Liberal mainline United Methodists see more than 5,000 congregations leave amid arguments over sex, gender | Fox News

The number of congregations departing the United Methodist Church (UMC) exceeded 5,000 last week as the second-largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. continues to fracture over theological disagreements, mostly pertaining to human sexuality. The number of churches that have been given the green light by their annual conferences to disaffiliate increased from approximately 4,600 early last week to 5,321 as of Friday, according to UM News.

Missing: Where Are America's Urban Kids?

Missing: Where Are America's Urban Kids? - BY GWENDOLYN SIMS
  • Since May 1, there has been a quiet epidemic of missing kids in America’s large urban areas. 
In Cleveland alone there are — as of the publication of this article — currently 45 kids listed as missing on the City of Cleveland’s Police webpage
That number includes kids just from the city of Cleveland proper, so the number of missing in surrounding areas is likely much higher still...
What the heck is happening in Cleveland?...
Sadly, Cleveland isn’t the only major city these days with an unexplained uptick in large numbers of kids gone missing...

Only one political party supports this evil!

Greens want electric cars — but not the things required to run them - By Glenn H. Reynolds
  • Environmental activists have encouraged the increased use of electric vehicles without supporting the industries that are needed to build and charge them.
"Why is it that greens want everyone to drive electric cars but don’t want people to have electricity
Or, it seems, the cars.
I noted last week in these pages how the people who want everyone to have an electric car in the garage have also been pursuing policies that, per the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s latest report, are likely to result in rolling blackouts this summer...

Texas congressman proposes DNA testing to determine illegal alien's family ties to a minor | Fox News

FIRST ON FOX — Republican Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas is introducing legislation to require a DNA test to determine the familial relationship between an illegal alien and a minor to combat human trafficking at the border.

The "End Child Trafficking Now Act" would require the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Health and Human Services to administer a DNA test if an illegal migrant cannot submit documentation or a witness to prove family relation to a minor.

One Nation, Two Sets of Laws | Frontpage Mag - by Daniel Greenfield
  • From Trump to illegal aliens and criminals, prosecutorial discretion killed equal justice.
"When Barack Obama announced that he was unilaterally legalizing millions of illegal aliens while further opening the border, he described it as using “discretion about whom to prosecute”.
  • In the years since, pro-crime prosecutors have virtually dismantled the justice system in some jurisdictions by using their “discretion” not to prosecute thieves, drug dealers and violent criminals. 
  • Some prosecutors announced that they wouldn’t prosecute rioters and looters, others that they would stop prosecuting prostitution, public urination or thefts of under $1,000.
  • In the decade since Obama announced his exercise in prosecutorial discretion, the country has been overrun with criminals and illegal aliens who benefited from that “discretion”...

What percentage of political donations from self-identified fact-checkers go to Democrats? - American Thinker

What percentage of political donations from self-identified fact-checkers go to Democrats? - American Thinker - By Thomas Lifson

"...this nifty bit of research performed by Robert Schmad in today's Free Beacon will be enlightening.  Cutting to the chase for the answer to the headline above:

The Free Beacon reviewed political donations over the past four election cycles from those who identified their occupation as "fact checker." $22,580 of the $22,683 in political donations that came from self-identified fact checkers during that time — a whopping 99.5 percent — went to Democrats and liberal groups...

That rounds off to 100%, of course, but those three exceptional souls do deserve some notice, so the Freeb's headline is best: "Fact Check: Nearly 100 Percent of Political Contributions From Fact Checkers Go to Democrats."...

Same Plot, Different Actors - American Thinker

Same Plot, Different Actors - American Thinker - By Clarice Feldman
"Just as Hollywood seems stuck on the notion of releasing new versions of once-popular films using new actors, the corrupt Department of Justice seems to be using the same tattered playbook once again in the preposterous and ill-considered indictment of President Trump. 
Only if you saw the originals, you know the plot tricks this time.
I refer you to the Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Senator Ted Stevens cases I’ve written about here. In particular, the detailed account of the former case in the now defunct Weekly Standard. It was written in 2006 and is now in the Washington Examiner archives. If it is difficult for you to access, this more recent and less detailed article may help refresh your recollection.
Here are some of the common features: 
  • Count Stacking -- that is, separating a single matter into multiple counts for the purpose of poisoning the public, sensationalizing the case, and persuading a jury that there’s a pony in all that dung. (In this case, I’d add, dissuading voters from continuing to support Trump.) 
  • Cherry picking statements out of context, sometimes relying on both hearsay and misrepresentations. Leaking to the press even information which is false. 
  • Allegations aren’t evidence, and with this corrupt Department of Justice, you’d be wise to remember that.
Here are some examples: The indictment shows many boxes stacked in a bathroom and ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, but most of those seem to be simply memorabilia that Trump saved, like presidents before him.
In fact, the government claims that of the 13,000 documents they seized at Trump’s residence, only 102 had “classified markings” and only 31 are in issue, of which only 21 are claimed to be related to “national defense.”...
