$697,177 for a ‘Climate-Change Musical’: You Call That Science? - WSJ

$697,177 for a ‘Climate-Change Musical’: You Call That Science? - WSJ:
"...The NSF, whose mission is to ensure U.S. leadership in areas of science and technology that are essential to economic growth and national security, frequently funds politically correct but low-value research projects.
A few doozies include the

• veiling-fashion industry in Turkey, 
• Viking textiles in Iceland, 
• the “social impacts” of tourism in the northern tip of Norway, 
• and whether hunger causes couples to fight (using the number of pins stuck in voodoo dolls as a measure of aggressive feelings). 
• Research funding in the geosciences, including climate change, is certainly legitimate, but not when it goes to ludicrous boondoggles such as a climate-change musical that cost $697,177 to produce.

The primary culprit is the NSF’s Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences, known as SBE.
Underlying its ability to dispense grants is the wrongheaded notion that social-science projects such as a study of animal depictions in National Geographic and a climate change musical are as important as research to identify early markers for Alzheimer’s disease or pancreatic cancer..."

ABC Besieged by Boycott Calls After Cancelation of Conservative Tim Allen's Hit Show| Heat Street:

"The Last Man Standing was “hitting ratings highs in its sixth season.”

Many viewers of the show think that the decision is being made by liberal ABC, owned by Disney, primarily because the series is about an unashamedly conservative character (Mike Baxter) played by a conservative actor. Allen told Jimmy Kimmel in March that living in Hollywood right now was akin to being in Nazi Germany."

Tick, Tock: EMP War Looms - Katie Kieffer

Tick, Tock: EMP War Looms - Katie Kieffer
"If you want to cry after WannaCry ransomware attacked FedEx in the United States, hospitals in Britain, and telecommunications networks in Spain last Friday, you’ll want to bawl when North Korea hits the U.S. with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). 
Let’s not go there.
Congressional reports and most security experts agree that America’s adversaries—from developed nations like China and Russia to dictatorships like Iran and North Korea—prefer to target our country with a triple threat combination of cyberattacks, physical damage and EMP. And EMP is the greatest threat of the three.
A unique menace in that it can occur naturally (via a geomagnetic storm) or by man (via the high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon), 
EMP is a rapid acceleration of particles that creates a high-power burst of electromagnetic energy.
55 years ago, during the Cold War, the United States experienced an accidental EMP blast when the JFK administration tested a 1.4-megaton nuclear warhead 250 miles above Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
The test, Operation Starfish Prime, malfunctioned.
Traffic lights 850 miles away in Hawaii immediately went out, six satellites above the Pacific died, and radio networks were disrupted in Alaska, Hawaii and California.
Starfish Prime was a powerful warning—had we listened.
Unfortunately, today our country is virtually defenseless against an EMP attack. 
Furthermore, the ramifications of an EMP attack in 2017 are far greater than in 1962 due to the proliferation of grid-dependent smartphones, computers, cars, medical facilities, financial institutions and food distribution channels.
Even our military is far more electricity-dependent..."

Anatomy Of A News Media Hoax: CNN/MSNBC 'Collusion' Montage | Daily Wire

Anatomy Of A News Media Hoax: CNN/MSNBC 'Collusion' Montage | Daily Wire:

"At its core, the narrative casts 2016’s presidential election as having been compromised by a political influence operation executed by the Russian state at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin; its purpose to defeat Clinton and elect Trump.

Putin, the narrative’s advocates allege, had developed a preference for Trump over Clinton. Breaking with a history of America’s adversaries preferring Democrat leadership, Democrats and their news media allies would have Americans believe that Clinton somehow represented a greater threat to Putin’s political designs than Trump."

Mother Turns Her Son Into a Drag Queen

Mother Turns Her Son Into a Drag Queen:
"The gender-bending craze taking over the culture has officially gone far enough. 
A while back the TUK Daily Mail highlighted the viral photographs of 8-year-old Ethan Wilwert in drag makeup. 
His mother, Season, is all for it.

Season said Ethan has loved makeup "since he was a young child, he used to watch me get ready and put on makeup."

"He's asked to apply my makeup before."

