The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) late Monday, March 13, 2017, released its analysis projecting that enactment of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) would increase the number of uninsured Americans by 4 million in 2017, rising to an increase of 14 million by 2018 and to 24 million by 2026.1 Under the AHCA, the total number of uninsured would stand at 52 million in 2026, approximately 19% of the US population under age 65. By comparison, approximately 10% of nonelderly Americans currently are uninsured, and the CBO projects that the uninsured population in the US would remain about that level each year through 2026 under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
According to the CBO, the nongroup health insurance market "would probably be stable in most areas" under either the ACA or the AHCA.
AHCA summary
House Republican leaders introduced the AHCA last week. The bill is intended to repeal key provisions of the ACA and enact alternative health care policies via the budget reconciliation process. In general, the AHCA would maintain the ACA's tax credits and states' option to expand Medicaid in their current forms through December 31, 2019.
Beginning January 1, 2020, the AHCA would repeal the ACA's income-based tax credits and replace them with new age-based tax credits that begin to phase down for individuals with incomes that exceed $75,000 annually ($150,000 for joint filers). In addition, the AHCA would repeal the higher federal Medicaid contributions for states that expanded Medicaid under the ACA and limit federal funding to state Medicaid programs on a per capita basis.
For a more complete summary of the AHCA see last week's Reg Pulse blog.
Key provisions of CBO analysis
Reflecting the restructuring of federal tax credits for the purchase of health insurance coverage, programmatic changes to Medicaid and the repeal of numerous tax provisions, the CBO projects that the AHCA would reduce the federal budget deficit by $337 billion from 2017 through 2026.
Highlights of key provisions of the CBO analysis are provided below.
Health coverage
The CBO projects that the AHCA's elimination of tax penalties under the ACA's individual mandate would result in about 4 million additional people becoming uninsured in 2017. The number of additional uninsured would increase to 14 million in 2018 and to 16 million in 2019, largely as a result of the elimination of penalties in the individual market.
In 2020, the CBO and Joint Committee for Taxation (JCT) project that the elimination of the individual mandate penalties in conjunction with the AHCA's health insurance tax credit and Medicaid provisions would result in 21 million more people being uninsured 2 than would be under the ACA. This figure includes projections of:
The CBO and JCT project that 48 million people under age 65 – 17% of the nonelderly population – would be uninsured in 2020 under the AHCA.
By 2026, the CBO and JCT project that 24 million more people in the US would be uninsured3 than would be under the ACA. This projection includes:
The CBO and JCT project that 52 million people under age 65 – 19% of the nonelderly population – would be uninsured in 2026 under the AHCA.
As a result of the AHCA's age-based tax credits and more permissive rules for age rating (see below), the CBO and JCT project that the increase in the uninsured population would be disproportionately larger among older people with lower incomes, e.g., individuals ages 50 to 64 with annual incomes that do not exceed 200% of the federal poverty level ($24,120 for 1 person in 2017).4
Individual market premiums
The AHCA would generally result in higher premiums in the nongroup market in 2018 and 2019, with the CBO projecting that premiums would be 15% to 20% higher than projected under the ACA. Premiums generally would be higher as a result of the repeal of penalties under the ACA's individual mandate.
The CBO and JCT project that beginning in 2020, the increase in average premiums in the individual market would be "more than offset" by the combination of three factors:
As a result, the CBO and JCT project that premiums for single policyholders in the nongroup market will be 10% lower than projected under the ACA. That said, the CBO analysis highlights that premiums would vary for people of different ages as a result of an AHCA provision that would permit insurers to charge older enrollees five times as much as younger enrollees (age rating of 5:1), rather than three times as much under the ACA (age rating of 3:1).
Arising from the structure of the AHCA's age-based tax credits, the CBO and JCT project that a larger share of enrollees in the nongroup market would be younger people and a smaller share would be older people than under the ACA. By 2026, the CBO and JCT project that premiums in the nongroup market would be 20% to 25% lower for a 21-year-old; 8% to 10% lower for a 40-year old; and 20% to 25% higher for a 64-year-old than under the ACA.
The CBO and JCT project that the AHCA's age-based tax credits on average in 2020 would be about 60% of the average tax credit and subsidy available under the ACA. By 2026, the CBO and JCT project that the average AHCA tax credit would be about 50% of the ACA's tax credit and subsidy.
In addition, the CBO indicates that the AHCA's elimination of the ACA's actuarial value requirements for plans eligible for purchase with federal tax credits could result in insurers offering more plans with less generous benefits and premiums that are closer to the amounts of the AHCA's tax credits. As a result, individuals' cost-sharing payments, including deductibles, in the nongroup market "would tend to be higher than those anticipated" under the ACA, according to the CBO.
The CBO and JCT estimate that the AHCA's repeal of the ACA's higher federal Medicaid contributions for states that expanded Medicaid under the ACA and the enactment of per capita caps on federal Medicaid funding would reduce federal Medicaid spending by $880 billion from 2017 through 2026. This provision would result in Medicaid spending being 25% lower in 2026 than what CBO projects under the ACA. Fourteen million fewer people would be expected to be enrolled under Medicaid in 2026 under the AHCA.
As a result of changes the AHCA would make to federal funding to states for the ACA's expansion population, the CBO projects that the higher federal matching rate would apply for fewer than 5% of enrollees newly eligible under the ACA by the end of 2024.
Tax provisions
The CBO projects that the AHCA would reduce federal revenue by $883 billion from 2017 to 2026, including a $210 billion reduction in revenue stemming from the elimination of tax penalties under the ACA's individual and employer mandates.
Notable among the repealed tax provisions not directly related to the ACA's health coverage mandates are the increased Medicare hospital insurance tax ($117.3 billion from 2017 through 2026), the surtax on investment income for higher income individuals ($157.6 billion from 2017 through 2026), and the ACA's health insurer fee ($144.7 billion from 2017 through 2026).
Status of the legislative process
The House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over Medicaid provisions, and the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax provisions, approved their respective sections of the bill Thursday, March 9, 2017.
The House Budget Committee is expected to consider the AHCA on Thursday, March 16. Changes to the legislation may be incorporated by the House Rules Committee before it is brought before the full House for a vote. If approved by the full House, the bill would then go to the Senate for consideration.
Congressional Republicans are using the budget reconciliation process to move the AHCA to make it possible for the Senate to consider and pass the bill with a simple majority of 51 votes, rather than 60 votes generally needed to bring legislation up for a vote under Senate rules. As a result, the provisions of the legislation must meet strict criteria as to whether the individual provisions are specifically related to the federal budget deficit, taxes or the federal debt limit. The Senate parliamentarian would review any challenges to specific provisions in the legislation and rule on whether the provision could be included in the reconciliation bill or would have to be removed.
Once reconciliation legislation is cleared by the Senate parliamentarian, the Senate could take up the bill. If there were no amendments to the House bill, the Senate could pass it with at least 51 votes and send the bill directly to President Trump's desk. If there were amendments to the bill in the Senate, the Senate could approve the bill with at least 51 votes, and it would go back to the House for a final up or down vote.
Congressional Republicans' goal is to send legislation to President Trump for signature into law before adjourning for spring recess on April 7, 2017.

