Jussie Smollett’s phony hate-crime story could have been taken apart in 24 hours, except for one thing: Nobody wanted to be the first to call bullsh**.
Who will bell the cat?
Not the police, and I don’t blame them.
Smollett is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump who checks two protected-category boxes: He is gay and he is black.
No police officer comes out ahead in any encounter in which he has to explain that he isn’t a racist or a gay-basher.
There isn’t much evidence that racist or homophobic attacks have increased in the Age of MAGA — partly because such episodes are so vanishingly rare in the United States that they are difficult to measure — but this is one of those things that everybody knows with such unshakable certainty that nobody really ever bothers to check.
Imagine being the first cop to catch a whiff of baloney on Smollett’s tale of martyrdom.
Saying as much — especially in a city such as Chicago — would be to put one’s career on the line..."

Vintage Bernie footage shows now-presidential candidate praising breadlines, communist nations | Fox News:
Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has never shied away from his embrace of a hard-left agenda, but the democratic socialist is facing renewed scrutiny over a catalog of comments he made in the 1980s praising the Soviet Union, offering advice to Nicaragua's socialist government -- and even saying breadlines in communist countries are a "good thing."

An American Epidemic: Toxic Imbecility – American Greatness
"...I can scroll Web, M.D. as well as anyone, so believe you me—forget all the other scourges ravaging our free republic, even if (nay, especially if) they are afflicting you.
Those scourges are mere distractions from the root cause of our impending doom.
No, I’m not talking about climate change/global warming/new Ice Age or whatever current false alarm the Left is sounding, for that false alarm is itself is a symptom of the new scourge; and, at the risk of sounding alarmist, our demise may well occur within the next twelve years.
For, as President Abraham Lincoln ominously noted, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
And Mr. Lincoln wasn’t just talking about Jussie Smollett paying for his hoax hate crime with a check.
What is this postmodern plague consuming our nation?
Toxic imbecility.
And where is the hot zone where this imbecilic chicken first came home to roost and now appears ready to cook our goose?

Cold not caused by global warming - CFACT
"What do heat waves, floods, droughts, rising sea levels, forest fires, hurricanes, African wars, mass extinctions, disease outbreaks, and human and animal migrations from South America and the Middle East have in common?
According to climate activists, they are all caused by dangerous man-made global warming.
And this, in turn, is supposedly caused by rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels resulting from our use of fossil fuels.
They might as well add alien invasions to the list, because it is all nonsense.
Indeed, the climate scare industry has achieved such a level of absurdity that, on February 1, journalist Andrew Revkin reported in a National Geographic article that, “Many stories in recent days highlighted studies concluding that global warming is boosting the odds of cold [weather] outbreaks.”
(As we delve into the realm of absurdity, however, let us not forget that, in 2011, scientists from NASA’s Planetary Science Division and Michael Mann’s Penn State University actually presented a report speculating that extraterrestrial environmentalists could be so appalled by our planet-polluting, climate-changing ways that they could view humans as a threat to the entire intergalactic ecosystem and decide to destroy humanity!)..."

Psychotherapist told he can't interview transgenders who regret 'transition' - WND
Psychotherapist told he can't interview transgenders who regret 'transition' - WND:
A judge in the United Kingdom has ruled that a university can reject a psychotherapist’s proposal to research why so many of his transgender patients regretted their transitions.
James Caspian contested in court Bath Spa University’s decision to block a research proposal for his Master’s degree, reported Premier, a Christian radio network in the U.K.
Lawyer Paul Diamond said Caspian had appealed a lower court’s refusal to grant judicial review of the dispute. But Judge Michael Kent in High Court agreed with the ruling.
Premier reported Caspian has worked with transgender patients for eight years and “wanted to investigate why some came to regret their transition.”
However, university staff blocked him, claiming the issue was “ethically complex” and that activists could target the university.
Caspian said “people have been telling me they’ve been harmed.”

No-reason absentee voting begins for Michigan residents | mlive.comFLINT TOWNSHIP, MI – Michigan voters now do not need a reason for requesting and filling out an absentee ballot for future elections.
...This beginning of no-reason absentee voting also expects to help bring up voter turnout across the state as well in places where it can be low.
“So we did a study already of looking where the lowest turnout areas are in our state,” Benson said, “and while there are some parts of Flint, Genesee County, that do vote in significant numbers there are many that do not and the same holds true in parts of Wayne County and rural counties in our state.”...

How to Register to Vote Step 3
If you hand-deliver your application, the staff person helping you will take your form and you don't need to do anything else.
If you have never registered to vote in Michigan and choose to mail in your application, you will need to meet an identification requirement.
This means you must:
- Enter your driver's license number or personal identification card number where requested on the form. OR
- Send a copy of ONE of the following forms of identification with your application:
- A photocopy of your driver's license or personal ID card, or
- A photocopy of a paycheck stub, utility bill, bank document or government document that lists both your name and your address..."
"...When you go to the polls on Election Day, you will be asked to present voter identification.
If you don't have acceptable photo ID, you can vote by signing an affidavit.
The affidavit can be used by 1) voters who don't have acceptable photo ID or 2) voters who have photo ID - but didn't bring it to the polls.."

