ACLU asks Justice Dept. to accept Dylann Roof guilty plea offer
The deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union is urging the Justice Department to accept the Charleston church shooter's offer to plead guilty to federal hate crimes.
The statement from the ACLU's Jeffrey Robinson on Wednesday came after the delay in Dylann Roof's trial pending his competency evaluation. The delay, Robinson says, gives the Justice Department a chance to accept Roof's offer to plea guilty.
Roof had originally offered to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence, but federal prosecutors rejected that offer and said they would still seek the death penalty.
Roof, now 22, is the perpetrator of the June 17, 2015, shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church that left nine black parishioners dead.

Trump: The Left Just Lost The War On Climate Change
This guy – he works for Buzzfeed – has called it absolutely right. The liberal-left just lost the ‘battle’ against climate change.
Donald Trump isn’t just skeptical about global warming. He is what the alarmists would call a full-on climate change “denier”.

Mr. Martin was brought before a District Court Commissioner and was held at the Worcester County Jail to be held on a $25,000 bond.
Black Lives Matter Activists Respond to Trump Victory
Black Lives Matter activists expressed shock, anger, fear, and defiance on social media after the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States, demonstrating that the radical leftists behind the Black Lives Matter movement view the election as a setback but far from the end of their work in dividing the country.
Before the election results were known, activists like Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors were already digging in for the work of fighting for leftists causes.
On the eve of the election myself and Janaya Khan are teaching our Organizing for Change class. I really appreciate being able to study and continue to develop a political analysis that is about deepening theory for the sake of practice. Praxis.
Then in a separate post, Cullors was defiant.
We ain’t going out like this.
Another well-known face in Black Lives Matter is Shaun King, whose message on Twitter was about reaching out to only specific groups. White people were not mentioned:
Dear Muslims, Immigrants, Women, Disabled, and All People of Color,
I love you – boldly and proudly. We will endure. We will not break.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) November 9, 2016
On election night, King had expressed disdain for both President-elect Trump and shame for his country.

The Anti-Establishment Trend Has Been Solidified in Trump's Historic Victory, Brexit 2.0
Where were you? Where were you on the 8th of November? Where were you the day that we solidified the trend, the trend of anti-globalism, the trend of wrestling back the power from the elite power structure and returning it into the rightful hands of we, the people?
Trump's historic win was foretold by me and others in the alternative media. This victory was much discussed, as we explained that it had little to do with the candidate, but everything to do with the message of bucking the status quo and shaking up the house.
It began with Brexit, in which the elites thought of as a one-off Black Swan event. Now, we know definitively that this was not a one-off event. Trump's victory for all intents and purposes can be classified as Brexit 2.0, a historic and monumental event that will go down in our history books as the start of a new age.
Losing their crown jewel, the United States will come as a massive blow to the elite establishment and their cronies. They will have to deal with the fact that it is not going to end here - next up for change are France and Germany, both of which are experiencing "change" candidates rising in the ranks and challenging the status quo.

For Many Supporters, Trump Is A Thing Called Hope
Chamberlain believes Trump is her savior, sent by God to save America from ruin. She owns a women’s clothing store in this remote town; her husband runs a construction company. They have two children and barely get by on $44,000 a year, living paycheck to paycheck.
In his victory speech, Trump called people like Chamberlain and her family America’s “forgotten men and women” — the blue-collar workers in the manufacturing towns of the Rust Belt and the hallowing coalfields of Appalachia who propelled him to an improbable victory. They felt left behind by progress, laughed at by the elite, and so put their faith in the billionaire businessman with a sharp tongue and short temper who promised to Make America Great Again.

Pollsters suffer huge embarrassment
Pollsters and election modelers suffered an industry-shattering embarrassment at the hands of Donald Trump on Tuesday night.
Trump had long said the polls were biased against him. His claims – dismissed and mocked by the experts – turned out to be true.
“It’s going to put the polling industry out of business,” said CNN anchor Jake Tapper. “It’s going to put the voter projection industry out of business.”
Going into Election Day, a strong majority of pollsters and election modelers forecast that Hillary Clinton would coast to victory, with many predicting she would sweep the battlegrounds and win north of 300 electoral votes.
The final University of Virginia Center for Politics model had Clinton winning 322 electoral votes to 216 for Trump, with Clinton winning Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – all states that she lost.

