A Nurse’s Perspective: Justice Scalia’s Death in Texas is the 21st Century Version of the Assassination of JFK - Freedom Outpost

A Nurse’s Perspective: Justice Scalia’s Death in Texas is the 21st Century Version of the Assassination of JFK - Freedom Outpost:

"The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia shocked the nation, especially when hearing the distinguished Justice appeared to be in good spirits, “entertaining,” and active the night before. What is even more shocking to some is the post death procedures. It has led to many speculating foul play was involved despite what those at the scene claim. A primary area of concern centered on reports that Justice of the Peace Cinderela Guevara never examined Scalia’s body, but pronounced Scalia dead over the phone. As a friend likes to say, “What’s wrong with this picture?”

From a nursing perspective, there is quite a bit wrong with this picture."

Business - Apple plays digital privacy hardball with FBI, 'but not China'

Business - Apple plays digital privacy hardball with FBI, 'but not China' - France 24:
Citing reports by Chinese daily Beijing News and the state-run People's Daily, the article claimed that Cook agreed in January 2015 to allow authorities in China to carry out “security checks” on all iPhones sold in the country to make sure the US had not installed any spyware.
But, Apple has never confirmed or responded to the allegations.
The article reported that analysts believe Apple likely handed over its operating system source code as part of the agreement. 
If true, this would mean that the Chinese government knows how Apple’s software works, including its security system.
But a source close to the Cupertino-based firm said it would never grant access to source codes, noting that such a move would violate its privacy rules.
Apple also decided in February 2015 to store local users’ personal data in China. 
The move was a gesture of good will towards Beijing that other companies like Google, for example, have always rejected for “security reasons”.
This is because it is easier for China to request access data stored in places under its jurisdiction, though Apple stresses the information is encrypted.
Apple has never given Beijing the means to hack an iPhone, which is exactly what Cook has accused the United States of seeking in what he described as “an unprecedented step that threatens the security of our customers”.
But Apple’s alleged behaviour in China has demonstrated that the company may be capable of granting a government – even one known for Internet censorship – access to users’ personal information if it’s within the company's best commercial interests.

Why one Michigan university won't start classes before 9 a.m. | MLive.com
MICHIGAN - A Michigan university that gained international attention through an admitted publicity stunt that annually banishes words when they become overused is not out to gain the same notoriety with its latest move.
But Lake Superior State University, a 2,000-student college in Sault Ste. Marie, will certainly take the word of mouth generated by a recent announcement that its classes won't begin before 9 a.m.
The change, which will begin in the 2016 fall semester, ends 8 a.m. classes college students have long dreaded.
And it's not because of a need for extra sleep or an additional hour to shake off the night before.
"It wasn't, it isn't, a marketing effort," said Thomas Pink, the university's director of public relations. "This was a thoughtful process of trying to find a common hour on campus when groups can meet or staff can hold meetings."...

Pilots Reveal That Obama Has Refused To Give Them Clearance On 75% Of Attacks On ISIS

Pilots Reveal That Obama Has Refused To Give Them Clearance On 75% Of Attacks On ISIS:

"Rep. Ed Royce has argued that the Obama administration policy not to strike if there is any risk of collateral damage has likely added to that percentage, and in turn led to growth of ISIS where it could have been stopped.

“You went 12 full months while ISIS was on the march without the U.S. using that air power and now as the pilots come back to talk to us they say three-quarters of our ordnance we can’t drop,” Royce argued.

“We can’t get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us,” he continued. "

World War 3 Could Very Easily Turn Into The Very First Nuclear War In The Middle East

