Child abuse!-----The Disturbing, Exploiting Trend of Down Syndrome Drag Is Coming to the US ⋆ Activist Mommy

The Disturbing, Exploiting Trend of Down Syndrome Drag Is Coming to the US ⋆ Activist Mommy
"We have previously reported on a group of drag queens and kings with Down syndrome from the UK, and how disturbing and confusing it is that the left embraces those with Down syndrome when they are decked out in drag despite pushing for babies with Down syndrome to be aborted in the womb. 
Now it would appear this trend is coming to America. 

LifeSite News reports:

A public art event in Grand Rapids, Michigan next month will feature men and women with Down syndrome performing as “drag queens” and “drag kings.”  

A drag group known as “Drag Syndrome” is comprised of performers with Down syndrome, and is an LGBT activist’s attempt to promote so-called “inclusion.”  Their performances feature song and dance by men wearing women’s dresses, garish makeup, wigs, and in some cases fake breasts. Women sport beards and men’s clothing.

A local TV channel, Wood TV, reports that “some people may be concerned because people with Down syndrome have limited mental capacity that they might not have the ability to decide to take part or understand what they are taking part in.” ...

Whittney Williams Was An Illegal Immigrant — Now She’s A Trump Supporter Trying To Unseat A Democrat In Michigan | The Daily Caller:

Whittney Williams at age 10 entered the U.S. illegally from Taiwan, but now she’s running for Congress in Michigan with high hopes for a border wall and zero tolerance for socialism.
Williams – Director of Diversity for the 11th Congressional District Republican Committee – announced her aspirations to unseat Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens Monday. Stevens, who voted yes on a $15 federal minimum wage and co-sponsored a bill condemning president Trump’s “racist rhetoric,” may eventually have an unorthodox contender.

Geologic Forces Melted Icelandic Glacier, Not Climate Change | Climate Dispatch

Geologic Forces Melted Icelandic Glacier, Not Climate Change | Climate Dispatch
"In an astonishing turn of events, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) just cosponsored a“climate change funeral” for an Icelandic glacier positioned atop a volcano that is part of and fueled by one of the most volcanically active faults on our planet, the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Rift System(Figure 1).

Here we show how geologically induced heat from the underlying Okjokull Volcano (Figure 1) acted to melt the overlying Okjokull ‘funeral’ glacier, which had little to do with climate change.

...A more plausible explanation is that the Okjokull Volcano has recently become much hotter/increased its bedrock geothermal heat flow in recent years. 
This heat flow increase has acted to rapidly melt the Okjokull Glacier..."
Much proof provided.

Barack Obama Barred A Member Of The Israeli Knesset From Visiting US In 2012 | The Daily Caller:

Critics called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s move to bar two freshman Democratic congresswomen from entering Israel “unprecedented” — but just seven years ago, former President Barack Obama barred a member of the Israeli Knesset from entering the U.S.
When news broke that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not allow freshman Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, pundits and political figures alike were quick to voice their criticisms.

8 Frightening Characteristics of Propaganda | Intellectual Takeout

8 Frightening Characteristics of Propaganda | Intellectual Takeout
"Jacques Ellul’s Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes (1965) has been called “a far more frightening work than any of the nightmare novels of George Orwell.” 
In it, the French philosopher and sociologist dispels some of the popular notions about propaganda and exposes how it really operates in the modern world.

In the first chapter of the book, Ellul describes some of the characteristics of modern propaganda.
Eight of them appear below:

...2) It Focuses on the Mass

“...The most favorable moment to seize a man and influence him is when he is alone in the mass: it is at this point that propaganda can be most effective.”

3) It is “Total”

“Propaganda must be total...

4) It Takes Over Education

“Education and training are inevitably taken over, as the Napoleonic Empire demonstrated for the first time...

6) It Must be Subtle at First

“Direct propaganda, aimed at modifying opinions and attitudes, must be preceded by propaganda that is sociological in character, slow, general, seeking to create a climate, an atmosphere of favorable preliminary attitudes…

7) It Must be Nonstop

“[Propaganda] must fill the citizen’s whole day and all his days… 

8) It Aims at Irrational Action

“The aim of modern propaganda is no longer to modify ideas, but to provoke action...

