The Stroll
The Steps
The stroll is done in two parallell lines (leads on one side, follows across the divide.) A simple basic step-pattern is performed in such a fashion that the line advances, or moves one pace with each pattern. Individuals on each end pair up and perform a "shine" routine as they proceed down the line; at the end, they separate and rejoin the lines. This formulation is part of many "contra" dances that were done in the US and Europe for centures. Thus, in one sense, the Stroll has been with us for a long time.
Here is our best verbal attempt to capture the essence of the "stroll step" -- it will help you decipher the video link given below. If you can improve on this, or if you have an instructional video, please Contact Us and we'll be glad to put it on the site!
Stand, feet about 24" apart. (this is "open")- Cross right over left (i.e. weight on left, cross with right and go back to open stance)
- Back to "open"
- Cross right over left
- Back to "open"
- Left foot behind and to the right of your right foot
- hold, weight on left, almost leaning back
- Move right foot to the right so that you are standing with feet apart, left slightly behind you must move the right foot so that it is about 10-12 inches from where it started
- Move left foot forward, in same line as right to "open"
You are now standing with feet apart in open stance but about a foot to the right of where you started The next bar (8 counts) is the mirror image
- Cross with Left over right
- Back to "open"
- Cross with left over Right
- Back to "open"
- Step right 12 "
- Left behind right, weight on left
- hold, weight on left, almost lean back
- step with left to "open"
The opposite line does the mirror image of this. Boys in one line, girls in the other.
At the top of the next bar, the persons on each end join in closed position and execute twirls, promenades, etc, etc as they proceed to the far end of the lines where they separate and become part of the line again. With each bar, the line advances so that a new couple forms and begins the promenade.
Here is a video of Dick Clark talking about the Stroll while the kids on Bandstand perform it.

And you [= the Erinyes], if you have a place of honor [tīmē] |855 at the house of Erekhtheus, you will be honored by the processions of men and women and you will have more honor than you would ever have from other mortals. So, do not place on my land whetstones that hone my peoples’ desire for bloodshed, harmful to the insides |860 of young men, making them lose their minds with passionate feelings caused not by wine; and do not turn my people into fighting-cocks, making reckless internecine war [Arēs] for them, so that they kill each other. If there is war [Arēs], let it be with outsiders, and let it keep on happening, |865 since war brings a terrific passion for genuine glory [kleos]; but I say there will be no bird-fights in my dwelling place [oikos]. I make it possible for you to choose to do [drân] good and to be treated [paskhein] well and with genuine honor [tīmē] to share in this land that is most dear [philē] to the gods.

We are pleased to review, “Heroic aberration in the Agamemnon of Aeschylus” and, “Looking beyond the cult hero in the Libation Bearers and the Eumenides of Aeschylus'."
Prof. Nagy introduces the key word, "atē, the meaning of which can be interpreted as ‘aberration, derangement, veering off-course; disaster; punishment for disaster’." And, another key word is "tīmē, plural tīmai, ‘honor; honor paid to a superhuman force by way of cult’."

