That's a few times I've seen this link now.

I don't give a fuck what any authority says.


Take this forced meme and chock on it.

>America is also the world's largest producer and exporter of corn. American corn shipments to Mexico have catapulted since NAFTA, a free trade deal signed between Mexico, America and Canada.

>American farmers sent $2.4 billion of corn to Mexico in 2015, the most recent year of available data. In 1995, the year after NAFTA became law, corn exports to Mexico were a mere $391 million.

>Experts say such a bill would be very costly to U.S. farmers.
"If we do indeed see a trade war where Mexico starts buying from Brazil...we're going to see it affect the corn market and ripple out to the rest of the ag economy," says Darin Newsom, senior analyst at DTN, an agricultural management firm.

>Rios Piter's bill is another sign of Mexico's willingness to respond to Trump's threats. Trump wants to make Mexico pay for a wall on the border, and he's threatened taxes on Mexican imports ranging from 20% to 35%.

>Trump also wants to renegotiate NAFTA. He blames it for a flood of manufacturing jobs to Mexico. A nonpartisan congressional research report found that not to be true.

>Still, Trump says he wants a better trade deal for the American worker -- though he hasn't said what a better deal looks like.

>All sides signaled two weeks ago that negotiations would begin in May after a 90-day consultation period.
But Trump says if negotiations don't bear the deal he wants, he threatens to withdraw from NAFTA.

>Such tough talk isn't received well by Mexican leaders like Rios Piter. He's not alone. Mexico's economy minister, Ildefonso Guajardo, said in January Mexico would respond "immediately" to any tariffs from Trump.

>"It's very clear that we have to be prepared to immediately be able to neutralize the impact of a measure of that nature," Guajardo said Jan. 13 on a Mexican news show.

>>American farmers sent $2.4 billion of corn to Mexico in 2015
That's it? Hilarious considering they get 5x in subsidies from the US government for ethanol and making sugary junk food.

Mexico doesn't know who they're dealing with.

In America, we pay farmers NOT to grow.

Just pay for the wall before this gets ugly.

People buy chromebooks because theyre cheap, not because they prefer the OS over windows.

I'm sure google would love to make a laptop OS that competed directly with MS and apple, good fucking luck google.

how hard is it to strip chrome OS off a chromebook? i could use a cheap linux shitbox laptop as a media center/storage sort of deal

>Here's how NPR's Nina Totenberg described the case's genesis, in a report after Buck's execution had temporarily been put on hold in 2011:

>> "In 1995, Buck, who is African-American, was convicted of killing two people and shooting a third. During the sentencing phase of his trial, psychologist Walter Quijano was called by the defense. Although Quijano testified that Buck would not pose a continuing threat to society if incarcerated, he also testified that blacks and Hispanics are statistically more likely than whites to commit future crimes.

>> "When the prosecutor cross-examined Quijano, the psychologist testified that being black 'increases the future dangerousness for various complicated reasons.' Buck was ultimately sentenced to death by lethal injection."

>The question of predicting Buck's behavior was crucial to his sentence: The Supreme Court's summary of the case states that under Texas law, "the jury was permitted to impose a death sentence only if it found unanimously and beyond a reasonable doubt that Buck was likely to commit acts of violence in the future."

>Today, Roberts wrote, "Dr. Quijano's testimony appealed to a powerful racial stereotype—that of black men as 'violence prone.' "

>When the case was argued last October, as Nina reported, "Justice Samuel Alito called the introduction of race as a predictor of violence 'indefensible,' but he was also the only justice who voiced skepticism about granting what's called a certificate of appealability for Buck."

>In pursuing an appeal of his death sentence, Buck has argued that he didn't receive effective legal representation; he also says his case includes extraordinary circumstances that would merit an appeal.
...

>From the majority opinion:

>> "Despite knowing Dr. Quijano's view that Buck's race was competent evidence of an increased probability of future violence, defense counsel called Dr. Quijano to the stand and asked him to discuss the 'statistical factors' he had 'looked at in regard to this case.'

