ISIS Burns 80-Year-Old Christian Woman To Death For Alleged Sharia Violation | John Hawkins' Right Wing News:

"The news comes only a day after ISIS allegedly burned a 20-year-old woman alive “because she refused to perform an extreme sex act.” Zainab Bangura, the United Nation’s representative for sexual crimes in war, interviewed people displaced by ISIS.

“They commit rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution and other acts of extreme brutality,” Bangura asserted. “We heard one case of a 20-year-old girl who was burned alive because she refused to perform an extreme sex act. We learned of many other sadistic sexual acts. We struggled to understand the mentality of people who commit such crimes.”

The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.7 percent annual rate!!!!!

News from The Associated Press:
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.7 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, depressed by a severe winter and a widening trade deficit.
The government's revision for last quarter was weaker than its initial estimate of a 0.2 percent growth rate.
The U.S. trade gap - the difference between the value of exports and the larger value of imports - was found to be wider than first estimated.
And consumer spending was slower than previously thought."

NYC Cops Arrested Men for ‘Manspreading’ on the Subway

Report: NYC Cops Arrested Men for ‘Manspreading’ on the Subway | National Review Online
New York police allegedly arrested two men for “manspreading” (sitting with their legs far apart) on the subway, according to a report entitled “That’s How They Get You” released by the Police Reform Organizing Project.
“On a recent visit to the arraignment part in Brooklyn’s criminal court, PROP volunteers observed that police officers had arrested two Latino men on the charge of ‘man spreading’ on the subway, presumably because they were taking up more than one seat and therefore inconveniencing other riders,” the report states.
Metro Transit Authority rules ban people from taking up more than one seat “in a station, platform or conveyance when to do so would interfere or tend to interfere with the operation of the Authority’s transit system or the comfort of other passengers.”
MTA also placed signs on subway cars in December instructing people not to “manspread” as part of a larger campaign to encourage riders to be polite, which also included signs telling people not to hog poles or do their makeup on the train.
The “no manspreading” rule in particular, however, got most of the publicity after feminist activists attacked “manspreading” as being not just rude and/or annoying but actually oppressive to women. Now there’s no doubt that some dude taking up enough room for two people on a crowded train is annoying — but the report claims that the arrests occurred late at night, when the train probably would have been pretty empty...

National Security, The Seattle Oil Rig, And Greenpeace’s Dirty Money

National Security, The Seattle Oil Rig, And Greenpeace’s Dirty Money | Somewhat Reasonable:
President Obama had it all wrong in his commencement addressat the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.
He warned that climate change “deniers” endanger our national security – denying “undermines the readiness of our forces,” he said.
In fact, climate change believers are the threat to our national security, such as the recently notorious Seattle mob of Greenpeace “kayaktivists” paddling around Puget Sound trying to stop Polar Pioneer, Shell Oil’s Arctic drilling rig, from making a layover at the Port of Seattle to gear up for Alaskan waters.
When thwarted by the Coast Guard’s 500-foot no-approach cordon, the Greenpeace canoe crowd left the harbor and took to the streets, where they blocked suppliers’ access to the rig until city police dispersed them.
These angry picketers are the threat. 
They undermine America’s share of the Arctic Ocean’s estimated 30 percent of the world’s undiscovered natural gas and 13 percent of its oil reserves.
That fuel will move the military as well as civilians.
...Research by the Chicago-area Heartland Institute found a secret beneath Greenpeace’s anti-oil ruckus: it is funded by oil-drenched millions from investments in ExxonMobil, Chevron, PetroChina, and dozens more, ironically including shares of Royal Dutch Shell, owner of the rig docked in Seattle.
According to Foundation Search, the top Greenpeace donor is the leftist-run David and Lucile Packard Foundation, paying them a total of $2,146,690 since 2000.
.....The list of foundations giving Greenpeace oil profits goes on and on, and Greenpeace goes on and on hypocritically taking oil profits to undermine America’s real energy future. 
This cabal could redeem itself instantly: they could just stop using any fossil fuels right now.

