This file is a US personal journal of commentary of examples of the Roanoke Times and Liberal Media Slant...... lbhagen@aol.com
The LGBT (lesbian, gay,
bisex and transsex) activists and their supporters have been on a roll (rolling
over the old square traditional folks)!
-
The Obama team and the ACLU,
Liberal Judges, Liberal Politicians and Pravda Media have been very successful
mandating open bathrooms, locker-rooms and showers in schools across the
country.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/07/transgender-virginia-girls-coming-to.html
-
They
are now busy “intersexting” the general public facilities throughout states,
schools and communities.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2016/04/yet-another-front-page-story-hyping-men.html
-
Two commercial entities that
have joined and are promoting the intersexting movement are Target and PayPal.
Since PayPal has limited
physical facilities that involve the public, it appears that it’s primarily
their own employees that will “benefit” from intersexting their facilities.
-
However, Target is primarily
a consumer-shopper entity and therefore the intersexting of their public
facilities is of interest to the general public some of whom appear to be
objecting.

One million Americans vow to boycott Target
over transgender bathrooms
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/04/29/one-million-americans-vow-to-boycott-target-over-transgender-bathrooms.html?intcmp=hplnws
The American Family
Association launched a boycott of the nation’s second largest retailer a week
ago – over Target’s corporate policy allowing men who identify as women to use
the bathrooms and fitting rooms of their choosing.
-
For those who agree with the
Target Intersexting Boycott, perhaps it will be more effective to stop by your
Target store and go in and tell the manager that you disagree with their
policy, then enter and use the bathroom of your other-sexual-identity, and then
tell all the others in that restroom about the Boycott.
-
Also, contact anyone you
know at the Roanoke Times encouraging them to use their other-sexual-identity
bathrooms in their facilities. If you’re
visiting the RT, don’t miss the opportunity to use your other-sexual-identity
bathroom in the editorial office complex!
They will warmly welcome you there!

Roanoke Times, 4-27-2016, Pg
6: Obama: US is setting up a shield to block missiles.
-
North Korea has demonstrated that it has nuclear weapons and
intercontinental guided missiles.
They have fired missiles
from land and submarines. Clearly, they
have the capability to fire intermediate range missiles from the holds in cargo
ships cruising the open oceans.
The key to-do component of
the N. Korean threat is miniaturizing the warheads so they may be delivered by
their guided missiles. A feat well
established by numerous other countries.
-
So, Obama, the nemesis and
mocker of Reagan’s Star Wars Defense Systems SDI is now going to “try” to
defend against N. Korean missiles that can reach Hawaii
and California.
Too bad Obama “shot-down”
the SDI RandD and testing and initial deployment of these systems to protect
the American people and our allies.
Would be a nice touch to
know that they work and can defend against launches onto our people from land,
sea and under-sea.

The damage and adverse
consequences done by Obama and his minions to US interests: militarily,
socially, economically and politically will unfold into the future and the
American people will pay a heavy price for the Reign of Obama.

