War on Truth

By Tammy Derouin

Truth and logic are no longer part of the political equation.  For the Left, they have become pesky, annoying inconvenient truths.  When the facts don’t add up in their favor or when the truth threatens their agenda, an all-out war gets underway.

We now live in a world where the desired outcome is predetermined.  Actions and deeds play out as if they were scripted.  The truth is no longer relevant.  In fact, if the truth does manage to find its way to the surface, a political task force rushes to the scene, destroys the evidence, scrubs and sanitizes the damning mess and resets the scene to their liking.  Media outlets all across the nation are ready to redirect our attention while a new reality is under construction.

There once was a time when you could rely on the truth to set the record straight.  Justice is dependent upon truth.  When it’s revealed but ignored, justice does not exist.  Our government has repeatedly ignored the truth and has sought to conceal it. The war on truth is a continuous, tiresome battle for the Left.  They are fully aware that facts will destroy them, which is why they attack so feverishly. Their existence is depended upon lies and uninformed constituents.

The lack of concern for the crimes of our current administration is disgraceful..... 

The Real Reasons Democrats Fight School Choice and Charter Schools

The Real Reasons Democrats Fight School Choice and Charter Schools
"There is no valid argument against school choice or charter schools.
Zip, zero, ze.
Even people on the left acknowledge the public school system blows chunks. 
Hence their constant cries for more funding.
Because right behind those appeals to emotion, the leftists’ favorite pastime is throwing money at a problem.
Not their money, though.
Your money.
What were you going to do with it anyway?
Put it toward your child’s education?
LOL!
Loser.
But what the left never wants to discuss is how denying school choice hurts one of their favorite victim classes. 
No, not Muslims.
The next favorite victim group.
No, not the transgenders.
Okay, the third favorite victim group.
The “poor” and “downtrodden” get tossed under the school bus.
They are merely sacrifices at the altar of teachers’ unions.
Unions in 2016, by the way, are little more than a Democrat money laundering scheme. 
It is not a mean senator or congressmen who is pro-school choice that’s preventing your wee one from getting a better education.
A rich (yes rich) teachers’ union is preventing little Johnny or little Janey from learning their multiplication tables. 
Or Jamal.
Muhammad.

VA Suicide Hotline Reform Bill Passes House, Reid Crushes It

VA Suicide Hotline Reform Bill Passes House, Reid Crushes It | The Daily Caller:
"A bill to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs suicide hotline sailed unanimously through the House last week, until Senate Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid blocked the legislation and refused to let it come to the floor for a voice vote.
The House approved GOP Rep. David Young’s bill last Monday by a vote of 357-0. Young introduced the legislation after hearing numerous complaints from constituents that the Veterans Crisis Line, designed to provide support for veterans feeling suicidal, simply failed to answer emails or calls.
The bipartisan bill passed the House without a hitch and Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar teamed up with GOP Sen. John Thune to move the legislation through the Senate.
Both majority and minority staff on the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs cleared the bill,..
...Republicans have referred to Reid’s actions as obstructionism, with some speculating his recent decisions on legislation are retaliation in response to refusal to move forward with Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.
Reid has played the same move on numerous bills.
...Recently released data from the VA show that approximately 20 veterans commit suicide every day.
A report from the Government Accountability Office has provided credence to constituent complaints, finding that almost 30 percent of texts to the hotline went unanswered..."

OMG! Clowns!!!-----Boy injured, 2 women frightened by clowns in separate Sterling...

Boy injured, 2 women frightened by clowns in separate Sterling...:
"A boy was injured Tuesday evening by a man dressed as a clown in the Sterling Estates mobile home park, police said.
Police said the clown placed a butter knife on the boy's arm.
It's unclear if the clown purposely cut the boy or if the boy was cut when he moved away from the knife.
"He had red hair and a red nose and a mask on," Justin said.
"He grabbed my wrist and then he used the other hand to, he dragged the knife on my arm slowly."
The incident happened around 7 p.m., police said.
**READ: Texas schools beef up security after creepy clown threats**
Sterling Heights detectives are investigating at the scene.
Tracking dogs are out and detectives are on the street searching for the man. 
Police said clown sightings are no longer amusing.
Justin's mother called police.
Shortly after she called 911, about two miles away, another 911 call came in from two women.
The women reported that three men dressed as clowns scared them with baseball bats.
The women said the clowns lunged at them, so they took off.

