Socialist Democrat Superstar Ocasio-Cortez Calls for 'OCCUPATION' of Airports: 'We Have to Mobilize' | Trending
"Democrat candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a huge splash since trouncing incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley in the NY-14 primary, calls herself a socialist and is big on activism, if not geopolitics.

So big on activism, in fact, that in an interview with Democracy Now! on Monday, she called for the "occupation" of airports and ICE offices as part of the effort to "mobilize" the so-called Resistance.

..."We have to have a rapid response," she said. 
"And I think every day that we go on, especially a day when something that heinous happens, we have to occupy all of it. 
We need to occupy every airport. 
We need to occupy every border. 
We need to occupy every ICE office until those kids are back with their parents, period."

...She called the Trump presidency "rising fascism" and said "we need to be ready to drop everything and go straight to LaGuardia airport. 

...Watch the video below for the entire, lengthy interview. The "occupy" comments begin at around the 52-minute mark.

Occupy every border, she says. Totally reasonable.

Barack Obama's Top 10 Apologies: How the President Has Humiliated a Superpower | The Heritage Foundation
"A common theme that runs through President Obama's statements is the idea the United States must atone for its past policies, whether it is America's application of the war against Islamist terrorism or its overall foreign policy. 
At the core of this message is the concept that the U.S. is a flawed nation that must seek redemption by apologizing for its past "sins."
On several occasions, President Obama has sought to apologize for the actions of his own country when addressing a foreign audience--including seven of the 10 apologies listed below. 
The President has already apologized for his country to nearly 3 billion people across Europe, the Muslim world, and the Americas.
The Obama Administration's strategy of unconditional engagement with America's enemies combined with a relentless penchant for apology-making is a dangerous recipe for failure.
 The overall effect of this approach has been to weaken American power on the world stage rather than strengthen it..."

Black GOP Intern Plans To Sue Uber For Denying Ride Because of MAGA Hats | Daily Wire

Black GOP Intern Plans To Sue Uber For Denying Ride Because of MAGA Hats | Daily Wire:

“What happened is this: they were guilty of the greatest sin, according to the progressive, socialist left – political apostasy,” West wrote. “They were black, but not liberal progressives, not Democrats, and they had the abject nerve to openly profess such … There will be no outrage from the Congressional Black Caucus, you know, the folks who claim to be the ‘conscience of the Congress.’ The NAACP, nor the National Urban League, has, to this point, made any statement condemning Uber and demanding an apology. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have not commenced any protests outside of Uber offices. Nor has Black Lives Matter been seen. This is just another manifestation of what Maxine Waters has called for, this time against three young, black congressional interns.”

What To Do When Your Doctor Asks About Your Guns

What To Do When Your Doctor Asks About Your Guns
"USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Have you had the experience of going to your doctor for a particular problem, let’s say headaches, and been surprised by the doctor asking you about a completely unrelated subject – whether you have a gun in your home?

It’s no accident that doctors’ or health plans’ questions about guns in your home have become routine. 
In the 1980s and 1990s medical professional organizations declared a culture war on gun ownership in America. 
...Claiming only to be concerned about “gun safety”, the latest code term for gun control, the AAP pushed its member doctors to advise families to get rid of their guns. 
One of the authors of the original AAP anti-gun policy, Dr. Katherine Christoffel, was quoted in an AMA journal as saying “Guns are a virus that must be eradicated.”..."

Trump Is Right to Meet Putin - POLITICO Magazine

Trump Is Right to Meet Putin - POLITICO Magazine: 
"President Donald Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin today, days after meeting with our NATO allies in Europe. 
Both meetings are important, and both cause confusion among politicians and those who report on them back home.
Foreign policy is difficult. 
It comes in many shades of gray, and those who treat it as a team sport do harm to our safety and to our politics.
Politicizing international affairs is a dangerous game, but that hasn’t stopped far too many in Washington, who seem to have forgotten that a vital part of keeping America safe and secure is avoiding war through strong and consistent diplomacy, from playing politics. 
One way they do that is to insist we not meet with or speak openly to our adversaries on the world stage.
I disagree. 
Dialogue is especially important when hundreds of millions of lives are at stake, as is the case in relations between the United States and nuclear-armed Russia. 
So I applaud Trump for both chiding our NATO allies and greeting its expansion with skepticism, and I applaud him for sitting down with Putin. 
We should be doing more of such self-examination and dialogue..."

