TSA on the Defensive With Defensive Lineman

The Thieves and Sexual Assailants don’t just grope great-grandmothers and steal stuff. They’re also pros at desecrating the ashes of cremated folks whose survivors dare transport them through airports. And so when “New York Giants defensive lineman A.J. Francis” flew out of Los Angeles International, his mother’s ashes attracted the TSA’s ghouls as bureaucracies do sociopaths. They opened the urn they discovered after rifling Mr. Francis’s checked luggage in blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment. Then they left one of their calling cards so there’s no question as to who insulted the lady. We’ll assume that as a grown man who ...

Ex-FBI LAYER Lisa Page today defied a House of Representatives issued Subpoena to testify before Congress! Wow, but is anybody really surprised! Together with her lover, FBI Agent Peter Strzok, she worked on the Rigged Witch Hunt, perhaps the most tainted and corrupt case EVER!
Filling the Swamp

When Donald Trump started running for the Republican nomination for president in June 2015, he began by attacking the Republican establishment in Washington, and he began his attack by calling the establishment “the swamp.” His real target was the permanent government and its enablers in the legal, financial, diplomatic and intelligence communities in Washington. These entities hover around power centers no matter which party is in power. Beneath the swamp, Trump argued, lies the deep state. This is a loose collection of career government officials who operate outside ordinary legal and constitutional frameworks and use the levers of government power to favor their own, affect ...
The 9 Most Hated Professions

Certain images pop into your head when you think about some professions, and these images aren't always so favorable. The reason they come to mind is probably not because of your personal experience with a particular profession, but your impression is instead based on the way these professions are portrayed on television, in movies, or on what you know about the few bad seeds that are present in every field of work. Let's take a look at why we hate some professions and learn the truth about them. Who knows ... you may wind up finding your future career, once you know the facts about it. 01 Dentists A trip to the dentist usually means you* will have a little bit of discomfort, if ...
A Cop Attacked and Threatened a Man Who Did Nothing Wrong, Then Made His Life Hell for Complaining

Video footage shows that Adam Finley calmly followed a hotheaded cop's instructions. But he was charged anyway.A police officer in a small Arkansas town pulled a man over for driving suspiciously near some railroad tracks. The driver—Adam Finley—turned out to be a railroad employee just doing his job. Here's what happened next, as evidenced by video footage of the encounter. Even though the cop, Matthew Mercado, had no reason whatsoever to escalate matters, he ordered Finley out of the car, became aggressive with him, shoved him against the car door, handcuffed him, swore at him, and threatened to use a taser on him. Meanwhile, Finley kept remarkably calm. He didn't ...
Will New Mom Cardi B Raise an Insurrectionist Army Against Government Tyranny? Probably not, but the new mom does support the "insurrectionist" theory of Second Amendment rights as a bulwark against tyranny.

Probably not, but the new mom does support the "insurrectionist" theory of Second Amendment rights as a bulwark against tyranny.New mom Cardi B, star of the cover story in the first issue of the redesigned Rolling Stone, doesn't generally worry about old-fashioned bourgeois respectability. As described in that story, "she's an ex-stripper with butt injections who's after your money; she's a possible former member of the Bloods...and says today that she still carries a knife." She's apparently willing to step outside ideological respectability as well. Cardi B, the first female solo hip hop artist to earn two number-one Billboard singles, says this to ...
Police Seized Property of Close to 1,000 People in Michigan—Without Ever Convicting Them of Crimes

Thanks to a new state law, agencies now have to report how extensively civil asset forfeiture is used to take people’s stuff.Close to 1,000 people in Michigan had their property seized by police or government officials last year even though they were neither convicted nor sometimes even charged with committing a crime. That's the bad news. The good news is that we have this information at all. In 2015 Michigan passed legislation that mandated local law enforcement agencies report more information to the state about the extent of their seizures. The Department of State Police just released its first report that encompassed all agencies for a full calendar year. Law enforcement ...
The problems with Libertarianism

Some of my best friends are libertarian, but I don’t hold it (too much) against them. Libertarianism appears to be very popular these days, especially among Republicans who wish to pretend to be anti-big government and yet are ashamed of eight years of huge government deficit and interference in personal life under W. Unfortunately, there are several problems with being a libertarian, perhaps the major one being that it is hard to say what exactly a libertarian is. I actually spent quite some time wading through the bewildering taxonomy of libertarian-like positions, and finally came up with a complicated tree-like “concept map” that summarizes the basics. First off, you ...
KAVANAUGH THREATENS THE LEFT’S RIGHT TO CHEAT

KAVANAUGH THREATENS THE LEFT’S RIGHT TO CHEAT Ann Coulter July 11, 2018 The fact that the media responded to the nomination of a Supreme Court justice by obsessively covering Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Russia and NATO proves that Trump has checkmated them with Brett Kavanaugh. Liberals know they can't stop Kavanaugh's confirmation, so they'd just as soon not hear any news about it at all. Please cheer us up with stories about Paul Manafort's solitary confinement! But there was one very peculiar reaction to the nomination. The nut wing of the Democratic Party instantly denounced Kavanaugh by claiming that his elevation to the high court would threaten all sorts ...

