FARM MATH


A farmer died leaving his 17 horses to his three sons. When his sons opened up the will it read:
My eldest son should get 1/2 (half) of total horses;
My middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third) of the total horses;
My youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the total horses.
As it’s impossible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the three sons started to fight with each other. So, they decided to go to a farmer friend who they considered quite smart, to see if he could work it out for them. The farmer friend read the will patiently, and after giving due thought, he brought one of his own horses over and added it to the 17. That increased the total to 18 horses.
Now, he divided the horses according to their father’s will.
Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 horses.
1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 horses.
1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 horses.
Now add up how many horses they have:
Eldest son 9
Middle son 6
Youngest son 2
TOTAL IS 17
Now this leaves one horse over, so the farmer friend takes his horse back to his farm.
Problem    Solved!

American Veteran Michelle Manhart Picks Up US Flag from Desecration at Georgia University – And Gets Arrested


Re-Posted from Freedom Outpost   April 18, 2015

In a valiant display of patriotism, Michelle Manhart picked up an American flag that was being trampled on by a bunch of young university punks. Keep in mind that this had been going on for three days at Valdosta State University. When Michelle stood up and did what the campus and no one else was willing to do, she resisted turning the flag over to police and stood her ground, guarding the flag until she was overpowered by police and arrested.

Michelle told what happened in her Facebook post, which as of the writing of this article had nearly 27,000 shares:

This first picture is what was going on at Valdosta “State” University for 3 days…The campus refused to do anything about it … So we decided to get the flag and give it the respect it deserved…We just wanted to remove it and dispose of it properly…The American flag represents our Freedom why would you want to walk on that??? Please repost as much as possible make this go viral people need to see the truth…I wonder if “Donors” of VSU are ok with this blatant disrespect of the flag.

Manhart is an Air Force veteran, who said that she did not go with the intent to take the flag, but to confront what was taking place.

“I did not want anything like this, but I got a call from a student who told me that the flag was on the ground, and they were walking on it,” said Manhart. “I was just going over there to pick up the flag off the ground. I don’t know what their cause is, but I went to pick it up because it doesn’t deserve to be on the ground.”

Though she was arrested, neither the group nor the officers are pressing charges.

“If your cause is racism then find some white people and walk on them,” she told The Valdosta Daily Times. “But to walk on the flag is walking on our symbol of freedom. You have the freedom to do what you are doing because of it. I’m not fighting against them. I’m fighting against the way they are going about it.”

She hopes the group will issue her a letter of apology and that she will be able to receive the flag and dispose of it properly.

Though the group protesting could not be determined to be VSU students, Andy Clark, vice president for enrollment, marketing and communications, said they were allowed to protest on campus.

From the statements in the video by the demonstrators, they definitely have had some serious brainwashing when it comes to their freedom here in America. They have the mentality of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, a victim mentality.

The Valdosta Daily Times also provide a statement from the Board of Regents regarding the incident.

“We respect the rights of people to peacefully assemble and voice their opinions. Our primary concern is the safety of our students, faculty and staff and our ability to carry out our responsibilities to all our students on campus. We are monitoring the situation.”

Interestingly enough, according to the US Code regarding desecration of the United States Flag, it reads:

(a)(1) Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

(2) This subsection does not prohibit any conduct consisting of the disposal of a flag when it has become worn or soiled.

(b) As used in this section, the term “flag of the United States” means any flag of the United States, or any part thereof, made of any substance, of any size, in a form that is commonly displayed.

(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed as indicating an intent on the part of Congress to deprive any State, territory, possession, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico of jurisdiction over any offense over which it would have jurisdiction in the absence of this section.

(d)(1) An appeal may be taken directly to the Supreme Court of the United States from any interlocutory or final judgment, decree, or order issued by a United States district court ruling upon the constitutionality of subsection (a).

(2) The Supreme Court shall, if it has not previously ruled on the question, accept jurisdiction over the appeal and advance on the docket and expedite to the greatest extent possible.

(Added Pub. L. 90–381, §1, July 5, 1968, 82 Stat. 291; amended Pub. L. 101–131, §§2, 3, Oct. 28, 1989, 103 Stat. 777.)

Amendments

1989—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 101–131, §2(a), amended subsec. (a) generally. Prior to amendment, subsec. (a) read as follows: “Whoever knowingly casts contempt upon any flag of the United States by publicly mutilating, defacing, defiling, burning, or trampling upon it shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.”

Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 101–131, §2(b), amended subsec. (b) generally. Prior to amendment, subsec. (b) read as follows: “The term ‘flag of the United States’ as used in this section, shall include any flag, standard colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, color, or ensign of the United States of America, or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, standards, colors, or ensign of the United States of America.”

Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 101–131, §3, added subsec. (d).

Short Title of 2000 Amendment

Pub. L. 106–547, §1, Dec. 19, 2000, 114 Stat. 2738, provided that: “This Act [enacting sections 716 and 1036 of this title] may be cited as the ‘Enhanced Federal Security Act of 2000’.”

Short Title of 1989 Amendment

Section 1 of Pub. L. 101–131 provided that: “This Act [amending this section] may be cited as the ‘Flag Protection Act of 1989’.”

Apparently, those that were violating the code here were neither fined nor imprisoned. Yet, the one who stood up and sought to protect it from desecration was arrested. Go figure!

We reached out to Mrs. Manhart for comment. As of the writing of this article, she has not responded.

Sustainability: A Fable For Our Time


This movement has it roots back even further with Thomas Malthus and his Malthusian catastrophe and his ‎Essay on Principle of Population which have been taken up by bill Gates and others as Gates recently presented at a TED conference. Malthus and Gates are wrong Malthus for reasonable reasons and gates because it is a drive for personal power. The sustainability concept itself is unsustainable since it’s principles are at cross purposes and can lead only to global disaster.

Michael D. Shaw's avatarJunkScience.com

We must journey back to March, 1987, and the United Nations document entitled Our Common Future: Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, to discover what is probably the only universally agreed upon—if nebulous and contradictory—definition of “sustainable development,” the precursor of “sustainability,” viz.

Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion of America’s Founding Document – A Book Review


Re-post from NoisyRoom.net Posted on April 18, 2015 by

 By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton


Purchase at Penguin Random House or at Amazon.comFor those of you out there wondering just how our government got so out of control, Mike Lee has written a book that is now one of my favorites: Our Lost Constitution – The Willful Subversion of America’s Founding Document. For Constitutional Conservatives, this book is a must have. I loved reading this book and so did my family.

Mike Lee is a student of our Founding Fathers and our Founding Documents. He is a Constitutional scholar and he has expertly combined history and law in an exceptional analysis of the dangers that challenge our Constitutional system of government today, while pointing out how we have dangerously veered from the Founders’ vision for our Constitutional Republic.

About Mike Lee: Senator MIKE LEE (R-Utah) is a tireless advocate for our founding constitutional principles. A former Supreme Court clerk, he serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Armed Services Committee, and the Joint Economic Committee. He was recently named chairman of the Senate Steering Committee. He lives with his family in Alpine, Utah.

The Overview from Penguin Random House:

The still-unfolding story of America’s Constitution is a history of heroes and villains—the flawed visionaries who inspired and crafted liberty’s safeguards, and the shortsighted opportunists who defied them. Those stories are known by few today.

In Our Lost Constitution, Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-known stories behind six of the Constitution’s most indispensable provisions. He shows their rise. He shows their fall. And he makes vividly clear how nearly every abuse of federal power today is rooted in neglect of this Lost Constitution. For example:

• The Origination Clause says that all bills to raise taxes must originate in the House of Representatives, but contempt for the clause ensured the passage of Obamacare.
• The Fourth Amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures, but the NSA now collects our private data without a warrant.
• The Legislative Powers Clause means that only Congress can pass laws, but unelected agencies now produce ninety-nine out of every one hundred pages of legal rules imposed on the American people.

Lee’s cast of characters includes a former Ku Klux Klansman, who hijacked the Establishment Clause to strangle Catholic schools; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who called the Second Amendment a fraud; and the revered president who began his first of four terms by threatening to shatter the balance of power between Congress and the president, and who began his second term by vowing to do the same to the Supreme Court.

Fortunately, the Constitution has always had its defenders. Senator Lee tells the story of how Andrew Jackson, noted for his courage in duels and politics, stood firm against the unconstitutional expansion of federal powers. He brings to life Ben Franklin’s genius for compromise at a deeply divided constitutional convention. And he tells how in 2008, a couple of unlikely challengers persuaded the Supreme Court to rediscover the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms.

Sections of the Constitution may have been forgotten, but it’s not too late to bring them back—if only we remember why we once demanded them and how we later lost them. Drawing on his experience working in all three branches of government, Senator Lee makes a bold case for resurrecting the Lost Constitution to restore and defend our fundamental liberties.

