Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher acquitted of killing ISIS prisoner has ranking reduced

WATCH Navy SEAL acquitted in ISIS prisoner killing loses rank at sentencing
One day after former Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher was found not guilty on charges of killing an ISIS prisoner during an Iraq deployment, he was sentenced on a lesser charge of wrongfully posing for an unofficial picture with a human casualty.
His ranking was reduced from E7, which is chief petty officer, to E6, first class petty officer.
This could mean a significant pay reduction including his retirement money. Gallagher, a decorated Navy SEAL, was also sentenced to four months' confinement but walked away a free man because of time served in the Brigg before trial.
"I put a black eye on the two communities that I love -- the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy -- specifically the SEAL community," he said in court on Wednesday. "I've made mistakes in my 20 years -- tactical, ethical, moral. I'm not perfect but I've always bounced back from my mistakes and I will bounce back."

Tim Parlatore, an attorney for Gallagher, said that Gallagher would be retiring.
"This has been a long and difficult process for him. He's been exonerated of the most significant charges and it's time for him to go be with his family," Partalore said Wednesday. "It was a regretful decision to pose in the photos. It's something that obviously if he could take that back, he would."
Gallagher and his wife, Andrea Gallagher, had initially told the media they would make remarks after the sentencing hearing but instead walked to their car.

Gallagher wished the media a Happy Fourth of July and when asked about the sentence he said: "I feel fine. It's all right."
He'd been facing a court-martial on charges of murdering the ISIS prisoner in 2017. He was found not guilty of the murder charge on Tuesday.
He and his wife did speak to "Fox and Friends" on Wednesday morning in an exclusive interview to thank his supporters, including President Donald Trump, who'd moved him in March from the Brig to a less restrictive confinement while he awaited trial.
"They tried to frame me as a criminal from the get-go but, you know, we knew the truth the whole time," Gallagher said. "We knew I was innocent of these charges the whole time."
Congratulations to Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher, his wonderful wife Andrea, and his entire family. You have been through much together. Glad I could help!

During his war crimes trial in a San Diego courtroom, prosecutors described Gallagher as a soldier who regularly shot at civilians and accused him of killing an ISIS prisoner in 2017 by stabbing him in the neck. Defense lawyers argued that no blood evidence was ever found on Gallagher's belongings and that there were no videos of the alleged incidents.
They further argued that the platoon was disgruntled with Gallagher and fabricated the allegations against him.
In a shocking twist during the trial, however, Special Operator First Class Corey Scott, a Navy medic, testified he saw Gallagher stab the ISIS prisoner, but that it was Scott who suffocated the prisoner to death as an act of mercy.

Scott said he "wanted to save" the prisoner from the fate he would face if turned over to Iraqi authorities, adding "I knew he was going to die anyway," according to the New York Times.
Scott said the ISIS prisoner was stabilized after he and Gallagher treated him for wounds suffered in an airstrike.

Gallagher allegedly stabbed the prisoner, and Scott testified that he would have lived through the stabbing had Scott not suffocated him, according to the AP. During Scott's testimony, prosecutor Lt. Brian John reiterated several times that Scott had never said this before.
John told the courtroom that Scott had immunity and suggested that he was claiming to have killed the ISIS prisoner to prevent Gallagher from going to prison.
The AP reported that Scott responded, "Yes."

The prosecution presented several text messages Gallagher sent his platoon, including one that allegedly read "I've got a cool story when I get back, I got him with my hunting knife."
"I thought everyone would be cool, next time I will do it so no one sees," Gallagher wrote to his platoon, once they allegedly turned on him. "Ready to kill the mother ------ who tells on me and I've got s--- on all of you to bring you down."

La Canzone al Metauro è una composizione poetica di Torquato Tasso.
La "Canzone al Metauro", che è tratta dalle Rime e che segna il punto forse più alto della lirica tassiana, fu concepita nell'estate del 1578, durante il soggiorno del poeta a Fermignano, presso Urbino, ospite dell'amico Federico Bonaventura. Fuggitivo per la seconda volta da Ferrara, Tasso sperava allora ardentemente d'essere preso al servizio del duca urbinate Francesco Maria della Rovere; e in quella sosta piena di incertezza la campagna marchigiana gli suggerì un componimento di grande fascino, dove il tema encomiastico dell'esordio e la successiva, convenzionale protesta contro la fortuna crudele cedono presto al prepotente affiorare dell'io soggettivo del poeta, che lamenta la propria triste condizione di esule e ricorda alcune tappe della propria tormentata biografia (il brusco distacco dalla madre, le peregrinazioni di corte in corte, la povertà e la morte del padre Bernardo). Nella "Canzone al Metauro", secondo F. Erspamer, " l'angoscia personale si confonde con quella generale, a esprimere un'alienazione e un malessere storici"; in essa " attraverso i temi dell'esilio, della fuga e della tragicità del vivere, un'esperienza fortemente autobiografica riesce a diventare esemplare"
La canzone è composta da tre strofe in endecasillabi e settenari. La fronte di ciascuna strofa ha due piedi aBC, aBC; la sirma presenta due volte lo schema CDEe, DFGGFHHFII.

