36 Gigabucks in fraud? Dig harder or dig in another place…
Cause there's a much more massive gap between what was reported to us as the cost of the war as late as oh. let me see... Last Week, where the cost of the War on An Amorphous Emotion Peopled By Shadowy Dark Skinned People In Far Corners of The Empire was "set" at being somewhere more than a Trillion dollars.... and the amount that doesn't seem to be accounted for. Which is estimated at between 5 and 8 trillion. How does 8 Trillion anything just up and piss-a-deer? I published an analogy of what a trillion dead mosquitoes would look like in one place, it would be a hill of mosquito meat about as tall as the Capitol Dome. Perhaps one reason the money is "unaccounted" is because the accountants work for the Thieves. Such as one Richard Cheney, who recently as in a couple of days ago did another interview on NBC. Regarding him being not responsible for the massacre of the poor known as the "response to Hurricane Katrina". Irresponsible? yes. NOT responsible? Hell to the no. His company, Halliburton, from which he didn't divest at all when he became the President of Vice, took the greatest share of the funds sent into the Magic Hole Which Makes Money Disappear. Using no-bid contracts administered by... Vice President Richard Cheney. Halliburton, by the way, is a company organized strictly for theft. It's what they do and they're very good at it. I know using the word "good" while describing that particular nest of snakes (my appologies to real snakes and other reptiles) makes it Instant Oxymoron, but that's one of the gaping holes in the Modern English Language. They have sucked America dry and built themselves a private island resort off the coast of Dubai, UAE. Let's break momentarily from Trashing The Trash, in other words talking smack about the thieves, and remind our audience what the term Trillion means as opposed to Billion. When you multiply anything by a thousand, that's when the name changes. "Mil" as in million means "a thousand" and in that case means a thousand times a thousand. A Billion is a thousand times a Million. A Trillion is a 1,000 x 1,000, x 1,000 x 1,000. A thousand times a billion, A MILLION millions. Bill Gates had at one time 80 billion dollars in his personal stash, that's less than 1% of a trillion. And approximately 5 trillion is missing. The largest circulating bill in U.S. currency is the $100. Each weighs a gram. It takes ten kilograms of $100 bills to make a million dollars, and that's the smallest physical pile of currency that would possibly make a million dollars. It wouldn't be like in the movies where somebody carries a briefcase full of money and it's valued, for the sake of poetic license, as ten million bucks. Not so. Ten million would weigh about what I do, 220 pounds. You would need a suitcase so big you would have to check it at the airport, not carry on luggage,
"conservative" Pentagon budget includes NASCAR
No, really, the "Conservative" TeaPotty and Republitards have voted to continue funding sponsorship of NASCAR teams as part of their "Recruitment" budget. Yep, get the kids into the Murder Machine any way they can. So-Called conservatives don't even care about their own kids. Much less anybody elses' kids. Hell, they see a kid and they reach for their AK 47. Why do Republican TeaTard Minutemen Klan Militia members Hate American Kids? Why do they hate the English language so much that they continue to call their greedy overfed herd of Hogs "conservative" when it's obvious they conserve absolutely NOTHING? Leaving alone "patriotism" and "freedom" and "morality" and "family values" and Christianity. Just a bunch of babykillers as far as I can see. Why don't the NASCAR drivers go into the military, seein' as how they're so all fired up about going to other countries, taking everything from the people and killing anybody who objects? (especially the kids, them Republicans sho' does love them some babykilling) Couldn't possibly be that they're not healthy enough, they brag all the time about being Professional Athletes. Then again, so does Rush Limbaugh's equally Chickenshit brother David. Guess they're as skilled at lying as they are at being Gutless Wonders.
Proof Positive that Privatized Parochial Education is Inferior.
The Colorado Springs Christian Schools is hosting a fundraiser, $250 a seat at the banquet, in April, where they intend to award George W Bush, Decider-in-Thief, the Lion's Heart Award. They're giving that cowardly murdering PUKE a medal for being "Courageous". And to add Blasphemy to Insult, they're doing it in the name of Christ. Why not have our own banquet, across the street from The Broadmoor, (of course it's the Broadmoor) invite him to receive the Horses-ass award, serve ChickenHawk Supreme and weenies. I bet he would be too yellow to come to that banquet. Maybe if CSCS actually focused on REAL education rather than Fascist Indoctrination, they would realize that one thing Richard Coeur de Leon and GW have in common is being sponsors of State Terrorism, bankrupting their home countries to fight Middle East wars involving babykilling , torture, murder of prisoners of war and other War Crimes. What they don't have in common is Richard Lionheart actually put his own life on the line to commit his murders. Not necessarily brave, murderers never are, but at least he wasn't a craven coward like Bush.
Jeep declares war on intellect.
They're sponsoring Call of Duty:whateverthehellnumber : BlackOps. In the Jeep commercial they show screenshots of a Black Jeep SUV in some tropical location that exists only in the imaginations of the designers of the game, who never got closer to actual war than speeding up as they passed the Army Recruiter's office on their way to a College Republicans meeting. Call of "Duty"? BlackOps is not very discrete code for Murder, Kidnap and Torture, in other words, REAL terrorism funded and backed by a massive military industrial complex. Of which the manufacturers of Jeep are a proud member-group. BlackOps is not anybody's "Duty" it's a pleasure romp for people who enjoy killing and enjoy torture and enjoy the feeling of helpless victims fearing them. The sick bastards who play the game on their computers in their Moms' basements and fantasize killing are only slightly less sick than the ones who go out and commit the actual Murders, kidnaps and tortures. Or the political bastards who order the Terroristic BlackOps strikes. Games like that destroy your own capacity to think rationally, it's a downward spiral into being the formerly human equivalent of a mechanical drone. THEY push your launch buttons and aim you toward their target, as intelligent and free and human as a simple bullet.
I guess they couldn't pass the physical…
Gratuitous plug for Endless War by the Country Music Awards just a couple of minutes ago. Something about "Wounded Warrior" being always in their hearts. Yeah, right. It's one thing for burnt out AlterKokkers like Ted Nugent and Merle Haggard getting up on stage and telling people that if they were only 50 years younger they'd go in the Army in a heartbeat and offering to have their bodyguards beat up anybody who questions their stupid shit. When 20-somethings, under-40 somethings who haven't pickled their feeble brains and could easily get in even if they have to take a waiver on the physical, moral or psychological parts, that's just STUPID and they should realize that no amount of chanting "9-11! 9-11!" or similar WEAK-ASS bullshit will make people think they really did wish they could go. John Wayne- "gee, I wish I could have gone over there and kicked Hitler's Ass or Tojo's Ass but couldn't pass the physical But the most highly decorated American of WW2, Audie Murphy, was too short not only for the draft but also for enlisting. Very famous case and all the John Wayne supporters who want to back up the lies of their big "brave hero" can look it up on their way to kissing my ass. ChickenHawks of a feather do flock together. A partial list: Mike Huckabee Mitt Romney, Lame-ass excuse for sending other people to murder for him "Exempt from the draft due to Mormon missionary service which conveniently ended as soon as age knocked away the 1-A draft rating". But not exempt from actually enlisting. There ARE Mormons who actually did enlist including chaplains. Wouldn't have chaplains without a need for chaplains, like, other Mormons forming a congregation, right? Every one of Mitt Romney's worthless sons. Their excuse: "we have more important stuff to do like making sure our Chickenshit ChickenHawk dad gets elected president" When the CS. CH. Daddy lost early in the primaries, of course his Big, Healthy, Brave Sons went straight to the Recruiters office... yeah, right, and enlisted right alongside John Wayne and Ronald Reagan. Ted Nugent, what a wiener err "winner", did a magazine interview later where he boasted that he had, prior to the physical examination, shit his pants then didn't change or bathe for a month in order to convince the doctors that he was crazy. For some reason, it worked. Now he threatens to beat up or machine gun anybody who dares to mention that he supports war, supports baby killing, just as long as he doesn't have to take the risks. George Bush, "Scooter" Libby, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowicz, Richard Cheney, Liz Cheney, Jenna-and-Barbara Bush, Jeb Bush, Rush "I had a pimple in my ass" Limbaugh, Bill "I had a back problem" (a yellowish rash on his spine)O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Todd Palin, and now, the Cast and Crew of the CMA awards. ChickenHawks on Parade. Look, if you're going to take a stand against joining the military, Take a God-Damned REAL Stand. Peter Coyote took a stand where he
When they say, what they mean
When they say "Your problem is that you can't accept orders" What they mean "My problem is that I can't accept you not obeying MY orders" More thorough translation, the person is a Drama Queen who believes he has such extraordinary Leadership potential that if you don't follow him it couldn't possibly be some failure of his "ability" to lead. Therefore it must be YOUR fault. When they say "You're stupid/ignorant/lazy/crazy/an idiot" What they mean is How DARE you question my obviously superior intellect and judgment by not instantly agreeing with me?" Drama Queen again, if he completely fails to con you into believing whatever bullshit he's selling, it's obviously not HIS fault that he's not a good enough liar, it's YOUR fault for not being gullible enough. When they say "When was the last time YOU were in Iraq?" What they mean is Only those who commit the crimes are capable of understanding why they committed the crimes and therefore nobody else is qualified to pass Judgment on their crimes" Further Drama Queen. Especially when taken with the other two, he means also that people who don't have the experience of Killing in a war, like George Bush, Richard Cheney, Karl Rove (who actually used the word "courage" in the title of his book) Paul Wolfowicz and other Chickenhawk draft-dodger/slash/war profiteers like the dumbass propagandists at Fox, are allowed to agree with his assessment that the war is a good thing, killing is a good thing, lying about it is a good thing. But people who don't have the immediate experience of Murdering Kids aren't allowed to criticize. We're allowed to agree, not disagree. But then there's those of us who Don't Follow Such Orders.... And, when we don't, the wannabee dictators go from Zero to Drama Queen in a matter of seconds. It's entertaining in its own way. When they say "hippie, commie, marxist, socialist, lefty, liberal, fag, nigger-lover, bleeding-heart, do-gooder" What they mean: "We're stupid enough to believe that calling anybody anything other than Right Wing Freak is somehow an insult and will prove Our Bullshit Case and make you hippies shut the hell up!" Again with the Drama Queen notion that they're so superior that anybody who doesn't conform to their program is by necessity an Inferior Non-Person. And that it couldn't possibly be that their "superiority" doesn't actually exist or anything like that.
America Wins! Tea Party LOSES!
One of their congressional whiners, from Michigan: "The American people know you can't reduce health care costs by spending $1 trillion or raising taxes by more than one-half trillion dollars. The American people know that you cannot cut Medicare by over one-half trillion dollars without hurting seniors," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich. (as though the lying hypocrite ever gave two shits about seniors or the deficit) "And, the American people know that you can't create an entirely new government entitlement program without exploding spending and the deficit." (unlike the current over ten trillion deficit with more to come from an "entitlement program" for the Oil and Coal corporations and the War Industry billioniares) You see, the Daddy WarBucks DeathMongers and their partners in the Oil Industry, they're entitled to take any oil resources in any country they want, tax free (on their part) and the American People are obligated not only to do their fighting for them, we have to pay for their Wars of Conquest as well. As for their so-called concern for "Seniors" their party has sucked Medicare and Social Security funds dry to fund THEIR War. They've repeatedly robbed Social Security trust funds for the past three decades and campaigned not only against any increases in health care to the older Americans who rely on it, but against the very institution of Medicare in the first place. Rush Limbaugh vowed two weeks ago that he would leave the country if it passed... Wow, you think for once he'll keep his word? Bye, Rush, nice seeing you(r back as you're leaving) and don't you worry none, if them thare Costa Rican Peasants ever rebel against you and your equally Fat Retarded Friends, you know you can always count on your Dittoheads to come and fight for you, just like you and your Fat-ass retarded brother did in Vietna... ooops... Never Mind. When left for the ChickenHawks to do anything like that, you're screwed.
Karl Rove admits error in Iraq strategy
by Brother Jonah - March 2, 2010 March 2, 2010 0
ERROR? wtf? Since when, exactly, does a long string of bald-faced Lies work out as being mistakes? Saying something is orange when it's actually red is a "mistake". Losing count of how many beers you drank before getting behind the wheel is a "mistake". Voting for Bush once would be a "mistake" and twice would be unspeakable stupidity, (or Complicity). Underestimating the strength of the will of Human Beings to not be conquered, murdered and robbed might be a very large and stupid mistake, but once it's been pointed out that it never works and has historically FAILED every damn time, then it becomes Sheer Arrogance to push on with it. Not a "mistake". After being warned, calling everybody who warned you "Traitors, Idiots, Moonbats, Bleeding Hearts, Deluded, Crazy, Terrorist Sympathizers" and so forth, then having your collective nose rubbed in the big steaming pile of your own "mistake"... and then pushing on... that's not a "mistake". That's, in the case of sending Americans to kill and die for your money and your arrogance, Treason. And Murder. Thousands of counts of Capital Murder just for the American Soldiers, made airtight Capital Murder by the Patriot Act and several Executive Orders that Karl Rove wrote. Any one count of a serviceman murdered by their treasonous actions would get the entire Bush Administration including Rove and their Ministry of Propaganda Fox News HANGED. Much as I'm opposed to Capital Punishment, I believe I'd buy tickets to the event. Then there are the murders of Iraqi and Afghan and Somali and Sudanese and Pakistani and Uighur and Filipino and the list goes on Civilians and Prisoners of War, Each one of them an act of Capital Murder by reason of it being Terrorism. And again, through the definitions provided by Rove and Jeb Bush and Condi Rice and their fellow PNAC Imperialists. Which one would be a Mistake?
More people who do not muchly good speak the English tongue…
