WHO BROKE the NUREMBERG CODE???

Let’s start with those already now identified:

1. The CDC.
2. The WHO.
3. The governments of all those countries who mandated masks, tests and/or injections.
4. The vaccinators/medics/doctors/nurses/paramedics
5. The schools
6. The Hospitals
7. The Health trusts
8. The Health departments
9. Most corporations
10. Scientists who advised the above.
11. MPs/government ministers
12. The Unions
13. Shops
14. Transport systems
15. The police
16. The army
17. Anyone who conspired, aided and abetted, or was complicit in assisting any of the above.

I’m exhausted just from writing that list….

It’s so depressing to realise that so many members of our society are CLUELESS about the Nuremberg Code, the Nuremberg Trials and the Rule of Law.

IGNORANCE of the LAW is NO DEFENCE

All those in breach of the Nuremberg Code WILL be held liable for their actions and omissions in imposing/mandating/directions/policies/statements/advertising etc in relation to tests, masks and injections

ObamaCare Extended To Policing Gun Ownership318 Comments

BY THOMAS MCARDLE

01/05/2016 11:09 AM ET

 View Enlarged Image

"If you like your gun, you can keep your gun" is definitely not anything you'll be hearing from President Obama soon.

You may never have thought that a simple visit to the doctor could lead to the FBI breathing down your neck, but the president's new executive actions on gun control could lead to just that, mortally wounding the long-established presumption of doctor-patient confidentiality.

Obama's directives apparently trump long-standing federal rules preventing doctors from disclosing mental health matters. Now the executive branch will "expressly permit certain HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) covered entities to disclose to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) the identities of individuals who are subject to a Federal 'mental health prohibitor' that disqualifies them from shipping, transporting, possessing or receiving a firearm."

Currently, if a doctor discloses a patient's private information without that patient's authorization, the physician could be sued for malpractice or invasion of privacy. The president now apparently wants violating that confidential bond to be treated as an act that promotes public safety.

And the question of "mental health" is entirely subjective. If you tell your doctor you woke up Monday morning feeling like killing yourself, or that your spouse made you mad enough to reach for your hunting rifle, will that warrant a call to the FBI? Will a federal SWAT team then pounce, just in case you have a gun or two in the house? Such law enforcement overreach is by no means an outlandish scenario.

The ObamaCare database, it turns out, was only the beginning of this administration's violations of the medical privacy of Americans. Now doctors are set to be enlisted in the nation's federal gun police

What???Why??? You think get some reward out of this??? Obama to reverse Bill Clinton strategy, increase number of licensed gun dealers


President Obama and former President Bill Clinton mark the 20th anniversary of AmeriCorps, which promotes volunteerism and community service, on the South Lawn at the White House in Washington on Sept. 12, 2014. (Associated Press)

By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Thursday, December 31, 2015
Twenty years after President Clinton tackled gun control by drastically reducing the number of licensed firearms dealers in the U.S., President Obama is preparing to tackle gun control by increasing the number of licensed gun dealers.

The different approaches of the two Democratic presidents is just one sign of how the politics of firearms has been transformed, and of Mr. Obama’s scaled-back ambitions despite a string of high-profile gun massacres during his time in office.

With his gun agenda blocked in Congress, Mr. Obama is expected to announce executive actions imposing new gun regulations soon after the holidays. One of the most likely changes is a rule that would require dealers who exceed a certain number of gun sales each year to obtain a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and to perform background checks on buyers.

PHOTOS: Top 10 handguns in the U.S.

The action contemplated by the White House hinges on the legal definition of those who are “engaged in the business” of buying and selling guns for profit as their livelihood. Current law doesn’t set a total number of annual gun sales to qualify as a business, but Democratic lawmakers and gun control advocacy groups are urging the White House to issue the rule as a way to close the “gun show loophole” that allows firearms to be sold without background checks at such expositions.

Federally licensed gun dealers are required to perform background checks on all gun sales, and only people who are deemed to be “engaged in the business” of dealing in guns are required to get ATF licenses.

Whether or not such action would have any appreciable effect on gun violence, it’s essentially the reverse of Mr. Clinton’s far more direct response to gun crime in the mid-1990s.

