8 Useful Technologies Inspired By Nature - Duration: 8:47.
Humans are incredibly good at inventing stuff.
I mean, just in the last 50 years, we've come up with technology
that's totally transformed our world, like cell phones and the internet.
But natural selection has been solving problems for billions of years,
and it's led to some super efficient solutions.
So lots of researchers look to nature for solutions
that we might not have thought of on our own.
Here are 8 of the coolest ideas we've borrowed.
Mosquito bites are, like, unquestionably awful.
But have you ever noticed you rarely feel the actual bite?
It's the mosquito's saliva that makes you itch--and delivers diseases.
But if there's one good thing mosquitos have ever done for humanity,
it's inspiring scientists to design less painful injection needles.
A mosquito's proboscis, the part it bites you with,
is made up of seven different movable parts.
Two of those parts hold hold onto your skin,
while two more carefully saw through,
making way for the "straw" part to dive in and suck up your blood.
I mean, it sounds horrible, but it is less painful than just jabbing into your skin.
So in 2008, a team of Indian and Japanese scientists
copied the size of a female mosquito proboscis
to make a tiny needle with a tiny pump to suck up blood.
Its size, combined with the pump, makes getting poked practically painless.
Then, in 2011, a second group copied three
of mosquitos' seven moveable mouthparts to make a motorized needle
that pokes first with one tiny saw, then the other,
while vibrating slightly to ease into the skin.
That makes way for the sharp straw to draw blood or deliver medicine.
The serrated edges of the saws make less contact with your skin
than a regular hypodermic needle, so you feel less pain.
Another animal that's helping with healthcare?
The mussel.
Mussels stick themselves to all kinds of underwater surfaces,
like rocks, piers, and boats, with glue that they make.
And not only is this glue waterproof
it'll actually set underwater, and repair itself if the bond is broken.
Researchers studying mussel glue have identified
some of the specific proteins that make it stick,
and the research has inspired all kinds of new glues,
like a new waterproof, less-toxic glue for plywood.
And in 2014, a team at MIT genetically engineered E. coli bacteria
to produce some of the gluey proteins,
combined with the proteins the bacteria use to produce biofilm.
They ended up with a glue that works underwater, just like natural mussel glue.
At this point the researchers can only make
small amounts of the glue at a time, but the stuff could eventually be used
for everything from repairing ships
to sticking people back together during surgery.
There's also a Danish team working on synthesizing a glue
based on mussel proteins
one that does more than work underwater.
It also repairs itself like mussel glue.
Mussel glue contains an amino acid that bonds very strongly to iron
so strongly that even if the bond is broken, it'll re-form.
The Danish researchers' glue is designed to do the same thing.
The glue is still in development,
but it's the kind of thing that could also someday be useful for surgeries
or any other situation where you could use a waterproof glue that can fix itself.
Now, I don't know if you've ever gotten up-close-and-personal with a shark.
But if you decided to pet one for some reason,
you'd probably notice that its skin is sandpaper-rough.
That's because it's covered in tiny, tooth-like denticles,
which help sharks both swim faster and stay clean of parasites and bacteria.
The denticles affect the flow of water around the shark,
which reduces the friction as it moves through the water,
allowing it to swim faster.
The concept has inspired high-tech swimsuits,
where the fabric is designed to have the same kinds of tiny bumps.
And researchers are also working on ways to use shark skin's adaptations
to keep ships clean of clingers and hospitals surfaces safer from germs.
The microscopic surface of shark denticles is covered in ridges
whose shape makes it hard for parasites and bacteria to get a grip.
By copying that texture, one company created a material that,
compared to a smooth surface,
reduces the presence of MRSA bacteria by 94%.
Like sharks, whales are pretty great swimmers.
And some whales have bumps that help them out, too.
Humpback whales zoom through the ocean hunting schools of fish.
But they can't just scoop up big mouthfuls like blue whales do with plankton,
because fish tend to swim away when you try to eat them.
So humpbacks use a technique called bubble net feeding.
They use their giant flippers like airplane wings to swim in tight circles
while blowing bubbles, which concentrates the school of fish
so the whale can just swim up through the middle and swallow them.
