" You can take the tiger out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger! "
Hobbes, named for philosopher Thomas Hobbes, is the deuteragonist of the comics. He is Calvin's stuffed tiger and best friend, who, from Calvin's perspective, is a live tiger and real as anyone else in the strip. The interplay between the two title characters, and the question of whether Hobbes was real or not (Watterson said yes, but only Calvin can see that he's alive) is what gave the strip its unique personality that remained mostly untouched during its decade-long run.
Although he pronounces everything he says correctly, he is a bad speller (writing his name as "Hobs", great as "grat", and creek as "crk"); however, he might spell his name "Hobs" and creek as "crk" simply to shorten them because his writing is large (this is far less likely with his misspelling of "great", though he might pretend to misspell it to fool around with Calvin.). Hobbes often helps Calvin with his inventions, yet, since they all usually go wrong, Hobbes is usually reluctant to help.

Calvin and Hobbes in a game of "War."
Hobbes' first appearance was on November 18, 1985, where Hobbes was portrayed hanging upside-down from a tree after falling for a tuna sandwich-baited trap laid out by his close friend and co-star of the strip, Calvin. Since then, Hobbes was seen in almost every strip, following Calvin on his adventures, such as trips to the Jurassic and sledding down dangerous slopes. (although most of the time, he does so quite reluctantly).
By the time Bill Watterson wrote the Tenth Anniversary Book, he had changed his opinion about Calvin and Hobbes's first meeting, saying it was unnecessary and even detrimental to the feel of the strip. Much later, it is apparent in several strips that Hobbes and Calvin have known each other their whole lives, including when Calvin was an infant. This contradicted the first two strips, which show Calvin and Hobbes' first meeting.
One strip especially shows Calvin claiming that he didn't remember much of his infancy. While Calvin starts going on and on about how he suspects he was being brainwashed when he was very, very young, and asking nobody in particular what he remembered that someone wanted him to forget, Hobbes says "I seem to recall that you spent most of the time burping up." However, Calvin did not supposedly get Hobbes until he was six years old, which he of course remembers. There is also a possibility that Hobbes was around before Calvin. In one early strip, Hobbes says "That's because she wanted another tiger, not you!", implying that Hobbes was around before Calvin was born. Also, in an earlier strip, Hobbes once muses about some advice his father gave him. The reality of this comment is open to debate.
Hobbes shared his final appearance with Calvin in the final strip published on the 31st of December 1995. For the most part, Calvin and Hobbes converse and play together, revealing what is ultimately a deep friendship. They also frequently argue or even fight with each other, though their disagreements are generally short-lived.
Interestingly, Hobbes almost never calls Calvin by his name. Instead, he simply uses pronouns when speaking to his human counterpart.
Hobbes, unsurprisingly, always manages to score a retaliation at Calvin when he pulls a prank on him; for example, Calvin shooting him with a water pistol leads to Hobbes soaking Calvin with an inflated pool full of water. Calvin treats this as if Hobbes cannot take a joke.
Hobbes' first appearance in the strip.
Despite his terrible math skills, Hobbes is clearly smarter and wiser than Calvin. While he fell for a tuna sandwich trip, he admitted it was stupid for him to fall for such an obvious trap. Also, while Calvin bursts out shouting what he dislikes, Hobbes takes a softer tone when discussing things he hates.
Hobbes in a common state of mind regarding Susie Derkins
Whenever Calvin tries to do his homework, he asks Hobbes to do it for him, perhaps even in exchange for money, salmon, etc., but Calvin doesn't notice how Hobbes gets questions wrong (for example, when he didn't know a subtraction problem, he put in a geographical answer instead, specifically Atlanta, Georgia). Sometimes Hobbes eats the unwanted parts of Calvin's dinner while he works.
Hobbes also teaches Calvin in his math homework, but his theories are wrong (like in one comic where Calvin asks Hobbes what 3+8 is, so Hobbes teaches Calvin, "Well, first you assign the value as X. X always means multiply, so you take the numerator [that's Latin for "number eighter"], and you put that number on the other side. Then you take 3 from the other side, so what times 3 equals 8? The answer, of course, is six.") Hobbes still claims that his knowledge of "math theories" is from instinct.
Many of the strip's running gags are centered on Hobbes.
The most famous is Hobbes himself, and the question of his reality. To everyone in the strip apart from Calvin (and Hobbes himself of course), Hobbes is just a little stuffed tiger. But with Calvin's wild imagination, Hobbes springs to life. Is Hobbes really a stuffed animal? Or is he actually alive and kicking? Oddly, Hobbes seems to be bigger when he appears in front of Calvin.
Bill Watterson stated that he believes Hobbes to only be an example of different perspectives. He is not a figment of Calvin's imagination, but neither is he a stuffed animal that magically comes to life.
One of many instances where Hobbes pounces on Calvin.
Often Hobbes beats up Calvin with an energetic pounce-and-tackle attack, which leaves Calvin bruised and scraped up, but not seriously harmed (this is usually how Hobbes greets Calvin when he comes home from school or when he opens a can of tuna).
Hobbes takes great pleasure in his demonstrations of feline prowess, while Calvin expresses keen frustration at his inability to stop the attacks or explain his injuries to his skeptical parents (not even with a picture he took, for his dad thought Calvin had thrown Hobbes into the view of the camera).
Another frequently recurring theme is Hobbes' love affair with tuna, until he decided to get the more "environmentally friendly" swordfish steaks. Hobbes also has a liking for salmon.
Hobbes also refers to the infamous "Noodle Incident" quite often, much to Calvin's dismay. Calvin is very defensive about it and gets mad when Hobbes makes a reference.
Hobbes is very energetic and regularly pounces Calvin.
Always keep petting the tiger.
Hobbes is named after 17th-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who had what Watterson described as "a dim view of human nature." Thomas Hobbes is famous for his claim that humans' natural state is one of war, and that there "the life of man [is], solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Hobbes' personality does not match with the philosopher's worldview. Hobbes is much more rational and aware of consequences than Calvin but seldom interferes with Calvin's troublemaking beyond a few oblique warnings. After all, Calvin will be the one to get in trouble for it, not Hobbes. Hobbes is more playful, loyal, and kind. The only time he usually has doubts is with Calvin's imaginary inventions (such as his Time Machine and Transmogrifier), which he is a reluctant participant at best. Hobbes acts as a big brother figure to Calvin, as he has a little more common sense than Calvin.
Watterson based some of Hobbes' characteristics, especially his playfulness and attack instinct, on his own pet cat, Sprite. Hobbes takes great pride in being a feline and frequently makes wry or even disparaging comments about human nature, declaring his good fortune to lead a tiger's life. In Calvin's philosophical ramblings, it is evident that Hobbes is usually Bill Watterson's voice on the subject, whereas Calvin usually seems to echo the sentiments (or lack thereof) of modern America. It may otherwise be asserted that Calvin rather portrays an alter-ego of Watterson.
Artistic evolution
"Notice I'm more of a yellow ochre than a straight orange." -Hobbes
Hobbes certainly changed in appearance over the strip's run. At the beginning of the strip's run, Hobbes was slightly shorter, and his tufts of fur were less defined and shorter. His eyes also had more of a round shape, as opposed to the oval shape of later years. The most notable change, however, were the pads on Hobbes' hands. Hobbes began looking like his current self around mid-1989. In earlier years, Bill Watterson drew the pads on Hobbes' hands as a reminder that they were really paws, but later removed them as he found them to be visually distracting.
From Calvin's point of view, Hobbes is a walking, talking, bipedal tiger, much larger (and often much stronger) than Calvin and full of his own attitudes and ideas. But when the perspective shifts to any other character, readers see merely a little stuffed tiger. This is, of course, an odd dichotomy and leaves in question the nature of Hobbes' reality.
Magic vs. imagination
Hobbes appears the way Calvin views him in Susie's company
Many readers assume that Hobbes is either a product of Calvin's imagination, or a doll that comes to life when Calvin is the only one around. However, both of these theories are incorrect. As Watterson explains in the Tenth Anniversary Book, "Hobbes is more about the subjective nature of reality than dolls coming to life": thus there is no concrete definition of Hobbes' reality.
Watterson explained: "Calvin sees Hobbes one way, and everyone else sees Hobbes another way." Hobbes' reality is in the eye of the beholder. The so-called 'gimmick' of Hobbes is the juxtaposition of Calvin and Hobbes' reality and everyone else's, with the two rarely agreeing. Hobbes is supposed to represent how imaginative kids see their stuffed animals.
There has been more than one instance of Hobbes appearing the way Calvin sees him around another person. One instance is when Calvin loses Hobbes in the first Calvin and Hobbes book, Hobbes is seen as a tiger in the company of Susie Derkins. However, she was facing the other way when it occurred (see picture on right). In a Sunday strip from the same book, the car stops going and Calvin and Hobbes beep the horn hoping for someone to come help. Hobbes is seen as a tiger when Calvin's mother is there, but she isn't looking. There is one strip when Calvin is fighting with Hobbes' and we see Susie's perspective in one panel, but some people think it was Calvin seeing him transform back into his stuffed animal form and expressing confusion.
