Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <div dir="ltr">
The four members of Congress known as, The Squad. US Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) . These four are Manchurian candidates. They seek to destroy America from within. They have the potential to cause more lasting damage than any terrorist's bomb ever could. Their message is that America is bad. Everything American is bad. American values are bad. The American people are bad. The government and law enforcement are bad. Their message is that everyone in law enforcement is a racist that hates minorities. And that every criminal, murder, rapist and pedophile. Is a lost soul that just needs love and understanding. Their message is that everything anti-American is good. Everything against American values are good. That all of America's enemies are good. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So what is the goal of , The Squad and people like them in the Democratic Party? They want the people of the, Occupy Wall Street Movement, the people of Antifa. The people that rioted and burned down buildings in Ferguson. The people that attack anyone they see wearing a MAGA hat. The people that ask police officers to leave a Starbucks. They want these people and more. To want Socialism. To want Communism. To want anything other than the American system. And they do this with the help and protection of the Mainstream media. I ask people to remember what Ronald Reagan once said,</div>
<div dir="ltr">
'<b> Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. </b>" . President Trump did a public service by calling these people out.</div>

In 2015 German Chancellor Angela Merkel invited Japan to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Japan said no , but they might join sometime in the future . If Trump asks Japan again to join NATO. They might say yes. Japan and South Korea joining NATO. Would do a lot for peace and stability in the world.<br />

"A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth."<br />
~ G. Goebbels (Joseph Goebbels), Propaganda officer for Adolf Hitler<br />
<br />
<br />
If you watch CNN , MSNBC and other fake news. You will hear the same lies over and over again. President Trump is a racist. Trump is anti-Semitic. Trump refuses to denounce David Duke and white supremacists. Most of Trump supporters are racist. Why would CNN and other news outlets lie about this? This sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory to some people. However , just like there are religious zealots. There are also political zealots. People who want their political agenda to succeed and Trump's agenda to fail. People that want to stop Trump " By Any Means Necessary " . They don't care that their lies will cause racial diversion and violence in the streets of America . They don't care that any man , woman or teenager . Could be chased down in the street and beaten . Just for wearing a Trump hat. They don't care. Because the political zealots believe that , "The End Justifies The Means " .<br />
<br />
Let's start with the Trump is anti-Semitic lie. If a person has anti-Semitic views. It is reasonable to believe that person. Would pass on those views to their children . Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner . Jared Kushner is is a Jew. Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism . She is raising her children in the Jewish faith . Donald Trump welcomed Jared Kushner into his family with open arms. Donald Trump made Jared Kushner . One of his top people during the election. After he won the election . One of Donald Trump first moves. Was to give Jared Kushner a top position in the White House. The idea that President Trump is anti-Semitic is a insane idea. No reasonably intelligent person would think this to be true. But that does not stop CNN and other fake news outlets from trying to spread this lie. Out of the millions of viewers and readers they have. If they are only successful in getting a few thousand to believe this lie. Then that group of a few thousand. Will help spread the lie across social media. Will go out and hold protests. CNN will send reporters to those protests. They can keep reporting on and keep spreading this lie.<br />
<br />
Next let's talk about the lie that Trump is a white supremacist. Trump refuses to denounce David Duke , the KKK and other white supremacist groups. The truth is completely opposite. Trump has a long history of denouncing David Duke and white supremacists. Years ago Donald Trump spoke out against David Duke. During the election Trump disavowed David Duke and white supremacists countless times.<br />
<br />
What about Charlottesville . Trump never said their was a ( moral equivalency ) between the white supremacist and the protesters. Trump never said the Nazi group were fine people. Trump said there was violence on both sides. That is true. That is a fact. Trump said some of the people protesting the removal of the statute were fine people. He was not talking about the KKK , Nazi or white nationalists. There was some people and groups there. That had no connection to the white supremacists and did not support the white supremacists. It is true there were some fine people there. These people were there to just protest the removal of the statue or just there to support free speech . The video below proves that to be true.<br />
<br />
Has there been a rise in activity from white supremacy groups since the election of Trump? Yes that is true. Do some members of these white supremacy groups feel that Trump supports them. ? Yes that is true. But it is not because President Trump is a racist because he is not one. There has been a rise in activity from white supremacy groups. Because CNN and other fake news outlets wanted it to happen. They made it happen. I don't remember a time when David Duke , the KKK and other white supremacy groups , were talked about so much. CNN bends over backwards trying to connect everything Trump does to white supremacy groups. They say Trump wants to build a wall because that's what white supremacy groups want. They say Trump wants a travel ban because that's what white supremacy groups want. It is reasonably to believe that so much talk about the KKK and white supremacy groups. Is going to draw these people out from under the rocks they live. Of course they will think that Trump supports them. They are told this by CNN every day. Winston Churchill said " A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. "<br />
<br />
In conclusion , I know this all sounds depressing as hell. Because it is depressing as hell. This is a sad time for America. A sad time for freedom. If you told me ten years ago. That some day people in America would be chased down in the street and beaten . Just for showing support for a political candidate. I would have said that you were crazy. I would have said that only happens in third world nations. That would never happen in the United States. But that is the reality that we live in today. I want to leave you with a little bit of hope for the future. Buddha said , "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.<br />

To make it a more productive organization. To better serve the needs of less wealthy nations. President Trump should ask the United Nations to move out of the United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why is the United Nations in New York? It has no real reason for being there. It also poses a huge security threat to America. All those unchecked diplomatic bags. And many members of the UN have been involved in spying and other criminal activity . Many Americans as well as people from other parts of the world would like to see the United Nations moved. Many nations would donate money. And the new United Nations building would end up being a thousand times better.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
<b>Switzerland</b><br />
Switzerland is of course the perfect place for the UN.<br />
<br />
<b>Iceland </b><br />
Iceland is another great place for the UN. It's location offers great security. It's economy has taken a big hit in recent years. This would help it get back on track.<br />
<br />
<b>Africa </b><br />
<br />
Some of the oldest human fossils have been found in Ethiopia. All of mankind all races came from Africa. Legends say the lost city of Atlantis was in Ethiopia. The Ark of the Covenant is also said to be in Ethiopia. The past of mankind is in Ethiopia, and maybe our future also. This is the perfect home for the UN.<br />
<br />
Bono and thing like Live 8 put Africa in the spotlight from time to time. But people then move on and forget about it. If you want to stop the spread of HIV in Africa. If you want to help the poor people of Africa. You have to put Africa in the spotlight and keep it there.<br />
<br />
Moving the UN to Ethiopia would give all of Africa a huge economic kick start. The poor nations would have easy access to the UN. It would help keep government in the area stable. The UN could keep better watch over how aid money is spent.<br />
<br />
Why not build a new United Nations in Ethiopia or another part of Africa. South Africa would make a good spot, and many other places as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For national security and economic reasons. President Trump should have some of the oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) should come from Coal. Every time the price of gas gets high there is debate about taping into the SPR. But want if the SPR ran out? What if there is another oil embargo or some other cut in the oil supply? If the oil came from clean coal we could just make more. We do not have to spend billions in research , they have been doing this is South Africa for many years. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is a national security matter. One of the main goals of the SPR is a fuel supply for the military,ships,tanks and air craft. Do not think any of these will be using solar power anytime soon. They need a reliable oil source. This will also create real long lasting American jobs. God bless America.<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
In one move President Trump could boost the economy . Create real long lasting Americana jobs. Help to lower the price of gas. Cut the amount of money going to nations that support terrorist groups. Increase the national security of the United States. All of this would happen if some the oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) came from Coal.<br />

