The Montgomery Bus Boycott was an important episode in the U.S. civil rights movement. The campaign began when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The boycott resulted in the Supreme Court ruling that Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses was unconstitutional.
What was the Montgomery Bus Boycott?
Asked by Erin Bode
The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which took place from Dec. 5, 1955, to Dec. 20, 1956, was a civil rights protest during which many African Americans refused to ride city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, to challenge the segregated seating laws. The boycott came four days after Rosa Parks was famously arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the bus.
The boycott, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., proved to be very effective, and on June 5, 1956, a U.S. District Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that Alabama's racial segregation laws for buses were unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld this decision on appeal.
How did the Montgomery Bus Boycott propel Martin Luther King Jr to fame?
It was mainly Rosa Parks that got famous from that!
What was the cause and effects of the Montgomery bus boycott?
The Montgomery bus boycott began in response to Rosa Parks' December 1, 1955 arrest for refusing to give her seat to a white man.
The original organizers were Jo Ann Robinson, an English instructor at Alabama State College and President of Montgomery's Women's Political Council, and E. D. Nixon, President of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP.
On December 4, they called a meeting of community leaders to discuss holding a one-day boycott of Montgomery City Lines, Inc., bus company. During the meeting, the group formed a new alliance, the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), to which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was elected Chairman and President. Dr. King subsequently became the leader of the civil rights action that lasted 381 days, resulting in a US Supreme Court ruling (Browder v. Gayle, (1956)) denouncing segregation as unconstitutional.
What helped protestors win the montgomery bus boycott?
The majority of bus riders were African Americans committed to the boycott. and they didnt have a sense of smell thoughtout the region of error. in 1956 there was a nobody who becAMCE SOMBODY THE END LOL
What caused the Montgomery bus boycott?
Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955, for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. Ms. Parks was well-respected within the African-American community, arousing outrage at the way she was treated by the bus company and police. African-American community leaders, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., met to discuss the situation on December 4, and planned a one-day boycott of the Montgomery public transit system for December 5, 1955. What started as a one-day event eventually stretched 381 days, until December 20, 1956, as the community determined not to ride the buses again until they were integrated.
Rosa Parks unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of the segregation law in the Alabama state courts, where the appeals process threatened to drag on for years.
Local attorneys Fred Gray and Charles Lang ford consulted with NAACP Legal Defense Fund attorneys, Robert Carter and Thur good Marshall, whose successful campaign against segregation in education lead to the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954). Carter and Marshall suggested choosing a new group of plaintiffs who had been discriminated against and abused by the busing company.
The resulting suit, Browder v. Gayle, (1956), resulted in the Supreme Court affirming the US District Court for the Middle District of Alabama's ruling that the bus segregation was unconstitutional.
When did the US Supreme Court end the Montgomery bus boycott by declaring segregation on public buses unconstitutional?
The case Browder v. Gayle, (1956) challenged the state of Alabama and city of Montgomery's segregation policy on intrastate bus travel that resulted in the 1955-56 Montgomery bus boycott. Although Rosa Parks was not a party to the case, her December 1, 1955, arrest for refusing to allow a white man to take her seat was the catalyst for both the boycott and the Browder case.
The US Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the US District Court for the Middle District of Alabama in the case of Browder v. Gayle, on November 13, 1956, and declared segregation on buses unconstitutional. On December 20, 1956, the city of Montgomery received a court order mandating integration.
Case Citation:
Browder v. Gayle, 352 US 903 (1956)
How long was the Montgomery bus boycott planned to last?
The boycott was originally intended to be a one-day protest, beginning and ending on December 5, 1955, but there was so much participation Martin Luther King and the other leaders decided to continue until the buses were integrated. The boycott ended December 20, 1956, after the Supreme Court declared segregation in public transportation unconstitutional and the District Court issued an order mandating desegregation of the city buses.
How long did the Montgomery bus boycott last?
The Bus Boycott was inspired by Rosa Parks, when on 1 December 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, she was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man because she was tired, and her feet hurt.
It began on Monday 5 December 1955, and ended on December 20, 1956, 381 days, or nearly 13 months, later.
It was started by the Montgomery Improvement Association (M.I.A) which Martin Luther King Jr. was president of at the time. It was Martin Luther King's first Black Rights job.
Who organized the Montgomery bus boycott?
The Montgomery bus boycott began in response to Rosa Parks' December 1, 1955, arrest for refusing to give her seat to a white man.
On December 4, they called a meeting of community leaders to discuss holding a one-day boycott of the Montgomery City Lines, Inc., bus company. During the meeting, the group formed a new alliance, the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), to which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was elected Chairman and President. Dr. King subsequently became the leader of the civil rights action that lasted 381 days, resulting in a US Supreme Court ruling (Browder v. Gayle, (1956)) denouncing segregation as unconstitutional.
What day did the Montgomery bus boycott begin?
The Montgomery (Alabama) bus boycott began Monday, December 5, 1955 and ended December 20, 1956, 381 days later.
Was the Montgomery bus boycott a turning point for the civil rights movement?
Absolutely it was. Not only was it the first time black people showed solidarity in their cause for civil rights, it was cripplingly expensive to the bus companies as most of their riders were black women taking the bus to mostly housekeeping-type jobs out in the "white" suburbs. White women, faced with having no domestic help that they were used to, were often reduced to going to collect their help, because the only alternative to the bus for many of the black women would be to walk. They had no cars. Whether the bus companies themselves applied political pressure I don't know, but faced with almost certain bankruptcy I would suspect they were lobbying long and hard.
What is a short summary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a protest by the African-Americans about the buses in the Montgomery area.
The buses had a policy that white people sat at the front and African-Americans sat at the back. The African-Americans were angry because they couldn't walk through the White's 'zone' and that they had to pay at the front of the bus, get out of the bus and then get back in through a rear door. Sometimes the bus driver would drive away before they could get back in.
The start of it began when outrage occurred when Rosa Parks, an African-American woman, was arrested for not giving up her seat for a white man. (She was next to the window, so there was space).
African-American Leaders got together and said to the African-American population to boycott (not use) the buses for a day, but it was more of a success than they thought it would be. The boycott lasted for 381 days (a bit more than a year), until the US Supreme Court said segregation on buses is unconstitutional and ordered a change.
Who led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott?
Rosa Parks did.
How did the montgomery bus boycott help the civil rights movement?
It helped all the black people get freedom! **Not only did the CRM help black people, it helped other disenfranchised groups obtain various rights, most notably women (of all races). Other subsequent...
What was used to discourage the protesters involved in the Montgomery bus boycott?
Violence against the boycott leader
Arrest of the boycott leader
Appeal of a federal court decision supporting the boycott
What year did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lead the Montgomery bus boycott?
Dr. King lead the Montgomery bus boycott from December 5, 1955 until December 20, 1956, when the city of Montgomery received a court order forcing them to integrate the bus system.
When did the Montgomery Bus Boycott end?
The Montgomery bus boycott ended on December 20, 1956, the day the city of Montgomery received a court order mandating integration of the buses. The boycott began on December 5, 1955 in reaction to Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man. In all it lasted 381 days.
Did Martin Luther King Jr lead the Montgomery bus boycott during the Civil Rights Movement?
Yes. The boycott was inspired by Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat to for a white man on December 1, 1955.
How did the Montgomery bus boycott begin?
The Montgomery bus boycott began on December 5, 1955, four days after Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man. Although the boycott was originally planned to last only one day, the organizers of the boycott, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., decided to extend it until the practice of public transportation segregation was outlawed. The boycott ended 381 days later, on December 20, 1956, the day the city of Montgomery received a court order demanding immediate integration of the buses.
Where did the Montgomery bus boycott take place?
The Montgomery bus boycott took place in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955-56, in reaction to Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the organizers of the boycott that lasted 381 days.
What is a poem about Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott?
Rosa was a little tired after work in December
She hopped on the bus, a ride to remember
Paid in the front, and boarded in the back
Rosa got herself a seat, but the bus was packed. A man thought he had more right than her to the seat that she sat in
She was a little tired from workin'
and very tired of being judged, by the color of her skin
Rosa wouldn't get up, so they threw her in the slammer
This happened a lot down in Montgomery, Alabama But she was well known in the African American Community
Used to work for the President of the NAACP
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the pastor of a local church
Called a meeting and said, the only way to fight is for
no one, to ride the bus to work.
She believed that "Quiet Strength" was the "Pathway to Freedom" It took a year for the Supreme Court to agree with her
Segregation on transportation is unconstitutional
In the land of the free, separate can't be equalMother of the Civil Rights Movement
She wears the crown
Standing up for her rights just by sitting down
Rosa Parks, can't you see you changed history
As a nation we are grateful for eternity Like a rose, your lesson grows more and more each day
The bus you rode has miles to go but we are on our way to be free
One woman holding a candle in the dark
and her name was Rosa Parks
What was the purpose of the Montgomery bus boycott?
The purpose of the Montgomery bus boycott was to end racial segregation on the city bus system in a non-violent way, by creating economic hardship for the company. When African-Americans in the city of Montgomery, Alabama stopped riding the buses after Rosa Parks' arrest, ridership decreased by 80%. The bus company stubbornly held its ground, however, because they expected local police and politicians to disrupt the civil rights protest and dismantle the informal taxi system created by the African-American community. Both the city and the bus line hoped to coerce African-Americans into riding the buses instead of changing their segregation policies.
The boycott finally ended after 381 days, when the US Supreme Court held segregation in public transportation is unconstitutional in the case Browder v. Gayle, (1956).