How they "think"-----Al Sharpton asks if Texas flooding God's punishment or due to 'climate control'

Al Sharpton asks if Texas flooding God's punishment or due to 'climate control' - National Policy & Issues | Examiner.com:
On Wednesday, MSNBC host Al Sharpton issued a tweet wondering if the severe storms and torrential flooding taking place in Texas is the result of divine punishment or something he called "climate control." 
....Several questioned Sharpton's intelligence and one person opined that it was God "making a statement about your non-stop race baiting."

Sharpton, the Daily Caller said, weighed in on the subject on his syndicated program. Apparently, Chuck Ross said, Sharpton believes the "state’s deep conservatism is to blame."

“All of the storms, the tornadoes, the flooding in Texas. Is this a rebuke from God, which many callers said today it is," Sharpton said. 
"And others are saying it is just a natural result of man using fossil fuels and abusing the environment — and it’s climate change, global warning. 
We’ve done it to ourselves.”

Iran, North Korea Forging Ballistic, Nuclear Ties

Iran, North Korea Forging Ballistic, Nuclear Ties: Exiled Dissidents | World Affairs Journal:
A delegation of North Korean experts in nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles visited a military site near Tehran in April, the National Council of Resistance of Iran says.

REUTERS - An exiled Iranian opposition group said on Thursday a delegation of North Korean experts in nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles visited a military site near Tehran in April amid talks between world powers and Iran over its nuclear program.

The dissident National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) exposed Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz and a heavy water facility at Arak in 2002.
...Citing information from sources inside Iran, including within Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, the Paris-based NCRI said the seven person North Korean Defense Ministry team were in Iran for the last week of April.
It was the third time in 2015 that North Koreans had been to Iran and a nine person delegation was due to return in June, it said.
"The delegates included nuclear experts, nuclear warhead experts and experts in various elements of ballistic missiles including guidance systems," NCRI said.
There have previously been unconfirmed reports of ties between the two countries on ballistic missile cooperation, although nothing specific in the nuclear field.

Study Predicts Decades Of Global Cooling Ahead

Study Predicts Decades Of Global Cooling Ahead | The Daily Caller:
"A new study out of the United Kingdom predicts the Earth is about to go through a major climatic shift that could mean decades of cooler temperatures and fewer hurricanes hitting the United States.
Scientists at the University of Southampton predict that a cooling of the Atlantic Ocean could cool global temperatures a half a degree Celsius and may offer a “brief respite from the persistent rise of global temperatures,” according to their study.
This cooling phase in the Atlantic will influence “temperature, rainfall, drought and even the frequency of hurricanes in many regions of the world,” says Dr. Gerard McCarthy.
The study’s authors based their results on ocean sensor arrays and 100 years of sea-level data.
“Sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic vary between warm and cold over time-scales of many decades,” said McCarthy, the study’s lead author.
“This decadal variability, called the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO), is a notable feature of the Atlantic Ocean and the climate of the regions it influences.”
“The observations of [AMO] from [sensor arrays], over the past ten years, show that it is declining,” Dr. David Smeed, a co-author, said in a statement.
“As a result, we expect the AMO is moving to a negative phase, which will result in cooler surface waters. 
This is consistent with observations of temperature in the North Atlantic.”

Major construction at NKorea rocket site, US institute says

My Way News - Major construction at NKorea rocket site, US institute says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Satellite imagery shows significant new construction at North Korea's main rocket launch site in a sign of leader Kim Jong Un's determination to pursue a space program despite international censure, a U.S. research institute said Thursday.
North Korea is barred under U.N. Security Council resolutions from launching rockets as that technology can also be used to launch ballistic missiles.
Kim, however, declared this month that its space program "can never be abandoned."
North Korea has been upgrading the Sohae launch site on its west coast since mid-2013 after it blasted its first rocket into space in December 2012.
It says the space program is peaceful.
...Satellite imagery analyst Tim Brown writes that the expansion of the launch tower suggests the North wants to field a larger space launch vehicle, which may also contribute to its development of long-range ballistic missiles.
Concern is rising over North Korea's weapons development.
The North recently claimed it tested a new type of missile from a submarine and reiterated that it had built a nuclear warhead small enough to be mounted on a long-range missile.
Outside analysts are skeptical about both claims, but they believe the North has built a small but growing nuclear bomb arsenal and advanced its missile program since international nuclear disarmament talks stalled in early 2009....

