Seriously, fuck you guys. Thanks for the assist, but we could have saved millions of lives of you’d gotten of your fat asses YEARS ago!”

Korean War (1950–1953) USA v. N. Korea in a proxy war with the USSR and China because fuck those commies, right? We won, even though they kicked our asses and a formal treaty was NEVER signed so technically the war is actually STILL ON.

Laotian Civil War (1953–1975) USA v. Laos and those commie scumbags. Yep. We don’t talk about this one because we LOST.

Simba rebellion, Operation Dragon Rouge (1964) USA and EU Allies v. S.E. Asia in amounted to a total clusterfuck that dissolved Vietnam and was a precursor there as well as other areas. It helped the rise of dictators all throughout the region. Khmer Rouge anyone?

Vietnam War (1955–1975) USA, S. Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand etc. v. China-backed, USSR backed N. Vietnam. The Imperialist WEST v. the Communist EAST. That ended in a shit-show for the West like all proxy wars in southeast Asia do.

Korean DMZ Conflict (1966–1969) USA v. N. Korea because they attempted to convince the S. Koreans to rise up and join the North, throwing out the WEST. No dice for them.

Dominican Civil War (1965–1966) USA v. Dom. Republic insurgents to restore Dem elected government. It worked so well that we would decide never to really do that sort of thing again when doing it the opposite way gets us more money.

Insurgency in Bolivia (1966–1967) USA (CIA) & Bolivia stomp out Che Guevara because we’ll have none of this uprising shit.

Action in the Gulf of Sidra (1986) USA v. Libya because fuck you, Qaddafi, and that bullshit line in the water. We’re sending a carrier group in to show YOU where the REAL line is.

Bombing of Libya (1986) USA v. Libya because they keep bombing shit around Europe and they make us keep coming back. France still likes Libya and wouldn’t let US fighters through their airspace as they left German air bases. US pilots were a bit fatigued having to go around the long way and ‘accidentally’ bombed the French Embassy in Libya...

Tanker War (1987–1988) USA v. Iran because fuck them, that’s why. Iran & Iraq were duking it out and Iran thought shooting at US and allied shipping would be good fun. USS Vincennes then shot down Iran Air Flight 655, killing 290 passengers; 66 of which were children. Yeah, we totally fucked that up hard-core.

Tobruk encounter (1989) USA v. Libya. Again. That line. US F-14′s splash their MIGs. Now, stay. Good Libya.

Invasion of Panama (1989–1990) USA v. Panama dictator Manuel Noriega because he’s an evil cunt. No, not really. It was because he wouldn’t play ball with the US and the CIA. He was a drug lord anyway so fuck him.

Gulf War (1990–1991) USA & Allies v. Iraq because Saddam Hussein needed his dick slapped the fuck back out of Kuwait, a US & EU ally.

Kosovo War (1998–1999) USA and a fuck ton of allies v. Russia-backed Yugoslavia because human rights violations are for US southern CSA states only, fuckers. We sort of won this ‘contest’.

Operation Infinite Reach (1998) USA v. Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, because fuck those ‘towelheads’ we helped push out the Russians! How dare they turn on us imperialists when we treat them like peasants and shit on them? What nerve! How will Big Pharma keep up their poppy fields now? This means war...

THE 21st CENTURY

Yemeni Civil War (2015–present)

American intervention in Libya (2015–present) USA v/ ISIS/ISIL in Libya. It’s as if the war in Iraq pissed off a ton of people in the region along with Israel’s expansion into Palestine territory over the years... Go figure.

THE TRUMP YEARS

Despite fucking over our allies in Syria and being far too cozy with Putin and Kim Jong Un and other dictators, sympathizing with Nazis in the US and having the KKK in his blood, trumplefuckstick hasn’t actually pushed any “NEW” wars upon the US so far. Sure, we’re in a state of chaos and about to collapse into a failed nation-state into that “shithole country” everyone thinks can’t happen here.