PHOTOS: Best states for concealed carry — ranked worst to first

Laws passed under the Clinton administration, such as the Brady Law and the Violent Crime Control Act of 1994, changed the licensing procedures for federal firearms licensees by increasing fees and requiring gun dealers to submit photographs and fingerprints as part of their applications.

Primarily because of the increased regulation, the number of federal firearms licensees dropped from about 282,000 in 1993 to fewer than 104,000 by 1999.

“The complaints from the gun-control groups [in the 1990s] were that there were way, way too many FFLs, and the government needed to crack down on and reduce the number of licensees,” said Lawrence Keane, general counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry’s trade association. “Now all of a sudden, we’re hearing the gun control groups say there aren’t enough licenses, and everybody needs to have a license.”

Gun homicides reached a peak in the U.S. in 1993 at seven homicides per 100,000 people and steadily declined after that to 3.8 homicides per 100,000 people in 2000. Researchers are still trying to reach a consensus on the causes for the drastic decline.

Since 2000, the gun homicide rate has remained relatively flat, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center. From 2010 to 2013, the most recent year for which data are available, the number of gun homicides has hovered between 11,000 and 12,000 per year.

Despite the reduction, most Americans think gun violence is on the rise. Pew’s survey in 2013 found that 56 percent of Americans believed the number of gun crimes had gone up compared with 20 years ago, while 12 percent said gun crimes had declined.

A Pew survey in July 2015 found that 85 percent of Americans (88 percent of Democrats and 79 percent of Republicans) favored expanded background checks for private gun sales and purchases at gun shows.

Blocked on the Hill

The Senate stopped an effort in 2013 to expand background checks on gun purchases. But Democratic lawmakers urged Mr. Obama last month to eliminate ambiguity in federal laws surrounding the term “engaged in the business” as it pertains to licensed firearms dealers.

The Obama administration is preparing to impose its first financial sanctions on Iran since it forged a landmark nuclear agreement in July, presenting a major test for whether Tehran will stay committed to the deal.

The penalties would target about 12 companies and individuals for their alleged role in developing Iran's ballistic-missile program,
which has conducted two test firings over the past few months.

While the U.S. maintains its rights to blacklist Iranian entities suspected of involvement in missile development, Iranian officials have warned that Supreme Leader Khamenei would view such sanctions as violating their nuclear accord.

Mrs. Anthony Weiner = Hillary 2.1

[-yt]1ju3Apn6Hqw[/yt]


POSTED: July 26, 2013
I SAT THERE watching the television screen as Anthony Weiner squirmed before the microphones for the second time in two years, and realized that this was a déjà vu moment.

At first I thought it was because the former congressman and aspiring mayoral candidate was, once again, apologizing for tweeting and cheating without really meeting.

And then I took one look at Weiner's wife and realized that this had absolutely nothing to do with the fellow. Huma Abedin might have creamy olive skin, beautiful brown eyes and long dark hair, but you don't need to put her in a pantsuit and slap a headband on her tresses to realize that we are now in the presence of Hillary Clinton, version 2.1.

We all remember the pre-Senate, pre-State Department Hillary who inspired both awe and revulsion for her assault on the East Wing. Never before had we been treated to a first lady who so blatantly and brazenly sought equal status with the guy we'd actually elected. Eleanor Roosevelt, her idol, had exercised a considerable amount of weight behind the scenes. But it wasn't until Franklin died that she really came into her own.

Not so Mrs. Clinton, or, rather, Mrs. Rodham Clinton. It was painfully obvious to anyone paying attention that Bill's wife was hell bent on giving us that two-for-one bargain that the couple had promised during the campaign. Say what you will about her, Hillary was a force to be reckoned with. And praised. And loathed.

Even her most strident enemies didn't underestimate her survival instincts. Health care? (If at first you don't succeed. . . .) Whitewater? (Did anyone say rafting?) Vince Foster? (Personal tragedy, nothing more.) And then came the stream of women: Gennifer (no relation,) Paula (a genuine victim) and, of course, "A little bit of Monica." Anyone who thought that Hillary was going to let the Bimbo Bombs destroy her carefully constructed plans clearly didn't know just who they were dealing with.