OCPD Partners With Worcester G.O.L.D. For Holiday Drive
OCEAN CITY – The Ocean City Police Department is collecting new, unwrapped toys for this year’s holiday season to benefit Worcester G.O.L.D., a non-profit organization that provides financial support to county citizens.
In previous decades, the department’s prior benefactor, the Santa House, has helped 20,244 children, 8,275 families and 779 elderly citizens with contributions gathered from the community since its start in the 1990s.
But with no permanent location to run the program, Santa House officials said they would suspend operations for the 2016 season to find a suitable building that will best serve the needs of the community.
Each year, collected toys, food and clothing are divided by family and given to distribution centers at the Ocean City Police Department, Showell Fire Department, Snow Hill Lions Club and the Pocomoke Fair Grounds.

Huckabee: Brace Yourselves for Media Hysterics
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says the historic election of Donald Trump as president will trigger endless hand-wringing in the media about the nation's future — but its predictions of doom and gloom in no way ring true.
"It's morning in America. The sun is shining, the birds are singing. But wait, how is that possible? Donald Trump is President-elect!" Huckabee wrote Wednesday on his Facebook page.
"We were assured that if that happened, the sky would blacken, there would be mass hysteria and the planet would immediately be immolated in a fiery, nuclear ball of death! Or something like that. Maybe I've been reading too much HuffPo …

CNN’s Tapper: It’s the Dems That Are Going to Fight
During CNN’s Election Night coverage anchor Jake Tapper argued that “We’ve been talking…about what’s going to happen to the Republican Party, and the bloodletting, and the infighting, and who’s going to lead the Republican Party and all that. Again, completely wrong, it’s the Democratic Party that’s going to have this fight.”
Tapper said, “And in fact, in the exit polls I saw earlier, I don’t know if they’ve been updated, the Democrats were losing half of union households. We’ve been talking because we’ve been all trusting the polls…about what’s going to happen to the Republican Party, and the bloodletting, and the infighting, and who’s going to lead the Republican Party and all that. Again, completely wrong, it’s the Democratic Party that’s going to have this fight.”

Officials Break Ground On Berlin Police Station Project
Construction of the new building, which is expected to be complete in early 2018, will enable Berlin’s police force to move out of its cramped space on William Street and into a state-of-the-art facility.
“This is a very important day for the law enforcement community,” Mayor Gee Williams said.
In Berlin, officials have been discussing the need for a new police station for years. The cramped space adjacent to town hall currently that’s been used by the town’s police since the 1960s is not only too small, it doesn’t meet the standards modern-day stations are required to meet.

DJT: A time for greatness
Exclusive: Michael Stutz exults, 'We're going to have a national identity again'
Donald J. Trump remembers when America was great.
I don’t.
For as long as I know, the American past was better than the present – and the future would obviously be worse. That’s been the daily reality for my entire adult life.
I might’ve caught a glimmer of America’s greatness in the eye of childhood, but early on the culture of my youth was a complete bombardment of degeneracy and ruin. Twenty-first century American life now resembles a dystopia that worsens every day.
It took a long while for me to wake up – I was a product of postmodern American culture, post-Vatican II parochial schooling and all the other dumbed-down influences from television to rock. But eventually I came to see how I was born into a society that had already gone into collapse.
The West has been off track ever since the ’60s revolt – it was like the French Revolution, and has caused all institutions to fail.

GM Slashes 2000 Jobs, Suspends 3rd Shift On Bloated Inventories, Slowing Sales
Who could have seen this coming? Just weeks after Ford idled four factories due to slumping sales and excess inventory, GM just followed by slashing 2000 jobs permanently and suspending a third shift at production facilities in early 2017.
We have warned numerous times that there is only one way this ends...
And so it just did...
GM Statement:
General Motors today announced initiatives to strengthen and align its production output at key U.S. manufacturing operations. The plans include investing more than $900 million in three facilities — Toledo Transmission Operations in Ohio, Lansing Grand River in Michigan and Bedford Casting Operations in Indiana — to prepare the facilities for future product programs.
GM also announced plans to align production output with demand for cars built at the Lordstown, Ohio, and Lansing Grand River, Michigan, assembly plants. As the customer shift from cars to crossovers and trucks is projected to continue, GM will suspend the third shift of production at both facilities in the first quarter of 2017.