That got scientists wondering why on earth there are knobs and bumps,
called tubercles, on the leading edge of humpback whales' flippers.
It turns out that those knobs and bumps can make lots of flipper
or wing-like things more efficient by funneling water or air
into the troughs between the bumps on the wing.
Putting the bumps on wind turbine blades lets them
turn more wind energy into electric energy.
And sticking them on airplane wings could make them more efficient
and less likely to stall.
They could make surfboards more maneuverable,
and fan blades quieter and more efficient.
Researchers are trying them out on everything
from submarines to kayak paddles.
There's another more wind turbine innovation inspired by marine inhabitants.
Specifically, it's modeled after the way fish form schools.
Those tall wind turbines with blades
known as horizontal axis wind turbines
can't be too close to each other,
or they interfere with each others' air dynamics.
The closer together they are, the more they interfere,
which limits the amount of energy they can produce over a given area of space.
But schooling fish swim very close together
without interfering with the water around each other,
which made scientists wonder if fishy physics
could be the key to compact wind farms.
And it is.
Vertical axis wind turbines are turbines with shorter blades
that spin around the pole.
By themselves, these turbines
generate less energy than horizontal axis turbines.
But they interact with the air in a way that's similar
to how schooling fish interact with water,
and researchers have used the similarities to apply
what they've seen in schooling fish to the way the turbines are arranged.
That means the turbines can be packed closer together,
which takes up less room so you can get more electricity
out of the space you have available.
Coral are great builders.
Tiny individual animals, called coral polyps,
build up the structural skeleton of coral reefs by producing calcium carbonate,
otherwise known as limestone.
And they use the carbon dioxide in ocean water
as part of their building process.
We humans like to build lots of things with concrete.
But unfortunately for us and coral reefs and the whole planet,
manufacturing cement, a main ingredient in concrete,
produces about 5% of all the carbon dioxide
we pump into the environment every year.
Which is … not great.
But inspired by the way corals build their skeletons,
companies are working on ways to incorporate carbon dioxide
into building materials like cement and cement board.
Normally, making a ton of cement produces about a ton of carbon dioxide.
But using carbon dioxide in the cement itself can reduce those emissions
by anywhere from 5 to 40%.
And—bonus!—some of these CO2-infused building materials
are stronger than the original recipe.
Different companies have created versions of this so-called "green concrete",
but right now they're still working on developing the process
so it can be scaled up.
Waterbears do it.
Jericho roses do it.
Even Brewer's yeast does it.
I'm talking about the ability to survive your cells being dried out.
Usually, cells don't like to be dried out.
They lodge their complaints by dying.
Permanently.
But some cells—like those of waterbears and Jericho roses,
aka "resurrection plants"—take it in stride.
To bring them back, you can just add water!
Researchers studied this ability and found that the secret
seems to be a protective sugar called trehalose
that allows cells to lose their water without being damaged.
One potentially life-saving use for trehalose is to preserve vaccines,
which otherwise have to be protected from heat
and drying out while they're being transported.
Every vaccine recommended by the World Health Organization
requires protection from heat,
making hauling them long distances difficult and expensive.
Scientists have been working on this for over 20 years,
and it seems to really work.
One 2010 study, for example, used trehalose to stabilize a flu vaccine
so it would work with a microneedle
that even someone with little or no training could use to deliver the vaccine.
The researchers found that when they included trehalose
to stabilize the vaccine, it was more effective at protecting against the flu.
Velcro might seem like a simple way to stick things together.
But it actually wasn't invented until the 1940s, when a Swiss engineer
named George de Mestral went on a hunting trip with his dog,
and burrs from burdock plants got stuck to his pants and to his dog's fur.
Sticky burrs have probably been annoying people for thousands of years,
but they gave de Mestral an idea:
What if he could use burrs to create a sort of reusable adhesive?
He decided to check out the burrs under a microscope,
and he saw that they were covered in tiny hooks,
which explained why they were so great at sticking to stuff.
He recreated the hooked ends of the burrs,
which became the rough half of the Velcro.
