Unpaid...

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a newly elected US House representative, called out her future colleagues in Congress, including Democrats, for paying their low-level staffers salaries below the "living wage" and for employing unpaid interns, even as members of Congress are paid multiple times more than the average American.

The incoming New York Democrat, who took service industry jobs to support herself and her family in the years before she ran for office, tweeted  that she's met congressional staffers who wait tables to supplement their government wages. 

Ocasio-Cortez's tweet came just a few hours after a reporter said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, another New York Democrat, is hiring an unpaid intern. And her message may have made an immediate impact, because later on Monday Schumer's office announced the job posting had been made "in error" and his interns will be paid a stipend in the new congress. 

Expelled...

The Danish government has come up with a plan to send dozens of rejected migrants to a remote island that currently houses a research center conducting tests on diseased animals. 

Among the migrants who could be sent to the island are criminals, rejected asylum seekers and others.

"If you are unwanted in Danish society, you should not be a nuisance to ordinary Danes," Denmark's immigration minister wrote on Facebook. "They are undesirable in Denmark, and they must feel it."

Expelled, criminal aliens have nothing to do in Denmark. Until we can get rid of them, we now move them out on the island Lindholm in Stege Bay, where they will be obliged to stay at the new exit center at night. And there will be police present around the clock.  Just a thought.

The Kid...

British wrestling legend Dynamite Kid who became a huge hit with fans in the 1980s has died on his 60th birthday, it was revealed today.

The wrestler from Golborne, Lancashire, whose real name was Tommy Billington, was one half of the British Bulldogs along with his cousin Davey Boy Smith.

But the World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) star had battled various health problems in his later years and had spent the last few decades in a wheelchair following a series of injuries.

Wrestling trainer Marty Jones tweeted: 'It's with great sadness I have to inform you all that The 'Dynamite Kid' Tom Billington on his birthday has passed away. A true British ambassador for wrestling worldwide. RIP 'Kid'. Condolences to Mark and his family.'

Cancer is the No. 2 cause of death in the US, second only to heart disease. Some cases of cancer are out of our control, but eating specific things ups the risk of developing some deadly cancers.

*Eating too much sweet stuff can not only lead to diabetes, but actively damage your cells and increase your risk of developing cancer. Sugar may fuel tumor growth in the body because cancer loves to use sugar as fuel.

*Salt-cured fish is high in nitrates and nitrites known carcinogens in animals that may also cause cancer in humans. The chemical compounds can damage DNA, leading to head and neck cancer. Eating lots of pickled foods can also increase your risk of stomach cancer.

*The World Health Organization says Processed meats like hot dogs, ham, bacon, and sausage can cause cancer. That's because the meat has been treated in some way to preserve or flavor it, such as by salting, curing, fermenting, or smoking.

*Obesity can put you at increased risk of developing types of cancers including breast, colon, rectum, esophagus, kidney, and pancreas.

*Any food that comes in a crinkly plastic wrapper, is industrially sealed, and is designed to last for months without spoiling may be a quick on-the-go fix for a hunger pang, but it's also most likely increasing your risk of cancer.

But there are things you can do to reduce your risk. Prevention includes eating healthy foods and getting enough physical activity, both of which not only help people maintain a healthy weight and reduce their chances of developing some of those cancers, but can also ward off depression and boost your mood, too.

Lawyers for President Donald Trump asked a court  for nearly $800,000 in lawyers' fees and penalties from porn actress Stormy Daniels for a failed defamation lawsuit against him.

Judge S. James Otero noted that fees as high as $840 an hour  were reasonable but the 580 hours spent on the case appeared to be excessive and might be trimmed in his eventual award. He had questioned whether attorneys' fees alone would serve as a deterrent.

Daniels alleges she had a one-night affair with Mr. Trump in 2006. She sued him seeking to break a non-disclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 election about the tryst as part of a $130,000 hush money settlement.

Despite the deal to stay quiet, Daniels spoke out publicly and alleged that five years after the affair she was threatened to keep quiet by a man she did not recognize in a Las Vegas parking lot. She also released a composite sketch of the Mystery man.

This doesn't happen in France or Italy. The Media used it to advance its own agenda against the president.  Just  a thought.

Desired...

If you have power and influence, this means you can get people to do things, and that is worth a lot of money.  So if you’ve got money, many women will be intrigued whether it also comes with power. If it does, you’ve trip-wired her to feel not only comfort with you but desire.

Women are attracted to power derived from leadership. They don’t get nearly the same tingly feelings from men who “pull the strings” as they do from men who put themselves in the firing line. 

Old money guys might have beautiful girls, but the relationship are more or less…… placid.

Meanwhile, new money guys tend to be playboys, hanging around with all sorts of models and living an adrenaline-fueled life. In contrast, new money guys are by requirement risk-takers and create both comfort through their cash and desire through their attitude.

Generally, the more risks you took to acquire your money and/or the more impact your venture made, the more desire you will ccreate. Guys who make big bucks in “stable,” corporate professions like Big Law or investment banking  can expect to create minimal desire no matter how much cash they make.

While money itself only creates comfort, the way the money is acquired might also create desire. That’s why women love rich guys, but not all rich guys the same way.

Aphrodisiac...

Money is an aphrodisiac to women. Ugly, out of shape men (literally) with pretty women so long as they have money. And society’s feminine beauties, the top shelf of attractive women, almost exclusively date men in the top 10%  of income.

While it’s safe to say all women like money, how much money they really demand varies per individual. Culture, personality, and upbringing all play a role.

All people hate to lose what they have, but women are notorious about demanding at least a consistent standard of living. If they get used to a certain way of life, they are loathe to give it up.

Be careful what you get a woman used to, as she will expect it in the future. Be aware that the higher-class woman you meet, the more you will have to provide for her.  

While most women like their man to bring in a little bit extra to make them both more comfortable, all women expect their man to at least be able to provide for himself.

Most men are OK with taking care of a woman financially. But flip the script, and it drives a woman crazy. Taking care of a man financially stresses a woman out, and though she may still love the man if he’s “showing up” in other ways, it takes the passion out of a relationship.

There’s a reason so many marriages fall apart when men lose their jobs. It’s not just financial stress, it’s the psychological stress that the woman now has to carry water for both of them. Even if they’re still living well on her salary alone, a woman providing for a man’s survival is just unattractive to her.

Even if the girl is much younger and doesn’t care that much about “financial comfort, she expects you to have money. If you don’t, it begins to undermine her comfort and her desire. She begins to question what’s wrong with you. 

So understand, the importance of money has everything to do with not only the girl’s age, but your own.

Mistook...

Police were responding to reports of a shooting Thanksgiving night at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, a suburb of 95,000 people south of Birmingham, when an officer fatally shot 21-year-old Emantic "EJ" Bradford Jr. 

Police initially blamed Bradford, who they said had a gun in his hand and was responsible for shooting two people at the mall. 

They later retracted that statement and identified Erron Brown, 20, of Bessemer, as the gunman. Brown was arrested by U.S. Marshals in the Atlanta area.

Witnesses have said Bradford, who was licensed to carry a gun, was trying to help usher others away from the gunfire.

The officer mistook him for a gunman at an Alabama mall, he was shot three times.
