China demolished Christian church

China demolished a large church in coastal Wenzhou. Because the building was larger than permitted?? If that were true authorities would have stopped construction at an early stage. They waited until it had been finished and being used.

The Communist government feels threatened by people participating in churches! And this was one of the government-approved "Three Self Patriotic Movement" churches.

Only politics - response to Benghazi attack

The Obama administration's response days after the attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Stevens was the obviously false claim that it was response to a "movie" that was not a movie. (It was 15 minutes on YouTube that few watched.) Emails were just disclosed that show that the response was all CYA, you know, hide the incriminating tracks. And they had four goals - none of them true. Susan Rice went on all the Sunday news talk shows with a story based on those four false goals.

So hedge funders can continue making millions per year

Continuing their game. That is the top priority of Wall Street mega money people.

Thomas Lifson at American Thinker says Politico gave away the game. Politico says the top priority on Wall Street is themselves. And people who differ with her politics would rather have Hillary Clinton than someone who would stir things up, like Senator Ted Cruz. Because their top priority is being able to manipulate markets and pile on more wealth.

Lifson

If you ever wondered what the real political issue of the day is when it comes to presidential politics, an article in Politico gives you the answer. Wall Street Big Money wants a presidential candidate who will allow the financial games enabling hedge fund billionaires, investment banks, and other financial engineering specialists to continue their merry ways. This group dominates the top one percent of the top once percent of income earners – the people who have expanded their share of national income, while the rest of the one percent (and the rest of us) get to divvy up the rest.

Of course, the Politico story doesn’t say that outright, but you can read between the lines.

In other words the top 1% of the top 1%. Is Hillary opposed to income inequality? She says so. But she certainly is happy to have the support of their billions.

John Kerry says Israel is appartheid state

John Kerry accused Israel of being an “apartheid state” on Friday. Uh… He knows he is saying that Israel cuts a racial group out of its society; that’s what South Africa did as a purposeful policy. That that group has diminished, or no, rights. They cannot vote or hold office, etc. Daily Beast

He is wrong. His ignorance is unbelievable. Israel allows Arabs to be full-fledged citizens. There are Arab members of the Knesset. 

John F Kerry just proved that he is unhinged. He will run his limousine over anyone who gets between him and his Nobel Peace Prize. He has already made a mess and is making it worse. It’s time for him to just move on.

Anti-speech vandalism at University of Washington

A pro-life display was vandalized at the University of Washington on Wednesday, April 16.

Students for Life of American

This morning, Wednesday April 16th, a pro-life “Cemetery of the Innocents” was torn down and thrown in the trash at the University of Washington. Although the event was approved at the very last minute by the school administration, students set-up the flags in their approved, high-traffic area to memorialize the victims of abortion. The pro-life group on campus, “Students for Human Life” hosted the display.

After leaving the display for a brief period of time the students came back to the whole display completely missing – most flags and other display materials thrown in the trash can.

Instead of giving up, the students went through the trash can, salvaged what they could and put up the display as soon as possible.

Although the perpetrators of this crime have yet to be identified, the group will go on with their display and turning in a report to the campus police.

Man who blew the whistle on Stalin's killings in Ukraine

Welshman Gareth Jones got off a train in the hinterland and saw first-hand the starvation of 1932-33 in Ukraine. Stalin intentionally starved the peasants of Ukraine because they raised their own food and expected some independence. He couldn’t allow anyone to be not under his thumb, so he killed them. Farmers had to hand over their production to the point they starved.

Sadly, Jones was killed in Manchuria two years later at age 30 before he wrote more than a few news articles. Most of what he found lay in the archive of his notes until a few years ago. See  GarethJones.org

There is a recent book on Jones and his work: Gareth Jones: Eyewitness to the Holodomor, by Ray Gamache. Amazon (Holomodor is what the Ukrainians call it - “to kill by hunger.”)

Other sources:

Robert Conquest - The Harvest of Sorrows, 1986. He describes how Jones’s honest reporting was trashed not only by the Soviets, but also by Western journalists in Moscow.

Sally J Taylor - Stalin’s Apologist, 1990. This is a biography of Walter Duranty of the New York Times. Duranty shamelessly defended Stalin. And he also trashed Jones; that his claims of famine were exaggeration or worse. Whatever that is.

