Texas Law Student Forced to Reflect on 'Toxic Masculinity' as Punishment | Breitbart
Texas Law Student Forced to Reflect on 'Toxic Masculinity' as Punishment | Breitbart:
While the student should certainly face punishment after being found responsible for harassment, it’s entirely unclear if reflecting on “toxic masculinity” is an appropriate punishment considering its ideological origins. It is appropriate for public universities to suspend students who harass others. It is not appropriate for them to adopt partisan talking points about the negative impact that men have on society.
The anonymous student told Campus Reform that the assignment made him feel like the university was pathologizing his gender. “That’s not just discrimination; that’s treating masculinity as a mental health issue, and pretending they have some pretentious duty to correct the supposed defects in my sex for the betterment of all society,” the student said.

Peter Strzok's Wife, Who Is SEC Director, Blocked FBI Investigations Into Clintons
Peter Strzok's Wife, Who Is SEC Director, Blocked FBI Investigations Into Clintons
"Hours after the FBI found classified Clinton emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop, Peter Strzok’s wife was promoted to a powerful position in the SEC and immediately blocked all criminal proceedings against the Clintons.
According to FBI sources, Peter Strzok and his wife Melissa Hodgman were instrumental in preventing Bill and Hillary Clinton from having to serve jail time for their numerous crimes.
Melissa Hodgman was promoted to deputy director of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Enforcement Division literally hours after Strzok and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe were debriefed about the Clinton emails found on Weiner’s computer.
...Perhaps Hodgman’s promotion was merely happenstance?
“There are no coincidences here,” one FBI source told True Pundit.
“Not with this crew. They wanted his wife in that SEC slot for a reason.”
But why?
Enter the Clinton Foundation.
We now know what the FBI knew after they seized the laptop during a search warrant at Weiner and Huma Abedin’s Manhattan residence:
There were thousands of documents on the laptop related to the Clinton Foundation, including offshore financial records..."

How Obama years were 8-year hacking nightmare
How Obama years were 8-year hacking nightmare:
If indeed Russia actually conducted dirty cyber tricks, as alleged, it happened on Obama’s watch. It happened before the election. Obama’s national security officials watched it and did nothing.
Interestingly, there is no special counsel investigating that kind of “collusion” by omission. There are no congressional hearings on it. And there is no media concern.

Will Geomagnetic Reversal Effects Cause a Worldwide Blackout?
Will Geomagnetic Reversal Effects Cause a Worldwide Blackout?
"Geomagnetic reversal effects are natural and spectacular, but they could also destroy the world as we know it.
While that may sound dramatic, renowned science journalist Alanna Mitchell’s book “The Spinning Magnet“ revealed that the next time Earth’s magnetic field flips, it could seriously damage the electric infrastructure that defines our modern civilization.
While magnetism is fascinating, it has also been historically misunderstood. According to Physics.org, Earth’s magnetic field exists because the planet’s solid iron core is surrounded by liquid metal...
Earth’s magnetic poles have reversed many times in the past, but scientists can’t predict when the next reversal will occur.
In other words, a magnetic field flip is coming, we just don’t know when...
...What are the potential outcomes of swapped North and South Poles?
Mitchell warns that a reversal could destroy anything electronic, including home appliances, satellites, wireless devices and the electric grids that make all these items work.
In an essay on Undark.org, Mitchell wrote, “We have blithely built our civilization’s critical infrastructure during a time when the planet’s magnetic field was relatively strong, not accounting for the field’s bent for anarchy.”

Maybe so, but in at least one alarming respect Russia may be converging with the West.

FBI used anti-Trump media to obtain spy warrants on Carter Page, campaign - Washington Times:
The FBI continued to tell judges that dossier writer Christopher Steele wasn’t the source of a news article the bureau used to corroborate a wiretap application when in fact Mr. Steele had publicly acknowledged he fed the anti-Trump story.
This chronology is contained in four heavily censored Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications obtained by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act.
The documents also show the FBI relied as evidence on mainstream media stories critical of the Donald Trump presidential campaign.

'The Cashless Society is a Con -- and Big Finance is Behind It' - Slashdot
'The Cashless Society is a Con -- and Big Finance is Behind It' - Slashdot
"An anonymous reader quotes this opinion piece by former derivatives broker Brett Scott:
Banks are closing ATMs and branches in an attempt to 'nudge' users towards digital services -- and it's all for their own benefit... I recently got a letter from my bank telling me that they are shutting down local branches because "customers are turning to digital", and they are thus "responding to changing customer preferences". I am one of the customers they are referring to, but I never asked them to shut down the branches... I am much more likely to "choose" a digital option if the banks deliberately make it harder for me to choose a non-digital option. In behavioural economics this is referred to as "nudging". If a powerful institution wants to make people choose a certain thing, the best strategy is to make it difficult to choose the alternative...
Digital systems may be "convenient", but they often come with central points of failure. Cash, on the other hand, does not crash. It does not rely on external data centres, and is not subject to remote control or remote monitoring. The cash system allows for an unmonitored "off the grid" space. This is also the reason why financial institutions and financial technology companies want to get rid of it. Cash transactions are outside the net that such institutions cast to harvest fees and data.
A cashless society brings dangers. People without bank accounts will find themselves further marginalised, disenfranchised from the cash infrastructure that previously supported them. There are also poorly understood psychological implications about cash encouraging self-control while paying by card or a mobile phone can encourage spending. And a cashless society has major surveillance implications..."Read all.