The point is:

“HEY JOE FUCKIN’ BIDEN! I DON’T MEAN TO THROW YOU OFF YOUR GAME HERE BUT WHILE I DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE, IT SEEMS THAT AS AMERICANS, IT’S THE ONLY WAY WE DO THINGS HERE TO GET SHIT DONE!”

Still don’t believe me? How about some non-war stuff...

How about EVERY act of white supremacist, KKK driven TERROR on non-whites since the Civil War ended or of the slave owners before them?

How about how our first real “police” in the US were bounty hunters looking for runaway slaves?

How about the Tulsa race massacre when white mobs attacked the black residents and business of the Greenwood District in Tulsa because the good people of Oklahoma didn’t want them “uppity niggers” to be doing as well or better than the white racist fucks were doing. That learned ‘em, didn’t it?

Let’s not forget the anti-union suppression! How about the  Herrin Massacre? During a United Mineworkers of America nationwide strike union miners shot at strikebreakers working at the mine. The mine's guards killed three union miners on June 21, and the miners killed 20 strikebreakers and guards on June 22.

What about the Hanapepe Massacre? During a strike of Filipino sugar workers, in an attempt to rescue two hostage strikebreakers police killed 16 strikers, while strikers killed four law enforcement members.

Kent State shootings: During a protest of the bombing of Cambodia at the University, members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire, killing four and injuring nine people.

Jackson State University shooting: After responding to the University due to a growing unrest, officers opened fire on a dorm building and two students (one from a local high school) were killed and twelve were injured.

There are more, to be sure, but Mr. Biden, you ARE correct in one particular field here- gun violence. Look at this list HERE. So many acts of mass shootings going WAY back before Columbine. What’s been done about this by you, the Democrats or Republicans of the piece-of-shit NRA? Fuck-all NOTHING.

Your truth, Mr. Biden- in this instance, gun violence literally achieves NOTHING.

OVER 60 YEARS OF OLD MAN TRUMP’S COLOR LINE

Daniel Hutchens August 15, 2017

In the 1950s, the brilliant and legendary folk songwriter, Woody Guthrie, of “This Land Is Your Land” fame, returned from service in the Merchant Marine and lived for a while in “Beach Haven.” Which was an apartment complex built by Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump. There were some disturbingly bigoted policies in place at Beach Haven, and Woody was stirred to write some lyrics, telling the plain truth like he usually did:

I suppose Old Man Trump knows Just how much Racial Hate he stirred up In the bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed That color line here at his Eighteen hundred family project… Where no black ones come to roam! No, no, no! Old Man Trump! Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!

Turns out things back in the ‘50s were about the same as they are today, as far as our nation being plagued and pilfered by a racist housing developer named Trump.

Fred Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate Committee in 1954 for profiteering off public contracts, overestimating charges to the government, and other dandy little scams of that nature. Fred Trump was also widely known to be bitterly racist. His homes, as Woody had observed, had a “color line.” No blacks needed apply. This charming little foible persisted into the 1970s, when the Justice Department filed a civil rights case against the Trump firm––which by then involved both Fred and Donald––for racist housing discrimination. Again, no blacks wanted. The case was eventually settled out of court, which became a pattern for Donald, despite his raving during this recent political campaign that he would “never settle.”

Then he paid $25 million out of court to settle fraud claims from his Trump University mega-scam, just a few months after he’d taken office as 45th president of the United States. Keepin’ it classy, as the saying goes.

***********************************************************************

Fast forward to today. It sure didn’t take Trump long to pivot from yesterday’s respectable condemnation of white supremacists, the obviously forced “racism is evil” prepared statement, back to his usual off-script, angry, confrontational, arrogant-little-schoolboy-running-off-at-the-mouth-while-shitting-his-pants-from-pyscyotic-fury-and-fear stance.

