OK,, now look at this Headline and tell me How Hillary Won California.

Quote:Poll: 74 Percent of Californians Want to End Sanctuary Cities

Quote:The vast majority of residents living in California would like to see sanctuary cities barred, a state home to multiple jurisdictions which refuse to abide by federal immigration laws.

Roughly 74 percent of California residents want to see an end to sanctuary city policies, according to a poll by UC Berkeley.

The issue to end sanctuary cities in the state crosses racial and party lines, with 65 percent of Hispanics registering their agreement, while 70 percent of independents, 82 percent of Republicans, and 73 percent of Democrats feel the same.
During President Donald Trump’s term, sanctuary cities could see a cut in federal funding and pushback from the Department of Justice under likely Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

This is Just So AWESOME! 

Quote:'¡No, no puede!': New White House begins with English-only website as Team Trump breaks with Obama by nixing all Spanish-language content

Quote:Donald Trump will not be 'El Presidente,' judging from the website his White House launched on Friday.
The new whitehouse.gov, unlike the online home of the Obama administration, has no Spanish-language content.

Visiting the old White House website address for content 'en Español' brings Web surfers to an error page.
The newly minted president made a point during the Republican primary season of his preference for immigrants to learn English, mocking former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish on the campaign trail.

'We have a country where to assimilate, you have to speak English,' Trump declared during a September 2015 debate.


'We have to have assimilation to have a country,' Trump added. 'We have to have assimilation. ... This is a country where we speak English, not Spanish.' 


Then-candidate Trump told ABC News weeks earlier that 'while we're in this nation, we should be speaking English.'

This is just another example of how the media uses headlines to twist the truth.  I know we've covered this in past threads, but I'll keep on making threads and exposing them for what they are for as long as they keep doing it!    


The Headline reads, Republican Legislators Propose a Series of Bills That Would Criminalize Peaceful Protests.




Now, if you actually bother to look at the article, it states, "According to The Intercept, several proposals have been introduced by Republican legislators over the past few weeks specifically targeting protests that block or obstruct traffic—including a North Dakota bill that would allow motorists to hit and kill protesters obstructing the highway "as long as [the] driver does so accidentally."

Yes, I agree with that. If they play in the streets, they might get killed by a car; it happens.  And, I'll also add that if I ever come across them blocking my path, I'll be one that does it!

And, in the first paragraph of this article they write, "While most of the world is still buzzing with positive energy from the Women's Marches on Saturday, several Republican legislators have been working hard to potentially make future peaceful protests a punishable offense."

My attention here is with them saying the woman's march is "buzzing with positive energy".  NOT TRUE, unless you are one of the misinformed women that agree with them.  (If so, I'm working on educating you here at RN.)   I've seen plenty of posts that disagree with the women's marches. Here is just one of them:



But, back to the topic at hand, here is another statement in this article:

Quote:Another bill in Minnesota would make obstructing a highway a "gross misdemeanor" punishable by a hefty fine of $3,000 and up to a year in jail, while a separate piece of legislature would make "obstructing the legal process" punishable by an even heftier fine of up to $10,000 plus "imprisonment of not less than 12 months." Similar bills designed to criminalize and discourage protests have also been proposed in Washington, Iowa, and Michigan.

As The Intercept points out, this "trend" appears to be a not-so-subtle workaround to the First Amendment, which states, "Congress shall make no law respecting...the right of the people peaceably to assemble." Furthermore, the bills seem to be in response to recent protests organized by Black Lives Matter and the activists fighting construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline—which is horrifying for a multitude of reasons, most notably the continued criminalization of black and brown people.

The very specific targeting becomes even more concerning when combined with what Slate reports is a "bracing message implicitly directed to supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement" from the Trump administration.

Sometimes, I just have to shake my head and laugh at how ridiculous some people are.  

ETA: (Sorry, for changing alphabet colors.  It changed to where you couldn't see it on the white screen when I highlighted the quotes.  Is blue okay?
Actually, I think RED, White, and Blue are very fitting for this post.       )

If this doesn't make you laugh, you're a robot.    

What if............ Captain Kirk met Ashley Judd?

VIDEO: Passengers cheer as woman berating Trump supporter is kicked off plane

Quote:An elderly woman demanded a Donald Trump supporter seated next to her be moved, but she quickly found out that’s not how the world works.

Scott Koteskey, in a window seat, posted video on Saturday showing a woman in the middle seat complaining about him to airline personnel.

