Rappel du premier message :

4. Raising the minimum wage helps the poor. The president wants to increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10 from $7.25, with the tagline “Let’s give America a raise.” The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the hike would cost 500,000 jobs, one blow to the low-wage earners it claims to help. Employment aside, only 18% of the earnings benefits of a $10.10 hike would flow to people living below the poverty line, according to analysis from University of California-Irvine economist David Neumark. Nearly 30% of the benefits would go to families three times above the poverty line or higher, in part because half of America’s poor families have no wage earners. Minimum-wage increases help some poor families—at the expense of other poor families.

You won’t hear that from Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who in September lived on $79 for a week to show his public-relations solidarity with minimum-wage earners. Keep in mind: Only 4.7% of minimum-wage earners are adults working full-timetrying to support a family, and nearly all would be eligible for the earned-income tax credit and other welfare programs.

5. Global warming is causing increasingly violent weather. Tell that to Floridians, who are enjoying the ninth consecutive season without a hurricane landfall. The Atlantic hurricane season in 2013 was the least active in 30 years. Oh, and global temperatures have not increased for 15 years.

Still, something must be done! On Monday, the Hill reported that an internal memo circulating among five environmental groups detailed plans for spending to support candidates “who want to act” to combat climate change. “We are on track to spend more than $85 million overall including more than $40 million in just six Senate races,” the memo said. The beneficiaries include Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.), who got $12.1 million, and Rep. Bruce Braley (D., Iowa) with $7.2 million.

6. Genetically modified food is dangerous. Farmers have been breeding crop seeds for 10,000 years, but the agricultural innovation known as genetic modification makes liberals shudder. Not a single documented illness has resulted from the trillions of meals containing “genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs, that humans have consumed since the mid-1990s. The technology has been declared safe by every regulatory agency from the Food and Drug Administration to the European Commission.

But insisting on labeling food containing GMOs has turned into a liberal cause. The California Democratic Party platform in 2012 added a demand for GMO labeling; more recently the Oregon Democratic Party climbed aboard. In May 2013, self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont introduced a farm-bill amendment that would allow states to require GMO labeling for food; co-sponsors of the amendment, which failed, included Sens. Mark Begich (D., Ala.) and Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.).

7. Voter ID laws suppress minority turnout. More than 30 states have voter-ID laws, which the left decries as an attempt to disenfranchise minorities who don’t have identification and can’t pay for it. Yet of the 17 states with the strictest requirements, 16 offer free IDs. The Government Accountability Office this month released an analysis of 10 voter-ID studies: Five showed the laws had no statistically significant effect on turnout, four suggested a decrease in turnout (generally among all ethnic groups, though percentages varied), and one found an increase in turnout with voter ID laws in place.

The Democratic Senate candidate in Kentucky, Alison Lundergan Grimes, has nonetheless been running radio ads in urban areas claiming that “Mitch McConnell and the Republicans are trying to take away our right to vote,” based on a 2007 voter-ID amendment the minority leader introduced.

C'est pas en anglais mais ça concerne les États-Unis

Se branler pour éradiquer la faim dans le monde




Je connais une escorte qui donne tous les mois une somme d'argent à la SPCA, de l'argent recueilli en faisant des acrobaties au lit. Je connais aussi maintenant un site web américain qui propose à ses utilisateurs de jouir pour les bienfaits de la charité.

DES DONS AVANT DE REGARDER DES FEMMES NUES

Le site web Hump the bundle offre des photos et des vidéos en provenance de sites pornographiques indépendants et de qualité (pas d'image floue, pas de gros doigts devant la caméra, pas de Boogie Woogie comme trame sonore).

Contrairement à plein de sites, leur contenu n'est pas gratuit: chaque utilisateur peut donner le montant qu'il veut, avant de visionner la vidéo d'une femme nue qui se fait masser par un massothérapeute très entreprenant. Le client choisit aussi quelle fraction du montant donné va aux fournisseurs de contenu excitant et quelle autre fraction va à des œuvres de bienfaisance.

LA PORNO FERAIT PEUR AUX DONATEURS RICHES ET RELIGIEUX

En un peu plus de deux mois, Hump the bundle a réussi à amasser environ 15 000 $ en dons. Le problème? Plein d'organismes de charité refusent leurs dons. Seulement trois ont accepté: Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, qui promeut des idées positives sur le sexe grâce à l'art et au militantisme, Able Gamers, qui développe des jeux vidéos pour les personnes avec des handicaps, et Angels Giving Tree, qui remet des cadeaux de Noël aux enfants de milieux défavorisés.

Les autres organismes de bienfaisance répondent à Humpy Leftnut, le créateur de Hump the bundle, qu'ils ne jugent pas nécessairement son site web. Soucieux, ils refusent tout de même les dons issus du site, indiquant qu'ils ne veulent pas risquer de créer la controverse et de perdre des donateurs qui ne voudraient pas s'associer à un organisme qui accepte des dons en provenance du monde incompris de la porno.

LA PORNO ALTRUISTE VERSUS UN FABRICANT D'ARMES?

C'est dommage et incroyablement triste que la perception des gens sur l'industrie du travail du sexe empêche d'aider à trouver des remèdes contre le cancer du sein, ou d'offrir des voyages à Disney World à des enfants malades. En refusant des dons, l'image négative de la pornographie est perpétuée. La porno ne se résume pas qu'à des clips dégradants et à des ongles trop longs. Elle peut aussi avoir des effets positifs, comme un orgasme de deux minutes ou la paix sur tous les continents, un don de sperme et d'argent à la fois.

