The joys of team 0’s refugee program right here in river city –
“Ameen then allegedly fired his weapon at the victim while the victim was on the ground, killing him,” officials said.
The suspect is accused of being a member of ISIS and al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), as well as carrying out tasks for the groups, “including helping to plant improvised explosive devices,” according to the news release.
Following the alleged incident, Ameen relocated to Sacramento from Iraq “as a purported refugee” and did not mention his alleged ties to the terrorist organizations when seeking refugee status and a green card in the U.S., officials said.

Then, when Obama showed his true colors, Paul wouldn’t vote for him anymore. Paul’s a little reluctant to talk about it now.

Speaking of the Rasmussen Poll this is what they have to say about the widening lead the Democrats have in the generic Congressional poll
” Democrats continue to lead Republicans on the latest Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot, but after two weeks of a tightening race, Democrats have expanded their lead.
The latest telephone and online survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose the Democratic candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Forty-one percent (41%) would opt for the Republican. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
For two weeks in May, the parties were neck and neck on the Generic Ballot, but the Democrats regained their lead in early June and have maintained it since then. In early July, Democrats led by eight, their largest lead since January.
Rasmussen Reports is updating the Generic Congressional Ballot findings weekly on Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. Eastern until the midterm elections in November.

Paul Emery, yes the oceans are water. And when the sun hits it water vapor is created and rises into the sky and becomes clouds. It then moves over and rains. That water flows into rivers and then behind dams. Some dams have generators that make electricity. The water vapor created os also a “greenhouse” gas. And it makes up most of the gases the left finds scary.

Some text from the link
“Ocean temperatures have been rising about 0.12 degrees Celsius per decade on average over the past 50 years. The higher temperatures are driving marine life toward the poles in search of livable habitats, bleaching coral reefs, and causing severe impacts on fisheries and aquacultures. They also contribute to more frequent and intense extreme weather events. In the three back-to-back deadly hurricanes of 2017—Harvey, Irma and Maria—warmer waters played a role in worsening the storms.”

Greenhouse gases are a critical part of our atmosphere without which complex life on earth (animals, plants, …) would not be possible. The amount and composition of greenhouse gases varies as to location. Water vapor is by far the overwhelming (0-4% of total atmosphere) component, with the other trace components (including CO2) totaling less than 0.1% of our atmosphere. There are very few places where there is no water vapor, even polar regions have about 1%, and rain forests up to 4%. If we use the very conservative average of 1% over the globe, then water vapor makes up at least 1/(1+0.1) = 91% of our greenhouse gases. The CO2 content of our atmosphere has varied greatly over the eons, and has been much higher than it is now or even projected to be by the most ardent True Believers. Earth’s climate is a system the dynamics of which we still don’t understand very well. More here –

You got the law wrong Walt
The District of Columbia’s wiretapping law is a “one-party consent” law. DC makes it a crime to record a phone call or conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. See D.C. Code § 23-542.

Legal in DC Walt. Not legal in California. States right Walt. Such a pain in the ass.
A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law. Thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia permit an individual to record a conversation to which they are a party without informing the other party that they are doing so. These laws are referred to as “one-party consent” statutes, and as long as you are a party to the conversation, it is legal for you to record it.
Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Be aware that you will sometimes hear these referred to inaccurately as “two-party consent” laws. If there are more than two people involved in the conversation, all must consent to the taping.
