Obama-Farrakhan Photo Released After 13-Year Media Cover-up - Breitbart

Obama-Farrakhan Photo Released After 13-Year Media Cover-up - Breitbart:

"Obama did not explicitly reject Farrakhan’s support.
There are other, similar instances in which Obama claimed to have had no association with radicals and was later discovered to have lied.
For example, Obama claimed during the 2008 campaign that he had no continuing links with former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, with whom Obama had served on a board in the 1990s. Breitbart News discovered that then-Sen. Obama had attended a barbecue at Ayers’s home in Chicago in July 2005."

News - The Post Office: Doing All The Wrong Things In All The Wrong Ways | Heartland Institute:
"Government is awful at doing…just about everything.
In no small part because of the rigid, unyielding dictates of human nature. 
Government, of course, being populated by humans – is not immune to these dictates.
...the government Post Office (USPS). 
An ongoing, rolling, unmitigated disaster – because…it’s government. 
So it breaks all of the immutable rules.
Let us view the Post Office in two halves, Twix-style – the snail mail side, and the package delivery side.
The snail mail side possesses a distinct, authoritarian advantage. 
They have mandated themselves a monopoly. 
If a private sector business tries to go into the snail mail delivery business – they will instead go directly to jail.
Having outlawed any competitors – the government Post Office is under no pressure to do things…very well at all. 
Because where else you got to go?...

EQUALITY! Oxford Extends Math And Science Exam Times To Diminish Gender Gap | Daily Wire
"Oxford University was apparently troubled that men were outperforming women on math and computer science exams, so they decided to allow extra testing time in an attempt to alleviate the gender gap since "female candidates might be more likely to be adversely affected by time pressure."

In other words, Oxford lowered standards on their tests, making them easier to pass, with the hope of improving women's test scores and achieving "true equality."...

RECORD: George Soros Spent SIXTEEN MILLION Dollars Opposing Donald Trump Last Year | Daily Wire:

"George Soros spent a record sixteen million dollars trying to oppose President Donald Trump's agenda during his first year in office, a report from The Washington Free Beacon found. It's the most the foreign billionaire has ever spent trying to thwart a president's agenda.

And that's just one organization — Soros's Open Society Foundation, the group Soros uses to coordinate and direct all of his other progressive efforts."

The Real Hidden Tax on Increased Insurance Coverage | Economics21

The Real Hidden Tax on Increased Insurance Coverage | Economics21
"Friends and foes of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) alike tend to target the relative effectiveness of the (soon-to-be-repealed) individual mandate as the key factor behind relatively higher levels of insurance coverage since the law was enacted in 2010. 
...In reality, overall coverage gains under the ACA hit a modest, but relatively stable, plateau well before last month’s tax-cutting budget reconciliation law decided to eliminate further penalties under the individual mandate as of 2019. 

Those initial reductions in the number of uninsured Americans were due primarily to expanded eligibility for Medicaid and, secondarily, to generous subsidies for lower-incomeenrollees in state-based health insurance exchanges.
The less-explored question involves why Obamacare’s overall combination of taxpayer subsidies, expanded insurance programs, health benefits requirements, AND coverage mandates had so much less of an effect than the law’s architects envisioned.
It turns out that many of the nominally uninsured still have other alternatives to health care than just through heavily-subsidized Medicaid and exchange-based insurance. 

You might call such uncompensated care either an option for “implicit insurance” or a hidden tax on acquiring more formal coverage..."

7 Lies Of The ‘Women’s March’, And 1 Thing They Got Right | Daily Wire

7 Lies Of The ‘Women’s March’, And 1 Thing They Got Right | Daily Wire
"While critics of last weekend’s “Women’s March” disparage the parade as the most frivolous protest in the history of the world, pussyhat-clad harpies have responded by shrieking profanities. 
As the historian David McCullough observes, “To write well is to think therefore,” and so the Women’s March vapid mission statement flows as incoherently as one might expect:

The mission of Women’s March is to harness the political power of diverse women and their communities to create transformative social change. Women’s March is a women-led movement providing intersectional education on a diverse range of issues and creating entry points for new grassroots activists & organizers to engage in their local communities through trainings, outreach programs and events. Women’s March is committed to dismantling systems of oppression through nonviolent resistance and building inclusive structures guided by self-determination, dignity and respect.

