One of Kaepernick's own. St Michael.

BTW...This is his real headstone.

Brown is among the most notable residents of 160-year-old St. Peter's Cemetery, but there is no headstone marking his grave. Instead the burial plot — Section 10, Block F, Lot 12, Grave 4 — is visible only when gazing down at a concrete slab simply spray-painted in orange with "MB."

Other matters have interfered in getting the permanent headstone in place, said Lyah LeFlore, vice president of the Michael O.D. Brown "We Love Our Sons & Daughters" Foundation that Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, helped launch in her late son's memory. Among the distractions: The unfolding wrongful-death lawsuit that McSpadden and Brown's father filed against Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb's former police chief and Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Brown during an August 2014 confrontation.

The cost presumably isn't an issue: In the weeks after Brown's death, hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised through fundraising websites to defray the family's funeral, burial, travel and living expenses.

"Everybody has to do things kind of at their own pace," LeFlore said of efforts to mark Brown's grave. McSpadden added "I just want something beautiful, poetic, and wonderful in her son's memory. It has just taken time."

Translation: 

We spent the money. 

But they did have $3.95 left for a can of spray paint to honor her "beloved son."

How touching.

Twenty-one states file suit against Obama to stop another end run around Congress

---------------------------------------

President Obama is doing anything but closing out his lame duck term quietly. On the contrary, he’s doing yet another end run around both the U.S. Congress and all 50 states, imposing yet another mandate that will cost money and jobs, possibly forcing states to raise taxes as well. 

Twenty-one states have filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Sherman, Texas, to stop him. Hours after the states filed their lawsuit, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups filed a similar lawsuit with the same federal court.

Obama’s new mandate would force employers in all states to pay overtime to certain state employees. These employees include “bona fide executive, administrative, or professional” workers as they are not covered by the federal law that requires states to pay overtime for work performed beyond 40 hours in a week. The mandate applies to both private and public sector employers.

On the surface this sounds somewhat sensible. Why shouldn’t any state worker – or private sector worker contracted by the state – be eligible for overtime if they work more than 40 hours in a week? One reason why this hasn’t happened yet is many states are strapped just trying to balance their current budgets. Mr. Obama’s lack of hope and change, much less his promised economic recovery, hasn’t helped. 

The law says it should be up to the individual states first to decide if, and when, they should make such a change. Then they can ask Congress to change the law, and it’s up to Congress to have the final say.

This action by the Obama administration violates the Fair Labor Standards Act – only Congress has the power to establish a federal hourly minimum wage. It also violates the Constitution as it forces states to pay their workers higher wages at the expense of state budgets, services and governmental programs.

Obama actually put this in motion a couple of years ago when he told his Labor Department to change this exception for “white collar” state employees. The department has now raised the minimum salary cutoff for overtime by more than double. The new rule also forces states to raise that cutoff even higher every three years.

As of now, starting December 1, 2016, all state employees will be entitled to overtime if they earn up to $913 per week regardless of whether they have “executive, administrative, or professional” responsibilities.

State government estimates peg the number of workers impacted at a minimum of 500 and reaching into the thousands, per state. Iowa projects its budget hit to be over $19 million, other states likely a lot more. 

States such as Nevada – dependent on its tourism industry – would be hit very hard. According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses nearly half of all small businesses in Nevada employ at least one person who’d be affected by this new rule. 

Not coincidentally, Nevada – through its Attorney General Adam Laxalt – is the lead plaintiff in this lawsuit. 

In filing the suit Laxalt said: “This rule, pushed by distant bureaucrats in D.C., tramples on state and local government budgets, forcing states to shift money from other important programs to balance their budgets, including programs intended to protect the very families that purportedly benefit from such federal overreach.”

“Federal overreach” is already one of Obama’s legacies as he prepares to leave office. The courts have reined him in before and hopefully will do so again.

