Inside the mind of the hate-America left

Inside the mind of the hate-America left:

"This little thought experiment is meant to provide just a tiny glimpse into the mind, worldview and de facto religion of what we call – in political code words – “the left.”
The left, which today entirely dominates the Democratic Party, has long demonstrated its dissatisfaction with America by striving to replace its free-market capitalist economic system with Marxism/socialism, replace its Judeo-Christian values with moral relativism and sexual anarchy, and replace its Constitution through audacious judicial activism.
And of course, the biggest “replacement” campaign of all is the left’s ongoing obsession with replacing you and me – traditionally minded, America-loving citizen-voters – via uncontrolled immigration, both legal and illegal."

Court case demands records on Carter Center terror support

Court case demands records on Carter Center terror support:

"that organization run by former President Jimmy Carter, as long as 10 years ago was targeted by a Michigan congressman for its officials apparently meeting with leaders of terror groups.
Wouldn’t really be off their agenda, since Carter himself has complained of “horrible persecution” of Palestinians by Israel, and has called on the Jewish state to give up land over it’s “atrocious” “domination” of Palestinians.”
Then just last month, the Zionist Advocacy Center filed a lawsuit against the center for allegedly using taxpayer funds to provide material support to international terror groups in violation of federal law.
The case alleges that in 2015, the Carter Center received more than $30 million in taxpayer grants while hosting designated terrorists at is facilities and providing various forms of assistance to the Palestinian terror group Hamas and other known terror entities.
And, significantly, the American Center for Law and Justice launched a Freedom of Information Act records demand to the State Department for records related to the Carter Center and the same issue.

"Ranking the fiscal health of Michigan’s 83 counties
A number of counties are struggling with public pension debt. 
But overall, northern Michigan counties tend to have better balance sheets, with less debt per capita and fewer long-term pension problems, according to financial data analyzed by the state treasury department. 
Several downstate counties, particularly in south-central Michigan, are not faring as well. "

Hey, Girls: Karl Marx Was a Monster - American Greatness

Hey, Girls: Karl Marx Was a Monster - American Greatness
"Teen Vogue, the leading journal of #TheResistance, has a feature lauding the ideas and intellectual contributions of Karl Marx (whose 200th birthday was last week).

Read that again. Teen . . . freaking . . . Vogue, which turned hard left after the 2016 election, is now touting the virtues of Marxist “thought.”

“While you may not necessarily identify as a Marxist, socialist, or communist,” Danielle Corcionne helpfully instructs, “you can still use Karl Marx’s ideas to use history and class struggles to better understand how the current sociopolitical climate in America came to be. Instead of looking at President Donald Trump’s victory in November 2016 as a snapshot, we can turn to the bigger picture of what previous events lead us up to the current moment.” 

The piece is full of sanitized junk like that.

Let’s dispense with the happy horse pucky, shall we? 
Marx was a racist and an antisemite. 
His idea of “liberation” led to the deaths of some 100 million people. 
“Marx may or may not have anticipated the scale of the slaughter to come,” writes Andrew Stuttaford, “but he understood perfectly well that mass murder was part of the package.”

Forgive me, but if you’re getting your explainers about Marxism from Teen Vogue, you’re doing it wrong. 

Read a book. 

Like this one. 

Or this one. 

Or this one. 

Definitely this one."

EMP Commission Warns Of Year-Long Blackout And A Massive Death Toll

EMP Commission Warns Of Year-Long Blackout And A Massive Death Toll
"A federal EMP commission report warns that even the smallest EMP attack on our grid system would down it for about a year, if not longer.  
A year-long blackout would certainly be coupled with a massive death toll that would devastate entire populations.

The so-called EMP Commission report said that this threat is very real, jeopardizes “modern civilization,” and would set back living conditions to those last seen in the 1800s. 
As a result of the chaos, millions would likely die, according to the report titled “Assessing the Threat from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP),” from the recently re-established Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.

“The United States — and modern civilization more generally — faces a present and continuing existential threat from naturally occurring and man-made electromagnetic pulse assault and related attacks on military and critical national infrastructures. A nationwide blackout of the electric power grid and grid-dependent critical infrastructures — communications, transportation, sanitation, food and water supply — could plausibly last a year or longer. Many of the systems designed to provide renewable, stand-alone power in case of an emergency, such as generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and renewable energy grid components, are also vulnerable to EMP attack,” said the 27-page report.

“A long-term outage owing to EMP could disable most critical supply chains, leaving the U.S. population living in conditions similar to centuries
 past, prior to the advent of electric power,” said the July 2017 report provided Secrets.

“In the 1800s, the U.S. population was less than 60 million, and those people had many skills and assets necessary for survival without today’s infrastructure. An extended blackout today could result in the death of a large fraction of the American people through the effects of societal collapse, disease, and starvation,” added the executive summary.

Three reports on the issue of an EMP attack have been declassified by the Pentagon and seven more are awaiting clearance...
