Governor's Of The APC Are Divided About Tinubu's Presidential Ambition.
Dooter Terhemba
A new crisis is emerging in Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2023 presidential election over Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's ambition to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as the country's next leader.
Despite the fact that Tinubu has yet to formally declare his candidacy for president, he has been holding consultations and meeting important Nigerians to inform and solicit their support.
Tinubu recently paid a visit to Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, an elder statesman, who revealed that the APC national leader informed him of his presidential ambition and begged for his support.
Senator Rufai Hanga, the founder national chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and APC chieftain who recently dumped the ruling party, said there is a split among the APC governors on the issue of the party's presidential flagbearer in an exclusive interview with the Daily Independent in Abuja.
While some governors in the party have settled on one of them as the presidential candidate, with a serving minister in President Buhari's administration as a running mate, he claims that other governors are rooting for Tinubu, saying that they should rally around him for everything he has done for the party.
"We have around three to four factions, and bringing them together is close to impossible," he remarked. In the party, there are governors.
In reality, just three days ago, some governors sat and, according to reliable sources, one of them was anointed as presidential candidate. They have chosen one of the serving ministers as his running companion. They are willing to go all-in and are adamant that there will be no turning back.
"Other governors aren't interested in hearing all of that. All of these governors are on Asiwaju Tinubu's side. These people believe that despite everything Asiwaju has done for the party, he has been badly mistreated. They're warning their fellow governors not to bite the hand that feeds them. As a result, there is currently a schism among APC governors over the subject of 2023."
Hanga, who claimed the APC is technically non-existent, added that the party has no chance of surviving an implosion, especially given the current difficulties in the country.

Girl Guides of Canada is cancelling any trips to the United States, citing concerns that some members could be turned away at the border.
The organization, which has 70,000 girls and 20,000 women who are volunteer guiders, said it decided to cancel future travel because of the uncertainty over whether all of its members would be allowed to cross into the United States. President Donald Trump has recently introduced an immigration ban that affects would-be visitors and immigrants to the U.S. from six Muslim-majority countries who do not hold a valid U.S. visa.
"We realize we had to stand by our organizational commitment of inclusivity and diversity," Kiriliuk said. "We talk the talk, we try and walk the walk. We're an inclusive and a diverse organization and this is just an extension of that.
"While the United States is a frequent destination for guiding trips, the ability of all our members to equally enter this country is currently uncertain," said a statement from the organization.
Girl Guides of Canada will not be approving any new travel to the U.S. until further notice, the statement said.
This includesday trips and weekend outings or longer, and any travel that includes a connecting flight through a U.S. airport. An alternative destination is being sought to a nationally sponsored trip this summer to a camp in California.
Most of the Girl Guides' trips to the U.S. are planned at the regional and local offices, Kiriliuk said. These trips include a wide variety of things such as tourism, history or, sometimes, simply socializing.
Travelling, especially as a young girl with peers and away from parents, teaches independence, she said.
"There's a really big learning curve for girls in that sense as well — going across the ocean, far away from home," Kiriliuk said.
If there's a trip that has been planned and paid for, Kiriliuk said, then the organization is doing a risk assessment on those trips.
The organization is encouraging people to take domestic trips especially because this is 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Girl Guides is not the first organization to suspend trips to the U.S.
Several schools and school districts across Canada debated going ahead with trips south of the border following the first executive order issued by Trump In January.
A Winnipeg junior high school cancelled a trip by its track team to Minnesota in January because it wasn't certain all students would be able to cross the border.
The Greater Essex County School Board in southwestern Ontario decided in February to cancel a handful of trips over concerns of safety and equity, while districts in southern Vancouver Island debated whether to ban all U.S. travel or handle each trip on a case-by-case basis.

Prime Implementing Partner
Despite significant investments over the past 30 years, hundreds of millions of people in Africa still do not have access to basic services or use safely managed drinking water and sanitation facilities. The COVID-19 pandemic further demonstrated the critical importance of sanitation, hygiene, and adequate access to clean water for preventing and containing diseases. To help address the lack of access to water and sanitation services and facilities from a regional perspective, USAID created the WALIS program. WALIS focused on building the capacity of national and regional leaders to capture and apply evidence to deliver improved access to safely managed water and sanitation for all.
For five years, WALIS strengthened the ability of African leaders, institutions, and stakeholders to use data and analyses to shape WASH policies, plans, and budgets while also fortifying regional institutions to better serve the Africa WASH sector. In its sixth and final year, WALIS reinforced core program activities while strengthening the integration of WASH into COVID-19 response and research efforts. DAI led the WALIS Team and engaged with multiple partners and key investors in Africa's WASH sector.
WALIS's three Intermediate Results (IRs) were:
WASH Policy and Governance: Foster transparent WASH sector multi-stakeholder leadership for evidence-based decision-making processes and better governance;
Monitoring: Strengthen capacity of regional and national institutions for WASH sector monitoring, evaluation, and reporting; and,
Learning and Knowledge Sharing: Increase levels of coordination, capacity development, communication, knowledge-sharing, and peer-to-peer learning among institutions within the African WASH sector.
WALIS Activities 2015-2021

