Next Tuesday, when President Trump speaks before Congress, we want to make sure our Congressman, Eliot Engel, ends his tradition of shaking every president's hand at every State of the Union. With every day, this president tramples on the traditions that have served to protect our freedoms and rights. He spouts lies with geyser-like regularity. He demonizes people because of their race, their religion, or their place of national origin. He thinks the judiciary is not allowed to question his decisions. He claims that the free press is "an enemy of the people." A handshake, especially one in such a public setting, is more than a mere formality. It is a gesture of respect. It's time for Rep. Engel to show some spine.

Yes, my girlfriend found out I was infaithful to her and used the Courts to issue a Domestic Violence Restraining Order against me, for disturbing her peace. The Order takes away the freedom of men, without the use of their Constitutional Rights, they take a real Batterer, like Oj Simpson, who terrorized hios wife Nicole, and then murdered her , Then on National Television, got off on the charges when everyone knew he was guilty .The Government vowed to never let this happen again. Our Government via Joe Biden, enacted the WAWA 1994, that is the best protection a woman could ever want; unfortunately it strips all rights of men who may just have an argument with their wife , she can run down, to the family Court fill an affidavit, DV109, 100, 120, 110, 130 the CLETS form, these forms present a primae facie Case to the Court( if unopposed it would prevail on the allegations of abuse), whetheer they are true or not. The fact that a Woman goes through the trouble of filling out the forms, is sufficient for these Courts to implement the intent of the Act , which is to prevent a battered woman from returning to continuuing abuse. All men have Domocles Sword hanging over their head, with these disparate laws, referred to in California Family Code 6200 et, seq. Section 6320 are the elements of this section ranging from disturbing the peace of another, verbal abuse, harassment and then ranging up to Physical Battering and Rape of the victim. The Courts and our Representatives have conveniently, put all these separate categories in to one section for ease of conviction of not a real batterer, but it could be a normal fight between a husband and wife, anbd the wife if she knows what to do , can get more than even with her husband for disturbing her peace. The Courts required to enforce the intention of the DVPA, even if sacrifices the freedom of all men, the motto is better a man sacrifificed than woman hurt. Most of this bombast is about future abuse, that might happen again, and the Courts are mandated to searate the parties 1-10 years, with a restraining order agaisnt the man( they really FEIGN that it is for the protection of men, that is bolderdash. IT PROTECTS WOMEN ONLY You have to distinguish between the Civil DVRO and the Criminal DVRO, they are basically the same except the Criminal guy (with criminal procedure rights) beats his wife brutally and gets the same DVRO as the Civil guy, who may have just lost a verbal argument to his wrathful wife who looks for vindication form the Courts who are happy to pass out DVROs against men,(without criminal procedure rights) its their legislative order and mandate that they do so. The real fabrications are in the statistics they cite about DV, they are as Trump states, alternative facts. The Act is a money make for the Government, both Federal and State , benefits, therapy groups, and if was put on NASDAQ, it would be a winning investment for the investor. The take home message is not that Domestic Violence should not be stopped, because it should but the way the law is written is void for vagueness, overbroad, and violates the over breadth doctrine of the Constitution, it needs to be re written to conform to the Constitution of the United States and the Human Rights Commision of 1948. It is not for the greater good as some believe( you cannot suspend a man criminal procedure and make it Civil for ease of conviction of the accused, and further the sacrifice of one innocent man and his freedom so a woman can be saved is not equal protection under the 14 th amendment. Please rewrite the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMAN ACT 2013, AND THE CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT SO THAT MEN ARE PROTECTED FULLY COMPLETELY AND CONSTITUIONALLY UNDER THE LAW . Not utilizing the intent of preventing future abuse as Standard for issuing a DVRO. PLEASE DO NOT EXTEND THE VAWA AFTER IT EXPIRES IN 2018, REWRITE THIS ACT AND THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT, SO THAT PEOPLE DO NOT PROFIT FROM IT, SO THAT IT PROTECTS WOMEN WITHOUT SACRIFICING INNOCENT MEN. LONG LIVE THE INTENT OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS AS IT APPLIES TO THIS ISSUE.

Residents of the Clearwater School District are petitioning for the acceptance of unnatural hair colors in the high school branch. Currently, the Student Dress Code in the handbook states: “Hair is to be worn neat and clean, and not be outrageous in nature in terms of hair color and/or haircut.” Parents, teachers, and role models encourage young adults to express themselves and not be afraid of whom they are. However, this rule contradicts what they appoint, as students are unable to fully express their individuality. Many of the surrounding schools currently embrace individual expression by allowing students the choice of dyeing their hair without restrictions to color. Lifting this rule will promote individualism, school attendance, unity, and an increase in school spirit. The acceptance of unnatural hair colors will also help decrease student suspension and negative attitudes toward disciplinary figures. Mother Theresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” With this in mind, if we stand together the masses will be heard.

SIGN OUR PETITION AND TELL BACKPAGE.COM: We won’t stand by and watch you profit off the rape and trafficking of innocent children. You must take responsibility for your actions TODAY. We will not let you continue to benefit from the exploitation of our children.

The Junipero Serra image is equivalent to what an image of Adolf Hitler would be for Jewish people. When they dehumanize us as a people and create the false narrative of inferiority they can continue to wage war on our people and disregard our rights because they've painted this picture of us being subhuman, literally.

AJAM was the highest quality, most objective journalism in the USA for three years, winning multiple awards and high praise in the industry. However, their business model was unsustainable due to multiple factors. Many of these factors could be mitigated or eliminated if properly addressed. America needs a network like this now more than ever before.

I attended my first community organizing meeting for the 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love three years ago -- a grassroots and volunteer led effort to come together in celebration of a cultural shift towards peace, love and understanding. City commons are for the people, and to refuse us a permit because we are not a large professional event corporation is wrongful.

This Florida Senate Bill, SB 188, would strip local governments throughout the State of Florida of self governing vacation rentals. This would devastate small communities due to " investor homes" that seek to have unregulated number of people, and allow for short term rentals for any length of stay in existing residential neighborhoods.
