“I had no idea that leaving me with two scars on my body and a punctured lung — after stabbing me with a 20-centimeter-long knife — was professional artwork, not terrorism,” Maya Rachimi, who was wounded, told Ynet.
Micah Avni, the son of the slain American-Israeli educator Lakin, said, “Those who cannot call terrorism terrorism, and condemn the murder of Israelis as well as American citizens, are part of the problem, and are inciting to terrorism by staying silent.”

BOMBSHELL: We Just Discovered the REAL Reason Kasich Refuses to Drop Out... This Is Treason:"The reason why may be more sinister than most would like to believe — and it has ties to Kasich’s donors.
LifeSite News reported that none other than George Soros is linked to Kasich’s presidential campaign. The Soros Fund Management was listed as the sixth highest individual donor to the governor’s campaign, with $202,700 given thus far.
George Soros, of course, is a big-time liberal player who has donated over $8 million to Democrat presidential candidate Hillary’ Clinton’s campaign."
OMG, it's spreading!!-----Flint-level lead numbers found in water at 4 area sites
Flint-level lead numbers found in water at 4 area sites:
"...Lead comparable to levels in Flint, Michigan, has contaminated drinking water sources in a place you might least expect: the picturesque mountains near Estes Park, known for its spectacular views of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Documents show four locations clustered near Estes Park since 2012 have met or exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s action level for lead in drinking water.
The results catapulted Larimer County among the counties with the most sites in the state with drinking water test results of 15 or more parts of lead per billion parts of water between 2012 and 2015.
Fort Collins tested well below federal lead standards..."

Edward Snowden: “Global Warming Is An Invention Of The CIA”
Whatsupic - Edward Snowden: “Global Warming Is An Invention Of The CIA”
...“I have documents showing that the CIA invented the whole thing,” claims Edward Snowden.
“Global Warming was invented to both scare people, and divert their attention from other human-made dangers like nuclear weapons.
The CIA gave millions of dollars to any scientist who would confirm the theory, so many unscrupulous scientists did what they were told in order to get the money.
Now, there is so much fake data to confirm that Global Warming “exists”, that they actually convinced everyone that it was real.”
National security agency whistleblower edward snowden, has made a new controversial claim yesterday during an interview, saying that he possesses some classified information proving that the CIA is behind the “theory of global warming”.
“Global Warming was invented to both scare people, and divert their attention from other human-made dangers like nuclear weapons.

The Solid Case Against Grover Norquist | Glenn Beck
The Solid Case Against Grover Norquist | Glenn Beck:
"Why Recall Grover Norquist?
While Mr. Norquist’s efforts on trying to reduce taxes are admirable, his co-founding of the Islamic Free Market Institute and its connections to highly suspect individuals are puzzling at best, very dangerous at worst.
Mr. Norquist has well-documented associations with radical Islamists, including Abdurahman Alamoudi who is serving a 23-year prison term on terrorism charges. Mr. Norquist’s Islamic Institute received two $10,000 contributions in 1999 drawn from the personal bank account of Alamoudi. But that’s only scratching the surface of Mr. Norquist’s connections to radical Islam.
The Center for Security Policy laid out a 101-page document that explicitly details Mr. Norquist’s history with Islamists directly connected to the Muslim Brotherhood."

Chicago Low-Income Housing Voucher: $4,000/mo. | Intellectual Takeout
Chicago Low-Income Housing Voucher: $4,000/mo. | Intellectual Takeout:
The inequity of the program is insane.
Whatever one’s opinion on government helping low-income or no-income individuals have roofs over their heads, it’s probably safe to say that most people would be outraged by a government program that gives some people nearly $4,000/mo. for housing while others get less than $1,000/mo.
Too extreme to believe?
Here’s what Chicago’s Sun Times is reporting:
“After buying a home in Barrington Hills, Chaoshan Lai and his wife couldn’t unload the 15-year-old townhouse that they’d bought for $935,000 in Central Station, a taxpayer-subsidized development in the South Loop where former Mayor Richard M. Daley lived for years.
Lai couldn’t even find anyone to rent the townhouse on South Prairie Avenue — until he got a call in 2013 about a woman who’d gotten a ‘housing choice voucher,’ from the Chicago Housing Authority through a program that had long been called Section 8.
Lai says the woman wanted to lease his three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home, which has a library and is within walking distance of Soldier Field and the lakefront.
‘I said, “You probably cannot afford the rent,”’ Lai recalls. ‘But they said they have a special program in the “opportunity area” that pays much better. I said, “Let’s give it a shot.”’
It ended up being a good deal for Lai. Since June 1, 2013, he’s collected more than $100,000 from the CHA, which administers public housing in Chicago for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CHA pays him $3,911 a month in federal funds to lease his townhouse to the woman and three others in her household, including a child under the age of 6, records show.
It also has been a good deal for Lai’s tenant. She pays no rent because, CHA officials say, she has no income.”
Here are more details of the program:

College students can earn credit for attending 'Queer Sex Ed Workshop' - The College Fix:"Some University of Michigan students can earn credit toward graduation for attending a “Queer Sex Ed Workshop” scheduled for next week.
The queer sex ed seminar is one workshop among 14 various events that make up the “LGBTQ+ Health & Wellness Week,” which launched March 13 and runs through March 25 at the state’s flagship public university.
Students enrolled in the university’s Residential College Forums program who attend the queer sex ed workshop will earn credit for their attendance, the university’s website states.
“In an hour and a half we will attempt to provide a space for instruction and discussion on a sexual education that was not given to use in school,” the event description states.
“Topics covered will include general anatomy and STI information, non-normative forms of contraception, safe sex toys, healthy hook ups, kinks, and much much more!”...

Lying with your money-----Judge Orders White House To Stop Hiding Its Bogus Global Warming 'Proof'
Judge Orders White House To Stop Hiding Its Bogus Global Warming 'Proof'
On January 8, 2014, the White House posted a controversial video claiming that global warming causes more severe winter cold.
Called “The Polar Vortex Explained in 2 Minutes,” it featured the director of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP), John P. Holdren, claiming that a “growing body of evidence” showed that the “extreme cold being experienced by much of the United States” at the time was “a pattern that we can expect to see with increasing frequency as global warming continues.” [Editors Note:Holdren also believes Trees should be given standing to sue in courts]
This claim was questioned by many scientists and commentators...
In April 2014, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) sent a request for correction of this statement under the federal Information Quality Act, citing peer-reviewed scientific articles debunking it.
In June 2014, OSTP rejected this request, claiming that Holdren’s statement was his “personal opinion,” not the agency’s position, and that it thus did not constitute “information” subject to the Information Quality Act, which excludes “subjective opinions” from its reach.
...In February 2016, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that OSTP must produce these records,
...When OSTP produced the records on March 4, 2016 (they are at this link), they showed inconsistency in OSTP’s position over time.
...potential explanation for all this is that OSTP’s Polar Vortex video was originally produced and posted not as the personal opinion of the agency’s director, but as an agency project.
OSTP sought, and succeeded, in getting widespread news coverage for the film.
But once its inaccuracy became clear, the agency invoked the personal opinion excuse as a way of avoiding accountability, and it did its best to maintain that façade even if it meant going through time-consuming and expensive litigation.

Holi crapoli, diapers and washers are the new "rights"?-----The stark inequality of washing machines
The stark inequality of washing machines - The Washington Post:
"Many readers responded to a piece we ran earlier this week on the high cost of diapers for the poor by suggesting a cheaper alternative: cloth diapers a family can buy once and then reuse.
This solution, though, has its limits for a number of reasons.
Cloth diapers require a high up-front cost, which means those savings can be out of reach of cash-strapped families for the same reason that bulk purchases often are.
"You do need to have several hundred dollars at once to get started, but then you are set," as one commentator dismissive of the "diaper gap" put it.
Cloth diapers, which are more time-intensive, also assume that poor parents can pay for what they can't afford with money by spending their time instead.
(This is a tradeoff society often demands, for example, when the poor take long bus commutes because they can't afford cars, or sit through long ER waits when they don't have health insurance).
And many poor households simply don't have the one thing you'd need to use cloth diapers in the first place — a washing machine.
To illustrate this, we pulled data from the Census Bureau's American Housing Survey.
One in four households in the U.S. living on less than $40,000 a year lacks a washing machine at home.
The richest families in America are about 30 percentage points more likely than the poorest to have their own washing machine:"...

The student, identified as “C.C.” in court records made the comments to a vegetarian classmate identified as “K.S.”
“The (Board) report found that C.C. told K.S. that ‘It’s not good to not eat meat,’ and ‘he should eat meat because he’d be smarter and have bigger brains,’” according to records cited by the Post. “C.C. himself wrote that he told K.S. that ‘vegetarians are idiots.’ The anti-bullying specialist found that C.C. stated that K.S.’s response to his comments was amusing to him.”...
