From my "friend" Robert Reich!

Want to know the problem with the Koch Brothers?

-- It’s not that they are conservative.
-- And it’s not that they are billionaires.

The problem with the Kochs is simple -- they’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars to drown out the voices of millions of voters.

Progressive proposals like raising the minimum wage and guaranteeing paid sick leave are overwhelmingly popular. But the Koch brothers stand against them. They’re fighting for tax breaks for billionaires (like themselves).

This November, we have the chance to elect Democrats who will fight for a fairer America. But we need to take on Republican outside spending first. That's why it's so critical you and I raise $1,OOO,OOO before Wednesday's ad buy deadline to fight Koch-funded attacks with the facts.

This is one of the most critical ad buy deadlines of the entire election. Can you pitch in $5 right now?

Kroger Once Again Stands Up to the Anti-Second Amendment Rights Bullies

Kroger Once Again Stands Up to the Anti-Second Amendment Rights Bullies:

"The anti-gun rights group Moms Demand Action has been on a tirade recently, bullying business to alter their policy on guns in a manner that meets their approval. But, there is one business that refuses to cave to their demand and they just sent Moms Demand Action a message that they will not be bullied or shamed into submission."


The internet NEVER lies....right?-------Top 16 Small Cities in Michigan

This article would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
And inaccurate.....
Top 16 Small Cities in Michigan | City Described
6. Muskegon
The name Muskegon comes from the Ottawa Indian word ‘Masquigon,’ which means swamp or marshy river. The area’s history dates to the Paleo-Indian era seven to eight thousand years ago. The Ottawa tribe lived in the Muskegon region approximately two-thousand years ago, according to the Muskegon-Michigan website.
The fur trade made the Hudson Bay Company rich and Chicago used Muskegon lumber to rebuild after the fire of 1871. More millionaires lived in the Muskegon region during that era than any other city in the United States, the Muskegon-Michigan website states.
Muskegon sits on the shores of Lake Michigan and has picturesque beaches that bring tourists to the area for sightseeing, fishing and swimming. 
The city known as the Riviera of the West continues to prosper with community renovation projects to beautify and restore some of the historic buildings in the city, as related to the Muskegon-Michigan website.
Muskegon produced a music industry innovator in James Newell Osterberg, Jr. Known to the world as Iggy Pop, James changed the Punk rock world. Iggy played drums in a number of high school bands before moving to Chicago to study the blues. Iggy formed the Psychedelic Stooges and his career began as stated on the Outdoor-Michigan website.
Well-known televangelist Jim Bakker grew up in Muskegon. Since his divorce from Tammy Faye, he remarried to Lori Beth Graham in 1998. Jim Bakker appeared on television for ten years in support of the PTL Ministries and fans loved him and his wife Tammy Faye. Unknown to Tammy and the viewers, Jim had diverted money from the PTL and stolen viewer’s money to support his hidden lifestyle, found on the Hall of Infamy website.
The Pyrotechnics Guild International (PGI) Convention comes to Muskegon every August. More than 10-thousand people attend the convention every year even PGI members flock to the small town. Only PGI members are allowed into the convention but the convention’s public displays draw huge crowds, reports the Atlas Obscura website.

Well, this helps when making a political choice-----Is Caring About Climate Change an Essential Part of LGBT Identity?

Is Caring About Climate Change an Essential Part of LGBT Identity? - The Daily Beast
To the radical LGBT activists most likely to march in New York City on Sunday, caring about global warming expresses solidarity with the oppressed. 
But what about the mainstream gays?

On Sunday, a gaggle of queer folks will be joining the “People’s Climate March,” a rally in New York City projected to attract more than 100,000 attendees. Unfortunately, those who could help the cause the most are the least likely to show up.
Marching under banners such as “Queers for the Climate,” LGBT climate activists are, first and foremost, agitating for action on climate change. But they are also saying something about what LGBT activism should be about, and saying something quite different from the (current) gay mainstream. The question is whether they can make an impact.
The trouble is that while the radically minded queers may be more inspired to march in the People’s Climate March, they may be the least likely to convince others.
....To a “mainstream gay,” having a group called Queers for the Climate may make little sense. I mean, there’s no harm in it. But other than perhaps getting someone’s phone number at the climate march, there doesn’t seem to be any particular reason for it, either.
To a “radical queer,” on the other hand, caring about climate change is an essential part of queer identity. It expresses solidarity with the oppressed—which in this case may include almost everyone—opposition to the one percenters who got us into this mess, and a righteous indignation nourished by decades of LGBT activist experience.