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Thomas JeffersonUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009796626212397588.post-63430005305817443032017-03-16T08:12:00.000-07:002017-09-04T03:49:53.697-07:00What's next for Trump's travel ban executive orderHow do you get Trump's travel ban executive order to work? How do you keep it from being blocked by some judge ? You have to take Muslims out of the equation. How do you do this? The answer to this is NATO. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization. There are 28 nations that are members of NATO. NATO created a group called the Partnership for Peace . The Partnership for Peace is made up of about 22 nations. The United States created a group of nations known as Major non-NATO allies. Some of the Major non-NATO allies are Japan , South Korea and Israel.<br />
<br />
Look at these 3 groups. NATO , Partnership for Peace and Major non-NATO allies . Step 1 would be a travel ban executive order on all nations not part of the 3 groups. If Trump is able to put step 1 in place. If it does not get blocked. Then step 2. Step 2 would be an executive order that would give a waiver to a specific list of countries. NATO was created for security. The Partnership for Peace was created for security. Major non-NATO allies created for security. No one can say NATO was created to ban Muslims. No one can say the Partnership for Peace was created to ban Muslims. No one can say Major non-NATO allies was created to ban Muslims . This is not a perfect solution. But it is a step in the right direction.<br />

Why the ten dollar bill? Sometimes people call money dead presidents. That is because the faces of past presidents are on most American currency. Most not all. Benjamin Franklin is on the one hundred dollar bill. Benjamin Franklin was never president . Alexander Hamilton is on the ten dollar bill . He was not a president. Salmon P. Chase is on the 10,000 dollar bill. He was never president. So it need to be the 10, 100 or the 10,000 dollar bill. Most people will never touch or every see a 10,000 dollar bill. So that is out. Benjamin Franklin is awesome. So it can not be the 100 dollar bill. Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father of America. He played an important in our History. As a Founding Father of America. Hamilton wanted the best for this nation and it's people. Neil Armstrong reminds us of the best that we can be. 500 years from now. Neil Armstrong will still be an inspiration to Americans and people all over the world. I think if Alexander Hamilton was alive today he would approve of Neil Armstrong being on the ten dollar bill. <br />

I don't think Donald Trump's campaign team is doing a good job. He should be way ahead of Hillary Clinton at this point. His campaign ads suck. His campaign ads are boring , generic ads that don't do any good. He needs campaign ads that people talk about at the water cooler. Campaign ads that could go viral. Also he needs to take the fight to the streets. Focus on the everyday everyday average. There are about 35 days until the election. The news media is in the tank for Hillary. Battling it out on cable news shows will not help much. He needs to focus on get his getting your message directly to the American people. By way of more tv ads, Facebook and YouTube videos. He needs much better campaign ads and he needs more of them. He are a few things he needs to focus on.<br />
<br />
Number one. Hillary Clinton is a government official. A government official whose staff had to invoke the Fifth Amendment during an investigation. This has to be used in a campaign ads. The news media never talks about this. A lot of voters out there never heard about this.<br />
<br />
Number two. Donald Trump is being portrayed by the media. As a rich billion that only cares about the rich and Wall street. Hillary Clinton is being portrayed as a regular person that will fight Wall Street and the big banks. That is total BS. Most of the money from Wall Street and the big banks is going to Hillary Clinton. This is something Trump needs to use in campaign ads. This may or may not get Bernie Sanders supporters to vote for Trump. But it will get them to not vote for Hillary Clinton.<br />
<br />
Number three. Trump has to talk about Bill Clinton in campaign ads. Donald Trump himself should never talk about this. Kellyanne Conway, Katrina Pierson, Kayleigh McEnany or some other woman on the Trump campaign team should talk about this. In every campaign ad about Bill Clinton they need to use video of Michelle Obama saying, " If you can't run your own house you can't run the White House " .<br />
<br />
But Bill Clinton is not the candidate. This is old news. When ever Trump or one of his supporters go on one of the cable news shows. And they start to talk about Bill Clinton the host of the show immediately cuts them off. The host say Bill is not the candidate this is old news. Hillary has said that she will put Bill in charge of creating new jobs. Bill Clinton will play a big part in the administration and key policy decisions. Bill Clinton is not going to be restricted to the normal First Lady roles of the past. On the issue of Bill Clinton's bad behavior being old news. Most people might know about Monica Lewinsky. But Gennifer Flowers , Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick were all before the boom of the internet and social media. Millions of young female voters. Have no idea that Bill Clinton had to pay 850,000 to Paula Jones in a sexual harassment lawsuit. Millions of young female voters. Have no idea that Juanita Broaddrick said that Bill Clinton raped her. They have no idea how Hillary Clinton attacked these women. This issue is important. In a environment where a rapist like Brock Turner is released from jail after serving only 3 months . Donald Trump has a duty to talk about how Hillary treated Paula Jones and others.<br />

