Yet more ammo for the ‘fake news’ critics | New York Post
"Here they go again — the news media, that is, racing to run stories meant to discredit President Trump’s 2016 election victory, only to wind up with egg on their faces."

Starving polar bears are the fake news face of climate change | Watts Up With That?
"Summary: Climate activists have made polar bears “the face of climate change.”
This week we see how they have done so: with fake news.
That they do so instead of relying on science tells us much about them — and why they have achieved so few policy changes after 30 years of these tactics.

“This is the face of climate change.”
By Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen.
“‘Soul-crushing’ video of starving polar bear exposes climate crisis, experts say.“
In The Guardian on 8 December 2017.
Excellent refutation of this eco-liberal lie.“Video footage captured in Canada’s Arctic has offered a devastating look at the impact climate change is having on polar bears in the region, showing an emaciated bear clinging to life as it scrounged for food on iceless land..."

Is Jeff Sessions being blackmailed?
Is Jeff Sessions being blackmailed?:
"...Regarding President Kennedy, there was surely a great deal in the dossier, especially as concerned his scandalous relationship with Marilyn Monroe.
Kennedy, who had been rumored to be planning to replace Hoover, quickly changed his mind after one of those meetings.
So much for the accusations.
Let's talk current events.
Jeff Sessions, as senator, had a long history of being a staunch conservative.
As such, he favors small government, strict accountability, and unwavering obedience to the law...
Yet, in recent months, he seems uncharacteristically timid in the face of obvious corrupt practices in both the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, both of which are under his authority.
He has shown no aggression in cooperating with congressional inquiries.
What could possibly explain this?..

Amnesty International caught taking Soros cash to push abortion in Ireland
Amnesty International caught taking Soros cash to push abortion in Ireland:
"Amnesty International, the sanctimonious purported human rights group that champions halting the death penalty, has been caught taking $160,000 from George Soros's Open Society Foundation to promote...abortion, in contravention of Irish law.
File under "unclear on the concept" in championing the value of human life.
It's hard to say which player in this drama here is most loathsome."

Memo to John Lewis: Democrats are the party of white racism
Memo to John Lewis: Democrats are the party of white racism
"Georgia Democrat Rep. John Lewis refused to attend the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum because President Trump was there, yet he would have been the first to condemn Trump had Trump not gone.
The irony is that much of the brutality, oppression, and denial of civil rights the museum records was committed by the party of white racism – the Democratic Party.

The irony is that much of the brutality, oppression, and denial of civil rights the museum records was committed by the party of white racism – the Democratic Party.
Reps. John Lewis and Bennie G. Thompson issued a joint statement full of righteous indignation but little truth in explaining their absence from the ceremony:
"President Trump's attendance and his hurtful policies are an insult to the people portrayed in this civil rights museum. The struggles represented in this museum exemplify the truth of what really happened in Mississippi."
What really happened in Mississippi and throughout the South is that Democrats, who never got over losing the Civil War, sought to move blacks to a new plantation of oppression and suppression.
As one wag put it, the reason Democrats hate Republicans so much is that the Republicans took away their slaves..."

"Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats swing together.
Eighteen years ago, Senate Dems stood lockstep in support of keeping Bill Clinton in office. Yesterday they stood lockstep in support of forcing Al Franken from office - even though Franken's sins (unwanted tongues and touching) are of a considerably lower order than Clinton's (assault and rape).
A shift is underway in the Democrat Party, even if - as Caitlin Flanagan notes in The Atlantic - it's not quite there yet:

Let's not fool ourselves. "I believe Juanita" doesn't just mean that you're generally in favor of believing women when they report sex crimes. It means you believe that for eight years our country was in the hands of a violent rapist.
It was - which was why some of us said we believed Juanita at the time.
...So they've belatedly realized that their over-investment in the violent rapist and his enabler proved near-fatal last year.
To win in 2020, the party has to get back some of those white females.
Hence the decision to go full-scale war-on-women.

Must read before the "outrage" burns down our country-----Nolte - Pragmatism v. Cake Baking: Christians Can Vote for Roy Moore in Good Conscience - Breitbart
Nolte - Pragmatism v. Cake Baking: Christians Can Vote for Roy Moore in Good Conscience - Breitbart:
"Because I believe that even in the court of public opinion a fellow American deserves due process, unlike too many out there, until all the facts were in, I kept my mouth shut about the allegations against Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Nelson is a straight up forger and liar. She altered a document (the infamous yearbook) but only told us so after she got caught, after both she and her attorney Gloria Allred (see the videos here) told us Roy Moore had written what Nelson now admits she wrote (Moore denies writing any of it). That is the textbook definition of forgery.
"Because I believe that even in the court of public opinion a fellow American deserves due process, unlike too many out there, until all the facts were in, I kept my mouth shut about the allegations against Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Rather than immediately cave to the corrupt media and #NeverTrump’s tribal pressure to do the right thing and denounce the Alabama Republican… I waited — I waited because the media lies.
I waited because #NeverTrump lies.
And now that all the evidence is in, we know that the allegations against Moore are either completely trumped up, an act of outright fraud, or full of massive holes.
PART I: THE ALLEGATIONS

That is the textbook definition of forgery.
Anyone who calls what Nelson did anything other than a forgery is spreading fake news. Nelson also claims she had no contact with Moore after the alleged incident in the late 70s. But Moore was the judge who ruled against her in a 1999 divorce. Moreover, the divorce papers signed by Moore have that very same mysterious “D.A.” that appears after the yearbook signature — which puts the signature itself well into the realm of reasonable doubt.
Anyone who gives Nelson’s assault allegations any credence is engaging in partisan tribalism..."

