Ted Nugent just brought to light one important detail that I guarantee none of these Islamic terrorists have even considered. In the Islamic religion, pork and pork products are forbidden because the pig is considered an impure animal. In a Facebook post Ted writes… Chimps & pigs, a match made in hell. ES&D voodooallahpukes. Percy the pig makes for an extremely interesting read. I never knew pigs were in most products!! Every Muslim who has ever handled TNT, Nitro, Bullets, High Explosive Bombs, Rocket Launchers or been treated for cuts injury requiring stitches, or taken antibiotics, or Vitamin Capsules, has been contaminated with Pig Products. The ironical part is that when a Suicide Bomber blows himself up his body parts are impregnated with Gelatine and Glycerine from the explosive. Both Gelatine and Glycerine are manufactured from Pigs worldwide.. Ergo, they will never be accepted by Allah. Some makers of cigarettes use haemoglobin from pig’s blood in their filters. Apparently this element works as a sort of ‘artificial lung’ in the cigarette so, they claim, ‘harmful reactions take place before the chemicals reach the user’, (enter the Pig.) Pig bone gelatine is used to help transport gunpowder or cordite into the bullet. Insulin, the blood-thinning drug heparin and pig heart valves all vital. The complex workings of the global food and processing industry have ensured that it is impossible to avoid pig altogether. There is no legal obligation for manufacturers to specify whether the gelatine they use is from a pig or another animal. When it is specified, it is often confusingly referred to as Suilline gelatine. So to all prospective Suicide Bombers, ISIS and innocent, good Muslims, I say, “Have a Nice Day” from “Percy” the wonderful Pig. Looks like these Muslim terrorists are in for a rude awakening when they reach the afterlife! Thanks for the good news Ted!!

Singing (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Franklin brought a tear to the president’s eye and sent Carole King, the song’s composer, into meltdown Simon Hattenstone Wednesday 30 December 2015 15.50 GMT You want to know why Aretha is the indisputable Queen of Soul? Watch this. You want to know why hacks like me send her fan-mail by the week pleading for an interview, knowing there is sod-all hope, but not resenting her one smidge? Watch this. Aretha is performing at the 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, held on 6 December in Washington and broadcast on CBS on Tuesday night. It wasn’t even Aretha’s night. Oh no. This ceremony was to award, among others, Rita Moreno, George Lucas and Carole King. Then up steps Aretha to sing the King/Goffin/Wexler 1967 classic (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Look at King, open-mouthed in shock and awe (the right kind of shock and awe) – and this is before Aretha’s even opened hers. Everything about Aretha is astonishing – the range, depth, control in her voice, the phrasing, the passion, the playing, the floor-length fur, the sparkling clutch purse. The more Aretha sings, the harder it is to believe that King is not going to die and go to heaven. President Obama is wiping away tears before Aretha’s even done with the first verse. Aretha is 73, looks wonderful, and might just be singing better than ever. To top everything, she throws the mink to the ground with supreme elan. Nobody chucks a fur like Aretha. This is not the performance of the year, it’s the performance of the millennium. Long live the Queen.

***/// Mr. Montana said he was takin' time to be with family and friends... needed a break... would see us after the New Year. Give the poor guy some breathin' room here...! He's the hardest workin' man in DinarLand and owns the best dang RV RollerCoaster Ride this side of Baghdad ! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY !

Zcountess, I think that too many outsiders (IMF, WB, etc...) are involved in this process for nothing to happen. They haven't come this far to just let things stay as they are. The world is watching and waiting not just us.

