5 Telltale Signs That You’re a Sapiosexual | Intellectual Takeout
5 Telltale Signs That You’re a Sapiosexual | Intellectual Takeout:
My best friend and myself have discussed in the past how different we are when it comes to the women that we find attractive.
While we can usually agree on people who are conventionally beautiful, our personal tastes seem to be on entirely opposite ends of the spectrum.
- Never underestimate the sex appeal of intelligence.
My best friend and myself have discussed in the past how different we are when it comes to the women that we find attractive. While we can usually agree on people who are conventionally beautiful, our personal tastes seem to be on entirely opposite ends of the spectrum.
When it comes to finding a partner, however, there is usually one trait that sticks out for both of us, and that’s intelligence.
A beautiful mind never goes underrated.
And if you’re a sapiosexual, then you’re probably like us–you value a person’s mind over their body.

Dobson rips 'thinly veiled death sentence to 1st Amendment' - WND
Dobson rips 'thinly veiled death sentence to 1st Amendment' - WND:
Now it’s the U.S. Congress, where the House last week adopted the Equality Act.
It is nothing less than “a thinly veiled death sentence to the First Amendment to the Constitution,” James Dobson Family Institute founder James Dobson warned on Monday.
“In the history of our nation, there have been times when evil was so apparent – and so heinous – that they stand in infamy decades later. They include the Dred Scott Decision on slavery in 1857, and the Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion in 1973. Now, we are faced with another such tragic moment in American history,” he said.

Walter E. Williams---Socialism Promises a Utopia, but Delivers Suffering
Socialism Promises a Utopia, but Delivers Suffering: - Presidential contenders are in a battle to out-give one another.
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., proposes a whopping $50,000 per student college loan forgiveness. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., proposes free health care for all Americans plus illegal aliens.
Most Democratic presidential candidates promise free stuff that includes free college, universal income, “Medicare for All,” and debt forgiveness.
Their socialist predecessors made promises, too.
- “Freedom and Bread” was the slogan used by Adolf Hitler during the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) campaign against President Paul von Hindenburg.
- Hitler even promised, “In the Third Reich every German girl will find a husband.”
- Stalin promised a great socialist-Marxist society that included better food and better worker conditions.
- China’s Mao Zedong promised democratic constitutionalism and the dream that “farmers have land to till.” These, and other promises, gave Mao the broad political support he needed to win leadership of the entire country in 1949.
Socialism promises a utopia that sounds good, but those promises are never realized..."

Which Major West Coast City Is Being Overwhelmed By Rats, Drugs, Crime, Piles Of Garbage And Hordes Of Homeless People?
Which Major West Coast City Is Being Overwhelmed By Rats, Drugs, Crime, Piles Of Garbage And Hordes Of Homeless People?"Can you name the major west coast city that has become a rotting, decaying hellhole and is being completely overwhelmed by rats, drugs, crime, piles of garbage and hordes of homeless people?
Of course San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, “all of them” and “any of them” would all be correct answers, but in this article we are going to talk about Los Angeles.
Once upon a time, millions of young Americans flocked to “sunny L.A.” in order to experience “the California Dream”, but these days Los Angeles seems to be on the cutting edge of many of our most critical societal problems. L.A. has been known for Hollywood, the porn industry and world class traffic congestion, but now it is also becoming famous for “rat-infested piles of rotting garbage”…
Rat-infested piles of rotting garbage left uncollected by the city of Los Angeles, even after promises to clean it up, are fueling concerns about a new epidemic after last year’s record number of flea-borne typhus cases..." Read all.

Meadows Says Declassification Of Russia Probe Documents Is ‘Right Around The Corner’ | The Daily Caller:
North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows said important documents relating to the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign will be released soon on Monday.
The House Oversight Committee member responded to the former committee chair Trey Gowdy’s comments that the FBI possibly withheld “game-changing” evidence regarding the origins of the Russia probe. Meadows said he agreed with Gowdy that former Trump campaign associate George Papadopoulos was being taped and recorded by FBI informants and that the unreleased transcript was never released to the FISA court, in an appearance on Fox News.

