Insane Helicopter Landing On Ship During RAGING Sea - World War Wings:
"Your Palms Might Sweat During This Helicopter Landing
Wow this is an insane landing.
It’s hard enough to pilot a helicopter, now imagine landing it on a moving deck.
Scratch that.
Imagine landing on a moving, rocking ship under crazy weather conditions.
I mean, all you got to do is take a look at the size of those waves!
There is some absolutely awesome piloting skills going on here and also teamwork from the crew. This is a Lynx Helicopter being tested to its limits.
Doing a little more research we found this to actually be an amazing helicopter that could do loops. One of the top of the line helicopters in the world.
You should check it out."

"After a one hour meeting with Bernie Sanders today, President Obama officially endorsed Hillary Clinton via the release of a well produced video.

Flying Dog’s court victory to pay dividends for free speech
Flying Dog’s court victory to pay dividends for free speech:
"Flying Dog Brewery will use some of the legal damages from its free speech victory over the state of Michigan to fund scholarships for journalism students in celebration of its Gonzo-style take on the microbrew scene.
Flying Dog first came on the scene in 1990, but drew national criticism in 2009 after its Belgian IPA was pushed out of the market by Michigan’s Liquor Control Commission (LCC) over objections to its off-color brand name: Raging Bitch.
In fact, the LCC ultimately banned the sale of Raging Bitch in Michigan when local leaders deemed the controversial brew “detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare” of Michiganders.
...Michigan, however, found the contents of Raging Bitch to be so offensive that it was deemed a violation of Michigan Administrative Code Rule 436, which authorized the rejection of any beer label that promoted “violence, racism, sexism, intemperance, or intoxication,” a court summary of the case states.
Accordingly, Flying Dog sued the LCC on the grounds that it violated the company’s First Amendment rights and unlawfully limited an open and free market society.
After six years, the two parties have just now reached a settlement, favoring Flying Dog’s appeal and resulting in $40,000 in damages..."

This is the journal that published a finding much beloved of liberals a few years back that purported to find scientific evidence that conservatives are more likely to exhibit traits associated with psychoticism, such as authoritarianism and tough-mindedness, and that the supposed “authoritarian” personality of conservatives might even have a genetic basis (and therefore be treatable someday?).

Pension Funding: Why Your Town is Going Broke
Pension Funding: Why Your Town is Going Broke [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Just 13 percent of the local governments whose retirement systems are administered by a statewide entity have set aside enough money to pay the pensions promised to their workers.
The Municipal Employees’ Retirement System (MERS) administers pension systems for 728 local cities, villages, townships, agencies and more.
But only 97 of those systems have adequately funded their pension obligations, according to the operation’s most recent report that covers up to Dec. 31, 2014.
Local government employees covered by MERS are owed some $12 billion worth of retirement benefits — but their employers have not set aside enough to cover the full amount.
Taxpayers in those communities on the hook for $3.5 billion worth of unfunded liabilities.
..."Pensions are going to be a huge issue nationally," he said.
"Unfunded pension liabilities are estimated to be as high as $4 trillion.
In 2015, the Treasury Department collected $1.5 trillion in income taxes.
Thus, to close the pension funding gap, you would have to divert all income taxes toward pensions for nearly three years straight.
I don't know how we'll solve this problem.""

Commissioner says fraud from Obamaphone program approaching $500 million
Commissioner says fraud from Obamaphone program approaching $500 million | Washington Examiner:
"The federal subsidy known as the "Obamaphone" or "Obamanet" program could be losing nearly $500 million to fraud annually, according to a top Republican on the Federal Communications Commission.
Commissioner Ajit Pai made the accusation Wednesday in letter to the Universal Service Administrative Company, referring to the FCC's Universal Service Fund, which provides a monthly $9.95 subsidy for telecom service to low-income consumers.
The subsidy is limited to one per "independent economic household," or IEH, but telecom companies have the ability to override that restriction if applicants check a box stating they represent a separate household, even if they have the same address.
Pai wrote that data obtained by the FCC last month revealed carriers had enrolled nearly 4.3 million subscribers using the IEH override process between October 2014-April 2016, or 35.5 percent of total subscribers for the period.
"It is alarming that over one-third of subscribers — costing taxpayers almost half a billion dollars a year — were registered through an IEH override..."

A Bearish George Soros Is Trading Again
"After a long hiatus, George Soros has returned to trading, lured by opportunities to profit from what he sees as coming economic troubles.
Worried about the outlook for the global economy and concerned that large market shifts may be at hand, the billionaire hedge-fund founder and philanthropist recently directed a series of big, bearish investments, according to people close to the matter.
Soros Fund Management LLC, which manages $30 billion for Mr. Soros and his family, sold stocks and bought gold and shares of gold miners, anticipating weakness in various markets.

