Treason: Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley told top military officials not to take orders from Trump following Jan. 6 Capitol staged breach

(Natural News) Throughout our history, there has been no greater traitor to his people than American Gen. Benedict Arnold, who's lust for power, riches and glory drove him to betray his fellow colonials and throw in with the British during the Revolutionary War.
But that appears to have now changed.
Benedict Arnold in the modern era is the country's top general, Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, based on excerpts of a forthcoming book by a couple of Washington Post vets, Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
According to the authors of the book "Peril," Milley told the Pentagon's top commanders to ignore the then-sitting commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, after the Jan. 6 breach, according to CNN:
Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump's top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons…
Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'
Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write.
"You never know what a president's trigger point is," Milley reportedly said.
As such, Milley went on to take "extraordinary action," calling a secret confab in his office in the Pentagon on Jan. 8 to go over processes for military action "including launching nuclear weapons," CNN continued. In meeting with senior military officials who ran the National Military Command Center, which is the Defense Department's war room, the Joint Chiefs chairman told his subordinates they were not to take any orders from anyone unless he was looped in.
"No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure," Milley told the assembled officers, the book claims. He then looked each of the meeting participants in the eye and told them to verbally tell him they understood what it was he was saying: 'Don't listen to Trump; listen to me.'
On Wednesday amid the fallout, the Pentagon put out a statement that actually defended Milley's actions, if you can believe that.
"What I can tell you is that it is not uncommon at all for the Department to continue to review security protocols particularly when it comes to our strategic deterrence capabilities… to make sure that they are still relevant," said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, who claimed he was not speaking to the accusation that Milley took steps to prevent the sitting president from launching a nuclear strike — which he would have to do in response to an incoming strike, keep in mind — while assuring his Chinese counterpart he planned to warn of any incoming attack.
"It's also completely appropriate — and again I'm not speaking to the validity of things that are in the book — but it is completely appropriate for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff… to want to see those protocols reviewed on whatever frequent basis that he wants to do that."
Flat out, that is treason, and Sen. Rand Paul is well aware of what needs to happen.
Couple that with his inept handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and it is clear General Milley is no longer fit to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and should be removed immediately.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) September 15, 2021
"I don't care what you think of President Trump, the Chairman of the JCOS working to subvert the military chain of command and collude with China is exactly what we do not accept from military leaders in our country," Paul, a Kentucky Republican, tweeted. "He should be court martialed if true.
"Couple that with his inept handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and it is clear General Milley is no longer fit to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and should be removed immediately," he wrote.
If we had a functional government, Milley would have already been arrested by military officials ahead of a court martial.

