“The inequity of our criminal justice system is on full display right on this podium right here,” he said. “So I gave $20,000 of my own money over the campaign finance limit. I got 8 months in overnight confinement. You bombed the Pentagon and tried to bomb all kinds of other things — how much time did you do in the slammer?”

Mayor’s Response to Children Being Sexually Harassed by Migrants: “Don’t Provoke Them”
Mayor’s Response to Children Being Sexually Harassed by Migrants: “Don’t Provoke Them” » Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!:
A Mayor in the German town of Bad Schlema prompted fury when he responded to a grandfather’s concern about young girls being sexually harassed by migrants by responding; “don’t provoke them”.
A Mayor in the German town of Bad Schlema prompted fury when he responded to a grandfather’s concern about young girls being sexually harassed by migrants by responding; “don’t provoke them”.
The exchange occurred during a raucous municipal council meeting last week which ended with residents demanding the Mayor step down over his comments.
With public opinion on the 1.1 million migrants Germany has taken in over the last year souring after the mass molestation of women in Cologne, a grandfather stood up at the council meeting to ask Mayor Jens Müller, of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union party, whether measures would be taken to stop the harassment.
“I have a question regarding the school… about Physical education in the school gym”, the man stated . “My Granddaughter, she’s under ten — and it’s also happened in a nearby town, that’s right — the girls have been harassed by the refugee ‘children’, the ‘asylum seekers’.”
“They get harassed from the windows [of the shelter] and things like that. How will this be in the summer? When the School girls wear less clothing?” he asked.
“That’s easy; just don’t provoke them and don’t walk in these areas”, the Mayor responded.
The rest of the attendees immediately began booing, but the Mayor subsequently doubled down on his idiocy, suggesting that Germans were equally to blame when he commented, “Do you think this [sexual harassment] doesn’t exist among Germans”...
Seriously? Brian Williams Proclaims to Be the ‘Purveyor of Truth and Justice’
Seriously? Brian Williams Proclaims to Be the ‘Purveyor of Truth and Justice’
A totally clueless Brian Williams on Monday night warned MSNBC viewers to not fall for false information as Iowa caucus results rolled in.
The man who became known for spinning vast numbers of falsehoods while anchor at NBC News ominously began, “There's going to be some data floating around, especially the internet tonight.”
He continued, “The first wave of that data is notoriously suspect. So, don't believe everything you see and hear tonight.”
With no self-awareness, Williams proclaimed, “We hopefully will be the purveyors of truth and justice here.”
Speaking of truth, on June 18, Williams apologized, “I'm sorry. I said things that weren't true. I let down my NBC colleagues and our viewers, and I'm determined to earn back their trust.”
Williams famously told several varying stories about taking fire in a Chinook helicopter.
He described it as “Black Hawk Down meets Saving Private Ryan.”
On another occasion, during Hurricane Katrina, he asserted, “I have seen thousands of dead people.”
Obviously, Williams is not the right person to be a “purveyor of truth and justice.”

Goldman Sachs Says It May Be Forced to Fundamentally Question How Capitalism Is Working
Goldman Sachs Says It May Be Forced to Fundamentally Question How Capitalism Is Working - Bloomberg Business:
"...In other words, profit margins should naturally mean-revert and oscillate.
The existence of fat margins should encourage new competitors and pricing cycles that cause those margins to erode; conversely, at the bottom of the cycle, low margins should lead to weaker players exiting the business and giving stronger companies more breathing space.
If that cycle doesn't continue, something strange is taking place.
Needless to say, it's not every day you see a major investment bank say it might have to start asking broader questions about capitalism itself. "

No one gets through life without collecting both emotional

types of problems we face are the same, yet uniquely different. We struggle financially, through family
situations and changes, employment concerns, personal relationships, the loss
of family members and friends. How we
face and react to the challenges of life determines our character, strength and

Puppet Branches
By Tammy Derouin
Life has many ups and downs.
Each roadblock or difficulty we face becomes a personal challenge. How we handle the challenge is what shapes us
as individuals. Lessons learned prepare
us for the next obstacle we will face.
Some challenges are more difficult than others. At times it may feel like no matter what you
do, the pain and misery will never end. Eventually, you accept, deal with the
situation and move on to the next challenge.
Refusing to see a problem causes additional suffering as you will be
forced to repeat the challenge possibly more than once.

and physical bruises and scars. The

face and react to the challenges of life determines our character, strength and
our stability as individuals.
What I struggle with is how much we, as a nation, took our
safety and security for granted. We were an exceptional nation because we not
only had our freedom but we had a government that actively protected our
freedom as well as our borders. National security was once a high
priority. In our new reality, our
government is more concerned about getting our potential enemy inside our
borders, providing them with financial assistance and distributing them
throughout our country.
We once had a system of checks and balances. We had an Executive Branch, a Legislative
Branch and a Judicial Branch. Each would
check the constitutionality of the actions taking place within the other
branches. Sadly, that is no longer the
case. We have allowed the Executive
Branch to become unchallengeable. In the end, that will make the others
obsolete or puppet branches of government...

