that makes reintroducing him a headache for the story team. I've actually been wondering lately if they plan to retcon him and just have the high mountain guy be the last black drake.
Let's talk about Horde BiasGeneral Discussion
I know this is a troll post but the history of this is something I've thought on a lot. Bear in mind, this is only my personal view of things:So, when the game was first created it had an Alliance bias. The alliances had an additional questing zone, the only in-game event (the great masquerade) and a much more convenient access to blackrock mountain where all the raids were (amongst other things). Blizzard did this because they believed the Alliance would be the most popular faction.They were wrong.And when it turned out that people would rather play as a diverse group of interesting races rat…

People with 370 ilvl getting 355 items does sound like a mistake. However those with less than 370 ilvl getting 370 is also probably a mistake.This change was not meant as a means to increase your character's power. The intended goal here was to make higher level Azerite gear more available to those who already reached those levels for the purpose of using them for alternate specs. Though it may happen, you are not supposed to be getting upgrades from this change, just side grades so you don't need to reforge all the time.

In determining whether evidence should have been excluded under Rule 403, a reviewing court must give great deference to the trial judge who saw and heard the evidence. Unfair prejudice means an undue tendency to suggest decision on an improper basis, commonly, though not necessarily, an emotional one. Confusion of the issues warrants exclusion of relevant evidence if admission of the evidence would lead to litigation of collateral issues. Admission of cumulative evidence bearing solely on credibility or impeachment is within the discretion of the trial judge. The general rule is that the balance should be struck in favor of admission.
Appellant Willi H. Dennis, was employed by the General Motors Assembly Division in St. Louis, Missouri. Dennis was engaged in money lending to fellow plant workers and others at twenty-five percent a week interest, a practice which he continued for almost a decade. On contested searches, certain documents were taken from Dennis that identified his debtors by name, amount of loan, interest paid and interest collected. He was named in a four-count grand jury indictment, charging a one-count violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Statute (RICO), 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c); two counts of collections of credit by extortionate means under ECT; and one count of obstruction of justice. Some charges were dropped, but ultimately, the jury found Dennis guilty on twelve counts and not guilty on six counts of violations of the Extortionate Credit Transactions Act and obstruction of justice. Challenging his convictions, Dennis asserted that there was an error in the admission of evidence seized pursuant to warrants, and a warrantless search of his automobile. Dennis also alleged that if reputation evidence was admissible, each count should have been tried separately to prevent confusion and prejudice.
Did the district court err in: (i) admitting evidence seized pursuant to warrants, and a warrantless search of his automobile; and, in (ii) not trying each count separately?
As to Dennis' first contention, the appellate court ruled that the warrants for records were for a permissible generic class and set reasonable parameters. Consent was voluntary as to the automobile, even though swayed by agents' statements that they would get a search warrant. According to the appellate court, after dismissing a principal count of the indictment, allowing the government a 46 day continuance to reassess its case arguably served the ends of justice and was not a denial of appellant's U.S. Const. amend. VI right. With regard to Dennis' second contention, the appellate court held that Dennis did not suffer any additional prejudice by having the offenses tried together. The appellate court opined that as the purpose of prior acts and reputation evidence in loansharking cases was to show intent, evidence of each offense would have been admissible on the element of intent at separate trials of each offense.

This book introduces listeners of all ages to forty women who changed the world. Featuring forty trailblazing black women in American history, Little Leaders educates and inspires as it relates true stories of breaking boundaries and achieving beyond expectations. Illuminating text brings to life both iconic and lesser-known female figures of Black history, such as abolitionist Sojourner Truth, pilot Bessie Coleman, chemist Alice Ball, politician Shirley Chisholm, mathematician Katherine Johnson, poet Maya Angelou, and filmmaker Julie Dash. Among these biographies, readers will find heroes, role models, and everyday women who did extraordinary things-bold women whose actions and beliefs contributed to making the world better for generations of girls and women to come. Whether they were putting pen to paper, soaring through the air, or speaking up for the rights of others, the women profiled in these pages were all taking a stand against a world that didn't always accept them. The leaders in this book may be little, but they all did something big and amazing, inspiring generations to come.

