‘Whoa’: Glenn Beck Pulls Out Unexpected Prop During ABC Interview, Stuns Anchor With Trump Comparison | Video | TheBlaze.com
‘Whoa’: Glenn Beck Pulls Out Unexpected Prop During ABC Interview, Stuns Anchor With Trump Comparison | Video | TheBlaze.com:
“Whoa — Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler?” Stephanopoulos interjected.
Beck responded by saying that Trump has been “playing to the lowest common denominator and to the anger in us” — but he qualified his claim by suggesting the comparison focuses on who Hitler was in 1929, not the murderous tyrant of the Nazi Germany in the 1940s.
“[Hitler] was a kind of funny, kind of character that said the things that people were thinking,” Beck said of the leader’s early political career. “Where Donald Trump takes it, I have absolutely no idea. But, Donald Trump is a dangerous man with the things he’s been saying.”

IMPORTANT READ!!-----We aren't ready for the lights to go out
Glenn Reynolds: We aren't ready for the lights to go out:
The preppers aren't the only ones worried anymore about a debilitating attack on the U.S. power grid.
Could it be lights out for America?
That’s something that people are starting to worry about, and these worries aren’t coming solely from the usual crowd of survivalists and preppers.
Shut down the computers that run the power plants and distribution systems and you shut down America.
That’s looking more possible, lately.
One of those worrying is former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel, whose new book, Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath, looks at the danger of losing electrical power due to a cyberattack.
The picture Koppel paints isn’t a pretty one:
Cities, unpowered for weeks and months, could become largely uninhabitable.
But, says Koppel, nobody is thinking about this very clearly:
“It would be comforting to report that those agencies charged with responding to disaster are adequately prepared to deal with the consequences of a cyberattack on the grid.
They are not.”
...Well, that’s comforting, though not especially surprising:
If the government flubs its response to natural disasters like Katrina or Sandy, when storms are a regular occurrence, how likely is it to deal well with something that hasn’t happened to the United States before?
Nor is a cyber-attack on the power grid just a fantasy.
In fact, in Ukraine (which I fear is a laboratory for new warfare techniques the way Spain was in the 1930s), it’s already happened.
As Wired magazine recently reported, someone — most likely someone Russian — shut down Ukraine’s power grid with a hack attack that sounds like something out of a thriller movie:
...Somewhere in a region outside the city he knew that thousands of residents had just lost their lights and heaters.”
The hackers didn’t just turn things off — they overwrote firmware on critical devices, making it impossible for operators to control them from control centers.
And, lest Americans think that our system is less vulnerable, the Ukrainian control systems were actually quite secure, separated from the regular Internet and protected by robust security systems. American networks are, in some ways, more vulnerable..."

Teach the children well.....Baltimore Professor: White People Need To Personally Give All Their Money To Black People
Baltimore Professor: White People Need To Personally Give All Their Money To Black People... » Louder With Crowder:
"...You’re supposed to find a black person, any black person, and deposit that money directly into their bank account.
Solely because they are black.
Does that sound racist in and of itself?
Your white privilege is showing.
Now, lest ye think we deserve a boatload of hatemail for suggesting such a thing, we direct you to the source of this utter lunacy: Lawrence Brown.
Mr. Brown is an assistant professor in the Public Health Department at Morgan State University in Baltimore.
This leftist activist teaches that black Americans require reparations, that America is still segregated, and black Americans continue to suffer from the historical trauma of white supremacist America.
His solution to these perceived problems?
Take your white privilege money (which he defines as “unearned” if you are white), and give it to a black person.
Because you’re personally responsible for slavery and need to pay.

Muslim Sues Apple Inc. for ‘Failing to Accommodate His Religious Beliefs’
Muslim Sues Apple Inc. for ‘Failing to Accommodate His Religious Beliefs’ | The Muslim Issue:
"...The whole purpose of these fake lawsuits is to defraud, to deceive and to get the upper hand.
Feras Mousilli says Apple failed to accommodate his religious rights.
A former attorney for Apple filed a lawsuit this week alleging that the company violated anti-discrimination laws by failing to accommodate his religious beliefs.
In a complaint filed in state court in San Jose, Feras Mousilli claims the company refused to print Arabic on his business cards, and repeatedly told him he was not a “cultural fit.”
Mousilli, who lives in San Francisco, also states that Apple refused to re-schedule weekly meetings with his supervisor so that he could attend Friday prayers.
Mousilli, who is of Syrian origin, also claims Apple was a hostile environment in which other employees, named only as “John Doe,” repeatedly told “inappropriate jokes about the war in the Middle East, ISIS terrorists, and the war taking place in Syria.”
An Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit..."

