Obama goes full jackass in desperate attempt to stay relevant

Obama goes full jackass in desperate attempt to stay relevant:

"Barack Obama just couldn’t help himself. As President Donald Trump took steps to withdraw from the Paris climate accords, undoing one of Obama’s most egregious executive overreaches, the former president released a statement criticizing Trump."

The Campus Mob Came for Me—and You, Professor, Could Be Next - WSJ

The Campus Mob Came for Me—and You, Professor, Could Be Next - WSJ:

"Day of Absence is a tradition at Evergreen. In previous years students and faculty of color organized a day on which they met off campus—a symbolic act based on the Douglas Turner Ward play in which all the black residents of a Southern town fail to show up one morning. This year, however, the formula was reversed. “White students, staff and faculty will be invited to leave the campus for the day’s activities,” the student newspaper reported, adding that the decision was reached after people of color “voiced concern over feeling as if they are unwelcome on campus, following the 2016 election.”"

Obama intel agencies may have spied on Trump campaign

Obama intel agencies may have spied on Trump campaign:
"In 1972, some employees of President Nixon’s re-election committee were caught when they broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to plant a bug.
This led to Nixon’s resignation and probably would have led to his felony prosecution had he not been pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
But if a single bugging of the political opposition is enough to bring down a presidency — and maybe lead to an unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former president — then what are we to make of the recently unveiled Obama administration program of massively spying on political opponents in violation of clearly established law?
Because that’s what was unveiled last week.
...As former anti-terrorism prosecutor and national security expert Andrew McCarthy writes in National Review, this is a very serious abuse. 
And potentially a crime. 
If such material were leaked to the press for political advantage, that's another crime..."

How Much is Enough? | Declination

How Much is Enough? | Declination
"When buying a product or service, the first question out of a man’s mouth is likely to be “how much is it?”
As individuals, that question is axiomatic.
So why is it that when we discuss grand political programs, the cost is so rarely discussed? 
And even when it is, the price is obfuscated behind layers of legalese and technicalities.
...When a charity asks me to donate money, the question is often “how much?”
And not just how much money they want from me, though that is important as well, but how much money is actually spent on the mission of the charity, versus administrative overhead.
Yet with government spending, the question of how much is only ever answered with more.
How much taxpayer funding do you need for welfare?
More. 
How much is needed for paying school teachers?
More. 
How much is needed for social services?
More. 
How much taxpayer money do you need, period?
More..."

Hillary Clinton slams DNC for lack of support during her campaign - Washington Times

Hillary Clinton slams DNC for lack of support during her campaign - Washington Times:

"“I believe that what was happening to me was unprecedented,” she said. “I also think I was the victim of a very broad assumption I was going to win. I never believed that I always believed it was going to be a close election because our elections are always close.”"

How a 5-sentence letter helped fuel the opioid addiction crisis - LA Times

How a 5-sentence letter helped fuel the opioid addiction crisis - LA Times:
"Close to 200,000 Americans have died by overdosing on prescription painkillers, and a new report traces some of the blame to five simple sentences written nearly 40 years ago.
The sentences, containing just 101 words, appeared in a 1980 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
They formed a letter to the editor that described a rudimentary analysis of 11,822 hospital patients who took a narcotic painkiller at least once.
The vast majority of those patients tolerated the drugs without incident, according to Jane Porter and Dr. Hershel Jick of the Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program.
“There were only four cases of reasonably well documented addiction in patients who had no history of addiction,” Porter and Jick reported.
“The addiction was considered major in only one instance.”
In their view, the takeaway was clear: “We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction.”
That conclusion turned out to be wrong..."

In her bubble, Kathy Griffin thought nothing was out of bounds in mocking Trump | New York Post:
"Imagine living in a bubble so impermeable it didn’t occur to you that retailing a photograph of a decapitated president’s head would be a horrendous career move — a bubble in which you don’t know anyone who doesn’t think the world would be a better place once Donald Trump had had his head cut off.
That is the world Kathy Griffin lives in..."

