POR UNA CABEZA (BY A HEAD)

The lyrics of the song talk about a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for the horses with his attraction to women.

A NAZI SS FAVORITE, AND AN ARGENTINIAN ONE TOO!

VIDEO:

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF SONG OBAMA DANCED TO:

Losing by a head of a noble horse  

who slackens just down the stretch  

and when it comes back it seems to say:  

don't forget brother,  

You know, you shouldn't bet. 

Losing by a head, instant violent love  

of that flirtatious and cheerful woman  

who, swearing with a smile  

a love she's lying about,  

burns in a blaze all my love. 

Losing by a head  

there was all that madness;  

her mouth in a kiss  

wipes out the sadness,  

it soothes the bitterness. 

Losing by a head  

if she forgets me,  

no matter to lose  

my life a thousand times;  

what to live for? 

Many deceptions, loosing by a head...  

I swore a thousand times not to insist again  

but if a look sways me on passing by  

her lips of fire, I want to kiss once more. 

Enough of race tracks, no more gambling,  

a photo-finish I'm not watching again,  

but if a pony looks like a sure thing on Sunday,  

I'll bet everything again, what can I do?

Taxpayers Billed $1.4 Million for Obama’s Argentina Trip

President tangoed, bashed capitalism during visit

President Barack Obama’s two-day visit to Argentina, where he tangoed and downplayed the differences between capitalism and communism, cost taxpayers nearly $1.4 million.

The president traveled to Argentina last week after his two-day stop in Cuba. The visit racked up substantial costs for hotels, transportation, and advance bathroom maintenance, according to government contracts signed by the State Department and Department of Homeland Security.

Lodging for the president and White House staff totaled $115,588, while conference rooms cost $35,584. Another contract for hotel rooms cost $31,585.

U.S. Secret Service costs associated with the trip included $120,782 for hotel rooms at the Hyatt Park in Buenos Aires and $707,801 for transportation.

Use of Marine One, the presidential helicopter, during Obama’s trip cost $44,611. Other transportation costs included contracts worth $68,597, $23,304, $4,789, $8,212, and $24,955.

Transportation costs for journalists traveling with the president as part of the White House Correspondents Association totaled $141,794.

Finally, a contract signed March 9 for “repair and maintenance for pool bathrooms” for the president’s visit to Argentina cost $50,218.

President Obama arrived in Argentina on March 23, after he posed in front of a mural of Marxist and mass murderer Che Guevara and did the wave at a baseball game in Cuba.

Contracts for Obama’s visit to Cuba have not been made public, except for one worth $18,400 for “POTUS press credentials.”

In all, taxpayers were billed $1,394,294 for the Argentina trip and press credentials in Cuba. One hotel contract was refunded, subtracting $1,926 from the total.

The president was widely criticized after he was photographed doing the tango in Buenos Aires just two days after the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium. The attacks killed 32 people, including four Americans, and wounded over 300 others.

During the visit, Obama also apologized for America’s role in Argentina’s “dirty war” in the 1970s and gave a less-than-ringing endorsement of capitalism in a speech to Argentinian youth.

“So often in the past there has been a division between left and right, between capitalists and communists or socialists, and especially in the Americas, that’s been a big debate,” the president said. “Oh, you know, you’re a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you’re some crazy communist that’s going to take away everybody’s property.”

“Those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works,” Obama said. “You don’t have to worry about whether it really fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory. You should just decide what works,” he added. “And I said this to President Castro in Cuba.”

Obama then praised the communist country’s education and health care systems.

CATHOLIC PAPAL PUPPET GOVERNOR ATTACKS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY "INQUISITION" STYLE; TRAMPLES CONSTITUTION'S 

FIRST AMENDMENT

BY HEATHER CLARK

BATON ROUGE, La. — The new governor of Louisiana plans to rescind an executive order issued by former Gov. Bobby Jindal that provided religious liberty protections to objectors of same-sex “marriage.”

Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat and Roman Catholic, plans to make the move in the “near future,” according to his press secretary, and write his own order in its place.

“Governor Edwards will issue the executive order, but it is in the drafting stage,” Shauna Sanford, told Deadline. “As far as Jindal’s religious liberty order, the governor intends to rescind it in the near future.”

Jindal, also a Roman Catholic, had issued the order last May after legislators failed to pass a religious freedom bill, the “Marriage and Conscience Act,” which was struck down in a House committee 10-2.

“[I]t is of preeminent importance that government take no adverse action against a person, wholly or partially, on the basis that such person acts in accordance with his religious belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, but that this principle not be construed to authorize any act of discrimination,” it read in part.

“All departments, commissions, boards, agencies, and political subdivisions of the state are authorized and directed to comply with the restrictions placed upon government action in the Preservation of Religious Freedom Act and, including more specifically, on the basis that such person acts in accordance with his religious belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman,” the order continued.

Jindal also explained in a statement that the executive order would “prohibit the state from denying or revoking a tax exemption, tax deduction, contract, cooperative agreement, loan, professional license, certification, accreditation, or employment on the basis the person acts in accordance with a religious belief that marriage is between one man and one woman.”

Sanford told reporters this week that Edwards doesn’t believe residents should be forced to violate their convictions, but also believes that non-discrimination clauses are needed.

“In terms of what he will instruct the Attorney General’s office to do is follow the law. The governor does not want anyone to be forced to do anything they don’t want to do, within the confines of the law,” she said.

“He is going to rescind that order, as he mentioned months ago, and he is going to issue an executive order that state contractors have a non-discrimination clause because he does not believe that it is right for anyone to be discriminated against because of their race, their gender, their sexual orientation,” Sanford explained.

As previously reported, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a religious liberty bill on Wednesday that would have provided protections to pastors and non-profit, faith-based organizations who object to same-sex nuptials.

DEMOCRATIC DONORS PLEAD GUILTY TO $33 MILLION MEDICARE FRAUD SCHEME

Five individuals who have donated to Democratic politicians pleaded guilty to a scheme that drained Medicare out of $33 million dollars.

Two physicians and three owners of hospice and home care companies based out of Detroit, Mich., were charged on June 18, 2015 as part of the largest Medicare fraud case in history for submitting fraudulent claims for home health care and hospice services that were either not provided or deemed medically unnecessary.

The elaborate operation revolved around Muhammad Tariq, Shahid Tahir, and Manawar Javed—the owners of the home health care and hospice companies—paying kickbacks and bribes to physicians for referrals to their companies that included A Plus Hospice and Palliative Care, At Home Hospice, and At Home Network Inc.

Wasseem Alam, a physician who was the top referrer to the companies, admitted he was responsible for millions in Medicare reimbursements and said he received kickbacks, along with other inducements, in exchange for those referrals.

“Alam bribed his patients into accepting services from At Home Network by providing them with medically unnecessary controlled substance prescriptions both personally and through unlicensed individuals, he admitted,” the Justice Department said. “Co-owner Tariq admitted that he knew about Alam’s controlled substances bribes to patients.  Alam also instructed others to falsify patient files to hide the fact that the prescriptions were medically unnecessary, according to his plea agreement.”

Hatem Ataya, a physician who was the second highest referrer to the At Home Network and the top referrer to At Home Hospice, also admitted to accepting kickbacks for his referrals.

“Ataya also admitted that the Tahir-associated companies would submit false billing based on his referrals for purported home health and hospice services, when, at times, these services were neither medically necessary nor provided,” the Justice Department said.

Ataya was separately charged last year in connection with the death of three patients and hit with three counts of delivering a controlled substance and another three counts of delivering a controlled substance causing death, according to WNEM TV in Flint, Michigan.

Tariq, Tahir, and Javed pleaded guilty to one count to commit health care fraud and wire fraud.

Alam and Ateya both pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud, while Alam additionally pleaded guilty to one count of structuring.

