Sessions: Choose carefully America, 2016 is 'The Last Chance'
ByPaulBedard (@SecretsBedard) •1/29/16 5:34 PM
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, a leading voice on trade,immigration and executive 
powers, is urging Americans to choose their nextpresident carefully because 
2016 "is the last chance for the Americanpeople to take back control of their 
government."In a sober interview with Secrets, the Republicanwarned that 
liberal special interests, Wall Street moguls, and internationalmedia 
conglomerates are fast turning the United States into just another memberof the 
European Union and that the effort is being led by a Democraticpresident eager 
to go his own way with executive orders.
"This election is different because we havepall-mall erosion of law, the 
constitutional order, where President Obama haspushed an agenda that 
eviscerates the immigration legal system, and pushed thistrade agreement that 
will commence decades of transferring American economicpower to an 
ever-expanding international commission. It's just not going tostop" unless 
voters take action, he warned."This is the way the European Union began,"he 
added.
Highlighting immigration and trade, Sessions urgedvoters to choose a candidate 
who will commit to killing the Trans-PacificPartnership trade deal with nearly 
a dozen Asian nations which is slated tocost 448,000 U.S. jobs, and finally 
make good on 30 years of promises to put anend to illegal immigration, which is 
costing the nation billions in welfare andundermining U.S. wages.
"This election will be the last chance forAmericans to get control of their 
government," said Sessions, repeatedlymaking that point. "I think this election 
is the big one. To win,Republicans need to demonstrate that they care about the 
average person whogoes to work every day," he added.
Most Republicans are against TPP, and even HillaryClinton has come out in 
opposition of a deal she laid the groundwork for andonce called the gold 
standard. And there is some difference on immigrationbetween the Republican 
candidates.Sessions said that if candidates don't promise to endTPP and close 
the border, voters should move on. "People should have totalconfidence and a 
clear commitment on those issues. If they don't, then theydon't have my vote," 
he said.
The influence of Sessions on key issues in thepresidential race, especially TPP 
and immigration, can't be underestimated. Hewas the loudest voice against TPP, 
which the president plans to sign in thecoming weeks, and helped Donald Trump 
and Sen. Ted Cruz on immigration issues.
He warned that if the next president OK's TPP, itwould erode U.S. economic 
power and put trade under a powerful commission onwhich America would have just 
one vote.
On immigration, he slammed decades of failed promises.
"It's been a sham, decade after decade, and thevoters need to know that this 
might be the last chance to elect a president whocan reduce this tide and to 
end the illegality and serve the interests ofworking Americans. Their jobs, 
their wages, their hospitals, their schools thepublic safety, have to be put 
first," Sessions urged.

[FairfieldLife] The Bane of Inequality

2016-01-31 Thread emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
What to Do About the Bane of Inequality, A First Step  By Roger Kimball January 
29, 2016 
  
 Fellow elitists, this is Harvard. 

 

 Are you worried about inequality? I am not. You are not supposed to say it, 
but inequality is an important motor of progress, as James Piereson has shown 
in The Inequality Hoax 
http://www.amazon.com/Inequality-Hoax-Encounter-Broadsides/dp/159403785X. But 
if the thought of inequality keeps you up at night, you should get behind Glenn 
Reynolds' suggestion that we abolish the Ivy League. Really, is there a greater 
engine for the perpetuation of inequality than those bastions of wealth and 
(mostly white) privilege?
 

 But perhaps outright abolishing Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and the other top 
colleges is a step too far. Maybe, as Glenn has also suggested, we should just 
address the issue by a little redistributive justice. For any college or 
university with an endowment of more than, say, $1 billion we 1) stop all 
federal subsidies and 2) require that they send, say, 10% - 15% of their 
endowment to a college that caters primarily to poor students.
 

