It's a word that our society has deemed negative to describe people who aren't being honest with themselves or others. That's 100% true. But in the hockey world, the word "fake" is seen and experienced in a totally different context, which I will get to in a second. But first, we've all heard the expression "fake it till you make it". Ever hear that in the business world? I have. A ton. And while perception can be an influencer in certain high- end industries, the quality of the product or service is always the pillar foundation of all organizations.
My wife and I built Perfect Skating while driving two fairly beat up Honda Odyssey's. I remember them like it was yesterday. They handled all of our business activities during the day and doubled as people movers around the various rinks with our 4 kids at night. And boy, did we ever crank the miles on those things, we drove those vans for like 5 years to 350,000K. I even rolled in to various rinks with my good old 1999 van to train NHL players. They didn't care one bit. The service we provide is elite and thats what matters.
We look back now and it's funny, but it's part of our story, and our journey of growth. That doesn't mean I am knocking Honda Odyssey's, they are awesome, so awesome in fact that my wife still drives one, albeit not with 350,000K on it!
Fake it until you make it in business? Save your bacon. Fake out your opponent and you're bringing home the bacon!
Faking is so important in all athletic endeavours it almost seems like it's a lost layer of performance. Coaches think it's old school, that we've heard it before, that it's not sexy, it's not Cirque de Soleil. We've made great strides and lead the hockey performance industry because of innovation, there is no question. But we've made equal strides by providing a better understanding, a better language and a better teaching platform with the good old stuff. Faking is one of them and it gets me fired up every time I get the chance to share the concept with people.
The concept? It's easy. Think of tag...
The best way to understand "faking" is watching a group of kids play tag out in the school yard at recess. As the game goes on and whittles down to 3 or 4 kids, you start to see the underlying pattern. The kids who are now sitting on the side cheering for one of their friends all moved in a fairly consistent way. Unilateral directions that we're easy to angle. No bilateral movement. No fakes.
The remaining kids are now buzzing with increased speed, the game ramps up and a whole new world of "fakes" becomes part of the creation of each player. Ultimately the kid who can out fake their opponent wins the game. The winner doesn't always have to be the prototypical alpha male. You see this in all different types of animal populations where a weaker male or female is head of the tribe. One could argue that in the context of tag, some athleticism is certainly present amongst all participants. The argument for us is that pure athleticism doesn't normally win. A participant with decent athleticism amongst the cohort that is an elite faker does. Put the pure athlete with the ability to fake and now you're starting to build an elite tag player. Faking is the underlying consistent variable, not athleticism.
So, how can you "Fake it to make it" in hockey?
Two things come directly to mind: Being creative and being cerebral. In simpler language, play. Actually, let's call it cerebral play. You see when you play you're processing a ton of different inputs, and if those inputs can be mapped inside your long- term memory it gives an athlete experience. Experience to go back to when you find yourself in that same situation next time out. Cerebral play = experience. That's the simple algorithm. This isn't new stuff. We talk about it on our blog all of the time, it's essentially the biggest performance enhancement of our method. Mapping and transferring are number 3 and 4 on our list because of progression, but they are the most important part of the Perfect Skating equation.
McDavid fakes like he is going to cut inside before shifting his weight and taking the puck wide. This not only gives him space to beat the D wide, it also ends up drawing everyone's attention towards him as he goes behind the net and feeds the puck out front for an easy finish.
So, fake. And fake a lot. Fake with your stick, fake with your blade, fake with your movement, hands, feet, torso, shoulder, head… Fake with everything at your disposal. It will bring you out of the reactive realm and into a new dimension of cerebral play. One where your always on the attack, always one step ahead. It's those that choose to live in those layered dimensions that become elite at their craft.
Fake and Shift Reactivity, I promise your game will grow!

Cypress Chips
This tree is ruled by Saturn and often connected to death. It is used magickally in binding and releasing, to increase longevity, for easing grief and finding comfort and safety in time of loss. It symbolizes the soul and represents reincarnation and resurrection. Top
The Hades Connection
Cypress is sacred to Hades ("the unseen"; the Roman equivalent, Pluto, came from the Greek euphemism for Hades, Pluoutos--precious wealth of the earth). He was the son of two Titans, who lived before Olympus. He split the rulership of this planet with Zeus (heaven) and Poseiden (sea). Hades was the least popular of the Greek gods, although in later depictions he was connected to the riches of the earth, which could be mineral or vegetable. He was stern, ferocious in battle, and just. His symbols of power are the two-pronged fork, the cornucopia, and the staff, and he is usually depicted as dark and heavily bearded. No temples were built to him, but he did have worshippers, especially after the growth of mystery religions. They averted their eyes from his likeness while worshipping him and banged their hands on the ground so he would hear them. He was later connected not just to the underworld but to all the goodness of the Earth as well, such as grain and minerals. The picture shows Hades and Persephone, goddess of the harvest and wife of Hades. She is holding a sheaf of wheat and a hen (the rooster is under her throne). Hades is holding a branch of pomegranates, with which he tempted Persephone, and an offering bowl. Top
Other Magickal Connections
Not surprisingly, cypress is also linked to elemental Earth, especially in the form of the Phrygian goddess of earth and caves, Cybele/Kybele. She ruled over the natural world, wild animals, dark magick, and revenge. Agrippa, however, connects cypress (and all scented wood) to Mars. Here's a nice incense recipe with a strong Earth slant that includes cypress. Top

Sarah Sedwick
Painting the Dynamic Still Life
February 21-23, 2020
9:30am - 4:30pm
McRae Art Studios
1000 Arlington Street, Orlando, FL 32805
We are excited to bring Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick to Orlando to offer her first Florida workshop.
You won't want to miss out on this fun three-day opportunity to practice painting looser and more confidently. Sarah will take you through a step-by-step approach to alla prima oil painting, from black-and-white studies to brilliant color. You will build a beautiful composition with life and movement, get a new perspective on the still life, and learn tips for bringing inspiration to your home studio practice.
You'll also delve into the fundamentals of good design, creating black and white oil studies to plan compositions that work. Sarah's approach emphasizes the benefits of working from the general to the specific – big value shapes first, small details later.
Using a split-primary palette as your color foundation – two reds, two yellows, and two blues – you'll do quick, fun exercises to focus on loosening up your brushwork before creating a finished piece.
Sarah will demonstrate and work with each student individually. Painters of all levels are welcome. This class is for you, even if you are new to oils. Sarah makes it simple and fun. And she is often able to bring many fantastic paint and medium samples from both M. Graham and Gamblin for everyone!
Early Bird Pricing

hats and glasses
Fashion is in society a trend that we must respect, if I want to wear a hat, glasses, or high heels it's my right to do. Not the government to decide for me.
Hats have been around for a very long time. It is impossible to say when the first animal skin was pulled over a head as protection against the elements and although this was not a hat in the true sense, it was realized that covering your head could sometimes be an advantage.