Shamefully Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for his work for Stalin and, even after his work has been exposed as false and prostituting for mass killer Stalin, the NY Times has never renounced his work and the Pulitzer Prize has not been withdrawn.

Obama's EEOC sues company for doing the same as EEOC

Do the DC bureaucrats sit around thinking up the most absurd damage they can cause?

Obama’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) subjects applicants for employment to a credit check for most of its positions.

EEOC Chair Jacqueline A Berrien sued Kaplan Higher Ed Corp. for doing the same thing. Sued for the same practice the EEOC does!? Yes.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals threw EEOC’s case out of court by a unanimous opinion of three judges. With the following wording (enjoy!):

In this case the EEOC sued the defendants for using the same type of background check that the EEOC itself uses. The EEOC’s personnel handbook recites that “[o]verdue just debts increase temptation to commit illegal or unethical acts as a means of gaining funds to meet financial obligations.” Because of that concern, the EEOC runs credit checks on applicants for 84 of the agency’s 97 positions. The defendants (collectively, “Kaplan”) have the same concern; and thus Kaplan runs credit checks on applicants for positions that provide access to students’ financial-loan information, among other positions. For that practice, the EEOC sued Kaplan.

EEOC saw some sort of conspiracy to exclude certain racial groups by doing credit checks. Did Kaplan collect race or gender? No. They didn’t know the race or gender of the people rejected. And they used a data collection method never before seen on Earth.

Does Chair Berrien and her EEOC bureaucrats think they are above the law?

Moses Coulee

On a drive across the state on a winter day long ago I was stunned by the quiet beauty of a place I hadn’t heard of. Moses Coulee. The high plateau between the Columbia River on the west and Coulee City to the east US Highway 2 drops about 600 feet into a broad canyon, which is Moses Coulee. It’s quiet beauty was enhanced by a layer of snow and the fact that I had been living on the East Coast for three and a half years.

It is just west of Grand Coulee and one of my very favorite places, Dry Falls, which is hundreds of feet high and miles wide and was formed in about two days when the ice dam forming a lake in Montana broke at the end of the last ice age.

Ron Judd in the Seattle Times describes the physical location and some on its geography. And they talk about the people who lived there, included Chief Moses, until today. Sadly, one of the biggest draws of people to the area, Jameson Lake, has an algae bloom that prevents a good fishery. (The experts don’t know what is causing the problem.)

Great Easter painting

The Sunday morning Jesus rose from the dead his followers were frightened, confused and dismayed. When the Marys went to the tomb to place fragrances on his body, they discovered the stone rolled away and Jesus’ body missing. They ran to tell the disciples who raced to see what had happened with Peter and John leading the way.

A remarkable painting captures both the speed of Peter and John and their emotions.

“The Disciples Peter and John Running to the Sepulchre on the Morning of the Resurrection” by Eugène Burnand is in Musee de Orsay in Paris. I don’t recall seeing it before, but it certainly is remarkable.

Christianity is booming around the world

We keep hearing about the decline of Christianity, but that’s the myopic view from the US-Europe elite. What appears to be decline is instead  the relocation of Christianity, not a decline.

In Asia and Sub-Sahara Africa it is booming.

Frances Martel at Breitbart

… According to a June 2013 report by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, the countries with the largest increase in Christian populations are currently Nepal, China, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The list also includes some of Africa's poorest nations: Benin, Burika Faso, South Sudan, and Mali. No European countries made the list. 

A 2013 Pew Research Center study corroborates this shift, noting that Europe and the Americas, which once housed 93% of the world's Christians, account for only 63% today. Sub-Saharan Africa's Christian population rose from 9% to 63% in the century between 1910-2010. Meanwhile, a different Pew study puts countries like China, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia on the list of most Christian-populated nations. In Malaysia, where Islam dominates both culture and politics, Christians are making inroads at the top of their political tickets.

The statistics alone do not show this steadily louder presence of Christians in foreign lands, however. Unfortunately, conflict among those who practice native faiths and growing numbers of Christians has become a staple in some parts of the globe. A study from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity in the United States released this year suggested that about 100,000 Christians have been killed every year for the past decade as a result of their faith. ...