 The exact numbers are not critical. Maybe the threshold should be a $500 
million endowment. Maybe the required transfer should be set to the current 
personal income tax floor, which I believe is 28%. The exact numbers are 
negotiable, but the principle should be obvious. If we're against inequality, 
here is a concrete step we can take not only to make a statement but also make 
a difference. Make a Statement! Make a Difference!  It has a nice ring to it, 
don't you think? Yale's endowment, for example, is about $25 billion. I reckon 
Howard College could do quite a lot with $4 or $5 billion.
 

 Yep, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. Henceforth, 
contributions to the Ivy League and other top schools will not be tax 
deductible (that's a subsidy). Moreover, such institutions will get no federal 
grant money. Finally,  every year around tax time they will need to file with 
the IRS and send a check equal to some agreed upon proportion of the market 
value of their endowment for redistribution to some deserving poorer 
institutions. So you see, not only will this scheme have a pleasing 
redistributive effect, it will also create an entirely new federal bureaucracy. 
 If you are in favor of redistributive justice, you are probably also in favor 
of creating huge, wasteful, incompetent government bureaucracies. I can more or 
less guarantee this will be a doozy.
 

 In order to get the ball rolling, students at Harvard, Yale, etc., should 
organize and protest the elite status of their institutions. They should stage 
sit-ins at the chief sites of oppressions in the their university: the 
President's Office, say. They should also erect little tent cities on public 
quads demanding the divestiture of some portion of their institution's 
endowment. We're only a couple months away from spring, traditionally the time 
when most college protests really get going. This spring, students at the Ivies 
ought to band together and strike a blow against the blatant inequality their 
privileged institutions embody. Make a Statement! Make a Difference!

Equality is a about equality of rights.  We are all born with different 
strengths and weaknesses. What the current problem is there is the rich 
have made out like bandits (quite literally in many cases) and there is 
too much gap between the richest and the poorest.  We already pay out 
too much to take care of the poorest through inadequate means so it 
would be better to just provide a safety net (guaranteed basic annual 
income) to keep them off the streets.  It would cost far less than what 
we are spending now.  Help people find their strengths and don't tell 
them "everyone wins" because they only will if you help them find what 
they're good at.  India figured this out a long time ago. It's call 
"dharma."


I guess that doesn't fit your favored national socialist scheme?

Ancient Medicinal Clay Combats 'Superbug' Infections By Nick Tate   |   Friday, 
29 Jan 2016 02:43 PM 
  
 A naturally occurring clay long used by natural healers in British Columbia, 
Canada, has been shown to have strong antibacterial properties that may make it 
particularly useful against multidrug-resistant “superbug” infectious pathogens.
 
 The findings, by University of British Columbia researchers, indicate the rare 
mineral clay could be an effective new weapon against so-called ESKAPE 
pathogens that cause the majority of U.S. hospital infections and are resistant 
to antibiotics.
 
 "Infections caused by ESKAPE bacteria are essentially untreatable and 
contribute to increasing mortality in hospitals," noted UBC microbiologist 
Julian Davies, co-author of the paper published in the American Society for 
Microbiology's mBio journal.
 
 "After 50 years of over-using and misusing antibiotics, ancient medicinals and 
other natural mineral-based agents may provide new weapons in the battle 
against multidrug-resistant pathogens."
 
 The clay is common in the Heiltsuk First Nation's traditional territory, 250 
miles north of Vancouver, and is part of a deposit formed near the end of the 
last Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years ago.
 
 Local First Nations people have used the clay for centuries for its 
therapeutic properties — to treat ulcerative colitis, duodenal ulcer, 
arthritis, neuritis, phlebitis, skin irritation, and burns.
 
 "We're fortunate to be able to partner with UBC on this significant research 
program" said Lawrence Lund, president of Kisameet Glacial Clay, a business 
formed to market cosmetic and medicinal products derived from the clay. "We 
hope it will lead to the development of a novel and safe antimicrobial that can 
be added to the diminished arsenal for the fight against the ESKAPE pathogens 
and other infection-related health issues plaguing the planet."