Baltimore Residents Fearful Amid Rash Of Homicides

Baltimore Residents Fearful Amid Rash Of Homicides « CBS Baltimore
BALTIMORE (AP) — A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimore’s 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the city’s deadliest in 15 years.

Meanwhile, arrests have plunged: Police are booking fewer than half the number of people they pulled off the streets last year.

...“It’s so bad, people are afraid to let their kids outside,” Perrine said. 
“People wake up with shots through their windows. 
Police used to sit on every corner, on the top of the block. 
These days? 
They’re nowhere.”

West Baltimore residents worry they’ve been abandoned by the officers they once accused of harassing them, leaving some neighborhoods like the Wild West without a lawman around.

“Before it was over-policing. Now there’s no police,” said Donnail “Dreads” Lee, 34, who lives in the Gilmor Homes, the public housing complex where Gray, 25, was chased down.
“People feel as though they can do things and get away with it.
I see people walking with guns almost every single day, because they know the police aren’t pulling them up like they used to.”

Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said his officers “are not holding back,” despite encountering dangerous hostility in the Western District.

“Our officers tell me that when officers pull up, they have 30 to 50 people surrounding them at any time,” Batts said.

Batts provided more details at a City Council meeting Wednesday night, saying officers now fear getting arrested for making mistakes.

Obama’s Forthcoming Executive Action Could Impact Your Property | TheBlaze.com

Obama’s Forthcoming Executive Action Could Impact Your Property | TheBlaze.com:

"The Obama administration is expected to announce final details of “Waters of the United States” rule this week that could impact any property owner with water or a ditch that occasionally fills with water on their land. Moreover, the regulation could even conflict with two Supreme Court rulings.

The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers have sought to provide more clarity to what bodies of water are protected under the 1972 Clean Water Act, which has previously affected rivers, lakes and the streams that flow directly to them.

Private property advocates, such as ranchers and farmers, fear the new rule could encompass nearly any type of water on a property."

CHICAGOLAND: Schools purge ‘white male’ authors from required reading lists

CHICAGOLAND: Schools purge ‘white male’ authors from required reading lists - EAGnews.org
CHICAGO – Chicago area schools are replacing white male authors on student reading lists with minority and women authors who delve into themes like power, justice, humanity and social responsibility.

“I think yes, book lists in schools are sexist, but I don’t think it’s the school’s fault,” senior Sarah Eiden told the Gapers Block Book Club blog.
“I think it’s because we still think good literature is only written by white males, which simply isn’t true.
I do see though that teachers are trying to change that.”

...Those changes include books like “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” which is actually a fictionalized story about a 14-year-old Native American teen that attends a mostly white high school with themes of alcoholism, sexuality, violence and bullying, according to the blog.

Other titles like “Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.” focuses on gang life, unemployment, drug addiction, incarceration and suicide.
“But in the end, it’s a positive, uplifting story of a man who realizes his potential as a Chicano activist and artist and manages to turn his life around,” Gapers Block reports.
“This book gives readers a raw look at what it meant to be Latino in Los Angeles during the ‘80s and how community involvement can truly impact marginalized groups.....”

What could possibly go wrong?------Shared roadway proposed in Grand Rapids

Shared roadway proposed in Grand Rapids | WOODTV.com:
"GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The City of Grand Rapids is proposing a new shared roadway to make one of the city’s streets more bicycle-friendly.

