Refugees will freeze to death, warn EU heads - Telegraph
"Leaders warn the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the migrant crisis
Migrants crossing the Balkans will begin freezing to death as winter approaches, the head of European Union has said, as leaders warned the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the biggest humanitarian crisis since the Second World War.
As leaders of eastern European countries turned on each other at a foul-tempered emergency summit in Brussels, they said the Schengen visa-free zone and even the European Union itself could be pulled apart as states threw up borders to halt the influx.
'Every day counts, otherwise we will soon see families in cold rivers in the Balkans perish miserably'
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said a solution was urgently needed or thousands of refugee families facing winter temperature on the hillsides and freezing river-banks of Eastern Europe, would die..."

Transgender Student Loses Job for Identifying as Male

Transgender Student Loses Job for Identifying as Male
Now this isn’t necessarily new, but in recent months, this has become the great question of our time. If a female transgender chooses to identify as a white male, do colleges celebrate her/his diversity in living her/his truth, or shun him/her because… now he’s just a privileged, white male?
Neverland makes more sense…
Wesley College gives us our answer!
Timothy Boatwright was born a girl, and checked off the “female” box when applying to the Massachusetts all-women’s school, according to an article in the New York Times.
But when he got there, he introduced himself as a “masculine-of-center genderqueer” person named “Timothy” (the name he picked for himself) and asked them to use male pronouns when referring to him.
And, by all accounts, Boatwright felt welcome on campus — until the day he announced that he wanted to run for the school’s office of multicultural affairs coordinator, whose job is to promote a “culture of diversity” on campus.
But some students thought that allowing Boatwright to have the position would just perpetuate patriarchy. 
They were so opposed, in fact, that when the other three candidates (all women of color) dropped out, they started an anonymous Facebook campaign encouraging people not to vote at all to keep him from winning the position.
Tranny?
But you’re too white!....

Big Spenders Relax: Projected Revenue Growth Easily Covers Road Fix Earmarks

Big Spenders Relax: Projected Revenue Growth Easily Covers Road Fix Earmarks [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"A transportation funding package passed by the state House this week would annually earmark $600 million of state income tax revenue to road repairs starting in 2020.
This comes from a tax projected to bring in nearly $9 billion this year and trending higher.
Yet State Rep. Jim Townsend, D-Royal Oak, called the plan a “fiscal time bomb.”
ForTheRecord says:
Bottom line – revenues from Michigan's major taxes are expected to increase more than $920 million next year alone. 
That figure is likely to be even higher by the time the proposed earmarks gradually begin in 2018.
Increased state income tax collections contribute $305 million to next year's projected $920 million state revenue increase.
In the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 2016, the income tax is projected to bring in $9.2 billion to the state.
And that’s just one tax.
Overall, the 19 major taxes that make up most of the state’s non-federal revenue are projected to increase by $921 million next year alone, from $23.2 billion to $24.1 billion."

Marijuana Entrepreneur Needs Salespeople, 'Who Have Smoked Weed And Can Talk About Our Products'

Marijuana Entrepreneur Needs Salespeople, 'Who Have Smoked Weed And Can Talk About Our Products' - Forbes:
"Starting with an outdoor marijuana grow then a retail store, Gonzalez expanded to cannabis oil production to infuse products like truffles and brittle candies, as well as cannabis oil for vape pens. However, there are major challenges to the expansion, especially when it comes to banking.
“No matter how good my numbers are, I can’t get a loan,” she said due to banking restrictions on the industry.
“If we need another delivery truck or oil production machine, we have to pay for it directly.”
That means all profits are invested right back into the business.
Advertising restrictions are another barrier to business growth.
Unable to advertise in traditional ways, Gonzales has hired three “brand ambassadors,” who hold events at dispensaries in California where customers can sample products and enter drawings for vape pen giveaways.
More recently they have launched GFarma.TV and GFarma.NEWS, short videos they post on YouTube and other sites to develop their brands.
Gonzalez says she looks beyond the typical résumé when hiring her brand ambassadors and salespeople.
“Yale and Harvard aren’t going to teach you the marijuana culture,” she said, “I need salespeople who have smoked weed and can talk about our products.”