Mr. Kimura's Aikido Memories, Part 1
March 1, 2015 Christopher Li Comment
Morihei Ueshiba's Technical Manual "Budo" – published in 1938
1938 saw the continuation of the Japanese war in China, increased economic sanctions against Japan by the United States, and and the formation of the precursor to the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" (大東亞共榮圏), the "New Order in East Asia" (東亜新秩序). It saw the passing of the National Mobilization Law (国家総動員法) in the Japanese Diet, putting the national economy of the Empire of Japan on a war-time footing.
1938 was also the heart of the golden years of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba's Kobukan Dojo, known as "Hell Dojo" for the severity of its training.
Mr. Kimura began training with Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei in 1938, in an art called "Ueshiba-ryu Aiki-jutsu", at the Kobukan Dojo that had been opened in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo in 1931. What follows is the first part of a two part English translation of his memories of that time from June 24th 1987 which originally appeared in the tenth anniversary edition of "Aikido Kodaira" (「合気こだいら」十周年記念誌), published on October 30th 1988.
Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba around 1938
Aikido Memories (合気道の思い出)
1) My Current State
This year (Showa year 62 / 1987) I have reached "Koki". Counting years I have already become an old man of 70. Now I'd like to look back 50 years to my younger days and talk about my memories of Aikido.
(Translator's Note: "Koki" is an older way of saying "seventy years old", from the classic poem by the Chinese poet Tufu (Toho, 杜甫, in Japanese) – "Jinsei nanaju korai mare nari" (人生七十古来稀なり), meaning that to reach 70 is a rare occurrence.)
2) Initiation
I began Aikido in March of Showa year 13 (1938), at the age of nineteen. At the time there was no such name as "Aikido", it was called "Ueshiba-ryu Aiki-jutsu" (植芝流・合気術) and the dojo was called the "Kobukan Dojo" (皇武館道場).
As to the reason why I began Aikido, at the time I was training in Judo at my school's Judo club, but the Judo contests weren't divided into weight classes as they are now – everybody competed in the same division. That put smaller people like me at a disadvantage when competing.
Matsuhei Mori demonstrating Kyokushin Karate
with Kenji Kurosaki (黒崎健時), Tadashi Nakamura (中村忠)
and Hirofumi Okada (岡田博文)
Title reads: "The toughest man in the Diet"
So it was at the point where I was wondering if there were some method in which a smaller build was not a disadvantage. He has already passed away, but I had an acquaintance named Matsuhei Mori (毛利松平) who had a 5th Dan in Judo from the Keio University Judo club. He later became the Minister of the Japanese Environmental Agency. This person told me "There is an incredible master of Bujutsu in Tokyo, a man called Mr. Ueshiba. If five of us actively training 5th dans grab a person at the same time then we can almost always defeat them. But even when we grab onto that Ueshiba Sensei at the same time, Sensei just sends everybody flying with one shake of his hips. And when using the sword, he is number one in Japan.".
(Translator's Note: Matsuhei Mori, July 16 1913 – May 24 1985. Matsuhei Mori was a member of the Japanese Diet and served as the Minister of the Japanese Environmental Agency. He was student of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba, Judo, and Kyokushin Karate, and was a mentor to Kyokushin Karate's founder Masatatsu Oyama (it was at his suggestion that Choi Yong-I took the Japanese name of "Masatatsu Oyama"). He also served as the Director of the Nihon Budokan.)
At the time I was an exchange student at a school in Tokyo from Dairen (Translator's Note: 大連 / Dalian – leased by the Japanese as a port city from the puppet state of Manchukuo, Japanese occupied Manchuria) in China. Since I had the good fortune to be studying in Japan I thought that I certainly wanted to train under one of the world's masters and applied to become a student.
At that time in Aikido nobody could become a student without an introduction. So I asked Mr. Matsuhei Mori to write me a letter of introduction, then I went to the Kobukan Dojo to visit Ueshiba Sensei for the first time and ask for permission to become a student. At the time, somewhere in the back of my mind I had a sense of unease. Actually, in my mind I had imagined Sensei as a frightening figure who could crush ogres, but the Sensei that I met was an affable white haired grandfather around 50 years old who was even slightly smaller than me. In any case, I politely asked for permission to become a student, and Sensei told me that it would be alright. Even now I remember that warm and peaceful spring day with the spring sunlight filling the dojo with light.
After that I made a written oath. I was told not to speak to others about the content ("otome-ryu") of the oath (Translator's Note: 御留流 / "otomeryu", an Edo era practice of restricting members of a Ryu from matches outside of their Ryu, also used to refer to Ryu that were sworn to a particular domain or a Ryu that did not permit interaction with the general public.). After doing this I was permitted to become a student.
At the time I was living in Toyama-so, in the Totsuka san-chome area of Takadanobaba, but it was quite far from the dojo in Wakamatsu-cho, so I moved into a place called the Chouseikan (長生館) boarding house in Okubo ni-chome where the artists lived, just 300 meters from the dojo. Everyday after I got out of school I would practice Judo with the Judo club, then go back to the boarding house and then on to the dojo. After Aikido training I would go back to the boarding house in the evening to have dinner and then return to the dojo for more Aikido, and that was my daily life.
At that time my brother, who was also an exchange student in Japan, often scolded me "You put a lot of expense into coming all the way to Japan to study, but you never study – what the hell are you doing?", but in this case I just retorted "If I can learn Aiki-jutsu then it's OK!". I'm a little embarrassed to discuss a personal matter, but I was job hunting after graduating from school in Showa year 15 (1940), and if one was captain of their Judo club almost all of the companies would pass you on their tests. Thanks to that, I received offers of employment from the top ranked companies Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and the Southern Manchurian Railway on the same day – I gave a cry of joy!