Dismissal of Felony Marijuana Delivery Charges
Have you been charged with possession of marijuana or any other drugs like cocaine, heroin? Did you know that even just the possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor in the State of Michigan and is punishable by up to 1 year in jail? A second offense for possession of marijuana is a two year felony. That is completely ridiculous. Hopefully there will be a complete change in the marijuana law in Michigan soon. For now, any of these cases should be fought in court.
Simple possession of heroin or cocaine is a four year felony.
Here at The Law Offices of Barton Morris we are here to help our clients defend their drug possession charges. Whether you have been charged with marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or prescription drugs, contact our specialized drug defense attorneys that have the experience necessary and the knowledge to understand what it takes to help fight for your rights.
The best ways to fight these cases is to attack the law enforcement search and seizure. Our lawyers are experts at fourth amendment constitutional law. Mastering these arguments are what make the best drug defense lawyers. There also also great defenses related to constructive possession or mere presence.
Best Drug Defense Attorney in Michigan
Controlled substance offenses also carry license sanctions, even though the offense may have nothing to do with the person's driver's licenses, the state of Michigan penalizes controlled substance offenses with a driver license suspension of 6 months. Our license restoration attorneys understands what it takes to help get your license restored.
A judge does have the right to amendment it after the first 30 days, the judge can change it to a restricted license if there is a hardship demonstrated if it makes it difficult for the offender to get to work or take care of the family or go to school. Don't take a chance one your own to restore your license. Contact us to help demonstrate your hardships of being without a license.
Possession of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Deliver
If you are charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, you will be facing a felony charge according to Michigan law. Drugs are classified as schedule 1 through 5, and depending on the classification and the amount found in your possession, the penalties vary.
Ways to attack these charges include challenging the evidence of intent to deliver. Just because there is a large weight of controlled substances does not automatically mean there is an intent to deliver. Our lawyers are experts at challenging the prosecution's "experts" who are just cops who always testify on the prosecutions side anyway.
Possession of a Controlled Substance without a Prescription
Prescription drugs, although considered a controlled substance, are not your typical street drugs. Even though certain controlled substances are safe and have legal and therapeutic uses, possessing them without a valid prescription can be a felony. If you are in possession of a prescription drug and don't have a valid prescription in your own name to show a police officer, you may be charged with this crime.
Possession of Marijuana
If you have been accused of possession of marijuana in Michigan, which can include marijuana extracts such as hash oil, earwax, and edible THC, you will be faced with harsh criminal punishments which can include jail time and fines. Not to mention, if convicted you may be ineligible for student loans and grants, you may be barred from military service, many landlords will not rent to you, your driving privileges will be suspended, and most employers won't hire you with a drug issue either.
Delivery of Cocaine or Heroin Under 50 Grams
If you are charged with delivery of a controlled substance, such as cocaine or heroin, you will be facing a felony charge according to Michigan law. Cocaine is classified as a schedule 2 drug, and the penalties for delivery are severe. Common schedule II drugs are considered to have a high potential for abuse and include such drugs as: opium, cocaine, morphine, OxyContin, Adderall and hydrocodone.
Possession of Cocaine or Heroin Between 50-450 Grams
According to Michigan law, possession with intent to deliver cocaine in an amount between 50-450 grams is a 20-year felony. You will need an experienced criminal defense attorney, like Barton Morris, fighting for you. In Michigan, the potential for abuse is a critical factor in determining which schedule a drug is placed in, and Cocaine is one of the most highly abused drugs out there.
First Drug Offense Diversion Program – 7411
A 7411 deferral allows a person who has no prior drug crimes on their record to plead guilty to a Drug Possession charge, and then have that "guilty" plea and charge dismissed after a certain period of time (called a probation). Once you satisfactorily complete the probation period your entire case will be dismissed and there will be no public record of it. The length and term of any probation period are decided by the Judge at your sentencing hearing; and, can range from non-reporting probation to monthly reporting probation with mandatory drug and alcohol testing.
Medical Marijuana Defenses
The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) was passed in 2008 and it allows for the medical use of marijuana in the state of Michigan. There are two categories of people who are legally permitted to handle medical marijuana under the MMMA. If you have been charged with a Marijuana related drug crime, you will need an experienced medical marijuana Michigan drug attorney to defend your case, such as Barton Morris and the Cannabis Legal Group.
Manufacturing of a Controlled Substance
The State or the Federal government often charge a person for playing a part in the cultivation or manufacture of a drug. The term "manufacture" can include preparing, packaging, repackaging, labeling, relabeling or processing of an imitation controlled substance, either directly or indirectly. The term "cultivation" can include such things as planting cannabis seeds. Drugs are classified as schedule 1 through 5, and depending on the classification and the amount you manufactured, the penalties vary.
Possession and Distribution of Controlled Substance Fentanyl
Fentanyl along with other 'reconstituted' prescription Schedule II controlled substances such as Vicodin and Oxycodone, are prosecuted harshly when being bought, sold and distributed illegally in Michigan. Most prosecutions and convictions are based upon the intent of the seller or user along with the amount that was used. A conviction for possession, use and distribution of illegal narcotics such as fentanyl carry heavy penalties. Prosecutors also charge fentanyl that is mixed with heroin which becomes a forensic science issue.
Barton Morris is Michigan's only lawyer that has been certified by the American Chemical Society as a Forensic Lawyer-Scientist. That means he has the training and expertise to effectively handle drug cases in ways other lawyers cannot. He has been voted a Super Lawyer every year since 2014 and is a 2011 graduate of the Trial Lawyer's College.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 8, 2015) - NovX21 Inc. ("NovX21" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NOV) is pleased to announce its intention to complete a private placement of units of the Corporation (the "Units") as described in the press release of April 7, 2015.
The Corporation is undertaking a private placement (the "Offering") for a minimum of 1,000 units of the Company (the "Units") and a maximum of 2,500 units at a unit price of $1,000 resulting in maximum gross proceeds of $2,500,000.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to complete the financing of a new commercial plant for the recovery of precious metals of the Platinum Group (Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium or PGMs) in Thetford Mines, Quebec, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Existing shareholders of NovX21 are invited to participate in the proposed ancillary private placement of NovX21 (the "Ancillary Private Placement to Shareholders" and, together with the Private Placement, the "Offering"). Existing shareholders of NovX21 who wish to participate in the Ancillary Private Placement to Shareholders are encouraged to contact the Agent by email at firstname.lastname@example.com for additional information.
Only shareholders of the Corporation who, as of the share register record date of April 7, 2015 held Common Shares of the Corporation and continue to hold Common Shares at the time of closing may participate in the Ancillary Private Placement to Shareholders. The aggregate subscription cost to an existing shareholder for the Units subscribed under the Ancillary Private Placement to Shareholders cannot exceed $15,000, unless such shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer.
Existing shareholders who are residents of the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut may participate in the Ancillary Private Placement to Shareholders and existing shareholders resident in countries other than Canada will need to meet local jurisdiction requirements to participate. Shareholders resident in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador are not permitted to participate in the Ancillary Private Placement to Shareholders.
About NovX21
NovX21 operates an industrial prototype plant for the recovery of Platinum Group Elements (Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium, or PGMs). The plant is located near Quebec City in St-Augustin-de-Desmaures. Its patented process yields more than 97% recoveries of PGMs, and is not only much less capital extensive but also operates much more rapidly than conventional plants, thus dramatically lowering the amount of time that its customers' capital is tied up as work-in-process inventory. NovX21's mission is to sustainably recover precious metals by recycling end-of-life PGM containing components while meeting global "green" standards for the automobile industry.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