You know when sometimes you come across something so good you never want it to end? Like seeing your favourite band play live in concert, or the perfect first date, or a huge scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day?! Every once in awhile I come across a show on Netflix Canada that is just so good, I never want it to end. But as Nellie Furtado would sing "All good things come to an end, end, come to and end, end….." – sniff, sniff.
There are a few shows which are no longer playing on Netflix Canada like Friday Night Lights (it's so much more than a football show – trust me!) and Sons of Anarchy (worth watching just for the eye candy that is Charlie Hunnam) or Parenthood (seriously I dare you not to cry, and cry even harder when the show ends) which are definitely in my top shows of all time list (so please please please Netflix Canada bring them back!) and I would encourage you to purchase or rent them elsewhere.
Shameless – I wrote about Shameless in my last post, but it is soooo worthy of another mention and one of the best cringe-worthy dark dram-edies I have ever seen.
Offspring – Season 7 was just added this past month after a torturously long wait! Nina has a wardrobe to die-for (and which has inspired several of my fall boot purchases!) and neurotic personality to match, and her family of crazy characters make for 7 seasons of ups and downs and laughter and tears.
Being Erica – Do you ever wish you could go back in time and fix major regrets? I love this CBC made show and in fact I first watched it so many years ago that I could almost watch it again and have it feel "almost" like the first time again!


