The Donald & The La Raza Judge

The Donald & The La Raza Judge - Pat Buchanan:
"Before the lynching of The Donald proceeds, what exactly was it he said about that Hispanic judge?
Stated succinctly, Donald Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a class-action suit against Trump University, is sticking it to him. 
And the judge's bias is likely rooted in the fact that he is of Mexican descent.
Can there be any defense of a statement so horrific?
Just this.

• First, Trump has a perfect right to be angry about the judge's rulings and to question his motives. 
• Second, there are grounds for believing Trump is right.
• On May 27, Curiel, at the request of The Washington Post, made public plaintiff accusations against Trump University -- that the whole thing was a scam. 

The Post, which Bob Woodward tells us has 20 reporters digging for dirt in Trump's past, had a field day.
And who is Curiel?
An appointee of President Obama, he has for years been associated with the La Raza Lawyers Association of San Diego, which supports pro-illegal immigrant organizations.
...All of us are products of our family, faith, race and ethnic group.
And the suggestion in these attacks on Trump that judges and justices always rise about such irrelevant considerations, and decide solely on the merits, is naive nonsense.
There are reasons why defense lawyers seek "changes of venue" and avoid the courtrooms of "hanging judges."
When Obama reflexively called Sgt. Crowley "stupid" after Crowley's 2009 encounter with that black professor at Harvard, and said of Trayvon Martin, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," was he not speaking as an African-American, as well as a president?
Pressed by John Dickerson on CBS, Trump said it's "possible" a Muslim judge might be biased against him as well.
Another "inexcusable" outrage.
But does anyone think that if Obama appointed a Muslim to the Supreme Court, the LGBT community would not be demanding of all Democratic Senators that they receive assurances that the Muslim judge's religious views on homosexuality would never affect his court decisions, before they voted to put him on the bench?
...The most depressing thing about this episode is to see Republicans rushing to stomp on Trump, to show the left how well they have mastered their liberal catechism."

SHERIFF CLARKE: Violent San Jose Thugs Are Employing Same Tactics Used in Jim Crow South to Intimidate Blacks (Video)

On Thursday night Trump supporters were assaulted, spit on, beaten, cold-cocked, egged, chased, tackled and bloodied as they left the San Jose Trump rally by mobs of far left, Mexican nationalist, Socialist, SEIU and anarchist thugs.

Trump supporters were left bloodied and beaten in the street.
The San Jose police chief admitted he held back from interfering when the conservatives were beat down in the streets.

Video released on Monday shows street thugs terrorizing and beating Hispanic Trump supporters.

Monday night on Hannity Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke called on Attorney General Loretta Lynch to send in the FBI and Civil Rights lawyers to investigate the violent thugs in San Jose.

Sheriff David Clarke: Well, this is premeditated organized violence and these are riot-makers that show up at these events. What the mayor said was obviously ridiculous. But, Sean what I’m ticked off about right now is why Attorney General Loretta Lynch has not dispatched the FBI and dispatched lawyers from the Civil Rights Division to investigate and prosecute and identify people who are using the same type of tactics that were used in the Jim Crow south to frighten and intimidate blacks from participating in the voting process. That’s why this is done to strike fear and intimidation in the hearts of these people who want to come and hear the candidate of their choice. This is constitutionally protected. This is a Civil Rights violation and they are entitled to that same equal rights protection under the law as anybody else or any of the other protected class. It appears to me that the United States Department of Justice doesn’t care what happening because these people are white and they’re Trump supporters.

$4.8 million to boost efforts to restore Detroit River habitats

$4.8 million to boost efforts to restore Detroit River habitats - Crain's Detroit Business:
"Efforts to restore wildlife habitats on and around islands in the lower part of the Detroit River are getting a $4.8 million boost.
U.S. Sens. Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan on Friday announced the funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to part of the Friends of the Detroit River's Stony Island Habitat Restoration Project. The area is important for fish spawning.
In a statement, Stabenow said the funding "will strengthen habitats around Stony Island so that fish and wildlife can flourish once again, making the Detroit River a destination for anglers and all who enjoy Michigan's natural beauty."
The senators also noted that $2.3 million was awarded in February to restore fish and wildlife habitats in the Stony Island upper bay."

