BIG CARIBBEAN NIGHTS IN HAZLETON!!!!!

WHAT IS PAULIE REALLY AFRAID OF???

One has to wonder just what Paul Manafort is up to. The fact that he has LIED to the Special Prosecutor after getting a deal is astounding. The fact that he has shared questions with Diaper Don about the investigation seems to mean one of two things.
1.He might be fishing for a pardon which this corrupt President has offered in an interview with the New York Post or
2. He might be more afraid of the Russians than Trump or Mueller. This guy was in deep with the Ukrine and Russians. Perhaps he’s trying to save his sorry life.

TRUMP SUPPORTERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

I stopped responding to the people who post stuff about how great Diaper Don is on Social Media. They are really making fools of themselves/. Anymore, I’ll just use these initials. WSOH.
Wrong side of history.

CHILDREN GET TEAR GASSED AT BORDERS BY US

Pictures and video of migrant men, women and children rushing through white clouds of tear gas fired by border agents during an incident at the southern US border have brought forth anger, debate and concern.
While the morality and necessity of the riot control agent's use is certainly a topic of debate, others have also worried about the effects the substance could have on the young migrant children who were seen in the fray.
According to experts, tear gas isn't exactly what you think it is -- and it does, in fact, have the potential to have a dangerous and long-lasting effect on children.
What exactly is tear gas? While there are a few different compounds that can be used for the purpose, the overwhelmingly common compound is called chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile, or "CS."
Tear gas is often assumed to be an irritant, like the fumes of an onion in the eyes or pepper in the nose. Recent medical research has proven otherwise, says Sven Eric Jordt, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at Duke University who specializes in sensory mechanisms
"We discovered that the chemical causes pain by activating pain receptors," Jordt says. I would consider them to be nerve agents that selectively and very potently engage pain nerves."
"The use of tear gas on children -- including infants and toddlers in diapers -- goes against evidence-based recommendations, and threatens their short and long-term health," the statement, written by AAP President Colleen A. Kraft, reads.
"Children are uniquely vulnerable to physiological effects of chemical agents. A child's smaller size, more frequent number of breaths per minute and limited cardiovascular stress response compared to adults magnifies the harm of agents such as tear gas."
The AAP also alludes to possible psychological trauma, since children who have arrived at the border "have taken harrowing journeys."
"We must make every effort not to retraumatize them," Kraft writes.
Too late…..we chose to gas children at the border instead of having a sane policy.
I remind all of you the Senate had an immigration bill passed in 2013, but REPUBLICAN legislators refused to vote on it.
All of this is on them. REPUBLICANS! (CNN Health, LuLac)

WOMEN WE LOVE NOMINATIONS OPEN

As the year winds down, we continue with preparation for our year end features. “Women We Love” has been an ongoing feature of The LuLac political Letter since 2009 or so.
Each year we get nominees for outstanding women locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. The criteria is simple, quality of work, recognition of community activities, challenging positions that give them a profile both good or bad. Also, we take into consideration if there is a “buzz” about the type of year they are having and how that impacts on themselves as well as the community.
Or they might have passed on too. That is a nomination that we'll consider too.
Nominations are currently being taken until Dec. 15th.
(Short time span this year, there have been a few, ahem, life changing events).
Contact us through The Lulac Political Letter or message me on FB with the name you might like to bring forward.

MILK AND MASCONE 40 YEARS ON
(Photos: San Francisco Chronicle)
It was a shocking Monday as San Francisco’s popular Mayo George Mascone and the first openly gay politician in the Bay Area were gunned down by Dan White, a former policeman. The story made national news and turned into best selling books, a movie and even a Broadway play.  on the bottom is a link to that day and some videos.  
It made Milk a folk hero of sorts and Mascone was honored with a center that bears his name. But that devastating day was one to remember.


And the unintended consequence of this day was the rise of on e Dianne Feinstein who succeeded George Mascone as Mayor.

