EPA JUST LOVES TO INCREASE THE COST OF FUEL TO THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA AS IT MANDATES THE USE OF ETHANOL A FOOD PRODUCED BLEND TO THE NATURAL EARTH RESOURCE–AS ADDING ETHANOL BLENDS RAISES FOOD PRICES AS WELL AS FUEL COST–THE NEVER ENDING DEMOCRAT PARTY ENVIRONMENTALS AGENDA AS CHAMPIONED BY THE POTUS BHO CHAOS TO ENSLAVE WITH OUT OF CONTROL HIGH ENERGY COST FOR ALL AMERICANS FOR WHAT A THEORY OF GLOBAL WARMING REVEALING THAT THE SUN RAYS REALLY DOES WARM THE EARTH IF NOT ALSO FOR ITS HOT VOLCANIC INNER CORE

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has settled an oil industry lawsuit and agreed to set the ethanol blending mandates for this year and last year by Nov. 30.

The 2014 mandate under the Renewable Fuel Standard will be two years late and this year’s will be one year late. But with an end to the delays finally in sight, the settlement ends a dispute that angered both the oil industry and ethanol producers.

“This schedule is consistent with EPA’s commitment to get the RFS program back on track, while providing certainty to renewable fuels markets and promoting the long-term growth of renewable fuels,” the agency said in a statement.

"Our goal is to provide the market with the certainty it needs to continue to grow renewable fuel volumes," Christopher Grundler, director of the EPA's office of transportation and air quality, told reporters Friday.

The settlement does not require the agency to set the volumes at any particular level. The agreement is still subject to a 30-day public comment period and approval by a federal court.

Friday’s announcement ends lawsuits filed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) over the EPA’s delays, which they said force refiners to guess how much ethanol to blend into their products before the agency decides a retroactive mandate.

The Renewable Fuel Standard requires that fuel refiners mix a certain volume of ethanol into gasoline and biodiesel into diesel each year.

The EPA is legally obligated to set those volume mandates by Nov. 30 each year for the following year.

The agency proposed in 2013 to reduce the ethanol mandate for the first time, to 15.21 billion gallons, while keeping the biodiesel mandate the same as the previous year. After multiple delays, EPA officials said most recently that they would make final the 2014 mandate by the end of spring.

The EPA said it will set next year’s mandate during this year, as it is required to do under the law.

The oil industry groups welcomed the settlement, but said they would rather see the EPA comply with the law. They said they still hope Congress either repeals or significantly reforms it to reduce the amount of ethanol that must be used.

Industry groups complain that the mandate increases their costs significantly, which are passed onto consumers through gasoline and diesel prices.

NEW WEBSITE DOMAIN .SUCKS AS RUN BY CANADIAN COMPANY VOX POPULI CHARGING CELEBRITY AND COMPANIES $2500 REGISTRATION FEE TO OWN THE RIGHTS TO ITS NAME WHILST A TYPICAL REGISTRATION IS $10 TO $25–A TYPICAL SHAKEDOWN IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR NAME IN THE DOMAIN TO BE ABUSED IT SEEMS

The new Internet domain .sucks has stirred up a firestorm over free online speech and the potential for extortion against companies and individuals.

The company operating this new domain claims it is “designed to help consumers find their voices and allow companies to find the value in criticism.”

But critics see it as a shakedown scheme designed to force companies and individuals to fork over cash to keep an unfavorable or offensive website offline.

According to media reports, Microsoft, Facebook, Google and other large companies have bought up the domains by exercising their trademark priority rights, presumably with no intent to use them. Music star Taylor Swift reportedly did the same thing.

What has fueled concerns is that the domain registrar, a Canadian-based company called Vox Populi, is charging $2,500 for the website names—far more than a typical website registration of $10 to $25—before the names are opened to the public on June 1.

The Intellectual Property Constituency, an advisory group to the global Internet domain regulator, complained last month that the “exorbitant sums” are effectively a “shakedown scheme” to get money from companies and others.

After the June 1 deadline, online trolls or “cybersquatters” could buy up the names and then extort even higher prices, according to the group which includes film, software and music industry associations and other trademark organizations.

