Lady Justice

By Tammy Derouin

When we think about justice being served, one of the first things that come to mind is that a wrong will be corrected and the offender(s), having been held accountable, will face some sort of punishment.

Justice is a process. It begins with a violation or an accusation and is followed by legal proceedings. Information is gathered to see if there is enough evidence to move forward with a trial. If the process continues, the evidence is supported and challenged by both sides. Individual testimony, to support or discredit claims, are presented which will hopefully render a clearer picture of the events which took place, or didn't take place.

Justice, in the United States, comes with the benefit of being innocent until proven guilty and that everyone is held to the same standards under the law, regardless of stature. Lady Justice is blindfolded for a reason. Do we still respect and demand fairness?

Justice, as a process, has an end; acquittal or punishment. Everyone will have an opinion as to whether justice was served and if the punishment fit the crime. Understandably, many factors come into play from personal feelings, the facts, as well as the acceptance of the facts. Unfortunately, facts have become less important on the political stage. Many attempts have been made to bury them while creating a different reality to the liking of a political party. This has dangerous consequences for everyone.......

What We’ve Learned About the Funding of the Dossier | The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"RUSH: A few more tidbits here on the Trump dossier. The Democrats are beginning to indicate now that… They’re beginning to acknowledge that it was paid for by Hillary and the DNC and they had a cutout law firm to make the transaction, Perkins Coie. Pencil Neck, Adam Schiff — the ranking Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee — was on one of the Sunday shows yesterday. He said, “Well, really it doesn’t matter who paid for it. When you get right down to it, who paid for it doesn’t matter. What matters is how much of it is true.”
It doesn’t matter who paid for it, but what matters is how much of it is true? Do you think who paid for it might be a factor in how much of it is true, Pencil Neck? For example, if Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee paid for this and a Democrat law firm — who has as a member a guy by the name of Bob Bauer, who has been in bed with the Clinton administration, the Obama administration.

Betsy DeVos dressed as Ms. Frizzle for Halloween and people aren't happy | MLive.com
"Betsy DeVos hopped on the Magic School Bus for Halloween, but not everyone is going along for the ride.
That's right, the Secretary of Education from Michigan marked the occasion by dressing up as Ms. Frizzle, the eccentric, orange-haired teacher from the 90s animated series "The Magic School Bus."
...But others aren't as excited, even going as far to say she's "unworthy" since Frizzle is a public school teacher and bus driver and DeVos is an advocate for private schools and alternative charter academies..."

James Mattis, Rex Tillerson to Congress: Don't restrict Trump military powers - Washington Times

James Mattis, Rex Tillerson to Congress: Don't restrict Trump military powers - Washington Times:

"The White House is pushing back against congressional efforts to further define, and in some cases curtail, how Washington carries out combat operations against terror groups such as Islamic State, the Taliban and al Qaeda.
Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took a hard line Monday, urged Congress not to implement further restrictions on how the White House deploys forces and executes operations in support of the overall U.S. counterterrorism mission."

As Under Armour Collapses, CEO Builds Elitist Hotel & Whiskey Distillery | Zero Hedge

As Under Armour Collapses, CEO Builds Elitist Hotel & Whiskey Distillery | Zero Hedge
"Earlier, we reported on Under Armour’s epic stock collapse down over -75% from its September 2015 highs. 

...Simultaneously, Plank built an elitist only hotel in Baltimore’s Fells Point district called Sagamore Pendry.

The two year, $60 million dollar project was also constructed around the time of the whiskey distillery.

According to Kayak.com, the 128-room property sits on the historic recreation pier in Fells Point with rooms starting at +$335.
Interesting to note, a majority of Americans don’t even have $500.00 in savings, so a one night stay at Plank’s hotel does not welcome middle America...

JPM’s Wealth Inequality desk outlines that nearly 1/3 of households of color have a net worth of zero in Baltimore. Considering total population is around 620k, that means over 100k African Americans in the city are flat broke. This gives you a perspective of Baltimore’s economic disparities as Plank builds fancy things.

...And one more thing, Plank’s $5.5 billion dollar ‘city with-in a city’ for elites was in danger of failing this year. Goldman Sachs came in with a hockey stick save for $233 million back in September to rescue the project when the stock was 20% higher. With the latest tumble in the stock along with re-imaging plans for the company through layoffs and cost cuts. The idea of such a project is farfetched...

Bottomline:

Kevin Plank’s actions over the past few years will certainly go down in the record books of what not to do in a stock market bubble.
It’s only a matter of time when the overwhelmingly poor citizens of Baltimore wake up to the wide wealth inequalities produced by easy money policies of the Federal Reserve..."

The State of Free Speech and Tolerance in America | Cato Institute
Overview

"Americans Say Political Correctness Has Silenced Discussions Society Needs to Have; Most Have Views They’re Afraid to Share

Nearly three-fourths (71%) of Americans believe that political correctness has done more to silence important discussions our society needs to have. A little more than a quarter (28%) instead believe that political correctness has done more to help people avoid offending others...

Americans Oppose Hate Speech Bans but Say Hate Speech Is Morally Unacceptable

Most Americans (59%) think people should be allowed to express unpopular opinions in public, even those deeply offensive to other people. Forty percent (40%) think government should prevent hate speech in public. Nonetheless, an overwhelming majority (79%) agree that it is “morally unacceptable” to engage in hate speech against racial or religious groups. Thus, the public appears to distinguish between allowing offensive speech and endorsing it.