Our first lady stood by her philandering man and rode the crest of a sympathetic wave into the Senate. Mrs. Wynette Goes To Washington, so to speak.

And who did she take with her on that long and fruitful journey, ever upward, ever more successfully? Why none other than Mrs. Weiner, the lovely, inscrutable Huma. Hillary once said that she had one daughter, but that if she had another it would be her beloved personal assistant. Huma Abedin has been by her mentor's side for almost two decades, and it is reasonable to think that she spent a large part of that time taking notes about how to thrive and survive in the political jungle.

Therefore, it is not surprising that she (1) chose to marry an animal indigenous to that environment i.e., a cheetah, and (2) figured out how to make sure that she could withstand whatever wounds he managed to inflict on their shared ambitions. Anthony's wife has taken a page from her pseudo-mama's dog-eared book and has perfected the art of damage control.

First, you assume a posture of dignified disappointment, wherein your whole body seems to just "sigh" under the weight of the offensive conduct. It's a cross between an "I can't believe he did this to me" and a "boys will be boys, God bless their randy little hearts."

Then, you gaze sadly at the perpetrator as he stares into the camera and apologizes for the second, third or 13th time for being a pervert with his privates.

Then, you allow him to draw a line in the sand where he says he might be sorry but he won't go gentle into that good campaign and is continuing to seek the mayoral prize.

And then you spring into action. You straighten your shoulders, raise your pointed chin, allow a few wisps of that luxuriant velvet hair to fall across your delicately drawn cheek and assume a stoic pose. You love him, you say. You believe in him, you say. You forgive him, you say.

You idiot, we say.

But you do not hear us speaking, because you do not care what the peanut gallery thinks. This is not about the crowds massed to watch this public shaming. This is not even about your husband who, truth be told, is probably sleeping in the garage these days, which is why he has both the time and the inclination to tweet.

This is about something far more important to you, perhaps almost as important as the future of the child you and the Tweeter have in common. This is about your political survival.

Huma Abedin learned at the feet of a master, someone who might very well parlay her experience as scorned wife into an office in the West Wing.

Huma is a bit more modest, of course. Seems she'd be content to redecorate Gracie Mansion.

Christine M. Flowers is a lawyer.

One country’s novel approach to stopping ISIS propaganda
DECEMBER 2, 2015

Authorities in Russia’s predominantly Muslim republic of Chechnya have organized classes to stave off Islamic State recruitment.

Thousands of Russian Muslims have joined ISIS in Syria, and some have taken senior positions.

Islamic militancy has engulfed Russia’s North Caucasus, Dagestan in particular, following two separatist wars in neighboring Chechnya. While nearly 1,000 people are believed to have left Dagestan from Syria, the number of Chechen recruits is far lower.

Chechnya’s authoritarian leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, said last month that less than 500 Chechens are believed to have joined ISIS and that about 200 of them have already been killed. Kadyrov has recently gone as far as offering to send thousands of Chechen fighters as ground troops to fight IS.

Local students say many of their peers are tempted to go to Syria because they believe in a true Islamic state there.

“Even those girls who study well are trying to go there (to Syria),” said Grozny student Albina Maltsagova.

To counter ISIS propaganda, Islamic clerics and government officials are holding meetings with high school and university students on how to avoid ISIS recruitment, explaining that the group distorts the true meaning of the Quran.

Djamalulail Said-Khamzat, deputy head of Chechen parliament’s international relations committee, said young people from poorer families are more susceptible to ISIS recruitment and get lured by its propaganda videos posted online.

Supreme Court about to strike down Affirmative Action?

Supreme Court about to strike down Affirmative Action?

LINKEDIN

It could be the most controversial ruling the Supreme Court has made in years. Legal analysts are saying it’s possible the Supreme Court could totally end the use of race in college admissions nationwide, a practice long opposed by conservatives.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday weighed the case, which involves the University of Texas but could have repercussions for all private colleges, and a ruling is expected in the next few months.

With liberal and conservative justices starkly divided, the justice who almost certainly will dictate the outcome suggested that the court may need still more information to make a decision in a Texas case already on its second trip through the Supreme Court.

