LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
http://www.libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2015/08/august-5-2015-american-glory-days-by.html
The American spirit, as well as American ingenuity, is on
full display as you walk through the store.
It ranges from the simplicity of the Mason jar to the many items
representing American fortitude, which made our country so great. Strength, hard work and determination resulted
in many American success stories. Iconic
symbols and logos are timeless and have become part of the American landscape. They
serve as proof that individuals built this country, not the government.

American Glory Days
By Tammy Derouin
On a recent shopping trip, I stopped at Hobby Lobby. They have many items which make me feel like
I’m walking through a museum. It’s a nostalgic
experience to stroll up and down the aisles.
There are many images of American heritage and pop culture.
Many are able recall those American glory days. We remember what it was like to be a can-do
nation, prior to the transformation. A feeling of pride turned to sadness as I
wondered if we would be able to remain free.
Would such iconic symbols of capitalism and the free-market place
someday land in a museum? Would such
symbols need to be housed in an underground museum? The new reality is that the government built
everything. Will evidence to the contrary
need to be destroyed?
One of the many iconic items I saw on display was The Super
Friends. I remember watching them every
Saturday morning as a child. Once upon a
time they defended truth, justice and the American way. Far too many of our
elected officials vilify truth, mock justice and are destroying the American
way of life...

So, race is the answer for everything?
What was the question... How do I blame others for my situation?
Study Ties Picky Eating In Preschoolers To Anxiety, Depression, ADHD And Family Problems
"Countless parents have faced the implacable resistance of the picky eater.
You struggle to assure that your kid’s basic nutritional needs are met, while every day confronting an impenetrable wall of disgust.
What do you do?
Most picky eaters eventually expand their tastes.
But at its worst, picky eating (or selective eating, as psychologists prefer to call it) can be a threat to health and development.
And now, a new study shows, it is linked to significant psychological problems including anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder."

Watch the Bizarre Question CNN Host Asks Man Behind Planned Parenthood Videos: ‘I Don’t Think That’s True at All’ | Video | TheBlaze.com:
"Appearing on CNN, the man behind the undercover Planned Parenthood videos was asked if he is a “violent extremist.”
“David, your critics, critics of your organization I should say, say that you’re not journalists as you purport to be on your website, but rather you’re violent extremists,” host Alisyn Camerota told David Daleiden. “They say that you are operating under the guise of investigative reporting, but really you’re trying to shut down all Planned Parenthoods and women’s access to things like birth control and other services that they provide.”
So when it comes to the progressive left, the definition of a "violent extremist" changes to meet the needs of their agenda.

Drones Are Delivering Contraband To Prisons
Drones Are Delivering Contraband To Prisons | Fast Company | Business + Innovation: "SMUGGLERS ARE AIRLIFTING DRUGS INTO PRISON YARDS USING DRONES.
ONE SUCH INCIDENT CAUSED A FIGHT TO BREAK OUT IN AN OHIO PRISON LAST WEEK.
A drone transported nearly half a pound of drugs into an Ohio prison on July 29, sparking a fight among inmates.
Unknown parties coordinated the drop and flew the drone into a prison yard at the Mansfield Correctional Institute.
JoEllen Smith, a spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, told the Mansfield News Journal that the drone dropped a package containing more than 5 ounces of tobacco, over 2 ounces of marijuana, and nearly a quarter of an ounce of heroin.
The contraband seemingly instigated a fight between inmates who were out in the prison yard at the time.
...In 2014, the Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina reported that a drone carrying marijuana, tobacco, and mobile phones crashed just outside its walls; in the past two years, there have been three other drone-smuggling incidents across the U.S., and more abroad."

The result of Obama's "free" college loans-------7th Circuit: Florida Coastal Law Grad Cannot Discharge $260,000 Student Loan Debt In Bankruptcy
TaxProf Blog: 7th Circuit: Florida Coastal Law Grad Cannot Discharge $260,000 Student Loan Debt In Bankruptcy:
"The Seventh Circuit has affirmed decisions of a federal bankruptcy court and district court preventing a Marquette (MBA) and Florida Coastal (J.D.) graduate from discharging $260,000 in student loan debt in bankruptcy. Tetzlaff v. Educational Credit Management Corp., No. 14-3702 (7th Cir. July 22, 2015):
Mark Tetzlaff is fifty-six years old and lives in Waukesha, Wisconsin with his eighty-five-year-old mother; they both subsist on the income from her Social Security payments.
Tetzlaff is divorced, has no children, and is currently unemployed.
From the mid-1990s until 2005, Tetzlaff pursued a Masters in Business Administration from Marquette University, as well as a law degree from Florida Coastal School of Law (“Florida Coastal”).1
Most relevant to this appeal, Tetz-laff took out various federally guaranteed student loans to finance his graduate education.2
In 2004, Tetzlaff consolidated his student loan debt, and Educational Credit Manage-ment Corporation (“Educational Credit”) is now the guaran-tor for the outstanding loan amount.
Tetzlaff has been unsuccessful at passing a state bar exam to date (although he has made two attempts).
Prior to at-tending graduate school, Tetzlaff worked as a financial advisor, an employee-benefits consultant, an insurance salesman, and a stock broker.
Over the years, Tetzlaff has struggled with depression and alcohol abuse; he has also been involved in domestic disputes.
Tetzlaff has several misdemeanor convictions, including convictions for disorderly conduct and intimidating a victim.
He claims that all of these factors combined make it very difficult for him to secure employment"