World War 3 Could Very Easily Turn Into The Very First Nuclear War In The Middle East
Saudi Arabia already has nukes, Iran probably does, and the Russians are one of the two great nuclear powers on the entire planet.
So if Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their Sunni allies do decide to conduct a full-blown ground invasion of Syria, could someone ultimately decide to use nuclear weapons when their backs get pushed up against a wall?
As you read this article, there are thousands of military vehicles and hundreds of thousands of troops massed along the southern border of Turkey and the northern border of Saudi Arabia.  
If the command is given and those forces start streaming toward Damascus, it is inevitable that the Syrians, the Iranians, Hezbollah and the Russians would fight back.
It would literally be the start of World War 3, and the Saudis and the Turks are trying very hard to convince the United States to be involved.
But the truth is that we don’t want any part of this conflict, because it could very easily become the very first nuclear war in the history of the Middle East.
Perhaps you didn’t know that the Saudis already have nukes.  
Of course the official position is that they don’t, but it is a fact that they were the ones that funded the development of Pakistan’s nuclear program.
It is an open secret that the Saudis have the bomb, but nobody is really supposed to talk about it...."

Passing is "145"?!! Sup?-----Scoring change will make GED easier to pass

Scoring change will make GED easier to pass:
Big changes to the way the GED exam is scored will make it easier for people to pass — two years after the test underwent a massive overhaul that led to steep drops in the number of students taking it and passing it.
The score students will need to pass the exam is dropping from 150 to 145, part of changes first announced in late January by the GED Testing Service. But it's up to individual states to adopt the scoring changes.
Michigan hadn't officially signed on to the changes late last week, but Ken Silfven, spokesman for Michigan's Workforce Development Agency, said Friday that "our intention is to adopt the ... updates."
"It will be a positive move that helps hundreds of people move forward," Silfven said..."

If Obama Replaces Scalia, “You Can Kiss What’s Left of the Constitution Goodbye” - Eagle Rising

If Obama Replaces Scalia, “You Can Kiss What’s Left of the Constitution Goodbye” - Eagle Rising:

“Everybody knows that Barack Obama, that Barack Obama looks for every opportunity to destroy the institutions of this government. And he’d like nothing more than to take over the Supreme Court the way he’s taken over the treaty provision of the Constitution, the way he’s taken over the spending clause, the power of the purse from the Congress, or the way he’s taken over in many respects legislating from Congress with his executive orders. And so, he’d like nothing more than to take over the Court."

Expert: U.S. military could topple like Jenga blocks

Expert: U.S. military could topple like Jenga blocks
An expert on military preparedness says the United States armed forces could topple like a Jenga block tower if President Obama’s social agenda is allowed to continue.
“If the Obama administration continues to remove resources from the Jenga block tower’s base, while loading burdens of social engineering on the top, the structure will become increasingly unstable and eventually fall,” contends a new report from the Center for Military Readiness, referring to the block-stacking game.
...She compares the social engineering to a Jenga block game, in which wooden blocks are piled up and lower blocks removed one at a time until the tower falls.
Obama’s social agenda is the top blocks, but troop strength and support are the foundation blocks that are being removed, she has argued.
...Her report notes the issue is assuming greater importance in light of a recent Washington Times article that highlights the consequences of budget cuts in Special Operations Forces..."

Swedish Police Admit There Are Now 53 No-Go Zones There They Do Not Enter and Cannot Control

Danish reporter Jeppe Juhl from Newsspeek TV described the deteriorating situation in Sweden, a once peaceful country that now is regarded as the rape capital of the West.

According to Jeppe, Sweden now has 53 no-go zones where police will not enter without backup and often wear bulletproof vests. The same policies are apply to ambulance drivers and firemen.

Jeppe blames left-wing politicians and an inept and cowardly press who have been mouthpieces for the insane idealistic experiment by the people in charge. The country has exchanged its well-functioning and integrated Jewish population with illiterates and violent men from the Middle East and North Africa.

This is an excellent video.

"CHANGE: 
CIA Director John Brennan said diversity and inclusion are “at the heart” of what the intelligence service is “charged to do.”

Shades of the infamous Freudian slip by the hard left former editor of the New York Times, Howlin’ Howell Raines, specifically citing Jayson Blair “before the National Association of Black Journalists in 2001 as the first fruits of a hiring campaign that ‘has made our staff better and, more importantly, more diverse.’”