At one point, Calvin stated that Hobbes was steering, however since Susie was there, the imagination became to 'realism', and Hobbes was riding in the back as a stuffed tiger, displaying a hint about whether Hobbes is real or not.
However, it is possible that Calvin took the helm at the last second because Hobbes did a poor job of steering. The panel format, however, makes this impossible to confirm or deny.
Sometimes Hobbes breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the reader, such as when Calvin tries to parachute from his house's roof ("His mom's going to have a fit about those rose bushes"). On other occasions, it is difficult to imagine how the "stuffed toy" interpretation of Hobbes is consistent with what the characters see. For example, he "assists" Calvin's attempt to become a Houdini-style escape artist by tying Calvin to a chair. Calvin, however, cannot escape, and his irritated father must undo the knots, all the while asking Calvin how he could do this to himself. In a rare interview, Watterson explained his approach to this situation:
Calvin's dad finds him tied up and the question remains, really, how did he get that way? His dad assumes that Calvin tied himself up somehow, so well that he couldn't get out. Calvin explains that Hobbes did this to him and he tries to place the blame on Hobbes entirely, and it's never resolved in the strip. Again I don't think that's just a cheap way out of the story. I like the tension that creates, where you've got two versions of reality that do not mix. Something odd has happened and neither makes complete sense, so you're left to make out of it what you want. (Richard Samuel West, "Interview: Bill Watterson", Comics Journal, February 1989.)
In response to the journalist's assumption that Hobbes was a figment of Calvin's imagination, Watterson responded,
But the strip doesn't assert that. That's the assumption that adults make because nobody else sees him, sees Hobbes, in the way that Calvin does. Some reporter was writing a story on imaginary friends and they asked me for a comment, and I didn't do it because I really have absolutely no knowledge about imaginary friends. It would seem to me, though, that when you make up a friend for yourself, you would have somebody to agree with you, not to argue with you. So Hobbes is more real than I suspect any kid would dream up. (Ibid.)
In another story, Susie Derkins has to stay at Calvin's house after school because her parents are working late. Calvin only finds this out on the way home; when Calvin and Susie reach the house, Hobbes is waiting by the door for Susie and wearing a tie. But the question is, how is Hobbes wearing the tie? Another instance of ambiguity is a strip in which Calvin imagines Hobbes and himself on the front page of many newspapers after winning a contest. Although these newspapers are clearly a figment of Calvin's imagination, Hobbes appears in "stuffed" form. Calvin has taken photographs of Hobbes, but on each occasion, when adults see the pictures, Hobbes appears as a stuffed toy. Also Hobbes pounces on Calvin when he arrives home from school. The issue remains about how Calvin would hurt himself as such.
Another theory
One probable theory as to Hobbes' existence springs from the first two strips. In these strips, immediately after Calvin caught Hobbes he takes him home and asks his father what to do with him, to which his father replies "take it home and stuff it." It is clearly depicted that Calvin mistakes this and feeds Hobbes. From this springs the belief that perhaps the reason that Calvin's parents don't see Hobbes as real is that they just assume he's stuffed. After all, psychology has shown that people may not always see something that's plainly obvious if it conflicts with what they are inherently predisposed to believe. Thus, the reason people don't see Hobbes as real is that their brains can't grasp that he could be real and that it takes Calvin's complex imagination to believe it.
TVTropes calls this Scully Syndrome. A character, seeing something in conflict with what he/she believes, censors it out. The Trope Namer is The X-Files: Agent Scully is a staunch skeptic and therefore refuses to believe in alien life at first, even when it's plainly obvious and there's hard evidence in front of her.
This is, in fact, the only rational explanation.
Whenever Hobbes pounces, Calvin clearly is dirty, beaten up, and anything you would expect from a six-foot tiger ramming into you at 20 mph.
Hobbes always accompanies Calvin to the bus stop, and almost always returns home unaccompanied. However, in one strip, Calvin's mother was seen taking Hobbes home.
When Hobbes cut Calvin's hair, the effects were clearly noticeable by anyone.
Hobbes once tied Calvin to a chair after Calvin claimed he would escape and be the "Next Houdini." Calvin was unable to escape. His hands were tied to the arms of the chair, making it impossible for him to have done it himself, as the endpoint to tighten the knot was on the backrest.
When Susie was invited to stay at Calvin's house for a day, Calvin was not informed until his mom told him. And yet, Hobbes was waiting at the door with a tie. If Hobbes was a figment of Calvin's imagination, then 1) how did he know Susie would be coming and 2) how did he put on the tie?
Many people feel that the blurred reality between Hobbes' two forms is both amusing and philosophical. Hobbes is often the voice of reason, contrasting Calvin's manic impulsiveness. Readers are left to wonder if this rationality is in Hobbes as a distinct personality, or in Calvin as a kind of conscience. In the end, the question becomes less about absolute truth and more about different versions of reality: the nature of Hobbes' existence was never a puzzle to be solved, but rather a subtle comment on the power of imagination, and on the similar power of a lack thereof. All in all, Hobbes is real if one believes he is.
Favorite and Least Favorite Foods
Hobbes's favorite food could be people (perhaps with steak sauce, as Calvin once remarked), although he never seems too tempted to eat Calvin, so this may not actually be true.
hobbes trying chocolate frosted sugar bombs for the first time
Hobbes is an avid fan of seafood. Many times Hobbes asks for tuna, but in one strip he asks for swordfish steaks instead. He also really enjoys salmon. As for his least favorite food, Hobbes says that chocolate frosted sugar bombs "[make] my heart skip" and remarks that its "SWEET!!"[1] He much prefers eating toast for breakfast as opposed to Calvin eating cereal.
Hobbes' I.Q. is debatable. In some comics, he seems as if he was an utter genius. However, in the first strip, he contradicts this, saying "We're kind of stupid that way", in response to Calvin saying "Tigers will do anything for a tuna fish sandwich". Also, in many other comics, especially in comics where Calvin has a math problem, he is as dumb as Calvin and makes up math formulas such as "Y as in Y do we care?". However, he may just be fooling Calvin, shown with his reaction to Calvin believing three dimes was less than a quarter: "I think you better study harder." Hobbes also seems to have some knowledge of more advanced mathematics, referring at one point to imaginary numbers whilst helping Calvin with his math homework; he, however, appears to have no actual understanding for how these terms are used, or, indeed, what they mean.
Hobbes, in most cases, is in love with Susie Derkins, but mainly girls in general.
It's possible that Hobbes is older than Calvin, due to his infatuation with girls.
Hobbes is often so sarcastic to Calvin that he has to chase Hobbes madly with him 'Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!'-ing, most likely a reference to Tigger from "Winnie the Pooh." Also, in one strip, Hobbes says "Toodle-Doo" which could be another reference to Tigger, as that is something Tigger would say.
Hobbes often causes Calvin some problems. The examples are as followed: the time he tied Calvin up willingly to a chair; when he scratched the floor in "defeat"; when Hobbes eats like an animal, spreading mess everywhere; the time when he beat up Calvin for his lunch, and his daily pouncings when Calvin is coming home from school.
Hobbes is a specific breed of tiger - he is a Bengal Tiger.
Hobbes has once mentioned that he has/had a father. The rest of the information about Hobbes' family is unknown.
Hobbes doesn't like Calvin's cardboard box. He doesn't want to be "transmogrified or duplicated or whatever".
Hobbes often tries to get Calvin to stay out of trouble, as he would most likely see the downfall to Calvin's actions. Such as,
Stealing Susie's doll.
Fixing the sink by himself, (or simply using Dad's tools in general.)
Backing the car out of the garage without mom's permission.
or throwing a snowball in the house.
Unlike Calvin, Hobbes is not addicted to cartoons, or television altogether, though he will enjoy an occassional movie or nature documentary.
Unlike Calvin, Hobbes is very infatuated with women. He even fantasizes getting married to a nice woman.
Hobbes does not like Calvin's cereal, "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs", for he says that it makes his heart skip. He would rather eat toast for breakfast.
Hobbes' favorite food is seafood. Preferably tuna and salmon.
It is rumored that Calvin's parents put Hobbes in the trap as an "imaginary" friend.
Hobbes likes to read and occasionally draw on Calvin's comic books.
Hobbes always likes to surprise Calvin while Calvin says "I'm Home!" and Hobbes does his famous pounce.
Much like Calvin, Hobbes loves music.
It is unspecific when Hobbes and Calvin met. It appears as though they met after Hobbes was captured by Calvin in the first strip. A later strip contradicts this, with Hobbes remembering Calvin's behavior as an infant ("I seem to recall you spent most of your time burping up"), while another strip has him remember nothing about Calvin as a baby. It's also been said that Hobbes was just "a stuffed animal," given to little Calvin at his earliest age. Possibly, Calvin did not truly recognize Hobbes as a real tiger until he turned six (when the strip started.).
In comic strips where Hobbes' drawings are included, Bill Watterson usually signed "& Hobbes" next to his signature. This would appear as & Hobs.
Hobbes is shown to be in love with "those Tigress Babes they showed in the April issue", and also describes what he likes in women, saying "Redheads, (probably meaning nice dark red tigresses) green eyes, and long whiskers".
Its possible that Hobbes is older than Calvin.

