"OCTOBER 22, 2017-WAPO: Trump Has Already Largely Won His War Against The Media. 
“Consider the language used in this question. 
Marist didn’t ask people whom they trusted more between the media at large and Trump; 
Image result for liberal mediait was a choice between the media outlet you like the best and the president. 
Presumably, the media outlet you like the best is the one you consider most reliable and informative, but even pitting a Trump supporter’s top pick of all of the media outlets against the president, the president wins. . . . 
This poll was released on the heels of another survey that adds still more context to the question of media trust. 
A Politico-Morning Consult survey conducted online found that nearly half of Americans, a plurality, thinks that the media makes up stories about the president out of whole cloth.”
Well, if you guys weren’t so obviously, rabidly eager to bring Trump down, maybe people would trust you more.---Posted by Glenn Reynolds at 8:58 am"

Melania Trump cuts bloated first lady payroll from Michelle Obama days | Fox News:

"Melania Trump is embracing a more active and public schedule as first lady – but she still runs one of the leanest East Wing operations in recent history.

Image result for free clip art PayrollAccording to a Fox News analysis of White House personnel reports, Melania Trump has significantly reduced the number of aides on the first lady's office payroll in comparison to her predecessor, Michelle Obama.

During then-President Barack Obama’s first year in office, 16 people were listed working for Michelle Obama, earning a combined $1.24 million a year.

This year, just four people were listed working for Melania Trump as of June. Their salaries totaled $486,700."

Paglia: The Dumbing Down of America Began in Public Schools | Intellectual Takeout
"In the last several years, Americans have been sensing that something is seriously wrong with the current crop of young people. 
True, they are likely to have the most education credentials any generation has ever received. 
They also are technically-savvy, and as such, have a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips.
But in spite of these factors, today’s students seem to exhibit a character that is high in sensitivity and low in knowledge. 
What gives? 
Why are our students turning out like this?
Camille Paglia recently revealed the answer to that question. 
Paglia, a long-time Democrat, feminist, and college professor, believes the problem started in the earliest stages of education in the nation’s public schools:
“It’s really started at the level of public school education. I’ve been teaching now for 46 years as a classroom teacher, and I have felt the slow devolution of the quality of public school education in the classroom...”

Millions live and die in pain due to morphine stigma - SciDev.Net

Millions live and die in pain due to morphine stigma - SciDev.Net
[MANILA] A new, comprehensive study brings focus to the plight of millions of patients, especially in the developing world, who are condemned to live and die in pain for lack of access to palliative care.
 In a comprehensive report on palliative care and pain relief published 13 October in The Lancet, the study says that each year, some 26 million people, including over 2.5 million children, suffer pain which could have been addressed with off-patent, low-cost morphine. 
Image result for palliative careThe report says that of the 298.50 tonnes of oral morphine distributed worldwide, only 10.8 tonnes (3.6 per cent) reach the low- and middle-income countries, creating a “pain gap”.  
Of the 172 countries studied, 25 had almost no morphine and about 100 countries are only able to meet the needs for standard pain relief of a quarter of their population.
Lukas Rudbruch, chair of the Palliative Medicine at the University of Bonn and senior co-author of the report, explains to SciDev.Net that there are serious misunderstandings about the nature of palliative care, including stigma attached to pain-relieving drugs. 
This, he says, is especially so for morphine (derived from opium) which makes regulators and health professionals uneasy. 
Former Philippine health secretary Manuel Dayrit explains that in countries like the Philippines, morphine is classified as a ‘dangerous drug’, with supply and transport highly regulated. 
Only physicians with special permits can prescribe them.
 “The question is how to strike a balance between dangerous drugs and access for palliative care purposes,” Dayrit says..."

"More than 150 Afghan troops brought to the U.S. for military training have gone AWOL since 2005, with 13 of them still unaccounted for and perhaps living as here illegal immigrants now, an inspector general said in a new report Friday.
Part of the problem is that the U.S. never puts the trainees through an in-person interview and exempts them from registering as aliens when they arrive — both steps that other visitors would normally have to go through."

"Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is calling upon Attorney General Jeff Sessions to assist him in ridding the federal government of the corruption the Obama Administration perpetuated.
Image result for Russian state-owned corporation U.S. uranium millions to the Clinton Foundation.After recent news stories surfaced highlighting an ethically questionable business deal which gave the Russian nuclear industry significant control over the U.S. uranium supply, Grassley wants Sessions to allow an FBI informant alleging that a Justice Department prosecution of a Russian company engaged in bribery was slowed down to grease the wheels of the Uranium One deal.
In a breaking news story this week published in The Hill this week, John Solomon and Alison Spann explain, “Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefiting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.”
The deal allowed a Russian state-owned corporation to acquire 20 percent of the U.S. uranium supply — and funneled millions to the Clinton Foundation.

After Stalling for Two Years, CBP Returns Truck It Stole at the Border - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Image result for civil forfeiture casesAfter Stalling for Two Years, CBP Returns Truck It Stole at the Border - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "Yesterday Gerardo Serrano was reunited with his 2014 Ford F-250 pickup truck, which was arrested by Customs and Border Protection officers two years ago in connection with international arms smuggling.
The smuggling involved five handgun rounds that Serrano forgot to remove from the truck's center console before embarking on a trip to visit his cousin in Mexico.
The truck was never formally charged with a crime, and neither was Serrano, as is typical in civil forfeiture cases. 
After the Institute for Justice filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Serrano and other similarly situated vehicle owners last month, I.J. says in a press release, CBP lawyers suddenly told him "he could pick up his truck whenever he wanted."
...Serrano is happy about the semi-victory but wants to see more evidence that CBP has seen the error of its car-stealing ways.
"I'm thrilled to have my truck back," Serrano says. "But I'd like somebody to apologize for taking it in the first place.""

Image result for flickr commons images surgical room"Daily Wire Editor-In-Chief Ben Shapiro has repeatedly stated that healthcare has three primary characteristics: affordability, universality, and quality. It’s been shown time and again, in both theory and real life application, that all three characteristics cannot be found in a healthcare system at the same time. Two of these qualities can mutually exist in a given system, but the third, necessarily, falls by the wayside. The latest empirical evidence supporting the theory comes from the National Health Service (NHS) in England, which announced that smokers and the obese will be denied most surgeries until the patient’s lifestyle meets NHS standards."

"Dear Sir,
recent media reports of the deaths of almost all of this year’s Adelie penguin chicks in East
Antarctica should alarm those who express concern about global warming.
The problem – too much sea ice, meaning that there was too long a trek to feed the chicks.
Satellite pictures confirm this.
Meantime ice in the Arctic has also recently increased while anthropogenic emissions have
continued to rise.

Russia tables turn, roping Clinton, Obama, Holder, not Trump - Washington Times
"The tables have turned and what was once the media’s favorite message — President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election — has now grown silent.
Apparently, it’s Bill and Hillary Clinton who’ve been doing the behind-scenes and suspicious dealings with Russia all along.
Oh, and perhaps others in the Barack Obama administration, too.
Image result for hillary russia...Better to dig deeper into this, as reported by The Hill: “Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States.”
Intercepted emails shows that Russia had actually gained an inroad in America and compromised a U.S. uranium trucking firm with bribes.
But this is the bigger news: The feds also found an eyewitness who provided documented evidence to show that these Russia nuke officials had sent millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation — at a time when Hillary was serving as secretary of state and on a government body that extended favor to Russia.
...The feds suspected as early as 2009 that Russia was engaged in this dirty dealing. 
And the United States, under Barack Obama’s administration, did nothing.
“Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefiting [Vladimir] Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions,” The Hill wrote..."

Image result for prostitution lawsBrought by the Erotic Service Providers Legal, Education, and Research Project (ESPLERP), the constitutional challenge claims that California's prostitution laws violate residents' right to privacy, free speech, and free association.
"Our hope is to see this bad law struck down," said ESPLERP President Maxine Doogan, "so that consenting adults who choose to be involved in prostitution are simply treated as private citizens again, and are afforded all the privacy and constitutional rights thereof."
The Ninth Circuit judges seemed at least somewhat sympathetic to that view.
"Why should it be illegal to sell something that you can give away for free?" Judge Consuelo Callahan asked the state's attorney, Sharon O'Grady.
She replied that it should be illegal because the legislature declared it so..."
