Jeff Sessions: Southern Poverty Law Center uses 'hate' designation as 'weapon' against conservatives - Washington Times:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Wednesday the Justice Department would not partner with groups that discriminate against or defame others, singling out the Southern Poverty Law Center for its “hate group” campaign.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Old Wine In A New Bottle | The Daily Caller

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Old Wine In A New Bottle | The Daily Caller
"I was tinkering with an old Jaguar last weekend and found that one of the coolant hoses had cracked. Personally, I blame Trump.
Why not? 
It seems that the topic of the week has been “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” 
I’ve been trying to figure out what that really means and how it manifests.
Surely, thoughtful dialogue or critique of the man or his policies can’t be “derangement.” 
Our old friend Webster defines “deranged” as: 
1) mentally unsound; 
2) disturbed or disordered in function, structure, or condition; or 
3) wildly odd or eccentric.
And yet here we are. 
There are literally hundreds of Internet and social media platforms dedicated to Trump-related anxiety and fear. 
So many in fact, that the mere existence of so many is for some less-than-critical thinkers proof in itself that the president is the treasonous reincarnation of Hitler by way of Ming the Merciless.
 Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
To be honest I don’t believe “derangement” is quite the right word..."

Delusional!-----5 Takeaways From Tuesday's Special Elections | ScrappleFace

5 Takeaways From Tuesday's Special Elections | ScrappleFace
(2018-08-08) — With Tuesday’s special elections mostly over — Ohio’s 12th Congressional district result may trigger a recount — experts say candidates and voters can take the following lessons into November’s mid-terms.
1. Democrats spell ‘loss’ v-i-c-t-o-r-y: Merely inferior vote numbers can be deceiving. If the margin of loss should have been bigger, Democrats are de facto winners and should begin shopping for Congressional office drapery.
2. Trump-backed winners are losers: If the margin of their victory should have been bigger, Republicans endorsed by Trump may as well pull out of the race now and go home. His days are numbered, the new Democratic majority will impeach him, and…Russia.
3. Centrist Democrats merely faked Progressivism: Endorsements from Socialists Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders didn’t help Progressive candidates to win primaries because centrist Democrats publicly espoused Progressive views. Today, the moderate primary winners go back to being JFK Democrats so old people will vote for them in November.
4. Democrats can flip 23 House Seats: Because…momentum. Democrats are filled with energy and a youthful spirit, so they’ll get out the vote to return Rep. Nancy Pelosi to the House Speaker’s chair for her second century.
5. Republicans must avoid Trump: With GDP growing at a fast pace, unemployment at historic lows, and taxes coming down, savvy Republican candidates must insulate themselves from President Trump, who shoulders the blame for the economic disruption he caused after the stability of the Obama years."

Trump’s new ‘zero tolerance’ rules cut welfare-dependent foreigners from taxpayer money spigot Conservative News Today
"Foreign nationals who need government welfare may find it harder to resettle in the U.S. as the Trump administration is set to roll out a new plan to save American taxpayers money.
The administration’s proposal, spearheaded by White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, would seek to prevent immigrants from coming to the U.S. if they may end up being a drain on taxpayers, Breitbart News reported.
New rules would be added and old laws would be enforced in the multi-pronged plan that would make it harder for legal immigrant residents who have used any forms of welfare in the past – including Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing – from becoming citizens.
“The administration is committed to enforcing existing immigration law, which is clearly intended to protect the American taxpayer by ensuring that foreign nationals seeking to enter or remain in the U.S are self-sufficient,” a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News..."

Exclusive -- Robert Epstein: Who Gave Private Big Tech Companies the Power to Decide What We Can See?:

Dr. Robert Epstein, the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology and a veteran of Breitbart News’ “Masters of the Universe” town hall on Internet freedom, joined SiriusXM hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak on Monday’s Breitbart News Tonight to discuss the simultaneous banning of Infowars host Alex Jones by most major social media platforms.
Epstein stressed that he is not a political conservative and “certainly no fan of Alex Jones,” but he saw the Jones’ banning as a disturbing threat to the free speech and vibrant democracy he loves. “I think the big issue here is not even a free speech issue. The issue is: Who should be making these decisions about what people see and don’t see? That’s the question.”

Another failed socialist "dream"-----Dallas Mayor Blames Bike-Sharing Company for Recycling Bikes After City's New Fees Killed Bike-Sharing - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Dallas Mayor Blames Bike-Sharing Company for Recycling Bikes After City's New Fees Killed Bike-Sharing - Hit & Run : Reason.com
"New permitting and registration fees have killed off at least one bike-sharing company previously operating in Dallas, Texas.

Which means that instead of helping people commute, run errands, or visit friends, thousands of yellow bikes previously operated by Ofo, a Beijing-based bike-sharing firm, are now heaped in a city recycling center like a massive modernist monument to poor civic policy.

Ofo decided to pull out of Dallas after the city passed new rules requiring an $800 registration fee and permit fees of $21 per bike, according to The Dallas Morning News. 

While there were more than 20,000 shared bikes available in Dallas—including roughly 5,000 operated by Ofo—before the city's new registration fee system went into effect, there are now only about 3,500 such bikes available, the paper reports..."

ACA subsidies cost more per person than Medicaid. Is that sustainable? - Modern Healthcare

ACA subsidies cost more per person than Medicaid. Is that sustainable? - Modern Healthcare
"Government spending on Obamacare premiums has raced past its per-person spending on Medicaid expansion, and the gap is poised to increase—a trend that has some policy experts shaking their heads over the long-term economic picture and at least one major insurer questioning the sustainability of the individual market.

