You can always count on Rand Paul to come out on the wrong side of the issue eventually, no matter what that issue may be.
Having borders? Unconstitutional.
Taking conservatives’ guns away? Please, go right ahead!
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) shocked his liberty-minded base after he signaled support for red flag gun laws in an interview on Tuesday, as reported by the Associated Press on Tuesday.
The AP profiled Paul’s recovery from lung-removal surgery, which happened as a complication from an ambush attack by his left-wing former neighbor Rene Boucher outside of his home in late 2017. He is close to a full recovery and ready to return to work in Washington D.C.
“It is great to be here,” he said while speaking in Kentucky at a chamber of commerce luncheon. “It is great to be upright and walking around and beginning to heal.”
“And like anybody else who’s used to being active, it’s hard to sit still,” Paul added. “I’m ready to get back in the mix of things and to start traveling around the state some.”
Arguably the most noteworthy line from Paul’s remarks was his position on gun control. Paul, who is one of the most unflinching proponents for gun rights in the Senate, made remarks indicating his support for red flag laws that would confiscate firearms from individuals deemed threatening to the public safety.
“I’m not opposed to sort of an emergency order for 48 hours and then you get a hearing in a court where you get the full due-process protections,” he said. “It’s the one thing that could fix a lot of stuff. I think most of these homicidal attackers … are sending off signals to their family and community.”
I don’t know what I even expected. The truth is, he was destined for mediocrity and unpopularity the moment he was given that retarded name.
His father, who was himself “Rand” in all but name, went ahead and named his son in honor of a psycho Jew she-shill who wanted the goyim to accept the teachings of Jewish Capitalism into their hearts and souls.
With such a rocky start, it’s not hard to see why Rand went on to become such a failure later in life.
Needless to say, Red Flag Gun Laws are a very bad idea. They will be the preferred method used by the Left/Liberals/Bolsheviks to strip bad goyim of their weapons and send them to gulags. There’s a reason that they’re called “Red Flag” laws, after all.
And while we’re at it, Lolberts and Communists really are just two flip-sides to the same coin.
If I wanted to take a deep dive on the subject, I’d start by pointing out that Communism is always supported and fostered by Capitalist countries in both the revolution stage and then in the recovery and investment stage.
This seems counter-intuitive to people, but it all makes sense when you consider the fact that Communism, wherever it has been tried, has basically reduced the cost of human labor to almost zero – imposing slave-like conditions on the people of the country that it conquers. With such low labor costs, Capital is eager to flood in and start setting up manufacturing.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the relationship is symbiotic.
People forget that the entire economy of the USSR was built by American companies eager to swoop in on a new market and use the cheap labor now afforded to them by the Communist revolution.
Ford Model A’s were built during the NEP period in the USSR.
You could say that this was a fluke, I suppose, but it happened again in China and Vietnam did it not?
Does any lolbert ever ask why Capital is so eager to leave middle-class heavy countries and move into supposedly hostile Communist countries without individual rights and business guarantees and Jesus and all that jazz that patriotic big business is supposed to be for?
Well, it is because Capitalism simply cannot exist without Communism.
Basically, Communism is the wrecking crew that goes in and destroys traditional societies and turns everyone into an atomized worker when simple Capitalist carrot and stick coercion measures don’t work. Religion, peasant culture, the nobility – anything that can stand against the power of Capital is systematically destroyed if it refuses to first be bought out.
That is, any large country with a well-paid workforce and culturally-grounded society needs to be either bought out or brought down. Fancy-pantsy ideology and free-market Jewish theology is just used as a smoke and mirror show to distract the goyim from true power processes.
Just look at what happened in the USSR.
They were being propped up by the Capitalists and they had literally no problem rationalizing it all away.
What I’m trying to say here is that ideology is bullshit, and watching Poodlehead Paul try wrestle with his religious beliefs instead of doing what is the best for his country and for his constituency – rural White folks – is frustrating and retarded. What’s worse, Rand no doubt thinks his constant waffling makes him a principled man.
But there is only one principle worth ever following in this world and that is doing what is right by your own people, ideology be damned.
Rand Paul is just an unhelpful one-lunged doofus who will never be President.

Source apportionment of atmospheric ammonia before, during, and after the 2014 APEC summit in Beijing using stable nitrogen isotope signatures
Abstract. Stable nitrogen isotope composition (δ15N) offers new opportunities to address the long-standing and ongoing controversy regarding the origins of ambient ammonia (NH3), a vital precursor of PM2.5 (particulate matters with aerodynamic diameter equal or less than 2.5 µm) inorganic components, in the urban atmosphere. In this study, the δ15N values of NH3 samples collected from various sources were constrained using a novel and robust chemical method coupled with standard elemental analysis procedures. Independent of the wide variation in mass concentrations (ranging from 33 (vehicle) to over 6000 (human excreta) µg m−3), different NH3 sources have generally different δ15N values (ranging from −52.0 to −9.6 ‰). Significantly high δ15N values are seen as a characteristic feature of all vehicle-derived NH3 samples (−14.2 ± 2.8 ‰), which can be distinguished from other sources emitted at environmental temperature (−29.1 ± 1.7, −37.8 ± 3.6, and −50.0 ± 1.8 ‰ for livestock, waste, and fertilizer, respectively).
The isotope δ15N signatures for a range of NH3 emission sources were used to evaluate the contributions of the different sources within measured ambient NH3 in Beijing, using an isotope mixing model (IsoSource). The method was used to quantify the sources of ambient NH3 before, during and after the 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, when a set of stringent air quality control measures were implemented. Results show that the average NH3 concentrations (the overall contributions of traffic, waste, livestock, and fertilizer) during the three periods were 9.1 (20.3, 28.3, 23.6, and 27.7 %), 7.3 (8.8, 24.9, 14.3, and 52.0 %), and 12.7 (29.4, 23.6, 31.7, and 15.4 %) µg m−3, respectively, representing a 20.0 % decrease first and then a 74.5 % increase in overall NH3 mass concentrations. During (after) the summit, the contributions of traffic, waste, livestock, and fertilizer decreased (increased) by 56.7 (234.2), 12.0 (−5.0), 39.4 (120.8), and −87.7 % (−70.5 %) when compared with periods before (during) the summit, respectively, signifying that future NH3 control efforts in megacities like Beijing should prioritize traffic sector as well as livestock breeding. The results show that isotope ratio measurements of NH3 to be a valuable tool to quantify the atmospheric sources of NH3 in urban atmospheres.

text: When I first saw ‘African Blue’ basil in bloom, I was amazed. I had never seen so many bees on one plant! A must for beekeepers and additionally the leaves make a very tasty pesto. It is very cold tolerant and the only basil that does well in the San Francisco fog. An accidental cross between a tall East African basil and ‘Dark Opal’, ‘African Blue’ grows to 1.5-2’ tall when pinched for eating and a 3’x3’ bush if left to bloom. Purple buds open to lavender flowers and the leaves may have purple speckles on the underside. It does not set seeds and thus keeps growing/blooming until frost. Pinch your plant to encourage bushiness, then plant in full sun and well amended soil. Keep moist for the best flavor.