It has been almost 3 months since my last post. And I know that is a recipe for disaster for a blog, and I could make up all sorts of excuses. But I won't.
I am back today to share with you all something very close to my heart. I don't know if anyone will read this, and if, then I don't know who. I just wanted to get this out, as it has been weighing on me for almost a year now.
Losing someone you love to anything (an illness, a car crash, an accident) is something that happens to people all around the world every day. But somehow, you are so sure that something like that could never happen to you. It's always on the news: mass murders, war, children getting cancer, it's all around you. You probably drive by it every day on your way to work, whether it be a dark alley, or the hospital. And yet it is so far away, surreal almost.
That's how it was for me. It was always just in the back of my head and the possibility of someone close to me leaving this world before I was ready to part with them never crossed my mind. Then my best friend got sick. My best and only friend at the time. The only person I could turn to when I had boyfriend drama, or if I was homesick in a land thousands of miles away from my own family. She was my boyfriend's little sister, not quite 19, the kindest person that had a billion acquaintances who all only had good things to say about her and always wanted to feel loved by her. How can someone so young be so pure and wise? If there is such a thing as a soul mate, she is it for me.
When I found out that she had leukemia 1 year after my boyfriend's oldest sister was diagnosed with the same sickness, I was in shock, but I was sure she would live. Her older sister had lived and was out of the red, so she would, too. I didn't cry, but I brought her home made healthy sweets, I tried not to bother her too much because I knew she was being contacted left and right and it was overwhelming her. But it was her own damn fault that she was so loved and everyone wanted to express their concern for her and send her their good wishes and their prayers. When she needed me, I was there. I visited her when she asked and as often as I could. Sometimes she seemed like nothing had changed, but there were days where she felt sick, or she was in a pain that I could not relate to, and there was nothing I or anyone could do to help, we were completely powerless. She was scared, but didn't want me to worry. That is just the way she was, always thinking about others' well being. With the treatments she became weaker and more easily exhausted, but her spirit was always stronger.
As time went on I got scared too… it suddenly became a reality. Her test results kept fluctuating and there was no surety to be found within a light-year's radius. A month after her 19th birthday, June 11th, I got a message at work that she had blood poisoning due to a bout of pneumonia, and they were saying she may not make the night. It was 11 in the morning. I rushed to get to the hospital as fast as possible, but it was an hour's drive. 45 minutes after receiving the message she was gone. Just like that. My whole world froze and I fell apart, not able and not strong enough to hold myself together, and completely alone. I couldn't breathe, the sobs were wracking my body, and there was no way it was possible. A person's being, their life force, can't just disappear like that without a trace. Saying it out loud made it real. Too real. She had had plans, she wanted to study medicine, or become an osteopath. She wanted to get married and have children. She wanted to travel the world.
I have never felt so empty. When I woke up the next morning, the feeling I had after realizing it was all true can only be described as utter despair, a gaping black hole. I will never be able to talk to her again, I can never see her roll her eyes or hear her laugh or kiss her. I felt so angry. It was so unjust, to have someone taken away from you so quickly and so suddenly. And I was so sure it would never get better. And it didn't, for a long time. I cried myself to sleep for months. When something happened whether good or bad, my immediate reaction was to contact her, and then it would hit me all over again. I was so scared that my memories of her would disappear, I was and still am so sad that my children will never get to meet probably the greatest aunt in the world.
I just want to say, that the pain doesn't go away. I don't want it to go away. It is a reminder to me that I loved her while she was on this earth, and I still do. I will always have her in my heart and will always love her.

Better(http://oxforddictionaries.com...): more desirable, satisfactory, or effective (IN THIS CASE this is specific to the desirability, satisfaction and effectiveness as a man).
Man(http://oxforddictionaries.com...): a person with the qualities associated with males, such as bravery, spirit, or toughness.
Let's take a Black man:
Usain St. Leo Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the fastest person ever.[1][2][3] He is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time-measurements became mandatory in 1977. Along with his team mates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, the first man to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and a five-time World champion. He was the first to achieve a "double double" by winning 100 m and 200 m titles at consecutive Olympics (2008 and 2012),[4] and topped this through the first "double triple" (including 4x100m relays).[5]
His 2009 record breaking margin for 100 m, from 9.69 seconds (his own previous world record) to 9.58, is the highest since the start of fully automatic time measurements.[6]
His achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt",[7] and awards including the IAAF World Athlete of the Year, Track & Field Athlete of the Year, and Laureus Sportsman of the Year (twice). He is the highest paid athlete ever in track and field.[8] He has been called the world's most marketable athlete[9] and the greatest athlete ever.[10][11][12]
Lying in his reinforced bed, 58-stone Keith Martin defended the estimated £50,000 a year he costs the taxpayer – by comparing himself to others who receive help, such as smokers or injured rock climbers.
Believed to be the world's fattest man, the bed-bound 42-year-old cannot even roll over on his own.
Despite the huge drain on public funds, Mr Martin, who has been unable to work for more than a decade, said: 'It's either that or I would end up dead. Until people have lived like it, they can't judge.

