California Chief Justice Attempts To Bully ICE Into Stopping Arrests Of Illegals But Gets HARSH Taste Of Reality Instead! ⋆ US Herald:

"The apparent loony demand by Justice Bee, Cantil-Sakauye lamenting she was “deeply concerned” that ICE agents are apprehending illegal aliens near her courthouse.
Stating; “Courthouses should not be used as bait in the necessary enforcement of our country’s immigration laws.”

The wacky judge also decided to pen a letter to both to Attorney General Jeff Sessions "

Man guilty of leaving car idling in driveway, fine: $128

Man guilty of leaving car idling in driveway, fine: $128:
"ROSEVILLE, Mich. — A man who fought a $128 ticket for leaving his car running was on the losing end of a court case earlier this week and may appeal the ruling.

Taylor Trupiano, 24, who lives in this suburb about 20 miles north of Detroit, was warming up his car in his driveway Jan. 5 when he ran inside to get his girlfriend and her 2-year-old son.
That 10 minutes or so was enough time for a Roseville officer to issue him a citation because he was in violation of a state law intended to hamper car theft.
Trupiano's vehicle was left "wide open" near the bottom of his driveway about 2 feet from the sidewalk, City Attorney Tim Tomlinson said..."

Stunning College Dorms, Preposterous Luxury | Raising Teenagers

Stunning College Dorms, Preposterous Luxury | Raising Teenagers:
"If you’ve been on a college campus recently, you may have noticed that college dorms have definitely changed since you went to college.
Not to sound like one of those embroidered pants-wearing curmudgeonly alums walking around campus grumbling about how good we had it and how we had to walk ten miles uphill in the snow to get to class, but one thing really irks me—the luxury college dorms and amenities are ridiculous. Lazy rivers, granite counter tops, omelet stations, en suite bathrooms, free on demand cable.
As a parent and tuition payer, I can’t help but wonder: have we all gone insane?
Why are we funding this extravagance?
The absurdity of it all really hit me this spring when we toured the honors housing at a large public university.
The prospective students and parents were shown into the college dorms demo suite.
We parents all gazed, mouths agape, at the two bedroom suite: each room had a double bed, its own closet, and opened into a spacious furnished living space, with a granite counter kitchenette on one side, and on the other a granite counter double sink bathroom, with its own private shower and toilet (so your student is spared that nasty inconvenient walk down the hall to the communal bathroom)..."
And this goes on and on.

Garbage "science"-----Daily dose of diet soda tied to triple risk of deadly stroke | Fox News

Daily dose of diet soda tied to triple risk of deadly stroke | Fox News
"...According to a new study, just one diet drink a day can triple the risk of a deadly stroke, with researchers also finding the beverages have a “worrying association” with dementia.
The team of researchers from Boston’s University School of Medicine, said people who consume a can of artificially-sweetened soft drink a day were at three times the risk of suffering the most common form of stroke compared to non-drinkers.
The US study also indicated that diet soft drink fans were 2.9 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
But after accounting for all lifestyle factors, the researchers found the link to dementia was statistically insignificant, however, the impact on stroke risk remained.
The study, which looked at ten years’ worth of data from more than 4,300 people, indicates that people need to look beyond the word ‘diet’ when making drink choices.
“Drinking at least one artificially sweetened beverage daily was associated with almost three times the risk of developing stroke or dementia compared to those who drank artificially sweetened beverages less than once a week,” the research read, which was published in Stroke, the journal of the American Heart Association..."

About 40 percent of 940 journalists interviewed in a three-year study said they had experienced interference in their work serious enough for it to impact their private lives, the council said.

UK rejects call to outlaw high-heel workplace dress codes:
"LONDON (AP) — The British government has rejected calls to outlaw companies from making women wear high heels at work, saying that kind of discrimination is already banned under existing law.
Heels became a hot topic in Britain after receptionist Nicola Thorp was sent home without pay from finance firm PwC in December 2015 for wearing flat shoes.
She started an online petition that got so many signatures it triggered a debate in Parliament.
On Friday the government said the law already bans discrimination on gender grounds, and "dress codes must include equivalent requirements for both men and women."
It says it will issue new dress code guidance "to make the law clearer to employers and raise awareness among employees."
Thorp branded that "a cop-out.""

