Waching daily May 30 2018

if you are anything like me totally dedicated to your spiritual path you

have probably spent many hours months years doing courses going to school

attending workshops and seminars going to live events that range from the

remotest pristine jungles in the third world to unlikely in totally unexpected

sights of illumination such as Las Vegas in Miami you may have traveled all over

the world hoping to find the answers to your questions you may possibly have

spent thousands and thousands of dollars trying to understand the meaning of your

life gain knowledge of your particular purpose and finally determine what your

mission is here on earth once you believe you have understood that purpose

then the next round of doing begins to create what you believe is required of

you by God who you believe is actually interested in what you are doing to help

spread his word this is very much an oversimplified summary of my journey but

one way or another I have done it all so please allow me to share with you what I

have learned the only place I ever really needed to go was within in my

later years as I researched every possible scientific discipline for my

book the quantum keys and as I explored a variety of transformational pathways

from sacred yoga studies of body centered psychotherapy core energetics

psycho energetics and integrative health science to various healing modalities

that rely on external sources such as codes and

hallucinogenic substances and everything in between

my biggest realization has been I did not really need to do anything or go

anywhere except in words that God does not expect anything from me except just

to exist that this existence alone just like the existence of all life is a

testament to the magnificence of source creation that I am divine and can be

nothing but this that I am unconditional love and can be nothing but this dot

that I have never been separated from God because I am this I am all life and

all life exists within me I can ever not exist I am blessed beyond words to know

this truth everything else is a projection of my own consciousness based

on how my ego has perceived the world through the five physical senses just

like each one of us I was a product of my early life conditioning the tricky

thing is these projections are already built into the DNA at birth and

unbeknown to us we then co-create with others conditions that will provide the

exact scenarios to bring all the negative energy we hold in our hologram

to our attention we are all connected to the morphogen etic field of our species

and as such carry the karmic and ancestral energies of our own earlier

incarnations plus our family our ancestors our planet

no one is immune to these discordant energy templates if you are here you are

connected in nothing happens by chance in this universe and those of you who

are familiar with how energy really works we'll know we then attract to us

those circumstances that will confirm and verify our beliefs about who we

think we are in the way we think life and the world is it becomes a vicious

circle until the pain gets so bad we are forced to take a different approach and

begin our search for truth and here it is you are already a Divine Being there

is nowhere to ascend to what we must do is expand our consciousness so that we

know and experience the divinity of the real self it does not matter what you do

or what you believe your mission is the absolute greatest service you can offer

humankind in our beloved planet is to be divine and radiate your divinity once

you can do this everything else falls into place

this is your real mission then you will most automatically desire to serve

others in a way that is your unique expression and brings you the most joy

what prevents this process is all the junk that is hardwired into your system

from birth and even before incarnation Yeshua said suffer little children to

come unto me for such as the kingdom of heaven what he meant was we are all the

divine child just as he was if you are truly ready to discover the

kingdom of heaven on earth and step into the new golden age that is upon us now

it would be my greatest honor to help you uncover all that holds you back from

your greatest expression of self I will be offering a free new master class

towards the end of March that I feel sure will give you much food for thought

and an opportunity to do what you really came here to do I do hope you will be

able to join me namaste love

Why Is Unhealthy Food So Delicious? | Stoner Stories - Duration: 13:14.

- Yo, I'll tell you some shit

that'll fuck you up while we high.

- What's up, what's up?

Go ahead, DoBoy.

I'm hey, this better be good.

- Tomato a fruit.

- Nigga. - Now see

- Nigga, you knew that?

- Yeah!

- Since when?

- Since forever nigga, third grade?

Why don't they put it in fruit salad?

Why is it ostracized?

- Is every fruit in fruit salad?

- I never that, fuckin' tomatoes being a fruit.

You ain't never just see a nigga walking,

eatin' a tomato like a apple, he'll look like a psychopath.

- I'm embarrassed to say this now

but I eat tomatoes like apples.

- You're a weirdo!

- I put salt on 'em and I eat.

You know what I mean?

- No!

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.

- No, don't.

- How many years you live in Alabama though?

- You look like a nigga that will whip up

some fried green tomatoes.

(instrumental hip hop music)

- Hey, this is Stoner Stories,

with Jenkins and Jones.

I'm the Jethro Jenkins.

My buddy here, this handsome fella here...

- I'm Dragonfly Jones.

And we are high as hell right now.

- Definitely high as a motherfucker, ya feel me?

- Oh, and I am DoBoy.

aka, Dough J Simpson, you know why?

- Why's that?

- Cuz I'm killin' these hoes.

- Alright.

- The streets is here!

- What have we got?

What we smokin' over there?

