New revelations show a nation for sale under Hillary Clinton

New revelations show a nation for sale under Hillary Clinton | New York Post:
"The Democratic Party often warns us that mixing big money and politics will corrupt democracy. They must have nominated Hillary Clinton to prove it.
The Clinton Foundation was ostensibly set up to solve the world’s most pressing problems.
Though it’s done some fine work, its most fruitful program has been leveraging Clinton’s position in the State Department to enrich her family, friends and cronies.
It’s against federal law for charities to act in the interests of private business or individuals.
Yet the Clinton Foundation secured high-paying gigs for its namesakes and helped for-profit corporations with family ties set up lucrative deals.
As it turns out, that’s probably the least corrupt part of the story..."

Obama Admin Won’t Tell Congress How It Paid Iran $1.3 Billion

Obama Admin Won’t Tell Congress How It Paid Iran $1.3 Billion:

"The Obama administration is withholding from Congress details about how $1.3 billion in U.S. taxpayer funds was delivered to Iran, according to conversations with lawmakers, who told the Washington Free Beacon that the administration is now stonewalling an official inquiry into the matter.

The Departments of State, Treasury, and Justice have all rebuffed a congressional probe into the circumstances surrounding the $1.3 billion payment to Iran, which is part of an additional $400 million cash payout that occurred just prior to the release of several U.S. hostages and led to accusations that the administration had paid Iran a ransom."

Detroit charter school closes just two weeks before first day of class

Detroit charter school closes just two weeks before first day of class
Just two weeks before the first day of class, a charter school on Detroit’s west side notified parents and students today that the high school has closed.

Officials for University YES Academy held an impromptu meeting today to tell high school students they needed to find another school to attend. Only parents and students were allowed in the meeting, and they were barred from using recording devices.

“What are our kids supposed to do?” a parent told Metro Times reporter Allie Gross. “Another black school closed down. More black kids cannot be educated.”

The school’s management company, New Paradigm, handed parents and students a list of six other schools, including one of the company’s own schools, Detroit Edison Public School Academy, Gross reported from outside the meeting. 

Students criticized New Paradigm for waiting until the last minute to announce the school’s closure.

“They call about everything else, but they don’t think to call about closing the school,” a student told Gross. 

The University YES Academy, at 14669 Curtis St., will continue to teach K-8.

After the meeting, three bodyguards tried to prevent Gross from interviewing the head of New Paradigm, Ralph Bland, who declined to comment. 

The academy came under fire in 2015 for taking extraordinary measures to prevent teachers from unionizing.

Culture Beat: Climate Alarmists Demand Child Tax

Culture Beat: Climate Alarmists Demand Child Tax — The Patriot Post:
"One of the problems with believing a lie is the unforeseen negative ramifications that proceed from it.
Case in point is an idea promoted by Travis Rieder, assistant director of the Berman Institute of Bioethics at John Hopkins University.
In a recent interview with NPR, Rieder said that having fewer children “could be the thing that saves us.” 
He continued, “Here’s a provocative thought: Maybe we should protect our kids by not having them.” His proposal to advance this idea amounts to a procreation tax, a kind of “carbon tax on kids,” as he called it.
Great idea, let’s make the cost of having and raising children even more expensive.

NAFBPO Endorses NumbersUSA’s "10 Steps"

NAFBPO Endorses NumbersUSA’s "10 Steps" | NumbersUSA:
"The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers (NAFBPO) has endorsed NumberUSA’s "10 Steps to Fix Our Broken Immigration System".
“I am writing today for the purpose of recognizing and endorsing the Ten Point Plan that Numbers USA has masterfully conceived which addresses the key points necessary to dramatically reduce illegal immigration and effectively address those already here in violation of law.
The key is putting the National Security and Public Safety of all Americans first and that is the effect this plan will have,” wrote Zack Taylor, Chairman of the NAFBPO, in the endorsement.
The 10 Steps:

• Make E-Verify mandatory for all U.S. employers to eliminate the jobs magnet.
• Complete the Congressionally-mandated biometric entry/exit system to track non-immigrant visitors to the U.S.
• End the practice of birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and foreign visitors.
• Require state and local law enforcement to report affirmatively all non-citizens in custody to ICE, make ICE detainers mandatory, and require ICE to pick up and remove deportable aliens.
• Expand expedited removal to include all illegal aliens with criminal convictions.
• End catch-and-release of illegal aliens by requiring that they be detained until removal.
• Deny immigrant and nonimmigrant visas to nations that refuse to repatriate their citizens.
• Reform the judicial process in immigration courts, including restricting relief from removal, to expedite the process and reduce the backlog of cases.
• Restrict asylum to the internationally recognized definition of those who are unable to be returned to the home country due to a well-founded fear of (state) persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
• Allow Border Patrol access to all federal lands.