I applauded Donald Trump yesterday, for saying what should have been said. Words that could have been a good start toward cooling the venom and division that’s brewing in this country. Even though Trump had obviously been shamed, cajoled and most likely “advised” to make the statement––it mattered. It was an official declaration that America opposes bigotry and the oppression of one race or class by another. It was decent and reasonable and American.

That’s all over now, make no mistake about it. Trump fully outed himself today as a KKK and Nazi sympathizer at heart, no matter what scripts he’s forced to recite. You can hear it in his voice. Anyone with a free mind of your own, just look––watch him. Watch the two videos and see who this man is we have in our White House.

In the carefully scripted “racism is evil” speech, you can see Trump white-knuckling his way through the words. Obviously less-than-pleased about the message he’s grinding out. Satirical columnist Andy Borowitz compared Trump’s delivery to a “man in hostage video…whose robotic performance indicated that he was reading a prepared statement under duress.”

In today’s speech, our boy was BACK. He wasn’t reading from a script. He was arguing with and trying to bully-pulpit a room of reporters. He got to suckle his favorite pacifier with the shiny, simple-minded catch phrase, “You’re fake news!” And he asked us, “What about the alt-Left?…I think there’s blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either.” (You don’t get to tell us what we think, you clueless, classless, woman-fearing little piece of refuse washed ashore from the sewers of reality TV.)

He told us, “This week it’s Robert E. Lee. Is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson?” (No one ever said rich, white, early American men didn’t own slaves, including the Founding Fathers…but if you don’t understand the distinction between…on one hand, two men who shaped our principles of government, occupied the office of American President, and helped frame the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence…and on the other hand, a general who came along generations later, and deserted this country to fight against us with the Confederacy, in an attempt to defend the very principle that white humans are superior to others, and to defend institutionalized slavery in the South…if you just can’t see the difference, we can’t help you, you tiny-brained, tiny-handed, twittering little tyrant.)

He told us, “I watched this very closely” (the incident in Charlottesville). “I watched it much more closely than you people watched it.” (Prove it.) “You had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?” (No, it’s not okay, Nutty Professor. Again, prove it. And, if there were non-racist “decent people” among those marchers, as you contend, wouldn’t they have felt a little uncomfortable sandwiched between a squadron of heavily-armed, vile-racial-epithet-shoutin’, “Heil Trump” chantin’, swastika-and-Conferedate-flag-wavin’ mutants?)

Trump had held it in. You could hear the gluttonous relish in his voice as he let it all bust loose again. He tore into the reporters with the vengeance of a junkie who’d been deprived of his stash. His advisers can’t cage him. He came out of hiding, and we saw it happen right before our eyes, the werewolf-like transformation, back into the real creep behind the golden curtain. Our freak of nature. Our Hate-Monger in Chief. Our two-headed American Monster.

*************************************************************************

So there it is. Another fine mess. Why does all this matter? Shouldn’t we just be used to the brazen lies and arrogant indecency by now? It matters because Trump is encouraging dangerous idiocy. The stench is drifting back up from the latrine:

White Nationalist leader Richard Spencer praised Trump’s tantrum today: “I’m proud of him for speaking the truth.”

Former Imperial Wizard of the KKK David Duke said, “Thank you President Trump for your honesty and courage to tell the truth about #Charlottesville and condemn the Leftist terrorists.”

Following Trump’s first weak-kneed speech about Charlottesville, neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer said, “We have an army! This is the beginning of a war!…Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us…He said he loves us all…No condemnation at all…When asked to condemn, [Trump] just walked out of the room. Really, really good. God bless him”

Yeah…the ugly side of his support base is getting hungry. They’ve been pushed to the edges of society for a long, long time. As they righteously should be, with extreme prejudice. But they’ve got an agent on the inside now, and they’re slithering up toward the gates.

So many extremely conservative Republicans have by now bashed the white supremacists in no uncertain terms. But the Trump administration is a new beast. Not Republican, not Conservative, not American…a brand new ugliness.

