LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
https://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2017/11/ladyjustice-bytammy-derouin-whenwe.html
Justice,
as a process, has an end; acquittal or punishment. Everyone will
have an opinion as to whether justice was served and if the
punishment fit the crime. Understandably, many factors come into
play from personal feelings, the facts, as well as the acceptance of
the facts. Unfortunately, facts have become less important on the
political stage. Many attempts have been made to bury them while
creating a different reality to the liking of a political party.
This has dangerous consequences for everyone.......

Lady
Justice
By
Tammy Derouin
When
we think about justice being served, one of the first things that
come to mind is that a wrong will be corrected and the offender(s),
having been held accountable, will face some sort of punishment.
Justice
is a process. It begins with a violation or an accusation and is
followed by legal proceedings. Information is gathered to see if
there is enough evidence to move forward with a trial. If the
process continues, the evidence is supported and challenged by both
sides. Individual testimony, to support or discredit claims, are
presented which will hopefully render a clearer picture of the events
which took place, or didn't take place.
Justice,
in the United States, comes with the benefit of being innocent until
proven guilty and that everyone is held to the same standards under
the law, regardless of stature. Lady Justice is blindfolded for a
reason. Do we still respect and demand fairness?

What We’ve Learned About the Funding of the Dossier | The Rush Limbaugh Show:
"RUSH: A few more tidbits here on the Trump dossier. The Democrats are beginning to indicate now that… They’re beginning to acknowledge that it was paid for by Hillary and the DNC and they had a cutout law firm to make the transaction, Perkins Coie. Pencil Neck, Adam Schiff — the ranking Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee — was on one of the Sunday shows yesterday. He said, “Well, really it doesn’t matter who paid for it. When you get right down to it, who paid for it doesn’t matter. What matters is how much of it is true.”
It doesn’t matter who paid for it, but what matters is how much of it is true? Do you think who paid for it might be a factor in how much of it is true, Pencil Neck? For example, if Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee paid for this and a Democrat law firm — who has as a member a guy by the name of Bob Bauer, who has been in bed with the Clinton administration, the Obama administration.

Betsy DeVos dressed as Ms. Frizzle for Halloween and people aren't happy | MLive.com
"Betsy DeVos hopped on the Magic School Bus for Halloween, but not everyone is going along for the ride.
That's right, the Secretary of Education from Michigan marked the occasion by dressing up as Ms. Frizzle, the eccentric, orange-haired teacher from the 90s animated series "The Magic School Bus."
...But others aren't as excited, even going as far to say she's "unworthy" since Frizzle is a public school teacher and bus driver and DeVos is an advocate for private schools and alternative charter academies..."

James Mattis, Rex Tillerson to Congress: Don't restrict Trump military powers - Washington Times:
"The White House is pushing back against congressional efforts to further define, and in some cases curtail, how Washington carries out combat operations against terror groups such as Islamic State, the Taliban and al Qaeda.
Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took a hard line Monday, urged Congress not to implement further restrictions on how the White House deploys forces and executes operations in support of the overall U.S. counterterrorism mission."

"Earlier, we reported on Under Armour’s epic stock collapse down over -75% from its September 2015 highs.

...Simultaneously, Plank built an elitist only hotel in Baltimore’s Fells Point district called Sagamore Pendry.
The two year, $60 million dollar project was also constructed around the time of the whiskey distillery.
According to Kayak.com, the 128-room property sits on the historic recreation pier in Fells Point with rooms starting at +$335.
Interesting to note, a majority of Americans don’t even have $500.00 in savings, so a one night stay at Plank’s hotel does not welcome middle America...

JPM’s Wealth Inequality desk outlines that nearly 1/3 of households of color have a net worth of zero in Baltimore. Considering total population is around 620k, that means over 100k African Americans in the city are flat broke. This gives you a perspective of Baltimore’s economic disparities as Plank builds fancy things.
...And one more thing, Plank’s $5.5 billion dollar ‘city with-in a city’ for elites was in danger of failing this year. Goldman Sachs came in with a hockey stick save for $233 million back in September to rescue the project when the stock was 20% higher. With the latest tumble in the stock along with re-imaging plans for the company through layoffs and cost cuts. The idea of such a project is farfetched...
Bottomline:
Kevin Plank’s actions over the past few years will certainly go down in the record books of what not to do in a stock market bubble.
It’s only a matter of time when the overwhelmingly poor citizens of Baltimore wake up to the wide wealth inequalities produced by easy money policies of the Federal Reserve..."

Overview
Overview
"Americans Say Political Correctness Has Silenced Discussions Society Needs to Have; Most Have Views They’re Afraid to Share
Nearly three-fourths (71%) of Americans believe that political correctness has done more to silence important discussions our society needs to have. A little more than a quarter (28%) instead believe that political correctness has done more to help people avoid offending others...
Americans Oppose Hate Speech Bans but Say Hate Speech Is Morally Unacceptable
Most Americans (59%) think people should be allowed to express unpopular opinions in public, even those deeply offensive to other people. Forty percent (40%) think government should prevent hate speech in public. Nonetheless, an overwhelming majority (79%) agree that it is “morally unacceptable” to engage in hate speech against racial or religious groups. Thus, the public appears to distinguish between allowing offensive speech and endorsing it.
Despite this, the survey also found Americans willing to censor, regulate, or punish a wide variety of speech and expression they personally find offensive:
- 51% of strong liberals say it’s “morally acceptable” to punch Nazis.
- 53% of Republicans favor stripping U.S. citizenship from people who burn the American flag.
- 51% of Democrats support a law that requires Americans use transgender people’s preferred gender pronouns.
- 47% of Republicans favor bans on building new mosques.
- 58% of Democrats say employers should punish employees for offensive Facebook posts.
- 65% of Republicans say NFL players should be fired if they refuse to stand for the national anthem."
