Movie Review: Get Out (2017)
March 4, 2017 April 29, 2019 ~ Alyxwrites
Summary: A young African-American man visits his Caucasian girlfriend's mysterious family estate.
Cast and Characters. This movie has it's special group of people and legit all of them were interesting people and I think the actors did a great job. I can only go into so much detail without spoiling the characters in the film.
Daniel Kaluuya as Chris Washington. First of all, I think he is so good looking. I thought he looked good in Sicario but anyways, he's really good here. His character is into photography and he seems to be a chill dude. He's a bit nervous to be meeting his girlfriend's parents, especially in knowing that her family is white. As he in their world, he looks a bit uncomfortable but is really good at keeping it together. But he begins to feel like he's losing it and it's so great. I think Daniel does such a great job at maintaining a nice young man persona (which he is) as well as being uncomfortable with being around white people. The way he is during the get together, he is trying to be a team player but things are weirdly happening. He reacts the way I know I would. I also appreciate his strength in the later scenes.
Allison Williams as Rose Armitage. Rose is the "girl next door" girlfriend. It was interesting how she was able to stand up to the police officer who questioned Chris (even though he was driving), definitely privilege there. She has a big smile, seems really sweet and doesn't seem to be like her weird family at all. Allison Williams works here, she has the big smile that is inviting and welcoming, and as the film progresses we get to see more and she's great in the role.
Catherine Keener as Missy Armitage. She is Rose's mother, a Psychiatrist, tries to help Chris quit smoking using hypnosis (something he is not interested in), but she seems to be diagnosing him every time they talk. It's weird. They have an interesting run in at night. I like Catherine Keener, she has an interesting voice and she works well here, she's very unsettling in a therapy kind of way.
Bradley Whitford as Dean. First of all, this guy looks so weird with facial hair, I didn't realize who he was until today. Anyway, he's that guy who feels the need to explain that "I would have voted for Obama for a third term", or finds a way to try to placate Chris's uncomfortableness. Especially in reference to Walter and Georgina. He's that guy who a black person would roll their eyes at because they're trying so hard. He's also a brain surgeon. He wasn't as bad as "unsettling" as the mother, but he was up there. I think Bradley Whitford (who I also like most times) plays the part well, the lame dad, who thinks he's hip but it's more annoying than anything.
Caleb Landry Jones as Jeremy Armitage. I think he was the weirdest. He's Rose's younger brother and he obviously makes Chris uncomfortable due to his assumptions, especially about him being good in and liking sports (which Chris is meh towards), or the fact that he has a great physique for MMA. He even tries to get Chris to do some moves with him (so weird). I think he was the most unsettling of them all considering how he would stand in the background, or corners just looming over everyone, not to mention, he wouldn't do something to his hair and Caleb has really lovely red hair lol. I think Caleb was perfect in this role because he is totally weird.
Marcus Henderson as Walter. He is the groundskeeper of the Armitage estate. Chris sees him and Dean tries to explain that Walter helped out when his parents and that they didn't want to let him go (same with Georgina). He is really quiet, stares oddly and when Chris goes to introduce himself, Walter talks like he's from another time period. He also does that creepy run (you see it in the trailer). Dude is so creepy. I think Marcus Henderson plays that really well too, to be able to maintain weirdness about the character.
Betty Gabriel as Georgina. I only saw her in that one movie that I will not name as I hated it but she was one of the few things I liked about that movie. She's so pretty to me but Georgina is the Armitage's maid and she pops up out of nowhere so many times (the only time I actually jumped was because of her). She also seems to have a fascination with herself in the mirror and she interacts with Chris a bit and every time she does it's so weird. Good job Betty, you are officially scary lol.
LilRel Howery as Rod Williams. He is Chris's best friend, the funny one. He's the one who tells Chris not to go to the country with those white people (lol) and he's the one who solves a lot of mystery on his own. TS MUTHAF**** A lol. I liked this dude. Everyone needs to have a friend like him.
Lakeith Stanfield as Andre "Logan" King. I think Lakeith is a great actor, I first saw him in Short Term 12 and he was pretty great here too. We see two versions of him. That's all I'll say. He does a great job too.
The Direction. There are so many good shots in this film. I can't even, especially in the last act of the film. All of the scenes that are in Chris's head, or flashbacks to his childhood, they're all handled so well. Jordan Peele knew what he was doing, I was pleasantly surprised. The feeling of claustrophobia presented in a lot of scenes, or unease, or uncomfortably, it all depends on the choices made by the director. Two thumbs up.
The Story. On the surface, this story is about an interracial couple going to the white family's estate. It travels through how uncomfortable Chris feels in this situation even if he loves his girlfriend. However, there is something sinister going on and I kind of figured something along the lines of what was going on, but it ended up being a step further than what I thought. It's scary and honestly something that in a weird way could be considered funny but it's scary for any black person to think about happening to them.
The Imagery. While the thrill factor is there, the imagery used in the film helps boost those moments. I don't want to go into it too much because it gives things away but the things shown really help put certain things happening into perspective.
The Horror/Thriller Factor. I wouldn't necessarily say this movie is a horror film but more of a psychological thriller. There are few jump scares but I only really got scared once. I don't think it's really scary but more haunting. The scene between Chris and Missy in her office, that's the first really unsettling scene because it's weird. Then when Chris is meeting all of the white neighbors another time because the camera is shifting between all of the people and it's like overwhelming for Chris and for the viewers. Then of course the entire third act… again, I wasn't scared but more like O.O. It's so great.
The Message. This movie is not out to offend anyone, but I'm sure it'll make a lot of people upset. It's just exploring the fear that black people have when being a white man's world, which is legit. It's extreme but that's the point. The people in this film aren't Neo-nazi people, or whatever, but are nice people, with nice lives etc. but they represent those people who make life uncomfortable for black people while also admiring the best parts of that person. It addresses many levels of racism.
The ending. This is really my only con and it doesn't knock the movie down any bit for me. I think the ending is solid but it leaves so many questions unanswered. It can be argued that that's the point, which is fine, sometimes, but I want more answers. Why would they make sure it was actually over before doing what they did? What about the other people in the wealthy neighborhood? I NEED TO KNOW!
Overall, I love Get Out and it was so surprising to me. I figured it was going to be good from the beginning but it really surprised me with how good it was. Jordan Peele created a film where the black man is not the villain, he is the victim but he is an active victim. He has created a film where it shows the fears that black people feel when surrounded by white people, as well as addressing the microagressions directed towards black people. It's really an interesting film. The direction was great, the film looked nice and clean while including a lot of imagery that helps boost the way the film can be viewed as well as the story. It's a very intriguing and unique story. The actors were well cast in their roles, they were fully realized. I love this film.
Have you seen Get Out? What did you think of it? Let me know in the comments below! Don't forget to like and follow this blog!
P.S. Jordan Peele is married to a white woman… is he crying for help? Do you need help Jordan? lol (I'm just kidding).