Obama silent about black lives.....5 killed, 19 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings

5 killed, 19 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings | Chicago Sun-Times:
"Five people have been killed and at least 19 others wounded in shootings across Chicago this weekend.
The latest homicide happened early Sunday in the West Garfield Park neighborhood.
Perry Burrell, 26, was found with a gunshot wound to the head about 2:45 a.m. in a vehicle that had crashed into a tree in the 4500 block of West Adams, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Burrell, of the 2300 block of North Avers, was pronounced dead at the scene 10 minutes later, authorities said.
Saturday afternoon, a 23-year-old man was shot to death in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side.
Officers responding to a call of shots fired about 4:50 p.m. in the 5300 block of South Union found Fredrick Dockery unresponsive with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and neck, authorities said.
Dockery, whose home was a block north of the shooting scene, was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died at 5:40 p.m.
Earlier Saturday, a 45-year-old woman was gunned down in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
About 12:30 a.m., Maria Moreno was walking with another person in the 2500 block of South Harding when she heard shots and realized she had been struck in the chest, authorities said.
She was taken to Saint Anthony Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 12:58 a.m. Moreno lived about a half-mile away from the scene of the shooting in the 2500 block of South Kedvale."

Women Cry Foul as Glamour Magazine Names Bruce Jenner ‘Woman of the Year’ - Breitbart:
"The politically correct Glamour Magazine has reportedly waived the one defining requirement of candidates for its “Woman of the Year” honor—a double X chromosome—in conferring the title for 2015 on crossdresser Bruce Jenner, a move many women are finding insulting.
The magazine is expected to formally announce its choice of Jenner as woman of the year, along with actress Reese Witherspoon, on November 3.
Criticisms are already piling up from women who find the choice of Jenner to be demeaning, and are falling into two main camps.
First, out of all the real women in the world, could Glamour not find one worthy of the title of Woman of the Year without needing to fish in the male pool of boys dressing as girls?..."

Jeb Goes Off: I Could Be Doing ‘Really Cool Things’ Instead of Being President, You Know | Mediaite

Jeb Goes Off: I Could Be Doing ‘Really Cool Things’ Instead of Being President, You Know | Mediaite:

Jeb Bush let his agitation show on the campaign trail today when he complained about gridlock and partisanship in South Carolina.

Bush attended a presidential town hall held by Senator Tim Scott, and they were even joined on stage by none other than South Carolina congressman and Benghazi Select Committee chairman Trey Gowdy.

At one point, when he was lamenting the state of partisan politics, Bush said, “If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done, then I don’t want any part of it.”

He said he would not want to become president just so the gridlock continues.

And that’s when Bush really got agitated:

“I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”

A Year-Long U.S. Road Trip for People Who Want 70-Degree Weather Every Day - CityLab

A Year-Long U.S. Road Trip for People Who Want 70-Degree Weather Every Day - CityLab:

Say you’re a delicate individual who, like a wilt-prone poinsettia, doesn’t do well with temperature extremes. In fact, 69 degrees and below makes you shiver like a soaked kitten, and 71 and above makes you sweat so much you leave a shiny trail of floor-moisture.

Where would you have to run to in the U.S. to avoid these disagreeable temperatures … all year round?

All over the dang place, it turns out. Meteorologist Brian Brettschneidermapped the route that’s likely to keep a body exposed to daily high temperatures of 70 degrees, and it meanders for 13,000-plus miles from the southern tip of Texas up to Alaska and down again to San Diego. Brettschneider explains his thought experiment via direct messages on Twitter:

I have this obsession with weather perception (remember Seattle raininess and dreary weather?) We use terms like “nice,” “pleasant,” “dreary,” “crappy,” etc. to describe the weather/climate. My perception doesn’t always align with prevailing sentiment. Is a 60 degree day with a few rain showers a “nice” day? What about clear and 10 degrees? Here in Alaska, people complain when it is 40 degrees in January as being too warm. In Phoenix, people start complaining when there are two cloudy days in a row. It is fascinating to me.

