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."

What does everyone think of this? Huh

Broad Coalition Backs Keystone XL Oil Pipeline
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/broad-coalition-backs-keystone-xl-oil-pipeline-22363514
2/4/14

An unusual coalition of lawmakers from both parties, labor and business leaders, veterans groups and Canada's ambassador to the United States joined forces Tuesday to push for quick approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

Five Democrats joined Republicans at a Capitol news conference to urge President Barack Obama to approve the pipeline following a State Department report last week that raised no major environmental objections. The $7 billion pipeline would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast. The project has lingered for more than five years and has become a symbol of the political debate over climate change.

Canadian Ambassador Gary Doer also spoke at the news conference, along with labor union officials and a retired Navy admiral. A top oil industry lobbyist attended the event but did not speak.

Environmental groups that oppose the pipeline have been making a lot of "noise," Doer said, but polls show a majority of Americans favor the project. Pipeline opponents, including many Democratic lawmakers, say it would carry heavy oil that contributes to global warming. They also worry about a spill.

Doer urged Obama to "choose blue-collar workers over Hollywood celebrities" and accept crude oil from Canada — the closest U.S ally — over oil from Venezuela. Robert Redford and Daryl Hannah are among scores of celebrities who have spoken out against the pipeline.

Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said the time to build the pipeline "is now," adding that pipelines are safer and more environmentally friendly than oil that is transported by trains or trucks.

Keystone XL, proposed by Calgary-based TransCanada Corp., not only would create jobs and boost her state's economy, it also would "connect two of the strongest allies in the world," Landrieu said.

"I would swap Canada for Venezuela any day of the week and twice on Sunday," added Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga., another pipeline supporter.

A report released Friday by the State Department cited no major environmental objections to the 1,179-mile pipeline, which would carry oil through Montana and South Dakota to a hub in Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines to get the oil to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Pipeline supporters say it will create thousands of jobs and move the U.S. toward North American energy independence.

Foes say the pipeline would carry "dirty oil" that contributes to global warming. The State Department report says oil derived from tar sands in Alberta generates about 17 percent more greenhouse gas emissions than traditional crude. But the report makes clear that other methods of transporting the oil — including rail, trucks and barges — would release more greenhouse gases than the pipeline.

The news conference in support of the pipeline came as environmental activists held vigils throughout the country on Monday to protest the pipeline, including one outside the White House attended by about 250 people. Opponents also are scheduling "pipeline meet-ups" throughout February to encourage people to raise the issue with candidates in the 2014 elections.

What do I think about this? As little as possible!

I avoid these topics about oil in general because I know it's all a ruse. Bickering back and forth over who gets what, etc. It got old long ago. Frankly, I'm sick of these people arguing over oil, using reasons that are stone cold lies, all with the intent to take as much money from people as possible.

I think they are all thieves and robbers in the oil industry.

Judge strikes down Nebraska law that allowed Keystone XL pipeline to proceed through the state

 A judge has struck down a Nebraska law that allowed the Keystone XL oil pipeline to proceed through the state.

Lancaster County Judge Stephanie Stacy issued a ruling Wednesday that invalidated Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman's approval of the route. Stacy says the decision should have been made by the Nebraska Public Service Commission, which regulates pipelines and other utilities.

The ruling could cause more delays in finishing the pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to Texas refineries.

But it's a win for Nebraska-based pipeline opponents. They've argued that Heineman exceeded his authority when he approved the route in January 2013.
