Maxheader's JournalSaudi Arabia grants citizenship to humanoid robot
Is this what the yellow haired traitor really is?
https://www.rt.com/news/407825-saudi-robot-citizen-sophia/
Saudi Arabia has become the first country to grant citizenship to a robot. The lucky machine is Sophia the Humanoid, who was designed to look like Audrey Hepburn.
News of Sophia’s citizenship was announced at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
“I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction,” Sophia said in an interview with moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin. “This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.”
Sophia was created by David Hanson for Hong Kong company Hanson Robotics. Hanson is known for making human-like robots.
Sophia demonstrated her “expressive face,” showing the audience her angry and sad face. “I want to live and work with humans so I need to express the emotions to understand humans and build trust with people,” Sophia said.
When asked whether robots can be self-aware, Sophia responded. “Well, let me ask you this back, how do you know you are human?”
“I want to use my artificial intelligence to help humans live a better life,” she said. “I strive to become an empathetic robot.”
Sophia was asked about the fear that robots could take over, and responded: “You’ve been reading too much Elon Musk and watching too many Hollywood movies. Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.”
Kris Kobach echoes Donald Trump on citizenship issue in hot Kansas race
Well of course he does! The shoe polish on kohacks lips had barely
dried after meeting with the traitor when he announced his destiny
was in tracking down illegal voters...What other stance could the
little turd have? And baby...if there is anyone that really understands
the issues with children born in amercicu to a woman that wants a
better life for both..its gotta be a redneck midwestern hillbilly.
Republican candidate Kris Kobach on Wednesday echoed President Donald Trump’s assertion that Trump can deny U.S. citizenship to babies born to parents living in the country illegally, intensifying a focus on immigration in the final days of a close Kansas governor’s race.
Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state, is Trump’s biggest political ally in the state and has advised the White House on homeland security issues. He also has made pursuing tough state measures against illegal immigration a cornerstone of his campaign for governor.
But in backing Trump on whether the president can end birthright citizenship without an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Kobach broke with some fellow Republicans, including U.S House Speaker Paul Ryan. Like Trump, Kobach contradicted legal experts who see the issue as long-settled and clear under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
“That’s one of the interesting things about birthright citizenship. There are many people who are under the misimpression that the 14th Amendment commands it,” Kobach said during a Fox News television interview. “It doesn’t.”
He added that Congress could end birthright citizenship or, “The president could do it through a regulation.”
Kobach is in a toss-up race with Democrat Laura Kelly, a veteran state senator from Topeka. She has argued that combating illegal immigration requires comprehensive legislation from Congress and that Kobach’s get-tough approach would damage the state’s economy, particularly in western Kansas and when it comes to agriculture.
Kelly’s campaign declined Wednesday to comment on Kobach’s comments. But Ethan Corson, the Kansas Democratic Party’s executive director said: “As Republicans like Paul Ryan and legal scholars from across the political spectrum have stated, the president obviously has no authority to alter the Constitution by executive order.”
Patrick Miller, a University of Kansas political scientist, said Kobach needs his conservative base to turn out to defeat Kelly. He said raising birthright citizenship as an issue after it’s remained relatively neglected represents “a fresher angle” on immigration issues.
“If you want to kick life into some kind of advertising, whether you’re selling a candidate or toothpaste, having a fresh angle is sometimes good to reignite interest and engagement,” Miller said. “Kobach also likes to push the envelope on a lot of things.”
The 14th Amendment begins: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Kobach, an attorney and former law school professor, argued Wednesday on “Fox & Friends” that immigrants living in the country illegally are not under U.S. jurisdiction, allowing Trump or Congress to deny their U.S-born children automatic citizenship. But a move in line with that thinking would likely spark a legal challenge.
States ratified the 14th Amendment after the Civil War to secure U.S. citizenship for newly freed black slaves. It later was used to guarantee citizenship to all babies born on U.S. soil after court challenges, including one that led to an 1898 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump said in an interview Tuesday that he wants to end birthright citizenship and could do so with an executive order. Ryan responded in a radio interview, saying: “Well you obviously cannot do that.” That drew a tweeted rebuke from the president.
Trump’s comments also were an issue in a debate Tuesday between Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder and Democratic challenger Sharice Davids in Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District, where immigration has been a major issue. Trump, who narrowly lost the Kansas City-area district in 2016, has endorsed Yoder, the chairman of a House subcommittee on homeland security.
During the debate, neither candidate said directly whether they would support an effort by Congress to end birthright citizenship, though Davids said an executive order by Trump would “violate our Constitution.”
When asked after the debate about ending birthright citizenship, Yoder told reporters that if the U.S. secured its borders adequately, “That’s not an issue then.”
Orman treasurer resigns, endorses Kelly in Kansas governor race
Well done Greg!! Hopefully Tim will follow suit...Quickly
The campaign treasurer for independent Greg Orman resigned his position on Tuesday and endorsed Democrat Laura Kelly in the Kansas race for governor.
Tim Owens, a former Republican state senator, said it is time to unite behind Kelly, a Topeka state senator, in an effort to stop Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
“I’ve been a friend and colleague to Greg Orman for several years. I supported his run for Senate in 2014 and until today I supported his run for governor. However, this is a critical election for Kansas. We cannot risk the future of our state,” Owens said in a statement released by the Kelly campaign.

