More Good Cops: Flint Police Lie To People Saying They're Bringing Water Filters Then Arresting Them

Police in Flint Michigan have been preying on people’s hopes for clean water, by showing up with filters, then arresting people who have outstanding warrants.

The Genesee County Health Department declared a public health emergency for the City of Flint. They told residents that they should immediately stop drinking the city’s tap water due to the high levels of lead that had been coloring the water a ruddy orange.

It was another two months before the mayor of Flint declared a state of emergency. The mayor explained that all of this was due to the city’s pipes leaching lead, and the water was unsafe to drink for the foreseeable future.

Since then, the National Guard began distributing of bottled water to Flint residents. The state had received the bottled water a full year earlier, but they didn’t start handing them out until this January.

The following six people you may be seeing in ads, in music or on TV soon

I am a creative executive for a Hollywood production company with two subsidiary offices in Hong Kong and one soon in Shanghai.

The following are singers, actresses and dancers we are recruiting (well, I'm doing all the work).

Singer and dancer from Kunming, Yunnan


Singer, dancer and actor from Xiangyang, Hubei


Actress, model from Hefei, Anhui


Actress, model from Guangzhou, Guangdong (and a very good friend of mine for five years)


Dancer, actress, model from Suzhou, Jiangsu (and a very good friend of mine for three years)


Actor, Stuntman from Beijing (and the brother of the woman above)

We are looking to bring East and Southeast Asian culture to the world, one person, one album and one movie at a time.

Sometimes, it's fun to live in Asia.

And I can't leave out the best one of the bunch, because she agreed to marry me. 我爱你,亲爱的.

I have to wonder why this is such a Japanese-centric group

I feel weird posting Chinese things here because most everything revolves around Japan.

Langston Hughes - Kids Who Die - spoken by Danny Glover

One of my literary heroes in life and a huge inspiration for my writing. Probably one of the biggest reasons I am a writer.

I love you, Langston Hughes.

Here is an interesting thought from the last Democratic Debate



Remember, in the 1930s, Stalin was considered more of a threat to world peace than Hitler because Stalin was a communist and Hitler wasn't.

Let's just reflare up the cold war, Hillary. Your owners at the MIC need more money.

Hillary Clinton Calls Henry Kissinger a Friend, Praises His Commitment to Democracy



Hillary Clinton has written a review of Henry Kissinger's new book World Order for the Washington Post; it's mostly boilerplate, but there are a few interesting lines:

Kissinger is a friend, and I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state. He checked in with me regularly, sharing astute observations about foreign leaders and sending me written reports on his travels. Though we have often seen the world and some of our challenges quite differently, and advocated different responses now and in the past, what comes through clearly in this new book is a conviction that we, and President Obama, share: a belief in the indispensability of continued American leadership in service of a just and liberal order.

Clinton also approvingly quotes a passage in Kissinger's book about “respecting national sovereignty” and “adopting participatory and democratic systems of governance.”


No, this is not The Onion


Well, she has locked up the war criminal vote. Don't tell me it's old. She voted for the butchery in Iraq that spawned ISIS and has no problems calling this war criminal a friend.

I still don't understand how progressives can support someone with "friends" like this.

and realize that there is good in people. Normally, I have a lot to say. . .with this, I have nothing to say.

She earned her place in Heaven.

About Feeling the Bern

Principle before party is my belief. Lifelong Democrat, but I have no tolerance for blue dogs, tepid centrists, or weak Democrats that feel apologetic to Republicans. The way to win a political war is to fight the enemy using their tactics against them.
