So Clinton has been consistent, but her argument has not aged well, to put it kindly. It turns out that while some Russian agents did try to sow discord and help Trump, she worked with other Russians to compile her phony dossier on him. Her team gave it to the FBI, which used it as an excuse to spy on Trump.
So his suspicions about the election were well founded. It was rigged against him.
The saving grace is that the Obama White House and its law-enforcement and intelligence leaders were no match for the constitutional system they tried to thwart. Their plot to make Clinton president failed.
‘MeToo’ Hysteria: Handshakes In The Workplace Could Be Next On Chopping Block | Daily Wire
"Employers seeking to avoid lawsuits in the hypersensitive age of the #MeToo movement are looking to ban even the most innocuous professional courtesies, including handshakes. Last week, Kate Palmer, associate director of advisory at human resources consultancy Peninsula and an alleged “expert” on the matter, said that employers may soon seek to ban “all forms of physical contact to avoid confusion about what kind of touch is appropriate,” according to The Sun of Britain. ...When it came to asking a woman out for a drink, about one in four young males and about 12.5% of young females said it would "always" or "usually" be a form of sexual harassment.
For reference, those polled in Sweden, Germany, and the U.K., all polled around 0% for this particular hypothetical. Additionally, about 50% of young men and woman considered a man looking at a woman's breasts to be "always" or "usually" sexual harassment."
Rapist and murderers could be set free after age 55 if ‘crazy’ bill proposed by NYC Dems passes Conservative News Today
"New York City Republicans and law enforcement officials are incensed over a proposal seeking to grant parole eligibility to older inmates who have served some prison time.
Currently imprisoned felons, including murderers and rapists, could be out on the street again if the controversial state bill passes, allowing inmates aged 55 and older who have been in prison at least 15 years to be eligible for parole.
New York City councilman Joe Borelli blasted the “elder parole” bill with its automatic eligibility during an appearance on “Fox & Friends First” Monday.
“These are not people that stole a candy bar, they’re not people that smoked a joint and got caught,” he said, contending that anyone in jail for 15 years or more has likely committed a “heinous crime” that “at 15 years prior, a judge and jury thought you deserved to be put away for almost the remainder of your life.” Murderers, rapists, child molesters and others with Class A and Class B felonies would be eligible for parole under the proposed bill, which Borelli slammed as “basically an amnesty program,” citing the issues with the New York State Parole Board..."

NYC Considering Banning HOT DOGS And Other Processed Meats Over Climate Change | Daily Wire
"New York City may be on the verge of outlawing its signature encased meat, the hot dog, alongside other "processed meats," in a bid to make New Yorkers more climate conscious.
Radio station Z100 reports that Mayor Bill de Blaiso signed into law New York's own version of the "Green New Deal" last week, and part of the NYC GND involves teaching New Yorkers to make healthy, environmentally friendly food choices by banning specific, "problematic" dishes from city menus.
"The plan," Z100 says, "will cut purchases of red meat by 50 percent in its city-controlled facilities such as hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities.
The new commitment builds off of the Meatless Mondays campaign that was adopted by all NYC schools in 2017."
New Yorkers will be able to keep their precious hot dog street carts, and tourists will still be able to fill up on dirty water dogs in Times Square — at least for now..." Read all.
Rush Limbaugh, on “The Story” on Fox News with Martha MacCallum, said it’s not President Donald Trump who has anything to worry about when it comes to the whole Russia investigation thing — it’s Hillary Clinton.
She should be in jail, Limbaugh said.
And a whole world of political watchers go — absolutely. And then, just as quickly, a whole world of political watchers go, sigh. ‘Cause it’ll never happen.
Still: For years, a handful of hard-core truth-seekers have been making the case that the collusion accusation slung Trump’s way has really been the Democrats’ way of covering their own tracks — has really been the left’s way of distracting from the fact their own party was guilty of what they were accusing.
Sally Yates -vs- Michael Flynn… | The Last Refuge "Prior to March 9th, 2016, the political surveillance and spy operations of the Obama administration were using the FBI and NSA database to track/monitor their opposition.

What’s truly frightening is how this stunning unfamiliarity with the Constitution has bred contempt. If put to a vote today, only half of those surveyed said they would vote to adopt the Constitution. Even fewer believe that Congress should follow the Constitution. So much for the rule of law.
And speaking of law, misunderstandings regarding the judicial branch are particularly acute. The Annenberg Public Policy Center’s annual surveys, for example, show that one in four Americans thinks a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling is sent to Congress. One in four also think that “it might be better to do away with the court altogether.”
George Washington said the “education of our youth in the science of government” is vital because they are “the future guardians of the liberties of the country.” Yet the National Center for State Courts found that only 1 in 5 U.S. adults can correctly name all three branches, and 2 in 5 couldn’t name a single one.

