Why I NEVER participate in a Class Action Lawsuit..
A federal appeals court has upheld a settlement in which Southwest
Airlines passengers got free drink vouchers but lawyers who sued the
airline got $1.65 million in cash.
THIS will make you hate lawyers even more

LAUGHING WHILE BLACK ON A TRAIN
By now you have heard this story. Link below. 11 women get on a tourist train thru Napa, wine country, book club, while there they are loud, they laugh, they are asked to tone it down, they try, but it gets loud again, again asked to tone it down, they try but once more it gets loud. Other patrons complain to the manager. Ultimately after three attempts to keep order the whole group is given their money back, and put off the train where a bus is waiting to take them wherever they want to go. There is a policeman there to make certain there is no issue.
Now there is an attempt to make this event a cause celeb of being about
black and abused. I have thought about this. Race has nothing to do
with this.
NO this is about women. Have you been around a group of women, particularly if they get a few bumps in em, They all talk all the time and talk louder and louder to stay above the din. This is a woman thing. I don't even know how they can understand what each other is saying. I have been in restaurants and astonished at how a half dozen of them an all talk at the same time sometimes laughing uproariously and sitting a table away I can't make heads or tails of what anyone is saying.
If you are of the female persuasion you know what I am talking about. Men don't do this. Couples don't do this. Only women. BLACK WHITE PINK OR ORANGE.. WOMEN!! They are genetically programmed to do this and men can't understand it.. at least this one can't.
So please step away from the racism high horse. It's not true here, if that were a loud bunch of white women from St Charles they would have been kicked off too.... if THEY DIDN'T quiet down. The clue is if you get loud and someone says something it would be good to not be loud.. long and short.
Here's the story written from a race perspective.. you figure it out: http://www.theroot.com/…/_11_black_women_kicked_off_napa_wi…

Yesterday I told you what was going to happen in the Stock Market.
If you had
done as suggested you would be richer today. I said don't panic, this
isn't the big one, that's yet to come.
I'm not being prophetic, just a pretty good economist. However long term (to April 2016) you will see a textured decline. Not straight line, but ups some down some...lower highs and lower lows.. but over time with occasional spurts. It's not a real bull because the shape of the trendline will be remade.

Eventually after some restructuring, the market will even back up.
There will be a new bull market IF and WHEN we get a real fiscal
conservative in government, not the guy who is there now and his like,
someone who doesn't believe in fairy dust and magical thinking. I could
see a 20,000 Dow by the end of the first term of a fiscal conservative,
but only after a great deal of bloodletting...that must be to get all
the phony money out of the system. The next shoulder is about 13,000...
and that's where I expect it to land before the next run up.
UNLESS some outside force of nature steps in

I'm nor a Trump fan.. But this is true.. He didn't do any of those things
Donald Trump did not steal your money. Donald Trump did not raise your taxes.
Donald Trump did not quadruple the price of food. Trump is not stirring a race war. Trump did not leave any US soldiers in Benghazzi to be slaughtered and desecrated by Muslims.
Trump did not send the US Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaeda. Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East. Trump did not betray Israel. Trump did not provide financing and technology to Irans nuclear weapons program. Trump did not give our military secrets to China. Trump did not remove our nuclear missile shield in Poland at the behest of Russia. Trump did not shrivel our military, and betray our veterans. Trump did not cripple our economy. Trump did not increase our debt to 20 trillion dollars. Trump did not ruin our credit, twice. Trump did not double African American unemployment. Trump did not increase welfare to a record level for eight years. Trump did not sign a law making it legal to execute, and imprison Americans. Trump did not set free all of terrorists in Guantanamo bay. Trump did not steal your rights, violate US Constitutional law, or commit treason, hundreds of times.
Trump is being ripped apart in the news, non stop. Barrack Hussein, Hillary Clinton and the criminals occupying our government, are not.
The media is the Democratic Party.
Save your culture. Stop listening to them.
He has said NOTHING derogatory about MEXICANS .... He has said what American citizens KNOW..... This country has to close its borders to ILLEGAL Immigration!

Finally, someone who tells the truth! It's what this country needs!
Remember when NYC was a great place to visit and live, BdB.... before DeBlasio?
Now it's a sewer of degradation and destruction. Why do liberals and
democrats destroy everything they touch? When the godly are in
authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they
groan. Proverbs 29:2

Giuliani got so fed up with a homeless man who was using his Upper East
Side block as a bathroom that he personally filed a complaint with
cops. “I myself, two...

The Result of "Don't Make the Black Kids Angry"...
Which,
of course, is the same reason why black schools are also violent and
dangerous in Baltimore, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C.,
Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Rochester, Utica, Albany,
Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg …. this is a very long list.

It's all a matter of perspective
From Bo Tidwell
For what will it
profit a man
if he gains the
whole world
yet forfeits
his own soul?
Matthew 16:26
Mathew
16:26
There is a
kind of perspective; one that is created when an individual sees something or
someone or some situation in a different way for the first time. Sometimes this
changes your perception, sometimes this changes your attitude, and sometimes
this changes your life.
Consider Scott Neeson, a
successful Hollywood mogul; President of Twentieh Century Fox, producer of
blockbuster films like Braveheart, Independence Day, Titanic, X-Men, Star Wars,
and hundreds of others. Living in a mansion, chums with the rich and famous,
exotic cars, beautiful girl friends, a seven figure income, and his own personal
yacht. The American dream by most standards. And he walkd away from it
all.
In 2004, in between films, Scott took a sabbatical, a few
days off for a backpacking trip in Southeast Asia. Upon the invitation of a
friend in Cambodia, he visited Phnom Penh, the capitol, and then ventured out to
Steung Meanchey, the toxic landfill on the outskirts of town, where he
was mortified to find scores of children, rummaging through the rubble looking
for food and recyclables. Among the discarded debris was refuse from hospitals
that included syringes, body parts, even aborted fetuses. The unbearable stench
was an overpowering mix of sulfur, rotting flesh, and human
waste.
It started with two
small girls he befriended at the dump. They were so filthy he had a hard time
determining their gender. He asked to meet their mothers and gave them $10 each.
He then promised their mothers $50 a month if they would clean up the girls and
send them to school each day instead of the dump.
While he looked out the airplane window on his departure
a few days later, he began to wrestle with the disparity between his life and
the lives and futures of these children. He decided to try to come back each
month to see if he could make a difference.
The epiphany came on one of those
trips while standing in the stench and rubble of the dump, surrounded by
children scavenging for their livelihood, when he fielded a call from a
Hollywood agent. The agent proceeded to fume that the plane the studio had
chartered for his Hollywood client, "did not have the correct brand of bottled
water or the food that they required". Then the agent's prima donna client got
on the phone and said, "Scott, my life is not supposed to be this difficult. Fix
it!"
If there were any remaining doubts
about whether this was the right thing to do, that settled it. Within a few
months he left his job, waved goodbye to the seven figure salary, sold the LA
mansion, the Porsche, and the yacht.
Today, his Cambodian Children's Fund provides housing, food,
clothing, health care, education, and vocational training to more than 1,200
children and employs 445 staffers. The children go to public school for half a
day and spend the rest of the day at CCF's own schools, learning English and
computer skills. They now have the possibility of actually having a decent
quality of life.
One
man's epiphany.
Thousands of changed
lives.
Priceless Perspective.