All five individuals have combined to give tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic politicians.

Shahid Tahir, one of the owners of the companies, has made 63 contributions totaling at least $33,000 to Democratic politicians such as Hillary Clinton and Reps. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) and Gary Peters (D., Mich.), among many others.

Muhammed Tariq, another owner, added five donations to Democratic politicians including the likes of John Edwards and Reps. Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) and Bobby McKenzie (D., Mich.). Tariq contributed $2,000 to Democrats throughout the years.

Manawar Javed, the third owner, made two contributions to Democrats that totaled $750.

The first physician involved in the scheme, Waseem Alam, made $3,250 worth of donations that included a $1,000 contribution to both Hillary Clinton and Rep. Stabenow.

Hatem Ateya, the second physician, made four separate donations to Democrats that came to $2,500.

Together, they have donated more than $40,000 to Democratic politicians nationwide, compared to just $2,000 to Republicans within Michigan.

The group was initially caught last year during a nationwide sweep led by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force.

The sweep resulted in charges against 243 individuals including 46 doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals for $712 million in false billings—the largest Medicare fraud bust in history.

AMERICAN STUDENT TO SUFFER "AUSCHWITZ"-LIKE TORTURE IN NORTH KOREA

AMERICAN STUDENT TO SUFFER 

"AUSCHWITZ"-LIKE TORTURE IN NORTH KOREA

BY SELWYN DUKE

SEE: http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/22889-american-student-to-suffer-auschwitz-like-torture-in-north-korea;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

American student Otto Warmbier (shown) was recently seen in a video released by North Korea, after being accused of crimes against the state, tearfully pleading for mercy. But the University of Virginia student’s request fell on deaf ears, and his captors sentenced him to 15 years hard labor. And that’s even worse than it sounds, says an ex-North Korean prisoner, as the 22-year-old will face a torturous existence under Auschwitz-like conditions.

Kang Chol-hwan knows whereof he speaks, as he’s a rare individual: someone who escaped a North Korean prison camp (in 1992). As for what awaits Warmbier, Kang “described how prisoners are woken up at 5am and are forced to work until sunset,” writes the Express. “He said: ‘We are forced to watch public executions. We are physically abused — hit and tortured. I think of it as another form of Auschwitz.’”

Warmbier’s 15-year, hard-labor sentence was handed down merely for stealing a propaganda banner. But harsh justice, and injustice, is the norm in the hermit state. In 1977, Kang was sentenced to more than 10 years punishment at a political prison in Yeoduk-gun, Hankyongnamto province, a facility technically called “DPRK guard division No. 15.” He was only 10 years old. His crime?

Being born into the wrong family.

After Kang’s grandfather was convicted of “treason,” all his family members were forced into prison camps. As Kang put it writing for NBC News in 2003, he has been told that North Korea’s rules dictate “that political prisoners should have three generations eradicated. This is in order to eradicate the seed of revolt. And the political prisoners, they should give up hope of being treated as human beings.” This certainly sheds light on why, after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s uncle was executed for treason, the regime proceeded to eliminate all his biological relatives.

Of course, since North Korea seeks to use American prisoners as bargaining chips and thus has a vested interest in their health, it’s possible Warmbier will receive better treatment than the hundreds of thousands of North Korean citizens languishing in prison camps. But even a small taste of what Kang experienced is horror-film worthy. Just consider the following from Kang’s 2003 testimonial:

Normally there are cases of execution in public [in the camps], several times a year. Before the execution they [the condemned] were tortured. They were not given food, and the joints of bones are separated, and the bones are exposed, sticking out of skin. And they become light enough to carry by hand after torture and starvation.

The other factor working in Warmbier’s favor is that his bargaining-chip status could result in his being released early after some future negotiation. Nonetheless, many have wondered what possesses certain Westerners to travel to what is certainly one of the most bizarre and despotic regimes in world history.