Trama della canzone

Tasso si ferma su un fiume, il Metauro delle Marche, dove riflette sulle sua triste condizione da fuggitivo. Egli esalta le qualità del fiume, rigoglioso e circondato da graziosi alberi verdi. In particolare una quercia, albero dello stemma della famiglia dei Della Rovere, attrae l'attenzione del poeta il quale, ritenendosi bersagliato dalla cattiva sorte e dalla dea Fortuna in particolare, vorrebbe essere seppellito in mezzo alle sue foglie. Dopo aver riepilogato le tappe più infelici della sua vita da quando si è recato presso la corte di Alfonso II d'Este alla fuga presso le Marche, Tasso ricorda piangente l'affetto dolce che aveva la propria madre per lui quando era fanciullo. I dolci baci, le languide carezze e la morte per malattia sono solo un fosco ricordo e lo stesso accade con il padre, uomo tutto d'un pezzo, ma che Tasso ricorda sempre con rimorso. Al termine della canzone Torquato Tasso intende narrare in maniera dettagliata ciò che lo turba, ma s'interrompe.

Analisi del testo
Le "Rime" tassiane più apprezzate sono quelle in cui il poeta canta liricamente la propria vita. È ciò che accade in questa canzone incompiuta, che già i lettori del tardo Cinquecento consideravano un capolavoro per la diretta effusione degli affetti che il poeta ha travasato nei versi. Non mancano neppure qui gli spunti cortigiani, come avviene per esempio ai vv. 7-9 con l'iperbolica rappresentazione della Quercia, i cui rami si distendono su monti e mari, a suggerire la potenza dei duchi di Urbino; l'esordio della canzone è ricco di simili spunti elogiativi (figlio piccolo, sì ma glorioso, v.2; cortesi.....sponde, v.5; ombra....ospital, v.11; gentil riposo e sede, v.12). Ma questi elementi vengono riequilibrati nella meditazione autobiografica che si snoda a partire dal v.21.

Colpisce l'insistenza con la quale Tasso si dice incalzato dalla sorte avversa, spietata nel tendergli agguati da cui appunto spera salvezza grazie alla protezione del signore do Urbino. All'implicita epicizzazione della propria vicenda di vittima della fortuna, si sovrappongono gli accenti, tra il commosso e il drammatico, con cui il poeta ricorda la tragica esperienza del distacco dalla madre, qui rievocata con desolata intensità. La canzone trova il suggello nel verso finale (a me versato il mio dolor sia tutto), che suona come un singhiozzo o un'epigrafe, per esprimere la certezza di un destino di dolore e il sentimento dell'amara rassegnazione (o di stoica accettazione) di fronte al fato.

La dolente meditazione si serve di uno stile magniloquente, intonato a quel "sublime" che informa anche la "Gerusalemme liberata". Non a caso prevalgono gli austeri endecasillabi, rispetto ai più morbidi e musicali settenari; frequenti enjambements (per esempio "non niega/ .....riposo", v.11-12; "cruda /e cieca dèa", vv.14-15) spezzano il ritmo lirico, sottolineando i momenti più meditativi o l'addensarsi dei concetti; anafore in funzione enfatizzante sono presenti qua e là, come ai vv. 45-46 con due significati di "amarezza" prima e "fanciullezza" poi. Il lessico è rivestito di una patina aulica, con impiego sistematico di latinismi (chiaro, aure, egra), termini letterari (m'appiattì, risalda) e citazioni (con sospir mi rimembra), perifrasi eloquenti (per designare per esempio la Fortuna: cruda / e cieca dèa, vv. 14-15; ingiusta e ria, v. 24). Un intero verso petrarchesco (il già menzionato " con sospir mi rimembra", v. 34) viene con naturalezza incastonato entro il discorso poetico. Impreziosiscono il dettato chiasmi (egro e morto / la tomba e il letto, vv. 56-58), antitesi (piccolo / glorios, v.2; sepolcro / cuna, v.28) e altre figure retoriche, come l'ipallage aggettivale " per solingo calle/ notturno" (vv.17-18).

