SUNY Women's Studies Staffer: Milking Cows Is 'Sexual Assault' | Breitbart
"A new research paper published last week by a staff member of the women’s studies department at SUNY Brockport makes the case that the dairy industry’s production process involves the “rape” and “sexual assault” of cows.

According to a report by Campus Reform, a staff member of the women’s studies department at The College at Brockport, State University of New York argued in a recently published academic journal article that the production of milk on farms is akin to “rape” and “sexual assault.

The research article’s author, Mackenzie April, is in charge of social media for the women’s studies department at the college..."

Google Employees Compare Enforcing U.S. Immigration Law to the Holocaust | Breitbart:

Google employees are calling on the tech giant to ban the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and other law enforcement entities including ICE, from accessing the Google Cloud Platform. The Google staffers — who are urging other tech companies to join them in hindering cloud access for law enforcement agencies — claim that U.S. law enforcement has been “terrorizing” immigrants, and compared providing its services to “IBM’s role working with the Nazis during the Holocaust.”

Clinton IT Aide Who Defied Subpoena Says He Created A Cryptic Gmail Account And Sent It Nearly All Of Hillary’s Emails | The Daily Caller

Clinton IT Aide Who Defied Subpoena Says He Created A Cryptic Gmail Account And Sent It Nearly All Of Hillary’s Emails | The Daily Caller

• All but four of Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails were copied, likely secretly, to a Gmail address called CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com, according to a new Senate report.
• The FBI says that the account was linked to Paul Combetta, an IT aide Clinton hired who used BleachBit to destroy emails after they were subpoenaed and misled FBI agents.
• Combetta said he sent all of her emails to the Gmail account as part of trying to copy them to a new server. Combetta was copying Clinton’s emails off of an old laptop that he was supposed send back in the mail, but there’s no evidence he returned it, according to the Department of Justice Inspector General.
• When an intel agent discovered the copying to a third-party account, he said Peter Strzok seemed uninterested. The intel agency feared the email account could be a link to a foreign power, but the FBI refused to explain it to them.

Virtually every single one of Hillary Clinton’s emails were sent, potentially secretly, to a cryptically named Gmail address, according to a new Senate report.

The finding, which has not been previously reported, means that Clinton’s emails, including classified ones and ones which were later deleted, likely existed on Google’s U.S.-based servers. The FBI said in the report that it knew this — and of the suspicious explanation for it — but did not alert other intelligence agencies or the public, according to the report..."

HEH: “Sometimes people ask me how I, as a member of the very liberal newspaper industry, came to be a conservative. The answer is that I’ve been around liberals enough to know that we don’t want them running —— well, anything.”

Plus:

Thankfully, while these guilt trips used to work on me, no longer. Their white guilt is their problem, not mine. They can grovel in their self-hatred and parade their bleeding hearts all day in a futile effort at redemption. But when I left New England, I left that crap behind.

Why am I a conservative? Because I know liberals. There is no grace there. No love there. Only hatred and judgment and pettiness. I joined the St. George’s Facebook page hoping to find old high school classmates. Instead all I found was high school.

Open letter to all who compare Trump to Hitler - WND

Open letter to all who compare Trump to Hitler - WND:

These attacks are occurring during a time when Democrat politicians and media personalities are continually comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, ICE officers to Nazi guards and border detention facilities to “concentration camps” where children are “locked in cages” and forced to “drink from toilets.”
Which raises a big question currently being debated: To what extent is such dishonest, defamatory – and frankly insane – rhetoric responsible for the ensuing violence that often occurs?
After the San Antonio attack, ICE spokesperson Nina Pruneda said this:

"...MSU Facilities Manager Sheena Ballbach laid out the no-nos and the replacement terms for Service Center employees at a mandatory training on “Inclusive & Culturally Sensitive Service to Residents & Guests” this month.
Some of them are predictable on a college campus: Don’t misgender people (ask for names). Don’t use gendered terms such as “sir” and “ma’am.”
Call individuals “they,” regardless of grammar.
...Eduardo Olivo, assistant director of diversity, equity, and inclusion, promoted MSU’s official ideology in a different presentation:
“We all know” the gender binary is a “social construction,” students from “minoritized communities” are “victims of oppression systems” and feel “powerless,” and black people are “considered a threat” because of their skin color..."

The Grim Consequences Of Democratic Socialism - Daniel J. Mitchell

The Grim Consequences Of Democratic Socialism - Daniel J. Mitchell
"It’s difficult to be optimistic about some parts of the world.
When I look at Greece and Italy, for instance, I can’t help but think that economic renaissance is very unlikely, in part because of demographics, but even more so because voters have been conditioned to think that they have a right to live off the government.
This dependency mindset shows that societal capital has eroded, and it’s why I fear those nations have passed a tipping point.
Another example is Argentina. 
The Wall Street Journal‘s editorial page is very discouraged that the Peronists may return to power in that country.
Does Argentina have a death wish? 
...P.S. One external reason for Argentina’s awful performance is that it keeps getting rewarded for bad policy with IMF bailouts..."