CineMuseFilms says:
Glad to see that you enjoyed this film and thanks for a great review. I'm very ambivalent about this film. IMO, it is over-hyped and its plotline is entirely predictable from the moment our hero spots the black gardener with the blank zombie grin on his face. The most I could say is that it is an entertaining but unoriginal horror spoof mixed with some clever satire.

There are many different tools used in hot wax encaustic painting. Of all my heat tools, I find I use my small encaustic irons and encaustic art stylus tools, the most. Encaustic as an art form covers many different styles and techniques of painting and the tools used vary widely.
Heat tools work well in combination with each other. I find that the hot plate, encaustic heat gun, irons and stylus each serve different purposes in creating a piece of artwork.
The wax I use is a ready-to-use encaustic medium supplied by Michael Bossom here in the UK, this is where I sourced my encaustic art iron, encaustic art stylus tool, together with the support material. Most of my work is on the gloss card designed for encaustic. I do use other supports too such as canvas board and watercolour paper.
Stylus tools are great for adding detail and, depending on the nib attachment, creating different effects in the wax, from adding new wax into a picture to carving into the wax creating texture and dimension.
There are several types and brands of low heat stylus tool on the market, I have the "Encaustic Arts" model and one from another European supplier and many nibs and tip attachments.
Stylus tips and nibs are very versatile, a "micro iron" nib attachment is the tool I use all the time, I have it permanently on one of the stylus', there will be few paintings I won't have used this on in some way.
The micro iron nib, is small, about 15 x 10 mm in size and great used in the way a palette knife might be used, to add wax, layer wax in small areas, blend colours, create light and highlight just by the angle it is used at, pushing and cutting into the wax.
Nibs such as the "pen-style tip" are great for adding details, drawing into a painting and blending, the "wire brush" style nib is made from delicate strands of wire and this tools can be very useful for adding fine lines and texture. Other attachments such as larger iron shapes, round, square and angular attachments are also available.
The image below shows how the stylus tool can be used.
By using the stylus nibs at different angles as demonstrated, we can add features and detail into our work.
The encaustic stylus and tips are available from amazon you can purchase yours here.
Hazel is a self taught artist based in Southend on Sea, on the South East Coast of England. Her passion is for painting Art In Wax and her website www.artinwax.co.uk has a gallery of her work together with blog about how she works and several video demonstrations.
As a self taught artist and new to the field of encaustics I just knew this is something for me that I will enjoy more.One day I give it a try and find myself amazed as how it turned out! since then I keep going.I admired your work and please keep it coming..More power!