One of the first hats to be depicted was found in a tomb painting at Thebes and shows a man wearing a coolie-style straw hat. Other early hats include the Pileus, which was a simple skull cap, the Phrygian cap, which became identified later as the 'liberty cap' given to slaves in Greece and Rome when they were made free men, and the Pestasos which comes from ancient Greece and is the first known hat with a brim.
Although women from an early stage were always expected to have their heads covered by veils, kerchiefs, hoods, caps and wimples, it was not until the end of the 16th century that women's structured hats, based on those of male courtiers began to be seen.
historyn.gif (107839 bytes) It was in the late seventeenth century that women's headgear began to emerge in its own right and not be influenced by men's hat fashions. The word 'milliner', A maker of women's hats, was first recorded in 1529 when the term referred to the products for which Milan and the northern Italian regions were well known, i.e. ribbons, gloves and straws. The haberdashers who imported these highly popular straws were called 'Millaners' from which the word was eventually derived.
By the mid 1800's Swiss and Italian straws, together with imitation straws made from paper, cardboard, grass and horsehair were available to women, along with the introduction of velvet and tulle.
During the first half of the nineteenth century the bonnet dominated women's fashion, becoming very large with many ribbons, flowers, feathers and gauze trims giving an appearance of even greater size. By the end of the century, although bonnets were still prevalent, many other styles were to be found, including wide brims with flat crowns, the flower pot and the toque – feathers and veils abounded.
Although early in the 1900's most hats were enormous and adorned with flowers, feathers, ribbons and tulle, by the mid 1920's women's hair had become much shorter with the shingle cut and the cloche, which hugged the head like a helmet with a very small brim, had come into fashion. Now, after World War 1, there was suddenly such a proliferation of styles and materials that many women had to rely on the advice of milliners.
From the 1930's to the 1950's it could be said that New York, with its many European immigrants had become the world's leading millinery city, with department stores such as Sacs Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman leading the way with their own millinery workrooms.
During the 1930's and 40's the tendency was for hats to have higher crowns with smaller brims and once it was War-Time again, it was mainly the trims which were changed with women making do with turbans made from pre-war materials.
By the 1950's the arrival of ready-to-wear clothes was robbing the milliners of their crucial part in the world of fashion. Equally during the War many women, who had not previously worked, found themselves employed and were then loathed to lose their new-found freedom and independence. This new situation meant, however, that they no longer had so much time or energy to spend on being fashionable.
In the 1960's the hat was once again overtaken by wigs and hairdressers, who colored, back-combed and sprayed women's hair into exotic 'sculptures'. Both men and women also realized that they could dress less formally and the hat was inevitably a temporary casualty. However, in the 1980's and 90's there has been a revival of interest in women's millinery. This was instigated, to a large extent, by public figures such as the late Princess of Wales's enthusiasm for wearing hats. Many new hat designers have emerged because of this, and therefore has made the 90's a very innovative and diverse period for hats.
Since their invention, hats have come and gone as status symbols, uniforms and fashion statements as well as being functional sports and protective headgear.
There are still, and presumably always will be, two basic styles – brimmed and brimless – and two basic forms – caps and hats. Milliners take these shapes and with the aid of many trims and details, create a never-ending range of hats for men and women.

Abbas - Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn 'Abbâs
(Not unto the weak) among the elderly or the chronically ill (nor unto the sick) among the youth (nor unto those who can find naught to spend) in jihad (is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah) in relation to His religion (and His messenger) regarding his practice. (Not unto the good) in their works and words (is there any road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving) of those who repent, (Merciful) towards he who dies in a state of repentance.
Jalal - Al-Jalalayn
As for the weak, such as the old, and the sick, the blind and the chronically ill, and those who find nothing to expend, for the struggle, no blame, no sin, falls upon them, should they stay away from it, if they remain true to God and to His Messenger, when they stay behind, by not spreading false rumours or impeding [others from joining the struggle], but by [adhering to] obedience. There is no way [of blame], no way of reproach, against those who are virtuous, through such [behaviour]. And God is Forgiving, Merciful, to them, by granting them such leeway [in this matter].
Kathir - Ibn Al Kathir
Legitimate Excuses for staying away from Jihad
Allah mentions here the valid excuses that permit one to stay away from fighting. He first mentions the excuses that remain with a person, the weakness in the body that disallows one from Jihad, such as blindness, limping, and so forth. He then mentions the excuses that are not permanent, such as an illness that would prevent one from fighting in the cause of Allah, or poverty that prevents preparing for Jihad. There is no sin in these cases if they remain behind, providing that when they remain behind, they do not spread malice or try to discourage Muslims from fighting, but all the while observing good behavior in this state, just as Allah said,
مَا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِينَ مِن سَبِيلٍ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
(No means (of complaint) can there be against the doers of good. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) Al-Awza`i said, "The people went out for the Istisqa' (rain) prayer. Bilal bin Sa`d stood up, praised Allah and thanked Him then said, `O those who are present! Do you concur that wrong has been done' They said, `Yes, by Allah!' He said, `O Allah! We hear your statement,
مَا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِينَ مِن سَبِيلٍ
(No means (of complaint) can there be against the doers of good.) O Allah! We admit our errors, so forgive us and give us mercy and rain.' He then raised his hands and the people also raised their hands, and rain was sent down on them.'' Mujahid said about Allah's statement,
وَلاَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ
(Nor (is there blame) on those who came to you to be provided with mounts) Mujahid said; "It was revealed about Bani Muqarrin from the tribe of Muzaynah. '' Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Al-Hasan said that the Messenger of Allah said,
«لَقَدْ خَلَّفْتُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا وَلَا نِلْتُمْ مِنْ عَدُوَ نَيْلًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ شَرَكُوكُمْ فِي الْأَجْر»
(Some people have remained behind you in Al-Madinah; and you never spent anything, crossed a valley, or afflicted hardship on an enemy, but they were sharing the reward with you.) He then recited the Ayah,
وَلاَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لاَ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ
(Nor (is there blame) on those who came to you to be provided with mounts, when you said: "I can find no mounts for you.'') This Hadith has a basis in the Two Sahihs from Anas, the Messenger of Allah said,
«إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا وَلَا سِرْتُمْ سَيْرًا إِلَّا وَهُمْ مَعَكُم»
(Some people have remained behind in Al-Madinah and you never crossed a valley or marched forth, but they were with you.) They said, "While they are still at Al-Madinah'' He said,
«نَعَمْ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْر»
(Yes, as they have been held back by a (legal) excuse.) Then, Allah criticized those who seek permission to remain behind while they are rich, admonishing them for wanting to stay behind with women who remained in their homes,
وَطَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
(and Allah has sealed up their hearts, so that they know not (what they are losing).)