My Way News - Syria mission demonstrates Russia's new prowess

HEMEIMEEM AIRBASE, Syria (AP) — Sleek combat jets loaded with precision bunker-buster bombs roar into the skies as soldiers in mint desert-style uniforms march past rows of neat housing at this Russian military base at one of Syria's largest airports.

The air campaign in Syria, Russia's first military action outside the former Soviet Union since the war in Afghanistan, shows a revamped Russian military, which sharply differs in both capability and mindset from the old, Soviet-style force.

It is capable of quickly projecting power far from Russian borders, widely uses drones and precision weapons, and cares about soldiers' comfort.

The thunder of Syria's civil war couldn't be heard at Hemeimeem, located in the coastal province of Latakia which has largely been spared the chaos and destruction of more than 4 1/2 years of fighting.

(AP) In this photo taken on Friday, Oct. 23, 2015, Syrian children stand at a refugee... Full Image

A small group of foreign journalists visiting the base this week could see a dozen Su-24 bombers taking off into the night with a deafening roar, piercing the darkness with scarlet flames from their engines.

Such missions were impossible just a few years ago, when the Russian air force had few planes capable of hitting targets at night.

As part of President Vladimir Putin's sweeping military modernization program, the air force received hundreds of new and modernized aircraft, all equipped with state-of-the art electronics on a par with U.S. and other NATO jets.

"All aircraft here at the base are equipped with targeting systems that allow hitting targets with pinpoint precision," said Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov.

He dismissed Syrian opposition claims that the Russian airstrikes killed civilians as "sheer nonsense," saying that the aircraft hit ammunition depots, bunkers and other targets away from populated areas.

Study: More Than Two-Thirds of Patients on Anti-Depressants Not Depressed - Breitbart

Study: More Than Two-Thirds of Patients on Anti-Depressants Not Depressed - Breitbart:


A new study shows that more than two-thirds — some 69 percent – of patients using anti-depressants do not actually meet the criteria for depressive disorder.

The study, which appears in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, finds that many individuals who are prescribed and take antidepressant medications may not actually have a depressive disorder, and that such drugs are often used by patients who do not meet the diagnostic criteria of depression.

According to the research, among the users of antidepressant medications, 69 percent never met the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD), and 38 percent also never met those for obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, or generalized anxiety disorder – for which the antidepressant medications are sometimes prescribed.

Other factors, however, unrelated to depression, were found to be associated with the use of antidepressants.

“Caucasian ethnicity, recent or current physical problems (eg, loss of bladder control, hypertension, and back pain), and recent mental health facility visits were associated with antidepressant use in addition to mental disorders,” say the researchers.

As Breitbart News previously reported, psychiatrist Dr. Julie Holland penned an op-ed in the New York Times earlier this year in which she cited that at least one of every four women in America is now on psychiatric medication, as opposed to one of every seven men, a situation Holland described as “insane.”

Holland observed that women are emotional and sensitive by design – qualities that are generally “a sign of health, not disease.”

According to Holland, “women are nearly twice as likely to receive a diagnosis of depression or anxiety disorder than men are.” Her concern is that the uptick in prescriptions for psychiatric medications is “creating a new normal, encouraging more women to seek chemical assistance.”

Women have learned that their normal feelings of sadness and anxiety – while they may be uncomfortable – are symptoms of pathology,” Holland wrote. “We need to … appreciate them as a healthy, adaptive part of our biology.”

Gravitational disturbance of the Oort Cloud - a shell of icy objects on the outer edge of the solar system - is believed to lead to periodic showers of comets pouring through the inner region where the Earth resides.

The last of these events is said to have occurred about 11 million years ago, roughly the same time as the Middle Miocene mass extinction.

Eight of the 12 surviving sons of Saudi Arabia’s founding monarch are supporting a move to oust King Salman, 79, the country’s ailing ruler, and replace him with his 73-year-old brother, according to a dissident prince.

