School District Spent $275,000 in Public Dollars on Tax Hike Vote [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

School District Spent $275,000 in Public Dollars on Tax Hike Vote [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"The Kent Intermediate School District spent $275,206 on its May 2 enhancement millage victory, according to documents obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
The May 2 ballot proposal increase was approved 54 to 46 percent, with 74,188 voting. 
The property tax hike will give each Kent County school district an additional $211 per student and cost taxpayers about $20 million annually.
Kent ISD Superintendent Ron Caniff said $128,000 of the cost was for conducting the election, such as poll workers and absentee ballot mailings.
“Our school districts asked us to call the election for the May date because the vast majority of tax collections within Kent ISD are in the summer,” Caniff said in an email. 
“The outcome of the May election allows our districts to receive the benefit of the millage beginning next school year, and local districts can properly plan and adopt their budgets accordingly.”
Caniff said the district also spent $150,000 on election communications, mailings and social media.
...By comparison, Ann Arbor Public Schools spent $7,478 on its May 2 election, according to a Freedom of Information Act response. There were 179,550 registered voters eligible to vote on the Ann Arbor Public Schools sinking fund..."

New Wifi Tech Can See Through Walls And Map The Inside Of A Building In “20 To 30 Seconds”

New Wifi Tech Can See Through Walls And Map The Inside Of A Building In “20 To 30 Seconds”

"Most of us don’t pay much attention to the WiFi routers in our homes. 
It’s an innocuous technology that we all take for granted, and we don’t really think about unless it’s not working properly. 
However, WiFi has a unique property that might make you reconsider a land line.

Like many frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum, it can penetrate walls, which is what makes WiFi such a good signal for connecting our electronic devices to the internet. 
But unlike most signals, WiFi can also be used to map every object in your home from afar. 
That’s because some of the signal will reflect off of objects rather than passing through them. 
This property has led to the creation of devices that can receive those bouncing signals, and allow the user to effectively see through walls.

This technology has been around for a few years, but was pretty rudimentary. 
Recently researchers in Germany have taken it a whole new level..."

If Russian Interference Was So Awful, Why Didn't The Obama Administration Do Anything About It? - Matt Vespa

If Russian Interference Was So Awful, Why Didn't The Obama Administration Do Anything About It? - Matt Vespa:


"So, what happened here? Obama didn’t have to listen to Mr. Comey regarding the October meeting about the Russian meddling. In fact, this torpid response to the accusation is reportedly why Mrs. Clinton is angrier with Obama than Russia or the FBI concerning her 2016 loss."

Venezuelans seeking US asylum jump 160% - May. 23, 2017

Venezuelans seeking US asylum jump 160% - May. 23, 2017
"Venezuela on brink of collapse
Joy and sadness overwhelmed Emelina Guerra when she first walked into a supermarket in Miami.
It was full of food, a sight she hadn't seen in her home country, Venezuela, in at least five years.
"I was very emotional because I realized my family was here and we finally had everything," says Guerra, choking back tears, as she recalled the moment. 
The sight made her grateful to be in the US but sad to think of her parents back home.
Guerra, 32, fled Caracas just two months ago with her two-year old, Jesus, and husband, Miguel Arredondo, to escape Venezuela's soaring violence, political chaos and food shortages.
Guerra is considering applying for asylum, which she believes is her family's best option to stay in the US.
If she applies, she'll join an alarming trend: Venezuelans are now the top asylum seekers in the US, ahead of citizens from China, Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador. 
It's the first time Venezuelans have topped the list.
...For now, Guerra is just happy and hopeful that her son will lead a better life, free of the violence in Caracas.
She hopes to soon find affordable English courses so she can start a new life in the United States.
"I can't imagine going back," she says..."

Chelsea Clinton: 'Climate Change' Connects To 'Child Marriage' | Daily Wire

Chelsea Clinton: 'Climate Change' Connects To 'Child Marriage' | Daily Wire
"Climate change” and “child marriage” are “interconnected” issues, said Chelsea Clinton on Monday. Participating in a left-wing discussion panel framed as a meeting for “social justice,” she was introduced as an “activist, thought leader, and change agent.”
Using "climate change" as a euphemism for the narrative of anthropogenic global warming, Clinton framed the burning of fossil fuels as exacerbating other perceived social and political issues (emphasis added):
“[We] carry multiple concerns in both our head and our heart.
Just listening to the concerns around education and climate change, women’s health, child marriage, access to technology, all of those are of course interconnected.
We have to focus on each of them in their interconnectedness.”
Clinton also suggested that President Donald Trump’s political ascendance was amplifying varying bigotries:
“We have to realize, especially at this moment, that sexism is not an opinion. Islamophobia is not an opinion. Racism is not an opinion. Homophobia is not an opinion. Jingoism is not an opinion. So I think that in our posture of listening, we also have to get comfortable with standing up and speaking out.”...

Terror Attacks Rising -- Immigration & Safe Havens Play a Role | National Review

Terror Attacks Rising -- Immigration & Safe Havens Play a Role | National Review:

"there is an emerging bipartisan consensus that a certain amount of terrorism is just the price we have to pay to live the way we want to live. Now, to be clear, very few people will come out and say this explicitly, and national-security establishments do their best — within certain, limited parameters — to stop every single terror attack, but more than 15 years after 9/11 it’s clear that there are prices our societies aren’t willing to pay. And neither our nation nor any of our European allies is willing to pay the price to reduce the terror threat to its pre-9/11 scale."

