Church leaders in the United States and Mexico acknowledged the need for governments to keep their country secure but said two recent U.S. presidential actions could endanger the lives of immigrants and split border communities. President Donald Trump called for construction of an “impassable physical barrier” along the United States’ southern border because “continued illegal immigration presents a clear and present danger to the interests of the United States.” He called for increased enforcement and the withdrawal of federal funds from cities and states that do not comply. The presidential actions, signed Jan. 25 at the Department of Homeland Security, brought an immediate stream of reactions from church officials, as a group and as individuals. Many cited Pope Francis’ call to build bridges and break down walls. Representatives of the bishops in the United States and Mexico, who have been working on this issue for 20 years, said the answer was comprehensive immigration reform, not a wall. Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, Texas, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Migration, said Trump’s actions would “tear families apart and spark fear and panic in communities.” Building a wall would “make migrants, especially vulnerable women and children, more susceptible to traffickers and smugglers. Additionally, the construction of such a wall destabilizes the many vibrant and beautifully interconnected communities that live peacefully along the border,” said Bishop Vasquez. “Instead of building walls, at this time, my brother bishops and I will continue to follow the example of Pope Francis. We will ‘look to build bridges between people, bridges that allow us to break down the walls of exclusion and exploitation.'” Bishops from Mexico quoted Bishop Vasquez’s remarks and spoke of the border communities served by two different dioceses. As examples, they cited Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas, as well as Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico — communities separated only by the Rio Grande. “We express our pain and rejection to the construction of this wall, and we respectfully invite you to reflect more deeply on the ways in which security, development, activation of employment and other necessary and fair measures can be pursued without causing further damage than those already suffered by the poorest and most vulnerable persons,” said the Mexican bishops. They said they would continue to help Central Americans traveling through their country en route to the United States and urged the Mexican government, when dealing with the U.S., to “safeguard dignity and respect for people, regardless of their nationality or creed.” “We respect the right of the United States government to care for its borders and its citizens, but we do not believe that a rigorous and intensive application of the law is the way to achieve those objectives; on the contrary, these actions generate alarm and fear among immigrants, disintegrating many families without further consideration,” they said. Nearly every church leader who issued a statement explicitly recognized the president’s right and duty to protect U.S. security. In a separate statement Jan. 26, Bishop Vasquez said he shared the concern that all feel when someone “is victimized by crime, especially when the perpetrator of that crime is someone who is in the United States without authorization.” However, he said, Trump’s executive action authorizing increased enforcement “would force all jurisdictions to accept a one-size-fits-all regime that might not be best for their particular jurisdictions.” He said the bishops, who work with law enforcement and immigrant communities, know how important it is to have cooperation between the two, and he said he feared Trump’s action could hurt that relationship. “I have enormous respect for and value our federal law enforcement agents who risk their lives every day to enforce our immigration laws. I also recognize that there may well be situations where local government feel they need to foster a relationship with their communities by working with the victims of or witnesses to crime without instilling a fear that by coming forward, they or their family members will be handed over to immigration authorities,” he said. The executive memorandums did not address the issue of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, nor did they discuss emigration from the Middle East, which government officials indicated would be addressed at a later time. In 2006, President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act, which authorized several hundred miles of fencing along the 2,000-mile U.S. frontier with Mexico. The Associated Press reported that legislation led to the construction of about 700 miles of various kinds of fencing designed to block both vehicles and pedestrians, primarily in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. It said the final sections were completed after President Barack Obama took office in 2009. AP reported that a 1970 treaty with Mexico requires that structures along the border cannot disrupt the flow of rivers that define the U.S.-Mexican border along Texas and 24 miles in Arizona. The bishops of Arizona, which includes 389 miles of border with Mexico, reiterated their call for comprehensive immigration reform. They said their “hearts and prayers go out to refugee families who have faced terrible violence and lost their own homes and now need a new place to live.” “Focusing on building a new border wall has the potential to take us away from these important considerations that impact vulnerable families and will ultimately be useless. Pope Francis has called for bridges, not walls, between people,” the four bishops said in a statement. In a blog, Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston reiterated the migration commission concerns about the border wall and an increase in deportations and detentions. He reiterated the archdiocese’s commitment to a policy that “protects human rights, dignity and the homeland at the same time.” Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, said Trump’s executive actions were “the opposite of what it means to be an American.” “Closing borders and building walls are not rational acts,” said the cardinal, whose grandparents were immigrants. “Mass detentions and wholesale deportation benefit no one; such inhuman policies destroy families and communities. “In fact, threatening the so-called ‘sanctuary cities’ with the withdrawal of federal funding for vital services such as health care, education and transportation will not reduce immigration. It only will harm all good people in those communities,” he said. Sean Callahan, president and CEO of Catholic Relief Services, which works in Central America, said the United States needs “to address the reasons people are leaving their homes — violence and lack of opportunity. And we need to protect their right to apply for asylum.” “While working in the most violent neighborhoods of Honduras, for example, we have seen how children are orphaned by violence,” he said. “People have a right not to migrate and remain in their home countries — that is our goal — but when their very lives are threatened, they don’t have that option. And as a nation, we have always afforded people their day in court to apply for protection.”

The United States was settled by people w ho were discontented and who faced the privations of the wilderness in the belief that" they wire , going to better themselves. V - The Declaration of Independence was signed . by men who were discontented. The Revolutionary war was fought by peo ple who were discontented. The constitution of the United States was framed and adopted by men who were discon tented. For centuries discontent 'has been rightly re . garded as one of the chief characteristics of the American people, and it is through discontent that, they spread from the Atlantic to the Pa cific! Many of their manifestations of discontent have been foolish and futile, but in the long run their inherent common sense has always saved them, and it always must save them if they are to be saved. Why should there be so much anxiety over the discontent that is now in evidence? Merely 1 because some of it is directed against institution of private property. Most Americans have pri vate property in ,one form or another. Some have more than others and some have less, but private property is the rule and not the ex ception in this country, and it is cortain to re main therrule. . The discontent that appeals to violence is not discontent in any accepted sense of the ' word. It is crime and is to be dealt with as . crime. Whenever municipal and state govern- ments will make that distinction clear and act ' pon it w ith vigor and' intelligence, most of the 'Causes of public apprehenion in regard to dis content will disappear. New York World RHODE ISLAND'S SUIT. Permission given by the aupreme court of the United States to the sovereign state of Rhode Island to attack tha prohibitoryMmend ment to the federal constitution will add an other chapter to the history of state's rights. It will necessarily involve some of the' objec tions raised at the very beginning, when the constitution was submitted to the several states for ratification. At the outset, it is curiously, interesting to recall the fact that Rhode. Island was the last of the original states to give' its consent to the constitution, and then by the narrow majority of two votes. The exact form of the question raised by Rhode Island has not yet been stated, although it brings up the broad principle of whether under the constitution one group of states is competent toenforce on another laws that em body views as to the personal habits of the citizens of the objecting states. The language of the federal constitution as to state's rights is clear enough. In the Tenth amendment it is set forth: The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited to it by the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Under the power to regulate commerce be tween the states, it has been properly held that . congress may legislate to prevent shipment of forbidden articles from one state to another, as for example, the transportation of liquor from "wet" to "dry" territory. This has been care fully outlined in the child labor cases. In the case of the Eighteenth amendment, it will be contended that the power of prohibition as ap plied to the liquor traffic is exercised by the people through' the submission and ratification of the amendment. Against this will be set up the guaranty of religious freedom, a principle capable of being extended to include other in dividual rights besides that of worship Rhode Island ' refused to v ratify the Eighteenth amendment. It now asks to be per mitted to combat ill the courts the decision reached by other states. The progress of this case will be watched with interest as great as ever attached to a trial in the United States, for its outcome will settle another of the funda mental principles of our government. , Siberia and Japanese Ambitions. Withdrawal of United States troops from Siberia is reported to be causing some wonder ment in Japan. That country asks the United States to make a formal declaration of policy as to Siberia. Back of this may be discerned the ambition of the Tokio government to expand its control over a considerable portion of the Asiatic mainland. In absence of any declara tion of intention or interest from the United States, the Japanese may decide that they are amply justified in proceeding to seize so much of the territory as they can from. the reds. This foreshadowed by the assertion that Japan will find "single-handed opposition to the reds a heavy burden, both in a military sense and financially. However, it is unthinkable) that Japan wijl withdraw its forces from Siberia." There you have it. In the rich territory of eastern Siberia the Nipponese will find a com pensation for any efforts they may be called on to make to hold back the reds. A Mongol race will return to Mongolia, and the teeming millions of the island empire that have been, clamoring for an outlet will find plenty of room to develop in wild of the older land. Thus may be solved one while another of the great questions of advancing civilization will be post poned and perhaps complicated. What About the Price of Sugar? Omaha householders are much mystified by the gyrations of the sugar market and supply. Housewives, limited to purchases of a pound at a time, hear with amazement of how sugar can be bought in Lincoln in $1 quantities at a lower figure than here, and how in Denver the purchase may be made in sack lots at 124 cents, and they wonder why Omaha should be so completely marooned as itis at present These may be interested in the statement from the American Sugar Refining company that it is planning to resume its normal activities, and that the new price will be on a basis that will enable wholesalers to purchase around 14J4 cents f. o. b. Also that the cane growers and manufacturers of Cuba have split in their as sociation, because of failure to agree as to how the loot should be divided. Almost any sort of deduction may be drawn from these sepa rated bits of . information, save the one the women folks would like to have, namely, when and where will they get the sugar. The dis closures promised by United States District At torney Allen still are looked up in the archives at Washington, and may remain there. Relief is not in sight, and patience is sorely tried. "Buy Out the Landlord." Thrift week activities are bringing forth a goodly number of expressions in response to the question: "Can a man marry on $125 a month?" Most of the letters are in line with the thought suggested by The Bee, that mar riage on that sum is not only possible, but ad visable. The writers sensibly realize that it will not permit indulgence in luxuries, but will make possible a happy home, in which a man and wife, working as equal partners in a most important enterprise, can have the best life af fords peace and contentment and comfort. Some of the writers offer good advice, and none of this is better than the proposition by one that the first business of the newly-weds is to buy out the landlord. Possession of that little plot of ground called home is the safest, sound est anchorage that holds a man to good citizen ship. t It rescues him from the position of a drifter,' gives him a standirfg in the community, and ah outlook that makes certain he will for ever be a useful member of society. The sen timental reasons are quite numerous and as potent as the practical. "Buy out the land lord" is the best advice that could be given to a' young couple just starting on life. v. Sims makes report on the conduct of the Navy department during the war 'that demands either his removal from the navy or the im peachment of the secretary- The issue is squarely joined, and action should be decisive.