Trump Foundation reportedly doesn't have proper paperwork to solicit money

AKA:
Stop Trump at any Cost

Donald Trump’s foundation reportedly never obtained proper certification that the state of New York requires before charities can ask for money from the public.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that the Trump Foundation didn’t obtain registration that’s needed to ask for donations, according to a spokesman for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Funny how they can take such an interest in this and completely overlook The Clinton Foundation which wreaks with corruption including selling our uranium to the Russians!

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/07/25/flashback-clintons-loved-russia-enough-sell-uranium/

Believe me... whatever Trump did or didn't do pales in comparison to the scandals swirling around The Clinton Foundation! Of course, Comey and the MSM are not interested in investigating their candidate. Corruption runs to the very root of our government and no one gives a damn, certainly not the MSM.

The Clinton's 'are above the law' is no longer a snide, off-the-cuff, remark.

It's a statement of fact.

New York law states that any charity that asks for more than $25,000 per year needs to obtain a special registration before soliciting offers. The Trump Foundation, a fairly large charity, must also undergo an audit that asks whether the charity spent any money for personal gain of its top officials. The paper noted that it’s unclear whether the $25,000 was solicited or whether the solicitation occurred in New York.

Schneiderman could order the charity to stop raising money immediately if the allegations turn out to be true. The Democratic attorney general could also make Trump return any money that had been raised.

The Post, citing tax filings, reported that the Trump Foundation had raised more than $25,000 from outsiders in each of the last 10 years. The foundation received more than $2.3 million from companies that owed money to Trump or one of his many businesses, but were instructed to pay the foundation instead, according to the paper.

The Trump Foundation raked in $1.67 million through a website to collect small donations with the promise that it would be funneled to veterans.

From 1987 to 2006, Trump was the sole donor to his foundation – contributing $5.4 million. Under state law, the foundation was only required to have a looser certification and only had to file annual reports with the IRS and state and didn’t need an independent audit.

But starting in 2004, it started to take in smaller donations from others. Money from an autograph seeker was deposited to the Trump Foundation, the Post reported. A year later, the Norwegian Cruise Line donated $100,000 to the Trump Foundation after Melania Trump was named “Godmother” of an ocean liner. Trump stopped donating to his foundation in 2008.

By not obtaining the special certification from New York, the Trump Foundation avoids an audit that can determine whether the foundation engaged in egregious transactions that benefited the Republican presidential nominee or his businesses.

James J. Fishman, a charity law expert and professor at Pace University, told the Post that he was surprised Trump could’ve made the mistake. He added that the errors the foundation seemed to have made are more commonly made by smaller foundations.

“You wouldn’t expect somebody who’s supposed to be sophisticated, and brags about his business prowess, would run his foundation like this.”

Trump has been facing plenty of questions surrounding his foundation. A Washington Post report earlier this week claimed Trump spent $258,000 from his foundation to settle lawsuits that involved his businesses – a move that the Post says may have violated laws against “self-dealing” that bar heads of nonprofits from using charity money to benefit themselves.

The Post cites one instance in which one of Trump’s New York golf courses agreed to settle a lawsuit by making a donation to the plaintiff’s chosen charity. A $158,000 donation subsequently was made by the Trump Foundation. The report also cites an instance in which Trump used $20,000 from the Trump Foundation to buy a six-foot portrait of himself.

The Clinton campaign said the report showed Trump to be a “fraud” and cited it as proof he needs to release his tax returns.

“Trump’s version of charity is taking money from others to settle his own legal issues and buy at least two pictures of himself, which experts say is a clear violation of laws governing charitable organizations,” spokeswoman Christina Reynolds said in a statement.

Trump’s campaign shot back at the report, calling it “peppered with inaccuracies and omissions from a biased reporter” and attempted to turn the spotlight back onto the Clinton Foundation.

"In typical Washington Post fashion, they’ve gotten their facts wrong. It is the Clinton Foundation that is set up to make sure the Clintons personally enrich themselves by selling access and trading political favors,” the statement said. “The Trump Foundation has no paid board, no management fees, no rent or overhead, and no family members on its payroll.”