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Sunshine Sweet Corn from Florida. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Sweet Corn Black Bean Salad is the perfect side dish to bring to your next BBQ, picnic or get together this summer. The sweet corn pairs with black beans, fresh vegetables and avocado and is topped with a light cilantro dressing. Use this as a salad, dip for chips or topping on grilled chicken or burgers.
When we go to summer get togethers, BBQs and picnics I love to bring a side dish to share. My go-tos are pasta salads or corn salads. They are versatile, easy to make and travel nicely when you need to drive a distance. Today's Sweet Corn Black Bean Salad is simple to put together, packed with summer flavors and is versatile.
You can use this as a salad, salsa with chips or even a topping to grilled chicken or burgers.
The weather lately inspired me to make this Sweet Corn Black Bean Salad. Last week it was close to 80 degrees in Cleveland for at least five days. I was starting to think the Costa Rican weather followed us home until yesterday when the temperature dropped down to 50 degrees. Typical Midwestern weather. But now that the weather is warming up I am planning for meals on the grill and dinners on the patio. We love our new backyard and spend a lot of time grilling, playing and relaxing when the weather is nice.
Whether in a salad, homemade salsa, or straight off the cob, Sunshine Sweet Corn from Florida adds a perfect balance of sweetness to our meals that my whole family enjoys. In season and ready to enjoy this spring, Sunshine Sweet Corn from Florida makes for a sweet and nutritious addition to meals, salsas and salads. I am always looking for ways to include Will in my cooking and preparation. What better activity for your little helpers than husking corn? Will loves to help me husk our summer corn.
In Cleveland our sweet corn isn't ready locally until late summer. The nice thing about Sunshine Sweet Corn from Florida is that it is in season now and an easy addition to your spring meals. Sunshine Sweet Corn is my go-to in April in May when we want corn on the cob with a meal or if I am putting together dishes like this Vegetable Corn Chowder or today's Sweet Corn Black Bean Salad.
This salads is full of fresh vegetables: sweet corn, green and red peppers and red onion along with fresh avocado and black beans and then topped with a light cilantro dressing. You can easily modify this salad with different vegetables, maybe some jalapeños for spice or even some shredded cheese. This recipe makes serves 7 but you could easily double this recipe for a large crowd over Memorial Day.
Did you make this recipe? Tag #acedarspoon on Instagram.
I would love to hear your feedback. What did you like? Did you change anything? Did the recipe turn out to your liking? Suggestions and comments are always welcome.
Husk the ears of corn.
Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way full with water and add a dash of salt. Turn the heat to medium high and boil the water. Once the water is boiling turn down the heat to medium and add the ears of corn.
Cook the ears of corn for 4 minutes. Drain the water and remove the ears of corn. Run the ears of corn under cold water to stop the cooking and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add the black beans, red onion, green pepper, avocado and green onions.
When the corn is cool use a knife to cut the kernels away from the cob. Add the corn kernels to the salad.
In a small mason jar combine the fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, cumin, red pepper, extra virgin olive oil and shake to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the corn salad and mix to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve alongside your favorite grilled dish, with chips or on a hamburger.
Omit the cayenne red pepper if you want less spice.[br]If you make this salad ahead of time wait to add the avocado until you are ready to serve to keep the avocado from going bad.

Beautiful salad, and I loved your cute little corn husking helper Will. (My nephew's name is Will and we love the name.) Back to the salad, great idea to top burgers or chicken.. I think I will do that for our next barbecue.
Thanks Allie. 🙂 He loves helping out which is cute to watch and fun to spend time with him in that way. He gets pretty serious about the husking though and has to get every last piece off.

Monday June 1st Open Thread
I know I'm a few minutes early and a few hours early for my west coast buddies, but I thought I would kick it off early so I can go to bed.
Lot's to talk about, so pick any topic you want and talk away!
See y' all in the A.M.
Gio-
Mr. White For President!
Here is a common sense approach to our financial woes. Which immediately tells me that the Obama administration will never do it.
Don't forget to take the pledge.
A message from Dru White to all members of North Carolinians for the Preservation of the Constitution on Patriotic Resistance!
Cancel the 2010 Census – We can't afford it.
FIND the 10% waste in Medicare and STOP IT – We can't afford the waste.
Halt the hiring of 800 IRS Agents – We can't afford them.
No more Air Force 1 Photo Trips – we can't afford it.
Immediate hiring freeze for ALL federal depts. until the budget is balanced (except for Judiciary, Military, CIA, FBI, Border Agents, Homeland Security) – we can't afford to support all any more people.
Cut every department's budget by 10% plus cut all personnel by 10% (except Judiciary, Military, CIA, FBI, Border Agents, Homeland Security) – we can't afford them.
Cut all money going to the UN by 30% until after we balance our budget – we can't afford more.
Cut all monetary foreign aid to every country immediately…the only foreign aid that will be supplied is Military help, food, medical supplies, tractors, seed, farming equipment – we can't afford it.
By June 2010 (right before the 2010 election) eliminate the Federal Government's retirement program, all federal pension funds will be rolled into the Social Security Program. All federal employees will pay for Social Security and be on Social Security from now on – We can't afford a better program for you than what you give us.
No more Government bonuses (except for Military signing bonuses) until after the budget is balanced – We can't afford it.
All Senators, House Members & their staff and especially the Speaker of the House – Taxpayers will only pay for two trips for you and any of your family members back to your home state per quarter. The trips will be on commercial transportation. We can't afford more than 8 trips per year for you & any of your family.
All federal government (excluding military) will have their health care program eliminated when the Government health care program is passed in the House & Senate- ALL federal employees will then be on that health care program….we can't afford to buy you a better health care plan than what you're giving us!

Dr. Tiller A Christian Man
I make a sick prediction…
As mentioned in my previous post, I do NOT condone the murder of Dr. Tiller, so the following comments are not meant to harm him, they are a condemnation of our Main Stream Media!
I have not seen any headlines yet that make this claim (about Tiller), but I know our disgusting media. The average story about anyone that is a Christian, or proposes to be a Christian because they attend a Christian Church, has a very negative story line. Almost all movies about Christianity made by Hollywood distort or outright lie about Christianity.
Whether it's a blogger that thinks just because he/she calls themselves a Liberatarian it's Ok, to denigrate Christians. Or maybe it's a well known leftist non-believer that uses his space in the NYT's Opinion Pages to mock and belittle Christians. Or maybe it's just a beat reporter working for a lefty mainstream media outlet that wants to get noticed by his boss so he writes a dreadful peice on someone who is a Christian. The choices are endless and we have all seen what I'm talking about.
Now we have the unfortunate murder of Dr. Tiller, who happens to be a champion and hero for the left and pro-choice advocates, but with his death we will see a change.
The media is about to start wailing to the top of the NYT's building in Manhattan, that the good Doctor was also a good Christian man. Now that a murderer of babies is murdered, his Christianity will be a thing of great beauty to the left.
If any of you see my prediction come true, please send the link.
Gio- (and really peeved)
Kill Baby Good – Kill Baby Killer Bad
The White House issued a statement Sunday evening from President Obama on the murder of George Tiller. Here's what the president said:
"I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."
I do NOT condone the murder of anyone, but to be perfectly honest with you, I will NOT shed a tear for the man that killed thousands of innocent babies. Why does the president NOT get outraged over the murders of millions of babies?

