Poll: Media's All-Out Assault on Trump Only Hurts Trust in Journalists
Poll: Media's All-Out Assault on Trump Only Hurts Trust in Journalists:
Polling proves that public trust in the establishment media has collapsed in every imaginable way during Trump’s presidency.
There is no doubt anymore that corporate media’s ongoing assault against President Trump has backfired in a way that journalists will never recover from.
An IBD/TIPP poll asked about “the public’s perception of the mainstream news media” and found that “fully half the country says its trust in the media decreased over the past two years,” while only eight percent say they have more trust in the media.

Political Journalists Are Trying To Gaslight America
Political Journalists Are Trying To Gaslight America:
No matter how many times, for instance, you quote the plain language of the Virginia or New York abortion bills, they won’t acknowledge that both legalize the procedure until the moment of birth for virtually any reason.
No matter how many times you show them language in those bills that protect doctors who terminate babies who are born alive from prosecution, they shake their heads as if you’re indulging in some right-wing conspiracy theory.
No matter how many times you provide them with data that shows more than 15,000 abortions of viable babies being performed every year––most, if not all, having nothing to do with “saving the mother’s life”––they say “no.” (I’ve experienced it personally.)
...The same game is being played with the Green New Deal proposal..."

- During President Trump’s speech in El Paso yesterday, a Vox writer feigned indignation and claimed that “Trump falsely accuses Ralph Northam” of saying the governor supports “a newborn baby [coming] out into the world, and wrap the baby, make the baby comfortable, and then talk to the mother and talk to the father and then execute the baby. Execute the baby!”
- Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, retweeted the claim to her million followers. To put this in perspective, Haberman’s following on Twitter is nearly as large as the Times’ daily weekday circulation.

Rats, Public Defecation And Open Drug Use: Our Major Western Cities Are Becoming Uninhabitable Hellholes – End Of The American Dream
Rats, Public Defecation And Open Drug Use: Our Major Western Cities Are Becoming Uninhabitable Hellholes – End Of The American Dream
"Almost everyone that goes out to visit one of our major cities on the west coast has a similar reaction.
Those that must live among the escalating decay are often numb to it, but most of those that are just in town for a visit are absolutely shocked by all of the trash, human defecation, crime and public drug use that they encounter.
Once upon a time, our beautiful western cities were the envy of the rest of the world, but now they serve as shining examples of America’s accelerating decline.
The worst parts of our major western cities literally look like post-apocalyptic wastelands, and the hordes of zombified homeless people that live in those areas are too drugged-out to care.
The ironic thing is that these cities are not poor.
In fact, San Francisco and Seattle are among the wealthiest cities in the entire nation.
So if things are falling apart this dramatically now, how bad will things get when economic conditions really start to deteriorate?
Let’s start our discussion by looking at the rat epidemic in Los Angeles.
Thanks to extremely poor public sanitation, rats are breeding like mad, and at this point they have even conquered Los Angeles City Hall…"

Coloradans Fight Big Pharma and Big Soros to Stop Nation’s First Heroin Injection Site
Coloradans Fight Big Pharma and Big Soros to Stop Nation’s First Heroin Injection Site
"Among all the twisted, oxymoronic and just plain moronic theories of the left, the most radical is their campaign to combat the opioid scourge by helping addicts to shoot up.
They call this a “harm reduction site” – as if aiding addicts to keep injecting killer drugs into their veins benefits them.
The addict would come to the injection site, go into a booth, and shoot up.
Medical personnel on hand would administer a heroin antidote if the addict overdosed.
And that’s called “saving a life.”
Yet the powerful thought leaders in the drug lobby, the Drug Policy Alliance and its sister group Drug Policy Action, (DPA) rake in millions each year from shady billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundations to convince the public and government officials that opening hard drug injection sites across the country is the most compassionate thing we can do for drug users..."

Roger Stone Files Motion to Force Mueller to Prove He Didn't Leak to CNN
Roger Stone Files Motion to Force Mueller to Prove He Didn't Leak to CNN:
Longtime political operative Roger Stone on Wednesday filed a motion requesting a federal judge force special counsel Robert Mueller to prove he did not tip off CNN about his January 25 arrest.
Stone’s legal team argues CNN showed it a draft copy of the indictment, stamped without a PACER, after their client’s arrest, suggesting the document had been released prematurely. “A person with privileged access to a ‘draft’ of Roger Stone’s Indictment, identical to that which had been filed under seal … had — in violation of the Court’s Order — publicly distributed the Indictment prior to its release from the sealing ordered by the Court,” the filing reads.

No plastic gloves or dressings: Inside the last pediatric surgical ward in Caracas - CNN
"Caracas, Venezuela (CNN)Six-year-old Antonella was diagnosed with throat cancer four years ago, and her mother brings her to Domingo Luciani Hospital in Caracas as often as she can for chemotherapy.
Today, however, it's Antonella's mom who is being treated -- for malnutrition, a state-inflicted malady that is sweeping across oil-rich Venezuela.
Struggling to feed herself and her child, she fainted when she walked into the hospital where Antonella is slowly dying.
The trips are becoming less frequent as the hospital struggles to restock the drugs Antonella needs. Medicine is just one of a long laundry list of essential supplies that the country, gripped by a political and humanitarian crisis, is lacking.
Doctors at Domingo Luciani depend on donations to feed their patients.
Electricity at the hospital is intermittent, and the pharmacy is almost empty.
Absent too is the familiar odor of disinfectant -- there's none left..."