Nebraska millers have one thing to report that is of great public interest, and that is the continued growth of the milling industry in the state. 1HK BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1920. 1 1 i ' Better War Risk Terms for Soldiers ' From the New York World. The recently passed Sweet bill, which was enacted Into law December 24, 1919, does not seem to be very weft understood by ex-esrvice men. . , The war-risk insurance act recently has been amended so as to liberalize greatly the various provisions covering allotments, compensation and insurance. A brief outline of the changes is herewith indicated: Allotments, otherwise family allowances, will be paid to include four months after the treaty of peace has been promulgated. This in creases the payment of family allowances by three months. PAYMENTS FOR TOTAL (NOT PERMA NENT) OR TEMPORARY DISABILITY. Caee Old Rate. New Rat. Man disabled $S0 $80 Man and wife 45 90 Man, wife and one child 55 95 x Man, wife and two children.. 65 100 Man. no wife and one child.. 40 90 Five dollars for each additional child. Father and mother additional, If dependent , upon soldier, $10 each. i This compansation is paid if the disability is rated as total or temporary. If the disabil ity is rated as partial or temporary, the monthly compensation shall be the percentage of com pensation that would be payable for the total and temporary; for example, if total temporary disability would pay $80 per month, for, three fourths disabled the compensation would b'e three-fourths of $80; if one-half disabled, it would be" one-half of $80, or $40 per month compensation. Compensation is paid for all dis ability rated over 10 per cent. Under the original law total permanent dis ability was rated as the loss of any two similar members; i. e., two arms, two legs, etc. The amendment provides that the loss of one foot and one hand, or the-loss of one foot and one eye, or one hand and one eye, or becoming per manently bedridden, shall be deemed permanent disability and compensation should be $100 per month; also provides further, that the double permanent disability i. e., loss of two legs, two arms, two eyes shall be $200 per month. In addition, if the disabled person is so disabled as to be in constant need of a nurse or attend ant, an additional sum not to exceed $20 per month may be paid. The terms of the insurance law have also been changed as to methods of settlement. The payment for converted insurance which ma tures through death or by the legal closing of the insurance contract is made optional with the insured, who may elect to have the pay ment made to beneficiary in one lump sum or in installments of 36 months or more. This will remove the greatest objection raised to the insurance in the past and makes the govern ment insurance the most attractive type of in surance now in existence. The permitted class of insurance beneficiaries has been enlarged to include( also those who were omitted formerly i. e..' aunts, uncles, nephews, brother-in-law and sisters-in-law. The rates charged have not been changed. . The above information is issued merely as a brief outline for the benefit of those who wish information on insurance and compensation. Those Taxes!! Pity the plight of George Bernard Shawl! He had what at first blush seemed the rare good fortune to receive from a New York entrepreneur an offer of $1,000,000 for the motion picture rights of all his plays. Even in these days of alleged big earnings in the movie business, it looked to be a round and comfortable sum. On closer examination, however, a fly. was found in the amber. If you live in England and make your money in America, or vice versa, you have to pay taxes in both countries. . A calculation of the'' figures involved revealed the unpleasant fact that the federal income tax and -supertax in the L'nitsd States, the special tax. in New York and the income tax and supertax in England would, between them amount to $1,017,000, so that - the luckless playwright would, by accepting the million have parted with his rights and yet - have been out of pocket $17,000 on the transaction. Needless to say, he declined the offer with thanks. Doubtless when he reflects on what war, which is the cause of these abnormal taxes, has done to him he indorses most heartily Sherman's vigorously expressed opinion on the subject. Washington Post OieVELVET U Ai inr, r-rv-S Jjyj Arthur 'Brooks "Baker yQ ANTON HOSPE. Man's transient; but he hopes to see ideas of his own expressed in paint and canvas or embodied in a stone. He likes to think that when he's long and comfortably dead, some vital interest will cling to what he's done and said. This large and noble yearning of the anxious human heart accounts for many labors which the critics label art. Should Hospe try to tell you alj he knows of art and paint the terminology he'd use would make vou weak' and faint Etruscan. Babylonian, Egyptian, Roman, Greek, the Renaissance in Spain and France, he talks 'em like a streak. He recognizes paintings by the style or by the name, or by the crypl'c mark ings in the corner of the frame. But while he loves to deal in paint distribu ted with care, he also pays attention to artistic forms of air; for air can aU be modeled into sundry modes of sounds which thrill us with emotions both inspiring and profound, though certain jazz and dailce hall styles of torturing the breeze lead back to vales of Hiair and tails and ape-men in the trees. Hurrah for 5 and 10-cent stores and tliofe of higher price. Their gaudy fronts and bar gain stunts have cut a lot of ice. Their mur ders in the guise of art, their crimes in music's name depress the hopeful human heart and start the blush of shame. But let us not resign our moods to blue and blighting spells; be glad th?t Omaha still buys the things that Hospe sells. Next Subject: John Latenser. DAY The Day We Celebrate. , Conrad H.

Your name will not be printed. Let The Bee Advise You. ofays' (om&r Arbitrator. G. D. A neighbor and myself got Into a dispute as to our boundary lines and we agreed to submit the matteft- to arbitration by leaving It to a surveyor. The surveyor who made the arbitration negligently performed his duty by giving to my neighbor more land than he was en titled to. ' Please let me know whether I can hold him personally responsible? Answei" You cannot. An arbitra tor chosen by both parties, like a public judicial official, incurs no lia bility for a judgment in the absence of statute. There was a single ex ception to this in the old chancery practice, viz., that upon a bill for discovery against an arbitrator al leging fraud he must answer, and if the fraud were found he must pay the costs. Automobile License. L. B. As I am leaving the state of Nebraska for South Dikota March 1, must I procure a license for my Ford touring car for the whole of 1920, or only the first two months? If I procure a Nebraska license will I also be compelled to take outa South Dakota license for 1920? Answer 1. If you procure a licenso in Nebraska and use it less than 90 days you are entitled to a refund of one-half the amount. 2. It depends upon the laws of South Dakota. , Divorce. - D. What should a woman do if after being married three months finds that her husband is the father of several nameless children? He never told me this until after we were married. Is this grounds enough for securing a divorce, and If so, what proceedings should I take? And who pays for the divorce? Answer You have good grounds for a divorce. Employ a lawyer, who will file a petition. If your husband is able he will have to pay the costs. Insurance. M. I. C. My late husband had his life insured and the company's agent had me surrender the policy agreeing to pay me In full. A short time afterwards they sent me a re ceipt for a certain amount which was less than the face of the policy and which I was entitled to, and I signed it and returned it. Later on I discovered that the amount sent and the receipt signed was for sev eral hundred dollars lesa than I was entitled to. Can I recover under the circumstances from the com pany the full amount? Answer You can and the amount paid will be treated as only a partial payment. Xeoessaries. G. H.

My husband died without leaving a will and I was appointed administratrix of his estate; I made application to the court to sell all his land 8 in order to pay debts. The sale was had and confirmed. Later I found out that I should have made application to have my dower set aside to me. I wish you would let m know whether or not I still can have my dower or must I look to the proceeds of the sale for the satisfaction of my dower interest that is coming to me? Answer You cannot have your dower in .the lands sold, but must look to the proceeds of the sale for your Interest. Council Meeting. K. Y. I would greatly appreciate if you would let me know whether a meeting of the city council held on a day other than that fixed for its regular meeting, although no call for a special meeting has been made, is a valid special meeting if all members of the council are pres ent and consent to such meeting?

