Former President Barack Obama got a special present for his birthday this year: his very own holiday. According to NBC Chicago, on Friday Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner  signed into law a measure to designate Aug. 4 as “Barack Obama Day” across the state. The holiday will be celebrated each year on Obama’s birthday beginning in 2018.

 

The holiday will be “observed throughout the State as a day set apart to honor the 44th President of the United States of America who began his career serving the People of Illinois in both the Illinois State Senate and the United States Senate, and dedicated his life to protecting the rights of Americans and building bridges across communities,” Senate Bill 55 reads.

Gov. Rauner praised the idea behind the bill earlier this year after a previous version, which would have made the day a legal state holiday, failed. The new holiday is commemorative ONLY.

“It’s incredibly proud for Illinois that the president came from Illinois. I think it’s awesome, and I think we should celebrate it,” Rauner told reporters in February. “I don’t think it should be a formal holiday with paid, forced time off, but I think it should be a day of acknowledgment and celebration.”

SB 55 was introduced by Sen. Emil Jones III, the son of former Senate President Emil Jones, Jr., who played a major role in launching then-state Senator Obama to the U.S. Senate in 2004 and considers himself to be the former president’s political “godfather.” While several lawmakers abstained from voting on the measure, it passed both houses without a single vote against.

“Barack Obama Day” joins other commemorative holidays like Adlai Stevenson Day, Ronald Reagan Day and Jane Addams Day, for which workplaces do not close…

IT expert who halted WannaCry cyber attack arrested in Las Vegas

 

LAS VEGAS - A British IT expert who was credited with stopping a global cyber attack known as "WannaCry" was  arrested by the FBI in Las Vegas for allegedly creating and distributing malicious software designed to collect bank information.  Marcus Hutchins, also known as "Malwaretech," was arrested on his way back to Britain after spending time at an annual conference for hackers and IT professionals.  Following a two-year investigation, an indictment filed in a Wisconsin court in July alleged that Hutchins and a co-defendant, whose name was redacted, conspired to advertise the Kronos banking Trojan around July 2014 and July 2015.  Authorities said the Kronos banking Trojan, created ...

This could/will be us.....

 

Couple in  their nineties are both having problems remembering things. 

During a  check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they 

might want to start writing things down to help them remember. 

Later that  night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair 

'Want  anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.

 

'Will you  get me a bowl of ice cream?' 

'Sure.' 

 

'Don't you  think you should write it down so you can remember it?'  she 

asks. 

 

'No, I  can remember it.' 

 

'Well, I'd  like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it 

down,  so as not to forget it?' 

 

He says,  'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream  with 

strawberries.' 

 

'I'd also  like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it 

down?' she  asks. 

 

Irritated, he  says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice 

cream with  strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for  goodness sake!' 

 

Then he  toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man 

returns  from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She 

stares  at the plate for a moment. 

'Where's my  toast?'

 

 

An elderly  couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating 

the  wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen  were 

talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it 

was really great I would recommend it very highly.'  The other man said, 

'What is the name of the restaurant?' 

 

The first  man thought and thought and finally said 'what’s the name of 

that flower you  give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has 

thorns.'  'Do you mean a rose?' 'Yes, that's the one,'  replied the man. 

He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose,  what's the name of 

that restaurant we went to last  night?' 

 

 

Hospital  regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. 

However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman 

already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who 

insisted he didn't need  my help to leave the hospital. 

 

After a chat  about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to 

the  elevator. 

 

On the way down  I asked him if his wife was meeting him. 'I don't know,' 

he said. 'She's  still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her  hospital 

gown.'

 

 

A senior  citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: 'So I hear  you're 

getting married?' 'Yep!'' Do I know  her?' 'Nope!' 'This woman, is she  good 

looking?' 

'Not  really.' 

'Is she a good  cook?' 

'Nah, she can't  cook too well.' 

'Does she have lots  of money?' 

'Nope! 

Poor  as a church mouse.' 

'Well, then, is she  good in bed?' 

'I  don't know.' 

’Why in the world  do you want to marry her then?’ 

'Because she  can still drive!' 

 

 

A man was telling  his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost 

me four  thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.' 

'Really,' 

answered  the neighbor. 'What kind is it?' 

'Twelve thirty.' 

 

 

Morris, an 82  year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. 

A few days  later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a 

gorgeous  young woman on his arm. 

A couple of  days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're 

really doing  great, aren't you?' 

Morris replied,  'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and  be 

cheerful.'' 

The doctor  said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; 

be  careful.' 

 

 

One  more........

A little old  man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled 

himself  slowly, painfully, up onto a stool... After catching his breath, he  ordered a 

banana split. 

 

The waitress  asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?' 

'No,' he  replied, 'Arthritis.'

The Priest and The Pilot :-)

 

A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.

Ahead of him is a guy named Don McPherson, who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses this cool guy, 'Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven ? ' 

The guy replies, 'I'm Don McPherson, retired American Airline pilot from Palm Springs CA.'