S KOREA STILL HAS THE MANDATORY DRAFT TO CURTAIL THE COMMUNIST NORTH FROM OVER RUNNING THE CAPITALISTIC DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT OF THE SOUTH - JUST LIKE ISRAEL–WHO MUST KEEP A STRONG MILITARY DO SO TO KEEP ITS SOVEREIGNTY–AS ITS MEN AND WOMEN MUST TRAIN TO PREVENT THE INEVITABLE OF BEING ENSLAVED IF NOT SHOWING STRENGTH FOR PEACE FROM THE COMMUNISTS–AS DRAFT DODGERS IN KOREA TO BE PUT ON NOTICE ONLINE

The identities and personal details of young men caught dodging the draft will be posted on the Internet from January next year.
The Military Manpower Administration on Thursday said their age, address and reasons for dodging the mandatory military service will also be revealed.
An 11-member panel of outside experts and officials will decide which identities will be revealed after giving them a chance to explain themselves.
But men who are unable to complete their mandatory military service due to illness, imprisonment or for other good reasons have nothing to fear.
A total of 5,197 people have avoided the draft over the past five years, including 3,140 conscientious objectors.
The MMA said draft candidates who were granted special status due to their athletic or artistic abilities must complete the mandatory 544 hours of volunteer service during their 34-month service.
The volunteer service includes performing for or teaching children from low-income families and participating in charity campaigns. If they fail to do so, their military service will be extended until the required hours are met.

THE PUTIN PROPAGANDA OF THE 70TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATING THE END OF WW2 GETS A PASS FROM MOST EU LEADERS THIS MAY 9TH 2015 AS IT SENDS ONLY REPRESENTATIVES–AS MOSCOW TO MARCH 15,000 SOLDIERS AND ITS LATEST MILITARY HARDWARE, NEW MIRACLE TANK, AND 140 JETS FOR SHOW

This Monday, Russia President Vladimir Putin visited the cemetery in the village of Marfino, not far from the old western Russian city of Staraya Russa, where he placed a bouquet of red roses. Then he met with veterans of the "Great Patriotic War," the term Russians use to describe their battle against Hitler.

It would be hard to find another part of Russia that is as saturated with the blood of that war than the earth around Staraya Russa. Officially, 850,000 soldiers died there during the two-and-a-half-year German occupation. The real figure is probably higher, because the Red Army long attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to fend off repeated attacks by the enemy along the northwestern front.

The encounter near Marfino was one of the events with which the Russian president is preparing his country for May 9, which marks the anniversary of the end of the war with Hitler's Germany. It is "our country's most important and most honest holiday," Putin said in Staraya Russa. "It is the day of the great victory."

The end of the war will be commemorated in Russia for the 70th time this year. Since it was declared an official holiday in 1965, May 9, with its spontaneous gatherings of veterans in the streets, public festivals and gun salutes in the evening, has in fact become Russia's most moving holiday -- and perhaps the only one that has truly united the people. The victory over Hitler happened three generations ago. Still, during Putin's visit to Staraya Russa, the veterans reminded him of the words of military commander Alexander Suvorov, who said that a war is not over "until the last soldier has been buried." Last year, search teams recovered the remains of 12,900 fallen soldiers from swamps near Novgorod, the forests of Smolensk and the region around St. Petersburg.

Reopening Old Trenches

May 9, 2015 shows that there are also other reasons why the war still hasn't ended for Russia. It demonstrates that the country's leadership needs the memory of that war more than ever, even though only a few soldiers who fought in it are still alive today. Finally, it shows that this anniversary, unlike all previous victory celebrations, has become a European political issue, because old trenches on the Continent have been reopened. There are those in Russia who say that this year the celebrations on May 9 must become a demonstration against the "rehabilitation of fascism in Europe" and a "revision of the outcome of World War II."

The parade in Moscow on the morning of May 9 is intended to set an example. It will be the biggest military parade ever held. Some 15,000 soldiers will march across Red Square, 4,000 more than at the last major anniversary. Two hundred tanks, artillery and missiles will roll past the Kremlin, and 140 fighter jets will crowd the skies over Moscow. Weapons will be displayed that "will astonish the entire world," wrote the tabloid newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, full of anticipation -- including "the 'Armata,' our new miracle tank."

UKRAINE MAKING A MAJOR STATEMENT OF NO MORE COMMUNISM IN THIS COUNTRY AS ITS FUTURE SIGHT AIMS TO BE WITH THE CAPITALISM EU AND NOT THE PAST FAILED SOCIALISM CULTURE OF THE SOVIETS DRIVEN BY LENIN–AS THREE LENIN STATUES BITES THE DUST

Activists toppled three statues of Communist leaders overnight Friday in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, days after parliament passed a controversial bill designed to purge the country of Soviet-era symbols.

