Snapshots From The Past

By Tammy Derouin

There’s a saying, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.  Everyone knows this to be true because everyone experiences loss and the emotions which follow.  We take things for granted; everything from our surroundings, the people in our lives, to our freedoms. 

Our forefathers broke free from the chains of enslavement by establishing a Republic. They acknowledged our God given rights in a document of positive liberties, the U.S. Constitution.  We would be guided by the rule of law rather than the rule of man.

When events take place which cause you to lose your material possessions, you eventually recover. You miss what was lost and rely on your memory to give you solace.  Most possessions can be replaced.  They may be similar but they will never be the same.

When events take place causing a more permanent loss, such as a death, it's much harder and a deeper personal struggle.  Over time you come to terms with the loss.  Memories serve as snapshots from the past.  They remind you of what you had and give you comfort.  As you move on, others begin to fulfill the roles of those who were lost but it will never be the same.

When disaster strikes and you realize you missed several warning signs, you not only deal with loss but guilt and regret come into play... 









You Won’t Get Arrested for Public Boozing (or Urinating) in Manhattan Anymore

You Won’t Get Arrested for Public Boozing (or Urinating) in Manhattan Anymore | | Observer:
"Go ahead and pop the champagne: the NYPD will no longer arrest most people who are caught drinking alcohol in public in Manhattan, the city announced today—but they can still get a summons.
Unless it’s “necessary for public safety reasons,” the NYPD will no longer arrest people for certain low-level offenses in Manhattan, including public consumption of alcohol, public urination, littering and riding between subway cars or taking up more than one subway seat—and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. will no longer prosecute those infractions, his office said today.
Offenders can still receive summonses, which require them to pay a fine but don’t give them a criminal record, for those offenses.
Summonses are already an option for this offenses, and are often given to violators who do not have a warrant.
“Using summonses instead of arrests for low-level offenses is an intuitive and modern solution that will help make sure resources are focused on our main priority: addressing threats to public safety,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.
“Today’s reforms allow our hardworking police officers to concentrate their efforts on the narrow group of individuals driving violent crime in New York City.
This plan will also help safely prevent unnecessary jail time for low-level offenses....”"

How they "think"-----Hillary Clinton Is One of the Most Ethical (and Most Lied About) Political Leaders in America

Hillary Clinton Is One of the Most Ethical (and Most Lied About) Political Leaders in America - Blue Nation Review:
If the headline of this piece blows some minds, you can thank three decades of relentless lies and smears by the conservative attack machine and its mainstream media enablers, who have labored to create an aura of corruption around Hillary Clinton. Hillary’s detractors on the right, left and center reel off a laundry list of unsupported accusations with an air of absolute authority, as though it is simply a given that she is a terrible, horrible, no-good human being.
And that is precisely the intention: Taint her through innuendo and guilt-by-association, throw enough dirt at her that voters develop an instant negative association with her name.
Accuse, accuse, accuse until the accusation becomes the reality, and may the truth be damned.
Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, and billionaire conservative moneymen like Paul Singer have spent inordinate sums to paint a malignant picture of Hillary, using sophisticated propaganda techniques to render her toxic to the American electorate.
Sadly, many on the left imbibe and regurgitate these fabricated narratives, spewing falsehoods and filth at Hillary with gleeful abandon.
They are joined by mainstream media operatives with personal vendettas like Maureen Dowd and the Morning Joe crew, whose venomous words reveal more about their own failings than about Hillary.
But the fact is this: no one has ever produced an iota of evidence that Hillary has behaved improperly because of a campaign contribution.
No one has produced a scintilla of proof that there is a quid pro quo when it comes to her speaking fees.
From Whitewater to Benghazi to her emails, nobody can point to a single instance of corruption or purposeful wrongdoing on Hillary Clinton’s part.
None.
Zero.
Ever.
Read on and hope this sad soul gets professional help.

He Just Became The 1st Republican Senator To Declare He'll Never Vote For Trump...Here's Why

He Just Became The 1st Republican Senator To Declare He'll Never Vote For Trump...Here's Why:

"Days after Trump’s first legislative endorsements came in, U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse announced his endorsement of the anti-Trump movement. Via a series of social media posts, the consistently conservative Republican from Nebraska announced his decision to abstain from supporting either major-party candidate should it prove to be a Clinton-Trump general election."



