Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Transgender woman wins legal battle to marry
5/13/13

One small step down the aisle could be a giant leap for Hong Kong’s sexual minorities.

She’s known only as W. Not many specifics are known about the Hong Kong woman, but this morning, her story made headlines—and history.  Now in her thirties, W was born a man but underwent surgery in 2008 to become a woman. Today, Hong Kong’s top court granted her the right to marry her boyfriend.

While the ruling falls short of allowing same-sex marriage, W is, of course, pleased with the groundbreaking legal win.

"I'm very glad that I can finally get married to my beloved boyfriend in Hong Kong,” she told reporters on a conference call.

In mainland China and in many other places in the Asia-Pacific region, same-sex marriage is illegal, but the law does allow transgender people to marry based on their new gender. China made the law official in 2003, and Hong Kong’s decision now follows suit. A transgender person born a male can marry a man, and a transgender person born a female can marry a woman.

News outlets have called the ruling a surprising “watershed” moment for Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal.

W says she hopes the decision will help change society’s view of sexual minorities. In a statement read by W’s lawyer, Michael Vidler, she added that she’s been living “as a woman and been treated as a woman in all respects except as regards my right to marriage. This decision rights that wrong.”

The Court’s judges pointed out “it appears in the Asia-Pacific region, such marriages are permitted.” In addition to mainland China, transgender marriage is also legal in Singapore, India, South Korea and Japan, to name a few. Same-sex marriage is still a rarity in this part of the world, however.

As W reaches her lifetime milestone, Hong Kong’s decision is also a milestone in the fight for gender equality.