For Voter ID Opponents, This Was a Stunning Blow

For Voter ID Opponents, This Was a Stunning Blow:

Gotta be true. It's on the Internet!-------Woman Gets Third Breast

Jasmine Tridevil: Woman Gets Third Breast -- NYMag:
"A Florida woman who goes by the name Jasmine Tridevil figured out that there is really only one acceptable reason to get a third breast: to buck traditional beauty standards and purposely make yourself unattractive to men.
The 21-year-old massage therapist claims she had to ask over 50 doctors to perform the surgery, which involved taking skin tissue from her abdomen and adding a silicon implant.
She also got an areola tattooed on. The procedure cost $20,000, and Tridevil reportedly had to sign an NDA so couldn't disclose what doctor performed it.
 "I got it because I wanted to make myself unattractive to men," Tridevil said on a recent radio broadcast.

"Because I don’t want to date anymore."
 Given the fact that most men love boobs, I'm not entirely sure getting another one is the fastest route to unattractiveness, but her attempted commitment to misandry is commendable.
Meanwhile, the photos look kinda 'shopped, so I'm really hoping this isn't some sort of viral marketing scheme for American Horror Story: Freak Show."

Yup, it's the fault of them dang white crackers. Again!------Clinton Labor Sec.: ‘Mostly white’ suburban county to blame for Detroit’s woes

Clinton Labor Sec.: ‘Mostly white’ suburban county to blame for Detroit’s woes - EAGnews.org

Detroit-in-ruins-15DETROIT – In a recent Detroit Free Press op-ed, University of California-Berkeley Professor Robert Reich places the blame for the city of Detroit’s bankruptcy on the “mostly white” residents of Oakland County.

“But Detroit is really a model for how wealthier and whiter Americans escape the costs of public goods they would otherwise share with poorer and darker Americans,” Reich wrote. “ … But one thing is for certain: A very large and prosperous group close by won’t sacrifice a cent — the mostly white citizens of neighboring Oakland County.”

Yikes! The left is now telling women to NOT defend themselves. And use "ugly" as a defense. That'll work.......... University event says men can prevent rape through taco runs

University event says men can prevent rape through taco runs:


A student event at Arizona State University suggested that intoxicated men just grab tacos with friends in order to prevent rape.
The event, sponsored by the student group I Always Get Consent, made the claim that teaching women self-defense techniques perpetuates “rape culture” and advised men to tell their drunken buddies at the bar that a woman is ugly to prevent him from going home with her and raping her.
"If you are drunk and someone says, let’s go get tacos, everyone is up and moving to get the food, right?"   
“How many of you guys have been at a party or been with friends, and might be under the influence and someone suggests food?” said Kat Hofland, who headlined the event. “If you are drunk and someone says, let’s go get tacos, everyone is up and moving to get the food, right?”
Alternatively, Hofland, an ASU student, said that people could try to persuade intoxicated male friends that the girl he is talking to is “ugly” and “not worth sleeping with.” She also suggested the audience just be that “annoying friend” and follow the intoxicated male around until he becomes frustrated and gives up his pursuit.
“You don’t want to have drunk blacked-out sex” said Hofland, “Just wait until the morning for some awesome morning sex.”
Hofland blamed the popular song, “ Blurred Lines” and rape jokes for perpetuating rape culture in everyday events and details. 
She also claimed that teaching women self-defense techniques such as fashioning a weapon out of keys by sticking them between knuckles, possessing pepper spray, fighting back against an attacker, and consistently being aware of one’s surroundings contributed to rape culture.
“We should be telling people not to rape people,” she said. “All these things we tell women to do...they don’t bring down the number of rapes that happen. They don’t.”
“We get a lot of messages about how to ‘protect yourself from rape’ when that’s an unrealistic expectation.” Hofland told Campus Reform in an interview. “Things that we hear all the time about protecting ourselves don’t help because they’re based off of a false idea of what sexual violence looks like.”
Other events throughout the week included a “consent lemonade stand,” a “consent fair,” and “consent swimming” held on each of ASU’s four campuses.

3OO,OOO Signatures Needed: Demand Rush Limbaugh’s sponsors pull their ads after his sexual assault comments >>
Sandra Fluke has been the target of disgusting, sexist comments from Rush Limbaugh before. So his latest abhorrent rant is no surprise to her.