REVIEW: 'Deadpool 2' is a blast thanks to its relentless comedy
"Deadpool 2" is a lot like its predecessor. It's very funny, but is at times shallow and carries its share of flaws.
The film sets off with Deadpool, AKA Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) now living a fairly comfortable life, working as a mercenary and living with his girlfriend Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). Following a disastrous series of events, though, Wilson finds himself without the love of his life and in prison with only a young fire-powered mutant named Russell (Julian Dennison) as company.
Wilson's problems only increase when a new foe named Cable (Josh Brolin) emerges. Cable soon reveals that his goal is to kill Russell, and Deadpool sets out to stop him.
As previously stated, I found this sequel to be quite funny, even more than the first film. The comedy, mainly from Deadpool's references and quips, are relentless, and nearly all of it lands. From jabs at movies under the DC Comics banner to comedic pokes at the "X-Men" films, Deadpool really does it all.
This is, of course, made possible thanks to Reynolds' great performance. The movie really shows off his brilliant comedic timing and his charisma makes Deadpool's jokes work.
Credit also has to go to Brolin, who brings a great deadpan response to most of Deadpool's humor. The interactions between the two characters are some of the best moments the film has to offer.
For all of its comedy, though, "Deadpool 2" doesn't have as much to offer in depth. Deadpool does have a character arc in the film and it tries to be serious, but it always seems to be undercut by the humor that's just around the corner.
As a result, it does become difficult to connect with "Deadpool 2" on any level more than just that of a comedy. Well, I should say that it's more of an action-comedy, since there is action here and it is really well shot.
This film was directed by David Leitch, who has a lot of experience with stunt work and helmed last year's "Atomic Blonde." While I didn't particularly love "Atomic Blonde," the film did feature one of the best action sequences of 2017.
Leitch and his crew return with some more solid work this time around, with a couple great action set pieces that are quite engaging.
"Deadpool 2" is a feature that can keep an audience's attention solidly for its two hour runtime. It provides the laughs and the thrills that one wants from this character.
However, the story did get a bit clunky in its second act and the film as a whole is a bit hollow since any attempts at emotional moments are downplayed by the humor. 3.5 out of 5.

Insights From Kadi
1. The gender pay gap is evident in churches
While there are many factors that attribute to a gender pay gap in churches (like area of the country, culture, denomination and individual church environment), it is still quite clear that a gap exists.
Kadi believes that a lot of this comes from the leftover inculturation around gender roles. She says, "Even in more progressive or egalitarian in churches, we still tend to have a bit of a bias around women as homemakers or having children. So when we bring them into leadership, it's at a little different pace. But definitely in more conservative realms, we see this as a greater issue, largely because we tend to give women similar jobs, but we give them much less authoritative titles."
2. Ways for hybrid employers to level the playing field
Because of COVID and the rise of employees seeking more flexibility, hybrid workspaces are becoming the norm. So, how can we make sure that employees are receiving and experiencing the same advantages of physically being together? Kadi offers two ways:
Determine your rhythms of connection
This is even important for virtual companies in order to build relationships and maintain trust. Some possible questions to consider would be, do we want an annual retreat where we fly everybody in and we spend three or four days together? Do we want a quarterly meeting? Do we want a weekly day where everyone's in the office one day a week?
Adjust your expectations as the leader
Especially in the church, we tend to be run by leaders who are used to a platform and an audience. If you're used to that kind of frontline platform space, and that's how you read your staff, challenge yourself to use some other tools in your leadership toolbox.
3. Know your personal leadership values to determine your leadership voice
In Kadi's book, Find Your Leadership Voice in 90 Days, she walks leaders through a program to help them discover the leader God has wired them to be.
Kadi believes we all have a leadership voice, and one way she teaches leaders how to find this is through helping them identify their personal leadership values. Knowing your leadership voice can influence the kind of jobs you take, the way you organize your leadership, the things you speak up against or for, and the things you stay quiet on.
Quotes from Episode 461
There is definitely a gender gap in churches around equal pay for equal work. @kadicole Click To Tweet I don't believe we should have to choose between being respected and making sure we're being paid fairly. @kadicole Click To Tweet If you look at men and women holistically, there is about a 15 to 18% difference in wages overall. @kadicole Click To Tweet Confidence really comes through competence. @kadicole Click To Tweet When you have power, you cannot have an equal relationship with another person that's in your organization. It's not possible. @kadicole Click To Tweet The more we lean into collaboration, the more we're going to see growth, and connection, and accessibility, and better leadership decisions for the people we serve. @kadicole Click To Tweet My job as a leader is to actually collaborate in a way where we are using work to develop people. We're not using people to develop our work. @kadicole Click To Tweet Just because you're paid less, doesn't mean you're being discriminated or overlooked. It could mean that you're still growing. But asking the question and understanding why is the key towards moving forward together. @kadicole Click To Tweet

Eagly's work on the labyrinth of leadership describes the barriers throughout a women's career, both inside and outside of the workplace. It takes so much more effort, education, and focus for women to show themselves to be at the same level as men in the workplace, and then they have to work just as hard at home. And yet, no one ever asks a man how he intends to try to balance work and family. The gender pay gap exists in that many women are more educated and work just as hard as men but will never be considered for certain positions (especially in the church). Kadi is right that the same qualifications do not beget the same position or pay, even in egalitarian denominations.
Eagly has a book, but you can read the seminal article here: https://hbr.org/2007/09/women-and-the-labyrinth-of-leadership