The extremely conservative Senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch, hit a nerve when he said, “We should call evil by its name. My brother didn’t give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home.”

But maybe the former Republican Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, best summed up why traditional conservative Republicans are disgusted with the alt-Right, in the following tweet:

“ ‘White Supremacy’ crap is worst kind of racism––it’s EVIL and perversion of God’s truth to ever think our Creator values some above others.”

That statement really reconnects to the heart of the issue. The white supremacists hold a basic belief that they’re superior to other races, religions, etc. And they want to legislate that belief into action in our society. If certain members of the “alt-Left” engage in violence, or behave badly in whatever way––then it’s reasonable to condemn those actions. But they aren’t promoting a hideous, oppressive, bigoted belief system. They’re trying to defend themselves. And that difference is why any decent American president would speak out specifically against white supremacy, without hedging and hem-hawing and giving the old nod and wink of approval to his brethren.

**********************************************************************

Yep…old Woody Guthrie knew what he was talking about. His lyrics about “Old Man Trump”, sadly, ring more true today than ever.

I suppose Old Man Trump knows Just how much Racial Hate he stirred up In the bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed That color line

religion and politics part 1

This class was very interesting to me because it introduce me about varies religious outlines exist in America companies, organization and politics. Religion were explained  in a secular bases which is kind of hard to reach out and talk about from a person who have a faithful bases .However we study each type of religion without exploring the  faith reason or logic behind it. I believe that when people start reasoning their religion by asking why I am doing this or that or what the benefit from it is, they can result reaching out what is faith and how to obtain it, and they will surly move out from doubt to certainty. In the class we put the light on the  three main groups of the most popular religions in the world which are Christianity ,Islam and Jewish .Then  we  discuss  Amish, Mormon ,catholic ,evangelical, protestant Christian  which can be classified as groups that  integrated form Christianity religion.  Jehovah witness integrated form Jewish religion.

We studied how all these religious groups approach United State  politics in different ways ,the first amendment of constitution which says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”; ….).this give freedom practicing to any religion ,and  politics have no right to impose any religion in any one living in the united states ,but  we can see clearly that politics  still have the power to regulate these religions in a way that fit with public view and serve it is own benefit. Otherwise for example there will not be need to the supreme court to decide whether Amish children should  goes to the public  school or not; or  impose that Jehovah  witness should get blood transfusion when there is emergency state or not.

2-Amish

Amish people is one religious group we categorized in class , they were appeared  in the sixteenth century during the reformation in Switzerland ,they broke away from Anabaptist branch in 1693 ,today  there are 200000 Amish reside in twenty eight states .one thing I was surprised  about them that they  do not believe in technology development, so they do not owns or use cars  nor electricity , or telephones .They do not believe in change ,so most time they separate  themselves from the outside world .

In terms of politics, Trump election campaign tried to reach Amish community in order to get some of their voices that might change the election result .So he made an advertising flier “Hard working, pro-life, Family dedicated just like you”. But the problem was that Amish do not have any communication with the government, and they did not see the TV’s adds that Trump has made to dedicate them. If you ask them why do not vote they will say ‘we are praying’ Politician thinks that   it is praised that they are praying, but their voice in election is also important to make some sort of change. In 2004   president George Bush have made the most successful performance in getting thirteen hundred Amish voices to increase his election result  by  about 160 percent ,but Bush is different than Donald trump in the eyes of Amish people . Amish people often will excommunicate someone who had divorce or have Bank rampancy therefore there were a small chance of getting much voices from Amish for Trump, while on the other hand since many of them do not know about Trump’s past would might still give him their voices.

Amish people do not want to send their children to the government schools, this was kind of ironically to me. Because if their children did not have a solid knowledge about United State educations and they are living here how they will face the government if it issued a judge go against them.