Secretary without honor: Voices

Secretary without honor: Voices
When I hear people say Clinton emails don't matter, I remember a young Marine captain who owned up to his career-ruining mistake.
Apologists for Hillary Clinton’s alleged criminal mishandling of classified documents say that it doesn’t matter, that she really did nothing wrong, or nothing significant.
But the real question is not so much what she did as how she has responded to being found out.
Once during the mid-1960s when I was on active duty in the Marine Corps, I was the air liaison officer for a battalion of Marines aboard 11 ships in the Mediterranean.
As the air officer and a senior captain, I had a rotating responsibility for the nuclear code book, kept in the safe in the operations room of the lead amphibious squadron command ship.
I shared that duty with another captain, a squared away young man, liked by all he commanded and the son of a very high-ranking Marine.
On the day our ships were leaving the Mediterranean, we met the new amphibious squadron near Gibraltar and made preparations to transfer security codes and other sensitive material to the incoming Marine battalion.
The young captain was on duty and went to the operations office to pick up the code book. 
He was alone in the office.
He removed the code book and placed it on the desk while closing the safe. In a rushed moment, he stepped across the passageway to retrieve something he needed from his quarters.
Seconds later, he stepped back into the operations office and found the operations sergeant having just entered, looking down at the code book.
Against all regulations, the code book had been out of the safe and unattended.
It mattered not that it was unattended for only seconds, that the ship was 5 miles at sea, or that it was certain no one unauthorized had seen the code.
The captain could have explained this to the operations sergeant. 
He could have told the sergeant that he “would take care of it.” 
He could have hinted that his high-ranking dad could smooth it over.
But the Marine Corps’ values are honor, courage and commitment.
Honor is the bedrock of our character.
The young captain could not ask the sergeant to betray his duty to report the infraction, no matter how small. Instead, the captain simply said, “Let’s go see the colonel....”
Read on and see real honor:

Electric Bikes Won Over China. Is the US Next?

Electric Bikes Won Over China. Is the US Next? - Slashdot:
"Sales of electric-bike is growing in many parts of the world.
Asia-Pacific region, for instance, is estimated to see 32.8M of them sell this year, and 1.6m of e-bikes are expected to be sold in Western Europe by the end of this year.
In China, in particular, the ban on motorcyle has lead to massive e-bike adoption.
Over the years we've seen many companies such as BG and Pedego dish out models after models, offering bikes ranging from elegant folding versions to flat-tire variants.
Despite all the growth elsewhere in the world, North America and Latin America are estimated to see less than 250,000 inventories move this year.
But going forward, the number is likely to see a major growth.
From a Bloomberg article:
Electrics "finally have legs to be able to take off in the U.S.," because cyclists are feeling safer on the roads, battery and motor technology is improving, and retail prices are dropping, says Todd Grant, president of the National Bicycle Dealers Association.
However, e-bikes have been banned in some U.S. cities because of safety concerns. [...]
The U.S. market could develop "way faster" than Europe's did, says Claus Fleischer, who heads Bosch's e-bike division.
The German multinational began selling motors and batteries for electric bikes in 2011 and now supplies more than 60 brands, primarily in Europe. 
It opened a subsidiary in Irvine, Calif., in 2014 and is sponsoring e-bike expos across the U.S., including one in Portland, Ore., that ran for three days in late May."

Gluten-Free Water? A Fad Without a Grain of Sense

Gluten-Free Water? A Fad Without a Grain of Sense - WSJ
"Gluten-free foods have swept across America. Millions of consumers are convinced that a diet devoid of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley and rye—is the cure-all for everything from dementia and schizophrenia to diabetes and obesity.
This fear has become so widespread that the market for gluten-free foods is estimated to hit $15 billion by the end of this year, according to the research firm Mintel.
Food marketers have even slapped the gluten-free label on products that never would have contained it:
For instance, Hint sells fruit-flavored bottled water that it proclaims as gluten-free. 
No kidding.
Countless nutritionists and health reporters have called out the gluten-bashing for what it is: overblown.
Yet the fad speaks to a long-held American tendency to value foods based on what they lack, rather than on, say, their taste, seasonality or overall nutritional value.
That mind-set took hold during the fat-free frenzy of the 1980s and ’90s.
Over time, being bombarded by nutritional claims on labels has taught Americans to reduce foods to tallies, loading up on or avoiding grams of this or that specific nutrient or ingredient.
Gluten is only today’s demon.
Let’s get some numbers out on the table.
According to the National Institutes of Health, about 1% of Americans have celiac disease, a serious immune reaction triggered by gluten that damages the small intestine. 
About 6% are estimated to have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, a far less severe condition that is not yet well understood but appears to be associated with symptoms such as diarrhea and constipation, headaches and fatigue, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation.
One more number: Almost a third of Americans are trying to avoid gluten..."