Although there are moments of rest, tango is mainly in flux. The fluidity of the dance needs to be materialized in the flow as well. Experienced dancers know that the body produces continuous lilts or cadences due to the alternate weight shift from one foot to the other, which can be enhanced by intentionally increasing the swing of the body. (See Cadencia.) When two dancers swing together in rhythm to the music, it feels like the baby in the cradle being comfortably swayed, or the fish in the water being gently surged by the wave, which is a very cozy feeling especially for the woman, as she is the one nestling in his arms and enjoying the ride. (See Driving and Synchronization.)
The swing could be mono-directional, but usually it alternates in opposite directions. The man swings the woman's torso, causing her free leg to swing along. As her foot lands on the floor, he goes on to swing her torso in the opposite direction, resulting in her other leg to swing reversely. In order to do so the woman needs to swivel her hips as her weight is shifting to the standing foot, so that her free leg could take advantage of the inertia of her moving body to swing in the opposite direction. This is known as ocho, the most common step in tango. The cadencia used in both front ocho and back ocho is essentially the same technique. (See Dissociation and Gear Effect.) Often, tango teachers do not emphasize the swing of the body and leg when they teach ocho. However, if the cadencia is blended in, it will not only make the ocho more elegant, outlining the feminine beauty of her body, but also produce a swing or flying like feeling, making the movement more enjoyable.
To generate the swing, there must be some speed in the horizontal direction. If you stay at the same spot doing steps without any forward or horizontal motion, it would be difficult to generate the swing. That is why skilled dancers like to dance in the flow. When the floor is full of experienced dancers, you will see the flow of people moving counterclockwise like the waves surging forward in accordance with the rhythm of the music, and the speed of the flow is quite fast. But if there are too many novices on the dance floor, then the speed of the flow is slowed down. Sometimes it even becomes like a pool of stagnant water.
Novices who have no sense of flow often remain at the same place doing steps, disregarding the people behind waiting for them to move. (See Spot Dancing in Tango.) In an empty room this may cause no problem, but on a crowded floor that is senseless. Mark Word calls such people "rocks in the stream". You drive to work in the morning and suddenly there is a car way below the speed limit blocking your way, that is the same kind of feeling. People dancing on a crowded dance floor must not be such "rocks in the stream". I'm not saying that you cannot slow down, pause for a moment, and then move on. Veterans do slow steps as well. But they do so only when the music tells everyone to slow down, or when there is enough space. If the people behind are approaching, then you need to move forward to avoid causing obstruction to traffic. This is the codigo, which everyone dancing on a crowded dance floor must follow.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12/02/2019
Joint Statement from Representative Cody Harris & Senator Robert Nichols Regarding Union Pacific Railroad and the City of Palestine
For 150 years, the City of Palestine has been a railroad town. Our heritage, development and growth have all centered on working hand-in-hand with the various companies who have owned the railroad since our town was first built. Today, the Palestine car shop is one of only two car shops on the Union Pacific Railroad that performs heavy modifications and repairs to freight cars. The Union Pacific workforce in Palestine has earned a reputation for safely and efficiently delivering quality work and has brought great pride to Palestine and Anderson County. Recently, Union Pacific filed suit against the City of Palestine to challenge a 150-year-old contract which currently guarantees nearly one hundred local jobs. For decades, the City of Palestine has negotiated in good-faith to insure both the success of Union Pacific and a continuation of the agreement.
I urge Union Pacific to uphold the current contract and abandon its attempt to break this long-standing agreement. Breaking the agreement or convincing a court to nullify the contract would have a devastating impact on our local economy and the 60 families who’ve devoted their lives and their careers to Union Pacific.
Senator Nichols and I have seen firsthand the positive impacts Union Pacific has provided our community. Union Pacific has supported Palestine and Anderson County for decades with great relationships and a workforce that has provided record earnings in recent years.
I look forward to working with both Union Pacific and the City of Palestine to ensure that high-quality jobs continue to be created and retained to the benefit of everyone in our great community.

Brrrrr!!!! The weather has now turned icy-cold in Victoria (Australia)! Well, what we Aussies considered to be cold anyway! From now on, temperatures will sit fairly consistently between 0 (overnight) and 16 degrees celsius (during the day) for most of the Winter months (June, July and August). It is exceedingly rare that we get snow in the city of Melbourne itself, but there are days when we know that the bitterly cold winds are blowing right off the snow-capped mountain ranges not to far away.
So for our winter playscape, we chose to steal “A little bit of Winter” from Alaska.
Complete with Inuit representation, Igloo’s, seals, polar bears, reindeer’s and a team of huskies.
Many imaginative stories and pretend play sequences evolved as the children engaged with the playscape.
From seals escaping from the jaws of killer whales to reindeer hiding in the forest to protect themselves from roaming polar bears. The Igloo became a safe haven for many animals.
The animals communicated with each other to ensure their safety. “Quick, hide in here, the polar bear is coming!”
I make sure that I accompany each playscape with a selection of related fiction and non-fiction books in our “Reading Corner’ for the children to research and explore play ideas.
I really enjoy hunting out materials and props for these little playscapes, I think almost as much as the children enjoy playing with them! 🙂

The Perfume Burned His Eyes
Matthew is a sixteen-year-old boy living in Jackson Heights, Queens, in 1976. After he loses his two most important male role models, his father and grandfather, his mother uses her inheritance to uproot Matthew and herself to a posh apartment building in Manhattan. Although only three miles away from his boyhood home, “the city” is a completely new and strange world to Matthew.
Matthew soon befriends (and becomes a factotum of sorts to) Lou Reed, who lives with his transgender girlfriend Rachel in the same building. The artistic-shamanic rocker eventually becomes an unorthodox father figure to Matthew, who finds himself head over heels for the mysterious Veronica, a wise-beyond-her-years girl he meets at his new school.
The novel is written from the point of view of Matthew at age eighteen, two years after the story begins, and concludes with an epilogue in the year 2013, three days after Lou Reed’s death, with Matthew in his fifties.

Video: Officer opens fire on armed suspect before vehicle pursuit
Officer Tyler Arney was fired at in his vehicle, but was not injured during pursuit
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — An Oklahoma City police officer was shot at, but not injured, while conducting a traffic stop that turned into a vehicle pursuit.
Body camera footage shows Officer Tyler Arney approaching the driver’s side door of a silver vehicle on Sept. 9. When he motions for the driver, later identified as Shelby Stanfield, to roll down the window and asks to see his hands, Stanfield holds up the gun that was resting in his lap.
KOCO reports Arney fired his gun while backing away, shattering the vehicle’s windows and hitting Stanfield, who then drove away from the scene. Body camera footage shows Arney radioing for backup as he climbs back into his patrol vehicle and begins pursuing Stanfield.
As the pursuit continued, Stanfield fired at Arney’s vehicle several times before tossing his gun out the window. Stanfield stopped driving after running over several curbs and damaging his car, KOCO reports.
Stanfield and his passenger were both arrested and charged. Arney was placed on administrative leave while an investigation into the incident was conducted, KOCO reports.