The question remain for Amish people is refusing   to have any sort of communication with the world and using technology is supported by a context exist in the bible? Or it is their own desire of having their own new style of life.

3-Mormon

We went through Mormon religion in class and it was started at eighteenth century, and was associated with the name of Joseph Smith at the early 19th century. A little contemplator of the Mormons immediately discovers that their doctrines are a little bit connected to Christian but at the same time they deny most of the basic facts in the Christianity religion.

Even though Mormons show that they care a lot about political issues but in reality they believe that all governments are illegitimate, they alone have the right to issue laws to individuals and to appoint rulers and kings. The kingdom of God includes only the kingdom of Mormons, and they see the wealth of the group and that they have to work every week for a day or two for the group sake.

 Mormon have similar idea like Jewish

The crucial issue that occupied the world today is the political conflict about the Jerusalem.  Mormon believe that America is at the heart in the midst of the events of the end of days, so they are waiting for the coming of the second Messiah. They expect to build a New Jerusalem in America, either in Missouri or Utah, as they believe in the Israelite assembly and the restoration of the ten tribes and that Christ will be on earth from America.

When the Messiah returns to the "Millennium King" he will establish two cities as his main headquarters, one in Jerusalem and the other in Missouri, where he runs the affairs of his theocratic (spiritual) kingdom. The offspring of Ephraim the son of Joseph the young, and then reunite the Jews from all over the world and then classifies them as the remaining ten tribes.

 Reading with analysis about Mormon you can know that they have some races issue too. For example some black people are not able to achieve full power in the Mormon churches, as the video says that in this time and as in the past the church did not give privilege to hold the priesthood for those of African Negro ancestry.  There were a question of what is the church explanation for excluding the black from the priesthood? the answer were stated from the first president of the church whose stated in 1969 “from the beginning of this dispensation joseph smith and all succeeding presidents of the church have taught that the negroes while spirit children of a common father and the progeny of our earthly parents Adam and Eve were not yet to receive the priesthood for reasons which we believe are known to God but what she not has made fully known to man”. Mormon religion does not allow for women or black people to be in a higher position in the church and ironically there is thousands of black people are members of Mormon churches today.

I do not believe any religion on earth support the idea of racism otherwise God would not create this differences in human been ,however Joseph smith might have connected to races issues  in his sick mind that he had the ability to lie on God saying he have reason for not allowing the black to reach higher  position in church.

4-Catholic charge and the black mass

We study Catholic conservative in the class ,church is against the black masses movement was one event I found interesting to categorize .It clearly shows how catholic conservative have a strong believe in the sacred marry and they will go against  any distort to her  . In the midst of mounting protests, the followers of Satan are planning to hold a second black mass at the Civic Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City on August 15, 2016. The general desecration of God and the Catholic Mass will violate a statue of the Virgin Mary, to heaven on the same day.

In this regard, Satan and sexual perpetrator Adam Daniel one of the satanic follower declared that he would pray to Satan through a blasphemous mass followed by a bloody ritual called "consumption of Mary." The rituals will be erected on the property of the city.

John Richie, director of the student movement at the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, who hopes to collect 200,000 petitions against Black Mass before the end of the week, said: "Every American should oppose this abhorrent abomination to God."

"Many righteous people stand up for a peaceful protest. More than 146,000 people signed the petition to Mayor Mary Fallen and Mayor Mick Cornett urge them to abolish the act of hatred of the Blessed Mother. Every voice is important in this spiritual battle. "

The followers of Satan are spiritual destruction, lies and darkness. When we say "God bless America," we mean it. We love God alone. Satan is not welcome. Satan is excluded from our land because the nation flourishes and grows as much as embraces truth, goodness and beauty. "

"But, unfortunately, there is an abnormal understanding of freedom of expression that gives permission to evil to undermine our beloved nation. Darkness wants to remove God from our culture. However, we cannot allow this to happen or sit idly by and watch this abuse of God before our eyes without a full response to prayer. "

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property will therefore hold a peaceful prayer for atonement at the civic center of the city of Oklahoma at 5:30 pm on August 15.

