"...In the true confessions department, I once had to spend 45 minutes behind bars in a county lockup. 
Never you mind just how this happened! (“It was all just a misunderstanding officer! Really, I swear it!”)
The intake process involved removing my tie, my belt, shoes, my wristwatch, and—in what struck me as the most unnecessary step—even my wedding ring. 
There wasn’t even toilet paper in the cell that I could attempt to swallow if I wanted to try to choke myself or throw spitwads at another cell dweller (who were all passed out in any case).

If a local county lockup can take these kind of precautions against self-harm, it beggars belief that a federal facility, guarding the most high-profile criminal in the country just now, couldn’t prevent a hanging. 

This stinks.

Attorney General Barr is asking for an FBI investigation and and Inspector General investigation. 

Why an IG investigation, too? 

Maybe he doesn’t trust the Clinton-friendly FBI? 

(On the other hand, if this IG report takes as long as most of them do to finish, we’ll be dead from global warming before we see it.)"

Dishwasher regulations draw Trump administration scrutiny - Washington Times

Dishwasher regulations draw Trump administration scrutiny - Washington Times
"For years, consumers have complained about slower, noisier dishwashers that produce dirtier dishes, the result of tighter federal efficiency regulations that the Trump administration is now seeking to unload.
The Energy Department last month proposed a rule to create a new dishwasher product class that would finish a normal cycle in an hour or less by using less stringent energy standards than permitted under the current rules.
...the ever-tighter restrictions on energy and water have produced machines that take twice as long without getting dishes as scrubbed as earlier models.
“Basically, these dishwashers have turned into crap, and it is solely the result of the Department of Energy’s so-called efficiency regulations,” said Mr. Kazman..."

Senate hearing exposes 'massive scale' election meddling: 'These companies are going to go all out' in 2020 - TheBlaze

Senate hearing exposes 'massive scale' election meddling: 'These companies are going to go all out' in 2020 - TheBlaze:

During his testimony, Epstein, a lifelong liberal who has been researching the impact of Google for more than six years, told Cruz that in 2016 Google pushed "between 2.6 and 10.4 million votes" to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton through "search engine manipulation effect, the search suggestion effect, the answer bot effect, and a number of others."
"The methods they are using are invisible. They're subliminal. They are more powerful than most any effects I've ever seen in behavioral sciences, and I've been in behavioral sciences for almost 40 years," Epstein said.

"...And their response to it is to launch a brainwashing/gaslighting campaign to find white supremacy where there is none.

...For instance, according to the New York Post, this is what passes for fighting white supremacy in NYC schools: Richard Carranza held ‘white-supremacy culture’ training for school admins.

This presentation included the following slide:

...Instead, let's consider that individualism is now supposed to be white supremacy, and if you like working on your own, or dislike group work... you're supposedly a white supremacist.

Let's consider instead stuff like perfectionism -- you know, trying to make things as perfect as possible and calling out people on their f*ck ups. 
Or a sense of urgency -- or as we call it around here, having your work done on time. 
Or what they call "worship of the written word," which apparently is the ability to express yourself in writing. 
Or objectivity, which they define as BELIEVING THERE'S AN ULTIMATE TRUTH..."

‘Stress Reduction Policies’ Let Students Choose Their Own Grades

‘Stress Reduction Policies’ Let Students Choose Their Own Grades
"A professor at the University of Georgia created a “Stress Reduction Policy” that allows students who feel “unduly stressed” to choose their own grades, according to a Monday report.
Richard Watson incorporated the policy into two business courses...
“If you feel unduly stressed by a grade for any assessable [sic] material or the overall course, you can email the instructor indicating what grade you think is appropriate, and it will be so changed,” Watson said in a syllabus revised Friday for MIST 4610: Data Management.
...All exams will be open-book.
“Only positive comments about presentations will be given in class,” the policy continues..."

Must read!!-----Igniting Civil War – American Greatness

Igniting Civil War – American Greatness
"Government sponsorship of violence against opponents or complacency in the face of incitement to violence is a powerful tool of political repression. Regimes such as Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Nicaragua, China, and other tyrannies have used such tactics to great effect.
When mobs attack anti-government demonstrators, for example, the police either disappear or stand by watching. 
In American cities run by Democrats and on the U.S. college and university campuses, the authorities increasingly have been standing by as radicals do the dirty work of beating up or silencing conservatives.
In societies riven by mutual hate, the people who control the police and public communications make all the difference. 
...When societal hatred or the partiality of authorities results in deaths, long-smoldering cold civil war can blaze into holocaust.
We Americans are now facing the danger of a civil war thus ignited.
...What we face now is worse.
What’s Typical in Civil Wars?
Classic civil wars, from Thucydides’ account of the Corcyrean revolution of 431 B.C. to the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939, tend to be far more bitterly murderous than anything that has yet happened in America.
These wars ignite when public power abets—or is perceived as having abetted—violence in longstanding social struggles, when authorities treat opponents as outside the protection of the laws, or when they criminalize political differences outright..."

