Some Donald Trump supporters attending the Republican presidential candidate’s rally in Las Vegas on the eve of the next GOP debate treated protesters with unusual hatred Monday night. Trump was interrupted several times by Black Lives Matter protesters, prompting a furious reaction from the crowd. Some screamed, pointed, and at one point shoved a heckler as hotel security swooped in to remove them. As one man was dragged away, Trump supporters variously yelled, “Shoot him!” “Kick his ass,” and “Light the motherf—-r on fire!” A large middle aged man shouted, “Sieg heil!” — a Nazi Germany-era salute — as the protester… - The Man Who Thinks He Can Live Forever - Why We Can't Get Over the Roman Empire - The Final Season of Netflix’s Sex Education Sends Off a Beloved Cast in Style - How Russia Is Recruiting Cubans to Fight in Ukraine - The Case for Mediocrity - Paul Hollywood Answers All of Your Questions About The Great British Baking Show - How Canada and India's Relationship Crumbled - Want Weekly Recs on What to Watch, Read, and More?

Daily migrant encounters at southern border down since end of Title 42, DHS says (CNN) - The number of daily migrant encounters on the U.S. southern border have been low since Title 42 ended. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Border Patrol saw about 3,400 migrants a day since May 12. That’s much fewer than the 10,000 daily encounters before Title 42 lifted. The pandemic-era policy allowed U.S. officials to quickly turn migrants away at the border. Officials caution that migration flow can change and that they are ready to adjust where needed.

INTRODUCTION JARED: Welcome to our Passover Seder. The history of the Jewish people reaches back nearly 4000 years— IVANKA: Wait, we’re holding the Seder with just the two of us? JARED: In times of great adversity, Jews find comfort in their traditions. (He lights the candles.) As we say the blessing over the candles, this Passover we give thanks to Mitch McConnell for keeping your father in office, and to the coronavirus— IVANKA: Wait, what? JARED: To stop the pandemic, your father tapped me to mobilize the private sector, so I tapped my brother Josh and his insurance company Oscar Health. I told Josh to copy and paste the CDC’s evaluation questions onto his website. Here’s the beautiful part: once people start taking his online survey, Oscar Health will soon be able to bill the federal government for “virus evaluation.” IVANKA: Wow, and I thought Josh was the smart one because he got into Harvard on his own, but that’s genius, Jared. JARED: Thank you. I came up with the idea between brokering Middle East Peace, solving the opioid crisis, and googling about ventilators. IVANKA: How do we benefit, though? JARED: I don’t want to discuss the intricacies of corporate holding companies on Passover. It’s time for the blessing over the wine. (Holds up a cup of wine.) This wine, provided by Eric Trump Winery, symbolizes the sweetness of unfettered power and influence. IVANKA: Amen. PARSLEY JARED: (Holds up a sprig of parsley.) The parsley on our Seder plate represents spring and the earth’s natural bounty. Speaking of which, would you like to take a walk later and check out the cherry blossoms on the National Mall? It’s closed to the public but no one will stop us. IVANKA: … JARED: I mean, we’re quarantined in the same house, yet I never see you. IVANKA: I’m social distancing. JARED: We dip the parsley into salt water representing the tears of a man who only wishes to spend some quality time with his wife. IVANKA: (Rolls eyes) I’ve had my hands full staging Instagram photos with three kids and no nanny. MATZAH IVANKA: (Breaks a piece of matzah and holds it up.) This matzah is the bread of affliction. Though afflicted by relentless insults on Twitter, we thank God for the millions we’ve earned since becoming senior White House advisors. It is enough — Dayenu. THE FOUR QUESTIONS JARED: Have I read enough articles on WebMD about coronavirus to call myself an expert? IVANKA: How much longer before I can flood the Chinese market with Ivanka Trump fashions? JARED: Will I ever become Ambassador to Israel? IVANKA: Where does it actually say a President’s job is to solve a national health crisis? THE FOUR CHILDREN JARED: The Torah instructs us to teach our children the story of Passover. Where are the children anyway? IVANKA: I’m making the nanny help them find the afikoman over Zoom. No reason she can’t pitch in just because we fired her. JARED: It’s not too late to have another baby, you know. IVANKA: … JARED: You know, having four children is very biblical. IVANKA: … MIRIAM’S CUP JARED: A cup of water is placed on the table to honor the prophet Miriam. We embrace this modern Passover tradition as passionate supporters of women. And I am the most passionate supporter of the most beautiful woman in the world. (He reveals a previously hidden cup.) Behold the “The Ivanka Cup.” Nothing says, “Let’s have another baby” like a diamond-encrusted 14K-gold kiddush cup. IVANKA: I’m having my third cup of wine now. THE PASSOVER STORY JARED: Now it’s time to retell the story of Passover. A Pharaoh came to power in Egypt who feared the Jews— IVANKA: Can’t we skip this part? Jews in slavery, plagues, blah, blah, they hang out in the desert, eat flatbread, and go swimming in the Red Sea. Sounds like Coachella. JARED: I’ve never attended. I know this quarantine has been hard on you, living without housekeepers and daily massages, but you’ve got to stay strong, Ivanka. You’re like a modern-day Anne Frank. IVANKA: Maybe I should start a blog? JARED: Maybe we should go to our doomsday bunker in New Zealand? The architect just emailed that the indoor pool is complete. IVANKA: I can’t leave the country in the middle of a pandemic. America’s working moms depend on me to boost their spirits. #TogetherApart #ImJustLikeYou EXPLANATION OF PASSOVER SYMBOLS SHANK BONE IVANKA: (Holds the shank bone limply.) The shank bone represents the sacrificial lamb Jews slaughtered the night they left Egypt. This Passover we engrave the shank bone with BIDEN. JARED: Sometimes I think you don’t take your Judaism seriously. IVANKA: What about your Judaism? Tell me, which plagues are the residents of your housing projects suffering under this Passover? Flies? Lice? Roaches? JARED: All of a sudden you’re a champion of the downtrodden? IVANKA: Oh, look: it’s wine time again. (She downs a full glass.) BITTER HERBS IVANKA: (Waves the bitter herbs in his face.) These bitter herbs represent the bitterness of a man whose wife has higher favorability ratings. CHAROSET JARED: This is charoset, a delicious Passover favorite that balances the bitterness of the maror. It’s made with apples, honey, and a dose of hydroxychloroquine. I got extra to balance your father’s bitterness over everyone liking Cuomo more than him. ROASTED EGG (JARED stares into space, as if he were deep in thought. IVANKA scrolls through Instagram.) JARED: Can we not argue on Passover. We’re both fighting for the same things: wealth and privilege. (He holds up the egg.) Let this roasted egg symbolize the rebirth of our nation… and perhaps our relationship? (IVANKA likes an old Instagram photo of her brothers smiling next to a dead elephant they hunted.) WELCOMING ELIJAH IVANKA: OK, whatever, you’re right. Let us welcome the prophet Elijah who will lead the way for peace in the world and between us. JARED: Where’s Elijah’s cup? IVANKA: Christ, are you really going to insist on dirtying an extra glass? It’s expensive enough as it is to FedEx our dirty dishes to the housekeeper without adding more. CONCLUSION JARED: As we conclude our Seder, we remember life is a mixture of bitter and sweet. People will likely die due to my incompetence, but the bitterness of death is countered by the sweetness of controlling the nation’s stockpile of medical supplies. This year we are here; next year in Jerusalem. Or New Zealand.

The three Democratic candidates for president met in Des Moines on Saturday night for their second debate. The CBS debate was originally going to focus on the economy but shifted gears after the attacks in Paris on Friday. Christopher Isham, CBS News vice president and Washington bureau chief said, "Last night's attacks are a tragic example of the kinds of challenges American presidents face in today's world, and we intend to ask the candidates how they would confront the evolving threat of terrorism."

Earlier today Democrat Sen. Pat Leahy said he’s “never seen anything like” the unfair treatment some Republican senators are giving to President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Leahy obviously either slept through or doesn’t remember the smear circus that the Democrats put on during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing. Leahy will no doubt also consider Sen. Ted Cruz’s questioning for Judge Jackson to be completely out of line, because the Texas senator was trying to make heads or tails out of her unwillingness to define “woman”: CRUZ: "I think you're the only Supreme Court nominee in history who has been unable to answer the question: What is a woman?" pic.twitter.com/mvoSTEtEaj — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) March 23, 2022 Wow, she did not want to even come close to going there.