Also shot were the baby's mother , grandmother and a third woman, who was 4 months pregnant at the time. The mother was shot 11 times while she was holding her baby. The baby's name was Kendarius Edwards. The 3 women are still alive. A group of masked gunmen broke into the home. The 3 women took the baby , ran into the bathroom and looked the door. The gunmen kicked down the bathroom door and started shooting. <br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>Rep. Dana Rohrabacher <br />Thursday, April 26, 2001 <br />This is the text of a speech on the House floor by U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. <br /><br />Mr. Speaker, one month ago, the Communist regime that controls the mainland of China attacked an American surveillance aircraft while it was in international waters. After being knocked out of the sky, 24 American military personnel, the crew of the surveillance craft, were held hostage for nearly 2 weeks. The Communist Chinese blamed us and would not return the crew until the United States was humiliated before the world. <br /><br />Wake up, America. What is going on here? Large financial interests in our country whose only goal is exploiting the cheap, near-slave labor of China have been leading our country down the path to catastrophe. How much more proof do we need that the so-called engagement theory is a total failure? <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our massive investment in China, pushed and promoted by American billionaires and multinational corporations, has created not a more peaceful, democratic China, but an aggressive nuclear-armed bully that now threatens the world with its hostile acts and proliferation.</span> Do the Communist Chinese have to murder American personnel or attack the United States or our allies with their missiles before those who blithesomely pontificate about the civilizing benefits of building the Chinese economy will admit that China for a decade has been going in the opposite direction than predicted by the so-called ``free traders.'' <br /><br />'We Have Made a Monstrous Mistake' <br /><br />We have made a monstrous mistake, and if we do not face reality and change our fundamental policies, instead of peace, there will be conflict. Instead of democratic reform, we will see a further retrenchment of a regime that is run by gangsters and thugs, the world's worst human rights abusers. <br /><br />Let us go back to basics. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The mainland of China is controlled by a rigid, Stalinistic Communist party. The regime is committing genocide in Tibet. </span>It is holding as a captive the designated successor of the Dalai Lama, who is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. By the way, this person, the designated new leader, is a little boy. They are holding hostage a little boy in order to terrorize the Tibetan people. The regime is now, at this moment, arresting thousands of members of the Falun Gong, which is nothing more threatening than a meditation and yoga society. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Christians of all denominations are being brutalized unless they register with the state and attend controlled churches.</span> Just in the last few days, there has been a round-up of Catholics who were practicing their faith outside of state control. Now they are in a Chinese prison. <br /><br />There are no opposition parties in China. There is no free press in China. China is not a free society under anyone's definition. More importantly, it is not a society that is evolving toward freedom. <br /><br />President Richard Nixon first established our ties with the Communist Chinese in 1972 at the height of the Cold War. That was a brilliant move. At that particular moment, it was a brilliant move. It enabled us to play the power of one dictatorship off the power of another dictatorship. We played one against the other at a time when we had been weakened by the Vietnam War and at a time when Soviet Russia was on the offensive. <br /><br />During the Reagan years, we dramatically expanded our ties to China, but do not miss the essential fact that justified that relationship and made it different than what has been going on these last 10 years. China was at that time, during the Reagan administration, evolving toward a freer, more open society, a growing democratic movement was evident, and the United States, our government and our people, fostered this movement. Under President Reagan, we brought tens of thousands of students here, and we sent teams from our National Endowment for Democracy there. We were working with them to build a more democratic society, and it looked like that was what was going to happen. All of this ended, of course, in Tiananmen Square over 10 years ago. <br /><br />'Tanks to Wipe Out the Opposition' <br /><br />Thousands of Chinese gathered there in Tiananmen Square in Beijing to demand a more open and democratic government. For a moment, it appeared like there had been an historic breakthrough. Then, from out of the darkness came battle-hardened troops and tanks to wipe out the opposition. The people who ordered that attack are still holding the reins of power in China today and, like all other criminals who get away with scurrilous deeds, they have become emboldened and arrogant. <br /><br />My only lament is that had Ronald Reagan been president during that time of Tiananmen Square, things, I think, would have been different; but he was not. Since that turn of events about 12 years ago, things have been progressively worse. The repression is more evident than ever. The belligerence and hostility of Beijing is even more open. Underscoring the insanity of it all, <span style="font-weight: bold;">the Communist Chinese have been using their huge trade surplus with the United States to upgrade their military and expand its warfighting capabilities.</span> <br /><br />Communist China's arsenal of jets, its ballistic missiles, its naval forces have all been modernized and reinforced. In the last 2 years, they have purchased destroyers from the former Soviet Union. These destroyers are armed with Sunburn missiles. These were systems that were designed during the Cold War by the Russians to destroy American aircraft carriers. <br /><br />Yes, the Communist Chinese are arming themselves to sink American aircraft carriers, to kill thousands upon thousands of American sailors. Make no mistake about it, China's military might now threatens America and world peace. If there is a crisis in that part of the world again, which there will be, we can predict that some day, unlike the last crisis when American aircraft carriers were able to become a peaceful element to bring moderation of judgment among the players who were in conflict, instead, American aircraft carriers will find themselves vulnerable, and an American President will have to face the choice of risking the lives of all of those sailors on those aircraft carriers. <br /><br />Mr. Speaker, how is it, then, that a relatively poor country can afford to enlarge its military in such a way, to the point that it can threaten a superpower such as the United States of America? <br /><br />Even as China's slide into tyranny and militarism continued in these last 12 years, the United States government has permitted a totally indefensible economic rules of engagement to guide our commercial ties with the mainland of China. <br /><br />While China was going in the right direction, permitting that country to have a large trade advantage and thus providing a large reserve of hard currency may or may not have made sense, as long as China was going in the right direction and going towards democracy. Maybe we would like to build up a freer China that way. <br /><br />It 'Makes No Sense' to Help Arm China <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">But it made no sense, and it still makes no sense, for the United States to permit a country that is sinking even deeper into tyranny and into anti-Western hostility to have a huge trade surplus as a resource to call upon to meet their military needs.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In effect, the Communist Chinese have been using the tens of billions of dollars of trade surplus with the United States each year to build their military power and military might so some day the Communist Chinese might be able to kill millions of our people, or at least to threaten us to do that in order to back us down into defeat without ever coming to a fight.</span> <br /><br />We have essentially been arming and equipping our worst potential enemy and financing our own destruction. How could we let such a crime against the security of our country happen? Well, it was argued by some very sincere people that free trade would bring positive change to China, and that engagement would civilize the Communist regime. <br /><br />Even as evidence stacked upon more evidence indicated that China was not liberalizing, that just the opposite was happening, the barkers for open markets kept singing their song: ``Most-favored-nation status, just give us this and things will get better.'' It was nonsense then and it is nonsense today. But after all that has happened, one would think that the shame factor would silence these eternal optimists. <br /><br />Perhaps I am a bit sensitive because, first and foremost, let me state unequivocally that I consider myself a free trader. Yes, I believe in free trade between free people. What we should strive for is to have more and more open trade with all free and democratic countries, or countries that are heading in the right direction. <br /><br />I am thus positively inclined towards President Bush's efforts to establish a free trade zone among the democratic countries in this hemisphere. I will read the fine print, but my inclination is to facilitate trade between democracies. <br /><br />When I say, ``I will read the fine print,'' I will be especially concerned with a free trade agreement, and I will be looking to that free trade agreement to make sure that we have protection that our sensitive technologies, which can be used for military purposes, will not be transferred from the countries in our hemisphere, democratic countries in our hemisphere, to China or to any other countries that are potential enemies of the United States. This will have to be in that free trade agreement. <br /><br />There will have to be protections against the transfer of our technology to our enemies. This is more of a concern following new science and technology agreements that were signed by China and countries like Brazil and Venezuela recently. Dictatorships are always going to try to gain in any agreement that they have with us, and they are always going to try to manipulate other agreements and the rules of the game so they can stay in power. <br /><br />When one applies the rules of free trade to a controlled society, as we have been told over and over again, more trade, and let us have free trade with China, that is going to make them more dependent on us and they will be freer and more prosperous, more likely to be peaceful people, well, if we apply the rules of free trade to a dictatorship, ultimately what happens is that it is only free trade in one direction. <br /><br />On one end we have free people, a democratic people who are not controlled by their government, and thus are basically unregulated and are moving forward for their own benefit. But on the other end, the trade will be controlled and manipulated to ensure that the current establishment of that country stays in power. <br /><br />Never has that been more evident than in America's dealing with Communist China. In this case, it is so very blatant. <br /><br />Those advocating most-favored-nation status, or as it is called now, normal trade relations, have always based their case on the boon to our country represented by the sale of American goods to ``the world's largest market.'' That is their argument. Here on this floor over and over and over again we heard people say, ``We have to have these normal trade relations because we have to sell our products, the products made by the American people, to the world's largest market.'' <br /><br />This Is Free Trade? <br /><br />That is a great pitch. The only problem is, it is not true. The sale of U.S.-produced vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, autos, you name the commercial item, are almost a non-factor in the trade relationship between our countries. They are a minuscule amount of what is considered the trade analysis of these two countries. <br /><br />During these many years that we have given China most-favored-nation status or normal trade relations, the power elite there never lowered China's tariffs, and in fact increased the tariffs in some areas, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">erected barriers to prevent the sale of all but a few U.S.-made products.</span> <br /><br />So while we had low tariffs, and intentionally brought our tariffs down by most-favored-nation, for over a decade, even as China was slipping more into tyranny, they were permitted to have high tariffs and block our goods from coming in. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Beijing would not permit its own people to buy American-made consumer items.</span> They were not looking for a trade relationship with the United States for their people to be able to buy American products. That is not what they were looking for. That is not what it was all about. They knew it, but yet our people were told over and over and over and over and over again, ``Oh, we have to have most-favored-nation status and normal trade relations in order to sell American products to the world's largest market.'' <br /><br />That is not what was going on. It is not what the reality was. Instead, <span style="font-weight: bold;">the Communist Chinese were out to get American money, lots of it, and American money to build factories, and they wanted the Americans to build the factories with our technology and our money in their country.</span> <br /><br />By the way, many of the factories that were built there were not built in order to sell products to the Chinese people. Those factories were built to export products to the United States. <br /><br />The system that developed with the acquiescence of our government, and this is no secret, what I am talking about tonight is no secret to anyone except to the American people, our government acquiesced to this for years, this policy put the American people, the American working people, on the losing end of the transformational action in the long run and sometimes even in the medium run. <br /><br />The Chinese, because of our low tariffs, flooded our market with their products, and blocked our goods from entering China, and all the while we were hearing over and over again, ``We must have most-favored-nation status in order to sell American products in the world's largest market.'' <br /><br />They droned on year after year that most-favored-nation status was so important to selling our products in the world's largest market. I will just repeat that four or five times, because we must have heard it a thousand times on this floor, and every time said, I am sure, in complete sincerity by the people who were expressing it, but were totally wrong. A very quick look into the statistics could have indicated that. <br /><br />Taiwan a Better Customer <br /><br />By the way, just to let members know,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> the people of Taiwan, numbering 22 million people, buy more from us annually than the 1.2 Chinese on the mainland. The Taiwanese, with 22 million people, buy more consumer products from us than do 1.2 billion Chinese in the mainland.</span> <br /><br />What has happened? What has happened as a result of these nonsensical counterproductive policies, anti-American policies to some degree, even though our own government has acquiesced in them? It has resulted in a <span style="font-weight: bold;">decline in domestic manufacturing facilities in the United States. In other words, we have been closing down our factories and putting our people out of work.</span> <br /><br />By the way, that does not mean the company is put out of business. Those factories spring up someplace else. There is this flood of Chinese products, <span style="font-weight: bold;">the factory closes down, and guess where it reopens? It reopens, yes, in Communist China, using our modern technology and our capital, which is what the Chinese want to have invested in their country.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Taxing Americans to Help Communism</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Adding insult to injury, our working people, some of them, whose jobs are being threatened by imports, our working people are being taxed in order to provide taxpayer-subsidized loans and loan guarantees for those corporate leaders wishing to close down their operations in the United States and set up on the mainland of China.</span> <br /><br />Even if China was a free country, that would not be a good idea. I do not believe we should be doing that even for democratic countries. But for us to do that to a Communist dictatorship or any kind of dictatorship, <span style="font-weight: bold;">to have the American taxpayer subsidize these investments, taking the risks on the shoulders of the American taxpayer in order to build the economy of a vicious dictatorship, this is insane. This is an insane policy. </span>This is not free trade between free people. It has nothing to do with free trade. It is subsidized trade with subjugated people. <br /><br />Companies that were permitted to sell their product to the Chinese in these last 10 years, and there have been a few, companies like Boeing who have attempted to sell airplanes to China, have found themselves in a very bad predicament. As part of the deal enabling them to sell planes now to Communist China, they have had to set up manufacturing facilities in China to build the parts, or at least some of the parts for the airplane. <br /><br />Thus, over a period of time, what the Chinese have managed to do is to have the United States just build factories and pay for them. Or, as part of an agreement to sell the airplane, we have set up an aerospace industry in China that will compete with our own aerospace industry. <br /><br />I come from California. I come from a district in which aerospace is a mighty important part of our economy. I just want to thank all the people who have permitted this policy, this blackmail of American companies, to go on under the name, under the guise of free trade. It is going to sell out our own national interest 10 years down the road when these people will have a modern aerospace industry building weapons and being able to undercut our own people. Gee, thanks. <br /><br />Making matters worse, many of the so-called companies in China that are partnering with American industrialists, and American industrialists, when they are going to build in China, are often required to have a Chinese company as their partner as a prerequisite to them investing in China, in short order these so-called partners end up taking over the company. So many of American companies have been there and have been burned. <br /><br />Guess what, we look at these private Chinese companies that were partners with our American firms, we look at them, and what do we find out? They are not private companies at all. Many of them are subsidiaries of the People's Liberation Army. That is right, the Communist Chinese army owns these companies. These are nothing more than military people in civilian clothing. Their profits end up paying for weapons targeting America, and we are paying them to build the companies that make those profits. <br /><br />'Alarming Betrayal of American Security' <br /><br />Perhaps the most alarming betrayal of American national security interests surfaced about 5 years ago when some of America's biggest aerospace firms went into China hoping to use Chinese rockets to launch American satellites. They were trying to make a fast buck. It did not cost them a lot more to launch satellites here. <br /><br />Yes, the Chinese were insisting that any satellites we put up for them be put up on their rockets. I personally thought that, as long as we made sure there was no technology transfer, that was an okay policy. As long as we just launched our American satellite which helped them set up a telephone system or something in China, that is fine if they never got ahold of it, and that would be okay. <br /><br />I was guaranteed, along with the other Members of this body, there would be incredible safeguards. The last administration briefed us on the safeguards. Then as soon as we approved of letting these satellite deals go through and our satellites be launched on Chinese rockets, the administration trash canned all of the safeguards. I do not understand it. I do not understand why people did this. <br /><br />But when all was said and done, the Communist Chinese rocket arsenal was filled with more reliable and more capable rockets, thanks to Loral, Hughes and other aerospace firms. Communist Chinese rockets, which were a joke 10 years ago, when Bill Clinton became President of the United States, they were a joke, one out of 10 failed, exploded before they could get into space. Today they are dramatically more likely to hit their targets, and they even carry multiple warheads. Where before they had one warhead and nine out of 10 would explode, now about 9 out of 10 get to their target, and some of them are carrying multiple warheads. <br /><br />The Cox Report <br /><br />The Cox report detailed this travesty. We should not forget the Cox report. Unfortunately, there has been innuendo after innuendo as if the Cox report has in some way been proven wrong. There are no reports that indicate that what the gentleman from California (Mr. COX) and his task force proved has in some way been discredited. In fact, there was a transfer of technology to the Communist Chinese that did great damage to our national security and put millions of American lives at risk that did not have to be put at risk. <br /><br />Yet, even with all this staring Congress in the face, we have continued to give Most Favored Nations status to China and even now vote to make them part of the World Trade Organization. Why? One explanation, well just bad theory. Expanding trade, of course, they believe will make things better. But expanding trade did not make things better. Expanding trade with a dictatorship, as I have mentioned, just expands the power base and solidifies the bad guys in power. <br /><br />Of course the other explanation of why all this is going on, why we end up seeing our national security trashed is pure greed on some individuals' parts. <br /><br />Our businessmen have been blinded, not by the dream of selling U.S.