As soon as Democrats retake the House in November, Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told a town hall meeting Wednesday that the first priority is repealing and "replacing" the GOP tax cut package that passed last December. Speaking to her constituents in Culver City, California, alongside Hollywood Congressman Ted Lieu, Pelosi pledged to discard the popular bill, which has prompted several major American companies to boost wages, share profits, and in some cases move their production operations back from overseas, because Republicans were so secretive in enacting the bill. “One of our complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of night ...

Aluminum Prices Fall Despite New Tariffs US President Donald Trump signs off on tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum by John Carney 5 Apr 2018 Economic data is stubbornly refusing to follow the narrative that Trump’s trade policies are going to ruin everything. The stock market stubbornly refused to crash for a second day Thursday despite China’s announcement that it would slap tariffs on $50 billion of goods imported from the U.S. The trade war panic will have to wait for another day. More surprisingly, the new tariffs on aluminum are not weighing on American consumers and manufacturers as so many predicted. In fact, aluminum prices have ...

U.S. Trade Deficit with China Has Eliminated at Least 3.4M American Jobs by John Binder 5 Apr 2018 The United States’ trade deficit with China has eliminated at least 3.5 million American jobs since 2001, data reveals. As President Trump is set to release a package of $50 billion worth of tariffs and restrictions on Chinese investments, the U.S. goods trade deficit with China remains at $29.3 billion. Since 2001, free trade with China has cost millions of Americans their jobs. For example, in a report by the Economic Policy Institute, between 2001 and 2015, about 3.4 million U.S. jobs were lost due to the country’s trade deficit with China. Of the 3.4 million U.S. jobs ...

So classy. HOUSTON – Investigators at the Harris County Precinct One Constable’s Office on Wednesday filed a disorderly conduct charge against West University Place Councilwoman Kellye Burke, after accusations that she berated a group of teenage girls over a Trump T-shirt. The girls said they were in line at Tiny’s Milk and Cookies in West U on Saturday, waiting to buy cookies for younger girls at their nearby church. “A tall, short-haired blond woman came up to them and screamed, ‘Grab em by the (expletive) girls!'” the father of one of the girls said. He did not want to be identified, fearing retaliation against his daughter. The girls initially tried ...

A freedom fighter's warning to America from Britain. Katie Hopkins: My name is Katie Hopkins. Or as I am otherwise known – the female Farage, the British Ann Coulter or the biggest bitch in Britain. On a point of detail: unlike Farage I still have all my own teeth. And some of mine are actually white. Smoking kills, people. Unlike Ann, I can talk about something other than a wall. And as for being the biggest bitch in Britain, I am only 130 pounds. I did put on half my body weight – just over 50 pounds – and lose it again to prove fat people are lazy ... but that’s one for another day. It is my great pleasure to be here with you today in this very beautiful ...

"White Privilege" is a Racist Concept, and Trying to Teach It is a Racist Act Posted at 4:30 pm on April 5, 2018 by Brandon Morse As I was writing an article earlier about a PTA at a North Carolina elementary school attempting to teach parents and kids about the concept of “white privilege,” it occurred to me that the true evil behind the concept and the spread of it isn’t often talked about. The concept of “white privilege” is that because someone is born with white skin, that they have it far easier in society than those with darker skin. While I don’t at all deny that other racial community’s have their own problems, to dismiss the fact ...

Report: Facebook And ‘Top-Secret’ Doctor Were Working With Hospitals To Collect Patient Information

Facebook reportedly asked multiple hospitals around the country somewhat recently if they wanted to share patient information in an apparent attempt to help the healthcare institutions with certain processes. While the initiative, which CNBC first reported, hasn’t made it past the initial planning stage, it will likely intensify already clamorous concerns over how the tech giant values people’s data privacy. After all, Facebook allegedly tabled the proposed project when public backlash ensued, stemming from the disclosure it was suspending a data analytics firm for misusing information related to users’ traits and online tendencies. Facebook has “not received, shared, ...

Take the Loss, NeverTrump, and Move On
Post Date: 2018-04-05 15:30:54 by Tooconservative
0 Comments
It’s a certain indication that NeverTrump is miserable when it turns on Rich Lowry, embraces Michelle Obama, and imitates Hillary Clinton. Perhaps rattled by new poll numbers showing President Trump with rising approval ratings, NeverTrumpers seem particularly unnerved this week. To some degree, their columns and tweets expose (again) their fundamental contempt for Trump voters and preference for Democrats when given the choice. But this week, die-hards such as Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, and Kevin Williamson have taken it up a notch: Their collective spite has nothing to do with Trumpism, “conservatism,” or even good manners. Realizing they’re once more on the ...
US suspects mobile phone spying devices in Washington DC

For the first time, the US government has publicly acknowledged the existence in Washington of what appear to be rogue devices that foreign spies and criminals could be using to track individual mobile phones and intercept calls and messages.The use of what are known as mobile phone-site simulators by foreign powers has long been a concern, but American intelligence and law enforcement agencies — which use such eavesdropping equipment themselves — have been silent on the issue until now.In a March 26 letter to Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acknowledged that last year it identified suspected unauthorised mobile-site simulators in the ...
Nine Major Studies Reveal DARE Program Actually Makes Drug Problem WORSE

DARE has been around for decades, despite the fact that every single study done on the program has shown that it was ineffective at best, and counterproductive at worst.In the mid-1980s when the crack epidemic was in full swing, there were a number of public programs and policies put into place that promised to curb drug trafficking and thus addiction. Many of these policies centered around a mentality of abstinence and zero tolerance, such as mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, as well as “educational” programs like “Just Say No” or “DARE.” Nearly 40 years later, it is clear that the establishment’s “War on Drugs” has done nothing to ...
Latest Internet Prank Is Tricking People Into Putting Aluminum Foil Into The Microwave

The latest viral internet prank is somehow tricking people into putting a ball of aluminum foil in their microwaves. The sad truth is people are trying it and it could cause an explosion and fire in your house. We feel like we shouldn’t have to remind people of this, but then again we also had to tell people not to snort condoms or ingest a Tide pod, so you know 2018 has already scraped the bottom of all the barrels, or so we’d hoped. But alas, we were wrong. People are putting balls of foil in their microwaves. The newest internet prank is a tweet urging people to microwave a ball of aluminum foil for three minutes. According to IFL Science, it seems ...

