Next: The political situation in 2014. Now, let's refer once again to this little snippet of a quote of yours, this time, to the sections you obligingly put in boldface: 'President Obama faces increasing pressure to change immigration policies in order to keep families together, and the House completely stalls immigration reform.' The house in 2014 was considered hostile to Obama, to such an extent that it is considered the least productive congress in US history, apart from the one just before it(Source).
In 2014 (at the end of the year, so after the Huffington Post article referred to in this post), it seemed that Obama considered an executive action that, among others, would
Quote:
It would offer a legal reprieve to the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who've resided in the country for at least five years. This would remove the constant threat of deportation. Many could also receive work permits.
Of course, the Republicans responded: Boehner denounced the executive action, and then minutes later proceeded to announce a lawsuit against Obama over Obamacare. The bill didn't make it to the floor to be voted on.
The alleged "hostility" is Democratic propaganda to cover up Obama's failures as a president. In 2012 he wasted all of his political capital attacking the NRA, and as a consequence he had nothing left to drive a political agenda forward in the legislature. That is the main reason why nothing was achieved in his second term.
Despite Obama's inability to drive a legislative agenda, at the end of 2014, moderate Republicans in the newly-elected Congress were preparing to compromise with Obama and pass immigration reform -- not because of Obama, but because those moderate Republicans themselves wanted it to pass. Obama's executive order undermined those moderates and ensured that no such reform would be passed.

Harley Davidson is one of those companies I've never understood. They are marketing a macho image based on a 1300cc motorcycle that runs like anybody elses 350 only at three or four times the weight and an engine that was a bad design in 1920 and has never been fundamentally improved.
The Ducati llikewise is a stupid thing to want to use as a road bike. The desmo engine is fine for race engines that get torn down after every race anyhow but NOBODY should want a street bike that needs valves adjusted every 2000 miles.

The Motoguzzi is a short-stroke 90-degree V engine bike, shaft driven and glassy smooth above 1400 rpm. The engine turns inline with the bike so that motion is changed only at the rear axle. It's everything you'd want for a basic road bike.
Thanks, Roy. I was forgetting to add the word "width."

News That @CNN Is Ignoring
Quote:
What infuriates me — and what should infuriate everyone — is that this atrocity is being ignored by CNN and other liberal “news” networks. Why is our nation so divided that the White House press secretary is denied service in a Virginia restaurant? Because the people who produce “news” are instead promoting partisan propaganda for Democrats. If CNN viewers think Trump is Hitler, nobody at CNN will tell them differently. Meanwhile a Jewish girl is murdered in Germany and they don’t care.
CNN is anti-Trump 24/7, and anything that doesn’t fit that narrative — e.g., Iraqi immigrants who rape and murder Jewish girls — is ignored.
If you’re not angry about that, you should be. I’m sitting here in my home office with the TV tuned to CNN, and my blood is boiling. They should be ashamed of themselves, but I guess if they had any sense of shame, they wouldn’t be working for CNN in the first place.
Do you have some source material for that? Or do I have to believe you on the strength on your argument, your big, blue, eyes (presumably), and overlook the fact that you are clearly biased against Obama, given that he apparently attacked the holy grail that is the NRA??
Three Glaring Examples Proving Snopes and the AP Have No Business Being Official ‘Fact Checkers’
Quote:
Snopes and the Associated Press have been given power over social media to define truth but they are often wrong and the consequences are grave.
Quote:
Case in point. Within the last month, Snopes and the Associated Press both claimed that articles we wrote were false when they clearly were not. As a result of their illegitimate claims, the Free Thought Project has watched our website traffic drop.
On June 8, Snopes attempted to claim that a story we wrote about Veterans on Patrol was false by claiming that we said this veterans group discovered a child trafficking camp in Tuscon, AZ. The only problem with this claim is that we never made it. The Free Thought Project merely reported on the activities of VOP and noted the possibility that this camp could also simply be a homeless camp. It’s why we used quotes in the title around “Child Trafficking Camp” because these were their words, not ours.
Putting words in other peoples mouth is a favorite thing for the Left to do. They say it and then blame who they are trying to minimize or call a liar. It certainly goes here.
Quote:
The Associated Press, on the other hand, did something far more sinister. The AP debunked a claim that no one said in a title, or article, or anything else for that matter. They made up a false claim and then said they debunked it. The AP then used this fake debunking to have one of our articles labeled as fake news and, yet again, thousands of readers who shared our article received a notification that they had been played and shared something false.
What bugs me the most about you lot just willy nilly making 'rebuttal' posts, saying 'Look! Obama did it too, see???',
Guess what, I do not care what bugs you. Yes Obama did do it but the reactions now are extremely hypocritical. Stock and trade for progressives. It means their protests have little to do with the children only the person that is doing it this time.

@izzythepush,
Even better, the best bikes have songs written about them.
Philadelphia: Schools Add Muslim Holidays by Cutting Jewish One
You will notice that is not a pretty printed sign like pro-Islam demonstrators have. This is a big concern with tiny if any coverage at all. You can see by the quote above the pic that the Jews were thrown right under the bus.
Quote:
Effective 2018-19, the new calendar also eliminates a day from Jewish high-holiday closures. Schools will close September 10 and be open September 11. For many years, Philadelphia closed public school for both days of Rosh Hashanah and for Yom Kippur. The reasons were practical: many public school teachers were Jewish, and so were several students. It made sense to close schools rather than find a large number of substitute teachers, or teach with several students absent.
School district spokesman Harold Whack denied that the calendar change had anything to do with Muslim holidays. Cheryl Logan, the school district’s chief of academic support, claimed that the school year was moved to give students more schooling earlier in the year.
Really?
Quote:
Logan identified Philly Eid Coalition, a consortium representing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other groups, as a stakeholder in creating the school calendar.
As a totally out of any ongoing discussion, I have been seeing a lot of advertising for a new kind of hearing aide made in Germany. It got me wondering, are hearing aides in your country covered the same as glasses and other handicapped aides? I have never understood why hearing aides aren't covered under most insurances.
Now back to whatever. In my opinion certain posters who I am sure are obvious, have ruined this thread. I keep hoping they go too far again and get kicked off for another six months to a year.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it’s Central American immigration that has them so riled up like maggots on meat.
This administration has a special way of bringing out the ugly in our country.