A video posted on YouTube by an anti-Russian militant group called "We've had enough" shows the masked men smashing three large monuments glorifying Bolshevik leaders in Ukraine's second largest city.

The men can be seen using a ladder to hook the statues with a cable tied to a white van that pulls away, bringing the statues down. In one instance, police officers look on without attempting to intervene.

Previous attempts to remove Soviet-era symbols have stoked tension in the mostly-Russian speaking city of 1.4 million, located some 200 kilometres from the conflict zone in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, where pro-Russian insurgents are fighting the Kiev government in a conflict that has killed more than 6,000 people.

In February 2014, as protesters tore down dozens of statues of Lenin across Ukraine, scores of Kharkiv citizens formed a protective cordon around a statue of the former Soviet leader. It was eventually pulled down in September, in a move supported by local officials.

SPRING BREAK IN THE US IS UPON THE YOUNG REVELERS FULL OF WILD ALCOHOL DRINKING AND NOW THIS 2015 RAPE–PANAMA CITY FLORIDA ENCOUNTERS ITS WORST FEAR AS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AS 100 PASSERBY WATCH WITHOUT LIFTING A FINGER–AS AN UNCONSCIOUS GIRL GETS ATTACKED BY TWO STUDENTS FROM TROY UNIVERSITY

Police have found video of an unconscious girl being gang raped on a Florida beach in broad daylight during Spring Break.

Hundreds of people are seen watching without attempting to intervene during the alleged attack on Panama City Beach, authorities claim.

The footage was uncovered on a cell phone during an unconnected investigation into a shooting in Troy, Alabama.

Alerting the Bay County Sheriff's Office, the two departments worked together to identify two suspects and the alleged victim.

Troy University students Delone' Martistee, 22, and Ryan Austin Calhoun, 23, have been suspended from college while they are detained for questioning, WSFA reports. 

Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen branded the video the 'most disgusting, sickening thing'.

According to McKeithen, one man is heard in the clip saying, 'she isn't going to know,' before putting his hand inside her bikini bottoms.

He told a press conference: 'This is happening in broad daylight with hundreds of people seeing and hearing what is happening and they are more concerned about spilling their beer than somebody being raped.

THE APPLE SLICER CALLED THE SAMSUNG S6 EDGE GOES ON SALE THIS APRIL 2015–WE SHALL SEE HOW THE SMARTPHONE MARKET TURNS UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE NEW SAMSUNG INFINITY EDGE DISPLAY

The curvy Galaxy S6 Edge grabbed greater attention from customers as Samsung Electronics started selling its new flagship models Friday in 20 countries, including Korea.
Customers were told by dealers to wait for about a week for the Galaxy S6 Edge with both sides of the screen curved, which is the industry's first trial.
The curved screen provides a wider view and unique sense of design.
"I feel like the image is floating in midair when I watch video on this phone. The double-edged screen is unique and I decided to buy the one," said Choi Sung-jin, a 39-year-old office worker.
Choi said he used to use the Galaxy S3 model and subscribed to the S6 Edge.
Samsung, which started shipment of its much-awaited high-end flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, hopes the new smartphones will attract back customers lost to Apple's iPhone 6.
Some iPhone users also made inquires about switching to the new model.

JAPAN’S RAKUTEN AFTER THE PURCHASE OF BUY.COM STILL STRUGGLES IN THE WORLD MARKET EVEN IN THE US WHERE AMAZON RULES WHILST RAKUTEN RULES JAPAN ONLINE RETAIL MARKET–IN A WORLD MARKET RAKUTEN WILL NOT STAND STILL INVESTING $2.6 BILLION IN THE US AND OUTSIDE OF JAPAN IN 2014

In Japan, there's no escaping Rakuten. Since its 1997 founding, the shopping-website operator has become much more than an Amazon.com look-alike-it's expanded into sports, financial services, even family planning.

When Rakuten's pro baseball or soccer teams win a game, the 90 million members of the company's loyalty program, including its 11 million credit card users, get extra points for purchases on its primary online marketplace, Ichiba. They also get points for using a Rakuten Bank debit card, signing up for Rakuten Broadband, booking a salon through Rakuten Beauty, hiring a mechanic through the company's vehicle inspection service, or buying a policy from Rakuten Insurance. Couples can plan their nuptials through Rakuten Wedding, or use the Rakuten smartphone app Beauty°C Navigator to predict the best time to try and conceive a child, based on the would-be mother's body temperature.