Hillary Clinton, president for sale - Washington Times

Hillary Clinton, president for sale - Washington Times:

"It’s coming clear now why Hillary Clinton wanted her own email server, free from oversight by anyone, and why she resisted so ferociously enabling anyone from getting even a hint to what she was hiding. Her presidency, if there is one, has been sold, and a new batch of emails pried out of the government by Judicial Watch reveals the going rate for Hillary.

The Kingdom of Bahrain got a secretary of State for something less than $100,000, though the Bahrain Petroleum Co., which is not separate because in these nationettes where nothing ever is, kicked in an additional “$25,000 to $50,000.” What they got was a returned telephone call. Whatever else she is, Hillary is not a cheap date.

The email exchanges in the 725 pages of the new State Department documents obtained through court proceedings tell how Huma Abedin, Hillary’s top aide and “body woman,” escorted influential donors, most of them oil-rich Muslims, through the maze of the Clinton Foundation to get to the secretary of State and the U.S. Government. It was pay to play. No pay, no play."

Truth, lies and stereotypes: when scientists ignore evidence

Truth, lies and stereotypes: when scientists ignore evidence | Aeon Essays:
"There are good reasons for the bad reputation of stereotypes, which may give rise to malevolent propaganda about groups: disproportionate media representations of African-Americans as criminals, women as fit for nothing but child-rearing and homemaking,
Arabs and Muslims as nothing but bloodthirsty terrorists, Jews as grasping hook-nosed Nazis perpetrating genocide on innocent Palestinian babies.
Such characterisations are inaccurate, immoral and repulsive, to say the least.
But as biased and destructive as these images may be, many stereotypes – fixed characterisations of specific groups – turn out to hold kernels of truth.
In fact, even if vicious stereotypes are always inaccurate, that hardly disproves what most everyday people think of African-Americans, women, Jews, Muslims, or any other group. 
Which raises the question: what do people actually believe about groups, and are those beliefs inaccurate?
Before continuing, therefore, please take the following quiz:
1. Which group is most likely to commit murder?
A. Men
B. Women
2. Older people are generally more __________ and less __________ than adolescents.
A. Conscientious; open to new experiences
B. Neurotic; agreeable
3. In which ethnic/racial group in the US are you likely to find the highest proportion of people who supported Democratic presidential candidates in 2008 and 2012?
A. Whites
B. African Americans
4. People in the US strongly identifying themselves as ___________ are most likely to attend church on Sunday.
A. Conservative
B. Liberal
5. On 24 December 2004, a father and his three kids wandered around New York City around 7pm, looking for a restaurant, but found most places closed or closing. At the same time, his wife performed a slew of chores around the house. This family is most likely:
A. Catholic
B. Baptist
C. Jewish
D. Pagan/Animist
Answers appear at the bottom of this paragraph. If you got at least one right, you now have your own personal evidence that not all stereotypes are necessarily wrong. (The answers are: A, A, B, A, C.)..."

Deficiency In Reality

By Tammy Derouin

Has the United States ever had a more out of touch president?  Has any other president put more effort into destroying our country rather than preserving and protecting it or spent more time creating problems instead of resolving them?  Obama will go down as the worst president in our history.  He will also take the trophy for best con man in the role of president of the United States.  The American people will be judged for electing such an individual not once but twice and will win the award for most naïve in this upside down fantasy production.

Obama will leave office with a list of accomplishments to flaunt to his progressive allies and to our enemies.  His accomplishments weren’t designed to help the United States.  They were meant to weaken and collapse our country.  The trail of evidence leads right back to his first days in office.  With limited time, he seeks to continue his destructive legacy by endorsing Mrs. Clinton.  What is concerning is how much more damage he will cause in his last few months in office.