ren�e�gade ?/?r?n??ge?d/ [ren-i-geyd] �noun 1. a person who deserts a party or cause for another. 2. an apostate from a religious faith. �adjective 3. of or like a renegade; traitorous. Synonyms: Traitor, Snake, Turncoat, Oath-breaker, Treaty Breaker. John McCain on Press the Meat this morning, sponsored by a Wall Street Powerhouse, Edward Jones Investments. Lying his arse off about how he's bipartisan on the Health Care bill when he joined every single one of his (R) Comrades in voting against it. Apparently in Renegade Republicanspeak, "Bipartisan" means the Democrats have to suck much Republican Ass. Ran as a "Maverick" which doesn't mean anything like "not one of the herd", it means steers claimed by a notoriously lazy Texas free-range rancher named John Maverick. Who didn't bother to brand or earmark any of his steers, just the lead cows. Any Steer or cow following them would be just a part of "His" herd. The Wall Street Bankers who sponsored today's Lie-Fest, their advertisement "If you believe in the Renegade idea of face-to-face with your broker" If you believe your Brokerage is "Renegade" and still deal with them, you really need to deal with the fact that they're going to rob you blind given any chance. McCain's running mate was an idiot from Alaska who also didn't speak English, and didn't know the duties of the job, told a group of schoolkids that it was to "help the senate make laws". Yeah, right. People who don't know the basis of American Law, the Constitution, shouldn't presume to MAKE Law. She also runs with a group of Straight Up Racist Pukes who insist that English be not only the official language of the United States (we don't have an official language, by the way) but that it be the ONLY language spoken. They wish to bring the days back, when Immigrant kids, or Native American Kids, or Native-American-Kids-Whose-Names-And-Primary tongue are Spanish and whose families were not only here during the Spanish territorial days but Many Centuries Before an Italian Mapmaker who had never been to America, Amerigo Vespucci, put his name to two continents and a bunch of offshore islands (Actually the islands FIRST)... These kids, even in the 60s when I was first going to school, would be Punished for speaking their non-english languages on school grounds or even the school bus. The more radical members of "English First" would have it that people not be allowed to speak their own languages even in their own homes. They say that not having English as your first tongue hinders your development in school. Where they get that tainted statistic is beyond my ken. The largest population who don't graduate High School and more importantly don't graduate Primary School are people who don't speak ANY language other than English, and that very poorly. This kind of outright Jingoistic Stupid Racism would give that freak on the bus (and there's always one at least) who demands that two Spanish speaking or Polish speaking or Navajo speaking kids (actually it's a dialect of Athabascan, and
Remember the horrendous scandal and the Media Blitz(es) That followed?
Mark Sanford, Governor of South Carolina... Used government money to finance Argentine Tryst. A full Seven Hours every day for a month analyzing the story and berating him.... woops didn't happen... Sorry. Senator Larry Craig, (R) Idaho (I da pimp! bad joke) practicing the unsafest of all Sex Acts, random anonymous sex, in a Mens Room at the Minneapolis Airport, Married, family man, cheating on his wife. They followed him everywhere, then when he disappeared they staked out his boat, his house, his mom's house and his kids school trying to get pictures of him... ooopsie... That didn't happen either. Bob Allen of Florida, State Representative, (R) in a men's room repeatedly, so afraid of Black Dudes raping and robbing him that he followed them into the John and paid them 20 a piece to fellate them... Married, Cheating on his wife... When he went in to Sex Rehab the National Enquirer poked cameras into every opening in the fence looking to catch a picture of him. Nope, not that either... My favorite, Vitter of Louisiana getting caught with his diapers down... He of "Family Values" and Unimpeachable Morals fame. All of them, when they apologized, did so clearly, succinctly and humbly, then submitted themselves to the questions of the repor... Wait a minute. None of them apologized, at all, ever. Since they were all members of the Bu'ush Regime and active supporters of the War Of Terror, their actions DID affect more than just their families and thus, they DID owe America an apology. Not merely for being Sexual Hypocrites, but for the God-Damn 8 year killing Spree "their" troops have been engaged in. That's pretty damn major. All of them made a big hoo-hah over criminalizing Sex between Consenting Adults and de-criminalizing Hate Crimes. (not just the Hate Crimes against gay People either) None of them bothered with Rehab, none of them hounded and their families hounded for what's now 3 Freakin' Months, mon... nothing at all like what a guy who plays the dorkiest game in existence for a living is subjected to. People PAY the government officials for leadership and for being Role Models for their kids. It's one of the Job REQUIREMENTS for Christ's Sake. But a guy who plays a game for a living, is really required to do nothing but smack a very small ball with a very crooked stick into a very small hole that's anywhere between 75 and 200 yards away. And do it consistently. It doesn't matter if they have a messed up politicial, social or personal life. Some of the courses he plays on had never had a Black golfer in any of their tournaments EVER when he started. Some of them at the time still forbad blacks to actually play there, pay to play there, with no chance at winning money. So why the anger? Are they really such shitty parents that they need a middle aged black man who they've never met to be a Role Model for their piglets? Since WHEN? Would they walk into the Midnight
Richard Cheneys Pacemaker, in a bid to save all mankind…
Attempted to quit today. He's in the hospital. I know, I know, morgue would be better, but that'll happen eventually. According to a legend which I just made up on the spot, he actually had been taken to the morgue quite a few times over his Misspent Voyage in this Vale of Tears. He couldn't talk his way out of it, people wouldn't believe him when he said he was still alive. So he hired a doctor and attorney to accompany him everywhere, bars, whorehouses, opium dens, Baby-eating parties... and convince people that he was still alive. Between his uncanny Zombie-like appearance and his penchant for dishonesty, people would simply disbelieve him each time he said he wasn't dead.
Why does Glenn Beck "Hate" the 9/11 families who ask questions?
Certainly can't be that they're "Conspiracy Theorists". His buffoonery about the Health Care Reform being "Government Death Panels" and the Rockefeller Plaza Secret Bolshevik Symbols rants, that kind of set him in a class by himself vis-a-vis Really Lunatic Conspiracy Theories. Maybe it's because the 9/11 Truth-out questions aren't looney from toony. Like, for instance, the Birth Certificate theory. Admittedly, that's pushed more by his Fellow Travellers in the R.W. Lunatic Fringe Rush Limbaugh and Jerome Corsi and the "we're not Nazis, we just use their imagery and tactics and pal around with Neo-Nazi Terrorist Groups like the Klan" Stormfront. The ones who "busted" the supposedly forged Bush service records. Provided to the news outlets by whom? Corsi doesn't say, but he is an expert on forgery, or so he claims. And he was the one who provided the Forged Kenyan birth certificates. But with the Bush documents, the Right Wing Hate-Speechers successfully deflected certain inquiries into their ChickenHawk Credentials, which are impeccable. Any question, for example, of why Rush Limbaughs brother David didn't get drafted, or George Bush's brother Jeb... are met with the whole flock of Right Wing Sheeple chanting "Forged Birth Certificate good, forged Service Records Baaaaaadddd". Glenn Beck and indeed the entire cast and crew of Fox Hate Networks taking tax exemptions, getting paid through the back door, for their "support" for the families of the Military Men they sent to war with THEIR LIES, allegedly donating their own money to the U.S.O. Only, the money they "donated" was given right back to them on their next tax returns. Lying ChickenHawk Hypocrites get paid to cheerlead the For-Profit War which they helped start, by repeating the same LIES told by the Bu'ush Regime Rogue State Terrorists. Send the kids off to war based on their lies, make a profit from it, Lie about supporting the troops and make a second profit from the people who actually DO pay their taxes. Then say they stand for the American Taxpayer. ***Oh, as for Rush's brother and Bush's brothers... There's a draft exemption for people whose brothers had served in combat. That's expanded to "combat zone" even if they never fired a shot. Rush Limbaugh got out of the draft because he had a pimple in his ass. "Anal Cyst" according to his doctor. So he didn't serve in a Combat Zone. His brother many years later, when criticizing Anika Stormgren for playing in a Golf Tournament, said that Pro Golfers such as himself were Well Conditioned Healthy Athletes. So, how does a Well Conditioned Healthy Athlete like himself avoid the draft? If his brother had serv... oh. Same with George Bush Sr buying George (co)W(ard) an exemption from combat duty even though his job specialty (and commensurate rank and pay) has the word "combat" in the description. No Combat Zone, so... How did George HW get his other Chickenshit Chickenhawk son out of the war? And the fact that nobody from the Right Wing makes any pretense of concern that G.W. hasn't actually brought forth any evidence or documentation, even Forged. Maybe Corsi could help him out there. Of course, that's
Coward Ass Romney praising Bush, blasting Obama.
by Brother Jonah - February 18, 2010 0
Remember, he's the one who said he couldn't enlist in the Army because of his missionary duty. Lying puke. His sons, in his campaign, said they had more important things to do, like getting Daddy elected. When he didn't even get the nomination, they didn't join the Babykilling War For Profit that Mr Bush started and they and their Coward Ass Daddy promoted. Like Coward-ass Father, Like Coward-ass sons. Mormon ChickenHawk also said that only the Private Corporations who pay his bribes can save America.
Silly Sarah tries to make political hay from Family Guy episode.
Yeah, right. Mrs Palin, the problem is that Family Guy pokes fun at you and makes references to your Nazi and other White Supremacist ties. Try to wrap it in some kind of concern for the Disabled, your opposition to Adequate Health Care killed any chance at that, babe. Just like your Tantrum Party and you, opposing health care, kill Americans at the rate of 130 a day (generously low estimate) and every single one of them Disabled. Silly Sarah, Presidency is for somebody intelligent. Not a Corporate Suck who chants Oil Company slogans then claims to stand up to Big Oil. We've already recently de-installed one Oil Company Suck, his picture is at the upper left. Your fake concern for Disabled people is as insulting, more so, than any joke on any television show. We don't need your pity, and we don't need your so-called advocacy, and we most definitely don't need your Sick, Murdering Tea Party to be running our country.
OJORE RELEASED! Despite Right Wing propaganda
by Brother Jonah - February 4, 2010 February 6, 2010 1
For instance, the Right Wing "Agenda? We don' have no steenkeeng Agenda" Fox News and their Local Mouthpiece the Pueblo Chieftain had their Best Lurid Headline Yellow(belly) Journalism foot forward with "NJ Man Arrested AFTER making threats on AmTrak" "Facts? We don' need no Steenkeeng Facts!" I bet their Chieftain Headline is going to be "Terrorist Released! Kill The Democrats!" or something similar. Fox News and Local Hate-Speech Radio are already on it. America is infested with Chickenshits. The charges were dropped early this morning. Even the Otero County Pig Department realized they have no real charge on which to hold him. He needs to sue them, and DHS, AND Fox & Friends (them for blatant defamation) AND there need to be FEDERAL charges filed against the Chickenshit punks who made the Bogus Nine-Eleven calls fingering him. If your kids dial 9-1-1 making prank calls, you get a misdemeanor charge the first time, jail time the second and if they do it again afterwards you get felony charges. If you panic over what turns out to be Not A Real Emergency you get billed for the wasted resources. Fox and the rest of the Corporate Media, like NBC affiliate Channel 5 here in Colorado Springs (and Pueblo) who joined in the Howling Pack of Cry-Wolves should rightfully be charged not only with exploiting this case but also every other Non-Terrorist Non-Crime they've hyped in the past, laying the groundwork for a REAL Man spending two weeks in jail because some REAL Chickens couldn't handle the fact that they were sharing a railroad car with a Black man who wasn't the Conductor or the bartender. Like when the Retarded Redneck Coward Eunice Stone did the exact same CRIME by sicking the pigs on a pair of Doctors.
The "difference" between an IED and a land-mine
by Brother Jonah - February 4, 2010 0
Is the difference between a Militia Group (like those commanded by Washington) and the VietMinh or the Taliban "Insurgents" A matter of Semantic Perspective that's vital to propagandists, espicially if the Propagandists don't have anything better. It's the so-called "difference" between "conqueror" and "liberator" , USAF Bomber v Suicide Bomber Decapitation with a sword and decapitation with a .50 caliber round fired frim a Vulcan electric motorized Gatling gun. Waterboarding as War Crime when practiced by the Imperial Japanese Army and waterboarding as "enhanced interrogation" when done by the Imperial American USMC, CIA and DHS. Tianmen Square and the Boston "massacre" or the Honduran "counterinsurgency". The Anschluss and "Regime Change". Genocide against European minority groups and Genocide against American Indians. The list goes on, but the main difference is that Land Mines are forbidden for deployment and the Terrorist States who deployed them mandated to clean them out, destroy them and compensate the Mostly Civilian Child victims of their monstrous use (or their families). In a treaty that the former ChickenHawk President refused to sign on the ridiculous notion that it violated U.S. Sovereignty.... even though the United States doesn't actually deploy land mines or, (as in the case of the terroristic bombing and mining of The DR VietNam, which one of the Major Party presidential candidates from the last election was doing when he was captured) on territory that's recognized as United States Territory. Other than in the Insane Delusional definitions of the U.S. "nationalists" like Bush and his demented disciples. (Special "shout out" to our Homeboys Bob Newman, Dobson and Haggard on that) There are two major parties in our Corporate Dictatorship, one votes as a bloc, no exceptions, and anybody who breaks ranks is called a traitor and shown the door. The "Other Party" currently in the majority in the House, Senate and Executive branch has enough Right Wing extremists, only the Republican Press calls them "moderate democrats" to sway any ratification of the treaty to either vote it down, or have it watered down to a Null Argument, or worse, charge the Children of Afghanistan and VietNam with crimes for destroying United States Government Property by exploding "our" Land Mines. I bet Dobson and Haggard and "Gunny" Bob would love that option. They probably have pictures of little kids with various parts blown off that they use for Porn. "Gunny" Bob is allegedly a Vet, I don't know if he has a collection of human hands harvested from the kids he killed during his "service" but he strikes me as That Type. Yeah, that's confrontational. So is calling the Quakers "Terrorists" because they dared to ask His Royal Lowness to stop lying, and published detailed lists of "Gunny" Bobs lies. A paid Right Wing Propagandist like him would appreciate the "Difference" between a Land Mine and an IED.