Jake the rancher had the biggest spread of land in Northern Montana, 2000 acres to be exact and it was a chore sometimes to keep everything going. His nearest neighbor who lived about 10 miles from him owned a Helicopter and about once a week he would fly it around to keep in practice and would fly over Jake's ranch to see if any problems were found, just a friendly gesture and besides he didn't have anything else to do. Jake always kidded Henry that he had more money than he knew what to do with, actually both of them did and Henry decided he would invest in a Helicopter as a play toy. Him and Jake with the best of friends and had been more or their lives always helping each other when the need arises. Henry was married and Jake just didn't take the time to although sometimes he wished he had done so. He missed the thought of having a wife and surely missed the fact of having a son to show him how to be a rancher. One day Henry was out flying and seen a fence about to fall down in the north part of Jake's ranch, by land it was far enough that Jake had line shack's set up in different parts of his land to stay the night if the need arises to fix problems. Jake gathered his tools after the call from Henry, always throwing some food in a bag just in case. It happened to be in the beginning of winter and of all the times just when a really cool wind was coming down from the north. Clouds was gray and dense looking like snow at any moment and he was sure that where he was going up in the high country it probably would. He drove his old truck, I say old because he never took the time to trade for a newer model cause this one had served him well. Jake didn't have many modern conveniences, didn't believe in spending money when the old way was good enough. The old truck was a 1969 Ford, sorta beat up but it got him to town and around his ranch all these many years was loaded with what he needed, and he set out to get the job done before some of his cattle got out. Sometimes where he had to go was lonely because even his radio wouldn't pick up anything. Jake did have a Cell phone for emergency purposes just in case he had to call his neighbor for assistance. Jake had traveled about a half day's ride when all of a sudden his old truck just give out and stopped. Try as he might the old truck would only try to start but it would not. After sitting there for a minute and looking around he knew the nearest line shack was at least another 3 miles and it was already knowing hard. Jake knew it would not a be a wise decision to try to walk toward that line shack for shelter and it was way to far back to the house so he was stuck. He had always heard his friend Henry talk about going to church and praying to keep in touch with the lord but he would just let it go in one ear and out the other, never thinking he might ever need any help from something you can't see. Jake just never put much importance on the thought of something like this being so critical. It was beginning to sink in that he was in a deadly spot with no heat, no shelter and the wind blowing hard. The temperature was already below zero and with nightfall coming quickly his heart was getting heavy with fear. He tried his old truck one last time before the battery when completely down the softly cursed his old truck and everything about it then thought maybe this is the time to say a prayer, maybe God would help him start his old truck. Snowing hard, it had already got to be a foot or more and it hadn't even got started good yet. Jake tried his cell phone but there was not signal. His friend Henry wasn't to concerned about not hearing from his old friend because he knew Jake had went up into the high country and would be there a day or two. On the third day they found Jake frozen sitting in that old truck. People that knew Jake just said, "It must have been his time" and all of us have one. Jake lived his life as many do going through life thinking they can do all the things they need to survive on their on and when they die their dead, that's it. They just like Jake will meet up with fate one day and it might be to late to offer a prayer because they will not know how to offer a sincere prayer of repentance. There is an old saying that something when a person does not think they need God un til they get into trouble is in trouble because they offer a prayer and they offer it from a stand point of self attitude not sincerity. It has been said that, God might just give your gift of your prayer to another one of his children that talks with him daily and pass you by . because he knows deep in your heart you are not sincere nor are you willing to become one of his children. No one knows whether Jake prayer or not or whether he repented of his life before it was taken....that is a mystery that will never have an answer. This message is saying that God will let you live the life you choose and will not bother you but when you stumble upon trouble sometimes it is to late to change course. Change it now before trouble happens and be ready then God will see you through it. My wish for the new year is for someone or many to find their place with God before it to late in this life. Your choices are yours right now but when that last breath comes it will be his.......Have a Happy New Year and I hope God opens his store house and lets blessings fall like rain for all..............Heavyduty053

Man if this is true........this would be great news. This is one of the things that we are looking for for as an indicator that the RV is following right behind it. let it be.......let it be

Hi everyone . Is there News about the hcl / rv ? Is there An update from adam ? THX everyone and wish All of You a happy New year .

On January 1, 2016, a new Texas law will allow those Texans with concealed carry permits to carry their firearms openly, if they wish. That leaves just California (except in some rural counties, with a permit), Florida, Illinois, New York, and South Carolina with laws prohibiting open carry. Texas to Become 45th State to Allow Open Carry On January 1, 2016

Not true. At 100,000 feet yours eyes create untrustworthy composite images, not real ones......just ask Peace. GO RV, then BV

Just a little bit more...

