- Zoonotic parasites in feces and fur of stray and private dogs from Italy. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Parasitol Res 2015 Mar 17.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The present study evaluated the occurrence of zoonotic parasites in feces and on fur of stray and private dogs living in Italy. Individual fecal samples collected from 117 and 385 kenneled (i.e., rescue shelter) and privately owned dogs, respectively, were examined by conventional copromicroscopy. Samples positive for Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. were subjected to further genetic characterization. Additionally, 174 fur samples of private and kenneled dogs living in the same area, 27 of which were also subjected to copromicroscopical examinations, were examined for the presence and viability of parasite elements. Out of 502 fecal samples, forty-one (8.2 %) scored positive for G. duodenalis cysts while one (0.2 %) for Cryptosporidium oocysts. Nine private dogs were molecularly positive for G. duodenalis assemblage C (n. 7), assemblage D (n. 1), and assemblages C + D (n. 1), while 11 kenneled dogs were positive for assemblage C (n. 8), assemblage D (n. 1), and assemblages C + D (n. 2). Cryptosporidium spp. were identified as C. canis in a private dog. One hundred and seventy-two dogs (34.3 %), i.e., 92 private and 80 kenneled, were positive for zoonotic nematodes: Toxocara canis (6.6 %), Ancylostoma caninum (6.8 %), and Capillaria aerophila (0.6 %). Unviable eggs of Toxocara spp. were found on the hair of five (2.9 %) private dogs. The present findings indicate that canine feces from both private and kenneled animals may contain zoonotic parasites and may be a potential risk for humans and other animals, especially when they contaminate the environment. The role of dog fur as source of human infections should be further investigated.
- PCR for enteric pathogens in high-prevalence settings. What does a positive signal tell us? [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Infect Dis (Lond) 2015 Mar 12.:1-8.
- Abstractauthor profiles
Molecular methods, in particular PCR, are increasingly used for the diagnosis of enteric pathogens in stool samples. In high-endemicity settings, however, asymptomatic carriage or residual DNA from previous infections will hamper the interpretation of positive test results. We assessed the quantitative dimension of this problem in schoolchildren in the rural highlands of Madagascar.Stool samples were collected from 410 apparently healthy Madagascan schoolchildren and analysed by multiplex real-time PCR for enteroinvasive bacteria (Salmonella spp., Shigella spp./enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC), Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia spp.), enteric protozoa (Entamoebea histolytica, Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., Cyclospora spp.), and helminths (Ascaris lumbricoides, Ancylostoma spp., Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis). Symptoms of gastrointestinal disease were assessed.Among the 410 samples, we detected Giardia duodenalis in 195, Campylobacter jejuni in 91, Ascaris lumbricoides in 72, Cyclospora cayetanenesis in 68, Shigella spp./EIEC in 56, and Strongyloides stercoralis and Cryptosporum spp. in 1 case each. Salmonella spp., Yersinia spp. and hookworms were not observed. Relative risk assessment suggested few and incoherent associations with pathogen detections, indicating asymptomatic carriage or DNA residuals. Only 26.1% of the schoolchildren were tested negative for all analysed pathogens.The very high risk of detecting traces of asymptomatic carriage or residual DNA from previous infections limits the value of highly sensitive PCR for the causal attribution of detected enteric pathogens from stool samples to an infectious gastrointestinal disease in the high-endemicity setting. Evaluated standards for the interpretation of such results are needed both for the diagnostic routine and for epidemiological assessments.
- Heavy metals and parasitic geohelminths toxicity among geophagous pregnant women: a case study of Nakuru Municipality, Kenya. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Geochem Health 2015 Mar 8.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Geophagia is defined as deliberate consumption of earths' materials, e.g. soil, clay and soft stones. The practice is widespread among pregnant women, and there are conflicting views as to whether it is beneficial to health or not. Geophagic materials may be a source of micronutrients though the materials may bind the micronutrients thus reducing or hindering their bioavailability in the body. Geophagia is closely associated with geohelminthic infections among pregnant women and heavy metal poisoning, which constitute significant public health problem in many developing countries such as Kenya. In our research, the geophagic materials consumed by the pregnant women were studied. A total of 38 geophagic materials in the possession by different pregnant women were analysed. The collected samples were subjected to standard digestion procedures and analysed for zinc, lead and iron by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results indicated that the geophagic materials contained elevated levels of Fe at mean concentration value of 80.10 ppm, Pb at 3.28 ppm and Zn 1.81 ppm for a 1.00 g sample. An average of 20 g of the geophagic materials was being consumed per day. Based on the average consumption, the pregnant women were exposed to 65.52 ppm Pb per day, 36.2 ppm Zn per day and 1602 ppm Fe per day. Lead exceeded the WHO-lead exposure limits of 25 ppm/day for pregnant women. The materials were also subjected to microscopic examination for Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Taenia Spp., Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale. In conclusion, the women were exposed to heavy metals-iron, zinc and lead, but there was no observable eggs, larvae or adult species of the geohelminths. The key recommendation was that there is need to integrate public health education on geophagia, lead screening and testing with antenatal support care systems. This will enhance maternal and child health, thus reducing infant and maternal morbidity and mortality rates.
- Serine Proteases of Parasitic Helminths. [REVIEW]
- Korean J Parasitol 2015 Feb; 53(1):1-11.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Serine proteases form one of the most important families of enzymes and perform significant functions in a broad range of biological processes, such as intra- and extracellular protein metabolism, digestion, blood coagulation, regulation of development, and fertilization. A number of serine proteases have been identified in parasitic helminths that have putative roles in parasite development and nutrition, host tissues and cell invasion, anticoagulation, and immune evasion. In this review, we described the serine proteases that have been identified in parasitic helminths, including nematodes (Trichinella spiralis, T. pseudospiralis, Trichuris muris, Anisakis simplex, Ascaris suum, Onchocerca volvulus, O. lienalis, Brugia malayi, Ancylostoma caninum, and Steinernema carpocapsae), cestodes (Spirometra mansoni, Echinococcus granulosus, and Schistocephalus solidus), and trematodes (Fasciola hepatica, F. gigantica, and Schistosoma mansoni). Moreover, the possible biological functions of these serine proteases in the endogenous biological phenomena of these parasites and in the host-parasite interaction were also discussed.
- Neglected zoonotic helminths: Hymenolepis nana, Echinococcus canadensis and Ancylostoma ceylanicum. [REVIEW]
- Clin Microbiol Infect 2015 Jan 14.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The majority of helminth parasites that are considered by WHO to be the cause of 'neglected diseases' are zoonotic. In terms of their impact on human health, the role of animal reservoirs and polyparasitism are both emerging issues in understanding the epidemiology of a number of these zoonoses. As such, Hymenolepis (Rodentolepis) nana, Echinococcus canadensis and Ancylostoma ceylanicum all qualify for consideration. They have been neglected and there is increasing evidence that all three parasite infections deserve more attention in terms of their impact on public health as well as their control.
- [The Caribbean origins of the National Public Health System in the USA: a global approach to the history of medicine and public health in Latin America]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Hist Cienc Saude Manguinhos 2015 Jan-Mar; 22(1):241-53.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
This article defines global history in relation to the history of medicine and public health. It argues that a global approach to history opens up a space for examining the reverberations transmitted from the geographic periphery towards western regions, which have traditionally dominated modern historiography. It analyzes two medical interventions in the Caribbean in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, showing how these events had profound consequences in the USA. The successes achieved in the Caribbean in terms of yellow fever and ancylostoma control, as well as providing a model for health campaigns in the southern USA, inspired the centralization of public health in North America under the centralizing control of the federal government.
