Tucker Cites Former Boeing CEO’s Massive Golden Parachute As A Reason Why ‘Americans Are Warming Up To Socialism’ | The Daily Caller:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson cited fired Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg’s multi-million dollar golden parachute as an example of why many Americans “are warming” to socialism.
Despite the fact that under Muilenburg’s leadership the company’s newest 737 airplanes were grounded “following several horrifying crashes” and “production is being suspended,” the former CEO will walk away with over $26 million and up to $50 million “depending on the final terms of the settlement,” Carlson said on Friday night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” before noting that the average Boeing employee “might make $60,000 a year.”

UC-Berkeley threatened with lawsuit for mandatory diversity statements in hiring | The College Fix

UC-Berkeley threatened with lawsuit for mandatory diversity statements in hiring | The College Fix

"...The six-page document analyzes the taxpayer-funded institution’s new focus on hiring job candidates based on “knowledge, past contributions, and/or future plans for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.” 

If candidates didn’t meet UC-Berkeley’s standards in this area, they weren’t hired.

...When applicants are required to submit a diversity statement on their own experience, university reviewers would likely be able to tell the applicants’ race and gender, “allowing those factors to be taken into account,” Ortner said...

...White males, who are supposed to be eliminated by this kind of search, were also significantly whittled away. In contrast, Hispanics and African Americans were considerably enriched, with the proportions on the final shortlist (interviewees) enriched by 4.5-fold and 3.25-fold respectively..."

John Hayward on Twitter: "How can it be that not a single one of the Democrat presidential nominees understands that attacking a U.S. embassy is an act of war? Did their brains all short-circuit forever when they were carrying water for Obama and Clinton after Benghazi?"

How can it be that not a single one of the Democrat presidential nominees understands that attacking a U.S. embassy is an act of war? Did their brains all short-circuit forever when they were carrying water for Obama and Clinton after Benghazi?

   They'll say anything. Trump did it, it's pure evil.
   I'm more worried about the people following me who actually think defending a US embassy and personnel with military force is a Jewish plot

Donald Trump's Immigration Judges Boost Deportation Numbers

Donald Trump's Immigration Judges Boost Deportation Numbers:

President Donald Trump’s new immigration judges are far more likely to reject migrants’ requests for asylum than are the judges prior presidents picked.
Four Trump immigration judges in Memphis, Tennessee, denied more than 90 percent of claims from migrants, while the prior judges granted roughly half of the requests, according to a study by immigration lawyer Lily Axelrod.

Aussies Betrayed by their government!---WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 5% ?----Air-Climate-Energy

Air-Climate-Energy--Max Michael 

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 5% ?
Every inquiry in our nation’s history after major bushfires has called for increasing hazard reduction burns.
The Royal Commission a decade ago in the ‘Black Saturday’ Bushfires recommended that a minimum of 5% of public lands be burnt annually.
In Victoria, that should have seen 770,000 hectares of hazard reduction burns undertaken over the past two years. Instead just 204,000 hectares was burnt off. That’s more than half a million hectares short.
And it’s actually worse, because it’s not only the failure to undertake the hazard reduction burns, it’s also the closure of the forestry industry, the red & green tape reducing land clearing, and the locking up of the national parks.
And in what’s no surprise, the ‘Hazard Reduction Burn Deniers Club’ are the very same people seeking to blame ‘climate change’ for their failures - for they think bushfires can be reduced by sending billions of dollars off to China to buy solar panels..."

Trump Blamed For Causing Violence In Typically Peaceful Middle East | The Babylon Bee
"U.S.—After Trump moved some troops from Northern Syria, he was immediately blamed for causing violence in the typically peaceful Middle East.
Syria, which was known around the world as an idyllic paradise until January 20, 2017 at 12:00 PM EST, is now in shambles thanks to some minor troop reassignments.
..."It's sad that the usually serene resort destination of Syria has been transformed into a war-torn hellscape under Trump," said Hillary Clinton.
"Under my watch, the Middle East was basically a big golf resort."...

Trump Tells Evangelicals ‘America Not Built By Religion-Hating Socialists’ | The Daily Caller

Trump Tells Evangelicals ‘America Not Built By Religion-Hating Socialists’ | The Daily Caller:

President Donald Trump delivered a fiery speech Friday in Miami to evangelicals, thanking them for their continued support, especially after the editor of a prominent Christian magazine called for Trump’s impeachment.
Trump told the crowd that America “was not built by religion-hating socialists” but on a strong belief in God and family. “We know that families and churches, not Washington and bureaucrats, know best how to create strong and loving communities. Above all else, we know this. In America, we don’t worship government, we worship God.”

Fiscal Analysis of Colorado’s New ‘Red Flag’ Law Assumes Gun Confiscation Orders Will Be Granted 95% of the Time – Reason.com

Fiscal Analysis of Colorado’s New ‘Red Flag’ Law Assumes Gun Confiscation Orders Will Be Granted 95% of the Time – Reason.com:

• Such a high approval rate reflects the threat these laws pose to due process and the Second Amendment.

The Colorado legislature's official fiscal analysis of that state's new "red flag" law, which took effect this week, projects that police and "family or household members" will use it to seek gun confiscation orders against people they portray as threats to themselves or others about 170 times a year.
The analysis also assumes that 95 percent of those petitions will be granted...
Such a high approval rate reflects the due process problems with red flag laws, which take away people's Second Amendment rights for a year or more based on vague standards and dubious evidence that judges are not inclined to question because they worry about the potentially deadly consequences of rejecting petitions..."

Embarrassing: ‘NBC Nightly News’ Turns Itself into Infomercial for Iranian Regime

Embarrassing: ‘NBC Nightly News’ Turns Itself into Infomercial for Iranian Regime
"Friday’s NBC Nightly News capped an ugly 24 hours for the liberal media after U.S. airstrikes killed Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani by doubling down on its bias, flashing outrageous chyrons, and fluffing pillows for the Iranians over the course of nearly 12 minutes of coverage. 

With help from anchor Lester Holt’s August visit to Tehran, this kowtow came at the expense of the President and supporters of the strike as that side only fetched about two minutes of either direct soundbites or attributions. 

The rest? 

Democrats, hyping security fears, recapping the timeline and touting the Iranians.

Holt started the nonsense seconds in during a tease: “Iran vowing revenge, angry protesters burning American flags. American citizens warn get out of Iraq now.”...
