“Green” Energy Is Sinister | Power Line
"We conservatives tend to argue that “green” energy (wind and solar) is unreliable, inefficient, expensive, and virtually useless, even if we accept the climate change gospel*. 
But the truth is worse than that. 
Far from being well-intentioned, as most assume, “green” energy is the great corporate scam of our age. 
And green energy is not kind to the Earth as school children are taught. 
Rather, wind and solar are terrible for the environment.

It is time to get tough on “green” energy. 

I wrote about some of the environmental drawbacks of solar energy here. 

To perhaps an even greater degree than solar energy, wind turbines also damage the environment..."

KLAVAN: If You’re Outraged, You’re An Idiot | Daily Wire:

Outrage Culture is the Left's latest attempt to end an argument they can't win. Leftism wrecks economies and endangers America's historically unique commitment to individual liberty. Since every leftist ideal from socialism to disarming the populace is a threat to our founding ideals, and since any open debate will expose that threat, the Left spends an inordinate amount of time inventing new strategies to try to force the opposition into silence.
Political correctness is such a strategy: If you don't use our words, you're evil. Calling people racist, white nationalist, white supremacist and Hitler — another strategy: as if the only possible reason you could want to enforce the rule of law at our borders is because you don't like brown people! Pretending to take jokes seriously is yet another strategy. And so on.

Trump Isn’t the One Dividing Us by Race - WSJ
"Long before the El Paso massacre, President Trump’s political opponents accused him of sowing “division” with his “racist language.”
Mr. Trump “exploits race,” “uses race for his gain,” is engaged in a “racially divisive reprise” of his 2016 campaign, stokes “racial resentments,” and puts “race at the fore,” the New York Times has reported over the past several months.
Yet Mr. Trump rarely uses racial categories in his speech or his tweets.
It is the media and Democratic leaders who routinely characterize individuals and groups by race and issue race-based denunciations of large parts of the American polity..."

JACKSON: Blacks are abandoning the Democratic Party - Washington Times
"For more than 50 years, the black community has been the wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party.
That may be changing. 
In spite of the overwhelmingly liberal voting patterns of black voters, they are an essentially conservative community. 
Americans of African descent are more pro-life and pro-family than the average white voter and as conservative on social issues as any white evangelical.
Democrats have managed to monopolize the black vote in spite of the vast chasm between the two on social issues. 
...Democrats now have fully embraced an abortion policy that amounts to infanticide.
They have also made the lesbian-homosexual-bisexual-transgender agenda their vision for America.
How have they managed to hold on to black Christians in spite of an agenda worthy of the Antichrist?
They have shown a ruthless willingness to frighten black voters with outright lies about the plans of conservatives and Republicans.
Vice President Joseph R. Biden’s “they gonna put y’all back in chains” was not a gaffe..."

"LAWBREAKERS, LAWMAKERS:
In some parts of Chicago, violent street gangs and pols quietly trade money and favors for mutual gain.
The thugs flourish, the elected officials thrive—and you lose. 
A special report.--BY DAVID BERNSTEIN AND NOAH ISACKSON--PUBLISHED DEC. 13, 2011
A few months before last February’s citywide elections, Hal Baskin’s phone started ringing.
And ringing.
Most of the callers were candidates for Chicago City Council, seeking the kind of help Baskin was uniquely qualified to provide.
Baskin isn’t a slick campaign strategist.
He’s a former gang leader and, for several decades, a community activist who now operates a neighborhood center that aims to keep kids off the streets.
Baskin has deep contacts inside the South Side’s complex network of politicians, community organizations, and street gangs. as he recalls, the inquiring candidates wanted to know: “Who do I need to be talking to so I can get the gangs on board?”
Baskin—who was himself a candidate in the 16th Ward aldermanic race, which he would lose—was happy to oblige..."

The enforcement problems with gun-grabbing ‘red flag’ laws are even worse than you think

The enforcement problems with gun-grabbing ‘red flag’ laws are even worse than you think
"Everyone is debating “red flag” laws like they’re some new thing, but California has had variations of them for decades. 
We call them domestic violence restraining orders, civil harassment restraining orders, workplace restraining orders, elder abuse restraining orders, mental health seizures and prohibition orders, and, more recently, gun violence restraining orders.
They’re all meant to disarm dangerous people — but they’re all fundamentally flawed.
None of these red flag laws would have prevented recent mass shootings.
And in my 23 years practicing law in the heart of Silicon Valley, I have litigated dozens of these cases.
I’ve seen firsthand the practical enforcement problems that emerge in real-life cases.
These kinds of court orders are usually obtained from a judge ex parte.
That’s fancy Latin for: The judge only hears one side of the story, it is not your side, and you may not even know about it until after the fact.
Then they immediately strip you of fundamental constitutional rights for the duration of the orders.
You’ll get your “full due process” hearing, but not until later..."

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:

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.