The administration's proposal to gut SNAP would most severely impact Trump supporters.
With Trump's proposal to gut federal food assistance by $192 billion — much of which would come out of the shopping carts of the working class — the president is once again proving his willingness to shaft those who supported him most.
Contrary to the racially-tinged stereotype that Americans who rely upon the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) program — formerly known as food stamps — are primarily "inner city," liberal people of color, the reality is that many SNAP recipients are white, rural and suburban Americans who voted for Trump; the president won eight of the ten states with the highest percentage of SNAP recipients.
Not surprisingly, the parts of the nation with the highest rates of SNAP usage tend to be those with the highest levels of poverty, hunger, and food insecurity. In 2015, 42 million Americans lived in households classified by the federal government as "food insecure," meaning they could not always afford the food they needed. Of those, more lived in rural areas and suburbs areas than in cities.
The stereotype that hungry people and SNAP recipients don't want to work is false, but it has been reiterated by Mick Mulvaney, Trump's budget director. 16 million Americans work but still struggle with hunger, and nearly half of all SNAP recipients are in families with at least one person currently working (in low-wage jobs), while most of the rest have an adult temporarily unemployed. In fact, 90 percent of adult SNAP recipients with children are employed the year before and the year after obtaining these benefits. Like unemployment insurance, workers pay for the SNAP program through their taxes when they are employed, and use the program when they are temporarily down on their luck. It is not welfare; it work support and social insurance.
SNAP is designed to be counter-cyclical, meaning that it increases when the economy is weak and decreases when the economy is strong; over the last decade, it's worked spectacularly well in that regard. While participation skyrocketed during the recession, preventing mass starvation, as the recession waned, and as unemployment dropped and wages increased, participation decreased significantly. Just in the past four years, as the economic recovery accelerated, SNAP rolls fell by more than five million, an eleven percent decrease.
Unlike food programs in more statist nations like India or Mexico, in which food is distributed directly by the government to hungry residents, SNAP is a voucher program that enables low-income consumers to shop directly at private sector entities. Given that most food consumed in the U.S. is grown and processed domestically, SNAP is one of the best ways for the government to boost the U.S. economy, generating $1.8 billion of U.S. economic activity for every billion dollars spent on the program. SNAP redemption at farmers markets has skyrocketed over the last decade, both boosting family health and aiding small farmers. SNAP is the ultimate "win-win" program.
Yet just a few days later, Trump threw Perdue under the tractor by proposing $192 billion in cuts to the program, a nearly 30 percent reduction, which — if passed by Congress — would exceed even the draconian cuts championed by Ronald Reagan. To make matters worse, the cuts to SNAP and other anti-poverty program would not fund serious deficit reduction, but rather would mostly pay for yet another round of massive tax cuts for the wealthiest.
The cuts are as cruel as they are counter-productive, since an overwhelming majority of households on SNAP have members that are children, disabled, and/or senior citizens. The benefits are already extraordinarily meager, equaling less than $1.40 per person per meal. If even some of these cuts became law, the U.S. would see the greatest wave of mass hunger since the Great Depression.
Making America hungry again is the exact opposite of making it great. No superpower in the history of the world has remained a superpower if it has failed to feed its own people. Children must be nourished enough to learn — to be schooled, you must be fueled. Fighting hunger is central to every major religious and secular ethical tradition; a nation that allows one in seven of its residents to struggle with hunger is not a moral nation.
Given that SNAP slashes hunger, boosts nutrition, aids the overall economy, lifts families above the poverty line, improves our national security, and strengthens our country's moral standing, concerned Americans must fight our guts out to preserve, and even expand, the program.
As I argued in a previous piece for Washington Monthly, one of the best ways to build public support for the program is to modernize it to reduce bureaucracy using modern technology, while making is easier for struggling families to obtain aid.
But we must also remember that few Americans in poverty think the long-term answer to their dreams is merely a bigger, better safety net. We should also enact an assets empowerment agenda to enable more families to earn, learn, and save their way out of poverty so that more families can afford to buy all their own food while meeting all other costs of living.
The single best way to slash hunger is to slash poverty. But, as we do so, we must first ensure that all Americans have enough to eat.

