Kavanaugh touched his pocket Constitution at least 378 times during confirmation hearings - The Washington Post:

Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, U.S. Appeals Court Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh brought with him a pocket Constitution he has had for the past 25 years. And he simply could not stop touching it, as you'll see in the video above.
Over three days of confirmation hearings, Kavanaugh touched his pocket Constitution no fewer than 378 times, according to a Fix tally. His frequent cradling of the document even caught the attention of Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).

"Six Year Anniversary of The September 11th Attack in Benghazi Libya…--Posted on September 11, 2018 by sundance

To honor the memory of those lost on September 11th/12th 2012:

The Benghazi Brief

The “Benghazi Brief” remains the most controversial research report we have ever produced. 
The brief contains over two years of research and hundreds of very specific factual citations supporting it. 
Four years after it was originally written, and not a single aspect outlined within the brief has ever been identified as inaccurate.

We know from the Bret Baier interview with Hillary Clinton that she was physically located at her 7th floor office in Washington DC on the night of the attack 9/11/12.

Unfortunately we also know during the November 2012 Thanksgiving holiday a mysterious fire took place in that building. Well, actually directly above her exact office – cause undetermined.

A “fire” which preceded an unfortunate slip and fall for the Secretary, resulting in a concussion, which led to the discovery of a blood clot, that ultimately delayed her congressional testimony before a Senate Hearing into the events of the night in question.

We know the Libyan uprising began on February 10th of 2011, and we also know that sometime around the end of February 2011 President Obama signed a presidential directive authorizing the State Dept and CIA to begin a covert operation to arm the Libyan “rebels”.

We also know of a Second Presidential Finding Memo authorizing additional CIA covert action in 2012, this time in Syria. 
However, unlike the 2011 Libyan operation we do not know the operational name of the second action in 2012 (Syria).

We know the Libyan “rebels” were positioned in two strategic places. 
Benghazi, and the port city of Darnah, both located in Northeastern Libya..."
Very long and detailed!
Read it.
Like the most disturbing novel you've ever read.

Huckabee on In-N-Out Backlash for Donating to GOP: If You Don't Agree with Dems 'They Want to Put You Out of Business' | Breitbart:

Huckabee called it “stupid” and “un-American” for the left to call on people to boycott In-N-Out over party donations.
“That’s the difference … between Democrats and Republicans. If you don’t agree with [Democrats] they don’t want to just beat you in the election, they want to put you out of business,” said Huckabee on Fox Business Network last week.

Bumped 9-13-16-----Blamed for Benghazi: Filmmaker jailed after attack now lives in poverty, fear

Blamed for Benghazi: Filmmaker jailed after attack now lives in poverty, fear | Fox News
"Four Americans died in the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, and those who survived saw their stories of heroism told in a Hollywood movie, but the filmmaker whose work was wrongly blamed for touching off the event lives in obscurity, poverty and fear, FoxNews.com has learned.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Coptic Christian whose short video “The Innocence of Muslims” was initially faulted for sparking the Sept. 11, 2012 terror attack at U.S. diplomatic compounds in Libya, is now living in a homeless shelter run by First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif.
He has served time in prison, been shamed publicly by the White House and threatened with death.
“I don’t believe in democracy anymore,” Nakoula told FoxNews.com. “I don’t think there is such a thing as freedom of speech.”
In the aftermath of the Benghazi attack, President Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seized on the anti-Islamist film as the cause of a spontaneous protest that turned violent. U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith and  CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed when armed terrorists laid siege to the compound and set it ablaze.
The story was told in the Michael Bay-directed film "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi," which starred John Krasinski.
Nakoula’s video trailer, posted online and credited to “Sam Bacile,” mocked the Islamic prophet Mohammad – depicting him as everything from a bozo and womanizer to predator and homosexual. 
Although Obama and Clinton were later forced to acknowledge that the attack was an organized assault by Al Qaeda-linked terrorists, Nakoula was soon charged with eight counts of probation violation, jailed without bail and deemed a “danger to the community.”

Tax Reform 2.0 revealed as House Republicans move to permanently lock in last year's cuts - Washington Times

Tax Reform 2.0 revealed as House Republicans move to permanently lock in last year's cuts - Washington Times:

House Republicans announced legislation Monday to permanently lock in last year’s tax cuts, looking to remind voters of the surging economy — and the GOP’s role in helping it get there — in the weeks before the November election.
The three bills are being dubbed Tax Reform 2.0, and would make good on President Trump’s repeated calls on Congress to go beyond the $1.5 trillion package he signed last year.
The new legislation would make permanent all of last year’s tax breaks for individuals, while also boosting incentives for retirement savings and giving startups and small businesses more lenient tax treatment.

Bumped from 10-5-17---The Last Words Of Ambassador Stevens In Benghazi Have Been Revealed | Daily Wire

The Last Words Of Ambassador Stevens In Benghazi Have Been Revealed | Daily Wire: "Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans - U.S. State Department staffer Sean Smith and Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods - were murdered during a 13-hour terror attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that started on the night of September 11, 2012.
...Stevens' harrowing last words:
“When I die, you need to pick up my gun and keep fighting," Stevens told Wickland.
...Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state under President Barack Obama at the time of the attack, an attack she initially, and falsely, blamed on an anti-Islam YouTube video.
According to an 800-page report released from the House Benghazi Committee, Clinton's State Department refused or ignored repeated requests for increased security on the compound, which they knew was undermanned.
Moreover, it was determined that the "administration failed to respond in time, in part because of political concerns." Daily Wire's James Barrett reports:
Then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered U.S. forces to be deployed to rescue our personnel in Benghazi.
Though they were mobilized to a staging area in Italy and were ready to take action, not a single asset he ordered deployed ever left the ground. 
The damning reasons for this failure include political concerns about how the Libyan government wanted our military personnel dressed..."

"...Various observations that have been made about the huge divergence in price patterns over the last several decades include:

a. The greater (lower) the degree of government involvement in the provision of a good or service the greater (lower) the price increases (decreases) over time, e.g., hospital and medical costs, college tuition, childcare with both large degrees of government funding/regulation and large price increases vs. software, electronics, toys, cars and clothing with both relatively less government funding/regulation and falling prices..." 

As somebody on Twitter commented:

Blue lines = prices subject to free market forces. Red lines = prices subject to regulatory capture by government. Food and drink is debatable either way. Conclusion: remind me why socialism is so great again.
