The Treasury took in $70.4 billion from the rescue of companies including General Motors Co., Chrysler Group and Detroit-based auto lender Ally after spending $79.7 billion of taxpayer funds, according to department data released Monday.

Maryland Public School Takes 11-Yr-Olds to Hear Louis Farrakhan Call Whites ‘Crackers,’ and Say He Will ‘Tear This GD Country Up!

Maryland Public School Takes 11-Yr-Olds to Hear Louis Farrakhan Call Whites ‘Crackers,’ and Say He Will ‘Tear This GD Country Up! | John Hawkins' Right Wing News
A public school in Maryland thought it was a good idea to expose 11-year-old kids to the hate, anti-semitism, anti-Americanism, and violence of Louis Farrakhan by taking them to see him give one of his hatemongering speeches.
In the speech Farrakhan called all whites “crackers” and promised that he and his “Muslim” acolytes would “tear this goddamn country up” in race riots.

According to EAG News, Farrakhan’s Nov. 22 speech was the keynote of an event at historically black Morgan State University that focused on fostering grievances with the theme “Re-Claim, Re-Pair, Re-Form, Re-Produce, – REPARATIONS NOW!”

Coming after months of national protests over the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Farrakhan’s words were – as always – calculated to inflame audience, including about 40 students from Baltimore’s Booker T. Washington Middle School.

A school administrator told EAG News the program was aimed at reaching young people to “help develop them to become our future.”

Michigan's new laws for 2015: Traffic fees, motorcycle permits, physical therapy prescription | Crain's Detroit Business:
Meth crackdown

Buying cough and cold medicines for the purpose of making methamphetamine will be illegal under another series of measures intended to crack down on meth makers. The laws also prohibit asking someone to buy the ingredients and require state police to add meth offenders to a national database. The goal is to generate stop-sale alerts so pharmacies don't sell to people convicted of meth crimes. Pharmacists currently are warned when customers try to surpass quantity limits. A House Fiscal Agency analysis says the production of meth — a highly addictive drug whose production can result in explosions and environmental contamination — remains on the rise, especially in western Michigan.

Drugged driving

Police will be able to conduct a preliminary roadside analysis for drugs and other intoxicating substances in addition to alcohol. A conditional bond is to be placed on motorists arrested for drugged driving and the information is to be entered into a law enforcement database.

Obama and Pope Francis Teaming Up to Push Liberal Agendas in 2015

Obama and Pope Francis Teaming Up to Push Liberal Agendas in 2015:
"The Pontiff has also spoken-out against trickle-down economics, the economic policy that serves as a generator of economic growth and is aimed more at providing opportunities for the poor rather than mere handouts and government dependency.
As Pope Francis crusades for liberal political issues, it seems clear that Obama, who has served as arguably the most-hostile president to religion in history, has found a true ally and a way to help mend fences with Catholics who have taken issue with his extreme secular agenda.

Trevor Loudon Warns US: Amnesty Will Be Used to Create One Party State

Trevor Loudon Warns US: Amnesty Will Be Used to Create One Party State:

"In his latest report, Trevor Loudon explains how executive amnesty is part and parcel of the fundamental transformation of our nation. And quite possibly the last nail in the coffin.

Hear from Trevor himself,
In all the debate about President Barack Obama‘s “Executive Amnesty” for illegal aliens, few have discussed the real reason for Obama’s move.
The president has risked huge “political capital” on a very risky and possibly illegal move, that he believes will define his Presidency and secure his legacy with his “Progressive” base. Obama is simply after the votes."

Offshore wind farms drawing electricity from grid to keep turning in icy conditions

Offshore wind farms drawing electricity from grid to keep turning in icy conditions - Telegraph:
"Offshore wind farms are drawing power from the National Grid to keep turning and prevent them icing up in subzero temperatures, it has emerged.
The turbines need to idle slowly when temperatures plunge in calm conditions to stop ice forming and to power hydraulic systems that turn the blades into the wind.
Critics of wind farms, which cost three times as much as conventional power stations per unit of energy produced, said it was “another example of why wind farms are difficult and expensive to manage”, but industry bodies pointed out that all power stations use electricity as well as generating it...."