One of his inspirations has been YouTube makeup artist Jeffree Star, an American singer and songwriter who creates extreme drag styles on Instagram.

Season said: "He wants to learn how to do drag and theatre styles of makeup, as well as other styles."

Makeup artist Joey had only recently qualified for MAC and Ethan was his first makeover, Metro reported.

"...There are only two reasons to do this to a child. 
The first is grooming for pedophilia. 
The second is because queer children are the new status symbol in America. 

Selfish and bored women who want extra attention can now get it by transitioning their child at the age of two or three and forcing everyone around them to deny reality and call Jane "Joe" and build new bathrooms at school and hold conferences where they are the center of attention..."

California threatens to shut down book signings and therefore small booksellers - PLF Liberty Blog

California threatens to shut down book signings and therefore small booksellers - PLF Liberty Blog: "Acting on purported consumer protection concerns, the legislature recently expanded its autograph law (which formerly only applied to sports memorabilia) to include any signed item worth over $5—including books.  
Under that law, sellers must produce a certificate of authenticity and maintain detailed records of every sale for seven years.  
Sellers must, among other things:

• Note the purchase price and date of sale,
• specify whether the item is part of a limited edition,
• note the size of the edition, anticipate any future editions,
• disclose whether the seller is bonded,
• divulge any previous owner’s name and address,
• if the book was signed in the presence of the seller, specify the date and location of the signing, and identify a witness to the autograph.

Failure to disclose any of the required details, or to keep the certificate for the full seven years, results in outrageous penalties.  
Even an inadvertent omission can subject a seller to actual damages, plus a civil penalty of up to 10 times the damages, plus court costs, plus reasonable attorney’s fees, plus expert witness fees, plus interest. 
Professional plaintiff’s lawyers must be chomping at the bit.  
If Bill sold just 100 signed copies of a $30 book, but six years later, couldn’t locate the records noting the size of the edition, he’d be liable for (at minimum) $30,000.  
...Even worse than irrational, the law is pernicious: despite the law’s vast breadth (it also covers paintings, sculptures, and auctioneers), certain sellers have secured exemptions.  
Online retailers and pawn shops, those places where uninformed buyers are most vulnerable, do not have to comply..."

Surplus convention money should have gone to taxpayers: governor | PennLive.com: "PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Gov. Tom Wolf says the committee that raised public and private money to put on last summer's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia should have returned surplus funds to the taxpayers rather than handing out staff bonuses and grants.
The Legislature provided $10 million for the event, and some lawmakers voiced displeasure upon finding out that the host committee gave nearly $1 million in bonuses for staff members as well as grants for Philadelphia schools and nonprofits.
The bonuses were disclosed in a Jan. 31 Federal Election Commission filing.
Wolf said Sunday that the commonwealth supports large events that can benefit the region, but leftover funding should be returned to taxpayers.
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D), the host committee's chairman, called the bonuses a reward for low pay and long hours."

U of Arizona is Hiring ‘Social Justice Advocates’ to Police Fellow Students for ‘Bias Incidents.’

“Bias” isn’t actually a crime, you know, and “policing” speech looks a lot like a conspiracy to deprive people of their civil rights, which is both a felony and a source of civil damage actions. 
If the right had as well-developed a legal infrastructure as the left, there would already be lawsuits and criminal prosecutions along these lines. 
There probably still will be, eventually."

The Veiled Genocide: A Reexamination of Muslim Occupation and Slavery of Africa | The Muslim Issue

The Veiled Genocide: A Reexamination of Muslim Occupation and Slavery of Africa | The Muslim Issue: 
"Over 4 million people are still under ownership by Muslims as slaves in Africa and across the Middle East today. 
No liberal or black nationalist ever complains about that. 
The brutality of the Muslim slave trade during the caliphate was so severe that 90% of Africans died in transport. 
Those who made it alive to Arabia barely lived into their mid 20’s. 
Women served merely as sex-slaves and workers and if they became pregnant from Muslim rapes their offspring was killed at birth. 
The male slaves served as laborers and were castrated to stop them from producing children. 
When the Muslims castrated their slaves they cut the entire penis and testicles off. 
It was the male version of FGM.
The African slave trade was created by the Africans themselves, and not by any European or foreigner. 
One of the reason African kings endorsed and ran the entire slave trade of their own people is due to their indoctrination into Sharia. 
Slavery made the the African kings extremely wealthy and powerful. 
The Sharia legalized the slavery of African people who had not converted to Islam, under the infidel label.
Although it is true that the whole world was engaged in slavery at one point in the temptation of wealth they witnessed from Muslim slavery, it is also true that African blacks, under the indoctronation of Islam, captured and enslaved more white Europeans in 1,200 years of slave raids on European shores than all of European and American slave trade combined.