In his book, Mike Lee doesn’t hold back. He lambastes Congress, the Supreme Court justices and the White House for shredding our Constitution and willfully subverting our laws. This is why Mike Lee is a Tea Party favorite and is admired by millions of Americans who want our Constitutional principles reinstated and the Marxist policies of Obama and the Progressives done away with. It is also no surprise that staunch Conservative patriots such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin love the book. It is also highly praised by Hillsdale College.

Get your children, your family and your friends one of the very best presents they’ll treasure for years to come… get Mike Lee’s Our Lost Constitution – The Willful Subversion of America’s Founding Document. This book gives me great hope we can return to what made this nation great and overcome the Liberal ‘hope and change’ that has twisted, subverted and strangled this nation for far too long. With leaders such as Mike Lee at the helm with Ted Cruz, America can once again become the greatest nation on earth.

A Florida Court Sets Atheist Holy Day! Gotta love this Judge!


 

A FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

In Florida , an atheist created a case against Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, “Case dismissed!”
The lawyer immediately stood and objecting to the ruling saying,  “Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others.  The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays…” 
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, “But you do.  Your client, counselor, is woefully ignorant.” 
The lawyer said,” Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.”
The judge said: “The calendar says April 1st is April Fool’s Day. Psalm 14:1 states, ‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God.’  Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool.  Therefore,
April 1st is his day.

Court is adjourned…”  
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!

Arab TV Commentators Claim Obama Supports Iran Because His Father Was a Shiite


By Michael W. Chapman
Commentators on two different Arabic television programs claimed that President Barack Obama is pushing a nuclear deal with Iran because his father, Barack Obama Sr.,  was a Shiite Muslim, and President Obama apparently wants the Shia-run government of Iran to be victorious in the region.http://www.mrctv.org/embed/134980The commentators made their remarks on the UK channel Al-Hiwar TV on March 25 and on 4Shbab TV in Saudi Arabia on April 10; the segments were recorded and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute TV Monitor Project (MEMRI).

“There is one thing we must not forget,” said Syrian writer Muhydin Lazikani on Hiwar TV.  “I am not peddling some theory, and I am not being racist. But Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite Kenyan father.”

“He spent much of his childhood in Mombasa, south Kenya,” said Lazikani. “I visited this very area, and I can tell you that it is mostly Shiite. All the childhood memories of the man who rules the White House are Shiite memories.”

“This is why the Iranian issue is so important to him and why he is so anxious for Iran to emerge victorious, and for Syria and all the countries of the Arab Gulf to be shattered,” said Lazikani.

President Obama’s father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (1936-1982), was born in Nyang’oma Kogelo, which is in the southwest region of Kenya.  His own father, Hussein Onyango Obama (1895-1979), had converted from Christianity to Islam. Barack Obama Sr. was raised a Muslim but his son, President Obama, said at the February 2009 National Prayer Breakfast, “I had a father who was born a Muslim but became an atheist.”

On 4ShbabTV, April 10, Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi, a London-based Iranian Opposition activist, said,   “Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite father.”

He then said, “There is no doubt that he is Iran’s lifesaver. Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America. He suffers from a peculiar complex. He believes that ‘wherever we go, the Sunnis are fighting us.’”

“So what is the historical solution?” said Al-Baloushi. “Shiite expansion is ready. So he imposed this Shiite expansion on Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan. Any wise enemy of Islam realizes that Shiite expansion is the best method to destroy Islam from within. Even America did not do what the Shiites have done in Iraq. Even the Zionist Jews did not do such things to the Palestinians.”

Al-Baloushi continued, “The Americans believe that they can fight the Sunnis – they call it terrorism. But this is not what they care about. They want to destroy the entire ideology. Shiite expansion is the best method to achieve this, and the Shiites are ready, because they have an ideology to that effect, they have the scholars, they have got it all.”

“So America has used them,” he said. “If I were in America’s place, I would use them too.”

Stanley Ann Dunham married Barack Hussein Obama Sr. on Feb. 2, 1961; their son, Barack Hussein Obama, was born on Aug. 4, 1961.  His parents divorced in 1964. Ann Dunham then married, in 1965, Lolo Soetoro, a Muslim from Indonesia. President Obama’s biological father died in a car accident in Kenya on Nov. 24, 1982. His step-father, Soetoro, died from liver failure in 1987.
