In today’s news…

July 18, 2009

The Guardian – What really happened in Sri Lanka?

The Moscow Trial Was Fair wrote the British lawyer and MP Dennis Pritt, who was subsequently awarded the International Stalin Peace prize, having been expelled from the Labour party in the interim for backing the Soviet invasion of Finland.

The government of Sri Lanka must be hoping for a similarly credulous reaction to its decision last week to parade the five doctors who witnessed the bloody climax of the country’s civil war in May and now claim that they deliberately overestimated the number of civilian casualties.

Time Magazine – Q&A with Sri Lanka’s President Mahinda Rajapaksa

In a meeting room at Temple Trees, the stately British-colonial residence that now makes up the President’s official compound, Mahinda Rajapaksa sat next to a framed 14th century temple painting and spoke with TIME’s Jyoti Thottam about winning the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

Daily Mirror – UNICEF says TMVP still has child soldiers

The UN Children’s agency UNICEF has informed the Thamil Makkal Viduthalai Pullikal (TMVP) that there are more than 100 child soldiers still believed to be with the party, a claim the TMVP firmly denies.

 UNICEF officials told Daily Mirror according to the latest UNICEF database as of May 31 there are 107 outstanding cases of child soldiers with the TMVP of which 30 are under the age of 18 and 77 were underage at the time they were recruited but are now adults.

News Today – No plan to send refugees to Lanka

The Tamilnadu government today clarified that it had no intention of sending Tamil refugees back to Sri Lanka.

Replying to demands for grants for Public and Tamil Development departments at the Assembly on behalf of Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, Finance Minister K Anbazhagan said a doubt was raised in the House as to whether the refugees would be sent back to their nation.

Turnaround Time

My college textbook was promised to be at my home on 1-10-14.It did not arrive even though I paid Amazon for 2 day shipping.

I do know this is not Amazon's fault, I tracked the shipping.

When I spoke to customer service today (1-11-14) they told me it wouldn't arrive until 1-13-14, two days after my class starts and 3 days late.Customer service was incredibly rude to me.

Reviewer is in unhappy mood. Please immediately contact the author of this review to discuss problem with delivery of textbook shipping. FedEx needs to read this review and look into the issue (if any) according to poster's claims.

Other people also mentioned textbook shipping in their reviews. You may find this information helpful for further shopping at FedEx.

I just had this exact same problem this past weekend!Except they told me that my textbook was delivered when in fact it wasn't because the delivery guy had dropped it off at someone else's house (even though my correct address was listed on the package).

And now they won't even go back and get it so that it could be properly delivered to my house! My classes started today and I had no textbook! I had to order from a different site and pay expedited shipping.

I was too afraid to order through Amazon again in fear that FedEx would be the delivery carrier.FedEx sucks!

Ugh, how awful! I have to wait for mine to arrive, I don't have the $ to keep buying books. I will never use FedEx again though!

Tips for Beginning Runners

Beginning Runners pic

Beginning Runners

Former Rippy Law Firm founding partner Felix Rippy has participated in numerous charity races over the years. According to, Felix Rippy has participated in the most distance running races for charity of any runner in any age group residing within 25 miles of Indianapolis, Indiana. Felix Rippy has completed more than 412 lifetime road races races per this website.

Getting into distance running can seem easy, since most people walk or run every day, and unlike many forms of exercise, no equipment is required. The combination of cardiovascular and muscular endurance that running demands, however, can be taxing to new runners who often don’t expect the demands of the sport.

Beginning runners should start with daily walks for at least half an hour to build up cardiovascular health and feel out their overall fitness level. As they gradually increase their pace over the course of the first month, they can build muscular endurance as well as lung capacity. Starting runners also should incorporate core workouts into their routines. Running requires a strong core in order to ensure good form, which can in turn lower fatigue and enable a faster, more consistent pace.

The First Fengan

The Arabic word ‘فنجان’ (pronounced finjaan in traditional Arabic and fengaan in Egyptian colloquial Arabic) can be translated to mean a cup, a mug, or a chalice.

The bottom line is that it is a container of some sort from which a drink is drank from. And it is most commonly used to refer to such a container into which hot drinks, mostly tea and coffee, are poured.

Each morning, millions around the world start a new day, a new chapter in their lives, with a fengan of their favorite drink.

And just as beneficial as these actual drinks are to start off a day, a fengan of wisdom and reflection is also crucial to uplift our spirits as we go through the burdens of our lives.

Start your day with a fengan of inspiration and optimism.

    I only mean the BEST ones though

  2. File Sharing   -   #2
    There are no 'best' ones.
    Generally the bigger ones have lots of users, but who possibly share less and have slower connections.
    Others require that you share a lot (30 GB+) and have minimum bandwidth requirements.

    That makes it very dependant on what connection you have, how much you share and what type of files you're looking for to determine the 'best' hubs.

    I don't have access to my hublist so I can't post you a few you may like, but I suggest you go to the DC++ Forum and look for a good public hublist and try a few selecting on users/share reqs/descriptions.

On Fleurting with Disaster

Posted by in Uncategorized

On Fleurting with Disaster

This is not my “normal” blog post. I wanted to pop in here and wish everyone a Happy Easter.

It’s hard to believe that the forty days of Lent has already passed, pretty painlessly, actually. I have definitely had my moments, but largely, I’ve been pleased with how well I stayed true to the commitment I made to be more aware and more present. I’m not finished blogging by any stretch of the imagination, I’ve learned so much, but have so much more to learn.

Today, I’ve been reflecting a bit on the path I’m traveling. The symbol of the fleur-de-lis seems to play a large (yet subtle) role in that path. I’m not entirely certain why I have always been drawn it. I do remember when I was in about fifth grade we were studying flags and that is where I first learned the word “fleur-de-lis”. At the time, it was the fanciest word I knew. I tucked it away and since then, I smile when I see one. I eventually learned fancier words, but still loved the simple elegance of the fleur-de-lis.

My mom sent me a link to a post from Louisiana Heart and Home which gives a little history about the fleur-de-lis, it means “flower of the lily” (as it turns out, my name, Susan, derives from the Hebrew name, Susannah, which means… Lily).

Several years ago I woke up one morning with an epiphany about making candles. (Actually, the epiphany was to make my own lotions, but that research instead led to candle making.) I named my company Epiphany (as in “idea” or realization) Chandler (candle maker). I settled upon the logo of a fleur-de-lis that looked like a candle flame. I hope to one day market my candles through my blog site. We’ll see!

As you know from reading my blog posts, I love New Orleans. I had never been to Mardi Gras until I was an adult. The longer I lived in the Deep South the more the spirit of Carnival season seeped into my bones. Over time, Mardi Gras has become my favorite holiday season. It’s simply joyful. It is my love for this beautiful city that keeps me connected to the fleur-de-lis. My daily struggle to try to do the right thing, to try to make the right decisions keeps me flirting (fleurting) with disaster.