Partly as a result of this diversification, one in four online purchases in Japan takes place on Ichiba-impressive even by the standards of Alibaba's Taobao in China. "We invented this marketplace model, and our international competitors basically followed," says Hiroshi Mikitani, Rakuten's founder and chief executive officer.

Outside Japan, however, Rakuten barely rates. It's almost unknown in the U.S. and Europe, where Amazon rules, and Alibaba had already outpaced it in China well before Mikitani's partnership with Baidu, China's Google, collapsed in 2012. Rakuten's limited footprint is a serious problem given Japan's declining population and lackluster economy. So Mikitani, like many Japanese CEOs, is increasing efforts to expand abroad, buying foreign startups and investing in others.

…..Five years later, it seems the GOP has finally found a new Queen: Carly Fiorina. In 1999, Fiorina became a household name—at least in a certain kind of household—when she was named CEO of Hewlett-Packard, making her the first female head of a Fortune 20 company. (She was fired in 2005 after a series of scandalous leaks.) In 2008, Fiorina was one of McCain’s chief economic advisors, and Palin and Fiorina supported one another over the years: Fiorina defended Palin against “sexist attacks” in 2008; later, in 2010, Palin endorsed Fiorina’s campaign for Barbara Boxer’s California Senate seat.

Fiorina has sought to distance herself from Palin and from other Tea Party conservatives of late, though, including during her California Senate run. As 2016 looms, the GOP, too, has begun to shift: In their quest to find more politically viable candidates to put forward, it’s no wonder Fiorina has recently become a household name. (Again, in a certain kind of household.)

HOLLYWOOD IS OUT FOR MONEY FROM YOU THE INTERNET USER AS IT TESTS THE WATER LIKE SHARKS PLYING THE SHALLOW WATERS READY TO TAKE THE BITE OUT OF USERS ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADING ITS MOVIE–EXAMPLE BY LEAVING ACCESS TO ITS MOVIES IT SETS THE TRAP FOR YOU TO DOWNLOAD AND THEN WHAM–THE COURTS WILL GO AFTER YOU THE END USER–FINES AS HIGH AS $9,000 LEVIED BY THE COURTS OF AUSTRALIA FOR DOWNLOADING THE FLIM FLAM DALLAS BUYERS CLUB

IF you’ve downloaded the film Dallas Buyers Club illegally, could you be hit with a $9000 fine?

That’s the average amount rights holders have tried to extract from illegal downloaders internationally, and after yesterday’s Federal Court ruling, there are around 4,700 Australians who could be feeling pretty nervous.

The landmark case between internet service provider iiNet and the rights holders of the award-winning film is tipped to have long lasting implications for the ongoing fight against illegal downloading.

Yesterday’s decision requires iiNet and other ISPs to divulge the identity and personal details of customers whose IP address was found to have shared the film Dallas Buyers Club illegally.

The ruling means that the company will now be given the contact details of the offenders, and will be able to pursue them directly for compensation. It also means more than a few Australian internet users will probably be nervously checking their mailboxes in the next few weeks.

ISPs have 28 days to appeal Federal Court Justice Nye Perram’s decision, but in the event it does go ahead, we’ve asked the experts exactly what to do if you do receive a bill.

Intellectual property expert Anny Slater from Slaters Intellectual Property Lawyers tells news.com.au there’s a few steps to be taken before it reaches that stage, anyway.

“If people have downloaded it, they should be cautious that it’s illegal,” she says. “But at the moment it’s a long way away and there’s a lot of steps that (the rights holders of) Dallas Buyers Club would need to meet before anything happened.”

If the ISPs do not appeal the decision, Dallas Buyers Club would be given the power to write to people whose names and addresses they receive, but that correspondence would be monitored by the court to make sure it is “appropriate” and “doesn’t overstate the case”, Ms Slater says.

“The issue is that they don’t have any proof of download,” she says.

“The most that ever happened overseas was that they wrote a letter to alleged infringers and said we consider that we have a case and these are normally the sorts of damages that we’ve been entitled to, but we will consider not taking that step if you pay this amount to us. And so they just nominated the amount.”

“It’s an exercise in encouraging people not to download or share, because the money that they ask for was just a drop in the ocean — it has averaged about $US7000 ($A9100) in the past.”

While that amount might not be a ‘drop in the ocean’ to most people, it’s important to note that letters sent to infringers overseas were not approved by a court before being sent, which will have to happen in Australia.