Why Is Fat a Feminist Issue? | News and Politics
"In a speech on the topic of “radical fat liberation” jointly sponsored by the Women and Gender Studies Department and the Center for Equity and Inclusion (what else?) at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, the prodigiously overweight Sonalee Rashatwar, a self-proclaimed Fat Sex Therapist, compared fitness trainers to Nazis, defined child dieting as sexual assault, attributed the Christchurch shooting to ‘thin” white supremacism, and condemned science as “fataphobic” for “promoting the idea that certain bodies are fit, able and desirable.”
She wonders, rhetorically, “is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?”
She goes on to blame the Reagan administration for having refused to provide “social supports that also help me to subsidize my food costs.”
...Rashatwar, of course, is not alone in pursuing her redemptive mission.
Fat is big in the feminist Weltanschauung..."

French widow sues Boeing for $276 million over Ethiopian Airlines crash - CNN
"...Explaining how he arrived at that sum, Husain added:
"In 2018, Boeing grossed $101 billion.
When you take that figure and divide it by 365, you arrive at the figure of $276 million."
"Is one day's worth of gross receipts by Boeing severe enough to deter future behavior?
Or is it one week's worth of wages, or one month, or one year?
That's going to be for the jury to decide."
Dubois-Seex joins several lawsuits to have been filed against Boeing in the aftermath of the deadly crashes..."

Hezbollah Is Feeling The Squeeze Of Trump’s Sanctions | The Daily Caller
Hezbollah Is Feeling The Squeeze Of Trump’s Sanctions | The Daily Caller:
Hezbollah has been forced to make “draconian cuts” to its expenditures as a direct result of President Donald Trump’s 2018 sanctions on Iran, according to The Washington Post.
Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, received upwards of $700 million a year, or 70% of its revenue, from Iran in the past. But Iran’s ability to finance the Lebanese militia group has been significantly curtailed after Trump pulled out of former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal, WaPo reported on May 18.

How About Some “Adversity Points” For Hardworking Kids Of Hardworking Parents?"The latest tactic for the elite to shaft Normal Americans is the obnoxious “adversity score” that the academifascists who run the SATs plan to introduce as a way to give a fig leaf of objectivity and fairness to their screwing over of your kids in favor of the kids of people they prefer.
Do you think there is any chance, and chance at all, that these secret numbers based upon secret factors and kept secret from you will make it more likely for your children to get into one of the elite schools?Yeah, right.
If only someone had predicted this kind of social credit nightmare…

Border Patrol Official: Migrants Won't Be Sent to Florida at this Time
Border Patrol Official: Migrants Won't Be Sent to Florida at this Time:
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official said late Friday that plans to send migrant families to South Florida have been put on hold temporarily following a backlash from state lawmakers.
The development came after Broward and Palm Beach county officials said they were notified by U.S. Border Patrol that more than a 100 immigrants would be sent weekly to each of the counties starting in the next two weeks. According to NPR, the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the agency will not be “transporting any family units to Florida at this time,” but left the door open to “possibly housing and processing migrants at other U.S. Border Patrol sectors across the nation.”

Steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico dropped by Trump, jump starting trade deal in Congress - Americans for Limited Government
Steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico dropped by Trump, jump starting trade deal in Congress - Americans for Limited Government:"Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to end the steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico:
“President Trump has agreed to lift the steel and aluminum tariffs that were placed on products coming from Canada and Mexico, with those countries agreeing to lift retaliatory tariffs on products like pork and dairy in no later than 48 hours.
“The steel and aluminum tariffs were initially imposed on Canada and Mexico as a means to deal with China and other countries dumping these metals into our northern and southern bordering countries in order to flood our markets and destroy our domestic aluminum and steel industries.
...“The renegotiation of the tri-lateral trade agreement between Canada, Mexico and the United States is the lynchpin of the Trump trade agenda as it includes intellectual property and forced technology transfer language, along with currency manipulation prohibitions which will be incorporated in future trade bills with other nations..."

