All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
A passenger plane bound for Djibouti was forced to make an emergency landing today, minutes after taking off from Mogadishu, due to a hole opening up in the plane after an apparent explosion, according to aviation experts.
On its Facebook page, Daallo Airlines, the national airline of Somalia, said in a statement that an Airbus 321 had "experienced an incident shortly after takeoff" from the airport in Mogadishu, Somalia.
"The aircraft landed safely and all our passengers were evacuated safely," the statement said. "A thorough investigation is being conducted by Somalia Civil Aviation Authority."
The hole in the plane's fuselage reached from the ceiling to the floor, according to photos of the damage. The aircraft was carrying 74 passengers and crew, authorities said. A Somali aviation official said that two passengers had been slightly injured in the incident, according to the Associated Press.
The official, however, wouldn't provide any other details regarding injuries and did not confirm reports that an explosion may have triggered the fire.
Passengers aboard the Airbus 321 said they heard a loud bang and then saw smoke. As the cabin depressurized, oxygen masks deployed. Some of the 74 passengers were forced to move to the back of the jetliner as the plane descended, according to the AP.
"I don't know if it was a bomb or an electric shock -- but we heard a bang inside the plane," said passenger Mohamed Ali, according to the AP.
"The thing that's most interesting to me is that if you look at the outside of the airplane, some force from within the airplane pushed the sides of the aircraft open. You can see how it's peeled back and you can actually see the streaking from soot down the back side, which would suggest quite definitively that this was a bomb of some kind, probably something about a hand-grenade size that would have made this hole in the side of the airplane," said ABC News aviation consultant ret. Col. Steve Ganyard.

When I'm in one of those moods, one of those beat the snot out of the next person who looks at me wrong moods, there are precious few bands/pieces of music that can instantly (nearly) change my mood and rattle my thick head out of it.
The Allman Brothers are NOT one of those bands.
George Harrison is.
Recent political shenanigans have left me in such a mood.
Ted, don’t bother apologizing, seriously.
Do we have a pattern here?
Cruz
misleads house republicans on govt shutdown vote, euchring them along
with the idea that he had the votes in the Senate to go along, then
hangs them out to dry.
Next Cruz sends a letter to Iowans threatening to expose IF they caucused and WHO they voted for. I don't think this is possible- and then last night WHILE VOTING-…
THIS:
and THIS:
Resulted in this:
Carson
is now insistent the difference in their polling and his actual finish
is not only the reason this occurred but take a look at Cruz’s winning
margin over Trump.
Today…oh, he APOLOGIZES
Meanwhile Rubio is CERTAINLY going to be the inheritor of all Rovian/Sunnunu/C pundit glory.
And Trump comes across with one of the more hideous tweets about voters in quite a while.
Good to insult the voters.
Everyone has to step up their game WITHOUT lies. Cruz has almost LOST any confidence I have in the way he operates.
Trump is sulkingly insulting.
Rubio
is going to Free Trade us into being a national version of Flint while

In 1942, the U.S. Supreme Court established the doctrine by a 9–0 decision in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire. It held that "insulting or 'fighting words,' those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" are among the "well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech the prevention and punishment of [which] … have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem."
Chaplinsky, a Jehovah's Witness, had purportedly told a New Hampshire town marshal who was attempting to prevent him from preaching that he was "a God-damned racketeer" and "a damned fascist" and was arrested. The court upheld the arrest and wrote in its decision that
There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or "fighting words" those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.
— Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 1942
Post-Chaplinsky
The court has continued to uphold the doctrine but also steadily narrowed the grounds on which fighting words are held to apply. InStreet v. New York(1969),[3]the court overturned a statute prohibitingflag-burningand verbally abusing the flag, holding that mereoffensivenessdoes not qualify as "fighting words".
In similar manner, inCohen v. California(1971), Cohen's wearing a jacket that said "fuck the draft" did not constitute uttering fighting words since there had been no "personally abusive epithets"; the Court held the phrase to be protected speech. In later decisions—Gooding v. Wilson(1972) andLewis v. New Orleans(1974)—the Court invalidated convictions of individuals who cursed police officers, finding that the ordinances in question were unconstitutionallyoverbroad.
In R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul (1992), the Court overturned a statute prohibiting speech or symbolic expression that "arouses anger, alarm or resentment in others on the basis of race, color, creed, religion or gender" on the grounds that, even if the specific statute was limited to fighting words, it was unconstitutionally content-based and viewpoint-based because of the limitation to race-/religion-/sex-based fighting words. The Court, however, made it repeatedly clear that the City could have pursued "any number" of other avenues, and reaffirmed the notion that "fighting words" could be properly regulated by municipal or state governments.
In Snyder v. Phelps (2011), dissenting Justice Samuel Alito likened the protests of the Westboro Baptist Church members to fighting words and of a personal character, and thus not protected speech. The majority disagreed and stated that the protester's speech was not personal but public, and that local laws which can shield funeral attendees from protesters are adequate for protecting those in times of emotional distress.
It sounds pretty tough to restrict speech.
As it should be.
We may be limited to infitration and post action arrests, and .suits
Are there too many Jews in France? Are they too rich and is the media
dominated by them? These are some of the opinions sought by a Ipsos
poll on racism in France. Published on Sunday in the French weekly Le
Journal Du Dimanche, the survey results have caused a real stir.
The survey is the completion of an 18-month study on French attitudes to racism, religion, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
Fully 60 percent believe that Jews bear at least some responsibility for recent rises in anti-Semitism.
