Trump Battles the 'Deep State,' and the Swamp Strikes Back | National Review:

Never before in the history of the presidency had a commander-in-chief earned the antipathy of the vast majority of the media, much of the career establishments of both political parties, the majority of the holders of the nation’s accumulated personal wealth, and the permanent federal bureaucracy.
And lived to tell the tale.

This Is Why Doctors Are Marking Their Scrub Caps with Sharpies

This Is Why Doctors Are Marking Their Scrub Caps with Sharpies: 

• Doctors Are Saving Lives by Writing Their Names on Their Scrub Caps

"Hospitals are packed with every piece of medical equipment known to man, but it turns out a simple Sharpie pen is also responsible for saving countless lives.
It started with Dr. Rob Hackett, who can easily be spotted while walking through the corridors of his hospital — his name and role is emblazoned in large letters on his scrub cap.

...But Dr. Hackett's scrub-cap name tag is catching on and tons of doctors are following his lead. 

But it's not the some inexplicable fashion trend, like Crocs. 

It's because the practice is making a difference in the way their hospitals are operating in high-pressure environments.
The reason?

With the amount of staff walking around hospitals, it's difficult to keep track of everybody's name and specialty...

... it's a huge problem, especially when you're working with a team of surgeons and every second counts. Dr. Hackett spoke about a patient experiencing cardiac arrest. 

The doctor asked a colleague for a pair of gloves, but there was confusion as to who he was speaking to."

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming
Mohamad Alkhateeb
"Hi everyone
This is my first post here and i realize most of us will.
Not be able to read Arabic . 

Attached photos are simple count of the pages teaching and preaching of global warming lessons in the environmental education textbook of my 10th grade daughter , note we come from Jordan the Middle East country by Israel and Syria .
The book is 60 pages in total and the global warming context occupies 16 pages of that total .
This is equivalent to 26.7% of Carbon dioxide preaching and saturation on earths climate warming that sweeps over the book in a phenomenal explanation.!
My younger daughters also get greater doses, do you get the same in your places ?
Does it click any buttons to anyone why we struggle to put evidence in construct that CO2 is not responsible for global warming ?
We are brain washed with CO2.
Note :-Jordan Gov't received 8 billion USD aid to help adapting to global and climatic change (namely warming) in the past 10 years, this is true!
From comments:

• John Thwaite** So apparently if you’re prepared to brain-wash your kids with this BS masquerading as science, the UN will throw money at you. Sounds legit.
• Mohamad Alkhateeb** John Thwaite, also we got drowned In sudden flash floods last month, powerful infrastructure ! I wonder where the hell did they spend the 8 billions !
• John Thwaite** Mohamad Alkhateeb, They need shiny new jet aircraft so they can appear to be “progressive” when attending the next IPCC event.

35 Key People Involved In The Russia Hoax Who Need To Be Investigated

35 Key People Involved In The Russia Hoax Who Need To Be Investigated:

The documents have been called “dossiers,” but that really just attaches a fancy term to a Word document full of unverified mumbo jumbo that alleged Trump-Russia collusion. Those Word documents were then used to spy on the opposing political party’s presidential campaign, and to plant stories in the media right before the election insinuating that Trump had nefarious ties with Russia.
Here are 36 people who should be interviewed under oath, if they have not been interviewed already, some of whom should be subjected to criminal prosecution.

Again and again-----New York City is edging toward financial disaster, experts warn

New York City is edging toward financial disaster, experts warn
"New York City is careening closer to all-out financial bankruptcy for the first time since Mayor Abraham Beame ran the city more than 40 years ago, experts say.
As tax-fleeced businesses and individuals flee en masse, and city public spending surges into the stratosphere, financial analysts say Gotham is perilously near total fiscal disaster.
Long-term debt is now more than $81,100 per household, and Mayor de Blasio is ramping up to spend as much as $3 billion more in the new budget than the current $89.2 billion.
...“New York is already in a difficult financial spot, but it would be in an impossible situation if we had any kind of setback.”
...But city spending, up some 32 percent since de Blasio took office — triple the rate of inflation — may need to be cut deeper, these analysts add.
The city’s long-term pension obligations have escalated, as well, as its workforce has soared by more than 33,000 in the last five years..."

Recycling: Wasteful, Expensive, Pointless | National Review

Recycling: Wasteful, Expensive, Pointless | National Review

• It’s very expensive and has little or no environmental benefit.