SO JAPAN NOW LAYS CLAIM VIA ITS EDUCATIONAL TEXTBOOKS SUPPORTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ABE TO THE DOKDO ISLAND - NOW UNDER S KOREAN JURISDICTION - AS IT SEEMS WITH THE 5TH LARGEST NAVY JAPAN IS NOW EXERTING ITS MUSCLE IN THE ASIA REGION AS IT TOO ALSO NOW IGNORES THE PLEA TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SLAVERY OF WOMEN IN WW2 CALLED COMFORT WOMEN FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION OF MOSTLY KOREANS AND CHINESE TO SERVICE THE RISING SUN ARMY THAT INVADED BOTH COUNTRIES DURING THAT PERIOD IN TIME–AS THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN SHINZO ABE LEADS THE PARADE BACK TO HIROHITO IT SEEMS

Civic groups have criticized Japan for trying to turn the clock back to the colonial period by making territorial claims over Dokdo in a foreign policy report and its history textbooks.
They claim such moves will only worsen the already-troubled ties between the two countries and give the younger generation a wrong understanding of history.
The Japanese government's 2015 Diplomatic Bluebook, released Tuesday, said Dokdo is Japanese territory according to historical fact and international law.
The report came a day after Tokyo ensured all 18 of its middle-school textbooks contain claims that Korea is illegally occupying Dokdo.
The Asia Peace and History Education Network called for the government to act sternly against Japan's provocation.
"This shows that Japan maintains a colonial view that looks down on Korea," the group said in a statement.
It added that Japan is repeating distorted historical claims that Dokdo is its territory; the Japanese army did not force Korean women into wartime sexual slavery; and Japan ruled southern parts of the Korean Peninsula in ancient times.
"Japan's distortion of history has become more rightist and conspicuous. The textbooks reflect the Japanese government's claims," the group said.

SO HERE’S THE DEAL THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO WITH JOHN KERRY TO BE SIGNED WITH THE IRAN MULLAH–IRAN CAN GO MAKE THE MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS JUST LIKE N KOREA–AS NOTHING TO CHANGE IN IRAN BEFORE THE SANCTION AND AFTER THE LIFTING OF SANCTIONS WHICH SENDS THE MESSAGE GO AHEAD BUILD THE D*MNBED NUCLEAR BOMB SEALED AND DELIVERED BY THE POTUS BHO CHAOS WITH THE SAME 1935 GHOST ALLOWING GERMANY TO BUILD ITS 26,000 TON NAVY SHIP AS SO CALLED FOLLOWING THE RULES AND REGULATION WITH A TREATY–AND THE SAME LEFTIST LIBERALS EXPECTS THE SAME MULLAH IRAN TO FOLLOW THE SAME RULES WITH THE NEW DEAL–HOGWASH

We all should be angry right now about the disastrous “general understanding” with Iran about its nuclear ambitions. According to its terms, Iran will not shut down a single facility, will not dismantle a single centrifuge, and will not ship its stockpile of enriched uranium out of the country. Various inspection regimes and “sanctions snap-back” are supposed to punish Iran for cheating on its commitments, but those are empty threats. Worse yet, sanctions will be lifted upon signing, at least according to the Iranians. This means billions will pour into the coffers of the Republican Guard, money that will finance its current expansion throughout the region and support for terrorists.

The simple fact that will result from a formalization of these “key parameters” is that Iran will become a nuclear power and the regional hegemon, with serious consequences for our own and our allies’ security and interests. What is depressing about this failure is that it has happened so many times before, a history that should have aroused some prudence and caution in our leaders. Munich is everybody’s favorite analogy these days, but that disaster was the culmination of nearly two decades of wishful thinking, feckless idealism, and short-term thinking. Central to that dismal failure were arms agreements that in the end did nothing to prevent war, and instead armed the aggressors.

The pending agreement with Iran, for example, recalls England’s foolish naval agreement signed with Germany in 1935. This deal followed 15 years of Germany’s serial violations of the Versailles Treaty’s disarmament clauses. For example, Germany was allowed by the Treaty to build no more than 6 armored ships of 10,000 tons. Yet the British knew that two recently constructed “pocket-battleships,” allowed by the treaty, were in fact 26,000-ton light battle cruisers. Yet despite this “brazen and fraudulent violation of the Peace Treaty,” as Churchill described it, the government decided to negotiate the Anglo-German Naval Agreement. And this took place even as the British were protesting Hitler’s blatant violations of the Treaty’s limitations on Germany’s military development. So too today, Iran’s numerous violations of 6 Security Council resolutions––and its missile and nuclear weaponization programs unmentioned by the framework––are on the brink of being rewarded by a deal favorable to the violator.