Sankichi Takahashi and Eisuke Yamamoto's names appear
along with the name of Admiral Isamu Takeshita
From "Aikido Kaiso Ueshiba Morihei-den" (合気道開祖植芝盛平伝)
3) The Face of the Deshi
A – The Monjin-roku (門人録 / "Record of Students")
I was told that after becoming a student one was recorded in the Monjin-roku. When I opened that Monjin-roku I was astonished.
Sasaburo Takano (left)
with Morihei Ueshiba's close friend, Nakayama Hakudo
The first name was Sasaburo Takano (Translator's Note: 高野佐三郎 – Itto-ryu's Sasaburo Takano is considered to be one of the fathers of modern Japanese Kendo).
He was the Ken-jutsu shihan of the Metropolitan Police Department. There was something written in an old serial novel published by the Asahi Shimbun – one day this Takano Shihan was put upon by a large number of gamblers on a bridge above the Sumida River. It was said that, facing them with his bare hands, he threw them off the edge of the bridge into the river.
Right wing theorist and general Sadao Araki
The second name was Sadao Araki (Translator's Note: 荒木貞夫 – a general in the pre-WWII Imperial Japanese Army, and one of the principal nationalist right-wing political theorists in the Empire of Japan. He served as the Minister of War and then the Minister of Education, and was a member of the pre-war Supreme War Council (軍事参議官会議)).
He was an army general and later became the Minister of Education – as I recall, for a period of time he was a member of the Cabinet.
Admiral Sankichi Takahashi in 1935
as Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet
The third name was Sankichi Takahashi (Translator's Note: 高橋三吉 – commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was instrumental in crushing the Treaty Faction of the Japanese Naval command that accepted limitations imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty agreed to by Japan after WWI. He was an enthusiastic supporter of Aikido and invited Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba to become an instructor at the Naval Staff College where he trained Imperial Japanese Naval officers for some ten years.).
He was a naval admiral who had served as the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy (連合艦隊指令長官).
Admiral Eisuke Yamamoto
The fourth name was Eisuke Yamamoto (Translator's Note: 山本英輔 – an admiral and commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy. During the February 26th Incident (二・二六事件), an attempted coup d'état organized by a group of young Imperial Japanese Army officers attempting to install a military-centered cabinet, he was part of a failed compromise solution to form a new cabinet under his supervision.).
He was a also naval admiral who had served as the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
That is to say, it was all top class people, compared to them I was nothing, a student – but as I said before I added my name while filled with embarrassment. I don't think that there are other dojo anywhere that restrict membership like that. I think that is part of the tale of Ueshiba Sensei's fastidiousness.
B – My Brother Students
– Ishii-san (石井さん)
About fifty years old and an executive at Kewpie Mayonnaise, every day we would hear the sound of his wooden geta as he walked to the dojo from Nakano in his kimono. He didn't look very strong, and sometimes we'd try arm wrestling, but at those times I'd be defeated easily. Then he'd always scold me, hitting my shoulders and saying "Kimura-san, you're putting power into your shoulders again, please relax.", but in the end I just couldn't relax.
– Ito-san (伊藤さん)
In his thirties and working for the Japan Railways at Shinagawa Station. This person said that Sensei told him that he would split the dojo with him and always trained as hard as he could. (Translator's Note: this may be Hitoshi Ito / 伊藤等)
Gozo Shioda taking ukemi for Morihei Ueshiba – "Budo", 1938
– Shioda-san (塩田さん)
A student at Takushoku University (拓殖大学), throughout the year he'd spend all of his time in the dojo, and even eat his meals with Sensei's family in a room in the back. He was Sensei's favorite pupil, and went with him wherever he went as Sensei's O-tomo ("attendant"). He was the only one who could remain comfortable, no matter how far Sensei threw him. His grip was incredibly strong, it was called the "Takudai Punch" (Translator's Note: "Takudai" is short for "Takushoku University"). You couldn't move when Shioda-san grabbed you.
Now he has opened a dojo in Koganei City and is protecting Ueshiba Sensei's teaching, spreading and promoting Aikido.
Kisshomaru Ueshiba with his father, Morihei Ueshiba
– Kisshomaru-san (吉祥丸さん)
Ueshiba Sensei's son, at that time he was in the third year of junior high school. I remember working on Kokyu Undo with him.
I trained with the four people above from March of Showa year 13 (1938) to February of Showa year 15 (1940).
The Sumo Wrestler Saburo Wakuta – Tenryu
Outside of that there was Saburo Wakuta-san (Translator's Note: 和久田三郎 – the real name of the Sumo wrestler Saburo Tenryu / 天竜三郎, who became a student of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba after encountering him in Manchuria.). This person was the Director of Physical Education for Manchukuo (Translator's Note: the name of the Japanese puppet nation established in pre-WWII Manchuria) and had come to visit Ueshiba Dojo in order to master Aikido – he was the Sumo wrestler Tenryu Ozeki-san. He was very large, and during the breaks Shioda-san would lie down next to him and rest his head on his abdomen.

