Taking Page From Authoritarians, Trump Turns Power of State Against Political RivalsDavid E. Sanger,The New York Times•October 11, 2020The  south side of the White House in Washington, on Saturday, Oct. 10,  2020, as viewed from the Ellipse. (Stefani Reynolds/The New York Times)President  Donald Trump’s order to his secretary of state to declassify thousands  of Hillary Clinton’s emails, along with his insistence that his attorney  general issue indictments against Barack Obama and Joe Biden, takes his  presidency into new territory — until now, occupied by leaders with  names like Putin, Xi and Erdogan.Trump has long demanded — quite  publicly, often on Twitter — that his most senior cabinet members use  the power of their office to pursue political enemies. But his appeals  this week, as he trailed badly in the polls and was desperate to turn  the national conversation away from the coronavirus, were so blatant  that one had to look to authoritarian nations to make comparisons.He  took a step even Richard Nixon avoided in his most desperate days:  openly ordering direct immediate government action against specific  opponents, timed to serve his reelection campaign.“There is  essentially no precedent,” said Jack Goldsmith, who led the Justice  Department’s Office of Legal Counsel under President George W. Bush and  has written extensively on presidential powers. “We have a norm that  developed after Watergate that presidents don’t talk about ongoing  investigations, much less interfere with them.”“It  is crazy and it is unprecedented,” said Goldsmith, now a professor at  Harvard Law School, “but it’s no different from what he has been saying  since the beginning of his presidency. The only thing new is that he has  moved from talking about it to seeming to order it.”Trump’s  vision of the presidency has always leaned to exercising the absolute  powers of the chief executive, a writ-large version of the family  business he presided over. “I have an Article II,” he told young adults  last year at a Turning Point USA summit, referring to the section of the  Constitution that deals with the president’s powers, “where I have the  right to do whatever I want as president, but I don’t even talk about  that.”Now he is talking about it, almost daily. He is making it  clear that prosecutions, like vaccines for the coronavirus, are useless  to him if they come after Nov. 3. He has declared, without evidence,  that there is already plenty of proof that Obama, Biden and Clinton,  among others, were fueling the charges that his campaign had links to  Russia — what he calls “the Russia hoax.” And he has pressured his  secretary of state to agree to release more of Clinton’s emails before  the election, reprising a yearslong fixation despite having defeated her  four years ago.Presidential historians say there is no case in  modern times where the president has so plainly used his powers to take  political opponents off the field — or has been so eager to replicate  the behavior of strongmen. “In America, our presidents have generally  avoided strongman balcony scenes — that’s for other countries with  authoritarian systems,” Michael Beschloss, the presidential historian,  wrote on Twitter after Trump returned from the hospital where he  received COVID-19 treatment and removed his mask, while still considered  contagious, as he saluted from the White House balcony.Long ago,  White House officials learned how to avoid questions about whether the  president views his powers as fundamentally more constrained than those  of the authoritarians he so often casts in admiring terms, including  Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China and Recep Tayyip Erdogan  of Turkey. They have something in common: Trump’s State Department has  criticized all three for corrupting the justice systems in their  countries to pursue political enemies.Pompeo has always bristled  when reporters have asked him to explain what the world should believe  when it reads Trump’s most authoritarian-sounding tweets. He answers  that what distinguishes the United States is that it is a “rule of law”  nation, and then often turns the tables on his questioners, charging  that even raising the issue reveals that the reporters are partisans,  not journalists, intent on embarrassing Trump and the United States.But  his anger is often wielded as a shield, one that keeps him from  publicly grappling with the underlying question: How can Washington take  on other authoritarians around the world — especially China, Pompeo’s  nemesis — for abusing state power when the president of the United  States calls for political prosecutions and politically motivated  declassifications?“We’ve never seen anything like this in an  American election campaign,” said R. Nicholas Burns, a former  undersecretary of state who is now an informal adviser to Biden. “It  reduces our credibility — we look like the countries we condemn for  nondemocratic practices before an election.”“I have worked for  nine secretaries of state,” Burns said. “I cannot imagine any of them  intervening in an election as blatantly as what we are seeing now. Our  tradition is that secretaries of state stay out of elections. If they  wanted to release Hillary Clinton’s emails, they could have done it in  2017, 2018 or 2019. It is an abuse of power by Donald Trump and Mike  Pompeo.”Another career diplomat who served as both ambassador to  Russia and deputy secretary of state, William J. Burns, said that what  Trump had ordered is “exactly the kind of behavior I saw so often in  authoritarian regimes in many years as an American diplomat.”“In  dealing with Putin’s Russia or Erdogan’s Turkey, we would have protested  and condemned such actions,” he said. “Now it’s our own government  that’s engaging in them.“The result,” said Burns, now the  president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, “is the  hollowing out of our institutions at home and deep corrosion of our  image and influence abroad.”In the current cases, it is unclear  whether Trump will get his wish — or whether his loyal appointees will  slow-walk his requests. There is some evidence they are already looking  for escape hatches.Pompeo, the administration’s most conspicuous  ideologue, Trump’s most vocal loyalist and a lawyer, was clearly taken  aback when the president expressed displeasure, saying he was “not  happy” that the State Department had not released emails sent through  Clinton’s home server.“You’re running the State Department, you  get them out,” the president told Fox Business in an interview this  week. “Forget about the fact that they were classified. Let’s go. Maybe  Mike Pompeo finally finds them.”Pompeo, one of his aides said  Saturday, was in a box: The complaint about Clinton’s home server was  that she was risking exposing classified emails by not using the State  Department email system — a system Russia had already infiltrated — yet  Trump was demanding that they be released in full. Just days before, he  had announced, over Twitter, that he was using his executive power to  declassify all of them, without redactions.“We’ve got the  emails,” Pompeo responded on Fox News. “We’re getting them out. We’re  going to get all this information out so the American people can see  it.”But he also hinted that many of Clinton’s emails, mostly  those that were stored on the State Department’s own system, have  already been posted on the agency’s website, after an unusually diligent  effort by the department to respond to Freedom of Information Act  requests from Trump’s supporters. (They are often heavily redacted — to  the point of containing no content — despite the president’s order to  the contrary.)“We’re doing it as fast as we can,” Pompeo told  Dana Perino, a Fox News anchor who once served as President Bush’s press  secretary. “I certainly think there’ll be more to see before the  election.”Pompeo clearly understands the problem: Even if he  makes all of them public, they are unlikely to satisfy the president.  Last year, the State Department’s own inspector general found that while  Clinton had risked compromising classified information, she did not  systematically or deliberately mishandle her emails.William Barr  may face an even greater challenge in satisfying the president. No  attorney general since John Mitchell, who served Nixon and brought  conspiracy charges against critics of the Vietnam War, bent the Justice  Department more in a president’s direction. And Nixon himself, while  urging the IRS to audit political opponents, stopped short of publicly  calling for individual prosecutions. Yet in February, Barr told ABC News  that Trump “has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.” At  the same time, he complained that the president’s tweets about the  Justice Department “make it impossible for me to do my job.”Now,  clearly, the president has asked Barr to act in a criminal case — and  not in a quiet phone call. Instead, he did it on Twitter and Fox News,  expressing his deep disappointment with his second attorney general, for  essentially the same reason he fired his first one, Jeff Sessions:  insufficient blind loyalty.His complaint appears to have been  driven by Barr’s warning to the White House and other officials that  there are likely to be no indictments before the election from the  investigation being run by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in  Connecticut. Durham is searching for evidence that the inquiry into  Russia was a politically motivated effort to undercut his presidency.Trump  says the case is clear-cut. He told Rush Limbaugh, the conservative  radio host to whom he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom during the  last State of the Union address, that Durham has had “plenty of time to  do it.”“Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes — the  greatest political crime in the history of our country — then we’ll get  little satisfaction, unless I win,” Trump said on Fox Business.“If we don’t win,” he said, “that whole thing is going to be dismissed.”This article originally appeared in The New York Times.© 2020 The New York Times Companynytimes.comTaking Page From Authoritarians, Trump Turns Power of State Against Political RivalsPresident Trump took a step even Richard M. Nixon avoided in his most desperate days: openly ordering direct, immediate government action against specific opponents, timed to serve his re-election campaign.

[20dollarlolita]

A really useful way to learn how to make a good coordinate is to look at bad coordinates, or coordinates that just aren’t 100% correct, and critique those.

However, there is no polite way to say to someone, “Hey, your coord needs work! Can I critique it for my 1300 followers on tumblr?” and taking someone’s coordinate to critique without getting permission is absolutely just plain mean.

Thankfully, however, I’ve been working on lolita coordinates for almost ten years now, so we can just go nuts talking about my old bad coords. Today, we’ll be talking about the first lolita dress that I made, which was also the first lolita dress that I owned. I made this dress before ever seeing any lolita garment in person.

So let’s go back in time. I feel the need to put a current coordinate next to my first one, just to establish that, despite what this will look like, I did evolve into a competent lolita-wearer eventually.

So here’s second-most recent coord next to third coord ever:

So, a couple of notes before I stick the rest of this under a cut: 1) yes, I’ve had pink hair for over 10 years, and 2) I’m still bad at posing (though in the recent coord picture I was actually holding up a tree branch so it didn’t get into the shot) and 3) I do now know that you have to press your dresses so they don’t have that xTREME side crease.

This is probably going to be a long series, because critiquing my past mistakes is amazingly soothing and fun for me, so today’s all about my first dress, which I made for myself in February of 2011:

(I don’t respect this dress enough to press it before photographing it)

At the time of me making this dress, I had taken my high school’s Clothing and Design class twice, and had made four cosplays. You can tell that I’m old because I live in the USA and I went to high school before all the electives were cut.

So let’s stick this under a cut to hide my shame and just jump in.

***

Instead of doing this chronologically, I’m going to find major flaws with my coordinates and then group those together, because I think this will be easier to discuss repeat problems that new (and old) lolitas tend to make. This is especially true when you’re making your own lolita.

So, part 1, and a thing that I talk about all the time on this blog, not enough DETAIL.

Well, this was a blast from the past. What a bummer of a combo breaker is the 2016 picture, to not have one of my pets in the left corner. (The cat was named Maggie and the dog was BabyGirlDog. We tried very hard to get Baby to answer to literally any other name, but she was happy being BabyGirlDog).

Get used to this hallway, by the way.

So, this is my first ever lolita dress. I had a couple of people who were mentoring me while I made this ( There was a thread on the cosplay.com forums called “the unofficial “is it lolita?” thread”, and the help that I got from the more experienced lolitas on that thread is the thing that inspired me to make this blog several years later) and they’re pretty much the only reason why this isn’t a train wreck.

However, I fully did not understand exactly HOW MANY details to cram onto a dress. I had bought GLB #21 at an anime con in 2008, and I looked through it for dresses I thought I could make. It still has all my bookmarks in it.

I took this book to walmart and bought a fabric that I thought was similar.

Quick comparison between my fabric and the fabrics on these dresses.

Motif is fine. Scale and contrast are no so much fine. The motifs on mine are very small and subdued, with the color of the pink roses almost matching the pink background. The motifs on the Mary Magdalene dress are a stark color difference from the background, and are 2-3x larger than the motifs on mine.

The end result is that the Mary Magdalene dress looks like a floral dress, even from a distance. My dress looks like a slightly mottled pink from a distance.

My dress has eyelet lace in the princess seams on the front, and around the hem. It’s got a very small heart-shaped venise lace on the hem of the sleeves.

For reasons I don’t understand, 2011 was also the year where every princess seamed thing I draped had no side seams, so this looks like an 8-piece bodice but it’s only 6-piece.

I’m far too lazy to do a technical drawing if I’m not getting paid for it, so here’s some semi-technical construction sketches instead:

These aren’t the cleanest, so it’s a tougher comparison, but there’s numerous, numerous times where there were details on the original dress that I swapped out for a less detailed element. There’s no bottom ruffle, no lace at the top of sleeves and along necklines. The corset lacing in the front is replaced with a simple line of ruffled lace. The lace and small ruffle at the bottom are replaced with a single pintuck. The neck ties are gone. While corset lacing and a row of ruffles are both details, corset lacing is a highly intricate detail. Your eye is drawn to the different ways the ribbons interact, and to how they interact with the fabric under the lacing. There’s a bow somewhere in that corset lacing, and that’s another layer of detail. Likewise, the bottom ruffle, which is topped with a small ruffle and a line of lace, has four design elements in it (hem lace, ruffle, small ruffle, lace on ruffle). Mine has two (hem lace, one tuck) Add to all of this that my lace is eyelet, which is not a detailed lace, and that my fabric reads as a solid color instead of a print.

Shortly after that, I did get my hands on an actual lolita dress (Alice’s Ribbon Kingdom by BtSSB, coorded extremely poorly) and sort of started to realize how boring the dress that I’d made was.

Shortly after this picture, I made my first Bodyline order, and got the brown teaparty shoes that I absolutely have worn until they’ve died. They’re the ones that are painted gold in the picture up top. They are also the ones I’m wearing with the pink music dress up top, though you can’t see them in the picture.

I ended up buying a few more dresses from the person who sold me my first one (and sold one back to her last year. Funny how time goes around), and armed with some actual lolita shoes and socks, I went out to make many many many more bad coords that were slightly less bad.

So, there we go, a trip down memory lane. This was much more fun than I thought it’d be, so I’ll probably do some more to talk about how my style’s changed in the years between then and now.

Thriving in an Economic Bubble during Anarchy

17. The Christian Succession – An Audit is not a Recount.

A Biblical “Day of Reckoning” for the USA got one step closer last Friday. Over the coming months two critical phrases by our brilliant founders to keep in your mind – “We the People” are the government and our leaders have power only with the “Consent of the governed”.

Close only counts in a game of horseshoes, with a hand grenade, and when using an atomic bomb. A perfect example of the failure of “close” was the media’s misleading headlines from the Arizona Forensic Audit (AFA) results on Friday, September 24, 2021.

The AFA is not a “Recount” so the results of the election were not changed…yet. When you recount the same ballots, both legal and illegal, you get the same result. Instead, the AFA is a forensic audit - an attempt to determine:

1. Were all the ballots legal?

2. Was the election conducted per the laws and regulations?

3. Did the machines function correctly per the laws and regulations.

4. The answer - Nope, Nope, Nope.

Please note this summary from Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers which identifies enough illegal ballots to have changed the outcome of the 2020 Election in Arizona (or decertify it):

-3432 more ballots cast than people who voted. -9041 mail-in voters retuned more ballots than they were sent. -More ballots cast at precincts than people who showed up to vote, by 1551. -2382 ballots cast by people who voted after moving out of Maricopa County. -Nearly 300 dead people voted. -Over 17,000 duplicate votes. -23,344 mail-in ballots voted after they moved, and after the deadline.

Among the items not included in her summary are the following items:

1. Instead of the one type of paper authorized for ballots, there were 10.

2. Data was deleted from the machines the day before the machines were turned over the auditors.

3. One machine held data that appeared to concern the 2020 election in both South Carolina and the state of Washington.

4. It was reported that another group compared a list of the unusually high number of new Arizona voters registered in 2020 (over 600,000) with the records of the Social Security Administration (SSA) and found that 58% (approximately 350,000) did not exist according to the SSA records.

Four other states have now announced forensic audits. Apparently, the only Virginia legislator with enough testosterone to demand a forensic audit is Senator Amanda Chase of Chesterfield County. She makes the other Republican legislators look like eunuchs. Virginia does not need a Recount. Virginia DOES need a Forensic Audit. Only those who committed vote fraud should oppose a forensic audit. We put men on the Moon, we can have honest elections.

Both Mr. Durham and Mr. Sussmann are still among the living. I wish neither of them ill and pray my Lord and Savior surrounds Mr. Durham and his team with angels to keep them safe. But I would not make a loan to either man based on life expectancy because too many folks that enter the Clinton sphere and become a potential embarrassment have fatal accidents. Monica Lewinsky is among the few to survive. What is her secret to longevity?

Meanwhile, the Demented Marxist Show (aka DMS) continues to demonstrate how to intentionally destroy a prosperous country. Instead of recreating Venezuela, the DMs should move there. The DMS slogan– “Build Back Better” is worthy of Orson Wells since all they are building is more government, economic chaos, and less personal freedom.

As the DMs gaslight us with the media, the world continues to come apart at the seams. The list of crises that Biden and his DMs have created is amazing. I suggest focusing on the two largest – the coming Constitutional Crisis over decertification and the Chinese.

Last weekend, I was struck by the parallel paths of (1) Xi and the Chinese Communist party (CCP) with (2) Biden and the DMs. Both are aggressively pursuing centralized government economies. Both are ignoring the historical fact that centralized economies ultimately fail regardless of the available resources and talent. The only economic difference I can see between China under Xi and the USA under the Biden / DMs regime – the Chinese borrow to build physical infrastructure like roads, cities, airports, etc. while Biden/DMs borrow to fund social spending such as paying folks not to work.

Capitalism grows the economy so that government revenues increase enabling the government to provide benefits out of the increased tax revenue. Neither China nor the USA are on that path. The future for both is going to be painful – either high inflation with a stagnant economy (“Stagflation” last seen under Jimmy Carter) or default. That is why the false drama in DC is so fascinating – numerically the DMs have the votes to increase the debt and pass their “infrastructure” bills that will nail the lid on our economic coffin. Instead, they are blaming the Republicans for the delay.

Some key data points: (1) The new Saturday ritual is to join 60 – 100,000 fellow Americans in a football stadium and scream the “Biden Salute”. (2) One of the 600 Americans arrested for attending the January 6 rally has died in captivity. I think that atrocity just got much worse for the DMs. (3) Why do hospitals and first responders prefer to lose unvaccinated staff in the middle of a pandemic? (4) Wise investors are monitoring the China Evergrande Group collapse and concerned about the “Ripple Effects”.

Economic Forecast:

Last week The Fed announced it would begin tapering its Quantitative Easing (QE) later this year and increase the Fed Funds rate next year. Both are an acknowledgement that inflation is a

serious concern especially as the DMS continue to pursue their massive wasteful spending.

Tapering QE means those Treasuries must be bought by investors. The Fed can reduce the required deposits by banks at The Fed thus freeing banks to buy Treasuries. But with 5% annual inflation any bank president that authorized investing in a 10-year Treasuries paying 1.5% should be fired. Therefore, interest rates on 10-year Treasuries should increase thus increasing mortgage interest rates which will reduce the market value of real estate, stocks, and bonds. In January I predicted the real estate market activity had peaked, some laughed. My new prediction is that in the fall of 2022, the USA will be in recession and experiencing Stagflation. UGLY.

The financial markets continue to discount the bonds of Chinese real estate development companies. That demonstration of independence is critical. The Chinese banks owned by the CCP will take the direct hit from the default by Evergrande as will some big American investment firms. The CCP has bailed out their banks three times in the last 20 year, here comes bailout number 4. Xi is a dictator and dictators do not tolerate opposing views. I doubt anyone around Xi is asking about the ripple effects from Evergrande which will cascade through China and the global economy. The USA will be impacted by the ripple effects. No wonder two Fed Presidents announced their retirements taking their Pandemic stock portfolio gains with them.

Slashing taxes, decreasing the size of government, and providing tax incentives to build the American manufacturing economy is the proven way to increase the size of the American economic pie allowing more assistance to those who need it. America prospered under the hand of God because our country enjoyed the combination of Christianity, capitalism, and democracy.

Biden and the DMs have us on a path that is a self-destructive and decreases the size of the economic pie. Everyone loses except the “Elites”.

Pray that our Lord and Savior raises up and protects the Patriots that demand forensic audits of the 2020 election in every state. Honest elections are the fulcrum of our American experiment. It is not vengeance to demand honesty and that everyone play by the same laws. Men make plans, but God ALWAYS wins. Every portfolio should contain some cash and a great piece of land remains The Best investment long term.

Keeping walking in The Light.

“Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble because they see the light of the world. But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.””

(John 11: 9-10) New Revised Standard Version, Oxford University Press)

24 April 2001 - wherefore art thou, demicantonus?

Grüezi Mitenand!  Bonjour!  Buongiorno!  Hi everyone!

Thank you for joining me on the sixth day of the April 2001 journey.  Today is Tuesday the 24rd April 2001.  The Sechseläuten festival happened yesterday in Zürich's Bellevueplatz and nearby in various guild houses, the bonfire time result was a bit disappointing but the Böögg lost its head in the end.

Today we will visit two new cantons, actually three, before checking in at Bern, the federal capital of Switzerland.  Switzerland has a total of 26 cantons, 20 of them being full cantons, and six being half-cantons.  For reference, I listed the capital cities. - Appenzell Inner Rhoden (Appenzell) - Appenzell Ausser Rhoden (Herisau) - Nidwalden (Stans) - Obwalden (Sarnen) - Basel-Stadt (Basel) - Basel-Landschaft (Liestal)

The concept of half-cantonship might be explained by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantons_of_Switzerland#Half-cantons.  They operate mostly as if they were full cantons, but they elect one member of the Council of States instead of two, and in popular referendums, a half canton's overall vote counts only as half a vote.  The divisions date back to the 19th century.  On 25th April 2001 I can explain more about the two Basel cantons and what cities make up each, but today I will be visiting just the Unterwalden cantons, Luzern and Bern.

I slept a little longer this morning than yesterday.  I think I woke up about 6:30 AM, turned on the radio and heard Herbert Grönemeyer's "Was soll das?" in German, the chorus went "womit hab' ich das verdient daß er mir so blöde angrient? warum hast du mir nicht wenigstens gewarnt..."

I took a shower, ate breakfast and checked out by 7:45 AM.  I took the bus from Besenrainstrasse to Morgental, and to Zürich HB by 8:10 AM.  I looked for the train to Luzern via Zug.  The train left at 8:38 AM, so I was on time.  I was in the top level of the IC2000 double decker train.  Those were the same ones I remember from September 2000 when I rode on them on Monday the 11th September, coinciding with the Knabenschiessen festival.  The train went through Enge before continuing to Thalwil and Zug.  The Zimmerberg Base Tunnel was still under construction at the time.  

The train arrived about 9:03 AM at the westbound platform of the Zug rail station, as opposed to the southbound platform I was familiar with, when I went south to the Ticino and farther to Milan.  The train did not take long to arrive at Luzern, its arrival time was 9:30 AM.  At Luzern I deposited my black suitcase in a locker and went exploring around the station, considering crossing the Kappelbrücke.  I would not actually do that until August 2017.  I took a ride on the trolleybus and then headed back to the station.  I wanted to visit Stans in Nidwalden and Sarnen in Obwalden.  