Who is Padre San Vitores?
He was the mentor of San Pedro Calungsod, a martyr, a Spanish priest that died while converting the native Chamorros into Christians.
Now beatified. And I'm playing him in San Pedro Calungsod the musical.
I really think we look alike, do you agree?
So I think I was casted because of the looks, my accent and my performing skills.
So excited to play this character together with a very young cast working for Redlife productions. A company specialized in biblical characters.
The lead role is played by Philippine TV and singing star Gerald Santos. So fans of Gerald, stay tuned!
Next performance will be September 13 2015 at Lasalle Dasmariñas Cavite – Philippines.
Call the school and ask if there are tickets left!

Don't expect McConnell's Paradox to help news publishers get real money out of Google and Facebook
Republicans and Democrats are (surprisingly!) teaming up to help news organizations negotiate with the tech giants. But it's unlikely to have a substantial impact on the dysfunctional relationship between publishers and platforms.
By Joshua Benton @jbenton Jan. 8, 2020, 12:05 p.m.
In political science, Fenno's Paradox holds that Americans generally hate Congress — but tend to like their own local member of Congress.
In media, there's no fancy name for it, but it's well established that people generally hate "the media" — but tend to like their local newspaper just fine.
Mash those two together and you can create a third rule of thumb: Members of Congress love to talk about how much they hate "the media" — but they tend to be happy to send a little legislative help to their local newspapers back home.
Call it McConnell's Paradox.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has agreed to cosponsor a bill that offers antitrust relief to American newspapers (and other news publishers) who want to negotiate en masse with Google and Facebook. Here's Bloomberg:
The Kentucky Republican added his support to the bill on Monday, according to Congress's website. The legislation would grant publishers a four-year exemption from antitrust laws so they could negotiate financial terms with the tech giants that often serve as a gateway for readers and online advertisers.
McConnell's support arrives as the companies increasingly come under fire in Washington on issues ranging from privacy to election interference. They have also been accused of controlling too much of the advertising market, to the detriment of news outlets who rely on the companies to reach advertisers and their audiences.
The bill, which has seven Senate supporters in total, was introduced by Senators John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, and Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat. A companion measure in the House was introduced by the chairman of the antitrust subcommittee, Democratic Representative David Cicilline of Rhode Island, and the Judiciary Committee's top Republican, Representative Doug Collins of Georgia.
Last month, two additional senators, Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, and Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican also signed onto the legislation.
Who would have thought it'd be an issue around media regulation that brought all these D's and R's together? Especially at a time when opinions about the media are one of the clearest fissures between left and right, anti-Trump and pro-Trump.
You've got a few factors converging here.
First, you don't have to be much of a cynic to note that every member of Congress has newspapers back home, and that a lot of them make endorsements in congressional races.
American newspapers have been historically quite successful at getting carveouts in the law that benefit their businesses. They've gotten themselves declared exempt from sales taxes, encoded inflexible requirements for legal advertising in law, and benefitted from substantial postal subsidies.
You can argue that these are civic-minded, policy-driven state subsidies of important local information sources. Or you can argue they're the spoils of the political power that comes with influential endorsements. You pick! But either way, it's not hard to imagine why a Rand Paul — he of "Rand Paul literally flips off media after debate firestorm" and "Rand Paul and the media: No love story" headlines — would be willing to get on board.
(Actually, he's proposed ending all antitrust enforcement, so this isn't out of character for him.)
Second, disdain for the tech giants has become an oddly bipartisan affair, if not always for the same reasons. On the left, Elizabeth Warren wants to break up Google, Facebook, Amazon, et al.; on the right, Josh Hawley thinks that maybe they should just be stricken from the face of the earth. So a bill that pushes back against Big Tech is in everybody's sweet spot.
What would the bill do? Here's the Senate text. It defines "news content creator" broadly ("any print or digital news organization that (i) has a dedicated professional editorial staff that creates and distributes original news and related content…(ii) is commercially marketed through subscriptions, advertising, or sponsorship"). So if we buy a few Facebook ads promoting this story, Nieman Lab counts.
But it defines "online content distributor" — the bad guys — narrowly ("any entity that (a) operates a website or other online service that displays, distributes, or directs users to news articles, works of journalism, or other content on the internet that is generated by third-party news content creators; and (b) has not fewer than 1,000,000,000 monthly active users, in the aggregate, of all of its websites or online services worldwide"). A billion MAU is a big number; that'd include Google, Facebook, and (depending on how you interpret "online services") maybe Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft.
The bill gives those publishers a four-year exemption from antitrust laws "for engaging in negotiations with any other news content creator…to collectively withhold content from, or negotiate with, an online content distributor regarding the terms on which the news content of the news content creator may be distributed by the online content distributor." For that exemption to hold, the terms they negotiate must be "available to all news content creators" — so newspapers can't work out a deal just for themselves that wouldn't also apply to Bustle — and "nondiscriminatory as to similarly situated news content creators."
So publishers could get together and say: "Hey, Google [or Facebook] — you suck. You need to pay us $X to include us in Google News or Google Search [or the News Feed or the News Tab or Watch]. And if you don't, we'll all withhold our content from you."
To which a tech company could then say: "Sorry, we're just organizing the world's information to make it universally accessible and useful [giving people the power to build community and bring the world closer together]. We don't pay every site on the Internet for the privilege; indexing web pages and displaying headlines are both definitely fair use. Get behind a hard paywall if you want off the open web, byeeeee."
Based on Google's experience in Europe, it's hard to believe either company's response would be anything different. (Oh, and they might throw a few million bucks the industry's way, too, for "innovation.")
Is the threat of a bunch of news sites going Benedict Option on Google and Facebook in unison credible? Even if every single newspaper in America agreed to — would local TV stations? Would BuzzFeed or Vox Media or Vice? How about CNN, Fox News, or ABC/NBC/CBS News — each part of giant conglomerates that do lots of business with Google and Facebook in lots of different ways? Would The Washington Post or The New York Times, which have built successful subscription models happy to take in lots of top-of-funnel traffic? How about NPR, other public media, or nonprofit outlets that either don't run advertising or don't rely on it heavily?
No matter how many major publishers stepped away, surely there'd also be lots who'd see "suddenly being a top source of news on Google" as an attractive proposition. And almost by definition, people who get a lot of their news via Google and Facebook are people who don't have a lot of loyalty to any particular news brand. Would they miss those publishers when they're gone?
Publishers today get around 85 percent of their external traffic from Google or Facebook, and around 40 percent of all traffic. Is everyone going to be okay giving all that up as a sort of ersatz mass labor action? Any news site that doesn't want to be on Google can deindex itself today; they don't.
I get it — publishers want to put pressure on the guys with the money, and this is one more arrow in their quiver to do that. The bones that Google and Facebook have thrown the industry's way — not particularly meaty ones, mind you, but bones nonetheless — have come as a direct result of government and industry pressures in Europe and the companies' concomitant desire to head off similar pressures back home.
But the reality is that news content isn't nearly as important to Google and Facebook as publishers think it is. Only about 1 in every 25 News Feed posts contains any "news," defined broadly. Google's ad dollars come from people's searches about products, not Iran or Trump. A news product can be useful to tech companies as a way to keep some users coming back. But there's a reason that Facebook's new News Tab is hidden behind a bunch of taps and submenus — it's just not core to their business.
So even if an antitrust exemption for news is what ends up bringing all of Congress together for a few hours of Kumbaya, don't expect it to make much of a difference in the long run. Maybe that's the real McConnell's Paradox: The issues that draw surprising bipartisan support are often the ones that won't have much of an impact.

