Duane Mellema, head of the North Suburban Association of Chiefs of Police, said the chiefs voted unanimously to declare they had “no confidence” in Foxx, reported The Chicago Sun-Times. His organization represents more than 30 departments.

How they cheat. And why it's worse than ever!

"The good old corruption was better, when rich people would buy their kids’ entry into the Ivy League by donating a new building, or funding a scholarship for the kids of families without means. 
Sure, there was corruption involved, but there was also a public good derived from it.

The new corruption is just payoffs, because our new elites can’t be bothered to mask their bad habits with public displays of worthiness.

Sad."

Al Sharpton Enjoying his Role as Democratic Kingmaker
"Democrats running for president in 2020 swarmed New York City this week to speak at a convention hosted by Al Sharpton's National Action Network. 
Sharpton denies his kingmaker role, telling reporters, “Don’t let them say you came here to kiss the ring, ‘cause I don’t wear a ring."

That may be true. 

In fact, Sharpton is more like a mob boss, demanding fealty and tribute from his capo underlings. 
More to the point, the Democratic candidates speaking before the NAN activists tried to out-radical each other. 

Several offered mea culpas for past racial indiscretions.

DOJ Hits Back At New York Times And Washington Post Stories On Mueller Report | The Daily Caller:

The Justice Department explained why it did not release summaries included in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report after reports surfaced that his investigators felt Attorney General Bill Barr mischaracterized their findings.
“Every page of the ‘confidential report’ provided to Attorney General Barr on March 22, 2019, was marked ‘May Contain Material Protected Under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)’ — a law that protects confidential grand jury information — and therefore could not be publicly released,” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

Never Grow Up! Socialism as Adult Temper Tantrum | Global Liberty Media - The Counter Narrative

Never Grow Up! Socialism as Adult Temper Tantrum | Global Liberty Media - The Counter Narrative
"When you are a toddler, all you have to do is point.  
Then your mother or father reach over, grab the object you are pointing at, and give it to you.  
If you point at a food item, one of them will put it into your mouth.  
The spoonful of pudding comes right at your mouth, you open up, and voila!  
You have a mouthful of delicious pudding. 
You live in a world of near-instant gratification.
As you grow older, you learn to annoy your parents by asking Why? 
How? 
Where? 
What? 
When?
...The child psychologist Piaget noticed that young children begin to think they cause things to happen.  
This is logical, since this is what happens to toddlers every day. 
You want it?  
You got it!
Piaget wrote that children can believe that waving their hands causes the wind.  
He called this “magical thinking.”  
He argued that this comes from experiencing yourself as the center of the universe.  
Of course, from a baby’s point of view, he IS the center of his universe.  
All things come to baby.
In the normal course of growing up, you learn that you are not the center of the universe.  
You no longer get everything you want immediately.  
Then you get frustrated and demand to be the center of the universe again. 
How?  
With a temper tantrum.
...Socialist thinking is toddler magical thinking.  
Socialist thinking is ‘never grow up’ thinking.  
Socialist thinking is ‘I’m the center of the universe’ thinking. 
Of course, this is cleverly disguised as ‘I only want Socialism so that poor people can get free stuff! Social Justice!’  
How?  
Magic!..."

Feminist professor reportedly forbids pro-life project, encourages students to masturbate - The College Fix

Feminist professor reportedly forbids pro-life project, encourages students to masturbate - The College Fix:
"A feminist professor at a public university purportedly denied students the opportunity to do a pro-life project while openly supporting abortion and encouraging sexual behaviors like masturbation.

Lillian Carter, an associate professor at Towson University...
...Within the first few weeks of the course, students were required to present a list of things that sexually arouse them. 
That assignment was done anonymously, the student told The Fix, though the lists of turn-ons “were collected and re-distributed in the class” and subsequently read by students.

...Topics covered through the semester include pornography, masturbation, arousal, sexual orientation and “comparing animal sexual behavior to human sexual behavior,” according to the syllabus, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.

Carter also allegedly instructed students to draw themselves naked..."

Where were the protests during Obama's years?

