We all know it's coming. False Flag op, perhaps. Perhaps not. Happen it will. Within the year (2017) so to be able to blame it on Obama (sound familiar?)....
Lot of attractive properties on the map. I'd be looking for recently over insured properties.......
Olive Garden is 'molto bene' with diners and investors
http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/20/investing/darden-restaurants-olive-garden-earnings/index.html .
I did not have my traditional meal there this year. My parents always went there around Christmas as to meet with old friends. A dwindling number and by the time my Mom passed, it was mher, an old friend, iris and her caregiver son A. R., Someone I knew since the fifties but i only saw at the annual Olive Garden visit. Even after my parents passed, I went once during the holidays. This year I can only eat thin soups so I didn't go. Even by myself, it was like dining with ghosts from years passed. People I knew well, my parents friends were very into my life though they were my parents friends, and it was great to put them in my thoughts again. I'll miss that.
I live in CA and have been researching cannabis treatments for a while and really got after it over the past few days. ILooked into this company. http://constancetherapeutics.com It is pretty expensive, but very professional.
I tried to find an oncologist in my system (Molina MediCal) and there were none. I expanded to 100 miles, and nothing. I did get hooked up with an advocate who is going to find something. But that might means weeks and I could do a cannibustreatment in the meantime.
Anyone know some oil recipes? Companies that are less money (CBD is okay, but I really prefer whole plant) or even recommend some?
😚 This song is very prescient though it first appeared in 1981. Written by John Barlow, essentially about Dick Cheney, when both were involved in Wyoming Republican politics. Besides writing most of Bob Weir's lyrics, Barlow also founded The Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Picture a bright blue ball
Just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky
Brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid, we may lay our home to waste
There's a fear down here we can't forget
Hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls
And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls
By and by again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
It's you and me, you and me
Click, flash blade in ghetto night
Rudie's looking for a fight
Rat cat alley roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that jones
And the politician's throwing stones
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price
Money green or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance, and shake their bones
And the politician's throwing stones
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink, yeah
History's page, it is thusly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own. On our own. On our own.
If the game is lost then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shinning ball of blue we can call our home
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians, throwing stones
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Ashes to ashes, all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing "black goes south and white comes north"
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing "I got mine and you got yours"
And the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
And the radical he rant and rage
Singing "someone got to turn the page"
And the rich man in his summer home,
Singing "Just leave well enough alone"
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids they dance they shake their bones
Cause its all too clear we're on our own
Sing ashes to ashes, all fall down
Ashes to ashes, all fall down
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities
Ashes to Ashes, all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) [Repeat: x4]
Wo, fall down, (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)
Wo, fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, Ashes all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)
Wo, fall down, (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)
Wo, fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, Ashes all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) [Repeat: x3]
Time For Democrats To Stop Catering To The Professional Class
“What are you gonna do, go to the Republicans?”
18 hours ago
Jason Linkins Eat The Press Editor, The Huffington Post
The emerging debate about what Democrats have to do in the wake of their disastrous 2016 election has primarily focused on what part of their coalition should now receive the most attention.
The popular way that professional-class pundits have framed the choice is one between “populism” and “identity politics” ― either Democrats go all-in appealing to the working class, or stick with a coalition made up of historically disenfranchised minority communities.
Someone is going to get the party’s favor, and someone else is going to be told, “Well, you have nowhere else to go.” So who should get the shaft? That’s easy. It should be the very people who have engendered this debate in the first place: the professional class.
Why can’t the Democratic Party tell their most affluent backers that the time has come for them to cater to someone else? On this week’s podcast, we asked Thomas Frank ― the author of Listen, Liberal ― about this idea.
The new. Let's find some young people that don't have decades of baggage, Govt service, and let's promote young people to helm the party. That is what Obama was, fresh, youthful with new ideas.
Heard three times today..... Yep, ratchet up the rhetoric. Then a "Reichstag event" close enough after inauguration day so as to blame Obama for security lapses, then war on China.
Fact check: There are, actually, such things as facts.
12/01/2016 05:40 pm ET
President-elect Donald Trump likes to put forward lies and outlandish conspiracy theories as though they were statements of fact.
One of his most loyal surrogates offered a puzzling defense of this on Thursday, arguing that even Trump’s most pernicious statements aren’t really lies, because facts themselves no longer exist.
“One thing that’s been interesting this entire campaign season to watch is that people that say facts are facts. They’re not really facts,” Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes said on “The Diane Rehm Show” on NPR. “It’s kind of like looking at ratings or looking at a glass of half-full water. Everybody has a way of interpreting them to be the truth or not true. There’s no such thing, unfortunately, anymore as facts.”
Hughes, a political commentator and former talk radio producer, was responding to criticism of Trump’s recent claim that millions of people voted illegally in November’s presidential election. Trump provided no evidence to support this assertion, and there’s no sign that any such evidence actually exists.
