As the old saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t teach simple math to Bernie Sanders.” A saying which is particularly apt in light of the Vermont senator’s statement that he will soon be announcing a new federal jobs program which would guarantee a $15/hour job and health benefits to every adult American who “wants or needs one.”
Symantec is ending a partnership deal with the National Rifle Association amid backlash against it after the recent school shooting in Parkland, Fla.
The cybersecurity giant said on Twitter that it “has stopped its discount program with the National Rifle Association.”
Thanks to member Nick Benipayo for sharing this in response to our alert dated March 2, 2018 item 12:

NRA supporters have taken to blowing up their expensive Yeti coolers on-camera in protest of the company’s announcement it has ended a discount program for National Rifle Association members.
Yeti coolers used by hunters can cost as much as $1,300 each, but some of their social media-savvy customers are taking the #YetiCoolerChallenge and blowing them up after Yeti severed ties with NRA groups, apparently, in response to control activists’ protests.
In the video clip below, NRA supporter Bryan Atkinson shoots his Yeti cooler filled with 22 pounds of Tannerite target explosives.

Buying a home is one of the most important investments you can make, keeping you insulated from other financial losses. Once you have this asset, you don’t need to worry about fluctuating bank interest rates or Wall Street crashes. House prices in North Carolina rose almost 7% last year and this upward trend is expected for many years to come. A 7% annual interest rate on something that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars is huge. So how can you get ahead in a competitive housing market and secure an affordable mortgage?
Get a Pre-approved Loan
If you don’t have the cash available to buy a home outright, then you need to do everything you can to get your mortgage pre-approved before you go house hunting. North Carolina has a median home value of $167,000 so it is unlikely that you have the cash to hand. However, there are steps you can take to secure a loan.
Start by paying off all outstanding debts. This will boost your credit rating and increase your chances of being accepted for a loan. It will also lower interest rates, making you dream home more affordable.
Selecting an Area
House prices in North Carolina vary wildly depending on the location and so will other associated costs. For example, getting insurance quotes in certain areas will allow you to see where you can save money. Look for a property with good security in a safe area for the biggest savings. So don’t just research the price of the home. Consider closing costs, insurance and taxes. This will help you to find the best deal to suit your requirements. No home is perfect, but find the right balance of different factors to find the property closest to your ideal.
Choosing a Real Estate Agent
Estate agents are there to provide the best deal for the buyer. Choosing the right realtor means finding someone who shares your vision for a property. Pick someone with a track record of getting discounts on great homes and it will be well worth the agency fees.
Owning a home is an important sign of financial success in modern America. It means that no matter how your other savings are doing, you always have a back up. This offers freedom through financial security and can help lead to a fulfilling and stable life.
We are a band of brothers
And native to the soil,
Fighting for the property
We gained by honest toil;
And when our rights were threatened,
The cry rose near and far–
“Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!”
CHORUS:
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.
As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers
Both kind were we and just;
But now, when Northern treachery
Attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.
CHORUS
First gallant South Carolina
Nobly made the stand,
Then came Alabama,
Who took her by the hand.
Next quickly Mississippi,
Georgia and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.
CHORUS
Ye men of valor, gather round
The banner of the right;
Texas and fair Louisiana
Join us in the fight.
Davis, our loved president,
And Stephens statesmen are;
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.
CHORUS
And here’s to old Virginia–
The Old Dominion State–
Who with the young Confederacy
At length has linked her fate;
Impelled by her example,
Now other states prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.
CHORUS
Then cheer, boys, cheer;
Raise the joyous shout,
For Arkansas and North Carolina
Now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer
For Tennessee be given,
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag
Has grown to be eleven.
CHORUS
Then here’s to our Confederacy,
Strong are we and brave;
Like patriots of old we’ll fight
Our heritage to save.
And rather than submit to shame,
To die we would prefer;
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.
CHORUS
WikiLeaks has hit back against a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), announcing over Twitter that they are seeking donations for a counter-suit, noting “We’ve never lost a publishing case and discovery is going to be amazing fun,” along with a link which people can use to donate to the organization.
The Democrats are really that stupid. The filing of this court case will force them to produce documents for the defense which will incriminate the Deep State. The real question: are the people this stupid? The Democrat Party is now bankrupt and on the edge of indictments (over 24,000 sealed indictments are now pending). What will caged animals with nothing left to lose be capable of? We are living in a very dangerous time and most people are not prepared for the immediate future.
