Facebook Punishes Conservative News Site for Criticizing Mass Migration
Facebook Punishes Conservative News Site for Criticizing Mass Migration:
"Facebook has repeatedly punished a fast-growing news website for its conservative views on immigration and other topics–suspending its moderators, censoring content, and threatening to close the site down.
Voiceofeurope.com, which takes pride in its “uncensored news,” has been effectively bludgeoned into submission by Facebook and recently announced it will self-censor on the social media site to avoid losing its page."

Vaccines: Decades Of Misinformation Have Succeeded | Science 2.0
Vaccines: Decades Of Misinformation Have Succeeded | Science 2.0:
"Though less than a dozen school children will be slain by a gun in any given year, American society is mobilized with marches and media against firearms.
Meanwhile, on average 55,000 Americans will die from the flu, which has a vaccine.
In states like California, anti-vaccine sentiment ran so high on the coast that the state had to pass a law forcing parents to comply or not have their kids enrolled.
Some schools in Marin county had fewer than 30 percent of children vaccinated.
Philosophical exemptions just by families in the wealthiest parts of California exceeded the number of religious exemptions nationwide - by 1000 percent.
...They found that the vaccine hesitancy phenomenon started before the 1990s, and it was due to scandals, like the European thalidomide disaster of 1962, along with the emergence of new styles of parenting, second-wave feminism, and the popularization of alternative medicine.
...In the United States, we even give supplements, naturopathy and other "alternatives" to real medicine quasi-legitimacy by giving them federal funding under the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, which claims to study but really shields what used to be called folk medicine, and then alternative medicine, and then complementary medicine and is now relabeled again as integrative medicine.

The Sun will get unusually cold by 2050 and might trigger a mini ice age - IBTimes India
"A study by the University of California San Diego has said the Sun will experience a cold period where all solar activities will be reduced drastically.
Scientists warn of unusually cold Sun: Will we face another ice age?
...A study by the University of California San Diego has claimed that by 2050, the Sun is expected to become cool.
You might think "what's the big deal," but remember that this means the solar activities that create the heat of the Sun to sustain life on Earth may diminish.
And the last time it happened was in the 17th century when the Thames River froze.
Scientists call this the "Maunder Minimum".
...Researchers at the Northumbria University have claimed that a mini ice age will start by 2021 and is expected to reduce the effect of global warming, but not stop it."

Constitution Challenged As Federal Court Bans AR-15 - Conservative Daily Post
Constitution Challenged As Federal Court Bans AR-15 - Conservative Daily Post:
"Second amendment supporters know all too well the danger in banning any types of guns. While the left is quick to question why the average civilians may have a need for any particular model of firearm, this type of overreach instigates a slippery slope which soon infringes on the constitutional right to bear arms.
Devastatingly, this is already occurring in Massachusetts where a federal court made a traitorous ruling that rifles such as the AR-15 are not protected under the second amendment as they are similar to guns used for military service."

William McKinley statue removal in Arcata, California expands liberal push to erase history - Washington Times
William McKinley statue removal in Arcata, California expands liberal push to erase history - Washington Times:
"A California town’s effort to remove a statue of former President William McKinley shows that the leftist bent for erasing politically incorrect figures from the public square no longer is reserved for slave owners, Confederate generals and segregationists.
On the heels of the Confederate monument purge across the South, the town council of Arcata, California, voted to take down a statue of the 25th president, despite McKinley’s sterling record on civil rights.
Among other things, McKinley fought to abolish slavery in the Civil War, resisted demands to fire Catholic state workers as governor of Ohio and appointed a record number of blacks to federal positions as president."

A Broken FBI Promise - WSJ:
"...But already both the FBI and the Justice Department are back to their old tricks.
At issue is a memo related to the opening of a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties with Russia in 2016.
Such information is crucial for Congress to get an accurate picture of how Justice and the FBI handled this investigation.
House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R., Calif.) has written to both Director Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein asking for an unredacted version for all committee members to see. The bureau says it will not provide the material because it is too sensitive.
Mr. Nunes notes this is ridiculous, given that the document “is not highly classified.”
More to the point, if an Intelligence Committee made up of elected representatives of the American people is not qualified to see such material, no one is..."