The prince also claims that a clear majority of the country’s powerful Islamic clerics, known as the Ulama, would back a palace coup to oust the current King and install Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, a former Interior Minister, in his place. “The Ulama and religious people prefer Prince Ahmed – not all of them, but 75 per cent,” said the prince, himself a grandson of King Ibn Saud, who founded the ruling dynasty in 1932.

Support from the clerics would be vital for any change of monarch, since in the Saudi system only they have the power to confer religious and therefore political legitimacy on the leadership.

My Way News - Justice Dept.: No criminal charges for ex-IRS official

My Way News - Justice Dept.: No criminal charges for ex-IRS official:

WASHINGTON (AP) — No IRS official would face criminal charges arising from the political controversy over the processing of applications for tax-exempt status, the Justice Department announced Friday.

In a letter to members of Congress, the department said that while investigators had found "mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia," there was no evidence of a crime.

"We found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution," the letter stated.

The department also announced that Lois Lerner, who headed the division that processes applications for tax-exempt status at the time, would not face any charges.

A firestorm erupted more than two years ago with the release of an inspector general's audit that said IRS agents had improperly singled out tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections.

The disclosure set off investigations by the Justice Department and multiple congressional committees.

The House voted to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress last year after she refused to answer questions at two House Oversight Committee hearings. She has since retired.

Jeff Sessions: 'Great Danger' Of Mass Amnesty In 2017 - Breitbart

Jeff Sessions: 'Great Danger' Of Mass Amnesty In 2017 - Breitbart:

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)

80%

 is echoing the concerns of other prominent conservatives that the events unfolding now in Washington could lead to mass amnesty in 2017.

“The word is… that 2017 is the year to watch for immigration,” radio host Laura Ingraham asked Sessions. “What are the chances… that if 

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)

58%

 is Speaker and Hillary Clinton is President of the United States, or

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

80%

 is President of the United States that they would move in the first 100 days to push a massive, similar [to the ‘Gang of Eight’] immigration reform bill?”

Sessions replied, “I think there’s a great danger that that would happen.”

After the failed 2006-2007 amnesty push, the immigration lobby spent $1.5 billion leading up to the 2013 push in which Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered a bill to allow even more foreign workers.

A recent PBS documentary exposed how Ryan and Rubio were nearly successful in their effort to pass amnesty in 2014. Ryan had crafted a bill and had the Republican votes necessary to pass it. Ryan’s amnesty effort was aided by many of the members of theHouse Freedom Caucus, including 

Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC)

93%

 and

Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID)

95%

. Mulvaney has since become one of the biggest boosters in the House Freedom Caucus of a Paul Ryan Speakership. According to the documentary, the Ryan-Rubio amnesty plan was foiled when

Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA)

100%

 scored a historic primary victory to oust then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

Abort them?-----They Look Like Normal Twins, But Then Doctors Tell Mom The Shocking Truth...

They Look Like Normal Twins, But Then Doctors Tell Mom The Shocking Truth...:
"Nearly 20 years ago, a woman from Texas was a first-time expectant mother, pregnant with a set of twin girls.
However, when the doctor rescanned Crystal’s ultrasound, he confirmed her worst nightmare: there were two embryos and two heartbeats, but Emily and Caitlin were fused together at the liver and chest. 
Conjoined twins occur once in every 200,000 live births.
Back in 1996, Crystal and her husband panicked and prayed when she thought about the surgery, especially since these types of operations weren’t as advanced as they are today.
At one point, doctors gave the Copelands the option to terminate the pregnancy, because they didn’t know if Emily and Caitlin were conjoined at the heart, which can be fatal. 
When they discovered the twins only shared a liver, Crystal and her husband clung to the doctors’ optimism that surgery would be successful.
Then came another obstacle:
When Emily and Caitlin underwent their first surgery at just two days old, doctors also realized the organs were discharging through only one twin; they decided to wait for the girls to get bigger before separating them.
Emily and Caitlin lived as conjoined twins for 10 whole months before they went in for their final surgery to separate their bodies..."

