Couple rides bike across entire US-Mexico border for immigration reform

For five long and educational months a couple from New York and Minnesota have been on a quest to learn about border realities.

They aren't doing all of this by just watching TV or reading a book.

They're biking and blogging every minute of their exploration

Each part of the border has it's distinct reality, said Eric Wright.

We knew that and we were interested in what was going on in each part of the border.

And we felt an obligation to teach as we go, said Katy Brandes.

After spending significant time working as volunteers at a shelter for migrants in El Paso, Katy and Eric decided to explore the border.

In September, they got on their bikes and started pedaling a little north of San Diego, California, final destination Boca Chica, Texas.

Their trip has taken them all along the US-Mexico border hoping to get a glimpse of a migrants life.

I think people in the north don't really understand what's going on in the southern borders, said Katy. Hearing politicians talk about a wall might sound feasible to people.

But when you come down and you witness it, it seems kind of crazy the division between cities and the fact that it's 2000 miles long.

During their travels, Katy and Eric have visited social justice organizations and border groups.

They've talked to day laborers and have stayed at various shelters for immigrants on both sides of the border.

But what Katy and Eric consider a priority of their more than 2000 mile journey, is to hopefully one day change America's immigration policies.

I mean we would really go radical and want open borders, said Katy. But we know that it has to be done step by step.

So we can just hope that the Dream Act will happen and maybe and amnesty will happen and maybe more Mexican asylum cases will be looked at seriously as people flee the violence.

The couple says our country was built on immigrants and people shouldn't fear them.

The craziest thing about how our immigration system works or rather doesn't work is that it's separating thousands of families, says Eric.

Thousands of children are being left without their parents. Spouses being separated.

Kids who've spent their entire lives living in the United States who were brought over when they were toddlers are being deported.

There's a lot of inconsistency and a lot of things being done by our immigration system that leaves a lot of heartache behind.

As they pedal and take their two fully loaded bikes for the longest spin of their lives, they're looking even further down the road at how this trip could impact others.

END FED: Keiser Report Makes Clear Who Are The Real Financial Terrorists, Beck Misinforms

How To Go To Heaven:

Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in Electronic Run On the Banks February 6, 2009

At 2 minutes, 20 seconds into this C-Span video clip, Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania explains how the Federal Reserve told Congress members about a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars. According to Kanjorski, this electronic transfer occured over the period of an hour or two.

Here is a transcript of what Kanjorski says in the video:

On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two.

Money was being removed electronically.

The treasury tried to help with $150 Billion.

But could not stem the tide.

It was an electronic run on the banks

The treasury intervened but had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawled and collapsed and within 24 hours the world economy.

Kanjorski does not provide further details.


The Giant Banks, Federal Reserve and Treasury Have All Blackmailed America May 22, 2010

As I wrote last October:

Congressmen Brad Sherman and Paul Kanjorski and Senator James Inhofe all say that the government warned of martial law if Tarp wasn't passed. And Rahm Emanuel famously said:

Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before.

Last year:

Senator Leahy said If we learned anything from 9/11, the biggest mistake is to pass anything they ask for just because it's an emergency

The New York Times wrote:

The rescue is being sold as a must-have emergency measure by an administration with a controversial record when it comes to asking Congress for special authority in time of duress.
***

Mr. Paulson has argued that the powers he seeks are necessary to chase away the wolf howling at the door: a potentially swift shredding of the American financial system. That would be catastrophic for everyone, he argues, not only banks, but also ordinary Americans who depend on their finances to buy homes and cars, and to pay for college.

Some are suspicious of Mr. Paulson's characterizations, finding in his warnings and demands for extraordinary powers a parallel with the way the Bush administration gained authority for the war in Iraq. Then, the White House suggested that mushroom clouds could accompany Congress's failure to act. This time, it is financial Armageddon supposedly on the doorstep.

This is scare tactics to try to do something that's in the private but not the public interest, said Allan Meltzer, a former economic adviser to President Reagan, and an expert on monetary policy at the Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business. It's terrible.

Not Just Government

But it's not just government . . .

If the too big to fails say that the world economy will crash and there will be martial law unless they are bailed out, politicians -- most of whom don't understand finance or economics -- will believe them, and sound the alarm themselves.

