Israeli Politicians Demand Obama Forfeit Nobe | The Daily Caller:

Image result for Nobel Peace Award"The report alleges that the Obama administration let terrorists walk free and halted law enforcement efforts against Hezbollah to help cement the former president’s foreign policy achievement.

According to the report, the Obama administration’s backing off on the terrorist organization directly contributed to its growth and enrichment through money laundering and drug trade. It also made Hezbollah much more powerful and dangerous in the region."

The Washington Post Says That Fedcoin Will Be ‘Bigger’ Than Bitcoin

The Washington Post Says That Fedcoin Will Be ‘Bigger’ Than Bitcoin
"Fedcoin doesn’t even exist yet, and yet the Washington Post is already hyping it as the primary cryptocurrency that we will be using in the future.  
Do they know something that they rest of us do not?  
Just a few days ago I warned that global central banks could eventually try to take control of the cryptocurrency phenomenon, and so I was deeply alarmed to see the Post publish this sort of an article.  
We want cryptocurrencies to stay completely independent, and we definitely do not want the Federal Reserve and other global central banks to start creating their own versions.  
Because of course once they create their own versions they will want to start restricting the use of any competitors.
See the source imageThe one thing that could derail the cryptocurrency revolution faster than anything else would be interference by national governments or global central banks.  
Unfortunately, now that Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies are getting so much attention, it is inevitable that the powers that be will make a move.
On Monday, the Washington Post published an opinion piece by Professor Campbell R. Harvey of Duke University that was entitled “Bitcoin is big. But fedcoin is bigger.”  
These days, there is an agenda behind virtually everything that the Washington Post publishes, and so it is not just a coincidence that they have published an article with “fedcoin” in the title.  
Here is how that article begins
Over the past few weeks, investors have been flocking to bitcoin, the digital currency whose value has soared by about 2,000 percent in the past year alone. And while many economists are cautioning against excitement about bitcoin — which is caught up in what may be one of the biggest speculative bubbles in history — it’s important to note just how revolutionary the technology may be.
Indeed, the technology underlying bitcoin could fundamentally change the way we think of money.
Professor Harvey goes on to explain that it is “only a matter of time before paper money is phased out”, and that some version of “fedcoin” is inevitable..."

BOMBSHELL REPORT: Obama Colluded With Putin To Release Lebanese Terrorist Responsible For Targeting Americans | Daily Wire:

Image result for flickr commons image Putin"We’re all supposed to believe that President Trump, as a candidate, colluded with the Russian government to “steal” the 2016 election. There’s no serious evidence to that effect, despite a massive FBI investigation, a Congressional investigation, and a special counsel investigation initiated by the Department of Justice.

But there is clear evidence that the Obama administration colluded with the Russian government to free an Islamic terrorist responsible for the deaths of Americans — "

This is BIG!---CalPERS Goes All-In On Pension Accounting Scam; Boosts Stock Allocation To 50% | Zero Hedge

CalPERS Goes All-In On Pension Accounting Scam; Boosts Stock Allocation To 50% | Zero Hedge
"Starting July 1, 2018 stock markets around the world are going to get yet another artificial boost courtesy of a decision by the $350 billion California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) to allocate another $15 billion in capital to already bubbly equities.  
Of course, if this decision doesn't make sense to you that's because it's not really meant to make sense. 
See the source imageAs Pensions & Investments notes, CalPERS' decision to hike their equity allocation had absolutely nothing to do with their opinion of relative value between assets classes and nothing to do with traditional valuation metrics that a rational investor might like to see before buying a stake in a business but rather had everything to do with gaming pension accounting rules to make their insolvent fund look a bit better.  
You see, making the rational decision to lower their exposure to the massive equity bubble could have resulted in CalPERS having to also lower their discount rate for future liabilities...a move which would require more contributions from cities, towns, school districts, etc. and could bring the whole ponzi crashing down. 
The new allocation, which goes into effect July 1, 2018, supports CalPERS' 7% annualized assumed rate of return. The investment committee was considering four options, including one that lowered the rate of return to 6.5% by slashing equity exposure and another that increased it to 7.25% by increasing the exposure to almost 60% of the portfolio.

The lower the rate of rate means more contributions from cities, towns and school districts to CalPERS. Those governmental units are already facing large contribution increases — and have complained loudly at CalPERS meetings — because a decision by the $345.1 billion pension fund's board in December 2016 to lower the rate of return over three years to 7% from 7.5% by July, 1, 2019.
Meanwhile, there was only one dissenting vote on the decision to hike the fund's equity exposure.  
Ironically, the dissent did not come from a rational investor looking to preserve the fund's assets, but rather from a board member named J.J. Jelincic who wanted to go all-in on the pension accounting scam and hike the fund's equity allocations to 60% so that discount rates could be raised even higher than the current 7%..."

