The News You Won't Easily Find for Apri 30, 2018

A Lot of Good News the Lame Street Media Won't Tell You About


If it has to do with President Trump. the major networks and news outlets are going to bury anything positive for him. One has to dig through a lot of sites to find them. Here's what this article refers to:

  • North and South Korea on Friday announced that they would work to achieve a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.
  • Mike Pompeo was confirmed as Secretary of State.
  • First quarter GDP was 2.3 percent versus 0.7 percent this time last year
  • Jobless claims are at the lowest level since 1969.
  • Legislation is being developed to minimize fraud, abuse and misuse of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program / Food Stamps).
  • The Dow Jones Industrial Averages closed above 24,000 last Friday, up 15.9 percent versus a year ago.


President Trump Stops Rally to Call for Doctor to Help Member of Audience


Hour after hour of clips of that sleazy not-so-funny comedienne at the WH Press Corps Dinner and not one word anywhere about another instance of the president caring about those who come out to attend his rallys.

The president had been in the middle of talking about Immigration and Customs Enforcement dealing with gangs when it became clear that a member of the audience was distressed.

The president abruptly stopped. “A doctor please? Doctor. A doctor please.”

Thank you, sir!” someone could be heard yelling off to the left of the stage.

Take your time, take your time though,” Trump said. He then walked to the side of the podium, apparently to make sure that the rally attendee was getting treatment.



Feds Try To Force Church Cafeteria To Pay Volunteers As Employees

The headlines should read; "Obama's Feds ..." It was his Department of Labor that came up with this travesty against the Grace Cathedral church near Akron, Ohio.

Beginning in 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor investigated and then sued it on the grounds that for an enterprise, church or otherwise, to use volunteer unpaid labor in a commercial setting violated the minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938. A trial court agreed with the Department and found liability, but now, in Acosta v. Cathedral Buffet et al., the Sixth Circuit has reversed the ruling and sent the case back for further proceedings, noting that “to be considered an employee within the meaning of the FLSA, a worker must first expect to receive compensation.”

And the article states that the Trump administration didn't reverse this because the new solicitor wasn't approved until after the case had been argued.



Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman: Palestinians Need To Negotiate Or 'Shut Up And Stop Complaining'

Nowhere in this guys bio does it indicate any connection with the USA. No military background. So, where does his anti-Iran/Palestine mindset come from? He's certainly far different from previous Saudi rulers.

According to Barak Ravid of Israel’s Channel 10 News and Axios, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman shocked Jewish attendees during a meeting in New York in March, saying:
In the last several decades the Palestinian leadership has missed one opportunity after the other and rejected all the peace proposals it was given. It is about time the Palestinians take the proposals and agree to come to the negotiations table or shut up and stop complaining.
Bin Salman also slammed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, reports Ravid, citing inside sources.



UK Now Has a Muzzie Home Secretary

Britain's former communities secretary, Sajid Javid, was named as new UK interior minister on Monday. There's no USA equivalent but here are his duties:

The Home Secretary is responsible for the internal affairs of England and Wales, and for immigration and citizenship for the United Kingdom. The remit of the Home Office also includes policing in England and Wales and matters of national security, as the Security Service (MI5) is directly accountable to the Home Secretary.

In other words, the UK is daily become closer to being a Muslim Caliphate and there appears to be not turning back.



Canada Whining Because "Too Many Nigerians" are Crossing From the USA


Oh golly whiz. They opened the doors and are now finding that it is costing them more than they want to deal with. My own feeling is that we should take all those "refugees" at our southern border and send them into Canada.

Margaret Wente at the Globe and Mail cuts through the political correctness and identifies what’s going on with the Canadian government right now. The reality is that the flood of illegal aliens being welcomed into their country is straining resources, particularly in Quebec. The only solution offered thus far is to shuffle more of them off to Ontario, but they say they’ve already got too much on their plate.



Fukushima Today


A series of haunting photos that I sadly am unable to copy and past here. Check them out @ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5673475/Abandoned-Fukushima-Images-town-amid-row-tainted-soil.html


Roman Roads and Modern Civilization


It's hard to believe that structures built 2,000 years ago play a big role in today's world.


During my time in Europe, I loved to visit sites where I could see Roman Ruins and things still standing and being used. Baths still being enjoyed today. One doesn't have to be a history buff to enjoy them.



German police union chief admits there are several “no-go areas”

where police only go in large teams

At least the Germans are admitting that they have Muslim enclaves where police are afraid to go in less than "large teams." When will the other European nations confess that they too are plagued with foreign invasions?

Michael Mertens, who was elected on Tuesday as police union chief of NRW, was interviewed by local newspaper Rheinische post. When asked if no-go areas exist in Germany’s most populous state he says:

There are areas where cops do not go alone, but only in larger teams. Such areas now exist in almost all NRW cities. Here we have to show a clear presence and make it clear that everyone who lives in this country has to obey the law.”

Mertens adds that the state’s zero-tolerance strategy “has to develop and this will take years. But the direction is right. Also, because it gives the police more respect.”




Trump Suggesting to Meet Kim at the DMZ


Makes a whole lot of sense.

President Donald Trump seemed to hint on Monday that he would like to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the Korean demilitarized zone.
North Korea may not have a plane capable of taking Kim far overseas, which could potentially embarrass the country.
If the meeting happens in Korea, Kim's potential embarrassment has been averted.

I wonder if it was Bolton who came up with the idea.



International Code Council Looks to Veterans to Fill Massive Labor Shortfall


Another organization seeking the skills and discipline of veterans and their families to fill many upcoming vacancies as plans examiners, inspectors, and administrators.

Why consider a career in building safety?

High salaries. According to a 2014 study, the median salary for code officials is between $50,000 and $75,000 per year.
Protect and serve.
Innate skills.
Certifications transfer with you.
Low or no cost training.
Quick and accessible.



Strong, disaster resilient, eco-friendly homes that are also efficient to build.


The system seems to make a whole lot of sense. I just wonder how construction companies and workers think of it.

NUDURA ICFs can endure winds of up to 402 kph (250 mph) and the non-toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam provides a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours. Designed to not only protect against the elements, these forms provide environmental benefits through waste reduction and energy conservation.

ICFs provide significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of the building. When you combine two panels of 2 5/8” EPS foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete, a NUDURA ICF home can provide up to 60 percent savings in energy costs,” says Mr. Rector.



Stem Cell Therapy Lets The Golden Bear Play Golf Again


I can see a whole lot of people wanting to try this therapy. I sure know I would love to. To be able to stand for any length of time without back pain would be a miracle.

The experts behind the treatment, which costs just £30, are confident the rapid procedure will be widely available within the next five years.

It works by taking 100ml to 200 ml of fat tissue from the patient’s abdomen, and spinning it in a centrifuge with a special enzyme mixture made from a substance produced by e.coli, which separates the stem cells.