He brushed off concern about what he described as a ''soft tissue'' injury as if he was eluding a would-be tackler in the open field.
''Nothing in particular that happened, nothing major, nothing to worry about,'' Montgomery said.
It's only preseason, so teams will tend to be more conservative with injuries, especially when a key player is hurt. It is too early to tell whether he will be available for the preseason game on Saturday at Washington.
But now Montgomery is purely a running back, and he's the veteran with three rookies behind him on the depth chart. There is a lot for everyone to pick up in the running backs room.
''They can certainly learn from each other,'' Bennett said.
''Some of the plays that you're never getting in on are getting called because you're bumped up now. Getting a little bit more reps, so you get to get in a groove. Just learn a little bit more,'' Jones said about the opportunity for more carries.
In the meantime, the young backs will continue to learn the nuances of the NFL game together, bouncing ideas off each other and helping to correct each other's mistakes.
''Chemistry was one of my best classes and in real life chemistry is one of my best traits. So I have a lot of good chemistry with a lot of good people, so I don't lack in the chemistry field.'' - part of the response from TE Martellus Bennett when asked about developing chemistry in the preseason with Rodgers.
Rookie safety Josh Jones, the team's third-round pick, hurt his right ankle in practice, though the injury does not appear to be serious. ''I'm not too concerned, I think he'll be OK ... unless something changes, but I think he'll be OK,'' safeties coach Darren Perry said. The hard-hitting Jones appears to be in line to play a key role off the bench in the secondary.

