And for those who don't know about this incident here is an article describing it: (Yep McLame caused the Forrestal fire!) McCAIN THE HERO NEARLY SUNK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER & KILLED 134 SAILORS Via Lew Rockwell McCain, when a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy was a Navy pilot (they call themselves aviators). July 29, 1967 while on the deck and in his plane on the carrier U.S.S. Forrestal he managed to screw up procedures (officially denied and covered up by him and the Navy and also even promoted on Wikipedia if you care to look–reason to follow). He did a smart ass punk attention getting trick by doing a “wet start” up of his jet. When a pilot wants to be a wise ass or show off, this type of engine start creates a large startling flame and lots of surprise noise from the rear of a jet engine on start up–this was no accident. This and the large subsequent electrical surge and apparent (incorrect and against policy) weapon arming (by the pilot) caused the launching of a powerful Zuni rocket across the carrier’s deck hitting other parked planes (photo below) that were packing 1,000 high-explosive pound bombs. The subsequent massive explosions, fire and destruction went several decks below and nearly sunk this major 82,000 ton U.S. aircraft carrier. This stunt and aftermath caused the death of 134 sailors and seriously injure (blow off arms legs, cause blindness and burns to another 161 sailors) and took the ship off the battle line for extensive repairs. Any other Navy pilot causing this type of death and destruction the Navy would have raped him and he would probably still be in the brig. Why not McCain? Well, first with many powerful connections this “little infraction” was covered up by the Navy (our most politically involved/connected service by the way). You see his grandfather was a famous FOUR STAR Navy admiral and his dad was at the time of the incident was a powerful Navy FOUR STAR admiral and McCain graduated from the Navy Academy. So the old boy Navy tradition cover his ass network went into high gear immediately; and make no mistake, it does exist and it did for him.

If you think that is fun, here is the same ship on July 29, 1967 (this incident changed the Navy forever. I saw this video in boot camp and will never forget it.)

Loesch (pronounced Lash) is both on television and radio. She has her own radio show for awhile now. Before Trump was elected Loesch signed on with Blaze TV a Glen Beck outlet. The Blaze was formed after Beck was fired from FOX NEWS. She signed on with the Never Trumpers and put her John Hancock along with the other RINOs including Beck. She found out it took her nowhere. FOX NEWS only gives her airplay because 1) she is a syndicated radio show host 2) she fights for second amendment rights as a woman and 3) they don't have her as a host because she won't change her hair color and her temperament as evidenced by her radio show is to whiney that and she signed on with a Loon.

So you go to bed before 10PM thanks for letting us know Shabs.

Loesch may have the body of an angel but she sided with Loony Toon Beck.Her mind is in question. She also orchestrated a coup d'etat over Rush Limbaugh. She would eat her own children if it meant being on the radio and television. She espouses all the right principles but she will eat her own to espouse them. She is no more than a RINO in the making by selling her soul to the Company Store.. Besides I can't stand her when she goes ape-crap batty and starts yelling and the pitch of her voice goes into the upper stratosphere. My dog starts howling and the birds take flight. I swear somewhere wine glasses are breaking. I would rather listen to her scrape her nails down a chalkboard than to listen to her nagging high pitched voice.

Italy could soon become the first Western country to offer paid “menstrual leave” to female workers. The proposed law is currently being debated in the country’s parliament. If passed, it would mandate that companies enforce a “menstrual leave” policy and offer three paid days off each month to working women who experience painful periods. Health experts and local media outlets have praised the proposal, saying it was a step in the right direction and would shed light on the silent plight of women suffering from debilitating cramps that can sometimes affect their ability to work. The Italian version of Marie Claire described it as “a standard-bearer of progress and social sustainability.” But the bill also has critics, including women who fear this sort of measure could backfire and end up stigmatizing them. Writing in Donna Moderna, another women’s magazine, Lorenza Pleuteri argued that if women were granted extra paid leave, employers would be even more reluctant to hire women, in a country where women already struggle to integrate the workforce. In fact, due to enduring cultural stereotypes, Italy has one of the lowest rates of female labor participation in the workforce , with a staggering one in four women getting fired just before or after getting pregnant, according to the Italian National Institute for Statistics. Miriam Goi, a feminist writer, made a similar point in Vice Italy. She fears that rather than breaking taboos about women’s menstrual cycle, the measure could end up perpetuating the idea that women are more emotional than men and require special treatment. The bill was presented to the lower house of Italy’ Parliament on March 13th and could become law in a matter of weeks. Menstrual leave is already a legal right for women in other countries, including South Korea and Japan, where it was made law 60 years ago. A number of private companies, including Nike, have also introduced a similar policy. - NOTE: Didn't I read somewhere men also menstruate? If so, Italy needs to include men on this as well! Since is proven scientific fact that men go through menstruation as well! Sign me up, baby!

