Yoyoka said, “As a drummer, I enjoy being groove, tones and try to support vocalists carefully. My dream is to be the best drummer in the world. In addition, I want to be an artist who can do anything: playing all instruments, recording music, mixing the sound and designing the CD album jackets. As I am aiming at overseas activities, I am studying English conversation. I want to become friends with people all over the world through my musical activities!”

Regarding Barack Hussein Obama:
Al-Mawsoo‘ah Al-Fiqhiyyah (The Encyclopedia of Fiqh) reads: “Muslim jurists have unanimously agreed that if a father embraces Islam and has young children, or someone who is legally like them, such as an insane child who has reached puberty, then they are considered Muslims, as a consequence of the father. The majority of Muslim scholars (Hanafis, Shaafi‘is and Hanbalis) maintained that the key factor in this regard is that either parent is Muslim, be it the mother or father; the children are then Muslims as a consequence of their Muslim parent, because Islam prevails and no other religion prevails over it, since it is the religion of Allaah which He is pleased with for His slaves. Imaam Maalik, on the other hand, said: ‘The fact that the mother or grandfather is a Muslim is irrelevant in this regard, given that the son is of the same social rank of his father and is attributed to his (father’s) tribe.
Dems & public relations firms created their own reality & the U.S. had to live in it.
Great vid showing President Trump in action to overhaul the snafu of Federal agencies. 7 minutes. Even if you only watch the first 2 minutes you will be hooked.

I think the EU is driving a stake into its own heart. The muzz invasion, bad economic policies, and scuzzy totalitarian laws will wake people up gradually. Deutsche Bank in Germany is insolvent. Their stock price is in the basement. They hold the debt of other EU countries along with a staggering amount of derivatives. Derivatives make bitcoin sound reasonable if you dig down to their true nature.

Ben Shapiro on killing off Roseanne.
The time has come for Roseanne to die.
On the show she created, of course. Originally, ABC simply cancelled Roseanne’s reboot after Barr tweeted out a racial slur against former Obama official Valerie Jarrett. Now, they’re keeping all the cast members of the reboot, but killing Roseanne off.
According to the network:
After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before. This iconic family — Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J. — grapples with parenthood, dating, an unexpected pregnancy, financial pressures, aging and in-laws in working-class America. Through it all, the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns — with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevails.
The hot rumor is that Roseanne will die of an opioid overdose, since in a recent episode, it turns out she was hiding oxycontin in her refrigerator. It would be far more appropriate for Roseanne to be shot by President Trump on Fifth Avenue.
In any case, the show is bound to be a failure. This would be like killing off Seinfeld on Seinfeld, or killing off both Will and Grace on Will & Grace – though, come to think of it, nobody watches Will & Grace anyway. Still, it will be fascinating to watch the media attempt to prop up the show now that Roseanne — the only Trump supporter involved with the show — has been ousted.

With DNA from an unknown suspect—the kind left at a crime scene in a blood spatter, under a victim’s fingernails, or on a cigarette butt—it can predict what that person looks like and create a drawing, similar to a police sketch
It may be a badly written article but I don’t think you can get from DNA to a
police sketch

Good morning. This was an interesting week with worthy contenders. But the “Douche of the Werk Award”
goes to this guy.

Oh noes, not the Spanish Inquisition.
ACOM President Ángel Más explained the dynamics behind the rise of the BDS movement in Spain:
“The BDS is a global phenomenon that is born from the modern anti-Semites’ acceptance of the improbability of defeating Israel through military confrontation or terrorist attacks. The objective is the same: the annihilation of the Jewish homeland, ‘from the river to the sea.’ But now, BDS tries to push the international community to condemn Israel as a pariah state and ostracize all those that support her: Zionists. Jews.
“The delegitimizers, as old-time bigots, mask their thuggery, presenting themselves as victims and hiding their true intentions. They appeal to public feelings against oppression or abuse and the sympathy for underdogs and suffering minorities.
“The BDS movement in Spain acquired its current virulence with the emergence of Podemos, a ‘Chavist’ far-left party financed by Venezuela and Iran. Podemos won 25% of the votes in Spain’s 2015 local elections. Before those elections, BDS was a marginal confederation of small groups focusing on academic and cultural boycotts of Israel. The core group that formed Podemos had been active in the BDS initiatives for years, and hostility against Israel was a top priority in their political agenda.
“As Podemos gained control of the municipal governments in the main Spanish cities, including Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza and Cadiz, the anti-Israel movement had access to multiple economic, human and organizational resources. When those far-left groups occupied public institutions, they didn’t distinguish between their own sectarian agenda and the government’s agenda.”
BWAHAHAH…. Anvil jokes….