The other, softer side was made of loops for the hooks to grab onto.
By the late 1950s, he'd patented and started selling his invention.
And then NASA started buying it.
They knew things would just sort of float around in orbit,
and astronauts needed an easy way to stick things to walls so they'd stay put,
but could also be easily detached.
Velcro was the perfect solution.
People also started using it for things like sports equipment
and blood pressure cuffs.
And, of course, awesome sneakers.
All because de Mestral was inspired by those annoying, sticky burrs.

Feeding my need to be reckoned as someone And every day and every time I turn around
Searching for a sign so I can make a sound
But all I want is to flee
I wanna see you

The Problem with Cartoon Network's 2017-2018 Line-Up - Duration: 5:17.
Hello lords and ladies.
Welcome back to Cartoon Hangout, your place for all things cartoon.
So recently Cartoon Network released a little press release talking about their upcoming
2017 to 2018 line-up and it is…well, more of the same.
I don't mean the shows have the exact same premise or anything, just that they don't
look any different visually than what's airing now.
Let's just go over them real quick.
There's Apple & Onion, which is probably the more different looking of the five new
series.
This show follows the titular Apple and Onion as they explore the big city.
It's meant to be a friendship comedy show by the creator of The Amazing World of Gumball.
So I have some glimmer of hope it'll be really good, but I'm not quite a fan of
the art style.
Craig of the Creek is an adventure series by Matt Burnett and Ben Levin of Stephen Universe
fame, which features a kid utopia.
The premise almost gives me slight KND vibes but it'll probably be a little less action-y
than that.
The art style is basically just the standard Cartoon Network in-house-style.
I mean, if it doesn't look like Steven Universe to you, you're blind.
Summer Camp Island, by Julia Pott of Adventure Time, somehow manages to kinda look different
but also still remarkably similar to all the other shows on Cartoon Network.
The series has something to do with mysteries involving a magic camp, but there's not
much else to go on in the press release, so I don't know much else about it.
It does sound a little interesting, but again I'm not a huge fan of its art.
OK KO!
Let's Be Heroes is a show getting a lot of hype in the cartoon fandom.
I have no idea why, as I have neither played the mobile game or watched anything from it.
Artistically it reminds me of Adventure Time or Regular Show and is set in a world of heroes,
I think.
This one could be a lot of fun given the premise, but it it doesn't set itself apart with
that art either.
And lastly we have Ben 10 and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, two shows I've already
covered on this channel, so I won't go into details there.
The major problem with all these shows is that there's no artistic variety.
While each show may not share the 100% exact style, they each still manage to look incredibly
similar to each other and to the other 'toons on Cartoon Network.
Looking at the creators of each new show, I'm starting to give some credit to the
rumor that Cartoon Network just hires friends or co-workers based on them being in the same
clique than any kind of actual talent.
Each of these new shows are from people who are all still working on the other shows.
Apple & Onion is from the creator of Gumball, Craig of the Creek is made by two people who
were on Steven Universe.
Summer Camp Island?
Julia from Adventure Time.
I don't have an issue with some of them getting their own shows, but I hope it was
because they had something cool to bring to the table, not because you're all buddies.
Because as it stands you can hardly tell Cartoon Network shows apart, with very few exceptions,
and even when you can they all still have the same super simple art style.
There's not much variety here and I don't understand why anyone would defend it.
Sure, if you like the style you may not have a problem, but even then would you want all
your shows to have the exact same aesthetics as every other show?
No, I can't imagine you would.
So it boggles my mind when I see artistic types say it's fine or this is how the cartoon
culture as evolved.
How does that defend artistic stagnation?
I don't want all my comics or video games to be the same, why should I be okay with
all cartoons looking the same?
Even if you claim older cartoons had moments of this, I don't think that's a great
excuse.
All I'm asking for is a little diversity.
Not every show on Cartoon Network should be so similar you could practically drag and
drop characters from different shows into other shows and not tell the difference.
I think Cartoon Network could have a problem on their hands soon, if they don't wisen
up.
