WHY IS NBC LYING ABOUT ELIZABETH WARREN? 
In a story headlined Trump Again Derides Elizabeth Warren as ‘Pocahontas,’ NBC’s Daniel Arkin writes: “President Donald Trump returned to one of his most derogatory insults Friday, referring to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” — a jab at her Native American ancestry.”

Now I’m sure that Arkin knows that this isn’t a jab at her “Native American ancestry,” but at her fake Native American ancestry. 
So why pretend otherwise? 
To make Trump look bad. 
Which I guess explains why more people trust Trump than the media after 100 days.

UPDATE: From the comments: 
“Warren = fake Indian. Arkin = fake journalist.”

Puerto Rico releases offer to bondholders

Puerto Rico releases offer to bondholders:
"SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Puerto Rico government is offering to pay its senior creditors around 50 cents on the dollar as part of efforts to address its economic crisis.
The government released at midnight Friday its offer to holders of constitutionally backed general obligation and sales-tax bonds. 
It provides $16.75 billion to cover a $36.38 billion debt, though bondholders could receive an additional $8 billion if the government receives more money than forecast over the next decade.
...The commonwealth loses protection from creditor lawsuits at midnight Monday, but the federal oversight board overseeing Puerto Rico's efforts to straighten out its finances is considering a bankruptcy-like path to restructuring debt that would also give protection from lawsuits..."

Obama Gets Fabulously Rich After Keeping America Poor | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

"Plus, he's cashing in after presiding over eight years of lackluster economic growth and reckless spending that left wages stagnant, pushed millions into poverty and on food stamps, and added trillions of dollars to the federal debt.

Worse still, Obama has spent a lifetime self-righteously sneering at those who made their wealth by producing actual products and services that people want and need. It was Obama, after all, who once lectured the country that "at a certain point you've made enough money.""

The GOP’s Current Obamacare Bill, Coherently Explained | Power Line

The GOP’s Current Obamacare Bill, Coherently Explained | Power Line: 
"...House Republicans now have produced a second version of the bill, which has been improved so as to draw support from the Freedom Caucus.
But what exactly is going on? 
What would the new House bill do? 
Can the Senate improve it, and if so, how? 
And, should conservatives support the current House proposal?
By far the most coherent discussion of these questions that I have seen comes from Peter Nelson, one of America’s top health care experts. 
...He has drafted a simple, clear, three-page explication of what the current bill contains, why conservatives should support it, and how it should be improved by the Senate. 
For clarity and information value, I haven’t seen anything like it.
Peter’s memo is being distributed by national organizations to every member of Congress and their staffs. 
It is expected to have a great deal of influence as the debate over Obamacare repeal proceeds. 
Here it is, hot off the press:"

• Establish a program to guarantee coverage to people with preexisting conditions through a high-risk pool. Prior to Obamacare, a few states operated successful high risk pools that kept premiums affordable for the general population while at the same time provided high quality care at an affordable price to people with high risks.
• Establish an invisible high-risk pool that allows people with preexisting conditions to access the same coverage as everyone else.Traditional high risk pools have been criticized because they segregate high risks from the rest of the market. A state may want to segregate high risks for funding purposes only while at the same time giving high risks the ability to shop for any product in the market.
• Create a new marketplace for high risks where insurers compete to tailor products to specific conditions. In the current market, insurers design products to avoid high risks. States could create a new market for high risks where insurers tailor products to specific conditions, such as cancer and diabetes..."

Blog: The little girl who grew up to sell murdered baby parts

Blog: The little girl who grew up to sell murdered baby parts:
"She is one of the most reviled women in America today among a large swath of the population, infamous for her casual "Lamborghini" joke while discussing the harvesting of aborted unborn babies for their organs in an undercover 2015 video exposé, yet Planned Parenthood executive Mary Gatter was once a small girl in pigtails precociously gazing at the camera on a sunny day.

Gatter is back in the news after a new video from the Center For Medical Progress finds her doubling down on her shockingly callous remarks of two years ago.  
"I did it in L.A. I'm committed to it, I think it's a great idea," she says of trading the organs of murdered babies for cash in the new video.

"What kind of volume do you need and what gestational ages?" Gatter, who now serves as Planned Parenthood, Pasadena, Calif. medical director, coldly asks after being notified that a would-be customer is looking for liver, lung, and brain parts from unborn babies.

Gatter has been pilloried for haggling over the price paid to Planned Parenthood to collect intact fetal specimens, with her tossed off joke, "I want a Lamborghini," marking her as especially unfeeling in the eyes of an outraged public.

In the new video, the bargaining continues, with her casually dismissing a price of $50 per specimen as outdated.

"Yeah, fifty's on the low end," Gatter says. "Fifty was like 12 years ago."

Yet in a blog titled "The Landis-Foster-Hutton Family Tree," we see a more human side of Gatter in an array of pictures, starting with her as a smiling two-year-old sitting atop a pony "in 1948 or 49" and ending with her working in a clinic or hospital in Iran in 2008..."

