"Leftists have managed to claim victory over the imagined evils of monuments commemorating the Civil War.
Names have been changed, statues have come down, and the Confederate Battle Flag has been banned.
Now, the left is going after our Founding Fathers.
At James Madison Memorial High School in Verona, Wisconsin, a student is petitioning to have the name of her school changed.
Why?
The student claims that the “significance of this name in association with my school has a negative effect on memorials [sic] black students.
The lack of representation I feel in this school makes me feel more than unsafe.” The Weekly Standard reports that to date, the petition has received more than 1,500 signatures.

Yes, Reporters Did Try To Ignore The Lynch-Clinton Scandal — Multiple Justice Dept. Emails Show It | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Journalists rushed to the defense of two reporters after President Trump accused them of being "reluctant to cover" the scandalous tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton.

North Korea’s Deadly Partnership With Iran
North Korea’s Deadly Partnership With Iran
"Iran had oil. Iran had cash. North Korea had weapons but no cash and no oil, so it was an ideal match.’
North Korea’s Kim Yong Nam was among the most mysterious, and most reported on, guests at the inauguration of Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani over the weekend.
...If he is forging deals to help Iran get the kind of nuclear and missile technology with which North Korea has surprised and frightened the world, but relations between the two governments go back a long way, and shared weaponry and technology has been key to their rapport..."

"Can someone show us a climate prediction that has ever come true?-By Jack Hellner
It's another day, and we get a new story about how dire the climate threat is and that it is unambiguous that humans are a significant cause.
What is rarely noted in these articles is actual facts that support the theory.
I would love to see actual temperature data for each decade for the last 150 years, including where the measuring stations are located.
It would be especially interesting to see rural data where cement and asphalt don't inflate the temperature.
It should also always be noted that a "Little Ice Age" ended in 1715 and that some warming would be normal.
Why don't we see a list of storms, droughts, and floods from each decade to show the trend?
Even if there is some sort of a trend, how would it be attributed to humans, since the climate has always changed through billions of years when humans and fossil fuels could have had no effect?..."

Gov. McAuliffe in Charlottesville 'No Place in America' for Alt-Right, Refuses to Condemn AntiFa
Gov. McAuliffe in Charlottesville 'No Place in America' for Alt-Right, Refuses to Condemn AntiFa:
"Originally billed as a protest in favour of free speech — alongside the disdain over the removal of Confederate statues in the city — the “alt-right” rally found itself transformed into a torch-wielding, Nazi-flag waving dereliction of American values — at least considering the publicity afforded to the event, and the behaviour of some of the rally’s attendees.
In brief, what transpired amounted to a disgusting and unwelcome throwback to segregationist ideas and rhetoric at a time when patriotic conservatism is gaining ground. While many media minutes and deliberations will be afforded to the fascistic right, almost none will be dedicated to the fascistic left."

"Who Gave The Stand Down Order To The Police On Saturday That Allowed This Violence To Take Place?
And Why Do Democrat Mayors and Governors Pull The Police Back And Allow Radicals Like Antifa and Black Lives Matter To Take Over The Streets and Hurt People?

And Why Do Democrat Mayors and Governors Pull The Police Back And Allow Radicals Like Antifa and Black Lives Matter To Take Over The Streets and Hurt People?
All weekend, the left, the media and anyone who hates Trump has been implying and indirectly blaming Trump for the violence that took place in Charlottesville and attacking him for not naming and condemning White Supremacists, Nationalists and Neo Nazis in his Saturday response to what happened.
This is interesting because who were these groups fighting with?
They surely weren't fighting among themselves.
This is interesting because who were these groups fighting with? They surely weren't fighting among themselves.
Are the left and the media upset with Trump because he didn't mention Black Lives Matter (who were also there and fighting) or Antifa who were the main cause for the violence that erupted?
The answer is no.
There were some 30 plus groups gathered on Saturday, many of which were involved in violence and many were not.
Should Trump have named each and everyone during his Saturday response? Would that have pleased his critics?
Of course not.
No matter what happened, it will always be Trump's fault..."