>> "Dr. Quijano responded that certain factors were 'know[n] to predict future dangerousness' and, consistent with his report, identified race as one of them. 'It's a sad commentary,' he testified, 'that minorities, Hispanics and black people, are over represented in the Criminal Justice System.' "

>The jury deliberated for two days before returning a death sentence for Buck. During that time, they asked to see "psychology reports" that had been entered into evidence.

>Back in 1999, Buck's conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal. But as Roberts wrote, "His case then entered a labyrinth of state and federal collateral review, where it has wandered for the better part of two decades."

>Quijano gave similar testimony in other cases in Texas — and in 2000, then-Attorney General John Cornyn issued a statement about "problems associated with the testimony" of the psychologist. That was the year the Supreme Court vacated a judgment against Victor Hugo Saldano, whose capital murder trial included testimony from Quijano that Saldano's Hispanic heritage increased the likelihood that he posed a danger.

>After the court's ruling, Cornyn stated, "It is inappropriate to allow race to be considered as a factor in our criminal justice system."

>But as the high court noted Wednesday, despite Buck's case being among those Cornyn's office identified as similar to Saldano's, it was not among those in which prosecutors admitted error and allowed new sentencing hearings.
...

>Thomas wrote that the lower courts got Buck's case right — and he opened his dissenting opinion with an attack on his colleagues' analysis: "Having settled on a desired outcome, the Court bulldozes procedural obstacles and misapplies settled law to justify it."

>Part of the problem, in Thomas' view, is that the high court didn't find the lower courts had used the wrong standards to determine their rulings — it's that the majority "simply disagrees with the courts below" in how those standards were applied.

>Thomas also defended the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying that his colleagues' criticisms of the appeals court — which the American Bar Association has dubbed "the nation's most divisive, controversial and conservative" — were wrong, misplaced, and misguided.

>"The majority also has things just backwards," Thomas writes.

>The justice also argued that the jury in the Buck case had sufficient reason to recommend a death sentence aside from the psychologist's consideration of race, saying that the evidence "of both the heinousness of petitioner's crime and his complete lack of remorse was overwhelming."

>Thomas recounted the crimes Buck is convicted of, saying that despite the defense team's assertion that the murder of Buck's former girlfriend and another man was a crime of passion, the shootings were "premeditated and cruel."

>Thomas noted that Buck had driven 28 miles to carry out his shooting rampage; that he had also shot his stepsister; that he killed his ex-girlfriend as her children looked on; and that he laughed and joked about the killings afterward.

>Citing the unique legal circumstances of this case, Thomas also wrote that the court's ruling would likely have only limited legal impact:

There was another thread on this subject earlier as well.

>In at least two incidents, the report states, chlorine bombs were dropped by Syrian aircraft in an effort to evacuate residential areas, causing civilian casualties.

>The report from the Commission, which falls under the auspices of the U.N.’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, also concluded that Syrian government aircraft deliberately bombed a humanitarian aid convoy of the U.N. and Syrian Red Crescent at Orum al-Kubra, in western Aleppo, in September.

>The evidence, Pinheiro said, was irrefutable: “We have established very clearly in the report that the Syrian air force is responsible for these attacks.” He said there was no evidence linking Russia specifically to the attacks on the aid convoy.

>The aerial campaign in Aleppo detailed in the report amounts to war crimes committed, according to its authors.

>The report also pointed to war crimes by opposition groups, which shelled government-controlled western Aleppo, killing and injuring dozens and using civilians as human shields. Both sides, the report said, carried out indiscriminate attacks in densely populated civilian areas.

>Earlier in the week, when the Resolution on Syria was blocked, U.S. Ambassador Haley told the Council that, “investigators spent a year collecting mountains of evidence, speaking to witnesses, and verifying testimony. The conclusion was and remains irrefutably clear: The Assad regime used chemical weapons three times from 2014 to 2015, and ISIS used chemical weapons once.”

>“We will roll up our sleeves and work relentlessly to bridge this inconceivable gap in the Security Council,” France’s Ambassador Francois Delattre told reporters. “We owe it to the victims of these barbaric acts.”