Q: Angular it taking the old parameter when clicking button I am trying to add a button which when clicked, calls a function which takes a parameter and sends it to my server. So far it looks like this:

        Id

        {{ interview.id }}
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" id="submit" ng-click="$ctrl.addParticipant();">

What I have in my angular component:
var participant={
                    username:"mama",
                    interviewId:$routeParams.interviewId
                };
                console.log(participant);
                console.log(JSON.stringify(participant));

                this.addParticipant = function saveParticipant() {
                    console.log("in partikip")
                    Interview.addParticipant(JSON.stringify(participant))
                        .then(
                            function (errResponse) {
                                console.error('Error while fetching pending interviews');
                            }
                        );
                }

And what I have in my angular service:
function addParticipant(participant) {
                console.log("Im here too");
                console.log(participant + "asdasdsda");
                var deferred = $q.defer();
                $http.post('http://localhost:8080/interviewsupdateparticipant', participant)
                    .then(
                        function (response) {
                            deferred.resolve(response.data);
                        },
                        function (errResponse) {
                            console.error('Error while adding participant');
                            console.error(''+ participant.username +  participant.interviewId)
                            deferred.reject(errResponse);
                        }
                    );
                return deferred.promise;
            }

The problem is that first when I go to my page, participant from the controller has the username set to mama and the interviewId set to undefined. When I click the submit button, instead of sending the id and the hardcoded username, it sends undefined and the hardcoded username. Why? Why doesn't it automatically get the interviewId?
The moment I click Submit, the id stays undefined for some reason and it only changes if I click again. Any ideas what the problem could be?

A: Many things that could solve this:

*

*Try using ngHref instead of just href when you have variable part of your url

*Try passing the interview.id as a parameter to your addParticipant() method instead of getting it via the $routeParams variable

*You have an input type="submit" outside any form, and inside an  link, try changing that

Greenspring Veterans Groups Sponsor Local Students for Virginia Girls State Program
Springfield retirement community residents raise funds to send student employees to weeklong leadership program
(Springfield, Va.) - Four years ago, Greenspring Post 123 was issued its formal charter as in independent Post in The American Legion. Today, the Post has 58 members at Greenspring. Since 2011, the Post has sponsored a local student who wishes to attend the Virginia Boys State program organized by The American Legion. The program teaches students how the Virginia government works while developing leadership skills and an appreciation for citizens' rights. This year, with added financial support from the Women in Military Service resident group at the community, Greenspring Post 123 will be sponsoring two students who also work at Greenspring. They will attend the parallel Virginia Girls State Program organized by the American Legion Auxiliary. The program will take place June 15-21 at Longwood University.
Pete Straub, Greenspring resident and Commander of Post 123, attended Boys State 56 years ago in Missouri and considers it a win-win for all parties involved. "I think it's a beneficial program," said Straub. "Students can be a part of democracy in action and learn about working together for a common goal."
The student employees attending the program, Yeawah Mambu and Jenny Portillo, are members of the dining services staff at Greenspring. Mambu, a Woodbridge High School student, grew up in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and moved to the United States in 2008 at 11 years of age. Portillo, whose parents are from El Salvador, is homeschooled and was born in Springfield. A third student from Robinson Secondary School, who is not employed at Greenspring, will also be sponsored by Greenspring Post 123.
According to the Virginia Girls State website, the "program teaches the formation and operation of city, county and state government entities. The participants vote and carry out elected and appointed positions in the Girls State government. The program gives participants the experience of living together as self-governing citizens with the privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship, as well as the opportunity to gain knowledge of the American Legion Auxiliary."
In order to be eligible for the program, students must have completed their junior year of high school, have at least one semester remaining in high school, receive a physical exam, receive parental consent, and sign a pledge to adhere to all the rules and regulations of the program. All expenses are paid for by the sponsoring Post for each participant.
Upon their return from the Virginia Girls State program, the two student employees will provide a report of their experiences to Greenspring Post 123 and the Women in Military Service group.
About Greenspring: Greenspring is situated on a 58-acre scenic campus in Springfield, Virginia. The community is home to nearly 2000 residents, many of whom reside in the over 1400 independent living apartment homes. At Greenspring, over 200 resident-run and resident-driven programs promote an engaged, fulfilling lifestyle that is reflected in resident satisfaction levels that exceed the industry average.