"It's a fine time for a bob sled ride," she said. "When I was a girl we had sleighing parties all winter long." The girls thought over grand mother's suggestion and decided to give an up-to-date, old-fashiened sleighing party. First they went to the livery stable and hired a big bob sleigh with seats along both .sides. The livery man said they could have two teams of horses. The girls figured that by taxing each guest and securing a small do nation from their parents they could meet expenses. Three of the gills' mothers offered to furnish dough nuts, apples and cocoa. Everybody was warned to bundle Sale of Merchandise. D. H. P. 1 purchased some mer chandise which was speciflcially de scribed in the contract I found after the merchandise waa received that they were according to the de scription, but the quality was not what I expected. Can I sue for damages or return the goods be cause I was mistaken as to the qual ity of the goods purchased? In other worfc. does the seller impliedly war rant the quality of the goods sold where they have been described as I have related? Answers Unless there has been some fraud perpetrated, you cannot sue for damages or return the goods as you have purchased what your contract called for. ODD AND INTERESTING. Thirty Years Ago in Omaha. A rear-end collision occurred on the Belt line when a suburban train was crashed into by a freight. Several persons were' injured and one man killed. George E. Cheney of Creighton was here to attend the bankers' convention. The Webster-Brady company opened its engagement at the Grand by a dramatization of Haggard's "She." The I. O. O.

He was once an instructor of i deaf mutes. Ships built of steel are said to be able to carry about 20 per cent more carpo than those made of iron.

There are said to be 4S distinct diseases to which the human eye is liable. 'No other , or jtan of the hu man frame is subject to so many. The record number of roses pro duced by one tree at a time is 6,000. This remarkable number was borne by a tree on a rose-growing estate In Holland.

Sperm whales are the richest prtee of the ocean,, yielding spermaceti from the cavities in their heads, ivory from their lower- jaws, ami rich oil from the blubber covering their sides. In France, until the introduction of postage stamps and the rule of double postage for unpaid letters, it was considered ill-bred for one to prepay a letter addressed to a friend. It is at the sources of the Chlnd wen. or western branch of the Irra waddy river, that tbe famous amber and Jade mines are which have sup plied China with these much-prized stones for centuries.

It has been found in recovering cargoes of coal from sunken vessels that the combustion of coal is im proved by submergence In salt wa ter. Coal subjected to the action of sea water for a number of years will burn almost entirely away, leaving only a small amount of ash and no clinkers. Virtually all wages in England are baaed on piece work. In March the time rates for women weavera were fixed, starting at $3.89 for girls un der 15. up to ?7.79 for women over 51. The piece work rate was fixed so that a girl of average ability could Ret 20 per cent more than at time rat. . up In the warmest dr.ss to be found. They all met at one place and piled into the waitinff sleigh. The harness was covered wits sleigh bells so the tingling of the bells and the happy songs of the girls attracted the at tention of everyone. They rode into the country and back, and just a minute before they were all stiff with cold they were de posited, a bevy of rosy-cheeked girls, on Mable Lane's doorstep. Mable's mother received them and soon thawed them out with hot cocoa, fresh doughnuts and' juicy apples. The girls said that their sleigh ride was the best sport of the whole year. A Hay Rack Ride. Girls in warmer climates w here there is no snow will find it fun to rent a hay rack instead of a bob sled. They all wear broad brimmed hats and gingham aprons to, look like farmerettes, and one or two of the girls dress in overalls to play farmer. The girls plan refreshments to suit the time and place. A "wiener roast" is always fun if ar rangements can be made at some picnic for a fire. A hay rack ride can be the source of much merriment the amount of sport depending upon the ingenuity of the girls who lay the plans. Do not miss a sleigh ride this winter, you girls in the north, and don't for get the fun of a hay rack ride, you girls of the south, or you'll go down JUST IN JEST.

"These Supervisors either hire men to keep the roads in repair, or require each man in the township to work on the roads for a certain length of time each year.

Rather than re-hash the events of yesterday, let’s just say that there’s no more Sus-PENCE of whose side Mike Pence is on. Many of you have forgotten that he betrayed General Flynn in 2017. But you will never forget how he betrayed the American people yesterday. We probably should’ve realized how there is something very dark about this man when he debated Kamala Harris on national TV. Do you remember the pesky fly that kept landing on his perfectly styled white hair? Only twice before have we seen “The FLY” appear on the face of politicians. The first was on Obama. And the second was on Hillary. LOL! And we all know what flies are attracted to via their sense of smell. Despite all the garbage about violent rioters “Storming the Capitol,” the really sad part of yesterday is the realization that Big-Tech has truly taken over the media. Did you notice how they were labeled “Violent Rioters” and NOT Peaceful Protesters? No More Big-Tech Sus-Pence Big-Tech wasted no time flexing their Censorship Power by shutting down Trump’s Twitter account after he Tweeted: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” You should take this as a forewarning that: - The Big Tech/Propaganda Machine is just getting warmed up. - The Democrats are now openly drunk with power. - And they’ll move swiftly to pass more Draconian Laws to strip us of our Constitutional rights. - The battle-lines have been drawn in indelible ink. History will not be kind to Mike Pence…nor to the Supreme Court. Rightfully so. And the Globalists now think they’ve won. However, this will all backfire on them. Why? They’ve only strengthened the resolve of Trump supporters around the globe. Meanwhile, the stock market skyrocketed yesterday. But will it continue? And how will the markets behave after the inauguration? Be prepared and get ready to prosper AND thrive in Turbulent Times (HERE). And feel free to share this with a patriot friend. They’ll thank YOU later. And tell them, “It’s Not Just About Finance.” ***********************

RESEARCH Review of Related Literatures (RRL) In order to fully understand the situation of peace and violent extremism in the Philippines, one must first explore the different groups and historical events that contribute to a culture of violence upon Filipino land and shores. Below are the terms and explanations of Filipino phenomena that will be referenced all throughout the research and that are deemed important in comprehending peace and hindrances in achieving it in our country. Our country has seen multiple attempts by non-state actors to grab attention from the people and government to tend to their needs and wants. In order to understand how violence and violent extremism exist in the country, these groups have been categorized according to their nature: 1) armed insurgent and secessionist groups 2) terrorist groups, and 3) traditional and political clans who practice violence or “rido.” A Brief Introduction to the Different Perspectives on Radicalization and Violent Extremism: SOCIALIZATION THEORY - “highlights the influence of peer groups in a person’s life particularly in influencing their personality or behavior in contrast to the influence of parental figures in an individual’s life (Libretext, 2020).” - States that there are three processes that occur within one’s interaction with their peer group: 1 - evaluation (where they assess how they meet the needs of one another) - commitment, and - role transition or changes in the relationship of the individual and their peers. AGNEW'S REVISED GENERAL STRAIN THEORY - Establishes that one’s coping mechanism can push or pull an individual into criminal behavior. - Additionally, this revision heavily emphasizes that social class might not determine criminal behavior as previous theories might believe. Different strains vary within each person, and class does not single out the lower class. 2 INTEGRATIVE COMPLEXITY - The concept of “Integrative Complexity (IC)” is used to measure the levels of radicalization in an individual and their possible shift towards violent extremism. “A lower IC connotes the tendency for binary and categorical thinking. In a lower IC, the individual or groups in question are unable to consider and integrate various perspectives. A higher IC, meanwhile, shows the capacity of individuals and groups to recognize and integrate various views on a topic (Nemir & Savage, 2019).” - Lower IC could mean the inability to recognize the principles and values of others as valid. With higher IC, there is a higher change of peaceful resolutions towards conflict. 3 Radicalism and Violent Extremism: what's the difference? Radicalism is seen as the pursuit of change in one’s community and society. It aims to search for new ideas and methods that can alleviate or answer a certain systemic and structural issue that a group or individual may face. This can be seen in movements such as Pride Protests, the Bangsamoro people’s fight for recognition from the government, and petitions made by Indigenous Peoples to reclaim their land among others. Violent extremism, on the other hand, is understood as the practice of imposing one’s beliefs and ideologies onto others through violent and harmful means. In the history of our country, we have seen this manifesting as bombings, kidnappings, and killings. Even sharing the same thoughts or supporting these actions can be seen as violent extremist movements. The key difference between the two lies in how individuals or groups practice their beliefs. Take note: Violent extremism can stem from radicalism but radicalism does not necessarily turn into violent extremism! SURVEY RESULTS We found that the youth see the manifestations of violent extremism as: Suicide bombing Bombings of government buildings, Beheading of captives Kidnapping malls, churches among others /prisoners of war Raising funds for groups espousing Dissemination of publications that Harassment and intimidation violence against people on promote intolerance; of marginalized/ vulnerable sectors the basis of religion, race, among others distorted religious beliefs (farmers, fisherfolks, urban poor) WHO DID WE REACH OUT TO? Our survey was able to reach almost 200 people! While this was far from the numbers we aimed for, we have accepted that it was the best that we could do with the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our respondents were composed of Filipinos aged 15 to 30 years old who were at least at a senior high school level. We targeted those primarily residing in NCR, Davao City, Malawi City, and Zamboanga (although we were able to reach respondents from other regions). Additionally, the majority of respondents identified with Christian beliefs. Our key informants, on the other hand, were heavily experienced in peace-building projects and had enough insight on our target areas. We used their knowledge to verify the results of the survey as we could not visit the target areas ourselves. All in all, we tapped 14 professionals with the majority being 31 to 45 years old and who graduated from college at the very least. Sex of the respondents Educational attainment of survey respondent Geographical location of respondents Religion of the respondents

Rep. Roswell Hart Former Representative for New York’s 28th District Hart was the representative for New York’s 28th congressional district and was a Republican. He served from 1865 to 1867. Voting Record Missed Votes From Dec 1865 to Mar 1867, Hart missed 206 of 613 roll call votes, which is 33.6%. This is worse than the median of 25.1% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1867. The chart below reports missed votes over time. We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office. |Time Period||Votes Eligible||Missed Votes||Percent||Percentile| |Dec 1865-Feb 1866||105||19||18.1%||60th| |1866 Mar-May||142||62||43.7%||78th| |1866 Jun-Jul||142||37||26.1%||47th| |Dec 1866-Mar 1867||224||88||39.3%||82nd| Primary Sources The information on this page is originally sourced from a variety of materials, including: - unitedstates/congress-legislators, a community project gathering congressional information - United States Congressional Roll Call Voting Records, 1789-1990 by Howard L.

