Parkland students have a cause and $3.5 million — here’s how they’re going to spend it


The Miami Herald
Posted with permission from Tribune Content Agency
MIAMI — To help fund a national gun control movement, a small group of South Florida students who survived the worst high school shooting in U.S. history set up a modest website Sunday and created a GoFundMe account to pursue an ambitious goal: raise $1 million.

They received more than three times that amount. In four days.
In a sign of just how much momentum they have, the students who survived the Valentine's Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland have amassed donations from more than 18,000 people backing the #NeverEnough movement and the March For Our Lives, an anti-gun-violence protest they're planning on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The money has poured in from all over the country, escalating to seven figures before the young organizers could even set up a foundation to fund.
By Tuesday, the pot was nearing $1.5 million. And then Hollywood celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and George Clooney committed a half-million dollars. Each.
With $3.5 million suddenly at their disposal, this core group of roughly 20 teenagers — still grieving the loss of 17 classmates and school mentors — has enough money to fund a national march and a revolution. They're now beginning to consider the long game: a lasting movement to keep the pressure on pro-gun politicians and the National Rifle Association.

Just When You Think Trump Can’t Go Lower, He Attacks John McCain


While John McCain is fighting brain cancer, Donald Trump used his platform at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this morning to bash the Senator. This comes just two weeks after Meghan McCain said, “I don’t believe he would go there again.”  Oh yes, he can, and he did.

Saturday's Ride - 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne 454 classic car

Mulroney put the con in conservative

"Ontario is now a magic kingdom. Like a magic-mushroom kingdom. Its politics are hallucinatory weird. And what's unfolding is definitely not some stoner comedy. What's unfolding is beggared by the description "surreal."
Take what happened on TV on Thursday evening. The wildly elastic fictive quality of it was phantasmagoric and nauseating."

Watch this, it is for old people..... Not you but other old people.....

This was a guest speaker at an actual Conference on Aging in California; The speaker is a weatherman but SHOULD be a standup comic. Attendees were young and old alike, male and female. I hope no one is offended . . . he is hysterical.

Have you seen this squeaky suspect?



The unwanted hitchhiker recently popped up on the windshield of a Bay Area sheriff's deputy's vehicle, but the possible carjacking attempt was thwarted and the mouse ran off. 

"The suspect was last seen on foot running to a hiding spot. The suspect is 4 inches tall, weighing 1 ounce and wearing a grey and white fury coat," a tongue-in-cheek Facebook post from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office read.

Keep Trumps Pecker in America

The CEO and chairman of AMI is David Pecker, a personal friend of Trump’s. Farrow reports that “Pecker routinely makes catch-and-kill arrangements” like the McDougal one. It is alleged that Pecker uses these stories as leverage over celebrities. Does he also use them to manipulate Trump?
As one former AMI editor told Farrow, “In theory, you would think that Trump has all the power in that relationship, but in fact Pecker has the power ... He knows where the bodies are buried.”
Pecker sits on the board of Postmedia, which is currently cutting newspapers across Canada down to the bone.
Media companies seeking various kinds of help from Ottawa to survive their ongoing financial catastrophe should be alarmed. In no way can the Canadian government be seen as providing a benefit that would even indirectly fatten the profits of a creature like Pecker. Postmedia is bad enough, but the presence of Pecker is an indelible taint.

Can Trump be blackmailed over sex?

New Yorker article reveals more disturbing personal details about the U.S. president but none of it will finish him off, writes Heather Mallick.

Dialogue

I told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.”

He said, “NO!”

I told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”

He said, “OK.”

I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.”

Bill Gates said, “NO.”

I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.”

Bill Gates said, “OK.”

I called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.

He said, “NO.”

I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”

He said, “OK.”

This is how politics works.

Female Quarters in Navy..


Female Quarters in Navy Ship's New Female Quarters Regulations Department of the Navy is now assigning females to quarters in
a separate private "OFF LIMITS" area on all aircraft carriers. While addressing all personnel at Pearl Harbor, CINCPAC advised, "Female sleeping quarters will be "out-of-bounds" for all males. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be fined $50 the first time." And the Admiral continued, "Anyone caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $150. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $500. Are there any questions?" At this point, a US Marine from the security detail assigned to a ship stood up in the crowd and inquired: "How much for a season pass?" God bless the Marine Corps!

The Fraser Instituts: The masters of fake reports and right wing lies

7 Disturbing Facts About the Fraser Institute


Most Canadians have heard of the Fraser Institute, the British Columbia-based “think tank”. Its reports and “studies” are often covered in the mainstream media as independent and objective.
But the truth is that the Fraser Institute exists to promote rightwing ideology. It was created and is funded by big corporate interests who sought to change government policy to enrich themselves.
Here are 7 facts about the Fraser Institute that they don’t want you to know:
1. The Fraser Institute’s research wing was created with money from tobacco companies. The Institute’s “Social Affairs Centre”, set up to promote “free-market” policies on tobacco, guns, and drug use was funded by tobacco giants Rothman’s and Phillip Morris. In 1999, the Fraser Institute wrote letters to British American Tobacco begging for more funding, highlighting reports they had done to discredit science around the harms of second-hand smoke.
2. The Fraser Institute was a leading opponent of anti-smoking laws, and promoted junk science that denied the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. The Institute, funded by Big Tobacco, produced numerous “studies” that attempted to discredit scientific research on smoking. In particular, the Institute worked to undermine public perception of second-hand smoke. While proven to be harmful, the Institute published numerous reports claiming that second-hand smoke was safe.

The Arrogance of Old Age

During the summer I bought two six packs of beer that was on sale. I placed them on the front seat of the car and headed back home.



I stopped at a service station where a drop-dead gorgeous, almost blonde, was filling up her car at the next pump.


It was very warm and she was wearing tight shorts and a light top which was wide open.

She glanced at the beer, bent over and knocked on my passenger window

With her bra-less breasts almost falling out of her skimpy top she said, in a sexy voice, “I'm a big believer in barter, old fellow, would you be interested in trading sex for beer?"


I thought for a few seconds and asked,

"What kind of beer you got?"

“THAT IS THE ARROGANCE OF OLD AGE”

Sunday's Ride - Russian Beriev Be-200 Multipurpose Amphibious Aircraft

Trump the Liar

3 Trump properties posted 144 openings for seasonal jobs. Only one went to a US worker.

“America First” doesn’t seem to apply to the president’s own businesses.

President Donald Trump's businesses don’t seem too concerned about “America First."
A Vox analysis of hiring records for seasonal workers at three Trump properties in New York and Florida revealed that only one out of 144 jobs went to a US worker from 2016 to the end of 2017. Foreign guest workers with H-2B visas got the rest.


Javier Zarracina/Vox

The H-2B visa program allows seasonal, non-agricultural employers — like hotels and ski resorts — to hire foreign workers when they can’t find American ones. The Trump administration temporarily expanded this guest-worker program in 2017 while restricting other avenues of legal immigration, including the H-1B program for high-skilled workers.
The Trump Organization is exactly the kind of company that relies on the H-2B visa program for low-skilled workers.
Vox reviewed recruiting files submitted to the US Department of Labor for two Trump properties in Florida (including Mar-a-Lago) and one in New York from the start of 2016 through the end of 2017. In that period, hiring managers said they were able to find and hire only one qualified American worker — a cook — for 144 open positions for servers, cooks, housekeepers, and bartenders.