Cuomo Says He Would Sue To Protect Abortion Rights In NY Spectrum News, State of Politics Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday indicated he would sue to protect access to abortion services in New York should the Supreme Court act to restrict reproductive rights. Cuomo was in Poughkeepsie to once again push for the passage of the Reproductive Health Act, a measure meant to strengthen abortion laws in the state and urge the Republican-controlled Senate to take up the legislation, seizing on the potential shift on the court with the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy. “I want to get it done before the Supreme Court does that because I don’t want any gaps in a woman’s right to ...
Trump now wants NATO allies to spend 4 percent of GDP on defense
Post Date: 2018-07-11 21:28:40 by Tooconservative

President Trump is suggesting that NATO allies double their military spending goal to 4 percent of their gross domestic product, the White House confirmed on Wednesday. Trump previously pressed members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to raise their spending to 2 percent by 2024. Most NATO nations spend less than 2 percent of their GDP on military programs, though the U.S. spends more. Trump has argued the U.S. effectively subsidizes its allies' defense. The new 4 percent goal was initially disclosed by Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, a supporter of the idea, following a meeting with Trump, and was later confirmed by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. “During ...
Senate resistance to Judge Kavanaugh is collapsing

The New York Times published a piece today with the bland title “For Midterms, Supreme Court Political Drama Plays to Its Audience.” It turns out that’s a nice way of saying vulnerable Senate Democrats are struggling between telling the base what it wants to hear and reality. Right now, it sounds as if reality is winning: Making his way through the Capitol, Senator Bill Nelson of Florida said “look at my statement” three times in 15 seconds when pressed about the appointment, hoping to let his carefully worded news release carry the day. Such dodges only whetted the appetites of Republicans, who taunted the Democrats for their hesitation and, in some cases, ...
The Anti-Trump Conservative Firing Circle Is Wildly Out Of Touch With The American Electorate

In his rebuttal of Emerald Robinson’s attack on President Trump’s conservative critics, Jonah Goldberg singled me out for opprobrium because I applauded her thesis on Twitter. I thank him for this attention. It forces me to pause and collect my thoughts. I prefer not to defend Robinson’s every turn of phrase, but her main point is irrefutable: Trump’s conservative critics have lost touch with the electorate. Their careers may indeed be humming along, as Goldberg claims, but politically they have maneuvered themselves into an untenable position. In a democratic culture, the pundit is not a philosopher. He exists to inform and guide like-minded voters, which is only ...
What is Wrong with Libertarianism?

For some time now, I’ve been wanting to write a post about what is wrong with Libertarianism from a Biblical worldview. First of all, it would be helpful for you to see visually, a basic graph revealing the current political spectrum. The Political Sprectrum – Left to Right (Source: http://woody.typepad.com)Most Christians who call themselves “Christian Libertarians” don’t really know much about the roots or true ideology of the Libertarian political philosophy. They like the idea of small government, reduced taxes, gun rights, property rights and a free-market economy. So far, so good. I’m right there with them. The problem is in the inherent presuppositions ...
French Court Convicts Muslim Gang for Brutal Robbery, Rape of Jewish Couple in 2014

The Muslim invasion of France has made it dangerous for Jews. And they have been forced to flee in record numbers. The French authorities say they will fight antisemitism, but in reality, Jews have nowhere to turn. Going to the police is futile. They do not respond. I receive regular correspondence from French Jews who describe the deteriorating conditions for Jews in France. Every day is filled with small terrors. And despite the daily horrors, the perps, their ideology is scrubbed, censored, respected and protected. Islam must always and in all cases be protected. “French Court Convicts Antisemitic Gang for Brutal Robbery, Rape of Jewish Couple in 2014,” by Ben Cohen, ...
Lesbian Crackpots Attack “Transgender” Crazies at London Homo March

Lesbian feminist crackpots provided great entertainment this past weekend when they dominated the annual London homo march by protesting against “transgender” crazies—who, the lesbians said, are just men pretending to be women seeking to force lesbians into heterosexual relationships and continue the “rape culture.” The annual march—which goes under the official name of “London Pride” saw the feminist lesbians push their way to the front of the crowd and display a banner reading “Transactivism Erases Lesbians!”Pakistani-origin London Mayor Sadiq Khan was meant to lead the march, but ended up stuck behind the lesbian feminists, a group ...
Why the Left Fears Libertarianism
Post Date: 2018-07-11 11:46:46 by Deckard