Time for Trump to deliver one more surprise
Donald Trump's stunning victory in the presidential race is not just devastating to liberals in general and Hillary Clinton in particular. It is also concerning to many conservatives as well.
Trump's vision of America, the "Crippled America" of which he has written, is not one that most people share in all its particulars. But most Americans can see some plain, unvarnished truth in it, which is why Trump is on his way to the White House.
In a race to the bottom between the two least popular presidential nominees in modern history, voters did what most professional pundits said they would not: Unable to face the dreary and degrading prospect of electing the devil they did know, the latest champion of the corrupt Clinton clan, they took a risk on the untried candidate.
Clinton's belated departure from the national political scene is cause for celebration. Democrats will bemoan her loss, thinking rightly that they are in a perilous state if they cannot beat an opponent so flawed. Clinton's venality and mendacity proved an insurmountable obstacle for too many voters, as it should have.

Former British Ambassador: Podesta Emails Leaked by Washington Insider, Not Russians
"You should look to Washington not to Moscow"
Former British ambassador Craig Murray says he was told that the source of the John Podesta email leak was a Washington insider and not the Russians, as Hillary Clinton’s campaign continues to claim.
“The source of these emails and leaks has nothing to do with Russia at all,” Murray told Sputnik. “I discovered what the source was when I attended the Sam Adam’s whistleblower award in Washington. The source of these emails comes from within official circles in Washington DC. You should look to Washington not to Moscow.”
Murray went on to blast the narrative that Wikileaks is a conduit for Russia by asserting that such claims are “designed to divert attention from the content of the material.”

How Donald Trump's victory might affect the FBI headquarters competition
That is, assuming the competition goes on. Donald Trump, a real estate developer and the next president of the United States, is a wild card. We simply don't know what he's going to do. But here's our best guess.
Clinton is a close friend of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, is a former governor of the commonwealth. It stands to reason that if Clinton had defeated Trump, it would have significantly boosted Virginia's shot at landing the 2.4 million-square-foot FBI headquarters.

Did Podesta Hint At What Was Coming: "FBI Leakers Should Shut Up"
With just two days left until the election, John Podesta went on one of the Clinton campaign's "friendly" political talk shows to bash FBI agents leaking harmful info about their various investigations into Hillary's assorted criminal cases. In an interview that wreaked of a little desperation, Podesta lashed out at FBI agents saying "the leakers should shut up." With the interview occurring earlier this morning before the recent news that the FBI has balked, yet again, at bringing official charges against Hillary, it certainly seems possible that Podesta had advanced knowlege that a Comey announcement was forthcoming (see "Hillary Cleared As FBI Folds Again: Comey Says "Conclusions Unchanged From July" On Clinton Email Review").
I think what Mr. Comey did just 9 days ago was a mistake. I think it broke with precedent. I think it was criticized roundly by democrats and republicans. It was a mistake.
There is a reason for that policy. It looked like it was interfering in the election.
I think the men and women of the FBI are doing a tremendous job out here across the country. But the leakers should shut up.

'When People Can’t Express Their Opinions Without Being Called Bigots, They Find an Outlet'
On Wednesday’s “MSNBC Live,” anchor Stephanie Ruhle, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, and journalist Tina Brown discussed the 2016 election and political correctness, and during that discussion, Ruhle wondered if political correctness has prevented people from saying things that are important, and Bruni and Brown concluded that when people feel they’ll be attacked for speaking their minds, they find an outlet like President-Elect Donald Trump.
Ruhle asked, “Did we over-simplify things? Did we believe that Hillary Clinton and this all-inclusive global citizen message does represent the United States, and thought that this base that Donald Trump had really was just in this narrow nationalist vertical? When many of the initiatives that represent Obama…many people could say transgender bathrooms in high schools, how many people is that going to impact in this country? Not so many.”
Bruni stated that the Democratic Party has become a “collection of boutique issues” ...

Seven World-Historical 'Achievements' Of The Iraq Invasion Of 2003
Here is a list of the noteworthy, ongoing results of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq beginning in March 2003. (Recall that invasion was denounced by the UN as illegal, based entirely on lies, and—given the U.S.’s hegemonic position in the world, allowing it to act with impunity—the crime’s architects have never punished.)
1) The principal achievement of the war and occupation was the dramatic expansion of the al-Qaeda network that had attacked the U.S. on January 11, 2001. An al-Qaeda franchise was established in Iraq for the first time, playing a key role in the Sunni “insurrection” against the occupiers and their Shiite allies, then expanding across the border into Syria where it split into the al-Nusra affiliate and its even more savage rival, ISIL. Iraq also served and serves as a training ground for jihadis now operating from Iraq to Libya and beyond.
2) The invasion and its consequences encouraged the cause of Kurdistan, an imagined state straddling Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. The Kurds are the largest stateless people in the world, victims of British and French colonialists who divided the region between them after World War I. After the Gulf War of 1991, the U.S. established a “no-fly” zone over northern Iraq to discourage Baghdad from deploying troops in the region. Iraqi Kurdistan had already obtained a degree of autonomy before the invasion but the status became official under the occupation and a referendum for independence is likely to pass soon. This would infuriate Iraq and perhaps provoke Turkey’s intervention. As it is, the autonomous region is locked in struggle with Baghdad over territorial claims and control over oil fields.

