Is the Giant Sequoia National Monument Next on the Hit List?
Sequoiadendron giganteum. That's the scientific name for the giant sequoia: the mammoth trees found in California's Sierra Nevada that are the largest organisms on Earth, and among the longest-lived.
Biologists estimate that about half of all sequoias live in Giant Sequoia National Monument, a 328,000-acre preserve in the Southern Sierra Nevada established by President Clinton in 2000.

The Jewish People are “a wise and understanding people.” Nevertheless, each year, Jews from all walks of life gather to commemorate the Rebbe’s passing. Clearly, then, we are not celebrating the past, but rather, something very real, in the present.

| Good morning from Washington, where the Supreme Court hands down a win for religious liberty against government power, and agrees to hear the appeal of a Christian baker who risks his livelihood because he won't make cakes for same-sex marriages. Elizabeth Slattery and Ken McIntyre have the facts, respectively. Victims of Obamacare meet with the vice president, and Fred Lucas shares one moving story. Plus: Ed Haislmaier on the thorny question of "continuous" health coverage, John Malcolm on the high court and the travel ban, and Jarrett Stepman on what boosting the minimum wage really does. |
NEWS
By deciding to hear the appeal of a Colorado baker, the Supreme Court could make its first ruling next year on whether government may coerce some Christians, Jews, and Muslims to use their creative gifts to celebrate same-sex marriage.

COMMENTARY
The court tipped its hand, indicating that it is likely to side with the administration and uphold the traditional deference that it has accorded the other branches of government when it comes to immigration and national security issues.

COMMENTARY
The combination of two Obamacare mandates—requiring insurers to accept all applicants and prohibiting them from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions—created a perverse incentive for people to delay obtaining health insurance coverage until they need medical care, and to drop coverage once they have been treated.

COMMENTARY
In its ruling, the court recognized that churches do not have to give up their religious identity in order to compete with secular organizations for state funds.

RESPECTED FRIENDS,
We all understand that healthcare in the United States is complicated. Why is it that every other industrialized country has a universal healthcare system while the US has yet to find a solution that works for the many? Why is it that we spend far more per capita on healthcare but still leave millions without any coverage?
This past week, the Senate began debating the American Health Care Act (AHCA) with a vote on that bill expected to take place later this week. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 14 million more people would be uninsured in 2018 under the new plan than under current law; and by 2026 the number of uninsured would reach 51 million Americans. While the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has made strides to cover more Americans, it is estimated that 28 million would still not have health insurance in 2026. Either way, we have a long way to go.
Many believe that it is time to explore other options when it comes to how we provide healthcare in the United States. In a joint effort, National Nurses United and The Sanders Institute have published a paper that speaks to the current state of healthcare in the US and explores the option of a Medicare-for-all single payer system.
Thank you for staying engaged,
The Sanders Institute

Davne je 1926. godine G.K. Chesterton napisao da će „sljedeća velika hereza biti napad na moral, posebice na spolni moral“. I bio je u pravu: u … Continue reading Još jedan znak civilizacije u propadanju

Szanowni Państwo,
Bardzo dziękujemy, że tak licznie odpowiedzieli Państwo na nasz apel o wsparcie finansowe. Jesteśmy wdzięczni za każdą złotówkę wpłaconą na naszą działalność. To nam pomoże przez jakiś czas sprawnie funkcjonować.
-----
Spieszymy z najnowszymi informacjami o podejmowanych przez nas obecnie pracach. Po publikacji stanowiska naukowców polskich wobec działalności Jana Grabowskiego, w mediach międzynarodowych pojawiły się kolejne komentarze. Już wcześniej informowaliśmy, że w obronie Jana Grabowskiego stanęli: Centrum Badań nad Zagładą Żydów w Warszawie i Gazeta Wyborcza. Także instytut Yad Vashem wystosował do Uniwersytetu w Ottawie list popierający z podpisami 180 humanistów, a media zachodnie w opisywaniu całej sytuacji posłużyły się depeszą Associated Press zredagowaną przez Vanessę Gerę, współpracującą m.in. z Times of Israel.
W związku z tym, ponieważ kierujemy naszą korespondencję do zagranicznego odbiorcy, uzupełniliśmy stanowisko m.in. o wypowiedzi Jana Grabowskiego. Dołączyliśmy także list napisany przez jednego z naszych profesorów, sygnatariusza oświadczenia naukowców RDI, do Centrum Badań nad Zagładą Żydów. Profesor i inżynier odpowiada na zarzuty i komentuje oświadczenie badaczy Holokaustu z Instytutu Filozofii i Socjologii.
Oba dokumenty publikujemy także w języku angielskim. Podobnie jak poprzednio, wysłaliśmy je do mediów zagranicznych i agencji prasowych oraz do ośrodków akademickich współpracujących z Janem Grabowskim.
Jednocześnie bardzo dziękujemy za słowa wsparcia, które docierają do nas różnymi kanałami w związku z tą interwencją.

How to bust out of modern-day "Debtors Prison," turn your existing debt to dust, and declare your independence in the next year or less with $1,550.00 a day in earnings
Get your personal guide to $100,000.00 income
in the next year here.
Unless you walked into your dealership and paid cash on the barrelhead for the new car of your choice without looking at the sticker price, you are in Debtors Prison.
The same thing is true for your house, your kid's college education, maybe even your last holiday trip. Every single thing in your life is set up by unseen forces to keep you shackled to debt…
Luckily, you are not doomed to keep repeating this mistake. Keep reading and you could breathe the fresh, debt-free air sooner than you think. See how people just like you are already putting thousands in "extra money" away every week with this "one touch" secret.
You do not have to live paycheck to paycheck, and with what you are about to see, you could stop worrying about money ever again.
One man has not only broken out of the debt cycle for good, he's making a mint, with$1,550.00 a day in earnings, andhe is giving you everything you need to do it too.
Break free of modern day debtors prison
Let me demonstrate with a situation we've all been in. You need to purchase a new car, so you do your homework, read Consumer Reports, check miles per gallon, resale value, and finally head to the dealership, ready to "buy your car."
Except as one finance expert points out, you're lucky if you, "own" 1/77 of that car when you drive it off the lot."
Is it any wonder you feel like everything is rigged against you?
The road map to freedom is in this controversial report.
Russ Horn has helped more than 5,000 people get the tools they needed to take total control of their financial destiny.
Where you have…
- More Time
- More Income, and
- More Freedom
And you make cash every day without "traditional" investments like stocks, bonds, futures, or options…
These are real charts and comments from just a few of Russ's Forex Equinox members…
These are just a few of the thousands of comments pouring in from Russ's latest crop of successful traders.
Russ's plan for them, and for you if you have the guts to break out, is to get everything you need to make a six-figure income - exclusively from his innovative wealth-building method - in the next year. [See the plan, here.]
How would your life change if you didn't need to punch a clock, collect a paycheck, or take on another debt in your life?
Because you could turn a small investment into $1,550.00 a day, every day you trade… And that adds up to a lot of cash…
$6,200.00 a week
$310,000.00 a year
How fast could you break out and live free with that kind of consistent income?
That's how Russ Horn has lived for the last 15 years, and that is the freedom he wants you to experience, too.
Go see his stunning wealth solution… And how he plans to get you there too.
