A recent article from the Australian media outlet SBS showing how Scientism is psychologically identical to religion or other forms of ideological extremism and dogma has some interesting implications regarding the supporters of police and the state. Before I make that connection, take a look at what the article had to say about the psychological roots of extremism. Last year, the University of Maryland’s Arie Kruglanski detailed evidence that psychology, not theology, is at the root of extremist ideologies.Extremist groups like ISIL offer adherents a sense of personal worth, he argued, but they also provide believers with certainties about the world that they so desperately ...

Thoughts of a baby in the womb by "Rachel Burns" Mommy keep me safe, Mommy keep me warm, Handle me with all your love, Mommy keep me from harm. I'm only six weeks old today, This birthday gift to me, A pair of bright blue eyes, That someday you will see. I've barely got ears, A little puppy nose, and at the end of my feet, Little things called toes. Looking forward to my life, toys, teddy bears, snails, and long fairy tales. Where are we going mommy, in a bath, on a bus ride or, perhaps far away. Where are we going being pushed at all force. How funny it feels passing through doors, people dressed in green, if they hurt you mommy just scream. What's happening ...

Phyllis Schlafly: Disqualify Marco Rubio for Lying About Amnesty in Spanish by Katie McHugh Breitbart 18 Aug 2015 Phyllis Schlafly, architect of the modern conservative movement and tireless opponent of mass immigration, says GOP hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) should be disqualified from the race for dishonestly saying one thing about amnesty in English and another in Spanish. “If Jeb’s candidacy falters despite the $114 million he raised, the establishment’s next choices, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have basically similar views,” she wrote in her Monday World Net Daily column: Kasich said the 12 million illegals should be “legalized once we ...

Gamechanger: Trump Closer Than Jeb to Clinton In CNN Poll by John Nolte Breitbart 19 Aug 2015 A CNN poll taken days before Hillary Clinton’s public meltdown during a Tuesday press conference about her handling of classified data, shows that Donald Trump is within just 6 points of Clinton, 51% – 45%. This is a remarkable +10 point gain for the billionaire businessman, who was down -16 points in July. In contrast, Republican Establishment favorite Jeb is doing worse against Clinton than Trump. Jeb is down a full -9 points, 52% – 43%. Despite the ongoing problems surrounding her irresponsible handling of national security secrets, unlike Trump, the former-Florida Governor ...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle agreed Wednesday to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography in a case that destroyed his career at the sandwich-shop chain and could send him to prison for more than a decade. Prosecutors allege that Fogle knew the pornography had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation, which sought to raise awareness about childhood obesity and arranged for Fogle to visit schools and urge children to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits. Authorities said Fogle offered to pay adult prostitutes a finder's fee if they could connect him with minors ...

ALAMEDA, CA, August 19, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – A former procurement technician who helped harvest organs at Planned Parenthood said she saw a baby boy's heart beating outside his body before the child's body parts were extracted. Holly O'Donnell, a former procurement technician at StemExpress, said at an abortion facility in Alameda, California, a co-worker named Jessica brought over the most fully developed baby she had ever seen and said, “I want you to see something kind of cool.” There she saw the “closest thing to a [fully-developed] baby I've seen.” “It had a face. It wasn't completely torn up,” she said. “Its nose was very ...

The Beltway Right specializes in launching well-publicized crusades on tangential issues, especially those that can be used in pointless pandering to minorities. Both Jeb Bush and Rand Paul seem to have put nonwhites at the center of their presidential campaigns, and not surprisingly, a new poll shows the largely white Republican base doesn’t seem to care about them [Poll: GOP Establishment candidates falling, by Eric Bradner, CNN, August 17, 2015]. Yet that isn’t stopping Conservatism Inc. from becomingly wildly excited about one of Barack Obama’s recent initiatives—cracking down on state occupational licensing requirements that affect immigrants and minorities.

Hillary’s email server was run out of an old bathroom closet By David K. Li New York Post August 18, 2015 | 12:08pm Hillary Clinton’s email servers were maintained by a mom-and-pop outfit — run out of an old bathroom closet in a downtown Denver loft, according to a published report on Tuesday. While Platte River Networks has ties to Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, it wasn’t immediately clearly how the company got hooked up with the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential front-runner, the Daily Mail said. The company’s work with Clinton was a secret to many of its employees, who were amazed when they learned of it. “At the time I worked ...

After Tiff With Megyn Kelly, Trump Engages In War With Fox's Frank Luntz By Caitlin MacNeal TPM Published August 18, 2015, 11:50 AM EDT Fresh off his confrontation with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump is now lashing out at Fox News pollster Frank Luntz over the focus group following the first Republican presidential debate. The participants in Luntz's focus group bashed the real estate mogul's performance and called Trump "mean" and "bombastic." Trump was quick to criticize the focus group, calling Luntz a "clown" and a "low class slob" on Twitter. Before the debate, Luntz allegedly told attendees at a South Carolina ...

VA caught sending veterans' mail to the shredder By Pete Kasperowicz Washington Examiner 8/17/15 5:50 PM The government watchdog for the Department of Veterans Affairs reported Monday that it was able to substantiate claims that the VA's Los Angeles office was sending mail from veterans to the shredder. The VA's Office of Inspector General said it launched an "unannounced inspection" of the Los Angeles office after hearing allegations that the VA staff there was shredding mail related to veterans' disability compensation claims. Though the OIG said it can't measure how often this might have happened, it did say it found some examples of mail lined up for ...

