Sanctuary Cities & Open the Books -- Trump is Right to Deny Federal Funding | National Review:
"But Trump’s executive order does far more than remove illegal immigrants with criminal records; it threatens to cut federal funding from the nearly 300 “sanctuary jurisdictions” across the country — that is, those government entities within counties, cities, and states that refuse to enforce federal immigration laws and thus to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.
Trump’s threat will not likely coax every sanctuary jurisdiction into enforcing federal law, "

Google Redefines The Word 'Fascism' To Smear Conservatives, Protect Liberal Rioters
Google Redefines The Word 'Fascism' To Smear Conservatives, Protect Liberal Rioters | The Daily Caller:
"Has Google, the world’s most popular search engine, changed the definition of the word “fascism” to protect liberal mobs using violence to silence those who disagree with them politically?
The evidence suggest they have.
You see it on signs at every protest or riot — liberals accuse President Donald Trump of being a fascist.
The word’s association with Adolf Hitler and its use now is no accident, it’s meant to strike fear in people’s hearts of tyranny.
Merriam-Webster defines the word “fascism” as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.”
The secondary definition is “a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.”
This definition reflects the fact that Nazis were, in fact, both fascists and of the political left.
They were the “National Socialist German Workers Party,” which favored a heavy-handed government in business and the personal lives of its citizens.
The authoritarian government of Nazi Germany not only oppressed opposing political views and used violence to enforce it, they supported a powerful central government which heaped social benefits on its citizens.
The second part of Nazism is the “socialist” part, which is very similar to what the modern American political left advocates.
For all their bluster to the contrary, Hitler was a man of the extreme left, and so was fellow fascist and Axis Powers member Benito Mussolini.
But if you type the word into Google, the definition they provide is quite different.
The world’s largest search engine pins fascism on the political right, not the left.
Google defines fascism as, “an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.” (emphasis added)
The secondary definition is, “(in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.”
That’s a striking difference from how the word has been defined for decades..."

Conspiring to stifle free speech is a crime
Conspiring to stifle free speech is a crime: Glenn Reynolds:
"It is time for new laws that will make higher education leaders take the 1st Amendment seriously.
They told me if Donald Trump were elected, voices of dissent would be shut down by fascist mobs. And they were right!
At the University of California, Berkeley campus, for example, gay conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos had to be evacuated, and his speech cancelled, because masked rioters beat people, smashed windows, and started fires.
Protesters threw commercial fireworks at police.
According to CNN: “The violent protesters tore down metal barriers, set fires near the campus bookstore and damaged the construction site of a new dorm.
One woman wearing a red Trump hat was pepper sprayed in the face while being interviewed by CNN affiliate KGO. . . .
As police dispersed the crowd from campus, a remaining group of protesters moved into downtown Berkeley and smashed windows at several local banks.
No arrests were made throughout the night.”
According to CNN, the protests caused over $100,000 in damage.
Yiannopoulous wasn’t the only victim of silencing efforts..."
Whether or not Berkeley loses its federal funding over the Milo riots (and it won’t), I think it’s time for action to address this double standard.

- First, state and local law enforcement agencies need to target violent rioters who seek to silence speakers. It is a felony under federal civil rights law to conspire to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights, among which is free speech. In addition, many states have laws (generally called Klan laws) that punish people who engage in mob violence or intimidation while masked. These should be applied as well.
- Second, perhaps it’s time to have a Title IX-style law banning discrimination according to political viewpoints on campus..."
Ten Answers for Chuck Todd

Ten Answers for Chuck Todd
Ten Answers for Chuck Todd
Chuck Todd and two assistants filed a story this morning: "Ten Unanswered Questions for Donald Trump."
All ten are easily answered if you are willing to work a few minutes online.
But if you are a lazy liberal millionaire TV celebrity, I guess you are too good to do your own homework.
Let me find the answers.
1. Will he keep the sanctions against Russia or scrap them?
Modify. From CBS News:
Trump has said Mexico will pay the $10 billion. Congress will advance the money. Congress authorized the wall 11 years ago.
Todd never asked Obama how he would pay for that $737 billion stimulus in 2009. Obama never did. He put it on the credit card.
3. When will there be an Obamacare replacement plan? And what will it look like?
That's up to Congress. It took Congress 14 months to enact Obamacare after Obama took office.
4. Will Trump follow through on his call to investigate voter fraud in the 2016 election?