"During remarks about his new documentary “Before the Flood” at the White House’s South by South Lawn event celebrating and encouraging innovation, DiCaprio said, “We must empower leaders who not only believe in climate change but are willing to do something about it.”

“The scientific consensus is in and the argument is now over,” DiCaprio said. “If you do not believe in climate change, you do not believe in facts or in science or empirical truths and, therefore, in my humble opinion, should not be allowed to hold public office.”"

When good intentions degenerate into rent-seeking

When good intentions degenerate into rent-seeking:
"The term "rent-seeking" needs to gain greater currency. 
The term shows how more regulation and more government micro-management stifle opportunities for ordinary citizens, and how bureaucracies accumulate more power at everyone else's expense.
Rent-seeking occurs when a political faction or particular economic interest uses its clout with government to hobble competitors, so it can raise prices without offering a better product. 
Rent-seeking is related to, but more specific than, the vague term "crony capitalism."
Rent-seeking doesn't have to be a deliberate attempt to bribe lawmakers or regulators. 
It can consist of recognizing an opportunity and seizing the advantage. 
Activists blocking the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Kansas provide a textbook case. Pipelines are the safest, most economical way to transport oil, gas, and many other fluids. 
Oil is a global commodity with valuable efficient uses, few of which are easily substituted. 
Because the oil business is global, demand for oil is not determined by access to any one pool.
Unfortunately, Keystone XL became a political football, and completion was stymied by activists and pliant politicians in the Obama administration. 
Oil is still being produced in Canada and shipped to U.S. refineries, but in rail cars that are more expensive and accident-prone. 
Most of the tank cars travel on a railroad owned by Warren Buffett, who benefits while consumers and the environment endure higher costs and higher risks. 
Buffett is in effect a rent-seeker.
Two of the referendum questions on this election's Massachusetts ballot are troublesome examples of rent-seeking. 
Question 2 seeks to expand use of charter schools in the commonwealth. 
Principal opponents are teachers' unions and administrators who see charters as a threat to their traditional dominance. 
Potential beneficiaries are students and parents who might enjoy more choices within public education. 
...Rent-seeking nearly always cements entrenched power against the interests of people with fewer advantages. 
Put on your thinking caps and you'll recognize similar patterns on many issues. 
An electorate devoted to liberty, opportunity and uplift of the unfortunate should not promote rent-seeking."

Students told not to use term 'Greek Life' because of 'cultural appropriation'

Students told not to use term 'Greek Life' because of 'cultural appropriation' - The College Fix
"Students involved in a fraternity or sorority at the University of California Merced have been instructed not to use the terms “Greek,” “rush” or “pledge” because they are “appropriating Greek culture” and are “non-inclusive,” several students told The College Fix.
In particular, they’ve been told:
Replace “Greek Life” with “Fraternity and Sorority Life”
Replace “rush” with “recruitment”
Replace “pledge” with “potential new member”
“Greek Life” is an ubiquitous term that for decades has represented and encompassed fraternity and sorority activities and organizations nationwide on college campuses.
But in recent years, fraternities and sororities have come under intense pressure and scrutiny by campus leadership — students and administrators alike.
The groups are frequently charged with cultural appropriation for the themed parties and fundraisers they host.
At UC Merced, the students said the prohibition of the term “Greek” has been handed down largely by Fraternity and Sorority Life staff coordinator Richard Arquette, who did not respond to repeated requests seeking comment.
....The word “rush” was last used in the 2011-2012 academic year.
Its use was prohibited because it “promoted a negative stereotype of fraternities and sororities.”
The word “pledge” was last used in 2012 because it is considered “a form of hazing.”
Arquette now strongly discourages the use of the word “Greek.”
The student, a former member of the Fraternity & Sorority Council who asked to remain anonymous because he didn’t want to run the risk of his fraternity being punished, told The Fix that Arquette told students in Fall 2015 that using Greek Life is “appropriating of Greek culture, perpetuated bad stereotypes, and not an inclusive term...”

Liberal Chick-fil-A hysterics reach a whole new level of bizarre

Liberal Chick-fil-A hysterics reach a whole new level of bizarre
"The intolerant liberal Chick-fil-A hate has reached a whole new level of bizarre hysterics.

