Enrollment drops at schools known for 'social justice warfare' - Washington Times
Enrollment drops at schools known for 'social justice warfare' - Washington Times:
"Universities known for being hotbeds of campus protest and liberal activism are struggling with declining enrollments and budget shortfalls, and higher education analysts say that’s no coincidence.
Take Oberlin College. According to a document leaked to The Oberlin Review, the school’s student newspaper, the small liberal arts college famous for social justice hoaxes has had trouble attracting and retaining students, missing this year’s enrollment mark by 80 and racking up a $5 million budget deficit in the process."

Should You Tell the Cops You Have a Gun? - Reason.com
Should You Tell the Cops You Have a Gun? - Reason.com:"The fatal shooting of Philando Castile last year by a Minnesota police officer reinvigorated an old debate about how people who are licensed to carry a concealed weapon (CCW) should handle interactions with the cops.
The officer, who was acquitted of manslaughter in June, panicked during a traffic stop after Castile, a CCW licensee, told him he was armed.
Some gun owners argue that disclosure is considerate and prudent, while others worry it will escalate a routine traffic stop into a tense, unpleasant, and possibly life-threatening encounter.
But virtually everyone agrees it's important to know the relevant legal requirements, which vary from state to state."
Montana Snow About 60 Days Early - Ice Age Now
Montana Snow About 60 Days Early - Ice Age Now:
“Global warming nonsense is only a political expedient …try living here in the cold reality.”– Chet Walker
"I live south of Missoula, Montana, in the Sapphire & Bitterroot Mountains at 3,500 ft; in the area being discussed, and we haven’t been getting snow like this for several years.
Our hunting seasons have been without snow quite regularly and last year we didn’t get ANY snow until the last few days of the season in late November.
However the winter snow sticks around here until early August at higher altitude (6,000 ft+).
So, it’s about 60 days early...
...It’s very early to get this kind of snow, however (trying to be positive) we do need it to possibly dampen and put out some of the high-mountain fires that have been allowed to go unchecked.
Global warming nonsense is only a political expedient …try living here in the cold reality."

Judicial Watch Says Trump Should Overrule His DOJ And Order A Full Review Of The IRS Scandal
TaxProf Blog:
"...Last week the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, announced prosecutors will not pursue charges against former IRS official Lois Lerner.
Lerner is infamous for her deliberate targeting of conservative tea party groups between 2010 and 2012 while leading the tax exempt department inside the agency.
The news was immediately met with outrage by House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, who said the failure to reopen the case against Lerner (which was closed without charges under the Obama administration) only proves that Washington bureaucrats are held to a much lower standard than every day Americans living outside the protective D.C. bubble. ...
Judicial Watch, which is still pursuing documents related to the IRS targeting scandal and has for years, proving Lerner was at the heart of the targeting, is buying none of it and calling on President Trump to intervene.
"I have zero confidence that the Justice Department did an adequate review of the IRS scandal.
In fact, we’re still fighting the Justice Department and the IRS for records about this very scandal.
Today’s [Friday's] decision comes as no surprise considering that the FBI collaborated with the IRS and is unlikely to investigate or prosecute itself," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton released in a statement. "President Trump should order a complete review of the whole issue.
Meanwhile, we await accountability for IRS Commissioner Koskinen, who still serves and should be drummed out of office."

More SEIU schemes to bilk the taxpayer - NetRight Daily
More SEIU schemes to bilk the taxpayer - NetRight Daily
"The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the nation’s largest unions, has been filling its coffers with Medicaid dollars for years.
With the help of Democrat politicians, SEIU has been raking in tens of millions of dollars each year by skimming dues off the top of Medicaid checks sent to personal care assistants, who care for Medicaid recipients in their homes.
...Typically, unions are paid to negotiate and enforce contracts between employees and management. But with personal care assistants, having a union makes little sense.
Personal care assistants are “employed” by the person they care for – often their own child, or another relative, or a friend.
Personal care assistants do not work for the state or the federal government.
And it’s not like SEIU sits down with each Medicaid patient and bargains with them over smoking breaks, time off, and benefits on behalf of each personal care assistant.
...With SEIU doing so little for these caregivers, why should they have to pay hundreds of dollars a year in dues to the union?
...Setting politics aside, SEIU has a long record of sleazy and scandalous behavior.
For example, SEIU has a policy of refusing to recognize dues opt-out forms outside of arbitrary windows of time that allows it to continue collecting dues even after a member resigns, as an Oregon woman learned.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg..."

These are sleazy scumbags!

DOJ can't withhold grants from 'sanctuary' cities, judge rules - Washington Times
DOJ can't withhold grants from 'sanctuary' cities, judge rules - Washington Times:
"The ruling blocks nationwide enforcement of two of the three new conditions the Justice Department sought to impose on jurisdictions seeking funds through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant, which doles out nearly $400 million to state and local agencies each year.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new stipulations in July as a means to ensure that local jurisdictions were cooperating with federal immigration agents and not working to shield illegal immigrants from deportation."