Nikki Haley Stands Tall At UN: Slams UN For Its Hatred Of Israel | Daily Wire
Nikki Haley Stands Tall At UN: Slams UN For Its Hatred Of Israel | Daily Wire:
"The declaration from Trump affirms that “all parties are honest with each other” as “for nearly 70 years, Jerusalem has been the capital of the State of Israel” regardless of U.S. recognition, Haley said. She said the recognition was based on “common sense.”
Haley pointed out that people using Washington’s actions as an excuse for violence were “only showing” they had no desire for peace. She cited past Israeli-Palestinian agreements that had been signed on the White House lawn, and said that if a new agreement arose, there would be “a good likelihood” it will be signed at the White House “because the United States has credibility of both sides.”"

“Friday was one of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time.
The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party throughout the day.
By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened.”

Did A Corrupt FBI Give Hillary Clinton A Free Pass? Sure Looks Like It | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Among the many troubling revelations to have emerged regarding the FBI these days, one of the worst is finding out that an avowed Trump-hater softened language in a memo to exonerate Hillary Clinton.
Let's rewind the tape a bit. Until August 31, 2016, with the presidential election in full swing, former FBI director James Comey gave the impression that he hadn't arrived at his decision to let Clinton off the hook until after he had all the facts."

Obstruction of Congress - WSJ:
"The media echo chamber spent the week speculating about whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller can or will nab President Trump on obstruction-of-justice charges.
All the while it continues to ignore Washington’s most obvious obstruction—the coordinated effort to thwart congressional probes of the role law enforcement played in the 2016 election.
The news that senior FBI agent Peter Strzok exchanged anti-Trump, pro-Hillary text messages with another FBI official matters—though we’ve yet to see the content.
The bigger scandal is that the Justice Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Mr. Mueller have known about those texts for months and deliberately kept their existence from Congress.
The House Intelligence Committee sent document subpoenas and demanded an interview with Mr. Strzok.
The Justice Department dodged, and then leaked..."

How Private Sidney Godley Earned the 1st Victoria Cross of World War 1
How Private Sidney Godley Earned the 1st Victoria Cross of World War 1
"...The call was given to retreat, but Godley refused, telling the other men to go, he would give them cover.
As his comrades pulled out, the young Private maintained his fire, forcing the Germans to keep their heads down, preventing them from firing on the retreat.
Godley continued for two hours, keeping up a constant fire into the tree line to his front.
Shells were landing all around him, either from German rifles or artillery.
A piece of shrapnel embedded itself in his back when an artillery shell landed near by.
A rifle bullet also hit him in the head, and amazingly he survived.
With blood now streaming from two potentially mortal wounds, Godley finally ran out of machine gun ammunition.

He was not done yet and picking up his rifle, he opened fire, shooting rapidly at any German who showed himself.
However, one man can not hold off an entire unit, and the Germans finally reached the bridge.
As enemy boots rattled across the railroad, Godley had one last spurt of courage.
He took the breechblock out of both machine guns, and dumped them into the river.
This denied these valuable tools falling into enemy hands.
As the German troops poured across the bridge, the 25-year-old soldier surrendered, and was taken back to Germany to have his wounds treated..."

How exactly did the corpse of Mikhail Lesin, Moscow’s most influential media magnate and the founder of the Kremlin-backed global satellite TV network Russia Today, or RT, wind up in a Washington hotel room just a mile from the White House almost exactly a year before voting commenced in the 2016 U.S. presidential election?"

Ignorance about Eurasia's two Great Games imperils the West | Asia Times
Ignorance about Eurasia's two Great Games imperils the West | Asia Times
"...While much of the English-language mainstream media is obsessed with alleged Russian interference in Western democracy and with the ancient sexual indiscretions of sad old entertainment celebrities and politicians, the unfolding of these two Great Games — and their inevitable confluence — is largely ignored or, if noticed at all, misunderstood.
...A much newer story is the rise of China
The great schism between Shia and Sunni Islam began centuries ago and has long been the root of violence in the Middle East, and the perpetuation of the backwardness of much of the region.
From time to time secularism and the need to get rich have intervened and maintained the peace between Sunni and Shiite communities in places like Iraq and Syria, until malevolent external forces got them at each other’s throats again.
It’s an old story.
A much newer story is the rise of China...
It’s doubtful that Deng foresaw how the West’s disastrous descent into neoliberal economic fundamentalism would play into China’s hands, but it did, and the result is there for all but the most obtuse to see:
The center of global power is now Beijing, not New York, Washington, London or Berlin...
And so it is that Russia’s vast natural resources and China’s treasury...are remaking much of Eurasia, other than — so far — the Middle East.
There, the other Great Game is in play...
Some say the blossoming of ignorance in the West, the denigration of science, the impoverishment of education and literacy, the deterioration of thought processes to the point that a leap from 140 to 280 characters is seen as progress, and the self-destructive militarism of former great powers are signs of the imminent collapse of empire.
The same thing happened to the ancient Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, and the czars, they argue. Others say we cannot know for sure because history is written by the winners.
But even that adage is now in doubt."
