Fence-climbing illegal aliens cut in line as legal immigrants wait in obscurity | The Liberty Conservative

Fence-climbing illegal aliens cut in line as legal immigrants wait in obscurity | The Liberty Conservative:
"America’s most forgotten men and women may be the legal immigrants who acquire their visas, scale no barriers, and patiently await their Green Cards and citizenship ceremonies.
Amid the raging DACA debates, fugitive-city outrages, and this week’s Honduran-caravan epic at the San Diego/Tijuana border, these overlooked individuals ring America’s doorbell rather than pry open this country’s back entrance.
“I am stunned,” says Dr. Nayla Rush, Ph.D., a senior researcher with the Center for Immigration Studies.
She is staggered by the caravan members who waved Honduran flags atop America’s border fence. U.S. authorities arrested 29 of them for illegal entry.
...These people are marching in front of cameras, in front of the whole world,” Rush tells me.
“They demand to be admitted here. Where does this sense of entitlement come from?”..."

Study Confirms “Green” Hypocrisy | Power Line

Study Confirms “Green” Hypocrisy | Power Line
"In a finding that surprises, probably, no one, a new survey shows that the more a person claims to be concerned about global warming, the less likely he is to behave in environmentally friendly ways:

Participants in a year-long study who doubted the scientific consensus on the issue “opposed policy solutions,” but at the same time, they “were most likely to report engaging in individual-level, pro-environmental behaviors,” writes a research team led by University of Michigan psychologist Michael Hall.

Conversely, those who expressed the greatest belief in, and concern about, the warming environment “were most supportive of government climate policies, but least likely to report individual-level actions.”

Liberals are hypocrites? Who knew! From the study itself:

Believing in climate change, but not behaving sustainably: Evidence from a one-year longitudinal study..."

The Democrats' favorite sport: Ruining people

The Democrats' favorite sport: Ruining people:

"Over the past twenty-six years, the virus that is the Clintons on the American body politic has metastasized into a virulent auto-immune disease.  They are a virus that seeks to utterly destroy what it sees as an enemy but may well end up demolishing itself, with devastating results.  With Trump's win, this virus amped up its attack on all things Trump: his supporters, his agenda, his family, his friends, and his Cabinet and staff.  So intent on getting and keeping power and massive amounts of ill gotten riches were they that the American people chose, once and for all, to reject Hillary and to inoculate themselves from further damage at the hands of the Clintons and their sycophants."

Time to Declare Clinton Foundation Biggest Charity Fraud Ever

Time to Declare Clinton Foundation Biggest Charity Fraud Ever
"Documents show years of failure to file required records, with no official approval to change the organization's declared purpose
...Hillary lost (again) because very few Americans embrace suspicious, over-the-top living financed by crony capitalist payoffs (“speeches”) and charity frauds.
The former are easy to spot, but the latter are tougher to grasp, unless you study the laws and regulations of charities.
Writing about the Clinton Foundation for The Atlantic in the October 2007 issue, Jonathan Rauch framed the obvious eight years ago in the title of his piece: “This Is Not Charity.”
Rauch was correct that in 2007 and in the years that presidents George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama were in the White House, the Clinton Foundation only expanded the scope and geographic extent of its unauthorized, uncontrolled, and illegal fundraising activities, all the while subsidizing the majestic lifestyles of political families with dynastic ambitions..."

Gun Owner Will Give Birth In Prison After Trying To Protect Daughter From Assailant | The Daily Sheeple

Gun Owner Will Give Birth In Prison After Trying To Protect Daughter From Assailant | The Daily Sheeple:
"Siwatu-Salama Ra is a 26-year-old mother who will give birth in prison after using a legally purchased handgun to scare off an assailant. 
Ra’s daughter was in the car when the neighbor began ramming it with her vehicle.
Ra was forced to watch in horror as the angry assailant (a neighbor with whom Ra had a dispute) deliberately crashed her vehicle into Ra’s car while Ra’s two-year-old daughter was playing inside.
Ra removed her unloaded, legally purchased a handgun from the glove box and brandished it, scaring the neighbor off.
But for that “crime,” Ra will give birth behind bars.
...Harvey then used her cell phone to take a picture of Ra holding the gun and raced off to the police station, where she filed a police report.
Ra also filed a report, but Detroit police consider the first person to file a report to be the victim in a dispute, even though, in this case, Harvey initiated the violence.
For her “crime” of not wanting her property rights violated and defending her vehicular property and her child’s life, Ra is behind bars and will give birth to a baby while in prison."

