Of the 27 Deadliest Mass Shooters, 26 of Them Had One Thing in Common | Mark Meckler-FEBRUARY 20, 2018

Of the 27 Deadliest Mass Shooters, 26 of Them Had One Thing in Common | Mark Meckler
"Suzanne Venker’s recent opinion piece on FoxNews is very, very important, because she points out that almost all of the most recent deadly mass shooters have one thing in common: fatherlessness.
...Fatherlessness is a serious problem.  
America’s boys have been under stress for decades.  
It’s not toxic masculinity hurting them, it’s the fact that when they come home there are no fathers there.  
Plain and simple.  
Add that to a bunch of horrible cultural trends telling them that everything bad is good (gang culture, drugs, misogyny, etc.), and we’ve got a serious problem on our hands. 

Venker goes on to explain that of CNN’s list of the “27 Deadliest Mass Shootings In U.S. History, only one was raised by his biological father since childhood.

“Indeed, there is a direct correlation between boys who grow up with absent fathers and boys who drop out of school, who drink, who do drugs, who become delinquent and who wind up in prison,” she writes.  

“And who kill their classmates.”...

Abusing the system-----Americans Want A Shorter Leash On Emotional Support Animals On Planes

Americans Want A Shorter Leash On Emotional Support Animals On Planes
"Airline pilots and flight attendants responded furiously after an emotional support dog bit an American Airlines’ flight attendant July 22, requiring five stitches.
The flight attendant union immediately called for “action in regards to setting standards for emotional support animals.”
...The complaint appears to be that: a) it is too easy to get a doctor’s note attesting to the need for a therapy animal; under the Air Carrier Access Act, airlines are forbidden from discriminating against consumers who have documented disabilities.
Getting this ESA letter is as easy as going online, filling out a questionnaire, chatting over the phone with a therapist, and then waiting for your letter; b) there are too many types of animals that are allowed; and c) the animals are not always trained to handle commercial airplane flights in the same way as service animals (e.g. guide dog for a blind person).
...However, 72% of these respondents agree that some people pretend that their pets are ESAs in order to avoid the usual pet carrier fee of $150 or more, and 46% agree that it is too easy to get a doctor’s note for an ESA..."

PRAGER: How To Tell If A Trump Supporter Is Racist | Daily Wire

PRAGER: How To Tell If A Trump Supporter Is Racist | Daily Wire:

Leftists don't only label the half of the country that supports the president "racist," they label all whites and America itself "racist." If your son or daughter attends or recently attended an American university, it is close to certain he or she was repeatedly told that America and all whites are racist. According to the left, whites are divided between those who admit they are racist and those who don't admit it.
Every conservative and many liberals know this is a big lie. The great question is: Do leftists believe it? It is impossible to know. But this we do know: If you repeat something often enough, and if your Weltanschauung (worldview) and that which gives your life meaning are dependent upon believing something, you will eventually believe it.
So here is a way to show it is a lie.
Ask any white conservative, including one who supports Trump, the following three questions:

Is This the Strategy Behind Austin's Mad Homeless Camping Policy? | Trending
"Austin, Texas, is routinely cited as one of the best cities in America to live.

Er, that's not going to last — not if its homeless camping policy continues.

To recap: On June 20 the Austin City Council repealed ordinances prohibiting homeless camping around town. 

...The policy went into effect in a political blink on July 1. 

That very day, tent cities began popping up all over town. 

Those tent cities grew...

...Mayor Steve Adler even went to Los Angeles and Seattle to "learn" how to fail more emphatically. 

But what if "failure" is the point?

Since my last article on this subject, a theory to explain the policy change has swept across Austin...

Back to the theory. 

Mayor Steve Adler wants to expand the convention center, and wants to pass bonds (debt) to pay for it. 
He also wants to spend a bazillion dollars on pet social projects including for the homeless. The convention center is popular with the business set. 
The social spending, not so much. 
That's usually money thrown down a hole, or into liberal groups and slush funds. 
So the theory is he wants to bundle the convention center spending in with the homeless spending, and he's using the horrible homeless camping policy to inflict enough pain on the city to create space for him to attach them so they both get both passed.

The theory has a lot of moving parts.

...He pleaded for a $30 million annual homeless budget, and a permanent "homelessness czar," to work on homelessness. 
Such a staggering sum would never have passed had homelessness not become such a raw nerve issue as it has since July 1. 

It is the issue in Austin right now..."

Democrats just purged white party staffers, and it's a bigger deal than anyone wants to admit

Democrats just purged white party staffers, and it's a bigger deal than anyone wants to admit:

Nobody wants to see whites take up identity politics or demand a certain quota of jobs anywhere. But that isn't what this was about. This is about an organization that fires people from their current jobs because of their skin color. The insinuation that racist influences led Bustos to choose her staff and pass over better nonwhite candidates marks a continuation of what New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez started when she absurdly accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of racism and sexism.