I’m a Hillary Clinton fan. But I hope she bows out with grace Mary Dejevsky The Guardian (UK) Monday 17 August 2015 14.27 EDT Hillary Clinton has a fundraising pot that is overflowing. She appears to be cruising to the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination: and then, if the stars align in her favour, on to a well-deserved place in history as the first female president of the United States. Her supporters have wished it for so long, it seems almost impossible that it might not come to pass. And I would count myself among those supporters, ever since – as a Washington-based correspondent – I watched the lobbyists gang up to defeat her health plan, and observed how she ...

A top senator has demanded that Mrs. Clinton’s attorney detail the steps he used to protect classified information in her emails, which he kept on a flash drive at his office.

Many people think the Internal Revenue Service was violating civil liberties when it harassed tea party groups. After all, the groups were targeted because they wanted to exercise their civil liberty to challenge government policies. However, the specific issue in the IRS case was the groups’ application for tax-exempt status, which seems to be an aspect of economic liberty. In fact, the IRS case demonstrates that there is no meaningful distinction between civil and economic liberties. A true friend of the free society defends both civil and economic liberties. Many “civil libertarians” who oppose government laws interfering in the personal choices of consenting adults ...

Purple Strategies Chairman and Founding Partner and Republican strategist Alex Castellanos criticized GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s immigration plan and said that after Trump loses in the primary “there will be a cleansing that’ll go on” in the GOP on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360.” Castellanos said, “let me just say, wow, even Republicans wouldn’t say that Barack Obama has been arrogant enough to rewrite the Constitution that way [to end birthright citizenship]. But, in a general election — look, right now, this hurts the Republican Party. If you think the Republican Party hasn’t alienated enough Hispanics, ...

Have you ever wondered how the toughest competitors in the Ultimate Fighting Championship would stack up against the military? Well, you can stop wondering. A YouTube video called "UFC Fighters Experience Marine Corps Martial Arts" gives a look at what happened when five fighters — Marcus Davis, Rashad Evans, Forrest Griffin, (Marine veteran) Brian Stann, and UFC President Dana White — made the trek to Quantico, Virginia's Marine Corps Martial Arts Center of Excellence, better known as MACE. After seeing a morning demonstration of tactics and techniques, the fighters attempted a training lane used to test Marines for their ability to train with knives, bayonets, ...

Donald Trump has now said that he would reverse President Obama's executive amnesty for "DREAMers" - illegal immigrants who've been here since they were children - and deport every last member of the Undocumented-American community. The amnesty for the kids was supposed to prefigure an amnesty for their parents - for what mean old politician would advocate breaking up families? But, as he told NBC's Chuck Todd, Trump plans to keep the families together by deporting every single one of them: "We're going to keep the families together, but they have to go," he said in the interview, which will air in full on NBC's "Meet the Press" this ...
Immigration: Issue of the century

“Trump’s immigration proposals are as dangerous as they are stunning,” railed amnesty activist Frank Sharry. “Trump … promises to rescind protections for Dreamers and deport them. He wants to redefine the constitutional definition of U.S. citizenship as codified by the 14th Amendment. He plans to impose a moratorium on legal immigration.” While Sharry is a bit hysterical, he is not entirely wrong. For the six-page policy paper, to secure America’s border and send back aliens here illegally, released by Trump last weekend, is the toughest, most comprehensive, stunning immigration proposal of the election cycle. The Trump folks were aided by people ...

These Drug Dealers Killed More People in the Last Decade than the Mexican Cartels There is a dubious new addition to the Forbes 2015 America’s Richest Families list. The Sackler family, which owns 100 percent of Purdue Pharma, amassed the 16th largest family fortune in the U.S., estimated to be worth $14 billion dollars. What makes this distinction dubious is the fact that the Sackler’s built their fortune by peddling the highly addictive, and often deadly, opiate painkiller OxyContin as a supposedly non-addictive version of oxycodone, labeling it as “abuse resistant.” Purdue Pharma has generated estimated sales of over $35 billion dollars since releasing OxyContin in ...

Gloucester, MA — Leonard Campanello is not your average police officer, which makes him even more of an atypical police chief. While police departments across the United States double down on the war on drugs with more military gear and violence, Campanello is doing it right. While cops continue busting down doors of suspected drug users, and killing their dogs, or killing them, Campanello is reaching out his hand. The Gloucester Police Department serves the small town of 30,000 people, and when they experienced their fourth heroin death in three months, Campanello realized that police violence was not the way to deal with the problem. “The war on drugs is over,” ...

State contractors have readied plans to acquire as many as 300 farms in the California delta by eminent domain to make room for a pair of massive, still-unapproved water tunnels proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown, according to documents obtained by opponents of the tunnels. Farmers whose parcels were listed and mapped in the 160-page property-acquisition plan expressed dismay at the advanced planning for the project, which would build 30-mile-long tunnels in the delta formed by the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers. "What really shocks is we're fighting this and we're hoping to win," said Richard Elliot, who grows cherries, pears and other crops on delta land farmed by his ...

Billionaire Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump completed his jury duty in New York in one day on Monday, signing autographs and giving a fist-bump to a supporter amid a swarm of media. Trump, the front-runner in a crowded Republican field, arrived at Manhattan Supreme Court earlier in the day in a black limousine to join fellow New Yorkers to possibly be selected to cast a verdict in a trial. He was released along with other jurors early in the afternoon as court officials reported no juries were needed for the few cases eligible for trial in the less-busy month of August. Trump was greeted by a throng of reporters and television crews numbering around 100 people. He left for ...
