A-listers flock to Google summit in private jets, mega yachts to talk climate change
"The world’s rich and famous have flocked to a posh Italian resort to talk about saving Mother Earth — but they sure are punishing her in the process.
The billionaire creators of Google have invited a who’s who of A-list names— including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry — to the Sicilian seaside for a mega-party they’ve dubbed Google Camp.
...“Everything is about global warming, that is the major topic this year,” a source told The Post.
Their three-day summer camp will cost the tech giant some $20 million, sources said.
...But according to Italian press reports, the attendees were expected to show up in 114 private jets, and 40 had arrived by Sunday..."

The Democratic Washing Machine – American Greatness

The Democratic Washing Machine – American Greatness
"What on earth is a Democratic washing machine? 
...No. 
Nothing so grand. 
The Democratic washing machine is just that: a washing machine. 
...An over-engineered monstrosity, inflicting inconvenience and expense into something that, for earlier generations, had become easy and cheap.
The Democratic washing machine is so named because it was Democrats who decided to ruin a durable product in a mature industry. 
In the name of saving electricity and saving water, they couldn’t save just a little electricity and a little water. 
No, they had to force manufacturers to create a product that used almost no water. 
...The Democratic washing machine is front-loading instead of top-loading, because that will save a few gallons of water, but your clothes flop around inside a drum that’s on a horizontal axis. 
Clothes get damaged and they don’t get very clean, and you have to get onto your knees on the floor to load and unload them, but hey, if you do this, the ice caps won’t melt, right?
...What is this madness? 
...Since when was it in the interest of consumers to use washing machines that are confusing to operate, difficult to load and unload, do a poor job washing clothes, damage fabrics, break down every few months, can’t really be repaired at home by “owners,” and inflict lifetime costs many times what legacy machines cost?..."

New poll has bad news for Democrats' impeachment hopes after Mueller testimony - TheBlaze

New poll has bad news for Democrats' impeachment hopes after Mueller testimony - TheBlaze:

If Democrats thought forcing ex-special counsel Robert Mueller to publicly testify about his investigation last week would create a groundswell of support for impeachment, then a new poll released Sunday shows they made a severe miscalculation.

Higher ed economist: ‘Universities increasingly lie and cheat’ because they get away with it | The College Fix

Higher ed economist: ‘Universities increasingly lie and cheat’ because they get away with it | The College Fix
"...One symptom of this moral decline – if not a cause – “is that universities increasingly lie and cheat, both their customers (students) and the general public,” the Ohio University emeritus professor writes for the Independent Institute.

His prime example is the University of Oklahoma’s 20-year lie about its alumni donations, now the subject of an attempted class-action lawsuit.

But the Sooners aren’t unique in trying to fraudulently inflate their college rankings...

The consequences of lying are relatively trivial in these cases. What can U.S. News or Forbes do? ...

...Colleges entice students to attend implying that it is a relatively risk-free path to a prosperous life, which it is not. Do the colleges tell you up front what their dropout rate is, or point out a large percent of freshmen don’t make it into the sophomore year? Do they point out that a significant portion of their graduates is underemployed? Do they tell us about the risks as well as the rewards?

Baltimore residents reveal how locals really feel about Elijah Cummings with scathing honesty - TheBlaze

Baltimore residents reveal how locals really feel about Elijah Cummings with scathing honesty - TheBlaze:

But what do Baltimore residents have to say? They agree with the president.
"What he said was definitely true. [Cummings] hasn't done anything for us," one Baltimore resident named Michelle told Baltimore County Republican Central Committee member Kimberly Klacik of Trump's tweets.
"As far as the houses and everything, like I said, [Cummings] has never done anything for not even one person that I know of. I never heard anybody say anything about him," Michelle explained. "And people want to talk about Donald Trump ... why is [Cummings] over there taking care of people at the border? We hungry. We need a place to stay."