Nearly half his Truth Social posts are about how he's up by 20/30/50 points over DeSantis Approximately 50% of Trump's Truth Social posts are touting the results of some poll or another. This is why we NEVER give an inch on 2A NC is a swing state. Trump won it by like 1 point in '16 and again in '20. Florida NC Voter ID NC Felony Disenfranchisement NC Congressional Map Reddit is a woke censorious hellhole Trump really needs to distance himself from this "guy". I seriously don't understand why he's going so daggum soft on Transheiser Busch and Disney... Let the games begin. If Trump is the better nominee, I hope he wins. If DeSantis is the better nominee, I hope he wins. May the best man win. Yes, MAN. None of the women in the race, like Nikki Haley and Asa Hutchinson, should win. None of the other rights matter without 2A Love the sentiment but this isn't the real Bucees account Photo taken earlier today of the courtroom $120M damages to first plaintiff $55M damages to second plaintiff $54M damages to third plaintiff $28.8M damages to fourth plaintiff $57.6M damages to fifth plaintiff $73.6M damages to sixth plaintiff $81.6M damages to seventh plaintiff $52M damages to eighth plaintiff $48M damages to ninth plaintiff $66M damages to tenth plaintiff $57.6M damages to eleventh plaintiff $68.8M damages to twelfth plaintiff $90M damages to thirteenth plaintiff $76M damages to fourteenth plaintiff $36M damages to fifteenth plaintiff $965,000,000 total damage award. Nine hundred sixty five million dollars. Definitely guilty. The judge just sent the jury back to the deliberation room to correct a couple of clerical problems and noted that "I don't see any decimal points on your numbers" Meaning they've got numbers they're recommending for damages. Evidence please Regulate workplace safety at the state level. A bureaucrat who works in DC from Long Island doesn't have a single fucking clue how long the barbs on my barbed wire in Oklahoma should be. Augusto Pinochet has entered the chat Okay a few thoughts on the stream. I have enjoyed watching it. It's been overall very good commentary. However, as they've tried to find things to talk about, the commentary has really slipped. They seem to be saying three things which are both annoying and contradictory It is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that Kyle should be acquitted The Defense counsel has done THE WORST POSSIBLE JOB OMG THEY SUUUUCK WE'RE DOOOOOOOMED If WE had been his counsel, WE'D have put on a FLAWLESS defense It's really just become bitching about the specific wording of a specific point in the motion to dismiss after bitching all day about how defense counsel should've done this or that or whatever.... Good analysis most of the time, but that part's been annoying me. The jury deliberated in the George Zimmerman trial for 16 total hours and sent requests to the judge at least once for further instruction or clarification. That was for 1 count. They returned an acquittal verdict. Kyle Rittenhouse is on trial for 5 different criminal charges. It will take time. No source I've seen, and a LOT of people familiar with jury procedures saying that there is no reason to believe that a US Marshall (Poso's source) would know this They don't want YouTube to knock em down Yes, if the judge and jury agree that they should keep going, they will keep going. If one or the other decides they're done for the day, then they can recess and come back tomorrow. The Judge said to reporters that he's going to checkin with the Jury at 5pm local time (approx 57 mins from now) to see what they want to do. He indicated he'll let them go as late as they want or allow them to go home if they wish He'd ask his wife's boyfriend to check if it was unloaded

Victim Information Notification VINE is a free, secure, and confidential way to access custody status and criminal case information. Register for notifications and stay informed. Rockingham County Adult Diversion Program Alyson Mahler, Diversion Coordinator Email (603) 679-9394 The Rockingham County Adult Diversion Program is a pretrial program designed to divert individuals who have been charged with violation, misdemeanor and/or felony level offenses. Individuals, who are referred to, accepted into and successfully complete the Program avoid prosecution/ convictions, related fines and/or incarceration. The goal is to redirect offenders away from the criminal justice system and toward healthier choices through support, guidance and education. Mission Statement The Department’s prime goal is the operation of a safe and humane facility that provides a place of rehabilitation and offers programs and services that afford inmates the opportunities for a positive change. The Department of Corrections established, in accord with applicable statutes and regulations, a goal of ensuring public safety through the provision of professionally managed judgments of the state courts. The Department offers the widest practical range of correctional options, including institutionalization, community programs, and other similar sanctions that best serve the needs of society and the individual inmate, enhance the offender’s ability to return to the community and live in a law-abiding manner. The Department will administer its programs in an equitable manner in the least restrictive environment consistent with public safety. The Department operates its facilities under the principle that all administrative and management decisions either directly or indirectly affect the security and treatment goals of the facility. In that connection, facility staff can serve as an important and productive role model for inmates, conveying mainstream societal values to the inmate population. Opportunities for interaction between staff and inmate are expected to be conducted in a manner consistent with the objective of the facility. Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) What is PREA? The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) is a federal initiative to establish a nationwide standard of zero tolerance for incidences of inmate and offender sexual assault, sexual harassment and rape. Further, the legislation makes the prevention of inmate and offender sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct a top priority in penal institutions and under community supervision. The legislation also sets data collection and reporting standards that will be mandated once they are developed The Rockingham County Department of Corrections has a strict policy of “ZERO Tolerance” concerning instances of Sexual Abuse or Sexual Harassment, as such: - Under New Hampshire Law and the Department of Corrections policy, an inmate cannot legally consent to sexual contact with ANYONE while incarcerated. - An inmate can have NO sexual contact with another inmate, RCDC staff member, volunteer, contractor or vendor. - It is NEVER appropriate for RCDC staff, volunteers, contractors or vendors to make sexual advances or comments, or to engage in sexual contact with an inmate, including those persons under the supervision of Community Corrections. - No one will be retaliated against, in any way, for reporting any form of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Annual Reportings Programs & Services The Rockingham County Department of Corrections offers a wide variety of programs and services to incarcerated individuals. Our staff is inclusive of: – Director of Inmate Services and Programming – Mental Health Supervisor – Substance Use Counselor – Case Manager – Education and Program Facilitator – Chaplain Our clinical staff are a cumulation of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors, Master Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselors, and Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselors. – Solutions, Transitions And Recover (STAR) – Mental health counseling – Comprehensive case management and re-entry planning – High School Equivalency (HiSET) courses and testing. – Chapel and worship services – Inmate library Evidenced-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Programs: – Batterer’s Intervention – Trauma Group – Substance Use Treatment/ Relapse Prevention – Parenting Classes – Anger Management – Medication Assisted Treatment Additional Programming: – Peer Recovery Partnered with SOS Recovery – OSHA-10 – Resume Writing – Film and Literature – AA/NA – Yoga – Getting Ahead While Getting Out – SMART Recovery

