OUCH! This Open Borders Advocate Learns to NOT Pull the Race Card When Trey Gowdy is Around…

OUCH! This Open Borders Advocate Learns to NOT Pull the Race Card When Trey Gowdy is Around…:

“You suggested race was the basis for why we may have this constitutional perspective; did I understand you correctly?” Rep. Gowdy asked Hincapie in a confrontational tone that immediately lets one know that she’s about to get annihilated.
When Hincapie began with a convoluted response, Gowdy jumped in."



Not only is this classic Trey Gowdy, but listen to the very end when she states what Obama has created.

Another Race-Based Attack In Saint Louis – Three Black Youth Drag White Woman From Vehicle For Beating…

Another Race-Based Attack In Saint Louis – Three Black Youth Drag White Woman From Vehicle For Beating… | The Last Refuge
….Now a 26-year-old white Bosnian woman is dragged from her car early this morning by another three black thugs carrying a gun and crowbar. 
She was pulled from her car, thrown to the ground, kicked and beaten.

The police finally call it what it is a “Hate Crime” – from the Police Report:
Location: 4600 block of Lansdowne

Date/Time: 12/5/14 @ 05:25
Victim: 26-year old white female
Suspect(s): Three unknown black males, late teens-early 20s
​The victim stated she was driving in the 4600 block of Lansdowne when three unknown suspects walked in front of her vehicle. 

When the victim attempted to drive around them, the suspects displayed a firearm and ordered her to stop her vehicle, to which she complied. 
One of the suspects then approached the driver’s side, produced an object, possibly a crowbar, and struck the windshield of her vehicle.
The suspects then ordered the victim to exit her vehicle. 
The victim refused and one of the suspects pulled her out of the car. 
During this time, another suspect opened the passenger side door of the vehicle, went through the victim’s purse and stated that it was empty. 
One of the suspects then pushed the victim to the ground and kicked her. 
All three suspects then fled the scene.

How To Reduce Police Violence—–Eliminate Nanny State Crimes

How To Reduce Police Violence—–Eliminate Nanny State Crimes | David Stockman's Contra Corner:
"Wrote Nick Gillespie in the Daily Beast,
“Clearly something has gone horribly wrong when a man lies dead after being confronted for selling cigarettes to willing buyers.
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, appearing on MSNBC, also blamed the statute:
“Some politician put a tax of $5.85 on a pack of cigarettes, so they’ve driven cigarettes underground by making them so expensive.”
The problem is actually broader.
It’s not just cigarette tax laws that can lead to the death of those the police seek to arrest.
It’s every law.
Libertarians argue that we have far too many laws, and the Garner case offers evidence that they’re right.
I often tell my students that there will never be a perfect technology of law enforcement, and therefore it is unavoidable that there will be situations where police err on the side of too much violence rather than too little. 
Better training won’t lead to perfection. 
But fewer laws would mean fewer opportunities for official violence to get out of hand."

Read 'em all and DO SOMETHING!!!-------Five Facts About Crony Profits from Food Stamps

Five Facts About Crony Profits from Food Stamps | The Daily Sheeple
0907-foodstamps_standard_600x400
2.The Biggest Food Stamp Lobbyists are Mega Banks and Mega Corporations
Some 76 billion in food stamps were handed out just last year alone. But the biggest recipients aren’t the people on food stamps.
In fact, the biggest lobbyists for the food stamp program aren’t poor people or organizations who represent low-income families, but big Wall Street banks and mega corporations. 
Two quick examples: J.P. Morgan Chase raked in $209 million for just two contracts agreeing to administer EBT card benefits in Florida and New York; and Walmart made half a billion in food stamps just off Oklahoma residents and in just a two-year period. (source)

"U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki was seemingly caught on a hot mic calling one of her prepared statements on one of America’s policies on Egypt “ridiculous” following a press conference.
When reporters, including the Associated Press’ Matt Lee, pressed her to comment on the acquittal of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, she provided a pre-written response."

Medicaid Malfunctions

Medicaid Malfunctions - Reason.com:
"When President Obama pitched his health care overhaul in 2008 and 2009, he repeatedly argued that the existing health system relied too heavily on emergency room usage by the uninsured, which drove up the cost of care for everyone else.
"If there are affordable options and people still don't sign up for health insurance, it means we pay for those people's expensive emergency room visits," he said in one speech promoting the law.
But the argument that emergency room usage could be reduced by passing the health law never quite held up.
...The results are clear: Emergency room visits are up significantly more in expansion states than in non-expansion states"

What happened to Michigan House Democrats' petition to slay high gasoline prices?