-made products to China as they would have you believe in the debates here on the floor of the House, but rather blinded by the vision of using virtually slave labor for quick profits on the mainland of China. <br /><br />With little or no competition, no negotiators, no lawyers, no environmental restrictions, no unions, no public consent, it sounds like a businessman's dream to me. Yes, it is a businessman's dream if you just blot out the picture of a grinding tyranny and the human rights abuses that are going on and the horrible threat to the United States of America that is emerging because of the things that are going on and the things that are being done. <br /><br />Because you are a businessman, because you are engaged in making a profit as we are free to do in the United States does not exempt you from being a patriot or being loyal to the security interests of the United States of America. <br /><br />Today's American overseas businessman quite often is a far cry from the Yankee clipper captains of days gone by. In those days, our Yankee clipper ships sailed the ocean, cut through those seas, the Seven Seas. They were full going over, and they were full coming back. They waived our flag. Our flag was flying from those clipper ships, and our flag stood for freedom and justice. Those Yankee clipper captains and those business entrepreneurs were proud to be Americans. <br /><br />Today, America's tycoons often see nationalism, read that loyalty to the United States, as an antiquated notion. They are players in the global economy now, they feel. Patriotism they believe is old think. <br /><br />Well, we cannot rely on the decisions of people like this to determine what the interests of the United States of America is to be. Yet, the influence of these billionaires and these tycoons, these people who would be willing to invest in a dictatorship or a democracy, they could care less which one, they do not care if there is blood dripping off the hand that hands them the dollar bills, those individuals influence our government. Their influence on this elected body is monumental, if not insurmountable at times. <br /><br />'People Must Be Free' <br /><br />I believe in capitalism. I am a capitalist. I am someone who believes in the free enterprise system, make no mistake about it. But free is the ultimate word. People must be free to be involved in enterprise. We must respect the basic tenets of liberty and justice that have provided us a country in which people are free to uplift themselves through hard work and through enterprise. <br /><br />Today, more often than not, we are talking about how people are trying to find out ways of manipulating government on how to make a profit, not how to build a better product that will enrich everyone's life and make a profit by doing that, which is the essence of the free enterprise system. <br /><br />More and more people are not even looking again to this great country and considering this great country for the role that it is playing in this world and how important it is and how we should never sacrifice the security of this country. Because if this country falls, the hope for freedom and justice everywhere in the world falls. No, instead they have put their baskets, not in the United States of America, put their eggs in the basket of globalism. Well, globalism will not work without democratic reform. <br /><br />China will corrupt the WTO, the World Trade Organization, just as it has corrupted the election processes in the United States of America. You can see it now 20 years from now, maybe 10 years from now, the panels of the WTO, you know, made up of countries from all over the world, Latin America, Africa, Middle East. There are members of those panels making these decisions, they will not have ever been elected by anybody, much less the people of the United States of America, yet we will be expected to follow their dictates. Communist China, they will pay those people off in a heartbeat. Why not? They did it to our people. <br /><br />The Clinton-Gore Scandals <br /><br />Remember the campaign contributions given to Vice President Gore at the Buddhist Temple? Remember the money delivered to the Clinton's by Johnny Chung? Where did that money come from? We are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars. Where did it come from? It originated with Chinese military officers. <br /><br />These military officers were wearing civilian clothes. They were top officers in that part of the People's Liberation Army that produces missiles. That is where the money came from, all this while our most deadly missile technology was being transferred to Communist China. One wonders why the Communist Chinese leaders are arrogant and think that American leaders are cowards and corrupt when we let this happen. <br /><br />Our country has, in short, had a disastrously counterproductive policy. We have, over the last 10 years, built our worst potential enemy from a weak, introverted power into a powerful economic military force, a force that is looking to dominate all of Asia. When I say worst potential enemy, that is not just my assessment. That is what the Communist Chinese leaders themselves believe and are planning for. <br /><br />Why do you think Communist Chinese boss Jiang Zemin recently visited Cuba? He was in Cuba with Fidel Castro who hates our guts when he released the hostages, the American military personnel that he was holding hostage. What do you think that was all about? He was telling the whole world we are standing up to the United States of America, and they are our enemy. He was involved with an activity that was declaring to the world his hostility towards the United States. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why, when you have a country like this who are professing hostility to the United States and doing such as this, why are we permitting them to buy up ports that will effectively give them control of the Panama Canal, which is what they did a year and a half ago.</span> <br /><br />Giving China the Panama Canal <br /><br />The Panama Canal, the last administration let the Chinese, the Communist Chinese, through bribery, tremendously expand its power in Panama and, through bribery, let it get control of the port facilities at both ends of the Panama Canal. Why would we let such a thing happen? <br /><br />In many ways, we are repeating history. In the 1920s, Japanese militarists wiped out Japan's fledgling democratic movement. That it did. In doing so, it set a course for Japan. Japan then was a racist power which believed it, too, had a right to dominate Asia. Japanese militarists also knew that only the United States of America stood in their way. This is deja vu all over again as Yogi Berra once said. <br /><br />The Communist Chinese, too, are militarists who seek to dominate Asia. They think they are racially superior to everyone. They are unlike their Japanese predecessors, however, willing to go slow, and they have been going slow. But make no mistake about it, they intend to dominate Asia, all of it. And even know, their maps claim Siberia, Mongolia and huge chunks of the South China Sea. <br /><br />The confrontation with our surveillance plane must be reviewed in this perspective if the damage to the United States and the imprudence and arrogance on the part of the communist Chinese are to be understood. <br /><br />China's claim on the South China Sea includes the Spratley Islands. I have a map of the South China Sea with me tonight. Hainan Island. Our airplane was intercepted, knocked out of the sky somewhere in here. But what we are not told about and what the media is not focusing on and no one has been talking about is this plane was precisely in the waters between Hainan Island and the Spratley Islands. <br /><br />For those who do not know what the Spratley Islands are, they are just a series of reefs that are under water at high tide and at low tide above water. They are just a short distance, as you can see, this is here, this is the Philippines; and right about 100 miles offshore, the Spratley Islands. Yet they are several hundred miles from China. Yet the Chinese are trying to claim these islands. That is what this was all about. Not only are these islands, the Spratley Islands, the home of natural gas and oil deposits, but they are also in a strategic location. The Spratly Islands, having them in China's power, having them being recognized as part of China, would, of course, be a disaster to the Philippines whose oil and gas that belongs to, but also it would give the Communist Chinese sovereignty rights which would permit them to bracket the South China Sea. China, Hainan Island, the Spratlys would bracket the South China Sea, from this land point to this land point. Thus, we have a situation where when China claims, which it does, a 200-mile zone, that would leave China with a stranglehold on the South China Sea which is one of the most important commercial areas on this planet. It would have a stranglehold on Japan and Korea. <br /><br />What do you think our friends in the Persian Gulf, for example, would think about it if they understood that this was a power play, that what we had with the surveillance aircraft was a power play? The reason why the Communist Chinese were demanding an apology then, they were demanding an apology because supposedly we were in their airspace. If we apologized, that was a recognition of their sovereignty in bracketing with the Spratly Islands on one side and Hainan Island on the other side, bracketing the South China Sea. If we ended up apologizing to the Communist regime, it would have been taken as a legal recognition, a small one, of their sovereignty and their 200-mile limit. That is what this was all about. That is why they were playing hardball with us. <br /><br />The American people and our allies are not being told that that is what the stakes were. This is a long-term effort on the part of the Communist Chinese to dominate the South China Sea and expand their power so they could call it maybe the Communist China Sea rather than the South China Sea. It behooves us to face these facts. That is what it was all about. That is why they wanted an apology and that is why they should not have gotten an apology. <br /><br />I applaud this administration for wording its letter in a way that was not and could not in any way be interpreted as a recognition of the Chinese sovereignty over that airspace. An accommodationist policy toward Communist China, ignoring this type of aggression, ignoring human rights and democracy concerns while stressing expanded trade, and even through all this you have a bunch of people saying, ``Oh, isn't it lucky we have trade relations or we would really be in trouble with the Communist Chinese.'' Give me a break. But ignoring those other elements and just stressing trade as part of a so-called engagement theory has not worked. <br /><br />The regime in China is more powerful, more belligerent to the United States and more repressive than ever before. President Bush's decision in the wake of this incident at Hainan Island to sell an arms package to Taiwan including destroyers, submarines and an antiaircraft upgrade was good. At least it shows more moxie than what the last administration did. <br /><br />I would have preferred to see the Aegis system be provided to our Taiwanese friends. But at least we have gone forward with a respectable arms deal that will help Taiwan defend itself and thus deter military action in that area. <br /><br />Cancel 'All U.S. Military Exchanges' With China <br /><br />But after the Hainan Island incident, the very least we should be doing is canceling all U.S. military exchanges with Communist China. I mean, I do not know if they are still delivering us those berets or not, but that is just ridiculous to think that we are getting our military berets from Communist China. We should cancel all military exchanges. <br /><br />The American people should be put on alert that they are in danger if they travel to the mainland of China. And we should quit using our tax dollars through the Export-Import Bank, the IMF and the World Bank to subsidize big business when they want to build a factory in China or in any other dictatorship. <br /><br />Why are we helping Vietnam and China? Why are we helping those dictatorships when nearby people, the people of the Philippines, whom I just mentioned, who are on the front line against this Communist aggression, who China is trying to flood drugs into their country. The Chinese army itself is involved in the drug trade going into the Philippines. <br /><br />The Philippines are struggling to have a democracy. They have just had to remove a president who is being bribed. Bribed by whom? Bribed by organized crime figures from the mainland of China. When those people in the Philippines are struggling, why are we not trying to help them? <br /><br />Let us not encourage American businesses to go to Vietnam or to Communist China, when you have got people right close by who are struggling to have a democratic government and love the United States of America. The people of the Philippines are strong and they love their freedom and their liberty, but they feel like they have been abandoned by the United States. And when we help factories to be set up in China rather than sending work to the Philippines, and they do not even have the money to buy the weapons to defend themselves in the Philippines. That is why it is important for us to stand tall, so they know they can count on us. But they can only count on us if we do what is right and have the courage to stand up. <br /><br />The same with China and India. India is not my favorite country in the world, but I will tell you this much, the Indians are struggling to have a free and democratic society. They have democratic institutions, and it is a struggle because they have so many varied people that live in India. But they are struggling to make their country better and to have a democratic system and to have rights and have a court system that functions, to have opposition newspapers. They do not have any of that in China. Yet instead of helping the Indian people, we are helping the Communist Chinese people? This is misplaced priorities at best. <br /><br />Finally, in this atmosphere of turmoil and confrontation, let us never forget who are our greatest allies, and that is the Chinese people themselves. Let no mistake in the wording that I have used tonight indicate that I hold the Chinese people accountable or synonymous with the Chinese government or with Beijing or with the Communist Party in China. The people of China are as freedom-loving and as pro-American as any people of the world. <br /><br />The people of China are not separated from the rest of humanity. They too want freedom and honest government. They want to improve their lives. They do not want a corrupt dictatorship over them. And any struggle for peace and prosperity, any plan for our country to try to bring peace to the world and to bring a better life and to support the cause of freedom must include the people of China. <br /><br />We do not want war. We want the people of China to be free. Then we could have free and open trade because it would be a free country and it would be free trade between free people instead of this travesty that we have today, which is a trade policy that strengthens the dictatorship. <br /><br />When the young people of China rose up and gathered together at Tiananmen Square, they used our Statue of Liberty as a model for their own goddess of liberty. That was the statue that they held forth. That was their dream. They dreamed that her torch, the goddess of liberty, would enlighten all China and they dreamed of a China democratic, prosperous and free. Our shortsighted policy of subsidized one-way trade crushes that goddess of liberty every bit as much as those Red Army tanks did 12 years ago. <br /><br />'Re-examine Our Souls' <br /><br />Let us re-examine our souls. Let us re-examine our policies. Let us reach out to the people of China and claim together that we are all people of this planet, as our forefathers said, we are the ones, we are the people who have been given by God the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That is not just for Americans. That is for all the people of the world. <br /><br />And when we recognize that and reach out with honesty and not for a quick buck, not just to make a quick buck and then get out, but instead to reach over to those people and help them build their country, then we will have a future of peace and prosperity. <br /><br />It will not happen if we sell out our own national security interests. It will not happen if we are only siding with the ruling elite in China. We want to share a world with the people of China. We are on their side. <br /><br />Let me say this. That includes those soldiers in the People's Liberation Army. The people in the People's Liberation Army come from the population of China. They and those other forces at work in China should rise up and join with all the other people in the world, especially the American people, who believe in justice and truth; and we will wipe away those people at the negotiating table today that represent both sides of this negotiation, and we will sit face-to-face with all the people in the world who love justice and freedom and democracy, just as our forefathers thought was America's rightful role, and we will build a better world that way. <br /><br />We will not do it through a World Trade Organization. We will do it by respecting our own rights and respecting the rights of every other country and every other people on this planet. <br /><br />I hope that tonight the American people have heard these words. The course is not unalterable. This is a new administration. And in this new administration, I would hope that we reverse these horrible mistakes that have compromised our national security and undermined the cause of liberty and justice. <br /><br />I look forward to working with this administration to doing what is right for our country and right for the cause of peace and freedom. </b></span><br />