Maududi - Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi - Tafhim al-Qur'an
This implies that even those people who are otherwise excusable because of disability, sickness or indigence will be pardoned only if they are sincerely and truly faithful to Allah and His Messenger. Without this fidelity, no one shall be pardoned merely because he was sick or indigent at the time when he was called upon to go forth for Jihad. For Allah does not judge merely by appearances and treat alike and forgive all those who present "medical certificates" of their disability because of sickness, old age or some other physical defect. On the Day of Judgment, He will examine minutely the heart of each and everyone, and take into account his whole conduct, open and hidden, and will consider whether his excuse was of a faithful servant or of a traitor and rebel. It is obvious that each and every case, in spite of apparent similarity, requires a separate and different judgment. For instance, let us take the case of two men who suddenly fell ill on the eve of Jihad. One of them thanked his lucky stars for the timely disease, as if to say, "How lucky it is that I have fallen ill on the opportune moment! Otherwise, this calamity of Jihad could not have been avoided and I would have had to suffer it anyhow." On the contrary, the other man was filled with sorrow at his illness, and he cried in anguish, "Ah! what a bad luck! I have been attacked by this sudden disease at the time when I ought to have been in the battle-field instead of lying down here in bed!" One of them made his illness not only an excuse for exemption from Jihad but also tried to dissuade others from it. On the contrary, the other one, though lying in the sick-bed, went on urging his own dear relatives, friends and others to go forth to Jihad; nay, he entreated even those who were attending him, saying, "Leave me in the care of the Real Master, and go forth to Jihad. I am sure that the arrangements for my nursing will be made somehow or other: therefore you should not waste your precious chance for my sake but go forth and serve the Right Way." But the other, who stayed at home, spent all this time in spreading discontent and bad news and in damaging war efforts and in disrupting the affairs of the families of the fighters. The other man in similar circumstances did his very best to make the home front as strong as he could. Though these two men had similar excuses for exemption, they cannot be considered as equal in the sight of Allah: the second one only may expect Allah's pardon, and not the first man who was a traitor and rebel against Allah, though he might have had a genuine excuse for exemption.
Such people as felt a strong urge for Jihad but could not join it because of some really genuine excuse, will be counted by Allah among those who actually took part in it, even though they could not join it in person and do anything practically for it. This is because they were sincerely grieved at their absence from Jihad for no fault of theirs, just as a man of the world would be grieved if he were deprived of some lucrative business or of some high profit. Allah considers such a one as on duty, because his heart was serving in the Way of Allah, though he had been deprived of active service on account of some genuine excuse. The Holy Prophet, while returning from Tabuk, stated the same thing like this: "There are some people at Al-Madinah (at this time) who have been traveling and marching all along with you through every valley. Naturally the Companions to whom he was speaking were wonder struck at this. So they asked, "While staying at Al-Madinah?" He replied, "Yes, while staying at AI-Madinah! This is because they were compelled by the circumstances to stay behind at AI-Madinah: otherwise they would certainly have accompanied you. "

Peter Robinson: I am Peter Robinson. By the
way, please be sure to follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/uncknowledge. In 2002 Thaddeus McCotter was elected to the
United States House of Representatives from Michigan?s 11th Congressional District just
northwest of Detroit. Since 2006 Congressman McCotter has served as Chairman of the House
Republican Policy Committee, a position that makes him after the minority leader and the
minority whip the third ranking Republican in the House of Representatives. Now in his
fourth term, Congressman McCotter appears often on radio and television, becoming one
of the new faces of the Republican Party. Dennis Miller refers to you as ?young Thad,?
I understand. McCotter: He refers to me as a lot of things,
some off the air we cannot repeat here. Peter Robinson: Really? All right. McCotter: He is from Pittsburgh. He tends
to be surly. Peter Robinson: [Chuckle] All right. A Detroit
man would tend to know that. Segment one, where the GOP stands. A couple of figures.
Gallop polling in 1991, three years into the presidency of George H.W. Bush. Americans
who identified themselves as Democrats and Democratic leaning, 44 percent. Republicans
and Republican leaning, 48 percent. Republican up four. 2006, your third term in congress
and five years into the presidency of George W. Bush, Democrats and Democrat leaders are
at 40 percent; Republicans and Republican leaners ? I beginning your pardon, the Democrats
and Democrat leaders at 50 percent, Republicans at 40 percent. Republicans down ten. What
happened? McCotter: Well, first just let me say I am
the fourth highest. Peter Robinson: Fourth! Who did I leave out? McCotter: Mike Pence, the Conference chair? Peter Robinson: Sorry. McCotter: ?who puts everybody on TV, so I
do not want him mad at me? Peter Robinson: All right. McCotter: ?or you will never see my face again,
which might please many. Peter Robinson: All right, you are number
four. McCotter: Four and 65. So if you go back?let
us go back to 1964. Nineteen sixty-four Lyndon Johnson landslides. Republican Party dead.
Nineteen sixty-eight, Richard Nixon elected president. Speaking of him you go to 1973-74
Republican Party dead. Carter elected in ?76. Oh?1980 Ronald Reagan elected president. In
1992 Bill Clinton defeats George Bush, they control everything. It is the end of the Republican
Party. It is dead again. Nineteen ninety-four happens. From 2006-2008, Republican Party
dead. I expect that history will repeat itself. But after the Republican Party in many ways
it is one based upon events, a very tumultuous time in America?s history. A lot of the difficult
decisions that were made by the administration and by the congress were not greeted very
well, but then again there were never very many better alternatives to put forward at
the time. Internally what we became was a national party in our minds as opposed to
what we really are, which is as a Republican Party. We are not an ideological national
movement. We are a philosophical movement based upon people who get elected by district
politics as the art of the possible. We can differ on certain things. We have the shared
principles and then we apply them to the problems of the day. What you started to see was as
we became more national, more centralized, which is the antithesis of what the Republican
philosophy is, we began to forget that we represent districts and that you cannot do
certain things and expect to get reelected, because your public will not allow you to
do that; and spending is one of the classic examples. Peter Robinson: Okay. You are giving me something
that does not compute immediately for me, which is the argument that one of the problems
the party got into was that it became national rather than local. But I thought that under
Denny Hastert and Tom Delay and the explosion of discretionary domestic spending that what
was taking place was a kind of hypersensitivity to congressmen ? to Republican members of
the House, district by district by district, in which they were attempting ? the leadership
then was attempting to play the Democratic game of shoving pork back home as fast as
possible ? as much as possible as fast as possible. McCotter: No. Thank you. That was more of
a symptom rather than disease itself. Peter Robinson: Oh, really? Okay. Explain
that. That is a? McCotter: Largely the symptom was if you look
at ? take for example an issue like free trade? Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: ?and argue the merits of it however
we want. We can argue the nuances. But if you take free trade and you look at where
a lot of our seat were lost in the Ohio River valley, in the Northeast, in the Midwest,
these are not hotbeds of free trade. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: So what would happen is as members
cast difficult votes, to get them to cast votes that their constituencies might not
like or that went too far too fast, the default position was well, we will try to help you
out with this project in your district. The spending became, to a certain extent, a symptom
of members doing things that their constituents did not like and then the spending would be
the default to try to okay, we will make them like you with spending. So spending was a
problem in terms of some of what we did, but it was largely a symptom of the overarching
failure to understand that the party can only move forward so fast on certain issues if
the constituencies of the members who are sent there do not want them to go that far
that fast. Peter Robinson: So the Chairman of the House
Republican House Policy Committee is telling me that the Republican Party erred not by
being too provincial, but by being too ideological. You were a piecemeal, bit-by-bit, let us see
what we can get? McCotter: I am a Russell Kirk conservative.