Ken Braun: What happened to Michigan House Democrats' petition to slay high gasoline prices? | MLive.com:
..Substitute fuel price conspiracies for fraudulent faith healing, and my dad’s fake pastors have nothing on our politicians.
During June of 2013, Democrats in the Michigan House unveiled LowerMIGasPrices.com. 
It was a Web page dedicated to a legislative resolution calling on Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette to investigate whether “big oil companies” were “colluding to unfairly increase gas prices.”
“If the cost for gasoline is being unfairly set by unscrupulous producers, wholesalers or retailers,” said House Democratic Leader Tim Greimel of Auburn Hills, “those vendors need to be prosecuted.”
Republican State Sen. Rick Jones of Grand Ledge created a similar stir by calling on Congress to look into the prices.
Shortly thereafter, I demonstrated that if price collusion was really taking place, then “big oil” was doing a poor job of it. 
The price of gasoline in August of 2013 was $3.60 per gallon, roughly the same - inflation adjusted - as the price paid in Michigan way back in 1981.
This week, I filled a tank at Kroger for $2.50 per gallon. Inflation-adjusted, that is 44 cents lower than what was paid back in 1974, the year after an example of real and deliberately malicious producer price fixing - the 1973 Arab oil embargo - rocked the national and world economy.
...Is it an accident the Democrats’ “War on Women” drumbeat increased in intensity as those gasoline prices fell?
Probably no more a coincidence than the current state of the LowerMIGasPrices.competition page, created by House Democrats a year ago this summer. 
It is now as easy to find as the medical records proving the maladies of those cured by greedy televangelists. 
All of the ‘gas price’ Web content has vanished, replaced by an unintentionally ironic “Fatal error” message on the page.
Except it wasn’t an “error.” 
It was just a scam. 
No “big oil” collusion was discovered, because it did not happen. 
The names of those who signed that petition have been forgotten just as the Web page has. Or, perhaps like the easy marks who reliably fill the coffers of the phony preachers, those petition names have been saved in some database so as to beguile the gullible yet again.
Both the politician and TV faith healer prey upon our need to believe bad things can be fixed with the extraordinary interventions of supposedly extraordinary mortals. 
The bogus cleric scams his flock by citing the authority of God, and the politician by slaying dragons that don’t exist.
Alas, exposing these frauds is as easy as it is pointless, because there’s always customers willing buy anything.

Fast-food workers plan to strike in 150 American cities

Fast-food workers plan to strike in 150 American cities:
"Fast-food workers in more than 150 U.S. cities are expected to walk off their jobs Thursday(12/4), the latest in a series of protests demanding a higher minimum wage and the opportunity to unionize.
These planned labor disruptions are part of a campaign that began two years ago with nationwide strikes and that flared most recently in September.
The walkouts are backed by one of the country's largest labor organizations, the Service Employees International Union.
And organizers say their movement is gaining momentum.
"Seattle and San Francisco passed laws raising wages to $15 over the next couple years, and cities from New York to Los Angeles are pushing for higher wages too," according to the website of StrikeFastFood, a group involved in planning the walkouts.
"But there's still a long way to go before every worker gets $15 an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation.
It's going to be a hard fight, but we know we can do it. We don't have any other choice."
McDonald's is expected to be the focus of this week's work stoppages."

A Two-Day Battle to Charge My Car Convinced Me We're Not Ready for EVs

A Two-Day Battle to Charge My Car Convinced Me We're Not Ready for EVs | WIRED
The real-world range of a Nissan Leaf is roughly 80 miles (84, according to the sticker on the window). That’s on par with pretty much everything else except theway more expensive, road trip-ready Tesla Model S
I left San Francisco with about 50 miles left in the Leaf’s 24 kilowatt-hour pack, and knew when I arrived that I wouldn’t have enough have enough juice to make the 35-mile drive back.
Once I’d wrapped up my meeting and gotten back to the car, I used the Leaf’s navigation system to find the nearest charging station. 
I figured I’d hang out for half an hour or so before heading north. 
The Leaf, like many EVs, will direct you to the nearest charging station. 
That system isn’t nearly good enough: 
First off, it doesn’t tell you whether the station is occupied. 
That’s a real problem: 
Unlike a gas station, it doesn’t take three minutes for each car to fill up and move on. 
It takes at least 20 minutes, and that means if the plug you need is taken, you’re going to be waiting a while.

Daily Show: Whites Bringing Up Black-on-Black Crime Should ‘Go ‘F**k Themselves’

Daily Show: Whites Bringing Up Black-on-Black Crime Should ‘Go ‘F**k Themselves’ | Media Research Center:
"On Dec. 2, Jon Stewart brought on "The Daily Show," “Senior Black Correspondent Larry Wilmore," to bash conservatives for calling out the more deadly epidemic of black on black crime in light of the Ferguson protests.
Playing CNN clips of Mayor Rudy Giuliani and others calling out the media to talk about the “real epidemic” of black-on-black crime, Stewart asks Wilmore,
“What do you say to those people?” 
“Oh, I don’t know Jon. 
I would say maybe they should probably go fuck themselves.” 
This response of course garnered cheer and applause from the audience.
He continued:
“First of all, can we stop calling it ‘black on black crime?’
It’s just crime.
Okay?
I mean black on black just makes it sound like a category on Red Tube.
That’s a porn site, John.”
After some lewd jokes about porn, Stewart asks Wilmore,
“You don’t think a conversation about black on black crime should be happening now?” "

2 Weapons That Atheists Use in War on Christmas

Doubling Down On Climate Alarmism

Doubling Down On Climate Alarmism
Falsified Alarmism
The United States/China pact and the UN meeting in South America are little more than desperate attempts to keep the climate agenda going in an energy-hungry, fossil-fuel world.
Consumers are choosing oil, gas, and coal over politically correct, economically inferior substitutes. But in the intellectual/government/pundit sphere, a witch’s brew of bad science and Gruber salesmanship has turned an intellectual cause into a fringe religion — and self-defeating politics.
For decades, climate campaigners have warned that, unless we cut CO2 emissions rapidly and drastically, environmental devastation will be just around the corner.
Like the running-out-of-oil predictions since the 1860s, the running-out-of-livable-climate (“tipping point“) meme of the last 25 years has been repeatedly falsified.
President Obama’s science advisor John Holdren, for example, refuses to disavow his 1980s prediction that by 2020, a billion people could perish from famine induced by man-made climate change.
Holdren, going down with the Obama ship, now manufactures fringe analyses as mainstream science.