Talking about how it would be all sunshine and rainbows for women if she wins. A lot of women and young girls in her television ads. One of her latest ads has nothing but young girls in it. She keeps saying Trump’s comments in the past. Would somehow have a negative effect on the future of women and young girls. I would disagree.<br />
<br />
If Bill and Hillary Clinton got back into the White House. It would have a negative effect on the future of women and young girls. I negative effect that would last for many years. The respect that women have for themselves is important. The respect that men have for the women that are in a relationship is important. Bill and Hillary Clinton are bad examples of both. Domestic violence among teenage relationships is a big problem. A big problem that is not talked about enough. The CDC defines dating violence in many different was. It can be physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional violence within a dating relationship, including stalking. The Women Helping Women website says.<br />
<br />
“ 1/3 of high school students have been or will be involved in an abusive relationship . Only 33% of teens who were in abusive relationships told anyone. 6 out of 10 rapes of young women occur in their own home or a friend or relative’s home, not in a dark alley. Nearly 1/4 of girls who have been in a relationship reported going further sexually than they wanted as a result of pressure. Dating Violence is the leading cause of injury to women. 58% of rape survivors report being raped between ages of 12–24. Approximately 68 % of young women know their rapist either as a boyfriend, friend or casual acquaintance. 50% of reported date rapes occur among teenagers. Females 16–24 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of partner violence. About 40% of teenage girls ages 14–17 say they know someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend. ”<br />
<br />
Some of the things above have to do with respect. The respect that women have for themselves . The respect woman think they deserve from the person they are in a relationship with. The respect that men have for the women that are in a relationship with. Hillary Clinton having a husband. Who has has multiple affairs over many years. Shows she does not demand respect form the person she is in a relationship with. Bill Clinton back in the White House. Tells young men that not having respect for the person you are in a relationship with is ok. That it’s not a big deal. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s actions. Their actions over and over again. Will have much more of a negative impact on the future of women. Much more that a few comments that Trump might have made.<br />

