That nice quiet family next door re:the Hovaters, may be, for any number of reasons, a representative of the dark side of human ideas. As much as I abhor and condemn their ideology I defend their right to have a different opinion outside of the workplace and under certain conditions.
Their proselytizing actions must be away from the workplace and minor children.
When Mr. Hovater allowed the Times interview he harmed his employer's right to earn a living. He did, in the end, do the right thing by requesting that his employer let him go. (Wash Post)

From the AP.
Not seen as a moral lapse by the prevaricator. Or, maybe he can't differentiate and there is no moral compass.
The lie: "The consumer protection bureau has devastated the financial industry that is unable to serve the public.","it has been a total disaster".
The truth: Those institutions have grown by 5% over the same quarter last year. 67% of reporting institutions had year over year growth. The bureau has saved untold numbers of potential home buyers from the sub prime loan speculators that nearly broke the country in 2007-2008.

A confessed felon walks
Excerpted: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/07/09/weekinreview/the-nation-the-punishment-of-oliver-north.html
The Judge who presided over the Iran-contra trial of Oliver L. North, saved a final surprise for last by punishing Mr. North for his crimes with a sentence that included a fine, community service and probation, but no prison term.
Mr. North, the former Marine Corps lieutenant colonel and National Security Council aide, was convicted of destroying documents, accepting the gift of a $13,800 home security system and abetting the obstruction of Congress. Judge Gesell could have imposed a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and fines of $750,000. Instead, he imposed a $150,000 fine, two years of probation, a three-year suspended sentence and an order to perform 1,200 hours of community service.
At the same time, Judge Gesell's leniency seemed to deflate a campaign by Mr. North's conservative supporters for a Presidential pardon.
An appeals court later ordered Gesell to hold a special hearing to determine whether any of the witnesses at his trial had been influenced by North's congressional testimony, which he had been assured would not be used against him in court.
North's congressional testimony: " Oliver L. North conceded today that he lied to Congress after his boss sent him against his will to a session where he denied providing assistance to the Contras.
"Did you tell the truth at that meeting on Aug. 6, 1986?" defense lawyer Brendan Sullivan asked North during his second day of testimony at his criminal trial. "No," North said. "I went into the meeting not believing it would be illegal not to tell Congress the truth. "We do live in a democracy, don’t we?" a congressman asked the Marine. "We do. Thank god," North responded. "In which it is the people," the congressman continued, "not one Marine lieutenant colonel that get to decide the important policy decisions for the nation."
"I saw that idea of using the Ayatollah Khomeini’s money to support the Nicaraguan freedom fighters as a good one," North stated. "I still do. I don’t think it was wrong. I think it was a neat idea.

The unproven theory posits that corporations will use the tax savings to increase investment in plant, equipment and wage increases. This hope ignores the fact that consumer demand drives corporate investment. Consumers are the ultimate job creators.
If spare cash is the panacea for slow growth, a look at the spare cash on hand for the following sample businesses begs the tax reduction point.
Apple-$262B
Microsoft-$135B
Alphabet (Google)-$95B
Cisco-$68B
Oracle $66B
GE-$44B
Amgen-$39B

Why would the parent company of the local Alkermes facility return to its original home, Cambridge Massachusetts? The corporate tax rate in its current home, Ireland, is 12.5% which is still lower than the proposed 20% being considered by congress.
For every $1 million of income a tax savings of $75,000 would be lost.
Would any reasonable financial adviser recommend a move back to the U S from the Cayman Islands if:
The Corporate Tax Rate in Cayman Islands stands at 0 percent thus saving $200,000 for every $1 million invested.
Many large corporations don't have to move overseas because they have gamed our tax system and pay little or no taxes (o%) regardless of income.

Will sanity finally overcome the single issue and well financed pressure politics of the NRA? The NRA spent over $2 million into November's Virginia races, including a $750,000 advertising push in the last three weeks before the election. The results: The winners were an anti NRA governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General Mark Herring.
In 13 competitive races where the Democratic candidate was endorsed by a pro–gun control group and the Republican was backed by the NRA, the control groups candidate was victorious in 12.
The control groups dumped $700,000 into Virginia races as election day drew near.

Please explain to the families of the dead and wounded how armed concert goers in Las Vegas could have prevented the tragedy.
Watch, listen and weep.

If world affairs
continue on the current path we could expect, sooner rather than
later, the next synthesis in the Socratic/Marxian dialectic. Economic
power will shift from the malfunctioning democratic capitalism of the
developed nations to the command capitalism of China. The only hope
is that the equally populated and democratic India can survive the
struggle.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The western model
eliminated the communist/socialist/dictator system of the USSR and
the axis powers to create the current synthesis. Nothing but change
is constant.</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Our only hope is
that we can overcome the political blame game and regain our
bipartisan balance.</div>

<span sans-serif=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is it in Ohio's citizens best
interests to maintain a secret department manned by private business executives
that may have agendas that are not necessarily in the interest of the public at
large?</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span sans-serif=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As <i>Bloomberg Businessweek</i>
points out "Jobs Ohio" spends millions of tax payer dollars in an attempt to
bring new companies to Ohio. The citizens and their watchdog, the state auditor,
have no access to the results of that spending. The
legislature has made Jobs Ohio bullet proof from audits and public
records requests. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The overall results are rather depressing. According to
Bloomberg, Ohio's job growth rate trailed the U. S. average for 57 consecutive
months.</span></span></div>

