Texas State University’s student senate recently held an “emergency meeting” to vote on a resolution calling on the school to ban its police department. The resolution was authored by one student senator who was arrested last week during an incident on campus involving the assault of a student wearing a MAGA hat, but appears to have not passed a student senate vote.

Theodore White - Deep Global Cooling: 2020s, 2030s & 2040s 
No photo description available."The weather of global cooling continues to makes it deadly mark on regions around the world.
Observe that there has been increased cloudiness with more precipitation over recent years.
As we are in the first phase of a three decade-long climate of global cooling under the Sun's Grand Minimum, I urge people to stay alert and seek safer regions to reside because worse is to come.
  • By May 5, 2019, the record-breaking floods in the American Midwest has killed four more people.
  • In the state of Iowa, the Mississippi River swelled 23 feet in the city of Davenport. It broke a record set during the Great Flood of 1993.
  • Floodwaters also swamped communities farther south in Burlington.
  • To the north, in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, flash floods submerged cars and families were forced to evacuate their homes.
...'HEAVY RAINS & FLOODS'
The greatest threat from global cooling, as I've always forecasted - is from torrential rain and floods - both urban and rural.
Understand that ice ages like the Maunder and Dalton Minimums saw populations experience extreme changes in the climate and weather.
Extreme weather happens because of the Sun's weakened solar winds and reduced magnetic field that affects the Earth's jet streams..."

End Hospitals’ Right to a Blank Check for Emergency Care | Economics21

See the source imageEnd Hospitals’ Right to a Blank Check for Emergency Care | Economics21
"Emergency medical care is an exception to the general principle of market exchange, whereby services are voluntarily bought and sold, with sellers competing on price.
Under federal law, hospitals are required to treat patients that arrive needing emergency medical treatment, regardless of their ability to pay—but allowed to subsequently charge whatever they wish.
In recent years, medical providers have increasingly exploited this arrangement by threatening exorbitant charges for out-of-network emergency care in order to force insurers to agree to generous reimbursement terms across the board.
Patients have frequently been caught in the crossfire, and forced to pay large “surprise bills” for emergency care by hospitals or doctors who remain out of network..."

The Unintended Consequences of "Free" College - Foundation for Economic Education

The Unintended Consequences of "Free" College - Foundation for Economic Education:
"...Unintended Consequences
Following President Obama’s lead, there has been a growing movement among progressives to make community college “free.” 
This has percolated all the way up to most of the candidates running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.
...In the end, regardless of jurisdiction, it’s the smallest minority that gets stuck with the bill: the individual taxpayer.
...Beyond the budgetary considerations, there’s also the moral hazard of which to be mindful.
When a good or service is free, a consumer tends to take less ownership of it.
...Some students would feel no pressure to simply walk away if it was “too hard,” nevermind the modest 2.0 GPA requirement.
...Affordability is not the culprit here.
Anyone above the “lower rungs of the economic ladder” who wants to go to a community college will sacrifice purchases that bring them short-term pleasure in order to improve their future.
This is not a scenario lacking in real-life examples.
In The Law, 19th-century French economist Frederic Bastiat said of such activism that
"the law has only two alternatives: permit … teaching-and-learning to operate freely … or … [take] from some … to instruct others, without charge. But in the second case, the law commits legal plunder by violating liberty and property..."'

  • A ban on skyscrapers. 
  • Wind turbines in the middle of one of the most overcrowded and noisiest cities on earth. 
  • Billions in building renovation costs. 
  • Stopping natural gas. 
  • Shutting down all the power plants.

"The Green New Deal is coming to New York City.
“We are going to ban the glass and steel skyscrapers which are inefficient,” Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on MSNBC.
That was the first warning most New Yorkers got of what their radical city government had wrought.
...Bill de Blasio claimed that the city would switch completely to ‘renewables’ in only 5 years. 
That would be a spectacular achievement since neither solar nor wind energy work all that well in New York..."

The Pentagon announced plans Friday to send a U.S. ship and a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East in an effort to deter actions from Iran.
Acting Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan gave the green light to move the USS Arlington and the Patriot battery, according to a statement. The latter is "a long-range, all-weather air defense system to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and advanced aircraft," the Pentagon said.

Maybe It's Time To Cut The Federal Government In Half

Maybe It's Time To Cut The Federal Government In Half:
"I think the time is coming for an idea that is so old that it is new again: cutting the Federal government in half.
The idea is: cancel all Federal welfare-type programs, including all means-tested welfare programs (apparently there are over 150 of them), all healthcare-related programs including Medicare and Medicaid, all education-related, arts-related and housing-related programs, and anything else of this sort -- in short, most everything except for the military, national parks, and maybe some public works.
Social Security could eventually be reformed to a system of private retirement accounts, known as a "provident fund" system and in use today in over thirty countries..."

"Most people understand that kids just want to be kids.
While adults run around squabbling over politics and careers, the childhood years are a time to develop and grow free of the complexities of adulthood.
But at an elementary school in Oregon, a teacher is being accused of trying to push her sexual views and politics onto a student, all hidden from parents.
To make matters worse, the student was only eight years old at the time.
“Parents in Woodburn said their 8-year-old son was held back from recess multiple times for one-on-one conversations about his gender identity,” reported KPTV News in Oregon..."

Michael Pillsbury Outlines China’s Biggest Miscalculation… | The Last Refuge
"Great interview segment between Lou Dobbs and Michael Pillsbury discussing the status of the U.S-China trade conflict.  
Pillsbury notes how the Chinese analysts likely fell into the trap of believing what most western financial media were saying about domestic opposition to President Trump’s policies.
One of the aspects to President Trump that bears a continual reminder is the importance of actual economic victory over optical political victory.   
President Trump is primarily focused on the former, and only concerned about the latter as it relates to his goal:

….to fundamentally restructure the way the American economy interacts with the global community. Economic security is national security.

That’s what President Trump cares about..."

Don't rule out Michelle Obama as Democrats' Hail Mary Pass to prevent a Bernie electoral apocalypse

Don't rule out Michelle Obama as Democrats' Hail Mary Pass to prevent a Bernie electoral apocalypse:
  • The Democrat convention is where it could happen. To save the Party. To save America. And most of all, to save the Obama Legacy from Orange Man Bad.
Michelle Obama has repeatedly said she doesn’t want to run for president, and she will not runfor president.
I believe her. 
But her husband once made a declaration that he would not run for president, until he did.
We have been on Michelle-for-President-watch longer than just about anyone else:
The logic of Michelle as Hail Mary Pass is as clear as it ever was. 
At least to me."

Cartels thrive in New Mexico county after feds shut down checkpoints

Cartels thrive in New Mexico county after feds shut down checkpoints:

Image result for flickr commons images New Mexico Border CrosingBlack, who has lived in this city of nearly 32,000 people his whole life, said he has 44 “gun toters” overseeing the county’s 6,628 square miles of lonely ranchland and pistachio orchards nestled among national parkland and Holloman Air Force Base.
Now the lawman said he has to deploy his own overworked forces to stop drugs such as methamphetamines, marijuana and fentanyl from coming through his territory, which is home to some 65,000 people.
Otero County is undefended because US Customs and Border Protection shut down two inspection facilities on US Routes 54 and 70, Black said. The Border Protection agents were sent south to El Paso to help with the massive influx of migrants. More than 800 have been arriving per day at the border near El Paso, according to Border Protection statistics.