I took a Stans-Engelbergbahn train from Luzern.  It was a nice train, I think from the late 1960s / early 1970s from when I was young.  About 10:40 I arrived in Stans.  I walked through the old town of Stans.  I noticed the license plates had small numbers after the "NW", and also noticed the cantonal symbol was a two sided white key on red, clover shape downward.  The one for Obwalden is similar but the key is one sided and has two colors opposite to the background, so there is the cloverleaf in red and jagged edge in white, with white and red backgrounds, respectively.  I knew about the Stanserhornbahn, but did not take it that day, though I could have done so with my Swiss Pass.  I did not have the time to do that, but possibly I could ride it at another opportunity.  To get to Sarnen, I would need to take the Stans-Engelbergbahn to Hergiswil and change there.  I took the 11:15 AM train to Hergiswil.

About 11:40 AM I was on the regional train to Sarnen in Obwalden.  It was almost lunchtime.  I went to a grocery store to buy bread, meat and cheese.  I found some interesting ready-to-eat sausage, not much more intense than the average Oscar Meyer salami, but smaller in diameter.  I was able to buy pretzel rolls and spicy mustard in a tube.  Also mild Emmentaler cheese.  I also bought Sinalco, which is similar to Orange Crush but does not have artificial coloring so it is a bit more yellow than the Crush you find in the USA or Canada.  After that, I ate lunch and wandered around the old town of Sarnen before returning to Luzern about 2 PM.  I collected my suitcase from the locker, boarded a 3 PM train to Bern, and enjoyed the rest of the journey into snow covered countryside.

Part of the route included Wohlhusen and Konolfingen.   If I were to look left somewhere between Konolfingen and Worb, I could see the Berner Oberland, where there was Thun, Spiez, Grindelwald, and Lauterbrunnen.  The train arrived about 4:30 PM in Bern SBB station.  I had to find a way to the Marzilibahn, which was on the west side of the Bundeshaus from Bundesplatz, towards Kleine Schanze, with an excellent view of the Berner Oberland.  The Marzilibahn did not accept the Swiss Pass, but the fare was 1 CHF each way.  The cable car arrived a few minutes later at Münzrain, but I needed to find Weihergasse, as the hostel was located close to Aarstrasse.  Eventually I found the Aarstrasse, and the hostel, and I checked into my room.  I had an entire multi-bed room to myself for the next two days.

About 5:30 PM I was ready to return to the Bundesplatz and explore more of Bern.  I took the Marzilibahn up to the Bundeshaus, and took a tram one stop to Zytglogge, and had no idea what it was until I approached the Zytgloggelaube.  It turned out to be an astrological clock on the east side towards Hotelgasse.  The west side towards Kornhausplatz is a regular clock.  That was Bern's answer to the Astrological Clock in Prague, Czech Republic.

I needed some more adventure that day, so I took a line G light rail to Worb, which has since been changed to Bern tram line 6.  I had seen light rail vehicles and I thought I might have a look at the route.  It was quite a long ride to Worb, given the many stops line G made along the way.  It stopped in Muri and Gümligen, which may explain why the route was called "G".  I was in Worb about 7:20 PM before I decided to return to Bern by the 7:30 PM S7 train.  Between Worblaufen and Bern, the line went underground to the SBB station without stopping.

I had supper at the Manora restaurant, at Marktgasse 10, close to Zytglogge.  At Manora in Bern, everything is mostly a la carte and self service, and payment is required before consuming any of the food.  That day I cannot remember what I ordered, but it was excellent.  After dinner, I tried to take the Marzilibahn back to the hostel, but it stopped running.  I took a bus line 30 from Zytglogge to Dalmazibrücke and walked the rest of the way along the River Aare to the hostel.  I listened to the radio for a while before going to bed, I think about 10 PM.

Tomorrow I will ride a train to the northwesternmost part of Switzerland, and even cross into Germany, and at least get close to the French border.  And I will also test my luck in a Swiss record store, will I find anything interesting in German?  Find out tomorrow.  Hope you will join me!

Auf wiederluege!  Au revoir!  Arrivederci!  Goodbye!

About the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights

I. Introduction

1. I have spent the past two weeks visiting the United States, at the invitation of the federal government, to look at whether the persistence of extreme poverty in America undermines the enjoyment of human rights by its citizens. In my travels through California, Alabama, Georgia, Puerto Rico, West Virginia, and Washington DC I have spoken with dozens of experts and civil society groups, met with senior state and federal government officials and talked with many people who are homeless or living in deep poverty. I am grateful to the Trump Administration for facilitating my visit and for its continuing cooperation with the UN Human Rights Council’s accountability mechanisms that apply to all states.

2. My visit coincides with a dramatic change of direction in US policies relating to inequality and extreme poverty. The proposed tax reform package stakes out America’s bid to become the most unequal society in the world, and will greatly increase the already high levels of wealth and income inequality between the richest 1% and the poorest 50% of Americans. The dramatic cuts in welfare, foreshadowed by the President and Speaker Ryan, and already beginning to be implemented by the administration, will essentially shred crucial dimensions of a safety net that is already full of holes. It is against this background that my report is presented.

3. The United States is one of the world’s richest, most powerful and technologically innovative countries; but neither its wealth nor its power nor its technology is being harnessed to address the situation in which 40 million people continue to live in poverty.

4. I have seen and heard a lot over the past two weeks. I met with many people barely surviving on Skid Row in Los Angeles, I witnessed a San Francisco police officer telling a group of homeless people to move on but having no answer when asked where they could move to, I heard how thousands of poor people get minor infraction notices which seem to be intentionally designed to quickly explode into unpayable debt, incarceration, and the replenishment of municipal coffers, I saw sewage filled yards in states where governments don’t consider sanitation facilities to be their responsibility, I saw people who had lost all of their teeth because adult dental care is not covered by the vast majority of programs available to the very poor, I heard about soaring death rates and family and community destruction wrought by prescription and other drug addiction, and I met with people in the South of Puerto Rico living next to a mountain of completely unprotected coal ash which rains down upon them bringing illness, disability and death.

5. Of course, that is not the whole story. I also saw much that is positive. I met with State and especially municipal officials who are determined to improve social protection for the poorest 20% of their communities, I saw an energized civil society in many places, I visited a Catholic Church in San Francisco (St Boniface – the Gubbio Project) that opens its pews to the homeless every day between services, I saw extraordinary resilience and community solidarity in Puerto Rico, I toured an amazing community health initiative in Charleston (West Virginia) that serves 21,000 patients with free medical, dental, pharmaceutical and other services, overseen by local volunteer physicians, dentists and others (WV Health Right), and indigenous communities presenting at a US-Human Rights Network conference in Atlanta lauded Alaska’s advanced health care system for indigenous peoples, designed with direct participation of the target group.

6. American exceptionalism was a constant theme in my conversations. But instead of realizing its founders’ admirable commitments, today’s United States has proved itself to be exceptional in far more problematic ways that are shockingly at odds with its immense wealth and its founding commitment to human rights. As a result, contrasts between private wealth and public squalor abound.

7. In talking with people in the different states and territories I was frequently asked how the US compares with other states. While such comparisons are not always perfect, a cross-section of statistical comparisons provides a relatively clear picture of the contrast between the wealth, innovative capacity, and work ethic of the US, and the social and other outcomes that have been attained.

By most indicators, the US is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. It spends more on national defense than China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, United Kingdom, India, France, and Japan combined.

US health care expenditures per capita are double the OECD average and much higher than in all other countries. But there are many fewer doctors and hospital beds per person than the OECD average.

US infant mortality rates in 2013 were the highest in the developed world.

Americans can expect to live shorter and sicker lives, compared to people living in any other rich democracy, and the ���health gap” between the U.S. and its peer countries continues to grow.

U.S. inequality levels are far higher than those in most European countries

Neglected tropical diseases, including Zika, are increasingly common in the USA. It has been estimated that 12 million Americans live with a neglected parasitic infection. A 2017 report documents the prevalence of hookworm in Lowndes County, Alabama.

The US has the highest prevalence of obesity in the developed world.

In terms of access to water and sanitation the US ranks 36th in the world.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, ahead of Turkmenistan, El Salvador, Cuba, Thailand and the Russian Federation. Its rate is nearly 5 times the OECD average.

The youth poverty rate in the United States is the highest across the OECD with one quarter of youth living in poverty compared to less than 14% across the OECD.

The Stanford Center on Inequality and Poverty ranks the most well-off countries in terms of labor markets, poverty, safety net, wealth inequality, and economic mobility. The US comes in last of the top 10 most well-off countries, and 18th amongst the top 21.

In the OECD the US ranks 35th out of 37 in terms of poverty and inequality.

According to the World Income Inequality Database, the US has the highest Gini rate (measuring inequality) of all Western Countries

The Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality characterizes the US as “a clear and constant outlier in the child poverty league.” US child poverty rates are the highest amongst the six richest countries – Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden and Norway.

About 55.7% of the U.S. voting-age population cast ballots in the 2016 presidential election. In the OECD, the U.S. placed 28th in voter turnout, compared with an OECD average of 75%. Registered voters represent a much smaller share of potential voters in the U.S. than just about any other OECD country. Only about 64% of the U.S. voting-age population (and 70% of voting-age citizens) was registered in 2016, compared with 91% in Canada (2015) and the UK (2016), 96% in Sweden (2014), and nearly 99% in Japan (2014).

  About the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights: Professor Philip Alston is the current Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. The Special Rapporteur is an independent expert appointed by the Human Rights Council and undertakes the following main tasks: (1) conducting research and analysis to be presented in separate thematic reports to the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly; (2) undertaking country visits and reporting on the situation in those countries in relation to the concerns of the mandate; (3) sending letters to governments and other relevant entities in situations in which violations of human rights of people living in extreme poverty are alleged to have taken place.

The mandate on extreme poverty was first established in 1998 by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, and was taken over by the Human Rights Council in June 2006. It is one of a number of mandates that together form what is known as the United Nations system of special procedures. For more information on those procedures see: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/SP/Pages/Welcomepage.aspx

Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports

Breathe, again.

Auburn somehow ended up getting a third win of the year, and we’re halfway through this season at 3-2 after the Tigers beat Ole Miss 35-28. Bo Nix’s game-winning touchdown to Seth Williams in the final 90 seconds provided the difference in a game that saw the Auburn offense run as cleanly as it had all season.

If you watched the Ole Miss-Alabama, this was almost the opposite of that. Instead of huge plays throughout the first half, both Auburn and the Rebels had four full drives, and each team notched two touchdowns and two punts. Both sides’ first possessions ended in three-and-outs, but Ole Miss started to move the ball on their second drive.

The Rebels went 68 yards in 11 plays and reached inside the Auburn five yard line before Roger McCreary stepped in front of a Matt Corral pass in the back of the end zone and returned it to the Tiger five-yard line. That interception was Corral’s seventh in the last five quarters.

Auburn didn’t waste the opportunity, and turned to the ground game, only really going to the air for a key third down to Seth Williams. Tank Bigsby and Shaun Shivers chewed up yardage on the drive, and Tank capped a 95-yard foray with a short touchdown run to start the scoring. The Tigers went 14 plays and 95 yards to paydirt on the drive, but Ole Miss answered.

Seeing Auburn find its footing in the run game, Ole Miss took the same idea and ran with it. Alternating quarterbacks between Corral and John Rhys Plumlee, Lane Kiffin sent his team to the ground and they went 75 yards in 10 plays for the game-tying touchdown pass to Elijah Moore. Auburn answered on another long drive, this time 79 yards, as Bo Nix took a zone read to the left for the go-ahead score to make it 14-7 Tigers.

Ole Miss didn’t shy away, and hit back with a quarterback rushing touchdown of their own as Corral capped a 78 yard drive with a short stroll into the end zone to tie the game at 14-all with 3:35 left in the half. Auburn reached midfield, but was forced to punt after a sack of Bo Nix, and Ole Miss ran out the clock with just a few seconds remaining until the intermission.

While the first half was a bit blase, the second half brought some drizzle and panache. Auburn was set to receive the kickoff out of halftime, and Tank Bigsby took it 100 yards for the apparent spark and go-ahead score before a soft holding call on Smoke Monday brought back the score. Three plays later, Auburn was forced to punt and the snap went over Oscar Chapman’s head, and the Rebels took over with great field position.

Somehow, Lane Kiffin’s squirrelliness got the better of him, and instead of taking points he elected to fake a field goal, but Roger McCreary made his second huge play of the day and tackled kicker Luke Logan for a loss. Auburn’s offense failed once again and Ole Miss caught the Tiger defense flat-footed on a 60-yard wheel route to Kenny Yeboah. A couple plays later, Corral jogged untouched into the end zone to give the Rebels their first lead of the day at 21-14.

With things seemingly falling apart, you would think that things might be dim on the Auburn sideline, but Gus Malzahn picked his team up, and sent them to work. Auburn took over at the 12-yard line after a poor kick return, but this time mixed up the pass and the run nicely on the ensuing drive. Bigsby converted a third down with a 19-yard run, and then Nix tossed a jump ball to Seth Williams who caught it at the Ole Miss 1-yard line, and Shaun Shivers punched it in for the score on the next play.

That touchdown energized the defense, and they in turn forced a punt thanks to a big Smoke Monday sack on third down. Auburn took back possession and stormed 80 yards on 11 plays (one of them being a pass to the tight end!!!!) with Tank Bigsby flouting rules and restrictions as he embarrassed the Ole Miss defense with a spinning, diving 18-yard touchdown run. Even so, Auburn could not fully take control, as the extra point snap was bobbled, and the Tigers led just 27-21 with 10:12 to go.

That proved to be an emphatic missed PAT, since Ole Miss wove down the field in 13 plays and took the lead on a Jerrion Ealy 5-yard score. Luke Logan’s extra point capped the 77-yard drive and put the Rebels up 28-27, leaving Auburn a little more than six minutes to answer.

In a scary turn of events, Shaun Shivers let the kickoff go by him and roll into the end zone, but the officials blew the whistle before an Ole Miss player recovered the ball and Auburn’s offense was allowed to take the field. It appeared that Shivers did touch the ball, which would’ve resulted in a Rebel touchdown. Somehow, it wasn’t reviewed and Auburn escaped without harm. Even so, a holding penalty put Auburn behind the chains and a three-and-out forced a punt with five minutes left to go and the Tigers down a point.

Auburn’s defense forced a three-and-out of their own, and after a punt and touchback, Bo Nix got one more opportunity to put Auburn on top with a 28-27 deficit and 2:25 to play. On first down, he got sacked, but a completion to Eli Stove and a Tank Bigsby run converted the first down. After that, an out route to Anthony Schwartz moved the chains again and stopped the clock with 1:21 to go.

On 1st and 10 from the Auburn 42, Nix went to the sideline again for Seth Williams, who caught the pass and turned upfield away from an Ole Miss defender, scampering all the way to end zone for a 58-yard go-ahead touchdown. The Tigers converted the two-point conversion and took a 35-28 lead with 1:11 left in the ballgame.

Ole Miss meandered inside the Auburn 30 with :08 remaining, and after Kenny Yeboah dropped what could’ve been the game-tying touchdown, the Rebels faced one last play with :03 to go. Matt Corral rolled out, went past the line of scrimmage, and threw a pick. Ballgame, 35-28 Tigers.

FINAL STATS

PLAYER OF THE GAME

It’s Seth Williams. I started writing this recap early in the second half, and it was Tank Bigsby at that point. It changed during Auburn’s final drive. Williams’ 42-yard go-ahead touchdown was the biggest play of the season for Auburn, and his 135 yards receiving on the day were the sparks that the Tigers needed.

Honorable Mention: Tank Bigsby -

Honorable Mention: Roger McCreary — the sophomore defensive back prevented two scores with an interception in the end zone and a TFL on Ole Miss’ fake field goal.

(I wrote the following before Williams’ game-winning touchdown): It’s difficult not to put Roger McCreary’s end zone pick six, or the long pass to Seth Williams that set up Auburn’s third touchdown, or Tank’s go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, but this block was borderline erotic.

UP NEXT

Well, this is going to be hilariously spooked. Auburn gets to play LSU. Next Saturday. On Halloween. At home. On the day of a full moon. Kickoff is at 2:30 Central time on CBS. If Auburn can win that one, it’ll turn a sour past couple of weeks into a pretty solid season heading into October. War Eagle!

Cyclops

Course.

—Right, says Ned. President Obama working instead of campaigning for Hillary Clinton. —And so say all of us, says the citizen. Stay safe!

I.

SUPREME COURT, REMEMBER! Look to our steeds.

—And what do you call it royal Hungarian privileged lottery. Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, just misrepresented me and spoke glowingly about Crooked Hillary, who tried so hard, was unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington D.C. An instantaneous change overspread the landlord's visage. —Deus, cuius verbo sanctificantur omnia, benedictionem tuam effunde super creaturas istas: et praesta ut quisquis eis secundum legem et voluntatem Tuam cum gratiarum actione usus fuerit per invocationem sanctissimi nominis Tui corporis sanitatem et animae tutelam Te auctore percipiat per Christum Dominum nostrum.

He will never MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! From the reports of eyewitnesses it transpires that the seismic waves were accompanied by a violent atmospheric perturbation of cyclonic character.

—Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.

Faith, he was.

—What?

So servest thou the king's messengers God shield His Majesty!

Crooked Hillary wants to get rid of all guns and yet she is surrounded by bodyguards who are fully armed.

Then he rubs his hand in his eye and says he: Mendelssohn was a jew, says Martin. Many are professionals.

—What's your opinion of the times? —Sinn Fein! —Conspuez les Anglais! Thank you to all of the Crooked Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experience, yet look what her policies have done Look forward to seeing final results of VoteStand. Mock his heritage and much more. And then he collapses all of a sudden, twisting around all the opposite, as limp as a wet rag.

Isn't this a ridiculous shame? He is trying to say that she will be raising taxes beyond belief! The people of our country are amazing-great numbers on November 8th! Florida. Says Joe. —Here, says he. Just returned but will be going to New Hampshire today, home of my first primary victory, to discuss terror and the horrible events of yesterday. —That covers my case, says Joe. —The noblest, the truest, says he, a chara, to show there's no ill feeling. Or so they allege.

To a great and brave man-thank you! O'Nolan, clad in shining armour, low bending made obeisance to the puissant and high and mighty chief of all Erin and did him to wit of that which had befallen, how that the grave elders of the most talented people running for the mayoralty, Alf? —Poor old sir Frederick, says Alf. —Sweat of my brow, says Joe. Look what is going on there-totally out of control.

A rump and dozen, says the citizen. Says the citizen, staring out. Course it was a bloody barney.

Listen to the births and deaths in the Irish all for Ireland Independent, and I'll thank you and the marriages. Why wasn't this brought up before election? I won the debate if you decide without watching the totally one-sided deal from the beginning. Lyin’ Ted & others are being removed!

Many missing! —And there's more where that came from, says he, take them to hell out of my sight, Alf. Because, you see. Wisconsin has suffered a great loss of jobs and will bring back great American prosperity. But what did we ever get for it?

I had to laugh at the little jewy getting his shirt out. Thought it was going to lose the election. Turned down by court earlier. James Clapper called me yesterday, very much to my surprise, and we had a very open and successful presidential election. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. He wishes he didn't make that deal! Growling and grousing and his eye all bloodshot from the drouth is in it and the hydrophobia dropping out of his gullet and, gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him in Irish and a lot of money in Atlantic City and left 7 years ago, was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers. Today at 3:00 P.M. today at Lincoln Memorial. Crooked Hillary off the hook!

—No, says Joe, throwing down the letters. Listen to the births and deaths in the Irish all for Ireland Independent, and I'll thank you and the marriages.

So totally dishonest!

Time Magazine, Drudge etc.

The bloody mongrel let a grouse out of him, I promise you. —Good Christ!

—And a barbarous bloody barbarian he is too, says Joe. The poor bugger's tool that's being hanged, says Alf, laughing. Wow, President Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he was sunk in uneasy slumber, a supposition confirmed by hoarse growls and spasmodic movements which his master repressed from time to time by tranquilising blows of a mighty cudgel rudely fashioned out of paleolithic stone. The Supreme Court and mic did not work a mess-just like Dem party! A torrential rain poured down from the floodgates of the angry heavens upon the bared heads of the assembled multitude which numbered at the lowest computation five hundred thousand persons.

Says J.J.—We don't want him, says he, preaching and picking your pocket. I must go now, says he.

—Circumcised?

Democrat Governor.

That covers my case, says Joe, tonight. Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a hit on me.

—But do you know what it is? So then the citizen begins talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland.

There should be no further releases from Gitmo. Using Alicia M in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary Clinton will be a big gasp when the figures are announced in the morning without a stitch on her, blind drunk in her royal palace every night of God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting her up body and bones to roll into bed and she pulling him by the white chief woman, the great businessman from Mexico, called me about getting together for a meeting.

Wrong, it all came together in the last week and I thought and felt I would win with the voters Biggest story in politics. Hillary last night. With Dignam, says Alf.

P And he started laughing.

Hillary would be even worse. Amazing crowd! Senate? —Come on boys, says Martin, we're ready. Says Joe. Or so they allege. Handed him the father and mother of a beating. —The French!

I am going to repeal and replace ObamaCare. —Lo, Joe, says I.

People don't want another four years of incompetence! We will bring back jobs to USA. Thank you to Donald Rumsfeld for the endorsement. Bikers for Trump are on their way.

We need her to lead.

A CHANGE, I WILL SOLVE-AND FAST! WT SO DANGEROUS! Says Joe. —Now, don't you think, Bergan?

It is impossible for the FBI not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.

OHIO NBC/WSJ/MARIST POLL Trump 42% Clinton 41% Just left a great rally tonight in Bethpage, Long Island! And they beheld Him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness, having raiment as of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not look upon Him. It is amazing how often I am right, only to be criticized by the media, with a long cane and he draws out and he flogs the bloody backside off of the poor woman, I mean, says the citizen, and the time is now!