Let's take William Henry "Bill" Gates :)
He's a white guy........
is an American business magnate and philanthropist. Gates is the former chief executive and current chairman of Microsoft, the world's largest personal-computer software company, which he co-founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third; in 2011 he was the wealthiest American and the second wealthiest person. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with 6.4 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts. In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January 2000. He remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work, and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect, and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer. Gates's last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. He remains at Microsoft as non-executive chairman.
Let us get back to the debate.
Think about Nelson Mandela. A saint to say the least.
Here is my proof.
Warren Buffet- an extremely successful business man.
White men and black men are equals.
NOt equals. By the way I meant http://wggb.images.worldnow.com... the link for Mr De'Shawn Tyrese.
Neither in what they've done for South Africa nor financially. As I said, your resolution contains two parts:
1) A black man is no better than a white man, This I have disproven since even Nelson Mandela is superior to Warren Buffet in political contribution.
2) It is the same in reverse. Well no. I have shown throughout the entire debate that white men tend to be better than black men in a DIFFERENT way!
All in all I hope the video refreshes your soul. ;

In reply to:
Re: Adams Cherokee Families
Looking for my Cherokee heritage, not sure where to start (post this) except for in the Adams Cherokee Families area.Lets start with me and work backwards.Margaret Lynn Macom, supposedly 1/4 Cherokee, had a full sister and two half siblings.Father's name is Luck Davis Macom, sisters were/are Lola Mae Macom, Mattie O'Dessa Lee Macom born from Flora Mae Adams (full Cherokee or maybe half not sure of the amount, also she was adopted by the Adams family), married to Jimme (James?) Arthur Macom.Flora died of pneumonia and then Jimmie died not too soon after while the kids were no older than their teens.I was born in Texarcana, Texas, but the family came from Arkansas, mabe even with relatives in Oklahoma, not sure.Remember hearing that the brother of Flora Adams claimed the inheritance, land/money, not sure which but it had to do with being Cherokee.Also, from what I understand from my two aunts is the reason we can't find any information on Flora Mae is the Bowie County court house burnt down.Not sure when, but theres no birth, marriage or death certificates to be found.
Not sure if this information helps anybody to do with Cherokee heritage, but would appreciate any information from anybody if there is any?Oh, some birth dates are Luck Davis Macom - 06-22-1926?, Lola Mae Macom - 07-24-20, Mattie O'Dessa Lee Macom - 02-10-19 I believe.Thanks for any info.

Water Survey Coming Soon…
We would like to make you aware of a survey you will be asked to complete on our water shortly. The survey is an effort by the CVRD to learn about resident's attitudes around water. It aims to provide the CVRD with information that would be useful in shaping programs and policies that best reflect residents' needs and wants.
In addition to learning about Shawnigan resident's knowledge and attitudes towards water quality issues, a key purpose of the survey is to learn how resident's value potential future water quality improvements. This is done through a series of "choice" questions in which respondents are asked to indicate whether they would support a hypothetical program to improve water quality.
The survey design is being led by an environmental economist and researcher at Brock University, with cooperation from water experts at the University of Victoria, among others. We have been advised "this initiative is happening at no added cost to residents, and is a great opportunity" to take advantage of the expertise being offered. The SRA supports this initiative in principle and looks forward to reviewing the results, as well as proposed improvements that derive from it.