SO ONCE AGAIN THE LEFTIST LIBERAL DEMOCRAT GIVES AWAY ANOTHER NUCLEAR OPTION TO A COUNTRY VOWING TO DESTROY THE US JUST LIKE WHAT DEMOCRAT BILL CLINTON HAD GIVEN TO N KOREA THE SAME DEAL GIVEN TO IRAN WHO VOWS THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL IN THE REGION WHICH THE POTUS BHO WHOSE LEFTIST AGENDA PROMOTES WHEN BACKING IRAN AT EVERY STEP–THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG AS THE POTUS BHO GOES IT ALONE WITH IRAN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR WITHOUT ISRAEL

…It is indeed no secret that Obama and Netanyahu don’t agree on how to thwart Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. It is emphatically not the case, however, that Israel’s prime minister opposes “a peaceful resolution to the Iranian issue.” It is emphatically not the case, despite Obama’s insinuation, that Israel’s leader regards military intervention as the only means to thwart Iran.

Netanyahu has not been saying no to diplomacy. His endlessly stated contention is not that war is the only alternative to the deal so delightedly hailed by Obama as “the most effective way to ensure Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.” Rather, in Netanyahu’s insistent opinion, what is needed is simply a different, far more potent deal.

As Netanyahu made plain in anguished, infuriated tones on Wednesday, in the final hours before the Lausanne agreement was struck, what was required was not no deal at all, but rather “a better deal,” one “which would significantly roll back Iran’s nuclear infrastructure” and “link the eventual lifting of the restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program to a change in Iran’s behavior.” A deal to ensure that Iran “stop its aggression in the region, stop its terrorism throughout the world, and stop its threats to annihilate Israel.” That, said Netanyahu, is “the deal that the world powers must insist upon.”

Instead, what the world powers agreed in principle with the world’s most dangerous regime was a deal under which none of Iran’s nuclear facilities will be shuttered, and in which the ostensibly unprecedented international inspections do not meet the critical “anyplace, anytime” requirement — even if, that is, this currently unfinalized framework is actually filled in and completed over the months ahead. “None of those measures include closing any of our facilities; the proud people of Iran would never accept that,” Iran’s super-suave Foreign Minister Mohammad Javid Zarif contentedly reported. “Our facilities will continue. We will continue enriching; we will continue research and development; our heavy water reactor will be modernized, and we will continue the Fordow facility…”

FIRST IT WAS THE LORD OF THE FLIES AND NOW THE SWARM OF THE BEES–AS THE POTUS BHO IN THE WHITE HOUSE DURING EASTER SUNDAY GETS SWARMED WITH BEES WHILST STORY TELLING A PHOTO OP EPISODE TO VISITING CHILDREN READY TO DO THE ANNUAL EGG HUNT

A group of unwelcome bees disrupted US President Barack Obama's storytelling session for children at the launch of the White House Easter egg roll on Monday.

As the president was reading from 'Where the Wild Things Are', bees began buzzing around the children seated on the South Lawn.

Mr Obama told the panicked children, "Bees are good. They won't land on you. They won't sting you. They'll be OK."

The US president used this year's Easter egg roll event to support first lady Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move!' initiative to encourage children to exercise and eat healthily.

The theme of this year's egg roll was 'Gimme Five', with participants encouraged to identify five ways they plan to be more active and live healthier lives.

The Easter egg roll draws tens of thousands of people to the White House South Lawn each year.

SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE LIBERAL HOMOSEXUAL BODILY MOVEMENT WHEN THEY ARE AS EXCLUSIVE AS ISIS IS WITH THEIR MIDDLE EAST CHRISTIANS TO THE POINT BEING BUTCHERED AND KILLED AND EXECUTED ON SITE WHILST IN THE HOME OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE CHRISTIANS ARE PERSECUTED WITHOUT THE SAME BULLETS BUT BEING SEGREGATED BY THE EXCLUSIVITY VIEWS THAT HAS BECOME THE LIBERAL CAUSE

The title to this article might seem extreme in comparing the gay rights movement to killing Christians and burning down their churches.

But the effect is nearly the same minus the bloodshed. Christians are persecuted, their businesses are shut down through intimidation, and renegade judges are levying massive punitive fines when Christians refuse to deny their faith and then demanded to serve a sexual religion they believe is false and immoral.