>“What we have seen here in Syria, I never saw that in Rwanda, or in former Yugoslavia, in the Balkans,” added commission member Carla del Ponte.

>After the commission’s report was released on Wednesday, Britain’s Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said it, “shows the depravity of the Assad regime.”

>The report comes as peace talks continue between the Syrian government and the opposition; negotiators in Geneva this week hope to forge an agreement on an agenda brokered by U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura, to include discussion of elections, the constitution, governance -- and fighting terrorism -- in Syria.

>The report also comes as Russian aircraft mistakenly bombed Syrian fighters who were being trained by the United States, according to reports, as both the U.S. and Russia turn their attention to fighting ISIS.

>An image posted to Twitter by user HadiAlabdallah shows a Syrian boy allegedly injured in a Russian airstrike that hit a school in the town of Ain Jara, west of Aleppo, Jan. 11, 2016.
>The image could not be independently verified.
Go CBS.

Anyway, this was the last thing I saw on the UN report, not sure what to think about it.
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201703011051172718-syria-un-veto-expert-analysis/
>"For example," Shoebridge noted, "there are three standards of proof listed in the report, one of which is 'overwhelming evidence' to support the conclusion, the [second] 'strong evidence' and the [third] 'sufficient evidence'; beyond that is 'insufficient evidence'. In each of the three cases" (where investigators said there was evidence to say that the Syrian military was responsible for an attack) "it is that very lowest standard of proof that has been reached."
>In other words, the evidence wasn't sufficiently good to declare that Syria had dropped chlorine to a standard that could be considered 'strong', or 'overwhelming'.

I suppose the strike on the convoy is considered more solid though?

>The times have changed in America. Since November, loony, marginal figures have shifted closer to the mainstream, and in the days of alternative facts people with a bizarre worldview suddenly become influential media figures. There is no one this applies to more than Jones.

>Jones offered Donald Trump his determined support during the election campaign -- and now the president of the United States is his most powerful fan, giving him a direct line to the White House. "Your reputation is amazing," Trump raved when he was a guest on Jones' show during the campaign. "What you're doing is epic. It's George Washington level," Jones said, returning the compliment.

>It was already cause for dismay at the time that Trump was aligning himself with Alex Jones, a man who has said a lot of crazy things throughout his life. For example, he believes the government possesses weather weapons it can use to create artificial tornadoes. He's convinced gay marriage is a conspiracy by a global secret society "to encourage the breakdown of the family" and "to get rid of God." He is "95 percent certain" the World Trade Center was not destroyed by an attack on Sept. 11, 2001, but was in fact blown up by the government. The massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, in which 20 children died? A "hoax" created by gun control advocates. There is no subject on which Jones does not have his own version of the truth to offer, one supported by no facts whatsoever.

>Trump himself is prone to lies, fabrications and half-truths, which is why his symbiotic relationship with Jones is so disconcerting. The two men share a passion for breaking down the complex world of politics into simple thoughts. Both men appeal to an audience that could just as well do without Congress in Washington. They love raw emotion and breaking taboos, and they hate the big media companies and TV networks, along with the Republican establishment. "We are two saints of the same zeitgeist," says Jones.

>the biggest conspiracy theorist in the United States
...he has a Jewish boss

>With Trump now having declared war on the mainstream media, Jones views himself as the journalistic avant-garde. Some in Washington fear his dark way of thinking will affect policymaking. When Trump recently fantasized about millions of illegal votes and accused the press of insufficiently reporting on terrorist attacks, it was Alex Jones that many could hear in those words. He was one of the first to spread these theories. The same applies to the scientifically unsupportable claim, in which Trump believes, that vaccines lead to autism.

>Alex Jones, a stocky, coarse-looking man with a round face and a pointed chin, devotes a lot of time to our conversation, using the breaks in his show for small talk, offering me water and talking about his three children. "It's hard to switch off," he says. "I constantly see propaganda everywhere."

>Jones' studio is located in an industrial area on the outskirts of Austin. For security reasons, its exact location remains undisclosed. There are surveillance cameras above the entrance, black blinds cover the windows and guests are required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Everyone in Austin knows Jones. When he goes out in public, people point to him or ask for his autograph. Jones is concerned about his safety and has a bodyguard. You never know, he says.

