Why We Cannot Trust the FBI
Why We Cannot Trust the FBI:
"It’s hard to escape the conclusion that the Obama FBI wanted me and the other speakers at the event dead. Dutch freedom fighter Geert Wilders was the keynote speaker; he has been living with armed guards for years for supposedly “insulting Islam.” My colleague Robert Spencer has received numerous death threats from Muslims. Cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin drew Muhammad. Did Obama’s pro-Islam FBI want us all dead?"

Interest in sexual harassment was suppressed to protect Bill Clinton: Is that part of why Harvey Weinstein got away with his abuses?
Now, I'm reading the NYT article "Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them/'This way of treating women ends now,' Ms. Paltrow said as she and other actresses accused the producer of casting-couch abuses," and I'm wondering why only now?
Why not earlier?
What stood in your way?
My hypothesis is that liberals — including nearly everyone in the entertainment business — suppressed concern about sexual harassment to help Bill Clinton.
Giving him cover gave cover to other powerful men, and the cause of women's equality in the workplace was set back 20 years.
...Are these allegations coming out now because Hillary Clinton lost the election and the time for covering for Bill Clinton is over at long last?"

"...But in 1998, when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, Democrats reversed the message.
In the biggest sellout of feminism I've seen in my lifetime, sexual harassment turned into just sex, and those who wanted to take it seriously were derided as prigs.

One in four government workers makes $100K thanks to overtime | New York Post:
"One out of every four New York City government workers pulled in pay of more than $100,000 last year — thanks largely to overtime, according to a new study.
“New York City can be a hub of opportunity, and not just for aspiring Broadway stars. All sorts of city workers earn big bucks,” said Adam Andrzejewski, CEO of the government watchdog OpenTheBooks.com, which conducted the study.
About 37,000 of 295,455 full-time city workers receive a salary that tops $100,000.
But the number jumps to 76,166 when factoring in overtime and other extra pay, the group said.
The supplemental pay accounts for 12 percent of the workers’ total compensation, or more than three times the 3.5 percent rate in the private sector, according to the study.
Some career choices proved particularly lucrative.
Of the 775 school custodians, 694 cleared $100,000 or more.
And of those 694, 398 exceeded $150,000..."

The Democrats' IT scandal just got even more bizarre | Fox News:
"Perhaps you’ve lost track of the Democrats slowly exploding IT scandal, as much of the media is doing all it can to simply ignore it away.
I’m referring to the strange case of Imran Awan, the IT aide Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., kept on her congressional payroll even after it became known he and his wife, Hina Alvi Awan, were being investigated by the Capitol Police for possible theft, fraud, moving terabytes of data off Congress’s system and more."

LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
https://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2017/10/october-11-2017-right-to-bear-arms-by.html
Every time there is a tragedy the
rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens become the target of
those who believe the government knows best. That's not working out
so well in Chicago, Baltimore or other locations where strict gun
laws are in place. Do you want to live in a society where only
criminals and the government have weapons?
The founders knew what they were doing,
which is why the right to bear arms landed in the number two spot in
the Bill of Rights. Look what is happening in our country, the land
of the supposed free. Our First Amendment rights have been under
attack for years. The facts don't lie and they tell a very
concerning story. Our freedom is disappearing.......

The Right to Bear Arms
By Tammy Derouin
Whenever a tragedy strikes there is
always deep sadness for those who were affected and sympathy for
those who lost loved ones. We wonder why? Why does an individual act
out violently? Was there an agenda or did they snap? Facts need to
be gathered and the truth, the whole truth, needs to be exposed.
There is usually more to the story than what is on the surface.
It's the darnedest thing; history keeps
telling the truth. Take a look back. Look what happens to the
population when the government becomes too powerful. A dictator is
put in place, guns are confiscated, a group of people become the
scapegoat for all of society's problems and then people begin to die
at the hand of their own government.
