Moral Values and Customs vs. Laws Walter E. Williams 12/13/2017 12:01:00 AM - Walter E. Williams I'm approaching my 82nd birthday, and my daughter will occasionally suggest that modernity is perplexing to me because I'm from prehistoric times. As such, it points to one of the unavoidable problems of youth -- namely, the temptation to think that today's behavioral standards have always been. Let's look at a few of the differences between yesteryear and today. One of those differences is the treatment of women. There are awesome physical strength differences between men and women. To create and maintain civil relationships between the sexes is to drum into boys, starting ...
What Should We Fight For? NOT The “New World Order”!

“We will never accept Russia’s occupation and attempted annexation of Crimea,” declaimed Rex Tillerson last week in Vienna. “Crimea-related sanctions will remain in place until Russia returns full control of the peninsula to Ukraine.” Tillerson’s principled rejection of the seizure of land by military force–“never accept”–came just one day after President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and pledged to move our embassy there. How did Israel gain title to East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Golan Heights? Invasion, occupation, colonization, annexation. Those lands are the spoils of victory from Israel’s 1967 Six-Day ...
Diversity Must Not Be Questioned

On Friday, Republican Iowa Rep. Steve King, Congress’ foremost immigration hawk, tweeted out, “Diversity is not our strength. Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, ‘Mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.'” The Iowa congressman followed up that tweet with this opinion, “Assimilation has become a dirty word to the multiculturalist Left. Assimilation, not diversity, is our American strength.” King’s tweets soon became a lightning rod for outraged liberals and respectable conservatives. Some critics argued diversity was good and King was clearly inbred white trash. The problem with a lack of diversity, Congressman, ...

[...] Evgeniya Brik. Television and film actress, best known for “Hipsters” and “The Geographer Drank His Globe Away,” and the TV shows “The Thaw” and “The Optimists” The most incredible and unexpected thing is that this story has affected me not only personally, but professionally. I took part in a project that was partly produced by Harvey Weinstein, playing a small part on an American TV series. And now it’s unclear if the show will continue filming. I hope it doesn’t shut down. This is all appalling, of course. As I understand it, this person had enormous power, and he probably suffers from some psychological disorder. But in my ...
Legalizing Opioids Would Dramatically Reduce Overdoses

Many users substitute harder street drugs when access to less potent opioids is cut off. In his Liberty Forum essay, Robert VerBruggen argues that the dramatic increase in opioid deaths in the United States over the past two decades has resulted mainly from over-selling by pharmaceutical companies and over-prescribing by physicians and other healthcare providers. As such, he concludes that policy should further restrict access to prescription opioids, while expanding access to Medication Assisted Therapies (MATs) such as methadone and buprenorphine. Legalization would dramatically reduce overdoses. I argue here that opioid overdoses occur mainly when policies are in place that restrict or ...
This Woman Stands with Judge Roy Moore

As has become the pattern with the Left when they are being eviscerated politically, they trot out the vilest of accusations against whomever fits their latest challenge. Judge Roy Moore, who recently won the Alabama state primary against a more establishment Republican candidate, is their new challenge, and like clockwork they have found a “victim” to throw at the judge’s feet. Judge Moore, like President Trump, is one to be feared. He is a fierce fighter for conservative and Christian causes, and that alone renders him a severe threat to the Republican establishment and the ungodly Left. I sincerely hope he is ready to take on this latest attempt to keep him out of the ...
Coulter on ‘Diversity Lottery’: ‘Every Place There Is Diversity There Is Civil War’

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter appeared on “Fox News Channel’s “Watters’ World” Saturday and weighed in on the terrorist attack in New York City earlier this week. Coulter ripped the diversity visa lottery, which was the method used by the terror suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, to get into the country and questioned the merits of the policy that was heralded for “diversity.” “Every place there is diversity there is civil war, countries are breaking up,” Coulter told host Jesse Watters. “It’s never been a good thing.” She added, “Look at just Ireland. They’re all Irish and the Catholics and Protestants can’t get ...
Bergdahl goes free, but the wounded serve life sentences

Attention, all troops peeved with your platoon sergeant, bored with your field rations, or who just want a little private time: It’s okay to desert your post in a combat zone. It’s fine for you to trigger the deaths and grave woundings of better men than you. A military judge just set a precedent: Deserters in wartime walk free. You’ll probably get a book deal, too, and be portrayed as a hero in a big-budget film. The US Army colonel and judge who decided Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s fate has some explaining to do. How is it that a confessed deserter, whose actions brought our Afghan campaign to a halt and led to the acknowledged wounding and alleged deaths of his ...

