Salary comes from sal which is Latin for salt. Legend has it that the legionaries of Rome got their pay in sodium chloride. It’s disputed. Some say the word comes from the stipend the soldiers received to buy salt. Some say it referred to all provisions supplied to Roman governors.
All agree salt was pretty valuable back in the day.

Christians Kept Alive To Harvest Organs
Christians Kept Alive To Harvest Organs — We posted a story a story about how Planned Parenthood was found to have been keeping aborted babies alive long enough to harvest their organs.
The depravity is world-wide.
On Feb. 5, the Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese prisoners — including prisoners of conscience such as Falun Gong members, Uighur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists and “underground” Christians — have been apparently been subjected to medical experiments and forced removal of organs.
The author of the piece, Benedict Rogers, notes that China claims that there are 6,000 official organ donors but one hospital alone –Tianjin First Center — performs 6,000 transplants a year.
The Journal says that there are 711 other hospitals that perform organ transplants.
The US performs 40,000 transplants annually. It is believed that China will surpass that next year.
“Death-row inmates cannot account for all of these,” Rogers wrote. “China executes more people than the rest of the world combined, but still only about a few thousand a year.”
Rogers said that Chinese-speaking researchers in 2016 posed as organ buyers and directly asked if organs from Falun Gong practitioners could be arranged for transplant.
“Hospitals throughout China confirmed they had such organs available, no problem,” he wrote.
Mmany of the customers for these organs are foreigners. Yes, including Americans.

Babies Kept Alive To Harvest Organs
Babies Kept Alive To Harvest Organs — The wonderful Laura Ingraham, yesterday, Feb. 12, posted on Twitter a link to a 2015 Washington Times story about how Planned Parenthood keeps aborted babies alive to harvest organs.
Which they of course sell.
And now it makes clear the push for legal infanticide.
There are people who have positions of power and influence in our country who are no different than Nazis.
The sickness and evil that is being revealed makes one numb.
Planned Parenthood is an organization with about $1.4 billion in revenue with more than $500 million coming from tax dollars.
Planned Parenthood and affiliated organizations donated $30 million to the Democrat Party in 2018.
Someone explain how exactly is it acceptable for a organization that gets a half-billion in tax money be allowed to make political donations.

GOP Misogyny Is My Experience In Montco
GOP Misogyny Is My Experience In Montco
By Susan Jane Goldner
So, let me get this straight . . .
The former MontCo Chair Vereb, who resigned to take a cushy position created for him under our very progressive liberal state Attorney General Josh Shapiro in ‘15 (year we lost every row office) is allowed to get away with slander and libel against a sitting incumbent Republican Joe Gale running for re-election for County Commissioner and I’m not allowed to critique candidates up for office as a Committeewoman? Got it. But I suppose I’m not allowed to screenshot THEIR posts…
See what’s going on, folks?
The “protection of women” statement by Vereb is remarkable considering I was physically assaulted by one top party leader at the last party convention in May ‘18, called derogatory names as well by the same sleazebag, then five months later told to “shut my stupid mouth” by my State Rep’s husband who also sat on my committee for questioning legislation. Both of these men are in their late years and are why we’re in the God-awful situation we’re in. There is no such thing as protection of women in PA politics that I’ve ever known of.
Vote Joe Gale is certainly not the problem.
The greasy old men in the GOP are the problem, along with the fact that the swamp can’t simply disagree and agree to let the people decide. They have to resort to blackmail, intimidation, and extortion to remove candidates and committeepeople they don’t want. And the women who do not stand up for other women when they witness verbal, sexual, physical assaults are right there beside them.