- The genome and transcriptome of the zoonotic hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum identify infection-specific gene families. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Nat Genet 2015 Mar 2.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Hookworms infect over 400 million people, stunting and impoverishing them. Sequencing hookworm genomes and finding which genes they express during infection should help in devising new drugs or vaccines against hookworms. Unlike other hookworms, Ancylostoma ceylanicum infects both humans and other mammals, providing a laboratory model for hookworm disease. We determined an A. ceylanicum genome sequence of 313 Mb, with transcriptomic data throughout infection showing expression of 30,738 genes. Approximately 900 genes were upregulated during early infection in vivo, including ASPRs, a cryptic subfamily of activation-associated secreted proteins (ASPs). Genes downregulated during early infection included ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors; this downregulation was observed in both parasitic and free-living nematodes. Later, at the onset of heavy blood feeding, C-lectin genes were upregulated along with genes for secreted clade V proteins (SCVPs), encoding a previously undescribed protein family. These findings provide new drug and vaccine targets and should help elucidate hookworm pathogenesis.
- Spatial distribution of canine zoonotic enteroparasites in Bahía Blanca, Argentina. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Rev Argent Microbiol 2015 Feb 19.
- AbstractPublisher Full TextPublisher Full TextPublisher Full Text
The objectives of this research were: (1) to determine the occurrence of zoonotic enteroparasites in dog feces from Bahía Blanca, Argentina; (2) to characterize the spatial distribution of the parasites found in association with the quality of life index (QLI) in neighborhoods of Bahía Blanca; and (3) to determine if the presence of a particular parasite genus in a stool sample was facilitated or impeded by the presence of other parasite genera. Samples of dog stools (n=475) were collected between December 2012 and December 2013 in areas with varying QLI. The association between QLI values and the presence of parasites was analyzed using logistic regression. Overall enteroparasite occurrence was 36.6%. Parasitic forms found included nematode larvae, cysts of Blastocystis spp., Giardia spp., and oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp., and eggs of Ancylostoma caninum, Toxocara canis, cestodes and Trichuris spp. For certain enteroparasites, we detected significant associations between their occurrence and QLI. Feces collected in areas with medium and low QLI were 2.46 and 5.43 times more likely, respectively, to contain A. caninum than stools from the high-QLI area. Samples from areas with low QLI were 2.36 times more likely to contain Trichuris spp. than those from the high QLI area. Regarding protozoa, feces from areas with low QLI were 2.4 times more likely to be positive than those from areas with high QLI. We demonstrated that canine zoonotic parasites have a wide distribution in the study area, and that occurrence is higher in neighborhoods with lower QLI.
- Recombinant nematode anticoagulant protein c2 inhibits cell invasion by decreasing uPA expression in NSCLC cells. [Journal Article]
- Oncol Rep 2015 Apr; 33(4):1815-22.
- AbstractPublisher Full TextPublisher Full Text
Nematode anticoagulant protein c2 (NAPc2) is an 85-residue polypeptide originally isolated from the hematophagous hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum. Several studies have shown that rNAPc2 inhibits the growth of primary and metastatic tumors in mice independently of its ability to initiate coagulation. We obtained bioactive recombinant rNAPc2 by splicing of the rNAPc2-intein-CBD fusion proteins expressed in E. coli ER2566. In the in vitro assay, rNAPc2 obviously inhibited the invasive ability of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, rNAPc2 suppressed tumor growth in vivo by daily intraperitoneal injection of rNAPc2 in an NSCLC cell xenograft model of nude mice. Respectively, rNAPc2 downregulated the production of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) (P<0.05) and suppressed nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity. We also identified that inhibition of NF-κB activity impaired cell invasion and reduced the uPA production in NSCLC cells. Meanwhile, NF-κB was found to directly bind to the uPA promoter in vitro. These results demonstrated that rNAPc2 inhibits cell invasion at least in part through the downregulation of the NF-κB-dependent metastasis-related gene expression in NSCLC. Our results also suggest that uPA, a known metastasis-promoting gene, is indirectly regulated by rNAPc2 through NF-κB activation. These results indicate that rNAPc2 may be a potent agent for the prevention of NSCLC progression.

Viola Davis has been on everyone's lips these days – and it couldn't be happening to a more deserving person. A fiercely talented thespian (winner of 2 Tony Awards and a 3-time nominee), an extraordinary actor (winner & nominee of so many awards, including 2 Screen Actors' Guild Awards, 3 Golden Globe Nominations, 2 Academy Award nominations, among several others), and a great role model, Viola Davis' journey is one that I find incredibly inspiring for so many reasons.
Growing up extremely poor in Rhode Island, Davis was privy to desperate pangs of hunger – a cause that she is currently working hard to tackle, through the Hunger Is initiative. Her family was so poor that they lived in a building so rat-infested that they had to wear thick scarves around their necks at night to keep from getting bitten. To compound things, they were the only African-American family in their town, which led to lots of racism and the experience of racial epithets. Quite a story, huh?
Today, she is one of the most talked-about actresses in television, has been very happily married to actor-producer, Julius Tennon for 12 years, and is a proud mama of 4 year old daughter, Genesis, who the couple adopted in 2011.
Looking at the amazingly beautiful and successful person she is today, it's hard to imagine that this was her reality. Everyone has a story.
Here are some of the reasons Viola Davis really inspires me.
Have you seen this woman's SKIN? Viola has some of the most deliciously luminous skin I have ever seen. Always shining like a perfectly polished diamond, I really find her skin to be one of her most beautiful features.
At 49 (she turns 50 in August), Viola strikes me as a woman who has arrived at a place of acceptance in and love for her skin. She carries herself like someone who owns her features and has finally arrived at a place, where she looks in the mirror and is happy with what she sees. That is something that so many women – of all hues, shapes, and sizes – struggle with.
Viola has been very open about discussing the journey it has been to owning her beauty. From internalizing racist adjectives from white children from her childhood about being "ugly" to internalizing her mother's own battle with self-esteem, Davis never saw herself as truly beautiful. To worsen things, when she was 28, she woke up one day to bald patches on her head: her hair was falling out!!! She soon realized that she had alopecia areata – a condition that causes hair to fall out in round patches – and felt even less beautiful. She quickly embraced wigs as her best friends, her crutches, and was never seen without them, even while taking a bath!
Thanks to her incredible husband, Julius, who encouraged her to embrace the totality of her natural self, she decided to do away with the wigs and accept her natural hair. This led to her oft-talked about appearance at the 2012 Academy Awards, sans wig, with her beautifully coiled natural hair all aglow. By stepping forward into herself, she has encouraged so many women of African descent to do the same. You can often find her now, doing interviews and appearances in all her natural glory.
Despite being termed "less classically beautiful" by a controversial New York Times article by writer, Alessandra Stanley, Viola had the courage to do something few actresses in recent memory had done: she sat before the world and took off her wig and every. single. trace. of. make up. in a How to Get Away with Murder scene that will be forever etched in my memory (and that of millions of others). She sat before the world naked, bare, and confident. Social media was abuzz, and Black women everywhere rejoiced.
To stare down people who had thought her less than attractive or older in a world of such superficiality is what I call "the ultimate beauty with courage". For teaching us all how to throw caution to the wind, realize that our validations do not come from others, and stand in the power of our own beauty, I salute Viola Davis.