Rupert Hall: Pioneering historian of science and editor of Isaac Newton's letters (Obit)
Next year the Royal Society will be celebrating its 350th anniversary. We owe much of our understanding of this body and its working to the historian Rupert Hall, who has died aged 88, and his wife Marie Boas Hall.
In 1949, Herbert Butterfield, in The Origins of Modern Science, 1300-1800, summoned historians to take seriously a development he considered at least as important as the Renaissance and Reformation. Hall took up the challenge in his book The Scientific Revolution, 1500-1800 (1954). The title provided a useful label for the changes in approach to the natural world, the new institutions, and the power that new knowledge brought, that distinguish the science and technology of the modern world. The book's range and its accessibility made it a landmark, opening up the history of science for a new generation.
Alfred Rupert Hall (he never used his first name) was born near Stoke-on-Trent and educated at Alderman Newton school, Leicester. He went to Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1938 to read history, but his studies there were interrupted by war service as an officer in the Royal Corps of Signals with the Eighth Army in North Africa and Italy.

I understand that the "video killed the radio star" shift in music media to the masses was revolutionary. And there's a good chance I'm biased, living through one generation while only hearing second hand how the prior generations operated.
But I'm convinced our shift from radio/video star to the social media/youtube/performance game show star era is SIGNIFICANTLY weirder.

Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt is a great mod that's been designed to improve the way wildlife looks in Minecraft. Given how much emphasis Minecraft places on exploration, the wildlife of the game feels rather lackluster because there really isn't that much animal variety, to begin with, and, on top of this, the animals that do exist tend to look rather mediocre. Thankfully, Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt is a mod that remedies all of these issues in order to make the wildlife of Minecraft a lot livelier. The mod is a sequel to the original Zoo and Wild Animals mod, so it has all the features that its predecessor had but, alongside those features, it implements a bunch of new elements as well that set it apart.
The Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt mod features more than thirty different animals that it implements into the Minecraft world and each of these animals belongs to a different habitat. Players will be able to tame these animals but, on the other hand, if they can't seem to tame a certain animal, then they can capture it as well and place it in their own personal exhibit. Speaking of exhibits, the Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt mod brings a variety of helpful tools and blocks to the table through which players can put together some great look exhibits and, in these exhibits, they can place the animals that they capture.
It's important to remember that some of the animals in the Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt mod can be hostile so you should be careful when you head out into the world in search of an animal that has been known to attack people because you might get caught off guard by that particular animal and lose quite a bit of health. Overall, though, Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt is a top-tier mod that breathes new life into the wildlife of Minecraft.
Added the ability for animals to carry their children.
Added fully configurable spawn configuration file for all zawa animals.
Added more information to the databook when debug menu is open.
Added the ability for animals such as the iguana to leave shadowed areas in search of a warmer spot.
Added the ability for baby animals to display their curiosity by wandering over to dropped items.
Birds will now only lay eggs when on the ground.
How to install Zoo and Wild Animals Rebuilt Mod?
Download the latest mod version and Moons Core for your Minecraft version.
Could you send me the shader download link?
can you please make a 1.13 version?

