The protest chaos that engulfed the outside of a Donald Trump event in Southern California on Thursday followed the Republican presidential front-runner to the Bay area on Friday, as hundreds gathered outside the hotel where he was scheduled to address state Republicans.

Trump’s speech was delayed by the demonstrations.

Protesters could be seen breaking through barricades, as well as picking them up and tossing them aside, as they moved toward the front of the hotel hosting the event in Burlingame, Calif.    Continue reading “Protest chaos follows Trump to Calif. GOP convention”

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Caterpillar Inc. says it will close five more factories — including an Oxford, Mississippi, plant — as the Peoria, Illinois-based heavy equipment maker reacts to slowing demand for construction and mining equipment worldwide by cutting capacity.

The Oxford plant, with 240 employees stamping metal hose couplings, will continue work into 2017, then shift some production to Caterpillar’s plant in Menominee, Michigan, and some work to outside suppliers.   Continue reading “Caterpillar closing 5 more plants amid low demand”

From a speech by William Grayson given to the Virginia ratifying convention on June 18, 1788.

---

Mr. [William] GRAYSON. Mr. Chairman, one great objection with me is this: If we advert to. . . . . [the] democratical, aristocratical, or executive branch, we shall find their powers are perpetually varying and fluctuating throughout the whole. Perhaps the democratic branch would be well constructed, were it not for this defect. The executive is still worse, in this respect, than the democratic branch. He is to be elected by a number of electors in the country; but the principle is changed when no person has a majority of the whole number of electors appointed, or when more than one have such a majority, and have an equal number of votes; for then the lower house is to vote by states.

The Constitutional Convention considered several possible methods of selecting a president.

One idea was to have the Congress choose the president. This idea was rejected, however, because some felt that making such a choice would be too divisive an issue and leave too many hard feelings in the Congress. Others felt that such a procedure would invite unseemly political bargaining, corruption, and perhaps even interference from foreign powers. Still others felt that such an arrangement would upset the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches of the federal government.    Continue reading “Origins of the Electoral College”

The State Department doled out $13 million in grants for longtime friend and Clinton Foundation donor Muhammad Yunus during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, according to federal records.

The grants were provided in 18 separate transactions from the U.S. Agency for International Development to the Bangladesh-based Grameen bank, according to a Sunday evening report from the Daily Caller News Foundation, for which Yunus served as a founding board member. Groups associated with Yunus through business relationships received an additional $11 million.   Continue reading “Clinton Foundation donor received $13 million from State Department”

The Swedish government is taking an extremely bizarre commitment to fighting climate change by spending large sums of tax payer money to develop ‘meat’ made from mealworms and crickets.

Vinnova, the Swedish government agency that distributes money for research and development, is spending some 2.7 billion kronor ($261 million) to replace conventional meat with ‘climate-friendly’ insect ‘meat’ and other strange alternatives.   Continue reading “Swedish Govt Spends Millions Telling Citizens To Eat Insect ‘Meat’ To End Climate Change”

A friend of the suspected gunman accused of slaying nine black parishioners in a 2015 attack on a South Carolina church pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to investigators and concealing knowledge of the plan, the Post and Courier newspaper in Charleston reported.

Joseph Meek, 21, appeared in court before U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel in Charleston. He had agreed in a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to withholding information about a crime and making false statements to authorities investigating the massacre in Charleston, according to the documents filed earlier this week.   Continue reading “Charleston church shooting suspect’s friend pleads guilty to lying”

HOUSTON (KTRK) — When you think of felony forgery your thoughts might turn to Al Capone or Bonnie and Clyde shooting it out with the Texas Rangers.

Not for some local school cops. For one day, public enemy number one when it came to forgery was 13-year-old eighth grader Danesiah Neal at Fort Bend Independent School District’s Christa McAuliffe Middle School.   Continue reading “Lunchroom Lunacy: ISD Cops Investigate $2 Bill Spent on School Lunch”

This is the full interview of Jim Willie posted earlier but it was interrupted by you tube and not allowed to continue.  When I went to the recommended site to hear the rest you had to join and pay to do so.  My next move was to find another source and did.  This is very important as it shows China’s moves that would certainly fix a lot of things.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.  Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.  When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna’s heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.   Continue reading “A bit of humor”

Local police chiefs and sheriffs typically swear to enforce the laws of their state. But a group called the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association is intent on strictly enforcing their view of the U.S. Constitution and, according to a long newpiece by the Center for Public Integrity, “its ambition is to encourage law enforcement officers to defy laws they decide themselves are illegal.” In essence, they are troubled by the overreach of the federal government in matters concerning guns, taxes and land management, and founder Richard Mack has described the federals as “the greatest threat we face today,” and his association as “the army to set our nation free.”   Continue reading “National sheriffs’ group, opposed to federal laws on guns and taxes, calls for defiance”

An Israeli man was convicted on Tuesday of murdering a Palestinian teenager in Jerusalem, as a court rejected his insanity plea for a crime that helped trigger the 2014 Gaza war.

Prosecutors said Yosef Haim Ben-David organised the killing of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khudair, who was bludgeoned, strangled and burned alive. Two Jewish youths who helped him abduct the teen were sentenced in February, one to life imprisonment and the other to a 21-year term.   Continue reading “Israeli convicted of burning Palestinian teen to death”