Social media sites are littered with seemingly innocuous little quizzes, games and surveys urging people to reminisce about specific topics, such as "What was your first job," or "What was your first car?" The problem with participating in these informal surveys is that in doing so you may be inadvertently giving away the answers to "secret questions" that can be used to unlock access to a host of your online identities and accounts. ...But I thought it was worth mentioning because certain social networks -- particularly Facebook -- seem positively overrun with these data-harvesting schemes. ...Nevertheless, your answers to these questions may live in perpetuity online, giving identity thieves and scammers ample ammunition to start gaining backdoor access to your various online accounts."Read all!

Unmanned Technology: Breaching the Battlefield with the Brits
"U.S. soldiers, Marines, Department of Defense civilians, and troops from the United Kingdom observed and tested a series of unmanned, remote-controlled ground vehicles during a combined training event at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, April 2, 2018.
The training event was conducted in preparation for a larger demonstration of unmanned capabilities, called the Robotic Complex Breach Concept.
“Being able to take soldiers out of harm’s way and accomplish the mission is very an attractive option to any commander,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jesse Curry, commander of the 82nd Brigade Engineer Battalion, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
“It’s a capability that the enemy will not know how to counteract when we implement it. This type of technology enables us to stretch further while conserving resources...”

The Trans Destruction of Sport - CultureWatch
The Trans Destruction of Sport - CultureWatch: "Oh look, a guy pretending to be a girl almost whooped all the female competition at the Commonwealth Games at the Gold Coast.
But thankfully an injury has forced him to withdraw.
The only thing worse than this outrage are all the brainless twits in the media calling this guy a ‘she’ and referring to him as a ‘her’.
The New Zealand athlete, Gavin Hubbard, who now pretends he is a she, and calls himself Laurel Hubbard, was to have competed today in a weightlifting event.
But an elbow injury has meant he was forced to withdraw from competing.
And that is a good thing too.
The bulky guy would have easily beaten all the real women in the competition, illustrating what an utter farce the trans con game is, and what numbats our sporting officials are.
That they even allowed him to compete as a woman in the first place shows what PC goofballs they are.

"After nearly 100 years of gun control London, and the UK as a whole, are looking at knife control as the latest step in trying to dissuade the criminally-minded from carrying out their schemes.
London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan used a tweet to go after knives with verbiage similar to gun control rhetoric. He said, “No excuses; there is never a reason to carry a knife.”"

People Would Rather Pop A Pill Than Exercise To Lower High Blood Pressure | Science 2.0:
"When the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention drastically lowered the 'blood sugar' level, the HbA1C test, to 5.7 percent for a potential precursor to disease labeled "prediabetes" the rest of the world jeered.
In China, that would mean 500 million people worried they have a disease.
In America, it would mean 80 million more potential patients.
When it came to data, less than 5 percent of those with that A1C level would ever go on to develop type 2 diabetes...in their entire lives.
Advocates insisted that this would warn people to start exercising, but realists knew the truth.
Many were going to demand medicine and when they did not get it, members of Congress were going to be yelling at insurance companies.
We know it's true, people accept science so much they feel comfortable taking a pill, especially if it means not having to wait for exercise to help.
A new study affirms that. In a recent survey presented at the American Heart Association's Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Scientific Sessions 2018, people told them were to imagine having high blood pressure (which itself is not a disease, but that is a different article) and choosing between a pill, a shot, drinking tea, or exercising, people chose a pill, followed by tea.

Mike Lee: Federal Government Has Been Making Opioid Crisis Worse
Mike Lee: Federal Government Has Been Making Opioid Crisis Worse:
"WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said the federal government has contributed to the opioid crisis and caused “substantial harm” over time.
“When faced with a crisis of this particular magnitude, it is easy to say that maybe the solution could be found in a new raft of government programs.
...“There is strong evidence that the government has itself done substantial harm by, among other things, paying for a flood of pain pills through Medicaid and the Medicare prescription drug benefit,” he said.
“Before we jump into any other government-funded solution, we should reckon with the damage that this kind of mentality and this kind of programmatic response through our nation’s capital has already caused.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last week that drug overdoses killed 63,632 Americans in 2016, and nearly two-thirds of these deaths involved a prescription or illicit opioid.
...Lee said the U.S. has to “recognize that culture matters” when it comes to drug addiction.
...The harder task, really, will be to change the broader culture within American communities and families to make them more resilient to drugs,” he added..."
