Fox News Host Asks 1 Question About #BlackLivesMatter…Immediately Causes a National Firestorm
Fox News Host Asks 1 Question About #BlackLivesMatter…Immediately Causes a National Firestorm:
"Any criticism, direct or implied, of such hooliganism sends the pro-#BlackLivesMatter movement into convulsions with howls of ‘racism,’ which is essentially the pot calling the kettle black.
During an interview on “Fox and Friends”, co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck asked her guest, Kevin Jackson, a simple, seemingly innocuous question:
“Kevin, why has the “Black Lives Matter” movement not been classified yet as a hate group?”
Jackson was undaunted by the question. He responded:"

If The Fed’s Forecasts Are Always Wrong—–How Can Its Policies Possibly Be Right?
If The Fed’s Forecasts Are Always Wrong—–How Can Its Policies Possibly Be Right? | David Stockman's Contra Corner:
One of the most curiously persistent surrealisms of Washington, DC is the reflexive deference given the Federal Reserve System. The Washington elite tends to accord more infallibility to the Fed than do Catholics the Pope.
One of the most curiously persistent surrealisms of Washington, DC is the reflexive deference given the Federal Reserve System. The Washington elite tends to accord more infallibility to the Fed than do Catholics the Pope.
Now comes one of the world’s top monetary reporters, Ylan Q. Mui, to make a delicate observation at the Washington Post’s Wonkblog, in Why nobody believes the Federal Reserve’s forecasts. Mui:
“The market recognizes that the Fed has repeatedly erred on the optimistic side,” said Eric Lascelles, chief economist at RBC Global Asset Management. “Fool me 50 times, but not 51 times.”Even the government’s official budget forecasters are dubious of the Fed’s own forecast.
This is a theme that Mui has touched on before. In 2013, she wrote Is the Fed’s crystal ball rose-colored?:
The big question is whether Fed officials can get it right after years in which they have regularly predicted a stronger economy than the one that materialized. In January 2011, Fed officials predicted that GDP would grow around 3.7 percent that year. It clocked in at 2 percent. In January 2012, they anticipated growth of about 2.5 percent. We ended up with 1.6 percent.
To give Ms. Mui’s competition its due, Dr. Richard Rahn at the Washington Times last April crisply noted:
The Federal Reserve had forecast the U.S. economy to grow about 4 percent near the beginning of each year for the last five years. But during each year, the Fed was forced to reduce its forecast until it got to the actual number of approximately 2 percent. (Other government agencies have been making equally bad forecasts.) These mammoth errors clearly show that the forecast models the official agencies use are mis-specified and contain incorrect assumptions.
What’s going on here?
A good bet would be that there’s a problem with the Fed’s reliance on an arcane art. This art is designated “Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium” modeling..."

Judge’s Ruling Is a Big Step in Proving Whether White House Officials Were Involved in the IRS Targeting Scandal | TheBlaze.com:
"The Obama administration tried to argue that it doesn’t have to follow through with such requests and invoked the same law the judge cited to say that it is required to hand over the information.
“The Court is unwilling to stretch the statute so far, and it cannot conclude that section 6103 may be used to shield the very misconduct it was enacted to prohibit,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote.
Cause of Action, the legal watchdog group that sued the IRS in 2013, hailed Friday’s decision as a “victory for transparency advocates,” the Free Beacon reported."

Nobel Laureate in Literature: “Europe will soon go under – The Muslims are flooding, occupying and destroying Europe”
Nobel Laureate in Literature: “Europe will soon go under – The Muslims are flooding, occupying and destroying Europe” | Pamela Geller:
"Nobel Laureate in Literature: “Europe will soon go under – The Muslims are flooding, occupying and destroying Europe”
And yet tens of thousands of Muslims continue to flood the borders of European countries.
Europe learned nothing from the Holocaust. They traded six million Jewish lives for 20 million Muslims...
Following Hitler, Europeans no longer dare to discuss the disadvantages of alien races and religions, warns the Hungarian-Jewish professional Holocaust and Nobel laureate Imre Kertész in his new book, The Last Escape(?).
Den Hungarian-Jewish writer and professional Holocaust Imre Kertész, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2002, now directs sharp criticism of the Western establishment’s decision to allow Europe to change population through mass immigration from the third world countries.
It’s in the book, the last to escape Kertész chooses to strongly condemn what those in power do with Europe right now.
..“Europe will soon go under because of its former liberalism that has proved childish and suicidal. Europe has produced Hitler, and after Hitler the continent stands there with no arguments: the doors are wide open for Islam, they no longer dare talk about race and religion while Islam only knows the language of hatred against alien races and religions,” writes Kertész in his book, according to a summary of the blogger Thomas Nydahl.
The 85-year-old Nobel laureate continues:
“I should say a few words about politics too …
Then I would talk about how Muslims are flooding, occupying, in clear verbs, destroying Europe, and how Europe relates to this, the suicidal liberalism and the stupid democracy …
It always ends the same way: civilization reaches a certain stage of maturation where it is not only able to defend itself, but where it is in a seemingly incomprehensible worship of their own enemy.”"