If tax cuts are
actually made by congress in spite of near full employment:</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Buy gold because the
dollar will lose value.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Interest rates will
climb if the Federal Reserve senses an inflationary trend over 2
percent.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If the interest rate
rises so will the cost of financing the federal debt further
increasing the budget deficits.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Unless corrected,
the big boys in fund management will continue to receive rate loop
holes that you could drive a truck through. (see carried interest)</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tax cuts for
consumers, so called pump priming, in a recessionary, high
unemployment economy, is meant to stimulate growth and not
necessarily increase government revenue.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tax cuts on
businesses is meant to stimulate business growth and lower
unemployment but, as in Ohio, the business owner often pockets the
tax saving for personal purposes. This results in a reduction in tax
revenue and a reduction of essential government services.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Both Kennedy and
Reagan primed the pump but then increased taxes when the economy
overheated.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Clinton raised taxed
to balance the budget and to build a rainy day fund for Bush II</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Bush II kept his tax
cuts beyond the use by date and the debt and deficits soared and
contributed to the great crash of 2008.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Supply side, trickle
down has not worked for the mainly because those befitting the most
pocketed the saving rather than invest in new plant and equipment.
Ergo we see the great rift valley of wealth distribution we see
today.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
One upside is that
U.S. goods will be more affordable in foreign markets.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
These are personal
observations and opinions based on 50 years of interested study. I
welcome any and all counter opinions.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Here's
some real facts for those folks that insist on literal data.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 4;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Internet
information indicates that a semi-automatic rifle in the hands of an
experienced shooter could be fired at a rate of 90 rounds per minute
including reloading</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 4;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The
firing rate on bump stock equipped rifles can be as high as 800
rounds minute not including reloading.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 4;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The
hit rate increase is obvious, especially when firing into a mass of
people where accuracy is not a requirement.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Enter

Firearms Executive Director Dean Rieck said in an email to supporters
Friday that a ban</span><span style="color: #444444;">
[on bump stocks]</span><span style="color: #444444;">
would create a “slippery slope” that could further some people’s
goals to “take our guns away.”</span>
</span></span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 4;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Questions
for Mr. Rieck and our local outspoken gun industry representative
What people and by what method, other than a constitutional amendment
could anyone take away any U. S. citizens legally owned weapon? I
posit that the </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><i>some</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
people exist only in PR manuals of the NRA.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 4;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The
stock makers owe the NRA a thank you if not a cash </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">contribution</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> for
the original hint that they might support controls on the bumper.
Sales and prices for the item soared. Subsequently the gun makers
and sellers recanted their support.</span></span></div>

A child shoots himself or another child in Kentucky once every seven weeks, on average, according to a database created by the Herald-Leader using police reports, news stories, obituaries, social media and other public sources. Law-enforcement officials usually sympathize with the grieving adults who most likely would be held responsible, so cases are quietly closed.Marcus Dorsey and John Cheves mdorsey@herald-leader.com

Anti-gun lock defense:
However, anyone who thinks a gun lock makes his or her weapon or weapons safe from children or other curious usurpers is guilty of dangerous complacency. Whether you use a combination lock or a key, kids can defeat your security procedures. They can find out the combo or steal the key.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When
a new Wilmington city council and administratWilmingtonnstalled in
2016 the "no new taxes" mantra of their predecessors was
examined and put to sleep. The city's infrastructure, mainly streets,
had been deteriorating for years and city government had been kicking
the repair can down those streets for several years in fear that the
voters would through them out if they even hinted at the need for
increased revenue. The voters were even denied the opportunity to
speak for themselves on the tax issue. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When
given the chance by the present government the voters spoke and opted
for the necessary revenue needed to fix the streets and provide
essential services.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
recent federal and state governments could take a lesson from our
fair city. What have they done to fix their infrastructure, revenue
and deficit problems? The state cut revenue under the illusion that
lower taxes would increase commercial activity and actually increase
total tax revenue.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
tactic known as trickle down or supply side economics failed and the
state budget is the worse for it.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
deficit and debt burdened federal government is about to walk down a
similar path of cutting revenue to increase revenue. Yes really!</span></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Providing
essential services to the citizens costs money and must be paid for
somehow. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Hey
up there! Take a cue from the shining city of Wimington as you
contemplate our future. A well explained, fair and limited tax
increase will be accepted by the voters. Trust them.</span></span></div>

was in Office from Jan, 21 1981 until Jan 20, 1989. The deficit at
the end 1981 was $78 billion dollars. His last budget
deficit was $152 billion dollars. So during his term he had a
net increase of only double, not triple. the deficit under
Reagan reached $207 billion in 1983, two years after Reagan
passed the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981<span style="color: #ff9900;"> [3]</span> which
reduced taxes, effectively reducing tax revenue. It turned out to be
too much loss of revenue, combined with increased spending, so in
1982 the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of
1982 <span style="color: #ff9900;">[4]</span> rescinded some of
those cuts, and a few more laws in following years helped bring in
more revenue, but with increased spending, decreased the budget
deficit back to the $152 billion in 1989. Revenue doubled in Reagan’s
8 years, but so did spending, which in turn caused the doubling of
the deficit. <span style="color: #ff9900;">[5</span></span></span></span></div>

Robert E. Lee was a hero to the slave owning community and abhorrent to the
slaves in bondage.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Adolph Hitler was a hero to the fascist community and abhorrent to the
Jewish population. </div>

Each is guilty of sending thousands of young citizens to their
pointless deaths in the last stages of a lost war.</div>
