Barack Obama Barred A Member Of The Israeli Knesset From Visiting US In 2012 | The Daily Caller:

Critics called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s move to bar two freshman Democratic congresswomen from entering Israel “unprecedented” — but just seven years ago, former President Barack Obama barred a member of the Israeli Knesset from entering the U.S.
When news broke that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not allow freshman Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, pundits and political figures alike were quick to voice their criticisms.

8 Frightening Characteristics of Propaganda | Intellectual Takeout

8 Frightening Characteristics of Propaganda | Intellectual Takeout
"Jacques Ellul’s Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes (1965) has been called “a far more frightening work than any of the nightmare novels of George Orwell.” 
In it, the French philosopher and sociologist dispels some of the popular notions about propaganda and exposes how it really operates in the modern world.

In the first chapter of the book, Ellul describes some of the characteristics of modern propaganda.
Eight of them appear below:

...2) It Focuses on the Mass

“...The most favorable moment to seize a man and influence him is when he is alone in the mass: it is at this point that propaganda can be most effective.”

3) It is “Total”

“Propaganda must be total...

4) It Takes Over Education

“Education and training are inevitably taken over, as the Napoleonic Empire demonstrated for the first time...

6) It Must be Subtle at First

“Direct propaganda, aimed at modifying opinions and attitudes, must be preceded by propaganda that is sociological in character, slow, general, seeking to create a climate, an atmosphere of favorable preliminary attitudes…

7) It Must be Nonstop

“[Propaganda] must fill the citizen’s whole day and all his days… 

8) It Aims at Irrational Action

“The aim of modern propaganda is no longer to modify ideas, but to provoke action...

Does this sound like anyone’s playbook today?"

The Climate is Always Changing...----THE DAILY GLOBAL WARMING HOAX REPORT

THE DAILY GLOBAL WARMING HOAX REPORT--Pete Fiske

"The Climate is Always Changing...

For the past half-century, the extent to which the planet is warming or cooling, and its causes, have become matters of scientific and political debate. 
For much of that time, the debate was not about global warming, but global cooling.

The modern era of instrument-derived record keeping goes back only about 150 years, to the 1880s. 
Satellite data go back only about 40 years. 
That means we don’t have a true baseline of global data that pre-dates the Industrial Revolution.

But from the data we do have, we can draw a few conclusions. 
From the 1880s until about 1910, the data suggest that the earth was cooling. 
Then, from about 1910 until about 1940, the earth seemed to be warming. From 1940 until about 1975 came another cooling trend.

...In 1974 Time magazine published “Another Ice Age?” 
It looked at the data from the “cooling period” of the previous 25 years and arrived at a similar conclusion."

Can the case of my husband, Steve Stockman, be an alarm for Americans who love the Constitution?
The former two-time congressman endured a four-year investigation with four grand juries, followed by an indictment and conviction by our own Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service. He is now serving a 10-year prison sentence.

The Return of Jackpot Justice | RealClearPolicy
"Recently, RealClear held a dinner discussion on the issue of Jackpot Justice — a big problem of the 90’s, which, we thought, had been addressed.

• News Alert: A recent Texas decision just might bring back this practice of seeking whopping judgments unconnected to the cost of actual damages, or an underlying crime, or negligence.

...What I call the “magic jurisdiction,” . . . [is] where the judiciary is elected with verdict money.
The trial lawyers have established relationships with the judges that are elected; they’re State Court judges; they’re populists.
They’ve got large populations of voters who are in on the deal, they’re getting their piece in many cases.
And so, it’s a political force in their jurisdiction, and it’s almost impossible to get a fair trial if you’re a defendant in some of these places. 
The plaintiff lawyer walks in there and writes the number on the blackboard, and the first juror meets the last one coming out the door with that amount of money. . .
The cases are not won in the courtroom.
They’re won on the back roads long before the case goes to trial. 
...After hearing about this new case, we have public reason for concern..."

GOP wins crushing victory in 2 Special Elections (PA & SC).

GOP wins crushing victory in 2 Special Elections (PA & SC).
"Remember in 2017-2018 when the media hyped every special election as a disaster for the GOP. Remember when certain Freepers would post "THE SKY IS FALLING" on every special election?
Well...
The GOP won two state legislative special elections tonight by crushing margins:

• Republican David Rowe Defeated Democrat Jennifer Rager-Kay in the 85th Legislative District in Pennsylvania by a 62.62%-37.38% Margin. This is a R+18 seat, and Rowe won by 25 points.
• Republican Patrick Haddon defeated Democrat Carrie Counton 60.99% - 39.01% in South Carolina Legislative District 19. This is a R+13 seat, and Haddon won by 21 points.

While these are both GOP holds, in both of these elections, the GOP massively overperformed the partisan voting index for these seats.
The media will not even mention these wins."

How has nuclear power changed since Chernobyl?

How has nuclear power changed since Chernobyl?
"...It is necessary to acknowledge that while some riskswill always be there, nuclear power is actually safer than ever, and importantly, it could help curb our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels.
To learn more about this funky world of radioactive physics, we’re going to answer some questions about how our nuclear landscape has changed since 1986 (I’d say spoiler alert, but that’s not really applicable to historical events that happened decades ago). 

• How much nuclear energy do we use today?

As of July 2019, 416 nuclear reactors are operating in 34 countries, and they’re producing about 10.3% of the world’s electricity. 
That’s a marked drop from their peak share of 17.5% of worldwide electricity in 1996...