Sooo, pot is good for your kids?-----Marijuana And Depression: Teen Use Not Linked To Depression, Study Suggests
Marijuana And Depression: Teen Use Not Linked To Depression, Study Suggests : Health & Medicine : Science World Report:
"New findings published in the journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors found that contradictory to previous studies, teen marijuana use is not linked to physical or mental health issues.
"What we found was a little surprising," Jordan Bechtold, researcher and a psychology research fellow at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said in a statement.
"There were no differences in any of the mental or physical health outcomes that we measured regardless of the amount or frequency of marijuana used during adolescence."
The most recent study was based on an offshoot of the Pittsburgh Youth Study that tracked 14-year-old male Pittsburgh public school students in the late 1980s, analyzing various health and social issues.
Over 12 years, all participants were surveyed annually or semiannually.
A follow-up survey was also conducted with 408 participants in 2009-10 when they were around the age of 36.
...Findings revealed that chronic marijuana use by boys was not linked to health issues like asthma, depression and psychotic symptoms later in life.
Furthermore, the study results also revealed no link between teen marijuana use and lifetime anxiety, depression, allergies, high blood pressure and/or headaches.
However, it's important to note that research from the American Lung Association has suggested that smoking marijuana can increase the risk of respiraratory issues, which may also lead to other health problems.

Fifth Undercover Planned Parenthood Video Released: ‘This Patient Was Like 18 Weeks’ (Warning: GRAPHIC) | Video | TheBlaze.com:
“This patient was at, like, 18 weeks, I think,” one medical staffer says, while sifting through fetal remains.
The clip also features the faux tissue buyers presumably asking if abortion procedures can be changed and adjusted to account for specific organ and tissue needs, including fully intact fetuses — to which Farrell seemingly responds affirmatively.
“So, if we alter our process and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, then we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this,” she said. “I mean that’s — it’s all just a matter of line items.”

Banned Medicaid providers still participate in some states, report says
Banned Medicaid providers still participate in some states, report says:
"Hundreds of medical providers banned from a Medicaid program in one state are able to take part in another state's program despite regulations designed to stop them, according to a report by an independent federal auditor to be released on Wednesday.
The continued participation of banned providers leaves state Medicaid programs for the poor and disabled vulnerable to fraud, waste and abuse, according to the study, which says the problem reflects a struggle by states to communicate with one another.
...“If a provider has been terminated by a state, that is a red flag, because it would indicate there was a problem either in billing or the way they handle patients," said Deborah Cosimo, team leader for the report. "
Do states really want to trust beneficiary care to someone who has problems like that?”

Paul Albaugh: Obama's Clean Power Plan Is Costly Political Theater
Paul Albaugh: Obama's Clean Power Plan Is Costly Political Theater — The Patriot Post:
"On Monday, Barack Obama announced new rules for his long-dreaded Clean Power Plan.
This past spring, we warned that Obama’s agenda to combat global warming would be finalized during the hottest days of summer.
As with almost every other agenda under Obama, it’s even worse than expected — and all to prevent warming of 0.01 degrees Celsius.
Winston Churchill once said, “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
And make no mistake: Obama’s plan has little or nothing to do with climate and everything to do with his social justice worldview, in which he wants to handicap the U.S. ostensibly to the benefit of the rest of the world.
...As for the details, according to The Wall Street Journal, the new rule “would require a 32% cut in power-plant carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels, an increase from the 30% target proposed last year.”
According to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, the estimated annual cost by 2030 will be $8.4 billion.
But keep in mind that government estimates are always low.

"We hear people saying we'd love to live downtown but we don't want a fixer upper," said Frank Peterson, the city manager.
"Or the houses just aren't right."
Peterson said the project is part of the city's effort to move people back into the downtown corridor and re-establish a sense of community within its neighborhoods.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, population has decreased in the city of Muskegon for the past several years.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, population has decreased in the city of Muskegon for the past several years.
Between 2010 and 2013, 3.1 of Muskegon's inhabitants moved away.
"Again we do think a lot of that has to do with the inability to attract new homeowners into our community," Peterson said.

"We just don't have a product to offer them."
In addition to Muskegon's investment, the city has received a $250,000 grant from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to combat blight.
The market-rate homes are expected to be ready for sale as early as next spring.
