Bet you've not heard of THIS Republican Pres. candidate for the 2016 race.
Michael Bickelmeyer boasts over 40 years on work experience in the private sector in business, commerce, and industry. His educational credentials include an Associate of Arts degree from Cuyahoga Community College, a Bachelor of Science degree in General Business Administration from David N. Myers College, and as recently as 2013, a Master of Management degree from the University of Phoenix Online.
Bickelmeyer is something of a dreamer, and has formulated some creative inventions that are interesting, to say the least. He is particularly proud of three such ideas, which he advocates as important Federal Projects, and for which he is in the process of securing patents.
The first is a square shaped airport with steam-heated runways and an industrial facility at the center. The industrial structure would be used for recycling, die casting, and manufacturing.
His second proposal is an independent industrial recycling plant utilizing five high-volume furnaces, which would be used for the recycling of a variety of materials including glass, plastic, and steel. Crucially to Bickelmeyer's platform, both of these facilities would be powered strictly via clean energy generation, producing no carbon emissions and thus no contribution to global warming.
The third of Bickelmeyer's concepts is arguably the most noteworthy. In what he calls a gift for children, Bickelmeyer proposes an orbital weapons platform that would function by the collection of solar radiation, which would then be magnified and directed to the surface as a lethal beam. He claims that this weapon could potentially be as precise as to eliminate a single personal target, or as broad as to effect entire countries. Bickelmeyer advocates the use of this platform against terrorism and in pursuit of the war on drugs. He stresses that, because this is not a nuclear weapon, there is no danger of radioactive fallout.
Aside from his eccentricity and environmental concerns, Bickelmeyer opposes legalization of marijuana, arguing that we already have enough people with thinking problems in this country. He has stated that, in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the tragic passing of his father due to cancer, he now views former President George W Bush as his new Father. .
Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina slams starving migrants as 'mentally sick'
Images of distressed Rohingya and Bangladeshi boat people have prompted outrage across the world as regional countries prepare to attend a Thailand-hosted 17-nation summit on Friday to discuss what has become a humanitarian crisis across the Bay of Bengal and in South-East Asian waters.
Up to 6000 people could still be adrift in boats after Indonesia and Malaysia last week reversed policies to push boats back out to sea.
Malaysia admitted on Sunday it had found a series of mass graves in a remote area at its border with Thailand that are believed to contain hundreds of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshis, despite earlier denials any existed.
An estimated 25,000 Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants and asylum-seekers fled Myanmar and Bangladesh in the first three months of this year, part of the largest movement of people across south-east Asia since the fall of southern Vietnam 40 years ago.

GM: That Car You Bought? We’re Really The Ones Who Own It.
At least, thats what an attorney for GM said at a hearing this week, Autoblog reports. Specifically, attorney Harry Lightsey said, It is [GMs] position the software in the vehicle is licensed by the owner of the vehicle.
GMs claim is all about copyright and software code, and its the same claim John Deere is making about their tractors. The TL;DR version of the argument goes something like this:
Cars work because software tells all the parts how to operate
The software that tells all the parts to operate is customized code
That code is subject to copyright
GM owns the copyright on that code and that software
A modern car cannot run without that software; it is integral to all systems
Therefore, the purchase or use of that car is a licensing agreement
And since it is subject to a licensing agreement, GM is the owner and can allow/disallow certain uses or access.

I love this line from the article:
North Korea publicly executed defense chief after he was seen falling asleep during military event.
This is from Breaking news earlier today..
the takeaway is ..........
He slept.
We have officials in this country who have repeatedly lied, embezzled, covered up, conspired, colluded, been responsible for an incredible number of deaths...
with no consequences.