As news of the Supreme Court's probable overturning of the guarantee of reproductive rights, the media asked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to comment. Clinton was attending the 2022 Met Gala on Monday night. During the event, a draft of a SCOTUS majority opinion was leaked and shared by Politico. Justice Samuel Alito reportedly wrote of the 1973—Roe v. Wade—and 1992—Casey v. Planned Parenthood—landmark opinions that ensured reproductive freedom: "We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled." On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts verified the leaked draft is authentic, but not finalized. Justice Roberts stated an investigation into the leak will be conducted. The coalition of conservative justices—Alito, Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh—maintained: "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start." "It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives." Secretary Clinton—winner of the 2016 presidential popular vote by 2,868,686 votes over Donald Trump—shared her views on Twitter while attending the gala. She wrote: "Not surprising. But still outrageous." "This decision is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, & lives of women, not to mention decades of settled law." She also warned: "It will kill and subjugate women even as a vast majority of Americans think abortion should be legal." "What an utter disgrace." Earlier that evening, Clinton tweeted: "Women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights." "An extreme wing of the Supreme Court may seek to deny that fundamental truth." "They may try to force their views on a country where 70% of people want Roe upheld." "We will not be quiet and we will not go back." It could be noted, had Republicans not blocked President Barack Obama's final Supreme Court pick for over a year, one of the four judges signing onto the conservative opinion with Alito—Neil Gorsuch—would not be a Supreme Court justice. Had the popular vote and not the electoral college vote determined the 2016 presidential election, President Hillary Clinton—not Donald Trump—would have filled the SCOTUS seats now occupied by Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Back in December of 2015, Clinton warned voters of the damage a Republican President could do. Though voters didn't listen to Clinton's warnings in 2015, they're listening now. On Tuesday morning, former New York Senator Clinton urged people to attend a demonstration that evening in Foley Square in New York city. Protests are planned across the United States.

Speaking with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, the attorney was asked about a recent Rolling Stone report about Trump’s prison panic. As Rolling Stone reported, Trump asked if he’s “be sent to a ‘club fed’ style prison — a place that’s relatively comfortable, as far these things go — or a ‘bad’ prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement? Would government officials try to strip him of his lifetime Secret Service protections? What would they make him wear, if his enemies actually did ever get him in a cell — an unprecedented set of consequences for a former leader of the free world.” According to the attorney, Trump is revealing himself by asking for so many details. “What does this tell you about Trump’s mindset?” host Capehart asked. “It tells me he is scared to death” Kirschner quickly answered. “It tells me he has overwhelming consciousness of guilt because he knows what he did wrong and he knows he is about to be held accountable for his crimes. So it is not surprising that he is obsessing.” “If he was confident that he would be completely exonerated, would he have to obsess about what his future time in prison might look like?” he suggested. “I think the last refuge for Donald Trump can be seen in a recent post where he urged the Republicans to defund essentially the prosecutions against him. which, to this prosecutor, Jonathan, smells a lot like an attempt to obstruct justice.” Watch below or at the link. Image via Shutterstock ‘Vulgar and Lewd’: Trump Judge Cites Extremist Group to Allow Drag Show Ban A federal judge in Texas known for a ruling that attempted to ban a widely-used abortion drug is citing an extremist anti-LGBTQ group in his ruling allowing a ban on drag shows to stay in place. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a former attorney for an anti-LGBTQ conservative Christian legal organization, and a member of the Federalist Society, in his 26-page ruling dated Thursday cited the “About” page of Gays Against Groomers to claim, “it’s unclear how drag shows unmistakably communicate advocacy for LGBT rights.” Judge Kacsmaryk, appointed by Donald Trump twice before finally assuming office in 2019, suggests the First Amendment does not provide for freedom of expression for drag shows, calls drag “sexualized conduct,” and says it is “more regulable” because “children are in the audience.” Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern adds, “Kacsmaryk’s conclusion that drag is probably NOT protected by the First Amendment conflicts with decisions from Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Montana which held that drag is constitutionally protected expression. It also bristles with undisguised hostility toward LGBTQ people.” Calling the judge “a proud Christian nationalist who flatly refuses to apply binding Supreme Court precedent when it conflicts with his extremist far-right beliefs,” Stern at Slate writes that Kacsmaryk ruled drag “may be outlawed to protect ‘the sexual exploitation and abuse of children.’ In short, he concluded that drag fails to convey a message, while explaining all the reasons why he’s offended by the message it conveys.” Stern does not let Kacsmaryk off the hook there. “From almost any other judge, the ruling in Spectrum WT v. Wendler would be a shocking rejection of basic free speech principles; from Kacsmaryk, it’s par for the course. This is, after all, the judge who sought to ban medication abortion nationwide, restricted minors’ access to birth control, seize control over border policy to exclude asylum-seekers, and flouted recent precedent protecting LGBTQ+ equality,” Stern says. “He is also poised to bankrupt Planned Parenthood by compelling them to pay a $1.8 billion penalty on truly ludicrous grounds. And he is not the only Trump-appointed judge substituting his reactionary beliefs for legal analysis. We have reached a point where these lawless decisions are not only predictable but inevitable, and they show no sign of stopping: Their authors are still just settling into a decadeslong service in the federal judiciary.” West Texas A&M University President Walter V. Wendler penned the letter that sparked the lawsuit. Titled, “A Harmless Drag Show? No Such Thing,” Wendler wrote: “I believe every human being is created in the image of God and, therefore, a person of dignity. Being created in God’s image is the basis of Natural Law. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, prisoners of the culture of their time as are we, declared the Creator’s origin as the foundational fiber in the fabric of our nation as they breathed life into it. Does a drag show preserve a single thread of human dignity? I think not.” Journalist Chris Geidner concludes, “It’s an extremely biased ruling by a judge who has established that he does not care about being overturned — even by the most conservative appeals court in the nation.” Gaetz Praises GOP Congressman Who Echoes His Call for Change ‘Through Force’ U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL). largely seen as pushing Speaker Kevin McCarthy‘s Republican-majority House of Representatives toward shutting down the federal government, is praising and promoting remarks made by a freshman GOP lawmaker that appear to suggest the use of violence. U.S. Rep. Eli Crane‘s comments, posted Friday (below), call for change “through force,” remarks echoing Congressman Gaetz’s recent comments which were denounced by an expert on authoritarianism as fascistic. “The only way we’re going to see meaningful change in this town is through force,” wrote Congressman Crane, Republican of Arizona atop a three-minute video in which he frames what is now an almost guaranteed government shutdown as a “spending fight.” In his video he says, “the only way you’re gonna get any change in this town is through force.” Gaetz in August had said, “we know that only through force do we make any change in a corrupt town like Washington, D.C.” Congressman Crane is a former Navy SEAL. He has promoted the false “Big Lie” conspiracy theory that there was massive fraud in the election President Joe Biden won, and called “on the state legislature to decertify the 2020 election.” He is one of six House Republicans who voted against McCarthy’s speakership all 15 times in January. “Congressman Eli Crane is a fountainhead of political courage,” said Rep. Gaetz Friday afternoon. “He holds the line.” Crane recently came under fire for calling Black people “colored,” during debate on his legislation that would force the U.S. Armed Forces to not use any diversity requirements in its hiring practices. Just days before he won his House seat last year, The Washington Post reported Crane had urged an “audience to look up an antisemitic sermon at a recent campaign stop.” “Crane said that he was motivated to run because of ‘radical ideologies that are destroying this country’ and that he was most concerned about ‘Cultural Marxism,’ which the Southern Poverty Law Center has described as an antisemitic baseless claim gaining traction on the American right.” “He encouraged the audience to watch a speech by a right-wing pastor who blamed cultural change on a group of German Jewish philosophers and condemned Barack Obama for having a ‘homosexual agenda.'” “If we don’t wake up,” Crane said, according to the Post, “if we don’t study what they’re doing, and if we don’t put people in influential positions that understand what this war is all about, what they’re trying to do and have and have the courage to call it out, we’re going to lose this country.” In August, while standing next to Donald Trump at a campaign rally, Congressman Gaetz said, “Mr. President, I cannot stand these people that are destroying our country. They are opening our borders. They are weaponizing our federal law enforcement against patriotic Americans who love this nation as we should.” “But we know that only through force do we make any change in a corrupt town like Washington, D.C. And so to all my friends here in Iowa, when you see them come for this man, know that they are coming for our movement and they are coming for all of us.” At the time, Raw Story reported, “historian and author Ruth Ben-Ghiat called Gaetz comments alarming.” “What he is saying is that they are not going to have change through elections or through legislation or through reform. They are going to have change through violence,” she warned. “And that’s how fascists talk,” Ben-Ghiat added. “So, even if Trump is out of the picture, these are people who have adopted methods very familiar to me as a historian of fascism, that violence and corruption and lying that’s what the party is today.” Image via Shutterstock Trending - News2 days ago Pete Buttigieg Just Testified Before Congress.