Left Insanity
On the surface, it looks like the left has simply gone insane since losing November's election.
Pop singer Madonna boasts to millions she has "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House" and a Black Lives Matter activist with a bullhorn exhorts protesters to "start killing people" and "start killing the White House." Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters, calling President Donald Trump's Cabinet picks a "bunch of scumbags," demands impeachment proceedings begin immediately. Leftist comedians call 10-year-old Barron Trump a "rapist" and "homeschool shooter." Hysterical comparisons of Trump to genocidal monster Adolf Hitler occur daily. Hillary Clinton's VP running mate, Tim Kaine, encourages anti-Trumpers to "fight in the streets," while left-wing thugs – viciously destroying storefronts like Nazi Stormtroopers and preventing political opponents from exercising their constitutional right to free speech – ironically accuse the law-abiding people they attack of being "fascists."
All rage, all the time – an entire political party gone mad.
However, the drama of the left's delusional frenzy masks something far more malevolent: Americans are witnessing an attempted coup d'etat – a widespread, concerted, well-funded effort to sabotage the presidency of Donald Trump.
As Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Goodwin puts it, what the nation is experiencing goes far beyond mere "Trump Derangement Syndrome." "It’s not a temporarily insane reaction," explains Goodwin. "It’s a calculated plan to wreck the presidency, whatever the cost to the country."
While the most obvious players in this new civil war are Democratic politicians (and even a few Republicans), the absurdly partisan establishment news media and panic-stricken left-wing entertainment celebrities who threaten to kill the president and leave the country, much more is going on behind the scenes.
Other more hidden players in what has been described as a "rolling coup attempt" against Trump include parts of the Obama administration's intelligence community – including the NSA and CIA – as well as rogue elements in the Justice Department and many other departments of the entrenched government establishment, popularly dubbed the "deep state."
Even more shocking: Whereas virtually all past presidents whether Republican or Democrat have gracefully stepped aside in favor of Americans' newly elected commander in chief, Barack Obama has become a prime leader of "the Resistance." As Whistleblower documents, Obama has mobilized over 30,000 agitators to fight Trump at every turn – an "army" Obama intends to command from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.
"The left, having turned its back on traditional American Judeo-Christian values, derives its illusion of righteousness from being pathologically angry at everything it disagrees with," commented Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian, who added: "Being very angry creates counterfeit feelings of both righteousness and strength."
"Unfortunately," said Kupelian, "there's a really good reason the word 'mad' means both angry and crazy. Being super angry eventually just makes you crazy. That's what has happened to the left. Not only have they gone mad, but since November, they're now big-time losers as well. So now they're both mad and desperate – and obsessed with revenge."

During the summer last year, the Obama administration filed a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Trump and several advisers but the request was denied, according to Heat Street former editor, Louise Mensch.
Just a day before the 2016 election, Mensch reported that 'sources with links to the counter-intelligence community' confirmed that a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) had granted a FISA court warrant in October to monitor activities in Trump tower.

Only 40 of 3,000 Are Reform Mosques
declaration-of-the-muslim-reform-movement-signed-by-aifd-december-4-2015
The “Muslim Pledge for Religious Freedom and Safety from Harm for Former Muslims” – “The Freedom Pledge” – was sent out to Muslim leaders nationwide, on a rolling basis. A list of the recipients is posted and updated regularly, with the date the letter was sent.The first set of letters was received by Muslim leaders on September 25, 2009, with a second set sent October 20, 2009. Over 125 letters were sent to Muslim leaders nationwide in 2009. Click here to view the list of 2009 recipients.Another set of letters was sent on July 4, 2012. This time it was sent to 234 Muslim leaders. Check here to view the list of 2012 recipients
How many leaders responded? Two. To date, only two Muslims have signed the pledge: Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and Dr. Ali Alyami of the Center for Democracy & Human Rights in Saudi Arabia. Prominent Muslim leaders lauded as “moderates” such as Muslim Brotherhood-tied Dalia Mogahed have been criticized for not showing support for the pledge.
MUSLIM REFORM GROUP REACHED OUT TO 3,000 US MOSQUES, GOT ONLY 40 RESPONSES BY STEPHEN M. KIRBY, JIHAD WATCH, FEBRUARY 24, 2017
In December 2015, a small group of Muslims met in Washington, DC to discuss the reform of Islam. With media fanfare, they named themselves the Muslim Reform Movement (MRM), issued a Declaration for Muslim Reform, and became the new face of “Muslim reformers.”There was just one fundamental problem: the MRM never had support from the larger Muslim community.Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, one of the MRM founders, admitted this on January 30, 2017, when he was interviewed in an article in The Federalist about the MRM’s recent one year anniversary: A Muslim Reformer Speaks Out About His Battle Against Islamism And PC. Jasser was asked about how many mosques the MRM had initially approached for support in 2015 and the nature of the responses from those mosques. Jasser’s answer was eye-opening:We spent significant resources on this outreach over a period of ten months. We reached out through snail mail, e-mail, and telephone to over 3,000 mosques and over 500 known public American Muslims. We received only 40-plus rather dismissive responses from our outreach, and sadly less than ten of them were positive. In fact, one mosque in South Carolina left us a vicious voice mail threatening our staff if we contacted them again.So the MRM made over 3,500 contacts within the Muslim community, but received only a little over 40 responses, of which less than ten were positive. So to work with these numbers, let’s say the MRM made 3,500 contacts and received nine positive responses. That means that only .0026 (a touch over one-quarter of one percent) of the Muslim organizations and Muslim individuals the MRM contacted responded in a positive manner. And the MRM had even received a “vicious voicemail” from a mosque as a result of these initial contacts.The irrelevance of the MRM was further revealed when Jasser was asked about the MRM’s accomplishments during the first year of its existence. Jasser stated:Our greatest accomplishment to date is our declaration.The MRM’s declaration is a two page document created at their first meeting, posted on the door of a nearby mosque (and quickly removed), and available on the websites of various Muslim “reform” organizations. As I noted in my first article about the MRM, this declaration is “a document that rejected Muhammad’s Islam in favor of Western, Judeo-Christian values,” and in terms of Islamic doctrine, it is rife with blasphemy.Jasser also admitted that after a year of the MRM’s existence,we are disappointed in the relative silence from most Muslim leaders…Jasser blamed a lack of money for the poor support from the Muslim community:I can guess why we had shortcomings in outreach. If we had more funding, we could study this more scientifically…No one knows truly how that majority of Muslims feels about Islamist ideologies. National security is in desperate need of helping us study that. …We have not been able to effectively reach out to the majority of Muslims because of resources and the absence of effective platforms.So for the sake of “national security,” the MRM needs to study the attitudes of Muslims in order to find out why the MRM has been generally rejected by those Muslims. And in order for the MRM to complete this study, they need money. The money has to, by default, come from non-Muslims.But I would like to save the MRM time and non-Muslims money. Instead of a new study on why the MRM has virtually no Muslim support, I will provide the answer: in terms of Islamic doctrine, the MRM declaration is blasphemous, and the MRM should not be surprised that over 99% of the larger Muslim community does not want to join in with that blasphemy.It is only attention from the non-Muslim world that will enable the Muslim Reform Movement to remain on life-support, visible but irrelevant.

Georgetown Islamist Professor Endorses Slavery
Georgetown Islamist
A professor at Georgetown University is teaching his students that men do not need consent to have sex with women, and that slavery is justifiable under Islamic teachings.
Brown himself uploaded the lecture to YouTube.
According to Lee, Brown’s lecture was supposed to revolve around slavery in Islam, but the lecturer moved its focus to criticize the United States, United Kingdom and China. Brown described slavery in these non-Muslim societies as brutal, which they were, but lauded the historically inhumane practice in Arab lands and Turkey.
“Indeed, according to Brown, slaves in the Muslim world lived a pretty good life,” wrote Lee. “I thought the Muslim community was done with this dishonest North Korean style of propaganda. Obviously not.”…
The Islamic Studies professor said that in Muslim societies, “slavery wasn’t racialized,” unlike the United States. Lee points out that this is untrue, given that in the Arab world, black people are referred to as “abeed,” the Arab word for “slave.”Brown stated that slaves were “protected by Sharia,” omitting the various atrocities committed by slave-owners. Girls and women were forced into the sex trade and their male counterparts were often castrated.
“In general you don’t find the brutality that you see in American slavery,” said Brown, who described the historically common practice as “investments” and “walking venture properties” for slave-owners….
Historically, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams conducted warfare against vassal states of the Ottoman Empire to end the Barbary slave trade, in which North African pirates conducted constant raids into European coastal towns to capture men and women for slavery.Brown defended slavery, stating, “It’s not immoral for one human to own another human” by comparing it to marriage—a quid pro quo arrangement in which both slave and master benefited from the arrangement.
“I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody because we own lots of people all around us and we’re owned by people,” said Brown.
A female attendee asked Brown about the permissibility of sex with slaves, to which the professor stated that “Consent isn’t necessary for lawful sex,” and defined consent as a Western concept that emerged with women’s suffrage and female body autonomy. Brown, he said, believes that marital rape was an invalid concept in Islam.
Had Prof. Brown’s words been spoken by a practicing member of any other religion, they would’ve lost their jobs and shunned out of the academic world.