[email protected]: Celebrating Seven Decades of Asia-Pacific Growth, Development and Security
By Shamshad Akhtar
On this day, 70 years ago, the Charter of the United Nations came into force – hope,rising from the ashes of World War II. For seven decades the UN has driven multilateralism for peace, security, development and human dignity – in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world. Although far from perfect, no other organisation has done more to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war and to promote social progress and better standards of life for all.
Conflicts have been averted. Human rights have been enshrined in international law. Hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty. Primary education has become near-universal. Smallpox and polio have been largely eradicated, and fewer women, men and children die now from preventable causes than at any point in human history.
Many of the greatest impacts of 70 years of UN work remain often unseen, but are at least as important in our daily lives. UN-driven regulations and frameworks facilitate trade and commerce, as well as air and maritime safety. UN-sponsored treaties help ensure the worldwide flow of mail, telecommunications and data. Progress is measured against UN-derived benchmarks. Global energy, food security, and even the acceptable use of our oceans and outer space are all governed by agreements reached under the auspices of the United Nations.
The most important contribution of the UN however has been to prove the power of a single ideal, that no nation can succeed alone. Through its institutional architecture, especially the five UN regional commissions, the organization has fostered regional development and shared prosperity as a way to reinforce multilateralism, demonstrating time and again that cross-border challenges, which continue to grow, require collaboration, integration, coordinationand an unwavering commitment to the wider common good.
No region provides better proof of these efforts than Asia and the Pacific. When the UN was created just four of the 51 founding Member States were from this region – China, India, Iran and the Philippines. Much of the continent was under colonial rule. Standards of living were falling, and post-war infrastructure in many countries was nearly non-existent.
To address these challenges, the United Nations created the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) – the forerunner of the present Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). Over the next seven decades these institutions, supported by the whole of the UN system, have assisted Member States in creating the most economically dynamic and diverse region on Earth.
This growth has come, however, at great cost to our people and planet – with growing resource constraints and social inequalities, which threaten both our social fabric and environmental health. We are – once again – in a time of great turbulence, transition and opportunity, which is why the United Nations remains more relevant today than it has ever been.
The newly adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – anchored in 17 universal Sustainable Development Goals – embodies this renewed multilateral clarity of purpose. Ending poverty and hunger; ensuring education, equality and inclusive growth; acting on climate change and delivering lasting peace and justice – these are the cornerstones of the regional and global future we want.
Key to success in these new Goals will be mobilizing the resources necessary for implementation – innovative finance mechanisms and new approaches to development driven by science, technology and innovation.
ESCAP is also promoting policies that foster regional economic cooperation and integration through closer trade and financial activities; connections that open transportation corridors, link countries digitally and enable access to affordable and sustainable energy; and the ability to build back better from man-made and natural disasters and shocks.
Through the ESCAP intergovernmental platform, we not only engage our member governments but are also working to better harness the power of partnerships, increasing engagement with the private sector, civil society organizations, and growing citizen movements. Bringing this all together will be a system of follow-up and review that strengthens accountability for the well-being of the peoples of Asia and the Pacific.
Seventy years ago Asian leaders had a vision to shape the future of this region. Their focus was on building nations with the support of the United Nations. That same spirit still resonates today. In the words of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "Alongside despair in many corners, there remains great hope in the power of working together. That is the founding spirit of the United Nations – and in this 70th anniversary year, in the face of grave and global challenges, it is the spirit we must summon today."
The author is an Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). She is also the UN's Sherpa for the G20 and previously served as Governor of the Central Bank of Pakistan and Vice President of the MENA Region of the World Bank.

AstraZeneca starts new Zactima lung cancer trial
PharmaTimes
AstraZeneca says that it has started another late-stage trial of its experimental drug Zactima in lung cancer patients as a second-line treatment.
The Phase III trial, called Study 36, will investigate the addition of Zactima (vandetanib), formerly known as ZD6474, to Eli Lilly's Alimta (pemetrexed) as second line treatment for patients with locally-advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of first line anti-cancer treatment. The study will be conducted across 20 countries, including 20 sites in the USA, and is expected to enroll at least 508 patients.
As its primary objective, Study 36 will evaluate progression-free survival with vandetanib 100mg plus pemetrexed 500mg/m2 compared with pemetrexed 500mg/m2 plus placebo in patients with advanced NSCLC, who have previously received anti-cancer treatment.
The study is AstraZeneca's fourth Phase III trial in this tumour and two of the others are looking at Zactima in combination with docetaxel and versus erlotinib. The company will be hoping for some promising data to come out of the studies, given the series of late-stage pipeline blows it has suffered recently, notably with NXY-059 (formerly Cerovive), a candidate drug for stroke and Galida (tesaglitazar) for diabetes.
More job losses for Sweden
Meantime, AstraZeneca also announced that 850 jobs are to go at its Swedish operations as part of its planned reduction of around 3,000 jobs or nearly 5% of its work force over the next three years.
The latest move comes on top of 450 jobs being cut in Sweden this year, which the firm believes can be achieved through retirement and voluntary redundancies. It employs some 12,800 staff in Sweden, 4,500 of whom work in production.
The news comes in wake of AstraZeneca unveiling plans to shed 700 jobs at its manufacturing plant in Macclesfield, UK over the next three years, out of a workforce of around 2,500.