Viola Davis is an embodiment of the saying, "Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well." A formidable actress in every single role, Viola had still been long typecast – playing roles of people relegated to the background or with incredibly one-dimensional stories. Hailed as a star actress by such Hollywood heavy hitters as Denzel Washington, Davis still never received the recognition and quality roles she deserved. In fact, Denzel (who was her co-star & husband in the stage play, Fences) recommended that his daughter, who is also making her way as an actor, use Viola Davis as her blueprint, because every performance of hers is a tour de force.
In spite of the lack of meaty roles she has been offered, Viola has sunk her teeth into each one, delivering performances that have been nothing short of unforgettable. So unforgettable, in fact, that her 11-minute single-scene performance in the 2009 movie, Doubt, which starred Meryl Streep and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Let that sink in: 11 minutes on-screen ONLY, earned her an Academy Award nomination. If that isn't excellence, I don't know what is. Really!
Because she has been diligent in her work and committed to being excellent in every role – whether major or minor – she is finally getting the opportunities she deserves. In 2014, she was cast as the complicated and no-nonsense Annalise Keating in the Shonda Rhimes-backed ABC runaway hit, How to Get Away with Murder. She is bringing excellence to every single scene!
She inspires me to always do my best work, regardless of how small or unrecognized it may be, so that when the huge opportunities arrive, excellence is already my habit!
Viola Davis is one of those people who, in spite of the challenges and the odds, focuses on what she wants and works hard towards it. She ignores the bumps on the road and focuses on the destination, instead.
According to a Theatre Communications Group article,
"In college, Viola recalls participating in one acting class full of bright-eyed hopefuls. Her teacher was determined to knock some sense into them. He told everyone who wanted to be an actor to raise his or her hand. Then he bombarded the students with the hard facts of an actor's life: scarcity of work, financial hardships, cutthroat competition, cattle calls, no health insurance, no sick pay, bad breaks, bad agents, bad roles—you name it. One by one, the hands shot down. At the end of his rant, only Viola Davis still held her hand up high."
In 2006, Viola lost her father to pancreatic cancer; she states that it was a truly excruciating experience that changed everything in her life, helping her adjust her lenses and begin to focus on the things that matter the most – God, family, and love. Here's what WebMD quoted her as saying,
"If you knew you had only five minutes left, you learn what's important. It was like that when my dad passed. Anything you thought was important fades away. Anything that angered you or destroyed you is forgotten, and the only thing that is left is pure, pure love. Because at the end of the day, nothing else matters."
"I'm living my life with purpose, and I think when you do that[,] things fall in line, and they fall in line in the exact order they should," she says. "I now understand the importance of love. And for me, the most important things are my husband and my daughter. Because they make me feel needed. They make me feel like the space I'm taking up on this earth is important. That I'm important."
On learning to embrace fear, Viola had this to say to Vulture: (You should definitely read the full article. There's so much to glean from.)
"Nobody tells you about failure," Davis argues. "People always talk about winning, vision boards, getting what you want. People also don't talk about fear. It's always keeping fear at bay. Squelching it. Throwing it away. I've embraced fear and failure as a part of my success. I understand that it's part of the grand continuum of life. I've been through it all. Breakups, heartache, and I've lost a parent already. So now I get it at this age, I get that that is it. That life literally is what you make it."
In what is undoubtedly one of my favorite quotes ever, and one that I actually plan to pass on to my children (with a tweak or two), Viola reminds her daughter, Genesis, everyday of the 2 most important parts of herself: her head & her heart.
"I tell my daughter every morning, 'Now, what are the two most important parts of you?'" Davis began. "She says, 'My head and my heart.' Because that's what I've learned in the foxhole: What gets you through life is strength of character and strength of spirit and love."

Nobody's Oscar Worthy Thoughts.
Nobody Flashes
I SORT of watched the Oscars last night. Whenever I got insulted, I would change the channel, which happened a lot.
In the past years I have written about how to pick the winners at the Oscars: Just pick the movie that expresses the liberal causes, and that's your winner. It's easy. Was the movie about the sufferings of :gay? women? Muslims? blacks?
OSCAR! Add a few devastating illness and you have some variety.
It works every time. The good news is these Hollywood actors have become the loudest mouthpieces for the democratic party, and anybody who doesn't tow the line of liberal feel good causes are…trashed. And most of these movie stars have big mouths.
So, guess what? America stopped going to their movies as payback. You want to make fun of my conservatives values? Then I don't have to go see your movies. It must bother them because Sean Penn made a comment about how "Movies don't even have to make money, it's all about the 'art'.
And last year the movie industry lost BIG time. The movie that made half the profits, over $350 million and counting, was a movie about a true American Hero…a soldier.
Damn. What can you do when the nation STILL insists on those old fashion values? What every good marketing agent will do: you have to throw a few bones to the paying crowd.
They gave "Sniper" a nomination so those idiotic morons in the fly over states would tune into the Oscars and learn something. Maybe even go SEE those other movies and learn how wicked they are. Like how homosexuals want to kill themselves when teenagers because they feel "different." I think last year more soldiers killed themselves than homosexuals…but they don't care. They have gays in underwear.
"Sniper" won nothing.
And then there was Oprah. The TITANIC Oprah, who made Chris Pine cry with the emotion of how black people should be released from jail…and how racism is rampart in our society.
When "glory" came on, being a thinking human being, with still the right to choose, we flipped the channel to "The Walking Dead" only to witness…two men kissing and loving each other, and my husband and I turned and looked at each other and said, "Oh no…NOT the Talking Dead too."
STOP IT!! This was a plan to get us to turn BACK to the OSCARS! Ahhhhhhh…….
Lady Gaga, go figure, did a fine performance of songs from the "Sound of Music" The host was rather, boring. And so, I can see why he had to come out in his underwear.
But the talk on the blogs today is the big speech given by Patricia Arquette…she wants us all to march for the civil rights of….women.
"To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation," said Arquette. "We have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's our time to have wage equality once for all. And equal rights for women in the United States of America."
Somebody tell Hillary. Evidently, she has always paid women 72 cents to the men's dollar.
During those years, the median annual salary for a woman working in Clinton's office was $15,708.38 less than the median salary for a man, according to the analysis of data compiled from official Senate expenditure reports.
There wasn't ONE movie besides Sniper that I would pay money to see. And at the end, the director of the year, a Mexican, made a plea for us to welcome with open arms all his Mexicans neighbors who deserve to be Americans:
Director Inarritu said he prays his native country finds "a government we deserve" and that immigrants to the U.S. "can be treated with the same dignity and the respect of the ones who came before and (built) this incredible immigrant nation."
Wait. Now MEXICANS built this nations? Move over Muslims.
Don't they know…that it was the WOMEN who built this nation! Every time I look at the Empire State Building I remind myself that it was built by… very muscular women, who claimed to be men.
Back then, nobody would have hired them if they had said they were female.
Clearly, they have many more movies to make. And I wonder, when they make this movie about how Mexican, Muslims and women built America, they will mention the fact that they were all actually gay?
I think I'm on to something here. Oscar worthy.
Obama Starts the War On Women
Nobody Flashes
Just in case you missed this, Obama is saying that for women, going out your front door is more dangerous than driving your car. If you have not been raped or beaten…YOU WILL be in your lifetime.
The war on men…must go forth! Onward! Women! BEWARE of those evil men, standing beside you!
"Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away…it's just a shot away!"….yeah, yeah…yeah. Good thing Mick Jagger warned us.