Ford Trades Range for Price on New Focus EV
Execs don't believe the 200 miles is worth an extra $6k to buyers.
by Michael Strong | Apr 18, 2016
The 2017 Ford Focus EV will have a range of 100 miles, which is about 100 miles less than its competition.
As most of EV makers are following the go big or go home path when it comes to battery range, Ford is staying the course – or distance – when it comes to the next-generation Ford Focus EV: it will go about 100 miles before needing a charge.
Why? Money.
The rationale was made apparent as Kevin Layden, Ford's director for electrification, told attendees at the SAE World Congress in Detroit, said the company felt that extra 100 miles wasn't worth the extra $6,000 it would cost potential owners.
"I think right now with the launch of the Focus Electric at 100 miles, it is going to satisfy a big chunk of the population," said Layden, according to Automotive News. "It's going to be really affordable and a step up from where we are now."

The Dearborn, Michigan-based maker's 2017 model, which debuts later this year, jumps from the 76 miles the 2016 model got to the 100-mile mark. Both numbers are well below competitors like the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 that are expected to go twice as far – 200 miles – before charging.
Ford is going to find out in a hurry whether this gamble will pay off as the Chevy Bolt will hit showrooms this fall at 200 miles and somewhere around $30,000, if you include federal tax credits. The aforementioned Tesla Model 3 compact sedan will be able to drive 215 miles on a charge, according to officials and will come in around the same price point. Nissan plans to launch a redesigned Leaf in 2018 with a 200-mile range.
In December, Ford committed $4.5 billion to rejuvenate its electrified vehicle lineup. One of the big changes it made was cutting the price of the Focus EV by $6,000 to just under $30k so that once the government incentives were factored in it was just over $23,000.
The impact was minimal as Ford sold just 1,717 Focus EVs last year, down 21% from a year earlier. Through March, Ford sold 257 Focus EVs. The move, or lack thereof, comes after Ford committed to developing 13 new vehicles with electric powertrains by 2020 as part of $4.5 billion. That money also includes new hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
(Click Here for details about how the rise in lithium prices could stymie the market for EVs.)
"As part of this effort, we will be driving down costs of batteries, inverters and other EV components," Layden said. "We'll develop the next generation of the Powersplit front-wheel-drive transmission and rear-wheel-drive applications previously announced."
The powersplit front-wheel-drive transmission is Ford's name for its hybrid drivetrain system. In addition, Layden said that Ford is working with its supplier partners to bring to market new battery technology and investing in R&D with the University of Michigan.
Ford's electrification news might seem ill-timed to some observers, considering the sharp downturn in gasoline prices and the possibility of an even sharper plunge in the near future. That is one reason why demand for the maker's current battery models has fallen by roughly 25% so far this year.
Company officials admitted they need to do a better job convincing consumers of the advantages of electric propulsion, but improvements in the technology should also enhance its appeal.

The reality is that Ford, like its competitors, may have no choice but to keep expanding its electric line-up. It has to cope not only with tougher European carbon dioxide rules and U.S. mileage standards, but also the zero-emissions vehicle mandate in California. A maker that falls short could be banned from that huge market.

some green guys will have to explain to me the extra 6000 dollars it will cost to go a extra 100 miles.


Last night, I finished the first draft of Robber Barrons.
I still have a lot more editing to do, and some scenes to add/change, but the bulk of the writing is done, and I couldn't be happier. Well I could, if I was actually done with the entire thing, but for now I'll continue to bask in my glory of finishing.
Thanks to everyone who's kept up with this progress and especially Amanda, Emily, and Robin for traveling this bumpy road with me. You guys rock!
Congratulations! Nothing better than the words "the end". Now for the editing fun (my favorite part of the whole process).
Editing is my favorite part, too. Thank you!
So many congratulations to you and good luck with the polish! It's a wonderful thing to finish with the heavier lifting of a story.
Thanks so much! 🙂 And yes, it is a great feeling.