Video Ad: "Let President Trump Do His Job"
Posted by William A. Jacobson	Wednesday, August 16, 2017 at 8:30am | 8/16/2017 - 8:30am
Message echos comment I reported from a Democrat frustrated media "won't let Trump do his job"
A month ago I reported on a conversation I had with a lifelong Democrat who also was anti-Trump.
The conversation was remarkable because while the person still dislikes Trump, he was frustrated with how Democrats and particularly the media were trying to prevent Trump from doing his job, Media overplaying its anti-Trump hand – statistics and an anecdote about a lifelong Democrat:
…I had a conversation today that anecdotally supports how out of touch the media is.
The conversation was with someone I've known for almost 20 years. He's a lifelong Rhode Islander and Democrat who has expressed strong hostility to me toward Trump in the past. We speak every couple of months, and I've never heard him say a good word about Trump.
The political part of the conversation started by him asking me how the blog was going, and how we must be busy with all the Trump stuff. I was non-committal, something along the lines of "sure, things are always busy." I fully expected a truck load of anti-Trump stuff to be dumped on me next. But that didn't happen.
He then volunteered how frustrated he was with the media, and how they "won't let Trump do his job." He said he still doesn't like Trump, but was very angry at the media particularly the Russia coverage. He said (paraphrasing), give me a break with that meeting, if someone offered any campaign dirt on their opponent, of course they'd take it. The conversation continued for several minutes along the same lines, but he kept coming back to Trump not being permitted to "do his job."
It's just an anecdote. But it's meaningful to me because this friend was the last person I would have expected to have such a reaction to media coverage of Trump.
That friend must have been onto something, because that concept of the media and Democrats not letting Trump do his job is the focus of a new ad from the Trump (2020?) campaign, as John Hinderaker at Power Line reports:
We truly have entered the era of the permanent campaign. The 2020 election is more than three years away, and President Trump has already released his first ad. I suppose the ad has in view not only Trump's re-election, but also the fact that the Democratic Party press doesn't want to cover the administration's accomplishments, preferring to obsess over Trump's foibles and non-existent scandals. The ad seeks to remind voters of Trump's record so far, which is, in fact, impressive ….
These sort of polished ads typically would be the result of messaging research, both as to what concerns people and what messages have an impact.
It doesn't really surprise me that a pro-Trump ad hits the theme of "Let President Trump Do His Job." That concept is something I hear from a lot of people. It's just so obvious that the media and Democrats' agenda is that if they can't bring Trump down completely, they will freeze him and prevent him from getting anything done.
As if to prove the point, CNN is refusing to run the ad, as USA Today reports:
President Trump's re-election campaign said CNN had blocked its latest campaign ad, accusing the network of censorship. But the network said it has not rejected the ad.
The ad in question blasts Democrats, the media and career politicians. Additionally, it implies that members of the media are "the president's enemies." During a voiceover using that phrase, the ad features clips of journalists, many of whom work for CNN.
Campaign executive director Michael Glassner said millions of Americans support the president because of their "complete mistrust" in mainstream media.
"Today, CNN provided further proof that the network earns this mistrust every day by censoring President Trump's message to the American people by blocking our paid campaign ad," he said in a statement. "Clearly, the only viewpoint CNN allows on the air is CNN's."
Glassner called CNN's decision "censorship."
"This will not stop or deny our message that 'President Trump's plan is working' for the American people," he said.
I think a lot more people understand this than the media thinks, including many people who don't necessarily support Trump.

If Trump can't do his job, it is his fault. He is narcissistic, incompetent, easily distracted, thin-skinned, ignorant, indecisive and lazy. Face it – he is a grifter and a fraud.
The Russia investigation isn't stopping him from doing anything he wants to do. The problem is that he doesn't know what he wants to do and he doesn't know how how to do it. Just look at his staff and cabinet. They come and go. They war with each other.
On top of that, the article is contradictory. You claim the media is somehow stopping him from doing his job and then you list his 'accomplishments'. I think the only thing he has accomplished is to appoint judges because all he had to do is pick them from a list provided by the Federalist Society.
Of course he is running re-election ads. That is all he is capable of doing. That is all he wants to do. He goes to campaign style rallies and soaks in the adulation. All he really wanted to do was win the election and stick it to Obama and anyone else who ridiculed him.
Helen | August 16, 2017 at 10:02 am
Yellow Snake, whatever.
YellowSnake | August 16, 2017 at 10:04 am
Powerful argument
healthguyfsu | August 16, 2017 at 10:28 am
It hisses and thinks it's a powerful argument deserving of a better response. I can assert random conjecture too without sourcing or objectivity that easily refutes your drivel.
President Trump gets a lot of stuff done; one can point to objective accomplishments that everyone here loves to watch you squirm and squirt about. Those objective accomplishments aren't contradicted by the observation that he could get more done without the media and stall tactics of the left. Bye bye fabricated contradiction, which would be obvious to something capable of critical thought without devolving into basic binary logic.
Your crap doesn't balance the scales despite your little internet hero fantasies.
YellowSnake | August 16, 2017 at 3:04 pm
So you think I "squirm and squirt".
If he is getting so much done, what is the point of the article? I guess we are all supposed to shut up – like you guys did when Obama was in office.
As far as proof goes, we are all still waiting for Trump's investigators to get back from Hawaii. I guess they found it so nice, they settled down.
Barry | August 16, 2017 at 12:15 pm
yellowbelly is an ignorant piece of progtard crap. Paid to sit on any conservative site and try to spread the progs propaganda. A communist murderer like all the other communist / socialists throughout history with a death toll greater than 100 million. That's yellowbelly.
Ignores the most amazing accomplishment of almost any presidency in our history – turning around a moribund economy that under Obama averaged 1.55% growth. That's right, 1.55%.
Newest Fed prediction is 3.8% under Trump, taking less than a year to turn it around:
https://www.frbatlanta.org/cqer/research/gdpnow.aspx?panel=1
I am not now and never have been a communist.
Factual – Trump is narcissistic, incompetent, easily distracted, thin-skinned, ignorant, indecisive and lazy. Anyone who isn't a partisan hack can see that.
narcissistic – he gets 2 reports, daily, with favorable clippings
easily distracted – watch him answer a question and fail to stay on point
thin-skinned – follow his tweets after anyone criticizes him
ignorant –
who knew that healthcare was so complicated?
Everyone, but him. He ran a business. Don't his employees have health care that he or a subordinate negotiated? He ran 3 casinos with union staffs. Did he know what was in the contracts he signed?
indecisive – How many positions did he have on healthcare? Didn't he celebrate the House bill and then call it mean? Didn't he say he would let it fail? Didn't he say that maybe they should just do a repeal.
lazy – he has played more golf in 6 months then Obama played in 1 terms and he criticized Obama for playing too much. What did he personally do to get the bill passed? His tax plan was 1 page long!
BTW Barry, you live in a fantasy world where people like you think they actually know things – perfect fodder for Trump.
The actual growth rate projected for 2017 is 2.1-2.2% http://www.businessinsider.com/fed-summary-of-economic-projections-june-2017-2017-6