“We’re just arguing the same case,” Justice Anthony Kennedy said, recalling arguments first held in 2012 in the case of Abigail Fisher. “It’s as if nothing has happened.”

Kennedy said additional hearings may be needed to produce information that “we should know but we don’t know” about how minority students are admitted and what classes they take to determine whether the use of race is necessary to increase diversity at the University of Texas.

Fisher has been out of college since 2012, but the justices’ renewed interest in her case appeared to be a sign that the court’s conservative majority is poised to cut back, or even end, affirmative action in higher education.

Their skepticism about it was on display during more than 90 minutes in a packed courtroom.

“What unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class?” Chief Justice John Roberts asked at one point, challenging a part of Texas’ argument that says its program is needed to increase diversity at the classroom level.

Justice Antonin Scalia suggested it’s possible that some black students would benefit from being at a “slower-track school,” instead of Texas’ flagship campus in Austin, where some are “being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them.”

But it was not clear from the arguments whether Kennedy would go as far as his conservative colleagues to deal a blow to race as a factor in college admissions.

Potentially complicating the outcome, Justice Elena Kagan is sitting out the case because she worked on it at an earlier stage at the Justice Department, before joining the court. Her absence creates the possibility of a 4-4 split. That would resolve the case in Texas’ favor, but say nothing about the issue nationally. The other three liberal justices appeared solidly in favor of the Texas program.

The arguments focused on whether the university has compelling reasons to consider race among other factors when it evaluates applicants for about one-quarter of its freshman class. Most students are admitted to the university through a plan that guarantees slots to Texans who graduate in the top 10 percent of their high school classes.

Fisher says the “top 10” program works well to bring in Hispanic and African-American students, without considering race. Bert Rein, representing Fisher, said the university can take other steps to diversify its student body without explicit reference to race, including reducing its reliance on standardized test scores.

But Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has said she benefited from affirmative action, said Rein was calling on Texas to take steps that would “reduce its educational quality.” Justice Clarence Thomas, an affirmative action opponent who has said he felt stigmatized by racial preferences, was customarily silent during the arguments.

Texas says the “top 10” program alone is not enough and that the school needs the freedom to fill out incoming classes as it sees fit. Gregory Garre said on behalf of the university that minority enrollment plummeted at top public universities in California and Michigan after they ended the consideration of race.

“Now is not the time and this is not the case to roll back student-body diversity in America,” Garre said.

Justice Samuel Alito said the university is engaging in “terrible stereotyping” by suggesting there is something “deficient about the African-American students and the Hispanic students who are admitted under the top 10 percent plan.”

Twelve years ago, the justices reaffirmed the consideration of race in the quest for diversity on campus. Their decision set a goal of doing away with such programs in 25 years.

“When do you think your program will be done?” Roberts asked Garre, who would not provide a date.

The court first heard Fisher’s case in 2012; the case ended inconclusively with a tepid decision that ordered a lower court review. The federal appeals court in New Orleans has twice upheld the Texas admissions program and rejected Fisher’s appeal.

Fisher’s case was conceived by Edward Blum, an opponent of racial preferences. Blum also is behind lawsuits against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina that aim to eliminate any consideration of race in college admissions.

Texas is unique in marrying the top 10 plan to a separate admissions review in which race is one of many factors considered. The university’s current freshman class is 22 percent Hispanic and 4.5 percent African-American. White students make up less than half the school’s freshmen.

Eight states prohibit the use of race in public college admissions: Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

The Obama administration, dozens of colleges and many of the nation’s largest businesses support Texas in defending its program.

There also are competing arguments over whether racial preference programs actually limit the number of students from Asian backgrounds, who are disproportionately represented in student bodies relative to their share of the population.

A decision in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, 14-981, is expected by late June.

Contempt of Congress! Obama lied about Bergdahl deal
DECEMBER 10, 2015

here’s outrage in Congress over the Obama administration’s handling of the U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl case and some lawmakers are claiming the president’s actions broke the law.

House Republicans are claiming in a new report that the White House knowingly misled Congress about the effort to release five Taliban detainees at Guantanamo Bay for Bergdahl, who was held captive by the militant group for nearly five years. Bergdahl was captured after he allegedly deserted his post in a combat zone.

Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee released a 98-page report Wednesday on its inquiry into the case of the so-called Taliban Five after lawmakers expressed outrage that the Obama administration did not give Congress a 30-day notice about transferring the detainees to Qatar, as required by law.

The five Taliban leaders, held at the military prison in Cuba, were informed that they were being released two days before the administration told Congress, the report said. They were put on a plane bound for Doha, Qatar on May 31, 2014, less than three hours after Bergdahl was released into U.S. custody.

Bergdahl of Idaho, was charged in March with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, a charge that carries up to life in prison.

The probe into the exchange involved 16 classified interviews totaling 31 hours, perusing more than 4,000 pages of written material, trips to Qatar and Guantanamo Bay and the review of several hours of classified video about the preparations for the transfer and how the five were flown to Qatar.

The report from House Republicans reiterated lawmakers’ complaint and a General Accounting Office finding that the transfer violated the National Defense Authorization Act and other laws. It said the Pentagon’s own Office of Detainee Policy was kept out of the loop about the prospective exchange.

“In the months preceding the Taliban Five transfer, the administration did not communicate any of the specifics or contemplated courses of action to the committee, and the information it did convey was misleading and obfuscatory,” the report said.

A Taliban statement to The Associated Press in June 2013 “contained more specifics about a prospective exchange than what was conveyed through official channels to the committee and others in Congress at the time,” the report said.

When news reports surfaced hinting at a swap, the report said administration officials told lawmakers that the U.S. was not engaged in direct negotiations with the Taliban, which was only true because the Qataris were acting as intermediaries.

Moreover, the committee Republicans said they do “not have confidence” that the Defense Department has clearly established who is responsible for making sure that Qatar abides by a memorandum of understanding it signed with the U.S. outlining how it would monitor the activities of the five after their release.

“Some of the Taliban Five have engaged in threatening activities since being transferred to Qatar,” the report said.

Oh, yeah! World’s largest destroyer sets sail

it’s more massive and technologically advanced than anything the world has ever seen.

Meet the new Zumwalt class destroyer. It’s goal is to extend America’s unchallenged naval dominance around the globe. And it has enough firepower to send a clear message to the enemies of freedom: Watch out.

The first Zumwalt-class destroyer, the largest ever built for the U.S. Navy, heads down the Kennebec River after leaving Bath Iron Works, Monday, Dec. 7, 2015, in Bath, Maine. The ship is headed out to sea for the first time to undergo sea trials.(AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty)

The largest destroyer ever built for the U.S. Navy headed out to sea for the first time Monday, departing from shipbuilder Bath Iron Works and carefully navigating the winding Kennebec River before reaching the open ocean where the ship will undergo sea trials.

More than 200 shipbuilders, sailors and residents gathered to watch as the futuristic 600-foot, 15,000-ton USS Zumwalt glided past Fort Popham, accompanied by tugboats.

Kelley Campana, a Bath Iron Works employee, said she had goose bumps and tears in her eyes.

“This is pretty exciting. It’s a great day to be a shipbuilder and to be an American,” she said. “It’s the first in its class. There’s never been anything like it. It looks like the future.”

Larry Harris, a retired Raytheon employee who worked on the ship, watched it depart from Bath.

“It’s as cool as can be. It’s nice to see it underway,” he said. “Hopefully, it will perform as advertised.”

Bath Iron Works will be testing the ship’s performance and making tweaks this winter. The goal is to deliver it to the Navy sometime next year.

“We are absolutely fired up to see Zumwalt get underway. For the crew and all those involved in designing, building, and readying this fantastic ship, this is a huge milestone,” the ship’s skipper, Navy Capt. James Kirk, said before the ship departed.

The ship has electric propulsion, new radar and sonar, powerful missiles and guns, and a stealthy design to reduce its radar signature. Analysts say the ship is so stealthy, it appears on radar no bigger than a small fishing boat.

Advanced automation will allow the warship to operate with a much smaller crew size than current destroyers. It is equipped with both anti-naval and anti-aircraft capabilities, but it’s primary mission is to reach out and destroy enemy ground forces.