‘It took Trump to do what Bush, Bill Clinton couldn’t’

‘It took Trump to do what Bush, Bill Clinton couldn’t’:

The criticism by two former presidents of President Trump’s re-examination of NATO, insisting allies pay their fair share, is ironic, says author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.
“An accounting, a re-examination is long overdue,” said D’Souza in an interview with the Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham regarding comments by former President George W. Bush and former President Bill Clinton last Thursday at a forum at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.
“It took an outsider like Trump to do it,” D’Souza said of Trump’s efforts to reform NATO

Fat Consumption is the Only Cause of Weight Gain - Neuroscience News

Fat Consumption is the Only Cause of Weight Gain - Neuroscience News:
"Scientists from the University of Aberdeen and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have undertaken the largest study of its kind looking at what components of diet – fat, carbohydrates or protein – caused mice to gain weight.
Since food consists of fat, protein and carbs, it has proven difficult to pinpoint exactly what aspect of the typical diet leads to weight gain.
...The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism and includes 30 different diets that vary in their fat, carbohydrate (sugar) and protein contents.
...Professor John Speakman, who led the study, said: “The result of this enormous study was unequivocal – the only thing that made the mice get fat was eating more fat in their diets.
...“Carbohydrates including up to 30% of calories coming from sugar had no effect. Combining sugar with fat had no more impact than fat alone.
There was no evidence that low protein (down to 5%) stimulated greater intake, suggesting there is no protein target.
These effects of dietary fat seemed to be because uniquely fat in the diet stimulated the reward centres in the brain, stimulating greater intake..."

Box Office Poison: 'Shock and Awe' Is Director Rob Reiner's 6th Mega-Flop in a Row:

This weekend, Reiner’s Shock and Awe crashed and burned at the box office. For some reason, even though it is 2018, Reiner is still wasting millions of dollars to attack former President George W. Bush. This, even after every single movie attacking Bush bombed.
What’s more, as if to prove just how insulated he is from real America, Shock and Awe tries to make heroes of journalists, a group currently enjoying approval ratings little better than child molesters.

Prof claims Trump ‘making microaggressions worse’ on campus

Prof claims Trump ‘making microaggressions worse’ on campus

• An associate dean at a Texas university claims that the election of Donald Trump is responsible for an uptick in microaggressions on college campuses.
• According to Nicole Walters, Trump's election has emboldened her white colleagues to inquire if she’s an affirmative action hire, suggest she’s in collusion with other black faculty members, and question her authority.

A professor at the University of St. Thomas in Texas recently blamed the Trump administration for the rise in microaggressions she and her colleagues have allegedly  faced from each other since the 2016 election. 

Nicole Walters published “Trump’s America is Making Microaggressions an Even Greater Reality for Women Faculty of Color” in the recent issue of the peer-reviewed academic journal Women, Gender, and Families of Color.
Walters—who is also a Dean at the Texas institution—cites the alleged rise in microaggressions on her campus as a “marked difference from President Barack Obama’s ethos of inclusivity and his message of hope and unity.”

Since the election, Walters claims that many of her white colleagues suddenly feel emboldened to inquire if she’s an affirmative action hire, suggest she’s in collusion with other black faculty members, and question her authority.

"BLAME THE MESSENGER:

A large, longitudinal, randomized, controlled study recently found that Tennessee’s pre-kindergarten program for low-income children had modestly NEGATIVE effects on academic achievement once the children were in the third grade. 
The program participants also had more disciplinary problems than non-participants, most of whom had stayed at home that year rather than participating in some other program. 
This is, of course, disappointing, especially since the study had found positive effects when measured at the end of the pre-kindergarten year. 
But those effects faded over time and turned negative..."

States Need Congress to Break Obamacare’s Medicaid Gridlock | The Heritage Foundation

States Need Congress to Break Obamacare’s Medicaid Gridlock | The Heritage Foundation:

Thankfully, there is a better path forward. Conservatives have offered a consensus plan—the Health Care Choice Plan—to provide states and people real choices.
Under this plan, the current funding streams—for subsidies to insurers and for the Medicaid expansion—would be converted to block grants to the states. States would be able to use these funds to develop their own programs to help low-income people without the complicated federal constraints of the Medicaid program.
It would end the funding imbalance between expansion and nonexpansion states and would stop the gaming and manipulation of Obamacare funding that inappropriately shifts costs to federal taxpayers.

Former Clinton WH Staffer: It's 'Tempting' to Beat up Rand Paul | Breitbart:

A former Clinton White House staffer and veteran presidential campaign staffer tweeted Sunday that “it would be tempting” to beat up Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) if he lived in the senator’s hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
I never advocate violence but if I lived in Bowling Green it would be tempting to beat the crap out of Rand Paul.