The people who grew up with Adventure Time are going to eventually grow tired of new
cartoons looking so similar to the ones they have now.
I know I'm already tired of it.
The quality of the shows may vary, but artistically the network is bland and boring.
Bring on new people with new art styles, genres, and ideas.
Don't just recycle the same group of creators you already have or that have similar styles
to the ones you work with.
A little bit of spice never killed anyone.
And those are my thoughts on the new Cartoon Network line-up.
Have some of your own?
Please share those below and feel free to share this around.
I think it's important that Cartoon Network hears from its fans.
Thanks for watching and take care!

Here's My Canada: And There Is No Place Like It - Duration: 0:37.
What Canada means to me. Canada is great. Canada
is freedom. Canada is Canada, and there's
no place like it. Canada has many
different religions. It accepts
people for who they are: black white it
doesn't matter. Canada has two official
languages - French and English, which is
amazing because it provides people jobs.
In Canada I can do the things I love
like playing basketball. Canada is
incredible, fantastic and wonderful and is an
overall amazing country. Canada provides
freedom of speech no matter if you're
rich or poor Canada has open hands for you.
This is my Canada, and it's my home.

I mean, it sounds horrible, but it is less painful than just jabbing into your skin.
So in 2008, a team of Indian and Japanese scientists
copied the size of a female mosquito proboscis
to make a tiny needle with a tiny pump to suck up blood.
Its size, combined with the pump, makes getting poked practically painless.
Then, in 2011, a second group copied three
of mosquitos' seven moveable mouthparts to make a motorized needle
that pokes first with one tiny saw, then the other,
while vibrating slightly to ease into the skin.
That makes way for the sharp straw to draw blood or deliver medicine.
The serrated edges of the saws make less contact with your skin
than a regular hypodermic needle, so you feel less pain.
Another animal that's helping with healthcare?
The mussel.
Mussels stick themselves to all kinds of underwater surfaces,
like rocks, piers, and boats, with glue that they make.
And not only is this glue waterproof
it'll actually set underwater, and repair itself if the bond is broken.
Researchers studying mussel glue have identified
some of the specific proteins that make it stick,
and the research has inspired all kinds of new glues,
like a new waterproof, less-toxic glue for plywood.
And in 2014, a team at MIT genetically engineered E. coli bacteria
to produce some of the gluey proteins,
combined with the proteins the bacteria use to produce biofilm.
They ended up with a glue that works underwater, just like natural mussel glue.
At this point the researchers can only make
small amounts of the glue at a time, but the stuff could eventually be used
for everything from repairing ships
to sticking people back together during surgery.
There's also a Danish team working on synthesizing a glue
based on mussel proteins
one that does more than work underwater.
It also repairs itself like mussel glue.
Mussel glue contains an amino acid that bonds very strongly to iron
so strongly that even if the bond is broken, it'll re-form.
The Danish researchers' glue is designed to do the same thing.
The glue is still in development,
but it's the kind of thing that could also someday be useful for surgeries
or any other situation where you could use a waterproof glue that can fix itself.
Now, I don't know if you've ever gotten up-close-and-personal with a shark.
But if you decided to pet one for some reason,
you'd probably notice that its skin is sandpaper-rough.
That's because it's covered in tiny, tooth-like denticles,
which help sharks both swim faster and stay clean of parasites and bacteria.
The denticles affect the flow of water around the shark,
which reduces the friction as it moves through the water,
allowing it to swim faster.
The concept has inspired high-tech swimsuits,
where the fabric is designed to have the same kinds of tiny bumps.
And researchers are also working on ways to use shark skin's adaptations
to keep ships clean of clingers and hospitals surfaces safer from germs.
The microscopic surface of shark denticles is covered in ridges
whose shape makes it hard for parasites and bacteria to get a grip.
By copying that texture, one company created a material that,
compared to a smooth surface,
reduces the presence of MRSA bacteria by 94%.
Like sharks, whales are pretty great swimmers.
And some whales have bumps that help them out, too.
Humpback whales zoom through the ocean hunting schools of fish.
