Is Development Aid the New Colonialism? - Foundation for Economic Education - Working for a free and prosperous world:
"The big solution to global poverty is smaller than you think, but it requires a new philanthropic strategy to change the way we see ourselves and those we hope to help.
The easier it is to exercise economic rights, the less likely you are to find poverty.
In a forthcoming 2018 annual report from the World Bank, for the first time the relationship between small institutional reforms, like strengthening private property rights, and poverty will be quantified.
The findings show that for every five-unit increase in a country’s score on the “Doing Business” report, poverty drops one percentage point.
In other words, the easier a government makes it for the poor to exercise their economic rights, the less likely you are to find poverty in that country.
...The implication of this finding is that the poor know better than we do how to lift themselves out of poverty.
So why don’t we let them?
The answer is because today’s economic development aid juggernaut perpetuates a paternalism that relies too heavily on the technical expertise of outsiders and ignores, at its peril, the tacit knowledge possessed only by local beneficiaries.
Here’s an example..."

WATCH: CNN Reporter Bizarrely Reminds Viewers That Country Music Fans Are 'Likely Trump Supporters' | Daily Wire"It's not clear what Jeff Zeleny was getting at with his odd observation
CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny appeared to suggest in an interview Monday that many of the victims of Sunday night's Las Vegas mass shooting were Trump supporters.
Zeleny made the bizarre observation after noting that President Trump's morning press conference about the situation in Las Vegas was "pitch perfect."
He went on to say that it was worth it, however, to “keep in mind” that there is significant crossover between Trump supporters and country music fans..."

How the Democrats Set Up Puerto Rico for Disaster | Frontpage Mag
"We’ve seen this show before.
When there’s a national disaster, neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, shelters are filled with crying families, and a Republican is in the White House, the Democrats jump into action.
Not to help, but to make political capital from a disaster that they helped cause.
After Hurricane Katrina, the media shrieked that survivors inside the New Orleans Superdome were murdering each other.
But there actually wasn’t a single murder in the Superdome.
And no, NBC’s Brian Williams, never saw any corpses floating past the Ritz-Carlton.
The media exaggerated and lied.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was all over the news shouting, “Get off your asses” and accusing the Bush administration of “spinning” while “people are dying”.
The dirty Democrat demanded more resources while claiming that everything that the Federal government was doing wasn’t good enough.
He called for Greyhound buses, when there were plenty of school buses in New Orleans that weren’t being used..."

"Europeans captured and sold by Islamic jihadist in Africa.
In Poland alone over 3 million people were taken into slavery by muslims, an enormous number for a small country like Poland.
One can only imagine how many millions far closer to the entry points into European countries got kidnapped and taken into slavery across Europe by muslims.
Add that number to centuries of muslim slave raids.….
Whilst the Arabs have been acknowledged as a prime force in the early usage of slaves from Africa, very little has been written about their usage of White slaves, whether they were part of the Russian slave trade or those kidnapped by Arab pirates.

However, in recent years, the research of some authors has been bringing this issue to light
The origins of African slavery in the New World cannot be understood without some knowledge of the millennium of warfare between Christians and Muslims that took place in the Mediterranean and Atlantic and the piracy and kidnapping that went along with it..."

Here Are The Actual Federal Laws Regulating Machine Guns In The U.S. - The Federalist
"Private ownership of machine guns made after 1986 is banned by federal law
All pre-1986 automatic weapons must be registered with the ATF and require extensive background checks before private citizens may own them.
...The horrific mass shooting of scores of people in Las Vegas on Sunday has once again re-ignited the gun control debate in the U.S.
...Here are the facts on federal regulation of machine guns and fully automatic weapons in the United States.
Federal law highly regulates the manufacture, sale, and ownership of fully automatic weapons in the United States.
For those unfamiliar with firearms nomenclature, a fully automatic weapon is one that is capable of firing multiple rounds with only one pull of the trigger; a semi-automatic weapon will fire only one round per trigger pull while preparing the gun to fire another round when the trigger is pulled again.
The main federal law governing fully automatic weapons is called the National Firearms Act, or NFA.
First enacted in 1934, this federal law regulates fully automatic weapons, suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and destructive devices such as bombs or grenades.
The NFA was subsequently modified in 1968 by the Gun Control Act and in 1986 by the Firearm Owners Protection Act..."

"CBS has fired one of its vice presidents after she said she’s “not even sympathetic” to the victims of Sunday night’s Las Vegas, Nevada, shooting.
Hayley Geftman-Gold, who served as CBS’ vice president and top senior counsel, was fired on Monday after making several disturbing comments on Facebook regarding the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.

LIMBAUGH: Unfair Charges of Systemic Racism | Daily Wire:
"So when certain NFL players kneel during the national anthem, the dominant liberal media culture celebrates them, while anyone who objects to their action is accused of infringing on their liberties, even though no state action is involved and no constitutional question is at issue.
It is leftists who want to chill the speech of those criticizing the protesters for disrespecting the American flag. Instead of invoking bogus free speech issues, shouldn't we talk about the content of the protesters' complaints and the propriety of their manner of expressing them?
It seems the thrust of the protesters' complaint is that American law enforcement and America itself are systemically racist."

On the campus where Thomas Jefferson planted the “academical village” that grew up to be the University of Virginia, the university’s statue of Jefferson was briefly swathed in black plastic.
In nearby Emancipation Park, a 26-foot-high equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee remains swathed in black, mostly to prevent defacement.
In the wake of the Aug. 12 riot between fanatics of the neo-Nazi right and the new Red Guards of the Antifa left, an uneasy atmosphere prevails throughout Charlottesville, as if awaiting, like Pompeii, yet another eruption..."

Byron York: As fight enters second month, FBI still withholding dossier documents
Byron York: As fight enters second month, FBI still withholding dossier documents:"It has now been more than a month since a House Intelligence Committee subpoena set a September 1 deadline for the FBI and the Justice Department to turn over documents related to the Trump dossier.
Not a single document has been produced.
The first deadline was extended once, then again, then again, and is now on some sort of hold.
But no documents have been handed over.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein met with committee chairman Devin Nunes last Thursday -- the committee can perhaps take comfort in the fact that it is being put off by progressively higher-ranking officials -- but it is not clear if the committee is any closer to receiving the documents than when it first issued its subpoena on August 24..."