Infamous bomb-throwing, right wing Republican Newt Gingrich is in town today to fundraise for Republican Governor Candidate Tom Emmer. The two might not be well acquainted with each other, but the fact is they are two peas in an extremist pod. Below are just a select few facts about what kind of Republican Tom Emmer is asking for help and guidance from. For details about Tom Emmer’s extreme record, visit: wwwTomEmmersMN.org GINGRICH IS A HYPOCRITE Gingrich Found Guilty, Fined $300,000 by Ethics Committee: The House Ethics Committee found Gingrich guilty of laundering donations through charities, submitting “inaccurate, incomplete, and unreliable” testimony, and making an effect for material to appear non-partisan but serve a partisan message. Gingrich was fined $300,000, the highest fine ever imposed on a Speaker of the House. [Esquire, 08/10/10] Gingrich Left Washington in Cloud of Controversy: A year after Gringrich was fined, Republicans lost five seats in the 1998 midterm elections, a sign that the American public disapproved of Gingrich and the Republican Party’s crusade to remove Clinton from office. Gingrich resigned as Speaker of the House only hours after his longtime friend Rep. Bob Livingston announced he would challenge Gingrich. [New York Times, 11/19/98; Washington Post, 11/07/98] Gingrich Doesn’t Practice “Family Values”: Though Gingrich frequently campaigned on family values issues, he cheated on his first wife, Jackie Battley. Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her one day after she had uterine cancer surgery and was still in the hospital, then married his mistress months after the divorce in 1981. [FOX News, 03/08/07; New York Times, 11/24/94] Gingrich Led Charge Against Clinton, During his Own Infidelity: While Gingrich led the 1998 charge against then-President Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he wasn’t telling people that Clinton wasn’t the only one seeing other women. At that time, Gingrich was cheating on his wife of 17 years, Marianne Ginther, with a former congressional aide 23 years his junior. [FOX News, 03/08/07] GINGRICH IS NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE WORKING PEOPLE Gingrich Opposes Unemployment Help: Gingrich criticized Obama as a “teenager with a credit card” for proposing a bill extending benefits for the unemployed. [CBS, 07/20/10] Gingrich Opposes the Employee Free Choice Act: Gingrich hired former Michigan GOP Chair Saul Anuzis to run a “nationwide New Media” campaign against EFCA, which would allow unions to win workplace certification through signed cards as well as secret ballots. [Washington Independent, 03/02/09] Gingrich Promotes Protecting the Rich. Gingrich believes letting Bush tax cuts for top earners expire would be a “disaster.” He called raising taxes on these high-income folks “frankly, crazy.” [ABC, 08/02/10] Gingrich Wants to Privatize Social Security, Get Rid of Medicare: Gingrich said he believes that any plan to partly privatize Social Security would help future retirees. About Medicare he said: “Now, we don’t get rid of it in round one because we don’t think that that’s politically smart, and we don’t think that’s the right way to go through a transition. But we believe it’s going to wither on the vine…” [The Tribune, September 10, 2010, New York Times, July 20, 1996] GINGRICH IS A RADICAL RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST Gingrich Endorses Extreme Candidates: Among the candidates Gingrich endorsed is Republican candidate for California Governor Meg Whitman, who supports Proposition 8 and wants to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act that requires the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2020. [Twitter, 05/25/10; San Diego Union Tribune, 09/24/09; Los Angeles Times, 02/11/09; Gingrich is also endorsing Carl Paladino, the extreme Tea Party candidate for New York Governor. Paladino has promised to “take a baseball bat to [the state capitol]” and is known for describing people as “degenerate idiot,” “Hitler,” and “Antichrist.” [NY Daily News, 09/24/10; New York Times, 09/16/10] Image via Wikipedia Gingrich Says Waterboarding isn’t Torture: In an interview with the Economist last year, Gingrich stated that waterboarding is not torture. When asked if any of the Bush administration’s approved interrogation tactics amounted to torture, Gingrich said, “No. As a British court noted, waterboarding is not torture. Waterboarding has been routinely used to train American pilots in the military to understand what interrogation techniques they might encounter.” [Economist, 05/30/09] Gingrich Calls Obama Administration and Democrats a “Nazi”-Like Threat: Gingrich has called President Obama “the most radical president in history.” In his book, Gingrich claims that the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats represent “as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.” [Think Progress, 05/28/10; NY Daily News, 09/24/10] Annete Meeks Learned from Gingrich: Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer’s running mate, Annette Meeks, is a former Gingrich staffer. Meeks served as his Chief of Staff while he was Speaker of the House.[MinnPost, 06/01/10; Metropolitan Council]

Abstract Policing involves state and nonstate agencies. In this article, we focus upon recent government-led efforts to engage the new realities of ‘pluralised’ or ‘nodal’ policing in Britain. Rather than focus on the content and rationale underlying these initiatives, we centre our commentary on the principal obstacles so far exhibited, and likely to persist, for achieving inclusive nodal policing approaches. We then highlight some strategies for overcoming these difficulties. |Original language||English| |Pages (from-to)||181-191| |Number of pages||11| |Journal||The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology| |Volume||38| |Issue number||2| |DOIs| |Publication status||Published - Aug 2005|

You might ask, what in the world are people thinking that causes them to engage in such mal-adaptive voting behavior? Humans have one brain but it can easily be explained as a number of separate brains that come into play to address different situations. Read poetry or do a math problem and the big thinking brain takes over. Hear gun shots and take cover and that is your animal brain taking over. There is no time or need to reason things out. The animal brain does no complex analysis. It just has you do what you are instinctively prone to do given the priority of survival. Voting and taking part in politics is a survival based activity so, the animal brain takes over and abstract thinking disappears. Abstract thought disappears and the animal brain takes charge. It is normal animal behavior that decisions that address survival are made by the herd leadership. Individual members of any herd, instinctively try and draw as much of their essence out of the group as a whole as is possible. Politics is an animal brain activity. We know this is true just by looking at political outcomes that consistently occur and realizing that no such typical political outcomes could occur if constituents used their thinking brains in making political decisions. The Affordable Care act relieves citizens of the burden deciding for themselves how to address their health care needs individually. It homogenizes both physicians and patients so that a central authority makes health care decisions for all. Medicine is practiced in such a way that a central authority manages the time and energy of doctors. The central healthcare, not doctors or patients determines what healthcare is provided, who gets paid how much and what the total cost is. Make no mistake that, although no one knows exactly who actually wrote the provisions of the bill, the originators of the Affordable Care Act used their thinking brain in ways that enrich themselves while putting the animal brained public at a serious disadvantage. Those who are effected by its provisions are using their animal brains when determining whether or not the bill is good or bad. The animal brain deems government as having magical knowledge and power. sentient argument as part of a public political discussion? Try and find one. All you will find are superficial arguments designed to get you on board with an agenda as fast, directly and quickly as is possible. It is all, Biden is good. Trump is good. Biden is bad. Conclusions are used as arguments. When the voting is over, the winner will be the one who convinces voters that their basic decisions in life are determined most effectively by the central authority of government. If the choice is Trump, voters are opting to replace the free market with something like the mercantile system that was popular prior to the American Revolution. Although this is complete folly, it addresses the instinctive sensibilities of his supporters. If it is Biden, his supporters believe government can give them personal credibility by forcing others to see them in a new positive light. Both sides will lose because Trump, Biden lobbyists and all others involved engage in larger brained thinking.The problems in the country today are due to the mal-adaptive mindset of the American Public.

Sexual harassment at work According to the International Labour Office (ILO), sexual harassment is a behaviour of a sexual nature that is unwelcome and offensive to its recipient. Sexual harassment may take two forms: - Quid pro quo or sexual blackmail, when a job benefit - such as a pay rise, a promotion, or even continued employment is made conditional on the victim acceding to demands to engage in some form of sexual behaviour. - Hostile working environment where the conditions are intimidating or humiliating for the victim. There are two dimensions of a hostile work environment: (1) unwelcomed sexual interest (e.g., commenting on sexuality or gender of other people; unwanted advances, gossiping about sexual life of others) and (2) gender-based harassment (e.g., intimidation of somebody or unfair treatment just because somebody is a woman, a man, or trans or gender non-conforming identified). You need to remember that it is the responsibility of the employer to provide work conditions that are free from sexual harassment. This means that both the perpetrator and the employer are responsible in the case of continuing humiliation or harassment at work. If the employer receives information about the suspected misconduct, he/she should take proper actions to investigate the situation and resolve the problem. In our experience, people are not always aware of what kind of behaviours are considered sexual harassment, thus we provide some examples below: - Physical form of harassment - - Unwelcome touching including pinching, patting, rubbing, purposefully brushing up against another person, hugging or kissing or any other form of physical contact. - Verbal forms of harassment - - Inappropriate invitations to go out on dates - Intrusive questions about your private life that offend you - Intrusive comments about your physical appearance that offend you - Making inappropriate sexual gestures - Telling lewd jokes, or sharing sexual anecdotes - Staring in a sexually suggestive or offensive manner, or whistling - Sexually suggestive comments or jokes that made you feel offended - Asking sexual questions, such as inquiries about your sexual history or your sexual orientation - Making offensive comments about someone's sexual orientation or gender identity - Non-verbal forms of harassment - - Inappropriate staring or leering that make you feel intimidated - Sending or showing you sexually explicit pictures, photos or gifts that offend you - Displaying inappropriate sexual images or posters in the workplace - Somebody indecently exposing themselves to you - Somebody making you watch or look at pornographic material against your wishes - Cyber-harassment - - Unwanted sexually explicit emails or text messages - Inappropriate advances that offended you through social networking websites such as Facebook, Instagram or in internet chat rooms. Research has shown that sexual harassment can lead to mood and anxiety disorders, decreased health fitness, problems with sleep and disturbances in intimate relationships. It can also negatively impact a person’s self-esteem, belief in a good and safe world, trust in people, memory, attention and thinking processes and may lead to suicidal behaviours. Sexual harassment also affects witnesses these unwelcome behaviours, who may feel stressed and hopeless. They may not intervene due to fear of being harmed themselves. If sexual harassment is not properly approached in the organisation, it may result in decreased productivity and quality of products and services, higher staff absence and turnover rates, low morale and decreased commitment and loyalty.

It has always occupied a block of inner-city suburbs, gradually expanding at successive redistributions at the population shifted to the suburbs. It has been a fairly safe Labor seat for much of its existence, althjough it has some strong Liberal area. Like all inner city areas, however, it is trending towards Labor. It has one of highest concentrations of professionally employed people of any Labor-held electorate, plus the low levels of families with dependent children and dwellings being purchased typical of inner city seats. In 2004 Labor won 71% of the two-party vote at Hindmarsh, and polled over 65% at Mile End, Kilburn, Renown Park and Croydon Park. The Liberals polled over 60% at Dulwich, Walkerville and Hyde Park. Recent members for Adelaide have included Chris Hurford, a minister in the Hawke government. Trish Worth (Liberal) was a Parliamentary Secretary from 1997 to 2004, but was defeated by Labor's Kate Ellis in 2004, a reflection of the general trend of inner city seats to Labor. Ellis is currently the youngest member of the House of Representatives and she has enjoyed a high profile since her election. Although the seat is still very marginal, in the current climate it is not regarded as seriously at risk for Labor. A local poll in late October had Ellis a long way in front (see below).

