      Be careful, someone like Topper is going ridicule the idea that organized white power groups exist in any real number. Ever since Obama's election those groups and that mindset has grown exponentially.

        The alt right isnt a joke. It's a grown up version of the skinheads with a pseudo intellectual component that is growing and has a champion now in trump. Trump's talking points come right out of its blogs. He knows what he's doing. The difference is that Trump is bringing those once obscure arguments into the mainstream.

          That's right. That's where the whole Wall idea originated. It's a white supremacist idea that makes not one ounce of f#ing sense, but Trump made it a central part of his platform.

            Malaria is booming in Venezuela again. People are going from the city to the swamps to dig for gold because of the economic collapse and then bringing malaria back to their towns.

              Protests are set for tomorrow. Here we go:
              Thursday’s rallies will test strength of the opposition’s resolve to oust President Maduro and measure how far he will to go to stay in power

Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                  Maduro has started putting up Chavez's eyes to watch people....no fascism here, citizen....move along.











                  While it looks like Don Hugo is staying abreast of what's happening in Venezuela even after his death, the currency that bears the name of his political movement is so worthless, they've taken to weighing it rather than counting it.



                  The country's currency, the bolivar has devalued so much that traders have given up counting the huge wads of banknotes handed over by their customers.

                    The crisis in Venezuela and the shortage of foreign exchange has not only affected people in Venezuela; it has also directly affected its diplomatic officials abroad.
                    The government, headed by Nicolás Maduro, owes at least two months salary to all its officials at its embassies and consulates around the world. The reason? “There is no foreign currency.”

                      Caracas is running out of cash.

                      Venezuela only has $10.5 billion in foreign reserves left, according to its most recent central bank data.

                      For rest of the year, Venezuela owes roughly $7.2 billion in outstanding debt payments.

                      In 2011, Venezuela had roughly $30 billion in reserves. In 2015, it had $20 billion. The trend can't persist much longer, but it's hard to know exactly when Venezuela will run completely out of cash.

                      According to the country's recently released 2016 financial report, about $7.7 billion of its remaining $10.5 billion of reserves is in gold. To make debt payments in the past year, Venezuela shipped gold to Switzerland.

                      The thinning reserves paint a scary financial picture as the country faces a humanitarian crisis sparked by an economic meltdown. Venezuelans are suffering massive food and medical shortages, as well as skyrocketing grocery prices.

                          Venezuela court takes over National Assembly functions

                          Fears have been raised about democracy after the National Assembly was stripped of powers.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