"The ban on DDT may have killed 20 million children."--DDT-Malaria - National Geographic Magazine

Malaria - National Geographic Magazine
"...But it was also clear that the campaign was far too ambitious. 
In much of the deep tropics malaria persisted stubbornly. 
Financing for the effort eventually withered, and the eradication program was abandoned in 1969. 
In many nations, this coincided with a decrease in foreign aid, with political instability and burgeoning poverty, and with overburdened public health services.
In several places where malaria had been on the brink of extinction, including both Sri Lanka and India, the disease came roaring back. 
...Soon after the program collapsed, mosquito control lost access to its crucial tool, DDT. The problem was overuse—not by malaria fighters but by farmers, especially cotton growers, trying to protect their crops. 
The spray was so cheap that many times the necessary doses were sometimes applied. The insecticide accumulated in the soil and tainted watercourses. 
Though nontoxic to humans, DDT harmed peregrine falcons, sea lions, and salmon. 
In 1962 Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, documenting this abuse and painting so damning a picture that the chemical was eventually outlawed by most of the world for agricultural use. 
Exceptions were made for malaria control, but DDT became nearly impossible to procure. "The ban on DDT," says Gwadz of the National Institutes of Health, "may have killed 20 million children."...

The Creepy Normalization of Bulverism | Intellectual Takeout

The Creepy Normalization of Bulverism | Intellectual Takeout
"At some point you’ve probably heard an opinion of yours about morality, religion, or politics summarily dismissed with a reaction like: “You only say that because you’re a _____!” or “That’s just an excuse for _______.”
Frustrating, isn’t it?
If you’ve supplied reasons for your position, they don’t tackle those reasons.
...What many might not realize, however, is that this action is a fallacy known as Bulverism.
The name was coined by C.S. Lewis in an essay included in his widely read collection God in the Dock.
In essence, Bulverism is a toxic hybrid of two better-known fallacies: petitio principii (begging the question) and ad hominem (impugning one’s opponent’s character without addressing his argument).
For reasons that should alarm critical thinkers, Bulverism has become so common – especially in politics – as to approach the status of a rhetorical norm.
I shall explain that shortly, but first a caveat.
Not every criticism that sounds like Bulverism is a fallacy..."

On Tuesday, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit on behalf of a conservative political consulting firm, warning that an Ann Arbor non-discrimination law would force that firm to parrot liberal messages and help Democrats get elected.
If they refuse, they could get hit with fines of $500 per day.

Innovative New Process Converts Vegetables Into Meat By Feeding Them To Cows | The Babylon Bee

Innovative New Process Converts Vegetables Into Meat By Feeding Them To Cows | The Babylon Bee
"U.S.—Look out, Beyond Meat -- a new competitor has emerged in the market of turning vegetables into a food that tastes just like meat. 
But while companies like Beyond Meat use laboratories to turn vegetables into something tasty, this new process uses a much more natural method: feeding the vegetables to a cow.
The startup, which goes by the much simpler brand name of “Meat,” came upon this process after using hundreds of millions of venture capital dollars to research how to turn vegetable products into something delicious that could be used as a burger.
“Vegetables are ugly and horrible, and no one likes them,” said Meat researcher Winston Sullivan.
“We tried everything to make them edible, but nothing worked -- except maybe covering them in ranch dressing.
But then we saw this creature, a cow, was eating the vegetables -- because it was so dumb and didn’t know any better or something -- and somehow afterward it became filled with tasty meat.
It was amazing.”...

"San Francisco area juries have awarded cancer patients some $80 million each, based on claims that the active ingredient in Roundup weedkiller, caused their cancer – and that Bayer-Monsanto negligently or deliberately failed to advise consumers that the glyphosate it manufactures is (allegedly) carcinogenic.
...Meanwhile, ubiquitous ads are still trolling for new clients, saying anyone who ever used Roundup and now has Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or other cancer could be the next jackpot justice winner.
Mass tort plaintiff law firms have lined up 18,500 additional “corporate victims” for glyphosate litigation alone.
...Health Canada, noted that “no pesticide regulatory authority in the world considers glyphosate to be a cancer risk to humans at the levels at which humans are currently exposed.”
...Jackpot-justice law firms and their anti-chemical activist allies are already targeting cereals that have “detectable” levels of glyphosate: a few parts per billion or trillion, where 1 ppt is equivalent to 1 second in 32,000 years.
Talc and benzene – foundations for numerous consumer products – are already under attack. Advanced technology neonicotinoid pesticides could be next.
It’s all part of a coordinated, well-funded attack on America, free enterprise and technology, using social media, litigation, intimidation, and confrontation.

Changing Vocabulary, Fascist Thought - Victory Girls Blog
"The left has warped and twisted our vocabulary so that anything their political opposition says is automatically unacceptable and wrong.

According to the communist rag Salon, telling someone to “go back” is now racist.
A white person can no longer just be successful as a result of his or her hard work. 
Their achievement is necessarily harmful to minorities, is the consequence of privilege, and can hardly be called achievement.
The word “infest” is also racist, according to the screeching liberal ass goblins.

“This talk of infestation is telling, because he only seems to apply it to issues concerning black and brown people,” wrote Charles M. Blow in the New York Times.

Please remember that the words “man” and “woman” no longer mean… well… “man” and “woman.” 
Men can now menstruate, according to the social justice vermin, and dammit, the box that contains tampons is too girly for said “men!” 
How long before our society forgets the difference between male and female genitalia and some ignorant kid winds up in the hospital because he stuck a tampon too far up his bum and couldn’t get it out?
