Sex Cult Gillbrand and Tillis of NC offering a watered down bill which misses the mark on sexual abuse of children in the military.

Wonder why?

And check out the author of this article below:

 

Congress must confront sexual abuse of military children

 

A bipartisan bill by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) seeks to prevent child abuse and address domestic violence within military families. That’s a worthwhile mission that demands our full attention but the legislation is a missed opportunity to confront one of the most important challenges facing the sons and daughters of our service members. And until members of Congress have the courage to step forward and call it by its name — child sexual abuse — we will continue to fail thousands of at-risk military children and families who deserve better.

The Military Family PROTECT Act proposes to strengthen the military’s handling and prosecution of child abuse and domestic violence claims. The bill’s sponsors argue these provisions will help “ensure that every base and every military region has a plan and the tools they need to fight these horrific crimes.”

 

Yet the bill overlooks the specific problem of child sexual abuse in the military, and offers no plan to attack it head-on.

 

Author: Lyndon Haviland, MPH, DrPH, is an advocate for public health and is the former CEO of Darkness to Light, a nonprofit that aims to prevent child sexual abuse.

Obama shares list of books he's reading

 

Barack Obama shared a list on Saturday of five books and one article he has read recently.

The former president often shares what he is reading, watching or listening to. He said that the list of books he’s chosen in recent months is “slightly heavier” than his summer picks.

 

“There’s so much good writing and art and variety of thought out there these days that this is by no means comprehensive,” he wrote on Facebook. “Like many of you, I’ll miss ‘The Americans.’”

Obama’s picks, all non-fiction, covered a range of topics, from personal memoir to economic inequality.

One of the books, written by Jennifer Kavanagh and Michael D. Rich of the global policy think tank the RAND Corporation, details the authors’ research into “the diminishing role of facts” in American life.

“The title is self-explanatory, but the findings are very interesting,” Obama wrote of “Truth Decay: An Initial Exploration of the Diminishing Role of Facts and Analysis in American Public Life.”

 

“A look at how a selective sorting of facts and evidence isn’t just dishonest, but self-defeating to a society that has always worked best when reasoned debate and practical problem-solving thrive,” he added.

Obama also listed “Why Liberalism Failed,” by conservative writer and political scientist Patrick Deneed. He wrote that while he doesn’t agree with “most” of Deneen’s arguments, he found the book “thought-provoking.”

“The book offers cogent insights into the loss of meaning and community that many in the West feel, issues that liberal democracies ignore at their own peril,” Obama wrote.

Also on the list: “Futureface: A Family Mystery, an Epic Quest, and the Secret to Belonging,” by Alex Wagner; “The New Geography of Jobs,” by Enrico Moretti; “The 9.9 Percent Is the New American Aristocracy,” by Matthew Stewart of The Atlantic; and “In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History” by former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