| | 11/6/2017 The polls for tomorrow’s open Garden State gubernatorial campaign have been remarkably consistent since the June primary nominated former US Ambassador to Germany and Wall Street executive Phil Murphy (D) and Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno (R). What may be the cycle’s last poll is no exception. Rasmussen Reports (10/31-11/1; 800 NJ likely voters) finds Mr. Murphy’s lead to be 15 points, 50-35%, a range that has varied little over the past five months. The Democrat is expected to easily convert the NJ Governorship in tomorrow’s election. Gov. Chris Christie (R) is ineligible to seek a third term. --Jim Ellis | | The Rundown Blog Learn more about the candidates running in key elections across the United States.

BAMN is not a ‘para-terrorist’ organization To the Daily: I was deeply confused by Dan Grano’s letter (Information on website an error; College Republicans do not support the MCRI, 2/18/04) calling the pro-affirmative-action group BAMN a “para-terrorist” organization. Assuming Grano could not possibly be likening nonviolent protest to terrorism, I searched for a potential definition. Discarding the ideas that the speaker had to be protected from a group protecting against terrorism, that BAMN was operating a crack suicide-parachute squad or that being in favor of affirmative action is somehow “parallel to, but going beyond, terrorism,” I can only hope that he intended the prefix to somehow soften and legitimize his comparison of a group he disagrees with to violent killers. In which case, his remark is merely para-offensive, para-extremist and para-stupid. Dennis Clark Rackham Nader a better choice than Democrats To the Daily: I’m having a hard time swallowing this “Anybody But Bush” pill — the rationale that the Bush administration is an extremist rogue faction of ideologically driven Christian fundamentalists and that any Democrat would be better. This administration is not so rogue judging by U.S. history, which shows a consistent record of covert or open aggression to undermine movements in the public interest that challenge global corporate profiteering. And judging by the Democrats’ last three years as the opposition, they’re no better. For such an extremist agenda, where have they been? Where were the filibusters, the procedural obstructionist tactics? The Democrats, including presidential candidates John Kerry and John Edwards, abdicated the power of Congress to declare war while ushering in the new era of Bush’s national security strategy based on unprovoked aggression. Yet now they want my vote, and Kerry tells me that I misunderstand his “yes” vote in October 2002, that it was really a vote to continue diplomacy. And when only one senator, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, opposed the Patriot Act, the Democrats again demonstrated their complicity in extremism by without so much as a debate abolishing our right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.Very hard to swallow. This November, nobody is being forced to vote for the “lesser of two evils.” Say no to evil! Vote your conscience and vote for Ralph Nader who says, “There are a hundred million non-voters that no one has figured out how to bring back into the electoral system, which I want to try to do.” Mitch Abrams Reader Politicians need to make difficult choices for country To the Daily: On Feb. 25, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan made comments before Congress that Social Security benefits would have to be trimmed to keep Social Security and the federal budget fiscally solvent. These comments were unpopular with both Democratic presidential candidates and also with President Bush, as you could probably expect in an election year. This move by the candidates is no doubt to protect their stand with older voters, who are more likely to hit the polls, despite the bleak future of the federal budget and Social Security. However, this demonstrates one of the biggest problems with our government and our political system. No one who has his name on a ballot is willing to step up and take an unpopular stand for the good of the country. The biggest problem with politicians is they start out wanting to genuinely do good, serve the country and make America better. However, in their quest for power, they compromise their values, and the good they sought gets lost in the shuffle as politicians struggle to gain and remain in power. I personally have started to become apathetic about the entire political system when we as a country have serious problems, and we do not have any serious people who are willing to solve them. In my opinion, what this country needs is sincere, honest and authentic leadership, which is in rare supply. I know I paint a much more dire picture than is actually out there — our government does us a great deal of good, providing peace and security (among other things). But I see that we are sliding down a slippery slope, and American is getting used to accepting less, so I ask you Daily readers, what will you do about it? Whatever your political views are, get involved, write your congressman and most importantly, let the powers that be know that you want and expect more from your government. Tell them to do what’s right for America and not just their own re-election campaigns. America is at the crossroads, and we have choices to make, ones that will determine if our country keeps its place as a world power and if Americans will keep our wealthy lifestyle (compared to the rest of the world). America needs leadership. Robert Bartz Rackham City’s police need to protect pedestrians To the Daily: This letter is a response to the article entitled Jaywalking causes greater concern since student deaths (02/17/04). The Ann Arbor police are not doing their jobs as far as protecting pedestrians is concerned. I have first-hand experience. I was struck by a car while walking to work in Ann Arbor in January of 2003. This occurred in front of the Michigan Union, as I was crossing South University Avenue in the crosswalk. I was hospitalized with a broken hip, head wound and internal bleeding. I was in the hospital for a month and in a wheelchair for three months after that. The point I’d like to make is that even if you are legally crossing the street in Ann Arbor, you are not necessarily safe, so the issue of pedestrian safety is much broader than Lt. Michael Logghe attempted to convey with his statements in the article. Not only did the police never contact me for their report, but they failed to return my phone calls after repeated attempts. The person who hit me was issued a ticket at the scene for failure to yield. The result? The police officer, Officer Martin, never showed up to court that day, and the charge was dismissed. So part of the problem, as I see it, is in the failure of the Ann Arbor Police Department to enforce the law. That is the kind of “civil service” you can expect from The AAPD when you are a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen of Ann Arbor. Thanks for nothing, Ann Arbor. Kenneth A.

Out of 105 provisional ballots cast on Tuesday, 49 will be counted in a full vote. 11 will count in the federal race, and 45 will be disqualified. Nelson said most of the disqualified ballots is because the person filling them out was not registered and did a provisional at a polling place instead of voting at City Hall (where they would have been able to vote in the presidential race only). Here’s how the break down for provisional ballots by precincts. Total / full ballot counted/federal ballot counted/disqualified 2101 – 8/5/1/2 2102 – 39/12/8/19 2103 – 2/1/0/1 2104 – 1/1/0/0 2105 – 14/4/0/10 2106- 20/15/0/5 2107 – 11/6/1/4 2108 – 8/5/1/2 2109 – 2/0/0/2 Total – 105/49/11/45 Nelson also told that the Canvassing Authority that she is planning to conduct a recount the week of November 16th because races are so tight. Nelson said she is aware that the results of 60 mail ballots, 49 provisional ballots, and an unknown number of ballots dropped off at precincts on Election day to still count. The RI Board of Elections tweeted today,” this afternoon, we will include on our website additional results from mail ballots received by the deadline, and drop box mail ballots. Over the next several days we will include results from provisional ballots, military/overseas voters, and mail ballots cured by voters.”