And ratings is what makes the money. Any news director or television station not concerned with ratings is nothing but a government subsidized radio and television station. Ratings are what sets the price for spots and spots are the money makers for a television station. News is one of the biggest draws to advertisers because more people watch news than they do any other programming. In radio, again ratings matter combined with TSL. Hannity is good for Fox News Television and Radio because he has the highest ratings which draws in the advertisers. The advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for their spot to be aired during the Hannity shows. At least Hannity has never pulled a raving mad cow Maddow stunt to get ratings. That should have cost her job. Even Shaky "I'm Gonna Wet MY Pants" Matthews has never pulled a stunt like Raving Mad Cow Maddow in the name of news.

Hannity had a show with a gentleman who recently passed away and was a shrill for the left. That is how he got his start with Fox so many years ago. After Colmes demanded to be rid of Hannity did Hannity get his own show. In all actuality if Colmes did not make the demands he did, Hannity would have never been a solo anchor on Fox News. Second, Hannity is not a journalist as he does bring news, albeit, through his opinion, which is not journalism. Hannity will tell you he is not a journalist because he interjects his opinion. Too many people conflate an individual's opinion with the way journalism is suppose to be. It's not and any journalist who says they have the First Amendment right to interject their opinion into their writing cannot be considered a journalist. A journalist is objective and should stand outside of the story. A journalist interjecting biases, such as disparaging adverbs and adjectives, into their piece, the piece becomes an opinion piece not a news story. Many many so-called reporters do this under the auspices of the First Amendment and this is why there is fake news because its not news, it is opinion of the reporter to sway the masses in the direction the reporter/anchor leans. Until news goes back to being objective rather than subjective it will continue to be fake news as opinions are not news. (Disclosure: I used to help write for the six o'clock and saturday news shows. I also edited video packages for the news. I quit after the OKC bombing.) Koppel was once an objective reporter and anchor but as time went on like rather he allowed his personal bias to enter into his stories. I no longer consider him a viable reporter or anchor.

However they could gift it to all of Iraq on June 25, 2017

They better do something before May 26, 2017 or we are going to be waiting until after the 2018 budget is passed.

