Chelsea Clinton: 'Climate Change' Connects To 'Child Marriage' | Daily Wire:

"The event was hosted by CARE, a left-wing 501(c)(3) public charity that agitates for international wealth redistribution under the guise of “foreign aid,” “international development,” and “humanitarianism.”

Prevalent themes of the event included “feminism” (framing females as oppressed relative to and by men across the entirety of human history), “social justice” (religious groups such as Muslims were framed as “marginalized” in America and the broader West; income and wealth inequality between varying groups), and positioning socialism as a remedy for poverty.

Despite the event’s stated concern in addressing “global poverty,” not a word was spoken on the value of property rights, free markets, the rule of law, free speech and expression, or representative government."

Pension Shortfall Since 2009 is Enough to Give Every Teacher a $180K Bonus [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"From 2009 to 2016, the gap between how much the state of Michigan has saved and how much it needs to cover pension promises made to school employees and retirees has grown by $17.1 billion. The pension system’s unfunded liability was $12.0 billion in 2009, and it rose to $29.1 billion in 2016.
How much is $17.1 billion?
It's enough to give each of the state’s 95,000 public school teachers a $180,000 bonus."

University hosts training on how to 'reduce the impact of white privilege' - The College Fix

University hosts training on how to 'reduce the impact of white privilege' - The College Fix:
"Western Washington University is scheduled to host a workshop today that aims to “reduce the impact of white privilege on social and academic relations,” according to campus officials.
Part of its Campus Equity and Inclusion Forums, the event at the public university is designed for faculty, staff and students, who will use presentations, interactive exercises and facilitated discussions to learn “how to reduce the expression and effects of white privilege,” the university’s website states.
...“I think the harmful effects of ‘white privilege’ are that it can reflect an insensitivity to the subtle effects of both racism and lack of awareness of the differences between how people of color and people called ‘white’ are treated in everyday life,” Jimerson told The College Fix via email.
“Not being aware that other people face daily, often subtle, discrimination can make white people insensitive to these debilitating effects.”
The seminar is open to everybody, but Jimerson acknowledged it’s especially helpful for white people..."

Anatomy of a Deep State - WSJ

Anatomy of a Deep State - WSJ:
"On May 8 a woman few Americans have heard of, working in a federal post that even fewer know exists, summoned a select group of 45 people to a June meeting in Washington. 
They were almost exclusively representatives of liberal activist groups. 
The invitation explained they were invited to develop “future plans for scientific integrity” at the Environmental Protection Agency.
Meet the deep state. 
That’s what conservatives call it now, though it goes by other names. 
The administrative state. 
The entrenched governing elite. 
Lois Lerner. 
The federal bureaucracy. 
Whatever the description, what’s pertinent to today’s Washington is that this cadre of federal employees, accountable to no one, is actively working from within to thwart Donald Trump’s agenda.
There are few better examples than the EPA post of Scientific Integrity Official. (Yes, that is an actual job title.) 
The position is a legacy of Barack Obama, who at his 2009 inaugural promised to “restore science to its rightful place”—his way of warning Republicans that there’d be no more debate on climate change or other liberal environmental priorities.
Team Obama directed federal agencies to implement “scientific integrity” policies..."