Q: Is there any way to store data when writing Roslyn analyzers or VS extensions? i am writing a Roslyn analyzer and i need to store some data, and so my analyzers can share data between them. Or i want to save the state of my analyzer and again i want to save some data to a db or write to a file. Is there any option to store data while using Analyzer with Code fix template?

A: ability to share resources between analyzers will be added by the issue @Srivatsn Narayanan mentioned. but that doesn't mean you can share state.
for state to be useful between analyzers, you need some kind of dependency or execution ordering guarantee between analyzers which don't exist.
PS:
you can ask adding support for such guarantee but since that will make whole system way more complex, and there is a workaround author can do himself (by creating one analyzer and do everything there itself) probably won't be supported any time soon.

A: There is currently no easy API to share state across analyzer instances. We are discussing adding such a feature in this issue. However, what that API would do can simply be achieved by you having a type that exposes a static ConditionalWeakTable and store your data there and share that across your analyzers. You do need to be careful to make sure that you are not leaking compilations.
The analyzer produced by the template is a portable library project and so doesn't have access to many of the file\db APIs. You could convert your analyzer to be a project that targets .NET 4.5.2 and then use those APIs. However, I'd strongly recommend avoiding that if possible for two reason - one is that the analyzers will be executed on every keystroke in VS and making a db call that often would degrade perf. The second is that non-portable analyzer will be specific to VS and won't be able to run for ASP.NET 5 or .NET CLI

Local officials have released a plan to rebuild the long-ailing Philadelphia School District from the ground up.
Insolvency, poor academic achievement, and safety concerns are primary reasons to act, he said. The SRC's reorganization plan would close 64 poorly performing schoolsover five years, starting with 40 schools in 2013; move thousands of students to charterschools; and replace the central district office with several decentralized "achievement networks" that compete to run schools and sign performance contracts.
The current, 2013 district budget shortfall is $218 million. Left unchecked, it is projectedto grow to $1.1 billion by 2017. Philadelphia is one of the lowest-performing school districts in the nation.

The Strategic Intent Behind the BB&T – SunTrust Merger
in Daily Dose, Featured, Investment, News February 7, 2019	1,488 Views
BB&T and SunTrust have announced that they will combine in an all-stock merger valued at $66 billion to create the sixth-largest U.S. bank based on assets and deposits.
According to Reuters, this is the biggest bank deal since the 2007-2009 financial crisis with the combined company expected to operate under a new name and have around $442 billion in assets. It is expected to have $301 billion in loans and $324 billion in deposits.
The new bank's footprint would cover the East Coast with new corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In terms of its revenue from the mortgage business, the banks projected the combined fee income of the merged entity at $88 billion with 7 percent coming in through residential mortgage banking. Of the combined loans of $301 billion, 27 percent would be from residential mortgages, the banks said in their presentation to investors.
The new entity would be combining the current reach of BB&T and SunTrust bank to reach 10 million households and would have a Top 3 market share across eight states.
In a statement, the companies said that the combined company's board of directors and executive management team would be evenly split between the two institutions. In the current home markets for both companies, the combined company would maintain the Community Banking Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and the Wholesale Banking Center in Atlanta, Georgia reflecting the combined company's commitment to increase the respective banks' current levels of community investment.
"This is a true merger of equals, combining the best of both companies to create the premier financial institution of the future," said Kelly S. King, Chairman and CEO at BB&T. "It's an extraordinarily attractive financial proposition that provides the scale needed to compete and win in the rapidly evolving world of financial services. Together with Bill's leadership and our new SunTrust teammates, we're going to bring the best of both companies forward to serve our clients and communities."
Looking at the strategic and financial benefits of the merger, the banks said that the combined company would preserve and maintain the strong cultures of BB&T and SunTrust to "deliver superior client service and preserve the community banking model to maintain close ties to shared local communities." In terms of financial profile and operating metrics, the merger is expected to generate an internal rate of return of around 18 percent.
The companies said that the merged entity would also take advantage of its enhanced scale to focus on selecting best of breed systems and processes and making significant investments in technology to "create a sustainable competitive advantage in an increasingly digital-first world."
"By bringing together these two mission- and purpose-driven institutions, we will accelerate our capacity to invest in transformational technologies for our clients. Our shared culture embraces the disruption of technology and we will take this innovative mindset to expand our leadership in the next chapter of these historic brands," said William H. Rogers Jr. Chairman and CEO of SunTrust. With our geographic position, enhanced scale and leading financial profile, these two companies will achieve substantially more for clients, teammates, associates, communities, and shareholders than we could alone. I have tremendous respect for Kelly, his leadership team and the BB&T associates. We will leverage our respective strengths as we focus together on the future."
The new company's leadership team would have King serving as the company's Chairman and CEO until September 2021 with Rogers serving as the President and COO of the combined entity. Rogers will take over as the CEO of the combined entity post-September 2021.
The transaction for this merger is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2019.

