So, who are the winners and losers when it comes to US jobs? Native-born Americans or "immigrants"? Here's the answer.
Britain's longest-serving monarch: Queen Elizabeth II.
Juan Williams writes that #BlackLivesMatter is "playing with fire." He's correct about that, but, wow, does he miss the point. He is simply worried that #BlackLivesMatter will ultimately lead to a lower black voter turnout and possible loss of crucial elections. That's the least of anyone's worries. It is clear that #BlackLivesMatter is now #PigsInABlanketFryThemLikeBacon. I can't think of anything much worse to really, really polarize race relations in this country. Even mainstream African-American and folks like my wife who have concerns about police brutality probably can't go along with #PigsInABlanketFryThemLikeBacon. The sad reality is that pigs in a blanket/fry them like bacon will now become something (some) kids and (some) adults will joke about whenever they see police men and women. That's a visual one can't get out of one's head. It's one thing to voice concerns about police brutality, it's quite different to talk about frying them like bacon.

$400 Million Urea Fertilizer Plant In The Works For Beulah, North Dakota -- September 7, 2015
Another huge project slated for western North Dakota. The Bismarck Tribune is reporting:
Some thought it would be better to build permanent housing for those folks, despite the fact that most of them would be on site for less then 18 months, maybe less than 12 months.
My suggestion: lodge them in Bismarck -- it's just an hour away.

DGC’s owner Basin Electric Power Cooperative is building the [$400 million] urea plant near Beulah, North Dakota, to take advantage of byproducts from the process of making natural gas from lignite coal.
The article has to do with a proposed man-camp for all those workers, but the man-camp was voted down by the Beulah Planning and Zoning Board: the Beulah folks loved the concept -- the idea of a man-camp -- but NIMBY.The project’s been in the works for two years and with site preparation now wrapping up, trade workers are moving in, said communications manager Joan Dietz. In varying numbers, with up to 750 at peak, they’ll be on site through 2016, she said.