Don Surber:3. The Hill reported, "The New York Times Opinion section on Saturday apologized for a political cartoon that included anti-Semitic tropes.
"The image, published in the international print edition of Thursday’s paper, featured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a guide dog wearing a Star of David collar leading President Trump, who is wearing a [kippa] and dark glasses."
No one was fired.
Well what do you expect from a newspaper that in 1922 said of Hitler, "But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes."
Stalin wasn't the first dictator the New York Times covered up for."
Most illegal immigrants in US receive government benefits, costing taxpayers billions: experts | Fox News:
"We're talking about billions of dollars in taxpayer benefits over the next few years," said Dan Stein, director of the right-leaning think tank, Federation for American Immigration Reform. "The payout for the taxpayer is enormous and income to the Treasury is miniscule."
A FAIR study in 2017 found illegal immigrants are a net consumer of taxpayer benefits worth more than $100 billion a year, not including the cost of enforcing the border.
Mining and processing the lithium, cobalt and manganese used for batteries consume a great deal of energy... The CO2 given off to produce the electricity that powers such vehicles also needs to be factored in, they say. When all these factors are considered, each Tesla emits 156 to 180 grams of CO2 per kilometre, which is more than a comparable diesel vehicle produced by the German company Mercedes, for example. Instead the study suggests "Natural gas combustion engines are the ideal technology for transitioning to vehicles powered by hydrogen or 'green' methane in the long term."

Judicial Watch said it recently wrote about a separate law that aims to defund women’s shelters that don’t allow transgender men who self-identify as women.
“The Equality Act goes further by also stripping a woman’s right to have a person of the same sex conduct security searches on their body, supervise drug tests, handle intimate medical care and supervise children on overnight trips. This is because the language in the proposed law replaces sex with gender identity, open to the claimant’s interpretation, as a protected category.”
The bill also would threaten women’s sports.
State auditors uncover widespread childcare assistance fraud | Minnesota | watchdog.org "For several reasons, Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) is rife "with a higher risk of errors, improper payments, and fraud,” a recent state auditor’s report concluded.
...The DHS “did not implement sufficient program integrity controls for licensing child care providers,” the legislative auditor reported, and “lacked some key controls to identify errors and to inhibit, track, and recover improper payments.”
CCAP is authorized and supported through block grants from the federal Child Care and Development Fund.
In Fiscal Year 2018, 4,549 childcare providers received at least some CCAP payments to provide services to nearly 120,000 children.
Total CCAP payments to these providers were estimated at approximately $254 million..." Read on.
Hard Questions: Who Should Decide What Is Hate Speech in an Online Global Community? | Facebook Newsroom:
"As more and more communication takes place in digital form, the full range of public conversations are moving online — in groups and broadcasts, in text and video, even with emoji.
These discussions reflect the diversity of human experience: some are enlightening and informative, others are humorous and entertaining, and others still are political or religious.
Some can also be hateful and ugly.
Most responsible communications platforms and systems are now working hard to restrict this kind of hateful content.
Facebook is no exception. We are an open platform for all ideas, a place where we want to encourage self-expression, connection and sharing.

"Even before Southern California began its frantic fight against six major fires that have been raging through dry shrubland this week, 2017 was in the record books as the worst season ever for wildfires in California.
...Fires are more damaging because we keep building in harm’s way...
...Deliberate decisions and unintended consequences of urban development over decades have turned many parts of the state into a tinderbox.
This year’s blazes particularly stand out because of how close they are to suburbs and major cities.
...Californians are drawn to views of mountains, forests, and grasslands and are building ever closer to these features that often have a propensity to burn.
Building in or near fire-prone forests has also led to fire prevention land management practices that paradoxically increase fire risk.
For instance, policies for preventing wildfires have in some areas led to an accumulation of the dry vegetation that would ordinarily burn away in smaller natural blazes..." Read all.
Trump signed an order on stage during his NRA speech effectively revoking the United States’s signature on the treaty. The document, Trump said, is a “message asking the Senate to discontinue the treaty ratification process and return the now-rejected treaty right back to me in the Oval Office” where he will “dispose of it.”
“The United Nations will soon receive a formal notice that America is rejecting this treaty,” Trump told the crowd. “We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment.”
Millions of new cars are being sold without this basic feature - Clark Howard Why no spare tire? US government CAFE rules. In order to meet government requirements on fleet mileage, weight is a major component. Dump the tire to save weight... and a side benefit to save money. Screw the customer with a wonderful private/public deal.
"...If you drive a newer vehicle, AAA is urging you to check your trunk to see if it’s missing a spare tire.
According to new research from the auto club, nearlya third (28%) of 2017 model year vehicles no longer come with a spare tire as standard equipment.
Last year alone, AAA said it rescued more than 450,000 members faced with a flat tire whose cars didn’t have a spare. And many people don’t realize this until they’re stranded on the side of the road.
Why is there no spare tire in the trunk of new cars?
..Automakers are replacing spare tires with tire inflator kits that can temporarily repair small punctures in flat tires, but those kits don’t work for all tire problems, including sidewall damage and blowouts, AAA said.

In addition, inflator kits cost up to $300 per use, which is up to 10 times more than a simple tire repair, according to AAA.