Democrats in Pinellas County, Fla., are up in arms over the county supervisor of elections’ decision to hold voter registration drives at nine Chick-fil-A locations.

The point of contention, Mark Puente reports for the Tampa Bay Times, is that Chick-fil-A is “known for putting faith ahead of profits” and “supports conservative causes.” Therefore, holding a voter registration drive at its locations would ruin the integrity of the election.

"Susan McGrath, leader of the Stonewall Democrats and head of the Pinellas Democratic Party, said the decision to use Chick-fil-A would be similar to a Democratic supervisor of elections holding the event at Planned Parenthood,” writes Puente. Said McGrath: “it might be more transparent to hold the voter drives at the Republican Party headquarters.”

Ummm …

1. OK, cool. So we’re finally admitting that Planned Parenthood is definitely an arm of the Democratic Party?
2. Wait … we’re comparing a chicken sandwich joint to America’s number one provider of abortions?

In case you’re wondering, McGrath has accounted for the obvious logical objection to her characterization of Chick-fil-A as a Republican voter recruitment factory (and not a chicken sandwich joint).

"While some Democrats may occasionally dine at Chick-fil-A (and perhaps even members of the LGBT community), the coordination of Pinellas voter registration activities with this right-leaning business very clearly conveys that your office is targeting Republican-leaning voters," McGrath wrote to the supervisor of elections.

That’s a bulletproof argument right there, folks. Some Democrats “may occasionally dine at Chick-fil-A,” but Chick-fil-A is “clearly” an arm of the Republican Party (and not a chicken sandwich joint).

It’s not a new thing for liberals and progressives to hate on Chick-fil-A. But to compare a chicken sandwich joint to an abortion mill? Really?

Really?

Obama amnesty shot down – again!

Obama amnesty shot down – again!:

"For the second time, and without comment, the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected President Obama’s tactic of granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens through administrative actions.

The high court on Monday declined to revisit the dispute, as the White House had wanted.

Fox News reported the case might still return to the Supreme Court at a later date but almost certainly not while Obama is president.

The issue has been percolating throughout Obama’s tenure in the White House. He repeatedly stated he alone didn’t have the authority to change America’s immigration laws to allow amnesty for millions of illegals and tried to pressure Congress to take action."

Tilt-Rotor Drone, On Display at Army Show

Tilt-Rotor Drone, On Display at Army Show | Defensetech:
"Textron Inc.’s Bell Helicopter unit on Monday touted its just unveiled tilt-rotor drone program for the Marine Corps, along with its V-280 Valor tilt-rotor entrant in the Army’s Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator competition.

...Tobin, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and AH-64 Apache gunship pilot, said the ship-based Vigilant would weigh about 29,000 pounds, have a 37-foot fuselage and a 65-foot wingspan — about the size of the Air Force‘s medium-altitude drone MQ-9 Reaper.
The advantage of the Vigilant, based on the technology of the MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, is that it eliminates the need to be land-based to provide what Bell called “lethal reach and runway independence,” Tobin said.
The V-247 would cruise at 250 knots, the same as the V-22, allowing the Vigilant to serve as an armed Osprey escort, he said."

Kerry Without Clothes

Kerry Without Clothes - The New York Sun:
"It’s hard to recall a scoop that exposed the bankruptcy of post-Vietnam diplomacy in a more devastating fashion than Anne Barnard’s dispatch in the New York Times giving a glimpse of Secretary of State Kerry complaining about his country – to the Syrians.
His beef with America? 
That we won’t support his call for a war in Syria. 
“Over and over again,” writes Ms. Barnard, Mr. Kerry “complained to a small group of Syrian civilians that his diplomacy had not been backed by a serious threat of military force.”
What’s so powerful about her story is that she bases it on audio recordings, obtained by the Times, that enable us not only to read Mr. Kerry’s petulance.
We can also hear Mr. Kerry whinge about how no one will follow the man who the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth long ago convinced Americans was unfit for command.
“I think,” Mr. Kerry complained at one point, “you’re looking at three people, four people in the administration who have all argued for use of force, and I lost the argument.”
How in the world could that be?
It’s not, after all, that Americans have refused to send our GIs overseas to make the world safe for Democracy.
We’ve been doing this since Woodrow Wilson made his famous vow – or even before, if one wants to feature San Juan Hill and Mexico.
It may be that Mr. Kerry – or, in Secretary Clinton, his predecessor – will insist the blame lies with the dreaded neo-conservatives.
But it wasn’t they who retreated from Iraq and Afghanistan and the rest of the war against Islamic terrorism.
No, the architects of that retreat were President Obama, the Democratic Party, and Secretary of State Clinton..."