Choir Boy è un'opera teatrale del drammaturgo e sceneggiatore Tarell Alvin McCraney, debuttata a Londra nel 2012.

Trama
Un gruppo di giovani studenti afroamericani del liceo Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys fanno fatica a venire a termini con la loro sessualità e con l'essere neri in un mondo razzista. Il protagonista Pharus Jonathan Young è uno studente brillante che ha ricevuto l'incarico di cantare l'inno della scuola in occasione della cerimonia dei diplomi, ma il compito ricevuto ha attirato su di lui episodi e insulti omofobi. Pharus viene convocato dal preside Marrow per parlare dell'accaduto, ma il ragazzo si rifiuta di rivelare il nome dei bulli per non violare il codice d'onore degli studenti. Il preside arriva addirittura a minacciarlo con l'espulsione dall'istituto, ma Pharus non confessa i nomi. Tuttavia, il giovane ha già pianificato una vendetta personale ai danni degli aggressori. Pharus è infatti il capo coro del coro gospel dell'istituto, un'istituzione antichissima e celebrata, di cui farne parte è motivo di vanto per gli studenti. In quanto capo coro, Pharus ha il diritto di scegliere i suoi coristi e congedare i cantori che non ritiene adattati, e nella prima riunione dell'anno caccia dal coro Bobby, il ragazzo che lo aveva umiliato. Nel corso dell'anno, Pharus deve tenere testa al comportamento aggressivo di Bobby, il nipote del preside, e conciliare gli impegni accademici con quelli del coro. Grazie all'aiuto di Mr. Pendleton, un insegnante bianco, riesce a stringere un'amicizia con gli studenti David, aspirante pastore, ed AJ, il suo compagno di camera atletico e sportivo.

Produzioni
Il debutto mondiale di Choir Boy è avvenuto al Royal Court Theatre di Londra il 4 settembre 2012 e l'opera è rimasta in cartellone fino al 6 ottobre dello stesso anno. Dominic Cooke curava la regia e il cast comprendeva: Dominic Smith (Pharus), David Burke (Mr Pendleton), Gary MacDonald (preside Marrow), Eric Kofi-Abrefa (Bobbi), Kwayedza Kureya (Junior Davis), Khali Best (Anthony Justin) ed Aron Julius (David Heard).

Commissionata dal Manhattan Theater Club, la pièce ha debuttato sulle scene statunitensi il 2 luglio 2013 con la regia di Trip Cullman e un cast che annoverava Jeremy Pope (Pharus), Chuck Cooper (preside Marrow) ed Austin Pendleton (Mr Pendleton). L'allestimento, rimasto in scena fino all'11 agosto, ha ricevuto recensioni molto positive ed è stato candidato all'Outer Critics Circle Award alla migliore opera teatrale. Pope tornò ad interpretare Pharus anche nelle successive produzioni dirette da Cullman all'Alliance Theatre di Atlanta e alla Geffen Playhouse di Los Angeles nel 2014.

Nel gennaio 2019, Choir Boy ha debuttato a Broadway con Pope, Cooper e Pendleton nei ruoli precedentemente interpretati sei anni prima, con grandi plausi di critica e pubblico. La pièce è stata candidata a quattro Tony Award, tra cui migliore opera teatrale e migliore attore protagonista in un'opera teatrale a Pope. L'opera è rimasta in cartellone per 72 repliche fino al 10 marzo.

Ancient European Religions Do Not Have a Place for Whites
by Thomas Cross
Whites Should Not Seek Belonging in Orthodoxy
Rome Is Not the White Man's Home
There Is No Place in the Alt Right for Mormonism
Islam Is No Mecca for White People
Ancient Aryan Religion Is Not the Way Home
In this series we've been briefly surveying the major religious institutions to which pro-white people have turned for solace during our present-day spiritual exile. Without exception, all of the major religious groups we've discussed have outright rejected those of us who do not wish to see our cultural and racial lineage destroyed. White genocide seems to be prerequisite for institutional existence these days. Even those few of us who dissent from this status quo on an individual basis on social media or websites have been getting banned from public discourse lately. Thus it is unsurprising that we haven't found a church or other religious body interested in giving spiritual, practical assistance to us few dissidents to the anti-white system.
The anti-white animus of the day pervades not only the more stodgy religious bodies such as the old churches, but also exotic ones from abroad. Does it pervade the Western sects that pride themselves on rejecting the degenerate status quo? Does it pervade the religion that has some of the best claims to being the white man's religion: neo-paganism?
For many centuries our European ancestors practiced paganism. We know this is the case because the histories of the conversion of the European peoples to Christianity have been well-documented. Ergo, pagans can argue that paganism is the original white man's religion, and that paganism is the right religion to practice in order to fuel a renaissance among white people. That the major Christian institutions of the West have uniformly rejected white people in their desire to exist as a distinct people group serves as a helpful complement to this line of argument. It is true that since the middle of the twentieth century, Christian institutions have been in the cultural vanguard of white genocide in the West. Should we embrace the old gods in response?
For the purposes of this series, the question is not whether this or that religion can make an argument as to why it is theoretically better for white people than all the other ones. Nor is it enough to argue about historical roots. What this series is aimed at is discussing whether a religious institution here and now provides spiritual and practical protection to white people unashamed of their heritage, who resist the globalist forces behind white genocide. Does the neo-pagan world offer such assistance to pro-whites?
Unfortunately, no. Despite the fact that some of the Alt Right's top thinkers strongly support neo-paganism in one form or another (e.g. heathenry, Ásatrú, or Odinism) no major neo-pagan institutions would proudly admit to having them, or masses of people like them, in their membership. The neo-pagan world is much like the Christian world in the sense that its organizations and leadership runs the gamut from mild political correctness to clown-world afficionados who counter-signaled the Alt Right hard after Charlottesville. Just as there are cuckservative Presbyterian and Baptist churches that frown on homosexuality but tolerate feminism and increasingly embrace the #BlackLivesMatter agenda, there are neo-pagan groups that offer relatively sane people a spiritual home. Just as there are rainbow flag-waving, butch dyke Episcopalian and Methodist priests, there are tie-dyed envirosexual neo-pagans who worship the goddesses, vote Green, and "honor Heather Heyer as an ancestral hero…a modern Valkyrie." The presence of freaks in either the Christian or neo-pagan camp really shouldn't be used as an argument for or against either faith.
What's decisive for our purposes at present, though, is that the neo-pagan world doesn't have any major religious institutions that welcome unashamed white people. In making this statement, I want to put "major" into context. Modern surveys of the U.S. neo-pagan population puts it at around one million people. At one million people, the U.S. neo-pagan population is smaller than even the small, dying, liberal Protestant denominations like the Episcopalians. So to be honest, no neo-pagan group is going to classify as "major." Even the Mormons have 6.6 million adherents in the U.S., and they pale in comparison to the larger churches we've surveyed thus far.
Additionally, that one million-small population includes everybody from Buffy the Vampire Slayer-LARPing Wiccans, and Harry Potter-style magick fans, to out-and-out heathens. So again, there really aren't any "major" institutions in the neo-pagan world. But of the small institutions that do exist, all but a few take the side of antifa.
However, there is one influential neo-pagan organization that has a place for pro-white advocates. Stephen McNallen was one of the original mid-twentieth-century revivalists of European paganism, and his organization the Asatru Folk Assembly is so pro-white that all the right people hate it.
But even this well-organized and -attended group numbers less than 10,000 people. We've got a long way to go before pro-white neo-pagans will have something that compares to the First Baptists and St. so-and-so's we are accustomed to seeing at the intersections of busy roads in most downtowns. The organization has been working on buying an old grange hall in California. Again, that is progress — but it is a far cry from being able to provide spiritual and practical cover to our dispersed peoples. That is not a criticism, it's just an acknowledgment that there is much, much further to go. In a future installment, we'll consider the place of such spiritual entrepreneurship. I believe it is vital to our survival as a people of faith. It is a problem that we Protestants and members of other religions face as well.
In this installment, we've identified a small but historically significant group in the neo-pagan world that is pro-white. However, we still have not found one with the kind of accessibility, organization, presence, and funding that would enable us to all show up next week for worship and end our spiritual and social isolation.
A Facebook group does not deliver the same degree of spiritual or emotional value as a well-funded and well-attended religious organization owning a convenient place of worship. Hanging out online is not the same as rubbing shoulders in the pews and in the fellowship hall. What I pray for regularly is that God will bring about a world in which we move from pen pals and online LARPers to pillars of our local churches and battle buddies in foxholes.
Having surveyed the rest of the religious landscape and determined that none of the other major religious institutions are willing to aid our people, it is now time to turn to the Protestant world to find out if the Bible-thumpers are any different. Are there any major Protestant organizations friendly to the pro-white cause?
What about Protestantism?