Conservatives Show GOP How To Fight
This article needs no intro from me.
Republicans will make race an issue in Sotomayor confirmation
GOP conservatives didn't hesitate to call the Latino Supreme Court nominee racist, but Republican senators were cautious. Now, the gloves are off.
By Peter Wallsten
12:35 PM PDT, May 31, 2009
Reporting from Washington — Since the introduction last week of Sonia Sotomayor, Republican senators wary of attacking the first Latino Supreme Court nominee have criticized fellow conservatives who have branded her a "racist" and even predicted a smooth confirmation.
But several of those same GOP senators, now reluctant to criticize conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich for their racially tinged critiques of Sotomayor, signaled today that they too are ready to make race a key focus of the nomination battle as they settle on a touchy question: Can a woman who says her views are shaped by her gender and ethnicity make fair decisions when it comes to white men?
"We need to know, for example, whether she's going to be a justice for all of us or just a justice for a few of us," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, speaking on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos."
Only days earlier, Cornyn said in a radio interview that it was "terrible" for conservatives to be attacking Sotomayor as a "racist." But today, the senator did not reiterate those sentiments and pledged that he and other Republican lawmakers would probe deeply into Sotomayor's past comments and rulings to see if her heritage colors her ability to make fair decisions.
Cornyn's comments were echoed in television appearances by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky; Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee; and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), another member of the panel that will conduct hearings.
At issue is a 2001 speech in which Sotomayor expressed hope that a "wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
The senators also promised today to question Sotomayor about a recent appellate ruling in which she rejected a discrimination claim by a white firefighter.
"By ignoring a genuine constitutional issue about reverse discrimination in the New Haven firefighter case, you know, the comments she made about the quality of her decisions being better than those of a white male — I mean, we need to go further into her record to see whether this is a trend or whether these are isolated and explainable events," Cornyn said.
McConnell refused to repudiate Limbaugh, Gingrich and other conservatives who have called Sotomayor a racist, telling CNN that they were "entitled to their opinions." The minority leader added that he had "better things to do than be the speech police over people who are going to have their views about a very important appointment."
The senators' comments today underscored how Sotomayor's history of speaking out about her ethnicity had emerged as a surprisingly resonant issue in her confirmation right — one that is not necessarily welcomed by President Obama, who as the country's first black president has tried to de-emphasize race as part of his efforts to win broad public appeal and avoid the marginalization that has defined many African American politicians in the past.
There is no indication that Sotomayor's confirmation is in serious jeopardy. But in a sign of concern over the growing role of race in the debate, Obama on Friday took the unusual step of criticizing his nominee, saying she made a poor choice of words.
Obama Ignores Jihadist Training Camps in America
As you are reading this, do you know that there are 31 jihadist camps right here in the United States?
The camps provide weapons training and instruction in hate-America Wahhabism, the militant Muslim sect. One camp in New York, called Islamberg, has 200 men. The camps are owned and operated by Sheikh Mubarik Ali Hasmi Shah Gilani, a known terrorist.
And the Obama administration is doing nothing about this! Instead, the Dept of Homeland Security has identified "extremists" such as Christians, veterans, and pro-lifers as potential terrorists.

Why Obama is losing The Third Jihad
Kevin McCullough
Sunday, May 31, 2009 – Townhall.com
http://townhall.com/Columnists/KevinMcCullough/2009/05/31/why_obama_is_losing_the_third_jihad?contact=true
As I pen these words not more than sixty miles north of where I sit, a radical Islamist breeding ground, Islamberg, N.Y., is churning out hate, weapons training, and radical Wahabi indoctrination. To date President Barack Obama's administration has done zero about it.
It is imperative to understand that there are thirty additional compounds to this one that are spread throughout the nation in blue states like New York and red states like Virginia. And in each place the residents have been observed or overheard testing explosives, firing weapons, and engaged in the same type of activities as what those who have abandoned Islamberg have confessed to.
Cutting to the chase let it be plainly said, there are thirty-one bases of operation in which strongly questionable use of weapons and militant jihad are being taught and trained, here on U.S. soil. They are actively supplying clerics to serve in the prison chaplain systems across several states, and in many instances those who do are also actively recruiting new members for the future Islamic State of North America. Their stated goal on one of the chaplain's websites is for that state to be in existence by 2050.
Since the compound, known as Islamberg, has more than 200 residents, and since it took less than ten percent of that to kill over 3000 Americans on 9.11.2001, we would assume our nation's authorities would shut it down.
Of course the whole "shutting entire compounds down" thing is a bit tricky for this President. On the campaign trail he pledged to do as much for Gitmo, a base he now supposedly controls. Yet increasingly he appears to be leaning towards leaving it open for some time to come.
I guess it would also be of comfort for the administration to square with the American people that Islamberg is owned and operated by Sheikh Mubarik Ali Hasmi Shah Gilani a known terrorist who currently funds and owns all 31 of the camps known as "Al Fuqra." The Pakistani terror leader remains out of the nation, but regularly provides instructions for those who operate these bases as to how to combat the attempt by mere local law enforcement, to turn our laws on their ears, and to insure that they never gain legal access to the compounds.
Federal authorities have yet to address these compounds with any serious attention.
It is not surprising then that the makers of a new film "The Third Jihad" are so obsessed with letting Americans know what is happening, behind our backs, down the streets, and in the open rural areas we love. Enemies of America are seeking our destruction. The compounds however present only part of the challenge. A much larger one has been unearthed by the FBI but little has yet been done to combat it.
Through a series of violent protests in Western Europe over things like the Allah cartoons, journalists, media outlets, and eventually whole government systems began to make compromises to the protestors. In each case free speech was allowed to have limitations placed upon it, and in some cases such as Great Britain justice in muslim neighborhoods is being wholesale exported to Sharia law systems.
In America while hundreds of thousands of muslims would argue they have no desire to see Sharia law become the way of American society, nearly 25% of those same muslims say they do believe that taking the life of the innocent is allowable to perform the will of Allah–their bastardized substitution for the God of the Bible. And honor killings are on a sharp increase amongst American muslim families.
"The Third Jihad" is an important film because the host of the documentary is an American muslim, and one of the extremely few who has had the courage to speak out against the violent radical elements in his faith community in America.
Every American needs to understand the patient persistence with which the Islamic State of North America is being built with. Every American needs to understand that the U.S. government is at this moment asleep to the concern of the problem that is festering here.
And with President Obama's plan to cut intelligence, defense, and national security spending we've a very real reason to be concerned.
This is especially true given the boldness with which others such as the tyrannical terrorists in Iran, and the crazed and extremely dangerous nuclear power of North Korea have dusted any concern with America aside while Obama is at the helm.
In my city just two weeks ago four men who had been recruited by elements of Sheikh Gilani's crew were caught attempting to place what they believed was a dangerous amount of C4 and a missile they wished to use to bring down an airliner, and blow up a prominent Jewish landmark.
The threat is real friends, "The Third Jihad" documents it all, and every American should view it and pass on their copy to their neighbor. (www.TheThirdJihad.com)
Perhaps one could even make its way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who just this week at a burger joint learned about a whole wing of intelligence operations that he had never heard of before.
Trust me, our enemies knew who they were, why didn't President Obama?
Is This Racist Logic?
This writer seems to be doing more harm than good. You don't curb racism by creating different levels and special categories of racism. It's almost as if he's bragging… "my racism is more important than your racism because we were lynched and you were not". Well, what if your anger over the crimes of the past creates a "new racism" and it too gets to the point of lynchings. Is this what you want?
I pray that it's NOT what you want.