Great podcast! I have a friend who is smack in the middle of a "pay inequity" in a church, but she has put herself in this awkward position and is unable to see it. She performs "housekeeping" duties for the church on a weekly basis (vacuum and dust all areas, including offices, clean and restock all bathrooms) and has done so for many years. Her compensation has always been very modest, but she is being taken advantage of. The church can afford to pay her a wage comparable to what a contract service would charge for the same duties, but brushes off her requests. Their position is; "We truly appreciate your service, but your husband is the bread winner of your family, as he should be." This is not only condescending, it is insulting. The problem is, her husband was not a leader in the church when she started cleaning, but is now the chair person of elders. He recuses himself from any discussion of compensation for his wife, but fails to encourage the elders to fairly compensate ALL church employees. My recommendation was for her to resign, (they don't need the extra income, but that isn't the point) however she is afraid that will reflect negatively on her husband in his position. What a mess.

Senate Republicans are drafting a stopgap spending bill to extend the funding deadline for approximately 25% of the federal government until February 8, according to three sources.
The proposal comes following a stark shift in the White House's stance going into negotiations. Trump initially refused to budge from his demand for $5 billion in border wall funding, a nonstarter for Democrats that prompted the possibility of a partial government shutdown.
A compromise seemed unlikely after a televised meeting in the Oval Office last week, when Trump clashed with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, and Senate Minority Leader Schumer on the need for wall funding. The President ultimately took ownership of a possible shutdown.
"I'll tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck," Trump told the top Senate Democrat. "So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it."
But White House press secretary Sarah Sanders suggested Tuesday that the White House could agree to a compromise bill to keep the government open, because "we have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion."
"We will work with Congress if they will make sure we get a bill passed that provides not just the funding for the wall, but there's a piece of legislation that's been pushed around that Democrats actually voted 26-5 out of committee that provides roughly $26 billion for border security including $1.6 billion for the wall," she told Fox News. "That's something that we would be able to support as long as we can couple that with other funding resources."
Schumer had previously proposed such a bill to avert a shutdown, but retracted it last week because it would not have passed the House, partially due to House Democrats' opposition to $1.6 billion in border security.

Emily Wilson on "Translating the Odyssey Again: How and Why"
By Michelle Alonzo
On a stage aptly decorated with Doric columns and a large amphora, Emily Wilson kicked off the first talk of the 37th Annual Key West Literary Seminar, "Translating the Odyssey Again: How and Why," by reading from her 2018 translation of Homer's Odyssey to a packed auditorium. Contained in the verse was a description of Hermes flying over the indigo ocean "laced with crisscross currents intertwined together," a line which felt like an appropriate description of Wilson's own lifelong commitment to this year's themes of adaptation and archetype.
Already a prolific translator and writer, Wilson's career seems tailor-made for her appearance this year. From her position as a Professor of Classics at the University of Pennsylvania, she has written about tragic tropes from Sophocles through to Milton, and about figures in Classical antiquity whose afterlives have taken on mythic proportions, like Socrates and Seneca. She understands with acute clarity why stories and figures linger and how they speak to writers and readers alike about the big ideas.
Her pledge to expose the multi-vocality of The Odyssey led her to delight the Key West audience with various voices – high-pitched for Penelope and gruff for Odysseus. In a playful attitude, she remarked that Homer's preferred pronoun would probably be "they," since Homer himself is a kind of byword for the plurality of Greek oral tradition. Wilson went on to address the skepticism about the need for another Homeric translation by offering a simple explanation: Homer has never been translated this way. She is right about this fact. She has kept Homer's form and style by keeping the same number of lines and delivering the poem in iambic pentameter (previous versions have translated the poem into free verse when it would otherwise have been recited in dactylic hexameter). Her style is readable and clear — domesticating the language to keep its clarity and vividness in English.
Departing still further from former translations, Wilson spoke about her critical considerations of gender and the ways in which women are referenced in the poem. As such, she chose to highlight the fact that most of the female characters are slaves (not maids or servants), a distinction that makes spotting the systematic silencing of women in the poem easier.
The most impactful moment of the talk was when Wilson read her translation of the scene where Telemachus hangs the twelve raped slave girls. In her version, Wilson describes the girls as doves who crash into the nets, unable to return home. A palpable and somber silence pervaded the auditorium as Wilson commented on homecoming – who returns home and who never makes it?
Translation, Wilson observed in the Q&A portion, is like a portrait; a sitter might sit for many different portraits and each one, however different, will manage to capture a timely truth. Wilson's talk set a high bar and brought to the fore important truths about nostos, xenia, gender, and identity, thereby setting the tone for this year's seminar which — in the face of current events and in the spirit of Wilson's Hermes – is ambitiously examining the tangled, crisscross patterns of literary influences that interweave all of humanity.
Michelle Alonso teaches literature and composition at a high school in Hialeah, Fl. She is particularly interested in identity, gender, and theories of translation in literature.