September 13, 1998 Dear Editor: The following is my imaginary monologue with Bill Clinton: Sir, I consider it a great honor for me to be able to speak with you today. I have always been frustrated by your policies: - Staunchly pro-abortion while giving lip service to human rights - Shutting down the government because you thought that Congress wasn’t spending enough money - Ushering through (the 1994 Congress) the biggest tax increase in the history of the world, after promising a middle class tax cut - Ushering through the pork barrel crime bill and legislation that could lead to the eventual ban of the private ownership of guns. When the citizenry lacks the ability to defend themselves, crime will substantially increase. - Promising to reverse President Bush’s Haitian policy. Your words then prompted thousands to flee their country. Hundreds died on the open seas. - Supporting gays in the military and special rights for homosexuals In addition to your destructive policies, your personal conduct is appalling: - Laughing while walking away from the Ron Brown funeral and then being able to instantly shed tears upon sight of the TV camera - Not only being a draft dodger, but writing a letter stating that you “loathe the military” - Multiple and ongoing scandals - Admitting to “an improper relationship” only after the discovery of your DNA on a young woman’s dress - Forcing Ken Starr to document sexual details because you refuse to admit that you lied under oath - Making fools out of your wife and the White House staff for supporting your lies - Propositioning Paula Jones and sexually assaulting other women The list goes on Mr. President. But I think that you get my point. It would be satisfying to watch you resign in disgrace or be impeached. However, this is not what I have been praying for. My prayers would be answered if you and Hillary would turn yourselves around and devote your lives to Jesus Christ. Yes sir. I hope that you will join me and become a born-again-Christian. Repent and be baptized. Ask Jesus into your heart. Accept Him as your Lord and Savior and you will find the Kingdom of God. Chuck Colson of Watergate fame has done this and is now a powerful and great Christian. Will you pray with me now Mr. President? Will you accept Jesus and pray with me? John E. Becker

Before we move beyond zero-sum games, it’s worth taking a deeper look at the idea of utilities. As I mentioned before, in a game, the scores in the matrix are given by something called a utility function. Utility is an idea for how to mathematically describe preferences in terms of a game or lottery. For a game to be valid (that is, for a game to have a meaningful analysis and solution), there must be a valid utility function that describes the players’ preferences. But what do we have to do to make a valid utility function? It’s simple, but as usual, we’ll make it all formal and explicit. The easiest way to talk about utility and games is to think of games as a lottery. A lottery is a game with one player, with a variable payoff. You can think of it as a game where you only have one strategy available, and you know a probability distribution for the other player’s strategy. So you can compute a value for the game. - Universality: Every possible outcome has a utility value associated with it; this includes both specific final outcomes, and indirect/meta outcomes (that is, situations where an outcome from one lottery/game is a ticket for another lottery/game. That outcome will have as its value the expected utility for the lottery). - Comparability: utility values are always comparable; for a particular player with utility function u, given any two choices A and B, they’ll either prefer one over the other (u(A) > u(B) or u(B)>u(A)), or they’ll be indifferent (u(A) = A(B)). There are no possible utility values that can’t be compared. - Consistency: utility comparisons are consistent. Consistency requires that utility values be reflexive (if u(A)>u(B), then u(B)<u(A), and if u(A)=u(B) then u(B)=u(A)), and transitive (if u(A)<u(B) and u(B)<U(C) then u(A)<u(C)). - Rationality: Players are rational actors. This means that players will always make choices that maximize their expected payoff. So given a lottery with expected payoff 5, and a winning of 4, a player will always choose to play. On the other hand, people won’t play when the expected payoff is small – there’s no intrinsic attraction to playing beyond the expected payoff encoded in the utility function. (So, for example, for a gambler who enjoys gambling, his pleasure at playing the game is encoded in the utility value of every outcome that involves playing, win or lose.) Even given a probabilistic situation, where the two choices are a definite payoff of 4, or a lottery with an expected payoff of 4, the player will be indifferent. Let’s take an example to show how we can build a consistent utility function. Suppose we’ve got the following sitaution. We’ve got three lotteries – A, B, and C, where: - In lottery A, the prizes are an apple (with probability 0.3), a pear (probability 0.2), a ticket for lottery B (probability 0.2) or nothing. - In lottery B, the prizes are a pear (probability 0.1), a banana (probability 0.5), or a ticket for lottery C (probability 0.4). - In lottery C, the prizes are an apple (probability 0.4), a pear (probability 0.3), or nothing (probability 0.3). The player can choose either a pear or a ticket for lottery A. How can we decide what they should do? We’ll start by describing what the player prefers in the concrete prizes. They surely don’t like nothing as a prize – so we’ll give that utility 0. And they like apples twice as much as pears, and bananas three times as much as pears. So we’ll assign u(pear)=1, u(apple)=2, u(banana)=3. So what’s a ticket for lottery A worth? Since one prize of A is a ticket for B, and one prize for B is a ticket for C, we need to figure out the utility values of tickets for B and C. We’ll do C first, since it doesn’t depend on the other two. The utility value of a lottery is the weighted average of its outcome utilities. So, u(c)=0.4*2 + 0.3*1 + 0.3*0 = 1.1. So a ticket for lottery C is worth just a little bit more than a pear – given a choice between a ticket for C and a pear, the player will choose the ticket; given a choice between a ticket for C and an apple, the player will choose the apple. Now, we can figure out the utility value of a ticket for lottery B. u(B) = 0.1*1 + 0.5*3 + 0.4*1.1 = 2.04. So a ticket for lottery B is worth a lot more than a ticket for lottery C, and it’s also worth more than either an apple or a pear. Now, finally, we can compute the value of a ticket for A. u(A) = 0.3*2 + 0.2*1 + 0.2*2.04 + 0.3*0 = 0.6+0.2+0.408=1.208. So according to the utility function, the player will choose a ticket for lottery A. There’s a couple of properties of utility functions that can seem strange at first. Given a utility function u, you can define another utility function such that ∀x:v(x)=u(x)+c (where C is a constant). In every possible game, the two utility functions are effectively equivalent: they’ll result in exactly the same strategic choices. Depending on how you look at it, this can be either entirely obvious, or it can seem very strange. If you look at the example above, where we defined initial utility values in terms of the magnitude of preference – that is, “I like an apple twice as much as a pear, so I’ll say that an apple equals 2 pears”, it seems strange. But the real driving thing in the utility function is the simple difference between utilities – and the simple difference is exactly the same – so the strategies will be the same. Similarly, utility functions have equivalent outcomes when multiplied by a constant. Again, it’s the difference between things that are important, and if the distance between outcomes is varied consistently – either by adding or multiplying, then the strategic outcomes will be the same. It’s all very simple and very rational. Applying it is a lot harder – because people aren’t always rational. People will gamble for the fun of gambling depending on their mood; an apple may be worth more than a pear today, and less tomorrow; a person may prefer an apple rather than a pear, and be indifferent to an apple versus a banana, but prefer a pear to a banana. People just don’t necessarily define the values of their choices in ways that fit with the utility function requirements of consistency, comparability, and transitivity. As we’ll see in later posts, you can model some interesting economic phenomena using game theory and utility functions. But those models are tricky to apply in the real world, because real-world decision making is often too complex to be able to accurately model with a comprehensible, analyzable utility function. This leads to some really intense debates between political perspectives, ranging from people who find the whole idea of describing human interactions in terms of utility functions to be morally obscene; to people who believe that there’s no moral problem but that human behavior is too complex to describe as utility function; to people who believe that utility functions are the ideal way (both mathematically and ethically) to model behavior. Interestingly, the lines between these viewpoints don’t correspond to the traditional political divide. Most people seem to expect that the “morally obscene” group should correspond to the political left, and that the “utility functions are perfect” should correspond to the right. But you can find libertarians and free-market uber-conservatives on the morally obscene side, and marxists on the “utility functions are ideal” side. It’s pretty interesting.

Hit Your New Weight Goals! http://ketowithgary.com Get 51% OFF By Clicking The Link Above ^^^ New York Mayor Eric Adams recently lashed out at an elderly woman during a community meeting about the city’s escalating rents. The woman, expressing her valid concerns over rent hikes, was met with a tirade from Adams. Instead of addressing the issue at hand, the Mayor attacked this citizen, accusing her of treating him like a slave on a plantation. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Mayor Adams, seemingly controlled by corporate interests, cares more about satisfying big businesses than he does about the everyday struggles of New Yorkers. His unwillingness to take action against sky-high rents shows a disregard for his constituents. Adams must remember he’s a public servant, and the respect he seeks must be earned through action, not demanded.