Don't waste your time on this movie but be aware of it-----'Truth': A Terrible, Terrible Movie About Journalism

Rewriting history...again!
'Truth': A Terrible, Terrible Movie About Journalism - The Atlantic:
"Late in the movie Truth, the former 60 Minutes Wednesday producer Mary Mapes (played by Cate Blanchett) offers a Big Speech about the state of journalism, decrying the fact that all that people want to read or watch on television these days is “conspiracy theories.”
The irony apparently lost on her (or at least on the writer-director James Vanderbilt) is that she makes this charge while she herself is in the midst of presenting a conspiracy theory.
The film concerns 60 Minutes’s 2004 pre-election reporting on George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard.
Two documents central to the news program’s contention that Bush was granted preferential treatment were subsequently revealed to be almost certainly fraudulent.
This error ultimately resulted in the retirement from CBS of Dan Rather (played here with likable understatement by Robert Redford) and the firing of Mapes and others.
It’s in the midst of her “conspiracy theory” speech that Mapes suggests that the fraudulent documents were a cunning ploy by pro-Bush forces—immaculately sophisticated in some respects, but childishly certain to be recognized as fake in others—intended to discredit further reporting into his military record.
Could this be true?
Stranger things have happened, I suppose.
But it’s pretty much the definition of a conspiracy theory.
This is, alas, of a piece with Truth, one of the worst films about journalism (and there have been plenty of bad ones) to come down the pike in a long while. 
The movie loudly, hectoringly stresses the importance of always “asking questions”—my notes include, among others, the lines “Questions help us get to the truth,”
“You stop asking questions, that’s when the American people lose,” and “You’re supposed to question everything, that’s your job”—and yet the very quality it celebrates in its protagonist is that she never questions whether or not her reporting might have been wrong.
This is a film in which acknowledging error is treated as some terrible surrender and betrayal of trust; in actual journalism, it’s considered a moral obligation—one that, sadly, most people in the field have had some experience with, in one capacity or another...."

Big surprise, liberal WaPo lies. Again-----Firearm-Related Homicides Down Nearly 50% from 20 Years Ago

Pew: Firearm-Related Homicides Down Nearly 50% from 20 Years Ago:
"On October 21, Pew Research Center released findings that show the annual rate of firearm-related homicides in America declined by nearly 50 percent between 1993 and 2013.
That’s the same time period in which The Washington Post (WaPo) reported that firearm ownership doubled in the United States.
The WaPo did not put a figure on the number of privately owned guns in America.
Rather, they estimated that that average gun owner went from owning 4.1 guns in 1994 to owning 8.1 in 2013.
Breitbart News used Congressional Research Numbers to show that this means the 192 million guns owned privately in 1994 grew to 310 million or more in 2009 and to an estimated 350 million in 2013.
And PEW Research shows that this surge in privately owned guns did not correlate with an increase in firearm-related homicides but with a plunge in the annual firearm-related homicide rate, which fell from 7 per 100,000 Americans in 1993 to 3.6 per 100,000 in 2013.
Complimenting this 20-year doubling of the number of guns owned by Americans is the fact that concealed carry permit holders nearly tripled between 2007 and now. 
According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, the “4.6 million” concealed permit holders of 2007 grew to over “12.8 million” permit holders in 2015.
That means the last five years of the surge in gun ownership also coincided with a surge in carrying guns in public for self-defense...."

Greek parliament approves TV bill to regulate 'vampire' media - Yahoo News Canada:
"ATHENS (Reuters) - The Greek parliament on Saturday approved a bill to regulate the awarding of TV licences to broadcasters, as part of the leftist government's efforts to clean up a sector it says is mired in debts and corruption.
In the first such reform for years, the bill would require television stations to bid for 10-year licences via auctions.
"This law is part of a wider plan.
To change things, the political system must change, the banking system and the business model must change," Deputy Prime Minister Yannis Dragassakis told parliament.
He called Greek media "vampire businesses" living on loans they are not likely to repay. 
"It's not some sporadic scandals in an otherwise healthy system... It's a system of power which has been created," Dragassakis said..."