-
Roanoke Times, 4-24-2016, Pg
3: Obama begins long goodbye tour of EU
Tours around Europe,
“where his popularity remains high”.
-
Who writes this false
tripe? Oh right! – the Pravda Media as
an extension of the Obama and DNC media organizations.
-
Obama popular in Europe --- Really?
Everywhere Obama went he was
rebuffed and rejected.
-
Pg 4: Tens of thousands protest the Obama
Trans-Atlantic trade deal agreement in Hanover
before the president’s visit where his answer to the massive million-Syrian
refugee’s invasion of Europe is to send 250 US
troops into Syria.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2016/04/obama-sends-one-third-of-richmond-cops.html
Perhaps Obama’s recent
description of EU Allies as “free riders” has affected his high popularity
rating.
-
-
4-22-2016, Pg 3: Obama fails to garner Gulf support. Obama had sought additional commitment to aid
Iraq,
but leaders appeared reluctant to invest.
-
Reluctant to invest! Perhaps they’re reflecting back to December 2011:
Obama: ‘We’re Leaving Behind
a Sovereign, Stable and Self-Reliant Iraq’
It was a "moment of
(George.BUSH) success," Obama said.
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/flashback-obama-we-re-leaving-behind-sovereign-stable-and-self
The focus was “we’re leaving
behind” and not on securing and guarding the gains and successes we had won
with our blood and treasure.
-
4-29-2016, Pg 1, 3: Obama sends VP Biden to Iraq to emphasize the ISIS threat to Iraq amid
political turmoil.
-
Just what the Iraqis need –
a military and political lesson from Jester Joe.
Does Obama and Biden think
that political leaders in Iraq
need tutoring on what will become their fate, and the fate of their country, if
ISIS takes over the country
-
Another example of two
yahoos on another boondoggle wasting taxpayer money, insulting the intelligence
of our allies, demonstrating our impotence to our adversaries and generating
lots of CO2 into the atmosphere.
-
However, The really bad news is that
Obama’s Secretary of State, Hillary, who has been responsible for managing Obama’s
so-called “Foreign Policy”, is the presumptive next President! What could possible go wrong with that
reality?
-
-
-
-
Roanoke Times, 4-26-2016, Pg
1, 5: Obama sending 250 more troops to Syria is a way to keep “momentum”
in the fight against terrorism.
250 Troops to keep the
“momentum” in the fight against Isis and
depose Assad, the butcher of the Syrian People!
250 Troops! --- Really?
That’s one-third of the 700
police officers in Richmond!
It’s also equivalent to one
(1) infantry company.
-
Taking this pathetic action
is one level of delusion.
Announcing it as a major
accomplishment brings Obama’s delusion to a whole new level.
-
Because of Obama’s “leading
from his behind”, Putin, Assad and ISIS are dominating the decimation of Syria that has resulted in overwhelming Europe with the biggest “displaced
persons” disaster since WW-2.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2016/04/denmark-no-longer-sanctuary-country-for.html
-
The so-called Obama-friendly
"Rebel Forces" have been reduced to a level Obama should rightly call a “JV-Team” and
are not a significant factor in countering Assad or ISIS.
-
All this highlights the
outcomes from Obama’s Hope and Change.

More New Bad News 4-27-2016
ISIS advances against rebels
in north Syria
Militants from the Islamic
State group seized five villages from Syrian rebels (Obama’s Team) close to the
Turkish border Wednesday, further weakening the rebels' foothold in the Aleppo area.
That left the rebels (Obama’s
Team) in Aleppo
with just one narrow corridor to the outside world, through Idlib province.
Those in Azaz are now squeezed between ISIS to the east and the SDF to the west
and south, while Turkey
tightly restricts the flow of goods and people through the border.

Roanoke Times, 4-24-2016, Pg 1, 11. Roanoke’s
office seekers said recent civic successes have not been inclusively
beneficial.
A major article that reveals some of Roanoke’s
challenges relative to race concentration by neighborhoods, disparity of
incomes and the have’s vs. have-not’s.
The 2500 word epistle was
well summed up with one short sentence:
“Fundamentally, the bedrock
change must be economic, they agree, so that more people can afford what is offered.”
The national and local economic
reality is that small businesses are the generators of most of the job creation
and growth.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/11/roanoke-times-business-editorials.html
Perhaps the Candidates can
invite Obama back to Fire House #1 in downtown Roanoke for another rousing marginalizing and
denigrating business owners and Entrepreneurs.

Obama “The Job Killer” has
created the most anti-business climate in US history.
The Obama anti-business initiatives
have included over-regulation, over-taxation, ObamaCare, overwhelming debt and
a total fixation on the growth and importance of a massive centralized
government.
-
-
-
-
Obama’s Hope and Change has
focused on moving America
to a Socialistic Culture with a Fascist Economic system in which government
controls and dominates businesses.
“Fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer”
The result of Obama’s business policies is that we now have
a chronic 63% employment participation with the devastating impacts on American
workers and their families.
http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/labor-force-participation-rate
Hopefully, the New and
Improved President will establish a team of pro-business and business savvy
cabinet members who will help businesses drive a rebirth of the American Free
Enterprise Economy that will generate an economic flood-tide that will raise all ships of all colors.