FBI allegedly offered spy $50K to verity Trump dossier | Daily Mail Online
"FBI 'offered British spy $50,000 to corroborate his claims in the dirty dossier on Trump - which he never did'
  • Claims that FBI offered ex-MI6 spy cash for Trump dirt have re-emerged
  • Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein refused to answer when asked in inquiry last week
  • Republicans accuse disgraced agent Peter Strzok of using dossier for wiretap
  • Strzok texts mention an 'insurance policy' in the event of Trump's election 
  • Questions over FBI integrity are mounting as Mueller election probe nears end 
See the source image...Napolitano appears to be basing his claim on an April report from the New York Times, which cited two sources claiming that an FBI agent met Steele in Rome in October of 2016, just weeks before the presidential election.
The agent offered Steele $50,000 if he could get 'solid corroboration of his reports', which the FBI ultimately never paid out, the report said.
Last week, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein refused to tell the House Judiciary Committee whether the FBI had paid or offered to pay for the dossier..."

The end of civilization-----How to Use Gender-Neutral Pronouns

How to Use Gender-Neutral Pronouns:
"If you feel awkward using gender-neutral pronouns—or avoid them because you don’t know how to use them correctly—it’s time to get up to speed. 
Language tends to shift towards inclusivity, and gender-neutral pronouns are becoming more widely used, so get in the habit now before you become one of those people who’s communicating with outdated language.
...(Before you ask: yes, it is appropriate to use “they” as a singular pronoun in both academic and journalistic work. It’s even in the AP Stylebook.)
Here are some other gender-neutral pronouns that people might request you use:

See the source imageEy/em/eir/eirs
Ne/nem/nir/nirs
Xe/xem/xyr/xyrs
Ze/hir/hir/hirs
Ze/zir/zir/zirs

These aren’t the only gender-neutral pronouns out there—and since language is continuously growing and changing, don’t be surprised if we develop new gender-neutral pronouns in the next few years.
Also: if you’re looking for a gender-neutral word to use in place of Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms., try Mx, pronounced “mix” or “mux.”..."

Climate change removed from Trump national threat list - Washington Times:

Image result for flickr commons image Earth"Officials briefing reporters Sunday confirmed that Mr. Trump’s national security playbook eliminates climate change as a priority in defense planning.

“Climate change is not identified as a national security threat,” an official said, adding that the position is consistent with Mr. Trump’s decision earlier this year to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord that was signed by President Obama. The official said the importance of “climate and environmental stewardship are discussed” in the plan."


News - Governor Pinocchio’s Nose Grows Over California Wildfire Claims | Heartland Institute

News - Governor Pinocchio’s Nose Grows Over California Wildfire Claims | Heartland Institute
"Few governors have done more than California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) to reduce their state’s economic performance, energy security, and economic mobility for the poor in the vain quest to counteract climate change. 
The climate and environmental efforts undertaken by Brown and the state’s Democrat-controlled legislature have raised energy prices (making electricity and fuel prices in California among the highest in the nation), made housing even more unaffordable than it already was, and limited job creation.
Along the way, Brown has told numerous fibs about the job creation potential of green energy, the harm fossil fuels are doing to the environment – both in absolute terms and when compared to green energy sources – and humanity’s impact on, and ability to control, the climate.
Recently, Brown told another whopper. 
In a 60 Minutes interview on December 10 and an earlier interview with The Orange County Register, Brown claimed anthropogenic climate change was causing California’s wildfires to become more frequent and severe: in his words, “unprecedented” and “the new normal.”
See the source imageNormal, yes; new, not at all.
A survey of literature examining extreme drought and wildfires in North America and globally, published as part of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change’s peer- reviewed book, Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science, finds no evidence Earth has experienced worsened drought conditions or wildfires in greater number or size, either in North America or worldwide, during the past century and a half, when humans have purportedly been contributing to dangerous climate change.
Locally, California has unique conditions that make it prone to wildfires. 
California is arid, with much of it being high-mountain and lowland-scrub desert. 
Historically it has had limited freshwater supplies, which is one reason it was one of the least populated (and lowest population density) regions of the country before European colonizers spread across the continent. 
Throughout its history, California has been prone to wildfires driven by the Santa Ana winds. Research shows us droughts in the region have on occasion lasted a hundred years or more. 
And there is historical evidence massive wildfires periodically swept through the region..."