Inside Fall/Winter 2019
Brooklyn Metal Works
Photos by On White Wall Inc.
Not many places in the U.S. combine workshop, education and exhibition space, but Brooklyn Metal Works does. Part studio, part educational center, it aims to advance metalsmithing and critical dialogue among those who practice, write and invest time and energy in the field.
Co-founders and owners Erin Daily '02g (Metal) and Brian Weissman '02g (Metal) feel that the three-pronged approach is important to create the studio of their dreams, where no one part exists autonomously, and education and exhibition can intermingle.
"Quite frankly, it just made sense," said Daily. "In our dream space, all of these aspects existed interdependent to the whole. Unfortunately, in the larger world, these parts are often fragmented in disadvantageous ways. It is important to us that people know where work like what we exhibit is made and it is important for students to see how certain skills can be applied to finished works."
In 2011, Daily and Weissman came to Prospect Heights to open Brooklyn Metal Works, a 4,000-square-foot converted factory floor where individuals can rent a studio, or even just a bench.
The semi-private setup encourages metalsmiths to engage with each other, a practice Daily and Weissman remember from their time together at SUNY New Paltz.
Brian Weissman '02g (Metal) and Erin Daily '02g (Metal) stand in their spacious studio and work space in Brooklyn.
"We both connected with the sense of belonging and active imagination found at the College. It's where our relationship began and where the idea for our shop was born," said Weissman.
The couple seeks to build upon the sizeable and diverse jewelry and metals community and foster further connections among artists. They offer concept-based classes and gallery space to promote artists, designers and makers. They also provide a wide inventory of tools and equipment in a safe environment.
"The collaborative setting is designed to foster exploration, encourage experimentation, and strengthen the knowledge base of all involved," said Daily.
Daily's interest in metal began more than 20 years ago, when she instinctively grabbed a pair of her dad's needle-nosed pliers to reconfigure her costume jewelry into something more to her liking.
"I honestly haven't stopped making art since," said Daily. "Though my tools, materials and techniques have certainly been upgraded."
Daily earned a bachelor's degree in metal from the University of Kansas before spending several years working in her own studio, training and working as a bench jeweler. She later returned to graduate school at New Paltz to investigate the concepts and ideas of contemporary craft and metalsmithing.
"My graduate studies at SUNY New Paltz helped me hone my understanding of critical theory, explore new concepts and techniques, and strengthen my commitment to building a stronger community and audience for contemporary metal," she said.
In addition to making art, Daily has taught at SUNY New Paltz, the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Snow Farm at the New England Craft Center, and the 92nd St. Y. She is also a member the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) and regularly attends their national conferences. She currently teaches at Parsons in the School of Constructed Environments.
We both connected with the sense of belonging and active imagination found at the College. It's where our relationship began and where the idea for our shop was born."
Brian Weissman '02g (Metal)
Weissman earned a bachelor's degree in technical theater and art studio from SUNY Geneseo before entering the graduate program at New Paltz. He has taught at The New School, the University of the Arts, the 92nd St. Y, SUNY New Paltz, The New England Craft Center and at The Fashion Institute of Technology. His artwork has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and can be seen in Silver Magazine, Metalsmith Magazine, 500 Judaica, and most recently, the 16th Silver Triennial catalog.
"I enjoy working with traditional metalsmithed objects to examine how their socially, politically and culturally inherited meanings and values can be distorted through a constantly changing world," said Weissman "Through these explorations I try to find the humor and beauty in the objects I later create."
Brooklyn Metal Works featured on Brooklyn Information & Culture TV.
Despite their individual and combined successes, according to Daily and Weissman, Brooklyn Metal Works is still growing. They have plans for an artist-in-residence program and recently opened a brick and mortar store for their online retail shop, "Specific Gravity," which features curated work by artists working at the studio.
"This is different from our gallery in that here we are mostly focused on fine jewelry, both production and one-of-a-kind pieces," said Weissman. "It's located near the studio on Vanderbilt Avenue."

The couple is also always looking to expand cooperative relationships with other groups and institutions and hopes to develop even more creative projects that will take them off site into New York City and beyond.
"We have so many long and short-term plans that it makes me anxious," said Weissman. "We are developing a core curriculum; we are building more relationships with other institutions and groups, and we are looking to offer grants and scholarships, and maybe even host a symposium. Time is moving so quickly these days, and we have so much to do. It makes it hard to sit still."

Coco Jafro
Coco Jafro is a hard hitting force to be reckoned with, unifying the masses with their electrified, funky global rhythms. They bring together the schools of Funk, Soul, Jazz and Afro-beat providing a unique sound that flows from a foundation of deep set grooves. Moroccan born, lead guitarist Amine Said's musical roots provide an exclusive sound with the proven power to instantly synchronize your soul forcing the crowd to bend and sway.
In 2016 Coco Jafro added a BreakOut West nomination for Urban Artist Of The Year and CBC Searchlight regional finalist ranking to their arsenal; alongside a Van Isle Music Award nomination for 'Best Live Act', numerous festival performances, North African tour and 3 EPs. With their unique brand of "Vintage Funk & 21st Century Urban Cool" (World Beat Canada), the incredibly passionate and dedicated Coco Jafro return to the studio inspired and eager to lay down their anticipated World infused 4th album; set to be released early 2017.
"It's a warm summer night. The stars are bright and a hint of Coco Jafro travels on a soft breeze. Ohh yeah.
Coco Jafro isn't the latest fragrance from Chanel, it's a new Vancouver band that nestles in the sonic embrace of soul, funk, R and B, and the global rhythms of Africa, the Americas and beyond.
Fronted by the gifted Montreal-born singer, Karina Morin, this group immediately hooks you with their deep grooves and alluring vibe. The players all love what they do and they love doing it for an audience. Their international perspective comes naturally by way of band mates who were born in exotic locales including Morocco, France, Mozambique, Quebec and British Columbia's own "City of Rainbows", Prince Rupert.
Their original material is gaining attention and airplay on CBC and their live shows include covers by the likes of Prince, an obvious influence on these talented musicians.
I have only witnessed Coco Jafro live once, as a 6-piece. As great as that was, the full band must make quite a sound. The full ensemble includes Amine Said (guitar), Karl Oystensen (keyboards),Karina Morin (vocals), Dominic Conway (tenor sax), Jean Le Doujet (bass), Sangito Bigelow (percussion), and Chris Cuoto (drums)."