Let me get this straight: They want women in the workforce, but they want to scare them SO much, they only hang out in groups, stay home and go nowhere— carry guns…wait.
They don't want them to carry guns right? So, in order to stop all this pillage, Obama just wants men to stop raping and beating women. Isn't that nice of him?
They just want those dirty, evil, men to stop raping and beating, and saying things like, "I love you."
"I love you" to Obama, is just one step away from a rape.
We had the "war on poverty, " the "war on blacks" the "war on drugs" and now, for your entertainment and Hillary's only hope for a viable voting block:
We are now starting
If I were you guys, I wouldn't put up with this. Time to beat up on some politicians….with your choicest words. And by the way, go ahead and cuss like a sailor.
Obama only understands the Chicago vernacular.
Nobody's Fool: Bobby Jindal
Nobody's Fool
Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney are meeting today— who's to bet both these guys are trying to figure out a plan how to defeat men like Bobby Jindal from running for President?
Bobby is articulate: He is doing a good job running Louisiana— he's all American. I would defiantly go to the polls to vote for him. If the names on the ticket were Bush or Romney VS Hillary…I'm not sure if I would. It depends on if I felt like doing my nails instead.
Bobby states what all republican candidates should be saying now. Any immigrant that comes into a Western country should assimilate. He stated that all over Europe there were zones where Muslims kept to themselves and the people of the country stayed away, including the police.
By saying this, Bobby upset the very 'sensitive' French mayor of Paris (a woman) when he talked about "No go Zones."
No wonder Obama keeps throwing dinner parties for the French.
So, Congratulations Mr. Jindal! You win the Nobody's Fool Award for the week. Now, run for President, please.
Something tells me in THIS election, it may not be the biggest money spender that wins.
MLK DAY: Black Lives Matter…Somebody Tell Obama
Nobody's Opinion
I'm glad it's Martin Luther King's Day today, and in celebration, and I would like to say…
Wait. I can't say that. Okay…
Why don't all those rioters just put on their NIKE's and shout, "JUST DO IT!" while they run down Malibu Beach?
Nothing like a good slogan to get you going. And the recent "black lives matter" slogan insinuates to the world that white people are evil. Especially white Americans.
Everybody is forgetting that other people besides blacks matter too. The MLK marches are going to be plastered all over our TV's today, Being that MLK was a great man, he would think white lives matter too..wouldn't he?
Would MLK be upset that they made another movie about whites killing blacks, when in reality, TODAY, in 2015, it's the blacks killing blacks, (not to mention all the black babies being aborted) that is putting all of Martin Luther's King's hard work, backwards?
If not, then he is no man to worship.
And despite what you will be hearing tomorrow, not ALL the blacks are on Obama's race card boat.
One of the black Caucus members that went to church in Ferguson today said that Ferguson was a "turning point in race relations."
Really? Which way are they going?
We have gone backwards thanks to our first black President. Not only is he trying to reincarnate the 1960s, and the race riots, the black race unemployment rate is twice that of the whites under Obama. There actually was a middle class back in the old days before civil rights.
The democratic party has done a bang-up job keeping the blacks on the liberal slave choo-choo train. And like the slave owners of old, they have kept many of them ignorant, uneducated, and poor, on purpose.
The one thing that Obama did accomplished, is he got blacks to actually get off their butts and go vote. Yes, if the blacks had not gone out and voted for Obama in the last two Presidential elections, they might actually have jobs now.
You must realized by now, that blacks…CAN vote, don't you? In mass numbers. They've proved it by electing Obama… So…
Why all of a sudden do we have to make a movie about how blacks can't vote?
I haven't seen Selma, but I'm told it's mostly about whites killing blacks and trying to keep them from voting, or whatever happened I'm not sure. It was not our best moment in time. And just in time to promote that the blacks should keep marching and blocking highways in 2015, ..is a movie, timed perfectly , and let me say that again…PERFECTLY….to be released JUST before MLK Day— called Selma, put out by Obama's tried and true helper, the second richest black woman in the world, Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah Winfrey and other stars of the movie "Selma" will march in the Alabama city Sunday afternoon in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
Timing is everything.
The very next night, the first black President will give his "state of the union" address where he will no doubt talk about how our race relations are (the whites fault) and then after smearing on the guilt, with a few well-timed camera shots of crying black mothers he will ask for all C students to get free college tuition. He will ACT like that applies to white kids too, but we all know that's not happening.
All of this misery will be blamed on the republicans.
And no doubt, some mothers of 'murdered' black children by racists cops will be sitting next to Michelle and crying big tears, to remind the rest of America, how prejudice we all still are.
Hand over the money.
Obama will have another message for the blacks "They are being kept from voting", because they shouldn't have to show an ID. The real reason for no ID voting is so illegal's can vote, but Obama doesn't want the blacks to know that. He's fighting for them.
Obama is about to make the poor blacks compete with the millions of illegal's who will now take over America. Forget your minimum raise.
The robots are coming.
Yes, your black President will be stabbing his black fans in the back.
Obama's economy is SO bad, Ferguson was a godsend for him: And who is behind this Obama black revolution?
For one, Karl Marx: "From the drastic dissolution of society it was the complete loss of Man and the dissolution of the hitherto existing world order. "
In other words you must destroy, and THEN build. And who's good at that?
George Soros—-Hillary's and Obama good friend:
Ferguson, was a product of Soros:
In an apparent effort to "keep the media's attention on the city and to widen the scope of the incident to focus on interrelated causes — not just the overpolicing and racial discrimination narratives that were highlighted by the news media in August," liberal billionaire George Soros donated $33million to social justice organizations which helped turn events in Ferguson from a local protest into a national flashpoint. Organizers from professional groups in Washington, D.C., and New York were bussed into the Missouri town to co-ordinate messaging and lobby to news media to cover events using the billionaire's funding.
The cash was reportedly funneled into keeping up numbers of protesters in the community over a period of months by bringing in outside activists.
Meanwhile papers from think tanks were disseminated to bring in extra coverage of the civil unrest, also linked to the police killings of Eric Garner in Staten Island and Tamir Rice, 12, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Soros also gave money to the Drug Policy Alliance, which worked on the perpetuation of the 'black lives matter' buzz phrase, which has been incorporated into speeches by political figures including Hillary Clinton.
And that's what you have in a nutshell: The black society has been destroyed—- "a drastic dissolution of society." Fatherless children born into poverty, given a terrible education, and kept on the hopelessness of welfare and drugs.
And now the time is ripe.
All they need a good slogan.
Today…"BLACK LIVES MATTER!"
Tomorrow…not so much.
Somebody–tell the President. Obviously he still thinks it's only his black life that matters, not theirs.
Nobody's Email: Why We Will MISS the Family….
If You PAY to see Liam Neeson's New Movie, then YOU have been taken.
Nobody Flashes
I heard this news on Rush Limbaugh's program today, and had to laugh. Liam Neeson has joined Sylvester Stallone in complaining that America citizens should not have guns—WHILE at the same time, making MILLIONS off those same people by promoting violence with guns.
"There's too many [expletive] guns out there," Neeson told Gulf News at a Taken 3 presser in Dubai. "Especially in America. I think the population is like, 320 million? There's over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. I think it's a [expletive] disgrace. Every week now we're picking up a newspaper and seeing, 'Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.'"
You tell me, how they see no hypocrisy in themselves and what they are saying.
