Experts: China’s social-credit scheme to go worldwide
Experts: China’s social-credit scheme to go worldwide:
The “social credit” system uses computers, algorithms, hundreds of thousands of spy cameras operating around the nation and more to assign to every person “a constantly updated score based on observed behaviors.”
It is intended, Chang explains, to control the entirety of the Chinese population by handing to the Communist Party virtually every detail of individuals’ lives and the power to grant rewards or impose punishments.
For example, officials prevented journalist Liu Hu from taking a flight because he had a low score, Chang noted.

"...For the feminist red-hots, abortion has become a rite of passage.
The only thing wrong with abortion is that you have to get a man involved to need an abortion in the first place.
Denise McAllister, a frequent Fox News guest, public speaker and contributor to PJ Media (so named for those who commentate in their pajamas), offered the observation the other day that feminists and other abortion advocates regard abortion as an easy solution to irresponsible sexual adventuring.
She has been threatened with death by strangulation or rape and forcible abortion, presumably to show her the good times she has been missing.
“At the root of #abortion hysteria,” she had tweeted, “is women’s unhinged desire for irresponsible sex. Sex is their god. Abortion is their sacrament. It’s abhorrent as women have flung themselves from the heights of being the world’s civilizing force to the muck and mire of dehumanizing depravity.”...

John Kerry deserves jail for secret Iran diplomacy
John Kerry deserves jail for secret Iran diplomacy:
Kerry is personally invested in the Iran nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA), from which President Trump walked away. The wisdom of Trump’s action is open to debate, but what is not is this: Trump won the 2016 election. He made clear during his campaign that he opposed the JCPOA, just like Obama made clear during his campaign that he supported outreach to Iran. There was no deception on either man's part.
The Unpardonable Heresy of Tucker Carlson - LewRockwell
The Unpardonable Heresy of Tucker Carlson - LewRockwell"Our diversity is our greatest strength.
After playing clips of Democratic politicians reciting that truth of modern liberalism, Tucker Carlson asked, “How, precisely, is diversity our strength? Since you’ve made this our new national motto, please be specific.”
Reaction to Carlson’s question, with some declaring him a racist for having raised it, suggests that what we are dealing with here is not a demonstrable truth but a creed not subject to debate.
Yet the question remains valid: Where is the scientific, historic or empirical evidence that the greater the racial, ethnic, cultural and religious diversity of a nation, the stronger it becomes?
From recent decades, it seems more true to say the reverse: The more diverse a nation, the greater the danger of its disintegration.
- Ethnic diversity, after all, tore apart our mighty Cold War rival, splintering the Soviet Union into 15 nations, three of which — Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia — have since split further along ethnic lines.
- ...Ethnic diversity then shattered Yugoslavia into seven separate nations..."

Harvard's free tampon program highlights the absurdity of gender theory - The College Fix
Harvard's free tampon program highlights the absurdity of gender theory - The College Fix:
"...Harvard recently launched a program to provide free menstrual products—pads and tampons—to women on campus.
...In fact, the products aren’t necessarily intended for women at all: They’re intended for “menstruators.”
This is a politically correct term that has been gaining popularity in recent years; activists use it to avoid referring to “women,” out of the belief that, as the saying roughly goes, “not all women menstruate and not all who menstruate are women.”
Gender theory, which is as incoherent as it is relentless, has declared that some “men,” i.e. women who think they are men, menstruate; and moreover that some “women,” i.e. men who believe they are women, don’t..."

A friend asked me today why we are so divided when 17 years ago, we came together as one.

"A friend asked me today why we are so divided when 17 years ago, we came together as one.
I've thought about this all day and I came to a conclusion a little while ago.
I've thought about this all day and I came to a conclusion a little while ago.
Our division and partisanship is driven by a distinct lack of fairness.
We can no longer expect to be treated fairly.
- You can't get a fair shake from the government - and if the Mueller investigation proves anything, it is that there is no fairness in our most important federal institutions, especially those represented by the statue of a blindfolded Lady Justice holding balanced scales. If you don't believe that, compare the aggressive nature of the Mueller investigation to the passive nature of the Hillary Clinton email server inquiry.
- You can't get a fair shake from media - now they have an agenda that must be served no matter the cost to their credibility and to our need to be truthfully and factually informed.
- You can't get a fair shake from politicians who have dropped the pretense of serving the people and nakedly scramble over each other for power like scenes from Dante's Inferno..."

How Colleges Teach Students to See Bias When There Is None | Time
“You have blood on your hands. You’re a murderer,” shouted one of the protesters at Judge Brett Kavanaugh during the Senate hearings of his nomination to the Supreme Court.
This apocalyptic rhetoric had been espoused before — at none other than the Yale Law School, immediately after President Donald Trump announced the school’s graduate as his chosen replacement for Justice Anthony Kennedy.
There, a group of alumni and professors circulated an open letter declaring that selecting Kavanaugh “presents an emergency — for democratic life, for our safety and freedom, for the future of our country.” People “will die” if Kavanaugh is confirmed, the letter announced.
By the time of the hearings, Kavanaugh had gone from being a future murderer to an actual one.
These protests, intended to shut down the proceedings — and the fantastical social-media charge that one of Kavanaugh’s former clerks displayed a white-power sign during those hearings — showed how academic identity politics is transforming the non-academic world..."

Sweden's Election Sway To Right May Shake Liberalism | MRCTV:
The utopian dream of a future society without borders, sexual standards, or religion that once seemed inevitable is looking increasingly improbable. Political upheavals such as the election of President Trump, Brexit, and the rise of populist victories in mainland Europe show that tide is increasingly turning against this vision in the same countries most famous for subscribing to it in the first place.

Exactly How Teachers Came to Be So Underpaid in America | Time
"Hope Brown can make $60 donating plasma from her blood cells twice in one week, and a little more if she sells some of her clothes at a consignment store.
It’s usually just enough to cover an electric bill or a car payment.
This financial juggling is now a part of her everyday life—something she never expected almost two decades ago when she earned a master’s degree in secondary education and became a high school history teacher.
Brown often works from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. at her school in Versailles, Ky., then goes to a second job manning the metal detectors and wrangling rowdy guests at Lexington’s Rupp Arena to supplement her $55,000 annual salary.
With her husband, she also runs a historical tour company for extra money.
“I truly love teaching,” says the 52-year-old. “But we are not paid for the work that we do.”
That has become the rallying cry of many of America’s public-school teachers, who have staged walkouts and marches on six state capitols this year.
From Arizona to Oklahoma, in states blue, red and purple, teachers have risen up to demand increases in salaries, benefits and funding for public education..."

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change inclimate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.