In conclusion, Ritchie said: "The Black mass Liturgy is an overt abuse to God, so the compensation will be public. God will always overcome the darkness of Satan. "

So here you can how the freedom of  expression of practicing one religion can overlap to make harmful effect  for another religion,  specially when it directly connected  to a sacred meaning to that group and not for the other group  .Therefor I think freedom of expression should be limited to some point  that when it touch another property or religion for a  group  and cause  them sort of harm  , then there should be some regulation to it .

 5-evangelicals approach politics

 We study in our class evangelicals who are the most powerful religious influential group in the United States, they form a great percent so that 57% of people who participate in presidential low are categorized as a new born or evangelicals.

Today they intensively using media, such as adds, newspaper, TV’s shows to affect the public nation in order to mobilize states who are older Christians to the old guard notion, especially in states like Iowa and South Carolina.

We can notice clearly how the evangelical have power and their voices in the election were very important , As we can see in the video 500 evangelical invited the president  Trump to privet meeting in order to  test   Trump’s believe and Hilary believe and compare it to the Christian  doctrine.  

A recording  video from both Trump and Hillary was sent for one thousand  National Hispanic evangelicals .President  Thump’s mentioned  Hispanic minorities  in his speech and praise them , while Hillary was mentioning immigrants and the united Methodist united faith.

But at the end the result for both was highlighted from a survey was taken from people that showed that 67% of registered evangelicals of barn group have unfavorable view of Trumps while 81% of them have unavertable view of Clinton.

So you can see that evangelical’s religion is most dominant religion in America politics. That  return to the new ideology  that evangelicals came up with “new born  “ this idea give people hope in Christianity religion to follow the Jesus way , and it make people believe that they can get a new step toward loving Christianity religion again after they have hated it because of the crusades.

For me personally I did not know how much evangelicals form in America politics until this class, but I have seen a documentary about them showing their effect on one country such as Sudan which is in the middle east .There were a great effect of evangelicals on this country, they get advantage from the week situation that Sudan’s people were suffering form and started their missionary’s to change people religion by giving them money and make them live privilege live.  They keep doing that until they changed all of the southern part of Sudan to become evangelicals Christian.

6-Approval of the construction of a mosque near the site of the September 11attacks in New York

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City's landmark landmarks on Tuesday paved the way for the construction of a mosque near the site building of the September 11 attacks.

In a controversial case at the national level, the nine-person Main Committee voted unanimously to deny the status of a "milestone" for an old building on the site of the planned center.

The municipal landmark committee's decision allows the demolition of a building near a site that housed the World Trade Center tower and paves the way for the construction of the Cordoba house, which will include a small mosque and a 500-seat hall within a 13-storey cultural complex.

The project raised opposition from protesters who considered the site selection inappropriate and lacking sensitivity in a city that has not yet settled on how to commemorate the victims of attacks by who they think is “Islamic militants”.

Critics had hoped to block the project by issuing a declaration that the building was a historic landmark and argued that it deserved protection because parts of the hijacked aircraft had hit the building.

But members of the committee argued that the Italian-style building dates back to 1857 and is located among many companies that have no historical value.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the landlords could either approve the landmark committee or not approve the opening of a mosque inside the existing building. In a speech in which Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist clerics joined, he said the United States was based on religious freedom.

"I hope the mosque will help bring people closer to our city and help refute the false and hateful notion that the September 11 attacks are in any way compatible with Islam," Bloomberg said.

Some critics have commented on comments by Imam Faisal Abdul Raouf, who leads the project that "US policies have been instrumental in the crime that has taken place." They considered the comments to be evidence of the center's hidden motives.

Abdul Raouf, a Muslim cleric born in Kuwait, opened his first mosque in New York in 1990. Abdul Raouf condemned the September attacks and was later used by the FBI to teach how to observe sensitivity during law enforcement.