UK comedy show is an 'act of terrorism' against Muslims
A petition calling for the banning of a BBC2 comedy sketch – The Real Housewives of ISIS – has branded it 'an act of terrorism against Muslim women'.
The creator of the petition, Emma Bird, stupidly gives the impression that the sketch was to herald the start of a new comedy series about Muslim women.
Wrong! According to this report, it was just a one-off skit – part of a new comedy series called Revolting.
Nonetheless, over 38,000 people have signed the petition which says:
IT SHOWS WOMEN IN FULL ISLAMIC WEAR AND This is a mockery of the muslim woman and insults those whom are held the highest in Islam. Does much need to be said of u have seen the clip[sic].
The sketch poked fun at the violent extremists of ISIS and showed the the characters taking selfies, tweeting out phrases, and asking each other if they look attractive in suicide vests. One character in a niqab says there is a beheading coming up in three days and she has "no idea what I'm gonna wear", while another says:
Ali bought me a new chain, which is eight-foot long, so I can almost get outside, which is great.
She is shown chained to a stove.
It appeared once on the January 3 episode, and BBC sources say the idea was a one-off and the show never planned to develop it any further.
27 responses to "UK comedy show is an 'act of terrorism' against Muslims"
No it doesn't; there's no such thing.
"There is no joy in islam".
So said the evil Ayatolah Khomeni.
This article is yet another example of the muslim hair trigger sensitivity and grossly disproportionate reaction to anything that muslims can interpret as a criticism. Note that mild critique = a mortal insult to a muslim.
Seems there is no humour in islam either. And muslim women really don't have anything to laugh at do they. Their life is one of drudgery, suppression, exploitation, fear and dehumanisation.
A wag recently observed that the female muslim is a combined sex toy and domestic appliance. Not all are such I'm sure but many are. And such women need to understand that using that stereotype as a basis for satirical humour can only be beneficial in their fight for their human rights. That is assuming that they want to have their human rights respected by their menfolk, who incidentally are dead set against it.
I would have thought the name of the show – Revolting – should have been a bit of a clue?
I now regularly watch the show, though their skits are not always as funny as the one about the ISIS housewives.
The show's contents are offensive to everyone – not just to ISIS housewives.
The objectors need to get over it – it is just humour.
The Streisand Effect is real.
Thank you, Barry. I thought that I would have to wait for the repeat of the show to see this sketch as I read about it on the day after it was broadcast. And you know what a bunch of PC cowards the BBC are, I expected them to remove the sketch from the repeat… We'll see. The only thing that I thought was 'doubtful' in the sketch was that the women didn't have their faces covered but, then, you probably wouldn't understand what they were saying. Congratulations to the 'Revolting' production team. A big shame that you have all been added to the islamofascist death lists. More sketches like this please and get them on YouTube as soon as possible. No point in trying to add it to Facebook, with their pro ISIS stance, they would destroy it and you on behalf of their saudi mates as soon as it appeared.
Newspaniard: You can watch it on iPlayer!
These "in your face" comedies tend to promise more than they deliver, but it was refreshing to see Islam being openly satirised for once.
Matt: What makes you think that they want their human rights? The women amongst the Plymouth Brethren were expected to be "keepers at home", despite all the platitudes about their role being "different but equal", and they just sat meekly in meetings and accepted all this because the alternative would have been war. Some obviously weren't happy about it, and, as I've said before, the very existence of "women's groups", "women's meetings", etc, showed up the hypocrisy of the situation, and there was much friction, to say the least, in assemblies where even that degree of freedom was considered "unscriptural". I was often aware of the frustration of intelligent, capable women married to men who were, to say the least, a bit "thick", and having to button their tongues and assume a subordinate role!
Is anyone really surprised Muslims don't want their bullshit mocked? Christian demonstrate the same outrage, although with not as much violent reprisals, it would seem.
38K signatures is quite a few. I imagine most of them would be Muslims signing it.Non-Muslims signing it are detestable cowards.
Facts and Data … thats what.
'This is a mockery of the muslim woman and insults those whom are held the highest in Islam.'
That could be read two ways. If Emma Birdbrain means that women are held highest in Islam, then she is clearly either deluded or lying. They aren't. They are held as chattel. However, if she means that ISIS are held the highest in Islam then she probably isn't too far off the mark.
I'm surprised that they had the balls to present the sketch in the first place. None of the characters had posh accents. Is that something to do with the English class system?
By claiming that the sketch insults Muslims in general, Emma Bird also stupidly gives the impression that ISIS is a legitimate expression of Islam. Of course it is, however we really can't admit the obvious can we?
Justin: every religious people shows outrage when their beliefs are mockered. The difference is that nowadays you can criticize and mock every religion but you can't hurt muslims sensitivities.
So much, that even Charlie Hebdo seems have capitulated.
Let's see….. killing and bombing others is a holey act.
Laughing at isLame is terrorism!!! You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means!!!!!
L.Long: I have a teeny weeny suspicion that labelling this comedy as an "act of terrorism", if not actually opening the way for violent protest or retribution, is at least meant to instil fear into either the broadcasters or others who might be tempted to follow in their footsteps. Or I might be completely wrong, of course.
Gui you would capitulate pretty quickly if thousands of AK47 wielding mentally ill lawless hate riddled fundamentalist muslim shitehawk thugs were told to do gods will by ruthlessly gunning you down at your place of work after being given all your personal details.
Muslim sensitivities are mortally offended by things as trivial as Peppa Pig.
The only way muslims can justify islam is by shoving the muzzles of assault rifles in in the faces of kuffars.
I think young Emma can be awarded the Fuckwit of the Month award now. 1/It's not a series, just a one-off, 2/ She expresses pleasure at the number of signatories , seemingly oblivious to the fact that the sketch is widely available, and her petition has not changed a blind thing. 3/ As others have said, if you regard Housewives as illegitimate satire, by extension, you could well be seen as regarding ISIS as a legitimate strand of Islam. Did you really want to let that one slip, Emma?
I doubt Emma Bird is a muslim. More likely to be a christian, which is just like being a muslim except that these days the christians can't resort to extreme and indiscriminate murder, as they once did, to force their dogma onto others.
BUt note how the religions these days are working towards uncomforatable and alliances just to stave off the rise and eventual victory of secularism.
And Emma Bird should be ashamed of her traechery towards her downtrodden sisters in the muslim world.
Matt: She does sound like a student, texting from the comfort of her safe space, shielded from anything that contradicts her world view.I initially assumed she was just another useful idiot But she does call it" our" religion in the petition. Some Islamofascists might not take too kindly to a non-Muslim female pretending to be of their faith….
Ooh – she couldn't be distantly related to "stay at home Mum" Emma Bird (another darling of the Daily Mail, and proud mother of Ottilie), could she?
Just a thought!
@andym: You're right.
It also pairs our beautiful religion with bombs and guns.
(Irony meter explodes)
And whom else has noticed her poor grasp of the use of…erm, "whom" in English? She makes the mistake at least twice.
Sounds like someone who has studied cultural relativism and for junk post-modernist subjects like that a knowledge of English and grammar is not required to get a degree.
It could be the annoying and opinionated Bird from the Mail but I tend to go for an idiot student of no fixed intellect.
It appeared once on the January 3 episode, and BBC sources say the idea was a one-off and the show never planned to develop it any further.
The clip itself includes a trailer for a second episode. Artistic licence or the Beeb changing its mind later?
I think it was part of the Real Housewives programme/parody rather than anything that was going to show on Revolting the next week.
The petition wording is very badly written and this may be a troll.
The wording implies 'she' might be muslim – but it's isn't clear as the writing is so poor and frankly idiotic, that is even if she is a female. Moreover, why not show your face if you are so supportive of islam? And why is 'she' showing her hair ?
Barriejohn I don't think it's the same person as the Mail report.
The problem with islam is they really believe what they say they believe and that's a very very dangerous thing. And we all know how dangerous some islamic are.
They believe more strongly than the other religions that they are right and every one other religion is wrong and nothing whatsoever can be said against it – mild or otherwise, islam and nothing about it is up for debate – ever. Even the moronic parts like mo flying to 'heaven' on a winged horse or that the koran is poorly written and illogical in many places. No debate. It's the inerrant word of gawd- submit or die or be killed it's really that simple.
Islam ought to be mocked for it has no special place, no special direction, no special answer to life, no special understanding, it is irrational and idiotic to believe something that frankly is so patently false.
Never once, like all the other gawds, has their islamic gawd appeared. In 2000 years – all of us are still waiting.
Now my irony meter's gone up in smoke. A comment underneath the petition complains of covered women being "invisible in the media." Er…er…er. Isn't that the idea??
Muslim women collude in their own oppression, but are unaware that they do so. They do not consider themselves to be oppressed by their religion; rather, they regard themselves as being oppressed by those who oppose, mock or vilify it. Hence, I can feel no sympathy for them. Yes, I am heartless and cruel, and proud to be so.
The petition was started at least 2 weeks ago and has "stuck" at around 38,000 signatures.
The thinking behind it is – at best – semi-literate.
It was addressed to the following:-
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party Theresa May MP
Leader of Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn MP
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan
Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party David Cameron MP
Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg MP
The petition initiator obviously needs to sharpen up her (?) political knowledge on Nick Clegg and David Cameron.
The petition was started in opposition to the proposed running of the clip and has, therefore, clearly failed to achieve its objective. It is a completely failed petition.
Revolting is, well, revolting on occasions and deliberately designed to be highly offensive to people and ways of thinking in power.
It may lack the sophistication of TW3 and Private Eye but it is still good for a bit of a laugh and in these possibly troubled times, we can all always do with some of that.

Multiple mass shootings by deranged young men have made keeping firearms out of the hands of mentally ill people a big part of the gun debate.
Given the enormity of those crimes, that is understandable. Federal law does, in fact, prohibit gun ownership by mentally ill people if a judge has found them to be dangerous or they have been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital.
But a focus on mass murder, while critical, does not get at the broader issue of gun violence, including the hundreds of single-victim murders, suicides, nonfatal shootings and other gun crimes that occur daily in the United States. And focusing on the mentally ill, most of whom are not violent, overlooks people who are at demonstrably increased risk of committing violent crimes but are not barred by federal law from buying and having guns.
These would include people who have been convicted of violent misdemeanors including assaults, and those who are alcohol abusers. Unless guns are also kept from these high-risk people, preventable gun violence will continue.
VIOLENT MISDEMEANORS Federal law prohibits felons from buying and possessing firearms; it also bars people convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. But it permits gun purchase and ownership by people convicted of other violent misdemeanors, defined variously under state laws, including assault and battery, brandishing a weapon or making open, credible threats of violence. Many people convicted of violent misdemeanors were originally charged with felonies but then convicted of lesser charges because of plea bargains. And research shows that people who have been convicted of any misdemeanors and who then legally buy a handgun are more likely to commit crimes after that gun purchase than buyers with no prior convictions.
Continue reading the main story
Other studies also suggest that alcohol abuse is a factor in the association between gun ownership and the criminal justice system. The difficulty in policing alcohol abuse for purposes of gun control is that there is no precise definition of abuse.
President Obama has instructed the Justice Department to review the federal prohibitions on gun ownership and to make legislative and executive recommendations "to ensure dangerous people aren't slipping through the cracks." The answers are already out there.
An editorial on Sunday about expanding background checks for gun buyers misstated the way President Obama is carrying out his plan to curb gun violence. He has initiated executive actions; he did not issue executive orders.