- Shit, we smokin' us some of that goddamn

mama say mama sa mamakusa, right here.

- Hey, okay.

Throw back weed.

(kazoo blowing)

- So you just had that with you?

- Oh yeah. - For this.

- [Jethro] A 16 year old British sailor

is completely over the trash-ass vegetables

that lay before him.

- [Dragonfly] Smart kid.

- [DoBoy] Sounds like me.

- [Jethro] Hey man,

we got anything else to eat in this piece?

These vegetables are fucking weak!

So he gets this bright idea.

He grabs some bread, butter and sugar,

and starts experimenting.

Hansen's concoction ends up being the first donut ever made.

And as soon as he takes a bite, he says to himself,

Oh, I mighta did some shit, here.

- [DoBoy] Ha, ha! I can taste it in my mouth, too!

- [Jethro] He bakes a few more,

shares them with the crew.

And everybody starts losing their shit.

Now mind you, God is watching the whole time.

And ain't happy with what's going on.

A lot of work was put into those vegetables

Hansen just shitted on.

And the disrespect wasn't appreciated one bit.

So God pulls up on them in the form of a centaur,

titties out and everything.

Cause God's a woman,

if you didn't know.

- [DoBoy] God got titties?

- God got titties. - Got tits?

- [Jethro] What you have created today

cannot leave this boat.

It is not good for you

and has the power to ruin the earth.

And Hansen looks at her,

the donuts,

then at her again and says,

You're God!

Why don't you just make them good for us,

like you did those weak ass vegetables?

- Valid point, - Very valid.

- [Jethro] And she just yells, you've been warned,

while flying away.

And Hansen yells in the air,

You just mad 'cause I stunted on you!

(exhalation of breath)

- I was listening to the story,

and I mean I know looking at me, man,

I know it's gonna be hard to believe.

And I know, you know what I'm saying?

I'm not in the best of shape.

You know what I'm saying.

I'm not like the skinniest guy out here.

- [Jethro] Yeah, yeah.

- But that really resonates with me

when I hear somebody say,

why ain't good food delicious?

- Isn't that crazy though?

All the food we want

is food that's not good for us.

You feel me?

Like donuts.

C'mon.

Do you know how good the world would be

if donuts were healthy?

- I've had sex with donuts.

I'm not proud of it.

But I have, okay?

Just don't eat the icing on those.

(laughter)

- That was a little bit...

That was a bit...

- You can't be saying that shit!

- You ain't never heard anybody like,

nigga, I'm 'bout to kill these Brussels sprouts.

That never happened.

- Nobody's happy about the Brussels sprouts.

- You ain't never had a hankering for asparagus?

- No, never, never.

You know what I'm saying?

- Never.

That shit is community service, dawg.

You gotta get in and get out, bro.

When that shit going, playa,

you just gotta do your bid work.

You know what I'm saying.

You see, some vegetables probably get play,

but I don't know.

- When I was a kid,

cause I've been fat all my life.

I was a fat kid.

I used to have to take my vegetables

like medicine.

I used to put water in my mouth,

and then put peas, like ugh!

I hate that shit.

If delicious food is so good.

You gotta put bad food on it to make it edible.

- [Jethro] Yeah, yeah for sure.

- Who the fuck came up with chocolate covered strawberries?

- I don't know.

Delicious, delicious.

- You ain't supposed to put chocolate on a strawberry.

- You ever had fried asparagus?

- Absolutely. - Incredible.

- You know what I'm saying?

All that shit.

It'd be a bunch of fruit and shit

that we make bad,

because we can't just eat that shit.

- Food is fire, though.

- No, food is fire.

(making skeptical sounds)

(cow mooing)

- Ya'll niggas look high.

Are ya'll high?

- Oh, of course!

- This motherfucker hasn't said a word.

(laughter)

- Aw, shit dog.

- Is this nigga gonna say something?

You know, I'll tell you some shit

that'll fuck you up while we high.

- [Jethro] What's up, what's up?

- Go ahead, DoBoy.

- Hey, this better be good.

- Tomato a fruit.

- Nigga.

- Nigga, you knew that?

- Yeah!

- Since when?

- Since forever, nigga, third grade!

- Why don't they put it in fruit salad?

Why is it ostracized?

- Is every fruit in fruit salad?

No!

- Why can't they make seedless watermelons,

but not seedless pomegranates?

- Seedless poma-(mumbling)

- Like, did you ever just--

(conversation in slow motion)

- [Jethro] Spell pomegranates.

I just want to hear it, go ahead.

Spell it out, DoBoy!

I need to see it.

- P-O-M-A-M-A... - Nigga, sound like a rapper.

- Pom-a-gram-ams.

- You ever just be eating a pomegranate and be like,

man, if a nigga just took the seeds out of these.