It'd be about time.....been poking them all day and they won't engage. They just left for shuffleboard hour, so it'll be a bit. GO RV, then BV

I have always been in on 1 to 1, but knowing Iraq they have trouble following through. They may have the tariffs but I am concerned about the collection. Man, I am really hoping that Friday is our day. Let's start the New Year of right.

FR I think the whole middle east sucks ! There ain't no way that they think like Americans. Come on they have been at war since the beginning of time, well come to think of the whole world has, so now you want me to put logic into an equation that does not make sense. FR this is an evangelical experience for me and I really believe the whole world for that fact, why else would believers and non believers drawn into a shiite hole like Iraq. In fact the whole scenario is textbook, one page at a time and we are still watching it unfold, the fact that you and the other Lopsters can not leave it alone is as fascinating to me. I welcome everything that happens because I believe that it has happened for a reason. If you look into your own reason of why you are here at DV it's because you are supposed to be here, to live and learn and watch it all unfold. Think I'm wrong ? Well try and walk away...............................Romans 14;11 / Philippians 2:10 ............Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it, Friend...A happy New Year to you and Family ( and everybody else here on DV)

Love it! As we all know, "next" Friday is THIS Friday! I haven't thanked you in a while, Yota, but, as always, MANY THANKS! Dr J

That'll wake up the nursin' home. GO RV, then BV

I'd had enough of California and left in '83. The military took me to Texas then West Germany. Honorably Discharged, I left for the UK and finally to South Afrika for 4 years. My mom left me the house upon her passing, so I moved back in '92. Annual Earthquakes, rampant gang violence, drive-bys and other assorted murders, Fruits & Nuts coming in from EVERYWHERE to Los Angeles was enough. What an Ant Hill !! I left in '96 - Wouldn't go back for a Bazillion $$$$ Tax Free. The Lunatics are running the Asylum in California.

ty Yota!

Yota Thanks, GM DV, Let's hope they give purchasing power to the people on 1 JAN 2016. Keeping the faith!! GO RV!!

Great news!!

Trump should use this in his campaign. GO RV, then BV

ST Francis? "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life."

Only on the days "skool" was shoving the lie about fascism down everyone's throats. Like the bs about how fascism was born out of socialism, that "right" wingers started eugenics, and they never heard about Hitler or Mussolini. Or, maybe, they were busy running for their lives from the democratic KKK, who was out killing EVERYONE that didn't agree with their racism, communism, or elitism. Perhaps they were just trying to find food, after democrat socialist POTUS Roosevelt #1, and Wilson forced the fed reserve act on America, or, just trying to keep their gold away from democrat Roosevelt #2, and his "new deal" to screw America. Sounds like you shoulda skipped programming classes a few times yourself, maybe you'd be jumping off that fence and making a stand for your country... Got your back, ladies. Is that when you have lost all ability to think? When you have memorized the lies? When you sell your soul to the deception? Is that when a white "teacher" feels so justified when protesting for a minority, that she has no problem ignoring the rights of OTHER minorities? because if it takes brainwashing soo deep that white people are supposed be so ashamed of being white that they need to act like they are not white to be accepted, or that black people feel justified for hating every other race just because they are not black, and anyone who disagrees with that is a racist, or if it's when a black person isn't allowed to be a conservative without suffering ridicule from other blacks for being a turncoat, or when loving your country is racist, making a good living is racist, protecting your family is racist, and anything that isn't absolute worship of fake "political correctness" is racist, than you can take your worthless "education" and shove it. If "being educated" means learning how to label yourself, and then hating everyone that isn't the exact same, if it means having to call yourself "African American, European American, Asian American, or any other noun before American, then you can take your " educated diversity", and shove it. If being aware of the evil that is taught in schools, understanding the oppression of humans throughout America's history when "progressives" of both types are in control makes me "uneducated", I will wear that mantle with pride. I will make a stand, with my American brothers and sisters of all colors, all races, everyone that is grown up enough to understand we are all in this together, e pluribus unum baby, From many, One American.