Stand with Sandra and help us hit 3OO,OOO signatures today to put real pressure on Rush’s advertisers to drop him once and for all:

Dear Ralph,

Rush Limbaugh is back, tearing down women and spreading offensive misinformation.

This country is in the middle of a gravely serious conversation about how to stop the epidemic of sexual assault on college campuses, and we’re making progress in a lot of places. But earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh made this absolutely outrageous and destructive comment:
"How many of you guys, in your own experience with women, have learned that ‘no’ means ‘yes’ if you know how to spot it?"
Enough is enough. As a previous target of Limbaugh’s sexist attacks, take it from me: we need to stand together and call Rush out. The DCCC has a petition to tell advertisers to stop funding this repulsive commentary. Will you add your name today?

Sign Your Name: http://action.dccc.org/Stop-Rush-Limbaugh

Rape is the number one crime committed on campuses. One in five women will be assaulted during their time at college. And right now, the weeks between orientation and Thanksgiving, is the most dangerous time for female students.

We need to take a stand. We need to stop victim-blaming, and the idea that “no” means “yes” is a BIG part of the problem. Will you sign the DCCC’s petition right now?

Very good read---Gird Your Loins, it's the War on Women (Again)

Articles: Gird Your Loins, it's the War on Women (Again)
To start, we must emphasize the fallacies that underlie this notion of women as moral arbiters -- a special sector of the species that motherly like rocks the cradle  and cares only for our best interests.

1) Women politicians are as dishonest and hypocritical as the men. Their sex is not immune from such things

2) Women politicians are no less corrupt than their male counterparts

3) The issues the Democrats tout will hurt women voters as much as they hurt men , if not more

Although all these issues have strong political consequences, it is by no means clear that their origin is, itself, political. I would suggest that a more likely situation is that politics is always opportunistically seeking some cause that fits its needs. However, once an illusional issue becomes a passionate belief, it becomes impervious to argument. Given how dangerous some illusional positions are, it is an important problem to know how to avoid them.....

Undoing the support for numbskull Democrat initiatives is not an easy task. As the Annenberg Foundation noted in poll results this week, Americans (at least a third of them) are strikingly ignorant about government.

Maybe as “Miss Marple” noted in an online discussion this week, it’s not that these citizens are stupid, just not interested in government and how it works. This might not have mattered much decades ago where the difference between the parties and their goals were not all that apparent, but it matters greatly today and we must think of new, more imaginative ways to reach the uninformed.....

Don't see too much interest in this "war"----------Male-On-Male Rape Epidemic in Obama’s Pro-Deviancy Military

Male-On-Male Rape Epidemic in Obama’s Pro-Deviancy Military - BarbWire.com
According to the Daily Mail, a prominent newspaper in the UK, male on male rape in the United States military is reaching epidemic proportions.
Absorb this tragic excerpt:
When a man enters the military he is ten times likelier to be sexually abused, and in 2012 alone there were an estimated 14,200 reports of male rape.
Read that again.
A man who enlists in the United States military is ten times more likely to be on the receiving end of sexual abuse than if he remains in the civilian population.
The risk of being raped jumps a staggering 1,000 percent.
Our military has become a playground for sexual predators, a veritable smorgasbord of victims for homosexuals on the prowl.

I'm thinkin' you'd of heard about this moron if he was a "Tea Party" candidate---------Baltimore Sheriff Candidate: “White People Should Shut The F*ck Up, You’re The Most Violent People On The Planet”…

Baltimore Sheriff Candidate: “White People Should Shut The F*ck Up, You’re The Most Violent People On The Planet”… | RedFlagNews.com

A man running for Baltimore County sheriff on an “anti-police brutality platform” raised some eyebrows with his recent comments, saying, “white people should just shut the f*ck up” because they’re “the most violent people on the planet.”
The comments were made while he ranted about the Ray Rice case, arguing that the running back’s wife was the one at fault.
“Women want equality, she got some of it,” Wiggins wrote. “There are only white Jew women on this thread telling me what black women think… When you whites, particularly you Jews, stop killing women in the Middle East with your dual citizenship, then come talk to me about protecting women’s rights.”
On his website, Wiggins also accuses white Baltimore Police of “assassinating” black men.
“The murders of Black men are continuing with ‘no motive,’ ‘no suspects’,” he writes in his “Baltimore Genocide Report.” “PBD are engaging in random assassinations.”

