Dramatic Footage: How Venezuelans Get Milk Powder
Dramatic Footage: How Venezuelans Get Milk Powder | Zero Hedge:
It's been a sad week for Venezuela.
It's been a sad week for Venezuela.
First, on Wednesday we showed what happens to local supermarkets when formerly Latin American paradises run out of other people's money.
Then, the next day we showed what happens when in the aftermath of scenes such as the one above the social mood turns violent, and how what was once supposed to be a socialist utopia paradise ends uplooking like a warzone.
Today we show how the local population is forced to act like stampeding animals when it comes to obtaining even the most basic of staples, in this case milk powder.
The clip below speaks for itself.
How High Are Gas Taxes in Your State?
How High Are Gas Taxes in Your State? | Tax Foundation:
"This week’s tax map takes a look at state gasoline tax rates, using data from a recent report by the American Petroleum Institute.
Pennsylvania has the highest rate of 51.60 cents per gallon (cpg), and is followed closely by New York (45.99 cpg), Hawaii (45.10 cpg), and California (42.35 cpg).
On the other end of the spectrum,
Alaska has the lowest rate at 12.25 cpg, but New Jersey (14.50 cpg) and South Carolina (16.75 cpg) aren’t far behind.
These rates do not include the additional 18.40 cent federal excise tax."

Obama rule for power plants to compel steeper emissions cuts
My Way News - Obama rule for power plants to compel steeper emissions cuts:
"Aiming to jolt the rest of the world to action, President Barack Obama moved ahead Sunday with even tougher greenhouse gas cuts on American power plants, setting up a certain confrontation in the courts with energy producers and Republican-led states.
In finalizing the unprecedented pollution controls, Obama was installing the core of his ambitious and controversial plan to drastically reduce overall U.S. emissions, as he works to secure a legacy on fighting global warming.
Yet it will be up to Obama's successor to implement his plan, which has faced steep Republican opposition from Capitol Hill to the 2016 campaign trail.
Opponents planned to sue immediately, and to ask the courts to put the rule on hold while legal challenges play out.
Many states have threatened not to comply.
The Obama administration estimated the emissions limits will cost $8.4 billion annually by 2030.
The actual price won't be clear until states decide how they'll reach their targets.
But energy industry advocates said the revision makes Obama's mandate even more burdensome, costly and difficult to achieve."

The Worst Expansion Since World War II Was Even Weaker
The Worst Expansion Since World War II Was Even Weaker - Real Time Economics - WSJ
The economic expansion—already the worst on record since World War II—is weaker than previously thought, according to newly revised data.
The economic expansion—already the worst on record since World War II—is weaker than previously thought, according to newly revised data.
From 2012 through 2014, the economy grew at an all-too-familiar rate of 2% annually, according to three years of revised figures the Commerce Department released Thursday. That’s a 0.3 percentage point downgrade from prior estimates.
The revisions were released concurrently with the government’s first estimate of second-quarter output.
Since the recession ended in June 2009, the economy has advanced at a 2.2% annual pace through the end of last year.
That’s more than a half-percentage point worse than the next-weakest expansion of the past 70 years, the one from 2001 through 2007.
While there have been highs and lows in individual quarters, overall the economy has failed to break out of its roughly 2% pattern for six years..."

Social Security Bankruptcy -- The Government Knows It's Coming
Social Security Bankruptcy -- The Government Knows It's Coming | National Review Online
While engaging in the mundane task of gathering financial statements for a “secure retirement” meeting with my husband’s and my adviser, this Baby Boomer stumbled upon documented proof that our nation does not have the guts to confront one of its most serious economic problems.
The realization came when I pulled from my files a document statement innocently titled, “Your Social Security Statement.”
At first glance, the statement did not appear menacing.
I was told I could expect to receive a benefit of “about $2,136 a month” upon reaching age 70 — which certainly seems like good news.
But immediately I thought of a parallel of President Obama’s infamous Obamacare promise: “If you like your Social Security, you can keep your Social Security.”
Then, as if on cue, I saw an asterisk with the following message:
The law governing benefit amounts may change because, by 2033, the payroll taxes collected will be enough to pay only about 77 percent of scheduled benefits.
...This impending “benefit rationing,” reducing my future financial “security” by $492 a month, may, in fact, not be the worst of it.

BREAKING: Obama's Military Makes Sick Move Against Navy Officer Who Shot Muslim Attacker
BREAKING: Obama's Military Makes Sick Move Against Navy Officer Who Shot Muslim Attacker:"Just like many other Americans, West wondered how in the world this could take place. The answer can only be found in Obama’s “leadership.”
In one of his columns, West suggested that it seemed the military would “prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center.” Given the charges being brought against White, it would certainly appear to be true."
'Cool kids' can go on to become losers in later life, study finds
'Cool kids' can go on to become losers in later life, study finds - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent:
"Being the "cool kid" might seem ideal at school but it can land you in difficulties later on in life, according to a new study.
The work, "Whatever Happened to the Cool Kids?", was published in the journal Child Development by researchers at the University of Virginia, and looked at the lives of more than 180 teenagers in America over a decade.
But the results might not be to the liking of those who want to rule the roost at their schools.
According to the study, teenagers who tried to act cool and were popular during their younger years had a higher risk of experiencing problems as adults, including alcohol and drug abuse, and becoming involved in crime.
So 'cool teens' - made popular in films by characters such as James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause and Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls - may go on to lose out.
Professor Joseph Allen, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, said: “It appears that while so-called cool teens’ behaviour might have been linked to early popularity, over time, these teens needed more and more extreme behaviours to try to appear cool, at least to a sub-group of other teens,” the Daily Mail reports.
“So they became involved in more serious criminal behaviour and alcohol and drug use as adolescence progressed.
“These previously cool teens appeared less competent – socially and otherwise – than their less cool peers by the time they reaches young adulthood...”