5-2-2016 News on McAuliffe's "felony voting pardons" for Hillary
Virginia GOP lawmakers to sue over felons' voting rights
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/02/virginia-gop-lawmakers-to-sue-over-felons-voting-rights.html?intcmp=hplnws
GOP lawmakers argue the governor has overstepped his constitutional authority with a clear political ploy designed to help his friend and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton get votes in the important swing state of Virginia this fall.
-
-
Just in time "felony
voting pardons” for Hillary’s election to POTUS!
-
-
The RT-Richmond
Times-Dispatch article avoided printing the gross racist McAuliffe statements
that this action was to “atone for Virginia’s
racist actions relative to Black people”:
Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2HokQ2DO9s
Apparently it’s OK with the
Black Lives Matter group to publically state that most of the felons in Virginia are Black. Imagine if a Republican Governor had made that
racial declaration.
As Governor, McAuliffe
should not be following Obama’s race-baiting and racial-divisive rhetoric.
Good or Bad: Doesn’t this policy apply to all felons?
Was Doug Wilder not the
first Black Governor elected in Virginia also
the first Black Governor elected in the US in 1990? Was that Racist?
Did Virginian’s not vote to
elect Obama as President – Twice? Was
that Racist?
Where are McAuliffe’s facts
to support his racist declaration that it’s White Racism that has incarcerated
Blacks for felonies for which they have been convicted?
How is McAuliffe and the
scores of other Democrat elected officials helping the Black community to
improve their family units and job opportunities so that their young men do not
become felons in the first place?

Message From: Rob Bell Delegate, 58th District
On Friday, Governor McAuliffe signed an executive order to restore the civil rights (to vote
or sit on a jury) to every convicted felon who has finished his sentence and
probation. This blanket restoration would apply automatically to all, including
Virginia’s most violent offenders.
Of course, Virginia already has a
process for Governors to restore a felon's civil rights. This is done on a
case-by-case basis, and in recent years thousands of offenders – most of them
nonviolent – have had their rights
restored this way.
However, no prior Governor has announced a blanket
restoration that applies for all felonies. By lumping all offenders together,
McAuliffe allows no consideration of:
(1) the seriousness of the offense,
including the injuries or death of the victim,
(2) whether the felon has paid
his victim’s medical bills,
(3) whether the offender committed multiple
offenses, or
(4) whether the felon has committed new offenses since his
release.
Far from determining that the felon has “paid his debt to society,”
McAuliffe’s order doesn’t even ensure that the felon has paid his debt to the
crime victim. He makes no effort to determine whether Virginia’s most violent
and dangerous criminals – many of them repeat
offenders – have changed their ways.
And in addition to voting, those previously convicted of crimes – including
rapists, robbers, and child pornographers – will be eligible to sit on juries
hearing similar cases.
McAuliffe's order literally treats an unrepentant
murderer the same as a serial shoplifter.
In addition, because it is
blanket restoration the executive order is subject to constitutional challenge.
Legal teams for Governor Kaine and Governor McDonnell looked at such an order
and concluded that under the Virginia Constitution, any restoration had to be
done on a case-by-case basis. Governor Kaine’s lawyer himself stated that a
blanket restoration “would be a rewrite of the law rather than a contemplated
use of the executive clemency powers. And, the notion that the Constitution of
the Commonwealth could be rewritten via executive order is troubling.” You can
read the legal opinions here and here.
Given these consistent legal opinions,
we are already reviewing legal options to get the order before a court for a
ruling on its constitutionality. In the meantime, please e-mail the Governor.
Tell him that you don’t think violent felons should serve on criminal juries.
Tell him to follow the Constitution.

Earth Day 2016 was opening
day at the UN International Global Warming Welfare Office. The NYC location was appropriate being the
biggest welfare epicenter in the US and perhaps the world.
There’s nothing quite so
soul-healing as watching Obama, Kerry and Gore give hundreds of Billions of
American TaxPayer Reparation Money to others for a discredited AGW-hypothesis
being used to further accelerate the International redistribution of wealth and
assets.
Nations Sign Historic
Climate Change Agreement
Representatives of nearly
200 nations pledged to cut their greenhouse gas emissions and slow global
warming
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015-12-12/nations-sign-historic-climate-change-agreement
Kerry’s announcement of $100
billion a year in climate aid by 2020; it promises to begin increasing such “aid”
in 2025, though by an unspecified amount.
This “aid” to developing
countries to help them cope with sea level rise, worsening droughts, and other
climate impacts that can no longer be avoided?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/14/is-the-paris-agreement-an-amazing-achievement-or-a-disaster.html
It’s a good thing that this
agreement wasn’t implemented in 1600 during the Little Ice Age! Stopping the Natural Global Warming that ended
The Little Ice Age circa 1750, and that continues today, would have resulted in
the continuation of massive adverse cold temperatures throughout the Northern
Hemisphere and a very hostile global environment for all forms of life.
What would we have done to stop the Natural Global Warming in 1600? What indeed?
Perhaps The Burning of three witches in Baden, Switzerland (1585) was a feeble attempt.
However, the rising sea
levels would still be occurring because even the Little Ice Age was much warmer
than the last massive Glacial Period. 16,000
years ago the oceans were 400 feet lower than today and the NC Outer Banks were
50 miles out at the Continental Shelf, talk about your oceans rising and
adverse impacts to ocean-front properties!
Natural Global
Temperature And Climate Changes – The Only Kind So Far
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2016/04/natural-global-temperature-and-climate.html
It would be heartwarming to
watch Kerry and Gore glibly giving away Billions of American taxpayers money to
“others” as reparations for our fossil fuel sins, except for the fact that
there is no scientific proof that burning fossil fuels is or has or will cause
significant global warming.
All the
taxpayers who will be paying these Billions to “others” should take a few
minutes and watch:
The Best Earth
Day Video
https://www.facebook.com/prageru/videos/1054440531265469/
Bill Clinton
signed the last so called Global Warming Kyoto Treaty. The US Senate rejected the Treaty by 99 to 0.
Obama says he
will simply use his pen and cell-phone this time. No need to bother this Senate over trivial
things like the Constitutional requirement for Senate approval of Treaties.