Leftist criticisms of libertarianism have surged lately, a phenomenon warranting explanation. We libertarians could justifiably find it all quite confusing. For decades we have thought our battle a largely losing one, at least in the short term. We are a tiny, relatively powerless minority. The state has raged on, expanding in virtually every direction, for my entire lifetime and that of my parents. Yet nearly every week our beloved philosophy of non-aggression is subject to some progressive’s relatively widely read hatchet job. On the surface, it appears at least as misdirected as the rightwing hysteria about Marxists during the Cold War. But at least Marxism was the supposed tenet of ...
Fake News Is A Meaningless Term, And Our Obsession Over It Continues To Harm Actual News

from the forget-fake-news dept Many people forget now, but in the wake of the 2016 election, it was mainly those opposed to Donald Trump who were screaming about "fake news." They wanted an explanation for what they believed was impossible -- and one thing that many, especially in the journalism field focused on, were the made up stories that got shared wildly on Facebook. At the time, we warned that nothing good would come from so many people blaming "fake news" for the election, and I think it's fair to say we were correct on that. President Trump quickly co-opted the phrase and turned it into a mantra directed at any news story about him or his administration ...
Court victory legalizes 3D-printable gun blueprints

A multi-year legal battle over the ability to distribute computer models of gun parts and replicate them in 3D printers has ended in defeat for government authorities who sought to prevent the practice. Cody Wilson, the gunmaker and free speech advocate behind the lawsuit, now intends to expand his operations, providing printable gun blueprints to all who desire them.The longer story of the lawsuit is well told by Andy Greenberg over at Wired, but the decision is eloquent on its own. The fundamental question is whether making 3D models of gun components available online is covered by the free speech rights granted by the First Amendment.This is a timely but complex conflict because it ...
Angela’s ashes: Merkel’s grand project is crumbling

‘This is not about whether Mrs Merkel stays as chancellor next week or not,’ said Xavier Bettel, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, as he came out of an emergency summit on immigration last weekend. He was joking. That was exactly what the meeting had been about, and everybody there knew it. The summit was Operation Save Mutti. Their mission: to stop Merkel’s government collapsing by thrashing out a tough stance on immigration to assuage her critics. It’s quite a turnaround. Once, Merkel was queen of Europe, now she’s a beggar. Suddenly, European politics has changed beyond recognition. Merkel may, by now, regret standing for re-election last year. There was a ...

Spend a few minutes surfing Twitter and you’re likely to encounter a startling claim that comes without proof: Cannabis cures cancer. The online world is awash with such posts, startling scientists and physicians who are urging marijuana proselytizers to hit the brakes. “We know that a component in cannabis — CBD — might be useful in treating cancer,” said Dr. Joseph A. Califano III, director of the Head and Neck Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego. “But we don’t know if marijuana can stop or cure it. In some cases, cannabis might make things worse. It’s going to take time to find out. “What’s happening right now ...

THE COLD WAR isn't over for Anatoly Golitsyn. Since last summer's failed coup in Moscow, he has been churning out memos for the CIA, warning them of what he regards as the true import of the tumultuous events taking place in the former Soviet Union. It is all "pretense," he says -- an elaborate exercise in strategic deception, designed to gull the West into embracing what is still an evil empire, still run behind the scenes by communist ideologues. Mikhail Gorbachev is in on the scheme. And so, too, says Golitsyn, is Boris Yeltsin. "At the end, when they win," Golitsyn declares, "they {will} get rid of capitalists forever." Golitsyn, you may ...
Trump Is Cutting Off Big Labor From Skimming Americans' Medicaid Payments And Unions Are Furious

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is blistering at a proposed regulation that would prevent the union from siphoning fees from American workers’ Medicaid payments. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a proposed rule Tuesday that would require Medicaid payments to go directly to healthcare workers, ending a 2014 Obama-era rule that let third parties, such as unions and insurance companies, skim off a share of the paycheck before the worker saw any of it. The SEIU, one of the largest public-sector unions in the U.S., referred to the proposed rule “as part of the [Trump] administration’s broad, coordinated attack against working people.” ...
‘Dystopia’ in Chinese Surveillance Looks a Lot Like US Surveillance

(FAIR) — There’s a category of story we call “Them Not Us”—US media reporting on problems abroad, and seemingly not noticing that they have the same problems at home. There’s a great example of that in the New York Times (7/8/18), headlined “Inside China’s Dystopian Dreams: AI, Shame and Lots of Cameras.” In China, the New York Times (7/8/18) sees facial recognition as a sign of dystopia; in the West, the Times (7/9/18) reports on Amazon‘s promotion of the same technology as a “reputational risk.” Reporter Paul Mozur writes: “Beijing is embracing technologies like facial recognition and artificial ...