Long-term marijuana use tied to worse verbal memory in middle age
Long-term marijuana use tied to worse verbal memory in middle age | Reuters
As marijuana becomes more accessible to young and old alike in the U.S., researchers warn that long-term use of the drug may cause lasting harm to at least one type of brain function.
A new study based on following thousands of young adults into middle age finds that long-term marijuana use is linked to poorer performance on verbal memory tests, but other areas of brain function do not appear to be affected.
...Auer and colleagues analyzed data from a 25-year U.S. study of young adults, which included repeated measures of marijuana exposure over time and a standardized test of verbal memory, processing speed and executive function in year 25.
Almost 3,500 participants completed the standardized tests.
At the beginning of the study period in the 1980s, participants were 18 to 30 years old and more than 80 percent reported past marijuana use.
Just 12 percent continued to use marijuana into middle age, according to the results in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Researchers found that as past years of marijuana use increased, verbal memory scores decreased.
In practical terms, the results meant that for every additional five years of exposure, 50 percent of marijuana users would remember one less word from a list of 15 tested words.

WW2 Survivor's Account Draws Chilling Similarities between Nazism and Liberalism... » Louder With Crowder:
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
Why?
Because for the majority of human history, human beings have lived in bondage, in poverty, under despotic leaders, with little to no freedom.
But there’s a reason human beings have time and again voted for their own oppression: freedom is hard.
It is not easy to be the governor of your own life.
It involves struggle, toil, hard work, and it isn’t easy.
Contrast personal freedom with the promise of collective “safety” and “security,” ambiguous terms sold by political charlatans in order to secure their power.

World War II survivor and Austrian Kitty Werthmann is a lesson in history.
Her tale of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power is one we should all watch.
It’s chilling, it’s terrifying, but worst of all, it sounds familiar.
Watch:
Highlights:
Hitler gave everyone a free radio.
He was a great orator.
And then he nationalized the radio.
Citizens were warned if they listened to anything other than Nazi radio, they would be put to death.
The only voice they had was the government radio station and the government controlled newspaper.
Hitler gave Austrian equal rights for everyone.
Also, everybody getting a guaranteed income from the government.
The equal rights amendment was designed in two components, equality, economics and social. Economics was designed to equalize the countries wealth because everyone was entitled to equal income.
To achieve that, they had to raise taxes to 70%.
People got fuel stamps, heating fuel.
The government equalized the countries wealth by taxing us.

Moms stayed home, raised their families.
But in socialism, if you didn’t work, you were called a parasite.
Moms had to go to work and leave the kids to where?
A daycare center.
The longer you left your child with the schools and daycare, the better the government liked it.
These caretakers were from the government, trained in psychology, to mold the children.
Education was then nationalized.

But did you notice how Hitler did it?
But did you notice how Hitler did it?
Incrementally.
Not over night, not in a day, not in a week.
Slowly, over time, one area of life and then another.
Do it the Nazi way, it’s the better way.
You can’t trust the media, you have to listen to the national media.
You cannot trust private institutions, you have to trust the government institutions.
And you moms who want to stay at home with your children to raise them right?
No, get out of the home, work, and do the right thing by putting your children through our state school...."

With Zika, Time to Bring Back DDT
With Zika, Time to Bring Back DDT | Economics21:
The Zika virus is spreading by mosquitos northward through Latin America, possibly correlated with birth defects such as microcephaly in infants.
Stories and photos of their abnormally small skulls are making headlines.
The World Health Organization reports that four million people could be infected by the end of 2016.
On Monday, the WHO is meeting to decide how to address the crisis.
The international body should recommend that the ban on DDT should be reversed, in order to kill the mosquitoes that carry Zika and malaria, a protistan parasite that has no cure.
Zika is in the news, but it is dwarfed by malaria.
About 300 million to 600 million people suffer each year from malaria, and it kills about 1 million annually, 90 percent in sub-Saharan Africa.
We have the means to reduce Zika and malaria—and we are not using it.
Under the Global Malaria Eradication Program, which started in 1955, DDT was used to kill the mosquitoes that carried the parasite, and malaria was practically eliminated.
Some countries such as Sri Lanka, which started using DDT in the late 1940s, saw profound improvements. Reported cases fell from nearly 3 million a year to just 17 cases in 1963.
In Venezuela, cases fell from over 8 million in 1943 to 800 in 1958.
India saw a dramatic drop from 75 million cases a year to 75,000 in 1961.
This changed with the publication of Rachel Carson’s 1962 book, Silent Spring, which claimed that DDT was hazardous.
After lengthy hearings between August 1971 and March 1972, Judge Edmund Sweeney, the EPA hearing examiner, decided that there was insufficient evidence to ban DDT and that its benefits outweighed any adverse effects.
Yet, two months afterwards, then-EPA Administrator William D. Ruckelshaus overruled him and banned DDT effective December 31, 1972.
...Even though nothing is as cheap and effective as DDT, it is not a cure-all for malaria.
But a study by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences concluded that spraying huts in Africa with DDT reduces the number of mosquitoes by 97 percent compared with huts sprayed with an alternative pesticide.
Those mosquitoes that do enter the huts are less likely to bite.
By forbidding DDT and relying on more expensive, less effective methods of prevention, we are causing immense hardship.
Small environmental losses are inferior to saving thousands of human lives and potentially increasing economic growth in developing nations.
We do not yet have data on the economic effects of the Zika virus, but we know that countries with a high incidence of malaria can suffer a 1.3 percent annual loss of economic growth.
According to a Harvard/WHO study, sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP could be $100 billion greater if malaria had been eliminated 35 years ago.
Rachel Carson died in 1964, but the legacy of Silent Spring and its recommended ban on DDT live with us today.
Millions are suffering from malaria and countless others are contracting the Zika virus as a result of the DDT ban.
They were never given the choice of living with DDT or dying without it.
The World Health Organization should recognize that DDT has benefits, and encourage its use in combating today’s diseases.