Ryan Hails Trump's 'Amazing Political Feat'
(CNSNews.com) - An enthusiastic House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told a news conference on Wednesday, "Donald Trump pulled off an amazing political feat, and he deserves tremendous credit for that. It helped us keep our majorities, but it also showed the country that people don't like the direction we were going. We need to change direction."
On Wednesday, Ryan said he has spoken several times with Trump in the past 18 hours.
"He just earned a mandate," Ryan said.
In response to a question, Ryan said there is no reason for anyone to worry about their civil liberties being violated under a Trump administration: "Take a look at the judges that he has already said he will choose from to put on the Supreme Court. These are judges that actually respect the Bill of Rights, that respect the Constitution.
"I think one of the biggest victories of this race is the Constitution itself. And so for those people who are concerned, and for those people who clearly didn't want the Republicans to win, we have a very clear agenda. We believe in the principles that built this country, we believe in the Constitution. We have an agenda to get people back to work; we want to bring accountability to the federal government; we want the federal government to respect the states.”

After 40 years of sex, lies and scandals, the Clintons are to leave public life
Almost 40 years after Bill and Hillary Clinton first entered American public life, they are to leave it beset by crushing humiliation.
There will be no first female U.S. President — this time. History will not be made by a wife following her two-term husband into the Oval Office. There will be no dynasty, no President Hillary Clinton.
Why did they think they deserved otherwise?
A zombie marriage killed long ago by Bill’s philandering was cynically reactivated to boost her White House ambitions.
Trump called her ‘crooked Hillary’. She certainly warranted the adjective ‘toxic’. She was chilly and aloof; the technocrat personification of America’s East Coast liberal elite that Rust Belt America and beyond had grown to despise.

Pruden: A day to separate the losers
There can be but one winner, but losers abound.
Jeb Bush could be the Theodore White of this election campaign, calling it “The Unmaking of the President,” subtitled “How I Blew $120 Million to Make It to Sixth Place.”
Like all the Bushes, father and sons, Jeb is a nice guy. Leo Durocher, the manager of the old Brooklyn Dodgers, famously put nice guys in a context all their own. “Nice guys!” he said, one day in the summer of 1946, talking with sportswriters before a game with the Dodgers’ hated crosstown rivals, the New York Giants.
“Look over there. Do you know a nicer guy than [Giants Manager] Mel Ott? Or any of the other Giants? Why, they’re the nicest guys in the world. And where are they? In seventh place. Nice guys. I’m not a nice guy — and I’m in first place. The nice guys are all over there, in seventh place.” A headline in the old New York Journal-American put it in the words everybody remembers: “Nice guys finish last.”
Donald Trump is this year’s Leo Durocher.

DSP: Joint Police Investigation Leads to Multiple Arrests for Heroin Distribution
- Brandon A. Ways
- Torontay T. Mann
- Angeline M. Metelus
- Vanity N. Corea
- Norquetta C. Heath
- Tateyana Rideout
Seaford– On Saturday November 5, 2016 the Sussex Drug Unit and the Seaford Police Department concluded a joint investigation which targeted a large-scale Heroin distribution organization centered in the Seaford area.

Don't Like President Trump? Thank a Liberal
Donald Trump pulled off arguably the biggest political upset in history. He went into election night with a very slim chance of winning and came out victorious. The reason why he won is clear to anyone who has endured divisive leftism over the last eight years and it’s liberals who gave birth to the Trump phenomenon.
Liberal media pundits, academics, and politicians spent Obama’s tenure fanning the flames of the silent majority. Every disagreer was a bigot. Every conservative opposed to central planning “hated poor people”. Every police officer was a racist murderer. Not a single Democrat wasted a moment turning everything into a racial issue - all with zero regard for objective truth.
If you spend any time in the Facebook political sphere, the last few years of Occupy Democrats, Being Liberal, and the rest of the lot will tell you a lot about the underlying tension. “Disagree with us and you’re a racist”, “we deserve $15 an hour because you’re a greedy bastard”, and so on and so forth. Occupy Democrats went so far as to once suggest that disagreeing with the President is paramount to treason.

