Flashback: Obama prosecuted staff leakers, gave lie-detector tests, ‘paranoid’
Flashback: Obama prosecuted staff leakers, gave lie-detector tests, ‘paranoid’
"...According to reports at the time from even New York Times journalists, no administration was tougher on leakers and punishing to the media than Obama’s, a saga reinforced by reporters who have called Trump’s team more forthcoming.
Criticism of Obama’s attacks on the media and leakers did not just come in tweets and TV appearances by journalists but in an official report from the Committee to Protect Journalists...
“This is the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered,” said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times, in the report.
USA Today said of the report, it “portrays an administration gripped by strict policies about information flow and paranoid about leaks across all executive branch departments.”
It detailed prosecutions and even the use of lie-detectors on staffers.
...it was Obama who took the war to a higher level by targeting staff and reporters while also cutting out the media to promote its story via social media..."

The Most Dangerous Countries in Europe for Women Have Large Muslim Immigration | Frontpage Mag
"Sweden has one of Europe’s highest rates of sexual assaults.
At 120.79 violent sexual assaults per 100,000 people, and 56 rapes per 100,000, the otherwise bleak socialist country ranks as having the second highest rate of sexual violence in Europe.
What makes Sweden so exceptionally dangerous for women?
Its militant feminism is embedded in its political culture and its educational system.
Sweden has boasted of a “feminist foreign policy”, 61% of Swedes in one survey identified as feminists and hold the strongest views on “gender equality” of any Europeans.
...So what went wrong?
...neighboring Finland...has a third of Sweden’s rape rates and a quarter of its sexual assault rates.
...What could possibly explain the difference?
Finland is also fairly feminist, but the Muslim proportion of its population is only a third of Sweden.
Finland has a third of Sweden’s Muslim population proportion and a third of its rape rate..."

Byron York: On Trump-Russia, too much secrecy keeps public in dark
Byron York: On Trump-Russia, too much secrecy keeps public in dark:
Today, the culture of secrecy is keeping the public from learning some basic facts about the Trump-Russia affair, even as newscasts and newspapers are filled with reporting, speculation, and debate about it. When it comes to allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election, the Justice Department and other agencies have withheld information from the public because such information is classified, or because it is purportedly critical to an ongoing investigation, or because officials just want to keep the Department's secrets secret.

Senate Democrats Prove They’re Unfit to Govern�The American Spectator
Senate Democrats Prove They’re Unfit to GovernThe American Spectator:
But the Democrats have shown themselves to be utterly irresponsible in the discharge of their constitutional duties in this process. Their frivolous objections to proceeding with the hearings, despicable coordination with protesters whose antics were so disgusting that the nominee had to remove his children from the room, and their lack of real concern for any issue unrelated to removing the President from office reveal that the Democrats are too corrupt to be trusted with real power anytime soon.