But they can't just scoop up big mouthfuls like blue whales do with plankton,
because fish tend to swim away when you try to eat them.
So humpbacks use a technique called bubble net feeding.
They use their giant flippers like airplane wings to swim in tight circles
while blowing bubbles, which concentrates the school of fish
so the whale can just swim up through the middle and swallow them.
That got scientists wondering why on earth there are knobs and bumps,
called tubercles, on the leading edge of humpback whales' flippers.
It turns out that those knobs and bumps can make lots of flipper
or wing-like things more efficient by funneling water or air
into the troughs between the bumps on the wing.
Putting the bumps on wind turbine blades lets them
turn more wind energy into electric energy.
And sticking them on airplane wings could make them more efficient
and less likely to stall.
They could make surfboards more maneuverable,
and fan blades quieter and more efficient.
Researchers are trying them out on everything
from submarines to kayak paddles.
There's another more wind turbine innovation inspired by marine inhabitants.
Specifically, it's modeled after the way fish form schools.
Those tall wind turbines with blades
known as horizontal axis wind turbines
can't be too close to each other,
or they interfere with each others' air dynamics.
The closer together they are, the more they interfere,
which limits the amount of energy they can produce over a given area of space.
But schooling fish swim very close together
without interfering with the water around each other,
which made scientists wonder if fishy physics
could be the key to compact wind farms.
And it is.
Vertical axis wind turbines are turbines with shorter blades
that spin around the pole.
By themselves, these turbines
generate less energy than horizontal axis turbines.
But they interact with the air in a way that's similar
to how schooling fish interact with water,
and researchers have used the similarities to apply
what they've seen in schooling fish to the way the turbines are arranged.
That means the turbines can be packed closer together,
which takes up less room so you can get more electricity
out of the space you have available.
Coral are great builders.
Tiny individual animals, called coral polyps,
build up the structural skeleton of coral reefs by producing calcium carbonate,
otherwise known as limestone.
And they use the carbon dioxide in ocean water
as part of their building process.
We humans like to build lots of things with concrete.
But unfortunately for us and coral reefs and the whole planet,
manufacturing cement, a main ingredient in concrete,
produces about 5% of all the carbon dioxide
we pump into the environment every year.
Which is … not great.
But inspired by the way corals build their skeletons,
companies are working on ways to incorporate carbon dioxide
into building materials like cement and cement board.
Normally, making a ton of cement produces about a ton of carbon dioxide.
But using carbon dioxide in the cement itself can reduce those emissions
by anywhere from 5 to 40%.
And—bonus!—some of these CO2-infused building materials
are stronger than the original recipe.
Different companies have created versions of this so-called "green concrete",
but right now they're still working on developing the process
so it can be scaled up.
Waterbears do it.
Jericho roses do it.
Even Brewer's yeast does it.
I'm talking about the ability to survive your cells being dried out.
Usually, cells don't like to be dried out.
They lodge their complaints by dying.
Permanently.
But some cells—like those of waterbears and Jericho roses,
aka "resurrection plants"—take it in stride.
To bring them back, you can just add water!
Researchers studied this ability and found that the secret
seems to be a protective sugar called trehalose
that allows cells to lose their water without being damaged.
One potentially life-saving use for trehalose is to preserve vaccines,
which otherwise have to be protected from heat
and drying out while they're being transported.
Every vaccine recommended by the World Health Organization
requires protection from heat,
making hauling them long distances difficult and expensive.
Scientists have been working on this for over 20 years,
and it seems to really work.
One 2010 study, for example, used trehalose to stabilize a flu vaccine
so it would work with a microneedle
that even someone with little or no training could use to deliver the vaccine.
The researchers found that when they included trehalose
to stabilize the vaccine, it was more effective at protecting against the flu.
Velcro might seem like a simple way to stick things together.
But it actually wasn't invented until the 1940s, when a Swiss engineer
named George de Mestral went on a hunting trip with his dog,
and burrs from burdock plants got stuck to his pants and to his dog's fur.
Sticky burrs have probably been annoying people for thousands of years,
but they gave de Mestral an idea:
What if he could use burrs to create a sort of reusable adhesive?