The Incompetent, Pathetically Slow Government Has Placed Itself Between You and the Economy
The Incompetent, Pathetically Slow Government Has Placed Itself Between You and the Economy | Somewhat Reasonable:
"Behold “Mother May I?” government.
Where the private sector can’t do a thing, make a move, invent or innovate – until after the incompetent, pathetically slow government finally gets around to granting permission to do so.
If we’re lucky – more likely than not, they’ll say Nay.
This is why our economic growth has remained stifled and stunted.
President Barack Obama will be the first chief executive in our nation’s history to never, ever have a year of even 3.0% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth.
(By contrast, Ronald Reagan – who inherited a far worse economy than did Obama – AVERAGED 3.5% GDP growth.)
The terrible laws passed by President Obama and his Democrat-majority Congress are bad enough. Obamacare has basically outlawed full-time employment.
Dodd-Frank didn’t shrink too-big-too-fail banks – it suffocated and shut down thousands of the small banks we all say we want.
Leaving us with just the banking monsters with which to deal.
Which is a lesson of too much government – the monster companies are the only ones who can afford it.
It’s the little guys who get crushed under the Leviathan’s weight..."

Stop calling it free trade
Stop calling it free trade - NetRight Daily:
"The problem with the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement isn’t that it is free trade, it is that it is not.
You cannot have free trade when even after a trade agreement goes into effect and tariffs are supposedly reduced many of our trading partners continue to levy what is in effect a currency tariff on U.S. goods while offering their goods to us at a discount.
So let’s stop calling it free trade.
In truth, ignoring currency manipulation, subsidies and other de facto tariffs leaves the U.S. economy at a competitive disadvantage — and has done so for years.
In addition, the U.S. does not compete globally on cost in taxes, wages and regulations, making the U.S. one of the worst locations to produce goods and one of the best for foreign countries to have a trade agreement with.
If passed, the Trans-Pacific Partnership will continue to outsource production and jobs overseas, costing the U.S. economic growth, and harming the American people with flattening incomes, negligible job creation and weakening labor participation..."

Boston Globe Investigation: 30% of Released Criminal Aliens Commit New Crimes
Boston Globe Investigation: 30% of Released Criminal Aliens Commit New Crimes | NumbersUSA: "The Boston Globe conducted an investigation review of 323 criminal aliens released in New England from 2008 to 2012 and found that 30% of these criminal aliens went on to commit more crimes, including rape, robbery, and murder, after being released.
This is a much higher rate than ICE and the Obama administration have reported.
President Obama has claimed that deporting criminal aliens is a “priority” under his Priority Enforcement Program (PEP), but under this new policy 60% of all criminal aliens were released in 2015 alone according to ICE.
PEP prohibits ICE agents from targeting most illegal aliens for removal, unless they commit a “serious” crime or are considered a national security threat.
In February a letter from ICE to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), showed that 130 murders or attempted murders have been committed by released criminal aliens since 2010.
ICE does not collect recidivism data on the criminal aliens they release so the Boston Globe conducted its own investigation..."

Appears Judge Gonzalo Curiel May Be the Racist…not Trump
Appears Judge Gonzalo Curiel May Be the Racist…not Trump | Canada Free Press:
"Before getting into the racially-challenged Judge Curiel, here is a brief history of La Raza for those who are, yet, unfamiliar with the organization.
I started writing about La Raza (and MEChA) in 2006.
Both of these are virulent racist anti-white organizations that want to have US land ceded to Mexico, will affect riots and all manner of violence to do so and have gotten a pass from the current administration...
The Southwest Council of La Raza (SWCLR) was founded in 1968 and with funding from—amongst others—the leftist Ford Foundation, it quickly became the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
La Raza means “The Race” and it began as a Mexican-specific organization.
The group’s motto is “Everything for The Race. Outside The Race…Nothing!”
La Raza is a hard-line Marxist organization and it openly expresses hatred for white people.
Even Marxist Cesar Chavez talked against the group when he commented “I hear more and more Mexicans talking about la raza—to build up their pride.
Some people don’t look at it as racism, but when you say ‘La Raza,’ you are saying an anti-gringo thing, and it won’t stop there.
Today it’s anti-gringo, tomorrow it will be anti-Negro..."
Judge Curiel is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association.
Most of these attorney groups claim they have “no affiliation with NCLR”.
However, they seem to follow the same tenets as the national group, including but, not limited to support for illegal immigrants (specifically Mexican, Latino, Hispanic) entering the USA.
Continuing to flout US law, Judge Curiel, also, gave US school scholarships to Mexican illegal aliens.
An Obama-appointed judge who won’t obey laws he doesn’t like.
Hmmm.
Sound familiar?..."
