Refugees will freeze to death, warn EU heads - Telegraph
"Leaders warn the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the migrant crisis
Migrants crossing the Balkans will begin freezing to death as winter approaches, the head of European Union has said, as leaders warned the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the biggest humanitarian crisis since the Second World War.
As leaders of eastern European countries turned on each other at a foul-tempered emergency summit in Brussels, they said the Schengen visa-free zone and even the European Union itself could be pulled apart as states threw up borders to halt the influx.
'Every day counts, otherwise we will soon see families in cold rivers in the Balkans perish miserably'
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said a solution was urgently needed or thousands of refugee families facing winter temperature on the hillsides and freezing river-banks of Eastern Europe, would die..."

Transgender Student Loses Job for Identifying as Male

Transgender Student Loses Job for Identifying as Male
Now this isn’t necessarily new, but in recent months, this has become the great question of our time. If a female transgender chooses to identify as a white male, do colleges celebrate her/his diversity in living her/his truth, or shun him/her because… now he’s just a privileged, white male?
Neverland makes more sense…
Wesley College gives us our answer!
Timothy Boatwright was born a girl, and checked off the “female” box when applying to the Massachusetts all-women’s school, according to an article in the New York Times.
But when he got there, he introduced himself as a “masculine-of-center genderqueer” person named “Timothy” (the name he picked for himself) and asked them to use male pronouns when referring to him.
And, by all accounts, Boatwright felt welcome on campus — until the day he announced that he wanted to run for the school’s office of multicultural affairs coordinator, whose job is to promote a “culture of diversity” on campus.
But some students thought that allowing Boatwright to have the position would just perpetuate patriarchy. 
They were so opposed, in fact, that when the other three candidates (all women of color) dropped out, they started an anonymous Facebook campaign encouraging people not to vote at all to keep him from winning the position.
Tranny?
But you’re too white!....

URGENT: German Police Official Drops Bombshell About Muslim "Refugees"... America Must Wake Up:

Big Spenders Relax: Projected Revenue Growth Easily Covers Road Fix Earmarks

Big Spenders Relax: Projected Revenue Growth Easily Covers Road Fix Earmarks [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"A transportation funding package passed by the state House this week would annually earmark $600 million of state income tax revenue to road repairs starting in 2020.
This comes from a tax projected to bring in nearly $9 billion this year and trending higher.
Yet State Rep. Jim Townsend, D-Royal Oak, called the plan a “fiscal time bomb.”
ForTheRecord says:
Bottom line – revenues from Michigan's major taxes are expected to increase more than $920 million next year alone. 
That figure is likely to be even higher by the time the proposed earmarks gradually begin in 2018.
Increased state income tax collections contribute $305 million to next year's projected $920 million state revenue increase.
In the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 2016, the income tax is projected to bring in $9.2 billion to the state.
And that’s just one tax.
Overall, the 19 major taxes that make up most of the state’s non-federal revenue are projected to increase by $921 million next year alone, from $23.2 billion to $24.1 billion."

Marijuana Entrepreneur Needs Salespeople, 'Who Have Smoked Weed And Can Talk About Our Products'

Marijuana Entrepreneur Needs Salespeople, 'Who Have Smoked Weed And Can Talk About Our Products' - Forbes:
"Starting with an outdoor marijuana grow then a retail store, Gonzalez expanded to cannabis oil production to infuse products like truffles and brittle candies, as well as cannabis oil for vape pens. However, there are major challenges to the expansion, especially when it comes to banking.
“No matter how good my numbers are, I can’t get a loan,” she said due to banking restrictions on the industry.
“If we need another delivery truck or oil production machine, we have to pay for it directly.”
That means all profits are invested right back into the business.
Advertising restrictions are another barrier to business growth.
Unable to advertise in traditional ways, Gonzales has hired three “brand ambassadors,” who hold events at dispensaries in California where customers can sample products and enter drawings for vape pen giveaways.
More recently they have launched GFarma.TV and GFarma.NEWS, short videos they post on YouTube and other sites to develop their brands.
Gonzalez says she looks beyond the typical résumé when hiring her brand ambassadors and salespeople.
“Yale and Harvard aren’t going to teach you the marijuana culture,” she said, “I need salespeople who have smoked weed and can talk about our products.”