Roanoke Times, 4-20-2016, Pg 6: Deschutes (beer) deal could lead some city
residents to sell their homes; agreement “requires” Roanoke to make efforts to buy nearby
properties.
Economic Development and Job Creation is vitally important
to Southern Virginia and the Roanoke Area.
Deschutes Beer will bring jobs and economic stimulation to
the area.
It’s not clear at this time which local homeowners and
businesses will be “asked” to sell and move.
Hopefully this will be done without eminent domain
processes.
Perhaps the Governor and Mayor could have constrained their
enthusiasm to clinch the deal with “a beer” until after the media left.
They certainly didn’t set a good example for
all the young people watching the local TV news!

Virginia Hides Criminal History
From Employment Application
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/04/virginia-hides-criminal-history-from.html
Bernie Sanders has spent the
past six months campaigning for President as Karl Marx’s surrogate. His entire campaign rants are focused on the
premise that the “rich” don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
Turns out he’s "the rich" and
yes, he doesn’t pay his fair share of taxes!
The Washington Post produced
one of the best examples of Pravda Press coverage in their distortion of Bernie
Sanders income and taxes paid.
Sanders and wife report $200,000 in income and paid 19.6% taxes.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/06/30/on-tax-returns-sanders-and-wife-report-200000-in-income-mostly-from-his-senate-post/
Really?
Sanders reported receiving
$156,441 from his Senate job, after contributions to a savings plan and health
insurance (that’s income: how much was that?).
The couple reported receiving another
$46,213 in Social Security benefits, of which $39,281 was taxable.
Sanders also reported income of $4,982 from the pension he receives having been
mayor of Burlington, Vt., in the 1980s.
And his wife had another $4,900 in compensation for sitting on a commission
devoted to the management of low-level radioactive waste disposal.
THEREFORE THE FAMILY INCOME
WAS: $212,536+
That’s rather important
because it places Bernie in the top 2% of US family income!
Pretty good for a Socialist
ranting about those “rich” people.
$220,000 Income is top 2% of
US
household income
http://www.mybudget360.com/how-much-average-household-income-us-recession-income-distribution/
The Washington Post
continued their Pravda Media coverage with the following review of Bernie’s
taxes.
According to his tax forms,
Sanders and his wife paid $27,653 in federal income tax and another $7,903 in Vermont income tax last
year. The couple paid an effective tax rate of 19.6 percent on their federal
taxable income of $140,994.
NO! That’s NOT It! Bernie is ranting about the Federal Tax Code
and FIT and nary a word or inference to any State taxes some of which do not
have any income taxes.
Bernie’s FIT Income =
$212,536+. (A top two-percenter)
He paid $27,653 in FIT
Therefore he paid a measly
13% in Federal Income Taxes FIT!
Clearly Bernie is a top 2%
who isn’t paying his fair share of Taxes!
Talk about a Leftwing
Hypocrite!
Karl Marx would be so
disappointed in his protégé!
For The Record, For Bernie and all his cronies:
The top 10 percent of taxpayers paid over 70% of the total amount collected in federal income taxes in 2010, the latest year figures are available, according to the Tax Foundation, a think tank that advocates for lower taxes. That's up from 55% in 1986.
