<p>In order to qualify for the reparations, a person must live state for at least two years before the application deadline of Dec. 31, 2022.</p>
<p><span>“The payment would be an annuity where recipients would receive $123,000 paid out over the course of their life, plus interest,” the Daily Wire report says. “The average black man has a lifespan of 75 years, so if a 30-year-old black man applies for the reparations program he would receive a yearly payment of approximately $2,733 per year from the Oregonian government. If the recipient receives a five percent interest rate on the reparations money, they could receive up to $2,870 per year.”</span></p>

<p>During the impeachment hearing today, Johnson began to harangue Trump for something horrible. Being taller than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.</p>
<p>Benny<br/> ✔<br/> @bennyjohnson<br/> How completely unhinged Democrats have become in this Impeachment hearing?</p>
<p>Member of the Judiciary Committee Hank Johnson (D-GA) just said Impeachment is justified because:</p>
<p>1. Trump taller than Prez. Zelensky</p>
<p>2. Trump had Zelensky's daughter "in the basement duck taped"</p>
<p>WHAT!</p>
<p>Johnson claimed that Trump was taller and his chair was bigger than Zelensky’s so that was somehow intimidating and contributed to an “imbalance of power.” He also claimed that Zelensky looked like his daughter “duct taped in the basement” in the conversation with Trump.</p>
<p>How insane is this? Imagine if Ukraine and Zelensky are listening to this craziness? What must they think when we have such nutty people in government? Who thinks of such things?</p>
<p>The White House responded.</p>
<p>The White House<br/> ✔<br/> @WhiteHouse<br/> JUST IN: Democrats want to impeach the President for [checks notes] being too tall.</p>
<p><span>They also noted how wrong that Johnson was about the chair.</span></p>

<p>On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300 African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a “Negro hunt,” killing every African-American (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find. (Via Grand Old Partisan)</p>
<p>Democrats murdered hundreds of black and white Republicans in the south.</p>
<p>Tuskegee Institute tracked the number of lynchings in the United States. They found that there were 4,743 lynchings in the US from 1882 to 1968. A majority of the lynchings took place in the Democratic South. One in four of the victims were white.</p>

<p>On Thursday Oprah Winfrey campaigned in Georgia for Democrat Stacie Abrams.<br/> Oprah invoked images of lynchings in her support of the far left socialist candidate.</p>

<p>Witches plan to place a public hex on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh through an occult ritual on Oct. 20 in New York City, an event sponsored by Catland Books, which describes itself as “Brooklyn’s premiere occult bookshop & spiritual community space.” The planned ritual has been advertised on Facebook.</p>

<p>Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tweeted Saturday there is a “real” Second Amendment and an “imaginary” one and he believes the real one is “not absolute.”<br/> Murphy tweeted, “I support the real 2nd Amendment, not the imaginary 2nd Amendment. And the real 2nd Amendment isn’t absolute.”</p>
<p>The statement was a precursor to his call for banning “assault rifles” in the wake of the Santa Fe High School shooting, even though “assault rifles” were not used in the attack.</p>
<p>Murphy said the “real 2nd Amendment…allows Congress to wake up to reality and ban these assault rifles that are designed for one purpose only – to kill as many people as fast as possible.”</p>
<p>Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said the Santa Fe High School attackers used a .38 revolver and a shotgun to carry out his heinous acts. Therefore, a ban on “assault rifles” would have done nothing to prevent the attack from occurring or the tragic loss of life from taking place.</p>
<p>It should be noted that Saturday was not the first time Sen. Murphy called the essence of the Second Amendment into question. On August 6, 2013, Breitbart News reported that Murphy told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that “The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right. It has always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has.”</p>
<p>Murphy did not grapple with the words, “Shall not be infringed.”</p>

<p>California Democrats are speechless as they watch their prized Sacramento gun control senator, Leland Yee, head to prison for weapons trafficking, accepting bribes, and extorting money.<br/>“The crimes that you committed have resulted in essentially an attack on democratic institutions,” Breyer told Yee, who nodded as the judge addressed him. “This is a serious, serious injury to a governmental institution.”<br/>Breyer called his involvement in that crime “hypocritical” and “unfathomable” given his past advocacy for gun control.</p>
<p>READ: RUBIO: New Gun Laws Wouldn’t Have Prevented Any Recent Mass Shootings<br/>The judge gave him 30 days to surrender to the U.S. Marshal’s Service, which will turn him over to the federal prison system. Yee’s lawyer asked the judge to recommend the sentence be served at the federal prison in Taft in Kern County.<br/>The 67-year-old Yee had risen steadily in the ranks of Bay Area politics since the late 80s. His career began when he was elected to the San Francisco School Board.<br/>Prior to becoming a state senator, Yee was also a California State Assemblyman. Yee was Supervisor of San Francisco’s Sunset District and was a member and President of the San Francisco School Board. In 2004 Yee became the first Asian American to be appointed Speaker pro Tempore. He was the second highest ranking Democrat of the California State Assembly.</p>
<p>Yee was arrested by the FBI on March 26, 2014 on charges related to public corruption and gun trafficking. Specifically buying automatic firearms and shoulder-launched missiles from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. MILF is an Islamist extremist group located in the southern Philippines.<br/>Yee attempted to re-sell those weapons to an undercover FBI agent. He went further to accept a $10,000 bribe from an undercover agent. This in exchange for placing a call to the California Department of Public Health regarding a contract at the organization.<br/>Former California State Senator Leland Yee admitted this week that he accepted bribes and extorted money.<br/>He acknowledged accepting $11,000 in exchange for setting up a meeting with another state senator, $10,000 for recommending someone for a grant, and $6,800 for providing a certificate on California state senate letterhead honoring the Ghee Kung Tong.<br/>Overall, government officials identified more than $100,000 in bribes directed at Yee during the investigation.<br/>He also acknowledged that he discussed helping an undercover FBI agent buy automatic weapons from the Philippines. They were intended to be brought to the US for distribution.<br/>In a lengthy sentencing memo, prosecutors outlined what they saw as a pattern of bad behavior by Lee that went far beyond the charges he pleaded guilty to.<br/>His dishonesty in the early stages of the investigation, they wrote, “demonstrate a venal attitude toward his position as an elected public official and a willingness to abuse his position of trust in any number of ways. They also reveal a disconnect between the face that Yee puts out to the public and his true nature and character. They necessarily cast a shadow over his career as a public servant and legislation he has sponsored.”<br/>Federal prosecutors pushed for an eight-year sentence for Yee in his political corruption case, describing him in court papers as a public servant who “was willing to betray the trust of those who elected him” and “to sell his vote to the highest bidder.”<br/>“Senator Yee abused that trust in the worst possible way,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan Badger told the judge Wednesday, urging punishment above federal sentencing guidelines. “It was to retain power as a public official.”<br/>The FBI snagged Yee in the course of a five-year probe into reputed Chinatown crime boss Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow.<br/>Chow was convicted of racketeering charges in December and after a lengthy trial is awaiting sentencing.<br/>Yee was a vocal advocate for gun control, both before and while engaged in gun running.<br/>In 2006 Yee was named to the Gun Violence Prevention Honor Roll by the Brady Campaign. It was for his efforts that included co-authoring a first-in-the-nation bill to require new semiautomatic handguns be equipped with ballistics identification technology known as micro-stamping.<br/>In May 2012, together with Kevin de León, Yee proposed legislation to ban any semi-automatic rifle that used a bullet button that makes the rifle a “fixed magazine rifle.” SB 249 would ban conversion kits and rifles.<br/>Yee is quoted as saying, “It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear, there is no debate, no discussion.”<br/>Hypocrite!</p>

<div class="meta"></div>
<div class="meta"><p>As the founder of America’s largest abortion chain, Margaret Sanger’s ideology for Planned Parenthood was cemented in eugenics, the belief and practice that aims to eliminate certain groups of people.</p>
<p>As a eugenicist, Sanger encouraged the sterilization of persons with less desirable qualities, and strongly encouraged the reproduction of groups with more desirable qualities. Sanger’s disdain for blacks, minority groups, and the diseased and disabled spawned the birth of an abortion corporation that profits off the killing of the weakest and most vulnerable. From its conception, Planned Parenthood was built upon the roots of exterminating individuals deemed “unfit” for the human family.</p>
<p>Today, the spirit of Sanger lives on. According to the Guttmacher Institute, the former pro-abortion research division of Planned Parenthood, African-American women are<a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/gpr/11/3/gpr110302.html"> five times more likely</a> to choose abortion over white women. Planned Parenthood clinics are strategically planted in minority communities, targeting blacks and impoverished minority groups, and abortion remains the leading cause of death for the black community.</p>
<p>Below is a compilation of seven shocking quotes from Sanger, a famed eugenicist who birthed America’s largest abortion-on-demand corporation.</p>
<p><span>1) “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<br />
<p></p>
<p>In a <a href="http://smithlibraries.org/digital/files/original/d6358bc3053c93183295bf2df1c0c931.pdf">letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble</a> in December, 19, 1939, Sanger exposited her vision for the “Negro Project,” a freshly launched collaboration between the American Birth Control League and Sanger’s Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau. The letter echoes the eugenic ideologies still visible within the corporate vein of Planned Parenthood today.</p>
<blockquote><p>It seems to me from my experience…that while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts.</p>
<p>We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.</p>
<p>We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.</p>