Despite this, the survey also found Americans willing to censor, regulate, or punish a wide variety of speech and expression they personally find offensive:

• 51% of strong liberals say it’s “morally acceptable” to punch Nazis.
• 53% of Republicans favor stripping U.S. citizenship from people who burn the American flag.
• 51% of Democrats support a law that requires Americans use transgender people’s preferred gender pronouns.
• 47% of Republicans favor bans on building new mosques.
• 58% of Democrats say employers should punish employees for offensive Facebook posts.
• 65% of Republicans say NFL players should be fired if they refuse to stand for the national anthem."

CNN's Undisclosed Ties To Fusion GPS | The Daily Caller

CNN's Undisclosed Ties To Fusion GPS | The Daily Caller:

"CNN’s reporting on the dossier, led by justice correspondent Evan Perez, has been favorable to the firm, Fusion GPS, and hyped the dossier’s credibility. Left out of Perez’s reporting, which has relied largely on unnamed sources, is his personal closeness to Fusion GPS’ operatives. Fusion has repeatedly been described in Senate testimonies as a smear-for-hire operation that manufactures misleading or false media narratives for its clients."

The 10 Worst States For Sexually-Transmitted Diseases, and What's Really Behind the STD Epidemic

The 10 Worst States For Sexually-Transmitted Diseases, and What's Really Behind the STD Epidemic
"Sexually transmitted diseases are getting worse in the United States, increasing for the third year, with 2016 reaching an all-time high.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and data analysis by Backgroundchecks.org, here are the ten most sexually diseased states in America:

1. Alaska
2. Mississippi
3. Louisiana
4. Georgia
5. New Mexico
6. North Carolina
7. South Carolina
8. Arkansas
9. Delaware
10. Oklahoma

...The rise in primary and secondary syphilis over the last 17 years is primarily attributable to increases among men, specifically homosexuals.

“In 2016, men accounted for almost 90% of all cases of P&S syphilis,” the report says. “Of those male cases for whom sex of sex partner was known, 80.6% were men who have sex with men. ... half of men who have sex with men diagnosed with syphilis were also living with HIV.”

The same is true with gonorrhea:

“While gonorrhea increased among men and women in 2016, the steepest increases were seen among men (22 percent). Research suggests that a large share of new gonorrhea cases are occurring among MSM [men who have sex with men]. These trends are particularly alarming in light of the growing threat of drug resistance to the last remaining recommended gonorrhea treatment...”

Two 14-year-old girls arrested in beating, carjacking of pizza driver | MLive.com

Two 14-year-old girls arrested in beating, carjacking of pizza driver | MLive.com:
"YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP, MI - The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office responded to two reports of robbery of pizza delivery drivers over two days last week in Ypsilanti Township, with two 14-year-olds suspected in one of the incidents.
A 45-year-old delivery driver for a Happy's Pizza on Davis Street in Ypsilanti Township told sheriff's deputies on Oct. 27 he had been assaulted by two suspects armed with black metal objects.
He told police the two suspects struck him several times in the face and head area before fleeing with cash and his vehicle, according to a report from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies later located the vehicle and took two 14-year-old female Ypsilanti Township residents into custody.
The delivery driver was transported to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries, the sheriff's office said.
The pair were taken to the Washtenaw County Juvenile Detention Center; It was unclear if they remained in custody.
According to another report from the sheriff's office, deputies responded to a second robbery on Oct. 28 in the 2300 block of East Ellsworth Road, where a 22-year-old Benito's Pizza delivery driver, said he was robbed of $50 by an armed suspect.
The delivery driver told deputies the suspect implied he had a weapon and at first demanded the vehicle, and then fled on foot north toward Hewitt Road."

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE:

The protesters were particularly antagonized by Foster’s contention that police violence against African-Americans has been statistically exaggerated. When he started explaining the methodological research behind his claim, the audience exploded. “Facts?! Facts?! Don’t tell me about facts!” one person screamed. Foster tried to finish as five or six people shouted at him. “Do facts matter?” Foster asked, and repeated it several times in mounting frustration. “Do facts matter? Do facts—”

The resounding, devastating answer was no, facts do not matter. One of the things that struck me over and over was the protesters’ complete intolerance of complexity. Despite intersectionality’s roots in academic theory, the politics of the intersectional Left are deeply anti-intellectual. It’s not just that many intersectional activists seem to have no capacity for nuance; they fear and hate it, because they hate anything with the potential to complicate their narrative. Things are right or wrong; you’re with us or against us. Human beings, rather than complex agents with independent motivations and intellects, are nothing more than the sum total of their identities. Get on the bus or get under it.

“Despite.”

Did Clinton Use Fusion GPS to Set Up Trump Meeting with Veselnitskaya?

Did Clinton Use Fusion GPS to Set Up Trump Meeting with Veselnitskaya?:

"This week's bombshell — that the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign financed former British spy Christopher Steele's salacious dossier allegedly connecting Donald Trump and Russia — may suggest something even more devious. The dossier was compiled by the notorious firm Fusion GPS, which also worked for Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, the very woman who met with Donald Trump Jr. in a meeting deemed pivotal to the case for Trump-Russia "collusion."

The Fusion GPS connection raises a supremely interesting question: Did the Clinton campaign actually orchestrate the meeting between Trump campaign officials and Veselnitskaya? Is the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative the result of a Clinton set-up?"