Advancements in the area of space logistics are witnessing new heights with the rollout of the world’s largest unmanned aircraft system( UAS) by Aevum, Inc.
According to the company that landed U.S Space Force as a client, Ravn X would carry satellites to orbit as rapidly as one in every 180 minutes.
Automated Launch is a modern way of space access. Aevum‘s Autonomous Launch requires a global, completely self-managed, self-flying, self-operating intelligent system called the Autonomous Launch Architecture, working together to deliver payloads from any ground source to any space destination in the low-earth orbit.
Ravn X, as claimed by Aevum, will provide on-demand accurate orbital delivery schedules as fast as every 180 minutes, 24/7, with no threat to human life. The largest UAS has been designed with reusability in mind with current efficacy at 70%. Future designs claim the device will be 95 % reusable. After its delivery to low-earth orbit, the UAS returns to Earth.
Ravn X is 80 ft. long, has a 60 ft. wingspan, is 18 ft. tall, and has a net takeoff weight of 55,000 lbs.
“The current definition of rocket science doesn’t work for us. With Aevum, everyone will be able to say, ‘It is rocket science and I can do it.’ Aevum is pushing logistics to the next generation with software and automation technologies,” said Jay Skylus, founder of Aevum. “U.S. leadership has identified the critical need for extremely fast access to low-Earth orbit. Through our autonomous technologies, Aevum will shorten the lead time of launches from years to months. ”
Aevum was founded in 2016 by CEO Jay Skylus and concentrated early on design, software, and rocket construction. By 2019, the company had made good strides, but it needed a deal to finance its first launch.
The Company has secured contracts worth more than a billion dollars including the delivery of 360 U.S Space Force satellites.
Ravn X will make it easier to access space
The revolutionary RavnX technology will accelerate growth in all directions, by reducing barriers of space access by cost, time, and efficiency.
Commerical access to space will open up the gates for a lucrative, sustainable, and endless stream of revenue that will usher in an era of unprecedented economic development.
Elon Musk’s Starlink project which has already launched 1000 satellites, the project will greatly benefit from developments in space logistics as the plan is to launch 11000 more. Currently, the cost of Ravn X is less than Elon’s SpaceX options for low orbit payload delivery.

How to test for dog breed traits
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is preparing to issue a warning about a new gene-testing technology that will allow owners to get a genetic test for their dog’s dog-biting tendencies.
The National Dog Breeders Association (NDBA) and several breeders have been pushing the new technology for years, saying it could help owners of dogs that can bark, bite and bite and even attack people.
The technology has the potential to improve the quality of life of dog owners.
The NDBA is the sole proponent of the gene-test, which the FDA is expected to approve soon.
The NDBA says the technology will help owners better understand whether a dog has traits like “borderline aggression,” which can cause dogs to become aggressive.
The company has already raised $7 million to develop the technology, but the NDBA has raised $2 million in seed funding from several companies, including Google Ventures, and other groups including the American Kennel Club, the Humane Society of the United States, and the University of Pennsylvania.
“The test has the capacity to detect breeds that are underrepresented in our data set,” said the NDBS chief executive officer, Steve Johnson.
The NDBS is part of the U.K.-based company Genetics Unlimited, which also owns a company that has developed similar testing kits. “
This is an innovative new breed identification technology and it has the promise to make a real difference in the lives of dogs and people.”
The NDBS is part of the U.K.-based company Genetics Unlimited, which also owns a company that has developed similar testing kits.
The company says its technology will be used by all breeders.
“If a breed is not represented in our database, our DNA test will not identify that breed, and we will not perform a breed assessment,” the company said in a statement.
“For our customers, this is a key tool for understanding their dogs and determining if a particular breed is suitable for a specific pet, such as a Labrador Retriever or a crossbreed,” the statement said.
“Our customers have made their commitment to breed identification and to being part of a breeding network.
If a particular dog or breed is identified, then the genetic information will be compared to our database and owners will be able to make the best decision for their particular dog.”
Gene-testing is already available for owners of certain breeds, such a Great Dane or Rottweiler.
It’s also available to owners of many other breeds, including American Bulldog, Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Stafford, German Shepherd, Akita, Pekingese, Bulldog and German Shepherd.
The test has been widely used in Canada, the U, Australia, Germany, Sweden, England and the U.
The test was developed by Genetics Unlimited and is being offered for use by more than 2,200 breeders, including the New York State Department of Health. “
However, we will be working with our industry partners to bring this technology to the U; this will include developing and testing a new method of screening for specific breeds,” the spokesperson said.
The test was developed by Genetics Unlimited and is being offered for use by more than 2,200 breeders, including the New York State Department of Health.
It has been tested for more than a dozen breeds, according to the company.
Gene-test kits are expensive.
They’re used for about half of the tests used by dog owners, said Julie Kelleher, a breed-identification expert at the University at Buffalo.
Kelleher said the tests can cost between $500 and $1,000 and require the dog owner to pay an additional fee for genetic tests for their specific breed.
A standard DNA test costs $40 to $80 and a saliva-based test costs between $20 and $40, Kelleer said.DNA tests are currently used to determine whether a breed has an increased risk of a certain disease or disorder, or if a dog is at risk of an injury or illness.
The tests are also used to identify certain health issues such as obesity, cancer and heart disease.
“It’s a relatively simple test that you could take anywhere,” Kelleh said.

David Cameron swore the sacked ministers he was conferring honours on to secrecy before announcing the accolades last night at a dinner with the parliamentary party. If it was supposed to create some fanfare and fuss around the departing ministers, it backfired: senior Conservative MPs were unsettled and annoyed by the decision and its timing. Announcing honours outside the normal twice-annual cycle for the New Year and the Queen’s birthday would have been strange anyway, but this comes just weeks after the Public Administration Select Committee criticised the way politicians automatically receive the accolades, regardless of how well they have performed.
Lib Dems are unhappy, too. Bristol West MP Stephen Williams says:
‘Honours should be given at a fixed point in the year as a reward for public service. They certainly should not be a form of consolation prize. It’s also preferable if we see gender balance.’
That ‘gender balance’ comment refers to the fact that the two female cabinet members who were sacked – Cheryl Gillan and Caroline Spelman – did not receive any honours. They were both identified as ministers who were underperforming, but it’s a wonder that Number 10 did not think their absence from the honours list might be interpreted badly, when it was always obvious that reporting of the reshuffle would always examine the treatment of and positions given to women MPs.
One woman who wasn’t sacked, but who did receive a consolation prize for a demotion was Baroness Warsi. James reports in his column that she was so annoyed by the Prime Minister’s decision to move her from the party chairmanship that she went back to Yorkshire. Once home, she continued her negotiations, and one of the concessions Cameron offered was that her two new jobs in the Foreign Office and Communities and Local Government department be gilded with the title ‘senior minister of state’, even though she will not be paid more than other ministers of state.
When this was announced, it caused some consternation amongst journalists, who asked the Prime Minister’s official spokesman a series of questions about this new job title at the afternoon lobby briefing. He responded with the same answer each time: ‘She’s a senior minister of state.’ Does that make other ministers of state junior? ‘She’s a senior minister of state.’ How is her job any different from other ministers of state? ‘She’s a senior minister of state.’Tags: Autumn reshuffle 2012, Baroness Warsi, Honours, UK politics


The subheading above is from the movie BASEketball. In an Oscar-worthy performance for both, Al Michaels talks about how exciting the game is, only to have Bob Costas respond with, “You’re excited? Feel these nipples!”
I can’t help but hear that line at every Big Ten Media Days.
If I had more time and foresight I would have taken video today of all seven coaches, plus Kevin Warren, and supercut every time they all said some variant of the word “excited”. It never fails. I have been to half a dozen or so of these now and everyone is “excited to be here and excited to get the season/camp started.


