Young...*
The song was inspired by an event at the dawn of the psychedelic and counterculture eras in November 1966, of the passage of strict (10:00 p.m.) curfew to reduce congestion from crowds of young club patrons.
This was perceived by young and music fans as an infringement on their civil rights, Fliers were distributed inviting people to demonstrate.
Hours before the protest one of L.A.'s rock 'n' roll radio stations announced there would be a rally at Pandora's Box club. The Times reported that as many as 1,000 youthful including Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda, erupted in protest against the curfew.
Though often mistaken for an anti-war song, it was this first of the "Sunset Strip riots" by Buffalo Springfield "For What It’s Worth", recorded on December 5, 1966.

The greatest concentration of Amish is in northeast Ohio, about 78 miles south of Cleveland. Next in size is in northeastern Indiana. Then comes the Amish settlement in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Amish church groups seek to maintain a degree of separation from the non-Amish world, i.e. American and Canadian society. There is generally a heavy emphasis on church and family relationships. They typically operate their own one-room schools and discontinue formal education after grade eight, at age 13/14. Until the children turn 16, they have vocational training under the tutelage of their parents, community, and the school teacher.
Walk...
The stated goal of Gunwalking was to continue to track the firearms as they were transferred to higher-level traffickers and key figures in Mexican cartels, with the expectation that this would lead to their arrests and the dismantling of the cartels.
The tactic was questioned by including ATF field agents and cooperating licensed gun dealers. During this operation, the largest "gunwalking" probe, the ATF monitored the sale of about 2,000 firearms, of which only 710 were recovered as of February 2012[update].
As of October 2011, none of the targeted high-level cartel figures had been arrested.
Guns tracked by the ATF have been found at crime scenes on both sides of the Mexico–United States border, and the scene where United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed December 2010. Dissenting ATF agents came forward to Congress in response. Revelations of "gunwalking" led to controversy in both countries, and diplomatic relations were damaged.

Hillary Clinton offered a powerful message of resistance and hope during her commencement address to Wellesley College graduates, taking the opportunity to skewer President Donald Trump.
She returned to her alma mater 48 years after delivering the college’s first student commencement speech.
Clinton encouraged graduates to continue to “break glass ceilings” and defy sexism in politics.
“Don’t let anyone tell you your voice doesn’t matter,”
Clinton didn’t shy away from comparing Trump to former President Richard Nixon and warning against further polarization. (The House Judiciary Committee had approved articles of impeachment against Nixon, but he actually resigned before the full House could vote on them.)
She also denounced the administration for its aggressive stance toward the media and willingness to embrace conspiracy theories. Clinton also decried the Trump administration’s budget proposal, calling it “an attack of unimaginable cruelty on the most vulnerable among us.”
She should make it clean hopeful message and stay away from the rest. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Toy Gun...
Timothy Loehmann, the Cleveland police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, was fired because investigators found he wasn't truthful about his employment history when he applied for the job, officials said.
The officer who was with Loehmann, Frank Garmback, will be suspended for 10 days because he violated tactical rules relating to how he drove to the scene that day, the city's public safety director and the police chief said.
None of the rule violations announced by Public Safety Director directly related to Loehmann shooting Rice outside a recreation center as the boy held a toy gun on November 22, 2014. The officers were responding to 911 call of someone holding a gun.
An Ohio grand jury declined to criminally charge the officers for the shooting.

Megan...
The final victim of the Manchester bombing attack was identified as 15-year-old Megan Hurley. She was described by a friend as "gentle and unassuming, not an extravert, but she had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh."
Discrmiinate...
Devose wants to create more competition between private and public schools. The ideology is reasonable but it touches the money. Many parties are up in arms with it,

Crossing Lines...
As part of our preparation for a special election, Faith, Keith and I arrived early to set up for the interview, Gianforte came into the room. We exchanged pleasantries and made small talk.
Ben Jacobs of The Guardian walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte's face and began asking if he had a response to ....... the American Health Care Act. Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon.
At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. He began yelling something to the effect of, "I'm sick and tired of this!"

If going out for dinner is a habit. You need to validate your ability to do so. You did well in life, you can afford to eat out frequently. You are hurting the body that help you achieve this success.

| Image is not related. This woman didn't kill the husband as far as I know. |
She got caught in a swindle [$17,000] known as the "Nigerian scam".!!!
She and her husband (a minister) had been arguing about family finances. She admitted some of the problems were "her fault." !!!
She did not remember getting the gun. She heard a loud boom. Matthew Winkler was shot in the back as he lay in bed. !!!
He rolled onto the floor, still alive, asked his wife, "Why?"
When she left home, Matthew Winkler was still alive. The phone had been disconnected from its socket. !!!
She told a jury that her husband often "berated" her and forced her to wear "slutty" costumes for sex. Jurors were shown a pair of tall, platform shoes and a black wig Winkler said she was pressured to wear during sex....!!!
She was sentenced to 210 days in prison for voluntary manslaughter. !!!
Had three girls with him, placed him in debt, lived beyond her means, and ruin her husband's life and reputation, then killed him. Ugly Character. Just a thought.
Structure...*
Workers at a Volkswagen factory in Tennessee have voted against union representation, a devastating loss that derails the United Auto Workers union's effort to organize Southern factories and in reality to the workers themselves.
VW understands how having a union can boost productivity and allow it greater flexibility in adjusting to downturns. It should know: The rest of its plants are unionized.
The idea is to create a "works council," which are widespread across Europe and enjoy tremendous influence over how plants are run.
German works councils helped the company reduce hours across the board rather than laying people off, containing unemployment until the economy recovered.
So while the vote was no, the structure is Yes, a lesson to learn from Europe. Just a thought.
Prices...*
Medicine prices in the United States are the highest in the world. This is why the pharmaceutical industry is the most profitable of all businesses in the U.S. Pharmaceutical companies argue that the prices are necessary to continue to fund research.
Critics {Me included} point out that only a small portion of the drug companies' expenditures are used for R & D, with the majority spent in the areas of marketing and administration.
Pfizer (as patent expires) is planning to buy Astra Zeneca for $119 Billion for a reason. The Brand name medications and R&D is worth that much in US high prices.
U.S. Customs estimates 10 million U.S. citizens bring in medications at land borders each year or online pharmacies. Yet this is not Legal.
The Law must be changed to allow persons or organization to import medicine (Approved in USA) freely from Canada, Britain, etc. So US citizen pay what the Canadian or British pay for the same medicines. That is Free Market Prices.
Just a [Free Market] thought.
Shoes...*
Vincent bought these workman’s boots at a flea market, intending to use them in a still life. Finding them still a little too smart, however, he wore them on a long and rainy walk. Only then were they fit to be painted.
To him they may have been symbolic of the hard yet picturesque life of the laborer and reference to Van Gogh’s difficult passage through life.
In the desert, the shoes cost a lot, wear off badly and quickly. Showing the sole of your shoe to someone in the Arab world is a sign of extreme disrespect. Throwing your shoe is even worse."
In Egypt, a Syrian throw his shoe at Ahmadinejad, after an affectionate welcome from Egypt's Islamist president. Earlier, an Iraqi journalist throw his shoes at George Bush.
What a painting. Just an [expressionist's] thought.
the Support...*
John Booker Jr. struck others as strange or even troubled but also as a young man not shy about discussing his faith or debating Islamic philosophy at the mosque.
But the 20-year-old Topeka resident told a confidante informant that he wasn't liked at his mosque because he expressed support for the terrorist group al-Qaida. The cleric said the FBI brought Booker to the mosque and sought counseling to turn him from views behind Facebook postings about plans to die in a jihad.
He was arrested trying to arm a 1,000-pound bomb outside Fort Riley.
Prosecutor charged Alexander Blair, 28, with failing to report Booker's plans to authorities. He loaned Booker money to rent space to build and store a bomb.
Remove the support. Just a thought. [Posted 4/11/2014]

