  1. How many Syrian refugees are being welcomed in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Malaysia, Egypt, ...

    Jordan was but it stopped. Jordan took refugees for 5 straight years and they are not lying. I had a friend from my university in Texas who went there to help refugees as part of an intern and research probject for educational psychology.

  2. So this is just a reversal of the changes made in 2008? Sorry, I couldn't read the entire article as I didn't feel like downloading the Yahoo app, so I was just going on the final paragraph in the excerpt.

    The primary driver, according to Trussell, is the reinstitution of work rules by states. During the financial crisis, the federal government allowed states to waive requirements regarding employment for SNAP recipients as the unemployment rate soared.

    Recently, however, this policy has changed as the unemployment rate has now dropped to below 5% for the country.

    "In 2009, the federal stimulus bill allowed states to waive the work requirement, which limited out-of-work adults to three months of SNAP benefits before they must find a job, in areas with high unemployment," the note said. "These waivers continue to end in many states either because 1) the federal government has not extended the waivers, or 2) state governors are opting out of them."

    Twenty-two states have implemented new work rules in 2016, in addition to 15 that had already put them back in place.

    The article made it seem like awesome things were taking place, but it looks like people are just being kicked off if they are still unemployed

  3. The number of people on food stamps is plummeting at the fastest rate ever after the government made a key change

    Fewer and fewer Americans are on food stamps, and the decline is only getting faster.

    According to Paul Trussell, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, the number of people utilizing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, in June 2016 was down 4.7% from the same month a year before, and the number of households using SNAP was down 5.2% year-over-year.

    "The month of June represents the biggest YOY decline in persons and households participating in SNAP in the program's history," Trussell wrote in a note to clients on Thursday.

    The primary driver, according to Trussell, is the reinstitution of work rules by states. During the financial crisis, the federal government allowed states to waive requirements regarding employment for SNAP recipients as the unemployment rate soared.https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/number-people-food-stamps-plummeting-182600766.html

  4. Janelle, this is correct and is what Rev. Timmons said in a prior statement. By stopping Trumps political attacks, she was protecting her churches tax-exempt status as it applies to IRS rules: Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501c3 organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.

    Flint already has plenty of problems and Trump should have respected this and not use the church in violation of IRS tax laws for his own political gain. Rotten guy.

    Rules don't apply to her majesty Trumplestilskin

  5. Since the subject of this thread is the appearance of a fourth grade teacher I have a story to tell about one of my fourth grade teachers.

    In the fourth grade I had a female teacher for mathematics named Ms. Williams. She was black like all of the teachers at my school since I was attending a school that was probably 95% black. She was a full figured, light-skinned, and very attractive lady. The one thing I noticed on my first day of class was her stockings. They were sheer but they seemed to have a strange pattern to them. As she walked around the room I got a closer look at her calves and noticed what I thought was a strange pattern on her stockings was actually the very long matted hair on her legs. I have yet to see any other woman with such hairy legs.

    What???? men are distracted by the strangest things, I swear!???

  6. I'm not sure why you replied to my question to another poster with this, but I can only assume you are directing it at me. So I'll respond to you.

    Who was upset about who replied for whom? My spouse isn't the kind to hang out on Internet forums, particularly not one like CEHST. In fact, you're one of only 3 people in CEHST who have ever talked to her. If you have something to say about her, feel free.

    We have no control over the mods actions, hence this thread in the first place. Truth be told, probably a LOT more of the threads in CEHST should be deleted, not just closed. Heck, I think it would be best for this site, revenue aside, for it to be terminated.

    Can you provide a single link where I suggested ANYONE should be banned from the US? The only thing I have ever said that could be remotely skewed like that is that illegals shouldn't be allowed when there is a process for folks to get here legally, as this site and 99% of it's members advocate. I don't appreciate your accusation, but I am sure that if there is ANY truth to it, you or Marv will be along with a "receipt" real soon proving me wrong.

    LIB wasn't my "friend", any more than you, Marv, Teddy, MBD, Penny, Harpa, et. Al. He was a regular, long-time poster who predated many of us in CEHST. And anytime someone is banned from that forum, a piece of the group is gone. From either side of the polarities involved. Without differing opinions, and the opportunity to learn about why others think the way they do, CEHST will become boring, with everyone just agreeing with everyone else.

    Marv has all the links you'll ever need. He'll post them when he's not busy.

    But I do remember on fact stats about black crime. None the less, if you are hurt, cry about it, shake it off and keep it moving.

    A piece of YOUR group is gone. I'll post a little of what your group does.

    "Well you can't say all pit Bulls are bad dogs but I am gonna darn sure approach a Pitt bull diffently than I would a poodle.

    Even Farrakahan the leader of the Nation of Islam agrees that we need to tighten and restrict immigration from these middle eastern countries with radical Islam populationso.

    But some how Trump is Racist .50 gay people gun downed and the liberals are screaming about Guns and not judging Mooslums.

    Black people and muslims buy and sell slaves because Bush screwed up the middle east

    Lib posted this boys picture during the Orlando killing. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/598952-orlando-terror-attack-worst-mass-shooting-in-us-history/?p=8181941"

    My spouse used to post here some, and she is very opinionated and more to the right than me. She posted something that got deleted and earned her a thread ban which subsequently resulted in her account being closed by a mod claiming her account was actually my second account. She was so pissed she swore she would never be back.

    Since that time I rarely post here. Not worth the bother in most cases.

    I'm sorry. Talk her into coming back. I almost left once too

  7. Do you prefer RWNJ?

    It seems that some of you are upset that I respond for my husband or he responds to me. If you don't like this, I invite you to bring your spouse in here, or is it that you do not share the same POV?

    As Marv stated, most of LIBs links are gone. You can petition the MODS to see if they will make the links visible again, but I doubt they will. They hid them because they didn't want people viewing the conversations.

    Let's be clear, if we started stereotyping and asking that immigrants from other non-Muslim countries were banned to the U.S. like you guess advocate for in CEHEST, Marv and I would have been kicked off of this site. But you guys have been given free reign to disrespect the families, friends and love ones of this site on a consistent basis.

    If you really cared for your friend to stay around you would have asked that he stopped, but you egged him on. These are the consequences.