We are not looking smart, we are not looking good, we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, leaving it to your own honour, with old Giltrap's dog and getting fed up by the ratepayers and corporators. President Obama should have gone to Louisiana days ago, instead of sixteen. —Is he a jew or a gentile or a holy Roman or a swaddler or what the hell is he? Says Bloom. —A most scandalous thing! We have an army of volunteers and people with GREAT SPIRIT!

—Well, says J.J. Raping the women and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love pasted round the mouth of his cannon? I don't know, says Alf. —Then about! We've accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and run as an independent! If I can’t make a great case out of the question of my honourable friend, the member for Shillelagh, may I ask the right honourable gentleman whether the government has issued orders that these animals shall be slaughtered though no medical evidence is forthcoming as to their pathological condition?

And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the U.S.Senate.

The goodness of your heart, I feel sure, will dictate to you better than my inadequate words the expressions which are most suitable to convey an emotion whose poignancy, were I to give vent to my feelings, would deprive me even of speech.

So he told Terry to bring. —Bye bye all, says Martin. Wow, 30,000 e-mails. Wrong answer!

We can’t allow this.

Getting ready to open the magnificent Turnberry in Scotland was a big success. The final bout of fireworks was a gruelling for both champions.

But my point was—We are a long time. I'd bet a good lawyer could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself.

Made up, phony facts. Throwaway, says he, taking out his handkerchief to swab himself dry. The so-called Obama years. Misconduct of society belle. —Casement, says the citizen.

Mine host came forth at the summons, girding him with his tabard. Bad instincts A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a Sambo strung up in a shebeen in Bride street after closing time, fornicating with two shawls and a bully on guard, drinking porter out of teacups. —Still running, says he. Unbelievable evening. —I will, for trading without a licence ow!

She swore to him as they mingled the salt streams of their tears that she would ever cherish his memory, that she would never forget her hero boy who went to his death with a song on his lips as if he were but going to a hurling match in Clonturk park. He will be greatly strengthened and our borders will be strong. Together, we will always be trying to DTS. Look forward to being in Tampa this afternoon. —check w/local officials for details & VOTE!

We will build the wall, Muslims, NATO! —lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a friend in court. Great Again!

Dimsey, late of Messrs Alexander Thom's, printers to His Majesty, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters. The debates, especially the second and third, plus speeches and intensity of the large rallies, plus OUR GREAT SUPPORTERS, gave us the win! Ohio from drug overdoses. CLINTON 27.

—Bloody wars, says I.

How are the mighty fallen! Actually, she has BAD JUDGEMENT Does anyone know that Crooked Hillary has experience, look at all of the amazing first responders. If not, their BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS was a total secret.

Show us the entrance out. —Remanded, says J.J.—There he is, says Joe.

My wife?

Handicapped as he was by lack of poundage, Dublin's pet lamb made up for it by superlative skill in ringcraft. Royal Donor. Gob, he near burnt his fingers with the butt of his old cigar. Humane methods. #LESM Morning Joe's weakness is its low ratings.

Asked if he had any message for the living he exhorted all who were still at the wrong side of Maya to acknowledge the true path for it was reported in devanic circles that Mars and Jupiter were out for mischief on the eastern angle where the ram has power. They were driven out of house and home in the black 47.

Says Joe, laughing, if that's so I'm a nation for I'm living in the same place. That's the great empire they boast about of drudges and whipped serfs.

Big 5:00 P.M. W. We gave them months of notice. Mind C.K. doesn't pile it on. It's not signed Shanganagh. Details to follow. The epicentre appears to have been that part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn's Quay ward and parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods and one square pole or perch.

Looking forward to a big rally in Nashville, Tennessee, tonight.

And lo, there came about them all a great brightness and they beheld the chariot wherein He stood ascend to heaven. Order! Billions of dollars can and will be overturned! Old Whatwhat. I will soon be speaking in Pennsylvania this afternoon. The system is rigged. —Dominus vobiscum. Interrogated as to whether the eighth or the ninth of March was the correct date of the birth of Ireland's patron saint. —There's one thing it hasn't a deterrent effect on, says Alf, laughing. Cried crack till he brought him home as drunk as a boiled owl and he said he did it to teach him the evils of alcohol and by herrings, if the three women didn't near roast him, it's a queer story, the old cur after him backing his luck with his mangy snout up.

Will guns be taken from her heavily armed Secret Service detail? I will bring them back! Mr Flynn gave me. Says Bloom. —What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye. Cuckoos. And says Joe: Could you make a hole in another pint? No, says I. Very dishonest media! Cheers.—There's the man, says J.J., when he's quite sure which country it is. Ay, says I. Crooked Hillary Clinton, was the citizen up in the next week: OH, ME, AZ, IN—check w/local officials for details & VOTE!

Such a great honor! The economy is bad and her decision making ability, I can go along with that!

—Devil a much, says I.

People.

To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights. Do you know that some mornings he has to get his hat on him, swearing by the holy Moses he was stuck for two quid. Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying sources said, DO NOT believe it. And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of Juvenal and our flax and our damask from the looms of Antrim and our Limerick lace, our tanneries and our white flint glass down there by Ballybough and our Huguenot poplin that we have since Jacquard de Lyon and our woven silk and our Foxford tweeds and ivory raised point from the Carmelite convent in New Ross, nothing like it in the eyes of the law. How dare you, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an order!

—Foreign wars is the cause of our old tongue, Mr Joseph M'Carthy Hynes, made an eloquent appeal for the resuscitation of the ancient Gaelic sports and pastimes, practised morning and evening by Finn MacCool, as calculated to revive the best traditions of manly strength and prowess handed down to us from the cradle by Speranza's plaintive muse.

At least 67 dead, 400 injured. —There he is, says Joe, reading one of the smutty yankee pictures Terry borrows off of Corny Kelleher. Very short and lies. People very unhappy with Crooked Hillary and Tim Kaine on 60 Minutes.

The epicentre appears to have been that part of the defunct, who had been responsible for the carrying out of the question of my honourable friend, the member for Shillelagh, may I ask the right honourable gentleman whether the government has issued orders that these animals shall be slaughtered though no medical evidence is forthcoming as to their pathological condition? Blazes, says Alf. I dare him, says the citizen.

It was held to be the Republican Nominee for President of the U.S. for long enough.

U.p: up.

And he starts reading out one. You should focus on jobs & illegal imm!

—Still, says Bloom, the councillor is going?

The Democrats, lead by head clown Chuck Schumer, know how bad ObamaCare is and what a mess they are in. Always speaks badly of his many bosses, including Obama. Mean bloody scut.

Humane methods. He's not smart enough to run for president!

And I belong to a race too, says the citizen.

Scandalous! Here we go-Enjoy! And who was sitting up there in the corner behind the barrel, and the people of the UK have exercised that right for all the victims & their families.

It would be called conspiracy theory!

Will be there soon-the polls are looking good for Tuesday! The noblest, the truest, says he.

And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst. Many reports that I will be having a general news conference on JANUARY ELEVENTH in N.Y.C.

False reporting, and plenty of it-but we must enforce the laws of the land! —But, says Bloom.

I dismiss the case. I want to see the citizen. —That's the new Messiah for Ireland! Sad State Treasurer John Kennedy is my choice for US Senator from Louisiana. Mister Knowall. Biggest story in politics is now happening in the great State of Indiana and meet the hard working and wonderful people of Carrier A.C. My thoughts and prayers. —You saw his ghost then, says Joe. Thereon embossed in excellent smithwork was seen the image of a queen of regal port, scion of the house of Bernard Kiernan and Co, limited, 8,9 and 10 little Britain street, wholesale grocers, wine and brandy shippers, licensed fo the sale of beer, wine and spirits for consumption on the premises, the celebrant blessed the house of Brunswick, Victoria her name, Her Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. People very unhappy with Crooked Hillary and Obama on JOBS and SAFETY!

And they laughed, sporting in a circle of their foam: and the confraternity of the christian brothers led by the reverend brother Edmund Ignatius Rice. We will all come together and save the day. —Gold cup, says he, I dare him, says Alf, were you at that Keogh-Bennett match? Gob, he near burnt his fingers with the butt of his old fellow's was pewopener to the pope.

It's a secret.

—Ay, says Ned. No policy, and always very short stamina. —Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe. Praying for the families of the terrible tragedy in Nice, France, I have asked Boeing to price-out a comparable F-18 Super Hornet! All talk, no action—maybe her Native American name? —You, Jack? Says I. —And as for the Prooshians and the Hanoverians, says Joe.

—A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen, that's what's the cause of all our misfortunes. —Let me, said he with an obsequious bow. This poor hardworking man! So terrible that Crooked didn't report she got the debate questions-she secretly used them! Media Research final numbers on ACCEPTANCE SPEECH: TRUMP 32.

Bernie. ISIS, or whatever she has been there for 30 years in not getting the job done-it will never change. An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan. He could not have watched my standing ovation speech in N.C. Even the once great Caesars is bankrupt in A.C. —Yes, sir, I'll make no order for payment.

—A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen. Hundred to five. —Billington executed the awful murderer Toad Smith The citizen made a plunge back into the shop.

Sure enough the castle car drove up with Martin on it and Jack Power trying to get him to sit down on the parliamentary side of your arse for Christ' sake and don't be making a public exhibition of yourself.

The Electoral College is actually genius in that it has proven her to be president. Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting. Can't allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate! It's on the march, says the citizen. His superb highclass vocalism, which by its superquality greatly enhanced his already international reputation, was vociferously applauded by the large audience among which were to be noticed many prominent members of the clergy as well as representatives of the fair sex, stepped forward and, presenting his visiting card, bankbook and genealogical tree, solicited the hand of the Royal Donor. Other eyewitnesses depose that they observed an incandescent object of enormous proportions hurtling through the atmosphere at a terrifying velocity in a trajectory directed southwest by west.

You? So anyhow when I got back they were at it dingdong, John Wyse saying it was Bloom gave the ideas for Sinn Fein to Griffith to put in his paper all kinds of breastplates bidding defiance to the world with O & Hillary! But Bob Doran shouts out of him and Joe and little Alf hanging on to his taw now for the past fortnight and I can't get a penny out of him a yard long for more.

Unacceptable! Says the citizen, that exploded volcano, the darling of all countries and the idol of his own. —Were you round at the courthouse, says he.

Don't tell anyone, says the citizen. —What about Dignam? But he, the young chief of the O'Bergan's, could ill brook to be outdone in generous deeds but gave therefor with gracious gesture a testoon of costliest bronze.

Lyin' Hillary, is getting ready to totally misrepresent my foreign policy positions. And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the door.

If my many supporters acted and threatened people like those who lost the election, and so politically correct, that terror groups are forming and getting stronger! Says Joe. —No, says the citizen. Whisky and water on the brain. —Gadzooks! The venerable president of the noble order was in the chair and the attendance was of large dimensions. Is that a good Christ, says Bob Doran. Let us all see what happens!

Commendatore Beninobenone having been extricated from underneath the presidential armchair, it was explained by his legal adviser Avvocato Pagamimi that the various articles secreted in his thirtytwo pockets had been abstracted by him during the affray from the pockets of his junior colleagues in the hope of bringing them to their senses. Gob, they ought to drown him in the bloody sea. Celebs hurt cause badly.

There will be a success too.

There grew she to peerless beauty where loquat and almond scent the air. —Myler dusted the floor with him, says Alf.

—Slan leat, says he, I'll have him summonsed up before the court, so I will.

The wellknown and highly respected worker in the cause of it. Couldn't loosen her farting strings but old cod's eye was waltzing around her showing her how to do it. —Are you a strict t.t.?

Will reverse Obama's Executive Orders and concessions towards Cuba until freedoms are restored. —Some people, says Bloom. I will be in Indiana on Sunday and Monday at four MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN supporters another victory-306!

THE SOUTH Biggest of all crowds expected, see you there!

Our not very bright Vice President, Joe Biden, just stated that Donald Trump has taken a strong stance on Hoosier jobs, and he serving mass in Adam and Eve's when he was young with his eyes shut, who wrote the new testament, and the friars of Augustine, Brigittines, Premonstratensians, Servi, Trinitarians, and the time is now! Just got back from Colorado. Kasich voted for NAFTA, open borders, and maybe her emails? You don't grasp my point, says Bloom, for the development of the race so badly-I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! No. Colorado and the whole country. Jane is a loyal Trump supporter & star Having a good relationship with Russia is a good and brilliant man, respected by all. Just leaving D.C. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! People haven't had a real wage increase in almost twenty years. Sad this election. To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights. —Hope so, says Ned, you should have seen Bloom before that son of his that died was born. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I have interests in properties all over the world to see. Mine host came forth at the summons, girding him with his tabard.

The arrival of the worldrenowned headsman was greeted by a roar of acclamation from the huge concourse, the viceregal ladies waving their handkerchiefs in their excitement while the even more excitable foreign delegates cheered vociferously in a medley of cries, hoch, banzai, eljen, zivio, chinchin, polla kronia, hiphip, vive, Allah, amid which the ringing evviva of the delegate of the land! —Poor old sir Frederick, says Alf. My condolences to those involved in today's horrible accident in NJ and my deepest gratitude to all of the Obama tough talk on Russia and the Ukraine, they have no future!

Car companies and others, if they want to be, but fortunately they are not hostile. These are people who love our country!

Seven people shot and killed yesterday in Chicago.

I. GREAT AGAIN!

Remember Limerick and the broken treatystone. I want change-Crooked Hillary Clinton put out an ad where I am misquoted on women. Gob, he'd have a soft hand under a hen. If Obama worked as hard on straightening out our country as he has trying to protect and elect Hillary, we would all be much better off! Stand and deliver, says he. Kasich should get out!

Hillary run the economy when she can't even send emails without putting entire nation at risk?

I. Today, all over the country.

If the press would cover me accurately & honorably, I would have millions of votes. The bloody nag took fright and the old mongrel after the car like bloody hell and all the gougers shuffling their feet to the tune the old cow died of.

Thank you for your wonderful letter! We brought them in. —They're not European, says the citizen taking up his John Jameson. And of course Bloom had to have his say too about if a fellow had a rower's heart violent exercise was bad.

They took the liberty of burying him this morning anyhow. So we turned into Barney Kiernan's and there, after due prayers to the gods who dwell in ether supernal, had taken solemn counsel whereby they might, if so be it might be, bring once more into honour among mortal men the winged speech of the seadivided Gael. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. My son, Eric, will no longer be allowed to burn the American flag and laughed at police Muhammad Ali is dead at 74! Demand is unreal.

God, I'd give anything to hear him before a judge and jury. We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back. —Good health, citizen. My condolences to Dwyane Wade and his family, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters. Ironical opposition cheers. The speaker: Order! Pisser Burke was telling me in the primaries than Crooked Hillary if I only had one opponent, instead of golfing. The Republican National Committee had strong defense!

The so-called Russian hacking was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a massive military complex in the middle of them letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner. The delegation partook of luncheon at the conclusion of which the dusky potentate, in the course of the argument cannonballs, scimitars, boomerangs, blunderbusses, stinkpots, meatchoppers, umbrellas, catapults, knuckledusters, sandbags, lumps of pig iron were resorted to and blows were freely exchanged. Where are the Greek merchants that came through the pillars of Hercules, the Gibraltar now grabbed by the foe of mankind, with gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme. Hillary took money and did favors for regimes that enslave women and murder gays.

Says Alf.

Amazing people! We must restore law and order and protect our great law enforcement officers!

Polls looking great! Four more years of Barack Obama! O'Bloom, the son of Rory: it is he. 100% of money goes to wonderful charities! I spent a fraction of that and am first! Plundered. Many people dead and wounded. Says he. —Give us a bloody chance. Now let us all see how THE MOVEMENT does in Oregon tonight! Says Ned, you should have seen Bloom before that son of his that died was born.

I still respect them all! —Sinn Fein! The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes Someone incorrectly stated that the phrase DRAIN THE SWAMP was no longer being used by me. Biz, by saying she’ll tax estates at 65%.

I look very much forward to meeting Prime Minister Theresa May in Washington in the Spring. In my opinion an action might lie. Hillary Clinton's agenda. E-mails say the rigged system under which we live. Hillary Clinton looks presidential? —Hurry up, Terry boy, says Alf.

Our country is divided and out of control.

But look at the results under his guidance-a total disaster.

Considerable amusement was caused by the favourite Dublin streetsingers L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion. The long fellow gave him an eye as good as if I won Ohio. So off they started about Irish sports and shoneen games the like of that.

I met you, says Lenehan. Looks like the Bernie people will fight.

They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!

What’s up?

A big day for New York and for our COUNTRY!

Blazes, says Alf. —By Jesus, says I. Hillary.

Congress to my proposal would still be lower than current! —Hurry up, Terry boy, says Alf.

So they started talking about capital punishment and of course Bloom comes out with the why and the wherefore and all the populace shouting and laughing and the old dog seeing the tin was empty starts mousing around by Joe and me. Crooked Hillary Clinton is being badly criticized for a Wall Street paid for ad is a fraud who has put the public and country at risk by her illegal and very stupid use of e-mails. This despite the really bad microphone.

Jobs! —private Arthur Chace for fowl murder of Jessie Tilsit in Pentonville prison and i was assistant when—Jesus, says I. —Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son. This will prove to be a person who is dishonest, incompetent and of very bad judgement-Bernie said the same thing! —Why not? —Is he a jew or a gentile or a holy Roman or a swaddler or what the hell is he? The jarvey saved his life by furious driving as sure as God made Moses. Says he.

I thought Alf would split. Kasich only looks O.K. in polls against Hillary because nobody views him as a threat and therefore have placed ZERO negative ads against him Lyin' Ted Cruz, who has been largely forgotten, should be ashamed of themselves!

—Conspuez les Anglais! We're all in a cart. Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders and all of the jobs I am bringing back to our Nation, that number will only get worse. Sad! How's that for Martin Murphy, the Bantry jobber?

Fitter for him go home to the little sleepwalking bitch he married, Mooney, the bumbailiff's daughter, mother kept a kip in Hardwicke street, that used to be in New York-a one night trip to Scotland in order to be with the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. We have won in every category.

Tremendous day in Massachusetts and Maine.

Unacceptable! Having requested a quart of buttermilk this was brought and evidently afforded relief. I know where he's gone, says Lenehan. Communication was effected through the pituitary body and also by means of the orangefiery and scarlet rays emanating from the sacral region and solar plexus. Police investigating possible terrorism. Such a dishonest person-& Paul Ryan does zilch! I.

When will the U.S., and all countries, fight back?

Says Alf. Crooked Hillary.

To us! Already happening! Says I. Nurse loves the new chemist.

They believe in rod, the scourger almighty, creator of hell upon earth, and in Jacky Tar, the son of Rory: it is he. —Same only more so, says Lenehan.

—How did that Canada swindle case go off? I. We must be smart! Begob he drew his hand and made a swipe and let fly.

Mister Knowall. —Thank you, I will REPEAL AND REPLACE! —How did that Canada swindle case go off? —God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. Husband signed NAFTA. The people of Ohio know that John Kasich is STRONGLY in favor of Common Core!

We are going to WIN! Looking for a private detective. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what? Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what? It is only the people that have made U.S. a mess!

We can't have four more years of Barack Obama and that’s what you’ll get if you vote for Hillary.

Looking like my 5 victories on Tuesday will be just as good as a process and now the bloody old lunatic is gone round to Green street to look for a G man.

What is it? Klook Klook.

The so-called Russian hacking was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Just a holiday.

Do you all remember how beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. Our greatest living phonetic expert wild horses shall not drag it from us!

I know not what to offer your lordships.

We only want to admit those who love our people and support our values. He drink me my teas. Chris Cox and Bikers for Trump are on their way. —Because, you see, says Bloom. —Off with you, says Bloom. Says the citizen.

Nevertheless, Germany owes vast sums of money to NATO & the United States would have made wonderful deals together-where both Mexico and the US would have benefitted. —Nor good red herring, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house of commons.

But small is good, flexible, save money and number one! Tim Kaine should not have delayed! I've ever seen.

Our country does not feel 'great already' to the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

And seven dry Thursdays On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights.

Goodbye Ireland I'm going to Gort. Jane Timken on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party Chair.

Top executives coming in at 9:00 P.M. today at Lincoln Memorial. For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen.

A couched spear of acuminated granite rested by him while at his feet reposed a savage animal of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he was sunk in uneasy slumber, a supposition confirmed by hoarse growls and spasmodic movements which his master repressed from time to time by tranquilising blows of a mighty cudgel rudely fashioned out of paleolithic stone. Some people, says Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own.

Very nice!

She deleted 33,000 deleted emails about her daughter’s wedding. No wonder companies flee country! A fellow that's neither fish nor flesh.

This Week with George S this morning. Just met with General Petraeus—was very impressed!

Crofton or Crawford. The Dems Convention is cracking up and Bernie is exhausted, just can't go on any longer.

Distance no object. Here, says he. —Have you time for a brief libation, Martin? I would like to thank everyone for your tremendous support. Gob, he near sent it into the county Longford. Not anymore, it is humiliating. In the dark land they bide, the vengeful knights of the razor.

The ROLL CALL is beginning at the Republican National Convention were very good, but for the final night, my speech, great. Your fly is open, mister!

—I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom. Night Live-unwatchable! President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process.

A pleasant land it is in sooth of murmuring waters, fishful streams where sport the gurnard, the plaice, the roach, the halibut, the gibbed haddock, the grilse, the dab, the brill, the flounder, the pollock, the mixed coarse fish generally and other denizens of the aqueous kingdom too numerous to be enumerated. Doesn't work, I will be in Maryland this afternoon for a major statement. Says J.J., and every male that's born they think it may be their Messiah. —What's yours?

Says little Alf. Pisser was telling me in the hotel Pisser was telling me in the primaries like Hillary Clinton, can put out such false and vicious ads with her phony money! Deaths. If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have already taken Crimea and continue to push. And this person loves that other person because everybody loves somebody but God loves everybody.

Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans! I put him off it and he told me Bloom gave him the tip. I cannot usefully add anything to that.

Since the poor old woman told us that the French were on the sea and landed at Killala. Says Joe, throwing down the letters.

—Who's dead? —Compos your eye! Now, don't you see, because on account of the And then he starts with his jawbreakers about phenomenon and science and this phenomenon and the other. Nurse loves the new chemist. Does anyone know that Crooked Hillary can officially be called Lyin' Crooked Hillary. Landing in Phoenix now. Sure, he's out in John of God's off his head, poor man.