Does this sound like anyone’s playbook today?"

The Climate is Always Changing...----THE DAILY GLOBAL WARMING HOAX REPORT

THE DAILY GLOBAL WARMING HOAX REPORT--Pete Fiske

"The Climate is Always Changing...

For the past half-century, the extent to which the planet is warming or cooling, and its causes, have become matters of scientific and political debate. 
For much of that time, the debate was not about global warming, but global cooling.

The modern era of instrument-derived record keeping goes back only about 150 years, to the 1880s. 
Satellite data go back only about 40 years. 
That means we don’t have a true baseline of global data that pre-dates the Industrial Revolution.

But from the data we do have, we can draw a few conclusions. 
From the 1880s until about 1910, the data suggest that the earth was cooling. 
Then, from about 1910 until about 1940, the earth seemed to be warming. From 1940 until about 1975 came another cooling trend.

...In 1974 Time magazine published “Another Ice Age?” 
It looked at the data from the “cooling period” of the previous 25 years and arrived at a similar conclusion."

Congressman Stockman’s Case Is A Dark Omen Of Political Repression To Come | The Daily Caller

Congressman Stockman’s Case Is A Dark Omen Of Political Repression To Come | The Daily Caller:

Can the case of my husband, Steve Stockman, be an alarm for Americans who love the Constitution?
The former two-time congressman endured a four-year investigation with four grand juries, followed by an indictment and conviction by our own Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service. He is now serving a 10-year prison sentence.

The Return of Jackpot Justice | RealClearPolicy
"Recently, RealClear held a dinner discussion on the issue of Jackpot Justice — a big problem of the 90’s, which, we thought, had been addressed.

• News Alert: A recent Texas decision just might bring back this practice of seeking whopping judgments unconnected to the cost of actual damages, or an underlying crime, or negligence.

...What I call the “magic jurisdiction,” . . . [is] where the judiciary is elected with verdict money.
The trial lawyers have established relationships with the judges that are elected; they’re State Court judges; they’re populists.
They’ve got large populations of voters who are in on the deal, they’re getting their piece in many cases.
And so, it’s a political force in their jurisdiction, and it’s almost impossible to get a fair trial if you’re a defendant in some of these places. 
The plaintiff lawyer walks in there and writes the number on the blackboard, and the first juror meets the last one coming out the door with that amount of money. . .
The cases are not won in the courtroom.
They’re won on the back roads long before the case goes to trial. 
...After hearing about this new case, we have public reason for concern..."

GOP wins crushing victory in 2 Special Elections (PA & SC).

GOP wins crushing victory in 2 Special Elections (PA & SC).
"Remember in 2017-2018 when the media hyped every special election as a disaster for the GOP. Remember when certain Freepers would post "THE SKY IS FALLING" on every special election?
Well...
The GOP won two state legislative special elections tonight by crushing margins:

• Republican David Rowe Defeated Democrat Jennifer Rager-Kay in the 85th Legislative District in Pennsylvania by a 62.62%-37.38% Margin. This is a R+18 seat, and Rowe won by 25 points.
• Republican Patrick Haddon defeated Democrat Carrie Counton 60.99% - 39.01% in South Carolina Legislative District 19. This is a R+13 seat, and Haddon won by 21 points.

While these are both GOP holds, in both of these elections, the GOP massively overperformed the partisan voting index for these seats.
The media will not even mention these wins."

How has nuclear power changed since Chernobyl?

How has nuclear power changed since Chernobyl?
"...It is necessary to acknowledge that while some riskswill always be there, nuclear power is actually safer than ever, and importantly, it could help curb our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels.
To learn more about this funky world of radioactive physics, we’re going to answer some questions about how our nuclear landscape has changed since 1986 (I’d say spoiler alert, but that’s not really applicable to historical events that happened decades ago). 

• How much nuclear energy do we use today?

As of July 2019, 416 nuclear reactors are operating in 34 countries, and they’re producing about 10.3% of the world’s electricity. 
That’s a marked drop from their peak share of 17.5% of worldwide electricity in 1996...