Abstract: As a result of the association of a common polymorphism (rs2231142, Q141K) in the ATP-binding cassette G2 (ABCG2) transporter with serum urate concentration in a genome-wide association study, it was revealed that ABCG2 is an important uric acid transporter. This review discusses the relevance of ABCG2 polymorphisms in gout, possible etiological mechanisms, and treatment approaches. The 141K ABCG2 urate-increasing variant causes instability in the nucleotide-binding domain, leading to decreased surface expression and function. Trafficking of the protein to the cell membrane is altered, and instead, there is an increased ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of the variant protein as well as sequestration into aggresomes. In humans, this leads to decreased uric acid excretion through both the kidney and the gut with the potential for a subsequent compensatory increase in renal urinary excretion. Not only does the 141K polymorphism in ABCG2 lead to hyperuricemia through renal overload and renal underexcretion, but emerging evidence indicates that it also increases the risk of acute gout in the presence of hyperuricemia, early onset of gout, tophi formation, and a poor response to allopurinol. In addition, there is some evidence that ABCG2 dysfunction may promote renal dysfunction in chronic kidney disease patients, increase systemic inflammatory responses, and decrease cellular autophagic responses to stress. These results suggest multiple benefits in restoring ABCG2 function. It has been shown that decreased ABCG2 141K surface expression and function can be restored with colchicine and other small molecule correctors. However, caution should be exercised in any application of these approaches given the role of surface ABCG2 in drug resistance.


Challenges to the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of religion or belief, as well as rising religious intolerance and discrimination, increasingly threaten the ability of people around the world to enjoy their basic human rights.
Recent events starkly demonstrate the urgent need for the international community to comprehensively address this issue. All people, in all countries, of all faiths or none, are affected; the attacks against Charlie Hebdo and a Kosher Supermarket in Paris and the murders in Copenhagen; the murder of Muslim students in North Carolina; the anti-Muslim marches in Germany; the flogging of Raif Badawi in Saudi Arabia; the on-going persecution of Mus- lims and other religious minorities in Burma/Myanmar and in Sri Lanka; the mass executions of Coptic Christian migrant workers in Libya… The list goes on.
In the face of violent attacks such as these, the universality of human rights is often questioned. However, as Human Rights Council resolution 16/18 and the Rabat Plan of Action make clear, the promotion and protection of all human rights, in particular freedom of expression and freedom of religion or belief, is the only way to effectively counter intolerance and discrimination and prevent associated violence.
In spite of the international community agreeing on a "road map" of action in resolution 16/18 and the Rabat Plan of Action, the increased attacks and threats against human rights defenders around the world demonstrate that pro- tection for rights on the ground is backsliding, and the space for civil society to freely operate to work against this trend is shrinking.
Blasphemy laws and broad or vague criminal prohibitions on expression deemed unwelcome by governments, or provisions on "incitement to hatred", are applied to silence minority groups and dissident voices. Minority represen- tatives are denied the platforms to speak out and be heard, further exacerbating tensions. Violence against these groups is often incited by influential public figures with total impunity. Human rights defenders and journalists who attempt to inform the public and question social, religious or political taboos, are also at serious risk.
What global and local challenges do we face in protecting and promoting the rights to freedom of expression, freedom of religion or belief, and non-discrimination?
What more must States and other stakeholders do to translate 16/18 and the Rabat Plan of Action into legal and policy changes on the ground, to counter the backsliding in rights protection?
What must the UN do to consolidate the consensus of 16/18 and support its implementation?


As a brand of Germany-based SOTEC GmbH, Cloudwürdig has provided high quality cloud solutions to customers around the world and is one of the most experienced Google Cloud Platform and G Suite partners in Germany.
With Google Cloud Platform, MeisterLabs can enjoy high performance, high scalability and ensure its customers can keep their data in a secure environment.
"Our infrastructure was in a data center, so we had to do a lot of things by ourselves. It's not the cloud in terms of having virtual machines and moving things around easily. It's physical hardware that you are responsible for. It can be very cumbersome," noted Till Vollmer, the co-founder of MeisterLabs. "So when the cloud emerged, that was very interesting for us. We had a long history with Google, over ten years, and we wanted to stay with them."
In late 2016, when Google announced the forthcoming rollout of new Cloud regions across the world, MeisterLabs knew that it was ready to switch to the cloud. They teamed up with Google Premier Partner Cloudwürdig, and began planning in earnest. Days after Google's German Cloud region went online in August 2017, Cloudwürdig and MeisterLabs began the migration. With 8 million customers, MeisterLabs wanted to minimize downtime so Google brought MeisterLabs into a closed alpha group to test new live data migration features in GCP. Transferring its stack to Google Compute Engine gives MeisterLabs a highly scalable solution to handle its customers demands at all times. Google Cloud SQL provides a familiar, intuitive way to manage the company's databases while Google Cloud Storage holds its data. GCP's networking products like Cloud Load Balancing ensure a smooth experience for customers no matter the server load.
"We are technologists at MeisterLabs, so we do know our stuff. Still, there are always details to figure out during a migration and it's not always easy. Cloudwürdig really helped with all their Google expertise. They set up a workshop with Google where we could ask all our questions and verify our migration plan. And then, during the migration, they provided us with technical help," Vollmer said.
With Google Cloud Platform, MeisterLabs can take care of its customers' requirements without compromising the performance benefits of cloud-based infrastructure. If a marketing campaign takes off, MeisterLabs can provision more servers at the touch of a button instead of ordering, installing and configuring a new physical server. In addition, with Google's sustained use discounts, MeisterLabs estimates that it will cut costs by around 30% compared with its existing data center solution. Once the migration is complete, MeisterLabs will continue looking for ways to optimize its tools with Google. Firebase's collaboration features and Cloud Pub/Sub's automated queueing offer tantalizing prospects for the company. As its business grows, MeisterLabs can trust its infrastructure to grow with it on Google's global network of Cloud Regions.
"Scaling is a big draw for us. It's easier to add and remove machines with Google Cloud Platform. With Google, we can easily scale down on the weekend when we have less traffic. Then on Monday, we can add more servers to meet demand. You can really deliver what people need, when they need it, and still reduce your costs on weekends. At the end of the year, that will have saved a lot of money," Vollmer noted.


