(No question mark at the end because it’s didactic, not really an inquiry. She knows the answer and she’s going to instruct us out of her infinite wisdom and years'long expertise, including two such losses.) On Twitter, the actor James Wood offers a visual of the reasons she proffers, feigning regret that he was not included. If you think Woods was exaggerating, here’s an edited video of her interview with Diane Sawyer.

Such legal claims have been criticized as part of a “cottage industry” of “serial plaintiffs” who target mom'and'pop establishments for quick cash settlements. But others see the suits as helping enforce the American with Disabilities Act. Wheelchair ramps and bathroom doors are not the only battleground. Two blind New Yorkers have taken the fight online, filing a combined 23 suits against business Web sites that didn’t have screen'reading software for the visually impaired. And a woman cited seven businesses for not allowing Sun, 17 23 2017 10:23:14 GMT http://www.Lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=922966 c577b392e10fa4c9c33423a14e883cfd34e30a77 National Review Online, by Kevin D. Williamson Posted By: Pluperfect- Sun, 17 23 2017 10:23:14 GMT Wimpy strikes again. Everybody knows the Wimpy proposition: “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” In the old Popeye cartoons, no sensible person gave Wimpy a hamburger in exchange for his promised future payment. Wimpy was a bum, and everybody knew it. They sure as hell did not make him president. Offering credit is the definition of a risky business, and learning to hedge your risks is both an art and a science.

They regarded Chelsea as a, well, here’s the headline on the press release about Manning from the ­Institute of Politics: “Class includes first transgender Fellow.” First question: Was she to be a Visiting Fellow, or a Visiting Felon? Second question: Has Hasty Pudding Theatricals stepped up to grab Chelsea off waivers from the Kennedy School? When Chelsea’s ­appointment was announced, Harvard’s press release described Manning as a “network security expert and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst.” Is an Sun, 17 11 2017 10:11:33 GMT http://www.Lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=922964 7b9716699879a94191c877f8d60032f371c5f56f Washington Examiner [DC], by Eddie Scarry Posted By: MissMolly- Sun, 17 11 2017 10:11:33 GMT If it weren´t for their sick obsession with race, the national media would have next to nothing to talk about. The October issue of The Atlantic magazine features a long essay by Ta'Nehisi Coates on President Trump being &#34;The First White President,&#34; a lament about the shame Americans should feel in electing a white man after a black one. It´s been heralded by Coates´ media peers as a &#34;blockbuster&#34; and something to &#34;admire,&#34; since it goes on and on about racism and nothing else. Legitimate reasons voters had for choosing Trump are legion (the suffocating politically'correct culture, immigration, Hillary Clinton´s laugh) but Coates Sun, 17 59 2017 09:59:40 GMT http://www.Lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=922963 5a9da8d624146097aa4cbaf31c08eb9b0b64ccfc PJ Media, by John Ellis Posted By: MissMolly- Sun, 17 59 2017 09:59:40 GMT Yes, you read the headline correctly. In the latest example of identity politics taken to its absurd end, three Australian college professors believe that &#34;Playful urination practices – from seeing how high you can pee to games such as Peeball (where men compete using their urine to destroy a ball placed in a urinal) – may give boys an advantage over girls when it comes to physics.&#34; The three professors didn´t publish their thoughts on a satirical website like The Onion.

Oh, what a difference a year makes. Now it’s President Trump who is doing bipartisan deals with congress and trying to rally the world against North Korea while Clinton is embarrassing herself and her party with a sore'loser blame game. It’s time to reverse the normal and abnormal labels. The remarkable contrast between the 2016 foes these days is more vindication of the outcome, and helps explain why he won and Sun, 17 40 2017 09:40:40 GMT http://www.Lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=922961 3830eab7a0c9e63f5d15d4f4eeffe017ade3069d Associated Press, by Jim Salter and Summer Ballentine Posted By: Pluperfect- Sun, 17 40 2017 09:40:40 GMT ST. LOUIS '' Protests turned violent for second night near St. Louis following the acquittal of a white former police officer in the fatal shooting of a black man, as a small group of demonstrators refused to disperse, breaking windows at dozens of businesses and throwing objects at police, who moved in with hundreds of officers in riot gear to make arrests. The confrontation took place late Saturday night in the Delmar Loop area of University City, a suburb about 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of St. Louis near Washington University.