'This is satanic': Limbaugh explodes on dark, new strategy to defeat Trump - WND

'This is satanic': Limbaugh explodes on dark, new strategy to defeat Trump - WND:

The most powerful forces in American news media are in a desperate “panic” because of Donald Trump, and have new unleashed a “satanic” strategy to make sure the president is not re-elected in 2020, says talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh.
On his Tuesday broadcast, the popular political analyst unleashed a scathing attack on the New York Times and Washington Post, saying the rest of the national media would follow like puppy dogs with the new claim that the true founding of the U.S. came not in 1776, but in 1619 when the first African slaves intended for sale were brought to Virginia.

Why thousands of Americans come together to hear Trump speak

Why thousands of Americans come together to hear Trump speak
"Listen up, Trumpophobes.
It’s not so hard to understand the president’s appeal. 
Try going to one of his rallies and, instead of turning up your nose at the Walmart people, listen and learn.
The abuse of President Trump and his supporters that passes for analysis from his opponents is a strategic error.
The more abuse, the more Trump’s base is energized to turn out on Election Day.
At his Thursday night rally to launch his 2020 New Hampshire campaign, he broke Elton John’s all-time attendance record with a crowd of 11,500 inside the Southern New Hampshire University Arena.
It wasn’t just a Trumpian boast but a number confirmed to reporters by the Manchester deputy fire marshal.
An overflow crowd of 8,000 people watched outside on a giant screen..."

What the Media Won't Tell Us About Tlaib and Omar | Jewish Journal
"On Aug. 17, Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar posted a political cartoon drawn by the second-place winner of Iran’s vile International Holocaust Cartoon Competition. 
If any question lingered about the motivational purity of these women’s desire to visit Israel, this pulls off the mask.
Yet, left-leaning news sources such as The New York Times have not said a word about it. 
...If you don’t think so, you are redefining anti-Semitism and ignoring its ancient markers.
These women hit every bullet point.

• Dual loyalty. 
• Jewish hypnosis. 
• Holocaust distortion. 
• Rewriting Jewish history. 
• Global conspiracies about Jews controlling the world. 
• Jewish money bribing the powers that be. 
• And most importantly, boycotts of Jewish owned-businesses.
• Shamefully, CNN has not mentioned Tlaib’s support for advocates of Hezbollah, the terror group that currently has more than 130,000 missiles pointed at Israel and has, for the past 40 years, wreaked havoc on international Jewish institutions around the world in multiple terror attacks. 
• We haven’t heard an NPR report on Tlaib’s outspoken support of convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who murdered two American students in Jerusalem in 1969.

My MacBook Woe: I got up close and personal with city's snatch'n'dash crooks (aka some bastard stole my laptop) • The Register

• There were two fleeting moments of confusion: first when he grabbed my laptop from under my fingers and took off racing out the coffee shop; and second, when it became clear that the license plate wasn't real.

"On Monday afternoon, at about 2pm, some bastard stole my laptop as I was typing on it. 
It was wholly unexpected. 
I was sat in a coffee shop I often go to in the afternoon to do some work and someone entered my vision from the right-hand side. 
There was absolutely no hesitation on his part: he grabbed the laptop and immediately took off. 
I only saw his back.
...we were on a main road in the heart of San Francisco. 
Dozens of people were nearby. 
...In truth, though, the most awful part of the whole experience was how everyone in the coffee shop, save two guys who came and talked to me afterwards, chose to ignore the whole thing and wouldn't even make eye contact afterwards. 
Cowards, I muttered under my breath."

DACA's dark side: Illegal immigrants use Obama reprieve for criminal activities - Washington Times:

In fact, nearly 8% of those approved for DACA have arrests of some kind on their records, according to Homeland Security data from last year. That included nearly 21,000 with drunken-driving arrests, another 4,600 with other drug charges, and more than 6,600 with theft or larceny charges.
Some 22 DACA recipients were approved despite having dog-fighting or other animal cruelty charges, as were 31 accused rapists, 425 people with hit-and-run arrests and 10 people accused of murder, according to data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Just as striking was the number of arrests some DACA recipients had. More than four dozen people with 10 or more arrests were approved for the amnesty.

"Al Gore Poised To Profit Big From Anti-Meat Drive – Largest Investor in ‘Beyond Meat’ - Via No Tricks Zone website

-"Al Gore is standing to rake in millions from a World Resources Institute meat consumption reduction report, a report that will certainly help boost profits for the meat substitute manufacturers – in which Gore just happens to be a big stakeholder...Al Gore, partner and advisor to Kleiner Perkins, Beyond Meat’s big investor, stands to haul in millions, should governments move to restrict real meat consumption and force citizens to consume the dubious substitutes and fakes."

Watch: Climate Depot’s Morano reveals Gore’s plan to once again use the climate scare to enrich himself.

...Host Mark Steyn: Al Gore is the single biggest investor in the meat substitute company Beyond Meat. Marc Morano — is the publisher of the excellent Climate Depot and author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, and he joins us now. 
Al Gore is basically in line to become the world’s first post-meat billionaire.

Marc Morano:  Yes, I call it the first fake meat billionaire. Gore is invested — like he did — you go back before President Obama is elected, Al Gore came out with a list of green tech firms and companies that people should invest in. Obama puts $2.5 billion of those into a green stimulus and 14 firms affiliated with Gore get federal money from Obama.