“I am calling bulls–t not just on AOC but on her progressive enablers in the news media who are giving her a pass on the most crucial test of moral and political leadership of our time when it comes to climate change: a person’s stance on nuclear power,” said Michael Shellenberger, the founder and president of the non-profit Environmental Progress.

Anti-Americanism: As German as Apple Strudel | Homeland Security
Anti-Americanism: As German as Apple Strudel | Homeland Security
"...Eighty-five percent of respondents in an Atlantik-Brücke survey, reported FAZ, view the U.S. either “negatively” or “very negatively.”
Many Germans look more favorably upon Communist China than upon the U.S.; more than half would like Germany to distance itself further from the U.S., with only thirteen percent wanting a closer relationship.
Germans aren’t big on NATO, either:
Only a quarter of those surveyed think their country should pay its agreed-upon share of the NATO budget.
...None of this is remotely surprising.
The recent discovery that Claas Relotius, a star reporter for Germany’s leading newsmagazine, Der Spiegel, had invented more than a dozen negative news stories about America drew renewed attention to the fact that, with or without Relotius onboard, Der Spiegel has long been a poisonously anti-American rag whose cover stories routinely depict America as a cartoon villain.
As James Kirchick wrote in a commentary for The Atlantic, “Relotius told them what they wanted -- what they expected -- to hear about America.”
The fact that his stories, many of them patently absurd, not only made it past Der Spiegel’s editors and fact-checkers but also didn’t raise readers’ eyebrows “revealed ugliness,” argued Kirchick, “within the publication as well as German society more broadly.”
Yep.
...But in fact German anti-Americanism has nothing to do with Trump.
Of course anti-Americanism exists everywhere in the world, and especially in Europe, whose political and cultural elites viewed the democratic U.S. from the moment of its founding with aristocratic disdain.
But contempt for the U.S. has always been especially intense -- and irrational -- in Germany, which has its own distinctive reasons (if that’s the right word) for despising the superpower across the sea..."

Abortion survivors on new late-term abortion bills: 'Where were my rights in the womb?' | Fox News
Abortion survivors on new late-term abortion bills: 'Where were my rights in the womb?' | Fox News:
Proponents of abortion bills say they are pushing for women's reproductive rights, but three survivors of the procedure say it is a human rights issue. All three survived even though their birth mothers attempted to abort them.
New York triggered a firestorm of debate after publicly celebrating a bill that allows abortion in many cases up to the point of birth and decriminalizing the act that can now be performed by a non-doctor. Then, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, amid a state abortion bill debate, made comments that were perceived as infanticide, saying the child, post-birth, would be "resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired."

FBI scrambled to respond to Hillary Clinton lawyer amid Weiner laptop review, newly released emails show | Fox News
FBI scrambled to respond to Hillary Clinton lawyer amid Weiner laptop review, newly released emails show | Fox News:
Newly released internal FBI emails showed the agency's highest-ranking officials scrambling to answer to Hillary Clinton's lawyer in the days prior to the 2016 presidential election, on the same day then-FBI Director James Comey sent a bombshell letter to Congress announcing a new review of hundreds of thousands of potentially classified emails found on former Rep. Anthony Weiner's laptop.
The trove of documents turned over by the FBI, in response to a lawsuit by the transparency group Judicial Watch, also included discussions by former FBI lawyer Lisa Page concerning a potential quid pro quo between the State Department and the FBI -- in which the FBI would agree to effectively hide the fact that a Clinton email was classified in exchange for more legal attache positions that would benefit the FBI abroad, and allow them to send more agents to countries where the FBI's access is ordinarily restricted.

Where Is The Outrage Over Corporate Welfare?
Where Is The Outrage Over Corporate Welfare?"I recently read the February 24 Good Jobs First report, “Subsidizing the Corporate One Percent,” by Philip Mattera, a respected thought leader in our business.
It says that three-quarters of all state economic development subsidies went to just 965 corporations since the beginning of the study in 1976.
The Fortune 500 corporations alone accounted for more than 16,000 subsidy awards, worth $63 billion – mostly in the form of tax breaks.
Think about that.
The largest, wealthiest, most powerful organizations in the world are on the public dole.
Where is the outrage?..."

So much here but especially note the contempt, for anyone religious ("holy rollers"), shown by the "journalist"----- Whitmer signs directive prohibiting LGBTQ discrimination on religious grounds | News Hits
Whitmer signs directive prohibiting LGBTQ discrimination on religious grounds | News Hits"Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Monday signed an executive directive that will help protect the LGBTQ community from discrimination in state employment and contracting.
A similar December directive issued by then-Gov. Rick Snyder barred state contractors from discriminating against gay or transgender employees, but included a "religious freedom" exemption that allowed churches and other religious organizations to discriminate.
Whitmer's directive — which she signed at Affirmations, an LGBTQ center in Ferndale — requires holy rollers to follow the same rules.
In a press release, state Sen. Jeremy Moss — Michigan's first openly gay senator — outlined what the directive does.
...to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression — which will now be consistent with the action taken by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission in May 2017.
“If we're going to attract the talented workforce our businesses need to create jobs and grow our economy, then we’ve got to get on the right side of history,” Whitmer said in a news release. “That’s what this executive directive is all about."
In his release, Moss said the legislature still has work to do "to ensure full equality for the entire LGBT community."