Anti-logic: the education plague

Anti-logic: the education plague | The Daily Sheeple:
In all times and places, logic is never taught to the masses. 
There is no intention to do so.
Now, in our “egalitarian society,” education carries with it great PR pretension, a fakery that outflanks any other period in history.
Therefore, graduating students wrongly believe they know how to think.

...In this article, I want to focus on a particular logical fallacy I call: “this means that.”
It runs rampant throughout society. 
The fallacy bleeds into the reasoning process, into notions of self-worth, into people’s need to identify themselves with an “acceptable” position.

Take the concept of manmade global warming. 
For many people, affirming this as a reality means:
“I’m defending the sacred quality of life on Earth, I’m helping the planet, I’m exposing the nasty crimes of big corporations, I’m acknowledging and shining a spotlight on the selfish and petty actions of the masses, I’m in the vanguard of recognizing that this issue represents the greatest threat humankind has ever known, I’m transcending ‘profits over values’, I’m envisioning with others a better world, I’m aligning myself with the best international scientific minds, I’m experiencing the sensation of having a larger mission in life.”
This—manmade global warming—means all that.
Therefore, how do you approach rational discourse on the subject of manmade warming?
You don’t.
There is no logic to be found. 
There is only “this means that.”
The concept or idea or symbol of manmade warming is so fully packed with sentiment, it resists all attempts at entry.

Memo to the BBC: The 'Far Right' Did Not Decapitate David Haines nor Rape 1400 Girls in Rotherham

Memo to the BBC: The 'Far Right' Did Not Decapitate David Haines nor Rape 1400 Girls in Rotherham:
"Here is the news:
in Australia, a plot by Islamic State sympathisers to capture random members of the public and chop their heads off has been foiled by security services;
in Syria, two Americans and a British hostage have been beheaded by an Islamist nicknamed Jihadi John
- and another innocent Briton (a taxi driver captured while working for an aid convoy) has been told he is next on the list;
across Britain, in the aftermath of the Rotherham enquiry, more and more evidence is emerging that in towns and cities all over the country mostly underage white girls have been systematically groomed, raped and trafficked by organised Muslim gangs, with the complicity of local government authorities, charity workers, police officers and the broader Muslim community.

Luckily, thanks to the BBC, we know what the real problem is here. 
It is, of course, our old friends, "Islamophobia" and "the spectre of a far right" backlash."

This guy gonna git some moolah-----Pro-life teacher fired for opposing Planned Parenthood sues district

Pro-life teacher fired for opposing Planned Parenthood sues district - EAGnews.org:
"PORTLAND – Former Benson High School teacher, Bill Diss, who was fired last year for openly opposing Planned Parenthood, has filed a lawsuit against Portland Public Schools claiming wrongful termination.
According to OregonLive.com, the 38-page lawsuit asserts that Diss’ “troubles with the district began in February 2007 when he actively began to protest plans for a Planned Parenthood headquarters in Northeast Portland.”
In 2009, Planned Parenthood filed a police report and a complaint against Diss with the state Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, saying he improperly took banners and signs from the clinic’s groundbreaking site months earlier.
Diss said he committed no crime and no charges were filed by police.

According to the lawsuit against the district:
As the attention mounted, the plaintiff was summoned for questioning by Benson High School administrators.
He was interrogated about his activities by the principal and by an attorney for the District.
The activities in question occurred on his own time, not at school, nonetheless he was specifically instructed not to mention the fact that he was a teacher or where he worked when making public statements.

‘Not a Snowball’s Chance In Hell': Former Head of Marine Corps Slams Obama’s ISIS Strategy

‘Not a Snowball’s Chance In Hell': Former Head of Marine Corps Slams Obama’s ISIS Strategy

At a conference in D.C. on Friday, General James Conway (the 34th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps) slammed Obama’s ISIS strategy with a potent dose of reality.
The Daily Caller reported on what Conway had to say:
“I don’t think the president’s plan has a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding,” retired Marine General James Conway, who served as the 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps during the end of the Bush administration and the beginning of the Obama administration, said at the Maverick PAC Conference in Washington, D.C. Friday, according to a source in attendance. 
*
The source said Conway’s major concern was that the U.S. did not have a force on the ground in Syria it could rely on, like the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iraq. Though the Obama administration believes it can support what it says are moderate rebel forces in Syria to aid in the fight against ISIS, many critics warn that there may be no truly moderate force in the country of any significant strength.