- That thing'll be fire.

- It'd a luscious fruit.

- That's a hell of a situation.

- I thought you eat the seeds in a pomegranate.

- [DoBoy] Nah, man.

- I don't, nuh-uh!

I eat them in watermelons, though.

(muffled speech)

- So, how did a nigga make a watermelon

with no seeds, though?

Don't that ever fuck you up when you eating that shit?

- Science, bro!

Science, dawg.

Science is incredible.

We put somebody on the moon.

We can make a watermelon with no seeds.

I think that's kinda, you know...

- I never that.

Fucking tomatoes being a fruit.

You ain't never just seen a nigga walking

eating a tomato like it's an apple.

He'd a look like a psychopath.

(laughter in the back)

- I think we oughta weigh this shit out here,

though, DoBoy!

- C'mon man!

You gotta be prepared!

- Okay.

My bad, dude.

- Hey guys.

- Aw, what's up my G?

You look like Sheila E.

- Can I get that bottle?

- Dawg, it's all yours, man.

- Thanks.

- Even Stevens?

- We're good now.

- Okay, cool.

- Wait a minute, while you're here.

Why are all the unhealthy foods so delicious?

- I don't know.

I just eat chips.

- Don't you eat vegetables?

- Tomatoes.

- [Jethro] That's a fruit.

- That's a fruit, fam.

- That's a fruit.

- It's not a fruit.

- [Jethro] It's definitely a fruit.

- You guys are wrong.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Alright, man.

- The irony is that

- [Banana] Bye guys.

(laughter)

Be old like next week.

I like Mary J Blige better when she's sad.

- You think so?

- Why is that?

- Am I wrong?

- Singer though.

Am I wrong cause I want somebody to fuck her over

so she'll make a better album.

Am I wrong?

- R&B is made out of sadness, bro.

- Greatness is made out of sadness.

Listen, when Mary J Blige is heartbroken.

- But are they not better as hamburgers?

- Absolutely.

- Fruit exists.

- [DoBoy] Mm-hm.

- Is it not better as a fruit snack?

- A fruit roll up.

Fruit roll ups is fire.

- [Jethro] Fire as hell.

- I feel weird about Gushers sometimes.

Like, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- So I'm trippin' off this dude.

Did we stunt on God?

Is that what we did?

Did we stunt on God?

Can we stunt on God?

- There wasn't no pigs in the Garden of Eden.

It was all fruit based.

- [Jethro] It was all fruit

- I think we kinda was just like,

We were like, nah,

I'm gonna eat this, nigga.

(rooster crowing)

This has gotta happen.

- Do you think Hansen stunted a lot?

- [DoBoy] Hm?

- Hansen, the guy that created donuts.

- Yes, he did.

- That's a lil bit though, cuz.

- 16 years old, bro.

- And came up with donuts, bro,

himself on a line boat.

He was a regular nigga.

Then he had donuts.

You know how much your life would change?

- You know how tired you had to be.

- Yeah he was so fed up with everything.

- All the shit that was in front of him.

- At 16 years old.

- At 16 years old.

He made donuts.

- Sold 'em to his homeboys.

- I get why God would be mad.

Well do you think he'd be?

You think he made 'em unhealthy because he's just hot?

- [DoBoy] Yeah, he was like,

oh you wanna eat that.

Well do you want to be fat, nigga?

- Yeah, but I think like...

I kinda get it though, right?

Cause like

God put all this work into fuckin'

vegetables,

all this stuff here, right?

- [DoBoy] Mm-hm.

- A 16 year old in 15 minutes

created something way better

than anything else we've put in our mouth ever, bro.

- Maybe God told him to do it.

God mighta been like,

yo this is wild nasty.

This is gonna be a sin.

But niggas gotta have options.

- You think God would do that?

That sound like the devil.

- Cause don't nobody want to eat kale every day.

Am I the only nigga

that when I do meal prep

by Wednesday

I'm sick of eating chicken breasts and broccoli?

Then I have like 30 Tupperware containers

full of old chicken and broccoli

in my refrigerator.

I done ate Chipotle everyday.

- Imagine if you had Tupperware containers

of donuts, man bro.

How much better would life be, bro?

- Then why are they better warm?

- Dude.

You's about to cry, weren't you?

I felt that emotion, dawg.

Speaking of food, man, I'm hungry.

You guys hungry?

- [Dragonfly] Hell yeah.

- [Jethro] You got the munchies?

- Oh yeah.

♪ Oh yeah! ♪

(laughter)

- You know why cantaloupe is trash?

Cause they don't get

crossed over into other foods.

You ain't never ate a cantaloupe fruit roll up.

- Cantaloupe pie or nothing, right.