"A character like Bryan Mills going out with guns and taking revenge: it's fantasy. It's in the movies, you know? I think it can give people a great release from stresses in life and all the rest of it, you know what I mean? It doesn't mean they're all going to go out and go, 'Yeah, let's get a gun!''"
So, tell us Mr. Neeson…do YOU own a gun? Sorry. You can't claim "It's a fantasy" ….you are endorsing the right for a man to protect his family by agreeing to make the film. We understand that YOU live in a fantasy world where you hang out with the superrich and can hire body guards, and live in castles with heavily guarded gates, but hey, some of us live near Ferguson. We NEED our guns. What DON'T you get about this fact?
You DO have a choice Liam. You don't have to make those films. Why do you think Americans LIKE those films? Is it because we believe in the right to protect ourselves? Or is it because we just think you're so handsome?
But, hey, if these guys want to shoot themselves in the foot, let them. After we heard Stallone put down the American public we never spent another dime on him, and we use to see all his movies.
I don't care how many more RAMBOS he makes, or even if Liam makes TAKEN 22, I will never spend another dime on seeing any of their work.
Nobody Thinks they both have enough money and who knows? Maybe 'somebody' is paying them big bucks to say this stuff.
Or…are they that stupid?
You tell me.
So, do YOU want to give your money to support men who put you down, and think you are stupid? You know what this Nobody really thinks about these two?
In a real fight in the real world, they'd be the first ones out the back door. They are …..actually cowards.
My dog has more cahonies, and she's a female.
IF Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Truly ARE the Most Admired People in the World, We Really Need to Get off the Planet
Nobody Knows
It's a funny end to the year—Here in America we are floating in a news sea of nebulous stories filled with marginal meanings of who, what, when and where are we? More importantly, what to do about it?
Let's start with something simple:
Do you know where your President is tonight?
Tonight they are giving a big dinner at the White House for the French, (At least that's what they said on Fox News) and I thought Obama and his family were in Hawaii on vacation…so, is he flying back to D.C. and then taking off again and going BACK out to Hawaii to play more golf? Is that NOT a big waste of money? Or like before, is he leaving Michelle in Hawaii, costing us more money?
President Obama will return to Washington from Hawaii Thursday while First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters plan to continue their vacation, adding at least $100,000 and probably more than $200,000 to taxpayer costs for the excursion.
NOTICE…nothing is said about him going back.
And more about Obama's stay in Hawaii…
A surefire sign that Obama's in town is the gunboats that appear in Kawainui Canal. For the duration of the presidential vacation, the U.S. Coast Guard sets up a security zone in the waters around the Paradise Point Estates peninsula, the exclusive Kailua neighborhood where the president has stayed for the past five years. This keep-out area includes about a half mile of the canal, a waterway popular among paddlers and a small slice of Kailua Bay, including part of a surfing area once known as Castle's but now called Obama's. (Where can you not surf when Obama's here? Obama's.) Violators face a $40,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison and, according to one Kailua resident who lives along the canal and hasn't quite come to terms with the firepower that accompanies the leader of the free world, "possible death."
"Possible death?" What? It's okay for the President to kill people to protect himself, but not for the NYPD?
Who wouldn't want to stay in paradise when you literally can have most of the island to yourself? You know, Bernie Sanders is always complaining about the Koch Brothers, but what about Obama? WHY do the socialists never complain about the wasted money Obama has spent on himself. WHY?
Even I have to admit, that our other rulers, the Bush family ( We seem to now have rotating Kings)—- George W. stayed at the White House more often than not, so that he wasn't dragging hundreds of men and women all over the planet, just to serve him.
Nobody Knows WHY in the world Congress has given Guantanamo Bay money to build a new school for the children of the soldiers there, and WHY a school that will only hold 275 children is costing $65 million dollars. What are they going to do, eat out of gold plates?
GUANTANAMO NAVY BASE, Cuba. — The base with the most expensive prison on earth is getting one of the world's priciest schools — a $65 million building with classroom space for, at most, 275 kindergarten through high school students.
Do the math: That's nearly a quarter-million-dollars per school child. In Miami-Dade County a new school costs perhaps $30,000 per student.
Something tells me there might be some special little elite Cuban kids going there….with little beards….
And speaking of schools, some nuts in California want to pass a law to teach kids in kindergarten not to "touch" each other.
Fresh off a victory in getting a law passed that regulates sexual encounters between students on college campuses, feminist activists in California are now pushing for instruction on sexual "consent" for children starting in kindergarten.
You have to teach the concept of "sex" to a five-year-old first, in order for them to understand WHY they are not supposed to 'touch' each other, and Nobody Knows but it IS my Nobody's Opinion, that forcing kids to think about sex at five, will only lead to MORE screwed up kids in the future— More rapes, more kids getting addicted to porn, more broken marriages…
Which…could be the plan, or maybe they really ARE that stupid.
Nobody Knows, but odds are, since they just took a poll and it has been announced that the American people voted that Barack Obama was the most admired man, and Hillary Clinton was the most admired woman, I'd say…the end COULD be very near.
Maybe I should start digging.
Nobody Wins With Democratic Mayors
Nobody Wins
If you haven't seen the NEW race riot video, where in July, a black man who didn't do what the police wanted, was 'killed' see it below.
Now, I don't know about you, but there are literally thousands of video's showing cops (if you watch COPS on TV you can see this every night) trying to arrest a black man, and the black person always knows there's a camera and they ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS are screaming discrimination.
Or, "You're hurting meeee! Oh!!! OH!!! OH!!…stop it!"
It's so common we are all used to it, as I'm sure the cops are.
Nevertheless, the black guy had a heart attack, due to the ordeal. And the cop was just found innocent.
It was perfect timing— this verdict coming out now. After all, after black Friday, the black rioters sort of disappeared. New York Christmas shopping is coming up!
Whatever you many think about who did what wrong here….nobody was hitting this man. We have seen cops being ruthless in some tapes, and remember, that's VERY rare.
This seemed more like a big mistake.
BUT…when the Mayor of New York insinuates that white people are at fault "going back decades" you can be rest assured the democratic party have marching orders…
RALLY THAT WAR! White people are to blame!
Nobody Wins.. when politicians try to incite riots…..especially the black people who are trying hard to abide by the law.
I might live near Ferguson, but I'm damn sure glad I don't live in New York.
What do Steve Ballmer, Luis Gutierrez, Joel Osteen, and Andrew Brietbart Have in Common?
Nobody's Opinion
It's been really interesting today, on all the talk shows, hearing the democrats trying to defend Obama's actions last week on immigration. But one thing you have to give them credit for: they have got their talking points down pat:
1. Obama HAD to do something because the republicans have not done a thing on immigration. "Congress was unwilling to act."
Well, when a President says he will veto any thing that isn't what he likes, what's the point?
(Lie: They sent hundreds of bills to the Senate, and Harry Reid refused to bring them to the floor.)
2. Only 47 percent of the voters voted, therefore, the rest of the people WANTED Obama to do something and support this.
(Lie, Obama's supporters stayed home because they don't really care what he does, those are the 47percent that don't PAY any taxes and are finding out Obama lied.)
3. Obama has the right to do what he did because other Presidents did the same.
(Lie, they worked with Congresses who had just passed immigration laws. Only Congress can pass immigration laws. Obama has no such power, and by his own admission.)
4. The republcians are only concerned about the border on the South, not protecting the other borders.
(This of course, borders on the absurd….it's like saying you only care about the cancer in my brain not the stuffy nose I get from allergies.)
