Ocasio-Cortez Move Allows Her Staff To Avoid Financial Disclosure Laws | Daily Wire:
Ocasio-Cortez chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti — a wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur who recently bought a $1.6 million home in Maryland — would be protected from having to follow the public disclosure laws.
The Examiner noted that a government watchdog group, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), "said the $80,000 salary cap for Ocasio-Cortez’ senior staffers was concerning because it could be used to intentionally evade financial disclosure laws."

Small Nuclear War Could Reverse Global Warming for Years?
Small Nuclear War Could Reverse Global Warming for Years?
Read all!
..."The main message from our work," NASA's Oman said, "would be that even a regional nuclear conflict would have global consequences."
- Even a regional nuclear war could spark "unprecedented" global cooling and reduce rainfall for years, according to U.S. government computer models.
- Widespread famine and disease would likely follow, experts speculate.
- During the Cold War, a nuclear exchange between superpowers—such as the one feared for years between the United States and the former Soviet Union—was predicted to cause a "nuclear winter."

Kevin Lundberg - Colorado sex ed bill
Kevin Lundberg - Over the past few weeks I have given several...
"Over the past few weeks I have given several descriptions of the Colorado sex ed bill, HB-1032. However, it is such a complicated and comprehensive bill it is hard to capture all that is within this legislation.
Here is another facet to this radical bill, this time considering what is not included.
The most glaring omission is anything relating to heterosexual marriage.
"Over the past few weeks I have given several descriptions of the Colorado sex ed bill, HB-1032. However, it is such a complicated and comprehensive bill it is hard to capture all that is within this legislation.
Here is another facet to this radical bill, this time considering what is not included.
The most glaring omission is anything relating to heterosexual marriage.
The bill bends over backwards to require the instruction of other human relationships, including the entire LGBT+ spectrum and even singles out a requirement that “immigrant communities” be represented in the discussions.
However, nowhere is there anything that would indicate that “comprehensive human sexuality education” includes instruction on sexuality within the context of a heterosexual marriage.
A quick search of the reengrossed version of the bill yields not one use of the words “marriage,” “baby,” “child,” “wife,” “husband,” “man,” or “woman.”
A quick search of the reengrossed version of the bill yields not one use of the words “marriage,” “baby,” “child,” “wife,” “husband,” “man,” or “woman.”
The word “children” is only found in an amendment Republican House members included in a part of the bill that will not become a part of the statutory law and that was adopted after a very long and contentious debate in second reading..."

Martina Navratilova sorry for transgender 'cheat' language as she re-enters debate - BBC Sport
"Tennis icon Martina Navratilova has apologised for using the term "cheating" when discussing whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sport.
"Tennis icon Martina Navratilova has apologised for using the term "cheating" when discussing whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sport.
Navratilova - one of the most successful tennis players of all time - has been criticised as "transphobic" for writing that transgender women had "unfair" physical advantages over female opponents.
On Saturday, former British swimmer Sharron Davies told BBC Sport that many current athletes "feel the same way" and that trans athletes should not compete in female events to "protect women's sport".
However, transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon, who won a UCI Masters Track World Championship title in October, said Davies was "sharing hate speech".
Athlete Ally - a US-based organisation that campaigns for LGBT sportspeople - cut its links with Navratilova in the wake of the 62-year-old's original comments, saying they "perpetuate dangerous myths".

In a new blog published on Sunday, Navratilova said:
- She was "sorry" for using the word "cheat"
- She had been "vilified" as "transphobic" since her initial comments on the subject
- Creating further separate categories in sport for trans athletes could cause "confusion" and would be a "big mistake" in tennis
- She "stumbled into a hornet's nest" and got a "barrage of quite nasty personal attacks.

Ocasio-Cortez Has Temper Tantrum After New York Post Exposes Her As A Fraud
Ocasio-Cortez Has Temper Tantrum After New York Post Exposes Her As A Fraud
"New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a temper tantrum after The New York Post outed her as a hypocrite.
In a scathing story this weekend The Post showed how the 29-year-old goes against everything she preaches.
But the woman who boasts of a “razor-sharp BS detector” seems to have trouble sniffing out her own.
Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017,
...She did not like the expose, which delved deeper into her hypocrisy and is a good read, and she did what she does best.
She lashed out on Twitter at The Post and its story exposing her as the fraud that she is.
...The socialist representative is a charlatan and a hypocrite and she does not like when she is exposed."
"New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a temper tantrum after The New York Post outed her as a hypocrite.
In a scathing story this weekend The Post showed how the 29-year-old goes against everything she preaches.
- “We’re like, ‘The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change,’” Cortez said in January, The Post reported.
- “And, like, this is the war; this is our World War II,” she said, talking more like a teenager than a Congresswoman.
- “It is basically a scientific consensus that the lives of our children are going to be very difficult” she said last week.
- “And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: is it OK to still have children?” she said.
- She wants to have a “a full transition off fossil fuels and zero greenhouse gases” in the next decade.
- And her Green New Deal insists that we need to “totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail … create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle,” The Post reported.
But the woman who boasts of a “razor-sharp BS detector” seems to have trouble sniffing out her own.
Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017,
- Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign heavily relied on those combustible-engine cars — even though a subway station was just 138 feet from her Elmhurst campaign office.
- … Her campaign embraced the friendly skies, logging 66 airline transactions costing $25,174.54 during campaign season.
- The Democratic firebrand or her staff took Amtrak far less — only 18 times — despite high-speed rail being the cornerstone of her save-the-world strategy.
- Most of the flights came after her primary win gave her superstar status and Ocasio-Cortez spent weeks jetting around the country, burning fuel to support her fellow Dems.
...She did not like the expose, which delved deeper into her hypocrisy and is a good read, and she did what she does best.
She lashed out on Twitter at The Post and its story exposing her as the fraud that she is.