Residents of other counties can find their voter guides here. Find out which U.S. congressional, state legislative and state Board of Education districts you live in below. Then, scroll down to find the candidates in those races and more. If you don't see your districts listed below, that means they're not up for election in 2020. Early voting is Oct. 13-30, and Election Day is Nov. 3. You can find early voting polling locations here, and Election Day voting locations here. *Signifies incumbent Federal PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES The president is the head of state of the United States of America and the head of the nation’s government, as well as the commander in chief of military forces. The president appoints Supreme Court justices, federal judges, Cabinet members and ambassadors to other nations, all of which are subject to approval by the Senate. The president also recommends legislation to Congress. U.S. SENATE Every state in the U.S. elects two people to represent them in the U.S. Senate, which is the upper chamber of Congress. They are elected statewide for six-year terms. Texas Sen. John Cornyn’s term is up for re-election this year. - Republican: John Cornyn* - Democrat: Mary “MJ” Hegar - Libertarian: Kerry Douglas McKennon - Green Party: David B. Collins U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Texas has 36 seats in the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Congress. The total number of representatives is currently set at 435. The number of seats a state is given is based on population. Representatives are elected for two-year terms. Texas’ 10th Congressional District covers parts of Northern and East Austin — including parts of Manor — and stretches to parts of Bastrop and all the way to northwestern parts of Houston. U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul has held this seat since 2005. State TEXAS SENATE This is the upper chamber of the Texas Legislature. It consists of 31 members, each representing about 800,000 Texans. They are elected to four-year terms. Along with the Texas House of Representatives, the Texas Senate drafts and passes state laws, policies and budgets. The Legislature meets for 140 days during odd-numbered years, though the governor can call special sessions outside that time frame. State Senate District 18 runs from Nueces County on the Gulf Coast to suburban Houston and as far west as Gonzales, Fayette and Lee counties. TEXAS HOUSE The Texas House is the lower chamber of the state Legislature. It consists of 150 members, who are elected every two years. Along with the state Senate, the House drafts and passes state laws, policies and budgets. The Legislature meets for 140 days during odd-numbered years, though the governor can call special sessions outside that time frame. House District 17 includes all of Bastrop, Lee, Caldwell, Gonzales and Karnes counties. TEXAS SUPREME COURT The Texas Supreme Court is the court of last resort for civil cases involving state law. Those are cases that deal with lawsuits between people, businesses and organizations, as opposed to criminal cases. Legal decisions made by the state Supreme Court are final and binding under state law. The court is made up of eight justices and one chief justice, who are elected to six-year terms in partisan statewide elections. Four places on the court are up for election this year. Chief Justice: While the chief justice oversees the court, each member has one equal vote in issuing decisions. The chief justice assigns the other justices administrative duties, like who will run disciplinary proceedings for lawyers and who will be the court’s liaison to the state bar. The chief justice also appoints judges to cases, if lower court judges have to recuse themselves. Justice, Place 6 Justice, Place 7 Justice, Place 8 RAILROAD COMMISSION Don’t let the name confuse you, the Railroad Commission of Texas has nothing to do with railroads. The name is just a throwback to a time when it did. Nowadays the Railroad Commission regulates the powerful oil, gas and mining industries in Texas. It is responsible for ensuring pipeline safety, enforcing rules over drilling and production, and overseeing natural gas utilities, among other things. As such, it is often at the center of battles over public safety and the environment. The commission is overseen by a three-member Board of Railroad Commissioners who are elected statewide. One of those seats is on the 2020 ballot. - Republican: James “Jim” Wright - Democrat: Chrysta Castañeda - Libertarian: Matt Sterett - Green Party: Katija “Kat” Gruene STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION The State Board of Education oversees education policy and standards for public schools. The board’s tasks include overseeing state funding, establishing graduation requirements for high schools, choosing instructional materials and adopting curriculum standards. The 15 members of the board are elected by districts — each representing about 1.8 million people — to four-year terms. District 10 includes Williamson and Bell counties, as well as parts of Travis, Freestone, Waller and Burnet counties. TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS This is the highest criminal court in Texas, with ultimate say over criminal appeals, including death penalty cases. Judges on the nine-judge panel are elected statewide to six-year terms. Place 3 Place 4 Place 9 THIRD COURT OF APPEALS This is, unshockingly, an appeals court – meaning it hears cases after they've been ruled upon and one party thinks the ruling isn't right. This six-justice panel hears both civil and criminal cases from an area that covers 24 counties, including Austin and surrounding areas. The chief justice of this court is up for election this year. Lee County LEE COUNTY ATTORNEY The county attorney serves as a legal adviser to county and precinct officials. The attorney's responsibilities include providing legal advice to elected officials and prosecuting misdemeanor crimes. - Republican: Martin J. Placke* - Democrat: None LEE COUNTY SHERIFF The county sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of Lee County. The sheriff enforces traffic regulations, operates the county jail, investigates crimes and makes arrests. - Republican: Casey G.

This book takes a comprehensive, analytic approach to understanding Juvenile Risk and Needs Assessment (JRNA), covering elements relevant to how the practice affects youths’ cases and the juvenile justice system. The work draws on both analysis of the extensive research on risk and needs assessment in the juvenile justice system as well as data from the authors’ recent work in the area. Authors Sullivan and Childs have extensive experience in teaching about and doing research on the juvenile justice system, including multiple studies on juvenile risk and needs assessment tools and their implementation. This expansive, integrative book leaves readers with a realistic sense of "where things stand" on the theory, research, policy, and practice of JRNA. By bringing together existing ideas and assessing them in depth, it identifies possible future paths and sparks ideas for improving the juvenile justice response to delinquent and at-risk youths.

**Written by Doug Powers During the White House briefing on Wednesday afternoon, CNN’s Jim Acosta threw a fit in the briefing room and quoted the poem engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York. “The statue of liberty says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, it doesn’t say anything about speaking English or being able to be a computer programmer,” Acosta said. “Aren’t you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country if you’re telling them, you have to speak English, can’t people learn how to speak English when they get here?” When Stephen Miller tried to explain that poems on statues do not constitute immigration policy, Acosta doubled down. “You’re saying that does not represent what the country has always thought of as generations coming into this country?” Acosta shot back. “That sounds like some national park revisionism.” […] Acosta then tried to argue that talks of a border wall decreased legal immigration. Hey, if Acosta wants to get into what the Statue of Liberty doesn’t say, let’s have at it (I haven’t seen anything about “free” health care or abortion on demand but maybe CNN can do some research). Does this guy not sound more like a political opponent advocating a position than a “reporter”?

Amidst our current constitutional crisis I've heard this excuse many times - "Everybody does it." Which means exactly what? Should one assume there is safety in numbers given many of us do the wrong thing on a frequent basis? Since assuming office Mr. Trump has uttered at least 13,000 falsehoods thus far. Hence it's fine to lie? Can we now freely rob each other given over 300,000 thefts occur annually within our shores? Is it OK to kill another given more than sixteen thousand Americans are murdered each year? When did doing wrong become perfectly all right?! Right or wrong? There is a reason we have laws. Nobody wants to live in a free-for-all world. One where both the good and bad get to make their own rules. Extremists aside, the majority of folks try to do the right thing. So why would anybody condone any other doing the wrong thing? Other than because they can't admit they made a mistake. Or will do anything to insure they hold onto their power. Hence the mess we're now in. My question being, can we the people separate fact from fiction, truth from deception, right from wrong?! Or are we witnessing the collapse of our American democracy as we know it? Per recent reports - Rudy Guiliani has made millions via leveraging his friendship with Donald Trump to his advantage. Ultimately interjecting himself into America's foreign relations behind the scenes. To the benefit of his clients and self interests. Is that right or wrong? Years ago Martha Stewart went to jail because she used insider information to feather her nest. In doing so, she did not endanger others. Rather she simply used her competitive edge to her advantage. Was that wrong? And should she now be pardoned by her former boss on NBC's The Apprentice? Equal opportunity It's a fact that Donald Trump withheld house approved financial aid to the Ukraine. It's a fact that he then asked its President to do him "a favor" and investigate his political foe. Using his competitive edge to his advantage. Right or wrong why should he be allowed to do so? What gives him the right to leverage his presidential role for his political gain and endangering millions? Does "everybody" do that? What would happen if you were caught in the same act? Would a jury of your peers make excuses for you? Or would they hold you accountable? Nobody is above the law.

Former Republican US Senator John Warner who represented Virginia is endorsing current Democrat US Senator Mark Warner, 59, for re-election. Warner, 86, tells “Politico” he’s chosen the other Warner, who is a Democrat, over the GOP candidate Ed Gillespie because he knows Mark Warner much better and because Gillespie has never served in a legislative body.