Happy Easter and Namaste ya’ll. even though my forty days of Lenten reflection are up, I’m going to continue to post, continue to grow and observe and write. I hope you continue to join me and bring your friends! There’s plenty of room here and everyone is welcome!

Thistles and Crowns: The Painted Chests of the Connecticut Shore

June 7, 2014 – September 21, 2014

Thistles and Crowns: The Painted Chests of the Connecticut Shore is the first exhibition since the 1950s to offer an in-depth look at a fascinating tradition in eighteenth-century Connecticut furniture.

Between 1700 and 1740, a small group of craftsmen created a distinctive group of painted wooden chests in Saybrook and Guilford, Connecticut. Roughly two-dozen examples survive, six of which are featured in the exhibition. Thistles and Crowns highlights the richness of this Connecticut tradition and the complexity of its history.

Although these chests have been beloved icons of American vernacular design since the early-twentieth century — the Metropolitan Museum acquired two examples in 1909 — their early scholarship was marred by misinformation and misidentification. New research and analysis allows for a more complete story to be told about who may have made these chests and why they look as they do. Thistles and Crowns examines the way these chests were made, the meaning behind their sophisticated decoration, their functions in eighteenth-century Connecticut homes, and their modern legacy.

Simply joined of North American woods like oak, pine, and tulip poplar these chests, in a variety of forms— small boxes, large chests, chest with drawers, high chests, and chests of drawers — were constructed to serve a useful functions for both storage and security in the homes of their owners. “Colonial chests hold wildly romantic associations today as wedding, dowry, or bridal chests,” says Florence Griswold Museum Assistant Curator Benjamin Colman, “but in reality they were made for practically minded New Englanders. Homes were not as private in the eighteenth century as they are today, so a locking chest was important to keep valuables safe from prying eyes and sticky fingers.”

The six chests in the exhibit come from major national museums and local historical societies. One example on loan from the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum in Delaware and another from the Old Saybrook Historical Society in Connecticut both exemplify the decorative vocabulary of the chests. Embellished with rich compositions of foliage, birds, vines and flowers brightly outlines against a dark background, they show Connecticut craftsmen adapting a fashionably Baroque sensibility for expressive ornament and decorative surfaces with their familiar tools. Incorporated into these decorative motifs are signs and symbols like Scottish thistles, British crowns, Tudor roses, and French fleurs-de-lis, all carrying specific connotations for contentious political issues when these chests were created.

Useful in their form and beautiful in their ornament these chests tell a complicated story about the way that colonists in eighteenth-century Connecticut used humble objects to express their place in the larger world.

The accompanying catalogue, Thistles and Crowns: The Painted Chests of the Connecticut Shore, written by Assistant Curator Benjamin Colman, provides permanent scholarly contribution to the field and encourages further study of this overlooked tradition in Connecticut’s material culture. The book outlines a larger group of chests beyond those included in the exhibition. The 72-page softbound catalogue with 74 full-color illustrations can be purchased in The Shop at the Florence Griswold Museum or online here. The price is $24.95.

Eurail is the commercial name given to rail passes provided by Eurorail Group G.I.E., a company based in Netherlands, that sells passes for european rails (high speed and regular services). Eurail passes are not available for European residents.

InterRail passes are almost the same as Eurail Passes but available solely for European residents. The passes are available to those who have been legal residents for at least six months in any country of the European Union (excluding military personnel living on any base). This pass is not valid in the pass holder’s own country of residence, but travel to one’s own border is often available at a discount.

Europass train

Europass is the former commercial name of Eurail Pass. While some people still call them “Europass” or “Eurorail Pass”, the company uses Eurail and InterRail.

Eurail Countries

The list of countries covered with this rail passes is 23, so buying their most complete pass (called Global Pass) you can travel almost all Europe by rail. You can check the list of countries and download the Eurail Map here.

Buying this rail passes you’ll save time and money.

Where to buy Eurail Pass?

Once you buy a Rail Pass (Eurail Pass or others), you’ll still need to make a reservation to make sure you’ll have a seat on the train! Rail Europe is the only provider that allows you to buy both point-to-point tickets and rail passes including Eurail Pass and make reservations on specific trains. Buy your Rail Pass and book your reservations at the same place. Don’t miss a train!

How We Use Consumer Reports Best Cars

Choosing the best car is not simple. Basically, a car needs to meet several requirements to be considered the best. Several ultra-expensive cars are specially designed to be the best. But of course, for common people like us, the ultra-expensive price makes it not the best one. On the other side, deciding a car is on the right price makes tricky effort too. We do not know the entire specification of the car. We cannot judge them objectively. Here is when we can use some help. Here is when we

I am uncertain of color choices. Can I get a tour at the factory to see some options? Who do I call?

12-11-2006, 04:25 PM
Hey Ed,

Honestly I was not upset, nor did I yell at all. You must have your back up while reading this thread or something. I was tryin to help out man. I've built php sites before. They are a bitch to support as there is a billion patches you can load...and I came to the conclusion that building a closed non-public source code was better because of the spam issue and for fiull control. This site and the response is fantastic, but my point was completely valid.

At least Iike the fact that people help, but when you see 18 VIEWS for spam, I get made at the spammers.

12-12-2006, 10:30 AM
What kind of colors are you leaning towards? (reds, blues, black, etc... I really like the new graphics on the latest models. I am sure that you will get plenty of input on the color of your boat!! Kep us posted on your choices.

12-12-2006, 08:44 PM
I have no idea. Yellow, Reds, Oranges, Blues?? No idea!

12-13-2006, 11:15 AM
Personally i like the navy and white with the new graphic on the front of the boat. Good luck.

12-13-2006, 11:59 AM
The flame graphic does not go all the way across the front of the boat. I do not know if I liked that. Have you seen the picture of the flame from the front????

12-14-2006, 04:14 PM
Yes! OK - Who is this?

12-14-2006, 04:53 PM
Thats an awesome lake! I spent many a summer there when younger at sports camp!

12-14-2006, 05:53 PM
Hey....I love that lake. Can't wait to put my Mobius on it.

12-18-2006, 08:49 PM
Just my .02

Having just looked at all the color schemes and whatnot myself, I am partial to the Brittany Blue. Royal blue is my favorite color, and my wife's too, so color was easy for us!! Was not too keen on the flames on the front. Just did not really like the way they looked. Anyway, that's my opinion. Your taste may be different. Good luck! I am sure you will enjoy whichever color you decide to go with!

12-18-2006, 09:06 PM
When I was picking the color of my boat I wanted sunset orange. Everybody looked at me weird. The dealership I bought the boat from even asked me if I was sure about the color. I went with the sunset orange and the platinum accent. As soon as the boat came the dealer ordered the same color scheme. Sunset orange is an awesome color and it's not everday you see an orange boat on the lake.

Just got a 3G S, but keep getting unwanted text msgs

    Ok, I just signed up for a new AT&T account with the basic 450 plan and no texting (I hate texting).

    That being said, this is my brand new account, never had AT&T before and I've already got two spam texts telling me about some stupid Jonas brothers concert from some phone number I've never heard of before.

