Revis, a 27-year-old procurement manager, ran on a platform as a centrist Democrat with particular focus on education, access to health care and support for the labor community, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.State Rep. Peter Merideth, D-St. Louis, told the newspaper that Revis’ win was “enormous” and made possible only due to “a lot of grass-roots support and a hardworking, authentic moderate candidate from his community.”The election result might signal the changing tide for the GOP that is heading into the midterm elections this year against a highly-mobilized Democratic opposition united against the president.
"I know that some of you here question whether Iraq is part of the war on terror.
Let me be very clear: This is a battle between true Islam, for which a person's liberty and rights constitute essential cornerstones, and terrorism, which wraps itself in a fake Islamic cloak; in reality, waging a war on Islam and Muslims and values.
And spreads hatred between humanity, contrary to what come in our Koran, which says, "We have created you of male and female and made you tribes and families that you know each other." Surely (inaudible) of you in the sight of God is the best concept.
The truth is that terrorism has no religion. Our faith says that who kills an innocent, as if they have killed all mankind.
Thousands of lives were tragically lost on September 11th when these impostors of Islam reared their ugly head.
Thousands more continue to die in Iraq today at the hands of the same terrorists who show complete disregard for human life."
Whatever the British leaders say about their health care system, it is failing patients every day, and it will continue to do so as long as the government continues to run it.We understand that the Brits were upset with President Trump's tweet. Nevertheless, their health care system needs massive reform.
Trump is also right that an increasingly radicalized Democratic Party wants to import this disaster into the U.S., under the guise of "Medicare for all."
#MeToo movement lawmaker investigated for sexual misconduct allegations-----California legislator cut national profile as activist against sexual harassment.What goes around comes around or something like that.
But for now, Obamacare trudges on thanks mostly to those generous subsidies and the enrollees who are growing increasingly comfortable with having the taxpayers cover most of the cost of their health insurance.And that's also why Obama Care is failing and premiums going up.
What is a DACA clean bill? It means nothing because no such bill has been written or put on the floor for a vote. A "clean bill" is pure political posturing. Finally, why waste our time on a bill that will not pass the House or Senate?— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) February 8, 2018
The Clintons have been a disaster since going national in 1992........they are like a cancer that contaminates the entire body politic..........here is the latest headline: Russians Routed Big Bucks To Clinton Foundation To Grease Skids For Uranium Monopoly"— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) February 8, 2018
"As Steve Sailer pointed out in The American Conservative, George Bush carried the 19 states with the highest white fertility rates, and 25 of the top 26. John Kerry won the 16 states with the lowest rates.What does this mean? The answer may be in today's article by Arthur C. Brooks (no relation to the aforementioned David Brooks) The fertility gap:
In The New Republic Online, Joel Kotkin and William Frey observe, "Democrats swept the largely childless cities - true blue locales like San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boston and Manhattan have the lowest percentages of children in the nation - but generally had poor showings in those places where families are settling down, notably the Sun Belt cities, exurbs and outer suburbs of older metropolitan areas."
"Simply put, liberals have a big baby problem: They're not having enough of them, they haven't for a long time, and their pool of potential new voters is suffering as a result.
According to the 2004 General Social Survey, if you picked 100 unrelated politically liberal adults at random, you would find that they had, between them, 147 children.
If you picked 100 conservatives, you would find 208 kids.
That's a "fertility gap" of 41%."
"The fertility gap doesn't budge when we correct for factors like age, income, education, sex, race--or even religion.This is exactly right!
Indeed, if a conservative and a liberal are identical in all these ways, the liberal will still be 19 percentage points more likely to be childless than the conservative.
Some believe the gap reflects an authentic cultural difference between left and right in America today."
"A Kern County judge on Monday night ruled in favor of the owner of Tastries Barkery, who the State of California argued in court engaged in unlawful discrimination when she decided not sell a custom wedding cake to a gay couple."A similar case out of Colorado will be decided by the US Supreme Court in June.