I only just joined this forum and want to introduce myself. My name is Rob. I have spent 9 and a half years on a journey of spiritual growth. I have had turnoils, ups and down through this period as I struggled with my ego. Most of my identification with the mind was mainly a result of emotional and physical abuse by my father as a child. Two months ago I had an awakening and left all the hate go. Since then my life has been fulfilling and peaceful. In fact, I'm still adjusting to living in peace. I recently came across a video with Eckhart where he stated he too went through this phase. I came across this forum and decided to join as there may be others out there on a similar journey and I hope I can somehow help them.
Welcome aboard, RobS. Take some time and explore what's here, and jump in whenever you want.


CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Following his order in January to clean up the Manila Bay, President Duterte has been asked to certify as urgent a bill that seeks the creation of the Manila Bay Development Authority.
Bataan Rep. Jose Enrique Garcia III made the request for House Bill No. 01419 that has been pending with the House committee on appropriations.
It had passed the committees on government enterprises and ways and means since Garcia filed it on July 12, 2016.

Italy bans unvaccinated children from school
Italian children have been told not to turn up to school unless they can prove they have been properly vaccinated.
The deadline follows months of national debate over compulsory vaccination.
Parents risk being fined up to €500 (£425; $560) if they send their unvaccinated children to school. Children under six can be turned away.
The new law came amid a surge in measles cases - but Italian officials say vaccination rates have improved since it was introduced.
Under Italy's so-called Lorenzin law - named after the former health minister who introduced it - children must receive a range of mandatory immunisations before attending school. They include vaccinations for chickenpox, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS IS RFID CHIPPING THEIR SODA CUPS TO LIMIT REFILLS
By: Blacklistednews
A room at a Universal Studios Florida hotel tonight will cost you $197-$536 (plus admission tickets to the park), but make sure that you do all your soda drinking in one compact session, because Universal has deployed the creepily named Validfill RFID system, which limits your self-service (that is, you do the labor) soda refills to two hours after purchase, and after the time window expires, "you are denied soda by a robot voice."
Kids got 11 vaccines in 1986 and 53 in 2017… why? The answer is all about Big Pharma profits
A bombshell video snippet from Del Bigtree (see below) dares to ask the all-important question: Why have the number of vaccines given to children skyrocketed over the last three decades?
The answer may shock you. In 1986, Congress passed a law granting legal immunity to vaccine manufacturer, but only for vaccines on the childhood immunization schedule. Since then, vaccine makers have worked to push as many vaccines as possible onto that schedule for the sole purpose of enjoying legal immunity from lawsuits for faulty products and vaccine damage.
Thus, children have become a "dumping ground" for faulty vaccines that are manufactured with near-zero quality control measures because forcing those vaccines onto the childhood immunization schedule grants Big Pharma corporations legal immunity from lawsuits.

What nobody is acknowledging is the fact that these outbreaks are happening in highly vaccinated populations. Vaccination coverage of MMR has not dropped, so why is the media saying that parents aren't vaccinating and therefore measles is making a comeback? Washington State has a very high vaccination coverage for MRR. See for yourself, here.

Unvaccinated Children Pose No Risk To Anyone, Says Harvard Immunologist
One of the strengths–and weaknesses–of a Western medical education is its predisposition to break things down and compartmentalize them. While much data is gleaned in the minutiae, very little attention is given to the interrelationship between disciplines. While a medical student may become a true specialist in their field, they too become compartmentalized, and are often ignorant of very important information that would be essential for a broader, more holistic overview. And this appears to be by design.
Even with measles outbreaks across the US, at least 20 states have proposed anti-vaccination bills
Across the country, counties are reporting measles cases: at least 206 in 11 states, per the latest count. On social media, platforms such as Facebook and YouTube are facing pressure to crack down on conspiracy theories and misinformation about vaccines. And on Capitol Hill, lawmakers are discussing what they're calling "a growing public health threat."
But in state after state, legislators are introducing bills that make it easier for people to opt out of vaccinations.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, at least 20 states have introduced bills this year that would
broaden the reasons why parents can exempt kids from getting vaccines even if there isn't a medical need
require doctors to provide more information on the risks of vaccines
Both Butler and Dahan acknowledged what most consumers have long suspected: that the prices we pay for eyewear in no way reflect the actual cost of making frames and lenses.
When he was in the business, in the 1980s and '90s, Dahan said it cost him between $10 and $16 to manufacture a pair of quality plastic or metal frames.
Lenses, he said, might cost about $5 a pair to produce. With fancy coatings, that could boost the price all the way to $15.
He said LensCrafters would turn around and charge $99 for completed glasses that cost $20 or $30 to make — and this was well below what many independent opticians charged. Nowadays, he said, those same glasses at LensCrafters might cost hundreds of dollars.
FACEBOOK PRESSURED TO BLOCK VACCINATION RESISTERS
What's the proper reaction to a minor localized outbreak of measles?
If you're the State of Washington, you declare a State of Emergency.
If you're the New York Times the Washington Post, or NPR you whip up NATIONAL hysteria.
If you're Congress, you hold a hearing to attack the "Anti-Vax nuts."
How about some basic logic and a little science?
If the vaccines are safe, why did Congress did to make the makers legally immune from product liability claims?
If the vaccines are effective, then why not let the people who believe in their safety and effectiveness get them and thereby protect themselves.
Anyone who believes vaccines will make them safe should have nothing to worry about, right?
Uh, not quite.
"The volume of legislative activity is greater than in past years," the organization said. "But averse bills outnumbering supportive ones conforms with trends from prior years."