People with high blood sugar stand to experience worse long-term cognitive decline than their healthy peers, even if they're not technically type 2 diabetic, new research suggests.
The findings are not the first linking diabetes with impaired cognitive functions, but they're some of the clearest yet showing blood sugar isn't just a marker of our dietary health – it's also a telling predictor of how our brains may cope as we get older.
"Our findings suggest that interventions that delay diabetes onset, as well as management strategies for blood sugar control, might help alleviate the progression of subsequent cognitive decline over the long-term," explain the researchers, led by epidemiologist Wuxiang Xie from Imperial College London.
The researchers sourced their data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, an ongoing assessment of the health of a representative sample of the English population aged 50 and older, which began in in 2002.
For its analysis, the team tracked 5,189 participants – 55 percent women, with an average age of 66 years – assessing their level of cognitive function between 2004-2005 to 2014-2015, spanning several waves of the ELSA study.
In addition, the researchers monitored participants' levels of HbA1c, aka glycated haemoglobin, a measure of blood sugar control over time.
While all of the participants showed some level of cognitive decline over the course of the assessment due to simply getting older, the researchers found those with greater levels of HbA1c experienced a steepened rate of decline, tracked by tests measuring their cognitive, memory, and executive function abilities.
Other studies have previously shown this kind of link between diabetes and the cognitive decline seen in conditions like Alzheimer's disease – but never before by using HbA1c.
Interestingly, though, the new findings go beyond just re-establishing the link between diabetes and cognitive decline – because the HbA1c trend was observed in participants regardless of whether or not they were technically diabetic.
Healthy people's HbA1c levels are lower than 42 millimoles per mole (mmol/mol, or below 6 percent), while diabetic people show readings of 48 mmol/mol or above (6.5 percent or above).
In the middle, people with the precursor condition prediabetes (high blood sugar, but not considered diabetic) have readings between 42 to 47 mmol/mol (6 to 6.4 percent).
What the researchers found is that the associated rate of cognitive decline isn't limited to just those who are diabetic, but to higher HbA1c counts generally.
"Our findings show a linear correlation between circulating HbA1c levels and cognitive decline, regardless of diabetic status," the researchers explain.
It's a bit too early to know what the dietary implications are for people concerned about their blood sugar levels – suffice to say it's another compelling reason why we should all be watching what we eat so as to prevent developing type 2 diabetes– although even if you do, some clever choices could help you reverse that diagnosis.
"One strength of this large study is that it followed people over time to show a faster decline in memory and thinking in those with poorer blood sugar control," says Alzheimer's Research UK's Chief Scientific Officer, David Reynolds.
While researchers continue to explore what those mechanisms could be, it's becoming clearer that none of us, diabetic or otherwise, should assume diets high in sugar are necessarily harmless to both body and mind.
"Just because you don't have type 2 diabetes doesn't mean you can eat whatever carbs you want," epidemiologist Rosebud Roberts from the Mayo Clinic, who wasn't involved in the study, told The Atlantic.

Striking Wabtec workers in Erie to receive unemployment pay
Jim Martin @ETNMartin
Ultimately, decision-makers in Harrisburg decided that the nine-day work stoppage met the definition of a lockout.
The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of American at the former GE Transportation plant in Erie insisted that their nine-day work stoppage that started Feb. 26 was a lockout.
Their employer, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp., which had purchased the company a day before workers walked off the job, said there was no truth to that claim and that workers were free to return to their jobs.
As a result, unemployment compensation claims filed by Wabtec workers have been approved. That means workers who filed claims will be paid for at least part of the time they walked the picket line.
Tim Bader, a spokesman for Wabtec, registered disapproval on behalf of the company, which is in the midst of negotiations with its 1,700 union members in Erie.
"We are disappointed in the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry's Office of Unemployment Compensation's decision to award employees on strike in Erie from February 26-March 6 with unemployment insurance," Bader said. "Wabtec maintains its position that UE employees chose to strike and were encouraged repeatedly to come back to work. As the decision is inconsistent with Pennsylvania law — which states that employees on strike are not eligible for unemployment benefits — Wabtec will be filing an appeal."
Lindsay Bracale, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Labor & Industry, said she could not comment on the process or the rationale used to determine that Wabtec employees would be eligible for benefits.
"Federal and state laws to protect individuals prevent the department from sharing information about specific unemployment compensation claims," she said in an emailed response to a question.
Scott Slawson, president of UE 506, did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday or Wednesday.
As the work stoppage began, however, Slawson was urging workers to file for unemployment compensation and to view what was taking place as a lockout.
"We are serious about that," he said on Feb. 27. "We offered to work under existing terms and conditions and the company said no. It's a joint merger between General Electric and Wabtec. We view it as a clear successor."
State Rep. Pat Harkins, of Erie, D-1st Dist., said his office had been encouraging people to apply and helped a number of workers with their claims.
"We always do that, no matter what the situation is," he said. "I don't know what the Department of Labor & Industry's decision was based on, but there is a process in place."
Harkins, who walked the picket line as a striking working at UPS in 1997, said he knows that Wabtec has a right to appeal the decision.
"At the end of the day, I hope it will work out the way it is for the workers' sakes," he said. "I think in the grand scheme of thing they fought for what they thought was owed to them."
Meanwhile, the cost of Wabtec's unemployment insurance is based in part on the number of unemployment claims made against the company.

By Admin | December 4, 2003
Written and directed by Richard Curtis, the same bloke who gave us great romantic treats like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Jones's Diary finally gets behind the camera to direct his own vision into reality this time. The result is a fun film that actually has so many storylines that it's bursting at the seems with passion, humor and even controversy in a film that is about all things love and then some. It's a fun film that is packed with one love story after another, which prevents the film from dragging but can be a bit seen as a bit of a romantic comedy overload, which is all right for those who didn't mind Overdosing on this genre of film. It's a great movie for couples, or people who are in the mood to see a romantic comedy with real substance, something we rarely see in the local theatres these days.
The script for 'Love Actually' is bursting at the seems with story where you could write an additional four screenplays with the material that's stuffed into this film. While there are some might find this cute and fun to watch (especially those with short attention spans) I am sure there are some who will also find this kind of storytelling to be too crowded, and jammed with characters to the point where you would hope some bomber wiped out half the cast for us so that we could concentrate on a few specific stories. Just when you find yourself getting into one of the stories, they depart from it and move on to another… sometimes never going back to them at all. There are some that were just a waste of screen time and should have been cut out to make more time for the more interesting storylines. Overall, it was an interesting mixture of love stories that made for a great buffet of cliches and happy endings which did happen for some of the film's stories.
The core of this film is clearly it's cast. 'Love Actually' follows close to twenty people living in and/or around London, England. We join a month before Christmas and watch what happens to them all leading up to the night before the big holiday. With so many stories weaving around and across each other, putting this film together must have been problematic, Curtis manages to orchestrate the bulk with surprising assurance and ease. Hugh Grant is rather funny playing the Prime Minister of England. Once you get used to the idea of him in charge of a country without laughing, his boyish charisma and impeccable comic timing are a joy to watch as he's in some of the film's best jokes. In addition, Firth's typical magnetism is a delight to watch and his story that was a cute talk of miscommunication.
Another great performance came from Liam Neeson, who played a husband who lost his wife and was alone to raise a step-son. One nice moment that was completely the usual cliche of this particular story: the son falls in love instead of the grieving father for a change. A nice twist that made this story more than just the norm. The Alan Rickman/Emma Thompson story brought the film an enormous amount of depth to contrast against all the fluff but sadly there wasn't enough time for their development, the story ended with more that could have been revealed but it was not. Another story that was a complete joy to watch was the one with Colin Firth. It was a cute and very funny story, especially the sub-titles which lead to physical humor coupled with subtitles that were a riot to read.
While some stories were true and very romantic, there were a few that seemed to miss the mark and were not as entertaining. A good example would be the story with Keira Knightley and Kris Marshall. This story never really went anywhere, and just faded away. Harshall never really played anything more than the loser role I am sure many peopl in the UK are already used to seeing with his role in the soaps. The story with Laura Linney had a lot of potential, but took the wrong direction and also faded without a satisfactory conclusion. And while I though the body doubles were cute, their numerous T&A jokes got old too quickly and could have used less screen time.
There were also a few smaller roles that clearly stole scenes and made the movie that much more special with their presence. One such role was Bill Nighy's wonderful role as a washed up rock singer trying to get back into stardom with a Christmas jingle based on one of his former hits. Nighy's character is so popped up and regularly like a naughty deed in a good world that at times made his mere presence a breathe of fresh air. He was a riot in this movie, and had some of the best one liners in the films. Rowan Atkinson's magnificent cameo is the film's funniest moment, and is just fitting for a man of his comic genius. While his appearances are brief, Rowan makes the most of them and makes them his own, despite the fact that they're a part of other ongoing storylines.
While the film has its faults (what doesn't?), it's clear to see that this film would have been awful in the hands of different director. One of the best things about this movie is its editing, which in the hands of someone else could have been a complete mess. Curtis seems to do an admirable job running all these stories simultaneously, and his direction along with brilliant editing and clever music that nicely linked scenes together… we are able to juggle these stories with minimal confusion. Because of that, 'Love Actually' is a very rich and rewarding film, one that I recommend to those who are in the mood for a really good 'date movie' or something sweet and little more realistic for the holidays…
Over all, 'Love Actually' is a siege of romantic stories that are funny, touching and at times brilliant. It's a great movie that I think fans of romantic comedies and those looking for a good date movie are going to absolutely love. It's a very funny and happening film that succeeds where many other romantic comedies have crashed and burned. It's has many characters that we can sympathize and care about, and its what makes this film fun to check out. I recommend it for those who are looking around for a good romantic comedy to check out, this very well might be the best RC of the year and is worth going to if you're in the mood for something about love and romance…

