"Mark Levin: “Donald Trump Is in the Clear” – The Cohen Hush Money Payment IS NOT an In Kind Campaign Contribution... Obama Did It Also
"I could spend two hours writing out what Mark Levin sums up in 3 minutes.
All day long, every cable network had their so-called "legal experts" on, claiming the Cohen verdict is the end for Trump. 
BS! 
Not one of them got it right or even comprehends what happened in the plea agreement on Tuesday.
Trump attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty Tuesday to eight counts — including two campaign finance violations involving payments to silence women he believed could be detrimental to the 2016 presidential campaign as part of the plea agreement. 
But... that's not a crime. 
It's not a crime to pay off someone with a Non Disclosure Agreement. 
Cohen most likely had 20 charges and Mueller made a deal with him to plead guilty to the 6 counts and he threw the two counts of payments in as a way to make it look like Trump was guilty of something. 
The problem for Mueller is, it's not illegal.
The former FEC Chairman, Professor Bradley Smith also said the payment Cohen pleaded guilty to DOES NOT qualify as campaign violations. https://therightscoop.com/former-fec-chairman-tells-mark-l…/
If that were the case, then Obama would be charged for doing it also.

The Mollie Tibbetts story isn't getting much play on the progressive outlets.

The Mollie Tibbetts story isn't getting much play on the progressive outlets. 
The lack of coverage is due to 5 factors they deem not important enough:
1. She was white.
2. She was from a flyover state (Iowa)
3. She was murdered by a member of a class progressives protect (illegal aliens)
4. Her murder supports President Trump's premise that strong border enforcement is necessary
5. Other than those, it is clearly just a local crime story not worthy of national coverage.
You would think with all the anti-rape culture/sexual violence protests out there, the fact a female was murdered by a male would bring some attention - but what this shows is that protecting illegal aliens is far more important to the progressive left than protecting women.

The College Textbook Pricing Racket | Intellectual Takeout

The College Textbook Pricing Racket | Intellectual Takeout:
"The business of selling college textbooks is a racket. 
As Ernie Smith of Atlas Obscura notes, it has a long history.
Every academic year a new edition of practically every college textbook is released by the publisher.
The prices of college textbooks are horrendously high, sometimes in excess of $200. 
See the source imageSince textbooks are required reading in almost every college course, students must buy or rent the newest, and thus the most expensive, edition.
...Sometimes publishers contact professors asking them to write textbooks.
The profit motive for publishers is immense.
So is it for the professor who writes a widely used textbook.
Royalties from a single book have been known to pay entire mortgages.
But why do college textbook publishers charge so much? 
George Washington University political science professor Henry Farrell offers an explanation:
“College textbook publishers charge vast and extortionate amounts for their textbooks for one simple reason.
They do it because they can. 
Students usually have to take a few required big courses for their major, and they have to buy the required textbooks for these courses.
 This means that the market is price insensitive (which is economic jargon for saying that demand doesn’t go down as much as it should when prices go up)..."

Senators Introduce Bill That Would Require State and Local Governments To Use Paper Ballots in an Effort To Secure Elections

Senators Introduce Bill That Would Require State and Local Governments To Use Paper Ballots in an Effort To Secure Elections
"On Tuesday, nine Senators introduced a bill that would require state and local governments to use paper ballots in an effort to secure elections from hackers. The bill would also require rigorous audits for all federal elections to ensure that results match the votes. "Leaving the fate of America's democracy up to hackable election machines is like leaving your front door open, unlocked and putting up a sign that says 'out of town,'" Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, said in a release. "Any failure to secure our elections amounts to disenfranchising American voters." The Protecting American Votes and Elections Act of 2018 was drafted amid intense scrutiny of voting systems ahead of the mid-term elections in November. Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has elevated concern over the security of the country's voting systems. The senators said rigorous audits will ensure votes are legitimate. Currently, 22 states don't require post-election audits, according to the release."

Let there be light bulbs! Trump looks to flip switch on Obama ban

Let there be light bulbs! Trump looks to flip switch on Obama ban:

Image result for Incandescent Bulb LumensAn Obama administration decision to ban incandescent light bulbs was based on a misunderstanding of the law, according to the Department of Energy, meaning those faithful products that had been in use for a century may be returning.
The development in a war that began when Congress restricted some bulbs to increase energy efficiency during the George W. Bush administration was reported by Tim Nerozzi at AMI Newswire.
The original campaign to ban incandescent bulbs was criticized as one of the “most blatantly unconstitutional and amazingly stupid congressional acts,” inspiring the creation of a bumper sticker that states “I’m pro-choice on lightbulbs.”
Opponents of the ban argued incandescents have benefits not offered by alternatives.