Nanny Bloomberg earned his way to Heaven.

Nanny Michael Bloomberg has earned his way to Heaven. If you don't think so, then ask him.

He outlawed smoking in bars, ended legal transfats in food - but only certain ones - and tried and failed to limit the size of sugary drinks. He also repealed New York City's term limits law, because the people of NYC couldn't survive w/o Him. This is one bold leader.

But his highest calling is to take away your 2d Amendment right to fire arms. And He is still on the job. If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. Criminals don't care about laws. Duh. I want to ask Him about the two Colorado state senators who were recalled from office because they got one of His gun-control laws passed. Why didn't His big money save them? My answer - because Colorado voters can make their own decisions. They don't need Him to make them, unlike the proud people of NYC.

Bloomberg announced this week that He will go straight to Heaven - no questions asked - because of His good works. He has never shown one gram of humor, so I am sure He is dead serious.

Changing health data so Obamacare can't be tracked

Obama's Census Bureau is changing how health care data is collected. To improve what? Bad guess. Let's guess why Obama's team is making this change after we discuss the results. The changes are so large that it will not be possible to compare 2013 to 2015. And - surprise - the new method will show fewer without insurance, said Brett J. O’Hara, chief of the health statistics branch.

It will not possible to compare how many are uninsured before Obamacare to after.

Would anyone guess that Obama's Census bureau is making this change this year to make President Obama look good? Would anyone NOT think so?

Washington politician Goldmark violates donation pledge

Washington State Lands Commissioner Goldmark does not meet even the standards of politicians.

As he campaigned in 2008 to become Washington state’s top logging regulator, Peter Goldmark attacked his opponent for a “reprehensible” conflict of interest — accepting money from timber harvesters while allowing them to conduct clear-cuts in landslide-prone areas.

Goldmark pledged that he was the candidate to do away with backroom deals and restore trust to the office.

“I will not accept money from the industries that I’ll be regulating,” the Democrat said at a public forum in Gig Harbor that year, during his successful campaign to unseat Republican Doug Sutherland, the incumbent commissioner of public lands.

His vow didn’t last.

Over the past three years, Goldmark has accepted about $100,000 in campaign contributions from timber and wood-product companies — 20 percent of the money he’s collected over that time, according to a Seattle Times analysis.

For example, Weyerhaeuser, which Goldmark cast as a villain during his 2008 campaign, is among the donors.

Goldmark said he didn’t sustain the pledge because he’s not influenced by the money.

If he is not influenced by money he will return the $100,000.

Anacortes sights hikes and beaches

We are very interested in Anacortes. It is beautiful and surrounded by water. There is a lot of marine activity - WS ferries to the San Juan Islands, two or more repair facilities and six marinas with lots of boats. It is a peninsula, so it has a lot of waterfront. And it has over four square miles of forests plus one very large park - Washington Park - which is also a peninsula of bedrock with lots of views on high points.

I am gathering the best resources I find in this post for future reference. Resources for a hiker, beach walker and casual bike rider - like me - who is always exploring new places.

Obama's John Kerry planting stories blaming Israel

Distinguished Secretary of State John Kerry has dreams of a Nobel Peace Prize. If only the Israelis would cave and allow their country to be cut up until its existence is on the edge. That’s what Mahmoud Abbas needs - he can’t even agree that Israel has the right to exist.

It is now reported that John Kerry’s team is planting stories to poison the process against Israel. They are in his way with their desire to stay alive. Don’t they know who he is?

Washington Free Beacon

… Multiple sources told the Washington Free Beacon that top Obama administration officials have worked for the past several days to manufacture a crisis over the reissuing of housing permits in a Jerusalem neighborhood widely acknowledged as Israeli territory.

Senior State Department officials based in Israel have sought to lay the groundwork for Israel to take the blame for talks collapsing by peddling a narrative to the Israeli press claiming that the Palestinians were outraged over Israeli settlements, the Free Beacon has learned.

These administration officials have planted several stories in Israeli and U.S. newspapers blaming Israel for the collapse of peace talks and have additionally provided reporters with anonymous quotes slamming the Israeli government.