Contacting a skilled violent crimes lawyer in Compton right away can improve your odds of winning your case. The experienced lawyers at the Simmrin Law Group can start building your case immediately while offering you expert advice. Assault vs. Battery in Compton Assault and battery are two of the most common violent crime charges in Compton. They are frequently confused with one another, but they both cover different acts and come with different penalties if you are convicted. Definition of Assault Assault is a criminal act that occurs if you willfully use force while knowing it will likely cause someone else a bodily injury. Individuals can be convicted of assault without actually causing an injury, which sets this charge apart from battery. Definition of Battery Unlike assault, battery occurs if you willingly use unlawful force to injure another person. Someone must suffer some form of injury if you are to be convicted of battery. Note that assault and battery are often charged together in the court system, regardless of these differences in definition. Assault and Battery Charges The court system uses a wide range of charges to prosecute acts of assault and battery, including: - Misdemeanor Assault - Assault with a Deadly Weapon - Assault with a Firearm - Simple Battery Penalties for Assault and Battery Depending on the exact charges against you, you could face the following repercussions if you are charged with assault or battery: - Up to $10,000 in fines - Up to 4 years in prison - Bans on firearm ownership - Forced completion of an anger management course Be aware that California is a state that punishes minors very harshly for assault or battery. A minor who is convicted could even end up tried in adult court if he or she is over the age of 14. Any conviction for assault or battery could seriously impact your life for many years to come.

Criminal Defense Lawyer Near Me (310) 896-2723 Compton’s Charges for Murder Individuals commit murder if they kill another person. No other crime is punished as harshly by the court system. In fact, you can end up facing the following penalties if you are convicted of murder in Compton: - Life in Prison - Death Penalty The following charges are used to handle accusations of murder in California: - First Degree Murder - Second Degree Murder First degree murder charges apply if one person plans a murder and then carries it out intentionally. You can be charged with second degree murder for committing a murder without premeditation. Both charges can ruin the rest of your life, though only first degree murder can lead to the death penalty. Note that you cannot be convicted for murder if you killed someone else in self-defense. California considers this act to be justifiable or excusable homicide, which does not come with legal penalties. Regardless of why you have been accused of murder, you should act quickly if you’re facing murder charges. Your lawyer will need time to build a solid case. The sooner you get legal help, the higher your chances of winning in court will be.

There was a problem. Please refresh the page and try again. On Monday, the federal government charged suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with "unlawfully using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction." Say what? For most, the term WMD suggests complex nuclear or chemical weaponry, the sort of devastating arsenal Saddam Hussein supposedly had prior to the U.S-led invasion of Iraq. The biggest weapons Tsarnaev and his brother are accused of using? Pressure cookers full of sharp metal objects. Subscribe to The Week Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus analysis from multiple perspectives. So how does a souped-up kitchen appliance get roped in with weapons that can cross continents and obliterate entire cities? The answer is the government's very loose definition of what constitutes a WMD. By law, a WMD can be "any explosive, incendiary, or poison gas," including bombs, grenades, and mines, regardless of their blast potential. Missiles and rocket-propelled explosives also qualify, so long as they meet minimal requirements on the size of their charges. By that definition, virtually any improvised explosive can be classified as a WMD, which "speak[s] to the definitional absurdity" surrounding those weapons, says Wired's Spencer Ackerman. "About all that doesn't apply are firearms and pyrotechnics gear," he says. "No one ever said the law had to coincide with military terminology." So how did we get to the point where firecrackers, if used toward evil ends, could possibly be classified as WMDs? As Foreign Policy's Timothy Noah notes, the U.S. first used the term "weapons of mass destruction" in the 1940s to describe nuclear warheads. A few years later, the United Nations expanded that definition to include chemical and biological weapons, diluting the term's meaning. That erosion continued over the years such that Tsarnaev's case now "renders entirely meaningless a phrase that was already too crudely propagandistic to warrant much respect," says Noah. But ridiculous or not, the charges against Tsarnaev, which carry a maximum penalty of death or life in prison, fit the letter of the law.

Along the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez is a place known as Casa Migrante, a hidden haven for immigrants trying to cross the U.S. One Mexican woman there said she lost her husband, son and his family to cartel violence. She wants to live in the U.S. with her granddaughter, but she’s afraid to cross. Maria Covernali runs a group that tries to help undocumented immigrants, and she says the Trump administration’s newis changing the advice she gives them. “What I’m trying to do is like, telling them, telling the people, don’t go because they’re going to take away your kids,” she said. We asked her how hard it is to listen to stories of separation. “Oh very hard,” she replied. “If they would do that to me, I would die.” Despite the risks, some, like one woman from Honduras, said she plans to cross over into the U.S. anyway. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc.

Warm-Up Who has gone to vote with a family member (in any country)? What happens in a polling place? Who’s in charge? How do people vote there? Discuss students’ experiences and prior knowledge. Whole Class Instruction In the previous lesson, students completed a real or hypothetical mail- in ballot application. In this lesson, they will learn how to complete and return their mail-in ballot, as well as how to find their polling place and to cast their ballot in person. They will also learn how to cast a provisional ballot as a last resort. It’s important to walk students through these processes. 1. Voting By Mail 2. Completing and Returning a Mail-In Ballot - If you applied early, you should receive your ballot in the mail around the end of September, so research the candidates while you wait. Inside the envelope you will find: - Instructions - Ballot - Secrecy envelope - Outer envelope (addressed and postage-paid) - Read the instructions. - Fill out your ballot in black ink. Dark blue is okay too, but no other colors are accepted! - Fold your ballot and insert it into the secrecy envelope. Seal it. - Insert the security envelope into the outer envelope. Seal it. - Read and sign the Voter’s Declaration on the back of the outer envelope—CAREFUL—your envelope must be signed and your signature must match your signature the state has on file from PennDOT or your Voter Registration form. Complete the information. - Deliver your completed ballot yourself to a County Election Office as soon as possible, but by 8pm on Election Day at the latest. Ballots delivered after that deadline will not be counted. - OR mail your ballot through the US Post Office as soon as possible, but well before Election Day. In order to guarantee on-time delivery the USPS recommends mailing your ballot at least 10 days early. - You must mail or deliver your own ballot, unless you are physically ill or disabled. - Take an “I voted because ____” selfie for Instagram #VoteThatJawn. - Make an “I voted because ____” Tik Tok #DanceThatJawn. - Track the status of your ballot to be sure it’s been received and counted 3. Voting in Person on Election Day - Find your polling place: Your polling location is printed on your voter registration card. It’s important to check online because many polling locations have changed due to COVID-19. Find your polling location. - Polls are open from 7am to 8pm on Election Day. - Make a plan to go to the polls. Research shows that thinking through a plan to vote ahead of time dramatically increases voter turnout. Some things to consider: Some schools are closed on Election Day - is yours? Do you have to work? Do you have childcare, appointments, or other responsibilities on Election Day? - What form of ID will you bring? - Acceptable Forms of ID for First-Time Voters include PennDOT ID, Driver’s License, US passport, Voter Registration Card, student ID. You only need to show ID the first time you vote at a polling place, but it’s always good to have with you. - What time of day will you vote? - Allow time to wait in line. Lines are usually longest in the morning and evening, and shortest in the afternoon. You must be in line by 8pm to vote. Stay in line! Your vote is important! - How will you get there? - Will you walk, skate, ride, drive, use public transit, mosey, or sashay? - Who will you bring with you? - Go with friends or family. Bring younger siblings or cousins. They love to push the buttons and get a sticker (as long as you make the choices). No Matter Which: Go VOTE! Encourage students who vote to do one or both of the following: - Take an “I voted because ____” selfie for Instagram and tag @Payouthvote and @committeeof70 - Do an “I voted because ____” dance for the #DanceThatJawn Tik Tok Challenge! Voting with a Provisional Ballot: - Problem voting? If for any reason you are told you cannot cast a ballot, and you believe you are eligible, ask for a provisional ballot at your polling place. The Judge of Elections must allow you to vote provisionally. You will be given a paper ballot to complete in the polling place. If the election is close, voters that cast provisional ballots will be investigated for eligibility and their votes will count if valid. - Call the Election Protection Program 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683) if you need help, if someone is denied the right to vote, or if you observe or suspect any wrongdoing in a polling place or with regards to mail-in ballots. - English: 866-OUR-VOTE (Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law) - Spanish/English: 888-VE-Y-VOTA (NALEO Educational Fund) - Arabic/English: 844-YALLA-US (Arab American Institute (AAI)) - Asian Languages/English: 888-API-VOTE (APIAVote & Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC) Check for Understanding Don’t let anything stand in your way! Quiz or activity: Pose common roadblocks and problems and ask what students should do to make sure their vote is counted, for example: - You don’t have a PennDOT ID. - Your mail-in ballot never came. - Your name isn’t in the book at your polling place. - Your boss says you have to work a double shift on Election Day. - The poll worker says your signature doesn’t match and you can’t vote. - The line is crazy long. Homework: Watch video - Poll Worker Emergency: Young People Needed - Why is there a need for young people to work the polls?