Our Cell-Tek anti-vibration plate for microscopes fitted with sensitive micromanipulation equipment is a standard component in our Cell-Tek 3000 IV microscope chamber for inverted scopes.
This plate is available as a useful vibration damping platform for any microscope.
Inverted microscopes come in varied shapes and weights. To accommodate the different weights of microscopes used in IVF and other reproductive technologies, the plate can be fitted with varying hardness degrees of rubber damping isolators. The range being from grades 2-5. (Where 5 being the firmest). The following chart will allow users to select a plate with range of isolators to suite their microscope.
As many inverted microscopes have 60% of the total weight at the rear if the instrument the front two isolators can be slid forward or back to better balance the overall weight so as to not over-compress the rear isolators.
The plate dimensions are 500 X 325 mm and have a low working height of 20 mm.

Did you know that the ice cream ”Chunky Monkey” is made with bananas from Asoguabo?
Bananas that are to big, too small or too scratched to be exported become the banana purée Ben & Jerry’s use in their ice cream.
”Chunky Monkey” is sold in supermarkets, in Makuuni video rental shops and in Ben & Jerrys’s own shops in Finland.
Now that I’ve seen where the bananas come from, I regret never tasting the ice cream. It’ll be one of the first things I do when I get back to Finland.

Scene-based nonuniformity correction techniques for infrared focal-plane arrays have been widely considered as a key technology, and various algorithms have been proposed to compensate for fixed-pattern noise. However, the existed algorithms' capability is always restricted by the problems of convergence speed and ghosting artifacts. In this paper, an effective scene-based nonuniformity correction method is proposed to solve these problems. The algorithm is an improvement over the constant statistics method and a temporal median is utilized with the Gaussian kernel to estimate the nonuniformity parameters. Also theoretical analysis is conducted to demonstrate that effective ghosting artifacts elimination and superior convergence speed can be obtained with the proposed method. Finally, the performance of the proposed technique is tested with infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and with infrared imagery with real nonuniformity. The results show the proposed method is able to estimate each detector's gain and to offset reliably and that it performs better in increasing convergence speed and reducing ghosting artifacts compared with the conventional techniques.

Cristiano Ronaldo's club season began with both goals in Real Madrid's Super Cup victory over Sevilla, a feat which saw him named Man of the Match by former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ronaldo was quick to praise his retired mentor, who handed him the trophy in Cardiff. The Portuguese star also indicated new signings James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos are settling in nicely, having put in useful performances against Spanish opposition during UEFA's showpiece event.
Ferguson received loving praise from the man he brought to Old Trafford exactly 11 years ago on Tuesday, reported by Neil Ashton of the Daily Mail:
I am happy because I scored these two goals and I want to thank Sir Alex for handing me the man of the match trophy.
He helped me a lot when I was just 18 in Manchester and I want to say I respect him and thank him so much for everything he did in my career.
You can see the moment Ronaldo received his trophy below, via 101 Great Goals:
Ronaldo's delight continued when addressing what Rodriguez and Kroos have already brought to the side, while also thanking the rest of his teammates for creating the conditions in which he could excel with a match-winning brace, per Ashton:
These are two crucial players for us, they played well and helped the team win an important trophy. That’s why we are happy at Real Madrid to welcome them. They are doing well and playing well. My team helped me and I am happy to score twice.
Both of Ronaldo's goals can be viewed below:
Real Madrid's most important player will be confident of capturing plenty of silverware heading into the new campaign. Last season's Champions League and Copa del Rey double was a fantastic achievement, especially when considering the holy ground of La Decima was finally reached. That said, third place in La Liga needs to be improved upon.
Ronaldo posted extraordinary numbers during the 2013-14 run. He scored 31 goals and provided nine assists in 30 La Liga appearances, while also breaking the Champions League record for most goals in a single season with 17 in 11 matches, per WhoScored.com.
Madrid's summer investments add further star quality to a squad that is bursting with world-class players. Neither Rodriguez nor Kroos were essential purchases—Angel Di Maria's failure to get off the bench in Wales proved that—but they galvanise Madrid's dominance. Of course, their exceptional quality ensures plenty of chances will be laid on for Ronaldo during the upcoming campaign.
The 29-year-old's old former colleagues at Manchester United may benefit from such investments, with Di Maria now likely to leave. Reports indicate the Red Devils are firm favourites to land the Argentinian's signature, with chief executive Ed Woodward ready to open talks for his transfer, per Simon Jones of the Daily Mail.
Dermot Corrigan of ESPN FC also believes Carlo Ancelotti's decision to bring on Marcelo, Isco and Asier Illarramendi against Sevilla means the end of the line for Di Maria:
Despite Madrid's constant state of luxurious flux, Ronaldo's presence remains indispensable. He has developed into a natural leader over the years, someone to be admired by his teammates, so it is important for the former Sporting Lisbon youngster to let the world know Madrid's new signings have settled in nicely.
Ronaldo's word, like his football, carries major weight over this Madrid setup. He is an example of how hard work can turn raw talent into match-defining quality, something Rodriguez will hope to learn during his spell in the Spanish capital.
While Ronaldo previously hinted he wouldn't rule out a return to United, per ESPN, followers of the English club will hope their former hero's performances can play a role in pushing Di Maria their way.
United have failed to replace Ronaldo in the six seasons since he left, but the Argentinian's quality would significantly improve upon wingers already at the Theatre of Dreams. Ferguson could one day play a key role in taking Ronaldo back to Manchester, as United fans long for the second coming of an individual who will always be classed as one of their own.