Note to Newt: How "New Racism" Isn't Like "Old Racism"
Old white guys can be a funny bunch, can't they? The same anti-same-sex marriage, anti-affirmative action cadre can flower into the biggest supporters of "equality" the minute they get a whiff of minority empowerment.
To that end, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is accusing Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor of being a "new racist" because of a line she delivered in a speech back in 2001. Sotomayor is quoted as saying: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Reasonable.
Unless you're, like, an aging geezer peaking out of your window at those scary dark-skinned people who just bought the house across the street. Then all your shriveled up little ears hear is a supposed corollary to Sotomayor's statement which is — according to Newt — "My experience as a white man makes me better than a latina woman" to which he added, "New racism is no better than old racism."
By the way, thanks for coming to the party late on that denouncement of "old racism."
But here's the deal, Newt, your "new racism" isn't like "old racism" 'cause "old racism" tended to involve things like shackles, and whips and the Middle Passage. Attack dogs, Billy clubs and water hoses. Burning crosses and lynch mobs. Confederate flags, liquor and screams of "Kill the (fill in pejorative here)!" "Old racism" was red lining and segregating and "whites only" drinking fountains, schools and country clubs. It was The Dred Scott Decision, Executive Order 9066, and the Trail of Tears. "Old racism" was a blind eye and "all deliberate speed" that wasn't deliberate or particularly speedy and nonsense about the sanctity of marriage which was crap when it was applied to "race laws" and is crap when applied to "one man/one woman."
"New Racism?" That's apparently a Latina openly talking about how "more often than not" she would like to avoid the "conclusions" that allowed "old racism" to thrive. That's a long way from getting your ass beat for trying to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge so maybe your kids might one day enjoy the right to vote.
The fact that Newt would even attempt to compare "old racism" and "new racism" only proves Sotomayor correct in saying that experience based on fact is very different than that based on perception.
Newt, seriously, anytime you want to swap racisms give me a call.

Message From ALIPAC
I know this organization and worked with the head of the org, Bill Gheen, just prior to him starting ALIPAC. For what it's worth, I highly recommend this group and their mission.
Last Americans Standing Show Supporters,
Please tune in this Sunday May 30th for a very important broadcast. We need everyone working together to do all we can to stop the appointment of the racist, Hispanic supremacist, and La Raza member Sonia Sotomayor to the US Supreme Court.
This woman has made blatantly racist comments that are offensive to tens of millions of Americans. She belongs to the National Council of La Raza, which we know is a highly racist group that supports amnesty, in-state tuition, licenses, welfare benefits, and US Citizenship for illegal aliens!
It is time to educate America about the Tan Klan. It is time for our fellow countrymen to learn about brown and Hispanic supremacy.
Our Hispanic supporters tell us they are highly offended that Obama would assume unanimous support for Sonia Sotomayor merely because she is Hispanic. Obama's presumptions and actions are racist and so is his nominee!
We hope you are ready to stand up for what is right and oppose this nomination. Keep in mind that appointments to the US Supreme Court are for life, so you picture your children and grandchildren living in a nation with the La Raza minion Sonia Sotomayor in a position of great power during all of their lives.
Who do you stand with? Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Newt Gingrich, and Tom Tancredo? Or do you stand with Charles Krauthammer, Bill O'Reilly, and other Republicans that say Sonia Sotomayor should not be challenged on her racists comments and group affiliations or support for Amnesty for illegals?
She can be stopped. Obama can be stopped.
Tune in this Sunday May 30, 2009 to find out more at 12-2pm Pacific / 3-5pm Eastern.