- Cantaloupe fruit roll up.

You don't think a nigga would be like,

- Where you from?

- I'm from here if you let me sit down.

- [DoBoy] Okay.

- So while you here,

I want a woman's perspective.

Why are unhealthy foods so delicious?

- I think healthy foods are way better than unhealthy foods.

I think they taste way better.

- Why is that?

- They do.

A apple?

Apple tastes better than candy to me.

You didn't have to do nothing to the apple

for it to taste good.

It was just born tasting good.

The candy, you gotta put it in a factory,

add all this sugar,

cut it up.

It's like crack.

This from earth.

- You ain't never had no Sour Patch Kids frozen, have you?

- No, I have not.

But grapes frozen.

- That's trash.

- Fire.

- [Woman] You're telling me frozen grapes aren't fire?

- No, they're not.

- Hold on guys.

We ain't got high, man.

I got my edible, man.

Now it's time to go to the next level.

- [Woman] Is that vegan?

- That looks like a brownie, yo.

- That's a regular brownie, bro.

- Food in general makes me high.

I'm still gonna eat both,

just to see if anything changes.

- Is it?

- I'm catching a buzz.

You feeling that?

- I feel it, I feel it.

(audible chewing)

- Mm-hm.

Pokéquarium - What animal is Mareanie and Toxapex based on? - Duration: 9:46.

Hello Pokémon fans, I'm Leaderfuzzy, and welcome to this series which I'm now calling Pokéquarium!

*Gen 3 shiny sound effect for new logo*

In this series, I observe a marine Pokémon of some sort and figure out what it is based on!

I'll do this by focusing on different sections that highlight the creature,

and help to understand the reasoning behind its inspiration.

Today, we'll be talking about the dual water / poison type Pokémon Mareanie and its evolution Toxapex,

but before we get into the meat of it, I have a story from my first playthrough of Pokémon sun

where I saw Mareanie for the first time

*Enter Wailord Boat*

As I was exploring Route 7 on Akala Island, I encountered a trainer called "Swimmer Casey"

If you know me from my lets play channel Brohive, you'll know that my real name is Casey.

When I was playing the game and first saw this, I was dumbfounded.

It's as if they put me in the game!

Well we look a bit different, but that's fine!

But that wasn't the end of it.

Swimmer Casey then threw out a Pokémon I had never seen before!

When I first saw this new Pokémon, it was clear that it was based on an interesting marine creature.

The spikes on its arms made me think it was some sort of Sea Urchin,

but the way the creature was positioned meant it could also be a drooping sea anemone or something.

Either way, I needed one on my team.

I did some research, and it turns out the only way Mareanie can be encountered

is if you fish up a Corsola, the coral Pokémon, and make it call for help at low health.

So it's clear that there's a lot going on with this Alolan Pokémon.

And I'm determined to figure out what it is.

Despite Mareanie's design being hard to identify, its behavior and physical features point to it being based solely off of a single creature.

But what real life creature could be the source for all of Mareanie's odd features?

Well it turns out it's not a sea urchin or sea anemone at all,

but a type of starfish!

This is the Crown of Thorns Starfish.

An echinoderm found in the Indo-Pacific Region,

also known as Acanthaster Planci

This starfish can range from 25 to 35 centimeters in diameter, and can have up to 21 arms.

Each one these arms are equipped with many venomous spines, which are sharp enough to easily pierce through soft surfaces.

Making it quite difficult to deal with!

Despite them looking quite stiff and rigid while flaunting their numerous spikes,

Acanthaster Planci's arms are able to easily bend and twist around the only thing it eats.

Coral.

Yep, these starfish are infamous for their voracious appetite

of one of the most beautiful sessile marine creatures.

Acanthaster Planci is very fast for a starfish, moving at 20 meters per hour.

It is also nocturnal, and each night it can eat its own body area in coral.

This adds up to consuming 13 square meters of coral a year for one starfish.

So as you can imagine, outbreaks of this species are pretty devastating to coral reefs.

Although in some cases, having a *few* Crown of Thorns around a coral reef can be beneficial,

as they usually prefer eating fast growing branching coral.

By eating these fast growing coral species, it can allow for enormous slow growing coral to increase in population

and increase the species diversity of coral in that area.

Now if you look back on Mareanie for a second,

it has one of the most interesting predator-prey relationships with another Pokémon found in the Alola region.

Like I said before, the only way to encounter a Mareanie in the wild

is to find a Corsola in the ocean and have it cry for help at low health.

This usually summons an ally Pokémon to help attack for it,

But Mareanie is different.

Instead of attacking the player, Mareanie will prey upon the low-health Corsola.

In Mareanie's Pokedex entry in Sun, it states that:

"The coral that grows on Corsola's head is as good as a five-star banquet to this Pokémon."