As Karl Denninger wrote yesterday:

[S]ounds like Bail me out or I will crash everything.

Isn't that analagous to walking into a bank, opening one's coat to reveal an explosives-laced belt, and saying gimme all the money or everyone dies!

I noted in November:

In the 1974 comedy Blazing Saddles, Cleavon Little plays the new sheriff in an old Western town. The sheriff is African-American, and when he rides into town for the first time, the [racist] townspeople pull out their guns and are about to shoot him.

But he quickly puts a gun to his own head, pretends he's scared of his own gun, and says BACK OFF OR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN GUY GETS IT!!! The townspeople are dumb and fall for it, suddenly terrified that he'll kill himself. Here's the scene.

That's what Wall Street is doing with the bailout.

The fat cats on Wall Street are saying give us a lot of money, and buy all of our bad debt for a lot more than its worth, or Wall Street will get it and we'll go into a depression!

Are Americans stupid enough to fall for it?

John Hillerman 1932-2017

John Benedict Hillerman (December 20, 1932 – November 9, 2017) was an American actor best known for his starring role as Jonathan Quayle Higgins III on the television show Magnum, P.I. that aired from 1980–88. For his role as Higgins, Hillerman earned five Golden Globe nominations, winning in 1981, and four Emmy nominations, winning in 1987.
Born in Denison, Texas, He developed an interest in opera at the age of ten, and traveled to Dallas to watch Metropolitan Opera productions. Hillerman attended St. Xavier's Academy, and after graduation, he attended the University of Texas at Austin for three years, majoring in journalism. Hillerman served four years in the United States Air Force from 1953 to 1957, working in maintenance in a B-36 wing of the Strategic Air Command, and achieving the rank of sergeant. He became interested in acting after working with a theatrical group in Fort Worth during his service and After his 1957 discharge, he moved to New York City to study at the American Theatre Wing, and performed in professional theater for the next twelve years, in productions such as King Henry IV, Part II and The Great God Brown. Hillerman was unable to make a living as a stage actor, and he moved to Hollywood in 1969. Hillerman made his motion picture debut in They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) in an uncredited role as a reporter. Director Peter Bogdanovich, with whom Hillerman had previously worked during his stage career, cast Hillerman in his films The Last Picture Show, What's Up, Doc?, and Paper Moon. In 1974, he played a memorable role of Russ Yelburton, the deputy chief of the Los Angeles Water Department in the film classic, Chinatown. Hillerman worked steadily thereafter in film and television in the 1970s, but after being cast in Magnum, P.I., he shot only four additional pictures between 1980 and 1996, with his final performance coming in A Very Brady Sequel. In 1975, Hillerman was a co-star in Ellery Queen as Simon Brimmer, a radio detective who hosted a radio show and tried to outsmart the title character (Jim Hutton). From 1976 to 1980, he had a recurring role as Mr. Conners on the sitcom One Day at a Time, and he co-starred as Betty White's estranged husband on The Betty White Show (1977-1978). He is perhaps best remembered for his role as former British Army Sergeant Major Jonathan Higgins in Magnum, P.I. (1980–88), for which he learned an English accent by listening to a recording of Laurence Olivier reciting Hamlet. He considered Higgins his favorite role. In 1990, Hillerman returned to television to perform for one season as Lloyd Hogan in the sitcom The Hogan Family. After Hillerman retired from acting in 1999, he returned to his home state of Texas.
On November 9, 2017, Hillerman passed away at his Houston home at the age of 84. He had been in declining health near the end of his life.