All of that innovation has led to construction delays and a growing price tag. The Zumwalt, the first of three ships in the class, will cost at least $4.4 billion.

The ship looks like nothing ever built at Bath Iron Works.

The inverse bow juts forward to slice through the waves. Sharp angles deflect enemy radar signals. Radar and antennas are hidden in a composite deckhouse.

The builder sea trials will answer any questions of seaworthiness for a ship that utilizes a type of hull associated with pre-dreadnought battleships from a century ago.

House votes to lock down American borders
DECEMBER 9, 2015

https://thehornnews.com/house-votes-to-lock-down-american-borders/

he House of Representatives – led by Republicans – voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to tighten controls on travel to the U.S. by requiring special visas for anyone who’s been in Iraq or Syria in the previous five years.

But it remains to be seen whether President Barack Obama’s Democratic allies could kill the bill in the Senate.

The bill takes aim at the “visa waiver” program that allows citizens of 38 countries to travel to the U.S. for stays of 90 days and less without first obtaining a visa from an embassy or consulate. Belgium and France, home to most of the perpetrators of last month’s Paris attacks, are among the participating countries.

The bill would institute a series of changes, including the new visa requirement for citizens of Iraq, Syria and any other country deemed a terrorist hotspot, along with anyone who’s traveled to those countries in the previous five years. Exceptions are made for official government visits and military service.

Countries in the visa waiver program would also be required to share counterterror information with the U.S. or face expulsion from the program. All travelers would be checked against Interpol databases, and visa waiver countries would be required to issue “e-passports” with biometric information.

“You have more than 5,000 individuals that have Western passports in this program that have gone to Iraq or Syria in the last five years,” said Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. “Those are gaps that we need to fix.”

Some 20 million visitors come to the U.S. annually under the visa waiver program. And in past years, the program has been used by would-be terrorists, including “shoe bomber” Richard Reid, who boarded a flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001 without a visa and attempted to set off a bomb. Zacarias Moussaoui, the “20th hijacker” from 9/11, also flew from London to Chicago with a French passport and no visa in February 2001, according to a Homeland Security Inspector General report from 2004.

The bill now heads to the Senate and an uncertain future. Previous House bills to shore up border security have met stiff opposition once they reached the Senate floor.

Secret cash “gift” behind San Bernardino shooters
DECEMBER 8, 2015

https://thehornnews.com/secret-cash-gift-behind-san-bernardino-shooters/

Federal investigators are looking into a sudden windfall of $28,500 that appeared in San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook’s bank account just two weeks before he and his wife went on a rampage that killed 14 people in San Bernardino, CA.

According to several media reports, after the money was suddenly deposited into his bank account, Farook quickly took out $10,000 in cash. But investigators aren’t sure what he did with the money.

The news of the secret cash comes after The Horn first began raising questions Friday about the value of Farook’s extensive arsenal, which would have been a stretch for him to afford. According to our December 4th article,

The pair had more than 1,600 bullets on them when they were killed. Police said they also had 12 pipe bombs, tools to make more explosives, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition at home. They were equipped with body armor, tactical gear, two AR-15s, two handguns, and more.

Farook made a little less than $53,000 a year as a county health inspector, and was supporting a family of three in one of the most expensive areas of the country. Now some experts are asking how he afforded such an expensive weapons cache and a recent trip to Saudi Arabia.

The money, which was routed through WebBank.com, would indicate – at the very least – a high level of preparation weeks before the attack.

The reported cash windfall came two weeks before Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, unleashed their massacre in San Bernardino.

Malik first entered the U.S. last year from Pakistan, and gained entrance after telling authorities she was coming to marry Farook. She was able to clear all government background checks.

Malik studied pharmacy at the Bahauddin Zakariya University in the central city of Multan, where she got a degree in 2013.

She also took classes at the Multan branch of Al-Huda International Seminary, a women-only madrassa, an Islamic religious school with branches across Pakistan and in the U.S. and Canada.

The region where the school is located is home to thousands of extremist seminaries, with hundreds linked to al-Qaida and the Pakistani Taliban.