    1) How do I disable texts completely
    2) Am I being charged per text for this crap I'm being sent?
  2. bobsentell macrumors 6502a

    Nov 14, 2008
    You are being charged for the texts you are being sent. What you need to do is call AT&T tomorrow and tell them you got these couple of unwanted texts and that you want them removed from your bill. Also tell them you want texting blocked all together.

    Yes, you are beeing charged for receiving texts.
    I know it doesnt make any sense, we're one of the very few countrys that we get charged for receiving someones text and answering someones phone call on our cell.
    The sender gets charged and receiver does also, double billing like that is foolish.
    You'd have to call AT&T and tell them to completelly block texts on your account so you cant receive or send and will never get charged.

    This happened to my wife a few times right after she got her original 2G. Then it kind of went away. Then she started getting numerous phone calls for some girl named Cheryl, from everyone from guys she met at the bar, to doctor's offices, to collection agencies. Ugh. The texts will probably stop soon. It never happened to me, and we got ours on the same day.

Yeah i love FastStone, it's my main sorting tool since I can easily copy files into folders while viewing them. But at least for Olympus it doesn't actually read the raw file, just an embedded JPEG that is half the size. Plus what I like to be able to do is change settings, I can shoot at one standard setting and then tweak things after the fact when I need less contrast or whatnot.

Israel Activist Detained At Airport In Act Of ‘Political Persecution’

A senior official at the New Israel Fund was detained at Israel’s airport on Wednesday, in an incident that an Israeli opposition lawmaker slammed as “political persecution.”

Jennifer Gorovitz, the vice president of the New Israel Fund, a U.S.-based not-for-profit that supports Jewish and Arab civil society groups in Israel, traveled to Israel via Ben Gurion airport in order to participate in the organization’s board meeting.

According to a report in Haaretz, Gorovitz was detained for about 90 minutes, during which she was questioned three different times about the New Israel Fund’s activities.

Gorovitz said that one of the people questioning her was holding a large document about her, which included the word “BDS,” shorthand for the movement to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. Gorovitz told the questioner that NIF opposes BDS.

Israeli parliament member Tamar Zandberg, of the left wing Meretz party, asked Interior Minister Aryeh Dery to look into the legality of the incident.

“This is political persecution, harassment and an attempt to silence those who fight for Israeli society,” she wrote in a letter to Dery. She called what happened to Gorovitz “harassment and political labeling.”

Street to Ballot Box: Stav Shaffir, one of the leaders of last year?s social justice protests, is running for a seat in Israel?s Knesset.

Fresh Israeli Face Pushes Economic Message

When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called early elections, he cast the Iranian nuclear threat as the primary issue facing Israel—and analysts predicted the vote would turn on voters’ fears of war.

But if Netanyahu’s would-be opponents have anything to say about it, the January 22 election could be more about the price of cottage cheese and Tel Aviv apartments than anything the mullahs in Tehran are up to.

At least one leader of last summer’s social protest movement has already thrown her hat in the political ring. And leaders of opposition parties are vowing to tap the spirit of the movement that attracted massive crowds with a message of economic justice and social inclusion.

“For many years Israelis have focused on security issues over social issues, but during (the) protests, people realized it is a distorted division and that national security and social security go together,” said Stav Shaffir, one of the protest leaders who announced plans to run for a Knesset seat on the Labor Party ticket.

Shaffir openly plans to run on a program based on the protesters’ agenda, and predicted Netanyahu and other leaders will have to respond.

“Following a year when the social protest changed the discourse on social issues in Israel completely… people are much more aware of what the budget means, of every step that the government takes against the interest of our society,” Shaffir told the Forward. “Today, politicians and the government are a little afraid and they don’t want the public to turn against them.”

It is not just protest leaders who plan to put social-economic issues on the election agenda. Shelly Yachimovich became Labor leader during the tail end of the protests, stressing her commitment to the issues they raised during her successful battle to lead the party. She has boosted the fortunes of the party which is now polling at around 20 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, compared to the all-time-low 13 it won at the last election.

Pollster and political scientist Tamar Hermann believes that all parties will scramble to prove that they are concerned with social-economic issues and have a track record on them. “I believe all parties will have to address them directly and in a straightforward way — no party can avoid them as they are in the air,” she said.

Besides Labor, the other party poised to put social-economic issues at the center of its platform is the new Yesh Atid party, led by Yair Lapid, a former newspaper columnist, author, screenwriter and actor. Lapid, whose party is expected to win about 15 seats, tapped into the frustration that the middle class expressed during the 2011 protests, and propelled himself into politics on the promise that he will be a remedy. His party is expected to call for fixes that are more moderate than those called for during demonstrations, and give much attention to other matters such as demanding the draft of ultra-Orthodox into the Israeli national service.

Lapid is not calling for a major bolstering of the welfare state, but rather improvement in the management of the public sphere. Analysts say his call may resonate with the middle class.

“The feeling that there’s something wrong with the state of the middle class is widespread, (but) when it comes down to translating those feelings in to the political arena many people will say it’s very important but there are other issues,” said Shlomo Swirski, academic director of the Adva Center policy institute. “So many people who marched through the streets of Tel Aviv will probably vote for Yair Lapid whose social policy is far away from Shelly Yachimovich.”

A third serious party with social-economic issues central to its agenda may still emerge. Kadima, which took a black eye over its shortlived coalition with Netanyahu, is currently on the political fringes, polling only in the region of six seats.

But if Kadima manages to recruit a popular figure like former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, it could revive and strengthen the call for change. Hebrew University academic Manuel Trajtenberg, who wrote the official government report on the protest movement, is also rumored to be considering joining Kadima, which would make the party a very strong player on social-economic issues.

Even Netanyahu may realize he has to emphasize the economy over his preferred territory of national security. In his speech to the Knesset announcing the early elections, he tried to cast himself as the cure rather than the illness.

The Prime Minister boasted that he pulled the Israeli economy out of recession during his four years in office and put it back on a path to growth during a global economic crisis.

The global economic crisis, he said, “threatened to bring down the economy of Israel.” But his “responsible policy” brought “a change in the trend,” leading to Israel’s steady economic growth.

Despite the fact that large parts of the Trajtenberg Report of recommendations, which he commissioned in response to the protests, have not been implemented, Netanyahu is expected to remind voters repeatedly about the popular changes that he has made. At the top of his list are likely to be extending free kindergarten to Israelis from the age of 3 and providing tax credits to working parents.

According to Hermann, who is professor at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, the national keenness on social-economic issues won’t necessarily work against Netanyahu. “He can say that his government got the message, and put forward a list of policies and future plans dealing with hardships,” she said.

Even though some hope to focus the election campaign on social-economic issues, a flare-up with Iran or battles with the Palestinians could return the discourse to the more familiar territory of security. Many speculate that any such January surprise will only strengthen Netanyahu’s hand as the vote nears.