When the organizers tire of platitudinous vacuity, they settle into the more traditional feminist enterprise of peddling outright falsehoods by insinuating that various rights and privileges are being trampled in the United States. 
Here are the eight “unity principles” of the Women’s March..."

At Long Last, Michigan College Admits It Was Wrong to Arrest People Handing out the Constitution

At Long Last, Michigan College Admits It Was Wrong to Arrest People Handing out the Constitution:

"On September 20, 2016, well over a year ago, Kellogg Community College in Michigan arrested three people for handing out copies of the Constitution on campus.
Yes, you read that right…the Constitution, the very document that protects free speech. It’s amazing this even made it to court.
But it did make it to court, where the Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys with the Center for Academic Freedom presented arguments on behalf of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) – the group that was handing out the copies of the Constitution and asking those that passed by if they “like freedom and liberty.” "

Get Ready for a Meat Tax Push | National Review:
"Remember the old saw, “If it moves, tax it?” 
Well now, there’s a corollary, “If it once mooed, baaed, clucked, quacked, or gobbled, tax it.” 
Yes, here comes the meat tax push–because you know, eating meat to environmentalists and animal rights activists is a terrible sin. 
From the Americans for Tax Reform warning (quoting Bloomberg Law): Excise taxes on beef, pork, and chicken could be the next big thing in a state and local tax environment that’s already comfortable with “sin tax” regimes aimed at cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, and gambling and is adapting quickly to special levies on sugar-sweetened beverages, greenhouse gases, and marijuana..."

WELL, YES: The Russia ‘Fake News’ Scare Is All About Chilling Speech.

David Harsanyi:

If you genuinely believe that Donald Trump’s distasteful tweets are attacks on the foundations of free expression, how can you not be alarmed by a pair of powerful elected officials demanding social media companies hand over information about their users? What would they say if the president had sent a letter to Google insisting they give the executive branch an “in-depth forensic examination” of his political opponent’s searches?

As it turns out, reports today say that Twitter’s internal analysis found that it was mostly Americans, not creepy Slavic mind-control robots, who were behind the hashtags. Not that it really matters, anyway. If a group of Americans have a legitimate issue to rally around, how are they supposed to control what outsiders do? It’s not as if #ReleaseTheMemo was a secret or illegal. Republican politicians were openly using it.

Yet, if Feinstein and Schiff had their way, Twitter and Facebook would have moved to quash the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag for what turned out to be apparently solely partisan reasons. Sounds like a power that can be abused. Even if the two had been genuinely troubled by Russian hashtags — yes, suspend your disbelief — the source of fake news is not always easily discernible. Sometimes it comes to you from an anonymous Russian bot, and sometimes it’s retweeted by a prominent journalist.

Democrats have manufactured panic over amateurish Russian propaganda to not only claim that Vlad Putin was “meddling” in the election, but also to argue that interference had the power to turn the election to Trump. With this risible idea in hand, they have created paranoia about social media interactions and rationalized infringements on expression.

"It’s always about rationalizing infringements on what the proles are allowed to read, say, or do."  Posted by Stephen Green

Illegals commit crimes at double the rate of native-born: Study - Washington Times

Illegals commit crimes at double the rate of native-born: Study - Washington Times: "
The crime rate among illegal immigrants in Arizona is twice that of other residents, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Friday, citing a new report based on conviction data.
And the crimes they were convicted of were, on the whole, more serious, said John R. Lott Jr., the r.eport’s author and president of the research center.
His findings also challenge the general narrative that immigrants commit fewer crimes. 
Those past studies usually don’t look at legal versus illegal populations, Mr. Lott said.
Mr. Lott said the Arizona data is able to peek behind that curtain, and the differences between the populations were stark."

Feminist Even Seeks To Teach Researchers To Do 'Socially Just Science'

Feminist Even Seeks To Teach Researchers To Do 'Socially Just Science':

"After all, science is simply the observation and discovery of facts. While we may argue about the results of a scientific study being definitive, we can't just decide that, say, men and women are exactly the same because it makes someone feel better.
Just kidding. Of course science is now under siege by SJWs, because that's what they do. For example, see the event being held at UC Santa Cruz titled "Research Justice 101: Tools for Feminist Science.""