Review: The mosquito isn’t just annoying — Timothy C. Winegard says we’re at war - Los Angeles Times
"...The mosquito is no mere backyard annoyance to be swatted away.
...He contends that the Magna Carta was ultimately signed because Westerners couldn’t survive the mosquitoes in the Mediterranean.
European slave traders came to prefer Africans because of their immunity to the mosquito-borne diseases plaguing the New World.
And those two vanished settlements in the swampy American South, Jamestown and Roanoke?
I’m sure you can guess what Winegard blames for their demise.
While the mosquito was changing human history, it also was changing some human bodies too.
...Seventy percent of the NFL’s players are African American and therefore potential carriers of the sickle-cell trait.
This genetic mutation, which turns round red blood cells into a crescent (or sickle) shape, first affected farmers on the Niger River delta nearly 8,000 years ago as a defense against mosquitoes. (Parasites harboring a brutal strain of malaria can’t stick to the unusual shape.)..."

MSNBC Guest Calls For Literal Mob Of Pitchforks And Torches Outside Trump Donor's Hom
"...On MSNBC Thursday night, guest Elie Mystal took the hysteria over supporting President Trump one step further, saying that protesters should form literal mobs outside the SoulCycle and Equinox chairman's home in the Hamptons due to his support for the commander-in-chief.  

"People of color are already targeted under this administration," Mystal said Thursday night regarding Rep. Castro's actions. 
"I have no problem with shining the light back on the donors who fund this kind of racialized hate."
"I mean I go further, I want pitchforks and torches outside [Stephen Ross'] house in the Hamptons," Mystal continued. 
"I've been to the Hamptons, it's very nice. There's no reason why it has to be. There's no reason he should be able to have a nice little party. There's no reason why people shouldn't be able to be outside of his house and making their voices peacefully understood..."

From Tuesday's edition of MSNBC's 'Hardball' with host 
Chris Matthews:

MALCOLM NANCE, MSNBC: I think that we're finally in for a great societal change where we're finally addressing this issue...This country has had several of these mass incidents, but I think we're overdue for a Breivik-style real massacre of a political nature.

These people feel that they are the foot soldiers and executors of what the disenfranchisement that the white race is feeling and Donald Trump is giving them subliminal orders in their head. They are no different than the mobilized, self-starting, self-radicalized terrorists of ISIS here in the United States and Europe, who take cars and drive down streets. It's just that they have a permissive environment in which they can get firearms and go out and attack their perceived enemies."

Gaslighting, and The Lies Media Moves About Donald Trump | 93.1 WIBC
"This isn't disagreement. 
These are lies, purposeful and obscene. 
And if left unchecked, they can not only destroy a president, they can destroy our nation.
Lies have been told. 
And those lies about President Trump - pushed by media and celebrities and political elites - have been allowed to take hold in America. 
And we must put an end to them. 
A decent society demands that lies be called out, and corrected. 
And those who lie must be called out, and admonished. 
...It is gaslighting.
The definition of gaslighting is to manipulate someone by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. 
...Nowhere is this more prevalent than the media  vs. President Trump and the GOP, and on no subject is it more prevalent than white supremacy and bigotry in the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton...

...On MSNBC, Nicole Wallace made one of the most obscene statements of late, claiming that the president is talking about exterminating Latinos:

 

When? 
Where? 
...Gaslighting: Trying to put forth the idea that Donald Trump is only interested in the destruction of people who look differently than he does. 
Nicole Wallace came out with a nonsensical apology on Twitter:

Nicolle Wallace

✔@NicolleDWallace

I misspoke about Trump calling for an extermination of Latinos. My mistake was unintentional and I’m sorry. Trump’s constant assault on people of color and his use of the word “invasion” to describe the flow of immigrants is intentional and constant.

Only 4 of 14 FBI Staff Who Misused Classified Info Were Fired

Only 4 of 14 FBI Staff Who Misused Classified Info Were Fired:

Fourteen FBI agents and executives have been referred since Jan. 18 to the bureau’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for mishandling classified information, but only four of them have been fired, according to documents made public Aug. 6 by Judicial Watch.
Of the remaining 10 employees, four of them have received nothing more than a letter of censure in their official personnel file, while the other six were suspended without pay for periods ranging from one day to 60 days, but averaging 10.5 days.
The OPR is obscure but wields significant power because, according to its website, the office “investigates certain misconduct allegations involving federal law enforcement agents when they relate to a department attorney’s alleged professional misconduct.”