“The government will be very ready to seize on any opportunity to increase the flames and direct the attention from the social and economic issues,” said Ono Academic College researcher Amir Paz-Fuchs, an expert on Israel’s social protest campaign.

Relationship Tips for being happy

Over-used internet picture for relationship articles

Over-used internet picture for relationship articles

It seems everywhere you look online, someone has something to say about how to succeed in sexual relationships. As someone who revels in dialectics, I do revel in the plethora of information. The more voices and opinions, afterall, the better to make a synthesis, and some truth to absorb into oneself. Who doesn’t want to have a lasting/successful/fulfilling sexual relationship with another?

Alas, as I sat pondering all these things after a long bout of internet browse purging til 4 in the morning a thought came to me. Why not write my own? Afterall, I’ve been through a couple marriages and relationships in my short lifetime and make myself a studious scholar of all things that interest me. Surely I have something constructive to say about the whole fiasco of dating and such.

So here it goes:

  1. Be Yourself.

Here is where most articles write a little explanation of the point given. Even though I’m sure I’m not alone in being one who just skims through and reads the bold. But, if you’re reading this, allow me to translate the above advice: Do you, don’t be not-you, keep it real, act natural, et cetera.
Unless you’re a rapist or a nazi. Then don’t be those things.

Also if you get the opportunity to be Peter Pan, do that. Cause if a fairy flies in your window and says your Peter Pan and you must return to Neverland because they need you, I don’t care who the fuck you are, you chose to be mother fucking Peter Pan. Cause fuck being an adult.

The End

Yep. No seriously, that’s my relationship advice. Pretty sure that’s all you need to be happy in life.

Penny for your Thoughts?

Why do we live in houses?

I threw this question out there a few weeks ago while sitting in deep thought. I had spent the last car ride staring out the window, contemplating the wooden boxes along the side of the road.

Naturally, I know the answer. Shelter from the elements, mainly. A place to store our things, and congregate the people we want to be around. Yet my mind still wanders and asks “Why?” (as a good philosopher, I suppose, amirite?)

“This is mine” is all I can hear. Is it really? What is it with our species and possession?

“This is my girlfriend” one will say, as a way to say she is yours and no one else’s. Really? My children, my car, my money….

I think fleetingly back to my college days. Why do we all look so fondly back on those wild times? Could it be because most of our time was spent without a consideration for ownership? Some lived in dorms, I spent much of it sleeping from house to house. Trekking up a long hill with my back-back to school, taking buses and trains. Sure, we look back on some of it as “immature,” and ashamedly admit to feeding off of our parents finances.

But a part of me still sees that wandering nomadic life and finds something to admonish and extract a deeper life truth.

Even if I can’t elaborate on it and attach to it words, it is there.

Penny for your Thoughts? Can you make sense of any of those thoughts?

Future food shortage crisis

It really is real. It’s one of those problems those of us who live in third world countries find it easy to ignore. We also find it very easy and convenient to keep having babies. We’re like the domestic cat, populating like bunnies, unwanted children dying in streets or in “shelters”, and spreading disease.

Start sterilizing.

I’m serious. The people who say “but it’s our natural right to have babies” are the first to go. Get that ignorant shit out of the human genome and fast.

Making more food isn’t the answer. We are destroying ecosystems and the stability of thousands of species too quickly, giving them no time to adapt and survive.

Why is snipping people in the testes/Fallopian tubes not being talked about?

Someone with more ethics than me: Penny for your Thought?

Emotions and the Bible

I’ve been thinking about emotions lately. Why people I’ve been discussing with are admonishing more actions to obtain emotions, mainly “happiness” and “fun.” This, I compare and contrast with the logical self, the “Spock” who feels no emotions, or at least only acts upon what is logical.

Naturally, the extremes of the two are not considered desirable. Yet, I believe that Christianity has taught the latter extreme.

Consider the sermon on the mount: anger and hate is subject to judgement, as is lust. Don’t hate your enemy, and looking at another woman apparently is adultery in itself. Article after article with a simple search (or sitting in a conservative service) spreads demonizing the “harlot,” and the type of women who entice men.

Suggestive, seductive clothing is one of the traps she uses to lure the young man. I look around at some gatherings of believers and wonder, “Don’t these women realize what they are communicating to men by the way they dress?” An outwardly modest appearance reflects a modest and wise heart. Immodest dress suggests a foolish, immoral heart.

You know, cause a woman wanting sex is bad. But a man “courting” a woman and “wooing” her is a noble thing.

This seems very damaging to me. The extensive nature of Christian upbringing in America says to me that many of us have been indoctrinated in these models of thought and the tendrils may run deeper than we realize.

I could write more, but it would be excessive.

What are your thoughts, on any of it?

I just want to know that I am not alone. Bendy Hair Follicles?

Fess up.  Who has them?  Who even knows what I’m talking about?

Bendy Hair Follicles or BHF as I call them around here.  When your stupid hair grows out one way, and then gets forced into another direction and then it hurts like a mofo.  Yeah, you know what I’m talking about!  Don’t you?

I want to know that BHF is a real thing, and it is not just me.  My husband gives me a look like he thinks I am bat shit crazy whenever I mention it.  But he just doesn’t KNOW.  He has no hair.

I’ll tell you a little secret about hair. Hair is stubborn and hair doesn’t like being told what to do or where to go.

These are the people that are likely to be inflicted by this nasty reality:

  1. Curly haired bitches.  I think these girls have it the worst.  Their crap curly hair grows out of their head in all different directions and they generally have very strong evil follicles that resist hairbrushes best efforts to put them back into place.  What happens is this – unless the bitch in question lets her wild tresses go nuts, she has to put it up in some fashion.  There is a 100% chance that whatever hairstyle is chosen, there will be follicles bent the wrong way.  If the poor bitch has kids, especially babies who like to grab hair, wild and woolly hair is just not an option, therefore, she MUST tie it back and subsequently subject herself to the pain of the bendy follicle.
  2. Ballerinas.  These girls wear their hair in buns – right up on top of their heads.  Really tight buns – smothered in hairspray so the hair has no chance of escaping the anti-gravity hold.  This is all well and good while dancing on stage.  The girl looks as cute as a button, but she has no idea what is about to happen.  After her performance and the audience has all gone home, she has to take her hair out.  There is no avoiding it.  Once the 1000 bobby pins come out, her follicles are going to scream as they are allowed to fall back to their natural position.  Agony.
  3. Hippies.  Sometimes, you can get BHF is other places too.  Like your legs if your all hippie like or just don’t shave much.  This usually happens when you wear leggings or stockings.  Pregnant women wear leggings a lot and they also don’t get to shave much because they just can’t.  When you pull your leggings on, your spindly leg hairs are pulled upwards and trapped there.  That is of course until you take your leggings off later.  And then BAM – Bendy Leg Hair Follicles.
  4. Ferals.  Bendy Hair Follicles get worse as your hair gets dirtier.  If for some reason you don’t get to wash your hair very much, like you are homeless or have babies, there is a good chance that your follicles are getting bendier and bendier.  Especially as you keep on pulling your hair back everyday to avoid little hands getting up into your knots and pulling on them.  Also, as your hair gets more gross, you tend to resort to the old bun or shove it under a hat to hide the fact that you haven’t brushed your hair or showered in a month.  Not good options for the BHF sufferer. It’s just a vicious circle.  Sadly, the only way to cure BHF is to wash your hair.  Easier said than done.