>A sign on the wall at the entrance to the studio reads: "Freedom or Death." The words "Liberal Tears" are printed on a water cooler in the hallway. Jones' realm is enormous. There are four studios, and the state-of-the-art equipment makes it feel like they are part of a national cable broadcaster. There is a large room in which promotional videos are shot, and there are open-plan offices and recreation areas with a ping-pong table and slot machines. Jones calls his offices the "Central Texan Command Center and Heart of the Resistance."

>a state senator, Josh Green, has introduced a bill to classify homelessness as a medical condition. Green, who is also a physician, said the idea originated in his own work in the emergency room, where he saw many homeless patients arrive for treatment of basic conditions at great expense, but no real long-term benefit. “I’m really just applying a band-aid,” he said of his medical work. “But these problems require intensive long-term support.”

>>116593
It sounds ridiculous, but giving someone who's homeless a free house is a lot cheaper in the long run, medical care is extremely expensive and obviously someone living in a house needs a lot less medical care

>>116593
This is patently ridiculous. One would think medical Doctors could tell the difference between correlation and causation in cases like this. These people don't get sick because they're homeless, they get sick for many of the same reasons they're homeless. And simply giving them a home does not promise some otherwise unknown hygiene, it likely promises the same issues, just now kept in a smaller area. If I could reply with an image and had I the stomach to save it, I'd post the screencap of the guy who simply couldn't into cleanliness. His fridge was covered in blowflies, there was trash literally everywhere, and the sour cream picture nearly made me vomit.

>... a recent internal study by a major Hawaiian insurer found that over half of the state’s $2bn Medicaid allotment was consumed by a tiny fraction of users, many of whom are dealing with homelessness, mental illness and substance addiction.

Well shit, looks like I found your problem. The biggest drivers of homelessness are mental illness and substance addiction, with one often leading to the other. But yes, please give more responsibility with public money to people who cannot manage their lives to begin with. Surely it will not worsen Hawaii's drug and prostitution problems. Surely.

You want a solution? Turn that money to mental health facilities and loosen the rules to allow people to be committed without consent in cases other than when they pose a threat to self or others.

>Shares of the parent company of Sterling Jewelers, which owns Jared the Galleria of Jewelry and Kay Jewelers, plunged nearly 13 percent Tuesday and briefly halted trading, after The Washington Post reported that hundreds of former workers had made claims of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination at the company.

>About 250 former employees allege in sworn statements that women were routinely groped, demeaned and urged to sexually cater to their bosses to remain employed. A separate memorandum, made public in 2013, specifically names the chief executive as a participant in the sexual impropriety.

>The statements are part of a private class-action arbitration case that now involves 69,000 current and former employees. Attorneys for the former employees were granted permission this week to release those declarations publicly.

>Sterling, which is owned by Signet Jewelers, disputed the allegations, saying that “they are not substantiated by the facts and certainly do not reflect our culture.” The American retailing giant, known for advertising slogans such as “Every kiss begins with Kay,” has about 1,500 stores nationwide.

>“We are careful not to rush to judgment,” Rev. Kele Brown, of the Plymouth Congregational Church in Seattle, said. “Historically lynchings were often deemed quickly as suicide without the benefit of thorough inquiry.”

>The medical examiner offered two reasons for its change from its initial verdict: that a K-9 search of the same area had weeks earlier failed to find the teen’s body and that the rope from which he was hanged was tied 50 feet high in the tree.

>Hate crimes against Muslims have increased significantly in the past two years. In 2015, the last year for which data is available, the FBI recorded a 67 percent rise in hate crimes targeting Muslims.

Also, the last two links are just people upset with his policies, not his email. This is likely to go the same way as Pence and Sessions, that is to say nowhere. Bravo that media outlets are scrutinizing government officials again though.

>So far, nothing indicates use of personal email for anything besides saving a backup of documents
Why lie?

Why not answer honestly if what he's done is no big deal?