Well at 100,00 feet we will certainly will be able to see the curvature of the earth. Thanks Umbertino

Just as a side issue: Supposedly this plane will go straight up for 78 miles! According to the "Flat Earth" touters such a flight would is impossible! The "canopy" or "firmament" is only 32 miles. Since the flight depends upon the rotation or spin of the earth, and the earth is flat and does not spin, the flight would come down close to the place it took off. Now that is a conundrum! LOL!!!!!

According to the CBI Bank Law, the CBI is only required to exchange Dinar in Equivalent Units. There is no requirement to exchange in another currency. The CBI loses nothing. .

So true. Amen.

I agree. IVE BEEN IN THIS INVESTMENT FOR OVER 11 YEARS ....BUT I ALWAYS CONSIDER THE WORST OUTCOME...!

Thanks Yota - Hmm in order to apply the custom Tariff taxes don't they have to have international currency?

Heavy....thank you & God bless you! Rope

Hammer to the blunt skull avatar seems appropriate. GO RV, then BV

ok, so after these tarriffs are applied and there is no change in value..This chapter can be closed !!!!! high inflation will result and thus bankrupt iraq......We do see other countries with junk currencies with tarriffs look at vietnam !im sure theres more... Time will tell they cannot hide the truth no longer that one good thing.....GETTING IT OVER WITH ..BE IT FOR THE GOOD OR THE WORST..they sink or they swim...we put those iraq dinars away ..or bring them out to play either way its one way or the other.

Obviously Lopsters are unable to fathom any other equation that does not go along with their way of thinking. I'm certainly able to see all sides but I refuse to let their dire straits attitude have a negative effect on my daily outlook. About two years ago one of my uncles passed and before he did, I walked in his hospital room and I said I'm sorry that you have to be in all of this pain uncle Kenneth " he had leukemia" and uncle Kenneth said it's ok Mark it's a good day to die, I told him that I loved him and he said that he loved me back and Kenneth died in a hell of a lot of pain. His words will forever be in my mind and I hope that I am as strong as him when my time comes. "It's ok, it's a good day to die". Man Up ! Lopsters......I know the situation but none of us knows the outcome yet. I refuse to let the all of the bad overcome all of the good things that I know in life and when this ride is over the chips will fall where ever they may. That's what we got ! But to pretend that you know the final outcome before it's occurrence does not bode well on your behalf. Thanks

***/// We've no complaints about the Canucks. Love 'em ! We DO however dislike the white trash drama dragged in here from poor States, illegal "immigrants", terrorists coming to our flight schools and loud, brash New Yorkers, and yes, ignorant, lippy South Jersey smart asses! ***/// TRUE DAT ! Makes it easier to size up a freak that way. Rather see it comin' and have a fighting chance than get an unforseen surprise !

What could possibly go wrong? GO RV, then BV

bbbbbbut, ... I was just playin too.... well mostly... hadda find a platform to set up my happy 'lil soap box to vent on progressives anyhow.... whatever would DV do without without a bashing of some sort goin on? ... don't answer that.... Rock on, my Brother!