Press Release:
Latest Group Outlook Survey from Prime Advantage Indicates Manufacturers Becoming Optimistic About Economy
Almost 40 Percent Predicting Revenue Increase in Last Half of 2009
Mike McDonald, Prime Advantage
Peter Wiltjer, PWMG, Inc.
|[printable version]
CHICAGO, September 2, 2009 - Prime Advantage, the leading buying consortium for midsized industrial manufacturers, announced the findings of its fourth Prime Advantage Group Outlook (GO) Survey, revealing the top economic concerns of midsized industrial manufacturers for the remainder of 2009. The study results reflect a growing sense of optimism returning to the manufacturing sector, in terms of improved revenues, customer demand and hiring expectations.
Among the highlights of the survey findings, 80 percent of respondents indicated that they expected revenue for the second half of 2009 to either stay the same or increase. This is a dramatic turnaround from the February GO Survey in which only 38 percent were predicting revenues to either stay the same as 2008 or increase. Also, just 31 percent said that capital spending would likely decrease from the first half of 2009, whereas the February GO Survey results found 66 percent of respondents indicating that capital spending would decrease from 2008 levels.
This turnaround is reflective of US Commerce Department data showing durable goods orders increased nearly five percent in July, and that they have steadily increased over the past few months. In addition, the ISM's PMI for August is also at its highest level in more than a year, and has reached a growth mode for the first time in 20 months.
Survey data was collected in August from 96 representatives of industrial manufacturing companies, including business owners, vice presidents of procurement and purchasing professionals. The survey polled respondents on their projections for the next six months of the year, in comparison to the past six months.
"The results of the latest Group Outlook Survey show that small and midsized industrial manufacturers, across many sectors, are seeing new orders materialize after many months of slow activity due to challenging financial and economic conditions, as they capitalize on new product development and new market penetration" said Louise O'Sullivan, president and founder of Prime Advantage. "With inventories lean, and reflective of demand, many manufacturers waited to replenish stock until as late as possible, but these results indicate that the recovery is starting to gain traction across a broad spectrum of our economy and that new orders are coming in."
Economic Outlook
Forty-three percent of respondents expect revenues to stay the same as the first half of 2009, up from the 26 percent that projected no increase from 2008 levels in the February GO Survey. Meanwhile, 25 percent expect revenue to increase up to ten percent and 12 percent are predicting an increase of more than ten percent for the rest of 2009.
In total, 80 percent are now expecting revenues in the last half of 2009 to either stay the same or increase, as opposed to just 37 percent of respondents believing revenues would stay the same or increase from 2008 when they responded to this question in February.
In addition, 86 percent of respondents indicated that capital spending for their US locations would either stay the same (55 percent) or decrease (31 percent) from the first half of 2009.
Yet, just 12 percent said they have seen an increase in business this year stemming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, while 33 percent said they expected to see an increase in 2010 or later from the ARRA economic stimulus program.
Top sourcing concerns for the second half of 2009 are an ability to focus on business process issues, such as cost savings and efficiency measurement, with 36 percent in agreement, followed by an ability to manage costs of raw materials (32 percent) and the costs of components (31 percent).
Top Expected Cost Pressures for Second Half of 2009
For the fourth GO Survey in a row, raw material costs (such as metals and plastics) are the top cost pressure concern, as cited by 53 percent. However, this has come down from the past two surveys, when 67 percent (Feb. 2009) and 93 percent (July 2008) mentioned it as the top cost pressure concern.
Overhead costs again ranked as the second greatest cost pressure at 24 percent (and down 26 percent from the February 2009 GO Survey, when it was cited by 50 percent of respondents). Logistics/supply chain costs continue to rank among the top three concerns, with 40 percent in agreement.
The top external concern facing small and midsized manufacturers is customer demand at 58 percent. This can be seen as an encouraging sign, since 83 percent indicated customer demand was their greatest concern in the February GO Survey. The second greatest concern was the state of credit markets and interest rates at 21 percent, followed by the 'cost of non-fuel commodities' at 16 percent.
Purchasing and Sourcing Strategy
All sectors of the economy have had to make concessions in 2009, and purchasing professionals are no different. Asked about what critical tasks have become lower priorities due to limited resources, 46 percent said the need to reduce or control costs on low volume items had been put on the back burner, while 42 percent said that the need to identify alternative and back-up suppliers and the need to implement a supplier evaluation system had been de-emphasized.
"Survey results indicating that procurement professionals have less time to implement supplier evaluation programs reinforces the confidence our members have in our ability to provide these services for them," said O'Sullivan. "It is at times like this when we are proud to be able to provide our members with a supplier network that is both pre-qualified and regularly audited, enabling our Manufacturer Members to have confidence in any Prime Advantage Supplier they would choose as a partner."
Eighty percent of survey respondents agreed that the level of direct goods they purchase from US-based vendors over the next 12 months would either stay the same (52 percent) or rise (28 percent).
Also, for non-US based vendor purchases, 66 percent said they would look to China as their low cost country of choice, while 14 percent said they would look to Mexico, 5 percent said they would look to India, and 15 percent said they would look outside these three locations.
Planning for the Future
Study results reveal that inflation is also a concern for small and midsized manufacturers, with 90 percent saying that they have seen or expect to see rising prices on raw materials over the next six months. In addition, 57 percent indicated the same belief for energy costs and 56 percent indicated this for the cost of components.
However, 82 percent said they believe their employment ranks will either stay the same or increase by the end of 2009.
And for the first time, respondents provided some insight into their marketing priorities, with 87 percent of respondents indicating that they allocate less than 25 percent of their overall marketing budgets to online marketing activities.
Methodology: In August, Prime Advantage surveyed executives and purchasing professionals that represent durable goods manufacturing firms, with annual revenues ranging between $10 million and $10 billion, of which the majority ranges between $20 million and $500 million. The survey received an 18% percent response rate from 528 professionals representing US-based manufacturers in more than 25 different industries, including commercial foodservice, packaging, truck and trailer, material handling, food processing and construction.
Since its inception, Prime Advantage has returned more than $82 million in rebates and discounts to its members. These real savings are helping U.S. manufacturers gain a powerful competitive advantage in the face of economic instability.