The city is proposing to make Jefferson Street north of Burton Street a shared roadway. In short, the street would have two bicycle lanes and one lane for vehicles. It would also have parking on both sides.
Vehicles would share the center lane with oncoming traffic. 
When facing oncoming traffic, both vehicles would yield to bikes before merging to the bike lane. Then when the vehicles merge into the bike lane it would allow for enough room for both to pass.
If you are a bicyclist, you would treat the lane like a normal bike lane and would have to look out for merging vehicles.
The concept is similar to narrow residential roadways, like those in the Heritage Hills neighborhood."

How they "think"........Judge Hears Arguments On Granting Chimpanzees Human Rights

Judge Hears Arguments On Granting Chimpanzees Human Rights - BuzzFeed News:
"A New York City judge heard arguments over the rights of two chimpanzees, Hercules and Leo, that animal rights advocates hope to free from Stony Brook University.
Last month Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe granted a hearing on the chimpanzees’ habeas corpus petition, leaving Stony Brook University to defend keeping them in captivity.
Habeas corpus is a legal petition that detainees use to seek relief from unlawful imprisonment, and by granting habeas corpus to chimps, Jaffe endorsed the idea that they deserve the rights of human beings.
The chimpanzees are kept at the Long Island university, which is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, where they are used in locomotion studies.
Steven Wise, a lawyer for the Nonhuman Rights Project argued on Wednesday that chimpanzees are “autonomous and self-determining beings,” that they have “personhood” rights.
“They are the kind of beings who can remember the past and plan for the future,” Wise said in court as to why detaining the animals was wrong.
“The chimpanzees are in prison, being exploited by Stony Brook, and they don’t even know why they are there.
We only do that for our worst criminals around us.”
Wise later argued that Hercules and Leo are “essentially in solitary confinement, at the mercy of their keepers.”..."

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The newly released financial files on Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s growing fortune omit a company with no apparent employees or assets that the former president has legally used to provide consulting and other services, but which demonstrates the complexity of the family’s finances.

Because the company, WJC, LLC, has no financial assets, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was not obligated to report its existence in her recent financial disclosure report, officials with Bill Clinton’s private office and the Clinton campaign said. They were responding to questions by The Associated Press, which reviewed corporate documents."

HSBC fears world recession with no lifeboats left

HSBC fears world recession with no lifeboats left - Telegraph:
"The world economy is disturbingly close to stall speed. 
The United Nations has cut its global growth forecast for this year to 2.8pc, the latest of the multinational bodies to retreat.
We are not yet in the danger zone but this pace is only slightly above the 2.5pc rate that used to be regarded as a recession for the international system as a whole.
It leaves a thin safety buffer against any economic shock - most potently if China abandons its crawling dollar peg and resorts to 'beggar-thy-neighbour' policies, transmitting a further deflationary shock across the global economy."

Pot Possibilities and Problems

Pot Possibilities and Problems | The American Spectator:
Often the first thing I’m asked when traveling outside of Colorado is a half-question half-joke about how many people in the state I now call home are stoned.
...It sounds like a bad ’70s movie but this is serious business which other states are watching closely, wondering whether the potential public revenue and private employment benefits are worth the cost and effort of regulation, of reforming state banking laws and pushing for parallel federal reforms, of how to deal with “edibles” (one of the biggest post-legalization issues in Colorado) and the impact of legalization on children — including everything from accidental ingestion to the prescription of high-CBD strains such as “Charlotte’s Web” to treat seizure disorders.
(CBDs are pharmacologically active ingredients in marijuana but do not get you “high,” a feeling created by another chemical called THC.
Many high-CBD strains are specifically engineered to be low in THC.)
...The banking issue is critical:
Without an ability to deposit the cash from its sales at a bank, a legal marijuana business becomes an obvious target for violent crime while being tempted toward tax evasion. 
But banks, being federally regulated, are wary of becoming involved with a business selling a Schedule I substance directly to consumers.
...I don’t smoke pot and I warn my young children away from it. But the genie of marijuana legalization is not going back into the bottle, nor should it in a free society.
All jokes aside, Colorado is leading the way in understanding both the benefits and perils of legal pot and of its regulatory framework.
Other states, rather than stamping their feet and running to the feds, should watch this laboratory of democracy and learn from our success and our temporary failures.