EXPOSED: Truth About Anti-Trump Judge Finally Comes Out... Look Who He REALLY Is:
"The judge in the Trump University case, who has been frequently criticized by Donald Trump’s lawyers for perceived political bias, has been revealed to have been a member of a legal group affiliated with the largest radical Hispanic organization in the United States.
According to a report in The Daily Caller, Judge Gonzalo Curiel revealed that he was a member of La Raza Lawyers of San Diego during a questionnaire before his appointment as a federal judge in 2011.
On the group’s home page, its “community” links include the radical group La Raza.
La Raza, which translates literally as “the race,” has been critical of Trump’s campaign, even going as far as calling “Saturday Night Live” a “platform for hate” when “SNL” allowed Trump to appear on the show last year."

"A former CIA official who specializes in detecting deception is offering his take on on whether former State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told the truth when she claimed she had nothing to do with the “deliberate” editing of a 2013 exchange about the status of U.S. nuclear talks with Iran.

The Secret History: Obama Is a Nincompoop

The Secret History: Obama Is a Nincompoop | PJ Media
"Whenever you put forward an idea that enrages both the left and the right, you can feel pretty certain you've come close to the truth.
A while back — I can no longer locate the post — I advanced the notion that Barack Obama is a hapless schmuck. 
The theory was greeted with derision from both sides.
Leftists, of course, were furious because it's clear to them that even their president's failures are a product of his genius.
He's just too smart for the rest of us to comprehend what it is he's doing.
Rightists were upset because I had offended their certainty that Obama is evil.
Clearly every disaster of his administration was the result of his careful planning.
He hated America so much that he had schemed and connived to lose her wars and damage her economy, and what a brilliant job he'd done.
They were wrong.
I was right.
The man's a nincompoop.

• An economy that should be in a booming recovery has stalled. 
• A war that was fought and won when Obama took office has to be fought all over again. 
• The "Arab spring" has spiraled into an endless winter of discontent after the administration mishandled nearly every uprising in every nation. 

The most plausible explanation is neither genius nor evil, merely the incompetence of a boob.
Obama's not an idiot. 
He hasn't got a low IQ. 
He's just a fool. 
His ideas about the world are almost entirely wrong, and his ironclad narcissism keeps him from changing his mind.
On top of that, his ideology has served him so well personally — raising him to the country's highest post on the shoulders of a deluded elite and an ignorant public — that he can never acknowledge that it is simply false..."

What Is Hillary Hiding?

What Is Hillary Hiding? | PJ Media
"Like millions of avid news readers, I’ve been trying to sort out the Hillary Clinton scandals.
You know, all that stuff about classified material on her “private” server, sensitive national security secrets that have most likely been lifted by hostiles.
I think we’ve lost track of the central question:  
Why was she so eager to conceal her communications from Congress and the American public? 
Most of the commentary goes something like “because she wanted to evade discovery.”
She dreaded all the FOIAs.
But that only leads to the question another time:
What did she want to hide, and why?  
...What if the concealment had to do with non-policy matters?
Or with policy issues linked to something else?
Money, for example.
Not U.S. government money, but private money that would enrich the Clintons themselves?
The most frightening explanation is that she sold foreign policy favors to the highest bidders to the Clinton Foundation and/or her husband.
Peter Schweizer, the author of Clinton Cash, argues that we can’t understand the “server” story unless we look carefully at the Clinton Foundation.
In his opinion, some of Hillary’s policy decisions were linked to contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  
He calls our attention to the surprising fact that 20% of U.S. uranium is under the control of companies owned by Russia, and the Clinton Foundation pocketed roughly $150 million from the companies and advisers involved in the deals..."

Nixonian palace guard now protects Hillary

Nixonian palace guard now protects Hillary: Jonathan Turley
"Greatest danger from electing Clinton president may be her cadre of fawning aides.
It has taken almost 50 years, but the Democrats have finally found their inner Nixon.
Make no mistake about it: Hillary Clinton is the most Nixonian figure in the post-Watergate period.
Indeed, Democrats appear to have reached the type of moral compromise that Nixon waited, unsuccessfully, for Republicans to accept:
Some 71% of Democrats want Clinton to run even if indicted.
While Obama could be criticized for embracing Nixon’s imperial presidency model, his personality could not be more different from his predecessor.
Clinton however is the whole Nixonian package.
On a policy level, her predilection for using executive and military power is even coupled with praise for (and from) Nixon’s secretary of State, Henry Kissinger.
However, it is on a personality level that the comparison is so striking and so unnerving. 
Clinton, like Nixon, is known to be both secretive and evasive.
She seems to have a compulsive resistance to simply acknowledging conflicting facts or changes in position.
She only makes admissions against interest when there is no alternative to acknowledging the truth in a controversy..."