While it’s common today to emphasize how everyone “is just like us,” it’s easier to understand foreign cultures by viewing their peoples as “aliens,” as retired Army intelligence officer Col. Ralph Peters once put it. There’s a reason, after all, why synonyms for “foreign” are “strange” and “unknown.” And what you don’t know can hurt you.

Former Army sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins found this out the hard way. Not feeling equal to the task of fulfilling his military duties and having gotten drunk, the soldier crossed the two Koreas’ demilitarized zone one night in 1965 and surrendered to the North Koreans. He realized it was a mistake almost immediately. And he would spend four decades in the nation, and among the lessons he learned was, wrote Time in 2004, "In North Korea, when you lie they think you are telling the truth," he says, "and when you tell the truth they think you are lying. You learn real quick to say no when you mean yes, and yes when you mean no." The North Koreans, being weaned on lies, are well out of touch with reality.

In other words, it doesn’t take much for these aliens to imagine you’re an “American spy” or some other enemy of the state. Yet everyone has shortcomings with respect to grasping reality, and this brings us to Western travelers and the dangers of cultural misunderstandings.

Warmbier’s woes are reminiscent of the case of Michael Faye, the 19-year-old American “caned” (a type of flogging) in Singapore in 1994 after vandalizing some automobiles. While it created an international incident, I was struck by how someone would be brazen enough to commit such an act in a foreign country with radically different laws.

Now, a disclaimer: None of what I’m about to say implies that Warmbier deserves his fate. Punishment should fit the crime, and the North Koreans’ actions are cruel and disproportionate in the extreme. Yet there’s a lesson here for all.

It’s common for people to fall victim to projection, to ascribe their motivations, mindset, and norms — and those of their culture — onto others. In addition, what’s bred into a person has a great impact. And how are too many American youth conditioned today? They’re raised in a permissive culture, where spanking and even harsh words are often frowned upon, where many would ensconce them in bubble wrap. They may not be held accountable by their parents or teachers, and even the law may administer mere slaps on the wrist. So they’re conditioned to not expect accountability. This sometimes means they will become ever more brazen until they step over a certain line and find themselves in prison.

And it can mean something even worse when they take this mentality to an alien nation. They then may learn that not only is there accountability in the world — there’s also tyranny.

Another factor is that American youth are now immersed in revisionist history and hate-America-first dogma, as they’re told the United States is among the worst of lands. And, of course, believing this, why would they even imagine that the more “enlightened” foreign nation they’re visiting could be so much worse?

It’s much as with the thousands of Americans who went to the Soviet Union during the Great Depression and relinquished their American citizenship. They’d heard it was a "worker’s paradise" that just must be better than the big bad US of A. It was a decision only some of them would live to regret. And that’s the price of lies.

Teach your children well.

A Kentucky 8th grade exam from 1912 was donated to the Bullitt County history museum. Many of the questions feature the fundamental foundation of education that we seemed to have lost due to the dumbing down of the American education system.

The term “dumbing down” by definition is the intentional oversimplification of intellectual content within education, literature, cinema, news, video games and culture in order to relate to those unable to assimilate more sophisticated information.

The expression originated in 1933 as movie-business slang, used by motion picture screenplay writers, meaning: “[to] revise so as to appeal to those of little education or intelligence”

Today our schools supply our children with a cookie cut common core education system, which has resulted in near total loss of critical and independent thinking.

Have your children try and answer some of the questions from this test and see what kind of results you receive.

If you can not read the fine print or zoom in, here are some examples of 8th grade level testing in 1912.

Define the following terms of government: Democracy, Limited Monarchy, Absolute Monarchy, Republic. Give Examples of Each.

To what four governments are students in school subjected?

Name 5 county officers and the principal duties of each.

Give 3 duties of the president. What is meant by VETO power?

Give at least 5 rules to be observed in maintaining good health?

Define Cerebrum; Cerebellum

Name the organs of circulation.

How many parts of speech are there? Define each.