MSNBC Hypes Argument That Trump Border Wall's a 'Terrible Obstacle' for Birds and Bats!
Matt Vespa at Townhall reports that MSNBC found a new way to argue Trump's wall-building on the Mexican border is wrong. 
On Friday, MSNBC host Craig Melvin brought on biologist and Animal Planet host Jeff Corwin, who worried out loud that constructing a wall coult hurt not only the Mexican gray wolf, but birds and even bats: “if this border wall happens, it would be an unprecedented environmental catastrophe,” Corwin proclaimed...
Melvin tiptoed in with the obvious question about birds: “At the risk of sounding ignorant or foolish, the birds specifically.  
Wouldn’t they just be able to fly over the wall?..."

How they "think". Or not!-----By 2020 Two-Thirds Of Wild Animals Will Have Been Wiped Out Over A 50 Year Period As Mass Die-Offs Accelerate All Over The Planet

By 2020 Two-Thirds Of Wild Animals Will Have Been Wiped Out Over A 50 Year Period As Mass Die-Offs Accelerate All Over The Planet:
"It has been called “the long extinction”. 
Our planet is in the process of dying, and as you will see below, this process of death and destruction appears to be accelerating.  
According to a report that was put out by the World Wildlife Fund and the Zoological Society of London, the number of wild animals around the globe appears to be decreasing at a rate of about 2 percent a year.  
2 percent may not sound like a lot to you, but over 10 years that would mean that 20 percent of all wild animals in the world would be gone.  
And according to that same report, it is being projected that the total loss of wildlife during the 50 year period from 1970 to 2020 will be a staggering 67 percent…

The number of wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020, according to a new report, part of a mass extinction that is destroying the natural world upon which humanity depends.

The analysis, the most comprehensive to date, indicates that animal populations plummeted by 58% between 1970 and 2012, with losses on track to reach 67% by 2020. Researchers from WWF and the Zoological Society of London compiled the report from scientific data and found that the destruction of wild habitats, hunting and pollution were to blame.

In other words, we are watching a global slow-motion extinction event which will ultimately claim hundreds, if not thousands, of species.
And as I mentioned above, this slow-motion extinction event appears to be accelerating..."

They tried to steal the election!-----Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat Trump | The American Spectator

Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat Trump | The American Spectator: "An article in the Guardian last week provides more confirmation that John Brennan was the American progenitor of political espionage aimed at defeating Donald Trump. 
One side did collude with foreign powers to tip the election — Hillary’s.
Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan teamed up with British spies and Estonian spies to cripple Trump’s candidacy. 
He used their phony intelligence as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump, which led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice, among other Hillary supporters, to spy on Trump and his people.
John Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the Hillary campaign, leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump. 
An official in the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s retinue of political radicals didn’t even bother to hide their activism, decorating offices with “Hillary for president cups” and other campaign paraphernalia.
A supporter of the American Communist Party at the height of the Cold War, Brennan brought into the CIA a raft of subversives and gave them plum positions from which to gather and leak political espionage on Trump. 
He bastardized standards so that these left-wing activists could burrow in and take career positions. Under the patina of that phony professionalism, they could then present their politicized judgments as “non-partisan...”

“Our Common Future” Revisited–how did the roadmap for the green juggernaut fare over 30 years? | Watts Up With That?:
Thirty years ago, in April 1987, a new United Nations report was published. 
It came from the recently established World Commission on Environment and Development, and its title was Our Common Future. 
It was 300 pages long; and its preparation, which took two and a half years, had involved 23 commissioners and 70 or so experts and support staff. 
In addition, they solicited inputs from people and organizations, in many different countries, who had concerns about environmental and development issues. 
You can find the full text of the report at [[1]].

Today, most people seem unaware of this report. 

That’s a pity. 

For this is the document, which set in motion the green political juggernaut that has had such a huge, adverse effect on the lives of all good people in the Western world. 

The 30th anniversary is, I think, a good time to look back at, and to re-evaluate, this report..."

Uber-Left Google’s Major Move - Flooding the Right with Cash:
"...Now the entire industry is obsessed with going viral and how words will be received via social media.
“Who determines this?
San Francisco/Silicon Valley, the hub for revolutionary, far-left extremism, the home base for Twitter and Facebook. 
Twitter and Facebook’s employee base is from the area. New York and San Francisco are distinctly different. San Francisco is driving the American media, not New York.
“You have young, microwaved millionaires and billionaires reshaping the American media in a way that reflects San Francisco values. 
...Google has long given lots and lots of coin to lots and lots of Democrats and Leftist outfits.
massive money just prioritized and amplified the Left-Democrats’ efforts on Google’s behalf.
But Google isn’t stupid.
They can read the writing on the political wall. 
And increasingly, that penmanship – belongs to Republicans and the Right.

This is Google hoping their coin – will shift Right-Republican thinking and actions in their Leftist direction.