I am a Ronald Reagan conservative. Russell Kirk was born in Plymouth, which is in my
district. Russell Kirk, where conservatism is a negation of ideology. Politics is the
area of the possible, something Ronald Reagan knew very well. Again, I am 44. I am a Republican
because of Ronald Reagan. You are a servant of the people. You have to help show them
where you need to go. You have to be willing to lead, but you also have to make sure that
they are willing to follow because you made a compelling case. Peter Robinson: Well, all right, let me try
again, this _____ (00:05:58) of the business?a common understanding, and frankly, it seems
to me to fit the facts, that during the George W. Bush?and last question on the past, by
the way, we will come to the present in just a moment?but that President Bush, President
George W. Bush, made a decision which was he needed to go to war. It was going to be
difficult to carry the country with him and in particular it was going to be difficult
to carry his own members with him, in the House particularly, so he said to Denny Hastert
and Tom Delay, spend what you need to spend. Is that accurate? Is that what happened? Is
one of the? McCotter: Well, I would not [overlapping voice]. Peter Robinson: ?was the war a step too far? McCotter: I was not privy to those conversations,
but let us just put it this way. There were many of us who understood, coming from a philosophically
conservative background, that when you look at the reconstruction of Iraq, that was where
the strategy in Iraq had its problems, and that bipartisan support, although it was before
my time, right before I got elected, a bipartisan vote to authorize force for regime change
in Iraq. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: That was bipartisan. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: It went well until the reconstruction
phase. There were many of us who said you cannot have a top-down, Great Society Meets
Baghdad approach out of the Green Zone to creating model democracy in Iraq. You have
to start from the traditional roots of order and build up like the United States did from
town halls and so forth. What happened was there were not enough voices arguing that
to the administration within the administration, and many members got caught up in the hope
that somehow the Green Zone top down would work. Instead, what we should have been doing
since 2003, and people like myself argued, was we should have been doing something like
the Petraeus Plan from day one. And it should have been planned ahead of time even before
the authorization of force was acted upon. Because before you get into something, you
have to know what you are going to do; and to take the approach that some of this was
an academic exercise on a blackboard instead of trying to emancipate people to enjoy their
God-given liberty and allow them to develop their democracy themselves with US assistance
from the grassroots up. That would have been a much better approach. But when you talk
about how the Republican Party responded to this, I think a lot of the spending also came
from well, we know if we have problems over this issue we have free trade; if we get the
war this will help you in this district, instead of trying to be willing to go out there and
differentiate it yourself from a bad policy of this scale or to work internally to get
that administration to change it. Peter Robinson: So the money was the attempt?the
huge increase in discretionary spending was the attempt to help members who were being
dragged along by an over-ideological? McCotter: It was not the only part but it
was a large part of it. It was a large part of the symptom. Peter Robinson: It was a large part of the
plan. All right. Segment two. The crash and the stimulus. Two quotations. The Economist
magazine, quote: As policy makers struggled to save the economy from collapse earlier
this year, conservative activists?that would include you?railed irrelevantly. But you are
not ? you have to ? I mean anybody who is activist enough to get elected to the House,
I think that includes you. I will ? I assert that. Second quotation, Congressman Thaddeus
McCotter: President Obama?s stimulus package represented a quote, a trillion dollar obscenity,
close quote. Why is that not irrelevant railing? McCotter: I think we had to point out that
our prosperity comes from the private sector, not the public sector, underlying two things
? the president has two principles that we disagree with. I think one? Peter Robinson: This president. We are now
on President Obama. McCotter: This president. Peter Robinson: All right. McCotter: Although in fairness let us go back,
if you want to go back to the Wall Street bailout, we can do that. It is another point
[overlapping voices] that he agreed with, but it was not his policy as it was implemented.
If you do not reassert every chance you get, the public?s ? the public sector is not providing
your prosperity, then you are not doing your job as a Republican. You also wanted to point
out that we have principle differences with the president. And that if you take a trillion
dollars of borrowed money and try to grow the economy through it, it was essentially
a government stimulus bill. You are going to drag out this depression and you are going
to be worse off than if you had done nothing. So I think that it is quote/unquote not railing
to point out the substantive differences between us and this administration; and I think it
is also critical to the American people to know not only did we quote/unquote rail against
it, we also provided our own stimulus plan that was dependent upon tax relief for working
families, for small businesses that by the econometrics of this administration would
have created twice the jobs at half the cost. They decided to, shall we say, go it alone
with their stimulus. Peter Robinson: By the way, could I just ask
you a question? Let me ask this. The difference between the stimulus ? the TARP, the Hank
Paulson/Ben Bernanke/George W. Bush bailout measure and the bailout measure put forward
by President Obama, my question is what did it feel like in the House? On TARP you had
your own administration begging Republican members to go along. It was extremely difficult
to figure out. I was trying to figure out how many Republicans were going to ? they
were essentially cutting the deal with the Democrats and trying to bring some Republicans
along. On the Obama stimulus package, Boehner and Cantor and Pence and I presume you were
right in the middle of it actually held every Republican member in opposition. They did
not get a single Republican vote on that bailout. Do you in the House feel energized? You have
found your political footing now. You have found a way to unite the Republican members.
