From the Desk of Donald Trump: “I have a deal for the President that he can’t refuse”

American billionaire, Donald Trump, today offered Barack Obama a check for $5 million to his choice of charities, if he would show his college and passport records.

“We know very little about our president… President Obama is the least transparent president in the history of this country” Trump stated. “I have a deal for the president.  If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications, and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give to a charity of his choice – inner city children in Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS research – anything he wants – a check immediately for $5 million,”

Trump states he wants to end the question….. and anger of “many Americans”, presumably about the status of Barack Obama’s eligibility for Presidency.

Giant Phallic Symbol/Statue in works for San Francisco

 

San Francisco Transbay Tower Base

 

San Francisco Transbay Tower

The Transbay Tower will be the tallest building/phallic symbol in San Francisco after receiving final approval by the Planning Commission.

The latest design adds nighttime lighting, allowing it to be a more distinct skyline feature of the city, particularly in the dark.

Sfist.com, a website focused on anything San Francisco, states the obvious.  The building’s latest design tweaks, when viewed from a distance look… like a vibrator.  When viewing the base, it looks like something else that most would describe officially and politely as phallic or phallus related.

Fred Clarke the architect with Pelli Clarke Pelli, described wanting to create something (buddhist)… or “Zen-like” simple.

Construction would start in 2013 if the developer is able to purchase the land from the Transbay Joint Powers Authority.

Hillary talks to the dead…. spirits? Bill Clinton makes astonishing claim

This week, former Democratic President Bill Clinton, while speaking at a ceremony dedicating the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park in New York City, claimed that Hillary Clinton “was known to commune” with Eleanor Roosevelt.

Bill Clinton also indicated that the spirit “Eleanor Roosevelt” had spoken with Hillary Clinton to tell him a message, just this week.

This is not a new revelation.  Bob Woodward in 1996, in his book “The Choice”, revealed that Hillary regularly participated in imaginary discussions with Eleanor Roosevelt as well as Mahatma Gandhi, as a therapeutic exercise.

Ex Libya Security Officer to State Department “For Me The Taliban is on the Inside…”


“For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building”.  Eric Nordstrom, the former Libyan regional security officer for the State Department, said in his testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday regarding the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya.

It’s not the hardships, it’s not the gunfire, it’s not the threats. It’s dealing and fighting against the people, programs and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me… For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building.” 

Both Eric Nordstrom and Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, former head of a 16-member U.S. military team that helped protect the embassy in Tripoli, in testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee described their frustrations in performing their jobs.

“We were fighting a losing battle. We couldn’t even keep what we had,” stated Wood in relation to having asked for further security forces to defend the Libyan Embassy before it was attacked on September 11, 2012.

California Muni Bankruptcies, A Spreading ‘Disease’

“In California, we have a disease, and the disease is spreading,” spoken by David Kotok, the chief investment officer with Cumberland Advisors at the State & Municipal Finance Conference which was hosted by Bloomberg Link in New York.

Kotok is referring to municipal bankruptcies in California.  Three cities have filed and a fourth city, Atwater, is preparing a vote on whether or not to declare a fiscal emergency.  That would allow bankruptcy to follow.  They would join other California cities such as Stockton, San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes who have already filed for bankruptcy.

In August, Moody’s Investor Service indicated that cities in California may be looking at “across-the-board rating revisions”.

According to David Crane who is a public policy speaker with Stanford University and a prior special advisor to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, these bankruptcies are “largely a self-inflicted wound… Nobody forced legislators and council members to make promises — unfunded promises amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars — to their benefit, to their political benefit.”

Iran’s Currency Crashing

Signs of public dissatisfaction are appearing in Iran with protests in central Tehran today.  Iran’s currency has lost more than 50% of its value in the last week.

Police in the hundreds with anti-riot gear swarmed the capital around the currency exchange district looking for illegal money changers and closing other legally operating venues down, according to witnesses reporting to AFP (Agence France-Presse).

According to the witnesses, many were arrested, smoke was seen in at least two places and stones where being thrown at police.

Ahmadinejad however, blames the sanctions imposed by the USA and European Union for the freefall of their currency but remains defiant and committed to Iran’s nuclear program “We are not a people to retreat on the nuclear issue… If somebody thinks they can pressure Iran, they are certainly wrong and they must correct their behaviour,”.

Anti ‘Gay Conversion Therapy’ Backers Seek More Regions

Currently this ban applies only to therapists who are licensed and not to ministers or other lay people.

Some Christian legal groups are planning on fighting this in federal court.