Turkey may finally be 'accepting the inevitable' in Syria A Kurdish militia with ties to an organization waging an insurgency in Turkey's southeast region violated Turkey's "red line" in Syria over the weekend by crossing the Euphrates River during an anti-ISIS operation. The operation to take back Tishrin Dam from ISIS was staged by the Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces and spearheaded by the Kurdish YPG — the military arm of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD). It served as a huge blow to ISIS, which had relied on the dam to move weapons and fighters between its de-facto capital of Raqqa in Syria and the cities of Manbij and Jarablous it controls in the northern countryside of Aleppo Province. But ISIS was not the only loser. The operation was also a major affront to Turkey, which declared the Euphrates a "red line" for Kurdish territorial expansion over the summer. Indeed, Turkey struck the YPG twice in October after it defied Ankara's warning not to cross the river. So far, however, the Turks' response to the weekend incident has been relatively muted. When asked for his reaction to the Tishrin operation, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in a news conference in Serbia that Turkey "would not look positively on Syrian forces hostile to Ankara moving to the west of the Euphrates," according to a translation by Reuters. He added, however, that available information indicated that it was Arab forces, and not Kurds, who had crossed the Euphrates over the weekend. This appears to be a half-truth. A small percentage of the SDF — roughly 4,000 of about 55,000 fighters — is made up of Arab groups operating as part of the SDF alliance under the joint name of the Syrian Arab Coalition. But the vast majority of SDF soldiers are more experienced fighters from the Kurdish YPG. Aykan Erdemir, a nonresident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former member of Turkish Parliament, said he thinks Davutoglu's subdued response to the operation was his way of "accepting the inevitable." REUTERS/Rodi SaidA fighter from the Democratic Forces of Syria takes an overwatch position at the top of Mount Annan. "A harsher response on Davutoglu's part would have been an admission of failure to guard his 'red line,'" Erdemir told Business Insider on Tuesday. "By portraying the event as crossing of the Euphrates River by Arab forces, he is attempting to reframe the embarrassing developments to make them appear less damaging." Davutoglu, along with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, harbor the fear that any movement west of the river might allow the Kurds to link their self-declared cantons, or territories, in northern Syria and create an autonomous Kurdish state along the Turkish border. Indeed, the capture of Tishrin is "a huge first step for the Kurds in clearing out the remaining border strip controlled by IS along the Turkish border," Wladimir van Wilgenburg, a Kurdish affairs expert embedded in Iraqi Kurdistan, told Business Insider on Tuesday, referring to an alternate acronym for ISIS. "The Turks were opposed to this," he added, "and it was my understanding that the US understood Turkish concerns and therefore also opposed YPG advances." But the SDF operation, spearheaded by the Kurds, was reportedly aided by several US airstrikes west of the Euphrates near Manbij. REUTERS/Rodi SaidA Kurdish female fighter from the People's Protection Units (YPG). Merve Tahiroglu, a research associate focusing on Turkey at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Davutoglu's comments "are an example of how Turkey is able to maintain its 'red line' without appearing to completely impede the anti-ISIS coalition’s efforts along its border." Tahiroglu added: One worry in Ankara since the diplomatic crisis with Moscow last month has been Russian support for the [Kurdish] PYD and, in particular, a possible PYD movement toward the west of the Euphrates with Russian encouragement and air support. Turkey has suffered a near-total defeat of its Syria policy since Russia entered the war on the side of the regime in September. Russia's bombing campaign in the north, which escalated in the wake of Turkey's downing of a Russian warplane last month, has set the stage for the Kurds to continue advancing westward toward the strategically important city of Azaz. That goal is even more attainable now that the YPG has crossed the Euphrates — with minimal condemnation from Turkey. Turkey had been using Azaz as a corridor to funnel weapons and aid to the rebels it supports in Aleppo, but Russia's entry into the fray has dramatically limited Ankara's ability to change facts on the ground. That is perhaps one major reason why Davutoglu has tried so hard to reframe the Kurdish victory as an Arab one. "Davutoglu is aware that he has very limited options to unilaterally intervene in the Syrian scene to back his 'red line,' so he is avoiding bold statements he can't back with action," said Erdemir, the former Turkish Parliament member. Still, Tahiroglu said, because the Tishrin operation was supported by the US and not Russia, it was not a complete "nightmare scenario" for Turkey. "But the question now," she added, "is who in the SDF will come to control this liberated land: the Arabs or the Kurds?" http://uk.businessinsider.com/kurds-turkey-euphrates-syria-2015-12

Agreed. Also there is no issue around getting extra USD to back them as issuing new bills does not impact the size of the money supply, just how many notes are in it. The note count, in the country or in your pocket, is a logistical issue, not a financial one.

ah yes....I always knew it