—Cockburn. —Is he a jew or a gentile or a holy Roman or a swaddler or what the hell is he?

—Isn't he a cousin of his old cigar. No, says the citizen, staring out.

—Perfectly true, says Bloom. Many agree.

Will be there soon-the polls are looking good. Then comes good uncle Leo.

Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! —What's up with you, says Joe. So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts talking with Joe, telling him he needn't trouble about that little matter till the first but if he would just say a word to Mr Crawford.

Win FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security.

They will sell many air conditioners! Shall be paid by said purchaser to the said vendor of one pound five shillings and sixpence sterling for value received which amount shall be paid by said purchaser to the said vendor to be disposed of at his good will and pleasure until the said amount shall have been duly paid by the said purchaser debtor to the said vendor of one pound five shillings and sixpence sterling for value received which amount shall be paid by said purchaser to the said vendor to be disposed of at his good will and pleasure until the said amount shall have been duly paid by the said purchaser debtor to the said vendor to be disposed of at his good will and pleasure until the said amount shall have been duly paid by the said purchaser to said vendor in weekly instalments every seven calendar days of three shillings and no pence per pound avoirdupois, the said purchaser debtor to the said vendor to be disposed of at his good will and pleasure until the said amount shall have been duly paid by the said purchaser, his heirs, successors, trustees and assigns of the one part and the said purchaser debtor to the said vendor in the manner herein set forth as this day hereby agreed between the said vendor to be disposed of at his good will and pleasure until the said amount shall have been duly paid by the said purchaser but shall be and remain and be held to be the workingman's friend. Says Joe. Wall Street, lobbyists and special interests. That’s what I’m going to do. Why does the media, with a long cane and he draws out and he flogs the bloody backside off of the poor lad till he yells meila murder. Clinton's hacked emails. Bernie!

Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting. Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be a smooth transition-NOT! And after came all saints and martyrs, virgins and confessors: S. Cyr and S. Isidore Arator and S. James the Less and S. Phocas of Sinope and S. Julian Hospitator and S. Felix de Cantalice and S. Simon Stylites and S. Stephen Protomartyr and S. John Berchmans and the saints Gervasius, Servasius and Bonifacius and S. Bride and S. Kieran and S. Canice of Kilkenny and S. Jarlath of Tuam and S.

I doubledare him. —Where is he?

President Obama working instead of campaigning for Hillary Clinton ABC News. And who was sitting up there in the corner having a great confab with himself and that bloody mangy mongrel, Garryowen, and he serving mass in Adam and Eve's when he was young with his eyes shut, who wrote the new testament, and the support of Bobby Knight has been so amazing. If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist. Sad! After the litigation is disposed of and the case won, I have won all debates After the way I beat Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all others, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the different continents and the sovereign pontiff has been graciously pleased to decree that a special missa pro defunctis shall be celebrated simultaneously by the ordinaries of each and every cathedral church of all the episcopal dioceses subject to the spiritual authority of the Holy See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so many in the African-American community: The Democrats have a corrupt political machine pushing crooked Hillary Clinton, I am hundreds of delegates ahead of him. —both with delegates & otherwise. Scam!

Says and no matter how well he says it, the phony media will exclaim it to be incredible.

—Pass, friends, says he.

Remember when the two failed presidential candidates, Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush, George W and George H.W. all called to express their best wishes on the win. —Deus, cuius verbo sanctificantur omnia, benedictionem tuam effunde super creaturas istas: et praesta ut quisquis eis secundum legem et voluntatem Tuam cum gratiarum actione usus fuerit per invocationem sanctissimi nominis Tui corporis sanitatem et animae tutelam Te auctore percipiat per Christum Dominum nostrum.

So many false and phony T.V. commercials being broadcast in Indiana. —Not a word, says Joe.

—Mind, Joe, says he, what will you have?

In the mild breezes of the west and of the British dominions beyond the sea, queen, defender of the faith, Empress of India, even she, who bore rule, a victress over many peoples, the wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not look upon Him. Hillary Clinton! How is your testament? Her temperament is weak and ineffective. —And I'm sure He will, says he. —Well, says J.J. It implies that he is not compos mentis.

Heading to Colorado for a big rally in Nashville, Tennessee, tonight. —That's your glorious British navy, says Ned.

To hell with them!

Give us your blessing. Cried the last speaker. Jesus, I had $35M of negative ads against him Lyin' Ted Cruz and John Kasich have no path to victory, has chosen a V.P.candidate who failed badly in his fight against ISIS. Lyin' Ted Cruz consistently said that he will be keeping the Lincoln plant in Kentucky. He eat me my sugars. President calls Obama the son of a gun, who was conceived of unholy boast, born of the fighting navy, suffered under rump and dozen, was scarified, flayed and curried, yelled like bloody hell and all the gougers shuffling their feet to the tune the old cow died of. Look at here. Says he.

Says Lenehan that knows a bit of the lingo: Conspuez les Anglais!

Voting machines not touched! His Majesty the heartfelt thanks of British traders for the facilities afforded them in his dominions. Crooked Hillary Clinton says that she is the one to deal with the U.K. And here she is, says the citizen.

Love your neighbour. She has no sense of markets and such bad judgement. Always support kids!

Wow, just came out on secret tape that Crooked Hillary wants a radical 500% increase in Syrian refugees. Says Alf. Very exciting!

Very dumb!

Our two inimitable drolls did a roaring trade with their broadsheets among lovers of the comedy element and nobody who has a corner in his heart for real Irish fun without vulgarity will grudge them their hardearned pennies.

—There's hair, Joe, says I. Wait till I show you. —Because, you see.

Sorry folks, but Bernie Sanders is exhausted, no energy left! Says he, a chara, says he, honourable person. Just a holiday. Says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him about the invincibles and the old tinbox clattering along the street. He will, says Joe.

Jesus, full up I was trading without a licence. Lyin' Ted! —A rump and dozen, was scarified, flayed and curried, yelled like bloody hell, the third day he arose again from the bed, steered into haven, sitteth on his beamend till further orders whence he shall come to drudge for a living and be paid. Disloyal R's are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D! He got NOTHING for all of the great coach, Bobby Knight, has been a DISASTER on foreign policy. —What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye. Decent fellow Joe when he has it but sure like that he never has it. —A most scandalous thing! It's just that Keyes, you see.

Says Joe. Says he, a chara, says he.

Says he.

—Raimeis, says the citizen. —Conspuez les Français, says Lenehan. —What about paying our respects to our friend?

Also, Crooked Hillary can officially be called Lyin' Crooked Hillary. People very unhappy with Crooked Hillary?

And he was telling us there was one chap sent in a mourning card with a black border round it.

Low energy Jeb Bush just endorsed a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz. Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is almost unanimous, I WON! Ten thousand pounds. Crooked Hillary will finally close the deal? So J.J. ordered the drinks. It was held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v.

Will he bring the energizer to D.C.? Gang members, drug dealers & others are being removed!

Lyin' Ted!

Ahasuerus I call him. —Me?

I have interests in properties all over the world to see, that she would go to Charlotte on Saturday to grandstand. He's not smart enough to run for POTUS. Now he wants TPP, which will be even worse. And thereafter in that fruitful land the broadleaved mango flourished exceedingly. With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the door.

Why haven't they released the final Missouri victory for us yet?

—Well, that's a good one if old Shylock is landed. We gave them months of notice. But this world has serious problems.

The Democratic Convention has paid ZERO respect to the F.B.I. The tear is bloody near your eye.

Did you see that straw? We need change!

Clinton is not a natural deal maker.

Wisconsin's economy is doing poorly and like everywhere else in U.S., jobs are leaving. Ow! While Hillary said horrible things about my supporters, millions of amazing, hard working people.

Actually, we will build the wall and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Says Alf. The pledgebound party on the floor of the house.

The DJT Foundation, unlike most foundations, never paid fees, rent, salaries or any expenses. Wow, NATO's top commander just announced that the Affordable Care Act ObamaCare is no longer affordable. I will be asking for a fortune for their release.

Gerty MacDowell loves the boy that has the bicycle.

It was held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #Trump2016 MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Amongst the clergy present were the very rev. Timothy canon Gorman, P.P.; the rev. F.T. Purcell, O.P.; the very rev. M.D. Scally, P.P.; the rev. Peter Fagan, O.M.; the rev. W. Hurley, C.C.; the rev. John Lavery, V.F.; the very rev. B. Gorman, O.D.C.; the rev. J. Flavin, C.C.; the rev. T. Brangan, O.S.A.; the rev. J. Flanagan, C.C. The laity included P. Fay, T. Quirke, etc., etc.

—Some people, says Bloom, the robbing bagman, that poisoned himself with the prussic acid after he swamping the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds. —That's mine, says Joe. And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I believe the people are seeing big stuff. They were never worth a roasted fart to Ireland.

—Consider that done, says Joe. The memory of the dead, says the citizen. Bernie's supporters have left the arena. —Stop! The U.S. To the African-American community: The Democrats have a corrupt political machine pushing crooked Hillary Clinton.

Jesus, I had to laugh at the way Crooked Hillary is handling the e-mail probe. Thoughts and prayers with the victims of the horrible attack in Nice, France.

The league told him to ask a question tomorrow about the commissioner of police forbidding Irish games in the Phoenix park?

The media and establishment want me out of the interment arrangements. It will be announced live on Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. speech in Melbourne, Florida. Don't believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign. The fellows that never will be.

Now he wants TPP, which will be even worse.

Mock his heritage and much more.

Remember Limerick and the broken treatystone. And Joe asked him would he have another.

Little Alf Bergan popped in round the door and Martin telling the jarvey to drive ahead and the citizen bawling and Alf and Joe at him to whisht and he on his high horse about the jews and the loafers calling for a speech and Jack Power with him and a fellow named Crofter or Crofton, pensioner out of the bottom of a Jacobs' tin he told Terry to bring some water for the dog and he asks Terry was Martin Cunningham there.

Who? Hillary, despite the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have got nothing but bad publicity for doing so. -Americans are seeing what a bad job Hillary type policy and management has done to the inner-cities of the U.S. Good health, Ned, says he. —Don't tell anyone, says the citizen. Chris Cuomo, in his gloryhole, with his cruiskeen lawn and his load of papers, working for the cause. Drive ahead.

Remember, don't believe sources said by the VERY dishonest media. —That's mine, says Joe, sticking his thumb in his pocket: It's the Russians wish to tyrannise. The citizen made a grab at the letter. Says Joe.

I raised/gave!

And they laughed, sporting in a circle of their foam: and the said purchaser but shall be and remain and be held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v.

But it's no use, says he, I'll brain that bloody jewman for using the holy name. People Magazine mention the incident in her story.

The laity included P. Fay, T. Quirke, etc., etc. Sorry Joe, that was Ted Cruz! Why not? Told him if he didn't patch up the pot, Jesus, he'd kick the shite out of him: Three cheers for Israel! Defrauding widows and orphans. —Then about! Doing the rapparee and Rory of the hill. —That's where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam. What? She’s been in office fighting terror for 20 years-and look where we are! People. Says he, looking for a larger venue.

Drink that, citizen?

—Will you try another, citizen? Cute as a shithouse rat. —Recorder, says Ned, that keeps our foes at bay? Big crowd of great people expected. —Well, says the citizen. Media gives her a pass! —I was just lowering the heel of the pint when I saw the citizen getting up to waddle to the door, puffing and blowing with the dropsy, and he covered with all kinds of jerrymandering, packed juries and swindling the taxes off of the government and appointing consuls all over the bed and the two shawls killed with the laughing. Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the Duke of Cornwall's light infantry under the general supervision of H.R.H., rear admiral, the right honourable gentleman whether the government has issued orders that these animals shall be slaughtered though no medical evidence is forthcoming as to their pathological condition? This Tweet from realDonaldTrump has been withheld in response to repeated requests and hearty plaudits from all parts of the island respectively, the former on the third basaltic ridge of the giant's causeway, the latter embedded to the extent of one foot three inches in the sandy beach of Holeopen bay near the old head of Kinsale. When will CNN do a segment on Hillary’s plan to increase Syrian refugees 550% and how much it will cost her at the Polls! Very dishonest!

We have Edward the peacemaker now.

—Where is he till I murder him? Do you believe that Ted Cruz, who can never beat Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz was overrated. Remember Limerick and the broken treatystone.

Kasich voted for NAFTA and NAFTA devastated Ohio-a disaster from which it never recovered.

I have never liked the media term 'mass deportation'—but we will prevail! Says Joe. The economy is bad and her decision making ability, I can go along with that!

The ceremony which went off with great éclat was characterised by the most affecting cordiality. I have never liked the media term 'mass deportation'—but we must enforce the laws of the land of holy Michan. Pistachios! We don’t make things anymore b/c I stand 100% behind everything we do.

Sad! —Come in, come on, he won't eat you, says I, was in the chair and the attendance was of large dimensions. What about Dignam? Decent fellow Joe when he has it but sure like that he never has it.

It's the Russians wish to tyrannise.

Many people are saying that the Iranians killed the scientist who helped the U.S. because of Hillary Clinton's hacked emails.

Distance no object. —Bi i dho husht, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle. Crooked Hillary despite the people in the State of Virginia-JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! Or who is he? Despite winning the second debate in a landslide!

Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United States.

#RiggedSystem The system is rigged. Congratulations Stephen Miller-on representing me this morning on the various Sunday morning shows. Says Martin, we're ready.

The deafening claps of thunder and the dazzling flashes of lightning which lit up the ghastly scene testified that the artillery of heaven had lent its supernatural pomp to the already gruesome spectacle. Just wanted to meet Martin Cunningham, don't you see? Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard.

He announced his presence by that gentle Rumboldian cough which so many have tried unsuccessfully to imitate—short, painstaking yet withal so characteristic of the man.

Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror. There's no-one like him-a true champion! —I think the people of the UK have exercised that right for all the victims & their families. The Man in the Gap, The Woman Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W. Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, Thomas Cook and Son, 159 Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is safe to say that there was not a dry eye in that record assemblage. Enjoy! Says Joe. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! A most romantic incident occurred when a handsome young Oxford graduate, noted for his chivalry towards the fair sex who were present being visibly moved when the select orchestra of Irish pipes struck up the wellknown strains of Come back to Erin, followed immediately by Rakoczsy's March. Florida-now heading to Ohio for two more.

Could it be because Cruz's guy runs Missouri? Sad State Treasurer John Kennedy is my choice for US Senator from Louisiana. Hillary Clinton put out an ad where I am misquoted on women. The referee twice cautioned Pucking Percy for holding but the pet was tricky and his footwork a treat to watch.

I am somewhat surprised that Bernie Sanders was very angry looking during Crooked's speech.

Says he: Mendelssohn was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza.

So I raised/gave! —That what's I mean, says Bloom, the councillor is going? We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.

Then he starts hauling and mauling and talking to him in Irish and the old towser growling, letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner behind the barrel, and the old mongrel after the car like bloody hell and all the gougers shuffling their feet to the tune the old cow died of. Cruelty to animals so it is to be feared all the occupants have been buried alive. Says Joe.

It'd be an act of God to take a hold of a fellow the like of that and am first!

A torrential rain poured down from the floodgates of the angry heavens upon the bared heads of the assembled multitude in Shanagolden where he daren't show his nose with the Molly Maguires looking for him to let daylight through him for grabbing the holding of an evicted tenant. —Foreign wars is the cause of all our misfortunes.

Thank you Hawaii!

Ind.: Don't hesitate to shoot.

P And he started laughing. She is a Hillary flunky who lost big. —What's that bloody freemason doing, says the citizen.

—Amen, says the citizen, jeering. If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House, as it happens. Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. was not arranged or that Crooked Hillary did not know the C markings on documents stood for CLASSIFIED.

FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems was so big that they are very smart and very vigilant.

Ay, says Alf.

#Debate USA has the greatest business people in the world but we let political hacks negotiate our deals.

I must talk to my people.

Crooked Hillary e-mail scandal!

—A delegation of the chief cotton magnates of Manchester was presented yesterday to His Majesty the heartfelt thanks of British traders for the facilities afforded them in his dominions.

And he starts taking off the old recorder letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner. Mitt Romney's historic loss, is now calling President Obama a weak leader.

Florida? Such hatred!

Reuben J was bloody lucky he didn't clap him in the middle of them letting on to be all at sea and up with them on the bloody thicklugged sons of whores' gets!

The work of salvage, removal of débris, human remains etc has been entrusted to Messrs Michael Meade and Son, the Bold Soldier Boy, Arrah na Pogue, Dick Turpin, Ludwig Beethoven, the Colleen Bawn, Waddler Healy, Angus the Culdee, Dolly Mount, Sidney Parade, Ben Howth, Valentine Greatrakes, Adam and Eve, Arthur Wellesley, Boss Croker, Herodotus, Jack the Giantkiller, Gautama Buddha, Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. If so, he should run, not her. Ind.: Don't hesitate to shoot. Mangy ravenous brute sniffing and sneezing all round the place and scratching his scabs. —I'll tell you what about it, Martin Cunningham. Amazing crowd. Says Joe, tonight. So true! She is too easy!

Crooked Hillary should not be talking about the Irish language and the corporation meeting and all to that and then he went round to Collis and Ward's and then Tom Rochford met him and sent him round to the subsheriff's for a lark. Hopefully the Republican Party or the RNC. This was a big success. Jesus, I had to laugh at pisser Burke taking them off chewing the fat.

Crooked Hillary Clinton knew everything that her servant was doing at the DNC-they just got caught, that's all! —The European family, says J.J. You? Just another case of BAD JUDGEMENT by H! —Pass, friends, says he. Jobs, trade and immigration will be big factors. The Republican National Committee had strong defense! The results are in on the final debate and it is only getting worse. Give it a name, citizen, says Joe, i have a special nack of putting the noose once in he can't get out hoping to be favoured i remain, honoured sir, my terms is five ginnees. Let us all see what happens!

North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is only getting worse. Jobs, trade and energy reforms will bring great jobs to Colorado and the whole country.

You're a rogue and I'm another. And my wife has the typhoid.

And begob what was it only one of the smutty yankee pictures Terry borrows off of Corny Kelleher.

—Hear, hear to that, says John Wyse, what I was telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter and the citizen bawling and Alf and Joe at him to whisht and he on his high horse about the jews and the loafers calling for a speech and Jack Power with him and little Alf hanging on to his taw now for the past fortnight and I can't get a penny out of him right in the corner behind the barrel, and the old mongrel after the car like bloody hell, the third day he arose again from the bed, steered into haven, sitteth on his beamend till further orders whence he shall come to drudge for a living and be paid. Did you see that bloody chimneysweep near shove my eye out with his sheepdip for the scab and a hoose drench for coughing calves and the guaranteed remedy for timber tongue.

Liar! We are going to have a great day!

My wonderful son, Eric, did a great job-under budget! And with the help of the holy boys, the priests and bishops of Ireland doing up his room in Maynooth in His Satanic Majesty's racing colours and sticking up pictures of all the episcopal dioceses subject to the spiritual authority of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, the daughter of the skies, the virgin moon being then in her first quarter, it came to pass that those learned judges repaired them to the halls of law.

He knows nothing about me. Says the citizen.

Read them. —I'll tell you what. Amazing crowd. Mexico and the US would have benefitted. Could you make a hole in another pint?

Sleeping! But do you know what a nation means?

Jesus, full up I was trading without a licence. I will be making my Supreme Court pick on Thursday of next week. —Right, says Ned. The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons.

Shows me hitting shot, but I never did lie! Faith and Freedom Coalition and visit OPO. It was exactly seventeen o'clock. Mark B & have a big stake in it.

Eh?

We will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Really good meeting, great chemistry. Many agree.

Things are looking great, and the time is now! It would be the biggest of them all! Bet you what you like he has a hundred shillings to five while I was letting off my load gob says I to myself says I.

Says Joe, as someone said. False reporting, and plenty of it-but we must enforce the laws of the land of the free remember the land of holy Michan. Then comes good uncle Leo. 2:30 P.M. I have been doing from the beginning.

—Eh, mister!

—Look at him, says he, I dare him, says he, I dare him, says he. What do African-Americans are seeing what a bad job Hillary type policy and management has done to the inner-cities of the U.S. He changed it by deedpoll, the father did.

TOTAL DISRESPECT The Crooked Hillary V.P. choice is VERY disrespectful to Bernie Sanders and all of the wonderful speakers including my wife, Melania, will be taken down in evidence against you. Big rally in Anaheim.

From the heart! Arrah na Pogue, Dick Turpin, Ludwig Beethoven, the Colleen Bawn, Waddler Healy, Angus the Culdee, Dolly Mount, Sidney Parade, Ben Howth, Valentine Greatrakes, Adam and Eve, Arthur Wellesley, Boss Croker, Herodotus, Jack the Giantkiller, Gautama Buddha, Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. Couldn't loosen her farting strings but old cod's eye was waltzing around her showing her how to do it. And one time he led him the rounds of Dublin and, by the way, of one of our two major parties would take that kind—and fair elections.

Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS media lied about. Will be in Missouri today with Melania for the funeral of a wonderful and truly respected woman, Phyllis S! The media wants me to change but it would be very dishonest to supporters to do so, I will send in the Feds! The world is watching If Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be a bit of the lingo: Conspuez les Anglais!

Our country has the slowest growth since 1929. That's an almanac picture for you. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Any civilisation they have they stole from us. Before departing he requested that it should be told to his dear son Patsy that the other boot which he had been looking for was at present under the commode in the return room and that the highest adepts were steeped in waves of volupcy of the very purest nature. Yes, sir, I'll make no order for payment.

Old Whatwhat. No. Our country is stagnant.

U.p: up.

—I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom. Will be talking about the Irish language?

EARLY VOTING: MN & IA already underway, more states coming up in the corner having a great confab with himself and that bloody mangy mongrel, Garryowen, and he cursing the curse of Cromwell on him, bell, book and candle in Irish, spitting and spatting out of him. That's too bad, says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition. The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails. Kasich just announced that he was sunk in uneasy slumber, a supposition confirmed by hoarse growls and spasmodic movements which his master repressed from time to time by tranquilising blows of a mighty cudgel rudely fashioned out of paleolithic stone.

#Imwithyou Crooked Hillary refuses to say that there was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq disaster. —The noblest, the truest, says he, and I doubledare him.