Amongst political activists however, there is much awareness of this movement. And there has been much debate and consternation regarding the merits of having an Article V Constitutional Convention. This writer is forced, for the current time, to come out against the Article V Constitutional Convention as the best method to address our nations current problems. So widely diverse is this writer's reasons for opposing an Article V Constitutional Convention at this time, that it will take some effort to distill them into coherent, digestible "sound bites".</p>
<p>Before we begin with that task, let us talk a little more about the nuts and bolts of the Article V Constitutional Convention Process. The proposed method of Article V Constitutional Convention being proposed requires that 2/3's (currently 34) of the State Legislatures must vote and submit applications to convene an <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/amendment" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Amendment</a>-Proposing Convention. And then, a 3/4's vote(currently 38) of the States would have to occur for the Proposed Amendment(s) to become part of the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/constitution" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Constitution</a>. You can learn more about Article V Constitutional Conventions <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_to_propose_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">and the Constitutional Convention process here</a>. During the 1970s & 1980s, calls for a Constitutional Convention to require a balanced budget gained 30 applications from the States, failed for need of 34. However, to date, an Article V Constitutional Convention has never been used to amend the Constitution.</p>
<p>There are many issues driving the desire for a Article V Constitutional Convention. This writer's short list includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Making what appears to be unaccountable elected officials, accountable. One means being Term Limits and another means being Campaign Finance Reform.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130416/08344222725/congress-quickly-quietly-rolls-back-insider-trading-rules-itself.shtml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Congressional Insider Trading</a></li>
<li>Systemic Corruption intertwined with Government and Business - Systemic Corruption means that the aspects of government that are supposed to prevent & punish corruption instead are complicit in & cover corruption up</li>
<li>Balanced Budget - While this issue is self evident on the Federal Level, this writer brings to bear the failure of Wright County Minnesota to produce Financial Records he has requested verbally since 2008 and in writing through various avenues since 2009. Despite the fact that all the financial records this writer requested are supposed to be public record, in response to this writer's Natural Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances without fear of retaliation or punishment as reduced to writing in the First Amendment, Wright County unleashed a devastating COINTERLPRO style operation of retribution and punishment against this writer. With that in mind, this writer demands that all Municipalities(Cities, Counties, Schools, Met Councils, Port Authorities and Airport Commissions, etc.) be required to post their actual check ledgers on the internet in layman's terms. Said check ledgers to be fully down loadable to fully functioning spreadsheets like MS Excel.</li>
<li>Erosion of controls the Founder's set in place to guard against the Nature of humankind to be non-virtuous - Amongst these being Checks and Balances, Transparency and Accountability - Glaring amongst these it arrogant and aristocratic denial of WE THE PEOPLE's Natural Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances without fear of reprisal or punishment, as reduced to writing in the First Amendment.</li>
<li>Restoration of the Rule of Law (Constitution) from the Rule of Man to......</li>
</ul>

Progressive Professor Jonathan Gruber was caught on Video and Audio mocking the alleged ignorance of the American masses. (You review this here: <a href="http://t.co/gy7qp08EOo" target="_blank">We've been Grubered</a>). Essentially Progressive Jonathan Gruber openly and brazenly exposed our Progressive Government's belief system. That belief system being that "Progressive Educated Elites have the right and duty to lie to the American Public because rank and file Americans are allegedly too stupid to know what good for them." This writer exposed that Progressive belief system in this article (that some have suggested is worthy of a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize), "<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/engineering-consent" target="_top">Engineering Consent: Subverting the Democratic Process</a>", written months prior to Progressive Professor Jonathan Gruber's now famously exposed arrogant and evil thought processes of our government officials.</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves!</em>"</p>
<p>Edward Murrow</p>
</blockquote>
<p>2014 also bore witness this writer's assertions over the past few years that; "There are not two major political parties, but rather one Tyrant Class pretending to be two parties." Rank and file conservatives reveling in a land side 2014 election victory, were abruptly slapped in the face by Progressive, Pro New World Order RINOs <a href="http://t.co/Pvo4u6vu8f" target="_blank">House Speaker John Boehner</a> and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Casting the Republican Party Platform and Principals to the wind, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell aided and abetted Progressive President Barack Obama in passing a $1.3 Trillion budget that included fully funding Obamacare (ACA) and President Obama's Immigration Amnesty Program from now until January 1, 2016.</p>
<p>And with that foreshadowing, it should come as no surprise that Progressive President Barack Obama, alleged Champion of the down-trodden, disenfranchised and disadvantage, produced the <a href="http://t.co/lueqAjKzQC" target="_blank">greatest wealth disparity in the past 30 years</a>. Can there be any doubt of what every American's number one New Year's Resolution should be about?</p>

<p>Parents, if your number one priority this year is not getting involved in politics and government to secure the economic welfare, freedoms and liberty of your children, your pronouncements of loving your children and being wililng to do anything for them, will henceforward ring hollow. And for you men of the old school belief of what it means to be a man, now is the time for you to come to the aid and comfort of those less able to protect and provide for themselves. This writer is ashamed to say so many of you who call yourself "Real Men", have complied on bent knee before our oppressors, rather than refusing to live on your knees before tyrants. It will disgust this writer if athletes who perform for nothing more than self-aggrandizement and money, fail to make and aggressively act upon meaningful resolutions to help rank and file America cast off this oppressions... yet lay claim to being manly and/or real men. And you bleeding heart Hollywood types who claim to care about your fans will lay bare the phony nature of your concern for the welfare of your fans if you do not lend the full weight of your celebrity and fortunes to rebelling against evil Progressive War against Natural Law, Natural Rights, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law and due Process. Be one and all so advised, those who do not support and act resolutely against those who trespass against rank and file Americans, as an enemy.</p>