'Big Bang Theory' Credits Call Trump 'Fascist, Hate-Filled, Fear-Mongering, Demagogic'
Source: Newsbusters...
Viewers who tuned in for The Big Bang Theory’s October 25 episode “The Imitation Perturbation" were treated to more than the story arc of the week, namely the feuds surrounding couples impersonating each other for Halloween. Those who watched until the very last second may have noticed a very political "vanity card" for Chuck Lorre’s Productions that blasted President Trump as "a fascist, hate-filled, fear-mongering, demagogic, truth-shattering, autocratic golf cheater."
Placed between the finals credits and Warner Bros. logo, the vanity card remained on screen for under three seconds.

My Prayer
God, (I call you that even though I suspect thou art well beyond names and words and might actually be some sort of ineffable quantum situation), I humbly beseech thee to make thy presence known on November 6th. Demonstrate your omnipotence through us as we make ink marks on little circles in curtained booths. Of course if you, in your divine wisdom, believe a fascist, hate-filled, fear-mongering, demagogic, truth-shattering, autocratic golf cheater is what we need right now, then, you know, thy will be done. But if thou art inclined to more freedom, more love, more compassion, and just more of the good stuff thou hath been promoting in our hearts or our parietal lobes - either one, doesn’t really matter - I submissively ask that thy encourage voter turnout in that general direction. Also God, please help Bob Mueller. Guide him and make him strong, brave, wise and true. And yes, I know there must be thousands of guys named Bob Mueller, so why not help them all, just to be on the safe side. Amen.
Oh, almost forgot, remind those who collaborate with the darkness that thou art the light, and the light is not above whipping out a little Old Testament wrath. Amen again.

Man allegedly misled bank, used $200K loan on marijuana shop
Source: HeraldNetg
EVERETT — When a man applied for a Small Business Administration loan, the bank didn’t realize he reportedly was going to use the money for his marijuana business.
Now, he’s being charged with first-degree theft in Snohomish County Superior Court.
In 2014, the 40-year-old man allegedly told an Everett bank he would use the $206,900 loan for HVAC equipment. He said it would be installed in a Lyman-based storage facility that would service contractors working in water damage remediation, according to charging papers filed in court Monday.
He reportedly told everyone else, including the city of Lyman and the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board, that he would use the same building solely for marijuana production.
The defendant had good reason to want the SBA loan. Compared with other financing options, the loan offers lower down payments and longer repayment terms.
One problem: the SBA doesn’t allow loans to borrowers who make, sell or distribute products “in connection with illegal activity.” From the federal agency’s perspective, that includes marijuana.
Inspectors visited the site two years after the loan was approved. They found the defendant wasn’t providing services to water remediation contractors. He was running a business producing marijuana, with the necessary permits and licenses.
The bank informed the SBA that it would not have approved the loan if it knew the truth.
The defendant has no other criminal history. An arraignment is scheduled in November.