Iraq suspends Mosul offensive after coalition airstrike atrocity Move comes as international outrage grows over airstrikes that killed at least 150 people in Mosul Jadida neighbourhood Resident of Mosul Jadida retrieve bodies from the rubble following the coalition airstrikes. Photograph: Felipe Dana/AP View more sharing options Shares 6,567 Martin Chulov in Mosul, and Emma Graham-Harrison Saturday 25 March 2017 18.31 EDTFirst published on Saturday 25 March 2017 12.13 EDT Iraqi military leaders have halted their push to recapture west Mosul from Islamic State as international outrage grew over the civilian toll from airstrikes that killed at least 150 people in a single district of the city. The attack on the Mosul Jadida neighbourhood is thought to have been one of the deadliest bombing raids for civilians since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Rescuers were still pulling bodies from the rubble on Saturday, more than a week after the bombs landed, when the US-led coalition confirmed that its aircraft had targeted Isis fighters in the area They carried out the attack on 17 March “at the request of the Iraqi security forces”, and have now launched a formal investigation into reports of civilian casualties, the coalition said. Analysis The west condemned Russia’s bombs – now coalition attacks are killing civilians in Mosul The leaders who denounced Putin for deadly airstrikes in Syria are not speaking out over the siege of the Iraqi city Read more British planes were among those operating in western Mosul at the time. Asked if they could have been involved in the airstrikes, a spokesman did not rule out the possibility of British involvement, saying: “We are aware of reports [of civilian casualties] and will support the coalition investigation.” There had been no reports of a UK role in any civilian casualties in more than two years of fighting Isis, he added. “We have not seen evidence that we have been responsible for civilian casualties so far. Through our rigorous targeting processes we will continue to seek to minimise the risk of civilian casualties, but that risk can never be removed entirely.” A UK report on the 17 March fighting, which was issued just a couple of days later, described “very challenging conditions with heavy cloud”. Tornado jets were sent to “support Iraqi troops advancing inside western Mosul” in intense urban fighting, where crews had to “engage targets perilously close to the Iraqi troops whom they were assisting”. They used Paveway guided missiles to hit five targets. The coalition said in a separate statement it had carried out four airstrikes aimed at “three Isis tactical units”. They destroyed more than 50 vehicles and 25 “fighting positions”. The deaths have intensified concerns over up to 400,000 Mosul residents who are still packed into the crowded western half of the city, as Iraqi security forces backed by foreign air power advance on Isis’s last major stronghold in the country. FacebookTwitterPinterest An Iraqi rescue team searches for bodies in the rubble. Photograph: Cengiz Yar Civil defence workers say they have pulled more than 140 bodies from the ruins of three buildings in Mosul Jadida and believe that dozens more remain under the rubble of one building, a large home with a once cavernous basement, in which up to 100 people had hidden last Friday morning. Advertisement Local people at the site told the Observer that the enormous damage inflicted on the homes and much of the surrounding area had been caused by airstrikes, which battered the neighbourhood in the middle of a pitched battle with Isis members, who were under attack from Iraqi forces. The UN’s humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, Lise Grande, said: “We are stunned by this terrible loss of life.” Chris Woods, director of monitoring group Airwars, said: “The Jadida incident alone is the worst toll of a single [airstrike] incident that I can recall in decades. The coalition’s argument that it doesn’t target noncombatants risks being devalued when so many civilians are being killed in west Mosul.” He warned that the deaths, and other recent attacks in Syria that have claimed dozens of lives, risked turning public sentiment against the coalition. “We have until recently always credited the coalition for taking care to avoid civilian casualties, compared with the Russians. But since the last months of 2016 you have seen this steep climb in ­civilian casualties and public sentiment has turned very sharply against the US-led coalition.” As the scale of the disaster became apparent, Iraqi military sources confirmed that they had been ordered not to launch new operations. The Australian defence force issued a statement on Sunday in response to questions about its involvement. “While there are no specific allegations against Australian aircraft, Australia will fully support the coalition-led (Operation Inherent Resolve) investigation into these allegations.” Mosul Jadida residents said three homes had taken direct hits from airstrikes and others had been damaged by debris and shelling. “They started in the morning and they continued till around 2pm,” said Mustafa Yeheya. “There were Isis on the roof of several of the buildings and they were in the streets fighting. But the strange thing is that the house they were hiding in, their military room, was not even hit. None of their bases was.” Mosul's children were shouting beneath the rubble. Nobody came Read more Journalists were banned from entering west Mosul on Saturday and Iraqi commanders could not be contacted. Iraqi and US forces have previously said that Isis deliberately blended among the civilian population and, in some cases, fighters were posted near civilian targets in a bid to increase casualties and slow the offensive against them. A United States Central Command statement said: “Our goal has always been for zero civilian casualties, but the coalition will not abandon our commitment to our Iraqi partners because of Isis’s inhuman tactics terrorising civilians, using human shields and fighting from protected sites such as schools, hospitals, religious sites and civilian neighbourhoods.” Muawiya Ismael, who said he had lost six members of his clan in the attack, said: “It is true that this was a battle zone and that Isis were here. They had about 15 people in the area, and they were in high positions. But they did not have heavy guns. Nothing that should justify an attack of this scale. It was not in proportion to the threat and soldiers could have fixed this.” Topics Mosul The Observer Iraq US military Middle East and North Africa Islamic State news

A 100K note after implementation of the zero project - the removal of zeroes from the currency - matches up with a 100 USD note. This is not lopster talk this is a project that they have been kicking down the road for awhile. The 100k lines up with the 100, the 50K lines up with the 50, the 10K lines up with the 10 and the 25K should line up with the 20 after the project. Whether they RV at the same time is anyone's guess.

The 100K note makes sense but not the 150K note. The reason for this is when they do implement the removal of the zeroes project, all of the notes thus far correspond to other countries' and their currency, save the 25K note. One other thing here is that we do not want to see them to have notes larger than the 100K note. Why? Because then the value of their currency will be far less than anyone previously thought. I would not like to harken to the days where wheelbarrows are used to transport the amount needed for a loaf of bread. Nor would I like to harken to the days where a million note is placed into circulation to circumnavigate the wheelbarrow transport of currency.

Legal Definition: sovereignty (redirected from Sovereign nation)Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Sovereignty The supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power by which an independent state is governed and from which all specificpolitical powers are derived; the intentional independence of a state, combined with the right and power of regulating itsinternal affairs without foreign interference. Sovereignty is the power of a state to do everything necessary to govern itself, such as making, executing, and applyinglaws; imposing and collecting taxes; making war and peace; and forming treaties or engaging in commerce with foreign nations. The individual states of the United States do not possess the powers of external sovereignty, such as the right to deportundesirable persons, but each does have certain attributes of internal sovereignty, such as the power to regulate theacquisition and transfer of property within its borders. The sovereignty of a state is determined with reference to the U.S.Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. West's Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2.

Possible limitations are: (i) the ACTS OF UNION; (ii) the inability of Parliament to bind its successors; (iii) territorial competence, being a practical limitation rather than a legal one. By far the most significant restraint is found in the law of the EUROPEAN UNION, which asserts its supremacy in the ever-expanding matters subject to the Treaties.