Bowl Mounted with Two Fish. Bowl: Yongzheng, 1730-1740; Fish: early 18th century; Mounts: 1745-1749. Porcelain with glaze monochrome turquoise/light blue and French ormolu mounts, 7 3/8 in. (18.7 cm). Acquired by William T. or Henry Walters, before 1896. 49.2266. The Walters Art Museum
Provenance: William T. / Henry Walters Collection, Baltimore, prior to 1896 [mode of acquisition unknown]; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.
The European practice of mounting porcelains with silver and gold embellishments began as early as the Middle Ages. This custom reached its apogee in eighteenth-century France, where the taste for Asian exoticism as well as the extravagance of the Rococo style created a consumer desire for luxury objects typified by mounted porcelains. Japanese and Chinese porcelains emerged in the luxury markets of Europe following their import by the Dutch East India Company in the seventeenth century. The French taste for these porcelains was further stimulated after the Siamese ambassadors visited the court of France in 1684 and 1686. The ambassadors brought more than 1500 porcelains for Louis XIV, as well as numerous other ceramic wares for members of the court. The royal family began collecting these objects, with the aristocracy of France quickly following suit. By the beginning of the eighteenth century, Europe was inundated with an influx of Asian porcelains. The simple elegance of porcelain appealed to wealthy Europeans not just for its aesthetic qualities, but also for the mysterious nature of its creation. The recipe for porcelain eluded European artisans for centuries. It was not until 1708 in Dresden that kaolin was found to be the missing ingredient. Even after this discovery, Europeans preferred their porcelains to be imported, enhancing their value through rarity and exoticism. The most prized porcelain wares in early eighteenth century were large vessels with single-color glazes, as these were the most difficult to transport and therefore the rarest. However, these forms did not complement the extravagant Rococo fashion of the French elite's interiors. The Rococo manner of the mid-eighteenth century is distinguished by playful superflousness, natural forms intertwined in ornate, asymmetrical designs, and colors such as pastels and gold. The juxtaposition of Asian porcelains with Rococo gilded mounts adapted the eastern objects to the French interiors.

New York: While cigarette and alcohol use are declining in the wake of public health campaigns, marijuana use among teenagers is on the rise in the US, says a study.
“Our analysis shows that public health campaigns are working — fewer teens are smoking cigarettes,” said Stephanie Lanza, professor of biobehavioral health at Pennsylvania State University.
“However, we were surprised to find the very clear message that kids are choosing marijuana over cigarettes,” Lanza said.
The researchers analysed data from a study that surveyed nearly 600,000 students between 1976 and 2013.
Students were asked about their use of three substances — alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana — during the 30 days prior to taking the survey.
The results reported in the Journal of Adolescent Health showed a marked decline in cigarette use and an increase in marijuana use.
The researchers found that marijuana usage significantly went up since 2011. The rate of teenage alcohol consumption has decreased since the mid-1970s, the findings showed.

I ordered an integrated brake light/indicator for my 99 900ss. But the turn indicators only came with a positive lead - no ground wire! I thought perhaps the negative lead went through the brake light plug. But that leaves 2 loose ground terminals from the bike. So as you can imagine, the indicators don't work. Any suggestions?

Latin-American evening and program release
Warming up to this year’s festival we are offering food, film, and music at Vippa 28. OKT.
Entrance is free, and food from all around the world is available for sale at Vippas food stalls. We will release the festival program for this year’s Films from the South, and invite audiences on a culinary journey through one of this year’s films: DIANA KENNEDY: NOTHING FANCY. After the screening, the night continues with a DJ and good atmosphere.
Time: Friday 28. OKT. The film starts at 19:00
About the film:
Join us for a wonderful journey in the art of cooking, with Diana Kennedy in the driver's seat.
Author and food writer Diana Kennedy died this summer at 99 years old, and despite her British origin, many will argue that she passed away as a Mexican at heart. She moved to Mexico in the 1960s where she eagerly began her life-long project exploring the Mexican food culture. In 1981 she received the prestigious award The Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle. When we meet her in the documentary, she is 97 years old, and has published no less than 17 cookbooks on the subject. We join her on a fabulous journey into a world where her love for the food culture trumps anything else in life.

Each dog and situation is different. Our plans are customized to meet the specific needs of your dog and family.
We take into consideration the entirety of your dog. That means we are looking at their breed, breed drive fulfillment, health, nutrition, exercise and enrichment when coming up with a training program.
Our one-on-one lesson program gives you and your dog the personal attention to teach him/her to be well mannered, dependably obedient even around the highest distractions. They’re for the owner who wants to take an active part in the dog training process from beginning to end. The benefit of one-on-one lessons is that you will have 100% attention: It is just you, your dog, and the dog trainer. This enables us to be in control of the level of distractions while your dog is learning. We introduce other people, dogs, animals, situations, etc. as your dog is ready for them. One-On-One Lesson training programs are customized to meet the individual needs of your dog and your family. From basic commands to major behavior issues we can put together a training plan to get your dog or puppy being their very best.
Bring your dog to stay with us for the day to be trained and pick up in the evening. At the end of the dog training program, you will be shown how to work with your dog to maintain and advance what he has learned. Training program details vary depending on the goals of the owner.
Like all of our programs, Stay & Train is customized to meet your dog's training needs. Your dog stays with us throughout the training process. Multiple follow-up lessons are included in the cost of the program to ensure you know how to maintain and advance your dog's training skills.
Note: Depending on the severity of behavior issues, an extension of training time may be required. This will be determined early on in the stay and train process.
Although we feel that in person lessons are the best way to train, we do realize that sometimes that's not possible. Virtual lessons are held using Zoom. You will need access to a computer with a webcam, laptop, tablet or cell phone with a camera and internet connection. You will be sent a meeting link for the appointment time. Please set up in an area where there is room to work with your dog.
The number of lessons needed for dog training heavily depends on the dog. If it's a puppy, adult dog, possible behavior issues and whether those issues are mild or severe, a dog's individual temperament and the goals the owner has for their dog's training.
Please give us a call at 618-923-1871 to get an estimate on a training plan for your dog or you can go to our contact page to send a message.

The Bram Stoker Award is one of the highest achievements that can be attained by a horror writer. Named after the author of Dracula, the award is presented each year by the Horror Writers Association, which promotes friendly competition in a variety of writing categories. Placing importance on new and neglected writers, the Bram Stoker Award isn’t a popularity contest, but a thoughtful selection of the most brilliant works published in any given year. We’ve sifted through the winners to bring you our top 13 picks. These Bram Stoker Award-winning horror books deserve all the acclaim they’ve garnered, and would make excellent additions to your TBR list.
Robert McCammon won the 1990 Bram Stoker Award with this “feverishly exciting...page-whipping thriller” (Kirkus Reviews). Back in the 60s, cultist Mary Terrell shot and killed a man, and she’s been on the lam ever since. When her drug-addled mind leads her to believe that her former leader is trying to contact her via a message in Rolling Stone, she inexplicably abducts a newborn baby from an Atlanta hospital. However, the infant’s mother is not to be messed with, and Mary will soon find herself pursued by a woman mad with rage and nearly as dangerous as she is…

Sunglasses After Dark
Sonja Blue is an abomination of nature: a half-vampire, half-human woman whose greatest foe is her own demonic alter ego with whom she’s constantly locked in battle. Determined to cling to what remains of her humanity, Sonja hunts down fellow vampires who prey on innocent people. In the series debut, Sonja suspects that a televangelist could be behind the disappearance of an heiress. Can she solve the mystery in time to save Denise Thorne from dark forces?