The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare | Investor's Business Daily
"Global Warming: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job: It measures U.S. temperatures.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a captive of the global warming religion.
Its data are fraudulent.
What do we mean by fraudulent?
How about this: NOAA has made repeated "adjustments" to its data, for the presumed scientific reason of making the data sets more accurate.
Nothing wrong with that.
Except, all their changes point to one thing — lowering previously measured temperatures to show cooler weather in the past, and raising more recent temperatures to show warming in the recent present.
This creates a data illusion of ever-rising temperatures to match the increase in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere since the mid-1800s, which global warming advocates say is a cause-and-effect relationship.
The more CO2, the more warming.
But the actual measured temperature record shows something different..."

The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare | Investor's Business Daily:
Far from legitimately "adjusting" anything, it appears they are cooking the data to show a politically correct trend toward global warming. Not by coincidence, that has been part and parcel of the government's underlying policies for the better part of two decades.
What NOAA does aren't niggling little changes, either.
As Tony Heller at the Real Climate Science web site notes, "Pre-2000 temperatures are progressively cooled, and post-2000 temperatures are warmed. This year has been a particularly spectacular episode of data tampering by NOAA, as they introduce nearly 2.5 degrees of fake warming since 1895."
So the global warming scare is basically a hoax.

"The media and the Acela corridor are fixated today on the Michael Cohen saga like a hungry kid outside a candy store, looking for a sugar rush to sate their Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But it is still rather amazing that even our ego-centric, Beltway-obsessed media is giving almost no attention to the possibility that full scale war may be about to break out between India and Pakistan.
I’m having to scour the European press, like the Irish Times, to find any reporting.
India has sent some warplanes into Pakistani-held territory around Kashmir, and it is reported that Pakistan has apparently shot down at least one Indian fighter jet.
India and Pakistan have long disputed Kashmir, but recently a Pakistani-linked militant group carried out an attack in Kashmir that killed 40 Indian soldiers.
The first Indian counterattack by air is reported to have killed 300 Pakistanis.
As everyone knows, India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons, and it is still not widely known on the Acela corridor that India and Pakistan were close to war once in the late 1990s, and it supposedly required the strenuous interventions of Tony Blair and Bill Clinton to keep that crisis from escalating..."

Detroit police are debunking a story making the rounds on Facebook that claims that officers arrested a Michigan woman, who allegedly trained 27 squirrels to attack her ex-boyfriend.The article published in 2017 on World News Daily Report's website, stated the Detroit Police Department allegedly investigated the incident, in which the alleged victim reportedly lost "two fingers and one testicle."
The article included a mugshot of a woman and a photo of Detroit Police Chief James Craig at a press conference allegedly detailing the arrest.
The two-year-old story, which a representative with the police department called "fake news," continues to be shared on social media, even as recently as Wednesday.
It was shared by WIMI-FM (99.7) radio station in Ironwood with the caption, "For Entertainment Purposes Only."
The post has generated 47 comments and 289 shares by Wednesday morning.

"Democrat Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt a bit feisty on Saturday.
The Socialist Democrat accused ICE of injecting children with unknown substances and raping women.
And AOC blamed ICE for children dying in custody after the kids were dragged through a blistering desert by the parents before the entered the US.
On Sunday morning former ICE Director Tom Homan went on FOX and Friends to discuss AOC’s accusations.
Tom Homan WAS OUTRAGED! And he ripped apart EVERY SINGLE BOGUS ACCUSATION by the Democrat Socialist.
Tom Homan: She says we’re dangerous? What’s dangerous is a congresswoman who doesn’t know fact from fiction! You have a congresswoman who doesn’t know how to tell the truth. I forgot more on this subject than she will ever know in her two whole months of being a congresswoman.She said three things. She said ICE was holding children down and injecting them with anti-psychotic drugs. Are you kidding me? That allegation was made against HHS. A different agency in a different department and she failed to mention those accusations were unsubstantiated. That was not ICE.As far as raping women, sexually abusing women? ICE rescued 310 women from traffickers last year… We save women, we don’t rape them… I’m sick and tired of ICE agents being accused of stuff.As far as she said children dying in ICE custody. A child has NEVER DIED in ICE custody EVER! Give me one name of a child that died in ICE custody! Two children died in custody of the Border Patrol and it wasn’t their fault. They did everything they could… So this lady, this congresswoman needs to get her facts straight!.. I’m sick of this!”
This was an AMAZING factcheck of one of the Democrats’ most vocal and ignorant members!

Why We Are a Republic, Not a Democracy | Intellectual Takeout:
Many people whine that using the Electoral College instead of the popular vote and majority rule is undemocratic. I’d say that they are absolutely right. Not deciding who will be the president by majority rule is not democracy.
But the Founding Fathers went to great lengths to ensure that we were a republic and not a democracy. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any other of our founding documents.
How about a few quotations expressed by the Founders about democracy?
In Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison wanted to prevent rule by majority faction, saying, “Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”
