List: Damage Holder And Lynch Did Was MUCH WORSE Than Feared

List: Damage Holder And Lynch Did Was MUCH WORSE Than Feared:

That was clear during Fast and Furious. It was also clear when Lynch “secretly” met with Bill Clinton on a tarmac to discuss their “grandchildren.”

It seems that no one really knew how bad Holder and Lynch were until now. It has been discovered that some of the insane laws that are being changed in some states to make life easier for criminals (and worse for law-abiding citizens) were actually pushed thanks to the Department of Justice under Obama."

Stop Blaming Amazon for the Actions of Consumers | The Digital Reader

Stop Blaming Amazon for the Actions of Consumers | The Digital Reader:
"It is always fashionable to hate the winner. 
In 2017, in bookselling, that is Amazon.
...after getting suitably enraged at Amazon, van Essen proceeded to blame Amazon for killing off indie bookstores and chain bookstores.
Excerpt:
Why should you be angry? 
Image result for anti capitalist memeIndependent bookstores have survived in spite of the risk of Amazon over the last few decades, squeezing through hard times thanks to their more personal, localized experience.
...This is about the physical bookstore movement.
Even the book chains had to struggle against Amazon.
My local bookstore has had rapid declines in employee hours over the years, and it has been in danger of closing more than once.
...Just like independent bookstores, some book chains have survived in spite of Amazon’s takeover of the book selling industry, and now they are cautiously growing again.
...The real problem with van Essen's piece is that she is angry about "what Amazon has done with the book industry in the last few decades".
The only thing Amazon has done to bookselling is be a better retailer than its competition. 
Amazon hasn't taken nefarious or villainous action against its competitors; instead it has merely offered better prices and better service and then let customers vote with their wallets.
If a bookstore chain dies because customers decide they don't want to shop there any more, is it really the fault of Amazon?"

Alt-Left Insanity: Trump Ruined Bisexual Wedding … By Winning

Alt-Left Insanity: Trump Ruined Bisexual Wedding … By Winning
".Note: Normal people might find some of this offensive. (We hope. Dear Lord, please!)
It’s eight months since election day and six since President Trump took office. 
And the left is still writing stories about how they can’t cope with the results. 
It’s like a good chunk of the nation has PTSD or just sore-loser disease.
The latest comes to us from the nutters at Bustle. 
That website pretends to be mainstream, only it's not. 
It’s certifiable alt-left nonsense. 
...Let’s get back to the angry liberal unable to cope. 
Author Beth McDonough told readers about her idyllic life and how President Donald Trump wrecked it all. 
“I came out as bisexual just over two years ago when I fell in love with the woman who is now my wife. 
Image result for crazy memeMy conservative, Christian family from small town West Virginia were nothing but open, loving, and supportive.”
So far, so good. 
Then the most awful thing happened -- the election. 
...“I became terrified, and I got vocal about it. I attended rallies, I sent articles to my parents, I pleaded on social media for everyone who loves and supports me to please put their taxes and guns aside and stand up for human rights.”
...Election day came. 
The libpocalypse. “I woke up in a stupor of shock. We lost. How could we have lost? The future was supposed to be bright and fair, not dark and hate-filled.”
Then came the betrayal! 
“One November 9th I saw an Instagram post from my cousin of he and his wife on a plane, celebrating the victory of President Donald Trump. He wasn't just happy, he was gloating, captioning the photo with hashtags like #Killary and #Hillaryforprison, exclaiming his excitement for Trump to make America great again.” 
Even more, an “ultra conservative, Christian cousin” of her wife to be didn’t approve of her gay wedding. 
Horrors..."

Photographer in bizarre selfie court battle reveals that being sued by a monkey has left him broke

Photographer in bizarre selfie court battle reveals that being sued by a monkey has left him broke
"Mr Slater travelled to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and spent a week taking pictures of macaques in 2011
Mr Slater travelled to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and spent a week taking pictures of macaques in 2011It was meant to be a harmless selfie, designed to highlight the plight of the endangered crested black macaque.
But British photographer David Slater, who is at the centre of a bizarre court battle of the now infamous “monkey selfie”, has revealed that being sued by a monkey has ruined his life and left him completely broke.
The 52-year-old from south Wales, who specialises in wildlife and conservation photography, said he has been left penniless after years of legal wrangling over whether he or the macaque owns the copyright of the picture.
...In 2014 he asked Wikipedia to take down his picture after they published it without his permission, but the web giant refused and said that the copyright belonged to the monkey.
The US Copyright Office ruled that animals cannot own copyright but People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sued Mr Slater in 2015..."

"The term “social justice warrior” has been thrown around a lot lately.
Google defines this term as “a person who expresses or promotes socially progressive views.” 
...From calling a professor racist after he correcting a student’s grammar to complaining about “fart rape,” social media has been flooded with some of the most ridiculous messages we’ve ever seen.
Here are 13 times SJWs completely lost touch with reality."

Hmmm. No mention of who be killin' these ladies...-----More Black Women Are Killed In America Than Any Other Race, A New CDC Report Says

More Black Women Are Killed In America Than Any Other Race, A New CDC Report Says
Image result for oj simpson"A new report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has presented some disturbing statistics regarding racial and ethnic differences in the homicide rates of women.
 While homicide is one of the leading killers of women from all racial and ethnic backgrounds, non-Hispanic black women face a significantly higher homicide rate than most other racial groups in the United States.
Black and indigenous women are killed as a result of homicide at rates more than double what women of other races experience...
...Cindy Southworth, the executive vice president of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, tells Bustle that there are many factors at play in these high murder rates. "Institutional racism and the over-policing of people of color adds a significant barrier to survivors reaching out for help from the justice system," she says, "putting women of color at heightened risk of homicide."

Trump May Yet Become a Terrific President | Klavan On The Culture

Trump May Yet Become a Terrific President | Klavan On The Culture:
"We're six months into the Trump presidency and it's worth asking:

  • When you eliminate the febrile fantasies of the left (sometimes called "journalism" or "the news," by people who work in "journalism" or "the news") and 
  • when you tune out the grave harumphs of the intellectual He's-Not-Quite-The-Thing right wing, and
  • when you ignore too the lovestruck dreamy-dreams of the Trump Right or Wrong Fan Club

...what are we left with?
In fact, it seems to me — a reluctant Trump voter — President The Donald has done a pretty darn good job so far. 

  • Rough-hewn, inexperienced and sometimes too much of a loudmouth for his own and the country's good, he has nonetheless managed to increase American freedom and productivity while dragging us back from the brink of the Moribund European Socialist Please-Kill-Us-Mohammed anti-Western vision of the last guy who held the office.
  • There's the great Supreme Court pick, of course. 
  • Plus he's eliminated sixteen old federal regulations for every new one put in place. 
  • He's made American foreign policy sane again by re-aligning us with Israel and pulling out of the nonsense Paris Accord. 
  • You can talk about the non-wall all you like, but the drop in illegal border crossings under this president is, according to the head of the National Border Patrol union, "nothing short of miraculous." 
  • Stock market's up. 
  • Unemployment's down. 
  • Housing Sales are up. 
  • ISIS is down. 
  • Oh, and Trump's brutal thrashing of our utterly corrupt and dishonest news media has been a joy to behold.
