[Facebook Inc. last week unveiled plans to launch Libra, a payment system it describes as a new “global currency.” It’s based on blockchain, the same technology that powers bitcoin, and is backed by real assets and pegged to stable government securities. Over two dozen corporate partners are on board, including financial companies MasterCard Inc., Visa Inc.,PayPal Holdings Inc. and Coinbase. Partners contribute a membership fee of $10 million each. Facebook’s goal is to line up a total of 100 corporate partners and $1 billion in assets. – 28jun19 WSJ]

    Here’s a typically styled question from Emery…So do you beat your wife? No, I do not. So, when did you stop?
    Good grief, KVMR, is this the best you have as a news department?

    The results have been in for every major city that has run by Democrats for decades. Poop City by the Bay, Detroit, Baltimore,, and the list goes on and on.
    The Democrats have the unique ability to take former beautiful cities and turn them into shitholes. . It’s their special talent.

    Liar liar, jihad on fire.
    “She described a “sweet, old … African American lady” who got arrested for stealing a $2 loaf of bread to feed her starving 5-year-old granddaughter and spent the weekend in jail.”
    “Omar said she attended the courtroom when the woman was brought in, and yelled, “Bulls—!” when the woman was fined $80 she couldn’t pay.
    “City officials debunked the arrest, saying law enforcement isn’t allowed to arrest shoplifters unless it’s violent or there’s likely further crime.
    “The typical punishment for shoplifting is a three-hour class.”
    (And now comes the justification for the web of deceit and lies to our our children)
    “I grew up in an extremely unjust society,” the former Somali resident said in her speech, “and the only thing that made my family excited about coming to the United States was that the United States was supposed to be the country that guaranteed justice to all. So I feel it necessary for me to speak about that promise that’s not kept.”
    (No, Omar, your Daddy worked for the corrupt Marxist government. When the Marxist-Islamic government was overthrown, your family fled. But, at least you got the part about growing up in an extremely unjust society right, you lying sack of Marxism.)

    Fact Check: What IIhan Omar did say was, “….may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
    Maybe she was just trying to awaken the young students’ eyes.

    AVMAN1032, No that is untrue. Not one Republican ever owned a slave. And no one in my family tree of extraordinary Americans ever did. My guess is you do and they were all racists dogs.

    Gotta feel sorry for the Democrats. They have been boxed in a corner by ‘Resist!’
    They just had to defend Colin Kaepernick and declare the Betsy Ross flag a symbol of slavery, racism, and White Supremacy on the 4th of July. No more celebrating the 4th of July, lol. If they do not agree with that sentiment, they had to sit still and take it in the poop shute. Ouch. Take one for the team. Resist!
    The poor old dope smoking hippies now have to defend killing babies at the moment of birth, open borders, abolishing ICE, obliterating the economy with the GND, free health insurance for illegals, closing detention centers on day one (Harris), throw open the doors to the prisons, raising taxes, bigger and no intrusive government, and chant “America was never great, America is bad!”
    Oh yeah, they are stuck defending Socialism and it’s stellar record, defending silencing voices, and defending Antifa and street violence. And that’s only half the loaf.
    I truly do feel sorry for the ole coots, as well as the young ones who were taught by the old ignorant coots in our ever-sinking bottom of the barrel Ca schools. Talk about the Great Wasteland. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions. And they have to defend it or sit in silence. Their solutions are always worse that the problems.
    How about Senator Harris (D-CA) proposed 150 billion in housing grants to black people? That sounds like redistribution of wealth and reparations to me. 🙂

    BarryP 631am – ‘Homosexuality a perversion?’
    Perversion = “any of various means of obtaining sexual gratification that are generally regarded as being abnormal.”
    The very definition of perversion indicates that it is culture-specific, since abnormality is also culture-specific. For example, there are cultures where the exposing of a female’s hair is perversely abnormal. And most certainly there are cultures in which homosexuality is considered to be a perversion. So the question needs to be asked in the context of a given culture.
