Ignoring the Samantha Power bombshell
Ignoring the Samantha Power bombshell:
Why is Samantha Power herself so seemingly unconcerned about this violation of public trust?��Wouldn't you expect this brave journalist, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the champion of the people, to be at least a little bit curious as to exactly who it was in the Obama administration who stole her passwords and used her security clearance in such a blatantly undemocratic and unlawful manner?
And wouldn't you expect her to speak up about it?

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace slammed for asking if Melania, Ivanka are 'dead inside' or 'paid off' | Fox News
"MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace is under fire for making a derogatory comment Thursday about first lady Melania Trump and first daughter Ivanka, asking if they are “dead inside” or simply being “paid off.”
"MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace is under fire for making a derogatory comment Thursday about first lady Melania Trump and first daughter Ivanka, asking if they are “dead inside” or simply being “paid off.”
On her show "Deadline: White House" Wallace pondered how women close to the president cope with the ongoing allegations surrounding adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had a consensual sexual encounter with Trump over a decade ago (Trump denies the allegation).
“Are they just the most stoic human beings, are they numb, are they dead inside, are they paid off, I mean, what’s their deal?” Wallace asked.
The comment was immediately panned across social media and by conservative commentators..."

Sucking Carbon Dioxide from the Air to Produce Gasoline? - Hit & Run : Reason.com
Sucking Carbon Dioxide from the Air to Produce Gasoline? - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"Recycling the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by turning it back into fuel would help slow the process of global warming.
An earlier estimate calculated that direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide would be prohibitively expensive at least $600 per ton.
But now Carbon Engineering, located in the British Columbia, has published a detailed engineering and cost analysis of its pilot DAC plant that suggests that its technology can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for $94 to $232 per ton.
The low-end figure is based on a scenario in which electrolysis using no-carbon energy sources breaks apart water to provide both the oxygen and—crucially—the hydrogen needed to combine with the captured carbon dioxide to produce hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline and diesel..."

The lunacy of kicking ‘beauty’ out of the Miss America pageant
The lunacy of kicking ‘beauty’ out of the Miss America pageant:
The Miss America Organization announced this week that it will no longer judge women on their “outward physical appearance.”
...If you hadn’t noticed, physical beauty is a huge part of our economy and our culture.
And before you go on about this showing how sexist or “lookist” American society is, physical beauty is a huge part of literally every culture on earth and has been for all time.
...Moreover, this is not because it’s a “man’s world.”
The glossy women’s magazines are run by women and read by women.
...The point I’m getting at is that beauty pageants are competitions over who is the most beautiful of the bunch.
...No one asks bodybuilders how they would bring about world peace.
Hell, I offer my opinions for a living and I’ve never been asked that question.
Contestants on “American Idol,” ‘‘America’s Got Talent,” ‘‘American Ninja Warrior,” ‘‘Top Chef,” ‘‘Shark Tank” and “America’s Next Top Model,” not to mention Olympic athletes, hope to be the best at what they’re there for.
They aren’t graded on how they answer questions about the Mueller investigation or the Charlottesville white supremacist rally, as happened at the Miss America pageant last year.
...In other words, they want to prove that women — attractive or, presumably, otherwise — can be smart, confident activists and leaders.
Did we not know this already?
Why not just call it the Woke Olympics and be done with it?..."

LOOK OUT: Dems In Senate And House Propose National Firearms Licensing System | Daily Wire:
For the fourth time in 11 years, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) introduced The Blair Holt Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act; he had already introduced a form of the bill in 2007, 2009, and 2013.

Seattle cracks down on renters, free speech – and common sense. Good luck trying to rent an apartment | Fox News
Seattle cracks down on renters, free speech – and common sense. Good luck trying to rent an apartment | Fox News:
"The Seattle City Council seems to think the right to speak is a privilege it can grant or withhold at its pleasure.
It has slapped a year-long ban on the use of certain housing websites that allow renters to place bids on advertised rental housing, while it reviews the sites.
Officials say they fear the sites might violate local housing laws or inflate housing costs, so the City Council wants to study the sites while forbidding their use in the meantime.
While city leaders try to figure things out, landlords are barred from posting ads on the sites, and renters can’t even do a simple search for Seattle housing on the sites.
...the City Council has resurrected a frightening government power – the power to censor speech until the government has decided to approve it.
In First Amendment parlance, a law that forces speakers to receive government approval in advance of speaking (including publishing) is called a prior restraint – the most insidious form of government speech restriction..."

"ILLINOIS IS BETTER OFF BANKRUPT:
“The best hope for a failed state such as Illinois is to let the state go bankrupt.”
"ILLINOIS IS BETTER OFF BANKRUPT:
“The best hope for a failed state such as Illinois is to let the state go bankrupt.”Of course they haven’t, because they’re expecting another bailout."The State of Illinois incurred deficits reaching nearly $15 billion in 2017, and those deficits are projected to double to $30 billion in 2018. Illinois has also accumulated hundreds of billions in unfunded liabilities in public sector pension and health-care plans. This has exposed local jurisdictions to the risk of default or bankruptcy. In response, Illinois has issued large bailouts, further weakening the finances of the state’s government. The courts have exacerbated this problem by ruling the Illinois Constitution mandates state bailouts for public sector pension and health plans.Fiscal rules in Illinois have been ineffective in constraining deficits and debt. Illinois, like 48 other states, has a balanced budget provision in its state constitution. But, in recent years, the state legislature has failed to pass a budget at all — let alone one that would balance revenues and expenditures.
In April 2018, a constitutional amendment to cap the rate of growth in spending at the rate of growth in the state economy was introduced in Illinois’ legislature. A majority of Illinois state legislators have yet to show support for such a fiscal rule.

WATCH: Pelosi Throws Jab At Trump, Knocks Herself Out | Daily Wire: House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi misled a group of reporters during a press briefing on Thursday as she downplayed the current unemployment rate and said what really matters is consumer confidence — something she suggested that only the Democrats' plan can increase — despite being at an 18-year high.
