LA Mayor Warns Immigration Crackdown Could Spark Riots
“That’s A Very Dangerous Situation”
It’s been 25 years the since the Rodney King riots, and it seems like another wave of civil unrest in Los Angeles has never been more likely.
Even LA Mayor Eric Garcetti thinks that his city could be a “tinderbox,” ready to blow. During a recent interview with Latino USA, he admitted that he thinks President Trump’s tough immigration policies could spark LA’s next riot.
On Friday’s NPR’s “Latino USA” podcast, Garcetti said it is dangerous when “ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] calls themselves police,” adding that “it’s bad for ICE and it’s bad for LAPD” because “people open that door expecting to see LAPD.” He said “if something goes wrong” when ICE agents try to deport illegal immigrants, “I fear a tinderbox out there, where people will suddenly say no and try to defend… keep that person from being taken. That’s a very dangerous situation.”
“We just commemorated 25 years since the urban unrest and we know how quickly things can explode,” Garcetti said, referring to the 1992 L.A. riots.

How 1989's Invasion Of Panama Set The Stage For 25 Years Of Endless War
By 1989, it had become apparent to all — everyone except the CIA, of course — that the Soviet economy, and thus the Soviet state was in very deep trouble.
In November 1989, the Berlin Wall came down in the face of Soviet impotence. And, with the Cold-War corpse not even cold yet, the US used the newly apparent Soviet weakness as an opportunity to begin invading a variety of foreign countries. These included Iraq, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia.
But first on the list was Panama in December 1989. At the time, the Panamanian state was an authoritarian regime that stayed in power largely due to US support, and functioned as an American puppet state in Central America where Communists were often successful in overthrowing right-wing dictatorships. The US regime's man in Panama was Manuel Noriega, who just died at 83 years of age. After years in US, French, and Panamanian prisons, Noriega has been forgotten by nearly everyone. But, after he stopped taking orders from Washington, Noriega became the first in a long line of foreign politicians who were held up as the next "Hitler" by the American propaganda machine. This was done in order to justify what would become an endless policy of invading tiny foreign countries that are no threat to the US — all done in the name of "humanitarian" intervention.
Writing in April 1990, Murray Rothbard summed up the situation in Panama:

Damage to tiny blood vessels causes depression
Keeping the heart healthy by avoiding junk food may also ward off depression, research suggests.
Damage to tiny blood vessels increases the risk of the blues by up to 58 per cent, Dutch scientists claim.
This destruction of capillaries, part of the body's microvascular system, is most often caused by high blood pressure and diabetes as a result of poor diets.
The vessels are responsible for transporting oxygen across the body, but if they become wrecked, various organs receive a reduced supply.
The brain is particularly vulnerable, Maastricht University experts said, as a lack of the vital gas can disrupt chemical levels.
An imbalance of these neurotransmitters is widely believed by researchers to be a cause of depression.

‘I Work At A F**king News Station, Motherf**ker’: Young Reporter Arrested After Unloading On Cop
A young reporter went on an obscenity-peppered tirade Sunday night outside a Philadelphia entertainment venue before getting arrested by local police officer.
Employees at the Helium Comedy Club asked Colleen Campbell, a 28-year-old recent graduate of Temple University, if she could be more quiet during actor and comic Craig Robinson’s standup performance, according to Philadelphia Magazine.
Even though management personally declined to comment, the broadcaster reportedly refused to lower her voice during Robinson’s show.
“About last night: this very obnoxious lady, who wasn’t drunk (nor high I think) was disturbing the show with her ‘loud whispering,'” comic Wil Sylvince wrote on a Facebook post. “After 3 warnings and other customers were complaining she was asked to leave.”

Breaking News: James Comey told Jeff Sessions he didn't want to be alone with President Trump after being unnerved by his request to end an F.B.I. inquiry
The day after President Trump asked James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, to end an investigation into his former national security adviser, Mr. Comey confronted Attorney General Jeff Sessions and said he did not want to be left alone again with the president, according to current and former law enforcement officials.
Mr. Comey believed Mr. Sessions should protect the F.B.I. from White House influence, the officials said, and pulled him aside after a meeting in February to tell him that private interactions between the F.B.I. director and the president were inappropriate. But Mr. Sessions could not guarantee that the president would not try to talk to Mr. Comey alone again, the officials said.

