Robert Mueller clears Donald Trump in Russia probe, William Barr says - Washington Times

Robert Mueller clears Donald Trump in Russia probe, William Barr says - Washington Times:

Image result for flickr commons images president trumpSpecial counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence that anyone connected with President Trump or his 2016 campaign conspired with Russia to subvert the 2016 election, according to a summary of his findings released Sunday by Attorney General William Barr.
Yet Mr. Mueller did find actions by Mr. Trump after he was in office that suggested he may have been attempting to obstruct the probe. Mr. Mueller did not recommend prosecution but left the decision up to Mr. Barr, who said he doesn’t see enough evidence of a crime to pursue charges.

CNN Forced To Admit Mueller Report Vindicates Trump | The Daily Caller:

Image result for flickr commons images cnn logoCNN pundits are admitting that Mueller’s final report vindicates President Donald Trump, undercutting the frenzied coverage the network has given the Russia investigation since its inception.
Special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report on Russian collusion to Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday, finally wrapping up a 22-month investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Donald Trump Jr: 'Left Unchecked, Big Tech Could Construct Social Credit System' | Breitbart:

Image result for flickr commons images No Speaking In the article, titled “Conservatives face a tough fight as Big Tech’s censorship expands,” Trump Jr. claimed that the “right to freely engage in public discourse through speech is under sustained attack, necessitating a vigorous defense against the major social media and internet platforms.”
Listing Facebook and Twitter’s use of shadowbans, YouTube’s demonetization, and Instagram’s censorship, Trump Jr. declared, “If it can happen to me, the son of the president, with millions of followers on social media, just think about how bad it must be for conservatives with smaller followings and those who don’t have the soapbox or media reach to push back when they’re being targeted?”

WHEN THEY COME FOR THE JEWS, They Won’t Ask Questions.

"WHEN THEY COME FOR THE JEWS, They Won’t Ask Questions.
See the source imageOnly recently, a Belgian parade featured a float of grotesquely distorted Orthodox Jews in religious garb, perched on bags of money, à la the art of Nazi Julius Streicher. What makes this sickening display even more alarming is the official sanction given to it by the Mayor of Aalst, Christoph D’Haese, who stated, “It’s not up to the mayor to forbid such displays” and that the carnival participants had “no sinister intentions.” No sinister intentions? Adolf Eichmann also had no sinister intentions when he organized transportation to the death camps. After all, he himself had no part in the actual killing process; they just did their jobs.

We have our own anti-Semitic scandal with newly elected congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D)...Thus, the Democratic Party is falling farther left toward Islamic ideology. . . .
American Jewry is at a crossroads....But before they bury their heads in the sand once again, they should at least hear these simple truths. When our enemies came for us during the Holocaust, they did not ask if we were Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or secular Jews. Neither were they interested in any past service we rendered for the state. We were Jews. That was all that mattered. If history repeats itself, when our enemies come for us once again, they will not ask if we are Israelis or Zionists. They will not care if we marched in Selma, Alabama; protested against apartheid in South Africa; supported equal rights for women; advocated for the LBGTQ community; and campaigned for Hillary or Bernie. It will matter that we are Jews.
Today’s anti-Semitism, unleashed by the Left and Islamists, is so visceral, virulent, vile, vicious, and vitriolic that it can no longer be justified under the guise of anti-Zionism...