This is on PDF page 3: That number include seasonal hires. The report shows they worked 8,925 hours during the 2 week period. That means around 110 of the 869 are seasonal – if they work full time. Of course that means a lot of those job cuts have worked their way back on to the payroll, I estimate around 100. When the financial statements are finally issued we will have more details. They will be in no rush – the year end was April 30th. We will be lucky to see them in October.

Born in the horse-and-buggy days of 1900, my mother’s mama was a God-fearing and earthy soul. If she had something to say, Nanny didn’t hold back. Her fiery tongue could curl the bark on a chinaberry tree. My grandmother died in 1983, but she “lives” inside my head. I can hear her pontificating on a variety of subjects. I can imagine what she’d have to say about this toxic-coal-ash debacle, especially about the leaking ponds on Georgia Power properties scattered around the state. She’d say, “Well, the chickens are coming home to roost.” And to punctuate her words, she’d fork two fingers, press them to her lips and spew a stream of strawberry-snuff juice into a pillow of Kleenex stuffed in a Maxwell House coffee jar. Snuff juice is nasty. Coal ash is nasty and dangerous. To see how cavalier so many members of Georgia’s General Assembly have been about governing coal ash is enough to make a preacher cuss. For three years, I’ve watched a forthright few try to do the right thing, introducing new laws to protect Georgians and our environment. Time and time again, those measures were neutered or killed in the Natural Resources and Environment Committee of the House of Representatives. The longtime chair, Rep. Lynn Smith, appeared to listen to i industrial lobbyists more than considering what’s in the best interest of 10 million Georgians. Nothing seemed to move out of her committee unless two entities, the governor’s office and Georgia Power, applied stamps of approval. I join others in congratulating Gov. Nathan Deal. History will record him as one of our most successful governors. His accomplishments are obvious. So is his loyalty to our state’s largest utility. Should Gov. Deal and his longtime chief of staff, Chris Riley, become political consultants, don’t be surprised if Georgia Power is one of their prized clients. Just before the start of the 2019 Gold Dome session comes a not-so-surprising announcement. A press release from the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) read: “At least 10 of Georgia Power’s toxic, unlined coal-ash ponds sit dangerously close to the groundwater beneath them, according to the utility’s recent filings required under the federal Coal Combustion residuals rule.” Furthermore, SELC senior attorney Chris Bowers said, “Georgia Power’s coal-ash ponds were built in the worst possible places—near streams, lakes, floodplains, next to rivers and right above groundwater … we now know that at least 10 of its ponds sit too close to the groundwater aquifer.” Four of these ponds are along the Chattahoochee River at Plant Yates near Newnan, where Rep. Lynn Smith lives. You have heard me say this before: “Georgia Power is a tremendous asset of our state, and it’s a vital gear in our economic engine. I appreciate its important role, so I am not against Georgia Power. I am not against Rep. Smith, either. Instead, I am for responsible handling of toxic coal ash.” The issue has been suppressed for too long. Coal may have been our ticket to cheaper electricity, but now there’s the expense of cleaning up the mess. You don’t solve the coal-ash pollution problem by creating another problem. That’s what happens when you dump toxic coal ash on other communities such as Wayne County. For three years, we’ve observed Rep. Lynn Smith and her committee playing political footsie with lobbyists and downplaying the need for stronger toxic-coal-ash laws. Neighboring states are using our Peach State for a dumping ground. That ought to make you mad enough for your words to curl the bark on chinaberry trees. I wish no ill fortune or pollution on any community, but maybe there’s a lesson for Rep. Smith to be gleaned from what’s happening in Coweta County. We aren’t in her district, but Georgia’s natural resources and environment belong to all of us. Perhaps you’d like to reach out to . In the meantime, Nanny would say, “Honey, the chickens are coming home to roost.”

| | Not gonna lie: It could have gone better. But it could also have gone a lot worse. I'm happy with the process and results, despite some bumps. I'm happy to get a chance, however virtual, to see old comrades and meet some relatively new ones. We had about 32 delegates, representing eight Texas counties, show up at the Green Party of Texas's first-ever online convention. We also had a lurker to two. Among the best news that I can report is that personalities that have clashed at past state meetings remained not just civil but amicable to each other and the rest of the delegates. Highlights Final tallies have yet to be released, but here are some things we know: The List of Nominees This is a long way from the Occupy the Ballot era of 2012-14, when we could scare up about 50 candidates for various offices. The list below is large a rerun from previous entries; however, now that the Texas Green Convention has affirmed the statewide candidates, it's worth presenting them again. Counties of residence are in parentheses, and an asterisk (*) indicates that a candidate paid the state filing fee to run. Statewide US Senate: David B. Collins (Harris) State Supreme Court, Position 1: Charles Waterbury (Dallas) Railroad Commission: katija gruene (Travis) US House Tom Wakely (Bexar), CD-21 * Hal J. Ridley, Jr. (Orange), CD-36 Texas Legislature Julián Villarreal (Bexar), SD-26 katija gruene (Travis), HD-51 * Brody-Andrew Mulligan (Tarrant), HD-92 Antonio Padrón (Bexar), HD-119 Mulligan is not only raising money for his campaign, he's spending some too: He just bought yard signs. Speed Humps Disappointments Not everyone will emerge from this convention completely happy with the way things went. There was some awkwardness in discussing some resolutions (proportional to the awkwardness of the wording of the resolutions themselves) that might leave a bitter taste in the mouths of those who proposed them. It didn't help that we squeezed what could turn into an all-day affair into a 45-minute agenda item. To my way of thinking, resolutions are low-priority items by default, unless they address an item of immediate concern or propose massive changes in The Way We Do Things. Given that literally hundreds of alienated Texas Berniecrats have been knocking on the Green door, I am earnestly looking forward to more of these—preferably in person because I look old af in my Zoom box. | | Blogging Sporadically since 2014 Here you will find political campaign-related entries, as well as some about my literature, Houston underground arts, peace & justice, urban cycling, soccer, alt-religion, and other topics.

The election is less than a week away, but there's already one victory we can declare: Trump has won the phishing battle. Avanan researchers analyzed phishing emails surrounding the election and politics over the last month and the results, unlike this year's election, are quite clear: The numbers: - Trump: 79% - Biden: 21% (And no, this isn't an Electoral College prediction.) We don't think there's a correlation between electoral votes and phishing messages. But one thing is clear: This will be a victory that won't take days or weeks to sort through.

Every law student must spend some time studying FCC v. Pacifica Foundation, 438 U.S. 726 (1978), during their constitutional law course(s). This is usually the point where one will go into the difference between "indecent" and "obscene", and why different legal standards apply to each (see Miller v. California), and how the Court found that Carlin's routine (entitled "Dirty Words", FWIW) was "indecent" and not "obscene". The practical upshot of this is that you can say the "seven words you can't say on television", so long as they're on cable, or satellite, or broadcast between 2200 and 0600 local time. -GAWollman More information about the Boston-Radio-Interest mailing list

Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ended the 2020 election with a 222-213 majority (currently 219-211 with recent vacancies), and her slim 5-vote margin has tempted her to consider the legal but very dangerous act of removing an (certified) elected and provisionally-seated Republican congresswoman from Iowa who had won her seat in 2020 by less than 10 votes. It was the closest congressional contest in last year’s cycle, and the losing candidate, Democrat Rita Hart, quickly challenged the result, contending some ballots for her had been excluded from the count. However, instead of following the proscribed challenge process in Iowa, Ms. Hart ended the process prematurely, saying she would take her case to the U.S.. house where her party held the majority. As a result, the Iowa secretary of state duly certified her Republican opponent, Marianette Miller-Meeks, as the winner, and she then was sworn in. The U.S. constitution says that the U.S. house has the right to determine who will be its members, but this right to override a state district election (presumably with cause) was rarely used initially until the mid-19th century when house majorities of both parties routinely ignored the results of many close elections, denying the winner of the opposition and seating their own candidate. By the early 20th century this obvious political abuse of the framers of the constitution intention became rare. It was last used in 1984 when the Democrats held a large house majority. Indeed, if Speaker Pelosi had a comfortable majority, she almost certainly would not even consider overturning this election, and giving Republicans so much political ammunition for 2022. Furthermore, her effort would would probably be short-lived because the Democrat would likely lose the next election. Longer-term she would also be giving future Republican house majorities justification to refuse to seat Democrats who won close elections, and even restart the unfortunate mid-19th century practice. It doesn’t seem to make much political sense. At least four house Democrats are on record saying they oppose the move (it would make a powerful opposition ad anywhere in the nation). But Mrs, Pelosi is very skillful with her caucus, albeit one that is often divided. If she does it, it would be what William Safire calls a “power grab” in his famed Political Dictionary (2006 edition). [I can’t help but note Safire's own definitions are always accompanied by someone else’s usage of the term, In the case of “power grab,” it is the title of a 2006 op ed in The Washington Times. That title was “Nancy Pelosi’s Power Grab” --- it was a column about an action she took when she first became speaker fifteen years ago. The author of that op ed?

