Judicial Watch Releases New Hillary Clinton Email Admitting Blackberry Use ‘Against the Advice of the Security Hawks’ - Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch Releases New Hillary Clinton Email Admitting Blackberry Use ‘Against the Advice of the Security Hawks’ - Judicial Watch:

"In a recent court filing pertaining to the currently pending motion to compel Clinton to answer interrogatory questions she refused to answer under oath Judicial Watch argues that interrogatory 14 is particularly important:

Image result for flickr commons images BlackberryInterrogatory 14 seeks to uncover why Secretary Clinton continued using a personal BlackBerry to conduct State Department business after being advised of the risks in doing so.  This interrogatory is pertinent because Secretary Clinton’s personal BlackBerry was an integral part of the operation of the clintonemail.com system, a subject squarely within the scope of discovery.  It was how she accessed her email.  Without her personal BlackBerry, there likely would have been no clintonemail.com system because the Secretary did not use a desktop or laptop and a State Department BlackBerry would have linked to an official “state.gov” email account.

The questions were submitted to her by Judicial Watch under a court order on August 19, 2016, in a separate lawsuit."




Setting The Record Straight: IRISH: THE FORGOTTEN WHITE SLAVES

Setting The Record Straight: IRISH: THE FORGOTTEN WHITE SLAVES
"They came as slaves: human cargo transported on British ships bound for the Americas. 
They were shipped by the
hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.
Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. 
Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. 
Some were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.
We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? 
We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.
But are we talking about African slavery? 
King James VI and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.
The Irish slave trade began when James VI sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. 
His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies.
By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves..."

David Barber, the university's renowned Arctic researcher, and chief scientist of the BaySys project, said 40 scientists on the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Amundsen made the decision to postpone the $17 million project until next year after two weeks onboard because they realized the ship was needed elsewhere due to the continued extreme ice conditions in southern waters around Newfoundland and Labrador.
..."It's the second most powerful icebreaker in the country and we had trouble getting through the sea ice," Barber, the Canada Research Chair in Arctic Systems Science at the university, said on Monday..."

Liberals For Segregation ...

Liberals For Segregation ...:
"It’s no secret that a lot of liberals nowadays don’t want to be called … liberals.
Can you blame them?
In recent years the word has taken a beating; conservatives would say, for good reason.
So instead of liberal, the word many of them choose is … progressive. 
Image result for democrats kkkWho’s against progress? 
But euphemisms can’t hide inconvenient truths: that too many liberals have forgotten how to be liberal – and too many progressives act more like “regressives.”
Take race.
Remember when liberals were the ones leading the fight to dismantle segregation?
When they were the ones who wanted to take skin color out of the equation?
Today, it’s progressives who sound like George Wallace.
On college campuses around the country, liberals still care about racial segregation – but not the way liberals used to care about it.

  • At some schools they want a “safe space” reserved for students of color – no whites allowed. 
  • At Evergreen State in Olympia, Washington, students demanded a day with no whites on campus. 
  • At several other colleges, they’re offering segregated housing for black students. 
  • And a few weeks ago, Harvard held a special graduation ceremony — for black graduate students only. 

It’s the first time in the schools long history they’ve done anything like that..."

Image result for flickr commons images Haamas Terror Tunnels"For a number of years now, Israel has warned the world of these terror tunnels to no avail. In the past, Israeli jets have struck sites near UNRWA precisely because of the fact that many of these schools double as arms storage facilities. These carefully coordinated precision strikes have nonetheless drawn the wrath of the United Nations, the same organization that has suggested that Israel is engaged in a campaign of gratuitous slaughter against perpetually victimized Palestinians.

But now, UNRWA’s own findings back what Israel has been saying all along."

It's Confirmed: Without Government Subsidies, Tesla Sales Implode | Zero Hedge
"The punchline: "price really matters." 
And, by extension, taxpayer subsidies.
What happened next is probably obvious. 
As Bloomberg explains, while the government’s original plans anticipated to phase out tax breaks from 2016 to 2020, when they would be treated in the same way as fossil fuel-powered cars, on April 18, having taken note of the drop in sales, the government decided to change the rules.
"It’s no secret electrical vehicle sales have been below what we expected a year and a half ago," Tax Minister Karsten Lauritzen said in a statement. "The agreed phase-in has turned out to be hard and that likely halted sales."

The new rules mean the transition to a post-subsidy era has been postponed until at least 5,000 new electric cars are sold over the 2016-2018 period. Tax breaks will in any case be progressively eliminated as of 2019, regardless of sales numbers. The plan envisages a 40 percent registration tax minus a 10,000 kroner ($1,500) deduction in 2019, with the tax rising to 65 percent in 2021, 90 percent in 2021 and 100 percent in 2022.
...Should the rest of the world follow in Denmark's example, the same thing would happen to Tesla's market cap, which at last check amount to just over $800,000 per car sold..."