The primary source of these multiple reports has been identified as Middle East envoy Martin Indyk and his staff, according to these insiders, who said that the secret media campaign against Israel paved the way for Secretary of State John Kerry to go before Congress on Tuesday and publicly blame Israel for tanking the talks.

“The Palestinians didn’t even know they were supposed to be abandoning negotiations because of these housing permits, which are actually old, reissued permits

John Podhoretz at NY Post

… These talks mean nothing to them; they’ve done nothing to advance negotiations in all these months. They’ve moved on nothing, agreed to nothing, made no goodwill gestures toward Israel or the United States.

And Kerry? He’s basically fine with this. He’s full of understanding. He understands it would be difficult for Mahmoud Abbas to acknowledge Israel as a “Jewish state,” so he doesn’t act as though Abbas’ refusal to do so says anything about Abbas’ viability as a negotiating partner.
Abbas’ recalcitrance should’ve told John Kerry everything he needed to know.

But Kerry doesn’t want to know. What he wants is a Nobel Peace Prize he’s never going to get.

That’s why he started this ludicrous process in the first place — to secure himself a consolation trophy after his humiliating defeat at the hands of George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential race.

Now, here is John Kerry’s monument: By whoring after a deal he couldn’t get to satisfy his own wounded pride and fulfill his own vainglorious wants, he has been exposed for all to see as a deceitful, pompous, self-righteous and vindictive fool — not to mention a world-historical two-time loser.

If you study and find fracking to be safe then hide your results

Gov. Cuomo of New York (D) had a study done on the reputed dangers of fracking. About five years ago. Then his health commissioner Nirav Shah delayed releasing the results - again and again. He said in January, 2013, that the report would be released within weeks. 65 weeks later it is still not available. Democrat & Chronicle

A leaked copy of the New York report says fracking is safe and will not contaminate ground water. New York Times (registration required)

ALBANY — The state’s Health Department found in an analysis it prepared early last year that the much-debated drilling technology known as hydrofracking could be conducted safely in New York, according to a copy obtained by The New York Times from an expert who did not believe it should be kept secret.

The analysis and other health assessments have been closely guarded by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and his administration as the governor weighs whether to approve fracking. Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, has long delayed making a decision, unnerved in part by strident opposition on his party’s left. A plan to allow a limited amount of fracking in the state’s Southern Tier along the Pennsylvania border is still seen as the most likely outcome, should the drilling process receive final approval.

The eight-page analysis is a summary of previous research by the state and others, and concludes that fracking can be done safely. It delves into the potential impact of fracking on water resources, on naturally occurring radiological material found in the ground, on air emissions and on “potential socioeconomic and quality-of-life impacts.”

Coffee drinkers get less cancer

Coffee drinkers get less liver cancer. Every little bit helps.

Researchers at University of Southern California followed people over 18 years and found that daily coffee drinkers were less likely to develop hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC, which is the most common form of liver cancer. Moderation is OK, but heavy drinkers did even better! 

Compared with people who drank no more than six cups of coffee per week, those who drank one to three cups per day were 29% less likely to  HCC. Serious coffee drinkers -- those who downed four or more cups per day -- were 42% less likely to be diagnosed with the disease.

Four cups a day. Yes!

Campus speech police shut up brave woman

Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been excluded by the campus speech police at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass, near Boston. She was a member of the Dutch Parliament for four yeas. But she, a Muslim woman, spoke out against the anti-woman policies and actions of Muslims. She was chased out of the country and came to the US. She continues to bravely speak out.

A Brandeis spokesman praised her while announcing the intended honorary degree for her was being withdrawn. 

"She is a compelling public figure and advocate for women's rights, and we respect and appreciate her work to protect and defend the rights of women and girls throughout the world," said the university's statement.

VA pay bonuses while paying millions for wrongful deaths

At the same time Obama is paying VA employees bonuses. One manager who overseas 6 deaths due to Legionnaires’ disease at the VA hospital in Pittsburgh collected a $63,000 bonus and retired.

Why are those causing the deaths not held accountable? Because the taxpayers are suckers and pay for both sides. We pay the damages while paying bonuses for those who caused the damages.

Bragging about Obamacare sign-up success - Fallon