What is with the difference in morale and feeling? McCotter: Well, with the Wall Street bailout
what we saw? Peter Robinson: Wall Street bailout meaning
the Paulson? McCotter: Yeah, the Paulson? Peter Robinson: All right. McCotter: So. It is where it came from. Peter Robinson: And Bush. McCotter: Right. With the Wall Street bailout
what you saw was an administration doing the antithesis of what so many of us had come
to Congress to do, and in fact one of the things we found most repugnant was the saying
that these companies, these banks are too big to fail. At other times in the nation?s
history, be it Andrew Jackson or be it Theodore Roosevelt, they were not allowed ? no private
entity was allowed to say, we are too big to fail, because nothing is bigger than the
American people. Only they are too big to fail. So from the very premise that somehow
working people?s money had to go to the people who had caused the problem and helped collapse
the credit markets, I think was repugnant to a lot of us; and the fact that it had been
borne out over time plays into the second part of your question. Because even after
that thing was passed, all of a sudden it was Paulson or Bernanke saying the toxic asset
part of this, which so many of you said would not and we derided you, ah, we are not going
to do that. We are going to recapitalize the banks now, which is a vastly different proposition
than the removal of the toxic assets. So when you go in flesh forward? Peter Robinson: Did you feel that had been
a bait and switch? Or that they were? McCotter: Well, I thought the whole thing
was ridiculous. Peter Robinson: You did. McCotter: From the beginning I thought it
was a fundamental shift in how the Untied States government works vis-?-vis the private
sector and vis-?-vis most importantly private citizens. When you flash forward to this,
you had a lot of our leadership that had supported that, was very upset at what happens or did
not happen with the unfreezing of the credit markets that it had not worked. So when you
get into the stimulus plan and [overlapping voice]. Peter Robinson: Wait. Our leadership?you are
talking about House Republicans? McCotter: House Republicans. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: Because they supported the president,
a lot of them. And when they found out that it did not work and it wound up, from the
day we passed it, not being implemented as we had been told, even those of us who voted
against it, they were kind of upset. As I think you can imagine, human nature being
what it is. So having gone down that path and having had a lot of conservatives and
a lot of American people tell them that they did not like the Wall Street bailout, they
certainly did not want to exacerbate that problem. And so the reaction of the Republican
Party to the president?s trillion dollar stimulus was not? Peter Robinson: President Obama?s. McCotter: ?President Obama, was not based
upon just a knee jerk reaction we do not like this. It was again a second reminder of the
fundamental principle our prosperity comes from the private sector, not the public sector. Peter Robinson: Why did? McCotter: There was very little whipping,
if any, going on. Peter Robinson: Why did President Obama leave
it to Nancy Pelosi and Harry ? actually, as best I can tell, it was mostly the House Democrats
who drafted the legislation. Why did he do that? Here Rahm Emanuel is a very tough chief
of staff. They are a very disciplined organization down there in the White House. Why did they
field out the drafting of this critical ? his first big piece of legislation to the
House Democrats? McCotter: Well, that is one of the mysteries
that they are going to have to answer. Peter Robinson: All right. McCotter: Because when? Peter Robinson: It did not make sense to you
either. McCotter: No. The president had come to our
conference. He had talked to us. It had gone rather well. Very personable, and pledged
to work with us. We set up the cancer working group of which I was a part of and some other
members and came up with the plan I talked to you about. And that was at the president?s
request, was where are your ideas? So House Republicans came up with our ideas, Eric and
[overlapping voice]. Peter Robinson: Eric Cantor? McCotter: Yeah, Eric Cantor and [overlapping
voice]. Peter Robinson: Paul Ryan in on that? McCotter: Yeah, Paul was in on that. And they
taken ? you know, Cantor and Boehner take it over, present it to him and we do not hear
anything back. They went their own way. Now why they did that, I do not know. I do not
think it would have been very hard for them to get maybe 30, 40 Republicans to buy into
something reasonable. They just decided they were going to do without us. I think they
were so sure that it was going to be successful that they really figured that we were cutting
our own throats in opposing, because from their mindset the chance to pass a trillion
dollar spending bill and take it around their country for the next two to three to four
years saying, look what wonderful things your government is doing for you by giving you
recycled money back that you will have to pay interest on. Well, they seemed to think
that is all right. For the rest of us it was like it is not going to work. Peter Robinson: So what we have here is a
truly thoroughly ideological administration. McCotter: Well, I do not know that it is ideological
if you are a Democrat and you look at this. This is how you get elected. Peter Robinson: Ah, all right. McCotter: It is the redistribution of wealth,
the targeted interest. Peter Robinson: Got it. Segment three. Obama-Care.
Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, on President Obama?s position on healthcare, quote: What
a revulsion. Close quote. Would you care to expand? McCotter: The voters are revulsed by it. And
I think that the thing that I would like people to focus on is that while they are running
ads against Republicans like myself and others? Peter Robinson: They are? They are spending
money in your district right now? McCotter: Not an active D&C. It is the ?
it is one of their 136 special interest groups? Peter Robinson: Oh, yeah. McCotter: ?their Astroturf. Peter Robinson: All right. McCotter: And when you see what pharma is
going to do, and others, good luck. The American people do not like this. They are reading
the bill. This is not a disinformation campaign by anybody except the White House to try to
portray their plan as anything but a pass to single payer. That is what it is. Americans
do not like it. Peter Robinson: The single payer being the
federal government in the end. McCotter: Government run health care. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: They do not like it. Their own Democrats
do not like or the bill would have been passed. He has talked about what went wrong in the
first segment. Well, here is a consequence of what went wrong. They can pass whatever
they want. In the House, majority rules. In the Senate they got 60. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: If Democrats define this healthcare
bill to be too repugnant to vote for, all the yelling about going it alone?they have
been doing that from the beginning. All the attacks on Republicans, all the smears on
the tea party and the grassroots activists and the normal people who rise up against
this bill?sideshow. As a practical legislative matter, if Democrats support the administration?s
plan, it would have been done by now. If Democrats support the administration?s plan, it will
get done in September. We are witnessing an internal debate amongst the Democratic Party
and what they are finding is that when you start a bill from the left with Waxman, Miller
and Pelosi, three millionaires from California, you have trouble getting the to the center
of American politics because your own people do not want to do it. Peter Robinson: More legislative analysis
then. How many Democrats?give me ? remind me of the numbers. Are there 198 members
? Republican members of the House as I recall. McCotter: Oh, not that many. Peter Robinson: No? McCotter: There are 178. Peter Robinson: Sorry, 178. So how many Blue
Dog Democrats are there? How many? McCotter: There ? it depends on your definition
of Blue Dog. The organization, I think, has about 50 or so. Peter Robinson: Fifty. Well, let me put it
this way, then. If you are Rahm Emanuel down on Pennsylvania Avenue trying to game out
your next step in this legislation. How many Democrats are giving you trouble right now? McCotter: Anyone who has gone home to their
districts. Peter Robinson: [Laughter] Really? McCotter: Oh, you have a hard core. Even the
progressive caucus is unhappy. They are in a whip saw. The president, by laying out principles
or passing suggestions as to what he thinks should be in his most important [overlapping
voice]. Peter Robinson: Let me quote you again?the
president quoting you: The president has a position. He has no plan. McCotter: Right. Peter Robinson: And again, he has farmed out
the job of drafting an effort to reform, let take over, regulate one-sixth of the economy
to Nancy Pelosi and a handful of the House Democratic leadership. Am I right? McCotter: And the problem is the whip saw. Peter Robinson: Okay, give me the [overlapping
voice]. McCotter: Now look. If this were a question
of governance and you saw the public reaction to this, you would say to yourself, okay? Peter Robinson: Back off. McCotter: ?okay, let us, all right, all right,
all right. I get it. You do not want to do it my way, okay, what can ? let us work with
both sides. Let us see if we can start in the center. What can we do? At this point
you are seeing the single payer now as a shibboleth of the left. He had floated trial balloons
about maybe going toward the center and starting like Senator Lieberman has recently said,
start in the middle, scrap, but start in the middle and build out. But that is causing
just a huge rift in his own party. Now when we talked about what went wrong, a lot of
times the Republican Party would start a bill on the right and do the same thing: try to
get to the center and you would see the arguments within the Republican Party and the cleavages
within our different coalitions and different districts. Ultimately the public decided that
is not how they wanted us to govern. Now the 2006 mantra was send George Bush a message
and get rid of his rubber stamp Congress. Well, what we have been witnessing since the
beginning of this administration has been ? it is a pneumatic rubber stamp. I mean
artificial deadlines, bills written, read, passed. He sets another deadline. Passed.