City: 'If something is not permitted it is prohibited.' | Intellectual Takeout:
"Should Americans have a right to garden in their own yards?
If you looked at this question, shook your head, and answered, “Of course! Why would we not?” then it would seem there is still some common sense left in the world.
Unfortunately, that common sense doesn’t always extend to the powers that be, and the citizens of Columbiana, Ohio, are learning that the hard way.
According to an article in the Salem News, the city government of Columbiana recently informed citizens that they don’t have a right to plant and maintain a garden in their own yards:
...The city had no laws pertaining to residential gardens, which means they were technically not allowed.
According to the city’s laws, if something is not permitted it is prohibited.
‘Right now, if there is not something expressly in this code that says that you can have one, you technically can’t,’ Blakeman confirmed.”..."

American University orders students to agree women can revoke consent after sex - The College Fix

American University orders students to agree women can revoke consent after sex - The College Fix: "It’s creating a culture on campus that it’s okay to re-write history’
If a man and a woman are both drunk and they have sex, the man is the rapist if the woman decides he is at some point, regardless of how she felt in the moment.
This is what American University is teaching students in a required sexual consent module, according to Red Alert Politics.
...Former AU student Sydney Jacobs said she was threatened with academic probation if she didn’t complete the training a year ago, and when she did, the module called her a “N00B” (gamer slang for “newbie”) because her answers were wrong:
“I was shocked,” said Jacobs.
“The program explicitly says they’re both too drunk to give consent but then says the man coerced the woman into a dangerous situation. The hypothetical specifically says neither gave consent but then says the woman can take certain steps towards legal options. It concludes the man likely committed sexual assault.” …
“Ultimately my problem with the whole thing is it’s creating a culture on campus that it’s okay to re-write history and rescind your consent when you’re not happy with the outcome. People are scared to hook up without facing repercussions that aren’t warranted.”
Jacobs is further incensed because the same training is used at public universities including the University of Florida and Kansas State University, meaning taxpayers are funding the message that “it is okay to rescind consent and then [the] man is always at fault.”..."

Weaponizing the Government for Leftist Political War - American Greatness

Weaponizing the Government for Leftist Political War - American Greatness
"...Yet Mueller is ignoring the people who actually appear to have colluded with Russia. 
Leading Republicans and Democrats agree no evidence of any Trump-Russia collusion has been found. 
If any existed it already would have leaked and Mueller would be acting on it. 
The Trump-Russia collusion story is a lie. 
This makes it all the more ironic that those pushing the collusion narrative are the only ones directly connected to any questionable Russian dealings.
Consider some of these examples of Leftist projection:

• The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee covered up their payments to Fusion GPS for the so-called Steele dossier, with its Russian sources, by paying a law firm to fund the opposition research firm. That represents an in-kind campaign contribution far larger than any alleged payment to the porn star Stormy Daniels;
• The 2010 Uranium One deal transferred control of 20 percent of U.S. uranium reserves to a Russian entity, followed by related parties contributing $145 million to the Clinton Foundation;
• FBI agents ultimately reporting to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, in a prior role, and Andrew McCabe (when Mueller was FBI director) had gathered evidence showing Russian nuclear industry officials engaged in “bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering” in the United States. But Rosenstein and McCabe did not disclose it during the subsequent Uranium One approval process and the FBI, under Comey, let the investigation die;
• Roughly two-thirds of the U.S., European, and Russian companies that participated in Skolkovo, a new Moscow high-technology center that included the transfer of dual-use technologies from the United States, donated to the Clinton Foundation or sponsored speeches by Bill Clinton;
• Both Podesta brothers—John and Tony—had their own shady Russian business deals; and,
• Hillary Clinton appears to have compromised national security by, among other things, sending emails from Russia and emailing classified information, all via an unsecure email server.

