Former Senate Aide: Senate Leaders ‘Are Really Close to Rallying Behind’ Cruz | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Senate leaders are very close to rallying around Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in order to stop rival Donald Trump, according to one former Senate aide.

John Hart, former communications director for Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn (R) and editor-in-chief of news site Opportunity Lives, told Glenn Beck Wednesday that he has spoken with several former colleagues on Capitol Hill and current Senate aides who have told him Congressional leaders “are really close to rallying behind” Cruz, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)."

Many scientific “truths” are, in fact, false

Many scientific “truths” are, in fact, false - Quartz:
"In 2005, John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, published a paper, “Why most published research findings are false,” mathematically showing that a huge number of published papers must be incorrect.
He also looked at a number of well-regarded medical research findings, and found that, of 34 that had been retested, 41% had been contradicted or found to be significantly exaggerated.
Since then, researchers in several scientific areas have consistently struggled to reproduce major results of prominent studies.
By some estimates, at least 51%—and as much as 89%—of published papers are based on studies and experiments showing results that cannot be reproduced.
Researchers have recreated prominent studies from several scientific fields and come up with wildly different results.
And psychology has become something of a poster child for the “reproducibility crisis” since Brian Nosek, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia, coordinated a Reproducibility Initiative project to repeat 100 psychological experiments, and could only successfully replicate 40%.
Now, an attempt to replicate another key psychological concept (ego depletion: the idea that willpower is finite and can be worn down with overuse) has come up short..."

Wild card for Trump: Who gets to be a convention delegate?

Wild card for Trump: Who gets to be a convention delegate? - The Washington Post:
"With the increasingly loud talk of a contested Republican convention, the obscure process of picking who actually gets to be a delegate is about to get underway in states across the country — with an urgency that has not been felt in decades.
These are the 2,472 people who will be filling Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena in July, many wearing silly hats and waving placards.
...Nearly all will be required to vote for a specific candidate on the first ballot, based on the results of the primaries and caucuses in their states. 
But if no candidate wins enough delegates to clinch the nomination, there will be subsequent rounds of voting.
In that scenario, the vast majority of delegates would be free to vote as they please.
The potential for intrigue is enormous.
State delegations who vote for one candidate on the first ballot could actually turn out to be sleeper cells for another as the voting proceeds.
Nor are they bound at any point to support the candidate to whom they are pledged on fights over rules, credentials, the platform or the vice presidential nominee.
Those kinds of battles can determine whether the convention is an orderly coronation or a street fight, possibly even putting new names in contention.
...The identities and loyalties of individual convention delegates could become the subject of intense interest and scrutiny. 
The process of selecting them will be crucial and will be the subject of hand-to-hand combat in nearly every state over the next few months.
In the Internet era, there is no such thing as a smoke-filled backroom; once-anonymous delegates could find themselves feeling the heat from all sides..."

Sources Reveal The Disturbing Order Chicago's Rahm Emanuel Gave Cops During Trump Protests...Wow:

"Republican front-runner Donald Trump has been the target of vitriolic attacks from all sides — including the GOP establishment, the media, and of course, the left. The Chicago rally that was cancelled last week underscores the malevolence behind the planned protests and, as it appears, the mayor’s office may have contributed to the chaos as the Democrat at the helm of the city wasn’t all that anxious to keep the peace and maintain order."

VIDEO: Harvard students debate whether whites should kill themselves due to ‘privilege’

VIDEO: Harvard students debate whether whites should kill themselves due to ‘privilege’ | EAGnews.org:
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – White lives do not matter, according to a student debater/activist from the University of West Georgia.

Miguel Feliciano, along with fellow West Georgia student Damiyr Davis, reportedly participated in a recent debate with other students at Harvard University.

During an exchange with their opponents, Feliciano suggested that white people should kill themselves because of their “white privilege.”

The exchange was caught on video and posted on YouTube.

“White life is wrong,” Feliciano was quoted as saying by Infowars.com. 
“Our argument is that we should never affirm white life. 
White life is based off black subjugation.”

When a white debater asked Feliciano whether he should commit suicide, Feliciano said “I don’t see why not, it’s ethical.”

When the white debater suggested that it might be better to remain alive and fight the social forces that promote “white privilege,” Feliciano rejects the notion.

“Struggling against the structure means putting yourself on the line, putting your body on the line, do it. Affirmative suicide, that’s cool, it’s one little step in the right direction,” Feliciano said, according to Infowars.com.

Ironically, the debate topic was supposed to be about renewable energy..."

America Is Next: The Migrant Swarm and The Predicted Death of Europe

America Is Next: The Migrant Swarm and The Predicted Death of Europe | The Daily Sheeple
This article, originally posted at ZenGardner.com, is based on an an abridged version of Jared Taylor’s Is this the death of Europe, with substantial additions to the text by Lasha Darkmoon.