You loudmouth, stiff necked JUICE need to learn your place and STFU in our nation (?). File Under : HOW AMERICA WAS BORN
If you wonder how Europe is doing compared to the past….
To
the question “Do you think a racist reaction can be justified”, 30
percent said yes, some 91 percent of people said that Jews in France
“are very insular” and 56 percent that they “have a lot of power” and
are richer than average.
The study also suggests more than 40% feel that Jews are “a little too present in the media.”
PS,
the French expelled all Jews from France by edict FOUR TIMES ALREADY in
their history. Apparently they might be hoping for self expulsion for
the fifth.
Pas de probleme, eh?
Karl Rove and the rest of the GOP establishment are clapping like seals this morning because Marco Rubio scored in the top-three tier of the Iowa Caucuses. Marco Rubio is the establishment GOP's anointed one. That's been true since at least October 2015.
No singling out of any RELIGIOUS group, on THAT basis is, I believe, permissable in the USA, per the Constitution
Outside the USA, it certainly IS permissable, but disgusting especially since the very same result could have been obtained by listing nations of origin, and therefore Trump PURPOSEFULLY decided to say MUSLIMS.
WHY?
Why did he choose to say muslims?
In fact why not say he favored all legal immigration, was 100% set against allowing any ILLEGAL immigration at all, and pursuant to that goal had a list of temporarily banned nations which make common sense to all americans?
Further, banning muslims, even for a week is an impractical and unworkable solution.
"Hi, I'm an assyrian christian, my family are all dead and I'm from Al Hind-tit, Iraq where the town hall is rubble and I'm seeking asylum in the USA. Here's my passport" (PS manufactured and 'aged' in Raqqa)
Why not temporarily stop ALL immigration until we 'figure out what the hell is going on'?
Who are you going to call?
You happy with the State dept overseeing that?
It's not that Trump HATES muslims, it's that he is willing to single out ANY RELIGIOUS group on the basis of their unifying quality.
Obama Plans $4 Billion Spending Spree on ‘Tech Diversity’
As
the U.S. national debt spirals ever closer to World War Two levels,
President Obama has found yet another way to spend money. The
administration has announced a $4 billion scheme to make sure computer
science students have the right gender and skin colour to satisfy
progressives.
The new initiative was announced by the president in
his Saturday address. Entitled “Computer Science For All,” it will
allocate $4 billion from the upcoming budget to the states and $100
million to districts over the course of three years.
In order to
receive the funds, states will have to submit their plans to widen
access to computer science in schools. In other words, they’ll have to
explain how they’re going to persuade more women and minorities to take
the courses. No doubt many budding writers, doctors and lawyers will be
pressured into computer science courses by states eager to snap up the
diversity dollars.
I’m trying to imagine what would
happen had Joe Lieberman become president and then announced he wanted
to spend $4bn to ENFORCE that more Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs, etc were in
computer science by compelling states to enforce by any means more are
enrolled in federally stamped programs.
90% of Americans who happened to be Jewish would recognize the underlying thought and vomit.
The
govt of the USA has no business doing anything other than ensuring
students who have achieved equal grades and abilities have an equal
opportunity to enter schools.
MAKE SCHOLARSHIPS MORE AVAILABLE to the most LOCAL of agencies.
FIGURE OUT how to improve the quality of high school output (WITHOUT SCHOOL UNIONS INVOLVED).
Make high schools in urban environment into ACTUAL SAFE SPACES, and get RID of those not interested in education.
A good ground game and the reassuring value profile does the trick in
a state where, according to a Fox entrance poll, 62% of Republican
caucus goers described themselves as evangelical Christians.
HUGE.
49%
dissatisfied but not angry, 42% angry. WHOA. That means about one third
of all Iowans are really upset. If a like number of independents are
upset, we are going to have an R president.
Rubio may have
been the big winner. No way I expected to see that number. He should be
speaking now directly to Christie, Carson and Bush supporters
tactically, but given is TPP/TAA vote, I cannot vote for the guy or work
to support him. If Rubio would recant that vote and describe why he did
recant, then MAYBE, but IMHO, it’s THAT ONE FACTOR (and his gang of 8
compromise) that will find the Corporate R’s lining up with votes and
money behind him now.
MOST interesting will be to see Trump’s
reaction. He needs to slam away on the economy now (trade), and avoid
the other immigration subject, instead talking about ALL the foreign
challenges we face.
NH will not have 2/3 of its R voters self describing as evangelicals.
And
Hillary, in 1968, Eugene McCarthy drove LBJ out of the race with a 36%
showing in NH. The idea that you ‘won’ Iowa is a farce.
Bernie,
for god’s sake, dump the statement that terrorism is due to climate
change. It makes you sound like a fool, and while you believe the govt
should enforce charity (HIGH TAXES??) nd I get where that comes from,
you are not a fool. JUST WRONG.
Cruz 8
Trump 7
Rubio 7
For the FIRST BALLOT ONLY
Not a big win for anyone except Rubio who, a week ago would have been looking at 2-3 delegates.
Maybe Trump DID become the loser over the debate.
The Guardian has announced it will close comments underneath articles on race, immigration, and Islam. The reason, according to the ultra-progressive newspaper, is that such topics attract an “unacceptable level of toxic commentary.”
“The overwhelming majority of these comments tend towards racism, abuse of vulnerable subjects, author abuse and trolling” said Guardian executive editor Mary Hamilton. “The resulting conversations below the line bring very little value but cause consternation and concern among both our readers and our journalists.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