We give two Roy's Rants thumbs up for the collaboration between stakeholders and for getting serious about marketing Pottstown to potential businesses and investors. This is a welcome step forward!
POTTSTOWN, PA — Although borough council wasted little time in filling the tax collector vacancy Wednesday night, there are still a few vacant positions up for grabs.
As part of the annual process of filling posts on boards and commissions, council will vote Monday on filling nine open spots, with a 10th vacancy being filled in February.
One seat on the Pottstown Borough Authority is open and two people have applied to fill it. It is currently filled by plumber Aram Ecker, who is seeking a second five-year term. However, newly elected Borough Councilwoman Sheryl Miller has also asked to be appointed.
With Miller's defeat of Jeff Chomnuk for the third ward seat on council, the authority board currently has no member of borough council, a role Chomnuk had filled.
Great feel good story about PHS students who are working with PDIDA as volunteers to keep downtown Pottstown looking great!
Two new members were appointed by Council tonight: one for the Planning Commission and one for PDIDA.
Joe Loftus was appointed by Council to fill a vacant term on the Pottstown Planning Commission to expire February 1, 2013.
Susan Storb was appointed by Council to fill a vacant term on the Pottstown Downtown Improvement District Authority expiring on January 1, 2013.
In other PDIDA news Shiela Dugan addressed Council during the Comments From Citizens Present. Shiela Dugan is the new President of PDIDA after the April meeting when the authority reorganized. Shiela told Council that the fundraising and marketing committees were reorganized, work has begun on this year's 2011 Hometown Holiday Celebration and a merchant mentoring program has been started. Shiela thanked the PHS students in attendance for their two-year commitment to do weekly cleaning around the borough. A half-dozen youth wearing yellow tee-shirts were at tonight's meeting. Shiela stated a check for $300 check was received by PDIDA from a local business.
Shiela urged Council to vote yes on agenda item 7 and approve the matching funds for the DCED grant for PDIDA.
Pottstown Mayor Bonnie Heath stormed out of tonight's Pottstown Borough Council meeting after agenda item 7 did not pass (followed by her husband who made a derogatory remark about Council's collective intelligence). A roll call vote was requested by President Toroney. The vote went as follows: Chomnuk – No, Gibson – Yes, Kirkland– Yes, Rhoads – No, Weand – No, Toroney – No. Councilor Allen was absent.
During the Mayor's lengthy report, Bonnie spent a great deal of time asking Council to vote yes for agenda item 7 which was a resolution authorizing the filing for funds with Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) in the amount of $60,000 for the Main Street, Exit Grant, New Communities program. What this means to the average taxpayer is that by voting yes the Borough of Pottstown would have been on the hook for the $60,000 matching funds if the Pottstown Downtown Improvement District Authority (PDIDA) failed to raise the other $60,000. If PDIDA failed to raise the necessary $30,000 contribution each year, the Borough of Pottstown, by default, would have had to match the DCED grant.
The Finance Committee recommended that Council vote no because there is too much risk to the Borough to move forward, according to Finance Chairman and Fifth Ward Councilor Dan Weand. The confidence in PDIDA's ability to match this grant is very questionable. According to Mayor Heath, PDIDA's assessments would generate $42,000 a year leaving a positive balance for PDIDA of $12,000 each year. Mayor Heath said there is no risk to Pottstown to approve this grant match because the DCED felt PDIDA would be able to match the funding based on their assessment figures.
President Toroney said PDIDA should look more toward volunteerism instead of paying a Main Street Manager. He referenced Pottstown's Riverfront Park as an excellent example of volunteerism. President Toroney also said that Council does support PDIDA and downtown Pottstown, however, in this instance the majority of Council feels the financial risk is too great. Councilor Kirkland said he was confident that PDIDA would be able to raise the needed funds. Councilor Gibson said he supported PDIDA and voted yes for the resolution but did so "hoping" he made the right decision.
The majority of this money goes to pay the Main Street Manager's salary. Frankly, my experience with Mr. Wildrick is that he does not return emails. Other than purple lights on the trees downtown and the Hometown Holiday events in December, did we get our bang for the buck in a year and a half????? Evidently there are four members of Council who have the same question. The other project Mr. Wildrick was working on was a skyline project to outline the downtown buildings like Boat House Row. While this is a cool idea, it might make more sense to have a full downtown before we worry about ambient lighting.
Councilor Rhoads wondered how many businesses downtown are doing well. If a number of businesses close that would hamper PDIDA's ability to generate the sufficient funds to pay the DCED grant match.
President Toroney also stated that PDIDA needs to come up with a vision and a long-range plan. We agree.
Councilor Gibson made the suggestion that PDIDA expand their territory to include more businesses in Pottstown. The example he gave was the High Street Redner's. Redner's makes money and as a company they give money to community projects and events in the form of corporate sponsorships. Councilor Gibson said there are businesses that would love to be allowed to join PDIDA but are outside of their limited territory.
This vote means that unless PDIDA finds private sector funding (which is available) they will not have the funds to pay the Main Street Manager's salary.
My suggestion to PDIDA is that you contact places like Lancaster and York, who have strong downtown organizations, and see what information you can glean from them. I am sure they would gladly be of assistance and would be a wealth of information.
My other suggestion is that Mayor Heath should receive a formal reprimand from Council for leaving the meeting before adjournment. As Councilor Gibson stated, every vote does not go his way but he respects the opinions and decisions of his fellow Councilors and does not get mad about it. Councilors Rhoads and Weand echoed Councilor Gibson's sentiments and were thanked by President Toroney.
Mayor Heath is an elected official who has an obligation to attend these meetings. Because there were only six Councilors in attendance this evening, had there been a tie vote, the mayor casts the tie-breaking vote. By leaving after agenda item 7, the mayor missed the voting for the remaining six agenda items!


Now I know that when people make books into movies, they screw them up most of the time. But I thought that it would fun to tell you guys five books that I would like to see made into movies or TV shows. But, these are books that I would want to be made WELL into movies or TV shows.
I feel like this would be interesting as TV show. Like a Bachelor type situation but with a royal twist and badass rebels. I know that this was optioned for a TV show but it was never actually put into action. You can see that actual script that was written (it did not coincide with the books at all though) online, but I will say that it is definitely not decent for children.
2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
This seems like it would make an excellent movie. A chic flick no doubt, and it would bring in a lot of profit. It would be so emotional if done right.
I wrapped the five books that I wanted to read soon in wrapping paper and then I had someone choose for me one of the packages and the one that I opened, I had to read.
These are the books that were up for grabs.
I am so exciting to be reading this book, I have heard so many great things about it and I hope I enjoy it!!
Sophia Bellamy's family's finances is going under after the death of her mother and her father's awful grief. In a desperate attempt to keep the family house, Sophia is set up to marry a wealthy man she has never met, Rene Hasard. Meanwhile, the Red Rook, a hidden vigilantly, is breaking people out of prison who are sent to death by the Razor, and leaving a single black and red rook feather. When the search for the Red Rook comes to the Bellamy House by Rene's cousin, LeBlanc, things take a bad turn.
Okay guys. Let's talk. I was so confused during this book. It wasn't that it was bad, in fact, I loved the idea of it. I just believe that Cameron really didn't execute it as well as it could've been. There were a couple of parts that I had wondered in the time of reading them why they were included, because they just seemed to be taking up space, but they in fact did have a meaning later in the story.
Thanks you guys I hope that you enjoyed this. I really did. More will be up soon.
Actually I am almost done with this book. I have about 100 pages left so I will get a review out as soon as I finish it.
This book was amazing. The only thing that I did not like about this book was the relationships between some of the characters. It made me angry what Harper did with her boyfriend. She just kind of threw him around and gave lame excuses. I wish that Hawkins would have handled that in a different sense but other than that, I liked the characters.
With plot twist after plot twist it hit you like a bullet. You sat there in awe for a couple of seconds but then you just have to keep reading. The story was an action-packed masterpiece that I refused to put down. I thought that the fight scenes were well done.
Guys I am almost done with rereading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, I have like 80 pages left. And I got a little father into Rebel Belle! Loving Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins so far. At first I didn't like the main character but it makes sense of why she is the way she is.
Book reviews coming soon. Just not for Sisterhood because I was just rereading that for pleasure.
I know, I know. I don't like to read two books at a time, but I just really wanted to read the Traveling Pants. I'm not sure why, I just needed something cute after Legacy of Kings. Speaking of Legacy of Kings, I will have the review up as soon as possible.