Modify. From CBS News:
The Trump administration appeared to loosen U.S. sanctions Thursday that the Obama administration had imposed against Russia in response to its cyberattacks in the 2016 presidential election.
2. How will he pay for his border wall, both in the short term and long term?The Treasury Department published a license that authorizes certain transactions between U.S. companies and the FSB, Russia’s security service and for the importation, distribution or use of “certain information technology products in the Russian Federation.” Such transactions had been
prohibited under Obama administration sanctions imposed on Russia in late December. At the time, the U.S. sanctioned nine entities and individuals including the FSB and GRU. The Obama administration said that the FSB had assisted and provided material support to the GRU in its efforts to interfere with the U.S. election.

Rep John Lewis Pays Big For Attacking Trump, He Is Guilty... - American News - Breaking News, Political News and Updates:
"The Washington Free Beacon reported that a conservative watchdog group was investigating Rep. John Lewis and his chief of staff for violating House ethics rules. The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust made this announcement in a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics, demanding that they investigate the two leaders.
Senior House staff are barred by ethics rules from serving in any fiduciary role for a political organization. Specifically, the rules state campaign treasurers as a role that staffers can’t serve in—something that both Lewis and Collins have violated."

Calls mount for Trump administration to label Muslim Brotherhood 'terrorist organization' | Fox News
Calls mount for Trump administration to label Muslim Brotherhood 'terrorist organization' | Fox News:
"The Trump administration could soon declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, a move that would greatly restrict the controversial group’s global reach and would come despite its insistence that it has peaceful intentions.
Trump himself was often critical of President Obama’s outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has proposed a bill to call for declaring the Brotherhood a terror organization. In the past, it has been accused of supporting terrorist groups around the world, and several countries, including Muslim nations, have banned them."

"New York Sen. Chuck Schumer thought a “pause” in accepting refugees “may be necessary” in 2015 when Barack Obama was president.
But a temporary ban ordered by President Donald Trump in 2017 — barely one year later — literally has him in tears.
Numbers USA dug up some old audio of Schumer telling reporters that a “pause” in taking in refugees “may be necessary.” Listen:
This is a far different reaction than one he delivered on Sunday.
“This executive order was mean-spirited and un-American,” Schumer declared while surrounded by children.
Choking back tears, Schumer said, “I, as your senator from New York, will claw, scrap and fight with every fiber of my being until these orders are overturned,” adding, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”...

Trump Files Early With FEC For 2020 Candidacy, Outmaneuvers Nonprofits
Trump Files Early With FEC For 2020 Candidacy, Outmaneuvers Nonprofits | Zero Hedge
"A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him over the next few years of his Presidency.
Filed on January 20th, 2017, the letter states that, while not an official announcement for reelection, Donald Trump has filed an FEC Form 2 in order to "ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act."
This is an unprecedented, although legal, move for the President to make. Barack Obama did not file for his 2012 re-election bid until April 2011.

Having filed (even if not formally announcing a bid) as a candidate, Trump would be able to coordinate with PACs and other similar organizations.
More importantly, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations would no longer be able to engage in "political speech" which could theoretically affect the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election without running the risk of losing their nonprofit status.
The move effectively bars interest groups from creating nonprofits which they could funnel money into for the purposes of opposing Trump's initiatives.
This will likely create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with the intent of opposing Trump's government. .."University of Chicago to offer 'Intro to Rope Bondage'

"The entire liberal establishment – from the cultural crybabies to the lefty campus snowflakes to the mainstream media to the leading Democratic politicians – is having a nervous breakdown, and it is ugly and self-defeating.
These bullies have been doing for years what they’re now falsely accusing Trump and the Republicans of doing. They are the ones who try to suppress speech, who act lawlessly and tyrannically, who undermine the democratic process, who breach the peace and who disrupt our domestic tranquility.
I remember talking to some college students in liberal la-la land after the election who were swallowing the liberals’ scaremongering narrative that America was on the verge of becoming a police state."