Click here to contribute to help us take a stand against him. Begin Forwarded Message: Team, Texans deserve better than a hypocrite like Ted Cruz representing them in the United States Senate. Despite his own proposal of implementing congressional term limits that would cap U.S. Senators at serving two six-year terms, he is still running for reelection in 2024.

This vile fundraising text-message did not come from some fringe group. It came from the National Republican Congressional Committee. Let’s count just a few of the ways in which this is disgusting: - It misuses the term “traitor” to suggest that not supporting a politician can ever be treason. - It implicitly identifies fealty with The Leader with loyalty to the United States. - It suggests that it is unpatriotic to fail to support a man who - encouraged a seditionist mob to storm the Capitol of the United States in order to prevent the certification of an election he had lost and - tried to subvert the Justice Department to undermine the election result - when in fact the reverse is true: supporting the seditionist is what is unpatriotic. - It says those who don’t send the NRCC money right now will be “branded a deserter”. And creates a totally bogus 17 minute deadline to fork over. - Appeals like this work. I knew House Republicans had gone pretty far over to the Dark Side, but this…

|Type||Working Paper| |Title||Explaining Support for Authoritarianism in New Democracies| |Author(s)| |Publication (Day/Month/Year)||2015| |URL||http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1016&context=castheses| |Abstract|| | In the last few decades, significant democratic advances have been made all across the world. A body of research on democratization has emerged to explain this phenomenon. However, one important question is often overlooked in the rush to try to explain the global democratic push: do the citizens of these democratizing countries actually want democracy? Often the answer seems to be yes. Perhaps because of universally accepted norms, positive connotations with the word itself, or dreams of economic success, democracy retains a large margin of support compared to authoritarian alternatives across the world, especially when investigated in simple terms. However, this support is not uniform and falters in some new democracies more than others. Surveys in several of these countries have revealed that surprisingly large constituencies still view an authoritarian government as preferable. This thesis will investigate the puzzle demonstrated in Chart 1.1, which shows the percentage of respondents across Latin America and Africa who agreed that authoritarianism, or a “non-democratic regime,” can be preferable to democracy. No country exceeded 30% support for authoritarianism—good news for democracy—but there is significant variance across different countries. Average authoritarian support in Latin America is 18.4% and ranges from 11.9% in Bolivia to 28.9% in Honduras. In Africa, authoritarian support is generally lower. The African average is 11%, less than even the lowest Latin American country. However, there is still notable variance across the region and Lesotho presents itself as a significant outlier with 29.7% of survey takers agreeing that an authoritarian regime could be preferable. |»||Benin, Burkina Faso, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambi - Afrobarometer Survey 2008, Merged Round 4 Data (20 Countries)|

Here is my prediction; Hillary Clinton will win the presidential election. Presently, when you add all of States that are solidly and leaning toward her, she will get 273 electoral votes. However, that leaves the battleground states of Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, and Ohio. I would guess that Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio will go to Clinton. Further, I would put some money on Arizona and/or Georgia also going her way, which totals 351. That means that the Donald will garner 187. This creates the meltdown of the Donald. The Donald's meltdown started during the Republican Convention but intensified after the Democratic Convention and continues to this day. The question that you should be asking is why is the meltdown occurring in the first place? Why is the Donald going to lose the election in a landslide? Basically, there are two general reasons: the election will be rigged or that the Donald is doing it to the Donald. I wrote this essay prior to Time Magazine publishing date of Inside Donald Trump's Meltdown. However, when I saw the cover of Time on the Internet before the publication date, the drawing described perfectly the Donald. These are the 10-reasons that I believe that the Donald is melting down. Narcissism. According to Greek mythology, Narcissus was infatuated with his own good looks. The goddess, Nemesis, took Narcissus to a large pool of water where he saw his reflection in the water. He didn't realize that it was merely his reflection and spent the rest of his life looking at himself. Narcissus and the Donald are clones. My grandmother used to warn my brothers and me to avoid hubris. She would say, "I love me; I think I'm grand, when I go to heaven, I hold my hand." The Donald would have benefitted if he knew either the Greek mythology or what my grandmother used to say. Windbag. The Donald is a windbag. He is always talking even when what he says is either wrong and/or doesn't make sense. When the Donald and I were growing up back in the early 60s, the song, Blowin' In the Wind, was quite popular. He should have listened to the words. "Blowin' In The Wind" How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. Joan Baez affirms that the answer is blowin' in the wind. "Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head / And pretend that he just doesn't see? / The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind / The answer is blowin' in the wind." Perhaps, the Donald should sing along with Baez and then pivot. Arrogant. Arrogant comes from the Latin arrogantem, which means assuming, bumptious, presumptuous, imperious overbearing, or insolent. The Donald is arrogant due to his feeling inferior, not because he is great. Egotistical. I would like to see a word study of the Donald's use of the pronouns: I, me, or mine. The Donald can essentially do it all. The Donald will stop ISIS as soon as he gets elected and turn the country and the world around. Liar. Pulitzer prize winning, PolitiFact did some fact checking of many of the Donald's statements. These are the results. True 4% Mostly True 11% Half True 15% Mostly False 15% False 36% Pants on Fire 42% Sexist. This is what he said about his daughter, Ivanka. This is the Donald demonstrating vulgar sexism. Disagreeable. The Donald claims that everyone loves him like women and his African Americans. No, Donald, you are the most disagreeable person to many, including women and blacks. Look at the polls. Never do I quote George Will in any of my essays. Politically, we are polar opposites. However, this article is an exception. This is what Will wrote in the Washington Post. If you look beyond Donald Trump's comprehensive unpleasantness — is there a disagreeable human trait he does not have? — you might see this: He is a fundamentally sad figure. His compulsive boasting is evidence of insecurity. His unassuageable neediness suggests an aching hunger for others' approval to ratify his self-admiration. His incessant announcements of his self-esteem indicate that he is not self-persuaded. Now, panting with a puppy's insatiable eagerness to be petted, Trump has reveled in the approval of Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal. (washingtonpost.com) Xenophobic. The Donald has problems with Mexicans and Muslims. This is about Mexicans. The Donald's assumption about the black vote is based upon getting elected for his first term in a couple of months and that he isn't viewed by blacks as a racist. Finally, the Donald is in a Catch-22 situation. His inner circle, in an attempt to get and keep on the script, is using teleprompters when he has a speech to give. When he uses it, it forces him to stay on message. However, when he reverts to the old Donald, which is off the cuff, he wanders off to never, never land. Therefore, he is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, and damned if he can stay where he is. The Donald is in meltdown mode, but he is still talking...for a while. If the Donald has a delete button, he might wish to delete these comments for starters.