Today's liberal, pro-homosexual judges are our nation's mullahs. The law, what's left of it, is interpreted by the dictates of the gay narrative. The First Amendment is no longer an operating freedom. It has been usurped by a homosexual version of the Quran written to exclude all competing religions.

Consider some of these examples that can be found at WND:

• Family-owned Memories Pizza in Indiana came into the crosshairs of homosexuals when an owner was interviewed by a local TV station in the aftermath of the adoption of the state’s religious freedom law. Responding to a reporter’s question, the owner said that while her restaurant serves gays, her Christian faith wouldn’t allow her to cater a “gay wedding.” The restaurant immediately became a focal point of outrage toward the law, with threats of death and destruction, causing the owners to shut down their business.
• The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association no longer is used for weddings because a lesbian duo was denied permission to use it, and a state discrimination complaint was filed.
• The owners of a Christian farm in upstate New York recently were fined $10,000 and assessed $1,500 in damages for not allowing a lesbian duo to use their land and home for a wedding.
• The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ordered Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop to use his artistry to celebrate homosexual unions in violation of his Christian beliefs. . . . A state commissioner, Diann Rice, likened Christians to slaver owners and Nazis.
• The Hitching Post wedding chapel in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, was ordered to perform same-sex weddings in violation of their faith.
• In Washington state, florist Barronelle Stutzman has been penalized $1,001 for declining to support a same-sex wedding with her floral talents.
• David and Jason Benham were en route to a new HGTV television show when homosexual activists made an issue of their belief in biblical marriage. The network canceled their real estate show, which was to be called “Flip it Forward.” The Benhams maintain that the RFRA is “a shield to protect companies, like, for instance, a Jewish-owned jewelry. It keeps the state from forcing him to create rings with the Nazi symbol on it. Or a Muslim-owned apparel company. It prevents the state from forcing him to maybe make T-shirts with the cross over the crescent. Or even a gay-owned apparel company from creating T-shirts that say Leviticus 18:22. Homosexuality is a sin.” Very simply, “the state should never force business owners to promote a message or an idea that conflicts with their beliefs.”
• In a New Mexico dispute, courts ordered that a photographer could not refuse to use her talents to memorialize a homosexual wedding.
• Brendan Eich, the chief executive officer of Mozilla, the company best known for creating Firefox, was attacked by homosexual activists and eventually lost his position because he donated $1,000 to support the 2008 Proposition 8 marriage-definition initiative that was approved by the majority of voters of progressive California.
• Vermont’s Wildflower Inn paid a settlement and closed its wedding reception business after the ACLU won a $10,000 civil penalty for two lesbians. The settlement also requires the inn’s owners to place $20,000 in a charitable trust for the lesbians.
• Oregon’s “Sweet Cakes by Melissa” bakery shut down after declining to bake for a “gay wedding.”
• A Christian T-shirt maker in Kentucky was targeted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission for refusing to print “gay pride” designs for a local homosexual group.
• Chris Penner, owner of the Twilight Room Annex bar in Portland, was fined $400,000 under the Oregon Equality Act for excluding transsexual men who, dressed as women, had been alienating other customers by using the women’s restroom. According to the Seattle Times, 11 people – calling themselves the “T-girls” – “will get the money, with awards ranging from $20,000 to 50,000.”

And the list continues to grow.

WORLD’S LARGEST RABBIT MEASURES 1.2 METERS AND 22 KILOGRAMS NAMED DARIUS AND JEFF

"Darius," the world's largest rabbit, is about to be outpaced by his son "Jeff" who, with still six months to grow, is already almost as big as his father.
Annette Edwards from Worcestershire, in the U.K., owns the two continental giants breeds, with Darius 1.2 meters long and weighing 22 kilograms, and Jeff, 1.1 meters, and still beefing up the weight.
Edwards spends more than over eight million won a year feeding the rabbits, including 2,000 carrots and 700 apples. The animals are so huge they live separately in dog kennels in the back garden.

IS HILLARY CLINTON SO DESPARATE IN BECOMING THE DEMOCRAT POTUS IN 2016 EVEN WILLING TO SPEND $1 BILLION DOLLARS ON A PRESIDENTIAL RUN–ONE WONDERS WHY SUCH POWERS MUST BE ACHIEVED JUST SO THE LIBERAL LEFTIST AGENDA CAN CONTINUE ITS REIGN OF CHAOS ON AMERICANS

Gary Hart has serious reservations about a Hillary Clinton candidacy.