According to the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care is a veterinary specialty that could save your pet's life! If your pet should become injured or suddenly develop an acute, life threatening disease, he or she will need prompt emergency care. In addition to requiring initial emergency treatment, many days may be needed for the disease process to run its course before recovery occurs. During this time, close monitoring and life support measures in the intensive care unit (ICU) may be needed. A vigilant team lead by a veterinarian who is specialty trained in emergency and critical care will improve the quality of care your pet receives during this crucial time, improving his or her chance for a good outcome.

Abstract Previous investigations examining salient memories have demonstrated that personal memories that are important to individuals and contain emotional information are better remembered than neutral events. Using behavioral and brain-imaging experiments, the present studies explored whether the previous finding was applicable imagined loss. In a behavioral experiment, a free recall paradigm was used to compare the memory performance of individuals who imagined loss with that of individuals who imagined importance. The superior memory performance conferred by imagining loss was constrained to ordinary items of low to medium importance and did not generalize to vital items. Moreover, brain imaging evidence revealed that the activation in certain brain regions was stronger when participants were imagining the loss of ordinary items of low to medium importance compared to vital items. These brain regions included cognitive effort-related areas (such as the parietal cortex and middle prefrontal cortex) and areas related to emotional experiences and emotion-related memories (such as the amygdala, parahippocampal gyms, and posterior cingulate gyms). Our study provides a new way of exploring the superior memory performance when imagining loss and enriches the literature on memory enhancement by contributing to a deeper understanding of the psychological mechanisms related to the imagining of vital losses.

Even Dana Milbank Wonders Why Darrell Issa Is Doing Mike Rogers' Job
October 11, 2012 /14 Comments/in Benghazi Attack, Intelligence /by emptywheel
After it became clear that the Republicans hoped to use the Benghazi attack to turn Obama into Jimmy Carter, I predicted what would happen as Darrell Issa and Romney surrogate Jason Chaffetz investigated: there would be trouble with classified information.
And while in yesterday's hearing they made State look like it was withholding information when Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy told Issa that a binder State had provided (presumably put together by the Accountability Review Board) was classified in its totality, even while individual documents in it were unclassified, Issa proceeded to enter a slew of unclassified documents from it into the record.
But it was Chaffetz who complained most loudly, after Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb put up a satellite image that showed both Benghazi locations (see after 55:00), and, later, after she implied there were other security resources on the ground that were not being discussed in the hearing. (Note, I'm not sure, but I think there may actually be a spook who died at the safe house, too, which would be consistent with this article's mention of five total dead.) Chaffetz interrupted and complained that the hearing–his own hearing–was exposing sources and methods.
As Dana Milbank describes it:
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) was the first to unmask the spooks. "Point of order! Point of order!" he called out as a State Department security official, seated in front of an aerial photo of the U.S. facilities in Benghazi, described the chaotic night of the attack. "We're getting into classified issues that deal with sources and methods that would be totally inappropriate in an open forum such as this."
A State Department official assured him that the material was "entirely unclassified" and that the photo was from a commercial satellite. "I totally object to the use of that photo," Chaffetz continued. He went on to say that "I was told specifically while I was in Libya I could not and should not ever talk about what you're showing here today."
The satellite image was commercial, available to al Qaeda as readily as State. The other security resources belonged to the CIA "safe house" that had been compromised before the attack, which is one thing that led to the deaths of the two former SEALs; Chaffetz was trying to keep hidden a safe house that had already been compromised by poor spycraft or espionage. In addition, Lamb and Kennedy implied that a video showing the attack was being withheld by CIA.
Understand what this means. This hearing focused on the complaints of two security whistleblowers, complaining, credibly, about State trying to shift security responsibilities to State resources, which in this case meant relying on Libyan militia (though the February 17 Brigade appears to have acquitted itself credibly). But that part–the part Romney's surrogate is trying to make a campaign issue–is only a part of what what went wrong on September 11. Yet Chaffetz went out his way to shield the other failures–the ones made by CIA, which traditionally has close ties to the linguistically skilled Mormon Church.
Though Issa (who kept getting whispers from a guy who apparently used to be a staffer on the House Intelligence Committee) did reveal this bit.
In this hearing room we're not going to point out details of what may still in fact be a facility of the United States government or more facilities.
FWIW, I've implicitly suggested that when DOD used 3 C-130s to ferry a single FBI team to Benghazi to investigate, there may have been a lot more on those planes, some of which presumably didn't leave with the FBI team.
In any case, this hullabaloo demonstrates what I said weeks ago: if Republicans wanted to conduct their own investigation of this attack (and there's no reason why they shouldn't do so), they should have done it in the House Intelligence Committee. Here's Milbank again.
The Republican lawmakers, in their outbursts, alternated between scolding the State Department officials for hiding behind classified material and blaming them for disclosing information that should have been classified. But the lawmakers created the situation by ordering a public hearing on a matter that belonged behind closed doors.
Republicans were aiming to embarrass the Obama administration over State Department security lapses. But they inadvertently caused a different picture to emerge than the one that has been publicly known: that the victims may have been let down not by the State Department but by the CIA. If the CIA was playing such a major role in these events, which was the unmistakable impression left by Wednesday's hearing, having a televised probe of the matter was absurd. [my emphasis]
But apparently, Rogers–who as Chair of the Intelligence Committee is of course too close to the intelligence agencies–doesn't want to get to the bottom of this. And neither, apparently, do Issa and Chaffetz, who are conducting an investigation that by its nature will be incomplete.
There's one more irony in all this. This very hearing room is the one where, five years ago, Republicans–including Issa–defended the right of the Executive Branch to insta-declassify things like a CIA officer's identity for political gain. This time around, Republicans went out of their way to hide unclassified information that might reveal how the CIA fucked up.
This country's treatment of classified information–which feeds partisan selective declassification about as often as it keeps us safer–really makes us fundamentally dysfunctional as a democracy.
Update: Cryptome has the super secret publicly available images here.