This guy is favored to win.
He does not vow to improve life in Mexico, but to export Mexican citizens to US as illegals.

don’t know if you heard, but Sarah Huckabee Sanders was refused service in a restaurant yesterday because she works for Trump
this is going to become more common. Establishments will start putting flags above their doors to show their affiliations so that kindred spirits will be sure to patronize them and people they don’t want to serve stay away. The mgmt of the Mexican restaurant where Kristen Njielson was forced to leave said they were very happy about it.
Good. A restaurant that supports their paying customers being assaulted.
This won’t end well

I love learning new things, its part and parcel of who I am. Today’s new thing I learned? The dog has been mans best friend for 33,000 years.
Ok… Stop and let that sink in…
Bonnie the Beagle’s forebears have been mans best friend for so long its literally insane. I’m a dog person, no disrespect to the cat people out there, and honestly, I think of my dogs as genuine family members. But I had no idea that our family like relationship was the artifact of over 33,000 years of friendship.
If 33,000 years of constant companionship isn’t a genuine love affair, then there is no such thing as a real love affair. This goes so far beyond a mere survival strategy it does not even bear comparison.

Isn’t “Rules for Radicals” the book that Alinsky actually dedicates to Lucifer, the Bringer of Light? I have a close friend who was chosen to take the 6 month course on community organizing from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. They paid her tuition & I saw the curriculum. Straight up Communism and classics like Franz Fanon’s “The Wretched of the Earth” and Eldrich Cleaver’s “Soul on Ice” Same course that the muslim mayor of Calgary (in Alberta our chief oil Province) has on his resume.
They brainwash practicing activists who in turn brainwash ever increasing numbers of people who change the Laws that further the Marxist agenda. It’s multi level marketing meeting social engineering.

JSW Steel Announces New $500 Million Investment in Ohio…
Posted on June 22, 2018 by sundance
JSW Steel has announced an agreement to purchase Acero Junction facility in Mingo Junction, Ohio. Thanks specifically to the Trump administration economic plan, it is investing upwards of $500 million in the old Ohio steel plant that was built in 1929, instead of constructing a new facility in India.
The project is expected to generate an estimated 300 permanent jobs in a town of just 3,400 people. “We are going to revitalize that facility and that entire community,” CEO John Hritz said.

I don’t know that Robert was all that thrilled with having this vid sprung on him.
I think he was already aware of its existence (like he is with Greta Van Fleet) and at first didn’t wanna go there. As cute as she was, hearing that some 8 year old girl is as good as your best friend probably isn’t a compliment the way we and the interviewer think it would be. Robert was polite enough to rise to the occasion and finally put his glasses on and look interested. There is a BIG difference between creating something, and doing so in just in a weeks (or so) time and playing to a recording – over and over until you build the muscle memory to have it down. This is one of the first songs I learned on drums waaay the hell back when the album came out. We played it with double kicks thinking surely this is what JBH was using (like Ginger Baker of Cream etc). Having never heard the jazz players do those triplets before using a single kick, we thought JHB was ‘God’ like electric guitar players thought of Clapton. Most people weren’t aware of who played drums in any given band except Ringo and maybe Dave Clark (confusion with that one too). They were down in the mix and seated back of the stage. JBH bought ‘attitude’ and swager to this tune right from the start. ‘Good Times/Bad Times’ was just the cats meow man !! I still get goose bumps 48+ years later every time I listen to it. RIP JHB, you brought it on all right and upped the ante.
BTW, I did enjoy watching her play this, don’t get me wrong. I just cringed though watching Plant get sand bagged like that. They were like brothers.

not in my ‘hood either. Someone on twitter who lives there said they are among the NY transplants who are in the process of ruining the place. That’s precisely what happened to Vermont.

So that’s Nielsen, Sanders and Bondi. Aside from being conservative, they’re all female. I don’t know if that’s significant or not.

Even though I don’t agree with the left’s solution of taxes and regulation, I at least agree to a point that things could be better for the poor and middle class. Too many people working full time still need government assistance.
And I don’t know the solution. I know not all businesses are making huge profits. I know stockholders expect and deserve a return. But I’m afraid with the rise of the entitlement generation, the Republican Party could be in trouble if we don’t figure something out.