“If they are not stopped, Europe will die.”
— Jared Taylor

INTRODUCTION BY LASHA DARKMOON

Europe is under sentence of death. The mass rape and murder of the indigenous population of Europe in their own homelands by the unstoppable hordes of the Third World is now perhaps inevitable. We in our ancestral homelands, clinging to what remains of our cherished heritage, need to prepare for a grim future of unparalleled sufferings.

Europe is dying, dying slowly.

There is no way Europe is going to survive the cataclysms ahead unless Europeans take drastic action, without delay,  to reverse the menacing tide of mass immigration—if necessary by mass deportation of the invaders.  It may one day be necessary, as has recently been suggested in a controversial French novel, to bomb the refugee ships and gun the invaders down on the beaches.

This is a scenario too chilling to contemplate. Heaven forbid it should ever come to this.

Whatever the outcome, we need to prepare for violence: violence by the indigenous protestors at the invasion of their homelands, violence by the conquering hordes who have come to settle these lands where they are not welcome, and violence by the police and the Orwellian police state as they do their best  to crush the protestors and hand over our homelands to the invaders.

The conquest of Europe (and America) by these alien outsiders simply cannot be accomplished without bloodshed. 
Anyone who fails to see this has no concept of history; or the idea that history repeats itself..."

ICE Director Gives Excuse For Failure To Detain Illegal

ICE Director Gives Excuse For Failure To Detain Illegal | The Daily Caller: "
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Sarah Saldana gave a baffling — and seemingly inaccurate — explanation during a Senate hearing on Tuesday for why federal immigration agents failed to detain an illegal alien who killed a 21-year-old Iowa woman in a drunken street race in Omaha in January.
ICE ignored a detainer request made by the Omaha police department last month for 19-year-old Eswin Mejia, Saldana said, because his victim, Sarah Root, had “not passed away” at the time the illegal alien drunk driver bailed out of jail.
That comment appears to be inaccurate since Root died hours after the Jan. 31 crash, in which Mejia was street racing with a .241 blood-alcohol level — three times the legal limit.
Mejia, a Honduran national, left jail on Feb. 5 after posting $5,000 bail.
He is now on the run.
...But ICE denied the initial request, and so the investigator and her lieutenant placed a call to an ICE supervisor.
Their call was never returned, however, deputy Omaha police chief Dave Baker told the World-Herald..."

"Documents recently obtained by WFXT-TV through a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that 73 private employees at nearly 40 airports nationwide have been identified with potential ties to terrorists.

The 73 reportedly flagged employees still were allowed to work at the airports because the Transportation Security Administration did not yet have access to all of the terrorism-related databases used during the vetting process, a report from the Homeland Security Inspector General’s Office stated last year. Although this original 2015 report did not reveal where the 73 airport workers were employed, since its release, the TSA said that it has been given access to all terror-related databases, according to WFXT."

Blinding Bling

By Tammy Derouin

How many votes does it take to vote away our freedom?  We are getting dangerously close to the answer.  For the 2008 presidential election, the American people made a terrible mistake.  We ignored that little voice which was trying to tell us that something wasn’t right.  We didn’t question statements or look at the directions being put before us.  When questions went unanswered or answers didn’t make sense, we didn’t demand an explanation. 

We put the future of our country into the hands of an individual who was virtually unknown and had a lack luster career.  His unchecked background would eventually prove that we had plenty of reasons for concern.  Would we have hired him to guide us had we checked into his background more thoroughly? 

The nation spoke.  Our country decided to follow an inexperienced travel guide.  As time passed, his intelligence was called into question.  Was he really so naïve?  Did he truly not grasp the seriousness of many situations and the potential consequences?  He wouldn’t intentionally steer us in the wrong direction, side with our enemy or deliver our nation into their hands, would he?   

We took a wrong turn, got terribly lost and suffered some long term damage.  The damage was repairable but it would take some time to recover.  The evidence was transparently clear.  Our guide put us all at great risk.  He showed no sign of ending his quest to destroy us and everything we cherished.  We needed to eject him before he drove us off a cliff.

The time had come, with red flags flying everywhere, a new guide needed to emerge. What happened?  The reckless, destructive leader managed to distract the majority of the passengers.  Even with evidence mounting right outside their windows, the lies and deceit were concealed in blinding bling......

At some point, Detroit Public Schools Police officers, who provide security at the state operated high school, used “crowd control devices,” as Oclander put it.
Oclander referred all other comment to school district police, who could not be reached immediately on Tuesday afternoon.