As with the Times replacing reporting after 9/11 with activism, presumably, the CIA is in the process of getting out of the spy profession if the recent history of NASA is any indication.
During Obama’s first term, that government agency decided to simultaneously get into the business of LGBT and Muslim outreach (good luck squaring that circle) right around the time it was exiting what was called — in a less enlightened era — the manned space program.
In those dark ages, American engineers developed the technology to go the moon, but the horrible sexists and bigots at NASA (some with evil wrongthink shirts, no doubt) sent only WASPy males.

Life was so horrible throughout the millions of years of history that all led up to the glorious revolution that is the Obama era."

Those Vatican walls? Designed to repel Muslims

Those Vatican walls? Designed to repel Muslims:

"The pope’s sovereign city-state, Vatican City, is surrounded by giant walls.

What’s more, the walls were specifically built by a prior pope to repel Muslims.

History shows back in 846, Muslim raiders known as the Saracens looted Old St. Peter’s Basilica and the Papal Basilica of St. Paul outside the walls. The pirates took priceless treasures from the shrines.

Shocked by the sack of some of the most sacred sites in Christendom, Pope Leo IV created the Leonine Wall, completely surrounding the Vatican Hill. Additional defenses were added in the 15th and 16th centuries."

Hundreds pack meeting – demand ‘no refugees’ in Montana

Hundreds pack meeting – demand ‘no refugees’ in Montana:

"So what was it that had the townspeople of rural Ravalli County, Montana, so stirred up?

The answer is simple: Syrian refugees.

They don’t want any.

The county held a public hearing Feb. 18 on a proposed letter to be sent to the Obama administration, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and the state’s congressional delegation making one point abundantly clear – no Syrian refugees will be welcomed in Ravalli County.

The county commissioners voted unanimously to send the letter."

How the Sex-Harassment Cops Became Speech Police

How the Sex-Harassment Cops Became Speech Police - WSJ:
If you care about free speech on campus, watch closely the First Amendment case of Teresa Buchanan.
An education professor at Louisiana State University for nearly two decades, Ms. Buchanan was skilled at teaching people how to teach others.
She was widely published, secured over $1 million in research grants, and held important positions in respected professional organizations.
On the strength of her record, Ms. Buchanan was recommended for promotion to full professor in November 2013.
Only a month later, however, an LSU administrator informed Ms. Buchanan that she was being pulled from her spring classes.
She wasn’t given an explanation, beyond vague allegations of “inappropriate comments.”
Six months later, Ms. Buchanan was charged with sexual harassment, though no student (or anyone else) had accused her of such.
...After two decades Ms. Buchanan’s teaching methods hadn’t changed—but the understanding of “sexual harassment” had.
In 2013 the federal government announced a new definition intended as a “blueprint” for colleges nationwide. 
It explained that sexual harassment was “any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature,” including “verbal conduct.” 
Free-speech advocates warned that the feds’ broad definition, if adopted, would sharply curtail First Amendment rights on campus.
LSU’s sexual-harassment policy mirrors the federal blueprint by prohibiting “unwelcome verbal, visual, or physical behavior of a sexual nature.”
It’s not clear what prompted the university to adopt that language, or when it did so.
But after LSU was criticized for firing Ms. Buchanan, it rushed out a statement that explained: “The Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education has advised universities that ‘harassment does not have to include intent to harm, be directed at a specific target, or involve repeated incidents.’...

To stay or go? UK to vote on membership in European Union

To stay or go? UK to vote on membership in European Union. - CSMonitor.com:
"...The final piece of the agreement was, in many ways, the most delicate.
And yet, for British voters, it touched on perhaps the most pertinent issue: immigration.
Cameron wanted to withdraw certain benefits from EU migrants, in an effort to stem the influx that has thwarted his immigration targets.
Some of the eastern European countries took exception to this, but in spite of their reservations, a compromise was reached, the most significant aspect of which was the “emergency brake,” which will allow in-work benefits for migrants to be reduced for the next seven years.
Specifically, while the UK had already made unemployment benefit unavailable to EU migrants, these new measures affect benefits available to people who are working, essentially forms of state assistance (such as tax credits) to help those on low income.
...Should the UK vote to leave the EU, one possible repercussion is a fresh vote on Scottish independence, meaning that breaking away from the European Union could, in turn, lead to the disintegration of the United Kingdom itself.
As for the EU, Dahrendorf Fellow on Europe-North America Relations Tim Oliver, at the London School of Economics IDEAS department, sees three possible outcomes of a so-called Brexit:

• “[The EU] could integrate further, strengthening the power of the Eurozone and Germany; 
• it could unravel, Britain triggering some form of domino effect that leads to further withdrawals; 
• or it could muddle through as it has in the past, unified but strained.”