SAVANNAH GUTHRIE (HOST): While we're denouncing, let me ask you about QAnon. It is this theory that Democrats are a Satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior of that. Now, can you just once and for all state that that is completely not true and disavow QAnon in its entirety? DONALD TRUMP: So, I know -- I know nothing about QAnon. GUTHRIE: I just told you. TRUMP: I know very little. You told me, but what you tell me doesn't necessarily make it fact, I hate to say that. I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia. They fight it very hard but I know nothing about it. GUTHRIE: They believe that it's a satanic cult run by the deep state. TRUMP: If you'd like me to study the subject -- I'll tell you what I do know about. I know about Antifa and I know about the radical left and I know how violent they are and how vicious they are, and I know how they are burning down cities run by Democrats, not run by Republicans. GUTHRIE: Republican Senator Ben Sasse said, quote, "QAnon is nuts and real leaders call conspiracy theories conspiracy theories." TRUMP: He may be right. Can I be honest? GUTHRIE: Why not just say it's crazy and not true? TRUMP: He may be right. I just don't know about QAnon. GUTHRIE: You do know. TRUMP: I don't know. No, I don't know. I don't know. GUTHRIE: Let me ask you another thing -- TRUMP: You tell me all about it, let's waste the whole show. You start off with white supremacy. I denounce it. You start off with something else. Let's go. Keep asking me these questions. GUTHRIE: Okay, I do have one more. TRUMP: But let me just -- let me just tell you what I do hear about it is they are very strongly against pedophilia and I agree with that. I mean, I do agree with that. And I agree with it very strongly. GUTHRIE: Okay, but there's not a satanic pedophile cult being run by -- TRUMP: I have no idea. I know nothing about it. GUTHRIE: You don't know that? Okay.

Boris Kodjoe: “The election of Barack Obama in 2008 is the most significant experience in Black History in the last 10 years.” Nicole Ari Parker: “He set the foundation for having a Black man in office.” President Barack Obama is clearly one of Black History’s biggest crowning moments in the last ten years. His initial election as the 44th President of the United States changed the game. It created a level of possibility for kids of color to dream bigger than being the next big rapper, reality show star or the like. To be completely honest, President Obama’s cathartic election redefined Black America and gave us hope for something that wasn’t likely two years prior. He welcomed change, progress and hope.

This was caused by the surge in the Alliance vote which increased by 65% taking seats in Bangor West and Holywood and Clandeboye. Equally impressive was the performance of the Green Party which more than doubled its percentage of the vote. The fall in the DUP vote in Bangor area was relatively small but the party also suffered from the fact that it was not transfer friendly and received few transfers from other parties and Independents. There was a feeling on the doorsteps that the Bangor DUP councillors did not stand up for Bangor and that Ards seemed to get everything.

It’s inevitable! In every election, there’s one side that downplays the other’s ability to make a difference…to vote! That may be purely in words, like ads or articles about how one side will turn out more than the other, or it may be in actual voter suppression legal hurdles like requiring an ID. In every instance, the words and the acts emphasize the importance of your vote. Every vote counts in the message it sends; in the way we tell one side or the other that their tactics worked. What message do you want to send? Do you want to promote voter suppression? Then don’t vote. Let the bad players know their tactics worked! But if you want your voice heard…if you’re tired of the ads and voter suppression, then your path is clear:

From a 60 Minutes interview with Obama and Biden: “But you tried really hard to reach these people,” [Steve] Kroft pressed. “You went and sipped beer, which I know you don’t particularly like — I mean you even…” “Steve, I had a beer last night,” Obama interjected. “I mean, where do these stories come from, man?” “I’m the one… [that] doesn’t drink,” Biden added. “Where does the story come from that…I don’t like beer?” Obama asked. “C’mon, man.” He probably had a Stella Artois.

A key finding from these reviews is that children and young people in residential care are more likely than other children and young people to have contact with police and the criminal justice system. The framework outlines 8 Guiding Principles as well as a decision-making guide for when to call police. The first stage to respond to behaviours of concern is proactive prevention. As part of proactive prevention each young person in care must have a positive behaviour support plan.

Thank you for visiting] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Although the smoke has not yet lifted from the two major party conventions in Minnesota, one matter is clear: the traditional parties are closer to irrelevance in 2018. Each party endorsed a candidate for governor, but endorsement is only a recommendation to primary voters in August when the formal nomination is decided. In the past, endorsements usually led to nomination, but this has, in some recent cycles, often not been the case. Republicans endorsed their previous (2014) nominee, Jeff Johnson, who lost the general election. It took him three ballots this time to defeat little-known opponents, and now he must face a much-better known opponent, former two-term Governor Tim Pawlenty, in the primary. Pawlenty not only has raised much more money, he is one of the best communicators in recent state politics. Democrats (DFL) endorsed a St. Paul legislator, Erin Murphy, in an upset over retiring 1st district Congressman Tim Walz, a rural candidate DFL insiders felt would have broad appeal in November. Walz will now oppose Murphy in the August primary. But he won’t be Murphy’s only major DFL opponent. DFL Attorney General Lori Swanson failed to be endorsed on her first ballot at the DFL convention, and abruptly withdrew from the race. Three days later, after teaming up with retiring DFL 8th district Congressman Rick Nolan as her running mate, she filed for governor. Having run successfully three times statewide, Swanson could win the primary. In any event, all three major DFL gubernatorial campaigns will now have to raise and spend a lot of money in the primary --- a contest that will inevitably be bitter between the candidates. The general election is only two months later. Pre-convention, most observers thought that Walz, as the likely strongest DFL nominee, would be endorsed and then coast to the November election with no intraparty problems and a big campaign fund balance. This has evaporated. To make matters even more complicated for the DFL, 5th district DFL Congressman Keith Ellison announced his retirement from Congress and filed to run for state attorney general against the DFL endorsee, a little-known attorney who had defeated Swanson at the state convention. Former Attorney General Mike Hatch, a close advisor to Lori Swanson, also filed for attorney general, as did several other DFLers. Hatch lost a 2006 race for governor against Pawlenty. Ellison has won re-election easily in his ultraliberal district (Minneapolis), and is the controversial vice chair of the national Democratic Party. He is well-known for his radical, and often unpopular, views throughout the state, but he could win the multi-candidate primary. The likely GOP attorney general nominee, Doug Wardlow, could now win this race. Republicans have not held this office since 1971. Many Republicans are eager for Ellison to win the DFL primary, and to make his radical left views a major issue in November, not only in his race, but all the statewide races as they ask all DFL candidates if they agree with the 5th district congressman’s controversial views. The DFL will keep Ellison’s 5th district seat, but now much money and distraction will be spent by DFLers seeking to be his successor. A large number of candidates have filed to run for this seat. The most well-known is former DFL Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher, but Minneapolis voters have, as their 2017 municipal elections indicated, moved sharply to the left, and the primary result in this race is yet unknown. Republicans were poised to possibly pick up two U.S. house seats elsewhere in the state, and DFLers felt they could pick up one or two from the GOP, but the chaos in the DFL now would seem to help Republican candidates outside the Twin Cities. DFL Senator Amy Klobuchar re-election is safe in any event, but a second U.S. senate race with appointed DFL Senator Tina Smith (she replaced Al Frnnken who resigned) now becomes even more competitive as the cancelled August recess in Washington, DC makes it difficult for her to campaign back home in Minnesota where she is not well-known. To be fair, both parties have divisions and factions, and both party organizations are big losers as a result of the convention endorsements. Only a tiny number of activists (less than 1% of eligible party voters) participate in the endorsement process. The ability of the DFL and GOP to raise money for the rest of the 2018 campaign is severely diminished, as most donors, large and small, will give their money now to the individual campaigns they support. Furthermore, since the two party organizations (especially the DFL) will now campaign for their endorsed candidates who might well lose in the primary election, their political credibility is likely to be severely reduced in November. Others have observed the general decline of the political parties across the nation. But perhaps nowhere has this decline happened so dramatically as it just has in Minnesota. The DFL particularly has been the solid backbone of liberal voters in this state for decades. With their factions, liberal and radical, now at each other’s political throats in 2018, however, all bets are off. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyrght (c) 2018 by Barry Casselman.

I was more concerned about much simpler things. There are some computer systems and applications where time has a central role. Some of those applications must interface with real people, both on input and on output, and real people (even technicians) are not familiar with time_t, GMT or UTC. The user may input time and not have the expected action happen at the expected time because of bad assumptions about DST (assuming no DST at all among those assumptions). Many applications also have design problems that become evident when crossing DST start/end borders, regardless of when time shifts actually happen -- even standard UNIX date(1) is DST unfriendly. Another problem is that tz repository was only updated (2002d) _after_ DST begun for users of 2002c(timestamp for ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata_2002d.tar.gz is 2002/10/15, while DST started at 2002/10/13 03:00:00 GMT for tzdata 2002c), because of a rule that should have been applied only last year. This fault, however, is not solely TZ people's; related information simply wasn't where people expected it to be (Brazilian National Observatory's (ON) web site was the traditional source, but elsie.nci.nih.gov was also outdated). Only by digging the web could I find the information I wanted, just a couple of days before brazilian clocks would get wrong time. -- Pappires ...