>>117414
I would have to assume because he didn't actually break the law. So far in what was offered by the OP there is nothing being hidden and aside from cheap storage (Google Drive is a free terabyte hard drive that requires 0 tech knowledge) he didn't actually send or receive emails exclusively from a private account. Pence is under similar scrutiny right now and it is going nowhere because there was a recent case where a government official was doing far, far worse but walked away without so much as a slap on the wrist. One of the biggest revelations of that case was that 3/4 of DC uses private email accounts, they just archive and submit the history to keep everything they do perfectly legal.

They constructed a disorganized system of wooden pipes to take the water from the reservoir to New Yorkers. Using an auger, they cored out yellow pine logs with the bark intact, tapering one end to fit them together, fastened by wrought iron bands.

However, the system was plagued with problems, not surprising considering Burr’s main goal was to pocket funds. The pipes had low pressure, froze in the winter, and were easily damaged by tree roots. Plus, since Burr decided to only source water from Manhattan (even though he was given permission to go outside and get known clean water from the Bronx River), the supply was polluted from years of industrial, animal, and human runoff.

Despite the fact that most other U.S. cities made the shift to cast iron pipes in the 1820s, the Manhattan Company continued to lay wooden pipes and remained the only supplier of drinking water until 1842, at which time the Croton Aqueduct first brought water from upstate to Central Park through cast iron water mains.

In 2006, during a project to replace Department of Environmental Protection water mains and other utilities near the South Street Seaport, two of the 200-year-old wooden pipes were discovered four feet below ground along the stretch of Beekman Street between Water and Pearl Streets. They measured 12 and 14 feet in length with a 2.5-foot circumference and 8-inch center holes. Amazingly, they were completely intact and still connected.

The DEP brought on Chrysalis Archaeology to clean the logs, stabilize the deteriorating wood and prevent it from further decay, and reattach pieces of the original bark. The wooden mains sat in the DEP’s headquarters for several years before they brought to the New-York Historical Society and added to a display near an 1863 Civil War draft wheel and George Washington’s cot.

>The remains of post-medieval farm buildings, yards, and a water management system were also revealed on the site by Network Archaeology Ltd.

>Company director and senior project manager Chris Taylor said: “The evidence we’ve seen so far suggests that small communities were already living in this area around 12,000 years ago and that it has been a favoured spot for human activity ever since.

>“Potentially, the site could yield some very important discoveries. We’ve found signs of a high-status Roman building and, more interestingly, a possible Roman vineyard, which is rare north of the Home Counties.

>“We’ve also found what could be the remains of a 12th century tower, which may have served as a beacon to warn of approaching threats or as a fort around the time of The Battle of Lincoln in 1141.

>“Another surprising discovery has been an as-yet-undated cemetery situated close to Washingborough Road, including at least 18 human burials, possibly belonging to a monastic order.

>“There’s a lot more work to be done before we have the full picture, but what has been unearthed so far suggests it will be well worth the effort.”
...

>Councillor Richard Davies, Executive Member for Highways and Transport a Lincolnshire County Council, said: “When building a new road, it’s not just about just about digging holes and putting in tarmac. Before this can happen, it is very important to undertake work to protect the heritage of the area and look at the archaeology underground before we start building.

>“It’s really important that whenever you’re building a big piece of infrastructure, like the Lincoln Eastern Bypass, that work is done to find out what’s gone on here for thousands of years for future generations to learn from and understand.”

>The excavations between the River Witham and Washingborough Road will be completed in early 2017 and will be followed by investigations at other sites along the route.

>The Lincoln Eastern Bypass project is part-funded by a £50m Central Government capital grant and aims to minimise traffic congestion, support Lincoln’s growth as a principal urban centre, and enhance the inter-city environment.

>The £96 million bypass is expected to be completed by 2018.

>Loyd appeared to be under the impression that the court was responsible for leveling charges against him, but Lauten told him that the state of Florida — represented by the state attorneys office — had brought the charges against him.

>“For the record, Mr. Loyd wants to talk about the UCC and corporate status, which is a position that certain citizens that are sometimes called sovereign citizens take in courts of law, oftentimes misguided,” Lauten said. “But it is not the first time the court has heard that position.”