Trump triumphs -- Media's 'primal scream' is heard round the world
No, America, that wasn’t an earthquake. That was a media scream that registered 11 on the Richter scale as Republican Donald Trump defied media demands and went on to win the presidential election in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump to concede.
A nearly unanimous media failed to carry the unpopular Hillary across the finish line. Once again, America rejected the liberal Democrat. Advil set the tone early with a comment: “Politics giving you a #migraine? Advil® Migraine is the best candidate for pain relief.” CNN commentator David Axelrod called it a “primal scream.” ABC’s Terry Moran called it “a rejection of the neoliberal world order that has been the consensus around the world.” CNN commentator and former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones called the election a “White-lash against a changing country.”
When it appeared that Hillary would not concede, after campaign chairman John Podesta appeared before her supporters in Manhattan and told everyone to go home and get some rest, even some in media criticized her. USA Today Washington correspondent Paul Singer was typical: “Stunned that @HillaryClinton did not concede. If @realDonaldTrump pulled that, people would go bananas.”

CLINTON FOUNDATION MAJOR CORRUPTION TIES TO CHELSEA's WEDDING
WIKILEAKS CONTINUES TO RELEASE more emails hacked from the account of the Clinton campaign chairman, John Podesta. Today, troubling information is revealed in an email that allegedes the Clintons paid for their daughter’s wedding through the Clinton Foundation. You can see the email by clicking here.
Here is what Fox News is reporting:
Former President Bill Clinton’s top aide wrote in 2012 that Chelsea Clinton used Clinton Foundation resources “for her wedding and life for a decade” and a top Foundation donor was responsible for “killing” unfavorable press coverage – all as an internal Foundation audit uncovered numerous conflicts of interest and “quid pro quo benefits,” according to emails released Sunday by WikiLeaks.
Doug Band, founder of global strategies company Teneo and Bill Clinton’s personal assistant since the 1990s, wrote the Jan. 4, 2012, email to future Hillary Clinton presidential campaign chair John Podesta and two other Clinton aides after receiving word that Chelsea had told “one of the [President] bush 43 kids” and others about “an internal investigation of money within the foundation.” Band wrote such chatter was “not smart.”

How did everyone get it so wrong?
Polls and predictive models failed to predict Trump’s strength.
Everybody was wrong. Again.
When Election Day dawned, almost all the pollsters, analytics nerds and political insiders in the country had Hillary Clinton waltzing into the White House.
By the time polls had closed nationwide on Tuesday night, those projections had been left in shambles — just like the ones a year ago that all-but ruled out the possibility of Donald Trump winning the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.
Headed into Election Day, polling evangelist Nate Silver’s 538 website put Clinton’s odds at winning the White House at about 72 percent. By midnight, the site had more than flipped its odds making, giving Trump an 84 percent chance of winning.
Trump had notched hugely significant upset victories in Florida, North Carolina and Wisconsin — critical swing states where almost every public poll and most private projections had shown Clinton ahead.

Clinton Foundation Memo: Donor Killed 'Unfavorable' Bill Clinton Tabloid Stories
A major Bill and Hillary Clinton supporter helped kill “unfavorable” stories in the National Enquirer about the former president, an internal Clinton Foundation memo shows.
Written by longtime Bill Clinton assistant Doug Band, the Nov. 12, 2011 memo lays out the complex relationship that Clintonworld had with Marc Lasry, a billionaire who then owned a majority of the debt for American Media Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer.
“Mr. Lasry, like other Foundation donors, has a multifaceted relationship with the Foundation and the President,” reads the memo, which Band sent to two lawyers who were conducting an internal audit of the Clinton Foundation.
As part of that “multifaceted relationship,” Lasry contributed to the Clinton Foundation, hosted fundraisers at his home, hired Chelsea Clinton at his hedge fund, Avenue Capital Group, and helped Chelsea’s husband raise money for his own hedge fund.

Clinton Foundation Is The 'Largest Unprosecuted Charity Fraud Ever'
Wall Street investment analyst Charles Ortel called the Clinton Foundation “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud ever attempted” before all the newly-exposed emails from campaign chairman John Podesta’s account were released from WikiLeaks.
The leaks have fortified his findings. The Wall Street investment analyst, who retired at 46 and prides himself on researching complex problems like General Electric and the credit crisis, has been fly-specking the Clinton Foundation since the spring of 2015.
Ortel explains why he believes the Clinton Foundation is a “crooked charity cooking the books” with over $2 billion dollars in revenue, in this exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation.