Holidays and seasons already tend to bleed together, and it doesn't help that seemingly every store starts blasting Christmas music the day after Halloween.
Cracker Barrel and Hobby Lobby both probably stocked their Christmas-related goods in August, and I'm sure that playing Christmas music as soon as they can helps get people in the spirit to buy their products.
However, it's two weeks away from Thanksgiving, and I can't even walk in a store without hearing Santa Baby or All I Want for Christmas is You.
I love Christmas just as much as the next consumer. It is a fun, festive time which causes my shriveled, Grinch heart to grow three times in size, but I don't need two months or more of Christmas.
I believe corporations stretch out holidays to profit as much as they possibly can.
We accept this as a society and by the time we actually get to the holiday we waited for, it feels like celebrated it months ago.
I like Christmas music and believe it's special, which is why it should be played only after Thanksgiving. Otherwise, we'll become as fatigued and jaded as a Kohl's employee who has heard Holly Jolly Christmas five times in one day.


William Gowers was born in London, the only son of William Gowers of Hackney and his wife Ann Venables. He was educated at Christ Church School, Oxford, until starting an apprenticeship at Coggeshall, Essex. He completed his medical training at University College, London, where, after qualifying in 1862, he became, first, Jenner's house physician and then his secretary. In 1870 he was made registrar at the National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic, and after three years in this post was appointed to its staff as assistant physician, becoming physician in 1880. He was elected assistant physician to University College Hospital in 1872, physician in 1883 and consulting physician in 1888, and officiated as professor of clinical medicine in his last two years on the active staff. He delivered the Goulstonian Lectures in 1880 and the Bradshaw Lecture in 1896 at the Royal College of Physicians and the Lettsomian Lectures of 1890 at the Medical Society of London. He was knighted in 1897.
In his early years, Gowers devised an improved form of haemoglobinometer and published a valuable work on Medical Ophthalmoscopy (1879). Nervous diseases were the subject on which he became a leading authority. His short work on The Diagnosis of Diseases of the Spinal Cord (1880), dealt lucidly with a subject then obscure, and was followed by a similar book on The Diagnosis of Diseases of the Brain (1885). His magnum opus. Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System, appeared in 1886 and had a world-wide circulation. In this, by his own profound knowledge of the subject and with many original observations, he collated and expounded in clear and memorable language, the recent work of Hughlings Jackson, Fritsch, Hitzig and Ferrier, and made it available not only to the majority of general practitioners but to the rising generation of students. Gowers' very brilliance as an observer tended to make him dogmatic as a teacher, impatient of criticism and unsympathetic to lesser minds; but such traits diminished as he mellowed with success and with age. His chief hobbies were etching—he illustrated many of his books and papers and exhibited at the Royal Academy—and the study of mosses. In his student days, with customary thoroughness and foresight, he taught himself shorthand which stood him in good stead throughout his career. He married in 1875 Mary, daughter of Frederick Baines of Leeds, and had two sons and two daughters. He died in London.