So-Called Anti-Fascists Have Proved They Are Worse Than the 'Fascists' They Oppose | Heat Street
"Are anti-fascists the new fascists?
Anti-Semitic attacks, book burnings and black-shirted mobs violently silencing dissent: is the liberal West regressing to the toxic mindset of 1930s Nazi Germany?
On both sides of the Atlantic, there’s an ugly mood in the air.
In the UK, we’re sitting under a hung Parliament, where liberal cartoonists “joke” that we should hang our Prime Minister, Theresa May.
The day of the UK election, Twitter was awash with liberals competitively setting fire to copies of the Daily Mail &The Sun, British newspapers which had the temerity to attack hard-left socialist Prime Ministerial candidate Jeremy Corbyn.
Some intimated that Hitler would have approved of such tactics.
...But banning white guys from movie theaters is the least of America’s problems.
There, anti-fascists set fire to universities and violently assault people (including women) whose views they don’t like.

Top MIT Scientist: Global Warming Science Is 'Propaganda'

Top MIT Scientist: Global Warming Science Is 'Propaganda':

Image result for flickr commons images Ice caps"A paper by five leading climatologists published in the journal Science and Education found only 41 out of the 11,944 published climate studies examined in Cook’s study explicitly stated mankind has caused most of the warming since 1950 — meaning the actual consensus is 0.3 percent.

“It is astonishing that any journal could have published a paper claiming a 97% climate consensus when on the authors’ own analysis the true consensus was well below 1%,” said Dr. David Legates, a geology professor at the University of Delaware and the study’s lead author."

What is phubbing and could it hurting your relationship?:
"New research suggests this pernicious problem is wrecking emotional havoc.
Yep, you could be a phubber and not realise it. 
Do you spend more quality time with your phone than you do with your partner?
Are you compulsively checking for notifications and endlessly scrolling through your social media feeds while in the presence of your significant other?
Image result for PhubbingIf this sounds like you, you may be one of millions of people experiencing what is a relatively new psychological condition known as ‘phubbing’ that, according to influential new research, may be slowly eroding your relationship with your partner.
Phone addiction is a ‘thing.'
Seriously
Phubbing is a portmanteau of ‘phone’ and ‘snubbing’ and occurs when conversation is interrupted by attention being given to a smart phone rather than the person you’re with. 
...Julie believes tech companies like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter deliberately feed on our inherent psychological need for interaction and acceptance to manifest digital addiction and keep us coming back to them time and time again.
“You can be so seduced by the neurochemical hit of dopamine it provides, of constant connection at a safe distance … who else wants to reach me, the number of likes I’ve got, another funny story to read, the excitement of something new … that it can easily become what you do with your spare time,” she says.
“So it’s not much of a jump from that to also continuing to do so when you are with your partner, instead of using this time as an opportunity to connect with them...”

As Soaring Pension Debt Eats Budgets, Teacher Says Reform ‘Makes No Sense’ [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

As Soaring Pension Debt Eats Budgets, Teacher Says Reform ‘Makes No Sense’ [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"...South Lyon Community Schools teacher Keith Kindred has written commentaries for the Michigan Radio website, talking about education from a teacher’s vantage point.
With Michigan’s underfunded school pension system in the headlines, Kindred’s latest commentary asks why legislative leaders want to give new school employees their own retirement fund contributions rather than continue to sign them up for lifetime government pensions.
“Still, the Republican leadership’s relentless drive to take out that anger on our union and its members is illogical, at best, and perhaps pathological.
Image result for pensions disasterTheir recent attempt to dismantle the teacher pension system, for example, simply makes no sense,” Kindred wrote.
ForTheRecord says: Since 2010, when Kindred first start writing for Michigan Radio, the South Lyon school district he works for has seen its required contributions to the pension fund rise from $3.2 million to $10.4 million in 2016.
That’s a $7.2 million increase.
The $10.4 million contribution — most of which goes to catch up on past underfunding — represented 14.2 percent of the school district’s entire general fund budget.
This is the budget that provides money for daily operating expenses, including teacher salaries.
Kindred earned $78,829 last year.
This year, South Lyon has 496 teachers.
If the pension burden had stayed the same as it was in 2010, each teacher could have received a $14,500 bonus this year.
Instead, the money went into a school retirement system whose debts have been rising, not going down.
It’s also a system that may leave more than half of new teachers with nothing because they don’t remain on the job for 10 years."
