Republicans Take Down the Confederate Flag the Democrats Put Up in South Carolina -- and Liberals Are Still Angry - The Rush Limbaugh Show
Republicans Take Down the Confederate Flag the Democrats Put Up in South Carolina -- and Liberals Are Still Angry - The Rush Limbaugh Show:
"Folks, do not ignore me on this. This is exactly what's going on. That's why this whole notion of Clinton referencing it here again, and you heard Christie say it when he announced his presidential run, all this idea, the notion of crossing the aisle and cooperating and bipartisan? That's not what they're interested in. They don't want cooperation! The only way there's going to be tolerance is if we cave. By cave, I mean cave. It's not just enough to agree. You have to become one of them, or you are going to be targeted and harassed until you do.
Or at least until you say so. "

NATO missile system hacked remotely by ‘foreign source’
NATO missile system hacked remotely by ‘foreign source’ | Pamela Geller
Tick tock, tick tock ….
Tick tock, tick tock ….
One commenter articulated the catastrophic implications this way: “The implications of this allegation from the German Magazine are horrific.
If it is possible to ‘remotely’ access the command and control system of a Patriot system deployed operationally in the field then it stands to reason that someone can do the same to similar air defense systems deployed. Such implications surely will now require urgent attention from various governments / agencies currently investigating a number of high profile aviation accidents which to date appear to have defied logic and resulted in confusion for all parties alike.”

German magazine Behörden Spiegel said this week that the hacked missile system is owned and operated by the German Army. It was deployed along the Turkish-Syrian border in early 2013, after Ankara requested NATO assistance in protecting its territory from a possible spillover of the civil war in neighboring Syria.The Patriot surface-to-air missile system was initially built for the United States Army by American defense contractor Raytheon in the 1980s, but has since been sold to many of Washington’s NATO allies, including Germany. The Patriot system consists of stand-alone batteries, each composed of six launchers and two radars. The radars, which are aimed at spotting and targeting incoming missiles, communicate with the launchers via a computer system. The latter was hijacked for a brief period of time by an unidentified hacker, said Behörden Spiegel, adding that the perpetrators of the electronic attack managed to get the missile system to “perform inexplicable commands”. The magazine gave no further details....

Give Trump the Medal of Freedom-Exclusive: Ted Nugent whacks 'professional political punks'
Give Trump the Medal of Freedom:
TED NUGENT
"The problem with guys like Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary of George W. Bush, is that he’s drunk the inside-the-beltway political Kookaid for so long that he actually believes his own spin. Poor guy went down for the third time in the denial goo long ago.
Donald Trump’s biggest critics all believe that the engine of all things good and serious emanates from the professional Fedzillacrats who apparently enjoy wallowing in the said goo of Washington, D.C.
In a recent Politico article, Fleischer is quoted as saying, in part, that “Donald Trump is like watching a roadside accident. Everybody pulls over to see the mess.”
Donald Trump is a mess?
Maybe Mr. Fleischer should open up the political garbage can he and the majority of Fedzillacrats live in and take a look at the real, certifiable, rotting, stinking mess that has been caused by the professional scammers of both political stripes for the past 50 years.
Mr. Fleischer and other critics of Mr. Trump aren’t listening to the blaring trumpets of dissatisfaction that are blown by millions of Americans who realize that it’s the professional political punks in D.C. who have engineered the economic train wreck that is strangling the economy, shrinking the middle class and creating even further embarrassing, America-destroying dependence on Fedzilla by tens and tens of millions of Americans...

These states let police take and keep your stuff even if you haven't committed a crime - Vox
These states let police take and keep your stuff even if you haven't committed a crime - Vox:
"Only five states prevent police from taking and keeping your stuff without charging you for a crime: Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and North Carolina.
The rest fully allow what's known as "civil forfeiture":
Police officers can seize someone's property without proving the person was guilty of a crime; they just need probable cause to believe the assets are being used as part of criminal activity, typically drug trafficking.
Police can then absorb the value of this property — be it cash, cars, guns, or something else — as profit, either through state programs or under a federal program known as Equitable Sharing that lets local and state police get up to 80 percent of the value of what they seize as money for their departments."

Is a mini ICE AGE on the way? Scientists warn the sun will 'go to sleep' in 2020
Is a mini ICE AGE on the way? Scientists warn the sun will 'go to sleep' in 2020 | Daily Mail Online:
"Is a mini ICE AGE on the way?
Scientists warn the sun will 'go to sleep' in 2030 and could cause temperatures to plummet
A new study claims to have cracked predicting solar cycles - and says that between 2020 and 2030 solar cycles will cancel each other out.
This, they say, will lead to a phenomenon known as the 'Maunder minimum' - which has previously been known as a mini ice age when it hit between 1646 and 1715, even causing London's River Thames to freeze over."

Bakers who refused to make lesbian wedding cake told to pay $135K by Monday -- or else | Fox News:
"Two Christian bakers who refused to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding have been ordered to pay $135,000 in damages by July 13 or else the state of Oregon could place a lien on their home.
Aaron and Melissa Klein, the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, were punished by the state’s Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) for unlawfully discriminating against a same-sex couple.
The BOLI ruling ordered the mom-and-pop bakers to pay $135,000 to the lesbian couple.
They were also slapped with a gag order that prohibits them from speaking publicly about their refusal to participate in or bake wedding cakes for same-sex unions
And now - they have until July 13 to pay the damages or else face additional fines and a possible lien on their home.
“This is intimidation and bullying - that’s exactly what it is,” Klein told me in a telephone interview.“ They are trying to strong-arm me into handing over $135,000 to the two girls and if I win on appeal - they will never pay me back...”

Pelosi Uses Murder Committed By Illegal Immigrant To Pitch ... Gun Control | Truth Revolt:
"But San Francisco is a "sanctuary city" that does not obey or enforce federal immigration laws. Because of that, this public safety threat was on the street. Because of that, a young woman is dead. So what does San Francisco resident and Representative Nancy Pelosi have to say? Does she blame immigration laws or San Francisco's flouting of those laws? Not at today's press conference on Capitol Hill, where she instead placed the blame squarely on the - wait for it - murder weapon."