Plastic Bags Are Good for You

Plastic Bags Are Good for You - Reason.com:
Here is a list of things that are thicker than a typical plastic grocery bag: 
A strand of hair. 
A coat of paint. 
A human cornea.

High-density polyethylene is a miracle of materials science. 
Despite weighing less than 5 grams, one bag can hold 17 pounds, well over 1,000 times its own weight. At about a penny apiece, the bags are cheap enough for stores to give away and sturdy enough to carry home two gallons of milk in the evening and still be up to the task of scooping Cujo's poop the next morning.
Yet almost as soon as grocers started offering their customers the choice of "paper or plastic?" these modern marvels became a whipping boy for environmentalists, politicians, and other well-intentioned, ill-informed busybodies. 
Plastic bags for retail purchases are banned or taxed in more than 200 municipalities and a dozen countries, from San Francisco to South Africa, Bellingham to Bangladesh. 
Each region serves up its own custom blend of alarmist rhetoric; coastal areas blame the wispy totes for everything from asphyxiated sea turtles to melting glaciers, while inland banners decry the bags' role in urban landscape pollution and thoughtless consumerism.
But a closer look at the facts and figures reveals shaky science and the uncritical repetition of improbable statistics tossed about to shore up the case for a mostly aesthetic, symbolic act of conservation.
How did one of the most efficient, resource-saving inventions of the 20th century become an environmentalist bugaboo?..

Durex takes couples' phones away, enjoys wild viral hit

Durex takes couples' phones away, enjoys wild viral hit - CNET
You know that Mark Zuckerberg wants you to share and share alike.
All the time. Until you're dead. Or even after.
Somewhere, though, in what remains of your heart, there's a desperation to just be in the sun with the one you love and have no tech to distract you.
This is exactly the dream given to some people by condom maker Durex.
In a wonderful experiment, it challenged couples to go on vacation and leave their phones and iPads at home.
The company claims that 40 percent of people are less likely to try friskiness if their partner's on the phone in bed. Gadgets have truly turned into love interests.

So Durex created the #DoNotDisturb hashtag (wait, that's dragging people toward tech, isn't it?) and sent six couples away on vacation. 

Half were allowed gadgets. 

Half were not.
The company then posted the results to YouTube, where almost 20 million people have already come to watch.
Even more entertaining was her annoyance at her partner who's texting with someone else over dinner. 

She was angry, but she still had her phone in her hand.
The core depressing truth emerges at the end of the video.
One loving man admits to his partner that he can't make it last. 

He says that the tech will creep back in, but he promises it won't be as bad as before.
Should she believe him? I'm not confident."

Credit binge could hit $1 trillion. Yes, that's a 'T'

Credit binge could hit $1 trillion. Yes, that's a 'T':
"Just one trip to the cupcake store — plus a follow-up call to my credit card company — gave me a glimpse into how Americans are moving closer to ringing up $1 trillion in credit card and other debt.
On a whim, I pulled out my credit card to buy six extra cupcakes to add a little variety to the dessert table for my son's high school graduation party.
I had already paid for my order of 50 cookies-and-creme cupcakes weeks earlier, and I was picking up the goodies for the party.
Oddly enough, my credit card was rejected on the spot for a $12 purchase for those extra cupcakes. Sure, my spending was way up after the added expenses during the final weeks of my son's senior year.
But believe me, I was nowhere near my credit limit.
My immediate thought: Someone hacked into my card.
 I dug for cash, lugged my cupcakes home and called the credit card issuer.
While waiting on the phone to find out what happened — nothing did, the clerk somehow ran into a glitch at the store — the card issuer's automated system suggested that I update my income for their records.
The recorded voice planted the thought that I could soon qualify for a larger line of available credit. One minute, I need to cough up cash to pay for six cupcakes.
Another minute, I'm likely to add hundreds or thousands more dollars onto my credit line.
Say good-bye to the credit crunch and the Great Recession.
Credit card issuers are pushing cashback and 0% credit cards, opening up doors for the subprime borrower and offering bigger lines of credit when possible.
The number of new credit card accounts jumped to 80.3 million — up 16.3% from a year earlier, according to the American Bankers Association's latest Credit Card Market Monitor.
New accounts are being driven, in part, by a 26% increase year-over-year in new subprime accounts, which bankers say still remain below prerecession levels, according to the ABA Credit Card Monitor for May 2016...
...About $662 billion in credit card debt is outstanding, according to data from Moody's Analytics and Equifax.
That figure includes $593 billion in outstanding balances on bank cards and $68.8 billion on retail cards for specific merchants.
Add about $320 billion in consumer finance loans and other consumer credit, and you get closer to a much-talked-about $1 trillion figure."
