John Kasich Vs Trump Vs Fox News - Keep John Out of Headline Primaries



Keep John Out of the Headlines as long as possible, Cruz, Bush and Rubio will deflect blows and stay in the headlines against Trump!

Everyone knows Fox News Hates Trump and Vice-Versa but beloved underdog John Kasich is a honed Fox News Shoe-in. People seem to forget Fox News is not just a cable network; they probably have a local station in your town with all the propaganda attached.

Kasich worked for Fox News “The Heartland with John Kasich” From 2001 through April 21, 2007

Fox News PROPAGANDA Machine is in Full Blown, Wound Up, Ready for Prime Time, over a Decade in the FIX Machine, better then Bush in Florida with Jeb putting his brother in office, disgrace to America!

John Kasich, Another Fox News Employee-Turned-Candidate, Is Running For President

John Kasich, whose long career at Fox News helped him secure the Ohio governorship, is the latest former Fox News employee to run for the Republican nomination for president. Kasich's entrance into the race makes him the fourth Republican presidential candidate -- along with Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Santorum -- that has worked for Fox News. Fox built up Kasich during his years as an employee and politician, and Kasich has pointed to his time at Fox to enhance his resumé.
Kasich is certainly among the most successful Fox News candidates. He joined the network in 2001 as a former congressman and left in 2009 to successfully run for governor. Kasich was a frequent guest host for The O'Reilly Factor and the host of the programs From The Heartland and Heroes. Fox paid Kasich $265,000 in 2008 for his work.

John Kasich Tries To Hide His Original Support For The Iraq War

(CNN)John Kasich says now that he never would have taken the United States to war in Iraq -- but the Ohio governor supported then-President George W. Bush's push for war in 2002.
In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" aired Sunday, Kasich said, "I would never have committed ourselves to Iraq."

But in November 2002, Kasich, then a former congressman, made a very different argument during an event at The Ohio State University, as the United States was gearing up for war in Iraq.

Fox News Corp is holding back its Propaganda Machine until they let loose against Trump, They also Hate Hillary with the rest of the Right Wing Media, that’s how they kept Benghazi in the headline news so long even when it was costing the country face, not to mention millions of dollars and time when they could or should have been working for Americans, not political murdering lies.

Listen to the collision of two black holes. Einstein was right.

Source: PRI org

?

More than 300 years ago, Isaac Newton said that any two objects that have mass are attracted to each other and held together by a force.

And that force is what Newton called gravity. He could calculate it, but he couldn’t explain where gravity came from.

And, says Priya Natarajan, an astrophysicist at Yale, that’s how things stayed for more than 200 years. Until Albert Einstein showed up.

"Einstein thought about gravity in a fundamentally different way," Natarajan says.

NYPD Triples The Strength Of Their Pepper Spray Because The Old Stuff Didn’t Hurt Enough



Only in the twisted minds of NYPD officials would “more powerful weapons” be a solution to prevent their officers from killing people. Sadly, this is no joke. The NYPD recently announced that they are planning to stock more powerful and potent pepper spray, and they actually claim that this would be intended to prevent police from shooting people.

The potency that has been used by the NYPD and other departments previously is already highly dangerous with a concentration of just .21% capsaicinoids. The new spray will be concentrated at .67% which will undoubtedly be more dangerous and far more painful. The NYPD has already begun rolling out the new concentration and has equipped over 19,000 officers with the new mixture.

NYPD Deputy Chief, Edward Mullen, claimed in an interview with the Daily News that a higher concentrated pepper spray would help officers subdue unruly suspects more easily.

Oregon standoff ends with last occupier surrendering

Source: RT News USA



11 Feb, 2016

The last four remaining activists occupying a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon hinterlands have surrendered, ending the 41-day standoff with local and federal authorities. One of them held out for two hours, rambling on the internet before surrendering.
David Fry of Ohio, Jeff Banta of Nevada, and Sean and Sandy Anderson of Idaho have insisted they would only surrender if the government did not press charges.

Negotiations over their surrender to the federal agents were being mediated by Nevada state assemblywoman Michelle Fiore and televangelist Franklin Graham. An activist has broadcast the talks via a YouTube live stream.

