“When you compare women and men who are doing the same job and have similar educational backgrounds and experience, the wage gap all but disappears. The whole ‘women make 77 cents for every dollar men make,’ line, no matter how many times the Left says it, is absolutely false when you compare apples to apples,” the conservative non-profit argued.

In fact, according to Heritage, “twenty-something women without children, living in metropolitan areas, earn 8 percent more on average than their male counterparts, according to 2008 Census data.”

B Hunt wrote:
I live in SW Utah.
I grew up on a ranch less than 100 miles from the Bundy's ranch.
My father knows Cliven Bundy.
I know Cliven's son Ryan.
This is not a hoax, it is an action of force by the BLM.
The BLM was going to sell the cattle at one of the smallest cattle markets in Utah.
No cattle markets in Nevada would take the cattle without a properly signed brand inspection
...Now, for Cliven Bundy, he's not fighting this for his cattle or his own livelihood.

He recognizes that he will probably die before this fight is over.

He has said multiple times that he is fighting this to wake people up about the tyranny of the Federal Government and also to help wake up the western states about getting the rights to their own land back from the federal government, which has repeatedly shut down ranchers and closed off land. "

Stock Market Crash

Stock Market Crash - Business Insider:
"One of the oldest sayings on Wall Street is "Don't fight the Fed."
This saying has meaning in both directions, when the Fed is easing and when it is tightening.
A glance at these charts shows why.
On the positive side, the Fed's tightening phases have often lasted a year or two before stock prices peaked and began to drop.
So even if you're convinced that sustained Fed tightening now will likely lead to a sharp stock-price pullback at some point, the bull market might still have a ways to run.
So those are three reasons why the stock market could experience much more than a garden-variety "correction" — price, profit margins, and Fed tightening.
None of this means for sure that the market will crash or that you should sell stocks (I own stocks, and I'm not selling them.)
It does mean, however, that you should be mentally prepared for the possibility of a major pullback and lousy long-term returns.
So if the recent stock weakness turns out to be the start of a major pullback, don't say you weren't warned!"

Feds to Ban Junk Food in Schools

Feds to Ban Junk Food in Schools | The Weekly Standard:
"The government is putting its (big) foot down.
No more junk food in schools.

As Danica Lo of Epicurious writes:
New rules for school food kick in this July -- and for kids going back to school in the fall, it's sad sad news (okay, not really sad, but healthy healthy news).
According to new regulations being instituted by the USDA, junk food is now totally verboten -- in school vending machines, stores, and lunchrooms. 
That means that fruits, veggies, whole grains, and dairy are good to go -- high-sodium, high-sugar, and high-fat foods are not.
Rules, as we all know, exist to be both enforced and broken and it will be interesting to see how far the Feds will go to make sure the rules are obeyed.
Will it be a zero tolerance regime?
First time offenders getting thrown in the jug for carrying concealed candy bars?"

Oppressive governments deny inalienable rights, rights which so many Americans have taken for granted.  Our freedoms and liberties are sacred gifts and should be carefully guarded.  Instead, Americans have become careless.  We no longer value our freedom; we freely give away our priceless rights.  

Sharyl Attkisson: When I'd Begin Getting Under Surface of an Obama Scandal, CBS Would Pull Me Off

Sharyl Attkisson: When I'd Begin Getting Under Surface of an Obama Scandal, CBS Would Pull Me Off | Truth Revolt:
"…Just before Christmas came word that the top security official, the computer person who still works there at HHS, had refused to sign off and recommended, in fact, that this web site not go live because of all the security issues.
That was not considered a big enough story, I suppose, is the way to put it by those who decide what goes on the air.
I thought it was hugely important, because this is an insider, someone who works in the Obama administration who had made this assessment. 
If you look at having had something like that occur with a private corporation that proceeded to go online with all of these alleged security risks, I think the government would be very upset by that if the tables were turned.
Here it was the United States government doing it."

UN urges huge increase in green energy to avert climate disaster

UN urges huge increase in green energy to avert climate disaster | Environment | The Observer

Mitigation of Climate Change, by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a panel of 200 scientists, will make it clear that by far the most realistic option for the future is to triple or even quadruple the use of renewable power plants. 
Only through such decisive action will carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere be kept below the critical level of 480 parts per million (ppm), before the middle of the century. 
If levels go beyond this figure, the chances of curtailing global mayhem are poor, they will say.

The report – the third in a series by the IPCC designed to highlight the climate crisis now facing the planet – is intended as an urgent wake-up call to nations to commit around 1-2% of GDP in order to replace power plants that burn fossil fuels, the major cause of global warming, with renewable sources.

Hercules Actor Kevin Sorbo: Hollywood, Media Ignoring ‘The Crime of the Century’ | CNS News

Hercules Actor Kevin Sorbo: Hollywood, Media Ignoring ‘The Crime of the Century’ | CNS News: "Kevin Sorbo says “this is a story that needs to be told” and “if the media won’t do their job, then we can do it ourselves. We can and we must. During the 30 years of Gosnell’s killing spree, many people knew what was going on and did nothing. It’s almost impossible to believe but it’s true.”

