. . . The bride went on to say during her foul-mouthed rant that all the couple needed for their grand $60K wedding was a little push. Our dream wedding amounts to 60K all included with flights to Aruba. All we asked was for a little help from our friends and family to make it happen. The 17-paragraph outburst said the pair specifically asked for cash gifts from the guests. How could we have OUR wedding that WE dreamed of without proper funding? Wed sacrificed so much and only asked each guest for around $1,500. The bride also explained she made it CLEAR. If you couldnt contribute, you werent invited to our exclusive wedding. Its a once and a lifetime [sic] party. Much to the brides dismay, she and her fiancé quickly discovered that people were not willing to pay $1,500 to attend their special day. So we sent out RSVPs and only 8 people replied and sent us the check. We were f---ing livid. How was this supposed to happen without a little help from our friends, she wrote. Desperately, we resent our invites and asked people to donate what they could. I mean seriously people, what is $1,000? What is $1500? Clearly, not a lot, she continued. We also set up a go fund me. That only got us $250. At this point we were exhausted, tired. The bride said her now-ex suggested they get married in Vegas to save on costs, but she laughed in his face. He wanted those cheap, raggedy, filthy, like Vegas weddings, she wrote. Am I some Hooch piece of f---ing trash, a hooker? My ex left the room and didnt apologize for his horrid suggestion, she wrote. The enraged woman then wrote that she took out her frustrations on her Maid of Honor who had promised her $5,000 before backing out. How could someone who offered me THOUSANDS OF F---ING DOLLARS then deny me MY promised money and then tell me to shift down my budget???? She KNOWS my f---ing DREAM was a blowout wedding. I just wanted to be a Kardashian for a day and then live my life like normal, she wrote. I called her a filthy f---ing poor excuse of a friend, and hung up. http://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/2018/08/27/bride-cancels-wedding-breaks-up-with-fianc-after-friends-and-family-refuse-to-pay-for-60g-nuptials.html

Ah, the victim card!

THE TRAGIC TRANSFORMATION OF SWEDEN Now Sveriges Television (SVT), the national public broadcaster, has released details of a new study that disproves the allegation from the political left that increases in criminality are not directly linked to mass migration. In the report by the broadcasters’ investigative team, it was revealed that 58 percent of convicted rape or attempted rape suspects were born abroad. This figure doesn’t include those of foreign origin born in Sweden. While a full 58 percent of those convicted of rape and attempted rape over the past five years were born abroad, the number rises when you only look at “attempted and completed assault violence — where the victim and the perpetrator do not know each other.” SVT also found that “more than eight out of ten convicted offenders were born in another country,” while 40 per cent of these “have been in Sweden for a year or less.” http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/24/transformation-of-sweden/

LANNY DAVIS ADMITS HE LIED TO THE MEDIA ABOUT MAJOR TRUMP TOWER REPORT Michael Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis admitted on Thursday that he erroneously confirmed a CNN report about Trump’s knowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with the Russians. CNN reported on July 27 that Cohen was prepared to tell Special Counsel Robert Mueller that the president had advance knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting. On Wednesday, Davis said that the reporting was “mixed up” and that his client had no information regarding when Trump knew about the meeting. According to the New York Post, however, Davis himself confirmed CNN’s report as an anonymous source when it was first published. Davis is now apologizing on the record for confirming something he did not know to be true. http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/24/lanny-davis-admits-false-trump-tower-report/

illegal aliens are not immigrants.

"We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country," Barack Obama Years of backlash: Obama policy on illegal immigrants' children was also slammed by critics The Obama administration actually expanded the system of detaining families – typically mothers and their minor children – after a huge surge of Central Americans along the U.S.-Mexican border in 2014. Videos and photos at the time showed children in tears, many of them still wearing dirty clothes, in detention facilities where they were kept with their families. The conditions -- which ranged from six adults and children sleeping crammed on two mattresses laid out on concrete floors, to sick minors not receiving medical care -- were documented in many news accounts and reports by human rights groups. At the time, Obama administration officials argued they had no choice but to implement policies intended to deter families from entering the U.S. illegally. Trump administration officials have made similar arguments

From your link: At last count, more than 4.9 million people held clearances, of whom over 1.4 million were cleared for access at the “Top Secret” level.

In addressing the crowd, Mr. Obama said, "When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her..." “So in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T, and the next time you get a black woman and a beagle confused, remember this: I got you,” Sharpton said proudly.

