Judge Considers Ordering President Donald Trump to Double 50,000 Refugee Inflow to the United States

A federal District Court judge in Maryland is considering whether he should order President Donald Trump to double the annual inflow of refugees up to 100,000 per year.

Any demand by the judge that the federal government airbus an extra 50,000 migrants — including many adherents of Islam’s sharia legal system — into American neighborhoods would be an unusual intervention into government roles normally left to the elected President and Congress.

If actually implemented, the judge’s plan also would be extremely expensive for Americans, because state and local communities subsidize each new immigrant with roughly $1,600 each per year for decades.

The judge revealed his proposal in a footnote in his March 15 decision where he denounced Trump’s reformist Executive Orders, which sharply curbs the inflow of refugees from war-torn Islamic countries.

Only a handful of Federal Judges have been removed or resigned during (or shortly thereafter) investigation or trial.  Drunkenness and financial misconduct being the most common reason for their downfall.   Unconstitutional attempts to interfere in the clear authority of the President in favor of non-citizens has never been the reason.  It is now.

I thought that the election of Donald J. Trump lessened the possibility of civil war, I may have been wrong.  This goes beyond the pouting over the outcome of the election, this is treason.

Snow storm, stuck at home with nothing to do.

Posted on March 14, 2017 by On the North River

Oh, well!  Let’s post something on the blog…

‘Big Bang Theory’ spinoff ‘Young Sheldon’ ordered CBS

CBS has officially given a series order for “The Big Bang Theory” spinoff “Young Sheldon,” Variety has learned. The half-hour single camera series, currently with an unspecified number of episodes ordered, will premiere in the 2017-2018 season.

Created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, the series follows “The Big Bang Theory’s” Sheldon Cooper at age 9, living with his family in East Texas and going to high school.

Unfortunately, Jon Favreau (far left asshole) is directing.  So I’m gonna pass.

Donald Trump troll doll crowdfunding campaign

Crowdfunding is a fantastic way to gauge public interest for a product, with Internet users validating ideas with their hard-earned cash.

Former Disney sculptor Chuck Williams is a prime example of giving the people what they want, with his Kickstarter campaign aimed at turning President Donald Trump into a Troll doll quadrupling its goal in the first week alone.

“This figure is near and dear to me and thankfully it seems to have brought a smile to all sides of the political spectrum,” he posted in an update, reported NY Daily News.

“The response has taken me a little by surprise!! I am very grateful to have made so many people happy with this sculpture.”

The difference between the Left and the Right is that the Right have a sense of humor.  If they make one of these I’d get one (probably two, I know someone else with a sense of humor).  Unfortunately (I seem to be using that word a lot), this project is currently shut down due to the f’king Disney Corporation suing to stop it.  They apparently smell money and are claiming that all Troll characters belong to them.

Which would be a surprise to those European cultures that have had trolls in their mythology for centuries and from which Disney originally ripped off for their trolls.

If Disney prevails I won’t be getting a ‘Trump Troll’ because …’Disney’…

Pity, I was going to hang it on my rear view mirror.

(posting this now… may update later)

…it’s later.  From Woodpile Report a question?

And why is it a routine winter snowstorm can cross the whole country unremarked until it reaches the east coast, then it becomes a blizzard emergency with a name and ’round-the-clock national breaking news?

Maybe because that’s when it is seen to interfere in the lives of the 1%.

Speaking of whom… (via The Woodpile Report)

Just as the original Civil War was predominantly white on white; so shall this one be as well. African Americans may get collaterally damaged; but this is White on White – in house and in family. An old score, perhaps dating to 1867 is getting settled.

Scary shit.

An old friend…

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and the first major GOP figure to endorse President Donald Trump, is calling out House Speaker Paul Ryan for what she says is “RINO-Care.”

Palin said. “It would be really helpful if every single one of these politicians would do like the NASCAR drivers do—and it’s been said before—but let them wear their sponsors plastered all over their three-piece suits when they show up so we know what side they’re on and who they’re actually doing their bidding for.”

At this time, House GOP leadership officials are refusing to answer which lobbyists specifically were involved in writing the bill and which lobbyists wrote which parts of the legislation. Palin told Breitbart News that it’s a “great question” for leadership officials that they should answer because the public deserves to know.

Sarah Palin in ’24.

…sleet and rain outside.  Maybe five inches of very, very wet snow. Final thoughts.

We didn’t want ObamaCare, we don’t want RyanCare.  We want the ACA repealed, period.  We want the government out of the healthcare insurance business, completely.  If Congress wants to address the issue of people with “Pre-existing Conditions” then deal with that openly and separately.  If Congress wants to help those without health insurance or the means to pay for it, then deal with that openly and separately.  And on anything that Congress does do in relation to healthcare or health insurance; we demand that every member of Congress be as bound by whatever provisions of any law that is passed as any other American Citizen.

First,  I didn’t know my mother had moved to Texas.

Second, when did she become a Democrat?

I look for the answers to this question in the Book of Monty (Python)…

9000 fallen

Posted on March 13, 2017 by On the North River

Guest: Kevin, Subject: Normandy and WWII Remembrance.

A large percentage of our country doesn’t know of or care about Normandy. A few weekends ago, British artist Jamie, accompanied by numerous volunteers, took to the beaches of Normandy with rakes and stencils in hand to etch 9,000 silhouettes representing fallen people into the sand. Titled The Fallen 9000, the piece is meant as a stark visual reminder of those who died during the D-Day beach landings at Arromanches on June 6th, 1944 during WWII. The original team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread nearly 500 additional local residents arrived to help with the temporary installation that lasted only a few hours before being washed away by the tide.

9,000 Fallen Soldiers Etched into the Sand on Normandy Beach to Commemorate Peace Day.

What is surprising is that nothing about this was seen here in the U.S.  Someone from overseas had a friend that sent it with a note of gratitude for what the U.S. started there.  Please share with others who understand “freedom is not free– nor has it ever been”

Encoding a Classic Film, Computer Operating System in DNA

NEW YORK GENOME CENTERYaniv Erlich and colleagues encoded large media files in DNA, copied the DNA multiple times, and still managed to retrieve the files without any errors, they reported in Science today (March 2). Compared with cassette tapes and 8 mm film, DNA is far less likely to become obsolete, and its storage density is roughly 215 petabytes of data per gram of genetic material, the researchers noted.

To test DNA’s media-storage capabilities, Erlich, an assistant professor of computer science at Columbia University in New York City, and Dina Zielinski, a senior associate scientist at the New York Genome Center, encoded six large files—including a French film and a computer operating system (OS), complete with word-processing software—into DNA. They then recovered the data from PCR-generated copies of that DNA. The Scientist spoke with Erlich about the study, and other potential data-storage applications for DNA.

Read the whole thing…

They’re writing onto God’s notebook.

. . . achieved a density of 215 petabytes per one gram of DNA. Your laptop has probably one terabyte. Multiply that by 200,000, and we could fit all that information into one gram of DNA.

Intelligent design?  Very intelligent design!

Quote of the Day

Posted on March 4, 2017 by On the North River

QOTD: “It is not a coincidence that within twenty four hours of Donald Trump giving a well received speech to Congress that the New York Times runs a hit job on Jeff Sessions to distract from it, particularly after admitting the Obama Administration has been behind much of this disruption… The Democrats are grasping at straws to distract from the President’s speech. They have Obama campaign operatives and the New York Times helping them do it.” —
