WALDMAN: Lou, if I had my own television show, and I knew that there were extremist groups like the John Birch Society and white supremacist groups like the Catholic Conservative Citizens that were cheering me on on their Web site, it would make me want to step back and say, "OK, what am I doing? How can I change to make sure that this debate is responsible in the way it could be?"
DOBBS: Do you like balance? Do you like balance? Do you like balance? Do you like balance?
DOBBS: What have I ever said about illegal aliens? Have I said that illegal aliens, I think, are the most rational actors in this entire mess? Have I said that I have worked with and respect greatly illegal aliens? Have I not said I've got great respect for the work ethic, the family values of most illegal aliens working in this country.
Have I not said that their wages should be increased? Have I not said that we should come to terms with the reality and raise wages of illegal aliens working in fields?
Because you are an ideologue, and a left-wing hack, you will ignore the reality.
DOBBS: Name one of them that you mentioned in your report.
DOBBS: Talking over me a way to avoid the question. I'm asking you, why didn't you include a single element that is positive in your report of the things that I said?
DOBBS: You didn't mention a single one of those things.
DOBBS: What was the crime?
WALDMAN: A whole variety of crimes.
DOBBS: Did that include Ramos and Compean?
WALDMAN: No, it didn't. We excluded any mention of Ramos and Compean from our study. That would have increased numbers. That would have increased numbers.
DOBBS: There were all kinds of different stories that you did about undocumented immigrants and crime.
DOBBS: Paul, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Do you read "The New York Times"?
DOBBS: Do you read "The Washington Post"?
DOBBS: Do you read "Newsweek", "TIME"?
WALDMAN: Every once in a while.
DOBBS: Good. How many of those publications have had a report on the impact of illegal immigration in communities across the country, on the economy and the impact of having 95 percent of the cargo entering this country be uninspected, our ports to be insecure?
How many of those publications have reported on the fact that Mexico is the primary source, not only of illegal immigration into this country, but the primary source of methamphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, and heroin, and our borders remain insecure almost seven years after September 11?
Does it -- does it strike you as curious that they have not reported on the issue?
DOBBS: Illegal immigration. Illegal immigration.
WALDMAN: That's why it's so important that your voice be the most responsible out there. DOBBS: Well, I think we are.
DOBBS: There are going to be people who look at what you're doing as a member of Media Matters, a left-wing group, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which is advocating open borders and amnesty for illegal immigrants. And it is the only basis in which they have and you have in this debate.
You have the temerity to sit here on this broadcast talking to me about illegal immigration. You've done one report, and it was on this broadcast. And that's your only connection and understanding of the subject that's far more complex than you will acknowledge. That's a shame.
WALDMAN: Lou, it's not about whether there's somebody whose more of an expert on immigration than you are.
DOBBS: ... what it's about.
WALDMAN: We're a media watchdog organization.
DOBBS: You're not a media watchdog organization. You're a left wing. I mean, what's the title of the last book you wrote? What's the title of the last book you wrote?
WALDMAN: The last book I wrote was called "Free Ride: The Media and John McCain." The relationship between media and John McCain.
DOBBS: What was the previous book you wrote?
DOBBS: What was the previous book you wrote? You don't want to answer.
WALDMAN: ... a fascinating subject. I would love to come onto your show and talk about it some more. But now we're talking about immigration.
DOBBS: No, we're through talking. And I appreciate it. Good to have you with us. Paul Waldman.
DOBBS: We'll be right back in just a moment. Stay with us. It's going to get even better.
DOBBS: Well, joining me now to talk about the progress of -- that's right, progress of the war in Iraq, I'm joined by former general, David Grange.
Good to have you with us, General.
GEN. DAVID GRANGE (RET.), U.S. ARMY: Thank you, Lou.
DOBBS: David Petraeus, it looks like he's having real impact. We're not hearing a lot about it, but casualties are down. Last week, one of the best weeks of this war in terms of casualties. What's going on?
GRANGE: Well, the surge is working, even though it's just a military surge. You know, if we want better results, we want to withdraw quicker, I think we need to put some more, other governmental agencies involved with more resources in order to fill out the surge.
DOBBS: Well, General, good luck, because the State Department's having trouble staffing that great big old embassy over there. If you want State Department folks, it looks like you may have some uphill work.