David Stockman: "The Jig Is Up: America’s Voters Just Fired Their Ruling Elites"
America’s voters fired their ruling elites last night. After 30 years of arrogant misrule and wantonly planting the seeds of economic and financial ruin throughout Flyover America, the Wall Street/Washington establishment and its mainstream media tools have been repudiated like never before in modern history.
During the course of the past year, upwards of 70 million citizens—–59 million for Trump and 13 million for Bernie Sanders—-have voted for dramatic change. That is, for an end to pointless and failed wars and interventions abroad and a bubble-based economic policy at home. The latter showered Wall Street and the bicoastal elites with vast financial windfalls—-even as it left 90% of Flyover America behind, where households struggled with stagnant wages, vanishing jobs, soaring health costs, shrinking living standards and diminishing hope for the future.
The voters also said in no uncertain terms that they are fed-up with a “rigged” system that has one set of rules for establishment insiders and another for everyone else. In essence, that’s

Stocks Surge to Unexpected Near-Records Following Trump Victory
It turns out that President Donald Trump might not be bad for the stock market after all.
Asian stock markets tumbled shortly after Trump overtook Hillary Clinton in the presidential electoral vote count early Wednesday. From there, all signs quickly pointed to a big stumble for Wall Street — that never materialized.
Soon after Trump was confirmed as America's 45th president and he delivered an acceptance speech pledging to unify a deeply divided nation, global financial markets steadied.
The U.S. stock market wavered in the first hour of trading, but then moved sharply higher, flirting by late afternoon with a record high for the Dow Jones industrial average.
"He took on a remarkably conciliatory posture," said Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager at the Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank. "That went a long way to demonstrating perhaps for the first time, or very few times, his presidential disposition and gave a greater sense of calm. That's what had an early reprieve in the markets."

Dallas "Pension Fund Panic" As Mayor Warns Of 130% Property Tax Hike To Avoid Collapse
Over the past year, the biggest casualty to emerge as a result of global NIRP (or close to it) monetary policy have been pension funds, which have had two choices: either suffer losses as yields on new fixed income investments barely cover (and in some case don't), or scramble for duration (or outright risky investments like junk bonds and high beta stocks).
In August, we created the chart below as a simplistic illustration of the pension "duration dilemma." The chart graphs how a pension liability grows in a declining interest rate environment versus the value of 5-year and 30-year treasury bonds. As you can see, a $1BN pension that is fully funded at prevailing interest rates would be nearly $700mm underfunded if interest rates declined 300bps and all of their assets were invested in 30-year treasury bonds. The result is obviously even worse if the fund's assets are invested in shorter duration 5-year treasuries.

Md. leaders: Term limits a ‘hardly surprising’ protest
WASHINGTON — Voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, want a change in leadership. By approving term limits on County Council members Tuesday, residents decided this will be the last go-round for four senior council members.
Voters on Tuesday passed Question B with 69 percent of the vote, thus limiting the time the county executive and County Council members can remain in office to three consecutive terms.
“If you combine raising taxes, and the anger and energy that exists, as was made evident in this election, it’s hardly surprising that a protest would take place in this form,” said Council Vice President Roger Berliner (D-District 1).

ISIS Snipers Thwarted by Iraqi Hero in Bulletproof BMW
An Iraqi man has been honored as a hero for saving 70 people from ISIS sniper fire in his bulletproof BMW.
Ako Abdulrahman was in Kirkuk on Oct. 21 when snipers attacked the oil-rich city. The 32-year-old man from Taza Khurmatou quickly realized that an armored vehicle he purchased at an auction for $10,000 would be the only hope for shuttling victims to safety — so he went to work.
“I told myself, this is the right time to help people, this is the right moment to do it. I am a [Peshmerga] fighter and I have a bulletproof car, shame on me if I can’t help,” Mr. Abdulrahman said of his decision to drive into a hail of bullets, CNN reported Monday. “When I arrived at the scene, I saw many people on the ground, civilians and security forces and no one could dare to come close because of ISIS snipers and random shooting.”
The Iraqi man said he never bothered to consider the religion or ethnicity of the people he saved — just that they were his people in need.
“In my car, I carried Sunni, Shiite, Kurds, Turkmen and Christians,” he added. “I felt like I am truly Iraq and this is who everyone should be. My car received more than 50 bullets, [there are] marks all over it. ISIS kept shooting, hoping to penetrate my car to kill me and kill the wounded people inside it.”