I am horrified to say that I fall under all of these categories (well, except ballerina.  I haven’t done ballet for a long time, but I REMEMBER!).  And my hair gets curlier and bendier after each baby!  Forgot to mention – going to bed with wet hair is also a big no-no for the person with BHF as your head on a pillow is bound to push your wet follicles into unnatural positions and dry there.  Problem is, I generally shower at night after babies are asleep, but I don’t want to wash my hair then or it would be worse in the morning!  (not to mention that curly haired bitches SHOULD NEVER go to bed with wet hair or they wake with the afro from hell)  Sometimes my head hurts so bad that I pounce on D as soon as he gets out of bed in the morning and beg him to take the babies so I can wash my goddammotherfuckingbendyhairfollicles before I chop my head off, stomp on it and throw it in a fire.

I looked and looked for a curly haired bitch photo of myself but there just aren't any because I ALAWYS pull it back - thus making my BHF worse!

I looked and looked for a curly haired bitch photo of myself but there just aren’t any because I ALWAYS pull it back – thus making my BHF worse!

Is this normal?

Do YOU have BHF?

  1. Oh my god! I AM NOT ALONE! I have tried to explain this more than once but always seem to end up getting pitying looks and smirks. Thank you for telling the non believers that this really does exist!

  2. Are you talking about cowlicks? If so, then I have a few of those too and with dead straight hair, I think it’s harder to hide!! I have all sorts of weird bumps of hair when pulling them back into a ponytail..

    • I guess they would sort of be cowlicks. Just where each curl grows the hair comes out in a different direction. Whatever you want to call them, cowlicks or bendy hair follicles, they are EVIL.

  3. Hahaha. I know where the curly hair came from.
    Sorry. 😉 Had to have a dig.
    BHF is the absolute worst, You’ve had your hair up all day, cause it looks better that way, and then at the end of the day you let it down,,,,,,, and THAT is when every single hair follicle, SCREEEEMS when it. attempts, to bend BACK to where it is supposed to be. Ouch!! ;(

autopoesis / consciousness / fractal catalysis / ontology

Christopher Davia has published an absolutely wild e-book which expands on the systems-cybernetic model of Maturana and Varela. The paper covers autopoesis, fractal catalysis and the ontology of consciousness, and has been made available through Carnegie-Mellon’s psychology department.

What Kind Of Automobile Insurance Do You Really Require?

Motor vehicles are quite recent creations as far as technical innovations go. Even though innovators were experimenting with motors and such for many years, the first passenger automobiles only really began appearing in the later part of the 1800s. In those days, though, a car was more of a nice idea than anything else and only a few folks in reality had one.

It was actually only later on when automobiles became a primary mode of transport on the streets that the true cost of possessing and looking after a private automobile started to strike home. The buying cost, that in a country like South Africa is quite exorbitant, is only the start of the fiscal outlay that the owner of a new car will encounter. Automotive insurance is a second. Then there’s the cost of petrol and we all know how costly that is nowadays. For more information on car insurance

price quote, go to

Considering the costs associated with possessing a car, as well as the all round cost of living these days, it’s hardly astonishing then that some folks might try to scrimp a little by not covering their cars. What is more, in South Africa folks are not forced by law to posses vehicle coverage for their motor vehicles rendering it even easier to forget to purchase insurance. All in all, car insurance cover has a tendecy to be what is known as a ‘grudge buy’.

Grudge buys are items that you know you should buy but really do not want to. To view it another way, grudge purchases are the ones that do not possess any immediate tangible advantage to the buyer. Then again, one of the purposes of acquiring insurance protection is to have peace of mind and this tends to kick in as soon as you get cover. Consequently even though you might not have to submit a compensation claim to the motor vehicle insurance company for quite a number of years you can still benefit by owning it. Having said that, you will probably want to pay as little as you can for cover by way of a low car insurance quotation.

Naturally, the quotation itself should always be free of charge and it is quite easy to obtain one these days using the internet. There are a number of online vendors currently in existence that you can get free car insurance quotes from with little or no trouble. One of the primary advantages of taking this path is that you are more likely to get all the quotes you require by making a single telephone call to the online insurance vendor.

Then there’s what is referred to as “pay as you drive” automobile protection. This specific type of insurance is really great to have if you do not drive a lot because the premium rate is linked to your mileage. Basically, how this works that you will only need to pay for the kms you drive in a thirty day period therefore it may well suit a person like a pensioner or someone who is working from home and doesn’t have a daily commute.

As you can see from the above mentioned, automobile cover truly is essential. In saying that, though, it is not necessary to pay an excessive sum to get it.

Commercial Vehicle Insurance Is Readily Available

It is simple to comprehend that there must be commercial vehicle insurance to guard such asset against robbery, accident damage and other destruction. Unlike our vehicles, these vehicles also transport cargo, which might or not belong to us at the time of transfer. Also that is an investment requiring financial protection against robbery or damage. Commercial vehicle insurance is for that reason more involved than ordinary car insurance.

Because the nature of businesses and their functional methods and requirements are different, it is crucial that commercial vehicle insurance offers them versatility in insurance policy options to best cover the requirements. Some corporations may have a single delivery vehicle, others might have a fleet of vehicles, while yet others may have a number of vehicles of varying kinds, like trucks and earth moving equipment spread over a Province or even nationally. Plainly there would be different needs and objectives of a commercial vehicle insurance policy in each case. For more information on car insurance for women, go to

Long run transporters, dependant upon the cargo carried and the vested ownership of the shipment would all have different needs of any insurance. These cars or trucks need be on the highway as much as possible under different operating conditions to town based cars and often is not garaged or kept in a location of safety, meaning vehicle and cargo is unprotected at night while the driver may be slumbering along the road. Transport vehicles usually are not allowed to overnight in cities, making them stopping along the route to overnight more dangerous. Other long haulers carry harmful liquids or gas, and some transport new motor cars. All of these different operational requirements call for insurance coverages to be adjustable to objective, cargo and damage.

Commercial vehicle insurance is readily accessible through most if not all of the vehicle insurance firms, so the risks and differing demands of different organizations are well understood by the providers. Comparable to the case of vehicle insurance, it is also simple to obtain various quotes in order to be able to compare benefits and charges on offer by more than one insurance provider. With commercial transport and buses costing upwards of R1M and considering the fashion and circumstances in which they work it is expected that premiums can’t be low priced, but without adequate commercial vehicle insurance the financial risk would be untenable. Fleet owners and haulers of poisonous materials will obviously need to negotiate unique contracts to cater for their particular instances as would owners of a fleet of earth moving devices that may be carried around the country on contract work. It might even be necessary to negotiate commercial vehicle insurance per contract due to differing situations.