President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama landed in New York City late Saturday afternoon for a Manhattan date night that was to include a Broadway show.
A spokesman read a statement from Obama: "I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished.
The president traveled in a smaller, Gulfstream-type plane rather than the larger planes typically used as Air Force One.
The Republican National Committee slammed the outing in an "RNC Research Piece": "As President Obama prepares to wing into Manhattan's theater district on Air Force One to take in a Broadway show, GM is preparing to file bankruptcy and families across America continue to struggle to pay their bills. … Have a great Saturday evening – even if you're not jetting off somewhere at taxpayer expense. … PUTTING ON A SHOW: Obamas Wing Into The City For An Evening Out While Another Iconic American Company Prepares For Bankruptcy."
The RNC's Gail Gitcho added: "If President Obama wants to go to the theater, isn't the Presidential box at the Kennedy Center good enough?"
Here is the pool report to the White House press corps from Dave Michaels of the Dallas Morning News:
"We touched down at JFK International Airport about 4:35 p.m. in the first plane of three. We held in helicopter for POTUS AND FLOTUS arrival at 4:43 p.m., which we witnessed through windows. We took off before Marine One and passed over the rooftops of Queens before turning south over the East River. Just after passing over the Brooklyn Bridge we landed at the downtown Manhattan Heliport, which I'm told is also called the Wall Street landing zone.
"The sky is clear and blue here, same weather as in Washington. No traffic on West Street as NYPD had cleared the road. Some observers watched for Marine One from a pier about 100 yards north. I could see ten or more NYPD motor jocks, a bunch of cruisers and a rather large RV-style van, perhaps a mobile command center.
"We headed north on West Street in vans and passed Ground Zero. Southbound traffic on the Westside Highway seemed light, but probably slowed down as the rubber necking began. We turned right on Clarkson Street and headed cross town. Plenty of pedestrians and diners at the trattoria checking us out.
"POTUS waved to enthusiastic watchers as his vehicle headed toward the Blue Hill restaurant on Washington Place."
From an earlier report from Michaels as the presidential party took off from Washington: "Three presidential helicopters descended on Andrews Air Force Base about 3:42 p.m. A group of about 20 people, a few members of the military wearing camouflage and what must have been their families, watched from a distance of 50 to 75 yards.
"Exactly five minutes later, President Obama and Michelle Obama stepped down from Marine One. POTUS was business casual, but very sharp, in a dark blue suit and black shoes. His white shirt was unbuttoned at the top — no tie. Mrs. Obama wore a black cocktail dress and black heels. Her hair was up and she held a small blue purse, which I'm informed is called a clutch. They boarded a presidential Gulfstream 500 and we took off shortly before 4 p.m. en route to New York City, where the first couple is to have dinner and watch a play, 'Joe Turner's Come and Gone' at the Belasco Theater. The name of the production is courtesy of the New York Daily News."

Machiavellian Obama
Remember Bill and Hillary Clinton? Remember how we conservatives used to loathe – and fear – them? Do you hear much about either of them these days?
It is a testament to Obama's Machiavellian skills that, in the space of just a few months, he has succeeded at marginalizing Hillary and neutering Bill. I still say Obama is a capo di tutti capi, the boss of all crime bosses. Obama puts the Godfather to shame.
Here's the clip of Obama giving Hillary the finger during the '08 prez campaign:
Dick Morris: Clintons Trapped in Obama's Web
29 May 2009 http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/6926/49/
Asked why he was naming some of his rivals to top administration jobs, President Lyndon B. Johnson said it best:
"I'd rather have them inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in." President Obama seems to echo Johnson's management style in his handling of Bill and Hillary Clinton. By bringing them into his inner circle, he has marginalized them both and sharply reduced their freedom of action.
It may appear odd to describe a secretary of State as marginalized, but Obama has surrounded Hillary with his people and carved up her jurisdiction geographically. Former Sen. George Mitchell (D-Maine) is in charge of Arab-Israeli relations. Dennis Ross has Iran. Former U.N. Ambassador Dick Holbrooke has Pakistan and Afghanistan. And Hillary has to share her foreign policy role on the National Security Council (NSC) with Vice President Biden, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, CIA chief Leon Panetta, and NSC staffer Samantha Powers (who once called Hillary a "monster").
With peers who are competitors and subordinates who can deal directly with the president, Hillary is reduced to announcing foreign aid packages for Pakistan while Holbrooke does the heavy lifting.
Part of Hillary's problem is the institutional shrinking of the State Department. During the Bush years, while war raged, the Defense Department became more relevant to the conduct of foreign policy. And, under Obama, the financial crisis has propelled the Treasury into the forefront. State, with its emphasis on traditional diplomacy, has been forced to take a back seat. Even though Obama appointed Hillary, he clearly has not been willing to make her a co-president and confines her to the diminished role of her department.
For his part, Bill Clinton has been asked to be a special envoy to Haiti. Yes, Haiti. Obama's predecessor asked the former president to orchestrate the response to the Asian tsunami and then to Hurricane Katrina. Obama gives him Haiti.
Meanwhile, both Clintons are effectively muzzled and cannot criticize Obama even as he reverses President Clinton's free market proclivities and budget balancing discipline. Hillary, the supposed friend of Israel, must sit by quietly and watch Iran get the bomb while trying all the while to stop Israel from preventing it.
Bill can't even make money. Denied the ability to accept speeches from foreign governments or their organs and fenced out of continuing his profitable relationship with the Emir of Dubai, he and his wife must accept the loss of the $13 million they spent on her campaign and sit by passively, unable to earn the money to replace it.
Just as Lincoln buried his rivals Seward, Chase and Stanton in the Cabinet and then on the Supreme Court, and Wilson buried Bryan at the State Department, so Obama has hidden his predecessor and his rival in plain sight at the upper reaches of the government.
How long will Hillary subject herself to this discipline? Likely as long as Obama is popular. Should his ratings fade, she might move away from the president and could even consider a primary contest against him in 2012. But while he is on top of his game, she'll stay loyal.
But she is shrinking by the day. Once Obama's equal — and before that his superior — she now looks tiny compared to the president. She doesn't look like a president in waiting; she's more like a senior staff member hoping to rise in the bureaucracy. No longer at the head of a movement or the symbol of rising women all over the world, she has faded into the State Department woodwork. She is much less visible than her predecessors Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, James Baker, Madeleine Albright or Condi Rice. She is even less in the public eye than was Al Haig during his one-year tenure. One has to go back to the likes of Warren Christopher or William Rogers to find a secretary of State as far down the totem poll. This diminished status has got to grate on her and on him. But they are trapped in Obama's web and cannot easily escape.
Pelosi, the Socialist
Of late, we here on Gio's World have been making fun of Congresswoman and queen bee Nancy Pelosi. See here and here. Our efforts to get the Congressional Ethics Committee to investigate her many lies denying she was informed by the CIA on waterboarding even got Gio's World into the May 20, 2009 issue of the Capitol Hill paper, Roll Call, which credits this blog for having engineered "likely the first mass-mail appeal to the Office of Congressional Ethics to open an investigation" into a member of Congress.
Sure, this woman does not have the sharpest blade, having declared that "500 million Americans lose jobs every month," when the entire population of the United States is less than that, at 304 million! (World Factbook estimates the US population to be 303,824,640 as of July 2008.)
But it would be a mistake on our part to underestimate or dismiss Pelosi as a nincompoop, an airhead. The New Zealand libertarian blog, NewZeal, has begun an earnest investigation into Pelosi. There's an old adage that birds of a feather gather together. Judging by the company that Nancy Pelosi keeps and the people she admires, Pelosi and Obama have more in common than we realize — they are both socialist/communist sympathizers, if not outright reds themselves.
Watch out for this woman!
The Pelosi Dossier
http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2009/05/pelosi-dossier.html
As Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is America's third ranked politician after President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden. Given Biden's low profile and gaffe prone manner, Pelosi's power, in reality, is probably second only to Obama's.
Nancy Pelosi is only a plane crash and a decent heart attack away from the most powerful job in the world.
San Francisco based Pelosi is not only one of the richest members of the US Congress-she is also one of the reddest.
[The Weekly Standard's] Joshua Muravchik has exposed Pelosi's admiration for the late covert communist labor boss Harry Bridges.
Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media has revealed Pelosi's ties to the pro-communist Hallinan family.
Kincaid also points out a major flaw in the US political system.
Like the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not have to go through a background investigation in order to get a security clearance. This loophole in the law enables the president and members of Congress to automatically qualify for security clearances, even if they have controversial backgrounds and associations, by virtue of the fact that they get elected to high office in Washington, D.C.
I'm about to start a Pelosi security file series to run in parallel to my widely cited Obama File series.
There are many overlaps. Pelosi is connected to some of the people and organisations that put Obama in the White House. Her job is to run Congress in the way most beneficial to Obama and the socialists who back him.