It's been a real barf watching the slick enthusiasm of the democrats–mostly Hispanics, coming to the defense of Obama's impeachable crime. Even Obama himself, has come out and claimed that—as President, he has the right to let five millions illegals stay in America. Poor things, just needed some help from him, and when everyone was outraged he said this:
"Well, my response is pass a bill. Congress has a responsibility to deal with these issues and there are some things that I can't do on my own."
What? You just did!
So, you have to ask yourself, how do democrats get by with such falsehoods, lies, deceptions, and the republicans don't?
The answer is: Salemenship.
Let's take a look at some examples of great salesmen;
Have you ever wondered WHY Microsoft cornered the market on its product? Was it just because it was so good? Take a look at the man who sold it:
Steve Ballmer. (Pretty funny) Steve could sell you a ticket to the gas chamber, that's how good he is. (Wait…that's sort of what Obama did….)
And then there's THIS guy: Illinois Representative Luis Gutierrez, he was on Face the Nation this morning and he ran rings around his conservative opponent. Sure, ALL his arguments were BS, and full of holes, and his belief is that the illegals that are here, are as deserving to be here as you and I. And he sells that nonsense, like Steve Ballmer could sell you the next trip to the moon with China at the helm.
I kept yelling at the conservative guy to SAY something, REFUTE! Point out that the Canadians are not sending 100,000 unaccompanied kids into Idaho last time you looked…but no. He was totally boring, and Bob Schaeffer made sure Gutierrez had the most time. Here he admits that it's all about getting democratic voters..and makes it all sound wonderful.
And last but not least is this guy, Joel Osteen, not your typical Evangelist. I listened to part of his sermon today, and boy, was it ever clever. He basically said, that you WILL get rich and famous, IF your parents had sacrificed to the church, and believed in God, and this devotion will be paid down to you. The more you GIVE money to the church, and he threw in other worthy causes, the more YOU will benefit in your own life. God WILL reward you.
(Never mind that millions living in poverty had religious parents too.)
Not a new story: As old as time itself: Give to us, and YOU will benefit. The oldest sales pitch around: Starting when Mohammed decided to steal the limelight of Jesus by claiming Allah choose HIM to be the new messiah, (Forget that guy Jesus) and everyone would get 72 virgins if they'd just come on over to Islam!
Joel is doing the very same thing that politicians do every day…and to see the ultimate pinnacle of hypocracy…in this video, Oprah Winfrey (the richest women in the US) chastised him for having a grand piano in his house, is about as hypocritical on her part, as it gets. As if..what she sells every day is worth money, and what he sells, is not.
So it's all about salesmanship. And that's what the Republicans lack. Ronald Reagan SOLD America. He sold the dreams of our fathers. It's what we need.
Nobody Wishes we could all chip in and pay Steve Ballmer to sell America and her value to America again. (Steve? Are you bored with basketball yet?)
Do you think Jeb Bush OR Hillary Clinton would be able to sell themselves against a real salesmen with the talent of a Steve Ballmer or Joel Osteen?
And that's been the complaint of everyone: The conservatives do NOT have that revolutionary voice, that strong voice that can SELL you freedom.
The only one that I can think of that would have matched the salesmanship of a Steve Ballmer, was Andrew Brietbart. Can you imagine if he were still alive?
And isn't it fortuitous for the liberals that he's no longer with us.
Is there another out there as courageous? Nobody Wonders.
The Secrets of Bill Cosby, and Other Unknown Particles
Nobody Knows
Here in the "What you don't know is a good thing." U.S. universe, the daily chore of keeping the American public in complete ignorance of anything our government is doing, lets face it, takes trillions of dollars paid to Gruber experts, who will soon have some help from the FCC..but that's tomorrow's blog.
Today, we stand in awe of the many talented American people who can keep secrets forever…without taxpayer's help.
Like the very beloved American: Bill Cosby.
A regular plethora of women have come out in public to announce that Bill Cosby, that pillar of fatherhood, the man who never cusses, the epitome of decency and honesty…yes, he evidently liked to drug women, and then rape them. Or…so they claim. What we don't know is WHY these women waited so long to come forth with their stories. Nobody can figure that one out.
Bill…is not saying much, but he used to joke about having to drug women, and so, what else has he done we might ask?
Whoopi Goldberg is sticking up for Bill, but by the looks of the women who claimed Bill drugged and raped them, and the fact that most of them were white…he might be racist. Who knew? Will Bill Cosby join the Bill Clinton's of the world and continue to be loved?
Nobody Knows.
And Nobody knows WHY a black man raped a poor women in Wichita, Kansas, and then set her on fire–nude. A man came to her rescue, but she is severely burned. None of us here in St. Louis know when the riots in Ferguson are supposed to start, because the "news" of the great St. Louis riots of 2014, are all over the world.
They are keeping it a secret…..shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Will setting people on fire now be on the list of "cool things to do?" Nobody Knows, but I'm wearing my fireproof pajama's as long underwear, just to be safe.
And speaking of cool things to do:
Nobody Knows why in the world they voted on the Keystone Pipeline today, since the new Congress is not yet present. This is redundant and really stupid.
But, that's what our politicians are good at: stupidity. Just ask Jonathan Gruber. ALL the stupid democrats voted for Obamacare.
But why did they vote today? Was it because Mary Landrieu is DESPERATE to let her state knows that she really, really loves them?
While Democratic leaders agreed to help Landrieu by allowing a vote, they made it very difficult for the bill to pass — they insisted on 60 "yes" votes instead of just a simple majority.
The Senate fell just short of that threshold, as the final tally was 59-41.
I love those—- Oh my god…we lost by one vote!—-rigged affairs. Who knew the man whose grandfather started Standard Oil would be the one against it?
And speaking of secretive illuminate communists—-Somebody in Russia got this mysterious explosion on film, and Putin has not said a word about it.
Nobody Knows what it really is.—-But it sure blew up, and faded away quick.
Any ideas? One commentor said he thought it was a particle beam weapon…because Putin's has secretive weapons that are WAY superior to anything the United States has, but he only hints at his new arsenal.
Obama, on the other hand, says he did NOT meet Jonathan Gruger at the White House, 27 times. And how could he have?
Nobody Knows. 'President" Obama is as mysterious as an explosion that flames bright, then fizzles away. Frankly, he's all fizzle now. I'm ready for the fizzle to dissipate into a slimy blob.
And so the world continues down the "You do not need to know unless we tell." you path.
Next week, we ask the questions of why is it that our President can commit fraud, and not go to jail?
Nobody Knows, but just the fact that nobody has asked this question, makes you want to go driving on a long lonely road in Russia, singing, "Zip de do dah"….."Zip pe de daaay!" "My oh my what a wonderful day! "
MoveOn.Org Sends out Robert Reich to Put FEAR in Women Voters—Yes, Hillary, it's true!
Nobody Reports.
Just a few days ago, at a campaign stump in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton said this:
So what really, when you strip it all away, is the Republican agenda for the rest of this election?" she said. "It's what it's been from the beginning. It's fear. It's trying to instill fear. They're staking everything on it. Fear is the last resort of those who have run out of ideas and run out of hope."
Of course, that's exactly what Robert Reich is doing in this video, he is using fear because the democratic party have no ideas. They have been in charge and the country is a mess.
Robert is trying to SCARE women to go vote against Republicans. He draws a poor little stick women, and says that Republicans have a war on women. Obama talked about it in the LAST election, then right after the election, that war disappeared…..notice that?
