GERMAN TV PRESENTER SPARKS DEBATE AND HATRED WITH HER SUPPORT FOR REFUGEES…Anja Reschke..…has triggered a huge online debate after calling for a public stand against the growth of racist attacks on refugees….she lambast hate-filled commentators whose language she said had helped incite arson attacks on refugee homes…. “Apparently it’s no longer embarrassing” – on the contrary, in reaction to phrases like “filthy vermin should drown in the sea”….hate tirades have led to a rise in extreme rightwing acts..…and the German Intelligence service agrees….comments to the station’s own website and on social media overwhelmingly supported Reschke…..who said she was looking forward to the comments on this comment…..the segment went viral within minutes of being broadcast….it has been viewed over 9 million times….more than 250,000 likes….20,000 comments and has been shared more than 83,000 times on Facebook.

JIMMY CARTER IS CORRECT: THE U.S. IS NO LONGER A DEMOCRACY….Thom Hatrmann interviewed Jimmy Carter last week….and at the end of the show..…he asked him his opinion about the 2010 Citizens United decision and the 2014 McCutcheon decision (look it up)….these two historic decisions (both by the five Republican judges of the Supreme Court)….enables unlimited secret money (including foreign money) now to pour into U.S. political and judicial campaigns…..Carter’s answer was this..… “It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting nominations for Presidents or being elected President. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect, and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election is over. At the present time the incumbents, Democrats and Republicans look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody that is already in Congress has a great deal more to sell.”…..as soon as he said that….he was cut off by the program!…..and his statement should’ve started the program….not end it!

42,000 POUNDS OF TRASH REMOVED FROM HAWAII HOME….Since 2004….neighbors have been complaining about the smell coming from the house….which was filled with rodents, urine, feces and mold..…finally after 11-years….the Dept. of Planning and Permitting determined the property to be a potential fire hazard…..Laura Matsuzaki….the 73-year-old owner of the place..…accumulated nearly $200,000 in fines and citations….and guess what..…they can’t find the woman….people have used her house as an illegal dump site and homeless people have lived there….she’s probably buried under all that garbage.
SNAILS AS BIG AS SHOES ARE KIND OF A PROBLEM IN FLORIDA…..Yeah but I bet the French restaurants are grinning from ear to ear….giant African snails reappeared in 2011…..and Florida has spent $10.8 million to remove over 158,000 snails..…which can grow as large as a shoe….the snails eat around 500 types of plants ….as well as the stucco on houses….they can pass on a parasitic infection which cause a rare form of meningitis….by consuming rat feces….and humans must consume the snails to get the infection….no snails in the U.S. have been known to carry the parasite..…according to the Dept. of Agriculture.