Joyce Carol Oates is a prolific horror writer who has amassed several awards, among them the Bram Stoker Award for this collection of six “frightening—and deeply disturbing—short stories” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). In the titular story, a boy traumatized by his cousin’s tragic death begins collecting dolls with a sinister significance. Other tales include that of a teenager girl who is confronted by an intruder while house-sitting, and a game of cat-and-mouse between rival bookstore owners, creating a collection that drips with suspense and menacing scenarios.

The Thread That Binds the Bones
Tom Renfield has long felt like an outcast, in no small part due to his extraordinary powers. He’s recently settled down in a small Oregon town, where he hopes he might finally fit in. However, trouble comes knocking when he crosses paths with Laura Bolte, a member of the town’s most ancient and mysterious family. Together, they’ll have to use their strange abilities to protect the locals from malevolent secrets.
“A melting pot of distinct voices and styles that leave you wanting more,” Fearful Symmetries is one of many horror anthologies edited by the great Ellen Datlow (Hellnotes). Featuring tales by Brian Evenson, Jeffrey Ford, Caítlin R. Kiernan, and more, this anthology—which also won a Shirley Jackson Award—features a breadth of styles that will appeal to every kind of horror fan. With swamp monsters, robots, murderous psychopaths, cannibalistic spirits, and more, there’s something in here for everyone.
Robert McCammon has been a towering figure in horror literature ever since he published his first book in 1978, so it’s no wonder that the New York Times bestselling author appears twice on this list of Bram Stoker Award winners. Published in 1987, Swan Song is “a long, satisfying look at hell and salvation” (Publishers Weekly). Nine-year-old Swan dreams of a life far removed from her dreary and mundane existence in a trailer park. She’s plagued by terrifying images of a scorched Earth and the mutated survivors of a nuclear apocalypse. These aren’t nightmares, they’re visions of a twisted future—and it’s up to young Swan to thwart it.
This Stephen King novel tied with Swan Song for the 1987 Bram Stoker Award. It was adapted into an equally successful movie starring James Caan and Kathy Bates, then-unknown, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Annie Wilkes. Acclaimed as the film may be, however, trust us when we say the novel is infinitely more terrifying. A writer thanks his lucky stars when a woman proclaiming to be his number one fan rescues him from the aftermath of a terrible car accident and whisks him off to her remote cabin to nurse him back to health. However, he soon finds that not only is she cruel and mentally unstable, but she also has no intention of letting him leave.

Neil Gaiman’s 2001 dark fantasy novel won the Bram Stoker, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards all in one fell swoop, and it’s since been developed into a television series. Combining ancient mythology with Americana, the novel revolves around a man named Shadow who’s been freshly released from a stint in prison. With his life in tatters, Shadow accepts a job from a stranger who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. Eventually, Shadow finds himself engaged in a battle for the soul of America in this “original, engrossing, and endlessly inventive” novel (George R. R. Martin).
The Silence of the Lambs
There are plenty of scary literary villains out there, but Hannibal Lecter takes the cake. Thomas Harris introduced the cannibalistic serial killer in this Bram Stoker Award-winning series debut, which was the basis for the multiple Academy Award-winning film. FBI trainee Clarice Starling interviews the incarcerated Hannibal Lecter to gain psychological insight into Buffalo Bill, another serial killer who has successfully evaded capture thus far.

Set against the urban decay of 1980s Cleveland, teenager Phoebe Shaw is shocked and horrified by the transformations taking place in her neighborhood.

A timely read that speaks to women’s fears of being stripped of their own bodily autonomy, Gwendolyn Kiste’s debut novel is truly unforgettable.
A Head Full of Ghosts
Paul Tremblay’s 2015 novel perfectly deconstructs numerous horror tropes, from exorcism to the Final Girl to reality TV exploitation of disturbed families. Eight-year-old Merry’s life was turned upside down when her teenage sister began to exhibit signs of being either mentally ill or demonically possessed. As the now 23-year-old Merry looks back on her strange childhood and divulges her story to a writer, the line between reality and fantasy begins to blur once more.

The accountant and I went to get the first of our chickens today! I was so excited I could barely contain myself. The people down at the co-op were super friendly and helpful. I came home with three New Hampshire Reds. Everything I read says they are large birds (7-8 pounds), they lay about an egg a day each, very friendly, strong and feather out quickly. If you want they are good for meat too. I am not sure about that part so we are sticking to eggs for now.
This little girl is my favorite, and I think the alpha. She already comes to my hand and the other two follow her around. She looks like a Gertrude to me...
The little one in this picture is fiesty for her size, my little yorkie is already scared of her. I am naming the little one Ophelia.
The third one is Phyllis.
I love listening to them chirp. I am excited for them to feather out and then live out in their coop in our soon to be newly fenced backyard! I look forward to sharing their progress with you.

OPINION – There’s simply no question that exercise is beneficial to health. Regular exercise supports heart function, lowers blood pressure, combats diabetes, and improves mental well-being, among myriad other benefits. That’s why it’s important that we as a society make sure regular exercise and physical fitness is accessible to all.
Unfortunately, not everyone lives in a place where it’s safe to walk, run or bike, and not everyone can afford a gym membership as an alternative to outdoor exercise. As a result, 40 percent of California adults making $50,000 or less do not get the recommended amount of exercise and only 26 percent of children from families making less than $25,000 a year participate in a healthy level of physical activity. In addition, children are no longer getting the exercise they need while at school.
Proactive ways to improve the physical and mental well-being of Californians are desperately needed. Currently, 40 percent of California adults report having at least one of five chronic health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, serious psychological distress, or asthma. And according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, in 2021 more than 32 percent of adults report symptoms of anxiety or depression. A recent California Endowment survey found it’s even worse for young adults, with more than three-quarters reporting anxiety, more than half reporting depression, and 31 percent reporting that they have experienced suicidal thinking.
Access to a safe and consistent place to exercise can help improve the health and well-being of countless Californians. Research shows that up to 80 percent of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, and more than 30 percent of cancers could be prevented through increased exercise, eliminating tobacco, improving diet and decreasing alcohol use. And a recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that physical activity is 1.5 times more effective than leading medications in managing depression.
Access to a safe and consistent place to exercise can help improve the health and well-being of countless Californians.
To ensure equity and to help improve the physical and mental well-being of the most underserved among us, fitness professionals, health care workers and health care advocates are calling upon the legislature to pass Assembly Bill 1338 (AB 1338) – a simple and cost-effective way to help ensure a healthier, happier California. Introduced by Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Irvine), AB 1338 will cover the cost of fitness memberships for Medi-Cal beneficiaries, helping to advance health equity, improve quality of life, and save on long-term health care costs for millions of Californians.
The fitness and physical activity industry – including gyms, studios, community centers, dance studios and youth sports – provides safe locations for Californians to exercise and plays a critical role in preventive healthcare. By adding access to fitness and wellness services to the list of pre-approved Community Supports under California Advancing and Improving Medi-Cal (CalAIM) and encouraging medical providers to educate patients about the benefits of exercise, AB 1338 will create access to proactive, cost-effective alternatives to traditional medical services, help decrease human suffering, and over the long term reduce the need for a range of covered Medi-Cal benefits, such as hospital care, nursing facility care and emergency department use.
In addition to improving the health of Californians through access to fitness, AB 1338 will help lower long-term health costs in the state. Currently, 42% of total state health care costs are spent treating chronic conditions, with an estimated $141 billion in direct costs spent on heart disease, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, depression and asthma. As a result of access to exercise, just a 1 percent reduction in weight, blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol risk factors would reduce annual medical costs by $83 to $103 per person enrolled in Medi-Cal, resulting in a potential health care cost savings in the state of up to $135 million per year.
Providing access to exercise to the most underserved among us through passage of AB 1338 will help improve their physical and mental well-being and lower health care costs for the long term. It will reduce chronic illness suffered by so many. And it will help countless Californians create lifelong habits that will improve their lives and the lives of their children. We urge the legislature to pass AB 1338 for a healthier California.