Pentagon yields to CAIR demand to ‘review’ counter-terror training

Pentagon yields to CAIR demand to ‘review’ counter-terror training:

"But CAIR, regarded by the FBI as a Hamas front in the U.S., was designated by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-funding plot and by the United Arab Emirates as a terrorist organization.

According to evidence entered in the terror-financing case, CAIR was founded by figures associated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the worldwide movement that has stated its intent to transform the U.S. into an Islamic state. More than a dozen CAIR leaders have been charged or convicted of terrorism-related crimes."

Here's A Yuuuge Wage Gap That Trump Ought To Close | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

Here's A Yuuuge Wage Gap That Trump Ought To Close | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD
"BIG Government: We hear endless lamentations about the alleged gender pay gap. 
But what about the other, very real, pay gap? 
The one where government workers make far more than their private sector counterparts.

To get a clear picture of public-private pay gap, the Congressional Budget Office looked at pay scales from 2011 through 2015,  controlling for things like location, occupation, veteran status, demographics, as well as education.

It found that among those with a high school diploma, federal civilian workers earned 34% more, on average, than similar workers in the private sector. 

But government workers also get benefits that are 93% more generous than the private sector. 

When you combine the two, these federal workers get 52% more than their private sector counterparts..."

Hundreds Vote Illegally in North Carolina after Court Bans Election Integrity Law - Judicial Watch

Hundreds Vote Illegally in North Carolina after Court Bans Election Integrity Law - Judicial Watch:

"Judicial Watch has been heavily involved in the North Carolina case and in 2015 filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in opposition to a lower court ruling preventing the state from implementing its election integrity reform law. Passed by the legislature in 2013 the measure requires voters to present a photo identification, eliminates same-day registration, shortens the early voting period from 17 to 10 days and requires voters to cast ballots in their own precinct. The Obama administration joined a group of leftist organizations to challenge the law in federal court, alleging that it disparately and adversely affects minority voting rights."

Will Fascism Come to America through Its Colleges and Universities? | Roger L. Simon

Will Fascism Come to America through Its Colleges and Universities? | Roger L. Simon:
"If fascism comes to America, it will be through our college and university system.
The biggest cowards in our country today are many, if not most, of our college and university administrators followed closely by a fair amount of their faculty.  
They are allowing their institutions to be taken over by a monolithic world view that is increasingly totalitarian and antithetical to the diversity of opinion on which the search for truth depends.
The inmates are running the asylum -- and not with any of the humor of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
It's only a slight exaggeration to say that Social Justice Warriors are to social justice what the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is to democracy.  
In a few years, freshman handbooks may no longer be necessary.
They can give out copies of Orwell's Animal Farm instead.
...Think I'm exaggerating?  
In September 2015, the indispensable Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) launched a campaign in support of the University of Chicago New Free Speech Statement that advocated for a "completely free and open discussion of ideas" on that campus.
...Even more disturbing, as of December 19, 2016, only 17 (out of over 4000!) of our institutions of higher learning had adopted the U. Chicago statement or something similar..."

Stadium Subsidies Thriving in Sports Season | Economics21

Stadium Subsidies Thriving in Sports Season | Economics21
April is the high-water mark for America’s major sports. Fans will tune in across the country tonight to follow their teams, whether the NFL draft, the NBA or NHL playoffs, or spring baseball. As fun as these sports are, when it comes to funneling public funds to new sports venues, state and local governments should just say no.

Proponents claim the new publicly-funded stadiums will deliver benefits to the surrounding areas. But these claims do not hold up under scrutiny. Stadiums should not receive further public subsidies.
The practice of threatening to relocate if the current locale does not fork over more public money for a new stadium is now common practice, most recently seen with the Raiders leaving Oakland for the Las Vegas desert. 
All told, the Raiders were able to secure nearly $1 billion in subsidies to entice them to move.
The Raiders are just the tip of the iceberg.

Mizzou enrollment plunge continues: Three more dorms shutting down next year - The College Fix:
"The public university that gave us Melissa “Muscle” Click – and announced open season on student journalists that try to cover social justice warriors – continues to suffer fallout from the November 2015 melee.
The University of Missouri is shutting down three dorms next year because of low freshman enrollment, The Maneater reports.

The Washington Post Writes in Praise of Paid Protesters | The Rush Limbaugh Show

The Washington Post Writes in Praise of Paid Protesters | The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"RUSH: Look at this headline in the Washington Post. This is an op-ed: “So What if Protesters Are Paid?” Oh, really? So they’re gonna admit it now. Now, why are they admitting it. This is in relation to all of these protests, all over the country. I don’t care which. Pick one. Pick any of them during the campaign, pick any of the Trump rallies since he was inaugurated. When the first travel ban happened, remember there were tens of thousands of people at airports all over America and in the streets in New York, Washington, and Philadelphia.
We were saying here, “Folks, this is not organic. This didn’t just happen.”"