THIS HITLER NONSENSE …
THIS HITLER NONSENSE … – Regie's Blog:
"I am not an expert on Hitler.
But my father is.
He toured post-war Germany extensively in 1957 and ’58 as a child performer. And he often recounts the stories.
He visited an SS widow and got a peek at her husband’s uniform and Luger (that he’d committed suicide with), she had stored in an old trunk, in the attic.
These and other intense experiences in Germany sent my father on a life-long quest to understand this sociopath (Hitler) and the country that allowed itself to be dragged into one of the darkest chapters in world history.
"I am not an expert on Hitler.
But my father is.
He toured post-war Germany extensively in 1957 and ’58 as a child performer. And he often recounts the stories.
He befriended teenage Lebensborn children (if you don’t know what Lebensborn children are …well …before you post anymore about Hitler you should read about them).

My dad is a Hitler/Nazi buff the way Indiana Jones’ dad was a Holy Grail buff.
...But the truth about Nazis isn’t funny at all. It’s bloody and horrible and gut churning.
And it involves machine guns and butchery and inhumanity on a scale that takes your breath away.
Nobody is really a “soup Nazi” …unless they served it in a concentration camp.
The idea of comparing an American president to Hitler is just as absurd …from any angle, in any context.
The American system ITSELF pretty much prevents “Hitlers” from showing up.
And America ITSELF is anathema to what Hitler was trying to create.
An American ANYTHING or ANYONE is hard to fit into the Hitler model. It’s just not apples to apples.
There are some fundamental things to understand about Hitler:
1. He took over a small, failing state that didn’t have separated government, enumerated powers or checks and balances. It’s difficult for a guy like that to show up here, in this system.
2. His entire political career was violent from the beginning. There was always death in his wake. He didn’t just suddenly “turn” violent. It was a pattern …as it always is with sociopaths. This is THE most important thing to watch; the violence. I always keep an eye on who is rioting …breaking things …throwing rocks and bombs. It doesn’t make them Nazis. But it signals how far they’re willing to go.
3. He entered office with his own personal military construct (the SS) with allegiance to him ONLY. They would carry out things the regular military would never carry out: i.e. the murder of private citizens and political opponents. Nothing like that exists or COULD exist in America. We simply wouldn’t allow it.
4. He didn’t start out just killing Jews. He started out euthanizing people with special needs …for the betterment of the care-givers’ lives. (You can decide which side of the aisle favors the extermination of “inconvenient” people).
5. He disarmed the population, then nationalized healthcare and education. (Two-out-of-three of those are Bernie Sanders moves …But, guess what? Bernie isn’t Hitler either …not by a long shot)
The list goes on and on.
But the deal is this:
Hitler was a real life murdering sociopath.
He wasn’t just a charismatic speaker who incrementally fell into bad behavior.
He wasn’t just a racist corrupted by unfettered power. In other words, you or I probably couldn’t end up being Hitler.
A garden variety KKK leader probably couldn’t end up being Hitler either …or a community organizer …or a New York real-estate tycoon.
It’s not that easy or simple.
NONE of our American presidents have ever been Hitler.
But the people of Germany certainly thought FDR was a murdering dictator when B-17s started dropping bombs on them..."

Study: Batteries for wind and solar do ‘more harm than good’ for environment
Study: Batteries for wind and solar do ‘more harm than good’ for environment:
"Trying to store green energy in a battery does more harm to the environment than good, according to a new study by the University of Texas Energy Institute.
Storing solar energy in batteries for nighttime use actually increases both energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the study found.
Researchers concluded that homes which used battery storage ended up consuming between 8 percent and 14 percent more electricity than homes that didn’t.
“The researchers also found that adding storage indirectly increases overall emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide based on today’s Texas grid mix, which is primarily made up of fossil fuels,” reads a summary of the research.
“Because storage affects what time of day a household draws electricity from the grid, it also influences emissions in that way...”