Animal House (7/10) Movie CLIP - Deltas on Trial (1978) HD

BUY THE MOVIE:
Don't miss the HOTTEST NEW TRAILERS:

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Otter (Tim Matheson) makes a stirring defense of the Deltas' drunken shenanigans.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director John Landis put himself on the map with this low-budget, fabulously successful comedy, which made a then-astounding 62 million dollars and started a slew of careers for its cast in the process. National Lampoon's Animal House is set in 1962 on the campus of Faber College in Faber, PA. The first glimpse we get of the campus is the statue of its founder Emil Faber, on the base of which is inscribed the motto, Knowledge Is Good. Incoming freshmen Larry Pinto Kroger (Tom Hulce) and Kent Flounder Dorfman (Stephen Furst) find themselves rejected by the pretentious Omega fraternity, and instead pledge to Delta House. The Deltas are a motley fraternity of rejects and maladjusted undergraduates (some approaching their late twenties) whose main goal -- seemingly accomplished in part by their mere presence on campus -- is disrupting the staid, peaceful, rigidly orthodox, and totally hypocritical social order of the school, as represented by the Omegas and the college's dean, Vernon Wormer (John Vernon). Dean Wormer decides that this is the year he's going to get the Deltas expelled and their chapter decertified; he places the fraternity on double secret probation and, with help from Omega president Greg Marmalard (James Daughton) and hard-nosed member Doug Neidermeyer (Mark Metcalf), starts looking for any pretext on which to bring the members of the Delta fraternity up on charges. The Deltas, oblivious to the danger they're in, are having a great time, steeped in irreverence, mild debauchery, and occasional drunkenness, led by seniors Otter (Tim Matheson), Hoover (James Widdoes), D-Day (Bruce McGill), Boon (Peter Riegert), and pledge master John Bluto Blutarsky (John Belushi). They're given enough rope to hang themselves, but even then manage to get into comical misadventures on a road trip (where they arrange an assignation with a group of young ladies from Emily Dickinson University). Finally, they are thrown out of school, and, as a result, stripped of their student deferments (and, thus, eligible for the draft). They decide to commit one last, utterly senseless (and screamingly funny) slapstick act of rebellion, making a shambles of the university's annual homecoming parade, and, in the process, getting revenge on the dean, the Omegas, and everyone else who has ever gone against them.

Stories from Pennsylvania: President Obama's Health Care Law Fails to Live Up to Its Guarantees

Ku Klux Klan Visits Madison

Yet another video that YouTube has locked at around 300 views. WTH?

On January 15, 1994, the Ku Klux Klan came to Madison for a meet and greet of sorts.

With the Emancipation Day Celebration May 20th upon us, this video footage represents just how important it is and how far we have come since as late as 1994.

Its been almost 150 years since the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863 during the American Civil War, granting freedom to slaves. With each passing generation it becomes more difficult to imagine a time when a human being was considered property of another that could be bought, sold, and traded. Most of us are appalled and saddened that this occurred in U.S. history.

There are others, though, who would eagerly say to turn back time and bring back the days of slavery. In 1994, Madison was reminded of this harsh reality when the Ku Klux Klan demonstrated downtown. Madison resident Patrick Lightcap was there and captured footage that reminds us that no matter how much has changed since the Civil War, the potential for hate still exists just under the surface and the struggle for equality may never be completely won.

Test Fire of 43 Machine Guns - One Take, No Edits

Washington County Machine Guns brings out every machine gun we have once a year and do a test fire one after another with a single video take. Customers from around the world enjoy our machine gun rental business near Pittsburgh PA from April to November each year. This is an unedited video with a few hiccups with a couple of the machine guns that are heavily used in our classes.

UPDATE: Since this video, we have purchase 10+ more MG's including an M2HB 50BMG, MG42, M249 SAW, M1919, Degtyaryov RPD, Mini Uzi, STEN II, STEN 5, Glock 22, AC556, and an M14.

Like us on Facebook at:

We had a few comments that there were only two or three real machine guns in this video. In the USA, The National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. 5845(b), defines a machine gun to include any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. We use the same definition.

President Trump's Cuvfefe’ Mystery Solved… May 31, 2017 Dianne Marshall

Covfefe’ (pronounced “cuv – fee- fae”) is an Antediluvian term for “In the end we win.” It was commonly used by the sons of Adam to rail against the evil actions of the fallen who had led man astray.
The term gained popularity  prior to the great deluge and was rarely used after the flood subsided. It regained favor around the time Nimrod was building his tower, after which it was entirely lost in translation at Babel.

President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord has thrown the world into a blazing furnace full of weeping and gnashing of teeth—or the political world, at least, has been thrown into a fiery tizzy.