I was born at the tail end of what would be considered the "baby boomers."  The 
millennials today (and I have two of them) do seem to have to deal with a sense 
of "entitlement" that I never had. And, I didn't bring mine up with one, but I 
noted/note it.   

 However, I am beginning to think the case is rather that, given all that the 
millennials have to sort through— today's technological world, fast-changing 
economics, (e.g., one no longer assumes that one will be able to go to work in 
the industry or for the company one's parents and grandparents did), changing 
rules of engagement, relationship, etc.—it simply takes additional time to 
assume certain kinds of responsibility.  Most are way ahead in some respects, 
intuitively and with regard to responsibility to social and environmental 
concerns.  But, to sort through the myriad of options, choices, paths and faced 
with the rising costs of education and life and housing, etc., they are perhaps 
more reticent to jump into the fray before they feel ready.  When I came of age 
"18," I was out.  Now, I think the timeframe for launching, in many cases, has 
changed to between the agea of 18 and 25; this is the new timeframe where 
"responsibility" can be patiently and lovingly and compassionately taught, and 
should be respectfully required, of those that would be entitled.  They have a 
lot more to deal with then we did.

Desiderata For Our Time Posted on January 30, 2016 by Seneca III
 

 Go with stout heart amid the noise and turmoil, and remember what peace there 
may be in victory. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with 
your own and forgive them their timidity for they do not understand what is 
upon them.
 

 Give neither time nor succour to those loud and aggressive people who are 
inimical towards you; they are vexatious to the spirit and a threat to your 
person. If you compare yourself with them you waste your days in needless 
introspection.
 

 Enjoy your achievements and those of your forebears, and stay true to your 
past. Keep yourself interested in your freedom, however demanding; it is a real 
possession in the changing fortunes of time.
 

 Exercise caution in your governance, for those who would presume to govern can 
often be full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtues there are 
amongst your own; many people strive for high ideals, and everywhere the lives 
of your brothers and sisters are full of quiet heroism.
 

 Speak truth unto tyrants and listen to others who do the same. Speak of this 
even to those of your gentle neighbours who stand confused amidst the tumult; 
they did not ask to be defenestrated and consumed in an inferno of treachery.
 

 Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection for those who hold none for 
you. Neither be cynical about your love for your own; they who do not possess 
this gift are in all their aridity and disenchantment as sterile as the sands 
of their deserts.
 

 Take wisely the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the naivety of 
youth; it is not ordained that your bloodline be scoured from the pages of 
history nor that your lives and livelihoods be torn asunder on a rack of 
barbarism.
 

 Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not 
distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and 
loneliness, but if you are joined each with the other who stands beside you, 
fatigue will not bring fear as its handmaiden.
 

 With a wholesome discipline be firm with yourself and ruthless unto those who 
would destroy you. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and 
the stars; in absolute, you, and you alone, have the right to live safe in your 
ancestral lands all according to your ways.
 

 And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is not unfolding 
as it should. Therefore be at ease with those actions you must now take in 
order to gift to your children a future free of chains, and give no mercy where

I am not convinced the citizenry is ready to actuate the revolution Mr. Sanders 
indicates will be needed *after* enacting him president.  The revolution needs 
to precede the election of a new kind of leader; one person cannot effect 
change alone.  I do not feel the level of commitment needed yet; we have not 
suffered enough.  Electing the Donald might tip the scales among the masses, 
might generate the level of outrage necessary to tip the scales in favor of a 
new understanding of the necessity of leadership based on a foundation of good 
principle, "of and for the people," with agreement on the need for "checks and 
balances."  When one is acting in accordance with good principle, votes are not 
bought and paid for. We will learn this the hard way if we elect the Donald.

 Sessions: Choose carefully America, 2016 is 'The Last Chance'
 

 By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard http://twitter.com/SecretsBedard) • 1/29/16 
5:34 PM
 

 Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, a leading voice on trade, immigration and 
executive powers, is urging Americans to choose their next president carefully 
because 2016 "is the last chance for the American people to take back control 
of their government."
 In a sober interview with Secrets, the Republican warned that liberal special 
interests, Wall Street moguls, and international media conglomerates are fast 
turning the United States into just another member of the European Union and 
that the effort is being led by a Democratic president eager to go his own way 
with executive orders.
 

 "This election is different because we have pall-mall erosion of law, the 
constitutional order, where President Obama has pushed an agenda that 
eviscerates the immigration legal system, and pushed this trade agreement that 
will commence decades of transferring American economic power to an 
ever-expanding international commission. It's just not going to stop" unless 
voters take action, he warned.
 "This is the way the European Union began," he added.
 

 Highlighting immigration and trade, Sessions urged voters to choose a 
candidate who will commit to killing the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal 
with nearly a dozen Asian nations which is slated to cost 448,000 U.S. jobs, 
and finally make good on 30 years of promises to put an end to illegal 
immigration, which is costing the nation billions in welfare and undermining 
U.S. wages.
 

 "This election will be the last chance for Americans to get control of their 
government," said Sessions, repeatedly making that point. "I think this 
election is the big one. To win, Republicans need to demonstrate that they care 
about the average person who goes to work every day," he added.
 

 Most Republicans are against TPP, and even Hillary Clinton has come out in 
opposition of a deal she laid the groundwork for and once called the gold 
standard. And there is some difference on immigration between the Republican 
candidates.
 Sessions said that if candidates don't promise to end TPP and close the 
border, voters should move on. "People should have total confidence and a clear 
commitment on those issues. If they don't, then they don't have my vote," he 
said.
 

 The influence of Sessions on key issues in the presidential race, especially 
TPP and immigration, can't be underestimated. He was the loudest voice against 
TPP, which the president plans to sign in the coming weeks, and helped Donald 
Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz on immigration issues.
 

 He warned that if the next president OK's TPP, it would erode U.S. economic 
power and put trade under a powerful commission on which America would have 
just one vote.
 

 On immigration, he slammed decades of failed promises.
 

 "It's been a sham, decade after decade, and the voters need to know that this 
might be the last chance to elect a president who can reduce this tide and to 
end the illegality and serve the interests of working Americans. Their jobs, 
their wages, their hospitals, their schools the public safety, have to be put 
first," Sessions urged.

 Political disagreement is different that criminal harassment in practice.
 In court it just depends on how 'personal' someone makes it.
 The courts can figure that out between people if necessary.
 In the cyber world it is proly best to keep your speech within the bounds of

"Iowa law sets forth a number of assault-related crimes. The crime of 
misdemeanor assault involves intentionally causing pain or injury to another 
person or placing another person in fear of offensive physical contact or 
injury. 

 ..these crimes, however, hinge on the basic definition of assault, which in 
Iowa is:
 any act intended to cause pain or injury to another, coupled with the apparent 
ability to execute the act any act intended to result in offensive physical 
contact or to place another in fear of imminent offensive physical contact, 
coupled with the apparent ability to execute the act, .. Actual injury is not 
required for a crime to be called an assault, nor is actual physical contact."

[FairfieldLife] MYTH BUSTED: Actually, Yes, Hitler Was a Socialist Liberal

2016-01-31 Thread emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
If you take nothing else from this post, just remember Hitler was a socialist. 
 A favorite tactic employed by leftists is to describe the Nazis as “right 
wing,” with Adolf Hitler, their leader, as the grand leader of this “right 
wing” movement. Rewriting history is pretty common for leftists, as their 
history is littered with injustice (the KKK was founded and cultivated by 
Democrats - did you know?). Injustices they claim to fight against today. 
Awkward.
 
 
 But thanks to this nifty thing called “history” in combination with “the 
internet,” we can bust this myth once and for all. Thoroughly. Or until a 
leftist insists on ignoring it. Then we’ll hold them down and tape their eyes 
open. Just kidding, that’s only what a leftist would do.