If you cannot see how badly the Obama administration has damaged the United States, you either have a deficiency in reality or you are part of the problem.  To call him incompetent is a huge mistake.  He knows exactly what he is doing.  He may not be the mastermind but he has played a major role.  He’s a puppet, manufactured and groomed for a starring role in bringing about the collapse of the United States.....  

Political Correctness Strips the South of All Vestiges of Slavery While Ignoring Islam’s Contribution | TheBlaze.com

Political Correctness Strips the South of All Vestiges of Slavery While Ignoring Islam’s Contribution | TheBlaze.com:

"One only wonders how far PCers will go with their outrageous logic. However, if truly concerned about PC, they naively neglect targeting the real vestiges of slavery’s historic roots.

The slave trade existed long before America did. Its originators were Muslims whose Islamic religion granted them the right, as believers, to enslave non-believers.

Historians agree as bad as the trans-Atlantic slave trade was, it was much worse for slaves owned by Muslims. Most never got the chance to suffer Muslim brutality, dying in route to their destination.

Male slaves were castrated; females taken as sex slaves. Muslims were, and remain, the world’s biggest enslavers in history. When Europeans entered the slave market, they looked to Muslims as suppliers.

Yet, no similar effort to hold Muslims responsible for their transgressions—even though such practices continue today—is undertaken. Why, for example, don’t PCers seek to eliminate Islamic studies from college curriculum or to ban Muslim clothing in public? Why target the Southern slave trader facilitator but not the Muslim originator?"

Saving Science

Saving Science - The New Atlantis
"Science isn’t self-correcting, it’s self-destructing.
To save the enterprise, scientists must come out of the lab and into the real world.
Science, pride of modernity, our one source of objective knowledge, is in deep trouble.
Stoked by fifty years of growing public investments, scientists are more productive than ever, pouring out millions of articles in thousands of journals covering an ever-expanding array of fields and phenomena.
But much of this supposed knowledge is turning out to be contestable, unreliable, unusable, or flat-out wrong. 
From metastatic cancer to climate change to growth economics to dietary standards, science that is supposed to yield clarity and solutions is in many instances leading instead to contradiction, controversy, and confusion.
Along the way it is also undermining the four-hundred-year-old idea that wise human action can be built on a foundation of independently verifiable truths.
Science is trapped in a self-destructive vortex; to escape, it will have to abdicate its protected political status and embrace both its limits and its accountability to the rest of society.
The story of how things got to this state is difficult to unravel, in no small part because the scientific enterprise is so well-defended by walls of hype, myth, and denial. 
But much of the problem can be traced back to a bald-faced but beautiful lie upon which rests the political and cultural power of science. 
This lie received its most compelling articulation just as America was about to embark on an extended period of extraordinary scientific, technological, and economic growth.
It goes like this:
Scientific progress on a broad front results from the free play of free intellects, working on subjects of their own choice, in the manner dictated by their curiosity for exploration of the unknown.
“The free play of free intellects...dictated by their curiosity...”

American journalism is collapsing before our eyes

American journalism is collapsing before our eyes | New York Post:
"Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president.
But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.
The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. 
They are working hand in hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.
The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.
The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.
Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison."

TEMPORARY TATTOOS given to German girls to help prevent swimming pool sex attacks

TEMPORARY TATTOOS given to German girls to help prevent swimming pool sex attacks | World | News | Daily Express:

YOUNG girls are being given temporary tattoos in swimming pools spelling out word “NO” after a spate of sex attacks at public baths.

The small press-on designs also sport angel-like wings and are part of a new prevention campaign launched in the Bodensee district in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg.

Veronika Wascher-Goggerle, the Women's and Family representative of the district, is behind the launch and said the press-on tattoos would also help raise awareness over the growing issue of sex attacks in swimming pools.

The Bodenseekreis is famous for its bathing and boasts numerous indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

Alleged sex attacks by migrants have caused heated debate in the area over the last few months and some pools are hiring extra security - or even banning asylum seekers altogether.

However, Wascher-Goggerle does not want to associate her campaign with any problems with migrants, stating that there have always been sexual abuse problems at swimming pools, even before the start of the refugee crisis.

She said: "I think many girls are insecure. What is normal in daily interactions and what should not be allowed and needs to be reported? 