joanneleon says:
This is starting to make more sense, IOW, this post helps clear up a number of other things for me that were really fuzzy in past posts.
A few things… clearly Issa is the party mudslinger who uses his committee for this purpose. I don't follow committee meetings as closely as I used to (so much kabuki, so much never even probed, accountability as a consequence is rare) but the impression I've had over the past two years is that the only time Issa has big hearings, they are for political purposes. He started his chairmanship with a big political brouhaha before he even had the chair with the situation around the Obama admin. offering a position to Joe Sestak, and hounded Sestak for a couple of months during his election campaign, and then when the time came for the big revelation and hearing, it turned out to be a whole lot of nothing. So it's not surprising that he is doing this again, in a way, though this time he's touching on a much more sensitive situation. Hugely more sensitive. Ambassador Stevens had not even been dead one month when he forced this hearing.
On the other hand, if this was left to the Democrats, there would never be any hearing and is the same true of Rogers? For the Dems, the solar system revolves around Obama's reelection campaign and they would like this whole situation to just go away too and they care not one whit whether the people of this country understand what happened in Libya or not. So there is political manipulation going on with both parties — one trying to expose things to sting the other, and one that expects Congressional committees to act in lock step with the candidate, also making decisions about Congressional business for political reasons and to continue their new habit of extreme secrecy and opacity.
There was a time when I would be right along with you objecting to this and I used to be one of those people out there objecting loudly to the meme that Democrats are just as bad as Republicans. But after what I've seen during the past four years, I'm off that train. They are not equivalent in that it is not an easy line by line comparison because their corruption is done in different ways. But in this case, how different is it to drag things into a Congressional hearing for political purposes than it is to want to hide things and keep them out of public hearings and discourse? This time it's an easier comparison.
After what I've seen from my party, my motivation to defend against things like this is gone. In fact, my party is gone, from my perspective. When I registered to vote, I registered as a Democrat but that D beside my name won't be there for long. Several times I came close to leaving the party and backed away from it, wanting to stay to do what little I can to try to change it and pressure them to move closer to the FDR Democratic philosophy but there are only so many ways that you can beat your head against a brick wall.
So I guess that this is one of the few times that I completely disagree with Marcy's take on something. I don't think the story is about Issa using this hearing as a political football. Both parties are so disgusting and so corrupt that nothing is off the table anymore. Both are obsessed with elections and political warfare and will do anything, use every possible surrogate to do their dirty work.
I am actually glad that this hearing was held. Everything about this war in Libya, this supposedly organic revolution, this supposedly humanitarian effort, and its rotten (and predictable) aftermath has been a lie to the American public, IMHO. I'll take whatever transparency that I can get on this situation. There are a lot of reasons why my perspective on these things has changed, not the least of which is the fact that two of my sons are now old enough to become fodder for the corrupt war machine and the third one is just a few years away from being of age. When Marine recruiters show up at your front door two months after your kid turns 18, offering college money and shiny cars, when they are bombarded with military recruitment propaganda, at a time when you don't know how you are going to handle college tuitions or even keep a family's head above water, things start to look a lot differently. But that is hardly the only reason. I strongly believe that nonpartisan, outsider pressure is the only "way forward" now.
Another thing — I had no idea that there were close ties between the Mormon church and the CIA. I'm not sure how to broach this subject without sounding prejudiced so let me just say that I'm a person with little or no religious bias other than the fact that I was raised in one religion but for two decades I've stayed as far away from all of them as much as I possibly can. And while I chose to keep myself and my kids out of any religious community or influence (I believe in letting them decide for themselves as adults) I support everyone's right to practice whatever they want — just don't try to push me into it.
But is this one possible source of the documents mentioned yesterday?