SEPTEMBER 13, 2016-----For Decades, Liberals Have Shamelessly Called Republicans Racists

For Decades, Liberals Have Shamelessly Called Republicans Racists
"Hillary Clinton’s recent attack on Trump voters -- calling them “deplorables” and accusing the GOP nominee of building “his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and giving a national platform to hateful views and voices” -- isn’t rooted in reality. 
It’s just another instance of liberals labeling Republicans as racists.

Something they’ve been doing effectively for decades.

...As result of this racist labeling, conservatives have lost their moral authority, and their voices have been stifled in the public square.

This chilling effect has been exacerbated during the Obama presidency, as people have been afraid to criticize a black president because they don’t want to be called a racist.

...Buckley Vs. Vidal: The Labeling Agenda

To help you see how this labeling by the Left has been transforming political discourse and altering the perception of conservatism in the minds of Americans, I’d like to go back to 1968 to give you a snapshot of labeling and to apply it to the bigger picture.

In 1968, a debate occurred at the Republican National Convention between conservative William Buckley and liberal Gore Vidal. 

The environment surrounding the convention and the debate was fraught with racial strife. 

Conflicts between police and blacks had Democrats accusing Republicans of racism, fascism, and neo-Nazism. 

Slanderous, malicious rhetoric was heavy in public dialogue.

Sound familiar? 

While the degree of conflict changes, the essence of it doesn’t. 

Neither do the alarmist and exaggerated depictions of racism on the Right. 

This was evident to Buckley when, just before the debate began, ABC put on the screen images of “police brutality,” creating the impression that there was a “police state” in Chicago run by racist Republicans.

Buckley challenged this assumption:

Democrat Prospects Are Bleak As The Wacky Pack Takes Over
"...the Democrats are in a terrible position.
...What do they do now that the entire soft coup hoax is a heap of garbage smoldering in the dumpster of American politics?
...There is just not a lot of enthusiasm out there in America for a bunch of schemes that generally involve Democrat-disfavored people like you and me paying our hard-earned money to subsidize Democrat-favored demographics like illegal aliens, shiftless bums, snooty academics and militant Maoist pottery majors.
...The congressional Democrats are in a miserable position.
Their party is under internal attack by leftist loons whose approval ratings are on par with syphilis. Their last three years were wasted chasing the collusion chimera.
Their party platform demands Americans give up their doctors, their guns, their cars and their money. 
The only thing they have going for them is that their opponents are the Republicans.
Come to think of it, the odds might actually be in their favor..."

Former Planned Parenthood president reveals how ghoulish the abortion giant really is

Former Planned Parenthood president reveals how ghoulish the abortion giant really is:

It’s not clear if Wen is genuinely surprised at Planned Parenthood’s goal to eschew even the optics of being an organization that provided healthcare while actually focusing more on abortions, but she certainly seems like it. Conservatives have claimed for years, correctly, that Planned Parenthood's sole mission is to perpetuate murder-at-will through abortion for any reason at nearly any cost.

Rat Photo-Bombs Reporter's Live Coverage of Baltimore's Decay

Rat Photo-Bombs Reporter's Live Coverage of Baltimore's Decay
"A rat ran through a live camera shot as a reporter discussed outrage over President Donald Trump’s claim the city of Baltimore, Maryland was rat-infested and needed to be cleaned up.

On Monday, Reporter Maxine Streicher was on-air live in the city’s Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, saying residents think Trump should visit Baltimore and see its condition for himself:

“Now, we spoke with many people today, who say the president should consider coming here to Baltimore, to the Sandtown area, and taking a look at things for himself.”

As the camera panned to a shot of an alley, a rat scurried out from behind a bag of trash, and ran along the wall and around the corner.

John Ratcliffe: AG William Barr will deliver justice to any Obama officials who committed crimes:

A top Republican investigator said accountability is coming for any of those individuals who may have committed crimes during the Trump-Russia investigation.
With the Justice Department conducting a review of that operation, Rep. John Ratcliffe said during a Fox News interview Sunday that he trusts Attorney General William Barr and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to provide answers.
And while Ratcliffe said he does not want to prematurely accuse any specific person of a crime — as Democrats have done with President Trump — he stressed that it is clear crimes were committed by people during the Obama administration, including government officials.