GERMANY BANS SAUSAGES: Pork banned in cafes and schools to 'not offend refugees'
CHOOLS and canteens in Germany have BANNED pork from their menus over fears of offending Muslim migrants, a top politician has revealed.
An increasing number of public canteens, child daycare centres and schools have stopped serving sausages, bacon and ham over religious considerations.
Now members of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s CDU party are fighting to keep pork on the menu, insisting the consumption of pork is part of German culture.
Daniel Günther, party representative, claimed that pork products were being taken off the menu in schools, nurseries and canteens across the country..."

The Reason Hillary Clinton Thinks She’s the ‘Most Transparent Public Official in Modern Times — as Far as I Know’ | TheBlaze.com:“I think a lot of Americans are really worried that it’s not going to get better, and that’s why I’m running on specifics, on policies, on what I think I can do,” Clinton said.
The former secretary of state also answered questions regarding the federal investigation of her private email server and responded to popular claims that her candidacy could buckle depending on what the agencies in charge of the case uncover.
Clinton asserted that worries of a potential prosecution against her are “not at all” justified."
Student's Knife Alarms Some at Cal State Long Beach
Student's Knife Alarms Some at Cal State Long Beach
"California State University at Long Beach on Thursday said that it has taken seriously an incident in which a faculty member saw a student with a small knife, in class, and asked him to leave and notified authorities.
On social media, the incident was described by some as a threat by the student against a black female student in a class on gender and race issues.
Many on social media have questioned why Cal State didn't alert the campus to danger or take further action against the student.
The university statement does not reference many of the details claimed on social media.
But the university says that the incident remains under investigation by campus and local officials, and that a threat assessment determined no immediate threat."

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan Dies at 94 | TheBlaze.com:"Her marriage to Ronald Reagan lasted 52 years until his death in 2004.
A former actress, she was Reagan’s closest adviser and fierce protector on his journey from actor to governor of California to president of the United States.
She rushed to his side after he was shot in 1981 by a would-be assassin, and later endured his nearly decade-long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. In recent years she broke with fellow Republicans in backing stem cell research as a way to possibly find a cure for Alzheimer’s."
What The FBI Director Just Testified About Hillary Email Probe Should Give The Dem Candidate The Shakes
What The FBI Director Just Testified About Hillary Email Probe Should Give The Dem Candidate The Shakes:
"Many voters are watching intently for information regarding the allegations against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her mishandling of classified information via her private email server. After all, the idea of a presidential candidate being indicted for spilling sensitive government secrets could upend what is already a presidential election year like no other. Then there are those are worried the Obama administration may do something to tamper with the investigation by the FBI.
But the news that FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers he is taking a personal interest in the investigation can’t be comforting to the Clintons."

"B is for bigot! R is for racist! X is for xenophobe! (S is for silly!)
We are all xenophobes now—any governors with concerns about a state’s right to control the resettlement of expensive (and potentially dangerous) refugees to their states, you, me, and of course Donald Trump.

We are all xenophobes now—any governors with concerns about a state’s right to control the resettlement of expensive (and potentially dangerous) refugees to their states, you, me, and of course Donald Trump.
So, when did the Founding Fathers approve of Bishop Eusebio Elizondo (as chairman of the USCCB Committee on Migration) receiving millions of your tax dollars to make decisions about which third world migrants are placed in your states? Bio and photo:http://www.seattlearchdiocese.org/archdiocese/auxiliaries.aspx
You can read the whole thing yourself, that is not why I’m posting it—the No Borders Left, including the NYT editorial board, continues their tired old name calling, ho hum (not worth mentioning).
But there is one little line in the editorial that I found interesting, but apparently the great minds at the NYT have no concern for the FACT that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops is deciding which refugees go where.
Who ELECTED the Bishops?
Obviously the Times doesn’t give a flying c*** about States’ Rights or what governors think, but how can they justify the fact that NO elected official or legislative body is making a decision to foist expenses on state and local taxpayers, change the cultural make-up of American towns and possibly endanger people.
Here is the line I found so troubling, but apparently the NYT does not:
….in fact resettlement decisions are made by mainstream social agencies like the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops and its subsidiaries (Catholic Charities) are federal contractors paid millions upon millions every year by YOU to resettle refugees in your communities with no opportunity for you to question those decisions.
The Founding Fathers could not have imagined such a thing when crafting our Constitution.
Have a look at a 2014 Annual Report for the USCCB Migration Fund. Citizen taxpayers are paying the majority of the Bishops’ budget. And note that, in addition to the $79.5 million in federal grants and contracts, that the over $3 million in ‘travel loan collection fees’ is also your money (in a budget of $85.9 million).
They could not exist without their hands in your wallets!
Much more here.

New Film Exposes the Real End Game of the Democratic Party | Glenn Beck:
"His prolonged exposure to the criminal underclass provided a new perspective in American realities. In the view of hardened criminals, America is anything but fair and just. Instead, it is a jungle in which various armed gangs face off against one another.
Applying this hardboiled perspective to American politics, D’Souza saw that the biggest and most powerful gangs inhabiting America are within the federal government. The trailer for his new film provides a shocking glimpse into the case he makes about the seedy underbelly and hidden truth of the Democratic Party."