Studying Ringed Seals in Winter
with the Help of Detection Dogs
Ringed seals live a secretive life beneath the snow-covered landscape of Prudhoe Bay in winter. They catch fish and invertebrate prey in frigid Arctic Ocean waters and haul out to rest in icy lairs hidden beneath snow drifts. They create and maintain breathing holes and access holes – vertical watery tunnels through the sea ice as much as two meters thick – allowing them to use habitat both on and under sea ice during the winter.
Wildlife researchers are documenting how these ... Ringed Seals Article Continued

Downy and Hairy woodpeckers are among my favorite visitors to the bird feeder.

I say grown nestling, because for a teenager, that bird was hefty; the parents – both a female and male would rotate roles – would be barely clinging to the bird feeder while frantically feeding a voraciously ...

Radical Pagans threaten Clash of the Titans filmmakers
Posted by oldancestor on April 23, 2010
ARE PAGANS DRINKING TOO MUCH ZEUS JUICE?
By Eric J Baker
ATHENS – A radical Pagan group calling itself The Twelve Labors posted a warning on its website yesterday for Warner Brothers Studios and the filmmakers behind the current box office hit, Clash of the Titans.
According to the site, Pagans are offended at the depiction of the underworld god Hades in the film, who is shown to be violent and vindictive.
“Hades is not Satan,” says the website in an open-letter format to Warner Brothers. “He’s an unhappily married god with the [expletive deleted] job of managing the underworld. He’s sort of a sitcom character.”
A photo on the website shows the ruins of an ancient Greek temple over a caption that reads, “This will be you!”
Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Dr. Joyce Brothers, co-founders of Warner Brothers Studios, issued a joint response that was anything but contrite:
“We made a Greek mythology movie. And we wish to go on making Greek mythology movies until your heads spin and you seethe with such fury that your hearts explode and your souls whither, but not before you suffer the torment of ten-thousand screaming deaths.”
Two Clash sequels are already in the works, Another Clash of the Titans and Harold and Kumar go to Sparta.
“We don’t like the word ‘mythology,’” says mainstream Pagan Pinky Middleton of Charon’s Crossing, Iowa. “But other than that, people need to chill. I think these radicals are a bit, you know, radical.”
Middleton is one of many Roman Pagans who are generally viewed as more tolerant than their Greek counterparts. Rather than issue a death threat when offended, Romans traditionally demand the offending party go to the ends of the Earth to find and retrieve a golden ram’s fleece. This practice has largely fallen by the wayside in recent years, as golden rams are endangered and would-be hunters risk a poaching conviction, which can carry a fine of $100,000 dollars and five years in prison.
“The gods are angry,” counters television personality, talent extraordinaire, and radical Greek Pagan Paula Abdul. “Release the Kraken!”
A call to Mount Olympus seeking information about Krakens was not returned.
This latest incident follows a string of recent religious controversies, including radical Muslims threatening South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone earlier this week, radical Christians threatening Jews during the Spanish Inquisition, and radical atheists threatening courthouse plaques.