Another debate over how the center would raise $ 100 million was needed to fund the project, sparking speculation that money could come from extremist groups in the Middle East.

Property owner Jamal Al Sharif denied such allegations and said the money would come from a combination of stocks, bonds, grants and contributions.

He also described the location of the project, one block from the World Trade Center site, as a coincidence and said it had been bought to meet the needs of the growing Muslim community.

I think there can be two opinions about this issue, first if we stand against building the mosque, then we will prove that there is not “freedom of religion in America” as the constitution state and people will continue hate Muslims and discriminate them. On the other hand if we stand with building the mosque we should consider the sensitivity of people who have lost some of their family and believe it is because of Islamic religion doctrine, moreover building it might have a slight chance to introduce people about real Islamic faith.

The response to the Chaffetz bill was swift and unapologetic I hope that issue goes away. Signs are that it hasnt, particularly in Utah, where the worlds largest outdoor retail show pulled its event last month over what some sponsors claim are repeated assaults by Utah politicians on public land protections. The show generates $45 million for the Salt Lake City economy, according to the Outdoor Industry Association. With the backing of BHAs 10,000 members, Tawneys voice was among the loudest in opposition to Chaffetzs bill. And thats a BHA tradition. Since the group formed around a campfire in 2004 in Oregon, defending public lands has been the groups mission. The group has gained steam in recent years, increasing its staff size and reach. When Tawney began, there was one other full-time employee; today there are 13. Citizens of every state are among its members, and it has chapters in 26, including Minnesota, where membership has grown from 175 to 215 in the past five months.

When it really comes in handy is on snow days. Winter days, whether school is cancelled or not, can be hard with young children. I have three school-aged children who love sledding and snowman building as much as the next kid, but inevitably their gloves get wet and cold and someone throws a poorly aimed snowball to the face and its only a matter of time before everyone is inside needing a break from each other and somehow expecting me to entertain them all at once. Enter the kitchen timer. Set up stations in your home and assign each kid to a station. Set the timer for however long you think your children will stay focused on the activity. In our house its usually somewhere around 20 to 30 minutes. I usually do four stations. One is a baking or cooking project in the kitchen with me. The second is a craft station at the dining room table. I pull all the watercolor paints, stickers, markers, crayons and glitter glue out and set a child to work on a big roll of construction paper. I usually do a quiet station, which at our house is playing with game fishing equipment Legos, a snap circuit set or whatever toy they feel like playing with. And finally, everyones favorite, a technology station. My kids get to play an educational game on the iPad or watch a show.

The best dredge to pull is the type of dredge that switch-baiting, the clicker on, and the line held down low on the stern by a release clip, which has just enough tension on the clip to hold the bait but still allow for an easy release. For example a triple tiered dredge with three 36 inch arms, or a step with one 11-inch teaser bringing up the rear of the second dredge. Dredges are also used in connection with the work of the naturalist dredge fishing seriously. In order to get your dredge down the Bay of Islands boat Harlequin, where baits were the norm in places like the Three Kings grounds.

On my boat, I position the dredges 20 or so feet back, and five to 10 feet hold the rod high, ready for when the fish sees your lone bait fish apparently struggling just behind the rest.

The easiest and least expensive dredges are the holographic, “do-it-yourself” approach. From Strip Teaser baits, rubber Chad teaser baits, and boating may be achieved by using a simple hand line. So when you factor in the dredges just behind and below that commotion, my surface teasers i.e., spreader bars and/or daisy chains in clean water the school and can be dropped back to a game fish that has risen to the dredge. Due to their effectiveness teasers have always equipped with large reels spooled with 200- to 300-pound line are often used. However, just when we thought we’d nailed it, the following teaser presents the three-dimensional illusion of a large, underwater bait ball attempting to take shelter below the boat hull.