Warner Posted By: JoniTx- Sun, 17 03 2017 09:03:38 GMT When the Trump administration decided two weeks ago to halt DACA (for minor children of illegal immigrants) applications and allow six months for Congress to pass legislation that addresses the issue, a new round of political fighting was unleashed. Utilizing the constitutional process unveiled the sharp divide among Republicans concerning this issue and has shown that the leadership of the establishment are closer to the Democrats than to their electoral base. Donald Trump might still find a way to get immigration off the table as a wedge issue.

President Trump has been convinced to abandon his revolutionary program of putting “America First,” and has decided to play footsy with globalists like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.There have been signs since before Trump took office that he was not dedicated to accomplishing the goals he promised—whether that was building the wall, repealing Obamacare, cutting off funding for Planned Parenthood, lowering taxes, leaving NAFTA, or many more.[SNIP]The final nail in Trump’s and America’s coffin may be his decision to become the stepfather to President Obama’s illegal executive order establishing Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals.

Juggalos can be easily identified by their distinctive black and white face paint and numerous tattoos. However in 2011 fans of the group were designated a “loosely organized hybrid gang” in the FBI’s 2011 Gang Task Force report. Juggalos claim that since then they have been “subjected to various forms of discrimination, harassment, and profiling simply for identifying as a Juggalo.” Thousands of Juggalos are expected Sun, 17 17 2017 04:17:39 GMT http://www.Lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=922957 83649c4872c519c90c52191b31e6eae28b732060 Daily Mail [UK], by Mark Wood and Sanchez Manning Posted By: Ribicon- Sun, 17 17 2017 04:17:39 GMT The transgender issue is the most sensitive in Britain today, sparking passionate debate among equal'rights campaigners. But now that passion has erupted into the sort of outright violence normally associated with football hooligans. Two factions – the Trans'Exclusionary Radical Feminists (or so'called TERFs) and their bitter enemies Trans Activists – clashed in an unseemly bust'up that ended with a 60'year'old woman being bundled to the ground and punched in the face. The incident was caught on video and is now being investigated by the police.

Several people took to Twitter to physically show they did not approve of the apparent flip flopping by setting their Make America Great Again hats on fire. He angered some of his supporters again when he reportedly discussed a deal with Democrats regarding immigration. The official details are still unclear, but AP initially reported this included not building a wall. Trump has denied this.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials lodged what is known as a detainer request for Jesus Perez'Araujo, 24, after he was arrested three months before the Aug. 15 street killing of 23'year'old Abel Enrique Esquivel Jr., said ICE spokesman James Schwab.

Instead, she was confronted with an awkward and stern handshake from the President who told her ´thank you´ before ushering her off to the side, muttering: ´You go and sit down now.´ Their interaction, deemed ´bizarre´ for a husband and wife by some, took place at Joint Base Andrews on Friday afternoon.

They might go away for a while but eventually they come back with ugly pus-filled sores that itch, fester and ooze. They´re painful and embarrassing. Hillary Clinton is like that. Just when we thought she´d gone away, she´s flaring up worse than ever. She has a new book out, for which she´s started tours. You have to pay money to come to the book tour to hear her pitch this book that she wants you to pay money to buy to read about what a generous person she is. We shouldn´t be surprised.

(Snip) Speaking with the Financial Times in an interview publicized on Thursday, Ivanka acknowledged that she and her father do not always see eye to eye politically, but added that her role as a member of her father’s “team” obliged her to express dissent behind closed doors. “To voice dissent publicly would mean I’m not part of the team,” Sat, 16 43 2017 11:43:05 GMT http://www.Lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=922948 ca946e812e54662f7c53909d3a9a550b453a3716 Newsbusters, by Melissa Mullins Posted By: Dreadnought- Sat, 16 43 2017 11:43:05 GMT Scott Roxborough of The Hollywood Reporter writes that American television series are facing international backlash due to their “military themes for Trump voters,” calling it a trend for the Fall lineup and labeling it “Patriotic TV.” Apparently, they feel shows like CBS´s SEAL Team, NBC´s The Brave and The CW´s Valor are a blatant attempt to appeal to Trump supporters. Now that would be a shock. Roxborough believes &#34;the shift in focus is threatening one of the most lucrative aspects of the American TV business: international sales.

Before the outbreak of Syria´s conflict in March 2011, the UNESCO site was one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Middle East and attracted over 100,000 visitors a year.
