f-ing deal with it! Hillary tried.

Female infanticide

Female infanticide is the deliberate killing of girl babies.

It is also described as gender-selective killing or "gendercide". (Similar words like 'gynocide' and 'femicide' are used to describe the killing of females of any age.)

Female infanticide is more common than male infanticide, and in some countries, particularly India and China, is likely to have serious consequences on the balance of the sexes in the population.

The reasons behind it are almost always cultural, rather than directly religious.

The causes:
Anti-female bias

Societies that practise female infanticide always show many other signs of bias against females.

Women are perceived as subservient because of their role as carers and homemakers, whilst men predominantly ensure the family's social and economic stability.

trump scared shitless, $80 mill from Iran for his head

I believe that trump was so afraid after the price was put on his head by Iran ... his properties ... that he had such a closed off speech today, safely right outside his Oval Office. He couldn't even stand at the podium by himself or walk down the hallway that is traditional for a Pres. to do, had to be surrounded by all of his flunkies to prop him up. Just this threat on his properties will cost him dearly because folks will avoid staying or living in one of them. He is pissing himself, snorting, gasping for air like a animal caught in a snare. I predict no more trump rallies for quite some time ... he is too scared to be in public. Paranoia setting in big time. No one wants anyone assassinated, especially any American President. But the parinoia has taken over and trump will be less available to the press and American people.

Why don't Dem's trumpet this Democratic Party achievement!!!!!

Hell yes we pushed back hard on the corporate thevies and WON big money for the average American. So, let us point out what we have done, not only what we will do to fight against the trump and GOP's undoing!


Within days of being sworn in, President Donald Trump has already pledged to cut business regulations by 75%. One way he is likely to fulfill that promise, at least in part, is by defanging a legacy of the 2008 financial crisis: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

That could mean the functional end to the consumer watchdog, which has been responsible for returning roughly $11.8 billion to some 29 million consumers since its inception in 2011, according to data from the bureau. That’s an average of $407 returned to each affected consumer, affecting roughly 9% of the U.S. population (assuming no single consumer was a victim in more than one case).

The agency was conceived by a group of consumer advocates including Elizabeth Warren (then a Harvard Law School professor and congressional advisor, and now a senator from Massachusetts), partly in response to reports of deceptive mortgage lending practices that helped precipitate the housing crash. Designed to safeguard consumers in their dealings with the financial-services industry, the CFPB has made moves to curb abuses in the payday, student, and auto lending industries. The agency has also focused on predatory lending practices that target low-income consumers that can ill afford their loans.

Just chuck it, it's only taxpayer dollars

The final phase of the evacuation was code-named Operation Frequent Wind. The American Embassy had previously distributed a booklet to its citizens, called "Standard Instruction and Advice to Civilians in an Emergency" (SAFE). This included a map of Saigon showing areas where they would be picked up when the signal was given. The signal, to be broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, was ""The temperature in Saigon is 105 degrees and rising," followed by the playing of "White Christmas."

Frequent Wind was carried out on April 29 and 30. Such was the speed of the evacuation and the number of people involved that the ships became overwhelmed with people and the helicopters that had brought them. Orders were given to push surplus helicopters over the sides of the ships to make room for more. Some pilots were told to drop off their passengers, then ditch their machines in the sea, bailing out at the last moment to be picked up by waiting rescue boats.

Over 7,000 people were evacuated in Operation Frequent Wind.

2020, not so much about our nominee but will be about our VP

If Democratic Party Presidential nominee does not choose an African American as our VP, preferably an African American woman! .... then we will never win. Plenty of amazing folks to consider. My vote would be, Stacey Abrams. Oh, I know you know that she did not consult me, LOL. BTW she is doing the hard ground work of trying to fight for Voter's Rights in Georgia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_Abrams

Stacey Yvonne Abrams (born December 9, 1973) is an American politician, lawyer, and author who served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 2007 to 2017, and served as minority leader from 2011 to 2017.[1] A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, but lost to Brian Kemp without conceding the election. Abrams was the first African-American female major-party gubernatorial nominee of the United States.[2] In February 2019, she became the first African-American woman to deliver a response to the State of the Union address.

George Harrison was almost killed in his own home more than 20 years ago, today

This was posted in 2014, therefore, the event happened more then 20 years ago.

“They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did," George Harrison said in the Beatles' 1995 Anthology documentary. "And then blamed it on us.” But even he could never suspect that, four years later, those words would ring true again when, on Dec. 30, 1999, a mad man attacked Harrison in his own house, nearly killing him.

At approximately 3:30AM, Michael Abram, a 33-year old native of Liverpool, avoided security by scaling the fence of Harrison's Friar Park estate near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire and entered the mansion by throwing a statue through a window, which woke up the sleeping Harrisons.

George confronted Abram, who was screaming at the spiritual Beatle with a knife in his hand. The 56-year-old Harrison ran at Abram to try to tackle and disarm him. The attempt was unsuccessful, and George was stabbed repeatedly in the chest.
