The World Is Better Than Ever And Continues To Improve. Why Do People Consistently Believe Otherwise? | Science 2.0

The World Is Better Than Ever And Continues To Improve. Why Do People Consistently Believe Otherwise? | Science 2.0
See the source image"Worldwide poverty has dropped dramatically, we are in the Long Peace when it comes to war, the old cycles of famine boom and bust have leveled off, science has made it possible for everyone to live better for longer and spend less on basic necessities.
The world continues to improve. 
Why, then, do polls consistently show that people believe otherwise? 
The answer may lie in a phenomenon called "prevalence induced concept change."
That means that each generation feels the need to 'live in important times.' 
If things are good, then a poorly written article can be spread Twitter as a reason only corporations should be in science media. 
As the prevalence of a problem is reduced, humans redefine the problem itself.
As the problem becomes smaller, people's conceptualizations of that problem become larger, which can lead them to miss the fact that they've solved it..."

Democrats Endorse Judicial Tyranny

Democrats Endorse Judicial Tyranny:

Image result for flickr commons images judge gavelBecause Democrats have used the Court to impose their will on the people, they know that if the Court returns to its constitutional role as an impartial interpreter of the Constitution, the entire Democrat edifice -- ranging from ObamaCare to redefining marriage -- is at risk of tumbling down.
Of course, the Democrats really never had a choice; their policies are toxic and rejected by most people so that they could never have been passed through the democratic process.
But their winning run is about to end, and they’re furious because they know that they are better, more caring, and smarter than the rest of us. In their minds, denying them tyrannical powers is an affront to nature, and they’ve long since given up on the idea that there is a God who gives us unalienable rights.
That’s why they accept violence and incivility against people who simply stand for the Constitution; because Democrats can’t convince Americans they have to coerce them.

California university works to reduce number of white people on campus - The College Fix
"Cal Poly San Luis Obispo works on massive diversity and inclusion effort
See the source imageIn keeping with the diversity and inclusion movement sweeping campuses across the country, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo recently released a 30-page report outlining plans to “improve diversity” via a series of initiatives.
One goal is to increase the number of people of color on campus beyond the increases that have already occurred over the past few years, as “applications from underrepresented minority students doubled between 2008 and 2018.”
“In 2011, the campus was 63 percent Caucasian,” the May 2 report informs readers, “in fall of 2017, it was less than 55 percent but there is still much work to do.”
...“To further advance its goals of reflecting the demographics of California and creating a more diverse and inclusive campus community, Cal Poly administration has developed the following Diversity Action Initiatives document,” the report states.
In it, administration details a multi-year effort with dozens of initiatives, including ones to further lower the percentage of white students on campus and increase the number of faculty of color..."

Turkey’s economic crisis has just begun | Asia Times
"What happens next may look like Greece during its financial collapse – meaning Turkey’s economy could shrink by 10%-20%
The Turkish central bank managed to halt the free-fall of the country’s currency last week with a sharp rise in interest rates. But the move failed to stop the free-fall of Turkey’s equity market and – far more dangerous – the collapse of the credit quality of Turkey’s banks. 
...Turkey’s banks are shut out of world capital markets, and the country is hard put to raise the US$50 billion in new hard currency it needs to finance a current account deficit running at around 6% of GDP..."

The abortion case that could decide the fate of Trump's court pick - Washington Times

The case involved a girl identified only as Jane Doe, who came to the U.S. last year as part of the surge of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC). She was sent to one of the cushy dorms that have been in the news as of late, and after being given an entry medical exam was told she was pregnant.

The Death Of Europe: Another 700,000 Muslim Migrants Await Their Turn To Invade The Comatose West
No country or culture can survive this continuous, massive invasion from the third world. 
To think, Europe once defended itself from invading hordes of the Islamic world, now... they're allowing the hordes to conquer them. 
We are witnessing the death of a once-great civilization. 
President Trump is protecting us from this brutal fate. 

We owe SCOTUS an enormous debt of gratitude for backing him up.
EXCERPT: Hundreds of thousands of migrants are waiting in Libya to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, according to Britain's National Crime Agency.
 It warned that Italy’s refusal to take stranded ships had created a bottleneck of 700,000 waiting in the North African country.
...Iraqi Kurds, Afghan and Albanian gangs were the most prolific people smugglers to the UK. Since the destruction of the Jungle camp in Calais in 2016, the issue had shifted to Belgium, he said.

And what happens after they get to Europe?
50% of British Muslim males and 70% of females are on benefits.

The lack of a proper work ethic in Islamic culture is possibly a large cause behind the refugee movement and helps to explain why Muslims’ eyes are always focused on the outside, non-Muslim world, the greener pastures, for more and more to conquer or expand into..."

New Army fitness standards. Now no push-ups, sit-ups

New Army fitness standards. Now no push-ups, sit-ups
"Every time the military changes their fitness requirements lately it leads to controversy. 
This is mostly because so many of the recent changes created at least the suggestion that accommodations were being made for female recruits, or perhaps even males who couldn’t meet the traditional standards. 
...Rather than doing two minutes of push-ups and two minutes of sit-ups, new exercises are being added which supposedly better simulate physical demands encountered on the battlefield. (Washington Times)
The Army Physical Fitness Test that soldiers have known since the 1980s — 2 minutes of pushups; 2 minutes of situps; the 2-mile run — will be retired before the end of the decade. While the 2-mile run will still conclude the assessment, five other events seen as a better predictor of successfully completing combat tasks have been added.
“The Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT] will ignite a generational, cultural change in Army fitness and become a cornerstone of individual Soldier combat readiness,” Maj. Gen. Malcolm Frost, commander of the Army’s Center of Initial Military Training, said Monday. “It will reduce attrition and it will reduce musculoskeletal injuries and actually save, in the long run, the Army a heck of a lot of money.”
So they’re doing away with the sit-ups. 
The standard push-ups are gone, but they’re being replaced with a different style of push-up..."

Two fresh faces from NY – and both are dangerous - Israel National News

Two fresh faces from NY – and both are dangerous - Israel National News:
"Does it make me sexist if I refer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a pretty woman?
Well she sure is prettier than Rep. Joe Crowley, the Dem heavyweight she beat for District 14, which makes this femme fatale a rising star for the Party, and she did not do it on looks alone.
The lady is young, witty, smart, and most definitely anti-Semitic.
That makes her a shoo-in when she runs as a self-described Democratic Socialist. 
The Bernie Sanders wing, which includes Keith Ellison and Tom Perez – they love that type.
They love it even more when she talks dirty like Farrakhan, blaming the Jews for everything. 
Just listen to her. 
She knows the whole story about that and everything else, and she’s only 28.
No doubt about it – she is a quick learner from the schools that brought us Obama’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who preached hatred of America and Israel Sunday to Sunday..."