8th Annual "Collector Car Appreciation Day" to be Celebrated on July 14, 2017
in Press Media Press Releases Government Afairs
Annual Event Acknowledges Importance of Collection and Restoration of Classic Cars
DIAMOND BAR, CA (October 29, 2016) - The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils announced that the next "Collector Car Appreciation Day" will be celebrated on July 14, 2017. The date marks the eighth consecutive commemoration in what has become an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
SEMA and its councils will once again seek a Congressional resolution to recognize the day's significance. The industry endeavors to preserve our nation's automotive heritage while providing well-paying, high-skilled jobs nationwide. Intended to celebrate the classics of the past and the future, Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) is a singular tribute to the collector car industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports.
"The U.S. Senate first recognized Collector Car Appreciation Day in 2010 at our request and helped launch this annual event," said SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. "As we prepare for the eighth celebration of our nation's automotive heritage, enthusiasts and related businesses are already planning open houses, car cruises, club gatherings and educational events to commemorate the day."
The previous resolutions were sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus Co-Chairs Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and Senator Jon Tester (D-MT). The senators are strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington and recognize the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation's appreciation for the automobile's unique historical place in our history. The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan group that pays tribute to America's ever growing love affair with the car and motorsports.
SEMA will maintain and publicize a list of scheduled events to commemorate America's time-tested love affair with the automobile. Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in publicizing events should contact Colby Martin, Director of the SEMA Action Network (SAN), at 909/978-6721 or san@sema.org.
If you are unable to celebrate on July 14, SEMA encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July.
SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association founded in 1963, represents the $39.2 billion specialty automotive industry of 6,633 member-companies. It is the authoritative source for research, data, trends and market information for the specialty auto parts industry. The industry provides appearance, performance, comfort, convenience and technology products for passenger and recreational vehicles. For more information, contact SEMA at 1575 S. Valley Vista Dr., Diamond Bar, CA 91765, tel: 909-610-2030, or visit www.sema.org.

ANVIL: Entire 'Hope In Hell' Album Available For Streaming
May 21, 2013 0 Comment Anvil
"Hope In Hell", the new album from Canadian metal legends ANVIL, can be streamed in its entirety using the SoundCloud widget below. Due on May 27 in Europe and May 24 in Germany on SPV/Steamhammer, the follow-up to 2011's "Juggernaut Of Justice" will be available in four different formats: as a limited-edition digipak including two bonus tracks, as a jewel case CD, double gatefold colored vinyl LP and as a digital download. These are the first cuts featuring ANVIL's new bassist Sal Italiano, who joined the band a year ago.
"We're really happy with Sal. His style is powerful and amazingly imaginative," says ANVIL guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, who composed the entire album along with drummer Robb Reiner. "It's a little as if we'd enlisted Steve Harris."
"Hope In Hell" was written and recorded following an 18-month world tour which took ANVIL around the globe. "We hadn't expected this kind of extensive tour when we brought out 'Juggernaut Of Justice'," Kudlow confesses. "Time just flew by. I could hardly believe it when I found myself in the studio again after the tour, ready to work on the next album. The reactions to 'Juggernaut Of Justice' and the shows had been so positive that we had plenty of ideas and inspiration for new material."
Kudlow is referring to typical ANVIL tracks such as "Hope In Hell", which the ANVIL guitarist considers a logical continuation of legendary numbers like "Forged In Fire", "Metal On Metal" and "Plenty Of Power". He also mentions "Eat Your Words", according to Kudlow a "hybrid between 'Jackhammer' and '666', in other words pure ANVIL, like in our early days." Pretty much the same applies to haunting new tracks like "The Fight Is Never Won" and "Call Of Duty", which present ANVIL true to form. But there are also a number of real surprises on "Hope In Hell": "A song like 'Badass Rock'n'Roll' with its rock'n'roll groove surprised even me," Kudlow admits. "It shows our great respect for bands like AC/DC and MOTÖRHEAD. I'm sure that all ANVIL fans will love this song because it's the best we've done in this direction." "Mankind Machine" sees Kudlow Co. break new ground: never before has this band sounded so mechanical (like the title suggests). And never before has it sounded as oriented to the classic rock feel of the seventies as in "Time Shows No Mercy".
So ANVIL are proud to present the kind of album that ANVIL fans will love: no concessions to short-lived trends, no modern frills but traditional metal with lots of classic rock music elements.
"What we do is totally timeless," says ANVIL's frontman. "We've never tried to change our sound or experiment with trends and fashions. We live in our own world and have maintained our individuality and own identity."
Like "Juggernaut Of Justice", "Hope In Hell" was produced by Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH, AIRBOURNE, ALICE COOPER) at the NRG Recording studios in North Hollywood, California and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, SEPULTURA).
"The album's flair reminds me of the beginnings of classic heavy metal in the most positive sense of the term," says Kudlow. "I grew up in the Seventies, and I still like what I listened to back then.
"You can always rely on ANVIL. We don't write our music for the radio and we don't want to break any records. Some media criticize our uncompromising attitude, but we're proud of never having betrayed our ideals and having remained faithful to our roots.
"We're really proud and already love the new album just as much as our early releases from the beginning of the Eighties, because 'Hope In Hell' sounds like ANVIL live on stage: natural, honest, unvarnished, never over-produced and straight from the heart."