Majority of Swedes Think Media Lies About the Impact of Mass Migration - Breitbart

Majority of Swedes Think Media Lies About the Impact of Mass Migration - Breitbart:

"The majority of people in Sweden believe the media is dishonest about problems in society associated with mass migration, according to research presented by the nation’s Institute of Media Studies.
The institute’s new book Mistrust of the Media, presented at a seminar on Monday, details that whilst confidence in the media is relatively high, Swedes are sceptical of reports on issues connected with immigration."

News - Nipping a Legal Problem in the Bud | Heartland Institute:
"...One of my recent articles predicted that the Fish & Wildlife Service’s endangered species designation for the rusty patched bumblebee would lead to its being used to delay or block construction projects and pesticide use on hundreds of millions of acres of US farmland. 
The abuses have already begun.
Projects in Minnesota and elsewhere have been delayed, while people tried to ascertain that no bees were actually nesting in the areas.
Now a federal district court judge has ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency failed to consult with the FWS before approving 59 products containing neonicotinoid pesticides that are used primarily as seed coatings for corn, canola, cotton, potato, sugar beet and other crops.
...If environmentalists succeed in getting these endangered designations – especially coupled with a narrow consultation process – they could delay, block or bankrupt power lines, bridges, highways, pipelines, housing developments, wastewater treatment plants, plowing operations and other projects all over the USA.
Non-organic farming, neonic-treated seeds, and other pesticide use could be particularly vulnerable.
The actual environmental benefits would be minimal – or profoundly negative, as farmers are forced to use other insecticides or switch to land-intensive organic methods. 
Additional ironies abound..."

Surprise! New Policy in Illinois Forbids ‘Anti-Trans’ Couples From Adopting…

Surprise! New Policy in Illinois Forbids ‘Anti-Trans’ Couples From Adopting…:

Everyone knows the left is pushing the trannydom and they’re pushing it hard (that’s what he/she/ze said). 

Especially for the younglings (read NY Medicaid to Cover ‘Puberty Blockers,’ Transgender Surgery for Kids). 

Better to get them while they’re young and impressionable, before they’re plagued with the curse of common sense. 

Their latest attempt at getting the kiddies in their talons? 

Banning “anti-tranny” social workers and foster parents in Illinois…

The science-deniers are running the LGBTQ show over at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and dissenters will not be tolerated.

The department’s new “enhanced” policies promoting the “well-being of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) children and youth in the Department’s care” ratchet in one direction only: encouraging children towards LGBTQ identities. DCFS has drawn a rainbow-colored line in the sand, announcing it “will not tolerate exposing LGBTQ children and youth to staff/providers who are not supportive of children and youths’ right to self-determination of sexual/gender identity.”

"Iron Mike – Gruntworks Contributing Author
Well my fellow Deplorables it happened again.
Another instance of beautiful multicultural enrichment vibrantly diversified 22 innocent people and seriously enriched dozens more at an Ariana Grande concert in the name of ‘Allah the most merciful’…
When are you globalists going to wake the fuck up and realize that we are in the midst of a clash of civilizations and the other side doesn’t share your values? 
When the fuck are you 9-gendered snowflakes, blue-haired pussy-hat knitters, and cock juggling skinny jean hipsters going to wake up and smell the goddamn fair-trade gluten-free coffee?
We are at war.
It may not always manifest itself violently, but we are at war.
At war, mind you, with a civilization diametrically opposed to yours.
Let me ask you… How many gay clubs need to get shot up?
How many concert-goers need to pull chunks of their friend’s flesh out of their hair?
How many times do bombs need to detonate in a crowded public venue before you admit we have a problem?
How many more than that before you admit we have an Islamic problem? 
I already know the answer. 
You’re never going to. 
In fact, you might as well put on the keffiyeh and burkas now – and the feminists already are…
You liberal scum are the modern day Quislings and Hiwis, betraying your country and children’s futures for a few fleeting moments of self-righteous satisfaction and social media attention. 
You people are why the terrorists are winning.