GRANGE: Well, it's -- resourcing is obligated to give to the Department of State, and they do need other training programs to build their force. They've been underresourceed for years.
DOBBS: Well, here is -- on another issue. Let's take a listen to what General Petraeus had to say today about Iran.
GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS, CMDR. MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE-IRAQ: Iran continues to be a destabilizing influence in the region. It persists in its nontransparent pursuit of nuclear technology and continues to fund, train and arm dangerous militia organizations.
DOBBS: What are we supposed to do with that?
GRANGE: Then we take -- make sure that we take the diplomatic informational (ph), military and economic measures to make sure Iran understands the line in the sand that must be drawn.
DOBBS: All right. Let's turn to something else.
I was talking with Senator Jim Webb here last night, and they stripped the Iraq War Funding Bill and added the G.I. Bill.
Are you for it or against it -- the G.I. Bill and improving it for our veterans?
GRANGE: Well -- it's deserved, it's something that the country owes the G.I. It's the nation's responsibility. But the problem is they better make sure they don't underfund other programs that are required for readiness in order to do this.
GRANGE: So yes, I support it.
DOBBS: And -- Senator John McCain, fighting the legislation. Do you think it will cost him the vote of veterans?
GRANGE: It'll cost some votes I'm sure about it. But I think people will come around because it's the right thing to do.
DOBBS: Well, I hope he comes around.
You're saying he'll come around?
GRANGE: I said I hope he'll come around, yes sir.
DOBBS: Well, one would hope everyone would, to support our men and women in uniform.
General Grange, as always it's great to have you with us. Appreciate it.
GRANGE: Thank you, Lou, and thank you for the subject tonight.
Thanks for being with us tonight. Join us tomorrow.
Play­ers from 'Seed of Great­ness' lived up to their name by cop­ping the li­on's share of awards at the 2018 BPTT Raza­ck Jan Memo­r­i­al Ma­yaro Foot­ball League held on Sat­ur­day at the Ma­yaro Re­source Cen­tre.
In ad­di­tion to the Se­nior Team Cham­pi­onship ti­tle, the team al­so won all the ma­jor in­di­vid­ual awards on of­fer, in on­ly its first time in the League.
The team re­ceived $13,000 and the cham­pi­onship tro­phy for their achieve­ment, while strik­er Shawn Out­ar got the awards for Most Valu­able Play­er (MVP) and Most Goals, hav­ing scored 10 times in the tour­na­ment, which in­clud­ed two hat-tricks.
Mean­while, Aaron Ali has al­so vot­ed the di­vi­sion’s Best Goal­keep­er, which added to the team's tro­phy haul on the day.
Or­gan­ised by Il­lu­sions In­ter­na­tion­al Sports Club, the BPTT Raza­ck Jan Memo­r­i­al Ma­yaro Foot­ball League has been on­go­ing for the past 20 years, and has re­ceived ma­jor sup­port from the All-Ma­yaro Sports Foun­da­tion, a com­mu­ni­ty-based NGO, charged by BPTT with the re­spon­si­bil­i­ty of fa­cil­i­tat­ing and guid­ing sports de­vel­op­ment in the wider Ma­yaro re­gion.
Maguaya won the Un­der-16 crown, tak­ing home $5,000 and the cham­pi­onship tro­phy while Chivas emerged vic­to­ri­ous in the Un­der-14 Di­vi­sion, and al­so re­ceived a cheque for $5,000 and a tro­phy. How­ev­er, there were no win­ners in the Un­der-12 Di­vi­sion, as all four teams were giv­en an in­cen­tive of $1,000 each for par­tic­i­pa­tion.
Renice Di­di­er, the Seed of Great­ness coach/man­ag­er at­trib­uted the team’s per­for­mance to hard work, prepa­ra­tion and a de­ter­mi­na­tion to live their name. “The boys put in a lot of hard work be­fore the sea­son be­gan and we made a pledge to live up to the team’s name. This is the first year we com­pet­ed in Ma­yaro and we in­tend to re­tain our crown next year,” Di­di­er said.
Patrice Charles, Act­ing Di­rec­tor of Phys­i­cal Ed­u­ca­tion and Sports, Min­istry of Sports & Youth Af­fairs, com­mend­ed BPTT for its part­ner­ship with the league for 20 years and en­cour­aged oth­er cor­po­rate en­ti­ties to get in­volved in sport­ing and oth­er com­mu­ni­ty pro­grammes, not on­ly in Ma­yaro but in oth­er parts of the coun­try.