Women might have to go back to paying for their own abortions and contraceptives! The country will simply fall apart!
And that might be a real threat when you consider that..the democrats have destroyed private enterprise…and women without government jobs are doomed to poverty!
So, if you are not lucky enough to have a government job, your wages are barely enough to pay for that Apple 5 I Phone. This could get…scary.
Robert then goes to point two: Equal Pay. Every woman I know personally, makes just as much as a man, if not more. Hillary Clinton being an excellent example.
Can the lies get worse?
Yes they can! The poor women working at fast food restaurants won't get that raise says Robert. Not that they need it, because most of them are getting food stamps, and other goodies. If the economy improved they could actually get better paying jobs! God forbid THAT happen.
What should women REALLY fear? Open borders that bring in thousands of new diseases like polio, TB, killer viruses like Ebola, and Obama has plunked these kids down in every state. YOUR kid could be next to get TB. That's fear.
Open borders: Where ISIS can come into your town, set up camps, and Mosques and turn your city into a training camp waiting for the orders to destroy you. And your politicians, protect them, NOT you. In fact, they do this in every nation. What makes you think they will leave YOU alone? Do you really want your daughter to be submissive to Sharia Law someday?
Obamacare: You will no longer be able to afford care. Your deductable is about to skyrocket. Stock up on herbs, you won't be able to get sick. If you think free birth control pills cost a lot, wait until you have to pay for your kid's broken bone.
Illegal's will get discounts into the local college, you will have to pay full price.
Want a husband? Tough. Men are the new enemy, and Obama is your daddy. Have sex, not love, that's their plans for you. No love. No help. Just sex, and abortions. Sounds fantastic? Hey, vote democrat. It's your choice.
You have to wonder why the REAL fears of our economy being destroyed by democrats are just "fear mongering"—- but the rather petty and minor fear of making some man use a condom, is not.
Oh…democratic men must not want to wear condoms. I get it now.
What did you say? Oh…I see —-what IF you get pregnant?
Your life…is over. No man is going to help you out.
But be not afraid dear liberal, abortions will still be legal, and you can always get money from Planned Parenthood, and according to Obama…you will probably not get Ebola.
Unless of course, you are a nurse.
By the way, Moveon.org is sending this video to every liberal women in America.
Let's hope they are not all that stupid.
Nobody's Email: The Best of Times, Part Two
Nobody Gets Email
I just got this from my liberal friend, JR, who grew up in the fifties, and he just loves this video.
If you like classic CARS, and great old songs, you will enjoy this. I grew up with the Beatles…but I have had to sing every single one of those songs at one time or other when working on a job.
And believe it or not, Roy Orbison is hard to sing…even for a girl.
Be sure to catch the car whose trunk holds the top. (Any of you guys know who made that car?)
(Thanks to JR)
It's the Culture Stupid….
Nobody Wins
Many of you may think I'm older than Mt. Rushmore when I say that, after watching this video, I had to go get out my Shirley Temple movies.
I wanted to dose myself in bubble bath, and burn every single Halloween Princess costume ever made. I will never look at Snow White quite the same way ever again.
Uh…did you get that subliminal message too? Did you NOT want to do these young girls a real favor, and give them all shock treatments so that they can FORGET what they just did?
You have to laugh, at the very first comment: The last thing any of the feminists are— are strong. They can't even buy their own birth control pills. They need Daddy Obama to give them a phone, food stamps, and permission to ask for a raise.
I hate to tell the liberal feminists their own history, but guess what? Your feminist movement REALLY backfired girls. While good men were going to the moon, you were fighting for the right to get nude, and have stoned sex in the mud at Woodstock.
Congratulations! You won! We now no longer have a space program, but we have little girls that will grow up to run political campaigns, and one IS just about to neuter the country forever.
We can now ride bikes with thongs on.
We see more sex and gore coming out of Hollywood and now our teachers can talk about sex to our children—it's beyond a sexual revolution…it's the party at the bottom of Mt. Sinai on steroids. But… Guess what? You played RIGHT into the boy's hands, you stupid morons.
You wanted to be equal? Well, every woman NOW has the right to be 'whores' just like the men. And now your daughters can continue in that lovely right.
You've come a long way baby.
What's that I hear you saying? Men shouldn't treat you like sluts? It's not fair that they look at your boobs and ass?
But you want to look like Miley Cyrus, sooooo…tell me how that fits into reality again?
We just heard that the women are feeling scared in America. Obama isn't 'protecting ' THEM!
I'm sorry. You didn't have a father to protect you? And WHY is that? (Be thankful you were born.)
Do you consider Hillary a feminist? Do you think Hillary will protect you? Uh…just like she protected her best gay friend in Benghazi? Like she protected all the women that Bill abused?
So, the sign of a true feminist is one who enables her serial rapist husband to continue his sexual appetite though-out their marriage. That's what Hillary did. A real feminist would have left him—WAY back in Arkansas.
But it doesn't matter, Hillary I've heard can really cuss.
The most important point we should get out of this video is that it shows us just how culturally low the whole democratic party really is: They truly are: Classless.
Mark Stein said it perfectly last week…You can't have a conservative government with a liberal culture.
In other words, even if the government is flooded with conservatives, you will still see Bayonne flapping her 'ass' on TV, and more classless politicians and vulgarity— America is falling deeper into the cesspool of rapper, black violence, drugs, and sex in an American revisited Sodom and Marxist Gomorrah…every one chasing after that golden Apple I-Phone 22.
And the biggest hypocrisy in this whole thing? The video was made to sell T-shirts that say..
Are you ready for this big feminist statement?
"Girls just want to have fun!"
In other words, be a powerful women, got out there and fuck all the men, as democrats do.
Machines Replace Bartenders…Are We Ready?
Nobody FLashes
Robot Bartender to Set Sail On Cutting-Edge Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship
Have you gotten used to pumping your own gas yet? So—what do you think about your local Bartender being replaced by a machine?
No more great dirty jokes, no more sympathetic shoulders, no more Tom Cruise look-a-likes tossing the ladies their favorite drinks, no more ladies in revealing tops that you can watch on a lonely night, while dreaming of taking her home.
No more complaining that the bartender is cheating you on that shot and you are just drinking coke with just an ounce of rum instead of a shot.
Bar owners will be ecstatic to know, that their bartender cannot skim off the cash register any more.
No more college kids making money to put themselves though school…those jobs will soon be gone.
It's here: The Robotic Bartender.
And they are starting to use them first: on Royal Caribbean:
The ship will implement the Makr Shakr, a drink-making robot that debuted last year at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. Guests order their drink from a tablet and pay by tapping their electronic SeaPass cards; once the drinks is paid for, the robot mixes it and delivers to the guest via a conveyor belt. Royal Caribbean has spliced Bionic Bar renderings with footage of the Makr Shakr in action, so if you missed the robots the first time around, watch them at work here:
You won't have to tip, but you CAN be sure, the prices on your menu will not be cheap. And while you get drunk, MAYBE that sexy robot behind the bar will start looking pretty good, and you could slip it a key to your hotel room, and maybe you will get a visit to your room, and that will be another robot.
But, here' s the good news! You can now buy your own home robot bartender for just $5,000! (Even a non-drinker like me would love one of those.)
Why go to the local bar? Why waste gas money? In fact, have your friends over and charge them for drinks from your new robot bartender buddy! Whose going to know?
And if you want to get more for your buck, you can get a more efficent model for $160,000.