So finding a low health Corsola that is crying for help

essentially means that a dinner bell has rung for Mareanie,

and it'll show up to finish the job

So it's clear that Mareanie is based off of the Crowns of Thorns Starfish, if only for its diet alone,

but one aspect that gives that away more than anything is the shape of its prey.

As I mentioned before, the Crown of Thorns Starfish prefers to eat branching Coral above all else.

This is because it can easily wrap around the coral with its arms and digest it.

Knowing this, Mareanie eating Corsola is much more justified.

Just look at the shape of Corsola!

Its Coral appendages are clearly branched, making it the perfect prey for Mareanie.

Corsola's Pokedex entry in Ultra Moon also states that

its branches are stubby due to the overpopulation of Mareanie in the area.

This perfectly mirrors Crown of Thorns Starfish outbreaks in coral reefs such as the great Barrier Reef,

where they're considered a major threat.

Acanthaster Planci can turn a vibrant ecosystem

into a white mass of skeleton if their numbers are not controlled.

So, you may be wondering why predators don't just eat the crown of thorns starfish?

How can they be so out of control?

Well, those spikes on its arms aren't just there for show.

They're actually very venomous.

However, unlike other venomous predators,

the Crown of Thorns Starfish has no means of injecting its toxins.

Instead, it acts as a defense mechanism.

If anything accidently touches or steps on its spines, they may break,

causing the toxic saponins to be lost in the wounds.

In humans, this can cause a sharp, stinging pain that can last for several hours,

and can also result in nausea and swelling of tissue for a few days.

In addition, the saponins that Acanthaster Planci possesses also have an unpleasant taste.

So anything that manages to eat it likely won't want to keep it down.

Needless to say, this is a creature that should not be carelessly touched,

meaning that it is very hard for its natural predators to control its population.

The only known predator to consistently prey upon the Crown of Thorns Starfish is the Triton Snail,

which is essentially a very large sea snail.

After this Gastropod gets ahold of the Crown of Thorns,

the starfish's only hope of survival is to abandon one of its limbs to get away.

The Triton Sea Snail is such an effective predator that once the Crown of Thorns Starfish smells it in the water,

it will visibly flee.

However, the Triton Sea Snail is not often in high enough abundance to keep the Crown of Thorns population controlled.

And due to its venomous spines,

very few creatures come between it and its coral based meals.

Mareanie and its evolution Toxapex seem to boast a similar toxin,

but one difference between the Crown of Thorns Starfish and Mareanie is that

Mareanie actually has a method of Injecting its toxins.

The venomous spikes of Mareanie's evolution, Toxapex, boast similar effects as the Crown of Thorns Starfish.

Toxapex's Pokedex Entry in Moon states that:

"Those attacked by Toxapex's poison will suffer intense pain for three days and three nights, and post recovery, there will be some aftereffects."

Knowing how much damage the Crown of Thorns Starfish toxins can do,

Toxapex's signature move, Baneful Bunker,

makes a lot more sense.

It's essentially guarding itself from any predators,

and anything that happens to make contact will be heavily poisoned.

And while the Crown of Thorns' venom may not leave you with pain for 3 days and 3 nights,

It can certainly last a few hours.

However, the nausea and swelling it creates may very well last three days afterward.

Maybe those were the aftereffects that were mentioned?

In any case, the Crown of Thorns Starfish has ample toxic protection throughout its entire juvenile and adult life history stages,

but did you know they also contain toxins in their larval stages?

It was recently discovered that planktivorous fish that tried to feed on the eggs and larvae of the Crown of Thorns Starfish

Often rejected them instead of eating them.

This is likely because their eggs and larvae contain similar saponins as their adult forms,

making their early life history stages poisonous instead of venomous.

Side note:

The difference between a creature being poisonous and venomous depends on how the host contracts the toxin.

If you eat something and contract toxins, that thing is poisonous.

If a creature injects the toxins into its prey, that's venom.

So as you can see, the Crown of Thorns Starfish is fairly well protected throughout its entire life,

guarded by a variety of toxins.

Making it a creature you wouldn't want to mess with.

So now that we're done comparing Mareanie's diet and toxins to that of the Crown of Thorns Starfish,

let's take a look at the visual similarities.

Mareanie and Toxapex's colors include

light blue, purple, red, and yellow hues.

This is actually fairly accurate to the real thing, considering the Crown of Thorns Starfish can come in a variety of colors.

And surprisingly, Toxapex is closer to the real thing than Mareanie is.

Just look at these pictures! It's like looking through a much more detailed mirror!

While this starfish is known to come in a variety of blues that resemble Mareanie's arms,

very little Crown of Thorns display the pale purple hue that Mareanie has on its head,

and instead boast much deeper purples and blues.

