    There is no way Trump will win, The enemy, in my opinion, just ripped away the election process forever, as easy as abortion rip away a human life from a mothers womb . Their power, position and plot to take over the world has increased, our participation helped them win. Waiting around for a man to save you is just not sound doctrine, and not very smart. The Election process is gone, our so called power as people, including power of our Legislators. We missed the train to stop the tyrannical pirates has failed. We were deceived, hijacked, snared. There...

    House Democrats on the Education and Labor Committee voted to approve a $15 minimum wage proposal as part of the coronavirus relief package, despite warnings from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that it would put 1.4 million Americans out of work. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) celebrated the passage of a proposal to more than double the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour by the year 2025. “It’s a wrap,” she tweeted. “$15 #MinimumWage passes the [Education and Labor] committee after more than 13 hours of debate.” CNBC reports that it is unclear if the minimum wage provision...

    Ever wondered what it would be like to go hog hunting with a Barrett .50-caliber rifle? This guy in Texas actually did. If you thought hog hunting with elephant guns was impressive, check out these guys in Texas (Youtube dbtexhunts1) who decided to bring this up a notch and go hog hunting with a Barrett .50 cal rifle. In a battle between a 100-150 pound hog and a .50 cal bullet with about 14,000 foot pounds of energy, the hog is going down every time. I don’t think debating if this is ethical hunting or not. Ask any ranchers or...

    Do Americans have the right to own a gun? Of course we do. It’s in our Second Amendment: “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The Supreme Court has already overturned several gun control laws within the last decade alone. They determined that the banning of guns were unconstitutional. Yet there are still some people who argue for stricter gun control policies. They insist that gun ownership leads to gun-related crimes and that banning guns can reduce violent crime. However the statistics have proven time and time again that the rate of violent...

    When Hispanic residents of downtown Allentown want to grab a bite, get their hair cut or shop for groceries, they often head to Seventh Street — but they don’t call it that. To them, it’s Calle Siete. A councilman wants to honor the city’s growing Hispanic population by installing decorative Spanish-language street signs on one of its main commercial thoroughfares, where a profusion of Latino-owned restaurants, barbershops and corner stores reflects the rapidly changing demographics of the state’s third-largest city. Hispanics now represent nearly half the population of 120,000. But where Democratic Councilman Julio Guridy and other residents and business...

The report found that nearly half of all California school-age children speak a language other than English at home, as do a third of Texans and Nevadans, according to the report, which is based on Census Bureau numbers.

    Science Daily — An analysis of Milwaukee County pharmacies shows that about half don't provide prescription labels and instructions in languages other than English, and almost two-thirds are unable to communicate to patients who don't speak English. The study, included in the upcoming edition of Pediatrics, is unusual in that its lead author is a Medical College of Wisconsin 4th-year medical student. Michael Bradshaw worked with statistician Sandra Tomany-Korman under the direction of Glenn Flores, M. D., professor of pediatrics. "Language barriers can have major adverse consequences in health care, but little is known about whether pharmacies provide adequate care...

    SAN BERNARDINO - Strife over the importance of bilingual education in a mostly Latino district has undermined civility in school board affairs. It reached a crescendo Tuesday when a county school board member denounced a San Bernardino City Unified school board member's father as a bigot and a racist dog. The insults lobbed by activist Gil Navarro at Tuesday night's San Bernardino school board meeting prompted two board members, Judi Penman and Louise Ayala, to leave in a rage. Disagreements over bilingual education and support for Latino groups have roiled the district for weeks. Ruben Lopez, Ayala's father and target...

    Back in the early 1990s, when Los Angeles was stuck in the pits of a deep recession, somebody facetiously suggested that if Southern California were returned to Mexico _ maybe throw in south Texas and the San Joaquin Valley as well _ it could improve the economies of both countries. But given the current debate about immigration in all its economic and social complexity, that facetious idea left an increasingly compelling question: Where _ and what _ is the border? The obvious answer is that it's the line established by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848, which ended the...