Why I Quit Teaching

Why I Quit Teaching
"Some years back, I decided I had to quit the teaching profession to which I had dedicated half my life.  
The modern academy, I felt, was so far gone that restoration was no longer possible.  
Image result for Why I Quit TeachingIndeed, I now believe that complete collapse is the only hope for the future, but as Woody Allen said about death, I'd rather not be there when it happens.
Three reasons determined my course of action.  
For one thing, administration had come to deal less with academic issues and more with rules of conduct and punitive codes of behavior, as if it were a policing body rather than an arm of the teaching profession.  
Woe betide the (male) student accused of sexual assault or misconduct; the administration will convene an extra-judicial tribunal to punish or expel the accused, often with a low burden of proof.  
It will find ways to shut down conservative speakers. 
It will browbeat faculty and students to attend sensitivity training sessions on matters of race and gender.  
It will strike task forces to deal with imaginary issues like campus rape culture and propose draconian measures to contain a raging fantasy..."

Older Adults' Forgetfulness Tied To Faulty Brain Rhythms In Sleep, Study Says - Slashdot:
"An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR:
Older brains may forget more because they lose their rhythm at night. 
Image result for old people sleepingDuring deep sleep, older people have less coordination between two brain waves that are important to saving new memories, a team reports in the journal Neuron.
The finding appears to answer a long-standing question about how aging can affect memory even in people who do not have Alzheimer's or some other brain disease.
The study was the result of an effort to understand how the sleeping brain turns short-term memories into memories that can last a lifetime, says Matt Walker, the author of the book Why We Sleep.
...The team also found a likely reason for the lack of coordination associated with aging: atrophy of an area of the brain involved in producing deep sleep.
People with more atrophy had less rhythm in the brain, Walker says..."

Donald Trump unveils national security strategy that promotes American prosperity - Washington Times:

Image result for wikicommons images Donald Trump"Mr. Trump devoted much of his speech to tougher immigration policies, saying previous administrations allowed the U.S. border to become too porous.

“Over the profound objections of the American people, our politicians left our borders wide open,” Mr. Trump said. “Millions of immigrants entered illegally. Millions more were admitted into our country without the proper vetting needed to protect our security and our economy. Leaders in Washington imposed on the country an immigration policy that Americans never voted for, never asked for and never approved — a policy where the wrong people are allowed into our country and the right people are rejected. American citizens, as usual, have been left to bear the cost and to pick up the tab.”"

Rape trial falls apart after accuser’s 40,000 texts are revealed | New York Post

Rape trial falls apart after accuser’s 40,000 texts are revealed | New York Post:
"A student has described going through “mental torture” after a rape case against him was thrown out in court because police had failed to hand over more than 40,000 messages from his accuser.
Liam Allan, 22, faced up to ten years in jail charged with six counts of rape and six counts of sexual assault against a young woman over a 14-month period that began when he was 19.
The criminology student at Greenwich University had spent nearly two years on bail and three days in Croydon Crown Court when the trial was stopped in a dramatic fashion after it emerged police officers had failed to hand over evidence that proved his innocence.
The alleged victim had claimed she did not enjoy sex, while Mr Allan claimed it was consensual and she was acting maliciously because he refused to see her after he returned to university.
Image result for fake rapeNow, the judge has called for an inquiry at the “very highest level” to understand why police failed to hand over critical evidence including 40,000 messages from the accuser to Mr Allan and friends.
...Outside the court, Mr Allan said he went through “mental torture” over the two year period and relied on the system to uncover evidence that would exonerate him.
...“You are all on your own.
I could not talk to my mother about the details of the case because she might have been called as a witness.
I couldn’t talk with my friends because they might have been called.
 I felt completely isolated at every stage of the process,” he said.
“I can’t explain the mental torture of the past two years. … I feel betrayed by the system which I had believed would do the right thing, the system I want to work in.”
The life-changing discovery was made at the 11th hour when a new prosecutor, Jerry Hayes, took over the case one day before the trial began and ordered police to hand over records — including a computer disk that contained 40,000 messages..."

Well, it started back in the '30s when socialist President Franklin Roosevelt started a government sponsored arts program.

"The Federal Theatre Project (1935–39) was a New Deal program to fund theatre and other live artistic performances and entertainment programs in the United States during the Great Depression.
It was one of five Federal Project Number One projects sponsored by the Works Progress Administration.
It was created not as a cultural activity but as a relief measure to employ artists, writers, directors and theater workers.