Good news for Opensim, which according to the latest monthly ranking curated by Maria Korolov for Hypergridbusiness saw active virtual worlds on its open source application platform get to the level of 303, for a total of 56,667 regions.
A success that you should certainly inexpensiveness of the platform, the costs of hosting start at a minimum of 5 dollars per month compared to 300 dollars a month for a Second Life's sim.
Most of these regions allow the use of "teleport" system ("hypergrid") to switch from one to another, just like in Second Life (with some exceptions: 4,093 regions are on "closed grid" ie allow access only to owners, while 52,555 are on "open grid" that is freely accessible by anyone).
Always according to Maria Korolov to the success in terms of new virtual land made available, also corresponds to a strong performance of new user registrations: the total would go up in January to 423,893, of which 25,620 actrive in the latest month (in Dicember the number was still under 25 thousand), a number which, btw, remains a fraction compared to the population of "residents" of the Linden Lab's proprietary platform (according to Gridsurvey's numbers the total number of registered users in SL is now over 41.17 million, of which from 30 to 50 thousand connected simultaneously during the day) and that remains the core of mistrust by many paid content creators, about the start of their own business on Opensim.
Certainly, as the low costs allow many educational and cultural projects to realize its facilities or entire virtual worlds on OpenSim for a fraction of fixed costs that would pay on Second Life, the number of active users on a monthly basis can be distorted by the presence of many of these institutions and projects.
However, it remains the feeling that untill the interest in virtual worlds in general, maybe thanks to the gradual mass adoption of 3D viewers as Oculus Rift (to whose technology also OpenSim is fully compatible), will not rise again, the range of Opensim will remain more limited than those, already not huge, of Second Life, also because it is the management of a virtual world and the time commitment that this require the real barrier that keeps away the bulk of users (that are not necessarily creative and/or artists) and companies ("virtual" or "real" you want) from such technology.
Anyway here's the list of the five most active virtual worlds on Opensim in the month of January 2015: as they say well begun is half done.
- InWorldz: 7,645 active users
- Metropolis: 3,502 active users
- Avination: 1,625 active users
- Craft World: 1,009 active users
- Kitely: 1.,003 active users

When you visit a place for the first time the last thing you want to do is be stuck researching what to see and do while you're there. Experienced travelers know it's helpful to see tips and recommendations from fellow travelers. Below you'll find a list of 8 things to do while visiting Beijing along with an Instagram shot by someone who actually did them. Let us know what you think of this list.
Top eight things to do in Beijing according to a traveler who's been there.
- Spend a day at the "Great Wall" of China at Badaling, or try the older "Simatai" part of the great wall.
- Visit the magnificent Xiang Shan Gong Yuan and the Beijing Botanical Gardens, located to the west of the city- a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
- Visit the Summer Palace (Yi He Yuan) located in the south-east of the city centre and also the Old Palace (Yuan Ming Yuan).
- Visit the beautiful and fabulous Yong He Gong (Lama Temple) in the north of the city centre. Mostly renowned as Beijing's largest Buddhist temple.
- Why not take an early morning or an evening stroll in Tiananmen Square, and to make it more special, you can watch the daily flag hoisting and lowering ceremonies at sunrise and sunset respectively.
- No trip to Beijing is complete with a visit to the famous "Quan Ju De" Roast Duck restaurant where you can indulge in eating fine roast duck meat. The restaurant on 32 Qianmen Avenue is famous for entertaining many foreign dignitaries and VIPs who come to this restaurant for its scrumptious roasted duck.
- Take a relaxing rickshaw ride or walk around the many Hutongs that surround the Forbidden City. It's best to ask before you take photographs of the locals and make sure you don't get lost as the Hutongs are famous for having many turns.
- Xidan and Wangfujing are two of Beijing's biggest shopping areas, attracting many local and foreign tourists alike. Both of these shopping malls are respectively located at either side of the centre of Beijing.