He sets another deadline. [Sound] Maybe not. Well, we have had enough of that. But the
Democratic Party itself is now having one of those internecine battles over what this
thing will look like, and until they decide whether they can accept something and pass
it or they really are serious? Peter Robinson: So the Democrat from let us
say ? let us leave aside Henry Waxman down there in Beverly Hills because his ? they
are all rich and they are all liberal. They are ? that is a ? let us say the Democrat
in Arkansas where it is plausible that he could get a primary challenge that would be
serious or that there might even be a Republican. So that Democrat, he is between a rock and
a hard place. I am testing this to see if I understand your point. On the one hand the
left of his party, the base, the people who raise the money and lick the envelopes, want
single payer. They want effectively some sort of socialization of healthcare and they are
insistent on it. This matters a lot to them. And then he is going home and holding these
town halls and discovering that his ordinary voters do not want it. They are suspicious.
That is the problem he has. McCotter: So we have to ? it is a typical
problem. It is a problem that we used to see ourselves. Peter Robinson: Okay. So what do they do about
it? [Overlapping voices]. McCotter: They are going to have to make a
decision. Peter Robinson: Congress goes back into session
on September 8th. McCotter: They are going to have to make a
decision. They have a leader of the party. They complain that we do not have a quote/unquote
leader of the party. Well, that is largely due to them winning the White House and controlling
the congress. So my point to them is if you are ? when you talked about ? when I talked
about the president having a position, not a plan, he now has a problem. Because what
you are going to see if you watched, the left and the right of the Democratic Party, the
center left, are starting to have this feud. And what will happen is a large part of what
we went through is you will see primaries between these two wings of the party, absent
of presidential intervention to say this is what I want. The president is the only one
in that party right now that can come in and say we are going to do it this way. And then
at least they will know where they are. Peter Robinson: So, is he ? he is off at Martha?s
Vineyard right now. Has he told ? has he said to Rahm Emanuel, you got a week. I am resting
up here and enjoying myself but when I get back to Washington I want you to have figured
out a plan. And we are going to? McCotter: I do not know. I am not privy to
those conversations. I would think that the president would just say, look, this is what
we are going to do come hell or high water. We are either going to go to the center and
work out and build a bipartisan bill to deal with specific problems or we are going to
go for the whole thing and make a mess. The problem that they have first and foremost,
though, is not Democrats, not even Republicans. The American people do not want this. Peter Robinson: Got it. Segment four. The
war. First Iraq. Retired General Jack Keane stated on this program not too long ago that
the war in Iraq is substantially won. Do you agree with that? McCotter: I do not think anything substantially
won. You are either won or you have lost. So if we are making progress with the Petraeus
Plan, yes. If the surge worked to date, yes. Are we close to giving them a chance to do
what every country would hope would have, if you have your liberty now keep it. You
cannot guarantee the liberty of another country but you can give them a fighting chance to
keep it. Peter Robinson: The responsibility now rests
properly with the Iraqis, not with us. McCotter: Not fully. Not fully yet. Remember
what General Petraeus did and those soldiers did despite their congress in 2007 telling
them it was doomed to failure, has been to jump ? what is generally what a nine to 12
to 11 year counter insurgency and done it in about two years. So this is fragile. It
is very fragile. The reconstruction that should have been occurring since 2003 at the grassroots
is starting ? continuing. It is settling down but you can see as we pull back from the cities,
it also offers an opportunity for other nations or people within Iraq itself to cause problems.
I would say that it is fragile. But you cannot simply say something is substantially won
and walk away. At this point we were making progress. The progress is fragile. We have
to hold that progress because it will affect Afghanistan, Pakistan, and everything else
[overlapping voice]. Peter Robinson: Are you satisfied that the
Obama Administration is behaving ? is conducting the Iraq aspect of the war on terror adequately
at present? McCotter: It depends ? you are looking at
the specific theater of Iraq the concern would have been the hasty withdrawal. A lot of us
were very happy to see that the president, upon entering office, did not go in there
[overlapping voices] yeah, we are setting an artificial deadline, we are all going to
leave. No. It was a far more responsible approach. If you are talking about Afghanistan, that
remains to be seen although his emphasis on Afghanistan, his understanding that it is
a crucial theater, is very heartening, too. So I think that you will see some bipartisan,
where it is warranted, praise for the president for at least not doing many of the things
that had come up in the primary as campaign slogans. Peter Robinson: The day before this taping,
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Mike Mullen, said that the situation in Afghanistan
is quote ?deteriorating,? and the commander on the ground General McCrystal is completing
a strategic review that is widely expected to result in a request for more troops. Not
long after coming into office, President Obama increased our commitment of troops to Afghanistan
by 17,000. I am a layman. I read the press. It looks as though the Pentagon is teeing
up a request for more. Your comment? McCotter: I wait for the general?s review
to come forward. I would not be surprised if that was the case, but we will allow him
to make that determination. One of the fundamental problems we have with Afghanistan is the incursions
from ? within the tribal areas of Pakistan. Peter Robinson: Pakistan, right. McCotter: We have to work with the Pakistanis.
As dangerous and difficult as Afghanistan is, we have got to work with the Pakistan
government not only in terms of the military assistance within those regions to help stop
the incursions, but we also have to work with them in a preemptive way to ensure a civil
society there. They are our partners. They are our allies. What we cannot allow is to
have a solely military focus or a heavily military focus in Afghanistan without paying
any attention to a lot of the deep seated problems that the people of Pakistan have
in terms of governance, in terms of infrastructure. Because what will happen is if you stay in
Afghanistan long enough even to make it work, which I think is still possible, if Afghanistan
deteriorates to the point it becomes heavily radicalized, that is a nuclear armed country.
It is on the border of another nuclear armed country. They do not have the best of relations.
So you have to do the whole war for freedom in the context of running the gamut from the
Middle East and including many of the neighboring countries such as communist China and Putin?s
Russia that can play a role here constructively or deleteriously. Peter Robinson: The question about the difficulty
of conducting a war in a democracy. Listen to a few figures, a poll from the economists.
Question: Would you say the US is winning the war in Afghanistan? Yes, 18 percent. No,
42 percent. Do you favor increasing the number of troops? Favor, 32 percent. Oppose, 41 percent.
What do you think will eventually happen? The United States will win the war, 35 percent.
