Investigative report suggests Mueller hired Steele! - WND:
"A new report from RealClearInvestigation documents how FBI special counsel Robert Mueller spent nearly three quarters of a million dollars on “outside contractors” for his “Russia collusion” report.

Declaration of Independence: Facebook censored a post for 'hate speech.' - The Washington Post"At first glance, the Vindicator’s Facebook promotion did not seem designed to make waves.
The small newspaper, based out of Liberty, a Texas town of 9,175 outside of Houston, planned to post the Declaration of Independence on Facebook in 12 daily installments leading up to the Fourth of July — 242 years since the document was adopted at the Second Continental Congress in 1776.
But on the 10th day, the Vindicator’s latest installment was removed by Facebook.
The company told the newspaper that the particular passage, which included the phrase “merciless Indian Savages,” went against its “standards on hate speech,” the newspaper wrote.
The story about how Facebook had censored one of the United States’ founding texts on the grounds that it was hate speech has traveled around the world..."

Hillary's tech guy: Many hack attempts on Clinton email server - WND:
The details come from emails obtained by investigators and located by BizPacReview, which describes how Clinton aide Huma Abedin once responded with a terse “OMG” when she was notified in the middle of the night the system was shut down because of unrelenting attacks.
The report explains Clinton used the private, unsecured email servers from 2009 to 2013. She later was investigated for that, but the FBI director at the time, James Comey, fired later by President Trump, told Americans Clinton was “extremely careless” with national secrets but would not be charged.

18, a member of the STEM School Highlands Ranch robotics team and a “total nerd,” wanted to be an electrical engineer.
He died, three days before he would have graduated from his Colorado school, tackling a shooter in his British literature class.
Castillo, who’d planned to start at a community college in the fall, worked part-time at a manufacturing company.
Classmates said he saved their lives.
A family friend said he’s involved in his church, participated in Boy Scouts and holds an after-school job.
He escaped without injury.
“I don’t like the idea of running and hiding,” Bialy told a news conference Wednesday afternoon, reports Sam Tabachnik in the Denver Post.
When the gunman entered the classrom, Castillo lunged “like a bowling ball,” Bialy told reporters. Despite his “absolute fear,” Bialy moved to help his friend.
They knocked the gun out of the shooter’s hand.
An Army ROTC cadet, he was buried with full military honors.
Howell grew up on a farm in the Great Smoky Mountains, a natural athlete and a risk taker, his family told the New York Times.
He worked at a landscaping company and was fascinated by horticulture.
Instead of giving school shooters the notoriety they seek, let’s honor our heroes.
Survivors of the STEM School shooting walked out of a vigil for Kendrick Castillo to protest speeches by politicians and gun-control advocates, reports KUSA.
Students chanted “mental health” and vilified the media, reported the Denver Post. Later, “the students returned, and some of them took the microphone, saying their grief was being used for political purposes.”

Senate Dems' social media poll finds more users want Supreme Court justices like Kavanaugh than Ginsburg | Fox News
Senate Dems' social media poll finds more users want Supreme Court justices like Kavanaugh than Ginsburg | Fox News:
A Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Twitter poll asking what type of Supreme Court justices social media users would like to have on the bench apparently backfired when 71 percent of respondents selected “justices like Brett Kavanaugh” compared to just 29 percent who chose “justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”
The poll, which is not scientific and open to anyone with a Twitter account, was posted on May 3 and stated it had two more days before it closed.
However, by Sunday afternoon, the tweet had vanished.

Empirical Study: Indoctrinated US Climate Activist Kids can be Used to Influence their Conservative Parents | Watts Up With That?Guest essay by Eric Worrall
According to the abstract this propaganda technique, indoctrinating children with educational material deliberately designed to help them influence parents, is particularly effective on Conservative men when the influencer is their daughter.
Children can foster climate change concern among their parentsPublished: 06 May 2019--...The collective action that is required to mitigate and adapt to climate change is extremely difficult to achieve, largely due to socio-ideological biases that perpetuate polarization over climate change. Because climate change perceptions in children seem less susceptible to the influence of worldview or political context, it may be possible for them to inspire adults towards higher levels of climate concern, and in turn, collective action...The effects were strongest among male parents and conservative parents, who, consistent with previous research, displayed the lowest levels of climate concern before the intervention. Daughters appeared to be especially effective in influencing parents. Our results suggest that intergenerational learning may overcome barriers to building climate concern.Read more (paywalled): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-019-0463-3
Sadly the study is paywalled, so we don’t know who in North Carolina authorised this experiment, and whether parents gave full informed consent before their children were used by greens as social engineering guinea pigs."