The following article, The Numbers Are In: Trump-Tucker Team Up to Beat Fox News in Viewership Battle, was first published on . By Rachel M. Emmanuel, It’s not the mind-blowing destruction of corporate media that many have painted it to be, but Tucker Carlson notched a solid victory over his former employer on Wednesday. Fox News, which fired Carlson in April, hosted the first Republican presidential debate of the 2024 campaign Wednesday night in Milwaukee. The GOP front-runner, former President Donald Trump, skipped the event, citing his large lead in the polls. Eight of the other candidates took the stage at the Fiserv Forum to try to make their case to Republican voters, with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum moderating. According to Neilsen, the debate brought in 12.8 million total viewers, Mediaite reported Thursday. — Martha MacCallum (@marthamaccallum) August 24, 2023 This figure might initially appear impressive for a GOP debate without the party’s No. 1 figure. However, it fell short of the viewership achieved by Trump himself the same night. The former president sat for an interview with Carlson that was posted to the social media platform X just before the debate. Ep. 19 Debate Night with Donald J Trump pic.twitter.com/ayPfII48CO — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) August 24, 2023 As of Thursday, the episode of “Tucker on X” with Trump had 14.8 million views, according to Mashable — topping the debate viewership by 2 million. While undercutting the network that fired him gave Carlson plenty to smile about, his interview with the former president didn’t draw more viewers than any TV show in history — despite such claims on social media. Mashable noted that “many people believe, falsely, that the video of Carlson’s Trump interview received 220 million views more than it actually received.” “The video itself was actually played only 14.8 million times, for at least two seconds of the more than 46-minute interview — or just over six percent of the total 236 million times someone saw the post on X,” the outlet said. 200M views. Tucker vs. Trump is easily the most watched interview in history. Broadcast with no ad breaks, no corporate filter & no censorship. Just raw, fascinating insight & honesty that users devour. X is Breaking the media landscape —forever. — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) August 24, 2023 BREAKING: Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson breaks the internet history by having the greatest content viewership in history. Donald Trump show has nearly 100 million views in under 3 hours since airing on Tucker Carlson show on X. pic.twitter.com/EnRm2KT9tX — George Njoroge (@georgenjoroge_) August 24, 2023 Tucker & Trump interview on X has eclipsed 200M views plus massive clipping audience. The primary debate on Fox News had around 20M tune in. 10X the views for Trump. The media landscape is forever changed. pic.twitter.com/hEsXsDbKvn — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) August 24, 2023 Fox News debate: 12.8M viewers Tucker/Trump: 238M views Corporate media is dead pic.twitter.com/03cPOJwBkw — TheBlaze (@theblaze) August 24, 2023 Though not quite as epic as that, Carlson’s viewership victory over the company that fired him can’t be dismissed. Fox News was the go-to for conservatives for almost three decades because it provided them with content and opinions that were relevant to them as traditional news networks took a sharp left turn in the 1990s. But the landscape has shifted again. Conservative-oriented online shows are now stepping in to offer content that often doesn’t find its place on network TV due to bans, and Fox News appears to be gradually deviating from its foundational conservative principles. This could perhaps explain why Fox reportedly chose to limit the reuse of debate content by other platforms. Fox News is telling everyone in media not directly affiliated with them that the August 23rd Republican debate is exclusively theirs and no one is allowed to air any clips of the broadcast beyond three total minutes, and never again after a 7 day window. In other words, they’re… pic.twitter.com/KQ3r1ohqFW — Chris Stigall (@ChrisStigall) August 10, 2023 It’s desperately trying to hold on to its audience — and its relevance. But that train might have already left the station. This article appeared originally on The Western Journal.

ATRA's group's analysis shows the version circulated to voters would deprive K-12 education of millions of dollars a year after the 1 cent per dollar tax collected more than $1.1 billion in any given year. Sales Tax The Arizona Republic Monday, June 25, 2012 Arizona Daily Star Monday, June 25, 2012 McCarthy said the paper version — the one the Secretary of State’s Office has posted online — gives more to education than the version actually circulated, which diverts more for construction projects. That difference of who benefits, he said, amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars a year The Arizona Republic Thursday, June 21, 2012 That omission makes a "very substantive" difference, said Kevin McCarthy, executive director of the Arizona Tax Research Association. "It's nowhere close to a minor change," he said. East Valley Tribune Wednesday, June 20, 2012 Kevin McCarthy, executive director of the Arizona Tax Research Association, which opposes the initiative, found the flaw and called it to Bennett’s attention. Arizona Capitol Times Tuesday, June 19, 2012 McCarthy said ATRA staff did spot checks of petitions being circulated, and all four they came across were using ballot language from the Quality Education and Jobs website, not the Secretary of State’s Office. Bloomberg Business Week Thursday, June 7, 2012 Because of the simplification mandate and brick-and-mortar retailers' complaints about no-tax competition from Amazon, "it's going to have to come up," agreed Kevin McCarthy, a task force member and head of a business-backed taxpayer advocacy group. The Arizona Republic Saturday, June 2, 2012 Gov. Jan Brewer this week named a dozen people to a task force that will figure out how to make Arizona's sales-tax code simpler both for those paying it and those collecting it. The governor created the task force last month with an executive order, saying the state's sales tax is overly complex to administer. But it's also a crucial part of state operations; about half of Arizona's operating dollars comes from the tax. Arizona Republic Thursday, April 12, 2012 Kevin McCarthy, president of the Arizona Tax Research Association, said the study's findings aren't surprising. "Arizona historically has rated high for sales-tax collections," he said. Evening Observer Wednesday, March 14, 2012 "(Arizona lawmakers) have a tendency to lean toward the sales tax because they view that to be the least offensive," Kevin McCarthy, president of the Arizona Tax Research Association Cronkite News Friday, February 17, 2012 “We’ve always been heavily reliant on sales taxes,” said Kevin McCarthy, president of the Arizona Tax Research Association. “Different states might rely more on other taxes

Social Policy & Programs Consulting Training and Services for agencies working toward social and economic justice Patricia A. O'Malley Social Policy & Programs Consulting ~ Community Matters P.O. Box 97803 ~ Pittsburgh, PA 15227 ~ 412-310-4886 ~ info@patomalley-consulting.com Copyright Patricia A. O'Malley ~ All rights reserved Established 1993 March for Our Lives Hits It Out of the Park Abolish the NRA, not the Second Amendment March 28, 2018 On Saturday, I joined 30,000 people in the local March for Our Lives in downtown Pittsburgh. I’ve been participating in demonstrations/marches/protests – on myriad social justice issues in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Washington DC – for nearly 40 years. This was one of the biggest, most moving, most powerful of all. It was certainly the biggest in Pittsburgh. About half of the crowd were young people, mostly high school and college students, along with younger children and quite a few strollers. Many of the rest appeared to be their parents and other allies. The rest of us were gray-haired protest veterans. The event followed the usual format – gathering at the City-County Building on Grant Street, opening remarks, marching via Grant Street and Fifth Avenue to Market Square, more speeches, chants, cheers. Voter registration was available, along with information for CeaseFirePA, Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and Sandy Hook Promise. At the beginning of the march, I met a man, Silvano Gallego, who immigrated to the US from Columbia twenty years ago. He said he always wanted to attend a public demonstration but was hesitant to do so. But he loved this one. He said “This is what’s good about America. You couldn’t do this in Russia.” I agree. The politicians present, most of whom spoke, included Mayor Bill Peduto, Congressman Mike Doyle, Congressman-elect Conor Lamb, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, State Senators Jay Costa and Wayne Fontana, State Reps. Ed Gainey and Dan Frankel, and City Controller Michael Lamb. Every speaker agreed that “thoughts and prayers” don’t cut it. We need real action. We need to work with the sensible members of the NRA to make the change we want. If our representatives in Washington and Harrisburg aren’t willing to change, then we must change them. Voting is absolutely essential. For the record, the students, here and in all of the cities, did a tremendous job of organizing the day. Their parents can be very proud. I look forward to much more from them. WHAT DO THEY WANT? Despite what the NRA and the gun goons would have you believe, no one wants to repeal the Second Amendment. No one wants to take your guns. Every organization wants only to make our lives safer. They want common sense gun laws. And they want to replace legislators who refuse to pass them. And yes, I have read the mission statements of every one of the organizations listed in this article. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION The NRA is the biggest opponent to sensible gun laws. It was founded in 1871 to represent the interests of gun owners and provides many legitimate services for its members. But the NRA is not an advocate for gun rights. It does not represent the interests of gun owners. It represents gun companies. The companies make money when people buy guns. Every restriction on gun ownership means fewer gun sales. That's why they won't quit. It's all about the money. They’re sacrificing children for MONEY. And they don’t feel badly about it because they are immoral. For eight years, they convinced millions of Americans that Barack Obama and “the government” are coming for your guns by creating FEAR. And they sold millions of guns. There was even a shortage of ammunition. That makes them a terrorist organization. Now that Obama's gone, gun sales have plummeted. If I hear one more time that the gun violence debate must stop being political I'm going to lose my mind. The problem is political. Therefore, the solution is political. The NRA buys POLITICIANS. They don't buy plumbers. Wayne LaPierre and his disciples have been slandering, libeling, and defaming the MFOL organizers. I won’t repeat their lies here. I won’t give them any traction. But if their cause was honorable, they wouldn’t need to spread lies. That’s why we must eradicate the NRA. And the gun sense movement isn’t saying that. I am. The many decent, rational NRA members need a new organization to represent them. If anyone wants to get one started, I’ll be happy to help. THE SECOND AMENDMENT The Second Amendment is an anchor around the neck of this country. It is literally killing people We can keep its premise, but we must modify it. It won’t be easy. It will take time. But it must be done. For More Information National March for Our Lives Pittsburgh March for Our Lives Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence CeaseFirePA Everytown for Gun Safety Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America Sandy Hook Promise Gun Violence, the Second Amendment, and Common Sense The Second Amendment, Mental Illness, and Other Observations on the Tucson Tragedy