"...So, in the interest of seeing the fuller picture, let's take a look at the timeline on which ISIS and Hoda Muthana converged.
Hoda's interest in ISIS began in November 2013, a year before she left Alabama for Syria, according to an interview she gave online to BuzzFeed in April 2015, from what was then her new home in Raqqa, Syria, via a messaging app called Kik.
During the year in which she was preparing to travel to Syria, ISIS was on the rise, and its character was plain to see.
It was so grotesque, so sadistic, so sickening, so bloodthirsty that it was all over the headlines and the internet -- which is how she was communicating with ISIS.

A full roster of ISIS atrocities would take volumes.

2014
For most of this year, Hoda was still in Alabama, using pseudonyms to communicate with and about ISIS on social media.
If she was aware of ISIS atrocities before she left the U.S. -- and it's hard to believe she knew nothing about them -- they did not deter her from going to Syria to join ISIS.- February — From Alabama, Hoda Muthana renews the U.S. passport initially issued for her at her father's behest in 2005.*
- May — ISIS displays crucified bodies in Raqqa, Syria. Here's CNN coverage from the time, with a warning about the graphic photos.
- June — ISIS declares its "caliphate" with Raqqa as its capital.
- August — ISIS releases video of captured American journalist James Foley, on his knees in an orange jumpsuit, and beheads him on camera.
- ISIS launches a genocidal attack on the Yazidis in Iraq, besieging tens of thousands of men, woman, and children who have fled to the upper reaches of Mount Sinjar, denying them access to food and water in temperatures rising above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The horrors go on and on, sickening to read about (see this 2016 UN report, "They came to destroy: ISIS Crimes Against the Yazidis,"based on interviews with survivors). Hundreds of Yazidis die on Mount Sinjar before the siege is broken. ISIS captures thousands of Yazidis, separates families, kills the men and older boys who refuse to convert to Islam, and enslaves the women and girls, starving and raping them, setting up a slave market in Raqqa where Yazidi girls as young as five are sold at auction.

"An important message for the survival of society.
Women must re-establish their deep love of men, for being sons, husbands, fathers, protectors, bread-winners, real men.
“Then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger — the future Pope Benedict XVI — said in a March 2000 speech in Palermo, Sicily, “The crisis of fatherhood we are experiencing today is an element, perhaps the most important element, threatening man in his humanity.”
The crisis, he clarified, is a “dissolution of fatherhood,” flowing from reducing paternity to a biological phenomenon without its human and spiritual dimensions.
Fathers are treated as superfluous, seen in the explosion of what sociologists now term “sperm dads,” “absent dads,” “dead-beat dads,” “visiting dads,” “nice-guy dads” and various other descriptors for fathers who have no decisive role in protecting, providing for, rearing and mentoring the children they’ve begotten.”
Opinion: Democrats abandon their integrity
Instead of focusing on issues that matter to Michigan families — roads, jobs, schools — Whitmer, Benson and Nessel have focused on scoring political points for their campaign contributors and radical special interests.

Be it fake hate or fake collusion, for nearly three years now, Donald Trump has been the target of an unprecedented campaign meant to end his candidacy and his presidency.
After the recent revelations of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, there should now be no doubt as to the existence of a nefarious "Deep State."
As revealed by McCabe himself in his soon to be published book, in May of 2017, angered by President Trump's firing of his boss, then–FBI director James Comey, McCabe, and his like-minded cronies at the FBI and the Justice Department foolishly plotted as to how they might invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the duly elected president from office.

Justice Department and FBI officials spied on U.S. citizens with false warrants, gave a pass to one presidential campaign with a predetermined investigation, investigated another political campaign on the basis of no verified evidence, and illegally leaked information on investigations. They discussed wiretapping and using the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to remove President Trump, and appointed a special counsel as a retaliatory move for Comey's firing.
The Manhattan Institute's Roger Kimball is right: "this plot to destroy a presidency is the most serious political scandal in our history." Kimball notes:
The FBI didn't like the President, so they plotted to remove him from office. That is the irreducible minimum, class, that you should take away from this whole sordid lesson. Top figures in the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not approve of the President. Therefore, they took steps to destroy him. Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General, several times offered to wear a wire to entrap the President.
"The most serious political scandal in our history," and, at best, most of the media yawn..."

The Greatest Scandal In the History of Science | Power Line
The Greatest Scandal In the History of Science | Power Line:
I have written many times about the unwarranted “adjustments” to measured past temperatures by government agencies, which serve to inflate the modest warming that has occurred in recent decades. Organizations around the world (NOAA and NASA-GISS here in the U.S.) have done this over and over, usually surreptitiously. The Manhattan Contrarian shares my opinion that this misrepresentation of the historical record is the worst scandal in the history of science. The most recent instance comes from Australia:
Nebraska state senator compares American flag to Nazi swastika
Nebraska state senator compares American flag to Nazi swastika"Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers on Tuesday compared the American flag with the Nazi swastika on the floor of the legislature.
“I don't come here for this rag every day, and it's a rag. That's all it is to me,” said Chambers about respecting the flag.
“When you show a way to persuade Jews to sanctify and worship the swastika, when you show me that I'll come up here and stand while you all hypocritically pretend that rag is something that it definitely is not.“
The comments were in response to a bill put before the Nebraska legislature that would update school civics requirements and make students more literate in “knowledge in civics, history, economics, financial literacy, and geography.”...