He decided to check out the burrs under a microscope,
and he saw that they were covered in tiny hooks,
which explained why they were so great at sticking to stuff.
He recreated the hooked ends of the burrs,
which became the rough half of the Velcro.
The other, softer side was made of loops for the hooks to grab onto.
By the late 1950s, he'd patented and started selling his invention.
And then NASA started buying it.
They knew things would just sort of float around in orbit,
and astronauts needed an easy way to stick things to walls so they'd stay put,
but could also be easily detached.
Velcro was the perfect solution.
People also started using it for things like sports equipment
and blood pressure cuffs.
And, of course, awesome sneakers.
All because de Mestral was inspired by those annoying, sticky burrs.

The method and its advantages to carry out the "Bluetooth tethering" in the Android each other
Hello everyone
This time, it will be commentary way to do "Bluetooth tethering" in the Android each other and its advantages
Android In Wi-Fi, USB, you can do tethering in three of the connection method of Bluetooth
It is "Wi-Fi tethering" called common is abbreviated as "tethering"
"USB tethering" will also be tethering how to come in handy because many also relatively easy to use advantage
I am now allowed to introduce "Bluetooth tethering" Although I most set in the three tethering method is complicated,
"USB tethering" Like, when the host side of the Android to share data communications to other devices are performing the internet access Wi-Fi communication,
The point that the data communication can also be shared on the client side has become an advantage
The features of the only, the point to start the tethering from the client side to receive the data also shared "Bluetooth tethering" in the three tethering In addition to this
First to do "Bluetooth tethering" in the Android each other, there is a need to enable the "Bluetooth tethering" in the host side of the Android
Open the Settings page, such as from the set of Android "tethering and portable access point", turn on the switch of "Bluetooth tethering"
Still tethering will not start at this point
Then pairing and Android via Bluetooth to the Android and the host to the client
Preparation of here until Once you have set "Bluetooth tethering" is complete
After that Touch the Settings icon that appears to the right of the Android model name to the host from the Bluetooth settings on the client side of Android,
Check the "Internet access" of the displayed is "a paired device" window
Then the host side of the Android "Bluetooth tethering" is started, sharing of data communication by Bluetooth will start
The end of the "Bluetooth tethering" is can be performed in both the host and client
"Bluetooth tethering" is from the characteristics of the communication standard, "Wi-Fi tethering" communication speed is I slower than, handy to remember because the advantages many
Also this time will be the introduction of a method of performing a "Bluetooth tethering" in the Android each other, but the basic method of operation also when a client the other OS devices is the same
Please by all means try to reference
Above, was the way the explanation of the advantage of doing a "Bluetooth tethering" in the Android each other

Barron's BIG PLANS For The White House Just Announced And Liberals Are Losing Their Minds! - Duration: 12:08.
Barron's BIG PLANS For The White House Just Announced And Liberals Are Losing Their Minds!
The first son to live in the White House since President John F. Kennedy Jr. is preparing
to make his much-anticipated move in just a few short
weeks from now once his school year in New York comes to an end.
With his relocation for at least the next four years, comes an announcement
this weekend of his big plans for what he's going to do in the People's House that has
liberals losing their minds.
Barron broke the long-standing tradition of First Daughters and is now doing something
else new in Washington, D.C.
He's returning to the White
House for the first time in a long time, before he makes the official summer move, and is
bringing a few new people with him as part of his
plan.
Melania has proved that one of the most important things to her has a mother and Frist Lady
is to maintain a sense of normalcy for Barron.
The
boy recently turned 11 and didn't have a big birthday bash, delaying the celebration
until his reunion with his family in the Nation's Capital
with a few friends along for the fun and a White House sleepover.
PollHype reports:
"According to Trump insiders, Donald's youngest son has been waiting in anticipation
for the move.
He's been eagerly asking if his friends can
visit and innocently said to his mom, 'I hope there are bedrooms for my friends to
come visit'."
What's going to make this small party fun for the First Son and a few of his friends
from Columbia grammar school, is that they will get to
enjoy all that the White House has to offer for kids, including "a basement bowling
alley, basketball court, tennis court, and a swimming
pool," according to the New York Daily News.