emptywheel says:
@joanneleon: I don't think we're in that much disagreement.
I've said Rogers should hold a hearing. He's a hack too. He's just the correct political hack. I've also said that Kerry could have and should have had a hearing to talk about the State side of things–as well as the question about what the proper balance between DOD and State in diplomatic security is.
By the same token, I am not willing to let certain people treat this hearing as if it were an avenue to the truth. The leaking that went on before the hearing was so deceptive as to be just as problematic, and that served to hide the fundmanetal problem with militias generally rather than one particular militia the right has decided is the problem. This post is about pointing out the half (or more) of the reality that this hearing was designed to hide, every bit as much as Obama would like to hide the state stuff.
@joanneleon: It's not meant to be a theological comment at all.
If you think about it Mormons make great CIA recruits for some cultural reasons: they tend to be conservative, and be hard to blackmail. They spend their lives in a culture of secrecy. And for those who have served a mission overseas, they have some of the best linguistic skills available in the country.
I'm more disturbed by the number of Mormons tied to the torture program than at all disturbed that we recruit a lot of them into the CIA, which makes a ton of sense.

Gotta love Soldead O'Brien's interview of a Republican Congressman over Benghazi security problems. The look on her face as the Congressman admits that well, yes, for the Republican Congress to demand that State cut it's "extravagant" budget for security while at the same time State is "irresponsibly" denying agents in the field enough resources to do their job would be hilarious if the subject weren't so deathly serious.

posaune says:
@emptywheel: I've heard that the CIA recruits from Lafayette College (Easton, PA); while the FBI recruits from Bucknell and Grinnell. But that could have been a while ago.
@emptywheel: Agree, I did not think that it was a theological comment at all and yes, cultural. It was just an aspect that I had not considered at all. I know very little about the culture and the connections so it's just another thing to think about and consider. In fact the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. I always realized that the complexity was high but I do know a lot more than I did in past years. But I wasn't thinking about that dot at all.
My disclaimer was for myself because anything around religion and politics is a minefield.
@OrionATL: Yeah, working on a post on that next.

Amherst? (cough)

@joanneleon: The CIA has been using anyone with ex-pat experience since before it was the CIA. All those quiet interviews after returning home from XYZ. Then add in the foreign nationals and immigrants. Unfortunately, all missionaries, medical and other aid workers, journalists, transport workers etc should be suspected of being on the payroll. The other side(s) have done the same.

California LP write-in candidate qualifies for November ballot
By Staff on July 9, 2014 in News
Patrick D. Hogan will appear on the November general election ballot in the fifth state assembly district in California.
California has a top-two primary, in which all potential candidates in each district must appear on the primary election ballot, regardless of party affiliation. Further, the filing requirements can be expensive.
In the state assembly fifth district, only the incumbent, Frank Bigelow, filed to get on the ballot. Since two candidates appear on the ballot in the general election for each race, the write-in candidate with the highest vote total will also appear, which was Mr. Hogan.

Jayalalithaa has always marched to the beat of her drum, and it didn't matter who stood in the way, and that includes the Supreme Court.
Previously, the quota scheme for education and employment was operated on executive orders. But under her leadership, she was successful in breaking the 50 % reservation quota. Tamil Nadu has 69 % reservation.
The reservation policy stands across the country stands at 50%, but in Tamil Nadu, under Jayalalithaa the reservation scheme rose to 69%.
During her first term, Jayalalithaa encountered a hurdle. In the 90s, the Supreme Court had ruled that reservation should not be more than 50%. Keeping this in mind, the Madras High Court, too, directed the state to revise its reservation quota. But that was not to happen.
Instead, this led to the Tamil Nadu Act of 1994, after a demand for the scheme to have constitutional protection was adopted in 1993 by the Assembly. This included reservation of seats in education and employment for backward classes, and scheduled castes and tribes.
Her meetings with the then PM Narasimha Rao in Delhi was successful. She also ensured that the Tamil Nadu Act be added in the Ninth Schedule so it could not be challenged. This also included the creamy layer – a political term for wealthier and educated people who are not eligible for government sponsorship.
It's little wonder then that she was then given the title of Samooga Neethi Kaatha Veeranganai which translates to as the one who upheld social justice.

Lee Westwood named host for 2017 British Masters at Close House
Lee Westwood has been announced as the tournament host for the 2017 British Masters supported by Sky Sports, with the Englishman choosing Close House, in Newcastle upon Tyne, as the venue in 2017.
Lee Westwood, Tour Professional at Close House and Host of the 2017 British Masters
It will be the first time a European Tour tournament has been held at Close House, where the Ryder Cup star has been attached as the touring professional since 2011.
Westwood succeeds Luke Donald in the role following the success of last week's event at The Grove, meaning for the second consecutive year the host of the British Masters will be a former world No 1.
"I'm delighted to announce that I will be taking over as host of the British Masters from Luke next year," said Westwood.
"I'm well connected with Close House, and I'm sure it will be a fantastic test of golf for the players coming up to the North East. The British Masters is back on the map and we should try to move it around the country a bit and let as many people as possible see it.
"Close House is not the longest golf course but it's tricky in places, quite tight, and very undulating. The wind can come in to play a lot, as you would expect in the North East. There's a little bit of water on the golf course as well, which keeps it interesting.
"I've got a few tweaks in mind for the golf course, putting a few bunkers in, taking a few out, putting a few tees in and everything is already under way. I was at the golf course the other day and you could probably hold the tournament there now. It's always in fantastic condition, so I'm sure the players will enjoy it."
Westwood was a former winner of the British Masters in the tournament's first spell on the European Tour, claiming the title at The Belfry in 2007 then narrowly missing out on defending the title 12 months later when he lost in a play-off to Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano at the same venue.
The 10-time Ryder Cup player has featured in both editions of the event since it returned to the European Tour schedule in 2015, following up his top-20 finish at Woburn with an impressive third-place at The Grove last week.
Close House, a country estate near Heddon-on-the-Wall, boasts two 18-hole courses, including the Harry Colt-designed Championship Lee Westwood Colt course which will host the British Masters. Close House was also the venue for the ISPS Handa PGA Seniors Championship in 2015, won by Australian Peter Fowler.
Owner Graham Wylie said: "We are very excited to have the British Masters next year. The North East loves its sport, but we don't get that many events, so when we do, people support them in tremendous fashion.
"To have the British Masters next year will be fantastic not just for Close House, but for the whole region. We are grateful that Sky Sports are supporting the event.
"Lee Westwood is a great ambassadors for the sport and he is our Close House Tour professional, so we are delighted he has chosen Close House to host the British Masters and we will put on a great event for him."
Following on from last week's tournament at The Grove, for the second year in a row the British Masters will be held on a golf course constructed by the UK's leading golf construction experts, MJ Abbott Limited, who constructed the Lee Westwood Colt Course at Close House.

She served in the California State Assembly from 1992 to 1994, and in 1994 made history by becoming the first Latina elected to the California State Senate. As the chairwoman of the California Senate Industrial Relations Committee, she led the battle to increase the state's minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.75 an hour in 1996. She also authored a record seventeen state laws aimed at combating domestic violence.
Solis graduated from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and earned a Master of Public Administration from the University of Southern California.

Byl členem představenstva spotřebního družstva Včela a později i jeho předsedou. V této funkci setrval až do obsazení Československa Německem. Pro své politické aktivity byl v meziválečném Československu několikrát zatčen a vězněn.

Po okupaci emigroval do Polska, kde působil ve vedení tamního československého exilu. Po okupaci Polska přešel do Sovětského svazu. Za druhé světové války se podílel na odboji.