10 Reasons Why John Kasich Is As Rabidly Right-Wing as the Rest of the GOP Pres. Candidate Pack


I can’t believe this article was blocked in the Primaries forum? I guess John Kasich is not in the Primaries, Oh well.

It’s not surprising that Ohio's twitchy Republican governor, John Kasich, who just announced his candidacy for president, was picked by Fox News for its primetime 2016 candidate debate. This is the man who went to Cleveland and told Browns football fans that he rooted for their arch-rival, the Steelers. But his real loyalty has always been to the rich and powerful. In the era of the Kent State shooting, he was one of Nixon’s Stepford-clone youth.

His new allegiance is to his media mentor, Rupert Murdoch. In 2010, the creator of right-wing agi-prop and faux news gave $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association to get his bloviator elected in his first election. Kasich has returned the loyalty by pledging eternal fealty to “unnatural persons” called corporations.

After working for Murdoch and prior to being elected, Kasich spent his time hawking junk assets for the now-defunct Lehman Brothers investment bankers. He helped sell these worthless assets to the tune of $500 million into Ohio’s public retirement system, particularly the State Teacher’s pension funds. He made untold millions, which he refused to disclose, while looting the pensions of school teachers and public employees.

This is the first time I have seen MSNBC, Fox News and CNN show the other networks news clips, they must use coercion, cohorts together. Kasich worked for Fox News, then catapulted to governor. Its easier to buy governors or exploit the system with millions of dollars of advertising for the networks. Kasich has stayed under the fray while Trump, Cruz and Rubio show there worthlessness while Fox News Wonder Boy jumps up for the shiit slinging

George W. Bush enriched himself by eminent domain



GEORGE W. BUSH/TEXAS RANGERS TEMPLE OF COMMERCE/BASEBALL STADIUM, ARLINGTON,TX
I have posted a couple of comments on the various New London case threads. But I decided it was worth a diary, because these two cases in one Texas city are so illustrative of how eminent domain is abused. While these two cases (one of which involves the devil) don't prove the argument, I would submit that many if not most of the thousands of projects now using this eminent domain argument vastly overstate their public benefit and vastly understate their ability to enrich the developer. George W. Bush was added to the ownership package of the Texas Rangers to enable deals like this one.

George W. Bush Profited
One of the most famous eminent domain cases involved the Cowboys' future home of Arlington, where baseball's Texas Rangers play. At the time, future President George W. Bush was an owner.

Lawsuit Over Eminent Domain Could Snarl Bush Library Plans

DALLAS - The school favored to host the George W. Bush Presidential Library, Dallas's Southern Methodist University, may encounter a snag next week in the form of a lawsuit alleging that the school has improperly seized local homes in order to secure land for the proposed library site.

Amid increasing outrage among Republicans over the use of eminent domain and other coercive measures to obtain private property for public projects, a case in Dallas County's 134th Civil District Court, which is set to begin on Tuesday, will determine whether the university violated its legal obligations to local homeowners in an effort to secure the land currently occupied by the University Gardens condominium complex, a potential library site.
"They're taking my home," said Gary Vodicka, one of the litigants and a University Gardens owner and resident, yesterday.

The case comes as the competition for the $200 million to $300 million library, which has had some schools making plans to attract the memorial since before President Bush's election in 2000, draws to a close, and could end any time in the next six weeks.

This was close to the FUKUSHIMA reactor that has been leaking into the ocean for years now.

More News; Work goes on at ruined N-plant February 03, 2016

By Kazuki Fujisawa / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer
FUKUSHIMA NO. 1 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT — I entered the Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s power plant on Tuesday, just weeks before the fifth anniversary of the day of the start of the nuclear crisis following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

I looked around the precincts of the nuclear power plant from windows on the seventh floor — about 30 meters above the ground — of a nine-story building used as a rest facility for workers. The building was completed in May last year.

About 1,000 tanks storing more than 700,000 tons of contaminated water could be seen in the wide spaces in front of buildings accommodating reactors Nos. 1 to 4, where the decontamination and decommissioning work is being conducted.

A TEPCO official explained, “In 2013, the radiation dose was estimated to be about 25 sieverts (25 million microsieverts) per hour. Though about five years have passed, no measures have been taken.”

http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0002725274

I love the last paragraph! Though about five years have passed, no measures have been taken.”
hmmmm, no news is good news, stay under the mushroom people.