Whatever your personal needs are in insuring your commercial vehicles needs to be incorporated and covered in the commercial vehicle insurance policies that you work out. Even issues like third party injuries and other circumstances possibly concerning the public would be crucial. If you ever haul any dangerous or erosive materials of whatever nature also make quite certain you are taken care of for any damages or injury claims on you.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Car Insurance

If you live within a country like South Africa then it is crucial that you have a vehicle of your own. You can’t depend on the public transport system to get you to and from work on a regular basis. It is simply not run properly and isn’t capable of achieving even this straightforward task. Which means that many people own cars and lots of people need to have car insurance of some type. There are pros and cons to having auto insurance though.

It is a fact of life that individuals who drive on Southern African streets are not the most careful or respectful motorists. There are accidents each and every day which claim lives and vehicles. If you have car insurance, even the least expensive car insurance, you’ll have some kind of financial assistance when it comes to paying for the repairs to your automobile. This takes a lot of pressure off you and can perhaps permit you to really feel less stress whilst driving around your everyday business. For more information on best car insurance, go to

It’s also entirely possible that you’re going to get involved in an accident with someone who doesn’t have any kind of auto insurance. They would be unable to pay for the maintenance to your vehicle which means you are stuck trying to find a way to pay for the damage. At least if you have car insurance then you’ve got the opportunity to cover those expenses this way.

The problem with car insurance, even cheap car insurance, is that it costs money. Cash is not something which very car owner needs to spare. There are things that individuals would rather spend that couple of 100 per month on that seem to be much more essential. There is also the time that it requires to set up a car insurance plan and to find car insurance quotes. Individuals would rather work a few additional hrs and earn a little more money than search around for auto insurance. This is probably the only real problem with having auto insurance though.

If you truly take moment to think about it very carefully you will probably come to the conclusion that it is most likely better to make sure that you have at least some car insurance. You don’t want to get into an auto accident and have to pay for the actual damages to your car on your own. This kind of thing can get truly costly really quickly. All that you need to sacrifice is a little time and effort and a little cash each month for the peace of mind that comes with having auto insurance.

It’s possible to save yourself lots of heartache and financial woe simply by taking a couple of hours one week to get auto insurance. You’ll have to make a decision as to how much auto insurance you get, but that’s a story for another time and is based on what you can afford. Any kind of car insurance is better than none in most cases.

How Bad Is Hillary?… She Just Read “Sigh” From Her TelePrompter (VIDEO)

If you thought Barack Obama was bad without a teleprompter – Hillary is bad WITH one.

If you thought Barack Obama was bad without a teleprompter – Hillary is bad WITH one.

While Obama turns into a bumbling version of herself, Hillary manages to become an even more robotic version of herself, if you can imagine that. Just the other day, she literally read the word “sigh” from her teleprompter, when it was instructing her to utter a sigh.

Western Journalism reports:

On Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke at a campaign rally in North Carolina. Much of that time was spent attacking the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Clinton also addressed the basic liberal polices she plans to implement if she becomes president.

Clinton addressed the crowd with a rebuttal for Trump, who earlier in the day focused on her various ethical and character issues in an attention-grabbing speech that many conservative pundits, including a few who haven’t supported Trump, said was one of his best.

“Think about it,” Clinton said. “He’s going after me personally because he has no answers on the substance. All he can do is he’s trying to distract us. That’s even why he’s attacking my faith.”

She then paused for a moment and said, “Sigh.” It appeared the word “sigh” was a teleprompter signal to make the sound after she had finished her sentence. Instead, Clinton read it out loud.

You have to see it to believe it:

Remember when liberals were criticizing Romney for being robotic? Apparently Democrats didn’t learn from our mistakes.

BREAKING! Trump Just Revealed Shocking Method NYC Terrorists Got Into The USA

This has to end, now!

Just a couple months after a radical Muslim terrorist ran down pedestrians on a New York City street on Halloween, another deranged Muslim named Akayed Ullah attempted to steal more innocent lives in the bustling city. Thankfully, Ullah was not skilled in his terrorist ways, and his homemade pipe bomb that he strapped to his body malfunctioned only injured the would-be suicide bomber.

Now, literally after the smoke has cleared from the failed terrorist attack people are wondering how in the hell this guy entered the United States, and now we may have some answers thanks to President Trump.

There is a reason that President Trump wanted a stricter vetting process for people coming to America from countries with ties to terrorism, and voila, here it is. The 27-year-old Bangladeshi man identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah was allowed into the country thanks to a little thing called chain immigration.

Akayed Ullah after his failed bombing attempt lying on the ground awaiting medical help.

You see how this is works is one family member is approved and receives a green card which then the approved family member is allowed to bring their family members with them. The issue with that is that these family members are not properly vetted and then allowed to enter the country without knowing anything about them. So, common sense dictates that these people should be vetted which is precisely what President Trump would like to do, and this could be just the push that is needed to ensure that the vetting process is followed from here on out.

Akayed Ullah was living in Brooklyn after being allowed in the United States through a process called chain immigration.

Here is more from Daily Mail:

President Donald Trump said Monday a bomb blast in Manhattan highlights the need for an immigration overhaul – as the man arrested was revealed to be part of a large Bangladeshi family sponsored by his aunt or uncle.

Trump said that the U.S. ‘must fix its lax immigration system, which allows far too many dangerous, inadequately vetted people’ into the country.

The Republican president pointed to his controversial travel ban as an example of the kind of policy that needs to be put in place.

And he called on Congress to end ‘chain migration,’ in which family members are permitted to join relatives who have immigrated.

A Bangladeshi man identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah was taken into custody with serious injuries after a pipe bomb he was carrying malfunctioned and exploded prematurely inside a Midtown Manhattan subway station.

He had come from Bangladesh in 2011, apparently with his parents and three or four siblings – all of them sponsored by his aunt or uncle, his immigration status showed.

Ullah is a Bangladeshi national who has been living in the U.S. for the past seven years. Fox News reports that the former taxi driver came to the U.S. on a F-4 visa, a preferential visa for those who have family already in the U.S. The Post says he is a legal green-card holder.

His immigration designation is F-43, which means he claimed the right to a green card because he is the child of the brother or sister of a U.S. citizen.

The U.S. citizen can be newly naturalized. Trump’s statement suggests that Ullah claimed a green card by virtue of a citizen who was also an immigrant.

Records show that Ullah moved to the U.S. from Chittagong, Bangladesh in February 2011 on the F4 visa, and is now a legal green-card owner.

He reportedly immigrated with his parents and three to four siblings. Trump’s statement suggests that one of his parents’ siblings had gained citizenship then petitioned for multiple family members.

Ullah had recently visited his home country on September 8.

Investigators have yet to determine an official motivation for the failed attack, but there have been reports that Ullah was inspired by ISIS.