The United States will withdraw without winning, 65 percent. So the question here is the president
has to ? has faced in it some ways the same problem that President Bush faced, which is
that conducting a war in a democracy is hard. What should the Republican Party do? Is this
one area where there is a clear ? where it is the responsibility of Republicans to stand
with the president and try to help him bring the public along? McCotter: Well, first, thank God we live in
a democracy, even if we have been unfortunately drawn into the war for freedom. We were attacked
on September 11 by people in Afghanistan. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: I believe you can get a direct argument
out of that. But what you also have to understand is look at Iraq. You just said the general
was on ? and I would think most Americans think we are substantially winning now in
Iraq. Peter Robinson: Mm hm. McCotter: That was not the case in 2006. Events
on the ground tend to dictate it. Democracy is again, thank God, do not like long drawn-out
wars. We are not a bloodthirsty people. Free people tend to love life and tend to despise
war, as it should be. But what we have to do?we have never been, anything but, willing
to be helpful with Afghanistan with the president. Peter Robinson: We being the House Republicans. McCotter: The House Republicans and Senate
Republicans, too. You have not seen any gratuitous shots by any Republican I can recall as to
what the president is or is not doing in Afghanistan. In many ways we are honoring what we had said
we had hoped would happen when President Bush was in office. We understand the responsibility
and the necessity of winning in Afghanistan just as we did in Iraq. And I think we are
all willing to help the president do that as a matter of national security. And as terms
of the polls, the American people are very practical people. If they feel that something
is working, they will change their opinion of it. If they think something is not working,
then they will change their opinion of that, too. Peter Robinson: Segment five, final segment
to last. Rebuilding the GOP. Journalist and historian Sam Tanenhaus in his new book?have
you looked at this one yet? The Death of Conservatism?ready? McCotter: Waiting for the Cliffs Notes. Peter Robinson: [Laughter] It is a short book
[overlapping voices]. McCotter: ?at a university. I already picked
one up. Peter Robinson: These moments revitalized
liberalism. It has illuminated a truth that should have been apparent a decade ago: movement
conservatism is not simply in retreat. It is outmoded. The evidence is not recorded
merely in election returns and poll ratings and more telling evidence. It is in the realm
of ideas and argument, I say, to the Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee.
It is there that conservatism is most glaringly disconnected from the realities now besetting
America. Close quote. McCotter: I always like it when an academic
tells me what reality is. See my quest? Not you. I think he is absolutely wrong. Peter Robinson: He is a journalist, too, but
[overlapping voices]. McCotter: Well, whatever, great. Doubles his
pleasure. Peter Robinson: [Laughter] McCotter: All right. Look. All I hear out
of the Democrats and out of liberalism is the 1970s. We are in the 1970s. Look at cap
and trade. There is nothing but Carter and environmental policy, tax increases, okay.
Maybe go back further in the ?70s to give them more credit. Look at the foreign policy
of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. It is 1970. Hm. The problem is that
the Democrats fundamentally have a highly centralized bureaucratic twentieth century
? mid-twentieth century model of governance they are trying to stick on a twenty-first
century globalized world. It will not work. I would ask the gentlemen to look around the
world and see where the information revolution, globalization itself in terms of trade and
in terms of people coming together?it has empowered citizens and consumers. To foist
a twentieth century model, and you could even go back to the nineteenth century, and say
that somehow this is reform, is not going to work. You can look at the healthcare debate.
We are going to have the government do it. There is nothing. So let us disempower citizens.
Let us disempower consumers. Let us highly centralize and empower the government to take
care of us because a bureaucracy knows best. That is antithetical to everything that is
going on, and that is what the central tenets are, have been, and will remain, including
the wealth ? the redistribution of wealth, the empowerment and expansion of government.
Let us argue that he is absolutely wrong. Peter Robinson: Let me tell ? let me try something
else on you, a few statistics here. Simple ones. One hundred and seventy-eight Republicans? McCotter: I don?t do story problems. Peter Robinson: ?(laughter) one hundred and
seventy-eight Republicans in the House?do I have the number right this time? McCotter: Last time 179, we got the Mcq seat
coming up. Peter Robinson: All right. A hundred and seventy-nine
Republicans in the House. How many black representatives? Zero. How many Jewish? One. How many Hispanic?
Four? How many women? Seventeen? So I put it to you that the GOP is represented in the
House of Representatives looks like the party of white males, and white males are not going
to get you to a majority coalition in the nation. McCotter: I would ask the Democratic Party
if they would give us back all the female members that they beat in 2006 and 2008 on
our side, if they would give us any of the African American or Hispanic candidates or
Jewish candidates that we had run and they had beat. I would also ask them to note that
one of the places we are being beaten is in the Northeast and in the Midwest, which are
very highly in many of these seats such as my very Catholic seat. And so I think that
when you look at the Republican Party you can look at it as a?let us see, a collection
of groups, which we do not do. We look at it as a collection of people who voluntarily,
individually come together behind sets of principles. And you can vote for them or you
can play that game as to how they add up. Now as the son of a Truman Irish Catholic
Democratic father, I would not be in the party except for Ronald Reagan and the principles
that he set forward for. So you can look back at a time when Catholics did not vote for
the Republican Party and very few Catholics were represented within the Republican Party.
You can then go through other groups. You can continue to see historically where African
American were largely Republican and now they are not. But there are all these changes.
But I do not view it that way. I view it as seat by seat. But if the Democrats want to
talk about why we do not have more of any individual background in the party, why I
would argue that they should concede those seats to us so we can be more as they would
like to see us. Peter Robinson: One hundred and seventy-eight
Republicans in the House, 77 from the South. From New England, zero. The party, the Republican
Party, as represented in the House of Representatives, is the part of the South and the Plains and
the Rocky Mountains and you cannot get to a majority coalition in the country without
the seaboards. So is there something in that that the Republican Party for one reason or
another has lost the ability to resonate, to reach people in the urban, seaboard areas? McCotter: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
If you look at 2006 election results we had an unpopular war that was not going well that
happened on the Republican watch. We were thrown out because of it. If you look at 2008,
McCain and President Obama were relatively close until the Wall Street bailout and the
recession really took over. Peter Robinson: Right. McCotter: Part of us in Michigan felt it sooner.
War. Prosperity. You had two major issues the Republican Party was wrong on. It does
not mean there has been a fundamental 80-year shift or 40-year shift for them any more than
there was for us. I think what the people really want to see is they want a Republican
party that is philosophical, that understands that you work for the district that you were
elected by, you have to move in a philosophical fashion. They do not want crazy, radical stuff
from Republicans or Democrats. You see, the Republican Party was viewed as a creator of
chaos to the American voter in 2006 in Iraq and in the domestic economy in 2008. They
are now viewing President Obama and the Democrats as exacerbating that chaos with things such
as cap and tax a trillion stimulus and now they are talking about a trillion dollar healthcare
takeover. What the Republican Party? Peter Robinson: So the opening here is to
present the GOP as the party of domestic tranquility. I am trying a little TURP on you again here. McCotter: No. But what we are is we are a
party that believes in the emancipation, the inherent sanctity and dignity of the individual,
everyone?s God-given right to freedom both abroad and at home. We spread it abroad. We
protect it at home. We believe five fundamental principles. Our liberty is from God, not the
government. Our sovereignty is in our souls, not the soil. Our security is from strength,
not surrender. Our prosperity is from the private sector, not the public sector. And
our truths are self evident, not relative. We agree that that is the philosophical basis.