Can we stop this deadly Iran deal?
...Second, even if Congress is able to override Obama’s veto, we cannot stop the full scope of the deal from going into effect.
As John Bolton explained during an interview on Fox News, because Obama partnered with European nations, they will still honor the deal irrespective of our actions.
Obama intentionally surrendered our sovereignty to Europe.
And that doesn’t even take into account Russia or China.
According to Bolton, all Congress can do is stop Obama from lifting sanctions.
And if that happens, it triggers a clause in the deal that releases Iran from its responsibilities with respect to nuclear agreements.
To the latter point, I’m not convinced it means much.
There’s no reason to think Iran would uphold its end of the bargain no matter what the circumstance. Nor am I convinced the deal allows the West any meaningful ability to monitor Iran’s behavior. More importantly,
I have no confidence the West would take action against Iran even if they did catch Iran breaking its end of the bargain.
Quite the opposite.
...How surreal it is to type these words.
We are writing, reading, talking, screaming, raging, witnessing, and fearing our country becoming an enabler of the largest state sponsor of terror in the world.
That we are on the verge of helping a nation that wants to destroy us, acquire the weapons to do so.
That we are aligning ourselves with the 21st century Hitler.
And that we must take action -- no less fight a nearly impossible fight -- to curb this descent into evil, madness, and hell.

What’s happening to this heroic Navy officer from the Chattanooga shooting will make your blood BOIL
What’s happening to this heroic Navy officer from the Chattanooga shooting will make your blood BOIL - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com:
"As reported ten days ago by Western Journalism, “A Navy officer and Marine reportedly returned fire at the shooter who killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., even though current policy does not permit military members to carry firearms on facilities such as those where the attack occurred.
The cold-blooded assault killed four Marines and one active-duty Navy reservist.
The center’s commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, used his personal firearm to engage the shooter during the attack, according to sources quoted in the Navy Times.
A report from The Washington Post said that one of the Marines killed in the shooting might have been carrying a 9 mm Glock and possibly returned fire on the shooter.
At the time, Western Journalism wrote, Lt. Cmdr. White could face disciplinary action for violating policy about possessing a weapon on the facility that was supposedly a gun-free zone.
The investigation into the attack is ongoing, and authorities will not know if White or the Marine hit the shooter until an autopsy and a ballistics report have been completed.
Ladies and gents, resulting from the text message I received yesterday, I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property."

Steyn: Trump's Rise Shows GOP Base 'Absolutely Hates' Leadership
Steyn: Trump's Rise Shows GOP Base 'Absolutely Hates' Leadership - Breitbart:
"Columnist and author of “The Undocumented,” Mark Steyn said Donald Trump’s rise in the polls shows “the voter base of the Republican Party absolutely hates the Republican Party leadership and establishment” on Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto.”
Steyn stated, “Sen. Rand Paul says this is temporary insanity on the part of whatever it is, 20-something percent of the Republican base.
I think it was Einstein who said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again, and expecting a different result, and the base supported the Republican Party establishment, delivered them a huge victory in 2010 in the House, and a huge victory in the House and Senate in 2014, and got nothing to show for it.
And they’re tired of getting stiffed by the Republican Party establishment.
And I think Trump’s rise in the poll, reflects actually nothing more sophisticated than the fact that the voter base of the Republican Party absolutely hates the Republican Party leadership and establishment.”
...Steyn also argued that Trump’s handling of some of his misstatements is “actually a lesson for other candidates, too.
You know, the strangulated, constipated artificiality in which the candidates talk about things, where they say something mildly infelicitous, and then some spokesperson comes out and regrets that they misspoke.
Trump basically does nothing but misspeak, and he never apologizes for it.
Even the Hispanics don’t seem to mind him saying that Mexicans are just a bunch of rapists.”"

From BI:
When Dan Price, founder and CEO of the Seattle-based credit-card-payment processing firm Gravity Payments, announced he was raising the company’s minimum salary to $70,000 a year, he was met with overwhelming enthusiasm.
“Everyone start[ed] screaming and cheering and just going crazy,” Price told Business Insider shortly after he broke the news in April.
But in the weeks since then, it’s become clear that not everyone is equally pleased.
Among the critics?
Some of Price’s own employees.
...“He gave raises to people who have the least skills and are the least equipped to do the job, and the ones who were taking on the most didn’t get much of a bump,” she told The Times.
A fairer plan, she told the paper, would give newer employees smaller increases, along with the chance to earn a more substantial raise with more experience.
