Quote:Top mayor sues over Trump’s sanctuary city order, calls it unconstitutional

Quote:The mayor of Seattle says that President Trump’s order against sanctuary cities is unconstitutional, and he’s suing over the city’s right to disobey federal immigration authorities.

Mayor Ed Murray announced the federal lawsuit Wednesday, saying that Trump’s executive order about defunding cities who maintain “sanctuary city” policies is unlawful.
Murray said that undoing the policies would put more people at risk since illegal aliens would stop calling the police to report crimes over fear they might be deported.
“The time to act is now,” Murray said. “Inconsistent and incorrect statements from the Trump Administration have created too much fear and uncertainty. Communities become less safe every day under Trump’s orders as residents become more afraid to report crimes.”

Quote:“Of course, we are concerned about people, who carry guns,” she said, “who are involved in drugs, who are involved in gangs, who are involved in trafficking, and if they’re undocumented we’re going to enforce the law against them as we would anybody else. But the vast majority of undocumented people in our community are law-abiding people, and we need to work with them as a police service,”

Quote:Los Angeles is another “sanctuary city” that is pushing back hard against the Trump administration’s threats. L.A. Mayor Gil Garcetti recently signed his own executive order forbidding all city employees from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. Some faith leaders are organizing “underground railroad” safe houses for illegal aliens to escape deportation.

I honestly don't know if the author of this article is serious, but I find it hilarious.    

I have often come across people stating that they wished they could be abducted. 

Okay...

Follow these guidelines, and maybe you will "get lucky".    

Quote:1. Buy a home in the states where UFO sightings are most prevalent: California, Florida, or Wisconsin. These places are thought to be the favorite places of aliens and living there will, therefore, raise the chances of abduction.

2. According to ancient alien theorists, aliens are all around. Speaking highly of them and expressing the desire to be abducted by them will gain the alien's attention. Who knows? Maybe the normal looking guy at a restaurant is an alien in disguise and looking for a new human specimen to operate on.

3. It is said that aliens love dark areas for carrying out their kidnappings. A lot of time spent in places like forests, wheat fields, countrysides, mountains, etc. Would be ideal.

4. The fields of Wiltshire in Southern England are said to be beloved by aliens for generating crop circles which are their way of communicating with humans.

5. Signals can be transmitted to outer space through a homemade radar and anyone is capable of this. Sending signals to aliens makes them aware of one's interest in making contact with them, which they would otherwise not know.

6. Wearing a Halloween costume of an alien may catch the eye of an actual extraterrestrial who may be in the mood for a hasty tour of their planet.

7. Reading about aliens as often as possible is key. An alien is more likely to abduct a human that knows a lot about them because they would prefer interaction with an educated human being.

8. SOS signals with strong laser torches should be sent immediately if a bright light is seen in the sky to draw the aliens' attention. However, be careful not to disturb the creatures by using too strong beams of light.

9. Aliens are interested in seizing humans for serious purposes (physical examinations with multiple probes and machines) so stay open to being experimented on. Since alien's can read minds through telepathy, one must genuinely be OK with the alien's intrusive intentions.

10. Since aliens love to kidnap humans that are terrified and attempt to evade them, learn to twist your face to express a sense of fear. Showing no signs of fear may lead the aliens to believe you are a spy because of willingness to be abducted.

Since there is no way to know what is going on in the mega-intelligent minds of extraterrestrial beings, this list is comprised merely of tips and suggestions to grabbing the attention of aliens and consequentially abducted.

OK, Boys and Girls, set down you Coffee, Hot Coco, Starbucks (whatever drink), Tea, Beer and other Alcoholic drink of choice, Oh and Daintengu,,, get my barmaid off your lap, I don't want you to drop her. Why you all ask?
Because we have a POTUS with a set of BALLS!

Quote:Trump signs order dismantling Obama-era climate policies

Quote:President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an order to undo Obama-era climate change regulations, keeping a campaign promise to support the coal industry and calling into question U.S. support for an international deal to fight global warming.

Flanked by coal miners and coal company executives, Trump proclaimed his "Energy Independence" executive order at the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The move drew swift backlash from a coalition of 23 states and local governments, as well as environmental groups, which called the decree a threat to public health and vowed to fight it in court.