“Illustrations have been made available at swimming pools and should make this clear.

"The temporary tattoos are an incentive for young swimmers to think about the issue.."

Michigan's Underfunded Pensions: A Tale of Two Counties

Michigan's Underfunded Pensions: A Tale of Two Counties [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"The state’s largest 100 municipalities owe more than $4.2 billion in unfunded pension benefits to their employees, and Michigan’s 83 counties add another $2.5 billion to the total.
Wayne County’s experience shows how this underfunding arose, while Oakland County shows the way out.
Most Wayne County communities run a defined benefit pension plan for their employees, and most of them are significantly underfunded.
Detroit was allowed to keep enrolling new employees in a smaller defined benefit plan after it left bankruptcy court and received a state bailout.
Foreseeing such problems, in 1994 Oakland County closed its defined benefit pensions to new hires, instead giving these workers contributions to their own retirement accounts.
The legacy pension system that serves county employees hired before that date is well-funded.
The pension systems of most cities in the county, meanwhile, are in much better shape than their counterparts in Wayne County.
At the end of 2015 fiscal year, Oakland County’s closed pension system held 98 percent of the assets it needed to pay retirees.
It has only $13 million worth of unfunded promises.
To put that in perspective, the county’s annual budget is more than $850 million.
...It’s a different story south of the border in Wayne County, however. 
There, the employee pensions are only 49 percent funded. 
Employees have been promised $1.66 billion in pension benefits.
But the county has just $815 million of what it should have to pay them, potentially leaving taxpayers on the hook for $845 million in unfunded liabilities..."

"When an elementary school girl brought home the student code of conduct booklet from Leon County Schools in Tallahassee, Florida, for parents to review last week, one page in particular stuck out to her mom.

It was a Pledge of Allegiance opt-out form parents could fill out and return to the school.

“I understand my rights as a parent and I request that my child, noted above, be excused from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance,” the form read. “This request includes standing and placing his/her right hand over his/her heart.”

Public university hosts blacks-only student retreat – to promote inclusion

Public university hosts blacks-only student retreat – to promote inclusion - The College Fix:
"CSU-Fresno president: ‘Create a greater sense of belonging on campus’ 
California State University Fresno recently held a three-day student retreat for black students that aimed to foster inclusion and help incoming African American students adjust to college life and get involved in the campus community.
The inaugural “Harambee Student Retreat,” which took place Aug.14 through Aug 17, was free to participating students, who enjoyed housing, meals, workshops and activities meant to help aid in the “successful transition of incoming African American/Black students to Fresno State,” the university’s website states.
About 40 new students plus about a dozen returning students took part, and about $16,000 was set aside in the university’s budget to host the event, although the final cost has yet to be determined, said Shirley Melikian Armbruster, associate vice president of university communications, in an email to The College Fix.
Fresno State President Joseph Castro, in an address to kick off the new school year, praised the retreat, noting “the call to better support African American students in connecting with their peers and the university was heard and put into action.”
“A first ever retreat, appropriately titled Harambee, which means ‘Let’s pull together,’ was held this week where new and continuing African-American students, along with African-American faculty, staff and alumni, could exchange ideas of how to create a greater sense of belonging on campus,” Castro continued..."

Clinton Campaign Claims Huma Abedin Didn’t Play a Formal Role at Radical Muslim Publication | TheBlaze.com

Clinton Campaign Claims Huma Abedin Didn’t Play a Formal Role at Radical Muslim Publication | TheBlaze.com:

"More from the Post:

A journalism major at George Washington University, Abedin, 40, was listed as “assistant editor” of the journal from 1996 to 2008, when her name was removed from the staff box and she went to work for Clinton at the State Department.

Her brother, who was an associate editor, and a sister, also employed as an assistant editor, are listed as staff members.
Merrill repeatedly refused to say if Abedin was paid during her tenure at the publication.

He also declined to say whether Clinton, who has made championing women’s rights a centerpiece of her campaign, was aware of her longtime aide’s position at the publication or its extremist views.

The journal pinned blame for the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States, the Post said, adding that it has published articles saying single moms, working moms and gay couples with children shouldn’t be recognized as families and that revealing dress “directly translates into unwanted results of sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility.”"