1) After a brief period of shock in which they asked themselves "Why did Trump just hire one of the DIRTIEST, most CORRUPT people in DC..."
2) "...to be, of all things, his CAMPAIGN MANAGER?!", Democrats, swamp dwellers & DNC Media quickly decided they'd USE this against Trump.
3) Manafort was bait. I'm convinces Kushner was actually running this thing behind the scenes.
4) Jared Kushner was the real campaign manager so Trump put a LIGHTENING ROD out front to catch all the heat.
5) And this was true even AFTER Manafort left the campaign after 3 months & @KellyannePolls took over the job of front person.
6) Kelly Anne did a FANTASTIC job of handling the media & PR, ...
EDITORIAL: THC can't help PTSD, experts say

For every military veteran appearing in a Colorado public meeting to advocate for the right to use marijuana to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, mental health professionals throughout Colorado estimate they've worked with thousands whose pot use made their PTSD - and their lives in general - much worse. "I have seen marijuana use create so many more problems than it solves," said Brian Lanier, a licensed clinical social worker and Army reservist in Colorado Springs who has worked more than 15 years with veterans and active-duty service members. "If nothing else, these people are just numbing themselves, which is definitely not appropriate treatment for PTSD. Telling ...
Why doesn’t Hillary’s ‘dossier’ trick count as treason?

What’s the difference between the infamous Russian dossier on Donald Trump and that random fake-news story you saw on Facebook last year? The latter was never used by America’s intelligence community to bolster its case for spying on American citizens nor was it the foundation for a year’s worth of media coverage. Then again, you get what you pay for. We now know Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paid as much as $9 million for the discredited dossier on Trump. According to The Washington Post, a lawyer named Marc Elias, who represented both the 2016 Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, had hired Fusion GPS, a DC firm working on behalf ...

The following is adapted from a speech delivered on September 18, 2017, in Washington, D.C., at Hillsdale College’s Eighth Annual Constitution Day Celebration. Last year, for the first time in our nation’s history, the American people elected as president someone with no high government experience—not a senator, not a congressman, not a governor, not a cabinet secretary, not a general. They did this, I believe, because they’ve lost faith in both the competence and the intentions of our governing class—of both parties! Government now takes nearly half of every dollar we earn and bosses us around in every aspect of life, yet can’t deliver basic services well. ...
Will people now believe Corey Feldman about Hollywood abusers?

Corey FeldmanOne of the big lessons from the Harvey Weinstein scandal is the number of victims who weren’t believed. Model Zoë Brock said Weinstein chased her around a hotel room naked, begging for a massage. It was 1997, and “no one believed my story,” Brock said. Angie Everhart said no one believed her when she recounted Weinstein barging into her guest room on a yacht, blocking her door and masturbating to completion. For quite some time, no one believed Rose McGowan’s tweets that heavily implied Weinstein raped her. So: If “Believe the victim” is, in fact, the lesson here, why won’t anyone believe Corey Feldman? For years, Feldman has been adamant ...
Team Obama’s stunning cover-up of Russian crimes

It turns out the Obama administration knew the Russians were engaged in bribery, kickbacks and extortion in order to gain control of US atomic resources — yet still OK’d that 2010 deal to give Moscow control of one-fifth of America’s uranium. This reeks. Peter Schweizer got onto part of the scandal in his 2015 book, “Clinton Cash”: the gifts of $145 million to the Clinton Foundation, and the $500,000 fee to Bill for a single speech, by individuals involved in a deal that required Hillary Clinton’s approval. The New York Times confirmed and followed up on Schweizer’s reporting — all of it denounced by Hillary as a partisan hit job. But now The Hill ...

Harvard’s Lawrence Lessig Insists Clinton Could Still Be Installed as PresidentLawrence Lessig / Getty Images A Harvard Law professor posted an essay on social media recently that laid out a complicated process he believes could lead to Hillary Clinton still becoming President of the United States. Lawrence Lessig flirted with running for president as a Democrat in 2016, but dropped out before the primaries. After Donald Trump won the election, he led a failed effort to convince the electoral college to ignore the voters' will and install Clinton. In a Medium post last week, the professor insisted it was still possible for the eventual Democratic nominee to become president. Lessig ...
Does TV's obsession with fictional American traitors affect our view of government?