Ballinagh (@1.28) vs Cuchulainns (@4.0)
Ballinagh will win
Ballinagh vs Cuchulainns
Ballinagh – Cuchulainns Match Prediction | 13-09-2019 14:15
By the end of October, the feeling in Cross-Mullagh was that their favourites could only throw away a place in the last four of the competition. Victory over the Celtics underlined Cuchulainns potential and growing stature among their peers. That assuredness was manifest too in the decisive 113 to 16 victory over would-be IFC kingpins Lacken Celtic. And while they arguably drew the short straw in being pitted against Ballinagh in the semi-final of the league, nobody in any part of the county of Cavan was in doubt but that Cuchulainns had the grit and the toughness to give as good as they would get from the Saffrons, and a little more back besides.
Like the drawn match, the replay was a very close encounter and the possibility of extra time loomed until Aidan Connell snatched a point in the dying moments of the game. However, with M. Stanley in commanding form in midfield, Munterconnaught laid the foundations for victory. If the 1970s saw a gradual decline in the playing fortunes of the club, the 1980s have seen a gradual improvement as the successful juveniles came through to adult level. The final score was 010 to 16. Munterconnaught the more balanced outfit settled quickly. Cuchulainns relying heavily on Ray Carolan found it harder to get into their stride and it was indeed the second half before they really got into the game. Hetherton and O. The match itself was fast and exiting, but both sets of forwards found scores hard to come by. The Anglo Celt reports that both teams played with resolute determination in a tough exciting match, the final score being 24 to 07. The final was to be another disappointing day for Cuchulainns, with their opponents Munterconnaught gaining their first intermediate championship title. Cuchulainns did have a good championship run in 1980 when they overcame the challenge of Killygarry after a replay to reach the intermediate championship final.
Gaels vs Gowna- I think the big win at the weekend will give the Gaels much needed confidence. They were exposed at the weekend when they were missing a few important players. Neither team will have wanted to play each other again but I think Gaels will get through this with a 3 point win.Lavey vs Lacken- Depending on Lacken having a full strength team.

Even though they had a disappointing league campaign much of which can be attributed to a hangover from last years championship triumph, a first in 19 years its notable that the Sons of OConnell had the best defensive record in Division 2. Drumlanes real strength, though, lies in their back nine. Donal Monahan is a very athletic defender who was breaking into the Cavan senior team before opting out of county football this year while midfielders Kian Monahan and Dane ODowd (below) would not be out of place in senior ranks. If they can gather some momentum in the early rounds, Fintan Reillys men could well enjoy an extended championship run. They regrouped impressively, storming to glory in the Junior Championship last season, lifting the Sean Leddy Cup with a replay win over a fancied Killinkere in the final. Drumlane were always a hard team to beat in intermediate ranks for the guts of two decades, reaching the final in 2010, but slipped through the relegation trapdoor at the end of the season before last. Goalkeeper Gareth Patch Corrigan is rock solid and in front of him, the long-serving John ODowd is as safe as they come. The form of attackers Darragh Dolan who came from nowhere and was one of the stand-out players in the championship along with the well-established Gary Tubman and Ryan Connolly was crucial to that success, with Connolly in particular a very impressive ball-striker with a glittering underage CV. They open their account against Swanlinbar and will be fancied to win that west Cavan derby.
Indeed, it took a late, late point by Paul Taite to actually decide the issue in Cuchulainns favour. In capturing their first bit of silverware in eleven years, Cuchulainns were made to fight all the way to the finishing post. Not since 1993 when they captured the Cavan Intermediate Championship had Cuchulainns tasted success at senior level.
Every player played their part in a valuable away win. In addition, it took Cuchulainns 22 minutes to score through Thomas Reilly and when the same player pointed for them again in the 25th minute, Drung knew that they were going to be really upset against it. For instance, Colm Andersons courageous save prevented the home side from opening the scoring within seconds of the throw-in. In a fast, open game, both sides moved the ball at pace but the visitors were particularly guilty of dropping the ball short into the goalkeepers hands on a number of occasions.
Crosserlough won't care too much about that and I hope and expect them to pull through.Castlerahan v Kingscourt - Castlerahan by 1. A good win for our lads but I wouldn't look into it too much. I expect Castlerahan to pull through a tough battle in this one. I think Shercock will go down with us and I expect it to be tight between Killygarry and Cootehill, but I expect Cootehill to stay up with Killygarry missing Conor Smith, a huge loss! Kingscourt will put up a good challenge as always but I expect them to fall just short. Gaels will know that there are no more second and third chances and I'd imagine they'll take the game by the scruff of the neck. I thought they were peaking too early and this could be the challenge they need to push them on further towards winning the championship they've been craving for so long. A good group of dedicated lads, I think they're ready to step up a level. Gaels v Gowna - Gaels by 8. Does anybody know what happens in the event of a draw?Ramor v Crosserlough - Croseerlough by 5. I'm still backing the Gaels (just!), may change after next weekend. Castlerahan to fall just short again. Lacken are carrying a couple of knocks and injuries while Lavey are being written off by many it seems. Having said that it would be great to see the young Gowna lads stepping up and taking a scalp. Crosserlough on a high I am sure after beating Kingscourt and topping the group. Definitely a strengthening team and ones to watch.Lacken v Lavey - Draw. I think Lacken will win the reply or pull through extra time. Gowna struggled against 14 men of Ramor and just won't have enough to oust the Gaels. The Lavey lads will be up for it no doubt and I wouldn't be surprised if Lacken struggle. Ramor are a mess it seems and I've heard from numerous sources that players and supporters are frustrated with management structure. I attended the game against Ballinagh, my own club at the weekend. I don't think Lacken have the depth of the other top teams and it could show in the coming weeks.
Swanlinbar began the second half as they ended the first on the attack and were back in contention when Prior sent over three frees in the opening seven minutes. Alan Callaghan steadied the Cuchulainns nerves when he landed a free though as the game swung from one end of the field to the other in exciting fashion.