With all due respect to the heroic Ted Cruz—he just hit the DC GOP with his best shot— calling out the liars on the Senate floor—and they didn’t even flinch. The media ignored him—and the DC GOP ignored him.

The second, is the determination of the current administration to allow them to continue their rein of terror.
The United States must not allow such terror to come to our shores. You would think our own government would want to do everything possible to keep our home safe...but we elected someone who has no love for our country and pacifies our enemy, which only encourages them to do more harm.

Another government FAIL!!!-----Solyndra autopsy: Did Inspector General go too easy on Department of Energy?
Solyndra autopsy: Did Inspector General go too easy on Department of Energy? - Watchdog.org:
An Inspector General of the Department of Energy report that picked over the bones of the Solyndra green energy fiasco placed most of the blame on Solyndra executives for losing more than $500 million in taxpayer money.
An Inspector General of the Department of Energy report that picked over the bones of the Solyndra green energy fiasco placed most of the blame on Solyndra executives for losing more than $500 million in taxpayer money.
But a close reading shows DOE made plenty of mistakes as well.
...While the 13-page report also criticizes DOE officials for not sufficiently vetting Solyndra and mentions political pressure placed on unnamed DOE employees to get the loan pushed through as part of the Obama administration’s stimulus program, it does not go into many specifics — especially about the political aspect of the case.
...That conclusion riles William Yeatman, senior fellow specializing in environmental policy and energy markets at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a policy group that advocates for limited government, who called the IG report “a conspicuous whitewash” that tries to absolve DOE. “It’s an outrage,” Yeatman told Watchdog.org, adding he has admired Friedman’s work in the past.
...But the agency’s loan officers “who received this spreadsheet each told us they did not examine it closely,” the report said. “While Solyndra did nothing to highlight or emphasize the new information, the Department missed an opportunity, prior to loan closing, to evaluate the fact that Solyndra’s contract customers were not buying product at the contracted terms.”
“They simply didn’t pay attention to this,” Yeatman said in a telephone interview. “That information was quantitative, hard data that, if (DOE) had paid attention to, made clear that this was a bad deal …What a piss-poor job the government does when it plays banker.”
In addition, a week before the loan closing, an employee noticed the price of rooftop solar systems was projected to be much lower than Solyndra’s estimates and sent three emails to top DOE loan officials alerting them to the issue. “Yet, no action was taken,” the report said. “Instead, it was apparently disregarded....”
Fed May Have to Enact QE4 Just to Buy up Bonds Being Sold by China
Fed May Have to Enact QE4 Just to Buy up Bonds Being Sold by China | The Daily Sheeple:
"In an interesting observation made on Aug. 27 by analysts at Bank of America, Chinese dumping of dollar reserves (Treasuries) may create such an impact on the United States, that the Fed would have to throw away any thought of raising interest rates and instead look very hard at implementing a new round of quantitative easing just to soak up the estimated $1.1 trillion that will be dumped onto the markets.

In fact, estimates of how much China may have to sell is so great, it is believed that China’s currency stabilization efforts would erase 60% of the gains created by the central bank under its last bond buying program of QE3.
...This alone is something the Fed is and has been deathly afraid of since day one of their historic easing and zirp policies… the market itself forcing interest rates higher with the central bank being unable to manage or contain it.

Your children, their propaganda-------Got White Privilege? College Students Flunked for Using “Oppressive and Hateful Language”
Got White Privilege? College Students Flunked for Using “Oppressive and Hateful Language”:
Free speech has officially failed.
Free speech has officially failed.
Reports are pouring in that the politically-correct politics surrounding the term ‘white privilege’ are gaining traction at many universities.
Plenty of professors at various colleges across the nation are confronting students with racial and ethnic issues, and decimating their grades if they aren’t sensitive enough to the use of delicate terminology.
Campus Reform reported on political correctness gone too far:
Multiple professors at Washington State University have explicitly told students their grades will suffer if they use terms such as “illegal alien,” “male,” and “female,” or if they fail to “defer” to non-white students.
According to the syllabus for Selena Lester Breikss’ “Women & Popular Culture” class, students risk a failing grade if they use any common descriptors that Breikss considers “oppressive and hateful language.”
At another school, a course in comparative ethnic cultures docks students who fail to recognize “white privilege” and use terms like “illegal alien” to describe people who circumvented immigration laws and came to this country without permission.
According to [Professor Rebecca Fowler’s] syllabus, students will lose one point every time they use the words “illegal alien” or “illegals” rather than the preferred terms of “‘undocumented’ migrants/immigrants/persons.” Throughout the course, Fowler says, students will “come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions.”
“The socio-legal production of migrant illegality works to systematically dehumanize and exploit these brown bodies for their labor,” Fowler continued....

