Canada denies home healthcare to ALS patient, pays for assisted suicide instead - The Christian Post
See the source image"The family of a Canadian man says the government-run healthcare system failed their son who felt his only option was to die by physician-assisted suicide after his requests for home healthcare were denied. 
Forty-one-year-old Sean Tagert died on Aug. 6 after Vancouver Coastal Health, a publicly-funded healthcare provider in British Columbia, refused to cover the 24-hour in-home healthcare his doctor said he needed, the CBC reported earlier this month. 
...Tagert, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2013 at age 36, had already wiped out his savings to pay for modifications to his home to accommodate a power wheelchair and a mechanical sling to help him get in and out of the shower..."

Must read!!----The real reason for the Iran hostage crisis, 40 years later

Image result for ran hostage crisisThe real reason for the Iran hostage crisis, 40 years later
"On Nov. 4, 1979, radical Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, ultimately holding 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days.
I covered the incident in detail in Dancing with the Devil, a history of U.S. diplomacy with rogue regimes, utilizing not only American sources but Iranian ones as well.
Bottom line, the reason why the hostage crisis occurred, and why it lasted so long was a tragedy of errors.
Too often, the Islamic Revolution and the embassy seizure are conflated in the American mind, but the reality is they occurred more than nine months apart.
It is essential to understand why Iranian radicals attacked the embassy in November 1979 rather than the previous February when revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned and ended the shah's rule.
The immediate spark presaging the revolution was an ill-timed handshake...
...What transformed the crisis into something that paralyzed America for more than a year and ultimately brought down the Carter presidency was Carter’s knee-jerk reluctance to utilize military force coupled with his National Security Council Iran aide’s loose lips."

The Deadliest Lynching in US History Was NOT Against Blacks, it Was Against Italian-Americans - The Red Elephants

Image result for deadliest lynching in American history Italian Americans,The Deadliest Lynching in US History Was NOT Against Blacks, it Was Against Italian-Americans - The Red Elephants
"While the media freaks out about Trump using the word ‘lynching,’ calling him insensitive to the struggle of blacks in America, I’d like to remind you that history matters.
Anyone who isn’t sub 90 IQ knows that the deadliest lynching in American history was against Italian Americans, and there is historical consensus about this...
What Happened?
Commissioner David Hennessy – a police chief in New Orleans – was ambushed and killed by four men near his home in October 1890.
It is thought that with his dying words, he blamed the attack on Italian immigrants.
A large Italian community had moved to the city after the civil war and the abolition of slavery, to take up jobs that had formerly been done by slaves.
Following Hennessy’s death, officials rounded up Italian immigrants – according to some reports, they apprehended thousands..."

"Saw today where 11,000 scientists say we have to reduce world population to survive.
If we do nothing, they say people will die.
They say we need to give up the power of fossil fuels or we're going to die.
But they also say if we do nothing, we're going to die.
They say we must spend billions to stave off most of the global climate catastrophe.
But they also say we must spend billions to survive if we do nothing.
If you look at the costs of the Green New Deal and the life and economic changes it demands, in terms of economic and human costs, its about 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
If the costs are roughly the same to either deal or not to deal with a proposed "existential crisis" that is unfalsifiable, it seems reasonable to wait it out until we know for sure."

"Welcoming Schools"-Yes, they are coming for YOUR children!-----Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today---Michael Smith
"We have a hotly contested issue here in my little town.
It's the "Welcoming Schools" program that is being implemented at one of the elementary schools in the system.
This is a program that is being sold to the public as simply an "anti-bullying" program but from their own website, there is this:
"HRC Foundation's Welcoming Schools is the nation's premier professional development program providing training and resources to elementary school educators to embrace family diversity, create LGBTQ and gender inclusive schools, prevent bias-based bullying, and support transgender and non-binary students."
Notice the use of the terms "embrace", "create", and "support".
Of the four objectives of the program, only one has anything to do with the prevention of bullying - and it is pretty clear what kind of bullying the prevention is directed toward.
The website is filled with LGBTQ propaganda tools to be used in elementary schools..."

A New York high school football coach has been suspended because his team beat an undefeated opponent by too many points, violating a sportsmanship rule, according to the New York Post.
Rob Shaver, head coach of Long Island's Plainedge High School football team, transgressed Nassau County's "lopsided scores policy" by beating previously undefeated South Side High School 61-13. Teams are only allowed to win by 42 points.

While the unemployment rate rose a tick to 3.6 percent, the unemployment rate for African Americans nudged down to a record low 5.4 percent. 
Also, the total employment level jumped to 158.5 million, also a new high. 
So the network "newscasts" ...skipped it entirely. 
ABC, CBS, and NBC offered nothing.

Glenn K. Beaton: My advice to Aspen’s butthurt class warriors | AspenTimes.com
"Until Aspen’s mob shouted it down it, valet parking service was planned this winter at the base of the Aspen Mountain gondola. 
No longer.
Local politicos saw an opportunity to bash business, which they always find profitable, and to accumulate some political capital — which is apparently the only kind of capital that is permissible to accumulate these days.
See the source imageTake our mayor, a former tennis instructor.
He whined: “I question the equitability and ethic of” the valet parking service.
Others politicians jumped in.
With an analysis equaling her syntax, one councilwoman complained, “It had a huge insulting factor to locals. It was like separating the rich from the poor, and here you are going skiing and those rich people have something they can afford that you can’t.”
...Back to the valet service.
What if those rich folks get dropped off by a friend or pay a taxi or a butthurt whiner (Can they sit long enough to drive?) to drop them off, rather than using the valet service?
Does that transform the drop-off into something equitable and ethical?
By the way, is it inequitable and unethical when the rich folks get to the top of the gondola and buy lunch at the swanky Mountain Club which employs many locals?
Or at the expensive restaurants in town? Or when they spend money at local ski shops on pricey jackets?
Or on $800/day local ski instructors?
Or on tennis lessons from the mayor? I can see the lesson.
“Keep your eye on the ball, you capitalist pig, and how about a bigger tip?”...