Mary Vallis, National Post<br />
Published: Friday, January 05, 2007<br />
<br />
An American couple have had doctors stunt their disabled nine-year-old daughter's growth in the hopes of keeping her small enough to enable them to care for her.<br />
<br />
Ashley has been diagnosed with static encephalopathy, or severe brain damage. She has the mental age of a three- to six-month old. She cannot speak, relies on a feeding tube for nourishment and cannot move on her own.<br />
<br />
Yet the girl is an integral member of her family, who live in Washington state: Her parents say she loves Andrea Bocelli's booming voice -- they joke the singer is her boyfriend. Her parents and grandparents do everything for her and call her their "pillow angel" because she stays wherever they put her, usually on a pillow.<br />
<br />
When Ashley started showing signs of puberty early at age six, her parents feared she would quickly grow too big for them to lift. Doctors at Children's Hospital in Seattle stunted her growth with high doses of estrogen; she finished the regimen a few weeks ago. They also removed her uterus, appendix and breast buds.<br />
<br />
The girl is now 4-foot-5, weighs 65 pounds and is unlikely to get any bigger. Her family says the treatment limited her height by about 20%, or 13 inches.<br />
<br />
The doctors call it growth attenuation therapy. Her parents, who have not disclosed their name, call it the "Ashley treatment."<br />
<br />
The controversial case, believed to be the only one of its kind, is prompting a debate over the rights of the disabled and their caregivers. Ashley's doctors published a report on the case in a medical journal in October, prompting comparisons with the Terry Schiavo case in Florida. Critics argue Ashley's treatment made life easier for her family, but does not benefit the girl herself.<br />
<br />
"I think we would work to treat the conditions without stripping [disabled people] of what little humanity they still have. This brings me back to when we just lobotomized them," one reader from Florida wrote on an online message board.<br />
<br />
"I can understand a hysterectomy for her health, but more than that practically turns a human being into a doll."<br />
<br />
This week, Ashley's parents launched a blog explaining their decision. The site also features supportive comments from other families caring for disabled children and snapshots of Ashley, blue-eyed and smiling wide.<br />
<br />
The treatment, they say, was not a matter of convenience, but rather an attempt to help their daughter.<br />
<br />
"Faced with Ashley's medical reality, as her deeply loving parents, we worked with her doctors to do all we could to provide Ashley with the best possible quality of life," they write.<br />
<br />
By keeping her small, they say, they can continue to push Ashley around the house in her customized stroller and bathe her in a standard-size bathtub. And it takes only one person to lift her, making it easier for her to be moved into the backyard and to social gatherings, instead of "lying down in her bed and staring at TV (or the ceiling) all day long."<br />
<br />
The removal of her breast buds and uterus was also practical. The procedures eliminate any risk of breast cancer and menstrual cramps and make her wheelchair more comfortable (it has a chest strap). They also make it less likely Ashley would be sexually abused by a future caregiver, the parents add.<br />
<br />
"Some question how God might view this treatment. The God we know wants Ashley to<br />
<br />
have a good quality of life and wants her parents to be diligent about using every resource at their disposal (including the brains that He endowed them with) to maximize her quality of life," they write.<br />
<br />
Some medical ethicists say the medical regimen is "probably inherently wrong."<br />
<br />
"May we redesign disabled people to make them easier to care for?" asked Dr. Margaret Somerville, founder of McGill University's Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law. She said people should examine their intuitive reaction to the case and question whether it is ethically justified to override that feeling.<br />
<br />
"We've got to start from the basic presumption in favour of the natural. The 'natural' is that<br />
<br />
she gets all opportunities to develop that anybody else would have," she explained.<br />
<br />
"If we're going to inhibit that natural development, we've got to have very strong justification for doing that. Therefore, the question is: Is making her easier to carry a sufficient justification for that very invasive surgical intervention?"<br />
<br />
It is also important to ask whether there are alternatives that would have met the same goals, Dr. Somerville added.<br />
<br />
"The alternative is not to change her, but to change the circumstances in which she and her parents find themselves, and to give them human support that will enable the same things to be achieved."<br />
<br />
Indeed, an editorial that ran alongside the report in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine warned that the strategy proposed by Ashley's doctors is "highly speculative" and "ill advised."<br />
<br />
Dr. Jeffrey Brosco, a Miami pediatrician and co-author of the editorial, asked whether it is "an attempt at a medical fix to what's really a social and political problem" -- parents like Ashley's who do not have enough access to social support and home care.<br />
<br />
Ashley's doctors disagree. They say the potential side effects are minimal and the treatment directly benefits their young patient, regardless of whether she is cared for at home, in an institution or in foster care.<br />
<br />
"In reality, Ashley being smaller means that she will be moved more, that she will be held more, that she will be bathed more. All of these things are inherently good for Ashley herself," Dr. Daniel Gunther, the pediatric endocrinologist who oversaw her treatment, said in an interview. The hospital's ethics committee approved the treatment.<br />
<br />
"I understand how people have an initial visceral reaction to this that is negative," Dr. Gunther conceded. "But if people step back and really start thinking about what is best for this child and what is in her best interests, I think many people will come to the conclusion that this is a relatively low-risk procedure with a great deal of benefit for the child."<br />
<br />
He added the debate has reminded him of a quote from Isaac Asimov: "Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right."</blockquote>