Must read all!-----Articles: Russian Hacking and Collusion: Put the Cards on the Table-By Clarice Feldman

Articles: Russian Hacking and Collusion: Put the Cards on the Table:
"The  notion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump was a John Brennan/James Clapper confection created in an unorthodox way, and defied logic, given that Hillary and her associates had far closer connections to Russia than Trump or his associates did. 
John Merline writes at Investor's Business Daily:

THE CLINTON FAMILY BUSINESS [snip]

Bill Clinton received half a million dollars in 2010 for a speech he gave in Moscow, paid by a Russian firm, Renaissance Capital, that has ties to Russian intelligence. The Clinton Foundation took money from Russian officials and oligarchs, including Victor Kekselberg, a Putin confidant. The Foundation also received millions of dollars from Uranium One, which was sold to the Russian government in 2010, giving Russia control of 20% of the uranium deposits in the U.S. —  the sale required approval from Hillary Clinton's State Department. What's more, at least some of these donations weren't disclosed. "Ian Telfer, the head of the Russian government's uranium company, Uranium One, made four foreign donations totaling $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all such donors," the Times has reported.

JOHN PODESTA In March -- that is, long after the election was over -- it was revealed that Mrs. Clinton's campaign chairman had failed to disclose the receipt of 75,000 shares of stock from a Kremlin-financed company -- Joule Unlimited -- for which he served as director from 2010 to 2014, when he joined the Obama White House in 2014. Podesta apparently had a large chunk of the shares transferred to "Leonidio Holdings, a brand-new entity he incorporated only on Dec. 20, 2013, about 10 days before he entered the White House," according to a news account.

TONY PODESTA Mr. Podesta's bother, who has close personal and business relations with Mrs. Clinton, was "key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics," a March news story reported. The bank was "seeking to end one of the Obama administration's economic sanctions against that country." The report goes on to note that "Podesta's efforts were a key part of under-the-radar lobbying during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign led mainly by veteran Democratic strategists to remove sanctions against Sberbank and VTB Capital, Russia's second largest bank." Mr. Obama imposed the sanctions following the Russian seizure of the Crimean region of Ukraine in 2014.

JOHN BREAUX Forbes magazine reports that Mr. Breaux, a former Senator from Louisiana who cut radio ads for Mrs. Clinton's 2008 campaign, represents Gazprombank GPB, a subsidiary of Russia's third largest bank, on "banking laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions."

THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN In March, Mr. Putin's spokesman said that Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak met with members of Mrs. Clinton's campaign several times while she was running for president in 2016. Further, the campaign never disclosed the number or nature of these secret meetings.

As the great Sharyl Attkisson reports, 12 prominent public statements by those on both sides of the aisle who reviewed the evidence or been briefed on it confirmed there was no evidence of Russia trying to help Trump in the election or colluding with him: 

• The New York Times (Nov 1, 2016);
• House Speaker Paul Ryan (Feb, 26, 2017);
• Former DNI James Clapper , March 5, 2017);
• Devin Nunes Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, March 20, 2017);
• James Comey, March 20, 2017;
• Rep. Chris Stewart, House Intelligence Committee, March 20, 2017;
• Rep, Adam Schiff, House Intelligence committee, April 2, 2017);
• Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senate Intelligence Committee, May 3, 2017);
• Sen. Joe Manchin  Senate Intelligence Committee, May 8, 2017;
• James Clapper (again) (May 8, 2017);
• Rep. Maxine Waters, May 9, 2017);
• President Donald Trump,(May 9, 2017).
• Senator Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, indicated that his briefing confirmed Dianne Feinstein’s view that the President was not under investigation for colluding with the Russians.

Much, much more!