If the machine breaks down, you can always go down to the local pub and get your drink from a person who REALLY cares, and will serve you your glass of wine in a beautiful wine goblet instead of a paper cup.
At least…for now.

I am enjoying learning to cook with the induction. This range has cut my kitchen time in half by ease of use and quickness of cooking. The oven gives a very even bake. The only design flaw I have encountered so far is that both large cooking eyes are in the back but it is my preference to have one large and one small eye in front and back. If you are thinking about induction do not hesitate. Thank you Maytag for a great product.

This range COULD be absolutely amazing! Induction cooking is super fast, very easy cleanup, and quick recovery. But my issues have been with the induction controls-when I'm baking, the induction control panel starts beeping VERY LOUDLY about every 10 seconds, and the induction buttons won't even turn on the cooktop. This is truly annoying and lasts until the oven sufficiently cools down. Should you not be able to cook on the cooktop and bake at the same time? (That is sarcastic because of course you should...) I've had the Maytag repairman out once to replace the entire control panel and it was working for about 2 months, then yesterday it started again. Makes me think there is an inherent design flaw in placing the controls on the actual cooktop surface, and it seems like somehow the control panel overheats during baking. Because I cannot handle these issues repeatedly, I will be working with my retailer for a replacement, as it has not even been 9 months since my purchase....Maytag needs to look at this issue and redesign the product to avoid these issues.

great product for the price w/ single design flaw.

Comments about Maytag 6.2 Cu Ft Stainless Steel Electric Freestanding Range:
have had no trouble so far after about 6 months. rapid boiling, good heat control. controls a bit hard to figure at first, but now no issues. any liquid spilling in the control area and you have to go back and re-set your selections. biggest problem is that there is a vent space between the 2 door glass panels. this vent is at the top of the door facing forward, and I have gotten liquid running down between the glass, where it is impossible to clean. really annoying. Even cleaning the vent w/ a rag too wet will send liquid into no-mans'-land. otherwise great range and nothing else really in the market at this price point.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Product, I could not be more pleased.
By Rick325
from The Villages Florida
Very simply put, I love it. My wife has never liked gas so 54 years of marriage I put up with the electric range I did not like. When I discovered induction I talked her into it seeing as how I use it more than she does anyway. It's response is the next thing to the instantaneous of gas. I have not burned anything yet and believe Maytag to be a product I can trust. We bought a Maytag stack-able washer dryer 5 years ago. My wife washes for the most part daily and she has not yet been able to wear it out.
The induction cooktop is one of many great features
By Raelynn
from Portland, OR
I was considering switching to gas range, but the salesman showed me how quickly the induction range gets hot and boils water then immediately cools down, which makes it easier to keep clean than other smooth cook tops. It saved the expense of piping the gas line to the kitchen. The convection oven is larger because there is no fan that sticks out from the back. It bakes evenly and adjusts the temperature. I was also surprised at how much I have been using the warming drawer feature. I have not tested the low temp/water oven selfclean system yet but I love the concept.
Love it!!
By LaRae
from Kennewick, WA
So far, and it has only been a few weeks, I absolutely love the Range. The baking is great, but best of all is the induction top. It boils water so fast. It took forever for our last stove to do that. Longevity is really important to me and I have only had this for a few weeks so we shall see.
I love this stove and I am a guy.
By Tuna31
from Spokane, WA
Never had induction before it's the best. Have not even come close to burning anything. The clean no knob looks on this stove is just the best. I never thought I would love a stove but I do. It's the best I love cooking on it.
Induction Value
By InductionJunkie
from NJ
I had a GE induction cooktop many years ago and loved it so I was very happy to see prices come down on induction ranges. When it came time to replace my ancient stove, I chose the Maytag as I thought it offered a good balance of features and price. I recommend it but with some reservations. First of all, the generic manual that came with it (it seems there's only one for all Maytag electric stoves) gave incorrect information on how to change the oven temperature but I figured it out. More problematic is the fact that the controls aren't very responsive when my fingers are wet. I don't know about everyone else, but my fingers are often wet when I'm cooking and it's frustrating if I can't quickly turn off the stove when something's about to boil over. There's also one thing that's designed badly. The stove top has to be turned on and then you have to select which burner to adjust before you can select the temperature. Each time you go to change the temperature, you have to first choose the burner, unless you're cooking on only one element. In that case, you don't have to readjust. The cooktop I had before had a separate control for each burner so the extra step of choosing the burner before adjusting a burner wasn't necessary. This extra step is annoying. That said, I'm really enjoying induction cooking again, including the incredibly fast time it takes to boil a big pot of water. It's also the safest choice as the burners get uncomfortably warm but won't burn your hand and automatically turn off if there's no pot on a burner or if one boils dry. Since it doesn't get very hot (the stove heats the pot which cooks the food, rather than cooking it directly), food is relatively easy to clean off the cooktop when it cools. I haven't had to clean the oven yet so I can't comment on that. As far as I'm concerned, induction offers the best of electric (easy clean up of the smooth cooktop) and gas cooking (instant temperature control). This stove is a good choice if you want to take advantage of induction technology without paying an arm and a leg but with a little more thought it could have been great.
This stove has exceeded my expectations
By Sadie102
from Cedar Falls, IA
I did quite a bit of research on induction stoves before I purchased this model. The stove has exceeded all of my expectations. Consistency of heat application and ease of cleanup is at the top of my list. I also appreciate the extra large window for viewing items as they bake. I haven't tried the oven cleaning feature as yet, but fully expect it to also be a 5-star performance. The only reason I gave features a "good" is because I have had trouble setting the timer without turning off the oven temp. Once I get accustomed to the button sequence, I'm sure it will be fine.
Impressive cook top
By wahoo
from Ft. Pierce
I grew up with gas, but our current house does not allow us that option. I could not stand the electric cook top that came with it. After a considerable amount of research, I decided induction was the way to go. Fate forced my hand when our oven shorted out. The Maytag was the best deal in stock locally. Turns out that it was an excellent choice. It boils water like nobody's business and the temperature control is instantaneous. The convection oven is also the most even oven we have ever baked with.
Love the induction cooktop!
By Camille33
from Iowa
Would highly recommend this stove. Love the induction...it is amazing to have water boil so quickly...in about 90 seconds. Plus, because the burners don't stay hot when stainless steel pan removed, nothing gets "burnt" nor "stuck" to the glass top, so is super easy to clean the cooktop. I've been using spray cleaner or water and a microfiber towel. No need for "blades" or special cooktop cleaner regularly like required on our previous glass cooktop! Also, cooktop controls are at the front of the cooktop, so never have to reach over hot food to adjust the burners. Inside, there are three oven racks and is spacious with narrow warming drawer underneath. We even cooked two 12 lb. turkeys side by side at Thanksgiving! Furthermore, the stainless steel/black color combo looks great with our granite countertops and stone/glass backsplash. Definitely a smart purchase!

Thank you x3 For agreeing 8D
I just read this in the forums:
Obviously you all don't remember how this happened. What happened was, apparently the exchange areas in the shops were giving out the wrong items. They gave out A halos instead of what was meant to be given out. (It was the ink, flowers, and trash apparently.) This one girl found out and exploited it. She got like 20 of them and threw them onto the marketplace. All at low prices of course. Then a mass trading pass ban happened. Gaia had to, to find out where they were coming from. Everyone who bought an A. Halo got their passes back and I believe the user got banned.
Hence why the price is as low as it is. It won't change now unfortunately because of that lovely incident.
Where the hell was I at?!?! ; w ;