Questions the People Want Asked of James Comey
Many citizens throughout America are calling their senators and congressmen to have these questions given to the Judiciary committees, demanding former FBI Director James Comey to answer on Thursday. Seeing as Comey is so hell bent on getting in the limelight, the public wants several issues put to rest once and for all. If he wants to be in center spotlight, maybe it's time he has the tough questions to answer that makes his moment in the sun worth the wait for the rest of us.
Intuition says Comey will refuse to answer any or all of these questions as they tend to be self-incriminating; however, it shows the farce of the hearing which wastes taxpayer time and money. In reality, it's just another showboat event for the ultimate poser. Nothing more.

Delaware Joins U.S. Climate Alliance to Uphold Goals of Paris Agreement
Governor Carney pledges support in fight against
climate change
WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor John Carney announced on Monday that Delaware has joined the U.S. Climate Alliance, a coalition of states committed to upholding the Paris Agreement to combat climate change, after President Trump announced last week that he would withdraw the U.S. from the agreement. The Climate Alliance now includes 13 members.
“Delaware is the country’s lowest-lying state and with 381 miles of coastline, climate change is a very real threat to our future,” said Governor Carney. “As sea levels rise, more than 17,000 Delaware homes, nearly 500 miles of roadway and thousands of acres of wildlife habitat including our critical wetlands are at risk of permanent inundation. Rising average temperatures and an increase in extreme weather events also pose health risks to Delawareans, and threaten our economy. The U.S. should lead in the global fight against climate change. Delaware is proud to join this coalition of states providing that necessary leadership.”
The Paris Agreement called for the U.S. to achieve a 26-28 percent reduction of emissions, from 2005 levels, by 2025. Delaware’s continued commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to clean energy also will provide economic opportunity for Delawareans, and offer significant public health and environmental benefits.
Students At Delware School May Have Been Exposed To Tuberculosis
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE HOWARD T. ENNIS SCHOOL COMMUNITY:
June 6, 2017
Dear Howard T. Ennis Community Member:
The Delaware Division of Public Health and Indian River School District wanted to let you know that some individuals may have been exposed to active Tuberculosis as part of being transported to and from the Howard T. Ennis School. If you have not received a phone call or letter from the Division of Public Health, you or your child has not been exposed and so there is no need for you to take further action.
We recognize this information can cause concern and are reaching out to the entire Howard T. Ennis community in order to provide the most medically accurate and up-to-date information. We also want to be clear that the risk of transmission is low and that we are only recommending testing for certain individuals as a precaution.
We want you to know that while testing and treatment are very important, TB is preventable, and is curable with medicine. TB is transmitted by breathing in germs (bacteria) that are coughed or sneezed into the air by someone sick with TB disease. TB is not spread by touching objects or sharing eating utensils like forks, knives, or plates. TB is spread when someone spends a lot of time every day close to someone who is sick with TB disease. Usually, this is a family or household member.
There are two forms of TB. One is “latent TB,” where the germ is “asleep” in the body; the person is not sick and cannot spread the germs to others. Medication is provided to kill the “sleeping” germ so the person does not become sick in the future. The second form is “active TB disease,” in which the TB germ has made the person sick. Left untreated, this can result in serious illness or be life-threatening. Medication is available to kill the germs in the active form of TB, too, and cure the patient.
Below are TB fact sheets for further background. If you have any concerns about it or any other disease, we encourage you to contact your health care provider.
We also want to say again, if you are getting this letter, you or your child was not exposed to the disease.
Thank you.

Real Green Fund Money Contributions
The other day many of you posted all these grand numbers depicting what other countries paid into the Green Fund prior to President Trump pulling out of the Paris Agreement. Here is the official number for the countries that owe the most under the agreement.
Now can you see why these countries are upset about the US pulling out or do you need a better graphic?
