March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. 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.”

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."

Republican Group Meets to Press Gay Rights

10/1/14

Big-name Republican donors and lawmakers are quietly gathering in Washington on Wednesday night for a first-of-its-kind conference dedicated to advancing gay rights, in a sign of how far and fast some within the party are evolving on the once divisive cause.

The conference, modeled after the kind of exclusive, polished and influential meetings held by the Koch brothers, is intended to build a permanent political infrastructure that can insulate nervous Republicans from conservative backlash on issues like same-sex marriage. It is being hosted by the American Unity Fund, a two-year-old group founded by wealthy Republican donors.

The two-day meeting will draw high-powered party figures like Theodore B. Olson, the solicitor general during the administration of George W. Bush, and Ken Mehlman, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee; donors like Paul Singer, the billionaire chairman of the conservative Manhattan Institute, and Jon Kislak, a Miami businessman; and elected officials like Senator Mark S. Kirk, an Illinois Republican, and State Senator Dawson Hodgson, the Republican candidate for attorney general in Rhode Island. About 100 people, most of them donors, are expected to attend, said Jeff Cook-McCormac, a senior adviser to the American Unity Fund.

He called the meeting “a demonstration of how developed the center-right strategy has become to win freedom to marry for L.G.B.T. Americans.”

This is no longer a few donors,” Mr. Cook-McCormac said. “This is a network of Republicans, many of whom are straight, who believe this is consistent with conservative values and want to be a part of the civil rights movement of their generation.”

The conference will feature panels dedicated to expanding gay rights, especially same-sex marriage, at statehouses and in Washington. (A sampling of the sessions: “Making Progress in Congress” and “Reaching Red States.”)

Single-issue advocacy groups, focused on everything from immigration to gun control, have a spotty record of reshaping the Republican Party’s agenda. But so far, Republicans backing same-sex marriage have found greater success, aided by wealthy donors, fast-changing public opinion and a growing air of inevitability surrounding the issue.
