This & that....Donald Trump's Racist Dream: Reality Dawns!



The 47ers
"I listened as they called my President a Muslim.
I listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys.
I listened as they said he wasn't born here.
I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could.
I saw the pictures of him as Hitler.
I watched them shut down the government and hurt the entire nation twice.
I watched them turn their backs on every opportunity to open worthwhile dialog.
I watched them say that they would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was.
I listened as they openly said that they will oppose him at every turn.
I watched as they did just that.
I listened.
I watched.
I paid attention.
Now, I'm being called on to be tolerant.
To move forward.
To denounce protesters.
To "Get over it."
To accept this...
I will not.
I will do my part to make sure this great American mistake becomes the embarrassing footnote of our history that it deserves to be.
I will do this as quickly as possible every chance I get.
I will do my part to limit the damage that this man can do to my country.
I will watch his every move and point out every single mistake and misdeed in a loud and proud voice.
I will let you know in a loud voice every time this man backs away from a promise he made to them.
Them. The people who voted for him.
The ones who sold their souls and prayed for him to win.
I will do this so that they never forget.
And they will hear me.
They will see it in my eyes when I look at them.
They will hear it in my voice when I talk to them.
They will know that I know who they are.
They will know that I know what they are.
Do not call for my tolerance. I've tolerated all I can.
Now it's their turn to tolerate ridicule.
Be aware, make no mistake about it, every single thing that goes wrong in our country from this day
forward is now Trump's fault just as much as they thought it was Obama's.
I find it unreasonable for them to expect from me what they were entirely unwilling to give."

Curious about #nuclear energy and its place in the #green #energy#revolution? Here is an animation by #Fairewinds Energy Education with research by nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen that takes a look at the economics of Nuclear Power. The nuclear industry has created a#Smokescreen.




Evan K. Duke III to Occupy Inauguration
#OccupyInauguration #SeeYouInDC #ShutItDown
Occupy Inauguration is a mass rally and protest taking place in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day, January 20th-21st, 2017.
Regardless of who sits in the white house the voices of the 99% will be shut out. From day one our movements will need to unite and fight to advance the revolution.
We reject the domination of Wall Street and the billionaire class over our society, and oppose this rigged political and economic system. We stand against both the fear that Trump represents and the corruption that backed Clinton. Neither party represents the interests of the 99%.
The goal of this action is to build a new independent coalition movement for the 99% that stands outside the stranglehold duopoly of the GOP and DNC. We recognize the establishments of the Republican and Democratic parties to be part of the problem, so we will not be inviting leadership from, or endorsement by them. We believe the 99% needs its own political representation that rejects all corporate cash and influence, and puts people and planet over profits.
We call upon the new president to act on these demands:
*NO Mass Deportations! We reject Trump’s current plan to deport 3 million people and call for mass resistance against all attacks upon immigrants, refugees, and their families at local, state, and federal levels.
*Stop ALL Attacks on Human Rights! Bring an end to all forms of discrimination and oppression against women, Black and indigenous communities of color, Latinx communities, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ+ people, and disabled individuals.
*Black Lives Matter! Engage in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives to end institutional racism and police brutality. Acknowledge the value of BLM’s principles to guide law enforcement practices and affirm the demands of their platform. End federal funding for police militarization and the racist war on drugs.
*Honor Treaty Rights for ALL Indigenous First Nations. Cease construction on the DAPL pipeline at Standing Rock and prohibit any further industrial operations on treaty-protected indigenous lands!
*Get Money Out of Politics and End Corporate Rule! We demand a constitutional amendment be passed to abolish ALL "corporate constitutional rights" and "money equals free speech" that leaves for NO loopholes.
*Healthcare is a Human Right! We demand Medicare for All and to pass the Disability Integration Act.
*A Green New Deal, with massive investments in renewable energy and infrastructure to create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.
*ACT Against Climate Change! Halt all construction of new oil pipelines and coal terminals, and place a moratorium on fossil fuel extraction including fracking. We demand a just transition for all energy industry workers.
*Free College Education and the Cancellation of Student Debt.
*Electoral Reform and Integrity! We call for a universal Right to Vote, a Ranked-Voting System, and automatic voter registration. End the Electoral College and partisan gerrymandering of voting districts.
*End Too Big to Fail! Break up the big banks at the heart of the 2008 financial crisis and stop manipulation of wealth before the next economic collapse.
*NO Permanent War! We call for an immediate end to the bombing of foreign nations, military bases occupying foreign soil, massive U.S. military spending, and the U.S. role as leading arms dealer to the world.
*End the surveillance state!
*Grant immediate pardons for all political prisoners and exiles including Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, Mumia Abu-Jahmal, and Leonard Peltier.
*Pass a federal $15/hour minimum wage.
*Scrap the Trans-Pacific Partnership! Should the TPP come to a vote, Congress should immediately vote it down.
Until these demands are genuinely addressed, we remove our consent to be governed.
Our first act will be a national bank exit call to action on January 20th. We call the American people to remove their money from Bank of America, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and all their affiliates.
Should our demands continue to be ignored we will proceed with further boycotts, labor strikes, and occupations.
We know that mass movements are how real change is won, and we are organizing in solidarity with the inspiring resistance at Standing Rock, and all Black Lives Matter actions. We feel that the voices of Black and Indigenous People of Color are crucial to issues of oppression we wish to address in D.C. during the Inauguration.
We invite you to involve and express yourself at whatever level you choose. We do not represent any particular party or group, as our focus is on movement building. This action is aimed to confront Wall Street directly and the RNC/DNC's influence over our political system. We support, represent, and welcome a diversity of voices and concerns.
We stand in solidarity with our current endorsers and welcome other groups who share this vision to organize with us.