Job Interview...
The BBC referred to the meeting as a Job Interview..... The pope didn't use the words" Your Fired"
The Family...
Libyan authorities had been following Hashem Abedi, the Manchester suspect’s brother, for a month and a half because of suspected links to ISIS, said Ahmed Dagdoug, Libya’s counterterror forces.
The two brothers were close, and Salman placed a call to Hashem, as well as their mother, 30 minutes before carrying out the attack.
On Tuesday, that brother was detained in Libya. During interrogation, he revealed that he knew his brother was going to carry out an attack, but he did not know where or when.
Salman Abedi's father [A refugee from Libya] was also arrested in Libya.
Dagdoug told ABC News that the two brothers do consider themselves members of ISIS and said that they had been studying ISIS videos online, including instructional videos that teach the viewer how to make a bomb.
The Libyan Asylum man and his family are safe in Manchester, Englandand now start plotting against the British people who let them in. His son killed and injured many...Go Figure...
Sara...
If you watch 2.32 Minutes of this video, you would get a summery of the tone of this visit. The President, the Power couple , and don't miss Sara Netanyahu's expression to Ivanka and Jarred as they walk to the plane.
Together...
A year later, the House of Saud is preparing to host President Donald Trump. The Saudi daily Okaz published a graphic of every U.S. president's first foreign journey going back to Teddy Roosevelt. (Most modern presidents have visited Canada or Mexico on their first overseas trip.) The paper also ran a triumphant front-page headline, “Saudi First,” that listed 10 reasons why Trump chose the kingdom as his first foreign destination.
In the lead-up to Trump’s two-day visit, they’ve organized a grand reception for a leader who savors ostentatious displays of wealth and power. The streets of Riyadh are filled with Saudi and American flags, and billboards featuring Trump and Saudi King Salman with the slogan “Together we prevail.”
The local press is packed with effusive coverage. An official Saudi website for Trump’s visit features an online clock counting down the hours and minutes to the big day, under the slogan “Historic summit. Brighter future.” The Saudis are also promoting branded hashtags, in English and Arabic, for #RiyadhSummit.
Reminding me with the story of the prodigal son..... Just a thought.
Tears...
Police have confirmed that at least 22 people were killed in the explosion at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena. Some of them were children.
Theresa May, the prime minister, declared that the threat level has been raised from severe to critical, meaning authorities believe a further attack is imminent
Police named the suspect as Salman Ramadan Abedi, 22, who's father was a Libyan refugee. The suspect's brother was arreested. Three men have been arrested.
It is time to Open Your Eyes on the Refugee and Asylum seekers theory.
Guilt...*
Russell, 43, and Williams, 30, led Cleveland Police on a 23-minute high-speed chase on November 29, 2012.
It started when an officer thought heard a gunshot come from Russell’s Chevy Malibu.
Officers heard radio reports placed as an officer being fired upon. 62 patrol cars were involved in the chase. It ended badly.
13 Cleveland police officers fired a total of 137 bullets. Officer Brelo fired 49 of the shots. Russell was shot 23 times, and Williams was shot 24 times. They both were unarmed.
What kind of training these officers had? What kind of radio communication announced?
No problem with the police budget in this town. Plenty of Bullets, Cars, Salaries, Training, Investigation and now Legal cost. Two people are dead for no apparent reason, many officers will live with guilt for the rest of their lives and a devastated society.
Just a nightmare thought.

Sandwich...
Manchester...
The man who bombed children and fans leaving an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena has been named as 22-year-old Salman Abedi.........
Local reports said the bomber was the child of Libyan refugee who moved to the UK to flee Muammar Gaddafi's regime, and was one of four children.
He was said to have been known to police and the intelligence services.
How many times we have to hear the word refugee or a son of ..... associated with terrorism?