Protesters Violently Riot Over Protected Political Speech

Protesters Violently Riot Over Protected Political Speech :: IPT in the News :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism:
Voltaire – to whom variations on the quote "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" are attributed – is spinning in his grave after the events of the past weekend.
Protesters forced the cancellation or violently disrupted rallies organized by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, as the level of political discourse continues deteriorating over the 2016 election cycle.
Ugly rhetoric is not limited to one party.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has provided his own incendiary comments by routinely targeting the "greed, fraud, dishonesty and arrogance" of Wall Street bankers.
It more befitted the goon squads of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or dictatorial strongman Vladimir Putin than citizens of a country founded by the principle that freedom of speech is the most fundamental freedom in the world.
A principle that distinguishes fascist states from democracies.
Such activities in the U.S. are unfortunately nothing new.
For years we and many others have been accosted and heckled on college campuses around the country, most recently by Brown University students and clergy just three weeks ago over views concerning balancing accepting Syrian refugees with U.S. national security.
In 2010 Muslim students carefully plotted a heckling campaign for a lecture by the Israeli ambassador at University of California, Irvine because he represented the policies of the Jewish state.
To make matters worse, various national well-heeled political organizations allied with the Democratic Party actually encourage and support such conduct.
The George Soros-funded MoveOn.org Political Action not only credited itself for the violence in Chicago, but promises more.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) supported the 11 students who obstructed the Israeli ambassador from speaking. CAIR stated: "Delivering this message in a loud and shocking manner ... falls within the purview of protected speech."
MPAC added "These students had the courage and conscience to stand up against aggression."
The trademark of Code Pink and Black Lives Matter is to disrupt congressional hearings, public events and speeches by political candidates, even those on the left.
They argue that nasty heckling is constitutionally protected.
Well, no, their behavior is not a constitutional right if they are suppressing the ability of others to voice an opinion.

Farming, not fracking, likely causing methane levels to rise, study finds

Farming, not fracking, likely causing methane levels to rise, study finds - Washington Times
A newly released international study finds that farming, not fracking, is the likely culprit behind rising global methane levels, undermining the Obama administration’s crackdown on methane from oil-and-gas production in the name of climate change.
The research published Friday in the journal Science came a day after President Obama unveiled a pact aimed at cutting methane emissions from oil-and-gas producers by 40 to 45 percent from 2012 levels by 2025.
Hinrich Schaefer, an atmospheric scientist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in Wellington, New Zealand, and the lead author of the research team, called the results “a real surprise.”
“That was a real surprise, because at that time the US started fracking and we also know that the economy in Asia picked up again, and coal mining increased.
However, that is not reflected in the atmosphere,” Mr. Schaefer told the website Phys.org.
He said agricultural practices are the likely reason for the spike of methane, or CH4, in the atmosphere since 2007, not fossil fuels, as many have assumed.
“Our data indicate that the source of the increase was methane produced by bacteria, of which the most likely sources are natural, such as wetlands or agricultural, for example from rice paddies or livestock,” Mr. Schaefer said.
The study was conducted by a team of scientists from New Zealand and Germany as well as U.S. researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado.
“The finding of a primarily biogenic post-2006 increase [in methane] is robust.
Further, it seems like that fossil-fuel emissions stagnated or diminished in the 1990s.
Importantly, they are a minor contributor to the renewed [CH4]-rise,” said the article.
The “most probably causes” of the methane spike are “either food production or climate-sensitive natural emissions,” the study concluded..."

YET ANOTHER Gay Hate Crime Hoax

YET ANOTHER Gay Hate Crime Hoax | The Daily Caller
A gay Central Michigan University professor has pleaded guilty for falsely claiming that a random guy at a Toby Keith concert called her a “cross-dressing fag,” punched her in the face and spat on her.
The professor, Mari Poindexter, had alleged that the man approached her at the Aug. 19 concert at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant, Mich., reports The Morning Sun, a local newspaper.
The man began hurling a rich tapestry of obscene slurs at Poindexter, she told police.
Later that night, the professor said, the same man ambushed her in the parking lot of The Cabin — a local bar.
The man thumped Poindexter in the eye, she said, and spat on her.
Poindexter, who announced her lesbianism three years ago and has since been passionate about it, later posted a Facebook photo of herself with an impressive black eye and a corresponding story of indignant outrage. 
That post went viral and was reported by several news outlets.
Much pity ensued.
“We’re proud of you, Mari, for taking a stand,” taxpayer-funded Central Michigan University officials wrote on the school’s Facebook page. “CMU stands with you.”
Turns out, Poindexter got the shiner because she “punched herself in the eye,” according to local police.
Poindexter’s story began to unravel when police probed the incident.
Investigators sat down with her to review security footage from the bar to identify the man, court documents say.
Then, when the investigators informed Poindexter that there was also surveillance footage of the parking lot, she became anxious. 
She said she was no longer interested in viewing any video which might incriminate her assailant.
...The tall tale Poindexter told is the latest in a long series of hate crime hoaxes perpetrated by gay people...
Lots of hateful hoaxes here.