Big business to America Donald J. Trump is known for many things. Only time will tell whether his lasting legacy is a wall or a crater, but in terms of the people who live today, everyone knows what Trump is about. One of his most notable attributes, of course, is his love of conspiracy theories. Trump has sparked many conspiracies over the years that you may already be familiar with and with which Rafael Cruz murdered JFK. So we're going to look at some that have disappeared from public memory.
See also: 10 Mind Boggling Presidential Conspiracy Theories
10 Fox Sheikh
Trump had a certain will-she / not-she relationship with Saudi Arabia and criticized the nation before his Choice and increasing commitment afterwards. His relationship with Megyn Kelly is less ambiguous and although they have officially made peace, most people will remember them as sworn enemies.
Maybe that's why Megyn appeared in a conspiracy that Trump tweeted in January 2016. The grainy photo shows Megyn Kelly next to a woman in a niqab and a man in a keffiyeh. The accompanying text says that this is Prince Al-Waleed of Saudi Arabia with his sister and that the Prince is a co-owner of Fox News. It is true that the prince owned 5.5% of Fox News' parent company (he sold it in 2017), but the picture is an obvious fake that would likely make your Photoshop teacher more trouble.
9 Access Denied
With a man with as much controversy as Donald Trump, keeping an eye on everyone can be difficult. Few will remember when he was fined $ 2 million for donating funds to his campaign or when he doubled Mar-a-Lago fees after serving as president. But few will ever forget the infamous Access Hollywood band, which is mentioned as one of the few times that Trump actually apologized for something. Except apparently Donald Trump himself.
Although Trump apologized almost immediately for what he said on the tape, he later questioned its authenticity twice in one day. According to the New York Times, Trump expressed doubts that the voice heard on the tape is actually his, less than a year after he admitted it was. He made these allegations to a senator before repeating them to an adviser a few months later. However, about a year after the denial story was published, Trump again reversed his opinion, claiming the comments were "secretly in a trailer" and the tape had been released illegally.
8 Mourning for Joe
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are another example of Trump's willingness to end and change his relationship. The then candidate Trump had spoken about Morning Joe countless times in the 2016 election campaign until he had a sudden argument with the couple a few months before the election. After his victory, the insults continued to fly, eventually driving Joe out of the Republican Party.
But it wasn't until late 2017 that Trump really targeted Scarborough and tweeted, "And will they end low ratings, Joe Scarborough, based on the" unsolved mystery "that occurred in Florida years ago?" Investigate! ".
Trump referred to an incident in 2001 when Scarborough worked as a Republican congressman. On July 19, 28-year-old intern Lori Klausutis was found dead behind her desk in Scarborough's Florida office by two visitors. An autopsy confirmed that Lori lost consciousness after an underlying, undiagnosed state of health and, after falling, broke her skull against the desk, despite the relatively straightforward nature of her death and the complete absence of suspicious circumstances, did not stop Trump or his followers to use her death as a weapon against his critics.
7 Hurricane Maria Death Toll
In September 2017, Hurricane Maria, an Atlantic Category 5 hurricane, hit Dominica, St. Croix, and Puerto Rico Speeds up to 175 mph and was the worst natural disaster in the history that struck the islands. The total death toll was estimated at 3,057.
The Puerto Rico government originally claimed that only 64 people had died as a result of the hurricane, a number that was quickly controversial. A New York Times investigation found that more than 1,000 people died as a result of the storm. After a lawsuit forced the government to disclose its statistical data, the number was estimated to be around 1,427 until a final study by George Washington University found 2,975, which is now the official death toll for Puerto Rico.
Trump took the time to express his doubts about the official numbers by finding that there were "between 6 and 18 deaths" when he left, claiming, "Then, a long time later, they really started reporting large numbers, like 3000 … This was done by the Democrats to make me look as bad as possible. “
The reason why later reports came to much higher numbers is not only that their methodology was more accurate, but also because they counted those who, after the hurricane, had consequences of related problems such as infection, lack of clean water died. and poor health care. Even though Trump was right (or not far from it) that the original estimate was much lower, he never provided evidence that the numbers below are wrong, although there is plenty of evidence that they are real.
6 Hot Air Windmills
During his campaign and presidency, Trump was an important supporter of the coal industry. Before his victory, he promised to save the industry and "bring back coal". He promised to withdraw a number of measures from the Obama era since taking over the Oval Office. Although Trump's tactic hasn't really affected coal consumption, he's still trying everything to convince people to switch from renewable energies to fossil fuels, including some pretty odd claims about windmills.
During the spring lunch of the National Republican Congress Committee, President Trump initially claimed that windmills near your home could devalue your property by up to 75%. This is a pretty dramatic claim in itself, although numerous studies have found "no statistical evidence" to support it. But this claim is usually overshadowed by the one that followed seconds later when Trump said, "And they say the noise causes cancer, tell me this, okay?" Needless to say, this claim was made up simply. Nobody has ever thought that windmills cause cancer, research shows that it doesn't, and nobody believes it could. That's all.
5 ISIS Family Plan
Another of Trump's signature promises was to curb the influx of migrants to the United States. Although this promise primarily affected Mexican immigrants, he repeatedly expressed displeasure at the number of refugees from the Middle East, particularly from Syria. At some point, Trump even claimed that Hillary was preparing to accept 650 million refugees in a week, but this claim is so ridiculous that we cannot in good conscience classify it as a "conspiracy theory".
Instead, we have a theory that is just ridiculous enough. When Trump spoke to a crowd in Mesa, Arizona in late 2015, he asked how many migrants could afford phones: “Where do they get cell phones from? Who pays their monthly bills? “He went on to describe how a friend said that these phones are only riddled with ISIS flags and videos of beheadings. He repeated these claims a few months later when he appeared on the National Border Patrol Council's Green Line Radio.
What Trump didn't understand is that being poor is not the same thing as being a refugee. While Syria's economy has certainly seen better times, it's not a country where people live in mud huts or wonder how the moon stays up. It is a normal country that has been hit by war for most of the past decade. So if you see a refugee on a phone, they probably found it more convenient and useful than taking their 65-inch TV with them.
4 Mass Strike
With a population of 42 million and an area the size of Texas, Ukraine is far from a small country but has never been a major player on the world stage. Even so, the country was often involved in Donald Trump's controversy. Ukraine is obviously at the center of the impeachment investigation, but its involvement can be traced back to the time Trump first received the Republican nomination and changed the party's position in Ukraine. While it is not uncommon for the candidate to change platforms, Trump's only change was that instead of providing "lethal defense weapons" to help Ukrainians fight the Russian armed forces, the United States would provide "adequate aid."
Soon after the issue of Russian interference became a daily topic of discussion, Trump's team advocated an alternative theory: the Ukrainians interfered in favor of Hillary. However, this is primarily due to the fact that Trump's campaign manager had received $ 13 million from pro-Russian Ukrainians, a crime for which he was later sentenced to seven years in prison. The theory then turned into a theory that the Ukrainians were behind the DNC hack, but not to Hillary's advantage. Finally, the theory was raised that the Ukrainian cyber security company Crowdstrike hacked the server and insulted the Russians. According to this theory, you may even still have the server in your possession.
Back on planet Earth, the US-based, owner-managed cybersecurity company Crowdstrike (co-founded by Russia-born Dmitri Alperovitch) may not have the server because it was cloud-based. That may explain why so many Republicans were so vocal that Trump believed this theory, so upset that the left tried to discredit him this way, and embarrassed when he called Fox and Friends to clarify that he it actually does believe it.
3 FEMA warehouse
Trump's most famous conspiracy theory will likely always be the Birther theory, but that's far from the only Obama-based theory he supports. Contrary to the other entries in this list, Trump has never directly expressed this theory. Rather, he was accused of using dog whistles to address a small but lively group of his followers.
You may recall that Trump said repeatedly before the election day that the election had been rigged. While most people saw this as a preventative explanation for Trump's loss of election, others think he was referring to a conspiracy theory that was very popular in right-wing circles at the time: President Obama used FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to build concentration camps where he locked up his dissenters and would annul the upcoming elections and make him king. This theory was supported by the larger-than-life characters Alex Jones and Glenn Beck, who later said he didn't think they existed, and then changed his mind again.
Of course, as we all know, none of this has ever happened. Trump won the presidency and used FEMA funds to fund illegal detention facilities for foreigners.
2 High Hillary
It goes without saying that Hillary Clinton is one of the most common targets of Trump's conspiracy theories. From missing emails to Uranium One to Pizzagate and the Deep State, Trump has accused Hillary of being involved in pretty much all the bad things that have ever happened at one time or another. Most of his allegations against Hillary generally stem from her files or her connections to other people. But as we all know by now, Trump has also occasionally adopted the famous "rubber / glue" complaint technique, loved by leftists and conservatives alike: blame others for whatever you were accused of.
When the second debate ended, viewers were intrigued by Trump's frequent sniffing at both encounters, leading to speculation that he was using cocaine. The ever-watchful Republican candidate, however, quickly pointed out that it was actually Hillary who took drugs.
At a rally in New Hampshire shortly after the second debate, Trump said, "We should do a drug test first because I don't know what's going on with her. But at the beginning of her last debate – at the beginning she was very excited, and in the end she said, 'Oh, bring me down.' # She could barely get to her car. '
Unlike some other, more serious theories, Hillary just made fun of it and around to be honest, we're pretty sure Trump did it too.
1 False Interest
When it comes to Trump's theories about Obama, they are all loosely linked by an overarching theme whether it's the media, the establishment or the deep state, Trump has repeatedly reaffirmed his belief that Obama has been mollycoddled and has had an easy ride to make him look good as a president.
A great example of this was when Trump d he accused the Federal Reserve of keeping interest rates low so that the economy would boom when Obama left but soon crashed. In an interview with CNBC, Trump said, "Any increase will be a very, very small increase because they want to keep the market going, so Obama goes out and lets the newcomer … raise interest rates … and watch what happens in the stock Market ”
During the campaign, Trump had said that low interest rates hurt Americans who had saved responsibly and called for an increase. Since taking office, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times, which he firmly opposed. Even so, the stock market hasn't imploded and the economy hasn't collapsed, making it appear that the Federal Reserve has never teamed up with Obama. Unless, of course, they also conspire with Trump.
