You guys are perilously close to sounding like conspiracy nuts.

 

 

I bet all hotels try to keep internal problems with guests 'in house' so they can control any negative publicity. There's bound to be delays while security responds and checks out complaints. Who would believe automatic gun fire and call the police without checking first??? They don't want police and swat in tactical gear running through the halls on a wild goose chase upsetting the guests. Hind sight is always 20/20 

Makes a lot more sense than throwing a conspiracy suggestion around.

Before Eminem Gets to Lead #TheResistance, He Has a Hell of a Lot of Explaining to Do

 

Artists have influence over people who listen to their music, and if a guest spot at the BET Awards nearly a year after Election Day is what finally causes those people to see the light—well, better late than never, I guess.

 

Still, it is disingenuous to heap praise on Woke Eminem without remembering that the man has built an entire career out of trafficking gleefully in, among other things, homophobia and misogyny, neither of which he's ever quite been able to renounce even as casual expressions thereof have become, on the whole, less socially acceptable.

 

For God's sake, one of his best-known songs is a fantasy about chasing down his ex-wife and murdering her in the woods, and none of his words are excused by the fact that he rhymes them cleverly with one another and then delivers them over pretty-sick Dr. Dre beats. (He also has his own checkered history, which he has also never adequately addressed, when it comes to accusations of casual racism.)

 

If an older, more self-aware Marshall Mathers cares about what's happening in the world and wishes to use his platform for good, that is better than him... not caring about what's happening in the world, and using his platform to extoll the virtues of, say, gerbil-related foreplay. But the man has some explaining to do before we breathlessly crown him the new standard-bearer for #TheResistance, and as long as he remains silent on those other subjects that also matter, it's okay to take his righteous, fiery condemnations of Donald Trump with a grain of salt.

California declares state of emergency over deadly hepatitis A outbreak

 

California Gov. Brown declared a state of emergency Friday because of a hepatitis A outbreak that has killed at least 18 people in the state.

 

The declaration allows state health officials to buy additional doses of the hepatitis A vaccine to try to halt the outbreak, which is already the nation’s second largest in more than two decades.

 

“We have the capacity to use as much vaccine as we can get our hands on,” said Dr. Gil Chavez, state epidemiologist with the California Department of Public Health.

 

The outbreak began in San Diego’s homeless community late last year, but has since spread outside the region. Los Angeles and Santa Cruz counties are also now experiencing outbreaks.

 

So far, 581 people in California have been sickened with the liver virus, more than half of whom have ended up in the hospital. The virus is particularly dangerous, and can be fatal, for people who already have other liver diseases, such as hepatitis B or C.

 

Federal health officials said last week that, even with the ongoing efforts to slow the spread of the disease, California’s outbreak could last years.

 

“Vaccinating people at risk of exposure is the most effective tool we have to prevent the spread of hepatitis A,” said California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Karen Smith.

 

The hepatitis A shot is already required for children, but now health officials are recommending it for people who are homeless and drug users.

 

“The general population does not have an increased risk of infection at this time,” Chavez said.

 

Hepatitis A is commonly transmitted through contaminated food. The only U.S. outbreak in the last 20 years bigger than California’s occurred in Pennsylvania in 2003, when more than 900 people were infected after eating contaminated green onions at a restaurant.

 

California’s outbreak, however, is spreading from person to person, mostly among the homeless community. Unsanitary conditions make the virus more likely to infect more people because it’s also transmitted through contact with feces.

 

State health officials said they had already distributed 81,000 doses of the vaccine this year and some counties had purchased their own additional vaccines separately. But Brown’s emergency declaration allows them to be able to buy more directly from manufacturers to up their supply, Chavez said.

 

Hepatitis A is particularly hard to control because people can spread the disease before they have symptoms and even know that they have the virus. The virus itself is also highly contagious and can survive in the environment for a long time once it’s introduced.

 

Hepatitis A in California

•490 cases in San Diego County

•71 cases in Santa Cruz County

•13 cases in Los Angeles County

•7 cases elsewhere in the state

All this from a bitter, (female?) cuckolded, liar, loser, shrew wife of a rapist, failed author, whiny, unrepentant ('it's someone else's fault") political hack (and hag) cunt. Sorry to insult all the regular cunts out there but i did say that last.

How the teachings of Islam could help us prevent more sexual abuse scandals

Harvey Weinstein is just another case of a powerful man abusing women because we live in a society that lets him get away with it, but we can change that

Qasim Rashid

 

In a recent internationally broadcast lecture given live before roughly 6,000 Muslim women, the Khalifa of Islam said, “Chapter four, verse two of the Holy Quran…clarifies that women were not created out of the body of a man or from his rib. Rather, the Quran testifies to the fact that men and women were created from a single soul and are of the same kind and species.”

 

Thus, the Quran 4:2 first establishes men and women as equal beings. Chapter 4:20 then forbids men from forcing a woman to act against her will, thereby ensuring women maintain autonomy and self-determination.

 

This verse also commands men to consort with women in kindness, forbidding men from so much as thinking ill of their wives. This preempts emotional and mental abuse. Chapter 4:35 furthermore prevents violence against women by forcing men to control themselves and never resort to physically harming women – preempting physical abuse.

 

The Quran further obliges men to provide for a woman’s every financial need, while holding that anything a woman earns is hers alone – preempting financial abuse. And when it comes to the Islamic concept of Hijab, it is men who are first commanded to never gawk at women, and instead guard their private parts and chastity, regardless of how women choose to dress – pre-empting sexual abuse.

She really did fuck with Putin as sec. of state. Id be more surprised if he let her come to power without trying to stop it. Blaming others for her loss looks terrible, but her accusations carry merit. The content of the released emails were never what cost her the election. It was the unreleased emails and the Wikileaks branding of what must be in there. So, I think her story largely checks out. But since it's fun to ridicule her, burn her at the stake!

Agreed, Although Hilary might have been a talented political operative, she was/is a massive target for the right and a piss poor candidate. Dems shot themselves in the foot with an arrogance gun.