Teacher to Parent - Students need encouragement to deal with issues, not mental health days during the school year | Opinion | moultrienews.com
"Q: Oregon schools are now allowing kids to take five mental health days each school year. 
It was pushed by a group of high school students who want to lower Oregon’s very high teen suicide rate and incidences of mental illness.
Should other states or districts follow suit?
“Students request less school” is hardly a headline that would have garnered attention in previous generations, but in today’s culture where the “wisdom” of youth is revered with almost religious fervor, apparently it demands a serious looking into..."

Red Flag Laws & Mass Shootings: Wrong Solution | National Review

Red Flag Laws & Mass Shootings: Wrong Solution | National Review:

Depending upon the state, anyone from a family member, intimate partner, or ex to house- or apartment-mates or a police officer can file a complaint. Under Colorado’s recent law, anyone at all can make a phone call to the police. They don’t even have to be living in the state. There is no hearing. All the judge has before him is the statement of concern.
While Trump emphasized mental health in last week’s speech about the Texas and Ohio shootings, red-flag laws are not specifically about mental illness. Indeed, only one state law even mentions the term. It’s about figuring out who is going to commit a crime (or suicide). This is the realm of science fiction, and is the theme of the Tom Cruise movie Minority Report. At least the Future Crime division in the movie had the help of psychics.

Project Veritas - Google Whistleblower Goes Public: 'I Saw Something Dark and Nefarious Going On' | Breitbart:

A Google whistleblower has gone public with claims of election manipulation and political bias, according to investigative journalism group Project Veritas, which posted a trove of over 950 documents provided by Google insider Zachary Vorhies, who says he has come forward because he “saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company and I realized that they were going to not only tamper with the elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States.”

Missing the Point of Gun Ownership

Missing the Point of Gun Ownership
"If there were ever a survey asking gun owners why they buy guns, I’d wager the majority of them would say that it basically is for protection. 
The Second Amendment was not written for hunters but for the people’s self-protection, including protection from tyranny. 
The first thing smart dictators do is remove guns from registered owners.

While the media and the left pontificate about the evil of guns used in recent mass shootings, Senator Lindsey Graham told the blatant truth when asked about why he owned an AR-15.  
His comments were reported in an article by Hunter Lovell in the Washington Examiner:

The South Carolina senator made the comments to reporters aboard Air Force One that he maintains an AR-15 in case "there's a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything."

His remarks were first revealed by Voice of America on Twitter. A reporter then asked him to clarify if he meant the semiautomatic rifle was for looters.

"Yeah, people, they’re not going to come to the AR-15 home," Graham responded. "Well, I think if you show up on the porch with an AR-15, they’ll probably go down the street."

One of the survivors of the awful El Paso massacre, Christopher Grant, a black man, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that he was surprised his mother didn’t have her gun with her : “I ran towards my mother to try and shield her. And I’m like ‘mom.’ Cause my mom is a gun-wielding grandma. She carries a snub-nose Smith and Wesson, 38 special with a built in scope in it — everywhere she goes.”

This was probably not something CNN wanted to report while visiting survivors in hospital. Why did this black woman carry a gun? For protection, of course.

It still has not occurred to the Left that gun laws only impact the law-abiding..."

Canadian Health Care Refused to Pay for Disabled Father's Care, but Happily Paid for His Assisted Suicide | Trending

Canadian Health Care Refused to Pay for Disabled Father's Care, but Happily Paid for His Assisted Suicide | Trending
"...tragic story of a disabled Canadian father who chose to end his own life, leaving behind an 11-year-old son. 
...I'm not the one living under Canada's health care system that was more than happy to pay for my suicide but not the care I needed. 
So, yes, I disagree with Tagert's "choice" and mourn the loss of his life, but I blame Canada and their "touted" socialized medicine.

According to a story published by CBC, Tagert died on Tuesday, August 6. 
A Facebook post linked to in the article provides the sad details that led to his decision:

...The post goes on to point the finger in the direction of the government and the mandated health care:

Ensuring consistent care was a constant struggle and source of stress for Sean as a patient. ...gaining the 24-hour care he required was extremely difficult, especially as the provincial government refused to fully fund home care....

According to CBC:

Vancouver Coastal Health offered him 15.5 hours of home care under the Choice in Supports for Independent Living program but not the 24-hour care he needed...

A single-payer health care system will always sink to the lowest common denominator, removing choice. If death is more efficient for the system, than death it will be..."