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to, the pilot, 'Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.'

So Captain Don goes into Heaven with his robe and staff.

Next, it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, 'I am Father Bob, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last 43 years.'

Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest, 'Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom.

'Just a minute,' says the good father. 

'That man, Don, was a pilot and he gets a silken robe and golden staff and I get only cotton and wood. How can this be?

'Up here - we go by results,' says Saint Peter. 

'When you preached - people slept. 

 

When Don flew, people prayed... ~~~~~~

        WHOREHOUSE SUES LOCAL CHURCH OVER

LIGHTNING STRIKE!

 

An interesting turn of events in our Pahrump, Nevada...

Diamond D's brothel began construction on an expansion of their building to increase their ever-growing business.

 

In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the business from expanding -- with morning, afternoon, and evening prayer sessions at their church.

 

Work on Diamond D's progressed right up until the week before the grand re-opening when lightning struck the whorehouse and burned it to the ground!

After the brothel burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the power of prayer."

But late last week 'Big Jugs' Jill Diamond, the owner/madam, sued the church, the preacher and the entire congregation on the grounds that the church ...

"was ultimately responsible for the demise of her building and her business -- either through direct or indirect divine actions or means."

 

In its reply to the court, the church vehemently and vociferously denied any and all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.

 

The crusty old judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented:

 

"I don't know how the hell I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, that we now have a whorehouse owner who staunchly believes in the power of prayer....and an entire church congregation that thinks it's all bull."

Truth Comes Out Again

Armenia is chess’s perennial overachiever, & Levon Aronian, its greatest player, is a swashbuckling throwback.

In 1963, when Petrosian took on the Russian Mikhail Botvinnik for the World Championship, thousands camped out in Yerevan, watching each move relayed via telegraph to a giant demonstration board in the city’s Opera Square. Petrosian’s victory caused a “chess boom” in the country, Mikayel Andriasyan, the secretary-general of the A.C.F., told me. In recent years, when Armenia has won the Chess Olympiad, there have been similar celebrations. (Armenia did not compete at last year’s Olympiad, because it was staged in the Azerbaijani capital city, Baku: the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains unresolved.) Levon Aronian (above picture) played a key role in all of those victories: in 2004, Serzh Sargsyan, a former....

Ben Shapiro: Why The Left Protects Islam

 

34 AM ET

 

 

 "Richard Dawkins is no friend to conservatives. The atheist author has spent much of his life deriding Judaism and Christianity. He once stated, "An atheist is just somebody who feels about Yahweh the way any decent Christian feels about Thor or Baal or the golden calf." Dawkins says that even moderate religious people "make the world safe for extremists." He's far to the left on politics: He's pro-abortion rights, and a supporter of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats in Britain.

 

But he's also smart enough to recognize that radical Islam is a greater threat to human life than Christianity or Judaism. He explains: "I have criticised the appalling misogyny and homophobia of Islam, I have criticised the murdering of apostates for no crime other than their disbelief. ... Muslims themselves are the prime victims of the oppressive cruelties of Islamism."

 

Such language makes him a pariah among leftists.

 

This week, Dawkins was scheduled to speak at an event with KPFA radio in Berkeley, California. All went swimmingly — until leftists realized that Dawkins had said some untoward things about Islam. The station then canceled the event, citing his "abusive speech." It explained: "We had booked this event based entirely on his excellent new book on science, when we didn't know he had offended and hurt — in his tweets and other comments on Islam, so many people. KPFA does not endorse hurtful speech."

 

This is no shock. The same left that barred Dawkins from his Berkeley event cheered this week while Palestinian Arabs rioted over metal detectors at the Temple Mount. Those leftists proclaim that the true obstacle to peace in the Middle East isn't Palestinian Arab violence — it isn't Palestinians who stab Israeli Druz officers on the Temple Mount; or the Palestinians who invade homes and slaughter old men and women; or the Palestinians in government who cheer, honor and financially support such behavior. No, the problem is the Jews.

 

The same left that blames metal detectors for murderous assaults and Richard Dawkins for offending Islam makes excuses for radical Muslim and Women's March on Washington organizer Linda Sarsour, who has called for certain apostate Muslims to have their genitals removed, says that Zionists cannot be feminists and stands up for terrorists and terror supporters.

 

Why does the left seek to support radical Islam so ardently? Because the left believes that the quickest way to destroy Western civilization is no longer class warfare but multicultural warfare: Simply ally with groups that hate the prevailing system and work with them to take it down. Then, the left will build on the ashes of the old system. In this view, Dawkins is an opponent — how can the left recruit Muslims to fight the system if Dawkins is busy alienating them? They support the Palestinian terror regime — how can that colonialist outpost, Israel, be defeated without a little blood? They applaud Sarsour — she's an ally, so she must be backed.

 

Alliance with nefarious forces calls your own morality into question. KPFA has a lot more to answer for than Dawkins. But the left will never have to answer such questions so long as it focuses in on its common enemy: a supposedly conservative establishment that must be fought with any tool at its disposal."