Today it's eleven.
Trump is our Lincoln? LOL – not even with a top hat and a beard.
Antifa goons? I guess you missed the part where a guy photographed wearing alt-Right paraphernalia drove a car into a crowd and injured 20 and killed 1.
I'll bet you already have a poster of the 'Dear Leader' and I'll bet the 'Dear Leader' managed to make a profit on it.

That is ad hominem

DanJ1 | August 16, 2017 at 9:49 am
I've mentioned this before but it is evolving. I have an acquaintance who is the first Liberal I have ever been able to maintain a dialogue with that didn't end with them heading for their safe space after throwing out multiple expletives and claims of racism and lies. Two years ago he was an avowed Liberal Democrat. As the collusion between Hillary and the media progressed he became a Johnson Liberal. After the election and the Russia fiasco he became a Liberal only and at this point has lost most of his friends in the process. Now he looks at the Dem party leadership and sees people that do not look or think like him anymore. He looks at what Trump is doing and realized that this is exactly how he thinks. This past Friday, he revealed that he is a Trump fan. He wished he had voted for Trump and will vote for Trump next time. He stated exactly the above, that he's sick of the media and the Dems taking every opportunity to slam the President. He's still a Liberal through and through, but now he's officially a Trump-loving Liberal Republican. His words, not mine. The Dems are in a world of hurt coming up in 18. They still think that Hillary's "I'm not Trump" is a winning political platform.
Yes, Trump can win elections. He proved that. But can he govern – apparently not.
DanJ1 | August 16, 2017 at 12:26 pm
Time will tell YS. Five vacant seats were filled by Rewpublicans who refused to denounce Trump in spite of record spending by their Dem opponents and an "I'm not Trump" platform. I don't have to recite the statistics but Obama was only good at getting one guy elected in eight years. He found it impossible to work with both Repubs and Dems in Congress, you'll remember, and he turned over the phone and the pen to Trump. Everyone here will agree, time will tell my man.
Trump and reps can win elections. The deck is stacked. MT gets as many Senators as CA. Historical note – that was a compromise to the states heavily dependent on slavery.
I said he can't govern. But I did miss one very important fact of life. His cronies are dismantling the regulatory structure. I am sure you are celebrating. But if you have progeny or are planning on it, you will eventually sing a different tune.
DieJustAsHappy | August 16, 2017 at 10:43 am
All things considered, I find it remarkable what has been accomplished and the areas of continuing focus by President Trump and his administration. From The White House website:
For Presidential Actions to include Executive Actions, Presidential Memoranda, and Proclamations use this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions
For Legislation to include Pending, Signed, and Vetoed (there is none) use this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/legislation
For Major Issues to include America First Energy Plan, America First Foreign Policy, Bringing, Back Jobs And Growth, Making Our Military Strong Again, Rebuilding America's Infrastructure, Repeal and Replace Obamacare, Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community. and Trade Deals That Work For All Americans use this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/america-first-energy
And, with North Korea backing off, even if only for the time beginning, I'd say all this is rather impressive. With a cooperative Congress and much less biased media (I know. Pipe-dreams.), I wonder what else might have been accomplished.
n.n | August 16, 2017 at 10:44 am
This is almost sufficient reason to back off on response in kind. Unfortunately, most leftists and other establishment types are apoplectic that collateral damage from elective procedures (e.g. wars), redistributive change (e.g. progressive debt, Obamacare), and CAIR (catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform) will be exposed to public scrutiny.
Federal reserve predicts growth rate of 3.8%.
You know, that level of growth the progtards like yellowsnake said were not possible. The growth rate the nevertrumpers said was not possible.
Turned it around in < 1 year. Without busting any budget.
Thanks to President Trump.
Totally ignored by the lame stream media, but a couple of weeks ago the national debt clock was moving backwards for a while.
Welcome to the Second Civil War.
We're in it. The left are the rebs, and Trump is our Lincoln. McConnell and Ryan are ahead of themselves: they're our Quislings. The likes of our trolls are part of the alt0-left street mob.
Deny that, and you'll wind up like citizens of pre-war Germany waking up one day and wondering how their lives were suddenly governed by the Nazis – but this time, Antifa goons will drag you out of your home in the middle of the night. (They're already breaking store windows – next will be 'Jew!' signs on businesses; with the likes of BLM and rasmin Odeh, we're close to that.)
The likes of Le Bron James will be on posters glorifying our new "dear leader." (Ironic that this 'hands-up, don't shoot!' This idiot followed his own advice in the finals.)
SDN | August 16, 2017 at 10:38 pm
"McConnell and Ryan are ahead of themselves: they're our Quislings."
Look up the term "Copperhead".