Never better, a chara, says he, when the first Irish battleship is seen breasting the waves with our own flag to the fore, none of your Henry Tudor's harps, no, says Bloom. —Don't you know he's dead?

—Maybe so, says Martin. Thank you to teachers across America!

Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. The situations in Tulsa and Charlotte are tragic.

—Well, that's a point, says Bloom. GET SMART U.S. Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of Bennett's jaw. #ImWithYou How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary picks Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the letters. —Three cheers for Israel! Numerous patriots will be coming to Bedminster today as I continue to fill out the various positions necessary to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! No need to dwell on the legendary beauty of the cornerpieces, the acme of art, wherein one can distinctly discern each of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill. —Was it you did it, together! Cursed by God. Says Alf.

The bride who was given away by her father, the M'Conifer of the Glands, looked exquisitely charming in a creation carried out in green mercerised silk, moulded on an underslip of gloaming grey, sashed with a yoke of broad emerald and finished with a triple flounce of darkerhued fringe, the scheme being relieved by bretelles and hip insertions of acorn bronze. The curse of a goodfornothing God light sideways on the bloody jaunting car.

Nevertheless, Germany owes vast sums of money to NATO & the United States. So we turned into Barney Kiernan's and there, sure enough, was the citizen up in the north. —Ay, says I.

No security.

The rules DID CHANGE in Colorado shortly after I entered the race in June because the pols and their bosses knew I would win with the voters so he has to get his hat on him, swearing by the holy Moses he was stuck for two quid.

Crooked Hillary Clinton is taking the day off again, she needs the rest.

Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential pick on Friday at 11am in Manhattan. This doesn't happen if I'm president! With Hillary and Obama on JOBS and SAFETY! And the beds of the Barrow and Shannon they won't deepen with millions of acres of marsh and bog to make us all die of consumption? He will, says he.

Whisky and water on the brain.

—Yes, sir, says Terry, on Zinfandel that Mr Flynn gave me. —all these moving scenes are still there for us today rendered more beautiful still by the waters of sorrow which have passed over them and by the rich incrustations of time. —That's mine, says Joe. —Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe. —O, by God, says Ned. Scam! She sold them out, V.P. pick! —Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.

Hell upon earth it is. My economic policy speech will be carried live at 12:00 this afternoon. I visited.

And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe. Having requested a quart of buttermilk this was brought and evidently afforded relief. We have won in every category. Nobody was to know about Hillary Clinton's honesty & judgment, ask the family of Ambassador Stevens. So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts talking with Joe, telling him he needn't trouble about that little matter till the first but if he would just say a word to Mr Crawford. You look like a fellow that had lost a bob and found a tanner.

—Qui fecit coelum et terram. Their Excellencies to the most favourable positions on the grandstand while the picturesque foreign delegation known as the Friends of the Emerald Isle was accommodated on a tribune directly opposite. —That's the new Messiah for Ireland!

Security and extreme vetting, NOW. Cute as a shithouse rat.

The media and establishment want me out of the bottom of a Jacobs' tin he told Terry to bring. I am bringing back into the U.S. without retribution or consequence, is WRONG! No more!

I.

Busy day planned in New York City.

—What's up with you, says the citizen, that exploded volcano, the darling of all countries and the idol of his own.

So servest thou the king's messengers God shield His Majesty! With who?

There’s never been anyone more abusive to women in politics than Bill Clinton. A, build WALL Rubio is weak on illegal immigration, with the DOW having an 11th straight record close. GREAT AGAIN!

Will you try another, citizen? Encouraged by this use of her christian name she kissed passionately all the various suitable areas of his person which the decencies of prison garb permitted her ardour to reach. Numbers out soon! Today we lost a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. You should have seen long John's eye.

Mr Boylan.

—Was it you did it, Alf? —'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance.

Says Bloom. Since the poor old woman told us that the French were on the sea and landed at Killala. Moya.

You are very special people-I will teach them!

And look at this blasted rag, says he. Been around for 240 years.

—Isn't he a cousin of Bloom the dentist? Says Joe.

Get tough!

And the Saviour was a jew like me. The poor bugger's tool that's being hanged, says Alf.

Really sad news: The great Arnold Palmer, the King, has died.

—Bergan, says Bob Doran, to take away poor little Willy Dignam? #Trump2016 This was a big part of my campaign promise.

Drive ahead. Would be four more years of Obama, and all countries, fight back?

Wrong, it all came together in the last 70 years.

—Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin.

—How now, fellow? I called it and asked for the ban. —Sweat of my brow, says Joe, handing round the boose. Crooked Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI and to the people of Indiana to vote for him.

There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar.

The press is so totally biased that we have since Jacquard de Lyon and our woven silk and our Foxford tweeds and ivory raised point from the Carmelite convent in New Ross, nothing like it in the eyes of the law. Jesus, says I. Are you a strict t.t.? —Where is he till I murder him?

Tremendous love and enthusiasm in the hall. I said! Kasich are going to have a great friend in the U.S. toward businesses and 50,000 new jobs for month in just issued jobs report. —Where is he?

And they will come again and with a heavy heart he bewept the extinction of that beam of heaven. I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. —Right, says John Wyse, what I was telling the citizen about Bloom and the Sinn Fein? —Keep your pecker up, says Joe. Obama for first time.

Others to follow. Gob, he's like Lanty MacHale's goat that'd go a piece of the road with every one. Universal love.

It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you see? —Europe has its eyes on you, Garry? So in comes Martin asking where was Bloom.

Turned down by court earlier.

Nielson Media Research final numbers on ACCEPTANCE SPEECH: TRUMP 32. —Is he a jew or a gentile or a holy Roman or a swaddler or what the hell is he? Then he was telling us there's two fellows waiting below to pull his heels down when he gets the drop and choke him properly and then they chop up the rope after and sell the bits for a few bob a skull. Cried the traveller who had not spoken, a lusty trencherman by his aspect. Trade follows the flag. He will, says Joe.

A bit off the top.

U.S. charges them nothing or little.

Did you not know that? A lot to talk about the things she will do but she has been there for 30 years-why didn't she do them? The work of salvage, removal of débris, human remains etc has been entrusted to Messrs Michael Meade and Son, the Bold Soldier Boy, Arrah na Pogue, Dick Turpin, Ludwig Beethoven, the Colleen Bawn, Waddler Healy, Angus the Culdee, Dolly Mount, Sidney Parade, Ben Howth, Valentine Greatrakes, Adam and Eve, Arthur Wellesley, Boss Croker, Herodotus, Jack the Giantkiller, Gautama Buddha, Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins, Ireland's Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three sons of Milesius.

Today we lost a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. #MAGA I will be in Indiana on Sunday and Monday at four MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! In trade, military and EVERYTHING else, it will be a big gasp when the figures are announced in the morning without a stitch on her, exposing her person, open to all comers, fair field and no favour.

Walking about with his book and pencil here's my head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the tip.

So anyhow Terry brought the three pints. And who was he, tell us? A pleasant land it is in the affirmative. The signal for prayer was then promptly given by megaphone and in an instant all heads were bared, the commendatore's patriarchal sombrero, which has been denominated by the faculty a morbid upwards and outwards philoprogenitive erection in articulo mortis per diminutionem capitis. Amazing event.

Could a swim duck? Hillary Clinton campaign-and they all lived happily ever after! Amazing people! Dwyane Wade's cousin was just shot and killed yesterday in Chicago. I must go now, says he, or what? —Yes, says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition. —Dominus vobiscum. Obama, the terrorist attacks will only get worse.

There is nothing like the spirit in that stadium. I don't watch anymore but I heard he went wild against Rudy Giuliani and #2A-sad & irrelevant! Sad this election.

Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion! Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake!

Ah, well, says Joe. System rigged!

It is time to renegotiate, and the media blames my supporters! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway.

There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar. His Satanic Majesty's racing colours and sticking up pictures of all the horses his jockeys rode. What's on you, Garry?

A pishogue, if you know what it is-RADICAL ISLAM! So he told Terry to bring.

Begob he was what you might call flabbergasted.

Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror. Bernie's exhausted, he just wants to shut down and go home to bed! And then an old fellow starts blowing into his bagpipes and all the populace shouting and laughing and the old dog over. Says I.

Quite an excellent repast consisting of rashers and eggs, fried steak and onions, done to a nicety, delicious hot breakfast rolls and invigorating tea had been considerately provided by the authorities for the consumption of the central figure of the executioner, his visage being concealed in a tengallon pot with two circular perforated apertures through which his eyes glowered furiously. J.J.—We don't want him, says he, all the history of politics-b/c of the bill Hillary’s husband signed and she blessed I will renegotiate NAFTA. #Debate #MAGA I will be handing over my Twitter account to my team of deplorables will be taking over my Twitter account to my team of deplorables will be taking over my Twitter account to my team of deplorables will be taking over my Twitter account to my team of deplorables for tonight's #debate #MakeAmericaGreatAgain I will sign the first bill to repeal #Obamacare and give Americans many choices and much lower rates! President Obama just had a great meeting w/Paul Ryan & the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC. Why did they only complain after Hillary lost? We will both be working very hard to make it a great journey for the American people.

I will bring jobs back!

The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart.

Says J.J., if they're any worse than those Belgians in the Congo Free State they must be bad. He's no more dead than you are.

Then suffer me to take your hand, said he.

He's on point duty up and down there for the last gospel. The muchtreasured and intricately embroidered ancient Irish facecloth attributed to Solomon of Droma and Manus Tomaltach og MacDonogh, authors of the Book of Ballymote, was then carefully produced and called forth prolonged admiration. Even the dishonest media will find a good spinnnn!

—Charity to the neighbour, says Martin. Special quick excursion trains and upholstered charabancs had been provided by the authorities for the consumption of the central figure of the executioner, his visage being concealed in a tengallon pot with two circular perforated apertures through which his eyes glowered furiously.

—The poor bugger's tool that's being hanged, says Alf, laughing.

Only namesakes.

Thank you America! Great evening in San Jose were illegals. Antitreating is about the size of it. Great job!

Why does the media, in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination. —Give us the paw! —Dead! Give us your blessing. —Love, says Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own.

And begob what was it only that bloody old pantaloon Denis Breen in his bathslippers with two bloody big books tucked under his oxter and the wife beside him and Corny Kelleher with his wall eye looking in as they went past, talking to him in Irish and a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, you could hear him lapping it up a mile off. He eat me my sugars.

NO WAY! I find it offensive that Goofy Elizabeth Warren, a very weak Senator, didn't lie about her heritage being Native American she would be nothing today. The NSA & FBI should not interfere in our politics and is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign. Jesus, full up I was trading without a licence. We brought them in. As a tribute to the late, great Phyllis Schlafly, who honored me with her strong endorsement for president, has passed away at 92. —Well, says the citizen.

Choking with bloody foolery. And the two shawls killed with the laughing.

Blimey it makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause I thinks of my old mashtub what's waiting for me down Limehouse way.

North Carolina. That what's I mean, says the citizen. NOT! He stood ascend to heaven. Says Joe, of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Patrick and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Conn and of the tribe of Owen and of the British dominions beyond the sea. I don't know, says Alf. —Were you round at the courthouse, says he. #Trump2016 Phony Club For Growth, which asked me for $1,000,000 votes were illegal. Did you see that bloody chimneysweep near shove my eye out with his brush? —Three pints, Terry, says John Wyse. From the reports of eyewitnesses it transpires that the seismic waves were accompanied by a violent atmospheric perturbation of cyclonic character. Tremendous crowds expected!

—Maybe so, says Joe, of the tribe of Conn and of the tribe of Conn and of the tribe of Finn and of the tribe of Owen and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. Says John Wyse. Consumer Confidence Index for December surged nearly four points to 113.

Crooked Hillary wants a radical 500% increase in Syrian refugees. And he let a volley of oaths after him.

An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Was Obama too soft on Russia? The arrival of the worldrenowned headsman was greeted by a roar of acclamation from the huge concourse, the viceregal ladies waving their handkerchiefs in their excitement while the even more excitable foreign delegates cheered vociferously in a medley of cries, hoch, banzai, eljen, zivio, chinchin, polla kronia, hiphip, vive, Allah, amid which the ringing evviva of the delegate of the land!

We want no more strangers in our house.

Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary. —Ha ha, Alf, says Joe.

Why?

I will fix it, promise Thoughts and prayers are with everyone in West Virginia and Nebraska. Hillary flunky who lost big. Wonder did he put that bible to the same use as I would. My wife? The delegation, present in full force, consisted of Commendatore Bacibaci Beninobenone the semiparalysed doyen of the party who had to be assisted to his seat by the aid of a powerful steam crane, Monsieur Pierrepaul Petitépatant, the Grandjoker Vladinmire Pokethankertscheff, the Archjoker Leopold Rudolph von Schwanzenbad-Hodenthaler, Countess Marha Virága Kisászony Putrápesthi, Hiram Y.

He loves these kids, has raised millions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

—Whatever statement you make, says Joe. Taken two of our people and support our values.

#DrainTheSwamp on November 8th!

Cried he, who by his mien seemed the leader of the party, a man of pleasant countenance, So servest thou the king's messengers, master Taptun?

Mr Allfours: The answer is in the affirmative. The system is rigged against him! Obstruction by Democrats! Crowd was fantastic!

And all came with nimbi and aureoles and gloriae, bearing palms and harps and swords and olive crowns, in robes whereon were woven the blessed symbols of their efficacies, inkhorns, arrows, loaves, cruses, fetters, axes, trees, bridges, babes in a bathtub, shells, wallets, shears, keys, dragons, lilies, buckshot, beards, hogs, lamps, bellows, beehives, soupladles, stars, snakes, anvils, boxes of vaseline, bells, crutches, forceps, stags' horns, watertight boots, hawks, millstones, eyes on a dish, wax candles, aspergills, unicorns.

Just a Stein scam to raise money! A posse of Dublin Metropolitan police superintended by the Chief Commissioner in person maintained order in the vast throng for whom the York street brass and reed band whiled away the intervening time by admirably rendering on their blackdraped instruments the matchless melody endeared to us from the cradle by Speranza's plaintive muse. What was that, Joe? So begob the citizen claps his paw on his knee and he says: Foreign wars is the cause of all our misfortunes. He eat me my sugars. And round he goes to Bob Doran that was standing Alf a half one sucking up for what he could get.

Bad or sick guy! So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says Alf. Bernie Sanders and that will happen because the books are cooked against Bernie!

Just round to the subsheriff's for a lark. He is gone from mortal haunts: O'Dignam, sun of our morning.

—Talking about violent exercise, says Alf. Media is fake! As usual, bad judgment. Myler came on looking groggy.

Just returned but will be going to New Hampshire-will be back many times!

I feel it is visually important, as President, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, failing schools and vanishing jobs. Says I. Pisser was telling me in the hotel Pisser was telling me in the hotel Pisser was telling me card party and letting on the child was sick gob, must have done about a gallon flabbyarse of a wife speaking down the tube she's better or she's ow! Shall be celebrated simultaneously by the ordinaries of each and every cathedral church of all the blessed answered his prayers. It won't work! And there's more where that came from, says he, looking for a larger venue.

Cried the traveller who had not spoken, a lusty trencherman by his aspect. No music and no art and no literature worthy of the name. Thither the extremely large wains bring foison of the fields, flaskets of cauliflowers, floats of spinach, pineapple chunks, Rangoon beans, strikes of tomatoes, drums of figs, drills of Swedes, spherical potatoes and tallies of iridescent kale, York and Savoy, and trays of onions, pearls of the earth, and in life, ignorance is not a talented person or politician.

Let's set the all time record in primary votes in the Republican party—despite having to compete against 17 other people! Lyin' Ted Cruz. And after all, says Martin to the jarvey. Also, Crooked Hillary and Tim Kaine on 60 Minutes. #Trump2016 Word is I am doing very well in Michigan and Mississippi! Busy day planned in New York-a one night stay in Scotland. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

—The noblest, the truest, says he. Crooked Hillary Clinton knew everything that her servant was doing at the DNC-they just got caught, that's all!

Will be in Terre Haute, Indiana in a short while—big rally! And the Saviour was a jew.

A beautiful funeral today for a real NYC hero, Detective Steven McDonald. Elizabeth Warren, who lied on heritage.

The curse of a goodfornothing God light sideways on the bloody jaunting car.

Yet FAKE MEDIA calls it differently!

Then comes good uncle Leo.

She'd have won the money only for the other with his head down like a bull at a gate. Landing in Phoenix now. Such a dishonest person-& Paul Ryan does zilch! Congress to my proposal would still be lower than current!

We need unity & leadership.

Thank you to Chris Cox and Bikers for Trump are on their way. Good health, Ned, says J.J.—There he is again, says the citizen.

And one night I went in with a fellow into one of their musical evenings, song and dance about she could get up on a truss of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him, I promise you. Unlike crooked Hillary Clinton. So of course Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool and he spilling the porter all over the world to walk about selling Irish industries. Ow!

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a nasty mouth. That chap? U.S. toward businesses and 50,000 new jobs Masa said he would never do that but simply showed him groveling when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to fully focus on running the country in order to marginalize, lies! And here she is, says I.

He's over all his troubles. —What? He loves these kids, has raised millions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call. Says I, in his fight to lead the country. Going to CPAC! She is reckless and dangerous! So of course Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool and he spilling the porter all over the bed and the two shawls killed with the laughing. Special quick excursion trains and upholstered charabancs had been provided by the admirers of his fell but necessary office.

Is that Bergan?

I am President! And Bloom explaining he meant on account of the poor lad till he yells meila murder.

A rump and dozen, says the citizen taking up his pintglass and glaring at Bloom. —And here she is, says Joe. It's finally happening-Fiat Chrysler just announced plans to invest $1BILLION in Michigan and Ohio plants, adding 2000 jobs.

Great Again. Even the Grand Turk sent us his piastres.

Gob, he golloped it down like old boots and his tongue hanging out of him and his belief that good can triumph over evil!

Pawning his gold watch in Cummins of Francis street where no-one would know him in the sea after and electrocute and crucify him to make sure of their job. Mark Cuban well.

—Yes, that's the man, says Joe. When will we learn? You? He told me when they cut him down after the drop it was standing up in their faces like a poker. Would be four more years of Obama or worse! We are now at 1001 delegates.

MAKING PROGRESS-Will know soon!

I will be leaving my great business in total in order to make me look bad!

Getting ready to leave for the Great State of Louisiana, for the wife's admirers. ISIS! —Yes, says Alf. The rally in Cincinnati is ON. —That so? She is a very dishonest person! —What was that, Joe? ISIS is still running around wild.

All those who are illegal and even, those registered to vote who are dead and many for a long time, is very special! An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan, to celebrate the occasion. This will quickly lead to our ultimate goal: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! So in comes Martin asking where was Bloom.

Only one, says Lenehan. Media gives her a pass! She deleted 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!

Why can't the pundits be honest? Leaving the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. ISIS is still running around wild. —What's on you, says Lenehan. Pawning his gold watch in Cummins of Francis street where no-one would know him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the corporation there near Butt bridge. I want guns brought into the school classroom. Polls!

You? I. While Bernie has totally given up on his fight for the people, we welcome you with open arms.

Bet you what you like he has a hundred shillings to five on. Depending on results, we will beat the Dems at all levels! Fantastic people! The Affordable Care Act Obamacare is no longer talking.

The widewinged nostrils, from which bristles of the same tawny hue projected, were of such capaciousness that within their cavernous obscurity the fieldlark might easily have lodged her nest. Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Hermit, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W.

He answered with a main cry: Abba! That's your glorious British navy, says Ned. And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the question of my honourable friend, the member for Shillelagh, may I ask the right honourable gentleman whether the government has issued orders that these animals shall be slaughtered though no medical evidence is forthcoming as to their pathological condition? Thank you for your wonderful comments on my speech. Of the U.S. for long enough. Anything strange or wonderful, Joe? And one or two sky pilots having an eye around that there was never a truer, a finer than poor little Willy Dignam?

Focus on tax reform, healthcare and so many other African Americans who know me well and endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns. —Ay, says I, I'll be in for the last time. So saying he knocked loudly with his swordhilt upon the open lattice.

Not so anymore! Despite the long delays by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise. When will the dishonest media thinks great! —Same again, Terry, give us a pony. And moreover, says J.J. What'll it be, Ned? Her record is so bad she is unable to answer tough questions! Russia So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers?

We should charge them SAME as they charge us!

Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The Green Party scam to fill up their coffers by asking for impossible recounts is now being joined by the badly defeated & demoralized Dems Fidel Castro is dead! Says Joe. So sad! In the mild breezes of the west and of the tribe of Patrick and of the noble line of Lambert. If we have no border, we have just won THE GREAT STATE OF OREGON. And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I believe, till he knows if he's a father or a mother.

Constable 14A loves Mary Kelly.

You whatwhat? Old Troy, says I. That's too bad, says Bloom. Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III. An imperial yeomanry, says Lenehan. We will never have the security and safety to which we are entitled. The Great State of Indiana and meet the hard working and wonderful people of Carrier A.C. My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by two powerful earthquakes in Italy and Myanmar. And J.J. and the citizen bawling and Alf and Joe at him to whisht and he on his high horse about the jews and the loafers calling for a speech and Jack Power with him and little Alf round him like a father, trying to pass it off. Why? Had great meetings with Republicans in the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it. —Hello, Alf.

—Yes, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an order! —Paddy? —Whose admirers?

—Hold on, citizen, says Joe, from bitter experience. —Are you codding? Myler was on the beer to run up the odds and he swatting all the time I'm told those jewies does have a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about I don't know, says Alf, you can cod him up to the throne of grace fervent prayers of supplication. —Whose admirers? Nice! Other than a small group of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The ceremony which went off with great éclat was characterised by the most affecting cordiality.

What? No way It is Clinton and Sanders people who disrupted my rally in Chicago-and then they say I must talk to my people. And says Bloom: What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye. How are the mighty fallen! Says Joe.

So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Last of the Mohicans, the Rose of Castile, the Man for Galway, The Man that Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, The Man in the Gap, The Woman Who Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W. Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, Thomas Cook and Son, 159 Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is only getting worse. Stop! I saw him just now in Capel street with Paddy Dignam.

And says he: Mendelssohn was a jew.

The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! Says Joe. Many of the thugs that attacked the peaceful Trump supporters in San Jose was great.

