Democrats want to cancel the health policies of 180 million Americans | New York Post:
"That is, more than half the country — 180 million people — would have to say good-bye to their current plans (which they’re mostly happy with) and switch to BernieCare. (Most of the other half is already on some form of government health plan.)

NY Times reporter slammed after saying boy mowing White House lawn sends bad signal on child labor | Fox News
NY Times reporter slammed after saying boy mowing White House lawn sends bad signal on child labor | Fox News:
"A former New York Times labor reporter has been slammed on social media for a snarky tweet hitting the White House for letting an 11-year-old boy mow the Rose Garden lawn last week.
Steven Greenhouse, who worked for the Times for 31 years and still writes for the paper on occasion, took issue with the feel-good story of the boy, Frank Giaccio, of Falls Church, Va., who showed up at the White House Friday to cut the grass at the invitation of President Trump."

Articles: New Hillary Emails Warrant Special Prosecutor:"New emails unearthed by Judicial Watch confirm that the Clinton Foundation was in fact a pay-to-play influence peddling operation far more worthy of a special prosecutor than imaginary Russians colluding under Trump Administration beds. It is time for President Trump to keep the promise he made in the presidential debate to indict Hillary Clinton for her crimes:"
Articles: If I Were the Devil, I'd Enact Hate Speech Laws
Articles: If I Were the Devil, I'd Enact Hate Speech Laws:
"Hate speech laws are loved not only by the do-gooders who demand them. If I were the Devil, I'd love laws that limit free speech, too.
"Hate speech laws are loved not only by the do-gooders who demand them. If I were the Devil, I'd love laws that limit free speech, too.
"If I Were the Devil," a famous monologue originally written by Paul Harvey in 1965 that he reworked over a 20-year period, didn't mention hate speech laws.
But listen to his final version, and feel the chill of its truths when you realize just how much Satan has achieved.
But listen to his final version, and feel the chill of its truths when you realize just how much Satan has achieved.
Then imagine how much more the Devil could accomplish if he could silence, under the banner of a moral imperative to limit speech, not just Paul Harvey, but all Christians.
Christian speech, like all speech here in America, though (for the time being, at least), is protected by the Constitution from the Devil and anyone else who'd like it silenced.
Christianity is also protected, and it's no coincidence that religion and speech are mentioned in the same amendment..."

Yes, Hillary, the Media Did Help Trump Win. So Did You - Reason.com
Yes, Hillary, the Media Did Help Trump Win. So Did You - Reason.com:
"Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is back doing what she does best: selling books.
What Happened, her newest, doesn't feature a question.
It has answers.
Clinton blames the FBI.
She blames sexism and fake news.
She blames the "godforsaken" Electoral College and the "deep currents of anger and resentment" running through society.
She also blames Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for out-promising her at every turn.
She probably blames clandestine Russian mind-control laser beams for persuading tens of millions of Americans that she was nothing more than a calculating, deceptive and insipid career politician.
And she blames the media. Political journalists, writes Clinton, "can't bear to face their own role in helping elect Trump."
Now, hearing a Democrat argue that the institutional media wasn't accommodating enough in helping her win an election is, I admit, a bit jarring.
Support from journalists is so embedded in the Democratic Party's strategy that any negative coverage—even something as unavoidable as writing about an unprecedented FBI investigation into a leading presidential candidate—must be quashed..."

Dallas schools to consider new monikers for buildings named after Franklin, Jefferson, Madison - The College Fix
Dallas schools to consider new monikers for buildings named after Franklin, Jefferson, Madison - The College Fix:
"This past Thursday, the Dallas Independent School District School Board took up the matter of renaming some of its schools, identifying 21 with “some sort of Confederate tie.”
Superintendent Michael Hinojosa noted four schools were “priorities”: William L. Cabell, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Albert Sidney Johnston.
According to NBC-5, “[t]he board seemed to agree with starting with the four schools recommended.”
“I think the board, in essence, is pretty much together on this. Just, do we waive the current policy or not, and I want an expedient timeline. I’m looking at about two months,” Trustee Joyce Foreman said.
However, what the NBC-5 report doesn’t mention is the list of recommended schools includes the names of three prominent Founding Fathers — Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin.
...“Sam Houston?!?! William B Travis??? Now we oppose the Texas Revolution?”
“James S Hogg was never a part of the civil war. Please make sure you guys study up on your Texas history.”..."

Communism's Barbaric Cruelty By the Numbers - Reason.com
Communism's Barbaric Cruelty By the Numbers - Reason.com:
"For example, the Russian Empire was always seen as backward and tyrannical. As Orlando Figes noted in A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924, "from the perspective of the individual, it could be said that the single greatest difference between Russia and the West... was that in Western Europe citizens were generally free to do as they pleased so long as their activities had not been specifically prohibited by the state, while the people of Russia were not free to do anything unless the state had given them specific permission to do it. No subject of the Tsar, regardless of his rank or class, could sleep securely in his bed in the knowledge that his house would not be subject to a search, or he himself to arrest."
So, how bad was the backward and tyrannical Tsarist regime that was so reviled by its more sophisticated Western neighbors? Between 1825 and 1917, Stéphane Courtois notes in his introduction to The Black Book of Communism, "tsarism carried out 6,321 political executions (most of them during the revolution of 1905-1907), whereas in two months of official 'Red Terror' in the fall of 1918 Bolshevism achieved some 15,000." That's one way to put communism in perspective."