“This story has had almost no media coverage because the media are so agenda-driven, they don’t want to report on it,” Sorbo says.  “But it’s a story that needs to be told. But for reasons you can probably guess, it has thus far been ignored. No one wants to talk about it because the details are too damaging to certain political agendas.”"

"Will: I’m quite confident that we’re going to rebel against this abusive government. I think that, you know Winston Churchill said, “The American people invariably do the right thing after they have exhausted all the alternatives.” And I think we’re beginning to get to the bottom of the list of alternatives, and to realize that arithmetic is inexorable. You can’t make 2+2 equal 7, and sooner or later arithmetic is going to force realism upon us.

I’m quite confident that we’re going to rebel against this abusive government."

Moron students don't get connection between school tuition and school employee compensation-----MSU students march to protest tuition increases, lack of student voice

MSU students march to protest tuition increases, lack of student voice | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
"The march would be about many things.
Debt was one of them.
On the marchers’ list of demands were a tuition freeze and a return to the funding levels for higher education that prevailed before Gov. Rick Snyder took office. 
They want that funding tied to minority enrollment and retention rates and 50 percent student representation on the university’s Board of Trustees.

...“Student debt rises every year,” he said. “Tuition goes up every . I think it’s a start of something, students saying, ‘We’ve had enough.’ ”
Most students at MSU graduate without any debt at all, but for those who do, the amounts they owe have risen consistently.
According to the Project on Student Debt, 41 percent of the graduating class of 2008 had debt and owed $17,347 on average. For the graduating class of 2012, 46 percent had borrowed and owed $24,987.
Tuition has risen by 90 percent over the last decade (by just over 50 percent after adjusting for inflation), though the university has also dramatically increased the financial aid it offers to low-income students.
“Student unionism has emerged as a voice for the students that exists outside of the institution,” said Duncan Tarr, a sophomore.
“It’s autonomous. It doesn’t get its power through handouts from the administration.”

Global Warming Loon: “I’d Like Nothing Better Than If Thousands of Middle-Class White People Died In An Extreme Weather Event”… | Weasel Zippers:

Via Climate Nuremberg:

Part of being a science communicator is hoping a natural disaster kills as many members of the audience as possible, as soon as possible, with as much media exposure as possible. As a communicator myself, I’d like nothing better than if thousands of middle-class white people died in an extreme weather event—preferably one with global warming’s fingerprints on it. Live on cable news. Tomorrow.The hardest thing about communicating the deadliness of the climate problem is that it isn’t killing anyone. And just between us, let’s be honest: the average member of the public is a bit (how can I put it politely?) of a moron. It’s all well and good for the science to tell us global warming is more dangerous than Nazism, but Joe Q. Flyover doesn’t understand science. He wants evidence.So we’ve probably reached the limits of what science communication can achieve. At this point only nature herself can close the consensus gap—or the fear gap.

Large Study Finds Vegetarians Have Poorer Health, Lower Quality of Life Than Meat-Eaters

RealClearScience - Large Study Finds Vegetarians Have Poorer Health, Lower Quality of Life Than Meat-Eaters:
"A vegetarian diet is associated with higher rates of allergies, cancer, and mental illness, as well as a poorer quality of life compared to carnivorous diets, according to a new study.
The research, published in February in the journal PLoS ONE, surveyed 1,320 Austrians, evenly portioned to four different nutritional groups: a vegetarian diet, a carnivorous diet rich in fruits and vegetables, a carnivorous diet less rich in meat, and a carnivorous diet rich in meat.
Subjects were matched based on age, sex, income, education, and occupation.
All information was attained through face-to-face interviews.
The results were bleak for vegetarians.
"Overall, vegetarians are in a poorer state of health compared to the other dietary habit groups," the authors reported.
Vegetarians suffered from higher rates of allergies, cancer, anxiety, and depression. 
They were also vaccinated less often than all of the other groups, and visited the doctor for preventative check-ups less frequently than subjects eating a carnivorous diet rich in fruits and vegetables."

EPA coal rules leaving US vulnerable to power blackouts? | Fox News

EPA coal rules leaving US vulnerable to power blackouts? | Fox News:

"Facing the Obama administration's so-called "war on coal," some utility officials are warning that fewer coal-fired power plants could leave the U.S. power system vulnerable to blackouts in the near future.
The officials warn that intense summer heat or extreme winter cold could soon be too much for the system to handle.

"I worry about the potential of brownouts and blackouts if we're ... actually depending on this generation that's going to be retired," Nick Akins, from American Electric Power, told Fox News in an interview.
Pro-coal advocates say the administration's focus on its environmental agenda challenges the reliability of the nation's power grid. "