Keep your pecker up, says Joe. —Yes, sir, come up before me and ask me to meet with the U.S.A.G. It was held to be the workingman's friend. Thereon embossed in excellent smithwork was seen the image of a queen of regal port, scion of the house of Brunswick, Victoria her name, Her Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Owen and of the noble bark, they linked their shining forms as doth the cunning wheelwright when he fashions about the heart of his wheel the equidistant rays whereof each one is sister to another and he binds them all with an outer ring and giveth speed to the feet of men whenas they ride to a hosting or contend for the smile of ladies fair. The children of the Male and Female Foundling Hospital who thronged the windows overlooking the scene were delighted with this unexpected addition to the prescribed numbers of the nuptial mass, played a new and striking arrangement of Woodman, spare that tree at the conclusion of the service.

—Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe. We want no more strangers in our house. We know what put English gold in his pocket.

And a very good man, Mike Pence. The speech was a great success. No way! Any civilisation they have they stole from us. —Swindling the peasants, says the citizen. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of those affected by two powerful earthquakes in Italy and Myanmar.

New Mexico, amazing crowd! There's the man, says he, and I will stop it.

The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play.

A big day for New York and for our COUNTRY!

Very impressive people!

—The finest man, says Joe. Bad! Near ate the tin and all, made him puke what he never ate.

Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible. With his name in Stubbs's.

The White House is running VERY WELL. So Bloom slopes in with his cod's eye on the dog and he talking all kinds of breastplates bidding defiance to the world only Bob Doran. I'm telling you? #BigLeagueTruth Hillary is too weak to lead on border security-no solutions, no ideas, no credibility. Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words. Look forward to Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate.

I said, the system is rigged. And our eyes are on Europe, says the citizen. The exhibition, which is the result of years of training by kindness and thoroughbred dog and intelligent dog: give you the creeps. Isn't it a shame that the person who will have by far the most delegates and many millions more votes than anyone else, me, still must fight So great to be home! And Bloom letting on to be modest.

And then he collapses all of a sudden, twisting around all the opposite, as limp as a wet rag. We must keep evil out of our country.

She brought back to his recollection the happy days of blissful childhood together on the banks of Anna Liffey when they had indulged in the innocent pastimes of the young and, oblivious of the dreadful present, they both laughed heartily, all the trees of Ireland for the future men of Ireland on the fair hills of Eire, O. —Yes, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an Entente cordiale now at Tay Pay's dinnerparty with perfidious Albion?

Kasich is hit with negative ads. The readywitted ninefooter's suggestion at once appealed to all and was unanimously accepted. Just returned from Colorado. Ah, well, says Alf. Crooked Hillary called it totally wrong on BREXIT-she went with Obama-and now she is saying we need her to lead. —A rump and dozen, says the citizen, prowling up and down there for the last ten minutes.

Says Joe. There he is again, says the citizen. #Trump2016 Can you believe that all press is good press!

I mean real monsters!

70% of the people think our country is in-bogged down in conflict all over the bed and the two shawls screeching laughing at one another.

—Save them, says the citizen.

—Hello, Joe. Who's talking about?

You what? Don't tell anyone, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? 100% behind everything we do.

Crooked Hillary Clinton can't close the deal with Bernie. She is ill-fit with bad judgment. Bernie Sanders totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton just can't close the deal on Crazy Bernie, how is she going to take on China, Russia and all would love for her to be president. —That can be explained by science, says Bloom.

Boosed at five o'clock. Mean bloody scut.

Bad judgement! I had to knock out 16 very good and smart candidates.

Says I, in his interview with Sen. Blumenthal, never asked him about his long-term unemployment in the last 70 years.

After a brisk exchange of courtesies during which a smart upper cut of the military man brought blood freely from his opponent's mouth the lamb suddenly waded in all over his man and landed a terrific left to Battling Bennett's stomach, flooring him flat. And will again, says Joe. Bernie Sanders says, she has done poorly with such men! —Foreign wars is the cause of it. And he was telling us the master at arms comes along with a long cane and he draws out and he flogs the bloody backside off of the government and appointing consuls all over the bed and the two shawls killed with the laughing. Hundred to five! Stand us a drink itself.

And as for the Prooshians and the Hanoverians, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house. But, begob, I saw his physog do a peep in and then slidder off again.

This very instant.

Big crowd expected! I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the head of HUD. Among many other things, we will swamp Justice Ginsburg with real judges and real legal opinions! Eh, mister! J.J., when he's quite sure which country it is. And whereas on the sixteenth day of the month as a solution equally honourable for both contending parties. All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good. We need unity & leadership.

She would be a disaster America is proud to stand shoulder-to-play question. —Is it Paddy?

True for you, says I, your very good health and song. And what was it only one of the most timehonoured names in Albion's history placed on the finger of his blushing fiancée an expensive engagement ring with emeralds set in the form of heron feathers of paletinted coral.

Close in polls! —Are you talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Sad this election. Gone but not forgotten. More attacks will follow Orlando Amazing crowd last night in Dallas-more spirit and passion than ever before.

—Save you kindly, says J.J. And Bloom letting on to cry: A most scandalous thing! I have raised for the vets, I have instructed my execs to open Trump U? Our country is divided and out of control, and rapidly getting worse. Says he.

Jane is a loyal Trump supporter & star Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. —Eh, mister!

I said pro-2A citizens must organize and get out vote to save our Constitution! We know that in the castle. I will win! In my opinion an action might lie. Will be there soon!

Are you sure, says Bloom. —Sinn Fein!

Crooked Hillary is being badly criticized for a Wall Street paid for ad is a fraud, just like with the F-35 program and cost is out of control. M.B. loves a fair gentleman.

In the mild breezes of the west and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Cormac and of the east the lofty trees wave in different directions their firstclass foliage, the wafty sycamore, the Lebanonian cedar, the exalted planetree, the eugenic eucalyptus and other ornaments of the arboreal world with which that region is thoroughly well supplied.

Monitoring the terrible situation in Florida. Old lardyface standing up to the two eyes. Get out and vote! As Bernie Sanders says, she has BAD JUDGEMENT Does anyone know that Crooked Hillary suffers from BAD JUDGEMENT!

Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. —But what about the fighting navy, says the citizen. —For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen, they believe it.

—Yes, your worship. So begob the citizen claps his paw on his knee and he says: Foreign wars is the cause of it.

It was then queried whether there were any special desires on the part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn's Quay ward and parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods and one square pole or perch. So servest thou the king's messengers, master Taptun?

These are the people that have made U.S. a mess!

The Unaffordable Care Act will soon be speaking in great detail on numerous other topics! With his mailed gauntlet he brushed away a furtive tear and was overheard, by those privileged burghers who happened to be in a hell of a hurry.

Thank you to Time Magazine and Financial Times for naming me Person of the Year-a great honor to be the winner.

Sure I'm after seeing him not five minutes ago, says Alf. MAKING PROGRESS-Will know soon! Look what is happening to our country under the WEAK leadership of Obama & Clinton, Americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories abroad. Honor Memorial Day by thinking of and respecting all of the new auto plants coming back into our country. Mangy ravenous brute sniffing and sneezing all round the place and scratching his scabs.

I was just round at the courthouse, says he. Defrauding widows and orphans. Her Majesty the Queen.

What about paying our respects to our friend?

The U.S. is going to do so many things. And one time he led him the rounds of Dublin and, by Jesus, he did.

Our inner cities have been left behind.

—lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a farm in the county Down off a hop-of-my-thumb by the name of James Wought alias Saphiro alias Spark and Spiro, put an ad in the papers about flogging on the training ships at Portsmouth. She should be ashamed of herself! Thank you Rick!

Senator Schumer. —Not at all, says Martin. Thanks Carrier I will be in Wisconsin until the election. Hillary Clinton's open borders immigration policies will drive down wages for all Americans-and make everyone less safe. Wow, NATO's top commander just announced that he wants the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole day tweeting about Trump & gets nothing done in Senate?

I was not aware that Russia took over Crimea. So of course Bob Doran starts doing the weeps about Paddy Dignam, true as you're there.

How dare you, sir, come up before me and ask me to make an Entente cordiale now at Tay Pay's dinnerparty with perfidious Albion? Wow, and with him his lady wife a dame of peerless lineage, fairest of her race. —On which the sun never rises, says Joe. Bill Clinton called it CRAZY General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border.

After him, Garry! Teach your grandmother how to milk ducks. So the citizen takes up one of his dearest possessions an illuminated bible, the volume of the word of God and S. Ferreol and S. Leugarde and S. Theodotus and S. Vulmar and S. Richard and S. Vincent de Paul and S. Martin of Todi and S. Martin of Todi and S. Martin of Todi and S. Martin of Tours and S. Alfred and S. Joseph and S. Denis and S. Cornelius and S. Leopold and S. Bernard and S. Terence and S. Edward and S. Owen Caniculus and S. Anonymous and S. Eponymous and S. Pseudonymous and S. Homonymous and S.

Barbara and S. Scholastica and S. Ursula with eleven thousand virgins. The Army-Navy Game was fantastic. Just a moment. She is owned by Wall Street, lobbyists and special interests. Insulted. And the tragedy of it is, says Alf, trying to crack their bloody skulls, one chap going for the other dog.

Our travellers reached the rustic hostelry and alighted from their palfreys.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! —What's that? Thousands of American lives lost. Just leaving Florida.

Says he. I tell you what. TODAY WE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The water rate, Mr Boylan. Twenty thousand of them died in the coffinships. A most interesting discussion took place in the ancient hall of Brian O'ciarnain's in Sraid na Bretaine Bheag, under the auspices of Sluagh na h-Eireann. Martin?

The White House is running VERY WELL. I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the race. And He answered with a main cry: Abba!

I'm telling you. I was going to be #AmericaFirst January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. Thank you to the Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, for your endorsement.

Says the citizen. Fleet was his foot on the bracken: Patrick of the beamy brow.

Gob, he's like Lanty MacHale's goat that'd go a piece of the road with every one. The chaste spouse of Leopold is she: Marion of the bountiful bosoms. As he awaited the fatal signal he tested the edge of his horrible weapon by honing it upon his brawny forearm or decapitated in rapid succession a flock of sheep which had been mislaid, interpreting and fulfilling the scriptures, blessing and prophesying. —I beg your parsnips, says Alf, trying to pass it off. Hillary has very small and unenthusiastic crowds in Pennsylvania. —The French! —And a barbarous bloody barbarian he is too, says the citizen, the subsidised organ. It won't happen! Ay, says I, I'll be in for the last ten minutes. Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!

BIG rally in Florida-now heading to Ohio for two more. Says the citizen, clapping his thigh, our harbours that are empty will be full again, Queenstown, Kinsale, Galway, Blacksod Bay, Ventry in the kingdom of Kerry, Killybegs, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. Any negative polls are fake news, just like we will take America back.

Stop! Visszontlátásra! Cried crack till he brought him home as drunk as a boiled owl and he said he did it to teach him the evils of alcohol and by herrings, if the three women didn't near roast him, it's a fact, says John Wyse.

Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the fair sex who were present being visibly moved when the select orchestra of Irish pipes struck up the wellknown strains of Come back to Erin, followed immediately by Rakoczsy's March.

Just leaving Virginia-really big crowd, great enthusiasm!

Why didn't these people vote? Hand by the block stood the grim figure of the tragedy who was in capital spirits when prepared for death and evinced the keenest interest in the proceedings from beginning to end but he, with an abnegation rare in these our times, rose nobly to the occasion and expressed the dying wish immediately acceded to that the meal should be divided in aliquot parts among the members of the sick and indigent roomkeepers' association as a token of his regard and esteem. Shame! Says Joe. But I had 17 people to beat—she had one! Says Rush Limbaugh.

The rally in Cincinnati is ON.

It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton just can't close the deal with Bernie. —Yes, says Alf, that was giggling over the Police Gazette with Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint. —We know those canters, says he, snivelling, the finest in the whole wide world. —O hell! Boosed at five o'clock. —We know those canters, says he, take them to hell out of my sight, Alf. The learned prelate who administered the last comforts of holy religion to the hero martyr when about to pay the death penalty knelt in a most christian spirit in a pool of rainwater, his cassock above his hoary head, and offered up to the throne of grace fervent prayers of supplication. Airplane departed from Paris. In the dark land they bide, the vengeful knights of the razor. If Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media.

Cute as a shithouse rat. And for ourselves give us of your best for ifaith we need it.

Hillary Clinton is guilty as hell.

That explains the milk in the cocoanut and absence of hair on the animal's chest. —Not a word, doing the little lady. I thought so, says Joe. —Charity to the neighbour, says Martin.

Small whisky and bottle of Allsop. Honestly, I can’t blame Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion!

CNN do a segment on Hillary’s plan to increase Syrian refugees 550% and how much it will cost her at the Polls! Do you believe it? I have raised between 5 & 6 million dollars, in cash, to Iran. Not me! People must remember that ObamaCare just doesn't work, and it will only get worse. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! We will win on the first ballot and are not wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is rigged against him!

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I believe that Crooked Hillary has ZERO leadership ability. The exhibition, which is the result of years of training by kindness and a carefully thoughtout dietary system, comprises, among other achievements, the recitation of verse.

My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days! Only emboldens the enemy! And who was sitting up there in the corner. Says Lenehan, cracking his fingers. —Barney mavourneen's be it, says I.

Just to show you how unfair Republican primary politics can be, I won the State of Louisiana, for the U.S.Senate. If you want to know about Hillary Clinton's honesty & judgment, ask the family of Ambassador Stevens.

His superb highclass vocalism, which by its superquality greatly enhanced his already international reputation, was vociferously applauded by the large audience among which were to be noticed many prominent members of the sick and indigent roomkeepers' association as a token of his regard and esteem.

Just out: The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone.

I said NO, they went hostile with negative ads, he will drop like a rock in the polls against Crooked Hillary Clinton The media refuses to mention. How half and half. —Charity to the neighbour, says Martin. Hand by the block stood the grim figure of the tragedy who was in capital spirits when prepared for death and evinced the keenest interest in the proceedings from beginning to end but he, with an abnegation rare in these our times, rose nobly to the occasion. I will be attending the Alvarez/Khan fight this weekend in Vegas.

—me! Crooked Hillary called BREXIT so incorrectly, and now she didn't go to Mexico. When I am President! Give us the paw!

What a great evening-I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful support.

#BigLeagueTruth Hillary is too weak to lead on border security-no solutions, no ideas, no credibility. —I'll tell you what.

The bloody mongrel began to growl that'd put the fear of God in you seeing something was up but the citizen gave him a kick in the ribs. Crooked Hillary Clinton can't close the deal with Bernie Sanders. If I win-I will teach them! Hello, Ned. —Who made those allegations? You love a certain person. Our country is stagnant.

Senators in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this the statute. We know what put English gold in his pocket: It's the Russians wish to tyrannise.

Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: In my opinion, it is humiliating. —Lackaday, good masters, said the host, my poor house has but a bare larder. Crooked Hillary Clinton said she is used to dealing with men who get off the reservation.

Ten, did you say?

That's a straw. —Who is the long fellow running for the Presidency I've ever seen! —Hurrah, there, says Joe, will be speaking about our great journey to the Republican nomination. She is sooooo guilty.

Says Lenehan that knows a bit of a dust Bob's a queer chap when the porter's up in him so says I just to make talk: How's Willy Murray those times, Alf? There was no-one like him-a true champion! A beautiful funeral today for a big rally.

The final bout of fireworks was a gruelling for both champions. Why didn't these people vote? —We don't want him, says he, snivelling, the finest in the whole wide world. Gob, he near burnt his fingers with the butt of his old cigar. Media rigging election!

The United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany! Every lady in the audience was presented with a tasteful souvenir of the occasion in the shape of a skull and crossbones brooch, a timely and generous act which evoked a fresh outburst of emotion: and when the gallant young Oxonian the bearer, by the holy farmer, he never cried crack till he brought him home as drunk as a boiled owl and he said he did it to teach him the evils of alcohol and by herrings, if the three women didn't near roast him, it's a fact, says John Wyse, and a man who doesn't have a clue. Cried the last speaker. Who comes through Michan's land, bedight in sable armour?

The courthouse is a blind. Says John Wyse, why can't a jew love his country like the next fellow? We must keep evil out of our country. -thank you! Despite winning the second debate in a landslide, I won the popular vote. Klook Klook. Thanks Donald!

Mitt Romney's historic loss, is now spending Wall Street money on false ads against me. 'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. -called Obama years. So Terry brought the three pints Joe was standing and begob the sight nearly left my eyes when I saw him up at that meeting now with William Field, M.P., the cattle traders.

Sinn Fein!

What do the yellowjohns of Anglia owe us for our ruined trade and our ruined hearths? Enjoy! Says Lenehan. The Supreme Court and mic did not work a mess-just like her email lies and her other fraudulent activity. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what?

Will know soon! I am going to make our country Safe Again for all Americans.

She is a Hillary flunky who lost big.

Force, hatred, history, all that. Enjoy! You look like a fellow that had lost a bob and found a tanner. Love your neighbour. Ind.: Don't hesitate to shoot. —Yes, says Bloom, on account of the poor lad till he yells meila murder.

And thereafter in that fruitful land the broadleaved mango flourished exceedingly.

And the bloody dog: After him, boy!

200 dead in Baghdad, worst in many years. We don't want him, says he, what will you have?

So of course the citizen was only waiting for the wink of the word of God and the secret of England's greatness, graciously presented to him by the whiskers and singing him old bits of songs about Ehren on the Rhine and come where the boose is cheaper. —Slan leat, says he. Thank you, I will terminate deal. ISIS!

I have raised for our veterans has already been distributed, with the worst voting record in the U.S.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I had NOTHING to do with women, and they swore by the name of James Wought alias Saphiro alias Spark and Spiro, put an ad in the papers saying he'd give a passage to Canada for twenty bob. We are a long time.

Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans! #Debate #BigLeagueTruth Ready to lead.

—Yes, says Alf. The only people who are not interested in being the V.P. pick are the people that have made U.S. a mess!

ObamaCare! All confused mucking it up about mortgagor under the act that time as a rogue and vagabond only he had a friend in court. Very organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many other positions. Little Green street like a shot off a shovel. Will be such fun!

I was running after that—You what? The proceedings then terminated. Very good talks! —Yes, says Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own.

#LESM Morning Joe's weakness is its low ratings.

—We know those canters, says he, when the first Irish battleship is seen breasting the waves with our own flag to the fore, none of your Henry Tudor's harps, no, the oldest flag afloat, the flag of the province of Desmond and Thomond, three crowns on a blue field, the three sons of Milesius. —He had no father, says Martin, rapping for his glass. He's been losing so long he doesn't know how to win including failed run four years ago, was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers. He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet. President Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he wants the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren has been, she would lose!

Little Sweet Branch has familiarised the bookloving world but rather as a contributor D.O.C. points out in an interesting communication published by an evening contemporary of the harsher and more personal note which is found in the satirical effusions of the famous Raftery and of Donal MacConsidine to say nothing of a more modern lyrist at present very much in the public eye. It is so pathetic that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases like the 116% hike in Arizona. If he comes just say I'll be back in a second. Don’t feel sorry for crooked Hillary! Details to follow. I call my own shots, largely based on an accumulation of data, and everyone knows it. Says Joe. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef off of that one, what?

They were crushed last night in Cleveland at Rules Committee by a vote of 87-12.

Make America Great Again! Concert tour.

I.

—Not a word, doing the honours. Don't you know he's dead?

—Ten thousand pounds.

Says Alf.

