Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher Thanks Trump: You Are a True Leader:
Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher thanked President Donald Trump for intervening in his case on Sunday and prohibiting the Navy from pulling his Trident pin and essentially kicking him out of the SEALs.
“President Donald Trump, you have my deepest gratitude and thanks. You stepped in numerous times and showed true moral fiber by correcting all the wrongs that were being done to me.

The True Story of Thanksgiving
The True Story of Thanksgiving - The Rush Limbaugh Show
"...What the History Books Never Told You: The True Story of Thanksgiving.”
...“On August 1, 1620, the Mayflower set sail. It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims,” now known as Pilgrims, “led by William Bradford.
...During the first winter, half the Pilgrims — including Bradford’s own wife — died of either starvation, sickness or exposure.”
They endured that first winter.
“When spring finally came,” they had, by that time, met the indigenous people, the Indians, and indeed the “Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn, fish for cod and skin beavers” and other animals “for coats.”
But there wasn’t any prosperity.
...“This is important to understand because this is where modern American history lessons often end. Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives, rather than what it really was.
...That all happened, but that’s not — according to William Bradford’s journal — what they ultimately gave thanks for.
...“All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belong to the community as well.”
Everything belonged to everybody and everybody had one share in it.
They were going to distribute it equally.”
That was considered to be the epitome of fairness, sharing the hardship burdens and everything like that.
...“Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that” it wasn’t working.
It “was as costly and destructive…”
His own journals chronicle the reasons it didn’t work.
...“What Bradford and his community found,” and I’m going to use basically his own words, “was that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else…
“For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense,'” without any payment, “‘that was thought injustice.’
...“So what did Bradford’s community try next?
...Every family was assigned its own plot of land to work and permitted to market its own crops and products.
And what was the result? ‘
This had very good success,’ wrote Bradford, ‘for it made all hands [everybody] industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.’ …
...The first Thanksgiving was William Bradford and Plymouth Colony thanking God for their blessings.
That’s the first Thanksgiving.
Nothing wrong with being grateful to the Indians; don’t misunderstand.
But the true meaning of Thanksgiving — and this is what George Washington recognized in his first Thanksgiving proclamation."

Left-leaning ‘dark money’ network poured millions into Michigan elections - mlive.com
"A well-funded left-leaning “dark money” network funneled nearly $9 million to Michigan activist causes in 2018.
Sixteen Thirty Fund, a nonprofit focused on promoting social welfare, supported an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative and other Democrat-backed causes during the 2018 midterm elections, according to tax filings released by Politico last week.
“One of my major concerns with the structure of organizations like this is that there’s a significant lag in reporting,” Schuster said.
“This organization can have a broad influence on an election, but because they don’t have to file the documents that disclose their spending, then we don’t even know the extent of their influence until long after the election."
Politico’s analysis of Sixteen Thirty Fund’s spending in 2018 found it dedicated $141 million to more than 100 left-leaning causes. It also supported House Democrats in crucial elections across the country..."

“You Don’t Bring Bad News to the Cult Leader”: Inside the Fall of WeWork | Vanity Fair
"On the afternoon of September 18, 2019, WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann was in his office at WeWork’s Chelsea headquarters when he got a text alert on his iPhone.
The Wall Street Journal had just published an explosive article chronicling what it said was his reckless management of the coworking start-up, the era’s preeminent unicorn.
Neumann is dyslexic, and reading is a challenge, so advisers quickly briefed him on the story’s most troubling details: vivid accounts of his heavy drinking, marijuana use, and habit of making grandiose pronouncements like wanting to be elected president of the world, live forever, and become humanity’s first trillionaire.
The article could not have arrived at a more perilous moment..."

The Myth Of An Epidemic Of Racist Police Shootings Is Wrong, And Dangerous | The Daily Caller
The Myth Of An Epidemic Of Racist Police Shootings Is Wrong, And Dangerous | The Daily Caller:
The false narrative claims that individual police officers, motivated by overt racism or implicit racial bias, are rampantly targeting black Americans. Some go further to allege these shootings are proof of “systemic racism” within American law enforcement. Nonstop broadcast of the anti-police message by radical activists, Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, politicians, academics, and most mainstream media outlets have made this myth pervasive. The myth, and the powerful voices who perpetuate it, are rarely challenged — even by law enforcement leaders. The result has been fear, distrust, hatred of the police, and a breakdown of the rule of law.
Open season on conservatives?-----Arizona Dem Lawmaker's Former Staffer Gets Jail Time After Assaulting Trump Supporter
Arizona Dem Lawmaker's Former Staffer Gets Jail Time After Assaulting Trump Supporter"Last year, Daniel Zaroes Brito, former Legislative Assistant to U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), attacked a man who was wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and waving a sign that read, "Vote Jobs, Not Mobs–Vote Republican."
The victim, Tucson resident Jonathan Sparks, suffered serious injuries in the assault.
Brito has now been sentenced to 12 days in the Pima County jail and three years probation.
"The assailant had jumped on to my ankle from behind," Sparks explained last November.
"So I, knowing my ankle was broken into four pieces, turned around to grab and take the hat back and my hands latched on to the hat."
...Sparks spent 20 hours in the hospital and had to undergo surgery.
He mused that if the situation had been different - for instance, if he had been a black man or if he had been waving "a rainbow flag," there would be "a sea of reporters" on the scene..."

U.S. presidential elections facing disturbing new threat: 'Faithless electors' - WND
U.S. presidential elections facing disturbing new threat: 'Faithless electors' - WND:
What if political parties need only to lobby members of the Electoral College to vote for a certain candidate, instead of accepting the voters' choice?
A ruling by the 10th Circuit Court in favor of a "faithless elector" who did not abide by Colorado law and vote for the candidate chosen by the majority in his state has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
A friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Bopp Law Firm on behalf of the American Uniform Law Commission argues for overturning the ruling.