I love those old Cork Oak Trees.
Suffice it to say I now treasure each of those light-as-a-feather, purple-stained corks that pop from my wine bottles.
Worldwide, almost 13 billion wine corks are produced each year. How many of those stoppers do we recycle?
I don't know! I couldn't find a statistic indicating how many end up in landfills, but the number must be startling — which is a shame since corks can be reused in creative ways and recycled into other products, like flooring and bulletin boards. Once those Cork Oak Trees have given of themselves so I can enjoy a delightful glass of red, I must sheepishly admit I throw most of mine away. Or I did until now.
I've found numerous ways to give those gifts of nature new life. Reuse or recycle — it's up to you.
Custom plant markers. Just write the plant's name on the cork using a dark marker, and add a skewer to create crafty labels for your herbs and veggies.
Hand-crafted earrings. Slice 'em thin, stamp a design, and glue backs to them. Et voila! One-of-a-kind earbobs.
Wine cork magnets. Cut those corks in half, glue on a magnet, and hold your kid's artwork on the frig in style.
An armchair. No, really! Check it out on our sister site, Sustainablog.
Cork Forest Conservation Alliance, formerly Cork ReHarvest. This organization collects and recycles corks, but it also educates consumers about the importance of the cork forests, in its campaign to preserve and protect the forests, their inhabitants, and the biodiversity they support. Check their site for drop-off locations, or just meander into your newest Whole Foods Market — all their U.S., Canada, and U.K. stores participate in this program.
ReCORK, a natural wine cork recycling initiative started by SOLE, maker of sustainably-focused footwear, wants to turn your used corks into shoes — or at least parts of them. They also want to shed light on the environmental importance of cork forests. As a wine drinker, use their search engine to find a drop-off location near you. As a business, partner with them to help the cause.
Yemm & Hart Green Materials. This Missouri-based manufacturer of materials built with recycled content, wants you to send your used natural corks to them so they can recycle them into cork flooring, walls, and other building materials. Simply send your stash (prepaid) to 425 North Chamber Drive, Fredericktown, MO 63645.
You're never too old to learn new habits — like recycling those wine corks instead of tossing them. You in?

Seekers of the Word prepares for new season
October 13, 2017 by Brian Sweet
Seekers of the Word introducing themselves at their performance entitled, GPS.
Seekers of the Word performed its show titled "GPS" Sunday night in Cullen Auditorium.
Seekers of the Word is a drama ministry that performs humorous and dramatic skits with Christian values for students and local youth ministries across Abilene and elsewhere. Seekers include students from different majors who want to share the message of God through drama. Auditions take place each fall.
"God, People and Self" was the original name for the show, said Sarah Dillinger, junior secondary social studies major from Pittsburgh. During one of Seekers meetings, someone noticed the acronym was GPS and they decided to use that for promotion.
"All of our skits are written by Seekers and are based upon a Bible verse," she said. Members "meet up and look through the current skits we have, pick several and then order them in a way that the audience's emotions and energy flows from one skit into the next."
Seekers doesn't perform just on campus; they reach out to youth groups from different churches in and around Abilene to plan performances at their locations as well.
Lindsay Stivers, a psychology and youth ministry senior from Coppell, serves as the Seekers public relations officer and reaches out to youth groups in the area.
"Essentially my job is to find and plan performances for us," she said. "I'm in communication with a lot of churches in and out of the Abilene area. A lot of times we will look for new opportunities for performances. So basically, my job is to reach out to churches and find new performances and getting that all planned out for us."
Dillinger said being in Seekers is "amazing."
"I have been in this group since my freshman year at ACU and the members have become a family to me," she said. "I am proud of our performances and in the hard work each member puts into practice. I love that this group is God-centered and dedicated to showing God's messages through the medium of acting."