Pravda Tells It Straight
Remember that fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about the child who alone pointed out the obvious, crying out "the emperor has no clothes"?
The "child" today is none other than Russia's Pravda – the paper that used to be the mouthpiece of the Soviet Union's Communist Party. It takes one to know one — and Pravda is telling us that the United States, under Obama the Marxist trojan-horse, is sinking rapidly into Marxist socialism.
To slightly change the famous George Santayana quote: "Those who do not learn from others' history are doomed to repeat it." The American Left are hellbent on hurtling our country down the same path that Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba (to name a few) took — to their utter ruin.
Beginning with the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, Marxism-Leninism spread to 150 countries to affect almost every continent. At its height, Marxism-Leninism ruled over a third of humanity. The cost in human lives is unparalleled in human history. According to the authoritative The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression (Harvard U. Press, 1999), 85 to 100 million people lost their lives — due to the direct abuse of the state and wrong-headed disastrous economic experiments like the elimination of private land ownership (collectivization) under Stalin in the 1930s and under Mao (the great communes) in China in the 1950s. The latter "experiment" resulted in the death by starvation of 15 million Chinese peasants — according to the post-Mao Chinese Communist Party.
But the American Left would have you believe that Marxism failed in all those places because it had not been done "right." And, being the intellectual narcissists that they are, the Left mean to do it "right" this time under Obama.

