Women's Movement Silent About Men Killing Happy Women




Shameful the women's movement/lobby is only for liberal elitists. Not only Alison Parker, and Kathryn Steinle are unimportant to them. They ignore Carly Fiorina. They ignore Pamela Geller, a courageous woman who stands up for free speech against terrorists, enduring daily death threats with no comment from liberal women. One group of women in Cambridge, MA told me Sarah Palin is not a woman. It shows how undeveloped their propaganda-filled minds are.


Carly Fiorina

[From article]
They were afraid. Even before her announcement, Carly was already Hillary Clinton’s most effective critic. And as the CEO of a global company, then the original Chair of the Central Intelligence Agency’s External Advisory Board, she has the executive experience and foreign affairs credentials to be President. Even more terrifying to Democrats: Because she is a conservative, Washington outsider with charisma and stellar communications skills, she has the ability not only to excite the Republican base but also to expand it.
[. . .]
Many of these hit pieces focused on Carly’s decision to merge Hewlett-Packard with Compaq, but they omit important facts.
[. . .]
Carly's critics also fail to admit that many industry insiders agree now, looking through the lens of history, that Carly was right and the merger was a success.
In fact, former HP Board Member and famed venture capitalist Tom Perkins, who supported the move to fire Carly, ultimately saw that she was a visionary saying, “The merger was a brilliant move. Look where HP is now: The biggest computer company in the world.”
[. . .]
And yes, Carly was fired. But what is never mentioned by liberals and their mouthpieces is the fact that after Carly left, the HP Board was investigated by The Department of Justice, the SEC, the State of California, and the United States Congress. As a result, the Chairman of the Board and another Board Member were forced to resign because of criminal misconduct by their agents against Carly, members of the media, and others.
Our country is looking for a president who won’t go-along-to-get-along with the Beltway crowd and who will make the tough decisions to grow our economy. Carly Fiorina’s time at Hewlett-Packard demonstrates that she will do both.

The Left Always Tells Us Whom They Fear: Carly Fiorina
By Kieran Lalor
* * *

[From article]
Friends and family are describing Alison Parker, who was killed yesterday by a "gay" black man named Vester Flanagan, as overjoyed to be living her dream. Kate Steinle and Alison Parker were not killed by guns. They were killed by goaded men.
When Donald Trump asked Jorge Ramos if he would deport the worst, murderous illegals, Ramos was mute. Among Ramos, La Raza, and the pro-invasion left, the message is sent that illegals are entitled to steal the happiness they see in America. They don't have to earn it; they don't have to wait in line; just rip it off. When venerated leaders like Ramos tell jealous and uneducated people they have the right to steal, can the right to rape and murder be far behind?
[. . .]
There are innumerable instances of heightened concern for black and homosexual crime victims and indifference, sometimes seemingly intentionally callous, for the families of white Americans and Christians who are killed. If a non-white person murders a white, as in these two deaths, the only response of the Obama administration pertains to gun control.
[. . .]
Throughout his life, Vester Flanagan was used by the left, who told him he was a victim because of his race and sexuality.
[. . .]
Of course his misguided mind turned against white people who succeeded where he had failed.
Nor will the feminists who are leftist first and foremost express outrage over the lives of two beautiful young women snuffed out because those women were happy.

Happy Mood Foods Coming to Your Nearest Airport




Why not forced injections by TSA medical professionals? This would save time and could put frisky passengers to sleep for the duration of the flight.


[From article]
Restaurants at the airport have updated their menus to include dishes designed to put travelers in a better mood. Frankie and Benny's, for example, has added a salmon citrus salad that promises to improve brain function, while Lebanese chain Comptoir's falafel and fattoush salad is meant to keeps blood sugar levels steady.
[. . .]

The importance of nutrition for flying is gaining recognition, Kallau believes. He points to innovations such as the FlyFit 'fatigue fighting' juice range, which claims to improve blood flow, and is now sold at 50 airports.
Opportunities for serotonin-boosting exercise are also growing at airports. At Amsterdam's Schiphol and Brussels Airport, passengers can recharge their phones with power generated from riding indoor bikes.
Such progress is welcomed by Geirthrudur Alfredsdottir, a pilot with Icelandair and editor of the Fit to Fly website which offers health advice for travelers.


Exercise machines at airports used to charge portable electronic device batteries, and to keep passengers healthy, happy and tired.

Woman Unconcerned After Loss of $100 million. Feels Better. Can't Buy Me Love!

[From article]
It’s November 2005 and we’ve been living in an 11-room suite at the Ritz-Carlton on West Street for a little more than two years. And first-grader Samantha has developed quite the habit of ordering in.
Far from finding it cute, I’m appalled — I grew up on welfare in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, so the charm and appeal of the whole “Eloise at the Plaza” scenario is wasted on me as I consider that we might be raising a spoiled child.
How ironic, then, that just three years later that privileged lifestyle would come crashing down around our heads. My husband, Anthony, now 52, lost his entire fortune — more than $100 million — in the Wall Street financial crisis, leaving us wondering where our next rent check would come from.
Looking back, it was the best thing that ever happened. Hanging out with the uber-wealthy was dull and empty. If someone handed me $100 million today, I’d give it back in a heartbeat. Why? Because I’ve found the fulfillment I’ve craved since childhood.
[. . .]
Born to a teenage mom, I was raised on food stamps. It was tough growing up in Bensonhurst and, when I was 16, my grandmother bought me a secondhand Smith Corona typewriter. Since I loved writing, she told me “to write myself out of this story.”
[. . .]
I was working as a temp for Chemical Bank and was running along Exchange Place to get to the office. Some guy came over to me, patted me on the shoulder and said: “Excuse me, miss, I think you’re beautiful. Can I take you for dinner or brunch?”
[. . .]
Our first date was cocktails at the Top of the Tower in Midtown East, followed by front-row seats at “The Phantom of the Opera” and dinner at Le Cirque, with limos in between.
[. . .]
And then the financial crash of 2008 happened. Anthony would come home stressed every night. After a while, he said: “You know, we’re going to have to get rid of the helicopter.” We started to cut back — I took my clothes to consignment stores and sold one of my Birkin bags to settle one AmEx bill — but there was too much being leveraged.
[. . .]
So I knocked the novel into shape and sent it to 50 agents. They all hated it but one.
Called “Brooklyn Story,” a thinly veiled memoir of my romance with the mobster, the book sold to Simon & Schuster within a week. To my amazement, I was offered a six-figure deal. And, when the book hit the best-seller lists in 2010, they asked me to write a trilogy, culminating in my last novel, “Hello, Hollywood,” published last month.