Couple seeks right to marry. The hitch? They're legally father and son

Kim Davis and the fight over same-sex marriage 01:12

(CNN)The legalization of same-sex marriage has given way to a new problem for a Pennsylvania couple, who technically are father and son.

Before states across the country began striking down bans on same-sex marriage and the Supreme Court ultimately decided the issue nationwide, some gay couples used adoption laws as a way to gain legal recognition as a family, and the related benefits such as inheritance and hospital visitation rights.

Nino Esposito, a retired teacher, adopted his partner Roland "Drew" Bosee, a former freelance and technical writer, in 2012, after more than 40 years of being a couple.

Now, they're trying to undo the adoption to get married and a state trial court judge has rejected their request, saying his ability to annul adoptions is generally limited to instances of fraud.

400,000 Minnesota Teamsters And Retirees Facing Big Pension Cuts

Wow those democrats really help ya out and care about ya....

More Sharing ServicesShare on facebookShare on twitterShare on email92

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO) — After a relaxing trip to Spain, Terry and Carol Toyen arrived home to news they’d rather not know in a letter from Terry’s pension plan.

“I didn’t think it was going to be that big of a cut,” Terry said.

After 32 years as a Teamsters truck driver, Toyen was counting on a nice pension.

“The numbers are there and facts are there, but the reality is that it’s just another pension fund that didn’t look as good when it comes down to retiring,” he said.

Even Toyen’s husband Carol was bracing for the cuts, but not quite this big.

“Other people thought it was only going to be maybe 20, 25 percent hit,” she said. “Now it’s almost half.”

It’s all because the Central States Pension Fund — covering 400,000 present and retired teamsters — is in deep trouble. Taking in only $1 inemployer contributions for every $3.46 paid out.

Andrew Rolnick is a senior partner and financial planner at North Star Resource Group. He says the news will force folks to reassess not what they want, but what they need.

“If you were expecting to retire this year or next year and you got the bad news, we need to reset our expectations,” he said. “What is it that we can do? Is it working longer, doing part time work? Is it possibly moving and downsizing? They’re difficult situations, but that’s where I would start.”

For Terry and Carol, they’ll likely tap into Social Security earlier than they’d planned, and tighten up the budgetary belt a few more notches.

“It might not be possible to do another big vacation again,” Toyen said.

Rolnick said it’s going to hit members much differently depending on age. While the fund’s rescue plan cuts benefits much deeper for younger Teamsters, they also have more time to come up with alternatives to funding retirement.

If the rescue plan is approved next spring the pension reductions will take effect in July 2016.

The global meat industry is up in arms about the prospect of its products being declared carcinogenic by the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization.The International Agency for Research on Cancer is due to issue a report on Monday that is expected to rule that processed meat such as bacon and sausages is a carcinogen, while red meat is probably carcinogenic."Red and processed meat are among 940 substances reviewed by IARC found to pose some level of theoretical 'hazard'," said Barry Carpenter, President of the North American Meat Institute.

re;
Wake Up America: Democrats at War with the People

By Lloyd Marcus

Please forgive me for sounding like a doting dad, but I was blessed to watch my adult daughter play in the softball world series. I beamed with pride as the outfielders backed up when she came to bat.

However, what I am about to report will further entrench me as a traitor in the minds of other blacks in my family.

My wife Mary alerted me to the latest horrific incidents of the Knockout Game that were ignored by the mainstream media. In New Jersey, a black thug knocked out an unsuspecting, defenseless white woman. In Baltimore, 50 black teens almost beat a 61-year-old white man to death.

My former employer WJZ-TV Baltimore refused to mention in their coverage that the attackers were black. And yet, race is the first thing out of reporters' mouths in those rare incidences in which whites assault blacks. Stats show that blacks assault whites far more than vice versa.

I am the first to say all people are solely responsible for their behavior. However, I see these black assaults on whites as the fist of the Democratic Party punching out innocent whites – the hand of the Democratic Party pulling the trigger assassinating police officers across America.

Democrats with MSM assistance have successfully convinced many black youths to believe that white America is a collection of racist murderers and responsible for all of black America's woes. This Democrat-media insidious lie has caused black youths to feel morally justified in punishing their white nemesis.

