https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2017/12/29/us/ap-us-teacher-fired-nude-paintings.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Faponline-nationalLOGAN, Utah A Utah art teacher was fired amid complaints that images of classical paintings containing nudity were passed out in a classroom and seen by sixth-graders, a newspaper reported.
Mateo Rueda said he wasn't aware that a set of educational postcards from the elementary school library contained a few works depicting nudity when he handed them out during a lesson, the Herald Journal newspaper said Thursday....
Cache County deputies found Principal Jeni Buist shredding postcards at the request of the school district that contained nudity, said Sheriff Chad Jensen....
The two images seen by students were the Impressionist-era portrait "Iris Tree" by Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani and the Rococo-style partial nude "Odalisque" by 18th-century artist Francois Boucher....

538: What Is Kirsten Gillibrand Up To?
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-is-kirsten-gillibrand-up-to/In 2017, things are different. Gillibrand supports a path to citizenship, and has called Trumps border wall a hurtful, terrible policy that will never work. In 2016, she wept in an interview while discussing her former stance on guns....In the House, where she served from 2007 to 2009, she was among the least liberal members of the Democratic caucus, ranking 209th out of 241. But in the Senate, she has skewed left. In the last Congress, she was the seventh most liberal member of the 46-person Democratic caucus.
Why the Repubs will not suffer because of the tax bill
The negative effects of this bill will not be realized for seven to nine years. In the short term (2 years) most people will not see any change other than a very small reduction in their payroll tax.
When the economic crises occurs sometime between 2025 and 2027 there almost certainly will be a Democrat in the White House, and probably a Democratic controlled congress. Since the crisis will occur when the Dems are in power, the Repubs will blame them. President Warren or Biden or Sanders or whoever, will try to remind people that the economic crisis 2026 was caused by the Republican tax bill of 2017. But nine years is a long time, people have short memories and only know what is in front of them at the moment. The same people who voted for Trump will be blame the Dems for the crumbling economy and the next election will go to the Republicans.

What I can't understand is how Obama won the general election in 2008 after Hillary criticized him during the primaries.

'Guns are fine racism is not: Armed redneck lefties waging different kind of war on Fascism
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/guns-are-fine-racism-is-not-armed-redneck-lefties-are-waging-a-different-kind-of-war-on-fascism/
A well-armed organization of anti-racists are using gun culture to organize rural white voters against the administration of President Donald Trump.
Redneck Revolt is a national network of community defense projects from a broad spread of political, religious, and cultural backgrounds. It is a pro-worker, anti-racist organization that focuses on working class liberation from the oppressive systems which dominate our lives, the organizations website states. In states where it is legal to practice armed community defense, many branches choose to become John Brown Gun Clubs, training ourselves and our communities in defense and mutual aid.
Legal question: Is a special counsel the same as a special prosecutor?
The media keep referring to Mueller as a special counsel. Is there a difference?
