Firm Behind Trump Dossier Hired by Planned Parenthood to Smear Videomakers - Breitbart:
"The shadowy “research” firm that commissioned a dossier on President Donald Trump is the same firm hired by Planned Parenthood to create the narrative that the videos exposing the abortion business’s alleged profiteering from the sales of aborted baby parts were “deceptively edited.”

California’s Very Expensive Free Healthcare | Science 2.0
California’s Very Expensive Free Healthcare | Science 2.0
"What will cost $400 billion, a giant leap over California’s total health care budget for 2018 of $179.5 billion, yet is not mentioned by California lawmakers?
California's free "single-payer" healthcare proposal.
...To solve the 'unaffordable access' problem, the state of California has decided to adopt a system like England's National Health Service - one payer, the government.
The state faces a big problem starting from scratch; since 1970, the cost of health care has boomed 1,400 percent, far beyond inflation.
That is not prescription drug costs, it is doctors and nurses and a defensive medicine system that adds huge unnecessary tests to ward off unlimited lawsuits.
None of those problems are being fixed.
Instead, the cost is going to be shifted.
In California, that means to taxpayers.
...According to the California senate’s own study, the estimated cost of the single-payer program is $400 billion, while California’s total budget for 2018 is already a whopping $179.5 billion..."

This cutting-edge bandage could make flu shots a thing of the past - LA Times
This cutting-edge bandage could make flu shots a thing of the past - LA Times:"Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.
For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch in a human clinical trial and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional jab with a needle.
It’s not just needle-phobes who stand to benefit from this development, reported Tuesday in the journal Lancet.
Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that vaccine patches will boost the number of people who get immunized against the flu..."

Nobody Speak Review: Gawker’s Death Is No Tragedy for Free Speech | National Review
"Good riddance.
In the history of giving a hostage to fortune, John Cook, a former editor of the former online poison party known as Gawker, merits a special place.
He has this to say about his professional aims: “I wanted to write true things about bad people . . . being bad or obnoxious or cruel or unkind.”
When enemies had been so identified, he says, “We could give ’em ‘what fer.’”
Unkind!
Gawker saying its mission is to make war with the unkind is like the Queen of England decrying nepotism.
Gawker’s very escutcheon was cruelty, obnoxiousness, unkindness.
It published stories too nasty and sleazy for tabloids, and wrote them up with sophomoric zeal for vulgarism and profanity.
I happily worked at tabloids for many years, but I felt ashamed of myself every time I read Gawker.
...The flame merchants set fire to themselves when Gawker published, without the permission of either participant, a surreptitiously recorded sex tape that depicted the wrestler Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) and the wife of his friend in flagrante.
With his legal team secretly funded by the Silicon Valley entrepreneur and billionaire Peter Thiel — whom Gawker had “outed” in 2007, and who rightly considered killing Gawker to be a public service or perhaps an act of hygiene — Hogan sued Gawker and its founder Nick Denton into bankruptcy. Now Gawker is no more..."

86% of Turkish women suffer domestic abuse - Israel National News
86% of Turkish women suffer domestic abuse - Israel National News:
"A new study conducted by the Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Policies revealed that no fewer than 86% of Turkish women have suffered physical or psychological violence at the hands of their partners or family, and pursued legal proceedings afterwards.
The shocking results, reported on Friday by Hurriyet Daily News, show the massive prevalence of domestic abuse in Turkey which is perhaps unsurprising - Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared in November 2014 that women and men cannot be treated equally.
That trend of abuse is in fact quite common in the Muslim world, as illustrated in a UN report in mid 2013 that found 99.3% of Egyptian women and girls had been sexually harassed.
And yet the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) last week passed only one resolution in its annual meeting, blaming Israel for Arab domestic violence..."

Biggest "weapon" they have " “made people feel unsafe,”-----Kent State SJP applauds eviction of Jews from Pride Parade
Kent State SJP applauds eviction of Jews from Pride Parade
"A pro-Palestine student group at Kent State University applauded the eviction of Jews from a recent Pride Parade because they were “associated with far right pro-Israel groups.”
“Solidarity is a beautiful thing,” the Kent State Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter tweeted in response to an article about the incident, which took place at the Chicago Trans Pride Parade on June 24.
...According to Slate, three participants were asked to leave the annual “Dyke March” on Saturday because they were carrying “Jewish Pride” flags featuring the Star of David emblazoned on the standard rainbow design, which “made people feel unsafe,” in the words of one parade organizer.
...“They were telling me to leave because my flag was a trigger to people that they found offensive,” said Laurel Grauer.
“Prior to this I had never been harassed or asked to leave and I had always carried the flag with me.”...

Municipal fiscal collapse-----Drastic cuts to fire budget approved, union talks to decide their impact | MLive.com
Drastic cuts to fire budget approved, union talks to decide their impact | MLive.com:
"MUSKEGON, MI - A drastic reduction in the Muskegon Fire Department budget was unanimously approved by city commissioners Tuesday after they heard a sobering presentation about skyrocketing overtime and pension costs.
The $689,842 reduction in the department's budget, bringing it to $3.96 million, was included in the city's overall budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year that begins July 1.
...Those issues, according to Peterson, include rising employee costs, including retiree health care and pensions; "excessive leave time" that pushes overtime costs to cover absent firefighters to an "unsustainable level" and "scheduling inflexibility" caused by staffing minimums and 24-hour shifts that have firefighters working an average of nine days a month.
"The bottom line is our system and our structure is broken," he said..."

California's Magazine Ban Could Make Law-Abiding Gun Owners Into Criminals This Week
California's Magazine Ban Could Make Law-Abiding Gun Owners Into Criminals This Week
"New laws may make criminals of previously law-abiding gun owners.
The big thing right now is a ban on magazines with a capacity over 10 rounds.
"New laws may make criminals of previously law-abiding gun owners.
...Mainly because some may not realize the laws may make them into criminals when they go into effect on July 1.
The big thing right now is a ban on magazines with a capacity over 10 rounds.
...While many of these magazines with a capacity over 10 rounds were previously grandfathered in, Proposition 63, which passed last year, changes all that. Those who own them are now required to
- turn them in to law enforcement,
- destroy them,
- or move them out of state.
...One thing is for sure, gun owners in California need to keep on their toes when it comes to staying legal in the state.
Things change fast.
Last year changes to the law required gun owners to register certain semiautomatic rifles as “assault weapons” for having a standard magazine release button.
Just as quickly as the loophole came about, lawmakers closed it.
...In the case of this looming magazine ban, some law enforcement officers aren’t planning to actively search out illegal magazines.
“We’re not going to be knocking on anybody’s door looking for them,” Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko told the Sacramento Bee. “We’re essentially making law-abiding citizens into criminals with this new law.”

I
look at the current state of our country and how those in government
have manipulated the American people, over the past several years,
into thinking that a strong, centralized power is what's best for the
United States. That's exactly why we declared our independence.
We
are currently living in a great divide, a divide caused by
individuals, a prior administration which attempted to undermine the
American way of life.......

I
look at the current state of our country and how those in government
have manipulated the American people, over the past several years,
into thinking that a strong, centralized power is what's best for the
United States. That's exactly why we declared our independence.
Our
government has way too much power and control over our lives. But,
it's our own fault. We stopped paying attention and tyranny slowly
began to take hold. We've watched as government has increased
regulations, deceived the public and it certainly appears that our
country was intentionally made vulnerable to our enemies for eight
long years.
Why
do so many Americans want to walk back into enslavement? Chances
are, they have not read the liberating documents which establish
their freedom and protect their God-given rights as free individuals.