King Fahd Dies, But Saudi Policy Appears Stable
Gradualism Remains Likely As Abdullah Takes Throne After Years as de Facto Ruler
Saudi Arabia's King Fahd died yesterday, and his half brother Abdullah -- who as crown prince was his presumed successor -- immediately ascended the throne of the world's largest oil-exporting country, signaling the kingdom will maintain its gradualist approach to political and social change and will continue to use its role in the oil market to attempt to steady prices.
King Fahd, who suffered an incapacitating stroke in 1995, gave Abdullah de facto control of the kingdom more than a decade ago. Most important government...

Light at the Edge of Darkness
Edited by Cynthia MacKinnon
ISBN: 1-934284-00-1 (Trade Paperback)
Pages: 384
Pub. Date: April 2007
Publisher: The Writer's Café Press
Looking at the cover of Light at the Edge of Darkness at first glance the reader would have to assume the stories bound between the covers have something in common, something mysterious, even frightful. Yet, in the middle of that cover is the striking shimmering figure of Christ on the Cross, and then the reader would have to ask a second question, tales of hope in a dark place? It stands to reason. Light and Darkness have been clashing since before the Fall of Man, going back to the greatest Fall of all, Lucifer's rebellion and casting out.
This is a collection of Biblical speculative fiction written by members of the Lost Genre Guild. This collection of tales contains stories ranging from fantasy, sci-fi, all the way to cyberpunk–all written from a Christian world view. The groups main focus is to fill a void on Christian bookstore shelves hopefully to spill over into the secular realm. Will the average sci-fi / fantasy / horror reader shy away from such titles as these? Perhaps, but this is definitely the collection to change that perspective.
The authors of these stories are well crafted word-smiths, who have sharpened their pens and powered-up their word processors to brings some nail biting and chill-bumps to raise the hairs on the back of any reader's neck. Monsters, you bet, they're here. Aliens, killers, terrorists, all your thugs and symbols of evil abound to trample down the hopes of those trying to make it out. Though some of the stories border on dark, sinister themes, one has to realize that the true Dark that is out there is more evil and more sinister than what even Hollywood can envision. Some readers may draw offense to this collection, it is your choice. But there are some very good writers here and they have written from a place of hope, a place where the Darkness ends and the Light begins. Dare to venture, dare to walk the walk. There is always Light at the Edge of Darkness. — S.C. Macon, Editor

In 2012, Microsoft introduced their new touch screen operating system – the Windows 8. With the ongoing trend of touch screen interaction technology and with the launch of soon to be the world wide operating system, manufactures from laptop, desktop, pads and A-O-I computers are all investing their resource and energy into the war of developing the most compatible hardware for the market.
Windows 8 supports multi touch interaction, it is an advance in technology which we can all appreciate; however, there are still limitations which we can break through and improve. For example, while using Windows 8, we are still bounded to use the computer at certain environment because of hardware limitations. As users, we don't want to be trapped by these boundaries while using technology.
We have a solution, it's called Thor. Thor is an 18.4 inch wireless touch display which is accompanied by a hard drive sized wireless dongle. While comparing Thor to other hardware devices, it shows most resemblance with A-I-O computers; however, Thor does not have a processing system. Thor communicates with any computers which run on Windows 8 through its wireless dongle; the processing is done on the host computer while the result is shown on Thor. To better understand what Thor does, we can compare Thor to other devices; Thor offers better mobility than desktop computers; Thor offers better presentation conveniences than laptops (the most common reason to laptop hard drive failure is movements while laptop is turned on / sleep); while comparing to pads, Thor offers full potential of processing power; last but not least, Thor is much lighter and greatly more affordable compared to A-I-O computers. Thor is the perfect device to use in a home environment for file and picture sharing among family members.
Thor is a 10 point multi touch display with built in battery and wireless adaptor. The device is 2.26kg in weight and 16.5mm in thickness. Thor completely removes all I/O devices from the panel but offers a docking station which has charging ability and supporting I/O ports. The horizontal drawing structure allows users to adjust the screen for better viewing angles and can be easily detached and carried.
Computers these days are powerful and have already exceed our normal daily usages. One of the great concepts of Thor is the integration into desktop computers. With multi-threading technology, computers can simultaneously process activates like internet browsing, facebook, movies, Microsoft office and even gaming. Thor is not aimed to replace computer screens, it is however, the future trend to introduce and extend our smart-home experience.

In Hollywood turning 50 used to mean being instantly relegated to the role of grandma but these actresses show that age is just a number. Each of these beautiful and talented women are offering a different vision of entering the sixth decade of their impressive careers. Here are the secrets of women turning 50 in 2017.
Nicole Kidman

"Massage. I'm a huge believer in the medicinal effects of massage. I just feel like that's a huge part of my relaxation and it helps me to sleep, which is not my strong suit. When you have little kids, you just tend to wake up a lot, and that's my nature, to always be listening out."

I live in a suburb of Dallas. I grew up here. I remember when there used to be a building that flashed the message "Dallas:City of Excellence". Dallas has worked hard since 1963 to overcome the sad legacy of the JFK assassination. But too many in the minority community cling to an insular and often destructive pattern of living that includes all kinds of life decisions that insure generational poverty.
Single parents, lack of education, drug and alcohol abuse, chronic unemployment, petty crime escalating to major crime. And the answer is not that anyone else is forcing these decisions, people are choosing this path. Schools in the minority community are often a war zone. Any parent who can moves their children to church schools or charter schools. Neighborhoods are similarly dangerous because while these folks will call the police when they are personally in danger, those same people will look the other way when the criminals are relatives or people they know. Dallas exported its crime problems to the suburbs with housing policies that pushed public housing into suburbs that were not equipped to handle the social, physical and mental problems of this population.
So we have a swath of people who have failed to go to school to get skills to get a job who resent others who have taken those steps. While the media continues to push this as a race issue, in reality it is a socio-economic issue. Sure, there were some folks from the suburbs in the protest crowd, but I guarantee you none of the fools trying to provoke police into acting out for the purpose of social media fodder were educated, employed or without some sort of petty criminal or gang background. That group, the thugs, are the BLM demographic. They are poorly informed and easily motivated to violence. Across the nation that is happening thanks to a Justice Dept that is impotent and BLM, which is a provocateur organization that seeks violence first of all. Watch: http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/7-eleven-looted-in-the-wake-of-downtown-attack/267225394
Well said Ellen K. How terrible to see the changes that have occurred. And your point is well made — socio economic, not racist.
The police should stay home. Of course, that's ridiculous, but to put up with with these killings, these "protests" is insane.
And it is encouraged and supported by the Democrat Party via BLM and other organizations. Screw them.
No sympathy for the shooter whatsoever, but it is typical media fare that we can't call a terrorist an islamic terrorist, but this killer spends a small amount of time as a Reservist and now all the media can do is highlight that aspect of his life. Now he's a friggin' soldier.
Sick to death of it.
I agree, well said Ellen.
Well said, Ellen K. You are correct.
Actions have consequences.
Excellent. You nailed it, exposing these frauds and their actions brilliantly.
Excellent post, Ellen! Dallas was the epicenter of a failed social engineering project back in 2012, and now has the highest murder rate in the country.
Rumored Hillary running mate, Housing Secretary and former San Antonio mayor, Julien Castro, now has an October surprise that will bring murder and mayhem to every American suburb according to their upscale zip code. He doesn't even need Congressional approval.
The diabolical Obama has been saving 'the best' for last. Agenda 21 is on our doorstep!
Dallas does not have the highest murder rate in the country. It is not even listed in the top 30 (list below).
Without exception, every one of the cities has a dominant black population that is under educated,
and the family is almost always headed by a single parent, usually an under educated woman without a job. Living off the government is the only way of life they know.

