Vote theft by another name-"Ballot Harvesting"-----Paul Ryan questions California's 'bizarre' vote-counting process | Fox News

Paul Ryan questions California's 'bizarre' vote-counting process | Fox News
"House Speaker Paul Ryan questioned the legitimacy of California’s ballot-counting process Thursday, adding to claims from many Republicans that the state’s election procedures are flawed.
“It defies logic to me,” Ryan told the Washington Post.
“We had a lot of wins that night, and three weeks later we lost basically every contested California race. 
This election system they have, I can’t begin to understand what ballot harvesting is.”
"Ballot harvesting" is when a third party collects completed ballots from voters and hands them over to election officials. 
The practice was legal for the first time in California this year.
Ryan has not accused California of any wrongdoing..."

The Lowdown on the Miscreant Who Got Us into this Mess: Woodrow Wilson | Spengler

The Lowdown on the Miscreant Who Got Us into this Mess: Woodrow Wilson | Spengler:

So utterly utopian was Wilson’s vision that it is unfair to characterize the internationalism of Bill Clinton or George W. Bush as “Wilsonian.” Clinton and Bush threw America’s weight around after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but they did not propose—as Wilson did—to replace America’s sovereign decision-making with a global council. Wilson’s League of Nations was closer to the conspiracy theorists’ notion of the United Nations. The commonplace belief that minor concessions on his part would have won ratification of the League of Nations treaty is untenable.
A definitive Wilson biography remains to be written. To make sense of his grand overreach in 1919, historians will need to give more attention to his rancor at the U.S. Constitution and his Southerner’s sense of aggrievement over the Civil War. His was a deep, abiding passion for the Lost Cause and a smoldering hatred for those who crushed it. Of the Confederacy, Wilson rhapsodized in his history of the United States:

"It's a potential faceoff between bullets and thousands of hockey pucks at Oakland University.

The Rochester Hills and Auburn Hills university began equipping its faculty and some students with hockey pucks this month as a "last resort" precaution to throw at any active shooters on campus, officials say.

Global Warming Alarmism Meets a Blizzard of Reality

Global Warming Alarmism Meets a Blizzard of Reality--By Brian C. Joondeph
"In a bit of irony lost on big media, the government, on the eve of winter and during a slew of recent snowstorms, released a doomsday report on global warming. 
As reported in the New York Times:
"A major scientific report issued by 13 federal agencies on Friday presents the starkest warnings to date of the consequences of climate change for the United States, predicting that if significant steps are not taken to rein in global warming, the damage will knock as much as 10 percent off the size of the American economy by century’s end."
Electing Democrats could do far more damage...
...The climate assessment is based on computer models, attempting to predict events 50 to 100 years in the future.
...This climate assessment originated in Congress. “The Global Change Research Act of 1990 mandates that the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) deliver a report to Congress and the President no less than every four years.”
Why not a similar economic assessment for other initiatives such as a carbon tax, Medicare-for-all, raising taxes on “the rich”, or continued open borders and amnesty for illegals?..."

How they "think"-----Trump and Republicans Appeal to Men with Fragile Masculinity, Researchers Find

Trump and Republicans Appeal to Men with Fragile Masculinity, Researchers Find
"President Donald Trump appeals to men with fragile masculinity, two researchers from New York University wrote in analysis published in The Washington Post.
They also said Republican candidates facing a Democrat drew more support in areas with higher levels of fragile masculinity in 2018 House races.
NYU Psychology professor Eric Knowles and doctoral student Sarah DiMuccio queried 300 men on Amazon's crowdsourcing platform Mechanical Turk to discover whether they had or would search for terms such as "erectile dysfunction," "how to get girls," "penis enlargement," "testosterone," and "Viagra," among others.
...The researchers also checked relations between fragile masculinity and voting in 2008 and 2012, finding "that the correlation of fragile masculinity and voting in presidential elections was distinctively stronger in 2016" than it was when John McCain and Mitt Romney were Republican presidential candidates.
...This suggests that fragile masculinity has now become a stronger predictor of voting behavior."...

IRS Admits It Encourages Illegals To Steal Social Security Numbers For Taxes

IRS Admits It Encourages Illegals To Steal Social Security Numbers For Taxes:

This isn’t exactly the kind of story the IRS wants buzzing around at tax time. The IRS and Justice Department normally want 'scared straight' stories just before Tax Day. Ideally, when an indictment or conviction for tax evasion hits the news, it makes you think twice. Somehow, you think just a bit more about all those deductions, or if you really reported all your income, before you sign your return under penalties of perjury.
Instead, we have the top dog at the IRS, the IRS Commissioner himself, admitting that, well, there’s a problem with illegal immigrants and taxes. In fact, the top IRS official this time wasn’t talking about how the IRS wipes some hard drives or can’t find emails. He wasn’t even asking for a bigger budget to give bonuses to IRS employees.