>Loyd refused to enter a plea, telling the judge: “Y’all can’t do nothing to me.”

>Lauten entered a not-guilty plea on Loyd’s behalf and tried to impress upon him the value of being represented by a lawyer during discovery, jury selection and “the entire trial process.” Though Loyd decided to represent himself, Lauten appointed the public defender’s office as a standby lawyer for Loyd after determining that he was competent to represent himself, according to video footage recorded at the hearing.

>Loyd is due back in court on March 20 for a status hearing.

>His statements in the courtroom this week — as Lauten noted — included some of the hallmarks of typical sovereign citizen speech, such as attempting to distinguish himself from his “corporate status” and trying to write the charges off using a financial statement.

>Loyd’s Facebook page makes no explicit mention of the sovereign belief system, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t immersed in the movement’s ideas, according to Bob Paudert, a 35-year law enforcement veteran who trains police departments around the country on how to identify and avoid violent confrontations with sovereign citizens in their communities.

>Judging the references in his statement, Paudert said, Loyd used the language of “a hardcore sovereign” and speculated that he may have come into contact with the ideology in jail.

>“There’s plenty of sovereigns in jail,” Paudert said. “They’re just like gangs. They’re in prison as well, and once they get there, they try to recruit while they’re incarcerated. It’s not uncommon for people to become radicalized once they’re behind bars.”

>So what did Loyd’s statements mean?

>Paudert said many sovereigns believe the U.S. government sells its citizens’ future earnings to foreign investors when they are born. Adherents often believe the funds are secretly kept by the U.S. Treasury in a secret trust that is only accessible to those who opt out of their “corporate” status, which splits them off from their flesh-and-blood self in the eyes of the government and keeps them subject to U.S. and international law, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The amount of money sovereigns believe they’re owed is based on their lifetime earning potential and can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to tens of millions, depending on the particular strain of sovereign precepts they follow, Paudert said.

>“They believe that if you renounce your citizenship, then you can get into that account and draw out all the money that the government owes you,” he added. “It can all sound very unusual to people who are not familiar with their ideas.”

>Using information from government reports and the trials of tax protesters, the Southern Poverty Law Center estimated in 2011 that the number of people testing out sovereign techniques nationwide was about 300,000, with one-third of those being “hardcore sovereign believers.” Among the movement’s best-known acolytes is Terry Nichols, who helped plan the Oklahoma City bombing, according to the FBI.

>David Fussell, a criminal trial expert based in Orlando, told News 13 that Loyd using sovereign-citizen language in court will have no effect on his conviction or defense.

>“It comes up when someone doesn’t want to pay a particular debt to the government,” he said. “And they will go into court and will say ‘I am a sovereign citizen, and you have no authority over me.’ But in criminal court, what usually ends up is they end up in jail, prison. Because there is no such thing as a sovereign citizen in the court system.”

>Almost two months ago, Loyd was working at a fast-food restaurant and expecting a child with his girlfriend Sade Dixon, whom he is accused of shooting Dec. 13, police said.

>Loyd’s co-workers at Texas Fried Chicken told the Orlando Sentinel in January that they never considered him violent and that there was “nothing negative” to say about him.

>“He was one of those guys you wanted to work with,” a co-worker told the paper. “He was always around to give a hand. We are heartbroken about all the families who lost loved ones.”

>On Jan. 9, police said, Loyd fatally shot Orlando police officer Debra Clayton as she tried to apprehend him outside a Walmart near the Pine Hills area west of Orlando.

>Loyd was captured after a massive manhunt several days later, but not before a second law enforcement death.

>Deputy Norman Lewis, 35, was struck and killed by an SUV while responding to the shooting, and another deputy took fire while trying to stop Loyd’s presumed getaway vehicle.

>Clayton was shot twice in the chest and once in the abdomen, WFTV reported. Her heart stopped in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Paramedics briefly revived her, but a flag-covered gurney was later wheeled out of the hospital as police officers lined up to salute it.

>Lauten said Loyd also faces charges for wearing a bulletproof vest and performing a carjacking as he ran from police.