In fact, the most accurate color these Pokémon have to the real thing come from their shiny forms!

[Shiny Mareanie and Toxapex appeared!]

While the Crown of Thorns Starfish may come in a variety of colors,

it is not often that it will display just one.

This creature usually displays many bright colors to alert predators to stay away.

However, when the crown of Thorns comes in red, it is usually mostly red,

with small hints of other colors to emphasize it,

Now, lets take a look at their arms,

er.. tentacles, or hair?

I don't know.

whatever they are, Mareanie has 10 of them,

while Toxapex is shown to have 12.

The Crown of Thorns Starfish can have up to 21 arms,

so the difference likely exists just to simplify the design.

In terms of size, Mareanie is about 1 foot tall

and Toxapex is a little over 2 feet tall.

Early Juveniles of the Crown of Thorns Starfish are often less than 2.5 centimeters long,

but this is only because they haven't found a stable source of food yet.

Once larger juveniles begin to feed on coral, they grow more rapidly than any stage in their life cycle,

at around 16 mm a month.

And once a diet of coral is established for a prolonged period,

the juvenile can mature into its adult phase,

where they can grow as big as 25 and 35 centimeters in diameter,

but some specimens have been recorded to be up to 80 centimeters long,

that's over 2 feet wide!

Knowing this, Mareanie could very well represent a late Juvenile Crown of Thorns that has just begun feeding on coral,

and is likely doing so to increase in size to adulthood.

AKA, Evolution.

The fact that Trump has to campaign in Tennessee shows this is a tough cycle for Republicans. - Duration: 4:10.

foot the bill.

Let's bring in our immigration

panel.

A founding partner and former

spokesman for Roy blunt.

Also with us Jim Kessler a

former legislative and policy

director to representative

senator Charles Schumer and

senior vice president for

policy and co-founder of third

way.

That's a lot of titles, Jim.

Thank you for joining us today.

All right.

So we heard president trump

come up with sort of a new

nickname for Nancy Pelosi last

night.

Ms-13 lover Nancy Pelosi.

Jim, how do Democrats feel

about that label?

>> Well, that's a new one.

Look, I think this shows it's

about politics.

President trump had a good day.

He attacked the Mexican

president, the Mexican

president had a good day.

Attacked Donald Trump back

about the wall.

Politics is going on.

Donald Trump went up to long

Island on ms-13.

I've been in this town for 30

years and never seen a

president go up to a district

and not invite the Democrats

who represent those districts

on a local issue.

I think we've entered the silly

season of politics and that's

what's going on right now.

This is not about --

immigration is the proxy war

about the 2018 elections.

>> Jon: Interesting, Amos,

diplomacy by Twitter.

Saying Mexico will pay for the

wall and Mexico's president

will get on and say no, sir we

aren't.

>> How did we do politics

before Twitter in this country?

That was a lot to unpack with

president trump's comments

yesterday about Nancy Pelosi.

As a Republican one thing I do

like seeing is the mention of

Nancy Pelosi.

Someone the democratic party,

house Democrats, cannot quit

and the more we talk about

Nancy Pelosi on the campaign

trail, look, I talked to the

nrcc, the campaign arm of the

house Republican today.

She is the single most

unpopular politician across the

country.

President trump mentioned Nancy

Pelosi.

We'll see more of that between

now and November.

>> Jon: We should point out it

was a campaign event designed

to boost the fortunes of Marsha

Blackburn hoping to win the

senate seat being vacated by

Bob corker.

If you're at a campaign event

and slamming Nancy Pelosi, Jim,

it is --

>> Must be 2018.

>> Jon: It can be effective,

can it not?

He won Tennessee by 60%.

>> The fact that he has to

campaign in Tennessee for a

senate race this is a tough

cycle for Republicans.

I'm pretty certain Democrats

are going to retake the house.

Tennessee is a place you

normally don't expect the

president to come to.

Let's see if the president goes

to Arizona and Nevada, where

Democrats are launching some

challenges there for some seats

that they could flip.

I don't think the president is

very popular there.

He is less popular than Nancy

Pelosi.

So this is a tough cycle for

Republicans thanks to Donald

Trump.

>> Jon: Amos, if you were

advising the president would

you send him to Arizona?

>> Who can advise the president

right now.

Say what you will about Donald

Trump, I think we can all agree

the man knows how to win

elections.

We saw that when everyone said

he had no shot of winning.

By talking about immigration,

talking about security at the

border, talking about Nancy

Pelosi, you are right, he is

ramped up and ready for 2018.

>> Jon: And having him --

>> Please come to Arizona and

Nevada, president trump.