Our Political Predicament

Our Political Predicament - Thomas Sowell:
"There is no point denying or sugar-coating the plain fact that the voters this election year face a choice between two of the worst candidates in living memory.
A professor at Morgan State University summarized the situation by saying that the upcoming debates may enable voters to decide which is the "less insufferable" candidate to be President of the United States.
My own take on this election is that the voter is in a situation much like that of an American fighter pilot in World War II, whose plane has been hit by enemy fire out over the Pacific Ocean and is beginning to burst into flames.
If he bails out, there is no guarantee that his parachute will open.
But even if he lands safely in the ocean, he may be eaten by sharks.
If he comes down on land, he may be captured by the Japanese and tortured and/or killed.
In other words, there are huge and potentially fatal risks.
But, if he remains in the plane, he is doomed for certain.
To me, Donald Trump represents multiple and potentially fatal risks.
But Hillary Clinton is a certainty of disaster.
Her vaunted "experience" is an experience of having repeatedly made decisions that turned out to be not merely wrong but catastrophic..."

Illegal Foreign Voting in Virginia Covered Up by Soros-Backed Democratic Officials, Says Report - Breitbart

Illegal Foreign Voting in Virginia Covered Up by Soros-Backed Democratic Officials, Says Report - Breitbart:

"“Virginia election officials don’t seem to care that thousands of [foreign] aliens have corrupted their voter rolls,” by illegally registering to vote, said J. Christian Adams, the former Department of Justice lawyer, and now the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. “Even worse than doing nothing about it, they are trying to cover it up,” he told Breitbart News.

Even small amounts of illegal voting can make a decisive difference — Democratic Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring defeated Republican Mark Obenshain in 2013 by a mere 165 votes out of 2.2 million votes cast."

Amazing story!-----70 Years Ago Today, WWII Vets Took Up Arms Against Corrupt Cops and Ran Them Out of Town

70 Years Ago Today, WWII Vets Took Up Arms Against Corrupt Cops and Ran Them Out of Town - Counter Current News:
"Establishment political corruption and election rigging have become so commonplace, the stunning collusion and fraud perpetrated by the Democratic National Committee this year — revealed in several document leaks — seemed virtually inconsequential to vast swaths of the voting public.
To some, however, the coordinated plot to install Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee constituted an unforgivable breach of faith, if not outright criminality — particularly since none of those involved will be held accountable.
Despite this outrage, a parallel feeling of helplessness also settled in — after all, the disillusioned lamented, what could really be done to thwart such a blatant power-grab?
To those who believe such malfeasance is beyond resolve, perhaps a revisit to the Battle of Athens on its 70th anniversary will offer some perspective.
In 1946, war-weary GIs began to return from World War II battlefronts in Europe and Japan, ready to resume life in their sleepy Tennessee town.
What they found, instead, infuriated them to the core.
A power-hungry Democrat and his associates had since usurped local government and law enforcement, and had imposed a maniacal chokehold on the McMinn County town through extortive fines, excess laws, and arrests of anyone who opposed them.
While the soldiers were away fighting power-hungry foreign enemies in 1936, Paul Cantrell, a Democrat from a wealthy and prominent family, used that influence to win the position of sheriff. Though many Athens citizens strongly suspected Cantrell hadn’t been elected through entirely legal means, there appeared to be no way to challenge the results.
As the years passed, Cantrell and his deputies took full advantage of Tennessee law which gave the unscrupulous men a fee for each person arrested, jailed, and released. according to some accounts, the lawmen even pulled over buses that happened to pass through town, summarily arrested everyone on board for drunkenness — whether or not they actually were — in order to profit handily from their misfortune.
But such arrests and fines required paperwork — which meant traceable money — and to some degree hindered the men’s ability to rake in cash..."