Different members from different districts may have different takes on applying it to
the challenges of globalization and getting America forward. Peter Robinson: Some good news. In late June
the generic congressional poll: If the election were held today would you vote for a Democrat
or a Republican showed the GOP ahead of the Democrats for the first time in months and
months and months. And a narrow advantage has by now, late summer, widened. A recent
poll showed the GOP up by four points, which is not huge, but it ain?t nothing. Question
one of two: Is that temporary? If President Obama ? when congress returns to Washington
on September 8 and the president says look, here is where we are going on healthcare.
Let us stop this nonsense. I am uniting my party. We are moving ahead. Does the country
swing back to the Democrats? Is it temporary or is this something deep that you can take
advantage of in 2010 elections? McCotter: Well, to finish the previous point
and answer your question, first, I do not believe in polls. They go up, they go down.
They are based upon the practicality of policies that are presented by the governing party.
We are not them right now. So their policies are unpopular. They can change them. They
can make them more population. I would argue they would have to come closer to us. Peter Robinson: Is generic polls ? and can
they make it easier for you to recruit good candidates for 2010? McCotter: I do not believe in polls. I think
they will know in their communities whether what is worth ? whether what has been proposed
by Washington and some of it that has been implemented is good for them or not. And if
there is discontent within districts, people will rise up and say I want to run to try
to change it. I do not think centralized, nationalized parties are the best way to go
in terms of candidate recruitment. I think you have to have people motivated by what
they watch from their friends, their neighbors, their community. Nisbet read him ? but my
point is about the Republican Party is if we are seen as a party of fundamental principles
the American people agree with and we are committed to conserving a cherished way of
life and allowing the American people to channel constructive change by empowering them to
do so, we will be where we need to be in the age of globalization as a part of it. Peter Robinson: Congressman Thaddeus McCotter,
Chairman of the House Republican Policies Committee. Thank you. McCotter: Now do not give me that guy?s book
as a going away present. Peter Robinson: Sam Tanenhaus. I will get
him to sign it for you. McCotter: Yeah. Can I put my hat on and stand
on it while I change my light bulbs? Peter Robinson: It is not that thick. McCotter: For Uncommon Knowledge and the Hoover
Institution, I am Peter Robinson. Page 1 of 15

On 23/03/2019Tell us what you think
Fabulous products,have been using dry oil for some time now, it's a pleasure to use.
I have loved this oil for a long time now. I love the beautiful fragrance it has and how soft and glowing my skin looks after using it. I have used it on my hair half an hour before I shower. I love the spray as I can spray it on my back without having to struggle to get to certain parts. Its an amazing useful oil and delivers what it promises....soft hydrated skin and hair. Great size to take on holiday too
This is such a handy size and for me a lot easier to use the spray than the larger 100ml size. I use this for my hair and body mostly but sometimes I apply a bit on my face. I adore the fragrance and it sinks in so easily. A beautiful oil that really nourishes the skin and a great pre hair wash treatment too.
Great for the skin, great for the hair, absolutely amazing smell. Ever since I tried this I can't live without it! Love it 100%

ABAF presenter Jon Medved talks Chinese Investment
Successful investor Jon Medved visits New Zealand in October for ABAF. In this recent interview for Bloomberg News he shares his view around Chinese investment internationally. He briefly outlines the need for technology and investment opportunities from countries with connected ecosystems (like Israel's 300+ R&D centres – in a country a 10th of the size of New Zealand, or Silicon Valley in the US) to develop those technologies for the Chinese market.
Jon's view is opportunities based on game-changing technologies such as IoT, big data and data analysis, robotics are the areas of most interest with innovators all over the world being sort to deliver.
Meet Jon Medved, along with a host of angels from New Zealand's angel investment community and the world at the Asian Business Angels Forum, Queenstown, October 14-15.

Verdict: Sonam Bajwa shines in a role that's tailor-made for her.
Pollywood is slowly but steadily growing as far as stories and new concepts are concerned. Ardab Mutiyaran is another fine example of a different story told in the most entertaining way possible. The trailer of the film did raise a few eyebrows as women-oriented subjects are not generally made in Punjab. But the hype multiplied as the release date came closer – thanks to the movie's soundtrack, especially Sidhu Moosewala's Jatti Jeone Morh Wargi. Does the film entertain as a whole? Let's analyze.
What's Ardab Mutiyaran About:
An independent and strong-headed Amritsar di Jatti Babbu Bains (Sonam Bajwa) is a tomboy who doesn't care about what the world thinks about her. She takes her own decisions, beats up goons when required and is a strong competitor in her professional life as well. But one day, she is married to a husband who wants her to lead a life according to him. Even his family disapproves of the way she leads her life. Will Babbu change her life for his partner or she stays the way she is?
What Works:
Sonam Bajwa is on a roll. After portraying a strong woman's role in Guddiyan Patole, she is back with another author-backed role in Ardab Mutiyaran. She naturally has that arbad in her persona which helps her sparkle on the big screen. She's pretty, she's smart and she's strong. She knows that no one can give her power and she has to take charge, which is inspiring about her character.
The film starts off on a high with the characters being introduced one by one. Sonam's antics keep the proceedings interesting. The story moves forward once the professional world is exposed and she is introduced to the characters Ninja, Mehreen and Ajay. The pace of the movie slows down when the romantic track starts but nothing that takes away from the narrative.
The second half is where Sonam is in absolute form. The small yet important nuances used from everyday life and amalgamated the same with Babbu Bains' character are interesting and entertaining. The finale is well thought of and brings out the feeling of woman power with pride.
The film belongs to Sonam Bajwa and this is her career-best performance. She oozes confidence as Babbu Bains and looks dominating in every frame. Ninja tries to fit into a comic role after High End Yaarian and impresses yet again. Mehreen Kaur Pirzada looks pretty and acts well. Ajay Sarkaria makes a confident debut. BN Sharma, Sudesh Lehri and Upasana Singh provide the much needed comic relief.
What Could've Been Better:
The pace of the movie drops midway in the first half after the characters are introduced. The movie subscribes to a few clichés in the second half and the viewers can presume the proceedings with ease.
Why You Should Watch:
Watch Ardab Mutiyaran for Sonam Bajwa's flawless act. The film portrays women in an altogether different avatar. The ladies in the film are no more screen fillers but carry the whole movie on their shoulders with the men taking a backseat. Punjabi industry needs more scripts like these.

Is there something I need to understand from all of this? Why does the same stats give me 1337 and 1313 if the correct answer is 1337? Gerhard Stats from CF's page. This is incorrect. Other is too low and traditional caches are out. Doing a search on FE's caches. This is 1313. Doing a check on the stats itself. This is 1337. Checking the logs itself. This is 1337.