It was the second time in two months that New York City was the target of a terrorist attack and the first since President Trump sparked Muslim outrage around the world last week by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Now, of course, President Trump will do whatever is in his power to make sure that vetting processes are followed, but when you have liberals like Mayor Bill de Blasio usurping his authority it makes the situation rather difficult.

These liberal morons would rather allow radicalized Muslims to enter the country to create chaos in the name of political correctness instead of protecting the American citizens. That is why it is so important that in the upcoming midterm elections the American vote in people that will support President Trump and his agenda to make America great again before these liberal goons try to ruin it forever.

BREAKING News From The CIA – President Trump Is In Serious Danger

This is bad. Trump needs our prayers right now!

A CIA ex-spy chief who has spoken out publicly against Trump, while at the same time inspiring other career intelligence hacks to do the same, has now actually admitted his leading role within the American intelligence community to wage political war against our president.

During a candid interview, the CIA’s Michael Morell who was Deputy Director and former Acting Director of the world’s most powerful intelligence agency said that it wasn’t a great idea to leak against and bash a new president. You think?

Morell was Former President George W. Bush’s personal daily briefer for the agency before and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And he later went on to serve under Barack Hussein Obama until his recent retirement from the agency. But during the Summer of 2016, he took the step intelligence officers usually avoid. He openly endorsed Crooked Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in a Carlos Slim owned New York Times op-ed piece. The endorsement read as follows, “I Ran the C.I.A. Now I’m Endorsing Hillary Clinton.”

After endorsing Killary he continued to be both an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, and an early CIA voice promoting the Russian collusion and election meddling fake narrative conjured up by the Clinton Machine to justify her loss. This is the official confirmation we have been waiting for that the Deep State is indeed at war with President Donald Trump and will stop at nothing to beat him.

Ex-Spy Chief Admits Role In ‘Deep State’ Intelligence War On Trump

An ex-spy chief who spoke out publicly against Trump while inspiring other career intelligence figures to follow suit has admitted his leading role in the intelligence community waging political war against the president, describing his actions as something he didn’t “fully think through”. In a surprisingly frank interview, the CIA’s Michael Morell – who was longtime Deputy Director and former Acting Director of the nation’s most powerful intelligence agency – said that it wasn’t a great idea to leak against and bash a new president.

Morell had the dubious distinction of being George W. Bush’s personal daily briefer for the agency before and after 9/11, and also served under Obama until his retirement. In the summer of 2016 he took the unusual step (for a former intelligence chief) of openly endorsing Hillary Clinton in a New York Times op-ed entitled, I Ran the C.I.A. Now I’m Endorsing Hillary Clinton, after which he continued to be both an outspoken critic of Trump and an early CIA voice promoting the Russian collusion and election meddling narrative.

As Politico’s Susan Glasser put in a newly published interview, Morell “has emerged out of the shadows of the deep state” to become one of Trump’s foremost critics speaking within the intel community. However, Politico summarizes the interview as follows:

But in a revealingly self-critical and at times surprising interview for this week’s Global POLITICO, Morell acknowledges that he and other spy-world critics of the president failed to fully “think through” the negative backlash generated by their going political. “There was a significant downside,” Morell said in the interview.

Not only had Morell during his previous NYT op-ed stated that he was committed to doing “everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president” but he went so far as to call then candidate Trump “a threat to our national security” – while making the extraordinary claim that “in the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”

Curiously, Morell in his latest Politico interview indicates when asked about his “public profile” and activism so soon after leaving the agency (something that was relatively unusual prior to Trump taking office) that his post-retirement media appearances have been approved and/or received some level of oversight by the CIA. In the interview Morell states, “I did a 60 Minutes interview about my life inside CIA, and it’s something the agency thought that was a good thing to do, and I taped most of it before I left the agency.”

While such CIA review of former employees’ publications and media interaction is nothing new, in Morell’s case was an unprecedented example of a very high profile intelligence figure explicitly campaigning for a presidential candidate and against another while specifically invoking his role at the CIA (he began his NYT column with, “During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties — three Republicans and three Democrats…” followed by a litany of key national security events he was central to).

The other important confirmation to come out of the discussion is the clear guiding assumption of the interview – that the intelligence “deep state” did in fact go to war with Trump – which has now been confirmed by Morell himself, which is essentially to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Glasser: Okay, so, flash-forward a year. Was that a mistake?

Morell: So, I don’t think it was a mistake. I think there were downsides to it that I didn’t think about at the time. I was concerned about what is the impact it would have on the agency, right? Very concerned about that, thought that through. But I don’t think I fully thought through the implications.

And one of the ways I’ve thought about that, Susan, is—okay, how did Donald Trump see this? Right? And from—it’s very important—one of the things we do as intelligence analysts is make sure that our guy—the president—understands the other guy. Right?

So, let’s put ourselves here in Donald Trump’s shoes. So, what does he see? Right? He sees a former director of CIA and a former director of NSA, Mike Hayden, who I have the greatest respect for, criticizing him and his policies. Right? And he could rightfully have said, “Huh, what’s going on with these intelligence guys?” Right?

Morell here seems to confirm Trump’s narrative of events concerning Russiagate “fake news” and willful intelligence leaks intended to damage the president, despite his opening obfuscation of “I don’t think it was a mistake” (so he’s essentially admitting the negative consequences but with no regrets).

Surprisingly, Morell even implicates himself with the words, “And then he sees a former acting director and deputy director of CIA criticizing him and endorsing his opponent.” The interview continues:

Glasser: It embroiders his narrative.

Morell: Exactly. And then he sees a former acting director and deputy director of CIA criticizing him and endorsing his opponent. And then he gets his first intelligence briefing, after becoming the Republican nominee, and within 24 to 48 hours, there are leaks out of that that are critical of him and his then-national security advisor, Mike Flynn.

And so, this stuff starts to build, right? And he must have said to himself, “What is it with these intelligence guys? Are they political?” The current director at the time, John Brennan, during the campaign occasionally would push back on things that Donald Trump had said.

So, when Trump talked about the Iran nuclear deal being the worst deal in the history of American diplomacy, and he was going to tear it up on the first day—John Brennan came out publicly and said, “That would be an act of folly.” So, he sees current sitting director pushing back on him. Right?

Then he becomes president, and he’s supposed to be getting a daily brief from the moment he becomes the president-elect. Right? And he doesn’t. And within a few days, there’s leaks about how he’s not taking his briefing. So, he must have thought—right?—that, “Who are these guys? Are these guys out to get me? Is this a political organization? Can I think about them as a political organization when I become president?”

So, I think there was a significant downside to those of us who became political in that moment. So, if I could have thought of that, would I have ended up in a different place? I don’t know. But it’s something I didn’t think about.

Despite Morell’s attempts to mitigate his own significant contributions toward creating a climate of distrust between the White House and the intelligence bureaucracy, it seems clear to the interviewee that Morell’s admissions lend credence to Trump’s side.

Indeed, Susan Glasser reasons, based on Morell’s unexpected confessions, that “you or others who spoke out and have continued to speak out actually tend to underscore his feeling that there’s a political divide.”