It may be the defenses will get better at the back end of the season after adjusting to

judge: Videotape of Kobach deposition won't be made public
Judge was a bush appointee I believe...Anyway kohacks attorney
didn't want it shown because it might hurt the little fucker during
the election run up...And that the public's interest was served
during the federal trial...I say bull s#$t!!! The public needs
to see how this jerk has hurt the voting processes in kansaas,
how he lied about the need for more stringent voter registration
laws..
The Kansas City Star reports Judge Julie Robinson's ruling on Thursday prevents the American Civil Liberties Union from releasing the tape.
The deposition includes details about Kobach's private talks with President Donald Trump and members of Congress. A transcript of the video is public.
Robinson said the public's interest was served when the deposition was viewed at a federal trial earlier this year and when the transcript was unsealed.
An attorney in Kobach's office argued the videotape could be used for attack ads in Kobach's campaign for governor.
An ACLU attorney suggested Kobach didn't want the videotape released because it detailed efforts to make it more difficult for citizens to vote.

Davis, Watkins plaster each other with 'liar' label in 2nd District debate
Sounds familiar? Flim flam man looking to serve kansans in any way that will make him a buck...
His own party calling him a con man with no integrity...Kansas has had too many kohacks and brownbutts
and liars and borderline crooks, over the last decade or so...Gonna go vote today...
Davis, a Lawrence attorney who served a dozen years in the Kansas House, said he was running for Congress to restore bipartisan work ethic to politics of Washington, D.C.
He also questioned why Watkins claimed to be a fan of Donald Trump, but didn’t vote for the GOP nominee in 2016. He said Watkins often bragged about starting a business overseas, but that didn’t match reality. He said Watkins was fond of highlighting Kansas roots, but owns two homes in Alaska and none in Kansas.
“Fellow Republicans have called my opponent, Steve Watkins, a liar, a fraud and a rank opportunist,” Davis said. “We have a broken Congress and we have no choice but to fix it. It starts by sending a proven problem solver to represent us in Washington.”
Watkins, who grew up in Topeka but spent most of the past two decades in college, the U.S. Army or working as a private contractor in overseas, told the KTWU audience in a forum sponsored by the Kansas League of Women Voters that Davis was a career politician using lies to detract from his liberal instincts.
“In the Kansas Statehouse, Paul Davis has racked up an extremely liberal voting record, perfect fit for his district in east Lawrence, but not in line with Kansas 2nd,” Watkins said. “Paul likes tax hikes, abortions and higher spending. He will do everything and anything to detract you from his voting record, and most notably, lying about mine.”
Watkins rejected published reports and Davis’ assertions that he misled people about his role as building an engineering security company in Afghanistan and Iraq
“He lies,” Watkins said.
The only candidate in the Topeka studio who didn’t portray a rival as gigantic fibber — Libertarian Party nominee Kelly Standley — did conclude neither the Republican nor Democratic parties could be trusted to properly represent Kansans.
“The problem we have today is that current representatives choose to represent their party instead of their constituents. It is time to clean the muck out of the swamp,” Standley said.
Voters in the district decide Nov. 6 on a replacement for U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, a five-term Republican who didn’t seek re-election.

Trump demonstrators uneasy with fencing installed at Expocentre
?Q=75&maxW=300&maxH=300
A measure of how ill the country is of cheetoz and its brand of sick
campaigning lies and distortions. I'd like to go just to see the hard
wired donnybots frothing at the mouth just to get a glimpse of their
hero. I've seen them at state fairs when brownbutt was around..
positively sick in their admiration for people that are stealing and
lying to them. Such a polar opposite to progressives...
A temporary fence of the type used to restrain livestock went up Thursday on the east side of the Kansas Expocentre along areas designated for demonstrators at the weekend rally with President Donald Trump.
Trump is scheduled to speak at 6:30 p.m. Saturday to thousands at a Make America Great Again rally in Landon Arena, which was named for 1936 Republican presidential nominee Alf Landon. Trump’s visit is part of a national tour to promote Republican candidates heading into mid-term elections in November.
Preparations for the event include logistics of handling people intent on protesting or celebrating outside the arena. That included installation of gating parallel to the sidewalk on a two-block stretch of S.W. Topeka Boulevard.
The enclosure caught two people planning to protest Trump’s policies off guard. Both questioned the necessity of a barrier.
“Only a year ago at a right-wing rally, someone was murdered by a car driver,” said the Rev. Sarah Oglesby-Dunegan. “We now have the potential of hundreds of people being trapped between a wall and high-density traffic. Who thought this was a good idea and approved it?”