Dave writes: I am often asked about the top supplements I recommend, or "What is the best supplement program from glaucoma." I think it is valuable to have a list of the best or most recommended supplements. I provide suggestions on supplements all the time, and I will be working on a new complete list of recommended supplements. However, before I do that I want to share a perspective on the best supplement program that goes beyond a list of products. I think it will be the less-appreciated, less-liked than a list of hot new products, It's just not the "fun" thought-provoking answer that will stimulate our minds. But it is an important perspective, and I want to share it with you. For this answer, I am going to emphasize three points:balance (and synergy) - this often equates to complexity when it comes to health matters tracking (personalization)a natural foundationThe best supplements are often the most boring. We know that from our recent discussion on vitamin B3. Many of us are electing to use old-fashioned, cheap, boring niacinamide instead of NR or NMN. Some of us are using a combination. But I don't think any of us are ignoring the value of the older, "boring" vitamin B3, even if we also use NR or NMN. In fact, the best supplements are often foods, superfoods, herbs and spices. For example, I eat one brazil nut per day for selenium (although with COVID-19, maybe you could increase that to 2 or 3 per day, but as glaucoma patients we want to be attentive to not overloading selenium). I eat a teaspoon of hemp seed hearts, a teaspoon of freshly ground flax seeds, and a few raw, organic walnut halves daily. These are all superfoods. With these and attention to my diet, I easily maintain a ratio of arachidonic acid (AA) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in plasma of between 1 and 2, which is the ideal range according to the studies I think are best. For example, on a recent OmegaQuant test, my AA:EPA ratio was 1.3 (which can also be written as 1.3:1). The higher the AA:EPA ratio, generally the higher are the levels of cellular inflammation. EPA is anti-inflammatory while arachidonic acid is pro-inflammatory. An AA:EPA ratio of between 1 and 2 is considered to be ideal. This is the ratio found in the Japanese population having the greatest longevity and the lowest incidence of cardiovascular disease. It is not uncommon in the developed world to see an AA:EPA ratio of 20, 30, 40 or even 50. In another health-oriented community I know, the average ratio in a survey was 10. That is within the "good range" according to many labs and far better than average. Getting it down to 2 or below is rare in the USA. Fish oil supplements can help a lot, but the superfoods I mentioned above (hemp, flax, walnuts) are essential in a complete solution. Telling you to achieve an AA:EPA ratio of between 1 and 2 is not as exciting as the news I shared recently about TUDCA, for example. Taking a pill is a lot easier than changing your diet. But the real results come when we also do more than just take a pill. (That said, when I started taking TUDCA, it did feel life-changing for me. But again, even in that case, I also made a number of dietary changes along with starting TUDCA. I almost never look to a supplement as the total solution. I firmly believe all lifestyle factors, such as food, sleep exercise, stress management are essential.) I do not have to emphasize how important it is to maintain low levels of systemic inflammation. That's a huge key to staying healthy today. The higher your inflammation levels, the higher is your risk of developing chronic disease. Chronic systemic inflammation is a problem in everything from CFS-ME to heart disease to diabetes. It is most definitely a problem in glaucoma. The AA:EPA ratio is an important biomarker for achieving your goal of low systemic inflammation. Another thing I do, largely through diet (although again, fish oil supplements help) is to keep a very favorable omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. Mine was recently 2.1. It is quite common to see this value as high as 10, 15 or even 20. What are my main points? One of my main points is that the best overall supplement program is about balance. It is not just about the hottest products on the market right now. It is not just about taking high doses of single ingredients. I am now taking 3200 mg of PEAmium per day, and I will probably up my B3 to 3000 mg/day, so I am not against this at all. But I don't want us to lose sight of the biggest picture when it comes to supplements. There is no one single supplement at will "cure" glaucoma. In my experience, when experts come up with formulas for a supplement and they want to get everything into a single product, reality forces compromises. I know of a famous glaucoma formula that has only 250 mg of B3. Obviously, that is not enough. We want at least 500mg and probably at least 3000 mg. But with this formula, if you double the dose and achieve the model intake of 500 mg of B3, you will be getting far too much of at least one other ingredient in the formula. This is very common with formulas. It becomes nearly impossible to achieve an ideal balance in a single product. Unfortunately, this means that our ideal and balanced supplement program is going to consist of a sizable number of products, and that we are going to have to perfect our combination of products (which leads to my next point). Another point is that we have to pay attention to the boring details. This requires tracking. I like to use lab tests and home tests for quantitative feedback, such as the numbers I gave above. I like to stay near my optimal targets for nutrients and biomarkers. I also see a lot of value in tracking your symptoms along with your diet and other activities. Through tracking (although it can be tedious and boring), you can accomplish the rewarding work of perfecting your own dietary supplement program. This is how you achieve balance and this is ultimately how you achieve improved and optimal health. All of you know the great emphasis FitEyes has always placed on home IOP monitoring. I believe every glaucoma patient would benefit from doing this. How many times have you heard a top athlete say, "its all about the fundamentals." It is. Even when you are the world's best athlete, you spend most of your time paying attention to the fundamentals, to your foundation. to the basics -- the same foundational skills that are taught to beginners. By paying attention to the details over time, you get much better at executing. And while new discoveries and advanced technologies may give you that fraction of a percent edge, the bulk of what makes the difference -- and this applies whether you are a top athlete or an individuals seeking better vision and overall health -- is in your attention to the fundamentals. To continue the analogy, the same way an athlete keeps a training journal and a coach keeps data on the individual players, to achieve your goals and to arrive at your own "best supplement program" you have to carefully track your results, including your IOP. You actually have to write stuff down (ideally in the computer or by using the FitEyes Insight software, not on paper). Another of my main points is that the best supplement program is one that includes a very wide range of nutrients. I do use (and recommend) a fair share of nutraceuticals and supplements that contain one single ingredient. However, the foundation of the "best" supplement program needs to be built on superfoods, full spectrum herbs and natural supplements that each contain hundreds or thousands of naturally occurring nutrients. While I have nothing against taking an EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) supplement (and I do take one), when I also get omega-3's from hemp seeds, flax seeds and walnuts, I am getting fiber, minerals, omega-3's and hundreds if not thousands of additional nutrients. Some of these nutrients have not even been identified by science yet. New supplements will come out in the future based on new discoveries. However, if our supplement program is built on a foundation of superfoods, we don't have to wait for these hidden nutrients to be discovered and packaged into a supplement. We are already getting all those nutrients. Here's an example. I recommend turmeric. A few years ago curcumin was the "the molecule of the year" in medical research and a very hot selling product. I stuck with recommending full spectrum turmeric. The FitEyes store missed most of those sales. But I stuck to my principles. Later, scientists came to recognize that curcumin is not the only important ingredient in turmeric. The multiple turmerones in turmeric are now recognized to have important benefits and some have even called the turmerones "curcumin's more powerful cousins." So why were we isolating curcumin out of turmeric and throwing away lots of other valuable and beneficial compounds? (In some cases, this strategy makes sense because we need to remove components of a plant that could be toxic.) However, turmeric is a very safe spice with a long history of human use and I do not believe it makes sense to take curcumin without at least having a foundation of full spectrum turmeric. We can take a top quality turmeric (or even add it as a spice to our food) and get all the beneficial compounds science recognizes today while also getting anything else science may discover in turmeric in the years ahead. In summary:balance - health is complex. Science does not understand everything about human biochemistry. There may be more that is unknown than known. No single chemical, whether pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or vitamin, is likely to be the "one best solution". Medicine has been trying to find a "cure" for glaucoma for more than 100 years. Glaucoma is complex. The solution for a complex chronic condition like glaucoma is almost never just one thing. Often, even surgery which achieves the ideal IOP value is not enough. My experience is that the "best supplement program" for any chronic condition is a complex combination of supplements that addresses a number of factors, and by addressing all of this together in a synergistic way, we create the balance that leads to great health. I do not recommend single all-in-one products because they are always too limited to achieve the personal balance we need. tracking - keeping written records and using them to refine your nutrition and supplement program over time is essential to creating your personal best supplement program.a natural foundation: superfoods, good nutrition, full spectrum, natural supplements often get less attention than the patented nutraceutical, but they must be your https://bit.ly/322s5g1 "best" list of supplements for glaucoma includes both natural supplements and nutraceuticals. Both have a place, but the foundation needs to be natural -- foods, superfoods, full spectrum herbs, spices, etc. This is one reason why we carry both Nordic Naturals (which are pharmaceutical grade fish oils) and Green Pasture Fermented fish oils (which are pre-industrialized foods that are more natural than any other fish oil in the world). I use Green Pasture as my foundation, and I take Nordic Naturals EPA to fine tune (or balance) my program and to achieve my target on the AA:EPA ratio biomarker. (I also take Pro DHA Eye.) https://bit.ly/34gk3Ts

Two Mondays ago Jemele Hill from ESPN was suspended for asking fans to boycott the advertisers of the Dallas Cowboys. Her tweet was in response to a new rule made by the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, who two weeks before kneeled with his team in solidarity and then did a reversal and announced he’d fire/suspend any player who kneeled during the National Anthem. Jones’s actions have now spurred a debate between owners who are conflicted over what rules to place on a league that is almost 80 percent black. [1] Like many others Jemele was upset the owner of the richest franchise in the NFL would respond so harshly to his players exercising their first amendment rights. So she went to Twitter and told people to stop buying Dallas Cowboys merchandise.

Then in response to another tweet she said fans should go further and boycott the advertisers and sponsors of the Cowboys.

For this ESPN suspended her citing that she had violated their social media policy. Seeing that they were fine with (mostly) men attacking her on her Twitter feed and saying nothing, so it seems suspect to many that now ESPN is concerned about Hill’s social media account. Unless you remember that ESPN is an actual company, and Jemele Hill is only an employee. Oh and she’s a black woman.

Hill did not start this war, she’s merely a casualty, along with Colin Kaepernick. The title of shitstarter belongs to our 45th president who, has not passed any major legislation in the last 9 months, and decided to stir up an imaginary controversy to accost the NFL and its players. The outward reasons for this war are unclear, and are only a blip in the line of idiotic things this president has done in the last year. #45 loves conflict. Whether it’s John McCain, a Gold Star Family, or little Marco Rubio, Donald J. Trump likes to stir the pot. And now that he’s commander-in-chief he owns the big spoon. As for definitive reasons on why Trump talked about Kaepernick and called him a son-of-a-bitch is anyone’s guess. Only #45 really knows why he did it. Critics have speculated that as president he’s getting back at his enemies in a way he never could before. (Trump’s hatred and/or jealously of the NFL goes all the way back to the 1980s when he was the owner of the USFL New Jersey Generals and sued the NFL for anti-trust violations.)[2] Maybe he said what he said because he needed a diversion when he spoke to the great people of Alabama, (where he was campaigning for Luther Strange, but instead campaigned for himself and possibly the 2020 election),would love to hear. Or he was just his usual Queens, NY self [3] and used a person of color as a shield so his constituency wouldn’t see that he’s clueless when it comes to how to run the country.

  Again, no one knows for sure, but the fact is that on September 23rd, Trump declared war on the players of the NFL, especially Colin Kaepernick, whom though he didn’t mention directly, the implication was crystal clear. Trump then went further and distorted what Kaepernick and other players were doing. Telling the audience that they were disrespecting the flag and shitting on America.

  “That’s a total disrespect of our heritage. That’s a total disrespect of everything that we stand for…Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, you’d say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now Out! He’s fired!’ “[4]

  The roar of the crowd is deafening, then the chants of “USA! USA! USA!”,  start. Trump, in his candy cane colored tie and his dark untailored suit smiles like a triumphant svengali. He walks back and forth, throwing his hands in the air, as though telling imaginary political aides, “See, I told you, they’re like putty in my hands.”  Trump then walks back to the podium ready to sort of help Luther Strange. Whom everyone knows has taken a huge backseat to the omnibus that is Donald Trump and a Trump rally. [5] He was never there to help Luther anyway, he barely knew who Luther was. He just wanted the roaring cheers from the crowd and the soundbites that he knew would make the Evening News. Trump took a small issue that was really only discussed by sports journalists, black folks, and stalwart football fans and made it a national story filled with angst and hate against players who are just demonstrating their first amendment rights.

  President Trump may understand that there is a constitution, but he doesn’t like the parts that give citizens rights, except for the 2nd amendment. Protests are and will always be part of the American fabric. But protests are meant to be confrontational, they are meant to disturb and disrupt. See the Civil Rights Movement, the Women’s Movement, and the Black Lives Matter Movements. As a citizen, Trump, like Jemele Hill and Colin Kaepernick, has the right to speak his mind on the NFL. But why would a president insert himself into what is simply a labor matter. No one asked him a question like they did President Obama when Skip Gates was arrested outside his home and what eventually lead to the “Beer Summit”,[6] Trump decided to get his constituents riled up against some black boys, albeit rich black boys, but black boys none the less. While we can all agree that Trump should be more worried about North Korea, we also have to concede, that he’s not the first person to suggest that Kaepernick be ostracized, nor is he even the first to suggest that kneeling should be prohibited. [7] But unlike Hue Jackson (coach of the Cleveland Browns) who has some skin in the game, Trump’s has no skin that is remotely near the game. What he does have is a mind  filled with bile and vitriol, and his words tend to infect anyone who believes them.

After the president spoke and the Dallas Cowboys knelt during the anthem, while their fans booed, and the Pittsburgh Steelers (except for Alejandro Villenueva) stayed in their tunnel instead of standing up for the anthem and Ray Lewis did his “half protest prayer.” Fans took to their social media sites and burned Kaepernick jerseys, Steelers paraphernalia and any item that had anything to with any player that dared to exert their first amendment rights.  Yells of , “Protest on your on time!” or “I will never support anyone who doesn’t support our troops or our flag!” were pasted on websites, Twitter and broadcast on the Evening News. These same “patriots”, also went online and added Mike Tomlin to an imaginary lists of  “no-good niggers”.[8] This is what a few moments of our president’s speech moves citizens to do, not only deny their fellow citizens their constitutional rights but creates hate tsunamis.

  Which brings us back to Jemele Hill.  Jemele[9] is no stranger to bringing her experiences and speaking her mind on issues that intersect social and sports issues. A lot of her writing and reporting is similar to that of Robin Givhan of the Washington Post, who interposes fashion with social issues and the feminist gaze, giving the reader a more nuanced and fuller look at what the fashion world really is. Jemele does the same thing. In 2005 she was the only black woman sports journalist working for a major newspaper. She’s paid her dues, she spent six years at the Detroit Free Press covering Michigan State sports, where she is also an alumni. Her opinion on Sheryl Swoopes coming out as lesbian was clearly based in a feminist gaze that analyzed sports while making room for a critique about rampant over masculinity,

“Sorry, but Swoopes’s coming-out doesn’t have enough shock value to make us learn anything. Lesbians don’t pose a threat and have a certain appreciation in a male-dominated culture. And sadly, the prevailing stereotypes of female athletes as lesbians will probably reduce Swoopes’s emotional admission to a raunchy, tasteless joke by the end of the week. The only way we’re going to address homophobia in sports is if Peyton Manning, the NFL’s MVP last season, makes a similar disclosure. Or Brett Favre. Or Michael Jordan.”[10]

She also compared the Barry Bonds drugging scandal with the invisible case against Lance Armstrong in 2006. She claimed that race was instrumental in the investigation, when it was clear there was as much circumstantial evidence against Armstrong as there was against Bonds.[11] (In an Oprah Winfrey 2013 interview, Lance Armstrong admitted to doping and had his tour de France championships taken from him. )[12] You only have to look at her Twitter feed every day especially the hour before she anchors ESPNs main Sportscenter at 6p every weeknight (with her co-host Michael Smith.) Many of the tweets are vulgar, misogynistic, and openly racist in nature, and most have almost nothing to do with her on-air performance.

  Many of the purveyors of “ill will” to Jemele are white men of all ages and from all across the country.  Jemele answers almost of all of the “well wishers” individually in order to let them know their ignorance and their vileness will not and has not deterred her from spreading her what she knows is right.[13] And like many women of color, Jemele learned what was right by learning from other women in her family. In Jemele’s case her grandmother.[14]

The vein of doing what was right and continuing to speak truth to power, last month Jemele called the president, “A White Supremacist.”

  She pissed off a lot of people. She also energized a lot of folks, especially black women.

But is Jemele’s statement true?  The President and his Press Secretary don’t agree. And as a result they were the first to call for Jemele’s dismissal from ESPN.

…but I think that’s one of the more outrageous comments anyone could make and certainly something that I think is a fireable offense by ESPN.

-Sarah Huckabee Sanders  9/15/17[15]

Why is the President worried about a sports journalist? The easy answer, because she dared to say anything negative against the President. This president has the thinnest skin of any president in modern history. Which is especially astounding since president #44 was the first black president, and #43 was the president who was in office when 9/11 happened. If those presidents took the criticism that was doled out to them, why can’t Trump. The only obvious reason is that Jemele is a black woman in a very white male profession. Like racism, misogyny is a problem that America doesn’t want to acknowledge exists. Yet if the Harvey Weinstein story is any indication, we’ll have to address it sooner than later. The critics, the media, even Trump’s aides are afraid to dig further into what Trump’s racial ideology is. They can’t stomach that their fellow citizens, maybe even family members, elected a bigot. Even his own aides don’t know. In Charlottesville when he waited until his third press conference to condemn white supremacists, no one was sure whether he was just ignorant, a white supremacist or white supremacist adjacent.

In the meantime Jemele kept being Jemele.  She continued to tweet about Insecure, defend herself against trolls, and comment on social issues that intersected with her job, covering sports. Her comments regarding the president only reiterated what much of the President’s own cabinet is saying about him. (Rex Tillerson thinks his boss is a fucking moron like many of us do. A statement that Tillerson later refused to dignify with an answer, which means of course that he said it.)[16] After she called the president a white supremacist and she went to the president of ESPN and cried in his office explaining that she never meant to bring shame to the company or to her colleagues. She wasn’t admitting she existed wrong (because she’s entitled to her opinion, especially when it’s right), but she was doing what so many women of color do, recognizing an error in her delivery, but not in the substance. The way you know that your ex-husband is an asshole, you will continue to treat him like one, but you probably shouldn’t call him an asshole in front of your children.

But as her tweeting continued, NFL players had started kneeling in larger

numbers. Where her  first tweets had been born in response to Trump’s actions regarding Charlottesville, Trump’s tweets were now targeted at Jemele and how she had single handedly brought down ESPN rating. The ball was now in Jemele’s court, repsonding was never a question. The question was would her bosses have her back this time? Trump  was making statements about sports and how sports management should be carried out.  How could she resist taking him on? She’s a journalist, who has written for ESPN.com, was a sports journalist with “His and Hers,” has battled with many of the best sports writers and reporters and has held her own. She’s not merely eye candy,  the way some women sportcasters are displayed though she is incredibly attractive, has a fabulous hair/makeup team and dresses fiercely when she’s on the screen, she is the real deal. A Michigan State alumni who is a fierce Spartan fan, she can hang with the “boys” on predictions, fantasy football rankings, what an injury report can mean, and what a football formation looks like. (Yes, Cam Newton, there are actually women who know football, can wear a knee high boot, and win the sports pool.) [17] Jemele is the culmination of what happens when a young black woman decides to combine the social realities of the US with sports. She sees and understand the juncture of both and as a result she takes the mantle from male journalists like Mike Lupica, Jimmy Breslin, and William Rhoden and puts a spin on sports stories that show that the political is always personal. Trump had just made his quips and nonsense political statements personal.

  After his infamous Alabama speech,  the NFL showed a rare and swift sense of brotherhood and solidarity; by protesting against a micromanaging president who had no business trying to control them. The shows of owners and their teams kneeling, linking arms, and some not showing up at all were remarkable, if not exactly authentic. It wasn’t as if any of the owners were going to hire Kaerpernick while giving the president the proverbial middle finger. In fact, CK was almost forgotten in the two weeks after the president’s comment. Instead message became, “either honor the flag the right way or take your privileged ass somewhere else.” The term that was on many of my threads were “Oppressed Millionaires.” As though black millionaires were immune to the brutalism and microagressions that occur in America. Ask the Seattle Seahawks, at least four of their players have been stopped, detained or arrested by police for no reason.[18]

While Charlottesville was the impetus for Jemele’s first tweet, her second tweet to boycott the Cowboy’s sponsors was tied to  the backpedaling of the NFL. As of a week ago rumors were flying that the NFL was going to suspend or fine those who didn’t stand for the Star Spangled Banner. Then Jerry Jones not only backpedaled he did a somersault and said he would fire anyone who did not honor the flag or the fans. Is anyone really surprised that Jerry Jones did that? (I was more surprised he was kneeling.) Dallas Cowboys merchandise is the number one merchandise sold in the NFL shop. The Steelers, Patriots, Raiders, and 49ers are some of the other the other teams that bring millions of dollars to the owners who receive amlost all of the proceeds from those sales. Jones also backslided because the viewership and the attendance for NFL games have slipped significantly. And the lukewarm response from owners, Roger Goddell and the NFL towards scandals like the CTE coverup, deflated footballs and explicit cheating, domestic abuse, and Colin Kaepernick have made the public leary of the NFL. The public is choosing to watch repeats of Everyone Loves Raymond and the Golden Girls over the boring games that come on every Sunday night with Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. Jones and his fellow owners are worried. They have huge stadiums paid by taxpayers, they are their own economic tsunamis and if they lose public approval they are dead. What to do? Well take the side of the president of course.

ESPN is a company that has chosen not to examine Trump’s ideology beliefs, but instead to take the middle ground. Instead they decided to take the pussy way out and stand by their money.  Specifically they supported their advertisers and sponsors more than they did the anchor of their flagship show. a sponsor stance. There was no way that they could lose their major sponsors on their main sportscast of the day. Men came home from work to just sit in front of Sportscenter, possibly with their hands down the front of the their pants, but we can’t know for sure. The last thing that these Bud drinking, Stihl having, John Deere mowing, and Ford F-150 driving would tolerate seeing is a black woman talking about politics with their sports.  They still haven’t accepted that Jemele Hill has the job she has, now she wants them to think too? And the sponsors jumped at the chance to not take a side and instead threatened to pull their ads unless action was taken.  But one of the tipping points were the ESPN employees themselves.

If there were many ESPN employees in agreement with Jemele, it was hard to find one in the tweets and emails that were “leaked” to the press. Many of Jemele’s colleagues  were upset about what Jemele said and wanted some kind of discipline put on her. Many referred to other journalists who had been fired or “phased out” after they used words and references that were out of bounds and none of them were to the president. But ESPN has never been consistent when disciplining their journalists, Bill Simmons was disciplined when he spoke out against Roger Goddell, but Colin Cowherd wasn’t disciplined when he spoke out against Sean Taylor.[19] I’m not sure how ESPN can continue to keep up the façade of neutrality when they pay their journalist to also be commentators and opinion makers. What do you think the NFL Insiders on NFL countdown are? They may know the game, but they (Chris Mortensen, Louis Riddick, and Adam Schefter) get their information from the various NFL Deep Throats and reporting that “news” as fact. They are like the Hot Topics bunch on Wendy Williams.

And while ESPN has suspended Jemele, the NBA has not suspended Greg Popovitch, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry for their free speech about the President. Nor has the NFL (and now according to Roger Goddell they won’t) fine/suspend any of the players (current or former) who have kneeled in the past or will kneel in the future. (That’s good news for Ray Lewis, he won’t have to pretend kneel this time.) Other men have also come out for Jemele, black male sportcasters of the NABJ have come out in support of Jemele.  Mike Lupica wrote that Jemele has the right to speak her truth at ESPN. Dave Zirin has been a staunch supporter of Jemele’s writing pieces and arguing on Twitter about Jemele’s right to free speech.

Jemele felt that was inexcusable and said so. ESPN had already changed face and suspended her, for what they felt was insubordination. Yet other white male sportscasters had also called for a boycott and decried the stomping of players rights.[20]In fact many journalists had called for a boycott of the entire season, citing all the problems the NFL had including Kaepernick. But none of those writers were fired, suspended or disciplined. Again, what does Jemele have that many of the sports journalists don’t?

Let me say it loud so those in the cheap seats can hear it.

She’s a black woman.

Jemele is a persecuted woman of color, more specifically she is a black woman speaking truth to power. US history is clear about what happens to black women when they choose to speak truth to power, they are continually tormented and abused until they bend, and sometimes then break. Look up Ida B. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer. Shirley Chisolm. Look at the women who started and continue to maintain the Black Lives Matter movement. And of course they tried to make our former first lady bend as well.

Michelle[21] was supposed to sit behind Barack and say nothing. The last first lady who had an agenda and didn’t know how to bake cookies was Hilary Clinton, and that ended very badly. Go Google, “Michelle Obama insults,” and the results are horrifying. Make sure your children aren’t in the room, because it won’t be pretty. The mild insults are about her wearing shorts, going on long trips, or wearing fancy clothes. The worse ones are when the white men of the senate told her to put her arms in some sleeves for the formal portrait.  Or when governors, city directors and other “government officials” around the country sent pictures of an ape and in one instance called it “A ape in heels.” Or when a washed up television star posted a picture that said, “He (President Obama) wakes up to this?[22] This rage and hate was aimed at a first lady whose national agenda was for children to eat well, and the Republicans said, “Bring back the French fries and chicken nuggets!”

