Random Politics & Religion #00

Should hide your money in Canada. We'll uh... Keep it safe in beer stocks.

Meanwhile, Monaco, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg are under the radar. Probably because few know those places even exist.

Have you even read his budget? Not some interpretation you would find on HuffPost or Snopes (and before you jump on this, yes, I used Snopes on purpose), but his actual budget he issued.

Better yet, can you understand it. Do you have the knowledge it takes to comprehend what is written on that link I posted?

Yep, Larry Dawson, white 67 year old man from Tennessee shouting he is a Prophet of God.

He did not shout that today, you are incorrect.

And unless he converted very recently, totes not a Muslim.

Is there any evidence that this shooting was religiously motivated?

I don't know nausi, is there any evidence to back up your suspicions?

ISIS has far-reaching plans to attack Jewish schools and kindergartens in Turkey according to Sky News, citing security sources.

- It can happen within 24 hours or the next few days, said a source to the TV channel.

2013???

My eyes glazed over before I made it through the boilerplate.

No, I haven't read a national budget, why would you wish that on anyone who isn't an accountant?

I did read several analyses of the budget. Which compared what was cut and where spending was increased. From several sources.

Plane going from Alexandria to Cairo was hijacked and made an emergency landing in Cyprus and is suspected to have a bomb on board.

Unclear who the hijacker(s) is or what he wants

President Barack Obama on Tuesday again bemoaned the political environment surrounding this year's presidential elections and called on journalists to hold candidates and themselves to a higher standard.

Obama spoke at the presentation of the Toner Prize, named for Robin Toner, the first woman to be national political correspondent for The New York Times. During her nearly 25 years there, Toner covered five presidential campaigns. She passed away in 2008.

Obama said the No. 1 question he gets when traveling the world is "What is happening in America?" He said it's because people abroad understand America is the place where you "can't afford completely crazy politics," and they care about the most powerful nation on earth functioning effectively.

"We are all invested in making this system work. We are all responsible for its success, and it's not just for the United States that this matters, it matters for the planet," Obama said.

Obama called on media networks and producers to give reporters room to follow their instincts and dig deeper. He said Toner proved that just because something is substantive, doesn't mean it lacks interest.

"A job well done is about more than just handing someone a microphone. It's to probe and to question and to dig deeper and to demand more," Obama said. "The electorate would be better served if that happened. It would be better served if billions of dollars in free media came with serious accountability, especially when politicians issue unworkable plans or make promises they cannot keep."

Obama says he understands there are pressures "to feed the beast" with more gossipy, softer stories, but that leads to consumers failing to understand the world as well as they should, which has consequences for the country.

Fixed.

Among the many things I have done in my life was collecting maple sap and boiling it down to syrup. I was 12 and 13, the boiling pan was wood fired and a relic of the 19th century. The syrup was dark and smokey and probably had a weeks worth of iron in it. It was yummy.

Obama calls on journalists to hold candidates accountable


Sure, keep candidates accountable. Not him, however. Even when he was a candidate, he wasn't kept accountable by the press, they just let everything pass.

Who cares about reporting truth and fact when you have an agenda to push?

Is he still President? I forgot.