This is pretty special for Barron who has to endure endless criticism from liberal lunatics
who have no qualms about berating a young boy.
Leftists often accuse him of being entitled and a spoiled brat and this birthday advantage
probably just adds to that inaccurate accusation.
However, despite his family's wealth, his parents have raised him with wholesome values
and he has a mother who is very much involved in his
life, puts him first, and does everything she can to ensure a solid upbringing.
IT'S HAPPENING! Trump Just Came Up With GENIUS Plan To Get Mexico To Pay For The Wall!
This is it, folks!
The moment we've all been waiting for – How does Trump pay for the Wall?
Well, with a little help from a few friends in the U.S. House, it's now known that the
Wall will be paid for with the exact thing Trump talked
about during the campaign… a FEE will be placed on All remissions sent to Mexico made
by illegals.
Oh, and it gets better.
The Fee won't apply
strictly to illegals, but to All immigrants who send money outside of the United States,
regardless of the country they're sending the cash to.
Sending money to Pakistan?
FEE!
Saudi Arabia?
FEE!
Failing states that hate America & communist utopias like Venezuela?
FEE!
That's right.
While Demoncrats poo-pooed Trump's plan for a wall & to make Mexico pay for it as
"racist," and former president of Mexico
Vicente Fox screamed on Twitter, "I am not paying for that fucken wall!", there was
a plan in the works to make them all eat their words.
On Thursday, Republican members of the House introduced a bill to impose a 2% fee on all
remittances sent not only to Mexico, but to any other
nation as well.
That could lead to a hefty sum for a truly Great wall.
Via the Washington Times:
A group of House Republicans on Thursday introduced the first major bill to fund President Trump's
border wall, saying the government could
collect billions of dollars by imposing a 2 percent fee on all the money Mexicans and
other immigrants send back home.
Estimates vary, but remittances from those in the U.S. to their relatives back home could
top $130 billion a year.
A 2 percent tax could net
more than $2 billion a year if it applied to all money regardless of who's sending
it.
"This bill is simple — anyone who sends their money to countries that benefit from
our porous borders and illegal immigration should be
responsible for providing some of the funds needed to complete the wall," Rep. Mike
Rogers, Alabama Republican, said in a statement.
"This bill keeps money in the American economy, and most importantly, it creates a funding
stream to build the wall."
Mr. Rogers and Rep. Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania are leading the effort.
Americans have been reminded time & time again of the danger illegal immigrants pose to their
families.
From Kate Steinle being murdered in
cold blood in the sanctuary city of San Francisco by an illegal who had been deported 5 times,
to the more recent case of a drunk-driving
illegal killing a family in Ohio.
We've had enough of the drugs, the rapes, and the murders that illegals bring with them
like the plague.
It's time to build the wall.
And thank
God members of the House are putting Trump's plans into action in order to protect all
of us.
The era of Obama is over, folks.
The era of law & order is here…
Finally.
Share this if you want the wall built, and for Mexico to pay for it!

Starbucks Promises To REWARD Customers Who Attack Conservatives, Here's Their SICK
Offer
Starbucks has been getting a little bit of bad press among conservatives lately.
Honestly, most of us don't pay a whole lot of attention to the
political views of the businesses we frequent, unless they make a big fuss about it, as was
the case with Starbucks.
They've long been known as
a liberally owned company, but most of us just take our overpriced jolt of caffeine
with a side of First Amendment and carry on, slightly more
wide awake.
However, CEO Howard Schultz began to make that very difficult when he started saying
things like "if you support traditional marriage, we don't
want your business."
There have been several other occasions where the company seems to want to alienate itself
from anything other than the
alt-left.
Many Americans are trying hard to look the other way, probably for the sake of convenience,
but boy are they making it hard.
According to Business Insider Schultz has now said that the company's decision to
hire 10,000 Muslim refugees was rooted in compassion, not
politics.