The Marxist Pantheon: Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin
American capitalism gone with a whimper
April 27, 2009 – Pravda.Ru
by Stanislav Mishin
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnist/107459-0/
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper…but a "freeman" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Obama Ok With Racist Judge
Wait until you read this crap. I may add a few of my own remarks as this article goes along. I think you will know which comments are mine.
This is what Obama is telling the American people. If you don't like my racist pick for the highest court in the land, then sit on this!
NBC News and msnbc.com
updated 5:43 p.m. CT, Fri., May 29, 2009
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama called criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sonia (Racist) Sotomayor "nonsense" Friday, telling NBC News that while Sotomayor would probably rephrase (lie) her eight-year-old comments on race, she would be "a good judge."(my puppet)
In an exclusive interview with Brian Williams, anchor of "NBC Nightly News," Obama said it was important to look at "the entire scope" (what we say the scope is) of Sotomayor's comments in a speech in 2001 at the University of California Law School.(because it leaves a lot more room to make up lies)
Sotomayor, a U.S. district judge in New York whom Obama nominated to replace Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court this week, said a "wise (racist) Latina woman" with her experiences would more often than not reach a "better conclusion"(my conclusions) than a (evil) white male.
Critics (smart non-racist people) pounced on the comments as evidence that Sotomayor would be an (racist) "activist" judge, but Obama said her comments made it clear that she was "the exact opposite."(tell a lie often enough it becomes truth)
"I'm sure she would have restated it,"(lied) the president said. "But if you look in the entire sweep of the essay that she wrote, what's clear is that she was simply saying that her life experiences will give her information about the struggles and hardships that people are going through.(which has nothing to do with following the law and interpreting the Cosntitution)
"That will make her a good judge,"(my puppet) Obama said in the interview, which will air in its entirety next week in a two-part NBC News special on life in the White House.
Judge 'understands … day-to-day lives'
The controversy over Sotomayor's comments is likely to come up next week, when she is scheduled to meet with Democratic Sens. Harry Reid of Nevada and Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
Sessions and other Republican senators have said Sotomayor would get a fair hearing and was almost certain to be confirmed. But other conservative figures have seized on Sotomayor's 2001 speech as proof of her bias against whites and men. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called her a "racist" in an online posting.(two thumbs up Newt!)
Obama sharply defended Sotomayor, saying that in her confirmation hearings "all this nonsense that is being spewed out will be revealed for what it is."(Hopefully, the truth)
In the same speech, Sotomayor pointed out "that it was nine white males who passed down Brown versus Board of Education, which is partly responsible for me sitting here," Obama said, in reference to the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling that made school segregation illegal.
"So that's hardly the kind of statement that would indicate that she subscribes to identity politics," he said.(Is that all you got?)
"Part of the job of a justice on the Supreme Court, or any judge, is to be able to stand in somebody else's shoes, to be able to understand the nature of the case and how it has an impact on people's ordinary day-to-day lives,"(THAT IS NOT THE JOB OF A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW IT) Obama said, adding that Sotomayor would be able to understand the concerns of both "the farmer in Iowa" and "a corporate CEO."
"That breadth of experience, that knowledge of how the world works, is part of what we want for a justice who's going to be effective," he said.(HELL, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YET IF SHE UNDERSTANDS THE CONSTITUTION. AND HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW THAT SHE KNOWS "HOW THE WORLD WORKS".)
Gibbs laments 'poor' choice of words
Still, the president implicitly agreed with White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, who called Sotomayor's choice of words in her 2001 speech "poor."
Gibbs told reporters that Sotomayor was "simply making the point that personal experiences are relevant to the process of judging, that your personal experiences have a tendency to make you more aware of certain facts in certain cases, that your experiences affect your understanding."
AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!
Can you tell this really makes me mad?
Hot Off The Wires
Obama Says Sotomayor Would Clarify a (racist)Remark
The above story just hit the net.
This should be classic. How do you lie your way out of making racist remarks? I'm betting they use Obama's speech writers to help her out on this one.
Don't forget to take the pledge
Racist Judge Sonia
Sotomayor's Focus on Race Issues May Be Hurdle
Gee, ya think?
Friday Night Poke In The Eye
I have no respect for a tin-pot dictator that rules with an iron fist and starves his own people so he can build big bombs. If anyone wants to see modern day slavery, all they need do is visit North Korea to see an entire nation of slaves, too weak, and too scared to revolt.
Enjoy poking fun at these jerks simply because they deserve it. So while you are laughing at this video, understand that I am not making fun of the poor people that have the heel of a boot held firmly on their face every minute of the day. Watching this video will make you laugh, but think about what happens to the poor guy at the end. That's not funny!
Why does the world put up with crazy ass dictators anyway? Never mind…
Buried in Debt
In a mere 4 months, Obama's runaway spending has pushed the federal government's deficits to a record $63.8 trillion! That mountainous debt has to be repaid by — guess who?
This means an additional $55,000 in debt per household. We are so screwed….

Leap in U.S. debt hits taxpayers with 12% more red ink
By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY – May 29, 2009 http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-05-28-debt_N.htm
Taxpayers are on the hook for an extra $55,000 a household to cover rising federal commitments made just in the past year for retirement benefits, the national debt and other government promises, a USA TODAY analysis shows. The 12% rise in red ink in 2008 stems from an explosion of federal borrowing during the recession, plus an aging population driving up the costs of Medicare and Social Security.
That's the biggest leap in the long-term burden on taxpayers since a Medicare prescription drug benefit was added in 2003.
The latest increase raises federal obligations to a record $546,668 per household in 2008, according to the USA TODAY analysis. That's quadruple what the average U.S. household owes for all mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other debt combined.
"We have a huge implicit mortgage on every household in America — except, unlike a real mortgage, it's not backed up by a house," says David Walker, former U.S. comptroller general, the government's top auditor.
USA TODAY used federal data to compute all government liabilities, from Treasury bonds to Medicare to military pensions.
Bottom line: The government took on $6.8 trillion in new obligations in 2008, pushing the total owed to a record $63.8 trillion.
The numbers measure what's needed today — set aside in a lump sum, earning interest — to pay benefits that won't be covered by future taxes.
Congress can reduce or increase the burden by changing laws that determine taxes and benefits for programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., says exploding debt has focused attention on the government's financial challenges. "More and more, people are worried about our fiscal future," he says.
Key federal obligations:
• Social Security. It will grow by 1 million to 2 million beneficiaries a year from 2008 through 2032, up from 500,000 a year in the 1990s, its actuaries say. Average benefit: $12,089 in 2008.
• Medicare. More than 1 million a year will enroll starting in 2011 when the first Baby Boomer turns 65. Average 2008 benefit: $11,018.
•Retirement programs. Congress has not set aside money to pay military and civil servant pensions or health care for retirees. These unfunded obligations have increased an average of $300 billion a year since 2003 and now stand at $5.3 trillion.