This year, federal dollars going to exchange premium subsidies more than doubled from 2014 and the Congressional Budget Office projected they will nearly double again over the next decade. 
States are pursuing reinsurance waivers and even eying further expanding Medicaid—where the federal government shoulders nearly all the cost—through a public option to lower expenses for the people covered through the exchanges. 
...Data from the CBO and the CMS cast the individual market as a costly second version of Medicaid, although low-income people who opt to use their subsidies for bronze plans get little more than catastrophic coverage because they can't use cost-sharing reduction payments for help with co-pays and high deductibles.
The CBO's latest projections from earlier this year show government paying out an average of $6,300 annually for every subsidized enrollee in fiscal 2018. 
It estimates that number will rise to nearly $12,500 in 2028. 
In contrast, Medicaid spends $4,230 per non-disabled adult, set to inflate at 5.2% annually to just over $7,000 per person in 2028..."

The Sanders/Cortez progressive takeover of the Democratic Party crashes in primary elections | TheBlaze

The Sanders/Cortez progressive takeover of the Democratic Party crashes in primary elections | TheBlaze:

 Republicans and Democrats are trying to read the tea leaves to decipher the future of the country in the midterm elections after the results of Tuesday’s primary elections and one special election.
After a shocking upset victory by Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York, she and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were hoping to continue a progressive takeover of the Democratic Party but that hope was dashed to the rocks Tuesday.

Expert: 170 Registered Voters in Ohio's 12th District Listed as Over 116 Years Old

Expert: 170 Registered Voters in Ohio's 12th District Listed as Over 116 Years Old: 
"Republican Troy Balderson clings to a narrow margin in last night’s special election for Ohio’s 12th Congressional district, underscoring the impact voter fraud can have in key elections around the country.
The separation of 1700 votes, or less than one percent, highlights the recent attempt by Democratic activists to fight efforts to prevent voter fraud from occurring.
For the past four years, George Soros has spent millions of dollars trying to weaken Ohio’s election security by funding efforts to both:

• block its implementation of Voter ID and 
• prevent the state from removing inaccurate registrations.

...Consider that 170 registered voters listed as being over 116 years old still existed on the rolls of Ohio’s 12th Congressional when GAI accessed the data last August. 
That’s 10 percent of Balderson’s current margin of victory, pending provisional ballots. 
And 72 voters over the age of 116 who “live” in Balderson’s district cast ballots in the 2016 election.
But the Left hasn’t given up trying to create conditions favorable for voter fraud in Ohio. 
As former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell has pointed out, “hyper-partisan liberals…have their eyes on Ohio.” 
Electing a Democrat as the state’s top elections official would undoubtedly roll back the hard-won safeguards Ohio has implemented. 
And as Blackwell points out, as goes Ohio, so goes the Presidency."

"Six “YOUTHS” “LYNCH” Man Defending His Wife Outside Muslim-Migrant “No-Go-Zone” In The French Suburbs of Saint-Denis

...A trio of seventeen-year-old youths in the French department of Val-d’Oise were arrested early Tuesday morning after they “lynched” a man coming to the aid of his wife, who was also attacked by the group. 
The incident occurred sometime between the late night of Monday and early morning Tuesday and saw the wife of the victim confront a group of six youths who were being loud and obnoxious in the street outside of the couple’s home.

While confronting the drunken youths, the woman was said to have been met with a torrent of abusive language and during the confrontation one of the men dropped a glass bottle which shattered on the ground and then proceeded to attack the woman with it.

The husband of the woman then attempted to come to her aid and, according to witnesses, was thrown on the ground and viciously beaten, being kicked repeatedly in the body and the head.

...The riots, which many have considered to have an anti-Semitic element, saw 200 masked individuals attempt to attack a local synagogue while fires were set at the Garges-les-Gonesse-Sarcelles RER station. http://www.atlantico.fr/…/manifestations-pro-palestiniennes…

Earlier this year a lesbian couple was attacked at an RER station in the department by a gang of “youths” who called the pair “lesbian whores” before assaulting them. https://www.breitbart.com/…/female-homosexual-couple-attac…/

Media Omits New Mexico Compound Leader’s Muslim Ties | The Daily Caller
"Media outlets are leaving out a key detail about the New Mexico compound leaders who were reportedly training young children to commit school shootings.

Eleven children were recently rescued from the “filthy” compound, which police say appears to be run by Siraj Wahhaj and Lucas Morten. 

Wahhaj, the son of a prominent imam, was accused in court documents released Wednesday of training the children on the compound to commit school shootings. 
(RELATED: Prosecutors: Son Of Prominent Imam Was Training Children To Commit School Shootings)

Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said Tuesday that he believes Wahhaj and Morten are “extremist[s] of the Muslim belief.” 

...CNN, for example, did not mention the words “Muslim” or “extremist” in a Tuesday article about the discovery of the 11 missing children.

During an on-air segment about the compound, CNN correspondent...

NBC News, Time Magazine and CBS News also did not mention the alleged “extremist … belief[s]” of the compound leaders in two recent articles."

Nancy Pelosi: Voting for Democrats Gives 'Leverage' to Illegal Immigrants:

In February, Pelosi delivered a speech that lasted more than eight hours on the U.S. House floor, demanding a vote for amnesty for illegal aliens brought to the country as minors, who have been helped by the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program since 2012. (The program was canceled by the Trump administration last year, but remains active thanks to the courts.)
In her address, Pelosi described illegal aliens as “more American than Americans.”

...As Spero News has reported in the past, the Confucius Institute is funded by the Chinese government and has outlets on 100 American college and university campuses.
Described as a means of cultural exchange, teachers from the Confucius Institute are also provided to public elementary and high schools in the U.S.