At this point, the vote is too close to call, and as the campaign machines grind into gear, they still have everything to play for...”

EDITORIAL: Global-warming Ice Capades

EDITORIAL: Global-warming Ice Capades - Washington Times:
He who lives by the crystal ball must expect occasional bits of ground glass in his pudding, and the false prophets of global warming and their cheerleaders in the media are learning that lesson the hard way.
After years of predicting that man-made global warming would melt the planet’s glaciers and drown coastal towns beneath rising oceans, the threat itself is melting like ice in April.
That’s cause for both celebration and a little humility in the face of the many mysteries of nature still to be unraveled.
Data from two NASA satellites, employed in the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment between 2002 and 2014, enabled researchers to analyze the effects of glacier loss.
They found to their surprise that trillions of tons of water wound up not in the sea but spread across the planet’s land mass. 
In fact, 3.2 trillion tons of water, equal to the volume of Lake Huron, soaked into thirsty soil or were collected in lakes and underground aquifers.
“We always assumed that people’s increased reliance on groundwater for irrigation and consumption was resulting in a net transfer of water from the land to the ocean,” says the lead author, J.T. Reager. “What we didn’t realize until now is that over the past decade, changes in the global water cycle more than offset the losses that occurred from groundwater pumping — causing the land to act like a sponge, at least temporarily.”
So dry land soaks up water. 
Who knew? 
It’s always reassuring when science comports with common sense..."

Why are we learning Chinese while they are NOT learning English?!!-----For NYC Firefighters Learning Mandarin, Service Starts With 'Ni Hao'

For NYC Firefighters Learning Mandarin, Service Starts With 'Ni Hao' : NPR:
"...About a dozen firefighters, EMTs and paramedics are taking the first Mandarin classes funded by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.
It's the start of a voluntary program that organizers hope to expand into other Chinese dialects and Asian languages in the future.
For now, these first responders spend two hours a week learning Mandarin from Lily Cheung.
"A lot of them, they're working full time. 
You would think they're dead tired, have no energy, but no, they just put so much energy to the class," she says.
"They participate. They answer questions."
..."It's also to show the communities that we embrace them as citizens of this city, that we are in acceptance of their culture and the transition that they're going through," he says..."

Critics Suggest Race, Religion and Politics Shaped Obama’s Decision Not to Attend Scalia’s Funeral | TheBlaze.com:

"The funeral mass for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was held Saturday morning at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Scalia’s son, Rev. Paul D. Scalia delivered the homily, which focused on the former justice’s deep Catholic faith and his devoted family life.

Justices, judges, congressional leaders, cabinet secretaries, former legal clerks who served under Scalia, Vice President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz gathered at the nation’s largest Roman Catholic church to pay homage to Scalia, who died last Saturday at age 79."

Obamafication of Men | The Political Hat

Obamafication of Men | The Political Hat:
 The War on Boys and the obsession of the Left with abolishing the notion of masculinityand the male gender itself is now being funded under the Obama administration in an attempt to challenge “rigid masculinity norms”:

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is spending nearly $1 million on a study that seeks to change gender norms to prevent sexual assault, teaching young men to resist ‘rigid masculinity.’

“The project seeks to produce ‘healthy masculinities’ in young black males in Pittsburgh, using a curriculum called ‘Manhood 2.0.’ The curriculum involves ‘identifying examples of policing gender and sexuality’ and teaches young men that masculinity is not about physical strength.”

     They’ve spent nearly $1 million so far, and the budget will not end until next year, with the project continuing on through most of 2018.

