NFL HELL: Ticket Prices Fall To $10 As Teams Struggle To Fill Stadiums | Daily Wire
NFL HELL: Ticket Prices Fall To $10 As Teams Struggle To Fill Stadiums | Daily Wire:
"The NFL protests have been lucrative for social justice charities — they'll receive a whopping $89 million in "settlement" money, redirected from veterans and breast cancer charity funds — but they're also becoming a boon for cash-strapped football fans.
It turns out, if you can still stomach a professional football game, you can now get tickets for about the same price as a couple of Starbucks lattes."

Meat Taxes Could Join Carbon and Sugar to Help Curb Emissions | Fortune
Meat Taxes Could Join Carbon and Sugar to Help Curb Emissions | Fortune:
"Move over, taxes on carbon and sugar: the global levy that may be next is meat.
Some investors are betting governments around the world will find a way to start taxing meat production as they aim to improve public health and hit emissions targets set in the Paris Climate Agreement.
Socially focused investors are starting to push companies to diversify into plant protein, or even suggest livestock producers use a “shadow price” of meat — similar to an internal carbon price — to estimate future costs.
Meat could encounter the same fate as tobacco, carbon and sugar, which are currently taxed in 180, 60, and 25 jurisdictions around the world, respectively, according to a report Monday from investor group the FAIRR (Farm Animal Investment Risk & Return) Initiative.
Lawmakers in Denmark, Germany, China and Sweden have discussed creating livestock-related taxes in the past two years..."

10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist Should Ask On a First Date - Everyday Feminism
10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist Should Ask On a First Date - Everyday Feminism
"As a queer femme of color, I keep close relationships with people who go beyond allyship; they’re true accomplices in the fight against white supremacy, queerphobia, and misogyny.
If you’re not going to support marginalized folks, then we can’t be friends, let alone date.
The personal is political.
Beyond the lovely cushioning, happiness and support that we receive from our platonic relationships (which are, in all honesty, soul-feeding and essential), feminists also date!
But there are questions we have to ask before we get close to someone.
The following list of questions is applicable to all relationships — certainly not just cisgender, heterosexual ones:
1. Do you believe that Black Lives Matter?
Yes?
Wonderful.
Let’s start here.
There are three categories that are non-negotiables for me: an understanding of race, class, and gender...
3. How do you work to dismantle sexism and misogyny in your life?..."

President Trump’s Jerusalem Move Deals a Blow to Terror | Frontpage Mag
President Trump’s Jerusalem Move Deals a Blow to Terror | Frontpage Mag:
"Hamas has announced that President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has opened the “gates of hell.” Its Muslim Brotherhood parent has declared America an “enemy state.”
The Arab League boss warned that the Jerusalem move “will fuel extremism and result in violence.” The Jordanian Foreign Minister claimed that it would “trigger anger” and “fuel tension.”
“Moderate” Muslim leaders excel at threatening violence on behalf of the “extremists”.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) warned that recognizing Jerusalem will trigger an Islamic summit and be considered a "blatant attack on the Arab and Islamic nations."
The last time the OIC was this mad, someone drew Mohammed. And wasn’t stoned to death for it."

Starving polar bears are the fake news face of climate change | Watts Up With That?
"Summary: Climate activists have made polar bears “the face of climate change.”
This week we see how they have done so: with fake news.
That they do so instead of relying on science tells us much about them — and why they have achieved so few policy changes after 30 years of these tactics.

Is Jeff Sessions being blackmailed?
Is Jeff Sessions being blackmailed?:
"...Regarding President Kennedy, there was surely a great deal in the dossier, especially as concerned his scandalous relationship with Marilyn Monroe.
Kennedy, who had been rumored to be planning to replace Hoover, quickly changed his mind after one of those meetings.
So much for the accusations.
Let's talk current events.
Jeff Sessions, as senator, had a long history of being a staunch conservative.
As such, he favors small government, strict accountability, and unwavering obedience to the law...
Yet, in recent months, he seems uncharacteristically timid in the face of obvious corrupt practices in both the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, both of which are under his authority.
He has shown no aggression in cooperating with congressional inquiries.
What could possibly explain this?..

Amnesty International caught taking Soros cash to push abortion in Ireland:
"Amnesty International, the sanctimonious purported human rights group that champions halting the death penalty, has been caught taking $160,000 from George Soros's Open Society Foundation to promote...abortion, in contravention of Irish law.
File under "unclear on the concept" in championing the value of human life.
It's hard to say which player in this drama here is most loathsome."
