Noncitizens do vote in U.S. elections -- here's how they do it - Washington Times

Illegal noncitizen voters were three times more likely to be Dems than GOP -  Stephen Dinan 

"Eloy Alberto Zayas-Berrier was part of the Mariel boatlift that brought 125,000 Cubans, including criminals and mental hospital patients, to the U.S. in 1980.
He has been in a bizarre legal limbo ever since. 

He can’t qualify for U.S. citizenship, and Cuba has refused to take him back, so he is stuck on “parole.” He remains in the U.S. with only the barest legal protections and cannot obtain a green card. 

He is decidedly not a citizen.

• That did not stop him from showing up at an early-voting location in North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2016.

Outrage erupts when authorities toss 2 farmers in prison on 30-day sentences | WND | by Bob Unruh: 

The fight apparently stems from allegations the two were practicing veterinary medicine without a license for running ultrasound test on cattle, a procedure that is common for farmers to use for various reasons. The result was an investigation by the state of Pennsylvania, where officials demanded that the two turn over their records. They failed to do what state officials demanded, and the report notes that resulted in contempt orders against the men.

“People who come into the country with their own culture are not assimilated into our culture because our culture is being attacked from our educational institutions — that is public schools, colleges, and universities — through our media and our entertainment,” Levin says.

These loons want communism AND humans gone!-----Why climate change action requires "degrowth" to make our planet sustainable | Salon.com

Salon spoke with Japanese philosophy professor Kohei Saito about his new book, "Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto"

• Climate change truly is a major existential threat, one we're clearly not addressing fast enough. 
• But as individuals, there's little we can do to stop it on a grand scale — it will require global cooperation to overcome. 
• Nonetheless, the accompanying feelings of helplessness when faced with such a daunting crisis can make many feel paralyzed with despair. 

So what can be done?
"Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto," a new book from University of Tokyo philosophy professor Kohei Saito..."My idea is really not state socialism, but associated model production."
Saito's argument, as translated by Brian Bergstrom, is that climate change exists because humans as a species prioritize economic growth instead of economic sustainability. 

Capitalism itself, Saito asserts, is unsustainable...