     And just to underscore the transformative nature of this use of taxpayer money:

“‘Manhood 2.0 curriculum will encourage discussions about being a man using arts-based approaches and other interactive strategies, conversations and role play around healthy sexual relationships, and youth as social change agents,’ the fact sheet said.

“In an email, Miller further detailed what ‘gender transformative programming’ means.

“‘”Gender transformative programming” involves identifying and challenging rigid masculinity norms about what it means to be a man, identifying examples of policing gender and sexuality (through media messages), and envisioning different ways of expressing one’s masculinity (that does not involve physical strength, use of violence, sexual conquest),’ she said.”

     You can not fool mother nature.  Male impulses will remain.  By destroying the norms and mores that have channeled these biological drives towards good, you free them to destructive ends; denying them will not protect society therefrom.

Slouching toward World War III

Slouching toward World War III: Glenn Reynolds:
Abandoning the helm and allowing Putin to have his way, Obama has turned the Cold War clock back.
At the Democratic debate last week, there was a lot of back-and-forth between Bernie and Hillary about Hillary’s relationship with Henry Kissinger.
And while I’m not a Kissinger fan in particular, I have to give those old-time Cold Warriors credit: Despite the widespread belief from the 1950s through the 1980s that a nuclear World War III was almost inevitable, they managed to avoid it and to produce an outcome where freedom expanded around the world by the end.
Our current generation of foreign-policy leaders isn’t doing quite as well. 
In fact, as intelligence expert John Schindler writes in the Observer, we seem to be slouching toward World War III now.
Schindler writes that the Russo-Turkish conflict in Syria looks poised to expand:
"As rebel forces defend Aleppo in Stalingrad fashion, the Syrian military, with Russian help, commences a protracted siege of the city, employing massive firepower, which becomes a humanitarian nightmare of a kind not seen in decades, a tragedy that would dwarf the 1992-95 siege of Sarajevo.
However, any Turkish move to lift that siege, even with international imprimatur, would quickly devolve into all-out war. ...
"Many Western insiders think along similar lines.
By letting Mr. Putin get away with whatever he likes in Syria, Obama has created a deeply dangerous situation in the region.
By abandoning his infamous Syria “redline” in September 2013, the White House in effect outsourced American policy there to Putin, as I warned at the time, and which the Obama administration, powerless to influence terrible events in Syria, is slowly realizing."
A war between Russia and Turkey would put the United States, and Europe, in an uncomfortable position. 
Since Turkey remains a NATO ally (though a shakier one than in the past), war between Turkey and Russia could easily suck us in. 
...Well, now it looks like we have a new Cold War.
And don’t just take my word for it.
Ask Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who says that the world has slipped into a “new Cold War.”
So, despite President Obama’s snark and Clinton and Sanders’ infighting, the question isn’t about what happened in the 1980s. It’s about whether we’ll do as well in the coming decades.
At the moment, things don’t look especially promising."

New Hampshire voter-fraud probe into Sanders campaign expands after latest Project Veritas video

New Hampshire voter-fraud probe into Sanders campaign expands after latest Project Veritas video - Washington Times:
The New Hampshire voter-fraud investigation into Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders’ campaign has grown with the release of a second undercover video showing out-of-state staffers saying they exploited the law in order to vote in the Democratic presidential primary.

New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Stephen G. LaBonte said Thursday he had seen both hidden-camera videos released this month by Project Veritas Action, including the latest footage showing top staffers saying they had registered to vote using the campaign office’s address in Manchester, an apparent violation of state law.

Mr. LaBonte launched an investigation last week after the release of the first Project Veritas video, which shows poll workers advising undercover investigators on how to game the system to vote in the Feb. 9 primary.

“I’ve seen the first video. I’ve also seen the second video,” Mr. LaBontetold The Washington Times. “We are looking into it.”

...The second video focuses on Hugo Palma, Mr. Sanders’ regional field director, who says on hidden camera that he had registered using the field office address in order to vote in the New Hampshire primary even though he lives in Colorado Springs.
Other staffers said the practice was commonplace. "