V roce 1945 se vrátil do Československa a zapojil se do práce v KSČ. Byl funkcionářem Ústřední rady družstev. VIII. sjezd KSČ ho zvolil za člena Ústředního výboru Komunistické strany Československa. X. sjezd KSČ a XI. sjezd KSČ ho zvolil kandidátem ÚV KSČ. V období prosinec 1951 - duben 1960 byl rovněž členem komise stranické kontroly. Politicky působil v oboru zemědělství a družstevnictví. Byl také členem předsednictva Ústřední rady odborů. V roce 1955 mu byl udělen Řád republiky.

Psal práce na téma družstevnictví a dějin. V závěru života publikoval i beletrii. V letech 1956–1957 byl nemocen a poté, co se uzdravil, napsal román Hřmění před bouří, který je románovou kronikou dělnického hnutí na konci 19. století.

Kendall McComas (October 29, 1916 – October 15, 1981) was an American child actor.

Career

Born in Holton, Kansas, McComas first appeared in the Mickey McGuire short subjects series as a member of Mickey McGuire's gang and stayed throughout the series run in the silent era. He also played the role of Stinky Davis in some of the series' earliest sound shorts. In 1931, he joined the Our Gang series, first appearing in the 1932 Our Gang short Readin' and Writin'. McComas stayed with Our Gang for a full year and left the series after appearing in the 1932 short Birthday Blues.

Even though he was well into his teens during his Our Gang tenure, McComas was very short for his age and thus capably portrayed his grade-school-age character Breezy aka Brisbane. Breezy's mother refers to him as "Brisbane" in the films Readin' and Writin' and Spanky, the only shorts in which that name appears; the kids refer to him as "Breezy," presumably as a nickname for Brisbane. However, the Leonard Maltin/Richard Bann book The Little Rascals: The Life & Times of Our Gang lists his character as "Breezy Brisbane," a name which does not appear in dialogue in any of the shorts in which McComas appears. However, right after getting expelled from school in Readin' and Writin', Brisbane goes to the fishing hole, and begins mentally telling himself to "Learn that poem".  There, he refers to himself as "Breezy" when he thinks, "You better get busy, Breezy, and study that poem."

In 1965, he left show business and became an electrical engineer at the U.S. Naval Weapons Center in China Lake, California and then an institutional mortgage-backed bond salesman under the name John Mandy.

Death
McComas committed suicide in a fit of depression two weeks before turning 65 when he was facing mandatory retirement from his job.

A Judge Has Ordered The Biden Administration To Resume Trump's Policy Of Expelling Unaccompanied Immigrant Children At The Border
Hamid Aleaziz & Adolfo Flores
Buzz Feed News
President Biden has continued to invoke the public health order to expel most immigrants at the southern border, but was making an exception for children who arrive without an adult family member.
A Texas judge on Friday ruled that the Biden administration can no longer exempt unaccompanied immigrant children from a Trump-era order, which could lead to the resumption of their being turned back at the border.
Invoking an obscure public health law known as Title 42 to contain the coronavirus, the US immediately expels immigrants at the border, blocking them from accessing the asylum system or an immigration judge. Some immigrants are quickly expelled to Mexico, and others are flown back to their countries. While Title 42 was launched by former president Donald Trump, Joe Biden's White House has continued to enforce the policy and defend it in court — with the exception of unaccompanied immigrant children.
In his order, though, Judge Mark Pittman told the government to stop the exemption. The order doesn't go into effect for seven days, giving the government time to appeal.
Pittman, who was appointed by Trump, questioned why the Biden administration believed it was appropriate to exempt unaccompanied minors from Title 42 in two orders it issued in July 2021 and August 2021.
Unaccompanied minors "still spend, on average, more than a day clustered at a DHS facility, where they can expose other detainees, [Department of Homeland Security] personnel, and American citizens and residents to whatever viruses they are carrying," Pittman said in his order.
The decision was met with criticism from advocates for immigrant children.
"Under no circumstance should a policy that was never about public health be used to return children arriving at the border alone to harm in Mexico or their countries of origin," said Katharina Obser, director of the Migrant Rights and Justice program at the Women's Refugee Commission. "Ending the policy has been long overdue, but there is no question that the Biden administration must now immediately move to end this unlawful, xenophobic policy to ensure the safety of children, families, and adults fleeing danger, and before a single unaccompanied child is returned to harm."
