1) If you CONTROL YOUR MIND, you CONTROL YOUR LIFE.
This is the foundation of every success theory ever written. It’s the “eat healthier; exercise more” of self-help. It’s also where most people fail, because the mind is a fickle, petulant child that hates discipline. To clarify, “control your mind” means…

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.

“Steal” more from property owners to “solve” only a part of a problem that they have no role in creating?
Sounds like a “great” idea.
Wonder who will turn out the lights when the last property owner abandons Illinois?

President Donald Trump may well be the most controversial president in history. Yes, much of that has to do with such a blatantly biased media that wants to make everything into a scandal ( remember when Trump got *gasp* two scoops of ice-cream?

I hope that this case can be used to overturn the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL gun ban.
Anyone feel treated by this fellow?
Where’s the GOFUNDME page for him?
Argh!

American Disney workers who were laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements have ended their legal battle after years of attempting to hold the corporation accountable.

Can’t trust corporations to have their workers’ interests at heart. There’s only one person watching out for you and that’s you! You need to be your own boss.
Success for future generations is: (1) ruthless financial discipline — no bad debt; (2) a life long interest in learning — education — a degree — they can’t take it away from you; (3) a NON-OFFSHORABLE white collar job in order to save big bux; (4) a blue collar skill for hard times — never saw a poor plumber; (5) one or more internet based businesses — your store is always open; (6) a free time hobby that generates income; and (7) a large will-maintained network of people who can “help” you.

Thursday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh weighed in on the possibility that the FBI had an “informant” working within the Trump campaign, alerting it to potential wrongdoing, and whose identity is now being protected from a congressional subpoena by the Department of – Limbaugh | Breitbart TV

Did the FBI plant an informant in the Trump campaign?
Sure sounds like they did. And, where is the justification for it?
Were they “playing politics”?
If so, then the Agency has to be closed down. Is the Praetorian Guard picking our next “Caesar”?

How the Manhattan Project’s Nuclear Suburb Stayed Secret
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, once home to 75,000, went up fast and under the radar. But it was built to last, too.
BY JESSICA LEIGH HESTER MAY 03, 2018

At least for some. While white employees lived in relatively cushy digs, their black counterparts were more likely to be placed in structures known as “hutments,” little more than plywood frames without indoor plumbing. “Segregation was actually designed in from the start,” Moeller says.
*** end quote ***
How evil are the politicians and bureaucrats that did this?
I find that it was (a) designed in from the start; and (b) that people accepted it as fait accompli.
Of course, it wouldn’t happen today, but what evil was in these men’s hearts from the get go.
Sigh. So sad.
Is everything that Gooferment does inherently “evil” and “flawed”?
Seems so.

These days, looking for “free” software is an utter nightmare. As most of you know from experience, most “free” software nowadays is basically non-functional trial software whose main job is to trick you and then make you buy the full version after you install a bunch of adware.Imagine my surprise at finding an amazing piece of real freeware: Unstoppable Copier.

California expected to mandate solar panels for new homes
By Amy Lieu | Fox News
*** begin quote ***
The California Energy Commission will vote on the new solar energy standard Wednesday, Southern California News Group reported.
“California is about to take a quantum leap in energy standards,” Bob Raymer, technical director for the California Building Industry Association, told the newspaper. “No other state in the nation mandates solar, and we are about to take that leap.”
The proposed solar standards would add about $25,000 to $30,000 to the cost of home construction, said C.R. Herro, Meritage Homes’ vice president of environmental affairs, according to the report.
But the cost should result in a savings of $50,000 to $60,000 over 25 years, he said.
*** end quote ***
So it sounds like, from the individual buyers pov, it’s a wash. What’s the time value of money? And, how much do they “save” by buying versus renting?
The Gooferment puts the house out of reach price wise.
You can think about it like you have to buy the house with the extra option. Even if you don’t “need” it to get in the door or can afford it.
The ego of the politicians and bureaucrats is amazing and will keep people “poor” and renting.
Argh!