Gun Myths and the Roanoke Shootings - Reason.com:
"...Vermont has some of the loosest gun laws in America.
The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives it an "F."
The state requires no background checks for private gun sales, permits the sale and possession of "assault weapons," and allows concealed guns to be carried in public—without a license.
After the fatal on-air shooting of a TV reporter and her cameraman in Roanoke, Va., on Wednesday, blame was heaped on America's permissive firearms policy.
"There are too many guns, and too little national will to do anything about them," asserted an editorial in The New York Times.
Democratic politicians and commentators said the murders proved the need for more restrictions on guns.
But did they?
Vermont isn't much different from a lot of states in the regulation of these weapons.
But it's very different in the volume of bloodshed.
In 2013, it had the third-lowest homicide rate in the country—less than one-sixth that of Louisiana.
Utah, which also got an "F" on its laws from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, had the fourth-lowest homicide rate.
These places refute the belief that loose gun rules and high ownership are bound to produce frenzies of carnage... "

"A Homeland Security indicated Meshal “may be a threat to civil aviation or national security” and told him he’s “an individual who represents a threat of engaging in or conducting a violent act of terrorism and who is operationally capable of doing so.”
Now the question is: Why did the Minnesota Department of Public Safety grant a Class A driver’s license to Meshal on Aug. 8, which will allow him to operate semi-trucks? (Oh, and the agency also said Meshal applied for a school bus endorsement, pending the results of criminal background check.)"

"...Yet shale producers continue to face formidable political obstacles.
The Obama administration, always happy to take credit for surging oil and natural gas production, is using the EPA and other regulatory bodies to burden energy companies with red tape and added costs.
Take the EPA's landmark report on the safety of fracking.
After years of research, the agency found what we already knew — that fracking is being done, and can continue to be done, safely.
And yet what did our domestic producers get from this?
New, onerous fracking rules for federal lands from the Interior Department.
The EPA followed those rules by proposing unnecessary regulations on methane emissions from oil and gas production.
The Obama administration and the EPA in particular seem intent on creating problems for our domestic oil and gas industry where there is none.
According to the EPA's own data, methane emissions have fallen 38%, while production has grown by 35% since 2005.
The methane "problem" simply doesn't cry out for new, expensive regulation.
...We need to modernize our energy policy for the 21st century to reflect America's new status as a world energy superpower and lift the oil export ban altogether.
The shale revolution and its myriad economic, environmental and energy security benefits are fighting for their survival against the Saudis and OPEC, both of which are bent on regaining control of the oil trade.
As a counterweight, we need a U.S. energy policy and a regulatory approach that encourage our oil and gas producers.
Overzealous environmental regulation and inaction on the crude export ban are gifts from the Obama administration that Saudi Arabia, Russia and Venezuela don't deserve.

Illinois Says It Can’t Pay Big Lottery Winners
Illinois Says It Can’t Pay Big Lottery Winners | TIME:
"Why you need to win small in the Prairie State"
(SPRINGFIELD, Ill.) — Big-time Illinois Lottery winners aren’t getting the largesse.
They’re getting left out.
Without a state budget agreement two months into the new fiscal year, there’s no authority for the state comptroller to cut checks over $25,000.
That means smaller winnings can be paid out, but not the larger lottery wins.
Susan Rick, who lives in Oglesby, Illinois, planned home fix-ups and a visit to her daughter after her boyfriend won $250,000 last month.
But they were told to wait.
Rick tells the Chicago Tribune that if the situation were reversed, the state would “come take it, and they don’t care whether we have a roof over our head.”
Lottery spokesman Steve Rossi says state lottery, like every other state agency, is “affected by the budget situation.”"

Sheriff Clarke furious at deputy’s murder; who really started the ‘war on police?’
Sheriff Clarke furious at deputy’s murder; who really started the ‘war on police?’ | BizPac Review
"Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. laid it out for Judge Jeanine Pirro in an interview Saturday, and he wasn’t holding back.
Saying he was “too pissed off to be diplomatic” about Friday’s ambush and murder of a uniformed deputy sheriff in Houston, Clarke blamed the White House for the “war on police.”
On Saturday, authorities announced the arrest of Shannon J. Miles, 30, a man with a criminal record, in the shooting death of Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth. Charged with capital murder, Miles could face the death penalty.
“I said last December that war had been declared against the American police officer, led by some high-profile people,” Clarke told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on “Justice With Judge Jeanine” Saturday.
“One of them coming out of the White House, another one coming out of the United States Department of Justice.
And it’s open season right now, there’s no doubt about it.”
Clarke referred to members of the Black Lives Matter movement who chant “No justice, no peace” as “black slime that needs to be eradicated from the American society.”
Pirro observed that “without leadership … people seem to be emboldened by this kind of thing.”
“Right,” Clarke said.
“And that’s why I said the president of the United States started this war on police.”"

12) “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” Sanger wrote. —Letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble on Dec., 10, 1939
13) In an interview with Mike Wallace in 1957, Sanger said, “I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world, that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically.”
“Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things just marked when they’re born. That to me is the greatest sin—that people can—can commit,” she said.