The Green New Deal Continues the War on Meat
By José Niño
The War on Meat is back in action.
One year ago, I wrote about the "War on Meat" taking place around the West, where government agencies in tandem, with several plant-based activist groups, have made a concerted push to demonize meat. Some plans that they have put forward consist of taxing meat as a means of reducing meat consumption.
With the recently unveiled "Green New Deal", the war drums pounding against beef have only gotten louder. Just like its 20th-century predecessor, the Green New Deal is an economically illiterate legislative package. Robert Murphy wrote two fantastic articles debunking many of the flawed policies included in the Green New Deal such as profligate spending and regulation.
However, this article will focus on the more social engineering aspects of the Green New Deal. Specifically, its anti-meat vision.

Exclusive: OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma exploring bankruptcy -sources
OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma LP is exploring filing for bankruptcy to address potentially significant liabilities from roughly 2,000 lawsuits alleging the drugmaker contributed to the deadly opioid crisis sweeping the United States, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The potential move shows how Purdue and its wealthy owners, the Sackler family, are under pressure to respond to mounting litigation accusing the company of misleading doctors and patients about risks associated with prolonged use of its prescription opioids.
Purdue denies the allegations, arguing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved labels for its opioids carried warnings about the risk of abuse and misuse associated with the pain treatments.

Facebook Doubles Down On Misusing Your Phone Number

When we publicly demanded that Facebook stop messing with users' phone numbers last week, we weren't expecting the social network to double down quite like this: By default, anyone can use the phone number that a user provides for two-factor authentication (2FA) to find that user's profile. For people who need 2FA to protect their account and stay safe, Facebook is forcing them into unnecessarily choosing between security and privacy.

CGI: "He Died As A Direct Result of the HPV Vaccine" – Mother Of Dead Teenager Speaks Out
HPV vaccine injuries are no longer extremely rare. In fact, neither are vaccine injuries in general. This is exemplified by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA). To date, it's paid approximately $4 billion to families with vaccine injured children. These adverse reactions are the reason why the Japanese government, for example, suspended its recommendation of the HPV vaccine. It's also important to note that these injuries only take into account 1 percent of all vaccine injured children, seeing as how 99 percent of vaccine injuries go completely unreported. (source)
Furthermore, the NCVIA completely protects pharmaceutical companies from any blame, which means that they can get away with being completely careless with their products.
Medical doctors across the U.S. speak out against mandatory vaccination laws
One of the myths propagated by the corporate-sponsored "mainstream" media is that medical doctors are united in their support of mandatory vaccination laws.

Vaping Is Saving Lives
By Veronique de Rugy
Tobacco kills half a million people a year.
Talking about the impact of smokers' switching from cigarettes to vaping in a recent interview with Medscape, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said this:
"At face value, we believe that these products pose less risk than combusting tobacco. If you can fully switch every currently addicted adult smoker who is using combustible tobacco products onto e-cigarettes, you will have a profound impact on public health. And some people are able to switch completely. We think that is a public health benefit."
Back in November, he told CNBC: "If we can switch every adult smoker fully to e-cigarettes, it would have a huge public health impact." And in a Tweet on January 19, Gottlieb reaffirmed his belief that "if every currently addicted adult smoker switched completely to e-cigs it would provide a tremendous public health gain."

Amazon Joins Big Tech Assault On Anti-Vaccine Information
As major media and big tech continue freaking out over 159 measles cases in the U.S., anti-vaccine campaigners are increasingly being likened to terrorists as their ability to share information and earn money is being cut off.
The origin of this latest move against the free flow of information seems to have stemmed from a letter sent by Adam Schiff (D-CA) to the heads of Facebook and Google wherein he lamented the increased viewership of the vaccine debate:
"There is strong evidence to suggest that at least part of the source of this trend is the degree to which medically inaccurate information about vaccines surface on the websites where many Americans get their information," Schiff wrote in the letter. "The algorithms which power these services are not designed to distinguish quality information from misinformation or misleading information, and the consequences of that are particularly troubling for public health issues."

Herbicide used in weed killer Roundup is detected in several leading beer and wine brands including Coors Light, Budweiser and Beringer

The report acknowledged that the levels detected were below limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency, but PIRG the results warrant some degree of public concern.