Minneapolis Installs Sharia Hotline to Report Americans Who Criticize Islam - News Punch

Minneapolis Installs Sharia Hotline to Report Americans Who Criticize Islam - News Punch"

"The city of Minneapolis has set up a hotline for residents to report citizens who criticize Islam, in order to investigate them for “hate crimes”, according to statements on the city’s website.

The city, run by Democrat Mayor Besty Hodges, a non-Muslim who regularly wears a hijab in public, will operate the “service” through its 3-1-1 helpline, and claims it is targeting any “harassing behaviors motivated by prejudice”, according to a press release.
The city’s Department of Civil Rights clearly states on its website that it only enforces hate crimes against certain “protected classes.”
 Muslim imams, as members of the “protected class,” can preach the destruction of America from a Minneapolis mosque, and they will not be prosecuted.
A city official also admitted the creation of the sharia hotline was the election of President Trump and that the targets are his supporters.

Thousands of migrants associated with the caravan have been treated in Tijuana, Mexico for infectious diseases, ranging from simple respiratory infections to tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, according to a recent report from the border.

Border Patrol Chief: 'Not a Single Migrant Climbed Over the New Border Wall'

Border Patrol Chief: 'Not a Single Migrant Climbed Over the New Border Wall':

"But in the meantime, I'd like to point out that not a single migrant climbed over the new border wall. We have about eight miles of border wall completed here in San Diego -- unfortunately, that's not complete. So the military came over in the last several weeks to help us fortify different areas, but it's those weak areas where we have not upgraded the infrastructure that the migrants were able to breach."

Sultan Knish: First They Came for Confederate Generals, Then for Black Conservatives
"The Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine near the Detroit Medical Center has an ambitious program of preparing its mostly African-American students for careers in medicine.
Students from Ben Carson High recently toured a hospital and experienced what it’s like to be doctors.
The school’s name, in its own words, honors “Dr. Benjamin Carson whose journey from impoverished, inner-city Detroit youth to acclaimed neurosurgeon is remarkable and is a constant reminder to Benjamin Carson students that their career dreams are achievable.”
Or maybe not.
The Detroit school board voted to rename the school under guidelines that say a school can be renamed when it doesn’t reflect the student population or when “information newly discovered about the current name of the school is negative in nature.”
LaMar Lemmons, a Democrat, was the leading advocate for removing Ben Carson's name from the school..."

Democrats use tear gas image as sentimental weapon to avoid clearheaded immigration debate - Chicago Tribune
"...now, the left has no answers to what’s going on along the southern border. 
Instead, we’re given shrieks of rage at President Donald Trump.
They conveniently forget that under President Barack Obama, migrants who tried crashing the border and threatening border officials were hit with chemical agents.
Some journalists conveniently forgot this, or perhaps didn’t even bother to look at what Obama had done.
The American people who are concerned about their porous borders know this, which is one reason journalism is held in low regard.
...Millions of Americans who do not consider themselves to be hateful — Republicans and Democrats — are asking simple questions:
Is there anything wrong with mandating that immigrants legally apply for asylum rather than break into the U.S. and fade into America? 
I happen to think that’s fair, and it’s legal.
Yet where are the liberal Democratic solutions to address those in the migrant caravans determined to push illegally across the borders?...

Rubio Has the Guts to Expose What the Caravan Is Really All About - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Marco Rubio steps up and has the guts to tell everybody what this caravan movement is really all about. It was a giant test of the resolve of the United States and the Trump administration to hold firm on the border. There’s no question that’s what it was. The people doing the testing, international leftists all the way down to Honduras and Mexico and American leftists joining together. There’s no question that Rubio is right about this.

Boy toy or girl toy? Lawmakers want to end gender classification of fast-food toys | wzzm13.com
A Michigan House resolution introduced Wednesday urges fast food restaurants like McDonald's to stop gender classification of kid's meal toys, claiming the practice "can influence and limit children's imaginations.''

LANSING, Mich. - Should restaurants still offer "boy toys" and "girl toys" when serving up chicken nuggets and fries?

More than a dozen Michigan lawmakers say no.