Where were the protests during Obama's years?:

Somehow, Democrats support states’ rights when sanctuary cities and states willingly ignore laws Congress passed, but do not believe in states’ rights when a state like North Carolina passes a law to go against a dictatorial edict.
President Obama and other Democrats talked tough on illegal immigration, called the situation at the border a crisis, passed laws funding border barriers, separated children from parents at the border -- and journalists and immigration groups rarely protested. Obama and other Democrats were not repeatedly called racists and xenophobes.
Illegal aliens in custody also died at the same rate during Obama’s eight years as during Trump’s first two years -- and there was no outcry or protests. The media did not blame Obama for the deaths.
Therefore, it is obvious that the attacks on Trump are purely political.

Professor: Forced Charity Isn’t Charity — Even For Special Olympics – Michigan Capitol Confidential:

• Hillsdale’s Gary Wolfram says it’s unjust for government to redistribute income from regular people to charities

Forced charity is not charity, even when it’s done by the federal government. 
That’s the view of a Hillsdale College economics professor weighing in on a Trump administration decision (since rescinded) to cut federal payments to the nonprofit governing body of Special Olympics.
...Wolfram added: “I suspect that few Americans would recognize that taking from some folks through taxes to give to the Special Olympics is not charity.
Nor has our public school system taught people about how charity fulfilled the needs of the indigent prior to the New Deal and the Great Society.”...

BookGate expands. Another $100K in Baltimore Mayor's pockets

BookGate expands. Another $100K in Baltimore Mayor's pockets
"Another day, another rock kicked over, and another pile of apparent corruption is unearthed in Baltimore, Maryland. 
This time, a prominent businessman in Charm City has just now “remembered” that he donated $100,000 to then-mayoral candidate Catherine Pugh’s Healthy Holly book company in 2016. 
In exchange for this, he received one copy of the book. (Baltimore Sun)

Columbia businessman J.P. Grant on Wednesday said his company cut a check for $100,000 to then-Baltimore mayoral nominee Catherine Pugh’s Healthy Holly LLC in October 2016. He said he received a copy of one book but no documentation of how his money would be used…

Grant described the payment in an interview, saying, “I want to be honest.”

Grant said he had forgotten about the arrangement until Friday, when he had an assistant check the records of the financial company he runs, Grant Capital Management. He said he subsequently recalled meeting with Pugh and agreeing to pay $100,000 to support what she had described as an effort to distribute the books to schoolchildren.

That means we’re now at a total of $800K going into the Mayor’s book company. 

How much longer until we reach the one million mark? 

It’s too soon to say..."

Heartburn Gave My Dad Cancer. What About the Rest of Us?

Esophageal cancer related to chronic acid reflux is among the fastest-growing cancers in the U.S. Diet and weight are likely culprits, but what else?

"...As I approach the age at which my father died, I fear the thing that got him will get me. 
That’s because I, too, suffer from acid reflux — and so do many other Americans.
...he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. 

As a last-ditch effort, my father enrolled in a Phase I clinical trial...
...Three months later, he was dead. He was 62.

...The doctors attributed his cancer — adenocarcinoma, which usually occurs in the lower portion of the esophagus — to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — basically, chronic heartburn. but starting in 1997, American esophageal cancer patients, on average, became much more likely to be diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, which is associated with GERD. 
In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute, esophageal adenocarcinoma is one of the fastest-growing cancers in the country. 
In 1973, just 3 people in a million had adenocarcinoma in the U.S. 
In 2014, that rate was 26 people per million, representing an increase of more than 600 percent..."

Mohawked lib brags about yelling, chasing elderly man in MAGA hat out of Starbucks, but karma arrives swifty Conservative News Today

"...in a Palo Alto, Calif., Starbucks, where a woman with an affinity for Mohawks took to Facebook to boast about confronting an elderly man wearing a MAGA hat.
...Calling the man a “freak,” the post under the account Parker Mankey declared that he “will never forget me and will think seriously about wearing that hat in my town ever again.”
“I yelled at him. 

Called the entire Starbucks to order and yelled at him more about how it is not ok to hate brown people,” she said. 