She is a victim of female genital mutilation. She is asking Obama to order the department of health and human services to carry out a new study on female genital mutilation in America. Some American girls are being taken overseas to be cut, some are cut here in America. United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon has endorsed Dukureh’s campaign.<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
“There is no way you should be born in America and still be worried about female genital mutilation,” said Dukureh. “America is the land of the free. In this country girls are protected. But FGM is not something that is happening in a far away place, it is happening here to American girls. They may come from immigrant communities, that doesn’t make it acceptable.”<br />

<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a> I recently had the extreme pleasure of discovering some great new music from Lara James. Lara has a brand new album entitled " Why Wouldn't I " . It contains 5 songs. Four new original songs written by Lara James. And one cover of the Garth Brooks song “The Thunder Rolls” . Why Wouldn't I , is a beautiful uplifting and inspiring song. When I first heard the song " Why Wouldn't I " I knew she was pretty good. But when I heard her sing, Love Worth Fighting For, I was completely blown away. The combination of great song lyrics and her beautiful voice. Equal one incredible and unforgettable song. Love Worth Fighting For, is a song people should most definitely check out. Also if you or someone you know is planning a wedding. It would make a great wedding song.I was surprised at how good a singer and songwriter she is.You would expect someone so talented to have many years of professional experience. To have a great voice is one thing. But to be a great singer and songwriter is very special. Lara James had a passion for music at a very young age. However, she decided not to pursue a career in music. Fortunately for us, she decided she could no longer ignore her passion for music.<br />
<br />
Is she a jazz singer, country or adult contemporary. Lara James is someone that does it all. You can find her music on Google Play and iTunes. She lives in Spokane, Washington with her husband and two adorable children.<br />

First it was driverless cars. Next Google buys the world's top robotics company Boston Dynamics. And now Google buys a company that makes drones. Google wants to build Skynet. The talk about internet service to remote places is just a cover story. There is no money to be made in internet service to some remote place in Africa. Google wants to build Skynet and take over the world. The U.S. government has no real laws on the use of drones by companies like Google.<br />
<br />
Google is a government military and non-military contractor. Google itself does a lot of business with the government. Both military and non-military. Google also owns Boston Dynamics. Boston Dynamics build robots for the military and law enforcement. It is only logical to believe that Google will try to find ways to use the Titan Aerospace drones for military and law enforcement.<br />

99.9 % of the time the Artist of the month is a singer. In October 2011 the Artist of the month was the poet Tanya Davis. We call it Artist Of The Month not singer or entertainer of the month. Because sometimes it might be a painter, photographer, dancer, musician, actor. comedian, writer , etc . The Artist Of The Month for August 2012 is the actress Teal Sherer.<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
Teal Sherer is a very beautiful and talented actor. She is also producer. The first time I saw Teal was in the awesome Elf Sabers video she did last year. I just found out about her show on YouTube called My Gimpy Life. On YouTube they show a lot of ads for the YouTube channel WIGS. All the shows on WIGS suck. My Gimpy Life and is much better than any of the shows on WIGS. You should check the show out. I love Teal's show it is very funny. But I have to warn you it does have a lot of Profanity.<br />
<br />
<br />
At the age of 14, Teal was in a car accident. She broke her back and became a paraplegic. She is an advocate for people with disabilities. In 2011 Teal received the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Acting Award. <br />

Beautiful might be the best and only way to describe the movie called October Baby. It has been many years since I have been so touched by a movie. The last time a movie moved me like October Baby did was Children of a Lesser God. Marlee Matlin's performance in that movie is something that I will never forget. After all these years it still touches my heart every time I think about it. I feel the same way and maybe even more about October Baby. Everyone in the cast was great. Just the best and most awesome group of actors that I have ever seen. Even the ones that had small parts did a great job. I have nothing but love for them all. Jennifer Price was great as the adoptive mother. Rachel Hendrix was great as Hannah. Jasmine Guy and Shari Rigby gave two performances that will blow you away. Most people know Jasmine Guy from the TV show A Different World and Dead Like Me. Chris Sligh did a great job giving some humor to a very serious movie. Most people know Chris Sligh from American Idol. John Schneider has been in many movies and tv shows. He is best known for The Dukes of Hazzard and Smallville. The writers of the movie did exceptional work. Oscar nomination worthy work on this movie. They took a storyline that was not new. An old storyline that we have seen many times before in other movies. Someone finds out they are adopted. Then they go on a search for their birth parents. We have seen and read this storyline hundreds of times before. They took this storyline and made a masterpiece. One of the most heartwarming movies ever made. October Baby was inspired by a true story, the story of Gianna Jessen. However 80% of October Baby could be the story of any person that was adopted.<br />
<br />
Is October Baby good enough for some Oscar nominations? Yes, it is that good. However that is zero chance of that happening. Two reasons why. First it's hard some people like New York Times critic Jeannette Catsoulis to give an objective opinion of the movie. The second reason is that not enough people will see this movie. It did pretty good last weekend. It might keep doing about the same. But I don't think it well every do great. Not a lot of people will go see it. The main problem is that most people have never heard about this movie. Friends, co-workers, no one I know has heard about October Baby. I don't know what the advertising budget is for October Baby but I bet it's not large. Also the kinds of people going to see this movie are been very limited. Mostly these people are evangelical Christians and strong prolife supporters. That's too bad because this movie can and does appeal to a much larger audience.<br />
<br />
Prolife and prochoice groups have both been freaking out over October Baby. Abortion is a very controversial subject. People on both sides get crazy at times. October Baby is not a controversial movie. Even thou some people try to make it one. Everyone is trying to make this into the big abortion movie. For me the bond between adoptive parents and their kids is a large part of the movie. There is also a nice love story in the movie. <br />
<br />
The movie is being marketed heavily as a faith based or Christina film. The reason is that it promotes a certain set of moral values. I believe the moral values in October Baby exists in all religions. Not just the Christian religion. So go and see October Baby. If you are a Jew, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Wiccan, Atheist, or Buddhist go and see October Baby. Even if you are gay, straight, bi or Thai you should see October Baby.<br />