Mahasati Meditation
The primary form of insight meditation practiced at the Center is Mahasati Insight meditation, which is a type of Vipassana meditation originating from Southeast Asia. Mahasati in Pali means "great awareness." The objective of Mahasati meditation is the elimination of suffering through the clear seeing and understanding of the body and mind in the present moment. The practice is based on the teaching of the twentieth century Thai meditation master, Luangpor Teean Jittasubho.
Rather than using the breath as the primary object of awareness, Mahasati meditation uses attention to the movement of the body as an anchor to the present moment. When one's mindfulness is strong enough, attention is then turned to the observation of the movement of the mind in the present moment. Formal, seated meditation practice involves a pattern of repetitive hand movements, generally performed with the eyes open. Periods of seated meditation are interspersed with walking meditation.
Because this practice is performed with the body moving and the eyes open, the mind is generally more alert than in seated breath meditation, and insight is recognized more easily. It is also easier to integrate this practice into one's daily life. Diligent practice ultimately leads to a direct and profound understanding of the origins of suffering in human experience and points the way toward ultimate liberation.
While Mahasati meditation has its roots in Buddhism, it is not necessary to accept any type of religious doctrine in order to practice. There are also no rituals associated with this teaching, making it easy to practice conjointly with any other form of religious practice. More information about this form of insight meditation can be found on our parent site, Mahasati Insight Meditation Association.

Philippines makes bigger play for global MICE market
Tourism official says country has already proven its expertise in organising and hosting large-scale conferences and meetings
by Meetings and Conventions Asia | November 01, 2019
MANILA - The Philippines is making a play to corner a significant share of the international MICE market, after its successful hosting of several international meetings and conferences over the years.
In his welcome speech at the recent MICECONnect 2019 in Manila, Undersecretary for Tourism Development Planning Benito C. Bengzon Jr of the Department of Tourism (DOT) announced major MICE events that will be held in the country in the coming years, reported the Business Mirror.
The events include the FIABCI (International Real Estate Federation) World Congress in 2020; the International Congress on Sustainable Tourism in Fragile Ecosystems in 2020; the Ecotourism Travel Mart for 2020 and 2021; the International Conference in Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners Conference in 2021; and the Kiwanis International Convention in 2022.
Mr Bengzon noted the Philippines has already proven its expertise in organising and hosting large-scale conferences and meetings, making it an ideal destination for MICE.
For one, the country hosted the Asean Summit in April and November 2017, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in November 2015, the Asian Development Bank Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors in 2012 and 2018.
This was proof, he said, that "we are more than capable to mount large-scale events and conferences. Across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, you will find well-equipped convention centres that are strategically located around the vicinity of international and domestic airports; international chains and local five-star hotels providing convenient service for tourists."
Mr Bengzon noted that these key areas offer not only the best tourism products and services with vast opportunities for business, but also have "consistently growing local economies which have attracted investors to build hotel and meeting facilities".
"Complementing these are existing advantages such as an English-speaking work force, world-class facilities and ease of doing business in the country," he added.
On top of the MICE activities that can be held in the country, visitors can enjoy unique experiences in the Philippines through experiential and immersive activities, Mr Bengzon pointed out.
"These activities may be promoted as part of incentive packages, included in official conference programs of MICE events, or even as part of a bleisure (business and leisure) trip, where delegates may extend their stay to see more of our beautiful country and learn about our culture and our people."
The DOT also aims to increase the total number of usable space for exhibitions to over 170,895sqm by 2030 from 71,000sqm in 2017, and targets an annual 3% rise in MICE arrivals.