The prospect of a billion-dollar Clinton campaign “ought to frighten every American,” he said in an interview with POLITICO, and Democrats would be better served by a competitive primary that forced her to speak in more depth about the issues.

Hart, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate, offered his opinions in a phone interview Wednesday where he also expressed admiration of Elizabeth Warren and gave advice to prospective challenger Martin O’Malley, a former Hart campaign staffer.

“I like Hillary Clinton. I really appreciate what she and her husband have done … but we need new leaders,” said Hart, a former Colorado senator who rose from the bottom of the polls and nearly took down Walter Mondale in the 1984 primaries.

The post-Citizens United campaign finance environment has sullied the presidential process, he said, benefiting establishment politicians who cater to financial backers. He pointed to his own experience, noting that he and his wife mortgaged their home for between $50,000 and $75,000 — an amount that made a significant difference in his first campaign in 1984.

“I’m now told the Clinton campaign intends to raise $1 billion. Now, that ought to frighten every American,” he said.

OF THE 6 BILLION PEOPLES IN THE WORLD 2.17 BILLION ARE CHRISTIANS, 1.6 BILLION ARE MUSLIM, AND THE REST 2.23 BILLION ARE OTHER RELIGION

SOME MILITARY PROGRAMS ARE GOOD AT THE CONCEPT LEVEL BUT WOULD TAKE EXCESSIVE FUNDING TO EVEN MATERIALIZE AND WITH A SMALLER MILITARY BUDGET SPENDING SUCH CONCEPT REQUIRES MULTIPLE STUDIES AND YEARS TO BECOME REALITY–AS THE $10 BILLION PROVING GROUND FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM AFTER 2001 GETS SHELVED FOR PROVEN LEAST COSTLY ALTERNATIVES–AIRBORNE LASER COST $5.3 BILLION TERMINATED IN 2012, KEI COST $1.7 BILLION TERMINATED IN 2009, MKV COST 700 MILLION TERMINATED IN 2009, SBX COST $2.2 BILLION LIMITED OPERATION 2013

The concept: A fleet of Boeing 747s, each modified to fire an infrared chemical laser through a 5-foot-long telescope in its nose. The laser would incinerate enemy missiles shortly after launch, before they could release decoys that might fool U.S. radar.

Major contractors: Boeing Co., Northrop Grumman Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corp.

Early optimism: “We are building forces of good to defeat the force of evil. And in that vein today we are taking a major step to give the American people their first ‘Light Saber.’” — Henry A. Obering III, then-director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, Oct. 27, 2006.

The concept: The fastest U.S. rocket-interceptor, to be fired from land or Navy ships at enemy missiles during their early “boost” phase.

Major contractors: Northrop Grumman Corp. and Raytheon Co.

Early optimism: “That high acceleration with the mobile capability of Kinetic Energy Interceptor is very, very attractive.” — Henry A. Obering III, then-director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, April 7, 2005.

Problems: Extending 40 feet, the KEI would have been longer than anything ever launched from a modern Navy ship. To carry it, Navy vessels would have had to be retrofitted at a cost of billions of dollars. And the interceptor’s range was too limited to allow it to be land-based. It would have had to be positioned so close to its target that it would be vulnerable to attack.

The concept: A “bandolier” of eight to 20 miniature interceptors that would destroy missiles and decoys.

Major contractors: Raytheon Co. and Lockheed Martin.

Early optimism: “The Multiple Kill Vehicle is a transformational program adding volume kill capability to the ballistic missile defense system as early as 2013.” — U.S. Missile Defense Agency news release, July 19, 2006.

Problems: The technical challenge of creating and launching tiny “kill vehicles” that could find and destroy far heavier warheads in space proved insurmountable. Among many other obstacles, existing ground-based rockets would have had to be retrofitted or replaced. The concept never reached the stage where a test flight could be conducted.

The concept: A floating radar powerful enough to detect and track long-range missiles and distinguish enemy warheads from decoys.

Major contractors: Boeing Co. and Raytheon Co.

Early optimism: “It is the most powerful radar of its kind in the world and will provide ... a highly advanced detection and discrimination capability.” — Henry A. Obering III, then-director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, May 10, 2006.

Problems: The radar’s field of vision is so narrow that it could not reliably track a sequence of incoming missiles. Its sensitive instrumentation is prone to corrosion at sea, and it needs millions of dollars in fuel to operate for even short periods.