The religion of peace-----Easy Meat: Inside the British Grooming Gang Scandal

Easy Meat: Inside the British Grooming Gang Scandal: Peter McLoughlin: 9781943003068: Amazon.com: Books:

Peter McLoughlin spent years believing the Leftist narrative, namely it was 'a racist myth' that organised Muslim groups in Britain and the Netherlands ( grooming gangs ) were luring white schoolgirls into a life of prostitution.
But in 2009 he first encountered people who said their children had been groomed like this. These informants had non-white people in their immediate and extended family, and were thus unlikely to be racists.
So McLoughlin dug deeper and what he found shocked him: there were mounds of evidence that social workers, police officers, Muslim organisations, journalists and even some Members of Parliament must have known about these grooming gangs for decades, and they had turned a blind-eye to these crimes.
He also came across references to incidents where any proof had since vanished. McLoughlin spent several years uncovering everything he could and documenting this scandal before the evidence disappeared.
He demonstrates that the true nature of this grooming phenomenon was known about more than 20 years ago.
While he was writing this book, Parliament was forced by rising anger in Britain to conduct its own low-key investigation.
The eventual report concluded the grooming problem was basically in one town: Rotherham.
Official reports finally admitted there were more than 1400 victims in this otherwise unremarkable town. 
McLoughlin argues the authorities will continue their cover-up of this scandal, with many thousands of new victims across the country every year.
The criminal indicators in Rotherham are to be found in scores of towns across Britain.
McLoughlin's book is an attempt to get the public to wake up, for them to demand civilised solutions, because if the social contract breaks down, people may turn to vigilante justice as the prostituting of schoolgirls continues unabated.
The book documents the hidden abuse of Sikh victims by grooming gangs, and how Sikhs in Britain have already resorted to vigilante justice.
The book exposes how political correctness was used to silence potential whistle-blowers, and how this grooming phenomenon demonstrates that multiculturalism does not work.
Every layer of authority in the British state comes under detailed examination to expose their part in the scandal.
McLoughlin leaves no stone unturned, and at 130,000 words in length, it is likely to be the most detailed critique of this scandal for years to come."

Marathon Pundit: Impoverished Illinois township wastes $100K on Nobel Peace Prize campaign for SC church

Marathon Pundit: Impoverished Illinois township wastes $100K on Nobel Peace Prize campaign for SC church:
Impoverished Illinois township wastes $100K on Nobel Peace Prize campaign for SC church
...From the Daily Southtown:
Thornton Township, in Illinois, spent more than $106,000 on an advertising push aimed at garnering support for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to a South Carolina church that was the site of a tragic 2015 mass shooting, newly released records show.
The township, which includes some of the poorest communities in Chicago's south suburbs, spent $106,257 on radio and newspaper ads around the Chicago market, mainly aimed at predominantly African-American audiences, records show.
Thornton Township's ad purchases followed a $46,000 taxpayer-funded trip to South Carolina taken by township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli and 14 other delegates in September, which the Daily Southtown detailed earlier this month.
In a previous interview, Zuccarelli said the four-day trip's "main purpose" was to "get knowledge from the people directly in Charleston as to why their reaction was so much different than the reactions in Ferguson and Baltimore," a reference to police-involved killings of young African-Americans in those cities that generated nationwide outrage and violent protests.
What does all of this have to do with Thornton Township?
Or Illinois?
And why is taxpayer money in broke-and-broken Illinois being pissed away?
Oh, Charleston, from what I hear, is an lovely city for a vacation.
Unlike Ferguson.
Zuccarelli is a Democrat. 
In 2012 Barack Obama won 87 percent of the vote.

Black College Students Who Cops Say Lied About Racist Attack and Were Actually the Aggressors Appear in Court. Here’s How They Plead. | Video | TheBlaze.com

Black College Students Who Cops Say Lied About Racist Attack and Were Actually the Aggressors Appear in Court. Here’s How They Plead. | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Three black students from State University of New York at Albany who police say lied about being targets of a racially motivated attack on city bus pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of assault and harassment. Two of the three women also pleaded not guilty to charges of falsely reporting the incident.

The charges against the women came weeks after a rally at the school supporting them; they had claimed they were attacked by a group of white men and women Jan. 30."

Sorority rush counts as hazing because it's stressful and makes girls cry, student argues

Sorority rush counts as hazing because it's stressful and makes girls cry, student argues - The College Fix:
ANALYSIS: Is sorority rush a safe space?
‘After six hours of judgment and insecurity … it’s hard and confusing to leave a house after having a great conversation with a girl and being led to believe that the girls in a particular house like you, and then finding out you were cut from that house’
The sorority rush process at Northwestern University, in which female students work to be accepted into their favorite sorority, is a physically and emotionally taxing process that ultimately violates the school’s strict anti-hazing policy.
So says Northwestern University freshman Cate Ettinger, who wrote an op-ed in the Daily Northwestern arguing that what she witnessed during her school’s recent recruitment period – “girls … sobbing in Norris University Center after not getting called back to their favorite houses, gossiping about the stereotypes of the chapters, turning on friends who they felt they must compete with, and judging and critiquing their fellow women” – ultimately amounted to hazing.
That’s because school policy defines hazing as “intentionally or unintentionally” producing “mental, physical, or emotional discomfort … for the purpose of initiation into … [an] organization,” she wrote.“The fact that hazing can be unintentional is crucial because the Northwestern Panhellenic Association, the sororities’ governing body, claims it doesn’t allow hazing, in accordance with University policy,” Ettinger wrote in her column.

“But this does not mean hazing doesn’t happen. It clearly does, as evidenced by the mental, physical and emotional discomfort I witnessed.”
“I saw women doubt themselves and be overcome with anxiety; I saw women standing in the snow in heels and dresses, bouncing to stay warm; and I saw the strongest women I know break down and drop out of the process.”
She added weather also played a role: “Standing among women shivering in required formal attire in the snow left no doubt in my mind that we were hazed.”...;

Free the Tampons

Free the Tampons - The New York Times:
Call it the period paradox.
Everyone knows most girls and women menstruate, but even in the age of oversharing, periods are treated like a dirty little secret.
Now a growing number of advocates, entrepreneurs and female lawmakers are challenging the taboo, talking about menstruation publicly (and, yes, in mixed company).
They want periods put squarely on the public agenda, and are demanding that businesses and government take menstruation into consideration when they design facilities, develop budgets, supply schools or create anti-poverty programs. 
And they want tampons in every public restroom.
And they want them to be free.
For those who are squeamish about all this, the message is:
Get used to it..."

Great question. Why was he the only one to ask?-----For first time in 10 years, Justice Clarence Thomas asks questions during an argument

For first time in 10 years, Justice Clarence Thomas asks questions during an argument - The Washington Post:
"When Thomas spoke, the questioning of Assistant Solicitor General Ilana H. Eisenstein was just winding down, and she was about to take her seat.
“Ms. Eisenstein, just one question,” Thomas said. “Can you give me — this is a misdemeanor violation. It suspends a constitutional right. Can you give me another area where a misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right?”
When Eisenstein stumbled in her response, Thomas again pointed out that the case involves a “misdemeanor violation of domestic conduct that results in a lifetime ban on possession of a gun, which, at least as of now, is still a constitutional right.”
Eisenstein responded that Congress justified the ban because of studies showing that people who previously battered their spouses “pose up to a sixfold greater risk of killing, by a gun, their family member.”"

THIS Is How Muslim Mother "Fixes" Rape Of 2-Year-Old Granddaughter By Grandfather ⋆ US Herald

THIS Is How Muslim Mother "Fixes" Rape Of 2-Year-Old Granddaughter By Grandfather ⋆ US Herald:

"Murdering rape victims is common in countries and communities that adhere to Sharia law where the crime is rarely reported for fear of exposing the family to shame.

“Honor killing” is no longer limited to predominantly Muslim countries or the Middle East. According to a study commissioned by the United States Department of Justice, honor killings are on the rise in America as Muslim families immigrate and bring the barbaric practice with them.

The practice is now an even more concerning problem in the United Kingdom where 11,000 reported cases in the past five years are said to be merely the tip of the iceberg."

The Global Run On Physical Cash Has Begun: Why It Pays To Panic First

The Global Run On Physical Cash Has Begun: Why It Pays To Panic First | Zero Hedge:
Back in August 2012, when negative interest rates were still merely viewed as sheer monetary lunacy instead of pervasive global monetary reality that has pushed over $6 trillion in global bonds into negative yield territory, the NY Fed mused hypothetically about negative rates and wrote "Be Careful What You Wish For" saying that "if rates go negative, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing will likely be called upon to print a lot more currency as individuals and small businesses substitute cash for at least some of their bank balances."
Well, maybe not... especially if physical currency is gradually phased out in favor of some digital currency "equivalent" as so many "erudite economists" and corporate media have suggested recently, for the simple reason that in a world of negative rates, physical currency - just like physical gold - provides a convenient loophole to the financial repression of keeping one's savings in digital form in a bank where said savings are taxed at -0.1%, or -1% or -10% or more per year by a central bank and government both hoping to force consumers to spend instead of save.
For now cash is still legal, and NIRP - while a reality for the banks - has yet to be fully passed on to depositors.
The bigger problem is that in all countries that have launched NIRP, instead of forcing spending precisely the opposite has happened: as we showed last October, when Bank of America looked at savings patterns in European nations with NIRP, instead of facilitating spending, what has happened is precisely the opposite: "as the BIS have highlighted, ultra-low rates may perversely be driving a greater propensity for consumers to save as retirement income becomes more uncertain."...

Black congresswoman says Supreme Court needs a ‘black’ voice, Justice Clarence Thomas doesn’t count

Black congresswoman says Supreme Court needs a ‘black’ voice, Justice Clarence Thomas doesn’t count – Joe Walsh:
People want to have a “an African-American voice” on the Supreme Court, Karen Bass, a black congresswoman from California, asserted — despite Justice Clarence Thomas’ position on the court.
“I think many people would like to see an African American on the Supreme Court,” Bass said during an interview on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show.
“We don’t really need to go into Clarence Thomas’ background or his behavior on the Court, but I think to have an African-American voice that has definitely not been there since Thurgood Marshall would really be an incredible contribution to our country.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
Bass went on to say Senate Republicans, who have said they won’t act on a nomination by President Obama in this election year, should do their job.
Sharpton was embarrassed enough by Bass’ comment that he reminded his audience at the end of their interview that he and Bass weren’t suggesting Thomas wasn’t actually a true African American.
“I might note neither you or I is suggesting Clarence Thomas is not African American,” Sharpton said.
“We just may [disagree] with how he has used his–”
“It’s an African American voice,” Bass said.
“That’s right, I just wanted to clarify that,” Sharpton said.
Thomas has been vilified by many on the left since he joined the Supreme Court in 1991 after a particularly contentious nomination fight, with some even throwing the racial slur “Uncle Tom” at him for being conservative.

The 10 most troubling quotes from Gov. Rick Snyder's office e-mail dump

The 10 most troubling quotes from Gov. Rick Snyder's office e-mail dump
"March 3, 2015 e-mail from Dennis Muchmore, the governor's chief of staff
"I have become increasingly concerned about the situation in Flint and the lack of empathy for the residents. 
I'm not sure that buying water from Ice Mountain or Bill Young makes sense and I don't know about (redacted) since they buy it from Bill or local sources and repackage. 
But, it would seem to me that buying some and giving it to residents who are having discoloration or smell issues would be fair and prudent until it gets ironed out. 
Maybe this doesn't make sense to you and if not just chalk it up to the delirium I'm feeling fro the sun and drop the idea.... 
I worry that swooping in may reinforce the idea that there is something wrong with the water after all. 
But, it seems to me that that would be small issue compared to blowing off these ministers and their concerns. 
Of course, we can't supply the water forever so maybe working with Wayne (Workman in Treasury) something can be figured out."

'Cajun John Wayne' resigns from sheriff's office

'Cajun John Wayne' resigns from sheriff's office:
Clay Higgins has resigned from the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office.
The man called the "Cajun John Wayne" made the announcement Monday on the steps of the St. Landry Parish Courthouse.
His announcement comes on the heels of some controversy surrounding the most recent video Higgins made about fugitives.
At the request of State Police, Higgins put together a video about seven suspects who have been on the run since last fall, accused members of the Gremlins Gang and under indictment on conspiracy charges.
In the video, Higgins, referred to the suspects as "animals," "thugs" and "heathens," words that have sparked debate and a response from the American Civil Liberties Union.
The union's response included a statement that said it’s “inappropriate and incorrect” for Higgins to apply a religious term to people when he has no specific information about their religious beliefs.
"I've met with the sheriff, and he has accepted my resignation," Higgins said Monday.
"I was not forced to resign. I've turned my badge in a matter of conscience."
Higgins said his religious faith has propelled him to be the person he is today..."

WW3: Fighters From Turkey Are Pouring Into Syria And Attacking Targets Despite The Ceasefire

WW3: Fighters From Turkey Are Pouring Into Syria And Attacking Targets Despite The Ceasefire
Middle East MapThe ceasefire in Syria is a joke.  Turkish military units continue to mass along the border, and militants are pouring across the border to attack targets in northern Syria.  The Prime Minister of Turkey is now openly admitting that his government is supporting the militants that are trying to overthrow the Syrian government, and the Turkish government has also made it abundantly clear that they have no plans to stop shelling the Kurds on the other side of the border.  So despite the “ceasefire”, the truth is that the threat of World War 3 breaking out in the Middle East is greater than ever.
At times it is difficult to see the dividing line between the Turkish military and the radical jihadists that are hopping back and forth across the border with the full support of the Turkish government.  Over the weekend, militants from Turkey that crossed over into northern Syria were supported by artillery fire from the Turkish military as they attacked a key Kurdish town
In the Raqqa province, a group of some 100 fighters crossed into Syria from Turkey. The group later joined forces with other militants and attacked the Kurdish town of Tell Abyad.
The 250-strong group was supported by artillery fire from the Turkish territory, a fact that Russia said the US should explain. The Kurdish YPG militia fended off the attack, the report said.
This is an act of war, and yet the Obama administration does not seem to mind.
If Turkey will not even honor the ceasefire, what hope is there that anything will be able to stop them from acting so aggressively?
At this point, the Turks are not even pretending anymore.  Just the other day, Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu openly admitted that his nation is backing the militants that are trying to overthrow the Assad regime…

Kohl's Makes Major Announcement About Future... This Is Obama's America:

"Though President Barack Obama and his liberal allies in the media would have us believe that the U.S. economy is strong and doing well, most Americans have realized that it is in fact rather weak and vulnerable.

More proof of that sad but realistic assessment was released on Thursday, when the Kohl’s department store chain announced that it will soon be closing 18 retail locations, according to Yahoo! Finance.

The announced closings coincide with a Kohl’s report that profits dropped 20 percent in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year, along with its expectation that sales will remain flat this year."

Indiana University student: Laughing at me on a bike is a microaggression

Indiana University student: Laughing at me on a bike is a microaggression - The College Fix:
The threshold for showing racial animus against college students continues to plunge, with the Indiana Daily Student at Indiana University-Bloomington reporting on the troubles faced by its black students.
Among them: getting laughed at while riding a bike.
The story starts with a real racial grievance: Dorian Davis claimed that he was a victim of a drive-by drink thrower and N-word yeller, by all accounts a rare incident in the university town, yet one that the police department took seriously.
Then he and black student activist Luqmann Ruth go digging for other slights:
Ruth said he was laughed at by students on the lawn of a fraternity while he rode past them on his bike. Ruth also said students turned their backs on him when he walked into a party full of primarily white students. Davis said four of his friends were called monkeys and told to go back to the zoo while walking home from Dunnkirk.
It can’t be proven these things were racially motivated, Davis said. But he said it often feels like a deliberate effort to make black students feel out of place.
Other instances of racially-motivated hate crime are difficult for officers to pursue, [Indiana University Police Department Capt. Andy] Stephenson said, such as derogatory graffiti or crimes where the suspect doesn’t explicitly use hateful language.
What can cure these hard-to-pin-down slights of a possible racial nature? More money!
Ruth said he thinks creating a closer black community on campus would be a good first step toward a more positive experience for black students. Increased verbal and financial support for the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, the Black Student Union and movements like the Black IUnity March would show a vested interest in the college experience of minority students, Ruth said.