Government officials have admitted that claimant's comments used in an official benefit sanctions information leaflet were "for illustrative purposes only".
The revelation comes in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request from Welfare Weekly, in which we questioned whether the comments used in the leaflet were of a genuine or fake nature.
Welfare Weekly asked the DWP to provide any evidence or information to prove that the comments used in the publication were from "genuine" claimants.
Within days of submitting our request to the DWP, the original information leaflet suddenly disappeared from the government's website without explanation.
However, we had already downloaded a copy of the leaflet (pdf) in anticipation of the response to our FOI request.
That leaflet included comments from two sickness benefit claimants who had supposedly been affected by benefit sanctions, Zac and Sarah.
According to the leaflet, Zac had said: "I let my work coach know in advance that I couldn't go to our meeting because I had a hospital appointment.
"I had a good reason for not going to the meeting and proof of the appointment. My benefit payment hasn't changed and we booked another meeting I could get to."
While Susan had allegedly said: "I didn't think a CV would help me but my work coach told me that all employers need one. I didn't have a good reason for not doing it and I was told I'd lose some of my payment. I decided to complete the CV and told my work coach.
"I got a letter to say my benefit would go down for two weeks. I was told it was longer than a week because I missed a meeting with my work coach back in March.
"My benefit is back to normal now and I'm really pleased with how my CV looks. It's going to help me when I'm ready to go back to work."
However, Welfare Weekly can reveal that neither of these comments came from genuine Employment and Support Allowance claimants.
Both comment's were completely made up and included to "help people understand when sanctions can be applied and how they can avoid them by taking certain actions", according to the DWP.
The response to our Freedom of Information request reads:
"The photos used are stock photos and along with the names do not belong to real claimants.
"The stories are for illustrative purposes only.
"We want to help people understand when sanctions can be applied and how they can avoid them by taking certain actions. Using practical examples can help us achieve this.
"We have temporarily changed the pictures to silhouettes and added a note to make it more clear that these are illustrative examples only.
"We will test both versions of the factsheet with claimants and external stakeholders to further improve it in the future. This will include working with external organisations."

Since 2014 action flick John Wick exceeded expectations at the box office, the franchise has spawned two film sequels, comic books and even an upcoming Starz television spinoff titled The Continental. However, it looks like The Continental might be missing one key figure. Ian McShane, who plays the hotel's manager Winston in the movies, revealed that he doesn't plan to appear on the show.
Asked if he would appear on the series, McShane told RottenTomatoes, "No, but I may give 'em a voiceover. A series, no. They talked about that."
RELATED: John Wick TV Spinoff in Development At Starz
There could be several reasons for this, chief among them is that John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum isn't out yet; until it drops, we don't know what will happen with McShane's character. It's a very real possibility that Winston could be dead by the time the third movie is over, leading to the hotel finding new management.
This could also be the result of McShane's schedule. Over the next couple of months, Ian McShane will appear in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the second season of American Gods, jazz legend Buddy Bolden's biopic Bolden, the new Hellboy movie and the long-awaited Deadwood capper on HBO.
RELATED: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum Trailer Is Violently Beautiful
Despite a lack of involvement from McShane, Lance Reddick -- who plays Charon in the films -- has expressed interest in returning to the role for The Continental, though nothing has been confirmed thus far. Keanu Reeves is expected to make an appearance on the series, but the focal point will be the hotel itself, which is ripe for story potential and can introduce new characters from episode to episode in an organic way.
Chris Collins, whose previous credits include The Wire, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Sons of Anarchy, will write the series and serve as showrunner. He will also act as an executive producer along with John Wick co-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, franchise screenwriter Derek Kolstad and Keanu Reeves.
Written by Derek Kolstad and directed by Chad Stahelski, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum releases on May 17, 2019 in the United States. It will star Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne, Halle Berry, Jason Mantzoukas, Jerome Flynn, Robin Lord Taylor, Anjelica Huston, and NBA big man Boban Marjanovic.