Few people realize that the Democratic Party is at war with America. Yes, I am unequivocally saying everything the Democratic Party does is an attack on traditional morals and values. The party leadership is repulsed by our God-given freedom and rights written in the Constitution.

Due to his radical education and perverted view of morality, President Obama believes that the world has too little because America has too much. He is using his presidency to dethrone America as the world power.

From the Oval Office to numerous corrupted liberalism-infected government agencies, Democrats arrogantly bully and govern with an iron fist against the will of a majority of Americans. In essence, the Obama regime gives the American people the finger daily.

From their perch of superiority, Democrats and liberal celebrity elitists believe that only they should be permitted to bear arms, rather than us hayseed commoners. T

These elitists live in massive mansions, drive gas-guzzlers, and use colossal amounts of fuel flying their private planes. Meanwhile, they lobby to force us peons to drive tiny tin cans, use public transportation, and “lower our carbon footprint” to “save the planet.”

Here are just a few examples of the Dems’ hidden war against Americans.

The nationwide epidemic of blacks attacking innocent whites is due to a clarion call to attack by Democrat-inspired and supported Black Lives Matter. What is so frustrating and crazy is that the BLM movement was founded on the lie that white cops and white civilians routinely murder blacks.

Furthering this hate-generating lie, legitimizing and empowering the vile hate group, the Democratic National Committee has given BLM its blessing to host a presidential town hall – to discuss “racial justice.” Give me a break. Why not invite the KKK as well?

Then there is Kate's Law, which was voted down in the Senate by 44 Democrats. Thirty-two-year-old Kate Steinle, while enjoying a leisurely stroll with her dad on a San Francisco pier, was shot by an illegal who was convicted and deported numerous times.

And yet, he kept coming back to the U.S.

Kate's Law is a mandatory five years in jail for felony illegals who keep coming back. To protect our families, a majority of Americans want Kate's Law.

Democrats said, Screw you, America. We want to continue rolling out the welcome mat to illegals because we are working on giving them the right to vote. With all the government handouts we offer, we are pretty confident the illegals will become loyal Democrat voters. So screw Kate, her family, and you, America!

Another reason why Obama and the Democrats ignore federal law, encouraging the invasion of illegals, is because they believe that America has been too white for too long. I have to endure a rant from my wife every time she has to “press one for English.”

Despite national protest rallies and massive intense opposition from the American people, President Obama officially signed his insane Iran nuke deal, giving the world's largest sponsors of terrorism $150 billion.

Iranians boldly chant, “Death to America.” Obama lied, claiming there are ballistic missile restrictionsin his Iran nuke deal. There are not. And where will those missiles be pointed? The answer is America. Ponder that, folks.

By the way, a majority of American voters still oppose Obamacare. Obamacare is another example of the Democrats saying, Screw you –we're taking over your health care, deciding who lives or dies, whether you like it or not.

Average American Joe knows very little regarding what happened at our U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. In a nutshell, Ambassador Stevens beggedSecretary of State Hillary Clinton for more security, saying they were sitting ducks for al-Qaeda terrorists. Stevens's request was denied.

Nothing, including Stevens's and his staff's lives, would be allowed to contradict the Obama administration's lie that al-Qaeda was no longer a threat. Ambassador Stevens and other Americans were killed in a terrorist attack on our consulate. Stevens's body was abused and dragged through the street.

To protect the administration's terrorism-is-not-a-problem lie, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, and Obama appeared on numerous TV shows insisting that the attack was a spontaneous protest sparked by an anti-Muslim video. Emails revealed that Hillary knew that the attack had nothing to do with a video and that it was a planned al-Qaeda terrorist attack.

Displaying the self-serving callousness of a sociopath, Hillary looked Pat Smith, mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, in the eye and promised to punish the producer of the video that caused the death of her son.

It is extremely chilling that a major political party places its liberal agenda above the lives and best interest of Americans. This is how their party rolls, folks: Democrats versus the People.

In softball, my daughter is a natural. She hit a blast into the stadium lights, exploding them. Okay, I am exaggerating a bit. She did hit a ground-ball single that drove in the winning run. That's my girl