Parents Are Giving Up Custody of Their Kids to Get Need-Based College Financial Aid — ProPublica

Parents Are Giving Up Custody of Their Kids to Get Need-Based College Financial Aid — ProPublica

• First, parents turn over guardianship of their teenagers to a friend or relative. Then the student declares financial independence to qualify for tuition aid and scholarships.

Dozens of suburban Chicago families, perhaps many more, have been exploiting a legal loophole to win their children need-based college financial aid and scholarships they would not otherwise receive, court records and interviews show.

...Parents are giving up legal custody of their children during their junior or senior year in high school to someone else — a friend, aunt, cousin or grandparent. 
The guardianship status then allows the students to declare themselves financially independent of their families so they can qualify for federal, state and university aid, a ProPublica Illinois investigation found.

“It’s a scam,” said Andy Borst, director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 
“Wealthy families are manipulating the financial aid process to be eligible for financial aid they would not be otherwise eligible for. They are taking away opportunities from families that really need it.”..."

You can't afford the car, why should you pay for their free electricity?!!-----Michigan Utility Customers Subsidizing High-End Electric Cars – Michigan Capitol Confidential

Michigan Utility Customers Subsidizing High-End Electric Cars – Michigan Capitol Confidential:

• State’s big utilities giving subsidies for plug-in charging stations

"In a push to encourage drivers to shift from from gas-powered cars to plug-in electric vehicles, Consumers Energy recently announced a program to subsidize the installation of charging stations. Dubbed the PowerMIDrive program, the Jackson-based gas and electric utility’s initiative pays EV owners $400 subsidies to install car chargers at home. 
It also provides businesses amounts ranging from $5,000 to $70,000 to put chargers in their parking lots.
Most of the payments so far have gone to individuals and companies in nine counties, subsidizing some 50 charging stations altogether.
They are: Charlevoix, Muskegon, Kent, Allegan, Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Jackson, Saginaw and Midland counties.
...DTE, Michigan’s other big utility company, has introduced a similar program in its territory...
“It’s reverse Robin Hood: stealing from the poor to give to the rich,” said Jason Hayes, director of environmental policy at the Mackinac Center.
...Hayes added that he has no problem if the company wants to invest its private funds into EV infrastructure, “but when they use the force of the government to push me, an unwilling participant, into funding their business exploits, that’s a totally different thing.”

And we’re prepared to go right back to court against the FBI Deep State in order to expose the truth, defend the Constitution and our rule of law, and once again defeat the Deep State.

"A few rats"?-----Selling Baltimore as Safe and Al Sharpton as Honest. The Trump Dilemma for Democrats. – Da Tech Guy Blog

Selling Baltimore as Safe and Al Sharpton as Honest. The Trump Dilemma for Democrats. – Da Tech Guy Blog
"One of the greatest strengths of Donald Trump is his ability and willingness to say aloud things that everyone knows on prima facie evidence are true without a doubt but are either not spoken by the MSM or not spoken in the context of the Democrat/left having any connection to said facts.

Yesterday I wrote about the President’s statement concerning Baltimoreand listed a plethora of groups who made similar statements without them being attributed to racism. The fruits of his move, as Don Surber notes are now becoming apparent:

Baltimore Sun quickly exuded an editorial, “Better to have a few rats than to be one.” A couple of its white columnists came in on a sunny Saturday to denounce as racist the president telling the truth.

I doubt anyone on the editorial board lives in West Baltimore, which is the center of this tragedy. They belong to the Protected Class, as Peggy Noonan put it. They are protected from the adverse effects of the policies they embrace.

I wonder what they would think if their children went to sleep in a rat-infested house each night.

Americans know Donald John Trump is right. Cummings has represented Baltimore for 36 years in Congress. On his watch, parts of Baltimore slid into being rat-infested war zones with third world homicide rates..."