<br />
Trust me on this one. You have to go and see John Carter. Don't wait for the DVD or for it to be on cable. If you have kids take the whole family to see it. John Carter is one of the best movies I have seen in the last 5 or 10 years. I loved everything about this movie. John Carter is a great sci-fi movie, great action movie and great love story. There have been few made reviews of the movie. Philip French and Peter Bradshaw said the movie was terrible. I am here to tell you they are 100% wrong. In fact I will put my reputation on the line in support of John Carter. I will personally guarantee that if you see this movie you will love it. I just don't understand how anyone could give this movie a bad review. The story line and the acting were great. John Carter is a movie that everyone can enjoy watching. Adults , young people, older people, a movie for everyone. Men , women, kids, all groups of people. This is not just for the sci-fi fans. I know married people that have completely different tastes in movies. Sci-fi, action, love story, mystery, western, this movie has something for everyone. I lot of people have been comparing John Carter to the Avatar movie. I think John Carter is better than Avatar. Also a very family friendly movie. It's rated PG-13 and it's a very weak PG-13. Not any love scenes that will make you feel weird watching with your kids. Also not a lot of profanity or offensive language in the movie. You can feel safe taking the whole family to see John Cater. <br />
<br />
Princess Dejah Thoris vs Princess Leia <br />
<br />
Taylor Kitsch was perfect for the role of John Carter. He is a good actor and did a great job in the movie. I do not want take away anything that he did and gave to the movie. However I have to say John Carter might end up being remembered as Lynn Collins's movie. She does a great job as Princess Dejah Thoris of Mars. It's easy to see how John Carter or anyone would fall in love with her. I am not just saying this because she is super hot. Megan Fox is hot but her acting sucks. Lynn Collins is a great actress. Princess Dejah Thoris as earned a place in sci-fi history next to Princess Leia. <br />
<br />
A perfect movie? In the movies that I like and even love. I always think about something I might change. I might say I don't like this one scene in the movie. Maybe it was a good movie but the ending could have been better. Maybe I say this actor was good in the movie but maybe this other guy would have been better. Sometimes I say it was a good movie but too long. I would not change a single thing about John Carter. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to thank this blog for the chance to be a guest blogger! I regularly blog over at <a href="http://gotdownsyndrome.blogspot.com/">Got Down Syndrome </a>and was invited over here to do a guest blog post.<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My wonderful little brother is 6 ½ years old and he happens to have Down Syndrome (DS). Because of him, I keep up to date with the latest happenings in everything that involves DS.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One recent development is a new, non-invasive prenatal test for detecting Down Syndrome. This test developed by Sequenom is called <a href="http://sequenom.investorroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=310">MaterniT21</a>. This test is a blood test (blood test for the mother) which is used to detect the baby’s DNA in the mother’s blood. The accuracy of this new test is 98.6%-99.1%. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have no problem with a company developing a prenatal test for Down syndrome, if the <i>sole purpose</i> is to better the lives of the unborn child with Down Syndrome. But, unfortunately, research shows that 92% of women who are given a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome choose to abort their baby with DS. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is largely due to the fact that most professionals – obstetricians, gynecologists, geneticists, counselors, etc – do not give accurate information about Down Syndrome. As with our family, when we were told that my brother had Down Syndrome (after he was born), we were given very outdated information about DS. And we were told all these things that he would not do or would do at a very late time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>That wasn’t the truth. That wasn’t reality. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>So why do most professionals do this?</i> There is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet, in families, from Down Syndrome associations, etc that shows what people with Down Syndrome can do. And what families can do to help their children with Down Syndrome. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s very sad to me that so many people would choose abortion when they find out their child has Down Syndrome, instead of trying to find out what they could do to help their child. Thankfully there are some families who choose to keep their baby with Down Syndrome when they are given the prenatal diagnosis, but they are the exception. And that’s not the way it should be. It should be the norm for people to keep their babies with Down Syndrome.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is so much you can do to help children with Down Syndrome. When we were given such a grim, dark diagnosis, we decided to set out and find out all we could to help my brother. It took a lot of time and research, but our research has paid off. God has blessed my brother tremendously and he is doing very well. He exceeded and completely bypassed all the dark predictions we were told when he was born. One thing we were able to find out about was <a href="http://gotdownsyndrome.blogspot.com/search/label/Nutrivene">targeted nutritional intervention for Down Syndrome</a>. That helped my brother tremendously and it <i>changed his life</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because of this passion of wanting to see less babies with Down Syndrome aborted and more families be given accurate information, we put together a 600 page book compiled with information from all sorts of doctors, therapists, professionals, families, etc to show what you can do. The book is rightly named, Down Syndrome: What You CAN Do. You can view a 15 page preview, as well as order the book at <a href="http://stores.lulu.com/gotdownsyndrome">http://stores.lulu.com/gotdownsyndrome</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to thank this blog for the chance to share some of our story, in the hopes that more awareness about Down Syndrome will be raised. After all, October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month!</div>

<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rnMfCNzlJuo?rel=0" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
The girl in the video above is Teagan Laurel Alexander. Teagan is smart, strong and brave. And I salute her. I had never heard of SlutWalk before I saw this video. I guess I have been living under a rock or something. SlutWalk is this big international thing that takes place in cities around the world. In Canada ,across America , in London and in India.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
The SlutWalk protests are to say that the kinds of cloths they women wear, are not the cause or justification for rape. But don't we know this already? Unless you are an idiot , scumbag or just evil you already know this. This is just fact and not a big debate issue . <br />
<br />
I have nothing but love and support for Teagan and others taking part in the SlutWalk protests. But I am not sure what you are fighting for. The right to wear whatever you want to wear? You already have that right. The right to not live in fear? If you do not want to live in fear you have to put fear into the rapist. And I do not think SlutWalk is going to do that.<br />
<br />
In every war there is a turning point. A point where people can look back and say, this was it, this is where things started to change. Maybe I am wrong about this. But 20 years from now, I do not think people will look back and say SlutWalk was a big turning point.<br />
<br />
Please don't hate me. I just don't think SlutWalk will have a permanent long lasting impact. Do you know what does have a permanent long lasting impact? Death, there is nothing more permanent than death. These SlutWalk protests like hundreds of other protests will come and go. And will be forgotten about a few months later. But the fact that if you rape someone you might be killed. People will not forget that. <br />
<br />
I think in America we have more people in prison than any other nation. The fact is that a lot of people don't care about going to jail. Some spend their whole life in and out of prison. Many times when someone gets raped or a child gets molested. It turns out that the person has done this before. <br />
<br />
It should be mandatory life in prison or the death penalty for rapists and child molesters.<br />
<br />
In the military , you can get the death penalty for rape. But no one in the military has been given the death penalty for rape in over 40 years I think. Six states used to have the death penalty for the rape of a child. But in 2008 in a 5-4 Ruling the Supreme Court said this was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court also said some other stuff that was total BS.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
After a review of the "history of the death penalty for this and other non homicide crimes, current state statutes and new enactments ... we conclude there is a national consensus against capital punishment for the crime of child rape," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote.</blockquote>
<br />
I think the Supreme Court got this one wrong. I think most people would support an amendment to the constitution, to give the death penalty for rape.<br />

This is the best Sarah Palin fan video I have seen so far. I think the video was made by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/12104521034923486353">Katie DiFrancesco </a><br />
<a href="http://teamsarah.ning.com/profile/KatieDiFrancesco"><br />Katie Difrancesco's profile on Team Sarah</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I just saw this video today but it was made back in Nov. Defying Gravity is the perfect song for Sarah Palin. I used a different version of the song in my article called<a href="http://www.mi7.co/2011/05/sarah-palin-is-genius.html"> Sarah Palin is a Genius</a>.<br />