Justin Danhof, the general counsel for the National Center for Public Policy Research,
a conservative think tank, and Starbucks
shareholder questioned him on the issue at a Q&A portion of Starbucks' annual shareholder's
meeting, asking:
"Why were you willing to have Starbucks' reputation take a beating when you spoke out
against President Trump's travel ban, when you lacked the
courage to speak out against the Obama-Clinton travel ban?"
Starbucks shareholders at the meeting could be heard audibly booing Danhof after he asked
his question.
The company's newest shenanigans are even further proof that they aren't at all in
touch with what this country needs.
According to Fox and
Friends, all you have to do to get a free cup of coffee at your friendly neighborhood
Starbucks is to be willing to have a nice little chat
with someone with an opposite political view than yourself.
Starbucks and Hi From The Other Side seem to be either delusional or very optimistic
if they think a cup of coffee and a bunch of carefully
crafted non-aggressive talking points are going to cure what's wrong with America.
I get their point, they're working off the failed assumption
that we all want the same things, but that is a premise with which I wholeheartedly disagree.
If I'm being honest, I'll probably do it, but when it comes to politics it's my
job to be a glutton for punishment so that I can come tell you
about it.
And you never know, maybe I'll make my first liberal friend.

Watch What Obama Welfare Leech Does After Trump Cancel Her Food Stamps
Under the Obama administration entitlement benefits and access to them skyrocketed.
The new healthcare bill was meant to help decrease access
to those entitlement benefits for those who did not really need them.
Now that the Trump administration is cracking down on welfare fraud the
Obama era leeches are getting pissed off.
Look at the video below to see one of them and their reaction to being cut off from their
taxpayer
funded entitlement benefits,
People should not be allowed to freeload off of the American taxpayers.
The entitlement mentality and culture permeates the mind and thereby
our society.
In the long run, we will only be hurt by it.
This YouTube video goes to show just how far the entitlement culture has gone.
The video shows a woman who has utilized welfare benefits brag about how she has never had
a job.
Imagine, bragging about working only a few
days in your life.
It is disgusting.
President Obama put her on the dole and President Trump took her off.
Now that she is off of her food
stamps and they have been taken away she is raging against the administration.
News flash, those benefits are there for people who need them who are in dire straights.
They are meant for people who are down on their luck
but working hard to get back up.
Clearly not this woman.
She deserves to have it taken away because she is stealing it from people who
sincerely do.
In fact, what she is doing is really criminal.
Not only is President Trump ensuring these benefits aren't a drain on our national
budget but he is single-handedly dismantling the entitlement
mentality and culture that was instituted under the Obama administration.
No more.
This is one way he is going to make America great again.
BREAKING Trump Makes MASSIVE Move Against CHICAGO For Harboring Illegals.
Good For Him!
Chicago has been a hell hole for both it's citizens, and the rest of the country – and
you can thank liberal policies for that.
But now it
seems that President Trump is actually his combating this lefty scourge, and he's doing
it by tightening down on leftist leadership in the
city.
The Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, is flat out of $4.6 million federal dollars after
he promised that his city would remain a sanctuary city,
and thus putting its citizens in further danger by breaking federal law.
A sanctuary city is a safe-haven for illegal immigrants, meaning that ICE agents who are
looking for specific suspects that are illegal aliens,
are protected by the city, allowing them to continue to roam around as if they were legal
citizens.
This freedom for those who are not
accountable leads to much destruction and heartache.
Polls done by the Washington Feed have established that there are around 511,000 illegal
immigrants in the state of Illinois as it stands, and a massive 35 percent of them are
located just in Chicago.
Chicago has been a hotbed for violence and mayhem, and there is a direct link to Emanuel
and his policies.
He is a prime example of radical
leftist policies and he's before been the target of citizens demanding that he resign.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has given warning to Mayor Emanuel that if he continued to create
a safe haven for illegal immigrants, then a
defunding would happen, and that's exactly what happened.
Of course, the former Obama administration member would not listen to reason.
Of course, the Emanuel team is doing damage control, stating that nothing is wrong and
that federal funding has not stopped.
We'll see how this
all plays out, but I'm guessing a city is hurting bad without its federal funds.