Does Gun Control Reduce Murder? Let’s Run The Numbers Across The World
Post Date: 2018-04-05 03:27:11 by Tooconservative
0 Comments
Watching the recent emotional speeches and marches supporting gun control, I can’t shake a question that nags me: Would we be safer with fewer guns? Gun control advocates have an intuitive argument. Guns are an efficient way to commit murder. If we reduce the number of guns in society, we axiomatically will reduce murders. Reducing gun violence is a desirable goal, particularly when one sees shooters mowing down children. After I thought about it, I realized the question of whether reducing guns in a society will lead to fewer murders is a testable hypothesis. You can measure gun ownership and murder rates. No two countries have the same gun laws or the same murder rates. So I jumped ...

On Wednesday, a 1,000-person caravan making its way north through Mexico while traveling to the United States decided to abandon its plan of reaching the U.S. after President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was deploying the military to the Southern Border to increase border security. "We will wrap up our work in Mexico City," said Irineo Mujica, head of the migrant advocacy group Pueblo sin Fronteras, AFP reported. "We have support teams at the border if there are people who need assistance there, but they would have to travel on their own," Mujica said. "There are too many children -- 450 in all. There are lots of babies. Hopping the train, as we did in ...
Texas, California, and the Tale of the Coyote

Texas, California, and the Tale of the Coyote I’ve already had a couple of blog posts commenting on how Texas is kicking California’s you-know- what. Being a fiscal policy person, I always point to California’s punitive state income tax as an example of bad policy and highlight the absence of any income tax in Texas to explain the success of that state. But sometimes it’s just culture and attitude. Here’s a joke comparing the two states, but it’s based on something that actually happened in Texas.

It is no longer a conspiracy theory, but a fact that people are being specifically targeted for their participation in what some call “prepping” and others dub survivalism. A couple from California had their home raided and were held without charges for making non-violent posts on Facebook about survival techniques and thought-provoking discussions. We were able to sit down and chat with Sarah Leach about why the government felt it necessary to raid the home she shared with her husband over what amounted to thought-provoking Facebook posts. Although Leach admitted she wasn’t certain which particular Facebook post lead to the SWAT teams seizing all of their handguns and ...
As A Father From Brooklyn, I Can No Longer Tolerate The Degeneracy Encircling My Family (Gen X Revolt?)
Post Date: 2018-04-04 14:57:35 by Liberator

In my youth I was much more tolerant of the gay and lesbian movement, but I think that is because I lived in a completely different world than what exists today. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, but I feel that the Brooklyn that I remember either no longer exists or exists in isolated pockets holding out against a world quickly losing any moral coherency. I remember a time when respecting other people’s privacy was not a novelty but a requirement and by extension demanding that our own privacy be respected. We all knew who was gay, but as long as they kept their lifestyle to themselves, we didn’t give a sh*t. I developed a tolerance for people because I could put myself ...
You Won’t Believe What This “Transgender” Principal Did To His Students

Overnight, one male principle suddenly “decided” he wanted to be a female, and change his gender. Leading up to a traumatizing series of events, he involved his students and their parents in the unthinkable. Even worse, you won’t believe what he expected parents to tell their children about his sudden “gender change.” Principal Daniels was proud to admit to parents and students his new “identity.” He wrote a letter claiming he is now “transgender,” and giving instructions to parents on how to handle the transition. LifeSite News reported: “I can now say it: I am transgender. For me, that means I identify as both a male and female, ...

To honor Dr. King’s legacy today, I want to share with you a BreakPoint commentary Chuck Colson aired on Dr. King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” The issues Dr. King raised about the nature of law, what constitutes an unjust law, and how we should respond to ...
How To Build a PC

Back in the days of dial-up internet, it was commonplace to build your own computer. Instead of walking into a Best Buy or logging onto Dell's website to shop for a complete unit, you'd assemble a desktop PC yourself using standardized, commodity parts purchased either online or at a store specializing in computer components.These days, most consumers have only ever bought pre-fab systems, no assembly required. However, many gamers and computer hobbyists still prefer to roll their own boxes. Doing so means you maintain total control over how the computer turns out, and a successful DIY build is a point of pride. Also, knowing your way around the inside of a PC makes it easier to ...

California Considering Unprecedented Law Restricting Police Firearm Use Opening fire should be enforced as the last resort, the bill’s supporters say. By Lydia O’Connor On the heels of police officers shooting a young, unarmed black man to death in Sacramento, California, last month, state lawmakers announced a first-of-its- kind bill on Monday that raises the standard for when officers may open fire. The proposed legislation would change the guidance in California’s use of force laws so that police may open fire ”‘only when necessary’ rather than ‘when reasonable,’” Sacramento-based Assemblyman Kevin McCarty (D), said at a press conference ...