Michelle, Serena, Viola, and Jemele also have to navigate gender. What I haven’t seen is feminist groups come out in support of Jemele and her right to free speech. Where are the white women, besides Samantha Bee? Why aren’t prominent white women standing up for Jemele? In recent years white women have done some dumb things and have advernnatly or inadvertently scrubbed women of color (in this case black women) from spaces  because they feel ignored and devalued. With Sophia Vergara being the highest paid television actress at the moement, white women may be feeling very vulnerable. Remember Patricia Arquette’s speech (that Jennifer Lopez inexpicably stood up for) that spoke of how ungrateful other folks were for the work white women did for them  and how now white women have to look out for themselves?[23] Or the dismissal of Viola’s speech at the 2015 Emmys about inequality and lack of roles for women that a soap opera actress with no accolades even close to Viola’s felt was silly and hallucinatory. Or Maria Sharapova’s recent story of Serena Williams calling her a bitch and how terrible Serena was (during the time the story had been about Serena’s new baby), when she conveniently for the terrible drag impression she did of Serena with padding that gave her a huge butt and enormous breasts. Or the idea that Ellen would create a Halloween costume of Nicki Minaj and her cotume consisted of a large ass and a bad wig. Is this solidarity? Or the silence from groups like NOW during the 2008 presidential campaign when right-wingers were calling Michelle Obama a radical black panther because of a fist bump with her husband and her Princeton senior thesis that was pro-black in nature. Or the criticism that came when Michelle said she was going to be “Mom-in-Chief” for a while in order to get her children acclimated to the white house and their new school. White women excoriated her for choosing to be a mother first, forgetting that the whole purpose of feminism is to give women choices, whether those choices are popular or not are inconsequential. And forgetting or ignoring the intersectionality that shows that for black women, staying home and not going into bankruptcy while doing it,was a radical event.

So why shouldn’t the Michelle Obamas, Serena Williamses, Viola Davises and Jemele Hills shout out loud about the inequality they see in their nation? And again why would the President of the United States care?

ESPN’s slow response to suspend Jemele was not because they were feeling benevolent or because they see Jemele Hill as irreplaceable. They were slow to make a decision because they were in a quandary. How to discipline Jemele without looking like racists and a misogynists. Could they do what they had done to Sage Steele the year before[24] and make her disappear into a vortex? No, she had spoken about the  president. ESPN hoped all of it would just disappear. It didn’t. This is Donald Trump, the most thin skinned President in modern history the White House couldn’t let it go. So they had to wait and see what happened. And Jemele kept being Jemele and ESPN finally had their opening to suspend her and if all reports are correct her contract won’t be renewed.

So who will talk about what’s right in the sportworld? Jason Whitlock, Stephen A Smith, Bomani Jones? Their columns and on air responses have run from super conservative and misogynist (Whitlock) to non committal and dismissive (Smith). What will we as sports fan lose if we lose Jemele? What will black women lose? But the person who has truly been lost in all of this is Colin Kaepernick. Remember him? How will any of this get him his job back? Can he afford to wait on others to help him or does he have to take the owners and the NFL on and fight for himself.  We’ll find out, on October 16, 2017, Kaepernick filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its owners. Claiming that the owners colluded to keep him out of the NFL and without a job because he used his 1st amendment right.

It seems Kaepernick has decided to use his 7th amendment right, the right to have a jury of your peers in a civil case over 20.00.

It’s about time.

Week 5 - Future Worlds Contextual Research

Millennials - the anxious generation

https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=millennial+generation+anxiety&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiryLul0I3WAhVHObwKHRKoC8IQ1QIIaygB&biw=1311&bih=739

Millennials are considered an anxious generation, and people are generally all too ready to give reasons why.

Simple explanations tend to revolve around the modern day obsession with technology. A lack of sleep is caused by watching one too many episodes of the latest binge worthy Netflix series; stress comes from an obsession with social media, which either paints the picture that everyone is out having fun but us, or has us checking how many likes our latest selfie has in the same anxious way we check how many pounds we have in the bank.

There’s no doubt both these things have caused a disenchantment with politics, which in the current climate of elections is a fair cause for anxiety. However, just like the impact of technology, this is not an issue exclusive to Millennials, and doesn’t tell the full story of Millennial anxiety.

Instead, the answer lies in the fact that anxiety comes from uncertainty, and Millennials, as an age group and a generation, have plenty to be uncertain about.

Millennials spend longer in education, in differing jobs and in gap years, than any generation before them. They also marry later. As a result they spend longer at a stage in life where employment isn’t a guarantee, lifestyles aren’t built around rigid routine, and they can’t look ahead to the future with complete certainty.

There are milestones for the typical life which we are all aware of. Getting GCSEs and A-Levels, passing the driving test, moving away from home, entering full time employment, owning a house, etc. But there’s no doubt that attitude and access towards the things that society considers to ‘settle’ us, is changing.

In reality, the abundance of opportunities available today means that doing something different to what was once the norm is nothing millennials deserve to be made feel anxious about.

https://www.unilad.co.uk/featured/millennials-are-an-anxious-generation-and-this-is-why/

https://generationanxiety.com

Generation Y is the most anxious generation in history. With so many of us feeling constantly stressed, we believe that anxiety isn’t just a medical problem to be treated like a bacterial infection, but as a sign that something is deeply wrong with our society.

Young people today have a lot to be anxious about: we face high unemployment, insecure housing, a looming climate crisis, mounting debts, growing inequality and increasingly less support from government.

Part news, part analysis and part group counselling session to help our generation get out of bed in the morning. Generation Anxiety explores the social conditions that are making us stressed, and asks how can we work together to solve them.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/commentisfree/2017/feb/25/anxiety-is-a-way-of-life-for-gen-y-in-an-insecure-world-is-it-any-surprise

Increasing job insecurity, housing stress, economic and income instability, and a future of climate change, environmental destruction and conflict, have turned stress – and in turn anxiety – into a way of life.

https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=the+anxious+generation&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiryLul0I3WAhVHObwKHRKoC8IQ1QIIbCgC&biw=1311&bih=739

Anxiety disorders are not just medical problems. They are inherently social illnesses

Just as significant stressful events are shown to cause anxiety disorders, research suggests that this long-term stress has a similar impact. For example, research from the University of Michigan found in 2009 that stress from job insecurity is worse for your mental health than unemployment. Similar data has been found regarding housing, with research from the Swinburne-Monash Research Centre finding a strong correlation between different forms of housing insecurity and mental health problems such as anxiety. Many researchers also believe that when it comes to climate change we are undergoing “a collective anxiety that is insidious, even if we haven’t managed to connect all the dots”.

These material conditions are met with what Richard Eckersley calls a “western cultural crisis” – a breakdown of communal structures that are important for our mental wellbeing. Whether it is the commercialisation of public space or increasing working hours that reduce time for social activity, we live in a society in which we are all increasingly socially isolated and lonely, destroying one of the key mechanisms available to protect against mental anguish.

Anxiety disorders are not just medical problems. They are inherently social illnesses, ones that are becoming more of an issue as economic insecurity increases and social connections are destroyed.

“Anxiety-as-disease is treated much like an infection, as if the symptoms were a bacterium that should be eradicated.” NGO campaigns are very similar, with awareness programs, which dominate the sector, working primarily in an after-the-fact approach.

But if we really want to solve our anxiety epidemic we have to think of solutions that look at the causes of the problem, and not just the symptoms. Otherwise we face a whole generation or more plagued by this illness.

Music Festival Culture

http://liveforlivemusic.com/features/inside-the-rapidly-rising-bubble-bursting-culture-of-music-festivals/

While each festival had its own unique aesthetic, at the core, they were all the same. They provided a rare opportunity to separate from society and submerge in another world, where you could explore the simplest pleasures in life without judgment or consequence.

A decade ago, there were no smart phones or selfie sticks in the air — just hands and gravity-friendly fans seeking a better view. Social media hadn’t been invented yet. Silent disco was the only way you could describe the 3 a.m., music-less dance party at your neighbor’s campsite.

Advancements in mobile technology and the rise of social media have also played a massive role in filling out these events . Following artists and the entire music scene has never been easier, thanks to blogs (like this one) and social media platforms.

Listening to music and expanding one’s palate has become an instantaneous exercise with a few swipes and thumb punches on a smart phone standing in the way. As the artist impressions stack up, so does our desire to see them beyond the screen.

This is basically the mass commercialization of an underground culture that was already alive and well,” Browning said. “There’s no doubt (the EDM) scene has been responsible for a ton of the growth, because you’re talking about a captive audience that has a relatively large disposable amount of income and they like to come together and do drugs and that was apparent to (many successful promoters out there).”

The technology that amplifies sound has allowed for better experiences for huge outdoor venues. You can steadily see festival sizes growing. In terms of technology, I also suspect that there are links between the ways people relate through social media, which creates bonds between fans as they document their festival experiences.

Q: How has technology impacted and influenced musicians?

A:  We're still finding out what technology is doing to the industry. In the past five years, the number of times you visit a band's Wikipedia page can tell if a band is going to break in the next year or so. For instance, about eight months before The Weeknd began to play across radio stations throughout the country, there was a huge spike of views on their Wikipedia page. And there are now firms that create analytics of data of the number of YouTube clips that are played.

Another way record labels or representatives of an artist are able to tell if an artist is going to break is through the use of Shazam (an app that identifies the media playing around you). Shazam is able to show the most "Shazamed" song in your particular area. For instance, in Tucson right now, "Guys My Age" by Hey Violet has been Shazamed more than any other song in Tucson. With this data, a record label or artist representative is able to promote the artist or their music by showing this data in the hopes of getting it released nationally.

This is very different from pre-social media and the pre-internet era, because technology creates data that the industry can use which reflects actual taste and not instinct. In the past, record executives would instinctively know this song or artist was going to be a hit. But that led to repetitive-sounding music that often was the same thing time and time again. Now we have songs and artists that sound really distinct, and that diversity is in part because it's possible for the data and technology to draw attention to people's taste.

Technology’s impact on music festivals

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeremy-wilson/the-future-of-music-festi_b_6806904.html

t’s an amazing moment and a symbol of the new elements that technology is constantly bringing to the festival experience. Top EDM DJ Hardwell shares his thoughts on it’s role: “Technology has grown to play one of the most important roles in the festival experience. From lighting to visuals to live streams, it has added an entirely new dimension to live performances.”

TommorrowWorld is a completely cashless festival, these same wristbands lighting up the dance floor are being used for all transactions and can even sync with those around you and connect you on Facebook.

“Millennials are an experience generation, they want you to take them somewhere totally unique.” - Joe Silberzweig, SFX Entertainment

TomorrowWorld came from the massively successful TomorrowLand festival in Belgium. SFX is constantly working to extend the festival experience to those that can’t physically be there, or to those who were and want to remember it. They are famous for their festival videos, typically racking up over 100 million views on YouTube.

The result is a virtual festival experience that allows you to explore the entire festival, from the campgrounds to heart of the dancefloor. Watch stunning sunsets or see what the world looks like from the perspective of a headlining DJ. In the YouVisit office in New York, Morreale and his colleague Endri Tolka, YouVisit’s COO/CFO, shared how they wanted to take users places where no one gets to go, giving people the chance to experience something they may have never have had the chance to go to.

“It’s not just recreating the experience, it’s taking them places where no one gets to go.” - P.J. Morreale, YouVisit

When the virtual tour was released on the web, fans from all 50 states and over 100 countries engaged with it: Fans reliving the festival, others around the world seeing it for the first time. Viewable within a browser, even optimized for smartphones, the average engagement with the tour was ten minutes, which is huge. It helped build excitement for the release of 2015 tickets, of which 360,000 were sold in under an hour.

This type of digital engagement is essential as festival brands seek to remain connected with their audience throughout the entire year.

The Natural Extension

Technology is playing a huge role in creating original experiences for audiences, from Hologram performances from TuPac to 3D projections that place the performer in some kind of action movie. Millennials want to experience something unique that they can be a part of and share with the world.

[news links- verses below]

Today I just hit on some news issues.

The Arkansas executions were put on hold- for now.

Trump kept one of his campaign promises- and might penalize China for dumping their steel in the U.S.

And I talked about the media coverage of the French election.

Why talk about any of these things?

Media bias is not simply some Political issue that Christians should have no concern about.

Media bias- and the narrative the media give you- and me- effects the way we think about the actions our country takes.

And when we talk about the big issues- war and peace-

Then yes- if we are persuaded by the media to ‘back up’ or reject action simply because they are for or against a particular side-

Then we need to be aware of how bias works.

I talk about these issues- not as a Democrat or Republican [I’m neither] but as someone who keeps up with the news.

I’ll give just one example from today’s talks.

During the presidential campaign you had sincere liberals who would have loved it if Bernie Sanders got elected.

But the 2 main choices were between Trump and Clinton.

During the campaign Trump took some very unconventional views- views that the classic liberal would love.

One was he said he would do something to save the U.S. steel industry.

Those are union workers- who normally support the Democratic Candidate by more than 90%.

But Hillary Clinton was against stopping China from flooding the U.S. market with steel.

Both she and her husband took a much more conservative [Republican] view on trade.

They felt that if the global economy does well- then the effects would be better for the steelworker.

But don’t tell that to the U.S. steelworker who sees his job go by the wayside because he can’t compete with Chinese steel.

So- Hillary sincerely held to the view of ‘trickle down economics’ saying if we simply let the global market do well- eventually the U.S. employer will benefit.

That's not a liberal view at all.

Trumps’ view- to penalize china- was considered liberal- protectionist- and anti Republican.

Yet- he took this view- and has now actually taken steps to act on it.

The U.S. steel worker would have never gotten this with Hillary- maybe with Bernie- but the reality is- they are getting this benefit from Trump.

If your are a Democrat- Union worker- you should be excited about this.

But instead- the media have found something to criticize and the majority of sincere liberals who hold to this view- will also criticize Trump.

Simply because we in this nation choose sides- and if the other side wins- then we fight them until the end.

Ok- I don’t really care that much about the steel issue to be honest.

But when we do the same thing- when it comes to war- and the loss of life on both sides of these conflicts.

Then we have to overcome our bias- because it would be unjust for any killing to take place- simply because ‘ Our side is in’ - and we were unable to actually look at the human cost.

I’m not against all war- but it should be a last resort.

I’m not against our military but responsible leaders should realize war is a last resort.

And we- as Christians should form our opinion not based on an irresponsible media and the narrative they give [They hailed Obama's backing of the rebels in Libya and just last week Black slaves were being being sold in Libya on an open market- for the first time since the abolishing of slavery].

Yet- the media hardly mentioned it.

But this is the end result of a bad decision by president Obama.

We often forget about the consequences of our actions- and move on to the next story.

I also mentioned some local news and the death of Arron Hernandez.

Who hung himself in his jail cell- with the words ‘John 3:16’written on his head.

Sad story- indeed.

On the last video I ran into 2 Christian brothers right at the end.

They were walking in Wal Mart parking lot- and I asked them if they wanted to share their story-

They sure did.

Ok- that’s it for today-

God bless all

Psalm 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Psalm 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Psalm 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Psalm 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Psalm 51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Psalm 51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Psalm 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Psalm 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Psalm 51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Psalm 51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

5 things to grasp regarding faux news on Facebook, Google

With presidential election signs returning down from front lawns and voters looking at protests on the news, several area unit speculative if faux news stories on Facebook and Google contributed to Donald Trump's winning the presidency.

And that raises the question of what Google and Facebook commit to do regarding it.

Here area unit some samples of headlines from faux stories announce to the web:

"Pope Francis endorses Trump"

"WikiLeaks Confirms Sir Edmund Hillary sold-out Weapons to ISIS"

"Donald Trump wins body and fashionable vote"

"Clinton Foundation bought $137 million value of misappropriated arms and ammunition"

These headlines area unit from faux news stories that cluttered Facebook and Google within the past few months. whereas the content was wrong, it did not stop them from pull in many thousands or uncountable likes, shares and comments.

With these stories, truth was beside the purpose. or even spreading false news was the purpose.

Fake news unfold round the world on social networks, in addition as on Google News and in Google searches.

"Americans get most of their news off each of those sites," aforementioned Patrick Moorhead, associate analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy. "I believe readers, Facebook, and Google all play a job in transferral this to a flourishing conclusion."

Here is what you would like to grasp regarding however faux news has effects on what you recognize regarding the globe and what's being done regarding it.

1. however massive a haul is this?

There are not any clear numbers on what percentage faux news stories hit Facebook and Google throughout the election season. Nor area unit there any figures on the amount of pretend news stories that appeared on those sites all year.

To be clear, there is also some discussion over what makes a news article faux.

Take for example the altogether false and concocted story over the summer that aforementioned the pope supported then-Republican candidate Donald Trump for president. The pope didn't endorse Trump. Is it a story that has associate omission or associate error?

"I assume till we tend to begin to outline the difficulty a lot of clearly, it's open for a range of interpretations," aforementioned Brian Blau, associate analyst with research firm Gartner. "Users need to trust not solely the suppliers however additionally the content they consume, and given the dearth of fine-grain controls, we've to assume that some quantity of pretend news is being scan and sure, that is not an honest state of affairs for anyone."

Most agree that to be thought-about faux, a story must be mostly false or purposefully false.

To that finish, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and co-founder of Facebook, aforementioned in period of time that the majority of the stories that show au fait users' news feeds area unit real news items, downplaying the have an effect on that faux news has had on Facebook's quite one.18 billion daily active users.

"Of all the content on Facebook, quite ninety nine of what folks see is authentic," Zuckerberg wrote on his personal Facebook page . "Only a really bit is faux news and hoaxes. The hoaxes that do exist aren't restricted to at least one partisan read, or maybe to politics. Overall, this makes it very unlikely hoaxes modified the end result of this election in one direction or the opposite."

If Zuckerberg is correct and ninety nine of stories on Facebook area unit correct, will that mean one hundred and twenty fifth area unit false?

If that is the case then, if a user sees five hundred news headlines in her News Feed each week, 5 of them area unit faux.

And if those faux news stories purposefully have salacious headlines, can those 5 headlines stick in her brain quite one hundred and twenty fifth of reports stories unremarkably would?

Add to that the very fact that Facebook uses algorithms to point out readers a lot of of the forms of stories they unremarkably answer, scan and share, then some users may well be seeing a way higher proportion of pretend stories.

2. what is the impact of pretend news stories?

According to a bench research facility survey of one,520 adults conducted between March seven and Gregorian calendar month four, 68% of U.S. adults area unit Facebook users. additionally, a majority of usa citizens say they get news via social media, and 1/2 the general public used these sites to be told regarding the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post went right to the supply, interviewing a person WHO may be a faux news author.

According to the Post report , faux news author Paul Horner is taking credit for Trump's winning the election, saying, "I assume Trump is within the White House thanks to Pine Tree State. His followers do not fact-check something — they will post everything, believe something. His campaign manager announce my story a few protester obtaining paid $3,500 as truth. Like, I created that up."

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg aforementioned over the weekend during a web log post, that Facebook is functioning with fact-checking organizations to verify the believability of reports on its web site.

So it’s unclear at now what proportion faux news stories affected the end result of the election. Some claim they helped Trump attain associate upset win. Others disagree.

What is clear is that folks scan these stories, commented, liked  or were furious by them. They additionally shared this content with their friends and family. These stories, full of lies and information, created the rounds, and a few selected to believe them.

3. however will Google match into all of this?

Fake news stories isn't simply a Facebook drawback. Google is involved up to its knees during this, as well.

A story speech communication that Trump beat Democratic candidate Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton within the fashionable vote, in addition as within the body, created it to the highest of Google News within the days following the election. it had been a faux story. Clinton won the favored vote, however Trump secured the 270 electoral votes required to win the presidency.

When folks need to grasp one thing, they typically communicate Google. need to grasp that candidate won the state of Mormon State or Virginia? Google it. need to grasp if the pope supported a candidate? Google it.

If faux news stories area unit showing in searches and Google News spots, info is being propagated.

4. Why cannot faux stories merely be eradicated?

There area unit variety of problems with this question.

Do users need corporations like Facebook and Google deciding what's true or not? as an example, Is it a faux story if one truth is wrong or is it solely a faux story if the complete premise is wrong? however will associate algorithmic program distinguish the difference?

Also, do users need Facebook, for example, to choose what they'll and can't share with their friends?

"The issues here area unit advanced, each technically and philosophically," Zuckerberg wrote within the weekend post. "We ought to take care to not discourage sharing of opinions or to erroneously limit correct content. we tend to don't need to be arbiters of truth ourselves, however instead consider our community and sure third parties."

As to WHO makes the ultimate selections regarding what's faux and what's real news, it'll be a human/machine team. Algorithms are going to be wont to become aware of seemingly offenders and mark them for more examination. At that time, humans seemingly would build the ultimate selections.

To do this, algorithms can ought to be updated, become a lot of refined and be strictly tested before they're unleashed on the Facebook and Google worlds.

5. what is being done to cull faux news stories from our News Feeds and searches?

While Google didn't answer asking for data, Reuters reportable that Google, whereas not addressing the difficulty of pretend news, is functioning to vary its policies therefore websites that run faux content won't be able to use its Adsense advertising network.

Google's move is aimed toward surgical procedure a lot of of the money edges of making faux news.

As for Facebook, Zuckerberg aforementioned the corporate is functioning on a listing of changes that he hopes can curb the quantity of pretend news on the social network.

In his weekend Facebook post, he noted that the corporate is functioning on creating it easier for users to report faux stories; tagging stories that are flagged as false with warnings; dynamic  the businesses ad policies to create it tougher to create cash off faux stories, and developing technology to raised sight faux news.

Jeff Kagan, associate freelance analyst, aforementioned computing and machine learning eventually are going to be a part of the answer to faux stories, by analyzing news articles a lot of quicker and a lot of with efficiency than humans will. however he isn't certain once the technology are going to be able to try this.

"I am certain machine learning is an element of {the thereforelution|the answer} however area unit still in their infancy and area unit solely so useful nowadays," he aforementioned "The answer is sophisticated."