Harvard University Lecture on Altruism, By Peter Singer Who Promotes Killing Disabled Babies




This is truly an amazing example of distorted thinking at a major US university. Peter Singer is more famously known for advocating killing disabled babies saying that will enable more happiness in the world. See this link for one news article about him and his obscene beliefs.

'BIOETHICIST': OK TO KILL BABIES AFTER THEY'RE BORN
'Animal-rights' promoter asserts actual birth makes no difference
Published: 09/14/2006 at 1:00 AM


It shows how misguided universities are these days encouraging killing vulnerable persons while celebrating accumulating and using money to be thought of as altruistic. Is this more upside down thinking like, Shaw's "The road to hell is paved with good intentions;" or Cleobulous' "The chief source of evil among men is excessive good?"

[From article]
“People think the problem is so big that they can’t make a difference, I think that’s a mistake,” he said.
Introduced as “one of the most influential living philosophers in the most positive way” by Psychology professor Joshua D. Greene,
[. . .]
Harvard College Effective Altruism Co-President Angie Jo ’16 said the organization invited Singer to speak because of his status as prominent role in the movement of effective altruism.
“He has become famous for this notion that normal people can make more rigorous decisions to actually change the amount of good they do in the world,” she said.

Anti Depressant Use Increasing In US




Is everybody happy? Who wants ice cream?

[From article]
Antidepressant use among Americans is skyrocketing. Adults in the U.S. consumed four times more antidepressants in the late 2000s than they did in the early 1990s. As the third most frequently taken medication in the U.S., researchers estimate that 8 to 10 percent of the population is taking an antidepressant. But this spike does not necessarily signify a depression epidemic. Through the early 2000s pharmaceutical companies were aggressively testing selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the dominant class of depression drug, for a variety of disorders—the timeline below shows the rapid expansion of FDA-approved uses.

Wife's Happiness More Important Than Husband's For Long Marriage




[From article]
Feeling unhappy in your marriage, men? Stop being selfish and focus on your wife's happiness then, dictates new research.
Researchers have found that the key to marital bliss is all about women's feelings and the happier they are, the better.
The study revealed that the more content the wife is within the marriage, the happier the husband is with his life as a result.

Study: Unmarried Professional Women Unhappy







[From article]
The author, Sherrie Bourg Carter, Psy.D., notes
[. . .]
In fact, a comprehensive analysis of the trends in subjective well-being across several decades revealed similar findings regarding female happiness. In The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness published by the American Economic Journal, researchers Betsy Stevenson and Justin Wolfers found that although women's life circumstances by most objective measures have improved greatly over the past few decades, women's happiness has declined both absolutely and relatively to men.
[. . .]
So I guess we are stuck with a “paradox.” Reality doesn’t fit with our assumptions. But instead of questioning those assumptions, we just reframe the question. Men and women are exactly the same, so much so that people get to choose which sex they live their lives at. It is all a social construct anyway. Ask any liberal. The “party of science” knows that chromosomes mean nothing.

Being Right Leads To Happiness




[From article]
“It seems that being right, however, is a cause of happiness, and agreeing with what one disagrees with is a cause of unhappiness,” they wrote. They also noted that “the availability of unbridled power adversely affects the quality of life of those on the receiving end.”

Peter Singer's Abhorrent Views, Praised at Harvard University


“'We are animals,' [Moral philosopher and Princeton professor Peter] Singer said, citing Darwin’s theory of evolution. Singer [. . .] asserts that animals’ interests should be given equal weight to those of humans." This moral philosopher joins state and US laws which give (non human) animals more protections than the human kind. See, e.g., US Animal Protection Act of 1966, compared with Title 45 CFR 46. Prof. Singer advocates allowing parents to kill severely disabled human children during the first six months of life, to increase the amount of happiness in the world. His ideas are moral, with the strict meaning of habit. Better than some ideas, worse than others. “'If God were a utilitarian, Singer would be his patron saint,' Law School professor and Petrie-Flom Center co-director Glenn Cohen said in his introduction." Would that make him also a saint, protecting parents from the unhappiness of having disabled children?

Venezuelan Dept. of Happiness


[From article]
Americans may insist on the right to pursue happiness, but Venezuela now has a formal government agency in charge of enforcing it.
[. . .]
Oil-rich Venezuela is chronically short of basic goods and medical supplies. Annual inflation is running officially at near 50 percent and the U.S. dollar now fetches more than seven times the official rate on the black market.
[. . .]
Chavez spent billions on social programs, from benefits for single mothers to handouts of apartments and major appliances.

Obama and Oprah Discuss Happiness

Flying on Obama's private plane. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled
and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window
right now and make somebody very happy."

Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100
bills out of the window and make ten people very happy."

Michelle added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred
$10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy."

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his