'strikes, Poor Funding Bane Of Tertiary Education'
Nigeria Student Forum / Educational News / 'strikes, Poor Funding Bane Of Tertiary Education'
(Go Down)
Incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and poor budgetary allocations to education by the Federal Government are major concerns of university teachers in Anambra State.
The first woman professor of Mass Communication in Nigeria, Stella Chinyere Okunna, and former Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (Unizik) in Awka, Prof Ilochi Okafor (SAN), expressed their concerns during the first International Conference by the Professor Ezenwa Ohaeto Resource Centre, held at the Chike Okoli Resource Centre at UNIZIK.
The event also featured a book presentation entitled: On Justice, Equity and Dignity: Recreating 'Womanbeing' in Contemporary African Society , edited by Dr Ngozi Ezenwa-Ohaeto and Ijeoma Nwajiaku.
Okunna, who has also served as the Anambra State Commissioner for Information and later Chief of Staff to former Governor Peter Obi, was the lead paper presenter.
She said poor funding results in the degeneration of teaching facilities and incessant strikes by ASUU.
Okunna said the government could improve teaching facilities in tertiary institutions by increasing both recurrent and capital expenditure.
She said: "The Federal Government's intervention to tertiary institutions in Nigeria is nothing to write home about. The government at all levels must fund education properly if the economy must develop and move fast like the Asian Tigers.
"Collapse in education standards and disruption of academic activities are the consequences of government interventions in education sector while adequate and proper funding as well as reorientation of the private sector to take interest in funding education are the only ways to rejuvenate education sector in Nigeria."
Okafor, who chaired the event, said there was enough money in Nigeria to fund education, but lamented that it was being mismanaged by politicians.
The duo was not alone. They were supported by a Zimbabwean Profesor of History, Vongai Nyawo, who identified cultism and lack of adequate funding as two major threats in the education sector of Nigeria and other African countries.
Convener of the event Dr Ngozi Ezenwa-Ohaeto said the conference was aimed at stimulating critical discourse among teachers in tertiary institutions.
She informed that the core values of the resource centre was built around Ezenwa-Ohaeto, who won laurels and brought fame to Nigerian and African literature.

Sale of tobacco products near schools and playgrounds is continuing in full swing in different parts of the country, mostly to attract children to consume those, finds a recent study.
The government prohibited selling tobacco products, such as cigarette, bidi and gul, to persons under 18 and set a target to make Bangladesh tobacco-free by 2040, but allowing such an activity will hinder the progress, it added.
Dhaka Ahsania Mission in association with Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, an international anti-tobacco organisation, conducted the study in 12 districts, including all divisional cities, in December 2017.
The findings of the study titled "Big Tobacco Tiny Target in Bangladesh" were unveiled at a discussion held at the Mission's office in the capital yesterday.
After surveying 180 locations -- including 157 schools and 23 playgrounds in those districts -- the study identified 673 spots within 100 metres of those locations where tobacco products [both smoking and smokeless] were being sold.
Of those sales points, more than 82 percent displayed advertisements of the products through stickers, empty packets, and posters -- violating existing laws.
More than half of the sales points were set up adjacent to products that are popular among children, such as candy, chocolate, and toys, said the report.
Besides, tobacco companies often give discounts and offer gifts for buying their products, which further attracts children, it added.
As selling tobacco products near schools and playgrounds is not banned according to the tobacco control act, the study suggested that the government amend the law for children's wellbeing.
Asked about the delay in publishing the study report, Mokhlesur Rahman, one of the lead researchers, said the data they collected was verified multiple times and it was analysed by the Campaign authorities, causing the delay.
"We revisited some of the locations this year and found almost the same situation in most of the cases," said Mokhlesur, also an assistant director of Ahsania Mission.
Speaking as the chief guest at the discussion, Mohibul Hassan Chowdhury, deputy minister for education, assured that they will take necessary steps to stop selling tobacco products adjacent to educational institutions.