I mis-read the article, sorry. States that Dallas has 'one of the highest murder rates'
Thank you, Ellen.
Great post and so very well said.
I'm down Fort Worth way at least a couple times a year and though I never miss leaving the traffic, I sure miss the people.
Pat Moynihan warned of all this 50 years ago. We are living nothing other than the consequences of failed government programs and the breakdown of the black family.
Democrats know this and they're scared to death that it actually gets reported for what it is. Hence the scapegoating and blaming racist cops, 5 of who lost their lives in Dallas Thursday night for nothing more than the DNC political agenda.
These truly are dangerous times.
Great post Ellen K…..as sad as it is.
Sometimes there is an advantage to triple digit temperatures. The heat kept away protestors in Phoenix last night. There were about 500 -1000 although the organizer expected 30,000. Hah! It was fairly peaceful until they tried to shut down I-10 and the police pepper sprayed the crowd. Three thugs were arrested for throwing rocks at the police. It's remarkable the Black Lives Matter group tried to persuade the Reverend to cancel his protest because of Dallas although some of of their members showed up last night. The Rev. lied to police about the protest route when he really planned all along to shut down the interstate. He should have been arrested too IMHO.
These demonstrations will occur for the rest of the summer.
The police need to quell them quickly, just like they did in this circumstance.
You just wait until the Republican Convention July 18–21. It will make the 1968 Chicago convention look like a walk in the park. We've already read how the activist groups are planning to try and destroy it. All protests being funded by the usual culprits, of course. The MSM will blame Trump for all the damage and destruction, of course. That's in their playbook.
Roger that Marcus.
What they SHOULD do, but won't, would be to put one of these riots down with lethal force. They'd stop thisfast if the malcontents ever got the idea that they might be arriving as so many protesters, but could end up leaving as so much cordwood.
Source: dailymail.co.uk Johnson became an Army Reserve member in 2009. He was sent for a tour in Afghanistan in 2014. He was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier and sent home with a recommendation for "other than honorable discharge."
Probably either a medical or general discharge.
Troops that attain an Honorable Discharge should be very proud of it.
Honorable Discharge
United States Army
I was proud to have had the privilege of wearing my country's uniform and to salute its Flag while wearing same.
But, I'm just an old man.
Me too Cisco.
I posted this link on the last thread.
Worth a look.
Full scale Noah's Ark.
This is what happens when the progressive vermin control the media and are supported by the government.
It is also what happens when vermin like Zuckerberg get lucky and make a lot of money and begin to think they are smart and somehow snowflake special when in fact they are same POS, can't get a date guy he was when he was in college.
Kinship between Zuckerberg and Obama is not difficult to understand.
That's why I do not Facebook.
FB would be far less powerful if all the people, especially conservatives, who complain about its biases and injustices would just stop using it.
But they don't. FB is convenient to keep up with friends, families, etc. And I suppose there are other reasons.
And we expect to "take our country back". Nope. Not if we continue to use and or patronize those we complain about, quite frankly , because it is too convenient. FB is just one example.
On a small level (and I am guilty of this, but try not to be)– providing links to a progressive or lefty site as a reference. Discuss it, but don't link it.
Don't patronize Starbucks. But….but coffee. And so many other examples.
No need to boycott. But at least live your own truth when and where you can. IMHO
Well now, here's a Patriot that has been there done that.
Some people can talk for hours and say nothing.
This man speaks for under 4 minutes and nails it.
Have 4 minutes to spare.
Give a listen.
I ment that comment about the link you posted AFVet, certainly NOT Obama!
Thank you Ellen….very informative….we certainly enjoyed our time visiting family in Fort Worth years ago..so sad to see what has happened now…still love Texas
A weekend in San Antonio was one of the best vacays our family had in years. The Alamo, the River Walk, the fine eateries, and the people! friendly, helpful, and so polite.
The River Walk, great food and the coldest Lone Star beer I've ever had.
Beautiful setting.
And then of course there's Lackland AFB, for the Air Force crowd…
And the Rampage, if you like minor league hockey. (If you're undecided, go see a game in person, and thank me later.)

LOS ANGELES — Sex tapes and horny amateurs are showcased in James Deen Productions newest releases, "James Deen's Sex Tapes: Hotel Sex 2" and "Amateur Applications 2." Both DVDs are now shipping and available through distributor Girlfriends Films.
"James Deen's Sex Tapes: Hotel Sex 2" features Deen and a group of starlets who are more than happy to make a sex tape for him to share with fans. Without the clutter and distraction of a film crew, Deen and five performers share in uninhibited sex in front of his private camera.
Shot in hotel rooms across the country, the movie features adult stars Dani Daniels, Grayson Z, Presley Hart, Rose Chief, and Violet.
"'Sex Tapes: Hotel Sex 2' shows James in raw, passionate moments where him and his co-stars have a little more freedom to be themselves," said James Deen Productions COO Shannon Kaehny. "These videos have a personal feel that makes them extremely hot and compelling, I think fans will appreciate this different side of erotica."
To view the trailer, box art, and photo stills for "James Deen's Sex Tapes: Hotel Sex 2," click here.
Real girls who apply online to do a scene with Deen — their all-time porn crush — show off their true talents in "Amateur Applications 2." The cast includes Effie, Mandy, Dolly Leigh, Emma Snow, and Saya Song.
"These horny amateurs definitely brought their A-game to this movie," Kaehny said. "From the get-go, James and these girls had great chemistry and went right at it without so much as any hesitation. The girls didn't hold back for a moment and showed the unabashed enthusiasm of finally getting to hook up with their all-time crush."

Both movies are shot in HD and set to street on Friday.