Q: What is the Purpose of Import Modules Without Export or Consumption within File I have seen this following pattern within index.js file and I am left scratching my head. What would be the purpose of the following code below, considering:

*

*The imported module is not being consumed within this module/file

*There is no export of the imported module
The following code is all there is within the index.js file (yes, just one line):
import '../modules/index.js';

To elaborate, the index.js file is importing from '../modules/index.js'. That is it, there is no other code within the file whatsoever.

A: The only reason I'm aware of where one might want to do an import without utilizing anything imported is when the imported file has some form of side effect that happens simply by evaluating the code, such as defining a global variable. In this case, simply importing the code will cause that code to be run. If you can indicate more about the contents of modules/index.js we might be able to get to a more defined answer of what's happening in this case.

Keysight Technologies released the results of the Keysight 2018 State of 5G survey, which reveals that companies primarily invest in 5G technology to secure market leadership, meet customer demand, and take advantage of flexible and scalable networks.
The Keysight 2018 State of 5G Survey shows more than half (54 percent) of companies surveyed are already adopting 5G technologies with 46 percent citing securing market leadership early in the 5G lifecycle as the primary driver for their investments. And, more than two thirds of respondents said they are actively seeking 5G test solutions to accelerate the development or rollout out of 5G technology.
Most respondents (63 percent) of the Keysight survey expect higher reliability and lower latency to create the biggest impact from 5G technology. These aspects are important to address new business opportunities. Respondents indicated that the top three benefits of implementing 5G technology are faster networks, greater IoT enablement, and connected car proliferation.
By leveraging new and existing technologies including wider bandwidths in millimeter-wave frequencies, massive MIMO and virtualized networks, 5G will deliver a multitude of benefits to meet customer demand across a wide range of vertical industries.

Apple's CEO Reveals Apple TV+ App will Launch Mid-May, that Apple Arcade will Offer 100 Exclusive Games and more
On April 14, Patently Apple posted a report titled "In their War with Google Play, Apple is Spending Big Time on their upcoming Video Game Service." The report noted that Apple had spent several million dollars on each of the more than 100 games that have been selected to launch on Arcade, with its total budget likely to exceed $500 million.
The report further noted that Apple was offering developers an extra incentive if they agree for their game to only be available on Arcade, withholding their release on Google's Play app store for Android smartphones or other subscription gaming bundles such as Microsoft's Xbox game pass. Apple's main ambition with Arcade is to win back the advantage in games that it used to hold over Google Play. During yesterday's Financial Conference Call Apple's CEO confirmed and highlighted this very point.
Tim Cook on Apple Arcade: "We also previewed Apple Arcade, the world's first game subscription service for mobile, desktop and the living room. With over 100 new games, all with no ads, or ad tracking, no additional purchases and respect for user privacy, we've created a service for players of all ages, kid to teens to adults and one that families can enjoy together. The App Store is already the world's biggest gaming platform and we think Apple Arcade is a great way to unleash the creativity of the game developer community with a collection of new games not available on any other mobile platform or in any other subscription service. We can't wait for our customers to experience it for themselves beginning this fall"
Tim Cook on Apple TV+: "We were thrilled to provide a peak at what's new for TV. Beginning in mid-May the all-new Apple TV app will bring together the different ways to discover and watch shows, movies, sports news and more in one app across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, Smart TVs and streaming devices. And users can subscribe to and watch new Apple TV channels like HBO, Showtime and Stars. Paying only for services they want all on demand available on and offline. And coming this fall, Apple TV+ will be the new home for the world's most creative story tellers, featuring exclusive, original shows, movies and documentaries."
Apple filed for their new Apple TV app icon trademark on April 26 in Hong Kong
Tim Cook on WWDC 2019: "We're excited as ever about our great pipeline of hardware, software and services and we're looking forward to sharing more information about the future of our four software platforms and out World Wide Developer Conference now less than five weeks from now.
Everyone here is hard at work to prepare for WWDC and it's always a privilege to get to share the future of our platforms with a community of world changing developers who bring it to life. You are not going to want to miss this one."
While promoting their WWDC is what a CEO is supposed to do every year, there was something in Cook adding "You are not going to want to miss this one." Maybe I'm a little bored with Apple of late and I'm reading more into this than I should, but Cook's emphasis on WWDC 2019 gives me hope that Apple fans may be in store for a big surprise. The optimist in me says, we can only hope.

cute scrap paper makes me swoon.
plus the whole dry erase board thing is brilliant.
so many uses which i love and it gets to also be really adorable.
the only thing i need now is better handwriting.
i can't even handle how much i love this paper.
i NEED my home to be filled with Scripture.
i am so weak. and i love pretty reminders.
God is good all the time. it's helps when my day is surrounded by his Goodness.
so this one isn't a dry erase board but it's so sweet and cute.
right by my closet so i'm reminded of how dearly loved i am by my Maker.
the frame was already painted the perfect grey color so all i did was add burlap & paper and i used pencil to write the word "beloved"
i need to add outlet covers to my to do list, too.
i bought the frames from a friend and the rest i already had at home.
now you want to make some too, don't cha?!
