Phillips said that what Venezuelan socialism victims told him is that socialism is the "greatest threat" to America.
Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips joined Fox & Friends Friday to discuss his latest video in which Venezuelan socialism victims warned Americans:
Be careful what you wish for.
“You do not ever want anything close to socialism."
"People are eating from trash cans in the streets."
"It's a gradual process. Little by little, power is taken away from the people." Those were just a few of the comments from protesters at the Washington, D.C. event...
Anti-Americanism: As German as Apple Strudel | Homeland Security
"...Eighty-five percent of respondents in an Atlantik-Brücke survey, reported FAZ, view the U.S. either “negatively” or “very negatively.”
Many Germans look more favorably upon Communist China than upon the U.S.; more than half would like Germany to distance itself further from the U.S., with only thirteen percent wanting a closer relationship. Germans aren’t big on NATO, either:
Only a quarter of those surveyed think their country should pay its agreed-upon share of the NATO budget. ...None of this is remotely surprising.
The recent discovery that Claas Relotius, a star reporter for Germany’s leading newsmagazine, Der Spiegel, had invented more than a dozen negative news stories about America drew renewed attention to the fact that, with or without Relotius onboard, Der Spiegel has long been a poisonously anti-American rag whose cover stories routinely depict America as a cartoon villain.
As James Kirchick wrote in a commentary for The Atlantic, “Relotius told them what they wanted -- what they expected -- to hear about America.”
The fact that his stories, many of them patently absurd, not only made it past Der Spiegel’s editors and fact-checkers but also didn’t raise readers’ eyebrows “revealed ugliness,” argued Kirchick, “within the publication as well as German society more broadly.”
Yep.
...But in fact German anti-Americanism has nothing to do with Trump.
Of course anti-Americanism exists everywhere in the world, and especially in Europe, whose political and cultural elites viewed the democratic U.S. from the moment of its founding with aristocratic disdain.
But contempt for the U.S. has always been especially intense -- and irrational -- in Germany, which has its own distinctive reasons (if that’s the right word) for despising the superpower across the sea..." Read all!
Proponents of abortion bills say they are pushing for women's reproductive rights, but three survivors of the procedure say it is a human rights issue. All three survived even though their birth mothers attempted to abort them.
New York triggered a firestorm of debate after publicly celebrating a bill that allows abortion in many cases up to the point of birth and decriminalizing the act that can now be performed by a non-doctor. Then, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, amid a state abortion bill debate, made comments that were perceived as infanticide, saying the child, post-birth, would be "resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired."

Newly released internal FBI emails showed the agency's highest-ranking officials scrambling to answer to Hillary Clinton's lawyer in the days prior to the 2016 presidential election, on the same day then-FBI Director James Comey sent a bombshell letter to Congress announcing a new review of hundreds of thousands of potentially classified emails found on former Rep. Anthony Weiner's laptop.
The trove of documents turned over by the FBI, in response to a lawsuit by the transparency group Judicial Watch, also included discussions by former FBI lawyer Lisa Page concerning a potential quid pro quo between the State Department and the FBI -- in which the FBI would agree to effectively hide the fact that a Clinton email was classified in exchange for more legal attache positions that would benefit the FBI abroad, and allow them to send more agents to countries where the FBI's access is ordinarily restricted.
Where Is The Outrage Over Corporate Welfare?
"I recently read the February 24 Good Jobs First report, “Subsidizing the Corporate One Percent,” by Philip Mattera, a respected thought leader in our business.
It says that three-quarters of all state economic development subsidies went to just 965 corporations since the beginning of the study in 1976.
The Fortune 500 corporations alone accounted for more than 16,000 subsidy awards, worth $63 billion – mostly in the form of tax breaks.
Think about that.
The largest, wealthiest, most powerful organizations in the world are on the public dole. Where is the outrage?..." Read all.
Whitmer signs directive prohibiting LGBTQ discrimination on religious grounds | News Hits
"Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Monday signed an executive directive that will help protect the LGBTQ community from discrimination in state employment and contracting.
A similar December directive issued by then-Gov. Rick Snyder barred state contractors from discriminating against gay or transgender employees, but included a "religious freedom" exemption that allowed churches and other religious organizations to discriminate. Whitmer's directive — which she signed at Affirmations, an LGBTQ center in Ferndale — requires holy rollers to follow the same rules.
In a press release, state Sen. Jeremy Moss — Michigan's first openly gay senator — outlined what the directive does.
...to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression — which will now be consistent with the action taken by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission in May 2017.
“If we're going to attract the talented workforce our businesses need to create jobs and grow our economy, then we’ve got to get on the right side of history,” Whitmer said in a news release. “That’s what this executive directive is all about."
In his release, Moss said the legislature still has work to do "to ensure full equality for the entire LGBT community."
"...However, a Leadville resident who went into labor while on the road to Vail was able to give birth at the St. Anthony Copper Mountain clinic last month ...While the clinic was considered a “ski clinic,” it is equipped to function as an urgent care, or an emergency care facility in certain cases. ...The clinic had just closed when Jaci and Tracy arrived at the ambulance bay.
Tracy pleaded for help from the remaining staff, telling them that Jaci’s contractions were speeding up and the baby was on the way.
The clinic’s nurses, physicians and staff sprung into action, preparing the young mother for birth. Their help came not a minute too soon.
...Within minutes, a new life entered the world in the form of a baby girl named Mackenzie.
She was born at a healthy 5 pound, 7 ounces and without the need for oxygen after birth, a rarity for Leadville babies.
...Luckily for the Vincents, the clinic at Copper was there exactly when they needed it.
To recognize little Mackenzie’s amazing birth story and to pay tribute to the folks who helped make it happen, the baby got a very fitting middle name.
It will be interesting to see how the Democratic Party’s presidential hopefuls react to Omar’s comments, which has increasing currency in the activist wing of their party. On this issue, there is a big rift opening between young and old. That does not bode well for the establishment or Jews.
LIZ SHELD’S MORNING BRIEF: Omar is sorry, deal or no deal, and much, much more. “What does this even mean, that El Paso is safe IN SPITE OF walls? There are walls all over the place in the U.S., like in banks, hospitals, state houses…? Beto’s house has walls. When Beto was a congressman, there were all kinds of walls to get into the building where his office was in Washington D.C., is he kidding?”---Posted by Stephen Green"

Another One Bites the Dust: Wisconsin Wind Farm Decommissioned After Just 20 Years - American Experiment:
The short usable lifespan of a wind turbine is one of the most important, but least-talked about subjects in energy policy.
In contrast to wind, coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants can run for a very long time. Coal and natural gas plants can easily run for 50 years, and nuclear plants can be updated and retrofitted to run for 60 years. This has profound implications for the cost of electricity on a per megawatt hour basis that seemingly no one is talking about.
...None of this is remotely surprising.