Supreme Court rejects NCAA appeal of O’Bannon case

Supreme Court rejects NCAA appeal of O’Bannon case - The Washington Post:
"The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear the NCAA’s appeal of the Ed O’Bannon case, leaving in place lower court rulings that found amateurism rules for big-time college basketball and football players violated federal antitrust law.
The justices on Monday rejected the appeal in a class-action lawsuit originally filed by O’Bannon, a former UCLA basketball star, and other athletes.
...The effect of the high court action is to leave the NCAA vulnerable to more legal challenges that are working their way through the courts.
...In 2014, a U.S. district judge decided the NCAA’s use of names, images and likenesses of college athletes without compensation violated antitrust law.
Judge Claudia Wilken ruled schools could — but were not required to — pay football and men’s basketball players up to $5,000 per year.
The money would go into a trust and be available to the athletes after leaving college.
Wilken also ruled schools could increase the value of the athletic scholarship to meet the federal cost of attendance figure for each institution."

Specifically, as a recent Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filing on the matter put it, one of the man’s co-workers “repeatedly wore a cap to work with an insignia of the Gadsden Flag.”
The cap design in question involves a coiled rattlesnake over the phrase “don’t tread on me,” against a yellow background.
You’ve seen it.
The Postal Service dismissed the complaint.
But, this summer, that decision was reversed by the E.E.O.C., which, after some procedural back-and-forth, ordered the agency to investigate the matter..."

Our nation of wimps-----Creepy clown threat prompts Muskegon schools to enter soft lockdown

Creepy clown threat prompts Muskegon schools to enter soft lockdown | MLive.com: "MUSKEGON, MI –  The creepy clown trend has come to Muskegon, creating enough of a threat to prompt Muskegon Public Schools buildings to enter a "soft lockdown" Monday, according to the police chief.
A general threat made on social media by someone posing as a clown was made against Muskegon Public Schools, said Muskegon Police Chief Jeffrey Lewis.
The threat was "not very detailed," Lewis said, and police are trying to determine the source.
The person making the threat posed with a clown face that "I wouldn't want ... at my child's party," the chief said.
All buildings in the district were in a "soft lockdown," meaning students were kept inside, but people were free to come and go through the usual security measures that are in place, Lewis said.
"We're doing a cursory investigation," Lewis said.
"Obviously, we always look at these as real threats."
Police were increasing patrols around the school buildings, and staff were informed and told to be on alert for possible trouble, Lewis said.
The threat seemed to be specific to Monday, Oct. 3, he said.
"At this point we don't see a specific threat," he said.
"It's almost like they're indicting the schools.""

How Journalists Purge Peers Who Don't Lick Hillary Clinton's Boots

How Journalists Purge Peers Who Don't Lick Hillary Clinton's Boots:
"Media members use group-shaming tactics to either cow ideological defectors into submission, or expel them from their ranks.
This election year has been so perpetually obtuse, we’re no longer shocked by anything.
In 2008, journalists abdicated their investigative roles to usher in the “inevitable” Obama presidency. Today, they’re evolving further away from objectivity, and it’s no surprise to see national press outlets morphing into outright fan clubs for one candidate.
To display this new position they have staked in support of Hillary Clinton, I will endeavor a common media practice: creating a neologism.
A few years back at a party, I met the journalist who created the term “racial profiling.”
...On August 17, famed medic Doctor Drew Pinski made a guest appearance on the KABC talk show “McIntyre In The Morning.”
Pinski dared express deep concerns over Hillary’s health and the care she was receiving.
Hardly of the conspiratorial vein, Pinski’s comments sound rational and thoughtful, derived from a physician’s experience and empirical knowledge.
A week later, Pinski’s own TV show flatlined. 
CNN suddenly cancelled the six-year-old show, with a final broadcast on September 22.
Of course, the official statement from the network called the cancellation a mutual decision and other balloon gas.
But the abrupt mid-season cancellation transpired within a week of Pinski’s KABC appearance. KABC also pulled the interview from their website.
...Days after the good doctor was transformed from practitioner to pariah, The Huffington Post dispatched one of its own in similar fashion—and for similar reasons. 
Writer David Seaman also reported on the subject of Hillary’s health, discussing (and linking to) a YouTube post that detailed some of Hillary’s physical issues and garnered millions of views.
Shortly thereafter, as he details in his own video message, Seaman found his credentialed access to HuffPo revoked and his articles erased from the site.