An American couple decided to bicycle around the world in an attempt to prove evil does not exist. They chose to bicycle through ISIS territory and ISIS killed them. . . Austin continued, saying that evil is a make-believe concept. I dont buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept weve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our ownits easier to dismiss an opinion as abhorrent than strive to understand it. Badness exists, sure, but even thats quite rare. By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind. No greater revelation has come from our journey than this. Unfortunately, Austin and Geoghegan discovered first-hand that evil does exist in the world when they traveled through a terrorist hotbed. The couple chose to bike through the Muslim country of Tajikistan with another group of cyclists. They met a gruesome fate when confronted by five members of ISIS. On July 29th, a car driven by the ISIS members rammed the bikers. The men exited the van and began stabbing the bikers, killing Austin and Geoghegan, along with the other bikers. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in a video featuring the killers posing with an ISIS flag and pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. According to the New York Times, the men vowed to kill the disbelievers. http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/16/couple-bikes-isis-territory/

Montreal, Québec As migrants continue to spill over the porous southern border, many politicians are calling the situation a crisis and are urging the government to do more. Some have even proposed putting up a fence along one of the longest borders in the world. The border in question, however, is not Americas border with Mexico, but Canadas with the United States. Some estimate that as many as 400 a day are crossing the 5,525 mile border between Canada and the U.S. through non-official ports of entry and with provincial elections looming, the issue is causing political ramifications. As the Trump Administration has cancelled Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several nationalities with large immigrant communities in the U.S. - notably Haitians and Salvadorans - many of those people have felt they have little option but to flee to Canada for safety. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/08/16/canada-struggling-with-illegal-border-crisis-its-own-ahead-crucial-elections.html

Years ago I played in a non H to H league that took this concept to the next level. We gave out 12 to 1 points for rushing yards, receiving yards, passing yards, points scored, and defense was either yards allowed or points allowed.

Suspected ISIS member accused of killing Iraqi police officer is captured in Sacramento, officials say Ameen allegedly arrived in Rawah, Iraq “with a caravan of ISIS vehicles” -- after the organization gained control of the town on June 21, 2014 -- and made their way to the Rawah police officer's home, officials said. The following day, multiple group members, including Ameen, allegedly shot the officer. Ameen then allegedly fired his weapon at the victim while the victim was on the ground, killing him,” officials said. The suspect is accused of being a member of ISIS and al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), as well as carrying out tasks for the groups, “including helping to plant improvised explosive devices,” according to the news release. Following the alleged incident, Ameen relocated to Sacramento from Iraq “as a purported refugee” and did not mention his alleged ties to the terrorist organizations when seeking refugee status and a green card in the U.S., officials said. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/08/15/suspected-isis-member-accused-killing-iraqi-police-officer-is-captured-in-sacramento-officials-say.html

She is talking about injustice but she has been a part of national politic for 50 years and if there is injustice she is the one at fault!

Chelsea Clinton: Legalizing Abortion Created Trillions in Economic Growth It is not a disconnected fact … that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. … The net, new entrance of women — that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973. So, I think, whatever it is that people say they care about, I think that you can connect to this issue. Of course, I would hope that they would care about our equal rights and dignity to make our own choices — but, if that is not sufficiently persuasive, hopefully, come some of these other arguments that you’ve expressed so beautifully, will be. - Chelsea Clinton speaking at a Rise Up for Roe abortion rights campaign event https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/08/14/chelsea-clinton-legalizing-abortion-created-trillions-in-economic-growth/

Despite Britain having what the BBC boasts are “some of the toughest gun laws in the world”, with law-abiding citizens barred from carrying firearms or any other articles for self-defence in England, Scotland, and Wales — even pepper spray is prohibited — gun crime surged 11 per cent in the last year, with experts warning illegal weapons are “easy” to buy from a black market. https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/08/12/gun-free-manchester-caribbean-carnival/ The United Kingdom’s surge of the previously unheard of phenomenon of acid attacks has seen an average of 15 a week over the past three years, with the vast majority taking place in the crime-struck capital, London. There were 2,602 acid attacks in Britain between January 2015 and May 2018, the equivalent of 15 a week, according to government figures accessed by The Mirror newspaper. https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/08/13/britain-suffers-15-acid-attacks-a-week-with-three-quarters-taking-place-in-london/