The opioid crisis is the most significant public health issue affecting the US at the moment. Opioid-related deaths across the country have risen more than 4-fold in 18 years, from 2.9 per 100,000 people in 1999 to 13.2 per 100,000 people in 2016, according to a new report.
More than 351,000 Americans have died of opioids between 1999 and 2016, according to the report published Friday by Mathew Kiang, ScD, Center for Population Health Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, and other researchers from the University of Toronto.
An entire class of agricultural pesticides found to damage the brains of children… IQ scores falling nationwide
If you've ever suspected that people are getting dumber by the day, new research has just proven humans really aren't as smart as they used to be. Studies show that the average IQ score has been falling with every generation born after 1975 — and now, scientists believe that at least one pesticide may be to blame for the sudden drop in intellect — if not more.
Countless studies have linked pesticide exposure to an array of health problems in humans, but scientists are now beginning to identify organophosphates, a class of pesticides, as a particularly malicious threat. Among the myriad of ill effects caused by exposure to organophosphates, evidence shows these compounds are fully capable of damaging children's brains.
And of course, these kinds of pesticides are used with abandon. Organophosphates are so dangerous that top researchers are now calling for a total ban on these toxins, due to their potential to harm children.

Norway 2011 Attacks Essay
On 22 July 2011, two successive terrorist attacks including a car bomb and and summer camp massacre attack Norway. This incident forever change the history of Norway which has always been considered as a safe and peaceful country. Surprisingly, all of these attacks are done by one man named Anders Behring Breivik, a right wing extremist. These attacks were fueled by Breivik's disagreement with the government's policy on Muslim immigrants. At the time Muslim population was about 3% of Norway population and has been increasing. The attacks reflect a controversial issue of multiculturalism in modern Norway

Some people tried to swim across the lake and and hide but a lot of them were eventually shot by him. In the aftermath, 69 people were killed and 110 people were injured
The motives for Breivik's action was his strong objection to multiculturalism in Norway. He is considered a radical far right. The manifesto Breivik wrote shows that he has a strong hatred of islam and left wing politics. In the shooting in Utoya, Breivik repeatedly shouted:"You are going to die today, Marxists!". Breivik believes that attacking the Labour party camp will put a fear on the left wing people who are most of the time not against immigrants and multiculturalism. His political beliefs were also the motives for his bombing in front of the prime minister office building. At the time, the prime minister of Norway was Jens Stoltenberg, who was a leader of the Labour Party in Norway. The incumbent Labour party is a centre-left party and has liberal immigrant policies. Breivik wanted to punish the party and start a "conservative" revolution....

MLB rumors: A's have interviewed Mark Kotsay, others for manager
Mark Kotsay
Dalton Johnson
December 7, 2021, 4:28 PM ·2 min read
Report: A's have interviewed Kotsay, others for manager originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
We're a week into December, and while the Athletics are quite the mystery for a handful of reasons, we do know one thing about the franchise right now: They still don't have a manager.
Longtime A's manager Bob Melvin decided to take his talents to San Diego to hold the same position for the Padres at the end of October. The A's, meanwhile, still haven't replaced him.
Melvin, who already has added now former A's bench coach Ryan Christenson to San Diego's staff, hopes that one of his former coaches in Oakland gets the job as A's manager. And his wish could come true.
The Athletic's Britt Ghiroli reported Monday, citing sources, that the A's have interviewed their current third base coach Mark Kotsay for their open managerial job. Ghiroli also reported they have interviewed Boston Red Sox bench coach Will Venable and Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro.
Kotsay, Venable and Quatraro have already interviewed, sources say. https://t.co/93X2iuO6bC
— Britt Ghiroli (@Britt_Ghiroli) December 6, 2021
Kotsay, 46, joined the A's coaching staff ahead of the 2016 season as a bench coach. In 2017, he was named quality control coach and now serves as their third base coach.
RELATED: Why Athletics let Bob Melvin leave for Padres without compensation
He also had a 17-year MLB career as an outfielder, including four seasons with the A's. While with the A's from 2004 through 2007, Kotsay hit .282 with 38 home runs and a .747 OPS. Over his MLB career, Kotsay hit .276 with 127 homers and a .737 between seven different teams.
The A's and New York Mets are the only two teams without a manager in the major leagues right now.