The National Association of Realtors is psyched.
Arguably the country's most powerful housing lobby, the 1.2 million-member trade group sees the new Democrat-controlled Congress as a golden opportunity to pass legislation it and other industry organizations have long-favored, even with a Republican president in the White House for at least two more years.
Housing has been presented with "an opportunity to move major legislation that we haven't had for years," Jerry Giovaniello, senior vice president of NAR's government affairs group, said at the association's annual convention in New Orleans earlier this month.
"We haven't had a major housing bill since 1992. A lot of people have been left out of the 70 percent ownership rate."
Not only that, but the trade group, whose membership cuts across almost all real estate disciplines, has the muscle to make things happen. It's political action committee -- RPAC -- is the country's largest, and it spends its money freely.
Interestingly, a majority of RPAC's contributions -- 53 percent -- went to Republicans in the last cycle. And the Realtor-supported candidate won in "only" 92 percent of the races, which is a little lower than normal for NAR "but still pretty good," according to Giovaniello. "People who support us cut across party lines."
Regardless of who is going to Washington, there's a good chance NAR knows him or her pretty well already, thanks to its million-plus-member grass roots system that starts with local elections and moves up the political ladder from there. "We know these people," the group's chief lobbyist said at the convention. "We make out friends before we need them."
NAR has its nose in numerous issues, all of which Giovaniello claims "have always been bipartisan." Chief among them is its long-running effort to keep banks out of the real estate brokerage and management business.
For six years, the group has been able to convince Congress to block a joint Federal Reserve Board-Treasury Department rule that would allow banks to move onto NAR members' turf. But it has had to do so on a year-by-year basis.
Now, though, it hopes to have the guns necessary to make the ban permanent, if not in the lame duck session which is scheduled to go through Christmas, then certainly when the 110th Congress convenes in January. After all, 230 congressman and 24 senators who have already signed on to the NAR-favored Community Choice in Real Estate Act will be back in 2007.
Also next year, NAR expects the probable new chairman of the House Banking Committee, Rep. Barney Frank, to focus more on affordable housing and less on predatory lending. Describing the Massachusetts Democrat as "reasonable" and "pragmatic," staff lobbyist Lynn King told a convention briefing that Rep. Frank "is no fan or regulators who attempt to legislate by regulation."
Another "top priority" Realtor issue is flood insurance, which Mark Washko, another staff lobbyist -- NAR has dozens -- expects to be brought up early in the new year. NAR supports map modernization and higher premiums for repetitive-loss properties when their owners refuse government offers of mitigation. But it wants Uncle Sam to continue subsidizing second homes, vacation homes and rental properties that are in harm's way.
Hand-in-hand with that issue is the creation of a national disaster policy. The intensity of natural disasters in recent years has made it difficult for home owners to obtain coverage and, if they can find it, to pay the premiums. Since obtaining a mortgage is contingent on securing coverage in disaster-prone areas, NAR supports a federally-backed catastrophic insurance program.
Insurance is "the No. 1 problem in some places," David Lereah, the group's chief economist, told a press briefing. "Costs have increased ten-fold in some areas of Florida."
The trade group is holding out hope that lawmakers will add language that will update the Federal Housing Administration to one of the 11 appropriations measures that will be considered during the lame-duck session.
"Anything can happen," said Gary Weaver, managing director in NAR's public policy office. "But it's a very narrow window. So if (FHA reform) doesn't happen this year, it will be one of our big goals in 2007."
Moreover, with Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., expected to head their respective housing subcommittees, Mr. Weaver expects affordable housing -- and therefore the FHA -- to have a "high profile" next year. "Both legislators are outspoken advocates for affordable housing," he said.
Specifically, the NAR as well as other housing finance interests want to eliminate the FHA's 3 percent downpayment requirement, increase its loan limits, raise the cap on loan terms to 40 years, allow the agency to switch to risk-based pricing, move the condominium loan program to the single-family loan fund, and strike the limit on reverse mortgages.
NAR also is a strong proponent of legislation to reform the government-sponsored housing enterprises. "We've got to get the FHA and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back on track and working in every state," Giovaniello said.
Lereah called the big Democratic congressional win a "positive turn."
"From a regulatory perspective, I think it's great," the economist said. "The Bush White House, a White House that has been pro-banking, not pro-real estate, has been declawed."
As he sees it, the GSEs have "had their hands tied behind their backs" while the administration and Congress battle over which agency will regulate the agencies and how to control the growth of their retained portfolios. But not for much longer.
"Now I see something different," Lereah said. "They will get a tough regulator, but they will be able to participate in a robust way once again. That's very good for all of us."
The NAR senior vice president also called on the group to take a leadership roll with regard to housing policy.
"We are the biggest association in America and I think the most powerful," he said. "We should develop our own housing agenda and lead rather than follow."