The order's main target is former President Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan, which required states to slash carbon emissions from power plants - a key factor in the United States' ability to meet its commitments under a climate change accord reached by nearly 200 countries in Paris in 2015.
Trump's decree also reverses a ban on coal leasing on federal lands, undoes rules to curb methane emissions from oil and gas production and reduces the weight of climate change and carbon emissions in policy and infrastructure permitting decisions. Carbon dioxide and methane are two of the main greenhouse gases blamed by scientists for heating the earth.

"I am taking historic steps to lift restrictions on American energy, to reverse government intrusion and to cancel job-killing regulations," Trump said at the EPA.

The room was filled with miners, coal company executives and staff from industry groups, who applauded loudly as Trump spoke. Shares in U.S. coal companies edged higher in response.

Just seen this article posted by some chap who was at a Disney World.

http://gizmodo.com/how-i-let-disney-trac...75386?IR=T

He ends his article with these words:-

Disney World isn’t exactly special in this sense. It is the most magical surveillance state on Earth, though.

This video shows illustrations of rooms inside the Mars and Moon bases where the SSP are set up. 
Geographical perimeters are listed so the viewer can look them up from themselves for verification.

I'd like to have a toilet and solar shower in my bathroom like these people have.
They have been advertising this toilet recently for us peon Earthlings, but you'd have to be rich to afford one.

Quote:A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown
Ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for
Their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries
And a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's
Yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich.
 
 
A short time later the waitress returns with the
Order. "That will Be $9.40 please" The man
Reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact
Change for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come
Again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries
And a coke."
 
 
The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."
 
 
Again the man reaches into his pocket and
Pays with exact change.
 
 
This becomes routine until the two enter again.
"The usual?" Asks the waitress. "No, this is
Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato
And a salad," says the man. "Same," says the
Ostrich. Shortly the waitress brings the order
And says, "That will be $32.62." Once again
The man pulls the exact change out of his pocket
And places it on the table.
 
 
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any
Longer. "Excuse me, Sir. How do you manage to
Always come up with the exact change in your
Pocket every time?"
 
 
"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was
Cleaning the attic and Found an old lamp. When
I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me
Two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had
To pay for anything, I would just put my hand
In my pocket and the right amount of money
Would always be there."
 
 
"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people
Would ask for a Million Dollars or something,
But you'll always be as rich as you want for as
Long as you live!"
 
 
"That's right..Whether it's a gallon of milk or a
Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,"
Says the man.
 
 
The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?"
 
 
The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second
Wish was for a tall chick with a nice butt and long
Legs who agrees with everything I say.."

Burglary suspect found hanging upside-down after losing pants on spiked fence.

'An Arizona man learned what could go wrong if you have baggy pants and you're
attempting to flee from committing a crime. You could get stuck hanging upside
down by your pants.



Tucson Unified School District spokeswoman Michelle Valenzuela told Tucson
News Now that the incident began Friday morning, when a locksmith spotted
a man trying to break into some rooms at the Miles-Exploratory Learning Center.

The locksmith spooked the alleged burglar, who tried to get away.
Unfortunately for the suspect, he was unable to make the leap over the spiked
fence and was caught hanging upside-down, with his underwear exposed to
the world. 

At that point, passers-by Jesse Sensibar and Kristin Woodall took a quick photo
and posted the story to Facebook, where it quickly went viral.
Tucson police were on the scene shortly afterward and arrested the unidentified
suspect.

"I don't know what his story was but it must not have been good enough," Sensibar
wrote on Facebook. "Fifteen minutes later when I went back by the other direction
going home he was cuffed up in the backseat. He smiled for the camera."...'

Fellow Rogues,

I have put this one in the Rogues Promo cupboard because it is (kind of) promoting some of my own photography.

I have been... swithering (is that a word? deliberating maybe?) for a while now, about whether to pursue photography as more of a part-time career than the hobby that it has been... so Promo Spot it is!

A Highland Fling

On the weekend of 24-26th March 2017, I decided to go on a wee solo-camping trip to one of my favourite "get away from it all" locations in the beautiful Highlands of my native Scotland.



The journey up is beautiful enough, but especially so with the crisp & clear weather that I enjoyed on this occasion.

You turn off the "main" A-roads onto tiny single tracks as you get within a few miles of my destination.



A remote Highland Glen, with one single hotel/bar, a crystal-clear river or two and snow-topped mountains galore.





I was even lucky enough to meet some of the "wild locals" close-up! (Yes, that is my shadow!)
