"If President Trump cured cancer tomorrow, the American press corps would assail him for putting a bunch of scientists on the unemployment line. He cannot win when a press corps has decided it would rather lie to smear him than tell a truth that might make him look good. The whole of it undermines American democracy and the very freedoms the press depends on to push their lies."Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Time to Do Away With the Blue Slip | Power Line
"The “blue slip”–the power of senators to block judicial nominations within their states–is a venerable Senate tradition that has long outlived its usefulness.
Similar to the filibuster, liberals view the blue slip either as incorrigible obstructionism or as the height of prudent constitutionalism, depending only on which party’s president is nominating judges.
Thus, when Barack Obama was doing the nominating, Jeffrey Toobin, in a New Yorker article headlined “Blue-Slip Battle:

The Senate Obstructionists’ Secret Weapon,” wrote:
[A]s the blue-slip process illustrates, the Senate remains a balky, hidebound, and inefficient institution, and the President’s opponents will continue to do their best to keep it that way.
On the other hand, now that Donald Trump is in the White House, the New York Times sees the blue slip as the Democrats’ avenue to “impede the Trump administration’s judicial onslaught.” “Judicial onslaught” meaning, in this case, nominating judges to fill vacancies...
...The blue slip tradition is relatively recent, dating only to the early 20th century.
It is found nowhere in the Senate rules, but rather is followed (or, sometimes, not) at the discretion of the Judiciary Committee chairman.
So far, at least, Grassley has not indicated that he intends to do away with the blue slip..."

Florida School Ditches Common Core - Soars To Number One
Florida School Ditches Common Core - Soars To Number One:
"A school in Florida that dumped the Common Core program in favor of traditional teaching methods has soared to the number one position in the State’s top schools list, according to government statistics.

Paris 'No Go Zones' Where Immigrants Terrorize Women Threaten its 2024 Olympics Bid | Heat Street:
"Paris’s aspiration to stage the Olympic Games in 2024 is under threat partly because of so-called ‘no go zones’ in the city where immigrants from Asia and Africa pester and abuse women.
Areas like Place de la Chapelle, formerly a quiet square behind the Gare du Nord train station, have been transformed in a short space of time into havens for immigrant rough sleepers and drug dealers which are said to be increasingly intimidating for many people, especially women.
According go the Sunday Times of London, since 2015 a huge influx of immigrants – mostly single men – have begun sleeping in parks, on the streets and under the arches of the Metro bridges in northeast Paris.
They have been accused of verbally abusing women in the streets, routinely shouting “Bitch” and “Dirty whore”.
Street robbery and drug taking have also become rife..."

‘Civilizational jihad’ underway at 3,000 U.S. mosques
‘Civilizational jihad’ underway at 3,000 U.S. mosques:
"CAIR, according to FBI evidence, was established as a front in the U.S. for the Muslim Brotherhood and its spinoff Hamas. Gaubatz saved over 12,000 pages of documents from being shredded that show CAIR considered working with Osama bin Ladin, used a Muslim law enforcement officer to influence a terrorism investigation, attempted to influence Congress through lobbying and allegedly committed fraud by referring Muslim clients to an attorney who had never passed a bar exam.
Gaubatz pointed out there are more than 3,000 mosques in the United States and the vast majority are either Muslim Brotherhood mosques or ideologically with the Brotherhood.”
“We have over 700 chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Muslim Student Association, and then you have about 30 chapters of [the terrorist group] Hamas doing business as CAIR in the United States. So yeah, this is a vast network or jihadi organizations and individuals.”"