Wikileaks is all they've got, but they
- A- they can't prove it was hacked by Russians
- B- they can't prove it was a hack at all, vs copied to a flash drive, which better fits the time stamps on the files.
- C- can't claim that a word of wikileaks was false. All it did was confirm the lying, thieving, rigging corruption weve come to expect from the Clintons
- D- can't prove any republican had anything to do with it
If there was fakenews in the election it was the media's downplaying of wikileaks while blowing up their own nonsense memes that every republican is some kind of closet Nazi.
The left is colluding with Mexico.
10s of millions are here illegally, many voting, many engaging in political activism.
The NY Times is owned by a Mexican Billionaire.
What do the Russians control that is even remotely comparable and where are a comparable number of Republicans aiding their efforts." ~ Jeffrey Varasano

Illegal Immigration: Yes, Democrats Are Now The Party Of Open Borders
Illegal Immigration: Yes, Democrats Are Now The Party Of Open Borders:
Democrats want to neuter the one agency responsible for enforcing border security. They want to make it easy for illegals who cross to stay in the country. And they want to give them the right to vote.
Leading Democrats also adamantly oppose building a secure border wall. They support "sanctuary cities" that actively protect illegals from deportation. And they want to grant every illegal in the country amnesty.
And we're supposed to believe that Democrats aren't for open borders simply because they say so?

Congressman Jason Lewis Tells the Truth about Black Violence
Congressman Jason Lewis Tells the Truth about Black Violence
"The journalistic hounds at CNN have a new target, a politician whose sin is so egregious – so unthinkable – that it can hardly be spoken aloud: the recently elected congressman from Minnesota disagrees with CNN orthodoxy on race.
And now, with enthusiasm we have not seen since hordes of reporters descended on Rick Perry's boyhood hunting grounds where they found a 30-year-old racial expletive written under a rock, CNN has set out to punish Congressman Jason Lewis.
The sins of the congressman were easy to ferret out.
They came during a stint as a talk show host in Minneapolis around six years ago.
Lewis made the fatal error of questioning whether welfare dependence is good for black people.
Per usual CNN standards, none of the genius CNN talking heads are willing to actually talk with Lewis, other than call him names and say he is a bad person and hope no one notices the difference.
...The semi-official Starbucks-CNN policy is that black people are relentless victims of relentless white racism all the time, everywhere, and that explains everything..."

Nets Turn a Blind Eye to San Francisco Allowing Illegals to Vote
Nets Turn a Blind Eye to San Francisco Allowing Illegals to Vote
"Which would you say was more important, The Brady Bunch house going up for sale in Los Angeles or San Francisco giving illegal aliens the right to vote?
Well, for ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News, it was the former.
On Thursday, San Francisco began a campaign to register illegal immigrants so they could vote in school board elections.
Instead of reporting on that controversial liberal policy, ABC and NBC chose to focus on frivolous topics like the Brady Bunch house.
ABC also fawned over Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen playing together at Madison Square Garden, while NBC touted Baltimore banning sugary drinks from kid’s menus and parents fighting at Little League games.

Detroit Council Calls For $15 Minimum Wage; Many City Workers Get Less – Michigan Capitol Confidential
Detroit Council Calls For $15 Minimum Wage; Many City Workers Get Less – Michigan Capitol Confidential"Statement ‘strongly encourages downtown developers’ to pay a living wage
While the Detroit City Council recently voted unanimously to pass a resolution supporting a $15 per hour minimum wage, many city jobs pay less.
Janitors, lifeguards, secretaries and others earn in the $9-$12 per hour range, and internship positions are unpaid.
The council's resolution was passed on June 19 and supports a local union’s call for a minimum wage hike for janitorial and security workers employed by private firms in the city’s downtown.
More than a month after passing the resolution calling on employers to pay at least $15 an hour, the city government is still posting jobs paying less than that..."

Noncitizen illegal vote number higher than estimated - Washington Times
Noncitizen illegal vote number higher than estimated - Washington Times:
A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.
As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.
The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Hitler youth all over again.
I remember when summer camp was about learning to swim, fish, hike and having wholesome fun while learning about nature.
Now apparently, it's about leaning to be a Fascist.
Kids attending a social justice-themed summer camp designed their own Antifa flags, as revealed in pictures published Wednesday.
Children attending Camp Kinderland in Tolland, Massachusetts, designed nearly 50 Antifa flags as one of their summer activities.
The children created the far-left group’s flags using a variety of colors, ranging from the standard black and red to blue and even pink and black.
“Camp Kinderland is a multicultural summer camp and community that honors our progressive secular Jewish roots through our commitment to economic, racial, and social justice...”