The Garbage Science Behind the AP's Latest Global Warming Report

The Garbage Science Behind the AP's Latest Global Warming Report
"...A “freak out” is the only way to explain the breathtakingly stupid con job published by the far-left Associated Press on Tuesday. 
The hoax piece is titled, “AP finds hot records falling twice as often as cold ones,” and a bigger piece of garbage science you will never read … at least until the next one.
Let’s take these one at a time.
The AP reports the following:
Over the past 20 years, Americans have been twice as likely to sweat through record-breaking heat rather than shiver through record-setting cold, a new Associated Press data analysis shows.
The AP looked at 424 weather stations throughout the Lower 48 states that had consistent temperature records since 1920 and counted how many times daily hot temperature records were tied or broken and how many daily cold records were set.
The AP shared the data analysis with several climate and data scientists, who all said the conclusion was correct, consistent with scientific peer-reviewed literature and showed a clear sign of human-caused climate change.
If you read that closely, the AP is selling pure snake oil, and is doing so about a planet that is 4.5 billion — with a “b” — years old.
What I mean is that the AP wants you to believe that…
  1. …more hot than cold temperature records being broken means something. It doesn’t.
  2. …on a 4.5 billion-year-old planet, temperatures recorded over a mere 20 years mean something. They don’t.
  3. …on a 4.5 billion-year-old planet, temperature records that reach back only 99 years (to 1920) mean something. They don’t.
Do you see what I’m getting at? 
...Extrapolating 20 years out of 4.5 billion isn’t just cherry picking, it’s lying; it’s outrageous and irresponsible, but nowhere near as outrageous and irresponsible as this…
Here’s a list of the environmental hoaxes perpetrated by the media and scientific “experts” over the last four decades:
  1. A new Ice Age will arrive by the year 2000.
  2. We will all die when the ozone layer disappears.
  3. The oceans are doomed.
  4. Global Cooling will destroy the world.
  5. Acid rain will destroy our forests.
  6. Overpopulation will result in worldwide famine.
  7. We will deplete our natural resources.
  8. We will run out of oil.
  9. The polar ice caps will melt.
  10. Manhattan will be underwater.
  11. People who live in cities will have to wear gas masks.
  12. Nitrogen buildup will make the land unusable.
  13. “Decaying organic pollutants will use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate.”
  14. Polar bears will go extinct.
  15.  The end of snow!
  16. Super hurricanes!
  17. Colder temperatures prove the planet is warming!
According to these lying liars, all of this was supposed to have already happened.
And now these lying liars are running out of hoaxes, which has made the AP so desperate it is reporting on 20 years of temperatures on a 4.5 billion-year-old planet, which is like judging a person’s life based on a fraction of a second of that life.
That’s not science, it is deliberate and naked dishonesty."

  • San Francisco is installing sensors on 1,000 trash bins in an effort to curb littering and illegal dumping.
  • The city's downtown neighborhoods are filled with needles and garbage, creating conditions that many have compared to the world's poorest slums.
  • The sensors help optimize waste collection by steering city officials in the direction of trash cans that are overflowing.

The never-ending Mueller investigation ends, but once the needle goes in… – The New Neo

The never-ending Mueller investigation ends, but once the needle goes in… – The New Neo
See the source image"The never-ending Mueller investigation ends, but once the needle goes in……it never comes out.
The Russian collusion allegations have gone on about as long as the Trump presidency, the Mueller investigation nearly as long. 
These things, and the hopes they both reflect and engender, have sustained the left and never-Trumpers of all parties for a long long time. 
They are like a drug, and as with any drug, one can become addicted or at least dependent.
An addiction begins to end when the drug is withdrawn, but the addict can and often does substitute another
Democrats have been preparing the new drug, much like the old one: Congressional investigations. 
...They don’t just believe Trump is guilty; they know he’s guilty. 
...But there are a goodly number who are convinced, even now, that Trump is the most uniquely evil man to ever hold the presidency, right up there with the demonic tyrants of history, and must be stopped."

The New Yorker on Thursday published a scathing essay from Moser, now a Rolling Stone reporter, accusing the left-wing non-profit of “ripping off donors” while turning a blind eye to sexual harassment and racial discrimination within its own ranks.

Research: Google Search Bias Flipped Seats for Democrats in Midterms | Breitbart

Research: Google Search Bias Flipped Seats for Democrats in Midterms | Breitbart:
Image result for flickr commons images google logo
Epstein says that in the days leading up to the 2018 midterms, he was able to preserve “more than 47,000 election-related searches on Google, Bing, and Yahoo, along with the nearly 400,000 web pages to which the search results linked.”
Analysis of this data showed a clear pro-Democrat bias in election-related Google search results as compared to competing search engines. Users performing Google searches related to the three congressional races the study focused on were significantly more likely to see pro-Democrat stories and links at the top of their results.