Please campaign there and in

all the purple districts that

Democrats are trying to take.

You are welcome.

Come one, come all, come every

day.

We would love to have you there.

>> He might just do that.

I don't know, we'll see.

Obviously he turned very

popular in a lot of states that

Democrats thought he had no

chance in in 2016.

>> We'll see.

>> Jon: All right, Jim Kessler

Jordi Alba admits he is tempted by Premier League switch after Barcelona delay contract talks - Duration: 2:45.

Jordi Alba admits he is tempted by Premier League switch after Barcelona delay contract talks

Jordi Alba has admitted a move to the Premier League is tempting despite his ambition to remain at Barcelona until he retires.

Manchester United and Chelsea have both been reported to be interested in the left back, who impressed last season with 12 assists in all competitions.

It would be difficult to prise the left back away from his beloved Barca, with SPORT reporting he has made verbal commitments to remain at the Nou Camp until the day he hangs up his boots.

Despite this, though, Alba has been waiting on a new deal that was promised to him by his employers over 18 months ago.

Something his agent, Vicente Fores, has been left scratching his head over. .

'Raul Sanllehi (who joined Arsenal as head of football relations earlier this year) was still at the club when they told us not to worry, that they were going to call us to renew,' he told SPORT.

'But we are still waiting.

It's been a year and a half now.

We don't understand anything, maybe it's normal for Barca or maybe they're not happy with the performances of a player included in FIFA's XI and who is the defender with the most assists in European football.'.

It's true Alba, who has two years to run on the current deal he signed with Barca back in 2015, is one of Europe's most coveted full backs, and would naturally be welcomed with open arms in the Premier League.

Sergi Roberto, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez have all been offered new deals since Alba signed his back in 2015 and the delay could prove costly should United and Chelsea look to tempt the defender away from the La Liga champions.

Mike Parson, Missouri's next governor, is in many ways Greitens' polar opposite - Duration: 7:23.

Mike Parson, Missouri's next governor, is in many ways Greitens' polar opposite

KANSAS CITY, Mo.

- Mike Parson couldnt be much more different than the man he is replacing to become Missouris 57th governor.

Greitens is 44, born and reared near St.

Louis, and never sought public office before his successful 2016 gubernatorial campaign.

Parson is 63, grew up on a farm in rural southwest Missouri and has held elected office since 1993, including 12 years as Polk County sheriff and 11 years in the Missouri General Assembly before being elected lieutenant governor in 2016.

Greitens campaigned as an outsider, vowing to take on corrupt career politicians to clean up state government.

His brash, no-compromises campaign style carried over into his first year in office, where he often clashed with lawmakers from his own party.

Parson is the consummate insider, with long relationships with legislative leaders and a reputation as a deal maker.

Now Parson will take over, finishing out Greitens term after he resigned from office Tuesday.

I think hell be the right person.

to heal the state, said James Harris, a veteran GOP consultant who worked on Parsons campaign for lieutenant governor.

Theres a lot of raw emotions and I think he can bring the state together..

Parsons rise to the states top job puts to a close nearly a year and a half of Greitens scandals, which all culminated in recent months with a push for impeachment and two felony charges.

But while Greitens fall from grace ends one chapter of the scandal, many questions remain unanswered.

Parson and Greitens vehemently disagreed on the issue of low-income housing tax credits.

Greitens has suggested that Missouris tax credit industry has conspired to exacerbate his legal problems.

The Missouri Housing Development Commission, or MHDC, of which Greitens is a member, zeroed out the states allocation of low-income housing tax credits after the governor stacked its membership with appointees critical of the program.

At a May 17 event in Jefferson City, Greitens called those involved in Missouris tax credit industry rip-off artists and tax credit millionaires.

His attorneys suggested during a court hearing earlier this year that those in the low-income housing tax credit community may have been behind $100,000 or more in payments to an attorney representing the ex-husband of a woman with whom Greitens had an affair in 2015.

The ex-husband had secretly recorded his wife confessing the affair and making accusations of blackmail against the governor, which kicked off the series of scandals that ultimately forced Greitens from office.

Parson, who is also on the MHDC, was one of only two members to vote against zeroing out the low-income housing tax credit program, arguing that doing so will make it harder to provide housing to low-income Missourians and military veterans.

Parson is also close with Steve Tilley, a former House speaker who is registered as a lobbyist for several businesses involved in low-income housing tax credits.

Most notably, Tilley and his lobbying firm represent Sterling Bank, which is owned by businessmen with interests in low-income housing developments.

Parsons association with Tilley was purportedly the reason Parson lost his bid to become majority floor leader in the Missouri Senate in 2012.

The policy differences between Parson and Greitens dont stop at tax credits.