. . . At This Point There Must Be Casting Directors Who Specialize in Traitors. As Elaine Godfrey shows, Donald Trump is the most television-obsessed of presidents, watching the tube for hours on end. Presumably he appeals to voters who watch a lot of TV. What do people who tune in to the major networks behold? In recent years, show after show that depict the United States government in the hands of traitors. Perhaps there is a link between Trump telling voters that Washington, D.C., was actively trying to ruin the United States, and the imaginary celluloid world where this happens. (Here’s your obligatory “spoiler alert” about the plots of some small-screen shows.) The ...
InfoWars Boss [Alex Jones] Has His Own Harrowing Tale of Sexual Abuse at the Hands of Hollywood Honchos

OH, C’MON!!
I don’t know why this just sounds like a parasite looking to capitalize on the current wave of horrible tales of systematic sexual abuse and degradation in the entertainment industry, but it does.
The man responsible for promoting a host of fantastical lies conspiracy theories, ranging from cannibalizing cults in our government, to child abduction camps on Mars is now claiming that he’s been the victim of sexual assault at the hands of Hollywood bigwigs, as well.
InfoWars host Alex Jones jumped the Weinstein bandwagon Friday: “I’ve had Hollywood producers grab me by the genitals, twice, and I’ve had them pat me on the butt many other times, and that’s why, one ...
Donald Trump's Middle East masterstroke

"Why does he keep stirring the pot?" "He should just keep his mouth shut and do his job!" I'm sure you've heard many express these sentiments regarding Trump and his penchant for tweeting, commenting, and poking at the perpetually aggrieved left and their fellow travelers in the "Never Trump" establishment. But while you (and the media) were distracted by the latest shiny object dangled by the president, some tectonic plate-shifting occurred in the Middle East. Representatives of Hamas and Fatah (competing groups seeking control over the Palestinians) have met in Cairo at the invitation of Egypt's President El-Sisi to craft a governing coalition, ...

The NFL game last night, there were protests. But you know what? Nobody saw it. You know why? Because the TV networks didn’t televise it. You know why? Because the NFL is losing this thing and the players are losing this thing, and there’s no more power. No longer is there any strength. No longer is there any advantage for the Drive-By Media and the NFL and the players association to televise players disrespecting the anthem. The fact that they thought that was a good ...

Stephen Paddock: The Most Plausible Theory Of His Motivation Published on October 3, 2017 in Politics by Jack Kerwick As I write this, there is only a small handful of facts, or alleged facts, that all of the talking heads in Big Media seem to agree upon regarding “the largest mass shooting in American history.” First, 64 year-old Stephen Paddock, a white man and resident of Nevada, appears to have acted alone when he opened fire upon over 22,000 country music concert attendees in Las Vegas. Second, Paddock had a lot of weaponry, guns of various sorts, in the hotel room that he used as a sniper’s nest. Third, Paddock is a relatively wealthy man who enjoyed gambling ...
Advice To Future Spree Shooters

In the wake of the Mandalay Bay shooting last weekend, I must voice my disapproval, as any sane person would do. While I’m not the biggest country music fan in the world, I certainly don’t condone the murder of any fans by spree shooters, let alone 50+ of them. Especially since there are so many better places for spree shooters to go. If we must have a mass shooting incident arise every year or so, we might as well point them in the right direction. After all, the media tells us that these are the biggest source of firearm homicides, and since the media are on the right side of history, they can’t possibly be wrong. And so, for the ...

It’s True, The Government Paid the NFL to Stand For the National Anthem

I interrupt this bitchfest over how unpatriotic those ungrateful NFL players are to bring you the national anthem story you should actually be outraged over. The American government pays the NFL to tell its players to stand during the national anthem. That’s right. It turns out that from 2011-2014, the Department of Defense spent $5.4 million in contracts with 14 NFL teams for flag ceremonies. The National Guard got in on the action too, and gave $6.7 million to the NFL for the same kind of thing from 2013 to 2015. For those of you whose heads are beginning to spin, let me lay this all out legally. The First Amendment prohibits any government entity from forcing an individual to say ...