Glasser: Well, it’s very interesting, because of course, there are so many things you don’t know at that moment in time, including, of course, I’m sure you assumed, along with everybody else, that Hillary Clinton was likely to be elected, and you saw this as contributing to that in some way. But it’s certainly relevant in the context of the situation we find ourselves in a year later. And, if it tends to embolden Trump in his critique of your former colleagues who are still serving in the intelligence agencies, and not only has this been a theme that he has struck repeatedly to criticize—but also to politicize this.

And inadvertently, perhaps, you or others who spoke out and have continued to speak out actually tend to underscore his feeling that there’s a political divide, and now you and others are on one side of it, and potentially all your former colleagues, and then he’s on the other side of it…

Morell: Yeah, and you can’t pick and choose like that. And when people in the intelligence community—particularly people in CIA, because for every other part of the intelligence community except CIA, you’re working for a cabinet member. At CIA, you are working for the president of the United States. That is your customer. Right?

So, when you see your customer questioning what it is that you are providing to him or her, and that person seems to be cherry-picking what they accept and what they don’t accept, it’s demoralizing. And when it’s demoralizing, people take actions, right? So, I live pretty close to the agency, and there’s a coffee shop between me and the agency, and I’ve met a number of agency officers in that coffee shop who have said to me, “I’m thinking about leaving.”

Yet Morell in a round about way previously admitted that he is personally one of the chief authors of precisely this “demoralizing” scenario in which the president doesn’t fully trust his intelligence briefers.

But we should all remember that this is a man who on the one hand described “Russia’s hacking is the political equivalent of 9/11” and constantly hyped “Russian propaganda”, while on the other he went on a lengthy RT News segment in order to promote his newly published book.

The Deep State, which is something I would have personally called anyone a nutty conspiracy theorist just for even mentioning it two short years ago, is real and it’s livid at the fact that an outsider like Donald Trump, who actually cares about us peons, is taking them apart at the seams. As of now, no one knows how this will end, but one thing is for certain, our President is in extreme danger and the Secret Service better be on top of their game.

Please share in support of President Donald Trump…

BREAKING News From The White House – THREE Traitors Headed To Prison

Ever since Trump took office, Barack Hussein Obama has been doing everything in his power to take our new President out. Trump has constantly been plagued with leaks coming from spies that Obama has implanted throughout the White House, where our top intelligence keeps winding up in the hands of the liberal media. In addition to constant leaks, we learned earlier this week from a rogue United Nations official that Obama is actively engaging in a coup d’état against President Trump, which is the first time this has happened to a sitting president in our nation’s history. As Obama continues to break federal law as a civilian by meeting with foreign diplomats to plot for Trump’s removal, a startling development has taken place revealing that Obama has a team of “secret police” at the White House that have been quietly doing his bidding from the moment that President Trump was sworn into office.

We’ve learned in recent months that the FBI is riddled with Obama’s minions and has transformed into the rogue criminal arm of Obama’s shadow government. The FBI is now fully operating as essentially Obama’s secret police, as these law enforcement agencies are now doing the bidding of slimy politicians, rather than upholding their oath, which is to pursue impartial justice on behalf of the public. Now an attempted political coup on the part of Obama’s “secret police” in the form of swamp creatures Robert Mueller, James Comey, and Peter Stzok is actively taking place, and their illegal coup to remove President Trump from office is now being exposed once and for all.

Robert Mueller and Peter Stzok

What most people don’t realize is that Robert Mueller special counsel investigation is highly illegal. In order for an investigation to even be launched against the President in the first place, the Department of Justice’s regulations first require a crime to be committed, yet no crime has ever been named in order to even justify the special counsel appointment to even take place. Strzok and Mueller have not only launched an illegal investigation into Trump, but are now attempting to fabricate material as a pretext to demand his impeachment as they try to engineer and fabricate crimes against Trump in order to justify this ongoing witch-hunt.  One shining example of this was the guilty plea that these two swamp creatures were able to attain from General Flynn that “stems wholly from the FBI deceptively interviewing Flynn under false pretenses, then catching him in a misstatement when he didn’t even realize he was being interviewed as part of a criminal trap,” Natural News exposed.

But the revelation of this entire investigation into President Trump being highly illegal is just the beginning of the scandal. Now Obama’s rogue secret police (AKA these crooked FBI officials) are now engaged in a massive cover-up, blocking damning information on Peter Strzok to make sure it doesn’t go public because they know this information would nullify the entire investigation.

“The FBI blocked all information on its website about a top counter-terrorism official who was kicked off of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation for sending politically-biased text messages to an FBI lawyer,” reports the Daily Caller began. “It was revealed on Saturday that Strzok was removed from Mueller’s team in August after the Department of Justice’s inspector general discovered that he exchanged anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton text messages with his mistress, an FBI lawyer named Lisa Page who also worked on the Mueller team.” Via Daily Caller:

The revelation of Strzok’s biased texts is significant because of his central role in both the Russia investigation and the Clinton email probe. As the FBI’s No. 2 counter-terrorism official, Strzok helped start both of the investigations. He also conducted interviews with former national security adviser Michael Flynn in the Russia investigation and with Clinton and several of her top aides in the email inquiry.

Now Mueller and his team of swine are in serious trouble, as Fox News is now exposing that the FBI is facing contempt charges from Congress for conspiring to keep evidence proving that Stzok was a crooked anti-Trump official that had been placed onto Mueller’s team to ensnare Trump at all costs, proving that President Trump never stood a chance at a fair investigation.

“House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., had demanded the text messages between FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer with whom Strzok was romantically involved,” reports Fox News. “House investigators have long regarded him as a key figure in the chain of events when the bureau, in 2016, received the infamous anti-Trump ‘dossier’ and launched a counterintelligence investigation into Russian meddling in the election that ultimately came to encompass FISA surveillance of a Trump campaign associate.”

“Today [Robert Mueller] leads the most corrupt, criminal and treasonous Coup D’état in American history,” warns The Gateway Pundit. “Today the FBI that Mueller ran is in shambles.  No one with an ounce of common sense believes that the FBI exhibits integrity and this is in large part because of the actions of Robert Mueller and his close allies who recently led the FBI.”

“President Donald Trump ripped the ‘double standard’ in how 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was treated and how Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser, was treated,” reports

“So General Flynn lies to the FBI and his life is destroyed, while Crooked Hillary Clinton, on that now famous FBI holiday ‘interrogation’ with no swearing in and no recording, lies many times … and nothing happens to her? Rigged system, or just a double standard?” Trump tweeted:

The FBI is absolutely out of control at this point as it clearly considers itself above the law and is merely working as the arm of Obama’s rogue criminal secret police. These crooked swamp creatures have absolutely no interest in justice, and are simply existing to do the bidding of Barack Hussein Obama who continues to prove how far he’s willing to go to have Trump removed as President, where he continues to break federal law by meeting as a civilian with foreign officials behind President Trump’s back.