Greitens demonized lobbyist gifts while accepting copious amounts of anonymous contributions routed through nonprofits to obscure the sources.

Parson has a long record criticizing the corrosive effect of campaign contributions and the type of negative campaigning that became Greitens specialty, most notably in the aftermath of former state Auditor Tom Schweichs suicide.

Yet he was the only statewide elected official to accept freebies from lobbyists in 2017 - nearly $4,000 in gifts.

Largely, however, both Parson and Greitens share a philosophy that supports tax cuts, fewer regulations on businesses, tougher regulations on labor unions and strict limits on abortions.

Harris said the biggest differences between Parson and Greitens are their personalities rather than their political stances.

Greitens often appeared to relish conflict, but Harris said during his time in the legislature Parson sought consensus.

Even if he disagreed, he would talk with everyone and try to understand their thought process, Harris said.

During roughly a year and a half as lieutenant governor, a job with few constitutional responsibilities, Parsons highest profile moment came last August when he publicly called for the Senate to impeach a Democratic senator, Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who posted on Facebook that she hoped President Donald Trump was assassinated.

He called on the Senate to convene a special session to expel Chappelle-Nadal from office.

The Senate ended up voting to censure her but did not remove her from the Legislature.

Kim Kardashian's White House Visit About Alice Marie Johnson Is A Long Time Coming - Duration: 7:32.

Kim Kardashian's White House Visit About Alice Marie Johnson Is A Long Time Coming

After conducting weeks of discussions with Jared Kushner, Kim Kardashian will meet Donald Trump on Wednesday at the White House.

The purpose of the visit reportedly is to request a pardon for 62-year-old Alice Marie Johnson, who is currently serving a life sentence without parole for a first-time, nonviolent drug offense.

Kardashian has been vocal about her case on social media.

According to Vanity Fair, Kardashian has been in talks with Kushner for months.

When Kardashian arrives at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, she and her attorney are reportedly slated to discuss prison reform with Kushner before meeting with Trump and White House counsel.

Earlier this month, Kardashian told Mic that she was working to bring Johnsons case to the presidents desk, and that she would do whatever it takes to get her out of prison.

Johnson — who is a great-grandmother — has already served more than 21 years of her life sentence at a federal prison in Aliceville, Alabama, and she would only be released if Trump granted her clemency.

Her case garnered widespread attention after an October 2017 Mic video showed her talking about her case — and it was this video that pushed Kardashian to get involved.

That Kardashian plans to meet with Kushner to discuss prison reform is not surprising, as Kushner has a personal stake in the issue.

Back in 2005 and 2006, Kushners father spent time in a federal penitentiary for tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions.

During his time in the White House, Kushner has quietly but persistently advocated for improved prison conditions and prisoner rehabilitation programs, among other reforms.

Kardashian is one of many people to whom Kushner has spoken about prison reform, and according to Axios, he and Kardashian specifically discussed the possibility of a pardon for Johnson.

Kardashian, meanwhile, has not spent as much time advocating for prison reform, but she has been focused on Johnsons case for months.

After watching the Mic video, Kardashian reportedly asked her personal attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, to work on Johnsons case.

In a letter obtained by TMZ earlier this month, Johnson thanked Kardashian profusely for taking an interest in her case:.

Kardashian, you are quite literally helping to save my life and restore me to my family.

I was drowning and you have thrown me a life jacket, and given me hope that this Life jacket Im serving may one day be taken off.

Wednesdays meeting with Trump is therefore something that Kardashian is approaching with the utmost seriousness, according to Vanity Fair.

She reportedly will not be accompanied by her sisters, her publicist, or the Keeping Up with the Kardashians camera crew.

Her husband, Kanye West, will reportedly also not attend the meeting; West recently generated controversy with his apparent support for Trump.

At the end of his administration, former President Barack Obama issued a mass pardon to more than 200 people — but Johnson was not one of them, much to her surprise and disappointment.

Shortly thereafter, Johnson penned an op-ed for CNN in which she denounced the American criminal justice system, remarking that the U.S.

led the world in its incarceration rates.

Johnson also wrote that she would not give up — that she had become an ordained minister and a mentor to young women while in prison, and that she had a job secured upon her release.

Although the Trump administrations policies have largely followed a tough-on-crime stance under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Vanity Fair remarked that the president himself seemed open to clemency requests — especially those from celebrities.

Last week, for example, Trump issued a posthumous presidential pardon to Jack Johnson following an Oval Office meeting with Sylvester Stallone, Lennox Lewis, and Deontay Wilder.

For Kardashian, whose priorities reportedly changed when she came across Johnsons case, her meeting with Trump may be a chance for her to draw attention to criminal justice reform and even save someones life, as she suggested to Mic earlier this month.