"...It may make sense to recycle a few items for the savings in carbon emissions — paper, cardboard, and metals such as aluminum from cans. 

Recycling a ton of these items saves about three tons of carbon dioxide. 

Glass, plastic, rubber, all the other stuff? 

Not really. 

We used to send our plastic empties to China, but China has lost interest, as The Atlantic’s Alana Semuels reports in “Is This the End of Recycling?” 

The subhead reads, “Now that other countries won’t take our papers and plastics, they’re ending up in the trash.” 

Some municipalities are directing those recycling trucks to the nearest incinerator. 

A transfer station in New Hampshire reports that sending rubbish to a landfill costs $68 a ton. 

Recycling it? 

That costs $125 a ton. 
Wasn’t recycling supposed to save us money, not cost twice as much?..."

Judicial Watch Exposes Deep State Anti-Trump Collusion - Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch Exposes Deep State Anti-Trump Collusion - Judicial Watch:

Big news. We just uncovered 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the Justice Department which reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.
The records show that Ohr served as a go-between for Steele by passing along information to “his colleagues” on matters relating to Steele’s activities. Ohr also set up meetings with Steele, regularly talked to him on the telephone and provided him assistance in dealing with situations Steele was confronting with the media.
“Get Trump” Dossier author Steele worked for the Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign/DNC contractor that also employed Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr’s wife.

Finley: AG Nessel puts civil liberties at risk
"Combating hate crimes is a worthy endeavor.
But the new campaign announced by Attorney General Dana Nessel has the real potential to morph into thought policing.
Nessel, in partnership with Agustin Arbulu, director of the Michigan Department of Civil rights, say they will create a process to document incidents of hate and bias that don't rise to the level of criminal or civil infractions.
That could translate to speech or expressions of opinion that some may find offensive, but are protected by the First Amendment.
Bias is protected by the Constitution until it infringes on the rights and freedoms of others, and hate is often in the eye of the beholder..."

The Snowflake Barons Are Eating Each Other | The American Spectator
"In 2008’s iconic superhero film The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger’s Joker barks at Christian Bale’s Batman:
Don’t talk like one of [the cops]; you’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me. They need you now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out like a leper. See, their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke, to be dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you, when the chips are down, these civilized people? They’ll eat each other.
He might as well have been talking about Silicon Valley.
Twenty-eighteen was a bad year for the totalitarian titans of tech.
Faced with one scandal after another, the industry retreated behind a wall of lobbying money, hoping their bank accounts would shield them from their increasingly ugly image in the public eye as politically bigoted, misanthropic, overgrown children, incapable of following rules, norms, or even laws.
Twenty-nineteen doesn’t look to be much better. 
...As a result, the industry is doing what any group of cornered predators does, and eating each other to try to stay alive.
Thus, a piece in Forbes magazine informs the reader that:
Microsoft, the industry’s journeyman of governmental warfare, is cleverly advocating regulation of a narrow slice of potentially creepy technology: facial recognition. Apple is pointing fingers, suggesting its data-privacy stance is holier than Facebook’s and Google’s. Facebook, in a preview of how the industry will battle its adversaries, has simultaneously called for some form of regulation while darkly warning of the unintended consequences of the wrong kind...
Probably the most encouraging development listed is Apple’s turn against Facebook and Google..."

Think Obama Administration Wasn't Corrupt? Think Again | Investor's Business Daily
"Obama Scandal: Former President Obama and his political supporters have repeatedly stated that his administration was scandal-free, unlike administrations before and after.
"We're probably the first administration in modern history that hasn't had a major scandal in the White House," Obama himself said.
A new book puts the lie to that statement.
Never mind that the left-leaning big media basically ignored major scandals during the Obama years, ranging from the IRS targeting scandal and the VA's deadly waiting lists for veterans to Hillary Clinton's illegal use of an unsecured, hackable home-brew server for her official duties as secretary of state and the Fast and Furious gunwalking program.
...But now comes Peter Schweizer's new book, "Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends," which shows that the Obama administration and its cronies were up to their necks in questionable business deals and may even have intentionally distorted public policy to accommodate their own profit-making.
The book claims "Obama and his administration would deem industries either destructive to the environment or exploitative for the financial and professional gain of his friends, including industries such as coal mining, offshore drilling, cash advance companies, and for-profit colleges,"  wrote Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Examiner.
Schweizer's book, based on extensive research, says that Obama acted to regulate certain industries in such a way that the regulations lowered the value of some of the companies, wrote Katelyn Caralle of the Washington Examiner.
These actions let two family friends to profit handsomely on deals through their own investment firm.
Here's how it worked..."