The New York Times and the Nonexistent DHS Corruption "Scandal"
By Matt O'Brien	 January 3, 2017 17 Comments
The New York Times recently ran a piece smearing immigration enforcement authorities entitled "The Enemy Within: Bribes Bore a Hole in the U.S. Border." It purports to be an exposé on bribes of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees and contractors. It also hints that the Trump administration's plans to gain control of our borders will be nixed by complications arising "from within" border control agencies, namely corrupt immigration officers. The clear implication is that DHS officials are easily bribed and will readily sacrifice national security and public safety for personal gain.
The only problem: The numbers paint a significantly less scandalous picture. The Times concedes that all of its information was drawn from court records and internal agency documents. That means all of the corruption referenced in the article was detected and prosecuted by DHS. Sounds more like due diligence than a systemic problem.
It also notes that DHS has brought corruption charges against roughly 200 people over a 10 year period. DHS employs approximately 250,000 people and engages the services of roughly 100,000 contractors. That means that a tiny fraction of DHS's total workforce – far less than the one percent cited by the Times, as the number of contractors working for DHS is notoriously hard to pin down – has been involved in shady dealings.
Zero corruption is a laudable goal. Nevertheless, any agency with over a quarter of a million people working for it is, inevitably, going to have a few bad apples. But there is absolutely no indication that DHS has become so infected with corruption that it is unable to handle its responsibilities.
Of course, the New York Times seems to have a fluid view on preserving the integrity of the legal system. When lawbreakers serve its ends, it promotes them vigorously. In 2011, the Times Sunday Magazine published a puff piece by Jose Antonio Vargas that glorified immigration fraud, harboring illegal aliens and employment law violations. Since then, it has published numerous articles and editorials encouraging local law enforcement officials to violate the Immigration and Nationality Act by declaring themselves sanctuary cities. And it has taken a brazenly partisan stance against all of President-elect Trump's immigration enforcement plans.
So why is the Times hysterically pointing out that the sky is falling at DHS? It could be overt bias, a lack of journalistic ethics or a desire to sell newspapers. In the end, it doesn't really matter. The real story is that, on an average day, the anti-rule-of-law entities consistently celebrated by the New York Times do more to hobble immigration law enforcement and imperil national security than all 20 of the corrupt DHS employees prosecuted in a typical year.

Increased Immigration and Amnesty Will Hurt American Workers, But They Won't Lower Inflation

As usual, the mentality of these idiots attempting to exhibit the minute number of scum that are actually employed by our inept government, doesn't truly matter. It's the criminal intent of their lawlessness, and the actual number of illegal alien invaders they allowed across OUR border, that matters the most. Not to mention the terrorist threat out there, that would like nothing more than to transform our way of life, because they'll actually think we'll cower from their attempts to frighten us. THINK AGAIN!

Your short piece deserves a wide audience, Mr. O'Brien. I expect to share with my senators and representative.

Regarding some sherrif wanting to have prisoners build the wall. I do not agree at all. First the wall is a waste of money in most places and what we need is better border patrolling. Wall money would be better spent on crumbling bridges dams and roads. But if they do build the wall I want the money to go to American workers and not some rich owner of private prisons.we need more blue collar jobs not more deals for the wealthy.

Ever Since the JFK and MLK Assassinations
Organized Crime simply took over as a Shadow Government….hand picking our candidates with bribe puppet strings….and making your freedom of speech against them a reason to fire you from your scarce job.
kurt thialfad on January 3, 2017 6:56 pm
Matt;
There will always be corruption and the temptation to engage in corruption. But you can put in place safeguards to limit it. Number one, we should never assign border agents of Mexican descent to the southern border, as we should never assign border agents of Canadian descent to the northern border, nor border agents of Cuban descent to the Miami area, etc. We followed a similar protocol during WWII where Japanese- American troops were only assigned to the European front. Doing otherwise simply presents too great a temptation.
Leland on January 3, 2017 7:53 pm
There is a little known story but absolutely true about Pearl Harbor. The Japanese pilots were told to try to make it to the westernmost of the main Hawaiian islands if they had damage and could not return to the ships. Two crash landed and told two of the families of Japanese descent on the island what had happened. Those families lied to their English and Hawaiian speaking neighbors about the attack, as news had not yet reached them. That fact was part of the of the reason that Japanese Americans were suspected of disloyalty. On the other hand lots of first generation Germans and Italians fought voluntarily against those two countries.
As for the NT Times 17% of their stock is owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. He supports their government in their constant attempts to encourage their citizens to flout our laws. Trump is not going to let this country be Mexico's doormat anymore.
Peter on January 4, 2017 2:00 am
Who is richer Trump or Slim?
Leland on January 4, 2017 9:50 am
What does that have to do with what I said. Go elsewhere if you want to play twenty questions.
Peter on January 4, 2017 12:26 pm
So Slim is richer n the richest in the World in 2011-13 …. Impressive .
Does being the richest person in the world mean he isn't working with the Mexican government to undermine our laws? Try and not burn too many brain cells trying to figure out the difference.
No Change on January 5, 2017 1:30 am
It was just a curiosity … as per your racist comments against mexicans…there is one that kicked the whole world in wealth that happens to be Mexican … that is all nothing to read into it…..impressiver
Not Politically Correct on January 7, 2017 9:00 pm
Who the hell cares??
No Change on January 8, 2017 11:51 pm
Not Politically Correct for instance how come you being born here, supposedly a first world citizen, are not as successful as Mr Slim? how come a Mexican is smarter and richer than you are? One things is a fact, even if you had been born in Mexico, you would have never supposed Mr Slim.
I care, because it tells us like our forefathers told us not too take anything for granted….
supposed = surpassed or do better than
dddd
Kurt …."Mexican descent " so you imply anybody born here with Mexican descent is to be barred? what an idiotic/racist comment is that? it shows your ignorance and blatant intellect….really honestly…they put those guys for the same reason the Romans and other kingdoms did the same….educate yourself…..


It's been 'Work In Progress' for 12 long years but after all the hard work, the first official core bottling from Mitchell's Glengyle Distillery is here - and what a beauty it is. Aged for 12 years, this Kilkerran single malt Scotch whisky is lightly peated, double distilled and created from 70% bourbon casks and 30% sherry casks.
Keep it coming, what an excellent offering. Price, taste, everything, just perfect.
Recently new to whisky, this has so far been my favourite to date. Such lovely flavours on both the palate and the nose, very clean. I'd love to right a more detailed tasting note but i'm not that experience as of yet!!! Maybe i'll return one day to complete. Thanks for such a speedy delivery and fantastic recommendation.
Excellent, interesting whisky. Pale gold with a tinge of green in colour. Lovely nose of green apples, grape juice, with a whiff of peat smoke adding interest. The mouth feels is oily and mouth coating, again apples and grapes, sweet peat smoke. Finish is longer than expected, clean, balanced and sweet. Leaves a wonderful aftertaste. Great whisky at this price point.
Great in so many ways. Springbank, huge round of applause.
Easily my best purchase of 2016. Well done to Springbank, perfect whisky in my books, both in taste and on my wallet!

Flächenaufteilung

Nach Daten des Statistischen Landesamtes, Stand 2014

Geschichte

Antike und Mittelalter
Bereits aus der Antike gibt es im Lautertal Siedlungsspuren. Mitten durch das Tal und den Ort führt der Lautertal-Limes, eine römische Grenzbefestigung, die der Volksmund als Sybillenspur kennt. Südlich des heutigen Kernortes liegt das Kastell Dettingen unter Teck.

Dettingen wurde erstmals um 1100 urkundlich erwähnt. Außergewöhnlich ist die hohe Zahl von sechs Burgen und Edelsitzen auf Dettinger Markung, von denen keine mehr erhalten ist, sie sind alle bereits im frühen Mittelalter abgegangen. Die ansässigen Herrengeschlechter hatten auf Dettinger Markung den Hauptteil der grundherrschaftlichen Rechte. Die hohe Obrigkeit lag schon seit 1381 beim Haus Württemberg, deren regierende Grafen als Landesherren auftraten. 1415 brachten die Württemberger auch die Rechte als Ortsherren an sich.

Frühe Neuzeit
An den Bauernkriegen um 1525 beteiligten sich auch Dettinger Weingärtner aktiv. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde der Ort schwer verwüstet, die Bevölkerungszahl verminderte sich durch Krieg und Pest auf rund ein Drittel. Zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts zählte der Ort noch rund 1300 Einwohner, 1654 waren es nur noch 511 Personen. Der Ort erholte sich nur langsam, die Franzosenkriege Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts brachten einen erneuten Rückschlag. Noch 1715 waren 160 Hofstätten nicht bewohnt und 300 Morgen Äcker und Weingärten lagen brach. Im Jahr 1803 hatte Dettingen dann wieder ca. 1800 Einwohner.