Introduction Domocracy. What does it involve? Many people think that elections every few years is enough to make a country a democracy. This is not so. This essay looks at the requirements for a democracy. 1 Votes Democracy requires votes. Every adult person should be able to vote regardless of gender, colour, race, religion, sexuality or political belief. Some countries deny the vote to people in prison. This is only valid if there are no political prisoners. The following are examples of countries that are (or were) not democracies because voting is not allowed or is restricted. The voting may take different forms: - Switzerland before 1971: women were not allowed to vote. - South Africa before 1990: non-white people were denied the vote. - Jordan in 2003; Chile between 1973 and 1990: elections were suspended. - Saudi Arabia: nobody votes. Voting may be by region (state, county or constituency) or proportional. Each has advantages and disadvantages. - Voting for the head of state (usually a president). The president may be a figurehead with only symbolic power (as in India or Germany) or a powerful head of state (as in USA or France). - Voting for a body that makes laws: a senate (as in USA), congress (India) or parliament (as in UK). Candidates may stand independently or as a member of as political party. - Voting for local government (many countries), local officials (as in USA). - Voting on issues of importance to the community or country (Switzerland). 2 Freedom For votes to meaningful, the voter must have freedom and not be intimidated. Voting must be secret to allow complete freedom to vote. The following are examples of countries that are or were not democracies because of a lack of real freedom to vote. - Zimbabwe since 1995: the governing party intimidates opponents and makes party membership a requisite for certain privilages. - Colombia since 1990: opponents are assasinated by government run death squads. - Nigeria in 2003: elections were marred by violence and intimidation. - Iraq in 2002: non-secret ballots. 3 Inclusion For voting to be meaningful, there must be a real choice for the voter. Excluding parties or people from standing as candidates lessens voter choice. The following are examples of countries that are or were not democracies because of a lack of real choice of candidates. Another way of removing choice and real power in an election is by gerrymandering. The election must be based on constituencies for gerrymandering to be possible. - Turkey: in all elections, political parties representing Kurdish interests are banned from standing. - Pakistan in 2002: several candidates were not allowed to stand by the president who had taken power in a military coup. - Iraq before 2003: only the Ba'ath party could put up candidates for election. - Russia before 1989: only the Communist party could put up candidates for election. - USA: the Communist party is banned. This occurred for many years up to 1976 in Northern Ireland (a province of the UK). A city would have two populations: half would be Catholic; the other half Protestant. The Protestant part of the city would be divided into more constituencies than the Catholic side so there would always be more representitives from the Protestant side. 4 Finance It is possible to have many political parties but still have an uneven election. The financing of political parties can be an issue. It is illegal for foreigners to make contributions to political parties in the USA - the USA however frequently makes donations to favoured parties in elections in an attempt to influence the result. Three examples are Nicaragua in the 1980s, Chile in 1970 and Iraq in 2003. In many countries a few selected parties are financed by business while the majorty are financed only by their members. Parties with more finance can advertise more to get their message across. 5 Information People need information and education if they are to use their vote effectively. In most countries of the world the providers of information, the media, are often owned by a few large corporations. This lessens sources of news and information and does not allow people to make informed choices. This is a big problem in most Western countries which have votes for all, little political intimidation, many political parties and fair voting systems. Conclusion A country is only democratic if people have a right to elect the representitives of their choice with a full undestanding of the issues. © 2006 KryssTal KryssTal Related Page Why the Western media does not always report everything that is going on in the world. How language is used to obscure the facts and mold opinion.

You can find our full results from yesterday’s primaries in Nebraska and West Virginia at results.decisiondeskHQ.com Morning Headlines - West Virginia Rep. Alex Mooney emerged victorious over fellow Congressman David McKinley in the newly drawn 2nd Congressional District. Mooney continued the streak of candidates endorsed by former President Trump winning primaries. David McKinley had been endorsed by West Virginia US Senator Joe Manchin. The state’s other representative, Carol Miller, easily fended off four primary challengers in her contest. West Virginia lost one of its congressional seats in redistricting. David McKinley’s district was primarily the one that was split, and it looks like he will be the odd man out. - Nebraska saw the closest high-profile contest of the night. The Republican primary for governor saw many lead changes within the top three candidates. University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen ended the night on top though, ending the streak of Trump endorsees winning their contests. Trump’s choice, Charles Herbster, finished in second but had been dogged throughout his campaign by allegations from 8 women, including a sitting state senator, of sexual assault. Brett Lindstrom had a lead early but eventually fell to third. Pillen will face Carol Blood, who easily won yesterday’s Democratic primary, in the November general election. - In Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District, state Senator Mike Flood easily won the open seat left vacant after former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry resigned following his conviction of lying to the FBI. Fortenberry’s resignation and ceasing of campaigning came too late for him to be removed from the ballot. He finished the five-way race in second place with just over 11% of the vote. The state’s two incumbent Congressmen Don Bacon and Adrian Smith both easily won over their primary challenges. Bacon will take on Tony Vargas, who emerged from the 2nd Congressional District’s Democratic primary, in the November general election for a district that could be competitive. - A federal judge in New York has ordered the state to push its Congressional and state senate primaries back to August 23. It was a final effort by Democrats trying to keep their redistricting plan alive by arguing the primary needs to take place on its original scheduled date in June. The judge instead ruled that the maps will be redrawn by a special master and that pushing back the date of the primary just for those contests that will be affected is necessary to give them the proper time. Democrats were hoping to net a three-seat gain out of the New York redistricting process, but that will likely not be the case now. - New York Republican Rep. Tom Reed announced on the House floor yesterday that he will be resigning from Congress effective immediately. Reed had previously announced he would not seek reelection after allegations were made against him of sexual misconduct that he did not deny. The immediate resignation leaves seven months left in his term that will now need to be filled by a special election. New York Rep. Antonio Delgado has also announced he will leave Congress to be the state’s next Lt. Governor but has yet to announce the date of his departure. That vacancy will also need to be filled by a special election, and with New York’s primary just being split into two dates, the state has a busy election season ahead.

Responsibilities of these offices include: - Providing voter registration forms - Assisting voters in completing the forms - Transmitting completed forms to the appropriate election official All aspects of voter registration must be accessible - You may request assistance from a poll worker or receive assistance from a person of your choice with the following exceptions: - your employer or an agent of your employer - an officer or agent of your union - Your assistant can help you in all parts of the voting process, including in the voting booth. - You can show your ballot privately to an election judge to check that it is correctly marked. - Helpers are not allowed to influence your vote or share how you vote with others. - A poll worker cannot force you to accept assistance. Minnesota uses OmniBallot to make voting accessible for voters with print disabilities. The absentee ballot request form is available in Large Print. After filling out your absentee ballot request form, you may contact your county election office and tell them you wish to receive an alternative ballot. If you have additional questions or need assistance, please contact your county election office. Federal law requires polling places to meet minimum compliance standards for individuals with special needs. - The Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of 1984 (VAEHA) requires accessible polling places in federal elections for elderly individuals and people with disabilities. Where no accessible location is available to serve as a polling place, voters must be provided an alternate means of voting in person on Election Day. - The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) requires at least one accessible voting system for persons with disabilities at each polling place in federal elections.

Minnesota’s minimum requirements for accessibility include: - At least one set of doors must have a minimum width of 32 inches if the doors must be used to enter or leave the polling place. - Any curb adjacent to the main entrance to a polling place must have curb cuts or temporary ramps. Where the main entrance is not the accessible entrance, any curb adjacent to the accessible entrance must also have curb cuts or temporary ramps. - Where the main entrance is not the accessible entrance, a sign shall be posted at the main entrance giving directions to the accessible entrance. - At least one set of stairs must have a temporary handrail and ramp if stairs must be used to enter or leave the polling place. - No barrier in the polling place may impede the path of persons with disabilities to the voting booth. - At least one parking space for persons with disabilities, which may be temporarily so designated by the municipality for the day of the election, must be available near the accessible entrance. - The doorway, handrails, ramps, and handicapped parking must conform to the standards specified in the state building code for accessibility by persons with disabilities. If you want to check that your polling location meets these standards or find an alternative polling location, contact your local election official. Minnesota uses four types of accessible ballot marking machines. They are listed below, and linked to short videos explaining each: Each machine differs slightly, but all of them can do the following things: - Allow selections by touching the screen (if applicable) or pressing braille keys on the keypad. - Read the ballot to you through headphones, while you mark the ballot with the braille keypad. - Allow you to turn the screen off for privacy. - Warn you about making ballot marking errors, such as voting for more than one party's candidates in a partisan primary election. - Print your choices on the ballot. You can find more information on which ballot marking machines will be at which specific polling places on Minnesota’s Ballot Marking Machine Page.

This Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota panel will shed light on the efforts to use international law to challenge systemic racism, why it failed, and how groups are carrying the torch of the movement that was launched 70 years ago this month.

A really irritating one. OK. I shouldn’t complaint because I don’t subscribe to the Northwest Herald. That’s a valid point of view. But within the last week a translucent yellow ad has popped up as I go the NW Herald web site. And yesterday a friend pointed me that way for an article by David Fitzgerald on how Carpentersville District 300 wasn’t balancing its check book while it was asking for a 55-cent real estate tax hike, plus scores of millions in borrowed money. So I go the NW Herald’s web site. Then this ad pops up. Sure, one can close it, but it takes a click. I’m asking too much, right. Internet advertising is what is going to keep the NW Herald alive, even if circulation and print advertising doesn’t. but I’m not even going to click on the Foxfire Fest ad to find out where it is.