Can we survive more of her moronic "judgement"?-----Role of Hillary Clinton in Libya war exposed
Role of Hillary Clinton in Libya war exposed — RT USA:
New light is being shed on the role presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton played as secretary of state in the 2011 military intervention in Libya, with more than 50 officials from the US, Europe, and Libya speaking out to The New York Times.
The report features many of those directly involved in the mission that overthrew the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, portraying Clinton as a catalyst in the decision to go to war.
Beginning in Spring 2011, NATO carried out a bombing campaign for seven months, leaving Libya a failed state overrun by extremist groups.
The official government now only controls the eastern portion of the country, with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), Ansar al-Sharia and local militant groups controlling other areas.
In the run-up to the intervention, however, Clinton became convinced that overthrowing Gaddafi would lead to a democracy, according to multiple sources interviewed by The New York Times.
...“I’ve always thought that Hillary’s support for the broader mission in Libya put the president on the 51 side of the line for a more aggressive approach,” Gates said.
Gates urged for the opposite, he told the newspaper, telling Obama and others that the Pentagon already had enough on their plate.
“Can I finish the two wars I’m already in before you guys go looking for a third one?” Gates recalled saying..."

Multiple Young Boys Requiring Surgery After Being Raped In Calais ‘Jungle’ Camp
Multiple Young Boys Requiring Surgery After Being Raped In Calais ‘Jungle’ Camp - Breitbart:
"Doctors and medical staff have confirmed that at least seven boys, aged between 14 and 16, have been raped inside the so-called ‘Jungle’ migrant camp in Calais.
In four of the cases the boys had been abused so brutally they required surgery.
Three of them declined treatment, however, because of fear repercussions and losing their honour.
Medical volunteers based near Calais made the revelations to the Independent.
They said that all of the boys had injuries consistent with the crimes they had reported.
A General Medical Council (GMC) registered doctor later confirmed knowledge of all of the cases.
There was thought to be dozens of unaccompanied migrant children in the illegal ‘Jungle’ camp until recently, and in January, a senior representative of Europol estimated that 10,000 such children had gone missing within Europe.
The shocking revelations have led to fresh concerns around the lack of child protection in the camps, as well as the difficulty of policing the lawless settlement of stateless people.
Widespread crime and violence, which overspills into the nearby town, was part of the reason the southern side of the camp has now been dismantled.
As demolition teams moved in, the camp descended into “guerrilla warfare”, with huts set on fire and journalists attacked..."

Everything You Need to Know About the VW Diesel Emissions Scandal
Everything You Need to Know About the VW Diesel Emissions Scandal – News – Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog:
General Motors and Toyota had their massive scandals. Now it’s Volkswagen’s turn. The company, which owns 70 percent of the U.S. passenger-car diesel market, is in major trouble for cheating on diesel-emissions tests. After years of promoting “Clean Diesel” as an alternative to hybrid and electric vehicles—the company even marched on Washington with a squadron of Audi TDI models—Volkswagen is stewing in its own toxic vapors. Here’s our handy guide to what’s happening.
In the test mode, the cars are fully compliant with all federal emissions levels. But when driving normally, the computer switches to a separate mode—significantly changing the fuel pressure, injection timing, exhaust-gas recirculation, and, in models with AdBlue, the amount of urea fluid sprayed into the exhaust. While this mode likely delivers higher mileage and power, it also permits heavier nitrogen-oxide emissions (NOx)—a smog-forming pollutant linked to lung cancer—that are up to 40 times higher than the federal limit. That doesn’t mean every TDI is pumping 40 times as much NOx as it should. Some cars may emit just a few times over the limit, depending on driving style and load.
General Motors and Toyota had their massive scandals. Now it’s Volkswagen’s turn.

After years of promoting “Clean Diesel” as an alternative to hybrid and electric vehicles—the company even marched on Washington with a squadron of Audi TDI models—Volkswagen is stewing in its own toxic vapors. Here’s our handy guide to what’s happening.
What happened?
Volkswagen installed emissions software on more than a half-million diesel cars in the U.S.—and roughly 10.5 million more worldwide—that allows them to sense the unique parameters of an emissions drive cycle set by the Environmental Protection Agency. According to the EPA and the California Air Resources Board, who were tipped off by researchers in 2014, these so-called “defeat devices” detect steering, throttle, and other inputs used in the test to switch between two distinct operating modes.
Which cars are affected? Will my car pass state inspection?
The following Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche diesel models have been cited by the EPA for emissions violations. There is no recall and the cars pass all state inspections, at least for now. Remember, VW has admitted to violating federal emissions laws, and as such, it’s neither a state nor a safety issue. However, if Volkswagen does issue a recall, some states (particularly California and some that follow Partial Zero Emission Vehicle standards) may prevent owners from renewing their registration if they don’t complete the fix.