Yet, Mueller has not interviewed Clinton, her campaign officials or other people connected to them, nor have any of their offices, homes or lawyers been raided..."

3. If Solar And Wind Are So Cheap, Why Are They Making Electricity So Expensive? 
Good question from Michael Shellenberger writing in Forbes, here’s part of the answer:

What gives? If solar panels and wind turbines became so much cheaper, why did the price of electricity rise instead of decline? Electricity prices increased by:

• 51 percent in Germany during its expansion of solar and wind energy from 2006 to 2016;
• 24 percent in California during its solar energy build-out from 2011 to 2017;
• over 100 percent in Denmark since 1995 when it began deploying renewables (mostly wind) in earnest.

The reason? Their fundamentally unreliable nature. Both solar and wind produce too much energy when societies don’t need it, and not enough when they do. Solar and wind thus require that natural gas plants, hydro-electric dams, batteries or some other form of reliable power be ready at a moment’s notice to start churning out electricity when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining."

Opinion | The Iran Deal Is a Lie - The New York Times

Opinion | The Iran Deal Is a Lie - The New York Times: 
"“The sanctions lifting will only occur as Iran takes the steps agreed, including addressing possible military dimensions.”
That was State Department spokesman John Kirby in June 2015, speaking just as negotiations for the Iran nuclear deal were wrapping up. 
But Tehran did not “take the steps agreed.” 
The deal was founded on a lie.
Two lies, actually. 

• The first was Iran’s declaration to the International Atomic Energy Agency, prior to the implementation of the deal, of the full extent of its past nuclear work. 

This was essential, both as a test of Tehran’s sincerity and as a benchmark for understanding just how close it was to being able to assemble and deliver a nuclear warhead.

• The second lie was the Obama administration’s promise that it was serious about getting answers from Tehran. 

In a moment of candor, then-Secretary of State John Kerry admitted “we are not fixated on Iran specifically accounting for what they did at one point in time or another” — but then he promised Congress that Iran would provide the accounting.
That was when the White House still feared that Congress might block the deal. 
When it failed to do so, thanks to a Democratic filibuster, the administration contented itself with a make-believe process in which Iran pretended to make a full declaration and the rest of the world pretended to believe it.
“Iran’s answers and explanations for many of the I.A.E.A.’s concerns were, at best, partial, but over all, obfuscating and stonewalling,” David Albright and his colleagues at the nonpartisan Institute for Science and International Security wrote in December 2015. 
“Needed access to sites was either denied or tightly controlled as to preclude adequate inspections.”..."

"After tax reform, a stampede from high-tax states.
That headline arrives via email from a money manager in northern New Jersey. 
The Garden State already has the third largest overall tax burden and the country’s highest property tax collections per capita. 
Now that federal reform has limited the deduction for state and local taxes, the price of government is surging again among high-income earners in New Jersey and other blue states. 
Taxpayers are searching for the exits.

In the financial industry of course it’s not just the clients who are looking for greener pastures. One hedge fund manager moving his office to a southern state reports that his new home on a golf course will be more than double the size of his house in Chatham, N.J. while generating just one third of the current property tax bill.

...“We structure real estate deals for family offices and high-net-worth individuals and at a record pace those family offices and individuals are leaving the TriState for lower-tax states. Probably a dozen this year at least,” he writes via email..."

"The process is complete. The Boy Scouts, a once proud and important organization that helped shape boys into young men, is dead. It had been dying for sometime, but now it is official. In an announcement that would have seemed like an outlandish parody only ten years ago, the Boy Scouts said today that they will be dropping "Boy" from their name. They shall henceforth be known only as Scouts."