The front page of the New York Daily News reads TRUMP TO WORLD: DROP DEAD, Decides to hell with science, Earth's future.

Former President Barack Obama broke his silence, saying, in part, that with this decision the Trump administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry lambasted Trump's decision as an ignorant, cynical appeal to an anti-science, special-interest faction, as well as saying, This choice will rightly be remembered as one of the most shameful any president has made.

And the list goes on and on and on.

To hear these people talk, apparently, the human race can only progress into the future and create new industries and technologies if we are flogged into it begrudgingly by our 'wise' government and corporate leaders.

Are we really ready to presume what human society will look like several decades from now? Are we seriously expected to believe that government action is the only way to tackle the problem of climate change? If we fail to use the heavy hand of government to brave the future, why should we assume the human race will fail to innovate and adapt to complex challenges on its own?

Imagine, if you will, a world where you cannot turn to governments to solve problems such as climate change.

How would you achieve your righteous ends? Would you simply do nothing if you could not turn to government?

I ask because too often, noble goals serve as a Trojan Horse for political control.

Governments often present us with grand solutions as gifts for our real and perceived problems, but once inside the gates, they proceed to saddle our communities with a slew of regulations, mandates, taxes, diktats, quotas, subsidies, penalties and the like. The cursed gift of government, it seems, is always a central plan that conflates voluntary cooperation, collective action, and even community itself with centralized political control.

But we do not need the trappings of central planning to solve our collective problems. Society can run itself, thank you very much; it needs no single creator or director.

Society already has great gifts for solving complex human issues—individual liberty, initiative, and ingenuity, along with the free and open exchange of goods and ideas—and we need not sacrifice these liberal benefactors of the modern world to dream impossible dreams and fight unbeatable foes. The greatest achievements of the human race have not come from government committees and accords, but from intrepid yet everyday individuals working in concert to tackle the unknown and implacable through innovation and persuasion.

Yet, rather than allowing people to freely choose and coordinate their own plans in our common struggle against nature, too many people first brand other people as the problem. Too many would rather rely on commanding and controlling others to fix humanity's wicked problems than freely solve the problem themselves. Too many conflate the government's failure to act as society signaling we are resigned to do nothing—thus, the weeping and gnashing of teeth over Donald Trump's recent decision.

I find all the hysterics and tears of hubris laughable. This mindset deserves to be mocked for its lack of imagination and obsequious acceptance of corporate cronyism and global governance as the only path to the future; it deserves to be mocked for claiming the singular appearance of doing something (without much effect) is better than actually tackling the problem from many different directions; it deserves to be mocked even on environmental activist grounds as a list of empty promises and half-measures, as a perversion of the cause, just as a free trader may mock NAFTA or an anti-war activist may mock Barack Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize; and it deserves to be mocked for how little it respects the ability of average people to change their station and adapt to the changing world on their own without the pretentious prodding of government leaders.

Spirit box at The Battle of Tippecanoe

On November 7, 1811, The Battle of Tippecanoe
began. It was a conflict between the
confederacy of native warriors led by Tecumseh
, a Shawnee tribe member, and United States
armed forces under the leadership of General
William Henry Harrison. It is estimated that as
many as 50 were killed and about 70–80 were
wounded. Armed with a full spectrum night vision camera (allowing anything in the dark to be seen in the light) and a spirit box we will try to reach out to those who were lost on this spot.

Zionist Freedom Alliance

EXTRACT: The Hebrew and Arab nations are both indigenous to the Middle East, descendents of Abraham and share a great deal in common. Our peoples enjoyed relatively good relations until British imperialists employing their colonial policy of divide and rule incited local Arabs against our liberation movement and encouraged them to violently attack our people;

The Middle East conflict is not between Jews and Arabs or democracy and terrorism but rather between the indigenous natives of our region and foreign powers that exploit, arm and fund Jews and Arabs while pushing us towards war and trying to impose superficial diplomatic initiatives from above. The political and economic elites of imperial powers have an interest in provoking regional conflicts and providing artificial solutions that ultimately further inflame the situation;

Anyone claiming to be concerned about the Human rights of Arabs, needs to deal with the very clear evidence available at these sites, regardless of the real or perceived agendas of those running them:
