Dems attend Harry Reid’s portrait unveil and this hilarious photo happened. Spot anything? – twitchy.com:
"So, this just happened:

Um. We don’t think those words mean what you think they mean.

"Oh dear. Democrats:

Never learning and becoming more and more irrelevant.

But, at least they are totally hip to those boss whippersnapper-y kids these days and stuff, right?
No squares here!

They are the cat’s pajamas and can swing dance to that new-fangled “big band” stuff with the best of them, Daddy-o!"

Let the government censor social media?
Trust us, it's for your own good.
Yeah.
Right.
Hillary Clinton attacks ‘fake news’ in post-election appearance on Capitol Hill - The Washington Post:

"Hillary Clinton challenged Congress on Thursday to combat fake and misleading news on social media, using a post-election appearance to tackle an issue that gripped her presidential campaign and culminated with a shooting incident Sunday in Northwest Washington.
...“It’s now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences.
This isn’t about politics or partisanship.
Lives are at risk, lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days, to do their jobs, contribute to their communities,” Clinton said during an address that was otherwise meant as a tribute to retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.)..."

DELINGPOLE: Weather Channel Hot for Fake News; Attacks Breitbart with Bad Science, Logic

DELINGPOLE: Weather Channel Hot for Fake News; Attacks Breitbart with Bad Science, Logic:

"Well, it certainly makes a nice change from the usual tired old tricks deployed by the alarmist establishment — the ad hominem, the Appeal to Authority, etc. And it seems to have been quite effective, too: for a while yesterday, Weather Girl Kait’s attack was the number one item on Reddit, and I’ve received several tweets from impressionable SJW types brimming with righteous indignation at my climate-denying ignorance. Also, I know that several other organisations — including AOL — are keen to join Parker in sticking the boot in. This I find very flattering, because when the liberal media joins forces to try to humiliate you, it means they consider you a very powerful threat."

U.N. Human Rights Council Holds A Moment Of Silence For...Fidel Castro!?!

U.N. Human Rights Council Holds A Moment Of Silence For...Fidel Castro!?! » Louder With Crowder

...The U.N. Human Rights Council.

"Human Rights.
Human.
Rights.
Delegates of the U.N. Human Rights Council opened a meeting in Geneva on Monday by standing silently with heads bowed, after the delegation of Venezuela’s leftist government requested a minute’s silence to “honor” the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Spokesmen for the HRC Secretariat and for U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein did not respond by press time to queries about the appropriateness of the minute’s silence for the leader of a communist regime with a grim human rights record.
...The U.N. is a useless institution run by a coalition of Rain Men. They’re better off counting toothpicks than running the world..."

What the Dakota Access Pipeline Is Really About - WSJ

What the Dakota Access Pipeline Is Really About - WSJ:

"So what is the pipeline dispute really about? Political expediency in a White House that does not see itself as being bound by the rule of law. The Obama administration has decided to build a political legacy rather than lead the country. It is facilitating an illegal occupation that has grown wildly out of control. That the economy depends on a consistent and predictable permitting regime seems never to have crossed the president’s mind."

U.S. Students Falling Flat on Math, Science and Reading Scores

U.S. Students Falling Flat on Math, Science and Reading Scores | U.S. News | US News:
WASHINGTON (AP) — American students have a math problem.
The latest global snapshot of student performance shows declining math scores in the U.S. and stagnant performance in science and reading.
"We're losing ground — a troubling prospect when, in today's knowledge-based economy, the best jobs can go anywhere in the world," said Education Secretary John B. King Jr.

"Students in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Minnesota aren't just vying for great jobs along with their neighbors or across state lines, they must be competitive with peers in Finland, Germany, and Japan."
Math was a stubborn concern.
"This pattern that we're seeing in mathematics seems to be consistent with what we've seen in previous assessments ... everything is just going down," said Peggy Carr, acting commissioner at the National Center for Education Statistics.
The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, study is the latest to document that American students are underperforming their peers in several Asian nations.
The U.S. was below the international average in math and about average in science and reading. Singapore was the top performer in all three subjects on the PISA test..."

How they "think"-----Activists Launch Monthly Fee System For Whites To Pay Blacks

Activists Launch Monthly Fee System For Whites To Pay Blacks | The Daily Caller
"Liberal black activists have launched a monthly “subscription box” designed for white people “to not only financially support Black femme freedom fighters, but also complete measurable tasks in the fight against white supremacy.”
The subscription service is called Safety Pin Box and was launched last week.