According to Kotesky:
Just had the craziest experience ever on an airplane:
I’m boarding my flight from Baltimore to Seattle and approach my seat. I had an upgraded seat that I paid a little extra for because of the long 6 hour flight. As I approach my row I smile and motion to the husband and wife sitting in the aisle and middle seat that Imy seat was next to the window. I put my backpack in the overhead and the wife with a very stern voice says to me:
“Did you come here to cheer or to protest?”
“I came here to celebrate democracy ma’am”
… I knew this was going to be a long flight at this point. She then proceeded with: (somewhat paraphrased as my memory allows)
Her: “You put a crazed man in charge of the nuclear codes! You should be ashamed!”
Me: ‘Well we’re all entitled to our opinions here ma’am.”
Her: “And I’m entitled to get drunk and puke in your lap! I’m going to throw up right in your lap! You make me sick! Don’t talk to me! Don’t look at me! Don’t you dare even put your arm on that rest. You disgust me! You should be ashamed of yourself! You put a maniac’s finger on the button” (assuming she’s means nukes). You are a bigot. You should get off this plane!”
Me: “ma’am, by definition, bigotry is disparaging someone prior to knowing them simply by their beliefs and opinions. Thank you for being the very thing you preach against.”
Kotesky told a flight attendant on the Seattle-bound plane that the woman called him names and insulted him.”Is there going to be a problem?” the flight attendant sternly asked the woman.
“I told you I would like him to change seats with somebody…” the woman said, before the flight attendant cut her off, “Well, you don’t have that right.”
The woman then began to berate the Trump supporter.
“You pretend you have the moral high ground but you put that man’s finger on the nuclear button. That man doesn’t believe in climate change,” she said, using air quotes for dramatic effect.
As a gate attendant attempted to intervene, she was unrelenting.
“Do you believe in gravity? Because did you know gravity is just a theory?”

“Will you grab your belongings and come with me?” the attendant asked her.
She then attempted to use her recently-deceased mother-in-law for why she should remain on the plane and be unaccountable for her behavior.
Refusing to leave the plane, she said, “I paid for this seat and I’m sitting here. He’s in my space.”
As the attendant patiently and repeatedly asked the woman to exit the plane, she said, “I’m going home now. We had to be here. My mother-in-law died.”
The woman and the man sitting next to her attempted to negotiate with the attendant, trying to remain on the plane.
“Fine, I’ll be quiet.”
“I’m not going to allow that,” he responded, before informing the woman the captain wanted her off the plane.
Another video, taken from across the aisle, showed the woman sneering at the Trump supporter, then at passengers behind her before police ordered her off the plane.

Passengers cheered as she carried her belongings and exited the aircraft.

“So I get a whole row to myself?” asked the other passengers

I don't know how you feel about David Icke, but here is a brand new video just released today, and he brings out some interesting points.  I actually considered most of his talks to be a bit more "out there" than what I believe, but his topic on "Who Built the Moon" matches up with a lot of what many others claim.

Literally...

Quote:“A truck driver has lost his marbles,” he said. “Literally, 38,000 pounds of them on I-465 SB at the 41mm.”

It is not clear what the massive cargo of marbles were for or where they were being transported. But the spillage reportedly led to traffic congestion in the area.

President Obama Grants 330 Commutations in Historic Final Act.




'President Obama capped an extraordinary week in clemency activity Thursday when
he shortened the prison sentences of 330 drug offenders, the largest single batch of
White House commutations in history.

The announcement, less than 24 hours before he leaves office, came two days after
Obama handed out 209 commutations and 64 pardons, part of his unprecedented
effort to show mercy to drug offenders serving epic prison terms.

Obama has now commuted the sentences of 1,715 people, more than any of his
predecessors.

"The President set out to reinvigorate clemency, and he has done just that," White
House Chief Counsel Neil Eggleston said in a statement.

But, for advocates, there is a more somber side to Obama's initiative: the thousands
of inmates whose petitions were denied, the thousands who are still waiting for a
decision, and the relatively small number of pardon applications he approved.
The future of his project remains in doubt under Donald Trump.


The clemency push came late in Obama's presidency, as he granted just a few dozen
in the first six years. Then, in 2014, after becoming more actively supportive of criminal
justice reform, he put out a call for applications from nonviolent offenders who were
sentenced to prison before the easing of notoriously harsh mandatory minimum laws
in 2010.

That triggered a deluge of petitions. Obama solicited help from the nation's bar and
from advocacy organizations, but the program struggled through a backlog.
Lawyers in the Justice Department reportedly worked around the clock in recent
months to get through the stack...'

With all the Ooh-Aah of the US inauguration, Europe's problems with Extremism
have taken a back-seat. But...

Man suspected of planning Vienna bomb attack arrested.

'A man suspected of planning a bomb attack in Vienna has been arrested by
special forces, Austrian media has reported.



The Austrian authorities had been warned about a possible attack by foreign
intelligence services, a Vienna police spokesman, Thomas Keiblinger, told
news agency APA.

He said: "There were growing indications of a planned attack in the capital
in the past few days."

The suspect was detained at an apartment in Vienna at around 5pm UK time,
Mr Keiblinger said. He added: "The man has been in custody... There are still
lots of things to clear up."

The number of officers on the streets has been increased, while police have also
warned people to be alert and tell them if they see any suspicious items.
Police refused to comment on a report from the Kronen-Zeitung newspaper that
the suspect had built explosives in Germany.

The newspaper also claimed the man belonged to an Islamist group which
originating in Albania, and which held sympathies with Islamic State.

Without specifying its sources, another Austrian newspaper, Krone, said a group
of radical Islamists had been planning an attack in the Austrian capital between
15 and 30 January.

Like Kronen-Zeitung, it also said there was a link to Albania, adding that the
suspect had apparently been monitored by special forces since arriving in
Austria earlier on Friday...'