“He threatened to call the cops. I left after yelling at him some more.”
Mankey, a progressive Democrat, explained that she verbally attacked the elderly man a second time
“I went back in and yelled that I had changed my mind and wanted him to call the police because I wanted to know his name, where he lived, his wife’s name, and where his kids went to school,” the Facebook post claimed.
"If you ignore Nazis, they will not go away. We need to fight them."—Parker Mankey, self-described "punk rock soccer mom" from Palo Alto #SF pic.twitter.com/SYlYJfbEhC
She also said she called on other white people to denounce the man, explaining that it was their “duty.”
But, alas, no one joined in on the lunatic tongue-lashing, to the dismay of the liberal.
The account appears to have been taken down, but here is a screen shot of the post:

And to be clear, Mankey was out to doxx the man.


In the end, it was Mankey would found herself unemployed because of her antics.
She was an accountant for Gryphon Stringed Instruments, a music store that has been in Ventura for more than 40 years, according to Palo Alto Online.
The company posted the following message on it’s Facebook page on Tuesday:
“With regard to the aforementioned incident on 4/1/19; the employee in question has been terminated. 

Gryphon does not believe anyone should be harassed or subject to hate speech no matter their beliefs.”

"Anthony Banbury, an american and a former assistant U.N. secretary general, wrote an op-ed for NY Times explaining why he resigned his job....
“If you locked a team of evil geniuses in a laboratory, they could not design a bureaucracy so maddeningly complex, requiring so much effort but in the end incapable of delivering the intended result. 

The system is a black hole into which disappear countless tax dollars and human aspirations, never to be seen again.”
Bret Stephens, a columnist at NY Times wrote that: 

“The U.N. adopted what were supposed to be landmark reforms more than a decade ago. 

Yet the mismanagement, corruption, abuses and moral perversities remain. 

• Iran sits on the executive board of the Commission on the Status of Women. 
• The Syrian regime is represented on the U.N.’s Special Committee on Decolonization, dedicated to “respect for self-determination of all peoples.” 
• In October, Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe was named a good-will ambassador by the World Health Organization, until an outcry forced the director general to think better of it.”..."

Firms Tied To Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele Were Paid $3.8 Million By Soros-Backed Group | The Daily Caller:

A nonprofit group partially funded by billionaire activist George Soros paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and dossier author Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017 to provide research and analysis to “government entities,” according to IRS filings.
The payments made by The Democracy Integrity Project are more than three times what the DNC and the Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS and Steele during the 2016 presidential campaign to investigate Donald Trump’s possible ties to Russia.

Dems Have Vastly More to Fear from Full Mueller Report than GOP (UPDATED) | Roger L. Simon

Dems Have Vastly More to Fear from Full Mueller Report than GOP (UPDATED) | Roger L. Simon
"Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler is huffing and puffing away about his committee's subpoena-in-waiting lest Attorney General William Barr not be sufficiently forthcoming about the details of the Mueller Report.

“But if we cannot reach an accommodation, then we will have no choice but to issue subpoenas for these materials,” Nadler warned. "And if the department still refuses, then it should be up to a judge — not the president or his political appointee — to decide whether or not it is appropriate for the committee to review the complete record.”

Methinks the chairman doth protest too much. 

In other words, it's all a charade for the faithful. 

He doesn't really want to do anything. 
Likely Nadler is secretly praying Barr redacts the whole damn thing or ties things up in the courts for long enough for the investigation to disappear at least somewhat down the memory hole.

...No, the Republicans have little to fear. 
As Chairman Mao would put it, let a hundred Mueller reports bloom.

UPDATE: I see the NYTimes has made its latest salvo against Trump in re: Mueller. 

As almost always with the paper, the article relies on anonymous sources, just as did in its now discredited Pulitzer Prize reporting on the subject. 

At question of course is whether Trump "obstructed" justice in a crime it is now admitted never happened. 

The Kafkaesque nature of this accusation is obvious. 

It's hard to imagine Donald Trump, of all people, as Joseph K., but those are times in which we live.  

Remember Trump complaining loudly a couple of years ago that he was "wiretapped" and the media uniformly dismissing him as paranoid? 

Kafka indeed."