I finally decided to give gluten-free baking a try. Not because I have celiac disease, but because I wanted to see if how my desserts turned out when I eliminated gluten. Believe me, it was not an easy task nor was it an inexpensive one. I have a new found respect for people who do this sort of baking regularly. In the end, the whoopie pies turned out delicious – deep, rich and dark. I used raw local honey, not processed sugar, in the recipe so the flavor is deep and sophisticated.
We packed up our gluten-free whoopie pies and headed down to Rock Harbor in Orleans on good old Cape Cod. Everyone comes out to watch the sunset. We arrived early.
It's such a wonderful feeling to be by the water, breathe in the fresh air, and wait for the sunset. … I love how trees, not spikes, guide the boats into the harbor.
As the sun began to set, a steel drum band came out to play. People poured onto the beach with their kids and their picnics. It restores your faith in humanity to see people setting aside time to watch nature at its finest.
The next time you head out to watch the sunset, don't forget to bring the whoopie pies.
Melt butter and chocolate together. Stir until mixed. In the bowl of a standing mixer, add remaining add dry ingredients and chocolate butter mixture and mix. Add egg and 1/2 c honey. Mix. If you add too much honey at this point, the mixture will separate. To prevent this problem, place plastic wrap over the bowl and refrigerate overnight. You can additional ingredients the next day.
Chill mixture overnight. The next day, remove the mixture and allow it to sit out until the dough is the consistency of modeling clay (about 1-2 hours). In a small and separate bowl stir the "day two" ingredients together. Add this mixture to the dough. Return dough bowl to the stand mixer. Mix well.
Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out mixture. Roll into balls and press the tops slightly flat with the palm of your hand. Place balls onto a silpat. Bake 10-12 minutes. Baking time will vary by oven. Cakes are done when they firm up around the edges and the tops begin to crack. Cool on wire rack.
For the filling, melt the chocolate. Add the melted chocolate to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the remaining filling ingredients. Refrigerate until the mixture is like frosting – about 30 minutes. Once cool add desired amount of filling between two cakes.
I love whoopee pies and yours look ver tempting! What a gorgeous place.
Thanks Rosa! Hope you're doing well.
Cape Cod is truly magical. I wish I had the time to visit. I've never made anything gluten-free though I have tried packaged gluten-free desserts and found them to be not very good. Your whoopie pies look glorious! Love the solid ingredients. I might have to make them!
I'm not a fan either but these are pretty tasty.
They Krista- they were really good.

The Tulane Green Wave men's basketball team represents Tulane University in NCAA Division I college basketball. The team competes in the American Athletic Conference. They play home games on campus in Devlin Fieldhouse, the 9th-oldest active basketball venue in the nation. The team's last appearance in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament was in 1995.

Tulane is the only school from the original Metro Conference that remained in the conference through its 1975 founding, the 1991 breakup that saw several schools form the Great Midwest Conference, the 1995 reunification that created today's Conference USA, and the 2004 realignment of conferences. It rejoined many of its previous conference mates when it became a member of the American Athletic Conference in 2014.

History

Tulane's men's basketball team played its first game on December 9, 1905.

The program fell victim to one of the biggest scandals of the 1980s in college sports when four players, including star forward "Hot Rod" Williams, were accused of taking money and cocaine to alter the final point spreads of games they played in. Clyde Eads and Jon Johnson were granted immunity to testify against Williams, the alleged ringleader. Although he was indicted, the judge eventually declared a mistrial, and no sentence was handed down. Williams spent the next nine years with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. Within days of Williams' indictment, the entire basketball coaching staff and the athletic director resigned.  Shortly afterward school president Eamon Kelly disbanded the basketball program. He did not intend ever to allow its return; he relented in 1988 after several students convinced him that they were being punished for something that occurred when they were not at Tulane.

New head coach Perry Clark rebuilt the program to unprecedented success, including a 1991–92 season that started 13–0 and ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The 1992–93 and 1994–95 teams matched that team's success, but Tulane has not approached such heights since. Clark resigned in 2000 to coach the Miami Hurricanes. The Green Wave failed to make any postseason tournament under Clark's successor, Shawn Finney, or under former Maryland assistant Dave Dickerson.

Ed Conroy was hired as the new head coach in 2010. His teams have seen initial success against out-of-conference foes in each of its seasons but have done poorly in conference games. The 2010–11 team finished 13–17 after a 12–3 start, while his 2011–12 team finished 15–16 after starting 14–6.

On March 14, 2016, Tulane fired Conroy after six years as head coach. He was replaced by former longtime NBA coach Mike Dunleavy, Sr. On March 16, 2019, after a 4–27 season, the Tulane athletic department fired Mike Dunleavy Sr.

Popular culture
In the 1992 sports comedy film White Men Can't Jump, character Billy Hoyle mentions he is a former Green Wave player.

What better time than summer to engage in a little bit of nostalgia. The weather is hot, the town shuts down for a couple of months, and all seems geared toward reflection. That's why we were so excited when our friend Judy Shapiro got in touch with us. Judy is the producer and host of Inside Talk, a program that ran on the Needham Channel from 1988 until 2015.
She had heard recently of the passing of one of her previous guests. Rebecca Parris was well known in music circles, and was a world renowned performer–especially in the jazz world. It was a real boon for Judy to line her up for her program, and it stuck in her mind as one of her favorites. She asked us if we would be willing to share the program with Needham once again, and we jumped at the opportunity.
It was fun to see the program once again, and to marvel at how much has changed in what is close to a quarter century ago. Tune in Thursday night at 8:30pm on our Community Channel to see it for yourself and remember an incredible local performer. The show will air all month on Verizon Channel 29, Comcast Channel 9 and RCN Channel 15.