Impossible aussi que tous ceux qui donnent soient irréprochables. Un fabricant d'armes ou Walmart peuvent émettre des dons chaque année, mais pas un site web qui souhaite un meilleur monde pour tous, branleurs ou non?

Au Québec, je ne sais pas si les organismes se montreraient aussi réticents qu'aux États-Unis. J'ai demandé à une dizaine d'organismes leur position sur la question. Pour l'instant, seule la Fondation de l'Accueil Bonneau m'a répondu: «Nous ne connaissons pas toujours la provenance des dons que nous recevons. Nous respectons les donateurs dans leurs choix de vie.»

Si j'avais donné chaque fois que... les pauvres seraient obèses

...Ach mein Gott ;

Do bist ein echt Achloch Zed

Tant que tu es aux réparations des dégâts de l'âge de ta tête, n'oublie en dedans...

Comme quoi, une fois de plus, dès qu'on prend ses idéologies pour des vérités scientifiques irréfutables, alors que le propre de la science est d'être réfutée, ont a pondu une nouvelle religion.
C'est d'ailleurs ce que écolos, devenus alarmistes, font, au grand bonheur des gouvernements qui en tirent profit financier et de conversion des hommes en moutons...

Heureusement qu'il y par-ci, par-là, des gens compétents et crédibles, qui réussissent à se faire entendre malgré les médias !

_________________________________________

ATTORNEY:  Do you recall the time that you examined the body?

ATTORNEY:  I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS:     Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Nouveau candidat republicain a annonce sa candidature aux elections de novembre 2016.

Sen. Rand Paul announces he is 'running for president'

Published April 07, 2015
FoxNews.com
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday morning announced his 2016 presidential bid using his website, preempting his official campaign kick-off set for noon. 
"I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government,” Paul said on RandPaul.com.


The 52-year-old Republican senator is scheduled to personally announce his bid this afternoon at a "Stand with Rand" rally in Louisville, Ky. In doing so, he brings his libertarian-leaning brand of conservatism to what is likely to be a crowded primary field.

A Tea Party favorite and frequent antagonist of leaders of his Republican Party, Paul is expected to head out after the rally to early nominating states with a pitch aimed at the libertarian corners of the GOP. He would be the second announced candidate, following closely behind Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, but he could face as many as 20 rivals for the nomination before the lead-off Iowa caucuses early next year.

Bonjour Sylvette !

Je me trompe probablement, mais est-ce que ce tant décrié et moqué Tea Party, du moins dans notre vieille Europe, aurait le vent en poupe chez vous ?

Scotty a bien changé !

Je ne sais pas si c'est vraiment le Tea Party qui a le vent en poupe, Biloulou, ou si c'est l'Administration Obama qui effraie, affole, horrifie, terrifie, menace, ou pour le moins decoit tout Americain avec le minimum de bon sens.

Je voterai pour n'importe lequel des deux candidats deja connus, mais j'ai un faible pour Marco Rubio (il n'a pas encore annonce sa candidature) J'aime bien aussi Ben Carson.

Ce qui est terrible, c'est que nous n'allons pas forcement voter pour la personne que nous considerons etre la meilleure pour le job mais pour celle qui a le plus de chance contre la machine Hillary.

Merci Lawrence, sympa

BREAKING: Obama deportation amnesty to remain halted; judge says lawyers lied to him



BREAKING FROM THE WASHINGTON TIMES:

Obama deportation amnesty to remain halted; judge says lawyers lied to him

President Obama’s new deportation amnesty will remain halted, a federal judge in Texas ruled Tuesday night in an order that also delivered a judicial spanking to the president’s lawyers for misleading the court.
Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who first halted the amnesty in February, just two days before it was to take effect, said he’s even more convinced of his decision now, particularly after Mr. Obama earlier this year said he intends for his policies to supersede federal laws.
Judge Hanen pointed to Mr. Obama’s comments at a February town hall when the president warned immigration agents to adhere to his policies or else face “consequences.” 

Guilty verdicts reached for 11 of 12 in APS cheating trial

ATLANTA —
Several former educators have been taken to the Fulton County Jail after a jury reached guilty verdicts in the Atlanta Public Schools cheating trial.
 
The jury convicted 11 of 12 defendants of racketeering. Jurors acquitted only one defendant, Dessa Curb, of all charges.
 
Channel 2’s Carl Willis spoke with defense attorney Gerald Griggs moments after he visited his client Angela Williamson at Fulton County Jail Wednesday evening.
 
"The battle is not quite over yet," Griggs said. "The jury has spoken but the sentence has not been pronounced. There’s still an opportunity for the judge to sentence her probation and then we fight it on appeals," Griggs said.

2016 White House bid, asks to be 'champion' of America's middle class

Published April 12, 2015
FoxNews.com

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday officially announced her 2016 presidential campaign, ending months of speculation over her political plans and immediately elevating her as a target for the field of Republican contenders. 
Clinton made the announcement in a YouTube video in which she says: “Everybody needs a champion. And I want to be that champion.”

The roughly two-minute video begins by showing a cross-section of Americans working to get ahead before Clinton says: “I’m doing something, too. I’m running for president.”
The 2016 White House winner will assuredly need to appeal to middle-class Americans and win their votes. And Clinton wasted little time making her pitch. “Americans have fought back from tough economic times,” she says in the video. “But the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.”

Ca Marieden, c'est presque certain qu'on aura droit a la fille... d'autant qu'il restera sans doute un peu d'argent sur les 2 milliards de dollars que sa maman a dans ses coffres pour la campagne 2016 et surtout si les donateurs de la foundation Clinton (Arabie Saoudite, Oman, Qatar,emirats arabes unis*) ont encore leur mot a dire.