Melania Trump's Bio Now Says She 'Paused Her Studies' at College


ALEXANDER SMITH & VLADIMIR BANIC

The official bio of Melania Trump now suggests that she did not complete a college degree in Slovenia, as she previously claimed on her own website.
The future first lady's bio on President-elect Donald Trump's government website says that she "paused her studies to advance her modeling career in Milan and Paris." It does not say whether she resumed or completed the degree.



As recently as July, Melania Trump's personal site said she obtained a degree in design and architecture at an unspecified university in Slovenia, her country of birth.
It did not say when or where she completed the degree but said she was working as a model at the time and "jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan."
Questions began to surface earlier this year about whether this resume was entirely accurate.
Blaz Matija Vogelnik, a professor who said he briefly taught her at Slovenia's University of Ljubljana, told NBC News in August that she did not complete his course.
"She hasn't finished university, at least not in Ljubljana," he said. "My personal opinion is that, because she was very beautiful girl ... I believe that she realized that she could gain more with that, than to have long studies."
Vogelnik noted that his former student had passed a rigorous test to gain entry to the college, and based on that he believed "her IQ was very high."
Had she completed the course, Melania Trump's research would ordinarily be in the university's library, but it could not been found there when NBC News visited the college this summer.
In April, GQ magazine reported that she "decamped to Milan after her first year of college, effectively dropping out." The story included an interview with Melania Trump, as well as friends and former colleagues.
In July, after several other reports cast doubt over her resume claims, she pulled her entire website, saying in a tweet that "it does not accurately reflect my business and professional interests."



Field of Vision - Best of Luck with the Wall



The central pledge of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is essentially a racist pipe dream that will never come to fruition. “I will build a great wall—and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me—and I’ll build them very inexpensively,” Trump has said. “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.” For some perspective on just how insane Trump’s border wall idea is, Digg created a video called “Best of Luck With the Wall” that uses 200,000 satellite images from Google Maps to show what the 2,000-mile wall would look like.
Some construction facts behind a potential U.S.-Mexico border wall:
— It would take over 12 million cubic yards of concrete (three times the amount of the Hoover Dam
— The wall would be greater in volume than all six pyramids of the Giza Necropolis 
 — It would require 5 billion pounds of rebar
— The wall’s initial construction costs would exceed $25 billion
— Wall engineers would have to work around natural flooding zones and large areas of shifting sands
— Over 1,000 miles of the wall would criss-cross private lands which would have to be purchased or aquired through legal means
Is a border wall is even necessary in the first place?
According to Pew Research, the undocumented immigrant population has been stable at just over 11 million for the last decade and has actually dropped since a peak of 12.2 million in 2007. “The unauthorized immigrant population rose rapidly during the 1990s and early 2000s, from an estimated 3.5 million in 1990 to a peak of 12.2 million in 2007. It then dropped sharply during the Great Recession of 2007-09, mainly because of a decrease in unauthorized immigrants from Mexico,” Pew Research says. 
While the U.S. has a better handle on illegal border crossings than Trump lets on or understands, he is also dead on wrong on how undocumented immigrants arrive in the U.S. in the first place. 
According to Politifact as well as The National Review, nearly half of all undocumented immigrants come by plane and overstay their visas. So, while everyone argues whether Trump will build his wall and who will pay for it, we should discuss whether it will make a difference in the first place.

Modern Man

that's happening. Pipeline? That's been happening. Terrorism? Definitely alive and well. Going broke due to health insurance? Mm yes. Corruption throughout the system? Already there. Police officers being murdered? Yep, that's happening. Bullying? Check. Loss of jobs? We've got that on lock. A tanking economy. Yep. Being discriminated against for your religion, political views, sexual orientation, race? That's been going on. Rape, murder, violence, riots.. all going on and has been.
So tell me, what are you scared of that is not already happening basically everywhere? This isn't a Trump problem, this is a people problem. Y'all need to reevaluate your own selves..
Maybe America is a little too scared and a little too easily offended.
Quit being scared, crying around, offended by everything.. step up and do your part as an American, no, as a damn human being. Treat others with respect, help and encourage one another, raise your kids right, be a contributing member of society. Make sure your hands are clean, that's your job. Burning the American flag? Get out of here with that, how about you do your job to make it a better place.
But right now, all I see is hate. It's disturbing, and the ones with the most hate are being exactly what they claim to be against.
Share if you agree....this is common sense to me!