Die Zeit von 1806 bis 1945
Bei der Umsetzung der neuen Verwaltungsgliederung im 1806 gegründeten Königreich Württemberg blieb Dettingen dem Oberamt Kirchheim zugeordnet.

In der Märzrevolution 1848 griffen einige Bewohner von Dettingen auch die Honoratioren am Ort an und beteiligten sich an Ausschreitungen. Die Leute setzten sich vor allem dafür ein, dass die Zehntherrschaft und die Jagdprivilegien des Adels abgeschafft werden sollten. Ein demokratischer Volksverein wurde gegründet und Handwerker aus Dettingen zogen mit bewaffneten Freischaren am 19. Juni 1849 von Kirchheim nach Weilheim an der Teck. Diese  Ereignisse hatten aber in der Folge keine nennenswerten Auswirkungen auf ein verstärkt politisches Engagement der Dettinger im 19. Jahrhundert.

Am 1. Januar 1880 wurde der bisher übliche Dettinger Namenszusatz "am Schloßberg" in Dettingen "unter Teck" geändert.

Bei der Kreisreform während der NS-Zeit in Württemberg gelangte Dettingen 1938 zum Landkreis Nürtingen.

Im Jahre 1939 wurde der Flugplatz der Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau GmbH von der Luftwaffe als Feldflugplatz ausgewiesen. Er war jedoch relativ klein und wurde von der Luftwaffe deshalb auch nicht belegt.

Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges traf es Dettingen schwer, der 20. April 1945 wurde zum Schicksalstag. Schon Tage vorher hatten deutsche Truppen auf ihrem Marsch zum Rückzug auf die Schwäbische Alb in Dettingen Unterschlupf gesucht und gefunden. Die Scheunen und Keller waren voll mit deutschen Soldaten, als alliierte Jagdbomber gegen 16 Uhr mit einer systematischen Bombardierung des Ortes begannen. Spreng- und Brandbomben wurden abgeworfen, in kurzer Zeit brannten 69 Häuser und 39 Scheunen lichterloh. Die Kirche, das Rathaus, das Schlössle, das alte Schulhaus, der Kindergarten und das Feuerwehrmagazin wurden ein Raub der Flammen, das Vieh verbrannte in den Ställen. Zehn Ortsbewohner und 13 Soldaten kamen ums Leben. Einen Tag später marschierten die Amerikaner ein und besetzten das Dorf.

Nachkriegszeit
Da der Ort nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Teil der Amerikanischen Besatzungszone geworden war, gehörte er somit seit 1945 zum neu gegründeten Land Württemberg-Baden, das 1952 im jetzigen Bundesland Baden-Württemberg aufging. Dettingen erhielt in den ersten Nachkriegsjahren einen Zuzug von etwa 600 Vertriebenen.

1973 erfolgte die Kreisreform in Baden-Württemberg, bei der Dettingen vom aufgelösten Landkreis Nürtingen zum Landkreis Esslingen kam.

Religionen

In Dettingen gibt es die evangelische St.-Georgs-Kirche mit langer württembergischer Tradition, deren Gemeinde zum Kirchenbezirk Kirchheim unter Teck gehört. Die in der Nachkriegszeit errichtete römisch-katholische Kirche (St. Nikolaus von der Flüe) gehört zur Gemeinde Maria Königin in Kirchheim innerhalb einer Seelsorgeeinheit des Dekanats Esslingen-Nürtingen. In Dettingen gibt es auch eine neuapostolische Kirchengemeinde.

Einwohnerentwicklung
Die Einwohnerzahlen sind Schätzungen, Volkszählungsergebnisse (¹) oder amtliche Fortschreibungen des Statistischen Landesamtes (nur Hauptwohnsitze).

Politik

Gemeinderat
Der Gemeinderat in Dettingen hat 14 Mitglieder. Der Gemeinderat besteht aus den gewählten ehrenamtlichen Gemeinderäten und dem Bürgermeister als Vorsitzendem. Der Bürgermeister ist im Gemeinderat stimmberechtigt. Die Kommunalwahl am 26. Mai 2019 führte zu folgendem Endergebnis:

Schultheiße und Bürgermeister

 1945–1948 Gottlieb Lauxmann
 1948–1957 Julius Mahle
 1957–1972 Richard Käser
 1972–1996 Günter Fischer
 seit 1996: Rainer Haußmann

Beim Amtsantritt im Juni 1996 war Haussmann der jüngste Bürgermeister im Kreis Esslingen. Am 7. März 2004 wurde Haußmann mit 87,05 % der Stimmen wiedergewählt. Am 4. März 2012 wurde Rainer Haußmann zum zweiten Mal im Amt bestätigt und mit 96,39 % der Stimmen für eine dritte Wahlperiode gewählt. Im März 2020 wurde Haussmann ohne Gegenkandidaten mit 95,6 % der Stimmen für eine vierte Amtszeit wiedergewählt.

Wappen
Das Wappen zeigt in goldenem Schildhaupt eine waagrechte schwarze Hirschstange, darunter in Blau ein goldenes D (für Dettingen). Das Wappen ist bereits seit 1613 nachweisbar. Zwischen 1710 und 1934 führte die Gemeinde mehrere andere Wappen. 1934 wurde wieder das Wappen von 1613 angenommen. Die Hirschstange weist auf die Zugehörigkeit des Ortes zu Württemberg hin.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Verkehr

Dettingen verfügt seit 1899 über einen Bahnanschluss an der eingleisigen Teckbahn von Wendlingen am Neckar über Kirchheim unter Teck nach Oberlenningen. Die Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen erbauten das mittlerweile restaurierte und anderweitig genutzte Bahnhofsgebäude als Einheitsbahnhof vom Typ IIa. Der Bahnhof ist im Maßstab 1:87 auch als Modell auf vielen Modelleisenbahnen zu finden, unter anderem Namen auch auf der größten Modellbahnanlage der Welt im Miniatur-Wunderland in Hamburg. 2009 wurde die Teckbahn bis Kirchheim elektrifiziert und wird seither von der S-Bahn Stuttgart befahren, die weitere Strecke über Dettingen nach Oberlenningen wird pro Richtung stündlich von einer Regionalbahn bedient. Dettingen gehört mit dem Landkreis Esslingen dem Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund Stuttgart an und liegt in der Tarifwabe Kirchheim/Teck.

Write-up: This case was reported by a physician in the frame of a study and described the occurrence of intussusception in a 7-month-old male subject who was vaccinated with ROTARIX (GlaxoSmithKline). Previous and/or concurrent vaccination included DTPa-IPV-HIB; manufacturer unspecified; intramuscular given on 9 June 2008; hepatitis B vaccine recombinant: manufacturer unspecified; intramuscular given on 9 June 2008; and ROTARIX (GlaxoSmithKline, oral) given on 11 February 2008. Previously the subject was healthy. On 16 April 2008 the subject received 2nd dose of ROTARIX (oral). On 9 July 2008, 84 days after vaccination with ROTARIX, the subject experienced abdominal distension, hyporexia, vomiting (4 times) and current jelly stools. On 19 July 2008 the subject was admitted and physical examination reported asthenia, adynamia, pallor, dehydration, hyperemic pharynx, abdominal sausage shaped mass, abdominal distension, absence of bowel sound and generalized abdominal pain. Relevant test included abdominal x-ray which showed distended loops, lack of distal air and bad air distribution. The diagnosis of intussusception was done and it was resolved by air enema without complications. After full recovery the subject was discharged on 13 July 2008 in good conditions. The subject was hospitalised for 4 days. The subject was treated with enema, metronidazole, amikacin and Ranitidine. The physician considered the events were unrelated to vaccination with ROTARIX.


The VPANC Scholarship Award Program was established in 1995 by the Executive Committee of the Association. This program has been funded exclusively by contributions of physician members of the Association and local physicians in the community. Its main goal is to recognize and encourage Vietnamese high school seniors heading to college with superior academic achievements who have also overcome great financial need. The program fosters a sense of community pride and raises awareness so that students can take a more active role in the Vietnamese American community later on in their life. All Vietnamese high school seniors in Northern California who meet the minimum requirements are eligible to apply. Announcements have been provided on our Association website, through media and on bulletin boards of high schools in Northern California. The Scholarship Committee is comprised of eight physicians from the Association. This committee performs the difficult task of selecting the winners from a large pool of exceptional applicants by following a variety of pre-set criteria.