“Ini­tia­tives like these, along with a trea­sured spon­sor like BPTT, are vi­tal for the de­vel­op­ment of young men and women,” Charles point­ed out.
Ron­dell Mendez; Most Dis­ci­plined Team: Chivas.

EXCLUSIVE: David Banner Explains Importance Of Role In New Movie "Never Heard"
David Banner continues to diversify his body of work.
(AllHipHop News) The rapper/producer is set to star in the upcoming film, "Never Heard."
"Never Heard" will also feature Karrueche Tran, Robin Givens, and Dijon Talton.
A faith-based film directed by Josh Webber, "Never Heard" centers around Banner's character, Aaron Davis, who is incarcerated for a crime he claims he did not commit.
"You know how in a lot of stories they just talk about black folks’ problems? There is no closure, there’s no redemption, there is no explanation why. Well, Africans didn’t get off those boats acting like this," David Banner told AllHipHop.
Romeo Miller will play Jalen, the son of Banners’ character, who grows up without his father in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Miller's character comes face to face with his father’s lifestyle when his best friend comes to be in debt to the neighborhood drug dealer.
As Aaron, David Banner depicts the life of a man imprisoned by a system that has wrongfully convicted him of a crime.
"Initially when I had an opportunity to see the role, I was a little apprehensive. Only because I was playing someone who was getting out of prison," David Banner said. "And for me being a 6ft2 black man that’s not a comedian. In most cases, they try to typecast us into dope dealers and killers."
Aaron is moved to rely heavily on his faith throughout this conflict, and his lawyer, who ultimately, is the bridge between Aaron and his freedom.
"Never Heard" will be air for one day only, on November 1, 2018.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Looking to inject a fresh arm into their overworked bullpen, the Mets activated Jim Henderson from the disabled list and demoted fellow right-handed reliever Erik Goeddel to Triple-A Las Vegas Saturday before facing the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.
Henderson opened the season in the Mets bullpen and posted a 4.26 ERA with 30 strikeouts and 13 walks over 25 1/3 innings before landing on the disabled list on June 21 with right biceps tendonitis. Henderson then hit another speed bump when he suffered a hamstring injury while rehabbing his shoulder issue.
Now healthy, the 33-year-old Henderson went 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in eight rehab games with Las Vegas. Manager Terry Collins said he will likely use Henderson in the seventh inning, the role he filled before getting injured.
"He threw the ball great," Collins said. "He threw the ball very, very well until the shoulder kind of started acting up. He had a good outing the other night. [51s manager] Wally [Backman] says his velocity is really back to where it was when he left spring training, which is a big part of his game. He's not a finesse guy by any stretch, he's a power pitcher, and right now our bullpen could use a fresh arm."
Goeddel, 26, had hit a rough patch over his last three relief appearances, allowing five runs over 1 1/3 innings. Goeddel has posted a 4.18 ERA in 28 innings for the Mets this season.
There is plenty of speculation over whether teacher-accountability systems should include evaluations from students. Students, the argument in favor of the idea goes, are the best and most logical judges of teacher effectiveness since they are actually in the learning environment.
If that is true, high school teachers in Providence, R.I., just got a failing mark from their students.
A student-sponsored survey in the district found that high schoolers are generally not happy with their teachers.
The survey collected information from nearly 1,700 students, or about 21 percent of the city's public high schoolers. Common complaints included: Teachers don't explain information clearly, rely too heavily on handouts and textbooks in class instead of hands-on lessons, and sometimes make discouraging comments.
There were some positive findings. For instance, some students indicated that there are, in every school, effective teachers who are skilled in their craft and dedicated to student learning.
Also, youths at schools with fewer students consistently reported a higher level of satisfaction in all categories, like receiving help, teachers being encouraging, and more hands-on learning.
Asking students if they are happy with their teachers is like asking patients if they enjoy the medicine prescribed by their physicians. Students who don't meets standards and expectations need to be told the truth even when it makes them unhappy. A bruised ego is a small price to pay when getting a quality education is concerned, unless society plans to give these unhappy children welfare for their lifetimes.
