WEB Notes: What “hot new trend”? Well it’s “hot and new” because the media said so… Give me a break. Who wants to eat a bunch of recycled trash? The last time I checked that is why we all go to work and provide for our families so we do not have to eat trash to survive. I tell you what. After the globalists start eating this “trash” then they can tell me to have a smell. Why you are at it have a fake meat burger!

WEB Notes: The military industrial complex. The US is the biggest sponsor of war the world has ever seen. It is very unfortunate to see understanding the roots of our once blessed nation. It would not be surprising to see ISIS gain control of these assets in the future as they have done in the past.
The U.S. State Department has approved the sale of $295.6 million worth of military equipment to Iraq for artillery and infantry Kurdish peshmerga units, a Pentagon agency said on Wednesday. Continue reading “US approves $295.6 million military equipment sale to Iraq: Pentagon”
WEB Notes: I was always taught growing up if you do not have the cash you do not need it. In the age of iDevices people are spending money they do not have like never before. Today, cell phones cost $800 bucks, but don’t worry. We will finance that guy for you right on your phone bill. Hey it’s only another 30 bucks a month. This is how we go into debt and this is why many will literally never stop working until they drop dead. We live in sad times and while the odds are stacked against us, we need to take accountability and make the right choices in life. Just because everyone else is doing it or has it does not mean you need to.
A recent article in Motherboard reveals how sports stadiums are spying on everyone’s instant messages, Tweets and sentiments. (I couldn’t find any pictures of a U.S. sport stadium security room, so I posted one of a 2014 World Cup security room.)
Sports stadiums across the country are using ‘Babel Street’ and ‘Babel X’ to spy on fan’s sentiments and social media accounts. Continue reading “Sports stadiums spy on everyone’s instant messages, Tweets and sentiments”
They sit for hours at a time, hunched over tables with scissors in one hand and marijuana in the other. The work is tedious, but it pays well -– for now. This once mostly black market trade is slowly becoming more regulated, hindering the flow of quick, under-the-table cash.
Time melds together, the sound of snipping and sticky scissors clinking as they are dipped in jars of alcohol, before they get back to grooming the weed. Continue reading “Migrant workers are making thousands trimming marijuana in California”
Law enforcers aren’t “heroes” . . . but what about firemen?
Are they Hose Heroes?
People are pressured to regard them as such. Much as they are pressured to genuflect, North Korean funeral-style, before the Presence of a law enforcer. Continue reading “Hose Heroes?”
Bruce Springsteen has reunited with longtime collaborator and Houserockers frontman Joe Grushecky for an anti-Trump protest song, “That’s What Makes Us Great.” You can purchase the track, which premiered this morning on SiriusXM, on Grushecky’s website. “I had this song, and Bruce and I had been talking,” Grushecky told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I sent it to him and he liked it. I said, ‘What do you think about singing on it?’ He gave it the Bruce treatment.” The song’s lyrics target various aspects of the Trump administration. Springsteen sings, “Don’t tell me a lie/And sell it as a fact/I’ve been down that road before/And I ain’t going back.” Later he sings, “And don’t you brag to me/That you never read a book/I never put my faith/In a con man and his crooks.” Continue reading “Bruce Springsteen Releases New Anti-Trump Protest Song With Joe Grushecky”
ProPublica – by Charles Ornstein
The public could soon get a look at confidential reports about errors, mishaps and mix-ups in the nation’s hospitals that put patients’ health and safety at risk, under a groundbreaking proposal from federal health officials.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services wants to require that private health care accreditors publicly detail problems they find during inspections of hospitals and other medical facilities, as well as the steps being taken to fix them. Nearly nine in 10 hospitals are directly overseen by those accreditors, not the government. Continue reading “Secret Hospital Inspections May Become Public at Last”
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — In the ruins of a tropical hideaway where jetsetters once sipped rum under the Caribbean sun, the abandoned children tried to make a life for themselves. They begged and scavenged for food, but they never could scrape together enough to beat back the hunger, until the U.N. peacekeepers moved in a few blocks away.
The men who came from a far-away place and spoke a strange language offered the Haitian children cookies and other snacks. Sometimes they gave them a few dollars. But the price was high: The Sri Lankan peacekeepers wanted sex from girls and boys as young as 12. Continue reading “UN child sex ring left victims but no arrests”
Facebook says it is developing non-invasive technology that will allow people to transform thoughts into text through sheer mind power, sparing them the time and effort required to type words. The project has received a fairly mixed response, however.
The social media giant announced its intention to create the potentially revolutionary technology at its developer conference, F8, on Wednesday. The far-reaching plans to combine the “convenience of voice” and “the privacy of text” were presented by the head of Facebook’s Building 8 hardware research division, Regina Dugan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dow Chemical is pushing the Trump administration to scrap the findings of federal scientists who point to a family of widely used pesticides as harmful to about 1,800 critically threatened or endangered species.
Lawyers representing Dow, whose CEO also heads a White House manufacturing working group, and two other makers of organophosphates sent letters last week to the heads of three Cabinet agencies. The companies asked them “to set aside” the results of government studies the companies contend are fundamentally flawed. Continue reading “Pesticide maker tries to kill risk study”
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — No matter what variation of the ‘n-word’ is spoken, a Florida state senator is learning the term is still offensive as Democrats and Republicans admonish him for using it during an exchange with two African-American colleagues.
Republican Sen. Frank Artiles tried to say his use of the word was actually “niggas” and explained that’s the way people speak in Hialeah, the city near Miami where he grew up. Even as he apologized on the Senate floor Wednesday, he said that his intention in using it was benign. Continue reading “No inoffensive way to say the “n-word,” Fla. senator learns”
SEATTLE (AP) — Thursday marks marijuana culture’s high holiday, 4/20, when college students gather — at 4:20 p.m. — in clouds of smoke on campus quads and when pot shops in legal weed states thank their customers with discounts.
his year’s edition provides an occasion for pot activists to reflect on how far their movement has come, with recreational pot now allowed in eight states and the nation’s capital, as well as a changed national political climate that could threaten to slow or undermine their cause. Continue reading “AP Explains: The origins of 4/20, marijuana’s high holiday”
SALEM — Oregonians from across the political spectrum packed into the state Capitol Monday to testify on bills to limit some Oregonians’ access to guns, including people who show signs they’re suicidal or who don’t demonstrate they have the skills to shoot a gun.
Some gun owners worried that the bills would take away the constitutionally protected right to bear arms, while proponents of the bills insisted the proposals were necessary to prevent gun violence. Continue reading “Oregon gun control bills get bipartisan support — and opposition”
As president Trump relishes telling the story, he was sitting with President Xi of China, who was enjoying a beautiful, huge slice of chocolate cake — the best chocolate cake you ever saw, which can be enjoyed only at Mar-A-Lago — when Trump decided it was time to launch 59 cruise missiles at the Assad government.
As the Chinese president dabbed the chocolate decadence from his lips, Trump informed him that he’d just given the order to launch missiles at Assad’s air fare. The Chinese president paused for about ten seconds and then said, “Well, he did use gasses on children.” Continue reading “Getting Trumped and Thumped in Syria”
