2 New Court Decisions Are Quietly Eliminating Californians’ Second Amendment Rights – Reason.com

Monday, May 14, 2018

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.

So do these types of infringements apply to the First Amendment?

Senate demands transcript of Russian wiretaps, FBI interview that nabbed Michael Flynn – Washington Times

Monday, May 14, 2018

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.

How about a Federal law that requires all law enforcement “interviews” are video and audio recorded?  It seems that the FBI in untrustworthy.

(83) Sci Hub Opens Up a World of Knowledge – YouTube

Sci Hub has really stuck a proverbial thumb in the eye of paywall providers. If “We, The Sheeple” pay for the research by Gooferment grants, then why shouldn’t it be in the public domain?

SECURITY: Dump Verizon (aka AOL aka Yahoo) as well as your ISP email address NOW!

Monday, May 14, 2018

https://pjmedia.com/trending/yahoo-and-aol-can-now-read-your-emails-access-your-bank-records/

If you now have a Yahoo or AOL account, I recommend that you close your account.

​Seriously, not that I think​ Google is “Prince Charming”, but Verizon has now gone “over the edge”, imho.  Of course, it’s a giant PIA to change email addresses. 

That’s why I suggest that you have your own domain? The common wisdom, or is that common whizdumb, is to own your own name as a domain name. I own “reinke.cc”. (I like saying “sea sea me at reinke.cc”! me@reinke.cc will actually work!) I gives one quite a bit of control. 

And, it’s very cheap. I know three solutions at 15$/year using wordpressdotcom with gmail, 25$/year email only with 1and1, and 60$/year for domain+email+webspace also at 1and1. My point is not that you should use 1and1. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 I could care less which one you use. It’s that getting on to your own domain with email is cheap and easy. And, it’s not hotmail, yahoo, or gmail. It IS your own “personal brand”.

If you find out later that you’ve been abused by Verizon aka AOL aka Yahoo or your ISP, then you can’t say you did get warned.

Coffee shop refuses to serve man after racist rant

No place in America for a religious bigot like this fool. Other countries have have religious wars. We don’t need that here. If a woman wants to cover, then that’s her choice. It doesn’t matter what I think of the practice. I want religious freedom for her just like I want it for myself and every individual. If I was a patron, I hope I would have spoke up for all of us. Argh!

Anna Jarvis’ Big Mistake

Sunday, May 13, 2018

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. After all, something like a hand written note expressing your personal feelings is far superior, in her opinion, than some store bought card.

Heard this a few decades ago from a smart lady at Merrill Lynch was positive that “Mothers’ Day” was a giant conspiracy to milk the general public.  After reading this, maybe she was correct!

Forty-two percent of participants were children.

We need more accurate medical info sooner.

Follow the 5-to-1 Rule for Packaged Foods | NutritionFacts.org

Sunday, May 13, 2018

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.