Months After Attacking an Officer, Man Enters Family Home and Stabs Puppy to Death with Machete
By Amanda Thomason, Western Journal December 10, 2022 at 9:09am
On the list of crimes Americans find most abhorrent, attacking a police officer and abusing animals are pretty close to the top. One Florida man has now been charged with both within the same year.
On March 18, someone in Hillsborough County, Florida, called to report a man walking along the median of Interstate 4, risking his own safety and that of those using the interstate.
A Florida Highway Patrol officer arrived, determined that the man was 24-year-old Alexander Hernandez-Delgado, and tried to convince him to get into his car so he could escort him out of the dangerous area.
Hernandez-Delgado, who said his mother had kicked him out of the house, responded by growing agitated, resisting and eventually punching the officer in the face, according to KSTU. Some drivers passing the scene at the time pulled over to assist the officer and helped him subdue Hernandez-Delgado.
At the time, Hernandez-Delgado was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence and was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail.
But he didn't stay there, a fact highlighted by a recent atrocity that took place on Dec 1.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was contacted on the evening of Dec. 1 regarding a residential burglary.
"The victim told deputies that they saw the suspect walking away from their home wearing one of their hats," a post by the sheriff's office stated. "The victim also explained that the suspect had eaten food and thrown various items around in the home before leaving."
That wasn't the worst of it, though.
"Through investigative means, deputies learned that the suspect came into the house through a door in the living room that was left unlocked," the post continued. "The victim's puppy was found dead in a crate next to the door."
Hernandez-Delgado apparently used a machete to kill the puppy and was found a short while later at a Dollar General across the road. He admitted to being in the house, was arrested and was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals with a weapon and armed burglary of a dwelling.
"That was my neighbors house," a commenter named Adi Rexach wrote on the public post. "I was out of town and apparently he was in our laundry room and was also drinking because we found beer cans that were not ours."
Rap Star Heaps Praise on DeSantis After Leaving California for Florida and Loving What She Found: 'He's Focused on the Basic S***'
After two strikes, Sheriff Chad Chronister said that Hernandez-Delgado will be "held accountable."
"I have zero tolerance for abuse of any kind," Chronister said. "Unfortunately, this is not the first case of animal cruelty we've seen recently.
"I can't stress enough how important it is to me that these suspects face charges. This suspect has a history of violent behavior in the area, and it is vital that he's held accountable so he can't continue to harm any innocent person or animal."
Hard to imagine Azealia Banks as an enthusiastic Republican. She's probably not, but she sure has good things to say about DeSantis.

Top 10 Saber-Toothed Tiger Facts

Bob Strauss is a science writer and the author of several books, including "The Big Book of What, How and Why" and "A Field Guide to the Dinosaurs of North America."
Along with the woolly mammoth, the saber-toothed tiger was one of the most famous megafauna of the Pleistocene epoch. Did you know that this fearsome predator was only remotely related to modern tigers, or that its canines were as brittle as they were long?
Not Quite a Tiger

All modern tigers are subspecies of Panthera tigris (for example, the Siberian tiger is technically known by the genus and species name Panthera tigris altaica). What most people refer to as the saber-toothed tiger was actually a species of prehistoric cat known as Smilodon fatalis, which was only distantly related to modern lions, tigers, and cheetahs.
Saber-Toothed Cats Besides Smilodon

Although smilodon is by far the most famous saber-toothed cat, it wasn't the only member of its fearsome breed during the Cenozoic Era: this family included over a dozen genera, including barbourofelis, homotherium, and megantereon. Further complicating matters, paleontologists have identified "false" saber-toothed and "dirk-toothed" cats, which had their own uniquely shaped canines, and even some South American and Australian marsupials developed saber-tooth-like features.
3 Separate Species in the Smilodon Genus

The most obscure member of the smilodon family was the small (only 150 pounds or so) Smilodon gracilis; the North American Smilodon fatalis (what most people mean when they say saber-toothed tiger) was slightly bigger at 200 or so pounds, and the South American Smilodon populator was the most imposing species of them all, with males weighing as much as half a ton. We know that Smilodon fatalis regularly crossed paths with the dire wolf.
Foot-Long Canines

No one would be much interested in the saber-toothed tiger if it were just an unusually big cat. What makes this megafauna mammal truly worthy of attention is its huge, curving canines, which measured close to 12 inches in the largest smilodon species. Oddly enough, though, these monstrous teeth were surprisingly brittle and easily broken, and were often sheared off entirely during close combat, never to grow back again. (It's not like there were any dentists on hand in Pleistocene North America!)
Weak Jaws

Saber-toothed tigers had almost comically capacious bites: these felines could open their jaws to a snake-worthy angle of 120 degrees, or about twice as wide as a modern lion (or a yawning house cat). Paradoxically, though, the various species of smilodon couldn't bite down on their prey with much force, because (per the previous slide) they needed to protect their precious canines against accidental breakage.
Saber-Tooth Tigers Liked to Pounce from Trees

The long, brittle canines of the saber-toothed tiger, combined with its weak jaws, point to a highly specialized hunting style. As far as paleontologists can tell, smilodon pounced on its prey from the low branches of trees, plunged its "sabers" deep into the neck or flank of its unfortunate victim, and then withdrew to a safe distance (or perhaps back into the comfy environs of its tree) as the wounded animal flopped around and eventually bled to death.
Possible Pack Animals

Many modern big cats are pack animals, which has tempted paleontologists to speculate that saber-toothed tigers lived (if not hunted) in packs as well. One piece of evidence supporting this premise is that many smilodon fossil specimens bear evidence of old age and chronic disease; it's unlikely that these debilitated individuals would have been able to survive in the wild without assistance, or at least protection, from other pack members.
La Brea Tar Pits Contain the Fossil Record

Most dinosaurs and prehistoric animals are discovered in remote areas of the U.S., but not the saber-toothed tiger, specimens of which have been recovered by the thousands from the La Brea Tar Pits in downtown Los Angeles. Most likely, these Smilodon fatalis individuals were attracted to megafauna mammals already stuck in the tar and became mired hopelessly themselves in their attempt to score a free (and supposedly easy) meal.
An Stocky Build Compared to Modern Felines

Aside from its massive canines, there's an easy way to distinguish the saber-toothed tiger from a modern big cat. The build of smilodon was comparatively robust, including a thick neck, a broad chest, and short, well-muscled legs. This had a lot to do with this Pleistocene predator's lifestyle; since smilodon didn't have to pursue its prey across endless grasslands, only jump on it from the low branches of trees, it was free to evolve in a more compact direction.
Extinct for 10,000 Years

Why did this saber-toothed cat vanish off the face of the earth toward the end of the last Ice Age? It's unlikely that early humans had either the smarts or the technology to hunt Smilodon to extinction; rather, you can blame a combination of climate change and the gradual disappearance of this cat's large-sized, slow-witted prey. Assuming scraps of its intact DNA can be recovered, it may yet be possible to resurrect this kitty under the scientific program known as de-extinction.