A House Resolution introduced Wednesday, Nov. 28 urges food establishments and franchises to stop gender classification of kid’s meal toys.

State Rep. Leslie Love, D-Detroit, is the primary sponsor. 

The resolution has 14 co-sponsors.

“Often, the designated ‘boy toys’ are action figures or building toys; typically in primary colors, whereas ‘girl toys’ are often stuffed animals and are usually in a pastel color scheme,’’ the resolution states.

...Many stores in Michigan continue to offer gender-classified options to customers, despite numerous studies that have “highlighted the harmful effects of gender-classified toys,’’ the resolution states..."

A Case for Dropping out of College | Intellectual Takeout

A Case for Dropping out of College | Intellectual Takeout
"Citing George Mason University economist Bryan Caplan, Knoche points out that this is due more to “ability bias,” rather than actual education:

From the outset, the average college student is different from the average American who does not go to college. The competitive college admissions process winnows the applicant pool in such a way as to guarantee that those who make it into college are more intelligent, conscientious and conformist than other members of his or her high-school graduating cohort. In other words, when colleges boast about the ‘70% income premium’ they supposedly provide students, they are taking credit for abilities that those students already had before they set foot on campus, and which they likely could retain and commercially exploit even if they never got a college diploma.

Even if  all of this is true about the value of a college “education,” Knoche admits that real value of college lies in the “signaling” value of the diploma..."

CNN Jim Acosta wrong on migrant caravan 'invasion' - Washington Times:

Flash ahead less than three weeks and whamo! — an actual invasion as so-called “migrants” clashed with U.S. Border Patrol guards at the San Ysidro port, throwing rocks and, yes, trying to climb over fences and walls “and so on.”
Yes, as the president predicted (and feared), thousands of migrants from the caravan gathered in the city of Tijuana, Mexico, and then stormed the border, overwhelming border guards, who were forced to fire tear gas to disperse the violent mob.

More than 19,000 Illinois government retirees receive pensions over $100K

More than 19,000 Illinois government retirees receive pensions over $100K
"The average six-figure retiree contributed just over $160,000 (TOTAL) toward their own pension over the course of their career.
Data from Illinois’ six largest pension systems show 19,158 former government workers collect annual pensions of more than $100,000, costing those systems nearly $2.4 billion combined in fiscal year 2018.
Six-figure pensioners enrolled in those systems contributed an average of $160,100 toward their own retirements over the course of their careers, and retired on average at age 59.
...TRS pays out more than $100,000 annually to nearly 12,000 pensioners – the largest number of six-figure pensioners among the six systems. 
SURS comes in second, with 4,283 members receiving annual benefits exceeding $100,000. 
Dozens of state lawmakers who bear responsibility for Illinois’ pension crisis are also receiving six-figure pension payouts from GARS.

The top annual earner among the six systems is University of Illinois, Chicago professor emeritus Tapas Das Gupta, who received nearly $504,700 in fiscal year 2018..."

"MI6 is battling President Trump to not Declassify the FISA documents.

 Amazingly, The Guardian, a UK based and controlled media outlet puts out a story about "unnamed sources" and Trump being involved with WIKILEAKS.

Really? Seriously?

• Why would a Foreign Intelligence Service be so concerned about a U.S. matter?
• Why would a Foreign Intelligence Service be so concerned about the release of U.S. documents?
• Why would a Foreign Intelligence Service be so concerned about "sources and methods"?
• Why would a Foreign Intelligence Service care about "Russian Collusion" in a U.S. election?
• Why would a Foreign Intelligence Service even be involved in spy craft associated with the United States and supposed ally care who holds power in OUR COUNTRY!!!

Tough questions, but anyone who can critically THINK can figure out the answers.

New Evidence Reveals Full Extent of Common Core’s Historic Failure
"...Paid advocates such as the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation continue to push Common Core despite overwhelming evidence of the slow-motion train wreck that has resulted – reduced student achievement by almost every metric. 
Fordham refuses even to acknowledge the bad news, much less try to rationalize it.
...Study authors Ted Rebarber of AccountabilityWorks and Neal McCluskey of the Cato Institute advocate restoring genuine diversity in education models by removing centralized government control over K-12 school standards.
But the prelude to that argument came from Rebarber, who minced no words in describing the doleful effect of Common Core on education.
“In my view,” Rebarber observed, “[Common Core] is really the worst large-scale educational failure in 40 years.”
...Rebarber focused on scores of the bottom quartile of students, those who were already behind – “the students that were touted as the target for improvement.”
Under Common Core, these students’ performance has fallen..."
