"The fix was in from the start, and we are now being governed by a gang of criminals. How else to explain this:

Immunity deals for two top Hillary Clinton aides included a side arrangement obliging the FBI to destroy their laptops after reviewing the devices, House Judiciary Committee sources told Fox News on Monday.
Sources said the arrangement with former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson also limited the search to no later than Jan. 31, 2015. "

Bisexual identity overtaking gay and lesbian in Britain, official stats show

Bisexual identity overtaking gay and lesbian in Britain, official stats show:
'The number of British people defining themselves as “bisexual” has jumped by 45 per cent in just three years, according new official estimates.
For the first time, more young people in the UK describe themselves as bisexual than gay or lesbian combined, the figures from the Office for National Statistics show.
It is the latest evidence pointing to a shift in attitudes towards sexuality, with increasing numbers viewing their own position as somewhere on a spectrum rather than it being a black-or-white question.
A survey by YouGov published last year found that half of young people, and almost a quarter of the population overall, define themselves as something other than 100 per cent heterosexual..."

Alaskan 'Panty Peeler' Beer Under Fire for Promoting 'Rape Culture'

Alaskan 'Panty Peeler' Beer Under Fire for Promoting 'Rape Culture' - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"A Belgian tripel made with coriander and orange peel, Panty Peeler gets good reviews from beer snobs and has been around since the early 1990s.
But—perhaps proving that '90s political-correctness was but a gossamer wing of things to come—it has recently come under fire from the Alaska literary community for promoting "rape culture" and women's objectification.
...this craft-beer controversy brewing in Anchorage is just too silly—and yet typical—to pass by. Apparently, some folks are appalled that the (woman co-founded) Midnight Sun Brewing Company offers a (woman-named) beer called the "Panty Peeler."
The spat, originally confined to the realm of social-media arguments, made it this week to Anchorage NBC-affiliate KTUU, which included critiques from the likes of Fairbanks teacher, poet, and Fulbright Scholar Nicole Stellon O'Donnell ("Great promotional sticker for #rapeculture! Oops, I mean beer made in the state with the nation's highest rates of sexual assault") and Anchorage playwright Peter Porco, who called the beer "retro" and "sex-aggressive..."

Countries Where the Most Young Adults Live With Their Parents | Best Countries | US News: 
"Since the Great Recession of 2008, there have been significant shifts worldwide in the number of young adults living at home.
But in some countries, the change has been more long-lasting and severe than in others.
From 2007 to 2014, the number of youth living at home across the countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development increased only slightly, by 1.2 percent, according to a report released by the organization on Wednesday. 
And in some nations, the percentage of youth living parents actually decreased."

IT WAS ALL A PLANNED SHOW FOR THE CROOKED MEDIA—
On Tuesday Hillary Clinton held another small town hall rally in Haverford, Pennsylvania.

Maybe 200-300 people turned out.

During the event a young 15 year-old girl asked Hillary Clinton a question on body image.

Her name is Brennan Leach.
She has her own IMBD actor’s page.

Young Brennan even has a resume!

Hillary Clinton Email Scandal Side Deals -- FBI & Department of Justice Politicized | National Review:

"These revelations are outlined in a letter Chairman Goodlatte penned yesterday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Goodlatte says his committee learned of the side deals upon reviewing the immunity agreements, which have not been made public. That review naturally prompted a demand by the committee to see the side deals, which — for reasons unexplained — the Justice Department elected not to provide when it gave the committee access to the immunity agreements. The side deals have also not been made public."

NJ Cop Doubles Pension After Spending Nine Years on Paid Leave

NJ Cop Doubles Pension After Spending Nine Years on Paid Leave - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"Despite not having to show up for work since June 2007, Manuel Avila received periodic increases in pay, managed to double his monthly pension and qualified for free healthcare for the rest of his life at the expense of city taxpayers.
Avila qualified for all those benefits while spending the past nine years on paid leave from the Paterson, New Jersey, police department because he was under investigation for having sex with a female prisoner at the city's jail. 
It gets worse, though, because that crime would never have happened if Avila's bosses hadn't already been trying to give his retirement benefits a little boost.
The Paterson Press and NorthJersey.com have the details on how Avila—apparently with plenty of help, or at least an abundance of people willing to look the other way—was able to boost his annual pension to about $70,000 from an estimated $32,000 if he had been forced to retire in 2007 when a police psychiatrist recommended removi
ng Avila from the force.
"But instead of forcing Avila out of the police department, city law enforcement officials decided to allow him to stay on the job for another six months so he could reach a critical pension milestone of 20 years, the court records show," the Paterson Press wrote.
While there, he was charged with sexually assaulting a female prisoner. 
Those charges were dropped in 2010 after the city paid an undisclosed amount of money to the accuser as part of a settlement, but Avila remained on paid leave from the department until finally retiring this year.
The paper reports that state records show Avila's salary was $105,364 on June 1 of this year.
In 2007, his salary had been $80,740, according to state records.
Even though Avila's pension payment hasn't been made public yet—the board responsible for that says the paperwork is still being processed—the paper estimated that Avila will get about $70,000 a year, up from about $32,000 a year if he had been forced to retire in 2007..."

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..."

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."