'I Know Where I'm Going'
A young cancer survivor reflects on spirituality, music, and the power of intention.
New York City native Matthew Zachary was a young, gifted pianist who dreamed of composing film scores. But during his senior year of college, everything changed when he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. After a seven hour surgery, he began an intense round of chemotherapy which left him weakened and depressed. He ultimately chose not to undergo a further round of chemotherapy and instead focused on regaining his ability to play the piano. In 2000, he released his first album of original material, 'Scribblings.' He founded the website I'mTooYoungforThis.org, to provide resources for other young cancer survivors.
Today, Zachary's cancer is in remission, he performs his music around the country, and he puts his energy into helping young people cope with cancer. He talks to Beliefnet about faith, mantras, and the healing power of music.
What are your goals with I'm Too Young for This?
I'm here to tackle what we do with these people who are going to get cancer, and how do we make it as easy as possible to eliminate the burden. Because odds are they're going to live, but odds are they're going to have many problems, Medicines today are very similar to the HIV cocktail; they keep the cancer in check. There's a huge backlash against these organizations that keep shoveling the word "cure" into our brains when no one really even knows what that means anymore. It's just an arbitrary term, because we don't feel cured. There are 25,000 people who log onto I'mTooYoungforThis.org that feel that way about it, who don't Relay For Life and don't Walk For The Cure, don't yawn and knit and saunter for the cure. They're all about quality of life, socially networking with other people and sharing their bitch parade about what's wrong.
What is your faith background? Did your faith change during and after your treatment?
I grew up Jewish. My parents were modern Conservative, I would say, more--less about the God and more about the culture, and more about sort of the spirituality of it and the ideas of family and community and tzedekah. When I got sick, I never asked, "Why me," and I never asked "Dear God, what the hell are you doing to me," you know? When you're 21 you don't know what's going on anyway, you're in a place where you can't even find yourself to begin with, so how do you find yourself when this stuff happens? You really start searching.
And I actually went to my rabbi, who came to the hospital to visit me and had been my family rabbi for 20 years. And, even he was like, "this is about your own ability to make your own decisions. There's no right or wrong here." I explored Buddhism, and I did explored Zen, and I explored Shinto, and I explored, you know, some of the tenets of basic Christianity.
Music really became that element for me, became my dogma. I was so blessed to just have this channel of energy to put out there to the universe, and this is me. This is my legacy. I can write music. I can put what I feel into sound, and other people will hear that energy.
Do you have any particular mantras or prayers that helped you get through treatment?
I had a mantra that I came up with while I was in treatment, and I wound up printing out hundreds of pieces of paper and literally wallpapering my bedroom with this mantra in all different fonts and colors and stuff like that. You couldn't see anything in my room. The walls were just literally wallpapered with these--with the same slogan. And the slogan was, "Everything that happens to you, whether you like it or not, becomes a part of your life, and you must live your life and be the best you can be every step of the way, because what choice do you have?"
Do you believe that prayer has any healing properties?
My first cousin is a rabbi. He happened to be in Jerusalem in January of '96, and he led a minyan at the Wailing Wall on my day of surgery. I believe in prayer because that has nothing to do with God. It's about human intention. You put yourself out there. You send some energy out to the universe.
Everyone has to make whatever decision gives them comfort and gives them hope, and helps them find some sort of acceptance within their own spirit and their own life. I've never been in a better place in my life spiritually. I know where I'm going. And if I die tomorrow, I'll know what I've left. And not many people can get there, and I think that that's something people need to think more about.
If you have a means to express yourself, like, creatively, whether it's a blog or writing music or writing poetry or an essay or a book, you need to use that. That's the most important tool you have as a human being. And I could go on and say God gave us the power to think, but whatever, you know? You have the power to express yourself. Use it. We're the only species that does this, so why not take advantage of it?
What do you believe healing means? What does it mean to you to be healed?
I guess my first response would be that life is a long-term healing process, that death is healing. And the healing never ends. I don't think anyone can ever really be healed. And that's not a negative thing.
I think from a cognitive or a spiritual perspective, you're never really healed because your goal should be to better yourself and improve your contributions to society and make good on your purpose on this planet.
So, if there's always going to be changing influences in your life and decisions, healing has to catch up to that. So, I don't think there's ever a conclusive end to that, you know? I think healing is in the mind of the person being healed.

I'm writing in response to an article forwarded to me through Facebook about Fort Morgan High School adding a drug testing policy for high school activities.
The idea of a random drug testing policy for high school athletics and activities is appalling. First of all I'd like to point out that I'm a FMHS alumni and I represented Colorado and had the opportunity to represent the United States in athletics while I was still in HS and later participated in Div. 1 athletics and club activities and even at those levels I was not subjected to drug testing, random or otherwise. This type of testing is not required by CHASA and to put it in perspective, it is more strict/stringent than the current drug testing policy for the NFL.
The proposed policy implies that there is a higher likelihood that students participating in activities are doing drugs and should be tested than the general student body. My experience in high school and as a volunteer coach that works with kids from 4-18 leads me to believe the opposite is true. Dedicating time, effort, and energy to a sport or activity has a better chance of keeping you away from drugs and alcohol as a teen than it has of pushing you towards them. This can be seen in the higher drug and alcohol consumption rates in rural communities where there are fewer activities available; this is seen and well studied both in Colorado and nationally.
Drug testing in athletics is usually conducted to ensure an even playing field, that no athlete gets an unfair advantage. I fail to see how the random testing evens the playing field in the recreational activities/clubs offered by FMHS. Is there a drug that makes you better at acting in the school play or playing in the band, choir or singers? I'd say a far more likely scenario is that they are trying to test as many people as possible and are trying to do so by including all "activities" so they can cast a wider net. The proposal is for 20 students to be tested per week and school lasts about 40 weeks. So either you have the chance of being "randomly selected" more than once or they intend on testing close to 800 different students per year. That covers the majority of the total enrollment, 89 percent in fact.
My next issue is what will the school do with the information when someone tests positive? Presumably a law will have been broken, will the school take the issue to the police? That seems like the logical choice so the police can work to stop illegal drug sales not just consumption. That would also mean legal punishment for the users caught by this policy. The other option is to withhold the information from the police. So let's say a student tests positive on a drug test and police are not notified, instead the student isn't allowed to participate in sports or school activities for a couple of weeks. Then a month later the student is killed in a drug-related auto accident or kills someone else. In my opinion the school is opening themselves up for issues of liability when they have information about illegal drug use and withhold that from the police.
I also want to challenge the idea that the tests will be random. If a student tests positive in the early fall sports season, wouldn't it make sense to test them again mid and late season in the same sport? If they then play a winter sport and/or a spring sport wouldn't it make sense to test them again and again because they tested positive once. If that's the case the test is no longer random. Also, do you get punished for being an active member in your HS, by that I mean would you get your name in the drawing an additional time for every club and sport you participate in?
There's also a question as to what will happen if a student refuses to take the drug test. Will they get the same punishment as someone that tested positive—guilty without proof. If a student refuses to pay the five dollars to help offset the cost of the program will they not be able to participate? What if it's a week before graduation and a student refuses the test?
I'd like to end with this: I participated in drug testing while on active duty in the Air Force and I still have periodic drug testing to keep my credentials current to work in the health-care field. I believe there is a time and place for drug testing but it's not in our HS. I sincerely hope that since this article came to me in April that it's just a bad April Fools joke. If not I think it's a huge overstep by the school system in Fort Morgan.
