Reinke Faces Life

The California Rifle and Pistol Association can, of course, appeal both cases. But everyone paying even the slightest bit of attention already knows what the outcome will be before the largely anti-gun 9th Circuit. And the Supreme Court will likely ignore the warnings from Justice Thomas and Justice Gorsuch and refuse to take the cases.This is how the courts, quietly, one case at a time, without a vote, are making sure the Second Amendment simply will not apply within the state of California.

Fired FBI director James Comey has told two congressional committees that agents didn’t believe Mr. Flynn purposely misled them when he denied talking about two topics with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak––Obama-ordered sanctions and a pending United Nations vote. He had in fact discussed those two issues.

Jarvis responded by denouncing any commercialization of Mother’s Day, thinking any attempt to make money off of Mother’s Day – even if it was for a good cause – was wrong and not in the spirit of the thing.

Forty-two percent of participants were children.

As fiber intake goes up, the risk of metabolic syndrome appears to go down, with less inflammation and an apparent step-wise drop in obesity risk. It’s therefore no surprise that greater dietary fiber intake is associated with a lower risk of heart disease: There is a 9 percent lower risk for every additional 7 grams a day of total fiber consumed, which is just some rice and beans or a few servings of fruits and veggies.

Submitted by Mark Glennon of Wirepoints An audible gasp went out in the breakout room I was in at last month’s pension event cosponsored by The Civic Federation and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. That was when a speaker from the Chicago Fed proposed levying, across the state and in addition to current property taxes, a special property assessment they estimate would be about 1% of actual property value each year for 30 years.

This proposed tax would only address the five state pensions. What about the other 650-plus pensions in Illinois, particularly those for overlapping jurisdictions in Chicago which are grossly underfunded? The Fed was asked that at last month’s seminar and they, without explanation, said they didn’t bother to cover that.

By Dr. Mercola If you’re still holding out hope that science will eventually prove artificial sweeteners to be beneficial, or at the very least harmless, you’re likely to be disappointed.

But the crazier and more irrational it is, the more the state thrives on it — because the more coercion, propaganda, and state-sponsored groupthink it will take to engineer people’s agreement.Incidentally, this is why the state loves “equality” — a concept so compendiously broad that its definition can be endlessly expanded. The state grows ever more powerful and intrusive in pursuit of equality’s ceaseless demands.Equality can never be attained, for the very moment after we achieve it, when someone first voluntarily transacts with someone else, resources will have been shifted around and “equality” will already have been disturbed.That’s why the state loves it.And that’s why the state loves LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP. The more letters, the more bizarre to bourgeois sensibilities, the better. That means that in order to impose it, the state will get to flex — and bulk up — its muscles.

Why we shouldn’t subvert the Dead Old White Guys’ “Electoral College”!

Take a look at the post Dead Old White Guys’ First Ten and see how they screwed up the country. Some are confused and confusing (i.e., the 14th) — subject to misinterpretation; at least one was stupidly wrong (i.e., the 18th) — lead to organized crime that even the 21st couldn’t fix; and the biggest disaster (i.e., the 17th) — direct election of Senators — that deprived the States from preventing the Federal Gooferment from unfunded mandates and “buying” States cooperation with “Other People’s Money”.

Now we complain about “too much money in politics”, just repeal the 17th! Put the State Legislators back on the hot seat. Argh!

The students were encouraged to record their own voices to share their love with the first plant and give words of criticism to the second, either first hand or via social media interaction.