Wearing a safety pin has recently become a symbol within the liberal community for one to show solidarity with minorities.
The group is headed by Leslie Mac and Marissa Jenae Johnson.
Johnson is one of the Black Lives Matter protesters who interrupted Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during a speech in Seattle last year.
There are four different types of subscriptions offered by the group.

The “e-ally box” is $25 a month and is “an electronic form of solidarity.”It comes with “exclusive ‘calls to action’ when urgent ally services are needed in times of crisis.” Ally is a term used by Black Lives Matter activists to describe white comrades.
There is then the “pin pals box” which is a box shared by two white people for $100 total. Lucky subscribers get a “physical ‘safety pin’ box shipped to one address with guided two-person tasks for the month.”
There is then the “premiere” box subscription which costs $100 a month. This includes a “physical ‘safety pin’ box shipped to you with guided ally tasks for the month.

Tasks will vary in scope from individual to group assignments, and task categories include data collection, personal development, influencing your networks, and showing radical compassion.”Safety Pin Box did not respond immediately to an inquiry about the amount of subscribers they have.

Another option they offer besides subscription is the one-time “Revenge Box” which costs $50. The description says: “Send this box to a Trump supporter, bigot, or white supremacist of our choice.”The recipient of one of these boxes gets “a link to a website that features highlights of the current movement for Black lives and stories of Black excellence.”

This is not the first online effort seeking donations from guilty white people.
A black woman launched a reparations website in August."

Report: Secret Pentagon study found $125B in wasted spending

Report: Secret Pentagon study found $125B in wasted spending | Washington Examiner

"A Pentagon-commissioned study in 2015 found the Defense headquarters wasted $125 billion.
But upon learning of the study's results, military leaders ordered the findings never be released to the press or public, according to a report published Monday evening.
In January 2015, the Pentagon learned it could cut $125 billion in administrative costs at the Arlington, Va., facility over the next five years.
But Defense leaders chose to keep the report secret in fear lawmakers would cut funding, the Washington Post found..."

Hillary supporter charged with attempted homicide after 'election argument'

Hillary supporter charged with attempted homicide after 'election argument' - The American MirrorThe American Mirror:
"A Hillary Clinton supporter is apparently still sore over the election results, and police say he hit an elderly woman over the head with a chair during an argument about it.

Donora, Pennsylvania police say 27-year-old Matthew Pugh was having an “election argument” with a fellow resident of the Donora Towers high-rise apartment complex when he “reportedly became enraged,” the Observer-Reporter reports.

“He allegedly picked up a chair and hit the woman over the head, knocking her to the floor,” according to the paper.

The chair gashed the woman on the head and she “bled severely.” She suffered other injuries during the fall and was taken to the hospital for emergency medical treatment.

According to police, Pugh left the scene, but was apprehended a short time later.

Donora police say Pugh is a Hillary Clinton supporter and was triggered when “the woman apparently made a comment either against Clinton or in support of Trump,” Donora police Officer Keith Charlton tells the paper.

The Herald Standard newspaper identifies the victim as 69-year-old Maureen Zubrick.

“Both Zubrick and Pugh took a side on the recent presidential election,” Charlton wrote in an affidavit..."

‘No basis in law’: Two Ivy League school presidents take a stand against ‘sanctuary campuses’ – TheBlaze:

"The heads of two Ivy League universities are refusing calls to label their schools “sanctuary campuses,” saying the concept has “no basis in law.”

Princeton University President Chris Eisgruber said in a statement that since the election of immigration hardliner Donald Trump, he’s received calls from various students and faculty members asking him to declare Princeton a “sanctuary campus,” a term applied to colleges and universities that do not comply with federal immigration law in favor of providing a safe haven for illegal immigrants."

McDonald's Hits Back at #FightFor15 Hard With Touching Ad Campaign

McDonald's Hits Back at #FightFor15 Hard With Touching Ad Campaign:
McDonald’s really does respond to #FightFor15 in the best way possible with their new spot, America’s Best First Job.
If you’ve been keeping up with the movement, you likely noticed a pattern among the activists. Leftists pushing a $15 minimum wage seem to have locked onto McDonald’s as their main target (see Minimum Wage Hikes Result in McDonalds Closing Doors. We Told You…).
Well, McDonald’s has an answer for whiny protesters.
And it’s awesome…
McDonald’s just McMelted the faces off of liberals worldwide.
The company made its point in a not so subtle way, sure, but they kept it positive.
Grilling meat byproduct and pink chicken ooze at McDonald’s isn’t meant to be a career, it’s supposed to be a stepping stone on your way to a grown up job.
The thing about minimum wage jobs is they require minimum skills.
McDonald’s gets it, you and I get it, even James Franco gets it.
The only ones not getting it?
Soppy leftist milquetoasts..."