2016-01-31 Thread emily.ma...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
It's a little more complicated than that.  It is possible to win the popular 
vote and lose the electoral vote.  Bush got the electoral votes from Florida 
after the Supreme Court "settled" the "recount" controversy, and they were 
enough to give him the majority win.  First time since 1888 that popular and 
electoral didn't sync. 

 Question: Which presidents were elected without winning the popular vote?
 Answer: Four presidents took office without winning the popular vote. In other 
words, they did not receive a plurality in terms of the popular vote. They were 
elected, instead, by the electoral college or in the case of John Quincy Adams 
http://americanhistory.about.com/cs/johnquincyadams/a/quotejqadams.htmby the 
House of Representatives after a tie in the electoral votes. They were:
 John Quincy Adams 
http://americanhistory.about.com/od/johnquincyadams/p/pjqadams.htm who lost by 
44,804 votes to Andrew Jackson 
http://americanhistory.about.com/od/andrewjackson/p/pjackson.htm in 1824 
Rutherford B. Hayes 
http://americanhistory.about.com/od/rutherfordbhayes1/p/phayes.htm who lost by 
264,292 votes to Samuel J. Tilden in 1876 Benjamin Harrison

 Ta. 
 

 I think Bhairitu and Emily thought I was referring to the *Presidential 
Election* itself - which is indeed decided by majority vote (give or take 
disputes over ballot-paper design).
 

 I (Bonnie also) was talking about the regional selection for each party's 
candidate to face off against their rival.
 

 I think Bonnie is right about the principle though. (I've heard it mentioned 
before.) The delegates who eventually choose the one presidential *candidate* 
for their party are not actually legally bound to respect the wishes of the 
voters in their particular state. And Trump could scare GOP shitless.
 

 Just wondering if that situation has ever happened before. 
 Bonnie sounded confident it would happen this time; I'm thinking, like you, it 
could precipitate a crisis of epic proportions.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Canadian “Hate Speech” Pro posal Threatens Free Speech

2016-01-31 Thread s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
I'm implacably opposed to all thought-crime legislation. 

 I liked this line - "Nietzsche, Shakespeare and Voltaire could all be found to 
have incited violence and hatred. Should they have been censored?"

 Thirteen years, thirteen honor killings, all in Muslim families, all of them 
in Canada. But if you should condemn those murders, you might find yourself the 
subject...

[FairfieldLife] Re: IA law gives people time off of work to caucus!

2016-01-31 Thread s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
What's the point?  

 I was listening to Yank playwright Bonnie Greer today and she mentioned 
something that really shook me: Trump has no chance of becoming President (no - 
that bit didn't shake me!) because even if he wins every caucus/primary he 
contests the Republican bigwigs will block his candidature. That last bit was 
the shocker.
 

 So these primaries are in the end just advisory! The Democrat and GOP 
establishments will just pat you on the head and tell you they will "listen" to 
your concerns. 
 

 Has it ever actually happened in US history that the popular choice for 
Presidential contender - Red or Blue -has been overturned at the final hurdle?
 

 It's freezing out there. Stay indoors.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Stalingrad of Free Speech

2016-01-31 Thread emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
Stalingrad? Like something gone too far?
 "..the goal of redefining political disagreement as criminal harassment."
  
 The WWII battle of Stalingrad was the event that halted the advance of the 
German forces against Russia. The historical reference in the article pointed 
to the stoppage of an assault. This meaning has escaped you.
  
 Being part of the TMO, the free speech rights of the first amendment would not 
appear to you as a significant. However, even in Canada and Great Britain, 
there is still the semblance of free speech.
 The Canadian court victory against defining political disagreement as criminal 
is only temporary. 
  
 You need to reconsider the meaning of the clause “political disagreement”. 
 It is even now being proposed as "hate speech" in a new law offered in Quebec 
as Bill 59.