Anti-Semitism & socialism: Peas in a poison pod - WND

Anti-Semitism & socialism: Peas in a poison pod - WND:

Ilhan Omar did not need to read Marx. The vile slurs she peddles have stalked Jews long before Marx dressed them up in an intellectually respectable costume of political-economy. A recent survey found anti-Semitism is rampant among Muslims. Tellingly, the most popular anti-Semitic myth in sub-Saharan Africa – Omar’s place of birth – is “Jews are more loyal to Israel than the country they live in.”
Ilhan Omar is a garden variety anti-Semite. Those who refuse to say so are being willfully ignorant. Her type is easily recognizable.
The biggest villains in the recent spectacle are not Omar and her cheerleading squad.
It’s the Democratic leaders who have let the party of Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy be hijacked by socialists and anti-Semites.
And it’s no accident the hijackers came on board together.

Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence - Imprimis:

• Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence

"Seventy miles northwest of New York City is a hospital that looks like a prison, its drab brick buildings wrapped in layers of fencing and barbed wire. 
This grim facility is called the Mid-Hudson Forensic Psychiatric Institute. 
It’s one of three places the state of New York sends the criminally mentally ill—defendants judged not guilty by reason of insanity.

Until recently, my wife Jackie­—Dr. Jacqueline Berenson—was a senior psychiatrist there. 
Many of Mid-Hudson’s 300 patients are killers and arsonists. 
At least one is a cannibal. 
Most have been diagnosed with psychotic disorders like schizophrenia that provoked them to violence against family members or strangers.

A couple of years ago, Jackie was telling me about a patient. 
In passing, she said something like, Of course he’d been smoking pot his whole life.

Of course? I said.

Yes, they all smoke.

So marijuana causes schizophrenia?

I was surprised, to say the least. 
..she offered something neutral like, I think that’s what the big studies say. 
You should read them.

So I did. 
The big studies, the little ones, and all the rest. 
I read everything I could find. 
I talked to every psychiatrist and brain scientist who would talk to me. 
And I soon realized that in all my years as a journalist I had never seen a story where the gap between insider and outsider knowledge was so great, or the stakes so high..."

The Folly of Solar Energy | Power Line

The Folly of Solar Energy | Power Line
"The late January brownout in central Minnesota, during a time of Arctic cold, showed that reliance on “green” energy can be life-threatening. 

Xcel Energy instructed customers to turn thermostats down to 60 degrees and refrain from using hot water. 

Xcel went so far as to put some customers up in hotels.

Investigation of the brownout has been informative. 

The principal problem, given that Minnesota has invested massively in wind energy, was that the wind wasn’t blowing. 

But there was another problem, too, which came out in testimony before the state’s Public Utilities Commission by an Xcel official. 

My colleague Isaac Orr explains:

During their testimony, Xcel Energy representatives stated that the company’s solar panels only produced 8 to 10 percent of their potential output because of snow cover.

Everyone understands, I suppose, that solar panels can’t produce electricity at night–which, coincidentally, is when we need to turn lights on. 
It is less well recognized that in the North, solar panels are also more or less useless during the Winter. But, you may ask, can’t they be cleared off and thus made functional?

Xcel Energy posted a profit of $1.1 billion in 2017, and you’re telling me they can’t pay a high-schooler to scrape off their solar panels for a little extra cash?

***

To me, the fact Xcel didn’t bother to clear the snow off their solar panels suggests they didn’t think it was worth it, from a cost/benefit standpoint..."

Pelosi Calls For Illegal Immigrants To Have The Right To Vote

Pelosi Calls For Illegal Immigrants To Have The Right To Vote:

House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi has let the cat out of the bag and revealed exactly what it is Democrats want to do.
Republicans have long suspected that Democrats want illegal aliens to be able to come into the nation freely in order to rig elections for the Democrats.
The Democrat Party has long argued that Republicans were conspiracy theorists and that they were only concerned with the “humanitarian crisis.”
But as Pelosi gets older it becomes tougher for her to keep her secrets and a slip of the tongue may have revealed the not so hidden truth.