Trump Critics Left & Right Want Him Removed | National Review
"Truth or consequences?
Obama skated for far worse misdeeds.

• Election machines in three states were not hacked to give Donald Trump the election. 
• There was never a serious post-election movement of electors to defy their constitutional duties and vote for Hillary Clinton. 
• Nor, once Trump was elected, did transgendered people begin killing themselves in alarming numbers. 
• Nor were there mass resignations at the State Department upon his inauguration. 
• Nor did Donald Trump seek an order to “ban all Muslims” from entering the U.S. 
• Instead, he temporarily sought a suspension in visas for everyone, regardless of religion, from seven Middle Eastern states that the Obama administration had earlier identified as incapable of properly vetting travelers to the U.S. 
• The first lady did not work for an elite escort or prostitute service. 
• She never said that she and young Barron Trump would not be moving to the White House. 
• Barron does not have autism. 
• Trump’s father never ran racist ads as a supposed candidate in a purported political campaign. Kellyanne Conway denies that in a private conversation between segments on MSNBC, she privately remarked to hosts that she had to take a shower after working for Trump. 
• Donald Trump never suggested to the Mexican president that the U.S. was going to invade Mexico. 
• Nor did Trump plan to mobilize the National Guard to send back illegal aliens. 
• He did not remove a Martin Luther King bust from the White House. 
• There was no evidence that he ever promised to ease Russian sanctions (much less that he promised the Russians he would be “flexible” after he was elected). 
• He did not short the FBI of resources to conduct an investigation into supposed Russian collusion.

Cost Of Universal Healthcare In California: A Mere 2x The State's Entire Annual Budget | Zero Hedge

Cost Of Universal Healthcare In California: A Mere 2x The State's Entire Annual Budget | Zero Hedge:
"Back in February, a gaggle of California Senators introduced Senate Bill 562, a publicly funded universal healthcare system otherwise conveniently marketed as "The Healthy California Act"...because who in their right mind would oppose Californians being healthy?
Presumably "The California Single-Payer Healthcare System, Courtesy of A Back-Breaking $400 Billion Tax, Act" was passed over because the truth isn't quite so 'marketable' in this particular case.
Unfortunately, while catchy protest slogans like "Healthcare is a Human Right" sound so appealing, the cost of the Liberal healthcare end goal (i.e. a "Single-Payer System"), as some California Senators are finding out today, is somewhat 'cost prohibitive'.
According to a study by California's Senate Appropriations Committee, the price tag of SB562 is around $400 billion a year, which just happens to be a little over 2x Cali's entire annual budget..."

Learn and live-----Aggressive treatment for sepsis can save lives, research shows - CBS News

Aggressive treatment for sepsis can save lives, research shows - CBS News:
"WASHINGTON -- Minutes matter when it comes to treating sepsis, the killer condition that most Americans probably have never heard of, and new research shows it's time they learn.
Sepsis is the body's out-of-control reaction to an infection.
By the time patients realize they're in trouble, their organs could be shutting down.
New York became the first state to require that hospitals follow aggressive steps when they suspect sepsis is brewing.
Researchers examined patients treated there in the past two years and reported Sunday that faster care really is better.
Every additional hour it takes to give antibiotics and perform other key steps increases the odds of death by 4 percent, according to the study reported at an American Thoracic Society meeting and in the New England Journal of Medicine.
That's not just news for doctors or for other states considering similar rules.
Patients also have to reach the hospital in time..."

ACLJ Win: Federal Court Orders Largest Monthly Document Production Since the Election on Deep State Operatives | American Center for Law and Justice

ACLJ Win: Federal Court Orders Largest Monthly Document Production Since the Election on Deep State Operatives | American Center for Law and Justice:

"This is the most significant progress we have made against the deep state bureaucracy that has continually thwarted federal law – refusing to turn over key documents related to government corruption.

The ACLJ had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit more than six months ago seeking records regarding the “favor” that the State Department did for the Clinton Foundation while Secretary Clinton ran the department. We got our first documents on the eve of the inauguration disclosing that an individual by the name of Brock Johnson had been that “favor.”"

Acquittal for Man Who Argued His Impressive Penis Was To Blame For Girlfriend's Choking Death

Acquittal for Man Who Argued His Impressive Penis Was To Blame For Girlfriend's Choking Death
"The 65-year-old Florida man who claimed the impressive size of his penis was to blame for his girlfriend’s choking to death during sex has been found not guilty of second degree murder. 
Attorneys for Richard Henry Patterson had fought to let the jury see his manhood for themselves to prove his case — though a “viewing” never happened.
Indeed the size of Patterson’s penis was a significant issue throughout the case involving the death of 60 year-old Francisca Marquinez.
The claim that Marquinez choked to death while performing oral sex on Patterson was the focus of Patterson’s defense strategy through most of the week-long trial, but late in the case the defense attorney switched his emphasis to the possibility that Marquinez died of a heart attack or stroke that went unnoticed by Patterson as they had sex..."

British Columnist Targeted By Police For Telling Men Of The West To Demand Action Against Terrorism | Daily Wire:

"Katie Hopkins, a columnist for Daily Mail Online, tweeted a call for men of the West to stand up for their families and demand action from the powers that be to combat terrorists.

The leftist then alerted the Metropolitan Police, who stated they would tell specialist officers to review and assess what Hopkins had tweeted."