MEDIA MATTERS


GEORGE JONESCU, CANADIAN LEGEND DIES

If you are an on line listener to Zoomer 740AM or pick it up at night from Toronto, the you are familiar with George Jonescu who for years did a bg band show on Sunday nights. He passed away last week and his songs and stories will be missed by an audience that reached 28 states and 5 provinces.
The website of the Adams Funeral Home in Barrie crashed yesterday, shortly after notice of the passing of George Jonescu was posted there.
Coincidence?
Probably not, say friends and fans of the popular radio personality, whose career spanned 65 years from its launch at CJIC-AM in Sault Ste. Marie.
The airwaves, Internet and social media were all buzzing yesterday with memories of Jonescu, who at age 84 was one of the longest-serving Canadian announcers still doing a regularly scheduled broadcast.
"Wow - George’s obit has crashed the Adams Funeral Home website. He was loved by so many," said Tom Aikins, who worked with Jonescu during the 1980s and 90s at Barrie's CHAY-FM (now branded as 93.1 Fresh Radio).
"I can hear his chuckling now!" added another Barrie friend, Vicki Howe.
Jonescu died suddenly at his Barrie home on Friday, just one day after he recorded his last Big Band Sunday Night broadcast for Zoomer Radio.
The 50,000-watt clear-channel station, based in Toronto and boasting North America's largest broadcast footprint reaching extensive parts of Ontario, Quebec and 28 U.S. states, announced his passing during Sunday's broadcast.
Jonescu was part of the original team that started broadcasting on the CBC's old 740 kHZ AM Toronto frequency on Jan. 8, 2001.
This past Sunday, Nov. 25, Zoomer Radio will honored Jonescu with a special commemorative edition of his weekly broadcast.
Listeners were encouraged to phone the station with their personal memories.
Meanwhile, tributes are pouring in to Zoomer Radio's Facebook page.
"I usually would retire early on Sunday nights, with my books, my 'George' music and that wonderful voice," wrote one fan.
"There must be a Big Band heaven, with George holding court there now. Sunday evenings will never be the same down here," wrote another.
"I first met him up in the Soo when I was a bat boy for the CJIC Micros, the station's softball team," recalls Lloyd Walton, now living in Muskoka. "I remember him as being very kind, to me just a kid, and very funny. CJIC radio and TV personalities were regarded as 'stars' in the community, and George was a star."
"George was one of my mentors when I first entered the world of radio and television, as a wet-behind-the-ears kid back in the early 70s, operating the board in the CJIC FM control room evenings and weekends," said John Chambers. "I learned so much from him about Big Band music and gained a true appreciation for it He always was a quick wit and could ad-lib anything on a moment's notice. A true talent and a gentleman."
Jonescu's favorite musical genres were big band, bluegrass, and gospel.

The next day, the capsule was reported to have burned up on re-entry into the atmosphere at too steep an angle.[3] According to later reports, a self-destruct system had been built to destroy the satellite if it did not re-enter at the correct time, in order to prevent it from landing outside of the Soviet Union.........The Most Rev.

For now: "But no one's been charged with actually helping the Russians."

Once they're charged, it'll be: "But no one's been found guilty."

Once they've all admitted to being, or been found to be, guilty, it'll be: "But they never should have been charged."

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

Dave, I get the idea of children being anywhere near tear gas, but you are being disingenuous.
It is your blog, it is your perogative to ignore and cherry pick any information you would like, but a reasonable person asks certain questions.
Why was tear gas used?
Was it because the Mexican authorities were over run by an enmass movement?
Where those assigned with protecting a border crossing concerned with the crowd that was moving toward them?
Was the crowd unwilling to follow procedure and protocol to cross the border?
Was there a threat to safety? Either those guarding the border (US or Mexican patrols) and/or to the crowd itself?
Do you think those that were trying to gain control are happy about what they had to do?
This was a crowd control issue and sadly children were involved in the mix.
Try putting your hatred for Trump, no matter how justified, aside and looking at the situation as a whole and maybe you would come to a different understanding of the situation, and the responsibility those have to try and one, protect the border, and two protect the crowd itself.