A Tale of Two Coups. On Brexit and Mueller
"On Brexit and Mueller:
One of reasons why elections are a good thing is that they provide a mechanism for peaceful transitions without the losers being shot or put in jail. The fact that the losers in this election appear to have attempted to undermine the winners is an extremely bad precedent because it leads to the winners deciding to take it out on the losers next time around and that in turn leads to people not relinquishing power short of being turfed out with violence – see Venezuela and any number of Latin American, Central Asian and African dictatorships.Indeed — and read the whole thing.---Posted by Stephen Green"
In fact allowing the losers to come up with one way after another to try and delegitimise an election they lost is bad on its own because the ability to “throw the bums out” is a key feature of democracy. If voters can’t trust that their votes will be respected they are likely to resort to other methods of expressing their displeasure with the current set of rulers and that is something that these rulers may come to regret. The good news is that the New AG seems to be doing his job and turning over any number of stones that various parties would have preferred remained unexamined.It is unclear to me how many of the plotters will end up in the poor house or jail – sadly I suspect most will skate – which means that the distrust of government which fired up the Tea Party and the Trump campaign is not going to dissipate.

"A burger restaurant in Danville, Illinois is facing some backlash after a customer spotted an “offensive” bumper sticker displayed on the company’s wall.
“If you can’t read this [Arabic writing], thank a Marine,” the sticker read.
...Gross tells WCIA a Marine that served in Iraq gave him the bumper sticker and it has been in his restaurant for over a decade.
“He brought it in and asked me to put it up, and I said sure go ahead and put it up and it's been there for all these years," he said.
Despite the negative feedback the sticker received, Gross’ Burgers still appears to be doing well.
Must read!-----Critical Race Theory is destroying our country
Critical Race Theory is destroying our country--By Richard Jack Rail
"Critical Race Theory holds that American society is irredeemably racist in favor of the white majority.
...Given the overarching, omnipresent racial-ethnic oppression, what matters isn't so much facts as they happened but a narrative that takes precedence if something could have happened in the given circumstance.
The idea is that the oppression makes things happen on its own because it so overwhelms everything else, and justice needs to take this into account in determining guilt.
This is how people arrive at the notion that blacks can't be racist or, indeed, guilty of much of anything.
A black can never overcome the all-dominating oppression.
It's all white people's fault.
Whites can't escape their guilt by being innocent in their own lives; they're part of the white system and therefore guilty of pretty much everything..."

Bernie Kerik: Bill de Blasio Used 'Race-Baiting' to Fuel 'Hatred' for Cops
Bernie Kerik: Bill de Blasio Used 'Race-Baiting' to Fuel 'Hatred' for Cops:
Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik told Breitbart News Daily host Alex Marlow that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, former President Barack Obama, and Obama administration alumni used “race-baiting” to incite “hatred” and “animosity” towards law enforcement, offering his analysis in a Friday interview on the SiriusXM program.
Marlow noted that police officers are “routinely demonized” across the political and news media landscapes. He invited Kerik’s comments on “the de-evolution of the way we treat our law enforcement,” given the context of National Police Week, which ends Saturday.
“It started in the last administration,” replied Kerik, “because you had people from President Obama, other people in the White House, various governors throughout the country, mayors — including the one in New York City, now, de Blasio — that created this animosity, that created this hatred, if you will.”

Breaking: Big Election Upset in Australia | Power Line
"Australia held a national election yesterday which all of the polls predicted for weeks would be won handily by the Labour Party.
The ruling Liberal Party (which is the conservative party in Australian politics because they still understand the historic meaning of liberalism) has been in office for over a decade, and had struggled as ruling parties often do when they grow stale in office.
In fact leadership fights within the Liberal Party had left it in chaos heading into the election campaign.
The pollsters and the media called it an “unlosable election” for Labour.
But in a stunning upset, the Liberal Party has won the election.
It sounds a lot like our 2016 election, no?
Apparently lots of voters told the pollsters one thing, but voted differently in the voting booth.
...The most interesting angle to this upset is that the Labour Party went all-in on climate change. Here’s how AFP covered it in the run-up to yesterday:
Australians flocked to the polls Saturday capping a bitterly fought election that may be the first anywhere decided by climate policy..."
