The ceaseless focus on ISIS and Al Qaeda filtered down to local law enforcement. The administration’s much-touted “countering violent extremism” agenda was directed at various threats. But “the language heavily focused on recruitment and radicalization by ISIS and Al Qaeda,” recalls Nate Snyder, a counterterrorism adviser to the Obama administration at the Department of Homeland Security from 2009 through 2017. As early as 2010, he says, his office was receiving calls from police officers asking for help in many Southern and Midwestern states. “They’d be like, ‘Thanks for that stuff on Al Qaeda, but what I really need to know is how to handle the Hammerskin population in my jurisdiction,’ ” he says, referring to the white-supremacist skinhead group.

At Truthdig, Norman Solomon wrote: “As the cable news network most trusted by Democrats as a liberal beacon, MSNBC plays a special role in fueling rage among progressive-minded viewers toward Russia’s ’attack on our democracy’ that is somehow deemed more sinister and newsworthy than corporate dominance of American politics (including Democrats), racist voter suppression, gerrymandering and many other U.S. electoral defects all put together.”

So how much did all this cost to build? Well, I saved all the receipts for everything I bought related to this project.

In December 2016, less than six months after getting out of prison, Fears went to his first Richard Spencer event, on the campus of Texas A&M. More so-called free-speech events followed, where young white men in red MAGA hats and polo shirts descended upon college campuses or progressive enclaves in otherwise blood-red states: a clean-cut Trumpian army, marching in formation or hurling insults at activists who, outraged by their very presence, would try to fight them.

“I would love to give them back to the government because the paperwork part of it is cumbersome,” Coombs said.

There’re but a handful of washer types you can expect to see on the average Corvette. Flat, fender or dock, finishing or countersunk, lock or split lock, external or internal star lock, and sealing washers. Sealing flat washers are rubber or urethane lined and designed to keep out moisture and isolate vibration.

Methodology Land use classifications are based on data published in 2017 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service in a report called the Major Uses of Land in the United States (MLU). Data from the report provide total land-use acreage estimates for each state across six broad categories. Those totals are displayed per 250,000 acres.

Get familiar with installation. Porch swings hang from either two-chain and four-chain suspension systems. The former design has one chain on each side that branches into two separate chains that attach to the front and back of the armrest. Others use four separate chains; the fasteners on each side support two separate chains—one that connects to the front of the swing and one that connects to the back or bottom.

According to the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2017–2018, a striking worldwide decline in basic human rights has driven an overall decline in the rule of law since October 2016, the month before President Donald Trump’s election.

Have you ever been on a week-long wheeling trip?:Yes, multiple times, just not this far from home. Why do you want to go on Ultimate Adventure?: The Ultimate Adventure series is one that I greatly look forward to every year in the print magazine. The past 2 or 3 years have been great to watch on Youtube. To me it fully represents what the sport/hobby is about. Taking a group of individuals and going on a journey with a varying level of skill, vehicle ability, and driving prowess. There is something to be learned everyday and the UA is a full week of learning. I have been wheeling/off-roading for what equals half of my life now, and yet I have never been on an adventure like this. I have been on multiple week long wheeling/camping trips with friends, but never with a group of like minded strangers. I would love the opportunity to represent my area, my vehicle brand, and myself by being a part of the group. I feel that I have enough experience and capability to be a valid addition to the group, and an overall good companion. I work in outside sales for a living, so I have the ability to take the time for the trip, and use my background to really become a great team member. I have been socially active on Pirate4x4.com since 2002 as "HARVESTER OF SORROW" and am very active on Instagram, Facebook, and various other more local boards. I would be very pro-active in promoting #UA2015 and the brand as a whole. I understand that aspect is crucial to the continued success of the UA series. Lastly, to be given the opportunity to be a member of the 2015 UA would be a dream come true. For back in 2003/2004, before the internet, I applied to be a part of the Camel Trophy series. Though so unrealistic at the time, it was still a dream. Hand writing the application, sending in color shots of some wheeling adventures, licking the envelope and affixing a stamp squarely on the corner…so romantic. Then I had my first son. Then my second. Then, well you know the rest of the story, life just happens, and we struggle to different degrees to just get things done. Now my boys are 17 and 14…and I think it is time to go on that adventure.

But none of the three rulings that would have helped the Celtics retain their hard-fought lead was forthcoming on the critical play. Instead, the worst scenario for Boston took place – a possible three-point possession to lose the game instead of at the very worst, going to overtime had Jabbar made both free throws. The Celtics would have been much better off if Jabbar had made the second foul shot to tie it.
